The local oystermen who own the lit
tie oyster farms in the Quinnipiac river
below the Grand avenue bridge, hope
the New Haven Water company will
not buy these plots for laying the Sal
tonstall mains. The water company
has been making borings to ascertain
how deep it will be necessary to lay
the mains, and it looks as if the COM
pany was intending to buy. The oys-
termen hold their little farms at pref
ty high figure.
The schooner Edwin M. Reed, which
has been rebuilt at New London, was
launched in Fair Haven in 1874. When
the vessel was built the hull was not
sailed and this is the reason that it
rolled so badly. The contractor failed
before the vessel was completed, and
Henry Sutton finished the construction.
She was named for the late e. NJ.
Reed, for many years vice president
OF the Consolidated road; has been a

Washington, March 14.-Secretary of
Agriculture Morton returned this morn
ing from Asheville, N. c., where he has
been spending a week or so investigat-
ing Biltmore, the famous estate of
George Vanderbilt, and he told his col
leagues at the cabinet meeting to-day
that there is nothing in the world, own
ed by sovereign or subject, that will
compare with it, either as a residence
or as an object lesson in the agricultu-
raj arts.
1T is grand idea" said Mr.. Morton
to-day, that young Mr.. Vanderbilt is
trying to carry out. 1t is unique, and
none but man of his enormous wealth
could undertake it. Few kings have
either funds or the good of their people
at heart sufficient to conceive and carry
out what Mr.. Vanderbilt has success
fully demonstrated. 1 do not know
how much money he has spent there,
nor how much more he intends to in
vest, but it is one of the grandest I'M
dertakings that Individual enterprise
ever attempted, and understand that
it is the owners intention to leave it as
a legacy to the public when he can no
longer enjoy it himself.
"As an exhibition of landscape gar
dening it is without an equal. Fred
erick Law Olmsted has had charge of
that branch of the work, and the late
Richard M. Hunt was the architect of
all the buildings, which, for their sew
eral uses, surpass any that exist on the
earth. There are no palaces in Europe
that can equal Mr.. Vanderbilt's for ele-
gance, comfort and convenience, and
he is gathering there a collection of
works of art that would make it ia
nous if it had no other attraction. His
stables, his barns his dairies, his prop
agating houses, his memories and 9th
er features of his establishment are all
on the same grand scale. He has I'M
dertaken to furnish the highest posi-
Bile example of the science of food cul-
ture in every one of its branches"

The Rig Rain Fall Causes Floods on the
Plains.

Plains.
Yesterdays rain and the melting
snow converted some portions OF the
plains into good sized lakes. The worst
state o. affairs exist on Cherry street,
north of Hall avenue, where the street
is completely flooded from up near the
Housatonic brass shop nearly down to
Hall avenue, the roadway is covered
with water in places two feet deep, and
the sidewalks are covered by several
inches and impossible to pedestrians
without rubber boots. In front Of Mrs.
Hammarth's house the water is six
inches over the sidewalk and running
in torrent down through her garden
into the gully below, and badly wash
ing out the garden. The cellar is filled
with water, and other places on the
street will be considerably damaged.
H. F. Hall is the direct cause of all
the trouble and damage done by the
water, which is caused by the filling-in
by Hall of the gully and sluiceway that
has for over 200 years been the natural
drain for the overflow of the entire
north plains. The gully in question be-
gins at Cherry street and ends at the
lake and carrier away, without dam
age to any one, all the surface water
which comes into it from the drains
under the railroad and along the sides
of the street. A sort time ago Hall
carried quantity of dirt and filed up
the drain under the bridge and banked
up on the west side near the street
line, knowing at the time, as he openly

they will not or cannot be presented to the
treasury for payment"
Senator Burrows is not willing to rest
his reputation complacently upon the no
ton that little more revenue Is all the
uation needs to perfect its financial sys-
em. He recognizes the greenback danger
and will not be likely to hold his candle
under the bushel of party tradition much
longer. He says, in speaking in detail OF
The financial situation:
"While q lack Of revenue contributes
largely 10 our financial disorder, am not
entirely clear that IL is alone responsible
for IT, The act OF 1890, continued In
operation for three years, injected into our
circulation $l5OO00. coo OF silver, repre-
sented by the treasury notes, while the re-
servs remained unaugmented.
"The tendency of this was TO alarm tho
business public and create raid on the
treasury gold. Nearly $500, 100000 of de-
mand notes were thus put in circulation,
with "a redemption basis OF but $l00O00,-
gO0. and whether AN increase of our row.
enue alone would solve the problem !
have some doubt. TO increase the reserve
would be way out of the difficulty. but
would require the further use of bonds,
which is hostile TO the public judgment at
this time.
Unless the United States notes and the
treasury notes can be held in the treasury
after redemption, and the expenses paid
with other currency, do not see how n re-
currence of the raids on the treasury can
be avoided.
while 1t Is true that up TO 1892 the do.
mand for gold in exchange for greenbacks
was not large 1t must be remembered TINT
we then entered upon changed tariff
policy, and that the silver purchases of the
law of 1890 were beginning to crowd upon
the treasury.
Tho government Of the United States
Is the only institution that I know of that
has out an amount OF demand notes that
must be paid In gold. Banking institu-
tons may pay legal tender. but the treasuy
Is pledged to gold payments, while IL has
not dollar of distinctively gold revenue"
