THE CONTINENTAL SAFE.

All ths Old Line steamers Safe-The
 Continental Anchored In Cow Bay
 The New Haven 0G Captains lsl-
 and-Starin Line Steamers Safe.
 Yesterday fears were entertained for the safety of the steamers Continental and New
 Haven of the Old line. The Continental has been lying off Fort Schuyler for three
 days, and night before last started for this
 city, but did not put in an appearance yes'
 terdsy. To add to the alarm press despatch
 es from New York came to the afternoon
 papers, saying that there was sound steam-
 CT on the rocks off Fort Schuyler and that it
 resembled the Continental. The boat off cials were also somewhat anxious for the New Haven, which left New York at 12 o'clock Thursday night on the regular up trip to this city, but she also failed to put in an appearance yesterday.
 Telegrams of inquiry were sent all along the coast, and yesterday afternoon and about o'clock despatch was received stating that the Continental was safely anchored in Cow Bay, l.. l., and that the New Haven was all right of Captains Island. The c. H. Northam arrived last evening about three hours late. The Sound was still very rough yesterday forenoon and afternoon, but was quieting down somewhat last evening. The Northam's trip last night was a rough one,
 but the fine steamer had proved herself 6 complete master of the heavy seas. The Northam's whistle was blown at five min. utes to Il o'clock.
 The Starin steamers did not reach this port yesterday and no trip was made from here last night. The John H. Stsrin is un. derstood to be safely moored to its dock ir New York city. The Erastus Corning i. | safe. The steamer started from New Yorl Wednesday night, but was obliged to put in to Fort Schuyler, from which place it re | turned to New York yesterday.

TkLEPH0NRs STILL SILENT.

superintendent Baker Hopes 10 Set
 Nearly Two Hundred Agoing To-Day
 All Ready by Monday - Damage
 Through the state.
 Most of the telephones that were silenced
 by the fire in the Yale bank building were
 still dumb:last night. Only the one cable of
 seventy-ive or more wires which runs up
 State street is in working order. Little was done yesterday which showed any material progress in the work of repairing the dam- age, but, nevertheless, the employees of tho company wers busy with the hundreds of wires all through the day and nearly all night. Superintendent Baker said last
 evening that he expected to have two cables
 more in working order by tonight. He thought that at least one hundred and sev- snty-fve wires or possibly two hundred might
 be set agoing again by this evening. This would greatly facilitate matters in business centers. The cables, as soon as they are strengthened out, will be led direct to the Court street head4uartsrs. By Monday Sup erintendent Baker said he hoped to have the entire system again working as well as ever. The damage to lines throughout the State by the heavy storms has been very great in others have been broken by falling poles and tree limbs, and others have been blown down by the wind. Connection with Water bury, either by way of Hartford, Meriden or Ansonia, was utterly impossible at noon. The damage thus far, however, is not as great as might be expected from .he violence of the etorm.

A word About ssThe Poolo spoken of
 in rhe North Haven Annals-Its Lo-
 casion and Medical Virtues-Hew se
 Find It.
 MoNrowEsE, Sept. 12.-In recent nun' ber of those valuable papers by MT. Thorpe' called North Haven Annals, he mentions "The Pool.p Of course every one in the town knows where the Pool is and what 1t Is, but others, who do dot know may be glad of A little information on the subject. On the borders of e large swamp near the center of the town of North Haven there bubble up number of small springs. In pools near by, where the water is still, reddish scum can be seen. These bubbling currents of water which here issue from the surface of the earth arc mineral springs, strongly impregnated with iron, and are good tonic. Why this place is called "The
 Pool" the writer is unable to say. It Is q
 wild place, we'll worth visit, but before laying down route thereto let us say few
 words more about the waters. In the first
 place they are abundant. All who wish tc
 drink of them may help themselves freely
 "without money and without price," Thei,
 curative qualities have been mentioned by
 MT. Thorpe, also the fact that hundreds oi gallons are carried away yearly on account oi
 their we'll known medical properties.
 The writer knows man residing in thii village who delivers these waters to regular
 customers in the city and has done so fel many years. To visit "The Pool" driv' through the main street of this village to { point about one half miles north of thu postofice, where there are four corners. Con tinue northward, following the line of tn telephone wires about half @ mile further This part of the road is not much frequent | ed. Turn of from this road to the right at place where 1t crosses small brook. Thi
 is e by-wsy into the woods and not regula highway. It leads to the springs and be yond. The springs are a short distance iron 1 the main road and are easily found. T reach this place from North Haven center take the main street past the railroad dspo eastward. Continue up the hill past the rec tory of the Episcopal church; turn the frs right corner and then the first left afte crossing two small brooks. "visitors al ways welcome"

Fat, Ragged and saucy.

The Acquenucksquewauks club of Dan- bury is twenty year old club. Black Rock, Bridgeport. has been the scene of the olubs outing for the last fifteen years. A day or two ago the club outing for 1889 took place. A member in the account of 1t to the Dan bury News says:
 Jerry Smith of New Haven, has forty thousand bushels oysters planted at Black Rock, and those we sampled of the lot were fat, ragged and ssuoy, and of excel- lent flavor. Besides accommodating the home market, he ships large quantities of them to Europe. MT. Smith says that those pests to the oystermsn, the starish and conch drill. arc doing much damage to his stock. He dredgsd out ten bushels oi star fish in one day recently from his oyster beds. The shell of the conch terminates in a sharp point, which they use in drilling . hole through the shells of the oysters, and then destroying them. Near Black Rock Is an ex- tensivs tract of water where a large dredging feet has heretofore been engaged in gather ing seed oysters to plant, but this year they arc not as successful as usual, on account of these pests.

Cotton M Manufacturing Tn Nebraska.
 When the subject of erecting cotton mill at Kearney, Neb., was first agitsted, many people ridiculed the idea that good business men would invest the ir capital in an enter prise which seemed impraoticable, and when some of the most successful cotton manufao- turers in New England made proposition to the chamber of commerce of that oity to erect one of the largest mills In the country it they would raise . subsidy of $250. 0.o00, 1t was thought 1t would be impossible for Ksar- ney to comply with the terms of their offer, but the people of that enterprising city wont to work and in just 30 days raised tho money.
 The contract has now been signed and tho work on the cotton mill is to begin very soon. The mill will have capacity of about 26, 900 spindles. employing.s00 or 900 people. The raising of SO large sum of money In place tho size of Kearney is something remarkable; but In view of the fact that this establishes the first cotton mill in the west tho people of that oity will undoubtedly got their money back with interest.
 With this mill established, others will fol- low and Kearney will undoubtedly soon real ize It's ambition to become . great manufao- turing center. The chamber of commerce, of which Mir. K. o. Holmes Is secretary are even now at work to induce other manufacturer to locate h that oity. Kearney's dsvelopnsnt VII pe more rapid than ever before: it will not stop until 1t takes its place as the .sccnd oity in Nebraska and the grsatest nsarnssc- turing center In tho west. The buildins of . cotton mill In Kearnsy by New Rneisnd mn ufaoturers amounts to . declaration by tber. that right in Nebraska, the center of tho con tinent, is to be the future seat of the indus trial empire.
