NEW HAVEN, CT, May g. - New Haven's
last inaugural parade to day was probably the
finest ever witnessed in the State All the reg
iments of the State National Guard were in the
line besides many independent organizations.
The weather was peculiarly favorable
The organizations of both branches of the
legislature was completed Tilton E. Doolittle
Of this city having been elected Speaker of the
House. No business was transacted to-day ex-
cept the ordinary formalities of organization.
The Governors message was read in joint con-
venton in the afternoon. The following is an
abstract:
1t opens with brief discussion of the cur
reucy question in which congratulaton is Of
fered at the recent defeat of the initiation bill by
the executive veto and the attention of the leg
islature is directed to the subject in the hope
that some action may be taken to influence the
action of Congress toward a resumption of
specie payments.
4 The message then proceeds to give the State
statistics. The bonded debt amounts to IS,
0l4,500 at six per cent. interest. During the
year the debt has been reduced S2O7 $40 The
educational affairs of the State are highly eff
ficient. There are $4,000 children in the
schools, 1913 schools and about $500 teachers
The centennial matter is referred to but the
governor thinks the plans of the Commission
are not sufficiently definite for any further
action than the appointment Of State board
of managers.
The governor closes his message with a dis
sertation on the centralizing tendencies of the
federal government and the outrages in South
Carolina and Louisiana.
The Senatorial question will not admit of
the transaction of much business until after
Wednesday when the Democratic caucus will
be held. 1t is claimed that Barnum has the
most strength as he has the most money.

The Truckse correspondent OF the

sring lumber at the railroad near
Truckee have induced capitalists to

ing. II is no less than the construction
Of a fiums from lake Tahoe to Steam
boat Springs, n distance Of sixty-fve
miles. The water would be taken from
the lake at Tahoe City. thence down the
canyon Of the Truckec River, past
Truckeo and Reno. and finally land its
freight at Steamboat Springs, twelve
miles from Virginia City. Lake Tahoe
Is naturally tributary to Truckee. Its
shores, n hundred miles in eircum-
ference, and the region included in its
basin and forming its water shed, COM

lumbermen have never drawn upon this

Chlnaman VS.. Hoodlum.

A short time since, says the Inyo In
dependent. Of August 22d, q sporting
hoodlum named Roberts, alias Belcher.
and his chum. name not given, arrived
in Cerro Condo from Hot Springs. On
the 10Th Roberts felt the need Of q little
ready money. About III o'clock ut night
hs walked into an establishment eccu-
pied rs q wash house by Cinnamon,
whom he drove out, and then quietly
proceeded to 60 through trunks, boxes,
ETC., in search Of something to relieve
his necessities. He found a small box
containing about $3.50. with which he
STATED to walk of, when n OF the
Johns gave him q mortal dose through
the sixth vertebra, shooting from the
rear. The alarm was given; DIR. Grant,
being called. pronounced tho wound in
evitably fatal, a fact which gives general
satisfaction, rs the wounded man had
spent tho day looking for ''any s.
who thought that he was as good ~ he,
that ho might shoot his eye out" be-
sides the sell -evident fact Of this daring
robbery. He did not ask for n exam
nation, aud refused to give any state
ment Of his acts Immediately preceding
the reception Of the shot. He is OF
California birth, % or % years OF age,
and belongs in San Francisco. On COM
plant Of the Constable two Of the Chi
naInen were arrested for the shooting.
John Alexander volunteered TO defend
them as having the courage TO defend
themselves and property. and succeed in
getting them oil, for which he is enti-
tied TO commendation. AT this writing
the wounded hoodlum is yet alive.

Boston to Rival Hsw York.

this Fall who will favor the granting OF
n charter for a railroad from Boston
Harbor through the Hoosac tunnel to

ly OF the farming interests, and Of COM
mercc, manufacture, real estate, and

New York on terms OF equality, both in
regard to freight and passenger fares to

itself to secure the cooperation Of all
persons in the Commonwealth for tho
completion Of the line, and to maintain
the same against all monopolies and
combinations for the permanent adyan-
tages Of the people, not only in the City
OF Boston and along the whole line Of

would do II he hal the power. in the
following. which we extract from its ed

The fact that Mr.. Sutro fooled his
workmen out OF eighty cents per diem

wages to three dollars because the men
refused TO take any more OF his worth
less stock at Ave dollars per share. should
be sufficient TO prove to the miners Of

Sutro that he did these things, and we
defy his hirsling editors TO prove the
contrary. We say that this man. who
arrogates to himself so much, II placed
in power would grind the working class
down to the dust.

A Naked Bride.

BY a strange perversion OF legal prin-
ciples, 1t was supposed by our ancestors
that whosoever married q widow who
was administrator upon the estate OF her
deceased husband, represented insolvent,
and sholld thereby possess himself OF
any property or thing purchased by the
deceased husband, would become an cx-
ecutor de son tort, and would thereby
make himself liable to answer for the
goods Of his predecessor. Major Moses
JOY became enamored OF Mrs. Hannah
Ward. widow Of William Ward, who died
in 1888, leaving an insolyent estate, Of
which Mrs. Ward was administrator.
To avoid the unpleasant penalties Of the
law. on the morning Of her marriage
with Major Joy, Mrs. Ward placed her
sell in a closet, with q tire-woman, who
stripped her OF all her clothing, and
when in = perfectly nude state, she
thrust her fair, round arm through a
diamond hole in the door Of the closet,
the gallant Major clsspcd the hand Of
the buxom widow, and was married in
due form by the %jollisst parson in YER
mont. At the close OF the ceremony the
tire-woman dressed the bride In q COM
plete wardrobe, which tho Major had
provided and caused to DO deposited in
the closet ut the commencement Of tho
ceremony. She came out, elegantly at
tired in silk. satin and lace, and there
was kissing all round.- Montpelier Argus.

WELL INDoKsED.-- The Gift Concerts
in aid of the Kentucky Library are not
at all speculative. The institution is
chartered by the State of Kentucky.
The first prize in the next drawing,
which takes place Nov ember 80, is
$3.50, 900. It is reliable institution,
and some one will get that money.
And that there may be no doubt as to
the honesty of its management, we cite
the fact that the best banks in Louis
vile indorse it, and that Governor
Thomas E. Bramlette. Of Louisville, is
the general manager. An institution
so fathered is certainly deserving of
confidence.
