The Unique Admission Fee to be De-
manded at an Entertainment.
MAKING GRAY-BEAHDS PONDER.
Decorating for the Reception Of the Scotch
Irish Congress.
SOCIAL EVENTS IN THE TWO CITIES

A delightful entertainment will be given
on the evening OF June 8, in the Second
Presbyterian Church, to which the admis-
sion fee is both novel and unique A book
Of any sort, on any subject, IN any binding,
by any author, will be acceptable at the
door, and on receipt Of such the bearer will
be joyfully welcomed in the Sunday school
room where the entertainment, puerly liter
ary and musical, will be held. The object
Of this entertainment is the reflling Of the
shelves OF the Sunday school library that
has by constant demand and patronage be-
come in almost the deplorable state that
Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard is famed
for.
The book admission plan was tried once
before by the officers of the Sunday school
IN like emergency, and with such excel
lent results that the success of this event
and the consequent supply of good, healthy
literature is assured.
EXERCISE FOR THE BRAIN.
In this manner all thinking persons in
the adult congregation rack their brain for
the memories of youthful day reading, and,
deciding upon the volume that made the
most wholesome impression upon their
minds, and forthwith purchase q copy to
present with their compliments; while the
younger and the Juvenile members, each
having at some previous time read book
that they were keeply interested in,
do likewise, and thus a collection is
obtained that in scope and variety is far
superior to one consisting of the same num-
Der OF volumes selected by a committee
whose tastes are quite likely to run in
certain channels. The individual books,
however, are subject to the approval of CON-
petent judges, and anything that would not
tend to the elevation and broadening of the
mind of the reader will be forbidden space
in the library, though the range is liberal,
inviting good novels, historical and poetical
works and books of travel, and is not con-
fined to the Sunday school book where the
hero or heroine die young on account of an
over abundance of piety.
A GOOD PROGRAMME.
The entertainment will consist of reading,
recitations and musical selections by the
Sunday school, individually and collect
lively, and also recitationS by Miss Harris,
the talented elocutionist. Interspersed
through the programme will be selections by
the SchmertZ Orchestra and the grand finale
will be an instrumental duet bv two China
men, members of the Lee family, who will
render upon the banjo and violin of their
native country, such music as those who
have not previously had their curiosity graft
fed regarding Chinese music, will be inter-
ested in hearing.

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.
Walters one Reason For Refusing
 the Democratic Nomination.


 A dispatch from New London says In an interview last night Mir Waller said Il have repeated over and over again all care to say, and l have been reported as saying things 1 never dream ed of saving about the guhernatorial nomination. The state central commit tee knows, the public knows and the delegation from this city knows that am not candidate, and could not aC- Cept nomination if it was rendered. The democratic nominee for governor will, in my opinion, have to attend to the duties of that office for tLe newt two years, and l have for that period made other engagements.
 The name of J. B. Sargent of New Haven, Is being mentioned in Connec- tiun with the democratic nomination for governor.
 According to the New Haven i'alla- dium. Frank Brandegee, of New Lon don and Milton Shumway, of killingly. are out of the race for seCre tary of state on the republican ticket. and the field is clear for Lawyer George r. Mclean. of Simsbury and Hartford.
 The New Haven Register announces that General w. w. Skiddy, of Stam- ford has not had the least intention of being a candidate on the state ticket"
 It is reported that Bulkeley delegates to the republican state convention were elected ill Essex Thursday evening.
 There is some talk of an appeal to the town committee against allowing the delegates declared elected at the third ward primary election, to sit in the con- ventions. Hackers of the defeated ticket do not hesitate to allege that the box was stuffed" by the opposition and that an investigation would show that names were checked of parties who did not go within mile of City hall on the day of election.
 It is sad that Miles F. Connolly will run an independent ticket at the coming town and city elections. X DEMOCRAT reporter had the temerity to interview Connolly on the subject to-day. He neither denied nor affirmed the truth of the rumor, and is evidently angling for concessions from those who fairly de- feated him at the polls. They should not be granted come what will.
 John F. O'Brien called at the DEMO- GRAF office to-day to say that he had ab- solutely no hand in the making up of the third ward ticket. D. J. Mahaney makes the same assertion in regard to himself.

 James Little was the first on Chief Egan's list this morning in the police court. His old failing had again landed him prisoner. Thirty days and costs in jail. for, drunkenness, was the sen tence.
 Thomas Lean. a youth of 9, stole a clock from his home Saturday, and tried to sell it. His sister discovered him wi,h the property and took it away from him. His father had him arrested and this morning swore that the boy has not worked for some time, but is supported by him. The young man was fined S5 and costs with 30 days in jail
 Thomas Ney, another youth of the same age, was charged with breach of the peace against his parents. Thomas has not worked three months in the past three years and wears his brothers clothes for a change once and while. Saturday he raised a disturbance at his home, called his mother names and threatened to break in the door. He was fined S1 and costs.
 When the name of Harvey Couse was called, Attorney Burpee asked to ad- iuurn to the other court room. Here none were allowed but lawyers, police men, the prisoner and the press. The case against CouSe was continued from last week and was for sending obscene literature to Mrs Hattie Snyder. At torney Burpee asked the latter and a lady friend, who was with her, to step out of the room for moment while he read one of the letters. \ tilthier com position was probably never conceived. Attorney Burpee did not read the letter through, as the language was something terrible. Attorney Donahue, who ap- pearcd for Couse, pleaded that the de fcndant was probably insane on the sub feet and asked for light sentence. The woman in the case is niece of the pris- oner and formerly acted as his house keeper. CoU$e said he had four chil- drrn depending on GiHl for support and for that reason Judge BraIstrrrt was disposed to be ltnient and imposed tine of Sl5 and cOStS.

BS the Cars.
 The Boston x New York limited ex- press over the New England road struck an old man named William Miller Sat urday afternoon and instantly killed him. The train, owing to a bad washout on the line between Willimantic and Boston, was about s' hour late and when going through Mauch ester the en. gineer was endeavoring to make up time and was running about sixty miles an hour. Miller who was walking upon the track, was struck and carried nearly quarter of a mile. His face was so badly mutilated as to be unrecognizable. The mans legs and arms were broken, as was also his back, while the whole top of hls head was knocked off and his brains were strewn upon the track.
 John Bogart. aged 66, of New Haven. went on spree yesterday afternoon and afterwards turned hIs wife out of doors. The police were called, but before their arrival Bogart took a dose of Paris green and died a few hours later.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

Two Trains Come Together With
 Force at south N0rwalll.
 The Boston express leaving Hartford at 3:25 and due in South Norwalk at 5:2o dashed into the commut DTS train on the Danbury X Norwalk branch of the Housatonic road at South Norwalk Saturday night and did considerable damage to the train, besides iniuring Z some thirty or forty of the passengers.
 The accident was seemingly the result of N,arclessness. The HousatoniC train had just left the station going north, when the express. which was late, came suddenly around the curve to the east ward and dashed into the last coach of the Danbury train, throwing it from its tracks. The passengers on both trains were badly snaheI up. Several physi- clans were summoned to rake care of the injured. and all are doing nicely.
 This morning Superintendents Shepard Of the Consolidated and Payne of the Danbury & Norwalk road began an in- vestigati0n, in South NOrwallS. into the cause of the accident. All the mon con- nected with both trains were summoned and examined, but nothing will be gwen out for publication. All the in jured people have been removed to their homes, with the exception of George P. Waterman, whose condition is critical, owing to his great age, Il years. He is being cared for by friends in South NOrwalk.
 The train on the Danbury X Norwalk road that met with the accident had another narrow escape before reaching its destination. At Norwalk the rear car cOllided with train on siding and left the track. The rear car of both trains was badly damaged. The pas sengers were shaken up, but no one was injured. The matter was kept quiet by the officials. but the fact leaked out.

Hogs Dead and Owing I'm n C.r

WILLINANTIC, Sept S,-Yesterday per sons crossing the railroad tracks near the freight house detected a peculiar odor. Upon investigation it was found that one of the cars on a siding was loaded with hogs, many of which had died, while all were suffering greatly for food and water. T. s. Weeks, local agent of the Humane society, attended to their wants and removed the bodies of the dead swine. The pigs were con signed to Sperry & Barnes of New Ha- ven, but were shipped here by mistake.

What Officials and Knights Say.

District Master Workman Lac de- clared that if Reed was d K. of L. he was not striker, and his absence from work was probably due to his taking n few days vacation.
 Superintendent BIssell when asked if he could give some facts concerning the arrest, replied that while he knew of it he would refuse positively to say any thing about it.
 C"nt"im E:>t; fniinkerton smiled when he was interrogated, and plaintively remarked, ''l did not arrest him." Then he continued: He as not arrested by my men, and i: 1 know all about it I cannot say a word concerning it."
 It is understood that the reticen ce of the railroad officials is due to the fact that seveSal men here and in East AL bany are being shadowed, and it is not deemed best to alarm them.
