Stone ut His Neighbour.
Bernard Dressed, who lives on Chat
field avenue, was prisoner IN the
police court this morning, charged with
throwing a stone at Mrs Matthew
Kenney, his next door neighbor, last
Friday night. Dressed claimed TO be
entirely innocent, and his attorney,
Charles G. Root, endeavored to show
that the complaint was brought through
spite, Dressed having recently caused
the arrest of Mrs Kenney's father for
keeping an unlicensed dog, which had
bitten his son. Judge Bradstreet I'M
posed fine of 81 and costs.
Patrick Boylan, a crippled boy. was
charged with striking Mary Ann Moran
with a stone last evening, ON Dublin

that the girl aggravated him by calling
him names. She denied saying any
thing to the boy until he pushed her
from the sidewalk without cause. DIR
Axtelle was called to dress a deep flesh
wound in the~girls forehead. Judge
Bradstreet discharged the boy with a
reprimand.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
Miss Alice Woodward of Shelton is Still
HiccoughinE.

Miss Alice Woodward of Shelton is Still
HiccOughing.
Miss Alice Woodward, the Shelton
young lady who suffered so much last
winter from hiccoughs and who was
thought to be cured by inhaling
trouble. 1t is stated, by her
uncle, johnson G. Dayton, the shoe
dealer, that she hiccoughs every time
she attempts to eat, and that she never
fully recovered. Her condition at
present is very poor and the amyl and
hundreds of other things applied have
no effect. -
Yesterday afternoon DIR Charles
Keller of New Canaan was summoned
to the residence of DIR David DeForest, a
Methodist minister of Eastwood, five
miles distant. He found the clergyman
and his seven year old son in great
agony, with symptoms of poisoning.
After working for several hours he sue
ceeded in bringing them out of danger.
1t is believed they were poisoned by eat
ing cake. For two weeks a travelling
minister named Church, who is believed
to be insane, has been stopping at DR.
DeForest's house and it is believed he
placed the poison upon the cake. He
has disappeared.
At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, ac.
cording to previous arrangement, the
body of the woman found dead in the

ago in the cemetery in that town, was
disinterred. Patrick Hanahan of Hart
ford. who was sure before that the
woman was his wife. was present, and
with him was his brother and his wife's
three sisters. The body was we'll pre-
served, and the moment that the lid was
removed from the coffin the last posi-
bic vestage of doubt of the woman S
identity vanished.
1t is said that Captain Norton, who
sailed away from New London several
months ago, to cross the Atlantic in a
little row boat, for it wasn't much else,
and never showed up again, had his life
insured for $4,000 before he started.
After a reasonable amount of time has
warranted the assumption that the cap
tain is dead this money will be paid to
his son. The rest of Captain Norton's
family were with him on his boat, and
if he is lost they are lost.
The decomposed body of an unknown
man was found in the water at New
London last night. The face was
smooth, the hair dark and thick and the
body was attired in dark clothing, pea
jacket, laced walking shoes with thick
soles, and had the general appearance of
seafaring man, five feet and six inches
in height, weight about $50, and aged
between 30 and 40 years.

FARM HELP WANTED.
Complaints of Scarcity From Farmers
All Over New England.

MI UNer New EhSIthU.
j. H. Hale, the well-known granger
of South Glastonbury, hears complaints
the scarcity of farm help this spring.
1t is said that many farmers will have
to curtail their planting on this account,
and yet the papers from the larger cities
tell us of the great number of poor men
unable to obtain work. There is some
thing wrong somewhere, when mt N
crowd the cities and almost starve for
the want of work, while so many in the
country are anxious to give them a
home and good wages in exchange for
honest work. From personal knowledge
Mr. Hale thinks 200 good men could at
once find employment on farms right in
Hartford county at from $40 to $25 per
month and board.

A swindler is working the towns here
abouts in a peculiar manner, and if peo-
pie have been caught in the way they
are alleged to have been it does not
seem as if they were entitled to much
sympathy. The scheme of the man is
said to have been to secure a subscriber
to II book and the payment of dollar
down, the price of the book to be $3.50.
Later in the day he would call and say
that he had just received word from the
house to stop that manner of doing bust
ness and instructing him to collect 50
instead of one and that would pay for
the book as they had reduced the price.
Several subscribers have given up the
extra dollar it is said and are now wait
ing for the book which has not come.

KELLY SAYS

That the wheat crop of 1891 will be the
largest that this country has ever pro-
duced.
Last years production was "a million
barrels of flour. This years production
showing 964 per cent as against 81 per cent
last year, would make the number of bar
rels IS, 172, $40. This would give about q
barrel and a quarter to every man, woman
and child in in the country.
The average use per year for the popu-
lation is barrel for every man, woman
and child; therefore if the supply of flour
exceeds the consumption, the price of
-four FIR the 1891 crop will not average
more than SO per barrel,

BLAINE AND THE PRESIDENCY.

II there is any significance in the signs Of
the times, Mr.. Blaine will certainly enter the
lists against President Harrison for the next
Republican presidential nomination. lie hes
itated long time before giving any intima-
tion that he would accept the honor. proba-
bly, because he thought, in the first place that
he could not possibly be elected, and because,
in the next place, he did not deem it becoming
in him, while holding Cabinet portfolio, to
openly antagonize his chief.
Lately, however, Mr.. Blaine has decidedly
shifted his position. A few weeks ago, when
called upon by a Western delegation and
urged to permit the use of his name, he final
ly consented to place himself in the hands Of
his friends, and everybody knows what that
means. Whenever a politician says that he
does not care for an Office, but that he is in
the hands Of Lis friends, every one knows
that he means that he will be glad to get the
place if he can. So Mr.. Blaine. as soon as he
admitted that if his friends were determined
to buckle fortune on his back, whether he
would or no. he would be obliged to bear the
burden. gave tacit. but no less emphatic, con-
sent to accept the nomination if it were ten
dered him by the next convention of LIS party.
Having gone thus far Mr.. Blaine with
the vigor which has always been one Of his
marked characteristics, and which has caused
him 10 be called THE Plumed Knight" now
proposes to go further. He sees that Mr..
Harrison. when he found that he could not
control the votes Of the South through

friends with the South and West where the
Republican party is weakest. and so be pro-
poses TO follow his chief in tour of the coun-
try, and see if he. too, cannot make capital for

Mr.. Harrison may have gained by his new

his mind 10 enter the canvass, proposes to
push his chances as vigorously as Mr.. Harri-
son is pushing his.
The Democratic party. it must be confessed,
would not like TO see Mr.. Blaine pitted against
their candidate in 1892, for he would make
the most formidable antagonist the party
could be called on to encounter. He is
acknowledged to be man of great brain
and q statesman Of no ordinary ability. and
even the Democratic party is ready to admit
that if we are to have another Republican
President at all, Blaine would reflect more
honor on the country than any other who
could be named Besides all this. he is the
author and suggester of the reciprocity
clause in the Mckinley law, which is the
only redeeming feature of that law which
was enacted for the benefit of the rich at the
expense Of the poor. But Cleveland has
beaten Blaine once before and can do so
again, especially as the people want tariff
reform in earnest. and not have it served out
to elem IN homeopathic doses under the
name of reciprocity.
The indications at present, therefore, are
that Cleveland and Blaine will again be in
the field against each other in 1892. with the
chances decidedly in favor OF Cleveland.

TWO PATRIOTIC SCENES.

There have occurred recently two incidents
which illustrate how completely the healing
influences Of time have obllterated many Of
the deepest wounds produced by the war.
One of the most celebrated events Of that
momentous period was the passage of Mas
sachussetts regiment through the streets OF
Baltimore in 1861 on its way to Washington.
Every step of the Federal soldiers was dis
puted by an enormous multitude OF the
people, who employ every missile in their
reach TO strike down the odious invaders. A
number Of the soldiers were killed in the
tumuit, and score of citizens persisted under
the fusilade that was delivered into their
ranks by the frightened troops. The feeling
of bitter hatred was 90 intense among the
people that il was only by a happy accident
that the soldiery were not exterminated to a
man.
few days ago the survivors of the Massa-
chusetts regiment made an excursion TO Balti-
moro in order TO visit the memorable scenes
Of their passage through that city, and they
were received with kindness and hospitality
by the Mayor and the people at large that
were in striking contrast with the deadly
hostility which had greeted them thirty years
before. Much attention was shown them
which they reciprocated with expressions Of
grateful friendship and good will.
The second incident TO which we refer was
banquet given at the Hotel Brunswick, in
New York, on Monday, by the survivors Of
the Ninth New York and the Third Georgia
regiments These two regiments had in the
course Of the war been arrayed against each
other on three different occasions-at Roa-
noke Island, at Fredericksburg. and at An
tietam-and there had an opportunity Of dis
covering each others mettle
According to the account received of the
banquet, the room was draped with flags and
the speeches delivered were full of patriotic
sentiments "reminiscences of the conflicts
in which the two regiments had been engaged
against each other were told TO a late hour.
and the company broke up with three cheers
for reunited country, in which the old Con-
federates joined as heartily as the Federal
veterans.
II is such scenes as these which bring all
parts Of the country together in the firnest
bonds of kindness. and they constitute tho
seyerest rebuke which could be passed upon
the Republican demagogues who would keep
alive for their own selfish purposes the dying
flame of sectional antagonism.
