CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION.
Action Taken by the State Democratic
 Club on the Pardee Resolution.

Action Taken by the State Democratic
 Club on the Pardee Resolution.
 At meeting of the State Democratic club held in New Haven, yesterday afternoon, the subcommittee, consist ing of Simeon E.. Baldwin, Morris O. Root of Waterbury, appointed by the executive committee to consider the Pardee resolution, made the following report:
 ''Whereas the present unsettled con dition of our state government, and the numerous questions of constitutional constructions that have given rise to it, show the imperative necessity of re vision of our state constitution, and
 "Whereas no state in the union has been so long without a constitutional convention as Connecticut, and
 "Whereas, constitutional amend ments to secure such convention have been proposed by the house of represen- tatives in 1848, 1855 and 1887, and the bills for public acts for the same pur- pose have been prepared and printed with the session laws in 1859, 1873 and 1875, by order of the general assembly, and all these measures have been killed in the succeeding legislature by politi- cal influences unfriendly to revision of the constitution.
 Resolved, that tlls club favors the calling of a constitutional convention to revise our state constitution; combine the amendments to It with the original instrument, in an orderly, harmonious and consistent form; make plain all it's provisions; and secure the rights of electing to state offices, as we elect to ell other offices, by plurality vote; and that we believe that the general assem- bly should call such convention as soon as practicable, by an act guaran- teeing to every town, explicitly and irrevocably, it's right to representation in the house of representatives, as fully as was done by the acts proposed, as above, in 1859, 1873 and 1875.
 "Resolved, that the executive com mittee be directed to promote the calling of such a convention, by such publica- tions, public meetings and other meas ures as they may deem proper"
 The report of the committee was con- sidered at length and finally adopted. Some of the more conservative members of the club wanted to have he claims of plurality election more strongly ad- vanced and others desired the present borough system more fully condemned The club voted to have printed and cir culated throughout the state a pamphlet setting forth the arguments for holding a constitutional convention.
 It was also voted to hold banquet in the near future.

 ssAmorita," as originally written, could not have been noted for any dis play of excellent music, but as given by Miss Halls company number of musi- cal gems have been so skillfully inter- woven that the music is tuneful throughout and at times particularly catchy and delicious.

Cornelius Ieahy Bagged For Carrying
 Concealed Weap0ns.
 John H. Kelly, who arrived from the west yesterday, in charge of several car loads of horses consigned to Hartford parties, stopped in Waterbury for a short time and imbibed, too freely of intoxicat- ing beverages. He was roped in by the police. This morning he begged hard to be allowed to go and Judge Cowell sus- pended judgment:
 Cornelius Leahy started out on the war path last night on Railroad Hill street, and hourished a revolver pro miscuously until Officer Fitzgerald ar rested him. Leahy said when asked by the judge why he carried revolver, that he kept it in the house to protect him and his Hfamily, should any one at- tempt to break in. Judge Cowell impos- ed fine of S3 and costs for carrying concealed weapons and suspended iudg- ment for breach of the peace. Leahy, it will be remembered, created sensation at the lower end of Baldwin street nearly year ago by attempting to cut his throat. At that time he was sentenced to the town house to recover from the effects of spree.
 The case against J. G. Cutler, the har- ness maker and carriage dealer, in Ex- change place, for violating city ordi- nance, was continued until Monday at his attorneys request. A short time ago Cutler erected a carriage repository on North Main street within ten feet of the city line. This is violation of the city ordinance. His attorney claims that no building line has been established on North Main street, and consequently there was no violation of the law. He wished, however, to continue the case to look further into the matter.

WORLD oF SPORTS.
Frank Cox's New Britain Team Sen
 Home With a Defeat

Frank Cox's New Britain Team Sent
 Home With Defeat.
 The only familiar thing about the New Britain team, which played here yesterday for the first time in many years, was the rotund figure of short stop Frank E. Cox, who played with the Waterburys in 1885, when we were the people. The visitors showed lack of practice and didn't have ghost of a show of winning at any stage of the game. Condof pitched great game and was supported in faultless manner by Mahoney, who was seen here for the first time. Garry, new man, played center field and handled himself in prop CT style. He is south paw pitcher and will be heard from later. Whiting played at right field and accepted one chance. He could not find the ball for a hit, however. The feature of the game was the batting of Lachance and Mahoney. About 300 cranks, muffied to the chin, faced the Arctic breezes and seemed to enjoy the game. The score follows:

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
Birmingham Girl Dying in Agony
 With Lockiaw.


 It is thought doubtful whether Miss Mamie Latin, the fourteen year old daughter of Charles E.. Latin of Bir- mingham, can live many hours. She is victim of the lockjaw, This morning Dr Baldwin said that her condition was very discouraging. Food cannot be ad- ministered in the usual way. The trouble is due to garden rake. Two weeks ago the young girl accidentally stepped on one which lay in the yard and wounded a great toe. The wound healed up rapidly but later symptoms of a serious character set in, developing blood poisoning. She is suffering ter ribly.
 Robert Lade, a machinist in the em- ploy of the Holyoke Manufacturing company of Holyoke, Mass, had a mar row escape from being crushed to death under ton of iron at the Johns-Pratt company's works in Hartford, Tuesday afternoon. He was engaged in repair ing one of the big presses and was working on the ram under the press, two large plates each weighing 1 300 pounds being held above him by five eighths inch bolts. While Lade was at work the bolts snapped and the big plates fell and held him In vise-like grip, the full weight being held above him by piece of blocking. The iron plates had to be raised and when Lade was extricatcd he was taken to the hos pital in an exhausted condition.

KEI.LY SAYs

EAELL SA 1S
 That the great wheat speculator Hutch inson has gone crazy according to the lat est reports. He had been buying up all the wheat on the market he could get hold of, thinking to make big profit by selling at higher profit and so make four cost more. However, when he read KeIly's ad- vertisement in the DEMOCRAT and saw how much wheat was going to he raised this year, it overbalanced his mind and he failed to meet his margins. Therefore it is with the greatest pleasure that Kelly informs the people of this city that wheat has dropped 6 cents per bushel and flour 20 cents per barrel.
 Kelly says further that if some butcher of this city would only show that the in crease of beef for 1891 was going to be as large proportionately as wheat is going to be, he would probably drive some of the Chicago meat men crazy, and then the people would be able to buy meat at it's ac tual value. Grain has dropped. Whv should beef be high?
 Kelly opens his famous Tutti- Fruit Ice Cream parlor to-day at his North Main street store. This delicious icecream is frozen by electricity, and every- body knows the effect of electricity on the nerves.
 Fresh Eggs are now selling for 90 cents a dozen. This is cheaper than meat. If you will buy Kelly's genuine New Eng land Bread you will never bake.
