THE COMING CONVENTION.
Haddam Delegate Outlines His Ad-
 iournment Plan.

Hartford. Dec 19.-Delegate George NJ. Clark of Haddam was in the city yesterday and gave expression to his notions and plans about the coming convention MT Clark said that he had noticed that the secretary of state was going to call the convention to meet in Representatives. hall at noon. He said he intended to issue call to all who sympathized with his views to meet in some other room there at 10 o'clock to count noses. If he found enough followers, he should go with them to the convention. move to adept the constitution as he has rewritten and printed it. and then adjourn sine die, making the session of the conyen- ton amount to less than half of a day.
 The general talk among all delegates whom representatives of the COurant encounter is such as to create the opinion that MT Clark will find very few advocates of his project. Dele gates from small towns have not hesi- tated to express the opinion that what ever their own sentiments, they want ed to hear both sides and that they would not think of adjourning at once, as that would be ar insult not merely to other delegates but also to the state of Connecticut in whose name the gathering is called.

POLICE COURT DoINGs.
Alleged Itinerant Vendor Before the
 Court This Morning.

Alleged Itinerant Vendor Before the
 Court This Morning.
 The lash applied by the Mer- chants association to the police de- partmept through E. W. Nooring the real estate agent. has already had good results. The application of the whip was made yesterday and in the after noon the first of the harvest began to come in in the arrest of NJ. A. Jeres- siti. dealer in rugs and knick- -knacks, on Bank street, for violating the ven dor law. Never in all the interesting history of this department of the mu- nicipality was such quick results shown. Had the department been asleep. as 1t appears to have been, the term waking up could judfciously be applied to it. The Merchants asso- ciation had been bothered and annoyed by itinerant vendors invading the city at all times and places without fear of molestation from the police. Other parts of the state they could not enter without complying with the law, but Waterbury they could without fear of anything or anybody. The trouble was the police department was not in- structed by its head on this matter of the vendor law, or else the individual policeman had forgotten his instruc- tions. The latter. however, does not seem to fit the situation. for scarcely had the chief of police stated that he wonld ''see to it." when an attempt to carry out the law was made by the chief of police instructing Detective Sergeant Cahey, and the latter pro- curing evidence upon which the above named was arrested Quick work, certainly, and it only shows what the police department of this city is cap able of when it is awakened to a real ization of it's delinquencies by an in- strument like the Merchants associa- tion,
 In consequence of all this. MT Jer- essiti was in the city court this morn ing charged with violating the law re- lating to vendors of the itinerant char acter. He was represented by Attor- ney Russell. Prosecutor Durant stat ed that he wished for an adjournment to inauire further into the case. At least he wanted a few days. because from inquiries he had made the police seemed to have parked up the wrong tree. However. it was step in the right direction and Mir Jeressiti would not suffer were he found to be not guilty.
 Mir Russell then stated that his client ought to be discharged. The man came to the city apparently honestly intending to continue business here. The business he is engaged in occupies a large store in some of the large cit ies of the state. He could see no req son why this man was selected for the example. when not so very long ago in the heart of the city a fakir con ducted openly and evidently without fear of interruption by the police a business that was glaringly temporary. Judge Burpee replied that if these facts can be proven the accused is un- questionably not guilty of the crime charged, but he could suffer no hard ship by continuing the case and it was accordingly continued to Monday.

 Man Who Arrests Woman
 New York. Dec 19.-A savage Spitz dog belonging to two women who were caught shoplifting in Batterman's de partment store in Williamsburg yes terday afternoon caused consternation among the shoppers. Assistant Su- perintendent Hasslinger saw Mrs Ro- sic Blassner, aged 31, of 197 Boerum street, acting suspiciously and watched her. Mrs Blassner carried an infant and a four year old girl clung to her skirts. When the woman was seen to take waist and put it into her bag Hasslinger requested her to accom- pany him to the private office. Mrs Blassner set up cry and her children joined in. X crowd gathered and heaped abuse on Hasslinger. He was followed to the elevator, where he showed the shoppers that the woman's bag contained . satin corset, silk skirt three dozen silk handkerchiefs and several pairs of gloves and stock ings.
 The woman was taken to the top floor and while she was being searched f1aSSlluSeT@ NeAL Iu LHc- SlltcL- U 5CL Policeman Meyers. On the way, Hasslinger, it is alleged, saw Mrs Ro- sina Scofone of AT Buskwick avenue and her 16 year old daughter Angelina steal silk waist. They had tho Spitz. The animal snapped at Hasslinger and the crowd became frightened and ran out. The women quieted the dog and it was taken with them to the upper floor. \ patrol wagon from the Stagg street station took away the whole party, including the dog. On the way to the station the dog escaped. The women were each held on the charge of larceny. Mrs Blassner was per- mitted to keep the infant and her hus- band later took charge of his four year old daughter.

FOR CHIEF OF POLICE.
Probability That Captain Ryan Will
 Temporarily Succeed Chief Bill.

IempOfafliy Succeeu CnleI BllI.
 Hartford. Dec 19.-In speaking of the selection of a successor to Lfef of Police Bill d prominent city official said that it was not improbable that Captain Cornelius Ryan would be pro- noted to the head of the department, temporarily at least, and awarded the honors and emoluments of the posi- ton. This, the gentleman said, would be doing justice to an officer who has served long and faithfully. The un- derstanding is that Captain Ryan would soon retire on half pay, and q new man would be placed i'll command.
 It is the concensus of opinion that the department needs 0 man who has not been identified with the police force in this city; one who has strong executive ability and would main tain strict discipline in the depart ment This man, it was said, ought not to be more than a years of age.
 Mayor Harbison said yesterday that it would be a graceful thing for the commissioners to promote Captain Ryan to the position of chief to sue ceed Chief Bill. Captain Ryan, by long service, he said. had won this much from the department. It was not altogether improbable that in q few months Captain Ryan would desire to retire in favor of a younger man. but his decision to do this in the fu- ture ought not to influence the selec- ton now. It would be q nice thing and q just thing to promote Captain Ryan, and he would favor snch action.
 Relative to the use of his own name i'll connection with the vacancy, Mayor Harbison said that under no circum- stances would he consent to accept the appointment Before I would be chief of police" said the mayor. T would go out to Rocky Hill and break stone"
