"1nvestigation of the commission
houee of the Macbeth Gardner COM
pany at 2oe West Michigan street by
J. H. Lee, deputy government in
spector, and DR.. Patton, head CON-
missioner. yesterday afternoon re-
vealed shocking conditions, it is
claimed.
"rhirty-eight carcasses of sheep
which had begun to decay were dis.
covered in the place, and it is the
belief of the authorities that it was
the intention of the company to sell
them after "doctoring" them to re-
move theevidences of the decay as
far as possible.
"When first discovered by In
spector Lee the carcasses were be-
ing sent to a "freezer" which is own
ed by one of the largest meat dealers
at the Head of the Lakes. That the
intention was to freeze the rotting
meat and then offer it for sale is the
belief of those who have looked into
the case. IT is said that the freezing
process would remove the smell to
large extent.
"Other reports of violation of the
ordinance that are sickening. have
reached the ears of DR.. Patton. Only
this morning prominent citizen
told him OF practices that are alleg-
ed to have been followed in some of
the commission houses. 1t is claim
ed that they cold veal very much
too i'm mature for consumption; that
the places were far from sanitary,
and that poultry and other meats
which have begun to spoil have
been treated to cover up the defects,
and then distributed to retailers for
sale.
THE department has jurisdiction
of the meats and poultry handled
in the commission houses of the
city, and they will be compelled to
keep their places clean and to quit
selling any products that are not
wholesome. The condemnation of
the thirty eight sheep is said to be
only the first step in campaign of
cleanliness and pure food, which
will be waged equally vigorously
against the commission houses as
we'll as the retail butchers.
&C. E. Van Dervort, manager of
the Macbeth-Gardner company, was
arrested this morning charged with
violating the health ordinance. He
entered plea of not guilty and his
trial was set for next Tuesday in
municipal court.
"Dr. Patton declares that the car.
cases condemned yesterday were
in a checking condition. Although
not timid, and not unused to un.
usual conditions, he stated that the
sight OF the sheep carcasses took
away all appetite which he might
have had for his dinner last even.
ing.
ut is said that the carcasses are
now being fixed up 80 that they can
be sold for fertilizing purposes."-

The St. Johns Literary association, organized Feb. 5. 1860, prior to the Civil war, and about a dozen years before any Catholic society now ex- isting in New London was formed, is planning to celebrate its golden jubilee on an elaborate scale which will in clude grand concert and ball in the state armOry on the night of Feb. and a banquet for the members and specially invited guests on the ami yersary night.
 This society, was organized for the purposes signified in its name by Rev. Patrick A. Gaynor, who was then pas tor of St. Johns church in Jay street, now tenement house. At that time Father Gaynor resided in State street in what was then known as the Hebron block, the part he occupied being sub sequently converted into a store He afterwards became the pastor of the then new St. Patrick's church in Tru man street, since converted into a up his residence on the opposite side of the street in one of the houses con- structed by the late Capt. c. Strong Holt who was afterwards drowned in Fishers Island sound
 Father Gaynor. the founder of St. Johns society, was transferred to Fair Haven and died and was buried there. He was succeeded by Rev. Bernard Pulley and Rev. Peter Grace as pastor of St. Patrick's church. Then came Rev. Edward A. O'Connor, who com menceQ the construction or the present St. Mary's Star of the Sea church, and whose remains now rest within that edifice. Father O'Connor was suc- ceeded by Rev. Michael Tierney who afterwards became bishop of the dio- cese of Hartford. Then came Rev. Patrick P. Labor, who was subsequent ly transferred to the pastorate of St. Mary's church in New Haven. He was succeeded by Rev. Thomas w. Broder- ick, who was transferred to St. Peters at Hartford, and then came Rev. Thomas P. Joynt who was pastor for over twenty-six years and who died recently. All of these pastors took great interest in the St. Johns society and aided materially in the success of the organization. Not one of these devoted priests who had charge of the Catholic church affairs in New London since the birth of the St. Johns society are spared to participate in the ob servance of the golden jubilee.
 The organization of the St. Johns society was effected in the old St. Johns church and the meetings were held there for many years. Not in the church proper, but in the ante-room,
