A MYSTERY SOLVED.

The Body of George Blake, an Aged
 Man Who Has Been Missing a
 Week, Found in Lake Whitney
 The body of George Blake, colored, 70 years of age, was found floating in the waters of Lake Whitney yesterday. Blake, who resided at 15 Winter street, left his home early last Monday morning with the presumed intention of going fishing. When he went away he left the keys in the front door and all the windows wide open. Since that time nothing has been seen or heard of him until yesterday, when his body was found floating in the lake. In his pocket was discovered the fishing line, which had never been uncoiled. It is probable that Blake accidentally fell into water and was drowned. Medical Ex- aminer White was notified and gave per mission to have the body removed.

The ver-popular Irish-American actor, Daniel Sully, will present his new play "The Millionaire" for the first time in this city at this theater, Thursday and Friday evenings. The play is from the able pen of Leander Richardson and was written especially for MT. Sully. It is unusually free from all the time-honored grotesquer- ies, which have from time immemorial been associated with Irish-American dramas and is said to be in all respects a play with brains in it. The language is crisp, clean cut and sparkling, the situ- ations are well planned, and the action spirited. MT. Sully has engaged an ex- cellent company, and has provided special scenery for the production.
 Manager Bunnel has been untiring in his efforts to secure only the best sttrac- tions forihis two theaters in this city, and has already booked number of fine at fractions. Approaching productions at this house are, in addition to the above, Colonel Milliken opera company in the "Chimes of Normandie," which is due August 31, and 'The Charity Ball." Sep tember f.

Senator Q. HI. PIatt vs. Ex-Senator
 Tom Platt.


 Yesterdays New York Sun says in its Washington correspondence;
 Senator Platt of Connecticut, who has achieved the distinction of being the first senator from his state who was ever chosen for third term, is summering in the Adirondacks. MT. Platt has attracted public notice in the last two years as the special guardian of the copyright law and as the godfather of the new states recently admitted into the union. MT. Platt is constantly mistaken for ex-Senator Platt of New York.
 "I suppose if I stayed in the senate fo1 twenty years there would still be certain class of people who would confuse me with Tom Platt of New York" said Senator Platt just before he left Washington. "Some time last season man addressed 6 letter to me asking an interview. I re- piled courteeusly, and on the following day the man, who was perfect stranger to me, called at the senate to see me. He presented large number of recommends York urging his appointment as supervi sor or something else. I said:
 T think you have made mistake. am not the senator you want to see.'
 Are you Senator PlattP he asked. l replied that was Senator Platt. Well Senator he said, 'all of your friends want me appointed to this place.
 Excuse me- replied, T don't think my friends care continental whether you are appointed or not He looked surpris. ed. T think, said continuing, that you mistake me for namesake of mine who was in the senate for about six weeks some ten years ago.
 "Aren't you Senator Plattp he asked.
 am" said I. T am Senator Platt- of Connecticut
 "He seemed very much puzzled; Sud denly light dawned on him. Well, who are our senators, anyhow? he asked. And the only balm could find for my feelings was to go into the senate chamber and tell the story to Evarts and Hiscock."

 Along Shore.

Rig Waves Do Considerable Damage
 Along Shore.
 Over three hundred Meriden Foresters made an excursion to Savin Rock Saturday and had jolly time at the shore. The ex- cursion was patronized by members of Courts Meriden, Excelsior, Silver City and Hanover.
 With the heavy thunder storm late Fri day night or early Saturday morning came high wind. This aroused old Neptune, who sent big waves banging against shore all along the coast. At Savin Rock in many places ample evidence of the violence outs, the destruction of bulwarks, etc. In front of Hon. John H. Leeds cottage at Savin Point the heavy timbers forming a bulwark just off shore were twisted and knocked out of place and the earthworks were badly battered and washed. Satur- day Mir. Leeds had men at work repairing damages. Similar damage was done at va rious other places.
