brakeman on Conductor Kidder's train, which
left this city at $50 night before last, was
found early yesterday morning at Cos Cob by
the telegraph operator at that place. De-
ceased, it is believed, fell from the train
either at the point where the body was found
or some distance this side. The theory is
that the body was dragged some distance,
the clothing having caught in the coupling
pin and hunters. Deceased was twenty-five
years of age, unmarried and boarded in

CHANGES IN BUSINESS.


important Real Estate Transactions
general Meryvin,s Packing House
sold to II. 8. Andrew & Co.
s. T.. Merwin & Son have sold their pack
ing establishment on the corner of Henry
and Crescent streets to F. S. Andrew & Co.
The sale includes all the machinery and ap-
purtenances of the building, and while the
transfer has not yet been recorded, it is the
understanding that Andrew & Co. will take
possession April 1. This addition to their
old establishment, which adjoins their pur-
chase is an addition that the firm very
much needed, owing to the rapid increase of
their business When the two buildings are
connected it will more than double their ca
pacity for packing, and their business will,
no doubt, keep pace with their increased
facilities for supplying the demand for their
goods. -
Although General Merwin will retire from
the packing business on April l, it is under
stood that he has not yet decided whether he
will continue his State street establishment
or not. He is said to have some dea of es-
tablishing himself in business in the West,
but he is vet undecided

succeed in making itself felt, firstly, by gain
ing majority in the House, then for time
in the Senate, and finally almost electing the
President in 1876. The effort to form a new
party on Johnson's theory was made at the
Philadelphia convention of August IA, 1866,
which was said to have been inspired by Sew
ard, and which ultimately led to the nomi-
nation of Greeley and his disastrous defeat.
The Independent Republicans-who were
the Mugwumps of those days--not only
grossly overestimated the detection from the
Republican ranks, but relied too much upon
the magnanimity of the Southern Demo-
Gratis. The Greeley campaign was the igno-
minious end of the proposed third party,
the glories of which johnson thought he
foresaw.
Johnsons acts no doubt constituted trea-
son to the party which had elected him to
the Vice Presidency, but that the sturdy
Unionist, who fought back the mob single
handed in Tennessee, and submitted to exile
and loss in the darkest hour of the cause,
intended to use force of arms TO establish
his own control over the War Department
for the purpose of surrendering to the power
of the prostrate Confederacy, the country
will not believe, unless Colonel Fred Grant
can produce the documentary evidence of
the fact, which he says he possesses.
