4 PhOtographic Gun.

From the New York Advertiser.
Recent years have seen great improvements
in photography, and it is daily becoming more
and more indispensable in many fields of
science, art and industry. The camera now
does work that was deemed impossible only a
generation ago, and does it without exciting
very much comment People have become SO
accustomed 10 the wonders Of instantaneous
photography that nothing now seems to sur
prise them.
When. in 1872. Mr.. Muybridge of California
secured the first pictures of a trotting horse in
action. showing the position of the animals
feet at every stage OF his gait and upsetting all
the preconceived theories OF artists and horse
men, ordinary folks took some little interest in
and wildly applauded the achievement Yet
how few of them have kept track Of the ad-
vances made since then in this one matter Of
photographing moving objects! 1t is not a
rash assertion to say very few.
The latest continuance for this purpose is a
Photographic gun. which. it is claimed, will
secure pictures at the rate Of a dozen a second
of any object aimed at no matter what its po-
sition or how rapid its motion. The gun is the
invention Of a Frenchman and is q breech
loader.
The enterprising amateur may now go forth
In quest OF his game looking like sure-enough
sportsman, n gun on his shoulder and belt
full of cartridges about his waist-only the
cartridges will contain extra sensitive dry
plates, which. though sure enough on snap
shots, Will not prove deadly.

PURIFYING NEW YORK's WATER.
The Removal of Nuisances From the Croton
Water Shed Begun.

The Removal of Nuisances From the Croton
Water Shed Begun.
The work of removing the nuisances in the
Croton watershed in Westchester county, n. Y.
was begun yesterday by Commissioner DAILY
1t became evident some time ago that it was
absolutely necessary promptly to cleanse the
watershed if the health Of New York city were
not to be endangered, and SO the legislature
at Albany passed measure which gave the
commissioner of public works of New York city
full power to remove anything that pollu:es the
Croton water, and to arrange for settlement
Of the damages afterward. The Croton water
shed is in Westchester, Putnam and Duchess
counties. The inhabitants of these counties
have long been using its streams and ponds as
sewers. On or near their banks were built the
outhouses. hen coops, piggeries and stables of
those who live within the precincts of the
watershed, and the sewers and drains lave been
so constructed as to pour their contents into
these streams and ponds.
The village of Kensico was the first place
visited. The examination revealed a bad condi-
ton Of affairs SO far the pollution of Croton
water was concerned, but worse places will be
found before the examination OF the watershed
is completed. Several Objectionable structures
were removed yesterday, greatly to the sorrow
Of the Inhabitants. While they showed that
they did not like what was being done, they
offered no resistance. 1t is only a question Of
time when the village will be destroyed for in
its position it is almost impossible to prevent it
from polluting the Croton water. 1t will event.
ually become the property of New York city.

FAYERwEATHER MILLIONS,
Litigation Over the Requests to Colleges
Becoming More Involved.

Litigation Over the Requests to Colleges
Becoming More Involved.
Another phase of the litigation over the will
Of the late Daniel B. Fayerweather came I'D in
the supreme court in New York yesterday.
This time several Of the colleges interested in
the $1,000 900 left by the leather merchant have
come forward, and an entirely different aspect
is placed on the suit, which will be called for
trial next week. The suit was brought by the
executors of Mrs. Lucy Fayerweather against
the executors Of Mr.. Fayerweather to set aside
an agreement by which the latter were to dis
tribute more than $3,OO0,OO0 among colleges
and other educational institutions
Mrs. Fayerweather signed several releases
when she consented to this agreement. but
just before her death she brought suit against
her husbands executors to set aside this agree
ment and to have these releases declared in
valid.
Dartmouth, William, Hamilton and Amherst
Colleges and the Rochester University have
now interposed answers to this suit, in which
they deny the invalidity Of the releases and
claim that the gift Of the residuary estate to
the executors was q trust which should be en-
forced for the benefit of the colleges. They
claim that the deed of gift made by the execu-
tors to other institutions, amounting to SS OOO,
900, cannot be upheld and that the entire
amount should be distributed only among these
i've Institutions.

His Congregation Opposed to q Dress Suit
and Patent Leather Pumps.
The New York Suns Bridgeport. Conn, dis
patch says:
The Rev. R. /. G. Mcneil. the pastor Of the
South Congregational Church in this city. who
was SO popular with the younger and progress
i've members of the congregation, and especially
with the ladies, will so to another charge. At
large meeting of the congregation Wednesday
his resignation was accepted. and it is no. ex-
pected that he will preach farewell sermon.
There were hundreds of women present
Mr.. Mcneil had made himself popular with
them by securing a rule that they should have
the privilege of voting at church meetings.
The one thing they lacked tonight was leader.
for IL they had had among them one member
who at a critical moment had raised her voice
In opposition to motions made by the deacons
the vote to have accepted the resignation would
have been defeated probably by rousing ma
jority.
The meeting opened with prayer and United
States Marshal Strong was selected chair
man. Deacon Edward Sterling made motion
that the resignation be accepted. He said that
MIR. Mcneil had been their pastor for fifteen
years and that there was such thing MS a man
outlivinG his usefulness. He thought that the
request Of the pastor that his resignation be
accepted should be needed. Not n word was
said about the dress suit or patent leather shoes
Mr. Mcneil wore and which have figured in the
resignation fuss.
Deacon Bodine made motion that one bal
lot be cast accepting the resolution.
Attorney Curtis Thompson objected
There was pleased look on the faces of the
women. They anticipated the opportunity of
voting.
Their hopes faded when Mr. Thompson with
drew his objection.
Thew looked about the church for one woman
to raise her voice. No one volunteered and
Deacon Sterling hastily prepared u ballot and
Chairman Strong announced that the resigna-
ton was accepted by a unanimous vote.
After the meeting there was no end of talk
about the matter. The real strength of the
support of Pastor Mcneil showed itself. He
had devoted himself to the work of the church
and there were tears in the eyes of many when
they realized that his labors among them had
finished
1t was said that the dress suit that the pastor
wore when he preached was kept in an ante
room. Investigation showed that it had been
taken away. The patent leather pumps that
Mr.. Mcneil wore were part of a scheme Of
saving one soul There was among the men,
bers of the church a shoe dealer in this CITY who
had become a backslider. The preacher went
to his store one day ari purchased pair of
patent leather shoes and said:
IF you will come to church next Sunday
you will see that wear them"
The shoe dealer attended church. Several
times after that the pastor dropped into the
store and made purchase, and the shoe
merchant kept on attending services to see IL
Mr.. Mcneil kept his word to wear what he had
bought.
