And now Senator David B. Read is trotted
out for the Democratic candidacy for gov
ernor of our little nutmeg state. Mr.. Reads
friends are earnestly disposed to bring him
forward in the race, and hold that the coast
is clear, as Ex-Governor Waller will not run
again, while Luzon B. Morris of New Haven
has already been standard bearer of the
party. Besides this they assert that Fair
field county has some claims to name the
first man on the ticket. But some leading
democrats maintain that ex Governor Waller
will step in and run If the party commands
1t, and add, moreover, that Luzon B. Morris
having run 500 votes ahead of Governor
Buckley is entitled to be run again. Re
publicans, however, do not see how MT.
Morris is going to run very much ahead II ne
is run again, provided Lieutenant Governor
Merwin of New Haven is his opponent, for
Governor Merwin will be hard man to beat.
and his popularity in New Haven alone WILL
counterbalance all Mr.. Morris's name could
accomplish. But Fairfield county men say
they want recognition; that the county has
been neglected, set aside, overlooked, etc.
They point with pride to Senator READS
popularity, personal magnetism, great ca
pacity for telling good stories, sociablllty,;
good staying qualities in campaign. gooo
record in running for senator, etc. He was
elected to the last senate by s03, while the
normal democratic majority in the district is
only 400, and it had been previously carried
by republican. ALL he needs, they claim,
| is reduction of his adipose tissue, he being
no Cassius in appearance, but being jolly
soul with tendency to Falststflan proper"
| tions.
Colonel Erickson of the Fourth regiment,
G. N. G., desires Rev. DR.. Graham of Hart
ford to take the chaplaincy of the Fourth
regiment.
Hartford fire insurance companies COCA
sionally loose dollar on fires, but they in
sure SO large an amount of property widely
scattered that the balance is on the right side
of the ledger. By the Seneca Falls, N. y,
$4OO, 900 fire. Hartford companies lose SIS,
| OOO The Etna, Hartford and Phoenix COM
panies have each from SIS, 900 to $40, 900 on
| the burned district, and the Connecticut,
| National and Orient will probably lose, all
told, from $40, 600 to $4,000. All the city
| companies are in. The month of July has
been fiery month for most all insurance
companies, but Hartford companies have no
cause to complain, as the first five months of
the year have been good for their business.
| As to that suit of the state against the con.
solidated road for 100000 in back taxes,
which has been long time pending, the end
| seems now very far distant. Judge Thay-
er's finding just made will now go to the su-
preme court for fiual decision. The case now
rests on these two points: First, the right OF
the state to interfere after the board OF
second, the meaning of the term leash on
hand" whether it means each alone, or is tc
include all the material on hand for con.
| sumption by the road. The item leach or
hand >" which is now in dispute, had all Of
these materials been counted out, would
have dropped from about S., 900, 600 to abou
$500, 900. The amount of cash on hand wa
deducted from the taxable assets, and. there
fore, the larger the cash item the smaller tn
taxes.
Besides the dissatisfaction in regard to tn
award of prizes in the second class at the re
cent singing contest in this city, there i
some dissatisfaction as to the awards in tn
first class, in which the MGennerchor of Hart
ford and the Concordia of Waterbury tool
part. the Maennerchor protests against tn
Cencordia on the ground that the latter SO
ciety presented some singers who were no
Germans, namely, J.F. Dunn, D j. Dunn, VA
Booth, J Mason, J. Butler, w. j .ano N. Hughe
and ]. Al Nolan. Even If they are not pro
fessionals it is held that their not being Gel
mans Is sufficient reason for throwing on
that society. The state convention in the ia
will investigate the matter. In regard t
the trouble in the second class, j. A. SCHULZ
of the Bridgeport Concordia writes to th
Farmer Of that city, saying that Emil Peter
caused it all. His story is that Peters wa
the director of the Bridgeport Germania an
the EMBELLISHMENTS of NewHaven, com
peting societies, and thirteen months ago
was discharged from the Concordia for cause
Mr.. Schwiokardi was appointed director {
the Concordia in his place. Mr.. Schwicka
dis brother of New York, who sings at til
cathedral, New York, and Mr.. Heinicke {
New Haven were proposed and voted in {
regular members, and were in the chorr
that scored 6S out of a possible 20 in til
recent contest. They did not receive pa

cordias e8, out of a possible 20. Professo
Schwickaadi says that previous to the cor
test he offered to exclude his brother froI

and his brother had in fact been a membl

that the testimony of Professor HERNIA
| Mohr, royal director of music, now of Phili
delphia, formerly of Berlin, is that the men
Der who was objected to had perfect Iigl
to sing. Professor Schwickardi further say
that the singing of no one member woul
have changed the result.
Blue fish are now running in Brsnfo1
waters. The early appearance of thes
gamy fish and the numerous schools of then
already seen there are taken as evidence
that they will be plentiful this year.
