POLITICAL POINTERS.
James P. Pigott's Vigorous Denial of
 Old Charge.

James P. Pigott's Vigorous Denial of an
 Old Charge.
 James P. Pigott of New Haven, who the Second district, makes a vigorous denial of an old charge, recently resur- rected, to the effect that in a certain trial he said that he would not believe Catholic priest under oath. He pro- duces letters from prominent gentle men, including Chief Justice Andrews, that he never made any such remark.
 The democratic state central commit tee met in New Haven yesterday. Prior to a formal discussion of the business before the committee there was a gen eral talk on the condition of the party in Connecticut. Every one of the com mittee was sure that Cleveland and Stevenson would carry the state this fall. In their judgment the party was never in better condition, and more united than it is on the threshold of the presidential and state battle. Every section of the state represented by the committeeman was in first class shape they said. Many members of the com mittee were asked if they favored a campaign of Kerosene oil, brass bands, etc. Almost all said that an educa- tional or intellectual campaign was preferable and would meet with their endorsement. The resignation of Wal ter B. Bostwick of Bridgeport as mem- Der of the committee was received and read. Mir Bostwick resigns because he has not time to devote to the affairs of the office. It was decided to hold the state convention in Hartford, Septem- hpr 13

IN THE KILL V0N KULL
A Girls Body Found Floating
 Near Woodbridge, N. J.
HER IDENTITY STILL A MYSTERY.

Nothing on Her Person By Which Her
 Name Could Be Learned--Cards of a
 Plainheld, N. J.. Business Man Found in
 Her Pockee-Is It Murder?
 WOODBRIDGE, N. J., July 27.-Another mysterious death that is probably a mur- der has been unearthed hardly three miles from where Mary Anderson met her death.
 The body of a young girl was found yes terday afternoon in the Kill von Kull and appearances indicate that she was mur- dered. The body was found by an oysterman, off Leibig's Chemical Works, near Carteret. It was that of 8 young girl about 15 years of age and had been in the water, from appearances about 36 hours.
 The features were those of a remarka- ply pretty young girl and the body was clad in expensive and fine clothing. The girl had dark hair, large dark eyes and a good complexion. She was dressed in a brow nsilk dress of fashionable make. Her underclothing was expensive, as were also her shoes.
 In the pocket of the dead girls dress was found a business card of John Lind say, gardener and florist, at Plainf1eld, N. J. There was also card in the girls pocket of Mrs. Lindsays employment agency. Another card was found on the remains, but the printing on it had been so blurred by the water thatit is extreme ly difficult to decipher. The printing looks like, as near as can be made out, 'Miss Van Busker, No. 76 West Seventh street."
 County Physician Dynohue, of Middle sex county, was notified of the finding of the body and he ordered it to be taken to Drake's morgue.
 Upon second examination of the cloth ing of the dead girl there was discovered circular of an excursion- The excursion was from Plainfield to Asbury Park and | the circular was dated July 10. The scene of the supposed murder is within three miles from where Mary An derson was so foully murdered on June g. It is in portion of the country where at | least five murders of defenseless women have been committed within the past two years, and this makes the sixth, if it proves to be crime.

WINNERS AT SARATOGA.

Great Racing by the National Amateur
 Oarsmen's Association.
 SARATOGA, N. Y., July 27.-It was af- ter o'clock in the afternoon when Referee Simpson decided that the lake surface was calm enough to allow the rowing races of the National Association of Anna teur Oarsmen to begin, Three o'clock was the hour set but the high wind pre- vailing did not permit the start.
 When the water calmed down there was little delay caused by the executive committee listening to protests against Edward Durnan, the Canadian oarsman who is cousin of Edward Hanlan. The committee decided to rule him out alto gether, although the Canadians protested loudly.
 The races showed a surprising lot of crack amateurs, and the heats so far as rowed were closely contested. Charles Courtney, Ellis Ward, Edward Hanlan and Henry Rogers were among the famous professionals who witnessed the races, Hanlan and Rogers appearing in rowing attire in their shells. All the races set down on the programme were rowed except the senior four, dark ness preventing that. The races were chiefly remarkable from the fact that fla fOElOSS III AlOSG 4ASIdACCS CdIlc III Lu0 Tedr of the procession.

GEN. BUTLER INDIGNANT.
He Denounces the Treatment Accorded
 to Militiaman Iams.

BosroN, July 27.-Gen. Butler, in an interview, expresses himself very forcibly against the recent punishment of Private lams, at Homestead.
 Said he: "That punishment was not permitted in the war by any rule of war that know of. Cruel and unusual pun ishments are as much prohibited by the Constitution in the time of war as in the time of peace, and that prohibition should cover every case.
 "I know of no law. either in war or peace, that prevents private soldier from expressing his sentiments upon any ques- tion whatever. provided it is not done in such boisterous manner as to disturb the peace, and I know of no proceeding which will justify punishing man cruel ly and excessively for expressing his senti- ments by the Colonel, and then trying him by court-martia1 and punishing him again for the same offense.
 ''The proceeding is barbarous, cruel and unjustiflable by any law in peace or in war, and if it is not reprobated so fully and thoroughly by public sentiment that it will never occur again, it will do much to disorganize our State militia and pre- vent them from coming out when called upon, because no man will go out volun- tarily to perform duty where such punish ments may follow if he disagrees with his colonel in political, social, moral or relig- ious sentiments"
 ''Has Private Iams any redress in this case"
 of there is an honest jury in Pennsyl- vania, he has. It was wholly unjustifi- able.
 'In the first place the colonel should be tried by a military commission of the Ma tional Guards, and his punishment by l that tribunal can only extend so far as to | take away his commission. "Then he should be tried by jury for a cruel assault and put in jail or fined,
 and then he should be sued by the man 1 and made to pay many thousand dollars.
 if he can pay it, for the outrage. That is l all that ought to happen to the colonel that can think of now

Men in the Min Prisoners,

PrTTsBURG, July 27.-James Hadley, a. roller, and two engineers named Elliott and Rock, say they were brought here from Philadelphia last Friday to work in the Homestead mills, under false repre- sentations. They were told the trouble at, Homestead was over, and that most of the old workmen had gone back to work. When they got to the mills they discov- cred things were anything but lovely, and them negroes and Hungarians. In the room they slept in the first night 160 men were quartered. The food was abundant, and there would have been no fault had they not found the Homestead men were on strike. Nothing is being done at the mill except making repairs.

Grover Cleveland
 and the Women.

Mrs Mary Frost Ormsby of New York, with many other well-meaning women, formed political club lately and named if the "Frances Cleveland Influence Club. She wrote a letter to Mrs Cleveland in- forming her of this fact, and the letter was full of patriotic sentiment: Mrs Cleveland handed the letter over to her lord and master, aud he answered it, say ing that he could not approve of the use of Mrs Cleveland's name for political work. as the name of wife and mother ia too sacred. We think that MT Sleve- land could afford to let these women Ego as they please " They did not ask for his approval, and he needs all the influence he can get. MT Cleveland ought to re- member he only represents certain Ideas that are in the public mind, and his per sonal likes and dislikes are of minor i'm: portance. He has often told us that the functions of government should ba con sidered sacred. If SO, we can tell him that 1t will require the refining process of womAn's influence to make 1t sacred. Men have gone it alone thus far, and there is nothing to-day much more degrading than politics; and the corruption fund is grow ing larger all the time. We think that MT. Cleveland ought to feel honored ID having, as Mrs. Ormsby expresses 1t, the mothers, wives, daughters and sisters of New York democrats enlisted in his cause. They talk about woman's sphere,
 As though it had limit;
 There's not a place in earth or heaven, There is not a task to mankind given,
 There is not blessing or woe,
 There's not whisper, yes or no,
 There's not life, or death, or birth
 That has feathers weight of worth,
 Without a woman in 1t.
