Our Local Nominees. The nominations for State Senator and Judge of Probate for this district have been made as have also the candi- ’ dates for representative from this end of the town, and it is not exaggerating to assert that both political parties have selected first class men and of no candidate on any ticket can it be said, as is too often the case and the truth as well, that it-is ‘fa nomination not fit to be made." -' ’ . For Judge of Probate, the Rebubli- cans following ancient and honorable usage have renominated Judge Asa B. Woodward, while the Democrats have put in nomination as his competitor Attorney James T. Hubbell, of whose personal character and ability nothing i can be said but in unstinted praise. Hubbell is upright, clean and honor- able in every respect, but as it has long and wisely been the policy in this Pro- bate District to keep this office as far aloof from partizan struggles as pos- sible, it is probable that Mr. Hubbell deservedly popular as, he is, will fail of election. For years and years, the Re- publicans of this Probate District cast their unreserved sufi‘rages for Mr. Geo. A. Davenport for Probate Judge, al. though he was in politics a Democrat of the strictest hard-shell order. These traditions render Judge Woodward’s success practically certain and the de- feat of Hubbell in no sense a diSparage- ment of his conceded merits. For Senator the Democrats have re- nominated Hon. John S. Seymour. This is probably the best that party could do, but in aPresidential year the Thirteenth Senatorial district ought to be and doubtless will be Republican, which renders the election of John H. Ferris, Esq, his competitor, the most probable. Besides, two years ago Mr. Seymour polled a heavy Republican vote on account of his utopian and un- realized parallel railroad pledges and for other helpful local causes, which will fail him this year. Indeed if rumors from the city are to be relied upon Mr. Ferris is likely to get‘ as large a Democratic support from that end of the town as Mr. Seymour did Republican here at the Borough two years ago. Mr. Ferris is an excep- tronally popular, level-headed, upright and honest man, whose word is as good as his bond. Scthat if Senator Seymour can keep within gun-shot of his presi- dential ticket it ought to satisfy and probably will, the full measure of his ambition. _ _ For represntative the Republicans have put in nomination Mr. E. O. K‘eeler one of our . foremost, wide- awake, enterprising and successful busi- ness men, who has a pretty certain habit of getting elected whenever a candidate for local office. Against him the Democrats have placed their best possible candidate in the person of the venerable and patriotic Gen. Couch. But good citizen, grand old man as he is and brave soldier as he was in the war against rebellion, his are not the winning qualities to enthuse the rank and file of his party followers. His army service and the fact that he was a corps commander, are things of the distant past; a new generation has grown up since his conspicuous service for the Unidn at Gettysburg; nor is it certain that all the f‘old bunkers” of his party will esteem him any the higher for his distinguished military service, put forth to destroy, what they deemed, their political friends and allies of the south. Again, Norwalk is invariably Republican in a Presiden- tial year, and this of. itself, ensures the defeat of our good friend the General and the triumph of Keeler. All in all, the nominees this year are exceptionally good and strong. And may the best men win. Zimmerman’s Big Match. Zimmerman and Sanger, the two great wheelmen, have been matched for a trOphy valued at $2,000 and side stakes of. $20,000 more, six weeks from this date in the South, probably in New Orleans. The man winning two out of three events, one, two and five miles, will be declared the victor. In order to save these two stars to the world of am- ateurs they will not touch a penny of the money. From the manufacturing interests which are involved will come the bet of $10,000 a side. She Wants to Register. Miss Sarah Winthrop Smith, of Sey- mour. a local woman’s rights advocate, has sent a written application to the re- gistrars of voters demanding that her name be put on the list. She claims ‘ that according to the constitution she has a right to vote for congressman at least, and quotes a supreme court judge in her defense. The registrars have postponed-action until the next meet- ing of the board. If Miss Smith is ad- mitted at least 25 other women will de- mand recognition. «-p_...,._..-, . . ‘ , Against the Consolidated. Several "weeks ago the Consolidated road submitted a proposition to the city of Bridgeport to change its layout. It was to the effect that fifteen streets should be closed, only two miles of track should he used and there would be only three bridges. The proposi- tion was brought before the common v. council-last night It was rejected by a ' ~vote of 14 to l. The one was Council- man Chapman. _._.:..._ -4 O p———.- lt is Still a Mysterv.

Don Dickinson’s Scheme. Col. Don M. Dickinson’sofi'ertoback his belief in Mr. Cleveland’s election with $5,000 has attained in two or three days such notoriety that it is likely to blaze the way to a new departure in politics, before which the Australian ballot and civil service reform will pale into insignificance. The secret is half revealed in the statement of Charles E. Coon in the New York Herald that the democrats always set aside a certain part of their campaign fund for betting purposes with the object of begetting confidence. . If Mr. Coon has really made adiscov- cry. if a new legitimate excuse for the use of money in a campaign exists, the ' ‘country is entitled to a complete ex- pose, and will not be satisfied with any- thing but full details of the schemes says the Washington Post. Many and great men have told of can- dor, perfectly satisfactory to them- selves, of the various channels through Which the millionsatpolitical'headquar- ters percolate in the _course of a politi- cal canvass, and it has been boldly sta- ted that the ante-election confidence has been based upon boodle, but the employment of campaign funds to re- store confidence seems to require rath- er a strain upon the imagination. Col. Dickinson could hardly be ac- cused of indulging in a game of bluff. and in fact gives the keynote to his plan in saying that he does not be lieve that a great popular movement can be started and held to a course by the use of money, or that when on its course it can be “stemmed, dammed, or turned aside by cash.” He has no faith apparently in the use of money in campaigns, and to show his faith by his works, according to his critic, coolly withdraws $5,000 from circula- lation until Nov. 8. This is, in the light of his utterance, no mere empty- vaunting, designed to rally the faint ing hosts of his‘ party, but a sted toward a more general withdrawal of cash from campaign coffers. The $5,- 000 to cover his bet, added to that bet, would mean $10,000 in temporary in- nocuous desuetude, as it were, and such an illustrous example could un- doubtedly have great effect in the of- fering of many other bets with prompt coverings. In fact, this thing might continue until one or the other trees urv has been depleted, and then the fragments that remain might be gath- ered into a consolation pool to be awarded as a prize to the most success- ful of the side issues in a campaign. If this be the mainspring of the col- onel’s bet he should secure a patent upon his invention and enjoy at leisure the laurels which would be bestowed upon him. . ' ' .. Sold to a New Havener.

Do Ver Warner of Bridgeport, entle- men nominated for presidentia elec- tors by_the Republican .party, have both resigned. They were bank direc- tors and so disqualified unless they re- signed those positions. They did not careto do so and consequently gave up their places on the ticket. The state committee has put in their places Isaac Emerson Palmer of Middletown and Charles A. Hotchkiss of Bridgeport. An Advertising Agent Skips. .. George'Ford, says the Bridgeport Standard, for the past year or more employed as advertising solicitor and collector by the Union, has left town, and over his name hangs the cloud of embezzlement. Monday Ford was at his duties as usual, and about noon left the office, telling Manager Ocain that he would go to the East Side after some bills and then return. He was not seen afterward, and yes- terday morning Mr. Ocain became sus. picious. He went to an advertiser whose bill had been presented last week and‘ had not been returned as paid by Ford. Mr. Ocain found that the bill had been paid on Saturday, and the investigation which was com- , pleted this morning shows him to have taken about $750 from his employers, according to their statement. He also obtained various articles and sums of money from business men about town. He would have a personal check on his own account cashed, but when the checks were presented for payment, there were no funds to meet them, and all these transactions, how- ever, took piace on Saturday and Mon- day, so that those he duped did not discover their loss until after his flight. Last evening Manager Ocain re- ceived a letter from Ford which was mailed in Providence, R. I. In the letter he admitted his guilt and said that he had aided a friend in this city who had promised him money on Oct. 10. The money was not paid and so he decided to leave town. The missing man came here about two years ago from South Norwalk and bass wife who is said to be in New York. . ‘ Reading Deal Published. At a meeting of the directors of the Boston & Maine road in Boston yester- day, arrangements for some time in ne- gotion were perfected. In brief they are as follows : Boston & Maine and Reading come together on terms favor- able. A. A. McLeod, president of the Reading. succeeds Frank Jones as presi- dent of the allied roads. The latter is chairman of the board of directors and vice president. A trunk line to Buffalo and the West, over its own bed of pol- ished steel, is the outcome. Enormous traffic movements will be the result. New York & New England is directly interested. The property is now owned by Reading interests. It is true that interests friendly to‘ Reading have been buying New ng— land, but it is stated that Reading is not seeking control because it already has control of that stock and that the New York & New England road will be used as a connecting link in certain di- rections between the Boston 8; Maine and Reading systems. The two corporations have an aggre- gate mileage of over 9,000 miles and will carry upon their pay rolls over 130,000 employes. ' This explains the surprising activity and sharp advance in too market price of Boston & Maine stock during the past fortnight. Vanderbilt interests were not the purchasers, as currently believed. ‘ A Singed Cat. If ever there was a thoroughly srnged cat in town, it is the one belonging to Mrs. \Vesley Banks who lives at N 0. 28 Chapel street. Yesterday, Mrs. Banks placed a large bracket lamp, filled with oil on her kitchen stove. Near the stove lay a cat in silent repose. Sud- denly the lamp broke. and the oil be- coming ignited ran off one stove on the poor animal setting its winter coat of hair in a blaze. Smarting from the pain of the burning hair the feline ran like mad about the rooms in the house threatening to set fire to the combusti- bles in the same. In one of the rooms visited by the flaming animal was the corpse of a man awaiting burial. Fi- nally Mrs. Banks recovered her pres- ence of mind and opened a door lead- in into the yard, and the poor feline made a dash for it and soon was roll- ing about in the dirt, Mrs. Banks hav- ing in the meantime dashed a pail of water on it. She then extinguished the fire near the stove. Strangely enough but little damage was done aside from burning a hole in the carpet and smoking the walls in the kitchen. It is remarkable that the feline in its mad scamper about the rooms did not set fire to anything. Mrs. Banks her? self had a narrow escape from being seriously burned. The cat is about to- day, and while not quite as frisky as usual seems to be otherwise all right. Union Veteran‘s Union. The department encampment of Connecticut Union Veterans’ union convened in Menden yesterday morn- ing. It was opened at 10 o’clock by prayer by Rev. Mr. Warner, chaplain- 1n-ch.1ef. This was followed by the annual business meeting at which the yearly reports were read. They.showed a satisfactory increase in membership and that the finances were in a flourish- ing condition.

The craft is to be of the keel-cut style, 25 feet on the water line, and is intend- ed ‘to be the most practical and,_ com- fortable cruising boat of her size in these waters. ‘ ' The beam of the boat will be 10 feet, draught 315 feet, and she will have 1,800 pounds of lead bolted to her keel.

O No Clue to his ldentltv. g The body ofa smooth faced young man apparently 22 cars of a e, five feet ten inches in eight, wel built, and weighing a patently _165 pounds ,. was found dead .donday mght by the side of the railroad track a short dis- tance from the_Saugatuck station. The \ engineer of the down milk train which reaches Saugatuck at 8:15 discovered the body. It ‘was distinctl 'seen by the glare of the headlight. e stopped the train and the body was taken to Saugatuck station and afterwards trans. ferred to Charles Fable’s undertaking rooms in Westport. The col wounds were a broken nose which bled slightly and several deep cuts and contusions about the forehead and top and sides of the head. ' Otherwise there was not a broken bone or a bruise . on the body with the ex- ception of one on the right thigh which was apparently older than the bruises on the head. The body was dressed in a black wheeling coat, dark pants of good ma- terial. white shirt, high collar, blue pufl' tie. heav walking or wheeling shoes, and a b ack Derby hat of Knox make. , , The condition of the body was _such as to bafile all attempts at identifica- tion. With the exception of two scraps of paper, which are noted below, the pockets were absolutely empty. Not acent in money, letters, watch, Jew- elry, knife, keys, or, even a collar but- ton were found. The two pieces of paper were respectively a memoran- dum with the word “Ansonia” written upon it in lead pencil, and the coupon of a ticket to the Ansonia Opera House, bearing no date. In addition to these was found part of the covers of a mile- age book. That part of the front cover bearing the number of the book was torn off. These were all the clues discovered by Deputy Coroner Powers and the Saugatuck officials. At Fable’s undertaking rooms, Dep- uty Powers viewed the body and ren- dered the verdict of death from accr- dental causes. *1 Daughters of Rebekah.
