The Young English nIidshipman's Grave.

The Young English Mfdshfpman's Grave.
 A young English midshipman named Pow CTS was killed in the war of 1872 in fight between his ship, the Superb, and privateer fitted out from our coast and he was buried at Stonington in the old Phelps burying ground, now part of the Stonington ceme- over his grave. Some years after peace was declared an elderly gentleman arrived in Stonington from England and sought out the parish clergyman, Rev. Ira Hart, saying to him: fI have come from England to see the grave of my boy, my only child" In chaise they went to the cemetery, at the gate of which the Engishman said to the clergyman: 'sTarry here, please; let me visit the grave alone" It is related that the aged man boy midshipman and wept bitterly, as, beneath the grass upon which he re- clined, By the object of his tenderest affec- tions, the hope of his declining years, and in addition to his cup of sorrow, then full, was the thought that he would never again see the grave of his boy. More than half a century has elapsed since the above occurred and the midshipman's father has long since passed away, but the grave of his boy has been remembered. For several years 1t has been the custom of Miss Grace Stanton, a young lady of Stonington, to specially deco rate the midshipman,s grave in a quiet man ner, but on Saturday last, while the band was playing dirge and voIleys Of musketry were being fired within the cemetery enelo- sure, a squad of veterans of the G. A. R. wis., tied the grave of the young Englishman and upon it placed two American flags and a wreath of beautiful flowers. The act of itself was full of simplicity, but how beautiful Upon the monument is inscribed the follow ing:
 Thomas Barratt Powers, aged IS, late mid shipman of H. B. Maiesty's ship Superb, who was killed in action in boat on the 31st of July, 1914. A native of Market Bosworth, in the county of Leicestershire, England

About dozen members of the New Ha- ven Gun Club went to Wallingford yesterday and shot return glass ball match with the Wallingford Glass Ball Club. The latter won in the first contest. Yesterday the New Haven men won, beating their opponents by five points. There were six contestants upon side. The Wallingford boys gave the New Haven visitors fine reception, and supplied the wants of the inner man with their ae- customed hospitality. The New Haven men returned on the scoot train well pleased with their days trip, and expressing admiration for the manner in which they had been treat ed by their WaIlingford friends -FS
 The new Haven men hit 129 balls out of 150, the Wa1lingfords 124 out of 150, which was good shooting all around. The indiyid- ual scores of the New Haven men were as follows: J. T. Jorey 19, Robert Penn 1s, Mir. Longdon q, E. Folsom 22, Homer Mer- win 23, while MT. Hanson broke 25 balls, not making miss. It will be remembered that the scores were out of a possible 25, Mir. Hanson breaking every one.

Y in company with Lucien ghidsey visited the towns Of West Avon and Unionyille to asaer- tain if any knowledge of the tramp could be obtained, but was unsuccessful.
 Detective Cowles, of Hartford, was on the scene Tuesday and will be there again Thursday. The supposed elew of Tuesday proves to be no account. No one seems to suspect who the guilty party is, although several have their own theories, which are as varied as possible.
 There was a rumor at noon yesterday that the niece had been seen in West Avon and ap- piled there for work, but it is too absurd for belief.
 A Another rumor is that a former inmate of the Suffeld alndshouse, who has been for the past two months working for MT. Potter, left there two days previous to the murder and has not been seen since. He was con- ] sidered deranged or of weak mind The murdered ladies had been at church ire quently and were kind to him, and have taken him home with them to dinner on two or three different Sundays. As this was Sunday it is thought that he may have gone for his accustomed meal and not finding it ready vented his rage upon his benefactors-" :"

Sudden Death.

Ann Mckee, one of three sisters living at No. Eaton street, all of whom are over sixty years of age, went last evening to get medicine for a sick sister, calling on Dr.. Daggett, corner of Church and Wall streets. After getting the medicine for her sick sister she called on Mrs. DeForest, next door, and while there dropped dead. Dr. Daggett was called in and said that death resulted from hemorrhage. Coroner Hugh Daley was mo- tiied, and after inquiry into the circum- stances of death did not deem an inquest necessary. Trinity church, through Dr. liar wood, has for several years attended to the needs of these sisters, and Dr. Harwood will attend to the burial of the deceased lady.

An UnweIcome Visitor.

When Captain Looseley, the newsdealer, opened his package of New York papers this morning he discovered young tarantula, or scorpion, concealed in the contents. A SCOT pion's sting is generally fatal as the bite. of a rattlesnake, and the discovery of so deadly an insect was not calculated to inspire the beholders with unusual serenity. By delft manipulation the scorpion was pinned to a board, and he. soon after stung himself to death. The bundle in which he was found came up on the New York boat, and as it was near some punches of bananas while in tran sit, the presumption is that he left his hiding place among the bananas and mixed himself up with the light literature of the day New London Telegram.

A Snake Story.

The Meriden Republican says: Curtis Rockwell, of this city, went to his fathers home in Windsor last week. While planting some flowers in the country he stepped on a monstrous black snake which coiled itself around his leg, to the terrific fright of MT. Rockwell. The erect head fiery eyes, and hissing tongue of the snake were too much for him, and he ran in search of some one to help him. After short time the snake un- wound itself and started at a lively rate for the bushes. MT. Rockwelrs fear being over come by anger he put after it and killed it with stone. The snake measured five feet and two inches. For twenty minutes after the marks of the reptiles body were visible on his leg, so the gentleman says, and that every word is true.

JAMES BLACK, Treasurer of the Pro-
hibitiOn National Committee, and a resi-
dent of Lancaster, has received letter
from Ex-Governor MyrOn H. Clark, Of
New York, declining to use his influence
or throw away his vote for Neal Dow. He
says: "Mr. Dow is a gentleman whose
principles upon the liquor prohibition
question admire and approve. ] would
be glad to aid him in any practical way
which would enable him to promote
the good cause. But in the approach
ing Presidential election shall give my
aid, influence, and vote for the Hon.
James A. Garfield, the candidate for the
Republican National party, for that
Office. Viewing the question in a prac-
tical light, we shall know that either the
Republican or Democratic candidate for
that Office will be elected. And / should
greatly deplore the election of the can
didate of the Southern rebel brigadiers
and their allies-the Northern Copper
heads-under the name of the Democratic
National party"

Chicago Inter Ocean.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
The most notable of the many notable
features of the campaign of 1880 is the
astonishing influx or accession of voters
to the Republican ranks from the Demo-
cratic party. 1t has become not merely
matter for occasional remark, but a
really important and significant fact.
Letters from almost every county in
this State, advices from officers of Re-
publican clubs and other prominent
political men, all concur in evidencing
the most singular, and at the same time,
the most natural exodus from the Demo-
cratic party which has taken place since
1860.
Scarcely Republican club has been
formed, even in the remote precincts,
which has not enrolled among its menu
beIs several who voted for Tilden i'm
1876. A number of active leading and
influential Democratic politicians, sew
eral of them noted public speaker, are
among the list, which is daily growing
larger and larger.
A number of single townships and
voting precincts in the central portion
of the State, whose entire vote has never
exceeded $50 to 200 each, report actual
changes of from fifteen to forty votes
each, and some of the Garfield and Arthur
clubs have membership of which fully
One-half is composed of accessiOns from
the Democratic party.
The thing needs ventilation. There
must be some cause for it, and if it can
be shown that "the great influx" is the
result of any unhallOwed organized
management by Republicans, it should
be made at once the subject Of congress
sional investigation. The Hon. Daniel
Exodus Voorhees,, not having achieved
the full measure of nOtOriety to which
he is entitled in his investigation of the
causes which drove the negroes from
the South into Indiana, may find scope
for his peculiar genius in prosecuting
Congressional inquiry to ascertain the
reasons why so many Democrats are
joining the army of Republicanism.
