Death of q Young Lady.

Miss Flora A. Fernald, daughter of Rev.
o. H. FernaId, of Portland, Conn, died sud
denly on Monday last of diphtheria She
was member of the sophomore class, Wes'
leyan University. The Constitution says that
her death took the entire college by surprise
and filled every heart with sadness. No death
has occurred in the college community since
that of Mr.. Avery in January, 1879, and the
freedom from severe illness in the university
has been especially marked.

Affairs at the Capitol

The Defeat of the Parallel RAILROAD
Project-Seventeen to Seven-The Horse
Railroad Matter--The NorthrOp Inves-
tigation.
HARTFORD, April 5. 1882.
Especial Correspondence of JOURNAL AND CoUR1ER.]
The Senate after long debate defeated the
Parallel road petition by vote of II to Z.
The majority report was accepted and the
petitioners given leave to withdraw. The
details will be found in another column.
The result was awaited with no little interest,
as may be imagined, after the protraoted war
fare on the subject, and it was the absorbing
topic of the hour.
The Committee ON Cities and Boroughs
heard the railroads side of the argument on
the petition for reduction of fares on the Fair
Haven and Westville horse railroad. The
only witness examined was President Wat
| rous, who, with Hobart L. Hotchkiss, kept
up running fire upon the details of the
management of the road. Colonel Wright,
as counsel of the company, finally made the
proposition that the company would sell one
| ticket for five cents at the company's office !;
would sell five tickets for twenty five cents
| upon the cars would carry passengers from
| Westville to East street for five cents from
| to a. m. and to p. NJ, putting on cars
enough to supply the demands, and to keep
record of the receipts of the company.
Should these receipts allow the company to
| pay dividend of per cent. next year, it
| would accede to the demands of the petit
| TONERS.
| In private session the committee consid-
cred these propositions fair and voted to re-
port i'll accordance with them.
The Northrop investigation dragged its
length along before the special committee
| this afternoon. There was nothing OF
especial Importance Edrawn out. Mr.. Gross,
| of the firm of Brown & Gross,
was the first witness He vindicated
himself from the charge of assisting in the
free advertising scheme of Secretary Nor
throp.
John G.: Baird, the clerk of the office, was
next called, and gave an account of the
transaction with Mr.. Case concerning the
maps. He saw harm in it, but admitted
that it was not just right to conceal it from
Mr.. Northrop.
The hearing will probably close tomorrow
afternoon, to which time it was adjourned.

Il is a very striking illustration OF the ira
ditional forms Of Eastern warfare that the
living bulletin in which Arab Pasha an
nounced to his followers the destruction or
capture Of the whole English feet in the
recent action before Alexandria is an al
most literal copy Of that with which Mana
Sahib, in July, 1857, endeavored to sustain
the failing courage of his sepoys when the
news of Havelock's advance upon Gavin
pore to svenge the massacre began to spread
among them. "The Queen of the English -
wrote the Arab Pashs of the Gauges, gath
cred mighty host to fight against US. and
put her soldiers upon MANY shiDs, and sent
them as far as Egypt But the Padishah
(Sultan) heard OF their coming and he sent
and babe the Pasha of Egypt to destroy
them all. Then the Pasha OF Egypt gath
cred his ships OF war and poured the thun-
der of his cannon upon the feet Of the IN
believers till all their vessels were taken or
destroyed and the yellow faced English
were sunk to the bottom of the sea-" Arab
has indeed improved upon his original by
proclaiming his intention of bringing the
captured ironclsds up country to Cairo (g.
But If the recent murders at Cairo and else
where, and the alleged crushing Of helpless
men under the wheels of trains are truly
reported, 1t must be owned that the Egyp-

"Mv Dear Hubbell's" corruption fund
without wry face. 1t declares that the
money goes to ''the shysters and camp
followers of the party" and says: owe
happen to know that 5000 of the last
assessment found its way into city
district, and was spent for dubious pur-
poses among pot-house politicians,
though it was afterwards evident that
the district would have been Republican
by large majority without the expendi-
ture of single cent. The money is gen
orally used to promote the personal in
terests of congressman, but does not
help the party as whole. 1t is ex-
pended in concentrating corrupt bar
gains and trades that ought never to be
made. and sacrifices local or legislative
candidate for the benefit of the Congress
sional ticket. These things ought not so
TO be. The political assessments have
done and are doing the party infinitely
more damage by the scandal they have
caused than they will do it good by the
votes the money so raised will buy or
influence"
