’1 . Norwalk Gazette. W Tuesday, July 25, 1882. Editorial Letter. Wasnmerou, D. 0., July 22. 1582- Duan Gazu'r’m‘ :— In the contested election case reported by Col. Waite, of Conn, to the House on Mon- day last, that gentleman made one of the calmest, clearest and most convincing argu- ments delivered in Congress this session in any of the contested election cases. There was no attempt at oratorical effect, but straight forward, lawyerly and perfectly un- ans wcrablc argument. It is said the Colonel succeeded in convincing the sitting member that he had no right to his seat, as thoroughly as he did all other listeners to his able and exhaustive argument. Mr. Horr, of Miehh gun, in the course of the discussion showed a diagram he had had drawn of the lines of the new Congressional districting executed by the bourbon democracy of Mississippi. The very raising up of this sheet and view of this worse than “ shoestring ” attempt at a forced districting so that republican majori— tics should be nullified, set the House and gal- leries in a roar of derisive laughter, in which the diseomfitted democrats were compelled to join. A tub of squirming eels soaked in ink and crawling over Horr’s improvised map, would not have made a more ludicious ' picture and yet he claimed that it was not in the least exaggerated. It is said that outline maps of this last attempt of the southern democrats to override the majority, will be lithographcd and circulated as campaign doc- uments in the approaching Congressional canvasses in the different States. When will democratic leaders learn to pay a little tithe of respect to that element of “fair play" which exists in the hearts of all honorable men of whatever party. The weather here has been so comparativc- ly comfortable all the week that neither House has shown that earnest desire to finish up the session and get away that is usual at this season, when the weather is blistering hot. It is now thought that an adjournment may be reached by a week from Tuesday, but even that is problematical,because of the time consumed debating the bill for the re- duction of stamp taxes, and the 25 per cent. abatement on the sugar tax. To-day the House voted down an attempt to still further interfere with the Tarriff under the specious pretext of encouraging ship building by the free introduction of every sort of material going into their construction. In the Senate Mr. Vance, of N. 0., made a demagogical attempt to continue the stamp tax nuisance by continuing the 5 cents per pack tax on playing cards. As the total rev- enue received from this source is only about $5000, and by retaining. that alone, the prep- aration and sending out of stamps would. cost more than the revenue received from them, and Senator Sherman made short work of Vance’s cheap attempt to be politically sharp and personally witty. The Star here very “aptly says :— “An important political campaign is just ahead, and both parties have an eye to the manufacture of capital for use next fall. The sacrifice of a month or so of the summer is a small consideration in comparison with the control of the next House. The Senators do not regard the prolongation of the session as a special discomfort. Most of them have comfortable residences in Washington. They are more at home here than anywhere else. Besides if they want a few days’ recreation at the seashore or elsewhere, it is no trouble for them to obtain pairs and get away. They do not have to ask any leave of absence. Members of the House who are anxiousto succeed themseves and are troubled with ac— tive rivals in their districts may not view a month’s extension of the session with as much composure as the Senate; but they can’t help themselves, as the case stands at present.” rosrar. The House this afternoon passed a bill fix- ing the rates of postage on second class pub. licaticns deposited in a letter carrier office by the carriers of the oflice at a uniform rate of two cents a pound. ' run MONEY-ORDER ‘srsrmr MODIFIED. . In the House yesterday afternoon Mr. Bing- ham called up the bill to modify the money— ordcr system, and it was passed. It provides for the issuing of a“postal note" at a charge of three cents for the transmission through the mails of sums less than $5; that a mon- ey order shall not be issued for more than $100, and that the fees for money orders shall be as follows, to wit :—For orders not exceeding $10, eight cents; for orders ex- ceeding $10 and not exceeding $15, ten cents; for orders exceeding $15 and not exceeding $30, fifteen cents; for orders exceeding $30 and not exceeding $40, twenty cents; for orders exceeding $340 and not exceeding $50, twenty-five cents; for orders exceeding $50 and not exceeding $60, thirty cents; for or- ders exceeding $60 and not exceeding $70, thirty-five cents; for orders exceeding $70 and not exceeding $580, forty cents; for or- ders exceeding $80 and not exceeding $100, forty-five cents. The wide publication of the very sensible and practical views of Postmaster Pierson, of New York, has had an undoubted effect here in restraining the strong tendency that existed up to qu'tc recently among members for a reduction of letter postage to two cents. Mr. Pierson very clearly and conclusively shows that the existing rates are low enough, and as a means of making the postal service more popular and more acceptable. and con- sequently more profitable, as it would then be more extensively used, he advises that the number of money order, registered letter, and stamp stations be increased; that deliveries and collections in the cities be made oftener, and that the time between the sending of a letter and the receipt of the answer be re- duced to uminimum. In short, he wants the service prompt, expeditious and trustworthy, and it must be confessed that there is a great deal of practical sense in his suggestion. run NEW norms. Arrangements are now being made at the Treasury Department for the exchange of the bonds continued at three and a‘ half per cent. for three per cent. bonds, in accordance with the circular recently issued from that depart- ment. Offers for exchange involving many millions have already been received. The President has signed the act authoriz- ing the sale of land and premises formerly occupied as a site for the post ofilce in New York City. . ransoxars. Mr. Walker Blaine has been appointed as- sistant counsel for the government before the court of commissioners of Alabama claims. The newer from Georgia is that Senator Hill is‘ rapidly failing. Hon. Wm. H. Barnum was here a few hours (as usual) the fore part of the week and then hurried “on to Richmond.” There is to be a lively demand for “mules" in Vir- ginia and all over the South in the coming congressional c antests. Senator Plutt and Hon. S. W. Kellogg left for Conn. yesterday, to be back on Monday. Mr, Miles has been here all the Week, but ex- pects to leave for Conn. Monday night. As ever, _____.__—— The success of Miss Ada Dyas at Newport, mention of which was made in our last issue, was so great that the management have urged her to rctnrn,’and she has consented to ap- pear in “London Assurance” on the evening of Wednesday next. Our citizens will be delighted to know that Miss Dyas has par- tially consented to appear here, probably in the same play, with a first-class company, later in the season. When she does the peo- ple will show her what a crowded house means in Norwalk. ___.___..— The army worm is reported to have arrived at Meridcn, Cheshire, Norwich and New London. B.

M.—f‘—“- , Baggage smashers do not trifle with J um- bo’s trunk when he arrives at the depot. Another Pmposed industry- An energetic young business man is en- deavoringto raise a stock company in town with a capital of $25,000, for the manufac- ture of an article which is always in steady demand and sells readily at very remunera- tive prices. He has strong faith in the en- terprise and is prepared to demonstrate that it will be profitable. The amount required is comparatively small, and includes enough for a good, easy working capital. The matter is certainly worthy of investigation by those of our citizens fortunate enough to have money to invest. ' _______._.__ Our Churches. Biishop Quintard, of Tennessee, preached at St.Paul's church onSunday last. Rev. Mr. Hubbell will preach in the First Congregational church next Sunday. . Rev. Mr. Northrop filled the pulpit of the South Norwalk Congregational Church on Sunday last. Rev. Mr. IIibbard, who has accepted the call to Trinity Parish, city, preached last Sunday, and will occupy the pulpit again next Sunday. He is expected to remove here early next fall. Rev. Homer N. Dunning, of the South Norwalk Congregational Church, preached two very able discourses in the Second M. E. Church on Sunday last. They gave splen- did satisfaction. . Rev. Mr. Williams, of New Haven,prcach- ed at the First Congregational church, morn: ing and evening, on Sunday last. Rev. J. W. Hubbell supplihd the Baptist pulpit. m , The army worm—or armies of infernal crawlers under some other name,—struck West Avenue last week. One column took the concrete walk and crawled straight ahead while other hordes filled yards and gardens. 1 Mornings they all seemed to head north, and afternoons they returner] over the same ground headed south. So far as heard from they don‘t appear very destructive but seem intent upon going somewhere, and travel quite fast. W Wilson Point. ' The new passenger. and freight depot for the extension, was raised on Saturday last by builder Price, and will be pushedforward with great rapidity. This building is on the pier and will be in view of all passing Steam- ers up and down the Sound. A steamer can run twenty miles from the end of the pier in a direct line, towards New York with deep water and no reefs or other obstructions. The embankment across the head of the cove has been raised to grade and an engine driver can now run a train at high water to the point, without a barber pilot. ,, Stockholders Meetings. Annual meeting of the Norwalk Gas Light company, this evening. The annual meeting of the Norwalk Insu- rance company takes place on Wednesday morning. - The Verdict. The coroner’s inquest in the Res case final- ly resulted in the finding of a verdict to the effect that Res came to his death from inju-. ries received by falling down stairs in the depot building at So. Norwalk. At the Kellogg Concert, on Wednesday” evening, Miss Ada Dyas with a'party of friends occupied a box, and it was a pleasure to witness the hearty manner in which she applauded all of Miss Kellogg’s efforts. Miss Dyas is a thorough artist herself and can appreciate the same merit in another. . Personal. Rev. J. J. Woolley is coming home from Europe. David E. Disbrow is off to Lake George on vacation. Mrs. C. A. Hoagland has' returned from a visit to Poughkcepsie. Mr. and Mrs. George Thomas, of Brooklyn were in town over Sunday. Mr. Jaqui has been-called to New Jersey by therserious illness of his mother. Mrs. Wm. Nash, who is convalescing from a long and serious sickness, is visiting friends in Westport. Mr. J. Arthur Osborn has gone to Michi- gan on a visit to his brother Eugene. He will also visit Chicago. ‘ Norwalk was represented at Ocean Grove, last week by Messrs. Francis E. Quintard, Levi C. Hanford' and Geo. W. Selleck and families. Mrs. James Sherman, who has been visit- ing her mother, Mrs. Augusta Ambler, re turned to her home in Rochester, last week. She was accompanied by Miss Lizzie Meeker who will remain about a month. Mr. E. J. Hill and sister, left yesterday for the West. Mr. Hill will go to Michigan on a shingle hunt before returning and will also visit Chicago, as noted elsewhere. The Steamboat. Com. White was in negotiation with the owners of the steamer Day Slur, last week, ,to charter her to take the place of the Adel. phi on this route, and to run in c .nuection with the Danbury train at Wilson Point. The Day Star belongs to the-same class of hosts as the Crystal Wave, now running to Bridgeport. . No “ ofiicial" announcement of her charter. however, has been made, and “ ruuiors” amount to nothing. In the mean- time the Adelphi is doing excellent summer work, and seldom encounters a boat that can gain on her. So far as speed is concern'ed, any new boat could hardly be expected to surpass the Adelphi. . ' Mr. James Johnson has resumed the posi- tion of first ofiicer on the Adelphi. He is as thoroughly competent as he is good look- ing, and the traveling public are glad to see him at his old post again. Capt. Anderson continues in command and is popular as ever. Last Tuesday the boat encountered a very dense fog east of Fort Schuyler, but worked through safely and reached 31st street about on time. The experience was rather novel to many passengers, but the expression was very general by those who had been familiar with such scenes, that the officers of the boat were entitled to credit for the able manner in which she was handled. The Rev. Peter L. Easton, with ‘his wife and family. has ahived in this country after an absence of ten years spent in missionary work. He brings with him two native Per- sians (Nestorians), Rabbi Isnok and Rabbi Yaroo, who have served as helpers in the work, and who are to receive further instruc- tion at Union Seminary. The work in which Mr. Esston is now engaged is carried on at his own charges, and during the last year he has secured from the Grand Duke of Russia, a formal decree authorizing missionary work in the Caucasus, which has heretofore been closed against such labors. Mr. Easton and his wife (formerly Miss Maria Burnham) will be welcomed by many friends in this city, where they formerly lived, being members of the Thirteenth-street Presbyterian Church. His address is care of R. T. B. Easton, Esq., 10 Spruce Street, New York. —N. Y. Evangelist. Mr. Easton, with his family, has been spending some time here with his brother, and conducted the prayer meeting of 'the Cogrcgational church recently. . The Persians, who came With him, are on the farm of Marvin brothers. 4., Clerks, Charles Perrin, of the‘ Senate, and Charles P. Woodbury, of the House, having completed their journals of‘the Senate and House, they have had the same printed and distributed in the manner provided by the' General Statutes. W Harry, a little four year old son of Mr. Thomas Cousins, has been confined to his bed for the last two weeks, suffering from a fall from a hammock. He is badly hurt about his hip, but the doctors do not seem to know exactly what his injuries are. We trust the little one will soon recover. .—————.—4. Work was resumed at the Morison d: Hutchinson shirt factory, yesterday. The Plc—Nlc Season. The Methodists of Bethel are coming to Helen on Thursday. The “trimmers” of Crofut & Knapp‘s shops spent the day at Roton, yesterday. Brookside Park was occupied by a Litch- field Sunday School last Wednesday. The City Congregationalists are announced to pic-nic at Brookside park, in August. Douglass Fowler Post, city, will also go to Brooksidc, about the first of August. The Old Well Hook and Lidder company has selected Roton as the place and August . 23d as the date for holding a picnic. To-day is the day appointed for the Baptist Sunday Schools of Stamford and Norwalk Borough to hold a picnic at Brookside Park. The Point Union Mission Sunday School, of Bridgeport, hold their pic nic atBrooksidc Park on Wedngsday. They come to Wilson Point in the steamer Crystal Wave, and thence up the Danbury Railroad. The Sunday School of the First Congre- gational church will go to RotonPoint, on Wednesday, at'c Wilson Point. All who desire to go with them, and enjoy a day at the Point can do so by paying 35 cents for the round tripflchildren 25 cents. The train will leave the Danbury & Norwalk Railroad passenger depot at 9:45 a. m. A large party from Danbury will also oc- cupy the grove on Wednesday. the SECOND M. a. eunuch PIC-N10 Is to be held at Brookside Park, on Thurs- day. August 10th. A special train is to be run for their accommodation, but arrange- ments havebeen made by which their tick- ets will be good on all trains of the Danbury d: Norwalk Road. The fare is to be only 40 cents for the round trip. The cheapest ex- cursion'they have ever held. Another Hatters’ Strike. The batters were called together last Wednesday, and as they failed to settle the matter in dispute stopped work at once in accordance with the rules. The trouble seems to have been—so far as outsiders can un- derstand such things,—a sort of a trade’s union within a trade’s union, a wheel within a wheel. The Hat Finishers’ Union embraces several branches of the trade including the “curlers”—perhaps a tenth of the whole number. As stiff hats have been much worn lately, the curlers have increased in numbers and their pay is somewhat larger than batters get in other branches. Recently the curlers decided to start a union of their own, and, as we understand it, exclude other batters from curling. This was an entering wedge that might prove the death blow of the Hat Finishers’ Union, and therefore a very important matter to all concerned. At the meeting on Wednesday the matter was fully discussed, but the curlers would not yield, and therefore work was stopped by the finishers. The curlers kept on until Satur- day when they caught up with the finishers and could do no more. They then voted to give in and word was sent broadcast for all hands to go to work yesterday morning. Saturday evening, after the result-was made known, the President and Secretary of the Hat Finishers’ National Trade Union came up from New York but too late to be of any service in arranging matters. ' To outsiders it seems very strange to see all the work stopped in large factories, in- definitely, and the owners who have been at large expense in building and maintaining the same arid who are large losers by the stoppage of manufacture and the con- sequent ceasing of the business of selling, utterly helpless in the premises and hardly entitled to enter a useless protest against interference with their business. To workmen, however. who understand the matter in all its bearings, it must have a dlfferent aspect or they would reform at once this objectionible feature. Messrs. Henry P. Price and Joseph Cousins started last week on the “All around Trip," from New York, through New York State to Niagara Falls, across Lake Outaria to Toronto, through the Thousand Islands and over the Rapids of the St. Lawrence to Montreal (possibly delightful old Quebec,) and home via Portland. They were joined at Niagara by Messrs. Philip and Howard 8. Beam, of South Norwalk, ex congressmen Kellogg’s son of Waterbury, and a friend named Badger, all Yale students. Another Brakeman Killed. An unmarried man named'Palmer W. Croeker, who lived at New Haven, was killed on the Consolidated railroad, near the drawbridgc, So. Norwalk, last Monday night. He was on top of a freight car, and was struck by one of the drop signals. Too many lives are sacrificed in this way. Who will bless humanity by inventing a practicable system of stopping freight trains under all- circumstances without danger to‘human life. The Concert at Music Hall. last week Wednesday evening, was attended by as large an audience as could have been expected during such a warm season. The entire Concert was very fine, and Miss Kellogg gra- ciously responded to the warm applause which greeted her.= No announcement is yet made of the run- ning of “short trains" between the Bridge‘ and Wilson Point. It ispresumcd,howuver, that the trains will be run- as soon as the Road is in suitable condition, and that the best will be made of a very short season. —————.«O-—o————- _ The consolidated road has issued a guide- book to the summer resorts on the Sound and elsewhere on its lines.

Their . double “Safety” stove, which had been in careful use two years and given excellent satisfaction,suddeul y blazed above the wicks. Attempts to smother the flame failed, and the stove was picked up and carried out doors, where the oil soon burned out, de- stroying the stove. _It was a narrow escape. The oil used was of the very best quality. It is very evident to the writer that these stoves should be made stronger and that the oil reservoir should not be made of tin. No leak should be possible.

Two of the girls were badly bruised, but not dangerous- ly injured. Air Brakes. The recent narrow escape from a serious disaster at South Norwalkyon the consolida-' ted road, has caused many to enquire into the working of the air brakes, 'which are re- lied upon to stop the trains when approach- ing a station or draw bridge, or when the track is unexpectedly obstructed. In conse- quence of the use of the air brake on trains, the number of brakemen has been reduced one half or more, so that in case of sudden emergency, such as the disabling of the air brakes, it requires prompt and vigorous use of the hand brakes, which even then are of- ten far from effective, in'consequence of the deficiency in the number of brakemcu. The original “Westinghouse”. patent air brake, the kind in use.wc believe on the Consoli- dated road, consists of a donkey engine and cylinder for storing of compressed air, which are both attached to lhcvlocmnotivo, while the cars have steam pipes under them, which are connected by_ rubber tubes from car to ' car, and the compressed air is by a single movement of the. hand of flu: engine: driver, driven through such pipes and tubes and in- stantly applied to the brakes on the entire train, and if all of the apparatus is in good order the train is under perfect control of the engine driver, but if a break of any kind oc- curs by which the compressed air escapes, then the air brake is useless, and the slop- page must be made by rewriting the engine and the application of the hand brakes, as was done on Saturday night week, wlmnthe train ran past the depot and near to the open draw before being stopped. The cause of the failure of the air brakes at that time was, we see by a statement of one of the officials of the road, the bursting of one of the rub-7 bcr tubes connecting the cars. Since the issue ofthc original patent, the Westinghouse brake has been greatly im- proved, and the improved system is ‘now in use on most of the roads in this State,as they have been applied since the patent for the improvement has been granted. The im- provement consists of having a storage cylin- der, for compressed air under each car, all of which can be applied by the engine driver as in the old system, but if by any cause the train is broken apart, or the rubber connec- tion fails, the separate cylinder under each car is automatically closed against the escape of the compressed air,and the compressed air still acts upon the brakes, thus rendering them far safer than the old method. It seems asif such claimed improvements should be investigated, and if found to be better and safer, they should be adopted by all railroads without waiting for compulsory laws. OBITUARY. DEATH OF MRS. MARIA BIROHARD. Our obituary record this week announces the death and funeral solemnities of one who was truly a mother in Israel. Mrs. Maria Birchsrd who spent the early portion of her life in.North Salem, N.Y., re- .rnoved to Norwalk in the year 1852, with her son and daughter, the late Mr. and Mrs. Isaac S. Beers and remained with them, hou- ored and beloved,uiitil the family was broken by the early death of Mr. Beers and his wife. Mrs. Birchard's great personal worth and helpfulness in the church, and the communi- ty was gratefully acknowledged by a large circle of admiring friends, and there was not a household among all her large acquaintance where she was not greeted as a true friend and an honored guest. And so it came to pass that upon, the breaking up by death of her own beloved family, her company and friend- ship was sought by many who had long known'and loved her, and she was cordially invited to make their homes, her home. Mrs. Birchard was finally induced to ac- cept the urgent solicitations of Mrs. Judge Butler to take up her'residence with her and at once came to be regarded by Mrs. Butler in her enfeebled state of health with none to care for her, save her servants, as a most in- dispensable member of her family, and so on- tirely did Mrs. Butler depend upon her effi- cient aid in the management of her affairs, that she seemed unwilling to entertain the thought of Mrs. Birchard’s absence even for a brief visit to her many friends. Mrs. Birchard thus‘ remained the beloved companion and friend until the death of Mrs. Butler, unceasiugly ministering to her com- fort winning the admiration of all, who wit- nessed her untiring zeal and devotion, and causing many to exclaim as did Mrs. Butler’s beloved physician Dr. Lynes ; “what would Mrs. Butler have done without the sympathy and watchful care of Mrs. Birchard l” A few days after the death of Mrs. Butler and the breaking up of her family, an in- scrutable Providence called the beloved'phy- sician, Dr. Lynes, who had so constantly watched over the closing years of his friend, Mrs. Butler, away from earth, and from the love and care of his own family circle, so that hither, upon the urgent invitation of Mrs. Lyncs, Mrs. Birchard again found an open door of usefulness which her long experience and discipline amid scenes of sorrow, suf- feriug. and death so amply qualified her to fill. Mrs. Birchard remained for a long time a most beloved member of Mrs. Lynes’ family until she was induced to listen to the affectionate and most watchful care of he grandson, at present the only surviving mem‘.‘ ber of the family, who urged her to avail herself of a period of rest frorn‘ all care, and she spent the closing years of her life with Mrs. Henry Allen, in full view of the hOmes where during .all the years of her residence in Norwalk she had been so beloved and honored. Mrs. . Birchard was a 'sister of Morgan ’1‘. Smith, Esq., and grandmother of Mr. William Beers, who together with her large circle of friends mourn her decease. The unspeakable consolation is theirs, as it is to all, when the true christian is called away, that their loss is to the departed great gain. Mrs. Birchard exemplified a wonder- fully heroic, christian life, and that she was ready to depart, and that she has already “ beheld the King in his beauty" and “drank of the 'pure river of the water of life," that remains not a shadow of doubt. ‘. MRS. MARIA L. BARRON, of Silver Mine, well known in this commun- ity as a professional nurse died very sudden- ly on Tuesday morning last from over ex- haustion and extreme nervousness, caused by several bad frights received in succession. She was much respected and beloved by those who knew her. She died at the resi- . donce of her son-in-law, Mr. Fred Crosby. All Hands on Deck! The Neptune Club will start on their an— nual cruise “down east” next Monday. Commissary Meeker was hunting after a boat yesterday and “will charter or build" one iu‘time for the start; he hopes to secure the Carl], with which the club were so well pleased last year, and if not able to_ do so confidently expects to charter a‘ vessel of the same class. Thirty-five sailing members are .enrolled for the cruise, one-half 'of whom hail from Norwalk and the rest from other towns in this State, Massachusetts and New York. As there are always more or less changes in the list at the last moment we refrain from printing the roll of ,audacious tars until our next. On Monday afternoon, (25th,) a party of ladies and gentlemen, will sail from our city, for Block Island, Newport, Oak Bluffs and olher places of interest, on the schooner yacht “Petrol," of Brooklyn. Among the party, are Louis H. Nash, of Brooklyn, son of F. H. Nash, this. city; Alexander Archer, and daughter Minnie, Brooklyn; G. S. North, T. B. Nash and wife and Miss Anna Dickerman this city; Clayton Rider and Miss Grace Ri- der, Carmel, N. Y.; Miss Mary Rider, South East, N. Y.; Charles Underhill, N. Y.; Geo. Underhill, of Duchess 00., N. Y. ~Republz'can.. ——-—-.—e. The Phalanx pic-nic, at 'Roton Point, last Wednesday, was attended by a‘large crowd of people, variously estimated at from 2,000 to 3,000, audlpassed off in a very satisfactory manner generally. The passengers were conveyed to the Point over the extension to Wilson's and thence by boat. The New Enterprise. I ' In response to' the call made in our last issue, by the Board of Trade, our citizens gathered at the Horse Railway Ofiice, last Tuesday evening in such numbers, that it was thought best ‘ to adjburn to the Reform Club rooms on Water street, for better ac- commodations. Ex-Warden Hyatt called the meeting to order, and S. E. Olmstead was made chairman for the evening. - George R. Cowles, Esq., made a statement in regard to the business to be brought before the meeting, which was if after consider- ation it were deemed advisable, to make. an chart to secure the location here of the Wilson Sewing Machine Company now of Chicago, but which he had learned had in contemplation the removal of their works to the East. He stated that he had been cor- responding with parties interested and had looked up the matter considerably and had come to the conclusion that it would be a good thing for Norwalk to take itock in and secure its location among us. He stated that he had found the company rated in Bradstreet’s as having $500,000 paid up cash capital, with a surplus of $500,000 more which had been made by the company over and above good dividends paid in. He had lookedaround for a proper loca- tion which he thought he had found in Phoenix Block and had shown it to a com- mittee of the company who were here. In closing his remarks he introduced Mr. Sheldon. amember of the company, who, he said, would be glad to give any and all information required or asked for by any one present, as to the standing, wants, etc., of the company. , ‘ Mr. Sheldon stated that one of the princi- pal reasons influencing the company to remove from Chicago was that they could manufacture to much better advantage cast than west, 'as skilled mechanics could be obtained here much better than at the west. lie claimed they had a good market and were doing well with their machines, and thought a company with a capital of $250,- 000 would he amply sufilcient to handle the business well and advantageously; the capi- tal was mostly provided for but he would like, if they located here, to have our people interested therein, and have a proper rep- resentation in the management thereof, and thought they ought to take about $50,000 of the stock. He cheerfully and frankly answered questions. saying that he did not want our citizens to buy on his representa- tions alone, but would like and invited them to send a committee of their own to Chicago and examine the plant for themselves before they invested. He had a machine present which he opened and had the workings thereof explained. - . After a short intermission, Messrs” W. S. Moody, F. St.John Lockwood, George B. K. Lockwood, E. J. Hill, Thos. H. Morison, Adolphus F. Bishop, John A. Osborn, Asa Smith and S. E. Olmstead, were appointed a committee to take the matter in charge to see if the necessary sum could be raised, and if sufficient encouragement was met with to report to the President of the Board of Trade, when another meeting will be called and experts sent to Chicago to still further investigate the subject. ' Several gentlemen announced, that, if it proved to be as represented that they would take stock therein of $1,000 and upward, some ten or twolvc thousand dollars being pledged by those present. Messrs. E. J. Hill and J. A. Osborn left for Chicago yesterday and are to make aper- sonal inspection and report result of same at Once. Removal of the Freight House. The removal of the freight house of the Consolidated Road from between their tracks and the tracks of the Danbury 8!. Norwalk Railroad, has been commenced. 0The new location of the house is near and opposite the Hat Forming establishment below Adams Brothers’ and between the two si- diuga of the Consolidated Road, the new and, westerly siding is now being laid on property recently purchased of Mr. Ira Seymour. The spur track which ran to the south end of the freight house is to be .extcnded to near the southerly end of the depot, and is to connect with the old Danbury main, which will be moved several feet easterly, as will the track of the extension, so as to make nearly a straight line from the depot to Monroe street; The new location of the freight house will make it accessable without crossing tracks, which will make it much safer to deliver and re. ceive freight by teams. The additional siding on the‘ Seymour property will enable the two roads to make up their trains with but little switching across Washington street so far as the west side of the depot is con- cerned, but no provision has yet been made as we can learn, to do away with the switching of freight cars that stand on the siding cast of the depot, which switching is mostly done during thebusiness hours of the day and is exceedingly anndying. # The annual reunion of the Conn. Travelers Association was held at Seaside Park,Bridge- port, on Friday. Some two hundred “drummers." all carrying canes for assault or protection as needed,_ were present, and the usual number of distinguished officials.

It was given under the auspices of the Sons of Temper- ance of the State. but the public generally were invited. The arrangements for trans- portation of the large number who attended was complete and not an accident occurred to mar the pleasures of theday. Although the start from this vicinity, was at an unseasonably-early hour, so early that it was thought many would be deterred from‘ going, a fair and generous turn-out was made by the friends of the cause, and President Hyatt had to run down three horse cars, all of which were packed with excursionists, on the 6:30 a. m. trip. At South Norwalk, two cars left there on the New York Jr New Haven Road for their use could not contain one-half of those present to go, and the extra ones brought up on the train were filled in a twinkling and many were obliged to stand up throughout the entire trip, the rush being so much greater than was anticipated. . ‘ At Bridgeport the Naugatuck folks put on all the spare cars they. had and started the train of 8 or 0 cars promptly up the read, arriving at High Rock at about 9 o'clock. At 10 the Bridgeport and New Haven people came up on one immense train of 18. cars, and then the beautiful grove was fairly alive with people, who scattered in all di- rections, some to the boats for a row on the river, some for the cool,dclicious Glen, some further on to the intensely romantic Gorge, which,at the risk of falls into the brook, and the soiling and spoiling of clothes, many, especially the ladies, were determined to climb and explore to. its head, while the most hardy climbed to the top of High Rock, and found their reward in the extensive and glorious view therefrom. After these points had been visited the new Skating Rink on the elevated plateau became the center of interest and was constantly throngcd with skaters and spectators. After dinner, exercises were held in the ”Pavilion, consisting of‘ music, singing, prayer, speaking, recitations, etc. The sing- ing being by choirs from Living Spring and Friendship Divisions,the speaking by Messrs. Hawley, North, W. S. Bailey, Bill, Dicken- son and B. F. Bailey who happened acci- dentally to be present, and excellent ‘and pleasing recitations by Mrs. W. A. Pryor of Norwalk, and Miss Viola Sanford of New Haven. . During the afternoon it was decided to engage the Grove for the 19th and 20th of July, for the pic-nic of 1883, and the engage-- ment was promptly made. ' The day was oncof unalloyed pleasure, and the affair throughout was most successful. We congratulate our fellow-townswoman, Mrs.W.A. Kellogg,who was the Chairman of the Committee, for the great success of this, their second annual pic-nic. We are glad to learn that Concord and Old,Well.Divisions reaped quite a pleasant little benefit, financially, from the underta- king. This is the largest party that has visited the Grove this season, about 3,000 being the number present. Superintendent Beach was present all day and unremitting in his efforts to make everything pleasing for the excurs- lenists. ‘ ===x The Bridgeport Excursion to ’ Brooksldo Park. The Mission and other Sunday-schools of Bridgeport, are to have an excursion to- morrow if the day is fair, which will com- bine a sail on the Sound, and a railroad ride to Brookside Park The number promised will tax the Danbury &. N or‘walk Railroad’s our capacity, and we can safely promise the little people, and their older and big hearted friends, a day of rare enjoyment. The party is to be brought to Wilson Point by the splendid steamer “Crystal Wave” and will have about five hours at the park. Captain Hubbcll, the manager of the Steamboat Company was in town on Thurs- day last, and expressed great admiration of the pier and wharf accommodation at the point, and like all others ,visiting them that are familiar with such matters, pronounced them unequalled in the State. This is the beginning but not the last of such charming excursions. The Funeral of Frederick Mar- duand, Esq. drew together, on Monday the 17th inst, a large congregation in the church at South- port where he was one of the deacons; The noblegrauitc edifice owes its construction, largely, to his generosity. Many persons of note from New Haven, New York, and else- where, were present to do honor to him. The introductory services were led by Rev. Mr. Holman, the pastor. The addresses and prayer were offered by Rev. L. H. Atwater, D. D., professor at Princeton College, Mr. Marquand’s pastor in the old Fairfield church, forty-seven years ago, and by Rev. S. J. M. Merwin, the first pastor of the church in Southport for fifteen years. Both bore tes- timony to the high Christian character of their former parishioner,aud especially to his fidelity to his convictions of stewardship in the administration of his large wealth. Mr. Marquand died on the 14th, in his84th year. The New York Observer speaks of him as “one of the best men. of New York” where he was born and engaged for many years, in the jewelry business,—“one of the most benevolent and beloved of our older citizens. Of Huguenot descent, he was a man of strong religious sentiment and devot- edly pious, a generous contributor to benev- olent objects, a warm, personal friend. and large-hearted philanthropist. He has spent many winters at the South where he has given freely of his wealth. Of lets be has ligion and education." Among these are Yale College, which. owes him her beautiful theological chapel, which bears his name, and the new Bacon library building, and $80,000 half the cost of'West Divinity hall, and . the Union Theological Seminary in New York City, Amherst College and others. To the Young Men's Christian Association of Brook- lyn he gave $50,000. He lately united with his brother Henry in building and giving to New York city the fine Annex to the Belle- ‘vue Hospital. But these are only parts of his ways of giving, which were always hum- ble and unostentatious. He was always giv- ing, and doing as well, and his whole life was simple, honest, good.
