can State Central Committees through-
out the country.
“You will please direct country chair-
men in your State to make a special ef-
fort for the celebration of Flag Day,
Saturday, October 31, by calling upon
allRepublicans to assemble in the cities,
villiages and hamlets nearest their
_. homes and show their patriotism, de-
/ votion to country and the flag, and
f their intention to support the party
which" stands for protection, sound
money and good government, by hav-
ing patriotic speeches and such other
exercises as will be appropriate for the
occasion, and tend to make the day a
general holiday as far as possible.
“It is to be hoped that Republicans
everywhere will unite to dedicate the
day to this patriotic service.”
The Norwalk Republican Club par-
ticllarly requests all citizens of Nor-
walk to unfurl Old Glory to their utmost
ability at their residences, places of
business, from flag staffs and mast
heads, and wherever our Natlonal flag
may be made to kiss God’s sunshine
and Heaven’s2breezes,—~an emblem of
our Nation’s honor, glory and prowess.

case of Adam Schemp and wife vs.- -

“Oh, about the size of a Bryon silver

The answer was so unexpected that
Judge Curtis bowed his bend and the
clock stopped. The examination was
continued by Attorney Mann’s associ-
ate, Attorney King.
Mr. Schemp and his wife were thrown
out of their carriage in Brooklawn ave-
nue last August by a collision with a

Ladies Attend a Caucus.
Says the Stamford Advocate: “Last
night’s Republican caucus enjoyed the
unique distinction of being the first
one held in this town which was graced
by the presence of a large number of
ladies, the caucus being held before a
maSS meeting. Most of the ladies were
in the balcony, but many occupied seats
on the main floor of the hall, and all
were interested spectators.”
The Hon. Michael Kenealy and Dr.
Charles E. Rowell were nominated for
representatives. The name or" the for-
mer was presented by Commodore
Smith and the latter by Captain J. A.
Fessenden.
CO.
Sterling—Whitlock.
Thomas J. Sterling and Miss Mamie
Whitlock,were marriedyesterday after-
noon at 5 o’clock by Rev. A. H. Wyatt.
The ceremony took place at the home
of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.
F. Whitlock on Union avenue. Miss
Annie Whitlock a sister of the bride
' was maid of honor and Edgar Kenny
acted as best man. Only the relatives
and immediate friends of the coupfo
2‘ were preacnt. Mr. and Mrs. Sterling
received many elegant and useful
presents.
A Correction.
In the case of Charles H. Wolfe of
this city, who was granted a divorce in
the Superior Court yesterday, it was an
error to say his wife was in the habit of
throwing dishpans at him. She always
threw plates and things more expensive
than dishpans.——Bridgeport Standard.

ALCOHOL IN THE ARTS.
Special Select Committee to Draft a New
Law—0f Interest to Hatters.
The joint select committee, created
at the last session of Congress to-in-
vestigate and report upon the question
of the use of alcohol free of tax in the
manufactures and arts, has prepared a
series of interogatories which will be
distributed throughout the country to
such parties as are thought to be inter-
ested in the question. It is the earnest
desire of the committee» to secure all
possible information bearing upon the
subject.
The committee, which is composed of
three members of each house, will prob-
ably assemble in Washington soon after
the middle of November to formulate a
report to Congress, accompanied by the
draft of a law which will place domestic
industries on as favorable a basis as
similar industries in foreign countries.
During their sessions in Washington
hearings will probably be given in
order to supplement the information
obtained through the inter-ogatories
sent by mail.
Recent Deaths.
Samuel Campbell, an English sur-
veyor, died at the residence of his sis-
ter in New Haven, yesterday. Mr.
Campbell went to New Haven three
weeks ago from the South where he had
acted for an English syndicate in an
important railroad deal. 'He leaves a
widow in England and one son, Edwin,
in New Haven. '
Edward Terpay, a well known singer,
died on Tuesday night at his mother’s
home in New Haven. Some years ago
he sang in one of the city churches,
and later travelled with the Wilbur
Opera Company for a season. He af-
terward belonged to the Boston Ideals
and the EmmaAbbott and Duff opera
companies. For the past year. he had
been a member of the Casino Opera
Company, of San Francisco. He was
forty years old.
Honesty.
Mr. Baldwin at the Opera Heuse,
stated that you could take $36,000 and
buy $100,000 worth of government
bonds and establish a National Bank.
He knew that statement was untrue of
to-day, and when called upon to explain
after the meeting, said he referred to
the time when gold was at a very high
premium, and bonds were not. He no
doubt designedly, left the impression,
however, with every man who heard
him, that that Was the condition of af-
fairs to-day. He knew that such an im-
pression would be drawn. Had he been
sincere he would not have resorted to
deceit to influence the minds of voters.
When it is necessary to- support a cause
by deceit, voters should reject it.
Be wise and vote for McKinley and
honest money.
o
Tried Murder, then Suicide.
Louis Kempner, who shot and prob-
ably fatally injured Maurice Ambasky
or Valenski, as he is also known, was
found not far from where the shooting
occurred at Lebanon. He was dead,
having apparently committed suicide
by shooting himself with the same re-
volver he had used on Ambasky. The
body has not been removed, nor had
the medical examiner or coroner been
notified. These officials will probably
make an examination. Kempner has
been paying attention to Valenski’s wife
with whom he had become infatuated.
Valeuski is about 30 years old and has
two children. Kempner was about 20
years old.

Will Not Vote this Election.
Chief Bradley placed a man who gave
his name as Daniel Flannagau, under
arrest yesterday afternoon. Daniel
was somewhat under the influence of
intoxicauts. This morning he was
fined $3 and costs, in default of which
he was taken to jail. He is the same
individual who attracted a crowd at
South Norwalk in a pautomimic politi-
cal argument, and was taken under the
protecting arm of Officer Gladstone,and
later, it is alleged, let him go, as he was
seemingly demented. The fellow
claimed that be was on the way to
Springfield.

BULLET AND BRICK.
Murderous Rowdies Attack a
Parade at Fair Haven. '
Two Men Seriously Wounded.
A bullet was fired-at the Republican
parade in Fair Haven last night, and a
brick was thrown. The bullet struck a
parader in the right arm near the
elbow. The wounned man is a mem-
ber of the Young Men’s Republican
club. As soon as the shot :was fired
the parader’s arm dropped limp and he
exclaimed:
“I’m hit!”
part of the forearm. The man’s hand
was streaked with blood before he could
roll up his sleeve.
The same time the shot was fired
somebody threw a brick. It struck
Edward L. Atwater in the head knock-
ing him senseless out of the ranks of
Col. Lee’s Gold legion. Atwater was
marching. The brick knocked him
flat, and blood streamed from:his head.
The shot was fired and the brick was
throwu near the abutments of the Old
Shore Line bridge, that is, close to the
Grand avenue bridge.
The legion, leaving a few comrades
to care for the two wounded men, put
after the fellows that had fired the
shot and thown the brick. Col. Lee’s
men chased the two and a crowd that
fled with the fellows. The chase was
kept up across a broad lotjand until the
fellows had got out of sight
The legion then returned to the
wounded men. Atwater and the man
with the bullet in his arm‘ were taken
to a drug store where it was found that
the bullet had made only a flesh wound.
After dressing the wound the druggist
turned his attention to Atwater and
cut away his hair which was matted
with blood. Then he dressed the cut.
Atwater was taken home in a hack.
There is no clue to the perpetrators
of the two outrages, but the police are
working to trace out the criminals.
If the bullet had gone an inch either
to the right or to the left of the par-
body and mortally wounded him. In
fact, the shooting was within an inch of
murder.
The Republicans have notified the
police that the perpetrators must be
discovered. Mr. Atwater is an ex-
councilman, and is one of the promi-
nent workers in the Republican party.
The outrageous conduct of the roughs
who are responsible for this crime is
condemned by the political leaders in
both parties. It is the first instance in
the campaign in New Haven that such
desperate work has been indulged in.

Q
A LEVEL HEADED WIFE.
She Advised Her Insulted Husband How
_ to Act.
There is a man who has a wife of the
best type, but like a good many hus-
bands withithat kind of wives he doesn’t
appreciate her at her true value. Well,
this husband had been insulted; he had
thought of resorting to violent meas.
urea in defense of his sacred honor.
All day the insult rankled in his bosom,
and when the shades of evening had
come he wended his way homeward,
and as he neared his home, think-
ing every second of what he would,
could or must do, he happened
to think of his loving wife, with this
new thought he hastened into her
presence and kissed her. This unusual
demonstration surprised the good we-
man, just like a man, when they get in-
to trouble they then turn to their wife.
"Why, Henry,” she exclaimed, “you
seem strangely excited.” “I am, I
have been insulted by a scoundrel who
came into my office this morning.
What would you do if a man were to
tell you to go to the Devil?” .She re-
plied, after the impulsive manner of
woman and withthe utmost Sincerity,
"I wouldn’t go, but instead would go
