WASHINGTON June 18, 1881.
Dan: Gazmn :— g
The New Hampshire Senatorial contest
has successfully divided the public interest
here the past week, with the great state of
New York. The former state is in the same
condition Connecticut used to be in regard to
her representation in the United States
Senate, before we recently changed our
constitution. Despite the opinion of the
supreme court, a minority of the republicans
united with the democrats in voting for a
postponement till the next legislature is
elected. Senator Blaine, who is here, says
this is a triumph of the whole field over
Rollins, present incumbent, and not a victory
for any one prospective candidate. On the
other hand, the many friends of Wm. E.
Chandler, hereabouts, interpret it as a certain
presage of his election to the United States
Senate in 1883, in which hope, and in the
interest of stalwart republicanism and brains,
your correspondent most heartily joins.
- Mr.‘Chandler has been reported to be the
leader of those republicans favoring the
postponement. The next legislature will be
elected in November, 1882, but will not
organize until June, 1883. This will leave a
vacancy in the United States Senate, which
will be filled by gubernatorial appointment.
The present governor of New Hampshire,
Mr. Bell, was appointed to fill atht'ee months
vacancy arising precisely as that'of 1883 will
be caused. The question of the right of the
governor to appoint a Senator to fills seat
which the legislature had not filled was
raised, but it was decided in favor of the
right of the govenor to appoint, and by a
democratic Senate. Hence the full represen-
tation of New Hampshire will be present in
the Senate of 1883, should the Senate be in
session between .March and June of that
year. The 47th Congress will expire March
4th, 1883, and unless there shall be a called
session, there will be no need to fill the New
Hampshire vacancy. .
The non-electionists base their action upon
the provision of the revised statutes that
“the legislature of each state which is chosen
next preceeding the expiration Of the time
for which any Senator was elected. to repre-
sent such state in Congress shall, on the
second Tuesday after the meeting and
organization thereof proceed to elect a
Senator in Congress." The next legislature
' will be chosen in 1882, and the senatorial
term of Mr. Rollins will expire on the 4th of
March following. Hence it is maintained by
the non-electionists that the next legislature.
and not the present one, will come under the
head of that one “chosen next preceding the
expiration of the term." .
The same issue was made at the time
Senator Wadleigh's term was approaching
its end and was decided in favor of a post-
ponement the same as now. The present
Gov. Bell was appointed United States
Senator for the interim and the present Sen-
ator Blair by the legislature convening after-
ward. ‘
The interest in the Albany fight, quite
perceptibly flags, now that it seems quite
certain that neither Conkling or Platt are to
be returned.
A narorrrsn now.
A republican Senator who has just return-
ed from New York speaks of a very stormy
interview between Conkling and Cornell,
after which both looked like boiled lobsters.
Cornell, it_was said, had proposed to Conk—
ling to drop Platt and push him through as a
colleague.
It is one of the most easily ascertainable
facts that there is not a particle of truth in
the reports so persistently sent from here of
a coolness between the President and Senator
Blaine. 0n the contrary, the confidence Of
the President in Elaine’s friendship as an
individual and loyalty as a public official has‘
been increased, if that was possible, since the
fourth Of last March. Secretary Blaine has
been very careful to keep strictly in the
bounds of his Official duties and relations,
and has never volunteered any advice to the
’ President. -
In short, it ls thoroughly well known in
all decently informed circles, that the utmost
harmony and cordiality prevails between the
President and every member of his cabinet.
OVERCROWDING BTEAMERS. ,
The Treasury circular, addressed to col-
lectors and other chief officers of customs
and others relative,to overcrowding passen-
ger steamers, is now being printed with a
view to thorough distribution throughout the
United States. The officials are enjoined
particularly to make careful examinations of
excursion steamers. UExtrs efforts in this
direction should be made upon Sundays and
particularly upon the 4th Of July. Super-
vising inspectors will instruct the local
inspectors to detail one-half their force upon
each alternateSundsy for duty in the vicini-
ty of their home ports for the purpose of
ascertainingrby actual count 'of passengers,
if necessary, whether the law is complied
with, and upon the 4th of July the whole
force will be so employed.
narnsr. BANK, rrNrs.
Constable Knox has finally and fully ad-
justed the bankruptcd Bethel National Bank.
A dividend of four per cent has just been
declared which liquidates in full the princi-
pal and interest of the claim of the Pahquio-
qhe Bank of Danbury, which, it will be
remembered recovered a judgment for the
same many years since in our Connecticut
courts, but the controller of tip currency
refused to allow the interest item in, the
judgment until after the law was amended
and the same question adjudicated by the U.
S. Supreme Court in the case of a broken
New York National Bank. a This last divi-
dend closes a long and vexatibus contest.
A LADY NOTARY PUBLIC.
Miss M. M. Gillett has the honor of being
the first woman appointed notary public.
She is a native of Wisconsin, was educated
at Lake Erie Female Seminary, Painesville,
onto {at present she is a resident of Wash-
ington, and a student of law. In persontall,
slender, good looking, and of . lady-like
appearance. Mr. Riddle made the applies.
tion for the appointment, accompanied by a
full reference to all the acts of Congress and
of the late District Legislature bearing on
the question, showing that women are
eligible, which he requested might be referred
to the Attorney General. That Officer con-
curred and the President ordered the ap~
pointment to be made. The President
entertains enlightened liberal views in refer-
ence to woman’s field of enterprise and
employment. - ; -
CUTTING ors scans.
Jchn A. Bentley, Commissioner of Pen—
sions, has tendered his resignation to the
President, to,take effect upon the arrival and
qualification of his successor. The President
sent for Mr. Bentley on Wednesday, and
while expressing confidence in his honesty
and integrity, stated that the soldiers of the
country had become dissatisfied at the man-
agement of the Pension Office, and demand-
eda change. Obedient to this intimatrom
from the President, Mr. Bentley handed in
his resignation.
Last evening the President decided to
appoint William M. Dudley, of Indiana. to
be Commissioner of Pensions, and last night
he was informed of his appointment. He
Will accept. .
Mr. Dudley, the new Commissioner, is
fifty years of age and is at present Marshal
for Indiana.‘ He entered the army at the
outbreak of the late war and served with
distinction until its close, and he left a leg
upon the battlefield. At the close of the war
he returned to Indians and soon attained to
prominence in the politics of the state. He
was a close friend of the late Senator Mor-
ton, who had great confidence in his ability
as an organizer. 'In recent campaigns in
Indiana Mr. Dudley has taken a prominent
part, and has for some time been United
States Marshall. He is considered a repre—
sentative of the soldier element, and to that
a u- -
fact he owes his appointment. Until he
qualifies Mr. Bentley will continue in charge
of the Pension Ofiicc, which will be July 1st.
Bentley was tendered and declined at
foreign appointment. It is not improbable
that he willbe given a judicidl poution in
one Of the territories.
It is said that $100,000,000 will be required
to pay the pensions next year. This year
$70,000,000 will be expended.
The newly appointed Commissioner‘of the
General Land Office, Mr. McFarland, of
Kansas, has nOt yet telegraphed Secretary
Kirkwood when he will assume charge of
the Land Ofllce. As the place is vacant, the
Secretary expects he will be here next week
to take charge.
The air is. - hick with rumors of many
important changes as likely to occur at the
Treasury Department on the 1st prOximo.
The work of decapitation still continues on
the Senate side of the Capitol. Yesterday
Sergeant-at-arms Bright dismissed Charles S.
Draper, who, for the last eighteen years has
been an employee of the Senate. Mr. Bright
also cut off the official head of H. H. Wil-
liams, a colored messenger. Williams was
put in by Mr. Conkling. These latter dis—
missals have caused the other Senate em-
ployees considerable uneasiness. A short
time since Bright dismissed Mr. Lake, a New
HavenDemocrat,although it is understood he
faithfully promised Senator Eaton that he
should be retained. ._ .
To-day custodian Pitney, of the Treasury,
was invited tostep down and out for sup-
posed “crookedness.” . He was a pet of ex-
Sec. Sherman's. Gen. E. W. Whitaker,once
postmaster at Hartford.was strongly pushed
for Pitney’s place, but it is said the office
will. be abolished by order of Secretary
Windom.
The following is cut from the Ofilcial Ga-
zette issued yesterday:
DEPARTMENT or .THE INTERIOR, 1
Orrrcr. or THE SECRETARY, }
WASHINGTON, D. 0., June 8. 1881.
Sun—I am directed by the Secretary to
inform you that he has ordered that Edward
M. Lees, of 'Westport, Connecticut, be not
recognized from and after this date as attor-
ney in the prosecution of any claim or other
matter before the Department of the Interior
or any Bureau thereof. I am, sir, very re-
spectfully, your obedient servant,
. GEO. M. Locuwoon,
- Chief Clerk.
The Commissioner of Patents.
THREE-LEGGED ELOPEMENT.
Quite a sensation was caused at the Quar—
termaster General’s ofilce to-day by the dis-
covery that a one—legged messenger named
Thomas Street, had disappeared from the
city. Inquiry was started, and it was ascer-
tained that a woman named Mrs. Thomas,
who was possessed with the usual number of
limbs, had gone with him. Street was an
old soldier, and lived with his wife and
children at 1831 7th street northwest. His
family is left in a destitute condition. Mrs.
Thomas lived in the same neighborhood
with her invalid husband, also an old soldier.
It is stated that she drew $2,000 arrears of
pensions due her husband, before eloping,
taking the money with her, and will no
doubt need it all before she gets through with
her crippled lover.
CADET wrrmaxan.
The friends of Cadet Whitaker, while they
have no ofiicial information in regard to the
finding in the recent court martial have come
to the conclusion that the verdict is against
Whittaker. They will not,however, give up
the fight. The evidence has to be revised
by the judge advocate, and the final disposi-
tion of ' the case rests with the President. It
is claimed by Whittaker's friends .that the
finding against him is not in accord with the
evidence. Upon this claim they will base
their efforts with the judge-advocate general
and the President. Professor Greener, who
has been Whittaker's friend and legal advi-
ser, during all of his troubles, is still active
in his behalf, and does not propose to give it
up until the matter is finally settled. Prof.
Greener has never received a cent for his
services. > -
As an illustration of the compensations
brought about by the Whirligig of time, at-
tention is called to the fact that while no
relative of General Washington has lived at
Mt. Vernon for many years, and none of his
family own any portion of the estate, de—
scendants of threefamilies of negro servants
still live there, and neither they or their an-
cestors have known any other home since
General Washington brought their ancestors
there.
KENTUCKY nousas.
Senator Beck and Representative Thomp-
son, of Kentucky, are in the city. The
achievements of the colts of Kentucky horses
abroad lately have already had the effect of
raising the value of the blooded racing colts
in that State to high figures. Senator Beck
feels peculiarly gratified at the success Of
Iroquois, as the dam of the latter, Maggie B.
B., was namedefor his daughter, Maggie B.
Beck. For a long. time Maggie B. B. was
taken care of by Senator Beck, on his place
near Lexington, Kentucky, when she be-
longed to Mr. Clay. '
EARAIEB's PROSPECTS.
Agricultural statistics of the census bureau
show an unprecedented advance in produc-
tions of all kinds. During the last decade
the average increase in the production of
corn, wheat. oats, and other staple products,
was one hundred per cent.,while the increase
between 1860 and 1870 was only twelve per
cent., and that between 1850 and 1860 was
only 43 per cent. The agriculturists are
being steadily increased in numbers by im-
migrants, most of whom come to this coun-
try for the purpose of tilling the soil. Every
succeeding year marks an increase Of acreage
put under cultivation. and it requires no
prophet. to foretell that the census of 1890
will show a much greater advance in the
productions of this country than is contained
in the statistics jus t published by the cen-
sus bureau. -
Tna BRIDGEPORT rnoPsLm.
Chief Engineer R. T. Isherwood has been
appointed president, and Chief Engineers
Theodore Zeller and G. W. Magee members
of a board to conduct in the Hudson River
the trials of the U. S. S. Alarm with the
.Mallory steering and propeller screw. This
is the patent that Gen. Hawley has taken
such an active personal interest in, and made
sundry trips to Europe for.
‘ PERSONALS.
The President left this morning with Mrs. -
Garfield, for a short sojou at Long Branch.
Mr. J. R. Van Worm , the new chief
clerk Of the PostOfilce Department, entered
upon his duties yesterday, and attended to
business with his accustomed politeness and
promptness. He will be remembered as
having made the able and eloquent opening
speech of the Presidential Campaign before
the Gar-fled and Arthur Club of Norwalk
last fall. . ‘
. Mr. D. W. Bartlett, an old Connecticut
journalist, and now of the Chinese legation,
with his family, expect to leave the city for
their summer trip next week. They will
pass much of their time in Hartford, but will
be present when Mr. Phil Bartlett is graduat-
ed at Yale. He and Mr. Sherman Evarts
(ex-Secretary Eavrts’ son) have been the ed-
itors of the Yale Literary Magazine, the
eldest college magazine in this country.
Secretary Evarts when a student at Yale was
one of the active founders of this publica-
tion. .
It is said that the housefiwhich Mr. Yung
Wing, the associate Chinese minister, is
building at Hartford, is in the immediate
neighborhOod of that of Mark Twain, Charles
Dudley Warner of the Owrant, and Mrs. H.
B. Stowe.
Mr. Elaine and his family, expect next
week‘ to start on their. way to” their home in
Maine. The Secretary will afterwards visit
Manhattan Beach for a short time. _
A letter received from Senator Ferry, writ-.
ten from his home in Grand Haven, Mich.,‘
states that he has fully recovered from his
recent severe illness. , . ~ .’ ‘
Gen. Longstreet, late U.’ ’S."Mlhister to

Terrible storms at the'West. w
The great West is rapidly becoming famous
for great storms and whirlwinds, or torna-
does, and thevstories told of destruction and
the wonderful power of the winds almost
surpass belief. The region betWeen the Mis-
sissi pi and the Rocky Mountains seems to
be gerous to live in, for the winds are as
destructive as earthquakes. In Western
Iowa, during the recent storm, hailstones fell
in many places, the size and shape of door
knobs, weighing a pound apiece, and cover-
ering the ground to the depth of six inches,
and in drifts two and one-half feet deep. A
train of cars was blown off the track. At
Avoca over 5,000 panes of glass were broken.
In Minnesota a house was raised bodily over
the tops of tall trees and than laid upside
down, three persons in it escaping without
serious injury. A barn was carried fifty feet
and dashed to pieces, a girl and horses in it
being uninjured. .
Kansas stories are still bigger. A horse
was lifted out of a stable, carried over a high
hill and dropped in a cornfield a mile away.
Cattle were lifted in the air and dashed to
pieces. A trunk was lifted out of a house,
carried off, and has not yet landed so far as
known. A church was destroyed. houses
torn to pieces everywhere, furniture scattered
and broken, people and cattle killed and
crops ruined. In Missouri death and de-
struction prevailed in many places. In
Andrew county twelve persons were killed,
near King City fifty persons were killed. A
large brick school building was razed to the
ground. One man lost 80 cattle, another 00
sheep, and another seven horses. Cyclones,
or "twisters" formed in numerous places. and
their tracks desolated the land.

Is it possible that those Republicans who
are making the dead lock at Albany, by vot-
ing all around the lot, deludo themselves with
the thought that their consitituents at home
will not understand and see through their
little game? If they really want to return
the two recalcitrant Senators—Conkling and
Platt—why not face the music like little men
and vote straight. The average American
voter is not dull or slow of comprehension,
although he may not blow or blaster; but
these members who are playing fast and loose
with the people’s party,will, if they keep this
up, probably realize when the autumn elec—
tiou comes and goes that they have been left
by their constituents to pass quietly and un—
noticed out of political life with the falling
autumn leaves. But we would urge it upon
these men, as a duty they owe to their fellow
republicans throughout the Union, that they
cease frittering away their strength and wast-
ing golden opportunities by this daily record
of do nothing, and that. they strive to -con—
centrate upon two good and true men and
promptly vote them in as Senators. Two
wrongs do not make a right, and now that
it appears that Depew has polled his full vote,
why not drop him and try a new man. Start
out anew and go outside, if necessary, of
the politicians of tO-day and select some good
and true Sons of the Empire State of nation-
al reputation as statesmen, say for instance
Hons. Hamilton Fish or E. D. Morgan, and
try and see if they would not be acceptable
to both stalwarts and half-breeds. 'Again,
we say, unless Dep'cw’s vote can be immedi-
ately (and we hope it may), pushed up to a
reasonable point of success, we would urge
the trying of new men

Our friends of the 2d Methodist E. Church
had bad weather for the first night of their
annual festival, but the Opera House was
quite well filled and the entertainment passed
Off pleasantly, the children’s performances
filling nearly the entire programme. On
Wednesday evening there was a concert by
‘the church choir, assisted by Miss Carrie
Allen, of Danbury. About everything or.
the programme .was encored. Miss Allen
was down for twosongs, and each time was
called out, an honor Norwalk. often fails to
pay to professionals of distinction. Little
Claude Whitney, the “Infant Drummer,”
only four and one-half years old, was intro—
duced, and “brought down the house,”
handling the sticks easily and playing familiar
airs very cleverly. As a musical prodigy the
little fellow is a success. After the mu-
sical entertainment the ladies supplied a live-
ly demand for ice cream and other refresh -
ments. The net receipts were about $120.
w
Mrs. Curtis, wife of Cashier Wm. A.
Curtis, had .a very narrow escape from
instant death on Wednesday afternoon last.
She had been calling at Mrs. O. S. Ferry’s,
East Avenue, where workmen were engaged
in painting the outside Of the house. As
she was leaving the porch a strong gust of
wind blew over one ‘of the ladders,
which in falling struck her upon the
shoulder and in the side. She was carried
into the house and subsequently conveyed
home in a back, where she was attended by
Dr. Hitchcock. Fortunately no bones were
broken, but she was badly bruised and the
shock was very severe, from which she has
not yet fully recovered.

Flower Thieves.
On Friday night last thieves stole the flow-
crs from the veranda of 0. E. Wilson’s house
on Arch street, and also from the residence
of Mr. Yale, on Camp street.

New School Edlflcc.
It is in contemplatlon to erect a new school
house, facing Leonard’street, for St. Mary’s

be erected until after the return of Father
Russell from Europe next fall.

Another Discovery.
By intelligence received from the Warner
Observatory, Rochester, N. Y., it appears
that still another comet has just been dis-
covered by Dr. Gould, Director of the
Cordova Observatory, Argentine'Republic,
South America. This comet seems to be the
great comet of 1807, and is located in the
Constellation of the Dovc,Right Ascension 6'
hours and Declination South 30 degrees. It
is not visible from this latitude and not
known yet that it will be, although it is
likely to be as the comet of 1807 was dis-‘
tinctly seen. ' No apprehensions need be had
ever the unusual appearance of comets
during the present year as they do not
possess the power to work injury upon the
earth or any other planet.

The Trowbrldge Case.
The preliminary examination of Dr. Trow-
bridge was set down for Friday last, before
Justice Clark, of Stamford. As Mr. Clark
was unwilling to try the case, District Attor-
ney Fessenden finally entered a Mlle and the
prisoner was discharged, but immediately re-
arrested on a warrant issued by Justice A. E.
Austin, of Norwalk, who had consented to
act. A postpOnoment was then agreed upon
until Saturday morning, the bonds being con-
tinued at $10,000. The mile, however, had
released the bondsman, and Mr. Hubbard de—
clinedto continue as such. During the aftei-
noon, however, Mr. Nathaniel Mead appeared
and gave bonds for the Doctor's appearance
at the examination the next morning.
On Saturday, no evidence was taken, the
Doctor having made up his mind to waive
the examination. Some discussion wt had
as to the amount Of bonds but J usticc Austin
decided to make no change. The Doctor
was unable during the afternoon to find any
custody by an officer who became responsi-
ble for his appearance on Monday afternoon,
when the Doctor thought that he would be
able to offer an acceptable bondsman.
The trial of both Dr. Trowbridgc and Till-
man will therefore not be held until the next
session of the Superior Court.
Monday afternoon the Doctor failed to get
a bondsman and was taken to Bridgeport.
He will have another chance today,
Portrait of Tillman.
We find the following pen portrait of Till-
man in the Stamford Adoocatc. In some re-
spects the portrait is true to nature, and yet,
before this'chargo was brought against him
few of his acquaintances probably ever real-
ized that he was quite so repulsive looking:
The, conscience-stricken, guilty, worthless
rascal who brought Mrs. CIlen to the slaugh-
ter house to meet her death, and who ab—
sconded when the deed was consummated,
was caught in Auburn, N. Y., by Pinkertonrs
detectives and brought to Stamford. . He Is
easily described. He is a low, thick-set,
boyish-looking person, broad face,large mouth
and eyes, light hair, an ugly scar on his right
cheek and neck disfigures his countenance, if
such a thing were possible. He has the ap-
pearance of a loafer, and is evidently weak
in intellect,asmost of them are. His voice
is a “squeak.” Altogether an insignificant
and repulsive individual. He decided to go
to jail without a hearing, and if the state’s
attorney will allow him he will turn state's
evidence, and tell a story that whosoever in
this community shall bear it “his ears shall
tingle.” Now is as good a time as any to put
a stop to the nefarious business that has been
carried on with impunity in this midst for
years past.

The Borough Scales.
A gentleman who frequently desires to use
the Borough scales complains to us that while
certain parties in the Borough are permitted
to use the scales, he has never been allowed
to do so, although willing to pay charges, but
is compefied to drive down to some coal yard
for the accommodatiOn. We can only refer
him to the Borough authorities. "
Since writing the ab.ove,we learn that Bur-
gess Brush, who was the prime mover in the
matter of establishing Borough scales, has,
_ after conference with several other Burgesses.
decided to take the responsibility of throw—
ing the scales open to the general public,
rather than to wait formal action by the
Court of Burgesses. He has therefore given
the key to Thomas Cooney, a tried and true
Democrat, and placed the scales in his charge
until otherwise ordered by the Court Of'Bur-
gesscs. The following scale of prices for
weighing has been adopted until further
notice: Coal 6 cts per load; hay 10 cts and
5cts of! weight; animals 10 cts each, and
general merchandis‘eJO cts per load.
The Doctor deserves a vote of thanks for
thus “taking the bull by the horns,” and
giving those who desire to use the scales the
privilege of so doing. Mr. Cooney was at
his post, for the first time, yesterday.
On Tuesday night last there was quite an
exciting affair between the Borough police
force, and several colored individuals,
mostly from the city. After the festival at
the Town Hall, two of the colored men who
had evidently been drinking were rather
noisy on the streets. Chief Sullivan cau-
home. They left but finally ”returned about
midnight and continued their disturbance.
At about 12:45 the chief and officer Randle,
who had been at their lunch in the Adams
House, came out, Randle locking up. The
chief accosted the men, five Of whom were
in front of Jackson Brothers, and finally
arrested Nichols. They proceeded as far as
Gregory's drug store, the crowd following
and using abhsive language, when the chief
directed Randle to take the man by the
other arm. Footc and three others followed
as far as Holmes &. Keelcr‘s, when the chief
says that Footc threatened to rip him up with
arazor. Telling Randle to hold Nichols, the
chief drew his revolver, cocked it and held
it within six inches of Foote’s head,
but FOOte .did not seem to mind it
much. Wishing to avoid shooting at
him the chief then put up his pistol,
and drawing his club charged on Footc and
Robinson, when Ryan pitched in striking
the chief a stunning blow on the nose, black-
ing both eyes. They all then ran away,
Ryan over the bridge, and the other three
up High street. The chief followed Ryan
and fired two shots at him, which probably
escape. Randlc says that having a
former experience in mind when he was
censured for interfering without in
structions. he Obeyeded orders and held
his man throughout the melee. Hearing the
noise, Daniel and Frank Honnecker rushed
out flout the bakery' to the assistrlce of the
police. Randle called upon them'for help
and sent them to capture the fugitives up
High street. They caught Footc, and the
party started again for the lock up..Randle
holding Nichols, and at the lock up the Hon-
neckers gave up their prisoner to the chief.
Returning from the lock up the party found
Burgess Brush, armed with a police club,
proceeding to their assistance. The Doctor
dressed the chief’s wounds, and pronounced
him out of danger. An excited crowd had
gathered by this time, but soon dispersed.
Next day the chief said he had no desire to
push the matter against the prisoners, but he
_would like to catch Ryan for about two
minutes. Nichols was fined’82.00 and costs,
and Footc $5.000 andpcosts.
with the affair, and handed in his resignation
to the Warden the next morning. He had
beeen intending to resign for some time past.
His resignation gives unbounded satisfaction
to the liquor dealers, and gamblers. Mr.
DeForest has taken his place as night watch-
man, and Frank Foster, was on duty last

There was a rumpus Saturday evening in
the barroom of the Connecticut Hotel. Me
Glinchy, a Bridgeport prize fighter, picked a
muss with a Norwalk mechanic, over gam-
bling, and the noise of the row followed by
broken windows raised the tallest kind of a
crowd. Chief Sullivan attempted to enter
face, and when he finally succeeded in
gaining entrance, McGlinchy, of course, had'
been spirited .awsy. Does any person hold
a license for liquor selling. or for gambling,
in that place it If so, is there any reason why

The. Excursions.
The grand Odd Fellows' excursion on the
palatial steamer Columbia,—the gem of the
ocean,—fakes place on Wednesday, and
promises to be a thoroughly enjoyable affair.
The success of the excursion last year 'will
give full confidence in the management
Of the present excursion. An excursion
never left town under better auspices, and
the patronage of our best people will not be
misplaced. It is in no wise an opposition to
tho temperance excursion, though conducted
on a temperance basis ; the boat is the largest
and best that has ever entered Norwalk har-
bor; the Band is not surpassed by any in
this vicinity, and there is no more fashionable
as well as delightful place to go than Coney
Island, while the price is low enough to in-
duce families to avail themselves of the rare
opportunity of making the excursion. The
Columbia will leave the first dock below the
Adelphi's—samc as last year, and will pos-
itively land at the new Iron Pier at West
Brighton Beach, at which parties have al—
ready becn landed. We are requested to
statcthat J. 0. Bundle has tickets for sale at
Winnapauk at 90c for the round trip.
On Thursday the Reform Club excursion
takes place up the Hudson. The people
have every confidence in the management
and all who go will undoubtedly enjoys most
delightful excursion. The sail around New
York, and up the. river to the grove will be
specially interesting. Tire Union Band will
furnish music,‘a'nd there will be an abund-
ance of refreshments.
The Sunday School Excurslon.
If it doesn’t rain too much this week, the
Sunday School of the 1st Congregational
Church will go on an’cxcurslon to Brooksido
Park on Saturday the 25th inst. Notice will
be given by ringing the church bell at eight
o’clock, if the train is to go. All who intend
to go ought to be at D. & N. R. R. freight
house at quarter past nine.

The Glorious Fourth.
Capt. Perkins has arranged for a grand ex-
cursion on the coming Fourth, in order to
give the good people in this vicinity a chance
to celebrate the day in an enjoyable manner.
The Adelphi will land in New York as usual,
and then push on to the new iron pier at
West Brighton, Coney Island, and all for the
moderate price of 900.
PERSONAL.
We are glad to notice that Judge Joseph
F. Foote,—who has been sick for over two
months,——has so far recovered as to be able
to be around aghin. By the way, the people
now more than ever see and appreciate the
valuable services the Judge rendered to the
Borough in years past as Clerk of the Court
of Burgesses. There is nothing like contrast
to bring out a man’s strong points.
B. J. Sturges and son started on their
western trip last Thursday. They will stop
