TIE SOLDIERS BACK HOME

The State Military Rendezvous De-
serted for Another Year-The Citi-
zens of Mantle Are Glad of it-what
Some Ofthe Generals Say About the
CaRp Week-The Arrival of tho
Soldiers in New Haven.
Camp Morris Is now only a memory.
The soldlers have returned to their reepec-
tive towns, laid aside their brass buttons
and padded dress coats and eettled down
to the routine of every day life Niantic
has again become but little hamlet on
the sound, and will probably remain such
until the reveille of the camp of 1894
awakens the echoes along its sleepy streets.
The citizens of Mantle are glad that It's
over too. 1t is season of discomfort to
the villagers, who objeos to having the
routine of their lives thus broken in upon,
The soldiers leave the village in most
horrible looking condition. Fences broken
down, lawns tramped over, peanut bags
and Cigar stumps scattered promiscuously,
and many other annoying circumstances
made the residents wish that the state
military rendezvous wss somewhere else
than at Mantle. And they have been
wishing 80 for the last ten years, ever
since the citizens decided to cell the land
there to the state. But there ia no other
way now but "to go grin and bear It,"
The officers have expressed themselves
as being much pleased at the work which
has been done at camp this year. General
Bradley said that he mad not seen a more
successful camp week for twelve or fifteen
years. He spoke especially high of the
police duty and said that it had never BIS
fore been SO thoroughly carried out. He
said, however, that il there was any cause
for criticism 1t was in regard to guard
duty. General Haven also expressed him
self as well pleased at the results of the
work done as the encampment. Captain
Wetherill of the United States army, who
was detailed to report to the govern
ment concerning the encampment, said
that 1t had not been his good fortune to
attend many encampments of the national
guard like this one.
BE said, however, that the men did not
profit by the opportunities which they had
20 camp simply to have q good time and
did not care whether they learned anything
about military science or not. The Ma
tional Guard are not taught, either, only
portions of military science. He did not
believe there was q company in the entire |
Connecticut brigade who could go through
the bayonet drill properly. In the regular |
army they are constantly engaged In drill |
ing the men In all branches of military
science, while the National Guard only
meets at the srmories once g week and
comes out for few days drill in camp
life once year. However, considering |
the advantages of instruction which are |
offered to the men, he considered that they l
had done themselves great credit at Camp 1
Morris.
The process of breaking camp began at /
10 O'Clock in the morning, when the Gull |
ford party left for home, and BY O'Clock /
in the afternoon the camp was deserted. |
The troops on their arrival in this city |
made short street parade, after which |
they deposited their muskets at the ar

The Thurber-W hyland company, whose
stock is held in this vicinity In moderate
amounts, has decided to pass the seni-an-
nual dividend of per cent. due at this
time. F. B. Thurber, the president, makes
the following statement:
"The directors regret to announce that
the result of the business for the first six
month"; of the yesr has not been such as
to justify declaring the usual August divi-
dend on the preferred stock. It is, how
ever, cumulative and can be paid when
the times improve. The money market
constantly grew more stringent, until there
was absolutely no sale for commercial pa
per; all that remained for Us to do was to
make sales of merchandise, collect closely
and pay our notes as they matured. This
We have done and reduced our liabilities
about one-third. In doing this, however,
we necessarily sacrificed profits to some ex
tent, and this, in connection with higher
rate for money borrowed, necessary re-
striotion of business and larger losses from
bad debts usual in such times, will result
in loss in this half years trading; to
what extent depends somewhat upon the
amount to be realized from suspended &C.
counts. This promises not be serious, and
it is probable that the last half of the year
will show q different result"
On Friday of this week the Adams Ex-
press company will pay the usual quarter
ly dividend of per cent; the Boston and
Maine railroad 8 per cent. on the preferred
stock; the Cleveland and Pittsburg rail
road Il per cent; the Chicago and Alton
railroad a quarterly dividend of 2 PSF
cent. on both the common and preferred
stock; the Illinois Central railroad "a per
cent the Fort Wayne and jackson rail
road Il per cent. on the preferred stock.
The last name is guaranteed by the Lake
Shore railroad.

NORToN,s ARRIVAL HOME.

He Sticks, with Slight Variations, TO
the Wonderful Tale of His Capture
by Long Island Sound Pirates and
His Subsequent Escape from the
Raging Billows-In Appearance He
is Hut Little the Worse for Eafs tx
perience.
Louis L. Norton, son of A. o. Norton,
who has been missing for two weeks, re-
turned to his home In Westville, Saturday
afternoon, apparently but little the worse
for the thrilling experiences through which
he claims to have passed during the past
fortnight. He arrived in this city about 4
O'Clock and was met at the depot by his
father and number of friends.
Upon his arrival home he related his ex-
perience to his parents and several friends
substantially as printed in tho JOURNAL
AND COURIER Saturday. Young Norton
said that in consequence of his experience
he was very stiff and suffering in every
muscle of bis body.
The story of his adventure aa related by
himself is briefly as follows After hiring
a boat from Mr.. White and rowing to
Cranes bar near Fort Hale he Invested
himself of his clothing and went In swim
ming. After he had swan around for
about ten minutes he discovered two men
| robbing the clothing which he had left in
his boat. He swan over to the boat and
was struck across the kHuckies by short
oar in the hands of one of the pirates. He
| was then pulled into their boat, his hands
| tied and he placed face downward In the
| boat. The men then rowed a considerable
l distance to q sloop to which he was trans,
| ferred and put in the cabin. Immediately
| the sloop was got under way, but after
| sailing about half an hour made snothe,
| anchorage, and one of the crew went
ashore. After about half an hour he came
| back and the boat again sailed away and
| continued sailing all night and all the mex
| day. The next morning the bindings
| were unloosed and Norton's condition
made more comfortable. The next might

| went ashore, taking all the bags and some
| of the stuff with them. After he was SURF

along the Long Island shore, near New
London. He started out to sea, beinl
afraid that the fellows would catch him /
he stood into the shore.
Here Norton contradioted himself TO
the first time in his narrative. WheI
asked why he was afraid Of being captured
if he went ashore he said there was NJ
sight of any habitations where they an
chored, as far as he could see. At first h
said there were lights along the shore
The rest of Norton's story was almos
Identical with that printed in Saturday
COURIER. He olung to the statement tina
he saw no land from the time he starte'
out to navigate the sloop until picked u
at Atlantic City. He says that he al
tempted to lay his course northwest, think
ing that he was bound to strike land soon

Judge Lynde Harrison entertained g

Saturday ct his pretty summer residence,
"Bayhurst," on wooded point overlooking
the blue waters of the sound at Leete's

served all through the day, with iced
liquids and an excellent brand of Hsvanas.
About noon long stream of black
smoke westward on the sound marked the
approach of Hon. E. @. Benedict's beauti-
full white yacht, the Oneida, on which
President Cleveland is frequently guest.
Anchor was dropped off Bayhurst and a
few minutes later steam launch shot out
from the yacht and Mr.. Benedict Joined
the party. He is a warm friend of Mr..

to take President Cleveland to New York
when he leaves for Washington.
With Mr.. Benedict was Judge McCaul
of Brooklyn. After they had enjoyed The
hospitality of Judge Harrison the entire
party accepted MI. Benediet's invitation

crease.
NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Prfszs advanced sharply
during the morning hour on the belief that the
banks would make a favorable statement When
the figures were published they were found to
be even more reassuring than had been pre-
dcted; but the early speculative buyers promptly
took their profits, so that closing prices were
considerably below their highest The weeks
gain in bank reserves came chiefly in specie
holdings, which were S4,57s, 100 larger than a
week ago. The source OF this gain is precisely
the same as that of last week. except that the
federal treasury has this week paid out gold in
unusual quantity, its two and q half millions net
gold disbursements being for the most part made
in this city. Aside from this the city banks have
received some imported gold bought for them
selves in open market 10 advance of arrival and
paid for, virtually, q fortnight ago by further
issues Of loan certificates. The contraction OF
loans goes on at a rapid rate but this doubtless
represents one end OF the operation in the gold
import market Not the least favorable feature
of the statement WAS the large increase in circu-
lation.

had many years to live. But the summons
came suddenly and she who was most de-
voted wife and loving mosher was called
from earth, with its cares and WEAKNESS,

AN ELooUEuT APPEAL.

Temperance Evangelist W. HI. Spear
Takes Fair Haven Audience by
Storm.
Temperance hall, Fair Haven, was
crowded to Its fullest capacity Sunday
afternoon by an audience eager to hear
Temperance Orator W. B. Spear speak.
1t was shortly after O'Clock when Mr..
Spear was introduced and he spoke for
nearly an hour. His address was not a
TRADE against the saloon, neither did he
abuse the saloon-keeper. But it was an
earnest, sincere address on the evils of
intempsranoe, delivered in an eloquent and
forcible style that commanded the closest
attention and appealed to the highest
Christian sentiment and strong common
sense of the people comprising the audi
enoe.
It was ct times touchingly pathetic and
tears coursed down many q cheek at the
vivid and Afe-nke portrait presented by
the speaker In language 30 simple that
even the youngest present oould under
stand and catch the import of the inustra-
tons. One well-known citizen at the close
OF the meeting said to group which was
talking over the lecture that 1t was the
ablest and most powerful discourse he had
heard since listening to John B. Coughs
impessionable address in this city years
| ago, an opinion in which bis associates
| fully concurred.
At the close of the address SCORES OF
| people crowded forward to shake hands
| with the speaker and wish him God speed
| In his noble work.
