CITY NEWS.

A fire in the residence of George V. Gooding on State street late Sat- urday afternoon damaged the place to the amount of s200.
 Miss Selma Veil of New Haven wandered into the house of George L.. White al 1I4 GoTve street a few evenings ago and she appeared in such mental condition that she was taken 10 Lang's sanitarium nearby. Miss Well is a daughter of a well known man of New Haven. Samuel Veil of Lyon street. She wandered into Mir Whites house while the fam fly was assembled in the parlor and an officer was sent for. The sight of the officer seemed to affect the girls mind considerably and a physician was sent for. Dr ". L. Barber re- sponded and he recommended that the girl be sent to the sanftariuu for the night She was considerably i'm proved in the morning and at times vas quite rational. and said her home Eas in New Haven She left for that city and judging from reports from there she must have told her father that she was in PhiisdeIphia.

THEY WANT CHASE
Some People Think Waterbury Man Would be Winner on
 Stale Tickef.

The information published in the Democrat that Isadore Chase was be- ing discussed by democratic politi- clans all over the state as a first class man for the nomination for lieuten- ant governor, was read with delight by local democratic politicians and the people in general Everyone seemed to agree that better choice could not be made. One office holder sized up the suggested situation in this manner:
 Though there is a good deal of opposition to George L. Lilley for the head of the republican ticket, the probability is that he will be the nominee for governor just the same. Assuming then that he will be the nominee for governor, what better selection could the democrats make than MT Chase for lieutenant gov- ernor? The selection of MT Chase for that office would have two very strong effects, MT Lilley is not pop ular man in his own town. Hundreds of his own party will not vote for him this time for reasons that need not be mentioned now. It is certain that he Is not as popular as MT Chase is. Therefore with both running for state offices it is safe betting that MT Chase would take Waterbury from MT Lilley, and cost the republican party this city.
 The other effect would be appar- ent in New Haven. MT Chase is a son-in-law of Mir Zunder who lived all his life in New Haven and up to the time of his death some years ago, was, it might be said, the most popu- lar man in that city. He was identi- fled with the public schools for about quarter of a century and one school is named after him. His influence is still felt in the Elm city, his daugh- ter, MT Chase's wife, is still remem- bered there by all of her fathers old friends, and that with other matters which need not be gone into now, would be the means of cutting a wide swath in the republican vote on cleo tion day, if it would not overturn it I don't think it would be saying too much to state that MT Chase would stand good chance of winning out in New Haven. So with won from the republicans and perhaps New Haven also, think the republicans would have some thing to think over with consider able grief on the night of the cleo tion. With fair distribution of the offices on the state ticket and with MT Chase running for lieuten- ant governor the democrats would win the election"
 Inquiry at Mir Chase's store show ed that he is at his summer cottage in Woodmont.

ANOTHER CLASH
Long Island Villagers Wanted 10 Lynch Two Negroes Who Al.
 lacked a White Woman.
SHERIFFS DREW GUNS

New York, Aug 1.-The little Long Island village of Huntington narrowly escaped being the scene of lynching this morning. Late yes- terday afternoon white woman, Mrs Louise Servasini, the wife of a wait CT, was attacked by two negroes and seriously injured. The news did not get abroad until after midnight and at length a mob formed and proceed ed to the local lookup prepared with clubs, axes and railroad ties to bat ter down the doors of the jail if nec- essary to get the only one of the two alleged offenders who had been cap tured.
 The mob numbered thirty-five men. Refused admittance by the two dep uty sheriffs, they proceeded to break their way in. The deputies warned them to desist but were answered with curses. Threats to shoot had as little effect and the outer door was beaten down. The axes, however, were of no avail against the inner door. While the mob was attacking 1t the sheriffs jumped in front of the leaders and drew their revolvers on them.
 Strike another blow" shouted one of the officers, and we shoot
 The sight of the weapons over- came the gang that had rushed into the prison corridor on the falling in of the outer door of the jail and they broke and ran. The mob became de- moralized and lacking leader they were easily driven away by the off cers. All through the remaining hours of the morning a strong guard was kept up within the jail and at daybreak the covering negro was rushed to the nearby village of River head, which is provided with al stronger jail.
 Mrs Servasini was found by her four-year-old daughter about 5 o'clock last night lying in a dazed condition beside path about mile from the hotel in which her husband is employed. She gave the alarm to two men who presently came along and the unconscious woman was talk en to the hotel.
 The negro was arraigned in Hunt ington, l.. l., and charged with criminal assault. He was held for the grand jury and was taken back to jail. There was no further at- tempt to molest him.

CLEAVE A DODGER
Makes Reply 10 Bryan But Avoids ihe Issue That He
 at First Raised.

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb, Aug IT, When his attention to-day was called to the statement of James Van Cleaye, president of the Manufactur- CTS association, printed this morn ing, in which MT Van Cleave, for the second time within two months sets forth reasons why the business men of the country should not vote for the democrats. MT Bryan said: "Mr Van Cleave issued statement ap- pealing to the business men to de- feat the democrats on account of the labor plank. I replied to his appeal. Instead of defending what he said before, he now attempts to shift the discussion to other questions. It will not be necessary now to make a reply. I shall discuss the question on which he lays special emphasis, the tariff question, at Des Moines, and the guarantee bank deposits at Topeka"

BURGLARS GOT AWAY.
Had Bags of Booty Which They Were Compelled to Leave Behind.

Ridgefield, Aug 17.-An attempt to rob the summer home of Mrs John Ward here was frustrated yesterday. While the caretaker, M. T. McGliGn, was making his rounds he found the cellar door unlocked and two large sacks containing articles of various sorts from about the house placed in the cellar conveniently near the door. He notified the authorities and 6 deputy sheriff and constable went to the house. After emptying the bags and refilling them with stones the officers waited in the cellar until evening. When it became dark two men entered the cellar and one or them striking a match, discovered the officers. The latter commanded them to halt and throw up their hands, but the robbers turned aud ran although pursued by the officers and escaped. The value of the goods found in the bags was said to be be- tween $500 and s400.

stand to be charged with murder by the special grand jury which the states attorney is to request to-mor- row.
 A careful estimate placed the num- Der of negroes who have left Spring. field since the beginning of the race war at 2,000. Of this number near ly three-fourths have gone out of the county on railroads and interur- ban lines. The rest have gone by wagon and on foot and are located ia the rural districts.
 The great mass of the scurrying blacks are still within the state. Some have gone to Missouri, Ken lucky, Indiana and a few to the south. Some are known to have gone as far past the Mason and Dixon line as Louisiana. There are still many negroes left in Springfield. hut most of these are planning to go at the first opportunity.

TO BOOM CAMPAIGN
Democrats Will Get Busy al Once- Meeting 10 be Held in
 New Raven "Wednesday.

New Haven, Aug. 17.-A meeting of the democratic state central com mittee has been called for Wednesday afternoon at the Tontine in this city, to take up a number of campaign plans. The members of the com mittee say that it is their intention to go ahead with an aggressive cam paign without waiting for any moves by the republicans, the latter in their belief being fully occupied with their own troubles and have no time to pay much attention to the denSocratic situation. At Wednesdays meeting the gubernatorial outlook will be well discussed, it is expected, and the presence in this city at the time of Former Governor Waller of New Lon don may lead the committee to call upon him. Governor Waller in this city Saturday night stated that under no conditions whatsoever would he allow his name to be considered as a candidate for the nomination of governor.
 Any discussion of a gubernatorial candidate on Wednesday, it is thought, will be without reference to Governor Waller. Some discus sion of names for the party nominee for congressman-at-large is looked for and among members George M. Gum of Milford is spoken of al- though he is yet considered a pos sibility for the gubernatorial nomi- nee. The names of Mayor Thoms Of Waterbury and Joseph P. Futile of Hartford have been added to the list of names being canvassed by democrats as the possible recipients of honor by the coming state conven- tion.

LUCK OF DRUNKEN MAN,
Fell in Front of Subway Express Train and Lives to Tell the Story.

New York, Aug 17.-Martin Can't well, who said that he lived at 153 Nevins street, Brooklyn, was walk ing in circles when he started home from tour about Harlem yester- day. He managed to find the sub- way station at 18th street and Lem OK avenue and attracted attention while there. To make sure that he would catch an express train he walked close to the edge of the platform and just as the red and green lights came in view fell on the track. Half a dozen women standing near screamed and the motorman put on brakes so sudden ly that the passengers In the coaches were almost thrown from their seats.
 Expecting 10 find mangled corpse, the trainmen fshed in be- tween the train and the platform and brought up Cantwell. He had had the usual luck of man in his best humor, and the only sign of his near death call was well oiled summer suit and small scratch on his forehead. A policeman took him to the West 125th street station house, and when he got there and saw that 1t wasn't hospital or even a saloon he was so angry tha, he tried his best to clean it up. He was much more severely injured then than he was in the subway,
