‘ mallow-extant" of a lertss ef Ivan-
. [elude Meetings at the I. I. Church.
Th scriptural passage. according to
Inlahxxxvliu 81, afforded the sermon
Wupon which Rev.» B. O. Sher-
, wood preached in the South Norwalk
, Baptist church, yesterday morning.
‘ "The men whom the world has consent-
ddtooallgreat,” he said. “are really
, those whcsslives have been most fruit-
la! in that which is conducive to the
welfareofthersce. They have not al-
» ways been‘rich in this world’s goods,
,. neither are they always found among
the cultured and educated. Indeed,
i“ some have been poor and often God has
7 chosen the uncouth and unlettered to do
3, his work. to carry Heaven’s messages
audblessiugstomeu. Theyare not al-
' w’ays popular among their contempora
, aria, for many have fallen mar-
tyrs to the hatred and jealousy of the
very onesto whom they have offered
" help. They may not have been widely
. known, for many whose lives have borne
fruit to the good of countless of their
, fellow meme-rd who have influenced gen-
erations after their decease,have wrought
and lived in obscurity. Not riches, cul-
ture or popularity is the true aid of life,
norif attained, man’s highest glory. The
fruitful life is the one which knows God
the most. Our lives should be rooted in
God himself and his word. The mating
implies stability. This means that you
can tell where to find such a Christian.
Be is not vascilating and uncertain. but
is always at the post of duty. He is
established, rooted, grounded. This sta-
bility is proof against the atoms and
droughts of life. Let the wind howl
among the branches; let the limbs them.
sslvesbe wrenched from the trunk; let
thetree be denuded of its beauty and
well nigh stripped 0 'ts form; no matter.
the roots grip the so. . all the more firmly.
When the storm is past the life-giving
principle begins its recuperative work,
from the hidden sourws of life into
which the root long ago penetrated.
These principles are called into action,
and the tree still lires, drapite the storm.
The person rooted in God, partakes of the
“divine nature; the world becomes
an object of so thought and solicitude.
The olive tree, which has been taken
as a type of a Godly man, is exceedingly
useful. Whats useful sphere God has
opened up to the true Christian. The se-
cret of the rich Christian life is in the
fact that the roots grow downward into
God and under his refining and strength-
ening influence fruit which shall bean
honortoour maker shall spring forth.
Wearetoo much given to pruning the top
and neglecting the root. See to the root,
let God do the pruning " The evening
subject was "A Revelation and a Revolu-
tion.” The subject was suggested by the
malt of the recent election in New York
city. It was a study and spiritual appli.
cation of the causes that led to those re-
sults. The Tammany organization was
condemned as a disgrace to a Christian
community, a blot upon the land.
“THE CHURCH AND THE MASSI'IS.”
Final Sen-on in Rev. A. S. Kavansgb's
Series on the Labor Question.
Rev. A. S. Kavanagh preached the
final semen in the series having a bear-
ingon the labor question. His subject,
last night, was “l‘he Church and the
Masses." and his text. "The common
people heard him gladly." He showed
first how the masses received Jesus. the!)
how the masses regarded the church,
and finally how the church should treat
the masses. His exhortation was for the
church to follow the example of Christ—-
telltale no distinction of persons—and
to laber for the conversion of the whole
people by methods in accord with the
WI. At the close of the preaching
mioethere was half an hour of con-
. secretion and revival service of the most

Noble. at the Norwalk 003W
church. yesterday morning. a. showed
that Christianity is not in the same cate-
gory-its the ethnic religious, nor on
the same plane with fraternities. orders
and lodges, butan institution {ordained
and equipped olGod for the maturation
of the world. in the evening he spoke
teen audience that filled the church to
the doors upon “The Right Husband and
Priest forthe ideal Home,” portraying
vividly the perils and miseries of an
unwise choice, and counselling the young
women of his flock ,to choose only the
the ideal furnished by the word of God,
The choir rendered mu is of a high or-
der both burning and evening. Next

South lorwalk congregational.
At the South Norwalk Congregational
church, Rev. Gerald B. Beard, at
the morning service, preached an
impressive sermcm from the text,
”The Lord, be is God”-I Kings xviii..
39. At the evening service there was a
special programme, with scriptural and
musical responses, and a sermon on
“The Purifying Power of Worship.” The
choir was augmented for the occasion,
and the Gounod Quartette sang two selec-
tions, the first, entitled “I am~Wander—
ing Down,” given by request. The
other number, “Song of the Homeland,"
was a beautiful composition, and ran-
dered by the quartette in such a manner
as to bring out both the deep, religious
sentiment of the poem and the beauty of
its musical setting. These eventide ser-
vices are becoming a very popular and
helpful element in the work of this
church. .______

People standing on the Washington
street bridge, yesterday sfteruoon, no-
ticed a dense volume of smoke arising
from thechlnluey of the galley on the
twoomested schooner "Mary Stewart." of
Bangor, Maine, lying at Hatch. Bailey d:
Co.'s dock, where she had discharged a
cargo of lumber. Nothing‘serlous was
thought of the occurrence, however, no.
til First Mate Gott. who had been asleep
inside, rushed out. shooting that the vis-
sel was on fire.
Captain S. W. Webster, who was in
the cabin at the stern of the boat, and
the members of the crew rushed on deck
and set about extinguishing the blaze.
The easterly side of the galley was plank-
ed up to keep the air out, while the men,
with the ship’s buckets, dipped water
from the river and threw it on the
flames. They had nearly succeeded in
extinguishing the fire when the fire ap-
paratus arrived, an alarm having been
turned in from Box 85, at the corner of
Water and Haviiand stream. The ex-
tinguishers from the truck were used,
and in a few minutes the fire was out.
The galley is partitioned into two
rooms, one of which is used as a kitchen
and the other for sleeping quarters.
Captain Webster said there was a hrs in
the stove, and that one of the crew had
been smoking in his berth during the
afternoon. Considerable bedding and
cooking utensils were destroyed, and the
boat somewhat damaged, the heat break-
ing out all the windows and charring the
woodwork.
The owners of the vessel, the principal
one of whom is P. McCouville, of Ban-
gor, Maine, carry no insurance, either on
the boat or stock. The damage will
probably be $200.

l'orgot lha Gave ller Son the .lswelry.
One day lest weak Mrs. Mary Bough
ton, of 13 Elizabeth street, reported to
the police that some one had stolen a
gold watch. a ring and other jewelry
from her house. The case was assigned
to Delectlve G. W. Gladstone, who sur-
de, after an investigation, that Mrs.
Boughtcn’s son George, of Danbury,
knew where the missing articles were.
Last Saturday the detective went to that
city and found that Mr. Boughtou had
the jewelry. He said his mother gave it
to him to keep when he visted her a
week or two ago. His story is undoubt-
edly true, as Mrs. Bougth has been
sick and at times out of her mind, and
probably forgot what had become of the
jewelv y. Berton at once turned it over
to the detective, who restored it to the
old lady.

The Boys of St. Phlllp's Chapter Defeat
a Saugatuck [levels at Football.
An exciting game of football was play-
ed at Saugatuck, Saturday, between the
Seugatuck eleven and the team of St.
Philip's Chapter, of Great church. The
game was called at 4 o'clock, A. B. Rus-
sell being cboeen referee and Ward Greg-
ory. umpire. The teams were evenly
matched, and the work of both sides was
excellent. Toward the latter part of the
first half the Norwalk team scored live
points on a magnificent drop~kiek by
Homer Byingtou, captain of the Nor.
walk team, which sent the pig-akin sail-
ing over the line between the goal posts.
Shortly after this, Stone, of the Snags.
tuck eleven, made a touchdown, after a
magnificent long run, thereby scoring
four points. They failed to kick a goal,
however, and no more points were scored
before time was called.
In the last half neither side seemed to
gain any advantage. The Saugatuck
eleven wanted to put on two members of
the Weslport team to strengthen their
side. The Norwalk players would not
submit to this unless they could also add
to their strength by the addition of
heavier men. The Ssugatuck eleven
would not consent to this, and conse.
quently no changes were made in the
personnel of the teams. No more points
were made. The game ended with the
score of five to four in favor of Norwalk.
New Industries for lorwallt.
Agents of a large cloak manufactory,
driven out of New York by the strike
now pending, were in Bridgeport and
Norwalk, last Saturday,prospeetlng for a
site for a new factory. They looked at
the Cousins factory on Hoyt street, and
thought very favorably of the location-
provided they could secure operatives in
the town. The representative of one of
the concerns will visit Norwslk again
this week.
F. 1. Jones, of Norwalk, has received a
letter from the proprietors of a large
stove foundry, with offices in New York
city, who wish to locate outside of the
city. They think favorably of Norwalk.
Mr. Jones will confer with them at once.
rive Trucks at springwood.
instructions were received in South
Norwaik, Saturday, to have the new cut
at Springwood made twelve feet wider
than year first intended, which will ad-
mit of an additional track at that point
of the road, making in all,whon com-
plehd, live tracks. The work was im-
mediately begun, and yesterday a force
of men were employed taking out the
timbers on the east side of the bridge
and putting in others twice their length.
The drilllng was carried on all day, but
uoblesting was done, owing to thefeet
that many freight trains were comically
passing. While the steam derrick near

Mr. Editor—W813: I wish to cor.
rent several mlstskes that were made in
the flour, concerning a fanning mill.
Several yearsagoFrank Gregory and i
purchased a fanning mill,‘ together, with
the agreement that neither of us should
sell or lead it without the consent of the
other. After he died his share was sold
to E. O. Shipman, and then Shipman
sold bhpartto Frank Fillow, but per-
mission was given to sell by me both
times. In September George Gregory
came to Mr. Fillcw’s house to borrow the
mill,and was told by Mrs. Fillova that
she thought there would be no trouble
about it if he took it. He then entered
my barn. which I considered locked, and
took it out and named it to John B.
Gregory's barn, without my knowledge
of where it was gone. The next day I
wished to use the mill, but could not find
it untill was told by Mr. Fillow that
George Gregory had borrowed it. I
went down and found Gregory, and told
him I wished to use it, so he brought it
back without even saying “thank you."
Gregory then purchased Fillow’s share
without my knowing it, and came and
took the mill out of my barn, again tell-
ing my wifeiflwantedtouseitl
would find it in John Gregory's barn.
In a short time I wished to use
the mill sgain,and went after it and
brought it home. John Gregory had
previously been to my house and told
me that his brother George had pur-
chased Fillow's share, without my know-
ing it. I told him It showed the princi-
ples of both in doing such sly work. I
met George Gregory in the road, but I
do not wish to starts his language, as it
is not fit to be printed. 1 again met
Gregory and his lawyer at the cider
mill, and was told unless I gave my
permission to let him get the mill he
would send an officer after it. I told
them I Would not consent for my part
to go further than Frank Fillow's barn,
as I didn't recognize George Gregory as
a partner. i also stated that [would
buy out or sell out with Frank Fillow’s
consent. The following morning Deputy
Sheriff Toner came for the mill with a
writ of replevin. The trial was to have
taken place last Wednesday, but was
settled out of court. I paid $5.80, or part
of the costs, instead of $14.70, as stated
by the Hour. and received $2.75 for my
part of the mill, which was auctioned
off, Gregory being the purchaser.
EBENEZER Gumsu'r.
Ills Political Faith of a Democrat.
Editor Sentinel: Ilistentd, yesterday
morning, with a great deal of satisfac-
tion to the discourse of Ur. Beard at the
Congregational church. As a general
rule i believe that a minister should let
political matters alone when in the pul-
pit. The exceptions come when it is
assumed that somehow a dillerent stan-
dard of morality must be applied to poll.
tics from that which obtains elsewhere:
that to lie, and steal. and smash the ten
commandments generally is even quite
commendable if it apparently subserves
some political purpose. Think of such a
growth as Tammany Hall in the midst
of aChrtstian community! it ltl possi-
ble on account of the easy going com»
plaisance of men high in both church
and state. What orguwzatiou should
speak out against manifest iniquity if ii.
is not the Christian church? What is it
here for any way, unless lhe denuncia-
tion of iniquity be one of its functions?
Helene with a quotation from a
speech of Emerson's: "The es»
series of Christianity is its practical
morals; it is here for use or it is nothing;
and if you combine it with sharp tran-
iog,or with ordinary city ambitions to
gloss over municipal corruptlous, or pri-
vate intemperancs, or successful frauds,
or immoral politics, or unjust were, or
the cheating of ludiensmr the robbery
of frontier nations, or leaving your prin-
ciples at home. to show on the high seas,
orln Europe, a supple complalsaucelo
tyrants, it is an hypocrisy, and the truth
lsnot in ycuund no love of religious
music, or of the dreams of Swedenborg,
or praise of John Wesley, or of Jeremy
Taylor, can save you from the Salem
which you are." Let me add that
Christianity is tomske a conquest of
the world, and that does not except pol-
ltlcs. Gentlemen, let as exact relent—
lessly from our respective political per-
tlcs the same moral standard that we or»
post everywhere else. Under such a
compact carried out faithfully by the
men in each community who believe in
political decency, rogues would indeed
free hard, and honest people set their
dues, while we, brethren, could look all
mankind is the face and not be ashamed
~of our politics. Such is the faith of

attention of Officer Henry L. Decker.
who was patrolling the beat in Spring-
wood. was directed to a disturbenu op-
posite the residence of William Lock-
wood, on Benton street. Going to the
scene, he found George Even. an Bun-
garian resident of that thoroughfare, in
an intoxicated condition. The officer
took hold of Even to arrest him, but the
fellow was ugly and made a desperate
resistance.
The otilcer called on Michael Collins to
assist him, but several of Evan‘s country-
men gathered around and insisted that
Mr. Collins ought not to interfere. He
was pushed violently against a fence,
several pickets of which were broken,
and one irate woman threw a clone
whith struck Mr. Collins on the back of
thehead, inflicting an ugly gash. Olli-
cer Hacker‘s helmet was smashed.aud
finding the odds too great against bim,he
was obliged to let go his hold on Evan.
The otiicer watched where he went,
however, and then sent to the centre
after help. stunting the services of Olli-
cers Pennington and Toothill. The fol-
low was finally arrested and lodged in
the lockup, where he remained until this
morning. when he was brought before
Justice liiwnrd Barrett.
Evan was accused of being drunk and
resisting an officer. The justice found
him guilty, and lined him ‘7 and costs

county jail.
