Injured by the Fall Of a Scaffold

A Scaffold twenty-SlX 1eeG h1Rn WAs re-
Gently built for the use of workmen en-
ployed in finishing the dome of the new
Catholic Church at New Iberia, La. When
the workmen gathered at one end OF the
scaffold for the purpose of placing large
circular sash in position, the structure gave
way, precipitating the occupants to the fioor'
twenty six feet below.
The Rev. Father Permontier was on the
scaffod at the time, and was severely hurt.
His left thigh was broken and he suffered
from other injuries. Pierre Julien, carpsn-
ter, had both legs broken. John Gonzonlin,
carpenter, hurt his back Charles Platsmier,
carpenter, was badly bruised about the head
and face

Seventeen Men Drowned.

Twelve teams and teamsters who were
driving over Canada Lake, N. Y, broke
through the ice and all were drowned. No
details could at first be learned.
Later news state that twenty-four teams
started from the upper end of the lake to
drag logs to the receiving point. Some Of
the logs drawn were genuine monarchs OF
the forest, of great length and girth. The
enormous weight thus laid upon the ice may
therefore be conceived.
The party had got nearly opposite the
camp, where many Of the loggers lived when
there was warning cracking, and the next
moment teams, logs and drivers were mixed
in confusion with the big chunks of ice
in the water. The scene that followed
is described as heartrending and awful
beyond description. The men who re-
mained in the camp, the women and the
children crowded to the brink of the broken
space in the ice, but found themselves power.
less to do more than drag half dozen of
their fellows out of the water, and stood
there shrieking and piteously bemoaning the
fate of brothers, husbands or fathers.
Seven of the drivers escaped. Seventeen
drivers and all the teams were drowned.

A Ascene in the New York Senate.

"A SCeH6 III Vic wv" okh SSAs~SS'
The session of the Senate a few days since
was opened with prayer by the Rev. 8. V.
Leach of Albany.
After referring to alleged corruption,
which, he said, largely influenced elections
in great cities, he prayed for deliverance
from the political gamblers, who buy up
the votes of ignorant immigrants, who COM
prise such large proportion of the popula-
tion of the large cities" :,
The "Amen" had hardly been pronounced
when Mr. Grady of New York city,
arose and said: II move that the officer
having charge of the selection of clergy
men to offer prayers in this body be
Instructed hereafter to give no invitation to
do SO to the person who has just assailed the
Throne of Mercy with very peculiar petl'
tion. 1t is outrageous that prayer should be
made cover for assailing the political ma
jorities in our cities as ignorant immigrants
stepped in superstition"
Mr. Erwin said he thought the prayer was
meant for Senator Grady, whereupon Mr..
Murphy said it made the insult worse, because
it came from clap-trap politician, who had
been a perennial candidate for Chaplain OF
the Senate.
Therow was ended by the Lieutenant Gov
ernor declaring the discussion out of order.

BOUGHT FOR sas,ooO.

Purchase Of the Yale University Club
 Building on Chapel Street Next Co
 the New Haven House by the Qufnni-
 piac Ciub-To be Elegantly Equipped.
 The Quinnipiac club have just purchased
 the University club building on Chapel
 street, the next building east of the New Ha-
 ven House, for their club house. They will
 come into possession of their purchase July
 next. The property was bought of Clarence
 W. Bowen, Yale '73, son of MT. Bowen of
 the New York Independent. The price paid was $25, 900. The club is to be congratulated on securing so desirable a property. They hold lease of their present club house few
 doors below until July 1, 1890, and will be- fore occupying their new quarters handsome ly fit them up and equip them, and when the improvements and embellishments are com- pleted they will possess one of the finest club houses in New England. The building pur- chased is widely known in this city among our older residents, especially as the A. k. Street residence. It was built in 1S16 (the year Trinity church was builD by Dr. Joseph Darling. a man of culture and social inhu- euce in New Haven. After he had occupied it for years it was purchased by the late Au- Rustus R. Street, who owned the New Haven House property adjoining. He was the philanthropist and liberal donor Of the funds through which Yale possesses it's beautiful Art school building. After MT. Streets
 death the property passed into the hands of
 MT. Bowen, from whom it has been bought
 by the Qninnipiac club. The architect of the
 house was Ithiel Towne, the same distin-
 Ruished gentleman who was the architect Of Trinity church, the old State house and oth- CTS of our noted older buildings. The house has a frontage of nearly thirty-6ve feet on Chapel street, two feet more than the clubs present building, and has about the same depth of the present club building, while it is one story higher. The present club build ing is owned by A. c. Traeger, who is now abroad and who has probably some plans as to its future use. The club will probably re- main in it's present quarters the current year while work is going on in it's new house.

That January Weather.

In Chester Saturday. January 19, Lorenzo Wellman finished blowing four acres of land and sowed the same with rye. He says it was not quite as easy as blowing in October, but the land narrowed well.
 In Preston City near Norwich, Seth Maine had bed of pausies some five feet square, all in full bloom outdoors, on January IS.
 In Voluntown robins and bluebirds were seen on the 22d.
 George A. Dickernan, the florist of this city, in January, 1880, planted at the Dicker- man place in East Haven, now part of New Haven, a large lot of raspberry bushes, and in March brought to market in this city loads of early vegetables. Potatoes were also brought to market month earlier than usual hereabouts owing to the extreme mildness of the 1880 winter. The 1880 winter was & re- markedly mild one and no ice of any account was harvested hereabouts.

 The difficulty existing between Samuel Halliwell, the New Haven real estate agent and the Stonington Savings bank has been amicably settled and the charges against Mr. Halliwell removed. The case has attracted much attention in Danbury owing to the prominence given to two of the local banks during the investigation. Frederick S.Wild- man, president of the Savings Bank of Dan- bury, stated this morning that the rumor that his bank was making an investigation was false There was nothing to investigate SO far as his bank was concerned.
 The bank has had business transactions with and through MT. Halliwell during the past fifteen years and he has faithfully and promptly accounted for and paid over to the bank all moneys due it from him.
 At the Union Savings bank President L.P. Treadwell said that his bank had not, nor ever had, any doubts of Halliwells honesty and integrity. "We have," he said, Hooked over our investments in New Haven and find them all as they were represented to be. In- stead of $5, GOO we have placed over $50, ,000 with Halliwell and have always found him careful and oonscientious since our first transactions with him in 875."-Danbury Press, Jan. 26.
