How to Make. e Second AnsOnfa out of

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 One of these new railroads, either Olmstead or the Hartford and Harlem, ought to go through Westville. It would make it a sec ond Ansonia. It was the Naugatuck railroad that built up the large city of Ansonia in up- per ''old Derby" There couldn't bs better place to run a railroad than the foot of 8 forty feet high bank on the west side of West river. This wouldn't interfere with sewers or pipes of any kind, and the intersecting streets could be bridged over the railroad with but little expense. If carried through on the east side we should have to give up our boulevard" 1" as running along by its side would ruin the safety and pleasantness of the drive. and it must not be that the Evergreen cemetery shall be invaded and desecrated. On the west side of West river, as above, there would be asuperabundance of earth to carry down and straighten all curves in the bank, building the railroad on the foot of the bank, and not on the meadow, which would require piling There would be no trouble at all in selecting suitable place for the de. pots in Westville. And, besides Westville will soon be 8 part of the city.

The Late pr. Newton, s'the Healing Phy.
 sfc


 The late Dr. Newton, ''the healing physi. clan" who is we'll recollected by many in this city, including some who sought his services, is thus spoken of by the Hartford Courant |: f'When Dr. Newton came to Hartford many years ago, he occupied the large dwelling house on the south corner of Pleasant and Winthrop streets. He advertised to heal the sick, restore the blind to sight, make the lame walk, etc., and to give his services with out money and without price in every case where his callers were too poor to pay. The result of this generous offer was to draw to his headquarters about all the invalids in Hartford and vicinity who could walk or crawl there, and immense crowds gathered, filling the house and grounds, and sometimes stringing up Pleasant street and occupying the granite blocks of the Patterson works like patience on a monument It was said that some r,ernoa- nent cures were effected, but very many per- sons received only temporary benefit. The doctor's' treatment seemed to be enough in many cases. though he claimed that in the laying on of hands there must be an enereet- ic movement to produce the desired effect. He would seize a sufferer from rheumatic troubles in the back, who had come to the house on crutches, and throw him face down. ward upon lounge and fairly jump on him. AA6 pdbA9ub App6ekEcO bO k6e4 h6 U 01S tune had como, but upon getting'up could find it easy to walk without the aid of crutches. If a stammerer desired to be cured, the doctor would converse with him mildly and suddenly grab him by the throit till his tongue looked purple, almost fEighten- ing the subject out of his senses; but there would be an absence of vocal confusion for a time when the stammerer got to his feet and discovered that he was still alive. It seemed as if most of the patients were actually scared. into cures, and this appeared more plausible when, as they got away from the heaIer's grip and influence, they had to resume their crutches or found themselves stumbling more than ever when trying to coin and utter words with which to describe their miracle working experience. But it was claimed by many that they derived real and permanent benefits, and no doubt hundreds of people through the country believed that Dr. Newton was great dsliVerer, his claim originally being that he possessed supernatu- ral gifts. Other healers,' sincs, have by the friction of rubbing performed more sat- 1 lsIactery cures without making any such pre-

Boston Ahead.

The Horse Gets to Stony Creek Long Be-
 fors the Catamaran - The Weather Directly the Reverse of that of tn
 Former Race.
 The race between Ezra Daggett's horse Boston and a catanaaran owned by Frederick Hughes, his partner. yesterday, was won by the horse. It will be remembered that ou July 1st 8 similar race resulted in victory for the catamaran, the owner of the horse being arrested on a charge of cruelty to ami mals. As in the other race the distance was from New York to Stony Creek. Before the weather favored the boat, there being a brisk westerly breeze, while the heat WAS a serious drawback to the horse. Yesterday the condition of things was exactly reversed, the boat having strong head wind to con tend with, while. the cool air was highly favorable to long distance driving.
 The start was made from New York yes terday morning at 5:23., The horse reached Bridgeport at 11:3O, stop of half an hour having been made at Stamford The roadster was followed by team said to con tain New York Sun reporter and 8 stranger said to be Boston's trainer. When the teams arrived at Bridgeport the boat was not in sight The horse was stabbed for an hour and at 12:30 the journey to this city was re- stunned. Bergh ox New York, of cruelty to animal fame, had said that Boston would never be allowed to make the trip, but never theless the horse started on time.
 The teams reached this city about 3 O o'clock
 Boston was looking very fresh and crossed
 Tomlinson's bridge trotting briskly. He did
 not show the least sign of fatigue. His form CT record to this city was beaten by three quarters of an hour and his record to Stony Creek considerably more than that. The catamaran was nowhere to beseen. The SUD- position was that she had been making slow
 headway against the adverse wind. A crowd gathered at the Four Corners to see the teams go by and loudly cheered MT. Daggett and his horse. It was rumored that some attempt was to be made to stop the horse, but it went on unhindered and reached Stony Creek at 4:25. The horse was still fresh and looked good for several miles The catamaran was delayed by the rough water and strong head winds. s-a'
 At last reports last evening the catamaran had not been seen or heard from at Stony Creek. She was probably having hard time of it or stopped at some point on the route.

\ TRIPLE SUICIDE.-The suicide OF the
three sisters, of the name of Angel, belong
ing to very good family. has caused great
CONSERVATION in Venice. The greatest 5'rs
tery still prevails as to the reason which IL
;!uccd these three young girls TO take so

one Monday afternoon and walked as tar as
the Riva degli Scnlavoni. Here they took
the steamboat, which was running the las!
time that afternoon to the Lido. one OF
the Young ladies. before starting, had eX'
pressed desire to 80 in gondola. during
the short journey they sat in the cabin with
the steward, and appeared very melancholy
One of them asked what time the last Doat
returned 10 Venice. They then commenced
spaakinr French between themselves until
they alichted at the Lido. They walked
on as far as the beach and were seen late IN
the evening walking together AS they diu
not return home that night lntorination was
given to the police, who at once traced lhe!I
movements up to Il late hour on the daE -
their disappearance. The news that hSh-
crInan had discovered one OF the bodies On
the coast near Malamocco created much Sell

and the second was subject to eplieptic hts.
They had on several occasions declared That
they found life miserable, and would put an
end TO it. The youngest of the sisters, a glrI
OF extreme beauty and grace, had Jeen heard
to say that she would not live an hour alter
her sisters death They had lost their
mother, whom they adored, and it appears
that before starting for the Lido they haa
