Darkness Thought to

Famous dark days have occurred in
history when great fear seized the
people because of abnormal darkness
in the middle Of the day. May 10,
1880, is famous as "Black Friday" or
"The Dark Day" in the history Of New
England. Schools were dismissed,
work ceased, barnyard fowl went to
roost, ordinary print could not be read
at noon without artificial light, and
candles were lighted. Many over-con-
scientious people thought the Day Of
Judgment had arrived. The Connect
cut legislature, which was in session
at Hartford, adjourned at II a.. It
is related that in the council, which
was also in session on that day, mo.
ton to adjourn having been made.
Col. Abraham Davenport Of Stamford
rose to his feet and said: II am
against adjournment. Either the Day
of Judgment is at hand or 1t Is not. If
it Is not, there is no cause for adj
journment. II it is, wish to be found

At the outbreak of the Mexican war
he was chief engineer and superin-
tendent Of the Allegheny Portage rail-
way. He helped to recruit the Second
Pennsylvania volunteer regiment, in
which he became lieutenant colonel
and served through the war. After
the capture of the Mexican capital he
was promoted to colonel and was
placed in command Of that city.
Later he settled in San Francisco.
where, in 1S49, he was appointed the
first American postmaster. In 1855 he
was appointed by President Pierce as
territorial governor Of Kansas. At the
beginning Of the Civil war he raised
the Twenty-eighth. Pennsylvania vol
unteer infantry, of which he became
colonel. In 1862 he was made brig
