SOMETHING ABOUT THE TROW
 BRIDGES.

Mrs. Robert Moore, who resides in the southwest part of Goshen, has for some years had the charge of the interior Of the fine residence and furniture of the Hon. Thomas R. Trowbr'dge of Litch- field Her duties included the prepar- ing of their residence for the arrival of the family from their city home in New Haven. The parties came un- expectedly, startling Mrs. Moore by loud ring at the door. The old lauy was standing on the front stairs near the bottom, and turning suddenly she fell cutting her head and otherwise in- turing her. A physician was calleo' but it was not discovered untll soiiie days later that her shoulder was dls- located. She Is now attending to pus- mess as usual, visiting htchHelo two or three times a week with fish, eggs and broiler chickens for her city cus- toners. Mir Trowbridge is member of the celebarted shlppiI4S firm or II. Trowbridge Sons, New Haven. Inns concern has been the owners Of large number of schooners or vessels plying between New Haven and the various West India Islands. Fifty years ago these vessels took large number or mules, many droves of which passed through this section, to be shipped. Many of our older people remember seeing them. This was in the days when mules furnished the power to ry,t,, plantations, and thousand of these an- imals were worn out every year in that service. Mules commanded high prices, and there was profit In rearing them, but the Ansonia Yankee built steam mills, and gradually the system of making sugar and molasses was changed, so that the small mills III the hands of every man who raises cahe' the Connecticut mill, covering cars III shipment, and weighing forty tons, to be driven by steam with the capacity to crush the cane of half township. drove out the mules, as has the trolley and the third rail driven out their mo- ble brother, the horse. Many of your Goshen readers will remember this firm as having for more than half a century bought large portion of the cheese made here, they having intro duced Goshen cheese on the islands. A peculiarity of this firm was formerly seen by visit to Its office on Long Wharf, New Haven, where in very modest quarters were found old men, the middle-aged and the youth, three or more generations, each with his desk and his department of business, the descendants of Henry Trowbridge. Looking at the commercial report we find what is seldom seen, the standing of this house rated A l, credit unlimi- ted.-West Goshen Correspondence of the Waterbury American.

INSURANCE INTERESTS

George R, Hubbard's Work in the Con-
 necticut Department-Diffic in
 Filling His Place.
 Insurance Commissioner Betts will find good deal of difficulty in filling the place in the insurance department made vacant by the death of George R. Hubbard, who passed away at the Hartford hospital, July 5, MT. Hub bard was exceptionally equipped for the work In the department which was placed In his charge, He understood human nature thoroughly and was the possessor of much detective insight. Commissioner Betts was familiar with MT. Hubbard's traits of character long before he appointed him to the special field that was assigned him in the de- partment, and had no doubt of his per- sonal fidelity. When the Seeley case in New Britain was first worked up, the commissioner met with good many obstacles, One day, when engaged in his business office in New Haven, he in- quired of MT. Hubbard if he could do some detective work. Mr. Hubbard ,e- piled that work of that kind was out of his line, but that he would do the best he could with the assignment. The out line facts were placed at MT. Hubbard s disposal, and by the end of the week he brought the commissioner all that he needed in effectively disposing of the in- surance offender. During the last year or so of Mr. Hubbard's work he found some three hundred men in the state who were carrying on insurance with out the legal license. The license fees in these cases amounted to six hun dred dollars. Mir. Hubbard was abso- lutely loyal to his chief. On one occa- sion he was detailed to work up the Solvency of a company that desired tc gath admission to Connecticut. The question of the company's admission tc several other states was to be decided by the action of the Connecticut de. partment. Commissioner Betts wal not, however aware of this fact at the time. The work of Mr., Hubbard led tc the rejection of the company's applica- ton. Afterwards 1t came to thu knowledge of Commissioner Betts tha Pthe company had offered MT. Hubbard one thousand dollars to report in itt favor. The offer was spurned by tht Connecticut agent. The story tha came to the commissioner concerning MT. Hubbard's integrity was thorough. ly authenticated. MT. Hubbard was widely known in the state. Years agt he was the travelling representative o1 the firm of Bradley & Hubbard ol Meriden, and was especially efficien, in working up the business of tha' house. MT. Hubbard was at one time in the employ of Mir. Betts in his New Haven business, and was appointed by him while engaged in that line. He was fifty-four years of age. Commis. sioner Betts has not. yet decided whether he will conflne the work of Mir Hubbard to the present corps of the of flee or make a new ppointment.-H ford Times.

 San Francisco July 22.-The steam ship Excelsior leaves for Alaska on July 26. When she returns she will bring between s5,000,000 and S6oOO,OoO in gold dust. This amount has been consigned to the Wells-Fargo Express company, as was learned yesterday through advices. received from St. Michael's.
 This sum represents the clean-up of the miners who remain on the Yukon instead of returning home. None Of It has been counted in with the fortunes recently brought to this country by suc- cessful miners. The Excelsior is eX- pected to return here about September 5, and the present excitement is mild compared with the craze which will fol- low the arrival of all this gold.
 By the steamship Umatilla, which ar- rived here yesterday from Puget Sound ports. came about s2OO.o0o worth of Alaska gold. Most of this was from Seattle and was consigned to the Wells Fargo company.
 Returning miners declare that start ling discoveries of gold may shortly be looked for In Alaska in territory which belongs unquestionably to the United States. report Is received from St Michaels of two very recent discoveries below Forty Mile, in Alaska territory Many miners are going to these places in preference to the Klondike, These two discoveries were made or American and Minook Creeks. It il believed that since the last news wa. received from these points much great CT developments have been made. In formation may yet be received iron there which will cause, great portfo, of the rush northward to be diverted tt American rather than to British terri tory

WARY MRS. MARY LEASE.

Disposes of Her Furniture so That a
 Mortgage Company Can't Get Hold
 of it.
 Wichita, Kan, July 22-The Jarvis Conklin Mortgage company renewed its fight against Mrs. Mary E. Lease, the populist orator, to-day, by filing new proceedings in aid of execution in the probate court This time the exe- cution was against, both Charles and Mary E. Lease but Sheriff Cones found that Mrs. Lease was out of the courts Jurisdiction, being in Iowa on lecture tour.
 Mrs Lease has disposed of her piano and sold or given away every stick of furniture except a couple of old bed- steads, good only for kindling wood. The family uses soap boxes instead of chairs.
 In making his return on the execution Sheriff Cones said: "The only property Mrs. Lease has in Wichita that we might sell is MT. Lease and nobody will want to buy him."
 Before leaving on her trip Mrs. Lease told her friends that the family would soon occupy furnished apartments down stairs. She denied that she was going to move to New York. A week ago the Jarvis -Conklin company got out attachment papers on the house hold property of the Leases. The pa pers failed to include the name of Mir Lease and the judge threw the case out of court. In the meantime, while the mortgage company was preparing the papers filed to-day, Mrs. Lease has been actively disposing of the house hold goods The house itself had been sold previously to satisfy a mortgage.

POLO AGAIN.
A New League to be Formed and the
 Old Game Revived.

4 New League to be Formed and the
 Old Game Revived.
 The Bridgeport Standard says Polo will probably be revived in this city this
 fall The feeling in all the old league
 cities Is favorable to it's revival. Man.
 ager Harris. since the big crowd at tended the exhibition game here last spring, has been quietly at work, and If the league is formed there will doubtless be team in 1t representing this city. The Meriden Record contained the following In reference to the project: Tt is not unlikely that a Connecticut polo league vii be organized for the coming winter. The efficient managers of the Meriden Baseball club, John c. Chapman and A. R. Penney, have be- come interested In Meriden, think well of the city and it's people, and if the proposed league Is formed these two gentlemen will be at the head of the Meriden club.
 "The interest in polo has declined somewhat in this city during the last l few years, as 1t also has in the other cities of the state, but with good man. agement and good teams there is no reason to believe that 1t should not be ] revived The fact that the local club would be under the management of the baseball managers assures the people of clean and straight playing, and a | strong team. While the local gente- men have not decided to do anything 1 as yet in the matter, they will look ! about and see what the chances for a state league are.
 "A four club league is talked of, to include Meriden, Bridgeport, New Ha- ven and Hartford-all good polo towns polo cranks can appreciate some lively sport These four towns are all located in a line on the Consolidated railroad 1 and the travelling expenses would be | very light compared to what they are ! in the present baseball league, and the cranks would witness the games out of | the city at nominal cost Meriden's old rival Waterbury, was named for a
 place in the league, and If the railroad 1 between here and the Brass City was
 running 1t might be possible that she would be in the league, but under the 1 present COHuilloiS IL Would pc lncon- venient, to say the least, for the pro- | posed Hartford and Meriden clubs to l play there and get back the same night.
 "The plan of having polo league is ! thought well of by the old time cranks and an effort will be made to organize I one. providing the outlook is good, and l the proper management can be se- cured in. the different towns. George D. Bone, the second baseman of the local I baseball club, is one of the pest polo | players in New Engand. It is said he has signed for this winter, but would willingly join Jack Chapman's team. The old rink on Hanover street, which
 has been the scene of many a lively
 polo game, could be renovated and re- paired, and would again ring with the | shouts of the cranks."

NEGRO LYNcnED IN GEORGIA.
Mob Takes Him from Train and Strings
 Him Up to a Tree.

Him Up to & Tree.
 Griffin, Ga, July 22.-Oscar Williams, a negro, was lynched this morning for an assault upon six-year-old white girl on July 10. Williams was taken from the Central train, which reaches here at 8:15 o'clock from Macon, where he had been confined since his arrest for safe-keeping. On account of ru- nors that mob was gathering to take the negro from the Macon Jail it was deemed advisable to remove him again. The prisoner was being taken to At lanta when the lynching occurred
 The mob was composed of about 1000 men. There was no attempt at dis guise. The lynchers boarded the train, and taking the negro away from the deputies who guarded him, marched down Broad street for 8 mile to a point about 200 yards outside of the city Him. it's where the wretch was hanged to a lamppost and his body perforated with bullets.
 The men were all armed. A search was made on all the cars, the lynchers making two trips the length of the train before Williams was discovered Then some one outside discovered him in the lavatory. He cried, Here he is, ,' and the lynchers made a rush. The deputies stood guard at the door of the closet They attempted to convince the mob that their prisoner was not the man wanted. They were promptly st. fenced, however, and Williams was taken in hand,
 When the mob halted beyond the city limits Williams was asked If he wanted to pray. He was too frightened to an- swer. He was then asked if he was guilty of the crime charged against him and he answered Yes The moose was then fitted around his neck and the other end thrown over lamp- post. As Williams was drawn into the air a fusilade of shots were poured into the body.
 The mob then began to pile wood about the body with the intention of burning it. The militia is on the way here.

MAMMOTH YOKE OF OXEN
Said to be the Biggest in tht
 World.

World.
 The greatest yoke of cattle it is said, ever seen in the country is owned by J. D. Avery in Buckland, Mass. They are named Joe and Jerry Their age Is eight years and they measure ten feet in g1rth. They stand seventeen hands high and their measurement from tip to tip Is fifteen feet eleven inches. There Is not difference of ten pounds in weight between them, and the two to- gether tip the scales at 7,30O pounds. They hold the worlds record for one pull. having drawn 11,O61 pounds of
 stone, loaded on dray, on a level just eight feet in one draw. They are mod els of symmetry in build, are extremely kind and doeile and beautifully colored. The best of care is devoted to them, one
 man spending several hours every day in grooming and cleaning them. They
 have been on exhibition at all of the principal agricultural fairs in the coun- try.
 In speaking of his handsome yoke of oxen MT. Avery said: ''The oxen have not by any means reached their limit; they have gained in weight some seven
 hundred pounds the past year, and are | capable of carrying another thousand pounds. Unlike other large cattle, their l flesh is distributed very evenly, which adds very much to their looks, and they stand on their limbs as straight as a pair of calves.
 They are remarkably intelligent and | well trained. They are very active and l can easily walk mile in twenty min | utes. They are colored, like all pure Holsteins, black and white Their coats
 are as fine and as glossy as a thorough | bred racers. They are still worked | moderately when at home Their yoke
 was made to order, and probably Is the
 largest yoke ever worn by any team.
 It Is seven feet in length and weighs | two hundred pounds.
 l ''Their crowning glory Is their magni
 ficent set of highly polished horns. For
 size, quality, mating and beauty com- l bined their equal does not exist in the
 world. It may be of interest to know that their feed consists of eight to
 twelve quarts of corn and oats ground | together, two quarts of flax meal and from six to eight quarts of bran each day, with an occasional change, to suit l their appetites.'

BIG TREES.
MT. II. L. Reade Calls Upon the Boys tt
 Aid Him in Locating Them

MT. H. l.. Reade Calls Upon the Bows to
 Aid Him in Locating Them.
 MT. H. L. Reade of Jewett City sug- gests the following interesting and in structive plan to the boy readers of the Norwich Bulletin:
 I want to tell the boy readers of the Bulletin and Courier of two big trees. one on the farm of James B. Palmer of Lisbon and the other in my own door, yard.
 The tree on Mir. Palmers land is a black oak, and measures in circumfer- ence one foot from the ground 221s feet: five feet from the ground 1t measures in circumference 14A feet, and say, twelve feet from the ground, where the trunk parts into two limbs, 1t muct be nearer IS feet round than IA.
 I think, the tree must be more than 800 years old, perhaps much more. My father, who would be 112 years old were he living, has often said to me that it's immense size attracted his attention when boy-lnore than one hundred years ago. It certainly carries us back to the discovery of America by Colum- bus, If not two or three centuries back of that.
 The other tree is of an entirely diff ferent character. The trunk up to the limbs Is not over an average of 21s feet in diameter. but it's wonder is the space which it covers. The tree is a weeping elm, and where the branches nearly touch the ground on one side, to where they touch on the other on one diame- ter. it is 69 feet; on another diameter. crossing the first at right angles if is ST feet, covering $500 feet and more of space. With the sun directly overhead, twenty-five hundred men could stand in its shade.
 I wish the boys who read this, if they know of any trees larger or approxi- mately as large as these, would meas ure them. and, with their specific name and location, send the same to the writ CT. Let US find out who has the biggest tree in this region, and, with the con- sent of the editor, we will have their story told in days to come
