A Natural Breakwater.

The curious natural breakwater of the
''Chesil Beach" connects Portland, Eng
land, with the mainland. A puzzle to the
geologist, this wonderful beach is an ex-
ample of the sea producing a barrier toits
own progress, the destruction of one part
of the coast becoming the means of pro-
lection to another. The heavy waves of
the Atlantic are here barred, and during a
ground swell the ceaseless grinding of the
pebble fiints is heard, like the dull roar OF
thunder, for miles inward. In length
about ten miles, its breadth at low tide is
not above two hundred yards, and at ne
place is it raised more than forty-four feet
above high water. The pebbles which
compose the beach increase in size toward
Portland, and diminish to gravel where
they merge into Bridgeport Sands. From
an antiquarian as well as u geological
point of view, the Chesil Beach is one OF
the deepest interest, many curious relices
being constantly thrown up-coins OF
gold, silver and copper, though those OF
the Roman empire are most common
Sometimes antique rings are found, seals
| and gold ingots, with other spoils of the
sea, wrested from the dead of ancient u.
well as modern times by the relentless
storms raging in the dreaded bay

The steam heating furnace and pipes in
Miss Porter's school dormitory are being
rapidly put up, as the contract calls for a
twenty days limit. When completed it
will supply the place of three furnaces and
two large stoves, and must make q vast
difference in the quantity of coal con-
| sumed. The residence of Mr. A. D. Vorce

with steam apparatus for heating, and in

tute steam in place Of the hot air furnaces
in their houses.

neck, which necessitated her being boil

as she reached home DR.. Wheeler was sent

possible; but it is not at all unlikely that
she will be under the doctors care for a

A Slight Accident.


The combination of u small boy with al
most anything has in it the possibilities of
amusement and especially is this tue of a
certain class of lads who are always lively.
One of this sort was recently seen riding
in a Boston horse car, twisting about upon
the seat and distinguishing himself by the
number of shapes into which he contrived
to put himself in the shortest possible time
He had his fare in his hand, from time to
time patting it down upon the seat, or in
to his mouth when he needed both of his
hands in his gymnastics.
He was just in the middle of an unusual
ly lively attempt to pick up bit of paper
with his left hand twisted under his right
leg, when the conductor came along for the
fares. The small boy left off his struggle to
get at the bit of paper, sat up in the seat
and began to gasp and choke in a manner
really alarming. The conductor stood in
evident doubt whether the boy was having
a fit, when the little fellow managed to
stammer out.
you'll have to charge my fare to my
father, Mr.. x. Y, please. I've swallowed

Mr. u ames Campbelps Property At
tached for $4,000.
The trouble between Thomas II. SulG-
van of New Haven and James Campbell of
this city was brought to climax Wednes-
day afternoon, when Deputy Sheriff A. P.
Moore attached Mr.. Campbell's house on
Avon street and the money which he had
in the United States bank, on suit for
$1,000 for defamation Of character. Mr..
Campbell secured bonds for $4,000, so
that the attachments will not affect him.
The complainant claims that the charges
of Mr.. Campbell have injured his char
acter and made good deal of trouble for
him.
Mr.. Campbell denies that he said that
Sullivan was to deliver a certain number
of democratic votes to the republicans in
the last state election for 81 500, or that
he failed to deliver the goods and so did
not receive the money. Mr.. Campbell
claims that he only said that it was re-
ported that Sullivan was up in Hartford
working in the interests of the republican
candidates. Mr.. F. G. Wilson and
Mr.. Charles J. Dillon, who were present at
the time of the conversation, do not re-
member such statement being made.
When Attorney Henry Stoddard wrote to
Mr.. Campbell month ago asking that he
apologize, Mr. Campbell took the letter to
George q. Sill and told him the whole case.
Attorney Sill advised him to pay no atten-
ton to the letter and Mr., Campbell took
his advice. How the story became changed
is mystery and no one seems to know
who reported it. At the time it is said to
have occurred there were only five in the
group, F. c. Wilson, James Campbell, G.
j. Dillon, Lieutenant j. J. Kennedy of the
Sarsfeld Guard and Lieutenant Francis
Duffy of the signal corps of the Second
regiment The two last named are from
New Haven and may have told the origi-
nal story, which seems to have been
changed in handling. Mr.. Campbell feels
confident of his defense.-Hartfort Cour-

GLEN ISLAND EXCURSIONS.
Big Excursion Season This Year
The Largest Yet-Nine Hundred
More People Take an Outing-Other
Excursions.
The trip to Glen Island yesterday was
very enjoyable on account. of the fine
weather. The lodges Dorscht, $50 New
Haven musicians, and Moses Mendelssohn
lodge, 200 Hebrew citizens, together with
$50 people from the Elm City Catholic
Benevolent association, made up the ex-
cursionists on board. The sailing on the
summer sea seems to be found by every
body not only an enjoyment, but tonic
far better than any bitters. Owing to the
large number of musicians present, numer-
GUS unusually fine selections were rem
dered by the band, and dancing was
eagerly INDUCED in. The island is one of
the finest pleasure grounds along the
coast, and beautified by all that nature
and man can do; it's resources of amuse-
ment are countless, and one hardly real
ICES the flight of time.
The steamboat company is more sue
cessful this season than any previous
seasons. The Glen Island excursion bust
ness of the company at the present time is
| said to be far ahead of that of any pre-
vious year.
The Starin will make an extra trip to
Glen Island on Saturday for the A. o. U.
W., and excursionist will be allowed to
remain on the island one hour longer than
| usual. This will be an excellent opportu-
nifty for families and all others wishing to
take day off and enjoy themselves at the
island. A large number of the A. o. U.
W, their families and friends are going
and any others wishing to go can obtain
| tickets at the Starin Office or boat as usual,
as the boat is never chartered exclusively
| for any occasion.
The X. o. ]. society of this city will
give its annual excursion to Glen Island
ON Saturday, Aug. 90, when very en-
joyable time is anticipated.
Davenport council, Royal Arcanum, will
go to Glen Island next Tuesday.

Public Works.

In our account of the last board of pub
lie works meeting remark made by Mr..
Atwater was attributed to Mr.. Leigh.
Commissioner Whitney had objected to
approving bill of s2O26 for pipe fur
nished the city by the New Haven Pipe
company, of which Mr.. Atwater is large
stakeholder, and held that, as he viewed
it, the charter forbade any member of any
executive board to furnish material to the
city. Mr.. Atwater retorted to Mr. Whit
ney that the same objection would apply
to the bills presented by Blakeslee & Sons,
because one of the firm is member of the
common council, and to those presented by
the McLagon Foundry company, because
Fire Commissioner Farnsworth was presi
dent and treasurer of that company.

REAGAN HILL AND ROCK FORT.
The British Invasion of New Haven
"A Good Suggestion.


In Judge Deming's paper printed in the
New York Republic Wednesday, July 80,
entitled ssInvasion of New Haven; how
nineteen men with three cannon held 800
invaders and two ships of war at bay"
and in which is an extract from the Con-
NEcr1cuT JOURNAL (AND COURIER of July
Z, 1880, appears the following, containing
an admirable patriotic suggestion:
Beacon Hill, which was occupied by
Tryon after the captu9e of Fort Hale and
the retreat of the militia, is rounded ele-
walton, perhaps three hundred feet above
sea level and three miles from New Haven
green. Just south of the hill Mr.. Henry
II. Benedict has his beautiful summer resi-
| dence. Still further south are the
fine old homestead of the Townsends
and the more peetentious residence
| of the late Hon. Charles Mitchell.
| It was known as Indian hill until Novem-
| Der, 1775, when a committee was appoint
| ed by the citizens of New Haven to pre-
| pare ssbeacon" upon it's summit to be
! lighted in case of invasion as warning to
| the neighboring towns and a call for help
The committee prepared the beacon and
| fired it for practice November ~, 1910.
| The ministers gave notice from their pull
| pits of the time when it would be lighted,
| and requested the people to watch care
fully and take its 'ebearings' from their
homes, aud if it was seen flashing
| in the darkness after that night
| the people were to repair at once
! to the New Haven green EARNED
with good muskets, bayonets and cartridge
box well filed with cartridges" Slight
earthworks were thrown up on the hill,
either by the militia or by Tryon, which are
| still distinctly visible, although the hill was
| long ago covered with rank shrubs and
small trees. From the summit the hill
makes beautiful sweep to the road, which
| for almost century has been known as
| Townsend avenue, and then by a more gen
| tie but uot less graceful decline stretches
| away to the shore of the harbor and to the
| point upon which stood in '79 Rock Fort
The point and meadow upon which
Rock Fort stood, the rocky bluff
just south Of the point, against which
the waves of Long Island SOUND
make continual music, and which but
tresses the magnificent sweep of beacf
called from time immemorial ''The Cove,
and Beacon Hill, have recently been pur
public park. It is hoped that monuments
of some description will soon tell the al
most forgotten story of the invasion O.
| New Haven over again to the sons of tn
revolution and to the stranger upon on,
shores. Both places are hallowed by tn
blood of our fathers, and should be sacret
to the sons of the men who fought as the,
retreated from Rock Fort to Beacon Hill
and from Beacon Hill to Neck Bridge, blu
who did not surrender nor for momen
waver.
Massachusetts, has it's Concord and Lex
ington and Bunker Hill but even Massa
chusetts cannot boast Rock Fort, wher
nineteen men with three small field piece
held at bay fifteen hundred men and tw
ships of war, and by their heroism pre-
vented junction of the British force
and saved the town.

Facts Worth Knowing.

In all diseases of the nasal mucous men,
brane the remedy used must be non-irri-
tating. The medical profession has been
slow to learn this. Nothing satisfactory
can be accomplished with douches, snuffs,
powders or syringes, because they are all
irritating, do not thoroughly reach the
affected surfaces, and should be abandoned
as worse than failures. A multitude of
persons who had for years borne all the
worry and pain that catarrh can infiict
testify to radical cures wrought by Ely's
Cream Balm. au6 cod w 2w
