Rev. Mr.. DickInson,s Resixnation-
Delegates to the Sixth Senatorial
Convention In New Haven To-day
Indian Relics-A Campaign ButtOnj
OF Long Ago-The Chrysanthemum
Show-Notes In General.
The sensational article that appeared In
some of the democratic papers under the
guise of an Associated Press dispatch last
evening regarding the cause of the resigna-
ton of Rev. @. a. Dickinson, caused con-
siderable indignation among many of the
influential members of the congregation
who pronounce the article base fabrica-
ton with hardly shadow of truth.
The statement that committee
waited upon Mr.. Dickinson last week
regarding his political belief is without |
any foundation, a. there has been nothing |
of the kind, and the reported conversation
on the subject is also untrue, as is tho
statement that political sermons have been
preached from the pulpit, recently or at
any time. Rev. MI. Dickinson is quoted
by one of his congregation as saying that
the reasons for his resignation had nothing
whatever to do with politics, but were due
to an entirely different matter which had
recently come to his notice, and after
careful investigation and friendly con-
versations with some Of the prominent
members of the congregation on the sub
iect he had decided that it would be the
wisest plan he could adopt, and In conse-
quenoe he took the action he did.
Tho al IN oh a y,rIitfoa1 llama ont
of the matter Is denounced by most of the
prominent members of the society, without
regard to party affiliations, As an outrage
upon decency, and does injustice to Rev.
Mr. Dickinson and the members OF the
congregation.
convention to be held In New Haven to-
day are F. O. Bartholomew, Street VIII
liams, Samuel Hodgkinson and 2. P.
Beach. The report printed In the Register
last evening that the outcome of the CON-
| vention would probably be the nomination
of W. d. Newton of Wallingford is about
as near correct as many others of the polit-
ical prophesies of that paper. Mr..
| Newton stated last evening that
the statement was news to him,
and that, although he appreciated the
honor of being mentioned for the position
for senator by the Register, he was in no.
wise candidate for the position and could
not, under any circumstances be induced
| to be q candidate He was of the opinion
that the nomination would 60 to Heriden,
as there was no aspirsnt for the Office In
| Wallingford this campaign, and none from
here viii be mentioned or supported by the
Wallingford delegation.
The name of D. W. Ives meets with the
approval of many of the prominent repub-
ucans in town for the position of assessor
to fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of Street Williams, and it is probable
that he will be appointed by the selectmen
at their meeting tomorrow.
| H. F. Hall has sold to j. P. McGary two
lots 15Ox150 feet on High street.
Harry Chapman, assistant at the Hall
Brothers market on Center street, has
quite mania for collecting old Indian rel
los, and has in his possession quite num-
Der of flint arrow and spearheads that he
has found in different parts of the sur
rounding country. Sunday, while out to
walk near "Quinnie," he found beside the
river relic that filed his heart with Joy,
and excites the curiosity of many of his
friends who have seen his latest find,
which ia simon pure specimen
of an Indian tomabawk and is without
doubt one of the finest specimens that can
be found in any collection in the country.
The weapon is of flint and shaped like the
historical tomahawk to. be found in mu.
seums and other collections, and has on Its
| side ten distinct lines cut, which are sup
posed to represent the times when the
weapon was used with deadly effect upon
some enemy. and such events were won't t.
be ohronicled upon the sides of the toma
hawk.
