Editorial‘ Letter.
Wasumerox, D. 0., Aug. 6. 1882.
Dean Gaznr'rri :—
Congress has dragged Wearily through an-
other sultry. torrid week. Yesterday’s event-
ful session terminated at 12.30 midnight. At
that hour Pecksniff Plumb, of Kansas,
arose in his place in the Senate and maved
to adjourn, because it was already Sunday
morning, and having gotten the floor went
on to make-a speech in behalf of some crochet
of his own.. The Senate, however, deeming
that thirty minutes past 12 Saturday night
was about all that could be allowed for dif-
ferences of time-pieces, piously consented to
adjourn over to Monday. So another new
week is to be entered upon, but all indica-
tions are that the body will adjourn finally
sometime during Monday or Monday night.
run vn'ro. '
The President is being covered o'er and
o‘er with praises, from press and people, for
his manly veto of the River and Harbor
gorge. 0n the other hand, Congressmen are
showered with congratulations by grateful
constituents whose sections 'are to be benefit-
ted for their plucky passage pf the bill over
the President’s veto. The weather is entirely
too hot to attempt to dissect this incongruity
within our own party ranks, and we shall not
undergo the strain of attempting to recon-
cile the above facts with the other fact, that
everybody seems happy about that measure.
Both sides to the issue being pleased,we have
only to add—“you' pays your money and
takes your choice.”
run KNIT GOODS BILL.
A most remarkable victory was scored by
the Knit Goods manufacturers, late yester-
day, in the Senate. The Democrats, with
blundering stupidity, opposed the bill, al-
though the Secretary of the Treasury had
.eertified in writing that “ The error is
undoubtedly one of revision." Senator
Bayard led the opposition, although he
knows that among the vast nuhiber of fac-
tory employees (now idle throughout the
country, because the manufactured goods
are imported at 22 per .cent. less than can be
the wool out of which they are made) a large
per cent. are Democratic Irishmen.
Mr. Hawley rose to correct a statement
made by Mr. Bayard that the 'bringing for-
ward of the bill this morning was the result
of caucus dictation. '
Mr. Platt said that the manufacturers who
must shut up their factories, and the em-
ployees who must be idle, came to Congress
asking for bread, and the Senator from Dela.
were proposed to give them a stone.
He appealed to the Senate not to couple the
bill with tariff legislation, and argued from
previous tariff revisions and the legislation
of Congress to show that it had been neces-
sitated by a plain and palpable error by the
revisers of the statutes. In reply to a state-
ment by Mr. Harris that the object of the
measure was to increase the duties on knit
goods, Mr. Platt added that its effect would
be to extend to the manufacturers that modi-
cum of protection which they supposed they
were receiving when entering into the indus-
try, and which had never been taken away
from them. The law as it now stood pro-
tected the foreign as against the American
manufacturer, and the bill would give the
latter a fair, even chance with the former.
His speech was so clear and calm,and.
manifestly candid in all its statements, that
it convinced every one who heard it of the
justice of the bill and won the votes of seve-
ral Democrats, and earnest arguments from
Senators Voorhees and Brown in its aid. The
force and eloquence and earnestness with
which Senator Platt appealed to Democratic
Senators not to prove to the country that
they were desirous of keeping our American
workmen. idle, and all our knit goods facto-
ries closed, in order to favor the foreign
cheap laborer and the foreign manufacturer,
was effectively impressive, and terribly de-
moralizing'in its effects upon the pig-headed
opposition. His holding so faithful a mirror
up to their blinded eyes was too much even
for the Democrats, and the solid Democratic
line in the Senate, which had started out so
solidly, was broken, and the Knit Goods
bill was passed, without a single amend-
ment, and is now a law. It is not too much
to say that the calm and good tempered
speech of our Senator saved the day. Sena-
tor Hawley was charged to the muzzle, and
had he deemed it needful would have given
us a ringing campaign document for the "fall
campaign,”.which the Democracy would
have found it hard to answer before the la-
boring masses of our people. Senator Hoar,
also, was ready with an eloquent and forcible
speech, but these were conceded to be un-
necessary aftcr Senator Platt had spoken, as
he had covered the entire ground most ex-
haustively, and he was widely congratulated.
Representative Buck stood by the bill in
the House with conspicuous ability, and he
had the opportunity to show to the country
and to thekuit goods manufacturers and to
their operatives, who have been so long in
idleness, that to Connecticut more than to
any other State are they indebted for an able
and successful championship of their just
cause, ahd their rescue from the amazingly
stupid and blind opposition of the free-trade
Democracy. In this connection it is proper
to refer to the important services rendered
by err-Congressman Kellogg, of Waterbury,
who, for more than a year, has vigilantly
, worked and warred for this simple act of
justice, which had closed the doors of every
factory and paralyzed this whole industry
within the borders of the United States.
Nor would it be exaggeration to say that, in
the belief of very many experienced legisla-
tors here, there is not another man in the
whole country who could so successfully and
so speedily have won such a brilliant victory
over -s_o formidably organized an opposition
as that almost solid Democratic party in
Congress. As a Congressional advocate, Mr.
Kellogg can now go up head by common
consent. I . ‘

The long dry spell ended yesterday with a
very welcome thunder shower. The thunder
was quite severe, but the rain-fall was not
heavy. We seem to’have been on the edge
of the storm which was very severe in Stam-
ford. ~ .
During the storm, yesterday afternoon, the
lightning shattered an elm tree in front of
the residence of Henry S. Selleek, Union
Park. Mr. Selleck’s family/were sitting in
the parlor, at the time, and dirt was thrown
upon the veranda. Rather too near for
comfort.
The Sewing Machine Co. No Go.
Messrs. Hill and Osborn returned from
Chicago last week, and met the committee of
the Board of Trade ofiFriday and Saturday
evenings. They gave a detailed report of
their mission, speaking in high terms of Mr.
Wilson, who appeared to be the head and
front of the Sewing Machine Company; also
of the evidences of success everywhere visiu
his in and about the works, and of the com-
plete, systematized manner in which every-
thing was conducted.‘ They stated that Mr.
W. placed every facility in their way for the
successful accomplishment of their mission,
except on one point, and that one point he
evaded. After looking'over the field and
talking with him they pgpared a series of
written questions, which they left with him
to look over and answer. [-Iis reply was
read by Mr. Hill, and seemed a straight-
forward, expllcit~document, showing what
had been done and what could reasonably
be expected in the future by pushing the
work with perseverence and energy. both of
'which qualities would be much needed. But
in one thing, and that the most vital one. he
differed very materially from the oral propo-
sitions that had been previously made by his
supposed representative, inasmuch as he re.
quires a company to be raised with a paid up
cash capital of $300,000, and $250,000 of that
to be subscribed for here in Norwalk, instead'
of $50,000 as proposed by Mr. Sheldon, and
this company to buy out his tools, machinery,
fixtures, etc., complete, at a cost of about
S150,000, then about $50,000 for buildings,
etc., leaving $100,000 for a working capital.
This ofier seems a fair and generous one, but
the amount required to be raised here ($250,-
000) will probably be death blow to our
expectations of getting the works here in
Norwalk, as it is thought to be more than
we can raise from our moneyed men at the
present time. ‘
A citizens' meeting was held last evening,
at which the report of the committee was
read, substantially advising that the matter
be dropped.

The Extenslon.
The surfacing of the track to Wilson
Point was completed on Saturday, except a
few lengths of rails near the pier, which are
left to receive the frogs for the' siding. The
fill across the cove, it is now supposed, has
found bottom, and if so the track will be
ready in a few days for short trains, perhaps
by Saturday night.

Early Closing.
. The matter of early closing is already be-
lng agitated in dry goods circles. What ap-
pears to be desired is for the stores to com-
mence early in the Fall, say by the first of
October, and close as early as six or seven
o’clock every evening with the exceptions of
Saturday and Monday. It seems to be the
general idea that proprietors would sell just
as many goods as if they kept open two
hours later, and that by closing they would
save large gas bills. The clerks favor it, as
a matter of course. and at least a portion of
the proprietors. If the dry goods stores
close we see no reason why all other respect:
able stores should not also put up their
shutters early. Then if the saloons would
only follow suit, we should all have oppor-
tunities for enjoying long and pleasant even-
ings with plenty of time for healthgiving
sleep.
Friday night the engineer of the down
train on the Danbury & Norwalk railroad,
which reaches here about 9 o'clock, sounded '
several shrill whistles for “down brakes” in
such a manner as to alarm many' in the com-
munity. When the train was brought to a
stop he said that he thought the engine struck
a man who was sitting on the depot platfoi'm
with his feet over thetrack. Lanterns we'i‘e
lighted and a party went up through the
tunnel in the expectation of finding his body
but returned with the idea that the engineer
must have been mistaken. When the train
started up, to the surprise of the train hands,
a man was found in the baggage car trying
to find out what was the matter with his foot.
His foot had been struck by the engine, and
when the train hands went through the tun-
nel he crawled into the car. Hepalmed him-
self off as a Danbury hatter, and there was
no quedion raised as to his condition.
m
Ex-Burgess Platt Price met with a painful
accident, last Friday morning, at Wilson
Point. While seated on his wagon, which
had the long reach usually used by carpen-
ters, the horse suddenly started, throwing
Mr. Price violently to the ground and one
wheel of the wagon passed over his head.
He Was badly jarred and bruised, and it was
at first supposed that his hip was dislocated,
but we now understand that such was not
the case. It is hoped that he will be able to
be around again in the course of a few days.
A Coming Event.
It will be welcome news to the lovers of
good dramatic entertainments in this vicinity
to hear that MissAda Dyas, who so recently
appeared in Newport,-with such an ass, as
Lady Gay Spanker, in London Assurance,
has finally consented to repeat the perform-
ance at our Opera House early in September.
Miss Dyas will engage as her support for
the occasion, a most admirable cast including
such well known names as Mr. George Hol-
land, Mr. E. M. Holland, of the' Madison
Square Theatre, Mr. Frederick Paulding,and
others.
The Boston Herald of July 30th in its NeW-
port notes, saysof the performance above men
tioned:
“The great success of this concluding en-
tertainment was due very particularly to the
presence of Miss Ada Dyas, who appeared as
ady Gay Spanker. This lady has been fre-
quently seen at Wallack’s in the same role,
but on this occasion the famous hunting
speech was delivered with such ems that it
was received with aburst of most enthusiastic
appreciation, and old theatre goers pronounc-
ed it a revelation- The remainder of Miss
Dyas scenes were treated by her with a de-
lightful blending of railery and tender affec-
tion for her simple-minded consort Dolly
Spanker, and with Sir Harcourt she was
charmingly and daintily attractive. Miss
Dyas appears on the stage what she is in real-
ity—a refined, whole souled Englishwoman,
and the writer joins with the many who, in
passing to their carriages, expressed regret
that We do not more frequently have an op-
portunily to witness the talent of this favor-
ite actress.”
The “ Cold Water Army" (or Temperance
School, as the new organization is called)
enjoyed a delightful pic-nic, on Wednesday
afternoon, at Betts’ Grove, under ' the direc.
tion of their President, M. W. Starr, Esq,
and a number of the Ladies’ Temperance
Union, .who did all they could to make it an
enjoyable time. Refreshments and lemonade
were furnished in abundance by friends of
the cause. The weather was all that could
have been desired; and after the children
had been s'erved with the “good things,"
Mr. Starr led them in singing several of their
pretty hymns, after which they were amused
by the Rev. Geo. L. Fuller, who related to
them some humorous stories, closing with a
fervent prayer for the success of the cause.
The children are indebted to Miss Annie
Barrett, of the North Center School, who
rendered efficient service in leading them in
their gleeful plays and sports, which they
enjoyed exceedingly. It was a happy gath-
ering to old and young, and all went home
pleased with the fitsrnoon spent in the
woods.
British marines occupied the town of Suez
Thursday, meeting with no resistance. The
Egyptian troops fled before them. Two Bil?-
ish regiments made a reconnoissanee five
miles beyond the Ramleh outposts, and
found that the position of the enemy had
been nearly deserted. Only a few shots were
exchanged, and the troops returned. Arabi
Pacha has again destroyed the railway which
was recently repaired. Rumors of an im.
pending massacre of Christians caused con-
siderable excitement in Alexandria. At the
Conference on Wednesday the question of
the protection of the Suez Cans and England's
desire that the Porte shall proclaim Arabi
Pacha a rebel were under discussion.

ening to the fact that it is behind the age will

A Move in is Wrong Direction.
A report is freely circulated and generally
believed, that the Consolidated Railroad
Company have obtained from the Railroad
Commissioners, the right to run their through
express trains across draw bridges without
coming to a stop in sight of a draw, as they
have been compelled to by statue law
since 1853. The law of 1853 was passed
immediately after the terrible accident that
occurred at South Norwalk, in that year,
while the Legislature was in session, by
which forty-six persons were hurried into
eternity, by the running of an express train
into the open draw, and many others were
maimed for life. The day of the accident
the Legislature appointed a special commit-
tee to visit the scene of the disaster, with
directions to report suitable legislation to
prevent future accidents of the kind. The
committee acted promptly, and after viewing
the bridgv, and the bodies of the victims,
they returned nud’rcportcd a bill requiring
all trains running over draw bridges to come
to a full stop in sight of the draw before
crossing such draw, which law was_ passed
and the trawling public relieved from great
anxiety, and once more took the trains with
a feeling of comparative safety. .
The law as passed in 1853 was positive,
leaving no discretion, but it has been amen-
ded from time to time, so that the law as it
now stands as amended in 1869 allows the
railroad commissioners to allow the crossing
withouta stop, that portion of the law being
follows: “But the Railroad Commissioners
may in writing authorize the passing of any
draw or any railroad crossing, without
stopping as aforesaid, when, in their opin-_
ion, it can be done consistently with public
safety.”
. The managers of the New York and New
Haven Railroad, were restive, and sought to
have the law modified or repealed, and after
a few years the law was so changedchat the
railroad commissioners were authorized to .
allow freight trains to run over draws with-
out stoppiufi .within a few months after
such allowance, three locomotives and a
number of freight ears had to be fished out
at Bridgeport, and Westport, that had been
run on the bridges at those places with open
draws and plunged into the harbor below.
With such experience as this, it does not
seem credible that the present managers of
the road would wish to avail themselves of
the privileges of crossing draws without
coming to a stop, even if the railroad com-
missioners should be complaisent enough to
grant it.
It is to be hoped that the rumor as to the
railroad commissioners granting such cross-
ing without a step, may prove incorrect but
we fear that such permission has been grant-
ed, and if so, then we say most emphatically
that it will be the bounden duty of the next
legislature to re-enact the law of 1853, tak- .
ing away any and all power from the com-
missioners to endanger the traveling public.
by allowing passenger trains to run over
draws without the precaution of coming to a
stop in sight of them. '
Major John C. Kinney, of Hartford, has
been appointed by President Arthur, and
confirmed by the Senate, United States
marshal for Connecticut, tosucceed Marshal
Bates, deceased. The appointment will be
quite generally approved wherever Major
Kinney is known. He was a former resident
of Darien in this state, a son of the Rev. E.
D. Kinney, long and‘ favorably known
throughout this county. He graduated at
Yale in the class of 1861, and during that
year enlisted as a private in the Thirteenth
Connecticut regiment, served through the
war, and being repeatedly promoted. He
was for some time detached from his regi-
ment and detailedpfor signal service, and was
one of the army signal ofilcers on the flag
ship Hartford during the Mobile Bay fight.
During a portion of that fight he sent from
the Hartford, Admiral Farragut's signals to
the fleet. After the war he resided for a'
short time in Florida, and} while there was
an occasional correspondent of the Gazn'r'rx,
and later became editor of the Waterbury
American. Subsequently he was for a short
time attached to the New York Tribune and
the :Times, and since 1872 has been one of
the editors of the Hartford Com-ant. He is
secretary of the Army and Navy club of this
state, and major of the Governor's Foot
Guard of Hartford. His nomination was
recommended by all the republicans of the
Connecticut delegation in congress.
Letters from the People.

A correspondent, who claims to represent
“the people,"—a very indefinite term,—sends
us the following communication and dares
us to print it. We presume he dared to sign
his name but thought a star would do very
well. We know of no one trying to crowd
this project , upon the people of Norwalk,
but if individuals or combinations see
fit to investigate, or even invest their money
in it, they undoubtedly have a right
to do so. As for ourselves we urge no man
to subsribe his means against his own judg-
ment.

bottom that, with us. he desires whatever is
for "the best good of old Norwalk."
“ BIG THING ON ICE.”
PEOPLE on NORWALK, can‘r ron sun IT ?
Now is your opportunity, jump quick or'
you lose it. A manufactory covering ten
acres of ground, employing hundreds of
workmen, making thirty-five per cent. or
more on a capital, of $300,000, wants to lo-
cate in our midst; the percentage they are
making is so small they cannot afford to take
all the stock themselves and“ pocket the
profits, but they will generously abandon
their western works, throw in their splendid
machinery at cost, their president will volun-
tarily leave the concern with its thirty-five
per cent. profits and allow you to come in
and gobble it up if you will only take $50,-
000 of stock. Don’t stop to think but jump .
at once. It is a big thing and the whole
town should share its benefits. It can he
done;‘let every one join in and take what
stock he can, if no more than one share. If
you can’t afford to take one shape chip in
together, put in what you can, hand it over
to a trustee and divide the profits when they
divide. If the thing should hang fire throw
in a few papers worth $3 per year, with half
a dozen $10 chromos as premiums for a
quarter's worth of stock, and if that will
not answer sell your 33 per cent. government
bonds and invest; Surely 35 per cent. is
better than 35 per cent. If you have not got
them join the freight-handlers' strike and
draw the money, on the plea that you 'want.
it for yourIfamily, not for beer; don’t for
pity’s sake let this thing go away from us for
want of encouragement; has not the thing
been thoroughly investigated it Don’t we.
know all about it? Again I say don’t slip

A Victim lab—the Flames!
About half past four o’clock, yesterday af-

alarm, when it became known that a serious
fire'was raging in Stamfordand ‘our steam fire
engine had been sent for. Soon all manner
of rumors were flying about to the effect that
the Town Hall building in the center of the
village was on fire, and that the flames Were
spreading, «the. '
Warden Smith was absent, but Phoenix
steamer was at once drawn to South Norwalk
and sent to Stamford on the first train down.
Soon after, Mr. Geo. Buxton brought us the
following report given to him by a gentleman
. who witnessed the fire :—-The lightning struck
the Presbyterian church during the storm,
this p. in, burning it to the ground. The
fire also burned the fine French roof house of
Insurance Agent, Roswell Hoyt. The inad-
equate supply of water and ineffificient
conditiori of the fire department apparatus
caused a greater spread of the flames than
would have been possible under other cir-
cumstances. -~
We are indebted to Mr. Mark W. Stevens.
who was in Stamford and witnessed the fire,
for further particulars. He says that the
storm was very severe, there heing1much
thunder and lightning and torrents of rain.
The Presbyterian church was struck, and he
thinks it could have been saved _if there had
been a good steam fire engine at hand. As
it was there was hardly any pressure on the
water works, for some cause, and but one
hand fire engine, with which the people were
trying to combat the flames. When the
roof fell in, three persons were thought to
have been buried in the ruins. A colored
man named Wm. Brown was taken out, bad-
ly burned about the neck, and it is believed
cannot live. The other two ‘were supposed
to be dead. \The flames extended to two ad-
jacent buildings, which were partially des-
troyed. Mr. Stevens also heard that a man
named George Roberts, living a mile and
one-half out on the Long Ridge road,
was struck by lightning and badly injured.
Upon receiving the first news of the fire,
we sent a reporter over on the first train.
fearing that after the storm we'might not be
able to otbain full particulars in time for
this issue. He reports by telephone, as we are
getting ready for press that the fire is all out,
that the Church was entirely destroyed and
the upper story‘ of Mr. Hoyt's residence;
that a colored man named Edw. Brown was
burned to death; and that the house 'of Mr.
Roberts 0n Summer street, was also struck
by lightning, and the flag-staff of the Yale
Lock Co.
We understand that the Water Company
are constructing a new and larger reservoir
which is nearly ready for use, and that near-
ly all the water had been drawn from the
old reservoir, which accounts for the limited
supply and light pressure.
The steamer was anxiously looked for,
warmly greeted, and immediately put to
work to extinguish the fire in the upper por-
tion of Mr. Hoyt’s residence.

CITY NEWS.
BY OUR LOCAL REPORTER.
Rev. Mr. Hibbard occupied Trinity church
pulpit, on Sunday.
Those who are visiting the vicinity ofzthe
White Mountains will take it as a joke when
they see by a local journal that they are re-
ported as visiting Saratoga, Niagara, and
otherwestern cities.
We again beg and beseech our city street
commissioner to have a little consideration
and mercy upon those who have to ride to
and from the city, and upon the faithful
horses. If the grading of Woodward avenue
occupies all the men to be found—we know
where there are two or three boys, who
would pick the loose stones from Main
street, Flex and Capes hills and the Turn-
pike in two days. We suppose, however,
that they will receive attention and be rem-
edied, at about the same time that the Dual-
ance of Railroad pond will be.

Speaking of the political prospects to a
well known temperance advocate, he said:
Why a few days since a Mr. Bailey, of Dan-
bury, was heard to say, “The third party do
not expect to elect any of their candidates,
but it would probably make the state Demo-
cratic. Their action was not so much with
the expectation of aiding the cause of tem-
perance as for the purpose of punishing the
Republican party." For this, then. they
expect to so abt as to turn their cause, over
to the mercy of its worst enemies, the de-
moeracy. We do not believe any large
portion of the temperance party will he so
short sighted as to adopt so suicidal a.
course.

Connecticut Post Offices. ‘
The adjustment of the salaries of the post-
masters in Connecticut has been completed
by the post office department. By law this
work has to be done every two years, the last
adjustment having been made in 1880. Con-
necticut has 459 post-offices, of which num-
ber fifty-one are Presidential offices. When
a post office has sufficient receipts to justify
the payment of one thousand dollars salary,
the postmaster is nominated by the President
and confirmed by the Senate, and this leads
It is this
grade that has been recently receiving atten-
tion. The offices of the fourth class are the
most numerous, and include all below the
thousand dollar'standard. Then, again, the
Presidential offices are divided into three
classes. The first class receive three thou-
sand dollars a year or over; the second from
two thousand to three; and the third from
one thousand to two thousand dollars.
In Connecticut there are three ofllces of
the first class, Bridgeport, Hartford and New
Haven. The first named does not receive an
increase, but both of the latter get another
hundred a year. The office in the State
which has made the biggest jump is Stoning-
ton, which gains six hundred dollars a year.
Following is Ansonia with a gain of four
hundred. Two gain three hundred, Collins-
villc and South Manchester, while ten gain
two hundred. They are Branford, Essex,
Greenwich, Guilford, Plainville, Seymour,
South Norwalk, Thompsonville, Unionville,
and Windsor Locks. A good many others
gain an additional hundred. The only office
which suffered a reduction is Birmingham,
and it loses one hundred dollars. Two new
Presidential offices have been created within
the past few days, New Hartford at $1,200,
and Westport, $1,000.
The following are the Presidential offices
of Connecticut, with the new salaries as pre-
pared for the two years next to come:

tious endeavor oi the teacher to secure to the
pupils the advantages of a thormigh practical and
ornamental education, and no opportunity will be
neglected to inspire in thc school.nn earnestjdesirc

these branches are important in all spheres of life.
