“FLAG DAY”_SUGGESTED.
The Idea Comes from Chairman Mark A-
Hanna.
Chairman Hann'a, of the Republican
National Committee, suggests that on
Saturday, Oct. 31, all who intend to
vote on Nov. 3 for the preservation of
our national honor, for sound money
and the advancement of our people’s
interests and general prosperity, dis-
play the national colors at their homes
or their places of business.
It is further suggested at the head-
quarters of the Republican National
Committee that State, county and city
committees and clubs encourage the
display of the national flag on the last
Saturday in the campaign in every part
of the country, especially on resi-
dences.

Fire at Lewisboro.
Three barns On what is known as the
. Aaron Wakeman farm, now owned by
Mrs. George Miller, at Lewisboro. were
destroyed by fire last night. The fire
was first discovered between 7 and 8
o’clock. Neighbors quickly gathered
at the scene and succeeded in saving
several head of cattle and the horses,
poultry, farming utensils, carriages,
etc. The house was threatened with
destruction but the wind suddenly
veered in another direction, and with
the aid of buckets of water the sparks
that fell on the roof were drowned out.
The residence of Wilson Raymond was
also threatened but was saved by an
active bucket brigade. The barns and
a large quantity of hay and straw were
destroyed. The loss is partially cov-
ered by insurance. Rev. Charles M.
Selleck of this city was making a clerical
Call at the Miller place at the time of
the fire and did valiant service in help-
ing to save property.

Dead Body Found. . q .
At noon yesterday as some men were
walking along the bank of the canal in
Stamford, a small inlet from the Sound,
they espied the body of a man standing
erect in the mud, which rose almost to
the tops of :the shoulders. The body
was soon identified as that of Thomas
Enright, aged thirty-five.
unmarried man who had no particular
business, but did odd'jobs about town.
Coroner Doten of Bridgeport was
notified. Above-the man’s right eye
there was a large gash, which aroused
some suspicion of :foul play, but the
upright position of the body seemed to
indicate that the man, who was some-
what addictedito drink, had walked off
the dock.
Gold and Silver Candidates.
The Democra tic Probate convention
which was held on Saturday in Bridge-
port, was the wildest and most uproar-

semblage did surprisingly well, for at
the close of the session, there were no
less than two candidates, each of whom
declared that he was the only legally
found who could deny conclusively the,
claim of either. They were Judge Ali
bert M. Tallmadge, the present in-
cumbeut, and Attorney Thomas Cul-
lihan. .
Two sets of resolutions were passed, .
one set by the silver men and the other
by the gold men. --'
