Dr Harmon W. Shove, the beloved physician, leaves a widow, Susan J., daughter of Thomas Bull, to whom he was married July 30, 1861. The doctor himself was fourth in descent from Rev Seth Shove, first settled pastor of Dan burys First Congregational church. His father Cyrus was farmer of Warren, where the doctor was born July 30, 1923, one of seven children. He began his higher education at Towards acade- my in Warren, and graduated from Yale in 1852, settling soon in Woodbury for his life work. William Cothren, Esq, Woodbury's industrious historian, con- tributed this sketch of tue doctors char acter to the Reporter: .He has steadily devoted himself to his profession, work Ing with assiduity and never relaxing his student habits. but keeping pace with ali medical progress and availing himself of all the Improvements and ad- vanecment of the healing art, at the same time gathering rich experience from q large, successful and lucrative pitC1iSSa VI "hiSll ic HtiS dHihssSu q handsome fortune. He has been for many years an equal among the fore most phy sicians of this part of the State. No physician residing here has ever ob- tained and maintained d greater hold on the confidence and esteem of the people. He will be sadly missed by multitudes, who have enjoyed his kind and success full ministrations in the sick room and who will long be unreconeiled to his loss- His place cannot be filled. Dr Shove was a self made, man, and was a good example of what may be accom- plished hy faithful application, self de- nial and patient courage"

The Reading road, Pennsy sylvania's 5 great coal line, has secured control of the Poughkeepsie bridge and the old Connecticut Western line of rail. It has also made traffic contracts with the New England and Maine Central lines and can now distribute it's anthracite coal easily throughout New England. The Hartford Times says. Now that it has allies to distribute its coal and owns a line to Hartford, the Reading can afford to send coal over the bridge system to all the distributing points in the impor- tant manufacturing towns of Connecti- cut and Rhode Island, at which point s only Readings coal will be in the mark ct. It is believed the connection will be a most profitable one to the Reading from traffic point of view, besides throwing d large volume of business over d portion of the road that now has only moderate tonnage. Tine new properties are acquired at less than cost and without the expenditure of a>dollar in cash by the Reading company.

Frederick Sanford enjoys the unique distinction of living in homestead that has been in the family since the first set clement of the town. He has collected many interesting souvenirs of the past, among which is an allegorical picture of the moral condition of the world, the work of J. w. Barber, who published valuable illustrated history of the Con- necticut of his day by towns. In his al legorical picture, the black pit of perdit- ion yawns at one side, with poor sinners toppling into it, while from the upper corner of the other side of the picture streams the Gospel light from the New Jerusalem. The figures represent those in pursuit of wealth, war, fame, lust, crime, while overhead are beckoning an- gels and, among them, those warning of the wrath to come.

NATIVE TIN.

Under the provisions OF the McKin
ley act duty of cents pound Will
be imposed on pig, block and bar tin
after July l, 1893, provided the do
nestle production of tin shall in any
year previous to that time reach 5000
tons. At present tin is on the free list,
although tin-plate is heavily taxed.
The production of native tin last
year, almost if not quite wholly at the
Temescal tin mines in California, was
sixty tons. This falls very far short of
the 5000 tons necessary to warrant the
imposition of the tariff on pig tin July
1. 1893. 1t is also only ! of l per cent
of the 35, 900, 600 pounds of tin imported
annually.
The question is, can the Temescal
mine increase its output to 5000 tons
between now and the above mentioned
date? Unless it can, tin will continue
on the free list and the consumers of it
will escape another humping tax. 1t
ID GHOrOiOF6 " Tue 1uISrSSb Vi bu6 pSO-
pie, made so by the plundering tariff
ties, that the native production of tin
fall short, as it probably will, of the
amount stated.
The Temescal mine is owned by an
English syndicate and is worked by
foreign labor, as rumor has it. The
owners Of it began to develop it before
the billion-dollar congress met, and OF
course before the Mckinley bill was
heard of. They claimed at the time
that they could produce tin from it at
little more than one-fourth the cost in
England. Sanguine as they were of
great results, the sum total of their
achievements is Enthusiastically small.
And this is all there is to the new in
dustry' of which we have heard so
much from Republican organs in the
last few months.

TRAyELING BY ELECrRICITy.

The Europeans appear to be outstrip-
ping US in the matter of rapid transit
by electricity. An electric line has
been projected by an Austrian COM
pany from Vienna to Buda-Pesth, a
distance of $50 miles, the speed on
which will be 125 miles an hour, or
about three times that of the average
express train. Whether such speed is
entirely practicable with track prop
erly built and rolling stock suitably
constructed remains to be seen. The
danger from accidents increases with
the speed attained, and an accident oc-
curing at such high rate Of speed
must be frlghtful. But doubtless these
aud other difficulties have been con-
sidered and provided for by those ia
miliar with the question of rapid
transit.
When the time arrives that people
can travel at the rate of 125 miles an
hour they will have reached in reality
fast age, one whose rapidity will make
the boosted celebrity of to-day appear
like snail pace in the comparison.

Editor Gazette.
The question is frequently asked: What
will become of the money already sub
scrihed in the event that the full amount
anticipated is not raised for having Texas
properly represented at the Worlds fairl
In answer to this inquiry beg to state
that we hope to be able to raise the full
amount asked for, namely $500, COO, out of
which we intend to construct q state build
ing on the Worlds fair grounds that under
the present plans will cost 100000, the
lumbermen of the state having very gener-
ously promised US all the lumber that will
be necessary for the construction OF such
building which will considerably curtail
the estimated cost. All the money raised
over and above the amount necessary for
the construction of the building will be
used for its equipment and maintenance
and for properly stocking it with exhibits;
our charter having been so amended at the
directors meeting held in this city on No
vember %, 1891, as to admit of this.
In the event that the Texas Worlds fair
association finds that the money subscribed
falls so far short of what is needed as to
preclude Texas being creditably repre-
scented at Chicago in 1898, we then propose
from this time on to return to the sub
scribers every cent Of money subscribed
except such as may be necessary, in the
most economic administration of the move
uGuG uOW Oh lOOG " dCCOulpllS1 IL4C OC-
sired result, and, as an evidence of this
purpose, the directors of the state associa-
ton, at their recent meeting, adopted a
resolution providing that if any county de-
sired to do so it mightreserye 90 per centof
its assessment, depositing same in any
local bank to the credit of the state associa-
ton, sending the secretary certificate of
deposit as an evidence of an asset, to be
kept with the assurance of the state asso-
citation that the money would not be called
for except as it became necessary for the
construction of the Texas building. It
must, however, be subject to the draft of
the treasurer of the state organization as
needed.
We DO not, however anticipate any fail
ure in the movement, having sufficient con-
idence in the hberality Of the people of
Texas to believe that they will not only be
represented at Chicago, but will be repre-
scented in 4 manner commensurate with the
magnificent advantages that our state has
to offer. Respectfully, D. D. BRYAN,
