PARSONS CHEAP GRCcERY.

The Rev R. E. Mattice, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Throgg's Neck, las announced that he intends to man. age and operate a grocery stc.a on the church property. Since this announce nent was made the grocers and shop keepers at Throgg's Neck have been talking of signing a petition to the trustees of the church begging them to veto the parsons proposition.
 Mir Mattice says that he intends to manage the grocery store himself. Several wealthy members of the con- sregation have agreed to subscribe money to start the grocery store, MT Mattice says, but they will get no in- come from their investment. MT Mat 1ice says the groceries will ne supplied to the poor people at cost price. The indignant storekeepers declare that tho grocery store will be run for no other purpose than to make money.
 The grocery store will be i'll a barn which MT Mattice has had reconstruct el for the purpose.-New York Sun.

Brakes Refused to Work and Engineer
 and Fireman Jumped.

The freight train which was due here yesterday at 2 p. n. was tride behind the schedule, and Engineer Lyons. who was in charge of the locomotive, in creased the speed somewhat after leav- ing Welton's station. When the train ar rived at WatertOWn Engineer Lyons at- tempted to put on the air brakes, but much to his diSmay he found that they would not work. The train had already gained such headWay that even when he reversed the lever the train rushed by the station and as it reached the crossing near HeminWay & BartletI's s silk mill, the engineer and fireman, sec ing that nothing else could be done, jumped from the cab just in time to be saved from being dashed to pieces on the walls of a deep we'll through which the engine crashed with incredi- ble speed, sending the cover of the well several feet in the air. The train ploughed a furrow of about two and q half feet in depth for a distance of about forty feet As soon as the acci- dent was known another engine was sent up from " aterbury with which the switching of the freight was ac- complished. Luckily neither the en- gineer nor fireman were injured, as the
 
 when they jumped was enough to dash almost any person to pieces.

DEBT AND SOLVENCY.

The New York Evening Post, which is a proverbially conservative journal l attempts in it's issue of Saturday last l to estimate the value of the property owned by the greater New York mu-
 nicipality. In round numbers this
 foots up about $600,OO0,OOO. The parks alone of New York and Brook lyn are set down as worth about $500,- OOO,OO0. School buildings and the like
 are put at $35 1884, ,O0O. All in the list comes, as we have said, to about
 $600,0O0,000. The last number of
 Poor's Manual puts the debt on all
 Manhattan at something less than $400, 100000. In other words the city
 is about $2O0,0OO,000 to the good, not putting any cash value upon it's very expensive sewer system, which might charge every householder for its indis- pensab1e service.
 This exhibit of wealth, in face of constant bowling about indebtedness, serves to confirm, what the Courant has for so long contended, that there is no sense in undertaking to regulate the indebtedness of a community by establishing any fixed ratio between it's taxable list and it's obligations. It may be true of cities as of individuals that the way to get rich is to run ill debt. Surely, while we all hold to the old maxim that the best invest ment a man can make is to buy his own otes, still something goes be- fore that He has to give his notes first. Presumably what he got for them has increased and with the pro ceeds he can redeem them and have something left for himself
 So it is with cities. Take Hartford for an illustration. We owe in round numbers $3,5OO.O00 and against this are of very large value and could be sold to a syndicate any day for deal more than the water debt, giving us a handsome profit. Then we have have Bushnell park, which is worth millions and probably all that we owe There are also all the other parks and all the fire engine houses and there is the high school before we come down to all the school property owned by the districts, against which would be set their debts.
 If We could get property worth $1,- 100000 by issuing $5O0,000 of bonds, it would be good business Judgment to issue them and it would be folly to pass a law, as so many states do, to forbid us to make use of the opportun- ity if the thing to be bought was need ed. Of course city has no call to go to speculating. It all depends upon the good sense of those in.control and it is the duty of the citizens to see to that matter. They are quick to rally and il ght when they see corporations, in which they have financial interests, but municipal affairs, which concern them most vttally, they are wont to dismiss as politics" and leave "all that sort of thing to "those who have a taste for it.''
 The privilege of citizenship is also a burden. It brings responsibilities as we'll as conyenieRces The whole scheme of self-government depends on attention and fails under neglect. It is a curious commentary on human na- ture that those who seem to have the most reason for attending to their ee.,- .it aTc thcen --s's9 cto-,-r4 f,il entirely to do sQ.-Harttord Coulant.

-fs61StOr1c Tree III trOnT or WadSWortl [ Atheneum Decaying Seriously.
 The old Washington elm,'' which :, stands in front of the Wadsworth
 Atheneum, Hartford, is in trouble
 ] The indications are that it will stand ia while longer, but it will have to be z 9carefully watched and evidently it's yAdays are numbered. Whoever looks :, at it will see that it's growth is all to- ward the west, as the east limbs have 1been trimmed off, and, by the change tl of grade in the sidewalk, it's eastern z roots have been taken away, lessen
 ing it's hold on the ground. Besides this it is rotting seriously, as elm
 trees do. Superintendent F. B. Gay | and Street Superintendent Hansling are taking frequent note of it's con- dition and when trimming becomes ! necessary it will be done even to the E extent of execution. This tree shel- | tered Washington when he called on l.fJeremiah Wadsworth, June 29, 1775. .a.The Wadsworth house was set back s.from the street and the elm was at the
 gateway through which Washington Sipassed on his way into the house. c There are two smaller and very wig is,F ,Forous elns close by to which the tab 2 let now on the old tree could conye- niently be removed, but the manage fs ment is not conducting a museum and frmilI stand by history; the Washington
 . elm is not a rival to the Charter Oak. feIt is likely that when the tree comes a down slab will be set in the walk 5 giving notice that that is where Wash
