RAGS FOR CONNECTICUT,
The President of the Seymour Pap
 Company TaIkR

The President of the Seymour Paper
 Company Talks.
 Mir. Charles G. O'Hara, president of the Seymour Paper company, has been talking to New York reporter about Egyptian rags He says they make about twenty-five per cent. of the rags used in this country, and that they are needed is shown by the fact that there IS no undue accumulation. As to their condition he said:
 They are not as foul and filthy as general ly supposed. The filth in Egyptian rags is mainly sand and dust, which forms about 15 per cent. of their weight This kind of dirt is not as offensive as that we find in raos imported from other countries. The Egyptian rags have little grease in them, and dirt does not adhere to them in such quantities as to rags from other lands. This is owing to the fact that animal food is used only on 8 little in Egypt Fruit is the chief diet of the natives there When the sand and dust is removed, the rags are much cleaner than those of @ similar grade from other countries. They contain only half as much rubbish or dirt as the low-priced rags we get from England, France. and Germany :, In , order to correct the general impression Inag Egyptlan rags are impregnated with choiera, continued MT. O'Hara, fI have con- suited with the health officers of New York New Haven and Boston, and with Dr. Hamil- ton, surgeon general of the Marine hospital service at Washington. All the gentIemen agreed that thorough fumigation of raos with burning sulphur would be satisfactory but they were more thoroughly satisfied that boiling the rags would be the best means of disinfection, as boiling would destroy entirely the germs of all diseases. Though this is the most expensive process, we adopted it at our place at Alexandria We had drying ca pacity of about one hundred tons week We boil the rags from four to six hours. This thoroughly cleanses them of all impurities But there are no germs of disease in these rags before they are cleaned, or else our Worlmen would have the cholera Since last February we have assorted about eight hundred tqns of rags at Cairo, and about one thousand tons at Alexandria The

ST. JOHN MEN TALKING.

A Meeting Nm English Hall Where ProhibittOnists Rally and Urge Their Convictions. Fully twenty men congregated in English Hall last night to at tend the rally for St. John and Daniel. President R. Thompson occupied the platform. The different men who were present made short speeches. Most of them had decided to vote the prohibition ticket, but some of them were wavering be- tween St. John and Butler. The question of expediency was discussed, and the conclusion rssched that if the Prohibitionists kept on voting for prohibition they might elect 8 President in some distant year. At any rate man should vote as his conscience directs, though he may always be on the losing side. Every movement is begun in small influences and it is only by sticking to the faith with paste-like tenacity that the victory is won. Those who contributed to the capitalization of sentiment given above were MT. Thomp- son, Charles Dewey, Dr. Mor1ell, Photo grapher Babb, William Mcclellan and MT. Rogers.
 A collection was taken up.
 Someone inquired how many names were on the roll. The secretary was absent, and membership could not be ascertained. The president stated that he opined that twenty five would cover the amount.
 At the close of the meeting one of the speakers said the club needed livelier sec retary.
 St. John .is coming sometime during the campaign

Lizzie Norton, the notorious Union street character, was yesterday morning fined $2O and costs for keeping her house of in-fame on Union street. Margaret Latham and Lillie Howard were each fined $5 and costs for living in the house, and boy named James Brady was fined $5 for ire quenting the same.
 An old colored man named Ned Bland, who lives at the upper part of Henry street, was the complainant in the City court yester day morning against George Turner, 8 teamster employed by Smedley & Co.,, whom he charged with attempting to defraud him out of $4 room rent. Hummer claimed that he did not owe the man @ cent, and Judge Studley thought a civil action would be the best way to settle the difficulty and he dis charged Turner.
 John Kelaher, who got out of jail Satur- day, and his chum Dennis Kelley, were both arrested for breach of the peace. Kela- her was sent back to jail for 90 days and Kelely for being a common drunkard was sent to iaiI for one hundred days.
 In the Citycourt yesterday morning James Eckert was tried for the theft of gold watch and chain from Benjamin I. Downs. Eckert was formerly clerk at the Union House and it was claimed in court that he and John Sullivan, son of Truant Officer Suli van, with Downs went to Glen Island and, all got drunk. The next day Downs found that his gold watch and chain were missing. He re- ported his loss to Detective Brewer, who found the watch pawned at Engle's in Eek ert's name The latter heard that a warrant was out for him, went to the police office and gave himself up. He WAS arraigned in the City court yesterday morning. Attorney James P. Pigott defended him. Judge Studley found probable cause and bound Eckert over to the Superior court Under bonds of $500. Sullivan has not yet been arrested, but it is probable that he will be. Judge Stud ley advised his father yesterday morning that as he was member of the police force it would look better for him if he would not interest himself in the case at all
 The cases of the breach of peace against Eckert, Sullivan and Frederick Godfrey, which were brought against them last week, are wholly independent of the theft case and will be heard next Monday.
 The New England Acoustic Telephone company yesterday attached to satisfy claim of $219 of 0. M. Brocksieper for ser vices. The case will come up at the next term of the civil side of the City court Mir Brocksieper was the superintendent of the company and was, he says, unable to obtain his wages.

An old Lady,s story of the Battle.

A correspondent of the New York-Trlbune gives the following story of the battle of Stonington as told to him by Ia bright-eyed old lady of S5 named Waldron:''
 aRememberl" she said, 'I should think I did. Just as plain as yesterday. Why, the British men-o'-war come sailing up the bay the Terror was just over there, do you sect" pointing out of the window to where the minutest of steam tugs was puf6ng it's way to Watch Hill. 'fRight over there. On it came, and all the others. tell you every one was excited. Children were frightened and women, too. But they wouldn't have given in 8 mite, and we didn't as long as we could hold out. My! how the balls did whizz. They've got one of the shells that didn't explode down in the town on top of post. went down on the Point and helped my husband load the cannon. He wasn't my husband then; we were only engaged. An, he was a fine look ing man. You don't see many young fel- lows like him nowadays" and the color came into her cheeks and her old eyes grew bright with pride as she thought of the handsome young husband, dead long, long ago. "And they say I wasn't bad looking then, either well, I helped him and tell you what, those British men-O-war were just kept at pay. Frighteneds Me? No, indeed. Women weren't doll-babies in those days. We'll, we all worked, but it was no use. We had only two cannon, you know. We had to give up and my husband carried the flag of truce. When knew he had to go, just whipped the handkerchief off my neck and tied it to a stick and handed it down to him in the boat, and he rowed off to the ships That's the flag of truce that was carried to the British. Just handkerchief off my neck. Well, we whipped the rasca1s after all, didn't we,' in the long run? I'll show you some of the marks of British bullets, if you'll come this way" and the old lady moved briskly, in spite of a little limp, along the hall, stop ping to show now mat of her own braiding, now picture frame she had made of apple seeds ''Here's the room, and there, do you see those holes in the window sill, and all round there? British bullets did that"
 ''It is particularly interesting to me-" I said, s'because I am English"
 'FYou don't say" and the old lady looked quite embarrassed s'Wel1, well, it's all over long ago, and I think the English are just as good as anybody when you come to know them It's real foolish, anyhow, to keep up bad feelings. Yes, that's an old-fashioned bookcase. That was hit, too; stood near the window, I suppose"

There were decidedly more sellers than buyers while but little support was given to any of the leaders The heavy decline Of Saturday and the threatening as pect or affairs among the trunk lines brought in flood of orders from out-of holders to sell and brokers were kept busy in disposng of this stock. which of course assisted in depressing values The lowest figures of the morning were touched shortly after midday, when the decline ranged from A to 3per cent, the latter in Cleveland Columbus Cincinnati and Indianapolis. From 12:30 until 2 o'clock the market was dull and feverish, and al- though there were several rallies, none of the i'm provements were maintained, prices at the latter hour showing no improvement those current about midday. In the final hour of business there was changefo the better. The bull ciques, evil dently thinking that values had declined far enough sent in numerous orders to buy This caused an up- ward turn and the more timid shorts crushed to cover, causing sharp rally, prices closing, except in few cases, at fractional decline from the final figures of Saturday. The speefaties dull and as rule the changes slight. The sales aggregated 3S7, ,161 shares.
