Almost a aDisaster.

Tho Steamer Adelphi i'm Great Peril.
 Monday afternoon as the steamer Adelphi, running between South Norwalk and New York, was coming up the Sound, a cylinder head was blown out Tho escaping steam and the noise caused almost panic among the passengers The affair happened of Greenwich, to which place the boat eventu- ally put in, and the passengers were forward ed by cars. No one was injured as far as learned.
 About one-half the 125 passengers were women, many of whom were accompanied by children. Their screams mingled with the shouts of the men, and the widest excite ment prevailed. Capt. Anderson and B. W. Naples, of the Norwalk Hour, in vain at tempted to restore order by shouting that there was no danger. The cowardly action of some of the male passengers seemed only to increase the notion of pressing danger. They began to pull down the life preservers and buckle them on, pushing women aside 1n thelr scramble for the means to save their own worthless lives. One man, whose name could not be ascertained, buckled three life presery- CTS on, and was hunting for fourth, when he ran against fellow who had on two and was in search of 8 third, and they began to wrangle over preserver which both had dlss covered at the same instant. One woman was on her knees clasping her little grandson and praying The steam in the cabin became so dense that passengers could hardly find their way about. As the supply in the boilers de- creased the gauge showed that the pressure had fallen to Is pounds in half that many minutes. The atmosphere in the cabin grad ually cleared and the passengers were re- stored to reason.

Large Picnic from the City-GenernI En-
 joyment-PersonaI.
 The Church of the Sacred Heart had it's annual picnic yesterday at West Haven shore, and from the middle of the forenoon until dewy eve Railroad Grove and the bathing grounds and other resorts resounded with ex clamations from the happy people as they various1y enjoyed themselves. Extra horse cars in the afternoon were required to ac- commodate the throngs. The only draw back was the absence of the pastor, Rev..Mr. Sheffrey, who is in Colorado for his health, Several of the prominent members of the congregation drove down to the shore, and the highways leading to the Rock were alive with pleasure teams generally, some of which came from places fifteen or twenty miles dis tant. The day was refreshingly cool after the thunder showers and the wheeling was splendid, the dust being also laid.
 The City Guard were indebted to Colonel Basserman on their excursion to the Rock Monday for an abundant supply of the ColoneTs best brewing a reminder of his regard for the old command of which he is an honored veteran, and who also, as part or the OecOnQ, were uuueE HIS SoAAeAAN when Colonel.
 Visiting at the Rock yesterday were Messrs. J. H. Higgins, prominent Meriden man in former years in business in New Haven, and with him were his granddaughter, Miss Nel- lie Rowland of Chicago, MT. G. A. Bauer, 8 prominent Meriden jeweler, and a nephew, Mr. Watson Henshaw of East Brookfeld, Mass, the latter of whom is with his mother, Mrs. Loring Renshaw, and an aunt, Mrs. Lyman Bemis, both of East Brookfeld, stop ping with MT. Huggins at his home. Capt. George Ward was at the shore yesterday, giving his aid for the success of sharpie boat race which is to come off at Burns Point next Saturday afternoon, by MT. Burns of the Sea Side House. The first prize is $15, second $1O, and number of small sharpies (not over 16 feet) will contend for prize also on the same occasion. The larger boats are to have working suits" of sails and no outriggers.
 The great shore hop of the season is ex- pected at the Branford Point House to-mor- row night Two hundred invitations have been issued in this city besides many others It is probable that the barge Nightingale will be chartered to convey portion of the Visi- tors from this city.

Suicide tn Farmfngton.

Isaac Miles, living in Pennington, Conn.,, committed suicide yesterday morning while laboring under depression of spirits. He was a butcher by trade and well known in Hartford, where he was formerly employed. He was about ffty-fve years of age and has grown up family. A boy in the house, hearing an unusual noise, went to MT. Miles room to see what was the cause of it. As he opened the door he saw the man standing in front of a looking glass with razor to his throat. Before the boy could call for assis- tance Miles drew the razor across his throat from ear to ear, and fell to the floor, where he expired in a few minutes. The cut was a fearful one, and it is said that had it not been for the vertebrm it would have nearly severed his head from his body.

Last Trip to Shelter Island - The St. Francis Orphans.
 Only one more trip to Shelter Island this
 season remains, and that will be advertised
 either for the 11th or the 14th, when the
 Starin brings back the New Haven and other
 families from this State who are there for
 the season No doubt this closing opportu-
 nity for this fine sail will be enjoyed by many others
 The St. Francis Asylum orphans had
 merry, joyful day yesterday through the
 kindness of Mir. Edward Malley, whose gen.
 erous act in making this free trip for the lit
 tie folks will be bright spot in their mem-
 ory for years and years to come. At about
 nine o'clock the barges Nightingale, Columbia
 and City of Films appeared at the entrance to
 the asylum. Little faces all over the build
 ing had been peering gladsomely out from
 the windows in anticipation of the event, and
 the good sisters had found them overfowing with happiness at the thought of the excur-
 sion. They could hardly eat their breakfast
 for pleasure, and their toilets were made with unusual rapidity. The young folks were soon marshalled, and the girls and boys made pretty sight as the busses and barges were whirling along taking the party to the grounds. Rev. MT. Harding, the chaplain and master of ceremonies, the mother supe- rior, Sister Felicita, and seven of the sisters who are teachers at the asylum, accom- panied them. During the day nearly all of the priests in the city and majority of the board of managers of the asylum visited the children at the South End picnic grounds. MT. Broschart, the butcher, with whom the contract for provis- ions for the children was made, saw that all the meats were well cooked, and himself superintended the cooking. There was 8 plenty of ice cream and the happiness of the occasion was personally overlooked by Mir. Malley's nephew, Mir. M. w. Malley, which was guarantee of a good administration.
 The young folks had a royal day of it and re- turned early in the evening surfeited with
 happiness.
 A correspondent says s'There were pres
 ent at the grounds. to aid the occasion, Rev. Fathers Harding, Mulholland, Fitzpatrick, Labor, McGivney, O'Connor, Sehaele and O'Brien (of Hartford) and Dr. O'Connor of this city, and several of the board of mana gers of the asylum. The sisters of St. Eliza beth and from the asylum were present in full force also quite-a number of seminarians. | Mrs. DeForrest and several other ladies interested in the welfare of the institution visited the grove during the day and were entertained with songs by the children. Refreshments were served in abundance at noon and before leaving the grove at night. The day was 8 perfect one 1 in every respect and nothing occurred to mar
 in the slightest way the festivities of the occa- sion, which was one of unalloyed pleasure to all the participants. It was very much re- gretted that MT. Edward Malley, whose ab-
 sence was unavoidable, could not have been present to have heard the expressions of de- light and praise from the lips of the happy children on the way to and from the grove" :"

Local Com mutation Rates.

The Norwalk Gazette says that in an inter view with MT. George H. Watrous, president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road, Vincent Colyer, of Darien, has been authorized to say to his constituents that the long promised reduction in local communication rates, :. c., from station to station, on the line of that road, would take place at once, as soon as the new schedule can be arranged. This will be of great advantage to the na...- work-people re- siding on the line of the r",.i who have to make daily trips morning crening to the factories located at Norwalz Stamford, Bridgeport, New Haven, Wallingford, Meri- den, Hartford and Thompsonville. It is pro- posed to keep the old plan of quarterly tick cts, but to bring the prices more in harmony with the rates to commuters who go daily to New York. As the red duction in the price of single trip tickets last spring has resulted in a large increase of travel and of cash receipts to the treasury of the road, it is not doubted that this change will have the same result
