Another man has picked out the President of the United States to dis- agree with, and that man .was his bosom friend and Postmaster General. “Friend after friend departs; who has not lost a friend?” Everybody has lost friends, though few have lost so many as Mr. Cleveland. It is sad to find that Mr. Bissell should disagree with him about so little a thing as the Utica post office. But there is still a sadder thought than this. Mr. Bissell was one of the few men in this country who understood Mr. Cleveland’s conception of the relations Of Cabinet officers to the President, and who effaced himself in accordance therewith. The number of men possessed of this intelligence and this heroic self-denial cannot be great, and if Bissell fails at last on these points, who shall succeed?” —coo The Moral of Sullivan. There is a report from the South that dchn L. Sullivan the prize fighter, and sometime the idol of all admirers Of that sport, has received an offer to take the platform as a temperance lecturer. That is one of the few eccentric occupa- tions left open to him, and in that he would shine less, perhaps, as an orator than as a terrible example of the conse- quence of drink. Sullivan was at one time almost a hero. He was, indeed, a hero in the eyes Of some millions of men and boys, In ”it hose opinions that man is great who in mere 1.ersonal combat can prob- ably whip any other in sixty millions. He was a magnificent type of phySJcal manhood. He had courage, dash, endurance and phenomenal skill as a boxu. With attributes he possessed an intelligence quite unusual in the world in which he lived. He was a great success, and every sort of pros- these perity seemed at his command. But he loved rum, and rum sapped his great physical vigor, and destroyed that nice balance of faculties upon which depended his skill, his confidence in himself, his courage. It threw him off his pedestal, and he has been ever since only a conspicuous example of how in any sphere of life. the incapacity to control a vicious appetite involves l‘lllll. Protection for Candidates. An evil of which only those who have had the personal experience can thor- oughly appreciate the Ofi'ensiveness, an- noyance, and sometimes pecuniary hard- ship, is likely to receive its quietus, if not to be altogether done away with, by a bill which has just passed both Houses ofathe New York Legislature. It is in- tended to protect candidates for office against the various sorts of blackmail to which they have long been exposed, and in too many instances submissively yield. The worst form of this abuse and one that is often carried to a shameless ex- tent consists in the borrowing of money, or attempts to borrow, of candidates, who are not supposed to have the cour- age to resist approaches and solicita- tions of this character. As a conse- quence the victim not only becomes the loser of every dollar which he thus Equanders on his impecunious. friend, but may often be put to serious embar- rassment thereby. Even when he suf- fel'b' no material lots and is able to Blif’fld whatever assessment the black- mailers choose to impose upon him, he cannot well weape the mortification and humiliation which the conscious- eg-gs l aving yielded to their mercen- ary demands inevitably carries with it. Under the New York law, if lived up to as it should be, the candidate will no longer be intimidated into throwing his money away upon every rapacious heeler who wants a "loan" and he will als ) be relieved from innumerable pet. ty exactiom, which though small in themselves, are large in the aggregate andmone the less in the nature of a threat and a nuisance. The act re- ferred to roads as follows: “Aiiy person who solcits from a can- didate for an elective Ofiice, money or other property, or who seeks to induce such candidate to purchase any ticket, card or other evidence of admission to any ball, picnic, fair, or entertainment of any kind is guilty of a misdemeanor: but this section shall not apply to a demand for a contribution of money from an authorized representative of the political party to which such can- didate belongs.” As will be seen, the liberty of the candidate to contribute to the legitimate expenses of a campaign through an authorized assessment or otherwise, is "not interfered with. The law is simply to protect him from phlebotomy. Right Hand Cut Off. John F. Paddock, 9. Derby motor- man, is at the New Haven hospital. His car ran into an open switch, he was thrown off and the wheels passed over his hand cutting off his right hand. .__————-——~.OO- Lane Won. In the contest between Harry Lane, of Bridgeport, and James Wicker, of Springfield, before the Hartford Wheel club last night, the decision was given to Lane. Cob Web Social. The cob web sociable given at the residence of Cornelius M. Daniels, on Chestnut street, last evening, by the Helping Hand Circle of King’s Daugh» ters of the 2d Methodist church, was a very enjoyable affair, and over sixty young people were present. After a well rendered banjo duet by the Misses Helen Hyatt and Lillian Bennett, and piano selections by Miss Mabel Scrib- ner, which were heartily encored, over fifty of the guests participated in the unwinding of the webs, which created a great deal of amusement. Later all hands enjoyed delicious light refresh- ment s. To Correct the Record. Application has been made to the Probate Court for the admission to] probate of the will of the late Caroline Matheis who died some time ago. The fact that the will had never been filed was not discovered until this week when Joseph Matheis, husband of the deceased, desired to sell the Skiddys block, NC. 20 Main street, to Danie Conley. A search of the records at thi time diclosed the fact that the property was still in the name of his wife, and that it could not be disposed of until the will had been probated, hence the applica- tion. The case will be heard Tuesday before Judge Woodward. A Lively Runaway. A runaway horse created considerable excitement on Main street, this morn- ing. The animal belonged to livery- man Magner and has several times be- fore demonstrated his ability to smash up everything in the shape Of a wagon from a sulky to a coal cart. This morn- ing he was harnessed to a delivery wagon and was hitched t) a post in front of the grocery store at the corner of Main and School streets. This did not suit his restless temper and so he pulled the post up and started down Main street at a wild gait. Near Hoyt street he met his first victim in the shape of Munger’s express wagon and from this he promptly lifted a spoke from the wheel. Then he espied Charles J. Fer- riss’teamand some ugly demon must have taken possession of him, for he knocked the horse down, badly injur- ing him, and broke the 'whifiletree of the wagon. Then he started again but was stepped by a crowd Of men just as as had drawn a bead on another victim. Strange to say the only injury to the runaway team was a twisted axle. At Hartford. The fisheries committee reported un- favorably on Hull’s bill providing a penalty for fishing or being found with any fishing tackle on fishing premises on Sunday. The bill was rejected. A bill was favorably reported by the committee on education that is sweep- ing in its character. It provides for free text books and other school sup- plies in every town in Connecticut at the expense of the town, the law to become operative July 1, 1895. The senate passed the bill increasing Fairfield county deputy sherifis to .20; forbidding any school district to take church land without consent of the owners, and empowering the bank com- missioners to have the same jurisdiction over building and loanussociations, as they have over banks. The room of the commlttec on fish- eries was crowded in the afternoon while the bill consolidating the fish commissions and transferrin 1 headquar- ters to Hartford, was under discussion. Opponents of the measure were heard. It was stated that cultivators represent- ing nine tenths of the oyster bed acre- age were opposed to the measure. The hearings on the following street railway extension matters were contin- ued before the railroad committee to Tuesday, March 6 : Amendment to char- ter of the Norwalk Street Railway CO ; relating to Westport and Saugatauck Co.; incorporating Westport and South port Tramway 00.; amending charter of Bridgeport Tract-ion 00.; Norwalk Tramway Co., regarding extension of tracks. . ’, Connecticut Pensions.

William Willets, a driver for W. E. Hathaway. the Bridgeport expressman, was arrested yesterday by Captain Birmingham for a. criminal assault committed Tuesday night. His victim was Julia Wenglar, 22, a pretty Swede domestic at Mrs, Bartram’s in Black Rock and the deed was committed on Scoville avenue. Middletown Sued For$10.000. Horace R. Butler, contractor for the Middletown municipal building over which there has been so much wrang- ling, has sued the city’s and town of Middletown and county of Middlesex for $10,000 damages for breach of con- tract in delaying the work and chang- ing the plans of the interior of the building. Concordia Will Fight. The Concordia society announces its intention to fight the Law and Order League. Its officers have retiined Attorneys Canficld and Judson to act for them, and they say they will make the league show their hand if all the citizens of Bridgeport are dragged into the affair. Attorney Canfield appeared before Judge Carroll and asked that all the cases of the men arrested be con- tinued until Saturday. Judge Carroll granted his request. Prosecuting Agent Toomey says he will issue no more warrants until the cases already in hand are disposed .of. The twelve policemen on duty at the ball are alarmed over the turn affairs have taken. In the event of a. trial the testimony will disclosejust what the Officers dld 'Or did not do at the ball, and it is un- derstood the police commissioners will show no leniency if the police are proved culpably negligent. . This con- dition, combined with the alarm felt by citizens who fear they will be subpoena- ed to tell what they 'saw, makes the sztuation there very interesting just now. -—————-—————‘-..’_.———————- Amusements. MUSIC HALL. It sounds like a self-evident prOposi- tion that “She Couldn’t Marry Three,” but in the play of that name which Miss Lillian Kennedy brings to Music Hall to-night, Friday and Saturday, with a. Saturday matinee, with a change of play each night, it is shown what a lot of trouble may fall upon a girl because she can only marry one man at a time. This most charming little soubrette, Miss Kennedy, has created in this play a new type Of maidenly sweetness. Bess Brandon, the heroine of the play. is a. fisherman’s daughter, who is obliged to choose her husband from two good men and one bad one who are court-ing her at once. NOR’WALK OPERA HOUSE. Miss Minnie Lester’s portrayal of “Little Busy Body,” at the Opera. House, last evening, was the finest bit of acting this popular little soubrette has given us during her engagement in this city. The large and appreciative audience was charmed with the star. the play and the music and another crowded house will no doubt greet her this evening in the “Silver Ledge.” Matinees will also be given this after- noon, tO-morrow and Saturday. __.___ . . . ._.__—_._.

THE ARMENIAN OUTBAGES. Efforts to Destroy Evidence—Hundreds of Mutilated Bodies In a. Trench. LONDON, Feb. 28.——Thc Telegraph today has a two column dispatch from a. reporter who was sent by it to investigate the Ar- menian outrages. It is dated at Mush, Jan. 23, and was sent by the Russian tole- graph line from Kars. It records the at- tempts on the part of the Turks to destroy the proofs of the outrages, and especially to obliterate the telltale pit dug behind the residence of Viallage, chief of Djellycgoo- zan, in which hundreds of mutilated bodies were piled, heads, arms, hands, legs and trunks mingling in one mass. Barrels of petroleum that were originally intended to be used in burning villages were poured into the pit and set on fire. The flames- failcd to consume the mass, and a. hill stream was then dammed and diverted from its course, but even this failed to wash away the evidence of the massacre. NOW the remains are bei u g removed piece- meal. The details of this massacre, in which, after promising imperial protection, the Turks escorted tho Armenians a distance from the camp before slaying them, are sickening and most fiendish. The Bulga- rian atrocities seem mild in comparison with these savage horrors, which are am- ply confirmcd by numerous independent eyewitnesses. The fugitives were pur- sued and butchered. Some, however, escaped and went to Mush to testify before the commission appointed to investigate the outrages. They were seized and im~ prisoncd on various pretexts. Spies and policemen stalked the highways and pounced upon any Armenian who was sus- pected of an intention to testify— ,W- ,— K _..—_ Newsboys wanted. ' m A oxygen: LOST. The Mexican Wgrphip La Libertad Bo- llevod to Have Foundered. lconsul, Senor Manqucl Zamora, has re- ceived a dispatch from the marine-departs ment of the Mexican government stating that the Mexican man-of—war La Libertad sailed from Vera. Cruz Feb. 9 for New Orleans, where she was to be docked, ro- paired and painted. She is now more than ten days overdue, and there. is but little room to doubt that the steamer toundered in the gulf during the heavy norther which prevailed in the gulf of Mexico from the'10th to the 16th. In shipping generally accepted as a foregone conclu- sion, and Senor Zamora reluctantly takes this view of the matter. Her crew, con- sisting of 50 oflicers and men, it is feared, have all been lost. The vessel was under the command of Senor P. H. Salva, and the officers were as follows : First engineer. Jose Bencdos; second engineer, Theofilo Remessi; paymaster, Pedro Rondero; first officer, Enrique Bettiam; second ofiicer, Pedro R. Fuentea. La. Libertad was built in 1875 or 1876 in a yard near Liverpool and went into com- mission immediately afterward. She was equipped with two masts, square rigged: and relied to a. large extent upon her sails in ordinary voyaging. She had also been fitted with fine modern engines and could develop a. speed of about 15 knots an hour. La. Libertad’s armament consisted of seven guns, two of them heavy rifles, two rapid firing guns and. the remainder of small caliber. La. Libertad has been fre- quently seen in New Orleans, and her officers were well known here. Her last visit was paid during the second year of the cotton centennial in 1836, when she remained some time. Her last trip was undertaken primarily for‘ the purposes in- dicated above, but also to participate in the carnival festivities. Concerning the severe weather which prevailed on the gulf for a week after La Libertad sailed from Vera. Cruz, Captain J. W. Pickthall of the steamship Nicara- guan, from Liverpool via Mexican ports, which arrived yesterday, reports that he was detained two days at Tampico by a heavy northcr, which washed away 1,000 feet of the north jetty; arrived at Vera Cruz on Feb. 10, and from the 11th until the 16th heavy northcrs prevailed there, during which three lighters were sunk and two driven ashore, but no lives lost; thence had bad weather to this port. Later.—It is reported that the Mex- ican man—of—war 'La Libertad, which was believed to have been lost during the recent northers on the gulf, has just anchored in the jetty channel, out of coal and with her sails split. THE PHILADELPHIA LEXOWIZING. Proposed Investigation Postponed—Atti- tude of Senator Quay’s Friends. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 28.—-A Harrisburg special says: The proposed investigation of Philadelphia affairs by a. senate committee has been abandoned for the present, with the probability that it will not be under- taken at all. Those back of the movement conferred with each other today, and it was agreed to let the matter drop for this week at least. The reason given for the change Of front by Senator Qiiay’s friends is that there is considerable opposition to the investigation, but the real reason is believed to be that the friends of the pro- posed inquiry could not foresee where it would end and whOm it would affect. Be~ sides it was threatened by those against whOm the~ investigation would be directed to start a counter inquiry against the friends of the investigation, who, it was said, were just as culpable in another direc- tion. There are some persons who think that the introduction of the resolution provid- ing for the investigation has only been postponed until after congress adjourns. next Monday, when Senator Quay will be in a. position to give the matter his per- sonal attention. It is reported here that he intends coming to Harrisburg next week to spend a couple Of days. It is very likely he will then, decide whether or not the investigation shall be undertaken. Everything, hovvovcr, now points to an entire abandonment of the subject. Hawaiian Exiles Sue. VANCOUVER, B.'C., Feb. 28.—A suit against the Canadian and Australian Steamship company was commenced in the supreme court by the three Hawaiian exiles, Cranstoun, Mueller and Johnson. Leave was granted by the court to issue writs against Captain Bird, the command- er Of the steamship Warrirhoo, the vessel upon which they were compelled to take their departure from the islands. Everything Quiet In Savannah. SAVANNAH, Feb. 28.—Thero have been no developments in the Slatt-ery case, and up to 11 o’clock everything is reported as quiet. Today the board of managers of the Young Men’s Hebrew association. which has the lease of the hall in Masonic tem- ple, adopted resolutions canceling the con- tract for the hall with Slattery, the ex- priest.

AN" ODD BOYCOTT. Typesetters Asked to Have Nothing to nfiTel'SE Tales Of the Times.*1 . With the Salvation Army. . SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 28.—The boycott of The War Cry by the typographical un« ion will probably result in an organized fight against the Salvation Army by trade: unions. Steps are being taken by the un- ion to accomplish the result, and copies 01 their manifestocs calling on all members of the unions to refrain from having any- thing to do with the Salvation Army have been sent all over the coast. The War Cry offices of New York and London are both under union rules, and the system workr smoothly. The printers are very confident of Winning in the end, because General Booth is known to be in favor of labor or- ganizations. ‘ At the headquarters of the typographical union the feeling is very bitter at the action of Staff Captain Milsaps, who discharged the two soldier typesettcrs because they asked General Booth to order The War Cry offices unionized. On the other hand, Stafi Captain .Milsaps is equally obduratc. He declares he is the man who has sole con- trol of. the local Office, and that by going to General~Booth Captain Merritt and Pri vatc Hickok were guilty of conspiracy against him (Milsaps). “They should have come to me,” said the editor, “but thcy passed me by, went to the general and showed that they had been conspiring to defeat my purpose W’hllt working under my command. As this is a. military organization, such behavior could not be tolerated, and I discharged them. ” THE HAY‘VARD TRIAL. Much Evidence Brought Out In Favor or Defendant. MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 28.—The defense in the Hayward murder case seems deter- mined to fasten the responsibility for the highway robbery of April 27, 1894, on Adry Hayward, the brother of the defend- ant. The chief incident of today’s session was the testimony given by Fred Horst oi the Postoflicc Alley stable that Adry Hayward hired a. horse at 9‘ 3. m. that date and returned it at 11:30. This would have given him time to take part in the holdup of his brother and Miss Ging and ‘Miss Vedder. The defense expects to show . by other Witnesses that Adry was seen near the scene of the robbery that night. The defense also devoted some time to proving that Miss Ging had actually con- templated going into the millincry busi- ness on Nicollct avenue, an intention which would explain her desire to borrow money from Hayward. The agent of the property to Whom she talked of renting and two ladies for whom she had worked and to whom she had talked of her project gave the evidence. A watch repairer in the employ Of Eustis Bros. testified as to the leaving for re- pairs by Harry Hayward of a watch which figured in the Blixt story of the tin box episode. The watch was left on the morn— ing of the day of the murder. Red Sea. \Vreckers Arrested. SUEZ, Feb. 28.——Severa1 Red sea pro- fessional wreckers have been arrested for pillaging the steamer Yarrowdalc, recent- ly wrecked in the Red sea.
