' «rHE TRANS—MISSISSIPPI EXPOSITION AT OMAHA—SCENE AT THE INDIAN CONGRESS. rnou HARPER’S WEEKLY; , «as AFTER A DRAWING BY W. A. Romans. Reproduced from Home?! Weekly. By Permission. Copyright, 1898, by Harper &. Brothers. . Struck Two Men. James Murray, of Greenfield ~Hill, and Patrick Reilly, of the Golden Val- ley, were struck by the same trolley car at different points of the Westport line last Tuesday, and seriously injured. Of the two, Murphy fared the worst. He is now confined in the Bridgeport hospital, which he will not be able to leave for several weeks. Prompt ac tion onthe part of the motorman un doubtedly saved his life. The car which injured both men left . Westport for Bridgeport at 10:20, schedule time. It was in charge of Motorman Hipolite Thibault and Con- ductor George M unson. The car was run at the usual rate of speed. J not as it was passing the Greens Farms cream ery, Patrick Reilly was apparently sky- larking and misjudged the speed of the oncoming trolley. At any rate he was strudk and tossed to one side In a man- ner devoid of comfort. Reilly landed in a heap and was picked up uncon- scious. After being placed aboard the car, it was seen that his injuries werej not so bad as at first believed, though serious enough to incapacitate him for work for some time. ' While Reilly was being cared for the second accident occuraed. James Mur- phy, aged 42, a farmer residing in Greenfield Hill,walked directly in front of the approaching car as it was pass- ing Hayes’ corner in Fairfield. ‘NQ heed was paid to the ringing of the gong and he was struck and thrown quite a distance. He landed on the track and the frightened motorman with a power- ful effort brought the car to an abrupt stop which threw the passengers in the car from their seats. When Murphy was picked up it was feared that he had beenfikilled. Bleeding from lacerated hands and several cuts on the forehead he was taken aboard the car with the other victim. Arriving in Bridgeport the ambulance was summoned and he was taken to the emergency hospital. An examination showed that the left leg was fractured just above the ankle. The extent of the internal injuries were not determined. The patient was then transferred to the Bridgeport hospital. Reilly was taken to a doctor by his friends. ‘A‘ ‘vr The Trans-Mississlppi Exposition. The Trans-Mississippi Exposition means so much and proves so much that it ranks very closely with the Columbian Exposition as a revelation to the visitor. One of the most interesting features of the exposition, to an Eastern man, is the congress of Indians, which was brought together at the fair through the aid and co-operation of the govern— ment. ‘ All the principal tribes are represent- ed, from the Apaches to the Southwest to the Assiniboins and Sioux of the North. An Indian on foot is generally a rather dignified person, but a six foot warrior sitting back almost on the haunches of a disconsolate little pony is about the most ludicrous sight imaginable. Our illustration, for which we, are indebted to Harper’s .Weekly, shows a scene at the Indian - congress. ‘ ‘A‘ V" V The marriage of_Lewis H. Decker and .Miss HarrIet Olds, daughter of Mrs. Orso’n Stannard, of Elizabeth street, willvtake place at the bride’s home, some day the latter part. of this . month. Lyman Wins Easy. The Democratic congressional con- vention for the Fourth district named Charles P. Lyman, of Washington, as the candidate for Congress, at Dan- bury, on Tuesday. There were 126 dele- gates present, and it was nearly 12 o’clock when Isaac N. Bartram, of Sharon, rapped for order. The Con- gressional "committee recommended the selection of Attorney John J. Walsh, of Norwalk, as chairman and James L. McGovern, of Bridgeport, as secretary. Two contesting delegations appeared from Stamford and the committee on credentials had a fight on their hands at the beginning. Homer S. Cummings headed one delegation, who favored Mayor Bohannan, 0nd the other fac- tion was led by J. H. Swartwout and favored Mr. Lyman. Both delegations claimed regularity. The committee on credentials finally decided in favor of the Bohannan delegates. The conven- tion could not see it that way, and the trouble was finally adjusted by giving each delegate of both factions half a vote. Then the committee on resolutions reported as follows: RESOLVED. That the Democrats of the Fourth Congressional district in convention assembled, hereby ratify and affirm the time honored principles of Democracy as laid down in the plat- form adopted by the Democratic state convention held at Bridgeport, Sept. 21, 1898. - RESOLVED. That we most heartily endorse all of the candidates nominated by said convention and recommend them to the sulfrages of the electors of, commonwealth; be It further tlsSOLVED. That We urge upon the electOrs of this district the neceSsity of having a representative in the Nation- al House of Representatives who rep- machine or favored few. J. D. TOOMEY, JR., JAMES MEEDERA, ROBERT N .‘POST, M. J. BRADLEY, J. W. SMITH, Committee on Resolutions. After the report of the committee on resolutions had been accepted the con- vention proceeded to the naming of candidates. Mr. Lyman’s name was presented by Judge Addis of New Mil- ford. Mayor Bohannan’s name was presented by Homer S. Cummings of Stamford. Mr. Swartwout seconded :Mr. Lyman’s name. There were 126 votes cast. Charles P. Lyman received 73% and Mayor Bohannan polled 501}. I. B. Bartram received 2. Mr. Lyman was declared the choice of the convention. Previous to the nomination the Fair- -field county caucus voted to endorse Bohannan by 40 to 37. Litchfield county caucus favored Lyman. Daniel Hanlon, of Norwalk, who re- cently forfeited a bond of $260, follow- ing one of his escapades, was surren- dered Tuesday morning, by his mother, Mrs. Johanna Hanlon, who was surety for his appearance. In the'criminal Court of Common Pleas at Bridgeport, he was fined $25 and costs, amounting to about $100, and ‘sentenced to serve ten days in jail after he had completed the 180 days which he is now serving.

The friends of several Stamford young men are having a good laugh over their misfortune of last Saturday night. The young men made a visit to their sweethearts In N orwalk, and tarried so long with the dear ones that they missed the last train for home." Their only alternative was to walk home, and this they did, pledging each other to secrecy. It leaked out, how- ever, as sucb things generally do, and the victims are being cruelly torment- ed.——Advocate. “- Commissioning in Joint Session. Paris, Oct. 12.—The United States and Spanish peace commissions held a separate session yesterday morning, preparatory to the fourth joint session, which began at two o’clock in the at- ternoon. Madrid, Oct. 12.—-The semi-official Correspondencla, touching upon the ne- gotiations now in progress at Paris, says: ' "Well informed circles assert that the peace negotiations are not proceeding satisfactorily. Senor Montero Rios has written asking for newlinstructions to enable him to come to an agreement with the American commissioners. His letters have been read at a meeting of the cabinet, and the ministers have agreed upon the terms of new instruc— tions, which will be sent before this morning’s meeting of the commission- ers. A minister has expressed the op-- lnlon that probably the Philippine ques— tion will not be dismissed, as the Am- ericans are also waiting for instruc- tions. Senor Montero Rios writes daily to Premier Sagasta and the foreign of- fice concerning the work of the Coznmis- sion. n. Trans Sent to the Tombs. New York, Oct. 12.——-William E. 'h‘a- vls, alias Dalton, who led a dual life for ten years, as a. burglar and a drum- .mer, and is said to have kept two fam- ilies, was held in the. Center street court yesterday in $1,500 bail on an affi- davit by Detective Fogarty, accusing him of having stolen property in his possession. He is held for examination until to— day, when it is expected that the wo- man, supposed to own the property, will be here from New Haven. l Score One For “My Lady.” Lady Blessington, who was accord- ed the name of “the gorgeous,” when Prince Louis Napoleon, the last Em- peror of the French, was in exile in London, was remarkably courteous to him, extending her hospitality in the most lavish way. After his accession to the throne. of France she was in Paris for a season, and somewhat naturally looked forward to an invi- tation from the Tulleries. Time pass- ed and none came. But at a. sumptu- ous ball given elsewhere the Emperor passed in the full splendor of his tri- umph. Catching sight of his benefac- tress, he smiled and said: “Ali, Lady Blessington! You remain in Paris for a time?” “Yes, sire,” said she; “and you?”——San Francisco Argonaut.
