The Quarterly Meeting of the Directors
Yesterday Amernoon-New Depot in
Ansonia-The Road and the City-A
"Reminiscences.
The quarterly meeting of the New Haven
and Derby Railroad company was held yes
terday afternoon at the Office of the company
in this city. Besides the regular routine bus
mess discussion was heard on the subject of
a new depot for the road in Ansonia. It was
the sense of the meeting that a new depot
was needed and it was substantially agreed
that it would be the right thing to do to
build it next spring. The relation of the
road to the city and the recent public discus
sion and decision by the city government on
the subject was touched upon. It was the
sense of the meeting that the terms offered
by the road to the city were equitable and
fair, and to the mutual interests of both. A
gentleman present, speaking of the matter,
instanced Connecticut case, citing the Col
hnsville Axe company. Here, he said, was a
company which got into tight spot forty OF
more years ago. The company could do no
better than to offer their creditors stock of
the company. This was accepted and the
creditors made good thing in SO doing, the
stock of the company having been gilt-edged
and paying 10pef cent for many years.

THE BIG FOUR

When the curtain rose at the American
Theater last evening Billy Williams, the ia
vorite comedian, made his bow in ''Sophies
Supper" after an absence of several months,
and the warmth of the greeting awarded him
testified to the hold he has on the patrons of
the American He has lost none of his old
time humor and while he was on the boards
the audience were not kept long between
laughs. The Big Four, Smith, Waldron,
Cronin and Martin, in their specially, early
in the Morning" made a tremendous hit and
were recalled several times. Their after
piece, ga Bunch of Key VESTS" was very
funny and gave wide scope for some very
brilliant merry making. Miss Alice Glea-
son, the serio-comic singer, made big hit,
and her fine singing warranted it. Booker
and Leigh are fine comedy team and their
Assurance" caught on with the audience.
Altogether the entertainment last evening
was up to the high standard maintained at
the American, and Manager Eldridge should
be sustained for his enterprise by large
houses at every performance.

EDWIN BOOTH.
The terrible storm of the day subsidized at
about o'clock last evening, and though it
yet continued threatening, Carll's was crowd
ed to hear Booth in "Ruy Bias" and ''Don
Caesar de Bazan." After the sketch of the
plays which appeared in our columns yester-
day we may but mention the delineation of
some of the characters and their reception.
Mr.. Booth draws ''Ruy Bias in full accord
with Victor Hugo's ideal. He is dreamer but
no visionary, fiery, imprisoned youth,
one "who wears the Wallets garb," but is
none in spirit, who respects his poor country
mans rights and wishes to protect them. He
is ambitious, but it is for his country and
Queen-in love but not SO much so
as not to regard the laws of station
of subject. You can see this proud free
spirit chatting under its stewardship. AS
termined, yet always humorous. To spend
words upon Mr.. Booths acting is unnecessa-
~, his name alone can typify it. AS Don
Salluste in the tragedy and Don Jose
in the comedy Mr.. Charles Kent
acquitted himself with credit as a
courtier villain who understands the
trickery of state. You hate him almost be-
fore you know it. Thus you praise his act
ing. Mr.. Alfred Hudson, who is ever mas
ter of his part, excellent and well Sec
onded by Miss Kate Ryan. Miss Annie
Clarke, the leading lady of the Boston Mu-
scum, where she is great favorite, imper-
sonated the role of Queen with dig
nifty, grace, beauty and tenderness. Miss
Blanche Thompson, who was chief support
in the comedy, made a most delightful gyp-
sy maiden and her speech to Don Jose as
being a woman and beautiful was well de-
livered. Possibly she did not rise to the de-
mands of the character in other parts of the
play. The plays were excellently well pro-
duced. and after every act but one Booth
was called before the curtain. The audience
was very enthusiastic and applauded repeat

be said that after his death it would be as
serted that he was not of sound mind, and he
wanted them to test him and see if his mind
was clear.
After his death his vault was opened. A
package of e25, 900 in stocks and bonds was
found with the name of the mother Of Fannie
Eubanks written on it as its owner. This
amount was not mentioned in the will in any
manner, and the S25, 900 was turned over to
the woman by the executors. 1t is asserted
that Dixon bad no right to give this mulatto
woman, although she was his child, his land
ed estate, amounting to IL 900 acres of the
best land in middle Georgia, as it will injure
those owning lands adjoining.
The mother of Fannie Eubanks is very
quiet, inoffensive woman, and when any of
Mr.. Dixon's friends visited him she would
wait on his guests. and never put herself for
ward She always seemed to recognize the
fact that she was a servant She v ould often
visit Sparta to trade, and some OF Mr.. Dix
on's friends, to whom she would bring things
from the plantation. would invite her to din
ner. She would always prefer having her
dinner sent to the kitchen, where she would
eat with the servants.

A CODOred Heiress.

A despatch from Sparta, Ga, to the New
York Sun. says:
The will of David Dixon. in which he LETT
$500 600 to his daughter, a mulatto, is Great
ing wide interest here. The woman, Fannie
Eubanks, is living IN good style in Augusta
MIR. Dixon years ago offered S25, 900 to any
respectable white man who would marry her
A young man named Eubanks, a graduate of
the University of Georgia, accepted Mr.
Dixon's proposition, and took the girl North,
and they were married in Boston. He brought
a certificate from that place showing that
they were legally married. Eubsnks brought
her home, and was well provided for on one
of Dixon's plantations. He lived with his
duskv bride several years. raising two chill
dren by her. Eubanks died several years
ago, and left Fannie dsshing widow.
Mr.. Dixon took her and her two children
back TO his home. where they lived until he
had fine house built for them near his own,
and there Fannie Eubanks and her mother
lived until Dixon's death. He made his will
and then sent for the family to come down
to his house, together with other witnesses,
and informed them that he had made his will,
that no one but his lawyer and himself knew
what was in it, and that he wanted them all
to witness his signature. After signing the
document and having it properly witaessed,

Canning Fruits.

The secret of successful canning of
fruits and vegetables is an open one.
Certain conditions being insured. failure
is out of the question. The fruits (and
vegetabes) must be just ripe, freshly
gathered, and perfect of their kind. All
germs in the cans, received by contact
with the air. or otherwise, must be de-
stroyed bv heat. in the form of boiling
water, and all germs of microscopic ami
NAL or vegetable life in the fruits-germs
of fungus growth or of fermentation
must also be destroyed.
Then the air must be effectually ex-
cluded from the cans. so that all germs
will be kept out. The surest way of Sc
curing all these conditions is to put the
fruit into the cans, and after partially
sealing them, put the cans into cold water.
raise this to boiling point. and keep it
there till the contents are sufficiently
cooked then remove from the water and
seal tightly. and turn the cans on end. If
they leak. they are liable to ferment; if
they do not leak no air can enter to carry
the seeds of fermentation into the can.
But this is slow work where one carries
on the business in the family on large
scale. and with suitable precautions one
can can two. three or dozen cans at once
as safely as one, and with as good results.
Have a kettle that will hold at least two
cans. and larger kettle is preferable, and
while the fruit is cooking in that. enough
can be prepared to replenish it each time
it is emptied.
The shorter the time consumed in get
ting the fruit from the tree, or the vegeta-
bles from the garden into the cans, the
better. All fruit that has to be peeled
darkens by exposure to the air.and should
be placed. as soon as the skin is removed
in cold water. If more than two quarts
at time are cooked, it is difficult to dc
the cooking evenly. That at the bottom
of the kettle will be done sooner than tina,
at the top, and if one stirs the fruit while
cooking. its shape is likely to be injured.
For very nee canning it is better to put
the fruit into cans as soon as peeled, cover
with liquid, syrup or water, put on the
rubbers, tops and rings, and cook till done
in water raised slowly to the boiling point
Then seal tightly.

in the former, cans, covers and rubbers
should be immersed in boiling water be
fore the cans are filled.
Boiling hot fruit or water may be poured
into cans without breaking them, if they
are first placed on very wet towel, anC
a silver spoon is put in them.

Laundry Lessons.

Before beginning to wash. all the bed
linen and underclothing should be placed
by themselves, the table linen and tea
towels put in another pile, the fannels
treated similarly, while colored clothes
should be laid aside to wash last. Stains
of all kinds on clothes should be washed
out before they are laid aside for the reg
ular wash. Spots on table linen usually
yield readily to soap and warm water !;
wine stains should be covered with salt,
wet. and rinsed out; fruit stains may be
removed by pouring boiling water over
them before they are wet; coal oil and
common baking soda mixed in equal parts
will have the same effect To remove ink
stains, dip the part in hot tal.ow, or wash
in new milk If the clothes are iron mold
ed, use oxalic acid, which will also re-
move mildew Paint can be washed
from any article by rubbing with lard and
then washing.
As to the time clothes should be boiled
great difference of opinion exists. Some
very excellent authorities on the subject
condemn the practice, and advise scaldlng
instead: if boiled, it should only be for
ten or fifteen minutes, as long boiling is
sure to discolor clothes; after they are
scalded or boiled, add blue water and
wash clean through the suds, then rinse
through plenty of clear cold water before
taking through the process of bluing. then
wiring as dry as possible; and this is one
of the most important operations of the
work. as clothes with the water lett in
them will be streaked and yellow. There
are now so many excellent wringers that
every family should be supplied with one
but if the clothes are wrung by hand, they
should be gathered in a twist evenly. and
then wrung with gentle squeezing mo-
ton until the water is all extracted. As
soon as wrung, all garments should be at
once shaken from their fold and hung out
to dry.
Colored prints and muslins require very
careful washing in two soapy waters (no
soap being rubbed on them) and rinsing
in clear cold water. In washing colored
articles there are great number of ways
by which the color may be preserved in
such as are liable to fade. For bluffs,
grays, or any very delicate colors. table
spoonful of black pepper to bucket of
water will set the color. If boiled in vine
gar. black cotton goods will never lose
their freshness. OK gall is also excellent
to preserve colors, and is particularly USE
full in washing delicate tinted stockings,
All coored goods should be hung IN the
shade to dry.
Merino, wooden, and silk underclothes
and stockings are very easily spoiled in
washing. None but the best soap should
be used, and it should be dissolved in hot
water. Do not rub the wooden clothes.
