soHooNER JAMES c. BRKoHEa


 Launched at ESQ o'clock Yesterday Morning From Harrisonss Shipynrsl In Fair Raven.
 At 11:2o o'clock yesterday morning the four-masted schooner, James G. Beecher, was launched from Harrison's shipyard in Fair Haven. Crowds of people surrounded the big vessel for an hour or two before the time for launching arrived. The decks of the many boats lying in the Quinnipiac river were also file with spectators, as were the decks of the James G. Beecher themselves There were fully 500 people who rode down the slide with the big vessel. Captain Sea- man, the host of the occasion, was ably as- sisted by James G. Beecher in entertaining the many guests. Captain Seaman's four- teen-year-old daughter Maud, who has broken the customary bottle of wine over the bows of four vessels, the John H. Tingue, w. W. Convene. H. Fl. Hanscom, and a schooner in Long Island, dashed the champagne against the knightheads, as the stays were knocked away, and the new schooner was formally ohristened the James G. Beecher.
 The vessel slid down and became firmly tmbedded in the mud bank. The big tug Rambler was unable to pull her off, and there the immense vessel will remain till four big Sound tugs which Captain Seaman has telegraphed for, come to the rescue. In week the sails will be built, and tho James G. Beecher will sail for Charleston, s. O., where she will bs loaded for foreign port. Captain Seaman will be accompanied as far as Charleston by Captain William E. Alling, James G. Bsecher, Samuel Harrison, of North Branford, and Stephen Bradley, of

The Boys Are Happy.

Last evening more than 300 members of the Lincoln Boys Club cor. Goffs and Spring streets were given the privilege of gymns- sium which has been fitted up in one of the adjoining rooms. To say the boys thorough ly appreciate and enjoy this additional club feature is expressing their gratitude very mildly. The club is in connection with the Work for Boys of the committee of Christ ian workers In tho United States and Canada of which Rev. John Collins Is general super intendsnt and John 0. Eastman secretary for Connections. Grateful acknowledgment Is made to the following gentlemen who have 90 willingly contributed material and time toward this measure for physical develop ment Gen. E.

THE NATIONAL GAME.
more Dsssrsions From she Brother hood.

hood.
 TzRnz HAuTH, Ind, Dec. 23.-Second
 Baseman Meyers and Left Fielder Thompson
 of last years Philadelphia Leaens club to-day
 at Indianapolis signed three years contract ct handsome increase of salary with the club. Meyers received $2, 500 last year. The fourteen men of the club last year agreed to 20 into the Brotherhood. Before Meyers and Thompson signed Mulvey, Gleason, Sohrivsr, Decker and Clements had signed with the League.
 Hanlon In she City Trying Co Get Cor coran for she Brotherhood. Ned Hanlon is in town. He has . mission,
 which Is to try to get Tommy Corcoran to
 sign with the Brotherhood. He is wanted
 for the Pittsburg team. When the Brother hood started out its leaders stated that the minor league clubs would not be disturbed,
 as tho only players that were wanted were then in the National league. How they have kept their word can be seen from the present action of Hanlon. He has been making over tures to large number of minor league play
 srs. This is probably because the Brother hood is in serious straits. It is evident that
 before spring comes the larger share of the
 present National league players will return
 te the fold, and the teams must be made up of playern or leseor note. Will Corcoran signi Will he desert tho
 club that has placed him in his present posi-
 tioni Will he bo classed as among that class of players who regard few allnring dollars
 superior to fairness and hdelityi
 It seems as if he was in duty bound to
 stay with tho New Haven team another year. But for its management he would not have
 been seen on the ball field last season, and would not have made the mark that he did.
 He was blacklisted by the Wilkesbarre club. The New Haven management stepped in and
 signed him, taking the risk of suit in the
 courts. All the expenses were borne by the
 company. Finally settlement was ar- ranged, and the New Haven management
 handed over $500 for Corcoran's release. The New Haven management has used
 Corcoran squarely, and the COURIER can hard
 ly believe that he will desert the men who had stood % faithfully by him. If he leaves in the way Hanlon wants him to he will loss the respect of many of his friends. To what straits Hanlon has been put in orgsniz- ing the Pittsburgh team, Is shown by the fact that he is after minor ieague men, being unable to sst National league plsyers.

 Railroad bond sales reached $i,4S9.o00. The wabash iszass were the active spot in the market and the seconds contributed $tso00o to the total, though they were surpassed by Texas and Pacific eeconAs, which furnished $247,o00. Northwestern csnsols rose to IA, Duluth, South Shore and At lantic frsts to s6, Houston fives to i0s, New Orleans and Mobile seconds 116 to l1o, Reading sec onds to 5o and Manitoba fours to e7, while Chi cago, St. Louis and Northern consols lost at 1ls1S, Central Pacific sixes 1N at i151 and Iron Mountain seconds lk at 106.
 Stocks opened strong. The bullish feeling was stiff in the Gould stocks and Missouri Pacific which led the market in both activity and strength, rose te . shade above its highest prices of last week, touching 74N. The high figures induced sales for the short account. however, and the improvement and stop-orders being uncovered on the way down, with no support apparent, the drop reached per cent. before the movement came to . halt The money market began to work clearer in the after noon and rates on call were as high as per cent, which. a the traders were inclined to be of bear ish turn, resulted In the sh ading of prices all the list, though the declines were the same Him. tied scale as the early advances. Pacific Mail was quite prominent in the first few minutes trading after Il o'clock but fell again, and later in the day Denver. Texas and Fort Worth became prominent for it's weakness, hut outside of these stocks there was no feature whatever to the mar. kst. The close was dull and rather heavy.

Prof. FowIer surprised.

The Amphion singing society, after their usual Monday evening rehearsal in the lec- ture room of St. Paul's church, last night, adjourned, and their leader, Prof. F. A. Fowler repaired to his rooms in the Austin building on Chapel street, to give music lesson to pupil. While thus engaged, the sound of many feet was heard upon the stairs, and the society burst in upon the professor much to his surprise, the plot pre- pared by the society having been most suc- cessfully carried out. Prof. Fowler was then presented with beautiful fire screen of oaken frame and rich cloth hangings. MT. Frank D. Young spoke for the society in presenting it; he thanked the professor foc his kindly teaching and care of the fifty members of the Amphion club during times past, and asked him to accept the present as token of their appreciation and good will in this holiday season. The professor, standing, responded to the speech briefly, yet with heart, saying that nothing was 50 pleasant with him as the conducting of the society, and that such a manifestation of their good wishes encour- aged him to exert himself in behalf of the society even more actively in the future The occasion was merry little gathering of some thirty-6ve young ladies and gentlemen, and the society is in g prosperous condition.

The Money is Returned. l.

Evelyn M. Andrews, who disappeared from Nsugatuck three years ago and who was supposed to have been murdered in Nau- gatuck, turned up last Saturday. Andrews belonged to the New Haven Mutual Benefit association, and his wife received S2,000 when her husbands death was reported. The money was paid on 6 bond, however, in which Mrs. Andrews agreed to return it if it should appear that her husband was not dead. Fred H. Waldron, the secretary of the association, said yesterday morning that the money had already been returned and the association will consequently lose noth- ing. At the time of his disappearance An. drews had an insurance of SIG, 1000 on his life, but the company refused to settle. Mrs. Andrews is now living with her father in Moosup.

ssGrandmothero Bradley,s Hermit
 Life.

TxRRYvnLE, Dec. 22.-"Grandmother' Bradley, who was found dead Thursday morning outside of her door, has passed 8 hermit life in @ little cabin, five miles south of this village. Deputy Coroner Ferguson decided that death resulted from old age and exhaustion. The woman was a widow, eighty years old. Little is known of her life and relatives. The cabin is hardly eight feet high, and short and narrow in proportion. It stands in . little fence corner close to Q grass-grown byway over which few persons ever pass, and is at the base of an abrupt mountain ledge which towers high above the hut. The nearest ncighbor was nearly a mile away, and Granny" would tolerate no familiarity. She was perfectly content to be entirely shut of from humanity and was never seen away from her home. She deriv- ed her support mostly from gardening and from large flock of hens. Coroner Fergu- son found evidence that she had relatives outside of the State and ordered the town authorities to have the body preserved until they could be notified.

Did Nos Help it . Hit.

TO the Editor or the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 A big scow load of spectators upon the schooner did not help launching the new schooner bit. If they had been ordered aft, their weight would have depressed the stern. Then as soon as the schooner struck water, If the commander had issued another order for all spectators that wanted to enjoy the sport to scamper forward, that motion would tighten the stern and increased the velocity of the vessel 100 percent and so probably carried her stern away quickly over the slip- pery flats in which sec stuck.
