TackSon-Street Wharf Is Clogged
With Piles Of UnSold
Produce.
a CONSTANTLY GROWING MASS
TIE State Harbor Commissioners Will
Clean Up the Dock by Auc.
ton Sale.

Jackson-street wharf from the entrance
to the pierhead IS "groaning with plenty"
A thousand tons or more day of produce
comes up and down the bay to be landed
there, and this supply is pillng over the
demand until sacks OF potatoes, beans and
onions are lying in prodigal profusion
around.
Many of the bags have burst in the
handling and others have been cut open
by purchasers examining the contents.
From these there is woeful waste all
over the wharf.
This condition is doubtless unavoidable,
owing to the great quantity being con-
stantly sent in from the country and the
failure of the usual means of importation.
Heretofore a market was found for the
surplus produce of the State in Arizona,
Texas and other localities in the South
east. but the falling of freight rates on
lines leading from other places to those
points has shut out the Pacific Coast crop.
The abundance uncalled for lies and
wastes on the wharves.
There are sacks of potatoes here that
were landed month and a half ago, d"
said the wharfTger. Il have notified the
commission merchants time and again to
remove them, but the stuff is here yet.
The State is not running store houses and
the dock is SO clogged that traffic is inter
fered with, but the condition OF affairs is
unchanged. The commission people are
really unable to handle the surplus and
lots OF ii is now not tit fOr market"
Harbor Commissioner Cole and Chief
Whariinger Root visited the wharf yester-
day. Hundreds of tons Of beans lay there
with the bursting bags OF potatoes and
with the sacks of onions that were taking
she'd of the cool wharf to sprout From
vessels on each side of the docks new
carEoeS were being unloaded, the men
with difficulty crawling over the piles of
sacks already ashore.
1--WE find ii impossible to accommodate
all who have rented berths alongside the
wharf" said Mr.. Root, land something
must be done right away. We cannot
collect storage on freight that has lost all
value. There are new lots of potatoes here
that viii probably bring 10, 10 and 20 cents
q sack, but much Of them would not bring
that much per ton."
This has got to 60" said Commissioner
Cole. The produce-dealers and people in
charge or this mass of stuff must be noti-
fled tomorrow by postal card and through
the newspapers that the wharf must be
cleaned off and il the future kept clean, or
else we shall handle them ourselves. We
will sell the lots at auction, even if we
doh get more toan III cents per ton, or
give them away to those who will come
after them. There are many poor families
in the City who may lay in their winter S
supply OF beans and potatoes from this
abundance going 10 waste. Nothing would
please me better than 10 see all these sacks
that have become a nuisance carried away
one by one by those who are unable to buy
at the usual prices. Nothing shall be
thrown overheard, bat must simply be re-
moved by somebody. We will tinu buyers
at some figure, or at least at none"

FOUR INQUESTS HELD.
Murder, Suicide, Accident and Care
iessncss the Causes of Death.

Murder, Suicide, Accident and Care
iessncss the Causes of Death.
Coroner Hawkins held four inquests yes
terday. A jury decided that Mrs. Carrie
Green of 435 Ringold street. who died of
morphine poisoning on October %, had
committed suicide.
In the case of Frank Bocca, an Italian.
living at 567 Stevenson street, who was
hurt on October 20, it was decided that he
died from a shock and that the cause of
the shock was being run over by the
Southern Pacific Companys car caused by
his own carelessness."
On the 23d ult. William Sierpe was shot
and killed in Hinckley place by Manuel
Moreno during drunken quarrel. ver-
dict in accordance with these facts was re-
turned.
A verdict of accidental death was rem
dered in the case of H. H. Horton of 214

A Grand Festival of Music.

In which nearly all the well known mu- sical organizations, vocal and instru- mental, of New Haven will take part will be given at the Second regiment armory in this city January g, 10, Il and 12 in aid of the Industrial Home for the Blind. General admission 25 cents. Re- served seats 50 cents. The program will be varied each afternoon and evening A number of talented young blind peo- pie will contribute songs, recitations and instrumental selections. A band and glee club, consisting of blind peov pie from the Industrial home, will ay to the interest of the occasion. About twenty pupils of the institution will fill up the time not occupied by the enter tainment in the manufacture of brooms and mattresses, thus giving the people of New Haven an opportunity to see these blind people at work, it being not only the object of the trustees to obtain present financial support for the insti- tuition, but to accustom the people of this state to the idea that the greatest pOoSlblG GbbAl IlldL tctll COlilC lO IilCoC young blind people is the opportunity to cultivate self-reliance by learning and following some useful trade or oc- cupation whereby they may become self-supporting, self-respecting, happy and contented men and women, instead of spending their lives in idle depend ence and neglect, a condition which oft times adde great and unnecessary gloom to the amending night of their
 Hives.
 Is it possible that any more worthy cause can be presented to the consider ation of our citizens, or any appeal more forcibly arrest the attention or arouse the sympathies, cooperation and support of our people? We most earn estly join with Bishop Williams, Bishop Tierney and other eminent divines in our state in our endorsement of this work and bespeak for this festival an unparalleled success,

WERE BURNED TO A CRISP.
4 WOMAN AND HER CHILDREN PER ISHED IN 4 TENEMENT FIRE.

The Fact That Their Lives Were Lost Was
 Not Discovered Until Long After the Fire
 Had Been Extinguished--The Mother Be-
 came Panic Stricken.
 New York, Jan. 2.-Three lives were lost in fire at 25 Pitt street to-day The victims were Mrs, Lena Lehman and her two children, Sarah and Henry, aged respectively two years and two months. The fact that lives were lost was not discovered until some time af- ter the fire was eXtinguished. The ire men were overhauling the building when they discovered the three bodies, burned to a crisp, lying beneath heap of debris in the turn of the stairway Ut the third floor. The woman lived on the fourth floor and was trying to es- cape to the street, when she and her infants perished in the flames. Their | lives would have been saved had the panic-stricken mother remained in her apartments until help came to her, which it did promptly to the other ten ants.
 The building is five-story tenement. About o'clock the housekeeper discov- cred smoke coming from the cellar into the first hallway. Before she could make an investigation the smoke was followed by flames. She ran screaming into the street and gave the alarm. The startled tenants ran for the stairs, but found the hallways filled with smoke and flames. They then crowded the fire | escapes and waited for help.
 Policemen helped the women and chill dren to the street. One child was over come by smoke, but was soon revived. The fire spread so quickly that when the fremen started to work the flames had spread to the top floor and were bursting from the roof. The fire was got under control within an hour and soon afterwards was drowned out. The flames did not invade any of the apart ments except thoseaon the top floor, but all others were damaged by smoke and water. A fireman was slightly over- come by smoke and heat
