Interest and Discounts.
Throughout the commercial world the
rates of interest are'coming down, indicating
WW clearly that the supply is greater than
thedejnan'd and. that the value of money
like that of any other commodity, is governed
by the ordinary laws of trade. In Great
Britain, two and three per cent. is deemed a
good and satisfactory rate of interest on long
loans, with good security. In this country
also, interest has slightly decreased, yet is it
not still too high for the commercial pros
perity of the nation ? We have- in Norwalk
four National and three Savings Banks. The
latter are restricted by law to six per cent.,
while all the former institutions but one, we
believe still exact eight per cent. for loans on
business paper. Is this generous 0r fair to
their customers? Inability to pay accus-
tomed ' dividends at a less rate, may be
urged, but where it is notoriously true that
there is not a single National Bank here that
could not go to New York and loan money
in any amount at a rate Of from one and a
half, to two per cent. per annum. We be-
lieve the Banks could do a great deal towards
helping on an early return of business pros-
perity by voluntarily lowering their rates of
discounts and thus reap for themselves an
earlier and more profitable harvest.

The Heated Wave.
The much talked of heated wave arrived
early Thursday morning in accordance with
‘ ‘old indicator-S” previously published predic-
tions. Thursday and Friday the mercury
ranged from _96 to 100 in the shade, but on
Saturday the heat was somewhat moderated.
Sunday morning opened with mist and dense
clouds, followed by rain, with a hot sun at
noon, and thunder showers during the after-
noon. Monday was cool and delightful. The
hot wave held its own straight across the
country, but lost its “gift of continuance”
upon reaching the Atlantic coast. The peo-
ple here were prepared for its arrival, which
probably accounts for the little damage done.
I f
The Difference.
We happened to be present in the pay-
clerk’s office of the Senate, when Senator and
Ex-Governor James E. English came to draw
his first installment of pay, Finding that
compensation from the date of the death of
Senator Ferry was- subject to his draft, he
with honorable spirit remarked, “I have no
moral right to money I have not earned and
will not appropriate a cent of pay which has
not accrued since I arrived here and was
sworn in,” and he did. not; Congressman
Warner hastened to draw nearly three thou-
sand dollars from the public treasury in just
two days after having been sworn in. We
should think he would yellfy’rcud, ” “FRAUD,”
“FRAUD,” till he was hoarse. Possibly it
is ungenerous to thus enforce the doctrines
ofo‘punishment after death.”

UNITED STATEs SENATE,
WAsniNGTON, D. 0.. July 13, 1878.}
My Dear Sir :— . . . _
Your letter of the 7th inst. making Inquiry
in relation to the amendment for construct-
ing a day-beacon and light house at Stamford,
Conn, was received. In reply would say
that an amendment proposing $11,000 for
that purpose was introduced in.tbe Senate by
Mr. Barnum, and referred to this Committee,
and on the letter of the Chairman of the
Light House Board recommending the ap-
propriation, the committee concluded that
the wants of commerce required that the
work should be constructed, .and put_ on an
amendment for that purpose: This was
agreed to by the Senate, but in conference
we were obliged to let it go out in conse-
quence of the refusal of thc House Demo-
cratic conferees to agree to it, for the reason
as they said that the light was unnecessary.-
My committee has always been very liberal
in making appropriations where the preserva-
tion of life and property wasunvolved, arid in
this case insisted upon the items remaining
in the hill just as long as was prudent. .
Yours Very Truly,
WILLIAM WIN DOM.

Senator Windom was chairman on the
part of the Senateof the last Committee of
Conference that met to adjust the differences
of the two Houses on the Sundry Civil Bill,
and Representative Hewitt was Chairman of
the House Conference Committee. Had he
been “posted," as he should have been, he
would not have made the objections which
defeated this needful appropriation.

Had Congressman Warner been able to
successfully controvert the statements of the
GAZETTE, he never would have brought the
public disgrace upon himself that he has or
made it necesssary for him to lie so audacious-
ly to cover that sense of dishonor. We sub-
mitted the article which appeared in our
Extra to several gentlemen who saw the as-
sault, and all without exception pronounced
our .version of it substantially true in every
particular. Mr. William Quintard and Geo.
Selleck saw us toss the cane to Werner, and
Allison Williams saw him catch it while yet
be was in the “colored friend and brother’s”
arms .

Mr. W. G. Lineburgh has been elected
President of the Mechanics and Farmers
Savings Bank. A better choice could not
have been made—Bridgeport Standard.
We heartily endorse the above, for we’ve
known Lineburgh from his boyhood, and
honesty and integrity permeates every fibre
of his nature. There will be no “short ac-
counts” or “devious wa ’about that Bank
so long as be is at its head. Lineburgh has
risen step by step, from a most unpromising
boy-hood here, by dint of his own unaided
energy, and his clear head and honest heart,
to a position in the estimation of his fellow
citizens, of which any man might very justly
feel proud. Success to him, now and ever.

Assaulting the Wrong Kind of'a.
Man.
' NEW HAVEN, July 19.———A severe criticism
in the Norwalk Gazette on Congressman Levi
Warner’s course at Washington resulted last
night in an assault on the editor, A. H. By-
ington, by Warner, who struck him over the
head with a heavy cane. Byington wrestcd
the cane from Warner, struck him several
blows. and finally walked of with the cane in
his possession—Dispatch to N. Y. Timee. ,
This Associated Press dispatch which has
gone to every prominent newspaper through-
out the United States, is incorrect in regard
to our having repeated our blow and“walked
off" with the Congressman’s cane. We could
easily have done both, but when we saw the
dilapidated head of Congressman Warner
peering above the brawney shoulders of his
colored friend and that silk tile, burst at the
crown and crushed down over his eyes and
ears, and the crowd unable to recognize him
were excitedly inquiring “who is it?” who
is it i” we felt that “the era of good feeling"
had returned, and so tossed the stick back to
him With the remark—“Herc, Congressman
Warner, is your club, I have no further use
for it.” A score of bystanders must 'have
seen and heard this, and although if we had
“walked off with the cane,” it would have
saved Congressman Warner from having told
such an “awful whopper" about his having
wrestcd it from as, &c., still it was so kind
and considerate'of him to have loaned us the
use of it at all, that the commonest gentility
dictated we should return the borrowed
cudgel just as soon as the hostilities were at
an end and we had no further use for it.
Our Congressman ought to divide his back
pay with Allison Williams, for he can never
sufficiently reward him for .that protecting
bug which so completely shielded his palpi-
tatingebreast and only revealed that utterly
indescribable head put on him by his own
weapon.

FAILS AS IGNOMINIOUSLY AS
STREET FIGHTER AS HE DID AS
NEWSPAPER WRITER! !
Rescued from Punishment.
It is so seldom a provincial Editor is asault-
ed,—-cspccially in New England—even by
the bullying blackguards of the street, that
when a quiet town like Norwalk is electrified
by such an event, and the chief actor is a
great (i) American Congressman l—we feel
justified in hurrying the details of so absorb-
ing an event before our readers in an EXTRA.
THE DETAILS
are very brief, as was the encounter. The
Senior Editor of the GAZETTE was passing
quietly to the post office a few moments be-
fore cight O’clock, Thursday evening, and
when opposite the east end of the Danbury
Depot, Congressman Warner crossed from
the Fairfield County Bank, and in his mild
and mast genial manner, accosted the man of
the quill and scissors. His salutations were
as pleasantly returned, when the Congress-
man assumed a scverer tone and questioned
.the truth of last Tuesday’s publication of his
having “made oath” to the mileage'he drew
on entering Congress. Quills replied the
GAZETTE'S statement was copied from the
open records of the House Sergeant-at-Arms,
and their oflicial record could not Well he
erroneous. “It's a lie! It’s a lie!” shouted
the now irate Congressman, with the volubili-
ty and vigor of a fish woman. Then squar-
ing himself in true John Morrisscy style, be
aimed a vigorous blow at the smiling face of
the journalist. But his zeal was beyond his
skill and there was little trouble in parrying
his iterated “strike-outs from the shoulder."
Being partially disabled in the right arm
by reason of rheumatism, the Editor seized
his assailant by the left arm with his left, and
thus kept at bay an ugly looking, heavy cane
With a large bulbousend, which was grasped
by Warner in that hand. The situation in-
dicated that mischief was intended with the
murderous-looking weapon with which the
brave “Congressman from. the Fourth Con-
gresscbnal District of Connecticut” had come
armed to attack an entirely unprovided man
of much inferior size. His assault was un-
doubtedly premeditated and prepared, and
his bludgeon brought to disable the Editor
should he make effectual resistance. It was
almost instantly apparent, that his _(Warner's,
physical strength was weak and unreliable,
and the Editor’s efforts at first were all direct-
ed to an avoidance of a common street brawl.
In" retreating backward to the depot the
Editor’s heels struck the edge of the platform
planks there projecting. and he fell. Not til
then was it,that Congressnmn Warner was able
to effectually deliver a single one of his blows.
As the assailed sprang to his knees, Congress-
man Warner's clenched fist delivered a
smart blow just in front of the left temple.
At this point, being still down. the assailed
seized the lower end of the cane with both
hands, wrestcd it from Congressman VYurncr's
grasp, and rising, delivered a blow over the
top of the Congressman's silk hat, which was
entirely ruined by the blow.
The Editor could just as easily have de-
livered his blow upon the side of the Con-
gressman’s head, with serious results, if he
had so desired, but his one paramount. wish
was not . to degrade himself to the level of
Congressman Warner by engaging in a
street fight. The blow over the head and
cars of the Congressman might easily have
been repeated before friends pressed in to
separate the assailants, but as Warner reeled
away from the effects of the blow from his
own weapon,~witli his shiny silk tile, split
down over his head, eyes, and those cars, the
great' American Congressman presented a
picture so grotesque and comical that it
would have inspired laughter from an
anchorite. What a picture was that for a
POLICE GAZETTE's cartoon ?
The trouble with Congressman Warner is
that he seems to forget, when he provokes a
warfare that there are “blows to receive as
well as blows to give.” His arms having
grown so long and muscular in reaChing for
“back pay,” may‘have misled him in his
estimate as to their reliability for a street
iisticuff. What an abject confession of
weakness and wrong is such adegraded exhi-
bition by a great American Congressman!

life then took the horse car for Norwalk
to get Mr. Warner's version of the affair.
He said: 1 met Byington near thegPost-
ofiice and he greeted me with “How do you
do, Mr. Warner ?” I replied “Very well,”
and said “Mr. Byington, don’t you know
that you lied when you said that I. made a
false affidavit in order to obtain mileage ?”
He replied that he had not, and repeated
that such was the; fact. I then took him by
the shoulder, and with my cane whipped
him around the legs and body. He made
no resistance, but retreated like a cowardly
puppy dog, raising his hands to aVOid blows
on the head. I did not wish to mark him
so I whipped him where he would not show
the effects. While backing away from me
he fell, and while he was getting .up I slap.
ped him in the face with my hand. He then
grabbed at the cane and wrenched it out of
my hand, and seizing it with both hands
brought it down on, myghat with suflicient
force to demolish it, but not enough to have
any effect. I immediately took the cane
away from him, and was whipping him
with it. and culling him with the other hand,
when a colored man elapsed me about my
waist, and some one else took hold of By-
ington, and we were separated. I never saw
such an exhibition of cowardice. I did not
handle him as severely as I would had he
showed any resistance, but I whipped him
to my entire satisfaction, and if Byington
and his friends are not satisfied with the
thrashing he has got, I am ready to give
him all that he or they think necessary. I
would not have assaulted him for anything
he said about me had he not accused me of
swearing falsely. I want him to understand
that as an editor he can’t make a statement
like that without taking a whipping.
We shall make short work .at answering the
above. No less than a score of eye witnesses to
Congressman Warner’s attack upon us know
how audaciously false is the above. He has
given the public press three statements. All
defer in essential particulars and all abound
in unmitigated falsehoods. When a man
loses all his own self-respect and knows he
has lost the respect of everybody else, it is
not unusual to find him hiding his shame
under a subterfuge of lies. He knows he
premeditated the attack—approached us and
came armed with a weapon WitliJhat delib-
erate purpose. He knows he never attempted
a “ship” with his “open hand." He knows
hehit us but once, and then only when we
had tripped down in an endeavor to escape
degrading ourselves to the level of Congress.
man Warner by participating in a street- fight.
He knows the only time he hit us upon
the te'mple, it was with his clenched fist and
delivered with all the power his passions had
left him. He knows we could just as easily
have delivered our blow (with the cane he so
kindly loaned us) across the side of his head
and thus have jcapordized his miserable life,
as over the top of his head, to the utter de-
struction of that Congressional silk hat. He
knows the true reason he “did not mark us”
was, that his wind was not equal to his will.
He knows his whole pugilistic exploit of
which he so proudly boasts, commenced and
ended in less than three minutes. He knows
We tossed him his cane while he was “blow-
ing” like a broken-winded horse, and Allison
Williams, the'colorcd man, was hugging him
in a most loving embrace, and enhancing the
comical picture our Congressman presented,
_with his broken-crowned beaver crushed
down over his eyes and ears. He knows no
low was given or received by or from either
party after that colored brother‘s hug. His
lyiug boasts of what he did are only equaled

in contemptible cowardice by-his bullying
threats of what he ’will do. If “11071055 are
easy" with him, we are content. We have
”gone in and out here in Norwalk for forty
years, and never had a personal encounter
with a human being before. If any man,
high or low, has ever decently shown to us
that as a journalist we had done him any in-
justice, we have always been only too glad to
make all the amends in our power. We have
sent to Washington to ascertain if there is
any error in the circumstance of Mr. Warner
having “sworn to his mileage," as he claims
he did not, or in the amOunt which he drew
and which was furnished us by the officer hav-
ing charge of his account and who ought to
have known, and Mr. Warner shall have the
full and fair benefit of the report we get,
be‘it what it may, despite his outrageous
conduct toward us. We confess to the
weakness of having craved the good opinion
of our fellow citizens, but we never
knowingly sought to win it by an un-
worthy act. We have never prided ourselves
upon our prpwess as a pugilist. We are as-
sured Congressman Warner has many times
before this made his record in that line a
matter of prolonged and boastful recital to
his fellow members of the bar. If he feels
no humiliation but is proud of his achieve-
ment and his notoriety thus gained, all over
the country, so be it. We confess ourselves
cowardly enough to have no wish to emulate
him in such a degrading record and exhibi-
tion of brutality.
Mr. Levi Warner as Congressional Repre-
sentative from'Connecticut, will always re-
ceive at our hands the censure or praise his
public acts 'may deserve, unawcd by any of
his silly threats. We “don't scare wortha
cent” when a coward and holly thus expecto-
rates at us.
Levi Warner as an individual, is in our
estimalion, so insignificant, and has so de-
graded himself in the estimation Of all de-
cent peoplc, that‘wc drop him as beneath our
contempt.
We, the subscribers, eye-witnesses to the
assault upon Mr. Byington by Mr. Warner,
hereby certify that the statement in the
GAZETTE EXTRA is substantially true and
correct. Also that after Mr. Byington struck
Mr. Warner with the cane, the parties were
separated; Mr. Byington tossed the cane to
Mr. Warner and no more blows were struck
by either party.

Warner-Phobia. ;
Onc fact is brought out by the correspond-
encc which we are glad to know, and that is
that the Hon. Representative has had enough

better, we certainly can be no worse off than
at present. —StamfmdAdvocale. .
The Hon Levi Warner, of Norwalk, has
made an enviable career as a member of Con-
gress, having voted squarely against the Elec-
toral Fraud on every occasion. But he made
a mistake when, on Friday, he attacked with
physical force the editor of the Norwalk Ga.
sette. , Mr. Warner should understand that
the liberty of the press is the sheet anchor of
republican institutions; and that ’when he
struck, at an editor he was striking at his own
best safeguard. Besides, a law maker should
always honor and support the law. Let Mr.
Warner stand admonished.-,—-N. Y. Sun.
In this week’s Gazette, Mr. Byington cs.
says to answer the attack of our Congressman,
and that he has done it completely and ably,
let a few extracts from his reply bear testi-
mony. Through nearly three columns, Mr.
Byington meets our Representative on every
point and completely uelches him. We
regret that we have not com for the entire
article—Stamford Advocate.
Ninety-five in the shade always develops
hostilities and multiplies felonious assaults.
Norwalk enjoyed that exciting temperature
yesterday, and the result was that Congress-
man Warner, being moved and impelled
thereto by the mercurial devil, did wickedly
attack 'with, a heavy cane, and attempt to
beat on the bead, arms, legs, &c., A. H. By-
ington of the Norwalk Gazette. But Bying-
ton, being the older and spryer of the two,
succ'ecded in wrenching the cane from his
assailant, and before he could stop to think,
being at the moment overcome by surprise,
he struck the aforesaid Warner with it
several times on the osseous and padded por-
tions of his Congressional anatomy. Warner
claims that Byington told the truth about
him in the Gazette, which is not very likely,
but if true it will be held to be a justification
of the assault. Such encounters are unwise,
however, in this weather. Serenity and
tranquility are more becoming and more
comfortable. Byington is not a fighting
character, and he should not be boastful or
overbearing because he happened to take the
champion's belt in this casual sct-to.—N. Y.

Congressman Warner got back pay from
Congress and pay back from Byington.

The Norwalk Gazette replies in a three
column article to Congressman Warners recent
letter which was published in the Farmer
of the 8th. The controversy between Messrs.
\Varner and Byington has become so person-
al in its character that but for the latter's
unwarranted inference from the head-lines
placed over Mr. Warner’s letter by us, we
should not notice at all the Gazette article
but leave it to be dealt with by Mr. Warner
as may seem to him proper. There were
but two points in Mr. Warner‘s letter that
were of general interest, viz., his denial with
reference to the DeForcst petition, and
his declination of a renomination. Accord-
ingly we used those facts in the head-lines.
The Gazette errs when it infers from the
fact that we made Mr. Warner's declination
prominent, that the Former “keenly relished
it.”—Farmer.
“I have no desire to represent this districtin
Congress."
So says the extinguished Congressman
from this district, an we not only propose
to believe him “with our lips,” but are
ready to further state Our conviction that
he never did “desire to represent this dis-
trict in Congress,” because if said desire
had found a lodgment in his breast, he
would have endeavored to represent the
district while he was in Congress and had
'the opportunity of so doing. He was
there and should have represented the dis-
triCt but he was there and only there, while
Barnum and others attended to the wants of
the district so farasany attention was given
to these matters. The district, however, has
no right to complain. _Any district which
sends such a‘weak sister’ to Congress does not
deserve to be represented, or considered in
any manner on the floor of the House; so
we concede that Warner did all that the dis-
trict was entitled to expect when the nomi-
nated him. While Warner says that e does
not desire to represent this district, he is
careful not to say that he does not wish to be
sent to Congress again. There are pecuniary
reasons why he should desire to be re-elect-
ed to. Congress, which Mr. Byington sets
forth In the Norwalk Gazelle quite glaring-
ly. _It Will be seen that this obscure lawyer
received nearly $11,000 for sitting in a part
of two Congresses, during which he was of
no known consequence to Congress, to his
party, or to his district. Moreover he grab-
. (1 $2,500 of back pay extending from the
time that Barnum. resigned the seat till the
time when he entered the House, or five and
one half months before he even pretended
to render any service in Congress.
‘ —Bridgeport Standard.
Since the battle we are inclined more to Mr.
Byingtou's Side. Mr. Warner’s assault shows
the weakness of his cause. If Mr. Byington
made a false statement, about- the mileage it
would have been very easy to have shown it
and have put discredit on all his statements.
-—South Norwalk Sentinel.
It is a very pretty quarrel as it stands, and
upon the whole we feel com elled to congrat-
ulate the people of .Fairfiel and Litchfield
Counties upon Mr. Warner's approaching re
tirement from the public life he never adorn-
ed.—Palladium.
An irate Congressman in Norwalk, Conn..
attempted to cane the editor of the local
newspaper on_Thursday night, for the free-
dom of his criticisms of that ofllcial’s public
course, but the scribe turned, wrestcd the
stick from the Congressman, belabored him
With hi, and then walked OR the field of bat-
tle wrth the weapon as the spoil. That editor
is a creditto his calling, for he showed that
he could hit as hard and effectively as he evi-
dently writes—N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
' Mr. Byington has issued an extra Gazette
giving an account of Congressman Warner’s
attack upon llllll. It is more detailed than
our report, but the main facts are the same.
Warner was armed with a cane; Byington
had nothing. one of his arms was partly dis-
abled by rheumatism, and he is smaller than
Warner, but he got the best of the battle.
Warner's glory waned in the contest-Stand
\
.r
The heated term has apparently affected
the intellects (so-called). of several con ess-
men. Mr. Warner, of Norwalk, not ing
satisfied with the result of a pen-controversy
which he recently undertook to carry on with
Editor Byington, of the Norwalk Gazette, as—
saulted the-latter on Thursday afternoon with
tongue and cane. Mr. Byington is notorious-
ly of a peaceful and forgiving disposition,
but he objected to the caning, and taking
away the irate Congressman’s cane used it to
advantage in smashing the new silk bat
which adorned the statesman’s brow. Mr.
Warner has the satisfaction of ascertaining
that Byington is his superior both with the
quill and cane, and it is not probable that
his pugilstiic exhibition will increase his
chances for a re-election to congress, while
it may bring the editor forward as a very
available antagonist. Congressman Eppa
Hunton, of Virginia, has made an equally
foolish exhibition of himself. In a recent
speech at Alexandria he asserted that he had
favored a certain tax bill for the District of
Columbia at the request of Columbus Alex-
ander, the Washington banker. The latter
denounced the statement as false, whereupon
Hunton demanded a retraction, and not re-
ceiving it, sent Alexander a challenge to a
duel. Alexander has printed the challenge
and informs Hunton he shall always stand
ready as a free citizen to defend himself. The
only result of Hunton’s folly is that he has
made himself under the laws of Virginia in-
eligible for holding any Ofiicc, which is not
such a bad thing after all.—1[artford Cour-
ant.
One scssion in Congress seems to be enough
to stimulate the average Northern Demo-
cratic congressman to ape his Southern
brother in the “code of honor." It would
not do for an amateur to resort to fire-arms
at the first pop, and this we suppose, is why
the fiery congressman from the Fourth dis-
trict in this state, Mr. Warner, used only a
walking cane on Mr. Byington of the Nor-
walk Gazette, who has been telling some un-
pleasant truths about Mr. Warner. Mr. B.,
however, disarmed his assailant, and punish-
ed him with the weapqi. The Hartford
Courant thinks the affair .will lead to the
election to Congress of Byington instead of
Warner. If such good could come out of an
evil, there would be little cause for regret.
Warner is a touchy fellow whose record has
been such that he is no credit to Connecticut
as a representative in the national legislature.
——Jl[eriden Republican.
According to both the combatants, the re-
cent encounter between Messrs. Byington and
Warner be u in the politest fashion. "How
do you do, r. Warner '1’” said Mr. Byington;
to which Mr. lVarner courteously replied:
“Very well, how do you do Mr. Byington,
don‘t you know, you lied when you said I
made a false affidavit in order to obtain
mileage '1’" From this point on the versions
of the affra differ, both, however, agreeing
that Mr. arner’s silk hat was badly dam-
aged b Mr. ,Warner’s cane, an implement
both c aim to have carried Off Victoriously.
We do not understand that Mr. Warner
denies having received the amount of mileage
to which Mr. Byington objected as more than
should have been claimed, but he does ob'cct
to the statement that he swore for it. Ir.
Warner says he is ready to renew the fight,
while Mr. Byington claims credit for not
having endangered the life of his assailant.
Both agree that Mr. Warner began the fray,
and that is quite enough to show that he is a
‘ blackguard, if indeed, he had not already
shown it by his letters. It would not be a
bad idea for him to resign. He is Of no use
at Washington—Palladium. '
They are having hot times in Norwalk.
Congressman Warner recently published a
letter * * * arrainging A. H. Bying-
ton, Editor of the Gazette, for misrepresent-
ing his congressional actions and defaming
his character as an honorable man, and then
undertook to lay Byington out by an attack
upon his integrity and veracity. Byington
takes up his letter in this weeks Gazette ser—
i'at-im and flays him alive. He quotes large-
ly from the Congressional Record, to prove
all the allegations he heretofore made, and
turns his personal attacks back upon him in
a manner that is well calculated to make the
perspiratiOn start out of him (Warner) even
if his skin is as dry and juiceless as that of an
Egyptian mummy. Two columns and a half
of chained lightning such weather as this is
rather a severe castigation for the representa-
tive of the 4th congressional district to bear
with equanimity, but as he threw down the
gauntlet and was spoiling for a public fight,
he can blame no one but himself for the
daibbing he received—The Wolcottville Reg-
ts r.
Congressman Warner has dropped the pen
and taken up the bludgeon. He does not
seem to be master of either. The disgraceful
exhibition he has made of himself goes far to
prove the truth of Mr. Byyton’s charges.
N. . Palladium.
If Congressman Warner will only tell an
admiring public what he did with the $2,500
which constituted his back pay grab, he will
create as lively a sensation as he did by as-
saulting Mr. Byington, and he will come off
better by showing that the cash did not re-
main in his own pocket.—Standard.
CITY NEWS.
BY OUR LOCAL REPORTER.
The ice cream business has been very
good in this city during the hot weather
of the past two weeks, and it has caused a
great deal of uneasiness to our average
young man how he is going to raise money
enough to treat his girl every night.
One of our city residents, the other day,
started out black fishing, and after rowing
about five miles to one of the Sound reefs,
and had got his boat anchored ready to fish,
he took his fishing line from the basket, and
which, by the way, had a heavy sinker at-
tached to it, and as he went to take his seat
in the other end of the boat, the line slipped
from his hand and dropped overboard and
sank. Moral, always take two fishing lines
when you go black fishing.
Generally at this time of the year when
oysters are not good for market our oyster,
men are busy catching seed oysters in vari-
ous parts of the Sound to plant themselves,
or to sell to those who wish to buy, but '
this year they say there are not seed enough
in the Sound to pay for catching.
A man in this city took about three
thousand potato bugs off from a patch of
about a quarter of an acre, and he said it
was not a very good day for potato bugs
either.
One morning last week during the ex-
treme hot- weather, and having a few leisure
hours, we went into the Free Reading and
Coffee Rooms in 'Clark & Lane’s block, for
the first time, and were surprised at the
neatness and coziness about the place.
Around the sides Of the room are arranged
shelves, etc, filled with books, magazines,
papers, and literature of various kinds, and
in looking it over we found it to be of good
common sense reading, none of the “trash”
usually found in such institutions being
among it, which speaks well for the oflleers.
The room is amply supplied with chairs
and tables upon which may be found the
various daily and weekly papers. I The room
is also furnished with a desk, ink, etc., for
those who wish to write, and upon the walls
pictures and maps are neatly arranged. Ad-
joining this room which is supplied with a
limited number of chairs and tables, and one
can get various kinds of refreshments ata
moderate price if they are so inclined. Our
people, and more especially our young
men should appreciate these rooms which
have been instituted for their'special benefit
and improvement, and its officers shouldjbe
encouraged by seeing them well patronized.
\ Mr. Comstock, a young man in the employ
of G. W. Day, Grocer, was prostrated by
the heat last Friday while delivering grocer-
ies. At last accounts he was doing well.
The Alert Yacht Club arrived home from
their cruise “Down East,” last Saturday
about noon. They are all tanned up, and
they look like regular “old salts.” They say
they were well received by the people down
east. and that they had a very enjoyable
time.
The temperance meetings held in Music
Hall, Sunday afternoons, will be discontin-
ued through the hot weather but in the early
fall they will be continued again with re-
newed energy. Philip Phillips, the singer
will be here three nights, and prominent
speakers have already been engaged.

last Thursday by melted iron. The melted
iron runs from the furnace into vessels from
which it is poured into the moulds. The
vessel that Ammerscn used some water had
accidentally been spilled into it, and as the
molten iron ran into it there was an explo-

MESSRS. EDITORS :—
Last Summer I put, an advertisement in
your paper calling attention to one of the dif-
crent brands of Shingles that I keep in stock
and stated therein that I would sell the
“Oscar Fenn. Plaincd Parallel Shingles,” and
'warrant them perfect in. all respects and with-
out taper, being manufactured upon a Gang
Edger or double saw jointcr. I have had of
this brand of shingles since then One Million
and Twenty Thousand, and have yet to hav‘e
the first shingle returned to me, so that my
warrant has hccnfullg sustained. I shall con-
tinue to sell them warranted ashcrctoforc un-
til f urther notice. Every hunch is marked
“ Oscar Fenn, Warrantcd Parallel."
I shall always have in stock a full variety
of shingles both rived and sawed, of first and
second quality and would request an examin-
ation of the same by any one contemplating
purchasing. I intend to keep at least as good
an assortment as any one in this section of
Connecticut, of all kinds of wood required
for building or manufacturing purposes, and
to keep it in good order. 'Lumbcr delivered
by rail or teams at the shortest notice anp
best rates.
