Light, replied: “ " ‘Je want Mr. Light to represent this 1 :lof the town, and we hope to get 1 lough Republican votes in South Iiorwalk to elect Clarence Osborn to ;-epresent the Norwalk end, so that South Norwalk will have the greater influence at Hartford.” The old New England railroad ears have been taken 011 the Highland di- vision of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, and have been replaced with cars of the latter road. The old cars are being repainted and lettered with the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford name. Some new cars, just out of the shops, have been put on. the gHighland division. The 11:34 Boston express has a handsome new coach, which was put on yesterday. One. of the most interesting centen- aries connected with missions in the country, and particularly with the Congregational churches in Connecti- cut, is to be observed next month in Danbury. The centenary of. the Mis- sionary society of Connecticut will be formally celebrated by the general conference of Congregational churches ,to be held Nov. 15th, and the historical address on that occasion will be by the Rev. Dr. E. P. Parker, of Hartford. At a Democratic rally in Bridgeport, Tuesday evening, ex-Congressman De- Forest in his speech against Congress- man Hill said that the latter had “ se- cured the appointment of a son as a collector of customs at Porto Rico, ” and “the appointment of a son as Judge Advocate with the rank of captain.” As Mr. Hill has but one son, Lieut. Col. Fred. A. Hill. now acting as col- lector at Ponce, Porto Rico, Judge DeForest is a little wild in his state- ments. Over two years ago suit was brought for the Jennings Silver Plate 00., of Bridgeport against the Rogers Silver Plate 00., of Danbury. to secure an in- junction and damages for an infringe- ment of a patent on a mirror frame, de- signed by C. F. Mossman and aesigned by him to the Jennings” company. Judge Townsend has recently handed down a decision which restrains the Rogers’ company from continuing the manufacture and sale of such frames and referring the case to a special mas- ter to award damages. q, . . . . 1 he litigation over the su1t has con- tinued for a long time. Attorney John H. Light. the polished and gentlemanly speaker who made such a splendid oratorical effort in be- half o_f Senator George E. Lounsbury at New Haven has been unanimously en- dorsed for representative by the Dem- ..ocrats of South Norwalk. This insures a walker e1 foi.1\t.to1ney Light.

The County commissioners, office made a new record for the month of October, the last of the license year for all towns outside of Bridgeport.

The small stations in this vicinmy have frequently been broken into 111' late, but nothing of value has been taken because the station agents make it apoi‘nt to leave nothing that would likely attract a thief in the station. It is thought that these burg- Mrs. George Kunhardt, of Lawrence Mass, has been the guest of her fathei , Mr. James H. Knapp of West avenue South Norwalk. The Democrats of East Norwalk are thoroughly disgusted with the South Norwalk Democrats for nominating John H. Light on their ticket, and do not hesitate to_ say‘ that it was a “sell out” pure and simple, which they will not approve of on election day. Resplendent in new suits and new buttons, the employes of the Consoli— dated railroad, present a. very neat appearance. Yesterday the new or- der regarding the clothes of the rail- road men went into effect. The new suits are not materially changed from those of previous sea- sons. The conductors, station mas- ters and ticket agents appear in single breasted cutaway coats with gold but- tons, while the breakmen and those in the lower positions wear the double breasted sack coats with silver but- tons. Black shoes only are allowed and they must shine to a degree of brilliancy almost dazzling. The usual white shirt and collar with small black bow or four-in-hand ties are down on the list. The usual peaked cap with the gold or silver plate denoting the position of the wearer also glows in its pristine beauty. This cap is to be woz n in the regulation way, straight. on the head, tipping on the side or back of head strictly forbidden, and unlucky is the employe who is caught with his cap cooked over his right eye in emulation of the English soldier. Notwithstanding the many reports to the contrary, Dr. Nancy Guilford, the alleged murderer of Emma Gill of Southington, has not admitted her identity and does not propose to. It has been stated again and again that' there was no doubt in the minds of the London police as to the identity of their prisoner and neither is their in the minds of the local police but the fact remains that Dr. Guilford still denies it. She still maintains that she is Mrs. Wilbur of California. She has asked several times who is to take her to America but the officers have in- formed her that they do not know. It- is expected that when she sees her old friends, Matron Hill and Detective Cronan, there will be a scene. The London police have tried again and again to get her to reveal her iden- tity. She has been asked repeatedly to reveal who she is. In most instan- ces she replies: “I am a poor unfor- tunate woman,” and then bursts into tears. It is expected that the detec- tive and his prisoner will not sail until about Nov. 12. The law in England gives the prisoner 15 days after the hearing in which to file an appeal to the higher courts. If Dr. Guilford in- sists on this right, it will delay the re- turn trip. XVhen Frank Perkins of Middleboro, Mass, arrived in that towu with a body which he supposed was that of his cherished daughter Grace, he was con- fronted by the much mourned girl in full life and health, it was thought that he would have been willing to stand the expense of returning the body to Bridgeport, that a further identifica- tion might be made. He might have been happy at the sight of his daugh- ter’s safe return, but that happiness was limited. It did not reach as far as his pocketbook and now the state will have to bear thelexpense incurred by his mistake. Coroner Doton has received a notice from the Adams’ Express company to the effect that the bill for the shipment of the body amounting to $13 had been presented to Mr. Perkins for payment by the agent at Middleboro, but that he had refused to honor the claim and re- tun ned it fo1 payment. It might have been that he was supers stitious in regard to the amount of the bill presented, but as he did not offer to pay any share of the expenses incurred in the prepara- tion of the body for removal, it is thought that something other than more superstition dominated his feelings. Coroner Doten believed that Mr. Per- kins should have been compelled to pay the entire amount. He is convinced that the identification of Emma Gill as tlfioody of his own daughter was not an honest identification. For this re.:.-- son he believes that he should pay the expenses. The coroner says that from the very first he did not believe that the claim on Lhe remains by Mr. Per- kins was a satisfactory one and was criticised at the time because he took every precaution to see that the iden- tification was right. It turned out that he was right and those who condemned him were wrong. When Mr. Perkins arrived in Bridge- port, he was met by a delegation of New York newspapermen, who were on the scent for a sensation. They all wanted to be the first to complete the identification of the body and clear up the mystery which at that time was dark and gioony. Coroner Doten is of the opinion that the newspapermen filled Mr. Perkins with all kinds of stories in relation to the appearance of the dead girl and convinced him that she was his daughter before he saw the remains. Then as there was a general resemblance, the father an- nounced that he was sure of the identification and took the body away. laries have been the work of tramps. _ In every case, access has been gained »in the same way. A pane of glass has been broken and the latch taken off the window. 1 It is probable that the stlte will be ' called upon to pay for the .mistake, as the express company’s charges are le- i gal and must be satisfied by some one. i l 1 So much has been said relative to l Norwalk voters cutting the candidates ]nominated in South Norwalk, that we l publish the vote for representatives at lthe last state election in November, 1896. .

Hurlbutt 1317 980 424 Frost 1310 1013 435 It will be seen from the above vote that General Frost fell behind Mr. Hurlbutt just'l votes in the first dis- trict, while Mr. Hurlbutt fell behind Gen. Frost 33 votes in the second dis— trict. Murderer Willis showed no interest when handed his reprieve Tuesday af- ternoon by Chief Clerk Rood of the governer’s office. He was called out of his cage at Wethersfield by Warden Woodbridge and stood in the corrider in front of the cage when Mr. Rood handed him the reprieve. The nature of the document was ex- ’. plained to him by the warden, but he simply glanced at it, thanked Mr. Rood and without changing countenance walked back to his cell[ He is a very fair appearing man, having nothing criminal in his appearance, but the warden says that he has all the indica- tions of a degenerate and his conversa- tion and actions show that he has very little appreciation of the distinction be- ,tween right and wrong. If eventually hanged the warden expects that he will go to his doom in the same stolid, in- different manner which he has mani- fested since his trial. The text of Gov- ernor Cook’s reprieve is as follows:— Whereas, it appears to me that a re- prieve ought to be granted to Ben- jamin R. Willis, now under sentence of death passed by the superior court for Fairfield county- at its criminal term held at Danbury, in said county. on the second Tuesday of May, A. D., 1898. Now, therefore, I, Lorrin A. Cooke, governor of the state of Connecticut, by virtue of the pOWer and authority vested in me as governor of said state, by the constitution thereof, do hereby order that the execution of said sen- tence be suspended and postponed, and do hereby grant a reprieve to said Benjamin B. Willis, until Friday, the 30th day of December, A. D., 1898, when, before the hour of sunrise thereof the said sentence of, death passed by said superior court, shall be executed in the same manner as or- dered and adjudged by said court, and a warrant for such execution, reciting the original order and sentence of said court, and this reprieve, shall be is- sued by the clerk of said court, and ex- ecuted by the warden of said prison, or his deputy, in the same manner as ordered and adjudged by said cou1t, unless said Willis be otherwise dis- charged by due course of law.

DOES SHE FEAR RUSSIA? London Thinks the St. Petersburg Govern- ment Plans to Take Advantage of the Anglo-French Strained Relations. Eng- land Fears She Means to Seize the Port of New Chwang. Wei- Hai- Wei, Nov. 3.—All the Brit- ill warships here, the first class cruis- er Narcissus, the second class cruiser Hermione, the torpedo boat destroyer Whiting, the torpedo boat destroyer Fame, the torpedo boat destroyer Han- dy, and the first class gunboat Peacock, have cleared for action, and are ready for sea. at a. moment’s notice. The first class battleship Victorious and the first class cruiser Undaunted at Che Foo, not far from here, are coaling to their full capacity. The greatest secrecy is maintained as to the meaning of these warlike preparations, but there is no doubt that important instructions are expected at any moment. A large Russian fleet is assembled at Port Arthur J l Think Russia Plans 3 Move. London, Nov. 3.——The dispatch from VVei-Hai-Wei, announcing the war pre- parations of the British naval authori~ tics there is regarded here as being of grave importance, coupled with the An- glo‘French war preparations. It is surmised that Russia, profiting by the present strained relations be- tWeen Great Britain and France, has decided to push forward her aims in the far East by forcibly seizing the valuable treaty port of New-Chwang, which Great Britain cannot permit, it is said. A dispatch from Shanghai, receiva ed in this city October 20, said: “A Russian regiment occupied the town of New-Chwang and the forts at the mouth of the river Liaou on Octo- ber 5. The native troops fled without making any opposition, under orders from the empress dowager and Li Hung Chang. “A British gunboat was in the river at the time. Its non-resistance is re- garded as the virtual British abandon— ment of the whole of Manchuria to the Russians, and gives Russia an invalua- ble strategic position. “Great Britain is certain to lose the New-Chwang trade, of which she has had eighty per cent.” Ezcltement at Esqulmault. Vancouver, B. 0., Nov. 3.—Admira.l Pallison’s secretary, who had left here for an up country point, has been ure gently telegraphed to return to Esqui- mault at once. All is excitement in naval circles. The Scotsmen of Vancouver, recogniz- ing the gravity of the situation, offer to raise a regiment and place the same at the disposal of the government for service either at home or abroad. Fashoda Not Settled. London, Nov. 3.-—A semi-official note issued last evening, relative to the re- ports of a settlement of the Fashoda question, says: “The matter is substantially in the same position as when the Blue Book and Yellow Book were published. It is not anticipated that France will take further action until Major Mar- chand’s arriv-al'at Cairo on Thursday, when explanations will be forthcoming as to his reason for leaving Fasho- da." Frenchman Arrested at Dover. London, Nov. 3.—A Frenchman has been arrested at Dover for attempting to enter the big gun turret on the ad- miralty pier there. The November Elections. New York, Nov. 3.—Elections for rep- reSentatives in congress will be held next Tuesday, November , in all of the states, with the exception of Maine, Oregon and Vermont, in which three states representatives to the Fifty- sixth Congress have already been cho- sen. In thirtystwo of the states more or less important state officials will be chosen—twenty-one of the thirty-two electing governors, and in thirty-one states legislatures will be elected, twenty-three of the legislatures then chosen to have the choice of United States senators. Important constitutional amendments will also be voted upon in several of the states. Big French Prize to America. V‘Vashington, Nov. 3.——Charles A. Schott of the Coast and Geodetic sur- vey, has been awarded by the French Academy the Wilde prize of forty thou- sand francs. This is the first time the prize has been awarded and the committee had the entire scientific world to choose from. The prize was given to Mr. Schott for his work in territorial magnetism and chiefly for the theoretical investi- gations for determining the variations of magnetic elements. ‘ Bay Train.Robbers Sentenced. St. Joseph, Mo., Nov. 3.—James Hat- haway and Alonzo Maybury, both 18 years old, who belonged to a. band of messenger boys who held up and at- tempted to rob a. Burlington express train near here, in August, were sen- tenced to five years in the penitentia- ry. The others of the band received ten year sentences several days ago. The oldest of the convicts is but 22 years of age. Soldiers' Votes Arrive. Albany, Nov. 3.-—Secretary of State Palmer has received the first ballots from this state’s volunteer soldiers in the United States service. They were in an express package from New York, and although there is nothing on the package to indicate from which regi- ment they came, it is believed they are from the Twenty-dbcond, doing garri- son duty at Fort Slocum, and the first regiment to vote.
