In Connecticut nnd Along the sound-Te Bosten, Plymouth nnd the Hemes of llir IMIitrlms. On the afternoon of Iho day following our return from the two days' expedition Seuth, we started northward by way of Philadelphia atid New Yerk, reaching New Haven, Connecticut, in time for n lale supper of steamed cln ins. The trip nleng the shore line is u very pleasant one, nnd we walked through the busy streets of New Haven thaljSatttrclny nlglit w 1th the feeling that If we Tied taken a long, quick Jump from home we found the siine geed old Saturday night at the end of it. The main street wero as crowded and brilliant asferth Queen street, Lancaster, en a Saturday evening, nnd leaving them quickly me oxplercd the irreunds and I the many buildings of Yale college. The wnoie group or buildings, old and I new shaded by stately elms and qf I varied architecture, gives nil im pression or solid worth nnd unlet dignity. The famous elms are grand old trees and they arc net mangled In the outrageous manner practised by many tree trimmer in Lancaster cyunty. Fi nally w e devoted ourattcntlen te the afore said clam supper, and became deeply in- teresieci in reducing our plies or clams in the shell. The clam Is twisted out with thumb and feiellnger, dipped in n hut butter broth and swallow cd. The operation is pleasant, pletuiesime, but neteleerant. As II a result of steamed clams we missed a through train and concluded te go en te Hnitferd te pass the night, thetmli dls- I' covcringteour horror that in thoslateof Connecticut trains aie net allowed te run en Sunday. Hnitferd is u very pleasant place te puss a v hele .Sunday, even when I ' bent en rapid travel. Of course the most striking rcature of the w hele city is the fa mous cnpitel building and park," but Hait Hait Hait fonlhasinauylengand wldeavenucs beimti fully shaded and lined with pleasant homes in well kept lawns. On the main streets are the heavy and strong buildings of In surance companies, and the lamiliar names of great manufacturing firms greet you at every turn. The city lias many churches, and of course, we attended sevcral. "The Church of the Heed "Shepherd " was faceti ously described by it natlve as "the hurcll of the holy revolver," and Is w 01 thy I ui un mint', ii ih iiiuii in modern geiiiic, or gray stone beautifully curved, and is a memorial chapel erected by Mrs. Celt te the memory of her husband, the inventor of the rcvolver. Over the entrances are light and graceful getliic arches, and in the curved ornaments of the south entranee are cut in stone the barrels, locks nnd all the parlB of thu Celt's lovelvor. The chambers and ccntreplu, nnd every screw and spring may be found by caicful scaich in some part of the carving, wliile higher up In the wall may be seen the completed weapon. The interior of the Iittle church Is ety beauti ful, with costly brass nnd metal work, tlaborate caning nnd windows of stained glass of richest color. The.Sundny school really forms a large wing of the building, but is separated from the church by a glass partition te the left of the chancel. Te the right of the chancel is a recess occupied by a sculptured marble group of three Iittle Celts who died in childhood, nnd the figures held befere them the bow 1 of a baptismal font. It is a very appropriate and beautiful memorial. On the outside of alargeurch window tilled with splendid stained glass, there is another scries of Ingeniously deviscd carvings in low relief; this time the cpiblcms of the crucifixion; the hammer, nails, spenge, spcai and crown of thorns. Driving about Hartferd later in the afternoon w e passed the soldleis' monument, a triumphal arch of striking and artistic design embellished with carving, and having all around the top a bread frieze of marching and fight ing troops. This is in the park and the magnificent capitol rises high against the cloudy sky beyond it. In its proportions and general eflect this build ing is very tlose te perfection, it it lias net achieved it ; nnd as a masicrpieee of arch itecture all Americaus have a right te feel proud of Connecticut's capital. Though far less costly, und cry small In cempari seu, It is mere beautiful and sti iking than the capital at Albaiiy. In our drlve around the city, we passed the pleisant and comfortable looking , home of Mark Twain, with its back deer te the street nnd and the building standing at an angle, w 1th the lawn nnd read en one slde and a weeded ravine en the ether. Charles Dudley Warner, General Franklin, Mrs. Celt and ether well known people lie in this pleasant shady town which we left in the very early meining by the "Valley line." This read fellows the Cenuctlcut liver te Saj brook Junction and thencowe travelled along the shores of the sound te New Londen. The journey down the river and along the sound is by veiy pleasant scencry.as. is usually the case in tr.u el near water. In the neighborhood of New Lon Len Lon eon there are many summer resorts where you can see everything in a few minutes or stay for weeks and make the days seem minute". The amusements ure bathing in heavy surf or still water, sailing, fishing, walking, talking, eating, sleeping and gazing at the beautiful laud, sky anil water. Te find the heavy surf and the fishing yutt must go te ene of the Islands facing the open sea at the sound's entrance, and many steamers of many sires are ready te take you te them. II you go, and must count yetu days, you had belter be careful te allow a margin of several In case of storm, ter when the gales aic wild the steamboats will net call te take you back te railieads again. We were caught and held in durance of most pleasant sort by heavy steims at Flshei's island, and when we steamed into New Londen harbor, tw e da s later, found sixty-two sailing vessels and three steam yachts riding at anchor and drying their palls in the meining sun. Thisspacleus and picturesque harbor is a favorite puit of refuge fur sailing craft and jaclits, the latter furnishing many patieus ler the Fequet Iieuki, at the harbor entrance. Hlght across the water from it is Fert Grlsweld, and a mlle upthosame shore stands a lefty shaft te the soldiers whose pdlantly defended the place against the Jlrltish. Away up the harbor near the town are the stoue rampaits of I'eit Trum bull perfectly useless as a defensive work but occupied by sevcral companies of artillery. Fitmi the Poqiiet house te New Louden there is a read along the sheie of the harbor and many charming summer homes uie built along this read overlooking the tme old harbor where nature seems te have tried hard te make a perfect site ler a gieat city 'a new Londen. Cnfertun it.ly nature and the founders of New Louden reckoned without the Frie canal, the railroads and the unbridgeable Hudsen, se New Yerk is great and New Louden little. Hut the lat ter is a charming old tow n, worth the close attention of any traveler. It has many (pialnt old houses, and very curious and crooked old streets as well as mere com cem com eortables and shady modern avenues. On a hlllslde overlooking th& harbor, and w:th houses all areuni it, U an Interesting old H)e l&ntfagttf 300. graveyard. The leaning marbles are messy and w eathrr-bcatcn, the grass lH long, and the low wall around the enclos ure Is crumbling with age,w hllc paths,v ell marked between the graves, show that the leople take short cuts through the place, going te and from their homes. It Is en a strep hillside, and ever the house tops of the street below you see the rolling land across the harbor, a glimpse of .the salt water and the masts and sails of ship ping. Yeu are standing by the gravestone of a sea captain w hit died in 1710, and all around are curious old sleucs.wlth antlipic memories about them. The graves of heroes of the French and Indian wars and the Involution, the graves of the many widows left by the brave tnarlncra. who made our Hag famous en the seas. And ev or t hese old stones hav e wept geed jioo jieo jioe ple, who wcre dead a century before ye.i wcre born und are lying somewhere under ether messy stones. Oh no, there is noth ing new or surprising In this ; but there is something wholesome , In n graveyard thought new and then, even In the" full sw Ing of summer travel. Like most New England towns. New Londen Is far ahead of Lancaster in the possession of an excellent library. It oc cupies a neat Iittle building adjoining the old graveyard en the hill.

The whele country" seems te be ene vast stene plie with a thin sprink ling of peer earth te step thev crack, and yet It has been laboriously farmed, and the loeso round stones en the surface are built into luugli walls, the main tenance of which is, te my mind, a gieat mystciy. The stenu walls of Lancaster county aie built or Hat stone, and yet they will fall down, while these New Kuglaud piles of round stones remain llnnly In position. The fields are very small ; and I noticed seme cattle tethered, possibly te prevent their upsetting the fences. The monument at Plymouth is a very imposing and dignified work of art, and the enthusiasm was se gieat, that I was surprised tetlud the event exciting se little notice eutside of New Kug laud.

Jlvneiabtc the Hilerl mid Cl)iiii (Vina. eihef the Cily n Istnairter; (In.Mi.KMKx: Yeu attention Is called te the very bad condition of the property known as the Rauck property. The ien ien steck which carries the water te the water wheel of the brick mill Is In such condition as will require immediate repair. The present jicnsteek has been in use forlie years. It lias been braced and stayed till the timbers have beceme se rotten that ordi nary repairs are no longer Hufilclcut. In the event or Its giving away, which is likely te occur at any tlme, the water would be drawn rrem the Hanck dam and thereby seriously endanger the water sup- tily at our new pumping station. The niildlug era penstock w euld necessitate the building of a coder dam. The vv hele work would mean an expense or probably J700. Necessary rcjalrs are also required te the loers or two or the dwelling houses, w hicli would cost an additional 8100. With these repaiis completed both mills would be in excellent condition and would net rcipihe moie than ordinary repairs for years. I would also ask that an appropria tion be luade for the purpese of having the east reservoir cleaned, which is in a very filthy condition. I most respectfully ask that action be taken In the matter referred te, and that an appropriation be made covering the ex penses of the work named, as the repairs te the Hanck mill are highly important te the safety of our water supply. The clean ing of the resci veir is equally be, fei the health and comfort or our citizens. Yours Very Respectfully, Euvvaiid Ldei:hm:v, Mayer, Chairman of the Water Committee. MO.NIiY ArrltOI'IUATKU.

Mr. Riddle prosented the petition or the Iarneastcr Street Railway company fei permission te place a tuiu-eut en North Duke street near Walnut. It was referred te the sticct committee. nui'OHT or siunin cemmittue. Mr. Riddle presented the repert of the street committee. The bids for macada mizing, sewers and paviiu: Duke street with asphalt blocks and the lecommenda lecemmenda lecommenda tlens of the commlttce have been pub lished. A motion was made by Mr. Wise te approvetho iccommcndatlensof the coin cein coin uilttce as te the awards for seweis and paving Duke street with asphalt blocks. Mr. Riddle opposed the adoption of the motion. He said that the recommendation of the commlttce as te the paving or North Duke street has caused some discussion ami feeling among the bidders. All claim te be competent weikiueu. In the com mittee meeting he voted against giving the contract te Hliidcu A. Fritchey. It is an important plece of work, and councils should go slew anil give it careful deliber ation. Hedid net take orseual consider ation into account. If he was building u house he would get tlie best workmen lie could find, and he thought councils should de the same. He had expected experienced men treni Philadelphia te be biddeis. He thought councils should de as the Phila delphia authorities de. The biddeis are there asked what exiiericnce they have had in the paiticular line of work they bid for, and If ihey had none the bid was net con sidered. He had nothing te say against Mi, 1 linden, who isa haul w erklng man, and he deserv es credit for being one. That he could net supKrt Hindcu .t Fritchey is nothing against them. Hiudeu A" Filtehey aie net equal te J. G. (jalbraith and de net pretend te be. Mr. Oalbraith has been doing tills kind or work for twcnty-tiveyeais, and he believed that gentleman te be the only man of the bidders competent te de the work. The law requires city officers te give the contract te the lowest bidders, but it alcu says the lowest and best. The idea oc curred te him that ovcrybedy would he satisfied if ene square was given te Hiiideu A- Fritchey, ene te Mr. Galbralth, and ene te 0tcr Brethers. When the weik was done the result would show who Is the best pavier. He moved te amend that the square en North Duke street, between Lemen and James and the diamond be awarded te Mr. tjalbraith at 2.C7 per squaie yard ; the square from Walnut te Lemen te Ostcr Hrethcrs at the same price and the square between Onmge i and Chestnut te Hindcu V Fritchey at the j same price, the work te be dene only after j the property holders guarantee fl,.V or square and the city railway cemjiany fiV). Mr. Haines was in favor of doing what the street committee had rccouiincuded j with only one dissenting voice give the contract te the lowest bidder.and lie thought councils were in honor bound, te de se.
