AS if there was scarcity of awful casual ties some one started 8 report which got into the evening papers, of fearful plunge of an excursion train into Colorado canon on Tuesday, with loss of several hundred lives. There was no basis, whatever, for the story.
 ARE the Hartford newspapers aware that they are violating the law in printing ad- vertisements of the Louisiana lotteries :? The law is just as much infringed in the publication of paid matter in news columns as in advertising columns. Some of those now violating have in past years been swift in decrying this same offence.
 UNDOUBTEDLY business men have from force of habit been using the telegraph in cases where mail service would answer as well.

 CoNNEcT1oUT's acreage of tobacco is de- creasing yearly, and th1s season will be about 1O, 900 acres. The average of pota- toes is larger than usual-about 32,0OO, and the crop is doing finely. The crop of corn has increased annually for the past few years in Connecticut, and may be set down for this year at 5000 acres. It promises now to give good crop, consid- erably above the average.

His destination was to be secret, but one O'Donnel dogged him, took passage on the same ship, and, it is believed, as agent of the Fenians, murdered him on ship board. O'Donnel is in irons, and will be tried for his act Carey has met the fate he deserved, but his greatest crime was not in turning informer. That was a craven act, but one.to be expected from an assas- sin. He was 8 principal in the Phenix Park butchery, dropping handkerchief as a signal for the work to be done.

still drags its weary length along in Judge

two weeks to-day. A large number of coun-

said he would try to arrange TO accommodate
the counsel, and Major Waelder gave him the
names Of Digs & AubV, Shook & Ditmar,
J. II. McLeaV, P. II. Ward and waelder &
Epson, as the counsel who were engaged in

Of the witnesses we're Of an improper charac-
ter and some we're uncertain. Mr.. Copeland
addressed the committee and wages that his
case had been made out, and that the police
had done Mr.. Stein great injustice by per-
scouting him. Ealan repented, stating that
he had simply carried out the orders Of his
chief in cautioning prostitutes not to frequent
a saloon or he would be obliged to arrest
them. The committee deferred their move
ment until full board was present. Mr..
Stein is indicted before the grand jury for
keeping disorderly house

COMING STREET CAR COMPANY.
The Right OF Way Granted, The Incor-
porators VIII At Once Com
mence Work.

A worthy impetus is being given towards
the settling up and identifying of the suburbs
of our city by the formation of street car
company, to be called the Prospect Hill Street
Railway company, to run from the Interna-
tional depot one mile or more in a westward
direction, the incorporators of which COM
pany we gave in our yesterdays issue, with
the exception of two gentlemen, Mr.. Albert
Maevrick and Mr.. P. J. Moss. As soon al
the right'oi-way is granted by the City Coun-
Gil the construction of the road will at once
be commenced upon and all means used to
make it a complete success. The country
through which the track will run is largely
owned by the incorporators, and the locality
is certainly healthy and beautiful. Pas
sengers will only have to cross the Interna-
tional line to get from Colonel Belknap's track
to that Of the newly formed company.
