STILL ANOTHER BUG PEST.
A Peculiar Black Caterpillar Attacks
 Willimantic Trees.


 Willimantio Trees.
 A hitherto unobserved insect has ap- peared within the past ten days on and under the maple trees in Wiutmantic, which have been infested with the aph- ides whose ravages were described in the Day recently. This new insect when 1t first appears, looks much Ike a small black caterpillar. It apparently grows rapidly and 1t has not been dls- covered that 1t feeds on anything unless it be the sap which exudes from the maple leaves which have been eaten by the lice. When this caterpillar is full grown it Is from three-quarters to an inch long, dark brown or almost plack, with yellow dots along its sides. It IS fiat and about three-sixteenths of an inch across its back in its widest part Without a microscope examination It has the appearance of the dobson, well known to fishermen as a bait for black bass, except that it Is covered with fuzzy substance just prominent enough to be observed with the naked eye. The peculiar feature of this caterpll- lar Is Its method of transformation into aiAC NlIScd Deetl6 WlllCIl liACo oAA sANS trees and deposits the eggs from which next years crop of lice comes. When the caterpillar is fully grown 1t attaches it's tail end to whatever object it is on, l usually on perpendicular surface, but if on horizontal surface it is on the under side. It seems to hold to the sur face by suction and so strongly that an ordinary brush will not remove 1t. If 1t is touched it will squirm, but never lose it's hold and never moves of its own volition. Its body soon begins to con- tract and in a few days the skin be- comes shriveled and falls off, leaving a diminutive beetle still closely sticking to the spot. In few days this beetle has grown to about the shape of the po- tato bug, only little smaller The body or the covering to the wings Is white with small black dots in form similar to those of the potato bug. Il Is the province of these beetles to lay eggs, but as yet none of them have been caught at 1t.
 It may be added that the best scien- lists say there is little use in trying to exterminate the aphides on the trees An emulation of kerosene and soap suds is recommended by some, but the gene ra1 belief is that the pests must have their way and then make way for other kinds

DEATH OF ALPR ONSO THTLL,
Had Been Hi for Months-A Well Kuowr
 Merchant Tailor Passes Away.

Merchant Tailor Passes Away.
 The death of Alphonso Thill, which occurred yesterday morning at 8 o'clock, brings sadness to the hearts of the very many in our city who long had known him. An estimable citizen of artistic and cultivated tastes, quiet in manner, lover of books and a con- noisseur of paintings, has passed away, and joined the innumerable caravan. His age was sixty-seven. He died of catarrhal consumption and all that the best medical skill, change of scene and loving care could do for him were un- availing.
 The deceased was born in Cologne, Germany, in 1S30 He sailed for Am erica just before he attained his ma jority and New Haven had been his home for the greater part of his life. He had been a merchant tailor in this city for the last thirty-nine years. His last location in business was at 133 Temple street, where he had a hand- somely fitted and equipped store, occu- pying the remainder of the premises for his home. His family comprised only himself and the wife who survives him. He had no relatives in this country and built up unaided, a prosperous bust ness as a first class merchant tailor He had remarkably fastidious taste and would not do cheap work, and the name of "A. Thilp' on a coat stamped it with the hallmark of good style and correct taste.
 MT. Thill had a passion for the fine arts and was a close student of the subject. His collection of fine paint ings, articles of vertu, rare coins, an- tiques, china, etc., is a famous one and he knew the history of every antiquity of importance in this country, and could quickly refer to Colonial and Revolu- tionary relics. Art literature was at his tongues end. He would entertain an interested listener for hours telling of some curio.
 He loved the home circle and the companionship of chosen friends of kin
 dred tastes and the companionship of his faithful wife and his books and treasures were his chief delight. On February 1st his health, which had been impaired for some months dictated change of climate and with l his wife went south to Asheville. N l C., remaining until April, but the n1al- ady was past help and he steadily grew | weaker He bore hts sufferings with 1 great patience.
 | Dr. and Mrs. Mcknight Of Hartford 1 a nephew and niece of Mrs Thili, and
 trained nurse have been in constant attendance on the sick man for the past
 week.

FLEEING FOR SAFETY.

The people had been awakened by the roar of the torrent rattling down the ravine, and realizing intuitively what 1t meant, rushed from their beds for safety. There was no time to lose in dressing or saving valuables, for the flood was coming with more than a race horses speed.
 Some of them got to the higher ground in safety Many did not. One family, Perry by name, in their wild flight left their baby behind. Most of the killed were in the workmen's board ing houses.
 A visit to the reservoir shows that the overflow began about seventy-five feet from the gatehouse and washed out the south side of the bank for a distance of seventyfive feet. That weakened the wall so that it started toward the north end of the gatehouse overflow and gradually weakened the bank and the retaining wall A lot of immense boulders were carried down the stream half a mile throgh the gap in the lower reservoir. The wave was about fifteen feet high, as shown by traces along its passage. When 1t reached a point about 700 feet above the buildings it had spread out until it was about 200 feet wide and ten feet deep, moving with resistless force. It tore out by the roots trees that were from one to two feet in diameter. A curios- ity of the flood is seen in the multitude of little fish left in the sink holes along the course taken by the water.
 Engineer John Conroy who lost his wife and two children, says that they were in the building when the flood | came. They were on a knoll on the 1 edge of the flood. He told his wife to stay there with the children until he ! went back 70 the building. but she at-
