The bonds in Wheatley's case were reduced from $2,OOO to $1, ,OOO, but the prisoner fail ed to get bail, and was brought to the jail in this city. He came Monday evening with French in charge of Chief of Police Laird. They preferred going at that time rather than passing another night in the lookup.
 French has served five years in an infantry regiment in the regular army and was with the troops which invaded the lava beds in Oregon and busted Captain Jack. He told the chief that he would rather be Andrews dead than French alive, and keenly feels his unfortunate position.

Bath aouss Committee.

The Bath House committee held a meeting in room 10 City Hall last evening, to consider or reconsider their action on the pay of bath house keepers. It had previously been voted that the keepers should receive $250 per day, but finding that the appr opriation which was only $500, would be exhaus ted at this rate before the hot season closed, they was considerable discussion regarding the matter, and it was finally decided that the keepers be paid $225 per day, which would keep the houses open to near the 18th day of September. If the bath houses are kept open beyond that time, an extra appropria- ton will have to be made.

In some sections hereabouts the potato bug seems to have been squelched by the long continued wet season. In other localities they have appeared, but in greatly diminished numbers compared with last years crop. In Woodmont, six miles from here, on some of the farms the bugs are quite numerous, much more than the farmers desire, and they are preying almost wholly upon the tomato vines

Long Island Black sand-I. Beats a Gold


 Mine.
 An exchange says: t'Edison's ore separat- or is 8 device for separating the pure iron particles to be found in the black sand in many places along the coast of Long Island from the common sand and titanite iron, species of iron which is somewhat mag netic, but spells the iron with which it is melted. Inventors have tried magnets be- fore to separate the iron from this sea IS pure iron of excellent quality, but have Edison noticed that the magnet at tracted titanite iron less forcibly than pure iron; so he arranged, 8 shower of sand which should be brought within range of powerful magnet. The sand upon which the magnet has no effect falls into one box, the titanite iron particles which are slightly dedected fall into another, and the pure iron particles which are most defected fall into a third compartment. One of these separators has been at work on Long Island for month, and turns out twenty tons of pure iron sand day at a cost of $1 ton, one boy tending the ma chine and five men and two carts keeping the hopper full of sand. This iron sells readily at $6 ton. Six more machines have been ordered. Edison is paid royalty of $1 upon every ton of iron extracted in this man. ner. He says that it is better than ahy gold mine ever discovered, the demand for iron being constant, and the supply of black sea sand unlimited"

"Htckory Jack'' Dead.

There is hardly lover of good horse in Hartford-we mean of the coterie who for so many years enjoyed the trotti9g at the old Hartford track on the Albany road-but will be somewhat surprised to again hear of the little chestnut stallion Hickory Jack" The notice, this time, winds up his career, learn ing, as we do, from the Augusta (Ga) CarOni- cle, of his death in that city on Monday, June 13 Hickory was better known to Connecti- cut turfmen than any trotter of his size and age in the State. He was handled by the late Tom CarpenteS during the greater part of his Connecticut life, and was foaled and owned before he was sold to leave the State by Toms father. He has won many races was one of the best double team and five-rnile trotters on the turf rarely ev was tired out in a race, and had a record of 2:32. He was 26 years old on the 7th of last May, and had travelled further, perhaps, than any other horse on the turf Hickory Jacks sire was Ethan Allen, dam Lady Litchfeld by Long Island Black Hawk Mir. Jack Chambers bought him in 1865, and carried him to Glasgow to make five mile race. In 1867 he carried him to France, where he trotted several races. He then went back to England for match with a Manchester cart mare, but the mare paid the f1OO forfeit He returned to America and trotted on nearly all the tracks in this coun- try Among others he trotted double race at Philadelphia. His colts are all fine ani- pnals.--H HaTtf0rd Tfaoes

The Congregational Conference-172d
 AnnuaI Meeting.


 The 172d annual meeting of the general as- sociation of Congregational churches of Con- necticut opened yesterday morning at New Milford President Porter addressed the conference upon the theological controversy between Drs Nathaniel W. Taylor and Ben nett Tyler yesterday afternoon. The address of Dr. Porter was significant from the fact that forty-four years ago, the last time the conference was held in New Milford, this controversy was at it's height. The contro- versy between these two divines was one of the most persistent that has ever occurred among the Congregationalists of Connecticut. Dr. Taylor represented the Yale divinity school, while Dr. Tyler represented the di- vinity school now located at Hartford, and at that time at East Windsor Both men were professed Calyinists, but Dr. Tyler, being somewhat broader and more liberal than the East Windsor school, he was accused by his opponents of tending towards Armenianism. The report of the commission on divorce, which followed Dr. Porter's address, was read by the Rev. Charles R. Palmer of Bridgeport.
