And all the remaining towns would con-
 tinue to hold their present representation, until, as above set forth, an increase in it's
 democratic vote would entitle town to
 increased representation.
 From this it will be seen that eleven
 towns in this county would have increased
 representation. These eleven towns cast
 IS. 143 of the ,865 votes cast at the last
 election, and they would have 192 dele
 gates as against the 36 of the other towns
 that had but 1,752 votes. In the first
 group each delegate would actually repre-
 sent about one hundred voters, as against
 one delegate for each AS voters in the sec ond group. In state convention New
 Haven county, which cast over 29 per cent. of the vote, would have nearly 29 per cent.
 of the representation.
 MT. Pigott recalls an illustration also from war times. He says:
 Turn to the appointment for the draft
 during the war of the rebellion, and you will find that it was not based upon town
 lines but upon the militia enrolment, and
 that of the 3,226 required of New Haven county 1.236 or Al per cent. were required
 of New Haven, and you will further find that New Haven furnished 1,499 men for
 that call, or 46 per cent, 5 per cent. more
 than was required of her
 Proceeding MT. Pigott gives some of his democratic confreres sly poke in the
 ribs, in pointing the democrats to the example of Massachusetts democrats which he looks upon as bright and shin
 ing example to follow. He says: . Massachusetts, where the democratic party pursues a broad and liberal policy, where demo- cratic conventions are representative of men, is crats of Connecticut although constantly out voting our chief opponents, are uniformly gov erned by the minority. It will not do for demo- crats to delay the isiue by idle pretexts. The present deplorable condition of Connecticut is a living witness to the truth of my argument. Some say: Wait until we get Q democratic legislature. We have had them, and in their stupidity we got no relief. am well aware that the democratic minority in republican legisIa- lures have time and again sought to remedy the evil, but of course without effect.
 convention of 842 is neither too large nor cumbersome. Our public halls can easily hold them Conventions of double the size are held in Massachusetts

WHAT MIR. PIGOTT PROPOSES.

More Trouble in tho Democratic
 Ranks Ahead-A New and Modified
 Plan for Representation in the
 Party Conventions.
 Attorney Pigott is out with new plan in an open letter addressed to the demo- cratic state central committee, for solving the riddle regarding a change of represen- tation in the democratic party's conven- tions; and it bodes new agitation and sor- row in the democratic ranks. Having pondered over the subject in the seclusion of his inner studio or office and taken coun- sel with other potentates of the party, he now comes forward to the front again. This new plan is modified one, and he thinks is adapted to meet the situation and overcome the objections which were raised when he sprung the representation change problem on the democratic state conven- tion some time ago, creating frst-class political sensation throughout the state.
 He now criticizes the New York demo- cratic plan as inadvisable, and approves the Massachusetts plan; but thinks the latter might be acceptably sugar coated so as to be swallowed by Connecticut demo- crats. He thinks the Massachusetts plan would, if literally followed, be better for the cities. He proposes as follows:
 A modification of the Massachusetts plan, whereby each town may continue to hold it's present representation until such time as it's increased Democratic vote would entitle it to greater voice, can readily be selected. Let there be dele grte for each 100 votes cast at the pre- csding general election, not giving to any town or city ward delegate as such, and not touching towns whose representation might be decreased, we should have a state convention of S42 instead of 504 as al present, divided by counties as follows: Hartford, 151, each representing 91 voters. New Haven, 219 each representing 91 voters. New London, S5, each representing 81 voters. Fairfield, 14s, each representing 92 voters. .Windham, 5l each representing 55 voters. Litchf1eld, S6, each representing 61 voters. Middlesex, 55, each representing 59 voters. Holland, 4S each representing 4S voters; mak- ing total in all of e4s
 To illustrate how this plan works let us take few instances.
 Orange cast 399 votes. Orange now has but two delegates. Giving her one dele gate for each 100 and the fraction over 5( makes her delegation four.
 Prospect cast thirty seven votes and now has two delegates. As her delegation would be decreased under the Massachu. setts plan we do not interfere, and let he, continue as at present.
 Milford cast 439 votes. She BOW has four delegates. When her democratic vote is increased by twelve then she will be en. titled to another delegate.
 In this county the representation of the following towns would be as follows:

PETRILLO IS SENTENCED.

He Will Remain at the Jail Until
 November 14, 1892, When He
 VIII Expiate His Crime Upon the
 Gallows-He Displays No Emotion While the Sentence is Being
 Passed.
 Promptly at 10 o'clock yesterday morn ing, when court opened, Sheriff Tomlin- son escorted Angelo Petrillo, the convict ed murderer of Michael Dimeo, into the court room to receive the sentence of death for his crime. When asked by Judge Phelps if he had anything to say why the sentence of death should not be pronounced, Petrillo replied in trem- bling and hardly audible voice:
 q aint got anything to say, but I didn't mean to do these things and never did do them If mean to do these things should have shot this man the first time he grab me. wouldn't have waited for him to grab me on the sidewalk and together and he grabbed the revolver and it to kill him.
 After Petrillo had finished speaking Judge Phelps standing up spoke as follows:
 Angelic Petrillo, as a minister of the law, it has become my duty to pronounce on you it's just sentence for the crime of murder in the first de- gree, of which you have been found guilty on a after very faithful and able efforts of learned counsel in your behalf.
 me crime or WnlCn you nave been cOnV1cCeQ is the premeditated and malicious murder of Michael Dimeo, one of your countrymen and your brother law.
 That the verdict of the jury is warranted by the evidence there can be no reasonable doubt. By taking the life of your victim you have justly forfeited your own and have no reason to expect or hope for mitigation of the penalty which the law imposes upon you-a penalty which is attached to your crime in both the divine and human law.
 You sent Dmeo to his death without mo- ment's warning, but the law, more merciful to you,gives you time for reflection and repentance, and it will become you to spend it in earnest and contrite efforts to obtain that forgiveness for your sins and especially for the awfu! crime of which you have been convicted which can only come through sincere penitence from the great fountain of divine mercy.
 The sentence of this court is that you be re- manded to the county jail for New Haven coun- ty, there to remain until Monday, the 14th day of said jail, or an enclosed yard thereof so as to avoid public observation, between the hours of 10 o'clock in the forenoon and o'clock in the af ternoon, you are hanged by the neck until you dead; and may the Lord have mercy on your soul.
 Petrillo remained standing while the sentence was being pronounced, and re- ceived his doom in almost stolid indifer- ence, hardly a muscle of his face relaxing while the sentence was being pronounced. After the sentence had been pronounced Petrillo was taken back to the jail, where he will be guarded night and day until the date of his execution. He asked the sher- if if he could not have the double cell, No. 2, at the jail. ''I want an altar in it, and I'll pray all the time" The sheriff has not promised to grant the request.

The Opening Higher-The List is Brought Up by Squirt in the Van- derbilts-A Decline in the Late Trading.

Trading.
 NEW YORK. October 20. The opening prices of stocks to-day were gen erally slightly higher, but while the tendency of the market under early demand was to advance the movement, but it amounted to but little, and the traders hammered few leading shares bringing the figures down below the opening The market was dull in the afternoon, a squirt in the Vanderbilts spurred up the entire list and better prices were reached all along the line The late trading saw considerable decline from these prices, but the close was firm, though dull, and generally at close to the highest figures of the day. The most striking advance of the day was in Adams Express, which followed the an- nouncement by the officials of the company that after due examination they find it will not suffer from the losses incurred in the Hoey trapsac- tions The stock on several sales of small lots rose to 145 to 1S4 last evening and closed at near ly the best figure
 Railroad bonds displayed great activity and a firm tone without material improvement in the leading issues. The trading reached S1, ,51O 900, Kansas and Texas fours furnishing S15O, ,OOO St. Louis Southwestern seconds $144, 900 and Reading fours S151,O0O

Court of Common PIeas-CiviI Side
 Judge StudIey.

In the common pleas court yesterday morning Phillipena Beck of this city was awarded judg ment of S159 against John N Besser of Ansonia by Judge Studley The case was set down for trial but did not come up, as the defendant acknowledged the indebtedness. Besser former ly ran saloon and grocery store on Union street in this city. He made an assignment and settled
 all claims against him except this held by the
 plaintiff in the suit. Attorney Kleiner appeared
 for the plaintiff and Attorney Goodhart for the
 defendant.
 Attorney Charles F. Bolman, as counsel for the German Funeral Benefit society of this city,
 filed answer in the case of Marie Kapitzke against the society. The case is the outcome of tha society's refusing to pay death benefit to Marie Kapitzke upon the death of her husband,
 who was member of the society at the time of
 his death some time last spring.
 When Kaptzke died the society was about to pay the widow a benefit of $500, but upon facts being discovered which tended to show that Ka-
 pitzke had misrepresented his age when he joined the society the money was withheld. It was proven conclasvely to the society that Kapitzke, when he signed his application for membership, Swore that he not over fifty five years old, which is the age limit in the or | ganization. Shortly after Kapitzke joined the society he died and then his true age was learned | to be over ffty-five. Hence the action of the l society,
