ACCIDENT AND 1NcIDnxr.

A Boy Thought to Have stood Up
 and Talked After Breaking His
 Neck. '.
 A singular story is told of the death of Ernest King, son of Ralph King, jr, of Hartford, from A double-ripper acci- dent at Jonesvills, Somers, last Satur- day. It was printed that the boy was killed by breaking his neck. It now appears that his companions maintain that after being thrown off the sled young King got up, said he was all right, and immediately fell and was taken up dead. Then it was found that his neck was broken. Whether it was broken at the time of the accident or in the subsequent fall, perhaps due to other injuries, is question still un- answered.

EDO KNEW THE MARK,

smart Dog Who Used to Sort Hoes
 by the Brand.
 One of Seattle's leading physicians. who brags that he is "a descendant of one of the first families of Virginia sah!' tells story of dogs sagacity that is rather astonishing, to say the least.
 ''When I was a boy" said the doctor. my father used to keep a large mum. Der of hogs. Sometimes he would have as many as hundred on the farm. We were constantly annoyed by the hogs belonging to our neighbors getting in with ours. The only way we could tell them was branding mark on the shoulder. But Fido's sagacity used to save us great deal of trouble. Every morning the dog used to run in among the hogs. It is difficult to believe, but it is an actual fact that that dog got SO that he knew the branding mark. He would go up to every hog in turn, put his front paws on the porker's shoulder and look at the mark. lift was ours he let the hog go, but if it was any other mark he would take the hog by the ear. lead it to the gate and then stand there barking until some one came to let if out.
 But Fido's sagacity did not end there. He soon got so that he knew every mark, so that when the gate was opened he would lead the hog by the ear a short distance in the direction it ought to go and then stand there barking until it was out of sight. t."-Seattle Press

President Rico Declines Rs-Election
 and C. NJ. Upsoa Is ChOsen.
 The annual meeting of the board of trade, held last evening, was largely at tended and several important matters were discussed. The meeting was call ed to order by President Rice.
 The first business was the election of officers, and $. w. Kellogg moved that the secretary be instructed to cast one ballet fer the old officers.
 President Rice declined reelection, saying that he had served two years and he thought there were many capable men in the board who could fill the position.
 The members were unanimous in the opinion that Mir Rice should serve another year, but he insisted that some other member of the board should be chosen.
 General Kellogg then nominated c. M. Cpson for president, and he was unanimously elected. Mir Upson thank ed the meeting for the honor conferred upon him. A formal ballot was then taken to fill Mr Upson's place as second vice-president, resulting in the election of f. B. Rice.
 Colonel Doherty declined reelection as secretary owing te his duties at the postoffice. N. R. Bronson was elected to the office. The secretary then cast . ballot for the other officers of the pre- vious year. The old board of directors were then reelected, with the exception of H. F. Baker and H. A. Matthews, $. F. Williams and G. H. Gloves being elected in their places.
 D. B. Hamilton, '. B. Rice and H. L.. Wade were appointed delegates to the meeting of the state board of trade to be held in Hartford, January q.
 Mir Rice read a letter he had received from a representative of a concern in Philadelphia who manufacture electri- cal supplies. The firm now employ forty hands. but wish to have place where they can employ 100 or more. The company want lot COOKIES feet, or of 200x125 feet, with the privilege of afterwards buying the other 400 feet. Or if there was a new factory in town they would rent it with the privilege of purchasing, as they de- sire clean rooms. The representative called on Mir Rice some time ago and was shown many of the available sites and one or two of the empty factory buildings.
 Mir Rice said the company does not want to sell any of its stock. The re- presentative intends to visit Mir Rice soon again. The board talked up the matter discussing very thoroughly the many available sites.
 President Rice received a vote of thanks in behalf of the board for his hard work.
 The regular weekly meeting night was changed to Friday, when the direct ors will appoint the several committees.

DEATH BED INSURANCE.

Serious Trouble Created Among
 Knights of Columbus.
 The action of the late John F. O'Grady, who was a member of Roderigo council, K. of C., of New Haven, and who let his dues accumulate until they amounted to about $14 and then had them paid just before he died, has resulted in the deposing of Grand Knight Edward Linn and Financial Secretary John T. Shan nahan of Roderigo council and the issu- ance of an order that if the sum accept ed as dues from the late John F. O'Grady is not returned to his relatives inside of ten days, the council will be suspended. This is the decision of the board or government which has had the matter under consideration for the past two weeks, and, as there is no appeal from the decision of the board, it is final.
 The case is very complicated and will undoubtedly result in a lawsuit on the part of O'Grady's heirs, who will try to compel the Knights of Columbus to pay the death benefit of $1 1000, to which they assert they are entitled.
 The case is being watched with much interest by members of the order. O'Grady died few days before Labor day, in 1890. When his friends saw that his sickness was mortal one thsY forwarded the amount of his indebted ness to Secretary Shannahan's house. At the next meeting of Roderigo council, when the matter was brought before the members, the acton of the secretary was upheld. When the question of pay ment of the $1 ,000 benefit came before the board of government an investiga- tion was commenced, ,and it has resulted as stated above.

A JUST BEAST.

The Queer Compliment a Rugby Boy Paid
 His Teacher.
 When Dr. Temple held the headmas- tership of Rugby, a boy in the school came up before him for some breach of discipline. Facts seemed rather against the boy. who was in imminent danger of being expelled. He had a defense, but being neither clear-headed nor fluent in the presence of the headmaster, he could not make it clear He therefore wrote home to his father, detailing at length his position and explanation. His father very wisely thought the best thing he could do was to send the boys letter as it stood to Dr. Temple, merely asking him to overlook any familiarity of ex- pression. Apparently the father had not turned over the page and seen his sons postscript, for there Dr. Temple found the following words: ''If could explain it would be all right, for though Temple is.a beast, he is just beast. l" The Bishop, in telling tho story, is ace customed to say that 1t was the greatest compliment he has eve1 received -Trov

Alleged Theft in q Hotel.

H. c. Cotton of Montpelier, N. Y, a guest at the Tontine hotel in New Ha- ven, Thursday night, asserts that $50 and gold watch were taken from his room the night he stayed there. No complaint was made to the police, how ever, and Colton left the town yester- day. At the hotel the clerk said that he had heard that Mir Colton had lost the money, but knew nothing about it. He added that it is hard to tell whether money or valuables are lost at hotel or outside. The proprietor of the hotel was, however, not responsible for the loss of any valuables or money unless entrusted to his care and put into the safe

 Quarantined.

Quarantined. s~.
 Dr Castle called upon Health Officer O'Hara yesterday evening and reported that he suspected that an Italian woman, living with the Tocchio Brothers, on the Meriden road, near Harper's ferry, was suffering from smallpox. He had not fully determined whether the disease was the dreaded smallpox, but thought it best to take no chances and so notified the health off cer, Dr O'Hara went at once to the fruit store kept by the Tocchio Brothers, at 199 Bank street, and ordered the place closed. He also instructed the men not to allow any of their family to come to the city until the nature of the malady from which the woman at their house is suffering, is determined. This afternoon Health Officer O'Hara and Dr Mcdonald went to see she patient and after care full diagnosis of the case found that the woman was not suffer ing from smallpox.
 Late this afternoon the quarantine upon Tocchio Brothers store was raised.

The num- Der of mothers exceed the number of births or vice versa. The total of deaths in one table differ from the total in another table-the sex of decedents omitted altogether.
