PLOT OF THE M'KINLEYlTES.

PIOI Of TIE M NttSGE E0s
The Definite Meaning of the Ohio Man,
Boom.
It is not difficult even at this early
stage of the game to penetrate the pul-
poses of the republican leaders who are
trying to shape the action of the st.
Louis convention. The Mckinley boom.
which has been carried with vigor into
ail the states, has q definite meaning
ind intent.
No matter what the wording of the
republican platform may be, the nomi-
nation of Mckinley a have but one
significance. Mckinley carries his own
platform, and that platform is McKin-
leyism with all the word implies OF
privilege, legislation and political fat
frying. The tariff barons and the fat
friers want McKinleyism to be vindi-
Gated. They are anxious to secure a de-
ieat of the democratic anti-pro<ection
doctrine and q rebuke of ta~riff-reform
legislation. The sweeping democratic
victory OF four years ago rankles In
their breasts and stands as an obstacle
IN the way of their schemes of plumber.
The election OF Mckinley would be
taken as q vindication OF McKinleyism
and a return of the people to the policy
OF protection. The republican leaders
find q strong hope of accomplishing
this object in the democratic situation.
They could not hope to win on q
straight issue of McKinleyism, but they
see an opportunity to rehabilitate pro-
lection and slip Mckinley into the
presidency in the democratic wrangle
over the money question.
The fact that McKinleyism has been
thoroughly beaten once will not check
q republican return to it. if democratic
aissensions over sixteen to one enable
the republican party to win with Nc
Kinley as 3 standard bearer. The VIC
tory will be hailed az 1 popular v1ndica.

The Switch on Woodward Avenue Not
 Long Enough-A Public Hearing to be
 Held-No Action Taken on the Blasting
 port Approved-Town Buys Small
 Tract of Real Estate.
 Superintendent Dodge of the New Haven Street Railway company pre- scented a petition to the board of se- lectmen last evening requesting the grant of an extension of the turnout along Woodward avenue, beginning at Upson street The company is prepar- ing for large increase in the travel to the east shore and the claim is made that the turnout should be extended 1,200 feet to accommodate the running of cars on different schedule. The switch, if extended, will terminate near Raynham station.
 "A public hearing will be given the parties interested next Tuesday even ing, though there is not house along the line of the proposed turnout. The statute requires the hearing.
 The finance committee, to which the purchase of a tract of land on West Rock which lies in the boundaries of the town farm, reported that the land could be secured for $3S6 and the com mittee was given power. The select men wish to clear all these titles up as soon as they can.
 The repairs of the abutments of two small bridges on Middletown avenue was referred to the committee on roads an bridges with power.
 The New England Telephone compa- ny will be notified to set all the poles which are now beyond the required line along Townsend avenue, between the Pequot house and Morris causeway, back to the distance from the highway required by the law.
 The removal of pole near the Quin- nipiac bridge on Meadow street was also ordered. Clerk Perry was instruct ed to notify the Telephone company.
 The board voted to visit the location of the proposed turnout of the New Haven Street Railway company on Woodward avenue at 4:30 o'clock Sat- urday afternoon.
 The Townsend avenue turnout was not taken from the table, as Messrs. Farren and Baldwin were obliged to leave the session at o'clock. No disposition was made of the res olutions to prohibit the blasting by the c. w. Blakeslee company or West Rock for the same reason.
 The report of the joint tax commits sion was approved by the board.

SERIOUS CUTTING AFFRAY.

Card Party Brakes Up in a Row-Two Men
 Severely Injured-Sent to the Hospital.
 Luigi Maresca and Jeremiah Ross are in the New Haven hospital suffering from wounds received in a barroom flight in Ferriallo's saloon, 4S Fair street, about 10 o'clock last evening. Both men were bespattered with blood when arrested by Patrolmen o. Daly and Murphy. When they arrived at police headquarters Maresca, who had been stabbed in the left thigh, was so weak from the loss of blood, that he could not stand upon his feet.
 Police Surgeon Louis J. Gaynor was called to dress the wounds of the men, land cut about the head. Three of the Hong gashes had to be stitched. Maresca had not fared so well, for |the knife used, it is alleged by Ross, had found its way into the tendons of |the left thigh. Maresca had a long scalp wound which required stitching land also an ugly cut in the right tenn lple.
 The place where the fracas occurred lis a small saloon on Fair street and |frequented by the men of that local |ity. At the time the affair begun the 1.-two men and four of their associates |were engaged in a game with cards. Beer had been ordered, said Alphonza gDe Mic, the bartender, last night He had heard no disagreement among the |men, and he was surprised to find that |all the players had become engaged in |a melee.
 Bottles were hurled at each of the |combatants in lively and dangerous Iway Both Ross and Maresca received Icuts on their head. Ferriello rushed into the barroom and pushed Ross out |the back door while De Mia, the bar tender, hastened Maresca through the
 Fair street entrance Maresca tried to .take bar of wood which was used to
 secure the door of the saloon. | The bartender says that he took the stick away from Maresco. Whether
 he did or not is not matter of conse-
 luence to Ross, for as he came out of
 the alleyway along side of the house
 Maresco met him with some blunt in
 strument which now is missing, and be-
 Ean to pummel him. The men clinch

CHURCH OF THE ASCENSION.
Its Affairs Discussed at yestry Meeting
 Last Night.

Last Night.
 The adjourned parish meeting of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the As- tension was held in the vestry room of the church last evening. The meet ing was attended by eight of the reg ular members of the parish and vas perfectly harmonious throughout.
 About thirty of the attendants on the church service were present in the church and awaited tor the report Of the parish meeting, which was held in private
 The church has been in considerable uncertainty as to how the church should be conducted in the future. Owing to the change in population which has been going on in that section of the city the church has been weakened, both in its members and finances, and has run behind several hundred dollars.
 At the parish meeting last week the acting rector, the Rev. W. P. Mulford, rendered his resign Atio and the meet ing appointed a committee to confer with Bishop Williams ;ss to whether the church should continue on as an independent or be run as a mission church.
 The Rev. MT. Lines of St. PauPs church reported to the general meet ing last evening that Bishop Williams had replied to the resolutions sent him asking that the consideration of the future policy of the church be consid- cred at another adjourned meeting to be held later on, in order that he might more fully consider the needs of the case.
 The vestry meeting voted to postpone the election of officers of the parish till later and elected the following del- egates to attend the convention to be held in Hartford the second Tuesday in June: I. F. Bulley, George F. Coe and William Mazene, with L. A. Kim berly as alternate.
 It was also decided to continue the services of the church on a temporary basis for the present and to appropri- ate the money necessary to pay the sexton.
 William Kimberly was added to the music committee, and that committee was instructed to see about hiring an organist and organizing choir.
 bI. Ioli5lStS Dl IGlllly 6iliu 1I' hllco of St Paul undertook to see that ser vices were provided for the present.
 Next Sunday the Rev. MT Phillips will preach in the morning and one of the rectors of Trinity church in the evening
 The vestry meeting adjourned until the 2Oth of May, when it is expected that the wishes of the bishop may be had.
 The clergy and laymen of the diocese have expressed their wish through Bishop Williams to be of service to the Church of the Ascension.
 The Rev Mir Lines exhorted the members to be hopeful and charitable throughout these times, and urged the reporters to be fair in their report of the meeting
 Although no final action was taken last evening, yet it is now expected that the church will continue along independently. It has large and handsome church building and an aver age Sunday congregation of from fifty to eighty. It has recently elected as clerk of the parish that widely known and highly respected citizen, MT. James Walter.
 Although having no organist or choir at present, the music committee viI soon provide one.
