The Mystery Regarding the Man Fro;
 to Death probaklv Solved

The Mystery Regarding the Man Frozen
 to Death Probably Solved.
 The body of the man reported in the COURIER yesterday morning as found frozen to death in Long Island Sound, floating in a sailboat, still remains at the morgue no one calling to claim the remains Investigations yesterday rendered the following facts: J. Francis Homan of this city, is partner of Francis Bacon, of City Island, which is in New York State about sixty miles from this city. Late Tuesday afternoon two strangers were seen on City Island, walking along the shore near where Francis Bacon's boat was moc.ed That midnight the boat was missed It had been moored near Bacon's house, and it was bright moonlight night, so that the risk incurred was considerable in the theft. Mir. Homan came here yesterday looking for the boat, while MT. Bacon went to New Jersey to look for it. Mir. Homan heard from friend here that the boat had been found, and went ] down to Long Wharf and identified it.
 A Hartford paper referring to the matter says: The envelope with the printed address of John c. Taylor upon it tells a story of it's own. MT. Taylor is the secretary of the Prison Aid association, and it is part of his business to look after discharged prisoners to the extent of getting them to their homes or to unu TOT tnen employment where they can make their own way in the world To each man Mir. Taylor gives one or mora of the envelopes alluded to above, addressed to himself, so that the discharged prisoner may be able to report his situation or condition from time to time. The envelope shows that the man found frozen was formerly a prisoner at Wethersfeld and it is probable he was only recently discharged. MT. Taylor says that the name of the deceas- ed is Noah Chapman, and that he was dis charged from prison on Saturday last His prospects for the future were much better than most of those who go out. His rela- tives are respected people, and his brother, Captain Chapman, had written to him, assur- ing him of mate's position when his term expired, and he was to go to New London to meet him. MT. Taylor furnished him with a ticket to that place, and gave him money l enough for weeks board. The rest is at present a mystery
 1 The coroner did not deem an inquest nec- 1 essary, but ordered the body kept in the morgue yesterday and to-day, in the hope that friends might come and identify it. Should they not come to-day the town will I probably take charge of and bury the re- mains

A Sv itch Signal.

The New York, New Haven and Hartford road who have had one of A. H. Bakers patent automatic switch signals on trial for the past six months near the Sigourney street crossing, Hartford, have commenced laying Q new one connecting with the series of switches near the Asylum street crossing, and the danger signal forty rods or so down the road near the railroad. shops: The system is attached to the switches and by connect ing rods turns the signal every time switch is opened or shut. When opened the danger signal is displayed and wien closed the safety signal so that an engineer, when approach ing series of switches, can instantly tell whether the way is clear for him or not. The system is automatic, and has worked with complete success at the Sigourney street crossing Mir. Baker has nearly finished one of his systems on the Valley road near the workshops. where the serious accident oc- cured by an open switch year and a half ago. He was formerly clerk at the United States Hotel and completed his invention some time ago. Hiwtf0r1 Post.

The Cnld Waathar

Yennor calculated the cold spell would last four days If correct it must be about over. The boys were out skating yesterday on the ponds in and about the city. Whitney Lake has ice six or eight inches thick, not enough for safety. The weather last evening at nine o'clock was 16 above, warmer than the same hour the previous evening. A thin layer of ice covers the inner portions of the harbor from the shores to the channel, but the chan nel is wholly clear.
 Mir. Horace Johnson, who claims the dis tinction of being the first man to cross the Connecticut on the ice every winter, per- formed that feat successfully, but not wholly without danger, yesterday morning, January 5, 1882 He crossed from Middle Haddam to Maromas station, and reports that the ice was just strong enough to bear him, if he picked his way carefully. Last winter Mr. Johnson crossed on the ice November 24. Tha., he thinks, was the earliest feat of the Ilnd on record.
 Ti2s steamer State of New York came near being caught in the ice Wednesday, but was able to break passage through and crossed the bar at Say brook about 9 o'clock Only a few vessels were in the river at any point, and they will probably have to remain where they are until the opening of navigation in the spring. ..
