war ships on the BIack Sea.

From the London Daily News.
 The Novoe Vremya, reyerting to the recent launch of war ships in the Black Sea, says, inter alia: ''Once more, after lapse of some 35 years, the towering masts of our powerful war vessels again rear themselves above the waters of the Black Sea, carrying with pride and freedom the Russian flag, which, may God grant, shall never again be lowered. We cannot, naturally, foresee what m ay happen in the future. But, in order to com mand the waters of the Black Sea, we must the commencement of the formation of this feet is matter of utter importance, and gives us the most lively satisfaction.

PASSED AWAY.
Death Of Elenzar Ransom, one of New
 HavensH Oldest Men.

Death Of EIeazar RamsOIns One Of New
 Haven's oldest Men.
 One of New Haven's oldest citizens, Flea gar Ransom died at the residence of his son in-lsw, William D. Hendrick, on Lloyd street, Tuesday night, at the advanced age of ninety years He was 8 native of Salem, Conn.,, and in early life was a sailor, having taste for the adventurous, and there being at that period many promising youth engag- ing in the maritime service from choice, and owing to the fascinations tinged with pa- triotic impulse attaching to the service. He was second mate at the age of twenty on the voyage of trading ship to the Africa an coast. He was commander of the ship on the return voyage, the captain and first mate both hay ing died of coast fever He was at once pro noted to be full captain and in that capacity made several voyages to South America and the West Indies. During the war of 1912 ne was twice taken prisoner by thu British, but was fortunate in getting released. In lo22 he returned to New Haven for a settlement and home. He bought for what would now be considered almost nothing the property on the corner of Grand and Frank
 
 covered with weeds and in almost primeval condition. There were no houses within half a mile of where he built and people used to esk him why he had chosen location so far removed from the center of trade and business. Here he remained for while and after making an other voyage to the West Indies settled down here permanently and for long time con ducted the general grocery business. On 1 his last voyage his ship was wrecked in ey- l clone in West Indian waters and Captain Ransom and his crew had severe experiences before reaching home. His grocery was center for evening gatherings and discussions from Washington, Europe and the topics of the hour about town. Captain Ransom was 1 a man of much decision Of character, firm | and sincere in hts convictions, earnest and honorable and of judicial turn of mind. He | lived to see a wonderful change caused by the incre ase and growth of the city, by social | and political and other changes and the in troduction of the steam and horse railroads, the telegraph and the electric light. He | leaves two children, Mrs. A. A. Lee and Mrs. l William D. Hendrick. His wife died years

CONNECTICUT RAILROADS.

Their Condition As Viewed Ely the
 Railroad Commissioners.
 The railroad commissioners, who have completed their semi-annual inspection of Connecticut, report them to be generally in excellent condition. A good deal of repair ing and rebuilding has been done. The Air
 Line is spoken of as improved. They rec
 ommend that the platform at Turnervilie should be improved, and that some portions of the track should be renewed. The Naug- atuck road is found in fine condition, and the only suggestions are that new piling is needed at the lock house bridge below Sey- mour, new ties on the second string bridge above Oakville and 8 new bridge in place ot ! the Jericho bridge.
 Concerning the little Derby it is said: ''The work of rebuilding is nearly finished and when done nothing but ordinary repairs will be needed for some time to come"
 The Danbury and Norwalk is reported to have received marked improvement on the Hawleyville branch in renewal of bridges and use of steel rails. The Housatonic is report ed to be in fine shape, but it is recommended that more new depots be built.
 Concerning the New York and New Eng land the commissioners say: 'FThe general condition of the road is very satisfactory. West of Waterbury nothing calls for any suggestion. The old wooden string
 CT bridge between New Britain and
 PIainville should soon be removed. Suggest
 ions are made as to new ties, etc., at 0 num-
 Der of points and it is said that the west end of the Widow Dean trestle should be filled. O 5,1 lol the Scitico trsstle and other repairs at this point and at the East Windsor bridge are mentioned. No suggestion is made as to the Norwich a1-d Worcester division. It is said that 8 new depot at East Hartford should be begun at once."
 Of the New York, New Haven and Hart ford it is said: 'fOn the Hartford division no suggestion is made except as to curve and frog and some loose joints in the stone bal last first put in. The Sufield, New Britain and Middletown branches are in good condi- tion except for the need of few new ties. On the Shore Line division the roadbed and track are fin their usual good condition The New London piling, how ever, needs attention" Of the New York division it is said: ''The completion at the Housatonic river of the best and most sub stantial iron bridge within our jurisdiction (upon which we congratulate both you and the patrons of your road leaves your com pany at liberty to give your attention to the three other important bridges on your line, at Bridgeport, Norwalk and Westport, re- spectively. We understand that you have already arranged to replace the iron bridges at the two first named places by more sub stantial ones, and we think it would be well to replace the high piling at Norwalk by iron trestles. The bridge at Westport ought, in our opinion, to be replaced without un- necessary delay. The condition of your roadbed and track is excellent, and better than we have ever before seen it, and the whole appearance of your road neat and at tractive"

THE SCHOONER VALENTINE.

Description of a We'll Built Vessel The Launch Delayed on Account of the Tides.
 The schooner Charles H. Valentine is waiting
 in Hanscom's yard, Fair Haven, for favor
 able tide to make her launch successful. The
 vessel is in some of it's features not unlike the John H. Tingue, but is less gorgeously fitted up. It is named the Charles H. Val .entine after one of the owners, who lives in New Jersey, and it will hail from Manis- guam, N. J. Work was begun on the schooner last February.
 The keel of the Valentine is 146 feet long, it is B feet inches wide and is 16 feet deep. The vessel is about 1 900 tons burthen and will be rated as A 1 at the proper time, this classification continuing good for period of fourteen years. The lower mssts are 90, 91 and 92 feet high. Added to each one of
 these is topmast 53 feet in height, making the highest altitude that seaman can reach
 on the schooner 145 feet. It will need in the neighborhood of ,5OO yards of sail to canvas the vessel
 The two anchors weigh 2,60O and 2, 1900
 pounds respectively, and the chains neces- sary to weigh this pond erous load are an inch and fve-eighths anGI an inch and three quarters thick on each. When the vessel is light, or without cargos the draught of wa ter will be seven and one thalf feet. She will draw sixteen feet of ater when loaded. The center-board trunk is thirty feet long, the bowsprit forty-thrt ,e feet long, with twg aty five feet of an ou tbo.rd, and the fly ing jibboom is eleven fe ct long. The two cab ins, fore and aft, re finished in hard wo cd, pine and black walnut. They are mo dels of comfort and com pactness. Not oq foot of room is was ted. There are three

staterooms on the sides. Brussels carpets cover tbe flooring Fancifully decorated bano;nr lamps will light up the cabins.
 Captain A. Curtis, of Manisquam, N. J., will command the new vessel and will have with him crew of eight men, five before the mast, first and second mates and steward. They hail from New York, but will board the schooner when the day is set for launch ing. The Valentine will cost little less
 than $40, 900 and is owned mainly by New
 Jersey capitalists, but very few shares in it l being taken by New Haveners or Fair Ha- veners.
 As it is not very deep water where the yes sells are launched from this yard it is neces- sary to have all conditions of wind, watel and moon in the most favorable condition,
 Every schooner that has been launched there
 for years past has been launched between the hours of ii a. m. and in the afternoon. Mir.

 NEW YoRE, Nov. 12. Notwithstanding the continuance of the war of rates between the roads of the eastern and western trunk lines, stocks were quite firmly held to-day, but the strength of prices is mainly attributable to the machinations of the bull cliques At the open ing this morning and during the first half hour of business there was pressure to sell under which prices gave way fractionally, but subsequently, the cliques bid up some of the leaders, notably Union Pacific, Laekawanna and St, Paul, which had the effect of not only checking the selling but causing rush to buy. As result prices took an upward turn At noon the early decline had been more than recovered Prices were Ii to per cent higher. From noon up to2:15 the market was dull, but firm. prices recording further fractional ad- vance over the midday figures. There was but little selling, fears of squeeze retardng many operators from making ventures in the market. After the de- livery hour had passed, however, there was renew ed selling, prices reacting sharply The final figures were irregular but the changes only fractional either way in majority of cases Jersey Central was especially weak and closed per cent. down on reports of an intention to reduce the rate of divi- dend.

Janttor AIIston.

In the death of Osborn Allston, the jani-
 tor of South college at Yale, that institution loses another of the links that have bound it to the now fading past. For years South college, little better than an old rookery in it's venerable dilapidation. has been the favor ite of all the dormitories at Yale. Spite of time, spite of great progress in the construc- ton of later buildings, spite, too, be 1t gen. tly said, of the sort of care that the worthy
 Allston took or didn't, take of the place, and spite of all other objections, South college has always been the fashion. For how long
 the modest Allston was the responsible ad-
 ministrator upon it's attractiveness, we can not say; yet it was long enough for him to
 become recognized element in it at such
 times as the subsistence of the dust rendered
 recognition possible. One cannot ex- eel in everything; and though Alls- ton was admitted to raise more dust on all sides than any other Yale "sweep, still his rivals who had charge of South | Middle unquestionably surpassed him ir raising more and larger bedbugs-those ex l emplary undergraduate residents who have l stood by Yale now, generation after genera l tion, for more than century and quarter | without one or the IaIlIy ever DoluS 0ApoI l led from the college. The students in 'Old 1 South, 3 however, have ever been gentle
 manly and considerate set, and Allston's fail
 ure never irritated them; indeed, the boys ot
 South Middle, where the crop was always { l success, were those whose irritation of 1 tenest came to the surface. But this l is only one feature of college home l life Allston was aware of his short-com l ings, and humble-minded to most touching l degree. His speech was an apology, his 1 labor reparation. None ever sought hin without discovering his retiring disposition and also his disposition to retire, and ofter l they discovered this by their inability to dis
 cover him at all Many an old graduate will recall with a kindly smile his recollection ot 1 A1lston, who always recollected him, and 1 will feel that without his humble obstruc ] tiveness South college will soon fall into the ] ways of modern progress and memory alone preserve the state of things that he so long | maintained.

The Coca forms one of the ingredients of the Liebig Co.'S celebrated Coca Beef Tonic. ''It is con ducive to health and longevity.
