ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
An East Hartford WOodsman Killed by
Falling Tree.


James Carbray, a resident of the south
part of the town of East Hartford, was
trimming a fallen tree in the woods
about mile and half from his home
Saturday afternoon, while John Cronin,
a fellow workman, was cutting down
another. When the tree was tottering
Cronin called out several times to Car
bray to look out, but Carbray evidently
thought he was at safe distance.
When the tree had fallen Cronin looked
around, but could see nothing of his
companion. A closer search revealed
him pinned to the ground by a limb
which struck him on the back of the
head. Another limb had broken one of
his legs. He died in three hours.
1t was reported early this morning
that the body of a six months old child
had been found on the ice at the shore
at West Haven. The child was wrapped
in an old blanket and from appearances
had been there number of hours. The
case was reported to the acting coroner
and it will be investigated to-day,

Laws About Burial Permits AdVOcate d
Garbage Question.
The quarterly meeting of the state
board of health was held at the capitol
Saturday afternoon. The quarterly re-
port of Secretary Lindsey showed de-
crease of about 80 per cent compared
with the report of the preceding year.
number of deaths from diphtheria and
scarlet fever.
There has always been considerable
difficulty in removing bodies from this
state into another, and also from one
town to another. The secretary was
authorized to have prepared for the
legislature bill which would make one
burial certificate sufficient; that referred
only to Connecticut. Another bill will
also be prepared which will comply
with the laws in New York. Each
body sent to New York from this state
must be accompanied Oy an affidavit by
Theoretically sealed and the body
properly embalmed. This act refers
especially to deaths from infectious dis
eases.
Mr. Guyton of New York explained
the Simonin system of treating garbage
and wanted the approval OF the board
for the system as far as it related to the
public health. He said if the city
erected building and plant, which
would cost SIC, 900, the company would
dispose of the garbage for nothing, pro
vided it had ten tons day. The gar
bage is made into a fertilizer which is
worth $12 ton. A grease is also Oh
tanned, suitable for making soap and
candies. He explained how important
such a system was for the health of a
community, as it destroys all the germs
and no evil effects ensue. The matter
will be further considered at another
meeting.

and William French, both of Water
bury, were arraigned for obtaining
money on false pretences. French
worked for F. J. Emmett, the livery
man, before the latter's assignment, and
in payment for labor received, so he
claims, check for $35. Henry Bristol
of New Haven cashed the check for
French on the strength of Mr. Osborn's
recommendation. The check was pro-
tested and both men held on the charge
described above. Judge Pickett dis

him over to the superior court under

The Health Authorities Watching Three
Suspected Cases on Charles Street.
Three new cases of scarlet fever were
reported to Sanitary Inspector
Moses to-day: one on Hayden, one on
South Main and one on High street.
The board of health will meet this
afternoon at o'clock.
Three more children in the quaran-
tined house on Charles street, from
which the boy Frank Dubuc, at present
at the pest house, was taken, are sick
with what looks like smallpox. The
health officer is keeping careful watch
of the symptoms, and is also having
preparations made at the pest house
should it be found necessary to remove the
children. One of the sick children, a
boy seven years old, slept with his
brother Frank before he was taken
away. Much anxiety is felt as to who
will care for the children if they have to
be placed in the pest house.

SOME LUCKY MINERS.
Interesting Stories as to how They became
Rich.1
[Harper's Magazine,


A few of the many stories that are
told of miners luck will enable the
reader to understand how and why the
heads of whole communities may be
turned in mining regions. Jim Whit
latch, the discoverer of the WhitIatch-
Union mine, near Helena, led typical
western miners life. The mine in ques-
ton is now owned in England, and has
produced $40, 900, 900 in gold. After jim
Whitlatch had sold the property for ST.
100000, he went to New York ito make
as much money as Vanderbilt" He
was rare treat to Wall street, which
fattened on him, and in one year let him
go with only the clothes on his back. He
returned to Montana, began prospect
ing" again, and discovered mine for
which he got $250,Oo0. He went to
Chicago to rival Mr.. Potter Palmer in
wealth, and returned just as he did from
New -''fiatstrapped, as he would
have expressed it. He made still another
fortune and went to San Francisco, where
he died a poor man. Another Liwis and
Clarke county mine-the Drum Lummon
provides another such story 1t was
discovered by an Irish immigrant named
Thomas Cruise. Although he owned it,
he could not get a sack Of flour on credit.
He sold it to an English syndicate for 81
100000. But he remains one of the
wealthy men of Helena.
There is an ex-state senator in Beaver
Head county who owns a very rich mine

is California Forty MINER" and came
as a prospector to Montana, and since
discovering his mine has lived upon it in
peculiar way. He has no faith in banks
He says his money is safest in the ground
When he has spent what money he has,
he takes out wagon-load of ore, ships
it to Omaha, sells it, and lives on the re-
turn until he needs another wagon-load.
There is a queer story concerning the
Spotted Horse mine, in Fergus county.
1t was found by P. A. Meadow, who
sold it to Governor Hauser and A. M.
Holder for 100000 three years ago.
They paid large sum down in cash, and
the other payments were to come out of
the ground. The ore was in pockets,
each of which was easily exhausted.
Whatever was taken out went to Nc
dow, who got about 100000. Then the
purchasers abandoned it, ON the advice
of experts, and Meadow took hold of it.
He found the vein, over which rails had
been laid for mining car. He has
taken out $500, 900, and it is still good
mine. One of these children of luck
came to Helena with money, picked out
a wife, who was then a poor seamstress,
hired a hotel and invited the town to
the wedding. The amount of cham
payne that flowed at that wedding was
fabulous. and it is said that the whole
town reeled to bed that night.

attend beginners in the artistic world.
His picture was admitted to be good, but
he could not sell it, He returned to
America and opened a studio and art
school in Milwaukee, his native place,
but here he also failed to find purchaser
for his picture. He then took it back to
Europe again, where it was purchased
by an English art dealer, who sold it to
George F. Seney Of New York. It was
presented to the Metropolitan Museum
of Art by Mr., Seney and is now con-
sidered one of the gems of that famous
institutions collection.
Mr.. Mari is of German parentage and
was born in Milwaukee in 1858. He dis
played artistic talent while mere youth
and at the age of II his father sent him
to Germany to study. He first attended
the art school at Weimar and thence
went to Berlin and Munich. He is high
ly appreciated in Germany.

Popularity of New Medicines.


From time to time some form of treat.
ment for disease or some medicine be-
comes suddenly popular. Physicians Of
repute give their testimony and record
their belief in the new specific, and the
patients who have been benefited mani
fest that strange enthusiasm to get 9TH
ers into trying their remedy which is SO
marked characteristic of the average
man and woman. The newspapers find
out the latest craze, and reporters be-
come learned in many long words tech

the body or Of the action on these of the
new treatment.
For time he who reads or listens to
the talk OF others would believe that the
elixir has been found at last-that elixir
Of which Pythagoras dreamed and which
Lord Bacon thought might exist, the
wonderful cure all which is to vanquish
every disease--and then, within six
months, a year, two years at most, the
new remedy has been forgotten or has
sunk into modest place in the pharma-
copeia, and the new treatment is old
and of small respect. The part which
medical men play in putting these fads
into prominence and repute is most
important one. Without their counte-
nance and endorsement nothing could be
done. That they so countenance and in
dorse them may be attributed TO several
causes, some inherent in medical science,
others rejecting the highest praise on the
physicians themselves, and then, again,

quent and destructive this year than in
any year since 1883. 1t will be hard to
parallel in any year such calamity as
that at Pomeroy. The destruction there
seems to be almost complete. The town
has been literally wiped out and the loss
OF life is appalling. Undoubtedly much
of the loss of life might have been
avoided had underground chambers been
provided in the dwellings into which the
inmates could have fled when they saw
the cyclone approaching, and it seems a
little strange that in those cyclone dis

some such means of escaping the fury of
