FISH DEALERS ARE UNHAPPY.

Stock Is Scarce and Prices Have Risen
Out of Sight.
Fish dealers are disconsolate. Never
in the memory of the oldest of their
number has there been such scarcity of
sea food, and what little there is in the
New York and Boston markets is held
at the highest prices on record. Fresh
cod was quoted in Boston on Monday at
eleven cents a pound and not more than
one hundred pounds could be spared for
Waterbury at that figure. The retail
price for cod is twelve cents a pound.
Haddock is also scarce, and the few that
came here cost eight cents at wholesale,
just the price the retail dealers charge
for the fish. 1t is the same story with
bluefish, ciscoes, halibut, sea trout and
white fish, all are scarce and the whole
sale price has risen tout of sight," A
few southern shad are in the market,
selling for twenty cents a pound and, so
the dealers say, they lose money on
every shad they handle, even at that
high figure. Oysters have dropped to
the old price, thirty and forty cents a
quart, although the wholesale figure has
gone up twenty cents a gallon. Alto.
gether it has been an improbable
season for the market men, who are
praying for warm weather and fair
skies.

Opening OF
Spring Dress goods

Perhaps you say it is too early
to buy Spring Dress Goods when
snow drifts are high, temperature
low and the outlook by no means
cheerful. But it is not too early to
see what the resources of civIliza-
tlon have produced in Dress Nov
elites for the spring of 1898. Our
extensive importations of staple
goods and novelties have arrived,
and we extend cordial invitation
to all to examine the stock. We
import most Of our Novelty Dress

gems that cannot be duplicated
elsewhere, in fact we cannot dupli-
cate them ourselves, having but one

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

A New Haven Teamster Fatally Injured
BY the Cars.
Shortly before o'clock this morning
Michael McGlory, teamster, about 81
years of age, was struck by a Shore
Line train at Fair Haven. One arm
was crushed and will have to be ampu-
tated, the other was broken and his
head badly crushed. He was taken to
the New Haven hospital, where he now
lies in a critical condition. McGlory
was on the point of taking a train and
as it steamed into the station he walked
walked out to meet it. He got too near
and as the engine passed it struck him
on the leg and threw him partially
under the wheels.

FOURTEEN TRAINMEN ARRESTED.
Systematic Robbery of the New York s
New England Road.

Detective Gutman, who has been
working up the cases against the New
England road trainmen, says that there
are fourteen men now under arrest for
robbing freight, and that several loads
of goods were in possession of the state
that had been secured in the search
warrant proceedings. The whole crew
are generally in league. While the
train is running one of the men is let
down the side Of the car. He pulls the
staple, slides the door, breaks open a
case of goods and passes the articles to a
man on top who takes the goods to the
caboose. There it is stored until the
end of the run, when it is carried to the
homes of the men. at is hard to de.
tect the thieves" said the detective,
''for it would take twenty-five officers
to patrol the East Hartford yard and
then you could not tell but what the
goods in possession of the men had been
purchased. AT one haul we recovered
two wagon loads of fine shoes"

SERIOUS WRECK THIS MORNING.
Child Killed and Five Persons Injured Of
the Consolidated Road.


the Consolidated Road.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., Mar Train No
SO, on the. Consolidated road, which is a
midnight sleeper from New York, ran
into the rear of the Stonington boat
train at $50 this morning near Auburn.
One child was killed and five passengers
seriously injured. The tracks were
blocked for nearly three hours, 1t is the
understanding that the accident was
due to the failure of the rear brakeman
of the Stonington train. 1t is one of the
most stringent rules of the company
that whenever any train shall make a
stoppage at any unusual point, the rear
brakeman shall go back no less
than twenty telegraph poles with flag
to protect his train. The only plausible
explanation for this accident, if the
brakeman did his duty, is that the en-
gineer of No SO failed to obey the sig
nal, which is improbable.

Records Hidden In the Cave
IPage Courier.l


To but few at this date who examine the
records in the Clerks office of this county
is II known why the pages OF all the books
there up to the beginning of the war. are
discolored by water. At the breaking out
of the war Mr.. Watson. who was then Clerk,
removed all the books to cave on the
farm of William X. Almond, near Hope
Mills, for safe-keeping. They remained
there till the close of the war, when they
were moved back to the Office in the court
house. When taken out of the cave the
box in which they were packed was float
ing in water. Their removal was q wise
precaution, as the courthouse was oceu-
pied tor two or three years, FIRST by SOL
diers OF one army and then by the other.
The few records left In the Clerks Office
were taken by Mr.. Watson to his house
and preserved. These embraced the books
for the recordation of the very small court
business transacted in war times.
The courthouse itsslf was badly dis
figured and defaced on account of such
occupancy.
