r Norwalk Gazette. Tuesday,Februar-y 13, 1883. Editorial Letter. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 1883. Due Guam : The Senate practically concluded the tariff revision at a quarter past ten Friday night. The House has made slower progress, but the impression is, that something, and that something, a decided improvement on our present tariff laws, will now be agreed upon in conference committee and passed by both Houses before the end of the session on the 4th proximo. So varied and almost inter- minable, have been our Connecticut relations to the bill, that Senators Plait and Haw- ley have been kept on the alert and under a strain that would exhaust cast iron men. When their prodigious labors and incessant application to our state's interests become better known, they will have a still larger share of their constituents' admiration and gratitude. The only single thing in which they have not succeeded in maintaining a just protection to our Connecticut producers, we behave, was in the matter of building stone. They could not get the duty on sand stone up ashigh as they deemed essential to C The first, .fmilfi of Gen. prevent the Nova Scotia quarrymen from becoming active competitors with our Port- land and other red-sand stone men, although apretty strong duty is still maintained In the bill. _ The tariff discussion has had another Im- portant result and although a political effect, it is nevertheless most important, for it finally -. and forever commits the great party leaders of the democracy to the ruinous fallacy of free trade. The Record from day to day Is filled with these free trade utterances. Such democrats as Beck, Saulsbury,Morgan, Coke, Vance, Williams and others. Beck calls the mid bill "‘a bill of abominations,"and raisses the old cry that the south and the agricultural sections of the country are thus made to pay tribute to a few New England manufactur- ing nabobs. Poor Senator Bayard, who can- not expel the Presidential bee from his bon- net has posed before the country in his at- tempted, but impossible feat of carrying water on both shoulders. He would not for- sake the ancient free trade faith of his party and yet he would not lose the favor of the vast army of laboring men in his party, so he might just ,betermed a sort of “good Lord and good d—l” tariff man. 0n the other hand, Senator Dan Vorhees is an open and pronounced protectionist and breakstthc commandments most vigorously every time he undertakes to express his indignation at the suicidal folly of his party associates who continue tocommit the party to free trade and pauper wages. . General Hewley tried to have garden seeds on the free list, but failed. He succeeded in getting the straw hat braids, used . in Beatty Brothers' Norwalk hat factory, pro- perly adjusted in the Senate bill. On Thurs day he introduced several bills to amend the pension laws. 'rns sisnsmas TREATY. . In the Senate Thursday, Mr. Hoar remark- ed the community generally took a deep in- terest in the proposition now pending before the committee on foreign relations,'to give notice of our intention to terminate those portions of the treaty of Washington relat- ing to the fisheries, and asked Mr. Edmunds asthe acting chairman, whether that com- mittee expected to bring the matter to the attention of the Senate during the present session. Mr. Edmunds said that in the ab- sence of the chairman of the committee he thought it proper for him to say that this subject had engaged the earnest attention of the committee, and he believed they would be able to report before the end of this ses— sion. Speaking for himself alone he added that he was as much in earnest as anybody in Massachusetts or elsewhere could be to get rid of the enormous wrong now existing under these provisions of the treaty. ran wonxixo PEOPLE or new axosasn. The Senate committee on education and labor resumed its inquiries Thursday and examined Frank K. .Foster, of Cambridge, Mass. secretary of the Massachusetts Feder- ation of Trade and Labor Unions. The wit— ness made a general statement as to the con- dition of the laboring classes of New Eng- land in general and of Massachusetts in par- ticular. Speaking of the moral, intellectual and physical condition, he said the lines of “caste" were growing more and more clearly defined each year, and that in New England atleast the assumed worship of God has ceased to levelvall distinctions among men. The mill operatives of New England as a class are perhaps the worst off, and their present condition is sure to produce an en- feebled race of men and women in the next generation, as the same conditions have al- ready done in England. The working peo- ple of Massachusetts are better off than those of the other New England states on account of the enforcement of the ten hour law. The hours of work in Massachusetts arc sixty per week, while in the weaving district of England they are but fifty-six. The wages are about the same in each case. Since 1878 the average wages have increased 6 9.10 per cent., while the average cost of the necessities of life, including meats, breadstuffs, vegetables and dry goods has in- creased 21 2-10 per cent. Aaomriox or conranonr PILOTAGE. The bill reported Friday from the Senate committee on commerce to relieve ships and vessels from compulsory pilot fees is the measure introduced by Mr. Hale, amended so as to make its application universal within the waters of the United States. As report- ed from the committee it provides that “no owner, agent, master or consignee of any ship or vessel shall be compelled to take, employ, or pays pilot not voluntarily em- ployed on entering or departing from any port or harbor, or entering, passing through, or leaving any channel, passage or strait within the water of the United States.” sursnvrsrxo INSPECTOR. or sraamnoa'rs. The acting secretary of the treasury has approved the bonds of George H. Starbuck, as supervising inspector for the second dis- trict, New York. The new rules adopted by the board of supervising inspectors at their late meeting, have been engrossed, and will be presented to Secretary Folger for approval, as soon as the secretary returns from his home at Geneva. The secretary has recommended to Congress a measure of practical reform and of substantial benefit to the taxpayers. It is that a consolidation of customs districts shall be made in sections wh .the imports amount to very little. In this ay many useless officials, now drawing liberal salaries for merely nominal duties, can be dispensed with. There‘ are quite a number of collection districts in which the receipts amount only to a few dollars per year; yet they have been continued and maintained because these positions were use- ful to politicians. The statement of the secretary of the treasury is that certain of these districts can.bc merged into others, reducing expenses without impairing the service. - ., run noose avaxrua SESSION. The House at its Thursday evening session passed a large number of pension bills and bills granting condemned cannon for monu— mental purposes. Among these were a bill grantingapension of $20 a month to the widow of Major Hawk, late Representative from Illinois, and shill granting eight bronze cannon for the purpose of erecting a monu- .meat to General William H. Lyttlc, at Cin- cinnatl. A savanna AMENDMENT squasrsn. The Speaker has laid before the House a c'ommunication from the Acting Secretary of the Treasury, urging the necessity of such .- an amendment of the pending internal reve- pus bill as will provide that section 3,289 of the revised statutes be amended by adding €the following : n cka . beAfbgfzitbdmto tIIe United States, If such spirits shall be found to differ In proof from the proof indicated by the marks and Stamps _thereon, unless such differences shall be. or; I v casioncd by lapse of time, the conditions under which the spirits have been kept, or by other natural causes. The letter urges the necessity of- action in the matter by the present Congress. The experience of the Internal Revenue Bureau proves that the liquor distillcrs and dealers are not all Christians in their business rela- tions with the government. run Exrausrox or PATENTS. The House committee on patents has an- thorized Mr. Vance to prepare a bill so to amend section 4,887 of the revised statutes applicable to patents, so as to provide that an American patent shall run seventeen years from the date if a foreign patent, making all patents of whatever class, extend seven- teen years. The bill will not revive any American patent now dead or extend any living patent, buttapplies only to patents hereafter granted. It is a very much needed and meritorious bill, but it is doubtful if it can become a law at this session. Mr. Platt, from the Senate committee on patents, re- ported the House bill to amend the law in relation to the recovery of damages for the infringement of patents, and gave notice that when the Senate bill on the calendar should be taken up he, would move to sub- stitute it for the one now reported. causes. .

Sherman in honor of his sixty-third birthday at which, among others, Gen. Hawley responded to the toast“The Press." He sketched the great part taken by the press in the work of human advancement, especially in this country in forming the minds of the people and raising the standard of individual intelligence and morality. To the press remotely was due a part of the glory of Sherman's victories, for the men he led to triumph were men of intel- ligence, men of principle, who owed not a little of that moral and mental standing to the training given by the press. morons-s, _ At the Young Men's Christian Association Tuesday night Dr. Childs lectured on the “Antiquity of Man." He took the Biblical idea of the length of . time the human race has been on earth, willing to allow for the de- fects of chronology, but strenuously object- ing to the time imagined by scientific ethnol- ogists generally. He regarded the age of the earth and the time it was occupied by man as two different things, thinking there could be no objections to the belief t'hat the earth had existed for an indefinite period.

Washington lodge of Free Masons, of Alexandria, will anticipate their centennial anniversary, which occurs on the 25th inst., and will celebrate it on the 22d, Washington's birthday. The arrangements provide for a Masonic sermon at Christ church in the morning by the Rev. Wm. M. Dame, and at night a Masonic oration by Hon. Charles E. Stuart, with music by a Masonic choir and a banquet. A number of prominent Masons will be present. This is the lodge that has taken such a fraternal interest in St. John's lodge, and sent a gavel and other relics of Washington to their Norwalk brethren,nnd and we shall expect to see Brothers Golding and George Ward Selleck here at this Mason- ic banquet. Axornax noox. Mr. Blaine is to write a book, a sort of po- litical history of the events which occurred in the périod between 1861 and 1881. Such a book would be an interesting contribution to the literature of the country. Mr. Blaine was a prominent and potent factor in all the reconstruction legislation, and can write its history better perhaps than any living man. And this revives the yearning hope that the daily record of events kept by Mr. Lincoln's Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Welles, may soon be published and given to the public. MARSHALL JEWELL. , The announcement of the death. of Mar- shall Jewell, was received here this morning with universal expressionslof surprise and re- gret. It is but a few days since he was here at the Capitol, grasping the hands of his many friends in wontcd good health and bouyant spirits. He was intimately known to and beloved by large numbers of persons in Washington, and his sudden departure hence, is felt as a sad, personal bcrcavcmcnt._ Few public men have been so widely known and none more universally bcIOVcd. Peace to the ashes of another. dear, departed friend. Our Congressional delegation greatly desired to attend Mr. Jewell’s funeral, but pending Connecticut tariff interests make their pres- ence here imperative.

Rumor has it that the long expected “eruption" is about to take place in Massa- chusetts, in other words, there is to be a shaking up of dry bones. The first victim is the warden of the State Prison, and the new appointee is said to be Roland G Usher, a faithful follower and adherent to the General. The members of the “old 17th regiment.” will recognize in the name, the pay-master who disbursed to them the grecnbacks which they received on Folly Island, S. C. In the meantime the rumor also says much dis- content has arisen anong the Governor’s friends owing to the failure of the “wave- rider" to make good the many promises of “reform" made by the Governor during,lhc campaign. Now “reform,” according to the democratic dictionary, means “turning out Republicans and putting in .thc unteriificd," and the failure to make aclenn sweep arouses the ire of the average democrat and without waiting to learn as to the situation of affairs or as to the power of their Governors to make removals, they at once declare tiu‘m “no good." ' But they cannot hurry Governor Butler, and as for the democrats of Massa- chusetts, he cares as little for them as he does for the herring in Boston harbor, know- ing full well that without the aid of the in- dependent Republican vote he never would have been elected. He will take his time and you cannot hurry him. ,You can growl and snare at your Governor, Mr. Massachu- setts Democrats, but he is not to be fright.- ened ntyo‘cr yelping; 7w knowsbow to treat democrats, for he hung one named Mnlford, at New Orleans, several years ago.

LIARSIIALL J EWELL. “ Dene est qui ngt omnr’a. ” The death of Marshall Jewell has thrown atinge of sadness over the entire country and words of condolence and sorrow flock to the bereaved family from all the many parts of the United St Itcs From President Arthur, Senators and Representatives and officials of State and Nation, come loving and tender messages of sympathy for the afflicted family. Among our own people, “Governor" Jewell,thc title by which he was familiarly known to the citizensof Connecticut, will be' sincerely mourned. Known and beloved as Governor Jewell was, his sudden demise has startled all and brings to mind with pe- culiar force the uncertainty of life. Only a few days ago he was robust and hearty and as full of Ideas in his most youthful days. To- day he lies cold and still upon his bier and the whole world stoops to dohim honor. Mr. JeWell was born at» Winchester, N. 11., Oct. 24th, 1825 and was at the time of his death, 57 years old. In his early youth after leav- ing school, he worked in his father's tan- ncry, 'and remained so employed until at the age of 17 when he went to Boston and made himself a thorough master of the business of a curricr. After two years of that bus- iness he studied telegraphy and became an expert operator, and was made General Superintendent of the telegraphic line between Nashville and New Orleans. He re turned to Hartford in 1849 and the following year went into partnership with his father in the manufacture of belting. During the war of the rebellion, the steadfast loyaltyand gen- crous contributions of Mr. Jewell attracted the attention of the country. In the spring of 1806 he became the Republican candidate for State Senator from the Hartford district which was strongly democratic. He was defeated, but in the struggle, run 300 votes ahead of his ticket. In 1808 he was nomina- ted and elected Governor of ibis State, and so popular was his administration that for Early in 1873 when his Governorship expired he was appointed U. S. Minister to Russia by President Grant, but resigned in- 1874 to taken Cabinet position as Postmaster-Ger.- cral. "He resigned that office in 1876, his honesty in managing the affairs of the de- partment making him a shining mark for the hatred of certain influential corruptioniets. Upon his retirement from the Postmaster- Generalship, Mr. Jewell retired to private lifc’neithcr seeking nor accepting any fur- ther political honors, save. the Chairmanship of the Republican National Committee. in which position he indefatigably and persist- ently' labored for the welfare of his party. The result of his labors was seen in the fall of 1880. In the death of Marshall Jewell, we lose a firm and steadfast friend. He has been here at Norwalk at times and doubtless many remember him. The Republican party loses's most earnest and influential worker, while the whole country mourns over the loss of one of her most loved and loving sons Lost? _ Nay, the lost life was saved. lie is not dead Who in his record still the earth shall tread With God’s clear nurcole shining round his head The illness of Mr. Jewell was of but short duration, be having contracted a severe cold only one week before his death, in New York On Friday evening when it became appar~ cut that he could not live much longer a mes- sage was sent to his daughter, the wife of a son of Wm. E Dodge, of New York, and they, leaving the deathbed of their father there, hastened to close the eyes of their father in Hartford. A special train was chartered and ran through this place early Saturday morning. Sunday evening it re- turned bearing the doubly bereaved couple to the funeral of Mr. Dodge.

Accrtaiu painter who had rc~ ccntly done some work for a gentleman of that place, received a check for $85 in pay- ment of the work._ That evening the painter dropped into Mather’s store and had the check cashed there, quite a number of people who Were in the storc seeing the transaction. The painter, after making some purchases, started for home. During the evening his little boy seeing his father’s pocketbook filled with money and owning a pocketbook simi- lar in appearance, concluded he would be rich too, and cut up a number of pieces of brown paper to the rtquisite size and placed them in his pnckctbook. Upon retiring, this pocketbook was left on the mantel in the sitting‘ro'om while the father carried his to his bed room. During the night some one (evidently one who had seen the check cash- ed in the store) broke into the house for the evident purpose of getting the'money. ‘Bce- ing the pocketbook upon the sitting room mantel the burglar took it and decamped. Outside the house he opened the book, took out the supposed money and threw the pocketbook onto the stoop: When the fam— ily awoke in the morning they discovered their loss (f) and had a hearty laugh over the natural mistake of the thief.

' WILLIAM I) onaoornr. William D. Gregory, Esq, died at his home in Wilton on Sunday evening, after a long and exhausting illness. Mr. Gregory was well known throughout the county by rcitson of his long connection with the Coun- 'ty Agricultural Society, of which be was for several years its Secretary. In his own town Mr. Gregory was not. unknown or unlionored as his long service as Town Cleric and his- repeatcd presence in the Legislative councils of the State clearly shows. Mr. Gregory made no claims as an orator or a scholar, but his judgment was generally so sound and practical that it. convinced us much as eloquence. In his transaction of business, public or private, Mr. Gregory aimed at thoroughness. Mr. Gregory hows a wife who wasn‘daughtcr of the late Col. Middle- brook, and five children to mourn the loss of husband and father. SAMUEL L. CROCKER. The Hon. Samuel L Cracker, of ’f‘aunton, Mass., died in Boston, Saturday. _IIc was, President of the Taunton Locomotive-works, the Crocker Copper Manufacturing Company and the Old Colony Iron-works and a Direc- tor of the Bristol County National Bank. Mr. Crockcr was 78 years of age. Bis an- cestry dated from the Pilgrims. and be was a direct descendant of James Leonard who established the first iron foundry in this country. He served one term in Congress as a Whig and later became a Republican and served with distinction in'the State Legisla- ture and as Executive Cbuncilor. During the civil war he was active in raising troops and in furnishing supplies. He was one of the founders of the First Episcopal Church of Boston. Mr. Crocker was the father of Mrs. General D. N. Couch, who was with him at the time of his death. General Couch had left him shortly before with the hope that he might recover, but be rapidly sank and passed away. \VILLIAM E. DODGE. The sudden death of William E. Ddge, of New York, occurred on Friday morning last, from heart disease. In his death the entire Christian world suffers a severe loss. Ever foremost in generous acts, be justly can be proclaimed aphilanthropic gentleman and a consistent and earnest believer in the religion of Christ who‘ daily put his belief into praC- tice. We have not the space to devote to the proper sketch of this good and great man’s life, but can only briefly states few facts. Mr. Dodge was born in Hartford in 1805, being in the seventy-eighth year of his age at his death. At thirteen years of age he went to New York, where he has since resided, and for many years was of the firm of Phelps, Dodge 8:. Co. He was largely interested in various other business enterprises, and had been alargc holder of the stock of a great mapy railroad companies, in some of which he had been a director It. was one of his rules not to hold stock in any company that ran trains on Sunday, and he has sold good paying stock in companies just as soon as they decided to run their trains on the Sub- bath. He was a good business man, and knew how to get money; but he was a greater philanthropist and also knew how to do good with it among his fellow men. and financial institutions, and was one of the founders of the Mutual Life Insurance Com- pany, of which'he was a trustee at the time ston and the elder 'McCurdy. he did much to assist in making the success of this institu- tion in its earlier years. In politics, origi- nally a Whig, he was a thoroughgoing Re- publican. He was elected to the 39th Con- gress and served on the committee on Foreign Afiairs. But politics had no attraction for him. During the war, be united with other sons of Connecticut residing in New York, and formed a society whose object was to care for Connecticut soldiers who were pass- ing through that city, and their kindness is gratefully remembered by many a poor, sick soldier who was aided in getting home and by others whowcre assisted in a thousand other ways. In the early days of the rebel- lion, he was one of those loyal merchants of the great metropolis who so nobly went to the rescue of the President, and assisted in company with that syndicate, in raising large sums of money forthc Government. Not- withstanding the many public and private charities of Mr. Dodge, it is said that he leaves a fortune of over $6,000,000. Lock Your Doors. Burglars seem to be holding high carnival here in low 11, and it behooves house holders to see that their various doors are securely fastened every night. On Saturday evening the burglars broke into the house If John, Manes, in East Norwalk, and stole a rubber overcoat, a suit of clothes and a lot of silver ware. They then broke into L‘Homcdien’s house. This family have gone to Long 13-. land, and it cannot be ascertained what their loss amounted to. The burglars then entered Mr. Limberner’s house and from there went to Charles Fox's. They succee (led in get- ting Mr. Limberner's gold watch but during their visit, Mr. L. heard themnd seizing a loaded cane struck one of them on the head. Unfortunately the blow was not severe enough to disable the burglar and both es— caped. Later in the same night they at- tempted to enter Sturgcs Rmdail’s store, but did not succeed. The residents of that locality are greatly excited and if the burg- lars are caught it will go ill with them. m Last Wednesday morning about 4 o’clock, as Officer Ritch was patrolling Main Street, he heard a series of loud explosions on Wall Street and'thinking a gang of burglars was blowing up all the safes in town, be rushed to the scene. He found the occupants of the Chinese Laundry in front of their shop letting of large sized fire crackers. Upon being questioned as to the cause the almond eyed celestisls stated that they were celebra— ting their New Years, and to further con- vince the oficer, they invited him into their store where a bountiful repast was laid out, consisting of fruit, etc., and rice cooked in various styles. The officer was cordially invited to partake, but "smellingamouae" did not do so and after warning his tropical friends not to create any further disturbance left the place and resumed his weary beat. The Chinamen, by the way, kept open house all day and those who chose to call were sumptuously regaled. Accident In Stamford. By an explosion of the boiler at the Yale Lock Company’s Works yesterday morning, the engineer, Charles Searlce, was seriously scalded and the firemen badly injured. Mr. Searies had just been appointed engineer of the new steam fire engine. The boiler was defective and it is said Mr. Searics had pre- viously told the company of its dangerous condition. . The Horse Raierad employees sent a handsome floral pillow to adorn the coffin of , Mrs. Levinia, wife of Samuel Nowell, who ‘ died last Thursday. He was connected with numerous banks- of his death. In connection with Mr. Win- . Mr. Parsons Rejected. After several days of halting, Governor Waller finally mustered courage to send the name of Editor Parsons of the New Haven 1369M”. 10 the Senate for the office of In- surance Commissioner, on Thursday last, and on the following day the nomigption was up for confirmation. Probably' there want Fever in the history of this State such an, unpopular nomination, if we judge frorn the vote as shoWn by the record of the Senate, and certainly there was never a more bitter personal contest waged over any Gubernat— orial appointment. Mr. Parson's confirma- tion was voted for by fimr democrats Only, the other 7' democrats, voting with the 12 Republicans against it, one Republican be- ing absent. Mr. Thomas W. Williams of New London, was unanimously confirmed as Bank Commissioner, his name having been sent in by the Governor at the same time as Parsons. It is seldom that a candi- ‘datc meets with such solid opposition in his own party, and it seems unaccountable to who made Governor Waller the candi— date of his party should be thus ruthlessly and shamefully treated at the hands of his friends. In originating and carrying for- ward the “Wallcr boom,” no one has dared to dispute the fact that Parsons was solely and alone entitled to all credit—if there be any attached thereto. The “boomf’ was born in the Register office and William Parsons was acknowledged to be the father of it. ,But the older leaders in the demo- cratic party did not take kindly to the acts of Mr. Parsons, they having a desire to place in nomination Judge Luzon B. Morris of New Haven, and when the democratic con- vention met at Hartford, Messrs. Barnum, Burr, Eaton, and others of the old “back, numbers" were on hand to carry out their desires. Parsons had the start, and with a candidate behind him to furnish the brains it was an easy job for him to capture the convention, as he did. The second part in the drama has just been performed, and Parsons the victorious manipulator of last Fall’s convention, walks down and out of the State Capitol with four small democratic votes tied up in his handkerchief. Of course the old leaders of his party had nothing to do with this, Oh! no. . Editor. Troup of the Umbn, is now the “big injun," and as he struts along the cor- ridors and balls of the Capitol with the scalp of the would be insurance commissioner dangling from his belt. we can imagine al- most, that we hear him mutter, “big chief, down ’em all i" The Governor's future action in the mat- ter, is, of course, unknown, but he will un- doubtedly act cautiously and wisely. He did right in naming Parson s for the position, and'his failure of confirmation would not have occurred under ordinary circumstances. It may result in the holding over of the _present incumbent, Mr. Brooks, in which case the state would have the services of an honorable and competent ofilcer. m- “Put That. Down." It was the custom of Gov. Waller, when addressing a political gathering last full,whcn he desired to impress those present with any particular statement that he made, to turn to the newspaper men and request them to "put that down." To such an extent was this re- quest made during his speech in Middletown that it gave the same a look of “dizziness" when it appeared in print. It now comes our turn to ask the attention of our readers to the following statement of monies stolen by democratic oflicials, and to request Ihem, in the language of our worthy Governor, “to put that down 1" State of Missouri................... ...$200,000 State of Arkansas. ..... . ....... .. ...... 200,000 State of Tennessee. . . 400,000 State of Alabama.. . 250,000 City of Louisville........ ..... .. 200,000 Grand total.................. ”$1,250,000 Only one million two hundred and fifty thous- and dollars, not taken by “scallawag Repub- licans," but stolen within a few short weeks from the State and City Treasuries of five southern states by the "bourbon democrats,” those highly moral characters that go to make up that “great party,” which, in a few short and reform.” Paste this in your hat good reader, and when you have time, calculate the amounts that the democrats would steal out of the National Treasury, if they once got a crack at it, taking the above figures as a basis. m.- The Adina. Life. The film Life Insurance Company, of Hartfofd, having rounded off its thirty-third year of well-doing, refers, in its quiet, un- pretending way, to the sum total of Its beuii- iccnce since the date of organization. More figures coldly express the actual facts of its career. It is only by allowing the mind to dwoll on the numerals that one can grasp the magnitude of the ZEna’s work. In thirty- three years it has paid to policy-holders the immense sum of $49,160,191. What a text for a sermon on the art of doing good and making no fuss about itl A critical exami- nation of its latest statement shows the ex- treme care and conservatism of the Eua’e management. Its assets, January 1, 1883, amounted to $28,102,886. The securities in- cluded are set down at cost price, whereas their market value is $717,000 more than cost. Tire assets consist-mainly of cash, United States and other first—class bonds, and loans on existing policies at about a third of their face value. The secrets of the Etna's remarkable success may be briefly mentioned as follows: the severest scrutinyand ripest judgment in placing loans or investments, strict economy and achuntibility in the minutiae of all its business, and a quick and cheerful payment of claims on presentation. The JEtna's surplus rated at the New York standard is now $6,000,000 This is the sheet anchor as regards policy-holders. f‘ua company has always been fortunate in its officers. Those whose names are now linked to it are Morgan G. Bulkelcy, President; J. C. Webster, vice-President; J. L. Eng- lish, Secretary; H. W. St. John, Actuary and Gordon W. Russell, M.D., Consulting Physician.-—N. Y. Journal of Commerce. If any lady has pegiected to buy a seal cloak, she should now take the advantage of the opportunity offered by Messrs. W. B. Hall & 00., of Bridgeport. The Farmer ofc the 10th thus speaks of that house: The great bargain sale of W. B. Hall & Co continues with unabated success, and vis- itors to their store any that fresh attractions are added every day. The wide and enviable reputation of this house for silks, silk goods, choice dress goods of all kinds, good fittting cloaks and a complete collection of general, faneygoods at popular prices, combined with a wonderful succession of mini drives,com- . bines to make the present sales one of great intererest to all good and prudent managers. Everybody who wants to see what a dollar will do should visit W. B. Hall & Co. We desire to call attention to the card of Mr. 0. Eskclsen in another column. Having sold his property, corner of Wall and River streets, Mr. Eskelsen has moved to Liires' Block, on Water street, and is thoroughly prepared for all work in the boot and shoe line. Mr. E. has had seventeen year’s ex- perience in the boot and shoe business and justly considers himself competent to make or repair the finest shoes. A somewhat novel feature of Mr. Eskelsen's repairing is, that he uses a machine by which the finest or coarsest shoes or boots can be reacted, the leather being sewed instead of as is generally the case, pegged. Read his advertisement and givc him a call. A few flakes of snow having fallen upon the horse railroad track during Saturday night's storm, the cars were unable to run run regularly yesterday morning. A great many were obliged to walk up from South Norwnlk in the early morning, and some of thd remarks made, wort. anything but corn- plimcntary to the company. It seems to us that this road might well pattern after the Weatport road where, though with a much more exposed track, we are informed the cars have not missed a trip this winter. . \ those not behind the curtain, that the man ' months will “pose" as the party of “honesty ‘ relieve presen stomach and digestin- G.

The Its-construction of Putnam Hose house bulging front wall has commenced. Bogardus and Smith of the City council are looking after it. ‘ Mr. Francis Burritt’e bill for a publ'c act rclaiing to the protection of rail, (not quail, as a city paper has it) introduced the other day by Senator Baker, is likely to become law. ' Mr. F. W. Schulte of the town of Grossenhnlthaur in Westphalia, Prussia, a brother of the murdered Schulte, asks the Legislature for power to sell real estate near Roton Hill, valued at $2,000. The murder took place on this property. It is said, since two scholars from West- port carried off the honors in certain classes, at the Union School a system of what may be called slight-of—hand record marking has been practiced in favor of city pupils, and against those coming from out of town,the object being to advance home talent whether it be deserving or not. Mrs. (P) Mag. Bropby, who has been in Bridgeport jail times enough during the past 15 years to claim part of the institution as her own, was on the way thence Tuesday, conducted by Chief Lockwood. 'At the dc- pot here the ofiicial left. the lady in the wait- ing room white he went outside to preserve the peace, strengthen the license law, or help swell the revenue from tobacco.

He is short, thick set, voiuble, very p'easant in speech, has taking ways, and often displays a big roll of bills. The return to this route of the Washing- ton exprcss,_ while it helps New York theatre goers from here to get home the same night, keeps awake those who went to bed in good season.

The manufaciure of American carpets challenges rivalry, not merely in those simp- ler and less expensive carpetings that have been chiefly in demand in this country. but With all the finer products of the foreign looms. . The American manufacturers have carried their products to so high a degree of perfec- tion that they are willing to placethem in open competition and comparison with the best imported goods. This is especially true of Messrs John dz James Dobson, No’s 40 & 42 West 14th street, New York, the leading carpet manufacturers of United States. Their house in that city where the products of their looms are placed on sale is visited by throngs of buyers and the inquisitive stranger, who is interested in the progress of American manufactures as well. The spacious floors stretching from street to street have a certain grandeur of prospec- tive; the fabrics here displayed would need to be of a rich and substantal quality to halls. ' That they stand this test as wall as the test of comparison with‘ the richest work of foreign looms the visitor will readily admit. Let him compare the Axminsters Mo- qucttcs, Wiltons. Brussels and Tapestries with the Foreign Carpets of the same kinds. In the quality of the material the thorough. ness of the texture. the beauty and richness of the dyes and the artistic character of the designs, he will find the American carpets superior to all others. ___+-— A CARD. - At a special meeting of Puomix Exams: COMPANY, No. 1. field in their rooms Feb. 6, 1888, a committee ,was appointed to draft resolutions on the death of their late Brother member.

A Great Financial Institution. The annual statement of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance company of this city is published this morning, and gives in detail the figures of the year’s business. The com- pany is altogether the largest moneyed institu- tion in the stutc,and, if we are not mistaken, in New England. Its gross assets reach the vast sum of $51,692,422. Its income last year was over $7,759,000. It is to-day in- suring 08,602 persons. During the past your its net assets have increased $1,394,372, and its net surplus has, by» its own standard, in- creased 8319,826, This surplus, according to the Connecticut standard, amounts 165153,- 724,844 21 ; according to the company's standard it is $3,707,398.21. The long and successful career of thc'Connecticut Mutual, its immense accumulations, and the conserv- ative policy of its managers place it among the foremost and soundest insuraucc' com- panies of the country.
