ed by Five Hundred New Haveners.
ftThere were stirring times in 1910, when
the Harrison and Tyler campaign was in full
blast" said Mr.. G. J. Monson, the Chapel
street jeweler, yesterday. ST well remember
being one of throng of 500 Wings from
New Haven who went down to Bridgeport
and attended the big county convention held
thare by the Wings The Wings held series
of county conventions, one in each county.
There we're were tig times. The Bridgeport
meeting was big one for those days, and
was held near Golden Hill, just south on the
meadows. There were stirring speeches and
music. There was big log cabin on Main
street. 1t was about 90 90. I think the
New Haven party went to Bridgeport on the
old steamboat Splendid, but of that am not
certain. Yes, there was one New Haven man
whom remember as of the excursion party.
He was Jack Chidsey. Everybody knew
Jack as genial citizen rs one could wish to
meet, full of pranks and jokes. He is still
hvina and resides in Southport" Mr.. Nom
son exhibited time-worn silk badge and two
madals which he wore on this occasion. The
badge was headed ''New Haven County Con-
vention," below which was q picture of
Harrison, and below the picture it read
"W. H. Harrison, October 8, 1S40." The
smaller medal was of bronze. On the re-
verse was ''U. s." and an eagle, and in the
eagles mouth was a ribbon inscribed $50

front side was medallion of Major-Gen-
eral Harrison. The other a polifhed tin
medal was inscribed "Major- General w. 81.
Harrison, born February o, ITS" and on
the reverse was log cabin with four men
near and cider barrel with mug upon
it, also pillow, flag and cannon. I'm

MORE CANADIAN OOMMENT

On the Presidents messa&e-The OPin-
Ion of Two Governments Ministers.
TORONTO, Ont, Aug. 30.-Five thousand
persons assembled at Hagersville, Ont, yes
terday to listen to political addresses from
Sir Hector Langevin, minister OF public
works, and Sir John Thomson, minister of
justice. The speeches of both ministers are
pregnant with significance, being the first
public utterances of ministers of the govern
ment since President Cleveland's retaliatory
threats. Sir Hector Langevin after sketching
the history of the fisheries dispute said in
reference to President Clevelend's message
that Canada's action should be collected and
calm. Canada ought not to mind her neigh
boris hard words, especially in the heart of a
political campaign. Canada had her minis
ters responsible to her people, which was not
the case in the United States. Was it not
much better ia have a ministry directly re-
spensible to the people SO that when wrong
doing and mismansgement prevailed the peo-
pie could turn the ministers out.
Sir John Thompson spoke in the same
general vein. He deprecated any radical
measures. In regard to the Presidents plan
of retaliation by withdrawing the privilege
of bonding goods through the United
States, he said that this privilege was Sc
cured to Canada by article 90 of the WASH
ington treaty, and it required two years.
notice by the terms of that treaty before
any article could be suspended. No notice of
that kind had been given, and yet President
Cleveland, regardless of the sacred obliga-
tions of the treaty, proposes to end this
privilege without notice and at single

YOUNG BRISTOL,s DEATH.
Seized WITH a Fatrtspe FIT.

Seized with N Painting FIT.
Further details of the drowning of Ed
ward Bristol, son of Professor F. E. Bristol
of New York, show that the sad accident
which happened recently at Martha's Vine
yard was apparently unavoidable. Young
Mr.. Bristol was seated on the stern of the
catboat in a safe place when he was suddenly
taken with fainting fit, and before anyone
noticed he had fallen overheard into the
narrow raceway through which the boot was
going The tide in this passage rushes
through at terrific rate and the undertow
is SO great that an expert swimmer can bare
ly keep aHoat Mr.. Bristol was in a dazed
condition when he fell overheard and he did
not recover sufficiently to regain his footing,
for the water was not over his head. = He
came up only once and did not even grasp at
a large oar which was within reach. He had
been afflicted with similar fits of fainting
during the summer, and it was in one of
these that he lost his life. His many friends
in this city may find some consolation in the
fact that his death was apparently unavoid-
able.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Rspublican sena-

HARTFORD, Conn, Aug. 30.-There are no
new developments concerning the amount OF
shortage in the trust accounts OF Cashier
Breed, who committed suicide yesterday. IL
has been ascertained, however, that he had
received from Mrs. Goodwin full release
from all liability to her estate. But he fear-
cd that her counsel might bring suit for the
amount of shortage and had not the courage
to face the developments. He placed all the
papers relating to his trust account in the
hands of an attorney on tuesday ana Wnen
asked if he intended to run away said no, he
should remain and fight it. But his courage
evidently gave way during the night. Some
think that he had contemplated suicide for
several days. His body will be taken to Nor
witch tomorrow for burial in the family lot
in the old Yantic cemetery.

WATERBURY, Aug. 30.-The barbecue got
ten up by the Butchers Protective association
of this city was grand affair and thousands
of people tnrned out to take part in the fes-
tivities. The ball grounds was one mass of
humanity. From early morning till midday
all the incoming trains were crowded with
people. Delegations of butchers were present
from New Haven, Hartford, Meriden, Derby,
Bridgeport, Naugatuck, Danbury, New Brit.
ain and in feet from every place in the State.
The barbecue was gigantic one.
There was parade headed by the Ameri~
can band of this city, followed by the Water
bury butchers mounted. Each "cavalryman"
wore black stovepipe, white frock and blue
sash and looked very snowy. Then came the
Ansonia brass band and the Derby butchers
(Ansonia, Shelton and Birmingham) nearly
one hundred strong wearing white stovepipe
hats and white aprons, maIshaled by VIM. l..
Dodge. Following these were the hacks and
carriages with delegates of butchers from
many cities and towns.
At one time there were about fifteen thoun
sand people on the grounds. Mayor Bough-
ton welcomed the people and guests. D. n.
Fisher of the Butchers Protective association
of New York replied to the mayor.
Two trenches about 25 feet long, feet
wide and feet deep were dug in the left
field of the ball ground, just under the brow
of the toboggan hill. In these deep char
coal fires were built and the huge quarters of
beef or the whole sheep were held over them
by iron spits resting on each bank. A dozen
men turned the meat, poured water on the
fires when they got too hot and washed the
meat with huge sponges soaked in butter
melted with salt and pepper. F. G. Bonn
mos, jr., of Bridgeport, wasl the chief, az
sisted by Charles Biltz, George Selleck
and Joe Guckert, all of Bridgeport. Five
steers had been contributed at the last mo-
ment, making 25 in all, and SO sheep. For
the dressing there were required 500 pounds
of salt; a barrel of vinegar and 1 500 loaves
of bread filed out the commissary's order.
Around two sides of the trenches and just
within reach of the savory odor were tables
of boards and heavy butchers tables on
which the viands were served.
About twenty were present from New Ha~
ven.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 30.-A special from
Jacksonville says: "The situation to-day is
not only no better but rather worse. The
great jump in the number of new cases
and the trains out were crowded from 10 till
Q o'clock Health certificates are now issued
daily by the board of health. It has been
decided by the auxiliary: association to get
people to move out to the camp 30 as to de-
populate the place more and by this means
endeavor to check the fever's course. The
poor who are unable to go will be assisted
and every effort made to get rid of large
number of people. New cases to-day sprang
up right and left and the prospects are good
for an increase in the number of cases to-
night. Thirteen eases were reported up to
noon with three deaths. This rapid increase
helps on the exodus and will carry oat 1 500
people this week. The work of cleaning up
and disinfecting goes forward most gratify-
ly. ALI that possibly can be done has been
done already upon the Grand Union Hotel
and adjoining premises, but infection still
appears to reach out in that neighborhood
with alarming frequency and violence. One
gratifying feature of the situation is the mild
form of many of the new cases. There are
striking exceptions to this rule, however"
FEW OF THE AFFLICTED.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug. 30.-Twenty-
three new cases of yellow fever were report
ed to the board of health for the twenty-four
hours ending at O'Clock this afternoon.
Among them are members OF several leading
families-Father Kenny, Mrs. DIR. Daniel,
Mrs Susan Sen9Ie and o, s. Keene, There
were three deaths during the same time, La
fsyette Daney, confidential clerk of the inter
nal revenue Office, Mrs. D. j. Crowley, wife
of the manager of the Western Union tele-
graph company, and David Luigi, an Italian.
It can hardly be said that the disease liz more
malignant than a week ago. Many new cases
are very critical, but the percentage of re-
coveries would be larger if the milder cases
