Best Creamery Butter, —For sale at F. W. Smith’s meat market, 55 Main street, and only twenty-eight cents a pound. Try it and you will be convinced. tf “Let us try to grow old as the leaves, and in the October of our lives be aglow with kindness and goodwill.”— Sentinel. Here’s a hearty shake of the “bright little DAILY GAZETTE’S 132;" over that sentiment, Neighbor Golden, and now “let us have peace.” Rev. Mr. Butler in his sermon here Sunday, told of a good Methodist preacher, who, years ago, came on to New York, where the more cultivated ears of his hearers would not let him use the harsher expressions in use in Indiana in denouncing sin and sinners, and who said he longed to get back to Indiana, where he could preach “hell and damnation” again. A good many politicians felt the same way yesterday. The Portchester Journal speaks of E. L. Colwell, who recites at the Nor- M. E. church to-morrow eve- ning, at an entertainment given in Portchester as follows : “ Although on the bills as humorist of the evening, which character he fully verified by convulsing his auditors with experiences in ‘Dufi'y’s Flat,’ and the advice of a New Orleans Israelite to his Dude son, he yet showed himself equal to high dramatic effects in ‘Asleep at the Switch’, as well as a master of pathos in ‘The Little Stowaway.’ In all dia- lecftic parts Mr. Colwell is unsurpass- e .” ELECTION RETURNS. The Town and Borough Go Repub— lican and the City Democratic. Vote of Other Towns. Voters of all parties may be said to have put in their best work yesterday. The republicans had exceptionally strong town and borough tickets, which captured many independent democrat- c voters and won. At the City things Were reversed and the democrats swept the deck with their city ticket. Mr. Craw, who has been "an honest and faithful selectman, is superceded by Hon. Tallmadge Baker. Selectman Raymond changes places with Mr. Das- kam, (who is also elected) and becomes our First Selectman. The Borough ticket gives five repub- lican burgesses and one democrat, Squires. Young Dr. Acton, who was defeated, has no occasion to feel humili- ated, as his defeat was caused from no personal dislike or disqualification, for he is a most estimable young man and exceedingly popular with all who know him. But he was scarcely known to the party war-horses and in the trading and scratching, he being the least known, inevitably sufi‘ered most. Mr. George B. St. John, our Old and popular town collector, was beaten by 84391036 vote, by Collector Kemp, and 'Morehouse was defeated for bailiff by Policeman Charles E. Adams. In Westport, owing to a split in the democratic ranks and the running of an independent ticket, two republican selectmen were elected. In New Ca- naan the democrats carried the day, and the town voted license by fifty ma,- jority. InWilton, the democrats were successful, electing their entire ticket. Danbury and Stamford elected repub- lican selectmen, the democrats carry- ing the remainder of the ticket. Trum- bull went democratic and against li- cense. In Waterbury, Webster, repub— lican, was elected over Baldwin, de mo- crat, the present incumbent, by 92 ma- jority. In Stratford the republicans elected their ticket, and in Fairfield the democrats were successful. In Dar- ien the republicanselectedjheix RENTER. . ticket and voted license by 66 majority. Huntington went republican and no li- cense. Hartford and Walling- ford have gone democratic. Republi- cans captured Winsted by a good ma- jority. New London elected a demo- cratic mayor by 384 majority. All the towns in the vicinity went democratic. Democracy captured Meriden by 700 majority. Democrats have a majority in New Britain of 400 to 600. TOWN. SELECTMEN. Oscar W. Raymond, r. 1288 Tallmadge Baker, 1‘, 1259 Samuel Daskam, d 1261 Nelson J. Craw, d. 1239 TOWN CLERK. Herbert R.

But one solitary spectator was in the room last evening? at 8 O’clock when Warden Keeler called the Court of Burgesses to order. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved, after which a long list of bills were ordered paid. The bill of C. W. Burritt was referred to the Water Commissioners, and the bill of F. E. Lockwood, for rent of the voting house, used yesterday, was re- ferred to the Warden to be paid when the house was removed. The report of the Chief of Police was received and ordered placed on file. A letter from Chief Prowitt was read urging the court to appropriate enough money to purchase 16 uniforms for the members of Pioneer Hook and Ladder Company, and also one additional com- munication from Meigs & 00., of Bridgeport, agreeing to furnish the 16 uniforms now, and the additional 14 at some future time, for $16 per suit. Chairman Burr of the Fire Commit- tee stated that the company needed as- sistance, and thought that the best way to do was to uniform the 14 members, now on the rolls, and the new members would look out for themselves. Burgess Bowe made a motion that the sum of 8256 be appropriated by the Borough to procure 16 uniforms for the company. Burgess O’Reilly made an amend- ment to that motion, making the amount $300, as he thought more as- sistance should be given the company, but as this amendment was likely to cause some discussion, he withdrew it, and Burgess Bowe’s motion was carried. A communication from James W. Hyatt and others asking the Borough to lay a four inch water pipe through the property of Ira Cole, on Elmcrest Avenue, was read and the Water Com- missioners were instructed to comply with the request of the petitioners. This work will cost perhaps $250, and the Borough will receive at least $560 a year from the water rents. Burgess Bowe wanted the court to instruct him as to what was best to do with upper Main street. This street is in a horrible condition and needs re- pairing, and he thought that the street should be lowered from Lawyer Hurl- butt’s house to Scofield’s store. There seemed to be a general opinion that the horse railway company would lower their tracks if the Borough would al- low them to out down the hill near Union Avenue. After some discussion the matter was left with the Highway Committee to make arrangements with President Hyatt and fix the road, as is best in their judgment. Burgess Buxton brought up the Bel- den Avenue sidewalk cases, and said that it was now over a month since the court had ordered the residents of this avenue to lay sidewalks, and they had not, and he introduced a resolution di- recting the sidewalks to be laid by the Borough and liens placed on the prop- erty. Some doubts were expressed as Whether liens on any property could be collected, and after discussion the mat- ter was left with the clerk to report at a meeting of the Highway Committee, this evening. Two overcoats were ordered purd chased by the chairman of the Police Committee. ' An old note of $2500 having been re- placed by a new one, the chairman Of the Finance Committee burned the old note in the presence of the court. The Warden stated to the court that E. J. Wadhams who was given permis- sion at the last meeting of the board to erect a canvas awning over his market on Wall street, had overstepped his au- thority by erecting a wooden shed In- stead Of an awning, and the clerk was directed to remove the Shed, if in his Opinion Wadhams had overstepped hIS authority. Burgess Vanderhoef stated that some South Norwalk men had Jokingly com- plained to him on the train, of the Borough buying water from South Norwalk at so much per day, . and fill- ing our reservoir during the night, and then notifying the South Norwalk au- thorities that we would not want then: water for a day or two, and asked En- gineer Wood if the complalnts were true. The Engineer stated that when the arrangements were made with the South Norwalk authorities, they agreed that we should be entitled to all the water gained during the night, and that they now so understood it. The chairman of the finance commit- tee was authorized to borrow $51,000 to pay bills, if found necessary, and there being no further business, the court ad- journed until Oct. 21st, Wednesday evening. + Serious Accident.

WASHINGTON WEISPERS. The French Minister Presents His 0rd01I of Recall to the President. WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.——M. Roustan, the French minister to the United States, who was recently recalled by his government, appeared at the executive mansion and of- ficially presented his letters of recall to President Harrison. The president made a. short speech, in which he expressed his regret at the loss of the minister. M. Roustzm was accompanied by Chancellor Baufulo, of the French legation. The ex—minister is expected to leave for France in a few days. Orders were telegraphed from the treas- ury department for the revenue cutter ush, now at San Francisco, to return at once to the Seal islands, and to remain there until the lst of December. The Rush returned from the Seal islands last week, reaching San Francisco last Friday. Instructions were sent the Rush during the latter part of August to remain at the Seal islands until further orders, but by, , somle mistake the orders were not deny: ere( . The fact that there are many poaching vessels in Behring sea awaiting an Oppor tunity to take seal is well known at the treasury department. The revenue cutter Bear is now at the Seal islands, buhit can. not effectively police the sea alone. It wil take the Rush about ten days to reach the Seal islands. Latter Day Saints Meet. SA LT LAKE CITY, Oct. 6. —The semiannual conference of the Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints Opened in the Taber- nacle. About 10,000 of the Mormon faith ful were in attendstuce.

The be lief was expressed that the church was soon to triumph over its enemies, and reg newed allegiance to the only true religion was declared. The meeting lasts three days. The Charges Against Dr. Briggs. NEW YORK, Oct. 6.—At the semiannual meeting of the New York Presbytery, held in the Scotch Presbyterian church in West Fourteenth street, Rev. John. C. Bliss presided as moderator. The prosecuting committee appointed last spring to’prepard papers in the trial for heresy of Professm Charles A. Briggs presented its report embodying the charges against him. Pro fessor Briggs moved that his case be taken up the first thing in the afternoon, but the motion was defeated. The indictment p1~exoatcd~liy~the_eommittee bases thé- . .but for the utterances of men like Mr. charges against Professor Briggs solely on the inaugural address because it is thé most deliberate and emphatic expression of his doctrines.

The appropriation hav- ing given out, alloting stopped Sept. 30‘ and it was feared this would delay the Opening of the lands for another year. The influence brought to bear, however has had its effect, and the money will be forthcoming to complete the work. It is probable these fine lands will be opened to homestead early next year.” These Farmers Mean Business.

Not So Rabid to Revenge Chinese Outrages as She Recently Was. A TORY RAP AT GLADSTONE. Accused Of Being as Anxious for Dis- unlon in England as He Was for the Disruption of This Republic—A Timely Bomb Discovery. LONDON. Oct. 6.—-There is a. noticeable falling off of public interest in recent events in China, although the reported outrages on Christian missions and mis~ sionaries in that country seemed in a fair way, a short time Since, to cause serious trouble. It seems to be felt that possibly there is a. Chinese side to the matter, and that if the authorities of China have not shown themselves as acting in the matter with all the promptitude and vigor desirable, there is room fora suspicion that the mis‘ sionaries have not been careful to avoid wounding the susceptibilities of a race tenacious of old forms and ancient he lists. The evident purpose of Russia to hold aloof from any concerted naval demon- stration in Chinese waters, which may find England at its head, operates too cool the order of all save the missionary enthu- siasts and those who are anxious to see English commerce pushed at whatever cost. The fact that France, one Of the most aggressive of European powers in the east, is likely to be governed rather'by what Russia does then by what England desires, forms a subject for serious con- sideration in diplomatic circles here. A 'l‘ory Rap at Gladstone. The Tory Speakers and newspapers con- tinue their rabid comments on Mr. Glad- , stone’s Newcastle speech, and still make as their most salient point the fact that he once advocated the cause of the Southern . Confederacy. Mr. Russell, the well known Irish Union- ist, is quoted as saying: “Mr. Gladstone is no doubt as sincere now in advocating the disunion for Great Britain and Ireland as he was advocating disunion for Amer- ica, and he is just as incapable of seeing the consequences now of what he adv0< cates as he was in the case of the Ameri‘ can north and south. “He is perfectly willing to place at the mercy of the Irish disunion majority the loyal minority that have always been faithful to great Britain. What he means; by saying that it is now a question 01 dealing with the Irish people nobody can understand but himself. It has nevel been anything else, and the. Irish peopld today would be content and prosperous Gladstone.” Mr. Russell said that Mr. Gladstone haa now taken disunion for his personal pol. icy, and wished to cram it down the throats both of Liberals and Tories. The Vatican Greatly Disturbed. ROME, Oct. 6.—The outburst of patriotic excitement in this country, arising from the incident of French pilgrims shOwing' disrespect for the memory Of Vittorio Em: manuele and the secular government 01 Italy, has greatly disturbed the Vatican, and is the cause of continued and deep uni easiness to the pope and his advisers. The popular enthusiasm, which ill thought to hint at something like a ment ace to ecclesiasticism in Italy, is largely due, it is asserted, to Signor Crispi’s con- tinued cultivation of the belief among the people that France desires to restore tha' temporal power of the pope. The decision Of the French cabinet to recommend to the French bishops to ab stain from leading any pilgrimages for the' present will arm Signor Rudini with a' useful weapon against Signor Crispi’s alé leged attempt to foment a. quarrel be tween Italy and France, and will serve= probably, to secure a. better feeling be' tween the two governments than has or isted for some time. The Pope’s Position. An unconfirmed report says that Lea XIII is preparing a. circular to the power: on the insecurity of his position. The streets of this city were filled Sun day by people shouting for the king, min gled with cries against the people and the’ pope; The day passed off, however, with. out any violence. In Naples similar scenes were enacted. In Milan the people threatened violence to‘ some foreigners who refused to join in the expressions of loyalty, and in Florence the French residents thought it prudent to remain indoors. Everywhere the great? est devotion was expressed to the royal family and the cause of Italian unity. Thc? incident in the Pantheon raised a flame that shot like Wildfire from one end of the peninsula to the other. A Timely Bomb Discovery. TRIESTE, Oct. 6,—The discovery of an at tempt to blow up the Episcopal palace has caused much commotion here. The gen. erally admitted facts in the case are thata porter at the Episcopal palace found a large petard, or bomb, with aburning fuse attached, in one of the hallways. The por- ter immediately pulled the fuse from the bomb and extinguished’it. Some people claim that this was a. seri ous attempt to damage the Episcopal pals ace; others held that it was simply a “demonstration” on a smaller scale, simi lar to the one at Resenthal last week at the railroad bridge over which the Em peror Francis Joseph was to pass. Stil? others believe that the petard affair was a silly hoax, or else an attempt to gain no toriety. The matter is being investigatee by the local authorities. Great Dock Strike in London.
