'L‘ucsday, July 5. 1881.

 

The Nation’s Agony.

The murderous wretch who shot down our
dear, good, noble President, sent his bullet
into the hearts of fifty millions of people.
To-day, in all this broad land; there‘ is no
politics, there are no parties, but one united, .

" sortowing ’ Nation. The . whole American.;:

I 'people', thank Gad, have‘but oneheart to-duy,

as all~bow down in one common, OverWhelm-
ing grief. From the. most distant borders of f
the world’scivilization- also come greeting,
in our pr'OfO'und sorrow, the assurance of re-'
motest‘ nations’ horror at the crime and love,
sympathy and hope for our stricken Presi~f
dent. -

' Each individual Americancitizen feels the

1hr: ident's life to be a sacred part of himself

and of his dearest personal interests. But
to, the thousands throughout the land, who
personally knew him—knew his great and
good and kindlynaturé, his unaffected hear-
ing in his lofty station, the bright promise of
his Administration and of his life—to all
such, the terrible. calamity comes with a sor-

row too deep for tears. ,
At this writing, his fate cannot be with

certaintyforetold. But if the profoundest

Sympathy and the most fervent prayers of

this great people avail, his robust, grand and

manly strength, under God’s power and grace,
shall save our dear President’s life.

Secretary Bfaine, disbdieves and discour-
ages the theory that the assassin had confed-
erates, or was inspiredotherwise than by his
own crazed brain.

In all our churches the terrible event was
appropriately and tenderly referred to. Rev.
Mr. Hamilton spoke very impressively upon
the subject prior in administering the com-
munion. ' . .

Our great National Holiday—the day that
gave us liberty—was almost universally
turned to a day of mourning almost agoniz-
ing apprehension of the receipt of the news
of President Garfield's death. Every heart
seemed burdened with the sorrow of an im-
anding personal bereavement. Fortunately,
we have bog-accidents to record and‘ the day
passed as one of the most orderly and quiet

he history of 'Norwalk.
On Tuesday last the writer met the Presi-
dent at the White House, and his look of
vigorous, robust health, and magnificent

“me.

in

physical manhood,'was so conspicuofis as to .

become ‘a subject of congratulatory remark.
When Mr. Ilowe's telegram announcing
the. attempted assissination of the President
was received, the GAZETTE immediately
printed the news in a special Bulletin and
distributed them broadcast, Without charge.
As ast as particulars could be received
other Bulletins were issued in the same
manner. Four in all were issued on Satur—

Thanks.

The GAZETTE is greatly indebted to E. E.
Howl's, Esq, of the ensus Bureau, for the
first dispatch which reached Norwalk of the
President's assassination. His telegram was
sent and received by us within a few mo-
mL-"is of the terrible tragedy.

Our special thanks are due, as is the abund-
ant gratitude of our citizens, to telegrapher
Hoyt for his zealous and constant efforts to
supply us all with the latest possible intelli-
gence from our noble, stricken President.

On behalf of the President and Mrs.

received since Saturday morning. From
almost every State in the Union from the

messages L-Of anxious inquiry. and tender
wordslof sympathy in such numbersthat it has
been found impossible to answer them in de-

Attempt to Burn the Overllttiver
school Building.
‘I’ure Deviltry.

The fire bell sounded an alarm last night,
about 12 o'clock. The fire proved to be in
the Over River School Building, which had
been sbt'on,,fire in .the very center of the
structure. The‘ fire. department responded
promptly as usual, but very many of the men
were absent, probably out Of town, and the
work was hard for the few who were present.
The fire started in the middle hallway, and
the flames were confined to the Hall and
stairways at first. The rooms were veryhot
and full of smoke, and the firemen had much
trouble in finding and reaching the fire. As
there was no draft the flames'ran straight up
the walls to the attic,and it was not until they
had burnedholes through the partitions that
the firemen were able to do much effective
'work. Then they succeeded very soon .in'
quenching the flames and saving-the building.
The edifice was damaged considerably, but
principally in the hallways of the first and
second stories. Considerable damage was
necessarily done by flooding the building
with water, but the firemen were careful to
.cause no more damage in this way than they
were absolutely obliged to do, and they are
entitled to credit for the manner in which
they managed. There is not the slightest
doubt but that the fire was incendiary, and
_whoever started it was familiar with the
building. The Walden should offer a re-
ward,'and use every means to ferret out the
scoundrel. The damage, we presume, will
amount to nearly $1,000. Insured by Cowles
& Merrill for $6,000 on building, and by O.
E.,Wilson for $2,000 on building, and $1,000

on furniture and fixtures.

On Saturday amid the whole nation’s agony
0f 61151361186. and while‘reach' individual soul
sat in the shadow of a dreaded personal be-
reavement by reason of the terrible tragedy at
Washington, came the startling announce-
ment of the sudden death of the bride—wife
of Mr. Richard Golden, of thcficntt‘ncl. Far
be it from us to invade the sanctities Of a‘
sorrow so sudden and overwhelming. Such
a crushing bereavement is too deep and too

May He who doeth all things well, dispel the
gloom of this dark hour and comfort and
sustain our stricken brother. A few months
ago we chronicled the nuptials of the happily
wedded pair. *TO-day tile'bright sun of the
joyous husband's happy life has set in the
darkness Of despair, while the radiant spirit
of his bride has flown to realms celestial.
We had known of Mrs. Golden from her earli-
est childhood, though seeing her but rarely.
We met her last as a graduating school gil‘l
and were attracted by her gentleness of man
acre and quietude and dignity of demeanor
and by that rare delieay of taste and sense of
propriety so surely indicative of thoughtful.
scholarship. She was the only daughter of
Wm. R. Lockwood, Esq, and most natural-'
ly was the center of a fond father's idolized
affections. 'She graduated at the Fort Ed-
ward Institute, N. Y. By those who knew
her most intimately she is said to have grown
to a lovely and loving womanhood, possessing
strong attachments and inexhaustible affec—
tions. Her purest and tenderest love was
lavishingly bestowed upon the husband now,
oh so terribly bereaved, while hel- sympa-
thies 'went generously out to all. -Her death
was unexpected and startling in its sudden—

tsinty. of life. *All that was mortal of her
will be lovingly laid away and her grave be-
dewed with tears, :but her memory vfill
be cherished as a most precious legacy in the
hearts of all who knew her. Oh, may the
dear Lord pour the all of his divine consola-
tion into the hearts of all his bereavedoncs
who mourn to dayfiandzrefuse to be comforted.

Death always comes too soon,

The sorrow of all sorrows, till in turn

Died.

Our community was saddened on Tuesday
last by intelligence from the Adirondacks
that Clark Bissell, sun of Rev, S. B. S. Bis-
sell, had suffered a relapse and was in a most
critical condition. A brother was immedi-
ately despatched to attend him, but next
morning a telegram from A. H. Bissell, his
fellow invalid, bore the painful news‘of his
sudden death. But a few weeks since Mr.

thur H., and his brother’s son Clark, to the
“Paul Smith” region of the great northern
woods, to see them comfortably disposed for
a season of camping out, in the hopes of
securing a restoration of their wasted health
and strengh. He left them as comfortably
situated as invalids under such circumstances
could hope to be. The tonic stimulant of
the pure and bracing air made all sanguine
of speedy improvement. Clark, however,
in the delicate state of his lungs and the enf
feebled condition of his system, over exerted
himself and it quickly resulted in fatal hem-
orhage. He was in such close proximity to

benefit of competent medical treatment and
every care and comfort kind friends could
have conferred upon him had he been
here at home. He was tenderly nursed by
Mrs. A. H. Bissell, (who accompanied her
husband thither), until he passed beyond all
human aid. His remains were brought to
his home on Friday, and after a brief and
touching funeral service at the home ' of
his childhood, his remains we taken to Union
Cemetery'and sepulchrcd with his honored
kindred. There is always something inex-
pressibly sad in the going out of a young
man’s light and life, just as the coveted
prizes of a useful and honorable career open
up their possibilities before him. Young
Bissell is said to have possessed a warm-
hearted, impulsive but fradk and generous
nliture, and in mind and disposition was cal-
culated to awaken affectionate interest of all
whobest knew him, To his parents and
relatives, so many times and so grievously
stricken before, this new sorrow must fall
with crushing weight. To the divine source
of all consolation only can they look for
strength and suppoi't.“ May they find both
abundantly in the knowledge that “whom
the Lord loveth he chasteneth.” '

The Over River School, Mr. Wigham, prin-
cipal, heldtheir exhibition on Thursday after-
noon, the exercises consisting of singing,
recitations; .declamations, and reading {of
essays. The scholars evinced much life'and'
spirit, and seemed to thoroughly enjoy it.
The essays by the graduating class of four
young ladies,'fwere on Ordinary school girl
topics and wereuwell but simply handled
without any effort at vain display; the young
ladies Misses Street, Nickersoh, Roberts and
Ely acquitted themselves with much credit
and were‘presentcd with diplomas by Princi-
pal Wigham. ,The room was well draped
with national flags. 3

The Center School, Mr. Black, principal,
held simply their usual fortnightly exercises,
on Friday afternoon, but invited parents and
friends to be present and witness progress
that had been made. In response the large
school room was filled to overflowing and
all present seemed to enjoy the exercises,
which consisted of singing, recitations, dia-
logues, speaking, and an exhibition by Mitts
Alice Fitch’s class Of little girls in gymnas-
tic exercises. A class of four received di-
plomas from Mr. John S. Seymour, chairman
of the District Committee ; the class consist-
ted of Misses Panton andt‘Staab and Masters
Milton Turk and Robert Wilson. 'Much re
gret was expressed over the decision of the
principal, Mr. Black, who has decided to re-
tire and follow other pursuits. After the
exercises were over,lpatrons‘ were invited to
remain and inspect samples of children’s
work on the blackboards in the sevel‘al
rooms. The ,writing, maps, figures, etc.,
there shown were very creditable to the
young pupils. The pupilsand teachers of
the upper room indulged in a little refresh-
ment of cake and ice cream to end up with.
The audience room was very handsomely
decorated with flowers, flags. etc., by the
pupils. . -
The, South No rwalk School, Mr. Walradt,
principal, held their exhibition on Ffid'ay
afternoon, which was, as usual, well attend-
ed. The exercises were speaking, singing,
dcclamations, and reading of essays. The
graduating class consisted of Misses Doty,
Rockwell and Orlich.

In the evening the school held a pleasant
reception at Music Hall, where they enter-
ta‘incd their many friends in a charming and
agreeable manner.

Hillside School.

The teachers and children of Dr. Fitch’s
schOol, accompanied by their parents and
friends, celebrated the close of the summer
term by a pic-Die trip to Brookside Park on
Thursday. The day was simply perfection
itself. A clearer atmosphere, or more temo
perate summer sun never filled the system
with the invigorating ozone of leafy June.
The dear children were all gay, joyous with
delight, while teachers and parents, and even
our venerable clerical ftiend Fuller, seemed
hardly able to suppress the epidemic tendency
to jollity and a right down good time. The
Feast of “good things” was right-royal, and
the Doctor had no occasion to doubt the
capacity of any one of his boys. More than
one, whose head showed streaks of silver
threads, came away humming, mentally at
least, t e old refrain, “I wish I were a boy
again.” he school closed on Friday noon for
the long summer vacation, the children pre-
senting their preceptos, Dr. Fitch, with one
of Rogers’ statuettes, the “Slave's Story,” as
they departed for their homes.

 

 

« Selleck’s.

This well known collegiate and business
institution of learning, which has long been
noted throughout the land as probably the
largest private school forboysin Connecticut,
closed its summer term on Wednesday last.
Its corps of teachers and small army Of stu-
dents departed for their respective homes in
almost every quarter of the Western Hemis-
phere, and now those capacious and conspic-
uous structures which have so long adorned
East Avenue and which erst were so reso-'
aunt of boyish shouts and laughter, are silent
as any “banquet hall deserted.” With re—
stored energies we hope to 'see principal,
teachers ‘and scholars re-convene again in the
fall, for further progress in education and all
that is to surely make our nation truly great,
virtuous, intelligent and strong.

 

There was a good attendance at the Opera
House last Monday evening, the occasion
being the closing exercises of the Elm street
Kindergarten School. We were unable to
be present, as it was .our publishing night,
but we understand that the exercises passed
off pleasantly and in a manner creditable to
both teachers and pupils.

showing of its condition. its stock would

‘ AllRfST on": ASSASSIH.
Dunn

- (Special to the GAZETTE.2
WASHINGTON, Jluy 2d, 1881.

DEAR GAZETTE :—-This morning witnessed
an event unparalelled in the history of our
country. The assassination of Lincoln,
coming as it did, at the close of a long and
desperate war and as the last three of that
war’s fierce hate and passion was an infinitely
more logical event than the crime whmh
shook the foundation of our country this
morning. ’

About half-past nine the startling news
rapidly spread throughout the city
that the President, who was about to
depart from the city, had been fatally shot at
the Baltimore & Potomac Railroad depot.
The horrible intelligence, coming, so unex-
pected, proved to be too true. The 'city was
soon full of excitement and vast numbers of
people from all directions rushed to the de-
pot in frantichaste, until a crowd of several
thousands was collected. extending far up
Pennslyvania avenue. The excitement was
intense, and as one after another came from
the inside of 'the depot they were surrounded
by the crowd and eagerly questioned as to
the particulars.

‘ Business‘was suspended and, men, women
“and children, forgetting age and sex, rushed
5in frenzied haste to the one common center.

Abou thalf-past ten the President was borne
on a rude litter down the steps of thedepot,
and placed in the police ambulance in wait-
ing. The crowd, as by one consent, separa4
ted right and left and with uncovered heads
and pale faces formed a living wall on either
side the road while the ambulance with its
precious freight passed slowly on.

As the litter was being placed in the am
bulance, the” face of the President was in
full view of a portiofi of the crowd. Your
correspondent was one who saw it and the
sight he will never forget, as with half-closed
eyes and ghastly face the body was borne
past him. It looked as if the seal of death
was already upon‘ his brow, and few who
saw him but felt their hearts sink within
them. . .

The ambulance was driven slowly till it
reached the broad, smooth asphalt of the
avenue, then the horses were lashed into a
gallop and the bleeding body of our Ruler
was seen within the walls of that mansion
whence he had departed scarcely two hours

DETAlLs on THE TRAGEDY.’

Of course under the excitement consequent
upon such a horror there are a thousand and
one stories of how it occurred, which, though
agreeing in the main, are somewhat different
and it is thereforea matter of great difficulty
to ascertain exactly how the diabolical. plot
was couSummated. I give,howevcr, the stilts—
ment of an eye witness who. was standing in
the waiting room of the depot at the time
the first shot was fired and witnessed the
firing of the second and most fatal shot.
According to his statement the President and
Secretary Blaine entered the depot arm in
arm by the door. opening on 13‘ street and
leading into'tho ._ladies’. room. Shortly after,
aloud report of a pistol was heard and the
President’s arm was seen to drop to his
side. He half turned in surprise rind“ that
moment the assassin with his revolver resting
across his right arm fired the second shot
which entered the President’s body just
back of his right hip. He exclaimed “Oh,
my God i” and fell to the floor. That was
the first intimation that any one had that the
President was the target at which the shots
were aimed. Secretary Blaine turned and
seeing a man run for the door started in purl
suit, but seeing him secured by an ofiieer and
hearing a groan from the President returned
at once to his fallen chief. A ,crowd at once
filled the waiting room and seeing that the
President could not receive proper attention
there, a mattress was procured and he was
tenderly carried up stairs and laid in one of
the depot ofilces. Physicians were at once
summoned and upon their arrival decided
that it would be dangerous to attempt to
probe for the ball while the President was
laboring under such a shock to his system.
Almost immediately after the shooting he
was seized with a severe fit Of vomiting
which lasted for some time and tended 'to
weaken. him, but as soon as he could be
moved he was driven to the White House.

ms LOVE FOB BLAINE.
After the President had been carried to the
Executive Mansion a touching incident oc-

true, noble spirit of the man. When he had
been laid upon a sofa bed and made as com-
fortable as possible, Secretary Blaine ap-
proached his bedside and relieving one of the
attendants who was fanning him, performed
that labor Of love himself. Suddenly the
President seemed to arouse from his stupor,
and looking up, smiled pleasantly and grate-
fully said: “How good you are." Then in
a moment, Mr. Blaine, bowing his head
toward him, the President placed his arm
around his neck and said, with an impulse of
manner as touching and tender as a woman:
“You know how I love you! People whose
natures were both mischievous and selfish
have sought to prejudice me against you, and
though I have been compelled to give them
audience, it has never touched me here,”
pointing to his heart.

' Tun ASSASSIN.

As soon as the people became satisfied
that the President was being well cared for,
they turned their thoughts to the would-be
assassin whom they had forgotten in their
grief and anxiety for the President. Loud
cries of “Lynch him!" "Killhiml" “Burn
him I" &c. &c., went up from the enraged
crowd. Everyone asked everyone else, where
the murderer was, bathe. ,one seemed to
know, as in the excitement attending the
shooting the police had spirited him away
unobserved. Finallyiit became noised about
that he was at the Police - Headquarters and
an angry, tumultuous crowd surged toward
that place,’only to_ find upon arriving that
he had been transferred to the jail on the
extreme boundary of the city. Even then
the crowd was not to be deterred from their
object until it was known that three com-

, panics of the District Militia together with

a large posse of mounted police had been
sent to the jail to protect it and the prisoner.
Too great credit cannot be given to the
police for their prompt action in disposing

in their power he would surely have been
torn limb fmm limb.

The assassin is about five feet seven
inches in height, of strong though not stout
build. He gives his name as CharlespGui-
teau and says he is a lawyer and comes from
Chicago. When arrested he threw up his
hands and shouted—“I did-it; and I am glad
'of it. I am a Stalwart of Stalwarts, and
now Arthur will be President? He was an
applicant for the U. S. Consulate at Marseilles.
He convenes quite freely and seems proud
.of his fiendish act, though in constant fear
of being mobbed. Some think him insane,
others think it all feigned, but certain it is,
sane Or insane, he willhave no mercy meted
out to him here, should'he fall into the hands
of the enraged populace.

Tull WEAPON

calibre, and is wh‘qt is known as the “Bull

curred which shows the deep tenderness and ‘

of the prisoner for bad the mob once got him l

are behind it, Others say such a thing is
absurd and that it was done through a
spirit of revenge, at '- not getting appointed.
One thing is certain, some of our public
men regard it as decidedly suspicions that
a poor and penniless shyster lawyer, should
have $18 to pay for a revolver, besides con-
siderable more for hack hire Live. The major-
ity here seem to think there is some déep
laid plot under this affair and if there is,
woe be to the plotters.
MRS. GARFIELD

Arrived here at 6:30 this evening on a
special train on the Penn. railroad. She is
the object of universal and heartfelt sympa-
thy (for who that is human, would not
sympathize with her) who, having lain at
death‘s door for long weeks and not yet fully
recovered, is summoned to her husband's
bedside to learn that the hand of death is
upon him. The meeting between her and
the President is described by those present
as heart—melting, and yet, noble woman that
she is, she has laid aside her, personal ills,
and watches like a ministering angel at the
bedside of her husband. The first thought
of the President after regaining conscious-
ness was of his wife and he wished them to

Her presence with him tends to cheer and
comfort him, and she will ‘not leave his
side. ‘

TIIE PRESIDENT DYING.

At 4 o'clock this afternoon the surgeon
General after-a consultation with other
physicians stated that the President would
not live the night out. Thesb tidings fell
with crushing force upon the hearts of all,
for though‘ they feared such a culmination,
yet while he lived they had hoped. A
mournful bush is on the beautiful city.

the spirit of Our Ruler is apparently slowly
ebbing away. Lay him beside our mar-

noble, as good a man as ever trod God’s

green footstool. He dies, but not in our

hearts. Firmly anchored there, remains and

ever will remain, the memory of our be-

loved President, shot down in the flower of

his manhood, in the pride of his strength.

SUNDAY July 3d.
At about 9:30 last night the President's
condition took a decided change ' for the
better, and he has been gradually improving
up to the present time. There are now very
good prospects of his recovery, and the whole
city is rejoicing. Everything now seems to
point to his revovery, and with the bloom-
ing 4th, while celebrating the day that gave
us liberty, we can give thanks to God that in

His wisdom he has spared our President.

Stamford Advocate. May 20.

Dr. S. D. Howe, who is sowell known
to many of our citizens as a physician highly
successful in his treatment of a large number
of special diseases, and as being the pro ric-
tor Of the great Arabian remedies—“ ilk
Cure,” "Tonic Blood Purifier,” “Liver
Pills,” “Catarrh and Asthma Cure,” etc.—--
will again receive calls {at the Adams
House, next week Tuesday and Wednesday,
May 24th and 25th. He makes no charge
for consultation and advice—giving both
freely and willingly without money—and
does not sell any medicines. His agent for

 

 

glsts, Hubbard's block, 'keep a full line of
these celebrated remedies, and, as we, learn
their sales are mrprisingly large—an evidence
that the people appreciate such medicines as
are really worthy of the greatest confidence.

The Doctor has testimonials from a host
of grateful patients, who have recovered

remedies—many of them residents ofiStam-
ford, and neighboring towns, and people
whose word is never questioned. He isa
thorough gentleman, and his interviews with
those needing his counsel are always of an
agreeable character.

Dr. Howe will be at the Adams House,
Norwalk, (this week,).]uly 8th and 9th. His
‘medicines can be had of H. S. Belts, Drug-
