SENATE COMMITTEE HERE.

Investigating the DOings of the New Ha-
 ven County Commissioners.
 Senator Thayer of Norwich, Senator Bridge of Enfield and Senator Twitchell of Naugatuck, the committee appointed to investigate the doings of the county commissioners and the liquor prosecut- ing attorneys, met this morning in the council room at City hall. City Sheriff Mcdonald had cited in about fifty saloon keepers who were all present this morning. The committee went into executive session, and but one saloon keeper at a time was allowed inside the doors. Even Doorkeeper Lee could not be induced to give the press some information. Attorney Edmund Zacher, a law partner of Lynde Harri- sons of New Haven, conducted the examination. Nothing definite could be ascertained, but from hints dropped by various witnesses it is surmised that bomb shell will be thrown into the camp of the New Haven county con- missioners, and will disturb somewhat the equanimity of Attorney Colley. The strangest fact of all is that there were no saloon keepers summoned as witnesses who had not at some time charges preferred against them. The saloon keepers are mum and it is indicated that each is sworn to secrecy. The hearing was continued this after noon and will probably be finished to, night. The examination which each is subjected to Is to find out how much money he has paid for a license, how much in fines and how much to settle cases out of court.

NAUGATUcK, Sept 20.-The sidewalk on Meadow street from Division north is in a miserable condition and not only a disgrace to the town but to the prop erty owners who demand high rents for their places.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 2.rThe senatorial
contest is still unsolved. The speakership
contest is over. and Laylin, the Sherman
candidate, is nominated, but the result
has failed to bring that cheerful acquies-
cence in the inevitable that the Sherman

doughty ex-governor has lost none of
that conviction of ultimate success
which has characterized his actions
throughout, if his words and outward de-

inward thoughts. The Sherman men say
the fight is over: that all that remains is
but a perfunctory formality; while the
Foraker men say the fight is just begin
