Milton Coburn as their candidate for mayor, by the Republicans of the city of South Nor- walk, last evening, places in the field a strong candidate and one that the Dem- ocrats will have trouble to defeat. Dr. Coburn is an energetic Repub- lican, and one that the entire party can support. He is a hard worker, and will be found leading the fight from now on until the closing of the ballot- box next Monday night. The Republicans of our sister city are to be congratulated on their choice, and if elected Dr. Coburn will make an ideal mayor. ——-——‘—-<o.o>-_——- The Game Season.

' Testimony Which Does Not Sustain Theory of Accidental Death. 4 —._-.—-r' Coroner Doten, of Bridgeport, wentl to VVestport yesterday and held an in- quest into the death of Charles Brown who was found unconscious in the yard of Mrs. H. H. Belden last Monday morning and afterwards died. ~———_ Robert Carruthers, one of the wit- nesses examined, said that with a friend named John Guindon, he was driving past the residence Of Mrs. S. J. Bulkley when Brown who was in- toxicated, staggered out into the street and fell between the wheels of the carriage. Carruthers‘said he got out of the carriage and dropped Brown over the fence into the yard, knowing he would be better Off there than on the street. Mrs. Bulkeley testified that she heard Brown when he was dropped in to the yard and during the night, say several times, “You have killed me.” The fact was brought out at the in- quest that on the evening before his death, Brown had had a dispute with a motorman named Fanning, but it is believed that no blows were struck. Coroner Doten said it would be sev- eral days before he would render his decision. V" Trying Thelr Luck.

ANEGRO cnoesus. , “til Astonishing Rise to Riches and Power ot 8 Former Alabama Slave. i The richest and most powerful man i socially and politically in the Republic of Guatemala is John Knight, a. negro, , who was born a slave in Alabama and who was sold from the public slave block as late as March, 1860. Knight was an exceptionally bright boy. He never saw his father, Who was sold into a. distant State before he was born. The family to Whom Knight belonged gave him an educa~ tion, and at the age Of Sixteen the boy was sold for $1,600, a. high price, con- sidering that the sale occurred in NO- .; vember, 1860, the very time of Lincoln’s l election. Knight remained with the family of his new master llntil the close of the war. In common with thousands of other slaves, he then declared his free- dom. He walked to New Orleans, and for the first time in his life went away from his master’s properties. In New Orleans he worked as a. wharf laborer for a. firm which handled fruits from Central America. He saved his money. Everyone about the wharves knew John Knight, the most capable and in- dustrious colored man there. One day in June, 1866, he was sen-t by his em- ployer down to Yucatan, in Central America, to live there as boss of the packing and'shipping of fruits to New Orleans. He had $20 a. week salary. That was practically the beginning of John Knight’s millions. He lived in Yucatan a. ”year, worked hard, saved his every cent, and dreamed of the day when he could have an orange, banana ‘ ' etiquette" with him, largely composed and pineapple shipper on his own ac— count. Having heard of the great tracts of free and fertile fruit lands south of San Christoval in Gautemala. he went and located there. A live, wide-awake person was something unique in those days in that region of siestas and tropical sunshine. A revo- lution, in which Ramon Sanchez had been deposed, was just as its close. John Knight saw what hard work and an Opportunity to gain the favor of the new administration would do for himself. He proposed that fer a concession of some 50,000 acres of land suitable for pineapple and banana growing he would go to New Orleans and get the wholesale fruit dealers. who ruled the American market thirty years ago, to agree to buy $2,000,000 1 year of Guatemala fruits. The Guate- mala Government gladly accepted the proposition. In less than three months the deal was consummated at New Orleans. It was the beginning of the trade Of millions of dollars annually. 'To make a long story short, John Knight got other concessions, as he demonstrated the profit there was in growing fruits for the United States markets. The shipping business to New York and San Francisco was He married a native young‘woman in Stapa in 1872, and the union has been a. great help to his fortunes. About twenty years ago he induced New England capital to embark ’exe' tensively in coffee growing in Guate- mala, and he invested over $150,000 of his own capital in the industry. The Government gave him a very advan- tageous shipping concession for his ef~ forts in bringing capital to the coun- try. Coffee growing proved wonder- fully renumerative for a. dozen years. At one time the annual shipments Of coffee from the Knight fincas were the largest from any private estate in all Central America: The negro planter branched out in other directions. He went to Phila- delphia and contracted to furnish many thousands of feet of mahogany yearly for ten years. Then he bought up tracts of mahogany trees in Nicar- agua and Guatemala. At one time he was the second largest dealer in ma- hogany in the world. Everything he touched he made a success. He lives in royal style in the suburbs of Guatemala City. No one in that re- gion except the Barrios ever enter- tained so lavishly as Don Knight and his wife.

I walked into the sleeping car with a' lighted cigar in my hand, intending to locate my berth and finish my cigar on the platform. I passed the only passenger in the car, in appearance the typical John Bull—very stout, a short neck, red face, and the whole sur- mounted with -a gray Tam O’Shanter - cap. You couldn’t mistake him; he was the real thing from the “right little, tight little isle." All at once I.

My compliments to the English gen- tleman, and tell him I am carrying my cigar in my hand and am leaving the ear immediately.” I Wished to impress the “Englisher” that we knew how to do things over here, but, strange as it may seem, he was not impressed, and would not sub- side. “I detest the vile weed, and don't want it within a mile .of me,” said he. I rejoined my friend on the platform, related the occurrence to him and suggested that we ought to do something to entertain the gentleman from England. We returned to the car, and sitting in my berth (the next to John Bull's), I remarked that I had been very much annoyed by sleepers who sacred, and, calling the porter, I exchanged the courtesies of “P. P. C. sub,” of cash on my part, and requested that if any one in our car snored, he would’ wake him up and tell him to turn over. Shortly after we had all gone to bed lthe “Englisher” began to snore. I knew he would, from the size of his neck and 'the width of his vest. The porter woke him, much to his surprise. Again and again it was necessary to call his "attention to the fact that he was in danger of strangulation. Oh. how beautifully and vigorously he did kick. At last the porter stuck his head into my berth and said: “Say, boss, if you heah him snore any mo' to-night, you can wake him up youssef. He didn’t cuss none, but he used de mos’ pow’ful langwige I ever heard." As i thought the British lion’s tail had been properly twisted, I went to sleep. The next morning my friend and I separated, he going to the same hotel as the Englishman. Meeting the for- mer later in the day and inviting him to “take something” at the expense of the Union Jack, he stopped me with arpained look and said: “DO you know that that was Rev.

It is not bigger than the District of Co- lumbia, but has about 40,000 inhabitants and has played an important part in the history of America. It has be— longed at different times to Brad Spain and Holland, and its cozy harbor has been the scene of many a DIJOdY battle between the navies of the old world, as well as between the pirates and buccaneers that infested the Ca- ribbean sea for two centuries. It has been for 100 years and still is an asy- lum for political fugitives, and many of the revolutions that rack and wreck the republics on the Spanish main are hatched under the shelter of the pre- tentious but harmless fortresses that guard this port. Bolivar, Santa Anna and many other fame-us men in Span- lsh-American history have lived there In exile, and until recently there was an imposing castle upon one of the hills called Bolivar’s tower. There the founder of five republics lived in ban- ishment for several years and waited for rescue. The houses are built in the Dutch style, exactly like those in Holland; the streets are 'so narrow that the peo- ple can almost shake hands through their Windows with the neighbors across the way, and the walls are as thick as would be needed for a fort- ress.
