A power boat was found floating in the Thames river off Scotch Cap early Saturday morning, and the find devel- ops a mystery, for in the boat was a coat and hat. Who the owner of the boat is for how she came to be adrift is ot known. The boat was found by Charles Sera- fin of New London, who is summering at Scotch Cap. Before daylight he heard a power boat on the river. A few minutes later the engine stopped. Mr. Serafin gave the incident no furth- er thought until later, when he saw a motorboat adrift a short distance from shore. On the seat-of the deserted boat was a man's hat and coat. The police were notified. The supposition is that the boat was moored somewhere along the river with the painter not securey tied, and that the craft was carrried into mid- stream by the tide. It is among the possibilities that the occupant might have fallen into the river. A day or two should confirm or deny this tehory, for in that time the owner of the boat should be seeking its recovery, A Burglar's Mistake, A New York burglar, dead broke, is preparing to leave the profession.

CENTRAL LABOR SNION TOPOOPERAYE WITH FAIR Labor Day Falis on the Opening Day Arranged by Agricultural Society. At a special meeting last week, the Norwich Central Labor Union accepted the proposition of New London County Agricultural society by which the Cen- tral Labor union cooperates with the fair management in the sale of tickets for Labor day and will share in the receipts from ticket sales for that day.

When he was here at the time of the 250th celebration, he gave the promise that he would come here again this year, and,the labor men are much interested in hear- ing him speak in Norwich again. SURVEY NEARLY COMPLETED. Trolley to Old Mystic Seems to Assured. Survey for the proposed trolley line to Old Mystic, which was stopped last week by the rainy weather, w: resumed Monday, ana it is expected will be zompleted bv the end of the week or perhaps a little later. The new road is now regarded as a sure thing, although of course there will be the usual delays in'the acquireinent of the nessary land from property owners, where the road is planned to leave the highway. ‘This will be necessary for but a small part of the line, and is to be done to avoid the hill just- before going into the age at the head of the river. The line will traverse,pri- vate property at the Holland place, the property of Dr. Gray, the Amos Taylor place and one or two others near Old Mystic. There is quite an incline along there, both coming ifi and going out of the village, and by avoid- ing the highway the line all the way from Mystic can be made nearly level. Coming into Mystic village the traks will be laid down Broadway, as now planned, joining the Groton and Stonington tracks at the Soldiers’ monument -and leaving them at the corner of Broadway and Washington streets, and - thence to the Mystic freight depot. Carloads of coal and other freight will be hauled over the line from the Mystic dopot right through to the mill at Old Mystic, By avoiding the grade at Langworthy hill near Old Mystic it will e possible to take care of both the freight and passenger traffic. without the use of a feed wire, which would add consid- erable to the expense of maintepance. Actual work of construction will be commenced as soon as possible this fall and there is a possibility of the new line being In ‘operation before winter. Old Mystic people are most of them well pleased at the prospect of impraved trafic condi ons, Held Sunday at Home of William Church in Montville. A reunion of the O'Hrien family was held on Sunday at the residence of William Church in Montville.

J. Bleake- ly of Topeha, or Mrs. James G. Bar- clay of Buffalo, the woman who adopt- ed the batby and now is held on a charge of kidnapping_the child.

This latest fight for custody of the child is entirely apart from the kid- napping charge. No matter what_the outcome of the kidnapping case Mrs. Barclay, her attorneys say, will con- tinue her fight for the child. A Notice from the Pulpit. As the minister reads from his pulpit notices of church fairs, church suppers and other purely religious entertain- ments, so Speaker Banks recently from his rostrum in the house at Hartford announced that a certain play was to be given at a theater in that city on a certain evening and that the members were Invited- to attend—"at so much per,” we presume.

In_his report to the Grand Army of the Republic, at its national emcamp- ment at Sait Lake City, Utah, last Thursday, Henry M. Nevius, the re- tiring commander in_chief, spoke of the great cordiality with which he had been greeted on his tour of the south- ‘ern departments. of the Grand Army, and expressed the opinion that “were it not for those who did not participate in the great struggle, but who are still laboring to keep alive the lost cause, there would be no difficulty in cement- ing the bonds of union between the north and the south.” But how many times have these bonds to be cemented and who is “laboring to keep alive the lost cause,” and what would anybody do with it 'if it were kept alive? Near- ly every year in some part of the country at some gathering or other of old soldiers the cementing ceremony takes place, and as for the younger people of the south, they do not seem to care very much for the lost cause, or any other cause, as matter of fact. We fancy that General Nevius has not kept up with progress of his country during the last few years. Did not the hero of San Juan boast constantly of his southern blood, and claim in many of his oratjons that the gray was entitled to_equal consideration with the blue? Didn't Joseph Wkeeler, and Fitz Lee, and Calbraith Butler, and William C. Oates, and a large num- ber of other gallant soidiers of the confederate armies respond to the call of their country in the great strug- gle with Spain 11 years ago? Wasn't that cementing enough to satisfy al- most any reasonable appetite for such advertisement of our loyalty to the old flag?—Charleston, S. C, News and Courier. . Supposing. Supposing the man who was mad because his chauffeur was fined for driving an automobile too fast through the center of this city should attempt to earry out his threat to “fix this town,” ‘and should bring the matter up before the Automobile club of America, what would the club say to him? Would it commend him for his conduct and tell him that he was just the kind of man the club was organ- ized' to protest? Or would it say “They served you right. You had no business to drive through a busy town at a pace that could be even suspected of being dangerous. It such men as_ you who exc against decent motor drivers. If it weren't for a_few like you the rest of us might go tarough the country with- out having occasion to be ashamed of ourselves and without feeling that mankind_in general hated us.

Rather we feel like commending the police and court of Waterbury for giving one more reckless man a re- buke and other recklessimen a warn- ing and thereby improving the chances for reasonable automobile owners to lead a comfortable and self Tespecting ife.” If the Automobile club of America should get an opportunity and should deal with this person in this way it would do the whole automobile cause & good turn.—Waterbury American. Aerial Torpedoes. The idea of an aerial torpedo seems, at the present time, more practical than the notion of dropping bombs or delivering broadsides from flying ma- chines. The war department is being besieged by inventors who have turned to this method of aerial warfare. The theory of the aeroplane is taken ad- vantage of for the proposed flotation and propulsion of projectiles through the air, and the claim that such pro- jectiles would be vastly cheaper than the ammunition for heavy guns, while the operation of attack would be much simpler, is reasonable enough. Never- theless, there is no more likelihood that the use of these projectiles would result in the abandonment of great guns than that such will ever be the effect of the submarine or surface tor- pedo. The aerial torpedo would be available for attack against a ship's upper works, but would not menace vital parts. If the idea is successfully carried out it does not appear that a revolution in armanments or the tac- tics of sea warfare will result.—Provi- dence Journal.
