BOHANNAN INAUGURATED. '
Stamford’s Silver Democratic Mayor
Causes a Sensation.
The inauguration of William J. B.
Bohannan, Stamford’s first democratic
mayor, took place last night. The new
common council of five republicans and
,‘four democrats held its first meeting.
A sensation was caused when the mayor
vetoed the election of Judge N. 0.
Downs as corporation counsel. In a
letter giving his reastms for his action
the mayor said that Judge Downs al-
ready held four oflices and he believed
that they would conflict with his duties
as corporation counsel and that the
holding of so many offices was con-
trary to democratic principles. Judge
Downs is chairman of the republican
city and town committees.
A CHURCH BUILT IN A DAY.
The quick Erection of the Building Du!
to a Series of Revival Meetings.
A church with a seating capacity. 01
3,000 persons, heated by three furnaces
and lighted with electric lamps, was
built between daylight and midnighi
Saturday, at Ravenswood, and was
dedicated at 10:45 o’clock Sunday
morning. ‘
The con-tract for the church was
closed at midnight Friday. The first
lumber was hauled to the site at
3 o‘clock Friday afternoon, and men
began stringing electric light wires
from a plant two miles away. At 5
o’clock Saturday morning ten men
were put to work, and as fast as ma-
terial enough arrived the number, of
workmen was increased till there were
nearly 200 men engaged on the struo
ture. At 5 o’clock Saturday night the
walls of the building had been covered
over for the church women of Ravens-
wood to begin decorating with flags
and bunting.
The nearest electric lighting plant is
two miles away from Ravenswood. It
was neCessai-y to string electric wires
all the distance to keep the contract.
The linemen started to string wires at
the same time that the first load of
lumber was dumped on the ground.
A few workmen were busy for an
hour and a half on Friday afternoon,
preparing the ground for the building,
and. with that exception, the work was
all done Saturday. Over 50,000 feet
of lumber was hauled to the site, and
was used almost as fast as it was un-
loaded.
The cause of this rapid work was
owing to a series of revival meetings
held in Ilavenswood and no church
large enough to hold the crowds—Chiv

Burnstorming‘. ,
"The finest piece of histrionic
work I ever did,” remarked a well
known actor, who stipulated that his
name was not to be published, "(at the
Union Square Theatre,"‘wns in San
Francisco several yearS'ago.‘ I went
through a'siege of barnstormi-iig ex-
periences before I got where I could
rest assured of good engagements.
One of the companies on whose pay
roll I appeared as drawing $25 a
week, nearly all of which is still ow-
l-ng to we, wont to pieces in San
Francisco. The angel of the company
succeeded in getting us $10 apiece,
with which to reach New York, and I
laid awake planning how to get as far
(1:: Chicago with that amount of cash.
I bought rr cheap sample case, marked
the name ‘John Duncan, No. 113 War-
ren avenue, Chicago,’ on it, had- a. few
cards with the name and address on

to have me ship-pod home, if he re
ceivcd anymteiegram, bought a ticket
to Sacremefito, went into the sleeper,
got acqim‘inted with the portgr. told
him if I got very sick before reaching
Sacramento to have the conductor,
wire this friend, and then proceeded
to get sick. By the time the conduc-
tor came through I was dying.
"I heard the porter tell the con—
ductor about the telegram, then two
doctors in‘ the train came and began
to work with me. They said I could
live but a few hours at most, and that
it would require constant applications
of whiskey to keep me alive until we
reached Sacramento. There i must
have been enough Whiskey on that
train to stock a saloon. At Sacra-
mento the telegnam of my friend was
received, and I heard the conductor
ask the doctor if I could last until we
reached Chicago. He said I. could not,
but he was going through and would
take care of me until I died, and of my
body until we reached Chicago. I
took a dying spell at Ogden and an-
other -at Omaha, where we changed
conductors, revived considerably

but he drove away without saying
anything, and I hurried downetown,
where I figured up and found that I

cago, consumed about $10 worth of
good liquor, and lhad $2 left out of a

WANTS Ill RETREN-GH
Chairman Frisbie Sug-
gests That'the Annual
Encampment of the'
C. N. G. be Sus~
pended This
Year.
A Movement on Foot to Induce the Legisla-
ture to Withheld Appropriation.
There is aZmovement on foot to in-
duce the Legislature to refuse the usual
appropriation for the state encampment
of the C. N. G. at Niantic this year.
Tue first intimation that the adjutant
general’s ofi‘ice had of it was when Rep-
resentative Frisbie of Farmington, the
House chairman of the committee
on appropriations, asked Col. Landers,
the "assistant adjutant general, if the
enoau pment could not be skipped.
“How much does the encampment
cost?” asked Mr. Frisbie.
“About 835,000.” replied Col. Lan-
ders.
“Why couldn’t the.encampment lie
skipped for this year?” was Mr. Fris—
bie’s next question, and its form sug—
gested that Mr. Frisbie hoped for an
affirmative reply.
Col. Landers did not make a reply
for a moment.
"All the regiments in New York state
don’t have an encampment every year,”
remarked Mr. Frisbie.
“I hope you will not compare the
Connecticut National Guard with the
New York state militia. Except in the
case of a few crack regiments the New
York militia cannot be compared with
the Connecticut National Guard in
efficiency,” replied Col. Landers.
Mr. Frisbie again urged that the en-
campment for this year could be sus-
pended in view of the condition of the
state’s finances.
Col. Landers reminded Mr. Frisbie
that every year 33 1-3 per cent. of the
charged and that their rificiency as
soldiers r‘quired the annual encamp-
ment.
There is no doubt that Col. Landers
gave Mr. Frisbie information which
presented the matter in a new light to
the chairman of the committee on ap-
propriations.
The adjutant general is withholding
his decision in regard to the date for
the holding of the encampment until
he learns the final decision of the com-
mittee on appropriations and the ac-
tion of the Legislature. ’ ‘7'
