Bridgeport’s Senator.
1 here seems to be a probability that
the opposing Candidates for Senator in
the Fourteenth or Bridgeport district
‘ will be old political opponents. Good-
sell is talked of by the Democrats and
Marigold by the Republicans. Three
years ago these two men locked horns
for the? mayoralty and Goodsell was
downed by Marigold. Whether history
is to repeat itself or not, such a contest
would make a most spirited and inter-
esting fight.

A Man of Nerve.
E. M. Houghton, Of New York, is a
nervy man. He went through a cut-
ting operation for cancer without an
anaesthetic, but against the advice of
his doctors : “The throat was cut open
and also the chest. The skin of the
lattor"was fiapped back, and all the
delicate, mechanism of the throat ex-
posed. The cancer was then cut out
and the various throat organs scraped,
cleaned and readjusted, and put back.”
He is doing well, and everybody who
reads about him will sincerely hope
that he may be able to enjoy the life
which he has sojbravely clung to.
A Senator Compromised.
In the GAZETTE’s telegraphic columns
yesterday, a pretty clear insight was
given of the satanic methods, cunning
and avarice. of one of the all too com-'
mon and familiar professional female
ensnarers of our public men, in Wash-
ington. Of course she was in deeper-
ate straits for a little money. All such
creatures are, and woe to the public or
reputed rich man, who gives a listening
ear to her siren song and yields 'the
solace of a gift .Of money for her tears
and supplication's’for bread for a starv-
ing family. The Capital is full of these
Wlly creatures and they constantly lie
in wait, craftily, for the new and green
and especially the reputedly wealthy
Congressman. Senator Stewart should
have been too old and wary a bird to
be caught on any such baited hook,
gilded though it was, with a pretty
woman’s copious tears. But he is en-
titled tO the Nation’s thanks for show-
ing the courage and determination to
fight one of these professional black-
mailers to the bitter end. It is to be
hoped he will be able to land his ac-
cuser in the penitentiary where she and
her like deserve to go. It is but a short
time since, that one of these adventur-
esses endeavored to secure the aid of
a New England senator’s private secre-
tary, by promising him half of all she
got, if he would assist her in hiring the
distinguished statesman into her power
and to his ruin. ' .

O
ADisgraceful- Row.
John Tierney was arrested last night
by Officer Bartram, on the charge of
assaulting Charles J. Hill, drunkenness
and breach Of the peace, at the Street
RailWay depot, and was placed in the
station house. The facts in the case as
a GAZETTE reporter learns them are
these :_ In company with Webster Bel-
den, thorium Tierney went into the
Railway station where Charles Hill was
sitting in a chair. Hill caught hold of
Belden and pulled him down into a
chair beside him, when Tierney inter-
fered and was struck in the face by
Hill. He returned the blow and
clinched with Hill both men falling,
with Tierney on top. Tierney pro~
ceeded to administer punishment to
_Hill, whereupon Belden took a hand
and fell on top of Tierney. Just then
Officer Bartram put in an appearance,
and after “fanning” Belden with his
club pulled him off of Tierney and did
the same to Tierney. As he saw no one
committing an assault but Tierney he
was the only one placed under arrest.
Hill and Belden he sent home. Tier-
ney was afterward released from the
station house and will be given a hear-
ing at 3 o’clock this afternoon.
The Flghta Draw.
The Olympic club’s carnival opened
at New Orleans last night with a fight
between J Ohnie Murphy of Boston and
Billy Plimmer, the English bantam-
weight champion. The contest was a
25-round go with gloves under the Mar-
quis of Queensbury rules, for a purse of
$2,500. .
Murphy tipped the scale at 113% and
Plimmer weighed 113 pounds. The
fight lasted an hour and forty minutes
and was hot and heavy from beginning
to end. Plimmer forced the fighting
at the outset and landed some heavy
blows. In the twenty-fifth round the
men shook hands. Plimmer tried to
get his left on Murphy’s stomacllbut he
landed short. Murphy drove hard on
v. Piimmer’s. ear with his right and fol-
'lowed it With his left on the stomach.
The round ended with the men spar.
ring and the contest was declared a
draw according to the agreement, as
both men “Were. on their feet at the
sound Of the gong. Murphy was badly
marked, but Plimmer had scarcely a
bruise, with the, exception of a swollen
lip.- ‘ ‘ ‘ ’ '

’The Law-ls Unconstltutionai.
The supreme cOurt of 'errors of the
state has just handed down an Opinion
in a Hartford county appeal, whicn is
of unusual interest to lawyers and is
one of the most important decisions
ever submitted by that body. It is in
regard toa recent law passed by the
last legislature to the effect that that
court must review the facts in cases of
an appeal. The court, in an opinion by
Judge Hamersley, finds that the law is
unconstitutional.
The Hartford county case was the
first one to be tried under the new law
and its outcome has been awaited
withiinterest. Previous to the new law,
all appeals to the supreme court of er-
rors were made only on paints of law.
In each appeal a finding of facts was
constructed by the trial udgetwhich
contained the facts as pro need in evi-
dence. Many times questions of law
arise on the admission of certain ev1-
dence and the finding of facts would
assist the higher court in determining
the question of admissibility of certain.
questions inevidence. The facts,-liow-
ever, were not received by the higher
court but simply furnished that body
to give them a clearer idea of the pomts
of law which they were called upon to
decide. .
During the January sessmn of the
legislature, however, an act was passed
as follows: “The supreme court shall
review all questions of fact raised by
the appeal as well a‘siall questions of
law and in all cases where _no eVidence
has been improperly admitted or ex.
cluded in the trial court, shall deter-
mine the questions of fact and law.and
render final judgment thereon.
“In passing upon said questions of
fact, said supreme court shall notare-
verse the finding Of the trial court 11;)-
on any question Of fact, unless it find
the conclusions of such trial court up-
on such question clearly against the
weight of evidence.”
This law placed a further duty on
the supreme court and opened other
sources of appeal from that of (the
points of law. The Hartford county
case was the first under the new law
and the court has decided that the leg-
islature has no right to impose upon it
any such duty and the law is therefore
declared unconstitutional. The opinion
by Judge Hamersley is concurred in by
all the other judges.

Give Us a Veteran.
EDITOR GAZETTE—For one of our
selectmen why not give us an Old sol-
dier? We believe the G. A. R. has
never been represented on the board,
and now that a change is about to be
made it would be well to recognize the
soldier vote. Again, why not be fair
to Winnipauk, a large manufacturing
locality, which has never had a select-
man, while East Norwalk and Norwalk
Bridge have had one for years almost
without number. If the Republican
caucus will give us Bradley S. Keith
we will pledge a good Democratic vote
for him and also that he will pay no
illegal school teacher bills that the town
had by vote forbidden, nor will he pay
any fradulent road repair bills. He 18

_ He Returns.
Tax Collector St. John, who has been
two weeks absent at Saratoga, indulg-
ing in the riotous living of deluging
himself with fiz water, returned home
late Saturday night. He made a record
while there of being the champion
spring-water drinker of ’94 and this
great fame reached Norwalk before he
did. He was at Sara-toga duringTom
Platt’s state convention and enjoyed
the gas and intense republican atmos-
phere, almost as much as he did the
carbonized waters. On Friday and
Saturday the advance guard of Tam-
manyites began to file into Saratoga to
fix things for the democratic state con-
vention of this week and this St. John
could not and would not endure and so
scooted for home.
O
No Four Hour Trains.
Regarding the rumored four hour
fiyers between New York and Boston
General Superintendent Platt said yes-
terday :
“The present train service is entirely
ample and there is no demand for faster
trains. The five hour train is the fast-
est in the country, and leaving out the
stops, it runs through in four hours and
three quarters, or at the rate of about
50 miles an hour. I guess the people
do not care to ride any faster than that._
Of course a-four hour train is imprac-
ticable. At any rate, the present ser-
v1ce is entirely adequate and I have
not heard of any demand for a faster
train.”

Beardsley for‘llleutenant Governor.
[Special to the Gazette]
At the Democratic State convention,
in the Hyperion theatre at New Haven,
this morning, the candidates most
prominentlymentioned for the Gover-
norship are Judge Morris B. Beardcley
of Bridgeport, Lieutenant - Governor
Ernest Cady of Hartford and ,Radclifi'e
Hicks, of Tolland county.
George M. Gunn, Of Milford, was
elected temporary and permanent chair-
man, and addressed the convention on
taking the chair. At each reference
made to President Cleveland by Mr.
Gunn the hall rang with applause. _
’H. Booker, Of Fairfield, Was appornted
a vice-president from the 13th district,
L. M. Monroe, of New Canaan, from
the 12th, and Col. W. H. Stevenson
from the 14th. James T. Hubbell, of
N orwalk, was placed on the committee
on resolutions from the 13th district.
An informal ballot was taken, result-
ing as follows : 245
Cady,
Beardsley. 190
Delegate Canfield moved that the
ballot be made formal, which was done,
and Mr. Ernest Cady declared nomi-
nated.
On motion of the Hartford delega-
tion, Judge Morris B. Beardsley, of
Bridgeport, was nominated for Lieut-
Governor by acclamation.
The Fairfield county delegates held
the only harmonious session. Their
caucus was held in the New Haven
house, with William H. Stevenson, of
Bridgeport, presiding. The only busi
ness transacted was the voting by the
delegates to stand solid by Beardsley
for Governor, first, last and all the
time during the convention, and the
caucus adjourned after being in session
only about fifteen minutes.
At the New Haven and Hartford
county caucuses there was considerable
spirit shown and but little good feeling
was engendered. This was especially
true of the New Haven county caucus.
It was finally decided that the delegates
go to the convention unpledged al-
though it is understood that the New
Haven town delegates are for Beards-
ley and the balance Of the county di-
vided.
The Hartford County caucus was the
scene of a prolonged contest, but final=
1v the delegates decided to support
i rnest Oady for governor by a vote of
40 to 18. Prior to the county caucus
the Hartford cit'y delegates held a con-
ference, at which Beardsley received
seven votes, Cady six, blank one. ab-
sent one. An effort was made to“ make
the vote unanimous, but the motion
did not prevail.
The Litchfield county caucus was
held behind closed doors. The dele-
gates could not agree on anything, and
in consequence declined to commit
itself for any state officer except Nich-
olas Staub for comptroller. For gov-
ernor the delgation is divided between
Beardsley and Cady. Beardsley, on a
ballot‘being‘ taken, resulted in his re-'
ceiving 33.votes to 12 for (lady.
Windham county delegates also met
and had a stormy session. E. C. Bene-
dict was their choice for governor, but
if he will not run are equally divided
between Beardsley and Cody.
The Tolland county caucus could not
agree upon a candidate being divided
between Hicks, Cady and Beardsley,
with Hicks leading.
Middlesex county delegates decided
to favor Cndy for governor provided
his name was presented to the conven-
tion to-day supported by the Hartford
county delegation, otherwise to support
Morris B. Beardsley.
The New London‘caucus voted to en-
dorse Ernest Cady for governor, Morris
B. Beardsley for lieutenant governor,
J. J. Desmond, of Norwich, for score-
tary of state and Nicholas lStaub of
New Milford for comptroller.

"Sam” Always Ready.
Postmaster Charles W. Dayton, coun-
sel for William P. Wentworth, ex-cash-
ier of the Victoria Hotel, New York,
who is under six indictments for the
alleged larceny of $28,750, belonging
to Douglas M. Stanfield, was greatly
provoked yesterday at the manner in
which Wentworth was rearrested Sun-
day evening at the Postmaster’s resi-
dence, No.13 Mount Morris Park West.
WentWorth was compelled to get a
new bondsman yesterday and Recorder
Smyth approved of Hon. Samuel Fes-
senden, of Stamford, who drew from
his pocket $10,000 in greenbacks, which
permitted Wentworth to remain at lib-
erty until tomorrow, when he will be
placed on trial before Judge Martino.

Against the Sweating System~—Al-
ready Thousands of Them Are.
Without Employment.
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—Thc shirtmakers’ .
strike began in grim earnest today. Wal-
halla hall, 48 Orchard street, resounded
With a babel of voices, and Hood'sfomous
“Song of the Shirt” was more popular
’ with the east side women, who fully ap-
preciate it, than ever before. ’
Wnlhallc hall is the general rendezvous
for the male contingent of the strikers;
59 East Broadway, the headquarters of
the Shirtmakers' union, is reserved for
the women and girls and the executive
committee of the organization.
There are 8, 000 shirtmakers in this city,
and about 3,000 of them, who are now on
strike, have labored for the man known as
“sweaters” or contractors—men who bar-
gain with wholesale dealers and jobbers to.
furnish stocks of shirts of any style.
The largest of these “sweater” contract-
ors pro enabled to cleara profit of $75 and
even $100 a week, and the smallest are
content to make from $25 to $50 a week
each.
Nearly 300 Strike.
The main object of attack this morning
on the part of the strikers was the shop of
Elias Reiss, 300 Monroe street, where 150
hands were employed until today, when
all but 20 of them struck. It is one of the
largest if not the largest “sweater” shops
in the city. .
Mr. Bates is known as the “czar” among
the strikers because of the extremely
strict rules be enforces in his shop and
the system of espionage which he places
upon his employees.
For these reasons Reiss’ workers have
hitherto not been organized, but starva-
tion wages, overwork and bad surround-
ings are said by his employees to be the
cause for the almost general stampede
that took place fromfihis shop today.
The union committee sent Charles
Weinberg to “pipe off” Reiss’ shop this
morning and report the movements of
Relss in securing new bands and to ob-
tain such other information as he could
gather. .
When Weinberg walked quietly past
Reissf shop, the latter saw him. Relss
had notified the police of the Madison
Street station of the strike, and five blue-
coats were standing about the building.
Roles called one of the patrolman and de-
manded Welnberg’s arrest.
The Picket Fined.
The picket declared he was not break-
ing the law, and he and Raise engaged in
an angry argument. Then Weinberg do
manded Reiss’ arrest, and both were taken
to the station house and thence to the Es-
sex Market court, where Relss was dis«
charged and Weinberg was flncd $5, with-
out, hls friends allege, a full hearing of
his side. '
He paid his fine and returned to picket
duty. His treatment made the strikers
very indignant. ,
The shops of Louis &. Son, 477 Broad-
way, 80 hands; Citron, in' East Third
street, near Lewis, 70 hands, and Mrs.
Books, 318 and 320 East Houston street,
80 hands, are among the largest aflected
by the strike. Nearly all the other shops
employ from 10 to 25 hands each.
Successful Precautions Against Cholera.
LONDON, Sept. 25,—A dispatch from
Berlin to The Times says that Professor
Koch, lecturing at Madgeburg, admitted
that cholera was still an obscure disease”
but he added he was glad to say that the
precautions against the disease “dopti‘il
in Germany had proved a perfect smmresc.
It was only in places where“ the ;
tlons began too late that there was a regu-
lar epidemic.
The Blilerica Murder Case.
LOWELL. Mass, Sept. 25.-—Pntrick
Foley, Patrick Sullivan and Cornelius
Nagle of Somervllle were brought here to-
day and arraigned in the police court,
charged with the murder of Duroy Foster
of Bilierica, who was killed by highway-
men recently. They pleaded not guilty.
About 20 witnesses were sworn. The
hoarlnn‘ will probably last three dare
ropes! “
