Newly Discovered.

A tomb containing two sepulchral
urns, one of which contains the ashes
of Ecloge, the nurse of the Emperor
Claudius Nero, and the other those of
his mistress Acte. who was converted
to christianity by St. Paul, has been
discovered in Rome in the Vigna
Nuova. off the Via SAHARA. outside the
Salara gate. The tomb is the ceme-
terry of Domitian's family, where the
ashes OF Nero himself were also buried.
The inscription mentions that Ecloge's
ashes werc placed there in accordance
with her request that they might be
inferred near those of her nursing,
the emperor.

1t is a lamsntable fact that smudge-
ing of grain has been lin my opinion)
generally misunderstood. In CONVEX
sation with many farmers, l find that
they have delayed their smudging until
midnight, and in many cases until 2 or
three O'Clock in the morning. The OBJ
ject of the smudge is not to effect the
temperature by heat us much as it is to
create u cloud of smoke. 1t is smoke
that is needed and hence the more
smoke the better. 1t is very evident
that frost is nothing but frozen dew,
and it is also evident that OH still
night dew begins to fall just about sun
set, and consequently the smudge ought
to begin before the dew falls and be
kept up all night. or until the condition
changes that is favorable to frost which
would be windy or cloudy. Then when
the temperature is reached to convert
dew into frost you would readily see
that there will be no dew to freeze, and
hence no frost. There is no frost, with
out dew, and there would be no dew if
you begin in time to create the artifi-
cial cloud, but if you wait until after
midnight to light your smudge, the dew
is already on the grain land then it will
freeze in spite of the smudge.-C. A.

The Situation To-day.

AS to future prices, is very uncertain
and if We had abundance of idle money
we would not buy 900 bushels of oats,
or wheat or corn with view of making
a profit by either the advance or de-
cline upon current prices. The most
intelligent and skillful men at the
Board of Trade, whose life business is
buying and selling for priit, and who
have large sums at stake, will sell now
at an advance of only 4 cent or two a
bushel, Or buy at Il similar small de-
cline. There are abundant reasons for
the present uncertainty. The general
crops of our country are undoubtedly
large-just how large and how good no
one fully knows up to this hour. The
corn crop as Il whole is far from being
entirely safe against frost which may
diminish it several hundred thousand
bushels from what is now hoped for
and expected. The wheat crop of the
great Northwest though nearly mature
and partly gather, may yet be injured
in the berry by frosts, and in shocks by
rains.

Devils Lake Inter-O Ocean: Tom Sulli-
van, of Webster township, is expert
menting this year with what he calls
Egyptian Wheat" although he is not
certain that is it's name. He found a
portion of a head on the depot platform
in this city about two years ago and he
planted it. BY careful saving of every
kernel he was enabled to seed Il plot of
ground about four rods square this
year. The peculiar feature of this
wheat is it's head. Instead of being one
straight stalk surrounded by kernels,
there seem to be ten or twelve little
heads from an inch to an inch and one
half in length grouped around a CEN
trail stalk. The entire length of the
head or heads is about four inches.
The kernels seem TO be of the same
shape and color as Fife wheat, but are
little longer. A specimen has been
sent to the Minnesota agricultural COL
lege for classification land in the mean
time who can tell what this grain is.

vailed here, on account OF a telegram
that came at noon, announcing that

But the great factor affecting prices
is the amount of foreign demand. The
shortage abroad is undoubted; that it
is large is we'll ascertalned-exactly
how large the best reports do not
agree. There is u disposition on the
part of the bulls and in some lead
ing journals to make this entirely a
question of statistics. They figure up
the total present years crop of wheat
and rye, and compare this with the av-
erage consumption, and call the ditsr-
ence the amount that ace SHALL be called
upon to supply. This is erroneous and
misleading. One prominent Journal
which figures out a worlds deficit of
fully six hundred million bushels of
wheat and rye, taken together, puts one
third Of this deficit in Russia, includ-
ing its dependencies of Finland and
Poland. But who supposes that those
countries will import the 200 millions?
They will buy very little if any from
abroad. THEY haze not tile means to do 1t
'ciN. They will try to live on scant
supply of roots and other cheap life
sustaining stuff. will suffer hunger and
some will perish. France will similar
ly economic. England will want 16O,-
600, 900 bushels and will get most of it;
business is fair there and the richer
classes will help the poorer ones; and
nearly all Of that OF its equivalent will
go from America. The working class,
and almost all other classes in our coun-
try, are prosperous, and this prosperity
will enable our manufacturers to make
larger sales, employ more operators,
and pay them enough to buy bread
stuffs. This will add to the consump-
tion and demand.
The Orange Judd Farmer is not a
bear in the market. While commiser-
ating the foreign sufferers, it greatly
rejoices in the abundant crops and the
good prices to be realized by our own
farmers.-It prospers as it's readers
prosper. But it cannot avoid words of
caution against the eNcitation of false
hopes and expectations that may cause
many to hold their grain for prices that
may not be realized. Please mark these
words to refer to or S months hence.

Incendiary Fires in Manchester.

MANCHESTER, March 16.-The citizens of this town are alarmed at the fre- quency of incendiary fires of late. They began with the big fire at the Union Mills with loss 10000. A second at tempt was made to burn the mill prop erty last week, the fire being started in double tenement house not 100 feet from the place where the first fire was started. The fire was confined to this house and big confiagration was avert ed. There have been a number of other fires recently of incendiary origin. The recent fires convinced the citizens that a fife department must be organized at once and accordingly the Union Hose company was organized last week with with H. B. Brandt as chief and Morris Herbert as foreman. There are twenty six active members and the company will meet every week to practice with the apparatus.

Efforts to Recover a Body.

An immense net is stretched across the Housatonic river below the two. mile island at Derby to keep the body of Bernard Gaynor, the young man drown ed some time ago at the dam, from drifting into the sound. Despite con- stant search the whereabouts of the body is yet mystery. The cap which Gaynor wore at the time he fell off the trestle was found Sunday floating at the Derby dock. Immediately a gang com menced to drag in the vicinity for the body, but without success.

coLLEY.s PETS ON THE STAND.
The Case Against Thomas Malley Looks
 Like Persecution.


 Like Persecution.
 Should Thomas Malley be convicted of selling liquor to minors 1t will not be the fault of Charles G. Root, his attor ney. Mir Malley was again unable to be present in court this morning, because of illness, and his attorney decided to hear the witnesses for the state. One could scarcely scare up two worse look ing witnesses than Agent Colley intro duced for his side of the case-Jerry O'Donnell and Patrick Dillane of police court fame. Dillane was sent into the district court room while O'Donnell was on the stand. His story of purchasing twenty cents worth of whiskey from Simon Brown, the bartender for Malley. | four weeks ago tonight, was down quite pat, but when cross-eXamined he hesitated, contradicted himself and finally had to be rebuked by Judge l Cowell for insolence oD the stand. Dill lanes story was similar as regards the whiskey purchased, but other little par ticulars concerning the night of the pur- chase differed materially from O'Don- nells testimony. Both witnesses were glad when they escaped from Attorney Roots hands. ODonnell looked sadly at Attorney Cnlley for some relief, but it Could not come, while Dillane con- tinually eyed O'DonneIl for pointers. The two attorneys had d lively tilt over the matter and Mir Root informed Mir Colley that he usually earned his $10 isily, but this time he would have to work for it. The case was continued until Saturday.

LETTER ON A POSTAGE STAMP.
X Curious Piece of COrrespOntlenc
 Handled by Postal Employees.

X Curious Piece of Correspondence
 Handled by Postal Employees.
 Postotlice novelties will never cease. The latest comes from the town of Ellington, in this state, and demon strates that Uncle Sam honors the face of his postage stamps, no matter how they turn up. Tine correspondence re ferred to may be termed a curious one in many ways. The economical feature is that writing paper and envelopes were dispensed with, the thoughts of the writer being put upon the mucilage side of a two cent stamp. On the lower edge of the stamp was a small margin of white paper, such as is found on the edges of d sheet of stamps. On this the address was written. and the stamps, in. stead of being placed on an envelope, was sent on it's important mission with a letter on it's back. It was written by Mrs J. F. Twiss of Shaker Station, this state. It arrived at Ellington all right, and was delivered to the person to whom it was addressed-Miss Lizzie L.. Kibbe. thus showing how carefully packages are handled by employees of the postal service.

 The annual convention of the Con necticut turnbezirk was held in Hart ford yesterday. Delegates were present from New Haven, Hartford, Holyoke, Bridgeport, New Britain, Rockville and from this city A. Hollman, NJ. Vogt and A. Kaufmaun were in attendance. After the reports of the officers, the reading of the minutes of the fourteenth convention, held at Waterbury, and the calling of the roll of delegates, it was decided that Meriden should elect the state officers for the ensuing year. The following officers were elected: Presi- dent. Thomas Hax of Meriden; vice president, B. Lahl of Meriden secre- tary, J. F. Finkel of Meriden treas urer, O. kiemble of Meriden: first turn master, H. Kramer of Meriden second turnmaster, O. Ruther of New Haven.
 It was decided to lave a school for the instruction of the turnmasters of the different societies. A committee consisting of H. Kramer of Merlden, O.. Ruther of New Haven, F. Egger of iolyoke. H. Weber of New Britain and Jacob Walz of Hartford. was appointed to have charge of the school. F. Egger will act as instructor and the school will open on March go at HolyCke, and will continue in session on the last Sunday in each month afterwards. It was de. cided to hold the next state turnfest in Hartford in 1899.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
The Lower Dam of the Meriden Reservoir
 Gives Way.

Gives Way.
 The lower dam at the Meriden reser- voir gave way Saturday the break being occasioned by the action of the frost on the stones. The break is in the center of the dam, near the top, and extends about eighteen or twenty feet, and the huge stones which formed the dam are scattered about below. It is fortunate that the break happened just at this time, so far as the loss of water is con- cerned, for as there are twenty-one and one half feet of it in the main reservoir at present, there Is no danger of a famine. The cost of repairing cannot be exactly estimated. But Superintend- ent Schleiter says he does not think that it will be over $500 or $400.
 Edward Butler, well known all over the state as one of the oldest of the New Haven newspaper men, fell Saturday afternoon on Prospect street in that city while taking a walk, and broke his hip. At his request he was taken to the hos pital and the broken bone was set by Dr Carmalt. It will be five or six weeks before he will be able to use his injured limb.
 Although at the time of the explosion of locomotive at Wallingford, Decem- Der last, the fireman, William Carroll of New Haven, was very seriously in- jured, ultimate recovery was expected until very recently. His death occurred Saturday evening. His age was forty five years. He leaves a widow and nine children.
 Mrs Solomon Gray, an aged widow of Westport, was stricken with paralysis two years ago and her condition pre- sents case that is puZzling the physi- Cians. Her left side is entirely useless and she has lost the power of speech. Her eyes never close, and although she apparently recognizes people and seem- ingly understands what they say, she pays no attention to visitors and only at times to members of the family. For days at time she is in comatose state.
 Mrs Friedman of Hartford, washed clothes Friday, and at noon there was a tub of scalding water in the middle of the kitchen floor. Her years old daughter Laurie crawled into the room while her mother was outside, chamber ed up the side of the tub, and fell into the water. When Mrs Friedman re- i entered the house httle Laurie's dead body was floating in the boiling water. i A serious runaway accident occurred on King street, Dan- bury. yesterday afternoon. Mrs George Brundage. while driving to l town, lost control of the horse and was thrown out of the carriage. She was found lying unconscious in the road an hour latter, with large wound in the head. The woman was cared for in the house of farmer near by, but up to 1C o'clock to-day had not regalned con. sciousness. She will probably die.
