Hartford brakeman named Barry had an arm terribly crushed at Hartford, Wednes- day, while coupling cars. He came to this city with the wounded member wrapped in waste and walked to Dr. F. H. Whittemores office, where he was only temporarily treated. He said he preferred to die rather than lose his arm, but owing to the character of it's injuries it is supposed to be well nigh impos- sible to save it. He returned to his home.

Getting Too Much Americanized - The
 Chinese Students.


 The impression as to why the Chinese stu dents were recalled is confirmed by the Shanghai correspondent of the London Tunes, who says: 'It appears the Chinese government got alarmed at reports which said that the young men were getting Ameri- canized little too rapidly, and sent out a special commissioner, Woo Ohiachen, to ex- anime into the matter. Woo's report, which was indorsed by the resident Chinese minis ter, Chen Lanpen, Edeclared that although the boys have not yet learned all the useful arts and sciences, they have already adopted all the bad castoms, and concluded that if they stayed longer they would be of more harm than advantage to the Chinese govern ment Acting on this information, the recall was decided upon. So far as can be gathered from the American papers, the charge is quite unfounded. The conduct of the young men seems to have been entirely satisfactory to their masters and friends, and the sudden interruption to their studies is deplored, not only for their own sakes, but in the best in- terests of their country"

The New Plan for Reaching the North
 Pole.
 Mir. Edgar T. Wilson, representing Con- mander John P. Cheyne, R. N. and F. R. G. S., arrived in Boston from Canada late Sat- urday night. MT. Wilson comes to endeav- or to arrange for lecture by Commander Cheyne in this city. It is proposed to intro duce this gallant Arctic officer to Boston audience at Music Hall on or about Feb. l. Commander Cheyne proposes to "balloon 1t" to the North Pole and there, in company with Lieut. Schwatka, U. s. A., commander of the last American search expedition for Sir John Franklin, plant the American and English flags side by side. His plan is at once ingenious and daring, and the features of the projectors scheme have an attraction not only for geographers but for meteorolo- gists and those scientists who delight in Arc tic discovery.-B0st0n Post.
 Commander Cheyne will lecture at Peck's Grand Opera House in this city on the 9Oth and 31st. The lectures will be illustrated by lime light pictures thrown upon canvas.

The Extension of East Grand Street, Fair
 Hayan.

This extension is not @ new idea, but was proposed ten years ago, and the layout was made accordingly and accepted by the town of East Haven. It incluoss the continuation of East Grand street over Church Hill, across the Shore Line railroad and beyond Fair Haven Heights to the boundary of what is now known as the s'Annex." All this has long been in actual use and a number of houses have been built on this street, some of them costing many thousands of dollars. The only exception is the portion between Center and Prospect streets,-a single square,-where it is necessary for teams to pass around by another way, at no small in- convenience. This small portion of a street reaching at least third of mile beyond, it is now the wish of those concerned to have opened in 8 satisfactory manner, with due regard to all the interests involved.
 Nobody doubts that the street ought to be thus opened, the only point in dispute being whether the track of the Shore Line railroad should be crossed by 8 bridge or at grade. When the street was laid out the express un- derstanding was that the crossing should be at grade, and this is the decided preference of all those living along the line of the ex- G6QSlOn. IuOS6 WHO GdlR uO SO Ou the general principle that every street -cross- ing should be bridged if practicable. But here it is not practicable on account of the steep pitch it would give the most important east-and-west street in the Annex, making it difficult for any but the lghtest teams to use it, and compelling all heavy carriages and wagons to cross, as now, by going around, thus defeating the very object for which 8 bridge would be built That is to say, the bridge would not diminish the risk of the crossing, but would practically in crease it by obstructing the view of the track from Center street, besides doing serious in
 jury to excellent property centrally located.
 The easy solution of the problem, and one greatly to the interest of all concerned, is for the Shore Line railroad, with that high regard for the public convenience by which it has ever been distinguished, to locate @ passenger depot at the corner of Center street and the extension of East Grand. This done, all trains except express trains would stop there and there would be due precautions taken for the safety of the cross ing. Even as matters now stand, consider ing the increasing amount of travel by the Center street crossing, there ought to be fagman stationed there, and if bridge should be built a fagman for Center street will be an absolute necessity.

Death of an Aged Lady.

Mrs. Lucretia Bacon, daughter of Epaph- roditus Champion of East Haddam, and wife of Asa Bacon of Litchfeld, Conn, died yesterday morning at the residence of her granddaughter, Mrs. Thomas R. Trowbridge, jr., on Grown street. Mrs. Bacon was born February IT, 1783, thus being in her 99th year at the time of her death She passed her married life of 50 years in Litchfeld, where her children were born, who lived to be men of marked promise and who had al- ready begun to be known in public life, but she survived them all. She may be said to have been the last of her race certainly of her own generation. Her life covered al-' most the life of the republic, and she had vivid recollection of many interesting histor- ical events and persons She had the strong memory and strong mind, with the good solid education of the ladies of her day. A shrewd wit, sound sense, kind and loving heart, and a humble but firm Christian faith, made her prolonged old age most happy one to herself and her friends.

The Smallpox.

Vaccination Talk-Board of Health.
 The Board of Health at special meeting held yesterday afternoon, the Mayor presid- ing, considered the subject of public free vaccination for the public school pupils. MT. Welch spoke of the remarks on the subject made at the last meeting of the Board of Ed ucation, which favored vaccinating all new pupils who were not vaccinated at the last general free vaccination. resolution was read by the clerk as follows:
 Voted, That the Honorable Court of Com mon Council be respectfully requested to ap- propriate to this Board sum of money, not to exceed $1, 800, for the purpose of free vaccination of the town of New Haven.
 This was acted upon favorably after con siderable discussion and the presentation of facts byDr. Lindsley, the health officer. The Common Council cannot act upon it until February, as there probably will be no meet ings until then. It is probable that if the money is appropriated the same plan pursued at the last free vaccination-visitations to the | public schools-will be adopted. The subject of vaccination was talked over, 1 and the view taken that to get vaccinated was 1 the best plan to avoid smallpox.
 A second case has appeared in Fair Haven. | The new one is John Leaden, unmarried, 25 years of age, living with his mother at 45 i East Chapel street. He worked at the roll ing mill, where Hogan, the other victim, iE employed, and who went home sick last Fri l day. His condition is not bad and he vii not be removed. The only other person 1T the house besides his mother is an old lady named Leaden, who has had the smallpox No flag has been displayed and none will be unless the rules of the health authorities are 1 violated.
 Mir. Ely, who is sick at the town hospita with smallpox, is very ill, but is expected to recover. The hospital has four goot rooms in the second story and man and hi wife live in the house and are not allowed tc mingle with the outside world so long as the. are attending the sick.
