THE SENATE CONTEST.

Republican Quorum Now Present-Mr.
Gorman's Motion Causes Some Feeling.
The Senate met promptly at IL o'clock this
morning with about twenty-five Senators in
attendance, all looking fresh and well greaved
after their Sunday rest, and apparently in ex-
cellent condition and eager for the fray. The
galleries were not well patronized, only few
persons having gathered there to witness the
resumption of hostilities.
Among the first arrivals on the floor was
Senator Blair. fresh from the encounter in
New Hampshire, in which he was worsted by
DR.. Gallinger. The Senator received many
hearty greetings and condolements from his
colleagues and accepted them all with the utmost
good nature. He appeared perfectly contented
and unrufied and looked through his volum-
inous mail as calmly and industriously as
though nothing had been heard TO drop re-
Gently in the Granite state.
Mr. BLAIR MAKES A QuoRun.
The arrival of Senator Blair augments the
republican forces by one vote and secures the
presence in this city Of q quorum Of their own
members. In other words, with Senator Blair
there are now forty-6ve republicans here, or
enough to carry on the business Of the Senate
independently Of the democrats, provided they

Trying to Save the New Express to New
 York.
 The board of trade held a very inter- esting meeting last night. A report that the new Waterbury express over the Naugatuck division was to be dis continued, brought out a lively debate. After the discussion had ended the fol- lowing resolution was passed:
 Whereas, it is reported that the trial of the 7:35 express to New York has not been a success,
 Resolved, that while the board appre- ciates the efforts of the management of the road to accommodate the people of Waterbury, it would suggest that a trial of through express train to New York be made in lieu of the other, stopping at Ansonia, Derby and Bridgeport
 The question of entertaining the stats board of trade, in January next, wac taken up and it was referred to future special meeting to be called for that purpose,
 The prospect of new industry to be established here in the near future was discussed. In case arrangements are completed, and the parties brought together, special meeting will be called.

LYING DEAD IN THE WOODS,
Finding of the Remains of a Man whC
 Had Been Missing Five Months.

Finding of the Remains of a Man Who
 Had Been Missing Five Months.
 Tuesday, the third, as George Anson was hunting in the woods near the cem- etery at East Canaan, Litchfield county, his dog scented the remains of a man lying on the ground under a chestnut tree. MT Anson followed the dog and was mortified to find the body of a man in so putrid and mangIed a condition as to be unrecognizable. Dogs or some other animals had eaten the flesh from the face and limbs.
 MT Ans on notified the neighbors, and an investigation was begun. The tree was very tall one and the nearest limbs are nearly thirty feet from the ground, but up in the branches, at least fifty feet above the ground was a vest. On the ground near the body, was pair of shoes, and under one shoe was hunting case silver watch. The cloth ing left on the body showed the gar ments were originally of good material. In one pocket was found 77 cents in change.
 Medical Examiner Camp viewed the remains, and after making numerous enquiries he concluded that the man was Charles Parrott, Frenchman, who was last seen in East Canaan during the latter part of July. Parrott was con- sidered somewhat crazy and had threatened to kill himself. It is SUD- posed he climbed the tree, took off his vest and hung it on one of the branches and then jumped from the tree and was killed. The remains were buried in the cemetery near the place where the body was found.

AS YOU LIKE IT.
Stray Leaves From a Reporters Note
 Book.


 Book. Postmaster General Wanamaker needs to prod some of his subordinates with a sharp stick. Of late the service in this end Of the world has been wretched. No fault can be found with the local office, because the entire force, from the gallant colonel and his worthy assistant down to the gentleman who recently jumped into public favor by shining up the doors to the boxes, are hustlers. But when a DEMOCRAT subscriber in Naugatuck writes that he does not re- ceive the paper more than half the time, and that when he does receive it, 1t is very often day old, it is time to find fault. And when letter addressed to the DEMOCRAT is mailed at 9 a. m. in Naugatuck, it should reach us at noon, instead of 7:30 in the evening. There is no reason that 1 can think of why papers mailed in Waterbury every even ing, to a subscriber in New York ,- should be held by the postoffice officials in the metropolis until from three to five have accumulated before being de- livered.
 Ticket Agent Sackett at the Nauga- tuck station tells me that in four years has more than doubled. To New York alone nearly one hundred tickets are sold daily. The cancelled tickets are re- turned every day to the New Haven office of the company, where they are ground into pulp, after being checked up.
 "There is boy,$' said fond father to R the sDoeG ofher drF Tbe G mot5er s hss years old and delicate looking. eff, after hard days work, suggest that Jimmy carry in an armful of wood, a task usually imposed upon me, his mother will invariably demur, and would do the chore herself rather than allow the boy to do it. She IS so afraid of straining him, you know. l tell you what it is, the training he is receiving is not what his dad was treated to, and I doubt whether too much coddling will have a good effect. Boys are often made delicate by over careful mothers. Girls are still more frequently protected i from every blast that blows as though it would kill them iustead of making them strong and healthy" The speaker, I believe, was right. A great evil in children's training nowadays is that they are not taught to use their mus cles. They should do so in moderation, back" from carrying in an armful of wood or an occasional bod of coal. It is just one year since the foolhardy Captain Norton, with his wife and the latter's niece, left New London to cross the Atlantic in a life boat l designed by the old salt. The craft has never been heard from. Those who saw her get underway, says the New London Day, toward the close of a fine November afternoon, had an un- comfortable feeling that those on board were taking their last look on land, but Captain Norton coolly munched peanuts as sure of successful voyage as though his destination had been New Haven.

The African Slave Trade.

Accounts from Sierra Leone represent that the suppression of the slave trade along that coast and the consequent in- ability of the warlike races to sell their captives has caused revival of former scenes of slaughter and bloodshed. Coomassie, it is said, has again wit messed the killing of as many as two hundred victims in one day. The sav- age Wangarus recently made a raid into Dagomba, completely devastating the villages, and carrying off over two thousand captives. They were unable to get rid of the prisoners as slaves and held sacrificial feast which lasted for three days, in which every captive per- ished, not even children being spared.
