It was hoped, after the events of last Fri-
d‘t'Jhe public mind might enjoy a rest from
further details of the sickening Guiteau case.
Such was not to be the nation’s fate. Now,
it is the Doctors who ' are in fever
heat over the the autopsy. Thus far Dr.
Lamb seams to be getting the worst of it on
th : charge of unprofessional conduct in
rushing into print “too previously." To, the
unprofessional mind it' seems to have been a
very boyish and silly attempt to 'win a very
cheap and questionablenotoriety.But thus far
no reputable physician who has had access
to l itber tlle subject or the DoctOl’s notes,
has ventured to express any other opinion
than that Guiteau had an unusually healthy
brain in an exceptionally healthy body, and
mly he, or what there is left ,of him, rest in
his unhonorcd and unwept grave in peaceful
oblivion.

sxxsrs TO-DAY: -

Numerous reports upon pension cases oc-
cupied the time of the morning hour in the
Senate to-day.

Mr. Dawes from the Committee on Ap-
propriations, reported to allow to the em-
ployees of the Government Printing Office
pay for time lost during the Garfield obse-
quies.

INTERNAL savanna TAXATION.

Mr. Beck said that as several amendments
to the House bill regulating internal revenue
had been reported this morning from the
Republican caucus of last night, he gave
notice of an amendment subjecting duties on
imports from abroad, after January 1, 1883,to
a discount of ten per cent., and after July 1,
1882, to ten per cent. additional. Referred
to the finance committee.

run nrvxx AND nannon BILL.
Was then taken up, and the Hennepin c anal
project further discussed; the question being
upon Mr. Butler's amendment providing for
additional survey and report upon the coat
of construction, annual maintenance and use
of the canal. ' - .

Gen. Hawley opposed the appropriation
for this canal, and Mr. Wisdom strongly
favored it as an element to reduce the ex-
horbitant freight charges of railroads from
the West to the seaboard.

. m nousa.

Mr. Crapo submitted in the House to-day
the report of the conference committee on the
bill to enable national banks to extend their
corporate existence

Mr. Randall Opposed it.on a.point of or-
der. .

The House, at 11:20, went into committee
of the whole (Mr. asson in the chair) on the
sundry civil appropriation bill, the pending
amendment being that offered by Mr. Con-
verse, striking out the proviso restricting the
investigations of the national board of health
to the diseases of cholera and yellow fever.

Mr. Converse advocated his amendment,
contending that there was no necessity for
tying the hands of the board 'after it had
been called into existence. The country was
subject to the spread of other diseases equal.
ly fatal with cholera and yellow fever, and

‘there was no reason why the board should
not be permitted to carry on their investiga-
tions into the cause of and means of prevent-
ing such diseases. ‘

Mr. Hiscook opfined the amendment, dc-
elaring that the intention of Congress in ca-
tablishing the board was that an investigation
should be begun into the subject of yellow
fever and not that the board should have jur-
isdiction to inquire into diseases of special
localities and states.

Mr. Urner made an ineffectual effort to
have diphtheria included among the diseases
subject to. investigation by the national
board.

The committee then passed from the sub.

ject.
A caucus

is called for to-night to determine the pro-
gramme of business after the sundry civil

' appropriation bill has been passed by the
House. It is not expected that this bill will
be finally disposed of in the House until
Monday n'ext. There still remains' to be
considered nearly twoothirds of the items in
the bill. - >

A Senate caucus was held yesterday morn-
ing and again in the evening at which the
following items of business were agreed
upon, among others. ~

First—That the House bill for the reduc-
tion of internal revenue. taxation shall be
taken up for action by the Senate immedi-
ately after the pending appropriation bill.

Second—That all its provisions, as amend-
ed by the Finance Committee and reported
to the Senate on Thursday, shall receive the
Republican support.

' Third—That the Finance Committee shall
today prepare additional amendments, which
will also receive the party's support in the
Senate, providing for a restoration of the
tariff duties on sugar to the rates that were
in force before the last tariff changes in re-

‘ gard to this article were made, the effect of
the proposed amendments being to reduce
She sugar duties about 25 per cent.

The caucus also agreed to favor the prompt
passage of the House bill amendatory of the
Revised Statutes concerning the duties on
knit goods without any amendment, except
Inches may be found necessary to correct
verbal errors in its phrascology.

This latter is known asGen. Kellogg's
Knit Goods Tarifi Bill. The General , has
certainly “worked up" this correction with a
perseverance, industry and sagacity that no
other man in the nation could excel].

, ADJOURNMENT.

The general opinion in the Senate is that
the determination of the republican caucus
to pass the revenue reduction bill will neces-
sarily delay adjOurnrnent for some days and
possibly for several weeks; The republicans
appear tobe in earnest in their determina-
tion‘to pron this measure and make it a law
at this session, and the democrats with their
usual‘ blundering futility will oppose it.
'Not only will the poor man’s patent medi-
cines and matches, but his anger as well, be
relieved from present enemas taxes, unless
defeated by democrat chicenery.

macs-r sums.

Captain Ed. Hawas, who is well known to
many of our Norwalk people, now attached
”the statistical bureau of the Agricultural
Department relates to us the following which
came under his personal observation: A
singular microscopical discovery, which may
prove highly. important in a sanitary point of
view, has been made by Thomas Taylor, M.
1)., of this'city, mieroscopist of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture. About a year ago,
while dissecting out the proboscis of a com-
mon house-fly, Dr. Taylor discovered minute
snakes-like animals moving quickly from the
proboscis. Continuing his experiments from
time to time since then, he finds that house
files are very frequently inhabited by these
animals. He has found them generally in
the proboscis of the fly, although sometimes
they are found in the abdomen, and he thinks
that since flies are carriers of these minute
snake-like animals they may in like manner
he conveyors of contagious germs, much
smaller bodies. These animals measure
about eight one-hundredths to one-tenth of
an inch in length, and about two one-thou-
sandths of an inch in diameter. They are
classed under the Nemator‘dae, genus Anguil-
Iula. They are much larger than trichinne
or so called vinegar eels. Mr. Taylor has

' found as many as seven of these animals in_

the proboscis of one fly, and three more in
' the abdomen, ten in all. Sometimes none
are discovered, sometimes one only, but fre-
quently four are seen. Their [gramme is
wally indicawd by a rolling mdrement in
the anterior portion of the proboscis. When
this is observed," a drop of water is placed
upon it, the animals will readily leave the
. and take to the water. They are
frequently. Observed passing in and out of
the proboscis, to and from the water, as if

the‘ general movements, but for examina-
tion of their structure from 250 to 500

diameters is necessary. They are percepti-

ble tothe naked eye in certain light. Mr.

Taylor proposes to make; the experiment of
feeding flies on trichinosed meat to test the
possibility of trichinze or the eggs of trichinw
being taken up by flies. These experiments
may lead to very useful results in a sanitary
point of view. -

MR. wasr.

The Senate District committee, by a ma-
jority vote this morning, ordered a favorable
report to be made upon the nomination of
ex-Senntor Joseph R. West to be District
Commissioner. There is some-opposition to
Mr. West's confirmation, but not, it is
thought, enough to defeat him. The oppo-
sition comes from the democratic side of the
chamber, but does not embrace all the mem-
hers of that party. ‘

Err-Senator West, has got more energy,
enterprise and common sense than any man
who has been District Commissioner since
this triangular majority form of government
here was inaugurated. His confirmation will
he a God-send to Washington taxpayers.

xvaILLn nuann anon. -

The Secretary of the Navy last night re-
ceived a telegram from Engineer Melville,
dated Irkutsk, wherein he says: “I have ar-
rived in Irkutsk with Nindermau and News
and relies. I missed Harbor on the Lens,
but sent Bartlett to join him. I want per-
mission to return home."

Secretary Chandler this morning said that
Engineer Melville's request for permission to
return home should be granted, and that an
order to that effect would be issued at once.

AGGRAVATING,

Gen. Kellogg, of Waterbury, has been here
more or less all the session, as the attorney
of the Knit Goods Manufacturers of the
country, whose business has been ruined by

sclerical err-or which crept into the Tariff,

Law when transcribed for the Revised Stat-
utes. As the law read in the Revision, it,
let in all knit goods except silk abd linen and
left the pound duty on the web], thus admit-
ting the knit goods made abroad of wool
some twenty per cent less than the material
out of which they were made. The General
has worked and fought all winter like a Tro-
jun and last week got a two-thirds vote in
the house for the correction of the blunder.

The bill went over to the Senate when it was
discovered that still another “bull" had been
made in the body of the error correcting bill.
In the title to the bill the section to be cor-
rected was~properly designated, but in the
preamble of the bill, the vital place, the title.
had been blunderingly misnumbcred. This
was peculiarly exasperating to the General,
who had drafted his bill with great care and

Representative Buck had introduced jt and
had it referred to the Ways and Means Com-
mittcc. ‘ . And to make “assurance doubly
sure," the ever vigilant Kellogg placed an-
other correct bill in the hands of the mover,
when the question came up, but in spite‘ of
all this some one in the Ways and, Means
Committee essayed to tinker Kellogg‘s bill,
and made a deplorable “mess of it! So that
as it now stands, his bill, being a bill to cor.
rect a blunder, has in the body thereof a still
more ridiculous error.
out to be less serious however, than was at
first supposed, as other parts of the bill iden-
tify and make certain the section meant.
Such is a fair sample of the stampede legis-
lation double quicked through Congress at
close of a session -

‘ A sad exhibition of the hateful results of
indulgence in dram drinking was witnessed
here last Sunday evening. John Tyler, Jr.,
a son of Ex-President Tyler, was invited to
make a temperance address under the
“gospel ‘-tent” spread a little north ofIthe
capitol. Mr". Tyler being a man of educa-
tion and an eloquent speaker, made a very
impressive temperance address to a large
audience and then passed out. Within an
hour he was picked up from the'sidewalk
hopelessly drunk. ' Comment is useless.
Here in Washington, the same as in Nor-
walk, the liquor seller is permitted to work
ruin of the reputations of the fouls and bodies
of high and low, by paying a share of his
profits into the public treasury!

On Wednesday evening the 19th inst. Miss
Clara Louise Kellogg will sing in’ grand
concert at Music Hall at South Norwalk.
This will be Miss Kellogg’s only appearance
in our city, on which occasion she will be
assisted by the best artists available, among

.whom are Mr. Frederic Harvey who made a

splendid success as the tenor of the Cincin-
nati Festival of 1800, and Mr. Gottschafk,
who is somewhat known to our citizens as
the “Toreador” in Bizets opera of “Carmen.”
Miss Hertz, a young Parisian pianoist will
prove a novelty to our people, and Mr. Colby

Mud Baths.

A; correspondent from sneer-by city says
that an amusing scone occurred at one of the
bathing rooms, on Saturday last, which
shows the wonderful capabilities of our
public water as . distributed through the
mains. A stranger who had just arrived in
town, after a long and a dirty ride on the
rail, went to a bathing establishment and
ordered a bath, and on being informed that
all was ready, entered the room and as usual
with him. examined the fluid prepared-for
his dip. He immediately returned to day-
light, and informed the proprietor that al-
though a mud bath might be very beneficial
in certain diseases, he preferred clean fresh
water just at this time. On being informed
that the water was in its normal state, be de-
parted a wiser, if not a cleaner man.

The blunder turns?

quietly—in fact it was the quietest 4th of
July in all our experience. It was-not even
“ushered in" by the usual ringing of bells,
and there was but very little noise of any
kind. Possibly for this reason people gener-
ally enjoyed it all ths'more.

There were very few accidents of any ac-
count, but where there is much powder there
is sure to be some pain, and perhaps the usual
number of persons who handled the stuff

suffered the usual consequences.

The Extension Completed.

As was announced in our issue of the 4th
inst. the last rail of the extension of the Dan-
bury & Norwalk 'Railroad to Wilson's Point
was laid on Monday, the 3rd inst.. On Tue:-
day afternoon, the 4tb, some fiftyor more of
our prominent business men met at South
N orwalk on invitation to take a ride on the
first train over the new line. The train left
South NorWalk Depot at 1:50 o’clock and
moving slowly reached the wharf at the
Point at 2:14, where all alighted to inspect
the new deck. A group of Ital ianaborers
had a large hot air'hallgn nearly inflated
which they sent up quite successfully in a
few minutes after the arrival of the train; It
rose to a great height, and floated off in a
.westerlydircction.

As we have kept our readers fully posted
from week to week as to the progress of the
Work, and for several weeks have predicted
that the road would be so far completed that
a train would run to thePoint on the Fourth,
we can but feel gratified with the manner in
which .the work was pushed forward, and
the success of the contractor and managers
in running this train at the time promised,
especially as so many believed us doomed to
disappointment. While this train made a
successful trip to the Point and return,
however, it must not be understood that the
Roadie completed. There, is of course, much

in good running order.

scription of the line, dock, &c., we refrain
from repeating details at this time. Suffice
it to say that all were very much pleased
with the forwardness and completeness of
the work, and those who had not before been
there were much surprised at the magnitude
of the undertaking, as well as the exquisite
loveliness of the place and of the desirable-
ness of the Point as a summer resort, and
many predict a large summer hotel soon in
that vicinity. Soon after arrival at the Point
a small steamer ca ver from Roton Point
and took on a numberof passengers for that
resort. '

The dock is very roomy and substantial,

with three passage ways, or boat landings
completed, viz: One at the end and one
each on the outside and inside face of the
pier. ‘ .
Among t'heaxcursionists was the venerable
Eli T. Hoyt, of Danbury, the first President
of the Road, together with the greater por-
tion of the Directors.

President Hyatt and Superintendent Sandi-
forth were justly proud of the work accom-
plished and were in their glory. After par-
tuting of refreshments the party returned to
South Norwalk in time to connect with the
up express train.

 

I On to New Milford!

The various Companies of the Borough
Fire Department have decided to go to New
Milford, to join in the firemen’s demonstra-
tion, on Wednesday. They will go by the
way of the Danbury & Norwalk Railroad to
Hawleyville, and thence up the Housatonic
Railroad, leaving here on a special train
aboutv8 o’clock, a. m. We can trust the
boys to honor their uniforms and old Nor-
walk by their good appearance and honorable
conduct. .

 

m
The Extension.

It is hoped that the extension will be ready
for regular travel on or about the 24th, and
that trains will then commence running to
the Point if the steamboat is ready to
connect. Daily excursion trains at frequent

intervals may then be expected.

A laborer named, John Res died on Thurs-
day last, it is supposed from injuries result-
ing from falling down stairs in the depot
building at South Norwalk. He is said to
have had a quarrel with a contractor on the
'Railroad Extension, and as his fall was
claimed to have been caused by an assault by
said contractor, a jury was summoned to in-
quire into the cause of his death. They
failed to agree, and adjourned until last
evening.

Pleasant Afternoon Excursions.

When the Danbury Railroad extension is

They can take the~ cars to the Point in the
afternoon and return to South Norwalk by
the steamer, thus enjoying a ride and sail,
and the loveliest land and marine views to
befound in the State. The scenery along
the line of the extension is remarkably fine,
and the sail up our island dotted bay is, as
charming as any similar distance through the
Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence.

The venerable Increase Allen, who has
long been an invalid and for months past
gradually wasting away, breathed his last,
at his residence on North avenue, early Mon—
day morning, Mr. Allen was well and favor-
ably known all thrOugh this section or the
State. having in his prime been a prosperouf
and leading merchant in Norwalk. He was
born in Westport, May lst, 1802. When a
boy he served an apprenticeship with Charles
Bennett, a shoemaker of Falrfield. When
he becaflc of age he married Sally Patchen
of Greenfield, who still survives him. Re-
moving to Black Rock he became a merchant
and candle manufacturer, and remained
there until about 1840 when he came to Nor
walk and pursued the same bit-incss several
years. About the year 1844 he formed a
partnership with chrge R. Meeker and the
new firm succeeded Mr. Meeker's father who
had long conducted the grocery and crockery
business in Norwalk. As the firm prosper-
ed they added foreign and domestic fruits,
vegetables, &0 , doing a jubhing trade, and
finally established brunch stores in Danbury,
Waterbury and Birmingham. It was proba-
bly these brunch stores that caused the firm's
subsequent misfortunes after the panic of
1857. Mr. Allen was one of the first com-
muters on the New York & New Haven
Railroad, and visited New York daily until
some six years ago when he was taken sick
with erysipelas and since vwhich, time he has
been an invalid. Mr. and Mrs. Allen have

The announcement of the ‘death of Doctor
Brush, on Saturday, was a great surprise, as
he had hardly been missed from our streets,
and but few had heard of his sickness. He
had been a sufferer for years, but his death
was sudden and unexpected. Dr. Brush
was born in Brnoklyn, of Norwalk parents,
and lived there, we believe, until some five
or six years since when he took up his real-
deuce in this place. For‘several years past
he has taken an active interest in all local
affairs, and was elected as a Democrat to
several offices. Last year he was a promi-
nent member of the Court of Burgesses.
He was of frank, open, generous nature, and
made many friends who will mourn hls'un-
timely death. .

ADOLPHUS F. CARTER

A member of the old well known Shoe
firm of Benedict, Hall do 00., died suddenly
at Stauntou, Va., on Thursday last ihils on
his way home from a brief visit to the Hot
Springs of Va. Mr. Carter was a son of Mr.
Hanford Carter, deceased, of Carter Street,
New Canaan. About thirty-four or five years
ago he went into the service of the firm and

by patient and studious application to busi- ‘

ness be rapidly rose .to a position of partner;
he was, we are informed. at very popular and
successful salesman, by reason of his strict

and well known honesty, never taking the

least advantage of a customer and would

rather lose a sale of thousands of dollars than
lie about or misrepresent his goods.

The firm having been newly reorganized
this season Mr. Carter had made arrange-
men ts whereby, though continuing a member
thereof, he could be absent from the business
whenever it suited him to and he had arrang-
ed to spend the summer at the old family
homestead on Carter Street, New Canaan,
with his family, but having a severe attack
of Rheumatism a few weeks ago he was
reommsnded to try the Virginia Hot Springs
for restoration of health. He had telegraph-
ed his family that he was better and would
meet them in New York and they had, we
are told, gone down’ for that purpose, but
instead of meeting him were dismayed and
distracted by the telegraphic announcement
of his sudden death while homewsrd bound.

He leaves a wife and son.

The Extension.

The work of ballasting' and surfacing the
track of the Wilson Point extension, com-

The Norwalk club, composed of prominent
young ladies and gentlemen of this vicinity,
made their annual excursion across the Sound
to Northport, on the 4th, in Capt. Lowndes’
sloop.- The party numbered about fifty, and
arrived there about noon after a pleasant sail.
A rain atom came up during the afternoon,
and the party finally made up their minds
that they must remain all night. Acting
upon this decisiou the managers engaged all
the spare rooms in the hotel- and houses in
the vicinity. After supper, however, the
rain ceased and a breeze springing up the
party decided to start for old Connecticut.
The: wind was against them but they beat
across the Sound'and arrived at South Nor-
walk about midnight where carryalls were
found to take the members to their homes.
Altogether they seemed pleased .with their
excursion and holiday experiences.

 

 

 

‘In some parts of the Borough, the public

ally ? There has been no lack or rain, water
seems to be abundant, and it ought to ‘ be
good. When it is not good,~some plan ought
to be tried to improve it.‘

 

ltailroadfrelglrt Facilities.

" The growth ’of towns and cities .on the
line of the Consolidated Railroad, and the
change in the mode of conveying merchan-
dise freight, that requires ropid transit, from
sailing vessels to the cars, has built up on
the line of this road, an immense freightlng
business and there is great need of more
depot grounds to properly accommodate
this rush of freight, so that it can be safely
handled by both parties in intefests, and so
that the public may not suffer annoyance
and danger by the use of public thorough-
fares for the standing and switching of
freight cars. - '

No place on the line, we believe, has
shown a’grcatcr percentage of increase of
freight than South Norwalk, and no place as
far as we know, or can 'learn, is there so poor
accommodatidn afforded, or the public more
annoyed and endangered by the use of the
public highways for switching, which
switching commences soon after the five in
the morning and lasts always as_late as eleven
p. m. and often continues until midnight.

The evening switching after nine p. m. is
done by the Danbury do Norwalk Railroad,
it being rendered necessary to use the
Washington street crossing in consequence
of the want of track room on the Con-
solidated company’s depot grounds; but we
are assured by proper authority, that within
thirty days the Danbury company will have

, ample tracks of their Own in the nursery

property, for doing their switching, and will
not thereafter have occasion to use the Wash-
ington street crossing except for the passage
of trains. ‘

The Consolidated Road has the same depot
ground, (no more) than when the company
commenced running trains thirty or more
years ago,and it is no surprising that the peo-
ple of South Norwalk should seek to stir up
the active managers of the. company, so that
the switching across their principal thorough
farejand the danger, annoyance and noise-
infernal produced thereby, may be discon-
tinned.

It does seem that their request ought to
be heeded, and that the company should
avail themselves of the law passed at the last
session of the Legislature, and obtain suffi-
cient grounds so_as to do all of their switch-
in on their own property, and not hereafter
e umber and endanger the public high-
ways. '

The project of having a ferry'boat to cross
the Danbury. Railroad track between the
“Mahackemo and Lauder's- block” in rainy
weather,_ has not been abandoned,“ it would
be a great convenience almost every day in
the week. , V

Evidently the repairs of our city streets
are about finished. Cause, coal ashes are be-
coming scarce. ‘

Years since, when the city voters resolved

thought by many to be very unwise, the ex-
pense being so heavy, and to pay it, a bonded
debt must be made. It has, proved to be a
good investment, and the only wise act ever
done by the city, until Wednesday night.
when they voted to purchase a plot of land
for future use, and especially for a suitable
house for Putnam Hose Co. The firemen
are to be congratulated, and it is hoped,
though more than one half of the official
year of the councilman has expired, that they
will take immediate action upon the erection
of the new building.

The wouuding of Mr. St. John, janitor of
the Franklin street school, has created no
little stir in our midst, and it is hoped that
the perpetrators of the set may be punished.
But the difficulty will be in proving, who of
the number concerned, committed the act.
Mr. St. John, though sore and lame, is im-
proving. .

The notice to property owners on Clay
street reminds .the writer' of a resolution,
offered by a democratic. councilman, on the
same subject in 1873, and passed viz:
Resolved, that Clay street he andJs hereby
widened and the walks made to be '7} feet
wide, and the work to be done in 30 days.
It has not been done yet, but our efiicient
democratic board will push it through.

 

They have found a spot on the Hudson
River Railroad wh ere the tracks are so near
together that trains cannot pass without
hittidg each other. Last Thursday two trains
one on the up and the other on the down
track, collided, and ’four passengers were
injured the sides of the cars being badly
damaged. They threaten suits for damages
and ought to so do more than threaten.
Railroa‘ought to- be constructedso that
passengers could safely put their heads out‘
of windows if desired, their companies would
not have to pay damages for this class of ac-
cidents. '
