DR. NEWMAN HALL
Distinguished Friend of the North Dur
 

Distinguished Friend of the North Dur
 ing the Civil War
 A dispatch from London yesterday afternoon announces the death of the Rev, Dr. Newman Hall, the well known divine and author of many religious treatises. His age was eighty-seven. He was born in Maidstone, May 22 l8l6 He was brother of Captain J. V. Hall, who commanded the Great Eastern steamship, on her first voyage across the Atlantic. Dr Hall was educated at Totteridge and at Highbury college, and graduated B. A. at London university. When the civil war broke out in the United States he advocated the north ern cause in the interests of union and freedom. He afterwards made two ex- tensive trips through the United States for the purpose of allaying the bitter feeling towards Great Britain and of promoting international good will. He opened a public subscription which fin- ally resulted in the building of Lincoln Tower, adjoining Christ church in Lon- don. Dr. Halls most famous treatise, Come to Jesus," has reached circu- lation of nearly three millions, and has been translated into twenty languages
 pr. Newman Hall delivered several addresses in New Haven during one of his tours of the United States drawing immense audiences for those days. He spoke at the old Chapel street church, which stood at the corner of Chapel and Union streets, where the Masonic tenn pie now stands. The Chapel street so ciety were the predecessors of the Dres- ent Church of the Redeemer. pr. Halls fervid and eloquent addresses de- lighted and deeply interested thousands of our New Haven people, as did his addresses wherever delivered. Dr. Joseph P. Thompson was d noted Con- gregationalist divine and orator. and anti-slavery man, who was pastor of the Chapel street church at about the period when Dr. Hall spoke here The Rev William T. Eustis, a fine speaker, was aastor at the time that Dr. Hall was here.

NEW HAVEN'S $ POSTMASTER.
No Opposition Said to Exist to His Re
 appointment

No Opposition Said to Exist to His Re
 appointment.
 A special to the Hartford Post from Washington says: The report that a party of prominent New Haven men, who recently visited this city came to urge Congressman Sperry to reappoint Postmaster Howarth is denied, There has never been any opposition to MT. HOWarth's reappointment, and while the delegation saw MT. Sperry, nothing was said to them upon this subject. The rule of the department, which is now more strictly enforced than ever is to reappoint postmasters, except where there is some good and sufficient cause why they should not be. There is no other candidate but MT Howarth in New Haven, and his reappoiptment will come in good time
 While here the New Haveners talked over with MT Sperry the possibilities of deepening the channel of the Quinnipiac and Mill rivers. There is 9 proposition already before congress to deepen this channel, but it is now urged that it would be advisable to make it still more suitable for deep draft vessels. This. 1t is urged, is needed more at this time because large shipbuilding con- cern is trying to locate somewhere on the Connecticut coast but they must have very deeo water New Haven is anxious to secure this concern.
 Mr SDerry assured the delegation that he would do all in his power to bring about the result they desired, but he fears it will be almost impossible to convince the river and harbor commit tee of the great demand for this work.

BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY.
Finest in the World to Be Located at
Woods Hole,


DR. H. NJ. Smith, chief clerk Of the fish
commission, confirms the report that out
of the s1O,O0O,OOO given by Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie to found the Carnegie Institu-
tion in this city large sum has been set
aside for the construction, equipment and
endowment of what will be the finest bio
logical laboratory in the world.
The plan is to greatly enlarge and de-
veIop the present biological school at
Woods Hole. DIR. Smith says that options
have been obtained on large area of
property there and it is likely that the
ground covered by the proposed school will
be as large as that now owned by the gov
ernment.
The biological school at Woods Hole has
been maintained largely by the University
sof Chicago. There is attracted to the
place every summer a colony OF college
professors and students, who find that the
marine specimens brought into the COM
missions establishment afford excellent
material for the study of tie beginning of
iife. Many experiments have been con-
Quoted by such eminent scientists as Prof.
Matthews and Prof. Loeb of the University
of Chicago.
The work which has thus far been done
under the most restricted auspices has con-
WINGED Mr.. Carnegie and the trustees of the
institute that the laboratory at Woods
Hole is the best place in the United States
for original research into the mystery of
life. The new buildings which are to be
erected will contain the most delicate in
struments and every appliance that can
aid the scientists in their work. 1t is ex-
pected that the school. when fairly under
way will result in some remarkable dis
coveries concerning life, and will attract
the attention of the great German students,
who for years have been engaged in bio
logical study.
