MT. Edward McGowan returned last evening from trip to Washington D, c. The whole party from New Ha- ven and vicinity, numbering forty five ladies and gentlemen, stayed at the beautiful Hotel Regent, in Washington. The guests speak in the highest terms of the hotel and it's management The whole party in a body visited the capi- tol, the soldiers monument, treasury department, the court rooms, etc., and then took the train to Mt. Vernon and viewed the tomb of Washington and saw the pew where the father of his country sat in church and the old car- riage which Washington rode in many times MT. McGowan heard several speeches made while in the senate chamber and said that viewed as ora tory the talking was pretty tame. On Washington's birthday several of the party tsayed over day later than the others, visited the white house and shook hands with President Cleveland in the east parlor.

FULLY 1000 pEOPLE

Enjoyed the Skating at Lake Whitney on
 Washington's Birthday.
 Fully 4,000 people enjoyed the skating at Lake Whitney Saturday. It was a thoroughly democratic assemblage of both rich and poor, young and old, great and small. The skating was not of the best, it being quite rough, with cracks in the ice at intervals, but all were happy nevertheless.
 A MARROW ESCAPE.
 A narrow escape from drowning was averted by the efforts Of an unknown man about 4:30 o'clock. Two brothers, George T. Platt and Robert c. Platt, of 341 Ellsworth avenue, were doing some fancy skating, at which they are very expert and got upon a soft spot where the ice had been cut recently there being only a thin layer of new ice there. Suddenly the ice gave way and they went down. A large crowd gath cred and by the prompt efforts of a man whose name could not be learned the two young men were rescued. Af- ter they had recovered from the shock, they ran home with their wet clothes on.

He knew that the financial blunders of the pre- ceding generation had created an enor- nous debt against those states which had permitted the issuance Of bills of credit. He knew, as did all the framers of the constitution whether federalists or democrats in theory, whether of the Hamiltonian or Jeffersonian school, that the constitution was understood by it's framers and by the states that rati- lied 1t to be a grant of power only to the federal government. He knew that the authority given the federal con gpeSs to coin money and regulate its value, was to secure a uniform stand ard of sound money He knew the framers of the constitution, when they prohibited to the states the power to issue bills of credit, and from making anything but gold and silver a legal tender for the payment of debts, had never dreamed of conferring upon the representatives of the several states power which they had prohibited to the states themselves. He never be- lieved, whatever the exigencies of war might be, that a federal congress would asume the power to make the paper promises to pay, legal tender for the payment of debts, and in his widest apprehensions for the future he never thought that within one hum dred years, the nation he had founded, even if in the exigencies of war and the danger of dissolution it should issue treasury notes if would be for a gener- ation after peace was established. fail to pay its debt payable on demand, and make the evidences of that debt a continual legal tender for the pay ment of all obligations"

It will be the largest convention ever held by this or any other order. It will be com posed of two representations from the SS1 lodges. whose total membership is over 450,000, which, together with many permanent and life members and com mittees and visitors, will make an at tendance of nearly eight hundred at the sessions.
 There are ten lodges in New Haven, with total membership of over 2,600, and they will be represented by the fol- lowing members:
 Past Grand Master Workman R. B.. Farren, who by virtue of his office is a life member of the grand lodge; Grand Foreman John c. Gallagher who will be elected the next grand master work man.

It has heretofore consisted of three members of the order, who reside in Massachusetts. Last year R. B. Far ren was nominated as an appointive candidate and was defeated by only a few votes. He will again be placed in nomination this year and will poll the entire vote of Connecticut and the prin- cipa1 mart of the vote of Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode Island But the majority of votes being in Massachu- sets, his election can only be carried by the support of a large number from that state

Washington to Trpmbull.

From the Montcair (N. J.) Herald.
 The following letter from General Washington to Jonathan Trumbull, jr., is now in the possession of family in this town:
 Mount Vernon, Jany. 5th, 17S4. Dear Trumbull.
 Your obliging letter of the 18th of Novr. did not reach me until some days after we had taken possession of the City of New York-The Scene that followed of festivity, congratulation, addresses, and resignation must be my apology for not replying to it sooner.-
 I sincerely thank you for the Copy of the Address of Govr. Trumbull to the Genl. Assembly & Freemen of your State The Sentiments contained in it are such as would do honor to a Patriot of any Age or Nation! at least they are too conincident with my own, not to meet my warmest approbation.-Be so good as to present my most cordial re- spects to the Governor and let him know that it is my wish the mutual friendship & esteem which have been planted & fostered in the tumult of public life, may not wither and die in the serenity of retirement; tell him we should rather amuse our evening hours of life, in cultivating the tender plants & bringing them to perfection before they are transplanted to happier c}ime.-
 Notwithstanding the jealous and con- tracted temper which seems to prevail in some of the States, yet I cannot but hope & believe that the good sense of the People will ultimately get the bet ter of their prejudices; and that order and sound policy-tho' they do not come so soon as one would wish--will be produced from the present unsettled and deranged state of public affairs Indeed I am happy to observe that the political disposition is actually melio- rating every day. Several of the States have manifested an inclination to in- vest Congress with more ample Powers Most of the Legislatures appear dis posed to do perfect justice-and the As- sembly of this Commonwealth have just complied with the acquisitions of Congress and I am informed without a dissentient voice.-Everything My dear Trumbull, will come right at last as we have often prophesied-My only fear is we shall lose little reputation first.
 After having passed, with as much prosperity as could be expected, throu' the career of public life, I have now reached the goal'of domestic enjoyment lin which state I assure you, l find your good wishes most acceptable to me. The family at Mount Vernon joins in the same Complim'ts & cordiality to you & yours with which I am-D'r Sir VT. most Affect. & Obedt Serv.,
 GEO. WASHINGTON.
 Jonathn Trumbull Junr. Esq.
 Jonathan Trumbull, jr., was the sec pnd son of Jonathan Trumbull, the orig inal Brother Jonathan" "iwho was gov ernor of Connecticut from 1769 to 17S3, when he resigned.

He was elected and re- elected governor of Connecticut from 119S until his death in 1909.
