Congressman Hill was in Litc‘nfield the other day, and, according to the Inquirer, "when asked if he could give any information as to who would be the next postmaster there, he said he knew absolutely nothing as to the sit- uation as he had only returned from Europe on Friday. He also said that if anything definite had’ been decided upon he would be only too glad to take the public into his confidence. Mr. Hill also added that he gladly received all communications to which a man signed his name. For cowardly, an- onymous letters he had that contempt felt by all honest men. Litchfield parties who have been writing such ' letters are only wasting their time and money.” ——————....o>——-—'———- Examining Creameries. Dairy Commissioners Noble and Eaton are busy at present collecting informa-' tion relating to the creamery business in Connecticut, for an annual report. Each creamery is inspected. In addi- tion to statistics as to output and quali- ty, the report will contain a record of the amount of capital invested. It will be the state’s first official report of the creamery bussness. Commissioner Eaton says that 50 of the 60 creameries have been examined. <A.> The Bonai Jury. The jurors for the next session of the Superior criminal court were drawn yesterday.

Hobo Enters a Greenwich House and Sleeps All Night on the Lounge. The following despatch comes from Greenwic‘iz “The cheekiest tramp who ever entered this town made his appearance early last evening at the home of Richard Bogue, manager of the New York Telephone Company, near Commodore E. C. Benedict’s In- dian Harbor property. He was not hungry, but told Mrs. Bogue he wanted money to use the next day. ‘Send the children after change,’ he told Mrs. Bogue when she said she had no change. “He was put out through the front door, but the next moment walked in through the back door. He was direct- ed to the village, but instead went next door and demanded money of Mrs. Robert Barnes. He could not get in the front door, owing to a chain lock, and so proceeded to the rear door. The key was on the outside, and he locked the door and then went into the cellar. Mrs. Barnes's young son Elmer took his father’s revolver and wanted to shoot him, but his mother prevented him. _ ' “The tramp left the cellar at 8 o’clock, and two hours later walked into Mr. Bogue’s house again. He Said he was cold, but he was evicted. This morn- ing the man was discovered by William Seely’s little girl fast asleep on the parlor lounge. were on a chair, and his shoes and socks were removed. A blanket covered him. “When Mr. Seely was told of the strange lodger he rushed down stairs, tumbled him off the 1011 nge, kicked him, slapped his face. smashed his hat, and finally threw him down the front steps, and he has not since been. seen here.” THE 11111111 laud 1111 It] 311 Captain Rose recover from his fall from “an eminence.” The daily increasing sales of the EVENING GAZETTE continue.

A certain dude who has become a “back number” with the girls in town, is by no means as green as they thought him to be. He now poses in front of the Boston Store show windows where he feels fully assured attention will be attracted in his direction from the eyes of the young ladies passing by. However, there is a possibility that he will yet be ordered from the sidewalk as an obstruction. Certain it is that he stands in the way of proper display of the dress patterns as viewed from the street. A-‘ 7 Mr. Olmstead’s Condition. The condition of Hon. James H. Olm- stead of Stamford, still continues to im- prove. He has almost regained the full use of his arm, but his leg still troubles him, and he has not yet gained the use of it. His constitution and appetite are good, however, and his complete re- covery is looked for, but it will take a long time to bring this about. 4": BROAD RIVER.

Neighbors Say Miss] Nichols Will Not Pay Reward. Arrest and Conviction oi Murderers Will Not Give Her Back Her Brother. It is hard to believe that there is anything to the story the neighbors up Daniels Farms way are telling about Mary Nichols, sister of the victim of the Nichols tragedy. They say that Mary Nichols is going to back down from the position she took when she announced that for the arrest and con— viction of the murderers of her aged brother, Marcus, she would give $2,500. As the stories go, Mary is said to have told several of her closest friends a few weeks before she left for the West that she had become reconciled to her lot and the capture and conviction of the murderers would not give her back her brother. Moreover she gets the credit ing that she did not propose to pay any reward to anybody. Of course Miss Nichols is away and cannot be seen and hence there is no opportunity of finding out whether she has really decided to break her Word. The reward of $2,500 which she offered was a bona fide pledge and it is almost too much to think that she would ap- pear before the world in the light such action on her part would surely place her. , Mary Nichols is close with her money; that is understood by all who know her. ‘ :vr —Photographic supplies at Riggs Drug store. 0 14 If SOME STRAWS. Showing The Abandonment of Municipal Electric Light Ownership. If it is true, as was stated at the re- cent South Norwalk city meeting, that the system of municipal ownership of electric plants is so profitable and such a saving when compared with the price charged by private companies, why have so many cities abandoned it after a thorough trial and a loss of thousands of dollars ‘3 Xenia, Ohio, sold a plant that cost $35,000 for $10,000; Gravesend, L. I., sold its plant costing'$120,000 for $31,- 000; Michigan City sold a plant costing $10,000 for $2,500. The Moline, 111., plant cost $15,000 and was sold for $8,- 000. At St. Joseph, Mo., the plant costing $90,000 was sold for $60,000. Scores of others have found that they could not produce the light as cheaply as a private company and have aban- doned their plants. -‘ :vr EAST NORWALK.

'ihe Horison Athletic Club’s Entertainment at Bridgeport Draws a Big Crowd. The athletic entertainment given by the Horizon Athletic club of Bridge- port, in the Park City theatre last evening proved a gratifying success. An audience of at least 1200 people saw the several boxing bouts. The first go on the p1 ogramme was a ten round go between Sammy Meyers and Paul Kelly. The fight was a hot one and the audience was exasperated when the demsion was awarded in fa- vor of Meyers by Referee Charles White of New York. Meyers did the aggressive work and leading but he continually fouled Kelly and the refer- ee should have decided the bout ‘ a draw. The second go was between Harry Jamison of Bridgeport, and Dan Mur- phy, of Waterbury. At the sound of the gong Murphy went at Jamison and in seventeen seconds had him that scared that he sat dowu in his corner and removed his gloves. The star event of the evening was the bout between Johnny Flaherty of Lowell, Mass, and Danny McBride of New York. This was announced to be a fifteen round go. In the tenth round Flaherty had McBride going and the in-fighting‘ became so close that they clinched and the referee went in to sep- arate them. At that time one of Me- Bride’s seconds went into the ring and interfered and then the referee gave the decision -to Flaherty. The going into the ring by McBride’s second was for the purpose of preventing a knock- out as McBride was on queer street and only 1equired another punch to put him out. :':-= BREWS I'ER CONSECRATION. Bishop Williams’ Coadjutor and Probable Successor, Inducted at New Haven. Rev. Dr. Chauncey'Bunce Brewster, for the past 12 years rector of Grace church, Brooklyn, N.

The ceremony took place in Trinity church, New Haven, on the historic old green where one hundred years ago the Rev. Abraham Brewster, whose centenary was celebrated Wednesday was consecrated the second Episcopal bishop of Connecticut. The consecrat- ting bishops were the Right Rev. A. N.

J., Oct. 29.—Mrs. Grover Cleveland gave birth to a son at 1' o’clock yesterday afternoon. Mother and child are doing well. The baby weighed twelve pounds. The Cleve- lands now have four children, Ruth, Marion, Esther and the latest arrival. The ex-President’s great desire is grat- ified. He has long wished for a son. The news spread quickly around the town and campus, and the students made merry last night over the pros- pect of a big guard or even a centre rush for the 1917 'varsity eleven. The announcement of the safe arrival of Grover Cleveland, Jr., was made on the university bulletin board in the afternoon. A large crowd of students were soon collected, and somebody called for “ a triple cheer for the kid,” which was given with such a hearty will that the noise ctvuld plainly be heard in the Cleveland house. A little knot of Mr. Cleveland’s per- sonal friends gathered in the drawing- room of the Bayard avenue house last night to offer congratulations. The child, muffled in softest clothes, was brought into the room and a toast was drunk to his health. FEAR OF CUBAN VENGEANCE. It In All That Prevents Great Out- rages in Havana. Havana. Oct. 27, via Key West, Oct. 28.——Two dynamite bombs exploded on Tuesday in the neighborhood of El Cerro, Havana City. The bombs did some damage to baracks occupied by Spanish soldiers, but neither killed nor wounded anybody. It is generally be- lieved that the explosion was caused by Cubans merely to warn the Spanish volunteers not to carry out their threats of committing murder during the proposed demonstration in favor of Gen. \Veyler. There is no doubt that if the volunteers repeat their butcherics of 1.069 some conspicuous Spaniards will be killed by the Cubans in retaliation, and Havana will fall into a state of anarchy in which the foreign residents will be imperiled. Only fear of Cuban revenge is likely to prevent rapine and murder by the volunteers on the defenseless native families living in the capital. The re— port that the government of Senor “fr gasta. in order to prevent those out- reges. intends to discharge the volune left: and disarm them, is not credited one by the people who know the rela— "tions which the Spanish governments have always maintained with the sav- age mob, officially styled “the most patriotic Institution of Volunteers of Havana.” EX-MAYOR CURTIS MARRIED.

The couple left last evening for a brief wedding trip before their return to Boston. So far as the Boston public is concerned, the wed- ding was a runaway match.
