THE COMING SHAM FIGHr.

The white Squadron NIanoeuvres
Soon to be Held on New London
Harbor.
If the program prepared by Rear Ad-
miral ]. q. Walker, commanding the squad
ron of evolution, is carried out, the people
of this city will have an opportunity to
form pretty good estimate of what a mod
ern naval engagement means.
1t is off the mouth of the harbor, close to
Fishers Island and in GARDENERS bay, that
the White squadron will spend week in
their manoeuvres. Fishers Island was de-
cided on by the navy department some
time ago as the best place to operate upon
Fisher's Island, Little Gull Island and
Plum Island are practically the keys to
Long Island sound, and these would be
one of the first points attacked by foreign
naval power.
Almost every movement known in naval
| warfare is to be tried for the benefit of
| the New York Naval militia, whose mem
bers are to take part in all the evolutions
| and drills, from firing great guns and
small arms to attacking supposed enemy
with torpedoes at night.
There are about 225 men in the First
bhtbd11Ou u AdSd1 tu0
| officers. Their work begins in earnest on
Saturday, July 25, when they are to re-
port on board the steamer Stonington at
New York at TAO a. m. She will convey
| them direct to New London. The squadron
| will precede them.
Sunday will be devoted to divine service
| on board the flagship, and probably a
general visiting Of all the vessels. Monday
the first division will be assigned to the
Newark, the second division to the Boston,
the third to the Atlanta; two guns crews
of the fourth division and crew of officers
to the Concord; two guns crews of the
fourth. division and a crew of officers to
the Yorktown. Each guns crew will con-
| sist of twelve men. They will be assigned
to replace the ships gun crews as the COM
! handing officer of the ship may direct.
On every succeeding day the naval mill
tia will take part in the handling of the
ships, guns and boats, and on the night of
the fourth day at 10 o'clock they will at
tempt to blow up the ships of the squad
ron with blank torpedoes. The men of
the militia are looking forward with much
enthusiasm to the sham marine battles in
which they are to take part, for, though it
will involve plenty of hard work, the labor
will be in a good cause.-New London
Telegraph.

The Old North Haven Pest House

x
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The statement in Mr.. S. B. Thorp's an
nails about pest house south of my house
near Hamden line I think incorrect, but
tradition says it was further south on the
ridge in the town of Hamden. There were
buried man and his wife, who died of
the smallpox some 100 or 1870 years ago.
I think the land is now owned by Mr..
William Benham, and think Mr.. Benham
can show the stone and themarks on stone
where they were buried.
1888, March, the question was put
whether liberty shall be given to Drs.
Aaron and Joseph Elliott to set up hospi-
tai at dwelling house of John Hubbard,
ESQ.,, under such restrictions and regula-
tons as shall be prescribed by the civil
authority and selectmen of the town.
It was voted IN the negative.-Hamden

Ex-Governor walters Return From
Chicago.

SnACdSos
A dispatch from Greenport, L. l., says
that Martin B.. Waller, son of ex-Govern-
| or Thomas NJ Waller of Connecticut, Sec
| rotary and treasurer of the Long Island
Brick company of that place, has been
| among the missing for several days, and it
is now reported that he is short in his &C.
counts.
The Long Island Brick company has cap
ital of 81 200, 900, D. G. Page being presi-
dent Ex-Governor Waller is a heavy
stakeholder in the concern. He has ar
rived home from Chicago. Mr.. Wagner of
this city, law partner of Ex-Governor Wal
Ter, thinks there is no defalcation in the
case.
NOT A DEFAULTER FOR CENT-wHAT Ex-
GOVERNOR WALLER SAYS.
New LONDON. July lex Governor
Waller, the father of Martin B. Waller,
was interviewed this evening in regard to
the absence of his son, who is secretary
and treasurer of the Long Island Brick
company, and who is said to be defaulter
for a large amount. Ex-Governor Waller
said: '1 am very much mortified that
such cruel and ridiculous story should
have obtained circulation. Especially so
since my sons apparently inexcusable but
innocent carelessness has probably been
the cause of it. He has been absent on
business of the company for an unusually
long time without reporting, but not 30
long as has been stated. In four weeks he
has wired the company three times, and
last evening he sent telegram stating
that he would be at. the Office
on Tuesday. My son Martin is not
q defaulter for cent, and the sug-
gestion about woman being in it is alto
gether sensational; but about this feature
of the business do not care to talk. If
the boy is like his father he may be sus-
ceptible, but he is not dishonest. In his
own right he is the third largest owner of
the stock of the company, and he is not
stupid enough to run away to Brooklyn
with his own money, or to elope alone"
Martin B. Waller is a member Of the
New London county bar, popular young
man of excellent habits, and his honesty is
not doubted by those who know him.
Governor Waller left for New York to-
night an route to Detroit. On the train he
was handed telegram from Martin stating
that he would meet his father the ar
rival Of the train in New York.

Military Reservation in Early Kansas.


All along the outer margin Of the res
ervation were grouped the camps Of en-
igrants: not many of them, but enough
to present a curious and picturesque
sight. There were few tents, but
most Of the emigrants slept in or under
their wagons. There were no women
or children in these camps, and the
hardy men had been SO we'll seasoned by
their past experiences, journeying to
this far western part Of the territory that
they did not mind the exposure of sleep
ing on the ground and under the open
skies. Soldiers from the fort, off duty
and curious to hear the news from the
outer world. came Longing around the
camps and chatted with the emigrants
In that cool. superior manner that marks
the private soldier when he meets a civil
ian on an equal footing away from the
haunts of men.
The boys regarded these uniformed
military servants of the government Of
the United States with great respect. and
even with some awe. These, they thought
to themselves, were the men who were
there to fight Indians, to protect the Dor
der, and to keep back the rising tide Of
wild hostilities that might, if it were not
for them, sweep down upon the feeble
territory and even inundate the whole
western country.-Noah Brooks in St.
Nicholas.

What One Boy Accomplished by Recalling,
lknew boy, scrap Of lad, who
almost needed high chair to bring him
up to the general level of the dining
table, who liked to read the encyclopedia.
he was always hunting round in the big
books Of the encyclopedia-books abont
his own side-for what he wanted to
know. He dug in it as another boy
would dig in the woods for sassafras
root. 1t appeared that he was interested
in natural history and natural phe-
nomena. He asked questions of these
books, exactly as he would ask living
authority, and kept at it till he got an
swers. He knew how to read. Soon
that boy was an authority ON earth
quakes. He liked to have the converse
ton at table turn on earthquakes, for
then he seemed to be the tallest person
at the table. l suppose there was no
earthquake anywhere of any importance
but that he could tell where it occurred
and what damage it did, how many
houses it buried, and how many people
it killed, and what shape it left the
country III nau shaken.
From that he went on to try to dis
cover what caused these disturbances,
and this led him into other investiga-
tons, and at last into the study Of
electricity, practical as well as the
oretical. He examined machines and
invented machines. and kept on read
ing, and presently he was an expert in
electricity. He knew how to put in
wires and signals and bells, and to DO
q number Of practical and useful things,
and almost before he was able to enter
the high school he had great deal of
work to do i'll the city and three or four
men under him. These men under him
had not read as much about electricity
as he had.-Charles Dudley Warner in
st. Nicholas,
