BENHAM MURDER TRIAL.


Chemist Vandenberg Found Prussic
Acid in Mrs Benham's Brain, Liver
and Blood
Batavia. N. Y. July 9.-The most
damaging evidence yet produced
against the alleged wife poisoner How
ard c. Benham was brought out soon
after the murder trial was resumed this
morning, Frank P. Vandenberg, city
chemist of Buffalo, swore that he found
prussic acid in Mrs Benham's brain,
liver and blood He did not find it in
the stomach The examination was
made last January. and Vandenberg
swore that the seals on all the Jars were
intact, thus indicating that the Jars
had not been tempered with Dr. Van
denberg made his tests principally
with nitrate of silver.
The court room was crowded with
women this morning. Justice Laughlin
sharply rebuked them for talking, and
threatened to clear the court room un-
less they were quieter.
Druggist Jewell was still on the stand
when the day began, and the defence,
in cross examination, brought out the
fact that the bottle of prussic acid.
from which the acid bought by Benham
was taken, has stood in a light and
exposed place for years. The defence
is evidently aiming to show that the
poison had become inert, and therefore
could not have caused Mrs. Benham' S
death, even if it was administered

TOWNS ABOVE CITIES.
Unequal Representation in Our General
Assembly,

Unequal representation in Our General
Assembly.
Hon. Henry c. Robinson in his arti-
Gle in the book called the New England
States, says, referring to the constitu
ton Of Connecticut:
Owing to the many amendments add
ed to the original, its present form is
unsymme trical, but It is an organic act
of exceptional wisdom. 1t has one e1e-
ment of weakness and injustice.
Neither branch of the legislature repre-
sents the people of the commonwealth.
The upper house represents the people
Of the several senatorial districts, but
the districts cannot be established ac-
cording to population. Two senators
are secured for each county. The low
err house is representative Of the towns,
and not Of the people at all.
1t Is a strange example of the irony
of history, that the commonwealth Of
Connecticut. which is the, mother Of
democracy in America, and the first
people in history to establish self gov
eminent by written constitution, &C.
cupied the exceptional and solitary dis
tinction Of making an artificial entity
the town, its sovereignty from men,
sors of Roger Ludlow and Thomas
Hooker and children Of the Heavenly
Father.
This unenviable feature of the consti-
tutional law Of the state, long ago
abandoned by nearly all other represen-
tative governments, is not the result Of
design, but of new conditions The
constitution Of 1878 practically raised
I ,l,o t. tot ,k,s "a
not contemplate the great change SO
soon to come to the commonwealth
making 1t a manufacturing state with
new centers of population. Then the
towns were much alike-small. agricul-
tural, with church. a schoolhouse, a
green and stalwart community, whose
tastes and views and occupation were
largely kindred. To-day three cities
contain nearly one-quarter Of the popu-
lation Of the state, and even larger
proportion of its wealth, enterprise and
business activity.
By the census of 1890, New Haven,
Hartford and Bridgeport contain a
population of 1914 while the popula-
ton of the whole state was 746,258. At
the presidential election of 1890 they
cast nearly forty-nine thousand votes
out Of total of TIA, 594. These three
cities have three votes in a senate Of
twenty four members, and six votes in
a house of representatives with two
hundred and ffty-one members. The
intolerable injustice Of this is constant
ly increasing, the cities are gaining. the
towns are dwindling. seventy-nine out
of one hundred and fifty three towns In
the state lost population in the decade
1SS0-1890. The legislature is the chief
department of government The lower
house is the leading branch Of the leg
islature. and the demand for a proper
and democratic basis of representation
In it must soon be conceded.

TO GEORGE THE SULTAN.
Naval Demonstration Against Turkey

Naval Demonstration Against Turkey
Defy Europe
London, July "a dispatch from
Constantinople, under yesterdays
date, says that the ambassadors OF the
powers are considering the question Of
making a further demand upon the
porte for an explicit reply to their pro-
posts In regard to the establishment of
the Graeco-T Turkish frontier, and it Is
probable that they will recommend
that their respective governments re-
call them and organize a naval demon
stration in the Bosporus. In political
circles In Constantinople 1t is believed
that unless some demonstra ton is
made to compel the porte to yield no
progress can be made In the direction
of the conclusion of peace.
The Turkish squadron In the Darda-
nelles has been ordered to get In readi-
ness to sail for Crete with three months

Vienna, July 9.--The Turkish ambas-
sador, Nahmoud Nedim Bey, having

GAN

A Bridgeport. Conn, boat builder
has nearly completed a handsome cam
launch for ]. Pierpont Morgan of New
York The entire woodwork of the
craft is of Honduras mahogany. The
launch is thirty-five feet long, and is
designed to travel sixteen miles on
hour She is equipped with thirty
five horsepower double-expansion en-
CINE and thirty-tlve horsepower high
pressure copper boiler. According to
the local United States inspector, the
launch will be the first American craft
to use copper boiler. Liquid fuel is
to be used, and special action was taxi
en- by the United States board of steam
boiler inspectors recently on applica-
ton of the builder which resulted in
the passage of a rule allowing the use
of copper boilers on steamboats, when
liquid fuel Is used.

and Ernest and Sidney osling, went on
their bicycles to Lake Josephine, and
while in the water the drowned boy
was taken with a spell of heart fail
ure and sank, drowning in only four

taken to the home of his parents.
