- The most important feature Of Bishop
Nelson's annual address to the Episcopal
Diocesan Convention of Georgia at Macon
on Monday was tie position taken by him
on the question of marriage after divorce.
He said that he took the ground that d.
vorced people should not be married again
in the Episcopal Church; that the clergy
had a right to refuse to perform the
ceremony, and that he would not sanction
any such marriage in his diocese.
= At Kew, at the meteorological OBJ
servatory. a watch Is tested in every posi-
ton, and it's rate measured and recorded
by the hour. It is hung upside down,
hung from each side, placed dial down
and back down, and at any number of
angles, and to finish it is baked in an
oven and frozen in a pail of ice. When it
is considered that $4,000 vibrations an
hour occur in a watch, and it must not
vary a second a Week, it is easy to see
why no watch has ever been perfect.
Some dentists speak of the rooms in
which they receive their patients as "par.
lors." But they ought to call them
"drawing-rooms."
Prof. Falb, of Vienna, predicts that
on November Is, 1899. the earth will COL

Gated by poisonous gases.

- The black pacing stallion. Joe Patch
eu, was sold in Chicago last Tuesday for
$751; 900.
= On the plantation of Mr.. Davo Walker
in CASTOR county, n. c there is a pine
stump, from which the upper part of the
tree was cut more than forty years ago,
and which is still alive. The top Of the
stump appears to be dead enough; but
upon cutting into the bark, the evidences
of life are equal to those found in a vigor-
Gus tree. Mr. Walker does not under.
stand the matter, and would be glad to
have somebody to give scientific ex-
plauation. So far as the stated facts are
concerned, he can establish them without
question.
- Reporting the arrivals of sheep in
Chicago and other Western markets the
American Wool and Cotton r Exporter
says: "Texas sheep are coming in Won
derfully good condition. There have
been several consignments here lately
weighing from 100 to 1l3 pounds. These
sheep are Off grass in Texas and the fact
of their raising such sheep down there to
come directly on the market without
feeding any grain is rather discouraging
to the man who is raising sheep on high
priced land, and granting them for three
or four months before putting them on
sale. Should this condition Of affairs
exist every year it would make it almost
impossible for fed sheep to be marketed
at a profit at this season." There is no
reason why South Carolina should not
raise sheep to as good advantage as Texas.
They require no more care and grain
feeding here than there.

after LnlS was lately proved ID an uQ-
expected manner. Part Of the cave
mill was formerly used as a brandy
still. and the refuse was thrown down
the ravinc into the Hidden River.
This same refuse was found afew days
later in the water in another cave
about a mile away, and again emerged
above ground in a stream three miles
away, showing hat all had some sub
%terranean connection.
The first point mentioned is called
dead Mans Cave" and has a story.
About 80 years ago mar was sentenc-
ed to be hung for murder in the
County Jail at this place. No one
doubted his guilt, but the culprit
forward to the execution with
fear and trembling and tried to bride
the j~ailer to get him some whiskey to
drown his trouble. A local physician
heard of it, and after a conference
with several other doctors made a bar
gain with the sentenced man, by
the latter sold his body to the
doctors after life was extinct in ex-
change for a quart Of the best Ken
lucky wbiskey. The terms were
agreed to, the whiskey was struggled
in to the prisoner and he died drunk,
and therefore supposedly happy. Af-
ter dis death the doctors claimed the
body and prepared to dissect itfor the
benefit Of science, but their plans

that they were forced to conceal their

to "Dead Man Cave, where they dis

BOARD OF SELECTIEN.
City Must Give Notice of Hearings on
 County Home Commitments.

County Home commitments.
 The general statutes relating to the
 commitment of children to county
 homes require the authorities in
 charge of the children to notify the selectmen of the town before the exam
 ination for commitment proceedings Is
 instituted so that the board may be
 represented. This provision was made
 in order that the towns should not be
 made to take care of paupers.
 It transpired at hearing on the sub-
 ject before the judiciary committee that
 the city of New Haven and the author ities of the Associated Charities had
 failed to comply with the provision of
 the act
 Town Counsel Goodhart last evening called the attention of the board to the
 matter and suggested that the board vote to instruct the clerk to communi-
 cate with the city attorney and request him to notify the board of the hearings
 on the commitments. The board voted in accordance with the suggestion of the town counsel.
 The board listened to an account of the hearing before the roads and bridges committee on the Kimberly avenue bridge over West river. The petitioners, the town of Orange, want
 the bill giving the power to the towns of New Haven and Orange to build a drawbridge amended so that there can
 be constructed stationary bridge.
 The town counsel suggested that the ! matter would probably be hotly con- tested in the general assembly. The board voted to allow F. w. Orr,
 sealer of weights anG measures, $100 for
 doing the work in the Thirteenth, Four teenth and Fifteenth wards. Orr asked for $175
 The petition of James D. DeWell, Samuel F. Merwin, George w. Curtiss and about sixty others asking that the board call a special town meeting for the purpose of voting upon the matter of transferring the old town farm fund to the use of the parks was referred to the town counsel to look into the pro- | visions of the act relating to the same. Health Officer Wright appeared be- l fore the board with request that the town take action on the alleged nui- sance caused by the Fstagnant water near Forsyth's dye works at the corner of Mechanic and State streets. He was | informed that as the nuisance was wholly in the city limits the board had no jur- isdiction in the matter.

WILL NOT RoW AT NEW LONDON.
Cornell Prefers Poughkeepsie, but Will
 Accept Saratoga.


 Ithaca, N. T., April 1S.-In an inter- view to-day Professor B. I. Wheeler, navy advisory member of the athletic counsel, said:
 Cornell will not row at New London. Our first choice as to the course had been Poughkeepsie, and we had hoped terms would be offered us there which would have made regattas on the Hud- son possible. Poughkeepsle has offered merely to police, provide stakeboats and houses for storage of boats. Saratoga is willing to make all necessary provis- ion for the crews. If Poughleepsie fails us we will turn to Saratoga rather than New London, notwithstanding the lat ter's generous offer"
 Manager Shiras of the Cornell Ath- letic association says, relative to the University of California's request to en- ter the ornell-Pennsylvania meet, May 15:
 Cornell will keep this meet dual. We may, however, meet California apart from Pennsylvania"

MAYOR ELECTS HIM,
W. R. KirlSwood, Dark Horse, Chosen
 Sanitary Inspector.


 w. R. Kirkwood of 152 Norton street was chosen sanitary inspector Of the board of health yesterday afternoon, the mayor dissolving the tie on the 257th ballot. This was the third meeting at which the board had tried to choose the successor of Lewis Mix, who resigned some weeks since Twenty-six candi- dates appeared before the board on the night of the first meeting when a civil service examination was held. Several of the candidates received votes when the balloting began, but the members in a short time confined themselves to four Messrs. Munter, Smith, Jones and Sanford, and more than 100 ballots were taken without result.
 At the special meeting held last week there was another unsuccessful attempt at an election made. When the board arose at midnight 150 ballots had been cast and the contest seemed to be be- tween Jones and Sanford.
 Yesterday another candidate enter ed the field. The successful man on the seventh ballot was tied with Sanford the vote standing to 3, all the mem bers being present. Mayor Farnsworth at this juncture announced that the charter gave him the right to make a selection in cases of this kind, and he immediately dissolved the tie in favor of Kirkwood.

BRYAN ON JEFFERSON.
Speaks at a Banquet in Honor of the Mon-
 tecello Sage's Birthday.

tecello Sage's Birthday.
 Washington, April 13.-The one hun dred and fifty-fourth anniversary of Jefferson's birthday was celebrated to- night at the Metropolitan hotel by subscription dinner given under the auspices of the National Association of Democratic Clubs. The first celebra- tion of the anniversary of Jefferson's birthday occurred at the same hostelry, then known as the Indian Queen. Pres ident Jackson was the guest of honor, and the occasion was made memorable by the presence of Vice President John c. Calhoun and others leaders of that day.
 William J. Bryan was the guest or honor tonight Senators, representa- tives and other conspicuous in the councils of the democratic party were present, many of them from a dis tance.
 MT. Bryan, in closing his speech, said:
 There is much in recent events to encourage the followers of Thomas Jefferson. The spring elections indi cate growing sentiment along the lines of the Chicago platform. In fact the elections which have taken place show so great a gain that the repub- lican party may now be considered a minority party It has but one hope of escape from the wrath to come and that is to secure bimetallism by inter- national agreement before the people of the nation have another opportunity to speak at the polls.
 While we who believe in independ- ent bimetallism generally regard an in- ternational agreement as neither neces- sary nor possible we may we'll hope for success to any one who may make the attempt to secure further assist ance. If our opponents succeed in opening the hints of other nations as well as their own hints, we shall re- joice because the condition of the peo- pie will be improved and they will be able to proceed with other remedial legislation. If, however, the republican party after pledging itself to secure in- ternational bimetallism finds it impos- sible to fulfill that pledge its express preference for double standard will rise up to condemn 1t if 1t attempts to continue longer any attempts of a gold standard"

PRIZE FIGHTERS ARB ESTED.
Howard Avenue Officers Capture Ten AL
 legged Offenders.


 Last Thursday Eugene Leary and John Sullivan, both well known char acters in the Mohawk lot district, pro- ceeded over to Orange for the pur- pose of settling an old score according to the pugilistic code. They were fol- lowed by large number of esquires bottle-holders, trainers, sponge-throw- CTS, etc, the contingent coming from the west end of the city. The fight took place in the vicinity of well known road house. The contest was an ex- trenlely brutal one, and though Leary was declared the winner, both men were very much the worse for wear at it's conclusion.
 Sheriff Weller of West Haven learn- ed of the affair, but not until after it had taken place. He sought the assist together they secured evidence against ten men alleged to have been concerned in the fight, the two principals and eight others. Warrants were issued forthwith and they were served last evening.

THREATENED WITH DEATH.
That is Why Recluse Gave Up S25O to
 Two Robbers.

Waltham, Mass, April 14.-One of the most sensational robberies ever known in this vicinity occurred early this eve- ming at a lonely farm house on the outskirts of the town. Charles Henry Teele who occupied the house alone, was the victim, and at the point of the pistol, and with a more terrible death by burning staring him in the face he gave up s2OO to the robbers; and they made their escape, leaving him bound hand and foot to a bed.
 Teele, resisting the demands of the robbers, was seized and dragged into a bedroom, where he was thrown in the bed and securely bound with a heavy rope. The men then prepared gag of cloth which they saturated with kero- sene, stuffed it into the unfortunate mans mouth while all over the bed room floor and furniture they poured all the kerosene they could find in the lamps and about the house.
 The men threatened to set fire to the place when Teele promised to give them what money he had which amounted to s25O.
