.Dus,IIB stti. ASSAlL THEIR LEADER.

Representative Lamar Made Attack
 on J. s. Williams In the House.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The wash ing of Democratic linen for the amuse- ment of Republicans" as Mir. Williams, the minority leader, put it, occupied the attention of the house for more than four hours. The result accomplished was def thrown at the minority lead CT by Representative Lamar (Fla.) and another by Representative Shackleford lMo.l..
 The complaint of both resulted from the failure of Mir. Williams to recom- mend their appointment as members of the committee on interstate and for eign commerce Both made long speech es, in which Mir. Williams leadership was assailed from many points. MT. Williams replied to Mir. Lamar at some length and briefly to Mir. Shackleford. His defense was that last session the Democrats on this committee were di- yided, and he deemed it necessary for the good of the party and the country that united minority report should be made on the subject of railroad rate legislation. At times there was high tension in the debate. Mir. Lamar was particularly bitter in his criticism and openly declared that his heretofore per Bonal friendship for Mir. Williams was Forever at an end unless the criticism of himself were retracted. He, how ever, would recognize Mir. Williams as the party leader
 Mfr. Shackleford denounced all bosses and placed himself entirely independ- ent of party leadership in the house.

MORE WATCHES
Archibald Bannatyne Will Be Head
 of New Watch Co.

Waterbury Is to have another watch factory, so that if it has already dc. quired world wide. reputation as the city of clocks and watches and brass industries with it's present plants, 1t ought to be able to keep it up when some more are added. The new con- cern is the Bannatyne Watch %, which has leased the second floor of the Cross & Speirs shop on Canal street and is now moving i'll it's ma chinery Mir Bannatyne, the head of the firm. has been resident of Wa terbury for years and is considered one of the brightest men in his line In New England. He was for long tune connected with the Waterbury Clock Go and is the owner of several pat ents on clock and watch movements. It was supposed that the company had decided to locate in Ansonia, but after looking over the ground they found that they could do better i'll Waterbury than elsewhere. They have all the floor space, light and power at Cross x Speirs' and there is no reason why the business should not pay. They will employ forty or fifty hands as soon as they get started and before long it is expected that a great many more men will be needed. The Cross X Speirs Go will continue to do busl- ness on the other three floors Of the building. the basement. first and top floors. The new company is capital ized at S50,O00 the principal owners being MT Bannatyne. Franklyn Farrel, ir. and MT Bryant. the TWO last named of Ansonia. The name of Mir Farrel as one of the stockholders is pretty safe indication that the concern IS es- abolished on sound financial basis.

 rrnkard. Monroe, who seems to be happy go lucky sort of fellow, has ,een brought ill six times since last 1arch, but always escaped going to ail by either being given to the proba- jon officer or being discharged. Pro Jation Officer Combellack testified that he accused always paid his fine promptly. Monroe asked to be let off his time, but the judge said his record vas against him and gave him thirty lays for drunkenness. Because Of his ecord with the probation officer he suspended sentence on the other harge.
 James Griffin, who lives in the D'Brien block on Bank street, was in !ourt again this morning charged with drunkenness and wife beating. It is bnly about one week ago since he was n on the same charges. During the spree last week he tried to clean out he house and smashed the furniture In all sides. Last night he started in b try his pugilistic abilities on his wife, and how well he succeeded was ihown in court this morning when his wife frail little woman, appeared on he witness stand with black eye. She testified that she had to support her three children, as her husband never gives her a penny and is drunk the greater part of the time. She makes a living by keeping boarders.
 Lester Perdy, one of the boarders, said that Griffin is a brute and has Ehrashed his (Griffin's) wife on several occasions.
 Griffin took the stand and said: tYour honor, my wife is a very cranky woman. Last night when I arrived home there was no supper and she grabbed carving knife and was going ko slice me when I asked her to pre- pare some for me-
 "Well, then, she is not safe woman to live with, is she?'' asked the court.
 No, your honor, she is not'
 s'In that case I will save you the trouble of living with her for about ninety days"
 Griffin was accordingly given thirty Rays for drunkenness and sixty days sor breach of the peace.

RETURNED TO LIFE.
Frozen Fish Now Active and Good as
 Ever.

Ever.
 Hartford, Dec 14.--It is an old story that frozen fish will come to life again If given the chance, but still good many people are incredulous. They ran see the proof in the window of Newton & Burnet's market on Asylum street. Some days ago when it was sharply cold the firm received lot of pond fish, just caught in the neighbor- hood of this city. These were frozen stiff, but after a while, under the in- auence of the milder conditions of the market, they began to thaw out and to kick and flop about. A number of them were put into water and soon re- stunned business. Several perch that are now swimming about in a large glass howl in the window were in the frozen lot referred to. They are in condition for the, Japanese custom where the person Ordering fish is shown Il lot of them in water ana asked to make his own selection.

There is just chance that Captain Tom Shevlin of the Yale football eleven can be induced to play hockey, says an exchange. Till this season he has been kept off the rink for fear of receiving an injury which might cripple him for football, but he has now completed his four seasons of football and can now take up hockey on its own merits. He was the star hockey player in the Hill school, where he prepared for Ynse. If Shevlin makes the hockey team he will have broken the Yale record for the number of "Y's" won by any athlete, making a total of four. Sheylin, Nor gan, Bowman and D. G. Thompson of Pittsburg. Yale, '79, are the only ath- letes who have won three "Y's". Shev- lin's are in football, base ball and track athletics.

Before his death Captain s. s. Brown transferred ownership in all of his Futurity eligibles to his brother. so that they could not be declared null and void according to the conditions of the stakes. This move was probably made by the late millionaire turfman because he recalled how the late w. c. Whitney's eligibles were declared out of the big races. It is understood that Robert Brown will continue to race the big stable on the old lines, although next season the horses will probably be leased to Robert Tucker, the trainer of the stable.
