AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING

OF the Young Mems Republican Club
Last Evening-A Special Meeting to
be Held Next Tuesday.
A largely attended and very enthusiastic
meeting of the Young Mems Republican
club was held at the club house last even
ing. -Four new candidates Albert Tilton,
E. K. sperry, Edward I. Judson and E.
were elected to membership and the names
of some twenty-five others were posted to
be acted upon at the next meeting.
Fred A. Belts was elected chairman of
the reception committee and s. MN. Smith
chairman of the committee on clerical
work.
In accordance with the call issued by the
Connecticut Republican league a special
meeting of the club will be held next Tues
plans for the effectual carrying on of the
Campaign work. It is probable that at the
same time the question of forming march
ing campaign clubs will be discussed, but
as the general feeling of the club is against
this sort of campaign work it is not gener-
ally believed that any marching club will
be formed under the auspices of the Young
Mems Republican club of this city. The
various republican clubs of the state will
all hold meetings simultaneously Tuesday
evening.
W. j. Martin of Bridgeport, secretary of
the Connecticut Republican league, was the
guest of the club last evening and made an
address. The club extends cordial invi-
tation to all republicans in the city to at
tend the meeting next Tuesday evening,
whether members Of the club or not.

SHANNON,S DILEMMA

Two Nominees for Chairman at
the Same Time Justices of the
Peace Named at the Convention
Last Night.
Hardly more than a corporal's guard was
present at the democratic convention for
nominating justices of the peace last night.
The meeting wasn't without excitement,
however. and all the fun lay in the simple
little matter of electing a chairman.
Charles Kleiner of the Fifth ward thought
he had a mortgage on the position. At
the last moment he found he had formid.
able opponent in Augustine Maher of the
Sixth ward, q popular young reporter on
the Register. Kleiner got his friends to-
gether in a consultation on -. the
situation. and finally they de-
cided to support Frank W.
Bishop. and Patrick Herman of the Seventh
was delegated to bring his name before the
convention. When Chairman Shannon
called the meeting together he was evil
IDENTIFY unaware Of the deep political
schemes that had been laid, and when
James B. Martin arose to nominate Angus
tine Maher he recognized the assistant city
clerk. Herman was on his feet shouting
Bishops name in almost the same breath,
and insisted that his nomination had been
made first. After some promiscuous
squabbling Nicholas Scanlon arose to the
point of order as to which man Mr.. Shan
non had recognized. He reiterated that
''Jimmie' Martin had the floor, and stJim-
mics" candidate went through without op-
position.
P. a. O'Brien of the Twelfth ward was
nade secretary, and the chairmen or next
member present of the several ward dele
cations were appointed a committee to
nominate justices of the peace. The First,
Eighth, Eleventh, Thirteenth and Fifteenth
wards were unrepresented. The committee
consisted of Louis E. Jacobs, Second ward;
Max Levy, Third ward; Charles Lehr,
Fourth ward; Charles Kleiner, Fifth ward !;
J. B. Martin, Sixth ward; p. F. Herman,
Seventh ward; N. Soanlon, Ninth ward; ].
-. Reynolds, Tenth ward; W. L. Green,
Twelfth ward, and J. ]. Ellis, Fourteenth
ward.
The convention named the following,
which was unanimously approved by the
convention: Second ward, Timothy J. Fox,
Louis E. Jacobs; Third ward, Max
ley Morgan; g. s sssnIsv T Tts
ward, Charles Kleiner, James p. Bree,

A MURDRROUs ARRAY.

A Restaurant Keeper at Savin Rock
Stabbed Three Times Last Night by
HIS Partner-Result of an Alter
cation-Roth Partners Badly Hurt
Winn's Wounds May Prove Fatal.
A very serious stabbing ARRAY occurred
last evening at Railroad grove, Savin Rock,
at the restaurant known as the Converse
restaurant, formerly kept by the Frazier
Brothers, but since Juno 10 owned by
Edward Keefe and James VIM.
All day yesterday VIM had been in the
city, and had been drinking heavily and
was in fighting mood when he reached
the restaurant. He went there about q
quarter to eight, and Keefe, his partner,
was eating his supper. The stories differ,
but the following is about the correct
version: Keefe noticed Winn's condition,
and In quiet way told him to 90 to bed,
and he, Keefe, would take care of the
place. This angered VIM, and he took q
bottle which was on the table and broke
it over Keefe's head. He then grabbed
Keefe by the throat and almost strangled
him. Keefe grabbed up bread knife and
slashed at VIM. He stabbed VIM three
times, making a cut across the breast, a
jab near the heart and a deep cut in the
abdomen. The last cut made VIM re.
lease his hold on Keefe's throat. Keefe
ran over to Special Constable Lempert and
cried, "Arrest my partner" Lemperi
called Deputy Sheriff Peck and the two
went to the place, where they found Winr
in a pool of blood on the floor. Keefe WA
placed under arrest and DIR. Barnett DR.
| Fuller and DR.. Rovinski recent Qraduat,
of Yale, were called. The wounds O
DR.. Barnett and DIR. Fuller did what the,
could for VIM. The hospital ambulance
was called and VIM was taken to the hos
pital.
EKeefe's-. injuries are serious, but no
fatal. It Il thought that his tonsils ar
permanently injured. Several stitches hs'
to be taken in the cuts on his head.
At the hospital Wrinn's wounds wer
found to be terrible, but they will not nee
essarily prove fatal.
The two men started in the business Of
June 10 and the rent was taken in Keefe'
name. They rent the place from Juliu
Lempert, who leases the building in whicl
the restaurant is kept.
Keefe is about twenty-eight years of ag
and came here from New York. VIM
. about fifty years of age. Where he cam
from is not known.
q Keefe has been known as quiet, honest
industrious fellow, and it is thought tina
it was under great provocation that tn
act was committed. Winn was at time
: quarrelsome and irritable.
Il Keefe is on a couch in the octagon build
ing of the grove owned by Mr.. Lemperi
A watch is kept over him.
