The BreWerieS.

The Breweries of this company are located at Bridgeport and Meriden, Connecticut.
 The former owners of the MERIDKs BREWERY COMPANY and the A. WINTER & Co. Brewery, believing that the consolidation of the two indus tries and the participation of the public and GUS. toners as stockholders in the profits of the Com pany will largely increase the busin ess ot the breweries, have incorporated this company for the purpose of acquiring, enlarging and carrying on the business under management, and having a large interest in the stock of this com pany have agreed to remain in the direction and management of the same upon salaries not ex- ceeding in the aggregate five thousani dollars per annum.
 The Bridgeport Brewery, established a quarter of a century ago, and for many years under the present management, owns and occupies valu- able tract of land in the center of the City of Bridgeport, the railroad being directly in the rear. The brewery. refrigerating machiney building and dwelling house of the manager substantial stru ctures of brick The other build iuss are well fitted for the business aud all in good condition.
 The Meriden Brewery owns and occupies a val uable property in the center of the city of Meri- den, extending through the block side track of the New York and New Haven railroad runs alongside the brewery buildings. Ths main building is five stories high The buildings are of brick, with stone trimmings. This Is model brewery in every respect. It is fitted with every improvement and facility for manufacturing Ale Porter and Lager Beer on the most modern and scientific methods known to the trade.
 The output of these breweries is mostly taken by old and regular customers in their immediate vicinity The business is well established and steadily incre asing Many Of the customers have already subscribed to the stock of the company. The present capacity of the breweries Is more than double the present output, and this may be increased with little cost the business requires it
 Tho location of these breweries in the Cities of Bridgeport and Meriden is peculiarly fortunate. Bridgeport, near the State line of New York. is within an hour of New Haven, Norwalk, Stam- ford Greenwich, Portchester and New Rochelle Meriden equidistant from Hartford and New Haven is within an hour of Waterbury, Middle town, wallingford, Ansonia, New Britain and Birmingham, and is in the center of the most populous section of the State.
 The quality of the Ale, Porter and Lager Beer output of these breweries is best attested by the large and constantly increasing sales At the Meriden establishment Ale, Stout and Porter as this Ale for the New York market is now done by the customers. The company itself, however, intends to enter at once upon this fprof1table branch of the business.

 INTERESTING SKETCH BY CAPTAIN J. N. COZ.
 Captain J. N. Coe of New Haven, who served in the war in the old Second Con- necticut Heavy Artillery, gave valuable sketch of the history of Admiral Foote post, of which the following is an abstract:
 Realizing the impossibility of prepar- ing satisfactory synopsis of the history of Admiral Foote' post in the short time at my disposal, as well as the truth of the saying of Macaulay that nothing is less attractive than an epitome,' promise you in advance that my paper shall possess the grace of brevity.
 "On the 11th day of April, 1867, the de- partment of Connecticut, G. A. R., was organized at Hartford, and on the 7th of September following, Department Com mander Harland granted the petition of Henry c. Pardee, w. NJ. Lucas Thomas S. Gilbert, George M. Harmon, George Hendricks, F. M. Lovejoy, S. H. Perkins, and Lester E. Braley, for charter for a post in New Haven but not until the 26th of March, 1868, was it's organization effect ed. Of the first meeting the records are very brief, but two items recorded will show that even in those days the right men were sometimes found for important places. A committee was named to draft suitable rules, regulations and by laws for the government of this post" and Com rade E. C. Dow assigned prominent place thereon, and a committee for securing a place of meeting was headed by Comrade John Mccarthy. Both these men were criticised as much as latter day trustees al- though the latter succeeded in his object pretty well. Of our present members. Comrades A. 0. Hendricks, William A. Lincoln, George M. Harmon, John Nc Carthy, Edwin c. Dow, M. A. Butrick, and F. M. Lovejoy were present.
 s.The post was at first known as No. 5, then as No. IT, and August 10, 1868, it's present name was unanimously adopted. Systematic assistance of unfortunate com rades and the widows and orphans of the fallen has been from the first the great object of the organization. The first com mittee for this purpose was named June l, 1868. There was an evident disposi- tion on the part of some of the members of the post, from 1888 to 1881, to use it for ambitious personal purposes, aand though this disposition was firmly re-

Italy's Last Move in the New
Orleans Matter
Made to Ascertain the Temper
of the People.
Our Own Government Work
ing on Its Case.
ItaIY's Latest Move.

ROME, April 1.-THE principal topic
of conversation today has been the latest
report put in circulation last evening, to
the effect that unless the American gov
eminent made a speedy reply to Premier
RudIni's last note Minister Porter would
be positively requested to leave Rome, and
the Italian delegation be recalled from
Washington. Such an attitude on the
part of the Italian government seemed
so unreasonable, in view of all recent de.
velopments, that last nights report was
at first generally dIscredited. Many OF
the newspapers, however. today gave it
prominence and asserted the belief that
it was substantially correct. They say
America will be allowed until the 18th of
April to reply. The original report fixed
today as the limit. The original source of
the report seems to give il increased plaus-
Utility. This, it is learned, was a
prominent member of the chamber of
deputies, who is an ardent supporter of
Rudini and believed to share his con
hdence. Whether or not the premier
has actually decided upon the extreme
course indicated is questionable, This
course is under discussion in high govern
ment circles, and meets with favorable
comment. 1t may be the deputy who
started the report supposed a decision had
been reached wnen the subject was really
only being considered, and 1t may be that
the report was given out to test public
opinion before the cabinet should commit
itself absolutely to so grave a step. Dis
patches from America hint that Secretary
Blaine has already prepared his answer.
and that it is Thought likely he has al.
ready sent it 70 Rome instead of through

WASHINGTON April l1.-Secretary
Blaine was indisposed today and confined
to his room BIZ an attack of govt. In the
course of the afternoon the president
walked over and consulted with the secre-
tary respecting diplomatic matters that
may require action during the presidents
approaching absence from Washington.
1t is now a matter OF positive knowledge
that the Italian government has not sent
to this government or any of its repre-
sentatives notification that a reply is ex-
pected to the Marquis Rudini note within
any specified time. Ii is not customary
in diplomatic nor any national undertake
ing to dictate the date of correspondence
coming from another nation, and
had Italy adopted this course
it would certainly be regarded with
umbr1ge by our own government and
would excite great surprise among the
diplomats of other nations whose customs
are regulated by unwritten but almost
immutRble laws. As stated in Secretary
Blaine's letter to the Marquis Imperial,
the government of the United States pro
poses to deal with the question earnestly,
but With caution and elaboration. The
department of state is not coutenting itself
with q specific inquiry into the history of
the antecedeuts of the New Orleans vic
tins. 1t proposes TO show the Italian
government the extent OF the evil of un
restricted immigration from which the
United States is now suffering, and this
purpose necessitates PLAIN dealing
with the character of a consId.
cradle element of our population
which has largely been recruited from
Italy. So some interesting statistics are
in course of preparation that will touch
with blunt directness upon the number of
murders and outraRes committed in recent
years in the United States by members of
the Malta and other secret Italian organic
ations, and upon vendettas that are i'm
ported into the United States to the
disturbance of the peace and involving
cost to our taxpayers in the prosecution
of the malefactors. Time 10 required to
compile these facts, and the department
will take the necessary time. In high
official circles there has been no change in
the opinion that the New Orleans matter
Is being manipulated in Italy to influence
Italian politics.

CoNNERsvTLLE, Ind, April 1.-THE
little village of Metamora. located eigh-
teen miles south of this place, is enjoying
a genuine sensation of an unusual nature,
aud which will furnish food for the Cos
sips for many days. Twenty years ago
Fred collar, who was a merchant OF that
hamlet, suddenly disappeared, leaving a
wife, a I-Year-old daughter and several
creditors, among the latter being his
partner, to lament his departure. From
that time until a day or W ago nothing
was heard of collar, and he was entirely
forgotten by all save a few relatives. The
deserted wife with her little daughter and
a sou, born a few weeks after the disap-
pearance Of the father, still continued to
live in her native village, and for years
she sought 10 vain for her fugitive hus-
band. MANY thought he would return
after a time to his family, but the years
rolled around and still no sign of his
coming. Various rumors were circulated,
some claiming his death. but nothing au-
thentic was learned of him. The for
saken wife received many offers of mar.
rage by men who tried to convince her
that her husband was long since dead. but
she remained true to him and her little
family. The daughter gradually grew to
be a beautiful woman and was married a
few years ago.
The son, growing to manhood. deter
mined to learn the whereabouts OF his
father if be still lived. Notices we're put
In Western papers asking for information
concerning his father. One of these
found its way into a paper IN a mining
district in California, and a friend of
Zoller's called his attention to it. Stricken
with remorse, the father Immediately
made arrangements to return to his
family snd repair the injustice done them
all these long years. He reached his old
home last night, and husband and wife
are again united, and the children at last
know the father who has been as unreal
to the them as a dream. 1t is reported
that Zoller has accumulated considerable
wealth during his absence, spent wholly
in the mining districts of California, and
that he will make PREPARATION to his

The Palermo Mon.) Fruit Growers
association, which recently affiliated
with the California State Board of
Trade, sent to San Francisco a large
model of the Union church, which is To-
Gated at Palermo colony in Butte. The
model has been erected in the board Of
trade rooms, and is now on exhibition.
The miniature church is an exact model
in every detail of the original, and just
one-seventh its size. 1t is 10 feet in
length, 81 feet wide and III feet in
height. The roof, gables and bell tower
are covered with oranges, some thou
sands of which are used, while in the
windows and around the pedestals are
arranged exhibits Of nuts, dried and
fresh fruits and other products of the
colony. As the oranges used in decorat-
ing the church wither they will be taken
away and fresh fruit substituted until
the orange season is over, when other
fruits, dried and fresh, will be used for
decorating, making it a standing unique

OMAHA, April 1l.-Only twelve Bur
lington. switchmen have struck here and
their places have been filed without any
serious trouble. The strikers visited the
yards today and persuaded two of the
men to quit, but no violence was attempt
ed. The strikers state that they struck
because they were denied the right to
join the union. One of the men stated
that Yardmaster Davis had said he bad
received orders to hire no union men.
The yardmaster positively denies this.

preme council of the Order of Railway
Employees will meet here Monday. 1t is

ing a general strike on the Burlington

Threw Her Babe Into a Wei.

MACoMB, Ill, April 1.-Two weeks
z Maggie Blackstone, l9 years of age.
came to Colchester to visit with her sister,
Mrs. John Florein. She had had
criminal relations with a man in the
Indian Territory, and was soon to become
a mother. Thursday last she went to the
o~uthcuse, aud. as WIS aiterward proved,
there gave birth t0>a child. She took the
little thing and tossed it down the well.
The people living in the other part of the
house suspicioned that something was
wrong with the girl and their suspicious
we're strengthened when, a few daYs ago,
the water in the well became so impure
that they could not use it. Investigations
we're made. and yesterday the body Of a
child was found in the well. The Black
stone girl at first strongly denied that she
knew anything about il, but afterwards
confessed to her sister the facts as above
stated, claiming, however, that the child
was born dead. The ooroner's jury found
a verdict of murder. and the girl was
brought to Macomb and confined in jail.
What has become of the author of her
ruin is not known, as he left the Indian
Territory a short time before she did.

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE investigation
into the alleged plot to blow up with
dynamite the distillery of H. II. Shufeldt
by Secretary Gibson of the whisky trust,
was continued today by the federal grand
jury. Government Gauger Dewar, who,
1t is alleged, Gibson sought to bring into
the plot and several other persons were
examined. 1t is said the government has
evidence to show that the material ioe the
explosive compound was bought at
COlburn d Bink's drug store, iu Peoria,
and that the compound was made in the
laboratory OF the trust at Peoria. Govern
ment officials assert that the trust has
been using large amounts of money to buy
of witnesses before the grand jury, and
hint that some of the witnesses who have
been examined will be prosecuted for
perjury. This afternoon VIM. BURY,
attorney for Gibson, entered the office of
United States Marshal Hitchcock and
gave that official a severe tongue lashIng
for the alleged high handed arrests
of witnesses. Mr.. Hitchcock says Burry's
attack was without justification and that
the government simply took the precau-
ton that Ashford, the colored %janitor for
the trust at Peoria, should be brought be-
fore the grand Jury without giving anyone
connected with the defense a chance to
coach him. This was done, with valu-
able results to the prosecution. Ashford,
1t is said, testified to having gone into Che
trust laboratory one night and accident
ally broken a bottle on a shelf. The con-
tents ignited and Ashford was seriously
burned in extinRuishing the flames. THIS
testimony and the evidence that Gibson
personally purchased phosphorus is re-
garded by government officials as tending
heavily to fasten upon him the guilt OF
constructing the peculiar internal machine
said to have been designed to blow up the
big anti trust distillery.
