 Mir. Burnes' probable successor has proved himself an active worker in the cause of Christianity while in Torring- ton and other places, and is well fitted to take up the work to be laid down in the spring by MT. Burnes. He is spok- en of highly by the trustees of the church, and 1t is evident that the call will result in nothing but the most com- plete harmony.
 Among those who have heard of MT. Burnes' resignation there is great dis appointment. In leaving the work which for nearly two years he has car ried on he will take with him the ferv- ent well wishes of his f1ock.--Bridgepor Standard.

REV. HARVEY K. BURNES' RESIG-
 NATION

Nearly two months ago the Rev. Har- vey K. Burnes, pastor of the First Meth odist church, this city, (who was for years resident of New Haven, his na tive place,) rendered his resignation at a regular meeting of the trustees of the church. The resignation has been ac- cepted and it is is probable that in April next the Rev. w. H. Kidd offTor- rington, will take up the work to be avacated at that time by MT. Burnes.
 Though the resignation was rendered some time ago nothing has been said about it and the matter has been kept very quiet, no one but the trustees and prominent members having had an ink ling of it. The secrecy with which 1t has been guarded is accounted for by the statement of a trustee that there was no cause for it's having been given publicity. It was believed by some that MT. Burnes desired to take vaca- tion for about a year on account of the condition of his health, which has not been of the best, though he is not actu ally i'll.
 MT. Burnes has had long term of service in the ministry and he has been one of the most active workers among the ministers during his residence here. He has practically overworked himself and his resignation is due to that fact. MT. Burnes does not intend to resume his work as pastor of the First Metho dist church. and the news will probably prove great disappointment to his parishionere or those who hoped that he would return after a vacation of 12 months thoroughly recuperated and ready to again take up the work of the church. He is not to retire from the but his plans have not been laid as yet with regard to what he will do.
 During the time of his pastorate in this city he has accomplished much work and he has had success among his

 This experience was useful to me- for it taught me never to neglect any useful precautions and neEer to cut my self entirely off from the surface for long underground journeys. Of course l have had accidents from falling rocks, but these have never been very serious. Once or twice I have been nearly over come by gases and I have had a good many tumbles and drenchings. But I hay always been able to get off without broken bones and I have come to the conclusion that if we use all necessary precautions the work of a speleologist is no more hazardous than many pur- suits that seem to be less fraught with danger. ."-New York Sun.

AEOTHER LONG TERM.
Colonel Warren Has Again Leased the
 Atlantic Hotel

Colonel Warren Has Again Leased the
 Atlantic Hotel.
 Colonel Tracy B. Warren, a former New Havener, and very popular here as in Bridgeport and who for the past ten years has ably managed the At 1antic hotel in Bridgeport, has released that hostelry for another long term. The fact that he is to remain in con- trol will be gratifying to his many friends and patrons.
 The hotel is portion of the estate Of the late Hanford Lyon. Under the conditions of the lease entered into between Colonel Warren and the owners, the building is to be entirely renovated and improved. A considera- ble sum will be expended, and when the work is completed the hotel will be thoroughly modernized and fitted with all up to date appliances and convent eneces.

DISMISSAL.

For Conductors Who Fail to Examine
 Communication Books.
 The conductors on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad have had their attention particularly called to the following rule of the com pany:
 Conductors must insist that com mutation tickets be shown on every trip, and on failure of commuter to show ticket, full fare will be collected for his passage"
 It is said that so many abuses have crept in in the use of communication tick cts that the company has been obliged in self protection to notify the eonduc- tors to enforce this rule under penalty of instant dismissal.

ALOFT IN A STIFF BREEZE.
Sailors Ticklish Work at Top of Higl
 Flag Pole

A plucky piece of work was done by a New Haven sailor on the thirty-foot flag pole on top of the Birmingham Ma tional bank. He was engaged to repair the pulley block through which the hal yard is run. Despite the fact that the wind was blowing a gale the sailor climbed to the top of the pole without climbing irons, using small piece of one inch hemp rope with 'eyes" in the erd for his feet to pass through, and slipping the rope up and down the pole, a simply arranged knot enabling him to do this.
 He worked away on the pole, the wind meanwhile swaying it so that he swung back and forth like pendulum. Many people stopped and watched him working away as industriously and un- as if at bench in the shop. -Ansonia Sentinel.

FOUNDING A NEW
TOWN IN ALASKA
Claus SpreCkels Buys a
Fishery.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Aug. 22.-Ketchikan, Alas
ka, advices received to-day state that
thirty miles from there, on Prince of
Wales Island, there will soon be a new
town and one likely to be of some i'm
portance. Claus Spreckels has bought
the fishery at that point and has ar
rived with the first of the men and ma
terial which will lead to the building
of the town. The first step will be the
construction of large fish guano works,
similar, but on far larger scale, to
those at Killisnoo. Two steamers have
been engaged to carry the product di-
rect to Hawaii, where there is lucra-
tive market for it.
Already an application has been made
for a Postoffice, the long distance and
the rough passage to Ketchikan being
a great inconvenience to a large num-
Der of miners now working on the is
land. One hears great deal of Ketchi-
kan recently as mining center, but
the fact is there are no mines there;
they are on Prince of Wales Island and
at Helm Bay. Marcus Days expert is
now at Ketchikan to look up rich cop
per propositions at those two points.
1t is believed the next Congress will
consent to open at least part of Annette
Island to mineral location. Missionary
Duncan and his Indian settlers are
making no use whatever of the exceed
ingly rich mineral deposits of the is
land and it is believed the right to 10
cate mining claims there may be fenced
around with such restriction that it
will in no way interfere with mission
ary work.
The sole industry of the Indians is
comprised in the large cannery. 1t is
said bill has already been drawn for
submission to Congress, to which Mr..
Duncan could take no possible excep-
ton. In that case Mr. Spreckels' new
town, as the center of a rich quartz
mining district, is likely to grow sud
denly to city of Importance.

charge or breaking the new Marin

was created. Not only was surprise

was directly responsible for the enac-
ton of the new game ordinance, and it
was hardly thought possible that an in
fluential member of that organization
would be among the first to violate the
law.
For some reason or other, the affair
is shrouded in mystery. The warrant
charging Van Sicklen with shooting at
a deer on the county roads was sworn
to by Thomas Irving, a deputy under
Game Warden Robertson, before Jus
tice George Rodden. Not an entry was
made in the Justices docket, and when
questioned about it he flew into a fu-
rious passion, even denying that the
warrant of arrest had been served. To
a friend Rodden admitted that Van
Sicklen had been fined the minimum
penalty Of $40, because he was a partic-
ular friend.

FRANK H. TAGGART
DIES IN LOS ANGELES
Wel1-Known Liquor Salesman Sud
denly Expires, Presumably
From Heart Failure

LOS ANGELES, Aug 22.-Frank II.
Taggart, one of the best known liquor
statesmen in Southern California, was
found dead in bed this morning at a
lodging house, where he had been liv-
ing since his return from Arizona about
month ago.
OF late Taggart had been drinking
heavily, but three or four days ago he
quit the use of liquor and said that he
intended to straighten up. Last night
about 10 o'clock he was taken with a
severe chill and asked the landlord to
get him some whisky and quinine
which he did. After drinking the
whisky, Taggart said he felt better and
was then left alone in his room.
Nothing was heard from Taggart
during the night, and this morning,
when he did not get up at his usual
time, the landlord made an investiga-
tion and discovered the dead body AS
Taggart had always had more or less
trouble with his heart, it is supposed
that death resulted from that cause.
Taggart was 33 years of age. He leaves

Gillespie's Slayer Pleads Guilty to
Murder in the Second
naocraa

HONOLULU, Aug. 13.-George wade,
the cook of the steamer Australia who
murdered William Gillespie, was allowed
to plead guilty on a charge Of murder in
the second degree.
He was sentenced to serve life i'm
,r;eonn,en+ nv Judge Stanley. This was
a surprise to the defendant and his 2ttor- stt !.
ney, as we'll as to the prosecutor tor II
was thought the sentence would be for
twenty years only.
The court made a lengthy address in
deiivering his sentence, reviewing the case
fully from beginning to end; he Or drew at. at.
Gillespie second time after he was down.
and had also fired at others, including Of
ficer Harry Evans. The case was par
ticulariy provoking one and called for the
greatest penalty the law could give.
Wade was taken at once from the court
room to Oahu Prison. During the reading
of the sentence Wade seemed cool, but
when the words "for life" were pro-
nounced he evinced nervousness and al
NEST broke down.
Had the prisoner been given twenty
years Communication for good conduct
would have reduced his time to about
thirteen years
