From Yesterdays New York Herald
The British ship Glenmorsg. of Glasgow,
arrived in this port yesterday bringing the
startling news of the terrible disaster and
thirteen persons on board, ell who were left
of thirty-three passengers and crew of the
steamer Bahama 1t appears from the mar

bound for New York, under command of
Captain f. Field Astwood, and with conn.,
plement of twenty nine men and four passen-
gers. All went well until the night of Thurs
day, the 9th inst, when a southwest gale
sprang up. The ship, it appears, did not
respond to the helm, fell into the trough of
the sea and shipped many seas through the

and the steamer became entirely unmanagea-

Joseph E. SHEFFIELD

JOSEPH E. SHEFFIELD.
When a man like Joseph E. Sheffield dies,
there is cause for sincere and widespread
mourning; but this mourning is tempered
by the consideration of his long and useful
life, life rich in service of his fellow men,
and notable for grand and effective efforts in
the various fields in which he worked.
Mr.. Shefield's career has been remarka-
bic one, even for this country, where remark
a5le careers are more common than in some
other lands. Born in 1898, he has seen this
nation grow from feebleness to strength, and
has himself contributed not a little to its
growth. His great energy, business sagaeity
and general good judgment became appar-
ent very early in his life, and he became a
power in business while still young. He has
been connected with great enterprises in all
sections of the country He was one of the
first to see the great benefits of railroads,
and among the lines in the originating of
which he took the principal or prominent
part are the New York and New Haven, the
New Haven and Northampton and the Chi
cago and Rock Island.
Gifted as Mr. Sheffield was, it was almost
inevitable that lie should accumulate much
wealth. This he did, but the manner in
which he used it showed that it was in fit
hands. Quietly but with great liberality, he
gave of his means to promote the Gauss of
education and of religion. Yale College. the
Trinity Parish School and Home and the
Young Mems Institute in this city, the Berke-
ly Divinity School in Middletown, Trinity
College in. Hartford, and the Theological
Seminary of the Northwest at Chicago are
among the institutions that have benefited by
his bounty.
His noblest and most enduring monument
will be the Sheffield Scientific School, an in
stitution which has already done great
work and which is constantly growing in USE
fulness and power. What he has done for
this school is alone sufficient to entitle him
to the grateful remembrance of an apprecia-
tive posterity.
He has fought good fight and kept the
faith. 1t is pleasant to think that his end
was peace and that those he most loved were
with him in his last hours

The Providence Journal thinks that the
fight in this State over the proposed bridge
at New London is the old story over again .
Progress, enterprise, improvement, the pub
lie good on one side inertia, local prejudice
ignorance, fogyism on the other" 10
cal legislation" continues the Journal "does
not naturally look beyond the immediate in
terests of its constituents. To comprehend
and properly value the more remote but
grander benefits which result from universal
amelioration and prosperity requires a
broader craftsmanship and a more philosoph-
ic vision than is the common allotment and
Interstate comfy is a minor consideration
in legislative councils. New Jersey, few
years ago, achieved a most unenviable dis
tinction by reason of its selfish resistance to
the fair demands of the general interest.
We recall no other instance where there has
been so prolonged contest between the pro-
gressiye spirit of the times and local selfish
ness, or better exemplifcation of the sue
cess which Is contemporaneous defeat. But
New Jersey was forced to abandon its claim
to be the toll gate of the nation, and take
her place and share with the country at
large. That it was well for her that she was
obliged to make the submission, who that
was familiar with the backward condition of
the State at the time of the Camden and Am
boy monopoly, and has had the opportunity
to contrast with it the present activity within
its borders, can doubt?''
The Journal does not think that the peo-
pie of New London and Norwich who are
opposed to the bridge care much for the ne,
cessities of the rest of New England, is sur
prised that there should be any opposition in
New London, especially when the proposed
point of crossing is SO far up the stream as
to leave its capacious harbor uninjured. "As
it is for the interest of New London" says
the Journal, ''to attract travel rather than
repel it, we are compelled to give credence
to the rumor that the opposition in New Lon
don is not genuine one, but a movement
cunningly excited and engineered by a rival
line. We think it probable that the efforts
of competing companies will delay the pro
ject for time, but sometime the bridge will
be built, and nobody will regret it."
AS things go in this world the Journal asks
too much when it asks the people of New
London and vicinity to take much interest in
what will benefit Rhode Island and Massa
chusetts, but its argument is, nevertheless,
good. The bridge is needed and will proba'
bly, eventually be built, and when it is bull:
it will not be the serious injury to ''the navy
yardn that its opponents are sayingit will be.

The anti-burglar bill which has passed
both houses of the Legislature makes the
maximum sentence for simple burglary ten
years in the State prison. Where deadly
weapons are found in the possession of the
burglar the punishment for the first offense
is not less than seven nor more than fifteen
years imprisonment, and for second conVic-
ton from ten to twenty years. When this
goes into operation it ought to decrease the
number of burglaries in this State.

Those who like to fish through the ice will
be pleased with recent decision of the Su-
preme Court of Massachusetts, in favor of
man who was sued by icemen for trespass
because he went upon pond and cut holes
through the ice for the purpose of fishing.
The snow had been removed in preparation
for gathering the ice crop, but at the time of
the alleged trespass the icemen were not at
work. The opinion of Chief Justice Gray,
now Of the United States Supreme Court, de-
clares that though the plaintiffs had leased
house and land on the shores of the pond,
they had no peculiar right or title to the
body of water and since the defendant was

HECK ER,S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal & Courier.
S1r:-The contract for supplying
the United States government with
seventy-five thousand (75, OOO) lbs.
of Baking Powder during the en-
suing year has been awarded to
Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder
it having been tested by DIR. Ed
ward G. Love, analytical chemist
for the government, and recon-
mended by him for its excellence
and because it contained a higher
percentage of gas (Which means it
Will make lighter bread and bis
cuit) than either the "Royal'' OF
the other cream tartar baking
powders which he examined. The
samples analysed by DR.. Love were
furnished by the government COM
missioners, and were without the
manufacturers label or name,
and designated with a number
known only to the commissioners.
twill thus be seen that when
Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder
s submitted to an impartial test
its superiority is acknowledged.
and the popular verdict so emphat-
ically expressed in it's favor is fully
