Annual Report of the State Board
of School Visitors.
The above just issued report (which
includes the annual report of the sec-
retary of the board.) does Gen. Olm-
stead, of the Norwalk Board of School
Visitors, the honor of making four dis-
tinct quotations from his returns to the
state board. Two of these extracts,
which are given a place in the state re-
port, are of such serious local interest
that we re-copy them entire, as follows:
Attendance, Irregular. ~This school
[Winnipauk] sufl'ersfrom irregular at-
tendaucc, and the w1thdrawal of pupils
immediately after they have passed
the compulsory age. There is no ex-
cuse for much of the first-named evil.
If parents would but awake to the value
Of constant attendance on school work,
this state of things would cease to ex-
ist. Much is done in this school by the
teachers, in making school attendance
Interesting and profitable, only to be
neutralized by the indifference of par-
ents. The loss tO- the childby this un-
punctual and irregular attendance is
not to be measured by the school work
thus omitted, but by his failure to
learn at the proper time in life the all-
Important lessons of punctuality and
application. It is also to be regretted
that the older pupils are so early with
drawn to assist in the expensesincident
to their homes. Doubtless, In some
cases this seems a necessity, but before
resorting to this means of augmenting
the family treasury, parents should re-
flect that in keeping their children
from school they are doing them an ir-
reparable injury.—NORWALK, Charles
Olmste‘ad, School Visitor.
Ventilationr.—[At Over River School]
Four large heaters, or stoves, are dis-
tributed in the four lower rooms, em-
ployed not only to furnish heat for
then respective rooms, but to take the
vitiated air in each room, heating and
sendlng 1t.(by means of registers in the
floor,'), With its death-dealing prOper-
ties, Into the rooms above, there to be
used over again. In this enlightened
age this Is suicidal, and should be im-
mediately remedied, either by intro-
ducmg Into these heaters fresh air from
outSIde the building and excluding
that 111 the room where the heater is
placed, or, what would be infinitely
better, superceding these ancient land-
marks In the science of heating by
modern and health-conducive methods.
—N_OBWALK, Charles Olmstead, Acting
VISItor.
Here is a revelation as to the mode
of heating the Over River School that
should shock and alarm every parent
whose children attend that school. - No
wonder that diphtheria, scarlet fever
and kindred diseases are bred and fos-
tered when such scandalous conditions
are permitted to exist. Pure air, of
which the good Lord has given his
children forty solid miles of atmos-
phere, is by this outrageous method of
heating, turned into the most deadly
of poisons. If these school rooms are
to be heated by hot air from iron fur-
naces at all, then a current of fresh air
should be constantly poured in from
the outside,on the heated surfaces of
these furnaces and independent pipes
from them conveying heated air. intro-
duced into every separate room. To
breathe the heated air of the lower
come over and over again in the upper
come, as it ascends, is to invite sick-
ness and death, and at this en lightmigg,
1'
age of the world no one responsible for!
such a condition of things as General
Olmstead reports, can be deemed-guilt-
less.

political history Of Central America in no
small degree.

fairs of the state for half a century, as a.
' representative in the lower house, as a
senator, as secretary of state, aspresident
(1867—71), and as diplomatist. He first
came to this country. officially in 1863. In
' 1879 he was minister to England, and was
also minister to Spain and to France.
He leaves a widow and four sons. A fifth
son, recently dead, was a graduate of Har-
vard. One, Senor Horacio Guzman, has
been minister to the United States since

married in 1882 an American lady, Miss
Mae Ewing. . -

Sunoi, Queen of the Turf.
_ Sunol succeeded yesterday in lower-
mg the trotting record from 2. 08% to

California filly queen of the turf. The
honor still remains with Mr. Robert
Bonner, who is the fortunate owner of
both horses. -
While Sunol’s performance gives her
the record, it will not‘be accepted by
the trotting world as superior or even
equal to that of the dethroned queen.
The former was made on a kite shaped

' There Was no Eiopement.
There appeared in the city morning
papers to-day a foundationless story
which may prove greatly prejudicial to
two young people who have indulged
in no such escapade as they are cred-
ited with.
Several weeks ago, Miss Lizzie Na-
gle of South N orwalk, came to this elty
tosee Edward Brennan, a clerk in the
Housatonic oflices, with'whom she has
been “keeping company” for some
time. She was forcibly taken home
from this city on that occasion by her
brother. .
' The local newsgathers had not for-
gotten the ' incident, and when Mr.
Brennan failed to appear yesterday
morning at his'accustomed place In the
Housatonic freight office, they assumed
that he and Miss Nagle had eloped.
A‘Farmer reporter saw Mr. Brennan
at his desk in the general Housatonlc
office this morning. “The stories are
all false,” saidhe, “I never even‘ saw
Miss‘Nagle yesterday, havmg last seen
heron Sunday. I was away yesterday
on private business. I am not married
to her but hope to be soon. Miss Nagle
was not at my boarding house on Sun-
day as has been reported.” .
. Mr. Van Al'styne, the assistant gener-
alfreight agent corroborated Brennan’s
statement that he was away on busr-
ness. Mr. Van Alstyne said that the
stories were instigated by malice on. the
part of certain persons, who might
shortly realize that they had made a

which he was handling at the time.
Gutierrz, who was about 21 years of
age, came to this country about two
years ago from Cienfuego, Cuba, and
has been a pupil at Whit-lock’s schOol
ever since. He was passionately fond‘
of hunting and shooting and was per-
mitted to hunt at will‘. A .
Yesterday afternoon he started out
in company with two younger scholars ‘
of the school, about 1.30 o’clock, after
game. He carried an old double-bar-
rel shot-gun of French make and pe-
culiar design, which he had brought
with him from Cuba.
They Were absent about two hours,
and when returning home and near the
house of Irad Morgan, Gutierrz _ stop-
ped to light his pipe.
He placed the muzzle of the gun
against his abdomen and was about to
the younger boys called his attention“
to the fact that the gun’was cocked,
and he had better be careful. .
He made some reply, jokingly, that
he was not afraid and reached
over 'tolower the hammer of the gun,
still keeping the muzzle against his
body. '
He had drawn the hammer of the
right barrel part way .back, when his
finger slipped, and the hammer rc-
bounded against the cartridge, discharg-
ing the gun, the full contents of which
entered his body. 4
With a groan he fell to the ground,
'and the younger boys ran to Morgan’s
house after help. _ ,
A crowd soon collected and the in-
jured man was carried in an uncon~
scious condition to the residence 'of 7
Charles Mann, near by and Dr. Gor-
ham, of Wilton, and Dr. Huntington.
of Norwalk, summoned. .
Here everything was done for him
that was possible, but he never regained
consciousness and at 4.05 o’clock, he
died. '
The wound made by the charge from
the gun was a peculiar one, having the
appearance of being made by aball car-
tridge, rather than shot, but this was
caused by the muzzle of the gun being
so near the body when the discharge
occurred. The wound was not larger
than the bottom of a small bottle and
the course of the shot » was upward,
causing excessive laceration of the in;
testines, which produced death.
After death the body was removed to
Taylor’s undertaking shop where it was
viewed by coroner’s physician Hunt-
ington, and a certificate of accidental
death given. ,
As Gutierrz had no friends in this
country and both of his parents being
in Cienfuego, Cuba, his banker, J ., M.
Ceballos, of Wall street, was notified of
his sudden death and is expected to ar-
rive to-day, when some arrangements
