He is in full campaign dress, and the picture is a vivid reminder of the events of a quarter of a century ago. If Governor Hill had only said to Governor Bulkeley what the Governor of North Carolina said to the Governor of South Carolina all this difficulty would have been avoided. Our Gover- nor no doubt would have quoted the Carolina Governor had Hill given the chance. _ At the request of the Danbury au- thorities Governor Bulkeley has issued a requisition on Gov.

The Meriden Journal astonished its readers the other day by the statement that “Court Windermere, No. 7,282, A. O.

Last evening Photographer F. E. Readman was agreeably surprised by his friends and neighbors, at his resi- dence on Wilton avenue. The party, about thirty in number, indulged in so— cial festivities, until about 10 o’clock, when a splendid collation was served, after which the social pastimes were resumed. The party broke up at a late hour, all voting a good time. Savs the New York Rec order—Con- necticut politicians are never behind- hand when an office is 'in view. The bill to appoint several new judges for the United States Circuit Court is not yet a law. It will not be in force until .six months after its approval by the President, yet the Hartford politicians are already organizing delegations to ' push one of their town lawyers into a necticut. seat upon the bench. There are at the present 210 locomo- idated road and its branches. Ten of these are undergoing repairs at‘the shops. Mrs. O’Shea will get her aunt’s money, after all, and thus Mr. Parnell’s bride will not come to him penniless. But Mr. Parnell did not need Mrs. O’Shea’s fortune, as he has avery com- fortable one of his own. An original pension certificate has been issued‘to Bridget Hopkins, widow of James Hopkins, of Norwalk, through the Washington pension agency of M. L.

While Norwalk has enjoyed an excep- tional immunity from fires it is well to be prepared for war in a time of peace and nothing should be left undone that may contribute to the safety of the borough. ___, An Italian woman named Cosena Lacore believed herself and two child— ren deserted by her husband, so she proceeded to provide for her children by attempting to drown herself in the Quinipiac- river, near Fair Haven. When she found the water was shallow, she pushed her head into the mud, showing a degree of persistence which if diregted toward living for her child- ren would have proved very effective. Mr. Arthur Paddock, the italented young draughtsman whose water colors adorn some of our horse cars, will leave town about the first of May, to accept a position in the-office of the celebrat- ed arehiteCts, McKim, White & Mead, on Broadway. Mr. Paddock is a man who is clever and quick-witted enough to take advantage of every opportunity to improve in his art, and he has great natural ability. We are sure that the way is now open to him to rise rapidly. Mr. Thornton Smith has been placed in charge of the Lawn Tennis Depart- ment of A. G. Spalding and Bros., in New York. These gentlemen could hardly have found a better man for the place, and weexpect to see Mr. Smith make a great success. He is an ex- pert in all matters relating to sport, is a thoroughly courteous man, and has a 110st of friends in all parts of the country. , We know a number of deal- ers, who have already sent their con- gratulations to the Messrs. Spalding upon the acquisition of Mr. Smith.

WASHINGTON, MARCH 4th, ’91 . DEAR GAZETTE: Congress expired at high noon, in quite an orderly and becoming man- ner, with all the appropriation bills passed. Senator Platt succeeded, by persistent and almost desperate effort in getting copyright bill through with— out the embarrassing Sherman amend- ment. It has tersely been said that this bill simply exacts the Mosaic law—— “thou shalt not steal.” The French Spoliation amendment also, got through, and our large number of Nor— walk and other Connecticut claimants, now stand a chance of getting the long deferred payments due theirancestors. The 'Lockw00d and Kellogg and other heirs of Norwalk will receive‘ahand- some plum. , The usual votes of thanks were tender— ed‘ Vice President Morton and Speaker Reed. The latter’s vote was carried amid wild demonstrations of opposi— tion on the democratic. side and with vociferous cheers by the republicans. Mr. Morton’s and Mr. Reed’s valedic- tories were sincere and in the best of taste. Especially true was this of Speaker Reed. His allusion to the turbulent faction that has so hotly op- posed him was as follows : “Toward those who have opposed what the majority of the House have desired we can have no unkindly or personal feeling. Whoever offers bat- tle to old convictions and faiths must expect battle, and the vigor of the re; sistance must always bear some pro- portion to the vigor of the onset.” ——-—-——090 Dr. l"un.—Ustgne’s Lecture. The Second Methodist Church was filled last evening with an "audience ea- ger to hear thé'flfine address and see the accompanying stereoscopic views pre- sented by Rev. Dr. George VanAlstyne, entitled “From Dublinto Pompeii.” . Organist Ferris played a few good old airs until 8, and then Dr. Van A1- styne, to use his own words, “attacked the audience from the rear,” in a leo- ture that was delightful in its distinct- ness of enunciation and the culture of its language. The grand old cathedrals of Europe, monuments to the power of the Church and the devotion of "the people, in the Old World, were reproduced with fine effect. and elicited an occasional mur- mur of applause. Great abbeys and palaces in London and in Edinburgh, beautiful Swiss scenery, the cities of Rotterdam and Amsterdam, and the pe- culiar boat-bridges, Venice, with its dreaminess and its memories of former cruelties, Mount Vesuvius, where Dr. Van Alstyne pointed his umbrella _in place of a dirk at the too importunate would~be guide, and Pompeii—magni- ficent old Pompeii—these and many other scenes passed in pleasant review. The audience were sorry indeed when the lecturer said “good-night,” and there is no doubt that a repetition would bring out as large a gathering as did this one. —————<+>——-— ——~ —— 1"(li1‘ficld School Trouble. The Fairfield school board met Tues- day and again discussed the question of paying the salary of Miss Abbott, the young school teacher who attract- ed so much attention a short time ago. Justice Brothwell still refuses to sign the certificate endorsing Miss Abbott’s management of the school, and as he is the school visitor for that district, the salary cannot be paid. . Miss Abbott has not received any salary during the past two months, and will probably sue the town for her wages. At the last meeting Justice Brothwell moved that the secretary be empowered to sign the certificate, but as that official had not visited the school during the two months in question, the board decided that he could not certify to its proper management. No action was conse- quently taken. The question of paying the expenses of pupils attending out-of-town schools was not brought up.

Murray, of Adiron- dack fame, and known throughout the country as a writer, lecturer and poet, has again secured control of the old homestead and farm in Guilford, which he was compelled to dispose of some years ago on account of financial re- verses; The farm was purchased about two months ago by Samuel W. Gledhill, of this city, who intended to make it what it was formerly—one of the finest stock farms in New England. After Mr. Gledhill came in possession of the property, negotiations were opened in the interest of Rev. Mr. Murray for buying back the farm, and Saturday the deeds conveying the old homestead where the ancestors of Mr. Murray had lived were turned over to him. It is the intention of 'Mr. Murray to pass the remainder of his life on the farm with his wife and children, and to pursue lit- “ erary work.~—[Bridgeport Standard. _House, the AMENDMENT VETOED. naiszN KEELER RETURNs T1IE O’RElLLY llIEAS URE "’ITHOU’.‘ HIS APPROVAL. ‘ To Levi Warner, Esq. Clerk of' the Borough of Norwalk, Dear Sir: At the regular meeting of the Court of Burgesses heldon Mon- day evening, March 2, 1891, the follow- ing amendment to the Borough by-laws, was introduced and passed by a vote of 4 ayes and 2 noes : Be it ordered by the Court of Bur- gesses of the Borough of Norwalk : That, Section 4, Chapter 10, of the by— laws of the Borough be changed by striking out, in lines 8 and 9 the words, ‘ ‘and he is further authorized to ap- point subject to the approval of” and insert the words, “and the Court of Burgesses may appoint.” By virtue of the authority vested in me as Warden, by the Charter of the Borough, and after careful considera- tion I have returned to and do hereby return the said proposed amendment to the Hon. Court of Burgesses without my approval. My reasons therefor are briefly these: The whole charge of the Fire Depart- ment is and properly Should be under the direct control of the Chief Engi- neer of that department; the Fire Alarm system is a very important ad- junct of the Fire Department and should be under the Chief’s direct charge and control; and he should necessarily be allowed, as he now is, to make the appointment of Superintend- ent of said system subject to the ap- proval of your Court of Burgesses. I believe the authority to make this appointment should not be takenout of his hands without some grave public reasons, and in the discussion of it so far there has been none given, and that it would tend to work great harm to the efficiency of the service of this do- partment which now it would seem, in that particular, could not be improved. It would also in my opinion, establish a very bad precedent so to do. Therefore, I trust that in your fur- ther and more mature consideration of this matter, that this my veto of the proposed change'in the by—laws will be sustained. ' Respectfully yours, EDWIN O. KEELER, Warden of the Borough of Norwalk. Norwalk, March 4th, 1801. ———<-.->———_.._._ ONE MORE REQUISITJ. 0X. [To-day’s New York Herald.) Colbert is ahorse thief.

MORE ABQUT IRIMILTON. The more George- U. Hamilton’s record is looked into the more shady’it seems to be. All of the facts in his crooked career obtainable up to date, were published exclusively in the DAILY GAZETTE of Tuesday. This morning, however, it was learned that just prior to his departure from town he obtained ,a ten dollar violin on credit from Mr. Hendee. It is proba- ble that he thought of the power of music when exiled from home and friends, or that he could fiddle himself into the good graces of GovernorHill . Before his final appearance in this sec- tion he forgot to settle a doctor’s bill of $50. The fact that the Security Company became responsible for Hamilton’s good conduct to the railroad company as well as to the United States Express Company, the bonds being $500,t0 each Company, will serve to inaugurate something of a lively piu'suit of the offender, although for all practical pur- poses it is immaterial whether he is in New York or Canada.
