 Governors.
 Hartford, Dec 27.-'Gov1rnor1Elect Rollin S. Woodruff, of New Haven, to- day gave a complimentary dinner at the Hotel Hartford to a party made uI entirely of ex-governors.

 It was jocosely said that the niw governor in his desire to give the state a model administration, gathered the former gubernatorial lights around the festive board in ord:r that he might drink from their fountains of wisdom The following governors were in at- tendance:
 Thomas M. Waller, Morgan G. Pulke- ley, o. Vincent Coffin, George P. Me Lean and Abiram Chamberlain. Gov ernor Henry Roberts was also present. The only living ex-Governor absent was Phineas c. Lounsbury of Rldgef1eld.

Drifted in Disabled Boat for Twenty
 Two Hours.
 New York, Oct 27-I.ost for twenty two hours in the maze of treacherous waterways, threading the coast along Sheepshead Bay and Canarsie, with no food. no apparent chance of being res- cued, and every indication that they must succumb to hunger and exposure on the little aatr1l boat in which the set out from Canarsie yesterday morn ing, Frank D, Ford, John J, Walker and William II. Ward, patromen from Canarsie station, suffered a trying ex- perience. But for a combination of bravery and good fortune they could never have reached home and their names would have gone on record as victims of the greedy oozes, which bury their dead in unknown pieces.
 Providence played part in their ul- innate rescue, which took place at 4 a. m to-day, by moderating the weather yesterday afternoon so that their disabled craft, over which they had no control whatever, was allowed to drift about until it brought up against an antiquited old skinner" sloop, lying in Dead Horse Inlet, about dust, the sole occupant of the sloop giving them the necessary warmth and food to keep body and soul together through the night. Brav- ery's part lay in the determined cour- age of the seven men who finally found the castaways.

 The reason that the lowest bidder was not awarded the contract, 1t was ex- plained by one of the members of the board was because with the exception of the George R, Burton O., each of the other companies limited the amount of damages paid for loss due to any one boiler to $lO,00O The Burton company will pay $5O,OOo should loss en- sue from any one boiler.
 The total amount of insurance is STA 900.
