Hardlman and Tom Carpenter Win
the First Days Events.
There was an attendance of about 500
at the first days races of the Waterbury
Driving company, yesterday afternoon.
The track was in excellent condition and
fast time was made in both classes.
In the $3.50 class Hardiman was the
favorite and won three of the four
heats quite handily. In the first heat
Fannie A made great burst of speed
and landed in second place. The second
heat was one of the best of the day and
was taken by Judge Burple with Hardi-
man at his neck. The last two heats
were easily taken by the favorite. The
summary follows.

the owner to identify the animal before
he could receive any money.

A DEMOCRATIC GAIN.

tuck VIII Have Two Representa-
tives.
Naugatuck is the only town in the
state which will gain n representative by
the recent census. None of the eighty
six towns having a single representative
has passed the 5000 mark, with the sim
gle exception of Naugatuck, which, if
the approximate figures are correct, has
advanced from 4, ia to Q, 219, or, as 9TH
or returns put it, 6,3S5. The town has
been democratic in every election since
the Buchanan-Fr Fremont campaign.

HEAVY TRAVEL OVER.
Rest For the New England Railroad
Officials.


The last of the special G. A. r. trains
passed over the New England road en-
route to Boston yesterday morning a
little before 8 o'clock. Since late Satur-
day night the trains had been coming
and had been rolling along without ces-
sation. Twenty one through special
trains were sent over the road without
nGshap or accident of any kind. Yes
terday morning, when it was thought
that all travel had ceased, Superintend-
ent Charles n. ChevalIer received a tele-
gram that there was party of 125
people on the Erie road who wanted
transportation, and he Immediately
made up train and carried them safely
to Boston. Since Saturday night Mr.
Chevalier has been at the western termi-
nus of the road, receiving the trains,
regulating the cars and inspecting all
trains to see that they were all right,
and finally sending them along to their
destination. His work has been trying
and tiresome, but the absence of acct
dents and the satisfaction of the passen-
gers shows that it has been highly sue.
cessful and the railroad is fortunate in
having such careful and able officer.
Assistant Superintendent c. b. Phelps
has also worked hard and successfully
and has been of great service in moving
the trains. The freight trains were run
regularly yesterday as usual.

An Attempt VIII Be Made TO Raise
Young Bushnell's Body.
MADISON. August lathe body of
Levi Ives Bushnell, the young student
who is thought to have been drowned
while fishing off the Madison shore last
week, has not yet been recovered. The
belief that he was drowned by falling
overheard, while hauling in the anchor
steadily grows stronger. The anchor
which was always kept in the boat is
missing, as is also some forty feet of
rope which was fastened to it. The nom
appearance of the body is explained by
the theory that his foot or other limb be-
came entangled IN the rope and is now
held to the bottom by it. Preparations
which will undoubtedly result in the re-
covery of the body will be made in a
few days. Contractor. Sullivan has
voluntarily stated that he would make
an attempt to raise the body provided
he was given guarantee that he
would not be prosecuted by the
fish commissioners. Mr. Sullivan
is an experienced man in the handling
of giant explosives and is surrounded by
a set of men experienced in the same
line of work. His plan is to set blank
dynamite cartridges at certain distance
apart at the bottom of the sound within
a radius of 10 miles and discharge them
all simultaneously by electricity. This
plan if carried out will not only raise the
body by the force of the explosion, but
will also raise any light body or object
which may be resting on the bottom.
1t will not end here, however, for the
shock will be so great as to kill all the
fish in the vicinity of the explosion. Mr.
Sullivan says he will surely raise the
body in this way unless it is held to the
bottom by the anchor rope.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
a Tired Brakeman Struck and Killed
BY the Cars.

BY the Cars.
The dead body of a trainman was
found by the side of the track near the
western yard limit of the Central New
England s. Westeran road, at Canaan,
yesterday morning. The unfortunate
man was about 81 years old, and from
cards in his pockets was evidently c. H.
Maxwell of Rocky Hill. He was brake
man on one of the extra freight trains,
and had evidently been sent back to flag
a train, probably the night express east.
Then he went to sleep and was struck.
His skull was smashed and he was prob
ably killed instantly. The body was sent
to Hartford. Trainmen say the crew
had been on duty for twenty-four con-
secutive hours without opportunity to
sleep.
Winfield S. Phelps, aged 40, employed
by the Higganum Manufacturing COM
pany as night Waterman, was found
dead at o'clock this morning. A trail
of blood was found leading from his Of
fee to an adjoining shop twenty feet
distant, where the body was found.
Death was caused by hemorrhage. The
register showed that the Waterman made
his last round at 500 o'clock. 1t is be-
lieved that when taken with the hem
orrhage he attempted to go for help and
died before he could reach the adjoining
shop. He was a veteran of the war and
leaves a wife and six children.
William Stone, SO, an old resident of
Burlington, committed suicide Tuesday
about 0 o'clock, by opening the radial
artery in his arm. He fingered bleeding
until 5 p. M. Depression over the re-
cent death of his sons wife with whom
he lived is the supposed cause.
The body of Jeremiah NJ. Sullivan, a
laborer, aged 53 years, was found near
the New London custom house wharf
Monday. In his pockets was $21.50.
Deceased was a widower. Five sons and
one daughter survive him.

Entire Satisfaction.

Entire satisfaction
A taxpayer residing i'll the Mill Plain
district requests the DEMOCRAT to call
the attention of the town board of edu-
cation to the condition of the school
grounds in that district. There is no
fence, and the yard is filled
with stumps and stones, which have
caused many accidents. Last winter
some of the scholars while sliding from
the yard into the street collided with an
OK team and narrowly escaped being Sc
riously injured. Two years ago the tax
payers of the district voted to have the
grounds properly graded. and it is alleg-
ed, Committeeman Mark Warner was
instructed to do the work but has not
lifted hand in the matter. The gentle
man says he voices the feelings of many
people living in the Mill Plain district,
and expresses the hope that the town
committee will refuse to appropriate any
thing for the support of the school I'M
til the grounds are placed in decent con-
ditiOn,

Samuel w. Bentley is probably the
oldest conductor in continuous service
in the state if not in New England. 1t
is over forty years since he commenced
railroading, and he has been a conductor
over thirty-three years in connection
with the New Haven & NORTHAMPTON
railroad company. During that time he
has run every train on the road but
two, and has never lost passenger by
accident. For the last seven years he
has been running on the New Hartford
branch, and by his fidelity and faithful
services he has well earned the vacation
which has recently been given him by
Superintendent Yeomans.

FORAkER'S DISGRACE.
Even His Old Friend, the " Independent
Coos Back on Him.

Even His Old Friend, the independently
Goes Back on Him.
1t is painful to see a prominent pub
lie man like General Foraker, twice
Governor of the State of Ohio, occupy
ing such a humiliating position as he
occupied before the Congressional in
vestigating committee. In the Guber-
Material campaign in Ohio last fall it
was alleged that certain paper was in
existence, signed among others by J. E.
Campbell, the Democratic candidate for
Governor. and purporting to be a con-
tract to divide the financial profit in
vOlved in the furnishing of new ballot
boxes when pending bill providing for
such boxes should have passed and be-
come a law. Before the campaign
closed it was known that the alleged
signatures to the contract were
forgeries. A Congressional committee
is now investigating the matter, two of
the members of the House, Messrs. But
terworth and Mckinley, and Senator
Sherman being among those involved.
General Foraker was one of the wit
nesses. His testimony shows that he
heard soon after he was nominated that
such a paper was in existence; that he
tried to get possession of it; that he en-
tered into an agreement with one Wood,
by which he was to recommend the lat
ter for a certain municipal appointment
on condition that Wood secured the pa
per for him: that finally Wood got the
paper and the Governor gave him his
recommendation; that Wood professed to
get the paper of John r. Mclean. of the
Cincinnati Inquirer, through the 1atter's
secretary; that when Foraker read the
paper he was surprised to find the name
of Senator Sherman, as we'll as those of
Messrs. Campbell, Mckinley, Butter
worth and others attached Subsequent
ly he showed the paper to Mr.. Murat
Halstead, telling him that he had got
more than he had bargained for, and did
not see how he could use it He testi-
fies that Halstead said that he could use
it with Campbell's signature simply,
Campbell being the only man named
before the people, and it being public
duty to keep such man from being
Governor of the State. The document
was published in Halstead's paper, the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, with
Campbelrs signature only. Before the
close of the campaign the Gazette re-
tracted and declared the paper forgery.
Meantime, however. Foraker had used
the paper, with ballot-box as an OBJ
ject lesson, in . speech in Music Hail.

he was making = brilliant campaign
He says that while he believed the pa
per and signatures genuine at the time.
he now sees that he was too easily de-
ceived, and feels humiiated. He may
we'll feel humiliated. He ought to have
known that it was impossible that some
of the men implicated could have signed
such a paper; but evidently he was too
willing to advance his own political
fortunes to care who suffered OF course
