Senator Hearst’s death increases still further the startling record of mortali- ty in the 5151} Congress. Saturday the House paid the honors of eulogy to the eleventh member of that body who has died since its term of service began in March, 1889. M1. Hearst is the third member the Senate has lost during the same period. As Mike Fitzgerald, our tree scrap- ing artist, observed the putting in of the big single panes of glass into the lower sash of what is to be Grace church’s rectory, with true Irish wit he remarked : “Sure they’ve gotthe lights in neow, and I suppose they’ll soon have the livers in there too.” We read that at the Earles’ Mu1ray Hill Hotel, the other day, a po1ter v ent- ed his opinion in this wise concerning a gentleman not unknown to fame: “There goes the solemnest and dismal- ist gent as ever stopped at this ’ouse. I don’t b’lieve he ever knowed what it was to larf. ” The reference was to Mr. Samuel L. Clemens. Father Slocum took Builder Theo. Brush to Washington last week and showed him Congress under a full head of steam, the public buildings and grounds and the thousand and one en- ticing and entertaining sights to a stranger at the National Capital. Friend Brush came hom.e as tickled as a boy with his first pair of red topped boots. Mrs. Wm.

Miss Esther Westerfield, forelady at the Mcrwin street shirt manufactory, retired from work at that place on Sat- urday last, and is succeeded by Mrs. M. L. Chichester, assistant forelady, her position being filled by Miss M. L. Snifi'en. Miss Westerfield has been employed at this factory for the past 35 years, twentyifive of which she has held the position of fore-lady. On Saturday she was surprised by the ladies under her charge presenting her with an elegant Turkey morocco writ- ing tablet, with oxidized silver trim- mings, and containing a gold mounted pen-holder and pencil and choice writ- ing materials. In addition to the above there was a triple mirror, oxidized sil- ver mounted, and of French plate glass. Both presents were splendid testimonials of the high esteem in which Miss Westerfield is held by her fellow employees. With tears in her eyes she expressed her surprise and gratification at the gifts, and said that her heart was too full to give voice to the kindly feelings she ”had toward all who had been under her charge, and hOpcd for the same happy relations towards her successor. ers this evening.

The Ladies’ Association connected with the Congregational church have a quilting bee 011 Wednesday afternoon in the chapel, commencing at 2 o’clock. It is rumomd that Expressman Brun- dage is soon to bring to Norwalk one of the fair daughters of Brewsters, N. Y., as his wife. His many friends here are ready to offer congratulations. It is understood that the New York, Bridgeport & Eastern Railroad Co. have applied to the railroad commis- sioners for an approVal of their layout. A hearing will be had in Bridgeport on March 24th. The proposed layout is forty-five miles long, and it is said has not a single grade crossing. Joseph F. Reiff, the Bridgeport res— taurateur who was struck and instantly killed at South Norwalk, Thursday night, as reported in the GAZETTE, had told a friend that when the. time came for him to quit this life he wanted to go so suddenly that he would not have time to realize the agency that caused his death. Judge Thayer Thursday, gave a de- cision that makes a precedent. In a suit against the New England road for damages for the death of Edward Hale the defendant entered a plea in abate- ment on the ground that the suit was not brought within a year from the date of injury. The plaintiff demurred and Judge Thayer sustained the de- murrer. _ At the evening service in St. Paul’s church yesterday a large number of the former parishioners of Rev. Dr. Childs from the Congregational church were present and listened with deep interest to a most delightful and able discourse. The Doctor remains in town to-day, the guest of 001. F.

An Evidence of ll'eakness. Every established local newspaper receives subscriptions from large cities which puzzle the publisher, but which the New York Times explains as follows: “A wholesale merchant in the city who became rich in the business says his rule is that whenever he sells a bill of goods on credit. he immediately sub- scribes for the local newspaper of his debtor. So long as the customer ad- vertised vigorously, the merchant was satlsfied, but as soon as he began to contract his advertising space the fact was taken as evidence that there was trouble ahead and the creditor invaria- bly went for the debtor. The merchant said that the man who is too poor to make his business known is too poor to do business. The withdrawal of an ‘ad’ is evidence of weakness ”which. whole- sale men are not slow to act upon." Regular meeting of the village fath- ' Mrs. H. F.

Charles H". Eastjj Emecutes :lll Old Threat: Yesterday forenoon before the num-. erous bells in the “City of Churches” had fairly ceased assembling worship; ers, Charles W. Easty shot himself through the heart in a Brooklyn under- taker’s shop, 'and died tvvo hours after‘ ward in the Brooklyn hospital. Easty was a printer by occupation, and had friends and acquaintances throughout Connecticut, including this section. _He had frequently threatened to take his own life but it was, thought by his family that he lacked sufficient nerve for that purpose. Yesterday’s tragedy, however, brought about by the absolute refusal of his wife to live with him any longer, despite his ap- parent determination to live abetter life, shows that no matter how sweet 1% may be to the average man there. are bounds to human endurance. Mr. Easty was 33 years old. He was married 12 years ago to Adelaide L. Wood in Brooklyn, and moved soon afterward to Hartford, where he worked on the Courant. He was a vestryman in St. Thomas’s church, choirmaster, secretary of the Hartford Typographical Union and manager of excursions. He had four children, the eldest of whom is 9 years old. He was highly respected in Hartford until his relations with a woman who broke up his family became publicly known. _ ___ . L +>——————- -1 Bold Robbery. That young scamp, William Siegel, who is believed to have induced the Rowe boy to steal his father’s money, was caught in another act of thieving rascality late Saturday night. Just after eleven o’clock, as Barber-Conrad Engel, of Main street, was closing his shop, Siegel appeared and requested to have his hair cut. Engel 'at first declined as it was so late and his shop was emptied of customers for the first 'time in all day. Siegel urged it as a special favor and seated himself in the chair. Engel got out his human head lawn mower and soon mowed a narrow swath clear around Siegel’s skull, just above his ears. He then stepped into the next room for a moment, but hear- ing a movement in Siegel’s chair, hur- ried back and at once discovered that his cash drawer in front of Siegel had been robbed of some twelve dollars. He hotly charged Siegel with the theft and the latter as stoutly denied it. “Well, we can soon settle it,” said En- gel, “for I shall search you.” At this the young villain relented and gave up a ten-dollar note hid in his pants and about a dollar and a half in his pock- ets, and so piteously begged for mer- . 037' that the tender hearted barber let him go with only a severe tongue lash- ing. The State Reform School is just the place for this young villain. +»——— Str uck by the 0m 3. A Norwalk gentleman who arrived here at 8.11 Saturday evening, had something of an experience to relate. When his train was between Yalesville and Wallingford, and under good head— . way, it came to a stop suddenly but not so suddenly as to shake 11p the passen- gers. Those in the rear coach ran to the door and saw a man lying between the tracks, about 25 feet to the rear of the train, with arms and legs extended. He was picked up and carried on a stretcher to Yalesville. When he re- covered consciousness he gave his name as Frank Chandle1. He had a bad scalp wound, but otherwise appear- ed uninjured. The engineer said that Chandler appear ed to leap in front of the engine, but he contrived to stop the train almost within its length.

At 2 o’clock this morning the stable in rear of the Birdsall house, New Ca- naan, was burned to the ground, and with it four horses, a cow and some harness. Included, also, in the loss were five coaches belonging to Look- wood Brothers and a hearse, the prop- erty of Hall Brothers, the barn having been used for storage purposes by, these gentlemen. The total loss was about $6, 000, with an insu1ance of $200. on the coaches. Otheiwise the barn and contents we1e uninsured. Lon Marshall,a dissipated character, slept in the barn, but was not seen af— ter midnight, and it is believed he was burned to death. There seems to be no doubt that the fi1 e was of incendiary o1igin, and an inves- tigation has been started by the au- thorities.

Although this petition was circulated by Mr. Dudley, the inspira- tion came from the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, which had received complaints of instances of inebriation and the acquisition of a taste for alcohol in children through this means. ~Boston Transcript. Afraid of th 0- Truth . There were 3,413 votes counted in our late election which had on them the words “for governor.” And in the same counting several hundred other votes just like them were rejected be- cause they had “for governor” upon them. If all are counted no one was elected; if none are counted Mr. Mo1ris has a t1iumpl1ant majority. It goes without saying that they all should be tr eated alike. People living outside the State cannot believe that counters dared givevsuch different treatment to similar ballots. But these are the facts. And in face of this statement, which isunanswerable and a mere presenta- tion of fact, the democratic party d'e- clines to let the supreme court say whether the ‘for governor’ ballots were or wele not legal. Why does it fear this veiy simple act of justice? Is it afraid of the truth? Its attitude r ecalls Philip Welch’s‘ “story of the old color ed man on the witness stand. They asked him if he understood the nature of an- oath, but he couldn’t even unde1 stand their question until finally the judge said: “Sambo, do you know what will happen if you do not tell the truth?” A. li'ise Com-.81 The determination of the Republicans of the House to go about the DI oper busi— ness of the session and to leave the Dem- ocrats of the Senate to do as they please in the matter. is- commendable and fol- lows out the consistent and constitution— a1 line adopted from the first. Such a course will secure the approval of the poo 110, and if it fails the fault will not lie at t c d001 of the House. ~[BIldg1pml 15’ lamlar d.
