Electric Train Lighting.

A new application of the old idea of
lighting railway train by means of the
energy derived from the axle of the car or
locomotive promises to lead to one of the
most practicable systems of electric train
lighting yet brought before the public. The
new machine is cylindrical dynamo, which
is attached to the forward axle of the loco
motive. The whole machine does not
weigh more than 300 pounds, and it is COM
pletely incased in an iron jacket, so that
snow, rain or dust will have no effect on it.
It is supposed to run for several weeks
without any attention except oiling. An
excellent feature of the new system is that

The late prevalence of diphtheria has
brought out many popular remedies. One
of these, which is frequently adopted in
Germany, is to close the room on the first
appearance of the disease in the throat Of
the child. A tin cup is then filled with
equal parts of tar and turpentine and held
over the fire until the fumes fill the room.
This will cause the little patient to e1pector-
ate copiously and to expel the membranous
matter which is the source of the mischief,
often saving its life.

struggling to gain the beach. They reached
shore safely, and soon drew their boat up
on the sands out of the reach of the waves.
The first boat had scarcely turned over

in the second boat only one reached shore
alive. Lieutenant Robinson, four seamen

The State Board of Health Condemns
RimmOn Pond.

RimmOn Pond.
Ice from Rimmon pond in Seymour is
not fit for use. Such is the decision of
the state board of health, after thor
ough examination of the waters of the
pond and the waters of It's tributary, the
Naugatuck river. The investigation
was made at the instance of the attor-
neys represented in a suit against the
city of Waterbury for the pollution of
the waters of the river by the city's
sewage.
In the report the secretary says that
the board finds the waters of the Manga
tuck river in a horrible condition as the
result of the sewage therein, and that
notw outstanding the distance that inter
venes between the depository of this
sewage at Waterbury and Rimmon
pond, distance of some twenty miles,
the water of the pond is fast becoming
polluted to an alarming extent by the
sewage which is being rapidly deposited
therein. The board finds that the water
is unfit for use and that the ice taken
from the pond is necessarily so polluted
that its use would be extremely hazard

President DOran Says There Has Been a
Slight misunderstanding.
President Doran and John F. Devine
of the Third division, A. o. H., called at
the DEMOCRAT office to-day and made a
statement in regard to the society's
funds. They claim that the division
will not be a loser, as reported, by the
failure in business of Treasurer Barrett
On Monday, August II, President Doran
says Mr. Casey received 800 of the
funds to pay to the division. This
money the latter turned over to the
society last night. Mr. Doran said that
the rules of the division allow the treas
urer to have on hand 5000 of the di-
vision funds. All above this amount
must be deposited in the bank. The
officers of the division in card pub
lished this morning exonerate Mr. Bar
rett from blame.

STATE PRISON.
An Unusually Small Number of COnvicts
in the Institutions

in the Institutions
The number of convicts at the state
prison at present, including five women,
is 267, about 100 less than year ago.
The squirt of sending tramps to Wethers-
field, according to the law passed few
years ago, died out some time since, and
Warden Chamberlain now has but two
of the ''profesh'' at his institution.
The warden is a close observer of the
crime of the state. While his institu-
ton has 100 less than a year ago, the
jails are full. The warden keeps a scrap
book IN which he places newspaper
clippings of all arrests for state prison
offenses. Since the 22nd of June, after
the courts closed, about 1876 have been
arrested and placed in the county jails
for trial. for offenses which should send
them to prison. In one day, a week ago
last Saturday, the warden found fifteen
cases.
OF late years the states attorneys
have been more lenient than formerly,
and have allowed prisoners to plead
guilty to a lighter crime than that with
which they are charged, and thus escape
with Jail sentence. This is shown by
the last report of the jails, as compiled
at the office of the secretary of state.
For the year ending June 80, there had
been 459 state prison offenses committed
in this state and the prisoners tried, but
only Isl were sentenced to the institu-

A Bold Tramn.

Yesterday morning Mrs. A. Fl. Davis, wife
of Mr.. Davis, clerk of the us. Circuit Court,
who resides at No. IA Pine street., had &C.
sion to 90 out and left the house in charge of
the servant girl. While she wa, gone a
tramp came to the back door and t)ld the
girl he wanted to come In. She said The
couldn't" whereupon the man thrust his
foot between the door and sill so that the
girl couldn't shut the door. With great pres
ence of mind the girl hit the man a singing
blow In the face, which caused him to re-
move his foot, and she Immediately slammed
the door to and locked 1t. She then went to
a side window to see II the man had gone,
when he made insulting motions towards
her. The stove, with pot of hot water on
It, was close at hand, and also tin dipper.
The girl seized the dipper with one hand and
filled 1t with water from the pot, while with
the other she raised the window sash, gave
the tramp good dose of the almost boiling
water and slammed the window to again and
locked 1t. Enraged, the man raised his foot
and thrust 1t through the window, but, some
one coming along the street, the tramp had
to leave. A few moments after Mrs. Davis
returned and sent the girl for glazier to put
new lights In the window. That girl had
presence of mind and courage enough for a
regiment.
