Attention Bur-gasses!
The old GAZETTE has, ever since their organ-
ization, been the unqualified friend of the
UOMMUN ICATED.
Mussns Em'rons :—My attention has been
called to an,article in your last issue, headed
“The Parallel,”iin which you'say “In reply
to our inquiry.“ to whether this resolute and
commepdablejgiurpose to immediately build
the Hartford ”Harlem railroad‘é—two hues,
would not werk injury and injustice to the

' province Tillie Chief'of the Department. We
refer tofithe condition and state of our fire de-
partmeutiii the mgtter of hose. It has long
been a wellyknowu fact that the Borough
companies have oftenfbeen crippled in some
of their most earnest eflorts by the scarcity of
mod hose‘With'Which to work at a fire. Last
Fall the Buig'estits :became aware of an
lmmediate'ueeessity‘fOr "more hese'and with
commendsblmpromptness ordered 500 feet
of the best,-,;;For this they are of course eu-
titled to the,,thanks_ of the public, but they
stopped beforeztheir «duty was done. Our
department at present is owner of 2,050 feet
of hose. or 'this‘,’500 iii new and in good
_condition,'1,850 feet is old and in various
stages of decompmition, while the remaining
200 feet is hoisted and otherw'isé damaged so
as to render it almost useless in any emer-
gency. ,The'averagcflife‘of hose, or the time
that it will last, is eight years, and then it
rots and bursts and becomes unlit for service.
Of the 1,350‘feet ‘above spoken of, half is
ten or eleven years =on, whilethe remaining
half is about eight. ~Under=high pressure or
without the-careful-handling which it now 're- .
ceives, we venturevto say that fully eighty-
per cent. of this would burst-,audbe rendered
useless, while: th ‘ quality of the remaining
twenty per cent; ism doubt. So, that, virtu-
ally, on?“ ugh, and, the .property therein
contained,E id under the protection of fie:
hundredfeotqfilme.‘ -...-. 5. =3 f e‘ - '.
On this fact. we :make no-co‘mment, leaving
it to the good scnscofqthe‘Burg'esses to rem-
edy this state of aflairs, and yet we may per-
tineutly ask: “Is it notridiculous to'expect
our fire department to successfully cope with
a fire of any size unless‘they are given the
proper materialsfiiith which‘to work i” At
a public testes Thanksgiving" day, although
not more than half the ordinary pressure was
allowed, four lengths! 'of ‘hose were bursted;
at the‘recent‘ flieon fChapel street, when Mr.
Shea’s grocery was burned, another length
was bursted and=‘:cousiderable delay was
caused, .while on Saturday night week. at the
Barnes' fire'still another length was bursted.
These incidgnts. show. about what'depeudence ‘
can be placed upon the stock in- hand, and
develop the, necessity for more new hose, for
with greater force turned on, instead of one
length. more likely ten would burst. It is
not fair to the firemen, whose gratuitous ser,‘
vices are mostly thankless, it isnot safe for
the public whose faithful custodians the fire:
men are, nor is it politic for the Borough 001-.
ceratoletthis-inatter be further neglected.
The Chief of the Department has already, in
his report, called attention to the needsof the
companies. Let his suggestions and those of
property owners be adopted. Economy is
write, bht’ economy misdirected is worse than
foolish—it is criminal. _ .
. ' Sensible. ‘
We notice the town of Stamford has issued
its tabulated statementpf towniaccounts, in
the only way it can be sensibly published to
the public, and that:is:in its newspapers. T0-
at once and forever condemn the folly of the
mode of publishing these annual accounts in
pamphlet form, as has been done here in
Norwalk for several years past, it is only
necessary to go and see the piles of them in
the keeping of our friend Selleck, which no
one has ever called for;or cared to look at.
This is a lazy, practical sort of a world and if
it is of any advantage whatever to let the tax-
payers see where and ‘how their money is
expended by the selectmen, 'then these
accounts should be published in the reputable
newspapers of the town and not be practic-
ally- concealed from the public eye, by the
present mode of issuing them in pamphlets.
If they cannot be published in the columns
of its live newspapers and a fair rate paid
therefor, let the town save all its money on
this class of expenditure for the future. It is
a foolish and wicked waste of money to con-
tinue our present system and let there be an
end of it.

In Memoriam.
Died, in-Scuth Norwalk, Saturday, March.
31, Margaret A., wife of J limes D. Nash, in
the 87th year of her age. The deceased had
been married about 13 years. She had grown
up under the auspices of thejn. E. Church,
and was an earnest and exemplary teacher in
its Sunday School. There, during; many
years, as well asin family andsocial circles,
were developed and exhibited those traits
which bespeak true loveliness in woman.
Her illness was of short duration, and though
it was acute,‘ her hope of ultimately recover-
ing from it was strong. When informed of
the terrible truth that death was near she ex-
claimed with characteristic firmness, “I am
ready,” and while family and friends wept
as they lingered by her bedside, she_ Welcom-
ed with: a 'smile the messenger which had
cometo. bear herspirit hence, passing away
peacefully, like one falling on sleep. The
funeral .-will take .place from her late resi-
dence on Bay View avenue, this afternoon,
and the burial in Union-Cemetery.
m ‘
I. H. Lockwood of Danbury, was'before
U. S. Commissioner Asa. B. Woodward on
Wednesday to answer the charge at using
the United States mail for fraudulent pur-
poses. Lockwood inserted an advertisement
in the Springfield Republican of March 13th
for a partner, and upon receipt of an answer
would ask for-$1,000 in cash. Col. Tweedy,
P. M. of Danbury and H. Frank Harris his
clerk, appeared and gave testimony as to
who rented box 322. Mr. Harris testified to
seeing Lockwood deposit letters in the letter
box, and producedxa money order made out
by Lockwood, also a receipt for one paid
him. W. B. Coombslof Greenfield, Mass. ;
Edward Louergan fi-‘offlRockville, Conu.;
Henry H. Root, of Montague, Mass. ; F.
. W. Patten of Stafford, Springs, Conn. aad
Chas. W. Brown of Holyoke,Mass., appeared
and gave testimony as to answering adver-
tisement and receiving a reply from Lock-
wood. In each case the letters were produced
and all called for the $1,000 in cash before
the position could be;iilled. Lockwood took
the stand and said the advertisement was not
what .it appeared to be; he was connected
with New’York parties who desired to do
business amounting to- a half million dollars
and he wanted the $18,000 as a lever to work
upon. Under the skillful cross-examination
of Mr. Hart, the Government Attorney,
Lockwood was traced from Massachusetts to
Washington, New York, Norwalk and Dan-'
bury, and his record);appeared to be rather
bad. His attorneys Messrs. Giddings and
O’Hara of Bridgeport,did all they could to get
the prisoner |released, but Commissioner
Woodward boundlhimjlover under $400 to-
appear at the next term of thelU. S. District
Court, Hartford,May 22d.

The Misses Teasdale’s dancing school held
a grand reception at Raymond’s Hall, New
Canaan, last Wednesday night. Quite a
’ number of Norwalk parties attended and all
report a good time. .
In the house last Tuesday the judiciary
committee reported adversely on the bill pro-‘
viding that telegraph companies in certain
towns be compelled to keep open all night.
and the bill was rejected. Too bad:
The directors of the Danbury and Norwalk
railroad at South Norwalk last Tuesday, de-
clared a semiannual dividend at 2; per cent.
payable ‘on April 20. The transfer books will ,
be closed from April 10 to April 21. g
In the Senate on Wednesday, the quarter. 5
master-general was authorized to erect mess I
and cook rooms for the use of the National
Guard at Niantic camp ground. The sum of ‘
34,000 was appropriated for .the purpose. '
The sum of $2.500 was also appropriated for
grading and putting :in order :the camp

that interest from loss—that his company did
not think that the Olmstend organization had
Harlem was out of the way; that the latter
company had waited all last your forum
“Olmstead” parties to commence operations,
but today they were no nearer the accom-
plishment of this alleged purpose than they
were a dozen years ’ago. . Itis quite probable
that the :Olmstead interest-have their Views
on this subject, and if so our columns are
freely open to their'expression." ' . .
The “Olmstead Parallel” has viewson this
matter based on certain facts and opinions
inferred from thosc'facts. " Every .c1tizen of
Connecticut knows that until certain amend-
ments were made to the General Railroad
Law in April of last year, which became
effective on the first day of May, 1882, it
Was impossible to build a railroad under that
law without special action on‘the part of our
General Assembly. Before that time we
had been three times to the Legislature—-
twice for a charter'before the enactment of
the Railroad Law and once since the enact-
ment of that law, for the-privilege of bridg-
ing the Housatouic river. In each ._the
Legislature refused to grant our application.
Isthisauy-fault imputabie to :us for these
failures? We fully believed when‘thc Legis-
lature refused our application to bridge the
'Housatonic, and believe now, that if wehad
been successfulsin our application the road
would have been, builtatthat time. . .
As soon as'thc" Legislature adjourned last
year, when we found a road could be built,
wegimmediately'COmmenced perfecting our
organization and securing capital 'to build the
road, all of which was accomplished before
November 1, andwe should then at once
our layout unless for the factthat one person
interested in our euterpris was. taken sick
with the typhoid fever an confined to his
home for seven or.ei‘ght months, Immediately
upon his recovery the application was made.
Unless for that unfortunate Occurrence our
application wuuld‘have been‘made and prob-
ably our layout accepted by thelCommissiou-
ersbeforsauythiug had been heard of the
Hartford & Harlem, who filed their papers
in the ofi‘loeof- the Secretary of State on the
30th day of December, 1882. ,
Now,‘until the papers-of'the Hartford &
Harlem were so filed on the 30th of Decem-
her, no one connected with the. Olmstead
Parallel had ever heard of the enterprise or
them or those connected with it. After-
wards iu the month of; January, at least
three of the leading persons connected with
the Hartford & Harlem sent to the “Olm-
stead Parallel’? requesting an interview and
at that interview coolly proposed that we
should sell out to them. We informed them
that our organization was not for sale. That
:we had originally gone into the matter to
build a railroad from New Haven to New
York and that ‘we still continued in that
mind, afh‘d that we had sufficient capital back
of us to build the road and that we'should
build it'if permitted by law and authority to
do so. {We believe that our organization .is
perfectly legal under the. law, and from the
developments of the past few days of hear—
ings of the Hartford & Harlem before the
Railroad Committee and the Courts, we
think that company has no claim to a legal
lect, Mr. Editor, that the Hartford & Harlem
to show their good faith when filing their.
organization papers proclaimed with a great
flourish of trumpets that the General Rail-
road Law was good enough for them to
, build aroad under, that its provisions were
amply sufiicient to enable any company, Who
in good faith anti-honestly intended to build
a railroad, to accomplish their purpose and
that they did not intend to apply for any
special legislation. That the General Railroad
Law will accomplish all this we cheerfully
admit.
ed than this organization (H. d; H.) protest-
ing that they are all more honest than their
for nearly three months they have been per-
sistent beggars and supplicants for a “few
crumbs to be dealt out to them. ' ‘
We know we are acting in good faith; we
doubt the good faith or the Hartford & Har-
lem. Their whole conduct shows something
concealed and covered up.
There is enough capital back of our enter-
prise to build the road three times over and
the Hartford & Harlem know it,.and it is for
that reason that they are opposing us, and if
they will but remove themselves from the
way, in less than two months we will have
all along the line hundreds of men working
on our layout. And now, sir, is it fair? Is
it r‘lght? Is it honest? That the veteran
Olmstead Parallel, as you call it, after spend-
ing so much of time, so much of money,
and working so "earnestly and and assiduous-
ly after the law had been amended so as to
enable them to build a road, is to be pushed
aside by an organization composed .of men
principally non-residents and' so far as up-
resident subscribers.
It is true we are veteran, but all along
these years that we have been becoming vet-
eran we have had one purpose and but one
in view, and that is to build the railroad.
We say to our oppoueu'ts, gather up your
traps and move out of the way and we will
build the road. S. E. OLMS'I‘EAD,

What has repeatedly been affirmed in these
columns relative to the stability of the Dan-

'been supported by the market in which its
securities. have been offered. ~It , is a road

being 2,L per cent. on the earnings of the past
half year. This is better than many com-

The play of East Lynne will be produced
at the Opera House next Monday evening by
Miss Ada Gray supported by an extra strong
company. Of Miss Gray the Cineiunatti
Commercial says:
“Miss Gray has a grand voice and superb
physique, and her costumes are particularly
elegant. She made a picture long to be re-
membered as she parted the crimson curtains
at the back of-the stage and stood before the
company of roistering young cavaliers, a
triumphant revengeful woman, calculated to
stay long in the memories of those who saw
her. For a portrayal of malignant, relentless
hatred. as given in her scene with the Duke
when Gennaro is momentarily expected, we
have never seen her supassedi" .
Roller Skating Rink.
To.night at the Opera House (weather
permitting) we expect to see a crowd. The
event will be the grand re-opening of the
Roller Skating Rink accompanied by a grand
illumination and seciable. An elegant new
floor has just been laid for the accomodation
of patrons and a goodvbaud will furnish
music. , Taken altogether the affair promises
to be the great event of the season. '
Fast Steamboat.
We are again assured that Commodore
Perkins will have anew steamboat on his old
Norwalk route as soon: as the pleasant
weather of spring opens, which will run like
arace horse and eclipse anything the iron
transit. between Norwalk and I New York.
The more the merrier—so hurry up your fast
boat, Commodore. What, :with two steam-
boats and two new parallel railroads, Nor-
walk ought to be reasonably satisfied with its
traveling facilities.
