FROM THE
 CAPITAL CITY

There is a big political hght on in Argenta, over city politics, and it promises to get warmer as the date for the city primary draws nearer. Saturday night number of citizens dissatisfied with the Faucette administration and in- cluding several persons formerly high in the city government, met and nominated John Farmer for mayor, in opposition to w. C. Faucette, the present mayor and candidate for re- election. Speeches bristling with accusations against the administration were made, and it was declared that fight to the finish would be made to lay the present municipal aggregation on the shelf. However, it Is evident, such an undertaking will involve considerable effort as Faucette will not lose any time in stalking his fences against all corners for mayoralty honors. Dr. w. H. Abingdon, member of the city council and former secretary of the State Guard Association, is one of the leaders in the opposition to Faucette's administration.
 Contrary to reports concerning Senator Jeff Davis new bill in Congress it deals with the bucket shop question, not with the trust problem. Some time ago it was announced that he was going to attack the trusts again and that he had introduced bill to that effect. The bill was introduced on Dec ember 9 but it has nothing to do with trusts. Its nature is set forth in the following from the preamble ITO prohibit any person or cor poration, for themselves, or for or in the interest of any other person or corporation directly or indirect ly, from delivering, receiving or transmitting, and from being inter- ested in or aiding in any manner, the receiving, delivering or trans mitring by mail, telegraph, tele- phone, or other means whatever, in any state, district, county, terri tory, or place, over which the sovereignty of the United States now exists, any message, any information, etc., whereby intelli- Gence or information may be con- veyed concerning any transaction oI proposed or supposed transact
 ion, scheme, or plan to speculate or gamble, or gain or lose money called margins, which gains or losses, respectively are made to depend upon the future increase or decrease of the market price of any product of the soil, etc." In other words the bill is aimed as dealing in futures, in the common acceptance of the term in the markets. Its provisions are very drastic. He has given notice that he will speak on the bill in the senate, January 26.

EVIDENCE BEFORE CORONER
Self Defense Indicated Tn ChiSm-
 McDaniel Case.
Testimony of Eye-Witnesses to Killing Given Before Coroner ]. H. Pence
 Saturday.

coroner Ii. Pence this morn- ing filed the report of the inquest held Saturday over the body of Lum McDaniel, who was killed by Alden Chism at Naylor on Christ mas day. The inquest was held at the home of Andy McDaniel, faith CT of the deceased, near Holland.
 The jury was composed of the following: R. G. Campbell, M. E. Council, w. D. Hamilton, J. w. Spillars, J. F. Jenkins, J. J. Joslin, H. w. Brantley, J. l.. Hanna, J. A. Powell, J. w. Bur ton, s. P. Grafton.
 One of the most important wit nesses examined was Justice of the Peace G. M. Cornell, whose testimony follows:
 II am justice of the peace of Newton township. went to Nay Tor about 5 o'clock and I went to Charlie Graham store, and Chism said that there had been a fight here, and I told him that we would have them up for it. About this time Mcdaniel came in swearing and wanted to be weighed and he was swearing all the time. I said to Chism that he would have to arrest Mcdaniel and Chism said that he did not believe he could do it. All of this time Mcdaniel was swearing and threatening to kill somebody. I then told Chism to arrest him and then Chism started over to arrest him. In the mean time Mcdaniel had got hold of a shotgun and was trying to get some shells, and Chism said he would have to have some help. When we went over to Graham S store Mcdaniel was coming off the porch and told Chism to get back or he would cut him into. He had knife in his hand ad- vancing on Chism and Chism stepped back and McDan- iel advanced again with his knife open and then Chism shot him. From what I could tell think there was four or five shots fired. This all happened on the evening of Dec. 25, 1eoS."
 Dr. J. M. Reynolds testified as follows:
 "I examined the dead body of Mcdaniel and found wounds as follows: One wound in the left hand one inch below the wrist; one in the right breast 2H inches above the right nipple and toward the breast bone; one in the left side, about four inches to the left and on line with the navel. The upper wound entered from the back. I was at Grsham's store and I was asked to help arrest McDaniel. Mcdaniel had his knife out and was advancing toward Chism and and Chism told him to be a man and Mcdaniel kept coming on him with his knife open in his right hand and said I will cut you into. Chism backed off and Mcdaniel advanced again and Chism shot him and after he was shot he turned and walked about 100 yards and then fell"
 J. s. Morgan, B. F. Burton and H. Burton, all eye-witnesses, were also examined, their testimony te- ing substantially the same as that of Mir. Cornell and Dr. Reynolds.
 The language of the jury's yer dict was as follows: That the said Lum Mcdaniel came to his death by gunshot wounds in the hands of J: A. Chism, and we find that the killing was justifiable." N E

than Mr. Billtops would in thousand
years and who could beat him at
mending anything seven times around
the globe. ITS always been 30. only
! suess you never happened to notice
1t. And It's just the same at four
o'clock. only you never noticed that.
because you are not home to wind the
clocks at that hour; and you generally
wind them before eight. so you never
noticed that.
Il don't pretend to be q clockmaker,
Ezra" Mrs. Billtops continued, "but I
guess II comes about something like
this:
In q clock that winds with key
you have to have two keyholes,
one for the running part and one for
the striking part; and now these key
holes might have been put in the up
per part of the clock face-by the
two on one side and the ten on the
other-but ! guess the original clock
makers didn't put them there because
the old-time clocks were all big clocks.
and that might have brought them up
too high to be reached conveniently:
30 they put them down in the lower
part of the face where they would be
handler. where you now always find
them-one on one side by the four
and the other on the other side by the
eight
And so, twice day, when the hour
hand Is at four or at eight 1t covers
the keyhole there. and then you have
to wait for 1t to get by before you
can wind the clock. And then, OF
course, you know the minute hand
goes round the clock face every hour,
and so, though In its travels It doesn't
stay there long. It covers each key
hole every hour. So you see, Ezra.
there are really altogether a good
many times In the course OF day
when you can't wind clock. though
there Is really nothing in this to be
surprised over when you once re-
alize It,"
And at the end OF this little dis
course Mr. Billtops looked Up at the
clock that had surprised MIN, and
seeing the hour hand now sufficiently
clear OF the keyhole so that he could
get the key into 1t. he wound the clock
to make sure that he would not for
get that. and then. as he sat down
again, he cast one more admiring
glance at Mrs. Billtops. thinking to
himself as he did SO, before taking up
his paper. that while she might not be
clockmaker she certainly was a most
wonderful woman.

What's the trouble. Ezra?" said

Why. the pointer is right over the

Mrs. Billtops looked UP at Mr.. B.

and glance was sufficient
"Of course 1t is" she said. ITS
eight o'clock and the pointer is al
ways over the keyhole at eight o'clock.
Now, you will have to wait till the
pointer gets past, then you can wind
It,"
And then Mr.. Billtops, who, with all
his years, is In many ways most unso.

per to wait for the hour hand OF the
clock to get past the eight o'clock key
hole 80 that he could wind It. But be-

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

The Brooklyn Athletic club met last evening. Nothing but rou- tine business was transacted.
 The Junior Amateur league will hold a meeting this evening in the rooms of the Brooklyn Athletic club when the standing of several play CTS in the league will be discussed.
 Joseph A. Smith, manager of the Brooklyn Business Mems base ball team, arranged this morning to play the Waterbury Business col lege team at the Golf grounds on Friday afternoon. This is the first game of the season for the Brook lynites, but they are, according to their manager, in good form and are expected ot give very fiattering ac- count of themselves on Friday.
 An entertainment and dance will be given this evening in the new hall on Green street for the benefit of William Shambrinsky ot North Leonard street. For the past two years the man has been unable to work due to an injury received one day while lifting a barrel. The barrel fell on his leg and injured it so badly that Shambrinsky has been treating it on and of ever since.
 Joseph Sirvila of Third street while on his way home one even- ing recently had an argument with a neighbor which ended almost in a little knife play. Sirvila was talk ing a short cut home and while passing a man with bicycle he bumped into him. The man who was pushing the wheel got ruffied and as a result he and Sirvila ex- changed wallops. Sirvila sent in a few stingers that must have felt like pile drivers to his opponent. who drew a knife when he saw that he was being, worsted. But Sirvila took no chances on receiving a knife jab and when he saw the weapon he thought 1t time to move. The o.her man did not follow.
 Ut would seem from the delega- tions that are attending the meet ings of the board of education and the petitions that are being pre- sented to that body that nearly all of Brooklyn wishes Thomas F. De- vine to be retained as principal of the Duggan school. Mir Devine's friends claim that he can refute the charges preferred against him last evening if he is given time. Wheth- CT or moi the board of education will decide to put it's charges in writing is a question. As stated he. fore it looks as though Mir Devine is likely to be dropped notwithstand. ing the large amount of sentiment in his favor. + was rumored in Brooklyn this morning there was likely to be a suit for islander as the outcome of some of the s.ories that have been told the commis- sioners.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
No Money in Sight 10 Pay For
 New Teachers.

Mayor Thoms presided at the meeting of the board of education held last evening in the high school. All the members except Commission CT Monagan were present. At the last meeting it was voted to ask the city attorney his opinion on tie proposition to engage additional teachers for the high school when there is no way in sight of paying them, unless by exceeding the ap- propriations and thereby violating the city charter. The gist of the city attorneys opinion was that the board has no power to engage teach CTS under such circumstances as those stated
 Miss Elizabeth G. Holohan tender ed her resignation and 1t was accent ed Miss Bessie NJ. Gables was granted time off for a year. A large number of applications for appoint. ments in the grades were filed. A telephone message from he Lincoln school informed Commissioner Castle of the committee on schools that part of the rear wall in the yard haG fallen down, in consequence of blast ing operations by adjoiniI g property owners. The matter was referred to committee. There was some talk about the action of Superintendent Tinker and the committee on teach CTS regarding Principal Devine and . resolution adopted by a mass meet ing in the city hall. The fate of that resolution is told elsewhere in tle paper,
 The pay rolls were then approved and the board gave way to the com mittee on teachers.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
VIII Be Given East Main Street
 People and Others To.Nighi.

Property owners on East Main street from the end of the present pavement at Brown street to Wolcott street will be given hearing to- night before the board of public works. Somebody was talking about this to-day and he declared that from what he had heard he thought most of the people will go in the air when the question is put to them.
 There will also be d public hearing in the city hall annex on the appli- cation of the trolley company for ap- proval of its plans to double track portions of South Main and North Main streets. A couple of weeks ago residents of Pearsallvilie represented to reporter os the Democrat that they intended to come in and make some remarks at the hearing with special 'efec .nce to tne North Mein street project. They want the troll ley extended into that distric! and think that 1t would be quite proper for the city government to grant the pe- tition with this as condition.

THE POLICE COURT.
Mother Had Her Boy Before Judgs
 for Incorrigibility.

As Gerald Wheeler. bright eyed boy only II years of age, sat in the police court this morning, no. one could imagine that he was SD incor- rigible that his mother could not control him. But she stated she was unable to do anything with the little fellow. who apparently does not care to go to school. Truant Oficer. Rich ard Deeley also testified that youns Wheeler was truant and declared that on several occasions he mad run lway from school He attended the Croft school when he did not have the runaway fever, but Principal Fitzpatrick had difficult time try ing to keep track of tie youth.
 The mother. thinking the boy would reform by being placed In the Gilbert home, took him there a day or two ago. but ne moald not stay. and the only course left was to have him committed to the state school in Meriden. The little chap when he realized this morning that he was about to be sent away, burst into tears. He was not the only one that was inclined to cry when Judge Bur pee committed Gerald to the state school, as everyone in court could not but admire the looks # the youngster. It is only on rare occa- sions that such clean cut little fel- low is in the court room. and even though the testimony showed that the boz is incorrigible, one to watch the youthful prisoner would think him blessing to any home. Mrs Wheeler has two children besides Gerald.
 James Toole was again in cont this morning charged with n3n-sup- port. As stated in last nights paper Toole's face was a sight. due to q beating administered by his brother in-law. It is only two weeks ago since Toole was In on the same charge. Since then he gave his wife s5 out of the weeks wages he re- ceiyed. The court decided to give Toole another chance and ordered him tU pay his wife s5 a week for the next six months.
 As Mrs Toole was leaving the court room, Captain 3annon said to her:.
 Why don't you wait and take yonr husband hums?"
 ''Oh. he hasn't sny home. she re- piled as she went out the door.
