 The TsIephone AS a Lightning Conductor
 Ut Probably Saves Mill From Dam- age.
 During the severe thunder storm of Tues
 day the lightning entered the Wasuc mills at East Glastonbury, ran along the steam pipe, leaving 8 plain mark on the wall, and at last passed by projecting wire to the telephone, I which had only just been put in. It passed off through the ground connection of the ! telephone, without doing any other damage ! than to burn out the bell on the instrument l and it is probable that the telephone, by furnishing free course for the electric fluid saved the mill from serious damage. Another | bell on the same circuit was burned out 1T l this storm. These are the only injuries from l lightning that have been experienced by the l company this summer.

MT. Frederick Marquand one of Yale's chapel, died yesterday morning at his home in Southport, Conn, in the S4th year of his age. President Porter at the recent alumni meeting of Yale spoke of this benefactor and the change of the name Marquand chapel to Bacon Memorial Hall at the request of Mir. Marquand, in honor of the late Rev. Dr Bacon tablet on the walls of the chapel is inscribed to the memory of Hetty Perry beloved wife of the deceased
 A sketch of the life of this departed gen. tleman is as follows, from yesterdays New York EUenirag Post: ''His father, Isaac | Marquand, was Huguenot, native of l Guernsey, who came to this country in the last century. Early in the present century Mir. Frederick Mar l quand began business in this city as jewel ler and his firm of Marquand & Co., in time ! became the most noted jewelry house of New 1 York. For many years the firm occupied ! the building No. 1S1 Broadway, then con \ sidered one of the finest structures in the metropolis. Some thirty years ago. having acquired large fortune, MT. Marquand re tired from business, and was succeeded by the firm of Ball, Black &5 Co, the members of which had been clerks in his employ. l. ''Since then Mir Marquand has passed
 much time in foreign travel. Previous tt
 the war he passed his winters in the South
 One of his keenest pleasures has been tn,
 distribution of large share of his wealth fo
 benevolent and educational objects, but h.
 shrank from publicity in connection with hi
 gifts, and for this reason it is difficult to giv l any detailed account of his generosity. Hi
 judgment in business matters was highl,
 esteemed, and he was respected for his ster
 ling integrity.
 'Mr. Henry G. Marquand, of this city, an
 Mrs. Asa G. Trask are the only survivors o
 his brothers and sisters. His wife died nor than twenty years ago. He leaves an adopt
 ed daughter, the wife of Elbsrt B. Monroe ) Ball, Black & Co.,
