SOUTH NORWALK. CONN. THURSDAY: JUNE 27. 1895. t TWO CENTS FUIIITEEII Tllfllllllll RAISED. The Building of a New Methodist Church New Positively Assured. The ladies of the South Norwelk Methodist chdrch have a faculty of ar- ranging stwactive entertainments, and theenegiven last night added another to this list. It wssa recs tion given to thcssholdicg books mntelhing subscrip- tions for the new church fund. and was also intended to create sociability among the members. and it was evident that both these ends were most satisfa achieved. The aflair was in charge of a commit~ tee who arranged everything in a nearly perfect manner. The lower portion of the church was utilized, and the front basement presented a :moat pleasing sight. the walls being fastened with the national colon, wlzile deiaes were used in profusion to bank the win- dows. The Epworth League room was alsoabower of flowers, the yellow ox- eyed deiay being conspicuous in the doc- oration. Cake, cream and strawberries were served at fifteen small tables, fan- cifully decorated and presided over by active young ladies. The scene was one of animation and sociability. A musi- cal. programme of merit, which proved a moat e‘.rtertaining feature, was given, as follows: Piano solo -—“Old Folks at Home.” Miss Bertha Adams. Solo w“Spring is only i we." Miss Sadie Bodwell. Solo —“Dreamlng as she Sleeps," Miss Grace Hamilton. Solo—“When the Heart is Young." Fred Ambler. Sale -“A Bridge of Fascias," Miss Eva French. Duel —"Forest Birds.” Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ambler. At the conclusion of the programme, the pastor, Rev. A. S. Kavausgh, ar - nouuced that the result of the contribu- tions on the books would be given. He said that 119 books had bzen returned and that the sum of 8891 could be report- ed, which was received with maniir' m- tioss of great pleasure. Mr. Kavauegh said he could further announce for a cer- tainty that over $14,000 had been raised for the new church fund, and that they must now work for the last thousand. He was loudly applauded and his ener- getic work of the past three months was spoken of most highly. The remainder of the evening was spent in social intercourse. The rooms were crowded to overflowing during the entire evening and an occasion of rare enjoyment was experienced by all. A new church is now fully assured, and the Methodist people are surely deserving of one as a reward for their hard work. ~————-~—_._._ LIQUOR LICENSE FEES. are 7 o'clock haraight-year' -' Mend wanttoewellon iaingpropsrtyof Roth d: Gold- , Wilt. for a pail of water.

She had a severe bruise on the aide‘of the head. 'Mrs.,Smelledge appear- ' ed slightly better during the night, and ‘U hopes are entertained of her ultimate re- covery in a few days.

Supper was served ‘ after 6 o’clock. At 8 o‘clock an en- jcyabla programme was rendered. It in- cluded delightful selections by Seder- strom’s orchestra and vocal music by the quartettefof thechurch, Messrs. McGoue- . / gal and Sterling, Mrs. L. D. Keeler and ‘ Mi- Ella Gregory. The banjo solos by Miss Eva Collins were greatly enjoy- ed, whiie the recitations by Miss Ger- trude Lyon and Miss Benettie Dennis weregems of eiocutionary talent. Se- lections by thy Adelphi quartette were well received. Baas solos by S. M. Sterling and tenor solos by Dr. 3100 onegai were features of the evening’s en‘srtaiu- merit. The duets by Mrs, Keeler and Min Gregory were greatly appreciated. Attheconclusion of the programme a social hour was enjoyed Irnd straw- berries, cake and cream were served. 5.

Ila Gives a Review of the Political Situa- tion Which Confronts the Democrats-.A Decided Turn Against Silver-Term Will Not be an hecnapicuous Issue. John S. Seymour, of N crwalk, United States commissioner of patents, was met yesterday by a New Haven Register man and made to talk about the cur- rency question and the political situation in general. The commissioner among other things said: “The political situation has been profoundly modified within the last few weeks. almost within the last few days, by the turn against silver. But there is no disguising the fact that the free coinage of silver at the present ra- tie is still strongly advocated and sin- cerely believed in in many parts of the country. Overs wide region ,1 is al- moeta fanaticism. Only a I weeks ago it was not unusual to find in the state of Mississippi, for example, a lo- street. , , cal officer, a town constable, who would Tl” owner of the horse was G‘lb‘m offer himself for nomination, by public‘ “Mb-“Si““m‘l' ly declaring himself to be for "re free YALE WINS THE RACE. coinage of silver, for this country alone, with or without the co-operation of foreign countries, at the ratio of sixte‘e; to one forever. In Illinois it was thought wise by the leaders of that state who favored sound money, to treat the free coinage movement as a cyclone and let it blow .over. At the convention of Re- publican clubs in Cleveland, Ohio, last week,jit was decided to make no declar- ation upon thisjqucation. Some have held, unwisely, as it seems to me, that the Democratic party would be split upon this question. I do not entertain this view, but am inclined to think that by the time the national conventions are held next year, the Democratic party, without evasion, and in simple and understandable terms, will pro- claim that the free coinage of silver is impossible, will declare for the single gold standard of value, and will elect a president. “See what has been done in the single state of Kentucky within a few weeks by one fearless min, advocating asound cause as against popular clamor.

Workmen in the employ of the Consol- idated Railroad company are putting up tin leaders at the rear of the depot at Nor- waik. to carry off the water that has poured down on the platform from the roof in streams every time it rained. One of the men had a narrow escape from serious injury about 11 o’clock this morning. He was coming down from his lofty perch, and had reached the nar- row idge along the top of the retaining wall adjoining Andrew Seileck‘s build- ing, when he attempted to lower himself down the wall to the top of the station sign, from there to a baggage truck, and then to the platform. As he was getting over the edge of the well, one of the large stones became loosened and came out, causing the workman tofail. The stone was in im- minent danger of crashing down on top of hishead and crushing his skull, but he managed to retain hold of it and threw it tooue side as he was falling. His head struck the baggage truck and he rolled off to the platform, striking on his back. He was badly bruised and there wesa small cut in the back of his head. One of his wrists was also cut. The stone bounded three feet to one side and put adent in the platform. In a short time he was able to resume his work. Herefused to give his name as he did not want his wife to hear of the acci- dent, but it is supposed that his home is in New Haven.” “WM“ Death of—a;r;tn:r Student at Hillside. The many friends in Norwalk of Mrs. Dr. Clement Greene, of Atlanta, Georgia, will beshocked to hear of her death in that city on June 20. Coming first to Norwalk as a pupil in Mrs. Mead’a school in the fall of 1880, Miss Mac— Rhodes soon became a general favorite in social circles here. Young, beautiful, vivacious, affectionate in disposition, and animated as she was by earnest, fixed Christian principle, she gave promise, amply fulfilled, of a charming woman- hood. Shc was an enthusiastic, success fui student, and won a reputation in school not only for scholarship, but for devotion to duty. The hearts of her teachers did safely trust in her, and right royally did she repay their love. It was in her Hillside home that she was best known and appreciated. and it was here that she returned as a bride with her husband nearly three years since. In her last letter, in response to a com- mencement invitation, she wrote: "Around Hillside cluster some of the very sweetest ties of my girlhood. As lcngasIlive that name will be to me one of the dearest on earth." Mrs- Greene had been in failing health for the past two years. Penna-Stevens. Dr. H. T. Partree, of South Norwaik. and Miss Minnie E. Stevens of Wethors- field, were married at the home of Mrs. Beiden in the latter place, at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon, by the Rev. W. B. Tee], formerly pas- tor of the Congregational church. A re- ception was held after the ceremony at which intimate friends and relatives dangerous doctrine everywhere gavl way, and the result of the convention yrsterday afternoon has registered a tri- umph which means more for the revival of business, for finance, and for sound politics alike, than any other event that has occurred in the last two years. What Carlisle did in Kentucky was pos- sible in Illinois andis possible in every state reckoned in the Democratic columns. unless it be South Carolina, with the some vigor of attack. "It is premature to talk of candidates, still no competent observer has failed to note that they are selected by the trend of events. When the National conven- tion meets next year two things will be recognized; first, that a declaration must be made upon the money question, that without explanation or comment will command the support of thinking men; then, as in 1892, it will be the sober and considered thought of the country that will be decisive: second, in my judgment, there will be no triangular fight, and the choice of president will not i: : by the House of Representativta. The delegates will consider who can carry Nengork, Connecticut, New Jer- sey. the Southern States, Indiana and Wiscort'm “lam not aware that the president has discussed this question with refer- ence to his own candidacy for another term. Whether it be true that under no circumstances he “would ercept such uomination,l know not. If not, and if the conservativointeresfs and the brui- uess sagacity of the Northern sfrtes at all recognize or appreciate the work of Secretary Csrllsle in stemming the tide of fanaticism in finance, he would com mand the hearty support of the tint states I have mentioned. If there is any man who :has the confidence of the Southern ststes,'.by reason of his .long and distinguished public career, his ef- fective advocacy of sound principle and just policies in public affairs, that man is Mr. Carlisle. "Assuming for the moment that the Harrison aud.Stephen B.

Tff y _ peuy, whose wages reducthius brought ' on the Homesteads strikes. under His (McKinley bill, have twice voluntarily raised wages in the last few months, and now propose to build two new mills with an output of 1,000 tons a day each. . "Whether the Democratic partywill completetheprogramme of freeing all raw materials from tariff taxation, cannot be ope" to doubt. Upon a. platform diso tiuc.ly committed to sound money and revised tariff, with such v candidates, the party will make acoutest which must grow in favor wit ".ry man who thinks, from the If/ . it is inaugu- rated until the fin . result is declared. That it can win on any other programme is at present impmsibie to believe. "In this State, the conduct of the pres- ent Legislature in rejecting the consti- .. tutioual amendment providing for elec-thav' i tione by the people, was a distinct re- . pudiation of the pledges of the Republi- ’ can party, and show to a demonstration that the only hope of those who wish to restore self-government to Connecticut must be in the triumph of the Demo- cratic party, and‘_through it, in a consti- tutional convention.” 4 Enterprising Advertisers. .
