 MANS DEAD BODY FOUND IN A LOT
 BURIAL IN BRANFoRD.
 George and Daniel Srcanton, of Detroit, are spending few weeks at the home of their father, Captain Ichabod Scranton. The new yacht just launched by Will Hill is the finest beat and fastest sailer that is owned in town.
 Miss Clara Badger gave a lawn party at 'EWildwood' Wednesday afternoon. About fifty were present, including several from Guildford. Prominent among the guests were four sophomores of Yale and gradu ate of Wellesley. The party was the most successful of the season.
 Captain George Beckwith took about two hundred of his Madison friends on sailing excursion last Thursday. The party started brisk northerly breeze, reached Double Beach at o'clock. In the afternoon the wind changed to the southeast and being al- most dead ahead made the ending customary to such excursions-a dead calm of three hours duration and a midnight walk home. A collection amounting to $16.5O was taken for the captain.
 Last Saturday Henry McCann left his home after expressing his intention of going to New Haven. Nothing was seen or heard of him until Wednesday afternoon when, as Thomas Kane was going across the lot back of the residence of MT. Thomas, he came up on body lying the ground in the sun. Dr. Webb and Judge Wilcox were called to the spot and the remains were identified as being those of MT. McCann. Proper meas ures were taken and the body was buried at Branford Thursday morning. It is supposed that the man left home under the influence of liquor and fell while going through the lot, causing apoplexy, which resulted in death. July 31.

paper comment if 8 shaTpie is built here. When the shipbuilding industry fourished here times were good and money was plenty and if we did have to give ten cents for quarter of an understandable pie, where now we can purchase the same amount of dyspep- sia for five cents, wA could always get ten cents much easier then than we can five now. The carpenters used to maks eood pay and like most all other hard working people spent their money freely thus enriching the storekeeper. It is fact worthy of note, too, that every storekeeper who did busfness in Fair Haven at the time speak of IS either worth good deal of money to-day or is poor because he failed to keep it when hard times came. All the men who sold groceries and div goods at that tims who are living to-day are worth anywhere from s25, ,00O to $500, ,000. The Quinnipiac House. which is not 50 very valuable prop erty now, paid for itself several times over when it was run as 8 boarding house for the carpenters under the name of the Phoerix House. ] think, hcwever," concluded the builder, "that there will have te be radical change in the business methods of Fair da- ven men of money before any industry will ever flourish here as did that of shipbu1ld- ing"

Surgeon Wales Put on Furlough.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-Secretary Whit ney hrs endorsed the finding of the naval court martial which tried Medical Director Wales, who was charged with cu1pab1e ineffic- iency in the performance of his duty and neg 1ect of duty while acting surgeon general of the navy The court found pr. Wales guilty of both charges and sentenced him to be suspended from rank and duty for five years on furlough pay and to retain his pres ent number on his grade during that period. Secretary Whitney in expressing his approv al of the sentence says: 'tNo dishonest or corrupt act or motive involving any breach of personal integrity on the part of Medical Director Philip s. Wales as chief of the bu- reau of medicine and surgery was alleged against him nor is there any evidence in the record which would have justified such a charge or which tends to cast reflection up- on his personal honesty. It is equally prop CT, however, to remark that the charges of culpable ineficiency in the performance of duty and neglect of duty are fully sustained by the evidence"

NEW YORK, July 31.-It is extremely doubtful whether Michael E. Hirsch of Point Pleasant, O., the present owner of the house General Grant was born in, and MT. James J. Coogan, who conceived the idea of purchas- ing the old house and presenting it to the city to be placed in one of the parks, will reach an agreement MT. Hirsch's latest price was $10,00O. Mr. Coogan in reply offered $5,000 cash. No answer has yet been received. It is evident that MT. Hirsch fully appreciates the fact that there is only one house in which General Grant was born.
