Hartfokd, Oot. 6. Town elootloni
were held all over the elate yesterday, ex
cepting Hartford. Now Haven, Hrldgnport,
... Ausonia, Derby nnd Nnugntnck, and the
reunite show a dual (led gain In Hepubllono
strength and may be accepted a an Index
to the greater polltloal battle whloh will
he waged at the polls four weeks from to
dny. The extreme satisfaction with the
result expressed hy Lieutenant Governor
Cooke, the Hnpuhllnan gubernatorial nom
lnoe, found a reiteration at the headqnnr
tors of the state central committee, whore
it was estimated that McKluley and Ho
bnrt would get upward of 80,000 majority
at the state election. Though yesterday's
elections, however, presented ninny local
issues, whloh complicates the efTorts to ar
rive at an Intelligent understanding of,
the leading party's strength, it was a sig
nificant flint that In the few towns that
hnd both gold and silver Demooratlo tick
ets In the Held the gold men were greatly
In the majority. The weather conditions
were decidedly unfavorable for a large
vote, but the loaders of both partlos real
ized that upon the result of the eloctlons
an estimate of the Hnpuhllnan majority
In Connecticut In November would be
' formed, and an effort was made In almost
every town to get out the fullest possible
vote.
In several towns, notably Windham, the
school and liquor questions were Injeoted
into the campaign, oauslng a split, but
the bonds of the tlokots were voted for on
straight party lines, and a Republican
gain is reported In every oase.
Bryan Takes Populist Nomination.
Washington, Oot. 7. William J.
Bryan's formal letter, accepting the presi
dential nomination tendered him by the
People's Party, has been reoelved at the
headquarters In this city. After express
ing his appreciation of the honor confer
red, Mr. Hryan says:
In a time like this, when a great poll
ioal party Is attempting to surrender tl
right to legislate for our vlows ujpon the
financial question and Is seeking to bind
the American people to n foreign mone
tary system, It behooves us as lovers of
our country and friends of Amerloan in-
titutlons to lay aside for the present sua
Arenoos as may exist among us on ml-
nulAquestlous In order that our strength
may be united In a supreme effort to wrn
the government from the hands of tha
who Imagine that the nation's finance,
are only seonre when controlled by a few
financiers and that natlgnal honor oan
only be maintained by servile aoquleeoenoe
In any policy, however destructive to the
interests of the people of the United
tstates, which foreign creditors, present or
prospective, may dostre to force upon us.
It Is a cause for congratulation that we
bava In this campaign not only the sup
port of Democrats, Populists and Repub
licans who have all along believed In In
dependent bimetallism, but also theaotlve
oo-operntlon of those Democrats and Re
publicans who, having heretofore waited
for international bimetallism, now Join
with us rathe than trust the destiny of
the nation to those who are holding out
the delusive hope of foreign aid while they
labor socrutly for the permanent establish
ment of the single gold standard.
While difficulties always arise In the
settlement of the details of any plan of co
operation between dlstlnot polltloal organ
izations, I am sure that the advocates of
bimetallism are so intensely In earnest
that they will be able to devise soma
means by whloh the free silver vote may
be concentrated upon one electoral ticket
In each state. To secure this result, chari
ty toward the opinions of others and lib
erality on the part of, all Is neoessary, but
honest and sincere friends who are work
ing toward a common result always And
It possible to agree upon Just and equita
ble terms. The Amerloan people have
proved equal to every emergenoy which
has arisen In the past, and I am confident
that in tha present emergenoy there will
be no antagonism between the various
regiments of the one great array which la
tnaruhlug to repel an Invasion more dan
gerous to our welfare than an army with

Hryan at Indianapolis.
InniAltAPot.is, Oot 7. The reception
accorded William J. Bryan on his arrival
In Indianapolis was nearly as great as any
he has received during his entire trip. He
mode speenhes here, and "at each meeting
he addressed Immense audiences, one of
whloh was nearly as large as that address
ed hy him on Boston Common, the largest
of the campaign. The Hryan party was
received with great enthusiasm from
many thousands gathered about the sta
tion ti non its arrival hers. He was taken
Immediately to the Grand hotel and the
parade from the depot to the hotel, was a
continuous ovation to the candidate. The
Cleveland club. In Prince Albert coats
and silk hatsj the Indianapolis Republican
Hilver club and the Gray club acted as es
oorts. nnd the parade passed through
streets lined with people, the prlnolpnl
thoroughfares being so orowded that the
sidewalks were roped off In order to keep
the crowds from pressing npon the oar
rlnges. Mr. Bryan addressed tha largest
orowd at the stnteho-.ise. Every Inoh of
available standing and olimbing room
was taken. The park In front of the State
house wns pneked with bnmnnlty, the
streets on either side were orowded, and
people were gathered In the windows of
the buildings aoross the street In order to
see the candidate, even If they could not
hear him. Probably less than one-fourth
of the audience heard hlsspeenb, but those
who were able to get within the sound of
his volne were enthnslastlo to a great de
gree. It would be an Impossibility to es
timate the crowd, so great It was. He
made a half hour speech. After the nomi
nee had concluded his remarks at the
ttatohouse he wns taken to Tomllnson
hall, where he spoke to as many people as
could be packed Into and In front of the
balcony where he stood. This meeting
was also enthuslastlo, and often during
his speech he was stopped by the demon-,
stratlons of approval. Later he spoke to
three more audiences, one to the Commer
cial Travelers' association In the Grand
hotel, one from a platform outside the
courthouse and one In Tomllnson hall.
The speeoh Inside the hall was to the la
boring men of Indianapolis, and his re
marks wore applauded to the echo.

gia today. There are two full tickets In
the field, the Democratic being led by W.
Y. Atkinson, the present govornor, while

the fusion of the Prohibitionists and Pop
ulists. On the Populist part of the fusion
there Is no such Interest as that whloh
characterized the last struggle two years
ago The Populists do not regard Wright,
the fusion candidate, as the slmon pure
article. The Prohibitionists are much en
thused, as this Is the only time they have
ever been given promlnonoe. Demooratlo
leaders are confident that they will get
ISO, (K)0 majority. The (unionists are very
Indefinite about their claims. A. E. Buok,
the Republican leader, has Issued a mani

opposition to fusion where the same is
generally believed to be of advantage to
the Immediate success of financial reform,
to whloh you have so far so gladly con
tributed. There Is no earthly ohanoe of
your election. If our cause wins In this
race, Bryan and Bewail are elected. Al
low me to emphasise that your stay on
the ticket Jeopardises the auooess of our
cause and that a withdrawal on your part
would be heralded with patrlotlo delight
by many of your party friends and largely
by those who esteem you as a great and
good man."

rector of the t'sthollo Vnlvcrnlty of Amer-
lna, mnken the following statement con
cerning his withdrawal from the head of
that Institution:
Rlnna my withdrawal from the rector
ship of the Catholic t'nlvnrslty of America
will probably be regnrded hy a considera
ble portion of the American public as a
matter of some Interest to them and since
unauthorized statements are apt to be
misleading, I deem it my duty to state
briefly and clearly tho facte of the ease:
On Peps. JJM I received thronoh his emi
nence, Cardinal Gllilrnns, a letter from
cur hidy father, Loo X III, of which the fol
lowing is a translation:
To Our Venerable strother, John Joseph
Keane, Bishop of Ajaeso:
Vknkham.k Bkotiikr Health and
apostolic benedlotlon. It Is customary that
they who are appointed to preside over
Catholic universities should not hold the
office In perpetuity. This custom has
grown up through wise reasons, and the
Roman pontiffs havo ever been careful
that It should be ndhered to. ISInoe there
fore, venerable brother, you have now pre
sided for Severn! years over the university
at Washington, in the first establishment
and subsequent development of which you
have shown laudable seal nnd diligence,
It has seemed best that the above men
tioned custom should not he departed
from and that another, whofte name Is to
be proposed to us by the bishops, should bo
appointed to succeed you In this honorable
position. In order, however, that, In your
resigning this office, due regard may be
had to your person and your dignity, we
have determined to elevate you to the
rank of arohblshop. Being solicitous for
your future welfare, we leave It to your
own free choice either to remain In your
own country or, If yon profor It, to come
to Rome. If yon choose the former, wo
will destine for you soma archleplsnopal
see, by vote of tho bishops of the Unltnd
States. If you prefer the latter, we shall
welcome yon most lovingly nnd will place
you among the cnnsultors of the congre
gation of studies and the congregation of
the propaganda, In both of whloh yon
could do much for the Interests of religion
In the United States. In this latter oase
we would also assign you a suitable reve
nue for your honorable maintenance.
Confidently trusting, venerable brother,
that yon will aooept this, our administra
tive ant with hearty good will, we most
lovingly bestow upon you the apostollo
benediction, aa a pledge of our paternal
affection.
Given at Rome, from Ft. Peter's, this
loth dny of September, In the nineteenth
year of our pontificate.
Lko XIII, Pope.
Bishop Keane's Reply.
The noxt day I mailed to the holy father
a reply, of whloh the following la a trans
lation: Most Holt Fathrr His Emlnenoe,
Cardinal Gibbons, handed me tha letter In
whloh your holiness has made known to
me that my administration of this univer
sity now oomos to an end, that another
rector la to be appointed.
Without a moment of hesitation, I ac
cept the will of your holiness lu the mat
ter as a manifestation of the providence
BtSHOP EEArl.
of God and from this Instant I resign Into
the hands of his eminence, the ohancellor,
the office of reotor, with all rights thereto
attaching.
Thanking your holiness for the freedom
of choice granted me, I choose to remain
In my own country, and, moreover, with
out any official position whatsoever. In
tranquility and peace. Your holiness'
most humble son In Christ,
John J. Kkank, Bishop of Aiasso.
Supplementing the letters, Bishop Keane
aays:
"I welcome my release from the office of
rector of the university with profound
gratltnde both to divine provldenoe and to
the pope. While I always regarded Its du
ties as a labor of love, tbey bad grown to
be far beyond my strength and ability.
and the deliverance from the burden la a
response to many prayera I was too loyal
a soldier to aak to be relieved from my
post, no matter what Its difficulties, but
feeling that my nine years of strain and
solicitude In the wcrk had brought me
oiose to the end of my brain and nerve
powers, I was fully ready to weloome what
has been done. I shall now enjoy some
months of greatly needed rest on the Pa-
olflo coast, leaving all plans for the future
to a later date. "

Satolll, whom he eucoeeds as the pope's

Cardinal Martlnelll, it is said, has higher
powers than those delegated to Cardinal
Satolll, as the new arrival Is empowered
by the pope to establish a full ecclesiastical
court for all cases relating to the ohuroh
In America.
There will be no appeal from the de
cisions or this court, as Archbishop Martl
nelll has a letter from the pope wn

At lamia, and tills finds favor with th.
Amerloan Cathollo clergy, for cases whiox
were formerly referred to the ooniirega

conditions existing here and will there

In rendering decisions.
The appulutment as apostollo ahlcgatt

THE FATE OP TRAMPS
RUMORS THAT TRAINMEN KILLED
MANY "FREIGHT JUMPERS."
Mangled Bodies Picked I'p Along the
Line of the Consolidated Road An Al
leged Plot to Murder the Vagrants Who
Stole Rides on Freight Trains.
Nbw HAVEN, Oot. 7. Dead bodies have
been picked up with alarming frequency
along the tracks of the Consolidated rail
road during the past four months. This
road Is a hranoh of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad, connecting
New London with this city.
So many men have been found mntllated
on this short run that It has become
known as "Dead Man's run." The po
lice are now satisfied that murder has been
done In many of the3e cases, and thoy
blame the employees on the freight trains.
According to the polloe, the trainmen have
deliberately entored Into a plot to mnrder
tramps who were found stealing rides on
their trains.
Coroner Ell Mix waj Informed of this
gbnstly discovery Inst night. His records
of the many deaths on the railroad were
locked up In his safe. His olerk could not
be found. Here Is the best list that oan
be now made up:
'Eugene Williams of Madison; body
round at fair haven horribly mangled.
John Chatflold of New Haven; found
out to pleoes at Mllford.
'Unidentified man, well dressed; found
by tbe track b at Lake SaltonstalL
Unidentified man; found by the traoks
at Ural ford.
Unidentified man ; found near New Lon
don.
Unidentified man; found at Falrhaven
This is a very Incomplete list. Hardly
a week has passed during the summer
that a body has not been found somewhere
on the line, lying on the traoks, mangled
by the hundreds of car wheels that have
passed over It. Many of them have been
olad In fairly good olothlng, showing that
the men were probably of decent associa
tions, but temporarily In hard luck.
"Supposed to have fallen from a pass
ing train" or "Killed by the oars" has
been the verdict duly rendered In every
one of these oases by the coroner jury.
One Lnekr Failure. -
Those verdicts might have gone an for
years if It had not been that one of the
trainbands failed In his ghastly Job. The
victim lived and sought out the polloe
here. They Investigated, and In the course
of their search stumbled all over the truth,
A humane brakoman, who could not see
murder done, Is said to have told all. Who
he Is or on what train he runs the polloe
absolutely decline to toll. Their reason Is
a simple one. It would mean death for
that man on tbe oars some day.
It was Policeman Michael Ahearn who
made the discovery. This Is the story he
tofd to a press reporter: "On the night of
Sept. 86 three tramps boarded train No.
low at Boston. One was Mlohael Ma ho
ney, a plumber out of work. . His story
was that he wanted to get to New York
and find a Job. The other two men agreed
to go with him. ('hey were put off twtoe
before tbey got to New London, but man
aged to get back on tbe oars each time
Finally, at Nlantio, tbey angered Brake-
man Edward J. Dean, who promptly want
back to his caboose, and, loading a re vol v
er, went out again. Tbe train was stopped
and the men put off.
"Mahoney started to walk away, when
suddenly there was a shot, and he looked
around. Dean had his revolver leveled at
him and was blazing away. Mahoney
started to run. A snot nrougnt mm aowo
Dean kept firing till he had shot five
times. Two missed, one tore through the
man's ooat and grazed his neck, and one
took effect in the right leg and one In the
right arm.
"Mahoney fainted there by the tracks,
and the trainmea, who ran out at the
sound of the shooting, did not dare leave
him there, so he was ploked up and placed
aboard tbe tra'n, bleeding and exhausted.
The tralnhan were In a terrible stew.
Finally they d ded to put him off at Ce
dar Hill, Jon outside of New Haven,
wounded aud t- I aa he was.
"Mahoney in., Je his way to this olty,
and 1 was put on the case.
"All that Mahoney knew was that he
had been put off by a tall man with a
ndy mustaohe, who shot at blm tlvi
. after be bad left the train."
1 ib railroad people strenuously deny
the rumors and assert that tha trainmen
are In no way responsible for the tragedies.

A SAD FEATURE.
Ono of the features of this year's
National Encampment of tho Grand
Army of the Republic, and a sad
one, was tho decreased number of
men on the rolls. Up to 1894 tho G.
A. , R. steadily grew in numorical
strength, and for some time it hold
its own at almost the high-water
mark. But in the past year a rapid
decline set in and hundreds who
were in the ranks at Louisville last
year were missing at St. Paul.
Death is beginning to run its way
with a free bridle through the
ranks, and from now on the de
crease will bo more marked each
year, no matter how actively the
veterans work to bring in their
comrades who have heretofore
failed to join the order.
On January 1, 1894, there was
387,040 members on tho books of
the organization, and in tho next
year there was a drop of over 17,000',
the roll on January 1, 1895, stand
in g at 369,660. In the next year
ending January 1, 1896, there waa a
decrease of 12,000, the total mem
bership on that date being 357,639.
There are no official figures at hand
showing, the decrease since then,
but from careful estimates prepared
it seems that 'the loss of member
ship by deaths has been greater
than in any similar period in the
history of the association. The es
timated total membership is now
placed at 348,000, and by tho end
of tho year it will probably have
sunk down to 340,000 or lower. In

REED OF SYMPATHY BETWEEN TEACH
' EltS AND PARENTS.
Tho profession of the teacher is
certainly an important one. It
should be a happy ono. Adverse in
fluences ought to be removed, and
tho teacher left free to devise his
own plans and to find his enjoyment
in witnessing the success attendant
on their execution.
We would not ask for greater
emolument, though, when wo con
sider that the teacher's best years
are spent in his duties, and after his
best years are passed away an en
lightened community usually judges
him not only unfit for school keep
ing but also unfit for anything else,
we are constrained to believe that
the matter of compensation has
been little enough considered. Wo
would not ask for greater respect
and attention. We Ijelieve that the
instructor has received his share of
these in proportion to his merita.
But we would ask for sympathy
for soul cheering sympathy on tho
part of parents of those whom we
are called to instruct. We would
plead for their aid so far aa they
can assist us. -With that wo could
go to the work with at least some
gloamings of encouragement. The
teacher has many difficulties, and a
large part of them have their orgin
in the want of co-operation, or the
misdirected influence of the parents.
