The New England Pants Company n Thing
of the Past.


Dan Blumanheld, who came to this
city several months sgo and traded
under the name OF the Now England
Pants Company, left the city on Sunday
or Monday between two lights. and it is
alleged that he carried with him about
$500 worth OF pants goods, SlO7 OF Dor
rowed money and about $3.50 more,
which he had taken on deposit from his
vsrious customers.
He has been engaged in business for
some time with l.. Cohn, tailor OF this
city. II seems that Cohn had stood for
the purchase money on the goods which
Blumahfeld is alleged to have removed
and at various times Cohn loaned him
money aggregating over 500, which he
took with him.
Bluman6eld was arrested here once
on the charge OF having stolen lot of
furniture In Norfolk. He was protected
in this matter and afterwards bailed out
by Mr. Cohn through sympathy for the
man. Il IL also alleged thas he works
under number of aliases.

how comparatively helpless we are.

each other to get ready. Nations do

The passage OF the bill by the United

The passage OF the bill by the United
OF ex-ConfederAtes, was little slow
but 1t WAS soon enough for all
practical purposes. The Southern SOL
diers have been too busy recuperasing
their shattered fortunes TO desire SER
vice in the army as a profession. Now,
however, that the country may need
them, they cordlally accept the proffer
OF Mort hern goodwill in the same spirit
that it was rendered, and are ready to
demonstrate on the battlefield, if
necessary, their loyalty to the flag and
fidelity to the Union.

WORKTNGMEN'S LEAGUEs.

Rev. MT. Martin of the Christian Industrial
 League Trying to Organize Them in the
 City Churches.
 Rev MT. Martin of Sprfn ngfeld, Mass, has been in the city during the past week representing the Christian Indus trial league, which is a lately organiz- ed effort to cover the entire country with agencies in the various churches to reach the working classes. It is pro posed to organize leagues of working men in the local churches, somewhat af- ter the manner of lodges. The members are to work in the shops among their associates, and bring them into the churches an secure for them its ben efits. Among other interesting feat ures is the application for the first time in American churches of the insurance or benefit system, similar to that in use in certain lodges.
 The first society under the system is now being formed in the Presbyterian church, and others will be formed in the Howard avenue Congregational church and in other churches. The plan is unique and has received the endorse. ment of prominent clergymen through out the country.

An Important Invention.

A telephone attachment for railroad use, which bids fair to create big in- terest In railroad circles all over the United States, is that which General Superintendent E. B. Baker of the Southern New England Telephone com pany has just invented. Later on it is expected to secure communication by telephone from moving trains, The Val ley division of the Consolidated road has already been equipped with Mir. Ba- ker's device. By it's means the telephone is called into requisition by the train dispatcher in addition to the telegraph dispatching wires, and is so arranged | by the device that the dispatcher can be called by any station or block along the line in a second. This makes a great additional safeguard to the run ming of trains.
 But a hanging set which is to be car ried on every baggage car and caboose takes the cake" If a train comes to a standstill through a block, wreck or any other trouble, the hanging set, con- sisting of spliced rods with a cross arm at the top, is dropped on two wires on the pole line alongside the track This establishes connection as well as if the telephone instrument was in the most quiet private office. This has been tried and will work on every foot of line along railroad.
 In case of wreck the telephone is brought into immediate working order, calling the dispatcher with the notifica- | ton and orders are sent direct to the spot in return. The invention will make railroading still more safe than even with the cautionary block system, with which it works most effectively.
 Mr Baker says it is but step to car " the device to point where it can be used just as readily on moving trains, and that it can be used for passengers as well as the railroad itself

In his hurry to rid himself of his habiliaments he had dropped his club hurriedly which, while bouncing around on the sidewalk, had served to sound an alarm and Officers Streit, Hope and Ko- Der responded in a twinkling, The fire was put out and proved to be in his vest, which had become started from a large number of matches which had be- come i2nited in some unaccountable manner After the excitement of the moment was over and the fire subdued all hands congratulated the officer on his narrow escape.

By Letters Sent Them Yesterday, Charging
 Doings Not in Keeping With the Rules of
 the Department.
 There was much consternation among the sixteen letter carriers connected with the local postoffice yesterday when it became known to them at about noon that batch of sixteen letters to be giv- en out to them had been given to Su- perintendent of Carriers J. J. Kennedy, There had been rumors among the caf- riers that when the extensive investiga- ton of carriers in Hartford, as a result of which four carriers were dismissed, was going on, inspectors were also at work in the New Haven office, and the present sending of letters would seem to prove the correctness of the rumors, The letters were sent to Postmaster Beach, being directed to the carriers and he was requested to distribute them after going over the contents. The car riers were much disturbed, as they re- ceived the letters, and there was much rage and gnashing of teeth. together with fearfulness.
 It is said that the letters contain charges. including everything which tn inspectors have discovered the carriers doing not consistent with the rules. Su- perintendent Kennedy thinks that mosj of the charges can be satisfactorily ex- plained to the postoffice authorities.

Official Test of the New me ican Liner GIT
 Cape Ann.
 Observatory, Rockport Mass, Oct A. At o'clock this morning the new Amer can liner St. Paul, with everything put in ship shape, appeared opposite this place for her official trial trip, which was postponed the other day on account of the condition of her boilers. In view of the adverse conditions of to-day for the trip it was genrally believed that the test would not take place. Conse- quently there were few persons in this vicinity when the new ship appeared in sight The St. Paul lost no time, but headed directly for the line at great burst of speed. The ship was timed as she was going by Thatcher's, distance of three-quarters of a mile She made the distance in 1A minutes.
 Far off in the Boston bay horizon a faint cloud of smoke, scarcely bigger than a man's hand, was discovered. It grew bigger and bigger, and soon it be- came evident it was the St. Paul.
 The starting buoy was shifted sever al miles back to-day from it's position of Wednesday. so that the course laid out for the trial was of the government regulation length of 43.99 miles and re- turn. There was no jockeying around as on Wednesday, The St. Paul start ed off at once to make the trip under a high pressure of steam She cut through the waves like a knife. The high wind blew the thick clouds of black smoke miles astern. Despite the force of the head wind and sea- she seemed to run smoothly.
 The little red flag of the Cramps was floating at the stern. This was their signal that the trial had begun. As the ship passed the starting line she gave two hoarse whistles, which indi- cated that she was off. From the start 1t was believed that the St. Paul would make twenty three miles an hour on the passage home
 At 9:35 o'clock the St. Paul was mak- ing close to twenty-two miles an hour The wind had increased steadily in ve- locity, and there were no signs of the ship turning back.
 At 12:30 o'clock the St. Paul was seen returning near the end of the trip. She ! will make an average speed of about l 21% miles per hour.
 At 1:01 o'clock the St. Paul was com | ing for the finish at a tremendous speed | She was apparently being forced at a l higher rate than when she started. The bow wave was of much larger pro portions.
 In order to make an average of twen, ty-two miles per hour the St. Paul must have finished at ;11:30, which is allow ing twenty minutes to be deducted at | the turn, the usual average.
