Mr. Reed Renominated.

The Republican Congressmnal caucus
honored itself even more than it honor—
ed the Hon. Tlios Brackett Reed by its
action Saturday night in unanimously
renominating that statesman for Speak-
er. Mr. Reed is‘ "not only a magnificent
type of sterling, progressive Republi-
canism, but the splendid service he
has performed as the Republican- leader

' of the House of Representatives, the
personal sacrifices he has made in that
capacity and the storm of villification
to which he has been subjected for dar-
ing to discharge his duty'to the country
have easily earned for him this marked
distinction.

lie will Worthily fill the position for
which he is named and we predict that
he will prove the same imperturbable‘
and resolute master of circumstances in
the Fifty-fourth Congress that he was in
the memorable Fifty-first.

The Growth of Our Industries.

The. one infallible barometer of the
gsowtb of industries in this country is
found in the records of our great trans-
portation lines. Their reports of the
condition of American industics are in-
fallible. Au ofiioialof the Pennsylvania
Railroad recently speaking of the dif-
ferenca in railroad traifié since one year
ago, said that on the 1st of December,
1801, that company had 18,000 cars
stowed away in sheds because not want-
ed, while tJ-day they are not only using
every car they own, but could use over
30,003 more cars than they have at their
command. When asked whether it was
notpossrble to obtain e :rs from other
railways to bridge over the emergency,
the answer was that every other rail-
road in the country his use for more
cars than it now possesses. Such is the
record of our present industries as writ—
ten by the only safe barometer of bus-

iness and trade.

A Word to the New Members.

The appearance on our street-s of a
great. number of serious and solemn
visziges, accompanied by an equal num-
ber of broad—brimmed soft hats, black
frock coats, and white cambric neck-
ties, admonishes us, says the Washing-
ton l’ost, that the new member is as-
sembling in force and reminds us that
as his friend and mentor we have a
duty to perform.

What troubles us about the new
member, continues the Post, ishis
patient but evidently dreadful suffering
under a sense of responsibility. Speak-

ing from our knowledge of human na-

ture in the abstract, we know that a

great many, if not most of these gen-

tlemen, are, in their normal condition,
genial, light-hearted, and kindly per-
sons. We should say, on a rough esti-
mate, that fully eight out often of them
really like their fellow man and feel an
inclination to be happy and familiar
with them. It is our conviction that,
but for an ever~present apprehension as
to the effect upon the people and the
government of the very smallest relax-
ation of vigilance on their purl, they
would gladly lay aside the cares of state
forafew hours each day and mingle
with mankind on equaliterms of merri
ment and case. And all this moves us
to assure the new —member that the
greatwork of saving the country has
not yet begun, and that for a week or
‘two, at least, he may unbend without
prejudice to the Republic and its insti-
tution:-. I
We tnowthat a great burden rests
upon him. We would not discount by
so much as a pennyweight the load he
bears. We appraise at its full value
the solomnity of the charge that has
been imposed upou‘ him by an intelli-
gent and a patriotic constituency. life
carries a freight of responsibility under
which an ordinary man would stagger.
He is the trustee ofour fortunes, our
liberties and our common happiness.
At the proper time we shall expect to
see' lum throw out his chest until every

scam in his beautiful frock coat strains]

 

$2,642.85.

beneath the mighty tension and an-_
nounce, in tones that make the eagle-
scream again, that peril can touch this
sacred land only over his prostrate and
mutilated form. All we aSk is that, ” in
the mean time, and before the trouble
actually begins, he will abate alittle
something of that majesty of mien, dis-
miss a few of the forums that now roost
upon his brow, and—temporarily, of
course—lay aside the burden of pa:-
riotic care. under which even his titanic
shoulders have already shown a ten-l
dency to sloop.

Washington is not b wicked place,
concludes the Post. The people are
friendly, amiable, and about as honest

as men go. Not more than a tenth of

them are sitting up nights devising
schemes to gain the confidence of Con-
gressmen, and scarcely that many have
wicked. and injurious designs upon the
new member’s dignity or peace of mind.
If the latter will only let himself down
for a few days and take us on trial, as
it were, he will find that we compare
reasonably Well with the unterrified and
incorruptible voters of Jayville or Pos-
sum Fork, and we are as little likely as
they to touch with irreverent finger the
toga of the lawgiver.
Mr. Fahey’s Goat. .

John R Fahey. fat, jolly and weigh-
ing something over 20'.) pound; caused
quite a ripple of excitement on Harbor
avenue, Saturday afternoon. The
night before he had won a goat, harness
and cart. He hitched the goat up
Saturday afternoon. got into the cart
and told the goat to go on. The ani-
mal pulled and tugged away unable to
move its heavy load of human flesh.
blood and bones. John gave the goat
a touch with the whip carving it to
wheel around upsetting the cart and
dumpingr poor John out into the street.
Not in the least discouraged by his first
attempt John righted the cart, and got
in again. A friend grabbed the goat
by the horns, another gave John a push
and the turnout went down the avenue
at a break-neck speed. Unable t)
guide the goat and at the same time
retain his seat John let the animal go
atits own will withthe result that the cart
collided with a telegraph pole and the
goat was thrown about ten feet into the
air and landed head-first on John’s
stomach. With ' some difficulty the
goat, harness, John and the cart were
disentangled. The goat camplaceutly
walked across the street and commenc-
ed chewing the label from a deserted
tomato can. John in the meantime
having regained his feet, gave a lad
ten cents to take the turnout back to
the stable and with a downcast look
limped home and went to bed. He has
lost considerable of his former faitu in
goats, and any one in want of a goat
will find it to their advantage to nego-
tiate with Mr. Fahey at the present
time.

Still Buried.

Thousands of persons yesterday vis-
ited the scene of the disaster at the Tilly
Foster mines near Brewsters.
work of recovering those of the dead
miners not yet taken out has been SU-u'
pended by order of the inspectors.
Owing to (the unsafe condition of the
side walls and overhanging rocks in the
mine, the inspectors have refused to al-
low rescuers to go down until the dan-
gerous portions have been blasted away
and descent is rendered absolutely safe.
There are still three of the bodies un-
recovered.

Saturday, and is now at the bedside of
'her sister, Mrs. Frank Smith, who un-
derwent a serious surgical operation at
a hospital in that city, and from which
it is feared that she cannot recover. It
will be remembered “ that ”as Maggie

in this city some two years ago. She
has many friends here who will be
pained to hear of her sickness;

Bishop Tierney an Editor.

It is stated that a large interest in the
Connecticut Catholic has been pur-
chased by Bishop Tierney. , This has
been done in order that he might have
an opportunity to impress his views
on the clergy and laity throughout the
state without doing so through official
ldocuments. Bishop Tierney will take
charge of the editorial work and will be
assisted by three other clergymen. The
Catholic has been owned of late years
by Michael F. Scanlon. There will be
no change at present in the staff. 1

The DanburyGrowler Gang ASSdUlt

Officer Sullivan.

 

He Will Probably Die.

The notorious Danbury “growier”
gang broke out again last night and as-
saulted Police Officer Florence B. Sul-
livan so brutally that he will probably
die. There are a dozen or more in the
gang, all of them very tough, and they
completely terrorize their neighbor-
hood. One or more of them are con-
stantly in jail. The frequent arrests
seem to have no effect on the gang.

The more times they are sent up the

proudcr they are, for the sold ambition
of one and all is to be as tough as possi-
ble.

The assault last evening occurred at
about 11 o’clock. Officer Sullivan was
standing on South avenue talking with
Daniel McNamara, asaloonkeeper. His
attention was attracted by a disturbance
quite a ways down the street and he
started to investigate.

When opposite an old barn, used by
the “growler” gang as a rendeZVous he
found five tough young men drinking
out of a jug. They were making con--
'siderabcl racket and the officer told
them to move on. His request was
greeted with cries of derision. There-
upou he arrested “Shad” Kyle and
started for the station house. Searccly
had lie-moved away before the four re-
maining ones pounced upon him They
punched him,' kicked him, pounded
him over the head with the jug and
otherwise maltreated him. Finally he
was knocked insensible and then the
gangfled.

When the officer was picked up and
examinedit was found that his skull
was fractured in two places, deep holes
were gouged into his head withthe jug
and he is severely- injured internally.
Hiscondition is very serious and he is
not expected to live, It required 26
stitches to close the cuts inflicted; the
back of the head is poucled to a pulp;
his face is battered so as to be almost
unrecognizible; the nose is broken and
a finger was smashed. It is barely
possible that the man may recover.

This is the first serious affair of the
gang in some years. About four years
ago Officer Bradley was compelled to
sho;t down twoof the gang in self
defense.

Their Sunday Out.

Daniel Hanlcn and some friends
were out yesterday afternoon, all more
or less under the influence of intoxi-
cants. Going down Water street and
when in front of Fioch’s Saloon, it is
alleged that Hanlo'i picked up an
empty beer keg, and as is farther alleg-
ed a friend jostled up against him and
the keg struck the sash and dashed out
two large panes of glass. ’

The party then had a squabble in
which a man named McCarthy fell fol-
lowed by Hanlon, but neither were
injured.

They then proceeded to Wall street
and in front of Addison Brown’s store
one of the party was pushed or fell
through a large pane of glass.

Soon after, Officer Morehouse ap-
peared on the scene and sent Hanlon
home. Why the officer did not place
the whole party under arrest has not
yet been explained.

This morning, Chief Bradley armed
with a warrant, went to Banlon’s home,
and found him in bed. He served the
warrant and on Hanlon’s promise to
come down in a short time he left him.

Betore Judge Hubbell, Hanlon
pleaded guilty and was fined $25 which
he paid, and was discharged.

The Cotton King.

“The Cotton King” comes to Hoyt’s
Theatre to-night and judging by the al-
ready large sale of tickets those who
want good seats, for the performance-
must make early application to the box
office. “The Cotton King” is consider-
ed Suttpn Vane’s best work and is cer-
tainly the most notable production of
that master producer of dramas. "The
story of “The Cotton King” is made
up of chapters taken from the lives of
natural characters, typical of the class—
es the represent heroic, romantic,
pathetic and humorous. There is an
abundance of fun in the play and many
chances for‘hearty laughs at the comi—
cal situations and lively repartee.

 

 

Waterbury Parish Divided.

It was announced in the Waterbury
Roman Catholic churches yesterday,

Curtin 01 New Milford as pastor. The
bishop has not named the successor of
the late Father Duggan of St. Patrick’s
parish. The parish is under the charge
of the Rev. W. J. Slocum, pastor of the
church of the Immaculate Conception.

unable to go out on the street even after
I had started. It I went 11 one flight of
stairs I felt as though I s ould fall. I
had palpitation of the heart and suffered
greatly with catarrh of the head and
throat. I final] decided to try Hood’s
Bursa rilla, an soon felt better. Insed
the t ird bottle and I then felt like
a different person. I hope others in ill
health will do as I did. It on take
Hood’s Sarsaparllla and use it aithfully
I am sure you will be benefited. I_have

also found Hood’s Pills to be of great
benefit and I highly recommend them.”
