Two Prominent Members to Sever Their

Two Prominent Members to Sever Their
ConnectiOn--The Coming Convention.
CHICAGO, Sep. 2S.-J. P. Sutton, Sec
retary of the Irish Land League, has ar
cived in Chicago and says that he and
Mr.. Fitzgerald will sever their connec-
zion with the organization, He thinks
The result of the convention will be a
declaration of neutrality as between the
two factions in Ireland, and that an
other organization may be effected on a
strictly American basis. But what the
aims and purposes of such an organize
ton would be he could not say
The main feature of the coming gath
ering would be to close up the records
and career of the land league, p nd the
entire correspondence between Parnell
and other leaders in Ireland and Mr..
Fitzgerald will be submitted to show
why no convention has been held since
1885,
Mr.. Sutton thinks the convention will
also take some action looking towards the
liberation of the large sum of money held
in Paris and which neither the Parnell-
ties nor the McCarthyites can agree tc
release so that it could be used for the
people 1t is thought that the appoint
ment of an envoy by the convention to
proceed to Ireland might effect that
result.

The Steamer Circassia COllides With a
Vessel and Returns to Port.
NEW YORK, Sept 26.-The Anchor Line
Steamship Circassia, which sailed hence
for Glasgow, Saturday, returned to hel
pier last night with a hole seven feet long
and five feet wide in her starboSrd bow.
Projecting from the hole was a quantity
of wreckage, including the bowsprit and
jibboom of sailing vessel. The Cir.
cassia came into collision with lumber
laden schooner outside Of Sandy Hoo b
while she was going at full speed.
The Circassia was left in a bad con,
dition. Her machinery was disarranged
by the shock and it was decided to re
turn here. The schooner colliding with
the Circassia is the Daylight, of Boston,
which is completely wrecked forward o.
the foremast.7
The buoyancy of her cargo kept hel
afloat and she followed the steamer t.
port. The shock of the collision threw 8
number or the passengers of the Circassia
out of their berths, but no one was in

The following conversation was over
heard between two ladies at the Manga
tuck depot:
NV dear Miss Wilmot, am very glad
to meet you. When did you leave An
sonia!
Why, Mrs. Norman, I am delighted to
see you. A sight of your kind face and
the thought that | shall have your com
pany home is n real rest to me, for ] am
completely worn out with shopping You
know Julia is to be married next month,
and came up to Waterbury this morning
to buy the furniture for her new home. l
went to every other store in the city, and
finally to the Waterbu Furniture Co.
and am so provoked at myself that L did
not 90 there at first, instead of wasting my
time and strength in going around to all
the other stores, for l found there just
what l wanted and ut such prices! why,
every thing they have are regular bar
gains, every one of them. | did not much
believe | should like them, for they adj
Yertise in such queer way, and when
went in to their South Main street store
the salesman who came to wait on me was
rather stout man and so awtully
homelv. But | liked to trade with him
real we'll, he was 80 polite and accommo-
dating and seemed to know just what |
wanted. bought an elegant antique oak
chamber suit in 10 pieces for 500 90, aud
just think of it beautiful silk plush
parlor suit of 6 pieces for only SD. 90, and
such II love of center table for only So. 80
| shall buy Ill my furniture of them in
the future, and send all my friends to
them besides. And such beautiful
Quaker range it is nice enough to put in
the parlor, and
Just here the train came putting along
and we lost the rest of the story.
But it shows what one customer thinks
of the Waterbury Furniture Co., and why
it is we are constantly increasing our trade
and growing in favor with the people.

A COMPLICATED CASE.
Doubt Whether Elite Kelly Was the I.e
gal Wife of Daniel Kelly.

S@A WHO Oh Oah1eL nelly
NEwBURG, Sep. 28.-The application
before the Supreme Court at POUCH
keepsie, to compel Elite Kelly, plaintiff
to furnish security for the prosecution Of
her action against Robert N. Whelan
executor, and others, defendants, reveal
strange case Elite Kelly alleges tina:
she was the wife of Daniel Kelly, of New
burg, who died on Feb. 5, last, agec
over 70 years, and that she married him
on Nov. 8, 1888.
Kelly died seized of property in New
burg, consisting of three houses and lots
He left will by which he devised hi,
entire property to his three grand chill
dren, all minors, upon their attaining
the age of 81 yeaSs, and in the mean
time directed his executors to hold the
property in trust for their benefit. His
wife's name was not mentioned in the
will.
The executor alleges that Mrs. Kelly
is not the legal wife of Daniel Kelly, as
she was married at Goshen, N. Y, in
1881, to one Mahlen Johnson, who is still
living, and that she lived with johnson
as his lawful wife for some years.
On the other hand, Mrs. Kelly alleges
that some time after her marriage with
johnson she ascertained that the mar
riage was invalid because johnson had
another wife, Elizabeth McCarrick,
living at the time, who was a former
resident Of New Jersey, and to whom he
was married In or about the year 1868,
and that by this first marriage johnson
had two children, who are still living.
This wife, she alleges, lived until twenty,
three days after her marriage with Kelly,
when she committed suicide at the resi-,
dence of ; her brother, Edward McCar-
rick, in Unionville, Orange County.

Failure of German Socialists.

BERLIN, Sep. %. The report of the
Socialist strike Committee discloses the
entire failure of the preparations which
were being arranged to bring about
strikes in all the trades. There has been
an extraordinary general exhaustion of
the Socialists funds. Within year the
trades unions have lost half their mem
bers. The leading masons and carpen-
ters' unions, owing partly to internal
dissension, are in a state of collapse.
Since the formation of the Strike Com
mittee thirty-one strikes have been or
gained, and in every case the labor party
was defeated.

LONDON, Sep. 2S.-Sir James Fergus
sons acceptance of Office as Postmaster
General having rendered vacant his seat
in Parliament, an election contest of I'M
usual Importance is now in progress in
Manchester. The fact that Sir James
was elected in 1885 by a majority of over
1000, which was reduced to less tn an
400 the following year, does not justify
the hope that the liberals will win the
seat now. There are few dissentient
Liberals to convert in northeast Man
chester, and the probability is therefore
that Sir James will be reelected.

City Proves Futile.
PHILADELPHIA, Sep. 28.-A systematic
and thorough effort to find ex-CashieI
Livesy, in Milwaukee, Wis, has failed
utterly and there is the best of authority
for the statement that he has never been
in that city; that all of the letters ad
dressed to him there have been forwarded
to an address in Canada, where he has
been for some Time presumably since he
left Harrisburg and resigned his place as
cashier in the Treasury department
there.
1t has been discovered also that he has
been in the same neighborhood in Canada
where State Treasurer Boyer was spend,
ing his vacation. Livesy has never been
seen by any one in this city, and all in
quiries at the house where his mail has
been sent have been answered by proxy.
