 in New York.
 The strife between the New York and New England and the Consolidated rail road for the upper hand has begun in earnest. These lively competitors for the freight traffic of southern New Eng land not only have Connecticut for a battle ground, but New York also.
 The New York and New England peo- pie are now having little symposium of their own in New York city. Jabez A. Bostwick, the president of the New England, who is also the treasurer of the Standard Oil company, has locked horns with metropolitan organization called the East River Water Front Protective association and it has been said that there will be blood on the moon before they separate. MT Bostwick has succeeded in leasing from New York city pier No 36, at the foot of Jefferson street, for twenty years, at rental of S15,O00 a year. It is virtually the only deep water pier on the East river.
 MT Bostwick denies that he has leased the pier in the interests of the Standard Oil company. He says that company has nothing whatever to do with it and that what oil is handled there will be handled in the line of the business of the New England Terminal company.
 The company has already bought a large sound steamboat and a large iron transfer boat, and has contracted for an other transfer boat large enough to trans fer train of nineteen loaded cars. NegC. tiations are also ill progress for the build ing or purchase of the necessary floats and tugs.

wATERpuRy,s men DEATH RATE.
Annual Report of the Bureau of
 Vital Statistics.


 The report of the bureau of vital statis- tics for the year 1887 has been submitted by the secretary, Dr c. A. Lindsley, and is full of information. The popula- ton of the state is estimated at 727 ,275. The total number of births is 16,583, of which S,526 were males. The birth rate was 22.S for each ,000 of population. Of marriages there were 5, ,7SS, and of deaths 12, 1885 or IT for each ,000 of population. Fifty towns registered a greater number of deaths than births.
 There was not a single birth in Pros pect during the year. The highest birth rate is in New Haven county, 26.4 to the 1 ,000, and the lowest in Litchfield county lead among the large towns having 34.5 to the 1000, while Stratford brings up the rear with 14.6. But Beacon Falls maintains its lofty eminence of being the most prolific town of it's size in the state giving a birth-rate of 47.5 per 1000. Of the city towns New Haven leads the others with birth rate of 29.4 while Middletown is last in line with a birth-rate of only 19.3. Of the borough towns Danbury has the highest birth-rate, 2S.9, closely followed by Derby with 2S.6.
 There were 164 children born out of
 
 and 3Oi twin births.
 There were 5,7SS marriages registered during the year 1887, being 291 more than in the year before This is one marriage to every 125' of the population, or marriage rate of 7.G per 1000. | There were 5,159 first-marriage brides; | 594 brides of second marriage; B of third marriage and one who took on the matrimonial yoke the fifth time and is still in the list of the fair, fat and | forty. Of grooms there were 4,67S of no previous experience there were TT making second venture S3 for the third time, and the fourth. There were 3S7 divorces granted during the year. The recorded mortality in 1887 exclu- sive of stillbirth, numbered 12, ,3S5, being | 1 ,2O2 more than in the preceding year. This large excess of registered deaths over 1886 is partly due to- the operation of the new legislation, which required every death to be registered before burial Upon an estimated population of 726 ,27t the death rate was 17.05 per 1000. The deaths of males 6,313, of females 6OO9 The greatest mortality occurred in July and amounted to ,649; the smallest II | November, numbering S23.

 Young Waterbury Man.

Mystery Surrounding the Death of
 Young Waterbury Man.
 The dead body of Thomas l.. O'Neill, aged 21 years, was found by the roadside on Silver street near the factory of Rogers & Bros, yesterday morning, by Charles Tocchio, while on his way to church. Special Officer Phelan, who was doing duty on East Main street was notified and messenger was sent for Medical Examiner North. The body was lying on bank, the head tipped back into pool of wa ter. It was removed to the house of Michael O'Neill, the unfortunate mans brother, who lives at 297 East Main street. No marks or bruises were found upon the body with the exception of a slight abrasion of the skin upon the knees.
 Dr North is not yet satisfied as to the cause of death, and has not given a burial permit. Coroner Mix has been notified of the case and is expected to come to Waterbury upon the 3:5S train this afternoon.
 O'Neill has had several attacks of hem orrhage from the lungs within a short time and was ill poor physical condition. He was out late Saturday night with a party of friends, who left him at an early hour in the morning. From the marks upon his knees it is evident that after he fell exhausted he made a desperate at tempt to crawl to some place of shelter and being unsuccessful died from ex- posture.
 Five young men who are supposed to have been with O'Neill Saturday night have been summoned to appear before Coroner Mix for hearing in the police court room at 4 o'clock.
