NO MAN YEP—CHOSEN.
Report that Secretary Long May Be
Made Attorney-General.
Washington, Dec. 3.——In Administra-
tion and political circles it is generally
believed that the President will send
to the Senate next Tuesday the nomina‘
tion of Attorney-General McKenna. to
be Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court to succeed Field. At the same
time it is likely that the nomination of
the new Attorney-General will be trans-
mitted to the Senate. . , .-
Judge Goff, of West Virginia, denies
that he is a candidate, for _the..Ca.binet,
but his'n‘ame' is still" mentioned. Among
others mentioned in this connection are
ex-Attorney—General Richards, of Ohio,
and J. J. McCook, of New York, and
not a few believe there 'may be a. final
shifting which may land Secretary
Long in the Department of Justice and
some entirely new man may be called
to take the Navy portfolio.

Fltzgerald VMay Be Appointed.
New York, Dec. 3.—It was reported
in this city to-day that W. F. Fitzger—
ald, of California, will be appointed by
"President McKinley Attorney-General,
to succeed Mr. McKenna, should the
later be elevated to the Supreme Court
bench. Mr. Fitzgerald was appointed
Unitedi_States Judge for Arizona by
President Arthur in 1883. He was the
only Republican elected on- the Cali-
fornia State ticket at the last election.
THE FATE OF MRS. NACK.
It In Now Sold She Will Plead to
Murder in the Second Degree.
New York, Dec. 3.-Although District
Attorney Youngs has not yet fully com-
mitted himself to any course of action
regarding what will be done to An-
gusta Nack for the murder of William
Guldensuppe, it is almost certain that
he will accept a plea from her of mur-
der in the second degree. The penalty
for this degree of murder is imprison-
ment for life.
It is not at all likely that Mrs. Naek
will ever be tried before a jury. . Mr.
Youngs acknowledged that he would
have trouble in convicting the woman
of murder in the first degree if he
should atempt it. He could not use
Thorn's testimony against her, and he
could not use her own confession on her
trial.
The headless trunk of Guldensuppe
may beburied soon._ It is still in pickle
in the'Mo'rgue. 'It was thought it might
have to be produced in court. Now that
the trial of Thom‘ has closed, and that
a conviction has been secured, Gulden-
suppe’s body may find a resting place.
The bath rubber was a. member of a

a large majority agreed to accept the
terms offered by the other glass- _
workers, namely, $28,000 from the gen- '
eral fund and the withdrawal of all!
claims on and in connection with the
general association.
The principal opposiiton came from
this vicinity, outsiders being almost
unanimously in favor of accepting the
offer.
The manufacturers can now probably
gain their point and dictate terms on
the scale, as the workers are divided in
interests. It was at first reported that
the proposition had been rejected.
Mail Clerk Arrested.
Pittsburg, Dec. 3.—C. W. Merritt, of
Mansfield, Ohio, has been arrested for
robbing the mails. Merritt was em-
ployed as a railway postal clerk on the
Fort Wayne Railroad betheen Crest-
line and Pittsburg. For a long ll'lt:
the postal officials have been L. moird
with complaints of money being stolen
from letters. Two decoy letters with
marked money were found in his pock~
ets when arrested. ,.

Five cents to Fairfield and
Fifteen to Westport. '
Judge Elmer Goes Over Route of Proposed
Westport Trolley Extension.
It leaked out, yesterday, that before
the selectmen of Fairfield withdrew
their opposition to the propOSed exten-
sion of the trolley. lines to Westport
they reached an agreement with the
Bridgeport Traction company, that
eventually the fare to the village of
Fairfield shall be but five cents. It is
understood that the agreement is not
to be consummated until reasonable as-
surance can be had that the proposed
extension can be constructed. In the
meantime the fact of the reduced fare
will form a p0werful argument in show-
ing convenience and necessity; for if it
would be a convenience to the people
when there was a ten cent fare to Fair-
field, it would be a much greater con-
venience when the fare is but five
cents.
Yesterday the hearing on the exten-
sion was continued before Judge Elmer.
Mr. Paige finished putting in the evi-
dence for the Traction company, and
concluded by inviting the judge to
inspect the proposed route that he
might thoroughly understand it. Judge
Elmer accepted the invitation and
went. over the proposed route with the
officials of. the Traction company.
If the road is constructed it is prob-
able that the merchants of Bridgeport
will reap great benefit. The fare from
Bridgeport to VVestport is now 30 cents,
including a nickel for fare from the
Saugatuck railroad station to W'estport
proper.

HOW TO FIND our. _'
1 Fill a bottle on. common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment'or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or, pain in the back, is also
convmcing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the. back, kidneys, liver, bladderand
every part of the urinary passages. ' It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following. use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest. for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
Mention THE GAZETTE,
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamton, N. Y. The pro-
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this affair.
