WITH SOCIALISTS.
Former Leader Is At the
Head Of Party Again.

Thomas P. Abbott, who was formerly
one of the best known workers of the
socialst-labor party in this city, has
again become an active member of the
local section. He will henceforth be
one of the chief directors of the social
list campaign, both in times of war, as,
for instance, in political and munich
pal campaign, and also during the in>
termittent periods, when the party's
ends are advanced by campaign of
education.
Mr.. Abbott was formerly president
of the Central Labor Union of this city,
but, believing that the methods OF
trade unionists did not vouchsafe the
remedy for the war of the capitalistlc
and proletariat classes, he became a
socialists and in very short time rose
to the front ranks.
He was the first candidate for any
city office whom the socialists put into
the field, and to him more than any
other member of the party at the pres
ent time is due the influence of the
socialist power After leading the par
ty to a position where it commanded
respect, difference arose in the party
councils, and Mr.. Abbott was excom~
municated for time. Later the mem
berS of the party We're reeonciled, and
asked him to return
This Mr.. Abbott was willing to do
under certain conditions. At first the
section was not ready to comply with
these, especially as they demanded
atonement for his retirement, but at
last the section has concluded to face
about and take Mr.. Abbott in full
standing, with the result that today he
is now the head director of the coming
campaign for the party, and will be one
of the leading speakers during the con-
test, possibly being one of the candi-
dates for the aldermanic board HIM

COMING TOWN MEETING
Matters to be Considered at Length by
Clinton Voters.

Clinton, Oct. pa town meeting will
be called within a very few days, for
the purpose of amending the technics
of the article by which former town
meeting underworld to appropriate $500
for the relief of the sick soldiers Of Co.
K. The selectmen and pretty much
everybody else in town feel that the
cause should not suffer by reason of
what at worst was an oversight of a
mild type in forming a motion. Treas
urer Harrity, whose conscientious de-
termination to do his duty-without
fear or favor,-as ne expresses it, in a
statement issued by him yesterday
called public attention to the error in
the article, says that he will be very
glad to put his name to the towns
check for the benefit of the relief fund
as soon as he can legally do it.
What will be done about the appro-
priation for sewers, which has already
exhausted the energy of TWO town
meetings, is not so clear. Solid citi-
zens have pencils out and are wastinS
them in trying to figure how much
more than $4,000 it viii cost to appro>
pirate $1,000 or any other sum for sew
er construction.
1t is time, however, that the careful
ness that prevents the will of the two
town meetings from taking effect, is
of very present origin. A leading citi-
zen of the town told the correspond
ent of The Spy of a dozen instances in
which large sums of money have been
paid out by order of town meeting, ex-
pressed in articles much more obscure
than either the article relating to $500
for Co. K, or the article relating to the
appropriation for sewers. This was
in no fault-finding spirit, but along
the line that it is never too late to be-
gin to be careful in conducting town
affairs.
UNFORTUNATE BOY.
Yesterday afternoon Arthur Smith,
IS years old, was committed to an in
sane retreat by Judge Stone, on the GER
titicate of two physicians. The boy
has never been wholly sane, and has
recently developed traces of homicidal
mania.
CAUSED MUCH COMMENT.
Not a soul in Clinton had heard of
the resignation of superintendent Nj
chols of the big Lancaster mills, ex-
cept the few Immediately concerned.
The news, published exclusively in The
Spy of this. morning, was of interest to
a greater number of people than any
other news printed here for some
weeks.

KILLED AT WARREN.
Body Of Unknown Young Man Found
Near 3. & A. Tracks.

Warren. Oct 2S.-The body of an I'M
known young man was found dead
near the Boston and Albany railroad
tracks, shortly after 6 o'clock this
morning, but the condition of the body,
and the fact that his body was not
mangled in any way, dispels the be-
lief that the death was caused by being
run over by the train. The fellow was
about II years old and he was shah
billy dressed and without money or pa
pers of any kind on his person. He
was found in the middle of the track,
and the appearances indicated that he
had laid down to rest Medical Elk
aminer G. f. Norwood viewed the re-
mains during the morning.

Rev. LGlgdon c.. Stewardson, former
rector o. St Marks Church, preached
there yesterday at the morning and
evening services. Mi. Stewardson is a
divine who is very well known in this
city, and one who was extremely popu
lar with all classes of people during his
residence here. He is now located in
pennsylvania. He was very cordially
greeted by the members of his old par
ish, many of whom would like to see
him resume his ola pastorate, as the
church is now without a spiritual head
1t seems, however, that there is little
likelihood of this, as there has
been no action leading to such consum-
nation taken, and it is not thought that
Mr.. Stewardson would consent to give
up his present charge, where he is I'M
derstood TO be very pleasantly located.
He was entertained while in the city at
the residence of C. A. Allen, So Wa

HIS SKULL FRACTURED.
Serious Results of a Nationality
Fight After a Dance at Oily
phant-An Arrest Made.

The last number on the programme
Of dance at Berger's saloon, Oily
phant, Saturday night was an en-
counter between Ignotz Who's and
Loponski. The latter is Polish, and
the former an Hungarian. The ques-
ton of nationality and the free-flowing
beer raised the issue between the men.
They were friendly enough early in
the night, so chummy that they danced
on the same set several times. The
fight proper took place a short dis
tance from Berger's place, toward 10
o'clock. Loponski was beaten so badly
that he was not expected to live last
night. County Detective Leyshon was
informed that the mans skull is frac-
tured and compressing the brain from
a blow of a stone on the forehead.
A warrant was sworn out before JUS
| tice of the Peace Mason The con-
stable had a hard time to arrest Wi
zos. He plunged through a glass door
to escape, and managed to get through
| it. The constable later on located hin
under heap of old quilts in the cellar
He was unable to give bail for his ap'
| pearance at court and was committed
to the county jail.
The charge against him before the
| justice of the peace was assault anC
battery, but he will be detained await
ing the result of Loponskfs injuries.

SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFRAY.
1t Is Reported to Have Occurred at
Marshwood.

County Detective Leyshon was no.
tifed yesterday afternoon of a murder
at Marshwood, and went up in that
locality in the evening to investigate.
From what he learned the man is not
dead, but there are two bullets in his
body. The name of the wounded man
Is Andrew Podlavtch.
Mr.. Leyshons inquiries were made
under great difficulty. Marshwood is a
much -the-way place. 1t was
late in the afternoon when he heard of
the case. and being unable to obtain
very definite information he decided to
wait until this morning.
No one seemed to know where the
man was taken after he was shot, who
shot him, or what doctor is attending
him. The story current was that Poda-
lavitch was on his way from Jessup
late Saturday night. and was ambushed
about half way home. 1t was dark and
he did not know who fired at him.
