, . n i There was a Congressman named Warner 3 n to
. Death'of Dr. Samuel Lyrics.
”Doctor Samuel Lyrics, in. 1)., died at his
home in this town Monday morning at 4
o‘clock. For many yeam, and during all his
active professional life,lre had been a leading
citizen of Norwalk. Immediately after his
graduation from the Yale Medical School,
he located himself among us and from that
moment, actively identified himself with our
people and took especial interest in whatever
enterprises promised to promote the wellfare,
of our people or the growth and prosperity
of the town.
A man of his fine natural capabilities and
thorough culture, was not long in attaining
eminence both in his profession and as a man
of rare wisdom and sound judgment in all
social and business matters. At the time of
his death, few Physicians were better known
throughout our county or state or stood
higher in professional repute. lie was
among the first to be called in all critical
cases of illness and as widely consulted in
mere matters of business where sagacity and
sound advice were sought. He enjoyed to
the largest degree, the confidence and esteem
of his fellow-citizens and in the homes of the
rich and the poor alike, his was always a
welcome and loved presence. At the time
of his death he was President of the Fairfield
County Savings Bank, Treasurer of the
Norwalk Fire Insurance Company, hav-
ing succeeded the late Eben ,Hill
in that rCSponsible position. He was
also a director in the National Bank
of N orwalk, one of the Trustees of St. J ohn’s
Lodge, a Vestryman of St. Paul’s Church,
with many other minor but not less respon-
sible trusts. He has represented our town in
the legislature, and but for his disinclinatidn
and refusal to hold office, would have served
many more legislative terms. He was most
active and useful in‘the introduction of our
public water. and one of our first Water
Commissioners. He was long a member of
the State Board of Directors for the Insane
Asylum, in which humane service he took
great interest and evinced special aptitudes.
He was an ardent patriot throughout the war
and since its close, no man has cherished a
warmer interest in the “returned soldier," or
more helpful sympathy for the families of the
fallen. For a few years past, overwork and
mental anxiety had so lowered his vital powers
thatlhe subsequently experienced a sort of sun
stroke. Even this did not seem to restrain
him from responding to the incessant calls
upon him for professional services, and as
was stated by us in our report of his last
attack, he was again stricken, when near his
home and returning from an errand of mercy
to a sick patient at Five Mile River. From
this last attack he never rallied but for the
briefest periods. On Sunday be recovered
sensibility for a short interval and recognized
his family and friends, but this was succeed-
ed by another clouding of his brain, and it
soon became apparent to his attending phy-
sicians that his end was fast approaching.
Few men could be taken fromuswhose death
would leave so wide a chasm. None more
universally missed and regreted. None more
widely respected. No one more deeply belov-
ed. His high, professional reputation; a
name unsullied by a single unworthy deed; a
whole communities,reverent and ardent love;
an all-prevailing sense of personal bereave-
ment; is the rich and imperishable legacy left
his stricken family and the wider circle of
relatives and intimate friends.
A Public Meeting.
The undersigned, impressed with a sense
of the public loss sustained by the town of
Norwalk in the death of her eminent citizen
and benefactor, would unite in inviting a
meeting of our people at Lynes Opera House,
to-day, (Tuesday) at 4 o‘clock p. m., to take
such action in reference to this public be-
reavement as may be deemed proper.

DB. CHARLES P. UHLE.
At Hackettstown. New Jersey, on Friday
last, after a long and wearisomc' sickness,
died Dr. Charles P. Uhle. He was still a
young man, being but in the meridian of
life, yet he had been along and patient suf-
ferer; had been hoping against hope, and
fighting nobly and bravely against the fell
disease which had taken hold of him, but all
in vain; he has passed away to the bourne
from which no traveler returns.
Dr. Uhle and his brother Herbert L ,
(whose death occurred but a few months
ago,) came here in the summer of 1867, and
purchasing the interest of Mr. E. Blackman,
in his Main street Drug Store, entered into
and carried on the drug business for several
years; the elder, Charles P. being at the
same time engaged in his medical studies;
they made many friends and ware apparent-
cntly successful in their business. Upon
finishing his studies and taking his diploma
as a physician, Dr. Uhle left the store and it
was then conducted by his brother Herbert
until his death. The Doctor entered upon
the practice of medicine here, and was prov-
ing quite successful and becoming popular,
when he was seized with an incurable disease
against which he bravely fought, often leav-
ing his sick bed to go and visit patients ; but
this disease had too strong a hold and he was
obliged to give up all thoughts of further
practice and patiently await the end, for
which we think he was fully prepared. He
will be missed and his memory fondly cher-
ished by a host of friends in this vicinity.
New Route Down East.
As so many Fairfield County people have
ahabit of spending August at Mt. Desert
and other portions of Maine, they will find
the route from New York to New London
by those elegant Sound Steamers, and then
from New London next morning cross the
country by rail to Portland, a new, economi-
cal and most enjoyable route of summer
travel. ‘
Brother Henry Randle has “disguised him-
self’! so effectually by shaving off his “noble
heard” of twenty-five year's growth, that
some explanation of his strange transmogri-
fication is necessary. It seems Randlo is,,
like ourselves, a peace man, yet it has been
his duty by appointment to collate and per-
fect our town’s milila enrollment. He has
to visit the homes of the rich and the poor,
the learned and the ignorant, and ergo Con-
gressmen, as he approaches the subject with
that insinuating delivery for which he is
noted, many anxious mothers get the impres-
sion that another war is impending, and the
enrolling officer is stealthily seeking her male
progeny above the age of eighteen for the
deadly purposes of a drqfl for the coming
rebellion. These irate mothers do not attack
the innocent officers of tip law with canes,
like a Congressman, but by hair-pullings and
face-scratchiugs and the like, and of 'course
Handle—well, no matter—Randle is a pru-
dent man, and he don't propose to tempt
them with unusual facilities, that's all.
The Jarvis Summer Institute Hotel is
again filled with boarders. The General has
over one hundred guests at his shaming and
healthy inland hostlery, and nearly every
boat and train brings him more. The Ives’
string orchestra and Band go up regularly
every Saturday evening and stay over Sun-
day—aiding the guests, (among _wlrom are
several superior vocalists.) in their regularly
established Sunday evening praise meetings,
which take place on the lawn at 6 o clock.
large amount of the mechanical work. Mr.
Seymour has probably personally planned
and wrought, in the erection of more first-
class buildings during his long life, as an op-
erating mechanic, than any other man now
living in our State. Besides being a master
of his trade, hcdias been a man of first-class
taste and thorough, practical judgment, and
the architecture of our town has for three-
quarters of a century borne convincing and
most gratifying evidence of his superior skill
as a Builder. He was the builder of Lock-
wood's Hall, of the Norwalk Lock Factory“,
the GAZETTE Banmc, and many other of
our most noted public edifices and beautiful
private residences. It is indeed a rare and
beautiful sight to see this cider and yet ro—
bust and active artisan still diligently plying
the trade he learned sixty years ago and still
enjoying, as he always has done, the highest
esteem and confidence of his fellow citizens.
Mr. Seymour‘s robust constitution and uni-
forme good health prove the “divinity of
labor" in the manner his “good digestion waits
on appetite.” This aged hero worker is a
picture of a grand and noble manhood, and
pity ’tis that more of mankind have not his
courage to toll in the world’s great vineyard,
and to do with their might what the hand finds
to do. In physical, more than mental labor, is
health of body and peace of mind secured.
And yet how distasteful and “unfashionable”
has it become to the multitudes of mankind.
"Do not then stand Idly waiting
For some great work to do.
Go toil in any vineyard,
Do not fear to do or dare,
It" you want a field of labor,
You can find it anywhere.”

'l‘lrc Phoebe Comstock Estate.
The sale of the Household Furniture and
personal effects of the late Mrs. Elizabeth
Webb, which took place on Thursday last
and which effects had descended .from the
aged Mrs. Phoebe Comstock, long since
passed away to glory. scatters and extin-
guishes the last reminiscences of one of
the most interesting and historical of any
of the earliest settlers of the town of Nor-
walk. Miss Phoebe Comstock"—was adirect
descendant of the Benedict family who
crossed over the ocean in the Mayflower on
her first voyage, and several articles of her
furniture were traditionally reputed to have
been brought over in that vessel by her
ancestor. Chief among these was a bureau,
made of English oak, which was knocked
down by Jas. Mitchell the auctioneer, to
Hon. D. P. Ely for $25. Mr. Ely certainly
has a rare treasure as there is no question
asto the piece of furniture being more than
two centuries old. The corner chair reput-
ed to have been the one in which the tory
Governor Tryon sat on the crest of Grum-
man'sHill, whilst his red-coat troops were
burning the town, was purchased by the
Rev. C. M. Selleck. The favorite “spare"
parlor chair of the aged colored servant
Onesimus, or “0’ne,” as he was familiarily'
called, was purchased by Mr. Panton, while
the ancient mirror and secretary were pur-
chased by Mrs. Dr. Parker of New Canaan.
Some rare and unique potteries were bought
by Mrs—Nash of Bridgeport, as was a
powder born made and carved and worn
by Miss Phoebe's brother in the old revo-
lutionary war. Mr. McCready purchased
eight high straight backed chairs of very
great age—certainly not less than a bun-
dred and fifty years. The old spn’g wheels
and reels for wool and flax and the old
fiax hetchd, were objects of peculiar in-
terest to the younger portions of the assembled
crowd, who stared at such, implements of
aby-gone age as curiously as they would
have done at a Giraffe. The band spun
and worn linen and woolen sheets were
interesting curiosities to the ladies, who
were present in large numbers. Mr. Wm.
L. Waring, the bale executor must have
realized quite a sum on account of the great
age and antique designs of these novelties.
So vanishes human lives, and so are scat-
tered sacred mementoes cherished, through
long years, by those who have lived in the
days that have gone and are themselves dc-
parted.
J. W. Fairbanks, Esq, Master of the
Worcester High School, having been unani-
mously elected Principal of Williston Semi-
nary, at East Hampton, Mass, by the trus
tees of that institution, has formally accepted
the same. His salary is to be $2,800 and
a residence. To accept this position, be
rclinquisircs the Principalshrp of the largest
High School in Massachusetts,—a school in
which fifteen teachers are employed—eight
gentlemen and seven ladies. Williston
Seminary is one of the best endowed
schools in the country, the founder having
bequeathed to it $600,000 at his death,
in addition to some $275,000 previously
spent upon it. The Worcester papers speak
in the highest terms of Mr. Fairbanks, ami
congratulate the Seminary upon securing
his services, but regret to have him leave
Worcester claiming that their High School
has never succeeded so well as under his
able management. Mr. Fairbanks numerous
friends in Norwalk will be glad to learn that
he is so well appreciated in Massachusetts.
The excursion of the Methodist Churches
on Thursty last ;to Branford Point by the
steamer Laura, was. as a matter of course,
asuccess—the day being one of the pleas-
antest of the sellson—a large and perfectly
enjoyable party being aboard—the Music
of the Westport Band a charming surprise—
thc officers of the boat courteous and atten-
tivd—the committees all working with a
will—the refreshments by Fred Mead, first
class and in bountiful profusion—and lastly
but not least, everybody, wife and child
happy. The Westport Band appeared in
a brand new uniform,—blue coat, white
pants, and 7th Reg. cap and plumes; their
music was finely rendered and is spoken of
as being equal to any previous excursion.

Through—the Dark Continent.
Harper & Brother are about publishing
STANLEY'S own narrative of his exploration
through Africa and adventures on the great
central lakes and on his voyage down the
Congo from its source to its mouth. It
has been received and read with great avidi-
ty by the English critics, who unanimously
pronounced it the greatest work of modern
times. Of :course every American will
want to read Stanley’s own story of this,
the greatest achievement of the age, for all
or nearly all, must have been interested in
boyhood’s days with the exciting tales of
Mango Park and the travelers who from
time to time have essaycd to unravel the
difficult problem of the source of the Congo.
The publishers announce that they have
secured the copyright at a great expense
and that it will be published in two large
octavo volumes, handsomely and profusely
illustrated from sketches made by Stanley
himself. They also announce that "an at-
tempt is making to impose upon the pub
lie 9. spurious work purporting to be a narra-
tive of Stanley’s achievements and discover-
ies," and say it is “a garbled and incom-
plete story, made up from letters necessarily
imperfect and fragmentary. ‘Many most in-
teresting and important details were omitted,
which appear in' Mr. Stanley's book, and
which are necessary to a complete under-
standing cf the great work, he has accom-
plished." A

Poor Congresman Warner can’t keep still,

“Oh, what a tangled web they weave.

The Fare to New York is $1.15 and from

have been entitled to under the law no recent-

to the actual coat of travel; As it was, he
pocketed $109.20. Wasn't it a lucky
circumstance for our “back-pay” representa-

restored before he blundered into Congress?

The Mileage Question.
We give on the outside of today’s GAZETTE
the law governing the salaries of certain pub-
lic officers therein stated, and also mileage to
Members of Congress.
The act of March 3d, 1873. fixed the com-
pensation of Congressmen at seven thousand,
five hundred dollars, and allowed actual tras-
ell'ng expenses, which were “certified to.”
This act was repealed on the 20th of January,
1874, leaving the compensation and mileage
as fixed by the several laws enacted prior to
the act of March 3d, 1873.
The present compensation is $5,000 per
annum, and mileage at 20c per mile to and
200 from the seat of government for each
regular session.
As Congressman Warner entered Congress
only December 4th, 1876, and drew pay from
the J une previous, be was not even required
to “certify to his actual traveling expenses,”
and this is a full explanation of his having
taken so much more than his actual traveling
expenses, as there was no occasion for his
having to make oath or to “certify” thereto.
This is, however, but of the very slightest
consequence. He did draw and use the
money, andnow the new and greater ques-
tion than all others, is thus foreshadowed by
the Bridgeport Standard:
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 man pocket—Standard.
What is here so vaguely hinted at is shown
in our correspondent’s letter from Bridgeport
to be an exposure of the disbursement of
Mr. Warner’s $2,500 of “back pay,” to pay
up contracts made with the naturalized voters
at from $2.50 to $5.00 per head for voting
be summoned to Bridgeport at once to inves-
tigate this new development of corruption
and fraud! We otherwise learn that the dis-
affection and disgust felt and expressed by
the foreign voters there, is giving our demo-
cratic friends the greatest anxiety and alarm
for fear of a disastrous bolt from the “reg-
ular ticket" this fall. We do await further
developments with absorbing interest.

Special meeting of Fire Police, Wednes-
day cvening at 8; o’clock.
The Adelphl.
Some parties from motives best known to
themselves, have tried to create a feeling of
distrust as to the safety of our New York
Steamer. We are in receipt of a communi-
cation from Commodore Perkins, in which
he assures us nothing canbc further from
the truth. Mr. White had the Adelphi
thoroughly overhauled and strengthened
before she was put on the Norwalk route
and the Government Inspectors. have made
the most thorough examination of her hull
and tested her machinery, and their certifi-
cates arc conspicuously hung up on the boat.
The boat is moreover manned by a compo
tent and careful officers, and we are assured,
there are not the slightest grounds for the
uneasiness which has so industriously been
sought to be created and spread abroad.
As a further and complete test of the
Adelphi's staunchness and seawortiriness, we
might mention her trip up Friday afternoon,
during one of the severest wind gales and
heaviest seas of the season, reaching Keyser
Island twenty minutes after five.
P. S.--Since the above. was written we
have received from Commodore Perkins the
following expert-and official testimonials;

This is to certify that we have thoroughly
overhauled the hull of the steamboat Adel-
phi, in May and June, 1878. That in doing
so We used over eighteen thousand feet of
new timber, to fasten which. we used seven-
teen hundredpounds of iron bolts and spikes.
and in our department alone there were three
hundred and eighty-four days work done.
The material used were the best and the work
was done in a thorough workman-like man-.
nor, by days’ work, under skillful foremen.

This is to certify that I hauled out on my
Railway the steamer Adelphi, the latter part
of June, 1878, for general examination, and
to smooth (kiwn her copper where it was re-
quired. We found the hull of the Adelphi
to be in first class condition, and I believe her
to be sound and sea worthy in every r t.

In addition to the above it may be stated
that on the 25th day of June, (only a month
ago,) the United States Steamboat Inspectors
thoroughly examined the Adelphi in every
part. not only her hull but her boilers, engines
and fittings, and their certificate, under oath,
is on record in the Government ofiice at
Washington, certifying that the Adelphi, is
sound and in good condition and in every
respect in conformity. to the laws of the
United States and bears the seal of the Nation.

Death of Minnie Warren.
Minnie Warren, the youngest, brightest
and prettiest of Mr. Barnum’s dwarfs, died
in Middleboro, Mass, on Tuesday evening, in
childbed. She was the youngest of a family
of eight children, all of whom, excepthersclf
and her sister Lavinia, now Mrs. Tom Thumb
were of ordinary size. .When Minnie was
eleven years of age she joined the Tom Thumb
troupe, and for fifteen years ,she travelled
almost continually, visiting nearly all the civ-
ilized parts of the globe. She was 40 inches
in bet ht, and never attained a weight to ex-
ceed E5 pounds. being considerably shorter
and more slender than her sister, Mrs.Thumb.
She was 27 years of age at the time of her
death. When Tom Thumb was married to
Lavina Warren the general opinion was that
Commodore Nutt would take Minnie for his
bride; but the Commodore had set his affec~
tions on Lavinia, and his little heart was
blighted when Gen. Tom Thumb won her
from him. -
A few {fiesta a o Barnum found another
liliputian, ajor eweli, who was added to
the Tom ’1 humb combination. The Major
was bright and intelligent, and he and Minnie
became great friends. About a year ago they
were married,and they lived happily togeth-
er with Gen. Thumb and wife in Middleboro.
Their last tour together was in the Western
States, from which they recently returned.
Mrs. Newell is described as looking for-
ward to maternity with great anticipations
of happiness and no misgivings. Her has.
band however had gioo forebodin , and
expressed the greatest solrcitude. T e child
died at birth. It weighed five pounds and
ten ounces. Four hours later the mother
died from exhaustion. .
for him. The Potter committee which has just .
been hopelessly stuck by Sherman, ought to '
ears with the ends starched asstifI asthe
horns on a cow, and such white ties! and a
shirt front of pearly whiteness, with dia-
mond ('3) studs; and boots polished like
ebony. Others are dressed with not so much
care, and still others are dressed carelessly,
rough and in a don’t care manner. It is you
see, a great “hang-out" as is termed in a vul-
gar phrase, or, as more properly termed a
place to congregate, and eye and stare at
every lady that may happen to pass, and pass
all sorts of remarks upon her looks and
dress; and if she passes down the whole
line without getting tobacco juice on her
clothes she may consider herself fortunate
for the sidewalk is generally covered with
this filth; besides her ears are invariably
saluted with some vulgar jest or words not
fit for any people to hear. There are numer-
ous “hang-outs" in this city, but the particu-
lar place we-bave reference to is in front of
the Old Well Hotel property, and more
especially in front of the lamp at the end of
the cross-walk, which is sometimes so
crowded with these “hangers" that people
can hardly pass. It is the duty of the police
to keep the sidewalks clear for pedestrians
to pass to and fro, but in this they seem to
neglect their duty. Will they please keep
the sidewalks clear of “hangers," and now,
reader, next Saturday night as you pass this
place. see who among your acquaintances is
a “hanger."
Besides the tramp nuisance, our city is in-
fested with Italian rag-pickers, the dirtiest
and filthiest set of human beings one wishes
to meet. They go about from house to house
picking up rags, old paper, etc., which they
deposit in a dirty looking bag, and it is W0“
derful the largeyloadatgey will carry on their
backs. . They may be of some benefit to the
city wherein they take away a good deal of
old rubbish, etc., that would otherwise be
left to rot. and thereby cleanse the city of some
of its impurities, but at the same time one
has to keep an eye on the clothes that are
left on the grass to bleach or dry, or the rag-
picker will slip a shirt or something of that
kind in his bag by “mistake.” as was the
case with some of our neighbors who caught
one of these sons of Sunny Italy slipping
some clothing and a pair of boots into his

out of the yard bejbecame exceedingly wrath,
but at the mention of the word “police" he
took it into his head to depart.
Daily pleasure parties may be seen passing
through our city on their way to Roton
Point or Bell‘s Island. A large number

General Taylor's, new brick block on
Washington street is now being rapidly
pushed forward, and when completed will
undoubtedly present a fine appearance.
We have. it from pretty good authority
that as soon as the sewer is built on Waslr-
ington street Mr. Louder intends building
another story on his block corner’ Main and
Washington streets. This would add much
to the appearance of our city. _ '
Rev. Mr. Dunning gave a temperance
lecture in lire Congregational church Sun-
day evening 21st, on “Why Did God Make
Alcohol," and we hear it spoken of as very
E interesting.
The largest excursion out of Norwalk this
:season was that given by the M. E. churches
‘ to Brandford Point, by the steamer Laura,
‘last Thursday, fully eleven hundred people
being on board. The weather was all that
could be expected, and all had a very fine
time. The music was furnished by the West-
port band and was good.
A very sad accident happened in this city
last Tuesday. Mr. Noble Lyons, an old man
aged about 65 years, an employee at the hat
factory of Messrs.‘Smith & Palmer, while
walking on the railroad on his way home to
dinner, 'was struck by tire 12 in train and al-
most instantly .killcd. 3 Mr. M. Smith, who
saw him when he was struck, says that just
before the train reached him his hat blew off
and on the track of the approaching train.
He made a spring for his hat, but before he
could get off the track the engine struck him
and knocked him down the embankment.
Mr. Lyons,we believe, was a native of Dan.
bury, and had been in the employ of Smith
6:: Palmer but a short time, and universally
liked by all who knew him. He was a wid-
ower and had relatives in Bridgeport and
Wilton who took charge of his remains. He
formerly resided in Savannah, Ga., and had
many friendszthere; he also acted as one of
the pall bearers at the funeral of Mrs. Eliza-
beth A. Webb only a few days since.
Mr. Charles E. Comstock, an old resident
of this city, died at his home, at Wilson's
Point, last Monday.
The contract for building the sewers
through Washington and Main streets, has
been awarded to Charles T. Leonard & Son,
of Norwalk, at the following prices, 15x20
inch pipe 73 cents per foot; 12 inch pipe 51
cents per foot; catch basins $38; manholes
$1.50 per foot; rock excavation $3 per yard.
Another yacht club, named Columbia, has
been organized in this city. All the officers
have been elected, and their first trip will be
up the Hudson sometime in August.
' One of the best clam-bakes we have enjoy-
Ied for sometime was at the Dorlon House,
one day last week. The bakes gotten up by
Mr. Foote can’t be beat.
There has been a deal of unhappiness ex-
pressed over the ruins of the burned Old
Well Hotel. If the city and railroads would
only purchase this lot, or the corner portion
of it, and throw it into the public highway,
it would be making the wisest and best pos-
sible use of the ground, audit would be an
improvement that none would ever regret.

It was Sunday evening, the hour near nine,
they were sitting in the parlor talking cupid
when Jimme saidMMamie you look tired,

replied"‘you_ have no idea of the amount of

here she was interrupted by a gentle rap at

dumbfounded, he thought that some one else
had come to court Mamie. He‘ summoned
courage enough to ask “Who that was 2”
“Obi that is my little cousin from the city,

she called Nettie in the room. “Ain't she
sweet, what does Nettie want 7" said Mamie.

' “Uncle Ed. Lockwood" once and for the
only time in his life, got stuck with an
abominabiy mean and vicious brute of a
horse. It was his fancy to boast and brag
about and exaggerate “to the fullest possible
extent the good qualities and beauty of his
beast. One day a fellow townsman (Jim
Mitchell we suspect) asked “Uncle Ed." how
in the world he could fib so about that horse ?.
“For God’s sake, don't he need it i" was the
instant reply. Congressman Warner seems
to be practicing this dodge just now.
For many years the people of Roxhury,
Litchfield County, have observed the singu-

place last Monday, the Rev. Messrs. Cooley

Our Congressman has also sent to the
Eastern papers “his card” which gets the
following responsive greeting from the Pal-
ladium and Courant:—
In regard to Congressman Warner’s story
we Will make no comment. We give it to
our readers as he sends it to us. But in
regard to his statement concerning the dis-
patch to the Associated Press we do have
something to say. He satisfied himself, he
says, that it was inspired by Mr. Byington
and sent to the agent here to be sent
to New York. Congressman Warner ought
to _be a happy and contented man, for
hers more easily satisfied than any other
man we have ever known. His statement
about the dispatch is totally false. We
know that the Associa (1 Press agent in
this city has never seen Ir. Byington to his
own knowledge; that he has never had any
communication with him on this or any
subject; and that the dispatch was not
inspired by him or any other person except
the agent himself.—1’alladium.
Congressman Warner has got a mistaken
notion in his head that the public cares
whether he or Mr. Byington suffered most
severely in the recent personal re-contre. He
is furnishing broadcast “cards to the public,”
in which he corrects the original associated
gens report of the affair, and asserts that
yington did not hit him at all, except as to
his hat, while be punished the editor quite
severely. Mr.Warner ought to know that even
if he had knocked out Byington’s teeth,
goughed out one of his eyes, and “chawed”
off an ear, the public would still consider
that the man who began the assault was the
greatest sufi'erer, so far as reputation and
character are concerned. —Hartford Courant.
Our readers are already familiar with the
opinions expressed by the democratic as well
as the republican press, and the following
from his own party organ, here in Norwalk,
would be enough to start the perspiration
out of any ordinary democratic ofilcc hold-
er :- ~
K
From the Norwalk Democrat. .
DISGRACED.
As a Democratic journalist, it becomes
our unpleasant duty to chronicle the par-
ticulars of an affair that took place in our
borough last Thursday evening, that brings
damning disgrace and shame generally,
upon every Democrat in the Fourth District,
and particularly upon the individual that
they have elected to represent them in Con-
gress two years ago, loci wamr. For the
particulars of this disgraceful affair we give
the statement of both parties * '* * * *
We would gladly refrain from referring to
it, but as our duty as a journalist will not
permit of our taking such a course, and our
duty as a Democrat editor demands that we
should condemn the action of this man,
warner, as he deserves, for thus humiliating
and disgracing the party that has so highly
honored him. For we can conceive of no
just cause or reason for taking the course
that he did, by placing himself in the posi-
tion of a common street fighter and bruiser.
' * " * Mr. warner became a candidate
for the position; he had then never held
office and never been prominent in political
circles, but was considered to be a fair third
rate lawyer, with arcputation for honesty
and fair dealings; a negative character of
whom nothing could be said to his discredit,
and of good Democratic antecedents; as
such he wasnominated * * * * * * *
Whether the particulars of it as detailed by
Mr. Byington or by Mr. warner over his
own name * .* * they are alike disrepu-
table and disgraceful to him alone, and we
confess that we cannot see wherein the con-
duct of Mr. Byington on that occasion was
in any respect different from that that any
gentleman should take when publicly
ed by abully or ruffian;
himself by all the means in his power. If
he had shot warner down in his defense he
would have been fully justified in the act.
And more especially would he be so now
should he again be attacked, after reading
the concluding sentences of Mr. warner’s
letter of July 19th. “I regret that Mr. By-
ington seems to think he did not get so
severe a beating its he expected. He would
have received more badiie offered more resis-
tance to it. If, however, he is not satisfied
with the amount received, my omission of the
balance can be easily corrects .” This can be
have but one interpretation, which is that
Mr. war-nor intends to renew the attack
when opportunity offers. We trust that
should he do so, he will receive such treat.
ment as his acts deserve.
It is with deep grief that we are thus in
truthfulness and justice compelled to speak
of the man who now represents (mis-repre-
sents would he more proper) us in Congress,
and whom we used every effort in our power
to elect; we can only say that we are thank-
ful that his term there will be of short du—
ration. lt was entirely unnecessary for him
to advise * * that ire is not a candidate
for rc-election. The only course now open
to him by which ire can in the least atone to
his disraced constituency for his conduct is for
him to immediately send his resignation to
Governor Hubbard -and permit them to
elect a decent man to represent them for the
balance of the term.
Congressman Warner hasn’t knocked all
our “bowlcs of compassion” out of us and
we are not going to stand quietly by, and
see him thus struck after he is down. We
know how it is ourself ; and we know its
mean and cowardly and the Democrat shan’t
do this without our vigorous protest. But
to be entirely serious,— as much as the re-
putable democrats of the 4th District re-
gret Mr. Warner’s folly and disgrace,there
is no one who so thoroughly and sincerely
regrets it we would fain believe, as Mr.
Warner himself.

With the result of a pen controversy which
he recently undertook to carry on with Edi-
tor Byington of the Norwalk Gazette. assault-
ed the latter on Thursday afternoon with
tongue and canc., 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 ad-
vantage iri smashing the new silk but which
adorned the statesman’s brow. Mr. Warner
has the satisfaction of ascertaining that By-

cane, and it is not probable that his pugilistic
exhibition will increase his chances for a re-
election to congress, while it may bring the
editor forward as a very available antagonist.

We copy the above to show how kindly the
respectable press deals with our quondam
Brother Byington, and also just to emphasize

The New York Graphic is soon to illustrate
Norwalk, but it is hinted that the Police
Gazette will illustrate first. The Graphz'c’a
pictures will endeavor to show the culture
and refinement of the town 'by reproducing
its natural and artistic beauties; its churches,
schools and educational institutions, and also
its manifold evidences of a high civilization.
It will give, too, many of its elegant man-
sions, built with care and taste—the out-
growth of progression. The police paper
will represent an American Congressman in
front of the post ofiicc in the same town,
clubbing an editor, calling him a liar, and
slapping him in the face. This the Gazette
'will dub the “first round.” Another picture
wiiibe given of the same Congressman in
the embrace of a negro, who rescues him, his
smashed hat down on his eyes and ears, and
the editor belaboring him with the bludgeon
the Congressman brought to the fray. When
you have looked on the Graphics pictures,
look also on the Gazette’s, and think that it is
in Norwalk, Connecticut, these illustrations
of civilization are found—Stamford Advo-
cafe.
The Norwalk Gazette blazes with the nar-
ration of Congressman Warner's essay at fis-
ty cuffs. The said Congressman gave an ac
count of the affair which the editor examines
and shows that its statements are 81' widely
at variance with the facts as to indicate that
Warner would be a proper witness fore the
Pottering committee. If a couple f loafers
had indulged in a street fight the p ce would
have promptly arrested the aggres. r and had
him in the lockup. _Why not on, aw for all
and if a Congressman stoops to a )ully’s trade
why not give him a bully’s punishmedt? It
is not creditable to the police :u‘tlrorities of
Norwalk that Warner has not been arrested
and punished for his assault men Byington.

The little unpleasantncss tween Con-
gressman Warner and E r Byington,
serves to remind New Ca ites :of a lit-
tle incident which occurred 1 re a few years
ago, wherein the aforesaid Warner drew a
revolver and attempted tr righten a man
from doing his dut acc , ing to the in-
structions. Geo. eed, .' mefly one of
Little Phil’s rough riders, ,epped up to the
belligerent Warner and told him that if he
didn't put up that little 70p gun he would
smash his——liead. Warner is, or was at
that time, a discreet man, and immediately
complied—New Canaanfilersengcr.
They that take the sford shall perish by

In the war of words; that has been waged
for several weeks between Warner and
Byington, the former came out second best.
Indignant and smartlng under defeat, the
Congressman resolved to have r-e-v-e-n-g-el
Accord' gly he met .' the Editor in the Post
Officefid at once opened fire. At the end
of th_ first round he found himself hora dc

5Mr. Byington executes a war dance over
t c remains of Mr. Warner in this week’s
i sac of the Norwalk Gazette. Instead of
carrying ”soft the Congressman’s cane as a
trophy, Mr. ington generously returned it
to its owner. Mr. Byington contrasts Gover-
nor Englisii’s course in refusing to accept
pay for the days that elapsed between Senator
Ferry’s death and the day the Governor took
the oath as Senator Ferr-y’s successor, with
Mr. Warner's course in drawing three thou-
sand dollars two days after he had been sworn
in, a large portion of which he could not
have earned by service, as he was not a mem-
ber of Congress while it accrued, he having
been elected to fill Mr. Barnum’s unexpired
term. Governor English’s action in the
action in the matter was characteristically
delicate and high-minded, but it is asking too
much to Expect that Mr. Warner should
not have taken what was his by law and
custom. Indeed, we question whether Mr.
Byington would have been more scrupulous
under similar circumstances. Very much
better men than Mr. Warner did precisely
as he did, and if we are not mistaken, one of
them was a republican Congressman from
this State. The case against Mr. Warner is
strong enough without exaggerating his
iniquities. He seems to be a weak person
' with a bad tempest—Palladium.

La Summer I put an advertisement in
you paper calling attention to one of the dif-
ere brands of Shingles that I keep in stock
stated therein that I would sell the
‘fOscar Fenn Plaincd Parallel Shingles,” and
warrant them pcifcct in all respects and with-
out laper, being manufactured upon a Gang
Edger or double saw jointer. I have had of
this brand of shingles since then One Million
and Twenty Thousand, and have yet to have
the first shingle returned to me, so that my
warrant has been. fully sustained. I shall con-
tinue to sell them warranted as heretofore un-
til further-notrcc. Every bunch is marked
“Oscar Fenn, Warranted Parallel."
I shall alwaps have in stock a full variety
of shingles both rived and sawed, of first and
second quality and would request an examin-
purchasing. I intend‘tokecp 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. Lumber delivered
