 There was bad accident at the birch distillery at Hambnrgh, Friday, in which Calvin Tucker, an employe, mar rowly escaped a horrible death. He was at work in the distillery room, when he slipped on a wet board, and be- fore he could recover his balance slid down astride one of the vats which as filled with boiling oil. His right leg was plunged into the. hot fluid and before he could withdraw it was horri. bly, scalded. The fiery oil penetrated almost to the bone and it is a question whether Tucker will ever recover the use of the leg or not.

Railroad Officials Visit the New
 England's Boston Terminus.
 Another day passes and the riddle is unguessed. Nobody knows what is to be done with or for the New York S New England road by it's new manage ment.
 The only fragment of fact in the mass of imagination atloat is that the new presidents assistant, E. R Reynolds and the new consulting engineer, c. M. Jacobs, were in Boston yesterday, in consultation with General Manager Howard, and that the trio made a per sonal inspection of the roads yards, terminal facilities, and arrangements for transatlantic business.
 This fact is accepted as a "pointer'' toward a business rather than specu- lative handling of the road.
 The report from New York yesterday, that the desired New York connection was to be made by the Long Island rail road and a tunnel under the East river and Forty-Second street to the New York Central station, is not accepted by Boston gossips as good solution of the puzzle. The 14-mile ferry across Long Island sound is considered an al most insuperable objection to a great southern or western business.

INDEPENDENT AND JEALOUS.
A Waterbury Mans Experience in Chil
 in 1872

in 1872
 \ we'll known Waterbury man, who made the reporter promise not to use his name, was chatting with a party last evening, telling of his experience in Chilli in 1872. He shipped as sailor on merchant vessel plying between Frisco and Chili. He spent two months in the harbcr of Valparaiso and in that time had an excellent opportunity of studying the habits of the natives.
 He said: "At that time the Chilians hated the United States sailors and often attempted to interfere with them while on shore. The first officer of our ship started in a boat for shore one day. I was steering and making directly for the landing. Several natives, in boats, saw us coming and they steered for the landing to block or delay us if possible 1pointed this fact out to the first officer He told me to steer straight for the landing. The bow of our boat was faced with copper, so I knew we would have some sport. l followed my com manders instructions, and the way we dumped those Chilians into the water made me laugh for two days. From that day we never experienced any more trouble in landing"
 In speaking of the Chilians as fighters he said: 'They are the most independ- ent people on earth. They used to tell us how small and insignificant the United States was. They are jealous, and the reason they hate us is because they fear we will take away their trade"

MEETING OF CIVIL ENGINEERS.
Disposal of Sewage Bv Irrigation and
 Filtration.

Disposal of Sewage By Irrigation and
 Filtration.
 The following officers were elected bv the Connecticut Association of Civil Engineers and Surveyors at the annual meeting held yesterday in Hartford: President, E. P. Augur of Middletown: vice-presidents, F. w. La Forge and w. G. smith of Waterbury; secretary and treasurer, A. R. Wadsworth of Farm ington. The executive and member, ship committees were continued the same as the past year, as were the special committees on sewage disposal, railroads, streets and bridges and field works, appointed as before by the presi- dent. Following this was the paper of the day, read by T. II. Mckenzie on Sewage Disposal by Irrigation and Filtration Through Land."
 Of the various methods for lans- portatlon and safe disposal of sewage that by means of land filtration has proved by far the best. By this plan the sewage is collected by pipes and carried through d main, usually by gravity, to portion of the land pro vided for the purpose, where it is dis tributed. It is found that the necessary puritication by oxidation does not take place below three feet beneath the sur face. The matter is distributed directly by capillary attraction. The ground is laid out in ridges eight feet wide sepa- rated by ditches two and a half feet deep, the location of which is changed frequently by splitting the ridges. The surface soil should be ploughed and re moved frequently to allow better oxi- dation.
 The system is in successful operation in Marlborough and South Framing ham, Mass, Orange and Long Branch, N. J., and Pullman, III. IitchfieId' Bristol, South Manchester and Meriden are taking active steps in the adoption of the filtration method. Sixty thous- and gallons per acre per day IS the proper amount. The usual cost is S3. GOO to $4 ,O0O per annum for each million of gallons per day, and the income is about one-half the cost, when the crops are a secondary consideration.

''CleOpatrR.'l

"The dramatization of Rider flag gard'S story, "Cleopatra" was presented at the opera house last night before a fair sized audience. The Cleopatra of Miss Prescott was almost perfect, the pride and cruelty of the despot being blended admirably with the tenderness of woman and the sadness of one whose state isolates her from all sincerity and peace. The Harn4achis of MT Mclean was excellent throughout. The other characters were well handled by the supporting company.
 Faust"
 Faust" will be presented at the opera house this evening. The Brooklyn Citi- zen says: With the stage effects which are now at the command of the actor the spectacular elements in the play are developed to their fullest extent. Several features which were not seen last year were introduced last night. One was the flashing of a jeweled cross in the gable of the church at the end of the first act, upon Mephisto, as he is ex- ulting over the possession of the soul of his victim. Another was the firefly effect in the garden scene, produced by tiny electric lamps; and the third was the storm of fire winch concluded tl e BrOcken scene.
