The drawing which is for the benefit of the Connecticut state district of the order will take place in New-Haven Saturday, January 2. Fifty years ago last Sunday occurred what is remembered by every Irishman old enough as the "big wind." It extended over the whole of the Emerald Isle and laid waste the farm houses and forest. Many of the older Irish residents of this city remember the event and reckon their ages by it. The Women's Kelief corps of the Grand Army has become one of the most important charitable institutions in the country and its work is rapidly increasing in value and inlluence. The president of the Connecticut depart ment, Mrs Uurtee of Kockvilie, who has proved a most efficient officer, has issued orders for the sixth annual convention which will be held in New Britain Jan-nary 30 and 31.

Reduced rates have been secured over the New York and New England road. Yesterday afternoon just before o'clock the sky presented a strange appearance and some of the citizens remarked the peculiar greenish gray appearance that was developed just previous to the earthquake in the fall of 1834. One lady who saw the sky yesterday said at the time that she would not be surprised tVhear that there had been an awful cyclone somewhere in he country. As if in verification of this prediction, news came last night by telegraph of the terrible tornado in Reading and other cities in Pennsylvania. The peculiar appearance of the sky lasted until dark.

A subscriler writes to the Democrat concerning the Standard Oil company and declares that property owners in the Brooklyn district should fight hard against the location there of a refinery or distributing station. The tract of land purchased by the company is a large one containing seven or eight building lots and it is believed that the oil men intend to go into the business in Waterbury on a large scale. The terrible stencli of an oil factory will do more to impede the growth of Brooklyn than almost anything that can be thought of and it is to be hoped that the company can le induced to locate in the meadows lelow Simousville. Jennie Freeman was to all appearances happy and at peace with the world as she walked into the court room by the side of Officer Dodds this morning, although she was charged with drunkenness and also with being a common prostitute. Jennie is a colored woman and has a police record containing as many items as a plumber's bill.

Twice she has escaped from the town house. The police have leeii watching for her several days, having leen informed that she had returned to her old haunts. Yesterday afternoon she was arrested by Officer Reid and gave him the light of his life before being locked up. Judge Bradstreet inflicted a sentence of days in jail for being a common prosti tute and 30 days for drunkenness with costs in each case. A terrific sou'easter was blowing and the rain swept in great sheets across the open space near the soldiers' monument hvst night as a weather beaten pilgrim, singing an obsolete ditty slowly wended his way toward the center.

An umbrella handle to which was attached several ribs rendered naked by the fury of the storm gave him an air of respectability above the average tramp. Just as he reached the center of the green the wind gave a terrific howl and a small bough of one of the noble elms standing guard over the band stand with a crash descended striking the wanderer full upon the head. An ordinary mortal would have been stunned by the blow, but not so the tourist. There was a momentary intermission in his song but that was all. Fifteen minutes later he called for best spare room in the station house.

the A Millionaire Lunatic. The recent removal of William tne insane millionaire, to a private asylum in Middletown, N. recalls the sad history of hi career, which was formerly well known hereabouts. His home was in Stonington and it was here that insanity manifested itself, owing partly to overstudv and mrtltto grief at his mother's death He escSned 10 years ago from an asvlum in Providence, but was recaptured in the Metropolitan later in New York, where he shot dead a policeman, when the latter came in his room to investigate some trouble between Pahner and the negro bell boy. For this act Palmer was sent to the Auburn asylum for life.under an indictment for criminal lunacy, but his friends have recently secured his re lease to the private asvlum.

Fire Commissioner 1 nomas Kellv is not in favor of locating one of the fire engines in the north end of the city and gives some substantial arguments in support of the position he takes in the premises.

To begin with he claims that it takes fifteen minutes to make steam in the engines, and this being the case there is not a hill in Waterburv that cannot be reached bv the steamers located as thev are now, before enough steam can be generated to le of any service. In the case of a fire on Hillside avenue Sunday night, which is being used for all it is worth as -an argument in favor of a company on the Kelly claims that although the engine was an un usually long tune in reaching the scene of operations, it was upon the ground several minutes before wing of any ser vice, for lack of steam. Mr Kellv uses nothing but terms of praise in speaking of the fire department, hut cannot mm adjectives enough to ex press himself in regard to the lnuml of water commissioners and their treat en of the fire board. If they will only furnish us plenty of water and good hvdrants. he savs.

we will guarantee to render good service at any lire in any section of the town, lhe nuts upon nianv of the hvdrants have leen broken and "when approached upon the matter the water commissioners have always turned a deaf and haughty ear. Last winter manv of the hvdrants were frozen and rendered useless. In conclusion Mr Kelly expressed him self emphatically in favor ot having the engineers of both steamers report for duty at all fires, lhe other day he saw one of the engineers, who is a mechanic in the employ of the Farrell foundry, re pairing the Riverside cemetery gate.over a mile awav from the center. Had an alarm of lire sounded he would have con sumed valuable time getting to his en gine. and lor that reason, lhe commis sioner says, the other engineer should always be on hand as an emergency man AFTER MANY MONTHS.

The Layout of south Riverside street to 15o Changed. At the adjourned meeting of the road commissioners held last evening, i om- missioners Chipman, Coughlan am Fitzpatrick were present. In the absence of Mavor Houghton Mr Coughlan was chosen to preside. The business of th meeting was to decide whether a 40 or 33 feet street should be ordered for the new layout of South Riverside street Mr Chipiuan stated that he had talkee with Judge Andrews a few days ago. who said that the New York New-England railroad company could not be compelled to pay two-thirds of the cost unless a 33 feet street was ordered.

If a 40 feet street should be opened the cost would le a great deal more and the railroad people would not be compelled to pay it. Mr Chipiuan favored a 40 feet street, but there would be a great many disadvantages. He moved that the board order a 33 feet street and the motion was carried without any objections. The question of sidewalks for the street was brought up and an eight feet walk ordered laid on the west side. Mr Fitzpatrick called the attention of the board to the miserable condition of the crossw alks around the center and urged the necesity of having them cleaned as soon as possible.

The board then adjourned. Mils HEPIM.E'S Her Heirs Are Not Satllled iind Ace to Break It. Trylnss The relatives of Mrs Mary Hepple, the old woman who was burned to death on Grand avenue, New Haven. Deeemlter 2 1. with their counsel.

Green Kendrick of Waterbury, appeared in the probate court yesterday and began their attempt to prevent Mrs Hepple's will from going into effect. Mrs Hepple in her last will and testament said she owued 2.000 worth of Northampton railroad stock, some New Haven Water company stock, and also had a mortgage on the Grand avenue property in which she lived. She left it all to her niece, Mrs Meeks of Milford. The' contestant. Miss Alice Ford of Waterbury, a niece, wishes to break the will on the ground that the testatrix was not of sound mind and memory when she made it- Mrs Alice Ford of this city and Agnes Smith of No 70 street, Ne Haven, also nieces, said that they had called upon Mrs Hepple within two or three months of her death, and that she didn't know them.

She acted eccentric and out of her mind. She used to polish tho stove and dl other things peculiar which led them to believe their aunt was out of her mind. The hearing was continued for one week. I'nusutil Dlvoive lrocetdInss. One of the novel petitions prepared for presentation to the legislature is that of George H.

Beard, of Milford, who asks the legislature to divorce him from Mary E. Beard. He makes known that his wife has been insane for years. and tbat he has faithfully supported her both in an insane retreat and later while she has been living with her father. Benjamin Wheeler of Stratford.

Her parents are well able to support her and themselves. Mr Beard savs. and their property will bo hers at their death. He thinks, therefore, that thev should sup port her, and that he, yet a comparatively young man (only 40) should be re leased Irom the marriage tie. Ho can only get relief from the legislature (the original divorce court of Connecticut) as the courts cannot divorce on the ground of insanity.

Columbus will in all probability se cure Donnelly of Washington as a thin baseman. Manager Buckenberger wanted to sign Johnson of the Kansas Citys. but Manager Watkins asked 3,000 for his release. Returning Good ftr Evil. A strange scene occurred the other day at Sierck, on the Mraelle.

Herr Schmidt bad a dog which he wished to get rid of. Rowing out into too middle of the fiver, he fastened a stone round the dog's head and threw him into the water. The animal sank at once, but during his struggles the tope slipped the stone, and he again rose tm the surface and tried to get back into the boat. Ilia master, however, continued to pusls him back, but as the dog persevered he lost Ms patience, and, striking at him with his oar. lost his footing and fell into the water himself.

Ho was unable to swim, but the dog, nixing him by the coat, succeeded In bringing him to the land, after having been washed away by the cur rent. The dog's me waa spared, we art happy to say.

The little town of Fairfield has the distinction of furnishing the two men who will be the most prominent in the house Mr Perry in the chair and Mr Glover on the floor. The latter will probably le chairman ot the judiciary committee. Those who ill aid him iu doing the talking on his side of the house have not yet come to the front. There are some good talkers on the democratic side with reputations already acquired.

The most prominent are Hyde of Hartford, Graves of Litchfield and O'Neil ot Waterburv Estimates for appropriations for state expenditures for the two fiscal years commencing July 1, liS9, have been prepared. The total, including interest on state bonds, is $3, 233, 790 The estimated state receipts for the two years ending July 1, 1889, are Of this total "$1, 300,000 are expected from the tax on railroads, from a state tax on towns of one mill, 460,000 each from mutual insurance companies and savings banks, from the military commutation tax and 152,000 from tax on non-resident stock. The gavel which Speaker Perry will use is ot historical interest, it was used by Mr Perry's father, who was speaker of the house of 1859, and has been in the family since. It is smaller than the gavels used by speakers in recent years. but will serve the purpose quite as well.

It is a relic that is highly cherished by the speaker of the present who vanes it as an heirloom and a memento of his father. Xl'TMEU ti RATIXUS.

One of the hardest fought battles that ever took place in Connecticut occurred in a shed in a quiet part of the town of Stamford yesterday, the principals of which were Johnny Clark and Joe Fox, otherwise known as Fox the Slugger. The fight was witnessed bv about half dozen sporting men, and was Avon by rox in the seventeenth round. Villiam Igo, a local -sport, was the referee. The light was with two-ounce gloves, Queens-berry rules, for a special purse. The Baltimore club is negotiating for Joe Ilornungof the Boston club, Pitcher Barr of Rochester, and Short Stop Pickett of St Paul, and the probability is that all will be secured, with perhaps the exception of Pickett, who demands 2,000 a very high salary.
