been demonstrated in two instances
In the past two months. In the
Speakership canvass all the Radical
papers supported RANDALL. What
was the result ? He was badly de-
teated. In the Senatorial contest
lately closed in Ohio. the Republican
press, as unit, supported PENDLE-
TON. The result is 80 fresh in the
minds OF the people that we need
not repeat it. Our advice to aspri-
ing Democratic politicians is, AVOID

Another Voice on the Subject-A Sim-
 liar Project Some Years AgO-A Plan
 once Broached by MT. 0. s. Ma1tby.
 A prominent New Haven gentleman writes from New York as, follows: Fifteen years
 ago, plan was submitted to 8 few individu-
 a1s, which, if then it had been consummated,
 would now have proved 8 blessing indeed.
 The writer accompanied MT. c. s. Maltby,
 late of your city, through certain tract of,
 say, 200 acres, south of the Derby turnpike,
 extending to point where the Derby rail-
 road would intersect the land, and having
 entrances from near the waterworks on West
 Chapel street, besides others in various
 places Mr. Maltby then and there suggested the feasibility and the appropriateness of the place for a future cemetery for New Haven. He then controlled the property, and perhaps does so to this date. It could have been had for comparatively small amount of money I for the purpose.
 The plan suggested by MT. Maltby was fol 1 few gentlemen to each become purchaser to the amount of SIG, 900, to make improve ! ments suitable for the end in view and dis pose of lots as fast as required, requiring nc profit upoE the investment, but to be reim bursed, principal and interest, when sufficient sales should have been made to do so. The | late Edward A. Mitchell had consented to be one purchaser. How many more MT. MaltbJ had in his mind was not known, but as we all know Mir. Maltby does nothing by halves | it may be inferred that with his heart sci upon the project he would have acted witt | his usual hberality.
 ! It was understood that the Catholic churcE | would then have entered heartily into the ar rangement, the Catholic grounds only to bt a distinct part of the cemetery Funera processions could easily have been conducted I over the Derby railroad (entrance at the south end), while the distance even by car riages would not be farther from the city l than are many of the cemeteries of other | cities.
 I The idea was then impressed upon thu | mind that such resting place for the deat might also become resting place for thu | dead of more than one town between New | Haven and Naugatuck.
 ! The writer is not now aware who is owne of the property, but would suggest the wis 1 dom of the scheme and the locality to thos' who have the matter in charge. There ar' hill and valley, as well as forest, and alst i plenty of running water with which to foot l the valleys.

Funeral of Edward stevens.

A large number of sorrowing friends, in c1uding many of our leading citizens, attend ed the funeral of the late Edward Stevens, which took place yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the residence of the family on Wooster Place. The clock manufactory, with which the deceased was so long and promi- nently connected, was represented by dele gation of the employees who attended in a body. The services were conducted by the Rev. MT. Meserve, pastor of Davenport Con gregational church, with which place of worship the deceased had been identified for years as generous benefactor and worthy member. The pastor paid touching and beautiful tribute to the memory of the de- ceased and his sterling worth as church man, an employer and citizen, and the pastors words gave suitable utterance to the regard and esteem in which the deceased was held The remains lay in a broadcloth covered casket at the head of which was a large pillow of ferns and roses, inscribed in the center of which in purple immortel1es were the words fsEmp1oyes of the N H. c. Co.," Upon the lid was a profusion of cal las, ferns and roses, and at the foot upon a small stand was very beautiful bouquet of chrysanthemums
 The bearers were ex-Governor James E. English, President Hiram Camp of the New Haven Clock company, ex-Mayor H. M. Welch and Messrs. F. w. Pardee, Henry Smith, H. A. Harrison, B. H. Douglass and Hugh Galbraith The interment was in Ev- ergreen cemetery.

A Fort Trumbuu Soldiers Attempt
 To Commit Suicide.
 William L. Dutton, a soldier of the garri- son at Fort Trumbull, was before the Police court last Thursday on a charge of intoxica- ton and was found guilty by the court, which imposed a fine of $5 and costs. After his release, upon payment of his fine, Dutton was taken to the fort and confined in the guard house. Saturday afternoon he was taken from the guard house and while being reprimanded by the command ing officer for his conduct applied most insulting and obscene epithets to him, and suddenly breaking away, fled. A ser geant and two men were sent in pursuit and succeeded in capturing Dutton on the track between the fort road and the round house. but as they were returning with him in GUS tody he again broke away and threw himself in front of approaching locomotive en- zine, with the intent of committing suicide He was caught by the soldiers and pulled out of danger The mans brain was probably disordered by excessive indulgences in drink, which will account for his outrageous con- duct towards his superior officer and subse- quent reckless attempt to end his life.

The New York Times says of the ''Seven Ravens:" ''It is praised by all who witness it. As one critic says: Tt far surpasses all previous plays of it's class in the magnifcence of it's scenery, the gorgeousness of it's cos tunes and the splendor of it's ballet. Its beauty is so transcendent that words made quately portray it; the pen may praise, but not paint-may commend, but not describe it. And this is true, especially of the ballet led by the bewitching and incomparable De Gillert." The piece is booked for an early appearance at Carlls Opera House.
