 The Light Guards headquarters at the armory will be completely renovated and refurnished immediately after the re- turn of the company from camp.

.RErURNrNG VETERANS.

c. A. R. Men Who Have Returned
 From DetrOit-The Long March
 The Invitation to the Naval Veter-
 ans to Baltimore Next Year-Admi-
 ral w. s. Wells.
 Several veterans of this city have return ed from the recent convention of G. A. R. men at Detroit. They speak in high terms of the occasion. There were, of course, some unpleasant experiences, but the trip taken altogether was very much enjoyed by the New Haven people. The long march was very tiresome, as the route was about five miles in length. This proved too long for many of the veterans, two of
 whom died from over-exertion caused by
 the unusual tramp. At the next conven-
 tion, which will meet next year in Wash
 ington, it is proposed to have the march
 not to exceed two miles in length. The
 oity of Detroit was so overcrowded with
 guests that many people obtained rooms with di6culty. One of the veterans who neturned on Thursday made the remark that he "had not slept in a bed since he left New Haven" The headquarters of
 the Connecticut delegation was at the Rus
 sell house.
 Among those who returned yesterday
 were Samuel D. Hyde, the barber; w. E.
 Goodnough, the naval veteran, and James A. Church and wife. Naval Commander in-Chief Wells and Commander w. E.
 Morgan, of Admiral Foote post, were ex.
 pected home last evening.
 The veterans give great praise to w. s. Wells, commander-in-chief of the naval
 veterans, who was complimented by re-
 election to that office for the ensuing year In addition to this honor he was promoted | to the rank of admiral. Many of the visi, tors complimented Admiral Wells highly for the zeal and ability with which he has handled the duties of his position dur | ing his charge of the organization. The naval veterans are in great exulta- tion over the hospitable and pressing in vitation of the citizens of Baltimore. These citizens have invited the naval veterans to spend week with them free of expense to the visitors next year.
 The time that these veterans are to be guests in Baltimore is the week before the national G. A. R. encampment of next year at Washington. Five thousand dollars have been raised by Baltimore people, who propose to raise SIC, ,000 more to be devoted to the same object. As the invitation has
 been accepted, it will be a genuine red letter week for the naval veterans. It is evident that the citizens of Baltimore pro pose to entertain the naval boys with characteristic, cordial southern hospi,
 tality.

HOW TIT HAPPENED. /,
The Missing New Britain Man-Hfs
 Friends Looking for the Body.

 Friends Looking for the Body.
 Yesterday forenoon the brother of David Orton of New Britain, who it is supposed was drowned at Steamboat dock Thursday night, and some friends who were on board the Elm City with the missing man, came to this city that they might make preparations for the burial in case the body should be found.
 The brother, who, it turns out, was not on the excursion, called on MT. P. Sisk of Grand avenue and gave instructions to him to have the body taken care of, if found. The persons who came with him here told him the story. They are Joseph Slaney, James McNisl, Jacob Schneider J. Schneider, who were on the boat with the missing man. The following they give as correct:
 David Orton was on the hurricane deck of the Elm City when it was coming near New Haven harbor. He was asleep and his head was resting on the lap of young lady with whom he had come aboard. When near Long wharf he was aroused by his companion and male friend who told him that they were near the dock. He got up and being in rather daZed con- dition walked around little.
 It will be remembered by many that have seen the boat that the hurricane deck has no guard rail, in fact it does not need it, except at this particular place. Under the part referred to there is 1ifeboat, and as this takes up the passageway there can be no passing there. This is on the deck immediately below the hurricane deck. This has railing except where the boat is. If 8 person should fall from the hurricane deck he would be caught by the railing be- low. Orton, however, fell where the boat was, and, striking the boat, rolled off into the water. He came to the surface once and then sank. The young lady was al most frantic. She had picture of the drowned man and was exhibiting it to the crowd. Much delay was caused by some one cutting the rope when the boat was lowered, one end being down while the other was held up. When it was lowered it was found to be full of water, and the first man who jumped in overturned it and had to be hauled in by the other boat which was lowered with less trouble. UT to late hour last night the body had no1 been recovered, although efforts had beer made in that direction.

Hood Poison

Is very liable to follow contact of the hands or face with what is known as poi son ivy, especially in hot weather or if the body is perspiring freely. The trouble may subside for a time, only to appear in aggravated form when opportunity offers. saparilla thoroughly eradicate every trace of poison from the blood, as the cures it has accomplished conclusively show. It also cures scrofula, salt rheum and all other affections arising from impure or poisoned blood.
