The Gazette has the largest clr— :ulatlon of any paper in Norwalk, and furnishes the lowest advertising rates- Blaine. Soft and low Let bugles blow, And deep toned bell Toll funeral knell. And warriors bold, ’Neath banners’ fold. But low the head— For “Blaine is dead.” Didn’t Do it- Mr. Russell Harrison, according to a telegram from Chicago to-day. has been to; the trouble of denying that be caused the precipitate resignation of Mr. Blaine from the State Department. It is not understood among the well in- formed, that it was this particular member of the Harrison family who provoked that action. Masonic Charity. The editor of the Masonic Depart- ment of the New YOrk Dispatch makes the following pertinent observations, anent the St. John’s Lodge contention with Old Well Lodge: “We have a letter from a valued friend in Norwalk, who states a strange case, and asks an opinion. It seems there are two lodges in Norwalk One of them has a brother who is in distress. The lodge to which he belongs is car- ing for him, in just what manner we are not informed. The other lodge in Norwalk, we understand, did not like the style in which the needy brother was provided for, and came to his re- lief with additional aid. The question now asked is, whether Lodge No. 2, of which the brother is not a member, has a right to charge its contributions to the “brother in distress” to Lodge No. 1, of which he is a member. Off hand, we would say no. but there 'may be circumstances surrounding the case of which we have no knowledge that would change the aspect of the mat- ter. ‘ As a matter of abstract law, a lodge is not required to take care of its needy members, but as a time honored custOm, and an universally observed un- written law every Masonic lodge deserv- ing existence atall does so. When a. lodge so far forgets the (cornerstone upon which the fraternity stands, ignores the principle laid down in every de- gree, and neglects the duty taught to the individual member from the first lesson to the last, as to refuse to “help, aid and assist” those in distress who ask for relief, or performs that duty in an indifferent and heartless manner, the sooner such a body of men is dis- banded the better for the good name of the humane, to say nothing of Masonry. A lodge of course must be the judge of the amount and manner of assist- ance rendered, as well as the worthi- ness of the applicant, and, it is 'diflicult to see what right another lodge has to interfere. If Lodge No. 2 thought or thinks the brother is not properly cared for, it may contribute of its means to his relief. Their idea of proper care may difi'er materially from the other, and whatever they do is a voluntary act to be charged against their own charity fund. If one lodge is permitted to give of its funds to . help a brother of another lodge, and charge its gifts against that other lodge, that other lodge may be impov- erished, or put hopelessly in debt. Each lodge must perform its own acts of charity. As we understand the case stated by our Norwalk,friend, it is somewhat different from the ordinary. The dis- pute, if dispute there is between the lodges respecting the brother, has been taken to the Grand Lodge of Connecticut and there settled. After considering the matter, the Grand Lodge directed the lodge of which the brother is a member to pay to lodge No. 2 the amount expended by the lat- ter lodge in his behalf, thereby recog- nizing their charity as a just claim, and indirectly censuring lodge No. 1 fora neglect of duty. There appear matters in this connection that we do not care to discuss. We are unwilling to believe that the Grand Lodge wbuld require an unjust payment by the lodge of which the needy brother is a member. Loyalty demands a quiet ac- ' quiescence in the decision of the high- est court of appeal. Technical evasion of charity, penuri; OHS, Diggardly charity, is unworthy a Mason or a Masonic lodge. And while a lodge may not be bound. technically to render assistance, if it fails to per- form this duty to the great brother» hood of man, it is no more a Masonic lodge than is any social club, and if the fraternity was made up of such bodies it would soon disintegrate, as it .2279 ought to, and gotbpieces. The broth- erly love, relief andtruth upon which each lodge stands is the foundation that has resisted the ravages of time and attacks of war and prejudice. Let the brethren of Norwalk practicescol- lectively what they have been taught individually and such questions will not be presentet .” ' Historical Truth. The Rev. Dr.. R. S. MacArthur, in ' the course of a sermon largely devoted to the career of James G. Blaine, at Calvary Baptist Church, New York, Sunday night said: “For the first time since its occur- - rence the true story of the Burchard incident may be told now. I may be permitted to say that all the facts con- nected with it are known by me, and that in my judgment the time has now come when they should be fully stated. It was Supposed by many that Dr. Burchard deliberately uttered the secure Mr. Blaine’s defeat. “I used my influence at that time to relieve Dr. Burchard from this reproach. It is but justice now to him to say that these suspicions were utterly unfounded, and that five minutes before he began his address he did not know, and could not have known, that he was to be asked to speak. ‘ “It is due to Dr. Burchard’s memory that this statement be made. Nothing can be more certain than that he spoke what he deemed truthful words, and spoke them honestly on' this occasion. He told me afterward that the only error, was that he spoke too much truth): Of the dead statesman Dr. MacArthur said: , “James G. Blaine was the most bril- liant figure during the past thirty years in American life. Next to those great leaders, Bismarck and Gladstone,Blaine was the first statesman of the age. He was great as a thinker, great as a writer, great as an author, great as a. statesman, “With many others in this country I firmly believe that James G. Blaine was elected to the Presidency of the United States. I am informed by reli- able members of the party that Mr. Blaine ran against, that they could, under oath, name the very districts and the very polling booths in which enough votes were taken from Mr. Blaine and given to his opponent to defeat Blaine and give the other candi- date the apparent majority.” Dr. M’Arthur in the last paragraph above, has revealed a fact known to every member of the National and New York State Republican Committees, that Mr. Blaine was elected President by the vote of New York ’and that this vote was “ doctored ” so as to elect his opponent. And here comes in one of the sublimest acts of self-sacrifice ever made lgrfllthis noblest of men and grand- est of statesmen. He was called in to a council held in New York, of the Na- tional Committee and of influential friends, who were determined to ex- pose the fraud and insist on his elec- tion, but he instantly refused to con- sent to any such attempt. Said he, “ We have already had one contested Presidential election and barely es- caped the gravest disaster to the Na- tion. The vote is so close it will be hard to convince great numbers of voters of the opposite party that we have honestly carried the election. Let it go ; the Presidency is not worth the angry turmoil, injury to business and shock to public confidence sure to fol- low such an effort. Let it go ; I will none of it ; the Presidency would come too dear at such a cost.” It is proper to state that he never doubted, any more than did the Re- publican managers of that contest, that he had been legally elected by a far larger majority than that declared for Mr. Cleveland. This, too, explains the incident which will now be recalled, that the New York Tribune continued for two weeks to daily iterate that Blaine was elected, and our own Mr. Fessenden was so certain of it that he assured all of his anxious friends throughout Connecticut of the, to him, undoubted fact. It was also known that the major part of the vote cast for Gen. Butler was transferred to the was the case of Clay’s defeat over again. It is now known and admitted by honest Democrats, that Clay was elected President in 1845, but counted out by means of the Louisiana Plaque- mine frauds. Now that the New York Presidential fraud question has been reopened, it is to be hoped that at least the truth of history may be vindicated. ~—<- Silver To-nght.

' ‘A Hungarian Suilooated in aSink‘ Vault. , ’ He Leaves'a Wife and Children. Probably no more shocking accident over occurred than that which deprived John Sukay of his life yesterday after- noon. Sukay, about 2:45, was noticed staggering along the pathway between Adams’ hat factor and the South N or- walk Forming mil . Nothing more was thought of the matter for nearly an hour, when “ Deacon ” John Taylor, who is employed in Mr. Adams’ facto- ry, while out dumping a wheelbarrow load of ashes, heard groans emana- ting from the closet in the rear of the factory. Naturally supposing it to be the drunken Hungarian, Taylor hasten- ed to find the Chief of Police, to have the man arrested. When he returned, however, the fact was made known that the Hungarian, while in a drunken stupor, had fallen into the closet vault where he had met his death. Dr. Burke was summoned, a hook and rope were procured and Sukay’s body was drawn out on the ground. At this stage of the excitement the unfortunate man’s wife arrived‘on the scene. The cries of dis- tress of the poor woman, as she gazed on her husband lying dead upon the frozen ground, were heartrending. Undertaker Gregory was called and took the remains to the home of the deceased in Whistleville. Sukay was in the 4lst year of his age, and leaves a wife and four children.

The second meeting of the new court of burgesses takes place on Monday evening next. It is expected that the meeting Will be an interesting one as several matters of importance are to be brought up, among others being that of the appointment of the police.

The Desired Effect. The finding of Coroner Doten in the case of Rev. Samuel Orcutt, who re- cently lost his life at the South avenue crossing, in Whlch- the official referred quite strongly to the high rate of speed at which trains on the Consolidated road pass through Bridgeport, has had the desired effect. . On Saturday all the engineers on the road received orders to run their trains at the rate of 10 miles an hour while passing through the thickly settled portions of this city. The order went into effect yesterday. Until four years ago the road was com- pelled by. law to run at six miles an hour, but this was annulled, and since that time the trains have rushed over the dangerous grade crossings at a very rapid speed. ‘ Accidents have been numerous but the matter was not brought forcibly before the public until Coroner Doten rendered his finding in the Orcutt case. ——Bridgeport Post.

Little opposition is expected, says the Danbury News. to the layout of the Danbury & State Line railway which will be submitted to the Rail- road Commissioners of the State to- morrow for their approval. The commissioners will be in session at the county courthouse at 11 o’clock, and property owners through whose land the line of the proposed road passes have been summoned to appear before them and state their grievances if they- have any. - It is hardly probable that the slight- est opposition will appear as options have already been secured upon all the land, and the road will benefit the city find15 surrounding country to a great ex- en . The New York and New England road may be represented at the hear- ing, as the new road will cross that line near the Fair Grounds. As the cross- ing will be overhead it is not likely that the New England can find any fault. It is also expected that the New York, New Haven and Hartford will be rep- resented by counsel. - _ Edward M. Barnum, who is promi: nently connected with the new road, says that in the event of securing the sanction of the commissioners, ground will be broken within thirty days and by spring a large force of men will be engaged in the construction of the road.

USE DANA’S SARSAPARILLA,IT’S “THE KIND THAT CURES.” Many Steamers Laid Up. The present cold season has never been equaled so far as its results upon the oyster industry are concerned, says the New Haven Register. For the past two weeks or more none of the oyster shippin firms in New Haven have been ab e to carry on their trade, With the exception of H. C. Rowe dc Co. About four years ago they caused to be built a much larger and more powerful oyster steamer than any other in the fleet. The model was cut by Henry C. Rowe, the head of the firm, and the plans and specifications made by him, the construction being such as to .en- able the boat to encounter the heaViest ice which makes in this harbor. The two larger steamers of Rowe & Co., the Ruel Rowe and her consort the Gordon Rowe, are the only steamers which have been up and down the Qunnipiac river for more than two weeks. These two dredgers are catching from the beds of H. C. Rowe & Co. in the Sound from 1,000 to 2,000 bushels_of oysters per day. Owing to the difficulty in catching oysters and the consequent inadequate supply the prices have very much advanced, the standards havmg gone from $1.20 per gallon to $1.80, the extras from $1.30 to $1.90 and the se- lects from $1.50 to $2.10. . The difficulties of navigation in_such heavy ice cannot readily be imagined. The heavy copper which protects the boats is torn and stripped off, the planks are out, the steering gear con- stantly liable to accident when the boats back up, to gain a headway to plunge into some unusually heavy ob- struction. The ice encountered was, by measurement, 10 inches thick ten days ago, and is undoubtedly over a foot thick at present. _ _ The boats of Rowe & Co. bring in the oysters to their wharf below Quinni- piac bridge. At present there area number of oyster steamers frozen in the river above the bridge, but With a few days of mild weather the owners hope to be able to break out a channel- way so that they will be able to resume dredging as usual. There is also fro- zen in a schooner that bi ought oysters from the South. At Oyster Point three of the fleet of oyster steamers were recently disabled by their attacks on the ice and they are now being repaired. The laying up of so large a fleet of steamers at Oyster Point and Fair Haven has thrown out of work many employees.
