.who some five-and-thlrty years ago

: porter of 'the New Haven Register.
‘j‘substantially, that the talk of his
, nomination by the Democratic State
convention is futile. inasmuch as he
{would not accept a nomination if it
Ware offered him. “Of course every

,toid the Interviewer, “but I don't

lish evidently sees a difference be
tween running for the office this year,
on a Democratic ticket, and getting it.
‘ - All of which shows him to be a man
of observation, discrimination and
caution. “Hope springs eternal," they
, say, but. it doesn't always. It has got
to have some rational basis behind it
, (before Mr. English will make room
for it in his bosom.

loss from last night’s fires, the cessa-

thought that the loss will go well

a number of italians selling lntoxI‘

to visit Middletown and secure evi-

any. The officers bought beer in five
places. one of which was licensed, on
a Sunday. Superintendent Egan com-

the men whose place. had been visited

yesterday morning and came down

BUCHANAN GIVES STATEMENT.
Says Firm of A. 0. Brown}. Company
Wars in a strong Position.
NEW YORK, August 27.—E. T.
Buchanan, of the suspended Stock Ex-
change firm of A, 0. Brown & Com-
pany. gave out a statement today giv-
ing details of the examination of the
members of the firm yesterday by the
committee which the exchange ap-
pointed to probe Saturday's extraor-
dinary market doings. . ,
"We were unable to answer all-the
questions put to us," the document
declares. "without. referring -to our
books, and some of the questions were
of such a character that we consider- .
ed them impertinent.”
The cause of the assignment Is stat-
cd in this document to have been the .
refusal of the banks to give the firm
the usual daily certification to take
care of their business. “also the atti-
tude taken by the officials and mem‘
bers of the New York Stock Ex-
change.”
“The flrm's position was strong," ~
adds Mr. Buchanan in his formal ex-
planation, "and i was perfectly able .
to meet all obliga one." He says fair -
treatment would have enabled them
easily to avoid any trouble and he adds
that all the losses sustained were due '
to the bidding up of prices during the
. oeprations of buying In the stock that
they were to deliver.
BEAUTIFICATION 0F POPE Plus.
ROME. August 27.—The Rev. D. J.
McMackin, of New York, has been as
pointed propostnlator in the process of
the beautification of Pope Pius 1X.
This means that Father McMackln
will make researches, and examine
documents in America regarding Pope
Plus in connection with his beautifica-
tion. Cardinal Creteni, prefect of the
Congregation on Rights and lndulgem
cost, has received a mysterious intima-
tion to suspend the process of beautifi-
. cation from a man named Falconterl,
who claims to be the heir to proper’
ties fraudulently snbstracted from his
family by Pope Pius IX. This action,
Falconlert writes, shows that Pius 'IX
did not possess the virtues necessary
for beautification.
