The steamer and rail lines are arranging ex- cursion rates for tue reunionists Although the reunion occurs in the height of the summer season, it is thought that ample ar- engagements have been made to accommodate all that come. One caterer from Providence will bring facilities to feed thousand per- sons. The first days exercises will be at Stonington, consisting of addresses, poems, music, etc., second and last day at the home stead grounds of Walter, the progenitor, where a Rhode Island clambake will be served. The date of the reunion is the ami versary of the battle of Stoningtop in the war of 1912. It now looks as if the Palmer reunion will be the greatest affair ever held in this part of New England

rha pa1n,er Reunton,

Notwithstanding over 5000 invitations have been issued to the reunion of the Palmer family to be held at Stonington, in this State, August 10th and 11th, the demand from Pal : mer residents in the middle and western States for invitations far exceeds the expec- tations of the management. From present appearances it may become necessary for the corresponding secretary at Stonington to give notice that no more invitations will be issued after the fifth of August. The re- union was organized in honor of Walter Pal mer, Puritan, who settled in Stonington in 1853, but it has merged into grand reunion of the Palmer family, extending from Maine to California. Many noted men, de- scendants of Walter Palmer, have already accepted invitations to be present. It is hoped General Grant, also descendant, will

 A Brief Outline of His Career.
 Some in this city will remember Mir. W. W. Dudley, who left this city some 20 years ago to seek his fortune in the busy Vest He was previously for two years engaged in the establishment of his friend and generous benefactor, Wm.

It was badly decomposed, but the jury concluded it mEst be a woman from the small feet and large calves.

The Aaron Wilcox Case.


 Hearing Before the Police Commission
 ers-The Evidence Before the Coroner's
 Jury Repeated.
 The Police Commissioners held meeting last evening in the City Court room for the purpose of investigating the charges against Officers B. Jackson and Phelps. who arrested Aaron E. Wilcox on the early morning of Sunday, June 26th, and who, when arrested claimed that he had been injured by the off, cers who arrested him by being stamped upon. It will be recollected that Wilcox was taken to the hospital and died there on the Monday following. An autopsy by Doctors M. c. White and Russell, house physicians at the hospital, revealed the fact that Wilcox came to his death from a ruptured liver and, perhaps, rupture of the gall bladder. Be- fore the coroner's jury the physicians testi- fled that the injury was undoubtedly caused by violence, either in falling against some hard substance or by injuries received from some person a. blow or from after hearing all the facts in the case, rendered verdict that the deceased came to his death from injuries received by some person or persons, the persons the jury could not agree upon. At the same time they recommend that the Police Commissioners 4usbEu uCb bA6 pOlc0Iu0u to Df1nR QruuK0u per- sons to the lookup in wagons rather than to use force by dragging them with nippers.
 The commissioners, not satisfied with the result of the coroner's inquest, decided to in- vestigate for themselves, and this was the purpose of their meeting last evening. The evidence brought out in the investigation did not differ materially from that before the coroner's jury. Officers Jackson and Phelps the parties more interested in the matter than any others, swore positively that no vio- fence was used in the arrest. They testified to the fact of finding Wilcox in an intoxi- cated condition and swore positively that they did not kneel upon him as there was no occasion for their doing so. Doctors White and Russell testified in regard to their autopsy and the condition that they found Wilcox in, but no new facts were brought to light.
 After hearing the witnesses present, Mir. Bollman said that four witnesses that had been summoned were not present.
 Commissioner Harmon moved that the hearing be continued until next Tuesday evening, and that an effort be made to secure the absent witnesses. It was so ordered and the board adjourned.

The Enstern Entrance to the Sound.

The Eastern Entrance to the Sound.
 The NaaticaZ Gazette advises the Long Island Sound and Hell Gate pilots to com bine and place frst-class steam pilot boat at the eastern entrance to Long Island Sound, and let it be widely known that they are pre- pared to take vessels to New York at fifty per cent. less cost than they can be brought in by way of Sandy Hook. It says they can make more money this way than they can by sitting down and mourning over the passage of the bill freeing coasting vessels from Hell Gate pilotage. The GGzette says shipping merchants are awakening to the fact that they can save number of square rigged vessels going to sea this way gives evidence of the increasing popularity of this route. Fair sized ocean steamers not infrequently pass through the Sound on their way across the Atlantic. The GGzete closes it's article as follows The time is ripe for plenty of business for the Long Island Sound pilots if they will only ake advantage of it."
