HAYTI ABANDONS NAVY.

New York, July 11-At last accounts
Hayti's new navy, just purchased from
Italy. was hard aground and abandoned.
The news was brought here yesterday by
The steamship Allemania of the Hamburg
American line, arriving from West Indian
ports.
The navy of the black republic consists
of the cruiser Umbria, renamed the An
tome Simon. According to the officers OF
the Allemania, 1t had set out from Port
au-Prince carrying the President, his staff
and large number Of followers 1t was
a gala occasion, and all that was needed
10 make it a gorgeous success was a COM
Ietent crew.
The vessel cleared the harbor before
breaking down. Then she proceeded to
drift. A tender which was following was
summoned to take off the President. and
It came alongside in such fashion as to
leave all of the headgear trailing In a
wreck oversize. The President and his
staff made more or less dignifled trans
fer to the half-wrecked tender. Immedi-
atey afterwards the naval hope of Hayti
was bestridng n coral reef off Gonaives.
She soon was half filled with water.
The Allemania took off the stranded
warriors and landed them at Cape Hay

Rope in Basement of Home.

Bellows Falls, July l0.-Between nine and
ten last evening the lifeless body Of
arthur y. Thomson was found suspended
to Il rope in the basement of his house.

entered the foundry as mOulder, from
which position he was put on the police
force and later was made chief of police.
Two years ago last fall he was elected

reelected to the same position last fall.

had wide acquaintance over the county.
He was also engaged in the lumber bust
ness, being associated with NeSsIs. Ray
and Sheparrson in extensive interests in
several towns adjacent 10 Bellows Fails.
Mr. Thomson was married, and leaves.
