 Scheme to Down Daniel O'Reilly, the
 Constable, Fell Through.
 Meriden, Sept. 28.-The democratic caucus held here last evening excited but little interest, and was the tamest caucus held here in years The attend ance was small, and the entire ticket with the exception of the constables was voted upon without any opposi- ton. Tha principal nominees are as follows:
 Town cle rlS-John M Hull
 First sele1tman-Marcus E. Cook
 Second selectman-J. Norris Barnes.
 Collector-Lorenzo R. Cook.
 The nominees for the position of con- stable though met with opposition and had finally to be put to ballot The opposition was the result of a scheme to down Daniel O'Reilly, who has for years been constable during which time he has performed efficient and merito- rjous service. O'Reily lives on Mead ow street, though, and recently signed q petition of the residents of that street against the granting of saloon license to Michael Tiennessy The petition was considered by the commissioners and the license refused. I1ennessy laid the blame to O'Reilly and tried to take revenge last evening. --....-- ...

 News has been received in New Ha- ven of the death of William Lowry of Coyington, Ky, brother of Mrs. Minot E. osborn, jr, The Register says:
 "The death of William Lowry, which nue, Sunday, was not unexpected. Five weeks ago his mother was called to his bedside in the Adirondack mountains, where he had gone some time previous In search of health, but he did not im- prove" says a writer in local Gov ington paper Two weeks ago his de- voted mother returned home with him William Lowry was born in Lexington in 1872, and when a mere boy he came with his father and mother to Coving- ton He attended the city schools and finished his education at Rugby, when Dr. Lord was connected with the school. After leaving the school he entered his fathers business house, Lowry & Goebel, where he remained until about two years ago, when his health gave way and he went to Denver, thinking the climate would arrest his lung trou- ble, but the high altitude produced heart trouble, which was the immedi ate cause of his death
 He was very retiring in disposition, but by his noble character and kind actions he had gathered around him circle of devoted friends, who will mourn for their young companion who so early in life was taken away. His desire was to live and be hopeful to the last, but he had no fear of death, for his life's journey had been over a path that leads to a heavenly home"

 George w. Rowe of the board of char ities and correction will go to Middle town to-day for six New Haven inmates who have so far recovered as to be fit subjects for treatment at Spriugsidc home. The expense of care and treat ment at Springside is less than at the insane retreat, and so it is always de- sirable to have those cured beyond the dangerous point returned. MT.

JERSEY CITY LIFE SAVER
Member of the Davis As
ISOLATION Jumps Into the
Water and Saves Two
Lives.

James Dougherty, of No. II Morris
street, one of the popular members of
the Robert Davis Association, has made
a record as a life saver. Thursday night
while on Pier No. AZ, North River,
Dougherty was attracted by the screams
of young women struggling in the water.
Looking around he saw a rowboat, bot
tom up, directly in front of the dock, and
the women doing their utmost to get
hold of it. Two men were also in the
water but were making no effort to
save the women, who were evidently
with them. Dougherty, seeing the dan
ger, threw off his coat and plunged into
the water. He grasped one of the women
and brought her to the pier, where she
took hold of the piles and remained
there while Dougherty went out for her
friend. The two were finally pulled upon
the dock by several men who watched
the heroic rescue.
The two men saved themselves the best
they could. All reached the dock in
safety. The women ave their names as
follows:-Kate Ryan, aged % years, of
No. 81 Bedford street, and Kate Burns,
aged "a years, of No. Y Barrow street,
both of New York. They said that they
had been out rowing with Cornelius
Donrey, of No. 2S5 West street, and Jas.
Boyle, of No. rs Bedford street, also of
New York. The women said, as the boat
was passing the pier, one of the men at
tempted to change his seat, the boat
upset and threw the occupants into the
water. After thanking Dougherty for
his rescue, the party left for their homes
none the worse for their ducking.

There seems to be an ever growing ten
dency among Jersey City's social coterie
to remain in the city until summer is well
advanced. Last year it was the war that
kept people back from the seashore re-
sorts. and this year it is the weather. The
month of May was so pleasant and SO cool
throughout that many decided the city
was not such a bad place after all. and
accordingly began to make arrangements
to remain at home during the warm
weather, but June came with such rising
protest against this movement that the
temperature Immediately went up. chang
ing everything, even the club woman's
mind. and she is now only waiting for a
cool spell Of ~twenty-four hours or so in
which to pack up ere she will leave the
city to its dust and mosquitoes
Card clubs are numerous, old and popu-
tar. There is nothing novel about them
and yet they are society's fad. Bowling
clubs. however. are somewhat more OF a
novelty. especially where feminine grace
abounds, and greatly in the minority IN
Jersey City. One of these latter organiza-
tons. which has been in existence since
last November. is the mo Name Bowling
