Hon. James H. Olmstead, that old
war horse of honest Democracy in
western Connecticut, fires this broad-
side at his party friends in Stamford,
and sounds the same notes of warning
that our best citizens of both parties
here in Norwalk have been uttering
and considering with apprehensive
alarm. He says :
“The writer has obtained the expen-
diture for the out-door poor for the last
year. They are $16,682.21, being,in-
stead of less than the year before,
$1,278.53 in excess. And the expendi-
ture for this last year for highways and
bridges is $29,820.21, which is also in
excess of last year by the sum of
$1,417.29.
“The tax-payers are having more bur-
dens placed upon their backs than
many of them will be able to carry,
and things are becoming more and
more oppress1ve every day. It is an
old adage that “it is the last straw that
breaks the camel’s back.” Well, is
not the camel’s back nearly broken ? _
“To the members of the Democratic
party, to which I belong, I wish to
state that the only hope of the party is
11] taking a decided stand at the com-
ing caucus in favor of reformation in
our town afi'airs.”

For Water Commissioner.
A friend and patron of the DAILY
GAZETTE urges apresentation of: the
name of the Hon. John D. Kimmey for
Water Commissioner. He is certainly
a man possessing many admirable quali-
ties for the position. So long as the
Borough continues its present system
ofallowing no compensation for this ser-
vice, it is mean he says, to invite men
like Messrs Beers and Merritt to make
the necessary sacrifice of their time,
which to them must needs be money,
while Mr. Kimmey can afford to give the
duties attention, and his well known
generous and enterprising interest in
our public afl‘ajrs, would no doubt in-
duce him to render our borough the
service that it so distressingly needs.

“And he shall give his angels charge
concerning thee, to keep thee in all thy
ways. " From these words of Holy
Writ the Rev. Mr. Watkins builded the
theme of his discourse yesterday morn-
of those messengers of the Father of all
to the children of men,—showing how,
from age to age, these winged attend-
ants of the Almighty had performed the
work He had given them to do ; and
aiming to dispel from the minds of men
entertained, that even the good of this
terrestrial abode ever become any part
of that celestial throng, i. e.—that
angels sang songs of joy on creation’s
morn, and their number is neither
added to nor taken from—that they are
the sanie “yesterday, to-day and for-
ever.” It was an earnest exhibition of
the solicitious feeling of this devoted
servant of Christ.
The Rev. Mr. Watkins leaves town
to-day for a brief and well-earned vaca-
tion, and during his absence, Dr. Clark,
a professor in the Middletown Theolog-
ical Seminary, will fill his place on
Sundays ;- and should any of the congre-
gation need spiritual comfort and con-
solation during the absence of the Rec-
upon the” Rev. Mr. Hallock, the Rector
of Trinity church, South Norwalk, who
will be as ready to give as they to ask.
Mr. Watkins announced yesterday
morning that the. ofi'ertory on the anni-
versary occasion,.towards the contem-
Pinafore.
To-night the Aborn Opera Company
give us good old Pinafore, the first and
best of all the Gilbert-Sullivan oper-
ettas. This is given in compliance with
the requests made by many of our citi-
zens, and the sale of tickets already en-
sures a good house for the accommodat—
ing singers. In it Aborn and Wooley
will be immense, as they were in Er-
minie and the other operas, while J ose-
phine and little Buttercup ‘will be as
delightful and delighting as they have
been throughout. The pianist playing
the operais a whole orchestra himself,
while the gentleman playing between
the acts is simply phenomenal.
The Progress of Four Tracking.
During the past week the cutting
down the grade in the rock cut in East
Norwalk of the road bed of the old
double track has been completed, and
some progress made in building the
long retaining wall. Whenthis wall is
completed the new tracks can be laid,
thus completing the four tracks be-
tween EastNorwalk and a pointa short -
distance west of the Greens Farms de-
pot. From'this point to the_Br1dge-
port city line much work remains to be
done, and it must be several months
before it is completed. ' .
The reducing of the grade in East
Norwalk rock cut, and the raising of it
both east and west, will enable passen-
er trains to make better time, and
rei ht trains to draw much heav1er
loadgs than heretofore.

This morning about 8 o’clock Fred—

New Canaan road, was driving down
Mill Hill with abox of tools in the back
part of his wagon and when opposite
Hanlon’s baking powder establishment
the" chest In some way or other fell out.
The horse, which is a young and nerv-
ous animal, and a new purchase, was
frightened by the noise of the falling
tool chest and started on a run. The
horse turned the corner in front of
Hendee’s music store and started in
the direction of High street. When
crossmg the car track the wagon wheel
became entangled in the track and the
sudden lurch threw Mr. Alger out, over
the side of the wagon, and he landed
on bus neck and shoulders on the stones.
Several men ran to his assistance ex-
pecting to_ find him seriously injured,
but he picked himself up, and after
brushing the mud and dirt off his cloth-
Ing, found he was not hurt. The horse
continued up High street on a run and
was stopped on I‘rance street.

Michael Davitt, the Irish land leaguer, has
been in this city for some ays and is stop-
ping t the home of Alexander Sullivan.
Mr. avitt is “in” to only the chosen few
and much Secrecy attends his movements.
His arrival in Chicago so shortly before
the Irish na ional convention, which opens
at Central uSic hall next Thursday, was
considered fraught with significance, but
gland, as he had to be in New York on
ednesday and sail for home on Saturday.

A New Plan.
MB. EDITOR :---As our Water Com-
missioners started at $300 and now pay
their clerk $850, why not increase that
amount to $1000 and then let Mr. Camp
be our sole water commissioner and
superintendent, as he certainly must
know more about the whole business
than any one else. He could keep the
books and collect the same as now, and
have time enough to ride up to the res-
ervoir as often as our commissioners
do, and he could also save another sal-
ary by looking after our sewers too.
Let the caucus to-night fix this and
save the $700 paid a superintendent,
$550 for fence painting and the Lord
only knows how much for “labor,”
“horse hire,” “supplies"from our store;
etc., etc. TAX-PAYERa
The scheme above out-lined is cer-
tainly worth a trial, but as it can’t be
did “without a legislative amendment”
to our charter and as we haven’t any
legislature and the scheme is “uncon-
stitutional” as it were, we see no chance
of working this reform just now, unless
we act on the amiable Tim Campbell’s _
theory when seeking to overcome Gov.
Hill’s constitutional objections ‘ re-

stitution to do among friends anyhow ?”
Jumped Out of the Window.
Last night, about 12 o’clock, Chief
Gormley was notified that a young man
had jumped out of a window of a house
on Center avenue, and was severely in-
jured. He went immediately to the
scene of the accident, and found that
John McDonald, a young man of about
17 years, had jumped from the Window
of his room, while laboring under the
delusion that burglars were in the
house and were after him. «McDonald,
who is from Brooklyn, has been in
town only three days, and is stopping
with his sister, the clarivoyant, on Cen-
ter avenue. He is of a very nervous
disposition, and easily frightened. Last
evening he thought he heard some one
trying to get into his room. and after
barricading the door, jumped from the
window to the ground, a distance of
about fifteen feet. He was found later,
on Main street, by two friends scantily
attired, and taken to their house where
his ankle, which was sprained by the
fall, was attended to by Dr. Huntington.
Last evening,from some cause or other,
the clarivoyant could not be made
to understand what had occurred, and
it was not until this morning, when
Chief Gormley again went to-the house
that she knew what her brother ha
done; The young man’s mother, who
lives in Brooklyn, was sent for.

A Deserved Compliment.
An unexpected but well-deserved
compliment was paid Manager Adams
Saturday afternoon. He remarked in
a jocose way, that. the matter of .mak-
ingup a 'satisfactOry Borough ticket,
was bothering both parties so much,'he
believed he would run for Warden him-
self.. An old gray-headed stranger
passing 'at the time caught the re-
mark, and stopped long enough to re-.
,Spond, “Well, young man, ' If you
could
Borough as you have at the Opera
House, let me tell you, your admISIs-
tration would be a success.” Then the
venerable stranger passed on, and
Adams has no idea who he was.
