Fatal Injuries Said to Have Been
Caused by a Defective Highway.

Fatal Injuries Said to Have Been
Caused by n Defective Highway.
Miss Pauline A. Hurlburt, of Middle
bury, appeared before Judge of Probate
Phelan this morning, with the will of
the late Norton A. Hurlburt, of New
York, of which she is the executrix, and
asked to have it recorded in the probate
court and also that she be made eXecu-
triX of thesestate. Miss Hurlburt is the
adopted daughter of the late Norton A,
Hurlburt, who died last December at
Middlebury, from injuries received by
being thrown from a carriage while rid
ing on the Waterbury road leading to
MIddlebury.
Miss Hurlburt stated that the object of
having the will recorded in the probate
court, and herself appointed executrix,
was for the sole purpose of bringing a
suit for damages against the town of
Waterbury. She claims that there was
a defect in the roadway, and it was
through said defect that her adopted
father met with the accident that re-
suited in his death.
The matter was postponed by Judge
Phelan in order that the lady might
have another consultation with her law
yers, who reside in New York.

DRIVING COMPANY RACES.

Yesterdays Events the Best Ever
seen On the Local Track,
Upwards of LOO people attended the
races at the driving park yesterday
afternoon, and witnessed the most ex-
citing and interesting trOtting ever seen
in this city. Nearly every heat was hotly
contested. The 2:37 class was won by
Deception after Fannie A had taken the
first two heats. The third heat was the
prettiest of the day. Deception took the
lead at the first turn, Fannie A making
q poor start. Coming down the home
stretch the mare rapidly closed the gap
and finished dead heat with Deception.
1t was great race. Deception won the
next two heats by great effort. In the
final heat it was plain that Fannie A
was distressed. She made noble effort,
however, but the heat was taken by De-
ception with scarcely an effort. The

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
George Cooney's Miraculous ESCAPE
From Death.

From Death.
George Cooney of Willimantic, 90
years old, jumped from the fast express
on the Consolidated road yesterday
afternoon just above the Canton street
crossing in Hartford, and strange to say
escaped with only a scalp wound and a
bruised face. He was standing on one
of the platforms when a gust of wind
blew his hat off. Whether in reaching
for it he fell from the tram, or de-
liberately jumped off is not known. He
was seen by one of the trainmen, and
the train was stopped as quickly as pos
sible. He was picked up unconscious,
and carried to a switch house where he
soon recovered. The only apparent in-
juries were a scalp wound and several
bruises on the side of his face. He was
taken to the hospital where he was rest
ing comfortably last evening.
The Gilt Edge" Boston express over
the Shore Line. which left New York at
o'clock, usually meets a west bound
accommodation at East Haven, which
takes siding. Last night the express
ran by the switch and the trains collided.
The engine of the "Gilt Edge" was so
badly damaged that an extra engine
was sent from New Haven to take the
train east. No one was injured, but
travel was delayed for two hours.
James Halpin, brakemen residing in
New Haven, met with an accident last
night that caused him the loss of a leg.
He was employed as a passenger brake
man on the Consolidated road. Last
night while boarding freight train on
the Danbury & Norwalk road at South
Norwalk he fell between the wheels.
Two cars passed over his leg crushing it
so badly that it had to be amputated.
Halpin was taken to the hospital in
Bridgeport. He was on his was to
Bridgeport to visit his parents when he
met with the accident.

show An Increase.
ROCKVILLE, August 16.-The complete
census returns, as furnished by Super
visor Mclaughlin of Stafford, Tolland
county, shows a number of peculiar re-
suits. The population of the county is
"a, 1897. In 1880 it was only "a, 112,
which gives an increase in ten years of
only 775. Over one-half of the popula-
ton of the thirteen towns of the county
is concentrated in two towns, Stafford
1926 and Vernon S,S15, making 1881.
The remaining towns have only 11,546
population. Rockville is extending into
the town of Ellington and loses credit
for a number of hundred people, who
are counted in that town, but in reality
reside in Rockville. In 1880 these two
towns had 4,455 and 6,915 total of
II, $40 where the remaining eleven
towns had 12,742. There are only three
towns in the county which show gain,
Vernon of 300, Somers 1862 and Stafford
II, total 2,134. The county outside of
these three towns shows a loss of !. $50.

1t frequently pays to be a vigorous
and unblushing ''kicker." The fellow
who takes what he gets in silence and
puts up with it, whether it suits him or
not, will be too often put off with any
thing at all. The worst of everything
will be good enough for him; whereas
the man of whom it is known that he
won't allow himself to be imposed upon,
will get the best that's going.

JOURNALISTIC CHANGE.

Mr.. T. C. Williams Purchases an In.
terest in the Evening Visitor.
In the Evening Visitor of yesterday
was an announcement stating that Mr..
T. G. Williams had bought out the in
terest of Mr.. A. L. Ferrell in that paper,
and would IN the future manage the ed
itorial department.
Mr. Ferrell is one of our best citizens,
a man of great popularity and high char
acter.
Mr.. Williams is we'll known in the
city and State. He was at one time Sec
retary of the North Carolina Agricultur-
al Society. and has recently been on an
extensive tour through the Northern
States and Canada with large and hand
some exhibits of the resources of North
Carolina and the Southern States.
He will make very vigorous and
readable paper, and the CHRONICLE cor
daily greets him and offers the hand of
welcome.
In his salutatory Mr.. Williams says:
"The Evening Visitor has always posed
before the public as a non partisan
newspaper and will continue to be so in
the future, but does not promise to pass
unnoticed and unexposed such practices
and measures as may be against ths
public interest, though such practices
and measures are the acts and resorts O
party politicians

EAVES AND HIS RELIABLEa.
HE HAS COLLECTED A DOODLE
CAMPAIGN FUND.

A Letter That Explains His Presence
In Raleigh, and That Shows FrGm
Whom He Raised the Doodle.
There has been great deal of talk to
the effect that the Republicans have had
no money with which to conduct the
State campaign this year.
This question has also been asked
very freau. ntly: What is Eaves doing
in Raleigh so much2 And no answer
has been given up to date.
In the mails Saturday there came
letter post marked ''Raleigh, n. @. Oct.
31st, 4 p. m." and addressed: Editor

Upon opening the envelope, which was
sent anonymously. We found the follow
ing letter
HICKORY, CATAwBA Co., n. O.,
October 20, 1890.
Hon. j. B. EAvEs, OH'N REPUB Con-,
RALEIGH, N. c.:
DEAR SIR have not received an ac-
knowledgment OF q contribution to the
committee recently made.
Yours truly,
GEORGE D. SMITH,
Postmaster.
This explains why EAvEs has been in
Raleigh SO much. His presence has been
necessary to receipt for the money sent
in to the campaign fund by the Radical
Reliable Office holders.
1t also shows that it is great mistake
to suppose that the Radicals have not
had campaign fund for the State cam
paign.
These assessments are contrary to law
and show offensive partizanship," but
this is expected under Radical Rule.
Well, let US be thankful that today
closes the campaign of Doodle.

'udge, and as matter of last resort it
goes back to that same judge, who is to
pass upon the action of his OWN APPOINT.
EEs, who holds his Office for life and
who is responsible to nobody for his ac-
tion. Oh, my countrymen, do you not
see what danger menaces you and
threatens your liberty and suffrage.
Don't you see how powerless you are as
a citizen and a voter if this bill passes
Oh, my friends, can you bear it 9 Can
you stand lt2 Will you endure it9
Other Infamous Provisions.
The Senator gave further monstrosi
ties of the provisions of the bill, and
said that the last twenty sections
enumerated lone hundred offenses," or
named one hundred things which should
b. considered offenses under the bill If
a man touched ballot box, if he chai-
lenged vote improperly. it he had any
difficulty with marshal or supervisor,
and if he did any one of these enume-
rated lone hundred things" that citizen
was to be arrested, taken and tried before
the circuit judge and if adjudged guilty,
that citizen was to be made to pay
fine of from $500 to $1,000 and impris-
oned from six to twelve months. And
Oil my fellow citizens and country men,
the GROWING infamy of this whole
measure is that the citizen who shall be
accused of offending, in any one of these
things, shall be tried by and on
the evidence of the supervisors
and marshals at the ballot boxes
where the ofense may be charged
These are some of the measures of
the Force bill-that shameful and igno-
minicus measure-which the Radicals
are seeking and working to foist and
impose on the free and enlightened and
honest and chivalric people of the
Sout bland and this whole country.
My friends! my countrymen! can you,
will you countenance or support in any
way. or to any extent that party which
seek to so degrade and humiliate you?
An Appeal.
The Senator spoke fer nearly thsse
hours. His perorations and elab oratioas
were grand and effective.
Among his last remarks he appealed
earnestly, eloquently and fervently to
every man to let nothing but duty to
home, to country, to principle and to
! OOu 1uuuonCo nlu III lis VOGo CO-udy.
| And then Senator Ransom plead with
the people to see that their best and
strongest friend, Zeb Vance, he kept 10
their service. He did not make this ap-
peal as personal friend of Vance or as
his colleague, but as friend to the peo-
Pile; aud he asserted that the people of
this state never had truer or better
friend and would never have better
one than Zeb Vance.

FINANCIAL REFORM.
Col. Polk Writes of His Trip Through
the West.

Col. Polk Writes of His Trip Through
the West.
Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE.1
Your polite note kindly asking me to
give you brief sketch of my trip West,
received. My reception everywhere and
on all occasions was exceedingly graft
flying. The partisan press and speak
ers greeted me with the usual food tide
of slander and vitupsration, while the
people extended the warm right hand Of
cordial welcome aud good fellowship. In
Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Ohio, met
large and enthusiastic crowds, and they
evinced the deepest and most earnest
interest in the great movement for re-
form. "FINANCIAL REFORM" is the slogan
in the North West. They regard all
other issues as of minor importance
and will press this one question
to the front until relief comes.
They stand squarely and firmly on the
Sub Treasury bill, and regard it as the
measure that must lead to the relief of
the great industrial interests of the coun-
try. The members of our order in the
Great West feel deeply the absolute ne
cessity of locking hands with the people
of the South in this effort to break the
shackles of corrupt money power and
henceforth the 'sbloodly shirt" will be
powerless in arraying them on sectional
lines. They sincerely and honestly de-
sire unity and fraternity between the
people of the sections. This is the first
and grand work to be accomplished
through this great organization. Party
strife and excitement runs high. The
masses of the pc ,ple are rebelling against
boss-rule and the fight there, as in local
tiles South, is between the people who
make and constitute the parties
and the leaders who have hith-
erto ruled the parties. The
man is blind who does not see in this
mighty uprising Of the people, a revolu-
ton of industrial and economic
thought which will 60 resistlessly for
ward to great changes and reforms.
was gratiied to find that there is q grow
ing conviction among the different farm
ers' organizations that all should consol.
idate and unite all their efforts, energies
and powers to the end that the demands
of the times shall be met. The order
throughout the whole country is in finer
spirit and better and more firmly united
than ever before in its history.
, Yours hastily,
, L. l. Polk.
