Suicide at Colts Meadows-Insnne
 George Washington, a colored man, yesterday went down into the south meadows a short distance below Colts ferry, Hartford, and near the bank of the river, for the purpose of gathering bones from dead horses that had been buried there After walking a short distance along the road he turned of into the underbrush. He had proceeded but rod or so from the path when he found the decom- posed body of Q man hanging to small tree. The body was found to be that of an old man and he had evidently been dead some time. The body presented a most sickening aspect, being almost decomposed and a dreadful stench arose from it. In the pockets of the vest brown leather pocketbook, much worn, was found and in this was Canadian ten cent piece and two pennies. There were also few slips of paper which showed the de- ceased was William Cockell. He was insane and had wandered away from the Hartford retreat, to which he had been sent from Montville. He was Englishman by birth and 50 years old at the time of his death Two daughters survive him, one living in Norwich and the other in Worcester, Mass. His wife died short time ago.

The co1or-R1ind auestion.

The committee of railroad engineers ap- pointed to confer with the State Board of Health will probably meet that body this week. Engineers Chatterton and Baker, who are on the committee, have abandoned their work temporarily to take such action as may be deemed necessary by them to protect the interests of the railroad employees. Mir. Chat terton visited counsel yesterday morning for consultation and to prepare their case for presentation to the Board of Health.
 So much has been said about the matter that Dr. Hubbard, of Bridgeport, one of the leading physicians of the State and & mem Der of the Board of Health, is making a personal examination of the engineers with whom he is acquainted. and who have been adjudged to have defective eyesight them from receiving frst-class certificates. In the case of at least one of these, he knows that the mans eyesight is good, and in order to put the matter to practical test, proposes to make trips with engineers on their loco motives over the roads centering in Bridge port. He thinks this will be practical test and when the Board of Health meets pro- poses to speak and act as personal observa- tlon, not theoretical knowledge, teaches him to- It is his opinion, freely expressed, after even partial investigation, that the present rules are absurdm many respects. :. If other members of the State Board would pursue a similar course, perhaps they could see some thing which would lead them to think that their theoretical ideas were faIlacies The engineers feel sure of this, and are anxious to have such test applied
