In 1873 his party took him up for
Governor. He was elected, made a
Creditable chief magistrate and has
since maintained an active interest in
politics and been generally regarded
as man of great ability, coupled with
integrity. He stuck closely to his
business, putting aside the allurements
of official employment, and has &C
quired large wealth. He was dele

ted President Harrison, and kept his
State in line for the Indiana "dark
horse" throughout the contest which
gave him the prize.

Grant led at the Chicago Convention.
Once more was Blaine beaten by a
compromise, General Garfield being
nominated. In 1884 he secured the
nomination and was defeated by
Grover Cleveland.

PousHxEKpsIE BRIDGE,

Arrangements Made with All the AM
thracite Roads But One-Coal Ship
ments.
The Lehigh Valley railroad has concluded
negotiations with the Poughkeepsie bridge
system for the shipment of coal into New
England. It will use the Pennsylvania,
Poughkespsie and Boston road from Stating
ton to Campbell Hall. Arrangements are now
being made by the Reading to reach the same
market, and it has been practically agreed
upon that the Schuylkill and Lehigh rail-
road, from Reading to slatington, shall be
used, and at the latter point connection will
be made with the Poughkeepsie and Boston
road. In these contracts no amount of coal
is specifically pledged7to be shipped, but the
business will depend upon circumstances.
All the coal roads have now made arrange
ments to reach the Eastern States except the
Laokawanna. It is probable, however, coal
from this road will find its way in over the
Poughkeepsie and Boston. The New Jersey
Central and Pennsylvania railroad will come
in over the Lehigh and Hudson River rail
road, which is now being extended to Camp.
bell Hall. The Delaware and Hudson will
use the Erie's tracks.

The Iniuncti0n

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
As the State House is judicial question,
it does not become me to join in issues as to
what judge will do. If knew, which do
not, would tell no man.
1t is enough to say, that this is an issue
now between the people and their public SER
wants, who defy them; and If anyone believes
that the judiciary will shut the people out of
court on the first of October term by permit
ting the building to be torn down before the
case can be tried in open court, with wit
nesses and records to establish ownership, I
believe that those who think SO are mistaken,
for the right to restrain is right which the
people have right to ask for, and it cannot
be turned into the farce of permitting the
building to be destroyed in the interval of
the converting of the court, charged to try
cases in full.
The question of title is serious one.
After two months research, I do no hesi-
tate to assert that it appears that the State
and the county are the sole owners, and that
neither have conveyed away titles, for no
title deeds of transfer are to be found on
record, while in the case of Hartford their
town records show the deed OF conveyance
from the State to the city of Hartford under
odte OF June ~, 1919, oAecueou W xAAAoA =.
Burns, Esq, as the duly appointed agent Of
the State, signed, sealed, Witnessed and
acknowledged.
When the city of New Haven can show
such deed of quit claim of the State House
building here it would be quite early enough
to destroy it, the which court has power to
restrain, when the people by majority of
1851 votes ordered 1t to be repaired and ap-
propriated the money to do it.
The State and the county built the State
House, and the last material repairs were BY
the county of about $1,000 expended by
County Sheriff Parmalee
If the county authority has attempted to
donate the county interest to the city OF
New Haven the attempt would ne void for
want of power to make such donation.
Every piece of material in the building is
blanketed by county interest, hence even
the State could not destroy it any more than
one owner in vessel could destroy part or
the whole of It.
As to how the people feel now about
what Is going on, prominent gentleman
said to me to-day: "Make up paper and
I'll sign it for $500 towards putting the State
House back to condition and repair. There
are plenty to fill up the bill and save the
building to necessary uses, and save the
character of the city.
A similar remark by another gentleman
has bseen communicated to me. .s...-

DROPS In THE SOUND.


The Balloon Ascension at savin
Rock Yesterday The Parachute
Drop.
Yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock Prof.
Northup made another balloon ascension
from Railroad Grove, Savin Rock. At the
height of mile he dropped. The par
chute inflated after he had fallen 200 feet
and he landed in the Sound about 400 feet
from shore, In four feet of water. He was
picked up by Ed. johnson, the sharpe man,
and taken ashore The balloon sailed
away and came down in the Sound about six
miles from shore. It was picked up by tug
and johnson went after it and brought it to
shore. About 5000 people witnessed the
ascent, and the balloon was visible when
high up in the air from all parts Of the city.
Prof. Northup will probably make one more
ascension from the Rock next week.
THE OLD STATE HOUSE.
Talk About Town Yesterday-The
Present Aspects OF the Case-TO be
or mot to be-A Hartford Conference
b. Noyes on the Subject.
All was quiet at the old State House yes
terday. The sound of hammer and pick
had ceased and the doves that used to FREE
quent the inches above where the old pillars
stood returned to seek out q new reconneitre-
ing spot. Benjamin Noyes said last evening
that he was amazed to see the returning tide
Of sentiment in favor of keeping the old
State House. He met everywhere with ex-
pressions of approval and satisfaction at the
new injunction. Old friends of the cause
had stiffened their backbones amazingly and
weak-kneed ones who had changed their
opinion had come back to the fold and were
rejoicing that the building still stood. One
prominent Chapel street merchant favored
letting the building stand just as 1t is for
years to come. 1t would draw visitors like
Barnum's circus. Even now the FIRST place d
visitor to the city goes to see is the old State
House. "Why, said he, an ex-mayor Of
Providence who was here lately said: If
down the old State House I would have
called out the military" He thought the old
building well worth fixing up. Why, said
Mr.. B. Noyee, what classic structure have we
got In New Haven but the old State House.
Others thought as Mr.. Noyes did that 1t was
| a specimen of classic architecture too good
| to lose and thought that the new style OF
hlgnly ornamental arcnltecture OF to-day DID
not compare in beauty with that found in
| the classic old ruin. Other citizens denounced
the new move and the new injunction as ar
| rant humbug and sheer nonsense and held
| that as quick as the hearing was had the in
junction would fall to pieces Just as the State
Hovse would. All the efforts to save 1t would
melt away and "like the baseless fabric of a
dream leave not trace behind"
Ex-Governor Ingersoll and Attorney Geo.
D. Watrous went to Hartford yesterday and
| conferred with Judge Carpenter in relation to
the injunction to prevent the further demoli-
ton of the old State House. No definite time
for hearing on the dissolution of the injunc-
ton was fixed, but Judge Carpenter stated
that he would hold the hearing in New Ha-
ven as soon as It would be convenient for

Church-A Beautiful scene.
Yesterday afternoon at O'Clock at the
Congregational church, Rev. Mr.. Squires Of
floating, Miss Hattie E. Smith, a well-known
and highly esteemed teacher In the West
Haven school, was united in the holy bonds
of wedlook to Mr.. Frsderique Lewis, prom
inent man of Worcester, Mass. The church was
beautifully trimmed and decorated for the
happy occasion with wild flowers and roees,
and evergreen adornments. West Haven
society circles were largely represented at
the happy scene, large throng of friends
being present. The bride looked charming
in very tasteful wedding attire. Immedi-
ately after the ceremony a special reception
was held at the home of the BRIDES mother,
Mrs. James B. Reynolds of West Haven, on
Union street near Main.
The wedding gifts were numerous and
beautiful. The happy pair left on an ex-
tended wedding trip, and go to Worcester to
reside, where . handsome home admirably
furnished in every respect awaits them. The
bride is sister of Edward Smith who is in
the wire screen business in this city.
Mr.. Lewis Is of the firm of Wood & Lewis,
collar and cuff manufacturers of Troy, N. Y.
He makes his home at Worcester, Mass, and
takes charge of the New England division of
the business. During the wedding ceremony
the happy pair stood under an arch of ever
greens from which hung q floral horseshoe,
and on top of the arch were the initials "S.
& L." The bride was dressed in white silk
en- traine, trimmed with lace, and wore q
bridal veil. Over the aisle was an arch of
vines. The school children occupied seats in
the galleries.
