Yacht Race Toéday.
The third contest for the America’s

Cup, is arranged for today. If there '

is wind enough to start the yachts and
insure a finished race the result will be
the Valkyrie’s last defeat or first vic-
tory. There are no changes in the gen-
eral expectation that the Vigilant will
again win, but of this we shall know
more before going to press.

Violent Storm Coming.

The weather bureau and telegrams
from all along the Southern coast, an-
nounce another furious West India
cyclone as ravaging the coasts of Flor-
ida, North and South Carolina, and
Georgia, and which may be expected
to reach here between this time and to-
morrow morning. It is now reported
central Ofi' Hatteras.

The Senate Farce.

The disheartening spectacle of our
highest legislative forum being turned
into an exhibition of a brute force strug-
gle of animal endurance, was brought
to an impotent and inglorious end at
one-thirty o’clock this morning, from
utter inability to enforce its rules and
compel the presence of a quorum of its
members. This contest‘of physical en-
durance on which the Senate embarked,
is humiliating to the people of the
United States, and discreditable to the
Senate. That a body of gentlemen,
governed by traditions of the highest
dignity and courtesy, should be sub-
jected to such indignity by .a small
group of parliamentary obstructionists
is an outrage. If they submit to the
indignity without a vigorous assertion
of their self-respect, it will be unworthy
of the Senate’s reputation for order
and decorum. _

- The Senate also suffered the humilia-
tion yesterday, of being powerless to
enforce its rule to compel every Sena-

tor present to vote. It is now apparent
that the time has come for the speedy
adoption of our Senator Platt’s cloture
rule. The vital issue is shifted from
the repeal of the silver bill to the
graver one of whether a constitutional
majority shall rule in the Senate or
ignominiously surrender to a small
but arrogant and domineering minor-
it .

Silt is reported from Washington that
the silver law cannot be repealed by
the Senate and a compromise measure
must be adopted.

 

 

Pleasant Amenities.

His holiness Leo XIII will soon be
in a position to reciprocate President
Cleveland’s delicate and thoughtful at.
tention of some time ago. It will be
remembered that quite recently, on
the occasion of the Pope’s jubilee, Mr.
Cleveland addressed him a very cor-
dial, not to say affectionate letter,
fraught with icongratulation and assur-
ance of esteem, in closing which, and
by way of showing the genuine warmth
that lay behind the conventional ex-
pressions of Official regard, the Presi-
ident offered the holy father a volume
containing the various state papers,
messages, speeches, etc., delivered and
prepared by him during his first ad-
ministration. This attracted a great
deal of attention at the time and was
regarded by the country at large as
a very handsome and whole-souled over-
ture. Now it is announced that the
Pope will shortly publish a third edi-
tion of one of his Latin poems, enti-
tled “Leonis PP. XIII, Carmina et In-
scriptiones.” Two shorter poems, not
hitherto seen in print, will be added,
and the whole prefaced by a review of
the Pope’s literary studies and achieve-
ments. The edition will be limited to
two copies as finely printed and as
sumptuously bound as possible, but
this fact need not interfere with the ar-
rangement happily suggested by the
Washington Post. “One copy will be
enough for the Pope himself, and sure-
ly he could make no more felicitous
disposition of the other than that of
presenting it to Mr. Cleveland in recog-
nition of the latter’s graceful and mun-
ificent tribute.

We .hope to see this most admirable
consummation realized. Mr. Cleve-
land has been exceedingly liberal with
the Pope, and is entitled to the latter’s
most emphatic gratitude.”

Died of Starvation.

Mrs. Charles Peck, the aged woman
of Lyme, whose remarkable fast has
astonished the medical professior, die
Wednesday night. She gradually wast-
ed away and without doubt died of
starvation. With the exception of a
small quantity of water she had not
been able to retain anything on her
stomach for forty-nine days. For over
two weeks she was unconscious an
several times the watchers at her bed-
side thou ht she was dead. She re-
vived one time, however, and her v1-
tality astonished every one who watch-
ed the case. She was 80. years of age
when she was attacked With the last ill-
ness. The physicians were unable to
diagnos the trouble and came to the
conclusion that it was a general break-
ing down of the system due to old age.

 

‘ ’BURNED TO DEATH.

A Little, East Norwalk Boy Meets a
Shocking: Death.

 

 

Started a Bonfire in the Yard.

Between four and five o’clock yester-

ay afternoon as Richard Bland and
Fred. Brundage, were driving past
Henry W. Never’s house on the Fort
Point Road, they heard screams emi-
nating from the back yard. Suddenly
little Arthur, the four-year-old son of
Mr. Nevers, dashed around the corner
Of the house with his little gingham
skirts all on fire. Bland grabbed his
horse blanket and sprang after the boy
and succeeded in overtaking him half
way up the front stairway of the house.
He quickly wrapped the blanket about
the boy and put out the flames. Little
Arthur was then carried up stairs and
Drs. Baker and Bohannan summoned,
who found the little boy badly burned
about the abdomen and arms and up
the back nearly to his shoulder blades.

The doctors did everything that could
be done for the little sufi‘erer, but he
was beyond help and at 7:30 o’clock
this morning little Arthur passed away.

Shortly after being taken into the
house the boy told those in attendance
that he had procured a match from the
kitchen and going out into the garden
had started a small bonfire. While the
fire was burning he thought he would
Jump over it, as he had seen the Older
children do, and in this way his ging-
ham. skirts caught fire. Besides the
burns on his body one of his hands
Was badly burned in his efforts to ex-
tinguish the fire.

Much sympathy is expressed for the
boy’s parents, who are mutes, and who
are nearly crazed by their sudden be-
reavement. .

Smith at Last Defeated.

Dick Guthrie of Canada, and Charles
Smith of Hartford, met Thursday night
in a sparring contest before the Hart-
ford Athletic' club. Guthrie landed
blow after blow upon upon Smith’s jaw
and the latter was knocked insensible
in 2.45 seconds from the time the fight
began. Smith has never before been
defeated. He is the man who fought
nogro Brown, at Southport, defeating
him so badly that Brown committed
suicide through chagrin. Guthrie after
the fight announced his desire to meet
J amieson of Bridgeport.

Trotting Records Lowered.

The black stallion Directnm has add—
ed new laurels to those already his by
a wonderful race at Lexington, Ky.,
this week. He has lowered all records

last heat in 31 seconds. The second
heat was won by Pixley in 2:08.,1.

This race is the fastest ever trotted,
and Directum’s time in the last heat is
second only, as a race record, to the
2:075,i of Alix.

On the same day the four-year-old
stallion Arion trotted against time in
2:07%. As a two-year-old he went in
2:10.%, and last year trotted in 230%.

ed to the roll call. . In the evening
there was special music and a sermon
by Rev. Mr. Sherwood of the South

his text “I am not ashamed of the gos-
pel of Christ.” The singing by-a quar-
tette compesed of Messrs. Fillow,Craw-
ther, McGonegal and Stafford was very
fine. A free will offering netted quite
a sum for the church. It was the most
successful roll call the church has ever
enjoyed.

pelvis which caused an internal hem-
horrage. He was removed to the gen-
eral hospital at 12:30. _ _

dered on to t. 9 tracks and was prob-
ably asleep when he was struck by the
engine. Hines has a wife and one child.
