BARNUM FOR CONGRESS
Hartford Writer Sees "Bettsr Things"
 Ahead tor Senator

Hartford Writer Sees "Bettsr Things"
 Ahead for Senator
 The Hartford correspondent of the New Haven Sunday Union has this to say regarding matters that will interest the people of this, the newly created Fifth congressional district.
 "There seems to be no doubt that Sen. ator Charles W. Barnum of the Thirty first district has decided to run for congress in the new Fifth district.
 This is the only district under the re- distrloting law that is considered by Republicans absolutely certain to elect a Republican next year. The Democrats do not concede that the district is so solidly Republican as some Republicans effect to believe and their opinion is shared by some who intend to vote for the Republican candidate. It is the leaders of the Republican party in the district, like J. Henry Roraback, who believe, beyond a shadow of doubt that the district is Republican. Other prom inent Republicans think the district is morally certain to go Republican. There is a great deal of dependence on Litchfeld county which will form a part of the district that it will be true to the Republican party. But there is a dependence which may fail the Republi- cans. -.
 "Litchfield county has Democratic traditions and these traditions when conditions are normal, are apt to be revived and produce results which will be very gratifying to the Democrats and correspondingly uncomfortable for the Republicans. There are names to con. jure with in Litchfield county which are still closely associated with Dem- ocratic politics. To be sure there are junior members of Democratic families who have forsaken the political faith of their fathers and are worshipping at the shrines that had no attraction for their ancestors. er..
 Take the distinguished Woodruff family for instance. The venerable George M. Woodruff, who has served the state so we'll as & member of the railroad commission for long number of years, continues true to the Demo cratic traditions of hls honored family. His son, James P. Woodruff, who has had very creditable career as a mem Der of the house of representatives and who is now valuable member of the state police commission, has inherited the Democracy of his family and is proud of his inheritance. He offers no apology for being Democrat. But the other son, the genial George O. Wood. ruff, has gone over to the Republicans aud there are no indications that he contemplates an immediate return to the household of his ancestors political faith. But his political apostacy has not robbed his delightful personality of 8 single charm. He continues to be a prime favorite with every one"

our batteries had driven the Johnries back out of sight, and things were more quiet.
 The 20th we got up early, got our breakfast and lay quiet till about noon, then we were moved down to the river, which we forded over the same grounds as when Hunters men were driven into the river. The carrent was rather swift. and made it Gttie difficult to cross. We marched out onto dry land and over the hill where we came to Confederate hospital pretty we'll filled with their wounded. We marched on, about four miles. We had hard thunder shower (and no umbrellas.j It was hot weather, so that it was good bath without the trouble of disrobing.
 We halted in a piece of woods near Berry vile and lay down for the night, wet as we were. At II o'clock this p. m. we were routed out and started back over the route we had come. We forded the Shenandoah river some after mid night, then up the mountain, through Snicker's Gap, on down the east side of the mountain. and stopped near the will lage of Hamilton, about g o'clock a, m. July 21st. We cooked coffee and ate our breakfast, then started on our march for Washington.
 Why this forced march back to the Capital, we knew not Rumor said that Early had succeeded in drawing this army away into the Shenandoah Valley, and that he was going to take short cut to join Lee and with their combined forces attack Grant before our force could get back to assist Grant. We passed through Leesburgh, and here we turned to the right instead of going 'via Edwards Ferry, as when we went out. We continued our march four miles across Goose Greek and halted for the night, having marched continuously 30

little, but the Johnnies came over the hill in their front. The river was quite deep, save only at this ford, and at the ford the water was about four feet deep. Consequently the force had taken posi-. tion on the other side of this river, knowing that behind them the river was impossible except at the ford and you know that rebel force of twice their numbers coming down on them and an impossible river behind them, did not stampeded into the river and many were drowned /; some threw away everything that impeded their progress and at tempted to swim, and they were fired on, so that it appeared as though it was death anyway.
 Our boys came down the hill to the river on the east side which put halt to MT. Rebeldom's advances, and they retreated back over the hill, but they had battery placed so that it was anything but pleasant for us to sleep on; for we had gone into camp in ravine 8 little back from the river, and you will remember that we were hungry.
 remember that I dug meat of a beef's head that had been butchered that day. We lay down for the night but the shells were screeching over us and into our ranks, so that there was not much sleep We had a battery of four guns on bluff close by, that disturbed the Johnnies some. This is the night of July IS, '64 We were practically out of rations, but the teams came up with rations so that we were supplied.

funeral, on Tuesday, Rev. Edward F. Parker said MT. Gillette was called to the great work of his life by Divine Providence, in a remarkable manner. On one occasion a poor woman whom he had helped and comforted said to him, Somehow 1t seems to me You must have known trouble yourself It was so. He was quite 10 years of age, when, almost overwhelmed with fail ures and discouragements in the course of life he had attempted, Gods provi- dence opened little door of opportunity for him, into a new field of labor. It was we'll for him, and for us, and for our whole city that God did not permit Mir. Gillette any success in those earlier endeavors and plans He had greater and better things in store for him. Out of his first failures he came to his own true business, almost immediately then he found himself aright, and proceeded from strength to strength. All who were acquainted with Mir. Gillette and with the details of his work. were aware of something most peculiar and remark able in him by which he gained access to and power over the hearts and minds of great variety of men and women."
 Rev. Dr. Rockwell Harmon Potter. of Center Church, learned of Mir. Gillette's death as he was entering hIs own church Sunday morning, and made this beautiful and just allusion to the departed
 "I have learned since coming to the meetinghonse, of the death, this morn ing, of Henry J. Gillette, city mission ary in the service of our Congregational churches for many years. He had been devoted servant of Christ and is entered now upon the free and glad service of tho life that is blessed beyond the veil. Many men have made fortunes in Hartford in these past years this man has made his name blessed by giving all that he had and all that he was into the service of the poor, the sick, the neglected, the for. lorn, the despairing. Not tenement of the poor but knew his gracious presence, not hospital ward but waited eagerly, for his cheery coming, not a prison cell but heard his word of faith and hope. lie has comforted the mourning, consoled the aged, warned the youth and fought with the tempted. His has been constant and unfailing ministry of the evaugel of Jesus. Ae has rebuked those of us who are in the ministry of the pulpit by his untiriuR fidelity and devotion and oheered and heartened us by his sunlit faith and holy enthusiasm. He endured all things because he believed all things. and his faith had it's springs in Christlike love. We give thanks today for this life lived out to the full among us God has blessed our city through him. We commend his sorrow ing family to the abundant cancellations of his God and ours.'

Improvement Slow, But Steady, Ac-
 cording to Experts.
 From all quarters comes the question : " When is business going to be better " The only sane answer to this query is that it is going to be quite some time before any material change can be ex' pected, says Commercial Record. At the same time it is wrong to get the inn pression that business is poor. To be sure it is not on the boom, but the volume of business is steadily increasing and all transactions are on a basis at present which 'precludes almost entirely the idea that conditions can change for the worse. They must change for the better, but the advance is going to be slow and very conservative.
 The qulet times are attributed to all sorts of political and financial condi- tions, but as 8 matter of fact the one fundamental cause of the present quietness in business and finance is that for a long time business and finance went too far and too fast, and the necessary readJustment is going to take time.
 The markets of this country have been little affected by the latest war developments abroad and are not likely to be except through the fact that a settlement of the trouble will have a tendency to revive Europeanslnvest- ment i'll American securities.

REWARD FOR CAPTURE
 OF BRIDGE DYNAMITERS
S5,OOO For Apprehension of Men Who Tried to XIII Taft

E. E Calvin, vice president and general manager of the Southern Pa cic, has offered $5,000 reward at Santa Barbara. Cal, for information lead ing to the arrest of the man or men who attempted to blow up a rail way bridge over which President Taft's special train was soon to pass on its way to Los Angeles.
 The sheriffs of several counties, with scores of men in automobiles and on horseback, are combing the rough country north of here in a man hunt for the two dynamiters.
 The theory most generally held here is that striking Southern Pacific shop men or their sympathizers desired to blow up the bridge in order to dis credit the railroad, which has boasted in advertisements that its trains were running on time in spite of the strike. The Cairton viaduct is twenty miles north of Santa Barbara, between the villages of Gaviota and Fl Capitan. 1t Is massive structure of steel, com pleted three years ago, and carries the railroad over a valley and a dried up stream.
 Abe Jenkins, the watchman, discov- cred the men at work. Knowing that the special train bearing the president, 1 his secretary, aids and bodyguard and two dozen newspaper correspondents was soon to pass the viaduct, he ran to telephone and got the railroad men at Sandbar out of bed. They notified Sheriff J. F. Wines of Santa Barbara county.
 Not many minutes later the pilot train preceding the Taft special came i into sight and roared across the bridge in safety. The presidents train fol- lowed without mishap.
 Sheriff Wines directed a thorough search of the bridge as soon as the presidential special had passed. On the central span of the bridge were found many sticks of dynamite and a ! long fuse.
 Sheriff Wines has two clews to work upon. Foreman Brown told of seeing l two strangers, who acted suspiciously. he thought, leave a late train at Ma pies. Cal, a small town a few miles north of Fl Capitan. the night before l the attempted dynamiting
