THE RETURNS EXAMI‘NED.
’l'lu' Democratic illembcrs of the Committee
Refuse. to Take Part.
The special committee of the House
of Representatives to make inquiry
concerning the election returns for
state officers, assembled at the capitol
at. Hartford yesterday. Judge Stod-
dard, on behalf of the democrats, ad-
dressed the committee and' said that
the minority of the committee could
not see their way clear to go forward
with any investigation that extended be-
yond an examination of the fair returns
of the canvassing board, and that if
it was intended to proceed beyond the
returns and to take extrinsic evidence
that the democratic members would not
take part.
Mr. Case in reply, could not say what
evidence exactly would be submitted,
but said that there probably would be
evidence explanatory of the returns.
Judge Stoddard said that he desired to
be notified when ballot boxes were to
be opened, so that he could be present.
Mr. Case said he wanted the demo-
cratic members of the committeeto sit
with them if they would. He said that
their contention wag-that ythglreturns
were not legal 011 their face and that
the committee had the right to take
extrinsic evidence. The democratic
members then withdrew.
Returns were then brought in. from
New Haven, Branford, Naugat-uck,
North Stonington, Preston, Danbury,
Eastford, Plainfield, Canaan, Salisbury
and Middlefield. The total number of
ballots objected in these eleven town
were 110. Other returns were laid in
from New Britain, Killingsworth,
Brooklyn, \Vaterbury, Stratford and
Wolcott, in which ballots had been
objected to by the moderators as
not. being in conformity to law.
Thirty votes from Norwalk were thus
objected and to :there were111 ballots
from all these. places. Messrs. Disbrow
and Marigold of Bridgeport, also gave
evidence concerning the 130 “specke'd”
ballots rejected by the moderator and
said that it. was a defect of printing, It.
also appeared that Judge Morris was
credited with 20 votes too much in Nor-
wich, which would reduce the alleged
democratic claim of 26 majority to six.
The committee then adjourned to Mon-
day. January 19th, at 11 a. m."
WJII' IT 1SJWT BUILT.
Concerning the Ridgefield A2 Port
Chester R. R, the Greenwich Graphic
says :
“Summed up in anutshell, the reason
why the road is not built is simply be-
cause the compauy has not. the money
and cannot get it, but they hope to get
investors interested in it in a short time.
President Mead is a worker and is doing
his best to push matters. He has sunk
about $30,000 himself in the project."

near as can be. learned, the boy'fell

himself in obscurity until. his clothes-v
were dry. His long absence gave rise
to the alarming rumor of his death,_ .
which found many believers.

Our Brothers’ Lodge, I. O. O. F.,
came to the rescue'of the selectmen
very promptly, in their dilema as to
raising the money to pay the soldier’s
bounty, voted at last Saturday’s ,Town
Meeting. The trustee's‘of the lodge
having five thousand dollars on hand,
at once tendered it to the selectmen
by whom it was gladly accpted, and it
is out of this Odd Fellows’ money that
our soldiers are getting their long def-
ferred bounty. ‘ '
