SPECIAL' NOTICE TO SUB-
SCRIBE'RS.
In order to get in the fullest possible
amount of local news, we propose hereafter
to print the Gamma early on the morning
of Tnnsnav, (the day it has always been
dated) instead of. going to press Monday
night, as has been the practice in late years.
By issuing our paper the day it is dated, we
are given several more hours to collect and
the local happenings of Saturday, Sunday
and Monday. The new arrangement, we are
assured, will give our many advertising
friends better opportunities for the prepara-
tion of their advertisements. Should this
change for any reason not prove as beneficial
and satisfactory to our readers as is now
supposed, we shall gladly return to the old
way again.
,_.——————-
To Advertisers.
If our advertising friends will not delay
their favors, but send them in at the earliest
possible moment, we shall be enabled to dis-
play and properly classify their advertise-
ments.

The President’s Messsage .
President ABTHUB’S second message was
sent to congress\yesterday and will be read
with interest. His allusions to the South
American war will cover the case completly,
and his description of the proposed Peace
Congress and its “somewhat novM” features
will hardly be relished in some quarters and
is likely to bring out some undignified mani-
festations. The most important portions of
the message are those relating to internal
revenue reduction, tariff revision, the reduc-'
tion of postage, the proposed amendments
giving the Executive discretionary power in
regard to such measures as the River and
Harbor Bill and the general subject of inter
nal improvements. The views of the Presi-
dent ‘on this latter question will command
universal respect, while his suggestions in re-
gard to the internal revenue and tariff are
sound and will receive the approval of the
country. Secretary 'Fomnn's admonition
that piling up of a surplus in the Treasury is
certain to produce calamitious results is
timely and must be heeded- It is certain to
produce great stringency in the money mar-
ket or oblige the Government to purchase its
bonds in the open market at a great premium.
The wisdom. therefore of sweeping reduc-
tions in the internal revenue and of enlarging
the free list is obvious. The President goes
beyond where he did last year and now pro-
poses the abolution of all the internal rev-
enue but the taxes on spirits. The argu-
ments he advances to support this position
_'are sound and true. Where he says about
the silver coinage deserves serious attention
for it is redieulous in the extreme to continue
coining this money that the people refuse to
take. The closing parts of the message are
not the least interesting. The President’s
promise of “hearty ce-operation” with any
practical work for the reform of the civil
service and the defence he enters against the
charges that have been uttered that he has
tnade undue use of the patronage will appeal
fair and reasonable men. His emphatic dec-
larations on the question of political assess-
ments are also calculated to please the ma-
jority. The message, taken altogether, will
be awarded the praise of being above the
average of such State papers. .
The message will be printed in full on our
next week's outside.
Thanksgiving Sermon.
Rev. Augustus Beard delighted a large
attendance at the ' First Congregational
church on Thanksgiving day with a sermon
of far more ability, originality and power
than people are accustomed to on such oc-
casions. His playful fancies and subtle
humor found‘full play in dealing with the
old time and the new, and his logic was as
unanswerable and irresistable as was his
satire. Dr. Beard is a man of remarkable
ability and his praises are in all the churches.
He preached from the same pulpit again
Sunday. The Doctor gave a very interest-
ing account of his personal observations
among the Hugenots and Waldenaiansllast
summer while travelling through France
and also an account of the MacCall mission
and its resultant and marvelous religious
awakening among the masses of the common
people of that remarkable country.
THE NEW PASTOR.
According to previous notice, a meeting
of the members of the First Congregational
Church was held last evening. The question
was upon the proposed calling of the Rev.
Mr. Meserve to occupy the now vacant pul-
pit, and the meeting was largely attended.
The vote in his favor was practically an
unanimous one, out of 81 votes cast there
being only two in the negative. We are glad
to welcome Mr. Meserve amonst as!
Congressman Lynch, of Mississippi, admits
his defeat by 614 votes, but says there is a
marked improvement in the tone of public
sentiment in that section. As far as he has
been ablcto learn the late election was fair
and the count honest throughout the district,
for the first time since 1874 This change is
no doubt due in a great measure to the
efforts of the‘ Vicksburg Herald to break up
the practice of false counting. In a recent
issue that paper said :
“ No greater danger menaces the people of
this country than ballot-cheating. The rights
and liberties of all citizens are involved, and
those who speak lightly of the dangers re-
mind us of those blunderers who twenty-two
years ago said there .would be no war, and
that not enough blood would be spilled to
stain a pocket handkerchief."

“ Honor to Whom Honor,” &c.
In our somewhat enthusiastic notice of
those . who took such creditable part in the
recent amateur performance of “ Our Boys,”
we said nothing of the guiding genius to
whose good taste, theatrical knowledge and
kindly interest, the Bigelows were so greatly
indebted for the fine setting of their play on
the stage, for the general arrangement of
details, and the order and smoothness with
which everything passed off on that occasion.
It is needless to say that we refer to William
H. Earle, Esq., although those present the
evening of the play have probably a slight
idea as to how greatly they were indebted to
his admirable assistance.

Glad of it.
The Danbury Railroad folks, having had
their attention called to the competition
their reducbd tickets between South Norwalk
and the Bridge was creating with the Horse
Railway, have ordered all sales of tickets for
less than five cents, discontinued. Our Horse
Railroad is a local necessity, and every fair-
minded person will rejoice that its business
is not to be thus competitively interfered
with.

After service as topographer of the Post of-
fice Department for about twenty years, and
after a governmental‘servlce of more than
twenty-seven years, Mr. W. L. Nicholson

Our Horse Railroad. \
The horse ears made the early morning
trains all right Wednesday, the snow having
been removed in season. We are informed
that the party engaged to clear the track, the
first snow-storm, failedto do his work, and
this explains the reason :why the cars failed
to run on that occasion, to the earlier trains.
On Wednesday. more than seven thousand
people left New York city for New England
over the New York, New Haven and Hart-
ford road. While all roadsshowed an in-
crease of travel,J.he great drift was towards
New England.
:L 1 -
and other Railroad
Enterprises !
That there “ is something in the wind "
of more than ordinary significance, in refer-
ence to new railroad combinations, projects
and enterprises, is certain. 'The party of
railroad engineers who have been running a
new parallel line from the New York State
line has reached Meriden. They are reticent
as they were when here and in Westport,
Fairfieid, Bridgeport, Stratford, and Milford.
Their line, as run through Norwalk, crosses
the Amphitheatre property and the Danbury
Parallel
Dr. Gregory homestead. Indeed, their sur-
vey comes out into Main street, through the
front-door yard of Dr. James S. Gregory.
The operations of this surveying party
have been conducted with equal-secresy and
energy, and from all that cin be gathered, it
would seem to “ mean business ” on the
part of its promoters. It certainly has no
connection whatever with our owhx local
parallel organization of many years standing,
nor is it in any wise being promoted by the
Consolidated interests. This latter road is
going ahead' with the construction of its four
tracks, and has no apparent purpose to go
out of its way to promote the building of the
Competitive Parallel.
——
Mr. S. E. Olmstead, the President of the
Connecticut Parallel Association, gives the
legal notice in to-day’s Gamma of the inten-
tion of his organization to apply to the next
General Assembly for a special charter under
which they may issue stock and bonds, and
proceed to the construction of their long
contemplated road. Meanwhile, the follow-
ing associated press despatch appears in Sat-
urday’s papers : .
PARALLEL ROAD anon Naw roux To srnrNc-
mm).
HARTFORD, Dec. 1.—A party of engineers
who have been at work in the v1c1nity of
Meriden, and who have evaded questions as
to the purpose of their labor, are now said to
be in the employ of the Delaware and Lack-
awauna Company, and to be surveying for a
railroad between Springfield and New York,
fismliel to the New York, New Haven and
artford road. '
This telegraphic news item has reference
to the surveying parties who were recently
at work here in Norwalk, and a despatch
from New Haven on Saturday reports the
following: .
Vice-President E. M. Read, of the Cm-
solidated Road, said to—day in regard to a
report that engineers had been surveying for
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad Company a parallel road from New
York to Springfield alongside of the Consoli-
dated that he did not think their efiorta
would amount to anything. He could not
understand why it was necessary for that
company to build the road, unless it wished
increased transportation facilities for its coal-
carrying trade. He said that the Consoli-
dated Road could carry all the coal that the
Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Com-
pany could send much cheaper than that
compauycould build a road for that purpose.
He said that parties had been surveying for
the so-called parallel road for thirty years,
but, beyond driving stakes and making a
good deal of a stir and speculation by their
movements, their efforts had amounted prac-
tically to nothing, and it would not surprise
him to hear that almost any company was
entertaining similar designs.
Mr. Reed’s opinions on any matters con-
nected with his owu company or in regard to
the clearing of the tracks of a demolished
freight train, would be of more value than it
can be in regard to a competitive line. There
is unquestibnably a settled purpose to ‘unite
some new and powerful railroad organization
with a view of getting into and out of the
city of New York and the south-easternmost
of the New England States. What such
new association may become, circumstances
and conditions in the railroad line, as yet
undeveloped, will, no doubt, very largely,
detefminei Of one thing our readers, we
think, may feel assured, and that is, that
very soon crystalize into such new and im-
portant railroad combinations as will render
Connecticut 8 far more important'artery of
railroad inter-communication than most of
her resident people have ever anticipated.
At all events, we can well afford to “ wait a
little longer " and “see what make“ see."-
Wrecked by a Misplaced Switch.
An accident occurred to a freight train on
the" New York and New Haven Railroad at
Portchester, a short distance east of the sta-
tion, a few minutes after 7 o’clock, Friday
morning. There was no loss of life, although
ten cars and the engine and tender were
wrecked. The disaster was caused by a
switch being misplaced by a brakeman, who
recently took the place of a younger man,
who was dismissed in consequence of being
under age. The conductor of the Portchester
special which starts for- New York at 7:20
a.m., before making up his train sent the new
brakeman up the road to flag any approahing
train from the east and his head brakeman
down the road to watch for danger in that
direction. The third brakemau was sent to
being made up ready for a start. While in
the switch-house the new brakeman, Shubel
S. Butterfield, heard a train approaching
which he mistook for the special "on which he
was employed, and be adjusted a switch for
it. Immediately afterward a through express
freight train from the Harlem River, consist-
ing of twenty heavily loaded cars, sixteen
destined for Boston and four for Springfield,
in charge of George Dadc, conductor, with
Lewis Fowler, "engineer of the locomotive,
No. 18, the same that was badly injured in a
collision at that plac some time ago, went
dashing- by and was “derailed" by the mist
placed switch. Before the train could:be
stopped, the rails were ripped [IP and twisted
into all sorts of shapes. Tieb were torn up
and the ground was ploughed to a consider-
able depth.‘ The engineer remainedi’at his
juries. He told his fireman to jump and save
himself, which he did, being scarcely injured
in his decent fromjthe tender down the east
embankment twenty feet. Two brakemen
who were riding on the top of the ears, leap.
ed to the foot of the embankment, the snow
saving them from any severe injuries. One
brakeman, James Welsh, of New Haven, re-
ceived a cut on his head. 'He was attended
by Dr. Sands, of Portchester, who stated that
the injury was not of a serious character.
Until 11 o’clock both tracks of the road were
blocked by the wrecked cars. The 7:10 and
8:05 trains from the Grand Central Depot,
were stopped at Rye until after 11 a.m. The
passengers were transferred by sloighs to
other trains east of the scene of' the disaster,
and conveyed to Bridgeport, New Haven and
other points. In like manner, passengers
from {the east were transferred to the trains
detained below the wreck and thus carried to
the city. The road was cleared of obstruc-
tions in the afternoon.
Chas. N. Wood, seeing a colored friend
and brother looking wistfuily on a company
of festive fellows up Main Street, the night
before Thanksgiving, oscilating the os-
sifled substances over sundry Turkeys, asked
the darkey why he did not take a chance.
The reply was truly African :-—“‘Afore do
Lord, boas, I- just feels as of I’d win one data
turkeys, if any onc’d put up for me, but I
hasn't a cent, and not 0’ thing to eat in my
house for to-morrow." Wood put up three
nickels for Sambo and sure'enough, his pro-
sentment was correct. He threw three sixes
and won the turkey. With eyeballs protrud-
ing like the head light of a locomotive and
chin wet with the drool of his expected din-
ner, be seized the Turkey by the legs and ran
preciptately down the street. A few minutes
later, back he came all out of breath to say:
“Boss 1 was so overpowered, I forgot to
thank ye for puttin up for me; I knowed I'd
win it if yer did. I didn’t have nothin’ to eat
to home and} was so tickled. up somehow .I
forgot to thank yer for ‘puttln up' for me.”
“Charley" told him it was all right and to
hurry home with his prize, when he struck a
Rowoll gait and soon disappeared around
the corner of Wall Street, ,muttering, uI
know’d I'd win dat Turkey, suah, if they’d
put up for me.” ~ "

After the polls had closed, a town-méoting
was called as advertised, and the, matter of
building a new supply reservoir was pre-
sented. A report of the finances of the
Water Department was read and approved,
after which the recommendation of .the
Board of Water Commissioneri, as to the '
location of the new reservoir, was read. It
recommended that the. new reservoir be
built on the land of Aaron 0. Wakcman
and Messrs. Hoyt and Scott in the town of
Lewisboro, N. Y., about two miles above the
present New Canaan reservoir. The said
land covers about ten acres, and with a dam
20 feet in height, 100 feet in length on bot-
tom and 185 feet on top, will constitutes
basin from 18 to 20 feet in depth. Tho.
price of the land was $50 per acre forrwhuto
ever quantity might bodesired. The racem-
mendationa of the Commissioners were ap.
proved by the unanimous vote of the meet-
ing, and the following vote was passed:
Vow—That the sum of seven thousand
dollars be and is hereby appropriated from
the Borough Treasury, to be furnished as
called for by the Board of Water Commis-
sioners, for purchase of land and construction
of a storage reservoir in connection with the
present water system of the Borough of Nor-
walk. ,
The meeting then adjourned sine die, and
the registrars proceeded with the counting of
‘the ballots.
After the land above mentioned had been
contracted for by the Commissioners, a cer-
tain party, wishing either to cheat the
Borough out of a convenient site for its
reservoir, or else to make a little specula tion
out of the Borough's needs, offered the
owners of the land nearly double the price
agreed upon by the. Commissioners. Hie
offer, however, came too we, as the refusal
had already been given. ’ .
As soon as it became apparent that the
Republicans had carried the day, the Old
Gaza-m: hoisted its American flag, that true
symbol of Republican principles.
our School Teachers.
If there is any class of our citizens more
noted for their sobriety than another, it is
our hard working and accomplished corps of
Public School Teachers. Judge of their
consternation then, upon receving from the
Secretary of the Board of Schooinsitors, the
following startling and accusatory summons:
“You with your assistants, are requested to
meet a committee of the Board of School
Visitors in the Over River School Building,
on Monday evening, to consider the propri-
ety of teaching theme and the abuse of alcohol
in the Schools this year."
The italicising is ours, but any proposition
to set our teachers to work "to teach the use of
alcohol in our schools this year," or any
other year, would we know, be indiguautly
frowned down by at least,ali thesurviving
members of the late political temperance
party.

A Good Enough Morgan.
Thurlow Weed‘e “dying revelation," re-
specting the old, worn-out story about the
disappearance and alleged death of William
Morgan, of Rochester, which led to anti-Ma.
sonic political agitation more than fifty years
ago, has attracted renewed attention. Noth-
ingnew is supplied by this revelation except
Mr. Weed’s statement that a man named
John Whitney confessed to him that he, in
company with “Howard of Buflalo, Chub-
buek, ofLewistowu and Gaised'e, of Canada,"
had taken Morgan out in "a boat on the Niag-
ara River, bound him with a rope, to Twhich
slnkers were attached, and thrown overboard.
This confession, which Mr. Weed says was
“confidential" is. alleged to have been made
in 1881 in the presence of two witnesses. It
seems remarkable that, in the midst of the
animosity and excitement attending the anti-
Maeonic political crusade. such a story should
have been kept secret. As all parties named
in connection with it are now dead, there is
no means of testing whether it is a hallucin-
atiou of Mr. Weed’s, a hoax practised upon
him, or a true story. ‘

often, for the requirementsof our local trade.

Obituary.
mmNANT drones B. RUGGLIS.
To those members of the “ Old Seventeenth
Regiment " who have not already been ad-
vised of the fact. the enhancement of the
death of this officer, which took place some
four weeks. ago, will canoe universal regret
and sorrow among his comrades. “ Buggies,”
as he was familiarly; known to ofilcers and
men in the regiment, probably had more
friends than any other man in the command,
and. of him it can truthfully be said, "life
my did not valet."

for the humorous, “ Buggies" won friends
by the score. As a, soldier—none mailed

formed every duty that devolved upon him;
no matter whether it was his detail or not,
he responded with ,'the same promptness.
His merry laugh. his, jolly, good-natured dis-
position, his jokes and jeets. did much to
relieve the soldier’s life of monotony and
lrksomeness. 0n the march. in the camp,
or on the field of battle, he was the same.
His friendship to his fellow-man was of that'
kind that only heroes possess, and at the
same time it was his weakness. He was
devotedly true to every one but himself. At_
the request of many of his friends,the writer,
who enjoyed his intimate acquaintance and
friendship for over twenty years, has pre-
pared these hastily writteu lines in memory
of our departed friend. .

Good Advice.
With that disinterestedneu for which it
has long been famous and with equally com-.
meudable good judgment, the Hartford Post
gives Governor-elect Waller the following
piece of advice with which the‘people of
Fairfield County, irrespective of party, will
heartily concur: »
“The best appointment withinMr. Wal-
ler's gift will come during the session of the
legislature, this by the nomination of a can-
didate for insurance commissioner in place
of Mr. Brooks, whose term expires on July
6 next. We do not know. what influence
may be brought in favor of various candi-
dates, but there would boa happy political
conclusion of the matter and a recognition of
a democrat of character and influence if
Hon. Thomas Sanford, of Bedding should be
appointed. Mr. Sanford was upon the state
ticket with Mr. Waller, as a candidate for
comptroller and was the only candidate of
his party defeated, the result being brought
about by the action of the German associa-
tion in dropping him. He is a gentleman
who has hosts of friends throughout the state
and under ordinary circumstances would have
run handsomely with. his ticket. Though
not an insurance expert he has an excellent
business capacity, and would make a capa-
ble commissioner. Not being “inside,”
as the Waterbury American suggests, the
Post can only give him favorable mention
and leave the rest to the judgment of Mr.
Walter and his confidential advisers.”
It is not at all certain in our mind, that
Mr. Sanfggd‘s stomach is .yearning for any
such crumbs from the democratic table, but a.
better electiqn could not well be made.

Manager Mitchell deserves great credit for
his efforts to secure .amuaements for Nor-

grateful, One thing has been lacking viz.,
sufilcient police to quell any disturbance or

This fact was made manifest Thanksgiving
night when a disorderly rough in the audi-
ence at the Opera House made himself ob-
noxious and every one else uncomfortable
by his ~ drunken antics. Mr. Mitchell as-
sures us, however, that hereafter this evil
will be remedied and no one need fear a.rep'-

Why wouldn't it have been as well to
commence at the mouth cf the harbor with a
.five or ten thousand dollar-appropriation,
and make the harbor navigable as far as pos-
fible, as it wuto dig a ho o in the mud just‘
shave the railroad bridge f—Ropubh’oan.
, The only reason we ever heard why the ‘
cutting was not done at the mouth of the
harbor instead of nearer the Bridge was, m:
the small and lnsufiieicnt appropriations
could be best utilized in cutting through the
upper and and mm! bore. '

Manager Mitchell has been and done it
this time, surely. We knew that with the
825,000 that was presented to him last week
he would make things hum, and he certainly
is doing it. He has secured the famous
Mestuyer’a Tourist troupe who will hold
forth at the Opera House to-morrow (Tues-
day) evening. Of Mr. Mestayer, . nothing
need be said as he ranks among the highest
and most popular actors in our country.
The supporting company is a first class one
and if our friends wish to see a really A No.
1 entertainment and one unobj ectionable in
every feature, let them go to this one. Con-
fidently stating that not one who attends
will be disappointed, we predict a full house
and trust our predictions will be realized
and Mr. Mitchell repaid for his zealous cf.
forte to afford first class amusements to our
people.

On Friday night Manager Knapp promises
us 8 grth treat, viz., the performance of
‘.‘ The Professor" at Music Hall. This play
held the boards at the Madison square
Theatre, New York, for 151 consecutive
nights. It is simply immense and a splendid
evening’s entertainment may be looked for.
Mr. W. H. Gillette, who takes the part of
“ The Professor" is a. son of Ex-U. S. Sena-
tor Gillette of Hartford, and though rich,
stays on the stage through his love for the
profession. Having seen the play ourselves
we can say that the people of Norwalk will
not soon see a better. The stery of “T111:
Preseason" is as follows :
Daisy Brown is the'name of a pretty oung
irl who lived in the solitude of the bite
ountains. One day an awkward but.
handsome professor strayed into the woods
hudting for specimens. In a wild and
tangled glen he met this quaintlyyinteresting
maiden—something between ndine and
M’liss—and although mathematically op-
posed to women on scientific grounds, he
felt a little arrow enter his soul, and the cool
man of looks lost his head and then his heart
in the sombre forests of the mountains. The
dark-haired Daisy had a very wicked father
who wished to sell her to a wicked old man
for his money. The Professor becameaher
tmcher and friend,,and he did all he could
to save her from the clutches of her naughty
father. About this time he brother, who
had not seen her since she as a little girl,
came into the woods with a party of young
girls from Boston. The brother did not
recognize Daisy Brown as his sister, con-
sequently he too fell in love with the little
wood nymph. and the result was that the
Professor of trigonometry and acute angles
felt very melancholy and wanted to die.
He poured out his grief among the rocks of
the wilderness, and was about going into
another land when half a dozen of the
infatuated Boston girls rushed upon the
Professor and begged him not to leave them.
They did not know that he loved Daisy with
all his heart and mind—even more than he
loved geometry and the wild mysteries of
the indefinite calculus. The girls were on
the point of driving him to distraction when
a detective appeared and revealed the real
name of the girl of the mountains. This
changes everything but the rocks and the
trees, and the brook that dashed down the
mountain. The baother of course cannot
marry his own sister. Allis now clear for
the Professor. Diasy Brown nestles confi-
diugly in his bosom, and gives him her heart
foreuer. Thc‘ tective takes the wicked
father of to jar . But this is not all, the
pretty Boston girls also find lovers and there
is joy all around. These are the dry out-
lines of a picturesque'romance which will
enacted here. Daisy Brown who lose happy
the handsome Professor, and all the pretty,
girls, with their new dresses, will repeat the
delightful experiences “of their summer ad~
ventures in the White Mountains. To make
their efforts more impressive, a brook of
.real water will be introduced and it will leap
and sparkle down the mountain side just as
it did when Daisy and the Professor con-
ducted their courting on the mossy banks.

Mr. Gibson’s organ recital, last Tuesday
evening, was very slimly attended. Those
hear Mlal Fayerweather,‘misacd a decided
treat. This lady has a beautiful contralto
voice, which has been well cultivated, and
she sings with great taste and expression.
Perhaps the most generally pleasing of her
selections was the “Slumber Song” by Schu-
bert—a sombre, but very beautiful song. The
most interesting organ piece was the Sonata
by Guilmont. Mr. Gibson’s executions, as
usual, were excellently delivered.

I am also prepared to furnish the
celebrated R. 8r. F. brand of Michigan
xxx Sawed Shingles in carioad lots to
the trade direct from Michigan.
_I have retailed 300,000 of this brand
this fall and can give abundant refer~
ences from consumers as to quality of
Pine and Manufacture.
The greater portion of my lumber
was worked at the mills of T. H.
McGraw & 00., in Bay City, Michigan
and the quality of mill work is unsur-
passed. My stock was all bought fer
cash and the greater portion in the
Summer previous to the advance in
freights and prices. I will deliver to
any point required at reasonable
prices by rail, team or vessel: Ignat-
antee correct measure and will in all
cases where it is desired furnish piece
tally on all orders.
Respectfully soliciting a continu-
ance'of the patronage so liberally be-
stowed in the past, and asking an, ex-
umination of stock from all who have
not heretofore visited me,
I remain.
