Captain Bradley of Meriden Defeated By Vote of 2 to 10.
 New Haven, Dec 15.-Captain Hen ry Norton, Jr, of Company k, Wal lingford, was last night elected third major of the Second regiment. The members of the Officers association, numbering 40, and representing the + companies of the regiment, convened in the armory at 8 o'clock. Colonel T. H. Sucher presided. Adjutant T. T. Welles acted as clerk Major Til son and Major McCabe were both present.

 Captain Norton, 9; Captain Brad ley, 10; Captain Daniel Fitzpa trick, Company G of Waterbury,. l; blank,
 Captain Fitzpatrick was not can didate but q loyal lieutenant threw his vote for him.
 Major Norton is one of the best sharpshooters of the brigade and the trophies that he has won as a sharp shooter are innumerable, probably more than any other man in the Sec ond regiment, if not in the brigade His ability with the rife, coupled with his great success as coach for Com pany K rifle team has been the means of the latter company having an al- most unbroken string of victories and first trophies in the annual regimen+al shoot and placing more men from Company K on the regimentaI team i'll the brigade shoot than any other one coEnpany in the regiment
 As a tacdcian and drill master Major Norton is rated one, of the best in the regiment. He is deservedly popular with his conpany. In civil life he is of quiet disposition and very popular with everyone in his home town. He is superintendent of the Wallingrord IncorDorated Co.'S plant and as in his military career he is successful as a business manager.

CEPT A SURGICAL OPERATION, THAT

The study Of physicians. the experiments Of

The results have been number of harmless and
in most cases useless ointments, suppositories and
even internal remedies, which the public have
weighed in the balance of experience and found

common and distressing trouble; it has rapidly be-

The newspapers that favor the Lotteries
also talk feelingly about the danger of
estranging two great republics by such I'M

Americans here are laughing at the whole
affair which, indeed. would make a hne
plot for an opera bouffe were it not that
Savinen is in real danger of going to
prison.
On his lawyers advice Mr.. Savinien de-
MED all responsibility for the dispatch, since
mere utterance constitutes criminal de-
famation under the Mexican law, facts not
being accepted as justification.
Meantime Mr.. burst, finding that his min

Nearly Bled to Death.

A dispatch from Emporia, Kan, to the
New York Times last night says:
DR.. Charles Gardiner, one OF the best
known and most successful physicians In
the west. dropped dead from heart disease
today while performing an operation for
tonsilitis at the home Of patient.
He had just performed the operation. and
was in the act of applying medicines to
stop the flow Of blood which followed, when
he was seen to turn pale and stagger from
the room to an adjoining one, in which he
fell to the floor dead.
In the meantime the patient was steadily
bleeding. Other medical assistance was
summoned.
DR.. Gardiner had no one with him be-
cause of the light character of the opera
ton The patient was nearly dead when a
physician arrived, and was with hard work
revived.
DR.. Gardiner was a graduate of Rush
Medical College, Chicago; Jefferson Medical
College, Philadelphia, and Of the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania.
The dead physician was prominent in
scientific. social and Grand Army Of the
Republic circles, and was well known in
this part of the west for his intellectual at
tainments.

the United States government, and that
such measure as proposed is antagonistic

American minister's proposition for the adj
