The Atlantic Yacht Club,

Numerous visitors sailed and drove to Black Rock Sunday to see the Atlantic Yacht club squadron, which laid at anchor in the harbor there during the day The ves- sells of the fleet began to arrive during the afternoon, giving to the place as one after another dropped in an appearance of unwont- ed animation. Each yacht upon her arrival was saluted with one gun, the former custom of giving a salute from the whole fleet not being followed this year. Saturday evening a grand display of rockets and other fire works was made from the fleet, and there was also grand hop at the George Hotel, participated in by the yachting party, who were entertained by the guests of the house. Yesterday morning at II o'clock divine ser vice took place on board the yacht Crusader, Rev. c. H. Hall, of Trinity church, oficia- ting. The membership of the club includes four clergymen. The guests of the hotel were brought off to the Crusader to attend the services by the yawls of the various yachts. A volunteer choir of sang familiar hymns with very pretty effect, and Rev. Mr. Hall preached an appropriate and pleasant sermon. After dinner perfect Sabbath repose prevailed in the harbor and on shore, but in the evening the scene became more lively. Yesterday morning the fleet set sail for New London. The squadron comprises the following craft Schooners-Crusader. Mir J. Roger Maxwell Triton, MT. Geo. A. Bayer; Agnes, Commodore L. A.

Charles GiIbert,s Caae.

The statement that Charles E. Gilbert, who is serving life sentence in prison, is in such poor health that he cannot survive long is
 hardly borne out by his appearance, though
 he has been complaining of not feeling well of late. He appears to be in about the same state of health as usual, and goes to his work quite regularly. He says it is hard to be shut up for crime which he is innocent of, and complains about the injustice of keeping him and at the same time letting those really guilty go free. He says the Legislature par l doned four men during the past year who | actually took human lives, while he who had 1 nothing at all to do with the murder of Cad ! well the State refuses to let go.
 At the time of Gilbert's conviction nearly l every one believed that Charles Parsons had q hand in the murder. Gilbert's confession | fastened the crime upon Don Gilbert and Parsons. Directly following the confession came the report, which was published at the l time, that this Charles Parsons had been | found dead in the woods few miles east of here. Gilbert ridiculed the idea, declaring | that Parsons was playing the 'possum dodge ! to escape arrest. Now Gilbert says he knows | he is alive. A friend called at the prison
 some time ago and said he had seen Parsons | alive and well. There is not much doubt | that if Parsons should be tried for the mur- | der of Caldwell he would be convicted | fo7H Ti1nes

The general committee of the Veteran Firemen's association appointed to make ar- engagements for the third annual reunion held meeting in Chief Hendricks office last evening to consider the place for the gather ing and to hear reports of subcommittee appointed to consider time and place for holding the reunion.
