DEAD IN BED ron rwo WEEKS.

The Horrible Discovery at the Mer-
chants Hotel Of Contractor w. r.
Young,s Body.
One of the most horrible cases which
have come to the attention of the New Ha-
ven authorities for many q day came to
light in room % at the Merchants hotel
on State street yesterday noon.
William F. Young, formerly contrae-
tor at Winchester's has occupied that
room. Sixteen days ago he went to bed
one night and has not been seen since.
His disappearance caused no comment, as
little was accustomed to be seen of him.
Yesterday noon Mrs. Ann Kelly, the cham
bermaid, found the door of room %
locked, as it had been for the last sixteen
days, but she detected fearful
odor about the door. She notified
the proprietor of the hotel, Mrs.
F. E. Robinson, an invalid, and
had called to collect bill. Mr.. Chapman
mounted chair in front of the door and
sprung the top open enough to look in.
A horrible sight met his view. He at once
notified Officer McGrath. The officer went
up to the fourth floor, peered over the
transom of room 20 and there saw sight
whiBh made his heart sick within him
Medical Examiner White was Immediately
summoned and the door was smashed
| open. There upon the bed lay the body of
| Young, SO badly decomposed that the odor
| it exhaled almost drove the men from the
room. The face and arms had turned
black and the flesh of the right arm, which
| was stretched at full length, had begun to
| fall away from the bone. The sight was
| such sickening one that DR.. White did
not proceed with his Investigation until
| the windows of the room had been raised
and fresh air had been admitted to the
apartment. Then a search of the room
was made. In Young's trunk were found
a large number of letters, most of which
came from his sister, who lived in Daniel
sonville up to the time of her death about
four months ago. There was also cheap
revolver, all the chambers of which were
empty. No money was found in the room
but the letters were all neatly arranged il
packages.
Coroner Mix was soon upon the spot an6
declared that death resulted either from
suicide Or alcoholism, the body being 81
badly decomposed that he could not tel
which.
Young was seen alive for the last tim
two weeks ago last Sunday. He had los
his position at Winchester's o few day
previously through his drinking habits.
Lewis & Maycock took the body earl,
yesterday afternoon. 1t was placed in
zinc box and inferred in Westville Youn
was about 40 years of age and had lived il
New Haven for the past eighteen years
He came here from Bridgeport where h
had been employed at the Bridgeport gu
works. He made money for time, bu
soon began to neglect his business fo
drink. The company tolerated this a
long as was possible, but finally it becam
necessary to revoke his contract and b
was discharged. Thomas L. Young,
brother of the deceased, lives in Handler

A Remarkable Case OF Church
I'll ulmfty.

AAAAAAAsys
To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
1t is related of Yankee farmer, whose
COWS were accustomed to wander into 'by
and forbidden paths" when let out of the
pasture to be driven home, that he shout
ed after them one morning as they dis
persed: eyes, blast ye, scatter there, scat
ter. suppose if there was only one q. you
you would scatter" Two many Yankee
church members are as trying, in a some
what different way, as the farmers cows.
They quarrel-yes, they quarrel. We
sometimes think if there was only one of
them they would quarrel
1t is refreshing to know that the Taylor
church people have risen above this sort of
thing, at least in one instance. They are
getting new carpet for the church. At
the close of the Tuesday evening prayer
meeting the committee showed number
of samples, and those present were asked
to give expression to their preferences.
After all had examined the samples it was
ascertained that each and every one had
chosen the same piece. o.

\ Baby's Adventures with Henry
Clay.


IT, G. Carpenter in Wide Awakel
One of the brightest of the new United
States senators is Mr.. Nathan Fellows Dix
on, of Rhode Island, bright-eyed, dark
faced republican forty three years of age
He comes from a line of statesmen. His
grandfather was in the senate when John
Tyler was President, and his father brought
him here as a three-year-old baby during
his first congregational term in 1s49 and
80. Senator Dixon stopped with his ia
Their at this time at the National hotel, and
young as he is he was able to remember
some of the incidents of this part of his
life. Henry Clay was stopping at the same
hotel and he was very fond of children.
bors one day going down the steps and
meeting Henry Clay coming up. The great
Kentuckian grasped the Rhode Island baby
by the arms and lifted him up to his face.
Little Dixon yelled out:
"Let me go!"
Mr.. Clay, however, putting his arms
around the boy and holding him to his
breast, said: 81 can't do. that because 1
want to kiss you. and I wonder if you
know who am"
eyes, i know" said the boy, "but want
to go"
"Well, who am Is' said Clay.
ooh" said young Dixon, "you are Mis-
ter Harry Clay. Now let me 60"
With this the great statesman kissed the
boy, gave a hearty laugh with his big
mouth and put him down.
From this time ON Baby Dixon and SEN
ator Clay continued their acquaintance and
Baby Dixon often came into Senator Claws
room and was made much of by the Sena-
tor. One day, however, he was present.
when Henry Clay had some important cal
lers. He had no time to talk to Baby Dix
on and he took him from his knee, placed
him upon his feet, and said: CHOW, Nat
ey, run downstairs to your mamma"
The future senator was rather indignant
at this treatment and he slammed the
door heartily as he stamped out. Senator
Clay told the story number of times af-
forward. He said he could he hear little
Nathans footsteps as he went down the
stairs. At first his tread was loud and
boisterous As he went toward the bot
tom it grew fainter and fainter, and at last
the noise stopped at the foot of the stairs.
A moment later he heard the little feet
pattering back and gentle knock WIS
made upon thodoor. Henry Clay called
out:
"Come in, STRIP
The door opened and little Nathan Dix
on's pretty face looked in and his CHEEKY
lips voiced forth the words
ttMy love to you, Mr.. Clay"
With that he turned and run down the
stairs to his mother. He had evidently
appreciated that his action in slamming
the door and leaving the room ungentle-
manly, and though only boy of three
years he had repented before he had reach
ed the foot of the stairs and hurried back
to make his baby apology.
Senator Dixon told his story in CONVEX
sation the other day and he ought not to
object to seeingit in print, as it is certainly
complimentary to him.

AN OLD.TIME WHALE.


A New London Schooner Captures
One Worth Thirteen Thousand Dol
lars.
from the New London Telegraph
In the good old whaling days, often re-
ferred to by the older citizens, when
many men went to sea in ships from this
port in search of the leviathans of the
deep, it was oil they were after and the bone
was of little consequence. Now. as those pros
porous old days have been succeeded by pros
perity of different character SO the whale oil
has been supplanted by better and cheaper
illumination, and it is the whale bone and not the
oil that the sailors seek for now. This being the
fact the schooner Era, now in Cumberland Inlet,
is in luck as the expenses of the trip are guaran
teed and margin for the owners besides. Fri
day evening G. A. Williams & Co., owners of
the schooner Era, received letter from Cap
tain John o. Spicer stating that he had captured
a large whale near New Guminte Cumberland
Inlet, which yielded $500 pounds Of whalebone,
the market price for which is IS a pound. In
other words the bone will bring Of itself $12, SOC
to say nothing of the $50 OF more barrels Of oil
which the whale produced. The Era is the only
vessel from this port now engaged in the whale
fishery, and the Era is but q small schooner, not
as large the ordinary tender of thirty or forty
years ago. The Era was built in Boston in 1047
is 80 feet long, Is feet wide, 80 feet deep, and
measures only 1877 tons.

WHAT HURTS oITRoN MELONS.

WHAT HURTS CITRON MELONS.
The Cause u Hard One to Remove.
It is one of the minor calamities of life
to find on outing open the most carefully
selected citron melons from the grocers'
or fruiterers' stands that the eagerly an
ticipated delight turns out to be, interiorly, of
the punkiest and squashiest character-or, at
best, pale and tasteless. 1t may not help the
matter any to be informed Of the cause of this
meloncholic perversity, but it is always best to
know the truth, and the truth seems to be that
in nine cases out of every ten of this seeming
"pure cussedness' the cause is to be ascr1bed to
the busy bees Especially the bumblebee. These
bumbling boomers of the summer are like the
fetid squash bug, great lovers of the squash
blossoms; and after fully Investigating the gold
en- chalces of these coarse flowers, and accident
ly getting, in the performance, their thighs
heavily loaded with squash pollen they go BOOM
ing of to the next farmers lot or garden, where
there happens to be patch OF citron melons in
bloom; and in investigating those blossoms, too,
In search Of the crude honey he loves this ''yel-
low-breeched philosopher unconsciously cross
fertilzes the melons with the squash. Thus he
tscontriyes, as effectually il he were doing 1t
with malice prepense, to squashify ESQ to speak,
pretty much all the citron and musk melons
| There seems to be no help for it-unless 1t be by
| legally prohibiting the market gardeners from
| raising squashes-or bumblebees.

Army Life Is Not an Easy One.

The supposition that army life is an
easy one is the civilians delusion. No
occupation on earth is more exacting.
The reveille is sounded at daylight, and
the soldier must be up and ready.
Between reveille in the morning and
taps, at o. 80 at night, he has to attend
to the majority of 33 daily bugle calls,
and be on his feet most of the time till
"retreat" at sunset. The officers are
busy at nearly all times over new mill
tary problems. They are called to
mount and manage artillery that would
have struck dire dismay into armies like
those of Caesar, Hannibal, and Alex
ander. To-day war is a science, requir-
ing all the skill of the best navigators,
the most able engineers, and the finest
electricians. All the known means Of
defence and destruction are ayaiel of,
even down to the last electric triumph,
the telephone. In future battles, ac-
cording to the Baltimore american, the
commanding generals will open iheir en-
gagements with "Hello!" to their sub
ordinates. If beaten they will ei'heraay
Good by!" or reserve the syllables of
"HellOl"

The late Professor Morren related once
in our hearing a rebuke which he gave
to high strung Beacon Hill damsel,
which is worth repeating for the moral
it carries, says the Boston Courier The
young lady was one of his pupils and
made herself particularly obnoxious by
her naughty and even insolent bearing,
displaying her contempt for all about her
so markedly that it became at last un-
bearable.
Il knew her mother in France" said
the professor, whose broken English there
is no need of producing here, land she
was a most exquisitely modest and unas-
suming woman. But the daughter was
SO insoent that she had to have a lie, son;
so l said to her:
"'Will you he so good as to remain
after the lesson? l have something to
tell you.
"'She stayed, and in her haughtiest
manner she said: You wish to speak to
me?'

"'And your father is Mr.. So and So?'
"'Yes.'
"And your mother is the lovely and
sweet Mrs. So and So l have met in

"Well?'
"'Oh,' said, you are sure there is no
mistake ?
"'No mistake! What do you mean?'
