The telephone grows in popularity as a medium for ordering goods. One dealer got an order filled from Norwich in two hours after sending, and another on order sent to New Haven at II a. m. got pies yet warm from baking at p. m. When you send by telephone you have the satis- faction of knowing that your order is re- ceived and understood, or else you don't have to pay.

 One of the largest henneries ever built in this town has been put up ln the grove on the Woodlawn farm.

 The fourth was very quiet in the viii lage, the fair ground festivities drawing the crowd and giving the village a season of delicious dullnes. But Tuesday night was particularly noisy, and most diabolica] were the noises, too, including every de- gree of pop, bang, screech and squawkine whistle until midnight, when, like grate ful poultice to heal these blows of discord ant sound, came the notes of the Citizens Band, which gave serenades at two or three points in the village. The band never played better, and nothing could have been more soothing to the tired, tossing sleepless ones, almost crazed by the cease less din of those whose onl ly patriotism hac been their prompting to take advantage O the license that the fourth gave to be as lawless and offensive as they chose to be- The effect on the turbulent element also seemed to be good, as comparative quie reigned from this time until near morning There was some little intoxication on the fourth. but fewer very bad cases than usu al. At the fair grounds large attendance all day. The ball game in the morning resulted in an easy victory of the Stafords over the Rockvilles-20 to 6. The Mon son club did not fill their engagement, anc the Rockvilles came instead. They were at 8 disadvantage, having some players who, though good, were much out of prac tice ard discouraged by bad beginning O the game The shower and intense sultri ness kept many away from the hall enter tainment in the evening, but a fair audi ence gathered, and had good entertain ment, closing with a dance.
 Owing to last evenings shower the dance at Carpenters grove, Staffordville was postponed until Friday evening Avery, prompter. ,.

MONDAY was day of electrical disturb ance, the air being overcharged with elec- tricity, the telegraph and telephone wires giving unusual evidence of this Toward evening came a shower, accompanied by high wind. It was severest at Hartford, and did much damage to the towns along the river and sound. A lively tornado swept through Williamstown valley, Mass. about 4 p. m,, wrecking the new college gymnasium. The loss to the college is about $6,OOO. Many barns and trees were blown down throughout the town. The rain fell in torrents through the Naug- atuck valley and trees were torn up by the roots. Windows in Waterbury were broken by hail-stones. At least 75 trees were prostrated at Middletown, and one house was unroofed and partly destroyed The wing of the insane asylum was struck by lightning and slightly. damaged. A smoke-stack was blown out of ferry boat and one boy drowned. The storm was equally severe in New Haven. It struck New York city at about D. m., and the wind swept through the streets with such violence that walking became almost inn possible, while clouds of dust filled the air so thickly that it became difficult to see even 50 feet ahead Several trees and large number of signs were blown down. The front wall of Harry Miners new thea ter, in course of construction on the Bow cry, was blown down. Fortunately it fell inward and no one was hurt. Two men driving in a brewery wagon at Blissville, l.. l., were so thoroughly enveloped in the dust which the wind blew up that they failed to notice 8 railroad crossing and were killed by train. A sail boat was overturned just out of New London har- Dor, and Mrs. Carleton of Bushy Point drowned.

Ellicott, who wanted less public squares and
less diagonal avenues. Tho president would
not consent TO change BEnfants plan, aud FL
lcott's alterations were rejected. IL Is claimed
by LEnfants adherents that Ellicott had
his name put on the plate when he employed
artists 60 engravo L'Enfant's map aud that
is how tho 1702 map Is called by his name.
Ellicott also wanted tho capitol site removed
coo or 700 feet further east than in L'Eninnts
plan, but tho president would not allow the
change.
Ellicott was elected surveyor April 9, 1893,
and resigned tho following July. These
three months were all that he had charge of
the work Previous to tho first date he was
only an assistant under Maj. Robcdau The
map actually made by Ellicott from l. 'Enianps
plan is largo working map. without the
name Of the city upon IT. II is now in the
possession of the government.
There was not, up to l70O at least, any
recognized official map of the city designating
government property from that of the orig
inal propriotors, as appears from protest
mado by the original proprietors against
deciding the streets and public squares to the
city until such map was made. 1t is possible
that thoy mover did mako formal deed
of the grounds.
1t is probable that I'Enfant, being offended
at the treatment given him, would not accept
tho compensation offered him when he was
discharged. In 1900, however, when he be-
came poor, he presented n memorial to the
senate, recounting his services and asking
rccompense. He was awarded 500 guineas
and n LOT.

SENATOR suERMAN,s VIEWS.
The Result Attributable Wholly to tn
Temperance Question.


MANSFIELD, ONO, Oct. 10.-The Mansfield
Herald publishes the following interview with
Senator Sherman; From returns received 80
for, l am prepared to say that the democratic
ticket is elected. | attribute our defeat to
complications growing out of the temperance
question one month ago upon the basis Of tho
Scott law. l had no doubt of tho election of
Judge Foraker, but it is manifest that tho
attention of republicans was turned more
and more to the contest on the second amend
ment, and upon that question VIC lost all the
German vote and large conservative vote
that was not satisfied that prohibition was
advisable in Ohio. / know no other reason
for our defeat, and have entire confidence
that on general political issues the state is
thoroughly republican. The contest on tho
temperance question was unavoidable, and we
had the misfortune to lose tho whole of tho
German republican vote, while not a single
democrat voted tho republican ticket in con-
sequence of our temperance measures. Many
thousand democrats no doubt, voted for the
second amendment who yet voted for the
straight democratic ticket. If, rs | suppose,
the democrats have carried the legislature,
they will have the burden of the temperance
question, and If they fail to meet the advanc-
ing state of public opinion in Ohio on that
question, they will bo defeated as we have
been. do not think that our defeat will
have any effect on the republican party of the
country.D
