On the Fly.



A white cat which was about Winchester's
shop was missed recently. In the forging
department of the drop shop is an upright
engine where the blowing is done for the
forges. The other morning the man started
his engine, and looking about the wheel he
noticed something on the fly wheel. The
wheel was making great number of revolu-
lions per minute-going SO fast that the
spokes were invisible. He did not make out
what it was, but paid NO particular attention
to it, as he thought it was the sun shining on
the wheel. CHANGING that way occasionally,
he noticed the same thing several times. He
started the engine at O'clock and at about
$50, noticing the object again on the wheel,
he thought he would stop the engine and see
| what it was. He stopped it and got over
wLere it was, and found it was white cat
| slinging to the wheel. There the cat had
been hanging on for two and half hours.
He took the cat down, and it had become
| cross-eyed. He put the cat in box and
! cared for it, and in about two or three days
it began to get around and it's eyes com
menced to have their natural look. In about
| a week it came to the room of the foreman
J. D. Eager, branch of the forge depart
| ment. Mr. Eager fed it and commenced tc
train it. The animal reciprocates the kind
ness shown, remaining about the forge all the
time and evincing quite an interest in the
| business, and is quite a pet among the work
men. The above is fact

A TALE OF A SHIRT.

Apropos OF General Sherman's visit
to Denver. a story is.teM of the Gener-
ais experience with Henry Clay Dean.
The two had been friends for years, aud
when Sherman became General, and
Dean happened to be in Washington,
the latter, naturally enough, felt de-
sire to- renew the old acquaintance.
So he called at Sherman's house and
the General received him with open
arms. They talked over old times, but
nothing would do but Dean must stay
TO dinner. "But, General" remonS
trated Mrs. Sherman, to her husbands
ear, Il can't have such dirty looking
man at my table; can't you spruce him
up little." The General said he'd tx
that, and at an opportune moment be
hustled Mr.. Dean up stairs, ransaeked
a bureau, and produced clean shirt
sor him to put on. Mrs. Sherman was
mollifed, and the dinner really was a
charming affair, for there is no more
delightful entertaining and instructive
conversationalists than Henry Clay
Dean. One year after this event, Gen.
eral Sherman was at the Lindell Hoteb
st. Louis, with his family. A card was
brought up bearing Henry Clay Deans
name Mrs. Sherman was very much
pleased. "He is such a charming talk,
er. we must have him to dinner. Only
yon must see that he looks presentable.' =
These were lnadam's words to the war
rior. So Sherman welcomed Dean, and
just before going to dinner shipped him
into side room aud gave him shirt
10 wear. Dean dotted his coat and
vest. and, after brief struggle, dives
ted himself of the shirt he had on a
soilsd. grirny. black thing that looked
az II II had seen long and hard service.
then they all went down to dinner, and
Mr.. Dean was more charming than
ever, aud Mrs. Sherman was in costa
cies. The next day. as Mrs. Sherman
was getting her husbands duds and
clothes together, preparatory to pack
ing them for the onward march, she
gave sort of wild, hunted scream
What is it, my dear:" called the Cen
eral from the next room. ''lust come
in here for minute" replied Mrs.
Sherman, between faint gasps The
General went in. There stood Mrs.
Sherman. holding in her left handlthe
beyrimmed shirt Henry Clay Dean had
left. With hsr righ. hand she pointed
10 certain initials ON the lower edge OF
the bosom. The initials read, "W.tT.
s." 1t was the identical shirt General
Sherman bad loaned Henry Clay Dean
iu Washington twelve months before.

Bain is well known in the West, but this is his first visit to New England. He is brilliant specimen of the Kentucky orator, having all the fire and impetuosity of southern blood, controlled by cultured and well balanced mind. His lectures are unre- portable. He abuses no one. He convinces his hearers by his logic while he captivates with his eloquence. His humor is irresisti- b1e and he carries an audience from lau ghter to tears at his will. He is called today the most remarkable speaker upon the temper ance platform. Mir. Bain is Christian gen. tleman and practices all the virtues he breaches. An hour spent with him is by no means an hour wasted.

While Crossing the Track.

CoIored Man Instantly E<iIled-His Horse Killed and Wagon Wrecked The Jury's Finding. As Charles Johnson, a colored man thirty eight years old, living at 49O Oak street, was driving across the Webster street crossing of the Canal railroad yesterday morning at o'clock, the team was struck by the train due here at about 92O and the horse was killed, the wagon wrecked and the unfortunate man was killed outright He was thrown up in the air some distance and came down near the crossing His head was terribly mashed, the skull being crushed in and the brains spattered over the remains of the wagon. The horse was carried about two hundred feet by the locomotive until the train stopped Deceased owned team and worked most of the time for the city in moving ashes and rubbish. Yesterday he borrowed a long wagon from Pat lumber, and pitched his own horse to it, and these were the team he had when killed. The crossing is a dangerous one. A petition to have it bridged has been before the Council, but was not acted upon, as there was some doubt if the street was legal high way. jury of inquest inquired into the case. Witnesses before it were Fireman Daniel Graham, the conductor, MT. Chand Ter, the engineer, MT. Van Vechten, Mrs Patrick Meaney, William McGrath, William Carr. After hearing them the jury ad- iourned to visit the scene of the accident. The jury decided that the whistle was blown by the engineer and that Johnson heard it and tried to get across the track ahead of the train and that it was not possi- ble for the engineer to have seen the man in time owing to the situation of the crossing, as intervening buildings shut it from view till a train was close upon it. The train was going faster than usual, being behind time.
 The jury drew up the following address to the Committee on Roads and Bridges:
 To the Committee on Roads and Bridges:
 the death to-day of Charles Johnson at the Webster street crossing most respectfully call your attention to the very dangerous crossings at Webster, Monson Argyle, Division and other streets the line of the Northampton railroad. We consider that these the most necessary points which your committee should immediately take action on, and thereby by proper action prevent accidents of the nature of the above. J. W.

 For nearly two generations he of the lead ing men of this place-loved and honored where he lived, and distinguished abroad.
 He was ready to give encouragement and aid to whatever was likely to promote the welfare of New Haven, and in every emergency demanding weighty counsel his advice sought upon occasions of pub lie rejoicing.

Miss Cummings could have nothing whatever to do with the theater. If she opens in "Our Boys" Saturday evening she will, MT. Near says, have to build 8 theater, for she cannot get into the New Haven Opera House. She can claim nothing under the lease, for the provisions have been broken. Even though she pay the partnership bills she cannot take possession except at the end of lawsuit and probably not then. The keys were surren- dered by one of the tirnl-Mr. Near-and Dr. Skif therefore, the possession. He was | asked for the key to the office in order that Miss Cummings could get something there, but refused to let her have it, saying: Anyone representing her can enter the house, but she cannot" Mir Near further stated that Saturday Miss Cummings agent tried to get Dr. Skiff to receipt for the baggage that remains attached at the Elliott House. The agent received 8 telegram from her saying she had sent check to Dr. Skiff for $500 and telling him to have the property released. The doctor said he had received no check. The agent called again, having received another telegram, but the doctor, having received no check, again refused to act. 'Do look like a man that can be gulled ?'' he asked. MT. Near further said that he was making preparations to open the house, having ample money with which to do it.
 Dr. Skiff last evening said matters were in statu quG, that nothingg> new had transpired, and that there was nothing yet in shape for l publication.
