The battle abbey committee submit
tea It's report to the convention for its

treasurer has in hand nearly slO6 600
In cash. In addition thereto there is
the gift of the city of Richmond. S50.-
200; subscriptions collectable. $4,000: /
balance due from Charles Broadway /
Rouss, $4,000. This latter amount is
payable any time. This makes the
total money available for the erection
OF the abbey 100000. The committee
is trying to raise 100000 but the work
can begin any time now with the
money on hand. The exact date for
beginning the work, however. has not
Deen decided. The suit against J. ".
Underwood, the report says. is still
pending. The difference between Mr..
Underwood and the abbey trustees
arises as to the amount due the abbey !
committee from the amount collected +
by Mr. Underwood. Nh Underwood /
was removed as chairman two years :
ago and was succeeded by DIR. J. Will
lam Jones, of Richmond ,
The committee says that more funds :

an, and especially southern. history.

ared, is now much more fairly treated -.
authors than formerly.
This committee also reported on the yo
lttlefiag matter, holding that the
lttlefag is square, with cross-lines I
ON corner to corner. The contention do
many has been that the flag was -
'long instead of square. II
The report Of the committee on the
eatment of prisoners during the war
ows that in all instances humane !.
eatment was given federal prisoners. -ea
large amount of data on this sub snt

EAST HAVEN.

John William Thompson and c. w.
 Bradley are in sympathy with the
 great European power in the present gigantic struggle in the Far East. lContrariwise are l.. s. Bagley an E. l..
 Eldridge. Heterogeneous of the first named are as follows: Japan was too lprecipitate, was simply jealous and did not want Russia for near neighbor, land was actually the first aggressor. Russia whose Siberian possessions are Ionly forty-five miles from those of the United States should be encouraged in her arduous Oriental railway enter prise, and at the same time the endeav- or to civilize and Christianize the people lin those far Eastern countries.
 Miss Emma Childsey, daughter of William H., and who is noted for her lchurch work and many accomplish Iments, has been lowering between life and death for long time. May the lsInyisible Hand that directs the affairs lof all' restore her to health and pro- Hong a useful life.
 Mrs. William w. Fowler, recently de- lceased, was. previous to marriage, Miss Julia L. Palmer, of Moose hill on the Iwest side of Guilford. She was near
 relative of the Goldsmiths, who reside \ in that district Mrs. Fowler was well
 known some forty years ago in the
 Brooklyn of New Haven.
 l At the early age of twelve she was 1 a teacher in the public schools in East
 Haven. When first examined as to lit
 erary qualifications, every question Twas promptly answered that was pro- bounded by the honorable Board of Ed
 ucation When Attorney Charles H.
 Fowler, chairman of the board, asked Ithe age of the young and precocious
 eandidate who apparently had seen six tteen or seventeen summers, and was ltold one year under thirteen, he doubt led the correctness of the answer Not lwithstanding the age Miss Palmer re- ceiyed the school teachers certificate, land her first teaching was in the old lgGoodsell, Bailey dwelling house which Istood opposite the residence of J. I. I Bradley In this connection good truthful reminiscent story can be told Iof former teacher from the suburban flown of East Haven. As his education
 al requisites were somewhat rusty from lthe want of practice, and it being the first experience, it was considered best to find country school in the back woods, possibly the typical barnlike Istructure for a house located by the IWayside, and distant from dense pop Iulation. So unwittingly Moose Hill was lselected for blockheads and uneducated iyouths. But great was the surprise land consternation when Miss Palmer, a Iresident of the district and pupil only leleven years of age, brought an Algebra flor a text book on the first day of the lschool term, This was the person and 1.-the school girl who lived among the lrocks and bushes, was a successful teacher and afterwards Mrs. Fowler.

GLORIOUS PHOTOGRAPHY.
Fine Woodland and Sea Effects Secured

Fine woodland and Sea Effects Secured
 by Amateur Photographers.
 Some glorious results are being had in woodland and shore effects, and nov ices in photography have never evirced so much enthusiasm as during the pres ent season. So keen and permanent is the interest in this delightful art that the Harvey & Lewis company, of No. S61 Chapel street, has been obliged to extend it's line of photographic supplies and enlarge it's quarters to more than double the space originally occupied by this department of it's business This branch of the company caters to a larg- Ter clientele than any other similar con- cern in Connecticut. In overhauling it's. stock, a move growing out of the en- llrgement of quarters referred to, brought to light a number of items which it was decided to sell off at a |reduced price, this sale to continue u1l- Itil the entire lot has been disposed of. All of the items offered are strictly Ihigl grade and are in no way damaged or useless to the working photographer Everything needful in the art from cameras down Is offered, and at attrac- tive figures. The opportunity should not be missed.

\ S2BO,OO0 TRAIN
"MERoHANTS LIMITED. BEGINS
 4 FIVE-HoUR SEEVICE

To and From Boston--The Road Buys
 Some New Cars-Almost Two Hum
 dred and Fifty Thousand Dollars
 spent by the New Haven Company in
 Equipment for This Schedule.
 The Merchants Limited'' train be-. gan the latest thing on the NewY ork, New Haven and Hartford Railroad be-. gins service yesterday. This train is on a five-hourschedule between New York and Boston, the stops being at New Haven, New London and Proyi- dence. The trains leave New York and Boston respectively at 5 o'clock every afternoon.
 Each train consists of a combined baggage and narlor car, a dining car; three parlor cars, and a buffet, state room, and observation car. A quarter 6 ia million dollars almost has been spent on the equipment of the two trains. They are luxuriously furnished and lack nothing that can tend a pas senger's comfort and ease.
 The parlor cars are finished inverrnil- ion wood dulled,. and contain thirty four revolving chairs. The upholster- ing is in green plush. Green is the color also of the carpets, and in harmony with it are the soft olive tones of the ceilings relieved with dull gold.
 There are two staterooms in the buffet -stateroom- observation car A parlor or smoking compartment is divided into two sections, each capable of accommodating four devotees of the weed, while on the other side of the handsome archway which divides them from the larger portion of the room there are desks, tables, and writing materials. The car is finished in koko wood of dark and light brown Browns and olives and old gold are in general use or windows mouldings, and casing, and in the carpets and leather up- holstery, giving a peculiarly soft and rich effect without departure from sim plicity.
 The dining car is so simply beautiful and so unconventional in It's artistic treament that one is liable to be negli- gent of the merits of the cuisine Dark yermilion woods charmingly figured are used in walls and ceilings. Forty persons can be seated at one time at the ten tables, which are lighted by dainty candelabra and by beautifully designed lamps in recessess in the pan els between each table. The lamps and trimmings are in verde antique finish, and the chairs are upholstered in green Spainsh leather.
 ! The combined baggage compartment and parlor car is unique. The baggage section is S61a feet in length while 29 feet are left for the parlor, which con- tains sixteen chairs.
 Each train is of Pullman construc- tion, and everything in the way of modern safety appliances is in use. A dynamo in the baggage compartment supplies the electric lighting. The locomotives are of the American eight-wheel type, with four 78-inch driving wheels. The estimated weight of one of these locomotives with its tender is 232,00O pounds.

The eldest of these, Jo- seph Brennan, let himself fall towards the house and arrested his fall by catching hold of window sill, from which he was resuced few minutes later. He said that he would have been unable to hold on much longer. The other two men, Winthrop Martin aged itwenty-seyen, and Morris Brennan, aged twenty-nine, fell to the ground, where they were found senseless. A hurry call was issued for ambu- lances by Captain Brewer, of the Grand avenue station, who had been notified of the casualty by Policeman Kerwin. pr.
