The Fresh Air Fund.
 NJ11rr IT ArvrEY Ar~ If


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I desire to call attention to our City mission 'tfresh air fund.-" the usefulness and helpfulness of which we are endeavoring to extend from year to year. Until this year we have only undertaken to send members of families most needing it into the coun- try for week or two, and the members of the mothers meeting and of the children's school either to the east or west shore for a single day during the summer. The ex- pense of this has generally been about one hundred dollars.
 This year we are doing, through our wo- mans department, the same as before, but believing should be expressing the gener- ous feelings of those who would be glad to add to our fund for this purpose, I have ar ranged for at least days outside enjoyment for some of those whose only home is at one of our public institutions.
 The people at the Home for the Friendless will spend the day at Lighthouse Grove to- morrow. Next week the children at the county home will have a "shore day" at Savin Rock, and the children at the Day nursery will be given ride to the shore or to the Park or into the country, as may be preferred. From both hospital and aims uouSe tnose Nno aro SelocGoO Dy 6no oIHceTs in charge will be sent to the shore for a day, carriages being furnished for such as are paralyzed or are otherwise too helpless to go by themselves on the cars. l mention this in order to say also that additional funds are needed to successfully carry through this which is now being done, and should be we'll done for the comfort and encourage ment of those whose misfortune it is to be included among our worthy poor.
 Respectfully yours,
 W. D. MossMAN,

How to Tell tn. Time by Night.

Qrom the Buffalo. N. Y. 'Times)
 Perhaps the most ingenious thing 1n the way of an advertising novelty that has come out for many years, is a unique con trivance issued by the Duffy Malt Whiskey Company, Baltimore. Md, pro pr1etors of Duffy's pure malt whiskey. Unlike most things of the kind, with which the country has been deluged heretofore, this is decided departure from the usual rut, and aside from being one of the most attractive things we have ever seen, it involves 8 new discovery 1n science which is both interesting and 1n- structiye. So valuable was this discovery regarded it was awarded 8 first prize gold medal at the Brussels International FIX position, and it seems almost nke prostituting science to put 1t to adver- Using purposes as it is something that IS invaluable to institutions Of learning, ana would readily command good price II put on sale. However, the Duffy people, appreciating it's importance. have gotten it out Tn the highest artistic style, such as will secure for it a permanent place ID every house in the country.
 The device is called Duffy's Anclens Mariners Stellar Time-Piece, its object being to furnish guide whereby the cor rect time may be ascertained at any hour of the night. by observance of the North Star and three other bright stars near 1t, the four stars forming a Cross or Crucit1x, which revolves round the celestial pole like the hands Of clock. By the aid of the Duffy's device, which represents a miniature Armament and tabular dial, the time can be ascertained almost to the m1n- ute which is destined to render it invalu- able to Mariners, Hunters, Fisherman and to the masses generally, as after little practice, even child will be able to tell the time at night
 Although the device is quite an expen- sive one, the proprietors intend distribut- ing it free and in time everybody in the country will have one. Requests for same by mail, must be accompanied by six cents in postage stamps addressed to their Sup ply Department, as already they are flooded with applications.

 Kate For The Fall Trade-Stocks Go
 Down Hut Recover some of The De
 cline Before The Close.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 12.
 Stock speculation for the time is governed by the money market The advance in the rate of loans during the past few days has brought out some long stocks. The calling in of loans during the past few days, of which there has been consider able by the banks, has not been induced so much by any shortage of funds as by the desire on the part of the banks to get the rate Of money up to six per cent for the fall trade. One broker yester day bid the rate up to forty per cent but this is looked upon part of scheme to get the rate to six per cent. As a consequence of the unsettled condition of things stock speculation was irregular to-day. Prices f1uctuated frequently on compar- ativey small volume spectators evidently not be- ing desirous to make any venture until there are more definite developments in regard to money At the opening this morning prices were bid up fractonally, but soon after the opening, steady unloading, the market went gradually down and at noon prices showed declines ranging from A to 134 per cent, except in the cases of Manhattan Ele- vated, Colorado Coal and New Jersey Central which were $ to 1ss per cent. higher. The most active stocks were Texas Pacific, Erie, Lackawan na and Kansas & Topeka. The sales amounted to S9 900 shares until noon. After midday the market was weak and prices went lower until 1:3O on @ very light trading. Prices gave on every sale and about the bottom figures were current just before the second call. In the last hour there de cded change in the temper of speculation. About this time a further reduction in exchange. which interpreted to mean the transfer of money from London to this city, and the announcement of an advance in the price of coal together with report that call for 900 United States bonds would be made this week, caused rush to cover and resulted in recovery from the lowest point The closing figures, however, were I to 115 per cent. lower than those of yesterday. The sales for the day aggregated 2254 416 shares.
 Money loaned at 7aS per cent, but closed at 4a5 per cent
 Exchange was weaker. Posted rates, 4.s3@ 4.S5; actual rates, 4.S23404.S3.

wOeDBURx,s TRAGEDY.

The Murdered Woman Buried Tester.
 day-Her Murderer Bound over To
 The Superior COurt-The Murderer
 Frenzfed For Want of Chloral When
 The Deed Was Committed.
 WooDBURY, Conn, Aug. 12.-Mrs. Rob- ert Drakely, the murdered bride, was buried to-day in the village cemetery. The excite
 ment over the murder has not abated and people are much puzzled to find the motive for the young husbands awful crime. It is
 believed by all who knew Mrs. Drakely that she was an upright woman. Later develop ments in the case show that it was not rum that was predisposing cause of the mur- derer's excitement, as was at first supposed,
 but chloral. Drakely was addicted to the use of chloral in large quantities. Those who noticed him soon after the shooting saw that he was was not in a normal condition and at once determined that he was drunk. He was under the influence of ch1oral or crazy for want of it. It is possible that the ill- fated woman first realized what her boy husbands habits were on the night of the shooting. She may have tantalized him in his half crazy condition or reproached him for his slavery to the drug and thus brought upon herself the fatal shot, or there may have been 8 quarrel.
 As yet Drakely has not spoken of his aw- ful crime except to make the bare statement that he killed his wife. Judge Huntington of Woodbury, States attorney of Litchfeld county, was interviewed yesterday. He has no doubt that Drakely shot himself, and thinks he was not in his right mind. The mur- derer spent last night at Constable Cart rights house in custody of deputy sheriff. He spent a very uncomfortable night and complained of his wounds, which were very painful.
 The funeral services over Mrs. Drakely took place at o'clock this afternoon. The services were conducted by the Rev. Mr.
 Bowles of the Bethlehem Episcopal church. The services were short and simple and at- tended by large number of people.
 The preliminary trial of the murderer was held this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. The Town hall was crowded with spectators. Justice Kelly opened the Superior court. States Attorney Huntington appeared for the State. The prisoner as yet has no coun- sel. His father is dead. His guardian, MT. Thomas of Baltimore, has been sent for.
