ALPHONS0 DIMON.

Ills Death in Bridgeport Last Night.
 A telephone message was received
 from St. Vincent hospital, Bridgeport,
 last evening telling of the death of AL
 phonso Dimon, of that city. MT. Dimon had many friends in this city who will
 be saddened by the news, for he was favorably known by many here. He
 was about tlfty-seven years of age He had been great sufferer for years with complication of ailments, during all of which time he had been carefully looked after by a loving wife, Mrs. Jennie Dimon of 693 Dixwell avenue, this city, and the many friends of Mrs. Dlmon will deeply sympathize with her in her loss. Alphonso Dimon will ever be remembered for his genial and hap py nature, and although during his long illness he had been a great suf- ferer he maintained ever a happy frame or mind and was to the last hopeful, and it was a pleasure to his friends to meet him. He was a de- voted member of Joseph Dowdall lodge, K. of P, and his funeral will be held from the lodge room in Bridgeport, the time to be stated later. It is the wish of his devoted wife to state that the remains will lie in state at the lodge room on Main street before the funeral so that his many friends may have a chance to look upon the face of one who in life was well and fayor- ably known. Alphonso Dimon will be remembered by large number of peo- pie in Bridgeport for many charitable ! acts. He was brother-in-law of John E. Skinner of the Journal and Courier

MAJORITY FOR
 NEW COMPANY Legislative Committee to Report Favorably on Mo
 Donald Construc-
 tion Go. SOME OPPOSITION TO THE MEASURE First Time There Has Been a Division of the In- corporation Com
 mittee.
Special to Journal and courier.)

Special to Journal and Courier)
 Hartford, July 22.-senator Barnum, chairman of the committee on incor- porations, will submit a majority re- port, Tuesday, on the act incorporating the Macdonald Construction company of New Haven. The incorporators in- clude Colonel Theodore H. Macdonald, insurance commissioner, Comptroller Thomas D. Bradstreet of Thomaston and H. A. Holt of Canaan.
 The act has come up in the last days of the session and a minority of the Interpretations committee are opposed to it on that account. The opponents of the measure are Senator Chase of Waterbury, Edward T. Canfield of Thomaston, house chairman of the committee, Joseph W. Alsop of Avon and William B. Stevens of Saybrook
 It will be the first time that Senator Barnum has had division in the in corporations committee to be reported
 In view of the fact that the tele- | phone bill has passed both houses and is on the way to Governor Woodruff for approval none of the acts lncor- porating independent telephone compa- nies will be reported favorably. The bill that has been passed will allow in- corporation of the Independents under the general laws of the state. Opera tions by such companies in the state will be authorized by the courts only when public convenience can be shown by the petitioners. It is not likely that the independents, who have left no stone unturned through the session in support of telephone competition, will attempt to organize under the general laws of the state. The Independents have been using the capital corridor for months for an exhibit of the automatic telephone system. Such a course has never before been pursued in the capi- tol. There would be as much propriety in making an exhibit of voting ma chimes by the company manufacturing them for sale. The business mems as- sociation of the state through com mission headed by Norman F. Allen of Hartford stood firmly against the sys- tenn of telephone competition represent ed by the Independents. The opinion of the Business Mems association had much to do in bringing about the so- lution that was reached, requiring in- l dependent telephone companies to show 1 public convenience and necessity before | the courts before entering the field as competitors with the present company operating in the state.

PROFESSOR ToTTEN's REMEDY.
Suggests Way to Prevent Such ExpIo-
 sions as That on Georgia.

Again Professor Totten has been heard from, but this time 1t Is neither a prophecy of evil, or an T told you so" after some certainty He Is suggesting a way of preventing the recurrence of such explosions as that on the U. S. S. Georgia recently. The Professor does not cliam that the method he advocates is new; but if it Is, he states rather than patent it he merely claims prior ity and conveys his idea in fee simple to. the government. The suggestion is to make all powder bays of asbestos" cloth or of any other n-combustible or saturatiye woolen.
 When asked how he would convey fire to the cartridge in such form he said: Easily enough, 1 would have the friction primer in the form of long 9 ealiber pistol cartridge with a bull let to cut through, the bay and make way for the fire.
