The delegates to Chicago were in
structed to vote for the free, unlinit-
ed and Independent coinage of silver at

in the platform:
I'VE hold that it is the high duty and
honor of the democratic party to call
back the government to the old paths,
to restore to purity and virtue and to
root out all the pernicious influences
that have corrupted it's legislators and
the administration of it's laws AS a
first and most necessary step to this end
we demand the restoration of the money
of the constitution by a law providing
for the free and unlimited coinage of
both gold and silver as full legal ten
der money at a ratio of 16 to /, regard
less of the action of any other nation. -

About Electric Roads.

A New York syndicate, represented
by Waller Cook & Wagner is after the
Milford electric road. BY it's charter
the road can be built from the terminus
Of the Winchester avenue road in
Woodmont to the Milford station, to
Burns Point, and other settlements
along the shore, to Naugatuck Junction
and Washington bridge.
1t is estimated that it will cost about
100000 to build and equip the road.
Governor Waller and Attorney Wagner
will inspect the proposed layout to-day.
With the building of lines to Center
vile and Lighthouse Point this year
the New Haven Street Railway COM
pany has decided not to extend the
tracks to Mansfield's Grove, charter
for which was granted by the legisla-
ture this year, but it is intended to
build the line next spring The extern
sion will be about two miles long. 1t
will begin at the East Haven green and
run as direct as possible to the grove.
Part of the way considerable rock cut
ting will be necessary, and it will be
an expensive road to build The dist
ance from the New Haven green to
Mansfield's Grove is seven miles.

Hildreth Gets a Life Sentence, Plato and
Hubbard Forty Years-Jury Found Hill
dreth Guilty of Murder in the Second
Degree-The Two Others Pleaded Guilty
of Manslaughter in the First Degree.
Rome. N. Y, May S.--The jury in the
case of John Watson Hildreth at 1870
a. m. to-day returned verdict of muir
der in the second degree In reach
ing this conclusion four ballots were
taken.
The court took a recess till 8 a. m.
to-day, when Justice McLennan SEN
fenced Hildreth to Auburn prison for
life.
In passing sentence the justice said
that he thought the jury had dealt very
leniently by Hildreth; they might have
convicted him of the highest crime
known to the law.
He said that Hildreth's crime was a
terrible one under our civilization, al
most as bad as poisoning the streams
that come from the hillsides.
Hildreth stood up and received his
sentence without flinching, but after he
sat down by his father his eyes filled
Wllu Tears dilu us ZIP lIeHlDlSu perCep-
tibly.
AS soon as Hildreth had been SEN
fenced he was taken back to Jail, and q
few minutes afterward Theodore Hib-
bard and Herbert Plato, the other in
dicted train Wreckers, were brought in
to court
By advice of their counsel Mr.. Sayles,
they withdrew their former pleas Of
not guilty of murder in the first degree
and pleaded guilty of manslaughter in
the first degree on each of the two in
dictments against them, in causing the
deaths of Engineer Hager and Robert
Bond.
Mr.. Sayles asked for clemency for the
boys.
Justice McLennan then sentenced the
prisoners to forty years each in the
Auburn state prison-twenty years on
each indictment
The prisoners were very pale ana
seemed much downcast, but shed no
tears.
Bristol, the fourth boy arrested for
the train wrecking, died here in Jail.

That country asks now for still another
bishop, and missionary bishops are also
demanded in China and Europe. 1t is
not unlikely that these demands, or a
part of them, will be acceded to. Very
likely, also, there will be four bishops
added to the force at home, But to be
certain as to these things we must wait
until next week when the committee on
Episcopacy will report. Then, the first
day of the week following, viz. May
18th, the elections will begin. BY that
time the woman question will be quite
out of sight, buried completely by the
new excitement of a great battle Of

When Abram S. Hewitt, of New York,
was a member of congress he was lie.
garded as the most nervous man in
the house of representatives. All
noises were disagreeable to him, and
the hammering of the speakers gavel
would seem to give him actual pain.
On one occasion he had man arrested
for keeping rooster in an adjoining
yard; for the domestic bird had r.
quired the disagreeable habit of lifting
up his voice and Growing long before
daybreak. The court decided in favor
of the rooster, and Mr.. Hewitt moved
from the neighborhood.
