 TROUBLE OF OPENING ROADS.
 These are experiences Of people below us In the late flood. Our sympathy for them Is not less for the fact that had the blockade occurred two miles nearer the head of the pond we must have had the trouble.
 If we hear aright. there is some ice in the road in the towns of Seymour and Derby. We Oxford people know what that means. The town has spent hundreds of dollars opening the river road after ice floods. and it is but a few years since there were nine weeks at a time that no teams passed my place. am to d that at this writing Derby hasNits part of the road cleared. and Oxford has it's part of the road and bridges in passable condition.
 The ice. as piled in from Mir Palmer's place. at the upper end of Squantuck plin. to point within mile of the dam, is a sight to behold. and l have suggested to the superintendent of the Berkshire division of the New York, l l,at If people could be assured that the morning trains scheduled to meet at Stevenson were to actually so meet that passengers on the morning train up could take the down train back. the railroad company might not lose all of the four or five hundred dollars that ii cost to clear the track.-R. s.

LECTURE BY A PRINCE.
Hosanna Coronto, of South Africa. Also Performed Some Tricks.

Hosanna Coronto, of South Africa, Also
 Performed Some Tricks.
 Prince Hosanna Coronto, of South Af- rica, delivered a lecture in Grace Bap- tist church, South Norwall. on March Il. on the ways and customs of the particular tribe of which his father is the esteemed king. Incidentally he did a number of tricks of a very interesting and remarkable nature, and closed his evenings entertainment by a passion ate appeal for funds with which he may return to South Africa and spread the spirit and teachings of Christianity among the benighted heathen of that country, where. like among the benight- ed MormOns. polygamy is considered the proper thing.
 Prince Coronto addressed a crowded and enthusiastic house and started the lecture by doing few stunts: He se- cured a large washtub. filled it with broken bottles, removed his shoes and stockings and jumped into the tub full of broken glass. He smashed the bot ties with his bare feet and jumped up and down upon them. When he step ped out of the tub it was found that his feet were absolutely uninjured, there not being a scratch on them. He denl- onstrated his strength by taking one of the heaviest members of the audience in his teeth by the clothing and shaking him as q dog would a rat. He took a glass of water iii his right hand and seven strong men were unable to pre- vent him from drinking it.
 His lecture dealt with the customs of the savages in Africa He told of his own family. which seems to be quite an extensive one, as his father, the king, has no less than forty wives, which is just a little strenuous. He said that there a man could have as many wives as he wanted, and was table to take care of He told of the marriage ceremonies in use there, and how much need there is of the teach ings of Christianity. He is trying to raise sufficient collateral to enable him to get back to South Africa and to teach there
 I Prince Coronto Is a very eloquent 1 speaker, and his remarks were punctu- ated with frequent applause. South | NorWalk Evening Sentinel.

 The regular monthly meeting of the Connecticut State Baseball league was held at the Hotel Garde at three o'clock yesterday afternoon with Attorney Danaher of Meriden presiding.
 Only one committee reported and that consisted of Messrs. and o'Rourke, who had in charge the locating of suitable grounds in this city. if they could pos sibly be found. The committee report ed that suitable grounds could be pro- cured, although they did not state where, and that there would be no diff ficulty on that score. The report was accepted by the directors. Attorney Danaher reverted the New Haven fran chise to the leagne directors and they will in turn give it back to him. He stated that he was perfectly willing to sell the franchise for exactly the same amount of money that he paid for it to any responsible parties who would look out for it in this city. If nope such could be found it is probable that MT. Danaher will sever his connection with the Meriden team and will come to this city and manage the team here. If he does this, it is probable that he will be assisted in the undertaking by Attor- ney George M. Gunn
 A change was made in the league of the gate receipts. This season each team will get 50 per cent, and the los ing team 40 per cent, as in former years. A prize of $50 was offered to the person preparing the best league sched- ule for the coming season.
 It was voted to hold the next meet ing at the Garde Hotel on the after, noon of March 2S The meeting ther adjourned

Of Beautiful Oriental Rugs at Gamble Desmond Co.'S

Of Beautiful Oriental Rugs at Gamble Desmond Co.'s.
 Every one interested in beautiful Ori- ental rugs. embroideries. eastern stuffs and draperies ought to go to The Gam ble-Desmond Co.'S store this week to see what is perhaps the most fascinat- ing and complete collection of it's kind shown in New Haven.
 It is there as much for those who come only to see. as for the buyers.
 These rare rugs. as well as the other things are shown in the big upholstery department of the store, second floor. Tn fact. the entire section has been giv- en over to the show, which is in itself well worth making g visit to see. whether or not one is interested as a purchaser.
 Nearly every kind of rug known to the makers and connoiseur is in the collection.
 You may look for and find Bokharas, Shiroz, Cashmere, Shirvans, Daghes- tans, Kazaks, Beloochistans, Saruks, Iumas. Kirmaus, Mossuls, Ghend- jis, Miskabads, Afghans, Cara baghs and others equally well known and sought after.
 Collectors of fine rugs will be intense ly interested to know that there are about hundred thousand dollars worth of them, which by special ar engagements direct with the eastern houses that sends them over, can be sold for about fifty thousand dollars.
 Many people who until now have felt Turkish or Persian rug a luxury made prohibitive by it's price, can feel that this is an opportunity to gratify long cherished hope.
 The Gamble-Desmond Co. invites all New Haven to see the fascinating show.
 It will be interesting to note, too that sale of all-wool Smyrna rugs is included in this unique event. These too, have been secured in out-of- the beaten ways, as you may know, elst how could such prices be possibility Note the ad. of the Gamble Desmond Co in another part of the paper.

As to the Price offered for 100 Shares
 Of Trolley Stock
 Notice was served yesterday on the Fair Haven and Testviile Trolley com pany bs Stoddard and Goodhart. coun- sel for g. Suverthau. the Chapel street jeweler, not to turn over 100 shares of stock, or to pay any dividends there on, to Dwight w. Blakesiee. The stock which now stands in MT Blakeslee's name, previously stood in Mr. Silver thau's. and the litigation Is the result of a misunderstanding of the price at which the stock was to change hands.
 About a week before the purchase of the trolley company by the railroad was announced. MT, Blakeslee ap- preached Mir Silverthau with an offer to buy 100 of his PA shares. The jew eler was willing to sell. and an agree ment was reached. Here the misun- derstanding comes in. Mir. Blakeslee says Mir. Silverthau agreed to sell at 20. while the latter declares that the figure agreed on was 50. which makes a difference of s1 900 in the deal.
 MT. Silverthau had 100 shares of his stock made out in Mir Blakeslee's name. Three or four days later. when the purcaser called on Mir Sllverthau to complete the deal. the misunder- standing developed, when the jeweler held out for s5.0OO instead of the s4,oOO which MT. Blakeslee stood ready to pay. The firm of filling. Webb and Morehouse was retained to look after MT. Blakeslee's interest.
 Last Saturday on advice of his coun- sel MT. Blakeslee made the jeweler a formal legal tender of $4,s00. The ten der was made entirely in gold pieces which were spread out alluringly on the jewellers counter. T can hear it. said MT. Silverthau. as the gold coins clinked merrily, tits the real thing. But I can't see it." and so the tender was refused.
 Neither of the parties have yet gone into court. but both have retained counsel
