. .l'he Proposed New Railroads.
Our friends of the Hartford Post could
not have carefully read through what we
,had to say last week concerning the new
railroad schemes now engrossing the atten-
tion of the Legislature and the people of
Connecticut. otherwise it would not falsely
represent the Gauss: to be so nearly in the
position of the Maine Law reformer, who
was earnestly in favor of the law, but reso-
lutely opposed to its' enforcement. The Post
says very truly, that “there is substantially a
. unanimous feelinglin the borough of Norwalk
in favor of the [a] new road.” It errs as
greatly however, in its statement that the
Gram “does not at all represent the senti-
ment of the people in the vicinity of its pub-
ication," as it does in its conjecture that Mr.
Byington, “one of the strongest advocates of
aParallel road” is in Washington. On the
contrary, Mr. Byington chanced to be at
home last Monday and wrote every word of
' the misinterpreted railroad article himself,
and he nowstands ready to defend the jus-
tice and wisdom of the position therein taken.
Moreover he has had the approving assurances
of many of our most capable and judicious
Parallel road friends, here in Norwalk
borough. that his position in the contest, as
stated last week, was the only practicable
one, he at least,could honorably take. Among
others, we will venture to name the Hon.
Asa B. Woodward. who as Senator from the
12th District in 1871, not only zealously es.
pecially the Parallel railroad cause, but took
an important part in the preparation of the
present General Railroad law, accepted it
and urged its passage through the Legisla-
ture. with the hearty approval and coopera-
tion of all the active Parallel advocates taking
-part in the contest, that year. We will also
name as another, heartily endorsing our
views, Dr. James G. Gregory. who was the
able and sagacious representative from our
borough in the Legislature two years ago.
These two, are gentlemen whose practical
common sense, good judgment or probity,
will not be questioned. We could name many
others, were it needful or of consequence.
'Farthermore he believes with all the light of
his many years of 'active participation in
efforts to secure the building of a new rail-
road,» that if such a road ever is built,
it must and will be done, under the
General Railroad laws of our State. That law
as it now stands on the Statute Books,
is a child of our Parallel advocates’ own
begetting. If we were cheated in the law,
we cheated ourselves in craving it, in pre-
paring. adapting and aiding in its passage.
We for one do not propose to plead the baby
act now,and violate the pledges that were then
made, that it should be accepted by the con-
lestants,in good faith.and honorably abided by
As stated. the friends of the Parallel scheme
eagerly accepted the law exactly as it now
stands, as a compromise with the N. Y. «I? N.
.H. R. R. Co. But the spirit of that compro-
mise was that the law should prove such an
enactment as under it, any one having the
means could build as many railroads as the
prospects of remnnmtive business might
warrant. It is now claimed (by some, not
by all,) that experience has shown that a rail-
road cannot be built without almost insuper-
able difiiculties, under all the restrictive pro-
visions of our existing law. If this be so
then let the Legislature be pressed to amend
the presrnt law so that the building of rail-
roads may be as free to capitol as the build-
ing of steamboats or the starting of new na-
tional banks or newspapers. The Connecti-
cut law was drafted substantially from the
New York general railroad law. We are
told by lawyers, who ought to know. that
the later Massachusetts general railroad law
is an improvement upon ours. That under it
two years is :allowed for organization, and
that permission to bridge navigable waters
is guaranteed. only it must be done under the
direction of the State Board of Railroad
Commissioners, which seems a judicious and
not unreasonable provision. With the money
in hand we believe the Parallel can he built
under our general law just as it we is. We
know it has many times been the purpose of
the promoters to thus build it. We now have
Mr. Olmstead's assurances that if a special
charter is denied, it will be built under the
general law. We are confident he and his
associates “ mean business," and we rejoice
in their determination, as much as will every
man, woman and child in this vicinity, on
the day when the first pick and shovel
shall break the ground for a new road.
With these facts in view 10's do not propose
to be a party to a hypocritical pretense that
it is' because of defects in our law that the
Parallel has not been built, when we know
the fact to be. that' the capitol required, has
never hitherto been secured. On Saturday
we obtained an important item of informa-
tion, corroborative of our position as stated
above. Mr. James Osborn, who resides just
this side of the Borough water reservoir.
states that Mr. Vanderbilt's chief surveying
‘ engineer stopped at his house, that after run.
ning his lines across the southerly borders of
New Canaan and into Wilton, he discovered
' that his compass was out of order and its
variations had carried him too far west and
north. Mr. Osborn also conveyed this engi-
neer in his carriage over to Residing, and he
stated to Mr. (Mha' Mr. Vanderbilt had sent
him out to run an exact air line from’ltye, N.
Y., to Derby, Conn, regardless of opposing
topographical or other obstacles. That from
Derby it was to be continued in an air line
to the northeastern corner of our State,where
it crossed into Massachusetts and thence di-
rent to Boston. He assured Mr. 0. that this
road would be ,built, regardless of how many
other schemes might be afloat, and that Mr.
Vanderbilt would build it under the general
railroad (aloof Oonnsotrhut. He furthermore
stated that his air line, from Rye to Derby,
properly run, would pas: through Norwalk
in the vicinity of Winnipauk. From the
above it would seem that we stand a godd
chance of having two parallel railroads built.
If so, we Believe Connecticut can support
three roads quite as well as New Jersey sup-
ports fourteen, running nearly parallel out of
New York and into her sandy borders. We
beg our legislators to amend the general rail-
road law, if it be imperative, so that all the
roads that can command the money for
their building, may be constructed. At all
events we entreat the Legislative Railroad
Committee to recommend such a law as will
give us the same unrestricted freedom in
building railroads as is given in our joint
stock and other general laws, to all other
kindred enterprises, to the end that the legis-
lature and the people behind it. may be for.
ever rid of the excitement. demoralization
and nuisance of these annual railroad con-
tests. Do this much. Messrs. Legislators.
and every honest, disinterested constituent
will gratefully thank you.
At Best.
The aged and revered Marza Scribnbr,who
for almost a century has lived on Nototon
Hill,died at his home on Wednesday last and
was buried :on Friday. At the time ,of his
death he was probably the oldest citizen of
the town of Norwalk.
Industrial School.
. An entertainment was given last evening
bv the children of of the Industrial School,
at the hall of Concord Division, 8. of T.
This institution, started by some of the good
ladies of the town, now numbers some sixty
girl pupils, who are taught sewing, are given
instruction in art work, etc., free. It is de-
signed for all girls who desire instruction.
It seems to be a- very worthy enterprise and
should he liberally encouraged. At first ses-
sions were held at a private house, but the
school has grown so large that the Lecture
Room of the First Congregational church
has been secured. .

The arguments before the Railroad Com-
mittee, which were not finished last week,

“ And Still they Come.”
After those breechy and frisky democratic
colts, Hyatt and Cotter, had vaulted into
the Republican enclosure and were seen
gorging themselves with our rich and use-
tious fodder, it was to beexpected that other
lean, and hungry Democrats, who had so
long stood without with mouths watering and
chins dripping, with the drool of expected
office, should also strive to break into our
greener pastures. But we were not prepared
for such a rush! Here we find Dann, and De
Forest, and Sullivan and young Honnecker,
and Great Scott only knows who eh. trying
to break through our Republican fencesl
One day last week we met“Doc" Brush,
with delicate, lavender necktie exquisitely
bow-knotted about his immaculate linen, and
we could plainly see by his general get up
and the tender gleam of his mild blue eye
that he, too, was contemplating a rush into
the Republican camp—or matrimony. Be-
side him stood , Editor Palmer, newly
“ clothed and in his right mind," with just as
clean a shirt collar and uninfiamed nose as
any Republican, and we could discern by
the twitching of his muscles, the contemplat-
ed summersault that was even then overpow-
ering his stubborn, democratic will. Poor
fellows, who can blame them, or who can
estimate the gnawing pangs of their empty
stomachs. Rats will leaves sinking ship,
and though the lusty Phalanx boys have
worked themselves nearly to death (with
thirst) at the pumps. in the desperate effort
to keep the rotton old ship of democracy
afloat, she is still sinking, and who could
stand twenty years of famine,with a prospect
of forty more to come? It isn't in human
nature to contend against such odds, and so
we welcome you Messrs. Hyatt, Cotter, Dann,
Honnecker,!st i'd omns 'gsnuainto our already
already overcrowded Republican church,
while the choir sings:
“ And while the lamp holds out to burn,” etc.
F:________._=!
Still Another.
An now it transpires that (ax-Mayor Samu-
el Daskam was a regular boarder in the house
with President Arthur, and that ex-Mayor
George R. Cholwell has relations of peculiar
intimacy with our Republican President.
Why, the bottom seems all tumbling out of
the Norwalk Democracy.
—_
AND 111‘ Axornnm—And now it is the
elder Dann (Wm. E.) who was seen in New
York on Tuesday last. riding with General
Grant. Well, where is this democratic stam-
pede going to stop ? Even f‘Jeems ” Mitchell
mourns because there are,as he says, “no
real, old-fashioned, honest, Jacksonian Dem-
ocrats left in Norwalk.” Next.

The Freeport Myssery.
Coroner Denton is still waiting for new
facts before calling the jury together and
holding another session in the case of Ella
Clark, whose body was found in a swamp at
Freeport, L. I. Sufiioicnt evidence has
already been given fully identifying the re-
mains and showing that the unfortunate wo
man was the victim of malpractice, and that
the crime was committed in New York.
Detective Payn, who has been working on
the case since the finding of the body in the
body in a swamp, says that he has evidence
to show who the person was that took the
body and threw it where it was found. A
few day’s since this man’s counsel called
upon Payn and agreed that if he (Payn)
would furnish a written immunity from the
District Attorney the accused person would
tell from whom he received the body in New
York and all he knew about the matter.—
N. Y. Herald, Saturday.
Ella Clark is the pretty young Irish sewing
girl, who mysteriously disappeared from
Stamford last summer and . concern-
ing whom the air is so full of sensational
rumors concerning Norwalk parties with her.
It is believed there are persons in Norwalk
who were intimate with the girl, but no evi
dence is as yet adduced that these parties
were in any way connected with her abduc-
tion or death.
Mary Allen, the young woman who bur-
glarously hid under a legislator’s bed at
Ha‘rtford, pleaded not guilty on Wednesday.
The p.0secution introduced their evidence.
and the case was continued till Saturday at
the request of Samuel F. Jones, attorney for
the woman. ‘ It appears that she has‘adopted
many names at different times—Hartford
Post.
What with the New London bridge, the
liquor license question, the half-dozen difier.
ent “ Parallel ” railroad schemes, and this
last new peril of a thieving woman secreted
at night under a virtuous member's bed, the
lot of a Connecticut Legislator for 1882, “is
not a happy one.”
A satisfactory arrangement has been made
for the adjustment of the Thames bridge
matter between the railroad interests and the
respondents. The compromise is that the
Legislature shall grant authority to the
Providence and Stonington Railroad com-
pany to construct a bridge across the Thames
river; but the location of the bridge and its
character shall depend wholly upon the ap-
proval of a commission to be appointed by
the War and Navy departments at Washing-
ton. To this proposed set and its proviso
the counsel for New London and other
interests in that section will make no oppo-
sition, and, in this view of the ease, the Leg-
islature will of course grant the legislation,
asked for.
m
Arrears of Pension Bill.
[New York Tribune]
But the one breath of wholesome and fresh
air in all the windiness of the 'discusssion
came from Senator Plait of Connecticut,who
in a few plain words dismissed a good deal of
prevailing nonsense and laid down the
common sense view of the whole subject of
soldiers' pensions. Speaking of the appeal
which had been made on behalf of the ,
soldiers of the Mexican war, whose bravery
and heroism had _been eloquently extolled,
he said:
“But, Mr. President, we do not pension
bravery; we do not pension heroism; we do
not pension patriotism. A man owes some-
thing to his country. He owes service in
its army; he owes bravery; he owes hero-
ism ; he owes patriotism. We pension men
because they are disabled in war, and that
is the only ground upon which I am willing
to vote for a pension. Show me that a man
has been disabled by his, service and I will
vote that he shall have a pension; and I will
not be critical as to proof of that disability.
If he makes a case where even a remote
probability is established that his disability
can be traced to army service, that man shall
have my vote for a pension. But I know
no other ground upon which a pension can
be based in justice, in equity, or in common
sense.”
This is the sensible and the only sensible
view of the subject. It is business-like, it is
honest, it is just to the soldier and just to the
government, and there is no bid in it for the
votes of any class, except of those who love
justice for its own sake, and whose sole desire
is for good government and the public weal.

The Gazette says it likes to see us prosper
in everything except our "horrid politics."
Thanks, Brother Byington; but we beg leave
to remind you that our “horrid politics”
governed this country for about seventy
years, and it was well governed, too. By the
way we had a navy then and a good merchant
marine, but then there were no Republicans
around, you know—Democrat.
Yes, and we can never forget that had
there been no democratic party. in this
country, there never would have been any
treason and rebellion, with its four - years of
cruel, merciless, bloody and death-dealing
war.

Deputy John Fitch Raymond to hasten to

Horse Injured.
We are sorry to learn that our friend 0'
E. Wilson has had the misfortune to have
his horse badly injured by getting its leg
through the floor of its stall, and lacerating
its limb and breaking three of its ribs. The
horse was not oulya valuable one, but a
special pet and favorite of the family.
The D. & N. R. R. Extension.
Work on the line for the extension of the
Danbury & Norwalk Railroad to Wilson’s
Point has commenced in earnest, both in
grading and dredging for the steamboat pier
and coal wharves, and the indications now
are that the work will be completed and in
working order by the time specified in the
contract viz., July lst next. The grading is
now going forward rapidly near Main street
just below the residence of Mr. Burbank, to
or nearly opposite the old Brooks place,
there being some hundred and fifty Italians,
with overseers. etc.. between those points,
and they are making rapid progress. The
grading has been sublet to Mr. Oscar Bates
and partner, who have just completed a con-
tract ou the New England road near Hart-
ford, and as they have had ample experience
they are making every day’s work show.
The dredging at the Point commenced some
ten days since, and as there are no rocks or
other obstructions, goes forward with great-
rapidity. The mud taken up and filled into
scows, is towed out to reef lying westerly
from Shetlield’s Island Lighthouse, and
there dumped, thus making a beginning for
the breakwater which it is to be hoped will
ere long be authorized and completed by
congressional appropriation. The right of
way has all been secured, and it is expected
that work will be commenced on the embank-
ment of the Consolidated road where the
extended line passes under their tracks near
the factory of Smith & Palmer. The con-
tract for this work including excavation,
masonry.!and the iron trusses, is all to be
done under the direction of the officers of
the Consolidated road, and has been taken by
Mr. lledfield, who has constructed most of
the best work in their line for that company
for the last four years. The contract for the
masonry, except that under the track as
stated above, has been taken up by Mr.
Charles Stevens of this town, and will be
finished in due time.
Messrs. R. Cornell White and Mr. Perkins,
together with the committee of the Danbury
d: Norwalk Road, and Messrs. Ferris and
Sandiforthvisitcd Wilson's Point on Thurs-
day last. with reference to the form and
4 location of the Steamboat Pier, and in conse-
quence of their examination the form of the
pier has been modified so as to give much
more room for landing of passengers. The
steamboat pier will be one hundred feet wide
on the shore end, extend two hundred feet
into the Sound, fifty feet wide on the outer
end, and the westerly portion of the pier will
form a portion of the line of wharf up the
cove, which will give a continuous wharf
and pier line, of thirteen hundred feet in
length, with a uniform depth at low water of
nine feet, and a large portion of the wharf
can be used as a safe and quiet landing, in
the severest gales of wind. A station for
the convenience of the residents of Five Mile
River. is to be located at or near the inter-
section of the highways leading tp that place,
and Witch Lane, which will greatly accommo-
date the people Of that section of Norwalk
who take the Steamboat to and from New
York.

Business Changes.
Carpenters and painters are busily at work
in the Borough making alterations —and im-
provements for merchants who are about
changing their places of business,and others.
Mr. Cohen has had painters and paper hang-
ers at work in his rooms, which now present
a fine appearance. Down stairs the store is
being fitted up for Mr. Sherman Stevens’ 99
cent store business—and a fine store he will
have. The bank building has been hand-
somely painted inside and out. Fred Mead
is having a plate glass front put into the
store which he is to occupy, and is fitting up
the same in good shape for his candy busi-
ness. Gregory &. Malkin have painters and
paper hangers still at work. Messrs. Sco-
field d5 Hoyt are soon to fit up their new
store in the GAZETTE BUILDING, in elegant
shape, and Van Hoosear & Ambler have been
painting up their interior, and fitting up a
large and handsome carpet room. The
Opera House improvements are but just
completed. All of the above are on Wall
street, and agood record it is for one street.
Up Main street, Comstock Brothers have
prepainted and decorated their store. Mr.
Sherwood is to occupy the 99 cent store,
thus giving him a fine double store for his
clothing trade. The Combination Clothing
Company will fit up their new age as soon
as they can obtain possession. 1'. Spencer
has decorated his jewelry store. On the
corner of the two streets, Howard S. Delta is
re-psinting the interior of his store giving it
a generally improved and fresh appearance.
Certainly business seems to he improving,
and our merchants are preparing for a fresh
start. Good luck to them.
A Temperance Revival.
All members of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, and all other Ladies
interested in the- work, are earnestly request-
ed to be present at the reopening of their
rooms in Lockwood’s Building,_ Friday
evening March 10th. at seven o’clock. On
Sunday afternoon,March 12th, at four o‘clock
the rooms will be rc-dcdscatcd with appro-
priate services. The public are invited to be
present. Col. Bnin, the eloquent Temper-
ance orator, of Louisville, Ky., is to speak

Danbury.
The fears of a riot in Danbury seems to be
subsiding. ' During the week all manner of
rumors prevailed here but day after day the
reports of violence and death were proved to
be unfounded. The Warden of Danbury
borough issued a proclamation warning the
strikers against unlawful deeds, and disor-
derly assemblagesmnd by request of the local
authorities Governor Bigelow ordered several
Hartford and Waterbury companies of the
National Guard to be ready to go to Danbury
on call. It was a wise precaution, but for-
tunately their services were not needed The
Danbury batters as a rule are intelligent men
and good citizens,and very many of them own
places in which they live. They will certainly
make no disturbance and will not} encour-
age unlawful proceedings on the part of
others. Probably the few assaults made,
and the disorders threatened have largely
originated with the “ floats” who go from
place to place as they can find employment.
The strike is bad for all parties, as all such
strikes are sure to be, but we trust that while
it must end in the loss of money it will not
be marked by unlawful prOccedings and the
loss :1 blood.

City News.
There is no doubt that our city is growing
in wealth and population. In one week the
residents have increased 236, making our to-
tal population on Saturday night exactly
5,236. It is too soon to judge of the charac-
ter of most of the new comers, but from the
evidence already obtained it will be well for
those near where the new comers are located
to keep a sharp look-out and be fully armed
for any emergency. We hear of an errand
boy being molested and robbed by a new
settler, and of one chicken roost that has been
raided. This fact has caused others to place
double guards and locks upon their premises,
barns and chicken coups, and others have
sold out their stock, preferring to do so to
having it stolen. Our police do not patrol
that part of the city, therefore the residents
have resolved to be their Own protectors. It
is rumored that our mayor contemplates the
appointing of ten special police. Others in-
sistjbat the police and the. city marshal, with
his aids. are amply sufficient for any emer-
gency. We shrill see.

Bell Island.
Messrs. Foster and Mansfield, and a party
of seven or eight others from Danbury,
spent several hours on Saturday last at Bell
Island, in selecting sites for the new cottages,
and we believe that several lots were sold to
the visitors. The bridge, from the main
land to the island, which was carried away
in part, by the ice a year ago, is not yet
repaired, and the new owners are anxious
that it should be put in order, as they need
its use ; but the bridge, or the proper authority
to repair it, have got into Chancery, or some
other limbs of the laws delays in consequence
of some commercial people, who desire that
the new bridge should have a draw, to enable
the shipping belonging to the port of entry
up the creek, to go to the head of flat fish
navigation. -
The Steamboat.
We hear that Com. White intends starting
the steamboat on the route about the middle
of April. He also made an agreement (all
though no contract has yet been signed),with
the Danbury do Norwalk Railroad Company
to run a steamboat between Wilson‘s Point
and New York city, to commence July 1st.
He is to charter a good boat for the purpose,
and to build a new boat during the summer
to be put on the route next January. It is
understood, also, that the boat will run to
South N orwalk, as heretofore. stopping both
ways at the Point. Probably some pooling
arrangement will be made by which passen.
gers will be carried over the road and boat
for about the same price as heretofore.

one of deep interest. Dr. De Haas has the
reputation of being one of the best lecturers
of the day, and commands a large price in the
lecture field.
“The audience which assembled at the
Opera House to hear Dr. De Hass last night
heard one of the finest, if not altogether the

are safe in saying that our citizens will not

One day last week while one of our up town

people swear away their land for railroad
purposes for just about- nothing, he was
invited to taki dinner with the high commie

French, German or Chinese, he saw some-

and he ordered soup, which he said was very‘
good, but on second thought he. asked how
many Italians they had on the new work on
the railroad, and on being informed, said he
felt a little squirmish, after eating the soup,
but being used to giving and taking of jokes,
he kept quiet until the waitress came for his
soup plate; when the following conversation
took place. Waitress, what will you have

The General Law and the
Parallel
It has been claimed that the general rail-
road law of this state is so framed that no
road can be built under it unless the Com-
missioners give their consent and that the
Commissioners can, under it,‘fiud constant ex-
cuse for denying consent to any project
which existing lines do not desire to see suc-
ceed. The Hartford Egem'ng Post says on
this:head :—
“It is a fact well known that the so-called
general railroad law was reported and passed
in 1874 wholly though the influenca Of the
Consolidated road, which that year had a
hard struggle to defeat a Parallel road project
which was strongly pressed before the rail-
road committee. It was said that there was
more than an even chance that the legislature
would grant the charter, and the general law
with plenty of teeth in it, was concocted by
Mr. Bishop and Mr. Wheeler—the latter
being a senator—and put through to defeat
the parallel project. The purpose of the act
was fully exposed by Hon. Samuel Fesscu-
den, who made his mark in the legislature as
a champion of the proposed new road. It
was believed then that the law wou‘d kill 01‘
for all time all parallel projects, and that was
its chief object.
The present “Parallel" road asks for a
special charter because it alleges that it can
not. buiid a road under the general law as it
nowlexrsts. We should say that an invalid-
New
with such remedy as may do away with all
one sided or arbitrary restrictions to the hu-
siness, if any such are found to exist.
-—Brldgeport Standard.
The best answer to all the above is,that Mr.
S. E. Olmstcad assures us that if the Legisla-
ture refuses them the special charter asked
for, the Parllel road will be built under the
General Railroad law, and Mr. Olmstead is
apt to know what he is talking about. And
moreover, that is the kind of talk the people
hereabouts believe in and endorse. I V
The Walking Match.
New YORK, March 5.———The great foot
race was over at 10 o‘clok last evening, and
the prediction that a pedestrian would fiuaL
1y travel six hundred miles in six days has
been more than verified. The coptest ended
with the following records :
Hazael .................... ............. 600:} miles
Fitzgerald ................................. 577g miles
Noremac ................................... 555 miles
Hart ....................................... 542% miles
Hughes ............ ..................... 535 miles
Sullivan ................................... 5255 miles
The race on the last day was watched by
at least six thousand spectators, and was
prolific of interesting incidents. A number
of the committee that counted the tickets
said that the total receipts would be about
$45,000. This, deducting the expenses, in-
cluding the $10,000 for rent, 15 per cent. to
the manager on $15,000 that be advanced.
and 15 per cent. on the entire receipts would
give the first man, Hazael, $9,000 in stakes
and $10,000 gate money; the second man,
Fitzgerald, $1,040 sweetstakes and $4,000
gate money; the third man, Noremuc,
' C2400; the fourth man, Hart, $1,600; the
fifth man, Hughes, $1,200; the sixth man,
Sullivan, $800.
A leading feature of the match was the
scoring of 150 miles the first day by Rowell,
the English champion, and his withdrawal
from the contest, broken down completely
on Thursday.
