Scotland, if any American wants to
know how valuable the McKinley tariff
bill is likely to prove to this country,
he has only to go ahead and hear Eur o-

it is feared, will prove fatal.;

A_ Danbury Man “Drowned.

A boatman named Reynolds, while
pulling in the anchor of his boat at
Lake Waccabuc late yesterday, fell into
the Water and disappeared. Divers
went to work immediately to recover
the body, but after several hours hunt
were unable to find it. An underground
cave was discovered at the bottom of
the lake and explored for a depth
of thirty feet'without finding its end.
It is supposed that the body is lost in
this watery cave. Further effort will
be madeto recover it.

The Fine Arts.

The Pittsburg, Pa. News has the fol-
lowing to: say anent some choice speci-
mens of art work executed by Mrs. Du
Bois, of New York, nee Nina Comstock
of Norwalk: _

Down' in this busy city of ours in the
art rooms— of Roenigh Bros, ever since
the firstof the month,have been exhib-
ited the works of some of the best Amer-
ican and European artists consisting of
“Hand Painted,” “Needle Work” and
“Loom Work. ” One prominent firm
of the East sent some lovely specimens
of work, but slyly remarked that of
course it was not of their very best work.
But modestly a woman’s message "came
with her offerings, saying it was some of
her heart’s work, and she not only won
warm words of appreciation from the
many visitors, but a number of her
choicest pieces of handiwork were sold
and will adorn .some of . 0111‘
This woman, who
has so quietly worked her self
iqto our estimation is Mrs. N. Com-
stocké Du Bois, of’ the Comstock Art
School, New York. She is a woman of
ability and is at- the head of the most

 

successful art school in the Metropoli-

tan City. The tapestries sent herewere
examples of Mrs. Du Bois’ art, and
when she comes to this city in the fall,

RlllLROllD RUMORS

The ConsolidatedIs Four-Tracks.

 

' Is the Parallel to: be Bought?

The Bridgeport Neiws of this morn-
ing gives this new hatch _of railroad
rumors,now afloatz—ji— ' ' l .

As the four tracking operations 'of
the- Consolidated R. ‘R. Co. near the
city, speculation on I'wh'at plans th‘ey
lwill adopt to get through the city is
upon the mar ease. '

It 18 said on excellent authority th at
the Consolidated have figured it out
thatit will cost them $2, 000, 000 to get
through the city with their four tracks.
This 15 a pretty big amount even for
such awealthy corporation, and it is
expected to be sufficient to cause a sus-

‘ pension of operations when the gates of

this city are reached. Before them
there will be a great undertaking, un-
like any that will confront them on the
entire route of the road. '
Directors of the road residing in this
city, have given it out incidentally that
the entire length of the tracks in this
city will be elevated to such a height

that at street crossings all manner of

vehicles can pass under them. .

A rumor has been current for several
days that the Consolidated people think
that they can get through the city some-
what cheaper b y not having the four
tracks. It further says that they have
been worried considerably over the ac-
tion of the railroad, commissioners. in
approving the layout of the New York,
Bridgeport 85 Eastern R. R. When the
new road' 1s built, which will certainly
be before a very distant day, it will un-
doubtedly be a formidable rival to the
N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R., taking away

much“ of their business.,
_' The. road, it is also. rumored, will
make an attempt new, as a last resort,

to buy the layout of the new road to
keep out opposition, _ Then they will

run a track around the north of the

city to transport freight. This will
save them money as it is to their ad-
vantage to buy out the other road if
possible.

A News man last night asked H. R.
Parrot, president of the N. Y, B. & E.
R. R,, whether or not the Consolidated
had attempted to buy out his company.
He said he had not'heard anything about
it. He gave the reporter to under-
stand that if that was their scheme it
was a futile one, as the new road was a
thing of the near future.

The contract entered into between
the Long Island, Housatonic and other
roads for a Boston route, will injure
the Consolidated. That the company
will not have such a monopoly of traffic
in the future as in the past is one thing
certain. Many people will welcome the
new roads. '

Foure-Tracklng Operations.‘
The Consolidated road has withdrawn
its condemnation proceedings to acquire
the property owned by William C.

. Stewart, of Green’s Farms, that gentle-

man having arrived at a satisfactory
'Mr.
Stewart’s large white residence and the
adjacent grounds are situated 'On the
north side of the track. The railroad
wanted a slice off his territory, reach-
ing within a few feet of his house. _ Mr.
Stewart asked for heavy damages, but
the railroad company refused to pay
his price, and brought condemnation

, proceedings.

Green’s Farms is now the central
point cf activity in the'four-tracking
operations, and a large force of men
are at work there pushing the improve-
ments along rapidly. The injunction

- brought by Austin Jennings against the

railroad put\a temporary stop to the
work, but now everything is progress-
ing smoothly. The new depot at South-
port is rapidly approaching completion.
It will have a covered platform 200 feet
long. Four-tracking has also been re-
sumed 1n Southport at the northern
end of the town.

The foundation for another depot in
Fairfield is completed. The structure

will be located on the north side of the

track about 100 feet west of the present
depot. Like the new 'Southport depot
it will be used forl southbound trains
only. Work on the superstructure will
commence soon.

 

Do You Knew/Him?

- Frank Williams of the S'éventh Con-
necticut, Company F. was taken pris-
oner before Richmand, Oct 1,1864, and
was inLibby prison and in Salisbury.
He writes: “I am disabled, and a poor

THE SOLDIERS’ HOME.

Mr. Byington Asked to Examlne the
.Affalrs of the lnstltutlon Hlmoelf.

 

Charges having appeared 1n the Nor-
walk GAZETTE, concerning the conduct
of the Soldiers’ Home at Noroton by

ing of the board of managers held Sat-
urday, that the Hon. A. H. Byington,
proprietor of the GAZETTE, be request-
ed to make an examination of the
Home, with reference to the improper
disposal of property, pictures, etc., and
to make the result of his examination
as public as he has his charges. It was
also voted that General Averill, the m-

- spector of National and State soldiers’

homes, be requested to investigate the
management of the home during his
visit to Connecticut, when making his
annual tour- of inspection, and to report
to the board any abuses of the inmates
or any mismanagement of the home or
hospital. —-Far.mer.

We have received no other-intima-
tion than the above of the rather, as it
seems to us, mistaken courtesy of in-
viting the proprietor of the GAZETTE’s
personal inspection of the Home, as
It will,
nevertheless, be. a pleasure to put into
the hands of the board all the sources
of ouririformaition and to aid the mem-
bers thereof in ieveryway to get at the
bottom facts in regard to the grave ac-
cusations made against the Munson
management, not by us, but by reput-
able members of Douglas Fowler Post,
G. ~A. R., and who'profess to have. the
proofs at hand to substantiate their
serious charges. We think the editor
of the New York Recorder ought also
to be invited to participate, as in the
Recorder’s article, copied into these
columns yesterday, even more serious
charges than any made through the
GAZETTE, are put before the public and
evidently procured from some source
having a knowledge Of what was being
charged. It is needless to add that no
one' will :be more' delighted than 5Mr.

' Byington, if at the end of an open,hon-

est and thorough investigation of the
Soldiers' Home management, all these
charges of scandalous conduct now ex-
citing the public mind and indlgnation,
shall be found to be entirely baseless
and no one will strive harder to get
such vindication before the people. By
all means then, let the invest1gation be

1 Saturday’s Storm.
(From the Danbury News.)

It was an astonishing sight for the
25th day of July, 1891—or any other
year, for the matter of that.

The hail came in a bewildering cloud
like whirls of snow in a fierce winter
storm. Pedestrians could hardly see
which way they were goingcven if they
kept their eyes open,which they did not
do on account of the fierce assault of
the sharp, swift hail upon their faces.
It looked very much as if some atmos-
pheric machinery,impossible of repair,
had been broken, and it was a ques-
tion of a very few moments when the
heavens would roll up as a scroll, and
the earth pass away.

A case of hats in front of Aug. Hoyt’s
store on Main street, was picked up
and carried with the wind as though it
were a tOy balloon.

Holbrook & Taylor had a large show
case on the sidewalk in front of their
store. It is not there now. The wind
struck it with full force and it was
thrown violently to the ground and was
shattered into a thousand fragments.

An empty freight car in front of John
W. Green’s factory was lifted bodi‘ 137
from the track and thrown down an
embankment. The car was but slight
ly damaged.

An- immense tree on the Lynes farm
was blown over. It fell acrbss the New
York and New England railroad track
and obstructed trains for several hours.
A gang of men were set to work and the
tree was finally dismembered and the
track cleared. '

Judge Lynde Harrison, since his con-
troversy with Editor Porter of the
Hartford Post, has given himself to
speculating on the successor of Gen.
Hawley in the;United States Senate. In
an interview he is quoted as follows:

“As to Sam .Fessenden and the United
States senatorship, all I have to say is
that if Mr. Fessenden wishes to be a
UnitedStates senator, I‘most certainly
think he is entitled to it and ought to
have it. It is true I am a warm person-
al friend of Mr. Fessenden. I have no
knowledge of his having any such in?
clination.”

A gentleman, who is intimately ac-
quainted with Fairfield’s bright legal
light,~ said to 9. Bridgeport News rej-
porter yesterday: “I see that a" little
boom' is being started for Sam Fessen-
dian, but I very much doubt if he wants
the position. His law practice is worth
far more to him than the seat in the
Senate at Washington; Yet, he may dc;
sirethe honor and will take it and give

 

his‘cblleagues a chance - in the" busy
courts of Fairfield county.”

Dr. Munson, it was voted at the meet-.

1 Editor .A. H. Byington, of the DAILY
GAZETTE, Norwalk, celebratedhis sixty-
fifth birthday, Thursday. If' one
should meet Mr. Byington, to-day, for
the first time and look upon his rotund
and ruddy face. hear his cheery laugh
and see his springy step, he would take
twenty years from his age.
ington is the youngest-old man in the
profession and his heart' rs as warm and
the grasp of his hand is as hearty. as
when at the front in ’63 he cheered
many’a discouraged ConnectiCut sold
for when suffering from- wounds and
fever. May the editor 'of the GAZETTE
live to see many more birthdays and
mayhis paper grow to be as honored
as its owner. —-—Ansonia Sdntinel.

It Pays to Advertise In the Gazette.

Last evening Ex-Senator E. J. Hill
rushed into the office of the “hustling
DAILY GAZETTE” to give it an impor-
tant item. It was important. Some
days since Mr. Hill had advertised in
its “for sale” columns sundry houses
in Wilton. A lady saw the adv. in the
GAZETTE, as she told him, and careful-
ly and admiringly read it, .(for it was
well and attractively written as all
advs. should be,) and yesterday she
went to Wilton~ examined the property,
and selected one for purchase, and la st
evening she called at Mr. Hill’s office
and planked down the cash. No won~
der Mr. Hill thought it paid him to ad-
vertise in the GAZETTE,
