An Extra Gazette.
An issue of the DAILY GAZETTE will
shortly be published in the interest of
the town of Norwalk, and is intended
to embrace a complete list of the busi-
ness and professional men, showing
what facilities we have to offer to man-
ufacturing and other industries to lo-
cate in Norwalk. This issue will give
unusual advantages to our business
men to widely circulate their interests.
An authorized agent for the GAZETTE
will call on the business and profession-
al men, and we feel confident they will
give the enterprise their hearty support.
Gresham for Seoretaay of State.
It is reported that Mr. Cleveland has
offered the office of Secretary of State
to Walter Q. Gresham, of Indiana.
Judge Gresham’s acceptance is not yet
made public. Although his name has
been often mentioned as a possible
member of the new Cabinet, it had not
been connected with this particular of-
fice. The announcement, therefore, has
the effect of a surprise.
“Assuming the truth of the report,
itis,” says the World, “ an example of
Mr. Cleveland’s political boldness thus
to call to what is nominally the first
place among his advisers one who has
never definitely joined the Democratic.
party. Judge Gresham is a conspicu-
ous representative of the great host of
former Republicans who have broken
with their party, and have brought the
Democratic party into power. '
“Of Judge Gresham’s great ability
and high character,” continues the
Wprld, “ there can be no question. He
is thoroughly American in all his in-
stincts and training. He is devoted to
the free trade principles upon which
the Democratic party won its latest
triumph, and to the establishment of
which it is pledged. On the tarifi‘, on
the finances and currency he is instrict
accord with the declared doctrines for—
mulated at Chicago. In brief, he has
trusted in the good faith of the Demo-
cratic party. Moreover, he has con-
science, convictions, patriotism and no-
ble courage.”
In ofi'ering hima high place in the
councils of the Administration,whether
it is accepted or declined, the ‘Presi-
dent-elect gives to the country a su-
preme guarantee that the Democratic
party has not invited the confidence of
its “honorable allies” in order to be-
ray it. -
Democrats of the Gunn stripe, who
look on all such accessions to their party
as Judge Gresham and Judge Simeon
Baldwin, as unwelcome interlopers in-
to the democratic preserves, this re-
ported action of Mr. Cleveland, will be
received with bitter denunciations, for
such political “kickers” view all these
converts as disgruntled republicans,
who sneak into. the democratic camp
to “pass a summer vacation.” Still, the
great mass of honest hearted country-
men of Mr. Cleveland will applaud his
independence, patriotism and courage
Hold the Hand Organ. »
Let us be just toward the organ
grinder. The child of sunny Calabria
is our guest, and so long as he contents
himself with music and spaghetti it
will pay us to encourage him, says the
Washington Post. . . '-‘
In the discussion now pending as
to hand organs and their engineers we
rather think the citizen who wrote to
the Commissioners on Metropolitan
Club stationery has the best of it. He
does not demand the extirpation of the
churner; he simply insists upon the
regulation of the churn.- There is a
demand for cheap melody—a vocation
for the passionate Italian. Perhaps we
liked him best in the old days when he
checker-boarded his legs in gay colors,
were a peaked hat and earrings, and
went aboutwith his bbx upon his back
and J ocko perched on top of all.
Those were the days of romance in
which Romeo put wild feelings into his
crank and nurse—maids’ hearts went.
down before his burning eyes. But,
even now, when the primeval instru-
ment has given way to an imitation of
the average boarding—school piano,
and when'the grinder wears slop-shop
clothes and leaves the “monk” at
home—even now, we say there is a
place for both in our civilization.
We agree that the organs should be
inspected and kept in tune. The melan-
choly strains of “ Marguerite ” become
tOO, painful to be borne when they
reach us in a dislocated form. Mangled '
versions of “ Salve Dimora 7’ racks the
stricken soul, and zig-zag reprod'utions

uses. It would be a proper and most
laudable function of ’our interesting
form of local goverment to provide for
public protection a set of officers whose
duty it were to go about equipped with
tuning fork and a gamut and full au-
thority to arrest and hurl into the

ent with a scheme of government which
looks after our morals on Sunday and
contemplates the next world quite as
ardently as this.

The Deadly Grade Crossing.
The grade crossing juggernaut crush-

day. All were instantly killed. On
the same day a man who had attained
the great age of 104 years was struck
by a_ Baltimore and Ohio, engine and
received injuries from which he will
probably die. It is pitiable indeed
that a man who had lived that long
could not have been allowed to die a
natural death. But all victims are
welcome to the juggernaut. It is no

TREN'roN, Feb. 11.—Just before noon
yesterday the ice jam in the Delaware
river nt Lambertville gave way and the
imménse amount of ice collected there-
and the water which had backed up be-
hind it, rushed down the river. When
the flood struck the blockade at Trenton
Falls the ice there began to break up, and
as the ice from; the jam at Lambertville
pilgd up, its weight, added. to the rush of
the waters, became so great that about 2
o’clock the whole mess began to move
down the river.
The jam below the city stood, however,
and the water in the river opposite the
city rose about 15 feet. All the streets in
lower Trenton were flooded. The water
poured into the fire rooms of the mills
along the banks and then mounted up-
ward,completely putting a stop to all work
and obliging the employes to make their
escape in boats. The ice packed up
against the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge
and reached to withinjour feet of the
tracks.
The blockade gave way at 6 o’clock last .
evening, but little relief was experienced
here as another big, jam formed near
Periwig Bar, near Bordentown, and
stopped the flow of the river completely.
The ice then began working its way
down the river in a solid mass and hold-
ing the great body of water behind it.
Last night the water invaded the pump-
ing station of the waterworks, put out
the fires and stopped all work. Unless
the water recedes soon the city will be
greatly in need of a water supply. Hun-
dreds of muskrats have been killed in the
streets. They have been driven from
their holes along the water front. .
The lower part of the town is now al-
most deserted, and the occupants of the
houses are moving ’their. furniture, fear-
ing the houses may be swept away today.
In Fair street the water came upon
the people so suddenly that they had
to be taken from' the second story
windows in boats. At 10 o’clock the ice

CLEARFIELD, Pa., Feb. 11.-——The resi-
dents of the lowlands along the West
Branch Valley, between Curnwensville
and Clearfield, are threatened with a sec-
ond Johnstown horror. At the former
place is the largesaw-mill of the Our-

wensville Lumber Company, which con- ‘
trols almost all of the timber on the head-
waters of the West Branch and all that
on Anderson Creek, which joins the river
at the mill.
In order to hold the logs that are cut '
during the cutting season, a large boom
is situated at the mill and extends two
miles up the river. At present there are
over 5,000,000 feet of logs in this boom,
and on top of these logs is gorged at least
15 feet of ice.
The ice gorge extends a distance of six
miles, and the water is overflowing the
banks all ‘along the river for a distance of
10 miles, and today it is above the 10-
foot flood mark. As all the ice from Our-
wensville on down has left the course, if
a break occurs the whole gorge may come
here at any minute.

Gould Hoyt’s Pharty. t th
There was a merry gat ering a 9
home of Gould Hoyt, Prospect H111,last
night. Nearly fifty ladies and gentle-
men walked in at an early hour 1n the
evening and immediately prooeeded. to
make themselves at home, 1n which
they were assisted by Mr. and Mrs.
Hoyt who cordially welcomed them all.
Soon after, the entire party was attack-
ed with the dancing fever,and arrange-
ments were quickly _made for. then
treatment by two violinists, and 1t was
not long before all_ were in a whu'l of
excitement, stopping only long enough
to partake of a grand good supper, af-
ter which the dancing wins again re-
sumed and kept up until 1t was almost
time for breakfast. It was nearly 3
o’clock when the last of the happy par-
ty started for home.
