The Vlgllant’S' Bad Luck."
The Vigilants unlucky season in Brit-
ish waters has been brought to a close
by a second accident off the Needles.
The centreb’oard again went wrong on
the eve of a decisive race with the Brit-
annia, this time breaking away and go-
ing to the bottom owing to a defective
casting. The coincidence certainly is
remarkable, observes the Tribune, in
that the accident occured within a short
distance of the Spot where the first mis -
hap took place. It has involed the with-
drawal of the challenge for the Cape
May Cup after a sportsmanlike Offer on
the part of Mr. Gould to sail the race
without the centreboard. There are
English yachtsmen mean enough to
sneer at the second mishapas a Yankee
trick for avoiding a race; but represent-
- ative London journals take a rational
view of the matter and do justice to the
unfortunate yacht’s owners.
The season opened with the sinking
of the Valkyrie in the Clyde, and it has
closed with the disabling of the Vigi-
lant and the abandonment of the races
for the Wolverton and Cape May cups.
It is now at least an open question as
to which Of the famous contestants in
the America’s Cup races last year has
been the more unfortunate this season.
The Valkyrie went down through no
fault Of her own, and in waters where
her flag had not been lowered. The
Vigilaut has lost her prestige by sailing
under'adverse conditions of wind over
courses for which she ought not to have
been entered, and by rubbing against
the rocks and losing. her centreboard
at critical times when she ’was entered
for important races. While she has won
some of the best matches, her record as
a whole is one of failure and disappoint-
ment. ..
Barkis is Wlllln’.
The local political waters are begin-
ning to efi'ervesce and ’soon will be in a
bubbling boil. The Congressional slate ‘
just now elicits the greatest amount of
interest. On the side of the democracy
it is conceded that Mr. De Forest is to
run again. He has faithfully stood by
the free-trade side and sentiment of his
party,» and therefore expects its full
and hearty support.
On the republican side, the question
of a candidate is widely scattered. Of
course Norwalk and South Norwalk
are doing a brisk business in the “favor-
ite son” line. In our city, the friends
of E.,J. Hill are vigorously pushing his
name for a Congressional nomination,
while ambitious South Norwalk, not to
be outdone by its venerable mother, is
equally desirous to see that honor con-
ferred upon lawyer Light.
Then aggressive—and always anxious
to be at the top—Bridgeport, has two
or three candidates, with ex-postmaster
Knowlton apparently at the head of the
heap. ‘
Judge Brewster, of Danbury, Walsh,
of Greenwich, Scofield, ‘of Stamford,
ex-Gov. Lounsbury, of Ridgefield, and
Judge John H. Perry, of Fairfield, are
also named as possible candidates, and
all willing to serve their country if
their friends see fit to elect them.
The unique candidate, is that of Hon.
Henry Sanford, of New Milford, who,
in compliance with a formal letter of
request, carefully prepared and circu-
lated for signatures, and then printed,
has responded to the effect that if his
friends desire his nomination, he will
oppose no Objection, and if nominated
he will join with them in earnest work
for an election, promising tO stump the
district in his own behalf, after the
manner of the late 0. S. Ferry, and
which resulted in his triumphant elec:
tion. _
We have previously expressed our
approbation of this open and manly
way of putting a candidate before the
peOple. It is coming up pretty near
the frank way prevailing at the South,
where every candidate desiring a nomi-
nation from the people, sends his card
making suchtannouncement, to all the
newspapers in his district, and then
leaves the rest to his friends. The
successful candidates on either side,
usually, as in the case of running for
Congress, arrange a joint debate, which
~ brings out the mettle in the men, and
, is greatly enjoyed by the people. So
that, if it be Hill, or Knowlton, or Per-
ry, or Paige, or Sanford, who is to con-
' test the election with De Forest, let
whoever it be, challenge his tariff-
heretic opponent to a joint discussion
in all the principal towns Of the Fourth
Congressional District. That would
make the election interesting.

Patrick Clark, the switchman who was
killed in that city on. Tuesday. A
cousin of the deceased notified an un-
dertaker to take charge ‘Of the body,
which he did. The dead man’s wife
told another undertaker to take charge
of it. The latter asked the former for
the body, .but he refused to give it up.
Mrs. Clark then visited a lawyer, who
told her that she had a legal right to
her husband’s body. With a letter
from the attorneyexplaining the law
on the subject and accompanied by an
Officer, Mrs. Clark went and demanded
the body. After reading the lawyer’s
letter, the undertaker, surrendered the
body and it was turned over to hie rival

Give, Us Good Men.
EDITOR GAZETTE : As the time is fast
approaching for the selection Of our
Town Officials cannot some means be
devised by which good, honest and
careful men, with some bueiness quali-
ties and sense can be secured, such for
instance, as Charles P. Turney, Alonzo
Arnold, Burr Smith, William H. Olm-
stead, William E. Dann and the like.
They would give us at least an economi-
cal administration and in these hard
times, that is just what we need in this
town RETBENCHMENT.
Lizzie Captured.
Deputy Sheriff Toner and William
Sheldon succeeded in capturing Mrs.
Lizzie McCarthy last night. Lizzie was
wanted for having skipped bonds Of
$200, under which she was held for trial
in the Court Of Common Pleas. Mr.
Sheldon was the bondsman. She was
placed in the station-house over night,
and this morning taken to Bridgeport.
CO
Another.
This morning a horse attached to
David J enks’ milk wagon was terrified
by a Danbury train passing under the
tunnel bridge, where so many teams
are frightened into running away, and
ran, but was halted in front of the GA~
ZETTE building by a young colored lad
named Thompson, before any damage
was done. Two women narrowly es-
caped being run over.
Fell From A Bridge.
Peter Bottsford of Milford was taken
to the New Haven hospital in an un-
conscious condition Wednesday after-
noon. He fell from a bridge on the
Consolidated railroad and sustained
severe scalp wounds, but his injuries
will probably not prove fatal.

reason that they adhere to the strictest
artistic methods, while obtaining the
very best results in both form and col-

a revelation of the inherent possibilities

Hoxr’s OPERA HOUSE. .
Lovers Of good acting will be delight-
ed to learn that the eminent tragedian
Mr. Thomas Keene, will be seen at
Hoyt’s Opera House on Saturday even-
ing next in his well-known impersona-
tion of the crafty and suspicious eed
’ l‘.
Keene’s version of the favorite histori-
cal drama is remembered as difl‘ering in
some particulars from the one our pub-
lic has been accustomed to see, and
throws even darker shades on the com-
plicated mentality Of Louis than many
historians have done; it gives him only
one quality for us to respect, that of
political acumen; for the rest, he is
treacherous, brutal, of the earth earthy,
and without one single glint of a_re-
deeming nature "in the glomy, guilty
caverns of his mind." This character
afi'ords Mr. Keene opportunity for a
most powerful representation; and a
vive‘dportrayal of the bloody ruler of
France may be anticipated by those
who ’will attend his performance of
“Louis XI” on Saturday evening.
NORWALK OPERA House.
Manager Weed announces that he
has secured‘for Saturday night, Sept.
8th, one of the strongest farce comedy
attractions on the road in Whipple Bro-
thers production of “Dilemma,” an Op-
ertic comedy requiring thirty people in
its presentation. The company comes
direct from New York, and are enroute
to Bridgeport, where they open the sea-
son next Monday night. The company
is a strong one, and is headed by Hilda
Thomas, one of the best known sopranas
on the stage. In addition there are,
Leola Belle, one of the sweetest sou-
brettes; Mlle. Zuleha, an importation
from Paris; who gives all the latest feu-
tastic dances of that gay metropolis;
Lillian Blake and little Mabel Palloch,
the latter from Harrigans Theatre, who
lead the famous band of Pickaninnies
that have created such a sensation at
the Casino in New York all summer;
Francis Bryant, from Keith’s Union
Square Theatre, W. Fred Jones, George
Worthington, May Otis Amber, Zue
Tofurd and a full chorus. _ There ere
21 musical members in Dilemma, in-
eluding the topical songs, “Take the
Elevation,” We press the button,’_you
do the rest,” “Don’t Mention it at
home,’ etc. sung by no other company.
Seats were placed on sale tO-day at the
usual places and theindications already
point to a crowded house.
The Challenge Accepted.
Mr. H. A. Saunders, the bicycle rider,
called at this office last evening and au-
thorized the GAZETTE to say that he Will
accept the challenge of C. Ford Seeley
for a race with Robert Wehrle, and
that he is ready to meet Mr. Seeley at
any time to make arrangement for such
race, the same to take place at the Fair
Grounds. .
Friends of Mr. Saunders, , who are
confident that he can and will Win the
raCe—a race on the merits of the riders
for fast time—have deposited a forfeit of
$50 at this office for a wager of from
$75 to $200, the latter amount preferred,
that Saunders will win. The race to be
ten or twenty-five miles. .
Saunders and his friends mean busi-
ness, and will anxiously wait .the reply
of Mr. Seeley, who is acting in the in-
terest of Wehrle. In the words Of the
man from Nevada, “This is no blufi'.
Put up or shut up.” . _ .
The above match if made Will be the
outcome of the decisions made on the
time of Saunders and Wehrle in the
ten mile bicycle race at the Labor Day
picnic, when Saunders’ time was given
as 29.45 and that of Wehrle ae 29.19:}.
Since that time Charles H. Dilworth,
one of the timers at the race, has dis-
covered that E. Preston Sherwood, an-
other one of the timers, made a mistake
of nearly forty seconds in Saunders’
time and that the actual time made oy
him was 29 minutes, 5 2-5 seconds. The
result is that Saunders has been award-
ed the place on the list for time prizes
that he actually won.

Nelson Bonneau, the saloon keeper
and caterer who left Bridgeport under
a cloud a few days ago, is in St. Johns,
N. B. He is in constant communica-
tion with legal advisers in Bridgeport
and is being informed of all that occurs.
The above information was given to 9.
Bridgeport Standard reporter on good
authority. It was also given out that
Bonneau had contemplated skipping
for some time and had been getting
hold of all the money possible. He
decided to leave town as soon as he re-
ceived his check for services as caterer
for the Second regiment at Camp Brad-
ley. This he did and is now safely in
St. Johns. His wife will join him there.
It is said that Bonneau contemplates
opening a saloon and concert hall in
that place and will make it his future
place of residence. The eighty waiters
will have to continue as f‘waiters” be-
fore they get their money. .
As far as is known there is nothing
for them to get hold of to satisfy their
claims. The men were to be paid $8 a
week and expenses.
Bonneau’s furniture which his friends
attempted to move away and which was
captured by the waiters, is secreted in
various places and held by them.
Common Pleas Court.
There were two extremes of emotion
seen in the criminal side of the com-
mon pleas court Wednesday. One was
when the jury rendered a verdict of not.
guilty in the case of James Wilson, of
Danbury, charged Wit-h drunkeness.
The accused wept for ten minutes after
hearing the verdict.
The other extreme was ,
when Benjamin Hill, colored charged
with assulting Lillie Robinson was
sentenced to six months in jail, the jury
having returned a verdict Of guilty.
Ben smiled broadly, having escaped a
states prison sentence. His assault on
the little girl was of a criminal nature.

The- Bethel Counterfeiters.
James Murphy, alias Hill, and Bus-
sell B. Hoyt, the counterfeiters, who
were Wednesday afternoon bound over
to the Superior Court under $10,000
bonds, are still in the County Jail hav-
ing been unable to obtain the required
amount for their release. At the hear-
ing in the United States District Court
room, Lorenzo Hoyt, the brother of
one of the accused, who has turned
state’s evidence, and who is a witness,
engaged in a pleasant conversation with
his brother and Murphy. The conduct
of Lorenzo excited much comment in-
asmuch as it was only a few weeks ago
that they had a row among themselves
at the hearing before United States
Commissioner Alexander in New York.
There is some question now as to
whether the younger member of the
Hoyt family, will testify against his
brother when the case comes up for
trial in the United States District Court
next month. Much significance was
attached to the actions of the three
men.
Lorenzo Hoyt returned to his home
in Bethel late in the afternoon.

they have been for a long time. ’ The
fact that the tarifi“ question is settled is
no doubt a potent factor in re-establish-

investigation they found that W. F.

rived, by some mistake, at his work
considerably. earlier than usual. Re-
traeing their steps and when in front of
Ghitto’s fruit store, Officer Bartram
saw a young lad in the store who got
out of sight as quickly as possible. The
Officers proceeded to investigate and
after hunting about in the rear Of the
store found a place where a plank was
off leaving a space large enough for
a boy to get in and out. A dark lan-
tern was secured and a thorough search
made with the result that Antonio Pasa-
quelle was found hiding among some
noxes and weeds. As his actions were
of a suspicious nature he was locked
up and will be given a hearing this
afternoon. .

placed him in the store to watch it.
This is denied by Ghitto, who says that
for some time past he has missed small
sums of money from the till. This

nies were missing, “Tony",the name
he is the better known by, is also_ thought

CLOTHING \VORKERS’ STRIKE.
York City Alone.
NEW YORK, Sept. 6.—There are now
about 15, 000 men on strike in this city.
Seven thousand of these are clothing task
workers, 7,000 more are finishers and gar-
ment workers thrown out by the strike,
and 1,000 are cloakmokers.
The section bounded by Delancey and'
Broome and Clinton and Orchard streets
on the eastslde is crowded with men and
women. There is no noisy demonstra-
ton, but the people gather in groups of 10'
or 12 and talk earnestly Of the strike and
its probable outcome.
H. Robinson, secretary of the local
branch of Garment workers, was seen at
76 Orchard street.
“Things are coming our way in great
shape,” said Mr. Robinson.
“The contractors are with us, and it is
only'a question of a few days before the
strike will be directed solely against the
manufacturers.
“The contractors have appointed a com-
mittee of four to meet a like committee Of
cure for the purpose of arbitration. - We
shall submit to them a scale of wages
which we have drawn up. I do not care
to make the wage schedule public at pres-
ent, but will do so later.”
Brooklyn Tailors Are Confident.
BROOKLYN, Sept. 6.—Most of the jouro
neyman tailors of Brooklyn have joined
the ranks of the strikers and are of the
Opinion today that the strike will be of
short duration, and that they will be suc-
cecssful. The employers have nothing to
say. . '
THAT ABANDONED RACE!
A Large Fleet at Freshwater Gate—More
About Vigilant’s Mishap.
FRESHWATER GATE, Isle of Wight, Sept.
6.—A~ fleet of yachts, large and small,
steamers and sailing craft, gathered this
morning in and about Totland bay in or-
der to witness the race for the Cape May
Challenge Cup. It was not generally
known until late in the morning that
Vigilant had lost her‘ centerboard; that
the Messrs. Gould had withdrawn their
challenge for the cup, and that the race
had been declared ofi. ‘
Britannia during the morning lay in
Cowes roads flying 38 winning flags, rep-
resenting the number of races she has won
this season. She will now be laid up for
the winter. The cutter was soon sur-
rounded by small boats sent to Obtain
particulars of the affair, and Vigilant was
also besieged with inquirers as long as she
was there.
Vigilant, soon after Britannia displayed
her winning flags, hoisted the stars and
stripes. At 1 p. in. she was taken in tow-
and headed for Southampton, where, it is
understood, she will lay up until next
year.
Reported Illness of S. B. Elklns.
WHEELING, Sept. 6.—A dispatch‘from
Elkins says that ex-Secretary Of War S.
B. Elklns is seriously ill at his home in
that place with an acute attack of erysip-
elas. His condition requires absolute rest
and quiet. Even visitors who are guests
in his house, among them ex-Prcstdent
Harrison, are not permitted to see him.
The Republican convention which is to
nominate a candidate against Congress-
man W. L.Wilson met. at Elklns today
and the town is crowded with delegates.
Mr. Elklns’ inability to participate is a
great disappointment.
Another Coke Strike.
UNIONTOWN, Pa., Sept. 6.-—In this end
of the Connellsvlllo field the coke men
are out again, and today all the points
south of this place were idle. The strikers
exploded dynamite bombs at each plant
visited. The firing created more excite-
ment than the marching and the music
and shouting of the strikers. Deputy
Sherifi Hart, with a force of armed men,
will be sent into the southern end of the
region in anticipation of trouble.
