kew, Mr., watson OF SEXTON ~ SN'
Liverpool, who has been engaged to des
liver a course of lectures in the Yale
theological seminary beginning next
September, is one of the most eloquent
preachers of England, and his coming
to Yale win doubtless prove very
drawing attraction. The Boston Her
aid remarks on the subject; 1t is an
nounced that Yale has invited Rev.
John Watson of Liverpool to deliver
the lectures in the Lyman Beecher
course before the Yale divinity school,
and the clergyman has accepted. When
it is said that Rev. John Watson ana
Ian MacLaren, the author of the Bon
ME Brier Bush" are the same person,
it win be understood that Yale has Sc
cured what may be called the COM
handing attraction of the season.

TO BUILD A HIGH TOWER.
| At the conference held between City
Attorney c. B. Matthewman and Vice
President John M. Hall it was practi-
cally agreed by Mr. Hall that the New
| York, New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road company shall erect very high
tower at the round-house at the Cedars
| in order to alleviate the smoke nuis-
ance.
The interview was a very pleasant
one, and Vice President Hall expressed
himself as being willing and DESTROYS
of doing anything reasonable which he
could to relieve the smoke trouble for
the people who live in the vicinity of
the round house
Mr.. Hall said that of course the rail-
road company was here to do business,
and that there is always some smoke in
a manufacturing city. He pointed out
the fact that great clouds of smoke
pour out of the chimneys of the plan
ing mills and at times envelope the
railroad company's buildings, and at
other times it blows to Wooster street
He said that in a manufacturing city
like New Haven there must be some
SCOT and disagreeable smoke. Mr. Hall
said that the company had expended
$1O0, 900 on each of it's round houses and
that they did not feel as though they
could move them elsewhere.
The building of a huge stack which
would carry the smoke up above the
tops of the houses was suggested and
it was thought that it would decrease
the nuisance very materially. 1t was
agreed also that it was impossible to
do away with the smoke altogether, as
there is bound to be more or less, but
it will help greatly. Mr.. Hall stated
that he would endeavor to have some
thing of this kind done, so that the
smoke would be carried over the roofs
of the houses in the locality.
