If rumor has any basis on fact,
the Democratic party in Kent and
Sussex is in very unpleasant sit
uation. Dissatisfaction over the
ticket named last week is spreading,
and this will result in the retire
ment of County Chairman w. L.
Mcfarland, who will hand over the
reins to DR.. w. f. Hoey; who
trains with the Kenney faction, and
is not a member of the County
Committee. By far the most inn
portant part Of the present situa-
ton is the rumor that ex-senator
Kenney is about to throw over
Willard Salisbury, and that the
Salisbury Kenney compact is bro
ken. The rumors as published in
the daily newspapers is as follows
The rumOr was that John Biggs has
been substituted for Mr.. Salisbury and
hereafter it would be a Biggs-Kenney
compact, which would call for the votes
of the faithful of the party. Former
Secretary of State James H. Hughes il
is said, is awaking to political interest
in Kent and the report that one of hi.
relatives is on the legislative ticket
nominated by the Democrats and in /
stOng Democratic district, was citeC
in support of the rumOr. Mr.. Hughes
was one of the active spirits of tn
old Gray-W combine which
when they found themselves practi
cally leaderless in the state, took
leader from the opposition in the shap
ofMr. Biggs. 1t also said that ''rai
road man. has been nominated in on
of the other Kent districts, and thi
also is given as plume in the Bigg
hat.
There is no doubt that the old Gray
WOlcOtt element of this county wOul
be rejoiced if the report were true an
that Mr. Salisbury would find tt
ground cut from under him in IL
lower counties. The Biggs men a
parently has been making no fight

Neary having been accomplished wit
out opposition. Then it has been 9
suned that Peter J. Ford would be t

affairs of the Democrats. Mr.. Ford n
so long ago, was allied with the Big
element in this city, but it was said
the time that he did not like the W
the Biggs men worked in the low
hundreds of the county when Ford +
for governor and this caused a brea
which has not been healed.
Some of the Democrats political
said they would not be surprised lift
report proved correct. They argU
that Biggs is the stronger in the Low
and Democratic hundreds of the cOuI
and that he would be able to deli
as many men to Kenney as con

to regard the story as improbable fir

THE MOTHERS AND FATHERS OF
 POETS,

Moblus has, to the best of his belief, proved that poetic talent is in all cases traceable to the mother of the bard, The touch of sentiment in this position wins it ready acceptance. It is a fem mine doctrine, the obvious influence from which is that the rougher sex is not apt to beget those gentle beings, the poets,
 Francis Galton, however, in "Heredi- tary Genius" has stated positively fin the case of poets and artists, the infiu- ence of the female line is enormously less than the male." and he supports his assertion with summary of rela- tionships of twentyfour poets grouped | into twenty families. From this it would appear that Goethe alone can trace poetic talent to his mother From my father,' he says, "I inherit my frame and the steady guidance Of my life; from dear little mother (Mut- terchen) by happy disposition and love of story telling (fabultren)". Byrons mother is described as strange, proul, passionate and half mad" and Tassos as gifted in all respects. The other po- cts mentioned by Galton have some of them gifted fathers, as Milton; others, gifted uncles and other relatives most ly, alas, males.
 There are families in which literary and other talent is hereditary, as, for instance, the families of Coleridge and Wordsworth; but, as rule, the sons Of poets are dull dogs. The late Sir Percy Shelley should have been a paragon to judge by his ancestry, poet father and a mother who wrote "Franken- stein" Sir Percy Shelley, however. was content to win only social popular ity"as an organizer of private theatri- calls. The son of the poetic Brownings is a neritorious painter-not a poet and the descendants Of certain other famous poetic marriages are. alas, in lunatic asylums. We have in mind three insane descendants of famous po- cts.
 It is possible that the children of po- cts are bored in early years by their surroundings and the mental attitude of their parents and hake haste to be- come prosaic. Certain it is that the sons of political reformers and enthusi- asts are often the most unprogressive of men, the sons of millionaires the least business-l like, and those of divines the least saintly.-Lanset.

SUIT FOR S16,0OO DAMAGES
BRO UGHT BY FATHER OF YOUNG
 THOMiS MOLLOY
Whose Leg Was So Badly Chewcd by a Boar That Amputation Was Necessary --The Bears and Their Owners Body Attached in tho Suit.

Thomas H, Molloy of 97 Water street, whose twelve -year-old son was so bad ly injured yesterday morning at the Starin dock by being bitten by Rus sian bear, that amputation of the right leg just below the knee was necessary yesterday afternoon, brought suit against P Batty, the owner of the bear, to recover $15,00O damages, The suit was brought by Edward J. Maher, at torney for MT. Malloy, and the papers were served by Constable Peter McNer- rey. MT. Batty is exhibiting his five trained bears at Polls theater this week, and the bears were attached there yesterday afternoon and Michael Smith was placed in charge as keeper. MT. Battys body was also attached in the suit, and he had not yet secured a bondsman last evening.
 The bear which did the biting is a Russian bear and one of troupe which MT. Batty exhibits at vaudeville houses as "Battys Bears" The animal arriv- ed in New Haven by the Starin line boat yesterday morning and were being unloaded when a crowd of boys went to the dock to see them. Among the boys was twelve-year- Thomas Mol Joy. In some way the bear seized young Molloy, and before he could be pulled away from the beast his right leg had been horribly chewed and las cerated from about eight inches below the nee to the toes. The stories as to how the accident occurred differ. The bear was in cage alone and some of the bystanders say that young Molloy stuck his leg through between the Lars of the cage when it was seized by the bear, while others say that the boy was standing close to the cage and that the bear reached through between the bars and seized the boys leg Young Molloy screamed and men came running to his assistance and forced the bear to let so his hold and pulled the boy away from the cage. His father, Thomas H. Molloy, who keeps saloon and restaurant at 97 Water street, was sent for. MT. Molloy carried the boy to the Emergency hospital on Chapel street. There they found that the bones in the lower part of the right leg were completely crushed and that the flesh was terribly lascerated. Amputation was at once decided upon as absolutely necessary and the boy was put under the influence of ether and the leg was amputated about eight inches below the knee, the father remaining present while the operation was performed.
 Young Molloy recovered from the ef- fects of the ether about Il o'clock in the forenoon. Last night it was said at the Emergency hospital that he was resting as comfortably as could be ex- pected and that the chances of his re- coyery were fairly good.

MISS MANNERING HEARD OF
 SMALLPOX.

News of the outbreak of smallpox among the members of the Hi Henry minstrel company has been consider ably discussed among theatrical peo- pie, and Miss Mary Mannering, who is to appear here Wednesday night at Parsons theater, in a production of The Lady of Lyons" with Kyrle Bel lew, was disturbed about it. In order to learn what the situation here was Manager Frank Mckee sent here his personal representative, A. T. Worm, who reached the city last evening and had an interview with Manager Par sons. He learned that the minstrels had not played at Parsons theater, but MT. Parsons told MT. Worm that. in order to allay Miss Mannering's fears, he would have all the rooms of the theater thoroughly fumigated before Miss Mannering's arrival. This was satisfactory and the sale of seats will proceed this morning without interrup- tion and the performance will be given. Hartford Courant.
