Notwithstanding that he was accounted a

The New York Steamboat Company

opportunity for excursionists to lay over
and witness the fireworks Monday evening
Gossip and scandal news has been so
dull in Hartford lately that the Sunday
papers are obliged to resort to bantering
controversy on their respective clrculatlons
in order to preserve their wonted fresh
ness.
A man named Michael Reardou charged
with bastardy by maiden named Mary
Rooney has got his name on the court reg
ictar 0f ia 10 p
term. We do not know whether Michael
contemplated getting into politics and run
ming for President.
The Labor League met again Thursday
evening, and after a thorough discussion
OF the situation resolved to continue regu
lar meetings. A business committee of one
from each ward was selected and plan
of action is to be mapped out Immediately
for the fall campaign. The League meets
again on Friday evening July 16. All
earnest workers are requested to send In
their names for active membership.
An elderly man with grey beard and in
telligent looking, might be seen on Ann
street Friday noon, occasionally stopping
on his journey to sing snatches of old songs
and hymns, keeping time with gesticulations
of hands and feet. ''Nellie Gray" and
''Sweet Bye and Bye" were among his
repertoire. He evidently very badly
"off;" yet one of the kind for whom only
the State is kindly solictous for his comfort
and preservation.
When the first news reached the city
of "Collie" Colts yacht Dauntless having
been wrecked on her return from the
Marblehead race-course, it was suggested
to send the flag up to half mast on the City
Hall building, but the second dispatch
stating that she was not badly bruised kept
down the emblem of mourning. We should
think that Collie would now go slow for a
while, seeing that the firm is RUNNING only
eight hours day and not every day at
that.
Hartford's stBlack Maria" has been
attached for costs in the Garvie injunction
case, brought to recover expenses for his
efforts in striving TO prevent committees of
the Common Council from taking pay for
committee services. As this vehicle has
been superseded by the new patrol wagon,
it is thought there will be no interference
in his getting all twill bring. Some of
the local papers are making point of rid
iculing Mr.. Garvies actions in this matter,
which leads other folks to believe that Mr..
Garvie was about right.
Mammoth Posters have come from New
Britain announcing a grand reunion picnic
of the several assemblies K. of l.. there
on Tuesday, July 6, at Rentschler's Park.
The program is very diversified, consisting
of ball games, f'handicaps," wheelbarrow
races, ana the like, with prizes for the
lucky ones; and Edward King, Col. Hinton,
and James Quinn of Home Club" notoriety
of New Y rk, with Robert Pyne of Hart
ford are announced TO speak to the
assembled multitude. If stormy, the
affair will be postponed to the next fair
day.
John Doody, deck hand of the steamer
''Citv of Richmond" committed suicide at
Glastonbury Thursday afternoon by jump
ing into the river under one of the paddle
wheels as the boat was leaving the wharf.
1t is reported that he sought admission to
the Hartford hospital recently, but was
refused owing to the nature OF his disease.
Probably j Ohm suffered from want of cash
or credit. However, the way of the trans
gressor is hard. If the unfortunate had
spent his leisure hours in the perusal of
such papers as THE EXAMINER, his mind
would receive different bent and his body
different burial
The knights of Labor of Hartford a. e
now being accused of capturing some of the
party machinery and the offices in last
city election, which of right belong to good
square Democrats untinctured with the
spirit of Communism and bomb throwing
anarchy Some of the managers are said
to feel sore over it, and swear by the great
Jehovah and the n-Electric Congress,
that the like shall not occur again if the
whole thing must be transferred into the
hands of the black Republicans, with whom
all the respectable" and conservative
Democrats voted at said election for the
respectable" Republican Mayor. What a
strange kind of creature democracy i:
growing to be.
Our esteemed friend, Mr.. M. f. Scanlar
of the Connecticut Catholic, is again in
the papers as having had another promo
ton, not technically, but financially
He mas been transferred to the post OF
Superintendent of Castle Garden, down in
the book as worth 50, 600 per annum, but il
is said that certain perquisites cause it tx
be much higher. We congratulate Mr.
Scanlan on his good fortune, and the rec
ognitition of the services of his journal fol
'fCIeveland and Reform and turning thu
rascals OUT" in the last campaign. W.
only wish that all this success might have
brought some measure of benefit to thu
thousands that caused the "change." Blu
then, perhaps, it was not meant to "tak'
in" the-''rabble."
