A. SAD CASE.


 Captain William II. Johnston of Steamer No. ? on Artisan street was suddenly taken i'll with a mental trou- ble about noon Saturday and became so violent that he was taken to Springside, the only institution in this city for the care of such cases.
 Capt. Johnston had been aling with a mental trouble about a month, but none of his friends supposed that his difficulty was so serious as the develop ment of the case Saturday evidenced.
 At Springsfde it was said last night that he remained in about the same condition as when he was first brought there, although at one time yesterday he seemed quieter, but later again re- lapsed into the violence which charac- terized the disorder Saturday.
 Capt. Johnston has been for long time recognized as one of the most effi- cient officers of the department and he was one of the officers sent to New York some time ago to study at the New York City School for Bremen in order to perfect himself in the i'm proved methods of scaling buildings and walls and otherwise getting at burning buildings The information asquired he has since taught to local firemen at the tower erected for that purpose at No. 7 engine house on Water street. He has a large circle of friends in the department and about the city who will earnestly hope that he will recover from the dread malady which has now come upon him.

WILLING FOR D.

The storm of Saturday was a sensa- body of snow on the ground was the heaviest for years The trains on the Consolidated road made fairly good time and some were on time, and none were very late. The electric road went out of business Friday night and not car was moving Saturday. The snow which continued falling all day was damp and together with the snowfall of Friday and of Mondays storm form ed weight that strained some of the roofs of the buildings about town. w.. A. Booths livery stable on Colony street, the horse shed back of St Paul s church and shed at the Backes Broth CTS factory on Wallace street were sad looking sights with their roofs crushed
 in by the great weight of snow. The electric and telephone wires were sag ging badly and on the outside the con nection with other places was broken. The streets were blocked and the side walks almost impossible and until late in the afternoon but very few paths were dug out as the snow was falling so fast that it was almost use- less to try and clear sidewalks. Talk ing the result of both heavy storms of last week it leaves the heaviest body of snow on the ground since the great blizzard of 1S8S There is some anxiety felt for fear of a warm rain setting in, which would result in a destructive freshet
 The roofs of several buildings could not stand the pressure of the heavy snow, and fell in. Among them that of the feed warehouse of Charles N. Jones, near the railroad track, caved in and the contents of the building, con- sisting of grain and hay, were some- what damaged The extent is not known because of the depth of snow. A barn belonging to George w, Wood house on the avenue was also some what damaged by the weight of the snow. J B Williams, milk dealer, living north of the city, on the road to Northford suffered heavy loss. The roof of one of his sheds in which was stored several milk wagons fell in and one of the wagons was so badly dam aged that it is almost total loss. The building will have to be rebuilt in al
 
 most it's entirety.
 The organ recital advertised for Fri day evening in the Congregational church was again postponed on &C., count of the storm.
 There was a Jewish wedding in town hall Sunday evening, the contracting parties being Abraham Thalberg of New Haven and Miss Minnie Hyman, daughter of Louis Hyman of South Colony street. MT. and Mrs. Thalberg will be at home after March 1 on Wash ington avenue, New Haven

 the deep. eternal meanings of that word This is not egotism but the rec
 ognition of responsibility. It is Amer
 icas opportunity to sum up all past
 gains and achieve the hope of all ages Liberty for all.
 To this high task the nations soul is pledged
 Do we believe in Americas. declara- tions as something more than poor, impracticable generality, or barren ideality?
 do not believe that the doctrine of universal liberty was sop thrown to an infuriated mob. It was a sober VOW one hundred years ago. and men and women suffered everything for it. To-day gigantic corporations do not seruple to modify that noble thought.
 Under the administration of MT. Me- tinley it was declared Cuba is and ought to be free" Do the sugar and tobacco trusts believe that? Do vested interests usually believe in freedom when it interferes with their pbusiness, when the genius of Liberty stands in the way of exploitation of fair lands, and the subiugation of people who love their names? Whenev- CT the wil of the people ceas- es to be supreme, the nation is losing it's soul. Whatever thwarts the will of the people is the nations devil I care not whether it be the pious, Standard oil trust or city water trust.
 When few respectable priests of monopoly say "These be thy gods, o Israel" remember these are the Philis- tines and it is time to be alarmed The God of heaven will not speak to us; the prophets are silent, Saul-like; let us call upon the spirit of Washington to look down from the serene heights of eternity upon the repression, the slav- cry, the burning bodies of black men in the south, the disenfranchisement of freemen under the constitution, the butchery of heroes, and the burning of the homes of a people struggling for freedom
 How dare we breathe the wounded air That waits to heaven e negroS prayer! How dare we tread the conscious earth That gave mankind an equal birth? birth And, while we spill patriots blood, Remember. still there is q God
 Who will in justice from the skies, Hear and avenge His creatures cries.
 Benjamin Franklin once said, we have had "a. war for independence, not yet Of independence" New emphasis is given to that statement by the mod ern ambition to become a world power, with sovereign rights by purchase and the subjugation of alien races by con quest.
 The stimulation of foreign and mon archial airs and precedents are revers- als of our honored ideals, and we are cautioned to reconsider the very prop ositions on which our free institutions were founded. The Bill of Rights evidently is not yet made out-there are errors of entry to be corrected All men are not born free and equal. Gov ernment does not derive it's just pow CTS by consent of the governed That the constitution follows the flag is po- litical superstition. Herein is our po- litical agnosticisnn. We can not take a straightforward look at the princi- ples which made George Washington our chief patriot without taxing side glances at our private interests.
