For some time past the health of Le- ander Harrison has been gradually on the decline and some few weeks ago he sustained a shock, from which effects he never fully recovered, and yesterday his demise occurred at il o'clock. Since the shock he had been able at times to be up and around the house, and was up for while yesterday before he died. Since the shock occurred his mind had not been entirely clear and at times he was considerably deranged, but not vlo- lent. The deceased followed the ocou- patton of farming and had always re- sided here, this being his native town, having first seen the light of day at the residence now occupied by Walter Hill, known as the Treadway place, and Is only short distance east of the de- ceased's home on East Center street. He was of the "49' who visited Califor- mia, but did not stay there long and returned to Wallingford. He was sew enty-seven years old, and besides wid- ow and daughters he also leaves a sis ter, Mrs. Abigail Treadway, who is wid- ow of the late Lyman Treadway, well known in New Haven. The funeral will be held at o'clock Sunday afternoon

 No Action Was Taken by the Grand Trunk Line Men.
 New York, June 27.--A meeting of trunk line presidents was held here to- day for the purpose of discussing the question of east-bound passenger and freight rates and coming to some agree ment whereby these rates, which have reached the lowest figures of last sum mer, could be restored to a full schedule basis and faithfully adhered to. After discussion the presidents decided upon and each one signed the following:
 Resolved, That from July 8, 1895, the presidents or chief executive officers of the companies represented at the meeting pledge themselves to absolute ly maintain the full published tariff on east bound and west bound freight rates on all classes of traffic as now authorized by joint committee until ten days after written notice is given the commissioner of the trunk line or cen- tral traffic association by any member of its withdrawal from the agreement;
 kAIluy LlleI tdly SOIlll eiGL dt t IdlG below the authorized tariff shall be on or before July first filed with said com missioner.
 This resolution to be continued in effect so long as it is observed by all lines hereto and which question of ob- servance shall be determined promptly by the commissioners on complaint made.
 That we also pledge ourselves that no contract shall be made by our lines which will prevent the operation of the foregoing resolution"
 This agreement if rigidly enforced, will materially increase the revenue of the trunk lines. After the resolution was agreed upon, the presidents dis cussed west-bound passenger rates, which have also received their share of attention from the rate-slashing lines. The conference resulted in the signing to the agreement of May 17 of names of those who were not bound by 1t before. Some railroad men see the imprint of J. Pierpont Morgan's hand in the presi- dents agreement to stand together for higher rates. That financier invited those who attended the conference to dine with him tonight on his steam yacht Corsair.

It will probably be impossible Ito give everyone proper attention the last day or two. Why not make selec- tions before the rush comes? We will take orders at S67 Chapel street, but fruits keep us pretty busy here,

 The Leander eight made their first ap- pearance on the river this afternoon. They did not row over the course, but took number of short spins.

HIS DREAM WAS WORTH MIL
LIONS.

Elias Howe almost beggared
himselfbefore he discovered where
the eye of the needle of a sewing
machine should be located. His
original idea was to follow the
model of the eye at the heel. It
never occurred to him that it
should be placed near the point,
and he might have failed altogeth-
if he had not dreamed he was
building a sewing machine for a
savage king in a strange country.
Just as in his actual working ex-
~perience, he was rather perplexed
about the needles eye. He thought
the king gave him twenty-four
hours to complete a machine and
make it sew. If not finished IN
that time, death was to be the
punishment. Howe worked and
worked and puzzled and puzzled,
and finally gave 1t up. Then he
thought he was taken out to be
executed. He noticed that the
warriors carried spears hat were
pearced near the head. Instantly
came a solution Of the difficulty,
and while the inventor was beg
ging for time he awoke. 1t was
four o'clock in the morning. He
jumped out of bed, ran to his work.
shop, and by nine o'clock a needle
with an eye at the point had beer
rudely modelled.

GOLD PRODUCTION.

The summing up of 1894 showed
a total production in round fig
ures of $3.50, 600, 900, an increase
of $23, 900 over 1893. This
yield was about 100000 great
er than the product of any year
when the placer mines of Califor-
MIA and Australia we're at their
maximum. The indications now
point to a yield of $200,0O0,00 0
for the calendar year 1896, anoth-
er increase of $4,000, 600, and an
increase of S43, 100000 in the an
nual output in two years, and of
S54,0O0,000 in three years. AS the
annual supply of gold Is not used
in the year, but is mostly added
to the pre-existing sum, it follows
that the worlds stock has been
increased in the three years nam
ed by the enormous sum of $751;
.OOO, 900.
The consumption of gold in the
arts Is undoubtedly increasing gen.
orally, although there was a mark
ed dIminution of such use in 1894,
owing TO the hard times. The use
of gold for purposes Of adornment
which is almost it's only use ex.
cept as money, rises and falls &C.
cording to the prosperity of the
nations. 1t is an article Of luxu.
ry. These uses in the United
States, according to the calcula.
tions Of the mint, were about 49,.
100000 IN 1893, but fell TO Sl3,
100000 in 1894 Very likely tn,
consumption Of the present yea
will equal or exceed that of 1893
On the other hand, the product o.

RAPID TUNNELING MACHINE.

An inventor, L. REGARD, of Cal
ifornia has invented a rapid tun-
neling machine which it is claimed
will saw out a tunnel at a rate Of
% feet daily.
The machine is twelve feet long,
six feet high and four feet wide,
and is run by a 14-horse power
engine, the total weight being
$500.
The principal is that of a circu-
lar saw, GO drill points attached to
each of two wheels, four feet high
and eight inches in diameter,
make 600 revolutions per minute;
each point on-half inch apart,
every revolution feeding one
eighth of an inch. The inventor
says it will cut 20 feet of 6xS feet
in a day in the hardest rock, at a
cost of 81 per foot. The machine
costs $1,000, and requires three
men to run it. The rock is
crushed as fine as wheat grains,
carried to the rear and dumped
into a car. The drill points weigh
one-quarter of a pound each, last
four days, and are kept cool by 6
stream of water. Bullion.

has been continued, and Attorney
Deuprey. for the defense, will

District Attorney Barnes expects
to make his argument Wednesday
To those who have carefully noted
the evidence in this famous case it
appears almost impossible that
any other verdict than that Of
guilty as charged in the indict-
ment can be returned by the jury.
