 West port, July. 11-Joseph Riaski goes to the jail in Bridge port for another session. Jus tice Joseph Morton found him guilty yesterday Of the theft Of chickens from Horace Wakeman He was fined $7 and costs.

 This is not a fish story, even though monster fish that lay in the river at the State street bridge for the past few days? Your correspondent, not being an aquatic expert and very little versed in things nautical, left it for those who saw the fish to give it a regular name There were many who thought 1t was a sturgeon, others ven tured the opinion that it was 8 dog fish, while others considered that it was a shark. One expert went SO far as to state that the fish was a dog cared shark How the big fellow, he was about seven feet long, got up so far and into these waters is one of the mysteries which waters will not tell He wouldn't come up the riv- CT alive-What regular fish would take 8 chance in flashing up the Saugatuck? 1?

 '"The Confederate veterans held their reunion at Chattanooga last spring and we old fellows of the North fe1 that no more appropriate selection could have been made for our reunion this fall, and the only regret that we have is that we could not have met our former foes, now our friends, in joint convention and smoked the pipe of peace on the ground where fifty years ago we smoked a plenty, but there were bullets ahead of the smoke.
 Certainly Chickamauga and Mis- sionary ridge cost enough lives on both sides to make those fields historic and sacred to both the north and south. You know the c.

 Capt. Beers has made number of trips to Chattanooga on the business of the encampment, and upon each trip he expressed himself in the most enthusiastic terms concerning the out look and the preparations for the Sep tember meeting.

LOSES COVETED
POSITION
Martin of Virginia to Head
Appropriations Committee
"PITcHFoRK" WILL FIGHT
May Attempt to Overthrow "Steer.
ing" Committee at Meeting of
Democratic Caucus.

Washington, March Ex-senator
BENJAMIN r. Tillman of South Caro-
lima yesterday lost his long and hard
fight for the craftsmanship OF the pow
erful Senate committee on appropria-
tons. The democratic committee
lists, completed last night by the
steering" committee, headed by Sen
ator Kern, accords the appropriations
Craftsmanship to Senator Martin OF
Virginia and places Senator Tillman
at the head of the committee on nav
al affairs.
The decision of the committee Eill
not be accepted by Senator Tillman,
it is understood. A democratic eau
Gus was called for 1880 o'clock this
morning, when the committee lists
were to be presented to the full DEM
ocratic membership of the Senate. 1t
has been expected that Senator Till
man, counting upon the support of
four or five members of the steering"
committee, would lead fight in the
caucus to overthrow the committees
decision. The chief reason for sup
planting Senator Tillman, who head
ed the list of democrats on the appro-
priations committee, is understood to
have been the belief that his health
would not enable him to undertake
the severe tasks attaching TO the po-
sition.
Radical changes in the method of
controlling Senate legislation and
committees, which formed the basis
for the so called progressive democra
tic reorganization fight. begun last
December, we're approved by the
democratic managers and will be Of
fered for adoption by the caucus to-
day.
These recommendations are: All
committee chairmen shall be elected
by the democratic members of the
committees, instead of the present
practice whereby the steering" COM
mittee appoints all chairmeh; a ma
jority of the democratic members of
any committee may call meeting of
that committee at any time; mem
Der of the conference" committees
shall be selected by the democratic
majority of the committee having
charge of the legislation in question;
steering" committee members shall
be selected by a democratic caucus,
instead of through appointment by
the caucus chairman; appointments
by the steering committee, to I'LL
vacancies on all Senate committees,
must be passed on by the full caucus.

Edward Ranney Fires at Barn and
Hits Charles Clark.

Brattleboro, March 14.-Charles

accidently shot this morning in the
right hip by Edward Ranney. who
fired at window in his barn with
A calibre revolver without knowing
that his friend, Clark, had come to
see him and was caring for his team
in Ranneys barn. Clark was suff-
ering from violent pain when found,
about Is minutes later, by his friend
Rauney and William Fisher. The
bullet passed through the side of the
800 - i-~-' - right hip of
Clark. The victim of the accident
was taken to the Memorial hospital
from Ranney's home about two miles
above West Brattleboro and an oper
alton was performed this afternoon
to find the bullet. The doctors prob
ed the wound but failed to locate the
bullet They found that it had
struck the thigh bone and whether it
had been detected in the abdominal
cavity will be determined by X-ray
photographs which were taken Fri
day night.
