Why They Are Late.

Various complaints have been made to Chauncey M. Depew that many trains have arrived late at the Grand Central station. Beside those on the New York Central, the New Haven locals have run from five to twenty minutes late five days out of every six. MT. Depew says the de- lay is due to the Harlem drawbridge. t'One time last summer" he added, 'I investigated case where about fifty trains were delayed nearly an hour, and found that the drawbridge had been opened to let tug with barge in tow pass through. There were ten cars on the barge belong ing to the New York and Northern rail road, and the entire cargo consisted of a barrel of apples and 8 calf. We can't do anything until something is done about these bridges"

Mrs. Edward E. Hall, ST.

"ESs BotSstTo EHdlts ST.
 Mrs. Elizs Dibblee Hall, wife of MT. Ed ward E. Hall of this city, passed away from earth yesterday after brief and painless illness. She was a native of Catskill, N. r., where she resided until her marriage in 1855, since which time New Haven has been her home.
 Mrs. Hall was a great-granddaughter of the Rsv. Ebenezer Dibblee, D D., who was Stamford, Conn. That was in the olden days when ministers of the English church w~rr com pelled to make the journey to England for the ceremony of ordination, and Mir. Dibbee was no church of Kensingfon he was ordained deacon by Thomas, archbishop of Canterbury.
 His mantle of love, charity and godliness seems to have descended upon this grand daughter. To say that she was a devoted wife and mother, a staunch friend and consistent Christian, seems like applying trite words and set phrases to a life crowned with the sweet peace earned by career of self-forgefulness keen intelligence and a quick, responsive sense of humor, she was a genial companion and pleasant conversationalist, ready alike for grave
 For nearly thirt ty-seven years she has been Q member of St Pa1i's church Ever conscientious In the discharge of her reIigious duties, her ia mtssed from her accustomed seat. Many will be the homes beside her own which will rniss her gentle mintstrations and cheering presence fn time of tro .ble O. distress. No one appealed to her in vain for sympathy or aims. Her d-ath was as peaceful as her life had been beautiful. Secure in her ellearned repose, she has indeed wrapped tho drapery Of her couch about her and Jain down to pleasant dreams"
 Mrs. Hall leaves a husband, a son and two daughters. The funeral will take place on Thur. day al 2:3o p. m at 679 Chapel street.

He then dwelt on the importance of the project, especially as a means for transporting war material from the Pacific coast, which now goes around Cape Horn. It is not likely that the great territory upon the Pacific coast will ever be thoroughly developed or densely populated unless it can be brought in closer connection with the other portions of the earth. We must have a market in Central and South Amer ics and the orient. By the Nicaragua canal the Atlantic slope will be nearer them than Europe and the cost of trans portation will be sufficiently reduced to enable us to compete successfully for their frodo

The governor spoke of the senator as man endowed with every requirement and accomplish ment necessary to make him great leader of parties and of men; man who had all ready been crowned with civic laurels such as few men of his years had ever worn. "An in-born democrat" con- tinued the governor, Che has ever been true to his party and faithful to every trust reposed in him. As governor of New York he has forever en- deared himself to the people of Mississippi and of the United States and to the lovers of truth and justice everywhere by his de termined and outspoken opposition to the attempted unwarranted usurpation of the liberties of American freemen, the infa- nous force bill [cheers.

His references of the tempted passage of the force bill and his declaration that the yari- ous states should be sovereign provoked great enthusiasm.
