DEATH OF EDWIN 1T. ENGLISH. New Haven Loses a Valued Citixen-
 Died Last Night.


 The death of Edwin Holt English, which occurred last evening at about ten o'clock at his residence, No. 390 Prospect street. will bring sincere sor- row to the hearts of many of our resi- dents. Mr. English was man held in high esteem. He passed away while hardly yet in middle life. The deceased youthful days attended Frenchs pri- vate school. He entered business life in the office of his father, the late ex- Lieutenant Governor Charles L. Eng fish, the lumber merchant, and upon the death of his father succeeded to the latter's interest in the business, the old firm name of English & Holt being con- tinued. In late years the firm name has been E. H. English x Co.,, Charles D. P. Sanford being the partner. MT. Eng lish's health had been poor for the last three or four years, lung trouble having developed Last summer he spent at Bethlehem, in the White Mountains. He returned from there only ten days ago. Since last Sunday he had failed rapidly The deceased had in late years attended Center church. He was also member of the Quinnipiack club. He leaves wife, who is a daughter Of ex- Congressman s. W. Kellogg of Water bury, and six children. Yesterday was the seventeenth anniversary of his mar riage The deceased was a director of the Merchants National bank.

BRYAN AND M'KINLEY MEET
SPEAK FROM THE SAME PLATFORM
 AT CANTON, HE.
The Nebraskam Among tho First to Greet the President-Latter Heartily Shakes the Silver Orators Hand Bryam's Address Delivered After the Presidents Departure.

Peoria, H., Oct. 6,-Colonel William
 Jennings Bryan sat directly behind
 President Mckinley this afternoon at
 Canton. H.. while the president de-
 livered brief address to the citizens
 of that town. A state fair is in pre- gress at Canton and Colonel Bryan had been secured to deliver two
 hours speech. The Nebraskan was among the first to greet President Mo- Kinley as he left the train and as cended the platform. When the pres ident concluded his address he turned and heartily graeped Colonel Bryan's outstretched hand. Good bye, Mr. President" said Colonel Bryan, as the president responded with a word of farewell. This closed the short meet ing between the former rivals of 1896 as the presidential train left immedi- ately Colonel Bryan delivered his ad- dress after the departure of the presi dent.
 President Mckinley said at Canton: "Our glorious old flag, the symbol of liberty, floats to-day over two hemi- spheres. During the recent war we udu eAulUlliOllS Ol ulpISCSuSHted pat riotism on the part of the people and unmatched heroism on the part of our soldiers and sailors. (Applause) Our second great triumph is the triumph of prosperity. The busy mills, the active industries, the general prosperity, have scattered plenty over a smiling country Our third great triumph is the triumph we have had over section alism. We are no longer divided people, and he who would stir up ami mosities between the north and south is denied a hearing in both sections. The boys of the south and the boys of the north fought triumphantly on land and sea in every engagement during our recent war.
 North and south together brought now on the same level, in peace a com mon flag salute; and with free and rivalry harvest the fields whereon they fought So I conclude by saying that this nation has been great ly blessed and at this hour we are a united and prosperous and patriotic people. And may the Divine Provi- dence who has guided us in all our from the inception of the government continue his gracious and assuring favor to us for evermore."

REVISION OF THE STATE IA TVS.
Atty. D. G. Warner to Head COmmitte
 -J. H. VsiH to Go to Paris.

Winsted, Conn.,, Oct Ex-Governor Lounsbury visited ex-Governor Cooke here to-day and incidentally there were few important accouncements. Semi officially it was stated that State At torney Donald c. Warner would be chairman Of the committee on the re- vision of the state laws and also 1t was announced that MT. Warner had ac- cepted the commission. Attorney War ner is an ex-state senator, who was a member of the upper branch when Governor Lounsbury was a state sen ator, and Senator Warmers reputation during that session was that of one if not the leader of the upper branch of the legislature. Governor Lounsbury also incidentally announced that Joseph H. Vaill of Winsted would be the rep resentative from Connecticut for the Paris and Buffalo expositions, and the latter appointment will be officially announced in a few days. The com mittee on the revision Of the states statutes will not have to report until the next legislature.

Springfield, Mass, Oct. 6.--Fire broke out in the two upper floors of the Springfield Steam Power company S building at 33 to 39 Lyman street about 10 o'clock tonight and ragged fiercely for about three horus, the total loss be- ing about $40000, fully insured. The building is occupied by the Riveted Harness company, the Victor Sporting Goods company and the Springfield Steam Power company, and all were heavy losers. The worst trouble was caused by the large quantity of rubber goods in the Victoria companys depart ment. These burned fiercely and had it not been for the good service done by the water tower the building and con tents would have been a total loss Street railway traffic was blocked for about an hour and half.

THE MEET COMMITTEE.
Eviden ce Showing Corruptiontn in Build
 ing of Dewey Parade Stands.

New York, Oct. 6.-Perhaps the most interesting subject up for discussion at to-days session of the Mazet investi- gating committee was the Dewey pa- rade stands. The first witness was pr.
 Charles F. Roberts, chief sanitary su- perintendent of the board of health. Dr. Roberts submitted certain docu
 ments showing that the Dewey stands
 were not constructed in a sanitary fashion. Stephen F. Berry, owner of
 one of the Dewey parade stands, testi- fled that his partner settled matters
 by giving one inspector $5 and another inspector $25.
 The next question brought up before the committee was the East river
 bridge matter. Attorney Moss hoped
 to prove that the city would be obliged
 to buy out private franchises for bridge
 sites before the public bridges could be
 constructed to the borough of Brook
 lyn, but this was denied by Bridge
 COHlInlSSlOnpT oIled. EI. MGy6I, C.
 dock commissioner and partner in the
 real estate business with Richard
 Croker, created something of a scene by demanding of the committee an immediate hearing. claiming that it was
 necessary for him to attend meeting of the dock board. This was denied him and an exchange of words followed, MT Meyer finally leaving the room.
 Park Commissioner Brewer was be- fore the committee and an attempt was made to induce him to explain troubles recently occurring in his department. He pleaded that he was of Revolution ary stock and consequently would not rob the city J. Sergeant Cram, presi- dent of the dock department when closely questioned regarding certain as- phalt pavements put down by the Uvalde Asphalt company, took refuge behind the statement, If I didn't obey the law, there's the grand jury" The days proceedings wound up with all attmpt to examine Peter F. Meyer who had again been called into the room and placed on the stand MT Meyer broke out with passionate objection to being examined by MT. Moss. He even ob- jected to having any other reputable man examined by him." He said there was a matter of long standing between them-a personal matter.
 MT. Moss said that he had been warn ed that the next time he put a member of Tammany Hall on the stand his rep utation would be ripped up He assert ed that he was willing to have his name blasted tomorrow if only to-day he could put one of them on the stand. This was his reply to the threat and the warning. The examination then proceeded, the question of why MT. Meyer voted for the Uvalde paving con- tract being first taken up. MT Meyer was still on the stand when the commit oIi tI,o

 pose. It was erected by these patriotic
 women that it might for all time perpet-
 uate a glorious page of American his tory. It tells the whole story of the
 war, the siege, the march, bivouac, bat
 tie line, the suffering, sacrifices of the
 brave men who from '61 to '65 upheld

I like this symbol that face to-day, the defense of the flag

 That is what we do wherever that flag flies. (Applause.) And with us war always sleeps when the assailants of our flag consent to grant terms of unconditional surrender. (Great and continued applause.) I could add noth- ing of patriotic sentiment to that which has already been uttered. But I de- sire to express in this presence my ap- preciation, not of the tribute that was paid to the president of the United States but the tribute which the peo- pie of Peoria city and Peoria county have paid to the brave defenders of the American flag in time of our great est peril.
