Lifeless Body Discovered by Alderman
Smith of New Britain

New Britain, April 9.-As Alderman
James Smith was rambling in the woods
in the southern part of Newington this
afternoon he came Unexpectedly upon
the lifeless body of man in swampy
piece of land at least half mile from
any habitation. The man was lying face
downward in the swamp and the body
was without the slightest article of
clothing. The remains We're consider
ably decomposed. Mr.. Smith at once
returned and reported the gruesome dis
covery to Chief of Police johnson, who
in turn notified Coroner Taintor of
Hartford. A coroner's deputy will visit
the swamp tomorrow to take charge of
the remains and make investigations.
There is no knowledge of any one be-
ing reported missing from either this
city or Newington. The fact that the
body was relieved of all its clothing
would give some color to the belief that
the person was the victim of foul play.

rs HAVEN, MONDAY

During that term of more than third
| of a century he was copcerned in some
of the most important cases ever pass
ed upon by the supreme court. Among
the prominent decisions was the famous
test oath case, in which he gave the
casting vote, and wrote the opinion of
the court annulling the validity of the
iron clad' oath. His dissenting opin-
ions in the confiscation cases, the legal
tender cases and in the New Orleans
slaughter house cases, attracted the
widest attention.
During his long service on the bench
he was also before the public eye in
other ways than as judge of the Unit
ed States supreme court. He was
member of the Hayes-T1lden electoral
commission in 1877 and voted with the
democratic minority. In 1880 he receiv-
ed siXty-five votes for the presidential
nomination at the Cincinnati convention
on the first ballot. In 1878 he was ap-
pointed by the governor of the state of
California one of the cmmittee to exam
inc the code of law of that state. In
1856 Williams college conferred upon
him the degree of LID, and in 1869
the regents of the University Of Califor-
MIA made him d professor of law in that
institution. In 1889 one of the most SEN
sational events of remarkable active
and vigorous career, largely passed in a
new country in process of development
from pioneer state to a highly civil
lied community, brought his personality
before the public. Sarah Atheil Hill
Terry had brought a famous suit
against ex-senator Sharon, a California
i-millionaire Justice Field was on
the bench. The outcome of the case was
unfavorable to the plaintiff and engen-
dered in her feeling of hatred of the
jurist. This eliminated in her attempt
to chastise the aged jurist in the dining.
hall, or depot eating house at Lathrop
Cal, railway junction. Judge Terry
who had been her attorney in the suit
against Sharon, and who afterward
married her. interfered and when it
seemed that he was attempting to do
violence to Justice Fields person, David
Nagle, Tinted States deputy marshal,
drew revolver and shot and killed
Judge Terry. Nagle was acquitted.

tant News.

Manila, April 9, $3.50 a. m.-The ex-
pedition of 1,500 men under Major Gen
eral Henry w. Lawton, which started
last night with the intention of crossing
Santa Cruz, on the eastern shore of the
lake, and then sweeping the country to
the south, consists of 200 picked sharp
shooters, chosen from the various regi-
ments, Hawthornes mountain battery
Gales squadron, three troops of the 4th
cavalry, unmounted with Brokne's and
Tappen's battalions of the 14th infan-
try Linck's battalion of the 1st Idaho
infantry and FRAMES battalion of the
1st North Dakota infantry, under Gen
eral King
The fotilla of twenty canoes, towed
by tugs and conveyed by the gunboats
LaGuna de Bay, Oeste and Napidan,
and preceded by the launch containing
General Lawton and General King,
started for San Pedro Macati, on the
River Pasig moving toward the lake
just as evening was setting in 1t was
a truly picturesque scene. The men
were all in high spirits and carried ra-
tions for ten days, with the lightest
marching equipment.
General Lawton's plan was to reach
Santa Cruz this morning at daybreak,
to capture or destroy any rebel gun
boats or shipping, to take the town, and
then to scour the country to the south
of the lake, a district not vet explored
by the Americans The tactics will be
those of the old frontier fighting, and
it is probable that the command will be
divided into squads of twelve, under
non-commissioned officers. In General
Lawton's absence, the second division
is temporarily commanded by General
Overshne, whose lines extend from the
beach, near Malate, south of Manila,
to the shore of LaGuna de Bay, beyond
Pasig, g. distance Of about seven niles.
The withdrawal Of the eighteen COM
panies constituting the expeditionary
force made a gap In the line from the
beach to Culiculi, just southwest of San
Pedro Macati, which was subsequently
filled by the Fourth Regular infantry.
The rebels, on the extreme right had
evidently been informed of the with
drawal of the troops, and they attempt
ed to sneak through after nightfall but
they met with a warm reception and
fell hack in disorder on discovering that
the line was still intact.

expressions of confidence in the gold
standard, your correspondence with Mr..
Warner sets forth your opposition to the
income tax and a newspaper item,
quoted in your book, gives your credit
for drafting that portion of the
Indianapolis platform which re-
lated to the retirement of
greenbacks and the substitution of
bank currency. Your prophecy that a
law to prevent wage-earners and SAL
ary-earners from demanding and secur-
ing payment in gold dollars would not
be winning issue evinces tender So
licitude for the laboring man. / might
suggest that bimetallism alarms you
more than it does the wage earners. 1t
was not the employees who were fright
ened at the spectre of free silver in 1896;
neither did the labQring men share your
desire to add to the privileges of the
banks. On December 20, 1897, year
after the election, the Federation of
Labor adopted the following resolu-
tionS:
Resolved, That we declare ourselves
most positively opposed to the Gage
financial bill recently introduced in con-
gress by the secretary of the treasury.
1t is a measure that, if adopted as
law, will only the more firmly rivet the
gold standard on the people of the coun-
try and perpetuate it's disastrous effects
in every form.
Resolved, That we pronounce the
Gage bill an undisguised effort to retire
our greenback currency and all govern
ment paper money with a view to the
substitution of national bank notes in
their stead, and thus fasten the national
bank system for years upon the Ameri-
can people.
I am not willing to believe that you
are more interested in the laboring men
than they are in themselves, or that you
know better than they what is good for
them. Yours truly
w r. Bryan.

SERIOUS ROW NEAR VEST POINT.
Candidates Clash With Village Boys
U. S. Grant Jr., Hurt.

U. S. Grant Jr., Hurt.
West Point, N. Y, April GA fierce
battle occurred at Highland Falls at a
late hour last night between candidates
for admission to West Point as cadets
on the one side and boys of the village
on the other The candidates are at
tending the preparatory schools at
Highland Falls prior to being examined
at West Point next June for admission
to the academy. There was about thir-
ty Of them in the fight, but they were
outnumbered three to one by the boys
of the town. The trouble began with
a free-to-hand encounter and the crowd
soon increased to such an extent that
stone throwing took the place of fists.
Several of the candidates were more or
less injured, but the most seriously hurt
was U. S. Grant, jr., appointed at large
by the president, who was assisted to
his quarters at Cranston's hotel. Many
of the town boys were also badly used
up. A young man named Hogan of
Westport was severely cut in the head
by a rock. The services of all the doc
tors in town were required to dress the
wounds of the injured. Hostilities con-
tinued for nearly an hour.
