Democrats in Council.
A grand pow-wow of democratic leaders
. was held inflhicagoh‘ridsy night ostensibly
to “celebrate" the birthday of Jefferson, but
with a shy sqlilnung towards, the selection of
. their assimilation candidate. Our Own
Mr. Eaton and Mr. Barnum were conspicu-
0113.1)! their absence, nevertheless a lovc
fwwuhad with the nominating mantle
rollingou‘isoy’ara; " Covers were laid for 360
Bufill'an'd‘every seat was occupied. The:
301"! Buck'snridge of Kentucky sat visa-via
. with the calm andplacid Bayard of Dela-:
"ware; Hurlbutt of the New York World.
exchanged small talk between mouthfuls with
congressman-i Sprliiger. E. 1'. 'Wheeler of
, the New York free trade league divided his
methods retirees cx-Go'vernors Palmer of
Illinois and Broadband of Missouri. Letters
of regret were read from McDOnald,_Thar-'_
man, PendletOn, " Carlislc, Lamar, Hard,
Hewitt, Jere Black, General McClellan and
' RandolphTucker.‘ Among the guests were
Congressmen Ferran,Spsrks and Townshcnd.
The ban'q‘l'iet'commencéd at 39701001‘ and it
was well on to midhight when‘th'c cloth was
removed and spee§h4makmg 'was in order.
Senator Bayard, who, was first called upon to
respond to the toast, “Our Country,” was
enthusiastically greeted. The cheering be:
came uprooaouu when several voices shouted
together, “Our next President.” In his re-
sponse he charged that the Republican party
hadbetrayed the trust of the people, and
spoke ’with unusual vehemence on the
growth of monopolies as a menace to the re-
public.
A Strong Ticket.
Maj. Ben. Perley Poore, in horroscoplng
the political horizon, mentions among others
named for the next Presidential ticket, the
following powerful combination:
United States Senator and Gen. Joseph R'
Hawley of Connecticut is mentioned by those
who think that the next Republican candl-
date for President should be some soldier.
He was brave and humane in the field, he is
all experienced organizer and director, and
he would make an excellent chief magistrate.
Robert T. Lincoln, of Illinois, is the choice
of that class of Republicans who live on the
hope that by some political convulsion they
are to receive the alliance of half of the whites
and all of the blacks at the South. Mr. Lin-
coin is a most estimable gentleman, who has
displayed great modesty and much executive
ability since he has been Secretary of War.
It would bepoetical, too, to elect him for a
term after his father had been prevented, by
the assassin, from serving out his eight years.
a:
Pneumonia.
Reports from every source of information
upon the subject continue to show the un-
usual prevalence of pneumonia, that has
marked the records of the past season. The
death of the venerable Peter Cooper from
this malady readily brings to mind other well
known names among its most recent victims
such as ex-Governor Marshall Jewell, Post-
master General Timothy 0. Howe; the vet-
erac journalist George Dawson, of the Albany
Times ; Dr George M. Beard and five days .
later his wife; Dr. Lafayette Banney; Cash-
ier Parker of the Phuinix National Bank ;
Jerome Leland, .of the Sturtevant house; John
Staple Sherman, grandson Of Roger Sherman;
Judge Lawrence B. Harrigan of Tennessee ;
Clarence K. Cressy, a son of Brevet Commo-
dore Cressy, of the UnitedStates Navy. and
William V.- Balts, the actor; and later George
R. Cholwell of our; own town ; and on
Thursday last, Mrs. Francis A. Rockwell of
Ridgefield. .

Rev. Dr. Mead’s Sermons.
We are indebted to Miss Mead for a most
highly prized copy of her father’s sermons,
and a short memoir of his life prepared
with all the tenderness and fidelity of ardent
filial affection. The volume comprises, in
addition to an introduction by Bishop Wil-
lisms and the memoir already referred to—
over thirty of his choicest discourses preacluad
to his people here at St. Paul's. It has a fine
ariotype vignette of the eloquent and saintly
Doctor, and the first sermon in the attractive
volume was the last one :writtcn by him and
preached Only four days prior: to_his death,
It is issued under the direction of his daugh-
ter and dedicated by her as “an offering to
the church he served and the pcople‘among
whom he labored.”
Fairfieid County Medical Society
This society held its semi-annual meeting
on Tuesday at South Norwalk. There was
a large attendance and the proceedings were
of special interest to ,the medical :profession.
The officers elected for the ensuing year
were: President, Dr. Porter, of-Bridgcport ;
vice-president. Dr. Hill of Stephney; secre-
tary, Dr. Berry of South Norwalk ; Drs.
Gregory, Lockaod, Delamater, Lewis and
Cummings, were chosen delegates to the state
medical convention.

Light Wanted.
We had a beautiful illustration last week
of the Borough’s system of contracting with
the Gas Company for street lights, only when
the almanac announces no'moon. The street
lamps should be lighted when it is dark,
without reference to any astronomical rec-
ords, and it is simply outrageous to have our
Borough shrouded in such dense darkness as
last Wednesday and Thursday evenings.

South N orwalk Bridge.
The new bridge committee have closed
contracts with S. A. HtimmOnd of Provi-
deuce, B. 1., for the piling and mason work,

Company of East Berlin, Conn., for all the
iron work for 89,650. The work Of con-
structing this new town bridge is to be im—
mediately commenced and it is asserted that
the city will make it and square with Wash-
ington street.

A Court Victory for the Olmstead
. Parallel.
At New Haven, last Friday, Judge Sidney
B. Beardsley in the civil side of the Superior
Court rendered a decision, in the suits
against the New York, Connecticut and Air
Line Railroad company, more commonly
called the Olmstcad Parallel. There were
three of these suits—tho Hartford do Harlem
injunction, the Isbcll injunction and the Cole
guo warranto. They had the one purpose to
destroy the corporate existence of thc Olm-
stead Parallel in order that the field might be
'left clear for the rival, the Hartford d5 Har-
lem. The grounds on which the suits rested
were practically identical, consisting of some
forty allegations that the .Olmstead had no
valid existence owing to' defects in its organ-
ization. As to the other alleged. defects
Judge Beardsley decided that none of them
were so serious as to justify the demand for
ruling the company to be a defunct and illc—
gal corporation. In regard to the defects of
location he said this was a matter for the
Railroad Commissioners and not the Court to
pass upon. He therefore granted the motion
to dissolve the two temporary injunctions
restraining the road from proceeding further
with'its plans and disinissed the quo war-
ranto. Judge Beardsley's decision, while a
court victory for the Old Parallel, need be
no set back to the Hartford&.Harlem. After
the decision a representative of the Old
Parallel, said: “Our next step is to secure
from the Railroad Commissioners anapproval
of our layout, This has. been delayed on
enchant of the pending suits, bat the hear-
ing will be resumed when the Commissioners
meet in Hartford on the 24th. We shall
bring before them first the Greenwich section
of the line, and when this is approved will
probably commence the work of construction
right away.” Prof. S. E. Baldwin, counsel
for the Hartford on Harlem, gave notice of
an appeal to the Supreme Court, and Judge
Beardsley directed one of the» counsel to
prepare a written~finding of the facts upon
which to base it, but the managers of the
Old Parallel say they have no fear that the
decision Of the Supreme Court will be ad-
verse to them, while the Hartford a Harlem
say that whatever may be the action of the
Courts or Legislature they shall at once com?
mence the construction of their road under
the ample provisions of our General Railroad
law. “You pays your money and takes
your choice.” .
A despatch from New Haven says that va-
rious obstacles have conspired to prevent the
building of the branch‘railroad from the
New York, New Haven 85 Hartford road to
Savin Rock, at West Haven, in time for the
summer travel this season, as was anticipated
last fall. Work will, however, be begun,
and the road will probably be completed by
the lastof‘ August or the early part of Sep-
tember. The estimated cost of the road,
which will be nearly threc‘miles in length, is
$50,000. . _
The operation of constructing additional
' ’tracks between Stamford‘ and New Rochelle,
lowering grades and straightening the line.
will be entered upon by the Consolidated
road in two or three Weeks. Nine-tenths of
the land has been secured, and the acquisi-
tion of the remainder by purchase or con-
demnation proceedings in the courts will be
completed in a few days. No contracts for
the work of construction will be awarded
until the entire right of way has been secur-
cd. _ ‘
W'
White’s Line to he sold.
Sunday’s New York Times says that the
steam-boats Columbia, Grand- Republic,
Americas, City of Norwalk, Adelphi, and
P. F. Brady. constituting the fleet of the Col-
umbia Steam Navigation Company, but better
known as the R. Cornell White boats, run-
ning between this City and Rocknway Bosch
and Norwalk, Conn., are advertised to be
sold On the 28th inst. under foreclosure of a
mortgage. The Columbia Steam Navigation
Company. of which Mr. [White is President,
in August, 1878. to raise money, chiefly for
the completion Of the Grand Republic, issued
200 bonds of $1,000 each, and secured them
by a mortgage on the boats of the Company
executed to John Englis, Jr., and John E
Hoffmirc, as trustees. The bonds were for
20 years, bearing interest at 7 per ccut., pay-
able semi annually. The mortgage provided
that in case of default in the payment of the
interest, the principal should, at the option of
the Trustees, immediately become due, and
the aim-boats should be given into their
possession. The interest due on Aug. 1,
1882, was not paid and on Oct. 31, following,
the company notified the trustees in writing
that it was unable to pay the interest, where-
upon the trustees took possession of the boats.
The season was abad one last year, and be-
sides thc unpaid interest the company had
failed to pay $25,000 of its current expenses.
Since Oct. 31 the company has incurred a debt
of over $13,000 to John Englis & Son, ship-
buildcrs, of Brooklyn, Eastern district, and
various smaller debts, to secure which the
Directors, at a meeting held on the 11th inst.,
resolved to execute a second mortgage to
John E. Hoffmire, of this City. Mr. R.
Cornell White is said to be endeavoring to
form a. syndicate to buy in the boats, and
there are indications that a movement is on
foot to form another combination for the
same purpose. Mr. Hoffuiire said yesterday
that in any event the boats would be kept
running this summer to Rockawuy, They
were built for that line, and cannot be profi-
tably used anywhere else.
Burglurs at Work.
_ In Ssugatuck about 3 o'clock Monday
morning burglars entered Mr. Gershom B.
Bradley's house by prying open a window at
the north side Of his dining room. Every
member of the family occupied rooms on the
second floor, and being sound asleep knew
nothing of the depredations until on coming
down stairs in the morning, a scene of con-
fusion in halls, parlors and sitting rooms
furnished evidence that the‘ house had been
visited during the night. Mrs. Bradley in-
stinctively went first to a small box in the
form of a trunk in which she kept her silver
and soon discovered the absence of two sets
of tea spoons, two solid napkin rings and
other articles all inscribed with her name
and some of their wedding gifts. Also one
silver spoon, belonging to her son, Gershom
Bradley, Jr., and which had been in his
father's family four generations. From a
valisc which they carried into the open air and
found lying on the ground, the thieves took
a tin~box containing about seven dollars and
valuable papers belonging to the estate of
the late Captain Frederick Sherwood, of
Which Mr. B.,is administrator;' also tcn
cchts belonging to Mr, B. The operations
must have been conducted by match light, as
the carpet everywhere, was strewn .with
mlltches partly burned. In the hallway up
stairs a lamp was burning all night and by
itsfaid' the rascals went into the room of
Meister William Bradley, carried his clothing
down to the dining room and left it there.
Md Bradley's gold watch liung'on a post in‘
his; bed room, his overcoat in the hull, and a
fine lap robe near by, but these articles were
unmolcstod- The thieves departed, leaving
the window through which they had entered
oplin. ‘

OBITUARY.
GEORGE E. CHOLWELL.
' As had been so greatly feared by all his
friends, Mr. Cholwell succumbed. to the}
dread disease Mountain, and pen&inlly or:
tered into real on Tuesday morning last.
Mr. 0. came to Norwnlk some thirty odd
years ago, having married the cldest‘daugh-j
ter of the late Wm. Jarvis Street. In 1860-61‘
he was elected Warden of our Borough. He
was at another time, we believe, President of
the Fairficld County Agricultural Society.
He used to bc exceedingly public spirited
and active in all our lccal affairs and never
lost his deep love for and interest in Norwalk,
But it was at his home and in thc closer rela-
tions of his family life that our friend's gen-
ial nature and great loving hcurt'was most
conspicuous. Said an attendant at his fun~
cral to us: .“With him, every- member of
his family. was a special pet.”. His pastor in
the funeral service most aptly described his
sunny nature and pathetically expressed his
wealth of love for his dear ones, in the inci-
dent of his having pointed his . finger- to the
motto above his coach: “God Bless Our
Home," after he hadlost the power of speech.
He was formerly a merchant in Maiden Lane,
New York; .- nos some time past he has been
Clerk for the Board of Underwriters iii-that
city. This Board is composed of a Director
ies of the metropolis, and the regard in which
our friend was held by them was evidenced
.by their many and costlyflorai offerings, by
their large attendan‘ceat his funeral and the
appended resolutions. The last trip up from"
New York he made, before being seized with
his fatal malady, he sent us a humorous card
with his kindly remembrances, prompted by
his own full consciousness of the 1 pleasure
the comical illustration would afford as. Said
a youthful fellow traveler with him on the
trains up and down from New York: “He
was the youngest and happiest old man I
ever knew. ” And so indeed he was. He
was sunny and joyous in disposition and: as
free from guile in his heart as a child. Peace
to his ashes and God’s comforting grace to
his stricken'family. .

Painfully surprising 'to the members of the
“old 17th Regiment,” will be the death of
Drum-Major Thomas Hearn, who was one of
the first to enlist in Co. F, the “Lockwood
Guards.” He was living in Winnipaak, at
that time, where he marfied his first wife, a
daughter of Mr. Moale. Having previously
served a term in the regular army as a musi-
cian he was appointed to that position upon'
enlisting in Co. F, and soon after entering,
camp at Bridgeport he was promoted by
Col. Noble to be Drum-Major of the Regi-
ment and held that position till the close of
the war. He was of this personal apperance‘
--tall, erect and well proportioned; and
being a thorough musician he soon hada
corps of drummers and filers that attracted
attention by their :proficiency. He was a
genial warm hearted man, and the quiet, un-
assuming manner in which he performed his
duties gained for him the csteeui of his
comrades. He died in chuonnock, in this
State, On the 315i, of March, and was burricd
in Wilmington Del. Two brothers also
served in the 17th. J limes Hearn, Co. I, who
died at Brooks Station, Va., and John [Team
who was also a musician in Co. F. '
Last Tuesday, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen
Comstock WCl:C called upon to mourn the
loss of-thcir infant son Stephen A., who
died of scarlet fever. The little boy, who
was bill sixteen months old, was attacked by
the dread disease the latter part of March,
and though the best of care and nursing and
the wealth 'Of loving hearts were expended
on him, the little fellow slowly sunk and on
last Tuesday breathed his, last. ,Mr. and
Mrs. Comstock are so widely and favorably
known we are sure they will receive un-
bounded sympathy in their great affliction
and it may he that God in his infinite mercy
in transplanting this little rosebud from
earth to His heavenly garden, muyliavc in
store some great rccompcusillg blessing to
case and cheer their bleeding hearts.
MRS. F. A. ROCKWELL.
Mrs. Mary Rockwell, mother of Charles L.,
William F. and George Rockwell, of Meri-
dcn, died at her home in Ridgcfield, on
Thursday, of pneumonia, aged 76. She was
a most estimable lady, revered and beloved
by all who knew her, and never was illegali-
cient mother of classic story more proud
when pointing to her children as her jcwcls,
than was this faithful, devotetmuving moth-
er of the noble boys she had reared to bless
the world by their pure, upright lives. She,
has all tee soon followed thehusband, whose
rccent'dcath had made her once bright and
happy home so desolate.
MRS . ANN RAYMOND.
The remains of widow Charles, Raymond
were brought from Brooklynand interred in
Pine Island Cemetery, Tuesday afternoon.
The funeral was held at the residence of her
sons, Samuel and George Raymond, city.
She died at the residence of her somin-law,
J. J. Vail,E.=.q., in Brooklyn, on Sunday. Her
mother, Mrs. Clarissa Raymond. now in her
1013t year, and a sister, (Mrs. Comstock, aged
77,) are living at Wilton. ‘
MR5. GEORGE BETTS. '
Died, March Slat, zit-East Broadway, New
York, Mrs. George Bettylagcd 84 years.
tery on Saturday, the 24th, beside her has-
band, two sons and a daughter, George
Betts was a native of Norwalk, and father of
John Belts, of Wilton. Mrs. Bette was a
native of Southeast, Putnam County, and
aunt of Joshua and P. C. Barnum, who ,ac;
companied the remains to Norwalk. Mr.
and Mrs. Betta were distinguished during a
long life for their strict and practical piety.
They in our community who have learned
the Christian lesson to “weep with those who
weep,” have had repeated recent occasions to
exercise that grace. The removal of two
dear little children, whose loveliness has
brightened the some happy home, who used
to be trundlcd side by side in their baby car-
riage on the walks around “The Green" by
twin-sister nurses, giving pleasure to specta-
tors, hns awakened the liveliest sympathy
with thcir parents and friends. Lovely in
their lives, in their deaths they were not long
divided, but speedily reunited in the better
land. '
A likc sympathy has flowed out to an cs-
teemed family who, for three weeks'havc
lingered in anago‘ny of suspense _' by the bed-
side of the dearly loved husband and father,
and have finally been so distl'cssfullv bereaved
by his death. We can only assure them of
the cordial condolence of their friends.
- ' But it is another Chrifitian lesson; more
pleasant to be learned and practiccd, to “re-
joicc with these who do rejoice.”
Another honored household had ,the ten-
dcrcst sympathy of many when the wires
a lovely daughter, for from home—the more
nfllictivc, if possible, because cruelly mistnken:
and many were the gears shed whenipraycr
was offered in the sanctuary for those who
were believed to bc bereaved so suddenly.
And now that the relieved family are await-j
ing in joyful expectancy the speedy return of
that convalescent daughter, many are the
hearts that will join ill the glad “Welcotric
Home." Who' will not renicmber the joy of
the father, who called his household to the
Feast, saying, “Let us ent‘nnd be merry,,for,
this my Son was dead and is alive again ”_ [Or

A CARD.
At a meeting of the Board of Underwriters
of New York, held April 10th,1883, the fol-
lowing
PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS
WERE UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, This board has learned with sor-
row of the death of George R. Cholwell,
who, for many years past, has filled the po-
sition of Clerk,wlth great 'ability,and to the
. cutirc satisfaction of its members.
Resolved, That in the removal, by death, of
Mr. Cholwell, the board feels that it has lost
a faithful and efficient employee whose uni-
form courtesy, and ggaciousness of manner
