A Connecticut Salmon Fishery.

NORWICH, Conn.,, Feb. 16.-Decades ago he rivers Thames, Shetucket and Quinebaug abounded with salmon which grew to great proportions, many having been caught weigh ing seventy pounds. But with the ad- vent of navigation upon the Thames the large schools of salmon were driven from their usual haunts and have been seen no more. Z R. Robbins, a hunter, fisher and general supporter of gentlemanly sports, has scheme for stalking out an extensive fishing ground in the Quinebaug. Weirs will be constructed ill the Shetucket, at the Green vile dam, which will form the entrance to the fisheries. A chute will be built at the Greenville end, so Nat the salmon can get out into the Thames and to the sea- The Shetucket and Quinebaug rivers are free from navigation and are unusually favorable for the propagation of salmon. The plan has been favorably received and the work of lay ing out the fishery will be begun at once, after which the eggs will be planted and the salmon will grow.

A PHILADELPHIA MYSTERY.
An Insane wife's Disappearance Followed
 by That of Her Husband.

An Insane Wife's Disappearance Followed
 by That of Her Husband.
 PHILADELPHIA, Feb l6-Joseph Meyer, a wealthy boot and shoe dealer of Twelfth and Spruce streets, has disappeared without warn- ing, owing to troubles arising from his wife's insanity. Mrs Meyers dementia took the form of persecution of her neighbors, through a delusion that in this way she was conserv- ing the welfare of her religious faith.
 One of her fancies was that self purfication was only attainable through the medicinal and in consequence she was constantly to be seen dipping up the liquid and drinking It.
 The annoyances became so great that the neighbors finally joined in the petition that she should be removed to some public institu- tion for treatment.
 Three weeks ago & patrol wagon drove up to Mir. Meyers door, containing Police Sur geon Andrews and his assistant.
 The woman divined the object of the visit and managed to elude the officer by getting out on skyhght and secreting herself until the wagon had driven away again.
 Mrs. Meyer slipped out afterwards, and re- pairing to residence at Ninth and Spruce streets told the occupants pitiful story, and was housed over night. Having been given a sumptuous breakfast the next morning she disappeared. She has not been seen since 1t was discovered that the house had been vacated and that Mir. Meyer had disappeared as mysteriously as his wife.
 The authorities will institute an investiga- ton. The couple owned the house in which they lived, and were highly respected.
