If Leonidas C@ser Houk does
not get the nomination for Congress
At the next Congressional nomina-
ton, he will in all probability put
himself at the head of the old Dem
ecratic party. He is now prepar-
ing soft place to fall into the arms
sfthe Democracy by putting him
self at the head ola outhern bolt,
to prevent the Republicans from
organizing the House. Houk has
refused to answer where he stands
as to- the election of Republican
speaker, unless he is the man. Con-
gresham Evans refuses to join that
bolt. The TIMES did not believe
Evans would be found on the wrong
side when the trial came. He has
answered and says he will stand
with the Republicans, Just where a
true man will stand. Houk thinks
the Democrats will send him to Con-
gress if he heads in q bolt in the Re-
publican party. He knows the Re.
publicans are tired or him and he
Is paving the way for defeating them
unless some Southern members
sell out.

The experience of farmers in

has been quite favorable. Next

THE HEEL PLATE COMPANY.

W A
 Industry Into Their Business.
 Arrangements were completed yester- day for the transfer of the Hartford Heel Plate company's business to the Platt Brothers of this city, who have effected the purchase of the plant and will re- move the concern to Waterbury. The company was chartered in 1887, with capital stock of S100,0O0. It has been conducted under the directorship of Messrs. F. H. Richards, Charles R. Hart, G. w. Curtis and E. kempshall. The business has been located on Grove street. A few months ago the company was successful in defending against a suit for infringement of patent and has vindicated its exclusive right to the patent which it controls, This suit in volved an expenditure of upwards of S9,000. At times the company has en- ployed force of thirty hands and has added considerably to the industrial pros poets of Hartford. The plates are of malleable iron and are worn on rubber shoes. It has not been decided how soon the transfer to this city will be made.

THE STATE PRISON.

The Board of Directors Exonerate
 Warden Chamberlain = Crowded
 Condition of the Building and sam
 itary Dangers.
 The board of directors of the state
 prison, at a final meeting held at Weth
 ersfield yesterday, all the members be- ing present, unanimously voted that
 the charges perferred against General s. E. Chamberlain, warden of the prison, having been fully investigated, are not sustained, and that he retains the entire confidence of the directors. A resolu- tion passed the senate yesterday instruct ing the directors to report their finding | with the evidence taken, and instructing the state prison committee of the legls- lature to consider the affair and report l to the general assembly whether any l legislation is needed. The house reject ed the resolution.
 The legislative committee on the state prison, under the direction of Senator Parish, paid that institution an official visit on Thursday afternoon. The inn mediate object of the visit was to obtain information in connection with reso-
 lution now before the legislature, mak-
 ing further appropriations for the pur-
 pose of erecting additional shops. The committee were cordially received by Warden Chamberlain, who conducted them through the various departments
 and intelligently described the prison discipline and the further needs of the establishment. Among other Athings
 the warden declared that there
 were at present 400 cells, 357 of
 which were occupied. Of the prisoners, forty -one were for life, most of whom
 were wife murderers, and he had yet to
 see any of the latter exhibiting the smallest compunction for their crimes. At the present time about twenty pris-
 oners are confined in their cells for the
 want of regular employment, and though the greatest sanitary precautions are taken the crowded conditions of the
 shops render them extremely dangerous
 during hot weather. The proposition of
 the prison board is to tear down the
 rickety old building in the center, which is both defective and leaky and erect in stead a building eighty feet long and fifty feet wide and three stories high. This will give shop room in the prison for the accommodation of 800 men. There are on the premises ready for use about 250, ,000 bricks and a sum of $30.- 900 additional would complete the pro- posed building with all the modern facil- ities of penal institutions. The commit tee gained much information from their visit. and came away much impressed with the necessity and the economy of the proposed improvement and highly pleased with the candor and hospitality of the warden.

MARRIAGE WAS A FAILURE.


Thomas Hannon'S Bitter Experience
 in the Matrimonial Market.
 Minnie F. Hannon of West Haven was the plaintiff in divorce case before Judge Fenn at New Haven yesterday. She charged Thomas Hannon with desertion and adultery. They were mar ried October 19, 1885. Hannon lived at Watertown at that time, peaceful and happy on a farm and was well known in this city He went to Savln Rock one day after seeing a matrimonial adver- tlsement in a newspaper. Dr Painter of West Haven was interested in the notice, acting then as guardian of the young lady of matrimonial inclinations. Miss Minnie F. Pond was the doctors ward. She was introduced to Hannon and they were soon after married. Their married life was very unhappy. Honnon at one time attacked the doctor. The couple separated. Hannon secured employ ment at Dole's store in Chapel street op- posite the colleges. There he got the name of "Honest Tom.' Last fall he was arrested for theft from his employer. Then there was chapter of revelations about his immoral conduct in a Bridge port house of ill-fame. Everyone up to | this date put him down for a squaretoed moralist. He was convicted, but it was evident that his domestic troubles had made him desperate, and that perhaps he was more sinned against than shining. He settled the case. His wife then sued for divorce. The decree was granted yesterday.

X Class of BohemianS Who should
 be Heavily Taxed.
 The local clothing merchants are find ing fault and with good reason because of the encouragement received by Bo- hemian dealers who do business by sample. coming to Waterbury once or twice a week in the busy spring and fall seasons. The DEMOCRAT has been the only daily paper in the city to wage war against this class of dealers. Several weeks ago we advised our readers to patronize their home industries and at once the business of an outside concern whose agent visited here once a week fell off to such an extent that now the trips are made only once ill two weeks. The regular clothing merchants of the city, whose interest are all centered here. many of whom have already established their business on a sound basis and others who are honestly striving to at tain that end, should receive the en- couragement aud support of the people in preference to the carpet-baggers who leave no money here except small hotel bill now and then.
 The city ordinance in relation to trade reads as follows:
 Section 1O-No person whose entire stock in trade shall exceed in value. at any one time. the sum of ten dollars, shall peddle or sell, or expose for sale from house to house, or in the streets of said city, any goods, wares or merchant disc of any kind whatever, without li- cense from the court of common council of said city so to do. Provided that this ordinance shall not prohibit farmers and gardeners, or their employees, resident of this state, from selling or exposing fol sale the produce of of farms and gar, dens situated in this state. Any person offending against any provision of this section. shall forfeit and pay penalty of not less than ten, nor more than twenty-five dollars for such otfense. City Clerk kildutf was not at his office when DEMOCRAT reporter called to-day but his assistant was of the opinion that the Plymouth Rock Pants company die not pay license for doing business in this city. Although they do business by sample they clearly come under the pro | visions of the city ordinance and should be made to pay up or get out.

Parker was summoned from South Manchester, and after reviewing the remains gave permit for the removal of the body. In his opinion Dr Wolcott had been stricken down in a fit Wednesdy night. The body was removed to his fathers home. Dr Wolcott had been the victim of the morphine habit but it is said had been successfully treated and cured. He was a graduate of the Harvard Medical school in the class of 1879. In 1880 he opened an office in this city at 2 Grand street. He was slave to the morphine habit and had to abandon his practice here in 1882 going to Meriden where he remained few years. He has lived at Manchester for three years, but has not praCticed.

THEIR FIRST ANNUAL.
Concert, Sociable and Drill of (
 E Hiheruian Rifles.

Concert, Sociable and Drill of Go
 F. Hibernian Rifles.
 Despite the stormy weather the Union armory was we'll crowded last evening with the friends of Go E Hibernian Rifles at the first exhibition drill and sociable of the company. The unpleasant weather prevented the company from giving the parade intended and also de- cided the Hartford company to remain at home. The colonel and his staff, how ever, were met at the eight o'clock train and escorted to the armory. At 9:30 Captain Phelan gave the command to fall in, and immediately every man of the thirty-two took his po- sition. The company was drawn up m line facing the north wall of the armory and as the colonel and his staff entered the hall, escorted by the reception com mittee, the company at the command of its captain promptly came to present arms. Seated on the platform to which the visitors were conducted were State hue of Hartford, Lieut. Col O'Connell of Middletown, Quartermaster Ryan of Hartford, Adjt Dwyer of Hartford County Directors William c. Keenan of this city, McEvoy of Putnam and San ders of Norwich, eX-captain Bannon, Capt Wolff, Lieut. Fitzpatrick and Lient Halpin. Presidents Hyland of the First division A. O. H., Madden of the 2nd ;, Doran of the 3d and Moran of the 4th. The company then gave an excellent drill and every fine movement was loudly applauded by the spectators The oblique movements and the wheel ing into company front were special features of the drill and many a com pany in the C. N. G. would learn much from the drilling of Co E. Captain Phe- Ian and his two able assistants, Lieu tenants Corden and Finley, can feel proud of their company. After the drill the grand march of 200 couples was formed and led by Captain Phelan and lady followed by the members of his company and lady friends gave pretty and unique march under the di- rection of Prof Prutting of Hartford. The music was of a very high order and it was the general comment that Co E gave one of the finest sociables seen in Waterbury for many a year. The visit ing Hibernians and friends were pleas antly entertained in Co G's parlors dur ing the evening and at the conclusion of the festivities were escorted to the Scovill house.

Commendable Enterprise.

Sometimes we have felt it a duty to give. our plucky little afternoon daily a gentle rap, but that does not prevent us from giving it whatever credit it de- serves. Here we desire to say that it de- serves congratulation on its enterprise. It is able to outstrip it's ancient contem- porary. Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 the grand jury gave their verdict in the McKiernan murder case. At 5:30 the DEMOCRAT was for sale in Naugatuck bearing the finding of the jury, and be- fore the American appeared 300 copies were sold. We cannot refrain from shouting "bravo! little DEMoCRAT."- Examiner.
