the Italian immigrants return home
when winter comes. but from % to 33
per cent. of English, Scotch and Welsh
immigrants play the same trick upon
American labor. The books of the
British Board of Trade show that 81, 900
steerage passengers were carried back
to Liverpool and Glasgow in the year
which ended June 80. 1901, and that the
steamship companies counted on taking
back four-fifths of these same people to

The Sentinel is sad. The Supreme Court

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

Eddie Doyle, Aged If, Killed by the
 Cars at Hartford Last Night.
 Fourteen year old Eddie Doyle was struck by the suburban train on the Consolidated road, near the Broad street bridge in Hartford last evening, and died a few minutes afterward. He, with several others of his age, had stolen ride on an incoming New Eng land freight train, boarding the train farther out. As the train approached the station the boys jumped off, to avoid detection, opposite the old New Haven car house, east of the Broad street bridge, at the moment the sub- urban train, leaving Hartford at 7:21, came along. The others avoided the suburban, but Doyle was struck and was thrown to one side. The train was stopped and the boy picked up, moaning slightly, and laid down beside the tracks. The ambulance was sent for and the boy was put on 8 stretcher and carried to Asylum street, where the am- bulance was waiting, but he died on the way. His skull was fractured and there were other injuries.
 The dead body of an infant was found on the shore of Shaw's cove at New London yesterday afternoon by a lad named Schroeder. The remains were in a meal sack, wrapped in a piece of cotton pillow case and large stone had been added to sink the whole. The body was in an advanced state of decom- position. The medical examiner is of the opinion that the child was about ten days old.
 D. M. Smith, prominent undertaken of Meriden, drank a quantity of emEalm- ing fluid about 12 o'clock last night in mistake for medicine. The fluid, as is usual in such mixtures, contained a large quantity of arsenic, and in spite of medical aid, the sufferer died shortly after o'clock, after an hour of intense agony.

SECURING EuR1HeR EVIDENCE.
A Watch Belonging to the Bridgeport
 Crooks Found in This City.

A watch Belonging to the Bridgeport
 Crooks Found in This City.
 Says the Bridgeport News: Yesterday Special Officer Hayes got on to a clue which may lead to the recovery of some of the property stolen by Dickinson and Roberts, the two crooks arrested in Wa terbury last week.
 When the prisoners were searched here ticket calling for a gold watch, which was being repaired at UpsOn's jewelry store in Waterbury, was over looked. This the prisoners carried with them to the cell room. Special Hayes got hold of the ticket, and coming to the conclusion that it called for a stolen watch he asked permission of Chief Rylands to work on the case. The chief granted the request, and yesterday he paid 8 visit to Waterbury, recovering the timepiece.
 While in Waterbury the officer made some inquiries and discovered the whereabout of two young women with whom Dickinson and Roberts kept com pany. The police have been endeavor- ing to locate these women ever since the arrest of the crooks. It was presumed that the women might be liable to assist the officers in locating some of the spells of their lovers. The women are sisters named Hogan, and one of them claims that the watch which Officer Hayes got is her property. They both admit keeping company with the crooks, but deny that they knew their true character until their arrest. The officer retained possession of the watch.

Down With Butter.

KELLY again comes forward as the friend of the consumer. He has done his part in bringing down prices on bread, flour, eggs and sugar and now he is going to bring the butter market to & point where the poor as well as the rich can buy the famous Vermont Print Butter'' and Elgin Creamery. Owing to the large quantity of hay and corn grown in this country there is no reason why the best tub butter should sell for more than % cents per pound. Kelly commences to- day to sell at this figure and gives you guarantee that it won't cost any mo till Nov. 1, '92. How can Kelly do it buying direct and selling for cash. Under this same system he sells you four at $5.5 per barrel, your eggs for IS cents dozen and 22 pounds of sugar for $1.
 PRINT BUTTER drops from 35c to 29c. The parties making butter sell to New York commission men ,who sell it toBridge- port jobbers, who send an agent to this city to sell in one or two tub lots. Every transaction with the freight included adds from to cents pound, making total of 6 or 7.cents before it is put on the table, Kelly's system does away with all this Butter for sale at his stores.

 The recent smashup on the New York & New England railroad at Black rock, near New Britain, is being thoroughly investigated by the officials of the road, Pending the result of the investigation, Engineer Ravens and Conductor Jacobs of the regular passenger train, Conduc- tor Whitcomb of the Long Island ex- press and Operator John Burke have all been laid off.
 From a number of inquiries put to men in the employ of the railroad com pany It was learned that Conductor Jacobs received dispatch at East Hart ford addressed to the conductor and en- gineer. In it were instructions con- cerning the Long Island express. The dispatch told the conductor and engi- neer to be on the lookout for the train as it was late. The fact to be careful was emphasized. This dispatch the con- ductor did not show to engineer Ravens, so the latter has stated.
 The engineer did not know where they would meet the express and wasn't aware of it's being behind time. Had he been shown the dispatch he would have been reminded of the new train and the accident might have been avoided. v
