pZeMent, (which goes with the WEEKLY.) we
give New York retail market reports, Sunday-
school lessons, sermon and other Sunday read-
ing. We make these detailed explanations for
the reason that many of our patrons do not
seem to understand the DAILY and WEEKLY

fully understood and appreciated. we are con-
fident,as this “combine” becomes better un-
derstood. Price of DAILY, from Monday to
Friday inclusive, one cent. Price of WEEKLY

INORWALK, CONN., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1891.
For youthfulvim in old age Benja-
min Capen, of Eastport, Me., certainly
stands without a peer. In his seventy-
seventh year, he is able to out-skate
any man, young or old, in the town.
Every afternoon and evening he can be
seen on the ice, and the American ea-
gle he cuts on the glassy surface is
done in thirty Seconds and is perfect in
outline. He beats Ex-Vice-President
Hamlin in the matter of agility.
The Lelands are a race of hotel-keep-
ers, and every member of the family
has been at some time or other a boni-
face. They own hotels from Long
Branch to Portland, Ore. It was in
1844 that Warren Leland, Sr., whom
the other members of the family now
call "Uncle Warren,” opened his first
hotel—the Clinton House in New York.
He afterwards built the Palace Hotel
in San Francisco for Balston and Shar-
on.
Vice—President Morton talks as
though he would rather carry the bed
at a dollar a day for a living, than pre-
sideover the Senate for the salary at-
tached to the~'oflice. He is reported to
be growing nervous and-irritable and
as carrying an I-want-to-go -home look
in his sad eyes._______

A convivial party convened at the
house of our Sportive steamboat col-
lector, Burr Smith last night. We ex—
pected it, for early in the afternoon he
was seen in company with Capt. Rose
with a bright, new quarter in his hand,
hurrying towards some convenient
place where they sold segars and where
social irrigation was a feature. Capt.
Rose has not been heard from since this
skirmish, but Capt. Smith, though in-
visible for a short period, is accounted
for, in the above report.

twenty-eight harpists accompanying
the greatest living harpist, a Welsh-

a trifle hypercritical. As for us, the
way she uses her pretty hands, and her
charming, cordial manner, convince us
that she is a great performer, though
we do not believe her Greek dress was
strictly Greek, by the way.

MORE MA LICIOUSNIvjsv.
About half past ten o’clock last night
some diabolical and maliciously inclin-
ed person threw a large piece of iron
through the ofiice window of Arnold’s
foundry. The watchman hadjust been
making his rounds through the found-
ry and was just about entering the of-
fice when he heard the crash, and run—
ning to the spot saw the figure of the
guilty person retreating in the dark-
ness, at whom the watchman fined but
unfortunately missed. The piece of
iron was a quarter'of a “pig,” weighing
about twenty-five pounds. The person
suspected is a workman in the foundry,
and it is impossible to define what
grievance he can have, to have prompt-
ed him to perpetrate such a malicious
act. The firm has been subject to quite
anumber of dastardly attempts to cle-
stroy its property, and it is high time
this sort of thing was stopped. Can-
not some step be taken by our board of
trade or borough authorities by effer-
ing a reward, whichsvould be an incen—
tive towards the detection of the mis-
creants?

LEGISLATIVE.
Hartford, Feb. 13.—The legislature
having agreed not to agree,after a time-
annihilating contest of six weeks, in
which it has done nothing else, the
principal question that new arises in
the public mind is not who is Governor
—but will any business ever be done?
Ths refusal of the Senate, heretofore,
to do any business until the state offi-
cers are determined, seems to indicate
that notning can be done. The plan of
the House is, however, to raise its own
committees and transact businesswhich
it will send to the Senate. In the upper
branch it may be received in two ways,
either by tabling or indefinite post-
ponement.
Both houses finally adjourned until
Tuesday next.
New Milford, ' Feb. 13.—Nicholas
Staub, the democratic candidate for
comptroller, was seen at his home here
this noon and asked what action he in—
tended taking to assume the comptroll-
ership. He said: I am satisfied that
Gov. Bulkeley acted “without authority
or right yesterday when he refused me
possession of the ofiice. I'think it is
an outrage, and assure the people of
Connecticut that I will take every law-
ful and honorable step to get the office.
After the House had declared me elect-
ed I anticipated no trouble, thinking it
did not lie in the power of Bulkeley to
prevent me taking office at once.
My counsel, Lawyer Hammersley, as
sures me that the position taken by
Bulkeley was unlawful, and that it
would prove to be such in due time.
Mr. Hammersley says there is no doubt
that the action of the House yesterday
throws the question of the comptroller—
ship beyond the power of Bulkeley and
the legislature, and that now- it is a
matter between myself and Mr. Wright.
What steps we will take I do not care
to state at present, but the people of
this state can rest assured that I will
take that office if there is a law on the
statutes of Connecticut to warrant it.”
Bolton, Mass. eb. 14. —The family
of Percy Phinney of this city are in-

Phinney was found dead in a lodging
house at Oakland, Cal., a few days ago.
Bottles containing strychnine and Ian-
danum were found beside him, and it was
announced as a case of suicide. Phin-
ney resigned in Bolton, Mass. until
three years ago when he went west.
The body will be buried in San Fran-

effort to learn the real cause of his
death.

Newport, Feb. 13, 1 :30 p. m.—The
death of Admiral Porter was so sudden
