Police Commissioners.

The GamewelI System to be Tried-All
 the Board in E'aVOr-Other Matters.
 The police commissioners held @ special eeting last evening to consider the Game we'll police telephone and signal telegraph system. MT. W. H. Wendell, the special agent of the company from Boston, was pres ent and described the system and it's practi- cal working. The system was fully described in yesterdays COURIER. MT. Wendell made proposition to the board which is in effect that the company put in 8 cert, in number of stations, made of iron, with glass tops and provided with boxes, furnish the necessary central office connections, lay all the wires provided the city granted the right of way, and rent them to the city for $50 station per annum. The company cannot furnish the telephone as they have no arrangements with the company, but the whole expense to the city would be the $50 year rental. If the city should like the system, after giving it fair trial, the company would sell the system to the city for $150 station. If the city buys within six months after the system has been established, the rental over the $2O for the telephone would be ahated. Thus if ten stations were put in the annual rental would be $500. If at the end of the year the city wanted to buy, the company would sell the whole system, eX- elusive of the telephones, for $1, 800. The matter was referred to 8 committee of two who have power to contract for 8 rental of ten stations for year with the privilege of buying at the expiration of that time. The committee appointed consists of Commis- sionerg Hart and Catlin. 1 VIZ
 The resignation of Officer AS fleming way was read and accepted. Coroner Boll- man moved that Officer Phelps be appointed to fill the position of doorman. The chief stated that he would appoint the doorman court officer. The motion was lost.
 It was moved that the chief have the power to fill the positions of doormen by ap- pointing members of the force who were from time to time unable to do outdoor duty. This was objected to as opposed to the terms of the charter, which states that the Board must fill the position. The question of filling the position was tabled.
 Chief Webster stated that Officer Boucher Carried away some property belonging to the city when he went away, and asked that the was ordered that Mir. Boucher be directed to give up the property. The president of the Board was directed to appear before the Common Council and ask for privilege to transfer the unexpended balances from one account to another of the police department. The question of locating the morgue was discussed. Commissioner Hart favored de- laying action until next year. Coroner Boll- man stated that some of the hospital com mittee were opposed to the location of the morgue on the hospital grounds in connec- ton with their new morgue.

 at 266 Davenport avenue, nearS Stevens street. Said he thought the layout was very good one and that it would be a. benefit to the western part of the city. He thought de pot in the vicinity of Sylvan avenue would be about the right spot for passenger depot.
 When MT. Baldwin asked him if he thought Gofe and Crescent or Norton street would be a good place fof depot he said he thought it would. Cloud laughter.) Witness further stated that he was 8 confectioner by trade, but at present worked at the New Haven Wheel shop, and he understood that Mayor Lewis was president of the company.
 Simmons Han was called. He said he had formerly lived near railroad on State street and had not experienced any inconvenience from it. He thought the present layout of the Hartford and Harlem was good one.
 To Nr. Hamilton-I now live on St. John street. When bought my place did not buy near railroad cut. I should think if there vas 6 valuable dwelling near a railroad cut its value would not be increased. 1don't know that it would be damaged much.
 Marvin Olmstead, of North Haven, was called. He said that the layout through his farm cut valuable water privilege in two and he would like to have the grade changed farther west. He said he had no antipathy against the road. He said farther that he formerly lived in New Haven and near a rail- road track He never found any annoyance from it.

 w. J. Leavenworth, of Wallingford, ap- peared for MT. Wallace, and asked that change be made in the layout through that town.
 Alfred D. Goodyear was called. Said he had dealt in real estate more or less. Said he owned real estate in several streets in the western part of the city. He said he wss not particularly posted about the layout, but he did not see how it was going to hurt prop erty very much.
 MT. Baldwin named over the different To- calities for depots and MT. Goodyear said he thought Goffe street would be as preferable as any for passenger depot. He said he should object to having depot next door to him. Oaughter.)
 Foster Morse, one of the engineers of the H artford and Harlem, was called. He was asked what the system for passenger depots was abroad.
 Commissioner Woodruff said everybody knew that and it was not necessary to go into that subject. It was dropped.
 Witness contfnued-I do not think the lay out will interfere with the Cheessboro system of sewerage in New Haven, it would only be necessary to change the course of the flow of water. The bend in water. pipes to carry the water over the tracks would not make any perceptible difference in the flow of water. He thought that passenger depots could be built between George and Elm streets.
 At 4:40 p. n. an adjournment was ordered until this morning at 10 o'clock.

Powder Mill Blown Up.

A Fatal Crash at HAAardv1lle-One Man
 Blown to PIeces-A Ton of Powder.
 Ats o'clock yesterday morning the old "cracking machine'' mill, one of the old Haz- ardville powder mills, exploded with g tre- mendous noise, which was heard miles away. In the mill there was at the time only one man, and his name was James Leonard. He was blown to pieces with the mill. About a ton of powder exploded. The men get careless after awhile and probably this, like so many previous explosions, was due to some eareIessness.
 The trunk of Leonard's body was found against. and partly suspended from a tree, twenty rods of, two hours afterwards. His legs and arms, and part of his head, have not been found yet. He was seen by 8 work man about four seconds before the explosion, just outside the door of the building-which accounts for so much of the body being whole Had he been inside when the ex- plosion took place, nothing would have been found of him.
 Two teamsters had just left the building aud narrowly escaped.
 Many of the powder company's surround ing buildings are much wrecked. Had this accident occurred Monday, before the rain, the result would have been very disastrous,

:" WI[SONIA" AND PHYSICIANS,
A New Article Friday, Aug. 17.

In the progress of investigation reached in our lsst paper the expression of fundamental and con- trolling principle offered by the philosophic and penetrating mind of the father of homeopathic med icine. According to him this principle lies at the root of life itse and it's intrinsic properties, as we then saw, were embodied in the e1pression-''vita force" from which all the phenomena of life date their origin and deprived of which all life ceases and is incapable of further continuance.
 Now let us take another step and endeaYor to sn. alyze as nearly may be the nature of this control ling principle what 1t consists, where is dwels, how 1t exercises it's mysterious powers, and why death supervenes upon the cessation of the operation of those powels The term vital force as employed by Hahnemann, Is an unmeantng phrase, unlefg we can reach some definition whereby the rationale of

The Shore Line.

The passenger receipts of the Shore Line road for the month of July last were $9, ,OOO in excess of the receipts of July last year. It is predicted that the track will be doubled within the next five years and that business will be vastly increased when the Thames bridge is completed. With the present re- strictions upon travel, and especially upon the freighting traffic, by the confinement of all business to a single track, the road is doing very heavy business. The Newport and other fast expresses are long trains and the coaches are filled with passengers.

 Lightning.

During the midst of tremendous thunder storm in Avon at 5 o'clock Monday after noon, bolt of lightning struck and instantly killed an old and highly respected citizen of Avon. MT. Carlos c. Day, residing in West Avon, was the victim. He was struck down at the back door of his house, receiving the full volume of a tremendous thunderbolt, which knocked him down with great force.

MT. Day was a man of some wealth, and perhaps the leading citizen of that community. His age was probably about 75.

A Surprising Table,

A table is going Ihe rounds which purports to show the rank of the postofices in the larger places in Connecticut By this table it is made to appear that the Hartford office ranks first and the New Haven office second. The salary of the head of the Hartford office is placed at $3, 800 and that of the New. Ha- ven office at $3, 100. The gross receipts of an office determine the salary of a postmas- ter Offices where the gross receipts are be
 tween $11O, ,O0O and $150, ,OOO-in which class both the Hartford and New Haven offices are give the postmasters salary of 8, 40O
 If the figures given in the table referred to are correct the gross receipts of the New Ha- ven office must have fallen of during the past year about $6O, 900, and the gross receipts of the Hartford office must have increased from $20, 900 to $3O, 900. There has been no such falling of in the New Haven office. On the contrary, the receipts have largely increased.
