This is true from whatever standpoint
you may view, the law. it is really
p it establishes a prece-
dent 'for a constitutional convention
whlclt will besttiong enough
even though the present‘law may fail
to obtain approval at the polls‘next 0c-
tuber. Oi” course the legislature had
no authority to pass such a law. but. if
the people approve it at the polls. this
fact will not weigh against this meth-
od oi reform. The people may undo
what the peopl have done in any man-
ner they may limit advisable. if this
law be approved by the people the gov-
ernor will call a special election for
November for the purpose of electing
delegates to the convention. Each town
will have one delegate. consequently.
there will be res delegates in the con-
vention. This will give the small towns
the control. and. if they are wise. they
will vote in October for the convention.
and. if called. settle forever the ques-
tion of town representation. This may
be done by providing that each town
shall have one representative in the
House. and that the Senate shall be
one-third as large as the House. which
arrangement would increase the pres-
ent number of Senators to 66. The
greatest obstacle in the way of consti-
tutional reform is apathy or indiffer-
ence. it is true that whenever any re-
form of this kind is sought to be
brought about it will be observed that
there are only a few ardent supporters
of the measure. and a few ardent ene-
mies in opposition. and that the ma-
iorlty oi the population are indifferent
and need to be aroused and interested
in order to have them take one side or
the other. This was the condition of
the public mind in 1818. when the
present constitution was ratified.
There was only a majority oi 1554 out
of a vote of 36.282 in favor of ratifica-
tion. Hartford County gave a major-
ity of 809 against the constitution. and
li‘airiield county save a majority of st?
in its favor. The vote of Norwaik

tion." ,

L. Bryan Clark. and J. E. Stow
one Collector.
The annual meeting of the South
Five Mile River school district was"
held at the school house last night.
The warm time that was predicted for
the meeting was conspicuous by its ab.
sauce. The only thing warm was the
atmosphere-via the room in which the
meeting was held. The space was
completely filled with voters and spec-
tators. The temperature. was just
right for a good old fashioned argun
ment. such as one would expect to
witness atba school meeting. but des-
pite this fact everything went off as
smooth as possibl could be. This can
be attributed to t .e fact that the mat-
ter of selecting a school committee
had been pro—arranged. it was appar-
ent immediately the matter was
brought up in the meeting. The now-
ers that be decided beforehand that
there should be nitrocellulose of one
and that one should be in the person
of George W. Stevens. The old com-
mittee were completely turned down
died :38” reelection was not even men-
ton .
When the meeting was called to or-
der every seat in Principal iamphere’s
room was taken and many were oblig-
ed to stand. Although only a few over
a hundred legal voters werelpresent
this does not adequately show how
many Were there. as uniny minors
were in attendance. school children
and others, who anticipated seeing
some fun.
Mrs. Charles H. Golder. the only
woman suffragist in Rownyton. was
present. and cast her ballot for the
committee: When she passed by the
desk and deposited the slip on which
the name of the man whom she fern
tired. she was greeted with loud apé
planes. _ " L‘ 4 ‘
"'3‘ The. meeting was called to order by
ll. L. Bryan. who acted in the capacity
of clerk. to fill out the term of the
deceased clerk. Frederick J. Biliard.
Charles W. Bell was chosen to not
as moderator and acted in this capa
city in his usual efllclent manner, for
which he is famous.
The call of the meeting was read
and in order followed the minutes of
,the last annual school meeting. and
the special meeting read by Clerk
Brynn. The minutes were approved.
The moderator then ordered the
reading of the report of the retiring
school committee, which was done by
one of the members oi the committee
Daniel P. Wicks. The only objection
raised was in the amount oi salary
to he paid the janitor. Albert Mills.
The committee had agreed to give him
$260 a year. and the town had raised
the amount to 8300. There was quite
a little discussion about the expenses
of cleaning the building in the summer
to come out of the above annount.
The matter was adjusted.
Treasurer Alfred Crackett presented
his report and this showed that there
is now in the treasury a balance of
$432.08. The report was accepted on
animously.
Collector James E. Stevens gave in
his report. which shows that he col
lected $1341.10. He paid to the trees
urer the sum of $1125.25 and has the
balance in hand. The collector's re
port was accepted by the meeting with
out a dissenting vote.
Here followed the portion. of the
meeting which was looked forward to
as providing material for warm dis
cussions.
Hickson W. Cole made a motion that
a committee of one should be selected
to serve instead of three. as at pres‘
out. and his motion was carried with
hardly a dissenting vote.
Mr. Cole presented the name oi
Geogre W. Stevens and Captain Ed»
ward ll. Smith that of Henry W. Wells
as nominees. When Mr. Wells' name
was presented he replied with a de-
cisive “No. air.“ to which no attention
was paid. and he continued one of the
nominees. A formal ballot wandecld.
ed on and that the voters should pass
by the desk and deposit their ballots
in a hat.
Moderator Charles w. Bell appoiut‘
ed lra Petty. C. H. Godfrey and it. A.
Mills tellers. The result of the ballot.
in; showed that 105 votes were cast.
distributed as follows: George W.
Stevens. 94: Henry w. Wells. maest-
terinx. 2; total. 10‘. The number oi
votes necessary for a‘ choice was as.
From this it will readily be seen that
air. Stevens had practically the
strength or the entire meeting. Upon
motions! Ifr. Cole the vote was de
elated unanimous by Incineration.
Next came the matter of choosing a
treasurer. it was decided to vote by
decimation. The name of Alfred
Crockett was presented for reelection.

The opportunity for this jug-handled
species of commercialism is found in
the suceptlbllity of a large and rapidly
increasing class of individuals grouped
under the title of “stamp fiends.“ or.
to culploy the technical term. "phil-
atellsts."
Anything in the. domain of stamp-
dom. varying u hair's breadth from the
ordinary. possesses a peculiar charm.
amounting almost to a passion. to the
stamp collector who has fallen victim
to the real or malignant form of the.
malady. it matters not how slight the
variation may be. it constitutes a
"type.” and forthwith there is a scram.
bio for stamps possessing these pecul-
iarities. and no stamp collector is
happy until he has obtained one.
Should it happen that but few of the
freak stamps escape. the struggle tor
[musessiou becomes so fierce that men.
by loses its charm in the wild delights
incident to the acquit-omen! of one of
the oddities. Men of means and ap-
parently sound mentally will draw
their checks bearing three and four
figures to land a “prize."
This line of thought is suggested by
the recent discovery of a sheet of the
new “PanoAmericun” series of stamps
of the 2~ccnt denomination with the
picture of the railroad printed upside
down.
It appears that this sheet of invert-
ed trains was contained in the package
shipped to the postmaster at Brooklyn.

without the error having been discov~

Through the bureau the news of the
invertedtrain came to the ears of a
stamp collector, who instantly saw vis-
ions oi a rarity of the very first water.
it is said this collector. or his repre-
sentative went to Brooklyn. and. after
some negotiations. secured four of the
ten “inverted trains." it appears that
the purchaser had‘ used four of the
stamps. given away two and for the
remaining four received 820 each.

Two sections of train No. fiwone
coming from Detroit and the other
from Toledo—were consolidated in
this city into a train of eleven cars
making up the iiyer for its journey to
St. Louis. it consisted of a combina-
tion baggage and express, combination
baggage and smoker, day conch. emi-
grant coach. three chair cars. three
sleepers and private car of General
Superintendent Cotton, of the iron
Mountain railway. Having left this
city one, hour late. the train was speed-
lug westward at a high rate. when at
a point nine miles west. the engine
plunged through a trestle which had
been undermined by the recent heavy
rains. The embankment on both sides
of the little stream dropped at a sharp
degree. a distance of forty feet. Dw-
ing to the momentum of the train. the
engine appeared in leap nearly across
the abyss. plunged into the soft earth
on the opposite side and fell back to
the bottom. Engineer Butler and Fire.
man Adams were thrown from the cab.
but not seriously hurt. The emigrant
cnr followed by two chair cars. went
down on the left side of the track and
the first sleeper pitched forward upon
the mass of debris. its windows and
trucks were broken. but none of the oc-
cupants were injured. The remaining
c'ars also left their tracks, but were
not badly damaged. it was in the emi-
grant and the day coaches that most
of the deaths and injuries occurred.
Heavy foliage lined the banks on
both sides of ice culvert, the approach
to which was over a reverse curve.
There was absolutely no means by
”which the engine crew could see the
impending danger. in fact the engine
ran out upon the trestle before the
structure gave way. The night was in.
tensely dark. For a few minutes after
the fatal plunge and dreadful roar of
crashing timbers. a death like stillness
prevailed. which was only broken by
the cries of the injured.
Trainmen caught up their lanterns
and rushed to the neighboring farm
houses for assistance. Telephone
messages were despatched to this city
and every Physician was hurriedly tak-
them to the scene. The injured were
piled stream the" cars and brought to

merit, Telling His Reasons for
Taking Char-gentT the Cody
And Making Arr-tingemento.
Plans for the funeral of Colonel
Thomas E. Sloan. who came to such a
tragic and by drowning last Sunday-
off Keyser island. have been changed.
and instead of services being held in
the Norwalk armory. they will take
place in the Old Guard armory at
Broadway and Forty-ninth street, New
York.
William 1. Edwards, one of the party
who was in the boat Curlew when it
capsized. gave out the information
yesterday that arrangements had been
made to have the funeral in the Nor-
walk armory. The Sentinel published
the story in good faith. but it now
seems that Mr. Edwards had no auv
«thorlty to lay plans for the funeral.
although he says that Colonel Sloan.
while in life. requested him many
times to take charge of his body and
arrange for the funeral. if he. should
die first.
Last evening Robert P. Lyon. adju-
tant of the Old Guard. came to South
Norwaik with the proper credentials,
and took the body of Colonel Sloan to
New York. it will lay in state at the
Old Guard armory until tomorrow af—
ternoon. when funeral services will be
held from the armory at 2 o‘clock.
Members of the Old Guard wrll as-
semble at the armory at 1 o‘clock in
full dress uniform to escort the body
to Woodlawn cemetery, where it will
be buried with military honors in the
Old Guard plot.
M r. Edwards was seen by a Sentinel
reporter this morning and he made the
following statement. telling why he
went ahead and laid plans to have the
funeral in the Norwalk armory:
“For a longtime l have been a very
close friend of Colonel Sloan. He had
a preeentiment that something was
going to happen to him several weeks
ago. He told me time and again that
he ielt. as though he was going to die.
He seemed a'llttle down-hearted and
i tried to cheer him up. it made no
difference What happened. he was not
the same during the past few weeks
as heiwas previously. '
“One day. a short time ago. he told
me that if anything happened to him.
he wanted me to take charge of his
body and bury him in a place i thought
most convenient. l was trying to car-
ry out his wishes. when a member of
the Old Guard from New York came
here and took the body away. i think
it is an outrage. for it was the express
ed wish of the colonel to not have the
Old Guard get the body.
“Of course. when they came up here
and served me with the proper order.
there was nothing for me to do but
deliver the body without any trouble.
if i had wanted to make trouble. the
Old Guard or any other organization
could not have taken Colonel Sloan‘s
remains. The colonel has a brother in
Boston whom he has not spoken to in
rest-as... its also had daughters with
whom he did not speak, and it was for
this reason he did not want his rola~
tires to have charge of him when he
was dead. ,'
“lie and Major 8. Ellis Briggs. of the
Old Charmwere deadly enemies: and
that is why he did not want that or—
gsnlsstion to ’bury him. or course as,
bad a great manytrienda in the Old
Guard. but as Major Brim was‘at the
