WARNING TO DEMOCRATS

Gov. Bulkeley Issues p Pr0cInm alton
About the Trouble
HARTFORD, Conn, Jan. 2O.--Gov.
Buckley has issued proclaim alton,
warning the Democratic State candi-
dates from attempting to take office s
for which they have not been duly quail
fed, and commanding all citizens not to
recognize their authority. He also de-
clares that he will defend the present Of
ficers in the discharge of their duties by
all the legal means in his power until
their successors are duly qualified.
Text OF the Proclamation.
The full text of the Governors procla-
nation is as follows:
cit having come to my knowledge that
certain persons, without the authority
of the law, have combined to demand,
take and hold the chief executive Offices
of this State and to perform the functions
thereof, claiming possession of said
offices under a canvass and declaration
to the Senate of this State, while the
canvass voted for is under consideration
by the General Assembly for the pur-
pose of ascertaining if any persons have
been legally elected to succeed the pres
emit incumbents, and such claims demands
and attempts to take and hold said
offices being unauthorized, illegal and
prejudicial to good order and peace of
the State, and tending to confusion in
the administration of it's government;
Therefore, by authority vested in me
by the constitution to maintain the laws
enacted in pursuance thereof, do here
by command all such persons to desist
from their unlawful acts and from in
terfering with any of such executive
officers, and all citizens of this
State not to recognize any acts
of such pretended officers, and
not to aid or abet them in their uniaw-
full acts. And, I further give notice,
that in absence of any constitutional
finding and declaration by the General
Assembly of the legally chosen execu-
tive officers of the State, and every such
attempt to enter upon or perform the du-
ties of said officers by any person or per-
sons will be resisted by all the author
ity vested in me under the constitution
and laws of this State"

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

The steamer Northam Runs Upon
Rocks In the Narrows.
Shortly after leaving her pier in New
York to start on her trip to New Haven,
Yesterday afternoon, the steamer G. H.
Northam met with an accident which
necessitated her being taken back to her
dock for repairs. The injury was not
of a very serious nature and nobody was
injured. The Northam was steaming
fair speed, when suddenly shock was
felt by all the passengers. For a short
time there was considerable excitement
and anxiety. With the sudden shock
the machinery stopped, but the boat
shot along, the momentum being suffi-
Gent to send her considerable dis
lance. Immediately after the shock the
captain and other officers went below to
the engine room to investigate. 1t was
found that the crank pin was broken
and that consequently the steamer must
return. This was announced to the
passengers and the fears if there were
any were quickly allayed. But new
danger threatened the steamer and this
was quickly realized by those on board.
She was in very treacherous water and
had drifted around so that she struck
on the rocks with grating sound. The
passengers were transferred without

On Saturday DR. Storrs Of Hartford,
performed in Windsor, on an old gentle
man, an operation for which he has be-
come known among surgeons, and of
which he gave description at the Ber-
lin Medical congress. He removed the
nerve under the eye for persistent neu-
ralgia of the face. Cutting down about
an inch below the eyelid, the doctor
lifted up the eye with spoon, and
shared the nerve near the place where it
issues from the brain. Having cut that
end, he threaded the other in a needle,
and turning it upon itself, carried it
through the tissues into the mouth,
where it was cut off short. DIR Storrs
was less than an hour in the perform
ance of this skillful operation. He was
assisted by DIR Bell of Windsor.

FIRE IN EAST HARTFORD.
New England Road Omces Burned
Out This MORNING.

EAST HARTFORD, Jan 2O.-About 1870
o'clock this morning Yardmaster Nc
Graw of the New England road, whose
offices were in Spencer & Stoughton's
block, was in the rear Office. Suddenly
he felt the floor growing hot and look
ing down he saw it vibrating violently.
Realizing what the trouble was he
rushed into the street and gave the
alarm. Hardly had he done so when an
explosion occurred and almost instantly
the block was a mass of flames. The
fire department responded promptly but
the building could not be saved and was
burned to the ground. The block was
valued at $4,000 and was insured for
$4,000. The occupants of the building
estimate their losses as follows A. o.
Stoughton, boots and shoes, $4,000, no
insurance Fred Miner, drugs, $4,000,
no insurance John Flaherty, barber,
$4,000; Spencer & Stoughton, grocers,
$4,000, insurance $4,000. All the New
England books and papers were lost,
there being no time to save anything.
The loss to the company cannot yet be
determined. The fire burned until after
o'clock this morning.
The fire started in Stoughton's boot
and shoe store and was probably caused
by stove.

NEW HAVEN, Jan 20.-There are no
wires out of New Haven north or east

been established. 1t is impossible to
send messages between New Haven,
Meriden, New Britain, Middletown,
Hartford, Norwich and New London,
where the big ice storm seems princi-
pally to have been felt. The storm
created the most damage in the vicinity
of Berlin and New Britain. Icicles have
been taken off wrecked wires an inch in
diameter. weighing nearly two pounds
to the foot. hundreds of miles Of wire
throughout the state has been broken in
so many pieces that it cannot be used
again. The new lines just completed
week ago will have to be thrown into
the junk shop. The telegraph and tele-
phone companies of the state having
wires in the storm territory estimate
their losses at nearly $3.50, 900.

opera house last night until nearly 8
o'clock, and many of the audience left
and received their money back before

was "Hoodman Blind" and Miss Tilbury
gave fresh proof of her melo-dramatic
power. Although this drama has
been successful run in the principal
cities of England and this country it
was never played in Waterbury before
last evening, and the development of
the strange story of love and jealousy
its reveals was watched with eager in
terest. Tonight ''Silver King" will be
produced.

The Scouts Daughter" is just such a
play as will awake enthusiasm here. 1t
represents life in the west, but has more
of the dramatic in it than is usually
found in dramas of this stamp. The
acting was very good all through and
the scenery and costumes were fine.
Miss Pauline Parker is a fine looking
woman and a very clever actress indeed.
Her support is very good, especially the
Richards brothers. Their specialties
are immense and the people laughed
throughout their entire performance.
A large audience was present and ap-
plauded heartily. "Scout's Daughter
