The Constitution Committee.
Our suggesliOns, made last week, that the
Governor nominate to the Senate one or
more gentlemen from each Senatorial Dis-
trict as a committee to mature questions and
measures for the projected Constitutional
Convention, in advance of the convening of
such a body, we are glad to see has awaken-
ed quite a general discussion. The impor-
tance of the change proposed in our funda-
mental law should engage our best mindS,
and in pressing the matter haste cannot be
made with too much deliberation. '

RASCALITY.—On Sunday evening last,
some Scoundrel placed several obstructions
upon the track of the Danbury ch N orwalk
Railroad with a view of throwing off the
down milk train. One large timber was
placed on the track near Kent, and another
near Winnipauk bridge. Fortunately the
train was moving slowly, and no serious
damage was sustained. The officers of the
Road offer a reward of one hundred dollars
for information leading to the detection and
conviction of the offender. 0n the same
night, ties' were placed on the New-York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad, near
Southport, which were encountered _by the
up mail train. Fortunately they were
thrown from the track, and the tram passed
safely.
#
The Port Chester Railroad.
Ground was broken last week for the New
York, Port Chester and Boston Railway.
The road will extend from Harlem River to
Port Chester, and connections will be estab-
lished with branch lines with the intent of
makinga v'cry short and direct route be-
tween New York and Boston. The con-
tract for building the road has been award-
ed to Harris Brothers, of Vermont, and the
work will be completed, it is expected,
within sixteen months.
The Hartford people are in more trouble
about that new State House Elephant of
theirs, and New Haveners arc jubilant
thereat. The Hartford opponents of the
Upjohn plans intimate that the newlfounda-
tions are unsafe. The mason who is build-
ing the walls, it is said has declared them
entirely insufficient, and several builders
who have examined them have condemned
the walls as too thin.
The new house of Sylvester VanHooscar
is probably one of the best arranged and
built edifices in our town. Gage Inslec,
Esq., who has done so much to improve the
architecture of Norwalk, was drawer of the
plans. Those'admirable Builders, Messrs.
Hubbell & Mead, were the carpenters, do-
ing the inside hard-wood joiner work with
the skill of a cabinet maker. Charley
Smith, the best painter we know of, does
the painting, graining and polishing. Lew-
is J. Curtis, by his expert man an, did the
plumbing work, while the Gold’s patent
steam-heater was put in by .Bradbury &
Goodsell, late of Main street, but now of
Bridgeport. He hasa complete laundry in
basement; kitchen, dining-room and parlors
on first floor, half a dozen chambers on 2d
floor, billiard room, nursery and child’s
play-room, and servants’ bed rooms on 3d
floor, from which there ar‘plendid views
of the sound a‘n‘d acyacent country. The
house is 'an ornament to our town and may
its thrifty owner live long and multiply.
Our friend John P. Beatt , Esq., nothing

made by neighbor Keefer, of Keeler, Holmes
& Cos—donned a new hat and hied him to
Gotham. Acity scamp tried to come the
pocket-book dropping game on him there-
Beatty was too old-a New Yorker to be
caught by such chaff. But his curiosity was
excited and he requested of the scamp to
know why he took him for a countryman.
“ Why, nothing but that—that—hat l” He
and Keeler are considering a swap.
m
Conductor Bauch’s “ smash-up” at our
station last week was not so serious as at
first supposed. His finger was badly jam-
med, but the bone left uninjured. An-cx
change quoting that his finger was smashed
between Norwalk and Bridgeport, remarks
it never supposed it possible for these two
places to get so close together. Had South
Norwalk been suggested the problem might
have been more easily solved. ‘
The-Patent Oflice has recently rejected an
application. for a tapering drain pipe be-
cause the idea was suggested in the Bar-
lesque Sparrowgrass papers, where Cozzens
ordered a plank drain to be a foot square on
the start and increasing an inch a foot for
some 800 feet, and found the terminal too
large for his building lot. '
The Stuart and Bank of Norwalk case‘
will probably continue through this week
also. The decision of the Ocean Bank has
highly stimulated Stuart, whileithe failure
of 'thejury'to agree iythe Baltimore Bank
robbery ease will no doubt encourage the
Bank. “ Go it bear, give it to 'im ‘old wo-
. man. ’ ’ _ - ~ ‘ '

in the New office, but having failed to put
in an appearance in a reasonable time, Tim
wrote to him inquiring the reason why.
The answer came back, that he (the com-
Qositor) had been to Danbury and put up at
a hotel, but as there was not anyone to meet
him at the cars, nor anyone called on him
at the hotel, he had concluded that he was
not wanted, and so went back to Windham
county. Tim was sorry, but couldn’t take
it on himself to turn out Company G of the
4th Reg. C. N. G.,with their Brass band, to
escort and do honor to every new jdur they
felt necessitated to employ from out of town

A Terrible Accident.
Drxox,"Ill., May 4.——-A terrible accident
occurred here this afternoon. - The rite of
baptism was administering to a number of
recent converts to one of the Baptist
churches here, at a point in Rock River,
just below the Truesdell Iron Bridge, abd
about 200 persons, including many ladies
and a number of children, on the bridge to
witness the ceremony. Suddenly without
warning the bridge gave way, and precipi-
tated ilsliving freight into the stream be-
low. The scenc which ensued was inde.
scribablc terrible as the struggling victims
vainly endeavored to free themselves from
the ruins of the bridge and from each other.
Large crowds of people on the banks rushed
' wildly to and fro, many of them so distract-
ed with terror as to be unable to render any
assistance. Others, mo’re self possessed,
speedily brought ropes, planks, and boats,
and went nobly to work to rescue the living
and recover the dead. Some of those who
were on the bridge when» it fell were so
near the edge that they were able to reach
land without assistance, while others were
fortunately in reach of those on shore, but
up to 6 p. m., 32 dead bodies had been taken
from the river, and it is almost certain that
there are others still under the wreck of the
bridge. Ot‘those saved, 24 were more or

Tépgingenuily of inventors has lOn ' ccii.
empl‘riyed in devising inventions tpfilightcngf
the/lhbors of the household, and .wiiih great; '
success. In no country in the world has so
much been done in'this respect asin Our
own. In the ,humblcst household is now
found the “ sewing" machine, the washing
machine,-thc wringer, and countless other
labor-saving devices. The introduction of
these and similar devices has given rise to
another want, which up to the present time
has not been supplied, and that‘is a moron
to Opt rate these various machines. We are
glad to be able to say that at last our inven-
tors huve been able to meet this want also.
Many efforts had previously been made, but
they failed for various reasons. Generally
the effort was to provide a stogm engine;
but this did not answer, because it requires
an expert or engineer to keep th m in order
and run them, hence they can] not be used
by women and . children. Besides, the
trouble and danger from'firc and explosion,
and the smell of the steam and grease com-
bined, and the impossibility of moving them
shout or using them in the rooms where
sewing machines have to be located, render-
ed them impracucable. Next, electric
motors were tried, but they, too, failed ;
first, because too expensive, and second,
because of the necessity of using acids and
chemicals, and requiring a knowledge, of
electricity, not possessed. by the mass of
people. .
Latterly, and more especially since the
general introduction of water into' our cities
and larger villages,attention has been turned-
to it as a means of supplying motive power
ft!r household and small factory uses.
Hitherto, nearly all attempts to construct a
Water motor has been a failure, for the
reason that if a wheel was used, it took too
much water, and having to Ire-arranged in a
iwater-tight case was expensive,—a six~inch
wheel costing from $75 to $100. In attempt-
ing to construct a. water engine, nearly every
one had adopted the idea of the ordinary
steam engine,with its complication of chests,
valves, valve rods, eccentrics, &c., and was
a failure to a great extent, because the fI'lCe
tion of so many moving parts used up a
large portion of the power of the water.
Then again, ‘mOst of the constructors of
these engines ovc ked thefact that water
is not compressible or expansive like steam,
and they made their'~ports and openings as
they did 'in‘ steam engines, and. the result
was that the water was so, choked in its
passage to. and from the cylinder, that it
exerted but-a small portion of the power
due to its pressure. ' 1
Large sums have: been expended in the
vain efforts to make these engines a success,
the inventors of“ the present motor thorn-
selvcs having spent thousands of dollars in
this attempt, before they finally hit on the
one now under consideration.
At last, however, they have achieved sue-
_ cess; and to-day the household motor is a
perfet t working reality. ' , -
As right be supposed. this motor is the
simpl st thing ever-devised. In brief, it is a
douI-i ‘ acting, oscillatiy engine, without
cater about, values, valve rods or eccentrics, the
only aovin parts being the oscillating cyl-
inder, the ' iston . and crank. An engine
large enough to drive a sewing machine,
dent: =t’s drill, or any similar ll machine,
all cozfiplete, occupies duly-about ten inches
space; and weighs about fifteen pounds. It
can be set on a carpet or used anywhere in
the house with perfect safety. All that is
necessary, is to confiechit' by a piece of rub-
ber hose or metal pipe with the water pipe
of the house, and it is ready for use. It re-
quires no care but .to turn a cock to stop or
start it, and hence can be used by any
woman or child ; and'ofcburse can be used
for any purpose for which a motor may be
required. It works equally well with water,
steam or compressed air,.and may be made
of any size desired. 'The inventors haveihad
it thOroughly tested for nearly two years
past, and a large number of ~them are now-
in "use operating sewing machines, fans,
dental drills and large coffee grinders _in
grocery stores, the latter having three-inch
cylinders. The power which these motors
exert, is of course dependent upon the pres-
sure applied to the piston, the‘samc as in
any other engine ; but owing to the reduc-
tion of the number of moving parts, and
consequently to the reduction of friction,
the amount or proportion of the power
transmitted by them is much greater than in
ordinary engines. When operated by 759%?

INTERESTING 'ro lllxnmnus.-—'I‘he Su-
preme Court, Monday, at Washington, in.
a collision case from Maryland, held that
the nautical rules require, when a steamer
and sailing vessel are approaching ,each
other, that from the very moment the sailor
is in view the steamer shall watch with the
utmost diligence her course and movements,
so as to be able to adopt such timely meas-
ures of precaution as will necessarily
p' out the two boats coming in contact.
It" on the part of the sailing vessel does .
not absolve the steamer suffering itself to
get in too dangerous proximity. The
steamer in allowing'such proximity is
chargeable with all the damagesrcsulting.
The steamer is bound to keep out out of
the way of the sailing vessel.

A project has been started among the

view of the low price of woolens and high
price of wool, to stop 1,000 sets of machinery,
each film agreeing to run one-half time or
stop one-half the productive capacity of-
therr mills, and the agreement is not to be-
come operativeuntil 1,000 sets have been
subscribed. Already 200 sets are represent-
ed by signatures, and the remaining 800, it
is supposed, can be easily be obtained.

The Tribune building in New York is' to
be put up as soon as the weather-settles.
The stockholders are said to consider, the

l
#0 it by a cord or hell, according to circum-
'- looted, by a. few feet of rubber hose, to the
guysiflwagl’twi'p'ressure or. weight of a
column of water is' cquaLto about fifteen
pounds per square inch for every thirty-two
feet in height, and they have, therefore, as
many times fifteen pounds per inch pressure
on the piston 'as the total head contains
thirty-two feet. .As the water works of our
cities usually have a head of from 65 to 160.
feet, there will be exerted upon the pistons
of these motors from30‘ to 95 pounds pres-
sure per square inch, and this is the measure
of the power which these engines will trans.
mit, less only the amount absorbed in the
friction of the parts, and‘of the water in pass-
ing through the pipes, which is but trifling
owing, as before stated, to the small number
of moving parts and simplicity of construc-
tion. '
The uses to which such a motor can be
applied are innumerable. Probably the
most important is that of operating sewing
machines, more especially as they are used
by females,-and physicians all agree that the
working of them is productive of many and
serious ailments among women, so much so
in fact, that the opinion has been expressed
that their introduction has been productive
of as much injury as benefit. They can be
attached directly to the machine, or can be
located at any point desired, and connected
stances. In Washington and Georgetown,
where they orignated, many of them are
liow in use for this purpose. When there,
we saw one in a grocery store on_ Pennsyl-
vania Avenue operating a large coffee
grinder, a master in'the basement, and a row
of fans extending the entire length of the
counter- A ,friend' of ours there had one,
only three-quarters 'of' an inch bore, up in
the third story in his office, operating a fan.
over his desk, where he sat in perfect con:
lent, the picture of happiness, indifferent
alike to heat, dust and files. It was con-
mall water-pipe of1 the water basin _of the
room, and by. another' .piece discharged
again into his Washbasin, no care or trouble
and requiring ‘no‘ attention but to turn a
cock to let On or shutoff the water. In an-
otheir place, we saw one operating a dental
,‘drill, and the dentist stated that itwas not
only a‘ great convenience, but a great ad-
vantage also, as before he had to operate his
drill by his foot. which rendered it difficult
to keep Iris body sufficiently still to manipu-
late the dr.‘ll with the care that is absolutely
necessary. ., In like manner they may be
used for driving washi‘g machines, church
organp, lathetz, printing. presses, elevators in
buildings. churns, grinastones, hay . cutters,
and all similar purposes. One great advan-
tage of this Mot- crater these purposes is the
absence of all danger from fire or explosions,
and how important this is' will at ones he
understood when it is'remembered' that the
Boston fire originated from the steam engine
that operated the elevator in one of the
stores. Then :again, their cost is a mere
trifle, as compared with a steam engine”, for
the same purpos e—no; being more than one-
fourth as much. - Even as a portable steam
engine, they can be made cheaper than any
0 ther cnginccverjoefore produced.
It has already been awarded a diploma at
the fair of the-Maryland Institute, also at the
Kings Gounly Fair at Brooklyn, last fall,
and was awarded a diploma and medal at
the last fair of the American Institute. ‘ So
v aluahlc is it considered that the officials at
tlhch. S. Navy Yard, at Washington, have
had one made especially for use there,—it
being a five-inch cylinder, and being pro.
‘run witl‘fthc same power as thoughlocated
at any height to‘juhzch the filter toillQrt'se, and
in the bascmcnl,by .simplyz extending the
discharge pipe down to the lowest point,
and forming in it a bend or trap to exclude
the air. It can be placed on the floor, in a '
closed or- corncr, on a bench or bracket, andq
thus be out of the way and out of sight also,
though being so unique and a “thing of
beauty" this is not likely to be desired. In
short. it seems to be just the thing that has
so lqng been needed. .
It is the invention of Messrs. J. H: dc R.
W. Welch, of Georgetown, D. 0., who have
spent much time and tnoney On its comple-
tion, and is fully secured by several patents
in this country and in Europe, where it has
also been introduced. -
It is now in the ownership and control of
a company just organized by W. B. Bar-
tram, of Danbury, where the motor will
probably be hereafter manufactured. Nor-
walk is aim to be represented in the capital
stock of 'the new company. The machines
being a novelty and surprise to all who see
their operation, it is anticipated that an un-
usual interest will be awakened by their in-
troduction into market. Mr. Kitz, the
Gazette Building barber, is the first in Nor-
walk to secure .18. He is to use 'it for a
barber shop fan, and for turning his machine
hair-brushes.
The Dangers of Financial Trusts;
One of the peculiar dangers to which
great pecuniary trusts are subject in this
country, is the oppressive interference of
courts and legislatures. Hitherto, both of
these branches .of government have been
generally free from corruption in this coun.
try ; our judiciary, indeed, hasabcen the or-
nament of Republican institutions. But
there is reason to fear that a change is
taking place. Corporatiohs 'are growing
richer with fearful speed ; single companies
often hold more property and money now
than the States which created themheld fifty
years ago; and as the temptation to meddle
and plunder increases, it is to be feared that_
the moral standard of legislatures is lowered
rather than raised. ,
A singular foretaste of what threatens us
in this line is to be found in the recent ex-
perience of .the Mutual Life Insurance Com-
pany of New York. This is the oldest as-
sociation of its kind in the country, and by
far the largest and most successful life his
surance company in the world, There is
no doubt, we suppose, in any mind as to its
solidityand excellence, since even the. bitter-
est enemies of its present officers, the candi-
dates for the succession, take great pains to
declare that the company is sound and good.
andjthat their issue is only with some of its
managers. About seven years ago, before
it had reached anything like its present im-
portance, the Board of Trustees revived a
lapsed policy for the benefit of children of
a subordinate officer who had died in its ser~
vice. The President also made advances
upon a purchase of United States securities
which was afterwards cancelled, and the
money returned.‘ The company advanced
to the State Treasury, in 1864, considerable
sums to feed and clothe soldiers, on the
security of a State appropriation,which'was
paid almost immediately. These transac-
tions were taken up by one Or two personal
enemies of the officers, and made the ground
of charges against the management before
meetings of the policy-holders. Several
Committees were appointed, the books and
records of the company were examined. and
everything proved right, so that no impres-
sion unfavorable to the company was made.
But in 1870, the aceusers, after failing be-
fore thc policy-holders and the public,
brought these matters personally before the
Legislature and the State Insurance Depart-
ment. Each of these authorities ordered a
new investigation. A committee of the As-
sembly, with the late corporation attorney
of New York, the now fugitive Thomas C.
Fields at its head, came to the city and sat
in secret session for some weeks, hearing all
that could be alleged against the company.
They embodied all these attacks in a report ;
and, according to the sworn testimony of
Mr. Sewall before the present Assembly
Committee on Grievances, on April 20, find-
ing that no money could be made out of the

pany s offices, and examining 1.3 officers,
books and papersms well as all its assailants.
The complete testimony was reported to the
legislature, with the conclusions of the de-
partment, declaring'the company vindicated
at all points, and worthy of the most un-
reserved public confidence. About the
same time, a committee of the Boston policy-
holders mndc air-independent investigation,
in their own interests, and came to just the
same conclusions. . '
Thus baffled at every point, the enemies
of the company applied to a judge of the
Supreme Court, since impeached and dc?
posed for corruption, tc seize the company's
funds and throw them into the hands of a‘
receiver; and there was really reason for a
time to fear lest this infamous plot would
succeed: But the judge in question (lid not
dare to carry it out. ‘
The only resource left was the vcnal part
of the press. One journal, the Insurance
Times, whose editor and owner had been all
this time the ’ most sycophantic fiatterer _of
the company and its officers,suddenl y turned
against it, and made the old transactions
above ‘related _the basis of fierce personal
invective against Mr. Winston. He con-
tinued this abuse, in all thesvile language
'of Billingsgate, until the patience of the
,otiicers was worn out. He was arrested for
libel, and, unable to procure ball, was lodged
in prison in January last, where he still re-
mains, playing the part of a “martyr to the
freedom of the press.” This case of Stephen
English promises to be famous. Instead of
appealing to the courts, a bringing his case
to trial, English petitions the legislature to
send another committee to investigate the
company; and at once, on the cry'that a
man is deprived of liberty, the committee‘ on
grievances, the least important of all com-
mittees, and the least informed on all such
subjects, is directed to inquire into all the
matters in English’s petition. .
What next? No man-can safely predict .
This committee has been - sitting several
weeks, and has listen'ed patiently to every
slander that the enemies of the company
could devise against it, recording'thgm all,
draw— arms and ammunition hereafler.
Finally, the committee concluded to wind
up by giving the company two days to meet
and refute all the attacks, and on April 27,
and 28 this was done with wonderful con
ciseness and effect. It remains“ to be seen
what the action of the committee in the Leg-
islature will be ; probably they will do
nothing at all. But we trust that the testi-
mony will all be published together, so that
the complete vindication of the c pany
may be understood.
Neither in this case, nor in that of any
other great .financial trust in New York,
however, can the future be foreseen. There
is certainly danger that the immense sums.
invested in these institutions may still fur-
ther excite the cupidity of legislative com-
. mittecs and of' irresponsible courts, and their
very existence may be threatened by asys:
tem of public plunder and black-mail. It
seems to us, therefore, that the State of New
Jersey has acted wisely in passing laws
extending the hospitality of the State to
‘snch institutions. By virtue of the retreat
thus opened to them, these moneyed corpor-
aliens in New York are able to resist all.
black-mailing schemes, and if they are
seriously menaced with opposition. they
can, in a night, remove their organization
and securities into another State, and go on
with their business under more liberal laws.
But Connecticut has some advantages over
concern in good condition.
