Incendiary Fire in NalIingford.

WALLINGFoRD, May 21.-Fire was
discovered last night at 11:4O in the
barn owned by G. B. Mansfield, situated
near the depot. By the time the fire de-
partment reached the scene of the con-
migration the flames had made such
Roadway that the firemen devoted their
efforts to save the barn adjoining owned
by G. T. Morse which had caught fire
from flying sparks. Their efforts in
this direction were successful but Mans
fields barn was completely destr yed, to-
gether with five horses, three new
butcher carts, three carriages. large
number of harnesses and a large guam
tity of hay. The loss is placed at S.. 200:
insurance will reach $500. The origin
of the fire is mystery but it is believed
by many that it was set on fire by an
incendiary.

PARDoNe0 BY THE PRESIDENT.
The Green Goods Man Who Operated in
This CITY.

Inc Gfeen GOODS MAN VINO operated in
This City.
William c. Waters, convicted of vio-
lation of the postal laws, has been par
doned by the president. Waters oper-
ated in New Britain, Waterbury and
other places in the state, and upon con-
viction he was entenced to one year in
prison. The pardon is to take effect the
day before the expiration of his SEN
tence, thus allowing him to retain his
citizenship.
Waters was arrested about year ago
in New Britain, where he was known
as Z. NJ. Williams. In this city he gave
his name as G.. V. Reed, while in Meri-
den he was known as c. p. Dean. His
scheme was to send out circulars to
parties who were believed to be not
quite straight stating, in way to be I'M
derstood by the receiver of the circulars.
that he would furnish 800 in counter
felt money for $40, 1000 for $75, etc.
He would send his dupes as a sample a
good 81 bill, but after receiving money
and orders for large quantities of the
counterfeit. nothing more would be
heard from him. His victims did not
not dare say anything because they had
been making themselves liable to arrest
in attempting to buy the counterfeit
money.

JUDGE cowELL's OFFER.
Fifty Acres Of Land As Site For Al
Odd Fellows Home.

Fifty Acres Of Land As Site For An
Odd Fellows Home.
The important business of the after
noon session of the Grand lodge, |. ..
o. f., at Bridgeport. yesterday, was the
election of officers for the ensuing year.
Judge Cowell..of this city, who has been
deputy grand master the past year, was
elected grand master. and during the
course of his address made the generous
offer to the order to give them fifty
acres of ground near the city of Water
bury for site for the proposed home
for aged and infirm Odd Fellows, pro-
vided the necessary funds to erect the
building be forthcoming from the
lodges of the order. 1t is now gener-
ally supposed that the plan will go
through with a rush, as the approval of
the necessary two-thirls of the subOrdi-
nate lodges will now undoubtedly be
obtained. The plan proposed to secure
the funds for the building. which will
probably be adopted, is to assess each
member of the various lodges 81 per
year until such time as sufficient funds
have been obtained to erect the Struc-
ture. From present indications it would
seem that the Odd Fellows home of
Connecticut would become Il reality in
the very near future.
The following officers were elected
Grand master, George FL. Cowell of Wa
terbury: deputy grand master, Charles
B. Ware of New London; grand war
den, w. ii. Marigold of Bridgeport:
grand secretary, Frederick BotSford
of New Haven; grand treasurer,
John w. Smith of Waterbury;
representative to sovereign grand lodge,
F. S. Hunt of Bridgeport.
Grand Master Cowell made the fol-
lowing appointments: Grand Marshal,
&. Fred Barnes, Waterbury; grand con
ductor, Leopold de Leeuw, Hartford;
grand chaplain, Rev d. G. Ashley,
Thompsonville; grand guardian, w. w.
johnson, Deep River: grand herald, r.

A Claim on a Railroad.

A claim agent of the Wabash rail-

queer case the other day: "A fellow
put in claim for a cow that had been
killed by one of our trains, valuing the
animal at $50. Then in few days I
got letter from him signed Attorney
for Claimant The claim was of such
a character that l could not pay him
what he asked, and I decided to stand
suit. The result of it was that he tried
it before himself as a justice of the
peace, served the notices himself as
deputy appointed by himself as the
justice of the peace, and gave judg-
ment in favor of himself for about SO.
He had in bill for his costs as justice
of the peace, deputy constable, attor-
ney's fees for himself as attorney. and
the original claim of $50 Did the
company pay him? Well, / guess we
didn't. He was regular Pooh-Bah."

Tremendous Blast OF Big Gums.

Few people, says a naval officer,
appreciate the tremendous power of
the blast caused by firing big gun on
board of ship. An example of its eff.
feet was seen in some recent trials in
firing the 67-ton gun of the new battle
ship Trafalgar, considered one of the
three or four finest vessels in the
British navy. The gun was pointed
directly ahead and fired with charge
of $50 pounds of burning powder
and 1,250-pound projectile. The
blast produced by the rush of the pow
der-gas and the shot was so tremen-
dous that the plates of the forecastle
were forced in and the deck beams bent
out of shape, while almost every round
carried away some fragment of the
projecting portions of the ship, even
when the training was to the right or
the left. 1t is estimated that the vessel
would be reduced to something very
like wreck were twenty-five rounds
to be fired, either directly ahead or
directly astern. This interferes with
or renders impossible firing when
either in fight or chase, and has caused
our naval constructors to modify the
plans for the projected battle-ships, as
it is not deemed desirable to have them
sink from the discharge Of their own
guns. IN 7. Tribune.
