WAsulNGToN, Dee. 2l.-The elections
bill was further discussed in the Seuate,
Senator Spooner opening with long
speech in support OF the measure. A
strangerin in the gallery, he said, listening
to the debate, without knowledge OF
the history OF the country, would be
impressed with the idea that all the love
OF liberty and devotion to the Consttu.
tion and i.esdom from partisanship were
to be found on the other side Of the
chamber.
Gentlemen opposing this bill dc.
nouncsd it as clearly unconstitutional,
and spoke OF their devotion to the Con.
stitution. He begged them to remem-
Der that devotion to tho Constitution
was not confined to the Democratic side.
This debate had been characterized by
something Of rudeness.

BRIDGEPORT, Aug. 9.-Thomas Bridge
forth, coored man, black as midnight, On
Thursday took out a license to marry Miss
Anna Temlett, comedy Eoglish woman,
who has lived for several years In the family
of Charles B. Wheeler of Long Hill. The
match was opposed in every way by MIR.
Wheeler, but the big negro completely In
fatuated the girl, who has had many white
admirers, and che would listen to no ones
advice. Brdgeiorth has been in Long Hill
for several years, and when at work for Se-
lectman Hobart Wheeler he lived with a
muiatto woman, and was the father OF six
children. He treated the mulatto woman
brutally, and Selectman Wheeler compelled
him to send her back to Virginia. Bridge
forth claimed that ho never was married to
the woman, though he said the children
were his. The couple insist that they will
have big wedding in the African church
here, and there is DO law to prevent, unless
it can be shown that the southern mulatto
was Bridgeforth's wife.

The Railroad Strike.

New YORK, Aug. 9.-There was consid-
erab!s improvement in the situation at
Grand Central depot this morning, az COM
pared to that of last night, and the notice
announcing temporary suspension of pas
senger traffic was taken down. Between
ak and ten o'clock seven trains came in
some were through trains and other locals
Vics. president Webb said that he did not
think the matter would assume gigantic
proportions, and that men would be found
to man the trains. The mSjority OF those
who have left are switchnen end yardmen,
and their places are being filled as rapidly
ss possible. This morning large crowd
of railroad men came over on the ferrle', all
bound for the Grand Central depot. They
are N, silly switchmen out of work. Five
trains left the Grand Central this morning,
aud tie officers of the road are of the opinion
that by tonight they will have the road
running In very fair order. Al the Grand
Central depot large force of police was
On hand to preserve order and pro-
;ect the property Of the road, but no dis
tnrbsucs OF any kind was reported.
The New York Central officials feel cor fl
dent that the interruption to travel will be
of short duration. La the meanwhile the
bes5 that can bs done will bs done for the
bene fi5 OF their patrons. This morning q
uumbsr of men from points up the State
add from New Jersey arrived and were a.
once put to work.
at the Grand Central depot this morning
thu number of trains to be sent out to-day
was announced.
At the yards of the West Shore road every
thing is reported to be working smoothly
and all trains are arriving and departing on

the roundabout way to get there, either BY

TO Say 90. In this he agrees with all other
