What He Hopes to Accomplish I'm the
 Cause of Silver.

Cause of Silver
 WASHINGTON Aug. 22.-Senator Harris of Tennessee, one of the leaders in the movement to secure Il free silver platform and candidate at the next Democratic na- tional convention, said that he did not be- lieve in wasting much time over free sill yer in the next congress, and also was of a like opinion as to suggestions of an in- ternational monetary conference. The su- yer Democrats fight, he said, would be for control of the next national conven- tion, and speaking of this in connection with the recent silver conference he said:
 II hope to have a central organization at the capital of every state and subordi- nate organizations at every county seat and every voting precinct ill every county in the United States. With such organi- zation, if it shall be completed, we will be able to bring into action at the proper time the entire free silver sentiment of the country. If successful, we will con- trol the action of the national convention. If defeated, speaking for myself, shall submit to the will of the majority, as I have done in other instances when have chanced to find the majority of my asso- ciates opposed to my views"

BURGLAR CAPTURED.

Frederick Hoedtke Finds q Man i'm Ris
 Kitchen sat o'clock This Morning
 Hound Over to the Superior Court.
 About three o'clock this morning Fred erick Hodtke, who lives at 23 Drayer avenue, was awakened by his wife, who de- clared that she heard someone either try ing the door. or else there was some strange person in the house. Hodtke got up, looked out of his bedroom window in the rear of the house and saw a man just enter ing the pantry window down stairs. He also saw a man moving around the corner of the house He went downs and con- fronted the intruder in the kitchen. He asked him what he was doing there and the fellow pretended to be drunk or dazed and said he thought he was at home.
 A policeman was sent for and Officer Noonan arrived and found Hoedtke guard ing his prisoner. He had entered the house by pushing in half screen on which the window rests. On the way to the station he said his name was Terrence Casey and that he belonged in New Haven. He left that city yesterday at noon, went to Ansonia. got full and arrived in Water bury last night. He fell asleep in the lots ! back of the house where he was found and l thought he was at home.
 This morning Casey, who is dark haired, black eyed. sallow complexioned young man, and not very we'll dressed. told a similar story. He said he first tried the back door, before he entered the window, and was only half awake. He was going to work in Scovilrs shop. He lived at PIP | Lamberton street, New Haven. had a wife and two children who were living with his parents. He sald he came to Waterbury last night. although he was seen on the street yesterday with another stranger.

 Judge Root found probable cause and bound him over to the next term of the superior court under bonds of $500 After court adjourned Casey called Officer | Noonan over and thanked him. Hoedtke said it was lucky escape for Casey, as, il he had made any resistance he would have shot him.

 Died at 3 O'Clock This Afternoon.
 NEW HAVEN, Aug 22.-At ten o'clock this morning ex-Governor Luzon B. Mor- ris was found lying on the floor of his office in the old Palladium building. 139 Orange street. He was unconscious and had probably been lging there for several minutes before being discovered.
 Algernon H, Morse, an expert account ant, has an office in the same building He had occasion to go to the ex-governor's s office and found him upon the floor After hasty examination he summoned Doctors Gaynor and Bellosa. They at tempted to rouse the ex-governor from his stupor but failed. They summoned an ambulance and he was sent to his home, 230 Prospect street.
 The physicians worked over him for three hours, but were unable to restore him to consciousness It was at first thought that Governor Morris had been stricken with apoplexy, but the doctors pronounced his trouble vertigo caused by indigestion. Their failure to revive him however, led people to believe that it was something more serious.
 At 2:30 o'clock the Ex-governor was rapidly sinking His son. Dr Robert Nor ris of New York, had arrived and diagnosed the case as one of acute apoplexy. He pre- pared telegrams to be sent to the ex- x-gover- nor's friends.

WRECK ON NEW ENGLAND.
Freight Cars and Passenger Engine
 Piled in a Heap.

Piled in Heap.
 There was a bad wreck on the New Eng land road at Reynoldsville Summit, N Y., last evening. The story of the wreck, as told this morning by a man intimately connected with the railroad, is as follows:
 Freight train No POS. eastbound, took siding at the Summit to allow passenger train No 126, eastbound. to pass. In some unknown way the switch was left to warn the engineer of the passenger train He Jagged the train. and boarded the engine, telling the epgi- neer, Fred Allen, of East Hartford, that the freight was s:de tracked. but that the switch was open The h4gmau re- mained in the cab, and the passenger train was started ahead. The speed increased and when the switch was reached the cars were moving thirty-f miles an hour The switch was open and the train took the siding Though the freight was six teen car lengths from the switch, the pas- senger was moving too fast to stop and a collision resulted.
 Engineer, fireman and fAgman jumped from the locomotive, and were slightly bruised, though they escaped serious ipjuriey. The locomotive struck the caboose with such force that the former was torn from the remaining cars thrown up into the air, over the passenger loco- motive, landing on the combination bag gage and passenger car following the ten- der. Four freight cars, the caboose, the passenger locomotive, and the combination car were wrecked. though no one was in- jured The express messenger in the baggage car was shaken up, but was not hurt badly.
 The blame for the accident is attached to Engi ger Allen, who sent his train ahead at high speed after having been warned that the switch was open, with a freight train on the siding. No arrests have been made so far. though it is believed the crew of the colliding train will be taken into custody. the engineer for criminal carelessness, and the others as witnesses,

On the road betweeen Inverness and Tain again they went several miles out of their course But, these adverse episodes notwithstand- ing, they broke the former record and add ed to their own reputation.
 In this country there are any number of long distance records between the different important cities, but they have all been made on single machines. It Is said that an effort will shortly be made by tandem to break the record between Chicago and New York, the theory being that in the ride of something like 1000 miles the two men will be able to better withstand the fatigue of the journey.

Some Facts and Figures.

FORREST CITY, ARK, March 31.-The
business men of this town and the Iron
Mountain and Memphis Il Little Rock
railroads seem to haye fairly let slip the
dogs of war over the freight rate problem.
In a measure, to get relief from excessive
freight rates from Memphis, the merchants
are making all possible speed in cOnstruc-
ting the new wagon thoroughfare between
this city and Madison, four miles distant
on the ST. Francis river. where boat trans
portaton will be effected. The highway
has been laid out, and all necessary pre-
limnaries in order to receive permit for
its construction from the county court next
Monday are perfected.
A short time ago an agent of a hardware
firm of Memphis made up a carload OF
hardware among the merchants of this
place. agreeing to put the goods here at
carload rates. In due course of time the
laden car was offered to the Memphis Il
Little Rock folks at the depot in Memphis,
whereupon they demanded that the car
should be unloaded, each consignment
separately weighed, and upon which a
local freight rate would be charged. This
rather took the breath from the eonsig-
nees, so the agent went to the Iron Noun
tain, when, to his dismay, they would not
take it for this point at any rate. The
goods being badly needed by the mer-
chants here, the Memphis firm had to sub
NIT to the terms of the Memphis Il Little
Rock railroad. by which they were in turn
checked upon for differences in local and
carload lots-some Is and 90 per cent
