COLONEL HOIT FOB tPElKKR.
The Beaalt or tne Caaeu.es at ths
Capitol Last Nirht No Contesting
mr. Hoy t TJnaninsonslr C'noaen
Clinton B. Darts tbe Democratic
Nominee.
Special to the Journal and Oovbikr
Habtfobd, Jan. 4. The representatives of
both political parties, members-elect of the
General Assembly, were on hand in full force
at the State Capitol to-night, when the can
cases were held, and dryer or less exciting or
interesting oauouses seldom have taken place
in the Capitol eity. There was really no con
testing from the beginning to the close of the
sessions, exoept in the case of the assistant
clerk nominee in the Republican House.
The" Democratic House caucus was held in
the Senate chamber. It was twenty minntes
late in getting together. "Mr. Bertram, of
Sharon, was appointed chairman and John
E. Sosnlan, of Hartford, clerk. The name of
Clinton B. Davis, of Middlesex, was the only
one mentioned for the Democratic speaker
ship. ' and he was so chosen. William
Jamison, of Middlesex, received the nomina
tion for clerk, William J. Beeoher, of New
town, that of assistant clerk. It was then
moved and Seconded to appoint a committee
ot tnree rrom tne members of tbe House to
propare ballots for the election of State offi
cers on Thursday. Gesrge M. Gnnn, of
Milford, and John H. Griffin, of Middle town,
were then nominated as a committee whose
duty it shall be to call caucuses. Before the
members-elect adjourned the newly nomi
nated Speaker, Clinton B. Davis, favored the
caucus with his thanks for his -nomination.
The caucus then adjourned.
The Republican House caucus very prompt
ly assembled. It met in Representatives' hall.
Representative Thompson, of East Haven,
was appointed ohairman. Messrs. Holmes,
of BidgeSeld, and Bartholomew, of Derby,
were appointed olerk and assistant clerk re
spectively. Tellers appointed were: Messrs.
Oandee of Suffield, Roach of Middletown,
Bates of Putnam and Morgan of Groton.
Representative Higgins, of Greenwich, pro
posed the name of Colonel Hoyt, of Green
wich, for Speaker. Representative Higgins
said in proposing Colonel Hoyt's name for
the nomination: "Gentlemen of the House, I
take exceedingly great pleasure in presenting
to yen the name of Colonel Hoyt. He is a
man well known by you all. He has served
unfailingly and faithfully the Assembly, the
State and his fellow-citizens. His char
acter for integrity, uprightness and
honesty no one can dispute, and I feel " sure
if he is nominated he will be duly elected to
the office, which he can, I warrant yon, fill
both ably and efficiently."'
Mr. Shqmway, of Killingly, seconded Mr.
Higgins' nomination. He said: "I second the
nomination of the gentleman from Green
wich because I know Colonel Hoyt to be
eminently fitted for the position that I feel
sore this canons will nominate him to. I
am voicing the unanimous sentiment of the
eastern section of the State when I eulogize
Colonel Hoyt." The motion to nominate
Colonel Hoyt for Republican Speaker of the
House was put and carried, receiving no dis
senting vote.
The chair declared nominations in order
for a clerk. Representative Shumway, of
Killingly, spoke very highly of W. J.
McConville, of Hartford. He is well fitted
for the arduous duties of a clerk of the
House and there is no doubt he will fill that
office to perfection. The motion was car
ried and Mr. McConville was declared nom
inated for clerk. So far the nominations
hsd met with no opposition, but in the
choosing of an assistant clerk there was con
siderable interest and spirit manifested. The
candidates for assistant clerk were L. A.
Eddy of North Canaan, L. L. Plummer of
Killingly and Clarence E. Jones of New Hart
ford. The contest lay between the first two
gentlemen. The prevailing impression be
fore the ballot was taken was that Mr. Eddy
would receive the nomination. Last year
for the same office Mr. Eddy came
very near being victorious. This rear
his friends oame to the caucus determined to
nominate him for the' office by all means.
Mr. Eddy wss first eulogized. Representa
tive Steele, of Torrihgton, presented his
name to the caucus in well chosen and well
spoken words of eulogy. He said: "Gen
tlemen of the caucus, I know that if you
elect to the assistant clerkship Mr. Eddy you
will have just the right man for the right
place. We who present his name to yon to
night are glad to know him. He has served
his country snd fellow men most faithfully
and efficiently. He commands my respect
and the respect of all the gentlemen from
Litchfield county. He is a farmer and I think
you would: do well to elect a farmer
to the assistant . clerkship. Litchfield
county, 1 think, has this office due her."
She has never had a clerk in the House and
but one assistant clerk. We claim some
rights and yon will- agree, gentlemen, we
ought to have the office."
Representative Shumway,- of Killingly,
arose and proceeded to speak in glowing
terms of Mr. Leroy I. Plummer, of Killing
ly. for the position of - assistant clerk. The
locality claim was strongly pressed in Mr.
Plnmmer's behalf by Mr. Shumway. He
said: "Mr. Plummer is in every way well
qualified for the office for which I propose
his name. He is a young man of decided
and recognized ability and ' would make an
excellent clerk. He is backed by all the
prominent Republicans of the eastern section
of Connecticut."
A vote was taken and resulted as follows:
Whole number of votes cast 139; necessary
for a choice 70; S. A. Eddy 95; L,. I. Plum
mer 44. Mr. Eddy was declared elected as
sistant clerk. -
It was voted to nominate tiev. O. P. Smith,
of Hartford, chaplain.
A committee of eight, one from each
county, were next appointed a commit
tee to call future cansuses. They are Heze-
kiah R. Sheldon, Hartford county; Mr. Bran
son, New London; John S. Morgan, Wind
ham; Milton A. bhumway, .Latohneld; Mr.
Morey, Middlesex; Rufus G. Shepherd, Fair
field; A. F. Higgins, Tolland.
A committee of one from each county was
then appointed to nominate door-tenders
and messengers. The caucus then . ad
journed. The committee appointed for aoor-tenaers
Charles P. Fitch, George L. Carey, E. S.
Seabry, D. S. Simmons, George F. Tyler,
N. S. Buckland. Messengers: David B.
Mansfield, David Broderick, W. S. Hooper,
Daniel K. HiiL .
The Democratic Senators met in the Sen
ate ante-room and nominated ex-Lieutenant
Governor Hyde for president pro tern.
The Republican Senators met in the Sen
ate chamber. Senator Walsh was nominat
ed for president pro tern, and Austin Brain-
erd, of East Haddam, for clerk, and the

Pro r. William R. Harper or Tale.
The New England Journal of Education
prints a sketoh of Prof. William R. Harper,
recently appointed to the chair of . scientific
languages at the University of Yale, in
which occurs the following account of his
earlier studies:
He was born in Concord. O., July 2e, 1856. He
took to learning early and graduated from Musk
iogum college Fa bis native town at the age of four
teen. The colleee was a small one. but it was at
hand and he used it, as every student should use his
college, not to end, but to begin the pursuit of
knowledge. After graduation he spent three years
at home in study, principally of language. He read
tne on IK oi tne l-Aiin ana ureea uteratures. rue
historians, poets, philosophers and orators of whose
writings we study fragments in the regular college
course, and others besides, he traversed at
length. At this time he acquired also prac
tical use of German and French and
all tbe languages of southern Europe with
something of .the Scandinavian. As yet
he had no definite plan for his future,
and his strong passion for music almost led him to
choose it as nis spnere oi proiessionat activity; out
a wise paternal discernment of his capacities cent
him to Yale, where he pursued graduate courses of
study, largely in language Latin and Oreek Gothic
ivith Professfor Carter. Hebrew with Professor Day
and Sanscrit with Profeesor Whitney. In two
yars, at the age of nineteen.he received the degree
of Ph. D. Now, with formed tastes, he sought to
know where, as a philologist, he might best direct
his energies. Professor Whitney told him that the
Semitic Held was comparatively unworked and that
with the then dawning interest in Assyriology there
was a splendid epportunity for the scientific pur
suit of the Oriental languages and for promotion of
interest in them. In this sagacious counsel the key
note of his future was sounded.

ANSONIA'S m3 FIRE.
Wallace 4c Sons' Eleetrle Carbon Shop
Destroyed ny Fire Loss Twenty-five
Thousand Dollars.
Yesterday forenoon about 10:30 o'clock fire
was discovered in the electrio carbon shop of
Wallace & Sons in Ansonia. The flames
spread rapidly and soon the entire building
was wrapped in flames. Eagle hose respond
ed promptly to the alarm and soon had three
streams on the fire. When the fire reached a
portion of the building in which were stored
many barrels of tar the flames shot upward
to a great height and the heat was intense.
It was difficult to reach this part of the
building, but the firemen after an boar's
hard work had the fire under control. The
weather was so cold that many of the firemen
had their fingers frozen and. others were
drenched with water which froze on them.
The building was of wood and was about 60
by 30 and two stories high. In ths building
was a large amount of stock and valuable
machinery, all of which was destroyed. The
department worked hard and by their efforts
succeeded in saving many adjacent buildings.
The loss is estimated at from $20,000 to $30,
000, all of whieh is covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire is supposed to have
been the accidental dropping ot a piece of
hot iron into a pot of tar.

speakers will be present and take part in
making tne occasion an instructive and on-
joyable affair. In fact, there will be rone
but the best speakers, who will participate
in the entire convention.
There will undoubtedly be a large attend
ance at each session, ss the railroad fares
will be reduced for those wishing to attend
from out of the city.
Not Only the National Disease, feat

It is said that dyspepsia is on: national
malady. Well, Braudreth's Pills will cure
the national malady.
It is said that constipatio-a is the curse of
our sedentary life. Well, Brandreth's Pills
certainly cure constipation.
It is generally conceded that rheumatism
comes from acid stomach and sudden changes
of temperature. Brandreth's Pills have cor
rected all this and will do it again.
Chronic diseases are enred by ' taking two
to four Brandreth's Pills every night for a
