Tho situation From Democrat IL
and Republican standpoint.
HARTFORD, Jan l9.-Thc republican
members of the general assembly Will
hold Il caucus this evening to determine
upon the plan of action for the future.
The state central committee VIII meet
with the legislators and it is expected
that action will be taken which will
shape events To come. Speaker Paige
was in consultation with Judge Haru-
son, Saturday, and the outlook was
thoroughly CauvaSsrd. Judge Harrison
has from the first maintained that all
the democrats should be seated below
the governor, us soon AS the committee
becomes satisfied that they are elected.
Chairman Benton Of the republican
state central committee says that no
attempt will I've made 10 elect Governor
MerwIn when the house and senate
come together to elect United States
senator, and that this plan has never
been contemplated, but some prominent
republicans have favored the idea. Mr.
Benton does not think that Judge Nor
ris will attempt to carry ON u separate
form of government and thinks that
such action would not amount 10 much,
but admits the power of the senate to
cut off all appropriations for the coming
year.
" nat lIlC ESDupIChI CAUCUS anu StSbC
central committee will do tonight can
not be determined, but it is expected that
the passage of the Hotchkiss resolution
to open the ballot boxes will be recon-.
mended, after the report of the inveSti,
eating committee. AS the republicans
have only four majority on a joint bal
lot the state central committeeman are
all on hand and responsible for the APP
pearance of every man from their dis
trict when the senator is balloted for.
There seems te be some difference oi
opinion as to the course for Judge Nor
ris TO pursue. Among the democratic
leaders Senators Pierce, Holden anu
Seymour, who are lawyers, Attorney
Hammersley of Hartford and Hon
Alfred +. Burr, of the Times, Were
strongly in favor of Judge Morris taking
the oath of office, while Judge Stoddard
of New Haven and Editor Osborn of the
Register opposed the idea.
The house investigating committee
convened again this morning.
The first witness called was c. C.
Kline, chairman of the republican town
committee of Meriden. He produced q
package of /, 900 ballots, which had moi
been opened. received from the Case
Lockwood u Brainard company. Many
of the ballots were found specked.
NJ. ii. Casey, foreman of the Case
Lockwood 4 Brainard office testified
that the marks ON the Bridgeport ballots
were in his opinion, caused in printing.
Attorney Case made Il statement show
ing the absence i'll some cases of spe'
cific statements by moderators, as re.
puired by law, for their action in throw
ing out ballots. The committee then ad
journed subject to the call of the chair
man.
The democratic members of the as
sembly are coming in to day in large
numbers to attend to-night's caucus.
Everyone acknowledges that Hon Carlos

SUNDAY WRECKS,
Two Accidents on the New England
Yesterday Morning.

About , o'clock, yesterday morning
the people living IN the vicinity of Clay
tons station, near New Britain, were
awakened by a loud crash, which upon
investigation proved to be another dis
astrous wreck ON the New England
road. The east-bound freight train No
las had stopped at Clayton and engine
No 145 was switching cars loaded with
brick on a side track at the station,
when another east-bound freight train
rounded the sharp curve west of the
station and crashed into five cars and a
cabooSe which had been left on the
main track. The top and sides of the
caboose were torn off, two of the freight
cars were smashed into splinters, and
the rest of the cars badly wrecked. No
one was hurt. Owing to the decided
curve it was impossible for the engineer
of the approaching train to see the OBJ
struction, and when the brakes were
put on they failed to stop the train be-
cause of the icy condition of the rails,
At 8 o'clock Sunday morning also,
another smashup occurred on the road
at Bristol. Freight train first ~ was
standing on the track taking on some
extra cars when second 72 crashed into
it, throwing five cars off the track and
putting them in condition for the re-
pair shop. This accident was due to a
misunderstanding of orders, and as in
the first the engineer and fireman saved
their lives by jumping.

A League Composed of Connecticut
and Massachusetts Clubs.
The admission of an American associa-
ton club to Boston shuts New Haven
out from the association next year, and
unless a league is made up of Connecti-
cut and Massachusetts clubs, people
hereabouts will not have the opportunity
to enjoy the national sport next
season. A movement is already on
foot to organize league composed
of clubs representing Worcester, Hol-
yoke, Springfield, Hartford, New Haven
and Waterbury. Gentlemen from Hol-
yoke were in Hartford Saturday and
consulted President Lang of the base
ball association and Charles Soby in re-
gard to the prospects Base ball men in
the other cities of the proposed league
will be communicated with, and if the
outlook is favorable a meeting will be
called and formal steps will be taken to
organize a league.
