O'Meara, Il we'll dressed stranger, with the look of a poet on his face orating to n crowd from the steps of an East Main street saloon. O'Meara wound up his speech by offering to whip any man in the crowd, the officer included. He was not really drunk, but was arrested on general principles, and placed in a cell as he seemed to have delusions which might develop in to something dangerous. While in the cell he imagined that there were people in there who were trying to murder him. He claimed to be a New York publisher and had number of blank books in which l original and really good stanzas of poetry I were written. He quieted down after a few hours and was discharged this morn ing.

MIR uELLMANN MAY ACCEPT.
The Chairmanship of the Democratic
 Town Committees.

The Craftsmanship of the Democratic
 Town Committee.
 Martin Hellmann, was seen at his house this afternoon. He said that he was un- decided as to whether he would accept the chairmanship of the democratic town com mittee or not He did not ask for the office nor did he want it and had repeatedly expressed himself thus. He says he does not know the working of politics, nor has he any desire to, but as all seem to want him he will attend the first meeting of the committee, next Friday night and after wards give his decision.
 Mr Hellmann's ignorance of political trickery is one of the strongest points in his favor. He should accept the position in the interest of the party. He is free from the influence of any clique and would do only what he knew to be right.-ED.

 Editor of tho EVENING DEMOCRAT:
 There is one principle that I have always admired, and that is ightforwardness and honesty of purpose. l notice in your evening edition of yesterday you called to account one of our most prominent mer- chants on South Main street, ill regard to his democratic political principles Your article charges the party mentioned with having been truant to the colors and principles of democracy. The second party, as you have stated, buried himself into utter political oblivion. Your humble correspondent has been an "old line democrat for thirty years, and as con- sequence l have learned during that time first, that treachery in politics, in com merciai life, in social life, and in fact ill ali the different grades and vicisstudes in the race for life, honesty of, and in prin- cipal is tn great guarantee of success.

 Some of the things we do for the improvement of Trade: keep only First Class Pianos and Or gans. known everywhere as Standard Goods. We sell them at the lowest possible prices and most favorable terms. Weber, Shoninger, Emerson X Wheelock are our leaders any one of which will in every way give satisfaction and prove a source of joy in any family. Among the things we do not do is this: Never annoy people, who are not ready to buy, or lie about our neighbors goods, but are willing to accord all fair valuation ill the market. Neither do we have one price to of fer and another to sell by, as in the case of the Shoninger Piano offered for S150 by ]. Nj Kellogg. who, when the sum was rendered him refused it on the plea that some one in the country had promised to look at ii in the future Shoninger Pianos being in such demand, and his supply linn tied, with poor chances of duplication, we sug- gest, may have been the reason: although the fact remains that one minute it was for sale and the next it was not. The public left to judge of the business integrity of such dealings Lastly we manage our own business honestly, fairly and le- gitmately; pay dollar for dollar promptly: fur niSh our own Bank Vaults for Leases taken from lnstallment Customers without the aid of Sher- ifs to collect on the same.

\ Birmingham Letter Carrier Fatally
 Iniured This Warming.

Injured This Morning.
 This morning Sherman naynor, the veteran letter carrier who brings the mail bags from the Birmingham postoffice to the Naugatuck railroad station at Derby, met with an accident that will result fatally. It is his custom to leave the post office about fifteen minutes -before the arrival of trains at the Derby station and back up his sulky at the freight platform opposite the Mansion house to transfer his mail. This morning he was delayed and whipped up his horse and attempted to pass across the track just as the express train that leaves this cityS at S:26 was ap- preaching at a high speed. He succeeded in crossing the track all right but the gateman at the railroad crossing lowered the gates at the other side, thinking that Raynor had passed out all right. The horse stopped and backed on the track in front of the engine The wagon was smashed into kindling wood and Raynor was thrown out and received internal in ternal injuries that will prove fatal. The horse was so badly injured that he had to be shot,

- Henry Glews's Views on the Presen
:; Situation and Outlook for the Future

l. Henry Ciews's Views on the Present
Situation and Outlook for the Future
The New York stock market has
r underwent very satisfactory degree
of improvement of late, prices having
responded to the more fayorabl in
Auences noted in my recent advices
with greater freedom, perhaps, than
many anticipated. Among the more
encouraging, as we'll as the more
prominent, features OF The market has
been the wide and general character
Of the rise. The comparative absence
Of manipulation and the steadiness
with which the higher prices have
been maintained, is a surprise OF
many ak'spirited bulls.
Regarding the political outlook,
that is very clear. For some time
past 1t has been foregone conclusion
that the Mills tariff bill would pass
the House; but it is equally certain
that it will be defeated in the Senate,
and that no bill will be devised which
can pass both Houses this session.
This means that we shall have no
tariff legislation whatever until the
assembling of the next Congress,
when the will of the people will he
clearly known. consequently Wall
street can calculate upon experience
ing no unset,ling changes of this
character affecting general business
for several months to come.
The money situation is in all re-
spects assuring. Secretary FairchiId
has so completely demonstrated both
his ability and disposition to counter
act the injurious efforts of surplus
revenue, until Legislation has provid-
cd q more complete and permanent
remedy, that there need be no cause
for uneasiness in this respect. Owing
to the extreme ease of the money
market lately, bond purchases have
been on a very limited scale; but the
prospects are that before very long
the rates for both call and time money
will show hardening tendency, as
preparations for the crop movement
and the fall trade draw near, aud,
with higher rates for money, bonds
will be offered more freely, while the
secretary may be- more disposed to
purchase. So long as the call money
rules | per cent. the inducements for
selling Government bonds can not be
very great. even though they yield
less than p per cent.
The business situation is salts
