Copied from a Portrait 23O Years Old.
 When Elihu Yale founded that time hon. ored institution of learning, Yale College, he struck blow at ignorance that has rever- berated for more than two centuries through out the length and breadth of the land, and placed his name in the foremost rank of Americas public benefactors. But greater scourge than ignorance is now running rampant in our midst. Do you know what ails you when you have dull headache no appetite; nothing tastes good that you eat; specks pass before your eyes; low spirits; an irritable and peevish temper; bowels con- stipated; an appearance of red sor white brick dust in the urine; tired feeling and don't know what ails you? You have fallen a victim to that modern scourge, Mdt0rSG Nothing on this earth will tone you up so quickly and arrest the progress of Malaria as Lewis Red Jacket Bitters, the only sure cure for Dumb Ague, Chills and Fever, and all forms of Malaria Don't wait till you are on your back but begin at once the use of Lewis Red Jacket Bitters.

Direct Connection Between Meriden
 And The Coal Region.


 Meriden, Conn.,, expects soon to have di- rect connection with the Pennsylvania coal regions, says correspondent of the Repub- hcan. At present coal is received by way of the Lehigh valley, Elizabethport and New Haven, necessitating three transfers, and putting freight charges 20 per cent. higher than the city feels willing to pay. A num- Der of leading capitalists, in connection with the Standard Oil company and the New York and New England, will build at once con- necting line between Waterbury and Meri- den. The line surveyed by three Penn sylvania engineers begins at the Consolidated depot in Meriden, runs along by the Water bury plank road and on the banks of the Mad river to the New York and New En- gland depot in Waterbury, distance of IS miles through easy country. The estimated cost of the work will be less than $200, ,000 Such line will give Meriden direct con- nection with the West and in case of the ex- tension of the New England to the Harlem river it will give strong competing line to New York city

Election Of Directors and OfNcerS-Cs Sc

 r Directors of the new road were elected at the stockholders meeting yesterday as fol- lows: S. E. Nerwin, James D. Dewell, H. H. Bunnell, Wnr. J. Atwater, F. s. Andrew, Herrick F. Frost, c. s. Bushnell, all of New Haven. and Wm. E. Downes and Edward N. Shelton, of Birmingham, and one or two others. The directors elected the following officers: President, c. s. Bushnell; secretary, 0. J. Bushnell; treasurer, Herrick P. Frost; attorney for the company, Morris F. Tyler. At the meeting very hopeful views were ex- pressed as to the bright future of the enter prise. The road would prove large benefit to New Haven in affording an outlet for trade and as 8 means of increasing the trade at New Haven stores from out of town custom CTS. Already the road has been surveyed and a profile and other necessary papers have been lodged at the Secretary of States office in Hartford also the ice has been broken as to getting the right of way. Already considerable has been done in this direction, and what has been done is most gratifying, as showing the spirit existing all along the route strongly favora- ble to the building of the road. Several inn portant land owners have already donated right of way through their respective territo ries. It was the estimate of director last night that the cost of building the road will be from $4OO, ,OO0 to $500, ,000.
 MT. O. s. Bushnell speaks enthusiastically of the value the new road will be to New Haven, and says it is unquestionably sure to be success in due time.

NEW RAILROAD PROJECTS.

A Line From Derby to HawIeyvflIe-
 A Company Organized-Advanta
 to New Haven of the Connections to
 be Gained-DtrectOrs and Officers
 Elected Yesterday-The Road to Cost
 About Half mtIlion-Meriden and
 the Coal Fields.
 Yesterday afternoon preliminary meeting was held at the office of Morris F. Tyler for the purpose of organizing 8 stock company to build railroad to be known as the Hous- atomic Valley Railroad company. This scheme'grows out of the recent change of control in the New York & New England road. The capital stock will be placed at $175, ,000 Among the twenty-seven stock holders are: J. D. Dewell, c. s. Bushnell, General S. E. Merwin, F. S. Andrew and H. P. Frost of this city, and E. N. Shelton, M. nell, of Birmingham. It is their purpose to construct g railroad from Derby to Hawley- vile, where it will connect with the New York 6 New England. the Housatonic and the Danbury 6 Norwalk. At Birmingham it will connect with the New Haven 6 Derby road, thus securing entrance into New Haven for western freight by way of Albany and Montreal. The contemplated road will be about fifteen miles in length and it is claimed will shorten the distance to Albany at least fifty miles. The proposed route runs almost due west from Birming- ham along the bank of the Housatonic river. The grade is nearly level and the expense of building the road will be com paratively small. It is thought there will be little difficulty in securing the right of way required. A connection at Hawleyville will as stated bring Albany at least fifty miles Naxrr o,,l nication with the great anthracite coal region in Pennsylvania. Flour, grain, lumber, beef, and in fact the entire product of the great West and Northwest will be trans ported to this city over the new line.
 Completion of the Storm King bridge at Poughkeepsie will still further increase the value of the Housatonic Valley railroad The New York and Portchester railroad from Danbury to New York, which is now being pushed to completion by the New York and New England company, will establish a new route between New Haven and New York.
 New Haven's wholesale grocers will, with such railroad, be able to compete with those of Waterbury and Bridgeport. For many years our wholesale grocers and tea merchants have, in order to keep their cus- toners along the lines of the Housatonic and Shepaug railroads, sold goods as cheap the Bridgeport dealers, and in addition have city and Bridgeport. When the new road is completed they will be nearly ten miles near CT these customers than their Bridgeport competitors and consequently will be in 8 position to sell goods cheaper and at better profit to themselves. The trade that now centers in Bridgeport and Waterbury will naturally be diverted to this city. It is said that the New York and New England man agers having secured controlling interest in the Housatonic railroad, the projectors of the with the three roads which it is to connect with.
