The Gazette has the largest cir— culation of any paper in Norwalk, and furnishes the lowest advertlslnz ratoe- '- Masonic Contention. The proceedings yesterday at New Haven, before the Grand Lodge of Masons, were largely concerning mat- ters growing out of the St. John’s and Old Well Lodges’ contention in regard to the disputed board bill of an indi- gent member of St. John’s Lodge. The lodge was suspended but after an apology was reinstated and .their charter returned. Worshipful Master Mead. was also reinstated. Editor Maples, however, must answer to the charge of violating hisiobligations as a Mason by publishing masonic matters that should not have been publicly re- vealed and also for intomperate and- scurrilous vituporation of the Grand Master. Mr. E. J. Hill, it is reported, 'appeared and made an eloquent and pathetic appeal in Mr. Maples’ behalf, pleading that he be saved from expul- sion from the order and disciplined only, if need be, by reprimand and censure for his unmasonic conduct. Mr. Maples who was present, for him- self. held that as Masonic law was cre- ated before the newspapers, there is no Masonic law that can exercise a con. sorship over a newspaper that is edited by a Mason. He stands on that ground and protests that he will stick there and make no abject apologies to the Grand Lodge, to save himself from ex- pulsion. His case was referred to the com- mittee, who this morning reported against Mr. Maples and he was expelled from Masonry. The Machine in Politics. The esteemed New York World sent a stafi' correspondent to Albany to il- luminate the Murphy Senatorial affair. Whenever the World wants to be es- pecially powerful and impressive, says . the Washington Post, the ordinary reg- ular representative of the paper is tem- porarily eliminated and a' functionary fresh from the “stud ” is ordered to take charge of the emergency. In this Albany case, therefore, the “staff cor~ respondent” went to the front. The: Conclusion arrived at is that an “oligarchy, not a democracy,” ieexrul- ing the Empire state just now. The “ stafi' correspondent ” says so positive- ly. The whole commonwealth of New York is in the hands of four men—- Croker, McLaughlin, and Murphy, with Senator Hill as the head center. Nobody else has a word to say. These four elect legislatures to suit them- selves, carry out bargains and deals, distribute official dividends, and all the rest of it, and the swarming millions of N ew York gasp and writhe in their re- lentless gripe. The democrats who voted for Murphy were unwilling but impotent slaves. The only free men in the assembly were the few who voted against Murphy. The ”staff corre- spondent,” perched in Albany, ran his eye over things and took in the whole situation at a glance. It only remains, now, for somebody to tell us how these four men, without any right of life and death over ' their fellow citizens. without any power save that which the democrats of New York may voluntarily confide to them, have ’ managed, in this free country and in this enlightened age, to overs-we and enslave so vast a population. And, by the way, has it occurred to‘ the many republicans and the few dem- ocrats and mugwumps who are so soro- ly exercised because the two New York Senators are in hostility to the President-elect, that the Senators can imitate the notable example set them by Roscoe Conkling and T. M. Platt and resin their seats in the Senate P But will they do it? Not much! As soon expo -t our oat-Borough scribes to let go their grip on the Borough clerk- ship. , , . - --————-————<o .

A vote was taken on the report by the. Grand Lodge, and the Committee sustalned by a large majority, and Mr. Maples was accordingly expelled. The Knob Outing Club. The first promenade concert of the Knob Outing Club was given at the Armory last evening and was wrthout doubt the finest event of the kind ever given 1n Norwalk. The large Armory floor was filled with merry dancers, who vied with each other in maklng the evening one of unalloyed pleasure. The Royal Hungarian Band, Allis Ala- dar leader, was stationed in the center of the floor and rendered the finest of dance music, while the Wheeler & W11- son Band of Bridgeport, Conrad Wei- . denhammer leader, was stationed at the end of the room and furnished the promenade mus1c. With these _two famous organizations on the floor it is needless to say that the Armory con- stantly rang with the sweetest melody. Supporlwas serve-.1 in the ofiicers’ room upstairs from 11 o’clock until the close of the concert, by that prince of caterers, Maresi of New York, who ev1- dently made an extra effort to outdo all former suppers, and how well he suc- ceeded can best be told by those who were fortunate enough to partake of his dellcacies.

Even with the bigger rail- roads of the country, very seldom is there effected such a large sale of the securities of the company in one day. Most of this money to be received from this stock sale will be used in wiping out the floating indebtedness assumed in improvements by the company, par- ticularly on the New York and Shore Line divisions. . There is an outstanding bonded in- debtedness on the main line of this road of about $2.000, 000, a small amount as railroads of the country are bonded. On the leased lines, however, there is a similar cost of indebtedness amount- ing in the aggregate to about $13,000,- 000. This amount, however, was in- curredbefore these lines came under the control of the Consolidated road. It is reported that the block of stock sold by the Consolidated read last Sat- urday, was for European account. The owners of this stock, Drexel, Morgan a 00., are likely to realize a fine profit when they dispose 0f it. ‘ USE DANA’S SARSAPARILLA,IT’S “THE KIND THAT-CURES". -———<-O~- Masonic Grand Lodge. The 104th annual communication of the Masonic Grand Lodge of this state was held in New Haven yesterday. . In the address of the grand master is included the charges against St. John’s lodge, No. 6, of Norwalk, a dif- ficulty that has been pending since 1890. The affair relates to a bill of $195.35 that was presented by Old Well lodge to St. John’s lodge for support- lnga destitute brother. This matter was settled some time ago, an apology having been made by the worshipful master of the lodge; but a member of St. J ohn’s lodge is in disfavcr for pub- lishing certain articles in relation to the matter. Editor Maples was present and his case was'referred to the committee on Jurisprudence, consisting of the fol- lowing named members: L. A. Lock- wood, J. H. Barlow and James Mc- Cormick. Grand Secretary Joseph K. Wheeler submitted his report which showed the five lodgcsreporting the largest mem- bership are as follows: St. J ohn’s lodge, No. 4, Hartford, 549 members; St. John’s lodge, No. 3, Bridgeport, 540 members; Hiram lodge, No. 1, New Haven, 535 members; Wooster lodge.

Michael Lynch the Viclim. Last eyening as Samuel Foster was at his home on Wilton avenue, his at; tention was. attracted to cries that seemed to come from near the Cather- ino street railroad crossing, which is near by. He listened and the cry was repeated. He then proceeded to'inves~ tigate as to the cause, and found a man lying alongside the railroad tricks. The man said “turn me over I am freezing to death.” Mr. Foster went back to the house and securing g lan- tern, with his cousin George Foster re- turned to where the man lay. On investigation he found that the ‘poor follow had met with an accident _ . or Weiler’s train which had passed own the road a few moments before. ~.. A door was secured and the man was placed on it. In lifting him from the :snow it was found that both of his legs were separated from his body. He was carried to Mr. Frank Foster’s barn near by, and Doctors Huntington and Baldwm summoned. _ o ' It was learned that the unfortunate man’s name was Michael Lynch, that he was the only son of a widowed mother who lived in New Milford, and that he was engaged as a brakeman. Ho sald that .at the time of the acci- dent he was attempting to climb up the side of the car but that his hands were so benumbed with the cold he lost his .hOId and .fell between the cars, the. wheels passing over his legs. Even as he was talking he was so ’chilled_through he did not fully realize the extent of his injuries. He asked the. doctor though if he thought his in- ]uries would prove fatal, and on being answered in. the affirmative cried out “Oh what W111 my poor mother think. Give her my love,” etc. Dr. Huntington administered a hy- perdermic 1n3ection to allay the pain and quiet him. In the meantime on the arrival of the train, at the station Lynch was mlssed by Conductor Weiler, and a brakeman was sent back with a lantern, the tram also slowly backing up. It was feared that Lynch had fallen from the train as he was known to have been all right after the train left Winni- pauk. The train was signalled by young Foster and stopped. _ _ The unfortunate man was then placed in the caboose and taken to South Norwalk accompanied by Dr. Hunt? ington and Mr. Foster. He was placed in the baggage room of the »- Consol- idated road and Coroner Burke sum- moned. There being no chance of his surv1v1ng no surgical operation was performed. The victim remarkably enough lived until 5 o’clock this morn- ing [when he died. He remained in a semi-conscious state until the last. Hls mother has been advised of the. terrible accident. The "remains were taken to Gregory’s morgue. Norwalk Cats. . .It is a no less curious than it is an interesting fact, that the line of cats so attractively heading the Borough of Norwalk’s Safety Vault Calendars, were the property of a N orwalk lady and arranged by her and taken to Photo- grapher Biackman for their pictures in various positions, notably in a lady’s work basket. Thrifty Photographer Blackm'an conceived the idea of taking 12.

Nearly seventy-fiye members of the State Board. of Trade assembled at Bridgeport, yesterday, those from Nor- walk being ’Messrs. E. J. Hill and O. E. Wilson. The meeting was called to order by President J. D. Dewell of New Haven. He then read his annual report in which. he referred to the‘ growthof the board during the year and alluded to the reception of the new members. The report of Treas- urer Barnes was then read and showed an expenditure during the year of $281.- 92, with a balance now on hand of $2.73. The report was accepted. Messrs. C. B. Ware of New London and F. B. Rice of Waterbury were ap- pointed tellers, and- the election of of- ficers was begun. President J. Dewell was renominated,,and on mo- tion one ballot was cast for.him by the secretary. ‘Mig Dewell has held the office since the organization of the state board three years ago. He ex- pressed thanks for the honor conferred upon him. He spoke of the import- ance of the board, and advised 'all the local boards to co~operatewith,the state board in advancing the intereSts- of the Nutmeg state. ‘ . “ '” The following vice-presidents were then elected: C.,-R. Brothwell of Bridge- port, Frederic Bill of Groton, H. W. Spencer of Guilford, P. H. Woodward of Hartford, R. O. Cheney of Man- chester, John McGinley of New Lon- don; E. J. Hill‘of Norwalk. H. H.

Bailey ,of Danbury. Among the'subjects discussed were a bill for regulating itinerent vendors ; they'quostion of interchangeable mil- eagegickets; the question of a perma- nentscensus bureau. . Thai-report of. becommitteo on the improvement of roads was-read. The commitoe has held several meetings and appointed a sub-committee, which conferred with Judge H. C. Robinson, and drew up a. bill which they presen- ted to the board for adoption. They recommended that a committee of five be appointed to present the bill to the Legislature, advocate its passage, and secure an appropriation to carry out its provisions. . The bill provides for the appomt- ment of a highway commission of three members who shall virtually have entire charge of the roads of the state. The report was accepted and a motion for the adoption of the recom- mendation made. The matter was discussd by P. H. Woodward of Hartford, who said that the bill would revolutionize the system "of’caring for the roads which for years have boon‘under the care of the towns. “The expenses .would be too heavy for the smaller and poorer towns.” He said: “The increase of boards and offices tended to take the power out of the hands of thepeople. Such com- missions are houses of refuge for de- cayed politicians and it is they who fill them. The only objectof the men who fill them often ”is to perpetuate their own offices and the less. of them we have the better. - E. J. Hill of Norwalk said: ”The condition of a road is determined by the worst spot in it. The roads should be improved by the state. he introduced to give each town not more than $10,000, to be used on hlgh- ways, if the town will expend a like amount. This will give a great sum to the selectmen to do with as they please and the chances of corruption are great. The good roads are bound to come, and they might better come un- der the charge of the state. I move to strlke out the figures in the bill.” The bill provides that the expenses for road 1mprovemont should_not exceed $150,» 000 In any one year. The amendment was accepted by the committee and the recommendation as amended adopted w1th but a single vote against it, Mr. Woodward being the hopeless minori- ty. A form of petition to the Legisla- ture was then presented by the com- mittee and it was voted that a copy of it be sent to each local board. The report of the committee on the “ fortification of Long Island Sound was read, and the committee continued for another year. The question of the registration of partnerships was next taken up, and after considerable discussion the re- port was accepted. Mr. ‘E J. Hill thought it was interfering with private business and opposed the proposed bill. The following resolution was then passe : “That the Connecticut state board of trade urge upon the Legislature the adoptlon of such legislation as will compel the registration of partnerships, and of firms domg business under as- sumed names and as agents for others. ” _The sewage and several other ques- tions were. brought before the meeting but no action was taken on them. The selectibn of the meeting place for next ear was left to the president and score ary. New London will prob- ably be selected. ‘ O. —-Hale’s Emulsion, 50 cents. 526 tf A bill is to knee one Gent.

TEATCHER GRAVES. Mrs. Barnaby was not in good health and much of her time was spent in seek- ing a prolongation of a. already fairly spent life. In the course of her \Wander- ings she came to Denver. Here she met her death, after drinking some whiskey which was labelled, “From your friends in the woods.” That whiskey contained poison and Dr. Graves was immediately associated with the sending of it. His trial and convic- tion are recent enough to be well remem- bered. The evidence was somewhat light and entirely circumstantial and a some- what general opinion prevailed that the Doctor was being railroaded to the gal- lows by Western justice. He and his friends fought hard, Mrs. Barnaby’s rela- tives doing all in their power to defeat them. Now Graves seems to be a winner, but there is no acquittal of the crime charged. It is simply a mystery. SATOLLI’S RESIDENCE. .111 Reports to the contrary, It Will belie the Catholic University. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. —— Monsignor Satolli, the newly appointed Papal legato, will make his permanent residence at the Catholic University in this city. The cable dispatch from Rome saying that no American legation will be established, is explained by Monsignor Satolli’s repre- sentative here as simply meaning that no official legation such as are maintained by foreign governmenis for diplomatic pur- poses will be established. Monsignor Satolli has, of course, been given no in- structions as to where he will reside, but has already decided to locate at the uni- versity in the suburbs of this city, where he is now stopping. This statement was made by Dr. O’Gorman, who acts as Monsignor Satolli’s spokesman at the university. .0 ~—-Dana’s Sarsapar illa. You can find itoat Druggist. Hale’s: 526 tf .
