LABOR MASS MEETING.

Henry c. Baldwin of Naugatuclx
 Makes Red Hot Speech.
 An outdoor mass meeting was held in Hartford last night, Henry O. Baldwin of Naugatuck being the principal speaker. His text was quotation from John Swim ton in regard to the awakening of the cali bon of labor to the strangling of monopoly and legalized robbery. He paid several sharp compliments to Senator brice of Ohio, because of the reported statement he had made in regard to the closing of the mint against silver coinage. He re- ferred to the progress of electricity and the "slimy hand of corporate greed" that had seized hold of it, and sized up Hartford as "a center of usurers that were taking the profit that belonged to labor"
 After warming to his subject MT Bald win removed his coat. He roundly scored Judge Woods of the United States court who convicted Debs. and spoke words of praise for the latter.
 ''It is said. he continued, "that scor- poration has no body to kick and no soul to damn. We have come to the conclusion ln Connecticut that whatever they have got they have not got conscience or a regard for the rights of individuals. They run the legislature, the courts and on election day they run the voters. Their only ob. Ject is to amass wealth from the public for the pockets Cf the men who hob-nob with the princes and princesses of Europe. In very few years if these street railways, gas monopolies, etc, were run by munich pal authorities it would allow us to take taxes of every mans home to the amount of $1 .000.
 In referring to the act of '9S relating to the electric lighting by municipalities, he said that the bill providing for it was passed with eighteen sections tacked onto it making it impossible to carry out. He also spoke in favor of the gubernatorial ownership of the telegraph and railroads.
 In speaking of the. United States senate Mir Baldwin said he wished to pay his re- spects to the senators from Connecticut by saying that never did the golden calf have greater worshiperss unless it be the mem. bers of the ifty-third congress from this district. Hst u

TIER HUGHES DEAD.

Striking Figure i'm Church Affafrs
 For Many Years-Death Caused By
 Hemorrhage CT the Stomach.
 Vicar General James Hughes of the diocese of Hartford, died at eight o'clock last evening after an illness of twenty-four hours from hemorrhage of the stomach. Father Hughes had been failing physicially for several years. Dr G. O. Bailey said last night that the hemorrhages were undoubtedly caused by alteration of the stomach. which had progressed until a large vessel had been opened. Hemorr- haze inevitably followed. and the hemorr- haze into the stomach was continuous, the stomach occasionally unloading itself when it got full. From o'clock until he died the hemorrhage was still going on. but from weakness of other causes the blood was not thrown of the stomach.
 Rev James Hughess IL. l.. D, was born in county Longford, Ireland, in October, 1850. His parents were well to do and he was sent to preparatory school. He came to this country when about 15 years old and shortly afterwards entered St Johh's col lege, ct Fordham, where he was graduated. He finished his education at the Seminary of St Sulpice in Paris. His ordination oc- cured on July 4, 1852. His first charge was that of rector of the cathedral at AtONAucuceS h. l.. LII 1o04 ne became the pastor of St Patrick's church in Hartford. At that time Father Hughes was about "A years old. and had been also made vicar general of the diocese, position he held till his death. He soon cleared the church of debt and began the erection of St Oatherine's orphan asylum; he also built St Johns orphan asylum for boys. Two years ago he built an infrmary for both asylums. He els obuilt the present pastoral residence, and cleared the old St Patrick cemetery of debt and purchased Mt St Benedict's cemetery. His church was burned on January 25, 1875. The present edi1ce was dedicated on November 26, 1876, and consecrated on October 4, 1884. Tbe church cost $175.00O. Father Hughes had travelled extensively in this country and had made four European trips. 1s
 The body of Father Hughes, robbed in his vestments. will be taken to St Patrick's church Friday afternoon where it will lie in state until Saturday morning 1t is be- heved that Archbishop Williams of Boston will celebrate the mass, which will begin al 10:30 Saturday morning Bishop Beaveu of Springfield will preach the sermon. In. torment will be in Blue Hills cemetery. .,

JUDGE COWELL'S HOUR.

Maurice Collins Sentenced to Jail For
 Sixty Days.
 Maurice Collins was up again this morn- ing for non-support. His wife said she supported her two children, aged 10 and 2 respectively, and he had given her no SUD- port since his last arrest on February 25. Judge Coweil gave him sixty days in jaiI.
 Officer McNif found the notorious Lulu Riggs in the hallway leading into sort of gymnasium on Cedar street at 2 o'clock this morning. She WAS in a compromising position with a companion. The latter es- capped, but Lulu was arrested The woman had nothing to say for herself but wanted to know why the man was not arrested She was given thirty days in Jail for lasci- vieus carriage.
 Attorney Lawlor, who appeared for Jo- seph Hurley, the young Italian boy who surrendered himself yesterday, desired to waive examination. Judge Cowell said he understood that Attorney Durant was to enter demurrer. Attorney Lawlor said he had been engaged on the case last night. Prosecutor Webster desired the case con- unued. pr Lafontaine, who was present, said that the injured girl, Miss Rassicott not be able to be out for one week more. The case was then adjourned until August 20.
 John M. Squires, the fighting farmer who gave Officer Tehan such a tnssle yes- terday. escaped severe punishment this morning because he told a truthful story and the man he works for in Southbury also spoke for him. The officer told how he found him on Bank street, crazy drunk. that he said no damn cop could arrest him. anG. that two of them had to sit on him in an express wagon to take him to the sta- tlon. Squires said he came in with load of produce. was in the heavy shower, went into saloon and had two drinks, and knew no more until he woke up in the station. Judge Cowell let him of with a $5 fine
 A telephone message was sent to the hospital to enquire as to Errico's condition and the answer came that there was no change and the case was just as serious as ever. The trial of Spadola was then ad. journed for two weeks.
 In the cases Of Michael Daily. Thomas F. Lunny and John Meara, the hackdrivers. which were adjourned until this morning, Judge Cowell said the railroad has the right to make rules and the right to regu- late conduct of people on it's property. Waterbury haCkmen in general are the best and most honest to be found anywhere. IT person leaves purss or any article in one Of their carriages, that person is pretty certain to get it. The railroad company now has new rules. Policemen are only doing their duty when they insist on the rules being obeyed. No doubt the hack men are overzealous and overstep the rules. The court will insist hereafter that the rules now there be strictly obeyed He then suspended judgment.

HARTFORD. Aug S.-Patrick Gorraan, who has since 1887 been an inmate of the town house good share of the time, is strapped" in New York city if the select men have correctly translated a letter re- ceived from that city last night. The letter at first sight appears o be made up of mass of hyeroglyphics that puzzls d the town officials After several hours of study the translation is as follows: '.Pat- rick German has lost his ticket, and came to our ofico, but we could not pass him to Queenstown. If any man will no luce it he gave us notice in due time that we stop the finder. You send him on the next steamer on the CunaTd company. If you will not take him from New York, they will charge the expense to the town of Hartford" The signature could not be made out Gorman left here for his home in Ireland a few days ago. but has evidently lost his steamer ticket or has sold it in New York. If German returns to Hartford he is liable to get warm reception from the select men

LOTS OF HOG AND HoMlNY.
Secretary Hoke Smith Says Times Are Geod
 In Georgia.


 BALTIMORE Aug $. = Hon. Hoke smith secretary of the interior, in a spe- eial Interview with The Manufacturers Record in regard to the business outlook of the south based on investigation during his recent trip, says:
 Il have never seen the south look so prosperous, especially Georgia Hard times are rapidly becoming extinct, and believe that the southern states are mov- ing ou to the most prosperous epoch in their history. Georgia farmers will have this year better corn crops and raise more meat than ever before. It is safe to say that the food supply of that state, If prop erly distributed, will be sufficient for two years consumption.
 The corn crop is in better condition than for years past and Will probably ex- ceed every former production of the state. More fine hogs are being raised than for many years. The raising of all needed food supplies leaves cotton a surplus crop and proves the diversified agricultural pos abilities of that section."
 Secretary Smith is enthusiastic over Che signs of prosperity among the fruit growers of Georgia. "More peaches D he said, "have been raised and marketed than ever before in the history of the state"
