T1119 ALRIS HOUSE IIIEAT S UPI’LY.
In reply to the manifesto of the local
Butchers’ Association charging the
town authorities with purchasing the
almshouse meat supply from “a resi-
. dent and voter of New Canaan, and at
prices 40 per cent. higher than the same
can be furnished by resident voters
and taxpayers of Norwalk,” Col. Das-
kam, First Selectman, informs the
GAZETTE that the charge is calculated
to mislead and misrepresent the facts,
which he sets forth substantially as fol-
lows: ~ I
When Mr. Daskam was elected First
Selectman last October, he was in-
formed by Mr. Hoyt, keeper of the
almshouse, that the
theretofore been furnished with stale
meat, a considerable portion of which
they were obliged to bury owing to
decay.
town had been paying 7 and 8 cents a
pound for corned beef, and desiring
to secure good meat and insure its
prompt delivery he went to the Mitch-
ell market on Wall street, where he
himself has traded for the past 30 years
and which is now owned by Wm. Ward-
Well, and made a contract whereby Mr.
Wardwell agreed to deliver at the aims-
house 100 pounds of good sweet corned
beef each week for six months at 5 cents
per pound, which was from 2 to 3 cents
less than the town had previously paid.
The excellence of the meat was at once
observed by the inmates of the institu-
tion, who rejoiced at the improvement.
A short time ago a borough marketman
applied to Mr. Daskam for a share of
the town patronage and was informed
that after the expiration of the present
contract other butchers would be given
a chance to supply the meat. Shortly
after this interview Mr. Daskam re-
ceived a letter from the same market-
man, offering to supply the same quality
of meat as at present used, for 3 . cents
per pound, which, it is true, is 40 per
cent. lower than the present contract
price, and on the basis of this offer, it
is supposed the ingeniously worded
manifesto of the Butchers is founded.
At the conclusion of the present con—
tract Mr. Daskam will consider the 3
cent offer above. After this public
revelation of possible prices and proba-
ble profits 1n the meat business, involv-
ing incidentally a first-class free adver-
tisement for the butchers all around,
the burden of public sentiment is that
it would not be outside the bounds of
reason to demand a universal reduction
in the price of meat for home supply.

The newly organized company which

tory conditions with the Consolidated
road for the right to cross their tracks
on the line of their surveys. above and
below grade, but up to date have utter-
ly failed to negotiate any terms with
the Consolidated upOn which the new
line could possibly be constructed. It
is, they say, the old dog in the manger
policy of the Consolidated to prevent
the building of any railroad which
should in anywise prove a competition
for their enormous monopoly business.
The next step to be taken, is to appeal
to the state board of Railroad Commis-
sioners for them to determine as be-
tween the contestantants, where and
how and in what manner these neces-
sary crossings shall be made. No other
company, corporation or individual
has interposed any objections to the
building of their newroad north and in-
dependent of the .Consolidated line.
It is the old, old story over again.
The Consolidated is not going to permit
the construction of any railroad, how-
ever much needed or desired by the
people of Connecticut, but the new
company means business and a lively
tussle is in prospect.

lv'rmu (I Sum]! 10 (I Tram}: ”cg/gar.
Danbury, Conn., Feb. 3.-Dt niel J.
Brew, a well-known hat manufacturer
of this city. who has been missing since
December 6, is a tramp in some of the
Western States whére he is trying to
make his way from Texas, where he
was shipped in a freight car after being
assaulted and robbed of money and
clothes on a New York city street.
Brew, until two months ago, carried on
a prosperous business in Hawleyville,
where he was the owner of a large fac-
tory. It was his custom to go to New
York city every other Saturday, collect
the money due him from jobbers in the
city and return to Danbury to pay off
his employes in the afternoon. He left
his home at No. 71 Franklin street,
early in the morning of December 6,
and took an express train for New
York. He was to go to see one of his
customers, L. Cowan, at N o. 127 Greene
street, where $300 was due him for
a shipment of hats the day before, and
he intended to catch the 2 o’clock train
back to Hawleyville. That was the last
seen of him in Danbury, and nothing
was heard from him until the following
Wednesday, when it was learned that
a strange woman had asked the New
York police to send outa general alarm
for him. Brew’s friends then caused a
vigorous search to be instituted, and
all the batting districts in the country
were thoroughly searched. Brew was
a strong temperance advocate and was
never known to touch liquor or tobacco,
and after a month passed his relatives,
believing that he had met with foul
play, settled up his business and paid
his indebtedness.
To-day a letter was received from
Brew dated at a small town in the
Southwest, where he was at work in a
coal yard. He tells a startling story of'
abduction and robbery in New York,
and of the privation that followed.
When he reached New York on De-
cember 6 he went directly to Greene
street, where he received a check for
in Canal street, where it was cashed.
Then he started up town. He remem—
bers placing the money in his pocket
and leaving the bank. How far he was
from Canal street, he does not know,
when there was a rush and a blow upon
the head, and all became a blank.
How long he remained unconscious he
does not know, but he was awakened by
a fall from what appeared to him to be
a tremendous height. The height
proved to be a box of merchandise in a
freight car. He was dressed in old
water-soaked clothes, and his own good
garments, his money, watch and jewel-
ry were gone. He tried to attract the
attention of the trainmen again and
again. He was faint from hunger and
thirst, and finally became too weak to
cry out. Then he became un-
concious again, and when he came to
his senses he Was in ahouse in Houston,
Texas, 'where the people said he had
been in a car ten days, without food or
water. The people there thought him
a tramp, and as soon as he regained his
strength they sent him away. He
earned a few dimes shovelling coal,
until one day about three weeks ago he
was shot by a negro, who took him for
a tramp. Since then he has been trying
to make his way north.

:' Rice’s Surprise Party.”
“ NE FER BETTER. ’ ,.
The engagement of the original Rice’s
Surprise Party promises to be the
event of the season. This is the origi-
nal Rice’s Surprise Party which has
become so well known to lovers of
amusement. For years this name has
been synonymous with the highest pos-
sible merit. Mr. Rice personally
manages his productions and spares no
expense to bring them to the front.
‘ ‘Never Better” is a dashing, frolicsome,
farce comedy purposely written to show
the company at their best. It is a
witty, legitimate satire with a plot on
the latest sensation—Dr. Koch’s Lymph
remedy. It contains a series of ingen-
ious novelties and burlesques, inter-
spersed with catchy songs and special-
ties, such as have won for Mr. Rice’s
company their position in the theatri-
cal community. Having been in active ‘
practice for years, this combination is
the strengest and best drilled one on
the road. The company is headed by
the funny Gus Bruno, the well known
character and dialect comedian.
Among the greatest features is the Car-
mencita dance by Mr. George Lauri,
and the lamp shake dance by the'
Bonanza Girls.

A Sensational Suicide.
NEW BURNSIDE, 1115., Feb. 4.—Thomas

wealthiest farmers in this section of the
state, committed suicide under most sensa-

from town. He was a widower with five
children, two of his daughters being
grown. The inquest developed the fact
that he was engaged to marry Miss Stella
Fisher, daughter of the state’s attorney.
Sunday night he had some trouble with
Stella. Yesterday morning the quarrel
was renewed, when he pulled a revolver .
and blew his brains out while she was.
looking at him. The affair caused an im-

social standing of all concerned.
