A Battle fbr Silver.
It is announced that in executive ses-
sion of the committee of the Salt Lake
Silver Convention, it was decided to
raise a fund of $250,000 per month to be
expended in fighting the battle for
cheap money in the Eastern States, and
it is no longer a secret that those who
expect to make 50 cents worth of silver
command a dollar by the stamp of the
United states Government, are ready to
expend millions if necessary to main-
tain their speculation at the expense of
the credit and prOSperity of the nation.

Graduation.
An immens‘e audience packed the
Opera House last night to witness the
exercises of the graduating class oi
Over River school. The stage was a
perfect bower of palms, potted plants
and exquisite flowers, the latter the
gifts of admiring friends to the grad—
uates.
Rev. Dr. Noble invoked the Divine
' blessing when Miss Agnes Bryant de-
livered a very felicitious salutatory.
This was followed by an address from
Prof. Clark of Boston upon the subject
of Practical Education. It was a most
valuable contribution to the interest of
the occasion. A song, by the school
followed when Rev. C. M. Selleck pre-
sented the diplomas prefaced by a co-
gent and eloquent address to the grad-
uates, to have an earnest purpose in
life.

Voting by the New Plan.
The Myers voting‘machine is to be
used in the city election down in Mount
Vernon thié week. The Democratic
.plpers published in that enterprising
city are now inviting their readers to
“push every yellow button in sight,”
while Republicans are telling the peo;
ple that only by pushing the red button
will they ensure good municipal gov-
ernment. The Prohibition buttons is
probably blue, the People’s party but-
tons green, and so on.

V His Sudden Death Revealed His
True Character.
The Coroner Has The Green Goods
Outfit Found in His Carriage.
Coroner Doton visited Westport yes-
terday and made an investigation into
the death of the man who died sudden-
ly in that town Monday evening. He
is satisfied that the deceased was a
bunco sharper and that he was on a
swindling trip through the state instead
of a week’s cross country {trip as his
companion stated.
The name Daniel Simpson! has been
found to be ficticious, and it has been
ascertained that he was not known at
the New York address given by his
companion.
Among the effects of the dead man
Coroner Doton found in his carriage
two tin boxes such as are used by bunco
dealers containing two packages. Each
package was marked $5,000. The pack-
bOard and newspapers, but on the out-
All told there were $168 of good mon-
_ ey in the packages, which were sup-
posed to contain $10,000. The coroner
also found packages of newspapers con-
taining notices of farms for sale. in
different parts of Connecticut and there
is no doubt but that the fake- packages
were intended for some garrulous farm-
er who had farms to sell in this section.
All these effects together with the
horse and carriage are held by the
Westport authorities.
The body of the dead man is at
Undertaker Fable’s rooms. He was
about 45 years old, five feet 11:5- inches
high-and weighed 225 pounds. He was a
trifle bald, had a sandy moustache, and
his face was pitted. His body will be
held several days to give relatives and
friends a chance to claim it. It was
photographed yesterday afternoon.
The photograph will be sent to Super-
tity of the man. The two tin boxes are
now in the coroner’s office in Bridgeport,
- and will be retained.
In one box was a stone and some fresh
leaves. In the other box were the two
packages described above. Beside
these the coroner has a suit of clothes
which were found in the buggy, a fine
gold watch, two empty pocket books,
. two blank books and a broken pair of
opera glasses. The companion of the
' dead man gave his name as David Burke
and was about 35 years of age, with
sandy hair red moustache and brown
, overcoat. He told Dr. Powers of West-
port that he would go right to New York
and notify the widow of the deceased.
Nothing more will be heard from him.
The coroner has placed the horse and
ibuggy in a Westport stable as he has no
I clue of the owner.
A GAZETTE representative learns that
.on Monday a rather genteel dressed
and glib-tongdcd man drove up to the
residence of James E. Miller, in Wil-
ton, and inquired for Mr. Miller, who
was at home. The stranger saluted
with a “How do you do Mr. Miller,”
. but the latter gentleman failed to rec-
'ognize the stranger, who then explained
that he was from Stamford and that his
father was president of a bank in that
city.
He followed this introduction of him-
self up by asking if Mr. Miller had any
fatted cattle for sale. 011 reCeiving an
answer in the negative, he then volun-
teered the information that he was in
reality looking for a farm for a Stam-
ford woman who had recently fallen
into possession of $40,000 and wished
. to invest a portion of the same in a
rood farm. He asked Mr. Miller if
his farm was for sale.
He was informed that it was if he
could get his price for it. The stranger
then expressed a desire to look the farm
:over and asked Mr. Miller to get in the
carriage with him and drive about the
place. Miller accepted the invitation,
(as he claims, for the purpose of seeing
just what the fellow’s scheme was, he
having become suspicions that he was
a crook,) and they drove off.
. , They had not gone far, however,
‘ when a man stepped out from some
bushes beside the road, and hailing the
driver of the horse, ache in apparent-
ly assumed broken English the way to

while coming from New York to either
of the two places, he lost his way and
found himself where he then was. He
, said that he came from Alabama a few
: days ago, where he had diaposed of a
large amount of property at a good fig-
ure, and that while on his way to Nor-
walk he had stopped in New York to
Presi—v‘ see the “elephant” and met some card
~ sharpers who had “done” him out of
. several hundredzdollars. and offered to
' show Miller and hislcompanion how it
was done, and suiting his action to the
proposition he sat down, took a square
piece of stiff cloth and three cigarette
picture cards from his pocket and then
explained the game by dexteriously
tossing the cards over the'cloth, but be-
' fore so manipulating them asked Mil-
ler’s companion to select in his mind a
card and then locate it if he could.
The latter was successful in his‘ guess.
The “man from Alabama” then offered
, to bet ten dollars that he could not do
it again. The offer was accepted and
Miller’s companion again won. The
, ' _ l
ages were comprised mostly of paste-..
side of each were some genuine green- ,
' backs.
game was repeated several times until
the bets reached 85,000, both the “man r
from Alabama” and Miller’s companion
producing a "flat” of bills that seem-
ingly amounted to that figure. The
latter invariably won. .
Then the business part of the 8ch-
dental (?) meeting of the trio com-
menced, by the “man frOm Alabama"
asking Mr. Millerlto bet $5,000, $2,000,
or $500 on the game. Miller declined
and said that he had no money to in-
vest. It was suggested that he might
borrow it from some friend, a suggest-
ion that he refused to act upon. Then
the sharpers evidently became - con-
vinced that Miller was not to be fleeced
as the “man from Alabama” soon after
offered to give the driver of the horse
ten dollars if he would take him to
Norwalk. Turning to Miller the driver
with an assurance that was startling,
said, ‘ ‘I don’t know how I could make
ten dollars; in an easier manner. If
you have no objections I will take our
friend to Norwalk and return as soon
as I can, and talk with you further in
reference to the farm.”
Mr. Miller got out of the carriage,
the “man from Alabama” got in, and
the pair drove off. They never came
back.
And in view of the information elici-
ted in the commencement of this arti-
cle, one of them never can come back
and the other one never will.

violation of the laws. relating to the
sale of spirituous and intoxicating li-
quors‘was yesterday passedjn concur—

lowing year ; but in the absense of such
certificate, or for any subsequent con-
viction, or the forfeiture Olav. bond in a
subsequent prosecution, or the settle-
ment of a subsequent prosecution upon

extent of their jurisdiction ; and in all
cases where such prosecution shall come

court or justice before whom such pros-
ecution was originally brought.
Section 4. The penalties provided in
section one shall be in lieu of penal-
ties now provided by law, and the pro-
visions of section two may apply to
cases pending when this act takes ef-
fect.
LostHls Teeth.
The report that a German carp was
caught, yesterday, which on being
dressed was found to contain a set of
false teeth, is denied. It is said to be
true, however, that on Monday last,
Mr. J. Hustling Fisherman Hoyt and
J. Jolly Healey were in the Silver Mine
district after trout, and other members
of the finny tribe, and that while stand-
' ing on a dam there,Healey sneezed and
in so-doing his false teeth were thrown
into the pond, and that all efforts to
recover them were fruitless. Anyone
catching a fish with a set of teeth in its
stomach will find it to their advantage
to communicate with Mr. Henley.
