~ it Was Treason. _
The “New York Sun” has been study
ing Pefi‘er’s latest speech in the Senate,
in which he announced his readiness to
go in for abolishing that body, the
other branch of Congress, and the
Presidency. It has come to the con-
clusion that Pefl’er is no longer a joke.
“His utterances upon Tuesday were
treason,” the Sun says, .“flat and un-
compromising treason.” Strong lan-
guage that. ' '
A Jacksonian Democrat.
The country is to be congratulated
that it has for President a man of the
‘true Andrew Jackson grit, a man who
believes in enforcing the constitutional
authority of the Federal Government.
How difi'erent from President Cleve-
land’s prompt and courageous action,
was the timid, vacillating and even
cowardly course of Buchanan. There
was a ring of Lincoln’s honest, patriot-
ic firmness in Cleveland’s treatment of
the railroad strikers.
This is not a time for partisanship.
While we differ in our point of view, or
in the logical development of our eon-
stitutional ideas,we are really all funda-
mentally at one in loyalty to American
institutions, and patriotic men Of what-
ever party will give cordial and earnest
support to the President in the enforce-
ment of law and order. ‘
Two such loyal and patriotic utter-
ances as ,those from Senator and_,ex-
Confederate General John B. fGOrdon'
.of Georgia, and of, Senator Davis, Be-
publican, of Minnesota, representing
as they do the two extremes of partisan
and sectional difference, go very far
towards obliterating entirely, old time
party and sectional bitternesses in the
higher and nobler purpose to stand by
the Government and the President as
its legally constituted authority. ' ‘

Statehood for Utah.
In a very few days the legislation
necessary to the admission of Utah'~'as
a member of the family of states will
have been completed, and President"
Cleveland will have the honor and
pleasure of signing the charter of the
forty-fifth member of the Union house-
- hold. As everybody knows, Utah would
have come in long ago—in advance of
at least six of her predecessors—but fer
the practice of polygamy by a portion
of her people. Neither of the leading
parties in Coggress deemed it advisable
to admit a. state that insisted on the
maintenance Of' this Oriental. custom—
a state controlled by a religious body
that made polygamy a religious obliga-
tion. But the Mormon Church finally
decided on a peaceful revolution, and,
in conformity with this decision, it
lifted polygamy bodily out of its creed
and consigned it to the list of things
obsolete. Because revolutions do not
go backward the condemned and dis-
carded institution is in no danger of
being recalled to life. It would be as
easy to re-establish slavery in Virginia
as to restore polygamy in Utah, and
there is ho evidence that any consider-
able number of people anywhere desire
the restoration of either of these insti-
tutions. .
With her cities living in obedience to
the law and in harmonywith the teach-
ings Of modern civilization, says the
Washington Post, the new state will
enter upon what promises to be a great
career. In 1890, according to the cen-
sus, the territory contained a popula-
tion of 207,905, while in the State of
Nevada there was only 45,761 popula~
tion, and in Idaho 84,345, and in Wy-
oming 60,705, and in North Dakota
182,719, and in Delaware 168.493, while
New Hampshire, Vermont and Rhode
Island have not much larger popula-
tions. So large a body of people cer-
tainly ought to have the right to elect
their own local officials and to be rep-
resented in both Houses of Congress.
In other respects the territory is ex-
tremely well fitted for statehood. The
census shows that in 1890 there were
47,720 a greater number than that in
the schools of Delaware, or North Da-
kota, or Montana, or Nevada, or Idaho,
or Wyoming. There were 427 churches
in 1890 and 61.62 per cent. of the pOpu-
lationlwerechurch members. No state
exceeds this percentage, and no terri-
tory except New Mexico equals it. It
is shown alsotthat the’ debt of the ter-
ritory is only $767,501, or $3.69 per cap-
ita, while the debt of every other state
and territory except West Virginia is
greater than this per capita. Her min-
eral wealth is great, with prospects of
immense additions. Her agricultural
products are varied and abundant, and,

Stamford young lady to whom the Nor-
walk young man has been paying atten-
tion for some time. It seems they
finally agreed to make their happiness
more complete through the bonds of
matrimony, but either the bride’s par.-
ents did not favor the suit or both the
young people lacked the courage to
disclose the fact of their engagement to
them. Anyhow, arrangements were
planned for a short visit to Port Ches-
ter last evening and a call upon the Rev.
W. W. W. Wilson of that place, who ll
ever ready and willing to render his as-
sistance to young couples in a dilemma
of that nature. The young man sent a
short note to his intended bride on
Thursday, appointing a rendezvous for
the following night. Cruel fate, how-
ever, intervened, and the note was des-
tined to fall into the hands of the girl’s
mother, when everything was disclosed
and the elopement nipped in the bud
The lover did not become aware of this
fact'until last night, wli‘en he arrived'at
the appointed place expecting to meet
his bride. He met his bride’s mother
instead and the scene Tich ensued can
-be better imagined t an described.
The young man returned home on a
late train somewhat disappointed, but
determined that the nuptials would yet
take place despite the aversion of the
girl’s parent.—Adecate.

discussion in which Manager Sisserson
had agreed“ to accept the actual ex-

Welcome club disappeared and the
Norwalk boys came home at the ex-

in Hard Luck.
, ,H. A. Saunders met with an unusual
ambunt of bad luck in the one hundred
mile race of the Atlantic Wheelmen
from Newark to Princeton, and return,
on Saturday. After riding about five
miles Saunders ran into a railroad track
and a little further the forks of his
front wheel snapped, letting him down
and skinning the flesh in several places
from his arms and legs. His injuries
were dressed at a drug store, and bor-
rowing a new wheel, which weighed
over fortygfive pounds he started once
1:: more butwns twice again compelled to
stop and seek medical assistance. He
finished thirty-sixth, however, and
will receive _a prize. Saunders would
undoubtedly "have, won the race, but
for his unfortunate accidents, as he de-
feated the winner oversight minutes in
the twenty-five mile race on the Mill-
burn course, a short time ago.

Property Attached to the Value 013
$200,000. "
Alleges Thov imprisoned i-lim
Without Warrant or Right.
Deputy Sheriff Fenelon has served
attachments aggregating the neat sum
$200,000. Real estate, stock and bonds
held in the town of Stamford have been
placed under attachment. It is one .of
the biggest suits ever brought in Fair-
field county.
The plaintifi‘ in the matter is Timothy
H. Porter of Stamford. Mr. Porter is
over 70 years of age and recently crea-
ted quite a stir in society by marrying
Miss Earle a daughter of O. T. Earle,
formely of Norwalk. Mr. Porter’s rol-
atives took every means to prevent
this marriage but were not successful.
He beat them all. Since their marriage
Mr. and Mrs. Porter have lived happily
in Stamford and have entertained their
friends. -
Before the marriage Mr. Porter was
kept confined and was in charge of con-
servators the allegation made that his
mind was not clear. Mr. Porter won
his case in court, beat his relatives and
had the conservators removed. He now
seeks to get even with his alleged per-
secutors. He therefore brings suit
against Thomas A. Bitch and Schuyler
Merritt, the conservators, andRichard
Bolster and Henry Strock who were
hired to watch and care for him. All
the parties belong in Stamford. The
plaintiff wants $200,000 damages.
The plaintiff alleges that in Decem-
ber 1893 the defendants assaulted him
and without his consent or prOper war-
rant, imprisoned him in a dwelling
house on Noroton Hill from that date
until March 15th, 1894. The plaint1ff
,was in feeble health and was greatly
distressed in mind and body.
The plaintiff also alleges that the or-
der committing him to the custody of
Messrs. Bolster and Strock was a pre-
text to get him into custody and there
was no hearing or inquiry as to whether
he was a lunatic or not, also that no
jurisdiction or legal authority to issue
said order existed. The plaintiff alleges
that in taking him into custody on such
alleged order, he was assaulted and im-
prisoned against his will. ' He was con-
fined in a certain dwelling house on
Noroton Hill for three months without
Warrant- or authority. ‘
The plaintiff declares that during his
imprisonment he attempted on divers
days to have interviews with sundry
relatives and friends but was denied
that privilege. His purpose in seeking
such interviews-was to procure his libv
erty by lawful means. He also sets
forth that his attorneys, who were well
known to the defendants, were‘forcibly
prevented from consulting With him.
It is also alleged that the plaintiff was
denied the right to see his family phy-‘
sician, Dr. Ephriam Cutter, of New
York city, during his imprisonment.
The plaintiff declares he was in feeble
health and the services of his physrcian
were necessary during his confinement;
that he suflered great mental distress
and was injured in his bodily health by'
such denial. Also that at the time of"
such unlawful imprisonment he had,
personal preperty to the value of more
than $100,000 and had the income and
control of real and personal prOperty to
the value of another $100,000, left to
him by Louise H. Porter, deceased,
and was deprived of the right use and
enjoyment of the same. ’ he plaintiff
declares that the defendants refused to.
release him unless be surrendered said
property to them and that through fear
of endangering and losing his life he
did surrender such property to the de-
fendants, thus obtaining his release
from imprisonment. '
The third and last count sets forth
that the plaintiff being advanced in
years, Of feeble health with distress of
mind liable to terminate fatally,surren-
dered possession of. property to the
value of $100,000, to the defendants,
such prOperty being the proceeds of
his labor and exertions, together with
the personal property of $10,000 and
the defendants had conspired and con-
federated to secure the same in order
to accomplish their ends in securing a
vialse complaint against him in court
and secure said possession of property,
claiming the plaintiff to be a lunatic
and dangerous and unsafe person to be
at large, and that his arrest and con-
finement_was made Without the proper
legal notice. _ -' .
he plaintiff in conclusion declares
that the complaint was false and mali-
cious, that the action taken was wrth-
out legal warrant or authority, that his
imprisonment was unlawful and that
being in fear of his life he surrendered
his property to the defendants, for
which he asks damages as stated.
- The writ was dated at New Haven,
July 11, and was signed by T. H. Rus-
sell commissioner of the superior court
for New Haven County.
An injunction was also served pre-
venting the two sons, occupying the
residence of Timothy H. Porter fin
Stamford which right they. now enjoy
until the courts had passed upon the
merits of the case. '

New_ Rifles for c. N. o.
A Washington special to the Courant
says that at the suggestion of Gen.
Bradley, Adjutant-General of Connecti-
ut, Senators Platt and Hawley called
on Secretary Lamont to see what could
be done towards obtaining for the Na-
tional Guard of_ Connecticut a supply
of Springfield rifles. The government
has started to build a new- Krag-Jor-
gensen rifle and has a lar e supply of
the old Springfields on and. t is
nevertheless an excellent weapon. The
National Guard has for many years had
the Peabody-Henry gun, the manufact-
ure of which has been abandoned. It
works with difficult yand with frequent
hitches. The war Department would
cheerfully order a supply of Springfield
rifles. upon a requisition of the Gover-
nor of the State, based upon a sudden
or dangerous emergency, but the Sec-
retary of the War does not feel author-
ized by existing statutes to, make an exs
change, or even to loan the guns. The

der to keep the mules in their vigorous

. He said he was‘born in Ireland sixty-
” years ago, and lived in Provrdence
for thirty years and more. Eight
months ago he :resolved to own a Pair
of big Western mules, and putting 833
in his pocket he started for the est.
At Streator, 111., he bought a team. of
horses for $8 and made 830 by swapplng
themfor other animals.‘ 8 went on
Swapping horses from time to time un-
til he had money, enough to buy the
coveted mules, One of which measures
17 hands 1% inches and the other In only
slightly smaller. With 810 in his pock-
st and the old sulkey which was given
to him he started for home thirty-six
days ago. His money lasted ntil
about ten days ago, but he pushe on
and found helping hands everywhere.
In his journey he crossed Illmors,
Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Penn-
sylvania and New Jersey, and he thinks
he travelled between 1,200 and 1,500
miles. He will continue his journey
this afternoon and push on for home.
The mules have stood the hardships
of the journey much better than the
owner has, and he says they never
sulked a bit at any time, although they
had some tough mountain climbing and
lived chiefly upon such forage" as they
could find by the roadsides. He fre-
quently slept in the open air in his
travels, and says he thoroughly en-
joyed the society of the mules.

umbrellas and Lanterns In China.
If a Chinese leaves his home after
night without taking with him a lan-
tern, such as ls assigned to the use of
the class to which he belongs, he is lla-
ble to arrest by the police. As soon as it
is dark every city seems ablaze with Ian-
terns. They light up the homes of the
rich and poor. They are attached to the
angles of the pagoda. ‘ They areseen at
every port and on every river. In fact,
they make their appearanceeverywhere,
and to call China the “land of lanterns”
is by no means a misnomer. Umbrellas,
too, are of much importance 'in China,
because there the umbrella is a mark of
rank. Two large red'silk umbrellas sig-

there would be a partial agreement, he re-

some of the members of the committee in
their converstion with neWSpaper repre-
sentatives discourage the idea that a re-
port _may be expected during the Week.
They say that it is yet too early to say
when a conclusion will be reached by the
Democratic conferees without taking into
consideration the possibility of delay after
the Republican members of the confer~
once are lnvlm to participate in its pro
ceedlngs. .
On this latter point Senator Aldrlc
said that if, when the Republicans are
.asked into the conference, it should up~
spear that the Democratic, senatorial con:
forces had made concessions sufficient to
materially alter the character of the sen‘
information as to the reasons for the
, changes, and that in that event the prob
”abilities were that Considerable time
would be necessary after the beginning of
the full conference. before the report could
be made. 4 .
., With reference to the proceedings of the
conference}: can only be stated that the
sugar schedule has consumed the greater
part, if not the entire§time of the commit-
tee, and that the work has been devoted
largely on the part of the senators to per-
suading the representatives to consent to
the retention of the one-eighth of a cent
differential on refined sugar. Inquiries
have also been sent out by the conferees
as to how much less than 40 per cent ad
valorem will satisfy the sugar producers.
Louisiana members of congress say noth-
ing whatever can be yielded from ’ the 40
per cent rate, and the response to the con-
ferees was to that effect.
While it is true that during the past
week almost every schedule in the bill has
been under consideration, it is a fact that
as yet few, if any, rates have been fixed
other than tenatively, and when members
of the conference say that nothing has
been absolutely agreed upon ' they are
technically within the bounds of the truth.
.It appears from the best information
obtainable that a great part of the time
has been given to a representation to the
house conferecsby. thesenate members of
the necessity of ' making the most liberal
'concessiOns possible in the interest of the
final passage of the bill through the sen-
ate. ' 9
The house conferees have indicated in
most, if not all instances, what the house
would assent to, and it is the figures ‘given
in these cases which have been accepted
as agreements by those who have heard
them repeated.
Pacific Railroad Bill Framed; -
WASHINGTON, July 16.-—T'he house com-
mittee on Pacific railways has finished
the problem which has engaged it through-
out the session and has reached a practical
agreement on a plan for the settlement of
th; debts of the Central and Union Pa-
of c.
The time for settlement of the debt to
the government is fixed by the bill at 50
years, semiannual payments in liquids.-
tion of it to be made. Interest is to be at
the rate of 8 per cent 'per annum. The
principal amendments agreed to today
were in the direction of making ironclad-
the government’s hold upon the property
and insuring it from losing anyof its
rights by the new arrangement; also in
obliterating the provisions for a purchas-
ing committee in case the preperty shOuld
it best to anticipate such a contingency.
According to the plan, the first mort-
gages, amounting to $65,000,000, will be
paid as they mature, clearlng the proper-
ty of . debts on which it is paying 6'per
cent; the sinking fund now amounting to
first mortgage. The government's lien,
which will become the first llen under the
plan, will draw interest at 3 per cent, the
principal being paid in graduated semi-
annual payments through a. period of 50
years. '
One member of thecommlttee made a
stand for government ownership, taking
the position held by the California mem-
bers of congress—Maguire and Geary. His
views did not gain the support which they
might have won if it had seemed clear
that the railroads would become paying
the committcemen expressed themselves
as opposed to government ownership on
general principles. Under the bill, how.
ever, the government will'foreclose if the
corporations fall to meet their payments.
