 A Wallingford correspondent writes made here to form n company to manufac- ture a patent contrivance to be attached to boilers that would consume smoke and gas, making a twenty per cent saving in coal. The patentee is Louis Hallbauer of Meri- den and matters have progressed here so far that articles of association were drawn up and some $30, ,0OO of the $50. 900 needed has been subscribed. The scheme has now fallen through as far as Wallingford is concerned. and the industry will probably go to Waterbury, where it is said that S1OO. .000 can be raised for the purpose if needed, a number of leading capitalists being interested

Double Freight Trains DIsIikcd By

A double" freight train of ifty-fve cars pulled out of the East Hartford yard of the New York .S New England road at 6:3O last evening. The train was en route for the Hudson river. Two engines were in the train, the extra one being in the center. These double trains are dis liked by the railroad employees. If the trains had been separate there would have been two conductors and two crews, but as they were coupled together only one con- ductor and crew were allowed. And when the river is reached the crew will have to take Its turn in going Hack to East Hart ford and may lie dead" at its own ex- Pense for a day or two.

THE CAMPAIGN IN KENTUCKY.
A COnciiiatOTy Address Issued TO the
Democratic Voters.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Aug. 29.-The sub
committee of five, appointed blythe State
Central Committee for the purpose of
drafting an address to the Democratic
voters of Kentucky, have completed
their work. The address will be given
to the public as soon as the signature of
McUrey Woodson, Of Owensboro, Ky,
has been obtained.
The address urges and expects every
good Democrat in the State to stand by
the platform adopted and the ticket
nominated by the State Convention 1t
asks that differences between the party
leaders be ignored. Differences upon
economic questions are deplored,
but the Democrats are asked
to leave those problems to the National
Convention for settlement and to unite
in their efforts to perpetuate good gov
eminent in Kentucky.
The tone of the address is conciliatory
and those who participated in tle coz
ference say there is nothing in it which
the most radical sound money or free
silver men cannot approve with good
grace.

Counterfeit two Dollar Bills.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Aug. 29.-This city
has been flooded with counterfeit two
dollar bills. Some are of the series Of
1885 and bear the picture of Hancock
and it is difficult to detect them from
the genuine. Others ar eof the series Of
1891, bearing the picture of Window
and are more easily detected. 1t is the
impression that counterfeiters are work
ing them off in large quantities in this
section of the South. Banks and bust

A FAMOUS GLASS.
Which Is to BE Presented to the Lick OBJ
seryatory.

The director of the Lick Observatory
has received telegram which announces
that Hon. Edward Crossley, late member
of parliament for Halifax, Eng pro-
poses to present to the Lick Observatory
his great three-foot rejecting telescope,
with its dome and all it's apparatus COM
plete, says the San Francisco Examiner
Mr. Crosley himself an enthusiastic
amteur astronomer, makes no condition
to his gift. except that his telescope,
when set up at Mt Hamilton, shall be
called the Crossley reflector, and that the
expense of transporting the instrumer.
and dome from England to California
shall be borne by Americans.
| The splendid instrument which Mr..
Crossley offers is well known to astrono-
mers 1t was made by A. A Comm on,
of London, and for the magnificent photo
graphs made with it Mr.. Common re-
ceived the gold medal of the Royal AS
Economical Society. 1t was then pur-
chased by Mr. Crossley and set up in his
private observatory at Halifax, England,
along with other instruments.
An experience of some years has shown
Mr.. Crossley and his astronomer, Mr.
Gledhill, that the climate of England is
not good enough to do justice to this
great telescope, and he therefore deter
which was fayorably situated, where it
could be used to the fullest advantage.
1t is a great compliment to the Lick OBJ
servatory that MIR. Crossley has selected
it to receive his gift, and it is a practical
recognition of the fact that California is
the ideal climate for making astronomi-
cal observations, as has been fully shown
by the experience of the past seven years.
The addition of this great reflector to
the equipment of the Lick Observatory,
which already possesses the great three
foot refractor makes the instrument
outfit of Mt Hamilton decidedly superior
! to that of any other observatory now ex-
isting The refractor is eminentAy suita-
Bile for certain kinds of work. There are
other kinds in which the reflector possess
es distinct advantages. AS the Lick OBJ
servatory will soon have great telescope
of each kind established in most favor
able situation, it will be admirably fitted
in the future for every kind of astronomi-
cal work.
1t may be mentioned that the original
plan of the Lick Observatory contem-
plated the installation OF a great IeuecUOf,
as we'll as great refractor. 1t was found
that the funds left by Mr.. Lick were not
adequate to provide both these instru-
lnents, and the plan for making the re-
fiector was reluctantly abandoned.
The cost Of disnounting the reflector
and dome in England, Of transporting
them to California (only the more impor-
tant parts of the frame work of the dome
will be required here) and Of erecting the
comnlete annaratIls at Mt Hamilton will
be about S., 0OO This sum must be raised
by subscription in America before Mr..
Crossley;s generous offer can be definitely
accepted
