amounted to 10000. The little es-

some $50, 900. This was all that he
was able to accumulate after life of
unusual activity. This makes her to-

400 900 in money well invested. From
this an income of probably $4,000 is

In another column will be found a
full report Of the proceedings OF the
so-called farmers convention, held In
this city on last Saturday. That con-
vention put a full ticket in the field
for county officers. As We suggested
last week, any movement of the kind
would be fathered and led by demo-
Gratis, and the leaders and speakers
and ticket fully establish the opinions
then expressed as an existing fact. A
man by the name of Sisson, among
whose personal boasts is that he was
in the rebel army. and who took a
pronounced part on behalf of the
democratic ticket last fall, led the
way of the speech making in the con-
vention last Saturday. The eOnven-
ton nominated four men of democrat
ic antecedents and two men who had
been of republican faith. The attempt
to divide the republican vote by such
transparent methods will fall fiat in
Thomas county. Republicans have
nominated good ticket, one which
from head to foot is worthy of trust
and confidence, one which combines
the farmer element with the republi-
can faith, and republicans will sup
port it in its entirety and elect every
man.

He has also sent the circular to every registrar in the State with request to make note of doctors neglecting to make returns.

BARNUm's BIGGEST GIANT DEAD.

Colonel Ruth Goshen Passes quietly
 Away at His Home ae Clyde, N. J.
 Col. Ruth Goshen, the largest man Barnum ever had, and whose enormous proportions many of our New Haven people beheld when he was exhibited here at Barnum's show died on Tuesday at 1:10 p. m., at Clyde, N. J., 8 station on the Pennsylvania railroad just be- yond New Brunswick where he has lived dur ing the winter for the past ten years. The children who go to "Barnum's show" now will miss the kind word or pat on the head that he always had for the little ones.
 After an illness of six months he died of dropsy. During his illness he had four men in attendance all the time. It took their combined strength to move him about in bed with a block and fall. He stood 2 feet 9 inches in his stockings, measured 3 feet inches across the shoulders, ,2S inches through the chest and weighed 630 pounds when in health.
 From papers found at his home he is SUD- posed to be about 70 years of age, being born in Egypt about the year 1919 or 1891. The funeral took place from his residence at Clyde yesterday afternoon.
 When exhibited at Bunnell's Grand here in New Haven he boarded in boarding house out on the piazza, amazing all beholders by his immense size. His good nature seemed l to be unfailing. He usually took tour of the newspapers offices in the towns where Barnum's show was exhibited and was usual l Iy obliged to stand up. No ordinary house was with much difficulty that he found way to sit comfortably in the largest coaches, and he was often forced to make his obeisance in order to enter ordinary doorways.

FAIR GUESTS OF THELRAeUE.

 Republican League Handsomely Car

 and Banjo Clubs-AdornmenfsA About
 the Club House-Dancing and Other
 Pleasures-ThOse Who Enjoyed the
 Evening.
 The Republican league was dressed in gaiest raiment and colors yesterday evening
 to welcome the many fair guests who had
 come with their proud escorts to make the
 annual ladies' reception of the league one of
 the most pleasant and memorable events in it's history. The house was elaborately and
 tastefully decorated with potted plants and other handsome adornments. Before the en trance an awning covered passage softly car- peted protected the many visitors from the
 chilling wintry winds, and within everything was lively with life and musical with the harmonies which made part of the evenings programme.
 The concert by the Yale Glee and Banjo clubs began about o'clock and the fine programme rendered is here given:

 The parlors presented most picturesque
 and beautiful picture during the concert,
 they being filled with the bright throng of
 visitors. During the intervals of the pro-
 gramme @ delicate lunch was enjoyed.
 On the second floor of the club house the large billiard halls were turned into bril- liantly lighted and decorated bali room. Here soft strains of music filled the air, and the floors were crowded with happy throng of dancers. The music to which the many nimble little feet kept time was as follows: Waltz-HoneyInoon. Lanciers-Nsdjy.
 Waltz-Brds' Festival. Lanciers-Dorothy.
 waltz-B Blooming Youth. Polka-Daintiness
 WALLPAPERS Life. Polka-Travesti. WaItz-Sea Roses
 The festivities continued to late hour and the parlors of the club house continued to be a scene of r-changing gaiety till the large party were finally separated by the quickly moving hand of time and the passing night. The assembly was the largest ever entertained by the league and will long be remembered with pleasure by everyone who enjoyed the occasion.
 The reception committee, to which much of the evenings success was due, was com- posed of w. J. Atwater, Gen. Barton, G. T. Bradley, Wm B. Chandler, F. L. Cowles, Dr. J. P. 0. Foster, s. J. Fox, c. s. Mersick, John T. Platt, Major Horace H. Strong, H.C. Warren, w. P. Futile.
 The greater part of the members of the club were present with ladies. Among others ! who enjoyed the pleasures of the evening ! were: Miss Perkins of Wallingford, Miss Att | water, Misses Edith Wheeler of Long Hill, Conn.,, Belle Foster, Beula Pettis, Kitty
 Beecher, Carl Dudley, Graeie Judson, Kate Osborn, Misses Hinman, Wright, Shepard, Newbury, Steele, Dewell, Richardson and many others.

consulting physicians in the case of Miss Clairette Vanderbilt, the member of the Pearl of Pekin company who died suddenly in this city a fortnight ago, seem to have jumped too hastily to the conclusion that malpractice was the cause of death. The principal illness from which the young actress suffered was acute dyspepsia, ending in malignant gastric fever. Added to this was tendency to se- were periodical convulsions that greatly weakened the sufferer and left her unable to withstand her other illness.
