THE DATE OF THE FLOOD.

It Was Little Over Sixteen Hundred
 Years After the Birth of Adam.
 Eight candidates for the ministry in the African Methodist church were re iected not long ago because they could rot give the presiding bishop the exact date of the food and few days ago d local. daily commented facetioEsly upon the rejection of the candidates. remarking: If the bishop will kindly tell us the date lie will not only juSti- fy his course ill refusing license to the parties in question:, but render an ln- es1imablc service to science.
 The man who wrote the above lines never dreamed that the Bible tells eX- actly when the flood occurred. down to the year and day. He did not know. either. that science knows all ahonf what the Bible has to say on the sub iect. The facetiOuS man saws that if the bishop will kindly tell him the date. etc. and he must admit that as the eight candidates must believe i'll the Bible (elSe thy would not be cantil- dates for the ministry. if they CT the bishop can show that the Bible tells the date of the flood tie question Is ah- Swered. It is not 2 question for stleh- titic corroboratiOn. but simply WhetAef the Bible tells the date or not. II does A faithful student of the Bible. signing himself J. C. N.." a resident of thiS | ci1y submits ill proof two verses rom Gcnesis. and here they are:
 Genesis fifth chapter. third verse: And Adam lived 13O wears and hegat 1 Seth: and Seth lived 103 years and be gat Enos: and Enos lived 90 years and begat Cainan. and Cainan lived 'o years and begat Mahalaleel, and Ma halaleel lived G5 years and begat Jared and Jared lived 162 years and begat Enoch. and Enoch lived 1SI years amt begat Lamech. and Lamech lived lS- years and begat d son. ana he called { his name Noah. saying This same shall comfort us concerning our work ana toll of our hands because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed.
 Genesis. seventh chapter. eleventh verse: ''In the sixth hundredth year of Noah's life. in the second month ana seventh day of the month. the same day were all the foundations of the great deep broken up and the Wlhdo"s of the heaven were opened.
 Twelfth verse: And the rain was upoa the earth forty days and forty nights
 From the birth of Adam to the birth of Noah. according to the above chr0- nology. was 1.oGJ years. The second verse saws that the flood came Ill EOah'S six hunuredth year. or l,b0 wears after Adams birth. in the second month and seventeenth day. It cannot be said that the number or years al tached to each patriarch in the hrs' verse given refer to their entire spans of life for in other places We are toio that they lived longer. The only tie duction is that after Adam for instance had lived 130 years he begat Seth. ina When Seth was 103 years old he begat EnoS, and so on.

SCRAMBLE FOR OFFICE.
Republican Pie Hunters Greater Than

Republican Pie Hunters Greater Than
 the Supply Win Furnish.
 Certain potential republican leaders in New Haven. says the Register, be- coming alarmed over the general scramble for offices in this city and county which are within the gift of the legislature, have asked that there be q bolt. They assert that if the mad rush for SpoilS keeps on, it can only end in the demoraliZatiOn of the party in this county. so that it will remove all encoura cement from the campaign in the fall of 1902. and will cause the defeat of tue party candidates i'll the spring city election.
 These leaders argue that if there is to be u conSideru hlc change in the per sonnel of the officials of the city and common pleas courts in New Haven. this change will surely destroy all chances of republican victory in the spring.
 There may be more than one reason for this sound of alarm sent out by these leaders. Doubtless one reason is to save officials who already hold lucrative offices and another is to con- serve the general situation in the 1n- terests of men who have an eye to fat offices within the gift of the city. Re liable stories say that there is a good sized number of patriotic republicans who believe they ought to be chosen to serve the city either in an elective Of | appointive capacity.
 The last report was that the warn- | ing of interested leaders hadn't had a | favorable effect on those who some weeks ago conceived the aspiration for | local legislative offices. None has l dropped out of the game and more may | get into it, t-

 The opportunities for instruction af- forded by the new building and its equipment should induce more young men to take advantage of the short dairy course. which opens January { 1901, and continues twelve weeks.

TWO SUITS FOR $5, 900.
Plaintiffs Are Timothy Fitzgerald and His Son, John J.

Plaintiffs Are Timothy Fitzgerald and
 His Son, John !.
 What promises to be decidedly inter- esting law suits have been instituted by Senator-elect Kennedy and Attor-I ney' O'Neill against the Connecticut Lighting and Power company. The plaintiffs are Timothy Fitzgerald and his 12year-old son. John J., for $5.000 in each suit. The scene of the dam ages alleged to have been received by the plaintiffs is the iron bridge crossing the Naugatuck river on Washington avenue. Some time ago the Benedict & Burnham company determined to build a barn near this bridge, and to do so it was necessary to remove an electric light pole d few feet. The wire which supplies the light on this pole crosses the bridge. On October 15. young Fitzgerald and other boys were playing on the bridge and. it is claimed the boy named ill the suit climbed the heavy structure of the bridge and received an electric shock which has maimed him for life.
 It is claimed by the plaintiff that the wire alluded to was slack and when the wind blew it Swayed the wire so that it was constantly striking the iron work of the bridge and from this action the insulation was worn eff, so that the bridge was highly charged with electricity almost all the While One allegation of the two suits is to the effect that 5000 volts of electricity passed through the boys body anu that he was knocked off the bridge senSeless to the ground. It Is also claimed that he suffered severely from the shock. The injuries he is said TO have received consist of burns on the fingers and palms of both hands. that
 thc top of his left ear is burned and also the. flesh under the left shoulder blade and near to the spine was SV- verely burned. Some of the fingers on both hands are bent inward and SliH and. according to the papers i'll the cases will remain sc for life.
