BEECHER TALKS ON POLITICS.

For High License and Approval of
 President Cleveland.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was interviewed on political ques- tions to-day with the following result: 'It has been said that you advocated high li- cense plank in the Republican platform. Are you disappointed in the action of the party in ignoring the question: GAS between high license and prohibition, as one is possibili- ty and the other impossibility, I am in favor of high license and local option. The managers of the Republican parry did what they thought best. They neglected that question"
 ''What do you estimate the strength of the Prohibitionists in New York States' ssMy impression is that it represents one-third Democratic and two-thirds Republican. It will draw in that ratio from the par ties."
 "What is the actual position of the Inde- pendents in this eampaigna' ''The Inde- pendents are not so much interested in either party. They are interested in both parties in so far as they represent the reforming ele- ment. believe very large section in the Democratic party believe in honest civil ser vice reform. Perhaps rather larger propor tion of the Republicans also believe in it. Ii these can work together it will be for the best interests of the country and for the purifcation of both parties."
 ''Does not the Republican platform con demn President Cleveland and his policya' ''I utterly dissent from that platform. A platform does not mean anything. It is nothing but net to catch fish with. And therefore, in judging platform, I judge il not so rigidly. On the other hand the Dem ocratic platform has more faults and not SC many excellences."
 s'Is not President Cleveland's course { strict adherence to his party's platform?' President Cleveland has moved slowly 1T the political lines marked out in his origina letter"

TORN FROM HER HEAD. Amelia Williams Has Her Scalp Torn From Her Head at a Court Street EaefnrY.


 Amelia Williams, the fourteen year old daughter of Henry Williams of GA View street, is employed at Meyer, Strouse & Co.'s corset factory on Court street in the stitching department with about one hundred and eighty other girls. Millie, as her companions called her, was at work usual yesterday and about half past 10 o'clock in the morning, as she was talking with the girl at the next ma chine, her bobbin slipped from her hands and fell to the floor, rolling under her machine. AS Millie stopped to pick up the bobbin her long hair, which hung loose from her head, caught in the belt of the revolving shaft, which runs the length of the room under the benches about ten inches from the floor, and she was thrown violently to the floor. Before the girl could save herself her hair was caught in the rapidly revolving shaft, and as the shaft revolved for the second time the girls scalp was torn | from her head down nearly to the eyelashes, and her left ear was also torn off. She stag gered out into the room and fell into the | arms of Foreman Moulton before the other | girls in the room knew hardly what had hap pened, but when they saw the blood stains they began to screech, and some tainted, | while che men in the room turned pale as | they saw the scalpless girl. in the arms of | Foreman Moulton. Engineer Myers, who was in the engine rooms, heard the girl shriek, and thinking that an accident simi- lar to the one which happened some years ago had occurred he quickly stopped the en- zine and rushed up into the stitching room | and cutting the scalp from the belting and feeling that it was still warm he separated the hair as best he could, so it would not be inside the scalp, and placed it back on the girls head and held it there, having heard that if the scalp was placed back on the head while still warm it might grow on again. The girls in the room were dismissed for the day and the girl was carried into small room where she WAS
 made comfortable as possible by Doctors Linquist and Frank Whittemore until the ambulance arrived, when she was taken to
 the hospital where the scalp was sewed on, and late last evening the girl was getting along nicely and will probably recover.
 Should the scalp not adhere the grating pro- | cess will have to be resorted to if the girl
 lives, as was done in the case of Ann Farley
 who met with similar accident some years <! ago. MT. Adler of the Corset company will
 see that the girl has the best of care and al
 expenses will be paid by the company

 At a meeting of the Committee on Ordinances t neld te aso eYenmg pr Hubbard appeared in regard IeiIord M Pavements at the citys expense, and said expense, first because it is the duty of the city to preseI those streets which have the Te1ford pave often enough, and this makes tn the street streets muddy. ana the city carts come up and gather this mud up, Mhich is very unhealthy and which is carried into t9e lungs ana eyes of the people and causes all are kept like mud holes and they are also injurious to health, as the damp air which rises is very bad of this kind result from the damp air It is very necessary that an ordinance should be passed to hose, as they flood everything and e damp air con stantly hangs over the place, being very injurious streets would be less than what ia paid out for the reRairng Of them caused by this overwetting and third and property owners pay the rest where the Health and said that agreed to all n pr aabbap % had said and thought the ordinance should most certainly be passed.
 Police Commissioner Baldwin also favored such ordinance.
 remedy was the sprinkling carts and hose, and as many ma or these sprnkers have been worn out and matter ought to be put in the hands of the Board of Public Works.
 Clerk Waldron of the Board of Public Works said that during three years the cost of repairing the streets has been $60,45005 and sure fromf forty to sixty per cent of this amount could be saved by judciOuS watering.
 Selectman Feldman said that this thing would never be done properly unless some board of the city had It In charge for long private parties water the streets they will use too much water.
 Engineer Hill said that in order to have good Teford pavements it is necessary that watering by private parties should be forbidden.
 Councilman Whately appeared and said It is all very nice to do ths but there tive sides to this story. Why was not an ordinance proposed that as sessed the people living those streets for the terlng, but not making the poor widow woman who works for her bread pay for the watering of those streets?
 The committee voted to recommend that such an ordinance be passed.
 Professor Brewer appeared in regard to the peti- ton Tor an ordinance for the licensing of newsboys and bootblackS and favored the sSing the ori- nance The committee recommended that such an ordinance be passed.

HARTFORD, Oct. 2.-P. T. Barnum has withdrawn his $5O,O0O libel suit instituted a short time ago against the Sunday Globe of this city. MT. Barnum suspected that the correspondent of the Globe at Bridgeport, who wrote the article alleging that Jumbo was killed Intentionally for advertising pur- poses, was the man who, year ago Christ
 mas, attempted to blackmail him through a New York daily. The editor of the Globe having thoroughly investigated the case found this to be the truth and the allegations regarding Jumbos death false, gave the cor respondents name to MT. Barnum and also discharged him. MT. Barnum has no dispo- sition to prosecute the man, but will make him sign bond never to write another line of any kind regarding him or his business.

 NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-The Brooklyn Inde- pendent Republican committee of one hun dred at meeting tonight adopted resolu- tions warmly approving President Cleve- lands administration and recommending the Republican State ticket Rev: Henry Ward Beecher made a speech upholding every mans duty to be perfectly independent in politics. He was Democrat as far as President Cleve land was concerned, but Republican so far as the present candidates of that party in this State were concerned The mugwumps were in a position analogous to that of the war Democrats twenty-five years ago who forsook their party in order to support 8 great principle that was higher than party Afterward they largely returned to their par ty lines. A man should use parties, not all low himself to be used by them.

 of Bills Lost-Other Items of Inter-
 est.
 Jasper Palmer, of North Haven, came to town yesterday with a roll of bills amounting to thirty-fve dollars intending to make number of purchases. He went into several places, buying small articles in each. At length he went to Bradley Brothers, and when he went to get his money to pay for the purchases he had ordered he found that 1t was missing. He immediately went back and hunted in every store he had been into, but without success. He thinks that the money must have been stolen from his pock- ct while he was waiting in some store. Frank Bunnell was riding bicycle Thurs day night and into 8 Northford milk team. The handle of the bicycle was broken and young Bunnell was somewhat shaken up, but no damage was done otherwise. Warden H. H. Strong states that the bor- ough will not be ready to put on the new | men for police duty for some two weeks. It | was reported in a city paper that they would go on duty tonight.
 Druggist John T. Hillhouse observed a ! couple of fat quail demurely picking around ! in his garden the other morning. He made haste with his gun, but when he was ready | to shoot the birds had flown. The hunting has been good on Fair Haven Heights for the ! past few days and many huntsmen have been | out.

PITTsBURG, Oct 2.-A terrible accident happened at an early hour this morning at the Solar iron works by which several per sons were fatally and number seriously scalded The night turn had just ceased work and were in the act of leav- ing the works when, without warn ing, the end of the mud drum blew out, spreading consternation everywhere. Thou sands of bricks, iron, heavy tools and pieces of machinery were hurled in every direction, followed instantly by a dsluge of stifing steam. Lights were extinguished and the fifty terror-stricken employees in their frantic efforts to escape can be bet ter imagined than described. Dust and dirt so disfgured the in jured men that much difficult ty was experienced in identifying them. The greatest confusion existed. Men, women and children rushed frantically about. The moans of the injured mingled with the shouts of the frightened people. The May ors office was promptly notified and physi- clans and policemen were hurried to the mill. The scenes at the mill after the explosion were heartrending. One by one the victims were carried out, covered with ashes and bruised and bleeding from their wounds. The injured were found lying in all positions. Some of them were so far away from the battery of boilers that it seemed impossible that they could have been injured by the explosion. Andrew Stine had his skin com pletely boiled from head to foot, and he also inhaled the scalding steam. In this condi- ton he started on 8 run for home, and was met by his father, into whose arms he fell and tainted. Thomas Cato and John Murray died at the hospital, and several others are not expected to recover. Seventeen persons in all were injured.
