Naugatuck after his years trip Mon day in good health and spirits and ex-
 poets, now that age is creeping upOl
 him, to settle down and wirk his farm.
 Mr. Lynch spent many Of his early years in the mining districts of the west and his experience if told would make interesting reading. He was one of the first to discover gold in Idaho. and many years ago dug the precious metal, from the ground where Boise
 City now stands; he has washed the yellow dust out of the shallow streams of California in the days of the Argo-
 nauts, and blasted silver ore in the Comstock lode of Nevada. Speaking of the Comstock discovery, Mir. Lynch. who worked with the diScoyerer, said that Comstock, who had been staked again and again without meeting with any success, decided to make one more trip, and it was after spending two days in the mountains that he noticed surface indications Of silver, and on picking out piece of rock, he at once realized that he had struck it rich. Comstoek received seventy-flve thou sond dollars for his claim. Since that
 time upwards of twenty-five million
 dollars in silver and gold have been taken from this lode, while the man Whose discovery made millionaires of many lies in an unmarked grave near the same mountain range, having spent the whole of his money within year, and died alone and almost friend
 less. Apart from his mining opera tiens Mir. Lynch has conducted a dairy farm at Kensington, been a storekeep- CT in New Haven, raised tobacco in Florida, conducted farm in Kansas for several years, had. a lucrative tea and spice business in Meriden. He is a brass moulder by trade and has held good positions in many of the largest factories of the state.--Waterbury American.

NICHoLoSo NOT HELD.
Admits He Struck Carlson but Death
 Assigned to Asphyxiation.

Oscar Nicholoso, of 96 Hill street, in an interview with Chief Wrinn and Captain CoWles at police headquarters, stated that it was he who struck Carl Carlson last Saturday night.
 Nicholoso says he and his brother were in the chop-suey house at Meadow street and Congress avenue, and upon leaving met Carlson and two friends at the bottom of the stairs. Carlson was apparently much under the infiu- ence of liquor and in a quarrelsome mood. He struck Oscars brother John before a word had passed between the two parties. Oscar thereupcn went to his younger brothers rescue. @
 Carlson and Nicholoso adjourned their fight to the street. In the fight which followed Oscar Nicholoso knock ed Carlson down once and Carlson fell a second time on account of slipping on the ice. In the fall Carlson struck his head against car track and re- ceived the cut which has been spoken of as a possible cause of his death.
 When it was seen that Carlson was cut the Nieholoso brothers took him to IHe #OOInIlHTcIdl dIlu ATllllSuOn nOIelS, but at these places the proprietors would not let him stay, as he was drunk and uglyf. After that Carlson went away with his two friends and the Nicholoso brothers know nothing further of his actions. ,r-. -
 After listening to the story of the Nicholoso brothers Captain Cowles sent them to Coroner Mix to tell their story. Both the coroner and medical examiner have said positively that Carlson's death was due to gas asphyxiation, and that the blow which he had received had nothing to do with his death other than it might have added to his dazed condition and make him careless about the way in which he manipulated the gas jet. .s-.
 Nicholoso was not held by the coro- ner because there was nothing about the affair which in any way warranted the charge that Nicholoso was respon- ; sible for the death of Carlson.

READY FOR TRIAL TRIP.
Dakota, Built for James J. Hills Paci- .5.=, fie Line, About Completed.

fic Line, About Completed.
 Groton, March 22.-The great steamer Dakota, constructed by the Eastern shipbuilding company for James J. Hills Pacific line, will have her trial trip before the week is out She is not the largest ship ever built, but she shares with her sister vessel the Min nesota, the distinction of being the lar. gest one ever constructed in the west ern hemisphere, and in carrying capac- ity she is close to the largest of the newest European freighters. From keel to pilot house she has eleven decks, and in her immense hold she can carry an almost inconceivable amount of bulky goods. Whole trains, with loco- motives, will be transported within her steel sides to Japan, China and Korea, and in her four classes of passenger apartments are accommodation for small army of travellers.
 The Minnesota and Dakota are not "greyhounds of the sea-" their dimen- sions indicate that they are primarily designed for capacity rather than speed ability, and with their immense capaci- ty for cargo ought to be very steady and comfortable for passenger traffic. The first-cabin accommodations are luxurious, and pleasure travel across the Pacific will receive an impetus from the placing of two such fine ships in commission.

New Hnyen Thenter.

The ever popular and ever funnier Ward and Vokes opened three nights, engagement and Saturday matinee at
 the New Haven theater last night. To say the house was packed would be put
 ting 1t mildly, in fact standing room was at a premium, and the audience
 well, it was not only one of the largest
 os the season but 1t was also one of the most enthusiastic, They laughed at the quaint sayings and jokes of Ward and Vokes, and became hilarious over the antics of .'Ikey," while they appre- ciated the efforts of Margaret Daly Vokes in her peculiar songs and artis- tic dances; Lucy Daly's clever singing and dancing was also we'll received, as was also the excellent work of Charles Howard. The chorus executed it's work in good shape, and the ensembles were finely executed by a ballet of handsome girls. The dresses worn by the princi- pal artists were stylish and artistic and much admired. The songs and music were pleasing and catchy, that of "De. dlddle-de- duns" being applauded again and again. "It's Best Not to Say Too Much About II" was another fav- orite with the audience. The latter part of the show in which Ward and Yokes have transferred the reigndom of the ruch from that of the palace to the jail is original and WAS well received. Taken all through it's . bright and pleasing entertainment, which should please the most fastidious and crowded, houses are sure to be thernle at the next three performances 2

BEST SPRING MEDICINE.
OUR LEADING DRUGGIST, VIM. H. HULL OUT OF HIS VAST STOCK
 AND EXTENSIVE KNOwL- i EDGE OF MEDICINES RE- CoMMENDs yINoL AS
 H. THE BEST @

At this season of the year" said Mir. Wm H. Hull the other evening, .'there isn't a man. woman or child in New Haven who does not need a medicine to purify and enrich the blood. to induce an appetite, to promote digestion, and create strength, and we are safe in saying we have never sold anything in our store equal to Vinol for this pur- pose,'' .., %-
 This new way of administering the vital principles of cod liver oil has wrought wonderful change in the field of medicine. There is no need to take greasy oil, emulsions or poisonous drugs to purify and enrich the blood and create health and strength, for we guarantee that pure, simple and deli cious preparation, vinol, will do it, or your money will be returned.
 Mrs. Rose Lavigne of Burlington, Vt, writes: "Vinol is the best Spring med icine I have ever used; it creates an appetite, purifies the blood, and takes away all feeling of lassitude. My work which seemed a burden before taking Vinol, is now a pleasure"
 MT w. J. SteWarC, or CneiSea, Mass, writes: q was all run down and in a devitalized condition; Vinol quickly built me up and brought back health and strength"
 Mir. J. B. Keener, Augusta, Ga, writes: When one gets all run down, loses appetite, feels listless, worn out and nervous have found nothing so good as Vinol to restore strength and health"
 Said Mir Hull: 'T could go on quot ing from hundreds of such letters, and I wish I could persuade every person in New Haven to try Vinol this Spring on our guarantee to return money if they are not benefited. "-Hull's Corner Drug Stores. ...-..s .,.-. .<-..,. .~.

Theatergoers Held Men Whom Com
 panion Wished to Overtake. k
 A screaming farce, not on the pro- gramme, was enacted late last evening on Chapel street by a quartette consist- ing of three athletic gentlemen and their companion, gentleman of rather stout proportions. These four men were preceding along Chapel street when the three athletic looking men though it would be good idea to shorten their journey by running. The stout gentleman thought it would not. Therefore the stout gentleman briefly haheld the heels of his companions f1it- ting along half league, or. rather half a block onward. Then did this merry gentleman wax righ humorous in heart and did launch upon the night air in realistic tones the startling cry, Stop thieves!" @
 Now it chanced that there was a goodIy host of ye people returning from a pleasant evening at the theater, some of whom hearing the cry of the gentle man from the rearward did valiantly hie them to the rescue. Whereupon the three athletic gentlemen aforementior- ed did find themselves suddenly inter cepted in their sprinting exercise. And until the stout gentleman had regained his fleet convoy they were held by the startled theater goers. Upon arriving on the scene the stout gentleman was so convulsed in laughter as almost to arouse alarm for his safety. But hay ing subsided safely and explained the status quo the brave rescuers deigned to release their captives. Whereupon exit the stout gentleman, victor and the athletic looking gentlemen van- ouished on even terms. ..
