Read the Message. We advise all manly men‘to read Mr. Cleveland’s special message on the Venezuela boundary question. They will read a document as thrilling as the Declaration of Independence, as mo- mentous as the Proclamation of Eman- cipation. No President of this Ameri- can Union has ever given out an utter- ance more cOurageous,more inspinting, more splendid. It has roused the country from one end to the other. Before the breath of its magnificent patriotism the doubts and fears of faint-hearted trimmers, the nerveless maunderings of Mugwumps, are blown awayin shame. It is a call to arms. Read it. Mr. Bull, Take Notice! The fires of patriotism are burning brightly on every hill, and England will please sufi'er us to direct her, attention to a few of them, to wit: An Alabama gentleman has sent a letter to Congiess- and equip a regiment of volunteers; En— campment No. 38 Union Veteran League-,of New York,composed of men, man Harrison offering to raise 2m: the resolution set forth, “trained for years in the art of war under such able masters as Grant Sherman, Sheridan and Meade, is ready at a moment’s call to again take up arms in defense of the nation if the need should arise;” Judge Grosscup, Speaking from the benchin the United States Court in Peoria, Ill, “advised the Grand Jury, before discharging them, to talk pa- triotism when they returned to their homes, and urged them to stand by President Cleveland, although they might differ with him in politics ; ” in. Buffalo. the old home of Mr. Cleveland, a whole day was given up in the high schools reading the message to the pn— pils; in Virginia, the home of Presi- dents in general, the House of Dele- gates adopted the usual ringing resolu- tions and assured Mr. Cleveland that he could. if need be, call upon Virginia for support and succor; in Anderson, Ind, Company C. of the National Guard were mustered at the armory and the President‘s message read to them, the same being received with cheers, while later each member an- swered to his name and promised to de- fend the Monroe doctrine with his life. while here in Norwalk Company F, with the gallant Captain Rose in com- mand, is also ready to go in and whip John Bull. We might cite our friends across the water to other significant manifestations, but these will suffice. Anyhow, award to the wise ought to be sufficient. They Took a Dip. Michael Lynch while engaged in bar- vesting ice for Butcher Fred Smith at the Union factory pond, yesterday, stepped on a cake of ice that precipi. tated him into the water. He was helped out but little the worse off for his adventure. A lad named Gussie Adams fell on the ice on the same pond yesterday, and besides receiving several bad cuts on his face, broke through and received a thorough ducking. He was assisted out of the water by some boys who were skating on the pond at the time. Arthur Wells also broke through the ice at the same place, but escaped with only half a ducking. Fire in Willimantic. .Fire started at midnight in the print- ing establishment of the Baldwin Print- ing Co. in Crescent street. The building and contents were entirely destroycll. The loss on the building is $1,500, fully covered by insurance. On the stock the loss is placed at $3,000, with a small insurance. ' Alhambra Theatre Auction.

Senators Object to the Power Given the President by the Resolution. GAZETTE’s BUREAU. , f. 709 EAST CAPITOL STREET WASHINGTON, DEG. 19th. The Hitt resolutiOn which passed without a dissenting vote in the House and only mildly criticised by Mr. Ding- ley of Me., will not go through the Senate with any such rush, as Senator Morgan has stated his purpose of hav- ing it considered fully in the Foreign Relations Committee before its report for action in the Senate. His motion will not be opposed by any one on the Republican side. 0 o o _ Republican Senators and, indeeed many of the Democrats, are opposed to giving the President all the” power which would be vested in "him by the House resolution. It will be insisted, in the first place, that the commission- ers shall be nominated to and ' con- firmed by the Senate, instead of having any check whatever upon his selection. In view of the important and responsi- ble duties which they will perform, the Senators feel that there should be some investigation into their character and qualifications. In * addition to this, the point was made in the caucus yes- terday that there was in the House resolution no limitation as to the time when the commissioners should report, "and this was felt to be an oversight which should be remedied. Other con- siderations antagonistic to the resolu- tion were also brought forward. 0 O 0 Speaker Reed will announce the House committees to-morrow provided the resolution for the holiday recess from December 20 to January is con- curred ifi by the Senate; but in case of non-action on the resolution the an- nouncement of committees will be postponed until the day of adjournment for the holidays. 0 o 0 Senator Platt stated to-night that he thought the House bill in reference to to the Venezuela question would be passed in some shape to-morrow. o o o The Hon. Elbert 0. Hull of Monroe, stopped over here a day on his way to Atlanta to visit the exposition. He was at the Capitolthis morning and saw the Connecticut delegation. -——-—-—~——<+>—————-— Her Wit Gave Her a Seat.

His Runaway Horse Collides With Several Vehicles. The first accident from driving under the new railroad bridge over Washing- ton street, South N orwalk, occurred this morning and came very near re- sulting seriously for two parties. ' About 11 o’clock Frederick Gregory, of Strawberry Hill road, drove under the railroad bridge just as a train passed overhead. His spirited 'horse became frightened at the noise and with a bound dashed down Wrshington street. Standing in front of his store was L. H. Decker’s horse hitched to adelivery wagon. Into this Gregory’s horse crashed, thawing the driver out upon his head in the street, but doing no damage to the Decker vehicle. As Gregory failed to move two gen- tleman ran to his assistance and found upon picking him up that he was un- conscious. They carried him across the street into Stillson’s drug store and hastily summoned Dr. Burke, who upon examination found that while his skull was not fractured, he had-received a bad scalpwound on the left side of the head, from which blood was freely flowing. The wound was dressed and Gregory having revived was able to re- turn to his home. After Gregory was thrown out his horse ran down Washington street, and in front of the Sentinel office collided witha phaeton containing Miss Pearl Gregory, daughter of S. W. Gregory, and a friend. The force of the collision broke the spring of the carriage and threw the ladies out, but the horse did not run away. The lady friend with Miss Gregory struck on her face on the pavement, badly scratching one check and break- ing her nose. She was assisted into a nearby house where Dr. Baker render- ed medical assistance after which she returned with Miss Gregory to the latter’s home on West avenue. The horse after colliding with Miss Gregory’s turnout continued on down the street and ran into the turnout of Mrs. Lauder. In this collision the horse was thrown and captured before he could get up and start again. The Lauder carriage was uninjured. The runaway caused considerable excitement,.and that it did not result in a more serious accident is surprising was well as fortunate. ._ -——-—————<‘ Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.

He passed through an experience that was as an pleasant as it was novel—that of being held up and robbed within the gloomy and musty walls of the great pyramid of Cheops, by the Nile. Discussing the trip, Dr. Mills said': “If I had to live in a foreign city, it would either be Paris or Cairo. Cairo is unlike any other city in the world. There is a strange mingling of the white faces of the Greeks with the inky black faces of the Nubians and Sudanese and the yellow skinned Arabs, woo con- stitute the bulk of the population. Of and I undertook to do it without being accumpanied b a dragoman. Against the advice of ‘riends, I set out on the back of a. donkey, with no attendant save the donkey boy. As the boy could speak no English and I could speak no Arabian, we did not talk much. “We were followed out of Cairo by a swarm of beggars, whose only cry was ‘Backsheesh, backsheesh. ’ When we reached the vicinity of the pyramids, we were met by a horde of Arabs, who could speak but a. few words of broken English. They voluntered to take me inside the pyramid. With two of the wild looking sons of the desert we en- tered the great pyramid of Cheops, de- scending long, gloomy passages, passing the brink of an enormous well, travers- ing a footway which led along by the tombs of numerous dead and up a. nar- row passagewaywith a floor as smooth as glass. “Here the ascent was so steep that it was necessary for one Arab to go in' front and pull me along, while the oth- er came behind and pushed. When we reached the end of this passageway, We sat down to rest. The atmosphere was stifling, while myriads of black bats flew clumsily about and gave an un- canny appearance to the place. It Was then that my two Arab guides began to thinkliéf ‘backsheesh’ and ask " in Eng- ly well, how much money I had. It was no place to argue with them, for if they had left me- there I might have been there yet. “I tried to make them think that I. did not understand, but the result of it all was that they turned my pockets in- side out and took all the money I had: Then they piloted me out in great 3160 and told me that I was a ‘valy glud man. ’ I got back to Cairo as soon as I. could, and there my friends told me I might have well expected to have been robbed. ’ ’—Baltimore American. 1'0 BEN 1'. 0 RENE-7 rooms,50n first floor, at 23 Leonard street.
