A safe weighing nearly two tons fell down the stairway west of Kingsley 6 Miller's store on Asylum street, in Hartford, yester- day, injuring John Flanagan and Charles Holcomb, who were holding the safe from the under side as it was being hoisted up the long stairway. Flanagan saw the safe top bling towards him and tried to dash through between it and the banisters. The space was very narrow and his leg was caught by the falling safe, knocking the kneepan two inches out of place. It was 6 remarkable es- cape from instant death. He was taken to his home in a hack. Holcomb's head was badly cut. and he was attended by Dr. Ab- rama

 daYs
 A gentle morning sun smiled upon Meri- den as she began the last day of the State fair and the Silver City entered upon the days pleasure and amusement with as much zest as though the fair had just been opened
 The crowds of people from the back dis
 tricts found something novel wherever they
 turned, and the many side shows and fakirs
 raked in their full share of shining ducats,
 which few minutes before jingled in the
 unsuspecting farmers pockets.
 The. attendance seemed small to one who
 had seen the big crowd of Thursday, but it
 can be safely said that <, ,500 people visited the
 grounds yesterday afteanoon. The week has
 been most successful in every way.
 During the afternoon the work of undoing
 the many fanciful adornments and exhibits
 went on very rapidly, and before evening the
 beautiful bowers, artistic arches and shining
 ships of wheat and barley had been denaolish- ed by the same hands that erected them three or four days ago.
 The great masses of fruit were thrown here and there and everyone helped them selves to the tempting bits. Apples, water melons, pears, plums, cakes, everything was at the mercy of visitors, and apt tasters they showed themselves.
 During the day the exhibition of horses similar to that of yesterday was held. The judges were 0. B. Boardman and Grove ". Curtis of Hartford and Emory Morse of Wallingford. Several classes of horses were shown and prizes awarded. The exhibition | of saddle, farm and draft horses was held in \ the afternoon ss was the blowing match also. The Town hall was the scene of much ac- \ tivity throughout the day. The exquisite | adornment of the interior is admired by everybody. The Woman's Relief corps have
 8 tastefally arranged quarters and sell cool \ drinks and many little knick knRcks. Prof. O. R. Gleason, the horse educator, \ was one of the features of the fair. He gave \ daily exhibitions of his skill on obstinate | and spirited horses before the grand stand t contortionist, also amused the crowds be \ tween heats and races by his peculiar antics The afternoon trotting was called at | o'clock instead of 9. because of the foul races on the programms. The day was per N feet and the track in fine condition. In the \ first heat of the 2:40 class Little Mack easily ' took the lead and maintained it to the | finish, although closely followed at the \ finish by Jeffersonian and George Purdy | Little Mack and George Purdy started ever \ in the second heat, but the latter broke and | ran nea-ly quarter around. Jeffersoniar \ crossed the wire first and Little Mack was put back to last place for running. The con ' test of the third heat was between George Purdy and Little Mack. The first half wa \ trotted evenly, but both horses broke when near the finish. They regained themselves however, Little Mack coming in first, but
 was set back for running. The fourth heat was evenly trotted and George Purdy was winner.

Career Ola Young SPECTATOR.

Edward Preble, the misguided son of the
plaintiff in the suit Of Sarah a. Prehle
against Bates & Valley at Boston, gave his
testimony 10 the Case yesterday. He looks
little like q man who would lose his money
in reckless stock speculetions, much less rob
his mother OF a comfortable fortune and
squander it ia blind obedience to the IN
structions Of othefa. His testimony was
mainly devoted 20 the details ofstock trans
actious bet @een himself aud the firm OF
Bates 4 Valley, and revealed q strange
story Of the deception and robbery of q los
ing mother. Ha began specializing In Cali.
tornia stocks in 1879. and first took stock be-
longing 10 his mather in the fall otthat year,
and then took charge Of the key to the
box containing bis mothers securities. BY
the summer Of 1882 he had lost in specu
latiou his own money and $50 900 in
stocks and bonds belonging to his mother.
From his testimony it appeared that during
that time he was aware of his approaching
ruin. A large pile of checks bearing his
signature were testimony TO his reckless ex
t%rayagance. After the crash came, he said
he made a precarious living as a csnvasser
for books and Il writer for magazines, and Is
now q clerk in a Law Office. The plaintiff Is
the widow Of William Pitt Preble, son ofthe
famous Commodore PEBBLE. William WAS II
Judge of the Supreme Court OF Maine, one OF
the United States Commissioner TO settle
claims with Canada, and the u"lted States
Minister to Holland, while the defendants
are members Of the stock brokerage firm OF
Bates & Valley of Boston. They were sued
TO recover the value Of $50 900 in stocks ard
bonds, which, the plaintiff alleges, they in
duoed her sen to extract from her vaults sDd
risk in speculation. His career 90 q fnan-
cier was brought to a close in 1884, when,
after having wasted his mothers fortune, be
was arrested for enlightenment. The case
against him was settled before it reached
the courts.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Dec II. 1883
Among the strangers ct the Capitol to
1ay was Mr.. Park Agnew, the republican
candidate for Congress in the Alexandria
district at the iate election. Mr.. Agnew
was there with Mr.. Mertins of Cumberland,
to see Representative McComss and induce
him to urge the Senate Finance Committee
10 amend the tariff bill so as to provide for a
reduction in the duty on sugar imported 10
hocsneads so as TO revive the shook indus

ed contestipg General Lees seat, replied tha.
no did not, adding that he had received q

ponepts, and that too, without the loss OF tho
:esuect, so far as he could learn, OF a single
one of the latter, and that ne was certainly
not gCing to do anything to ai;erthat feeling.
Mr.. Agnew also said that while there may
have been some irregularities at the cleo
lion, he Cid DOT think they were sufficient
to change the result, and that at elections II
was ouly natural that both parties should
take oil possible advantages, aud that the
democrats ir his State had the best oppor-
!unity for that at the late election because
,hey had the election machinery in their

hone showed his good sense and his regard
for his party's welfare in refusing to sur
reader his power Of appointing the chair
men of the republican couaty committees.
While none of the Congressional delega
ton from Maine has received any private
iotelligeace corrohorating the newspaper
report that Mr.. Blaine has been rendered
and has accepted the position of Secretary
of State in Mr.. Hsrrison's Cabinet, every
one Of them believes that such will be the
case, and several of them are in momentary
expectation of receiving private dispatches
10 that elsct. Knowing republicans about
the Capitol say that Mr.. Quay has stopped
pushing MIR. Wsnamaker for the Post or
flee Department. which place ne comedies
TO MIR. P,att, or New York, and that in view

MALONE AGAIN.-The intimate friends
of General Malone cay they feel confident
that General Harrison will give no heed 10
the protests that bis opponents in the re-
publican party in this State propose to
make to his being recognized BY the incom.
ing administration as the head of the party.
They also think that the South should be
represented in the incoming cabinet, and
Virginia should be the State to furnish that
representative in the person of the ex-Seua-
tor. The position 10 which General Ma
hone aspires is Postmaster General, and his
friends are supporting him vigorously for
that portfolio. Last night a secret confer.
ence of the chief leaders of his faction was
held in Petersburg. The object of the con
ference is kept q secret but it is said that it
was 10 the interest OF Malone for o cabinet
position. It is not improbable that at this
conference a series of resolutions will be
adopted snd forE srded toPre.ident Harrison
reviewing the political situation in Virginia

mittee from the anti-MahOns wing of the
