Editorial Letter.

 

WAsnINdTON, June 4th, 1881.

DEAR GAZETTE :,—-

Were it ' not for the continued “Star
Route" developments, the old adage of the
war might be aptly repeated. “All is quiet
on the Potomac” however much disquiet
there may be at the head waters of the
Hudson. The feeling hero is one of intense
interest as to the outcome Of the Albany
contest and the New York dailies are bought
up with an avidity not seen in the city of
their creation. As would naturally be ex—
pected, here the public sentiment is almost
wholly with the President and against Conk-
ling. And since the President has let it be
known that he through his Post—Master~
General invited Messrs. Conkling and Platt,
and Vice President Arthur, to call at a given
hour, at the White House, to see if some
amicable and satisfactory changes of the
New York appointees could not be agreed
upon, the feeling has been more strongly
with the President than ever. Asstated,
Senator Conkling made the captions reply to
the President’s kindly invitation to come
and see him, that “it is now too late,” and
beyond that, took no furthcr notice of the
President, or even deigned to acknowledge
the receipt of the note of invitation. Then
his action in so petulantly resigning his seat
and dragging Platt out with him, as it is
here believed he did, is viewed as agrave
and startling proceeding. Senators have
resigned before, because of disagreements
with their state legislature, but resigning
\beeause of a difference with the President'
was to date, an unheard of proceeding, and
by the best minds in the country seems to be
viewed as an indefensible act, finding no
proper justification in any of the excuses yet
put forth in defence of their unprecedented
action. The outcome of the fracas at
Albany is awaited with intense interest and
impatience.
- STAR Rooms.

The latest phases of the star route investi.
gatious are the invited resignations of Sixth
Auditor McGrew and his first assistant, and
the voluntary retirement, as it is claimed,
of Ex. P. M. General (under Grant) and late
first assistant P. M. General Tyuer. It is on
dit this evening that the versatile democratic
journalist A. C. Buell, who succeeded Dou
Piatt in the editorial management of the
Washington, Capitol, will be among the first
of the star route culprits to be indicated,
when the Grand Jury of this district shall
meet on the 20th of the present month.

THE YALE LOCK COMPANY’S PATENTS.

General Stewart L. Woodford. United
States district attorney from New York city,
was in consultation with the Postmaster-
General and the Attorney-General here
yesterday, with a view to arranging a line of
defense in the test suits to be brought
against the Government by the Yale Lock
Company of Stamford, for alleged infringe—
ment of their patents. The lock company
has sued some sixty postmasters in different
parts of the United States for unlawfully
using their postofiice box locks, and the
trials of these cases promises to make some
very lively work for the law departments of
the government. It is a shame and disgrace to
the government that it will issue patents to
worthy inventors, taking their money there-
fore and giving in return a legal guarantee
as constitutionally provided, of protection
in the exclusive use of their inventions and
then deliberately stealing the invention and
refusing all compensation for its use, until
forced to it by the last resorts of the law.
Yet officers of the government are guilty of
continually doing this shameful iniquity and
where the inventor is too poor to wage a war
with the government for protection of his
rights, he must submit to the outrage and
robbery. This is all wrong. The government,

. aswell as every individual citizen thereof,

should leave off the using of any man’s
patented article, unless willing to pay the
stipulated royalty therefor. The product
of an inventor’s brain should be his property,
as sacred and inviolate as the product of the
factoryman’s loom or the farmers stock yard
or fields.
roars vs. POLITICIANS.

John Piatt, late House Librarian, and well
known in literary circles as a poet of genuine
merit, has made application for the position
of Consul General at Frankfort-on—the—
Main. His application is reinforced by
more of the literary guild than that of any
man who has ever applied for an official
position at home or abroad. It bears the
names of W. D. Gallagher, of Louisville; A.
P. Russell, of the same city; Prof. W. H.
Venable, of Cincinnatl; Paul H. Hayne, the

Ground was broken yesterday for the
elegant residence of the Secretary Of State.
which, when completed, will be the moat
commodious private residence in the city. It
will be located at the corner of P street and
Massachusetts avenue, and the estimated
cost will be upwards of $60,000. .

Senator Ferry, of Michigan, was taken il]

unite in denouncing all such reports] as
utterly groundless, and say that on the con-
trary Mr. Blaine has from the very first
encouraged the ipvestigatiou most heartily
and has constantly taken the ground that it
should be prosecuted to the utmost.

The President’s aged mother left for Ohio

yesterday. Mrs. Garfield is slowly but quite
surely recovering her'wonted health. The
President will soon remove his family to the
Soldier’s Home. .
Tho receipts for applications for Patents
for the month‘ Of May ultimo, were ten
thousand dollars in excess of the same period
last year. Mr. Marble’s administration of the
office has been so conspicuously able and
successfill that there is no thought of his
removal, all the rumors to the contrary not-
withstanding.

The Beatty Broshave made and forwarded
to President Garfield a most elegant summer
hat. It is of finest manilla and adorns the
Presidential capus superbly. This is the
second tile the President has received from
our Norwalk manufacturers of hats. His
head being the largest of any occupant of
the White House, the hats of the Messrs.
Crofut and Knarp and of Beatty Bros. had to
be made on special blocks and so constitute
extra large as well as extra fine headgear.
The President expresses his grateful admira-
tion of the artistic mechanical excellency of
our Norwalk batters. ' '

’As ever,
m

There is a slight bitch in the matter of
vindicating New York’s ex-Seuators. The
trouble, so far, seems to be a lack of votes.
There are votes enough, too, but somehow
they do not seem to be cast just right to suit
Messrs. Conkling and Platt. The ball opened
promptly on Tuesday, when it was found
that Mr. Conkling bad thirty-five votes, and
his Republican opponents seventy, while the
democracy, true to their traditions, voted

B.

cofitinued during the week, Mr. Conkling
gaining nothing, and his opponents scattering.
Now that vindication is a failure, Mr. Conk-
ling is evidently anxious to prevent. the elec-
tion of any other Republican. It is hoped,
however. that the Republicans will immedi-
ately concentrate their forces, and that they
will soon be able to elect two good men as
successors to Messrs. Conkling and Platt.

 

‘ Summer Arrangements.

On the Danbury Railroad the new time
table went into effect yesterday. The prin-
cipal changes is the addition of another train
down, starting at 8:05 a. m., with a through
car to New York, arriving at the Grand
Central Depot, N. Y., at 10:15 a. m.,
returning leave New York at 1:00 p. m. and
South Norwalk at 2:25 p. m. This makes
four trains each way, daily, and the arrange-
ment is one that must give general satisfac-
tion, and especially so to people at the upper

end of the road. '
m

The Sentinel man has “waited” very pat-
iently two weeks to hear “what the GAZETTE
would have to say with regard to Vice-
President Arthur’s recent action. Well,
that is really quite too bad. for he might
have seen it two weeks ago" without “wait-
ing” a moment, for the GAZETTE was the
first paper, so far as we know to “pitch
into” Mr. Arthur for such action. In our
issue of May 24 we alluded to the matter in
terms not to be misunderstood and not at all
complimentary to the Vice-President. As
to his Sunday conference it is on a par with
his other strange performances. He seems
to have been thoroughly “psychologized” by
Conkling.

 

The Sunday School of the First Congre-
gational Church is to go on an excursion to
Brooksidc Park, on Saturday, June 11th.
The train will leave from Danbury and
Norwalk freight house at 9:30 a. m. Tickets
25 and 50 cents, forsale at stores of L. J.
Curtis and Mr. B. S. Blascer. In case of bad
weather, the excursion will be postponed to
18tb‘June. The church bell will ring at eight
o’clock; the trip is to be made.

m

Our Methodist friends take the lead, as
usual, in preparing an attractive and pleasing
programme for their annual festival, which
is to be given on Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings of next week. The entertainment
.by the children is always pleasing; they have
several novelties this year that will be very
enjoyable. The concert, Wednesday even-
ing, by members of the choir assisted by
Miss Carrie Allen cannot but prove attrac-
tive. This lady has a pure soprano voice,
second to none in this vicinity and those
who heard her at the concert at the First
M. E. Church will surely attend. The ladies
will be on hand to serve'all with strawberries

and cream.
m

The new time table on the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad went into
operation yesterday. The principal changes
are the addition of the Newport express
which leaves New York at 2:00 p. m., and
Norwalk at 3:13; a new train to Hartford,
leaving New York 4:30 p. m. and Norwalk
at 5:42; the Adams Express train, leaving
New York at 9:30 p. m and Norwalk at 11:05.
Returning these trains leave Norwalk for
New York as follows: Adams Express at
5:28 a. m. ; local express at 11:45 a. m. ; and
Newport express at 5:24. The old trains
run same as heretofore with but slight alter-
ations in time excepting that the 6:37 a. to.
train down now leaves at 6:20, and the
Boston express down in the Ilfternon leaves
at 6:10 instead of 6:24.

 

Opening of Baton Point.

Roton Point had its formal opening under
its new management Thursday last. There
was quite a large gathering of people present,
all of whom seemed pleased with the many
changes made. The most notable and ac-
ceptable of which;are an addition to the house
Of a first-class restaurant,atwhich good meals
can be had at rcasonabl rices,—the erection
of a large and airy pafion on the sea side;
a large number of new bathing houses with
new bathing suits—sheds for the stalling of
horses—a bowling alley and a shooting
gallery, etc. ~ ~ -

The most notable and interesting event Of
theopeuing was the glass ball shooting, par-
ticipatcd in by quite a number of expert
marksmennnd in which the first prize was
won by Mr. Frank Burritt, although a
number of others made remarkably good
scores. The shOoting was the center of
interest during the afternoon In the way of
refreshments Mr. Ackert had provided boun.
tifully,aud could have fed double the number
of visitorsand given satisfaction to all. .He
was personally present to see that the guests
were properly cared for. The help was at-
tentive and courteous, and the order was of
the best, and we are assured that good order
will be maintained there at all times. In
Mr. Bolton the proprietor has found a mana-
ger who will carry out his intentions and
give good satisfaction to the public.

BASE BALL—Prof. Johnston’s boys went
to Stamford on Decoration Day to play a
combined nine from two schools there, the
King School and the Betts Military Institute.
The Stamford boys made the game rather
unpleasant by smuggling in an outsider as
catcher, by badgering the umpire into deci—‘
sions to suit them. and finally when their
catcher had left them and they were refused
the privilege of putting in another outsider,
by refusing to play any longer, thus giving
the game to .Norwalk by a score of 9 to 0.
To crown the whole, they declared that the
ball which they had played with did not be—
long to them, and that they would send a
ball by mail, which they have not yet done,
as we are informed.

What a Flurry !

The present Board Of Burgesses is compos-
ed of men who are individually good fellows,
but collectively they do make a mess of it
trying to trdusact public business on a strictly
partizan basis. Every meeting plunges them
deeper into trouble, and now the Board is
laughed at by all parties. While they have
treated us badly from the start our readers
will give as credit for nth retaliating, for
-treatiug them kindly, and even for refraining
from poking fun at their weaknesses and in-
consistencies—and we will not commence
now. Other papers are abusing them shame-
fully, but we have no hard feelings against
them, and no spite to gratify. We will mere-
‘ly mention the fact that at their last meeting
they elected an “organ,” selecting the Demo-
crat. With five to one against us politically
—although the majority were really elected

» by Republican votes,—we had no reason

to expect that the public advertising
would be given exclusively to the GAZETTE.
If to be given simply as a reward for party
services the Democrat was certainly entitled
to it ; if for the best interests of the Borough
the GAZETTE Would then secure it. But the
Democrat was selected, three to one, and to
preserve the dignity of the clerk as much
as possible a Republican was then elect-
ed as assistant clerk, to serve without any
compensation, to carry copy to the printer!
As soon as the meeting adjourned the rum-
pus commenced. The clerk after the manner
of Conkling, declined to not again with the
Board, and now the resignation of his Re-
publican assistant is demanded. A special

no knowing what will be done.

On to Ohio!

Some weeks since we announced that the
Messrs. Glines and Prof. Rollinson intended
making a trip to Ohio on their bicycles in
June. The Messrs. Glines ordered bicycles
made in England, expecting to receive them
amonth ago. A delay occurred. however,
and the wheels did not reach here until
Saturday morning last, only an hour or two
before the time set for their departure, They
were thus obliged to start off on their jour-
ney of nearly 700 miles without even testing
their machines or becoming familiar with
their peculiarities. A large crowd assembled
to' see them off. and soon after 10 o’clock, a.
m., Perley H. Glines, William B. Glines,
and Henry Matheis pushed their wheels to
Wall street 'and at 10.20 mounted and sped
away. Mr. Matheis, who recently decided
to go on the trip, is u comparatively new
beginner. The roads were muddy on the
start, and the wheelmen must have had
rather hard work the first day. They arriv-
ed at Stamford in two hours, and spent the
night at Mount Vernon. They were to
meet Prof. Rollinson yesterday, and proceed
on their journey by the way of Philadelphia,
Harrisburgh, and Wheeling, to Marietta.
They do not propose to rush through as
quick as possible, but to be two or three
weeks on the trip, see the country to the best
advantage, and enjoy themselves. If they
have as much endurance as pluck they will
be sure to succeed.

 

A Mysterious Death.

On Tuesday night last Mrs. Augusta
Cullen, of this place, died in the office of a
Dr. Trowbridge in Stamford. The story
told at the time was briefly as follows : O 11
Tuesday evening Mrs. Cullen and Mr. Wil-
liam F. Tillman, of this place, took the cars
at South Norwalk, and it was supposed that
they were going into New York State with
the intention of being married, Before ar-
riving at Stamford, Mrs. Cullen was taken
seriously sick, and they- got out at the depot
and were directed to Dr. Trowbridge’s ofilce.
Mrs. Cullen with Mr. Tillman’s help was able
to walk to the ofiice, but soon after arriving
there became much worse and soon "after died
from hemorrhage of the lungs.

It is stated that Mr. Tillman sent a message
'to her friends, by telephone, that night, but it
was not delivered. Next morning the friends
were notified by telegraph, and undertaker
Raymond was sent over for the remains.
Subsequently the Stamford authorities com-
menced an investigation, and an examination
was made of the body under direction of Dr.
Gregory. Up to yesterday noon the Doctors
had not given in their testimony to the jury.

A case of small pox in the family Of Wil-
liam Mullins, on the upper end of Franklin
Ave, has been reported to the town author-
ities. Selectman Selleck put up a couple of
yellow flags labeled “small pox” yesterday
afternoon, and quarantined the family. The
selectmen, we doubt not, will do all in their
power to prevent the spread of the disease.

Americans are now beginning to compete
with European collectors for the possession of
works of the old masters of painting. At the,
late Wilson sale in Paris Mr. J. W. Mackey
bought, aecordin .to L’Arta “Mercury" by
Reubens, for $9, 0; “Le Roi Bolt." by J .'
Steen, for $3,200; _ “A Rain,” by Rem-
brandt, for $2,000, and some other pictures,
including a Messonier, for $22,500. Poussiu,s
"L’Enfauce do Bacchus,” it is stated, was
bought for the Academy of Fine Arts at
Philadelphia. The "Hermit,” one oszreuze’s
most‘elaborate and important compositions,
has recently gone to America to adorn a
private gallery; also, a fine Claude Lorraine,
signed and dated Rome, 1651, and a particu—
larly good specimen of Gaspar Poussin, one
of his richest classical landscapes.

Letters from the People.

 

Masons. EbrTons:

TV months have elapsed since the erec-
tion of the “Borough Sales” and as yet our
authorities have not done anything towards
making them serviceable to the public. No
weighmaster has been appointed, rules
adopted or rates published for the use of the
same. Is it possible that we are to be bound
yet another season to the merciless grasping,
and extortionate coal dealers .” In the start
we were to be set free from “unprincipled
dealers” and we were really in hopes that
the scales proving successful and bringing in
much shckels to the depleted and depleting
treasury, that our Ofiieials would follow up
the good movement by putting in some
central and convenient place a set-of smaller
scales and measures, yardsticks &c., and
compel our Grocers, Butchers, and Dry
Goods men also to weigh and measure their
wares there. Then would the treasury wax
rich and our taxes be lessened all of course
at the expense of our“unprinclpled dealers.”

Come, Messrs. Burgesses, hurry up the
Scales. _ A BUYER.

———o—‘o-o—-—-

A Goon Tnmo.+Messrs. Leonard & Son
have introduced a new thing in the way of a
cement pipe, with an iron top to take the
place of the wooden boxes usually placed
inside the curb by users of the Borough
water. It will not rot and necessitate dig-
ging up and repairing as the wood does, and
we see no reason why they should not come
into universal use. .

The necessity of some regulation whereby
the immigration of sick and destitute per-

by the statement of PresidentSlar of the

effect that of the 900 sick, insane and desti-
tute immigrants on ' Ward’s Island, 50 per
cent. are suffering from diseases contracted
on the other side, and that of the 14,000

Sunday School Weekly Offerings.

The Sunday Schoolreferred to below is
that of which our townsman Frank A. Ferris
has been Superintendent, and which he did
much to bring up to this high attainment.

The Sunday School Missionary Association
of the Fourteenth Street Presbyterian church
in New York City, recently celebrated its
twenty-fifth anniversary. The prosperous
condition of the Association was seen, es-
pecially in the financial statement exhibited.
The aim to secure an offering each Sunday
from each pupil was so nearly accomplished
that 8,515 attendances brought 8,480 offerings
in the main: school, and an equal proportion
gave in the primary department. The
amount for the last year was $1,033.70; for
twenty-five years,$22,690. For twenty years
this school has contributed to the support of
Martin B. Lewis, one of the missionaries of
the American Sunday School Union in
Minnesota, last 'year $500. In that time
be had written them over 200 letters, re-
porting 825 new schools organized by him,
with 4,859 teachers and 29,873 scholars, 1,.
129 other schools visited and aided, having
9,835 teachers and 68,269 scholars ; 7,645
families visited, and 2,684 Bibles and Tests.
ments placed in suclfas were destitute, and
books, papers, and other helps furnished to
needy schools to the amount of $5,115.99.—

. Found at last.

“ The mysery attending the strange disap-
pearance of Mr. A. W. Walker, the tree agent
of Pittsfield, Mass, is at last partly cleared
up. He left his home during the month of
April, and after buying a number of trees at
'Hoyt’s nursery in New Canaan and shipping
them to various purchasers, he went to
Bridgeport and stopped at the Sterling Hotel
on the night of the 29th of April, When he
went away from the hotel in the morning he
left two small packages with the clerk and
retained a check for them. From that time
until yesterday no trace of him could be ob-
tained. A brother visited this city not long
ago and made a diligent search and inquiries
after him. The police of this as well as other
cities were given a photograph and descrip-
tion of the missing man, and his absence was
also widely advertised in the papers, but all
of no avail. Friends have also visited this
city and continued their inquiries at different
times until they hopelessly gave up the search.
Yesterday morning some men found the body
of Mr. Walker lying in a secluded place in
the woods on Success bill in Stratford, about
two miles northeast of this city. He lay on
his face, and on turning the body over a re-
volver was found under him loaded, with
the exception of one chamber which had evi—
dently been discharged. The body was much
decomposed, but it is thought there is a bul-
let hole in his forehead. In his pockets was
found $21 in money, the check he received
at the Sterling hotel for his bundles and his
business cards, so there was no doubt about
his identity. The body was placed in a box
and taken to Stratford, where an inquest will
be held. Mr. Charles P. Curtis Of Stratford
brought word to this city last evening of the
finding of the body. .Mr. Walker was a fine
looking man about thirty years of age. He
evidently committed suicide, but whether
suffering under temporary mental aberalion
or otherwise has not yet transpired. It_is
understood that he had no cause of any fis-
ture to hasten his taking Off. _
