' That old and reliable cuckoo, the St.
, Louis Republic, sees nothing to dis-
courage Democrats in recent political
occurrences. Having already disposed,
to its own satisfaction at least, of the
spring elections in New York, Rhode
Island, Indiana, Ohio, and elsewhere,
it now takes up the Oregon and Illinois
manifestations, and, dismissing the for-
mer with a few contemptuous Words of
disparagement, explains the Illinois
affair in this way:
“The election in the fourth supreme
judicial district of Illinois was. due to
Democratic carelessness and indiffer-
once, not to Republican gains. The
Chicago Herald correctly points out
that the three countiesof Cass, Menard,
‘ and Scott polled a total vote of only
6,570, against 9,742 in 1882. The vote
in Cass shows a Democratic loss of 861
and a Republican loss of 191; in Menard
the Democratic loss was 651 and the
Republican loss 262; in Scott the Dem-
ocratic loss was 381. The vote of the
Populists and Prohibitionists was cast
for the Republican nominee. It will
be seen, therefore, that‘ the so-called
Republican ‘gains’ in the Illinois elec-
tion were not gains at all, but Demo-
cratic losses,and Republican losses, the
latter winning by reason of the fact
that the losses of the former were
greater. Stay-at-home Democrats are
responsible for the defeat of their tick-
et in Illinois.”
It isa curious coincidence that ex-
actly this argument applies to the na.
tional elections of 1802, as a. result- of
which the Democratic party now con-
trols both the evccutive and the legisla-
tive branches of the government. In
, that also it may be said, and with per-
fect justice, that the so-called uprising
of the people in favor of Mr. Cleveland
was in fact nothing but a wholesale dee
linquency on the part of the Republican
voters. Both parties lost votes in No-
vember, 1892 The result was not an
indication of popular sentiment, but a
demonstration of popular indifference.
All this,however, is beside the question.
The refusal of Democrats or Republi-
cans to vote for their party’s candidates
is as significant as any political sign
could possibly be. It means that think-
ing men have lost confidence and inter-
est and that they no longer feel con-
ceniied in the party’s success. When
Democrats become’bareless and inert it
is because they are disappointed and
indignant, and when so many of them
get into this frame of mind that a tra-
dilioniill y safe Democratic district falls
into the hands of the Republicans it
requires an unusual effort of cuckooism
to contemplate the situation with com-
placency.
We rather think that the Republic’s
point is‘weak. Party indiffierence and
disgust constitute as effective a factor
in politics as party fervor and enthusi-
asm.
Panic at a Circus.
The storm which passed over this
city at 8 o’clock Tuesday evening crea-
ted great havoc with the W. H. Harris
circus, at Seaside park, Bridgeport.
When the show began the large tent
was crowded with spectators. The can.
vas was well worn and water poured in
upon the crowd in torrents, the hail
filling the top with holes. hortly
after 8 o’clock the ground was covered
”with; several inches of water and the
performers were carried,.in on the.
shoulders of the ,ring attendants.
About 8:45 o’clock the patrons were
startled to see a portion of the tent
fall. The crowd instantly rushed for
the exits and a panic would have re-
sulted had it not been for the presence
of mind of several policemen. One
woman fainted, which added to the ex-
citement. ,

Two Sectionshl’ a Freight Train
Crash Together Near the Depot.
A Car Loaded With Gasolene Takes
Fire and Three Men Badly
Burned.
At3 o’clock this morning an alarm
of fire from box 3 called the South
Norwalk fire department to a blazmg
freight car loaded with gasolene stand-
ing on the sidingjust below the Con-
solidated road’s depot. _ _'
The fire was caused by a freight train
breaking in two and the sections com-
ing together near the round house, tel-
escoping a box car loaded With gaso-
lene with a flat car. When the flat car
crashed through tle end of the box
car it also broke in the sides of several
barrels containing the gasolenc. The
noise caused by the cars coming to-
gether was heard a considerable dis-
. tance away, many taking ‘it for a blast.
When the crash came night yard mas-
ter James Carson and bi'ak‘eman A. Al-
vin ran to the scene. Just as they ar-
rived at the rear end of the box car
John McLaughlin, the “car tapper”
came out of his “shanty” on the east
side of the wreck with a lighted torch.
The gasolene was running from the
broken car and the air was filled with
gas, and as McLaughlin stepped out of
the door with the torch an explosmn
tobk place, and the cars and men be-
came a mass of flames. McLaughlin’s
blazing coat had to be torn from his
back and he was badly burned about
the hands and neck. Brakeman Alvm
was terribly burned about the face, but
stOod the pain like a hero. Yard mas-
ter Carson was burned about the hands,
but his face-escaped injury. _ ,
The injured men were taken to Plais-
ted’s drug store and then to Dr. Allen’s.
where everything possible was done to
relieve their intense suffering.
The box car continued to burn and
was nearly consumed, the fire not be-
ing extinguished until the heads of the
gasolene barrels were broken in by the
Old Well boys and the liquid allowed
to run out on the ground, where the
flames were soon put out by Putnam
Hose. The front end of the flat car
which had telescoped the box car was
entirely burned off. A large tally-ho
coach on the flat car was also destroyed.
By prompt work the remainder of the
freight train was drawn to a safe dis-
tanCe leaving only the two cars to be
consumed. .
The fire burned very fiercely at times
and it was not until 5: 30 that the flames
were extinguished.
In addition to the cars burned a por-
tion of the fence which skirts the Con-
solidated tracks and the “shanty” north
of Asch’s factory was destroyed.
Travel on the road was not delayed
for any length of time as the firemen
kept the flames confined to the box car,
allowing the trains to pass with safety.
Episcopal Convention. '
The 104th annual conference of the
Episcopal church diocese of Connecti-
cut, was held in Bridgeport on Tuesday.
Right Rev. John Williams, D. D.. L.
L. D., senior bishop of the Episcopal
church in the United States, presided.
Before the convention a communion
service was held, Rev. Dr. Samuel
Hart, of Trinity college, occupying the
pulpit. The communion rite was ad-
ministered by the bishop.
quickly completed. Various commit-
tees were appointed.
In his annual address Bishon Wil-
liams said: “The past year is one in
which I have not served the diocese as
completely as I could have wished. Yet
such interruptions of duty may occur
more frequently with advancing years.
One who has lived seven years beyond
his allotted three score and ten cannot
help arriving at such a conviction. I
hope if the time ever comes when the
diocese suffers for any inability of mine
you will deal frankly with me. For
years I have prayed that I might never
be a burden to it.”
In the past year Bishop Williams has
presided over 133 separate services and
confirmed 1,273 persons.
Three propositions were submitted
for the consideration of the convention
Tuesday afternoon looking to the pro-
vision of some means of pensioning
Episcopal clergymen broken down in
the harness. One came from Rev. Dr.
Harwood, of New Haven, 9. second
from the Hartford arch-deaconry, and
the third from A. Foster Higgins, a lay
member. ‘ .
The action taken was an amalgama-
tion of all three suggestions. Bishop
‘Williams was empOWered to appoint a
commission, which commission‘is in-
structed to raise a fund of $100,000, the
income of which shall be devoted to
the purpose mentioned. It is provided
that an existing fund, from which is
derived an income of about $4,000
yearly for the assistance of superann-
ated clergymen, shall remain undis-
turbed. The board of trustees of the
Episcopal school at Cheshire were auth-
orized to raise $50,000 to free the insti-
tution from debt and establish an en-
dowment. '
An amendment which is framed to
provide for the class of contingencies
suggested by the projected removal of
Trinity church Bridgeport to a new site
is the following :
Resolved, That Section 1 of Canon
1 be amended by the addition of the
following paragraph :
The site of any existing church or
chapel shall not be changed by any
parish without the approval of the
bishop, acting with the advice and con-
sent of the, standing committee; and
notification of application for such a
change of site shall be given by the
standing committee to the rector and
vestry of any other parish or parishes
within the same town or city. -
The report was accepted.
The canon is made more definite and
tends to insure, to other parishes the
same consideration in the building of
new church edifices by existing parish-
es as would be given in the formation
of entirely new parishes.
Music Teachers’ Convention.
The second day’s session of the Con-
necticut Music Teachers’ convention
at N ew Haven, opened with a business
meeting. The following officers were

The Motion To Open The Divorce
Suit Denied by Judge Blschoff.
After listening to the reading of a
mass of affidavits and the arguments of
opposing counsel, Judge Bischofi' de~
nied Tuesday an application to open
the default in the suit for absolute di-
vorce brought by Mrs. Nancy B. Ather-
ton against her husband, George F.
Atherton, proprietor of the Aberdeen
Hotel at Broadway and Twenty-first
street. Herman Frank, counsel for Mr.
Atherton, read his affidavit first. Mr.
Atherton’s affidavit denies that he
wrote the alleged confession of impro-
Carr, a guest at the Aberdeen Hotel.
This paper was the leading proof ad-
vanced against him at the trial. It is
as follows:
I hereby acknowledge that I have been inti-
mate with Mrs. Carr since last November at
the Aberdeen Hotel, and promise not to have
any more martial relations with Nancy B. Ath-
erton. George F. Atherton.
He says he did not know of the exis-
tence of this so-called confession until
he saw a reference to it in a published
report of the trial. After the action
was brought he went to‘the office of
Booraem, Hamilton, Beckett & Ransom,
his wife’scounsc], and agreed to make
no defence to the action if he was ex-
empted from payment of alimony and
counsel fee. He .did this, he explains,
to prevent publicity and to protect the
reputation of Mrs. Carr, with whom he
most emphatically avers, he has never
been improperly intimate. As to his
wife obtaining a divorce, he has no ob-
jection, inasmuch as he was about ready
to bring a suit for divorce against her,
charging her with improper intimacy
with a former boarder at the Aberdeen.
He charges this boarder, William Sem-
ple, with having instigated the divorce,
proceedings and paid the expenses so as
to leave Mrs. Atherton free to marry
him. Affidavits of Edwin R. Keyes and
Frederick S. Avery, boarders at the
Aberdeen, and others, were also read,
declaring that in their opinion the al-
leged confession is not in Mr. Alherton’s
handwriting. '
Charles H. Beckett, who opposed the
motion, submitted a. batch of responsive
affidavits. Touching the handwriting
of the alleged confession, the stronvest
affidavit was that of the Rev. Olin al-
lock, rector of Trinity Church, South
Norwalk. He stated that both Mr. and
Mrs. Atherton were formerly members
of his congregation. Atherton was,
for a time, clerk of the parish, and he
was very familiar with Atherton’s hand-
writing. There was no doubt in his
mind that the disputed document was
in Atherton’s handwriting. Among
other affidavits were those. of Dr. Wills,
Mrs. Atherton’s attending physician
after the railroad accident, in which
she sustained severe injuries, setting
forth that at the time of the alleged in-
timacy with Mr. Scmple she was con—
fined to her bed a helpless invalid, and
of Mrs. Isabella R. Parker of Boston,
who says she heard Mr. Atherton con-
giss to his wife his intimacy with Mrs.
arr. ~
Mr. Frank said he was willing to let
the case stand or fall on the question
of the genuineness of the alleged con~
fession. He thought it was enough that
and that this alone was sufficient ground
for opening the default.
“1 have not as much confidence in
Mr. Atherton as his counsel has,” said
J udige Bischoff, “and the motion is de-
niec . ’ .
——Pandemonium Reigned,
The amiable policeman who stood at
the door of W. B. Hall & 00. Saturday
must have had an object lesson of the
effect a fire sale can have upon the
minds of the public. The excitement
and eagerness which some people
showed to get into the big store at times
bordered upon frenzy. The policeman
told a GAZETTE reporter that he had
great difficulty in keeping back _the
crowds who surged all day and night
long in front of the store. This sale
stands without a doubt one of themost
celebrated bargain sales in the history
of dry goods selling in Bridgeport.
\V. R. Hall A: Go. estimate that fully
25,000 people passed through their doors
from 1 o’clock until 10 and they were
buyers too and that the army of sales-
people was wholly inadequate to cope
with such an ocean of humanity. The
first day of the great fire, smoke and
water sale passed off, however, without
a bitch and was ably handled by open-—
ing the store doors at intervals of 15
minutes apart, allowing those who had
cempleted their purchases to pass
through a rear door into Faiifieldave-
nue.

Tuesday afternoon, so the story goes,
Supt. Hoyt of the Street Railway told
one of the employees at the stables
to give a certain horse the liberty of
eating grass and frolicking on Town
House bill. The horse was turned
loose, but when evening came and it
was decided to put him back in the
stable he could not be found. Later it
was learned that he had been impound-
ed,’ and it cost $1 for his release. Hoyt
took the joke good naturedly and when

fit of the Norwalk library. The pro-
gramme consisted of a pleasing little
Comedietta' in which Miss Vera Wood
as Aunt Elinor and Miss Jean Gregory
as Letty gave a splendid exhibition pf
acting and received hearty applause.
During the play Miss Julia Lockwood
.delighted the audience with a finely

Betts, Miss J ulia' Lockwood, Miss
Edythe Hunter, Miss Grace AIdams,
Miss Alyse Gregory, Ward Gregory,
Homer Byington and Frank Van Buren
participated. In this piece each and
every one did so well, far exceeding
any amateur performance ever given
here, that it would be very hard to par-
ticularize. It is safe to say, however,
that 9. Norwalk audience has never
been better pleased with amateur talent
than at last evening’s performance.
During this farce Miss Vera Wood
and. Miss Ethel Wilcox entertained the
audience with a Highland fling and
Irish jig, both of which were happily.
executed and much enjoyed. The
library Will receive quite a sum from»
the efforts of the young folks, who

The Columbus Agreement.
COLUMBUS, 0., June 13.—The feature of
the strike situation yesterday was the
agreement at the Columbus conference be-
tween miiicrs and operators by which the
rates for western Pennsylvania, Ohio and
central parts of Indiana and Illinois were
settled. The new scale of wages for mine
labor was arranged on a basis of 60 cents
for-Ohio and 69 cents for Pennsylvania.
This implies mutual concessions. The
Cents increase over what they were paid
«when the strike was declared, but 10 cents
less than they demanded. The miners’ na-
tional officers believe the men will abide
by the agreement.
It was hoped that the conference at Al-
ment for the central Pennsylvania coal-

many districts are still desperate, and in

fresh levies of troops being'sent to keep
peace. . ,

we hoped to get, but it is nevertheless a
victory for the miners, and it was the best
we could hope to get under the circum-
stances. The miners »were starving, 1n-
dustries were paralyzed, and property was
being destroyed by irresponsible parties,
all of which was blamed upon the miners. ”'
