A coNrRoMIsE TR0P0sED.

THIS commission recommends compro-
mise which proposes to admit such colored
clergymcn to the convention who have been
in connection with the church for twelve
months prior to May. 1889. ltalso propose,
a separate conyocation for the colored
churches under the mini-tration OF the
Bishop. No provision is made for the adj
mission Of colored Law delegates.
The several colored parishes have refused
10 accept the proposed compromise, and the
indications are that the report OF the COM
mission will be rejected by the convention.
The situation, therefore, viewed from ca
nOuical standpoint is serious. and threatens
no end Of trouble in the Church IN ms
State. II is likely that the whole question
will be brought before the general conYen.
ton OF the Protestant Episcopal Church oil
the United states.

John McMahon.

John McMahon, who, though crippled and rendered well nigh helpless by rheu- matism, has been seen about the streets nearly every day, died very suddenly, Sunday night. During the day, he had been about as usual and had attended church. There was no appreciable change in his condition, though, it is said, he was uneasy during the night. Monday morning, however, he was found dead in bed by his wife, heart disease having caused his death. The funeral took place from St. Rose church, We'd nesday afternoon and was largely attend ed, notwithstanding the severe storm. He was buried in St. Rose cemetery, the pail bearers including Martin Hourigan, Edward Murray, Patrick Houlihan, Pat rick Ready.
 Mir McMahon, who was 5 years old, leaves a wife and three children, Michael, Mary and John, to mourn his loss. He was son of Michael McMahon, who still lives ill NewtOwn; a brother, Daniel and sister Bridget (Mrs LennoD of Bridge port survive.
 A blacksmith by trade, he was a good artisan and worked faithfully as long as it was possible for him to do so. For a number of years, since he returned from York State, his limbs have been so drawn and contracted by rheumatism, for which there was no cure, that he could not hold his tools and, at times, could hardly move about. Such light work as lay in his power, he cheerfully accomplished.

Mrs Julia M. Johnson.

Mrs Julia NJ. Johnson, whose death we record, this week, was born in Sandy Hook, September 15, 1894 and died Sep tember E, 1889. Had she lived until Sunday, she would have reached her S5th year. During her long life, she was remarkably blessed with good health, retaining greatly her youthful spirits even down to old age. Her death was simply the going out of life. Like a sheaf of wheat fully ripe, she fell before the great destroyer, as peacefully as is the setting of the Summer sun. With the eye of faith, we follow her to the rest of Paradise, where, with q long line of dear ones who had gone before, to- gether with the good of all ages, she waits the glorious resrrection morn. ''So He giveth His beloved sleep" The flu neral was attended at the Congregation al church on Tuesday of this week, her pastor, Rev J. F. Hoyt, officiating, talk ing as the basis of his remarks Gods promise to Abraham, "And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace, thou shalt be buried in a good old age" The burial was in the village cemetery, her four grandsons, William Camp, Charles Beach, Levan Merritt, Frederick FOote Johnson acting as pail bearers. +**

Dropnad From the Sky.

Fully 5000 people assembled at Savin Rock, yesterday, to witness the balloon ascension. The street cars were taxed to their utmost capacity. It was the larg- est crowd of the season. At o'clock Professor Northup got ready for his aerial flight. His coat and vest were re- moved. The balloon was now entirely inflated and the parachute was fastened to the neck of the egg shaped "wind bag" He dropped his hat and those that were holding the guy ropes let go. The balloon rose rapidly to d height of about a thousand feet, when it took d northeasterly course. It sailed in this direction and kept rising until it reached an altitude of about 1900 feet. The bal loon raised higher and the professor cut the cord. The parachute opened out beautifully and came sailing down at an easy pace. It landed on the horse car track, near where the passengers get on. The professor lit on his feet and fell back on his shoulders, but other than receiv- ing slight shaking up he came out all right Palladium, July 27.

The St Rose Fair.

The congregation of St Rose parish, Newtown, propose to hold fair, com mencing Thursday evening, 18th, in the hall adjoining the church. The object of the fair is to obtain money to Hqui- date part of the debt, to sewer the land and dry up the basement of their hand some church and parochial residence, both of which are very damp. Mrs Ger ty and Miss Julia Murray collected from Bridgeport storekeepers nearly 40 hand some and valuable articles. The people of the parish, Catholics and those of oth- Hook and the adjoining towns have do- mated useful as well as valuable articles for the fair. In the next issue of your valuable paper, we expect to publish the names of the donors of articles, the arti- cles presented, together with the resi- dences and occupations of these kind friends. A sufficient number of articles have been received from friends and or ganizations to preclude the necessity of purchasing but few. During the fair, we expect to present, short and agreeable entertainments each evening. Miss Jo- anna Gaffney has kindly consented to re- peat the beautiful entertainment given recently by her scholars in such an in- telligent manner. The members of both choirs of St Rose parish will furnish vo- cal and instrumental music during the fair. In addition, Miss Gaffney intends giving a series of striking tableaux, with the aid of several of the young ladies of the parish. The historic description of each tableau will be delivered by MT Corbett,a gentleman long and well known by all for his literary abilities. A cor dial invitation is extended to all music ians, vocal and instrumental, to all tra- gedians and comedians and to all other talent to lend their services in furthering the success of the fair. Next week, q more definite program will be announc- ed. Admission to the fair will be only l0c. Dancing will commence each even ing at about 9 o'clock. Music by Dono- van and Cox's orchestra. Prof Dugan will enliven things, every evening, with his Irish and Highland pipes. We feel confident that the fair Is to be grand success, socially as well as financially. In conclusion, cordial invitation is ex- tended to all to como to the fair. The committee in charge returns thanks for all articles presented or services render ed in behalf of the fair.-[A Member of the Committee.

It remains for NewtOwn to bring out a new thing. Rubber is supposed to come from India and South American cOun- tries, but the Newtown BEE speaks of the "Dutch Rubber Dam." It may be a new style of cuss word, however.-[ An sonia Sentinel.l For the benefit of the Sentinel, we will explain that one of the large rubber factories of the New York Betting and Packing Co. in Sandy Hook is locally known as the Dutch Rubber, from the fact that it's owners and opera tives were once composed entirely of Germans. The dam across the Pohta- tuck river at this mill is consequently called the Dutch Rubber dam.

A Poetic Tribute by Henry Warren

TO THE CHIME OF BELLS IN THE TOWER ofTRi
 IrY CHURCH, NEW HAVEN Up Tn Trinity's lofty tower,
 noble chime peal forth their song; Their tones blend sweetly with the hour, To listning ears their notes prolong. Those evening bells ot twilight shade Peal forth their notes above the hills, Across the valley, glen and glade,
 Each gentle breeze with music fills. Those noble choristers combine
 Their anthems in full harmony, While softly glide in every line
 The glowing strains of melody. At morn, at noon, at eyentide,
 How sweetly glide their notes along! The funeral dirgc, the blooming bride, May tell the sequel to their song. pause to listen with delight
 To hear those bells in yonder tower, While oft in slnmbers of the night
 They break the silence of the hour. Peal forth thine anthems, noble chime. As sinks the sun in yonder vest May thy soft notes in plaintivc rhyme Lull the tired spirit to it's rest In years to come when we are gone
 Beyond life's dark, uncertain wave, Others may listen to thy song,
 While we are silent in the grave. MT Warren has been news agent on tn, Derby for years and is hale and hearty at SC by his acquaintance and the pat rons of the road-J

The Creamery still has good supply of Ice, which Is keeping well, all though the ice houses of many of it's pat rons have become empty. Several car loads have been taken to Parlor Rock and elsewhere by the railroad. The ice house will be cleared out, this Fall, in order that repairs may be made.

Not q large audience assembled at the Town hall, Wednesday evening, to hear Prof Samuel Dickic on the constitutional prohibitory amendment, owing, doubt less, to the darkness and unpleasant weather. Prof Dickie, than whom no man is more thoroughly conversant with this subject, treated 1t in a non-partisan way and clearly elucidated the purpose of the amendment. He is fine orator and was listened to with pleasure by all, who only regretted that a larger compa- ny was not present. Prof Dickie is chair man of the National committee of the Prohibition party, but his address was entirely free from politics. The meet ing, which was opened with prayer by Rev J. r. HOyt, was presided over by Zalmon $. Peck, Esq, who spoke briefly but to the point.
