A Frenchman Uses a Razor, but without
 the Desired Effect.
 Nosaire Baudian, machinist living at No Jefferson alley, has been drinking very heavily of late, and often when drunk would threaten to kill his wife and com init suicide. Last night about 9 o'clock Mrs Baudian, with her children, came down from her apartments and told Frank Thompson and his family, who live on the ground floor, that she could not stay up stairs as her husband was very abusive. MT Thompson calmed her fears and went up stairs with her, remaining in the hall way while Mrs Baudian went to her rooms Hearing her scream he followed and found Baudian brandishing a razor and threatening to kill her. Mrs Baudian returned with MT Thompson Hearing a noise up stairs they returned to find that Baudian was bleeding profusely from cut in his arm. Dr La Fontaine was summoned, but before he arrived he had cut deep gash in the other arm, the blood flowing down his clothes and satur- ating the floor. Dr LaF Fontaine dressed the wounds which are not fatal. Baudain is a Frenchman and came to Waterbury some six years ago. He was employed at the works of the Matthews & Willard company until he lost his position through drink. To-day he was walking around and keenly feels his attempt at suicide. He says he will not drink anymore. Mrs Baudain is suffering from prostration and had three violent fits last night, but was better to dav

That on the Manufactured Article Should
 Be Lifted.
 Speaking of the recent deadlock on the house, Congressman Russell of the Third district, says
 ''The result of this fight means that Connecticut can be counted on as repub- lican beyond shadow of doubt. Con necticut took Cleveland's free trade mes sage in anything but good part, because it assailed protection, and it is under protec- tion that the states great industries have been built up. The democrats would have had hard fight anyhow, but with MT Cleveland's message and this fight, I hon. estly think, that Connecticut will from this on be arepublican state. New Jersey, too, will go republican. Here is par allel case: Her voters are for protection first and the democratic party afterward."
 On the other hand, Congressman Vance of the First district poo-peos MT Russelrs statement and asserts that this fight will Connecticut. s'There is only one thing necessary" he says, lin order to make the state democratic. That is the total aboli- tion of the internal revenue tax on manu- factured tobacco. That will be done and by the democrats The Mills committee have given protection democrats every reason to believe that they will accede to our wishes on this point. Connecticut will be democratic and will aid in re-electing MT Cleveland, should he consent to accept the nomination which will undoubtedly be rendered him. Now, as far as the tail having wagged the dog is concerned, it was the southern men-the filibusters themselves offered the palm of peace in the caucus Wednesday night It was they who made the suggestion that was finally adopted. The fact is all they asked was some means of escape from the posi- tion they had assumed which was not ut terly ignominious The direct tax bill has not been defeated, but under the agree ment that the previous question should be considered as ordered, will pass when it comes up in the house next December"

A QUEER CASE.
l.. P. KniclkerbockerL Left Home Vest

l.. P. Knickerbocker Left Home Yester-
 day and Cannot be Found.
 The wife and family of L. P. .Knicker- booker of High street, are much worried over his mysterious disappearance. Yes terday afternoon MT Knickerbocker left home about o'clock, telling his wife he would return before supper time. He has not been seen or heard from since by any of his family. A DEMOCRAT reporter met and talked with him at the Naugatuck station shortly before the train from Win sted arrived and did not notice anything pc culiar in his actions. The ticket agent at the Naugatuck station remembers selling a ticket for New York to man answering description, who rushed into the station at the last minute yester- day, which is the only clue to his where abouts. Mrs Knickerbocker is almost prostrated over his absence, which cannot be accounted for Tn any way. Her hus- band was not drinking man, which makes the case still more complicated.

Small Pox in New Haven.

A case of genuine small pox was report ed to Health Officer Williston of New Ha- ven Saturday afternoon, and he went to work to investigate the case. The sufferer from the dreaded malady was found to be Mrs Burr s. Davis, who resides on the low CT floor of the house No 76 Kimberly av- enue. Dr Williston visited the place about 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon. After an examination of the patients symptoms he came to the same conclusion as the attend ing physician had arrived at in the morn ing, and pronounced the disease small pox He at once placed the house under quaran tine, thus isolating it's inhabitants from their surrounding fellow beings.

The Greenwich Murder.

~ Coroner Holt is at Greenwich, where a preliminary hearing in the Mills shooting affray is being held. It appears that Jar wis Mills, who shot and killed his wife, mis- took her in the dark for Edward Ayres, with whom, he had just had quarrel
 There were seven oystermen present at the shooting and four of them were present and testified at the hearing. Ayres and two others left and could not be found. They have, however, been apprehended since and will testify to-day. Ayres was badly cut by Mills on the head, thigh and knee, and in return Ayres dubbed Mills with the butt of heavy revolver. The upper half of Mrs. Mills heart was shot away.

"The New Muggs' Laniing."

This comedy drama will be presented at the opera house this evening, Carlotta ap- bearing as Little Muggs." The drama has the merit of being pure, clean and eievat- ing, affording opportunity for the intro ductlon of bright songs and dances.
 The Little Tycoon"
 Thursday night the ''Little Tycoon" will be produced at the opera house by Willard Sponsors company. The opera-a charm ing satire on the American love of foreign tltles-has been before the public for sev- eral years, and has enjoyed remarkably successful run. The present company is a good one, and the whole play is staged and consumed in an elaborate manner. The principal roles are well filled, the solo parts we'll rendered The chorus is strong and effective.
 Frank Mayo.
 Frank Mayo will appear at the opera house Friday evening presenting "Nor- deck" The New York World says: ''No praise can overstate the excellence of Mayo's acting. His reputation is world wide, and he deserves all the eulogy that has been extended to him. sWeldemar Nordeck' is his strongest character, as he conceived and created it for himself, with an intelligent knowledge of his own power. His support is excellent"

THE WORLD OF SPORTS.

Ed Daley is just now playing the bril- liant fielding and batting game he played for Philadelphia in 1886.
 Campiona promises to be one of the strong and reliable players of the club Lowell Critic. Who ever thought plain Bill Campion was an Italian?
 The base ball season will open in this city tomorrow The Wilkesbarres, with Fitzgerald, Beecher and Cain will cross sticks with team of amateur players.
 Campion, Lowell's new first baseman, accomplished the daring feat, on April ,, of stealing home from first base while the catcher was close behind the bat.-Sport- ing Life. "Camp" will startle the Lowell ties by his eccentric and remarkable work this season.
 Bostonese have howled about their team ever since Clarkson's acquisition, and the penant is already within their grasp; never theless nobody has yet had the nerve to take up the 5000 wager of George w. Clapp of Fremont row that the Bostons will not finish better than fourth. Salem's left garden will be guarded by Burke of New Britain, Conn. This player first made his debut in his native city in 'S4 as short stop and left fielder The next season found him in Waterbury, and in 'S6 and '97 he was with Lawrence and Salem, coming to Salem on the transfer of the Lawrence team to that city. His aver age at the bat in 'S7 was 1905 actual and .30I league averages, and he stood third in left field, with an average of .878.-Sport- ing Life.
 A Lowell correspondent of Sporting Life has this to say of two old Waterbury players: 'After the general work of the team the interest centred in Barney Nc Laughlin, Higgins successor, and Barney fulfilled all expectations in every way, and in the third inning, when he lined out a homer sending in two runs he was compelled to dof his cap several times. Of Cam pion's work too much praise cannot be given; he is a fine fielder and his batting is heavy, and as base runner he is hum mer."
 The Washington management has con- cluded to make Ed Daily fixture in right garden, and Shock will be held in reserve as general utility man. The latter is un- questionably a valuable player, but he does not rank with Daley player; besides with the latter in the feld the home team always has reserve pitcher on the card, 6 most wise precaution. Daley is playing with a dash and vim this season that is re freshing to his many admirers in this city and he has every incentive to keep up his work.

TIE sudden and unexpected
death of MORRISON Il. WAITE,
Chief Justice of the U. S. Supreme
Court, caused a shock wherever the
announcement was made yesterday
morning. Judge Waite had been
nnwell for several days, but nothing
serious was anticipated, and the end
came almost without warning. No
man that ever reached the exalted
position of Chief Justice, enjoyed
TO greater extent the full conf
dence of the public than the late de-
ceased. He was pronounced re-
publican, but never a whisper OF
suspicion of party bias was ever
heard against one of the many de-
cisions he had rendered. He was
strictly an honest man.

The Party whip.

point of democracy, State legisla-
ture ought to be supposed to repre-
sent the common sense, il not the
intelligence and decency of the con-
stituents who are responsible for the
election of its mbers. This we
have right to expect; butthe scenes
which have lately been enacted IN.
our House of Delegates would seem
tolndicate that many of these "gen-
tlemen'' were specially sent here by
the people to display, as occasion
demanded, all the assininity and
vulgarity of which they are the en-
bodiment.
We have already spoken of the
knavery by which our county has
been deprived of the privilege ar
IDENTITY asked for by large major
ity of our taxpayers, to issue bonds
to redeem her credit and place her
finances on a more stable basis. En-
couraged by their success IN this
scheme. the party bosses struck for
higher game yesterday. when the
bill for congressional redistricting
came up. What is supposed to be
a deliberative assembly was imme-
diately turned into a regular bed
lam, and the bosses, urged on by the
lobby, cracked the party whip for
all that it was worth. But notwith-
standing their appeal, there were
enough decent, honest men on the
democratic side to virtually defeat
the Ubiquitous measure. The vote
was taken and stood 45 for, and AZ
against it. The speaker had begun
to declare the result, when looking
over the house he saw number
Of members gathered around an
s'erring brother" beseechlng him
to change his vote. This he did;
but at the same time, Mr.. Cox, the
original introducer of the bill, arose
to change his vote to the negative.
The Speaker, however, thought tit
not to recognize him, but proceeded
to announce the bill as passed.
While the bosses are rejoicing, in
their blind zeal, it is scarcely neces-
sary to add that great indignation
is manifested by the calmer and
better element of the party. 1t is
hardly possible that the Senate will
sanction by its vote this highland
ed proceeding; but even should the
matter be dropped where it is, it is
hard to estimate, at this time, how
much harm this action of the House
will cause the Democratic party,
not only in the 5th and 9th districts,
but also in the whole State. 1t is
of too little to expect that the peo-
pie Montgomery and Carroll coun-
ties will not resent the forcing upon
them of measure against which
they have uttered long and loud
protest.
Looking back over the work OF
the present legislature, We are led to
ask, what the party has done to 70
deem its pledges and gain the con-
fidence Of the people? The domi-'
nant CRY in the election of last fall
was call for the taxation OF corpo-
rations and the enactment of suit
able election Law. The party lead
ers solemnly promised that these de-
mands should be complied with
What IS the result? The corporations
are allowed to 90 scot free and the cleo
ton law passed satisfies nobody, not
even some Of the gentlemen who we're
londest in their promises Of reform.
Aud why should We not have such
Law Is would surround the ballot
BY every possible safeguard? The
