Another Body-A CoIored Woman's I

Another Body-A CoIOred Woman's Re-
 mains.
 A body taken from the Narragansett, Sun day, by Capt. Scotts men, was taken to Say brook, and yesterday transferred to New London. The remains were those of col ored woman about five feet and six inches in height, but so much decomposed as to make identification impossible. They were clad in what appeared to be dark alpaca dress not much worn. White stockings and but ton gaiters were on the feet The under clothing was of white material, trimmed with lace. On the third finger of the left hand was brass ring with a nickle-plated square piece set on for crest. The remains were sent to Stonington on the o'clock train yes- terday afternoon, and they will be buried there.
 A lot of common wooden chairs belonging to the Narragansett were brought into port by fishing steamer Saturday night, and yes terday they were shipped to Stonington.
 The report comes from Washington that an official investigation is to be made into the circumstances of the disaster. It appears to be held that the local board of inspectors must do the inyestipatinp

Butter and its limitations.

From the. .mancneSler 6uarOldn-I
 Butter holds an almost paramount place in the dietary of modern life. Its value as an article of food and the ready ease with which 1t can be made available on the briefest mo- tice have brought 1t into such demand that almost every device which greed or dishonesty could suggest have been brought into play to meet the demand, and adulteration has so far permeated the butter trade that it has be- come difficult to secure at any price the pure article for the breakfast table. The mixture in the churn by the farmer of old butter with new is modest and pardonable kind of adu1- teration compared with many of the compo- sitions which are forced on the market Some of the mixtures have taken name of their own, as "oleomargarine," 'butterine, :" and ''bosh.'' Without waiting to discuss the component parts of these articles and the processes by which they arrive at state to be presented in the market, we may give some idea of the extent of the trade done by mentioning that it was lately given in evi- dence at Washington, before the Committee of the House of Representatives on Agricul- ture and Manufactures, that the factory in New York turns out 40, 600 pounds of cleo margarine per day, and there are eleven other such factories in Baltimore, Chicago, and other cities; and New York port sends out 5000 tierces of 1t per month 'Bosh, " made of one-third butter and two-thirds animal suet sent from Holland in boxes, at 9d. per pound, has lately been sold in London at the same -95s per hundred-weight- Cork butter. It must be some satisfaction to consumers to know that better prospect of purer and cheaper article is dawning upon us. Thanks to the efforts of Canon Bagot and Prof. Bald win, stir is being made among the Irish ag- riculturists to produce Q better quality of butter. Prof. Baldwin, some little time ago, sent one of the agricultural students of Glas- nevin, who had never made butter before, to the Aylesbury Dairy Farm to learn butter making, and after he had worked there for six weeks he returned; and quantity of cream having been divided between him and the regular dairy maid, 1t was decided, in the opinion of the best judges in Dublin, that the young mans butter was worth 3d. per pound more than that made by the dairy maid. But a fresh ray of hope comes from Australia, where butter can be purchased at 5d per pound A Mir. David Wilson, of Mount Eger-E ton, is credited with the important discovery of method of preserving butter perfectly sweet for any period. Mir. Wilson, instead of the salt used in most places, employs liquid salt, purified by distillation, and he bestows great attention to the details of mak- ing the butter. The butter is placed in casks or tins, either in the mass, in rolls, or prints, and the cask is filled with the liquid preserve Several casks after being made up for six months, have been opened and found to be perfectly sweet and of very fine flavor This discovery is calculated to do much toward re- ducing the high price of butter, and giving the consumer pure article.

Barn Burned i'm merfden

A barn belonging to James Cody, on South street, Meriden, just outside of the city im- it's, was entirely consumed at about 3 o'clock yesterday morning. MT. Cody succeeded in rescuing horse and COW from the flames, but his stock of farming tools, implements, wagons, etc., were destroyed. There was a big blaze, but no alarm was sounded in the city, as the flames could not be seen. The origin of the fire was undoubtedly incendiary. The loss is estimated at about $500. It is not yet known whether it was covered by any in- s5y.ro,,aa

A Slight Fire.

Yesterday afternoon at 4:20 o'clock an alarm of fire was given from box 43, corner of East and Locust streets. The cause of the alarm was the fact that one of the build ings formerly occupied by the Shore Line Railroad Company as repair shop was on fire. The fire which started on the east side of one of the wooden buildings was supposed to have been ignited by boys. A stream from steamer soon extinguished the flames and but little damage was done. The hose cart of steamer while going to the fire was upset near the East street bridge. The horse, which is headstrong one, was going rapidly when he turned the corner of East and To- cust streets. The only damage done was to break the gong on the hose cart.

Thomas KiIlian, the track master, killed by the cars Friday night, had been working Friday, and the last known of him was his attending to the removal from the track and the burial of COW killed by the cars, and his then starting for Fairfeldto look at po- tato field which he was eultiyating there. He was probably walking on the track and stepped aside to avoid one train when he was struck by another.

Police Notes.

James Colwell, who is said to be insane, was arrested last evening on charge of
 breach of the peace on his brother. The ac- cused is said to be partially insane, and some time since attempted to commit suicide by jumping overheard from one of the New Ha- we'd steamers lying at New York.
 ''Chappie'' White came into the station house last evening accompanied by police
 officer, and was closely followed by Consta-
 ble Enscoe. The latter claimed that White
 had snatched a receipt from him, which he
 denied Captain Hyde thought it @ matter that he had no control over, and after an un- successful effort of the constable to take the
 document from "Chappie''. he departed to
 find Attorney Pickett, declaring that he would
 have White arrested for theft.

Shooting Array at East Granbv,

The Springfield Union credits East Granby with a sensation in the form of the shooting, by Miss Melissa Aldrich, of Mrs. l. B. Alder man, at the house of Rensselaer, Pinney. The Aldrich girl who has been keeping house for Pinney since his separation from his wife, and who, though never married, has a child several years old, claims that the revolver went of accidentally while Mrs. Alderman was trying to wrest it from her. Another, story is that Mrs. Alderman was jealous of the girl, and had before given her ''piece of her mind,' as the saying is, and that the re- volver was loaded and placed on the butter shelf, in anticipation of her next visit. The precise facts, perhaps, can only be found out by legal examination, but as yet the proper authorities have not moved in the matter, though it has become town talk and scandal Mrs. Alderman received only 8 slight wound.
