KNOCKED FROM TOP OF TRAIN.
Man Badly Injured at the Howard
Avenue Bridge Last Night.

Man Badly Injured at the Howard
Avenue Bridge Last Night.
About 1890 o'clock last evening Ed
ward Monahan, who lives at 1856 Third
avenue, New York, while riding on top
of a freight train northbound was
knocked from the top of car at the
Howard avenue railroad bridge and so
seriously injured that there is slight
hope of his recovery.
Monahan and companion, who gives
the name of Peter Schuyler, were rid
ing on the top of a freight car, having
come from New York on the train.
When the railroad bridge at the juno
ton OF Howard avenue and Kimberly
avenue was reached Monahan did not
duck his head. He struck the bridge
and was knocked from the top of the
car to the tracks. His companion.
Schuyler, alighted from the train and
going back found Monahan lying I'M
conscious beside the track. Schuyler
called for assistance and was heard by
people passing over the bridge. The
case was reported to the Howard ave-
nue. police station by telephone from
drug store. Detective Smith
and Patrolman PabOr were sent to the
scene of the accident and finding Mon
ahan badly injured they called the New
Haven hospital ambulance.
At the hospital it was found that his
skull was badly crushed and that
portion of the brain was protruding.
His right arm was broken and in some
way in his fall his right hand had been
torn to ribbons and only a bleeding
Jump remained. He was only partial
ly conscious at intervals. and it was
decided by the surgeons that it was not
advisable to operate upon his skull last
night. They therefore made him as
as possible, and expect to
operate uDon his to-day. 1t was said
at the hospital at o'clock this morn
ing that the chances of his recovery
were slight.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S FUTURE.
Cleveland Again Gives His Opinions
discrimination Useless.

Philadelphia Dec. 19,-Former Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland contributes to
this weeks issue of the Saturday Even
ing Post of Philadelphia, an extended
article on the plight of the democracy
and the remedy. Mr.. Cleveland begins
by reviewing the history of the party,
and he discusses its defects since 1864
in detail. In taking up the question of
the present condition of the democracy
be says that the success of the party
in 1892 was so decisive and overwhelm-
ing that long continuance of it's SUI
premacy was anticipated Then came
'that fallacy of free silver and popul-
ism
Mr.. Cleveland goes on to say that the
elimination of the party's woe was
reached when the compact with I'M
democratic forces was complete and
the betrayal was followed by the pun
ishment of defeat The disaster of 1872
invited, Mr.. Cleveland, by similar mad
adventure, was quickly followed by a
return to the professions and practices
of democracy, but the defeat in 1896 was
followed by the announcement that
second battle should be fought under
like conditions. Thus in 1900, the les
son of 1896 was rejected, and it was
demonstrated more clearly than ever
that the only forces that can win demo-
cratic success are adherence to demo-
cratic principles.
Mr.. Cleveland urges a return to these
and says that every democrat in the
land would hail the proclamation of the
old faith, with the lighting enthusiasm
that foretokens democratic triumph
Mr.. Cleveland touches in turn on free
silver and the federal courts, and be-
lieves that true democrats are against
''the general government
for protecting itself in the right of it's
functions against violent obstruction
within a state" Recrimination, says
Mr. Cleveland, is worse than useless.
This is a time for sober thought, toler-
ant language and fraternal counsels.
Above all things, there should be a re-
ANNEXATION of undue sectional control
In conclusion he says: "There is much
Tor us to do; and the future is full of |
duty and opportunity Our
lighting forces will respond listlessly |
md falteringly if summoned to a third |
lefeat in a strange cause; but if they
near the rallying call of true democra- |
" they will gather for battle with old |
lime democratic enthusiasm and cour- |

FINANCIALLY EMBARRASSED


to about $50, 600 The assets (uninven-
toried) are estimated at between $50 900
and $50 900. The capital of the concern
| is $4,000.
President Douglass states that this
condition of affairs is a result of a
business undertaking with insufficient
| capital.
This firm is well and extensively
| known throughout New England, and
! has been prominent for a long series of
years in the manufacture of confection-
cry and as wholesale dealers in confec-
tionery and cigars. The business has
been conducted under different firm
names over period of sixty years. 1t
was founded by the late Benajah H.
Douglass, who died few years ago up
wards of eighty years of age, and by
the late Henry S. Dawson, who, in his
later life, was for years president of
the New Haven Water company. The
firm of Dawson & Douglass was for
years one of the leading wholesale firms
of this city, and had fine stores and it's
wholesaleing department forty years
ago on State Street, near where State
Treasurer Mersick's fine stores are to-
day After the retirement of Mr.
Dawson Mr.. Douglass continued the
business and even upon a larger scale
than before the business having in
creased and developed The manufac-
tory and stores were for years on State
street, below Wooster street, and for
the last eight or ten years the firm has
occupied it's present quarters, rs and rs
Crown street, together with a large fac
tory in the rear. In the latter part of
Mr.. Douglass life his sons, John F. and
Benajah H., were associated with him
in conducting the business, and upon
his death the present firm of B. H
Douglass & Sons Co. was formed and
has since continued the business. The
firm has enjoyed the respect and es-
TEEN of the community, and still enjoys
it. 1t has a long and honorable rec
ord and has weathered previous rever-
SEES, and as was remarked by various
prominent business men last night, it

THE YOUTHFUL BISMARCK.
At Twenty-three He Had Definite Ideas
and Aspirations Regarding States
manship and His Career.


manship and His Career.
Berlin. Nov. 21.--The late Prince Bis
marck's letters to his wife, the APP
preaching publication of which I an
nounced few weeks ago, are now out.
The book is a handsome volume of
about 900 pages, containing SOC letters,
written during period of forty-three
years, and, with the exception of 49,
all addressed to the late Princess. The
editor, the present Prince Bismarck,
rightly says, in his short preface:
THE founder of our empire will be
more closely drawn to the hearts of his
countrymen by the publication of these
letters, which prove anew that his feel
ings We're as great and deep as his in
tellect. They are so full of warm feel
ing and of intelligent description that
they speak for themselves and need no
Introduction or elucidation.'
The editor has accordingly limited
himself to explaining a few personal al
lusions. There are no sensational dis
closures of a political or private ma
ture. Only now and again is a clearer
light thrown on the course of events;
and the object of publishing the cor
respondence is not to add to the docu-
ments of the Bismarck era, but to show
Bismarck at home. he first letter is to
Bismarck's father-in-law, Herr Won
Puttkamer, and asks him for the hand
OF ms daughter. Then there IS a letter
written by Bismarck to his father,
from Greifswald, Sept. 20, 1888, which
clearly shows that the future chancel-
lor had already as youth of twenty
three, definite views about his career.
Bismarck wrote:
THAT the nature of the occupation
and the official position of lower State
do not appeal to me in the
least that l do not consider 1t unouali-
fed good fortune to be an official or
even a minister, that it seems to me
just as respectable and in the circum-
stances more useful to grow corn than
to write administrative orders, that NV
ambition is more to command than
to obey-these are facts, for which |
can assign no cause except my taste,

A YOUNG COWBOY.
His Business Visit to Chicago.

His Business Visit to Chicago
Martin Wintin, boy of but fifteen
years, passed through Milwaukee ear
ly last week after having bought a
train-load of cattle from his fathers
ranch to Chicago and sold them. The
boy was alone in charge of the herd,
| having only some of his fathers men
| to take care of the cattle, and he at
/ tended to the collection of the thou
sands of dollars which were the price
of the stock.
| This visit to Chicago was the second
| that the dial has made in the same man
| ner as a year ago he made a similar
: trip, then, as last week, going to the
home of his grandfather and uncle near
Green Bay for a visit after depositing
in Chicago bank the price of the cat
tie. On Tuesday he went back to his
home in the far west, where he will
spend the winter.
Young Wintin is Wisconsin boy
having been born at the family home
stead where he visited a week ago, but
went to Montana with his parents when
but few years old. When he came
east he was dressed as a young cow
boy, though not carrying the guns and
wearing the buckskin trousers which
are commonly supposed to be part Of
the wardrobe of cowpuncher. The
sambrero which he wore was but
slightly different from the wide
brimmed fedoras which were affected
by Miwaukee's swelldom during the
summer, only it was bedecked with
cord of gilt, like those worn by G. A.
r. men.
The most noticeable think about the
lads costume was a heavy gold chain
which hung about his neck, and which
was many times the weight of the
watch whose guard it was. The chain
hung over fancy vest, and the trou-
sers the boy wore were long and wide
at the bottoms. His shoes were
scratched slightly where the young
cowpuncher had worn his spurs when
in the cattle raising valley of his faith
er's ranch That was all there was to
distinguish him from the ordinary boy
of his age.
Wintin's home Is near Deer Lodge
city, in the richest stock country of
Montana, though it is up among the
mountains in the western part of that
state. His father was one of the ear
lest stock raisers in that part Of Mon
tana, having gone there when it was a
wilderness, though it is fairly well set
tied now. A large amount of stock is
shipped out of the valley, and part of
it goes to Omaha. but occasionally some
of it is sent to Chicago instead. A
year ago Wintin made his first trip
alone in charge of a stock train, over
the Northern Pacific and down the
road from st. Paul. AtChi-
cago he completed the deal for the sale
Of the stock, which his father had par
TALLY arranged in advance, and deposit
ted in a Chicago bank the money which
was paid him.
The trip last month was about the |
same, only that there were more cattle
in the train. He went to the farm near
Green Bay after completing the sale of
his fathers cattle, and is now proba- |
oily at home again after his long trip of |
over two thousand miles. The stock
men who accompanied him on his trip, |
.aking care of the cattle while they /
we're en- route, went back to Montana !
