General Hawley Wins Out.
General Joseph R. Hawley has
been nominated by the Republican
caucus of the Connecticut general as-
sembly as a candidate to succeed him-
self as the junior United States senator
from Connecticut, and at a later date
he will be elected. by the joint conven-
tion of the state legislature to serve his
fourth term in the United States Set.-
ate. I
The victory was well after one of the
hardest fought political battles ever
fought in the state, General Hawley‘s
competitors being the Hon. Samntl
Fessendcn, of Stamford, and Hon.
Morgan G. Bulkeley, of Hartford.
The battle commenced when the lit-
publicans of the house of representa-
tives and the state senate met in a joint
caucus in the representatives' hall at, 3
o’clock. The victory of General Haw-
ley was not secured until three full
hourshad been consumed, and nearly
all 0' Lhat time was occupied in ballot-
ing. Technically or officially there
wer- seven ballots, but practically nine
baliots were taken. On the third bal—
ot it was discovered that a total of 199
ballots had won cast.
At this time, however there were but.
197 members in the caucus, and the bal—
lot was thrown out. A new ballot was
ordered, with the same result, and the
third ballot- was thus taken three times
before the difficulty was removed. Sen-
ator Hawley was at\ all times in the
lead, but until the final ballot was cast
and countedhis margin was too nar-
row to permit of great confidence. The
first ballot found the senator just two
votes short. In other words it required
but the change in one vote to give him
the nomination. The second ballot,
however, Shevvcd a loss for Hawley of
four, and a corresponding gain for his
nearest competitor, Mr. Fessenden.
On the third ballot Fessenden gained
one, and repeated it in the next two,
Senator Hawley meanwhile losing sev;
on. On the sixth ballot Mr. Fessenden
dropped two, while General Hawley
was given seven of the votes which he
had lost, and on the next ballot he was
carried through with 117 votes, and a
few minutes later Mr. Kencalcy moved
to make it unanimous, and General
Hawley was declared the nominee of
the caucus amid cheers, which became
deafening as they were reinforced by
the throngs in the Capitol lobbies,
which had patiently waited during the
long balloting process.
The caucus was called to order by
Senator Keelcr, president pro tem. of
the senate. Speaker Brandegcc of the
house was speedily chesen chairman of
the caucus, and the newsplper men
and all outsiders were invited to leave
the hall.

The announcement of. the result
caused something of a sensation and it
was believed that General Hawley
would easily secure on the next ballet
the necessary two votes to carry him
through. The loss of four votes on the
second ballot, however, and his sub-
sequent lOSSes, tended to discourage
the Hawley supporters and correspond-
ingly encourage those of Mr. Fessen-

It was upon the next ballot that ex—

Governor and four to Congressman
Russell, and the fight was over.

The caucus became wildly enthusias-
tic and its enthusiasm was communi-
cated to the corridors. A Fessenden
enthusiast in the lobby cried out; “Our
Sam, -a1though defeated we love him
still,” and called for three cheers for
the defeated candidate. They were
given roundly. The Hawley leaders
immediately responded with cheers for
Hawley and followed with hurrahs for
Bulkeley and Fessenden.
At the close of the caucus Represen-
tative Kenealy, the leader of the Fes-
scnden forces, received the following :
Hon. Michael Kenealy, House of
Representatives, Hartford, Conn:
I thank you and through you all of
my friends for their loyal, whole-
sonled support. I am a Republican by
birth, education and training and be-
lieve the edict of our party caucus is
supreme. I therefore congratulate the
nominee, General Hawley. and the
people of the state and nation upon the
Connecticut senatorial contest of 1899.

The’ Partridge Carbon Com-
pany Will Not Locate Their
Plant in Norwalk.
Some time since a representative of
the Partridge Carbon company of San-
dusky, Ohio, visited this city for the
ostensible purpose of securing the loca-
cation of the plant in Norwalk.
The proposition met with favor and
Messrs. W. F. Acton, E. M. Lockwood
and E. S. Adams were appointed a com-
mittee by the board of trade to open
negotiations to the end that the plant
be established here. ,
The chairman of the committee, Mr.
Acton, was this morning in receipt of
the following letter: ,
NEW YORK, Jan. 11th, 1899.
DR. W. F. ACTON, CHAIRMAN,
DEAR SIR :—I have just received a
brief note from the Partridge Carbon
Co, saying “We cannot entertain the
proposition submitted by the commit-
tee in Norwalk as we are negotiating
with other parties.” .
The inclosed item from the N. Y
Herald of yesterday probably explains
the reason of their action. The item is
all the information I have on the sub-
jcct.
I regret that our negotiations are
terminated, and that so much time has
been lost by the committee and others
in connection with this enterprise.
I fully appreciate the courtesies ex-
tended to me during our negotiations
and the efforts of the committee to con-
summate them, and hope to ~~retain the
friendship shown me, notwithstanding
the discourtesy of the Partridge Car—
bon Co.
Than-“ting the committee for its time
and labors, and hoping to meet its
members again under more favorable
conditions. I remain
Yours, very truly,
W. A. MINER.
'l‘hc “ item ” referred to in the above
letter is to the effect that the Partridge
company has been absorbed by the Na-
tional Carbon company which has a
capital of $10,000,000.

Fashion’s fancies.
Black velvet ribbons edge the mass
of white ruffles which form the petti-
coat front to some evening gowns. The
skirt proper of the gown is of some
pretty color shaped off into a train at
the back, and slightly draped at the
sides. Model gowns of this style show
the Princess and tight-fitting effect in
the back. The bodice of a gown with
a. ruffled petticoat of this kind will fre-
quently have a wide pointed opening
from the shoulders to the waist, also
filled in with ruffles of the white,
though narrower, edged with the nar-
row black velvet ribbon to match the
petticoat.
Fringe is rather the most novel
trimming at moderate price. I should
say. So new is it. yet so smart, that
the dealers, while they do not at-
tempt to keep in stock any colors in
all widths but black and white, make it
to order in whatever shade and depth a
patron fancies.
Such fringe. silk, is (211.2. A gown
of bluet poplin, trimmed with bands
of bluet satin and fringe of the same
shade, is simple and modish.
Buttons as ornaments are in high
favor. Any strange button or but-
tons corresponding with the gown for
which it is purposed to use them may
be employed fashionably. Rarely are
they used, except on shirt waists, for
actual fastenings.
Glass buttons are novel for fanciful
afternoon gowns. They are the size
of small marbles, made from glass.
which is uncolored and cut.
Pearl buttons, white, are the fast-
enings of colored flannel shirt waists,
even dark plaid. It is queried Whether
the gentler feminine vocabulary has
not been too delicate to express the
strain from the daily use of disappear-
ing shirt studs. Anyway, they have
gone. _i sq Eh}:
Some haberdashers, in the ecstasy
of novelty, run double rows of brass
buttons from the belt to the neck of
their blouses, along the two box plaits
which, one on either side of the front,
distinguish many new waists. But
they are too much. “Much too much.”
as the popular heroine says in “the
greatest play since Shakespeare’s.”
Newest. Trimmings. W
Medallions, open-work blocks, mo-
hair, and other silky wool braids in
applique effects are very fashionably
used as a garniture for stylish cloth
costumes. This form of trimming in
newer and more dressy than flat tours
of braid, although this simple form 6!
decoration is still in favor. The me~
dallion scroll and arabesque style of
ornamentation appeal more especially
to women who are fond of color and
elaborate effects, and it is at this sea-
son of the year that brilliant tones are-
most effectively and . appropriately
worn. These new appliques give
marked effect to the gown, but they
also add considerably to the weight
of the dress, especially the deep border
patterns in silk cord, alternating with
Van Dyked designs in jet. The best
choice are the novelties in feather-
weight mohair weaves.
