WILTON.
The Kent Avenue M. E. Church is receiv-
ing a new roof. ,
Many of our readers who were acquainted
with the Rev. Dr. Hall, formerly pastor of
the Congregational Church in this place,
will be pained to learn of his severe illness.
Dr. Hall was visiting at Binghamton and
while conducting church service he was at-
tacked with hemoragc of the lungs and he
now lies in a precarious state.

sey furnished the lumber.
The Town Records, about which so much
has been said, will not be removed to the

legal authority for not removing them, upon
a vote by acclamation, no mention of the
matter having been made in the call of the

On last Friday evening the republicans of
this town held a caucus and nominated
Stiles Judson, Esq, for the General Assem—
bly. It was an enthusiastic caucus and be—_,
fore adjouruing' all joined with a will in
singing "‘ch We’ll rally ’round the flag
boys.” Mr. Judson is a thorough republican
and will be elected by a handsome majority.
In the absence of any mud to throw at him
the democratic registrar of this district is
circulating a story that he (Mr. Judson) is
subject to fits of insanity and had to be sent
to the retreat .for the insane at short inter-
7.113. We, are requested to state that the
story is an infamous falsehood from begin—
ning to end, but it is in perfect keeping with
the general course of the democratic party.
The republicans of Bridgeport have nomi-
nated for representatives, George Mallory
and Rowland B. Lacy, Esqrs. Better nomi-
nations could not he made, even the
EU’NZCI‘ says it has no mud to throw at them.
Mr. Mallory is the president of the Mallory
Manufacturing Company, a courteous oblig-
ing gentleman and the father of theQell
known mayor, William H. Mallory whose
portrait appears in the' “History of Connecti-
cut during the Rebellion.” He is disposed
to be liberal in his politics but never swerves
from true republican principles. Mr. Lacy
is new City Auditor, a position which he
has held for a number of years, and if we
were asked to name a. more honest man than
Rowland B. Lacy we would answer he is not
to be found ' There is a good prospect of
the election of both gentlemen. The demo—
cratic nominees are Dwight Morris late
Secretary of State, and John Sexton. Be—
tween the four it ought not to be hard to
choose.
The works of the White Manufacturing
Company of Bridgeport were destroyed by

On'Suturday evening aboutO o’clocka e
was discovered in the large building owned
by the White Manufacturing Company on
Cannon street. A general alarm was sound-
ed, and although the entire fire department,
was promptly on hand they-did not succeed
in subduing the flames until 10 o’clock ow-
ing to a scarceity of water. The White
Manufacturing Company were extensive
manufactures of coach lamps and coach
trimmings. They estimate their loss at $30,-
000. There is an insurance of $25,000 on
building and stock. A portion of the
building was occupied by the Metropolitan
Button Company, who make buttons and
trinkets from vegetable ivory. They lose
everything, but are fully covered by insur.
ancc of $5,000. The fire is thought to have
been incendiary or possibly spontaneous.

Vi should be gratifying to the people of
stport to know that Kelly’s mill so called,
which has lain comparatively idle for ~a pe~
riod of time, started again Saturday, Novem-
ber lst. Richards & Dickerman is the firm,
in charge, and as the first named is a practi-
cal business man, and the second a practical
miller with reputation gained as such in far
off Wisconsin, it is not too much to hope
that the valuable property they have taken
hold of may become not. only a source of in-
come to them, but a renewed benefit to the
public. .
Messrs. II. I’. Burr and J. W. Hurlbutt
having been nominated by the Republicans
and Democrats respectively. as candidates for
Representative, it is difficult, on this (Tues—
day) morning so soon after the polls are open.
especially in view of the general popularity
of the gentlemen to predict which of the two
will be elected. As a U. S. Senator will not
be chosen by the coming legislature, but by
that which succeeds it, the election of one or
the other cannot be considered in the light
of a triumph. '
When the new telegraph company’s men
erected their poles between Westport and
Norwalk they had obstacles to overcome in
the way of digging, such as rocks and large
stones. In some instances the men had to
try two or three places before a hole deep
enough could be excavated. The result is
many superfious holes which have been left
unfilled and dangerous to pedestrians. The
attention of the company’s agent, if he re—
sides in Norwalk, is called to this fact, ' ith
the request that he take immediate lips
to remedy the difiiculty.‘ Our business peo—
ple want cheap telegraphy such as this com-
pany propose to afford, and they hope to get
it without first having to sue for damages in
behalf of some citizen who shall be unfortu-
nate enough to break a leg or flu arm by fall-
ing into one of those holes.
The total destruction by fire of Owen
O’Brien’s house last Monday, has about it a
mystery which none seem capable‘ of solving.
The building took fire first Saturday night at
about 10 o’clock, and by the aid of H. 85 L.
Company it was put out. At 2 o'clock Sud—
day mrning it broke out again, and again
was promptly extinguished. On Monday
morning it was once more on fire, and two
citizens subdued it. Soon after dinner of
that day there was another alarm which prov-
ed to be from O’Brien’s house, and the H. &
L. 00. again promptly did their duty. Fin-—
ally at 4 p. m., as already stated, the devour;
ing element again appeared, and despite the
best efforts of the firemen, consumed the
structure. There was an insurance upon it
of $1,000.
Mr. Frederick J. Wright who died at the
house of his mother Thursday in the 38th
year of his age, was a native of Westport,
and a gentleman of more than ordinary busi-
ness tact. With a limited education gained
within the walls of “Shercrow” school, he
went from his humble home into the world
and was enabled to rise by his own exertions
and prosper, from the inexperienced school-
boy to the dignity of chief salesman in one
of the largest carpet houses of Philadelphia
is One of his achievments, and the means
used by him to attain that object are within
the grasp of any young man. The funeral
took place yesterday (Monday) from the res-
idence of Mrs. Judson Wright.
Tuesday’s shower with lightning and thun—
der and that of Sunday night Oct 2d, marked
the dividing line between departing Autumn,

and changes—the characteristics of stern No—

Mr. Alex. Godillot, brother—in—law of Mrs.
E. M. Lees, has purchased the' house and
grounds occupied by Mr. Sidney Watts, and
formerly owned by the late Deacon Eliphalet
Swift, the consideration being, as reported,
about $5,000. The place is a desirable one
in all respects, and is well fitted to the tastes
of a gentleman who is likely soon to make it
his permanent country residence.-
The funeral of Mrs. Mary 13., relief of ,the
late Captain Abram Sherwood, who died
Tuesday, 28th, aged 75 years, took place
Thursday from her late residence, Rev. A. N.
Lewis ofiiciating. She was a daughter of the
late Captain Isaac Bennett, distinguished for
his services .in the war of 1812; was mother
of nine children five of whom survive, and
had been identified with the congregational
church more than half a century.
through life was marked by acts of charity,
and' devotion to her family and the church.
Liberal ,views, from judgments and generous
liospitalities, made the atmosphere about her
hearthstone ever bright, and she leaves the
legacy of a true christian character and ex—
ample. Mcssrs Edward and Andrew C. Nash,
Frederick Morchouse, H. R. Bu.rr, W. S.
Guyer and W. E. Sturges, acted. as pail
bearers, and the remains were buried beside
those of a husband in the old cemetery near
the church, Green’s Farms. .

BALLASTING run RAILROAD TRACK.—FOI'
the past two months the Carpenter Brothers,
(G. W. and A. A. Carpenter) contractors,
from Port Chester, N. Y., whose specialty
is macada’mizing roads, and getting our
broken stone for railroad blasting, have been
at work at the quarry, at the mountain east
of Cat Hole, with a gang of fifty laborers,
and two powerful Blake crushers, and have
got out about 3,000 tons,- or ten cars per
day of broken stone which has been used to
ballast the track between New Haven and

A Thrilling Balloon Adventure.
CHICAGO, Oct. 29.—-—The Times this mom-
ing publishes an account by one James Hale,
of a balloon ascension which he made a good
many years ago with Prof. H. J. Kane, at
Canandaigua, N. Y., and’ which he thinks
closely resembles the recent ascent of Prof.
Wise and Burr, except that the relater escap-
ed alive while Burr was drowned. They
floated over Lake Ontario. Night came on
and the balloon began to sink. All the bal-
last was thrown out, but to no purpose.
They nearly struck the must of a passing
vessel and it appeai'ed every moment as
though they would drop into the waves.
Finally Kane said: “One of us can get to
Canada and the other must feed the fishes.
I’ve got a family and I’m going to Canada,"
and whipping out. a knife leaped into the rig—
ging and cut the basket loose. Hale dropped
into the middle of the lake. He was a good
swimmer and managed to get upon the
basket. Next day he was picked up by the
steamer Corinthian bound for Rochester.
Kane never was heard from. Hale calls at-
tention to the similarity in Donaldson‘s case.
The body of Greenwood was found on shore,
and in case of Wise the body of Burr was
found on shore. In the case .of Kane, the
passenger who became merely a matter of
ballast when the question was whether the
balloon must swamp or rise, was very fortu-
nate in being dropped into frequented waters
and in the regular track of a steamer.

Dunn GAZETTE :—The great National Fair
opened on Tuesday, and as it was a general
holiday in this District the various events of
the day were witnessed by thousands of
persons. The industrial procession with
which the ceremonies were opened move
from the Naval Monument at the base of the
Chpitol. The line it is estimated was four
miles long, having taken two hours to pass a
given point. The opening address was made
from the balcony of the main building by
President Gait, of the Association. Presi-
dent Hayes was inlroduced and made a brief
address. '
During the four months ended to—day,
$13,026,700 in National bank notes fit for
circulation were assorted and returned to the
bank of issue; $9,458,500 unfit for circula:
tion, were delivernd to the controller of the
currency for destruction and replacement
with new notes, .and $1,831,200 notes of
failed, liquidating and reducin banks were
deposited in the Treasury. makes a
total of 867,822,850, 1: decrease in similar
figures for the corresponding period of last
year of $42,711,452.
The Secretary of State‘left here this moms

spot. -
Secretary Schurz to-day received an lvita—
tion from t. Republican committee at Bal-
timore to address a meeting there, but finds
it impossible to do so as important informa-

at the Department.
Attorney General Devens left here this
morning for Boston. He is down for two or

Secretary Sherman returned to the city
yesterday morning from New York.
The news of the sudden death of Senator
Chandler, of Michigan, was received this
morning. Secretary Schurz at once ordered
the Interior Department flag to be placed at
half mast, and for draping of the exterior of
the building in mourning. Later in the day
the President issued an executive order,
directing that all the departments shall be
closed on the day of the funeral. '
Mr. Chandler, it will be remembered, suc-
ceeded Mr. Delano as Secretary of the Inte-
rior. During his ofiicial term he frequently
complained of congestive chills. His office
was changed from the north side of the
Interior Department building to' the room
now occupied by Secretary Schurz, in the
southeastern corner, where his physician
thought the sunlight would have a beneficial
effect upon his health. It is thought here
that exposure during the recent campaign had
renewed his old complaint, resulting in his
sudden death. In all departments of the gov-
ernment the news caused the deepest sorrow.
The long service of Mr. Chandler in the
Senate and his prominence as aleading mem-
ber of the Republican National Committee
had endeared him to a host of friends.
The Legislature of Michigan, it is under-
stood, does not meet until 1881, so the gov-

to be chosen. G.

EDITORS Gsznr'rn :—A feeble wail appears
this week in the Sentinel from its Rowayton
correspondent, as if he was desirous of hav-
ing the last word in this watering place dis—
cussion, which privilege we would ladly ac-
cord him by taking no further notice of the
matter were it not that his tone is such as to
lead us to emphasize what we have already
written, by saying that Col. Colyer has done
nothing more than is legal and just in the
matter of his improvements at the lace in
question, which fact can be atteste by any
one who will take the trouble to examine the
town records. Your Stratford correspond-
ent, “W,” takes a correct view of the situa-
tion and echoes a sentiment that is shared by
every impartial and fair minded person who
is at all familiar with the circumstances.
Just here let us inform the .Sentmel’c writer
that in one of his communications he misrep-
resented the sayings of at least two of the
individuals whom be quoted as hazing said
thus and so, they indignantl denying the
assertions imputed to them. ts retty meek
argument that requires such boIstering up,
and no wonder that such words as “Phillipic
and Axiome” have been rescued from com -
putative oblivion and pressed into the service,
A friend at our elbow suggests that the Sea--
tinel’s correspondent should get these words
stuffed and have them placed on the shelf

Real Estate in the West.
The Denver Land Co. ofier in another
column alternate lots in their addition.
These alternate lots are in fact given awa ,
though a nominal charge of one dollar is me e
for the deed. The Company limit the num—
ber purchasable at this price to five lots.
Many of the large cities of the West have
been started in a similar manner, and those
who secured lots then, find themselves now
in posession of valuable property. The op-
portunity does not often present itself of
making an investment in Real Estate at such
prices. The reliability of the Company and
their title to the roperty being cell estab—
lished, there coud bc'iio risk with a fine
prospect for a rapid increase in value. Den-
ver has had such a wonderfully rapid growth,
it is probable that the land oflcred will be
speedily taken up.

A Wall Known Lady,
Mrs. John F. Brinkerhofi',ot‘ Highlandfllstcr 00..
N. Y., came to Dr. Kennedy, of Boundout, and
said to him z—"Doclor, I am afflicted with a dis-
ease for which all the medicines I have triedhuve
proved worthless; and thus far none of the physi-
cians I have consulted haye been able material!
to assist me. ' I have applied now to you as a Ias
resort, believmglf any man under God can help
me it must be youse f.” Dr. Kennedy, on ascerc
taining the precise character of Mrs.Brinkerhoil’s
complaint, and frankly and at once: “Madame

could apply THE KNIFE, but the operation
would proha ly destroy your life.” Then on per-
ceivm the dcspondency into which his honest
words ad thrown the patient Indy.tho doctor ad-
ded : “I cannot give you perfect liberty from your
disease, but I can remove many of the distressing
s mptomsol your difficulty; I. can prolon your
life indefinltcly and. render, it comlortab e and
mostly free from pain. _ This I can do by means
of what I call my Favorite Remedy, which you
have only to take as directed.” The patwntJught-
ened of her mental load, gratefully promised to
obey the kind advrce and went her way,
A short time since she sent the followmg mes-
sage by a friend who was going to Roundout:
“Call on Dr. Kedncdy, and tell him I have used
the Favorite llemedyms he directed, and that it
has done all, and even more than he promised.
It has afforded me so much relief. so much com-
fort. that I would not, I cannot do without. Tell
him, too, that lie is welcome to use my name. Yes

vorite Remedy always as a medicine superior to
all others forthe cure of those complaints to
Which our sex are so liable. My word for it, the
medicine can do all that the doctor claims for it."
