The company now have a neat factory of thoir own. where they manu facture' their own pumps, aud, as -orders are still ahead of the sumlv. everything looks favorable for a successful business.

A Big Knit. The United States circuit court in Brooklyn is engaged upon the trial of a salt i.rvolvmg the validity of the patent for the invention known as the "American drive well."

Eminent counsel bnve been engaged bv the complainant, while the defumhitM are represented by ox Judge Shipman and Messrs. IWbinson ana wurnoroi me A Oellglitl'ul The Connecticut Western railroad has ar ranged for four excursions over its route, which will doubtless be very successful ones.

Tha Western road runs through a Count ry which is now said to very beautiful, the foliage on the mountain sides never having been brighter or more varied. The trains will leave the city at 10 a. and reach here at tt p. and those who go will have two hours to roam atiout the region of the lovely Twin Lakes and gather leaves and ferns. Two excursions win ne mane tnts weeic.

Those excursions will probably prove fully popular as those which ere inmlo in more heated weather. The Tramp Nuisance. The raid of tramps last winter in Hartford was extraordinary, surpassing in number any tbing before seen hereabouts; and it has been an exceptional occurrence that during tbe summer months the vagrant class has kept on its travel to a considerable extent.

Ordinari ly the police have not been applied to during the warm to give shelter to vagrants, ho have secured lodgings it the open air, under trees and hedge; but during tbe sum mer months this year about Ave hundred tramps were given lodgings in the station house. Already the winter armv is on in move, and the indications are that we shall have e-en more of the troublesc me f-llow around than appeared here last winter. How to get rid of them is a serious question; the legislature of this year vainly endeavored answer it a law was enacted which ennbles anv perron to comjiel labor for food or lodgings ur-rushed. under the penalty of arrest aud inionson- ment: but it will lie nracticaliv adead letter, tie- cause few people will take thti trouble to enforce it. And, li enlorcetl, these are no proper bouses of correction or workhouv-s in win compulsory labor may enforced to advan tage.

in this county if there were a work house, such as tbe county, under legislative authority, has the right to iocitte, the case would different: out the only recourse the county jail, and the trouble is that the tramiis themselves have tafaen a lfking to it be cause of it good accommodations, aud on the whole prefer to go there, in many casee, rather than lx-ar the hardship tin uncertainties oi the roa'L Something must be don Con Bs ticut to remedy existing evils. Massachu setts is fortified such legislation that a the traiiis ho pass through this state may sent hack by rail to raid here. York sup plies the greater portion of the tramps, and le- twecn these two states Connecticut occupies at nresent a helpless posiLiou. there have been so far this full ntuner'-ais crime committed by tramps in various parts of the state, and, as the state iteelf gives no protection beyond gen eral laws for the punishment or crime, it wu. be well for every householder to lie weii forti fled for the protection ot bis life and propert if occasion calls for deadly resistance.

TiiOt BLE IS EAST H.iliTFOllD. A Constable Healsied-Tliree Fellow Arrested. Yesterday afternoon as Mr. Samuel nedy, ho lives in Burnside, was proceeding to his home he was evidently followed by three Phelps noticed a strange man in his wagon with him, and as Mr. Kennedy is over eighty year of age, thought from the fellow's movements thst something was wrong and hailed him.

The su fweted party intimated that eighty was all right, a he wag a friend of tbe old man, but Phelps did not believe it and proceeded to make a further examination, when the fellow ran awav. but soon after returned with his two companions and pitched Into Puelps; whereupon Justice Rood went to the constable's assistance and was roughly handled, being considerably bruised in the face. Pheljii meanwhile got a chair from tbe store near by and wuh that brought tne fighters to terms and got them handcuffed and brought them to this city in a wagon. Just before reaching the station house one of the rascals broke hsjse ami got in the rear of Kohn's building, from winch he was brought out under a threat that if ho did not show himself a pistol shot, would be fired at him. The names of the party are Dominick Mahou, John Daley, and James Smith.

They have been at work on the Connecticut Central road, and came to Hartford yesterday for a spree. THE VHIUH DEPOT. Enlarzlng the Asylum Street Ntallon Important Improvement to be iylade In tbe aprlng. The permanent location of a uuion passenger depot at the present point between Asylum and Church streets was long ago assured, though for a time there was considerable talk about establishing a station for all the roads above Windsor street, which place has been selected for freighting business, and will become in time extensively occupied. The attraction of business to Asylum street, and later to Allvn and some of the cross streets, in consequence of the situation of the depot, has built up such vast proiierty interests that a removal would be disastrous, aud moreover the location is such that it gives admirable accommodations to the traveling public.

But the depot has long been of insufficient capacity. esieciaUy since the now roads have run their trains into it, and it has been necessary to ruu many of the trains of the consolidated road outside, where the platform is narrow and there is no shelter in case of storms. It was the intention of the consolidated road to make improvements this fall, bub tbe work of the year at New Haven took so much time that it has beeu decided to begin ea-ly hi tbe spring. This road owns only one-half of the depot fthe cast side and cannot therefore improvethe whole structure, though it is probable that the plans upon which the changes are to be made will tie adopted by tbe Hartford and Providence road, the owners of the west side, when that road gets ready to put money into repairs. The plans for the improvement are now fully completed, and proposals will scon be asked for from bidders.

As whatever is done mast be with a view to make tbe present building, so far as it will, answer since tbe coi'sper-ation of both roads would be necessary to tear down at once and rebuild the improvements which tbe consolidated road would be glad to make will be necessarily curtailed; though no expense is to be spared to do the best thing, and, on tbe whole, the work. wheA completed, will be acceptable to the public. There will be a platform twenty feet wide outside of the present east wallof tbe building, extending the whole of the distance which the platform now occupies, and at ea-jh end there ill be an extension north to Church street and south to Asylum street. All below and above the present building will be under cover, having at each end a platform fifty feet in width; the entire length of platform between the two streets being seven hundred feet, or only one hundred feet short of the platform atXew Haven, which it will very much resemble. There is to be the same general style of architecture in the roof work and pillars (these of iron, instead of wood) and also in the ornamentation as at New Haven, and the outside appearance of the structure will be very attractive.

The extension of the roof will be sufficient to render the whole platform weather-proof, so that passengers can get on or off the trains without exposure to storms. In order to accommodate the present outside track to the new arrangement, it will lie swung about fifteen feet to tbe east from where it now crosses Asylum street, and that will necessitate a slight hange in tbe gate. The internal plans of the depot will be in accordance wita the increaaed accommodations outside. At each end baggage rooms will be supplied, so that persons entering north will have their baggage left at tha north end, and those going south at the south end. This will do away with any occasion for running trucV which has long been a nuisance.

Tbe waiting-rooms will be very considerably enlarged, and tbe refreshmotit room will be brought down to the ground floor. All the rooms will be lighted from above. All trains south will run as now inside of the depot, but the changes to be made will afford much better accommodations as to room on the inside platform. The improvements all told will cost about twenty-five thousand dollars. OTI eOTEflSMEST LAST Ef ESIS0.

LETFEHS FUOU Till! PEOPLE, Katlng Before Slceplilic A Laaaon from experience. To the EolTOR of The Courakt: I noticed a few days since an article in Thi Cocrakt recommending eating before sleep ing, and as the idea so accords with my views and experience in the matter, I cannot but consider it a sound doctrine. For eight years my "calling" has turned night into day, sending me home at about tbe family breakfast time, with an appetite sharpened by more than a half a day's active work and during those eight years it has been my almost inva liable custom to eat a good hearty meal be fore retiring for my night's sleep; and, though on the shady side of life so far as years are concerned, I certainly never enjoyed better health. Occasionally arriving home at an unusually early hour I have retired without eating, but have found that sleep is not so con tinued on an empty stomach as when well nlled. And besides, 1 years ago learned a les son from the brute creation.

Nature teaches all animals to he down and sleep after eatine- an 1 why not man? Of course intempcraTice in eating is at ill times pernicious, and late sup pers ror wie sue of emino no less so, yet consider a eeod comfortable meal much pref erable to going to bed hungry. And then, again, experience will soon teach one what and bow much he should eat, Buckwheat cakes will make almost anybody see his grandmo ther. H. "Tbe Uoldcn Hale."

11. Valve or tub ri II.OISU The editorial in ina Coi'BANf this morning by a comparison of tbe assets of the in surance company in 1471, at the. time, the builuing was begun, with tbe present assets, showed that there could not have been over $250,000 expended in roastriiclioni unletis kind-hearted and benevolent person "chipped in" to give the widows and orphans interested in the affairs of the company a lift; yet tbe building is reckoned as an "asset" now at a valuation of It will interest those who have assets to accumulate to be informed of some of the methods by which property which cost can be Invested success fully at twice its ccsi. When the building as decided upou, brick were contracted for at (in a thousand. Before it was entirely finished sxick were sold at 12 a thousand.

Now, it the brick hud not been bought when the bin lug was l.cgun, but bud been bought after it was finished there would have been no building, to be sure, but there would have been ti n.ore a thousand expended for brick. and therefore on the presumption that a tiling is worth all it might have cost life extra price of brick is added to the value of the building as an available asset for the survivors or de ceased policy holders in this company. If brick had onlv gone np to JO a thousand by some "corner" in them, the building to-day would rate at three-fourths of a million and the company would ierhaps be entirely sol vent. hat is true of hrica is true of 4omiMr, which was boiurht in Maine when worth 1 40 a thuusund in New Haven. What was saved by bu vine in Maine is added as a testimony to the economy of the company in getting the lowest price abroad without interfering with the lumber tariH in Now Haven in the computation of cost of construction.

What was saved by not pavmg what might have I rcn paid lor tiru-a and lumber, would have built another build- intr verv like the present one; but 1 presume that the comiiany couiu not nnij leasea lana aliove arrouna upon wnicu to erect tue imagitv arv sir net in and so put it all in to appreciate the value of a roal asset. It is a little singular that the first statement submitted by the company to the insurance department, after the building was completed, the building item was inc u.itsl at t-iMUJ. raising it omy 01 10 over the cost; but it is possible list the extra Hou.ooo, to bring it up to fVSJ.OOi), was thought of after Mr. Hperry, director and a liMer. had had time, as LoL Wrisrhtsuijeested the other ilav.

FAIR HAVE WATER C0MPAST, The hearing lie fore Judges Park and Foster was resumed to-cay, and Mr. N'nves gave his opinion of the value of rair tiaven water susk, which has no market value because none of the stock is offered. 1 he revenue is very slitrht.

but the company has trreatexpectations, luu head water is sucli lust there win be no need of fire steamers in Haven; water motors can be ruu aud a cotfee dealer has one in operation now the quality of the water is the best in the United Considering the possibilities of the company, Mr. Novo said tho stock is worth a good dal more tnan par. Mr. T. E.

Doolittle who holds 1'JO shares thought the stocic worth considerably above psr. Mr. T. S. Maltbie, tho larewst holder of stock, said the stock bad no market value but la Intrinsically worm at least par.

On the cross examination it nnrred that tt whole stock is tlM.ouo. and Mr. Maltbie holds tbe indebtedness is about mostly owed to Maltbie and Mr. barireuU The wkness rather reluctantly aiuuilted that recently a mortgage for on the prop erty hail tieon executeiL the object being issue bo'ids to pay off the present floaliug in debtedness and extent! the work.

Mr. Maltbie' testimony on the cross-examin ation developed some peculiar facts as to bis connection with the life insurance company, lue book show that he is a stecktiolilcr to tu amount of fifty sbares; that a considerable number of sliares have Iwen transferred to him and by him transferred to others. He denied that he was ever a stock holder, or had authorized any one to subscribe for him, and did not know that be was a sut scriber till the former trial of this case He was elected a director also without his knowledge. The apparent subscription In his mime was wholly bonus. He never admitted any liability by a sub scription co the stock, and said now that he was not at all liable.

Its array of names of prominent persons already committed to the approval of the general idea is convincing evidence, and surprising to those who have not ponsiiiered the subject, of the Importanc that It has already assumed. ClIRlltTtAX V.VtOX. The discussion which is to toke place at the Memorial church in fprlngfleld this evening, is both a result and art indication of a growing feeling among the members of whatare called Evangelical churches for a union into one general church. Little by little this desire has grown.

At first those who favored it were somewhat timid In their expressions. Now and then a clergyman has suggexted that at some time in the future, the coming rogother of all dunoiuiuiition might ba a reality. The movement ha made great a Ivanc.s within a few years, however, and to-day the number of those, who hope for it is almost equalled by the number of those who believe that it will be speedily effected. No country, whatever its general religious belief, has ever bad so many sects who were only distinguished by different forms in the expression of that belief as ours. This peculiarity Is probably a result of the somewhut crude notions of democracy which have been more and more refined as the nation has grown older.

Taine in his history of English literature, makes an incidental allusion to this matter, and cites the division of the Protestant church in the United Suites as one example of the effect of a demo cratic form of governineut in its early days. Tnere are livins now young men who were brought up under the influence of one denomination, who were taught in their youth that the Influences of other denominations were harmful. As we have learned that democracy has extremes which must be avoided, it has followed as a very natural result that we are coming to regard those (Kiiiits of other denominations, upon which all can agree, as a basis upon which all can unite, and to that extent strengthen what is after all a common religion. The gentlemen who will to night discuss the matter will probably admit that there are two ways of reaching the end. One, by a general movement among the churches, the result of one or more great councils; the othi-r by the more undemonstrative method, which the Memorial church in Springfield, Mr.

Murray's new church In Boston, the Congregational church in New Milford in this state, Professor Swing's In CbicagM, and others, have adopted. These have taken the lead in dropping all in their creeds or forms which differ from those of any denomination, and simply basins' membership upou a be lief in God and Christ. Other churches will fall into line, one by one, and as the younger generation comes forward the number of new churches so formed would very rapidly increase. This last method in its growth would hardly be noticed. The revolution accomplished by it would be perhaps the more natural, as it would be entirely unforced, and would grow no faster than there was call for it to grow.

The fusion of denominations into one great church would in all probability, if the first method be deem -d the wiser, be accomplished only after much friction. The agitation of the subject shows a general interest in it, and the discussions to-night, from the character and ability of the gentlemen who are to take part, will be read and mnde the basis of a great deal of further discussion throughout the country. Fersosal Joursausm. A brother editor in New Haven, alluding to the falliulium, calls it the "postmaster's organ" and styles Its edi' tor "a worthless cur," a "snarling pnppy," and an "unpriuciplod tool of the ring," neither "manliners nor honesty," but a plenty "impudent Impertinence based upon ignor ance of a proper discharge of editorial duties." That will answer for a vry clever borne esti mate of the fellow; but such personalities ought to be avoided, even though they have a basis of fact. namp- sbire, is in about the most uncomfortable and perilous position of any man in the country.

If he is guilty it is all well and good that his sin should find him out after long trial and intense suspense. But supposing him to be an innocent man, his predicament is altogether pitiful. Thousands of people, aroused by a crime of unique cruelty, suspect him of it. Hundreds, if not thousands, are roaming about over the place where the crime was committed and all are searching fur evidence to convict Drew. How easy for some one out of so many, for the guilty man, say, to manufacture a little circumstantial evidence, to drop a handkerchief or a stocking, or some other token by which Drew should lie proved to have been on the ground before! Excitad men have felt it a duty before to-day to help the cause of justice when it seemed too weak to maintain itself, and out of the mistuken real for having the horrible crime avenged it is among the possible that some fictitious evidence may be brought out there, perhaps, enough to convict a man.

This is the dunger that hangs over Drew if he is innocent. His safety is imperiled by every one of the angry crowd that are now bunting for proofs ugninst him. Tbe particulars of the crime itself seem to indicate that ft must have been the work of a crazy man and not a self, possessed and quiet person. Under tbe cir cumstances, rash conduct in New Hampshire bids fair to produce as bad results as tbe recent lynching outbreak did at tbe west. It is time enough to hang Drew when he is proved guilty.

To-day is the first anniversary of the death of the Keverend Francis P. McFarland, bishop of Hartford. A gentleman whose loss to the city and state was of no ordinary magnitude, and who left a fragrant memory in tbe minds of all who enjoyed his acquaintance. His residence in this city was brief aud his last few months of life were months of serious illness, on which account his acquaintance was not as extended among our citizens as he or they could have wished. Yet during hit short time here, he endeared himself to very many besides his own flock.

We do not intend to speak now of his eclesiastical merits, which were truly appreciated by his people of Hartford who entertain to-day a belief in his sanctity as the inhabitants of Assist did for another Francis eight centuries ago. The testimony of bis people, his priests, and his brother bishops is singularly uuaniuious to the virtues that eminentlv fitted him for the varied cares. duties and responsibilities of the episcopacy. All tnose were eviueni even to mose not or In church, but beside these he was possessed of raeutat qualities of the high-r. order.

His preaching was a rare intellectual treat. Dig- mtieq appearance, ne ueveiojiea on closer acquaintance a social warmth and genuine hospitality rarely surpassed. The value of such men to their church cannot lie overesti mated. Tbers is little danger of his memory failing from the minds of the present generation In this city, and unless the Roman Catholics of Hartford prove ungrateful and ungenerous, the grounds of St. Joseph's conveut will soon be adorned by a suitable statue that will perpetuate his memory to succeding generations.

THIS MATTKR OF HPKLLlSfJ. Tha dissatisfaction with the present method Of selling the language that we speak is not confined to this country, but is being expressed with far more vehemence in England than here. The truth is, everybody who uses English is aware of it unnecessary defects. Who Is not ashamed of a misspelt word, and will not blush at having his mistake made public? And yet, who can spell correctly We twit a man upon his illiteracy if bis correspondence any deviation from the arbitrary rules alter erott roans: "TeuS'Uv, Nov. smth.

fioocioty met at its nsnal noar. tfovi" paid up tti nsiiaareuu on nis n.ts. lrjnsiit Jeffrey, jlulrbead, etu. Ncuciety adjourned." The men who would blush to be compared to Hcott are few, but, Judged merely by this fragment, Hcott was an illiterate fellow, and illiteracy is a disgrace. There are two ays to avoid illiteracy.

One Is to learc, and remem-lier, to spoil correctly according to modern requirement every word of the language that one may need; the other Is to so change the requirement that instead of each word being arbitrarily fixed, there may be established rules according to which words in their classes Khali be spelled and a simplilled and attnlnuble method be secured. It is not necessary to jsjint out that the first way of avoiding illit eracy is a failure. Livery man knows for himself that he can Swll, but every man also knows the multitude of errors that creep into the letters he receives. He is conscious that the people as a people cannot spell correctly. And yet the time that is spent In this effort is the s-reater part of that devoted to education.

A pamphlet by Mr. E. Jones of England, or thirty years a school master, has been lately Issued in London addressed to Lord Sandon, the vice president of the committee of council on education, on this subject. Its exhibition of the waste and failure of the present system cif spelling Is worth attention. In Engluud and Wales about 400,000 children every year pass from school age to labor age, and from the flementary schools to the workshops.

Of these, by the oflicial reports, it appears, one in thirty is nble to "read with fluency and write a short letter," one In ten Is able to read from a newspajier and spell by dictation; and one in six is able to read and sjiell from a school book. With all tha rest the whole of their school teaching has failed to accomplish even as much as this. More than this, only fifteen out of every hundred of the scholars passing out of mich school have any knowledge at all beyond "the three R's" so long has been the delay caused by the attempt to master our arbitrary upelling which is the only wsy at present to further knowledge. As the pamphlet says, 'with a tolerable consistent alphatiet a revolution would at once be effected in elementary education in Kngland. If symbol aud sound ran In parallel linos the change produced in educational processes and result would be not less astonishing than the change brought about In locomotion by tha introduction of railways and steam engines, or by the electric telegraph In the transm'ssion of Think of bow much farther studies conid (irosecuted in the sams length of time if reading and writing, the modern key to all knowledge, could be accurately acquired In one or two years' study Instead of never fully attained in a life time, and requiring Dearly all the school period for that InetTectnal effort.

The pamphlet snmtnarise the faulta of the reseut system as consuming nearly all the available school time of the children of the mass of the population; as a serious drawback to tha middle and upper classes; as a formida ble barrier to the extension of the English language and literature among foreigners; and as lieinz nnhisfortc, unscientific, contrary to fpKxl tarte and common sense, aud at variance with the fundamental principle of alphabetical unity, the object of which is to represent the sound of words by tetters. The crest aut-stion is how to improve. We have slid from the usage of the time of Chan cer to that of the present by a series of changes, some of which have been goi 1 and some bad. How now to come out from where we are to a logical and defensible positlou Is the puzzle. Many schemes are offered, some going even far as to propose new letters for the alpbalwt.

and other such radical changes. But these go probably beyond what a safe conservative spirit would tolerate. The Jones pamphlet luys it down that the new spelling should diverge as little as pnestbl from the present and still be regular; that the most common sound houl be accepted as the sound of a letter or combinj ation; and that the effort should be to retain the present pronunciation.
