THE CLOSING BUSINESS
Consisted in the nomination of presiden-
tial electors. The Hon. Philip Corbin of
New Britain was unanimously chosen as
one elector at large, and then DR.. I. De Yer
Warner of Bridgeport was nominated for
the other. The chair waited anxiously for
another nomination, and then, Just as the
| vote was about to be put, Mr.. Eli Whitney
| of New Haven was named. In the confusion
the fact that one elector- at-large had al
ready been elected, was overlooked and
DR.. Warner was thought to be named for
the FIRST eleotor. After the balloting had
been begun DR.. Warmers friends asked
unanimous consent to withdraw his name,
which was given and Mr.. Whitney was
unanimously elected. The other electors
were then nominated by reclamation. The
list of electors is:
Philip Corbin OF New Britain and Eli Whitney
of New Haven for electors at-large.
George Sykes Of New London, First district
John NJ. Camp Of Middletown Second district.
Lucius Briggs Of Griswold, Third district.
DR.. L Dover Warner Of Bridgeport, Fourth dis

One thousand Armed Men Guard the Car

There is no possible approach to the

drawn clear around the fifty acres of mill yard.
No one can pass through the line unless he has
business of his own that takes him that way,
and it even then if he ia not mill worker OF
ONE sort or q resident Of the town he cannot

The advisory committee have fully matured
their plans and the whole body of men move

posts. Twice day the men re-
port and their work is mapped out
for them. Today complete system of signal

On March 6, 1887, the City of Chicago, while
approaching this port in thick fog, stuck her

foated in o few hours and came to her Jersey

the Inman and International Steamship Com

He said: "As far as we can rec the steam

will get of during the day. The passengers
have all been landed safe and sound. No per-
son was hurt"
There were number Of anxious INQUIRIES at
the Office of the Inman line this morning. To
al Of them the agents said that the steamship
was not in q very bad or dangerous position,
and that she would undoubtedly be got off and
that all the passengers were safe.
The cables were hot with messages for the
agents this morning. The first message told
briefly, as above, how the vessel had gone
ashore. Then the messages to the effect that
baggage and mails and passengers had been
landed safely were received. The cheering news
that the steamship was not in such bad posi-
ton after all said and done was received this
morning.
The maritime exchange got dispatch from it's
London representatives which said that the
weather had become clear and good, and If it
continued fine the steamship would undoubt-
edly get off some time during today. The
Inman line agents in Bowling Green got a
message to the same effect.
Later dispatches said that the tugboats from
Queenstown had reached the scene of the dis
aster and at high tide would try to get the
ship of.

What Adjutant General Williams Says About
the Girsrd College Detail.

What Adjutant General W iIlian,s Says About
the Girard College Detail.
Acting Adjutan. General Williams said this
morning that the question Of detailing an army
officer as military instructor at Girard College,
Philadelphia, from the newspaper notoriety it
had attained struck him as "a tempest in q tea
pct.
He could not understand the matter.
"The facts we're that Girard College had
asked If it were possible for the War Depart
ment to detail United States officer for duty
there as instructor in modern military tactics
1.-The state Of Pennsylvnnis had received
her quota Of army officers for college
instructors, but as there were six officers
to which other states were entitled who
bad not been applied for and as Girard
College was SO well known as one of the
foremost colleges in the country . detail was
made to It. The letter Of the college was not
answered but Lieut.. Pardee was sent there e. the
answer Of the department. to the colleges request
Now, II the college doesn't want an officer the
United States doesn't want to force one on her;
In fact, we strained point to give her one, and
now have on file threefold more applications for
officers than we have officers to supply"
The intimation IL made at the War Depart
ment that either the college official who pre-
ferred the request acted without authority or
else the faculty would prefer some officer other
than Lieut.. Pardee; hence its action in declin-
ing to receive him.

The First Gable, 1850.

From the Saturday Review.
In modern cables the core IL always protected
first by Q serving Of hemp or jute, and then by
an outer sheath Of soft steel wires, which are
relied on to furnish the mechanical strength
which the cable must have in order that it may
stand the pulling about which it receives in lay
ing and repairing. But in that pioneer trial
there was no idea Of protecting sheath; the
naked core was 70 be laid in the channel to
form the first telegraph between England and
France. There was but single wire Of copper
inside (nowadays there il always Q strand of
several wires twisted together), and this was
covered with gutts percha so thickly as 10 bring
the diameter to half an inch The covered wire
was wound on great reel on the deck OF steam
ting in Dover harbor, and after o number of
preliminary trips the line was laid on the 23d

cable to the bottom, for In the absence Of
any heavy sheathing its specific gravity SCARCELY
exceeded that Of SEQ water. The attempt was st

signals seemed TO pass nothing could be made

operators at each end were regretfully forced 10
