The Chandler News has new de .
Tense CT Governor Barnes. 1t says:
THE newspapers and political pro-
phets are giving it out in some quar-.
tees that is will not do for the Repub-
Leans TO nominate Flynn for congress
next wear because Governor Barnes
would not support him, Any such
talk as this is very uncomPlimentary
TO the governor, and his friends should
at once refute it. 1t is absurd TO
charge that any good Republican,
especially one who has been honored
by his party with a high official APP
pointment, would refuse TO support
the nominee OF his party because OF
their personal differences. What is
the use OF nominating convention If
the loyal members OF the party are
not TO be bound by its acts? Such
talk is surely intended TO injure the
governor, for it is we'll known that his
staunehest supporters gave as a reason
why they wanted Barnes appointed
governor instead of Flynn that Flynn
must be reserved tc make the race for
congress In 1898. IL isuufAir to Barnes
now to charge that he would bolt IL
Flynn were nominated and we hope
ali such talk will be stopped"

ANNUAL MEErrNG urLD

Of the Connecticut Jewellers and Opti-
 cians' Association-Banque at the New
 Haven House-The Old Board of Ofii-
 cers Reelected.
 The annual meeting of the Connecti- cut Jewellers and Opticians associa- tion was held in this city yesterday at the New Haven house, where after the business meeting, at which considera- ble business of importance was trans acted, the members enjoyed a banquet and fine social time. The president of the association, General George II. Ford, presided. There were present representatives of the association from this city, Hartford, Waterbury, Bridge port, Stamford, Norwalk and other places.
 The association voted to cooperate with the Connecticut Retail Merchants association in it's movement to secure legislative action in reference to the protection of the merchants of the state against inherent merchants by suitably taxing these transient and tramp dealers, who now can roam about at will free from taxation to the detriment of merchants regularly locat- ed and established who contribute to the welfare and prosperity of the re- spective towns, cities and communities with which they are identified.
 It was also voted to have a bill drafted and introduced into the general assembly of the state, now in session. providing suitable penalties for the fraudulent stamping of common silver plated ware as quadruple plateau evil which the association finds ample cause to protest against. It is believed the desired action will readily be grant ed in the interests both of the trade and the public In general.
 The old board of officers was re- elected to serve for the ensuing year, viz: President, General George H. Ford of New Haven; vice president, Colonel c. H. Case of Hartford; secre- tary, c. R. Hansel of Hartford. and treasurer, A. w. Austin of Norwalk The association's session was a very satisfactory and enjoyable occasion.

California,

Every Wednesday and Saturday at 6 D. m. a train leaves Chicago over the famous Santa Fe route, which makes the run to Southern California in less than three days. This train is composed of Pullman palace vestibued sleeping cars, buffet smoker and din- ing car of the most luxurious pattern ever designed.
 Another Improvement in the Santa F'e service is in the time of the weekly tourist excursions, which now leave Boston every Thursday at Il 80 a. n., and reach California the following Tuesday. The cost of tickets is lower and the time faster via these excur- sions than via any other.
 The Santa Fe route is the only line running entirely over it's own tracks from Chicago to California, and those who intend making a trip west will find 1t to their advantage to communicate with S. w. Manning, New England Agent of this line, at 392 Washington street, Boston.

THE WEATHER,

Much Colder Weather in Prospect.
 Twenty-one inches of snow, official measurement, fell in Thursdays big storm in about, fourteen hours, against twenty eight inches in the blizzard of 1888 in about thirty hours. This twen- ty-one inches of snow is equal to two inches of rain, and had 1t come down in rain 1t would have made a tremen- dous storm. New England got the storm all right, but escaped the eX- treme cold felt In other parts of the country. New Haven wa5 the warm est place Thursday of any in the coun- try from which weather reports are re- eeived It was warmer here than in New Orleans, Mobile or Jacksonville, even.
 New Orleans and the far southern end of Florida are the only places in the country where the temperature was warmer than in New Haven and Con- necticut yesterday. It was g above zero at q. m. yesterday.
 Connecticut owners of orange groves are worrying now about the conditions in Florida It has been far below freezing at Jacksonville since We'd nesday night, P at s a. m. yesterday. At Point Jupiter, far down the coast, it was only 34 above zero yesterday morning.
 AS the cold continues with practical ly no abatement all through the west and south the indications are that New England is destined to see weather much colder than any it has had this week, and that the low temperature will be long continued.
