Less Than Half the EXcursionists Re-
turned on the Steamer

Less Than Half the Excursionists Re-
turned on the Steamer.
Less than half of the 1900 passengers
which started off on the Cepheus Sun
day morning for an excursion to New
York and Coney Island with Russell
council knights of Columbus, was on
the boat when it reached Belle dock at
8 o'clock yesterday morning. The boat
ran into a squat while going through
the sound, which afforded all the ex-
citement that most of the party desired
for one day.
The excursion boat was approaching
the entrance to Hell Gate. when the
wind made the boat rock in a lively
manner. The Cepheus was stopped,
and the passengers on the upper deck,
who had no shelter at all, were drench-
ed. After the blow was over the Ce-
pheus proceeded safely through the East
river, and made a landing at pier /,
North river. Between 700 and 800 rain
soaked passengers, who had started for
a day at Coney Island, had lost all de-
sire for a trip to the sea shore by this
time, and thought 1t was better for
them to get their clothing died before
they started back for New Haven in the
evening. They landed but not without
much difficulty, as the tide was low and
the dock many feet above it deck

plumber and the flow was partially
stopped after much difficulty was ex-
perienced in locating the break in the
water pipes. If Mr.. Johnson had not
gone to his residence yesterday the
damage would have been much heavier,
but as it Is the ceilings IN the parlor
sitting room, dining room and kitchen
are ruined and will have to be made

just about to start for the White noun
tains, and it was for the purpose of

THE CHINAMAN's INFERENCE


The Chinese in Australia would, as a
rule, probably have something to say
about Outlanders' grievances. Still, In
the eyes Of the law they are treated as
the white mans equal, and the great
est severity Is shown to those who ILL.,
use them. This Is exemplified by a
case that was tried some time, ago by
a magistrate sitting In an up-country
township near Brisbane The accused,
o Scot by birth, was a prosperous
hotel keeper. In 1879 he had been one
of party of excursionists who had
visited Hawarden and been privileged
to witness Mr.. Gladstone fell lime
tree. He was fortunate enough to Sc
cure a good sized chip, which he after
wards treasured up as one Of his most
sacred possessions. When he emigrated
to Queensland and became fourishing
inn keeper the chip was kept on the
mantlepiece of his sitting room, and
was regarded by him with much the,
same feelings as the Luck Of Eden
that fatal glass. One day, however
he sent new Chinese servant into the
room to light fire John, seeing the
bit of wood and knowing nothing Of its
associations, put 1t among the flames.
It was blazing UP when his master en-
tered the apartment. First having
pulled out the precious relic, and burn
ed himself badly, the Scot fell upon the
Monaghan and beat him severely. For
this he was summoned by the Chinese
servants and very heavily fined by the
magistrate, who possibly had opinions
of his own on politics Now the pre-
cious relic, slightly charred, is kept In
a glass case, while the Chinese servant
will not easily be persuaded that the
English do not worship idols OF wood

WOODBRIDGE HEALTH OFFICER
Takes Action for Abatement Of an AL

Takes Action for Abatement of an AL
legged Menace to Health
DR.. ]. w. Barker, health officer Of
Woodbridge, received Saturday a petit
ton signed by large number of resi-
dents Of the town, protesting against
the continuance of an alleged nuisance
at the old match shop down on the Sey-
mour turnpike, near the Seymour line
and it is at the upper pond that the
nuisance exists. The petitioners state
that the water in this pond has been
drawn down so low that only narrow
stream flows through its center; that
the muddy bottom of the pond is expos
ed with some thousands of dead fish ~
ing there. The stencil from this is al
most unbearable to the people who have
summer residences on the hillside above
the pond.
Health Officer Barker, after confer
ence with Health Officer Hoadley, yes
terday issued an order which was served
on Mr.. Botsford, who has a saw mill
and grist mill at the lower dam, direct
ing him to abate the nuisance on or be-
fore August 16. The summer residences
around the pond are owned mainly by
New Haveners, who have already cart
ed away several carloads of the dead
fish, but were unable to do more to-
wards helping matters.

EDITOR ARGUS: Please allow
ne to say a few words through
your valuable paper to the Dem
ocrats Of Wayne county. I as a
man that have known and work
ed with Mr. Berry A. Parks for
the past several years, for the
Democratic party, do say that
his perseverance, his jealous
work, his love for his country
and Democracy, and his fitness in
every respect entitle him to the
consideration of every Democrat
in Wayne county.
He has allowed his many
friends to put his name before
the people for nomination for
county treasurer. Knowing Mr.
Parks personally and politically
as [ do I think it would be a fit
ting recognition for every Demo-
crat to come together and nomi-
nate unanimously this man that
has sacrificed his time and his
interest for US all.
Let every one remember the
dark days of the past and those
who helped to save their coun-
try.
