The party, with Alice Holmes, went [ to Meriden in 8 sleigh and the fatal accident
 occurred on the return, at about half an shour after midnight and after Miss Holmes T Rhad been left at her home. Myers was sex.
 ton of the Episcopal church. The funeral
 of Myers and Howe takes place to- day from
 the Episcopal church, of which they were Bboth members. Emma Motrann, who zwas
 lone of the sleighing party, though badly
 hurt, will probably recover. Her age IS It 8years.

Cases Not Tried.

The police made what is denominated ir police circles ''a raid," Saturday night, ir Wooster street, arresting Mary Knowlton
 Wales o. Hotchkiss, Zoe Sherman, Mary E.
 White, John H. Tyler, Frederick Perrin and Emma Southard The two former were
 arraigned yesterday in the City court on the
 charge of keeping Q house of i'll fame and the others with either frequenting or residing in sthe same. The warrant had been issued on 5the 10th and given to Policeman Driscou to sserve at some time within his discretion, the Iidea being to have the officers descend on the house at a time favorable for pro scuring evidence against the par sties. The officers who assisted
 MT. Driscoll, though abundant as to nun. Der, somewhat disappointed the chief of po- lice as to results, and as it was known to 8
 number of persons that the raid was intend
 ed, the police presumption is that somebody notified the two principals in time for the es scape of some of the inmates of the houses.
 The prosecuting attorney not being ready for
 trial asked a continuance, an in the cases of
 Mary Kuowlton, Wales O. Hotchkiss, Tyler, Perrin and Emma Southsrd, the request awas granted, their cases coming up again on sthe 18th. The cases against Zoe Sherman \ sand Mary E. White were settled by the entry aef nolle, it being claimed that they were
 waiting in the house for g train to carry them Kto Providence.

An Interesting Showing for the Past
 Ten Years.
 The population as shown by the census of #1880 shows some interesting facts.
 The population of Connecticut is 622, 700, an increase of 85, 246 in ten years, and of l162, ,526 in twenty years. This indicates a pretty steady increase of about 5000 year.
 There are 3o.598 farms in Connecticut, scomprising l 1,642, 1S8 acres of improved land, worth $121, ,Oo0, GOO. The farming imple. ments and tools on these farms are worth $3, 163. .O00, and the live stock $1O, ,959, 1000. It will surprise some people that the live stock is worth only about three times aa much as the machinery of the farms. The total product, including what was consumed at home, is given for all our Connecticut farms at SIS, 8,O1O, ,OOO. Hartford county has more farms than any other county they are worth more money and produce more dollars than those of any other county.
