gates were given power to appoint their
own alternates. , '
Speeches were then in order, and Hon.
C. W. Bell wascalled upon. He said
the political situation this year was one
of great singularity and without any
parallel in-hibtory. Never since 186i had
the country been so divided in its opiu-
ions. Still the skies- seemed bright and
everything pointed.” Republican suc-
cess.-althougli~ there -seemed to be a
spreading of the financial heresy over
the country. He believed that with good
hard fighting and solid work the party
would again obtain control of the
country, and carry the state of Connecti-
cut. The principles advanced in the
St. Louis platform were the best for Nor;
walk, the commonwealth and the na-
tion, had they should do all they could
to promote them; 1 ‘
Senator J. H. Ferris was introduced
as the gentleman whose name was being
prominently mentioned for the position
of lieutenant-governor. He said that,
like Mr. Bell,he believed the time was the
most-trying one since 186]. The party
Would have no walk-over, and would
have to make the campaign a hot one.
They must bury those Republicans who
are adopting a silver platform. and bury
them deep. If they had any encourage-
ment this fall they would spring up
again in the future and we 'would get
the benefit of their wild ideas. Mr.
Ferris said he had been in some of the
largest banking institutions in Hartford
during the day, and them was any
quantity of money on hand, which the
officials did not know how to employ on
account of the uncertainty. There
should be no hesitancy in deciding the
question for sound money, and he
thought with good work that fact
would be demonstrated November 3rd.
Councilman Robert Pearson said the
cry four yearsiko was, “Give us Grover.
and we‘ll all be iii clever," but we never
saw the clever. He differed from the
previous speakers in that he did not
think this campaign was to be compared
with 1862. lie was not at all alanned
about the peace of the country, and bad
.no doubt that sound money would win.
He thought every member of a trade
union should be a protectionist. He
could not understand how they could
favor free trade The Democratic party,
ho said, was not a mpinslble party,
and the party to be brought into or
was that for the people the Rope llcan
party. He spoke strongly of the re-
striction of emigration as a means of

that was carried into effect tin-re would

New Canaan has furnished much
material for social scandals of late, but
none possessing such remarkable fea-
taresas those brought to light by the
arrest of Oswald B. Smith, reported in
last Friday’s Sentinel. The charge
against Smith was so unusual that a
Stamford Advocate man went to New
Canaan to investigate it. . He heard
more stories than it would be right to
print, even were he sure they were true,
but it is .evident that, unless pending
litigation is withdrawn, the civil and
criminal courts of Fairlield County will
have lots of business from New Canaan
nextfall and winter.
To explain the arrest of Oswald R.
Smith without telling of the domestic
dilliculties of the Mead family would be
impossible. Everybody in New Canaan,
knows that Peter W. Mead and his wife
have not dwelt in counubial felicity for
many years. Polar says they lived an
acrimonious life ever since they were
married. down in Greenwich, three and
thirty years ago. She lived in Norwalk
before that, and held New Canaan.
By and by Peter embarked in business
in New York, and prospered fairly well.
Their home was in Brooklyn, and they
had two daughters. (ice of them is
married to a Norwalk man. ‘ The other
lives at home. The Mead place is one
of the prettiest in New Canaan. It is
on the Norwnlk mad, about a mile from
the village proper. The thouse looks
comfortable and the grounds are neat.
Behind it the ground slopcs downward,
then rises again to a hill crowned by a
forest that forms a picturesque back-
ground.
The domestic affairs of: the Meade
were so well known, in a town where
bverybody knows this business of every-
body clsc, that there was not much surv
priso when, six or cight weeks ago, it
was. announced that Mrs. Mead bad
sued ‘l’eter for divorce. ller lawyer is
J. B. Hurlbutt, of Norwalk. l’ctcr put
a copy of the complaint in his pin-lief:
and walked down to Norwnlk, where he
engaged Lawyer Walsh to defend him.
A formal answer was lib-d, denying the
charge, and it is drclarcd by i’cicr's
friends that between now and Hcptcin
her a cross suit will be entered, lllfi'lllcll
rcmarkablc testimony will be produced.
Soon after the Mcails came back to
New Canaan tolivc—which is about five
years ugly-Peter saw an opportunity to
make money by entering into a specula-
tion inNi-w York. To insure himself
against disaster in case the i'iitei'prisc
failed, hccxccutcd adccd transferring
the bulk of his propi-rty~said to be
ivorih $io,ono or music- to his wife.
They wcrelivingon fairly good terms
then. l’ctcr says shc agreed to hold the
property in trust for him, mid, when his
speculation Olli'l'lltlllllil were iiuislicd, to
convey it back toliiin. She never did.
[lo said the speculation was fairly suc-
cessful: anyway, he did not lose tho
inoncy ho invested in it. Wlicn h:- was
ready to involve back the property, sln~
was not ready to givc it to him. l'cicr
says that, insicad of this, she is trying
to get rid of him for grant and all. Mrs.
Mead tells a different story. and justifies
licr refusal to place the reins in l'cfcr‘s
hands. like will not fcll this story to
newspaper men. but says it will all come
out in court. it is snpposivl she will try
n show that Peter became dissipated in
llil habits and cruel in his manner.

Mrs. Mead had. valuable diamond ring.
When per! , household duties, she
often laid it, smooth in the dining
room. ltd : ed theiast time she
laid it there. _e household became cx-
cited. Finally 5 grand juror and a con-
stable were oonjulted, and Smith was
arrested, charged not only with theft,
but with the more serious crime of at-
tempted blackmail. The colored mun
employed LawyerHounecker to defend
him. To the charges drawn by Grand
Juror Norbct Basa, Smith refused to
plead, dcmurriag to the complaint.
After listening to brief testimony by
Mrs. Mead and Quinlan, Justice 1“. M.
Bliss found probable cause tohold Smith
for trial in the Superior Court. and fixed
bonds at $64!). The mother of the ac-
cused became his surety.
Quinlan told Justice Bliss that he had
.lli'lil‘d the negro say he would go to
Walsh (Mcad's lawyer) and “sell her
out," unless she gave him a large sum
of money; that, unless she. "came dawn
handsomely," he would "have her shut
up for life." '
That Smith had certain papers which
purported to be letters from Mrs. Mead.
or Quinlan, or both, there is no doubt.
Lawyer llonnecker has them now, and
neither will disclose their contents.
Still, folks in New Canaan have heard
what the nature of the letters is, and
they say that they are evidence of plois
against Peter. Peter heard of suchplots.
One time he heard that the negro was to
place a ladder against the vcriinda,cliuib
through a window into his bedroom,
iflllnl‘i.)f0l’lll him, and carry him off. If
Smith could do that lie is stronger than
he banks, for Mead weighs about 200
pounds. The victim was to be lilki‘li to
South Norwalk. placed in an oyster boat
and trunsymrtcd to Florida, where he
was in be kept in :i'hiit until after Mrs.
Mead obtained her divorce. Another
plot was to abduct i'ctcr and put him
aboard a whaling \‘i‘tlb'ill bound from New
London on a three years‘ cruise. Thcn
tlicrc was one in which the victim was
to be lured to a lulu-sonic house and
dragged by a woman. The simplest of
ill!‘ alleged plots was to push i’i-tcr from
a rowboat wiiilc ho was pulling up an-
clior after fishing. The negro was to be
paid *Inloo out of Mcad's insurance
money if he filli'i'l’t‘llCil.
Such arc the stories Mcad's friends
tell, but Mrs. Mead is silcut by her law-
yi-r'sudvice. “or friends say that it
will appear that illll‘ and not Mead was
to be the victim of a plot. and that tho
criiiic of forgery was committed‘wiu-ii

Surely there have been conspiracies in
New l'anaan. but which are the con-
spirators and which the victims no one
should attempt to judge until thc search-
light of judicial inquiry reveals the
truth.
Mrs. Mcad says she has suffered more
than she can tell, and that worry mid
pain have left their imprint on lll'r
countenance. Her husband spends most
of his time iu the village. and when he
wishes to go to Norwalk lu- fools it, be-

having copies of the same posted in

from Mr. Merrill was that a book be

would rocivo the attention of the select-
