The women Did It.

A Boston dispatch of December 18th is
as follows -" The municipal election
was attended by excitement unequaled
in recent years, owing to the sectarian
agitation over the composition of the
School Committee. A heavy vote was
brought out, and, despite the rain, the
ladies, in large numbers, demanded their
privilege to vote. The result of the
Mayoralty vote was O'Brien Cd. J 80, 848,
Hart (R.) 80, 100. Harris majority ,912.
In 1887, in a total vote of 81 900, O'Brien
defeated Hart by ,457. Mayor O'Brien
will retire December 31st, after having
served four terms. There were num-
Der of arrests for illegal voting. The
count of the vote for members of the
School Committee is not complete, but
sufficientis known to indicate that nearly
the entire registered female vote has
been cast, which is about 10000. In
many precincts the entire female vote
was cast before 10 o'clock in the morn
ing. The heads OF families, accompanied
by wife, daughter, mother-in-law and
servants, were figures in the unique
scenes at the polling places. Nothing
like this was ever witnessed here be-

THE INTER-lsLAND CABLE.

A letter has been received from Mr..
Bartholomew, the protector of the inter
island cable project, containing impor-
tant and very satisfactory intelligence.
Mr. B. writes that he has succeeded in
raising all the money he requires, hav-
ing foated the stock on the London mar
ket The cable has been manufactured
in England and is now on the way out
by way of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
1t will probably be shipped from
Vancouver to Honolulu by a vessel
which is to leave on the goth of Janu-
airy. This is very welcome news. The
fact that the time which had elapsed
without visible results or even definite
information was so much greater than
was announced at the time of Mr.. Bar
tholemew's departure, had gradually un-
dermined both the public faith and the
public interest. The information now
received regarding the success of both
the financial and mechanical branches
of the enterprise appears to be definite
and positive. There seems to be no rea-
sonable doubt of electric communication
between the Islands being an accom-
plished fact within few months. The
possibilities commercial, social and po-
litical which are suggested by the estab-
lishment of such communication, especi-
ally when connected with Pacific cable,
whose realization belongs probably to
the near future, will be considered here
after

British Imperial Federation.

At meeting of the Royal Colonial In
stitute in London, Dec. 18th, Sir Charles
Upper threw cold water on the Imperial
Federation scheme. He said he could
not, after thirty years experience in pub
lie life, say with Federationists that un-
less the system of the empire radically
change the empire must fall to pieces.
Other speakers attacked Sir Charles for
the sentiments expressed, but the Mar
quis of Lorne defended him.

THE BRISTOL TRAGEDY.
.ronson Had Lately shown Signs of
 Violent Insanity.

The horrible double tragedy which oc- cured at Bristol Wednesday night, has created a great sensation in that place, but it is generally believed that Bronson was insane. He had at various times given evi- dences of insanity, and had been under the treatment of Dr H. A. Way for melan- cholia. Only recently he evinced signs of violent insanity, but he was not considered so dangerous but that it was considered safe to let him alone with his wife. She knew of his trouble and had taken the pre- caution to lock up the razor. Bronson, while calling at his sisters, short dis tance from his home last Tuesday had an attack, and tried to strang1e himself with his hands. When prevented he ripped out a pocket knife and attempted to cut his throat. Disarmed, he procured carving knife and renewed his attempt at self destruction. It is thought that he was en- ragged because his wife had locked up his razor, and that it preyed upon his mind until he determined to kill her and end his own life afterwards.
 The double crime was probably premedi tated Just how it began no one will ever know, but as to how it was done there can be no doubt. It is presumed that he either took the axe to his room when he retired, or awoke in the night and went down stairs to get it. Either is likely to have been the case. At any rate, whichever was the case, he aroused Mrs Bronson, who must have got out of bed to flee, and when flight was cut of had to defend herself. She was plump and muscular woman, and would have stood chance to have protected herself had she had formida- ble weapon such as her husband yielded. The fact that a pitcher was found broken in pieces on the floor and chair with two rungs splintered would lead to the belief that she had made strenuous efforts to pro- tect her person. It is presumed that the blow over the left eye was the first one and that it felled her to the floor, probably rendering her helpless to further defend herself -E.--a- ~ sHs. .n-

They See Their opportunity and Reap a
 Golden Harvest.
 Says the Hartford Telegram:-The failure of the potato crop this season will have no terror for the Brooklyn farm CT. He made enough money yesterday to live on for four years to come and every mothers son' of them went home at night with stocking full of tingling coin Like their famous townsman, Putnam, they left in the furrow, but unlike him, instead of going forth to save their country, they came out with open arms to fleece their visitors. When the good burghers realized that they had town brimming over with hungry people they resolved to work to their own advantage and they did.
 As the demand increased pie went up to 25 cents "cut," and the ginger bread tariff rose like yeast cakes. The peanut market caught the boom and pint of the grubers cost tho purchaser 20 cents. Drinks were also high. Brooklyn is no license town, but the initiated soon learned that in the rear of large barn brisk trade in apple jack and beer was going on. But when lager costs. 10 cents per glass and it takes dime to secure a thimbleful of cider brandy thirsty man can't indulge to any great extent without rapidly de pleting his pocketbook One genius hired all the hitching posts on the main thor oughfare and made money by renting them out at 25 cents each.

James Brennan Charged With Practicing
 Wild West Tactics.
 Michael Murphy, John Fitzpatrick and Thomas Synnott were very penitent when before the police court this morning charged with sleeping in the cars at the New England depot. The judge gave them the ightest fine possible, 5 without costs.
 William H. Perkins, a spruce looking young man of IS summers, appeared as complainant against James Brennan whom he charged with assaulting him on North Elm street few nights ago. Perkins said he was passing through that street in the evening, escorting four ladies home. Whether it was that James thought he was too we'll provided, or thought he owned the street is not known, but at all events he tried to lasso Perkins. Perkins turned on him and disturbance followed. AS James has to support small family sen tence was suspended.

How a Berlin Man Was Shot Moving a
 Barrel of Guns.
 John Wableton, of Berlin, was moving the other day and hired M. J. Fully to assist him. Among the household effects was barrel containing thirteen guns. Fully objected to moving the barrel, but upon being assured that none of the guns was loaded, he carried the barrel out into the yard. As he set it down one of the guns exploded, sending charge of shot through his arm.
 The injured man was taken to New Bri- tain, where Dr. Comings advised immedi- ate amputation of the wounded member. MT Fully wished to consult other author ity, however, and went to Hartford, where Drs Smith land Curtis extracted the shot and removed the wounded fesh The arm is now doing well and healing rapidly. An examination of the guns in the barrel showed that nine out of the thirteen were loaded

The South Summed Up.

There will be no contest for the Demo- cratic presidential nomination, and conse- quently no ill feeling will be engendered. The national Democratic convention will simply ratify the choice of candidate al- ready made by the united Democracy and united and prosperous people. There will be no wounds to heal and general good feeling will be predominating feature of this campaign. With these facts before us there is the possible dan- ger of over confidence and consequent lack of effort on the part of the Democracy. No friend of the administration, no friend of good government should fail to do the work assigned him, no matter what the circumstances may be surrounding the convention proceedings. No man need apologize for the honest and progressive work of the administration because it's fruits, so beneficial to the country, speak volumes for our standard arer.-Cleve- land Plain Dealer.

A couple of Norwalk men went to Bridgeport, circus day, in a wagon. When night came and they had got pretty well filled up with Bridgeport poison, they started home, but in some unaccountable manner the horse got turned around, and the first they knew Bridgeport jail loomed up alongside of them. An old circus man, and sometime in the course of his life. a driver of mules, proposed to hitch the horse to tree on the roadside and get un- der the wagon and go to sleep, which they did. The fiery rays of the sun awoke them in the morning at 9 o'clock, and they drove home all broke up
