GREAT CROPS IN THE WEST.

Cornelius B. Taylor, the popular
agent at the Newtown station, arrived
in town on Friday last from his trip to
st Paul, MINI. He made the trip out
via the Lehigh Valley, the Nickel Plate
and the Chicago, Milwaukee & st Paul.
Throughout the entire section he passed
through he found the farmers rejoicing
in great crops. The government corn
crop report places the yield of this prod
ucr at $500, ,OOO,O 600 bushels. Mr. Taylor
made the same trip, last year. and the
contrast was marked. Then he passed
through miles of corn and other crops
entirely dried up, while to-day the fields
are laughing in plenty. The effect OF
the good crops has already been felt in
business circles. The wholesale houses
are stocking up for the country trade,
and business men generally are hopeful
Mr. Taylor was told of one wholesale
dry goods house of st Paul that had re
ceived 80 car loads of goods at one CON
signment. Potatoes were selling very
cheap at st Paul, the quotations being
u to 1Sc per bushel. On the way on
Agent and Mrs Taylor stopped at Mag

A WORD FROM REV MIR DAVIES.

The Editor of The NEwTowN BEE
My attention has been called to an edi-
torial in your issue of last week, with
reference to which l hope you will per-
NIT me these few remarks. For the sake
OF the common sense Of the church in
Derby. and also for the sake of any of
my former parishioners in Green's Farms
who care to hear it, trust you will give
what publicity you think fit to what fol-
lows. The report to which your editor
ial has given added currency has been re-
peatedly denied in the local papers on
the basis of face to face knowledge of
the facts. 1t is absolutely without any
foundation. This should be enough, it
seems to me, in the way of correction,
for such 6 ridiculous, quixotic and un-
worthy report as that to which you give
partial credence. will add that If /
knew who it was that started this and
other reports, would know the spirit of
the offender. 1t seems to me that there
should be some way devised by which
this anonymous libelling could be per-
manently stopped. We know that such
offenses are indictable at common law,
under the general term ''libel." Such a
salutary influence would be exerted by a
few cases Of this sort, that it almost
makes one wish to be the first victim.
But the pc operators of these crimes mask
their faces. And so long as newspaper
men and others are deficient in good
methods Of doing work and are actusted
by unworthy ideals In their efforts, go
long, suppose, will this moral lynching
proceed galore.
With regard to the specifications of the
newspapers, may be permitted to say
that the good name of the church in Der
by, a church of ancient traditions, of dis
tinguished history and local prestige,
church which has stood in the van in the
Naugatuck Valley in all good work-this
is enough in reply to the squibs of third
rate newspaper reporters who are defic-
lent in the elements of moral training. 1
care nothing for what the newspapers
say about me personally; they cannot
harm any individual outside of his social
connection. 1t is always the social con-
nection that is injured by these gregari-
Gus reports. From the point of view of
the church and the ministry come the
danger and evil. L will add therefore
that we have no baseball club in the
church; not single member of my
church is member of any baseball Or
ganization; and never, in the whole his
tory of this city has the First church
sanctioned the breaking of the law with
regard to Sunday baseball. There is no
desire or intention in that direction.
1t is true that L have resigned. But
the reasons publicly given are false. My
resignation was not called for. The
church is united and does not intend to
be tempted into discord. My health is
the sole reason for the step and in every
sense L regret the necessity which COM
pels me to leave. Thanking you in ad-
vance for publishing this note, L am,
etc., Henry Davies, Derby, Ct, Sep
tember 10, 1895.

The Chilean Award.

The case of Joseph Quigley, a
second-class fireman in the navy,
is an interesting one. He was at
tached to the U. S. S. Baltimore
during the Chilean revolution and
was badly injured during the riots
in Valparaiso that followed the
overthrow of the government. Chile
paid an indemnity of SIS, 900 for
those riots and the sum of 81, 900
was set aside by this government
for Quigley's share of the fund.
That individual disappeared some
time ago, and when apprehended
was tried by court-martial at Mare
Island, CaE, for desertion. He was
acquitted of that charge and con-
victed of being absent from the
ship without leave. For this in
fraction of the regulations he was
sentenced to six months confne-
ment and to be dishonorably dis
charged from the service. He has
already served four and q half
months of his sentence and has
been an exemplary prisoner. TAX
ing these things into consideration
Secretary Herbert has RENTED the
unexecuted portion of his sentence
and has sent him a check for
$1,000, which will undoubtedly en-
able him to have a very merry
Christmas. This payment COM
pletes the disbursement Of the
Chilean indemnity fund with the
exception of $500 allotted to one of
the Baltimore's injured sailors
named w. H. Nichols, who deserted
soon after the riots and has not
been seen since.-Exchange.

What HORSEPOWER aFeaus.

The unit of measurement of me-
chanical power was introduced by
James Watt and called a "horse
power" How this name originated
is well told in the Magdeburge-
Zeitung. One Of the first steam
engines built by Watt was to fur
nish the power for the pumps in
the brewery at Witbread, England,
which up to that time was supplied
by horses. The contract called for
as much power as furnished by a
strong horse, and in order to get as
powerful an engine as possible the
brewer ascertained the amount of
labor performed by a horse by
working an exceptionally strong
horse for full eight hours without a
stop, urging the animal with a whip
until it was exhausted, and there
by succeeded in raising 100000
gallons of water. Considering the
height of the reservoir this labor
represents the present unit of a
horsepower" that is, the lifting
of 1881 pounds to a height of about
three feet per second. This result,
however, was obtained by excep-
tional methods and should not be
considered tho basis of measure
ment of mechanical power. Act
ually the power of the average
horse is barely 65 to 70 pounds
three feet high per second.
