' In the - House. on motio of Gunn,
Tuesday, the Constitutional convention
bill " was made the special order for
Thursday at 2 p. m. The contested
elections and attorney general bills are
assigned for the same day. '
The bill permitting cities to establish
plants for the manufacture of gas "and
electricity was passed, with an amend;
ment that it should not apply to cities
of less than 15,000.
.m.
son for judge and Gideon Wakelee for
deputy judge of the Huntington town
court were favorably reported. ' '
The Bridgeport taxation and appor-
tionment measure was amended by sub-
stituting the word April for January
wherever the latter occurs, and making
Bridgeport’s fiscal year be in March 29.
This will make the new aw supplant
the next city meetin , whereas the ori-
ginal measure woul not. The bill cre-
ating the oflice of prosecuting attorney
in Bridgeport was favorably reported.
The bill that all expense above $200
'of repairing bridges having 5 spans was
rejected. The same fate met the bi
that where a highway extend-
ed continuously through three towns it
might on application of 81x taxpayers
in each town he made a county highway
and maintained by the county. ' .
The bill incorporating the Sterling
Widows’ Home, of Bud eport, was un-
favorabl reported. udd, of Strat-
ford, an Spencer of Saybrook, were
appointed a committee to look up the
document conveying the Governor’s
nomination of Milton S. Shumway as
Superior Court judge. The document
has disappeared. . .
The Senate passed the Constitutional
Convention bill by a tie vote, broken
bythe deciding ballot of the L1eut.-
Governor in the affirmative. Those
who voted for the passage of the bill
were Cleveland, Pierce, Root, Holden,
Fox, Crandall, Houlihan, Ensign and
Robertson ; nay—Senators Holcomb,
Jones, Ferris, Milner, Brooker, Chap-
man, Perkins, Gross. and Matthewson.
Messrs. Hall and Coffee, and Gardner
and Phelps were paired, and the 'ab-
sence of U. S. Treasurer Morgan was
compensated for by the absence of
Keeney (Rep) . .
.The speakers in favor of.the bill
were Senators Fox, Holden, Pierce and
Senator Holcomb (Ben). was
the only one who spoke in oppOSition.
He used the time worn argument that
the bill for a constitutional convention
is in itself unconstitutional; .if any
changes are needed in the existin con-
stitution they should be ma_ c by
amendment, as provrded in that instru-
ment. _
Under a suspensron of the rules the
bill was at once transmitted to the
House.
When the announcement was made
by the clerk of the Senate, of the rc-
ceipt of the report of the. Democratic
members 'of the State Prison-Investi-
gating committee, J ones, the chairman
of the committee, made an indignant
protest. He said he was surprised to
hear the report; he did not expect-it,
and thought that he and his colleagues
had been treated with discourtesy by
the Democratic members of the com-
mittee. ,
Mr. Cleveland concurred, and scored
Senator Root, one of the .reporting
members, severely. He said such, a
thing as the rendition of a report With-
out reference to the chairman of the
committee, was unprecedcnted in the
history of legislation, and in parliamen-
tary rules, and showed much disrespect
tenths chairman. He said the Senate
could not not either fairly or intelli-
gently without hearing both reports if
two reports were to be rendered. _e
moved that the report be tabled, until
the other report should be presented,
and the Senate so voted.
The Senate has confirmed the ap-
pointment of Representative Charles
Marlor of Brooklyn as School Fund
commissioner. .
The bill creating Troop A of Bridge-
port was called up Wednesday in an at-
tempt which failed by a vote of 112 to
5'7, to pass it over the governor’s veto.
Beardsley and Wells spoke for the bill.
It might have gone through but for the
vote being by yeas and nays. .
. The two bills forbidding fishing by
stationary seines or like contrivances
was the order of the day. That passed
forbids the taking of fish by these
methods in the waters of the state from
April 1 to July 1 for five years, begin-
ning next year,and applies to the House-
tonic, Connecticut and Thames rivers
the year around. Gill nets and eel and
lobster pots are excepted. The penalty
is from $500 to $2,000 fine, and one to
five years’ imprisonment. _
The bill providing for a trip by the
Governor, his staff, and other repre-
sentatives of state to the World’s Fair
was indefinitely postponed along with
an amendment taking in all the mem-
bers of the General Assembly.
Passed: Appropriating $20,000 for
two years for the education of the
blind of the state; appointing James
Tomlinson judge, and Gideon Wakelee
deputy judge of the Huntington town
court.
Rejected :~ Appropriating $25,000 for
state agricultural society; appropria-
tion for the state board of health to in-
spect polluted streams.
The Senate passed, with the banking
clause stricken out, the bill incorporat-
ing the Connecticut Land and Improve-
ment Co. of Bridgeport. It was ex-
plained that , the corporation were
wealthy Litchfield men'whose' object
was to develop land in Indiana.
The collateral inheritance act was re-
pealed in disagreeing action with the
House. The law will probably stand. '
The charter of the Citizens Gas Co.
of Bridgeport,‘was amended, the Bridge-
port chartcr amendments favorably re-
ported, and the'Milford Land and Im-'
provemen‘t'Cm incorporated. “ - '
In the House these matters were pas-
sed: Incorporating the Tadensa Ros--
cinska Polish Benevolent Society of
Bridgeport; incorporating the Bohem-
ian Roman Catholic Sick Benevolent
Society of Bridgeport; incorporating
the city of Norwalk. _
The constitutional convention bill,
passed by the Senate, provides that the
people shall in October, 1893, vote on
the holding of a convention and at the
same time [elect delegates. The con-
vention, it called, shall be held in
Hartford, November 12, '1893. ,The

pensation of each delegate shall be $300.

After Fifteen Yearsnot Suffering
Finds the Long Honeci For
Relief.
'Some' interesting Talks with .Peo-
role We Know, and Sound
Advice Gluen.
[Fulton, iv. v. PatriotJ
Ali-intervals during the past year the
Patriot and Gazette has been publish-
ing newspaper reports of miraculous
cures occurring in various parts of the
United- States, which have been to
many of us exceedingly interesting
reading. -
We had no reason to doubt the ac-
curacy .of these various statements
from the fact that they were vouched
for by the newspapers who published
the same, and bore upon their face the
endorsement of the best men and
women in, the places from which they
. We had no idea, how-
ever, that right in our very village,
among people, we all know, equally as
interesting-cases were to be found as
those published. The medicine that
has been working these wonders is re-
ceiVing everywhere the endorsement of
physicians, press and patient, is Dr.
David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy.
Perhaps there is no case more worthy
of mention than that of our - fellow
townsman, C. H.- Graver. According
to Mr. Craver’s own statement, he suf-
fered for fifteen years with an ulcerat-
ed leg. Difi'erent physicians were con-
sulted, they prescribed. but it did not
grow better, _“I thought,” said Mr.
Graver, "that it never could be healed;
finally Dr:Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy
was mentioned to me, and from the
first bottle it began to improve, and af-
ter using, I can’t say just how much, it
made aperfect cure.” ’
Inquiry among Mr. Craver’s friends
shows that he states nothing but the
facts in regard to his case. hfany other
instances of the kind are Widely talked
of here in Fulton where Dr. Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy has effected cures
after physicians had given up hope.
“We all live and learn,” said one of
our local physicians in speaking of Dr.
Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy. “N o
doubt Mr. Craver’s case was the result
of an excess of uric acid in the blood,
and that’s why Favorite Remedy cured
It: Rheumatism, dyspepsia, diabetis,
kidney, liver and urinary troubles,
scrofula, eczema, and the sicknesses
women sufier from, are all brought
about by the same cause, excess of uric
acid in the blood. Dr. Kennedy’s Fa-
vorite Remedy dissolves this acid, thus
curing the disease. For that run-down
feeling people often suffer from in the
Spring, I have used it with marked
success."
W._ H. Morse, M. D., New York
Medical Institute, New York City,
says: “I know_of the therapeutical
value of Dr. Dav1d Kennedy’s Favor-
ite Remedy and prescribe it for the
disorders for which it is recommended,
and With always satisfactory results.”
Confirmed invalids who expected to
end their lives in hospitals, sufi'ering
from chronic rheumatism, neuralgia,
stone in the bladder, and female weak-
nesses, have been restored to health by
this great‘medicine. It is used in every
hospital and sanitarium.
The Sisters of Charity. St. Mary’s
Female Hospital, Brooklyn, N. Y.,say:
“The satisfaction we realize from the
use of Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite
Remedy far surpassed all expectations. ”
_ Imagine the joy and gratitude of Mr.
E. P. Tayer, of East Nassau, N
after being an invalid for fifteen years
from inflammatory rheumatism, and
with no hope of ever getting better,
took Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy
and throw away hiscrutches, and is to-
day a well man. His recovery is look-
miracle.
Uric acid—that is the foe to health,
many more sicknesses than one imag.
ines comes from this cause. Dr. Ken-
nedy’s FavoriteRemedy stands to-day
as the one remedy that dissolves this
acid and gives health and strength.
O
.—
Sudden Death.
Mr. Phillip Holmes Vanderhoef. of
Brooklyn, and youngest brother of T.
Stanley Vanderhoef, of East avenue,
came up from New York on Saturday
afternoon, in company with Mr. Fran
Beatty, to visit his brother. He had
been ill for some time past, but for the
last few days was out and about. He
witnessed the bicycle race Saturday
evening, and was unusually cheerful
and uncomplaining during Saturday
night. Sunday morning he complained
of illness and intense abdominal pain
and took to his bed. Dr. Walter Hitch-
cock wus summoned, who prescribed
some remedies, which gave temporary
relief. Sunday afternoon his suffer-
ings became more intense, and Dr.
Dexter Hitchcock was called in consul-
tation with Dr. Walter. At first it was
thought to be acute peritonitis, but as
his condition grew constantly worse, it
became evident that the trouble was
fatal appendicitis. At 7.30 last even-
ing, and without a struggle, his spirit
passed to the beyond. He was a New
York business man, hi hly esteemed by
all who knew him. - c was thirty-five
years of age and leaves a_ Wife. His
brothers Stanley and Wilham were at
his bedside when he so suddenly and
unexpectedly expired. His remains are
to be conveyed to the home: of his fath-
er in Broo 1yn,to-day, from whence
the funeral'will take place.-
Auntie Miller-Rome’s Escape.
Auntie Miller-Bonk had another nar-
row esoape frOm being struck by the
cars, Sunday morning. She lives along-
side of the track just below the House.-
tonic freight house and in the morning
she called on aneighbor, Mrs. Matron,
who lives next door. When she started
home, she walked out on the railroad
track just as the train which reaches
Norwalk at 9:30 came around the curve.
She is very deaf and did not hear the
approaching train and was serenely
walking along with the engine almost
upon her,when Mrs. Marron,who heard
the thrill whistle of the engine, rushed
out of: her. house, and catching Mrs.
Bank by the arm; pulled: hernofiiof the
track just as the train flew by. . The en-
gineer Stqpped the train, expecting to
find‘ her lifeless body under the wheels,
and was surprised when he discovered,
her but with
the aid of Mrs. arron. This is the
third time that Mrs. Bank has come
near being killed atthis same spot.

Another Runaway.
A serious runaway occurred on North
Main street, South Norwalk, shortly
after 11 o’clock this .morning. Mr.
William B. E. Lockwood, in company
with his colored coachman, was driving
up the street in a carriage hitched to
the well-known horse “Walton Boy.”
The horse became frightened and ran
away. When in front of Crofut 8r.
' Knapp’s shop the runaway horse col-
lided with a surry attached to a horse
belonging to liveryman Horace Dann,
and being driven by Frank Nagle.
Both turnouts were overturned, and
the occupants thrown out. Mr. Lock-
wood received a severe contusion on
his head and young Nagle sustained a
serious wrench to his right ankle.
“Walton Boy” continued on at a
mad pace until reaching the Congrega:
tional church when he made a dash for
the vacant lot in the rear of Nash’s
store and carrying a section of the
fence with him, fell down on the ground
with a broken leg. ' .
Young Nagle pluckily righted his
turnout and getting into the surry
drove to the stables where he reported
the accident to Mr. Dunn, who sent
him home in a carriage and summoned
young man’s injuries to be of a serious
nature. '
Mr. Dann’s surry as well as his horse
were considerably injured.- Mr. Lock-1
wood’s carriage was wrecked, and it is
thought that he will also suffer the loss
of “Walton Boy.”
That no one was killed seems wonder-
ful to those who witnessed the accident.
