Another Food and Health Exhibition to be Held.~

70 De Hel0e
 The New Haven Grocers' association have decided to hold food and health ex- hibition similar to that held two years ago, in the Second regiment armory on Meadow
 street during the first two weeks in Oeto-
 Der. Lewis D. Chidsey, who so ably pre- charge of the arrangements. Already hun dreds of people have applied for room to show exhibits. An orchestra will be in attendance, and there will be . lecturer on food and health. His Narrow Escape. WALLINayoRD, April 3.-Larry Nugent. a we'll known character, was arrested te
 night for slight ohense, and after being placed in the lookup, he commenced smoking. He fell asleep on the cot in the cell, but soon after the other prisoners raised an alarm when they saw the smoke pouring from the cell in which Nugent had been placed. Officer Martin went in- to the lookup and found the cot upon
 which Nugsns was lying in flames; Nu. gents clothing had caught fire, but he was making every effort to exsinguish the fire by drawing the bed covering around him. Officer Martin released Nugent from the cell in time probably to save him from being burned to death.
 Burned to Death.
 WEsTPoRT, Conn.,, April S.-Alphonso Abbott, aged fifty. and unmarried. who resided with his aged father at Huston Gen. ter, was burned to death while driving homo from this village yesterday after
 noon. In the absence of any pos
 tive knowledge as to how the accident oo-
 cured it is believed that. Abbott must
 have put lighted pipe in his pocket, set ting his clothing on fire. Abbott accom- panied Elliott Andrews, neighbor, to
 Westport in the morning, and when the
 two started to return they wore drunk.
 People living near Gray's Mills, three miles
 from the village, saw Abbott's clothing in | blaze and lifted him from the wagon and
 rolled him in the street in an endesvor to put out the blaze. Abbott died last night
 at 10 o'clock. Andrsws' coat, hands and
 and face were burned in his efforts to save
 his friends life.

Many Tribune Readers.
LARGE OUTPUT FOR ONE week
The South Works Beat All Previous
Records-A Daily Average of More
Than Five Hundred Tons for Eleven
Days-Mr. Sweeney's Ordinance for
improving the Mountain Road.
Shorter Paragraphs.

1t used to be the talk at tho mills of
the Lackawanna Iron aud Coal COM
pany when the Scranton Steel mill was
making rails in opposition that the
daily output of the former was frauiu e
lently recorded 1t WAS nothing new
in tine old days when Mr.. Scranton was
ut the helm aud his trusted lieutenant
and superintendent, @. w. McKin-
ney. looked after the exscu'
ton of the plans, to see a
new record established semi monthly
and the aim of all interested was to
make new record as often MS possible.
AT such times the rival workers would
attribute such reports TO many causes
They would charge crOokedness in
various forms and the principle argu-
ment was that the mill had to work
fourteen hours day to establish the
record that WAS made.
Last week the record was again
beaten, aud this time no such argu-
ment can be used, as the mill is now
working double turn. The output for
eleven turns was ). 542 tons, the best
ever made in tho city. This will not
remain for any great length Of time.
The management has stated that the
mill has a capacity of 800 tons per
working day of twelve hours, and that
these figures will be one day reached
cannot be doubted.

1mnrouinr the Mountain Road.

Mr.. Sweeney's ordinance appropriat-
ing $500 for the improvement of the
mountain road in the Twelfth ward
WAS reported favorably at the meeting
of common council last evening and it
will pass two readings next Thursday
evening Mr. Sweeney is confident that
the measure will become operative at
this session and as soon as spring opens
the work will be commenced.
This is a very worthy movement and
it means much for all the people Of the
South Side. Farmers living beyond
Simonsons have such an aversion to
using the present road that rather than
do it they drive round by way of Mos
COW and Dunmore, and thus deprive
residents of this portion of the city Of
the favorable results that would arise
from their more frequent visits.
