The quo warranto case, involving the Governorship, came up Friday in New Haven before Judge Thayer and went over to next Friday on Judge Sto ddard’s statement that there was a probability that the counsel would shortly come to an agreement on the case. If they do agree, the case will go at once to the supreme court. contention is as to whether the General Assembly has the right to go back of the returns when there is manifest er- ror in them. All beside this one point is incidental. If the moderators are to rule Connecticut and voters are to be subject to them, it is well to know it. On the other hand, if six senators, some Of whom in private admit, says the Courant, that they are only posing for party effect, can be induced to quit pos- ing and do something, the whole state will be thankful. — ———————« .0.» ~— Lottery Tickets. The lottery people of Louisiana. promise to pay the state a million and ,a quarter dollars for the privilege of having full swing under pr otection of the law. That is the bribe publicly offered for the legal right to conduct a business which is so infamous, says the New York Herald, that nearly every other section of the civilized world interdicts it by heavy penalties. This million and a quarter will be ex- pended in the support of schools and charitable institutions. That is to say, a great State in a great Republic is asked to base its school system and its various charities on a lottery ticket as their chief corner-stone. This anomaly would be startling enough to be incredible were in not i for the fact that‘ the movement is being pushed with vigor and is more than likely to succeed. The question will soon be decided at the polls, and pressure is being brought to bear on all classes to induce them to give their assent. CO.

Benedict’s 51s— ter was about to retire at her home, number 26 West avenue, she glanced out of the window and discovered that the barn a short distance in the rear of the house was afire. She alarmed her brother, who had just retired, and he only waiting to put on his trousers, ran out to the barn and with the help of Captain Russell succeeded in getting his horse and carriage from the burn- ing building. Box 17 of the fire alarm was pulled and about the same time box 3 was pulled. This was confusmg to the firemen but they were not long in locating the blaze, and succeeded in saving buildings near by. The frame- work of the barn, a heavy oaken one, was also saved. About two tons of hay and grain, together with some tools, etc., were burned. The fire was en- dently the work of an incendiary and was started in the hay loft. A hennery attached to the barn, and in which ,there was considerable poultry, was also destroyed with its contents. Dr. Benedict says that he was in the barn half an hour previous to the discovery of the fire and everything was all right then. The firemen did excellent ser- vice' and are deserving of all credit. The loss is covered by insurance. + Ran into the Horse Cars. Theodore C. Prince, of West Nor- walk, hada narrow escape from a ser- ious accident, Saturday evening, on West avenue. He was turning the cor- ner of Berkeley street into the avenue, with his horse and buggy, just as the car which left Norwalk at 8.11 came on- to the switch, and thinking that the car was going in the direction'of Norwalk, he attempted to cross the track. The car happened to be gomg the other way and the shaft of Prince’s carriage struck one of the car horses, scraping the skin off his side for a considerable space. The shaft then went through the rail- ing on the front platform and struck a passenger, who happened to be stand- ing on the platform, in the eye. mak- ing a slight abrasion of the skin; ‘ The shaft of the carriage was broken and the harness suffered likewise. Prince saved himself from going under the car wheels by jumping from his car- riage. The carriage was taken to Greg- ory’s stable and another one secured, lifter which Prince proceeded ” to has ome. . Ex-Gov. Bigelow Dead.

Capt. John S. Conklin, Sr., of East avenue is circulating a petition asking the Selectmen to call a special town meeting to take steps to prevent the “worm pirates” from New York, oper- ating on our shores. These men come from New York and dig for sand and other kinds of worms which are sold at that city for bait, and the business has rown to quite an extent in the past ew years. In digging they destroy in- numerable round and soft shell clams, and not infrequently large numbers of oysters. —~~ ——-———< o r Observing Yom Kippur. To-day, as in the days of Moses and Aaron, devout Hebrews are in their s nagogues reading the law, confessing t eir sins and praying for reconcilia- tion to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They may crave food, but not until the evening star gleams in the sky to-night will the orthodox Hebrew taste nourishment. They celebrate the fast of Yom Kippur, or Atonement. ' The fast began at sundown yesterday and will end at sundown to-niirht. In the Hebrew calendar it falls on the tenth HiayofflE-i i. which brings it, accord— mg to the 'Christianwé‘alen ‘ ' September or early in October. -A—OO. A Sunday Morning Blaze- As Earnie Cornell turned the corner of ' Water street, yesterday morning, about 9:30, on his way to church, he noticed smoke pouring out, as he thought, of Sloan’s novelty store. He gave an alarm and‘druggist Hale pulled box 15, which quickly brought the fire- men to the scene. The fire proved to be the awning in front of the store, which had probably been set afire by throwing a lighted cigar butt or match onto it. It was extinguished by the tenants above with a few pails of water before the firemen arrived. The centre of the awning was burned out, but $10 W111 cover all damages. A Harvest Service. Yesterday, the Harvest services were impressively rendered at the First Bap- tist church, with the objective lessons of pumpkins, beans, squashes, corn, potatoes and fruits, and vegetables in general adorning the pulpit, chancel, etc. It made one’s mouth water with a sort of Thanksgiving day prophecy and realization of these products of God’s abundant blessings in these luscious fruits of the earth for man’s sustenance and delight. Rev. Mr. Robbins preached an able, earnest and eloquent sermon from the text: “Let Zion praise Thee, O God of the Harvest”. In the evening the young people ren- dered the regular annual and exceed- in 1y interesting Harvest programme. o~morrow the ladies will have a cake sale and sociable at the church prayer meeting rooms. Wait for the Big Show. A manager who expends thousands of dollars in order that nothing will be neglected that might add to the enj oy- ment of his patrons, certainly deserves success, and, as a rule, he generally gets 1t, if the public would endeavor to iscriminate between responsible com- panies and those who possess no sta- bility. There are plenty of good shows, but, unfortunately, there are hundreds which are utterly devoid of merit. Now, any one can tell at a glance if they see a magnificent new store with massive plate glass windows, that it necessanly calls for a great outlay of money to erect it, and the stock in such a store is generally of the finest. The same line of reasoning to theatrical enter- prises; for instance: when you see a show billed in the lavish and expenslve manner that characterizes “She Couldn’t Marry Three” company, you can rest- assured that there 1s money and push back of it. The beautiful, artistic pictorial lithographic work, is the finest and costliest on the road. N o litho raphing firm would attempt that kin of work without having ten thousand dollars down to insure them from loss. This is only one of the many items of ’a great show, and the same good taste which provides this beautiful printing will neglect no other department of the show. So there is not a doubt that the production of “She Couldn’t Marry Three”. is the biggest show of the season. . darn" late—mug ii NEW RAILROAD. __.__.._. Danbury to Have a Shorter Route to New York. Hat Manufacturers are the Stock- holders. The Hartford Oourant this morning says z—Danbury is to have a new rail- road line to New York, which will save twenty-eight minutes of traveling time to Danburians and afford a more direct line for freight. A new company has been formed, composed of local busi- ness men, and the capital subscribed for. The work has gone so far that the application for the new route has been filed in the secretary of state’s oflice. The new company will construct a branch line to Katonah, near the state line, on the Harlem railroad, and will there connect with that road, running their trains into the Grand Central depot. The line will be known as Ives branch, and is the conception of Isaac W. Ives of Danbury. A survey was made several years ago and the new branch would have been under way last year had not some of the Consolidated road ofiicials upset the scheme. This time a new set of men took hold of the project and perfected their plans in secret so that the fact came out to-day for the first time. The new railroad linkis supposed to run parallel with the New England road from Danbury as far as the fair grounds and will then branch 011' to- wards Ridgefield, and over to Katonah. The new company anticipates trouble from the New England and Housatonic roads, but is ready to meet it. It is said,.however, that the New England will not fight the new company, for the reason that it may eventually give them a direct route into New York. The di- rectors of the Ives Railroad Branch met Saturday night and chose Daniel C. Holly president, Daniel Meeker vice- president, E. N. Barntem secretary, Alfred N. Wildman treasurer. The stock is taken by the principal hat man- ufacturers here. «4+ News for Bald Heads- Dr. Mapother finds that a diet of oatmeal and brown bread greatly pro- motes “the growth of hair.—Medical ‘wggqfl ~ . ....,.,.W~_..<.«,-..=.. ." _.

The Consolidated road has nearly completed the placing of steam heat 1n the cars of its line, as required by the ' New York laws. Several different meth- ods are being tried, with the result that the indirect hot water system appears to be preferable to direct steam heat- ing. The Baker heaters are left in the cars in view of possible emergencies. O. Horse Thief Captured.

Chairman Warner expressed regret at the absence of Governor .Pattison, ex- plaining that the governor had been de- tained by other engagements. Adjutant General McClelland, of Governor Patti- sou’s stafi, was introduced, and warmly welcomed the delegates to the state of Pennsylvania and highly commended the objects of the association. The Hon. H. I. Gourley, mayor of Pitts: burg, welcomed the congress to the cities of Allegheny and Pittsburg. After. a. se- lection of music on the grand organ the president of the association, ex-President R. B. Hayes, responded to the address of welcome and delivered the annual address. Mr. Hayes said that a. large majority of the prisoners accused or , convicted Of crime in the United States are dealt with in just and wise principles. He condemn‘ ed the short term sentences of professional criminals, and the discharge of criminals at the expiration of their terms under such circumstances that they are compelled to makea living by a return to their evil ways. The appointment of wardens. and prison officers as reward for political influ- ence without regard to qualification and consequent removal for partisan consid- erations was roundly denounced. Mr. Hayes claimed that these facts alone would sufficiently explain the increase of crime in the United States. The answer to the question, “How long shall a pris- oner be kept in confinement?” is “Until he is cured of his original habits, if it keeps him a convict until the end of his life.” fi'ilson Still Absent. . CHICAGO, Oct. 12.—Joseph L. Wilson, the clerk of Judge Tuley’s court, Whose mysterious disappearance has caused such a. sensation in court circles, has not yet been found. It was feared at first that Wilson, who is the receiver of several large estates, had gone the way of the- bank cashier and left his creditors to mourn his untimely departure, but in- vestigation fails to reveal any considcr- ' able crookedness in his accounts. It ap pears that'he cannot. at the most, be more than $1,700 short, if he is short at all, and that amount he can easily replace. The most plausible theory advanced regarding his disappearance is that he is simply away on a debauch. ncgnlding Parneu’s Funeral. DUBLIN, Oct. 12.—_The Express, com- menting upon the dilemma. in which the McCarthyites are placed, owing to the op position to their attending Mr. Parnell’§ funeral, says: “Will they venture to fol. low to the grave the man Whom they fawned upon for years and then hunted tc death? Their vile and cowardly insults failed to crush his proud spirit, but they broke his heart. With what feelings Woulc they regard their handiwork?” 7—,.— .——-utz,
