The New London Northern
To BE Practically PRralleled Between
WIlIimantIc and New London.

The Norwich Il Worcester railroad is
to be developed as through line for traffic
between New York, Boston, Worcester
and northern New England.
These plans include the improvement of
plant and equipment, and the announced
extension Of the Allyn's Point branch to
Groton with connections with New Lonr
don over the Thames bridge. The lattes
will have very important sequels. 1t given
the whole New Haven railroad system an
outlet Of its own to the Sound in the re-
gion of some - miles east and west be-
tween the Connecticut river and Proyi-
dence, where none has existed heretofore
1t saves to the New Haven company, or
more strictly speaking, TO the New Eng
land, as lessee, some so, 600 a year, which
has been paid to the New London North
ern for traffic over the Is miles between
Norwich and New London, and for wharf
privileges. 1t opens new route to the
summer shore resorts Of eastern Connect
cut and western Rhode Island, and it gives
new opportunities for wharfage facilities at
Grafton or New London, which may be
very valuable, especially after the Stoning-
ton boat line is discontinued.
The Norwich ~ Worcester is regarded as
commercially the best route for railroad
traffic between New \ ork and northern
New England, with which it has connec-
ton at Worcester by way of the Boston Il
Maine and Fitchburg systems. BY link
only six miles long between Baltic and
Jewett City, the New England TO Will
mantle and beyond can be connected with
the Norwich X Worcester. The New
London Northern will then in effect be
paraleled between Willimantic and New
London, A distance of some so miles. By
way of the New England the extended
Norwich a Worcester also offers relief in
case Of any pressure Of freight traffic be-
tween New London and Providence over a
distance about the same as that between
the two cities by the main line. Finally,
it offers route between Worcester and
New York of about the same distance as
that by the Boston ~ Albany with which
it will, to some degree, compete. 1t is pre-
dicted that very important readjustment of
railroad business between New England
and New York city will follow as soon as
the projected change is made. A signifi-
cant feature of the plan is that it will in
crease the earnings of the New England.

The most intense interest existed as TO
what course the President would adopt.
Mr. Cleveland intrusted his secret orders
to Mr. Willis, and they were to the effect
that Queen Liliuokalani should be rein
stated in event of her granting immunity
to all political offenders. This she declined
to do. Mr.. Willis was held in high es-

Thirteen fishermen persisted in Green
Bay, Michigan, Friday night as a result of
the breaking up of ice in the afternoon
The men We're on the ice tending their
nets when the break occurred, but were so
far away from the crack that by the time
the alarm had been given the crack was so
wide they could not escape to the shore
A fierce wind carried the block of ice rap
idly out into Lake Michigan, where the
men were overcome by the zero tempera-
ture and the SQUALLS of snow.

A Million Dollar GIFT to Hospital.

j. Pierpont Morgan has offered 20 give
$1,000, 900 to the New York lying-in hospi-
tai. Mr.. Morgans letter said in substance
that he believed a suitable building for the
use of the hospital should be erected on
the property now owned by it, and that he
had had plans prepared for such building,
and was prepared to erect the same at his
own expense, the building to cost about
100000. The only condition attached
to the proposed gift is that Mr.. Morgan
shall have assurances that the hospital
will have funds enough to continue its
work after the building is completed. The
gift was promptly accepted by the board,
which is confident that it can satisfy the
donor as to the one condition. The board
expects the new building will be begun at
once, and when completed it will be one of
the finest hospitals of its kind in the world.

Five Children Perish in Flames.

Five children were burned to death in
the fire which destroyed Buckner's orphan
home at Dallas, Texas, Friday night.

SIX Miles of XIX,

Wyoming's game warden is credited with
the statement that the number of elk win
tering in the Jackson's Hole country is
greater than for many previous years. A
conservative estimate fixes the number at
$4,000. Every morning thousands are
seen travelling from the great swamps
along the Snake river to the Gros Ventre
hills. The warden says: 81 recently
gazed upon sight which far surpassed
anything had ever seen, and it utterly
astonished and amazed me. For a dis
lance of six miles a herd of elk was
stretched out. The animals had made a
trail through the snow which was packed
as hard as hinted ice. | know there were
10, 600 head of elk in that herd"

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
How MaceO was Killed.

The story Told by the Cuban Colonel
whose Men Rescued the Dead Leaders
Body.
A letter has been received by Cuban
sympathizers at Jacksonville, Fla, from
Lieutenant Colonel Andre Hernandez, now
in command of the department of the Gu
ban army encamped near Havana, which
claims to give "the true account of Ma
coos death and his subsequent burial. In
its main portion this letter says: at was
on Dec. that we suffered great msfor-
tune in the tragic death (by ambush) of
our leader, Maceo. We were encamped
near the fight that day, and heard the firing
Maceo came across the trocha, unknown
to us, with but 40 men. More than 1900
Spaniards, who had been informed OF his
trip, ambushed him. He rode into it, and
was shot at the first fire. When we
reached the scene of the slaughter it was
mostly over. and then we were told that
Maceo was dead, and that the enemy had
his body tied to horses tail and were
taking it Off Our men were perfectly
frantic over the report and begged to be led
against the Spaniards. We fought to kill (;
only bent on avenging Maceo. think we
killed more than 200 of the enemy; and,
what is more, we had the consolation of
recovering the body of our dead leader.
Our little force suffered terribly, but we
were consoled by the fact that our brave
brothers gave up their lives in good
cause. We buried the body in a secret and
secure place. Only myself and a few Sc
lected men and officers know the location.
In due time it will be marked If known
now, the murderous Spanards would try
to get it, and parade it as showing their
great triumph"
This is the most circumstantial account
of Maceo's death that has been printed. If
it comes from the source which is claimed
for it it should settle the facts in the case.
