 Ex- Superintendent Edwin NcNeil of the Hartford and Connecticut Western railroad now general manager of the St. Joseph and Grand Island railroad, was given 8 gold watch and chain and diamond stud by his former associates and employees Monday | evening, the presentation speech being made by ". A. Garvin, station agent at West Winsted. Mir. McNeil made neat speech of 1 thanks. He is member of the State Senate from the Twentieth district and will prob ably remain at Hartford during the session. The Philadelphia Times says in praise of Rev. George E. Reed: Dickinson college has opened new career by the selection of Rev. pr. George E. Reed to the presidency. Dr. Reed, the new president just called to Car
 lisle to push the venerable college, is prac-
 tioal, common sense, progressive man, ,and he
 will make old Dickinson go to the people in-
 stead of waiting for the people to come to it.
 Of course first-class college president should
 be quite as good pulpit teacher, as pulpit
 teaching is successful only as the teacher has
 learned that "the proper study of mankind
 is man," and Dr. Reed will be missed; but he
 has 8 wide field for usefulness in this new
 calling and he will doubtless give fresh vigor and increased success to the college.

FELL THIRTY.F1vE FEET. A Painters Terrible Fall Yesterday
 From n ERufldfn~.

Yesterday forenoon Charles J. Fitch, a
 house painter living at No. Ill Rosette street
 and employed by John W. Steddard, had a
 terrible fall from the top of a new houss on
 Cedar street just erected by Scott & Son,
 joiners. He had just finished painting the
 peak of the south gable and was descending
 the upper ladder to the swing ladder. which
 was sucurely grappled to the roof. when his weight caused the upright ladder to cant out
 ward, breaking the swing ladder in two. MT. Fish fell about 35 feet, striking on his back on a ladder which lay on the ground. Mr. Stoddard had the patrol wagon summoned
 and endeavored to procure a physician on the ground. The wagon soon arrived and the injured man was conveyed to the hospi- tai. The ladders were all put up securely under Mir. Stoddard's own supervision and the accident was one which occurred through no fault in their erection. The injured man was doing comfortably last evening, with the indications favorable for his recovery unless internal injuries were sustained. Mir. Stod- dard's son, Charles T., was on the upper staging when Mir Fish fell and only saved himself from like terrible fall by grasping the falls and swinging himself into attic
 window. He had most narrow escape.

THE PLANETS OF NIGHT.
Positions Which Each Of Them VIII
 Occupy During January.

Positions Which Each of Them VIII Occupy During January. That peerless beauty of the sky, Venus, continues as an evening star, but she is CO., auettish, and, while moving eastward from the sun, is increasing in size as if to make us cherish her memory when once she becomes a morning star. Friday night she and Mars frisked around 'tthat placid dame" the moon, in conjunction, the crescent being to the south of the planets. Mars overlook and passed his ruddy neighbor last Wednesday night, but the conjunction was invisible. His beauty was never so fascinating and bril- liant as 1t IS at the present time. Mercury is another evening star. On the Both he reaches his greatest eastern elonga- tion and for the week prior and the week subsequent to that date he is visible to the naked eye in the west. He can be found three-quarters of an hour after sunset about seven degrees north of the sunset point. Before the month ends prominent star in the morning sky, rising in the southeast more than two hours before the sun, will be Jup1- ter. On the 31st he will rise at ASA am. Saturn has nearly rearched it's brightest
 phase. He is a morning star, rising on the
 1st at 7:37 p. m. and on the 31st at 5:28 p. m.
 He must be sought for in the northeast, but
 as his beauty during the evening is yelled one
 must necessarily burn the midnight oil some
 time on clear night before he will have the
 supreme satisfaction of viewing Saturn in all
 his glory.
 Uranus is the third of the iliustrious group
 of morning stars. He is in quadrature with
 the sun on his western eide on the 11th at 4
 P. m.

The proceeds will be for the benefit of the treasury of the de- partment.

APPEAL FOB TEE HOSPITAL
The Annual Collections to be Taken f.
 the Churches Next Sunday.


 the Churches Next Sunday. The prudential committee of the hospital, consisting of W. H. Carma1t, Thomas Hook CT and Eli Whitney, jr., have issued the fol- lowing:
 On Saturday and Sundhy, Jan. 12 and 13, 1889, the New Haven hospital will make its annual appeal for aid in carrying on it's charitable work. The equipment of the hospital has been material ly improved during the past year. The an- response to calls and more careful handling of patients The building, just completed, in- creases immensely facilities for surgical work and the treatment of accident At no time has the hospital been well equipped for prompt and efficient treatment of all patients. But though our facilities increased there has been but little addition to funds and we must appeal urgently ever for liberal contribution of money oR HoStipa1 Sunday. The receipts from patients always far below the cost of their sup port, and the income from invested funds is still very small We have to face each year ex- patients and the income from our Investments, and almost the only source from which the money to this be obtained is the gifts of Hos pital Sunday
 Liberal as these gifts have hitherto been we feel confident that as the community each year takes a continue to give yet more and more literally, and will help to make the hosbita more and more eff cient.
 The fine building which Mrs. Henry Far man has provided for the New Haven hospi- tai as 8 memorial for her son, the late Dr. George Bronson Farnam was appropriated to it's use for the first time on Thursday af- ternoon, pr. Carmalt conducting a clinique
