Gen. Hawley Threatened. \

The Sun is authority for the story
that Populist Senator Allen of Nebraska
got full of bug juice and went gunning
for our “Joe” Hawley, and not finding
the Senator in his committee room, as-
saulted the General’s . innocent clerk,
shouting like a Commanche savage that
he “could lick Hawley or Chandler or
any other senator.” Up to to-day Haw-
ley has escaped assault and the pugna-
cious Nebraskian has disappeared, pre-
sumably to take the silver cure for
snake bites. It was well for Allen he
did not have a chance to arouse the ire
of “fighting Joe Hawley.” ‘

Starfish Fond of Oysters,

The papers are now discussing the
starfish which kills millions of oysters
every year, as this is the season when
the oystermen are busy starfishing.
They do not spend their time catching
these fish, which are obj ects of so much

' curiosity to visitors to the seashore,

from any love of the work, nor from a
. hem of immediate profits. The star-

fish is one of the greatest pests with

which the oystermen have to deal.

One of these creatures will destroy
many thousands of oysters during the
spawning season. It is the worst enemy
the bivalves have to contend with.
From the number which are taken from
an oyster bed it would seem that they
are as numerous as the stars which
shine on the top of the water.

They hover about the oyster beds in
June, July and August in myriads.
They eat the young oysters, or spawn,
and sometimes almost destroy the whole
bed when left to themselves. '

For years the oystermen have been
trying to find some method of destroy-
ing the starfish without injuring the
oysters. They formerly went through
the beds with an oyster rake, and
caught a good many in that way. But
that methodwas injurious to the oys-
ters. It disturbed the Spawn on the
shells and killed many of the young
oysters. ‘ .

Of late years another method has
been used. An instrument much re-
sembling a huge mop is constructed for
this work. The mops are sometimes

\ fifteen or twenty feet wide. They are
made of cotton strings, loosely coiled.
This is drawn over the oyster bed so
that the strings drag over the oysters.
It does not disturb the young bivalves,
but it makes a trap from which the
starfish find it difficult to escape. The
starfish are covered with sharp hooks,
or barbs, which are so small that they
can scarcely be seen. They can be felt,
however, if one is. taken in a person’s
hand. These barbs catch in the strings
of the mop, and the fish cannot disen-
tangle themselves.

The mop is drawn up every few min-
utes and dumped into a cauldron of
boiling water. The Starfish are killed
and cooked at the same time. Millions
of starfish are destroyed in this way
every year, and yet they seem just as
numerous as ever.

Mr. Pullman’s Statement.

Mr. Pullman’s statement this morn-
ing throws considerable new light on
the situation and makes the criminal
folly of Debs and his dupes more mani-
fest than ever.

Mr. Pullman reiterates that, owing to
the business depression, he was keep-
ing his shops open and giving his men
employment at a loss. A year ago these
employee had nearly $700,000 in the
local savings banks and at 'the time of
the strike they had nearly $400,000 on
deposit. " . . ' t

The loss in wages to the employee
since the strike was ordered is more
than three hundred thousand dollars.

It having been charged that the Pull-
man Company supplied water to its
. tenants, the workingmen, at a large
profit, Mr. Pullman avers that the com-
pany pays the city of Chicago 3500
more per year for the water than it re-
ceives therefor from its tenants.

He makes a strong case for himself,
and while he still adheres to the propo-
sition that there is nifthing to arbitrate,
the common sense of the country will
be with him.

Unless his statement is controverted
the verdict of the public must be that
his employes have permitted themselves
to be led into a senseless and causeless
strike by the crazy headed Debs, who,
from the best claimed for him, appears
to be “a reformed inebriate. The ven—
erable Mr. Henry I. Hoyt asked an
ardent temperance advocate yesterday,
who is also a. member of one of our
local Labor unions, how it was that
such men as he could be controlled by
a man of Debs’ character, and the pro-
hibitionist frankly confessed he had
never thought of that before. It is alto-
gether a bad business. I ' '

Heury-tB'urr Coiley’a B‘arn And
Other Buildings Burned this
Morning.

A Large Quantity of Meat Also
Burned.

 

The large slaughter house, barn, car-
riage house, ice house and out buildings
“belonging to Henry Burr Coley, at
Chestnut Hill, were entirely destroyed
by fire at about 6 .o’clock this morning.
Several tons of hay and grain in the
barn and a large quantity of meat were
also devoured by the flames.

When the fire was discovered Mr.
Coley was absent on his peddling route,
but the neighbors responded and. did
all in their power to rescue articles
from the burning buildings, Mr. H. M.
Fillow saving several wagons, etc.

The loss is, a very heavy one to Mr.
Coley, particularly in the matter of the
interruption of his busrness.

At the moment the fire burst‘ forth
Mr. Coley was in front of the reSidence
of James Mitchell on Cliff street, when
the latter looking up excitedly exclaim.
ed—“ I say, Coley, . there’s a fire
on Chestnut Hill and mighty near your
place too!” Coley seeing it and getting
the ranges, as be supposed, replied.
“No it is’nt anywhere near my place.”
Mitchell insisted that it was and Coley
started for home to find Mitchell cor-
rect. . '

The insurance on his out-buildings
and hay in the barn, was about $1200
in two companies and carried by O. E.
Wilson. ‘ .

Death of James Hadden.

Mr. James Hadden died at his home
corner of River and Wall street, Fri-
day afternoon, aged 44 years. He had
been complaining for some weeks, but,
Was ‘confined to his room only a few
days. He was sitting up in a chair at
the time of his death, and a few mo-
ments before asked the nurse for a
drink of water which he swallowed,
and sinking back in the chair died.
The deceased was born in Preston,
England, and came to this country
about twenty-seven years ago. He was
a spinner by trade and for a while
worked in the Norwalk mills. He
afterward learned the mason’s_ trade.
He 'was married to Elizabeth Highland
about twenty years ago, and shortly
after went into the saloon business in
the Beebe building on Wall street.
He bought the Belden property some
fourteen years ago, and a few years
since moved his business and family
into the same, since which time he has
resided there." He also bought the
Armstrong property at Winnipauk and
the Seymour property on the turnpike.
He attended closely to his business and
seldom went away from home. His
wife and son John, aged about. 20, and.
daughter, aged 7, survive him. He
was a member of Our Brothers’ Lodge,
I. O. 0. F. The funeral will be at-
tended Sunday afternoon, at 4 o’clock,
‘Rev.’ Dr. Noble officiating. The inter.
ment will be held at Union cemetery.

O

A Strike Prevented.

The firm hand of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen, as applied by Yard-
master L. P Bristol, prevented the
freight business of theConsolidated rail-
road in Bridgeport from coming to a
standstill Friday. An order issued by
Superintendent O. M. Shepard, of the
New York division and by Freight
Agent Nickerson, transmitted to Yard-
master Bristol, caused a fuss among the
switchmen which only Mr. Bristol’s re-
minder of the by-law of the order to
which the men belong, prevented from
becoming a strike. The objectionable
order was to lay off one man from each
gang, three in all. At first the men
absolutely refused to countenance the
order, but when informed by Mr. Bris-
tol that such a course would not only
result in their discharge from the Con-
solidated, but also in their probable ex;
pulsion from 'the, brotherhood, they
concluded to return to work until after
they had presented their grievances to
the lodge after the manner provided by
the by-laws.

 

 

Unclaimed Deposits.

The Hartford Society for Savings has,
$12,422.40 of unclaimed deposits and
the largest list of unknown depositors.
There were $11,139.90 of unclaimed
deposits in the bank when the annual
return was made a year ago. The in-
crease during the year has been $1,-
202.50. These deposits have not been
taken from or added to the past twenty
years. Among them are: Mary Hum-
phrey, Litchfield, $60.35; Chas. L. Bar-
ritt, New Hartford, $2.01; Clara 'B.
Dayton, Torrington, $2.95; Hattie J.
Eby Harwinton, $9.13; and several
hun red others.

Sherlffs’ Fees Cut Down.

Judges of the Supreme and Superior
Courts have made a new rule regard-
ing the fees of sherifi‘s and the taxation
of costs. By the rule it is said that
sheriffs’ fees will be cut. but there is a
question as to how much. A schedule
of the new allowances will be published
shortly. One of’the provisions is that
only actual expenses shall be paid for
.taking prisoners to jail, instead of 25
cents a mile, as formerly. Another is
that only actual mileage shall be paid
for. Some sheriffs have made out bills
for mileage not actually traveled. It is
estimated that the fees have been re-
duced at least $2,500 in every county.
The change will also aflect the depu-
ties. Where a sheriff was making $15
a day opening court he will only be
able to make $3 in the future.

The horse-cars were gladly welcomed
back on the Street Railway line this

Lost His Coat.

He came from Norwalk, he said, and
he was a citizen of the United States.
His father helped support the Govern-
ment and when men were wanted in

musket and went to the front. He has
not asked Uncle Sam‘ to put him on the
pension list. This young man entered
the police station. He had no coat and
he was excited. “I lost my coat and
want the police to get it for me,” he
said. He was unable to tell where he
had lostit. “If I knew where it was,”
he said, “I would not have come here.
This government of ours pays the police
money to recover my coat and I 'want
it right away. I’ll give_ you a clue to
work on. I have been in half a dozen
saloons and it was in one of them that
I lost my coat.” He preferred gomg
away to taking lodging in a cell. He
returned when he sobered up and asked
if his coat had been found. He was un-
able to tell where he was when he lost
it. “I’ll tell you on the quiet,” he said,
“why I am anxious to get the garment.
I hid a $5 bill in the lining of it. Get
me the $5 and you can keep the coat.”

The Police could not aid him and he.

went to his Norwalk home coatless—

That Ball Game.,

The Danbury News has the following
in reference to the ball game between
the Pheonix and Kohanza boys on
Thursday.

 

There was a good crowd to see the -

game, but in the words of the illustrious
American (we do not recall his name)

game belonged at home from the begin-
ning. The visitors could not get onto
the curves of Edward; C. Birks, who
pitched a puzzling game under the
name of White. Even Weeks, of Nor-
walk, who came up in his white duck
suit and with a cow bell clanging from
his watch chain, and was the visitors’
mascot, was of no avail in trying to
change the condition 0 hinge. .

To put it truthfully it may be said,
that the game furnished a barrel of fun
and not a little good ball playing. The
whole ninejnnings were played, even
if it did take three hours and the play-
ers were in a hurry to get back to the
club rooms, where they knew what
awaited them.”

Orfinlzed 150 Years.
Winthrop, a small community situ~
ated in the western part of Deep River,
has‘the proud distinction of being the
parent church of the Baptist denomin-
ation in this section of the country.

The church was founded by followers .

of Roger Williams from Rhode Island.
Its career has been beset with many
hindrances, but it now rises trium-
phantly to celebrate its 150th anniver-
sary. This celebration will be held
l next Wednesday and it is expected that
many eminent men of the_Baptist de-
nomination from all parts of the state
will be present. “Uncle” John Vas-
sar, one of the most eminent. evange-
lists in 'New England, was for many
years pastor of this church. His son,
the Rev. W. B. Vassar, was its pastor
for several years, but was obliged to
resign on account of ill health. The
Rev. W. T. Rice is pastor at present.

' Base Ball.

The Norwalk Parks met the Indian
ball nine of Minneconji Red Men from
the Government Training school, at
Standing Rock, N. D., yesterday after-
noon and defeated them by a score of
19 to 1. TheIndians played a good
game for men who had never played
base ball prior to this season. There
were several good players among them
and all were good batters, and it is
more than. likely that with the experi-
ence, obtained in their tour this year
that theywill develop a team of ball

Antonio Iannueze. an Italian, “boss”
of one of the- gangs of 'men employed
at the Railroad cut, between South
N orwalk and Bowayton liesat the N or-
walk hospitalseriously-injured from
stab wounds inflicted by a fellow coun-
tryman and workman, whose name the
injured man, as is customary wrth
Italians, refuses to divulge. _

Iannueze, who has a large force
under him, had trouble with .one of the
men, yesterday morning, owrng to his
reporting late for work, and finally
discharged him. The man threatened
‘to get even with the “boss,” and went
to, his quarters where he remained the
rest of the day. .

About seven o’clock last evening.
after the gang had had supper, he
sought several of his friends and to-
gether they went to the “boss” to settle
the matter. More trouble arose and a
rough and tumble .fight ensued, the
“boss” having in the mean time en-
listed the services of a number of his
friends. During (the melee the man
who had been discharged drew a knife
and getting close to Iannueze stabbed
him several times in the back and side.

After the fight the injured man, ac-
companied by his friends, started for
South N orwalk to secure the services
of a physician, but before reaching the
city his strength gave out and he had
to be assisted by his friends. He was
placed under the care of Dr. Allen,
.who dressed the wounds but owing to
the serious nature of the case Dr.
Burke had him removed to the hos-
pital in the ambulance. ‘

This morning he was resting comfort-
ably and doing as well as could be ex-
pected, and if no . unforseen complica-
tions arise it is thought he will recover.
. The South Norwalk police are look-
ing for the man who did the stabbing,
and also those who were in the fight,
but as the injured man refuses to give
the name of his assailant it is doubtful
if he can be found.

Wordy War-

There was quite a lively racket on
Wall street Friday afternoon between
Frank Farrell and Martin Kellogg,
foreman of the street cleaning depart-
ment. Kellogg approached Farrell and
complained of the way he was doing his
work. His remarks angered Farrell
who proceeded to abuse Kellogg in a
lively way. Words flew thick and fast

Probabilities That There “’11! Be None In
the Next House. ,
RALEIGH, July 14.—In the present con-
gress there is but one negro—Murray of
South Carolina—and North Carolina. furs
nlshed the only negro member of the pre-
ceding congress. From the present out~
look there will be no representative of the
negro race in the next house of- represent-
atives. The news from Murray's district
is that he is almost certain to ,be defeated.
In the North Carolina "black district”
there is no chance of the election of a.
negro this your. The Republican conven-
tion, held a few days ago, broke up in a
big row, as has often been the case before.
The two’leading candidates Were ex—Con-
gressmau Henry Cllilill‘li‘iin and George
H. \Vhlte, solicitor of that judicial dis-'
trict, both mulattocs. After a number of
unsuccessful ballots the convention was
adjourned with both Clieatham and White
‘claiming the nomination. Consequently
both will run. and with two Republican
candidates the Democratic candidate .will
be, elected, as he was two years ago, al-
though the district has a majority of negro
voters. ‘ . . g ~ ‘

M AGIC IRON-TONE i. an ideal summer drink. ' Served at foun-

tains with soda it is incomparable.

It must be remembered that the

average summer drink is just'so much syrup and water, having no
medicmal properties, and which only serves to provoke instead'ofito

assuage thirst.

But MAGIC IRON -TONE not only quenchesfihirst, .

it gratifies the lenging for “ something that will go to the.spot;”

it sparkles and bubbles along the

palate and the throat; it gratifies

the parched stomach and immediately clears the films from the brain.
It dispels the despondent, depressed feeling inseparable from weari- '
ness and overwork; it lightens the load. the system seems to be
carrying, causes the eye to flash, the mind to spring into activity, and

the nerves and muscles to jump from a flaccid to an elastic condition,
