AnemocratRc DarkeH.


 The Ansonia Evening Sentinel has the fol- lowing about Aaron Thomas Johnson, a col ored man who has been mentioned with eommendation in Democratic papers as one s'of the many co1ored men who will vote for Cleveland"
 Brudder Aaron Thomas Johnson has ahis- tory. Four years ago he, as the one darkey in the whole town that would be seen in a Democratic procession, was pointed to with pride, and given torch and banner with which to pioneer the following crowd through the woods. The understanding was that for this service, and for the casting of his ballot for the 'fgood man weighing 250 pounds,'' he was to have a new suit of clothes At length the campaign ended and the ides of November came. Brudder John son-as the story goes-had not, as yet, got his suit, and would not budge an inch toward the polls until he could go in 'fdem new clothes.'' So the clothes were procured; but when the new clad darkey went up to vote, it was found that his name was not on the list as freeman, he not being able to read. When demonstrated with, and charged with having known all the time that he couldn't vote, he only grfnned and replied: 'Dat is your bixzness to see dat de names are right on the list Spec Ise got muffin to do about dat" We confess that the party still holds it's own on the colored vote.

 Speculation in stocks to-day on a moderate scale, but prices very unsettled peculators as a rule seemed to be confused as to what course to take or which side of the market would be the most advantageous This state of affairs due to sew eral causes but mainly to the increasing prospects of trunk line war and the possibility that the bull cques would go in and bid prices up again in order to squeeze the interest which has greatly increased during the last few days Notwithstanding this certainty, the feeling generally bearish while the supporting cques seemed to only put forth their
 efforts when the decline threatened to be too fast large. The cliques too seemed desirous of waiting developments in the trunk line troubles before in creasing their holdings to any greater extent The

Court Notes.


 George Butler, who has charge of the mails at the Union depot, was before the City court yesterday morning on a charge brought by Henry E. Turner and wife, tourists from Boston, that on Saturday evening last MT
 Butler used profane language toward them because they would not get out of the way of his truck on which were the mail bags Mr. Turner claimed that he also pushed himself and wife along in front of the ! truck Judge Studley asked him if he knew the United States government prohibited
 swearing among its employees. Butler said he was excited at the time. The accused asked for continuance because he had not time to get witnesses and also on account of his brother-in-law, who will be buried to- day The case was continued until next Tuesday.
 An Italian named Venegugo Peterous was before Judge StudAey yesterday morning for stealing one white and one blue stocking from bale of goods at Starin's dock Monday night. The Italian was found at the dock with the property in his possession. Judge Studley said he presumed there was good deal of such stealing going on. The case
 
 sence of the interpreter, Paul Russo.
 There was a farther hearing in the embez-
 clement case brought against Rev. Andrew
 J. Chambers, who was charged with selling
 four copies of Appleton's encyclopedia which he had not pa1d for. Judge Blydenburgh, counsel for Chambers, stated that he had found the whereabouts of the encyclopedia that the Appletons claim and that it would be soon brought to New Haven, so that Lawyer Townsend could replevy if he desired. MT. Blyden-
 burfh said the books were the property of a respectable citizen of this State who acquired them by legitimate purchase Scribner's agent with whom Chambers traded for the books, gave MT. Blydenburgh his informa- tion. He requested that the name of the owner of the books be not mentioned, as he did not wish one of his customers troubled at all by the matter. MT. Townsend asked
 that the date of the continuance, which was made to allow the books to be brought ! here, be set three weeks hence, in order that he might communicate with Appleton's agent, who had been called to California Judge Stud1ey fixed the date accordingly. Before c. R. Weldon, justice of the peace was on trial yesterday the case of Adolph Hoffmeister vs. Andrew and Huldah Parker James Henry and Horace W. Cooper. It is an action to recover S65. 69 for some work on
 tin roofing done in 1882. It appears that Henry was the contractor to build house or an addition to house for the Parkers. MT. Cooper is father-in-law of one of the other { defendants, and from all that was disclosed there appeared to be vast difference of < opinion as to who ought to pay for the bill. For plaintiff, Penney; for defendants, Dow & Pond.
 Justice Zacher in Branford yesterday morn | ing found L. Lewis guilty of assaulting Rob \ ert Pollock with intent to kill last Saturday ' afternoon, and bound him over to the Supe- rior court, the bond being $500.
