Former. Revenue Collector
Candidate For Sherifii'

 

Norwalk Said to he Enthusiastic For
Their Candidate. '

There is a new candidate in the field
for the Democratic nomination for
sheriff and he promises to develop
notable strength although his boom
was only launched yesterday, says the
Bridgeport Post.

Edgar N. Sloan of Norwalk, who has
only just tendered his resignation as
deputy collector of internal revenue to
Collector Lake, is the man put for-
ward by the Democrats from the low-
er end of the county as the only candi-
date who can beat Sidney E. Hawley.

N o sooner had Mr. Sloan announced
that his‘resignation was in the hands
of the collector than his friends urged
him to enter the field as the candidate
for sheriff.

Mr. Sloan hesitated at first. He said
that it was too lat 3, that the others
had too big a' start. But he was as-

ssured that there was plenty of open
' ground yet to be worked with the
possibility“ of* holding the balance ‘ of
power in the county convention. ‘

But after a little argument Collector
Sloan was satisfied that his friends
were in earnest and he consented to
allow, them to work for him. A

These friends lost no time in getting
to work and word was quickly tele-
graphed and telephoned all over the
county. The former .collector is a
very popular man and the proposition
took like wildfire. It was said that
some of the Danbury people took kind-
ly to it and there were rumors that. the
Hat town delegates were not as stead-
fast for James Lee as that gentleman’s
friends could wish.

It goes without saying that N orwalk
is for him to a man and friends in other
towns in the Twelfth and Thirteenth
senatorial districts have promised him
plenty of assistance.

J ust- what effect this new candidacy
will have on the chances of the other
two candidates who have been in the
field so long, no one can just say. Or-
dinarily 1t would seem impossible for
the new man to make any impressionI
but the fact is that but little attention
' has been paid to the delegates from
the lower part of the county and there
appears to be a splendid chance to
work up a boom.

Mr. Lee -has devoted most of his en-
ergies to the securing of delegates
from the upper part of the county. He
will be known as the' up country can-
didate. ' _

Mr. Coughlin is known as the Bridge-
port candidate.. His friends have con-
tented themselves with quiet work in
the towns which surround the Park
City and they believe that when the
convention meets enough delegates will
support the former‘mayor to give him
the nomination.

Now comes a new complication in

the field and the party is to have a
third cmdidate to represent a third
section of the county. And it is a sec-
tion of the county, too, which claims
that it has not had a candidate in many
years. »
The Norwalk politicians hava taken.
hold of the matter with great tent-hus-
iasm and they will push the fight? from
this out. ' |

AT CAMP HAVEN.
Third Regiment to Co to Pennsylvania.

The announcement of the early re-
moval of the Third regiment to Middle-
town, Pa., has occasioned-the greatest
activity that has been manifested since
the regiment arrived at Niantic. No
further orders have been received
since the despatch from the war de-
partment ordering Col. Tyler to the
new quarters. The regiment is now
awaiting transportation and it is be-
lieved that by Saturday 'or Sunday at
the latest the soldiers will be encamp-
ed in their new post.

A very thorough inspection of the
camp was made yesterday to ascertain
its sanitary condition, and after Inves-
tigations which" lasted over three hours
things were found in a most satisfactory
condition. Samples of water from the
different wells were tested by Dr. C.A.
Lindsley of New Haven, secretary of
the state board of health, and in every
case the water was found to be excel-
lent and showed that it had improved
nearly 50 per cent. since last May when
it was pi’eviously analyzed. The gen-
eral health of the men was also found
to be good and there. are but three
cases in the hospittl.

Surgeon General Watson’s Denial.

Surgeon General' W. 8. Watson, C.
N. G., of Danbury, who accompanied
General Frost, Assistant -- Surgeon
General Phillips and Dr. C. A. Lind-
sley to Camp Haven yesterday, return-
ed home last night greatly incensed at
the sensational reportsthat have been
circulated relative to the unsanitary
condition of the camp. Dr. W’atson
was very emphatic in his statement
that there was absolutely no truth in
the stories that the camp was in a bad
sanitary cbndition. There have been
only two or three known cases of ty-
phoid fever since the men came into
camp, and there have been many more
than that among the townspeople of
Niantic during the same time.

SOLDIERS VIN TOWN.

A Rough Rider and Member of mu N. Y.
Visiting 'Friends. .

Julian LeCouut, of Co. E, 71st New
York volunteers, in company with
Sergeant Rollo Miller, Troop G. of the
Roosvelt ‘Roughl‘Riders, were in town
this morning. ' I

They attracted considerable atten-
tion on Main street and were surround-
ed by an army of admirers who hurled
questions at them with the speed of a.
repeating gun, to all of which an
answer was given. 2

Mr. LeCount told the reporter that
he had but recently-ibBeH discharged
from the hospital, and was visiting in
Westport. He said that he had suffer:
ed the less of perhaps thirty pounds of
flesh while at Santiago but hoped to
regain it undera change of atmosphere.
He failed to give any expression of

fault~finding as to the, manner in which
he had been treated by the government,
pro contra, he was inclined to commend
rather than co Idemn. His appearance
denoted that he had > had a rather
severe experience. ‘

Sergeant Rollo Miller of Troop G,

“Rough Riders” was not inclined to be

interviewed and contented his would-be
acquaintances with a‘shake of the hand
and the information 'fI fared no better

than the rest.” Am ; just out of the

hospital and with my: friend LeCount

am taking a leave of' absence. in West-

part

When asked if he intended taking
part in the parade of the Rough Riders
on Monday next, he 'said that he hardly
thought that he would. He looked but-
little the worse for the experience he

claimed to have had in Cuba.

other olties and numbered nearly fifty.
The hostess proved herself to be equal
to the occasion, however, and soon
made her guests feel at home. There
was vocal and instrumental music, and
despite the intense heat a little dance.
Refreshments were served with a
liberal hand and it was 12 o’clock be-
fore the guests departed for their sev-
eral homes. ‘

NEW HAVEN PRIMARIES.

 

Republican primaries were held last
night in nine of the fifteen wards in
New Haven. Porter delegates were
elected in all except two wards. Porter
received ~19 of the necessary 58 dele-
gates which will insure a Porter con-
tingent at the state convention. The
other six wards will hold primaries to-
night and there is little doubt that
Porter will win by a large majority.
There'were contests in only two wards.
In the Second the’Lounsbury men
were led by Dennis Blakeley. For
the first time the Blakeleys met with
defeat. Postmaster Howarth led the
Porter forces. Representative Fred
Averill led the Louusbury forces in
the Fourth Ward.
