STRUCK BY AN ICEBERG.

Steamer MoIdava's Fate-Steamer' S
 Crew Were Drifting for Thirty-Five
 Hours on the Ocean-Picked Up by
 the Circassia.
 New York, Aug. 25-The steamship Circassia of the Anchor line had a sto- ry to tell, on her arrival at Quarantine early this morning, of picking up a captain and his twenty-two men on the high seas from three open boats.
 The rescued men were Captain Burn side and the entire crew of the British tramp steamship Moldava, bound from Cardiff for Halifax with coal
 In the dense fog that hung over the sea last Wednesday the Moldava ran into a huge iceberg and stove her bows so badly that she began to fill rapidly.
 The Moldava was owned by the Mer- cantile Shipping company of London, and was of 1, AIT tons register
 Captain Burnside, finding that his ship could not be saved, equipped his lifeboats with provisions and abandon ed the vessel. Soon afterward she sank. They drifted about for thirty-five hours Then the blazing blue lights were seen on the Circassian, and her commander, Captain Boothly, effected the rescue.
 At New York all of the crew were taken charge of by the British consul general. They were mostly Scots and Englishmen, with the exception of sev- en Greeks.

IN BAD CONDITION.

Waterbury Aug. 25.-The condition of the Meriden, Waterbury and Connecti- cut River railroad since it's purchase by Judge Robinson Of Hartford, and over which no trains have run in sev- eral months, is falling into very bad condition The buildings in Waterbury, never built in very good shape, are falling to pieces for lack of repairs and platforms have routed away. Many of the bridges on the line are now said to be unsafe for trains and rails on the main line and sidings have spread so that trains could not now run if it was desired to have them. Freight is delivered to Waterbury con- cerns having spur tracks on the line of the road by the New England com pany, but the Meriden line is used in no other way and the property is depre- ciating in value hundreds of dollars a

Edward Griswold of Gull ford, president of the battery associa- ton, has been in New London in con- sultation with Fl, E. Smith, chairman of the committee on arrangements, in regard to the meeting. The details have all been attended to and nothing re- mains to do but for the veterans to gather and they will be given one of the pleasantest reunions in the history of the association. The business meet ing will be held in Union lodge room op Union street and as soon as it is com pleted, the ladies of the Relief corps will serve dinner in the banquet room in the same building.
 After dinner there will be a trolley party to the beach and an opportunity to see the many points of interest about the city.

GOLD STANDARD SPEECH.
By Congressman William F. Si
 monds in Glastonbury

By Ex-Congressman William F. si-
 monds in Glastonbury.
 The gold standard rally and fiag-rais- ing at Addison, in Glastonbury, Satur- day afternoon, was complete success in spite of the rain, which prevailed there during the afternoon.
 The meeting was called to order by the Rev. s. G. W. Rankin and Hewitt Coburn, jr., president of the knitting works in Glastonbury. was chosen chairman. Mir. Coburn is a New York man and a strong protectiorist. He is also gold standard man, believing in the necessity of maintaing the na- tion's credit
 The address was made by ex-Con- gressman William F. Simonds of this city and was listened to with deep in- terest by the large assemblage in at tendance MT. Simonds traced the his tory of silver through the career of the government to the present time, ex- blaming in an effective way what the silver advocates call the crime of 1873 He discussed other fallacies advanced by them, and showed how untrue and impossible were their assertions. He dwelt upon the wild talk regarding masses and classes and the warfare of the poor against the rich, which the popocrats delight to mention and show ed how groundless were such state ments and how damaging to social or der. The statement that the wealth jest men profit by gold standard and the banks and other financial institu- tionS are given an unfair advantage by it was also shown to be wrong; on the contrary, banks and men with large investments would profit more than any others by silver standard. These po- sitions were fortified by statistics, showing that the national banks belong to the so-called debtor class, and would reap the same advantages that are an- ticipated by them through the change to a silver standard. MT. Simonds handled the whole subject with great adroitness and skill, showing that his study of the issues in the campaign has been thorough and exhaustive
 After the address, the townsmen pres ent, with large number of ladies, who had remained through the rain, which was pouring at times, were invited to visit the residence of Austin Bidwell, where a bountiful collation was await ing them. The Consolidated band of East Hartford furnished excellent mu- sic

where? Has any nation ever succeed ed in what we are asked to take? Not one. Has any nation ever failed? Mex ico, supported by the great people of China, With 400,000,00 of people, has fail- ed to lift silver above its market value. l am well aware that we are mightier than Mexico or China, or both combin- ed But We are not omnipotent. We are only part of the world. We cannot add Q cubit to any mans stature. We cannot fix the price of wheat, Chicago standing for the whole country tried that once and was worst d in the rug gle We tried to fix the price of green backs by calling them dollar until 1879, when we promised to give dol- lar, and backed up the promise with a hundred millions of gold
 When gold was at 200 not all the pow CT of this country with 2000,000 of men in arms could make greenback buy more than fifty cents worth of any thing except human labor.
 Either the silver men expect silver under free coinage to go to par or they do not. If they do they have not a single fact on which to depend. All human history is not only against them but overwhelmingly so. If over valua- tion of silver by three cents on dol lar drove the gold out of our country from sixty years in it's history, what will fifty cents of over valuation do? Why, it is as clear as mathematics.
 We shall then be on silver basis, " bot tau a hn wa cNt the basis will either be stable or un- stable If it is stable, what improve ment will that be? Are there any more potatoes in four peclzs than in one bushel? Are 133 75-cent dollars worth any more than 100 100-cent dollars Does a dollar get any more valuation by changing it into coppers?
 But suppose the new standard is un- stable, what will happen then? Well, human experience is here to tell you. All uncertainties are detriment to business. For the last fifty years all struggle O. business has been toward uncertainties. Business has log ago ceased to be gambling Small and sure profits often repeated is the foundation of modern wealth. The Suez canal, the ocean cable, the swift steamships and the swiftest railroads are all harnessed into this service; whoever that can have a stable currency swings off into an investable currency sets himself against the civilized world and must take the consequences.
 Be not deceived by false prophets. In the west they tell the people Maine is faltering. You and I know she was never so steadfast. Here in the east they tell us the west Is blazing with sil- yer crosses and is crowned with silver thorns, but when the tug of battle comes the gallant west, peopled by our children, will show to the world that brothers true and tried who have fought so many fights shoulder to shoulder in the great conflict of human progress, will never be separated from each other or from that great party around which clusters all the glories of thirty of the most illustrious years of this country's s history.

BRIDGEPORT WoRKMEN,
Declare Against Free Silver Policy and
 Against Bryan.

ABdihob
 Bridgeport, Aug. 25,-The Workmen's s Political Reform club of this city has declared against the free silver policy and the democratic candidates. The organization has membership of 125, and is made up mostly of mechanics who came from England to this city some years ago. But the club also re- fuses to support Mckinley, claiming he is the servant of the monopolists and that workingmen can expect no re- lief through him. They will conse- quently vote sor the labor candidates. The club hoped to join forces with the democratic party this year. but it's members believe the unlimited coinage of silver would only diminish the pur- chasing power of wages and the great supply Of labor in this country would prevent corresponding increase in the rates paid to wage earners.
