THE MASS MEETING.

( executive committee, VINO stated
the object of the meeting to be to
elect delegates 20 the Ruston Con-
ventiOn which is TO he held on
Sept. l., and to transact such other
business as might come before the
meeting. Mr.. Gilioil nominated
q. L. Boney for chairman OF the
meeting, and Maj. Cochran nomi-
mated Geo. W. Montgomery. Both
nominations were seconded, and
considerable discussion took place.
Mr.. Boney withdrew from his
nomination thereby putting his
friends at sea, and Gen. L. :.
Dennis, Geo. NJ. Long, W. H.
Harvey were nominated, but all
declining, the nomination Of Mr..
Montgomery was, on motion, made
unanimous. Mr.. F. NJ. Dawson
was elected Secretary, without op-
position.
The first proposition which was
agreed to was to appoint delegates
in proportion to the strength of the
four candidates-Murdock, King,
Wells and Lot, and the chairman
of the meeting stated that he would
so appoint them in the absence of
specific instructions to the contrary,
but there being a question as to
how the strength Of each candidate
was to be determined, and Mr..
Mcclellan having read a series Of
of resolutions, which if adopted
would divide the delegation be-
tween Wells, King and Lott, and
leave the Murdoch men to suck
their thumbs, this enterprising
scheme was voted down.
Mr.. Mcclellan finally moved
that a vote by ballot be taken for
the candidates, and that after the
second ballot the candidate receiv-
ing the lowe number of votes he
dropped, and at each successive
ballot thereafter, the candidate re-
ceiving the lowest number of votes
be dropped, until one candidate
received a majority Of the votes.
This was agreed to, and the ballot
ing began.
The first ballot resulted:
King 80,
Murdoch 81,
Wells 33,
Lott 20.
Total 122.
The second ballot was then taken
with this result:
Murdoch 81,
Wells 30,
King 81,
Lot Is.
Total l20,
which dropped Col. Lott.
The third ballot resulted,
Wells 10,
King IS,
Murdoch 81,
Total 10,
Which dropped Mr.. Murdoch.
The fourth ballot was then taken,
there being only two candidates,
and resulted i'll this way.
King 65,
Wells 56,
Total 121.
Mr.. Mcclellan then moved that
the nomination Of Gen. King be
made unanimous and that Col.
Lott be declared the second choice
of Madison Parish. This met
with a storm of opposition with
cries of Murdoch for second choice,
and Wells for second choice, and it
was finally decided to take vote
for second choice which was done
with this result:
Murdoch sc.
z Wells 80.
On motion of Mr.. Mcdowell the

TO PETITION THE BOARD.


 The women's Christian Temperance
 Union to Petition she Hoard of Police
 COmmissioners For a MatrOn-A
 Providence Omcfals' Opinion.
 The Wonen's Christian Temperance Union of this city will soon present peti- tion to the Board of Police Commissioners
 praying for the appointment of matron to
 the police office. The Rev. John O. Collins,
 who is greatly interested in the matter, yes
 terday received letter from Mrs. J. K. Bar
 ney, who recently visited. this city. h her
 letter she gave the opinion of Chief of Police
 Childs of Providence, Mrs. Barney's home, regarding the advisability of having motrons in police offices.
 MT. Childs' experience in the care of pris- oners in the Providence station where there is matron located is related to Mrs. Barney
 as follows: "All female prisoners received at this station are immediately placed under the care of the matron, who has charge of the prisoners dock, where they await their arraignment or trial before the police and justice courts, and continues her supervision until they are discharged from custody or taken away to be committed to the institu- tions in Cranston.
 'tShe also searches all of the female prison CTS before commitment to the cells, many of whom are charged with. larceny and are suspected of having stolen property in their possession. In addition to the large number of prisoners brought to the central station many insane persons of both sexes are detained for safe keeping to await transpor- tation to hospitals both in and out of the State. The fitness of having matron for females who are bereft of reason and entirely regardless of all the ordinary proprieties of life is obvious to every mind. I am free to many reasons great improvement on our previous methods of doing such business. It also relieves our officers from the execution of many unpleasant and delicate duties, the
 necessity of which has not generally been understood and for the performance of which we have sometimes been severely criticised. J

The TayIor-MaIIory Suit Discussed.
 Before Judge Shipman yesterday in Hart ford was argued demurrer to the bill of complaint recently brought in the United States Circuit court by James s. Taylor, of Danbury, against E. A.. Mallory & Sons, of the same town. The suit was to restrain de- fendants from using certain machin cry for sizing hats, which machinery is alleged to have been secured by plaintiffs patents. The complaint was filed October 18th, 1886. On December 9th defendants filed their de- murrer to the bill, stating that there were six separate and distinct matters and causes al- legged. For infringement of letters patent No. 263, ,075 for the hat scalding and felting machine; for infringement of letters patent No. 263, ,076 for machinery for felting hats; for infringement of letters patent No. 279, : 843 for hat scalding and felting machine; for infringement of letters patent No. 2S0,- 095 for hat sizing or felting machine; for in- fringement of letters patent No. 297, AT for method and machine for scalding and felting hat bodies. It also stated that these matters were so different in their nature that they could not properly be joined in one suit. After short argument by counsel Judge Shipman ordered the complaint dismissed
 with costs, though allowing plaintiff to DrlnR auOtner bul1 Ou any O1 tuo 1ottofs patent and providing that defendants shall accept service of subpoena and the bill in such new suit if brought.
 The original bill of complaint comprises the customary blank forms in patent cases, and the blanks are filled in the same hand writing as the signature of the plaintiff. The demurrer was filed December 6, and on the Eth Lawyer McMahon, of New Milford, en. tered an appearances for plaintiff. It is said that Mr. Taylor prepared his own case and wanted no attorney until he found the bill attacked for multifariousness. In bringing suits in patent cases Mir. Taylor will probably come to the belief that in the end it is eco nomical to have complaints properly drawn, as he is now Dlulcted in costs on the present case. Elk Governor Ingersoll, of this city, was one of the counsel in this case.

John Laight0n--A Well Known Mem
 ber of Hiram Lodge.
 MT. John Leighton, who died in Norwich, Conn.,, was for some time in his earlier life a resident of this city and pupil of Jones & Tenny, portrait painters on Chapel street. Later he opened a studio here and was very successful as an artist in oil portraiture. He was a well known member of Hiram lodge of Free Masons in this city, having joined in 1868. Some twelve years ago he removed to Norwich and associated himself with his brother, William s Laighton, former pho tographic operator for N. Moulthrop of this city, in the photographic and portrait busi ness, where they have been eminently suc- cessful, building up large trade. MT. Leighton was of Quaker percentage, from whom he inherited the candor and sterling honesty which characterize that scot. As a man he was an honor to ais parents and up- right and straig ghtforwsrd in all his dealings with his fel ow men. Although he never held any official position in the Masonic fra ternity he was well known by his brethren AS a firm adherent to the tenets of the order, supporting them by his word and example on every occasion. This makes the sixth member Hiram lodge has lost by death this year, viz., George Augur, John F. Storer, Dexter R. Wright, Frank D. Bacon, Louis P. Morehouse and John Leighton.

He Likes the Capitol but Wants the

 Colonel Robert G. Ingerson visited Hart ford yesterday on private business, but took look about the Capitol and got acquainted with some of the States lawmakers. He great ly admired the building, but wanted to see some of the obsolete statutes in regard to the observance of Sunday wiped from the statute books. ''If the people want to rest, " said he, Get thom rest; but if I don't want to rest don't like to be compelled to do so." He expressed his great pleasure at the conveniences afforded by the Capitol in the suites of rooms and the beauty of the design and excellence of finish. The lower floor he spoke exceedingly complimentary of.
 Says the Times: One of the employees in the building after he found out who the colonel was said, as he saw him enter the carriage: ''The time will come before long when he'll find out whether there's devil in hell or not. When he meets him he'll step up and cordially shake hands with him 0
