There are men in Salt Lake City,
once we'll to do, who have been literally
bankrupted by polygamous families.
Polygamy on generous scale is ex-
ceedingly expensive. The five richest
Mormans in Salt Lake are William
Jennings, W. II. Hooper, f. Little, H.
S. Eldredge and John Sharp. They are
not solely ecclesiastical leaders, but are
business men, and at the most modest
estimate their wealth will average

He almost strangled her and tore her clothing into shreds. All the guides of the Adirondacks are hunting the villain down, and have sworn vengeance and that they will have him dead or alive " The telegram must be in error in relation to the route taken and the locality of the crime. It is more probable that Mrs. Bull and the guide started from Blue Mountain through Racquet Lake, and took dinner at the Forked Lake House. These are short ':earries, and by no means isolated at this season, and 1t is probable that the crime was committed at 8 ''carry" about mile and a half long at the extreme end of Forked Lake (which IS a love, ly spot) and the direct course to Long Lake where the Platt camp is located.

The Shell Fish Commissioners.
Fixing the Lines for New Haven, East H
 

Fixing the Lines for New Haven, East Ha- ven and Orange.
 The State Commissioners of Shell Fisher ies were occupied yesterday forenoon in hearing parties interested in the layout of oyster lines of the towns of New Haven and Orange, over which the comm issioners are to have jurisdiction .Selectmen Andrew and Foote appeared for New Haven, George R. Kelsey 1 and David Platt for Orange and c. L. Lud. ] ington for East Haven. The shore line be- ginning at the westerly end of Orange was | fixed from Merwin's Point to Oyster River Point, distance of II miles The line was then laid out from Oyster River Point clear across the mouth of the harbor, a distance of five miles to South End. From South End the line was drawn to Johnson's Point, distance of about one mile. This brought it to the eastern point of East Ha- ven.
 The meridian lines running south into the Sound were fixed as follows: Between Mil l ford and Orange 8 line beginning at the center of the bridge over Oyster river at it's mouth; between Orange and New Haven line beginning at point on the Shore line (from Oyster River Point across | to South End) about one and three-quarter miles west of South End between New Haven Gin which was included the annexed portion of East Haven) and East Haven a line beginning at Morris Creek and between East Haven and Branford line beginning at Farm river.
 The principal discussion was as to whether the shore ino from Orange to New Haven should run from Savin Rock Point to Light house Point, following the present harbor line. The commissioners favored this line,
 but the Orange representatives desired the line to run from Oyster River Point to the old Light, while Messrs. Foote and Andrew argued for having South End the eastern
 terminal point. The latter gentlemen finally got the line fixed as they desired, and in con- | sequence New Haven gains more oyster land
 than if either of the other two lines had been
 adopted.
 It may help those interested to better un-
 derstand matters, if the following measure
 ments are given: The shore line laid out
 from Oyster Point to South End is five miles long; from Savin Rock Point to Lighthouse
 Point is two and three-fourth miles ; ! from Savin Rock Point to the innermost point of the Morris Cove curve is three and
 one-fovrth miles; and from Lighthouse
 Point to the end of Long Wharf is three and
 one eighth miles. Including this yesterdays
 work, the Fish Commissioners have now laid
 out the oyster lines for Connecticut towns ! touching upon Long Island Sound from the
 new New York State line as far east as Clin , ton. Then will come Westbrook, Saybrook
 Lyme and the other eastern towns till Ston
 ington on the State line is reached. In gen eral the lines all follow the coast at higI
 water. Any town not satisfied with it's linei can appeal to the Superior Court Thus fal
 but one town, Norwalk, has talked of taking
 such an appeal and the authorities there I-admit that they are satisfied the Commission
 CTS did, perhaps, as much as lay in theil , power under the circumstances.

Train and a Load of Wood. :.

The milk train down the Housatonic road
 Wednesday night struck load of wood that
 was standing on the track at Sawmill Curve,
 about three miles above New Milford The
 load had got stuck on the track and the driv- CT, knowing that it was near train time and fearing for the horses, unhitched them. The engineer saw the obstruction ahead and after whistling down brakes and reversing ths en. zine jumped off. None of the cars were de- railed when the locomotive struck the load, and no one on the train was injured. The cart was pretty much demolished. One oi the sticks of wood became wedged between the running board and the boiler and could not be dislodged until the train reached Bridgeport.

Mary Seymour's Troubles.

At the meeting of the Selectmen this even- ing, Selectman Andrew will present his re- port of the committee's hearing in Bridge port, on Wednesday, relating to tbsir investi- gation of the charges made by Mary Seymour,
 thirteen year old girl who was bound out to a family by the name of Nolan five years ago
 It is understood that while the family are willing to give up the girl, as she is dissatis- fled with them, defect in the indenture has been found which makes the contract worth less. The girl alleges cruel treatment and claims that in other ways the Nolans failed to fulfH their share of the agreement. The girls story seems to be believed by the com mittee who investigated. The gentlemen were Selectmen Andrew, Hart and Reynolds.
