WILTON. 4:,
The’Rev. Frank Thompson was installed
as pastor of the Congregational church, on
Tuesday last. The day, as far as the weather
was concerned, was beautiful and a large
gathering of people toOk place. The conso—
elation was duly organized and the opening
'prayer made by the, Rev. B. F. Bradford.
The Revs. Mcssrs.'Buckingham, Hubhell,
Willard and Davenport ‘ not being members
of the consociation, the privilege 0‘ “tem-
porary citiienship” was conferred upon
them. The papers of church and society
were then presented and found satisfactory.
The pastor-elect then read a shortstatemgnt
- of the cmdinalgrounds of his religious faith,
'which furnished a base for questions by the
Moderator, Rev. J. A. Hamilton and others.
The candidate passed through this with cred-_
it to himself and with great satisfaction to
his poople. The pastor-elect then gave a
very interesting account of his religious ex-
, psriencc, how a praying mother had early
consecrated him to the service of Christ,how
' fora long time he had contended against
it, and cherished other expectations, and
how finally after eight years of sailor life
he experienced a change of heart while on
ship-board and abandoning his occupation
entered, after suitable preparation, the work
of the Lord. The exercises Of the morning
was followad by an adjournmentlto the lecture
room where the ladies of the church had
prepared a collation in their own inimitable
manner to which all were invited.
The afternoon services were opened by an
anthem by the choir followedby a prayer by
Rev.S.B.S.Blssell. The choir sang hymn 1039.
The Rev. B. J. Relyca then read from the
scriptures followed by prayer by the Rev.
Mr. Bra'dford. The sermon of the day was
preached by the ReVs‘sDr. Buckingham, of
Springfield, the text being taken from John
14 4 11 The installing prayer was then of-
fered by Rev. L. J. M. Merwin.
The “charge to the pastor” was then de-
livered by the Rev. S.‘ G. Willard of Col-
chcste'r, The Rev. James ,W.‘ Hubbell of
Danbury, gave the Right Hand *Of Fellow-
ship. The charge to the pastor was given by
Rev. J. G. Davenport of Bridgeport. The
doxology was then sung by church and
choir after which the new installed pastor
pronounced the benediction. The exercises
throughout were brimful ‘of interest ‘and
closely listened to by‘ the audience.

The New England Supper was a pleasant
occasion as well as a success. Between thir-

roads were almost impassable. . The young
people of the Congregational church are a
noble band of workers.
Mr. Bradford preached in the Union Tab-.
ernacle in New York on 'the 20th. Half a
dozen or more of the papers mentioned the
fact, describing his person and spoke of his
sermons, calling him Dr. On his return, all
pleasantly greeted him as Dr. Bradford.

I Mr. Hindlcy, having disposed of houses
and lands, is soon to take up his abode in
Brooklyn. All regret to have so worthy a

as an intelligent christian gentleman and a
worthy citizen,thc kind of men Darien needs.
The funeral services of Benjamin Grifiln
were held on Sunday at the Chapel, at up-
'per Five Mile River,Mr. Bradford officiating.
The ho ‘se was full. Mr. G. had been unwell
for some weeks but was not thought to be
dangerously sick. During the past week he
was attacked with pneumonia, and died on
Friday. He was a quiet, industrious, honor-
able man, a good citizen, a true husband and
an affectionate parent. He had the confidence
and respect of his neighbors and of all-who

A foot bridge has been temporarily erected
across Five Mile River near Col. Raymond's.
red mill where the freshet carried away the
old structure. This is a great convenience
to our people who are duly grateful. The
loss of the main strhcturc is severely felt by
our people, particularly by tho'se residing on
the Darien side of the river, who have to
crosa this bridge in going to the railroad
depot at- Rowayton. the post office, to the
stores, school house and churches, on the
Norwalk Side of the river.
Col. Raymond is reported as being occu-
pied in cutting away trees, preliminary to

WESTPORT.‘
The event of the week was the fourth
annual sociable and supper of. the “old
folks,” Tuesday evening, at Sturgcs’ Hall'
and the hotel dining room. It was an affair
in which pleasure was experienced by reason
of the absence of those formalities charac-
terizing fulldress entertainments. It was, as
it was designed to be also a sort of house-
hold gathering, each person being known
and knowing everybody else—conditions es-
sential to that case and freedom sought by
such as meet on grounds of social equality.
A limited number of tickets issued prevented
a crush, and while the “old folks" held the
floor by an 1. in. as Florencu would say,
there was a sprinkling of young fry admit-
ted—j ust enough to make things lively, and,
in its‘truest-sensc, “all went merry as a
marriage bell. Redgate, of Bridgeport, and
his solo cornetist, who ,will be remembered
though his name is not :spoken, furnished
music, and'Ofien of New Canaan, the singing
prompter doing well ~ghis part. There never
was a gayer,.1iappier company, and the floor
management by those veterans, Messrs. Gil-
bert, Wood, Jones and Lyon, aided to
maintain and keep it so. At a specified
hour, the revelers, (we speak advisedly)re-
paired to the ,hotel across the street, where
6; Lyon, ladies furnishing the means through
which their peculiar talents as caterers were ‘
shown to best advantage. No bill of fare in
letters of gold was needed to hint what
the guests might cat—the tables spoke for
themselves. and their invitation, tacit but
eloquent met a hearty response. _ As the
best men and women in the universe were
there with the best appetites, the reader can
draw his own conclusion of the kind of
crowd seated at those tables. The caters
tarried lo'ng. but the tables held out though
three separate attacks were made upon them
and after all was over, much more. than
twelve baskets figuratively, were gathered
up of the fragments. These it is understood,
were so disposed Of as to bring joy to those
who never lenter ball rooms, and for whom
“minstrel ruptures” rarely swell. At an
early hour Wednesday morning, the good
company, at peace with itself andl‘he rest of
the world, retired to sleep, and to anticipate
its fifth gathering one year hence. '
The same evening as above, somewhere
within the precincts of Westport,‘ conjecture
fixing the exact spot in the northern portion,
there was a lively cocking main in which
N ofivalk and Westport roosters came to the
scratch. Rumor says (but as usual no one
knows for certain,) nine battles, ten dollars
each battle and fifty dollars on the main,werc
fought, and that victory perched on the ban-
ners of Westport chanticleers, two only of
which bit the dust, while Norwalk lost sev-
en. The contest was well conducted, by
which is meant the police did not hear of it
in time to break it up, and was witnessed by
one lawyer, two justices of the peace, one
constable, one defeated candidate .for the
legislature, sporting men from New York,
Bridgeport and Norwalk, none from West—
port, so far as known, being present, and the
usual number of local and visiting game bird
fancicrs. The press had its representatives
who visited the pen (pit) to scratch but not
to fight. At about the hour when the old
folks, after their dance, wcnded their way
homewnrd, these sports and their friends,
some with joy and ducats, and others with
neither, having bet on the wrong birds, went
home also. :1

THE OYS PER BUSINESS. ‘
ARGUMENTS BEFORE THE FISHERIES COMMITTEE
V CONCERNING DRIEDGING.
The committee on fisheries, Senator COO of
the Fifteenth district chairman, was occupied
froni7 o‘clock until 10 Wednesday night, in
bearing the arguments of counsel on the bill
before the legislature prohibiting steam
dredging on the public oyster beds. The
hearing was had in Representatives hall with
a large number of members in attendance,
including Senators Hoyt and Bradstreet.
Among the gentlemen present opposing tho
of Milford and Captain Charles W. Hoyt
of Norwalk. The oysteimen in favor of
the bill’s passage were represented by Col-
onel H. W. Hoyt of Greenwich, who
opened the argument before the committee.
He was to have been assisted by Mr. Charles.
Bell of Norwalk, member of the oyster
commission of 1879, but the latter was de-
tained atIhomc by the sudden death of his
daughter, the wife of a Methodist clergyman
of Long Island. Captain C. W. Hoyt of Nor-
walk at the conclusion of Colonel Hoyt’s rc-
capitulation of the reasons for supporting the
bill addressed the committee in opposition to
its passage. He argued that the oyster beds
are not injured by the hardest work done
by the‘ steam dredges, but that on the con-
trary they are improved by them. For one
bushel of oysters caught by the steam dredges
he held that ten were afterwards-ensured by
the working of the grounds. Geo. C. Ripley
of steam dredging,
in its favor. -
MR. RrrLEY’s ARGUMENT.
Mr. Ripley, recapitulating the argument of
Captain Hoyt, that the oyster grounds are
improved by the breaking up and ploughing
of the lands by the steam dredges, held that
the sailing vessels ought; to urge the Steam
dredges to come within the prohibited lines,
instead of making efforts to keep them out.
The argument against the proposed monop-
oly in the business in case the steam dredges
should be allowed to continue work, he said,
was the most ineffective of reasons. It was
the old story against railroads as compared
with stage lines, steamships as against sailing
craft, and the sewing machine as against the
necdle‘and thread in the sewing girl’s hands.
These advances had made men richer, and
had increased work a hundred fold. It would
be so with steam dredging. Instead of doing
harm, it would increasc the oyster interests
along the whole coast. He did not give
credence to the position that steam dredgcs
could injure the oyster grounds. Instead Of
that it was in evidence,'hc held, that they
benefitth them.
Mr. T. M. Maltbic of Hartford, also ap.
peared against the bill, and discussed the
features at length.
' MR. MALTBIE‘S ARGUMENT. V
Mr. Maltbic hold that- the demands of the
people must be recognized in the legislation
which shall be recommended by the commit
tee, without regard to the fact what special
interests may be affected. He believed that
every interest of the people would be served
by the rejection of the proposed bill. It was
a fact that oysters had been clicaprned by
steam dredging. The reduction in price was
fully 25 per cent. He thought legislation
ought to be permanent. When the legislae
ture passed the cumpromisc bill, in 1879, al—
lowing stcnni dredging two days in each
week on the public gcouuds, the owners 01"
the‘stcamers and of the sailing Craft, he
stated. were alike satisfied. In 1850, the law
prohibiting steam dredging on certain
grounds, but with the; time for dredging
increased, was passed, But the whole tend-
ency of legislation for several years been
had been in favor of steam. Now the men
who had gone into the business with
these facts in view ought to be. protected. In
regard to the Bridgeport bed, the great natu—
ral bed of the state. it had not been shown
he said, that a single injury had been done by
steam dredging. The question was not one
of the weight of dredgcs, but ’of the propel-
ling power. The bills aims to restrict the
propelling power. It has been shown thiit
twenty-one sailing vessels use dredges as
heavy as the ones used on the steamers. Mr.
Maltbic made the point that the heavy dredgcs
on sailing vessels would do more damage than
on steamers. The uniform motion of the
steamers was in favor of their use. But there
is not the sligbcst danger of destroying the
beds by the use of steam. The beds get the
necessary stirring up by the steam dredges,
the grounds are cleaned, and the “spot” con--
bled to set more effectively. - Captain Hutch-
ins of New Haven, an experienced hand with
sailing craft, and a competent witness, has
testified that he did not believe the steamers
do more harm in erlging than the sailing
vessels. This must be considered as import.
ant testimony. ,.
Mr. Maltbic said he believed that the oys .
ter industry was to become one of the most
prosperous in the state, and it would not be-
come the legislature to set boundaries to its
advance. That the legislation recommended
was to be for the entire people should be a
matter of the utmost weight with the commit-
tee; not a singlé thing should be done to crip-
ple so vast and important an enterprise. The
closing argument was made by Colonel Hoyt,
who occupied upwards of an hour in its pre-
sentation. It included a careful resume of
the evidence, and gave a full rehearsal of the.
points at issue.
THE CASE AS PRESENTED BY COLONEL IIOYT.
Colonel Hoyt said he represented the
interests of a large class of hard working men,
who had spent their lives in building up the
oyster industry. He knew that it was right
in his opposition to steam dredging. His
heart and conscience and his prOfessional
services were allied firmly and candidly in
support of the cause which he had under-
taken to defend. The testimony of the lead-
ing witnesses in behalf of steam dredges, he
said, had not agreed. Captain Hoyt of
Norwalk, had testified that steam dredges
are of far more advantage to the oyster
grounds than the sailing vessel dredges. But
the testimony of Captain W. M. Mcrwin of
Milford, was to the effect that sailing vessels
are just as good for the grounds as the steam-
s
and made a strong address
rs. . ~ .
This was the evidence of the parties most
in interest, and the discrepancy in it should
not be overlooked; The main question before
the committee is in respect to the injury done
by the steam drcdges. It was in evidence
that dredges propelled 'by steam positively
injures the bed. At this point Colonel Hoyt
presented extracts from the evidence which
has been elicited from various witnesses,
showing that the Shippan beds had been
ruined by the steam dredges. Up to the
time that the steamers dredged on Ethis bed
had commenced work there had been
plenty of .“set.” But from that period
till now, not a particle of “set” had been
found on them since the time that the
steamers had been on them. ‘But on adjacent
grounds, where the steamers lied'nOt dredg-
ed, the “set” has remained undisturbed. On
the Bridgeport bed the steamers have not
worked two years in succession on the same
grounds. 'Not uwitness in favor of steam
dredging had shown, or attempted to show
that an°oyster will be found on these grounds
in 1881, where the steamers have dredged,
not one of these witnesses have even testified
that an oyster has been caught on the
Bridgeport bed, or grounds where steamers
had worked in 1879. But on the other hand,
Captain Lawson had shown in his testimony
that he had not been able to catch a single
Oyster on these grounds since the steamers
had worked them. He did not ask that the
oyster beds should be preserved for the
owners of the sailing vessels. But he did
ask that they should be protected for the
benefit of all the people. The extinction of
the oyster beds by'thc steam dredgcs is not
dredging is not passed, within a few years the
entire oyster business of the state will fall into
the hands of a few mcn,throwing 3,000 others
out of their present means of livelihood. He
did not ask for sentimental legislation, but
it should not be forgotten that in the homes
of these men along the Connecticut coast
there is trembling and apprehension as to
what the result cf this contest will be. It
was the duty, he held, of the legislature to
protect these homes, and the hard working
men who represent them. '
