and continued 10 insult him. Finally one
of them threatened to strike him with a
stool. The general raised his cane to ward
off the blow and the ferule by accident
penetrated the eye of Barton, one of the
musicians, and extended to the brain. The

visited the police station and offered bail
for the release of General Hewstop. but
it was refused. The general will be ar
raigned in the morning in the ClerkenweIl
Police Court.

is in a quandary over the appointment Of

delayed the appointment too long now TO
please the Democrats. They wanted Gen

expired. which was about ten DAYS ago.
Cleveland tells everybody that he likes
McCOppin, and thinks he would make a
good postmaster and be popular with the
people; but Mcguire Is so vigorously op-

appoint him without offending Mcguire,

jure him in the estimation of President
Cleveland.
Judge Maguire recently told the PresI-
dent that the railroad crowd had already
had enough.
If McCoppin is appointed Judge Mcguire
will resent 1t as personal affront to him

will hardly ignore his wishes in the m after,
but Californians who know the Presidents 8

DELIGHTFUL OCEAN TRIP
The Voyage to Old Point Comfort an
 Richmond.

The Voyage to Old Point Comfort and
 Richmond.
 The pleasures of an ocean trip down the Atlantic coast to old Point Comfort, Nor folk. Richmond and other points ol histor- ical interest in Virginia, are well known to residents of New England. and yet the number of excursionists is surprisingly small. Saratoga, Asbury Park and Long Branch each receives a liberal portion of the army of pleasure seekers which leave Connecticut every summer, but the trip to Virginia gives far more pleasure and recre- ation than any of these well known resorts afford.
 Determined to make these trips popular among the people of Connecticut. the Old Dominion Steamship company this season arranged special excursions for them and offered inducements which could hardly fail of attracting those who wished a change of scene and air, and a brief rest from the cares of business. All the steamships on this line were thoroughly overhauled for this season, two new and handsome vessels of modern design were constructed, and Connecticut people in vited to come forward and judge for them selves. A number of Waterbury people have taken the trip and pronounce it de | lightful.

LETTERS FROM THE

A Naugatuck Man Warns tho People $

 and Anarchy.
 On the Fourth of July, at Hartford, about seventy delegates met to frame a platform and nominate a ticket for the peoples party. This was done and the man appointed to fill the various offices. gentleman from Naugatuck was ap- pointed one of the excutive committees. This gentlemen few years ago published the paper called The Agitator. or was party to it. at Naugatuck. This was about the time of the anarchist trials in Chicago. Upon their conviction and punishment the paper was put in mourning by print ing black border upon it. thus giving pub lie recognition of their doings. and, if a mistake is not made, condemned the judges who presided at the trials. Is any man or men holding such views fit for such a position certainly there is no room for them in the councils of the state. Do we want men in full sympathy with the anarchist. bomb thrower and the secret assassin dagger on the executive committee in a political party, Universal opinion is against this) and place them officially with any movement that has for its object the alleged betterment of the wage workers or

The law sustained by the voice of the peo- pie in European countries is sure and speedy in dealing with these men. Let the will of the people be keard here and same results will follow. The ballot box is the place to redress social evils. Many evils do exist in the public administration. l which we are all now suffering from. Let u. wipe them out in a lawful manner, and not attempt by the dagger of an assassin or the bomb of dybamiter. these means resorted to bring universal reproduction and just punishment upon the wrong doers.

THE WEAVERS' APPEAL.
Locked Out New Bedford Mill Hands Issue
 n Statement.

n Statement.
 NEW BEDFORD. Mass, Aug. 2s.-Tbs cotton weavers have issued an appeal, which is in part as follows:
 ''To the People of the New England States:
 We, the cotton operatives of New Bed ford, are engaged in a great struggle with our employers, the mill corporations. This conflict is not of our seeking. It has been forced upon us by the most unjust action of our employers. One year ago our wages were reduced 10 to 20 per cent This we quietly accepted. During the past year this reduction has been increas- ed in the weave departments from 10 to 25 per cent.
 To protect the operatives from the extortion the legislature of Massachusetts passed q law directing the manufacturers to state to the weavers the length of the cut, etc. and the price for weaving the same. The manufacturers are now evad- ing this just law and announce further reduction in our wages. Many of the operatives were already on tho verge of starvation. These corporations are near ly all paying the usual dividends.
 "The operatives in New Bedford have therefore struck against this needless re- duction in wages and against defiance of law by the manufacturers They appeal most earnestly for support in this strug- gle. All moneys can be forwarded to Matthew Hart, box 543, New Bedford, Mass."
