Waterbury evening Democrat., 1890-11-04

Both Root and Sake, the democratic candidates for representatives, were scratched to some extent, but without doubt each will receive a good majority. It is not thought that the opposition to Tomlinson, candidate for sheriff, will amount to much.
 The election was one of the quietest ever held in Waterbury. Except during the noon hour there were no great crowds around the polls. The voting was not spasmodic as is usually the case. All day long a steady and well drilled stream of humanity approached the polls, deposited their envelopes and passed on.
 It is barely possible that the entire pro- hibition vote will be thrown out under the provisions of the secret law, the in structions in regard to the headings not being followed. The word "For" pre- cedes the names of the office in each in stance on the state ticket, and instead of Representative in Congress" the head ing For Congressman" is used. If these ballots are declared illegal the democratic state ticket will be elected beyond a doubt. -,. 4. ec At s o'clock a conservative estimate

From an advance slip of the depart ment chaplain's annual report the fol- lowing facts are gathered, showing the great interest throughout the state in the services and duties of Memorial Day in love and loyalty, honoring the graves of the noble dead Eighty-five clergy men participated in the services, repre- senting the following religious denomi- nations Congregational, Methodist, Universalist, Baptist, Roman Catholic and Episcopalian. Ten Methodist churches were opened for memorial ser- vices, twenty-two Congregational. one Roman Catholic, five. Baptist, three Episcopalian, two Universalist and nine public halls.
 Sixteen bands of music and about as many drum corps rendered their ser vices. Four thousand two hundred and five of the comrades were in line. Seven thousand seven hundred and twenty-seven graves were decorated. Seven hundred and eighty-seven graves are yet without headstones, the number of which will be greatly reduced before the annual encampment, as the quarter master-general is already issuing the necessary orders for grave stones as fast as the requisite town proof of the claim is presented. Every G. A. Post and every town should act at once in this matter, so that by the nexl Memorial Day no soldiers grave in this state shall | be found without hsadstone.

one of the Victims of Gas Dies
 Without Identtncation.
 The body of the woman who died at the hospital in New Haven yesterday from the effects of inhaling Illuminating gas has not been identified. The woman is apparently from thirty-tive to thirty eight years old. The hair Is a very dark brown, almost black, and the eyes are dark. She is about five feet three inches tall, of full figure, her weight being about 40 pounds. On the third finger of the left hand is a plain gold ring. That is the only ornament found on her person. The only other article of her possessions which was found besides the clothing was a brass thimble. The bon net is of black velvet, trimmed with jets, black beads and velvet ribbons She had a short black satin dolman, quilted, edged with black fur, and hay ing black fur collar about nine inches deep. The dress is of black serge. She had black worsted gloves, white stock ings, cloth congress gaiters with patent leather tips, and white muslin apron with flounce at the bottom, also white flannel underwear.

Did Not Desert Hts Com panions.

"I hear have been accused of having deserted Second Mate Walker and Look out Harry Gainer; that I Intentionally left them on the sinking vessel. That is not true. Walker was ordered to take charge of the boat so that the Spaniards could not steal it. When we pushed off from the sinking vessel neither Walker nor Gainer was around. It was their fault that they did not get into the boat. After we had left the Hargraves heard Walker yelling to me. I yelled back for him and Gainer to jump overheard and we would pick them up. You see, if we had gone back to the sinking schooner the Spaniards would have made a rush to get into the boat, and, undoubtedly, all of us would have been drowned. If Walker and Gainer had jumped overheard then we would have picked them up. I think I did what was right"

The Hargraves Had the Right of Way
 The Vizcaya People Realized Their Dam
 ger Too Late--The Captain Repudiates An Reports of COwardic" - He Says He
 Did Not Desert tue Second Mate.
 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4.-Captain John Allen of the nl-fated ooastwise schooner Cornelius Hargraves, whose collision with the Spanish passenger steamship Vizcaya off Barnegat Thursday night resulted in the sinking of both ships and the loss of many lives, is now in this city. To re- porter Captain Allen gave a brief story of the great marine disaster, and repu- diated all reports that he had not done his full duty as the commanding officer of the Hargraves.
 When he arrived at the offices of Samuel J. Boucher, 212 Walnut street, there were many friends to greet him. After several minutes of hand shaking the captain of the ill-fated schooner excused himself, stating that he wanted to don some bet ter clothes. When a reporter approached him about the disaster, Captain Allen said he had read the statement of First Mate Fearing in the newspapers, and it was in substance just what he would give as to the cause of the disaster.
 Due tO CareIessness.
 II think my first mates account of the cause of the collision is mainly correct, ' continued he, but I cant say that agree with him regarding the action of the Nizcaya's officers. My opinion is that there was not any lookout on the Viz caya at all. The disaster was due to the carelessness of the officers on the Spanish steamship. Just who was culpable may never be known. So far as 1 am con cerned adhered to maritime law and did my duty to the letter. If there had been | lookout on the Nizcaya 1 really don't see how there could have been a collSzon We saw the green lights of the. steamer several miles away, about a half houl | before the disaster occurred. Our red | lights, which were in perfect order, were burning. When Fearing informed me $ steamer was in sight, 1 went on deck | The steamship was running at 12 knots | and hour and we were going along at about seven knots. Being sailing vesse and on the starboard side we had the l right of way.
 The steamer pressed down upon us l Feeling that something was wrong, | took an extraordinary precaution o having a torch waved, but the steamer kept bearing down upon us. Then l jumped for the steam whistle and sounded it. Here the ViZcaya people seemed tt l realize the danger and the steamship: course was changed, but it was too late Both vessels were so large that neithe, could veer about in an instant. w, | struck her amidships. That's how it al happened. It was gross carelessness oI
