 The wardens and vestrymen of Christ church, Westerly, have accepted the resignation of the Rev. William M Groton from the rectorship of the par ish Nearly three months ago Mr. Gro- ton was nominated by the joint boards of the Divinity school at Philadelphia, Pa., to the chair of systematic divin- ity, to succeed the Rev. Dr. Richard w. Micou.
 The Washington, Conn.,, correspond ence of the Waterbury American says. "The Hon. o. H. Platt is in town and it is reported that he and Mrs Platt have purchased building plot of MT. Van Ingen on the southeasterly Kirby corner, adjoining the William Hamilton Gibson residence, comprising some five acres Mrs. Gibson sells a little piece to perfect the plot. As this is the senator's native town, his apparent in- tention to finish his life amid his youthful scenes is highly pleasing.''

s1o.oOOooo OF STOCK SUBSCRIBED.
Jernegan's Disappearance Causes ES

Jernegans Disappearance Causes EX-
 citement Among the Stockholders of
 a Company.
 Newburyport, Mass, July 2S,-The
 sudden departure of the Rev. P. r. Jer-
 negan for Europe has caused intense
 excitement in this city and throughout
 eastern Massachusetts. Jernegan was
 the promoter of the Electrolytic Marine
 Salts company, and the plant is estab-
 lished at North Lubec, Me, where 1t Is
 asserted that owing to the great rise
 and fall in the tide superior opportuni- ties are afforded to carry on the work
 of extracting the gold from sea water.
 Two of MT. Jernegan's associates are
 Albert P. Sawyer, a local capitalist,
 and William R. Usher, local shoe
 manufacturer, both of whom are men of excellent reputation. They are di- rectors of the company, The standing of Mir Sawyer and his activity in the
 company induced many persons of moderate means in this city to invest their all, and it is conservatively esti- mated that of the $1 100000 of the stock issued up to date $S00000 is held by our townsfolk. Many business men, includ- ing bank directors, are among the stockholders
 MT. Sawyer when seen said that the sale of stock had been stopped July Is, the issue having been fully subscribed, and that the company had no intention of issuing any stock above the sub scription for several months. MT. Jer- negan undoubtedly sailed for Europe Got Eot To hlhYo a lxi m about going for month to purchase special apparatus. In this connection telegram was shown from A. B. Ryan, president of the company, now at Lu-
 bee, who said that he was told by Jer-
 negan a month ago that he was going to Europe The president stated that another shipment of the gold taken from sea water would be sent as usual
 on Friday He said further that c. F. i Fisher, superintendent of the plant, was at Lake George with his wife, but this is denied here.
 MT Jernegan has received S33S ,27S 40, the amount to which he was entitled
 under his contract with the company.
 This amount has been divided among several persons who had assisted him III HHancldl way III the past '"o years,
 One of the directors said that the 'se- ! cret process" is known to MT. Fisher | and to every member of the board of
 directors, and that consequently MT. | Jernegan's departure does not affect | the operations of the company in any | degree. He said the amount of gold
 extracted from sea water is up to the
 standard of past weeks. The director said he and his associates thoroughly
 believed in the integrity of MT. Jerne-
 gan, although theylmay not approve of | his business methods.

sMUGGLED GARCIA OUT.
Middletown Engineers Reminiscense

Middletown Engineers Reminiscense of 1877.
 Henry o. Smaller, the engineer of the Goodyear Rubber company in Middle town, in the fall of 1877 was an assist ant engineer on the steamship Niagara
 of the James Ward line plying between New York and Havana On one trip the afternoon before they were to sail from Havana he was asked to assist in smuggling General Garcia out of Ha- vana. The assistant steward agreed Ito help him. While the steward was feasting the Spanish soldiers in the
 cabin, MT. Smaller was to get General Garcia on the boat The Niagara was lying in the harbor. MT. Smaller gave the signal by lighting three matches over the side of the vessel General Garcia and two aides came on board and were hidden in a hole of the paddle box pit. The boat was searched sever al times before they were ready to sail but the men were not found. When the vessel was ready to weigh anchor
 they were released, and after they had passed Morro Castle they were brought out into the cabin. MT. Smaller was offered a reward if he could get the
 general off, but neither he nor his as- sistant ever received a cent for their trouble. General Garcia was safely landed in New York. The Niagara is now a collier in Sampson's fleet,

DERBY CYCLE PATH.

Joint Run of New Haven Clubs-Exten-
 sive Preparations for Reception.
 The New Haven, Germania, Clipper
 and Y. M. c. A. Wheel clubs will join
 forces in the run to Derby and Ansonia
 o-night All unattached wheelmen
 who are interested in the proposed cy-
 cle path and who desire to attend the
 meeting in Ansonia tonight are cor
 dially invited to join the Y. M. c. A.
 wheelmen. They will start from their
 rooms at ' D. m.
 The Ansonia people are making great
 preparations to receive the New Haven
 boys after their rough ride across
 country. Yesterdays Sentinel contains the following:
 Active preparations are being made
 for the visit of the New Haven Y. M.
 c. A., ,wheelmen to this city on Friday
 evening, when they will be the guests
 of the local association and when the proposed Derby and New Haven cycle path will be discussed. Secretary Evans is arrahging for collation. to be served the New Haveners following the meet ing. Their wheels will be cared for in the gymnasium and every attention will be shown them. It is hoped that the meeting will be largely attended by all those interested in the proposed cycle path and especially by those who have already contributed toward the building of the path. It is expected that large number of Derby and Shell ton cyclists will be present at the meet Ing"
 In addition to the above mentioned delegation a large number of wheelmen from Seymour will attend the meeting in body The wheelmen of that place have been making strong effort this year to build a path from Ansonia to Derby, but have not met with the suc- ! cess desired. Consequently the leaders of the movement have decided to drop the matter for this season. They will lend a hand toward building the Der by-New Haven path, hoping that next year the Ansonia and Derby wheelmen will help to build the desired path. The
 main road itself is very good here and
 on this account the path isinot needed so much as the one to New Haven. The tax list shows that there are 300 wheels l in Seymour.

THE PRESIDENTS MISTAKE.

We are unable to tell the person
who is advising the President, rela-
tive to District patronage and the
systematic ignoring of our national
committeeman, who has on all
occasions been the foremost man
and in fact, the only man to raise
funds for all presidential candi-
dates. Our committeeman has not
been consulted like other republi-
cans in the State. The question is
being asked on all sides, why is
our national committeeman not
consulted when District appoint
ments are being made? He is
a representative republican who
will have the support of all loyal
republicans when the time comes
to send representatives to the
next presidential convention. The
President is making grave mis-
take in the selection of District
men without consulting our rep
resentative. We have not had up
to date, one representative colored
man appointed to any thing under
the District government. Is this
right or just to men who have
carried the republican banner so
long?

THE CIVIL SERVICE.

If there ever was a sham enacted
by Congress, it is this alleged civil
service law, which seems to operate
TO suit the conveniences and likes
of every administration. The
many thousand white and colored
republicans who were turned out
of Office by Mr.. Cleveland are still
pressing bricks. What does it
mean? Does President Mckinley
think for a moment that these
republicans will support him for
reelection? Almost 80 per cent of
the late army appointments went
to the South and that too among
men who have been inim;cal to the
negro. The negro wants the ad-
to understand that he
is no longer coward. The time
will soon come when the President
will regret this civil service sham.

THE NEW YORK COLORED
VOTE.

The colored republicans in the
State of New York, have expressed
their dissatisfaction with the party
by joining the Tammany organiza-
tion. All over the country there
seems to be d great deal of dissatis-
faction among the colored voters.
The kindness that has been mani
tested by that organization toward
the colored voters in the State OF
New York, by recognizing them in
the distribution of patronage has
endeared those voters to that party.

THAT FLY.

The armies have met in deadly
combat, have capitulated, have re-
tired to their respective homes.
The results of the war have been
gratifying to this country and
things are jostling down to their
normal condition. The scandals
and chickering's, the tales of woe
and suffering which have been GO
ing the rounds and settling On the
War Department have now been
quieted by the wonderful discover
les of the scientific investigators
into the causes of the spread of
typhoid fever and their conse-
quent direfll effects. There was
time when it was the mosquito,
the vampire or the bee to whose
buzz and sting and bite might be
referred the bulk of human suffer-
ing and even the spread of disease.
Now things have changed. The
innocent harmless fly, the erstwhile
benefactor of the race, the health
preserver, the helpful scavenger, has
by the aid of the microcope and
the acumen of the scientist been
declared to be the cause of the
spread of disease and wholly re-
sponsible for the fearful disease
and mortality in the camps.
The clash Of arms, the dynamite
bomb, the Mauser bullet, the
krupp are but pigmies compared
with the dreadful destructiveness
of the fly. The fly was the ally of
Spain. 1t decimated our ranks by
its lnsidious spread of the germs of
disease. Had not the fly been
born typhoid fever would have
been but temporar yand easy affair
ana no such thing as contagion
would disturb the health of the
community. The War Depart
ment is not responsible for the
spread of disease in the camps. 1t
was the fly. 1t made the hard
tack musty. 1t prevented clothing
from being properly distributed.
1t inspired the victorious army
and frenzied and frig ghtened the
retreating foe. 1t is the cause of
Spain's humiliation and the Amer
leans success. The war was con-
Quoted by flies. In fact there
would have been no war or disease
or famine had it not been for the
all pervading pestiterous, warlike
fly. Verify the fly did it.

ROUSEVELTS DEFEAT
PREDICTED.

1t is the general opinion among
the New York politicians that Mr..
Theodore Roosevelt, if nominated
will be defeated. While it is true,
that he is great political reformer
it has made him unpopular in New
York, Notwithstanding the fact,
that he went to Santiago to fight
the Spaniards.
