The boat is being built expressly for the business, and will be one that will meet the requirements of residents and summer visitors at the Islands during the season. The steamer will be a very staunch and able one, having carrying ca- pacity for about seventy-fve eighty pas sengers, and will be able to stop at all the islands and other points where pleasure par ties would wish to stop, as the boat will not draw over three feet of water The capital stock is now placed at $3, ,OOO, which is enough to build and equip the boat ready for business. The stock is now about half taken The shares are $25 each and are readily dis posed of, as it is looked upon as being a good keepers at the Islands are much pleased with the project and are taking stock in the enter prise.
 Commodore Charles w. Scranton, of the New Haven Yacht club, F. C. Bushnell, Charles G. Kimberly, E. P. Avery and num- erous other prominent New Haven business men are giving the enterprise their hearty support. The scheme is good and judicious one and no doubt will be remunerative to the stockholders It ought to and will suc- ceed. The boat and machinery will be first class in every respect and the pleasure seeking public may have no fears of tbis boat being in any respect dangerous or unpleasant The boat will be run on schedule time and con meet with the trains on the Shore Line road. Captain Charles W. Foster is proprietor of the business for the company. The boat is to be built by E. H. Thatcher, the New Haven boat builder.

HENRY MATTOON,S ESCAPE. The Late Sidewalk Inspector Calls On The Police To Protect Him From A Man Who Threatens His Life.

The late sidewalk inspector, Henry J. Mat toon, now realizes what are the sensations of a man who looks into the cannon's mouth as it is about to boom or feels the last straw float ing away from linn as he sinks into watery grave. He can testify to the thoughts which rush through the mind sudden and unforeseen death presents itself in a terrible aspect. His was no usual or trihing experi- ence last evening. In brief his life was threatened and had it not been for his prompt and vigorous energy in warding off the threatened disaster New Haven would now be mourning the loss of one of it's oldest and best known citizens.
 Strange as it may appear, there is a certain commercial traveller who seems to entertain a firm determination to kill MT. Mattoon He has threatened to kill him on previous oc- casion. Why he should have conceived such a dislike for the genial quondam inspector is not known.
 As MT. Mattoon was talking with a few congenial friends last night at the Elliott House his enemy entered. In a short time he had provoked remark, although nothing that warranted the action that it called forth. His enemy put his hand to his hip pocket with threat ening gesture and with a terrible look upon his face. MT. Mattoon, of course saw the movement with his eagle eye and, knowing the virtue of discretion, made gallant counter movement for the door. He capped from his enemy and informed the po- lice. policeman was immediately sent from headquarters to the Elliott House, but the man had fed MT. Mattoon was also assured that his life would be protected.
 The assa1lant is described as short man with scar over his left eye and wearing dark moustache. He wore pepper and salt suit of clothes.
 The worst of the affair is that some think the affair only joke.

EMMANUEL BAPTIST CHURCH.

A Paper From the Trustees Read to
 the Congregation Yesterday-Rees-
 tablishment of Rev. MT. Ross In
 Charge-AR Appeal.
 There was very large attendance at this church at o'clock p. m. service when a very able discussion was delivered from the text; fAnd there came voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved son; hear him, :" by the Rev. E. M. Jerome. After the ser mon the Rev. MT. Jerome read the following paper from the trustees, this gentleman being one of the board: 'fThe trustees of this prop erty have thought it best to hold a series of meetings for the preaching of the gospel and the extension of the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ and hope by this means to carry forward the wishes of the donors who gave so iberally for the purchase of this fine prop erty. They therefore invite all who believe in God and the power of prayer and who can unite in harmony and love to very heartily engage in this effort, trusting that these meetings may prove means of spiritual i'm provement to all who shall avail themselves of the privilege of an attendance. We invite all to contribute to th1s work. All moneys received will be paid over to the chairman of the board of trustees and reports made from the desk at the public services. The trustees are in need of $500 at once to meet demands made upon them and to make some needed improve ments. They invite all who have already donated and all others to respond to this call. Those desiring to give any amount may send to s. M. Weir, chairman of the board of trus tees Emanuel Baptist church."
 The trustees have invited the Rev. J. G. Ross to supply the pulpit and have full charge of all the meetings; and appointed John w. Alexander, Richard Shepard and Charles E. Taylor 8 devotional committee; also Robert L. Reed and A. Butler to act as ushers, and Miss Susie I. Robinson organ ist and Thomas Robinson sexton. After the singing of the hymn F'Jesus Lover of my Soul, {" the benediction was pronounced by Rev. MT. Ross, who is announced to speak at the same hour next Sunday.
 This is in accordance with an effort with what seems to be the demand of the commu nifty interested in this church to induce Rev. Mir. Ross, who was sc largely instrumental in establishing the church in its present fine place of worship, to remain with it and re sume his pastoral relations with that interest. The church property has not dollar of debt upon it.

Interesting Services at Jail and Aims
 house Yesterday.


 house Yesterday.
 Yesterday morning the chaplain of the county jail spoke of Chief Webster's life as jailer and as chief of police and of the many prisoners who had under his discipline be- come wiser men, and felt the power of his advice all through life. Some of these attended his funeral as real mourners. Tb. chaplain gave incidents concerning young men who had been arrested for the first time. Ksenly they felt their disgrace and the trouble to their friends which public trial would infict. The chief, continued the chaplain, managed to take their promises with penalty if violated, and by so doing saved many young man who, seeing his narrow escape, turned his steps into the path of soberness and virtue and became good citizens. Mr. North spoke of the bit terness often displayed against police offic- CTS, judges, jailers and others who were appointed to execute the laws against of lenders with fidelity and faithfulness. and said that all such prisoners were very foolish and often inflicted greater penalties upon themselves. He advised perfect obedience to law and entire submission to the officers of the law, and illustrated the difference in the results between the wise and foolish The Texas Jubilee singers were present and rendered several pieces of sacred song with great power upon their hearers.
 AT THE ALMsHoUsE
 The religious services at the poo1h yes- terday were full of interest. Through the influence of Rev. MT. Seeley the jubilee sing CTS were obtained, and by the aid of the overseer were transported to and from the city to the chapel. Every person from both departments (whs were able) assembled and greatly enjoyed the exercises which were conducted by Rev. MT. Seeley The singers with good effect sang the Lords prayer at the opening and following gave solos and choruses, which at times drew tears from their hearers and at times excited great delight and joy. Brief remarks between the songs were made by Messrs. Seeley and North, appropriate to the occasion.

A PILE OF COAL.

Fifteen Three-Masted Schooners I'm
 The Harbor With Soft coal For The
 ComSolfdated Railroad.
 Such fleet of three-masted schooners as is to be seen in New Haven harbor at pres- ent, in addition to large number of vessels is not often assembled hereabouts. Four three-masters arrived last Friday and eleven more came on Saturday, making fifteen in all and all laden with soft coal for the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. They came all together in this fashion in stead of stringing along on account of having been detained at Hampton Roads, together with about two hundred other vessels, by bad weather. The railroad men began to get little anxious to have the coal come Each of the three-masters brought about ,000 tons-15, 900 tons in all, which will zeep the Consolidated railroad locomotives rom going hungry for while.

The Salvation Army Reinforced-The
 Army Not to Leave New Haven, AL
 though the Funds Are Low.
 The Salvation Army at New Haven has been reinforced by the arrival of two new officers in spanking uniforms They are Captain Budd and Lieutenant Sprote and they are not females. The only female con- tingent now at work among the corps is com posed of converts made in this city. The rumor that this city about to be deprived of the benefcent influence of the Army is false, as the work will still be prosecuted with vigor. Last evening the members of the Army asked for police assistance, as very disorderly crowd had assembled in and around the barracks. Two officers were ac- cordingly detailed to watch the crowd. They managed to keep the disorderly elements sub dued.
 No one was allowed to pass into the hall without dropping some money into the bas- ket which tall young negro held at the door. This requirement was said to be nec- essary, as the funds are very low.

 DAVENPORT CHURCH.
 At the Davenport church yesterday morn ing Rev. Mr. Meserve preached an interest ing discourse, his subject being ''The Boun- daries of Christian Labor" His remarks were based on St. John, 1st chapter, 41st verse, and St. Luke, 10th chapter, 33d and 34th verses. The preacher set forth in his opening remarks that personal Christian work meant labor for the direct good of others. In this work Christian soldiers should be trained soldiers, Gods ministers should be trained and Christians should be skilled Christians, in order that their work should accomplish good results.
 The sermon was very earnest one and was listened to with deep attention by large audience.

Climatic.

Specialists, as well as the medical profes- sion generally, agree that in cases of nasal affections, which are prevalent in this changeable climate, 8 direct application should be used. It is desirable to have one that, while it is harmless and effective, will not be disagreeable.
 A physician who has usefully observed the effect of Borazel in more than fifty cases pronounce it the ''True Remedy for Nasal Catarrh.'' D
 In some cases which have been reported to us it seems to have accomplished all that could be desired.
 The little pamphlet issued free, stating some of the merits of this remedy, can be ob- tained from the general agent, Dr. E. l.. Washburn 84 Church street
 It certainly contains some excellent hints to those subject to catarrh and other affec- tions of the air passages, which all who re- main in New Haven this winter may do well to read.

Three RoYs nroWned.

About 3:3O boy named Storm, aged sixteen, son of widow, broke through the ice. His cries for help were responded to by two brothers named Botah, aged about twelve and fourteen, who in attempting to rescue the drowning boy were themselves drawn into the water Be. fore help arrived all three of the boys had passed under the ice. Their bodies were re- covered within half an hour. Drs Way, of Bristol, and Buell., of Plainville, worked hard to resuscitate the boys, but without avail.
