at Last Under Way.
The Great American Director
on Trial By His Peers.
Governor Cleveland Receiving
Long Lines of Visitors.
rho SWAIN Trial.

WASHINGTON, November l7.-Upor
opening the Swain Court Martial to-day
General Grosvenor of the counsel for the
accused read an objection on the part Of
General Swain to Paymaster General
Rochester sitting as a member Of the
court. He stated the grounds to the OBJ
lection to be that General Rochester is a
material witness in this case. with respect
to the second charge against Swain Of
neglecting to report and take notice Of
the alleged fact that Colonel Morrison had
%fraudulently duplicated his pay accounts,
and also that the accused, having favored
the appointment of Colonel Mcclure to the
Paymaster Generalship at the time Cen
eral Rochester was appointed to that of
fee, this fact being known to the lat
ter. After argument the room was cleared
and when the doors were ~re-opened the
Judge Advocate announced the objection
against General Rochester sitting as a
member of court had been sustained.
General Swain wal then asked whether
he desired to object to any further mem
Der of court. He replied he desired to
do so, and Judge Shellabarger then read
the challenge of Brigadier General Soho
fields right to sit az a member of the
court on the ground that he (Schofeld)
was prejudiced against General Swain
and could not sit in trial as an impartial
judge. The challenge against Schofeld
was not sustained. General Terry was
also challenged and the challenge in his
case was not sustained.
Objection was then made by General
Swain to General Murray on the ground
of prejudice growing out of Swaim's OPP
position to his appointment as Surgeon
General. General Murray, having de-
clared upon his uoir dire that he enter
tanned no prejudice against Swain that
would influence his judgment in this case,
the challenge was withdrawn. The
sci for Swain we're then allowed to ask
Colonies Andrews and Ayres, without
formally challenging these officers,
whether they had formed or expressed any
opinions as to Swaim's guilt or innocence,
and whether they entertained any preju-
dices that would influence their Judgment
in this case. Both having answered in
the negative, court was then organized
with eleven members by the swearing in
Of the members and Judge Advocate.
Latter stated that Swain requested that
subpenas be issued for the Secretary Of
War, General Rochester, Major Carey,
Colonel Barr and Major Scott. Recess
until tomorrow.
The challenge against General Terry
was sustained because he stated he would
prefer not to sit upon the trial and be one
of General Swaim's judges.

Bright OF Free Trade.


LONDON, November l7.-John Bright
in a long letter favoring free trade argues
that since its adoption by ENGLAND, the
price of food and hours of labor have
diminished, while wages have doubled, ho
says. Although trade in England is mo-
m~entarily depressed, the depression is far
greater in protection countries like
Russia, France and America. He con-
cludes by saving that the recent overthrow
of the party of protection and monopoly
in America may prove to be a great bless
ing, and when England and America
have embraced the policy of free indus
try the whole fabric of monopoly through
out the world will totter to its downfall.

ALBANY, N. Y, November l7.-Presi-
dent-elect Cleveland's callers to-day were
numerous. There was a constant stream
in and out of the Executive Chamber all
day. The Governor was accessible to most
of the callers until late in the afternoon.
when he retired to his private room for
consultation with political friends. The
State Board of Canvassers will meet at
the Capitol on Wednesday. Official re-
turns have been received from only forty
of the sixty counties in the State, and the
Board will probably take a recess for a day
or two, in order to allow further returns
to be received before proceeding with the
canvass.

Committee on Sewers.

St. Roman street and the Greene Street
Overflow Sewer Co usidered and Acted
Upon.
The Committee on Sewers met in rooms 10
and IL last evening, Alderman Klenke pre-
siding.
The petition for a sewer in st. Roman
street was first considered. Joseph T.
Whittelsey and others appeared in its favor.
The next matter considered was the build
ing of an overflow sewer at the foot of
Greene street connecting with the East street
sewer, which. as stated by the engineer, would
in measure release the surplus pressure
from the East street sewer on occasions of
heavy rains and prevent the overflow of lat
eral sewers that empty into it causing the
flooding of cellars.
When this petition was brought up Alder
man Klenke resigned the chair to Alderman
Kennedy, he being an interested party, and
went outside the rail with the petitioners and
opponents of the proposed Improvement.
Mr.. Klenke strongly urged the building of
the proposed overflow sewer which had been
petitioned for. He said that people living on
the streets Immediately connected with the
AAncs oSA0ON o0"OA "OAo SACn1Ay nAAOJCA ny
storms. He said that his basement had fire.
quently been overfowed, causing much dam
age to his property.
John WEIGH. who lives on East street, said
that he had been greatly annoyed by the
water setting back on his premises and he
thought the overflow sewer an absolute ne
oessity.
F. B. Mallory, of the firm of Mallory,
Wheeler & Co., opposed the building of the
outlet sewer as proposed. He said that while
the city had an undoubted right to build the
sewer across the premises of Mallory, Wheel
err & Co., yet it would cause a suspension of
work in the factory, and while times at pres
emit were dull, yet the workmen would suffer
more from the delay than the firm. He sug-
gested that the outlet sewer be made at st.
John street. as it would not interfere with
any manufacturing interests and would res
ieve the trouble complained of.
Lewis Elliott, superintendent of the rubber
works, and W. F. Andrews, of the New Ha-
ven Clock company, both gave it as their
opinion that the proposed overflow sewer was
unnecessary.
In executive session the committee voted to
recommend the building of the st. Roman
street sewer.
It was also voted to recommend the build
ing of the overflow sewer at the foot of
Greene street to connect with the East street

The New York Failures.

Talks by Our Prominent Business Mem
Over Speculation Set Down the
Cause Qafte Unan1mOusIy-EverY
SaafsfMctOry Here.
There was an unusual demand for the
morning papers yesterday, the great subject
OF interest being the news from New York
regarding the failures. Yesterday further
developments were awaited. Business men
about town talked the situation over, and 10
was the common opinion that the trouble
was owing to speculation and was confined to
Wall street transactions, and that the general
business outlook of the country was far
from discouraging or gloomy. In the after
noon prominent business men we're discuss
ing the failure of Fisk & Hatch. q concern.
by the way, with which the firm of W. L.
Hatch & Sons represented in this city has no
connection, and it was regretted as it was
thought that the storm had blown over and
that the panicky feeling in Wall street was
snbsiding. Said q prominent business man
yesterday: 81 do not think we have any rea-
son to feel blue over the business outlook.
I thiuk it very satisfactory. There is a fair
amount of business being transacted, and on
the whole our manufacturing interests look
encouraging. Workingmen may not gener-
ally be receiving as high wsges as they did
but the prices of the necessaries of life are
lower, which practically counterbaIances the
lessened wages. think people are pursu-
ing business on a safe, careful basis that au
ours well for an improvement There is no
doubt that New Ravens moneyed interests
are adj right"

Hung Himself.

Swede Ends His Life Because He Was
Tired of Living.
Yesterday morning at O'Clock the land
lady of the boarding house No. Coils
street glancing into a rear window of the
house noticed that one of her boarders, a
Swede named John Rosenquist, was sitting
in his chair near the window with his head
hanging down, and alarmed at the sight she
hurried and called Andrew Ostrum, another
boarder. He came to the scene and took q
close look at the window and said that Rosen-
quist was dead. AS the door to the room
was locked, Michael McGovern, the owner of
the premises, was notified. He got in at the
window and unlocked the door. - The
Swede had hung himself, and all the indica-
tions showed that he had gone at the work
most deliberately to make sure thing of it.
He had fastened curtain cord about ones
eighth of an inch in thickness to a small
hook placed in the door casing, less than
seven feet from the floor, and making
moose placed it around his neck. He ap-
parently adjusted it by sitting on chest,
from which he slid off upon the floor. To
have strangled himself he must have made
extraordinary efforts by throwing his head
backwards and elevating his feet. The cord.
sank deep into the flesh, drawing blood.
When found he was in a sitting posture.
Medical Examiner White in his investiga-
ton of the case said that the deceased must
have been most energetic and persistent in
his suicidal work, and that few men would
have succeeded under the circumstances.
The deceased was forty five years of age and
Ok had hlon6opofkh fFa1a1 nR1r A
Bush, and has wife in Sweden and two
grown sons, who work at the keg factory in
Fair Haven. He had been out of work and
despondeIt. A noise was heard in Rosen-
quist's room at midnight, at which time it is
supposed he hung himself. He told friend
the day before that he was sick of life. He
left no papers or letters assigning a cause for
the deed. The coroner made an invsstigs-
ton and rendered verdict in accordance
with the facts
