WANToN WoRK.-One Of the most
needless expedients resortsd to by
reckless people 10 harvest chestnuts
is that of burning the leaves. Com
pared with the timber consumed in
this way the chestnuts are valueless,
and it is a ehame that for results so
small somuch valuable proT ertyshould
he sacrificed in this way. The worst
of the evil is that nothing upon the
premises belongs to the vandals; they
have no right to the fruits grown up
on the property which they sacrifice
TO obtain them, and the sacrifice is
really a decided species of arson. In
part Mr.. A. G. Greene, agent of the
Borden Mining Company, calls atten-
ton to this matter in an ADVERTISE
ment elsewhere. 1t would be well il
other forest owners would cooperate
with him in a vigorous war upon the
reckless trespasfers who, by iniuring
one property, endanger those adjoin-
ing.

IT is said the upper reservoir leaks
and the little water there is gathered
therein ran elsewhere than in tie
pipes. Hence, the town was with cut
water three days laat and this week.
The blessed rain came, however, and
has since furnished the company some
excuse for collecting the rent.

ONE Of the most striking evidences
of American trade development is
found in the fact that Russia, which
contests with us the grain business Of
Europe, is now importing wheat from
America. This is parallel case with
the Importation of American manu-
features and American beefinto Eng
land, and if anything is even more
charitable.

that the oil traffic is not to be given to

The Telephone,

The Consolidation of the Companies-Ex-
 Gov. Jewell President-The Other Off,
 ficers New Haven Men.
 The consolidation of the telephone compa- nies has been fully consummated as previous ly reported. The stock is divided equally between ex-Governor Marshall Jewell of Hartford, M. Frank Tyler and Herrick Frost of this city, and Hon Charles L Mitch ell of East Haven. MT Jewell is president of the new organization, MT Frost superintend-. ent, MT Mitchell treasurer, and MT Tyler secretary. The capital stock is one hundred thousand dollars. In this consolidation of the Bell and Western Union companies the new organization will allow customers the use of either instrument, leaving it to them to decide. Other matters have been dis. cussed, such as change in the tariff, and among the propositions which met with favor was one for the gradation of prices so that the charge for a telephone in a residence will be less than for an instrument in business office. The new company propose to estab- fish exchange offices in Middletown, New Britain, Rockville and various other places. MT J Murray Fairchild, we learn, has been engaged by the company as consulting cleo trician, and will be of great assistance in perfecting these systems. The articles Of association will be found in our advertising columns.

A Crazy Womnn's Freak.

On Monday woman named Mrs Miranda Blew hired team from Camps livery stable in New Britain saying she wanted it for two days. The same afternoon, while she was driving through Edwards street in this city, the horse fell down, entirely exhausted. The horse was afterward helped up and put in the stable of Charles Edwards in the same street, where he died yesterday afternoon. The woman was arrested and taken to the police station, where she was recognized as one who some two years ago was arrested in this city on a charge of obtaining goods under false pretenses. She is evidently of unsound mind and to-day the town author ities are making arrangements to have her properly cared for.-Hartford Times.

Weight Instead of Volume.

Dr c A Lindsley, delegate to the decen- nial convention of physicians for the revision of the Pharmacopoeia, has made his report to the New Haven Medical society. In the revision of pharmacopoeio, quantities here tofore expressed by volume will be expressed in parts, by weight in accordance with the metric system. This will tend to completely change the manner in which prescriptions are written, and also to familiarize the peo- pie with the metric system. Many physicians object to the introduction of the metric system, on the ground that what was good enough for their grandfathers is good enough for them, and because they claim the change will not result in greater accuracy in the com pounding of medicines.

OcatAA OA CAPbs 1Ns 01s 1AANAAotA4c'
 A large number of friends heard with regret yesterday of the death of Capt. Robert Eldredge, which took place at his home in Fair Haven East in the morning. He will be remembered by large number of New Ha- ven excursionists who met him on one or the other of the excursion steamers plying be- tween this city and the east and west shores a few years ago, which he commanded. He was genial and oblging officer and excellent navigator. When George R. Kelsey established his line on the St Johns river, Florida, Captain Eldredge went there and took charge of the Pastime. He returned here year or more ago broken down in health, and sold his interest in the Florida line During the past year he had been in failing health and since last fall had been confined to his house. His illness was con- sumption. He leaves wife and two children The funeral will take place to-day at 1 o'clock from St. James church. He was member of Adelphi Lodge, & M, which attends the funeral.

Dinner was also served at the drill ground The day was very favorable in all respects, moderately cool and not too and kho Arill Qntnrad int with spirit worthy of the old and honored corps. About o'clock the company marched back to their armory on Congress avenue, taking company front, and donned their new dress uniforms and made street parade, looking very finely.

 Since 1873, when the average was .56I2 per cent, the increase has been steady until it has reached nearly one per cent or one week for each member. Nearly the whole of this alarming increase is confined to the ten older lodges and among members over fifty years of age. It has demonstrated the fact that lodges as they grow older cannot pay full benefits for continuous sickness, year after year and remain solvent.
