THE LATE JUDGE LOOMS.
Remarks by Rev. Joseph H. Twiche

Remarks by Rev. Joseph H. Twichell.
In the Rockville church, at the fu-
neral of ex-Judge Loonnis, Sunday, the
Rev. Lewis w. Hicks, of Hartford, Of
fered prayer and read the scriptures,
and the Rev. Mr.. Twichell delivered the
eulogy He felt that he could give no
better eulogy than by using Mr.. LOOM
is own words upon the death of COL
league, Judge Elisha Carpenter. Mr..
Twichell then read an extract from
Judge LOOMS words at bar meeting
at that time, as follows: HE was
kind, confiding, generous, courteous,
self-sacrificing, pure and devoted in his
affection; and hence he always held
first place in the hearts of all with
whom he was connected by ties of blood
or association. His love of truth was
spotless and his honesty of purpose
above suspicion. Finally and above all
he had a profoundly religious nature
he was always humble, patient, unes-
tentations, and forgiving, and delighted
to minister to Others, He believed in
the realities of the spiritual world and
the higher life"
Said Mr.. Twichell in conclusion:
Many years ago the departed gave
his heart to God. He experienced Gods
goodness. AS We stand in eontempla-
tion of such life, we believe in immor-
tality. We don't believe in death. The
way behind is long and the way before
is short. Good-by,. good and true
friend, great and noble heart, good
bye" Selections were sung by the
Mendelssohn quartet of this city and
the closing prayer was made by the
Rev. S, B. Forbes. The burial was in
Grove Hill cemetery in Rockville.

Lieutenant- Colonel Daniel G. Rodman,

The card contains the inscription on the
sword and states by whom and to
whom the sword was presented. Before
the card was placed there, it was diff
cult for visitors to decipher the word
ing, because the light in the flag case is
not good, and the lettering on the sword
is fine. The card reads.

vious lowest price and they closed only
IL better. This prompted the traders
to throw over the stocks they had taken
earlier in the day and wiped out the
days advance, with the result that
small net losses are inteTspersed with
small gains. The buying movement of
the morning was largely concentrated,
a single house being credited with the
purchase of no less than $4,000 shares
around the room.
There was little in the news of the
day to account for the movement Of
prices. The collapse Of the efforts to
save the Consolidated Lake Superior
company from bankruptcy seemed to
have been discounted and may even
have been a factor in the recovery of
United States Steel. The removal of
the prospect of the immediate demands
upon capital to keep this company
afioat seemed to afford a grim sort of
relief in the spirit Of dread of corpora
ton credit requirements which Wall
Street has come to. The same spirit
was responsible for the sharp drop in
New York Central on the revised re-
ports that the company was negotiating
large loan to provide for it's imme-
diate requirements In connection with
terminal Improvements in this city.
The news from the crops continued
favorable, the weather bureaus weekly
report receiving a bearish interpreta-
ton both as to corn and cotton. The
grangers were well supported in conse-
quence throughout. A round million Of
dollars was deposited at the sub-treas-
ury for Geographic transfer to New Or
leans: showing the approach to the
maximum flow for the season of cotton
crop funds. Offerings of cotton bills
IN the exchange market continue
scarce, With the freer movement of
the cotton crop evidently imminent it
is hoped that the supply of cotton
bills in the exchange market will make
its influence manifest. The days trans
fers to New Orleans were sufficient to
about wipe out the gain by the banks
for the sub-treasury since last Friday,
The market closed easy.
The late break in United States Steel
second fiVes caused a sympathetic
weakening in the formerly irregular
bond market. Total sales par value
$1,9s5, 900.
United States bonds were all un-
changed on the last call.

BUSY SAND FLEAs.

The New Britain Herald in town talk
devotes the following to the presence of
the sand flea in that city, and its pres
ent burst OF industry:
The sand flea, a much larger, more
lively and a great deal buster specimen
Of the pulex irritans SO commonly seen,
is just now working overtime, and 1t
was not until recently that. his presence
was known. The sand flea is regular
inhabitant of sandy soil, particularly of
that quality found near the sea Shore
but for some unaccountable reason a
portion of his family has come here and
after busy acquaintance with them
the most fercent wish expressed is that
they move on. The sand flea differs
from the fellow that seeks out dogs
He usually attacks people on the an
kfes and the low shoes worn SO extern
sively by men and women enables him
to live we'll. The flea can bite through
a stocking without winking and when
he does bite he leaves his mark, which
almost Immediately becomes itchy. It
has long been question why the
strings in low shoes become 1oosened so
often. The fact is that it is only bluff
on the part of the wearer to get a
chance to scratch. No person who has
kept up with the fashion in footwear
during the past few weeks has escaped
an introduction to the sand flea and
some have met him several times, al
ways in the same place. and his visit
was Invariably followed by several
minutes of undignified scratching. So
many people have been going to the
seaside that it is surmised that when
some Of them returned they did not
come along. Their company is here,
however, and nothing short of frost or
snow will drive them away. The sand
flea can jump like a grasshopper and it
is an exceedingly difficult matter to
catch him." '-.., 5,'

report it appears that a deficiency Of
over nine thousand dollars would be en-
countered unless a FIVE mill tax were
imposed. Since this sax. has been IA

ficiency will be met.

TO vacate the Office of secretary.
He campcd in the office, determined
to hold it until the result of the i'm

president, which were then pending in
the senate. should he determined. For
sixty days Mr.. Stanton held the fort
and during that period his faithful
bodyguard eX-Sergeant Louis Koerth,
then in the United States general scrv-
ice, assigned TO the war department,
kept him company.
On the day in which Mr.. Stanton re-
ceived the official notification of his
removal by the president he made i'm
mediate preparations for siege. lie
dispatched Sergeant kocrth 10 Mrs.
Stanton for blankets and pillows, but
that lady refused TO send them, insist
ing that the secretary should come
home and give up the office,
Mr.. Stanton smiled on receiving her
message and simply said:
"Koerth, 20 TO your own house and
bring blankets, pillows and such cook
ing utensils as we may need"
The Irish stew was the first effort
of the secretary and his bodyguard.
Kocrth, being a German, needed IN
structions in the mysteries of prcpar-
ing the Savory stew, and the secretary
named the various ingredients. which
he ordered the servant to purchase.
Both men had spent Il Gusy and la
boriouSly exciting day, and both were
tired out wien the pot was put on the
fire to cook the stew.
The consequence was that the great
war secretary and his bodyguard fell
asleep. The secretary was the first TO
he awakened by the smell of the burn
ing stew.
"Kocrth, Koerth! Wake up, man.
shouted Mr., Stanton. The stew is
burning"
Koerth sprang to his feet, but, alas,
too late to save Mr. StantOn's Irish
stew. 1t was burned and smoking,
while the pot was glowing red. Rue

his blankets on the sofa and went TO
