of the company is divided into 1854
shares, Of which Mr.. Ryan claims to
hold 200, leaving 11,184 shares out

committee reported 1,S40 shares belong

SHEEP KILLED BY EAGLES.

Representative Main of North Ston- ington, who secured the repeal of the law protecting eagles in this state, will find sympathizer in Berkshire, Mass, where the birds of prey are setting their teeth into everything they can lay their hands on,' even sheep. Lester B. Gum of Lanesboro has lost several sheep in the last month by the ravages of eagles. The birds have their nest upon the Taconic range and go down to Gunn's Grove by the lake to pick up fish from the lake. Recently MT. Gum discovered four eagles feasting on one of his sheep. He drove them off and discovered that the carcass of the sheep was still warm. This explained to MT. Gum the killing of seven of his flock, whose carcasses have been found from time to time partially destroyed. The eagles tear the skin from the sheep as landily as butcher. As there Is fine of $50 in Massachusetts for killing an eagle, Mir. Gum sought the advice of Game Warden Smith of Pittsfield regarding the shooting of birds of prey and also to learn If he could recover his loss from the state. Warden Smiths advice was to go ahead and shoot the eagles. 4Ss

FIRST FISHHOOK MACHINE.
T. D. L. Manville of Ansonia Operated

T. D. l.. Manville of Ansonia Operated
 it for Dr. Crosby.
 The sale of the stock of the American Fishhook company recently turned some of the minds of Ansonians to the past, and a Sentinel reporter learned that the first man to run. a machine for the manufacture of fishhooks was an Ansonian, T. D. L. Manville. Dr. Cros- by of New Haven, who died several years ago, was the inventor of the ma chine for their manufacture as previ- ous to that time they were made by hand. While experimenting upon the machine, and before 1t was completed he hired MT. Manville to work for him That was in 1S83-4, and for several months MT Manville who was then a young man, turned the heavy balance wheel that ran the machine, so that the doctor might watch and see what the trouble was that all parts did not work just right,
 After watching the machine a while the doctor would light fresh cigar, for he was an inveterate smoker, and go out for walk He did all his thinking while walking, and when he had the problem solved he would return to the shop and make such alterations as he thought would better it. At last he got 1t in a condition so that 1t would work satisfactorily and another machine was made, the power was applied and MT. Manville, who had helped him in his ex- periments, was the first man who work ed it. He worked for the company for couple of years and became thor oughly acquainted with the machine. The company was then known as the American Fishhook and Needle com pany.
 The first machine has been greatly improved upon since then. but the gen. eral principle is about the same MT Manvilie tells some interesting reminis- cences in connection with the work of perfecting the machine which revolu- tionized the industry
 The company does not manufacture needles at present, as it cannot compete successfully with the manufacturers on the other side of the Atlantic. Dr Cros- by was a successful inventor, and the 1fshhook machine was not the only inn provement that he left behind him as a memento of his long and useful life. Wallace & Sons in those days furnish ed wire for the manufacture of the hooks, and 1t was because of that that they became interested in the company and invested ill it's stock.-Ansonia Sentinel.

IMMENSN CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR
 TRAFFIC

Chicago, July 7.--Passenger traffic with the western roads the past week has been the heaviest since the worlds fair in 1893. This is due to the Chris tian Endeavor meet at San Francisco. The Rock Island has handled the larg- est in it's history--15,0 GOO passengers, or over 200 Pullman car loads, from Chicago alone. The Santa Fe has haul ed out over 175 cars. The Northwestern and St. Paul each had about the same. and the Burlington 200 car loads. They were taken at low rates, but not with out small profit.
 The extent to which the Christian Endeayor traffic is taxing the capacity of the continental lines has been shown by the almost total stoppage of freight business in many of the sec tions. The efforts. of traffic managers to handle the passenger movement are shown by dispatch from Salt Lake received in this city to-day from F. A. Wadleigh. general passenger agent of the Rio Grande Western. It was as fol- 1ows
 Between morning of July and mid night of July we handled and deliver ed to the Southern Pacific company at Ogden between 13,000 and t4000 Chris- tian Endeavor passengers. We have eleven trains on our line and in sight at this hour, which will swell the total to exceed 15,000. During this period we have not had wheel off track, and our trains have moved over our line with not to exceed more than two or three hours delay in any instance. We claim to have established the worlds single track record.''

A PIONEER HoMD IN CoNNEcTI-


 Soanty enough were the plenishings of even the wealthy manor-houses which the settlers had left, but really pathetic was the scarcity here. Not until well into the second half of the seventeenth century was furniture of any but the toughest sorts made in New England, and it is obviously i'm possible that much should have been imported in the tiny vessels then digni- fled by the name of ships. Their holds were filled with the literally indispen- sable articles of provisions, arms, am intuition, tools machinery, seeds and clothes. In 1644 Mrs. Lake sent to Eng land, to furnish the new home of her daughter Mrs. Gallup, for "a peare of Brasse Andirons. a bras kittle, grate Chestes. well made, 2 Arm Cheeres with fine rush bottums, Carven Caisse for Bottels wch my Cuzzen Thomas Cooke has of myne. a warmeing panne, a bigg iron Potte, 6 pewter plates, pewter Platters, 3 pewter Porringeres, smal Stewe Panne, peare of Brasse and a peare of Silver Candlestickes (goode plate), Drippe Panne, Bedsteade of Carven Oake (ye onne in ye wch sleapt in my Fathers House, with ye Valences an Curtaynes an Tapestry Coverlet belongeing, an ye wch my Sis ter Breadcale (this the name appears to bel hath in charge for me: 8 duzzen Nappeklns of fine Hollande, an two ta- ble cloathes of the saim.

 And this is all! Yet, for its time and place 1t must have been considered rather a liberal outfit. The inventory of Governor Winthrop of Massachu- setts, known as one of the wealthiest men among the earlier colonists, was almost as scanty. Many years after the ''old Gallup house" had been torn down the dining table, which had served the family for perhaps score of years, was preserved in an out-house, where my in- formant had seen it in his youth. It was simply what had once been the cover of large packingbo of smooth oak boards, supported on six carefully squared legs.

BLOCK ISLAND ExcURsIoN.

It will be interesting to our readers to know that an opportunity for a de- lightful rail and steamer excursion to Block Island by special train service to and from New London. and steamer Block Island" from that point. will be offered by the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad next We'd nesday, at the extremely low rate of $1.50.
 The number of tickets to be placed on sale will be strictly limited. to guard against overcrowding of train or boat.
 Those of our people who are unable to spend the time and money requisite for an extended vacation at the fnoun- tains or seashore will appreciate the arrangements of the railroad company under which, during the season. many day trips may be enjoyed at a small outlay, and will liberally patronize such as may be offered.

THE JULY HEAVENS.
Interesting Sights for Amateur Astron- omers-Position of the Planets-An- nllar Elcliose AZ Jr.,t

Interesting Sights for Amateur Astron-
 omers-Position of the Planets-An-
 nular Eclipse.
 Amateur astronomers who were on the watch Monday evening were inter- ested in the appearance of Mars, which was due on the 9th to pass the bright star Regulus, going less than one de- gree north of it. On, the 25th the same planet overtakes Jupiter, and VIII pc but seven degrees south of that planet when they are viewed together in the early morning. m
 Just now besides Mars, Saturn, Jupi- ter and Uranus are visible In the even ing sky. Saturn is moving westward among the stars, and can be most la vorably examined. On the 18th 1t be- gins to move eastward once more. It rises in the early afternoon and is in the south at sunset, being in the con Stellation Libra. fu&5
 All through the month Jupiter will be brilliant, low in the west each even ing. As 1t sets early there is but little opportunity of examining It's surface With telescope or of watching the movements of it's satellites. On the 12th, few minutes before o'clock, the third satellite will emerge from the planets shadow, On the 22d. few minutes after 8 o'clock, the first satel- lite will come out of Its temporary eclipse. Jupiter is moving slowly east ward, increasing its distance from Reg ulus.
 Uranus Is about two degrees south of Saturn and may be found by those who wish telescopic view of the planet i'll right ascension 15 hours 33 minutes, and declination s. IS degrees 55 min utes.
 Neptune is in the morning sky, mov- ing slowly eastward in Taurus. On the 2Sth It Is overtaken and passed by the more rapidly moving Venus. It rises on that date at 2:5S a. m. Mars is ir the west in the early evening. and is moving rapidly eastward in the con. stellation Leo.
 During July Mercury is too close tc the sun for. observation. It is in the morning sky until the 18th, when il passes behind the sun, and is in the evening sky after sunset the rest of the month. The most conspicuous planet this month is Venus, which rises in the
 
 sun. On the 17th it reaches its greatest distance from the sun. It is in the con stellation Taurus, west of the red stal Aldebarah. Were it December instead of July the perennial story that the Star of Bethlehem was now visible would perhaps be repeated
 The Moon runs low in the south or the 11th, two days before fun moon and high in the north on the 24th after the last quarter. At new moon on tn, 18th it passes directly between the earth and sun, causing the solal eclipse of that date.
 And by the way, this annular eclipse of the sun, which occurs on the 29th, is a partial eclipse in New England where it begins about $50 a. m. ant ends about 1f:10 a. m. At 10 o'clocl the greatest obscuring occurs; thu width of the segment Of the suns disl Ecut off is at that time four 7tenths of tn, suns radius. or one-fffth of it's diane ter. The loss of light will be hardly | noticeable.

JONATHAN TUTE's EPITAPH.

a.Lr Hurried to His Grave ip Mystic, Conn,
 in TIT by sInoc oculation.'' The following epitaph is copied from ia stone in an old butying ground in Mystic, Conn:
 Here lies, cut down like unripe fruit, A son of MT, Amos Tute, And Mrs. JeIniraa Tute, his wife Called Jonathan, of whose frail life The days all summed, how short the
 account, +..-e- Scarcely to fourteen years amount. Born on the twelfth of May was he, In seventeen hundred sixty three; To death he fell helpless prey, April the five and twentieth day. In seventeen hundred seventy-seven, Quitting this world, we hope, for heav-
 en-. But tho his spirits fled on high, This body mouldering here must lie; Behold the amazing alteration Effected by inoculation--- The means employed his life to save Hurried him headlong to the grave.
 The natural inference from this epi- taph is that young Tute was vaccin- ated to prevent his having the small pox. Then comes the question wheth- CT Jenner's method of inoculation had been introduced into this country as early as TIT Dr. Jenner's experiments with cowpox had not been completed as early as 1777. and his theory had not been accepted by English physicians. Who, then vaccinated Tute. if vaccina- ton is the process referred to in the epitaph?
