THE SENATE MEETS And Adjourns Until December 7. The Senate met at 2.30 Tuesday, and according to an agreement reached in the caucus of Democratic members, was adjourned until Monday, Decem- 7. Senator Shumwsy wanted to adopt a resolution, asking the Supreme Court for its advice. but his proposi- tion was not entertained. Charles G. Boot, chairman of the Democratic caucus,issued the following call to Democratic members: To the Democratic Members of the House of Representatives : Whereas. the state oflicers. except the comp- troller. whose official terms have long since expired. continue to hold the offices oftrust which belong to the Democratic candidates who were elected in 1890, It becomgs our duty to use all reasonable and props. means to secure the removal of the old otficmls and the installation of those recently elected. There is no doubt that a majority of the house be- lieved (and we think (plainly expressed their belief in the procee lugs of the Houselast winter) that justice demanded the recognition throughout the state of the claims made by us at that time. but other counsel prevailed and justice was not done. It Is now too_ late to do justice to the dead. but It Is believe-:1 that, with a proper presentation of their claims, the livmg state ofhcers may secure recognition. As a means to this end It Is pro- - posed that we assemble at 12 o’clock. noon, at the Supreme court room, capital building. on November 11. 1891.to discuss the situation and, if possible,adopt an appropriate line of action. The presence and co-opera 1 .1 of every Demo- crat are necessary to ol:t-,.1n what We are striving for. and that is justice. pure and sun- ple. nothing more. Do not fail to be present. ‘ CHARLES Gr. lloor, Chairman Democratic Caucus. One explanation given of the Senates precipitate action in adjourning before the House convened, was a fear that the House might pass a joint resolu- tion pledging itSelf, to in good faith, comply and adhere to whatever de- cision might be reached by the courts and thus corner the Senate into an adoption or rejection of this proposi- tion. It being freely charged that the recalcitrant. Senators intend to insist upon the Republicans promptly seat- ing their candidates, in the event the Court decides in their favor, but that they do not propose to be bound by the court's decision should it be to the effect that they were not duly elected. In an interview with Senator Seymour Tuesday evening, on this point, he ad- mitted that should a decision of three to two. or anything akin to that occur, he had no doubt that his Democratic colleagues in the Senate, would refuse to be governed by it. SO that the humiliated state of Con- necticut must wait till the quo warran to is decided by its Supreme Court, and the majority of the Senate determine whether they will abide by it or not. To the non-partisan outsider it looks very much as if it was to be a game of “heads I win and tails you lose.” But December 7 will soon cycle around and then “we shall see what we shall see. ” The House Adjourns. The Connecticut House of Repre~ sentatives met at 1 p.m.Wednesday,an;l after a session of twenty minutes, ad- journed to January 6, at one p. 111. Speaker Paige had no sooner called the House to order than Representative Greene of Norwich made a motion to adjourn until January 6, as had been pre-arranged at the caucus held a short time before the House re-convened. This motion brought Representative Walker (dem) of Waterbury to his feet in opposition, he being of the opinion that a long adjournment was uncalled for. Messrs. Walker (dem.) of Hart- ford, Callahan (dem.) of New Haven, also favored a short adjournment until to-morrow, but the question was called for, and on an eye and nay vote re- sulted in the passage of the motion to adjourn until January by a. vote of 129 to 106. The only exciting issue of the day was when Mr. Buckley (rep.) of Fair- field refused to vote with the republi~ cans and cast his ballot with the demo- cratic side of the House, saying that he considered all the democratic ofiicers except Morris, fairly elected. Mr. Buckley's withdrawal from the republican ranks brought forth loud applause from the democrats present. The fact that the House adjourned instead of again taking a recess, and thus finishing the second day of the session, caused considerable surprise on the part of the democrats, who deem it a republicau'trick to cheat them out of the governor no matter what the courts may decide. They consider that by taking an adjournment they thus close the second day, which, under the constitution, is the day on which the General Assembly must declare the state officers as elected, or lose the chance of doing so. Representative J udscn (re p.) of Strat- ford says, however. that the adjourn- ment makes no difference in this re- spect, as the wording of this artlcle of the constitution is not mandatory, but directory, and they may declare the officers properly elected, even if not on the second day of the session. —~———————————<+ Destroyed by Fire. The old passenger shed at the side of the east—bound track at Larchmont caught fire Saturday because of a. de- “ fective fine, and the building, together with 100 feet of thelong shed adjoining, was consumed. The loss is not more than $530”. When the new stone station was built at Larchmont. the old wooden structure was moved over to the east- bound side and served for the accom- modation of persons taking east-bound trains. The new building was not dam- aged the fire. The heat was intense and trains were taken by the burning building at full speed. ___.___...__4+'.....__._. N...” Walnut Lea! Hair Restorer.

The wedding took place on the stage, which was eIegantly set with Japanese articles of all descriptions, and with the handsome costumes, presented a beautiful sight. The bride was Miss Alice Mallory and the groom Mr. Fred. S. Lockwood. Mrs. Van Buren and Mr.. T. S. Morison were the groom’s par- ents, and Miss Gregory and Dr. Geo. Baxter the bride’s The bridesmaids were Mrs. Fred. Quintand. Mrs. Geo. R. Byington, Mrs. Horace Hubbell and the Misses Millard, Cram and Sher- wood, while Miss Mabel 'Miller per- formed the services of Go-between in a very charming manner. Mrs. Bissell’s reci-tations came in as a welcome and pleasing variation to the‘ pantomime, and the short and pithy announcements of Dr. Many brought down the house in uproarious applause. The Jerome May Banjo Club greatly delighted everyone with its exquisite music. .0 Wind—up of the Fair. The Grace Church ladies have abund- ant reason to be gratified with the con- spicuous success of their Japanese Fete. Last night’s exercises were varied 'and exceedingly interesting throughout. The music by the Mayo Banjo Club was worth more than the full price of admission. The slight-of—hand per- formance, last evening,was exceedingly clever, and delighted all. The humor- ous recitations and solo singing first. class, and all in all, the exhibition. as a mere matter of entertainment, was su- perior to anything of the kind yet at- tempted in Norwalk. The booths Were. reasonably well patronized, and the au- diences both evenings were large, de- spite the storm, and although the ex- penses must nesessarily have been large, it is hoped that from three to five hundred dollars may be netted in aid of the Church fund. The large picture of Grace Church. taken and contributed by Mr. Hubert Bishop, was purchased and presented to Mrs. Van Buren, as an expression of gratitude for her zealous efforts in aid of the fete. As a specimen of ama- teur skill the picture is exceptionally meritorious. -. : A Famous Lock-picker Dead. Alfred C. Hobbs, of Bridgeport, form- erly general manager of the Union Me- tallic Cartridge Company, died early last Friday morning of exhaustion, the result of a brain affection. Mr. Hobbs had a national reputation on account of his wonderful lock-picking perform- ances. In 1851 he went to London to attend the World’s Fair and it was at this time that he picked the famous Chubb and Brahmah looks, a. feat that created great excitement in England. He was at one time in charge of the Howe Sewing Machine Factory, but since 1866,until,two years ago, has been manager of the Cartridge Company. The deceased was born in Boston, October 7, 1812, and was well-known in Europe as an expert lock-picker. He learned the manufacture of looks with Day & Newell, formerly well-known bank-lock manufacturers in New York, and gave many exhibitions of his skill In lock-picking between 1845 and 1850 in the presence of noted bank officials from various sections of the country. While in England he heard of the won- derful bank-lock made by Brahmah in London,and received the reward of 200 guineas offered by the maker for pick- ing the same. The test was made in the presence of noted bank officials and scientific men in Europe. 1866 he returned to America and took charge of the Union Metallic Cartridge Company, of Bridgeport. He leaves a widow, one son and one daughter. Unsuccessful Burglars. About3 o’clock Saturday morning, Mrs. George S. Grumman, who, to- gether with her husband live at No. 1 North avenue, was awakened by a noise which sounded as if someone was trying to open the shutters of the side windows. She awakened her husband, who got up, and after finding his re- volver, went to look for the burglar, He heard the latter try all the window shutters on the east side of the house, and then walk around to the front stoop and up the steps. Mr. Grumman went through into the parlor, intend- ing to meet the thief should he attempt to enter by the front door or window, but just as the burglars got to the top step of the stoop, .Vlr. Grumman fell headlong overa chair, and the noise that followed was heard by the thief, who ran down off the stoop and out of the yard. Mr. Grumman watched some little while for tho burglar to return but nothing more was heard of him. An examination showed that nothing around the premises had been removed. Robbed ‘the Mails. Herbert Dorman, twenty-six years old, a mailing clerk at the \Villimantic postoffice, was arrested, Monday, for robbing the mails. The postoifice au- thorities suspected for six months that some one was stealing letters, but could not discover the thief. Inspector Bario was called iu,and Saturday he senta de- coy letter containing four marked one- dollar bills, addressed to a Willimantic man. The letter failed to reach its destination and Inspector Bario charged Dorman with the theft. Dorman con- fessed, but said it was his first offense. _._,____ _____ Her Twenty Children.

It completely cured Woodward Ave., Boston Highlands, Mass. me. M. J. Lolly, 39- Returned to His: C-lc'. Home. On Monday after. .u... Frank Sher- wood. a shoenizuml, employed at Bridgeport, hired a horse and buggy at Gregory’s liverv stable. to drive to the Silas Tuttle place at Cranberry Plains. When he arrived at his destination he blanketed the horse and hitched him, as he supposed. to the fence in front of the house. When he came out of the house to start home. sometime later, the horse was missing. strap hung to the fence, where it had been tied, but no trace of the horse could be found. Mr. Sherwood and Charles Tuttle procured another turnout and drove up Chestnut Hill as far as the Finch Bros. residence, and then returned to Norwalk, where Sherwood reported his loss. and the police of. the neighboring towns were notified to look out for the horse. ' The horse was a young bay, which Silas W. Gregory purchased last May from the “H 1b.” Barnes estate, and as Barnes live just above the Tuttle place, Mr. Gregory at once thought that the horse in some way had gotten loose from the fence and wandered up to its former home. His surmises were correct, as next morning the horse was returned from the Barnes place, where he had gone the previous evening, and had been taken care of. A young lady who is stopping at the house said that she was standing at the front gate, when a horse with a. blanket over him, came tearing up to the gate and stopped. She took him to the barn where he was unharnessed and recog- nized by some of the men folks as the horse which had been sold to Mr. Gregory Just spring. Shel-W0od and Tuttle had passed the Barnes place in search of the horse, a short time after the horse had arrived there, but did ‘ not stop. It is thought that in hitching the horse to the fence Mr. Sherwood neglected to properly snap the hitch line on the bit, and the horse finding that he was free, started ofi' up the hill to his old home. Practice Makes Perfect. The locomotive drivers on the New England railroad west of Hartford, af- ter a few days more practice,bid fair to solve the problem of two trains going in Opposite directions, passing each other on a single track; it is true that so far the result has been smashed lo- comotives, splintered freight cars, and broken heads and limbs of trniumen, but still they persevere, and if constant trials will make the effort a success, they seem bound to attain it. Seriously. the almost daily report in the newspapers of head on Collisions of freight trains on this road. by which locomotives and cars are smashed, and trainmen injured, seems to Call for im— mediate action on the part of our rail- road commissioners. The fact is that too many trains are run on this road With only a single track west of Hart- ford, to be run with safety, at any rate, with such arrangements as now exist for their movement. It seems to out- siders that the road should be double- tracked as soon as it can be done, and that until the new track is completed, that the trains should be signaled at each station by competent telegraph operators, and that all trains should slow up for such orders when approach- ing astntion. If existing regulations are much longer continued, it is to be feared that some terrible accident will be the result. The length of the main line or this road from Boston to Fishkill on the Hudson river, is 216 miles, of which line 134 miles is in this state. The length of double track on the entire line is 108 miles, so that a. little less than one-half of the main line is double tracked. Humane Work. For some time past complaints have been made to officer Morehousc, of the Humane Society, of the character of the horses that were being brought into Cranberry Plains for sale and swap- ping purposes. The indignant citizens of that quiet locality finally demanded that something be done to stop the dis- graceful condition of things. and officer Morehouse sent for D. \V. Thrall of Hartford, the general agent of the Humane Society. who promptly re- sponded, and, on Monday, they visited that locality. The home of Stephen Wood was first visited. where it was claimed that his horses had been fed by the neighbors during his absence, _ he having left them without food for a. week. Two houses were found, one of which was a mass of warts and ap- peared to be suffering terribly. Both horses were promptly shot. The offi- cers next visited Gershom Fillow’s, where they found a horse unfit for use, which was also shot. While the officers were making their investigation they Were informed by the residents, of the disgraceful swapping and selling of these poor, broken down horses, which were brought there from outside the state. and sold there on Sunday. .The officers will hereafter keepalook-out for these parties, and arrest them on sight. It is also stated that they are In receipt of complaints from residents near the Elm Grove store. of an ex- minister who has been cruelly treating . a horse and cow, which they will at once investigate. Strong Sulphur Water. The New York Sun published on Sunday the first of its series of foreign letters from Mark Twain for which it pavs some $250 per column. As it is copyrighted, we venture to copy out the following racy extract : After my first douche I went. to the chemist’s on the corner, as per 1nstruc— tions, and asked for half a glassof Challe water. It comes from a spring sixteen miles from here.It was furnished to me, but, perceiving that there was something the matter with it, I oflered to wait till they could get some that was fresh, but they said it always smelt that way. They said that the reason that this was so much ranker than the sulphur water of the bath was that this contained thirty-two times as much sul- phur as that. It may be true, but in my opinion that water comes from a cemetery, and not a fresh cemetery, either History says that one of the early Roman generals lost an army down there somewhere. If he could come back now I think this water would help him find it again. However. I drink the Challe, and have drunk it once or twice every day since. I sup- pose it is all right, but I wish I knew what was the matter with those Ro- mans. Must not be confounded with com- mon cathartic or purgative pills. Car- ter’s Little Liver Pills are entirely un- like them in every respect. One trial will prove their superiority. The hitching I m 0. MR ADCUMPANl B r 1 as e per 1‘: .
