All guileless be, commencing with the skies
And as 4 sun to glorify the whe!e

For none are happy, none triumphant here

Our lifeis but a shadow, and, my dear,
The shadows feet

To happiness, oh, strange and cruel fate
All things are wanting, all weseek in vain,
Oriind too late.
What are the boons We crave, each for part,
The hope ofwhich doth still our hearts

Behold those thinkers whom we idolize,
Those heroes, whose command we gladly

Whose names illumine our sombre skies
Where are they flown
They rose like meteors thrO' the wintry air
And dazzled for a moment every eye
Then sunk into the carele5r grave, and there
In darkness lie
Kind Heaven, that knows our bitter griets
and fears,
Takes pity on our vain and empty days,
And bathes each morning with refreshing
tears
Our dusty ways.

Ofwhich each honest heart mus; own the

The notable difference between
the leaders of the contendlng iac-
tions as they appeared Yesterday
and as they came forward for battle
to-day. was in the subdued methods
they instinctively adopted. The
dav of battle had come, the fium-
) mery of dress parade and the empu
; ness of deafening shouts and trum'
; nets and drums were obviously aP-
preciated by all. The Blaine hurraf
of the last two days had been 81

Mr.. Prentiss, of Missouri, could
not understand the object of the
proposition to ignore the action of
the national committee. 4 refusal
to endorse that nomination wsuld
go forward,as stigma on man Who
was to be henored as a citizen, sol
dier and a statesman. Powell Clay
ton bore the mark of his love for the
national flag.
Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt, of
New York, favored the motion of
Mr.. Lodge. 1t was not without
precedent to set aside the action of
the committee. There were but two
delegates to the convention who
held seats in the national commit
tee and the convention should not
be governed in such an important
matter by the action of a body of
outsiders. He hoped that the vote
would be taken by call of the del
egates. 1t was fitting thing for
the convention to selects man of
It's own choice and he hoped that
Mr.. Lynch would be elected tempo
rary chairman of the convention.
Mr.. Carr, of Illinois, argued that
the question to he considered was
whether or not the action of the ma
tional committee had been wise,
prudent and in the interest of the
republican party. If the national
committee had failed in this it
should be set aside, otherwise it
should be sustained. "Was not
Clayton fit man to preside tempo
rarily ?" He was known to many Of
them and they were unwilling that
a stigma should be placed on his
great and grand name, [Applause. ]
by voting against the action of the
national committee. They felt that
it would not be proper to go before
the country to sustain a candidate
OF the convention whose first act
had been to put down a man who
carried an empty sleeve. Applausel
A delegate from South Carolina adj
vocated the election of Lynch but
without meaning, thereby any re
Election upon Clayton. As South
ern republican he wishes the cleo
ton of Lynch. Mr.. Winston, of
North Carolina, supposed the ac-
ton of the national committee had
no more force than mere recOmmen-
dation and with all courtesy to the
committee, he would say that he
preferred somebody else.

rollcall was proceeded with. When

A claim of 100000.
An Important Case Affecting Legatee

An Important Case Affecting Legatees of
the Colt Estate, Hartford.
In the case of LIE Baron B. Colt ct ais. vs.
Elizabeth H Colt ct ais, decided by the Su-
preme court of the United States, the amount
claimed was nearly $500. 900. The exact
amount cannot be determined. The amount
involved, of stock Of the Colts Patent Fire
arms company, was ga shares. At the time
of the death of Colonel Colt this stock was
appraised at $27o per share (par $1eo), but
its value is now uncertain, as it is in the
hands of a few persons and none has been on
the market for years. Beyond this stock
the plaintiffs claimed dividends estimated at
about $3.50, 900.
The Colt estate is all settled excepting as
to the 574 shares The executors, Mrs. Colt
and Nh Jarvis, will now divide this or its
money value, together with several thousand
dollars of dividends accrued upon it, after
dsducting the costs of litigation. 1t Is pos
sibIe that some of the stock will have to be
disposed of by them executors to pay
these costs The entire expense of the lit
| igation, lawyers fees and court costs for
| both sides, is estimated at 500, 600, but the
| largest bills were incurred by the pialntlfs
| for counsel, and they must also pay the
costs. The case has been in court since
| 1881, and has had two trials.
Under the decision of Judge Blatchford of
the Circuit court in 1881, which is now af-
irmed by the Supreme court, the plaintiffs,
LIE Baron B. Colt, of Bristol, r. l., and 9th
ers, come in for small parts of the 574 shares,
the whole of which they had claimed. That
| is to say, they get such an interest in this
residue as their primary bequest of 500
shares entities them to. Estimating the
stock at par, and that the accrued dividends
will nearly balance the costs of litigation, the
division by the executors may be roughly
placed at the following figures:
Mrs Elizabeth II. Colt of Hartford,
$13, 800; intestate estate of s. Colt, being
| for primary shares originally given to Sa-
muel ]. and Elizabeth Colt, deceased, $13,
800; Samuel q. Colt, Caldwell Fl. Colt and r.
W. H. Jarvis, administrator of Harriet
Colt, deceased) $3.50 each; LIE
| Baron B. Colt, Samuel P.
Colt and Mrs. Christopher Colt of
Bristol, R l., and Frank E. De Wolf and
wife of St Louis, 81 $3.50 each; Mrs. Eliza
| beth H. Colt, r. D. Hubbard estate and Il.
W. H. Jarvis, as executors, also the execu-
tors of the estates of E. Fl. Root and L. T.
| Sargent, $500 each.
These are low estimates, as the stock Is
| probably worth considerable above its par
| value.

The absurd statement that I obstructed
the police in the performance of their duty at
Connecticut armory the other evening is cal
culated to do me harm, and hence go out of
my way to notice it.
was acting as special officer at the outside
door on that occasion, and I had not been
into the hall and if they were selling beer 1
did not know it.
When the police entered I did not take
hold of or impede Officer Mcbride or any
other officer, nor did see any attempt made
by anyone at my station outside the door to
offer any obstruction or cause any delay, and
do not believe that any such obstruction, or
attempt at obstruction, was made at that
point. I cannot even account for this
Rroundless charge, but feel assured that
my record in this community is 10 well es-
tablished that this denial Is the only notice 1
need to take of the case.
