ATLAW AND ORDER LEAGUE
4 NOTED DEFINE, DIR. ANDERSON,
 GIVES TT 4 SEVERE SLAP.

He Says if the Work of the League is AL
 lowed to Continue it win Tend to Cheap
 en and Cast Into the Shade the Work of
 the Regularly Appointed officials.
 Waterbury, Nov24,-The State Law and Order league to-day received a dig unified and at the same time vigorous slap on the hands of no less a distin- guished man than Rev. Dr. Joseph An derson, a member of the Yale corpora tion and pastor of the First Congrega- tional church of this city. Dr. An derson's morning service took the form of a report of the recent Congregation al conference held in this city, and the speaker dwelt at length upon that phase of the conference which has at tracted so much attention throughout the state, the State Law and Order league, it's objects and methods. In treating of this subject pr. Anderson spoke substantially as follows:
 While I am friendly with Secretary Thrasher and assisted as far as I could in securing for the league hearing now feel that it is very unfortunate that good men are driven to support such an organization whose objects seem to be to do the work that regular ly appointed officials should do It is most earnestly hoped by me that the exhaustive newspaper reviews of this subject will bring before the people in its proper form this phase of the mat ter. If this law and order league is allowed to continue 1t will tend to cheapen and cast into the shade the work of the regularly appointed off, cials on whom the responsibility for the detection of crime devolves.
 Dr. Anderson's talk was listened tc by an appreciative congregation, who readily indicated that the tenor of his remarks met with unqualified approval

Senator Chandler Gompiains Against Rail-
 road Pooling.
 Washington, Nov. 4-The text of a Hampshire to days ago addressed to President Cleveland on the subject of the recent agreement of railroad presi- dents was given out tonight as fol- lows:
 Washington, D. C., Nov. p, 1895. ToGthe President:
 I make complaint to you, and through you to your interstate commerce com mission, against the trust and pooling agreement, now nearly finished, of the American railway trunk lines and the one Canadian line controlling the traf- fic between New York city and Chica- go. The agreement provides that ev- cry railroad in the combination shall make and maintain the transportation rates prescribed by a board of manag- CTS representing all the roads. This is g conspiracy in restraint of trade and commerce under the act of July 2, 1890, The agreement also makes certain that all competition shall be abolished as above required by imposing heavy fines upon any offending road, which fines are to be applied for the benefit of the other roads. This is a division of earnings contrary to section five of the interstate law. This trust and pool ing agreement can be annihilated( as provided by explicit existing laws of the United States, Q by injunction from the courts. @ by an order of an interstate commerce commission or (3) by an indictment of the individuals signing the same.
 It can also be easily be stopped by a vigorous appeal from you to MT. J. Pier pont Morgan, whose power over the nine governors of the nine trunk lines is as absolute as it Is over the bond syndicate. It cannot be possible that you intend to take upon your admins tration the responsibility of fastening upon your burdened and helpless people this, the hugest trust the world ever saw or that was ever conceived of when one earnest word from you to your fresh attorney general, your am bilious chairman of your commission or your omnipotent banker-friend will paralyze the iniquity in it's inception.
 Very respectfully
 VIM. E. CHANDLER.

Quarantine in New Britain.

New Britain, Nov. 24-The board of health in its reorganized form held a meeting last night at which active steps were taken to check the very seri- ous diphtl1eria epidemic which has pre- vailed during the last few weeks. The strictest of quarantines have been or dered, and an almost immediately per ceptible effect has been caused. No new cases were reported to-day nor have there been any deaths from the dis ease. It is thought that the disease will be rapidly stamped out. The new board is efficient, and inasmuch as the alram- ing condition which has prevailed was due simply to gross carelessness it is not apprehended that the scourge will gain further ground

MIssoURT's FRUIT CROP.
A Good Supply of Everything But
Peaches May be Expected.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb. IS
Secretary Goodman of the State Hor-
ticultural Society, says of the fruit
crop:
"The cold of February z and 8 was
extended and severe. The thermom-
eter varied from IL degrees to % de-
grees below zero. Strange to say,
some of the reports from the southern
part of the state indicated greater
cold than in the central and northern
part of the state. The condition of all
fruit trees seemed to be very good in
deed up to that time and the gradual
cold weather seemed favorable for a
crop of fruit, bat, in spite of it all, the
cold caused severe damage to many OF
our fruits. The long, dry weather OF
the winter necessarily weakened the
vitality of the trees, and they were
not able to withstand the cold. Peaches
seldom stand Is degrees below zero
without the fruit buds being destroy
ed, and this instance is no exception.
"The raspberry crop is badly injured
by drouth and severe cold. Straw
berries were not injured by drouth and
there will be a fair crop. Blackberries
are in good and grapes in splendid
condition. Cherries and plums are
badly injured in localities, but still
there will be a good crop. Apple trees

for being on the stage are known only
to themselves. The last party, dance
or sleigh ride is the topic of converse

The reconciliation scene closes the
play, the curtain drops and all rush to
the dressing rooms to remove the
paint and change costumes. Hats,
rubbers and other articles can not be
found for sometime by the excited
ones. The s.stage-rusfers," in their

and aided by the strength of their

Committee on Divorce Reform was
presented by its chairman, Mrs. Ellen
Battelle Dietrich, of Cambridge, Mass.
The committee reported the follow
ing resolutions:
Resotued, By the Executive Board of
National Council of Women of the
United States, as divorce is a measure
equally concerning both sexes, we hold
it just that all commissions created to
deal with divorce should be represent
ed by both. To this end we, an or
~ganization of national organizations,
comprising about zoe, 900 representa-
tive women, request the appointment
power in each State, whether guber-
Material or legislative, that al sucn
commissions hereafter to be appoint
ed shall be composed of both men and
women in equal numbers.
|. Resolred, That we ask the National
observation-disclosures to take no steps
toward alternating existing laws with
out comforting with the National
Council of Women of the United
States through its standing committee
On divorce reform.
Resotued, That we instruct ourCom-
mittee on Divorce Reform to ask for a
hearing before the National Divorce
Reform League, at its next regular
meeting, in order to provide for CO.
operation between men and women in
regard to ohis measure, which equally
affects both.
ResolUed, That the first step toward
the elevation of the home is to put
men and women as home-makers in a
position of legal equality.
Resolred, That a letter be sent to the
Governor of each state and territory,
| asking him to call the attention of the
| Legislature to the situation concerning
divorce laws, requiring the appoint
| ment of a committee to consider the
matter, SAID committee to consist
equally of men and women.
The resolutions were unanimously
carried, and the report of the commit
tee accepted.

An Accurate Thermometer.

A new thermometer has just beer
produced in France, designed fol
measuring very low temperatures
The new instrument is similar to ar
ordinary alcohol thermometer, but the
liquid employed to fill it is perfectly
pure toluen. The dilatation c~oefficieni
of this is very high, which slightly in
creases the relative dimensions of the
divisions of the tube, which is ar
advantage, since the readings are
made much more easily. But the
principal advantage, accruing from
the liquid used is its fiuidity which ii
retaines up to ~ degrees without SEN
sibly adhering to the glass. The in
dications supplied by the apparatus
are on this account very clear ant
rapid.

Edward L. Shea and Miss Lollie Threl-
keld Married Tuesday.

From the Centralia Courier
Happy hearts looked ont through
speaking eyes upon a lovely scene at
the Globe Hotel Tuesday evening, the
delightful occasion being the marriage
of Mr.. II. G. Threlkeld's daughter,
Miss Lollie, to his popular head clerk
and business manager, Edward L.
Shea. Rev. E. L. Kendrick performed
the beautiful and impressive ceremony
in the parlors Of the Globe at O'Clock
p. m. in the presence of the near rela-
tives and friends of the contracting
parties.
The bride was becomingly arrayed
in brown covert coating with fancy
yoke and cuffs of cream broadcloth
braided in gilt. The groom was hand
somely attired in an elegant suit of
conventional black. Together they
were as admirable an appearing o u
pie as ever plighted their vows before
a marriage altar.
The ceremony was followed with a
most elaborate supper, consisting of
delicious viands, toothsome sweet
meats and palateable eatables.
The bride is one of our most lovable
young women-intelligent, thought
full, accomplished. She is a grad
uate of Hardin College and is very
proficient in music. She is also a
graduate of our high school, being one
of the ''jewels'' we had the honor of
placing in the graduation "casket."
The groom is the O of Capt. D.. E.
Shea,of Mexico, and is n of Contra
lia's most reputable and worthy young
men. By habits of industry and econ
omy he has made a start for himself in
the world, while his strict integrity,
sterling worth and manly demeanor
has given him a character that causes
him to be held in high esteem by those
who know him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shea, like sensible peo-
pie as they are, will go to housekeeping
at once and the Courier has no hest
fancy in predicting for them a life of
duties bravely met and opportunities
faithfully improved.
They begin their matrimonial life
with the warmest congratulations and
best wishes of hosts of friends, among
whom we count ourself lucky to be en-
