LARGE CASH SALES.

And How Things Are at middletown
in General.
MIDDLKTowN, Aug. 20.-Whiie several
large manufacturing establishments are
temporarily closed there is no restitution.
Many merchants report large cash sales
and easier collections than during any
previous August. The quarrymen at the
Portland, Cromwell and Msromss quarries
are the most affected, as money for the
sale of stone Ia not easily obtained. AFRO
wanna mills have been running overtime,
though they stop for repairs this week,
according to custom. The Goodyear Rub
Der company is running full time, with no
reduction of pay and with cash payments
to the help. The Wilcox, Crittendon COM
psuy, ship chsndelry, hardware, expect to
resume with full force on the twenty
eighth. W. G. Douglass employees will
work five days a week. L. D. Brown &
Sons company will work three days a week
for the rect of the month. The Hatch
Cutlery company is putting on more men.
The Rock we'll Wooden company Is working
full hours and paying the help In cash.
The Schuyler Electric company Is not
going to abandon the plant here. The Mid
dletown Blast company Is working on
short time. The temporary closing of the
Bissell & Schuyler company has thrown
900 hands out of employment, may be-
ing boys and girls. There is no sign of a
panic here. The general feeling is that
when congress repeats the silver purchase
clause every factoIy will be working over
time in order to fill orders now On hand.

THE SEA WAS ROUGH

And in Consequence tho City of Rich
mond Did Not Reach Block Island
Put Into New London Instead-
Many of the Passengers Wore Sea-
sick.
The rains descended, the winds blew and
the waves roared upon the sound yester-
day, and in consequence 1t was anything
but an ideal day for an excursion by water.
Notwithstanding the general inclemency of
the weather, however, party of about
800 embarked on the steamer City of Rich
mond bound for Block island. Almost as
soon as the boat got out of the harbor and
beyond the breakwater the usually placid
waters of the sound became 30 turbulent
that many of the passengers became 30
violently seasiok that they wished they had
not gone on the trip.
By the time the boat was off New Lon
don the sea outside was 30 rough that 1t
was deemed advisable not to undertake to
reach Block Island and the City of Rich-
mond put into New London harbor, giving
the exoursionists about three hours in that
historic town, after which the return trip
was made, the boat arriving in this city
about $50 p. m. Everything possible was
done by the officers and attaches of the
boat to make the trip as comfortable as
possible for the seasick passengers, but all
were more than usually glad to see the har.
Dor lights of home on their return.
