LYMAN WTNS EASY.

The Litchfield County Candi-

date Nominated for . .
Congress.

- John J. Walsh, of Norwalk, Was Chairman

of the Convention.

The Democratic congressional bon-
vention for the Fourth district named
Charles P. Lyman, of 'Washington, as
the candidate for Congress, at Dan-
bury, on Tuesday. There were 126 dele-
gates present, and it was'nearly 12
o’clock when Isaac N. Bartram. of
Sharon, rapped for order. The Con-
gressional committee recommended
the selection of Attorney John J.
Walsh, of~Norwalk, as chairman and
James L. McGovern, of Bridgeport, as
secretary. .

Two contesting delegations appeared
from Stamford and the committee on
credentials had a fight on their hands
at the beginning. Homer S. Cummings
headed one delegation, Who favored
Mayor Bohannan, and the other fac-
tion was led.by J. H. Swartwout and
favored Mr. Lyman. Both delegations
claimed regularity. The committee on
credentials finally decided in favor of
the Bohannan delegates.‘ The conven-
tion could not see it that way, and the
trouble was finally adjusted by giving

each delegate of both factions half a

vote.

Then the committee" on resolutions
reported as follows: .

RESOLVED. That the Democrats of
the Fourth Congressional district in
convention assembled, hereby ratify and
aflirm the time honored principles of
Democracy a§ laid down in the plat-
form adopted by the Democratic state
Convention held at Bridgepor t, Sept. 21,

, 1898.

RESOLVED. That we most heartily
endorse all of the candidates nominated
by said convention and 1ecommend
them to the sufirages of the electors of
this district with the utmost assu1ance
that their election to office will mean
a clean, economic government for the
commonwealth; be it further

RESOLVED. That We urge upon the
electors of this district the necessity of
having a representative in the Nation-
al House of Representatives who rep-
resents all of the people of the district
rather than the tool of any political
machine or favored few.

Coroner Doten Completes His Inquest in

J the Poisoning Case.

Coroner Charles A. Doten yesterday
completed his inquest on the death of
three-year-old Louis Ciglar who died
at his parents’ home, corner of Spruce
street and Hancock avenue, Bridge-
port, Friday evening. He found strong
circumstantial evidence against the
accused woman, Lizzie Renko, the do-
mestic. His finding warrants the re-
tention of the. prisoner for trial and
she will probably be arraigned in the
police court to-day, on the charge of
murder. '

The last witness examined before the
inquest closed was Rose Ciglar, aged
14, an aunt of the dead child. She tes-
tified regarding the condition of the
child when first found. Knowing that
the little baby Was sick she went for
some blackberry brandy and while at-
tending to her nephew she notlced that
the servant girl acted very singular
and her coilntenance bore a frightened
expression. This closed the hearing
and the coroner reserved his decision
until an examination of the evidence
which Was taken down by a. stenog;
rapher. This was completed, last
evening, the decision was announced
as above. .

Lamp Upset ln Dr. Beans
West Avenue Residence.

Thrown Into the Yard Before Any Damage
Was Done.

An alarm of fire was sent in from box
14 at South Norwalk yesterday after-
noon.

It was a needless one, but it was
promptly responded to by the South
Norwalk fire department.

The scene of the fire was at the resi-
dence of Dr. Bean on West avenue.

Plumbers in the employ of Nash &
VanScoy were at work in the basement
of the house when a lamp in some way
was overturned from a box On which it
rested.

Before the flames had a chance to
communicate with any combustibles
the lamp was thrown out into the yard
and the fire extinguished.

The damage done was nominal, thanks
to the promtness of the plumbers.

Norwalk hospital yesterday, sufiering
from an ugly cut on his leg, caused by
