Another Candidate for Mayor.

This weeks Examiner has this to say of we'll known and highly esteemed citizen of Waterbury: "We learn from reliable sources that the democrats of Waterbury have in contemplation the nomination of John Moriarty, the Grand street furniture dealer, for mayor. We give them due credit for their sagacity. If MT Moriarty only gets the nomination it is a moral cer- tainty that he will be elected He is an honorable business man of good heart and sound judgment, man without ene- mics, and who would attract many votes for republicans. If elected he would make one of the best executive officers that ever sat in ths mayoralty chair of Waterbury n

A YOUNG MANS HONEY BEE.

Lively Experience of Union city
 Boy On a Bridgeport Excursion.
 Young William Tookey of. Union City will carry about with him for a few weeks very wholesome respect for the powers of the Bridgeport bee. The lad, who is about seventeen years of age. went on an excursion yesterday to Seaside park and had an experience he is not likely to for get in hurry. He was playing on top of Bowen's bathing pavilion and struck Q bees nest. A number of the bees at tackled him and in his efforts to get away he attempted to jump through skylight and had he succeeded in his intentions would have fallen twenty-fi five feet, but would probably not have fared any worse than he did, for as he struck the glaas he shattered it, and his right leg was fright fully torn. The ambulance was called and when it arrived Tookey was weak from loss of blood. He was put under ether and five long, deep gashes were found, three of which were on the thigh, four inches long and cut almost to the bone, the other about three inches long on the calf of the leg Dr. Osborne closed the wounds, which re- quired thirty-fve stitches. The boy came to the city alone

The Air Line Disabled

There were no trains over the Air Line road in either direction yesterday. Early ill the morning the washouts occurred near East Wallingford, one of them being nearly 300 feet in length. One of the washouts was at point where the embank- ment was 30 feet high. Word was sent to New Haven and all outward trains were cancelled. Trains reaching Wallingford from the other direction were stopped there A large gang of men was put at work and last night the damage was re- paired sufficiently to allow light passen- ger train to cross. It arrived in New Ha- ven twenty five minutes behind the time scheduled for its arrival No freight or heavy trains were allowed to pass over the washed out portions of the road last night, but the laborers worked late and the trains run on regular time to day

LowiS RcartlSley Makes a Peculiar
 Move to Recover Judgment.
 There is some excitement i'll City hall and among many citizens who are cogni- Zant of the facts over an execution levied by MT Lewis Beardsley on horses be- longing to the fire department and consid erable indignation has been expressed at what is regarded as piece of legal 6nesse.
 In May, 1888, judgment was rendered against the city in favor of Lewis Beardsley for $500 damages with $7S costs, arising from the layout of Cottage Place. This judgment was held by Attorney Gil lette for his client, MT Beardsley The claim was not presented for payment un- til the 18th of July last, and an additional bill of S25.4 was added for fifteen months interest. City Clerk Kilduff received the claim but requested the signature of the acting city attorney as required by a statute in the city ordinance swhich says all claims or judgments against the city must have the signature of the city attor- ney. The board of finance which must sanction the payment of all claims against the city did not meet until the first Thurs day in August. In the meantime an ex- ecution had been taken out leving on the city fire horses for payment of the debt. Mayor BOughton and City Clerk Kildutf NneI luLeIN leWcu tlllS ulOTu1Hk were out spoken i'll condemnation of an act OH the part of q citizen of the city who would either through some spiteful or revengeful feeling levy on anything whose loss might possibly through so@e unfortunate acci- dent bring disaster on the city. With $40, ,OOO in the bank yesterday and a build ing worth S175, ,OO0, it seems very strange that neither of these was considered of sufficient worth to satisfy small claim of three or four hundred dollars.
 When the claim for damages was first made against the city Attorney Kellogg was then city attorney. Although retired from that position he has continued to act for the city i'll the matter, and there are those who think that the question has not been fully contested
 This afternoon the board of finance signed an order 10 pay the full amount of MT Beardsleys bill, amounting to S41451

piled to other foreign railroads lying in part
in this country. 1t will not be possible to
discriminate in favor of one or against an
other. Thus, il the Canadian Pacific Is re-
fused the bonding privilege, the Grand
Trunk will be refused also. The great
American trunk lines have been working, as
is well known, to secure the adoption of this
policy in regard to all the Canadian railroads
that run through our territory, and enter in
to competition with our railroads. Doubt
less such policy would enure to their
benefit, inasmuch as it would give
them a monopoly of the transport
tation of American products. But
how would it affect the people? How would
1t affect tho interests of Portland and Boston
to have the Grand Trunk cut off from trans
porting goods to and from these ports, for
that Is what the refusal Of the bonding priv
ilege means? There can be but one answer.
Every Portland merchant knows that no
severer blow can be struck at the prosperity
of Portland than would be struck by the ex-
clusion of the Grand Trunk from doing bust
ness in American territory. The Portland
Board of Trade have already forcibly ex-
pressed their opposition to any such treat
ment of the Grand Trunk as the American
trunk lines are asking, and have pointed out
the disastrous effect it would have upon this
city and State. But they should not rest
there. While the present danger threatens
they should work vigorously to avert it, A
strong committee should be selected to pre-
sent the matter to the Secretary of the
Treasury.

indian Councils

Civilization and barbarism go hand In
hand with amusing and instructive
confidence in Indian Territory. The
first of the present month there was
grand council Of delegates of all the Indian
tribes to discuss matters of general inter
est and to open the way for the formation
OF confederation of all the tribes OF Indian
Territory un Ter one government as protec-
ton against the encroachments of the whites
upon Indian soil. The pipe of peace was
passed from mouth to mouth as the braves
sat about the council fire, and the speeches
were replete with passages of the traditional
Indian el0quence. AS soon as the council
was organized by the choice Of Cherokee
to preside, Standing Buffalo arose to move
the election Of Secretary, performing the
duty thus: Brothers: What the red man
knows he soon forgets. The white men
make their knowledge fast on paper, like
catching wild animal aud tanning it, |
think it would be we'll to appon, some one
having knowledge of letters to put cur talk
or paper" Another Cherokee was chosen
for this duty. The Greek delegates did not
arrive until late, perhaps because they knew
OF the bitter feeling against them on account
of their sale Of Oklahoma to the United
States government. The bitterness of this
feeling was voiced by Ponca chief with
force, but yet with dignity. that white
man could hardly surpass. although /
have but little meat in my tepee,'' said the
Ponca, 81 will wait here for a long time, il
necessary, in order to tell the Greeks what
think Of them" These sentiments met the
approval Of the council, the consensus of
opinion being very strong both against the
sale of any part ofithe Indian country to the
government, and also against the allotment
of Indian lands in severalty. At the next
council, which will be held in August of
next year, these questions will be discussed
at greater length. The council included
representatives of many tribes, the Chero-
KEGS, Delawares, Creeks, Wichitas, Pawnees
Poncas. Otoes and Missouris being most
prominent Some of them, like the Chero-
KEGS, were well advanced in civilization,
while others, Ike the Pawnees. were wild
Indians" 1t is unfortunate that with their
appreciation of the white mans methods of
doing business, they could not also have
manifested appreciation for bis methods of
holding land in severalty. A Wichita chief
declared. "Our fields are green with grain,
our children are sent to school, and Gods
word is spoken in our little church" but
this seemed to him an argument why the
great father should not allot them lands
The spectacle Of Oklahoma does not seem to
have impressed them with the idea that the
surest way for them to keep their lands is to
substitute recorded individual ownership for
the general and indefinite ownership of a
tribe.

General John ID. Imboden, the ex-Confed-
crate, does not think the Solid South good
thing either for the people of the South or
the Democratic party. He says that il Mr..
Cleveland ''had understood the political
philosophy that placed him In power he
never would have been guilty OF the stupen-
dous bunder OF pushing the free trade bill
in December, 1887, compelling Solid North
TO rise in defense OF its wealth against
Solid South in the saddle, booted and .purred
and ready in the popular branch VI Congress
to carry out Southern ideas Of financial poll
tics of forty years ago. when there was but
one great overshadowing interest la the
South-slave-conducted agriculture" Gen.
lmboden thinks that solid North will win
against solid South every Zine; and. as
history has pretty well established this point,
there seems to be a good deal of sense in the
idea that the South will do as we'll to seek q
new issue, like the tariff issue, upon which
both North and South may be divided. Gen.
Imboden thinks the time has come for such
division. But he is wise enough not to pre-
dict the date of the event.

An Abolished institution.

To the Editor Of The Press:
Some people seem to show by their acts
their belief that the Sabbath is abolished as
an institution. but one doesn't hear it often
declared as a settled fact. The Sunday boats
frequently bring boys and others who greatly
annoy the quiet residents of Peaks Island by
their marauding habits. Sunday one OF
these hoodlums was making short cut
through the pening grass when the owner
asked the young trespasser If he didn't at
tend Sunday school. "Oh! no." was the re-
ply, "that stopped long ago." 'And do you
keep the Sabbath" was then asked. "No,
that's done long ago, too" replied the incor-
rigible. as he serenely tramped his way into
an adjoining field, where he wrenched off the
limb of an apple tree as souvenir of his
yiett
