RECENT work of burglars at Middletown have created considerable alarm in that city, and an officer, Joseph Day, was des- ignated for patrol duty, with particular reference to watching for burglars. See ing man so acting as to give reasonable ground for suspicion he arrested him. The man started quietly enough to ac- company the officer to the station house, but soon broke away and ran. The officer after proper warning, and first firing in the air, sent shot that brought him down. The wound was fatal. The man gave his name as James Brown, and confessed that he has been engaged in burglarous work in that city. The inhabitants who have been in dread of visitations are feeling easier. There is good ground for the pre- sumption that he was engaged in the re- cent burglaries in Willimantic.

THE death of Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes Is an occasion of national sadness. No literary man in America had a firmer grip on the affections of the people than the "Autocrat of the Breakfast Table," the philosopher, who so we'll understood hu- man nature and who so we'll knew how to picture its workings to his fellow men. Of great distinction in the medical world, vet his fame rests on his works as poet, novelist, essayist and humorist, He died suddenly, but peacefully, at his home on Beacon street, Boston, on Sunday, aged S5 years.

ceIved the proxies that promise; they
nau won fairly and could not see any
JustlncatIon for abandoning IN any way
the pledges they had made, the positions
they had taken, or the obligations they
had assumed. But at the annual meet
ing the protective committee suddenly
discovered that the minority should be
represented and threatened, unless they
could have this association. to undermine
an avalanche Of litigation and let it down
on the company with disastrous results.
With an extraordinary devotion TO ab-
stract right and justice they insisted that
they ought to have minority representa-
ton to the extent not only Of member
ship on the board, but of the surrender
Of the conduct of the annual meeting on
the part of those havidg the right by
virtue of numbers and proxies to conduct
It. At the annual meeting Ex-Governor
Thomas A Osborn was made chairman
and perfectly non partisan credentials
committee was selected This committee
was presided over by Mr.. Charles Blood
Smith, one of the attorneys of the Union
Trust company.
when the protective committee let
loose It's litigation and tied up the meet
ing four days, until the point raised could
pc argued before Judge Foster, the meet
ing concluded that it could do no more
business and proposed to adjourn. The
directors of the company. if they had

the field gracefully and permitted those
whom a majority Of the stockholders
had preferred to go with the business
Of the company. 1t is worth while to
note the great affection Drofe5sed by the
protective people for the stock holders is
hardly in harmony with the legal record
they have made, in which they endeavor
to overturn the charter which George w.
McCrary, in his letter to General So
iicItor Peck pronounces the best
charter in the United States.
Il would seem to casual observer that
truly disinterested affection for the stock
holders would lead these protective gen
tlemen to do whatever they might be
able to do to leave this charter intact
Permit me also to say the mistakes Of
the protective committee are not charge
BILE to all the members of that commit
tee. Some members have made no mis-
sake whatever, except the mistake Of re-
naming on the committee The directors
have nothing to do with running the
greatest railroad on eartho and expect
no especial thanks or reward for fighting
through a reorganization out Of which all
parties must come more or less dis

MANY TURNED AWAY
From Mrs. Leane's Meeting at Hamilton
Hall Saturday Evening

Mrs. NJ. Z. Lease talked to all the peo-
pie who could crowd themselves into
Hamilton hall on Saturday night Every
available inch of standing room was
taken and the stairway was crowded to
the sidewalk. Many who came found
that an effort to get into the hall would
be useless and went home. Mr4< Lease
clearly demonstrated that she is the best
drawing card in the Populist party, even
though she is not on the regular speak
ers' list
She was introduced by r. J. Sloat and
talked for more than an hour. There
were no. personal illusions in her address
and she discussed Populism rather than
men. The greater part of her address
was on the lines of france and tariff.
She held the attention of the audience
closely and only once was she interrupted
when some one axked: What about the
sfatehouse crowdG" She did not or pre-
tended she didnot understand the question
and ask that it be repeated, but the ques-
.ioner refused to repeat it.
The Capitol quartette furnished the
music
In the afternoon Mrs. Lease addressed
a much smaller audience at the same
place, when she confined herself almost
entirely TO advocacy Of the suffrage

THE EARTH ROCKED.
A Disastrous Earthquake in
Province of Rioja. Argentine.
Two Thousand People Reported
Killed or Wounded.
SHOCKS OF 90 MINUTES.
Village 0fDel Arboda Was Com
pletely Swallowed Up.
It is Estimated That 10000
People are Homeless.

New YoRK, Oct. ga special dis
patch from Buenos Ayres says: A cor
respondent at La Rioja. the capital of
the province of the same name, tele-
graphs that the city has been ruined by
last nights earthquake. The churches.
schools and public edifices were all
thrown down. The people are camping
ont in the neighborhood. Comparatively
few were killed, as there was a general
rush into the open when the first shock
came, at 4:30
At times the shocks lasted twenty sec
onds. The scene was a horrible one, wo-
men shrieking and fainting on
every side as the walls came crashing
down. Two Sisters Of Mercy were
killed and many more are now entombed
beneath the ruins The governor fears
the province must number at least 1000,
as many of the outlying towns also suf-
fe-red
From San Juan come reports that
shocks continued during the night
but were slight in character. Not
house in town is without damage. It is
reported that in various parts of the
province the ground opened and gey-
ser Of boiling water and mud spouted
forth.
Couriers continue to arrive here with
news Of the damage wrought in the vari-
Gus departments and towns.
The village OF Del Arbodon has been
completely swallowed up in the huge
gaps which opened in the ground.
Tho national government is sending
special trains with doctors, tents, food
and every kind of assistance we'll as
laborers to clear away the wreckage.
La Prensa has opened public sub
scriptiou list and the town of La Rioja
has contributed 10000 milreis. 1t is esii-
mated that at least 10000 persons are
homeless.
South of Buenos Ayres only a slight
shock was felt. The wave appears to
have passed away to seaward near the
mouth of the La Plata river.

TAMMANY Is TOTTERINH-



New YoRK, oct. 29-In a prelude TO
his sermon. the Rev. John 4. scnddar of
Jersey City, spoke last night on the case
of Mrs. Hermann, the LeNoW witness
who is detained in the county Jail pend
ing the arrival of exTadition papers He
said in part:
During the past week Jersey City has
been misjudged and become the victim
Of unpleasant notoriety through the eu-
deavors of Senator DAILY 70 prevent Mra.
Hermann, formerly the keeper 0f
a diaorderly house. in New GurE
city, TO testify before the LeNaw
committee. This attempt TO thwart the
ends Of justice and prevent the introduo-
ti0n Of eliminating evidence against the
blackmaM officers across the Hudson Is
something for which Jersey City ia no-
wise responsible.
IN either the mayor nor the chief Qf
police nor Justice Potts has shown Che
slightest sympathy with this endeavur 10
shield the criminal classes and the good
people or this city deprecate aud ropud-
late the whole disgraceful proceedImua.
"There are two lessons to be drawn
from this sensational attempt 60 keep
this woman off the witness stand. First.
il is one more evidence that Tammany ia
tottering, and that the braves who felt
year ago though they owned the earth
are trembling in their shoes. ia IS am
other side light cast upon the rottenness
5
and serves to confirm the people in their
opinion that they must have q totai
change Of administration.
I'VE predict that on November 81
New York will enter the procession
Of cities that are declaring tn
favor of municipal reform. jersey
City led off in the election Of Mayor
Wanser, Brooklyn followed by eiecting
Mayor Schieren. and New York Will fail
in line by elecpng Mayor Strong.
@The second lesson iH that the seuti-
ments Of the old Hudson county ring
politicians have not changed one iota.
TheeR sympathy was largely with the
criminal element, and 1t is today When
evil-doers are in trouble, they know
where to 90 to find assistance. lt would
be a great detriment to this city if. ia the
