 For honeymoon trip Captain Day recommends a voyage with your wife as assistant navigator At every port they touehed-and they visited not a few-the captain and his bride went ashore night and morning. To the bride it was all wonderful, this seeing of strange places and strange people.
 Mrs Day smiliigly declared, as she looked fondly at her skipper husband, that the voyage had been wonderful one. It was suggested to her that on such trip her husband did not have to send word that he was sitting up with a sick friend or detained at the offics,

 In answer to Senator Blakeslee he said that at the citizens caucus there were thirty or forty present, mostly re- publicans.
 He further said that a petition was to be sent to the house stating that his election was secured by the purchase and distribution of liquor.
 Replying to this, he said that he was total abstainer opposed to liquor, and was a state officer of the temperance union
 MT. Averill said that the contest was never cleaner, and he fought for Smith because he was slandered unmercifully and called an oyster thief" for his action at a recent session of the general assembly. He said Branford was torn by factions, although two years ago all shook hands and agreed to bury axes. Continuing, MT. Averill said:
 T protest because MT. Kinney con- spired with the democratic party in my town to defeat one of the best men that ever represented the town of Branford or any other town"
 At this point MT. Kinney asked MT. Averill if he (AyerilD ever voted for democrat
 MT. Averill replied that he voted for Rice in 1900.
 MT. Clark then said that he was sorry MT. Kinney appeared in this role, be- cause he (Clark) had recommended him for prosecuting attorney.
 Mir. Clark added that MT. Kinney was simply the dupe of MT Fisk, of Bran- ford.
 Kinney said that neither Fisk nor any other man had any hold on him. Senator Blakeslee then closed the hearing and the committee went into executive session.

of the captains bride.
 Captain Day was married in Phila- delphia to Miss Tryon, a pretty Amer lcan girl, last July, and it was at his suggestion that his bride accompanied nm on the long voyage to South Afri- can ports. The fact that she was to be a passenger created great interest among the ships officers, and when the news became known there was a shin ing of buttons and sharpening of ra- zors which would have fattered the bride had she known it. This feeling was intensified when the ay before the lAros Castle sailed Mrs Days piano was swung over the side and her pet collie Jack Davis came to take possess sion of the vessel.
 Mrs, Day, who has never been to sea, was the life of the steamer from the time her blonde head appeared over the companionWay until she bade the off1- cers good bye yesterday.

 "You have heard our reply" he said.

The cablegram also stated that the companys steamer Admiral Sampson arrived safely at Port Antonio on Mon day from Boston.
 The cablegram added that the Samp- sons passengers are safe. The steamer sailed from here last Wednesday with about thirty-ffve cabin passengers and arrived at Port Antonio yesterday.
