Hartford Courant: So, for the present at all events, and perhaps for long time to come, the Consolidated is to be an per cent. road, after having paid 10 per cent. dividends as regularly as clockwork during almost an average lifetime. The change affects unpleasantly 8 good many pockets and feelings hereabouts, but the roads officers explain that the falling off in the gross earnings make it necessary. If that is so, of course there is no more to be said. If it was choice, as President Clark suggests, between reducing the dividend and reducing the wages of the roads employees, the directors have chosen humanely and therefore wisely.

A plague is ravaging certain parts of China, and the situation appears to be a horrible one. By medical men it is de- scribed as similar to "the great plague of London" of 1865. It is frightfully rapid in it's. course. It is reported that 60,O00 people have fallen victims in the district of Canton. All agree that the cause of the disease is the abominable filth of the Cantonese, the drouth having caused the filth in the sewers to generate hideous forms of life. The plague seems to be entirely confined to the Chinese of the rat-eating class. Filth is at the bottom of most courageous diseases of this rank variety, and the plague only emphasizes the need of better science of sanitation even in civilized countries.

 Ethel, the 7-years-old daughter of William Berry of Rockville, was found last Friday afternoon with her clothes on fire and nearly burned off, and her face, hands and body blackened and charred. The child was alone in the house at the time, and from burned out matches found in her clothes by the doctors afterward, it is supposed the clothes caught fire while she was playing with these matches. Her small brother was the first to discover her and ran for some water and partially succeeded in extinguishing the fire. He then ran to the door screaming for help. MT. Bestor, whose market on Union street is directly under the home of the Berry's, Tttu up tno StblTS, duu WlCn the alQ or a heavy cloth put out the fire in the small scrap of clothing that was left on the lit tie girl.

This is the second fatal case in this city within about year from burning, the other a boy two years old who fell into tub of boiling water.
