GEORGE 0. LINES
 DIES IN STAMFORD
He Was Once Owner of Car Line Connecting This City
 With Stratford
Sold to Trolley Syndicate

At an early hour this morning at his residence in Stratford, in the Orono- que district, known as Columbus Farms, George O. Lines died after suf- fering for a. long time from alterations of the stomach. He had been con- fined to his room for the past two or three weeks under the case of Dr. OHara of Bridgeport. MT. Lines was 51 years of age. He is survived by his widow, who was Miss Ellen Mosher, and three children, George O. Lines, Jr., Eleanor Lines and a young boy Henry. MT. Lines had had a long, varied and successful career, and was a we'll known figure in Bridgeport.
 Many years ago he was connected with the Wheeler & Wilson sewing machine establishment. He resided on the east side of the city, and after leaving the Wheeler & Wilson plant opened a livery stable on Noble ave- nue.
 After Henry Beardsley died he bought the horse railway which ran from the foot of Fairfield avenue, through Stratford avenue to St. Mich aePS cemetery. MT. Lines extended the line at his own expense to the cen- ter of stratford He continued to own the road until the syndicate was form ed for it's identification, when he sold his interest to Andrew Radel.
 In 1893 MT. Lines bought out the business of Edwin Peck on Middle street, and the new firm became Peck & Lines. MT. Peck, son of Edwin, is the surviving partner.
 Three years ago MT. Lines, owing to his failing health, wished to withdraw from business and retire to a farm. A corporation was formed of the Peck & Lines business, and MT. Lines be- came a stockholder, but gave up active participation. Since removing to Co., 1unbus Farms he had been busy trans forming it into a model farm, with all up-to-date appliances, and herd of blooded cattle and horses. He estab- lished a milk route in Stratford, and took an active interest in the prosper ity and welfare of the town. His death, while not altogether unexpect- ed, comes as a shock to the commun- itv .

Sketch of the Democratic
 Mayoral Candidate

Edward Taylor Buckingham, Demo- cracy's standard bearer, can truly be called a self made man. He is a splen- did example of this much to be ad- mired quality of manhood, commence | ing his political career eight years ago | practically unknown, he has steadily forged ahead until today he is widely known throughout the state. His suc- cess as the choice of the people of Bridgeport for public preferment is
 marked. From the very first he has grown into the confidence and esteem of the citizens.
 His taste for politics has always been keen. It may be that he. inherited it
 from his celebrated ancestor, William A Buckingham the famous War Gov ernor" whose statue adorns one of the parks in Hartford and from whom MT. Buckingham is a direct descendent. MT. Buckingham has always worked with one object in view, to play the game fairly and squarely and to give the city the very best that is in him. That he has done so in the minds of the public( has been amply demon strated after eight years of service, as city clerk.
 He was born in Metuchen, N. J., in 1874 and came to this city with his parents when three years old. This, and the fact that his forefathers for regard in Bridgeport gives him the
 feeling of having been born as well as bred here.
 His early education was obtained at
 the Grand street school, of which War ren w Porter was principal for many
 years. He graduated from the Bridge
 port High School in 1891. He entered
 Yale, taking the Academic course, practically working his way through college.
 His tuition in Yale was obtained
 through a scholarship which in itself
 is testimonial to his ability and
 quality of his mind, as scholarships go only to the deserving. Besides the four year course, from which he grad uated in 1895, he took two years more ernment and political economy and en- tered Yale Law school from which he subsequently, graduated.
 His greatest enjoyment as a boy came from reading and studying, with no absorbing fondneSS for any recrea- tion other than that obtained in out of door sports, all of which he follow
 ed most enthusiastically especially base ball
 In early life, it seems, MT. Bucking- ham grasped the fact that his ad- vancement in this world meant appli- cation. With that thought ever in mind he made a serious thing of life, even as a student in college.
 The results have more than Justlf1eo the means, and today, he need feel no regret that his youth was not as rose strewn as some of his companions, for a self made mans joy in his success es. when reached by personal worth and tireless energy as were Mr. Bucklng- hams must, in every sense, be soul sat- isfying.
 The metal of his determination to se- cure an education was again shown when he entered Yale law school work ing his way through the school as as sistant lirarian. He graduated with high honors in 1897, and the following year began the practice of law in this city.
 Upon reaching his majority he ac- lively identified himself with the Dem-

MINISTER SUES FOR $25,O ,OOO
 ALLEGING LIBEL
Especial from United Press)

Especial from United Press)
 Norwalk, Oct. 26.-The Norwalk Hour today was served with notice of a $25,000 libel suit brought by Rev. Geo. D. Egbert, the minister reformer, who has gained statewide reputation in his work for reform at the legislature and in liquor cases in Norwalk. MT. Egg bert was one of those interested in the protest against Simeon Pease as coun- tyr commissioner and the protest against Judge Banks as speaker of the House of Representative in the last General Assembly.
 The Hour and Rev. Egbert differed in the last county campaign over re- marks made by the minister concern ing Representative M. R. Bennett, al- leging that the Representative had not kept his word in his executive actions concerning Sunday baseball. There were also other differences of4 opinion between the clergymen and the newspa- per resulting in a claim that the news paper had damaged his reputation and caused him great anxiety of mind to the amount asked.

DUBB-KERNER.

Miss Frances Dubb, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Jacob Dubb of 1464 Seaview avenue, and MT. Morris Kerner of New York. were united in marriage by Rabbi Schiller in New York at Lafay- cite hall. Sunday evening. October 24. A choir of 20 boys assisted in the cere- monies. The bride was given away by Dr. and Mrs. Henry I. Liskowitz, brother-in-law and sister of the bride.

ocratic party. His sterling qualities quickly brought him to the fore and
 ne was rewarded with the nomination as city clerk in 1901. . This was an important honor to con- fer upon one so young, yet it was one that he fearlessly shouldered, carrying il With such success that he was elected
 Two years later, in 1903, he was again, 25a5 majority, the highest ever. polled by city clerk here.
 Again in 1905 he was reelected by a very flattering majority and two years ago his majority was over 2240. Many ! have wondered at his popularity. They have all practically agreed that it is wonderfully winning personality that has done the trick. He accords ev- eryone, be he friend or stranger, like courtesy and accommodation. The instinct of doing for others seems to be part of his make up. He would go out of his way and has done so many hundreds of times, to render help to a stranger and it is this very feature of his makeup which has won for him such a legion of warm supporters. He has probably boiled a greater number of the independent voters of the city than any candidate who has ever gone before them for their suf- frages.
 Several radical reforms in the offices of city clerk have been made during HIS e1SnI years there, especially III the maintenance of public records. The system of typewriting city records, now in vogue in nearly all city offices throughout the state, was introduced here by him.
 His intimate knowledge of every phase of the city government, from top to bottom, has oftentimes been illus trated. His insight into affairs muni- cipal has been shown in various lec- lures upon city government delivered before civic bodies.
 His life from A. to z. is an open book and one well worth reading. He is a man one can be proud to SUD- port. In 1903 he married Miss Bessie R. Budau, only daughter of the late John Budau. They have two sons, Russell and Edward.
 Unfettered by any promise or pledge which might in any way prevent him from serving the city to the best of his ability in the event of his cleo ton. MT. Buckingham will go before the electors of Bridgeport on Nov 2 an absolutely clean, honest and cap able candidate for the suffrases of those who want good, progressive gov ernment.
 A bigger, better Bridgeport is his motto and one we feel sure the citi- zens of Bridgeport will endorse on Nov. 2.
 MT. Buckingham is active in frater- nal circles. He is past master of St Johns lodge, F. & A. M, Past Sachem of Wowompon Tribe. Improved Order of Red Men, member of Bridgeport lodge of Elks, Samuel H. Harris lodge of Odd Fellows, Joseph Dowdall lodge, Knights of Pythias, Naomi lodge, Shepherds of Bethlehem, Triple Link club, Germania and Arion Singing so- cieties and others.
