 Large and Pleasant Party From Hart

 ton for Willie Johnson.
 Yesterday was one of the most delightful days of the season for excursion parties and probably none of the many that were on the water had more enjoyable time than those who went on the John Fl. Starin to Glen Island. A party of about 35 Knights of Honor came.down from Hartford with their friends and they were met by representatives of Knights of Honor of this city and escorted to the boat The New Haven party num- bered about 15O. There were also on board a party of Good Samaritans from this city numbering 200. Many others not connected with either order went from the city. The sail down the Sound and back was very pleasant. Thomas orchestra furnished music for dancing, there was singing by la dies and gentlemen and little Will lie Johnson sang several of his songs. generous collection was taken for the little fellow, who was accompanied on the excursion by his mother. The boat reached the island about o'clock, and there was at once general stampede for the fla nous Glen Island clambake dinners. After dinner the part strolled about enjoying the various attractions at the island The con cert by Graffula's band was pronounced by all to be unusually fine. Among those on the excursion were: Comptroller Sloat, Editor Benton of the Palladium. Alderman Town send, N. A. Fullerton, L. D. Chidsey, Judge Studley, Col John G. Healey, Julius Tyler, T. c. Pratt, Carlos Smith, Warner Lee. M N. Bassett, J. H. Jones, from New Haven :: and c. A. Emmons, George Reed, Alderman Faxon, Councilman Williams, John Sloan and Isaac Coe, of Hartford

New Article August "A.

In making our promised appeal to Anatomy and the force that impels the functional operations of animal life, we will not weary our reader with too to illustrate our purpose, viz: The effort to deter
 ne in the first place, the indispensable agency of native ce-force acting through it's messengers, the nerves by which that force is conveyed and in the second. to try and convince our perhaps skeptical and doubling reader of the identity of cell force with the vital force of Hahnemann, and that both one and the same with that force which is called magnetic. In other words, to endeAvor to prove that the native cell and nerve force of the h
 man organism is essentially and absolutely magnetic tant of a that when native cell and nerve force is Enodihed and Impaired by disease, the application of the instrament for the restorstion of that cen and nerve force which has been impaired and lost "Ged breathed into man the breath of life" and thereby gave to the duty of breathing. By the function of respiration those blood changes continually in

 claFing that we breathe because we always con- breath. True, but whence comes the necessity, and fore ansWerine this qussson let us here make our ap peal te Anatomy and Physiology. Closely associated portions of the bran and its proIongation the Me dulla Oblongata, there arise certain nerves whose those ergans the heart and lungs the play of whose functions must go on uninterruptely while the lamp of life burns, be extinguished in the darkness of death. These nerves, in the language of anatomy, are ealled respectively the spinal ac- cessory phrenic and others of the spinal nerves For the present will leave out of consideration the great sympathetic, whose mysterious power we win eHdeav0R to analy1e later on.

FunernIofThoma.ECannoD

It was a deeply sorrowing throng that
 gathered yesterday morning at No. II Madi-
 son avenue, New York, to pay the last earthly
 honors to their departed friend and relative,
 Mir. Thomas F. Cannon. His death which occurred on Saturday, was wholly unexpect-
 ed, and it came with shocking suddenness to
 his friends and family in New Haven, the
 home of his birth and his happy boyhood,
 where he imbibed those lessons of business
 tact and experience that brought him success
 in a larger sphere in the metropolis. Only
 four short weeks ago he was in this city in
 the apparent enjoyment of health, and it
 seemed that he possessed even more than
 usual his wonted buoyant spirits. But the
 heavy hand of death was laid upon
 him and he went back to take the bed from which he never more should rise. Par aIysis of the brain followed an attack of hemorrhage and gastric fever and his life
 went out in the struggle with the deadly
 disease. At the late residence in Madison
 avenue esterday morning Rev. Father Col ton of St. Stephens church performed the
 last offices of religion aud rendered consola- tion to the stricken family who were gather ed about the remains. The body lay encased in 8 rich black broadcl0th casket, trimmed with heavy silver mountings and loaded down beneath a burden of choice floral trib- utes, the face wearing placid and peaceful expression as though the sleeper had passed calmly and contentedly away into the lasting embrace of death. Among those who stood sbout the bier weeping in sadness were the mother, two brothers and five sisters of the de- ceased, with MT. Peter Oarberry, a brother. in law, Mir. Frank Keenan and others from this city. After the services the remains were escorted to the Grand Central depot and l placed aboard the train for Albany. vhere the interment took place in the aftsrnoon The pail bearers were Messrs. M. 0. Bomeia. Ier, the partner of the deceased, W. E. Smith P. Schrader of New York, and Mr. M. b, RyEns pf NsK Haven.

ACCIDENT TO A LITTLE GIRL.
Accidental Death.

Mrs. Laura Main. of Wooster Street, Falls
 at Her House and Dies From su1foca-
 tIOn.
 Early yesterday morning Mrs. Laura Main, keeper of the Oakland house at 209 Wooster street, died at her house from suffocation re. sulting from fall down flight of seven or eight steps which lead to the cellar of her house. She was found about o'clock at the foot of the stairs. Medical Examiner White was summoned. He could find no broken bones, although the left ankle was out of joint. She had probably, as was her custom after shutting up, lain down on the lounge in her sitting room which is in the rear of the bar room, and gone while half asleep to the cellar door by mistake, opened the door and fallen down to the bottom where she Iav senseless. She being woman weighing per haps 200 pounds, 8 sudden fall of that kind would have instantly stunned her, and suffo- cation followed.
 Mrs. Main was widow and fortv-eieht years of age Her husband was Abraham B. Main, who some six or eight years ago work ed for Wales o. Hotchkiss, just across from the Oakland House. One hot night Main got up to open window in his room in the rear of the house and accidentally fell out. breaking his neck. He was a brother to Town Clerk Elias Main, of West Haven, and was quite well knows in New Haven, having been for years bartender. The deceased was also 8. sister to Mary Knowlton, who keeps saloon on the opposite side of Woes ter street She rented the Oakland House shortly after her husbands death She kept barroom and took in boarders. The only other occupant of the house Monday night was John Ives, lodger. Yesterday morn ing Ives opened the saloon and shortly after George Langdon, 8 brother-in-law of Mrs. Main, who lives in the rear of her house, came over to see her. Nothing could be found of her. After making inquiries he searched the Oakland house thoroughly and found the dead body of the woman lying doubled up at the foot of the stairs. She had evidently not moved from where she fell. No inquest will be held. The deceased left no children, nor was she possessed of much property.

when, in his opinion, small vessels ought not to run any risk. He followed in the wake of the yacht as far as GooseberrY Neck, but could sec nothing of them beyond, and came to the conclusion that they had either sought shelter in Cuddyhunk or gone into the inlet called Slocum's river. It must have been be- tween the time that Captain Hendrick last saw the yacht, near the Hen and Chickens. and his reaching Gooseberry Neck, that the yacht was overturned and sunk under the waves; and this was about half past 10 or Il o'clock Sunday morning. The sea was run- ming so high that Captain Kendrick deemed it dangerous to proceed and went back. to Westport where he remained until Monday morning That morning was pleasant and Captain Kendrick weighed anchor at o'clock and started for Chatham. He saw nothing more of the yacht which had doubtless gone to the bottom in the heavy weather of the previous day.
