Dunn Gnufllt— ' _
Neither house of Congress has accomplish-
ed much in the way of plillic business the
past week and there has been little of any
interest done. The House has spent the
entire week in the discussion of the Tariff
Bill. and many speeches both pro and con
have been made. No conclusion has been
reached, however, and as there are many
more names on the Speaker's speech list it is
probable that no vote will be taken on the
measure before the end of the incoming
‘ we k. There is no lack of work for eithtr
hoarse, as there are six impoxtlnt appropria-
tion bills yet to be acted upon. These are
the anl, River and Harbor, Legislative,
Executive and Judicial, Sundry Civil and
the General Deficiency. It is claimed that,
should the House settle down to business, a
final adjournment could be had by the 10th
of June. The majority of the members de-
sire an early adjournment and it is probable
' that Congress will adjourn sine die early in

J one.
THE CHINESE QUESTION.

There seems to be a lack of unanimity
among the advocates of anti-Chinese legisla-
tion in the Senate. Democrats say that the
Republicans are endeavcriug to fix up a bill
that will serve to quiet the demand for such
legislation,end that they are moved more
by a purpose to help the Republican party
out of a difficulty than anything else, while
Republicans allege that the Democrats pro
trying to make political capital by preventlug
the passage of any bill. The outlook just
now is not very favorable for the passage of
any measure that will materially restrict the
Chinese immigration.

The New England delegation appeared be-
fore the House Committee‘ on Commerce on
Tuesday, in advocacy of certain appropria-
tions to be included in the River and Harbor
Bill for their respective districts. '

The House Committee on Banking and
Currency have decided to report adversely
on the bill authorizing the taxation of green-
backs by the several states.

Senator Platt has introduced a bill. in the
Senate explanatory of the patent laws, de-
claring that any letters patent granted by the
United States should not be in anywise lim-
ited by the fact that the inventor, after
filing an application for letters patent had
taken out letters for the same invention in
any foreign country.

The case of Fitz John Porter has been
finally disposed of as far as the executive
is concerned. The Attorney General has
delivered an opiuon on the case to the effect
that the President has no power to act, and
the verdict of the court martial stands invio—
late. This opinion was concurred in by the
President and all the members of the Cabinet.

run nnpunnroan NATIONAL comm-ran.

Hon. Marshall Jewell of Hartford,has been
here this week looking after the interests of
the Republican committee, of which he is
chairman, Among other things considered
was the so-called Unit Rule over which
there was such a stir at the Chicago Conven-
tion. The committee sensibly decided that
each delegate had a right to vote as be
pleased, and that no state could compell her
delegates to vote as a unit for any one to
whom as individuals they were caused.
This decision will do away with all wrangles
and squabbles because of the nonaecnforma-
tion of members of future conventions to
the instructions of their possibly packed
state convention's.

At the meeting tc-tlay the subject of party
interests in the Southern states was consider-
cd. and the members present expressed
themselves universally in favor of a union

fourth Wednesday of January next, to con-

to formulates plan for leaving to the con-
gressional districts the right 'to elect their
own delegates to the next national couvpn-
tion and to consider such other business as
may come before them. The committee
then adjourned sine die.

At the Republican Congressional caucus

Railroad Switching on Highways

The great increase in freightiug business
on both the Consolidated and Danbury and
Norwalk railroads at South Norwalk, causes
so much switching on the public thorough-
fares that it has become not only annoying
but positively dangerous, both to pedestrians
and those in vehicles. and sooner or later
must be put a stop to. ' It is stated by those
in authority, that the Danbury and Norwalk
company will in a few weeks he in condition
to do all of their switching and turn their
locomotives without interfering wi the
highways, as they‘ will have ample room in
their yard in the nursery property, for this
purpose. This is a good move and. we see
no reason why the Consolidated company
should not at once prepare to‘follow their
excellent example. The Bishop and Miller
pond recently purchased by this company
with a fill 60 feet wide the entire length,would
make track room for all of their present
freight trains and allow for a large increase.
The expense of - this improvement would not
be large. audit certainly would do away with
the necessity of using public thoroughfares
for switching.

 

 

 

 

Are the people of the United States raising
a fund to remunerate Guiteau for the murder
of Garfield ? A Waterbury man who has
just returned from Washington states it as a
positive fact that he is allowed to “receive”

charge is made for admission every person is
expected to shake hands with the villain and

crowds of respectable people are doing that
thing daily. They all think that he ought to
be hung, and yet because be murdered Gar-

tures of the largest size, illustrating import-
ant events in American history. It is safe
to predict that no more agreeable or instruct-

the audience, whether children or adults,
will not fail to have their notion of the life
of the republic and its, surprising growth
somewhat cleafed up. This is in no way to
take the place of the dramatic entertainment
soon to be produced under the auspices of

occurred. Little Willie Riley had his face
filled with powder, and it is feared will loose
the sight of one of his eyes. A Sheehau boy
had a finger hurt. The other boys do not
weemto have been injured. The explosive
was probably fulminating powder used in the
manufacture of percussion caps. The boys
it is said, have been in the habit of prowling
around the factory hunting after caps and
exploding them, although they have beeu
cautioned to keep away. Probably, however,
the proprietors never had a thought that
such an accident could occur.

The New License Law.

The house on Thursday accepted all the
ceuate amendments to the temperance bill
and passed it. In its main features the new
law is identical with the old, based on the
principle of local Option, thus allowing every
town to decide for itself whether to license
or prohibit. The changes are in the nature
of greater restrictions on the evils caused by ll-
quor saloons. To meet the clamor of those who
demanded that beer should be sold without
license because cider wasvsold, cider has been
placed in the list of liquors to be considered '
intoxicating, and its sale for immediate use
is prohibited. The issuing of licenses re-
mains in the hands of the county commis-
sioners with substantially the same. regula-
tions as at present. Important changes ,are
made in the method of procuring licenses.
(1) Every application must be endorsed by
five tax-paying electors of the town where
the license is to be granted, who must be
certified to by the town clerk. No licensed
dealer can act as indorser for an applicautmor
cs‘n the some person endorse more than one
application. Applications must be advertised
in-‘some daily or weekly newspaper published
in the town where the license is 'asked fcr, or
if there is no local paper, the application with
its endorsements must be posted on the sign-
post for two weeks before it is acted upon by
the commissioners. Any citizens of the town
may'file with the county commissioners an
objection to the granting'vof .a license to any
applicant, and upon such objection-being
made the commissioners must, after due
notice, give a bearing upon which they shall
decide whether‘or not to issues license. (2.)
Every. applicant before receiving a license
must file a bond in the sum of three hundred
dollars with surety, and no person can be a
surety upon such bond, who is a licensed
dealer in intoxicating liquors; nor can the
same person be a surety upon more than one
bond. The cost of licenses'remaius as under
the present law.

Under the head of crimes and penalties the
new law differs from ,the old chiefly in pro-
viding that for repeatedoflences the penalty

shall be both fine and imprisonment. This
is really the stron t. feature of the law, as
dealers who wool, risk violating a law when
the penalty'was oul a fine which they could
easily pay out of t eir profits, will hesitate
to take the chances, of imprisonment for
thirty or sixty days. ' In addition to the pen-
alties for selling to minors or to intoxicated
perfous, or to prohibited persons, it is made
a euhl offence for a liquor dealer to allow a

She was heard yesterday at the Grand Opera

interpretation of tilt characters of, Lady
Macbeth and Jullet marked originality and
power with more of the freedom, abandon
and race of finished artlatlsts than is usually

before the public. The lady has a command-

a mobile face, lustrous eyes and a strong,and
well modulated wine. while her gflures are
graceful and telling." _ "

BY OUR LOCAL REPORTER.

 

The art of correct spelling seems not to be
largely cultlvated by some of our prominent
county oflclals. A notice on the city sign
PO“. announces that a “Sale" “boat” is for
“sale.” ' ‘ T

' Excitement was the order the last week.
Early one morning a gang of men commenc-
e‘d promptly at 7 o’clock, to pick and dig on
Main street in front of Ely’s block, and the

rumor soon spread that the object wasthe
recovery of a lost treasure, while others in-
sisted that the horse railway Co. were
about to construct another traclfi' After a
days earnest labor in digging and carting,
the sweet pavement which had slumbered so
long under the accumulated rubbish, was
discovered, and thus the mystery was solved.
The pavement and gutter stones was the
articles the workmen-wished to find.

The Misses of the Congregational church
held a? fair in the basement of the church,
which was well attended, leaving a nice
balance from the sales for benevolent purpc-
The City National Bank commenced busi-

uses on‘ Wednesday with very flattering re-

sults. There evidently is to be quite a change

in the place of depositing money, by many

of our city merchants,and all the other banks

’in town will lose some valuable customers.

A very pleasant and largely attended surprise

party was given to William Knapp and wife

on Friday evening last- The good things

vanished quickly. '

The City Reform Club have decided upon
June 28th 'as the date of their annual excur-
sion. The steamer Long Branch has been
engaged for the accession. '

At South Norwalk Messrs. Crofut a
Knapp are erecting an addition to_ their
lower factory. It is to be about 50 feet long,
built of brick, with mansard roof. Hubbell
«Sr Barthel are also building quite an addi.
tion to their hat factory.

Atthe annual meeting of Trinity Parish,
Easter Monday-evening.the‘ following officers
were elected: John .H. Smith. senior war-
den; Isaac S. Jennings, junior warden; ves-
trymeny Josiah Grumman, Ira F. Hoyt, H
S. Rood,David Stow, Charles E. Dc y ; clerk
I. Mortimer Hoyt ;' treasurer, J ohu H.
Smith.

Although the election of town officers is
not for months, the indications are that the
matter is being agitsud, and that the first bait
of, the Democracy has been thrown out,snd a
prominent temperance ad‘cate been taken
by receiving anappcintment asa town officer.
The air is full of stories concerning alleged

bargains and political “deals," and doubtless
the Democracy, being on the whole so very
temperate, will try to affiliate with and con-
vert to their use the temperance element.
Negotiations 'with this. end in view are de-

' clared to be underway. So there is to be no

‘tprincip _" ouly’the loaves and the fishes.

The. city Congregational Sunday-school
teachers assembled at the residence of Mr.
John H. Ferris. last week Monday evening
and ‘fsurprised’? him. At aresult of their
~visit, Mr. Ferris's home is noworuameuted
with one of- Rogers' statuettes--“Checkers
at the; Farm." There is no doubt that J ohu
deserved it all, and more too.

The Sentinel says that W. H. Jarvis has
sold out his Bridgeport hardware business
and will spend the summer in Europe. He
is in poor health. .

 

O .
First Baptist Church.

The Baptist people have good reason for
feeling a sense of pride in their church edi-
fice, for it iscertainly one of the most cosy
and cheerful churches in Norwalk.

Of late it is something more than a privi-
lege to worship there, for since the coming
of its new minister. Rev. Mr. Wright, many
new and impressive features have been intro-
duced into the forms of worship, and several
special service days have been added also.

. Last Sunday morning the desk was remov-

 

rs trans; Be’fdr‘i‘,‘fhé“oé‘diiicfi‘b‘e'ifi§"“éhii
dreu's Sunday.” The pastor who is a great

lover of children, aims to interest them as

well as the older portion of his congregation.
Accordingly he preached to them a sermon
entitled the “Bread of life.” From so famil-
iar a subject he spare with much tenderness,
fervor and grace and while his remarks were

especially addressed to the younger members
of the Sunday School they were extremely
gratifying to the older listeners.

An Easter week concert was given in the
evening and was largely attended. Special
singing appropriate to the occasion, recita-
tions and addresses comprised the pro-
gramme.

One feature of the evening which was ex.
tremely impressive deserves special notice.
As we entered the church the first object
upon which the eye rested was a beautiful
cross, nearly ten feet in. height, occupying
the center of the altar, tastefully festooued
with evergreens and bearing in brilliant let.
tore the inscription “He is risen.” A class
of a dozen little misses each contributed a
handsome boquet as an Easter offering with
which at the close of the exercises in which
they participated the cross was decorated.
A star was noticeable also, at'the base of the
cross, typical of the Star Bethlehem, thus
showing in a picture the Saviour’s pathway
from the cradle to the tomb.‘ At each re-
curring “Children’s Sunday" appropriate ser-
vices will be held and the children made

happy- "

Business Pnosrsnmv.¢Probably in no
one new branch of mercantile business has
there been such a large growth‘the last few
years, as in that adopted within the past five
years, by our hardware dealers, in keeping
on sale carriage wood and iron work. We
noticed ' recently how W. H. Smith & Co.
had been obliged to occupy heir whole build-
ing to accommodate and make room for its
growth. and now J. T. Prowltt, our Main
street hardware dealer, had been obliged to
take another floor for the accommod sticn and
proper handling of the various carriage
parts in which "he so largely deals; he has,
therefore dispossessed the tenants over his
store and now occupies it as a carriage wood-
work annex, 'aud in it can be found all parts
required either to repair a wagon or carriage
or to build an entirely new one. His trade
although large, is, we are glad to learn, cou-
. Itantly increasing. ‘

The Bridgeport Camp Fire.

The Camp Fire given under the auspices
of Elias Howe, Jr. Post, in Bridgeport, last
Tuesday evening, was one of those cheerful
and long to be remembered entertainments
which the soldier boys only are able to give.
Delegations were present from Buckingham
Post of Norwalk, Douglas Fowler Post of
South Norwalk, Admiral Facts and Henry
C. Merwin Posts of New Haven, James E.
Moore Post of Danbury, Custer Post of
Sandy Hook, Hobbis Post of Stamford. and
comrades from Waterbury, Naugatuck, find
other places.

0f the Department ofiicers and staff. the
following were present: Commander Ira‘ E.
Hicks, New Britain ; Senior Vice Command-
er Israel Hyatt. Meriden; Surgeon General
J. B. Douglass, New London; Assistant
Adjutant General H. E. Taintor, Assistant
Quartermaster General W. H. Pierrepont,
and Inspector General Frank D. Sloat. Past
Department Commanders Charles E. Fowler,
William E. Disbrow, A. B. Beers, and Chas.
J. Bugsbee, and Lieutenant Governor Bulke-
ley, Col. Henry ‘Huss and numerous other
well-known members of the Grand Army
were also present. ,

The visiting Posts were met at the depot
b'y Elias Howe Post of Bridgeport, and upon
their arrival a line was formed headed by the
Wheeler dc Wilson Baud. After a short
street parade St. J ohu’s Hall was reached and
then the fun began. '

The first thing in order was the raid on'
the beans, hard tack and coffee, of which
there was an abundance, and after the boys
had filled themselves, the pipes and tobacco
were passed around and then the exercises
were opened by Past Commander Beers, who
welcomed the guests in an appropriate
speech. After a “marching" chorus had
been sung, Department Commander Hicks
addressed the comrades, remarking briefly
on the flattering condition of the Grand
Army in Connecticut and the country over.
Lieutenant Governor Bulkeley was then call-
ed upou, and stepping to the' front was re-
ceived with loud cheers. He spoke of the
pleasant scenes connected with these re-
unions and expressed the hope that they
would be continued until death had remov-
ed all the comrades.

Comrade Taintcr spoke of the growth of
the organization, and drew special attention
to the fact that Douglas Fowler Post of So.
Norwalk, had more than doubled its mem.
bership iu the last three months. Then

rades, Touch the Elbow." Medical Inspec-
tor Douglass was then called upon and gave
a short speech which contained some very
witty and eloquent passages. General Sicat
then delivered an address in which he elo-
quently reviewed the work accomplished by
the members of the Grand Army, and closed
by advising them never to break ranks but to
stand together as brothers and patriots and
keep their record uusullied.

The speech of the evening was made by
comrade Pine of Derby, who eloquently re-
ferred to the deeds of the Union soldier, and
said he was one that would never go back on
the record made by them. This speech was
received with deafening cheers,as it was one
that revived old memories and carried the
boys back to the time when they were at the
front.

There were many more speeches and
songs, all entered into with a will.- A humor-
ous feature of the evening occurred when
comrade Ambler of Buckingham Post, was
called upon and in a humorous speech pre-
sented Past Commander Logan of Elias
Howe Post, with a mammoth pot ‘of beans
to commemorate the latter’s achievments in
the bean—eating line while at the camp fire in
Norwalk some time ago. Comrade McCarty
of New Haven was also the victim of a pre-
sentation—a loaf of bread four feet long.
The presentation~ speech was made by com-
rade Moore of Elias Howe Post, and was
one of those humorous efforts for which he
is so noted.

entitled to a boquet for more than one rea-

The visiting Posts and delegations departed
for their homes on the midnight trains, am
all unite in pronouncing the camp fire one of
the most pleasing events in the history of
the Grand Army.

Letters From tno'reople.

Dean Gaznrrn: . .

It is my decided opinion that the Connecti-
cut Telephone Co. will find that they have
made aigrcat mistake in fixing 15 cents as
the tariff rate between Norwalk and Stam-
ford. Five cents would be ample; 10 cents
too much; but 15 is simply prohibitory.
Some subscribers have no local use for
instruments, but have put them in for com-
munication with Stamford, and, at this rate,
they will receive no benefit. from them. It
is certainly to be hoped that the Co. will see
and correct their mistake, before the present
service shall become as unpopular as .the old
W. U. service was. It has been Norwalk’s

phone hot water; it would be a good work
on the part of the Conn. Telephone Co. to
get us out, and keep us out. A. S. G.

with the single exception that under exist-

ing circumstances no charge whatever should

be made to subscribers for connection with

either New Canaan or Stamford. The

special inducement was held out to subscrib-

ers_ by the “Stamford and Norwalk Tele—

phone Company” that all subscribers shall

have connection between these two places

without extra charge. The telephone sys-
tem here is still experimental, and many who
have instruments in use find that owing to
the limited number of patrons, the outlay is
really more than they can afford. For this
reason they ought. to be treated in aliberal
manner, and every pains taken to make the
system popular. While users generally will
cheerfully pay for connection with Bridge-
port aud Eastern cities, or with New York,
they feel that they are fairly entitled to free
connection with New Canaan and Stamford.
As this can be granted without expense to
the Company, we presume that an exception
will be made by them to the general rule of
'charge between towns.

This school is supported and maintained
by the Town and there is ho reason whatever
why it should not oier to you educational
facilities equal to any other school in this

than this and challenge comparison with any,

stimulates a competition .which no private
school ean furnish. ’

improvement in dcportmeut and scholarship
of the pupils shall be the only purpose for
which the school is maintained, and to that
end we ask the attendance of your children
‘and will gladly receive and carefully con-
sider any suggestions and advice from you.
The idea prevalent in this community that
the morals and dcportmeut as well as schol-
arship of children are better guarded in pri-
