air. Nobody could hear what was said on the stage. The effect of the fine stage picture, mask ball in the pala- tial residence of Mir. Jay Van Astor, of New York (with ballet under the direc- ton of MT. Isaac A. New, brother of Jacob and Abraham), was entirely lost. Missiles of various kinds were hurled upon the stage and there were four free fights in full view of the audience. (The paper did not state that these were under the direction of any mem- Der of the New family)
 Presently the capable leading lady, Miss Adele Legrande, tainted, and was caught in the arms of the able villain, Mr. Archie Stanhope, who bore her un- conscious form to the front of the stage, and, in a manly and impressive speech, said that if anybody would rope off a twenty-four-foot ring, he would like to have about three rounds therein with the students, faculty and board of over seers of Harvard university.

\ ROUGH PASSAGE
The Steamship Bermuda Mar. roWly Escapes Foundering.

 Four Honrs of Awful Suspense - Cant.
 Frazer's Action Saves Several Lives.
 NEW YORK, April 19.--There were 27 passengers on board the steamship Ber- muda when she arrived at this port yes terday who had had 8 taste of life at sea which seldom befalls even a mariner. When they embarked at Barbados on April they expected a moderately rough voyage past Cape Hatteras, but instead they were almost compelled to swim from their staterooms to the main sa- loon.
 The Bermuda is commanded by Capt. Fraser, who has had many experiences at sea, but none like the one which over took his vessel on April 15. The steam ship sailed from St. Kitts on April 6 with a cargo of sugar and Times. Fair weather was encountered on the first part of the voyage until the Gulf Stream was reached. Then 8 gale commenced which speedily developed into terrific cyclone.
 In latitude S4, longitude 70, the wind blew from the four quarters of the com pass. Heavy, irregular seas buffeted the little vessel about as if she were a feather. A succession of waves boarded the vessel over the stern, carrying the port life boat from the checks, causing it to fall on the after cabin sky light, smashing it. Water poured down the opening, flooding the cabin to a depth of nearly two feet. The stewards were put to work bailing it out, while the terrified passengers crowded around the companion way in efforts to gain the deck. Captain Fraser had the storm doors closed and locked Had it not been for that precaution some of the passengers might have been carried overheard.
 The vessel was then hove to. For 12 hours the storm ragged. The bulwarks were smashed, while the iron storm doors were wrenohed until almost ready to fall apart. Twenty-four hours later the storm subsided, when the damage wrought by the sea was temporarily re- paired. The vessel reached her berth at the foot Of Congress street, Brooklyn, yesterday and her passengers sighed with relief on stepping upon terra frma once more.

THE CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION

THE CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION.
 Apropos of the fact that the congres. slonal delegation from Waterbury will go to the convention pledged for a man from this city, it is we'll to consider what the chances are of his receiving the nomination. Ever since the meet ing in City hall, the DEMOCRAT has kept an unprejudiced ear close to the ground for the political rumblings Tn the Second district. Placing party success ever above individual interest, we wish to place before our readers the result of our investigations. We do not believe then that our city, notwith- standing her right to be recognized, will receive that consideration from the convention which will result in the nomination of Waterbury man. Four years ago Mir Pigott, who undoubtedly was a very strong candidate for the nomination., came to this city and met the men who were recognized as having the influence among the democrats of the city. Mir Willcox was brought here at the same time, and on all sides it was agreed that if Mir Pigott would with draw from the fight he would, four years hence, receive the united support of the democrats of this section of the district. Now the time has arrived to redeem that pledge, think Mir Pigott's friends. The personnel of the leaders of Waterbury's democracy has changed, unity and harmony are more often found outside it's council hall than within, and this fact is patent to men in other portions of the Second district, high in the party. Those men are hold ing many conferences respecting ways and means not at all tending to unite the local democracy, but rather to still more disrupt it, with the purpose, no doubt, of securing some of the discon- tented to further their candidates' in- terests. We think it good politics, therefore, if our city cannot have the nomination, to so combine and agree that our turn shall be next, and that powerful allies be secured for the fu- ture, 80 that our position will be secure. The DEMOCRAT hopes for the nomina- tion of a Waterbury man and it's efforts will be directed towards such an end, but failing in this we want to retain as position as possible, for future conventions.

True, I never broke mp theatrical performance, nor knew any other person connected with the university to do so; but morning prayers were compulsory in those days, and even then we did some things which were as undignified as 8 debate in congress.

 But l was forgetting MT. New. laid down the paper and looked at him. He had not the appearance of hero but there was his heroism set down in black and white.

But am bound to own that you did your part we'll Perhaps have done you an injustice Because man can talk an iron pot of its legs it does not follow that he has no capacity for action.

 "Yes, indeed" said MT. New, ''I man, aged that thing fairly well, SO far as the reading notices are concerned. I tell you it takes g hustler to get first page top-of-columne display like that.

On beautiful April morning in the year 1s-, two men might have been seen seated at a table in the dining-halI of a quiet hostelry in the town of Bos- ton, Mass. One of them was tall, dig nifled gentleman, with an intelligent eye and lofty forehead which is get ting higher every year. The other was a man with checkered career and trousers to match.

the tickets and trusted in Providence for the rest. Well, sir, they distin- guished themselves, every one of them. We let the college fellows do little quiet cheering between the acts, just to get the audience warmed up to the spirit of it; and then turned my men loose. I had them placed behind the college men, and, of course, as soon as my boys began to raise a rumpus the students, in the interests of decency, tried to keep them quiet. Then one of my boys got up to make speech. Ladies an gents, said he, 'wese fellies is from Harvard, see? an we don't care a. At this point one of the students pulled my tough over the back of a chair and sat on his head.
 ''Then there was a circus. Those toughs would rather fight than eat. In- deed, though most of them are pretty badly used up this morning, they are happy and spelling for another chance.

Just talk lobster salad to her, and away she goes.
 "Well, on the whole, I've no reason to complain. Such an affair as this puts the public on the side of the company; and we'll play to better business the rest of the week.

MR HARRISON is confronted by very peculiar situation. He must choose be. tween violating pledge made to one of his few personal friends, and keeping that pledge and jeopardizing his chance of being renominated by antagonizing the most powerful senators in his party. He has recently intimated to Senator Quay, who claims the right to name the successor to the late Justice Bra Hey of the United States supreme court, as the price of his support, that he intended to keep the pledge made to Attorney Gene ral Miller when he was taken into the cabinet, and nominate him to the va that he would control enough votes in the senate to defeat the nomination, and more, that if it was made he would use all of his influence to have the Minne- apolIs convention nominate an anti Harrison man. ThIs is not the first time that Mir Harrison has intimated his in tention to redeem that promise made to his old law partner; but in the cases of the other vacancies on the supreme court he was squarely bulldozed out of his intentions by senators and other prominent men in his party, and he may be again, but those near to him say that he fears to allow this opportunity to go by of providing for his friend for life, as it is hardly probable that there will be another vacancy during his term of office, and he fears that he cannot be re- elected, even if he is re-nominated. Still, he will probably think some time before he deliberately invites a fight with the senators who could be con- trolled by Quay, 'as he knows very well that many of them only wish an excuse to fight him, anyway.
