The leaders of both Harrison and Blaine seem all afloat. Both publicly proclaim their certainty of success to-day, but both seem to be in the same doubt and darkness that has ruled hitherto. The session last night showed both sides to be nervous and apprehensive ; the shadow of the dark horse seeming- ly demoralizing both factions. The feeling seems- rapidly pervading the convention as it does the country, that the surest way to “organize victory” for the Republican party is to close the doors of bitter strife betweenthe friends ‘ of Blaine and Harrison and open them to candidates free from all existing prejudice, bitterness and entangle- The conviction grows that the convention cannot afford to nominate either Harrison or Blaine, even if such nomination were practicable, and thereby project into the national can- vass feuds that no bargains could eon- ciliate, and sores for which there could be no salve. The significant event of last night was the vote on the acceptance of the minority report of the Committee on Contested Seats. The platform which was presented re-afiirms the American doctrine of protection, declares that luxuries should be taxed; demands equal mon- ey, whether it be of gold, silver or pa- per ; favors a free and unrestricted bal- lot, an increase of the navy and is de- cidedly against criminal and pauper immigration. It looks now as though the decisive battle may be fought before sundown to-day. Of course there will be a hot struggle for delay on the part of those who have reason to fear the result of a final vote, but there is an end to all things and the decrees of fate must be accepted sooner or later. After a little the democrats will treat us to another spectacle of the same kind and then the serious business of - the Presidential campaign will begin. ‘ TERSE TALES 0F THE TIMES.

Harr Rider says that East Norwalk is near y solid for John Sherman, while Mr. E. J. Hill? telegraphs to Minneapo- lis that his Lumber yard is solid for Harrison. 0. E. Wilson says he is solid fer Harrison also, because he be- lieves him to be the easiest man for Cleveland to defeat. Bill -Mitehell is for Alger, because he fought the cop- per-heads and Irebels, while Carmi is for “the man who can get there” and so he keep the post office. and Campy wants either Lincoln or Gersham. or some other very conservative candidate. ‘v An Option Secured. An option of the four-fifths of the stock of the Pratt & Whitney 00., Hartford, has been secured by a repre- sentative of an English syndicate, who has sailed for England to lav the mat- ter before the syndicate. The price at which the stock has been secured is over $200 per share, the market quota- tions being $175 with none offered. It is probable that the deal will go through. . The Pratt & Whitney Company was established in 1861 and does an immense business in machinery and fine tools. The capital is $600,000 with a large sur- plus. The company paid 15 per cent. last year and probably earned much more. A Beautiful Incident. “Uncle” Harry Smith of Saugatuek, now over eighty years of age, was made unusually happy last night in Temple Lodge of Westport, by witnessing the raising of his son Homer to the degree of Master Mason. Uncle Harry has seven sons, all of whom are, like him- self, good and loyal Masons and all but one,Aaron, living at the West, were present at Temple Lodge at the conferring of the third degree of Ma- sonry. The “-mrk” Was beautifully rendered by his son Elmer, who is Mas- ter of Newark Lodge No. ‘7, of Newark, N. J. Twenty fellow officers and mem- bers of Newark Lodge were visitors to Temple Lodge with Elmer as was also Grand Senior Warden Belcher of the Grand Lodge of New Jersey. Quite a large company of Norwalk Masons were present and greatly en- joyed the New J ersy work in conferring the Master Mason’s degree. Ballots Examined. The last hearing in the Phelan-Walsh quo-warranto suit before September 1 took place yesterday morning. Four witnesses from Sharon testified about ballots that were thrown out in that town. Dr. Arthur J. Wolff an expert microscopist, testified that he had ex- amined several of the Meriden marked ballots. He took two photographs of the ballots magnified by forty diame- ters and the two negatives when placed one over the other showed the marks in exactly the same spot. ~ The photo- graphs showed the letters magnified so as to be about five inches long. Pho- tographs of the various kinds of marks magnified. forty times were shown. It' would be impossible, the witness said, to have made the marks by hand, as a difference of five-thousandths of an inch would show on the negative. The witness produced a thirty-diameter mi- croscope in court and examined several Bridgeport ballots. He found the marks to be identical with each other. The court and the attorneys also exam- ined the ballots through the microscope. After short arguments the lawyers gave their papers to Judge Hall with a request to find the facts in the case.

The bride looked very pretty in a wedding gown of heliotrope color. and the groom seemed to be the happiest man on earth. The couple were in receipt of many valuable and useful presents. They left on the 7.30 train for Syracuse, N. Y., followed by a shower of rice, old slippers and con- gratulations. They expect to return home on the 18th. May they live long and happily and all their troubles be little ones. ‘ <~o->——-——--—~—«—— Flag Day at Putnam Camp. Pursuant to a vote of the Board of Managers of the Sons of the American Revolution, all members of that Soci- ety and the Sons of the Revolution, and members of all historical and patriotic societies, (editors and reporters of course), with theirfamilies, are invited to join in a grand basket picnic, at Put- nam Camp, Bedding, on the anniver- sary of the adoption of the American Flag, Tuesday, June 14, 1802. Putnam Camp was the quarters of Gen. Israel Putnam and his army in the winter of 1788—9, and has been ac- quired and cared for by the State since 1887. A monument has been erected, carriage drives aud boundary walls built, and various other improvements have been made and are in progress, to keep alive the interest in this historic Spot. and preserve the landmarks and relies which remain as evidences of its occupancy by the soldiers of Gen. Put- nam during that trying winter. —~r——-—-——-<+ His Life a Lesson. With the death of Sidney Dillon yes- terday morning there passed away al. most the last one of the group of men who by their faith in the value of the railroad so worked at and developed it as to put the United States at a bound in the foremost rank of nations. He began life as an errand boy on the first line in this State; he drove the silver spike that bound the two oceans by a line of iron rails, and when he died he was interested in railroads from one end of the country to the other. The good old rule “What is worth doing is worth doing well” was his favorite advice to young men, and every boy can take a lesson from his i e. . Mr. Dillon’s parents were .poor and he went to work, and hard work, too, at an age when the boy of to-day is playing marbles. He had no educa- tional advantages either, but by hard study at night, by economy and appli- cation he rose to be a cultured, wealthy man and one of the prominent figures of his time. \ , - iMURDEipggissuu, A COIOI‘ed Man Stabbed With a Pair Of Shears. The Victim in a Dangerous Condi- tion. Shortly after 9 o’clock last night, Of- ficer Martin arrested and placed in the station-house a colored man living on Mechanic street and of unenviable rep— utation, and with the cognomen of Don Juan Carlos. The complainant was Fred Anderson another colored man, and who until recently was in the em- ploy of Frank W. Woodward. As near aszthe story can be gotten at, it would seem that Don Carlos was standing near Holmes, Keeler & Selleck’s store, talking With some friends of both sexes, whenAnderson crossed the street and stepping up to Don familiarly slapped . him' on the shoulder and said “Hallo. Don.” At this Carlos turned around and dealt Anderson a blow in the breast With his right hand in which he held a pair of shears, and then asked Ander- son if he wanted to fight. Anderson replied that he was .only joking. Soon after Anderson felt blood trickling down his breast, and espying Officer Martin said “that man.” pointing to Don, “has stabbed me. arrest him.” ‘ The officer then placed Don under ar- rest. he making no attempt to get away. While on the way to the station house he threw a revolver down the driveway near John Malone’s saloon, which was afterward found by Mr. Malone. He also attempted to strike Anderson another blow. On being searched a pocket-knife and a pair of scissors were found in his possession and taken charge of by the officer. Anderson then walked to Dr. J. G. Gregory’s where the wound was dressed and he was sent home in a carriage. The cut is on the right breast, just over the lung, and about an inch deep. If blood pomoning does not set in, it is not be- lieved that it will prove fatal. It is stated by acquaintances of the parties ' that the stabbing was the result of an old grudge, but this is denied by both Anderson and Carlos. The latter has the reputation of being a bad man, and a hard drinker, and for the past week has been on a spree. The attending physician says that Anderson has suffered internal hemorr- hage and that it is impossible as yet to determine the result of his injury. He was unable to appear against Carlos this morning. Justice Coolidge then placed Carlos under $1,500 bonds for trial to-morrow. Below will be found the versions of the affair as told by the two principals : A GAZETTE reporter visited the home of Anderson on Park street early this morning. He lay on his back in bed. and was not inclined to talk much, but gave his version of the affair as follows: “ I was standing near the horse-car de- pot and saw Don talking to some wo- men near Holmes, Keeler & Selleck’s store, opposite. I went across the street and stepping up to~him gave him a slap on the back and said, ‘ Hallo, Don?’ He then struck me. I walked away from him, and in a minute or so, felt the blood trickling down my breast, and then knew I was stabbed. Officer Martin came along just then, and I told him to arrest Don because he had stab- bed me. Officer Martin then took him. I walked down to Dr. Grego- ry’s and told him I had been stabbed. He looked at the cut and fixed it up and ‘ sent me home in a carriage, for I felt awful faint. The cut don’t hurt me much, but I’m afraid it’s a bad one. It’s about an inch deep. Don and me was always good friends. I guess that’s all I’ve got to say.” To a GAZETTE reporter at the station house this morning, Carlos told the fol- low1ng story: “I was standing opposite the horse-car depot talking with John Showell, another colored fellow ; I was going to cut his hair, and had a pair of shears in my right hand ; am sort of blind in one eye, the result of a revol- ' ver cartridge that I got in the cheek at White Plains. As we stood there some one came up and struck me a blow on the blind side, and said, f-Hallo, Den ‘9’ Not waiting to see who it was, I swung around and struck him a blow in the breast with the hand that held the shears. I might have pricked him a little, but I guess it didn’t amount to much. I then saw it was Fred. Ander- son. ‘We had always been good friends and were together in the afternoon. Oh, I forgot to say when I hit him he turned and kicked me in the stomach. I then shoved the shears in my belt and squared for him, and asked him if he wanted to fight. He said no, that he was only joking. I then started. along With Showell, but had not gone far when we met Officer Martin, and then Anderson stepped up and said I had stabbed him, and asked the officer to ar— rest me, and he did. 'While we were on the way to the lockup. Anderson came up near me and I made a strike at him, and in dodging the blow he slipped and fell. He didn’t act much like a man that had been stabbed, for he followed me way down here. Ain’t they going to give me a trial this morning ‘2 ” He did not seem to appreciate the fact that he had done anything of a se- rious nature,but rather acted as though he expected a release or a light sen- tence. Not Satisfied. Mrs. Baffacle Arena of Chapel street. who yesterday had a neighbor arrested on the charge of stealing a watch, 39W- elry and money, and who was found guiltless of the charge, and of which a report appeared in this column, became . wroth yesterday, and calling at the ' home of Mrs. Annie Gill-Roach, toward whom she had a spite, knocked at the . door. As Mrs. Roach opened the door, Mrs. Arena let her right .arm go out in true pugilistic style, sending Mrs..Roach to the floor. A warrant was sw'orn out for Mrs. Arena’s. arr-est, and she will probably appear in e court-room are- na this afternoon, to then and there an- swer to the charge of assault, with in- tent, etc. . ‘
