PUBLIC UTILITIES, AND
 THE COUNTRY TOWNS

The State Business Mems ASSOc1- ation has asked all chairmen of Demo- cratic and Republican town committees to procure the adoption of the following g resolutions by the several town cau- cuses for the choice of delegates to State conventions and for the nomi- nations of candidates for the House, respectively:
 Resolved, That the delegates to the State Convention for nomination of candidates for office on the State Tick ct are hereby requested to endeavor to procure the insertion in the platform of a provision favorirg the creation of a commission with adequate powers for the efficient regulation and super vision of all classes of public service corporations.
 "Resolved, That the party in this town favors the enactment by the next General Assembly of legislation creat- ing a commission with adequate pow CTS for the efficient regulation and supervision of all classes of public ser vice corporations"
 The responses are said to be numer- ous and to indicate a willingness to grant the request. This is very grati- fyi,g to supporters of the public utilt- tics plan. It had been feared that the toc1t-- towns would take but slight interest in the matter. not being so 6t pendent upon public service corpor- Gt:c-s as are the cities. boroughs. vill- 'e~. etc. and as they when united control the General Assembly under the r esent unequal system of represen- ta.ion, danger to the project lurked in their possible indifference. Tn addition it is the policy of the public service corporations to put their subterranean work mostly with the country towns where it is less noticeable and more likely to be successful.
 These towns are still the danger point. despite the encouraging re- sponses from the several town chair men.

 During the second of the several thunder showers which visited Bethel Tuesday morning the barn of Dr. G. D. Wight, was struck by lightning. The bolt struck the gable of the barn and divided, but not before it had penetrated through the cave, gutter and entered thebarn. The fire, was quickly extinguished.
 Tuesday morning, lightning struck a horse barn in Danbury, owned by Mrs. David B. David and occupied by John Geatty. The lightning bolt first struck the barn and tearing near ly all of the shingles off one side of the roof, Jumped to a tree which it partially destroyed and denuded of its bark, continued on to the side of house several yards away and tearing several clapboards off, ended its ca reer in the ground. Guy Beatty was in the barn when the bolt struck it.. He was knocked to his knees and was partially stunned for an instant, but soon recovered. Mrs. Beatrice Pratt, who is employed in the family, was in the kitchen and was rendered unconscious by the shock, but recov- cred within a short time.

Tn Winsted. 1t is reported, most of the advocacy of Lake for Governor comes from men who were affiliated with the anti-Lilley movement of the last campaign. Whether the same condition prevails elsewhere. does not yet appear. Here in Bridgeport. the hne of division between Lake and Goodwin supporters seems to be based rather upon Senatorial preferences than upon the Lilley issue of the last campaign. For time. it seemed that the division was upon the railroad line. but the quite prevalent opinion now is that the railroad doesn't care which of the two men, Goodwin and Lake, captures the nomination

The production of copper is evidently to be restricted, under an agreement reached by the larger producers. Con- sumption not keeping pace with pro duction. is the reason given. and it is proposed to reduce production to the market demand. Of course. this will advance prices. or rather. will serve as pretext for increases. Copper is in such increased. and still increasing, use. particularly in electrical indus tries, that the announcement of the necessity of reducing the output comes as surprise. and many will regard it as merely a move by a combination to increases the profits of the producers. It may be recalled that the Guggen- helms are among the largest producers. and that they and the great Morgan interest are not far apart

In the N. Y. Harold, ''Trumbull'' states that ''the, Bulkeley canvass is weaker than at the start by just so much as the con- fession counts which is embedded in his public advertisements. That ad- vertisement was practically an admis- sion that there is a contest, and that his candidacy is not strong enough to withstand even such a comparatively mild attack as was embodied in the original story of the tariff duty on stiff hats. A later illustration of Bulkeley weakness is the evident at- tempt to take Collector Eaton from the Mclean column by alleging that he owes his office to the two Senators.

James R. Garfield. ranked as leader of the Ohio Progressive Republicans, declares that they will continue to fight against the domination of spe- cial interests in politics." He con- siders it a movement ''to preserve self government and political liberty.' It would be difficult to more concisely state the Progressive policy. Of the grave necessity of effecting these pur- poses, who that has observed the ac- tion of the regulars in Congress, can doubt? Every point scored. for the people has been secured only by the determined fight made for it by Demo- crats and Progressives.

No more unsatisfactory or more costly method could be adopted than that now apparently in effect. viz. to postpone repairs until virtual recon struction becomes necessary.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. 5uly 2O.-The cotton
market opened steady at unchanged
prices to an advance of 3 points as q
result of covering. owing to better
cables than due, and prices improved
another 2 OF 3 points during the early
trading. The weather map showed rain
at Galveston with clear conditions
quite general in the Eastern belt. and
shortly after the opening there was a
renewal of liquidation and bear pres
sure under which prices eased off to a
net loss of about 205 points.
The bulls continued to give the nea
months support during the late fore
noon. but following the Eastern belt
forecast for generally fair weather to-
day and tomorrow the new crop sold
off to a net loss of about = to 10 points
under local pear pressure and con
tinued liquidation. Shorts seemed will
ing to take profits around 12.s7 for Oc-
tober, however, and prices at friday
were 4 to 5 points up from the lowest
on the later positions.

u. S. AMBASSADORS PORTER
ALLOWS SUIT, AvERTS WAR.

WASHINGTON. July 20.-whiie ii
has long been understood that inter-
national custom guarantees an am
bassador against arrest. a case which
involved the immunity of servants OF
his household developed at the Amer
lean embassy In Berlin not long ago.
II ended by the ambassador being in
structed to preserve the immunity OF
the embassy and to see the services of
papers upon the servant took place
outside its precincts.
A porter at the embassy answered
the ring of a tax collector who did not
know he was at the embassy. The
porter chided the official for his ignor-
ance In seeking taxes at the home OF
a diplomat. The argument developed
was not without heat, and resulted in
the tax collectors seeking the arrest
of the porter for personal insult. The
German foreign Office then asked OF
the ambassador to serve the porter.
The two governments attempted to
effect a compromise. the German
foreign Office suggesting hat the tax
collector would receive an apology,
and the American ambassador suggest
ing his porter would make one.
The whole business was finally closed
up when the porter went outside the
embassy grounds and accepted service.

SAVES MANS LIFE BY
SEWING WOUNDED HEART,
Five Stitches Taken in Negroes
Organ by Philadelphia Doctor.

PHILADELPHIA, July 20.-Holding
the beating heart of a living man in
his left hand while with his right he
sewed up a wound made in tina organ
by a knife, DR.. Francis t. Stewart,
chief visiting physician at the Penn
sylvania Hospital. probably saved the
life of Joseph Spence, a negro.
Spence was stabbed supposedly dur
ing a quarrel which occurred among
colored boarders who live in a lodging
house on South Tenth street. The po-
lice were called to his address and
finding Spence in a serious condition
had him taken to the hospital.
DR.. Stewart was at once sent for and
he lost no time in having the man
etherized in preparation for the opera
ton. A semi-eircular incision was made
in the left side just above the heart,
and the muscles pushed back. exposing
the ribs, two of which were severed and
the lungs moved slightly to one side.
Five stitches were rapidly made be-
tween heart beats, and the slightest
slip would have meant instant death.
Thirty minutes were all that were re-
quired to complete the operation. and
the patient was sent back to the ward
with a good chance of recovery.
The operation was the second of It's
kind performed by Or. Stewart within
the period of a month. Although the
patient Is still at the hospital he is
able to stand on his feet and entire re-
covery Is only & question OF time.

FATHERS LETTER MAY SEND
HIS BOY TO THE GALLOWS.
Youth Gives His Age as IA to Es-
cape Hanging, but Is Older.

GEORGETOWN, Del, July co.
Claiming that he Is but IA years old
in the hopes that a lenient court may
not sentence him to the hangman's
moose. county officials have received
proof that Henry Williams. who killed
a little white boy, John Rogers. was
not telling the truth about his g and
that he is nearer 20 years old.
The proof came In q letter directed to
the sheriff from Thomas l.. Brown, of
Kansas City. who wrote to know IL the
accused murderer was his son. In the
letter he described Williams, ending
by giving as an Identification mark the
fact that the little finger of one hand
was cut off. The letter said hat the
boy had run away from home four
years ago and had not been seen since,
although umo had reached the elder
Brown that the boy was working on a
farm in Delaware.
Williams was confronted with the
letter and confessed that his right
name was Brown and that the writer
of the letter was his father.
h letter shows conclusively that the
boy is much older han he has been
telling. as he was about IA when he
raj away. His build and muscles fully
show that he is almost a grown man,
although his stature is slight. Boys OF
a tender age are not usually hanged
In Delaware and for hat reason Brown
has been putting his age at IA years

largely controlled the actions of wheat
spectators today. A sharp rise in

kets formed an array that frightened

WHITEHEAD TAKES PLACE
OF SNAPPER IN SUMMIT.
Stirred by Electricians
Recent Disappearance.

SUMMIT. July 20.-When Council last
night dropped Walter Snapper, city
electrician, and named William White
head in his stead its action added to
the rumors which have been going the
rounds for more than a week, and
which, 1t is said. had reached the ears
of some of the Councilmen. Snapper
was dismissed on the technical grounds
of continued absence from the city,
Back of all this. 1t is said, is a story
which has not been made public, and.
according to rumor. a mi is said
to figure in IL This woman is said to
be missing from Summit.
Snapper left Summit two weeks ago
and has not since been heard from.
Even his closest friends, 1t is said,
ave no idea as to his whereabouts.
He had beer In the employ of the city
several years, besides being in business
for himself. He was also second as
sistant chief of the fire department,
which position Is now being filed by
Timothy J. Scott, who was named
shortly after Snapper disappeared.
In Council Shapper's case was not
discussed. A resolution was intro
duced that he be deposed. It was
passed unanimously and without COM
ment. Whitehead, who succeeds him,
is appointed for n year at a salary
of $40 a month. Snapper received a
larger salary. His chief duties were
to keep the fire alarm system in re-
pair.
A lengthy protest against exhibiting
the Jeffries johnson fight pictures was
received. Councilman MacCutcheon
said that he found, nnder a city or
dinance, that the Mayor was invested
with power to pass upon such matters.
The protest was referred to the Mayor.
