EDITORIAL NOTES. -

The Cold Wave-

The present eold snap came from
North Dakota and was but twenty-four
hours in reaching tire Atlantic coast.
In' Norwalk last night and up to six.
o’clock this morning thermometers
ranged from four below to two above 0.
The coldest place in the United States
yesterday was on the shores of Lake
Superior where the thermometers sank
to 40 below 0. Two car loads of lambs
were frozen stiff on a train near ’I‘o-
ronto yesterday. Great suffering is re-
ported on the waters and among rail
road men. An engineer .was found
frozen last night on a New Jersey
train and taken from his engine at
Woodbury.

Great destitution and sufieringis re-
ported among the poor and improvi-
dent of New York and other large
cities, for want of food and fuel.

The weather bureau reports two
more days of cold when a warmer wave
may _be looked for. It will be wel-
comed by all save possibly the coal
men, the plumber and ice men.

Senatorial.

It is expected that Connecticut’s
United States Senator will be named at
Hartford this afternoon. The contest

 

 

 

has waxed hot between the friends of '

General Hawley and ex-Gov. Bulkeley;
so but indeed that the New Haven Pal-
ladium politely counsels the General to
show the patriotism and unselfish wis-
dom of Senator Dawes of Massachu-
setts, and take himself out of the strife.
It suggest that republican interests and
supremacy would be better assured
were Hawley and Bulkeley both to
withdraw and let Sam. Fessenden, Pat-
ent Commissioner Simone or Judge
Hall receive the nomination. It will
be known in a few hours whom a ma-
jority of the republican representatives
prefer, and there is no cause for heat
or anxiety on the part of republicans,
as some sound exc mplar of their prin-
ciples is sure to win._

In New York, “Ed.” Murphy. the
man Cleveland didn’t and Tammany
did want was nominated by the demo-
cratic caucus at Albany last night and
will be elected. This gives Senator
David B. the first innings and Grover

Senate from his own state. Such is
not patriotism or public welfare but
machine politics of the worst sort.
Well may the President elect exclaim
w1th King Henry and with Caesar :

“This is the state of man. To-day he puts forth
The tender leaves of hope; to-morrow blos-

soms. .
.1 nd bears his blushing honors thick upon him:
The third day some? afrost. a illing frost ;
And when he thinks. good easy man. full surely
His greatness is a. ripening—nine his root.
And then he falls, as I do ’ " ‘ " ,
“But yesterday the word of Czesar might
Have stood against the world ; now has he

And will)?» poor to do him reverence.”

A Free Trip to Washington.

The GAZETTE proposes to present to
the most popular person in town a
railroad ticket from N orwalk to Wash--
ington, D. C. and return on the occa-
sion of the inauguration of President
Grover Cleveland, March 4th 1893, the
popularity to be determined by‘a vote
of the readers of the GAZETTE, the vet-
ing to close at 8 o’clock p. m. Saturday,
February 25th, 1893, and the result to
be announced on Monday, February
2-7. In order to facilitate the voting
and for the convenience of the voters
an official ballot will be printed in
these columns every day, which is to
be cut out, and the blank lines filled in
by the voter, with the name and address
of the candidate and sent to the Gas
znrrn office.

Views of a High Private.

A last week’s interview with the
public’s always interesting old ac-
quaintance, Editor Watterson of Ken-
tnoky, enriches the columns of the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. '

He thinks it “unfortunate” that the
President-elect should have thought it
necessary to meddle at all in New
York’s election of a senator. although
he makes allowance for Mr. Cleveland’s
very natural wish to have one friend
from his own state in the Senate.

Carlisle, he says, has been asked to .

take charge of the treasury depart-
ment under the next administration,
but hesitates because he likes the Son-
ate, and because he is a poor man and
doesen’t like the idea of sacrificing his
law practice. The Louisville editor is'
hopeful that Carlisle will end by accep-

ting the office, and vouches for him as
neither an “extremist” on the silver

question nor at all likely to “engage in
financial adventures. ”

.liams’. , .

 

 

V‘He thinks ex-Senator Eustis of

' Louisiana in many ways abetter man

for the state department than anybody
else who has been named. - He objects
to Professor Phelps because of the Pro—
fessor’s ‘ ‘limited American sympathies,”
his unpopularity with the Irish, .and
for other reasons. He doesn’t see, in-
deed, how Professor ‘Phelps and Gen-
eral Patrick A. Collins could be made
to work together in cabinet harness.
He is for making whisky and to-
bacco yield an annual revenue of $125,-
000,000, and for putting back the tax on
sugar. He confidently expects to see,
within the next four years, the pres.
ent tariff ’ “supplanted by a free-trade
system, reabhed by methods so con-
servative and rational as to compass
the revolution without any serious dis~
turbance of the manufacturing inter-
‘csts of the country.

Good Roads.‘_Etc.

The Courant sensibly says that the
Maine folks didn’t make any mistake
when they promoted" Henry B. Cleaves
to the governor-ship. At any rate his
inaugural address is the address of a
man who has kept both his eyes and
mind open. He believes in high
schools and normal schools, as well as
district schools ; he wants to see a free
public library in every Maine town;
he wants to see better roads between
the towns; he is for protecting the
Maine forests by law; he wants the
ne’edless killing and crippling of rail-
road brakemen stopped ; and he thinks
the railroad corporations should be
compelled to bear their'just and equal
proportion of the public expenses.

The govornor of New Hampshire
also said an emphatic word in his inau-
gural. address for the good cause of
road-improvement. He pointed out the
"necessity for it, and the advantages to
flow from it. He called the attention
of the legislators to the fact that,
wherever in the state the town has
taken over the care of the highways
from the “ road districts,” the result is
better roads at less cost. He also sug-
gests the creation of a'highway com-
mission.

It. seems a pity that Governor Smith
didn’t see his way to saying an equally
emphatic word in commendation and
encouragement of the public-spirited
efforts of New Hampshire men, and of
other men interested in New Hamp-
shire, to save what is left of the White
Mountain forests from the ante. He re-
ferred to the importance of the sub-
ject, and to the great interests involved.
He said' it was occupving the thoughts
of the peeplc to a large extent, and he
bespoke for the forthcoming report of
the state forestry commission the at-
tentive consideration of3 the legislators.
This was well enough as far as it went,
but it did notgo the length of the gov-

ernor’s opportunity. There are cases

in which opportunity and duty are con-
vertible terms.

The Body Horribly Man'gied.

Samuel Barnes, a brakeman employed
on the Consolidated road met with a
horrible death at South N orwalk,short~
ly before noon to-day. He Was on top
of a car of the freight train that passes
through South Norw'alk at 11.56. As
the train neared the Washington street
crossing he was seen to run along the
car-and as he came to the end of it, to
slip and fall. ‘ To‘save himself he grab-
bed the brake but did not get a sufii-
cient hold 'on it, and. fell to the track,
several cars’piissingfozver and bufi'eting
his body as if it were-h cookie-shell.

The horribly mangled remains of the
unfortunate man were picked up and
taken to the baggage room, and later
removed to undertaker Gregory’s
morgue. - -

Coroner Burke was summoned, and
it was learned that the man’s name was
Samuel Barnes, that he lived in New
Haven: and that he had two sisters
living in Buffalo. His watch was found
and as it had his initials engraVed on
the inside case“ assisted in his iden-
tification. ' . '

It was one of the most frightful acci-
dents that are of such frequent occur-
rence on the rail at South N orwal‘k.

His friends in New ”Haven have been

George Kellogg was born January
7th, 1809, in Ulster County, New York,
and died December 12th. 1892, aged 83
years, 11 months and 5 days, at the resi-
dence of his nephew, Wm. Kellogg. in
Scott township, with Whom he had
lived for many years. In the past year
he had become helpless and required
much care, which he received from the
tender hands of Mr. and Mrs. Kellogg.
The deceased had lived a life upon the
seas, having spent many years coasting
along the Atlantic shores to the West
Indies. He also s’pentone summer on
Lakes Ontario and Eric and was con-
sidered among the finest engineers.
He lived and died a bachelor, possesed
of sufficient property to abundantly
care for him in his long and severe ill-'
ness. He was a staunch old democrat,

Much complaint is made because the
Borough. and private citizens do not
clear their walks of snow; There is

 

'some excuse for the delay for the rea-

son that in those instances. where the
snow has been shoveled off, and that
repeated in some cases, the wind has
blown the light snow back again and

made the effort to clear the walks a

failure. This reason will not hold so

Hall’s singing is a joy and delight to

A hearing on: the application of the

Railroad commissioners at' Danbury,
between Jan. 1’; and 26. The proposed
road will extend from Da .ibury to

division of the New York Central road.

A number of prominent . Danbury
men have been quietly carrying for-
ward the project, says the News, and
one of them said Monday that the road
would be built during the present year.
New York capitalists are waiting 'for
the necessary preliminaries. and will

To Register Co—Partnership.

The bill, for the registration with
town clerks of all regularly established
partnerships and agencies, to be intro-
duced before the present General As-
sembly, will be one of the important
subjects of discussion before-the state
board of Trade, at its annual meeting in
Bridgeport J anuary'18. . The author of
the bill is Mr._George Henderson. for-
merly local manager of R. G. Dun &
00., but new manager of the New Ha-
ven allies of that concern.

The bill is of interest to every busi-
ness man and has been extensively, en-
dorsed. It will prevent the formation
of fraudulent co-partnerships to thwart
the honest claims of 'creditors'and will
place greater responsibilities upon the
parties so registered. It is believed
that the new law will also have a tend-
ency to check failures. "°

Roughly Handled.

Last evening, as Deputy sheriff
Toner was driving home he Was hailed
by Walter Albin who asked for a ride.
His request was granted, be riding as
far as Mr. Toner’s house where he got
out and proceeded the rest of the way
home on foot. Shortly after seven
o clock, Mr. Toner heard a rap. and
opening the door was‘met by Albin.
whose face was covered with blood, and
he. had neither hat or 'coat on. He
said that on getting ‘home he was set
upon by 'Gduld SherWood (his step-
father,) George :Van Hoosear, John
Nash and William Coggswell, and

roughly handled. It seems that his '

stepfather denies him admittance to
the house, but his mother is willing to
have him home; this is the cause of
much contention between "the twin.
He asksdhfr; Toner to have his alleg-
ed assailants arrested then, and there,
but‘was‘ finally prevailed upon to await
until. to-day.._, Arrests will probably
be made Within a short time. ,

Tile Expected Couldn’t Help‘

Happening at Albany.

BUT LITTLE OPPOSITION WAS
MADE MANIFEST.

Cockran’s Naine Used and He He-
Ceived Five Votes.

ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. _11.—Edward Mur-
phy, Jr., Democrat of Troy, was last night
nominated for United States Senator to
fill the seat octupied by Frank Hiscock,
Republican. In spite of the carefully
prepared protest at President-elect Cleve-

land against Mr. Murphy’s selection, the _

Democratic caucus, on joint ballot, voted
thus: Edward Murphy, Jr.,85; Bourke
Cockran, 5; total votes, 90.

The Assembly Chamber was packed full
when the caucus was about to be called
to order. Nearly every able-bodied poli-.
tician of Troy was down to behold the
crowning event of the political career of
that city’g favorite son. Senator Plun-
kitt called the caucus to Order a few min-
utes after 8. Speaker Sulzer, to whom
was assigned the honor of nominating
the Chairman, presented the name of
Senator Parker of Albany. Senator
Bloodgood of Greene and Assemblyman
Ryder of Westchester were named as

- Secretaries.

 

EDWARD MURPHY, JR.

Senator Cantor congratulated the mem-
bers cf the'caucus on being in a position
to elect a Democratic Senator. A politi-
cal revolution had taken place and this
made possible the election of a tried and
loyal Democrat.

The Democratic party stood pledged to
tariff reform, hard money and the repeal
of the Sh rman Silver law. To these
party principles the candidate whom he
should name would be true. He would
be in hearty accord with the Chief Magi-
strate of the nation—Grover Cleveland.

Mr. Cantor then reviewed the career of
Mr. Murphy, saying that in every cam-
paign in which he had participated he
had secured victory for his party, and.
eulogizing his services. He was sure that
themanmhom he had in mind would not
do so. He formally presented the name
of the Hon. Edward Murphy, Jr.,of Troy,
for the Senatorial nominatzon. '

At the mention of Mr. Murphy’s name
the large audience began clapping but
soon gave way to cheering, which was
kept up several minutes.

Senator McClellsnd made a vigorous
protest against Murphy’s nomination and
presented the name of W. Bourke Cock.
ran. ‘ He was seconded by Senator Brown.

Then the roll was called. 0! the Sena-
tors 22 voted for Edward Murphy, Jr.,
and 2—Senators Brown and McClelland—
for W. Bourke Cochran. Of the Assemb-
lymen 63 named Mr.
Congressman Ceckran.

Total, Edward Murphy, Jr., 85; Bourks

.Cockran, 5. Senator Parker announced .

that Murphy was the nominees of the
caucus. '

Senator Brown immediately moved an
adjournment, which was ordered with-
out making the nomination of Mr. Mur-
phy unanimous, which is usual.
