RLSLBY'S DEBTS.
Many Notes Held by Willimatic People for
 Large Amounts.

Large bAInOuutss
 Cashier o. Fl. K. Risley of Wi1liman- tic was supposed to be worth from $75,- 900 to $1OOOOO. It was discovered Sat urday that the Dime Savings bank holds his note for $7,OOO secured by stock in the Merchants Loan and Trust company whose only assets were $5, 900 of stock in the defunct national bank. The Willimantic Savings institute holds his note for 5000, secured by worth less collateral. Individuals in Willi- mantle hold other notes of his, making his indebtedness there alone more than $3O 900.
 Morgan G. Bulkeley, formerly gover- nor of the state, and Vice. President Hall of the Consolidated road, went to Willimantic Saturday, and held a two hours consultation with General Boss, president of the gas company. Bull1e- ley and Boss are intimate political friends, and Halls name is on several forged notes.
 The affairs of the bank came up in their conversation, but there was noth- ing said which would interest the pub lie.
 The story of the finding of Ris1ey's black box in the vaults of the bank brought Mrs. Adams of Rockville to Wi1limantic Saturday.
 "I've come for brothers private pa pers," she said excitedly, to Examiner Dooley, as she entered the bank. Doo- ley told her politely that he was unable to give her papers that Risley left in the bank; all his property would be turned over to the administra tor, who would be appointed next Friday. Mrs. Adams thought sine, as the dead mans sister and only relative, was entitled to receive the black box, and for a time an interesting scene was imminent. she saw the futility of her en- deavors and went away 6isheartened Tn case Mrs. Adams is appointed execu- trix no disclosure would be made of the nature of the private document in the box at the bank.
 Undertaken Sessions made a state ment which put an end to all the talk of exhuming Risley's body. 'If he did not die of Bright's disease" said he, IT killed him, for I injected two quatrs 1f embalming fluid, containing more than fifty grains of arsenic, into his body"

An Interesting Document Regarding It
 Just Received by Postmaster Beach.
 An interesting document, copy of the records of the local postoff1ce for the quarter ending March 31, 1794, was received by Postmaster Beach yester- day from Postmaster A. J. Sibley of Montpelier Vt MT. Sibley says that he has the original records for that year. The copy shows the total re- ceipts of this office for the quarter were $2577, and the balance turned over to the general postofflce was $14.93. The receipts fir the correspond ing quarter of this year were $55, ,687.76.
 The receipts of past three quarters of the fiscal year show an increase of ten thousand of the corresponding period of last year. Should the re- ceipts of the final quarter show a cor increase the total receipts of the year will be about $2O2, ,0OO This will entitle the postmaster to an addi- tional $1OO per year to his salary.

 Now the tide doesn't ebb and flow
 twice in twenty-four hours in Granby,
 and the senator hasn't the beautiful picture of this oyster fleet spread out | before him as we have it in Bridgeport.
 off from the harbor of Bridgeport alone there are sixteen steamers and two hundred and sixty sailing vessels, and during the season for gathering seed it is most beautiful sight to watch them at their work. The value of their in dustry Is apparent when I say 1t is esti- mated that they spend annually in Bridgeport upward of seventy thousand
 dollars.
 'The necessity of the inspector Is ap- parent to all who have carefully looked into the matter, and when the salary is placed beside that of the factory in- spector and other similar officials, it doesn't loom up to such proportions. l realize that the constituents of my friends from Granby and Columbia, who size up the doings of the senators while sitting in solemn conclave on the barrel heads at the stores Saturday nights, are no less exacting critics than those of my friends from the eighth and my own district, who discuss our rela- tive merits over the string pieces at the city wharf, and I thoroughly believe that in the opposition to the police oys- ter bill my friends were endeavoring to carry out the wishes of the community that sent them here That they were ty, f1,,f,s 6o4 c ure will not, I trust, prejudice them against this bill. I believe that they will do their duty to their constituents if they vote for this bill as thoroughly as did the Hartford policeman Whonft the Courant told us of the other day. It seems that a prominent Hartford gentleman, whom I am credftably in- formed was not the senator from the First, is something of a sleep walker. The other might he arose and went out of the house and passed in state down Asylum street, clad only in a single garment. He was awakened by po- liceman, who insisted that he go to his home and dress so that the policeman. could lock him up. But you can't lock me up,' said the citizen. I am a somnambulist.' T don't care what church you belong to- said the officer; you can't walk down Asylum street with nothing on but your shirt if you belong to all the churches in Hartford
 I trust, gentlemen, that my remarks have removed any doubts you may have entertained regarding this meas ure, and that you will unanimously pass the bill so that justice may be done and that you may all retire to- night with the full conscience of a duty well performed, and peacefully and quietly sleep the sleep that comes to those whose conscience is at ease.

4 NEW ATHLETIC DEPARTURE.
An Intercollegiate Gymnastic Association
 to be Formed Next Fall.

An Intercollegiate Gymnastic Association to be Formed Next Fall. All regular gymnastic work in the gymnasium has now been discontinued until next fail, although there is still some individual work going on. Dr, Anderson is endeavoring to form an in tercollegiate gynlnastic association with
 Harvard, Yale and Princeton. A let ter was written to Harvard some time ago proposing the plan, but reply was received saying that nothing in the way Of general gymnastic work has ever been attempted in Harvard. It IS thought however, that next year an as- sociation of this sort will be formed with the three members above mentioned. If so, meets between the teams of these three colleges will be held during the year. Nothing of this sort had ever been attempted between American col leges until the Yale-Princeton meet short time ago, and so successful was that that new interest Is being taken in this branch of work.
 A new double bar has has lately been put into the Yale gymnasium and be- fore college opens next fall there will be several new machines, chest weights, ticks and other developing apparatus.
 Captain Thorne of the football team has his candidates for quarter and all others who wish to practice passing and bunting at work in the gym lot. There are about fifteen working there at pres ent every afternoon.

THE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING

take little Carlsbad Sprudel Salt in a glass full of water. That will set you right and keep you right, if you're inclined to be bill ious or dyspeptic or cot1stipated.
 People wonder, sometimes, why it is that the Carlsbad treatment, the worlds remedy for habitual constipation, should be recon mended for diarrhoea and such disorders, too. Simply, because it leads the stomach and bowels naturally into a healthy condi- ton, whatever their derange- ments-it doesn't accomplish its results by harmful irritation, as most pills and purgatives do.
 Beware of limitations sold as "improved" or artificial Carlsbad Salt.
 The only genuine Carlsbad Salt, with all the properties of the Sprudel Spring so1idifed, has the seal of the city of Carls- bad and the signature of "EIsNER & MENDELsoN Co.,, Agents, New York, on every bottle. All others are worthless limitations.
