BRISTOL COPPER MINE.
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS SPENT
 TO DEVELOP

Something Which Failed to Develop
 It Might Have Succeeded, Some Say,
 If it Had Been Located in the Far
 West Instead of in New EngIand-
 Bristol has a copper mine, attempts. to work which have resulted in the the sinking of a lot of money but there is a good supply fine copper here without doubt. and a Butte miner who recently visited the place said if it was in Butte a million dollars would be spent in year to find the copper and take it out.
 All that can be seen to-day for the thousands of dollars spent in the de- velopment of the Bristol mine, says the Hartord Courant, are a few dilapidated buildings standing over the workings of the mine, two large heaps of tail ings, and a good sized shaft house.
 Since the time that Bristol was set tied the inhabitants were aware of the existence of copper in the granite that undeTlies the town. For many years there had been prospecting or copper and other ores and there have been several shafts sunk in hopes of striking a good vein. Up to date, with the ex- ,ception of a few years along in the sos, the history the experiment. has been a series of failures.
 THE MAIN SHAFT.
 During the last time it was operated the Williams or main shaft was sunk from two hundred and orty to our hun dred feet, levels and cross-cuts were nun in all directions without any appa- rent motive, and drifts were made not on the vein, but in a sort of explorative manner. During this time the rich body of copper ore sought after did not show up, although the miners brought to the surace enough ore of fine quail ity to have made the mine pay well. A sample of the ore was seen this week, and examined by an expert miner. He said that it was as good a specimen as could be seen anywhere, but that it was unlike both the Lake Superior and Butte formations, and was more like that found in Alaska. ~A
 In 1893 Colonel Cutting, o New York, who had furnished a large amount of money for the company, obtained judg- ment and foreclosed. He secured title to the mining property and still owns if

All Days Outing by the City Mission
 First Fresh Air Excursion.
 Three large trolley cars were not enough for the first fresh air excursion under care of Rev. MT.

 The trolley ride was long one, but that was just what every one wanted. Mir. Bartlett always makes the City Mission people welcome at the grove, and never lets them pay for It. either. After luncheon, wading, bathing and rowing in the water along the shore, or going furthsr out to sea with Captain Baldwin in his steam launch Echo" filled the time until an abundance of cake and cream was served not only to nearly everybody else. This was made possible by the generous kindness of Mir Ssqmon of the Hauff Cream compa- ny, MT. Curtis Miner of the Harris Hart company, Mir. Boschen, Mir. Has selbach and MT. Frederick Hauff, wi1o donated the seventeen gallons of ice cream. Mrs. Graves, the lady mission ary, who has the weekly care Of all F.T.. s, .R

 This excursion is called "The Chil- dren's Excursion" because 1t is largely made up of members of the sewing school and drawing classes, held week ly from October until July in the ch!l- dren's hall of the City Mission buil;ng. Over two hundred were enroll ed during the past year, of whom fOrty'segan flaI btrn neither absent nor late and re- ceived an additional car ticket and cream card for themselves or friends. and thirty-eight had been absent but once and received an extra cream card. Among the many older and younger persons accompanying the children the oldest was Mrs. Eleanor Shepard, of No. 80 Clark street, who is ninety years of age, and the youngest, little Julia Collins, only two months old, with her mouther, Mrs Collins, of 22 Mill River street
 The expense of the excursion was met in part by offerings on Children Day. at the United church and the Center church, and in quart by other gifts to the fresh air fund Transpor- tation of freight to and from the cars was furnished by SmedIey Brothers.

LIVELY BEGINNING OF HONEY.

Burr Benham of This City Passes Wild
 Night at Walnut Beach

Burr Benham of This City Passes Wild
 Night at Walnut Beach.
 Burr Benham Of New Haven, and Mrs. Sarah 4. Warner, Of Waterbury, were united in marriage on Saturday by Rev. Dr. Davenport of Waterbury and came to Walnut Beach the same day to spend their honeymoon. Now newly married couples have a strenu- ous time at Walnut Beach. and this one was no exception to this rule. Shortly after 10 o'clock party of 100, more or less, assembled at the Butt Inn cottage and from there went to the Thistle cottage, where the bride and groom were staying. The serenading party was growing all the time and soon numbered fully 300 persons com prising men, women and children. The serenade opened with a nice little vio- lin solo played by one of the youngest members of the serenading party. It was followed, no one present can say actually, but the din raised by the crowd who seem to have come armed with everything that could be used in making a noise, could easily be heard a mile, and was heard by every one within that distance except the bride and groom, who do not seem to have heard any noise. Leastwise they did not not show themselves. The visitors not content with noises of all kinds. decorated the house with washtubs. 8 wash bench and chairs which they put way up on the ridge of the house. While this, was going on the bride groom seems to have come to for a minute, as he reached out with a rake while one of the party was going up ladder onto the roof and knocked the ladder over, throwing the man to the ground, distance of some 20 feet. Fortunately he was not injured, but from that time on the serenaders were treated to pails of water whenever they got under the windows. and one man who attempted to throw pail of burn ing sulphur in window was nearly drowned. The noise and fun was kept up till 12 o'clock, when Special Officer Harry Porter, who had heard the noise, came up and drove the crowd away. Yesterday there were plenty of threats that members of the party would be arrested, but no action in this line had then been made. The house and it's decorations were the object point of numerous photographers yesterday Bridgeport Standard.

sNATcHED FROM TRAIN.
TelI-Tale Tore Lundgren From Car

Tell-Tale Tore Lundgren From Car
 Top.
 It is little wonder that Brakeman Alex Lundgren of this city was fright ened half to death and gave himself up for lost, when he found last night, near Bridgeport, that he was tied ast by a rope from a "tell-tale,' with freight train passing swiftly nnder him. The few seconds during which the train- man hung in the air seemed like hours, and it seemed as If the rope would tear his arm from the socket. Finally he fell back on to the top of the moving train, fainting, and with a dislocated shoulder. .
 It was a very unusual railroad acci- dent and different from any that ever happened on the division before. It occurred at one of the overhead bridges this side of the overhead bridges this side of Bridgeport. Lundgren saw ths dangling row of ropes of the "tell-tale' which hangs at each side of each bridge to warn the brakemen on the car tops to duck. He squatted down with his arm above his head as the train passed under the ropes.
 One of the loose ropes of the tell tale" wound around his arm and held him fast. And the freight train went right on, car after car, the brabsrnan's eet touching the car tops as they moved along under him. Each car that passed dragged him the ropes length and then tugged away until 1t almost yanked the arm out.
 Lundgren yelled with pain and squirmed around trying to release him self Finally the rope gave way and he fell limp and helpless on one of the car tops, but it was not until after his shoulder had been dislocated and his arm badly wrenched. He was taken to the Bridgeport lospital.-Waterbur American.

ing Last Week.
 Private Vosburgh started his hike pany A, didn't go to the seashore for his vacation this year. Instead he took long walk to Hillsdale, N. Y, dis tance of 7215 miles. And he hiked all the way, with a rest here and there, in the fast time of 20 hours.
 Vosburgh's foot work on the first day was lively. He left this city at 1:3O a. m. Wednesday, when all Waterbury was asleep, and got to Torrington at 7:20. With a short rest of 15 minutes for hasty breakfast and drink of cold water, the Waterbury soldier hiked along to Norfolk From Nor folk he walked to Twin Lakes, making the distance of 5S1a miles in a little over 10 hours. This is walking along at a pretty fast clip, considering that the worlds record for 50-miIe walk is about S1a hours.
 [ Private Vosburgh started his hike again bright and early Thursday morning from Twin Lakes, climbed over Mt Tom and missed his road, com ing out at" Sages Ravine. After a tedious five-mile hunt he found the road again and kept up the steady tramp until he had reached Hitsdale at Il o'clock Thursday morning Vos- burgh made the last 20 miles over a very hilly country in less than six hours. Although Private Vosburgh is strong and husky and has shown un- tiring hiking ability with Company A, it was not known that he had such endurance. Nothing was known about his long walk until his friends here to-day received letters from him. Waterbury American.

Branford House Surrounded With Par
 adise of Flowers,
 Groton, July, 1O--A wealth of beauty greets the eye at the present time in the surroundings of Branford house, the residence of Morton F. Plant at Eastern Point. The ground is ablaze with bloom, the vivid colors of the flowers contrasting, yet blending har moniously with the more sombre shad- ing of the foliage and the emerald of the tritnly kept lawns. The lily ponds near the mansion are objects of inter- est each day., as there are numbers of aquatic flowers opening and adding their beauty and fragrance to the scene. i'
 Under Superintendent Thomas w. Head the work in the hothouses is well advanced for the next season.. MT. Head feels particularly enthusiastic eoncerning the chrysanthemums, and inclines to the opinion that bhere will be a display this fall which will bedif- ficult to surpass, unless some unfore- seen mishap takes place.
 The labor and expense involved in transforming this place into che para disc of flower and foliage which 1t now is hasbeengreat, nor is the final stage yet reached. Every day sees some new object of beauty added to the profu- sion, and ultimately 1t should be be- yond equal at least in this section of the country.
