Boroug'h Election.
The Registrars hold a public session on
Wednesday afternoon for the purpose of
correcting the voting lists. They will act
only on such names as were left With the
Borough Clerk previous to this Monday
afternoon, and will act upon no new names.
The Republican caucus for the nomination
of candidates for Borough officers will be held
at the Town Hall this Tuesday evening. It
is hoped that the attendance will be very
general. The election takes place next Mon-
day at the Town Hall, the polls being open
from 7 a. m. until,3 o’clock p. in. After
the closing of the polls the anuai reports Will
be read.
*Qu-o—F—
The Speakership.
In our advocacy of our senior Representa-
tive, Mr. COwrns, for the Speakership, it is
with no purpose of doing injustice to the
many other names, now before the people of
this State, for that exalted position. But it
is first, because we know Mr. Cowlcs to be
as well, if not more abundantly equipped for
the place than any other we have yet heard
mentioned. He is not a seeker of the
position,but the earnest Republican workers,
who can “point with pride” to results in
this county, do desire that this section of the
State should be honored in his selection.
Had the remainder of our State done as well
as Fairfield county did, and especially Mr.
Cowlcs’ section of the county, Mr. Bulkele’y
and not Mr. Waller would be our next
Governor. ,Had this county done as badly
as the other counties of the State, we should
have lost the control of the Legislature itself.
This result was accomplished by themost
arduous and painstaking work. Never were
greater exertions made to get out a full vote
or the canvass worked down to niinuter
details, and this work and the result of it
deserve recognition at the hands of our Re-
publican friends throughout the State. Fair-
field county is not up in line in its efforts to
gain, or in its suéccss in gaining, high Ofiicial
distinctions. She is usually content to do
the work and enjoy-the glory of the work,
while others enjoy the honors. The record
will not be an altogether unprofitable study
in this connection. The record shows that in
sixty years our county has had but two
Speakers. In one hundred and sixty years
we have had but five, while always sending
able and competent men to the Legis-
lature. ' Mr. Ccv. les is the first man
who has been returned the “third term”
from this section of Norwalk for more
than forty years. He is a man of cul-
ture, being a graduate of Williams College,
and also a graduate from the law ofiice here
of the late Chief-Justice Butler. He is quick
and ready, and well up in the affairs of the
State and Nation, and in his capacity to
despatch business would prove a most accept-
able and useful presiding officer. In a spirit
of fair and candid recognition of the claims
of Fairfieid county, we do hope the Repub-
‘ lican majority of the next Legislature will at
least proffer their Republican allies at this
end of the State the honor of the Speakershi p.
Thanksgiving.
This chief New England festival of the
year, occurs Thursday, and it is needless
for us to suggest that the best practical way
for us all to prove opr sense of thankfulness
for mercies and blessings enjoyed, is to do
all in our pOWer to render the life and home
of some less fortunate fellow creature, more
blessed and happy. Don’t forget the poor
on such a day. A turkey, a chicken, a dol-
lar or a dime—if you can give no more——
may gladden the hearts of many suffering
children of want far more than we know
Remember ’tis more blessed to give than to
receive.

The Neptunes.
The re-union of the Neptune Club was
held at Bartlett’s City Hotel Wednesday
evening. The attendance was larger than
usual, a company of forty-eight being in
attendance. Our borough and city press
gang and officials were on hand, as were
many members from remote localities.
Bartlett maintained his high and well de-
served reputaticn as a dispenser of appetis-
ing viands at the sumptuous supper prepared
by him. After feasting, speeches, songs,
, and anecdotes were in order, and it is
needless to say that the house was repeatedly
“ brought down” by the wildest applause.
The following gentlemen were-elected as
Ofllcers for the ensuing year : C. l’ . 'l‘oinp-
kins, Comiuodoie; H. W. Lester,
commodore; C'uarleg Olmstmtd, secretary;
LeGrand Belts. treasurer; A. J. Cl'Oilli,
judge advocate; A. J. Meeker, commissary ;
John H. Ferris, sailing master; E. O
Keeler, postmaster ; Ferd. B. Smith, pioneer;
the chaplain and surgeon of last year holding
over. Mr. Ferris was selected to hunt up
a suitable vessel for next year's cruise and
a vote was taken to sail from Norwalk
Bridge to Oak Bluffs, Tuesday, August 8,
1883. Everything connected with the
fourteenth reunion, was delightfully carried
out. The warm, social greetings of the long
separated members Were most enthusiastic
and every (ne present felt that it was
not only a good place to be in, but an
honor and an unalloyed pleasure to be a

following appointments on his staff : General

Probably nowhere in our state, if in the

always known that any one who picked “Tcm

Cheaper Fares!
The “Americas people have “cut the
rates”.to sonic purpose thistime. The fare
to and from New York and Norwalk, will
be for the rest of the season but 15 cents
for single and 25 cents for a round trip.
At this rate of transportation it is cheaper
to go to New York by this taut and rapid
little steamer than to stay at home. .

A New Trunk Line.
OF THE GRAND TRUNK, OF CANADA, TO GET
INTO NEW YORK.
From the deminion of Canada it has leaked
out that an important trunk line combination
is about to be efifccted which will prove a
powerful factor in all through traffic. The
Grand Trunk Road, in its rivalry with the
Canada Pacific, has been seeking to gain
independent connections with Boston and
New York over the Central Vermont Line.
The latter road, being involved in litigation
of some twenty years’ standing with the
Vermont and Canada Road,the desired result
could not be reached unless that matter was
disposed of. A compromise will probably
soon be reached on this basis: The Central
Vermont is to issue seven millions of five
per cent. first mortgage bonds. One million
will sctzle the claim Of the Vermont and
Canada, four millions will redeem outstand-
ing eight per cents. and two millions will
cancel other obligations. It is then proposed
to lease the Central Vermont to the Grand
Trunk at a fair rate. The Grand Trunk will
then control a line from the West to Lung
Island Sound, via the New London and
Northern Railroad and to New York, via the
Norwich and New York Transportation Com-
pany’s line of palatial Sound steamers belong-
ing to which is the gorgeous steamer “ City
-of Worcester."
It is claimed that the new line (about 1,835
miles, from Chicago to New York,) will be
able to. compete for through business if the
other trunk lines attempt to force up rates.
Advantages will also be gained by the Gen-
tral Vermont’s connections over the Boston,
Lowell and Concord and the Fitchburg roads
with Boston. It is expected that this new
arrangement will becompleted in a» few
Weeks. .
Additional, to the above, it. is stated that
this new and powerful railroad combination
is also engaged in active investigations as to
some means of reaching New York city over
some of the Connecticut roads. The House-
tonic is mentioned as one of the most feasible
lines to absorb, but that lands freight and
passenger business at Bridgeport, and some
line with a terminus nearer New York would
be more desirable. The Danburg/ and Nor-
walk Railroad occupies just the ground of
vantage. Its line could be extended north-
ward, and if need be, southward, to meet
the full requirements of this new>and vastly
important through railroad scheme. We
hope our own people and the owners and
managers of our popular little local road,
will awake to the possibilities of this grand
enterprise, and if possible secure for Norwalk
its terminus.

The passenger receipts of the Housatonic
Railroad Company for the fiscal year ending
September 30th, 1882 not only show a hand-

ending September 301h,1882, but also over
the corresponding time in 1874. The pas-

to 1882 Very much of the present pros-

Cashier Craufurd recently took a package
bearing the name of Samuel Lynes, which
had been deposited in the vault of the Bank
of Norwalk for a number of years, to Mrs.
Lynes and suggested that it might be opened
and its contents ascertained. The examina-
tion revealed the astounding fact that the
package contained $20,000 in bank bills !
Unfortunately for Mr. Lynes’s heirs the bills
were on the “Bank of Washtenaw” of Ann
. Arbour, Michigan, an institution which was
incorporated in 1833. but failed some time
after 1854. The bills belonged to the estate
of Mr. Cooly, on which Mr. Lyncs was ad—
ministrator and are utterley worthless as a
circulating medium. ' -
The forthcoming report of Secretary
Teller, of the Interior department, will show
tha’ the south is just now‘a rapidly grow-
ing country as regards settlement. In 1879
the “sales of _public lands in the states of
Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi
and Florida amounted to 481,174 acres, or
5-6 of the entire salcsfor the year. In 1882
the sales amounted to 2,355,764 acres, or
fifteen per cent. of the entire sales." It is
also shown that most of the ’land taken was
by actual settlers for agricultural purposes.
Secretary Teller has brought to the admin-
degrce of industry and practical business
sense. He is frequently found at his desk,
before his clerks arrive in the morning and
remains long after ofiice hours in the
evening, and with his clear head and
methodical habits, keeps the desks clearer
from day to day than was ever done in that
department before.

First CongregationEChurch.
The meeting of the Church on Thursday
evening last, to consider the matter of sup-
plying the pulpit, was quite largely attended,
and much interest was manifested, The
matter was fully discussed by prominent
members, and the merits of several candidates
duly considered. The former vote to the
effect that/the church was not ready to settle
apastor was reconsidered, after which an
expression of opinion resulted in quite a large
majority vote in favor of calling Rev. Mr.
Meserve, of New Haven. As the Rev. gen-
tleman has only preached in the church one
Sunday it was deemed best to appoint a com.
mittee of investigation to report-at an ad-
journed meeting to be held next week Mon-
da'y evening, Dec. 4th. Mr. Meserve has
been located in New Haven for nine or ten
years. The committee comprising Messrs.
F. S. John Lockwood, Wm. E. Marvin and
Prof. Alex. Johnston, visited New Haven on
Sunday last, to listen to Rev. Mr. Meserve.
Rev. Mr. Ladd, of Danbury, supplied the
pulpit last Sunday.

A
Another Fire.
Shortly before twelve o’clock Friday
night, fire was discovered issuing from the
building at the corner of Water and Chapel
streets, occupied by Daniel Shea as a groc-
ery store. g’I‘he fire was first discovered by
a. sister of Mr. Shea’s who awoke him and
gave the alarm, The fire laddia were
promptly on hand but owing to the high
wind it was sometime before the fire could
be gotten under control, and not before the
stock and fixtures were a total loss. Mr.
Shea estimates his loss at about $1,000
$750 in a Williamsburgh Company. In the
building, besides the stock,was a nearly new
harness valued at $45 which was also
consumed. The fire ws undoubtedly of an
incendiary origin, as the back door and
window were .open when Mr. S. reached
the spot, though closed and locked by him
previously,- and the fire evidently started
near the oil barrel. Mr. Shea is a young
man who only started in business last April
and the blow is a severe one forghim, He
intends soon to reopen at the same place
and will, we hope, receive the aid and en-
couragement that his energy deserves.

Some two hundred or more Odd Fellows
gathered in the elegant rooms of Our Broth-
ers’ Lodge, Tuesday evening, to witness the
working of the degrees by Quinnipiac Lodge
of New Haven. Some were present who
had never even seen the new work, and
many were there without the word, showing
-how strong an interest had been created.
The number present included several Past
Grand masters and other dignitaries, and the
number of Past Grands who came .just a
little late was quite remarkable. The lodge
was opened in the usual manner, Noble
Grand Hyatt in. the chair, after which
Quiniiipiac lodge entered and conducted
the work. The exemplification of the work
was very elaborate and complete, and bean-
tiful throughout—a surprise to most broth-
ers present and a delight to all. Our Broth-
ers’ ‘and nButler Lodges certainly have rea-"
son to be grateful to the officials of;Quinnip-
iac Lodge for their kindgess in visiting
NorWalk. After the conclusion of the work
several short speeches were made by ofiicers
of Quinnipiac Lodge, Past Grand Master
Hill, Past Grand Olmstead and others.
Probably a result of this visit will be the
purchase of more elaborate costumes and
paraphernalia by Our Brothers’ ,Lodge and
careful training of officials in an effort to
produce the work in a similar manner.

Railroad Accidents.
Early last Monday morning a freight train

'which was crossing the track. As it was the
horse shied and horse, wagon and driver fell
over the fence into the salt meadow, the
horse being badly hurt. The man escaped
with only a few bruises. .

Wednesday night, ran off the track near
Mamaroneck, delaying the other night trains.

If the Sentinel wishes our views of the
Norwalk part of the River and Harbor Bill
as is illustrated by its practical workings
here, we say as we said'weeks ago, in our
article defending the general measure, that
here,,it isa simply a disgrace and outrage.
The workfishould have been deferred until one
single appropriation of $25,000 could have
been secured and the work commenced at
the hai'bor's mouth and dug through to the
stone bridge here at the borough. Thus the
work would have been properly finished and
fifty thousand dollars of the people’s money
saved. ~

The Union Industrial school is specially
worthy of encouragement and, assistance
from the public. It is conducted by young
ladies of'the Borough who devote their time
and give careful attention -to_the work of
teaching young girls to cut and make their
own garments, etc. It is a labor of love,
and the community ought to encourage the
ladies by cheerfully contributing the neces-
sary funds to carry on the work. Already
many young girls have received careful in-
struction in sewing and'the making of gar-
ments which they never could have received
at home. > .
The fire which occurred in the factory at
Providence last week, the particulars of
which are given on’ our outside page, clearly
demonstrates the fact that there has been
criminal negligence existing in the con-
struction of many of our New England
factories. Had sufficient fire-escapes been
provided the loss of life and injury to limbs
need not have occurred. Too much atten-
tion can not be given to these matters, and
if the owners of some of the factories and
workshops in Norwalk are wise, they will
see to it that their buildings are provided
with suitable meansfof exit in case of fire
and thus save themselves the responsibility
_ of just such a horror here.

When «the commutation system ’was- first
started .on the New Haven RR. years ago,
the total number of commiiters were less
than a score, but by degrees the number has
increased, till now there are 2,800 persons
commuting between New York and other
stations in the line and in addition there are
probably 2,000 more of what are styled “may
commuters," that is, persons who commute
between way stations.- FOI'merly tickets
were issued for no less time than three
months, but the increasing pressure brought
to bear on the part of the public for their
issuance for a shorter limit of time at pro-
portionate rates finally resulted in the issu-
ance of monthly tickets. ' The custom on
the part of conductors of looking them over
only on the first and second days Of the
month, has resulted in a growing abuse by a
few dishonest persons, in fact the system has
been too lax. Recently one or more com-
plaints from commuters themselves have
been sent in to Prest. Watrous, complaining
that they have ridden regularly in certain
trains and have not been called upon to show
tickets. Without doubt these busy-bodies
have been actuated in each instance by some
fancied grievance and put upon this expedi-
ent of bringing censure upon the conductor.
To place a check upon these informers and
for mutual protection the conductors talked
the matter over among themselves, and agreed
would require all commuters to sth their
ticket each time they rode and in the case of
these in and out of New York, examine them
immediately after leaving G. C. Depot and
when going west, immediately after leaving
Mount Vernon. The system has worked
nicely thus far and the commuters themselves
shew a disposition to assist the conductors in
its enforcement by promptly showing their
tickets Without the formality of being asked
to produce them. Some of the methods by
which commuters have played the dishonest
part could be described, but as no good pur-
pose would be served by such description,
we omit writing them up. Marne.

“Our Boys.”
The dramatic entertainment given by the
Bigelow Battalion Friday evening, wasa
surprising delight to the immense audience
that witnessed their amateur perforanee.
Much was,expected because of their excep-
tional merit last year, but this performance
sional company on the road. It would be
invidious to single out any one as especially
to be commended, where all‘did so well,
but itis no disparagement to any of the others
to say that 'our two tooth-pulling profes-
sionals, (Drs. Many and Coolidge) left the
impression on all, that they had mistaken
theirvocation in life in studying dentistry
instead of Shakspeare. The most practiced
professionals on the stage could not have
acted their parts to better satisfaction.
Miss Cbolwell did surprisingly 'well, while
the Mrs. Curtis, Bissell and Coolidge could
not have been improved upon in their re-'
spective roles. Osborne of course is al-
ways good, and had jhe , not jexcelled
himself on this occasion, we should have
remanded him to our fighting critic for
summary discipline. Price, Camp and
Moody, enacted their parts most gratifying-
ly. All in all, such a really meritorious and
delightful entertainment in its every feature
was never given in Norwalk before, nor was
our Opera House ever so absolutely packed
to its utmost capacity, with the very cream
of genteel and appreciative Norwalk society.
Success to the Bigelows and may their shad-
ow never be less.
At the Organ Recital on Tuesday evening,
Mr. Gibson will play: Overture to Stradella,
Sonata in (1 minor by Guilmant, Bach’s
Doric Toccata, Prelude and Fugue in G by
Mendelssohn, and several smaller pieces;
and Miss Faycrweather will sing“Well-a-

Guglielmo, and “Light and rosy be thy
slumbers,” by Schubert.
9; Music Hall.
Manager Knapp, with his usual energy in
providing good entertainments for ourpeople
has induced the_California Minstrels to ap-
pear at Music Hall on Wednesday evening of
this week. Speaking of one of their en-
tertainments the Spencer, (Mass) Daily
Sun says:
“True to his promise, Manager Sam‘s
CALIFORNIA MINSTBELS were simply im-
mense. The first part was given by twenty-
two performers, the beautiful singing of the
quartette, and thefiue instrumental music of
the orchestra elicited frequent and hearty ap-
plause, while the witticisms of Gibbs and
Ward—bones and tambo—kept the audience
up the laughing point almost constantly. In
the olio there was not a single dull feature,
from the overture of the orchestra to the
closing farce. The oddities of Wally Gibbs,
particularly his pathetic ballads, won for
him repeated encores, and established him as
a favorite whom the boys will be pleased to
see again.
Ward was also loudly rcdemanded until
those accommodating gentlemen could do no
more than simply walk upon the stage and
acknowledge the compliment paid. them.
But, really, this is no more than we could ex-
pect from Manager Skiff,»as the amusement
public have come to look upon his ventures
as successes, so far as excellence in point of
talent is concerned, and we are pleased to
chronicle the fact that he has never as ye
disappointed them. -

For Friday evening an unusually fine treat
is promised. Miss Alma Stuart Stanley will
appear in a new and pleasing comedy-drama
called “Vic.” Miss Stanley’s acting is very
fine. In the course of the play, Miss Stan-
ley sustains five different characters, and so
well is she disguised each time that it is im-
porsible to discover her former identity.
Humpty Dumpty sat on‘ a. Wall.
. Science has proved that laughter aids diges-
tion and the old saying “Laugh and grow
fat” has become almost a proverb. Thin per-
sons wishing tO grow fat and those who have
carefully stowed away their Thanksgiving
turkey, can prove these assertions by going
to the Opera House, Thanksgiving afternoon
and evening and Witnessing the pantomime
of Humpty Dnmpty as performed by Miaco's
Humpty Dumpty troupe. The Company
0
embraces many first class artistes chief among
whom iaC. W. Ravel, the Original Grimaldi.
The matinee commences at 2 o’clock sharp,
and the evening performance at 8. A good
show and lots of fun may be looked for.
An entertainment will be given next Mon-
day evening in Sons of Temperance Hall,
under the auspices of Concord Division.
Part first will consist of musical selections
and recitationsby members of the Order,
the eniertaihment closing with the pleasing
dramatic sketch “Down‘by the Sea,” the
various characters being taken by members
of the Division. The Hall will undoubtedly
be found too small to accommodate the
people who will desire to see the perform-
ances. .
There was a large audience at the Opera

The President has appointed a successor
to Postmaster Ainger in the person of
Thomas L. Tulloch, a native of New
Hampshire and for the pagt four years

According to Washington dispatches it is
not likely that the friends of the plan to
abolish the internal revenue system will suc-

were especially created by an All-wise

of various kinds. Tlie‘fair will continue for
nine days, each day having its special feature
of interest. It is to be conducted under the
auspices of the Society of the Army of the
Cumberland, and its proceeds are to be de-
voted to the erection of a monument here, to
the memory of the dead president.

' TARIFF AND TAX LEGISLATION.
Congressman Manning favors opposition
on the part of the Democrats to all tariff
revision or internal revenue tax reduction at
the coming session of Congress. His opin-
ion is that the Republicans hope to win
public favor by reducing the internal
revenue taxes, but he thinks they do not
intend to touch the tariff. If all legislation
relating to either subject can be postponed
until the 4th of March, he thinks, the Dem-
ocrats will reap much greater advantage by
dealing with the two subjects together th'é‘y
could otherwise do.
