Thanksgiving.
The weather on Wednesday was miserable
but the snow and slush did'not prevent the
arrival of guests in nearly every household.
Thursday morning was also cold and stormy,
and the church attendance was consequently
very slim. The afternoon was comparatively
pleasant.
At the Union Meeting held at the First
Congregational Church, Rev. Mr. Hamilton
preached the sermon, and Rev. Mr. Wing
participated in the services. The church
was cold and uncomfortable, but when it was
discovered that the sexton had gone to a sis-
ter state to bring home a wife, the condition
of the interior atmosphere was readily ex-
plained and the sexton pardoned.

Borough Election.
Keep the enemy on the jump, boys! Our
recent glorious Republican victories here In
Norwalk has filled the hearts of all our Ref
publican voters with the resolute determina-
tion to overthrow the paultry Democratic
rule in our Borough matters. We have a
good round majority of voters over them, in
the Borough, as a careful canvass proves,aud
now all that is requisite is that every voter
stick faithfully to the Republican nominees
2‘. does not permit himself to be beguiled
aphistries of cunning Democrats
. . . 1nd coaxing for votes. Don’t de-
ie enemy, boys, and we shall win a
Republican victory again next Mon-

Still Another.
Another accident to a freight train on the
Consolidated Road occurred this (Monday)
morning near Stamford, caused by break
down of a freight car. The accident delayed
the 8:05 up train about one hour.
Good News !
Rev. w. 11. Thomas; it is expected, will
succeed Rev. Mr. Wing as the next pastor
of the 2d M. E. Church here. Rev. Mr.
Wing is assigned to the East Bridgeport
church.
Republicans Attention !
The democrats cannot elect their Borough
Ticket unless Republicans can be persuaded
to scratch their own nominees. This the
enemy well knows and to save themselves
from a crushing defeat, will resort to every
subterfuge to inveigle Republicans to vote for
their candidates. ‘ Republicans, one and all
don’t desert to the common enemy in a single
n stance.
That bourbon sheet, the Bridgeport Farm-
er, recently accused its lively Norwalk con-
temporary—the Denwcrat, with falsifying
the record of a Democratic candidate. ' This
was a very seriouscharge for the Farmer to
make against its bunker brother. It should
remember that the Norwalk Democrat is the
“official Organ” Of our borough Democracy
and a blow at it, strikes the party here, be-
.tween wind and water. Of course these
“family jars” are no concern of ours, but we
can but note these loving episodes among the
brethren of the Democratic happy family.

Messrs. Crofut & Knapp, the enterprising

May the newly wedded pair have sunny

The many friends of our popular sexton,
“Sam” Johnson, Esq, W111 be delighted to
‘ learn that he has again trimmed his sails and
set his jib for another voyage o’er the matri-
monial sea. The happy spouse is said to be
a most worthy MassacbuSctts lady. We
fear, however, that some of the single “sis-
ters of the church," who have been eyeing
our genial friend with an anxious solitude
for some time past, will not be entirely pleas_
ed by his having gone outside “the fold” to
select his joyous bride.
Mrs. Henry H. Goldey of Newfield street,
Stamford, was quite badly injured on
Thursday, Nov. run, by being thrown from
her carriage while out riding on one of the
cross-roads lfl the. upper part of the town.
A runaWay lmsc hunched to a lumber-box
wagon, came up behind and the wagon
catching in one of the hind wheels of her
carriage immediately upset it, throwing Mrs.
G. heavily to the ground, and her horse
starting up she was drawn some little dis-
tance in the wreck, thereby being badly
bruised. Fortunately her horse was a gentle
one and soon stopped at her command. Af-
ter being extricaled from the ruins and her
horse detached by some gentlemen who came
to her assistance, she was kindly allowed to
walk home, leading her horse, a distance of
something over a mile. She has suffered
much and has not yet recovered from the ef-
fect of the accident.

. Tastes Differ.
The people of Boston claim that their
Coehituate water has a cucumber taste, and
the people of South Norwalk not to be out-
done, say their Huckleberry water has a fishy
taste, and it is rumored that they are about
organizing a crocodile hunt at their reservoir.
~ Superior Court News.
Dr.. Trowbridge appeared before the Sn-
perior Court last Monday, and explained the
reason of his absence when his case was call-
ed. He said that he was deaf and did not
understand his lawyers to say that he was
wanted that day. The case was then re-
opened and continued until next term.
In the case of John Gafiney of Norwalk,
convicted of sodomy, the motion in arrest of
judgment was overruled, and a motion in
error and a motion fora new trial were filed.
The sentence was not pronounced and the
case will go to the Supreme Court.
Vote Straight.
Let every Republican vote next Monday
he a straight note. The Democracy are whi p-
ped beyond peradventnre, if no scratched
tickets are voted by republicans. They wil
ply their old dodge of coaxing votes for their
candidates. but boys, we have them on the
run, and their defeat is sure if you stand by
your guns.

More Railroads.
The past week there have been at least two
sets Of surveyors running new railroad lines
through the northern and eastern portion of
our town. One set is generally recognized
as the Vanderbilt line surveyors, and another
operating very near the lines run by the form-
er party, is supposed to be the new through
Boston & New York Air Line, which is now
built down through Massachusetts to the
Connecticut line, and is being pushed by the
Blood interest toward New York. Then a
third line of surveyors’ stakes may mean the
Parallel or any other project. But it is evi-
dent that somelhing in the way of another
railroad line to New York is pretty surely ‘to
be completed before the end of another year.
The Vanderbilt interests claim the New York
&. New Haven has contracted with the Penn-
sylvania Central, and that the New York &
Erie has an eastern outlet by way of the New
England Road, while he has no Eastern con-
necting line for his New York Central and
Lake Shore Roads, and he will not thus be
left out in the cold.
The new enterprise of extending the Dan-
bury Road to tide-water, has in contempla-
tion the running of a steamboat train from
Danbury to New York. on a schedule of one
hour by rail and two by steamer. This will
be at a low rate of fare, and a fast freight
will run from the boat to Danbury every
morning, conveying fruits, vegetables, &c.
Excursion trains will also run over the road
as far as Wilton to and from tide-water, to
take our up-country cousins to the shore
where they can pic-hie and bathe in the salt
sea waves. This will prove a popular enter-
prise and pay well for the outlay.
One of the new through surveys runs di-
rectly through the residence of Mr. J. W.
Pinkney on North Union avenue. »
'rns VANDERBILT SURVEY.
Mr. Curtis and surveying party returned
to this place on Wednesday last, and are now
revising the line through Norwalk, Westport
and the East, as run by them a few weeks
since. While on their work East since they
left this place, Mr. Curtis has been looking
over the projector’s line through the State,
and a good many lines suggested by the peo-
ple living in the valleys and mountain tops,
all of whom have a good route to show, and
are profuse with arguments in favor of their
particular project. To carry out the various
suggestions of amateur railroad experts
would require grades of some three hundred
feet to the mile,together with tunnels through
the mountains and ridges, and suspension
bridges over the valleys, making an expense
that would make quite a hole even in Mr.
Vanderbilt’s pocket. Anyone who is familiar
with the ridges and valleys of this State, by
tracing on the map an air line from Port
Chester to Boston, can readily see that such
a line would cross a constant succession of
ridges and valleys of no mean proportions,
which would neccessitate heavy grades,
sharp curves, tunnels and bridges, which
would render fast time on such a line impos-
sible. The points an air line would touch,
from Port Chester through the State, are the
towns of ‘Greenwich, Stamford, Darien, Nor-
walk and Westport, substantially on the line
of the Parallel survey. From Westport East
it would pass through or over Greenfield
Hills, go several miles north of Bridgeport,
near Parlor Rock on the Housatonic Railroad,
pass through the romantic mountains and
over the valleys of Derby, through North
Haven, Middlefield, across the Connecticut
River, a few miles below Middletown, thence
in direct line to Putnam, thence to Boston.
That any man, or set of men, could be in-
duced to build a railroad on such a line as
this, no one not railroad crazy, Could be in-
duced to believe, and we are confident that
» when a route is decided upon, that it will be
the short line, where easy grades and curves
can be had, where quick time can be made»
and where there is a population to support
the road. _
The_steamer Adélphi completed, on her
downward trip, last Friday, a very success-
ful season's work, having, during the past
summer, furnished a speedy, safe and de-
lightful daily excursion from Norwalk to the
upper and lower portions of the city. Not-
withstanding some reports unfavorable to, the
boat have been constantly circulated, It is
nevertheless true, as we have been assured on
the best authority, that at the time the Adel-
phi received her new boiler, which is admit-
ted to be the best that could be made, she
was subjected to a most thorough examina-
tion, and was put in complete order, no ex-
pense having been spared to make her in
every particular equal to the demands upon
her, and she has made her daily trips during
the season without a single accident or mis-
hap, that could in any way be charged toa
lack of sea-worthy qualities of the boat.
Whether Mr. White, in view of the desire
which obtains in all the relations of life, for
something new, even if really no better than
the old and the tried, will judge best to put
a new boat on the route the coming spring;
of this we are sure, that our citizens may
consider it fortunate if as good and reliable
a boat as the Adelphi has proved to be dur-
ing the past season, shall be put on the line
another year. . '
Rev. H. E. Wing has returned to his pas-
torate in Iowa. He is well posted in the
public affairs of his State, as an old ex-editor
is surcto he, and gave us the glad assurance
that the Hon. James F. Wilson will be elect-
ed to the U. S. Senate without the shadow
Of adoubt. Wilson is one of the largest-
natured and brainiest men in the West, and
Iowa will do herself and the Nation honor
and service by sending him to Washington
as her Senator.

Republicans, Attention.
The Democrat, the “official organ" Of the
borough Democracy, gives the hours at which
the polls will open next Monday morning, as
at eleven o’clock. We could not believe the
borough organ would deliberately misstatc
the legal hour of opening the polls, which is
seven o'clock, and our borough officials assure
us that the organ has “blundered,” to call it
no worse a name. The legal hours of voting
are from 7 a. in. until 3 p. m., and now will
the “ofilcial organ” stop right out to the front
and explain how it came to give such mis-
leading figures, which, if believed, would de-
prive many of our commuters of their vote ?
Upon discovering the error, the Warden im-
mediately ordered the publication of the no-
tice in the GAzurrn, properly corrected, in
order that no voter might be deceived. It
will be found in our advertising columns.
Obituary.
An unusual number of aged citizens have
passed from earth during the past few days
and whose obituaries appear in our mortuary.
record to-day.
Mr. Jessup R. St. John, aged seventy-six,
was a well-known native of Norwalk. He
was a batter by trade, working for several
years at Smith & Palmer’s, and was a man of
tenacious memory, of a genial, social nature,
and esteemed by all who knew him for his
good—hearted, social qualities.
Mrs. Sally Elwood, relict of the late Shu-
bel Elwood, died early Monday morning at
the great age of ninety years. She wasa
most worthy lady and highly esteemed. She
was the mother of Rev. David M. Elwood
of Stamford, of Charles and John Elwood of
Westport, and Samuel Elwood of Norwalk.
She was one of three sisters, Mrs. James
Benedict of Norwalk, aged eighty-five, and
Mrs. Rockwell of Wilton, aged ninety—one,
both of whom survive her.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Fitch Raymond have been
called to mourn the‘loss of a bright and in-
teresting two-year-old child. It died and-
denly of thatgfell destroyer of infantile life,

PLEASURE.
This evening, at Music Hall, city, the
Rev. H. H. Barbour will discourse upon
“ Pleasure." the lecture being fer the benefit
of the 01d Well Hook & Ladder Company’s
library.
The Coming Supper.
The Ladies’ Society of St. Paul’s Parish
announce their annual Fair and Supper,-to be
held in the Opera House, on Wednesday and
Thursday afternoons and evenings of this
week. Among the special attractions Offered
in addition to the Supper are a New England
Kitchen, Bazaar, Gipsey tent, etc. There
will be no lack of good things to eat, fancy
articles to purchase, novelties to entertain,
and pretty girls to extend a welcome. The
ladies or St. Pauls, fully understand the art
of entertaining their friends. Be sure to call
on them and enjoy a pleasant evening.
On {Wednesday evening, at Lockwood’s
Hall, an entertainment for the benefit of the
Mission Church will be given. There will
be music, tableaux, and plenty of eatables.
Donations can be sent to the hallon Wednes-
day. The cause is a worthy one and should
be encouraged.
Of “100 Wives," which is to be played at
Music Hall, next Saturday evehing. the Hart-
ford Tz'mes says:
“It is a very striking play, and from the
beginning of the third not one deeply fasci-
nating. The plot is simp‘e enough. The
conversion of an English wife to Mormomism
leads her to abandon her home with mother
and child, and follow the apostle into the
wilderness and across the plains to the Salt
Lake Zion. She has been induced to believe
that her husband will follow in the next ves.
so], while he has been informed by telegram
that she considers herself separated and di-
vorced from him forever. He, however,
follows her to Salt Lake. The motive at
work is the love of the apostle, “Elder Bi-
sam,” for the wife, and the saving power at
the end is the military of Uncle Sam. A
very pretty underplot is furnished by the at.
tempt of a “Mrs. McGinley" to make her
huge husband marry more—a hundred—-
wives, so that she will be able to rule them.
The incidents of mining life near Salt Lake
and the heathen Chinese furnish the humor—
ous contingent to the play. The acting was
superb in the case of “Mr. McGinley" (De-
Wolf Hopper) and his wife Mrs. McGlnley
(Nellie Gardner). The child was not only
good at reciting her part, but a veritable act-
ress with pathos of expression, naturalness
of demeanor, and clever childlike ways that
took the audience by storm. The “Heathen
Chinee” is certainly thebest and neatest copy
of Chinese absurdities now on the stage."

The Royal Bell Ringers.
Since their arrival in this country this
company delighted large audiences wherever
they have appeared. Mr. North writes to us
that he is anxious to have all our people enjoy
this wonderful music and adds :
“One thing is certain, the next day after
their performance there will be a sick and
disappointed set of people who now think
this company are only bell ringers, and that
they-have heard such before, but when they
learn what their friends enjoy, they will
say: ‘Wliatfools we were not to have heard
them.’ In order to accommodate children,
adults and others who cannot attend in the
evening, a matinee at 4 o'clock will be held
at Music Hall. Admission 50 cents; child-
ren 25. At New Haven over 2,000 children
were delighted as never before with the
charming bells, the 51:0 songs and witty
sayings.” _
-We hope that our readers will secure seats
at once, for we believe from all that we have
heard of them that they give a refined and
most delightful entertainment.
The New Haven Palladium says:
“A large and very enthusiastic audience at
Peck Grand Opera House on Saturday even-
ing welcomed this company of artists on the
occasion of their first appearance in this city.
The performance amply gratified the antici-
pations of pleasure that had been formed
from Mr. Gough’s recent flattering comments
on their performances abroad. In this
special line of entertainments this famous
quintette is without a rival and exhibits
unsuspected possibilities in campanology.
The rapidity of movement of its members
may be conjectured from the fact that they
execute music generally attempted with but
half the her of bells and with double the
number ldfiplerformers. The carillon of 131
bells ranges from “Big Ben” of 11:} pounds
weight to "Ben, J r.” weighing but 3;- ounces.
These bells have been manufactured with
the utmost care, are in perfect tune and emit
tones of great volume and richness. In the
“Turkish Patrol March”(a piece, by the way
never before attempted by “‘ringers”) seven.
ty-five bells were used and handled with a
skill that called forth the heartiest applause
from the delighted audience. The selections
were generally of a popular character, but
the versatility of the performers was shown
by the fine reditiou of a portion of Rossini's
“Moses in Egypt" (To The Great Lord I”
The singing of old English glees was very
spirited and pleasing. Under the conduct of
Mr Miller the entire entertainment was a
brilliant success."

The Thorpe-Jordan Combination played to

Our high school is, under the cfilcient man-
agement of Superintendent Walradt, gaining
a wide reputation outside of our town. as is
demonstrated by the large number of schol-

school, for we believe there is none better in
the State.
We are informed that a large eagle was

The new oyster steamer, being built by
Messrs. Richards & Weed, for Capt. Peter
Decker, is rapidly nearing completion, and
will in a short time be launched. She is a
model of neatness and beauty, and reflects
great credit upon her builders.
Tenants are very scarce in this city.aud 18
consequence rents are rather high, which has
a tendency to keep people from other places,
who find employment here, from settling
among us. A large number of people are
employed in our city who live in other towns
and who can procure commutation tickets on
the railroads and come out and in every day
cheaper than they can live among us, and
high rents in, among other things, one of the
reasons that keep them away. We think it
would be a good investment for some of our
monied men to erect a sufilcient number of
small residences and rent them so as to be an
inducement for these people to settle among
US.

Our batters are not very busy at present,
after an unusual long and brisk fall trade,
and some of the shops are running on small
orders yet, but we understand most of them
are making preparations for a large spring
trade, which will probably commence as soon
as the middle of December. Messrs. Doty
& Barnum have about completed an addition
to their factory of 50 x 25 feet and an ofilce
annexed. Crofut & Knapp are putting in a
new boiler in their upper shop and making
other preparations, and we are informed that
Adams Brothers intend to build a‘large addi-
tion to their factory. Smith &. Palmer and
Hubbell 88 Barthel are doing quite a trade
yet in ladies hats, but the work will not last
much longer. The batters say this last trade
has been one of the best in a good many
years.
For more than a week the trains on the
Consolidated road have been filled with
Thanksgiving passengers on their way to and
from New England.
Last Friday, Officer Hallock, with the as-
sistance of “ Shug,” waltzed a middle-aged
man, of rather neat appearance, who looked
as thought he might have been a farmer, into
the lock-up for being “how come you so,"
and rather recklessly driving about the
streets. There were two women in the
wagon with him just before he was arrested,
but they got out and took a train home. We
were unable to learn the man’s name.
Deacon Stephen Ferris has had the large
willow tree in front of his house cut down.
The assessment of benefits and damages in
the widening and laying out of Woodward
avenue as far as the street leading to Bur-
ritt’s Island have been laid, but just how
soon the work will be commenced remains to
be seen. That the widening of the street is
a much needed improvement no one doubts,
but why the work should terminate just
where it does, and not be extended down to
the entrance of E. A. Woodward’s place, for
above, we are unable to state.
Thanksgiving day passed Off as usual in
this city as regard the eating of turkey,—
those who could afford them had them, and
those who could not went with out unless
they were fortunate enough to be presented
with one. The usual union service was held
in the Congregational church, the sermon be-
ing preached by Rev. Arza Hill, and is well
spoken of.
A man arrived at the City Hotel, Saturday
night, and was given a good room. Judging
by his appearance that he was from the
country and possibly not familiar with the
use of gas, Landlord Bartlett explained the
same to him. He replied that he knew all
about that, Are. About 4 a. m., Mrs. Bartlett
woke up and detected the smell of gas. Search
revealed the fact that the new comer had
blown out the gas upon retiring. If it had
not been for the fan light over the door the
man would probably have been found dead.
“One Hundred Wives" is a clean and whole-
some play and carries with it a moral. The
moral is more readily learned from witness-

The Roll 3? . 13' System.
Of all the disc ’ our modern and
civilized way of '. __.5, nothing entails more
difficulty or discomfort than keeping our-
selves warm during cold- weather. This has
led to the Holly system of house-heating in
thickly-settled towns and cities. It was in-
troduced into Hartford last year and proved
such a complete success that it is now being
introduced into New Haven, while Spring.
field and many other cities have long since
tested its great convenience and economy.
It has been adequately demonstrated that
our dwellings can be heated by steam, (con.
ducted through pipes in the same manner as
water and gas) at a less cost than is usually
paid for fuel alone, in the old way. The
Palladium of Friday, the 18th, gives the fol-
lowing details of the New Haven enterprise
and the manner it is to be constructed and
conducted:
The work of laying the parallel mains for
the introduction of the Holly heating system
in this city is progressing rapidly. The
building for the purpose of generating the
steam will be on the rear of the lot at the
foot of Temple street, the front part of the
lot. to be used by the electric light company
for its new building. The building of the
steam heating company will be of brick, 100
feet long and 75 feet wide. It will be sup-
plied with twelve Bigelow boilers, each five
feet in diameter and sixteen feet long. These
boilers will be connected with the mains
which will run through Temple street to
Center, to Church, to Chapel and to State
streets, and in State from Crown and Elm
streets. The mains are of iron enclosed in
wooden shells to prevent radiation, the
shells being covered with a preparation
of asphaltum and sodium applied when hot.
The shells are seventeen inches in diameter.
the thickness outside the iron pipe being
four inches. The iron mains are to be eight
inches in diameter from the steam room to
Chapel street, and then six inches, and will
be covered with asbestos and then wound
with paper securely fastened with twine,
One of the mains will be for high pressure
and the other for low pressure. The com-
pany will furnish. power as well as heat,
hence the two mains. The boilers will be
capable of furnishing steam at distance of
one mile and a quarter. The service pipes
connecting with residences or stores will
vary from one _to:three inches in diameter,
according to the size of the space to be
heated. Steam will be introduced to the va.
rious rooms by radiators such as have been
in use several years, and will pass through a
meter in the same way as gas or water, The
expense of heating will therefore depend
largely upon the economy‘ of the taker. The
expense for a house Of ordinary size is esti-
mated to be about $75 per year. E. P. Hol-
ly, the assistant engineer, who is now in the
city and who has charge of the work of in-
troducing the system, states that last winter
he heated 16,000 feet of space at an expense
of $102. It is expected that the laying of the
mains over the route indicated above will be
completed by December 15 unless extreme
coldweather sets in. The building will be
in readiness and tqe boilers at work by the
last of January.
Here in Norwalk we are sure the Messrs.
Olmstead & Co. could pipe the Borough, say
from their foundry to the section around
Union Park, and from Main street up and
around North Ave. to the church Green,
thence down East Ave. to the Earle mansion
and back to the Bridge, and after piping
within the houses and stores were completed,
furnish any desired amount of heat required
and at a less cost than each individual house-
holder now pays every winter for the coal
and firewood annually consumed for the
same purpose. We have given the subject
quite as confident from the information we
have gathered that were the Messrs. Olm-
stead 85 Co. to undertake this enterprise.
there would be a larger profit to them than
they can possibly'realize out of their exten-
sive foundry business, large as that is under.
stood to be. Or a joint stock company might
be organized for the same purpose, and it
would earn far more popularity and much
larger dividends than our gas company ev'er
can do. Heat is a necessity for which there
is no substitute in our climate. Let the
householder know that it can be supplied as
simply as his water or gas. by the turning of
a thumb-screw, with no dust of .coal or
ashes, no breakings of stoves and furnaces
and backs, and at a cost less than is required
for the fuel with which he litters and deflles
his buildings, and the problem is at once
solved.
This is to be the mode of house heating in
the near future, as surely as that gas and
water will continue to be piped through our
streets and buildings. The reform cannot
spread too soon. Who will be first to intro-
duce it into Norwalk? Don't all rush into it
at once.

C '»' [1 Railroad Rumors.
Thursday's Tribune gives the following
sensational statements :
A ROAD IN NEW HANDS.
The control of the New York and New
England Railroad has passed, it is reported,
into the hands of Jay Gould and his chief
associates in the elevated railroad manage-
men. The! transfer books closed yesterday
preparatory "to the annual meeting, anda
majority of the stock is believed to be held
in their interest. It is not improbable that,
if they gain control of the company, they
will build soon a new line from Danbury to
New York, in opposition to the New Haven
Road. Connection will be made with the
Second Avenue elevated railroad, so that
passengers and freight may be carried on that
line without change of cars.
The above is supplemented by the follow.
ing news telegram :—
THE NEW xNGLAND RAILROAD.
BoerN, Nov. 23.—Thc report that Jay
Gould had secured control of the New York
and New England Railroad, is said to have
been a surprise to the management of the
road as there was nothing on the books to
show that Messrs. Gould, Sage or Field had
secured any of the stock. The officers say
they know nothing about the matter, but
admitted that the articles on the subject in
the New York papers this morning exhibit a
good knowledge of the situation.
The Bridgeport Morning News says:
The New York, New 'Havcn & Hartford
Railroad company, are widening the road
bed where it crosses Pembroke Lake. The
dirt taken from the excavation for the abut-
ments of the Prospect street bridge in West
Stratford, is being used for that purpose. A
foundations for the bridge.
The above indicates the new “four tracks”
as already extending east of Bridgeport. An
active movement is also reported as on foot
and extend the Bridgeport dock line some
eighty feet outward to the channel, over
which the Consolidated line has its present
line, so that an additional number of tracks
may be laid thereupon, and greater facilities
offered all the railroads centering in Bridge-
port to move their enormous quantities of
heavy freight by water,—and which is said
to tax all their energies and facilities as nev-
er before.
The railway and steamboat ofi‘ieials at
New Haven agree in saying that they never
knew the freight traffic to be sofgreat as now.
The BridgeportMorning News still further
says! .
There is an unusual activity among the
freightjcarrying companies in this city just at
present, which bids to increase rather than
decline, as the season advance. .
- The one great cry of the railroads is for
more freight cars. All the rolling stock used
for freight is pressed into use and the demand
far exceeds the supply. At the Naugatnek
wharf an old employee says he never saw
anything that had as yet compared to the
present rush. With its heavy merchandise,
such as Iron, coal, brick and lumber, and
manufactured articles, the road is really
having more business then they want, with
the present supply of cars. Two large
schooners have been lying at this wharf for
some time, on demurrage, as no cars can be
spared for their cargoes.
The Bridgeport Steamboat company is
running three boats, and each one is carrying
all the freight that can be packed on the
decks.
The Housatonic road is having a large and
steady business and there has been no usual
dull spell for a year or more. All the trains
with freight are long and heavy, and now
and then extras are run out. Just now iron
freights are very heavy on the upper end of
the line. They also complain of the lack of
cars.
The Steamer Rosedale is carrying more in
the freighting business than ever before, and
the managers find no cause for complaint.
Yesterday afternoon there were live long
freight trainsblockadsd by switching at South
avenue, and the scene about the locality was
one of great activity.
In regard to the scarcity of freight cars,
the New Haven Register says :
The extraordinary amount of business
being done in this city and in other places,
especially by the railroads, has set some Of
our capitalists to thinking of how they may
best utilize some of their cash and put it
where it will bring adequate returns, and
have hit upon the idea to organize a joint
stock company for the manufacture of rail-
way freight cars‘to sell to railroad companies
if they wish, but to build with a view to
leasing them to companies who are either too
poor to build their own cars, or to those
whose facilities are insufficient to prodnnc
what they need. This new business is being
seriously agitated, and it is more than likely
that such a company will be organized this
coming winter.
The New York Sun quotes President Wat—
rous of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford road as saying that no proposition
had been made by Mr. Gould to that road, in
reference to an arrangement between the two
roads. This statement caused many to think
there is no truth in the report of Mr. Gould’s
new move on the railroad board, but there is
no room to doubt that the story is true in all
essential particulars. Mr. Sage and Mr. Field
have confirmed it. Those interested in the
project have been quietly picking up stock
and bonds as opportunity offered for a long
time under cover. There is reason to believe
that an effort has also been made to get con-
trol of the Ridgefield and Portchester Rail-
road Company by buying the stock, but it is
not yet certain they have secured enough to
accomplish the desired purpose. This road
was organized some years ago, but has never
been built. If the newparties succeed in
getting control, it is, said that they will at
once build the road in a first-class manner
with a double track and steel rails, and that
it will cross over the Harlem river by a bridge
and enter New York on the Second avenue
elevated road.

Congressman Hiskock says of his chances
for the Speakerehip: “I consider them to be
the very best. Indeed, I am confident of
success, and this opinion is shared by my
friends in all sections who have communica-
ted with me on the subject. I have advices
from all over the country and everyone seems
to express the kindest feelings toward me.
I shall have the warmest support of each and
every member of the Republican delegation
from New York, and the united sentiment
of the Republicans and the Republican press
of the State.” This is a sanguine estimate,
but it seems to be an accurate one. The best
of it is that Mr. Hiscock fully deserves the
flattering support which he is receiving.—
