The Fatal B‘oots.'
Those moralists who hold that the ;cou-
utemplation of suffering“ which it is impossi-
ble to relieve has a hardening effect upon the
human heart are probably right. Still,'thcre
are exceptionsto this rule.“ We may mild
cases of suffering which fill us-with pity,and
make us resolve that‘ for the future we will
do our best to induce other'people to give
timely help to those who are in afiliction.
No men can cherish such a resolution with
'out feeling» that be is growing noblcr and.
b‘etterrlt' is in the confident expectation
that something of this kind will follow, that
the followiugpainful account of u most har-
rowing tragedy is given to the public:
In the town of Clinton, 11]., residctwo
young men, each of whom has a sister. The
young men are addicted to fishing, and, their
sisters are full of gayety and good-humor.
Though this‘gayety has occasionally been
viewed wit-hgreat disapprobation by ' the

hood, ihcre is not the least doubt that the
two young‘ladies are excellent girls, and
that there ballot a headache in a- barrel of
.themrwc should say there is nota particle
of harm in them. Untilirecently they have
been singularly happy and free from care,
but the disaster which lately befell' the elder
'of the two—ewbo may be called Julia—has
cast'a'gloomys hadow over her young life.

Last Saturday the‘two young men were
to go ou'a fishing excursion, and were to set
out from the house of J ulia’s brother. The
other young man’s small brother brought:
his elder brother’s fishing apparatus to the
housc'of‘Julia's brother oh Friday evening
and. thus meeting :with the small brother of .

. Jubbilhl‘other, discussed. the meannegg's of

older brothers who, would not go fishing in
company with boys. It may be parcntbeti4
cally remarked that bothrof these two fami-
lies was_altogcther too large to be intro-
duced intoa brief narration without becom-
ing inexrtioably‘ tangled, but if people in‘,
Clinton will have'wbolly uncalled for fami.
lies, tbcblame does not . rest upon Metropoli-
tan journalists. Among the apparatus of
the other young man, who had better be
defined as llcieu’s‘brother, was a pull of
gigantic rubber boots, with legs at least three
feet in length. These boots were placed in
the hall, and when the small-boys had

revenge, they gratified their unholy rage by
facing the interior or the boots with shoe-
maker’s wax. A

Which one of these 'girls first suggested
bat it would be =sueh fun to try on Helen’s
rothcr’s enormous boots, is not known.
robably, however, it was J uiia, for she it
as who, after several efforts succeeded in
getting into the boots. She found it nearly
impossible to walk with [them, and Helen
went'into, hysterics of laughter at the ab-
surd spectacle presented by her friend, who
apparently consisted of three parts boots
and one part girl.
ment was, nevertheless, soon exhausted,
and J lllia undertook to extract herself from
the boots. . . . ‘
It was at this point that the tragedy be-

gun. The boots refused to come Oh. The

bootjack was tried' in .vain, and vain were

the l'ungs'of'chairs and stair~banisters. In-
these circumstances J ulia sat down in a chair

(1 appealed to her friend for help. Full

of an earnest desire to help her, her friend
seized . one boot and pulled with great vio-

lencc. The boot did not yield. but Julia

did, and the violence with which she sat on;
the floor greatly astonished her. A long
series'of efforts on the part of the earnest
and affectionate Helen .Vvere equally fruit-
less of good, and at the end of half an hour

the girls decided that J ulia’s youngest broth.
er whose age was 12,, and' who was unus-
ually muscular, should be called in.

The small boy, with great enthusiasm,
undertook to “yank them boots 03” before
any one then presentwcould clearly articu-
late the name of a vague and apparently
irrelevant Jack Robinson; but he soon found
that be had overrated his strength and
underrated the tenacity of the wax. He
was a reckless and energ'etic buy, and in-

ged her around the .

accidentiy tangled with the legs of the piano,

Dcmocratic state Convention:

 

We copy the following graphic and'dctailed

report of the Democratic State Convention
from the Tribune’s staff correspondent.

 

New Haven. Sept. I'D—Tho Democratic
State Convention which met in this city to-
day has been somewhat overshadowed in
importance and in public interest by the
more widely advertised circus at Worcester,
which comes nearer being the biggest show
_ 2 When Mr. Butler strides into the
arena, he chrystallizes the attention of the
public; other performances may as well
cease and other performers subside. This not
so much because Mr. Butler always does
wonderful things, butbccause he is l-lfia'B
Bolargcly advertised and always promising
such extraordinary performances that people
stand agape at the‘show bills and are particu-
lar-to be On hand when the show comes off
for fear he may do some of the things adver-
tised and they miss seeing him. , Then, too,
Mr. Butler is ;one of'tbose rave acrobats to
.wbom it makes no manner of difference
whether when he vaults he lands on his head
or his heels or a broader part; whethcrho is
fired through a balloon or overall banner; is-
run over by a horse or is kicked by a male.
It is all one to him, so he'holds public atten-
tion; he always comes up cheerful and
smiling. - With Mr. Butler “rampaging" at
Worcester, the democrats of_ Connecticut
could hardly expect _to have a large share of
public attention for their little circus here
‘t'o-day.” Still. they. have..- made an earnest
endeavor to be interesting ‘ and to appear to
be of some consequence in the politics of
the country. They might. have done better
if the-leaders of the hard money wing had'
only shown a little courage‘and stood up to
a fair fight, but perhaps they have exercised
good judgment in running away and postponé
ing the scrimmage to another day. - I

The situation of affairs described in last

Scnator Eaton in the chair and start the
convention off with a ringingspccch, from
him in favor of honest money, to be followed
up by organizing the body in-tbe interest of
hard money, with a platform committee that i
could be trusted on that question, wen,t,all.to,

Messrs. Eaton and Burr had come to the

any rate the first news this morning was that
they had thrown up the sponge, andnot only
would not undertake to run the convention,

, but had made up their minds to give up the

fight absolutely and abandon the field without
so much as showing their heads in the hall.

lowing his example, Senator Eaton 85 .Co.
turned tail upen: the convention ; they came
here to direct, and returned. gloomily to
Hartford.

This left the ’convention to its own devices,

As these facts began to leak out in the
Course of the morning, there was much buz-

now THE NOMINATIONS wane MADE.
The hall was not crowded, and there was a
manifest lack of enthusiasm. The delegates
seemed dazed with the unexpectedncss of the

feet, that. Eaton and Burr had gone off mad,
and‘that Barnum had disappeared, and the
effect of these defections was very «discour-

The preliminaries of organization were
speedily disposed of, and then came a pause

nominate the entire old ticket by acclimation:
This was carried without dissent, and was
followed by the reading of letter, which had
been published several days previous from
Lieutenant-Governor Loomis. declining a'
reuominutidn. Then Mr. Cleveland stepped
forward and nominated for the vacant place
Charles Durand, of Derby. The speech was
one 'of Cleveland’s own, and though brief
was abundant in the pyrotecnics with which
that . gifted orator_ has made Connecticut
people familiar. It- is 0 fair to say though
that Cleveland’sA speec es are not half. so
funny as his conversation. If they were he
weuld keep his audiences convulsed. Said
some one to Cleve, '.‘Now that the Southern
question is settled and the Democratic party
is divided on the financial question, what
makes you a democrat?" “Well, I' don't
know," s'aid he, with a little start of surprise.
“I hadn’t thought of that. Ask me an easier
one.” “Will the convention be harmonibus ?"
asked a reporter. ,“Perfectly,” said Cleve,

Greenback question. Mr. Reed seemed to
be a hard money man, and to be disturbed

' “half Greenbacker." Mr.Reed wanted the
candidate to come on the platform and state

delegates, a majority of whom were very

Lusk, but was sat down. upon by the chair.

Then Cleveland came. forward'oucc more
with the air of .a man who was‘ running the
convention and' owned the candidate, and
gave his word that Mr. Durand should come
forward and explain his position as soon as
he was nominated, and that if his Democracy
were not satisfactory to the convention he
should withdraw from the ticket. He sat
down with a wise wink to the reporters. “x’ll
show ’em," says be, “how to run a convcn}
tion. I made up my mind when those fel-
lows cleared out and left things all. at loose
ends I’d just take the conveniun and run it

doing it ?" And he was doing it really; be
made allthe speeches, nominated the candi-
date, and became personally responsible for
his Democracy; The proceedings generally
were of, a gloomy chnracter, but Cleveland
enjoyed himself,’ and was as radiant as an
umdertakcr in u sickly season.

Mr. Durand did come in and make a speech
“defining his position.’_’ It was a confusing
sort of speech,;and sit . the clpse of; it Mr.
Cleveland winked ,again .at the reporters.
Mr. Troup, the Greenback editor. and leader,
intimated that. it was . a trifle obscure; he
thought Mr. Duraudhad_“gonc into a hole

the. way be “defined :” ' “
The notification of your preference for me
