The Highsvood Homicide.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
All persons generally consider it a
mean and uncharitable act to say aught
against a man when he IS in great trout
BILE and aftliction. However this may
be, there are always lessons to learn
from the faults and crimes Of others.
YAM may call himself lucky in a great
degree, inasmuch as he escaped from a
heavier sentence namely, the galoWs.
The learned judge told the intelligent
jury that he could be hung Or his
crime. 1t should be understood that If
a husband has a dlssolute wife who is
'und1ily intimate with outsiders the only
correct lawful and safe way Is to put
her aside, or else consider himself I'M
fortunate in that particular and make
the best of it. The use of guns and piss
tolls only add to the wrong already COM
mitted. The Highwood murderer should
have endeavored to have found a police
man or consta ble--if the above~mention-
ed practical methods We're not satisfac-
tory--lnstead of using murderous
weapon. G. w. B.

TO the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
| There was a notable gathering assem-
| bled on the top of Mt. Carmel Saturday,
| October 20. Mr. Eros Bishop of North
Haven who is in his elghty-fourth year,
walked up and down the mountain, Mr.
Bishop recognized the old landmarks
constituting the mountain line on the
top of the mountain. Mr.. Bishop re-
membered the first party of the United
States Coast Survey, conducted by Will
liam HasWell, who hauled their large
wagon to this historic spot and pitched
three tents in spots designated by Mr..
Bishop seventy years ago. Simeon
Todd was at that time the owner Of tnis
land, it being portion of his farm de-
scended to him through his grandfather,
Ithimar Todd, whose farm is mentioned
in the layout Of the parish Of Mt Car
mel in 1857. Previous to Ithimar Todd
was Michael Todd, whose date extends
back very close to the first settlements
There was also present Mr.. Miles Payne
from Cheshire, whose father owned the
property in 1860, 1t having been at that
time twice sold since the death Of Sim
con Todd, which occurred in 1884. There
were also present George T.. Dickerman
from Wallingford and his youngest son,
the gathering thus representing in their
ages four generations. George e. Dick
erman is grandson of Simeon Todd,
whom he never saw, while to Mr.. Bish-
OPP Simeon Todd was well known char
acter dating back period of six'N six
years, Mr.. Bishop being at that time
seventeen years old.
Mr.. Bishops ancestors were men ia
nous among the people Of those days.
They kept a fine pack Of fox hounds,
which l loved to look after roaming
over the cliffs in chase of the fox. Then
the Bishops descended the mountain
with their fox-slSin trophies over their
shoulder In true hunting style. One of
their ancestors, JOY Bishop, picked up
in one of the ravines where the water
flows in the spring torrents fine piece
of pure native gold. 1t did not excite
much comment at that time, although
Mr.. Bishop took it to Professor Silliman
at Yale, who came out to look for more. |
In the light of recent discoveries Is 1t |
easy to conceive how the gold may |
have been disintegreted from the rocks /
which are so heavily impregnated with |
1t, and 1t suggests the ACCESSIBILITY of |
some pan-washing being done when the
water is plentiful after spring rains
Such a mineral belt as this would not lie [
if found few hundred miles /
away from civilization. Familiarity |
breeds contempt for riches at our feet /
n whatever form they lie.

POSSIBILITIES OF LYDDITE.

| So far the shells fired at ShoeburyneSe
have not been of a larger calibre than
9.2 inches-that Is to say, a mean be-
tween those shells which exhausted the
| vocabularies of South African war cor
respondents and the shells that the
next great naval war will see; but this
| is what q 9.2-inch did. To begin With
it was fired at target about fifteen
| hundred yards distant from the gun
| When 1t burst fragments OF the shell
| We're flung back nearly eight hundred
yards-half a mile--toWard the gun;
| that Is to say, the distance of very
| fair rifle range. This, however, was
merely the midest part of the explo-
| sion; fragments at the sides were actu-
ally hurled a whole mile away The
defamation was like a clap of thunder
just overhead, while at the target there
rose a huge tree of green smoke as
high as the clock tower at Westmins-
ter, but of far greater bulk. mile
away men felt a heavy blow across
their faces from the conclusion And
this, be it remembered, was a relatively
small shell compared to the sort of
thing that will be fired in the next ma
val battle.
But even this-suppose 1t hits ship,
what will be her fate? II she Is a small
unarmored vessel single such shell
would probably blow her to atoms. If
a battleship, the shock could no doubt
be withstood somehow, but how much
more capacity to fight would remain?
Fortunately for them, most modern
warships carry a good deal of armor,
and, as the Belleisle experiments
showed, lyddite may burst against ar
NOR without any effect worth mention
Ing. Still in all ships there are large
areas unprotected by armor, and big
shells may well enter here. Most mod
ern ironclads carry four big gums, and
these can be fired once a minute. AL
lowing for q reduced speed consequent
on action, they would certainly be dis
charged each of them once in two min
utes. This means that an opponent
would risk being hit twice every min
ute. Shooting will have to be bad in
deed to make the naval battle of the
future last long, for no ship is likely to
fire again after a single well placed
twelve-inch lyddite shell has got inside
her.
Will it end naval warfare, this big
lyddite shell? On the lines of argument
adopted by the ingenious M Bloch it
certainly would; but actually neither
the tWelVe-inch lyddite nor a shell even
ten times more powerful will. A single |
well placed rifle bullet will kill sol
der, but in battle rifle bullets fly by |
the hundred thousands and yet most

MISSO URI.

Senator Lindsay of Kentucky sale
the other day that with a fair election
and an honest count his State would re-
pudiate Bryan. Some, among whom is
Mr.. Hitchcock, Secretary of the Inter
ior, think that if there is fair cleo
ton and an honest count in Missouri
that State will also go Republican. But
a large obstacle is the Nesbit law,
which was passed by the legislature
two years ago. Under it's terms the
Republicans may find great difficulties
in getting their votes counted after be-
ing cast The Nesbit law is practically
another Goebel law giving as it does to
partisan commission complete control
of the election machinery in all cities in
the State of 100000 inhabitants or more
The law gives the governor authority
to appoint the members of this commits
sion, and there is reason to believe that
the party In power in Missouri will re-
sort to all partisan methods to defeat
the will of the people. st. Louis and
Kansas City will be completely within
