No less than fifty-twog 0“ills, most of
whom are candidates for the DAILY
GAZETTE’s gold watch, went down 011
the early horse car this morning, run
by Dr. Healy, driver,and Fred. Brady,
conductor. Most of them got off at the
corset shop, casting sheep’ 3 eyes at

The Bridgeport Choral Society, un-
der the direction of Mr. Samuel San-
ford, gave a concert in the M. E.
Church, on Fairfield avenue, on Tues~
day night last. Quite a number of
Norwalk people attended, and the
church was crowded despite the 11n-
pleasant weather. .

A handsome crayon portrait 30x48 is
exhibited, with justifiable pride, by Geo.
Allen, of Chestnut street, representing
his little son sitting beside “ Ray, ” the
mammoth St. Bernard dog—owned by
George Grumman. The picture, in its
every detail, is said, by our local con-
noisseurs, to be a magnificent piece of
work.

It is said that an effective blow is to
be aimed at the policy swindle in the
present Legislature. A bill has been
drafted, which will be presented, mak-
ing it an offense to have a policy slip or
ticket, or a lottery ticket, or any of the
insignia of either business, in one’s
possession. If this should become a
law it would make the policy men’s
row a hard one, as few persons would
care to carry slips about with them,
and consequently there Would be little
or no interest in the game.

A surprise party was given Ellis
Howard, at his home on Woodward
avenue, last evening. Alarge crowd

The Ohio man takes to politics as
naturally as a duck to water, and so we
find South Dakota electing an Ohioan
as United States Senator. John H.
Kyle is his name, he is only 313 years of
age, is a Farmer’s Alliance man. and is
a clergyman. His election will com-
pensate Ohio Somewhat for her blunder
in giving New York a third Se :1ator in

It must be confessed tnat clergymen
seem at times a little captions. Only
the other day a well known Brooklyn
preacher complained that years ago a
vessel sailed from Boston with five'mis-
sionaries and twenty thousand gallons
of rum. To most people this propor-
tion of rum would have seemed quite
large enough, and yet the minister
found fault ivith it. —[European Edition
of the Heiald.

We lecently 1efe11ed to the diiving
and thiiv ing business 110w rushing at
the Union Manufacturing . Company’s
mills. [It is noteworthy that this pres-
ent activity and prosperity is not e11-
tirely due to the McKinley bill or to
accident, but more largely to the fact
that Mr. George R. Cowles, the presi-
dent, is an able, clear headed and saga—
cious business man, and that his efforts
to make the factory profitable are sec-
onded by an able and painstaking
corps of assistants in the office and in
the mill. There is no unusual success
in this world long maintained unless
there be unusual ability behind it.

 

The young Duke of Orleans, naugh-
ty boy, announces that he proposes to
wed whomsoever he chooses without
regard to the plans and purposes of his
pseudo royal papa. This is news calcu-
lated to bring a delightful little flutter
to the hearts of certain American title-
hunting heiresses—young women of
the class whose dearest petition is,
“Papa, please buy me. a duke.” But
there is scant chance that the moony-
faced young scion of France’s old roy-
al line will consent to be bought by
American millions, even if the proba-
bilities were less strong that his father

'will speedily yank him back into lead-

ing strings again.

The Astor-Willing wedding is natural.
ly a subject of cons1derable interest. A
very wealthy youngman marries a very
nice young woman,‘and everybody is
curious to know all about the bride’s
dresses, the church decorations,and who
are selected toassist at the ceremony.
“This curiosity is very silly. The parties
themselves, it is likely, being good,
sensible people, would perfer to start
011 their new career quietly, and with-
out being held up as a show for half a
continent. Very few of our great men
weie wedded under a golden un1b1ella.

There is no occasion for the in—
dustrious couple struggling on a few

dollars a week, to envy the resplendent:

HARTFORD, Feb. 18, 2:30 p. m.——Wl1en
the 1senate convened this afternoon,

Executive Clerk Brainard presented a

cominunication from Gov. Bulkeley
making the following appointments for
the Confirmation of the Senate :

\V. S. Simonds, factory inspector;
Charles Griswold of Guilford, to be
bank commissioner; George C. Waldo
of Bridgeport, and B. A. Treat of Wal-
lingford, to be shell fish commission-
ers ; Frederick Botsf'ord of New Haven,
to be shell fish clerk.

Senator Fox moved that the commu-
nication be 1ejected and 1etu1ned to
M1. Bulkeley,

Senato1 Claik said Morgan G. Bulke—
ley was the only Governor who had
been inaugurated by the general as-
sembly. He called attention to the
fact that no mention was made in the
journal of the communication received
from Gov. Bulkeley yesterday. The
constitutionrequired that such matter

'be‘put on the journal, but the majority

of the senate seemed to think that the
constitution applied to the legislature
of 1891. ‘

Sfenator Cleveland caused a sensation
byii‘moving that the communication b'e
received and referred tothe committee

on "executive nomination and by stating'

that he should recognize Morgan G.
Bulkeley as Governor.

Senator Fox called Gov. Bulkeley a
dictator and usurper, and said that it
was a deliberate insult to the senate to
send papers here when he had kept the
doors locked against the senators.

The canvass of votes for judge of
prObatc in the town of Branford was
completed to-day by the canvassing
bohrd, which according to the consti-
tution the secretary of state, treasurer
and comptroller should sign. Consid-
erable excitement was caused at the
Capital because Comptroller Staub was
not given the returns to sign. Treas-

urer Henry and Seeretary \Valsh
signed the canvass but Mr. Staub did
not see it.

At this moment Executive Secretary
Brainard appeared again on the floor
of the senate with another communica-
tion from Gov. Bulkeley. No one
would take the envelope from the Gov-
ernor’s secretary and he left it lying on
the president’s desk and departed.
The paper was shunned as if it contain-
ed leprosy. An hour’s 'bitter discus-
sion then ensued.

A motion to return both communi-
cations to the Governor was carried by
a vote of 10 to 6.

The executive communication which
was not received reappointed Dwight

Loomis a judge of the supreme court'

fo1 eight yeais. Judge Loomis’ term
expi1 es in June.

Gov. Bulkeley said this mowing that
he did not icgard M1. Staub as comp-
troller, and has no occasion to recog-
nize him. It appears the other hold-
over officers do not recognize Mr.
Staub either.

Gen. Butterfield, marshal of the

At the special meeting of the Nor-
walk Club last night, the Committee
brought in a satisfactory report. They
laid before the organization a plan
for a building which embodies all the
modern and progressive ideas: Mem-
bcrs’ rooms, library, ladies’ parlor.’
(the idea being to give to the ladies a
reception once in two weeks,) and so
on. The first floor is to be made in-
to stores and rented. The Club, after
listening to the details, voted that if
the stock company would put up the
building, the Norwalk Club would rent
the part appropriated by them. The
stock has been taken to the amount of
$514,000, while the house will cost $25,-
000. Here is a chance to show public
spirit, and at the same time to make a
good investment. There'are always a
few public spirited men who are for-
ward iu every such movement, and
they ought. to have the support of ev-
ery right thinking man.

CALLED BULKELEY A. USURPER.

.A motion to Suspend Representative "'ollccr

Until He. Apologizes.

HARTFORD, Feb. 18.—A resolution
was offered by Mr. Judson (rep) in the
house this afternoon to find out if
the senate proposed to join with the
house in the transaction of legislative
business. In discussing it Mr. Walker
(dem.) of Hartford, alluded to Gov.
Bulkeley as a usurper and intruder and
characterized the conduct of the re-

publinans in the house as obstructive to -

to legislative business.

He was interrupted in the midst of
his remarks by Mr. Porter ,(rep.) of
Pomfret, who jumped to his feet amid
great excitement and moved that Walk-
er be refused the privileges of the floor
of the house because he had used dis-
graceful language» in speaking of the
chief executive of the state, and not
be permitted to enjoy the privileges of
the floor until he had withdrawn his
words.

The motion was seconded by Mr.
Green (rep.) and then Mr. Walker pro-
ceeded to discuss the question, holding
that he~ had not used insulting language
and gave authorities maintaining his
position.

Mr.Walker said the suspension would
be a worse penalty than expulsion,” for
if he was expelled he would be re-elect-
ed in ten days. If suspended the peo-
ple of Hartford would be deprived of
representation.

In accordance with the rules, Mr.
Walker left the house while his case
was under consideration. Mr. Porter
then said he thought a partial retrac-
tion had been made. He would there-
fore submit a substitute resolution
which was that if Mr. Walker would
say that he used the word usurper only
in a legal sense and not in an offensive
one he would not be suspended.

Walker was recalled to the House and
stated that he used‘ the word usurper in
a legal and technical sense.

The resolution of suspension was
withdrawn, and Walker took his seat as
if nothing had happened.

Rochester, N. Y., Feb. 19.—The
Grand Opera House which was valued
at $75,000, was destroyed by fire at 4
o’clock this morning. The fire is be-
lieved to have been caused by a gas ex—
plosion. The fire gained headway with
great rapidity and at one time it'looked
as though the fire would be one of the
most disastrous that has occurred in
this city in years. Adjoining the Opera
House is the Windsor, a $50,000 struc-
ture. This was badly damaged, but
was saved from total destruction by the
hard work of the firemen. The com-
pany was playing at the Grand, filling
a two week’s engagement. The con.-
tents of the box oflice were saved with
difficulty, but nothing else was taken
from the house. A lineman was badly
injured, part of a brick wall falling on
him. This is the third big fire in this
city in four days, and there is consider-
able excitemcnt in consequence.

FAIRFIELD, FEE. 18—Lieut.— F. G. Bar-
ton, V. C. R. E. ., has brought suit for
$1,000 against Miss Agnes. Murray, the
rich and eccentric spinster who resides
011 Grcefield Hill,‘ adjoining the mag-
nificent summer residence
Frederick Bronson, Secretary of the
New York Coaching Club. The
charges are that Miss Murray set 'her
dogs upon Lieut. Barton because he re—
fused to obey her orders. This so
enraged Miss Murray,|that she immedi-
ately called a pack of dogs and set
them 011 him. Before he had an oppor-
tunity to defend himself they had torn
both';his legs terribly. Miss Murray
stoodvby and seemed to enjoy the per-
formance.

Somers, Conn., Feb. 18.——A great
deal ‘of excitement has been caused
here by the arrest of Guy Brewster,
charged with the burning of the barns
owned by his uncle, H. M. Brewster,
on Saturday night, Brewster occu-
pied the large barn on the Avery- farm
on Somers mountain, and the barn, in-
cluding its contents, six cows, a bull,
hogs, etc., was entirely destroyed, at a
loss of about $1,500. There was no 'in-
surance 011 the place, the policy having
recently expired. 9 It is claimed that
there is strong evidence against the

accused, as he was seen in the neigh- ’

borhood a short time before the barn
was discovered to be on fire. He has
been arrested on suspicion and will be
held for trial.
