GRACE HOsPITAY.

New Haven, Conn, Jan, 1900.
1t seems almost superfuous to remind
the charitable people in our churches
of the city every year that Hospital
Sunday has returned, and with it the
privilege 1t affords of helping to min
lister to the needs of the sick, who seek
the care and treatment that the hos
pital can render them. But lest some
might forget and let the day and oppor-
tunity pass of acting the part Of 1.-THE
Good Samaritan the management Of
Grace hospital takes pleasure in be-
speaking for its use a liberal Offering
The charitable work of the hospital, for
which no remuneration has been re-
ceived, has gradually increased from
year to year ever since its doors were
opened for the reception Of patients.
Last year one hundred and forty weeks
of such services were rendered to those
who could not pay; and it is not all
presuming to think, that as much and
even more will be asked Of us during
the coming year.
The offerings of Hospital Sunday will
make it possible to continue the work,
and if large enough, will enable us to
turn no needy applicant away who
SeGhS duIIlWdIICCs
Besides, there remains about $4,000
due on the building fund, which un-
avoidable changes in the construction
added to the estimates, and it would be
too good a thing to hope that it might
be paid off by the contributions of some
one or more persons acting with that
particular purpose in view?
Details of the hospitals work cannot
be given here, but will be in the an
nual reports soon to be published. But
visit to the institution would afford
better proofs Of the Worthiness of our
call and all who may come will be well
coined
Printed envelopes will be distributed
in the churches which will designate
the offerings enclosed to be for Grace
hospital or offerings may be sent to

EAST HAVEN'S WATER SUPPLY.
State Chemists Favorable Report of
Analysis Made.

The late heavy rain has helped much
to replentsh the lakes and reservoirs
of the water company SO that any dan
ger of a water famine in this city this
season has passed.
Dean Smith of this city, the state
chemist, has just rendered quarterly
report to the New Haven Water COM
pany, concerning the condition of wa
ter in the several reservoirs. President
Whitney stated yesterday that the re-
port was exceedingly satisfactory, as
it showed an improved condition of the
various water supplies. He said the
work OF the company in cleaning up
the watersheds was noticeably appar-
ent in the quality of the water. This
provision was proving excellent results.
Dean Smith in his report says: Con
corning the archaeological eXamina-
lions of this quarter, / would say that
with the exception of the Saltonstall
sample the number does not seem to
have increased any by the dry weather,
indeed there is markedly smaller
number in the Whitney sample than
usual at this time of the year. This
result is as would be expected, if the
bacteria came largely from the surface
and are washed in at the time of rain
fall. If there was any direct sewage
contamination I should expect to see
an increase, and especially should we
have found the coli at this time if there
We're put to direct contamination, and
their absence in Whitney at this time
is especially interesting and important.
The chemical results are a little sur
prising, for while the average result
shows a slight increase in the various
ingredients, the increase is very much
less than would be expected considering
the long drought.
The examination was undertaken at
a time which must be regarded as most
for the supplies and that
the results have been SO good is a most
indication that the reser-
voirs are in most clearly condition
Herbert f.. Smith
In regards to the needs of West Ha-
ven for better water supply President
Whitney of the New Haven Water COM
pany said yesterday that the company
is now considering the application of
the warden and burgesses in relation to
the matter. He said If the company
supplied the borough with water, it
would be necessary to lay additional

GENERAL BUTLER ADVANCES
THE SOUTH BANK OF THE TUGELA
OCCUPIED.
A Flank Movement To the Westward of
His Camp at ChteveIey- Officers Killed
at Ladysmith-OhiciaI Lisi of the
Casualties.

London, Jan. 12--The war office this
morning received the following dispatch
from General Butler dated Springfield
January IL, $3.50 p. M:
II occupied the south bank of the
Tugela river at Potgieters Drift this
morning and seized Pont. The river is
in a flood. The enemy is strongly en-
trenched about four and half miles to
the north"
General Buffers movement, obvious
ly, is of a flanking character, but
whether it is intended to push the adj
vance home or whether his operations
are only feint to cover an attack in
force on the Boer position at Hang
wanna mountain remains to be seen.
Springfield, whence General Buffers
dispatch was sent, is sixteen miles west
of Frere. The last news from Spring
field was that it was held by the johann
nesburg corps under General Ben VIII
joen, and that the Beers had big guns
in position at Potgieter's Drift, appa-
rently six or eight miles north of
Springfield and across the Big Tugela.
The possession of the drift and the
bridge is regarded of great Importance.
1t is reported here that General Bull
Ter submitted his plan of campaign to
Lord Roberts and that Roberts sane
toned it,
There Is belief in some quarters
that General Hector Macdonald will
succeed Lord Methuen in command of
the British force at the Modder River.
Apart from the definite news that
General Butler has commenced a
second attempt to cross the Tu-
gela river, the only official news this
morning is the list Of casualties among
the British officers in the fight at Lady
smith, Saturday, January 6, showing
thirteen killed and tWenty-seven
wounded. Among the latter was Lieu
tenant Colonel William Henry Dick
Cunningham, Y. c., commander Of the
Second battalion of the Gordon High
landers since 1897, who has since sue
cumbed to his wounds. He was i'm
menseIy popular everywhere and his
death will cause widespread sorrow.
The war office later in the day an
nounced that the British casualties at
Ladysmith on January 6 among the
rank and file were 1876 killed and 242
wounded.
There was an interesting ceremony at
the Guildhall to-day, when 500 of the
City of London Imperial Volunteers re-
ceived their kits and the freedom of
the city. The large crowds in the vicin-
ity cheered the arriving volunteers.
each of whom received parchment
certificate of the freedom, enclosed in a
neat blue case. The ceremonial admit
ting the officers this afternoon was more
elaborate. 1t took place in the presence
of the lord mayor, A. ]. Newton, the
and the Duke Of Cam
bridge. This portion Of the regiment,
which sails tomorrow, will attend a
special service in st. Pauls cathedral
to- night. and will afterwards be enter
tanned at supper by the Benchers of the
Inner Temple.

MORRIS SHOOTING CASE.

No New Developments, and Morris Is
Improving.
Bridgeport Jan, 12.-There are no new
developments in the Morris shooting
case. This afternoon the wife of Brack-
EFT, the prisoner, and an aunt called at
the police station and We're ushered into
the private office Of Superintendent Biz
mingham. Shortly after Bracket was
taken in. He remained but a short
time. When he returned there were
tears in his eyes. His relatives were
weeping when they emerged from the
private office into the main. The police
drove away in a carriage shortly after
Morris is improving.
