Messrs. A. Foote $ Co.,, the enterprisiDg and popular dealers in sea food, have one of the finest markets in this part of New Eng land, and the extent of the supplies furnished from this famous market in the course of a single year is simply enormous.

The Derby R. R.

Proposed Reduction in Farea--.TennpO-
 rary Change fin the Direction of Tray.
 eIs
 The management of the Derby R. R. is considering the propriety of reducing fares in difference to numerous suggestions ire quently repeated of late. While no schedule has yet been agreed upon, the probability is that the reduction will amount to 10 per cent. or 50 cents each way from Ansonia, and 45 cents from Birmingham. The issuance of ex- cursion tickets is also under consideration, the price of which will probably be fixed at 75 cents from Ansonia. At least this fig ure is advocated by one high in authority in the management of the road. The trestling over the flats between Birmingham and Derby is to be renewed and strengthened, aud work will begin in short time. While this work is in progress, which will last about week, freight from Birmingham will come north ward to Ansonia and go hence over the Naug- atuck road to the junction at Derby and thence as usual. Passengers will also be con- veyed over the same route if they desire, but as it will be much more convenient, well as economical in point of time, to cross to Derby and take the train from that point few will probably avail themselves of the privilege above ofered.-Naugatuck Sentinel

Sentence of the Burglars.

Quick Work-BrOught Before the
 Court On a Bench W2rrant-RecOv-
 cry Uf a Quantity of Stolen Goods
 The clever arrest of the two burglars in New York who robbed the store of R. J. Fair in WaIlingford on Wednesday night, and their return to this city the same night in charge of Detective Reilly, the subsequent discovery of their ill-gotten gains, arrest of another of the gang, the sentence of the par ties to State prison, shows very commendable work on the part of the officers of the law. After the arrest of Williams and McHolt, the latter ''gave away" an accomplice in this city. About 5 o'clock yesterday morning Detective Reilly, accompanied by Officer Moore, went to the house on Water street which is situat- ed next to Beckley's lumber yard. The man the officer was seeking for answered his call and asked what was wanted. His apartments were searched, and a considerable amount of odds and ends, evidently stolen property, but of little value, were found. Among the mis- cellaneous lot of articles was box of cigars, a tobacco box marked E. A. Parker, Yales- vile, a lot of plug tobacco, soap, suspenders, ton keys, candles, two overcoats, three undercoats, and three pairs of pantaloons. A cloak which has since been iden- tifed as the property of Mrs. Edgar Wheeler and stolen from the parsonage of the Church of the Messiah, March 30, was also found. The man, who gave his name as George Ed wards, was arrested and conveyed with the goods found to the police station. Upon the police record book appear their names, ages, etc, as follows: George Williams, age 29, New York, shoe cutter; Charles McHolt, 22, Kingston, Canada, travelling agent; George Edwards, 20, Kingston, ,~laborer. The two last named are evidently older than they claim to be. These three men are undoubtedly the ones who have recently been at work here burglarizing dwelling houses.
 Yesterday morning the three men were taken before the Superior Court on a bench warrant and all pleaded guilty. Chief Justice Park sentenced Williams and Edwards to two years each in State prison and McHolt for g months, he turning States evidence.
 The landlady of the house on Water street where the burglars made their headquarters says that throughout the entire time that they were there she saw them by daylight only once. They kept in their room until dark and then started out.

Obituary.
Edwin A. Tucker.

MT. Edwin A. Tucker, associate editor of the Hartford Post died at his home in Hart ford last evening of congestion of the lungs and malarial fever. His illness was short one, and as he was reported better and likely to recover day or two ago the news of his death is sad surprise to his friends in this city.
 MT. Tucker has had varied experience as a journalist. He commenced where many good journalists have commenced, at the "case." He came to the office of this paper when boy, and here he learned to set type. Being ambitious to try his powers in 8 new field, he s'bought his time" shortly before the term of his apprenticeship expired and went to Waterbury as associate editor and proprie- tor of the Journal, 8 campaign paper. This was in 1856. After the campaign there was no further use for or profit in the paper, and he left Waterbury. Since that time his jour- nalistic work has been done mainly on papers in this city and in Hartford, though he was in Norwich for awhile, where he struggled hard to make the Norwich Advertiser paying as well as 8 good paper. His work In this city comprises terms of ser vice on the Lever, the Register and the JoUR- NAL AND COURIER. He was for several years associate editor of the Register with the late Minott A. Osborn, and, as is well remembered by the older readers of that paper, did effect i've work in politics by his writing. He was the managing editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER for four or five years previous ts his removal to Hartford, which was in 1873. Since that time he has been associate editor of the Hartford Post, with the exception of short interval.
 As journalist MT. Tucker was energetic,
 sharp and aggressive and thoroughly in love with his profession. He knew what was news, and how to get it. He spared no pains to beat
 rival newspaper, and was frequently suo-
 cessfuI in doing 1t. He liked a controversy,
 and his early training, combined with his nat ural aptitude for such work, made him an an-
 tagonist to be respected. Yet he was fair
 minded, and, in his later years especially, was careful to treat an opponent courteously. He could do all kinds of editorial work we'll, but his strong point was in writing on political topics. Here he was at home. He knew the political history of the nation and of the State
 very thoroughly, and remembered 8 great { deal that those politicians whom he attacked | would have been glad to have him forget.
 Personally, MT. Tucker was a pleasant companion, generous, tolerant and true to
 his friends, by whom he will be long mourned.

irving a New Engine of Death.


 Yesterday morning in Hartford an exhibi- ton of the improved Gardner gun was given at Pratt & Whitney's, before Col. J. G. Bsn- ton, commandant of the United States arsenal at Springfield, and Capt. J. B. Greer of the United States Ordnance department. Six of these new guns have recently been sold to the United States Government, and in order to show them in practical work the exhibi- tion was made. Seven hundred cartridges were fired with great rapidity and ease, and the effectiveness of the new system was clear Iy demonstrated. A new and ingenious device is that by which the barrels are prevented from becoming too hot. The brass casting over the barrels is so arranged that water covers them and by this means the steel can never reach temperature of over PIP de- grees. Another gun was also tried. This, instead of having two barrels, has four, and thus the rapidity of firing is just doubled. i This gun is in an incomplete state and is to 1 be made for the English Government.
