THs GIANTS CAUsEwAY.

Forty Thousand Pi!Iars Marshaled on the
shore of the Green Isle.
The Giants Causeway is situated at
the northern extremity of County An
trim, n short distance from Post Rush.
Ireland. 1t consists of countless hosts
If basaltic pillars, varying in shape
rom II pentagon to an actagOn, the av-
rage length of each column or pillar
icing about eighty feet-the whole
tackled SO closely together that a knife
blade could hardly be inserted between
hem.
But the formation of these pillars is
lot the least wonderful part about
hem, Cor, although they may be
ounted by thousands and tens of
thousands, each column is fashioned
with a symmetry that suggests a ma
sons handiwork. Their composition is
perfect fusion of one-half flintv
Garth, one-quarter lime and clay, and
one-quarter almost pure iron-each
pillar being divided into regular
lengths or joints, which come together
as perfect natural ball and socket
union. Although to be found in small
attachments embedded in the cliff,
sands, etc. for some distance along the
shore, the principal aggregation form
ing the causeways proper consist of
three projections or tongues known as
Little, Middle and Grand causewavs
These singular columns are of differ
ent lengths, as has already been
limited, and present an astonishing APP
pearancc as they stand. an army of at
least forty thousand strong, marshaled
on the shores of Erin as If ever ready to do
cattle with the rising tide. One portion
of this marvellous natural freak is known
as Lord Antrim's Parlor:" other
sections by such names as THE Giants
Chimney" The Giants Head" THE
Nursing Child" "IIcn and Chickens"
The Priest and His Flock" besides
many other mysterious combinations
which are at once fantastic, weird, and
descriptive.
One of the most interesting features
of the causeway, and one which had
almost neglected to mention, is THE
Giants Organ" This huge ''instru-
ment" consists of group of pillars of
various lengths set apart on the side of
the main cliff. The larger columns be-
ing in the center and the smaller ones
tapering off on either side, after the
fashion of organ pipes, admirably sus-
tain the idea which the name Giants
Organ" conveys.-St. Louis Republic.

ACCIDENTAL POISONING.
The Coroner's Report on the Litchfiel
Mystery.

The Coroner's Report on the Litchf1eld
Mystery.
Coroner Higgins has filed his report
on the inquest in the case of Jackson
Tompkins and Patrick LAWN, who were
found dead in a field at Lltchfield in
October. The finding is of accidental
death by poisoning and the report says:
"The kind of poison the medical ex-
aminer was unable to tell and a chemi-
cal analysis failed to establish. A
thorough investigation of the case and
examination of the witnesses fails to es-
tablish when and where the poison was
procured or by whom administered. I
am satisfied, however, that the poison
was not taken with suicidal intent.
Whether it was the criminal act, omis-
sion or carelessness of any other person
or persons the evidence thus far has
failed to establish, but the whole drift
of the evidence and the circumstances
connected with the case tend to prove
that death was caused by accidental
poisoning. Iwould, therefore give it as
my opinion (but not as a positive find
ing of fact) that said deaths were caused
by accidental poisoning"

Ansonia Wednesday, when Miss
Treweske's father, who had long been
ill, suddenly died. 1t had been the
wish of the dead man to see his daughter

Samuel Proctor, aged IS years, and
William F. Stowe, have been arrested
for completely in the numerous bur-
glaries in Milford recently. Stolen
goods were found in their possession.
Stowe pleaded guilty, but refused to di-

for the superior court under $1,000
bonds and Proctor under $500.
An old fashioned covered bridge, $50
feet long, on the New London Northern

SPLENDID SHEEP IN ENGLAND.

TAe Finest of All Are the Dainty and
Pretty-Featured South Downs
The naturalist who is not too proud
to know the history of the domesti-
Gated animals which are now as native
to the soil as any of the ancient wild
races could name any district in which
he found himself by glance at the
sheep upon the hills, says the Spectator.
Not even the cattle exhibit such marked
differences as are to be found in the
flocllS which n century of careful Selec-
ton has fitted to thrive best in the
varied soils of England. The big Lei
cester sheep, with long gray wool and
white faces, are as different from the
"Cotswald's" as Newfoundland from
white poodle. In the "Cotswolds"
will be found the original of the ''baa-
lamb" of the nursery. These sheep are
tall, with white wool in locks and with
tufts upon the head and forehead. The
Lincolnshire sheep are moro like those
of Leicester, but heavier in the fleece,
coarser and more fitted for life in the
marshes. They have, perhaps, the
most intelligent faces of any sheep but
the refined South Downs We noticed
a Lincoln eve endeavoring to open Il
sack of cakes by putting her foot into
the mouth and drawing out the con-
tents as it lay on the ground in the
next pen. Romney marsh has its own
breed of sheep, Something like the Lin
coins. But of all the tlOcllS of England
the South Downs must win the palm.
Their short-clipprd and delicate wool is
felted together like moss. The hand
sinks into it with difficulty. The form
is beautiful and rounded, and though
apparently so finely built, their weight
is great. The close yellow-gray fleece
fits over the head like Il cap, disclosing
the face and nose, covered with short
gray hair-not wool. The features are
extremely dainty and the movements of
the mouth,f as the sheep nibbles its
fragrant supper of trefoil and clover,
resemble those of some delicate foreign
rodent. Their heads are far prettier
than those OF decr-almOst as refined as
that of the gazellc. These sheep I'M
dergo an elaborate toilet every morn
ing. Clipping them is an art in which
few excel. Their coats are trimmed,
brushed and damped, and pressed fiat
with a setting-b board and finally tinted
for the day. The Hampshircs, black
faced and Roman-nosed, are also rouged

CATHOLIC TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES.
Reports That Show the Union to Be in
IA EIOnrishing Condition.

Reports That Show the Union to Be in
Flourishing Condition.
The semi-annual meeting of the board
of governors of the State Catholic Total
Abstinence union was held yesterday
forenoon in the parlors of the St
Aloysius rooms at New Haven. The re-
port of the county directors showed all
the societies to be in flourishing condi-
ton. The increase in membership for
the past quarter is over 500. The fol-
lowing societies have been admitted
into the union during the past three
months: The Young Mems society of
Meriden, st Mary's of Mount Carmel, st
Francis cadets of Torrington, st Pat
rick's cadets of Bridgeport and St
Navier's Ladies' society of New London.
The society has paid out in sick and
burial benefits during the past year,
$4,245. The society has in the treasury
about $4,000, and owns real estate
valued at about 100000. The union is
composed of forty eight societies, with
an aggregate membership of 1890.
There are about $50 members in de-
tached societies, making the total num-
Der of Catholic abstainers IN the state
about $500. Measures will be taken
towards enrolling the detached societies
into the union.

TAX

KELLY says if Henry George only got
one peep at the grand list of Waterbury he
would have material enough to lecture on
for the next two years, for there he could
see that the poor man who has a house
worth 50, 500 pays tax on one dollar in
every three he owns; while the man with
large property and great income only pays
taxes on one dollar in every eight that he
owns.
This is unjust, but what are we going
to do about it Let us bring all our in
Thence to bear on Common Council,
selectmen and School board to appoint
three Real Estate Experts to go over that
revised list and correct what few errors
they can find and then elect Northrop,
Brown and Carmody for the assessors of
1898, because these are the men who
made the revised list. If you do this, each
man will pay an equal share according to
what he owns for the running expenses of
the town, city and school; and remember
that Flour will cost you only $3.50 If you
will give my man an empty barrel.
Anything you see in KELLY'S ADV. is

So, 900 Fire in Terryville.

TERRYvILLE, Jan 27.-This morning
about 4 o'clock fire broke out in the
saw mill of w. H. Scott & Co, in Pc
quabuck. The building was burned to
the ground causing a lose of $4,000,
with an insurance of $4,000. 1t is
thought to be the work of an incen-
diary, although small wood stove was
kept burning in the mills all night. The
lateness of the breaking out of the fire
would indicate that the building had
been set on fire. The mills are left at
o'clock at night and it is probable that
the fire in the stove would be pretty
we'll burned out by 4 o'clock in the
morning.

age About 81 GOETHE Fire Depart
ment Does Good Work.

The Rio Grande Western passenger
depot was, yesterday afternoon, the
scene of a. fire which did between $305
and $500 worth of damage before it
was eXtinguished. An alarm was re-
ceived at the fire department at lis
o'clock, and the west side department
responded. but five minutes later re-
lief from the central department and
Chief Stanton went to the scene of the
fire. The fire was located about the
center of the passenger depot between
the ceiling of the first story and the
floor of the second. 1t had started
from defective f1ue and had been
burning for some time before being dis
covered. 1t was necessary, in order to
get at the seat of the fire, to cut away
section of the ceiling below and the
floor above, and by this means the
flremen succeeded in reaching the blaze
with the chemicals and a, stream of
water from an inch hose, which is car
r1ed by the department for just such
occasions. The fire was confined under
the floor and soon extinguished. The
insurance was placed by Denver
agency and will cover all losses.

directed by Chief Stanton. soon had
the flames under control. The damage
is estimated at $500, covered by insur-
ance.
