Passed Away.

Mr.. Joel S. Norton of 3S Salem street
received word Saturday afternoon to
hasten to the home of his father in
Patchogue, L. L., as his father, an old
retired sea captain, eighty three years
of age, was very ill and not expected
to live. For some time he had been a
great sufferer with cancer. Mr.. Norton
though using all diligence arrived too
late, his father passed away about one
hour previous to his arrival A letter was
received from Mr. Norton last evening
stating that the end was peaceful and
telling the facts as stated. Captain
Norton was for over fifty years a sea-
faring man and was well known in
nearly every port on the coast as well
as in the West Indies and several parts
of South America. He had been sue
cessful in his calling and at one time
was considered worth a great deal Of
money. Adversely later overlook him
and during the war of the rebellion he
lost the greater part of his wealth. For
years he had made his home in his
birthplace, Mt. Sinai, l.. l., where he
was a much respected citizen. He was
on visit to the home of a son, Captain
Frank Norton, in Patchogue, when the
fatal sickness occurred. His remains
will be taken to Port Jefferson for in
terment, where he will be laid at rest
beside a loved wife, who died a few
years since. Mr.. Joel Norton, the
younger son, is the genial manager for
the w. E. Judd company on Howard
avenue.

Bridsoport's Election Results Not Known
--Sixty-nine Citizens Tickets Thrown

Bridseport's Election Results Not Known
--Sixty-nine Citizens Tickets Thrown
Out,
Bridgeport, April 6.-There is no
prospect of ascertaining the result of
the election here to-day. The people do
not expect to know who was elected
until o'clock tomorrow morning.
Aside from this, there is grave doubt
whether the election is legal. The stat
utes say that separate tickets shall be
provided for the board of education
candidates and separate boxes provid-
ed for the female voters. These mat
ters We're overlooked.
There has been so much scratching
and pasting ON the tickets that to count
the votes is like solving a mystery.
There were three tickets in the field,
and each Of these had twenty candi-
dates on it, when but two could be
elected. The moderator in the First
district threw out a bunch of sixty
nine citizens tickets because they were
not headed the same as the ticket filed
with the town clerk, Some believe that
he has made an injudicious move.
Prominent counsel has been consulted
and two of the leading attorneys here
advance diametrically opposed opinions.
One says the election is Illegal, While
the other says it is not.

Was q Hot Campaign.

Louisville, April Elm Louisville and
until o'clock tonight was waged the
hottest campaign inside the republican
party in years. The contest was be-
tween the Bradley and Mckinley man
ayers and tonight every indication
pointed to a Mckinley victory. The
final result will not be known before
morning as the vote was heavy. The
A. P. A. voted solidly for Bradley and
the colored vote was divided, though
Mckinley tickets secured the larger
portion. The result of other contests
to-day gives Bradley five counties with
81 votes and Mckinley five with 70
votes Hart county Q5) was unin-
structed.

THE OLYMPTAD GAMES.
More Than Forty Thousand Persons Wit
messed the Contests.

messed the Contests.
Athens, April 7.-To-d day began the
776 Olympiad in which athletes from
several countries participated. The
Americans who took part in the games
We're the victors in several of the
events despite the fact that they have
been here short time and had little
practice after their long ocean voyage
The weather was mild, but cloudy
Early in the morning it was feared
that the games would have to be post
poned because of the rain. But it was
decided the grounds within the Stadion
were in sufficient good condition to al
low of the opening events taking
place.
More than 10000 persons We're admit
ted to the Stadion, including the king Of
Greece, the Duke of Sparta, the crown
prince, and the other members of the
royal family, the members of the diplo-
matte corps. The Stadion has no roof
and on each side rise hills from which
good view can be had within the
walls. These hills were fairly black
with spectators, thousands of whom
were too poor to pay the small price of
admission to the Stadion.
Much interest and enthusiasm were
displayed. The Americans who took
part in to-day's events appeared to be
in excellent form and won their victo-
ries with much apparent ease.
For the discus throwing the follow
ing Americans were entered: Captain
Robert Garrett of Princeton and Ellery
III. Clark of Harvard, a member of the
Boston Athletic association. Garrett
won.
CARROTS throw was considered some
thing phenomenal by the spectators.
He threw the discus 29.15 metres, de-
feating the Greek champion, Paraske-
vopoulos, by 10 centimetres.
The first heat in the 100 metres race
was won by F. W. Lane of Princeton
in 12 is seconds. Szokoly, a Hunga-
rian, was second.

SALVATION ARMY FIGHT
BaLLINGTON BOOTH LOOKED MORE
TIRED THAN HIS SISTER.

He Said in an Interview That Their Atti-
tude Was Unchanged and That Plans for
vsIunteers VIII Go On as Heretofore
The warmest Affection Still Exists.
New York, April 6.-Ballington Booth
and his sister, Mrs. Booth one
of the present commanders of the Sal
walton army in America, had an inter-
view last night at Mr.. Booths home in
Montclair, N. ].
Mrs. Booth-Tucker waived the posi-
tion she had taken and agreed to a
meeting at which Ballington oBoth
should have witnesses at to what pass
ed. Besides Ballington Booth and Mrs.
Booth Tucker those present were Mrs,
Ballington Booth and DR.. McKelway of
Philadelphia. The greeting between
brother and sister is said to have been
affectionate. The interview lasted from
about p. m. until about o'clock this
morning Just what passed is not
known, but it is said Mrs. Booth-Tuck-
er labored to induce her brother to re-
turn to the Salvation army. He was
obdurate in his refusal. Mrs Booth
Tucker reached Salvation army head
quarters shortly after 10 o'clock this
morning. She looked worn out and wor-
ried. She declined to say what she
thought the result would be or what
passed between them.
Just about the same time Ballinston
Booth arrived at headquarters. He
looked even more worn and worried
than his sister 1t was evident that
last last nights interview had been a
trying one for him.
Ballington Booth and wife went TO
Chicago to-day. Before leaving the fol-
lowing statements were issued by Com
| mander and Mrs. Ballington Booth:
1--WE have met and had a long inter-
view with our sister, Mrs. Booth-Tuck-
er, and wish it most distinctly under
stood that our attitude is unchanged,
and that our future plans for volunteers
| will go forward asheretofore. We are,
| however, anxious to have it clearly sta
| ted that this interview was of a sister
| ly and brotherly character, and apart
| from the matters of controversy on
| which we must still differ there exists,
| as there has always existed, the warm
est affection for Mrs. Booth Tucker as
eur sister,"

WANT CHANNEL WIDENED.


Harbor Commissioners Petition Congress-
man Sperry.
The board of harbor commissioners at
the request of the New Haven Steam
boat company, through it's agent, Coun-
Gilman Charles 1. French, has forward
ed request to Congressman Sperry
praying that he use his influence to
divert $5O,OOO of the money appropriated
to the breakwater to the widening of
the channel of New Haven harbor. The
commission heard Mr.. French last even
ing in support of his request.
The councilman said that he came
before the board as the proper tribunal
to hear and act on matters pertaining
to harbor improvements. 1t had been
the rule to ignore this commission.
Much had been said by the chamber of
commerce as to the Importance of trade
in the city of New Haven, but it was
not of much use to send out we'll sound
ing circulars when it is impossible for
steamboat to pass a schooner lying
across her bow in the channel of the
harbor, as had been the case of the
Richard Peck a few weeks ago. Mr..
French was reminded that this was the
first time that an effort had been made
by his corporation to have the harbor
commission do anything. The council
man admitted the truth of the state
ment but assured the members that he
would see that the commissioners would
not be left alone as long as he was
agent for steamboat company It
was brought out in the hearing that
four of the Sutton fleet of schooners
cannot get up to the New Haven docks
with a cargo.

STREET CAR MEN MAY STRIKE.
New York, Philadelphia and Buffalo
May Be Affected.


Philadelphia, April 7.-The reported fed
ration of the Amalgamated Association of
Street Railway Employees and the Amer
lean Railway Union was confirmed to-day
by the local leaders of the Amalgamated
Association.
The American Railway Union organizers
are still here working among the yard
men, trackmen and brakemen, and un-
skilled laborers Of the Pennsylvania and
Reading roads. The federation between
the two associations is upon an offensive
and defensive basis, but to just what ex-
tent the two organizations will be prepared
to assist one another cannot be learned.
1t was further learned to-day that the
practical amalgamation of the two asso-
Citations is only a part of the plan for the
consolidation of the railway employees that
Is under contemplation. 1t is said that
the leaders of these two organizations are
negotiating with the chiefs of the Broth
erhoods of Locomotive Engineers, Fire
men and Railway Trainmen for the for
nation of one great confederation of street
and steam railway employees. 1t is said
that the recent visits of President Mahon
of the Amalgamated Association to To-
ledo were for the purpose of comforting
with the brotherhood chiefs upon this sub
ject.
The street. car situation here gives prom
Use of again becoming involved. At a
meeting yesterday of the central commits
tee of the Amalgamated AsSocia ton, a let
ter was received from President Mahon
containing five grievances of the men here
which are to be submitted to President
Welsh of the Union Traction Company as
an ultimatum. The grievances are prac-
tically the same as those which led to the
strike last winter. When this ultimatun
will be presented to Mr.. Welsh has not vet
been decided upon, but it will probably be
laid before him some time within a week
Local street car leaders are of the opin-
ion that the crisis here is grave and that
a similar situation prevails in New York
1t is said here that an abortive strike at
Buffalo was unauthorized by the execu-
tive committee of the Amalgamated AS
sociation, and hence failed. II is not i'm
probable that great triangular strike
in Buffalo New York and Philadelphia
will be ordered
