A DAYS PLEASURE.

Excursion ON the Elm City to Mystic
Island.
The large, strong, swift and smoothlyrun-
ming steamboat Elm City promptly left Belle
dock at o'clock a. M and the Canal dock
fifteen or twenty minutes later, taking on
board those arriving by the New Haven &
Northampton railroad direct from the car on
board The boat can finely accommodate
1000 to 200 passengers, and to Captain
Bishop, the officers and owners, as we'll as to
all on board, the number availing of the am
pie accommodation was a disappointment
Only about 1876 or $50 came and enjoyed the
excursion. A fine band was on board and at
intervals gave pieces of choice, lively music.
Parties came from Springfield, Hartford,
Northampton, Holyoke, Meriden and neigh
boring towns, but no large company, even
from our city. The head wind and tide
seemed to affect the steamers speed but lit
tle The sailboats, yachts and other sailing
vessels seemed tossed about and hindered in
their course and strikingly in contrast with
the swift and even running of the Elm City.
Not one was at all seasick. Lunches were
eaten with good relish and all RECALLED

MONTREAL, Aug. 8.-George A. Green Of
Montreal, accompanied by his daughter, left
Ogdensburg yesterday in his steam launch
for Lachine, arriving opposite Lachine last
night about 12 o'clock. Right above the La
chine rapids the Canadian Pacific Railway
company is building bridge over the river
and the men being engaged on the work at
the time the electric lights were burning
brightly. The party in the yacht thought
that these lights belonged to Lachine, SO they
kept on down the river. When the men
work at the bridge at night wire rope is
stretched across from pier to pier so
that the workmen can pass along in their
boats. The launch under full head of
steam came crashing into the rope, capsizing
instantly and throwing the occupants into
the water. The yacht itgelf went rolling
over the rapids Mr.. Gre N could not swim,
80 his daughter, divesting herself of the life
preserver which she had secured, gave it to
her father and then struck out for land She
had not gone far when she heard her father
call for help. She Immediately returned to
his assistance. By this time they had ap-
preached very near to the rapids, but some
of the workmen who had set out in boat
succeeded in rescuing them. Both were
very much exhausted.

SULLIVAN,s FAMILY.


The Sturdy Infant OF the Great New
England F1stIc Prodigy.
From the Providence Journal
While John L. Sullivan, the distinguished
Bostonian, is boxing, hippodroming and pos
ing as Greek god throughout the country,
Mrs. Sullivan and John L. Sullivan, jr., are
living quietly in the town of Warwick, about
dozen miles southwest of this city. After
her unsuccessful attempt to procure divorce
from the champion in December, 1884, Mrs.
Sullivan left Boston and came to reside with
kindred in this State. Mr.. William H. Bates,
one of brothers, lives in the village of Nat
lex, and of her sisters, Mrs. James W. Carr,
resides in Jericho anoter village in the town
of Warwick. With them Mrs. Sullivan and
her infant son have boarded during the past
year and half.
When Mrs. Sullivan first went to Natiek
her husband paid one or two visits to that
locality, but as his wife did not encourage
his visits for some months past he has made
no attempt to interfere with them, and has
apparently lost all interest in their existence.
The champions wife has no desire to renew
their relationship, and she considers her
present circumstances far more comfortable
than those of the former period.
John l.. Sullivan, jr., is now twenty-seven
months old. His mother is a woman of fine
physique and the worlds champion has no
reason to be ashamed of the young Hercules
whom he has begotten. The first season of
the babes existence it took his trainers some
months to get the infant champions stomach
into fighting trim, but during the last two
years he has been as healthy and rugged as
any babe ever was. He is a hard handed,
hard headed little fellow. He plays in the
dirt in all weathers and makes things hum
wherever he is. 1t is said that he has his
fathers own temper; that he gets mad quick
and is quick over it; but when he is in one
of his tantrums things have to stand around,
he emphasizes his displeasure with any
thing he can get hold of, no matter what it
is. He is very intelligent child and is fast
learning to talk. Even before he could talk
he had way of making his wants known
and he was very persistent in getting them
supplied. His strength is phenomenal.
When but six months old he would seize
hold of kitchen chair with one hand and
hold it arms length. One day when he was
about nine months old he was put upon his
feet near a coal hod two-thirds full, when he
seized and lifted it from the floor. Now
when playing in the open air he handles
heavy stones that it would trouble lads of
ten or twelve years to manage. If no acct
dents befall the infant Achilles he will be
heard from in the gladiatorial arena when he
reaches mans estate

Rev. MIR. Meserve at the Church OF the
Redeemer-At Church OF the Ascen-
sion-At other Churches.
Rev. l. G. Meserve, of Davenport church,
preached and conducted the services for
Rev. DR.. J. E. Todd at the Church of the
Redeemer yesterday morning. The tenth
chapter of Romans was read for the lesson,
but the text chosen was the ninth verse of I
Peter, LIST chapter, Receiving the end of
your faith, even the salvation of your souls"
The words teven" and 'tyour'' in the last
clause of the verse, the speaker said, are ital-
icised to show that they are supplied in the
translation and are not in the text in either
the Syriac or the Greek testaments. The
Syriac Greek was the language spoken by
Christ and his apostles and the earliest cop
les of the New Testament are in the Syriac
Greek. This differs only little from the
common Greek language. Canon Farrar
claims that the word ''vour," not found in
either original, should be omitted, making
the clause simply "the salvation of souls.
From this the speaker showed that the end
and object of life is the salvation of the soul;
first ones own soul. Life and sal
walton from God comes into and
abides with the Christian, and
the best proof of such possession
is the power, zeal and ability to bring others
into this light and salvation. Not ourselves
alone and those we can help to bring into
salvation by Christ are all to whom the Cos
pei comes with regenerating power, but to all
everywhere on this earth. All, when con-
verified, are to go forth and preach the gospel
to every creature. Socrates could not be
saved by morality nor Plato by his great
learning. "Seek first, before and above alp,
the kingdom of God, - the goodness, moral-
ty, learning and eloquence may be added.
Riches, fame and the greatest of earth
1y good are nothing without the
possession of Christ in the soul, in whom In
deed all things consist. True religion, re-
vealed only by Christ in the heart, was held
up as the great lesson of the text.
The singing by choir and congregation was
very fine and the hymns most fifty chosen.

Rev. Mr.. McCool of Waterbury, who

This is the second mass said by an italian
priest for the sole benefit of his countrymen
in this State. Father Rivieccio preached
from the gospel of the day. He talked of
Gods immensely and how we, although very
humble moi tails, are privileged to know him
the great Saviour. He was listened to bv
his countrymen with great attention. An
offering was taken up by two italian youths,
the first ever taken by that nationality in
this city. After the mass business meeting
was held, over which Father Rivieccio was
unanimously elected chairman. Paul Russo
was chosen secretary and treasurer. A sub
scription paper was started for a new church
to be built soon. Father Rivieecio subscribed
$25, Paul Russo $50, and altogether about
$500 was taken up before the close of the
meeting. 1t is thought that the needed

Two Brother workmen of Graham
shoot Them In Barrel.Shaped
Boat.
BUFFALO, Aug. S.-Hazlett and Potts, two
eoopers, brother workmen of Graham, who
went through the, whirlpool rapids few
weeks ago, performed the same perilous jour
ney in barrel shaped boat this afternoon.
They left Buffalo with their curious craft
yesterday evening and went down the
river to Chippewa, whence the boat
was conveyed by wegon to the
Maid of the Mist landing on the Canadian
side below the falls. This afternoon fully
one hundred and fifty thousand people from
Buffalo and adjacent towns lined the bridges
and banks to see the men go through the
rapids. At 4 o'clock the men got inside
their boat and were cast off. In a moment
they were in the current and soon were toss
ing in the whirlpool. Twice did the craft
turn complete somersault, but righted and
the little American flag on her stern was
seen waving defiance to the storming
pillows. AS soon as the boat had passed the
rapids, while the spectators were still won
dering if the occupants were alive, Potts
opened the manhole, stood up and cooily
tors A moment later he disappeared and
Hazlett showed himself and waved a flag.
Just one hour from the start the craft made
it's appearance off Queenstown and was taken
in tow by boat. The coopers got out and
clambered into the boat. They are both in
excellent condition and ready to make the
trip again.

A Drunken Mans Assault On Two
Persons, one A Woman-His Arrest
Last Night
Officer Bart Herman was sitting in his COM
Portable arm chair at his residence near West
river last night when Edwin Collyer, keeper
of the Crows Nest, burst in upon him, and in.a
terribly excited manner said that a man was
being murdered over near his hostelry. Of
fcer Herman Immediately donned his hat
Pickett, quite character, had got fighting
drunk and was using knife on Mrs. Maggie
Kelley and Peter Morrissy, another drunkard
With police record.
Pickett was placed under arrest, but not
until after he had inflicted gashes upon Mrs.
Kelley and Aorrissy. Officer Hackett aided
Officer Herman in the arrest. Morrissy was
spirited away by friends Immediately after
the assault. Mrs. Kelley also disappeared.
But her disappearance was short lived. Of
fcers were sent out on the case and succeed
ed in bringing Maggie to police headquarters
in the wagon. She was perfectly sober when
brought in, and bore an ugly cut on her
arm inflicted, it is supposed, by Pickett. Of
fcers were sent out after Morrissy, but did
not succeed in finding him. It is said that
Morrissy was badly wounded. At the police
office last night it was thought that the case
might become serious for Pickett if Mo1rissy
can be found.
Pickett broke into a barn for amusement
during the evening, and just before the fight
ing commenced, near by.
