MRS JANE JEDDEs.

Mrs Jane Geddes, widow of William Geddes, died at her home 1858 Bank street, Town plot. yesterday afternoon, aged 73 years all but three days. Mrs Geddes was born and brought up in the parish of Closeburn, Dumfrieshire, Scotland, and there William Geddes won her heart. She came to America in 1858, and on her arrival was married to MT Geddes in New York, where he, having come the year before, had a home prepared for her. Tn New York they resided about two years then came into the Naugatuck valley and took up their abode in Ansonia, then in Seymour, and from Seymour they came to Waterbury in 1858, MT Geddes coming here at that time to take charge of the machine shop of the Far rel Foundry X Machine company. In this city for nearly half century she exerted those good influences that only noble minded women can exert. Those who knew her intimately felt uplifted when in her presence. Cheerfulness. goodness, gentleness, were qualities that shone in her like the brightness of summer day. And while increas- ing the happiness of others she grew richer herself in wealth of soul. Dur ing the last seven months of her life she was unable to leave her bed, but her mind was clear to the end and she calmly awaited the time when, as she expressed it. she should .cross the bar" Before coming to Waterbury she was a member of a Presbyterian church, but here she became member of the Second Congregations church, ,, and was one of those who in 1892 left the Second and joined with others from the First in Forming the Third Congregational church to meet the wants of the people in the Brooklyn and Town plot districts. She leaves two sons, James R. and William J. of this city, and one daughter, Mrs F. A. Hart, of Cascade, Colorado: also two infant granddaughters, Jeane Brenton Hart and Margaret Armeen Geddes. Fer husband died in the Spring of 1896. The funeral will / take place Sunday afternoon, services at three o'clock at the Third Congregational church.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
All Arrangements Completed for Con-
 grsssionaI Convention.

It is expected that several prominent democrats from different parts of the state will be in Waterbury tomorrow b0 attend the democratic congression- al convention which will open in City hall at o'clock in the afternoon. At torney David E. Fitzgerald of New Haven will call the meeting to order. Unless something unexpected happens the proceedings will not last long, the only work to be done being the nomnna- ton of candidate for congress and the appointment of congressional committee.
 The delegates from Waterbury are: First ward, Dr James J. MeLinden and William McGowan; second ward. Dr Peter T. Keeley and Thomas B. Car ney; third ward Benjamin Witkowski and James E. Smith; fourth ward, Dan- iel E. Fitzpatrick. Daniel Cavanaugh and Peter FitzHenry; fifth ward, James Wilson, Charles Maf6r and John Healey.
 The delegates are not pledged to any candidate, but it is likely that in case Greene Kendrick is in the running. they would gladly give him hand for the sake of old times, and besides, if chosen, he would make things lively all around. MT Kendrick is one of the uUlesI SpShk6rb III the state.
 Sixteen of the 26 delegates from New Haven met last night and discussed the situation. The candidates men, toned were George MS Wallace of Wallingford and Lawyer Talcott H. Russell of New Haven While no defin- fte action was taken the sentiment seemed to be in favor of the Walling- ford man, a somewhat unusual thing among New Haven men, who are cred ited with holding all they can for their own townsmen. Thomas Brennan spoke in favor of MT Wallace, and former Congressman Pigott considered both excellent candidates.
 MT Wallace is a member of Wallace & Sons, of WalIingford, the silver smiths. He was member of the house of representatives in the early sos with Alexander Troup and James F. Pigott, and espoused the cause of Mir Pigott when it was sought to ex- pei him for an alleged insult to the dignity of the house. Delegates have been elected in his favor in Meriden. Wallingford and Madison, where he makes his summer home He is about 30 years of age.

IA CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT.
The Boston Pilot That Was Once a
 Family Paper.

The communication in yesterdays Democrat regarding the great political somersault of the Boston Pilot was discussed, at length i'll thousands of homes last night, and so far as can be learned the only fault anybody had to find with 1t was that 1t was too mod est. Father always read that paper" !" said a professional man to-day, land we kept 1t after his death, and now we feel that we hardly could get along without it. don't like to stop fam fly paper like the Pilot because the edi- tor has seen fit to change it's politics, but do object to the idea of sending out circulars with a view to corralling it's readers and rushing them up to the polls for any political organization. don't question the Pilots right to support the republican party, but feel that 1t cheapened itself In the estimation of the public when it came around free in the shape of cam, paign document in the interest of a party whose principles it has done much toward teaching some of us to despise. If the leopard has changed spots Pilot readers will want better proof than James Jeffery Roche and his associates can give them before be. lieying it. Anyway, it has not been characteristic of the Irish race to be over anxious to follow a leader who suddenly changes his coat. I'll con- tinue the Pilot for the present, but it's change of base on the political situa, ton will exercise no influence over me- I'll vote as I please, and I think most Pilot readers will do likewise. If any body wants to combat the Pilots ad- vocacy of republican methods he will find good material in it's own editorial dolumns of no recent date"
 Others said they intend to keep the paper until MT Gavegan, the general agent, makes his next call. and then they will pay up and tell Matt. what they think of the Pilots conversion to the k. Q. D.

INTENDED TO STAB GIRL
Man Who Used Knife Given $2s and
 Costs and Three Months.

It developed in the city courtl to-day that the stab wound received by James Hennessey. the bartender, on Tuesday evening. was intended for Miss Mary h Foley, with whom he was speaking at the time of the occurrence. The case was heard this morning, as Prose cutor McMahon found he had evidence with which to prosecute Joseph Behl, the man who inflicted the wound. Hen nessey is still unable to leave home, but there Is no danger of blood poison. Ing and he may be out Tn few days, Miss Foley furnished the main evil dence on which the state acted to-day, She testified that she lives at 451 North Main street, In the hve-story frame building situated on the north side of North square. She and MT Hennessey were standing on the side walk In front of the entrance to the building when they saw Behl approach from the opposite side. In Miss Fo-
 Iey's opinion he did not seem intoxi.
 cated. She did not know the man, in
 fact. had never seen him before to her
 knowledge. 1t was reported that she had objected to his placing a business
 sign at the entrance to the building mentioned
 Behj stopped near Hennessey and Miss Foley, uttering very strong lam
 guage. As neither of them knew him they considered 1t very strange con- duct and attributed 1t to an intoxicated
 state of mind.
 Hennessey asked the man if he had
 anything to say to him, and Behl con tinued his strong language. Hennes- sey advised him to move along, where upon Behl moved toward Miss Foley in threatening manner Hennessey 4Fr1TT andf fo cfn n Of and instantly a knife flashed and was buried in Hennessey's left thigh, be low the hip. Hennessey said, I'm stabbed" and Miss Foley called to Officer Daunais, who was on the south side of North square. Behl was II speaking when he inflicted the blow, \ but what he said Miss Foley did not understand.
 Officer Daunais, in telling the rest of the story, said Bkhl did not seem intoxicated, but it was evident that he had been drinking. He saw Behl put his hands in his pocket after the stabbing and when opportunity of fered the officer searched him and found an open clasp knife. For 100 yards or so the man went along all right bo the police station, but after that he resisted and 1t was necc ary to have assistance.
 Detective Dodds also said the man did not seem to be drunk, but had been drinking, still he knew what he was doing.
 Behps explanation of his strange conduct was that he was out all day Tuesday. He did not know either Miss Foley or Hennessey, and he did not remember anything of the Qcclir. renee. Behl is an expressman; he has no relatives hh'e, and has been four years in town and was never before in trouble with the law.
 On the charge of intoxic ttion he
 was sentenced to thirty days in jail
 and for assault he was fined $25 and
 costs and sentenced to three months in jail.
 A case against John Powers for
 breach of the peace was nolled. and Thomas Sears was fined $7 and costs
 for intoxication.

Prof Ortone and his local Italian Marine band will give a concert at Poli's on Sunday evening. Under Prof Ortone's direction this band has made excellent progress in the rem dering of concert music and it Is capable of giving an entertainment of attractive character for lovers of mu- sic. The professors long association with Creatore has been of benefit to him fin the matter of conducting, and some of the mannerisms that have made Creatore famous have been ab- sorbed by Prof Ortone to the extent at least of investing a concert under his direction with features of interest that appeal to others as we'll as those whn ara musically inclined.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Carroll d.
Wright. commissioner Of the labor Du-
iireau, in the eighteenth annual report
of the bureau, gives the results of a
comprehensive inquiry into the cost Of
living since 1896 and into the average
wage rate during those periods. The
showing, so far as concerns wages, has
been made public heretofore, an inves-
tigation Of 518 occupations, represent
ing siXty-seven industries in 3,429
separate establishment having shown
an average increase in wages during
this period Of 1876 per cent.
The inquiry into the cost of living
shows that living for workingmen's
families having under $1,000 income
per year has increased during this peri
Cd 1915 per cent. In order to ascertain
this average increase the labor bureau
secured the income and expenditure in
detail of 2,567 families in thirty-three
states, retail prices being taken. The
statement shows that the 2,567 fami-
lies consisted of an average of 5.31
persons and that the average income
for the year 1901 was 1927.
