BURNED TO DEATH.

Jared Blakeslee, Hamden Hermit
 Found in Ruins of His Hut.
 Jared Blakeslee, who for years had lived the life of hermit in the woods near Wintergreen Lake, was burned to death Thursday night and his body, blackened and charred, was found yes- terday morning in the ruins of his hut by his sister, Mrs Williams Brooks, who resides near by.
 Blakeslee was slxty-seven years of age and was a absolute character. He was originally a well-to-do farmer in the town of Hamden, but his habits of dissipation caused him to lose all that he possessed. On account of his evil habits his relatives turned him out and provided shelter for him in the ram- shackle building in the rear of the prop erty belonging to Mrs. Brooks.
 Thursday Blakeslee went into town and returned intoxicated. He was last seen at o'clock that evening on his way to his hut. When Mrs. Brooks went to feed her chickens she found her brothers hut in ruins, and after a search Blakeslees body was pulled out from the ruins.
 Dr. Joslin, the medical examiner for Hamden, was notified and he investi- gated, disclosing facts given in the fore goin. pr. Joslins theory is that Blakeslee upset his lamp and was too drunk to help himself when the fire oc- cured. Permission to bury the remains was given.

| much work to be done; the sIings had to be removed from the rifles, the bayonets in their scabbards fixed on the rifles. all loose straps of equipment, the pouch, the cape of the great-coat belt and the rest were to be slowed away in the va llse, and the canteen fastened on to it in it's proper place. Every man was to wear his great-coat until he got on board ship, and his field service cap was to be kept handy in his haversack The helmets were to be packed away imme- diately after the authorization. For or dinary wear on board the men were pro- vided with the conventional blue night cap.
 Southampton docks are admirably adapted for the authorization of large bodies of troops. There is deep water to the very edge of the extensive wharf, age, and the largest steamers can lie alongside ready to fill up with their liv-
 ing freights, while the many enormous open warehouses were availa ble as cov- cred troop sheds. The orders issued for detraining were simple, but complete. The first to leave a train on its arrival in the dock was the commanding officer, with his adjutant sergeant-major and bugler; next a marker from each com pauy alghted while the company off ccr5 stood by the carriage doors occu- pied by their own men.

 The hall was handsomely decorated with evergreen festooned from the chandeliers to each corner and along the side walls and palms tastefully placed about.
 A novel feature was the placing of the orchestra in the center of the dane- ing space, they being completely hid- den by tall palms and orange trees. The decorations were by champion. The Second regiment orchestra furnished music.

Not Much Business at Last Nights
 Brief Session.
 The board of education held brief meeting last night. The committee on schools reported the resignation of Miss Margaret McKiernan, teacher in room 4 Webster school, and the resig- nation was accepted. It was reported that the superintendent had appointed Miss Frances Mailhouser a teacher on the unassigned list and the committee recommended that her salary be fixed at $500 to date from November 3. The recommendation was adopted.
 The building committee was author ized to advertise for bids for the placing of a metal ceiling in Hillhouse High school in case a transfer of the amount required is made by the board of finance. Superintendent Kendall was absent, being in Trenton, N. J., to ad- dress an educational meeting there. His monthly report was read, however, and in it the closing of Roger Sherman school was mentioned

Then each com pany, having moved to fresh ground, was divided up into messes, and each mess, escorted by it's own non-commis- stoned officer, filed by a third distinct sangway or board and so down to the troop decks.
 These manoeuvres were conducted without intermission for several hours, and with unfailing clock-lille mechani- cal precision. It was almost automatic; no one gave orders, there was not the slightest fuss or furry. Every one in every rank knew exactly what he had to do The result only was presently apparent, and in marked degree, by the steady filling up of the ships and their prompt readiness for sea.-Lon- don Times.

HOW TO PACK A SHIP WITH MEN

AAS''cu py W iiCu tlIt DOuLn African
 Army Corps Embarked.
 Moving troops by sea is such an inte- gral and essential part of our military business that constant practice has gone far to perfect the system in force. But the general public will hardly be familiar with the proceeding as it WIS carried out yesterday, and will be else where, at Glasgow, Tilbury, the London Docks, Cork, &c. during the next week or two. It may well be described there fore in some detail taking the case of infantry as the simplest and quickest in application. The whole aim and object of the orders issued were to prevent confusion or delay at any point by pro- viding against every mischance. In the first place, before leaving barracks or quarters every article of clothing want ed during the voyage was to be packed in the sea kit bags, which bags as we'll as the valises were in no case to be sep arated from their owners. Every man when he entrained was to take them into the railway compartment he occu- pied. On the railway journey there was

LITCHFIELD'S HERO.

That Old Town Does Honor to Lieuten-

 Great Style.
 Litchfield, Nov 10.-This famous old town is to-day handsomely decorated with flags and bunting and the streets are thronged with visitors and citizens anxious to do honor to Lieutenant Commander Colvocoresses, executive officer of the U. s. s. Olympia Not since the return of the Litchfield coun- ty troops at the close of the civil war in August 1865, has Litchfield seen such a celebration. The weather was fitting for the occasion, it being a typical In- dian summer day.
 The exercises consisted of a parade, which was viewed by Commander Col vocoresses, literary exercises, singing by the school children and the presenta- ton of a handsome sword to the lieu tenant commander.

 HALL FOR PRESIDENT.
 The standing committee of the board of directors of the New York and New Haven Railroad company met Tn New York yesterday for the principal pur- pose of further discussing the matter or who shall be chosen to succeed Charles P. Clark as president of the corpora ton. From information gathered from trustworthy sources John M. Hall, the present vice president of the road, will, it Is reported, be the man selected. All of the New England directors are be- lieved to have favored his election ever since President Clark intimated his in tention to resign, or at least not to &C., cept reelection. The New England di- rectors, in order of seniority of service, are as follows:
 William D. Bishop, Bridgeport; Hen ry c. Robinson, Hartford; Charles F. Clark, New Haven; Henry s. Lee, Springfield Leverett Brainard, Hart ford; John M. Hall, New Haven; Charles F. Choate, Nathaniel Thayer. Boston; Royal c. Taft, Providence; Charles F. Brooker, Torrington; Carlos French, Seymour; George J. Brush, New Haven; I. DeVer Warner, Bridge port; Arthur D. Osborne, New Haven MT. Osborne remained in New York yes- terday, as was ascertained by inquiry at his home last evening, and his views as to the successorship could not be ob- tained.
 Vice President Halls accession to the presidency will create the necessity for an election of a new vice president also. Four men who may be looked upon as eligible are General Manager Chamber lain, Executive Secretary w. E. Bar nett, Comptroller H. M. Kochersperger and Chief Engineer Fayette $. Curtis. The future programme of the road is believed to include the re-creatng of the position of second and third vice presidents, and it is believed that one of the men named will be selected for one of these positions.
