A CAUCUS OF DEMOCRATS.
Mr.. Holman Succeeds the Late 8. s.
Cox in the Chairmanship.

Mr. Holman succeeds the Late 3. 3.
Cox in the Craftsmanship.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Ihe democratic
representatives held caucus tonight in
pursuance of an order made at the adjourn
ment of the caucus yesterday. There was
a good attendance, more than 100 members
being present. Mr.. Holman was elected
chairman of the caucus, to succeed the late
Representative Cox of New York, Mr.. Car
Isle having declined the post.
Following the time-bonored custom the
republican majority had signified their
willingness to allow the democratic minor
ity to retain one of their party in the en-
ploy of the doorkeeper, and the caucus
tonight selected Isaac Hill, now an assist
ant sergeant-at-arms, as the employe who
should be so retained, and made it his duty
to preserve the secrecy of the caucus Mr..
Wilson of West Virginia and Mr.. Blanch-
ard of Louisiana, were reelected secretaries
of the caucus.
THE STEERING COMMITTEE.
When these preliminaries had been dis
posed of Mr.. Oates Of Alabama offered a
resolution providing for the appointment of
a committee of fifteen members, headed by
ex-Speaker Carlisle, to undertake the care
of the political interest of the minority, or
to discharge the duties of what is commonly
known as the steering committee"
Opposition Immediately developed. Mr..
Blount of Georgia strongly objected to the
delegation of individual powers and rights
to any committee, and found a number of
other reasons why the resolution should not
be adopted.
OPPOSED BY THE BRECKINRIDGEs.
Mr.. Breckenridge of Arkansas was also
opposed to the resolution, and moved that
it be laid on the table. His namesake, Mr..
Breckenridge of Kentucky, suggested the
appointment of a committee of three mem
bers with powers corresponding to those of
an executive commit ee from whose decls-
ion an appeal might be taken to the CON-
mittee of fifteen, which in turn might call
the caucus together.
Mr.. Craue of Texas moved as a further
substitute the appointment of committee
of five members to keep the democratic
representatives advised of the movements
and plans of their opponents, and to call the
caucus together when needful. Finally all
of the motions were laid aside for the time
and the caucus adjourned.

X satisfactory Exhibition of its NIer
 It's Is Given This Afternoon.


 It's Is Given This Afternoon.
 It was 40 when the two handsome greys left the engine house on Scovill street drawing the new Preston truck for its first public trial. X halt was made at the square and for the first time the people of Waterbury wit messed the new extension ladder and the turn table movement connected with it. Sixty-five feet of ladder was thrown against Browns block reaching almost to the roof. It was nicely ex- ecuted maneuver notwithstanding it was the first time the Mutual boys ever handled such truck. Five men then ascended the ladder to test its strength. It proved itself sufficient for | the test and and received the praise of | the assembled public. The next test was given at City hall | and here the merits of the machine were shown to the best advan- tage. The ladder dropped exactly on the lower roof and T. Bolger of the Mu- tuals then ascended to the top. Now gears which manipulate the raising and lowering of the ladder were brought into play and with a man at the extreme end the ladder was raised into the air perpendicularly. It was a test | of courage for the man as well as a test of strength for the machine; but both were equal to the emergency. On descending from the ladder, Mir Bolger received the plaudits of the spectators. The next trial was at the lower end of the green near the soldiers monument. Here the ladder was rais- ed fifty feet into the air and four men ascended bearing two lines of hose. l Ascending to the top two streams of water were thrown into the air which would reach many feet above the high est building ill the city. It Was grand the board of fire commissioners present, although declining to express any decided opinion as yet, seemed to favor the passage of the bill accepting the Preston truck. There were present from out of town viewing the inspec- tion Chief Hendricks of the New of the state fire department of Southport, Chief Bowman and Captain Nelsons of Engine Co No of Stamford.
 The members of Mutual No } who acted as workers on the truck were ae follows: Arthur Cleveland, driver; Wm Dodds, tiller; F. B. Hull. F. H. Miller and H. J. Reynolds on the center crank. H. E. Hull and C. E. Cooley on ladders. E. G. Hyatt. Ed Hart, w. Beauchamp | and E. Humphrey on the side cranks. c. D. Jenkins the gentlemanly super intendent of the works where the truck is manufactured and F.. II. Alcott the eastern agent for the same, looked after the workings of the truck and merit the praise they have received from the people who witnessed the exhibition. It is probable that at the next meeting of the fire commissioners the truck will be accepted. The weight is somewhat great yet the amount of pressure de. mands i'll proportion a necessary equiva. | lent,

He Tramps From Kansas City to
 Norwich and Enjoys It.
 There is young man in Norwich who has accomplished the feat of crossing half of this continent afoot and this young man is very lame, too. His left leg was hurt in an accident in his in fancy and since then he has been unable to walk straight. Yet he walked every step of the way from Kansas City to Norwich. His name is John Exley and he peddles Cooley's Weekly. He is slightly demented and the news of his long walk came out accidentally. Many quick-witted gentlemen who were in clined to doubt the truth of the youths story have cross questioned him closely, but have been forced to admit that he tells straight story. His description of his long tramp Is minutely correct and the people of Norwich concur in the conviction that he walked the whole long distance. When he reached his ma tive city he was covered with dust. His shoes. which were almost new when he started from Kansas City, were worn down to the uppers and he was as thin as a rail. Yet he built up rapidly and is now none the worse for his long jour- ney,

H
 SluYger In Seven Rounds.
 About 175 sporting men from all the towns along the .Naugatuck valley ness ten round fight between Jimmy" Quigley of New Haven and "Ed" Me Donald of Brooklyn, N. Y. The fight was for $500 and the gate receipts, three minutes to the round, with one and one half for rest, Marquis of Queensbury rule. Thesring was pitched in barn near the boundary of two counties and was we'll adapted for holding such a contest.
 Mcdonald and Quigley both took their respective corner at eXactely 12 o'clock, the former being very thin and weigh ing 12S pounds. Quigley looked like a sure winner and weighed just thirty pounds more than his opponent. Mcdonald was seconded by Thomas Sex. ton of Hartford and Jerry Sullivan of New York. Quigley was looked after by Patrick Sutton and Jack Smith. IL was d little after 12 o'clock when the | fight commenced. Both showed con- siderable science, although it was evi dent that Mcdonald was far superior in | that line.
 The first round was secured by Me Donald, the second by Quigley. In the third round first blood was drawn by | Quigley, who gave Mcdonald blow II
 the mouth, cutting his upper lip. A, | times it looked as if Quigley was receiv- ing the worst of the battle, but he very pluckily warded off the blows. In the | fifth round Quigley went in rather heavily and threw Mcdonald down nearly losing the fight on foul. The sixth was a draw. The seventh round was a ratt!ing one. Both men had fought very pluckily and were nearing the guard ropes when Quigley's right came down on McDonald's neck. An other
 blow well directed followed the first
 knocking Mcdonald down and putting him to sleep. He was unable to respond | to the call of time and the fight was
 given to Quigley. who was nearly car
 ried away by his Waterbury and New Haven friends.
