Mr. O’Reilly said last evening that
the GAZETTE evidently had it in for
him because he refused to loan $25 to
one of the editors some weeks ago. The

think the consideration worth $25 and
so the money remained in his pocket.

That it seems that the young Woman
who passed The entrance examination

That the diamond market is reported

Moonlight Sail.
Young Yalensian F. A. Hill flew
around yesterday and organized one of
the most delightful moonlight sailing

'hereabouts for a long time. He en-
gaged the little steamer Medea and at
8 o’clock the lines were cast off at
South N orwalk and soon the following
joyous party of fair girls and brave
boys, were heaving on the bosom of
the bay and sound. Among the num—
ber were the Misses Laura. Ewing of
Iowa; Annie Cole, Lulu Bedell, Mame
Stuart, Edith Street, Elizabeth Lock-
wood, Alice Mallory, Alice Bisland, of
Mt. VernongGra-ce Millard, Alice Chol-
well, Mabel Vanderhoef, Bessie Holmes,
Fannie Leonard and Mabel Miller,
Mrs. Howard Earle and Mrs. Gross-
beck.

Amongthe gents were F. A. Hill,
James Knapp, David and LeGrand
Raymond, Samuel Weed, Everett
Loundes, Charles Miller, Wm. 2G.
Thomas Jr., Col. Roberts, Dr. Acton,
Buck. Lockwood, Frank Beatty, How-
ard DeForest Earle, J. Arthur Pinneo,
Thornton Prowitt, F. St. John Lock-
wood, 2d, Rafael Valiente, and Erwin

The Medea steamed direct for Bridge-
port where the young people visited
Seaside Park and those who wished
partook of supper, and then sailed

South Norwalk again. At Bridgeport
the boys encountered a street piano on
wheels, engineered by two crank turn.
ing Italians. A contract was closed
for the asthmatic machine to go on
board-the Medea and make it pleasant
for the party during the return trip. It
is said the poor Italians were utterly

Nelson Taylor, Jr., is‘said to have
come on board at South Norwalk, but
finding his “best girl” missing, leaped
ashore at the risk of life and limb, after
the boat had cast off, and hastened to
her home, and Was forced to remain
there on account of her temporary in-
disposition, and thus lose one of the
most delightful outings of his life.

The young people reached their homes
‘in the “wee sma’ hours” of this morn-

tering away, like a whole barrel'full of
monkeys, about the toe utterly utter
good time they had on the excursion.

"Wé Go 3.;fl‘lshlng.;"
-. Returning late lastfnight, from our
first afternoon off for a blackfishing

trip in over 30 years,”we found to our .
dismay that, the’face’tious “Fritz” had '

invited all our friend to meet at the
GAZETTE office last e ning toget their
fish. We regretted t , e disappointment
any may have felt, because we really
had the fish, as any one will have, who
goes down the bay __.with" Capt. O.:S.
Clark in his clipper “Thl:ee Brothers.”
It happened this way; .001. Wood, now
our good Uncle Samuel’s faithful con-
sul at Dundee, Scotland, and for long
years previously Chief of the Consular
Bureau at the State Department at
Washington, who prides himSelf upon
his expertness as a fisheIman—a sort of
professional-as it were, challenged the
DAILY GAZETTE scribe to go blackfish-
ing withhim, if we could endure defeat.
We at once accepted the unequal con-
test, feeling that theicredit of the paper
and the reputation of the town were in
a measure at stake. iClark soon had us
on the fishing grounds he alone so well
knows how to select and the fierce
struggle began. Of course the GAZETTE
scribe was handicappicd by a knowledge
of the depressing fact that Wood had
hauled muscalonge from the St. Law-

John’s, cod from Newfoundland, mack—
erel from Cape Cod and Nantucket,
blue fish from Bannegat, black bass
from the Potomac, Ibrook trout from
Maine to the top-most cascades of the
Alleghanies, shad from the Delaware,
tarpon from the waters of Florida and
red-snapper from tlie Gulf of Mexico.
Thence across the'ofcean, he has hauled
sole from the friths of Ireland and

Scotland,caught trout in Killarney and ~

Loch-Lomon, tarbot in the North Sea,

sardines in southern France, roach in
Switzerland, herriilg in Spain, bull-
heads in the aqueous streets of Venice,

and carp in the Rhone and the Rhine.

To contest for oulr shy and modest
blackfish with such,’ an angler of world-
wide fame, meant business and the GA-
ZETTE scribe for in few brief hours
dropped all anxieti'eh about the‘ ‘hustling '
DAILY” and appliec himself to the bus-
iness in hand. All sinking his person-
ality entirely onto sight and only act-

ing and speaking as one upon whom
the honor and reputation of our town

was staked, we point with pride to the
fact that the GAZETTE took the first
fish, then the biggest blackfish, then
broke the record of all the crowd by
taking two fish at a time and finally
“scooping” the crowd by catching nine
times more fish than our fierce contest-
ant, the great American Piscatorial EX-
pert. Like Washington, when a boy,

we cannot tell a lie, and so won’t at-
tempt to state the exact number, the
DAILY GAZETTE stood credited with at

the. end of the contest, but stand ready
to prove by a half score of reliable wit-

nesses that it actually took a horse and
wagon to bring our fish in the custody
of Capt. Clark to our home. Moral,get
the Three Brothers and Capt. Clark, if
you want fish.

STEELTON, Pa, July 18.-—A committee of

to Superintendent Felton of the Pennsyl-

scale demands anincrease of from 20 to 25
per cent. over the reduction made last

in the several departments of the works:

“A‘scale of wages having been presented
to the management of this company to be
enforced under the direction of the Amal-
gamated Assoei tion of Iron and Steel
Workers notice is hereby given that no
such scale or organization will be recog-
nized in any way by thislcompany."

pany—Shunk, employe of the Merchant

and Murphy, who were recently dis-
charged because they were members of

scheme are confident of its success, and
will sell fresh air to any part of the city,
and remove the impure atmosphere at a
very low cost a square foot. The work of
laying the mains will begin at once, and
in all probability by next summer the
company will be ready to supply the fresh
air in cool blasts. ‘In the winter hot air
will be sent through the pipes.

ties of mica have been entcl ed at some
of their custom houses at grvwly unrler- L

One firm of importers of mica in Schen-
ectady, N. Y., have already been called to
account, and $10,000 worth of cut mica has
been seized there by 0. P. Ames, special
agent of the United States Treasury De-
partment.

Tne mica was to be used for electrical
purposes and was shipped from a mine
car Ottawa. It entered American terri-
tory at Blehford, Vt. There and at other
ports the entries were made and the al-
. tagged offenses of undervaluation commit-

The officials at Richford not being min-
eral experts, they were not able to form
an Opinion respecting its true value, and

the importers. The American. officers.
claim that duty was paid on only 50 per
cent. of the mica’s value.

These officers say they now have claws
to a systematic scheme to defraud the
customs, have complete proof of the work-
ing of the smugglers, and that many more
seizures will be made withlna few days.

Our Gold and Silver Product.

WASHINGTON, July 18.—-The Census
Oflice issued today a bulletin of the pro-
duction of gold and silver in the United
States during the calendar year 1889. After
dwelling upon the great difliculty of col-
looting the statistics, the following figures
are given:

Gold, 1,590,869 ounces; United States
coining value, $32,886,734.

Silver, 51,354,851 ounces; United States
coining value, $66,396.988. ‘

Total United States coining value $99,-
283,782.

In gold this is nearly 28 per cent. of the
World’s product, and in silver 41 per cent.

These figures are substantially the same
as those published in The World Almanac
for 1891, seven months before Mr. Porter
issued his bulletin.

AN LTALIAN RlOT FEARED.

. Gang of Half Starved Laborers
Clumorlng for Money or Food.
- DOBES FERRY, July 18.—-A gzt- .g of wild,
half starved Italian labor. is is creating
terror in this quiet village. For the pas“.
1 week the Italians have been lying i'llv
around the streets in a fearful state of do-
pravity. They can speak but. little Eng-
lish, and with outstretched hands they
wildly exclalm: “Want money or work.
Are starving.” . . .

TWO months ago a - syndicate: known as
the Dobbs Ferry Land and Improvement
Company purchased the ,Courtlandt
Palmer estate, near Dobbs Ferry, and
laid the property out in blocks and streets.
Andrew 0. Field , and Assemblyman
Charles P. McClelland are the officers of
the company. The Italians Were placed
upon the property to work in grading and
laying out the streets.

They claim that they have not been
paid for their services. It is alleged that
they have nothingto‘eat but berries and
green fruit, which they gather in the
fields. There are grave fears that their
sufferings will cause them to make a raid
on the citizens if some step is not taken to
secure to them their money or if they are
~not fed. The village authorities have
sworn in several extra policemen to patrol
the village streets day and night.

The Italians .wait around the depot all
day watching and waiting for some one to
come and bring them their money that
they may leave the town.

 

Contracts With Catholic Indian Schools.

WASHINGTON. July 18.—The contracts for
educating- Indian children in' Catholic
schools for the current year are being
made by the Indian office directly with the
schools instead of through the Bureau of
Catholic Indian Missions, as heretofore.
The amount awarded to the Catholic
Bureau for this purpose last year was
$360,000. The amount given to the
individual Catholic schools this year
will aggregate more than $400,000.
In a letter to Father Chapelle, Vice-Presl-
dent of the Catholic Mission Bureau, Com-
missioner Morgan gives the reasons
which influenced his action. He com-
plains of the Bureau for inspiring an
articlevstating that the trouble with the
Moqui Indians was due to the Commis-
sioner’s pigheaded opposition to the con-
tract schools, and admitted to be the ork
ofa jperson dismissed from the Indian
Bureau." Because this man was not. dis-
charged from the Catholic Bureau Mr.
Morgan declines to enter int) contract
with it for the education of the Indian
youth.
