In Augusta astronomical circles the
moon will during the present month be
the chief object of observation, and to
those who are interested in phenomena
the total eclipse of the moon on the
nights of Thursday and Friday will
give plenty of opportunity to indulge
in prolonged views of the queen of
night as the earth slides in between her
and the sun. On Feb. % the moon
will cause partial eclipse of the sur.
The lunar eclipses will be visible in
the United States if the wealth condi-

eclipse, however. is inconvenient, as It
comes between midnight and daylight.
From 100 A. NJ. to $50 A. NJ. the moon
will remain totally within the shadow
of the earth. and from the latter time
until daylight it will gradually recover
its brightness. commencing as eros

BISHOP A LTE-SAvER.
Plunges Into 20 Feet of Water and
 Fetches Drowning Boy Ashore.

Houston, Tex. Aug 6.-The Rt Rev H. D. Ayes. Episcopal bishop of Mexico. leaped headforemost into twenty feet of water at Sea Brook on Galveston baytto save drowning boy, Paul Graham. aged 19.
 Young Graham, unable to swim, was using pair of bathing wings" fastened to his shoulders. Feeling safe with these. he ventured beyond the shallows. Then the wings" be- came accidentally detached and float ed away and Graham went under.
 Bishop Ayes. sitting on the ver- anda of his summer residence. over looking the bay, saw the boys plight and without moments hesitation, clad as he was in white duck suit. rap out to the end of the pier and plunged in. With a few vigorous strokes he reached the boy as he was going down the third time. He seized the limp body and held it until Cap tain Baker. who had followed him, arrived, when the two swan ashore with 1t.
 Every sign of life was gone and the onlookers said the boy was dead. but the bishop knew something about resuscitation, and within half an hour the boy was revived and out of danger.

DRIvERLESS HORSE WINS. Gnnd.Stand Sympathy Compels
 Judges to Ignore Rules.

Bangor. Me. Aug 6.-The trotting horse Fernando. owned by Palmer Bros of Patten. won one heat without . driver at the races in that town last week.
 Fernando had straps on for the first time in a race. and just after starting he tripped and half fell. He had the pole at the time. and the shock of the sudden stopping threw the driver. Ira woodbury. over the fence. The horse recovered himself. and instead of stopping or running wild he kept the pole and continued steady. The others drew out of his way. but all made the course. and Fernando came under the wire In 2:31. ahead of the bunch. amid wild cheers from the people in the stand.
 He was of course disqualified un- der the rules. but the judges, finding popular sentiment SO strong for the horse, allowed the heat. and Fer nando. with wcodbury still over the fence, was chalked up a winner.

Talked With Balloonists.

New Haven, Aug 8-Captain Mi nor of the tug boat Elmer A. Keeier which put In here to-day with tow from New York. reported that he had carried on q long distance conversa- ton this morning with Dr Thomas who was in the basket of the balloon Nirvano. while the tug was few miles of shore at point about half way distant between New Haven and Bridgeport. Captain Minor says that he was startled to hear a strange voice coming from the dark ness and apparently from overhead. He listened for moment and heard nothing and concluded that 1t must have been his imagination. Again the voice called and to make sure he stepped outside the wheel house, and saw the big balloon lowering a few rods over the tugboat. It was n strange experience for the tow boat captain and he said later that It was somewhat an uncanny one. The big thing up there In the air" he remark ed Hooked like a ghost and the sight of 1t took the wind out of me at first

DR ANDERSON IN TOWN.
Will Not Be Able to Attend Dedica.
 ton of Woodmont Chapel.

The Rev Joseph Anderson, D.D. so long pastor of the First Congrega- tional church in this city and now of Woodmont, where he fills the office of warden, was in town to-day, and said that he regrets very much that owing to previous engagement to preach in Naugatuck next Sunday, he will not be able to attend the dedi- cation of the Catholic church at Woodmont. As warden of the bor- ough he would naturally be looked for and it would afford him much pleas ure to be present. The doctor, always one of the most robust appearing men on the public streets of Waterbury, is now very much reduced in flesh and those who used to know him dur ing his pastorate at the First church would scarcely recognize him today.
 He says he has lost thirty pounds in flesh since leaving Waterbury. His ailment is stomach trouble. Speaking about Mrs Russell of Hillside avenue,
 who was badly burned at her sum
 mer residence in New York, Dr An derson said he had just come from the neighbOrhood where the family live and heard her spoken of as a
 model woman. Her husband. he said is a Protestant, but Mrs Russell and their children are Roman catholics. Talking about his long ministerial life in Waterbury, the doctor said that owing to a misrepresentation in one of the newspapers he was in bad favor for a time with the Catholics. but in time the error was discovered and his neighbors commenced to see him in a more favorable light. The Catholic church, he said, is a wonder | full institution and the person who
 pretends to judge 1t without a great
 deal of training Is making a serious
 blunder. The more one studies 1t the
 more ready he understands why Its ministers have to devote so much Of
 their lives fitting themselves to be
 competent to propound its doctrines
 to the world. The doctor referred feelingly to the death of Mrs Mason,
 mother Of Mrs John F. Kellogg, who,
 he said, was for years staunch | member of the First church. an or ganization which has lost several of
 its most valued members during the
 past few years, four out of com mittee of five who selected the sue cessor to Dr Anderson. having al- | ready been called away.

SEVEN YEAR OLD BOY DROWNED TO-DAY. Attempted to Bathe In the Oily Waters of the Brass Mill
 Ditch.
WENT UNDER THE GATES.
Companions Raised a Cry and Boy Was Taken Out
 Lifeless.

Fred Willford, boy aged years, residing at 139 South Main street, was drowned this afternoon about o'clock in the ditch leading from the West Brass mill to the Naugatuck river. Willford and little colored fellow fellow named Robert Young, and Eddie Saunders, aged [ years, were playing down round the old ball grounds and as boys generally do. drifted over toward the water. There Is canal as 1t were at this point which carries the waste water from the Brass mill to the Naugatuck riv- or. As the stream passes the old ball grounds there 1t goes through tun- nel about fifty yards in length. At either end of the tunnel there are gates which make four openings. Willford went in swimming. al- though he could only swim little, in the upper portion of this stream and for curiosity's sake thought he would go under the gates to see how 1t looked and left Saunders and Young standing on the bank. It was . very dangerous thing for the child to do and to make matters worse the water is none too clean in the stream. When the youth did not come back in a few minutes the other boys became alarmed and set up a cry which brought William Beau camp and William Kelleher, a line man who works for the c. R. & l.. Co. to the scene. They were informed of what had happened and they came to the conclusion that the boy would come out at the end of the tunnel. Immediately they hastened to the other end, about fifty yards away. and after waiting short time the youth came floating out through one of the gates. Beaucamp. who was standing in the water. grabbed the child in his arms. Willford had a little life left, but the men saw that 1t was hopeless chance. although they endeavored to resuscitate the boy he died in a short time.
 Ofncer John Bowling was notified and he in turn summoned Dr Graves. who Is medical examiner while Dr Crane is away. The body was after wards removed <to Bergin's under taking rooms.
 The ditch where the boy was drowned is not frequented by boys and Is a filthy place to enter as the water is full of impurities coming from the factory.
