A stupendous and unprecedented vol- ume of speculation in shares and bonds of the Philadelphia. and Reading Rail- road and a coincident crash in prices _ during the past three days convulsed the stock exchanges Of Philadelphia, New York and London. - ' This phenomenal movement, says the Herald, brought about the culmina- tion which occurred last evening, when that great railway system was placed in the hands of receivers. ,, It is difficult at present to get a. clear idea of the detailed causes of the company’s downfall, but in a general way it appears to be due to the attempt to acquire control of the New York and New England road, while friends of the Consolidated were out gunning for it. At all events, the great American. public will rejoice at the destruction of a power that combine to grind the poor in their coal supply. 00. Hugh’OfDOnnell. There was strong evidence at the trial of Hugh O’Donnell at Pittsburg that he did not take part in the mur- derous attacks of the rioters on the river bank upon the men in the barges, but did his best to stop them‘ and to. dissuade the strikers from becoming criminals. It was in evidence'says the Norwich Bulletin, that he expostulated against the use of force on several easions, that he shared prominently in the work of protecting the captured watchmen from the fiends who wanted to torture them after they were dis- armed, and it was not shown that he directed or advised or shared in the use of deadly-weapons. His acquittal must not be misconr strued as it will be if taken as an en- dorsement of the crimes of the men who attacked the watchmen. It-means simply that there was no proof that he took part in those crimes. ‘ It is proven and has always been admited that he was leader in the strike and shared the determination of the other leaders to force the com- - pany into a surrender of its position. Thismay or may not be an offence. Any 'Ty, it is not murder and he was not tried for it, but for murder. There was no proof that he committed or aided or abetted any one else in committing murder. Therefore he was acquitted as he should have been. COO FeebleAttempt at Revenge. Officer Morehouse received a com- munication Saturday to the effect that the GAZETTE was employing four chil- dren in such a manner as to Violate the educational laws. —Sent1nel. The esteemed Sentinel’s willing stab at the GAZETTE was written, as we are informed, by the same pitiable crea- ture who addressed the following libel- ous letter to Officer Morehouse : N OBWALK, CONN., Feb. 18, 1893. B. N. MOREHOUSE, Esq, Sm :—Having been informed that you are the truant officer, this is toin- form you that there are now employed in the office of the NOBWALK GAZETTE four children under the age of sixteen years. These children are continuously em- ployed, never taking any vacatIOns for the purpose of attending school as re- quired by law.

Out of sheer pity, we had given this Arnold work for over two years and had retained him long after he had come under well grounded suspicion of betraying confidences that came , to him as a compositor, as well as being offensive to the entire force of this office. Last Saturday, after due notice given him, he Was dismissed by the foreman, when he threatened dire ven- geance therefor and the above ishis feeble and futile effort to carry out his wicked and ungrateful purpose. The GAZETTE has no one in its employ, in violation of Connecticut’s just and hu- mane school law. and is only the victim of the malice of an ingrate’ ; facts which the esteemed Sentinel could easily have learned had it wishedto do so.

Unconscious Humor. There was recently evolved a bit of unconscious fun on Issues street that would rival the best and most innocent wit of the latest importation from the Emerald Isle, that “gem uv the sac.” A thrifty little housewife, whom we will call Mrs. Gilroy, because that is not her name, was solicited -by her honest and sober-sided Celtic washer- woman to purchase half of a pig she was about to have slaughtered. Said .Bridget, “Shure Maam, it’s the illi- gentest pig yez ever seen in all yez life; it’s a darlint an’ no misthake ; fur havn’t ’Oi taken the darlint in me arms and hugged an’ kissed it like a baby, as it is ; and shure havn’t O’i schrubbed an’ soaped him iv’ry Saturday wid me washin’ suds, an’ made him shine, clane an’ swate as the \Vardin’ himself _: an’ it’s clane enough he was, to go to mass, so he was ; an’ didn’t the childer all tind an’ love him like one uv the fam- ily, so they do. . But o’im a poor woman an’ must kill the darlint, for our winter’s mate an’ shure it’s half uv_ him o’id loike yez to have now, Mis- tress—an’ wouldn’t yez take it?” “Well, I don’t know, but I would like to lay down a bit of pig pork for winter, just as father used to do up in the country.—It’s so nice to fry with, and boil with vegetables,” said Madam. “But how much w0uld half your pig be worth, Bridget ?” “Well, it’s mesel’ as can’t jist tell. I don’t know, but the naburs sez as pork an’ pigs has gone up and shure it’s mcsel’ that has me heart achin’ that o’iv got to murd- ther the pig at all, at all; but mo na- burs says as how half the pig ought to bring me nine dollars, it,s such a hate, swate an’ illigent pig.” “Nine dollars seems a good deal for half a young pig,” quoth Madam. Then a bright and happy idea struck the Madam and lit up her really intelligent brow and il- lumined her whole face, as she thus en— ded the coloquy and clinched the bar- gain. "Wcll, Bridget.” said she, “I’ll do this with you, for I really want to help you, for you’ve been so obliging to me an’ done your laundry work so unusually well. I’ll take half of your pig and as it will be easier for you, I’ll let you come and work out the nine dollars due for it.” Poor Bridge looked puzzled. and bewildered for a moment and then her face flushed with a sort of feeling that in someway she had done her mistress injustice in not clearly getting at her payment propo- sition, and then with effusive volubility replied—“Och, share I will an’ o’ill be so plased that yez is havin‘ the pig an’ O’ill cum an’ work out the nine dol- lars wid yez, so I will ;an’ o’ill sind the pig, doun shure, soon as o’i gets him butchered, so o’i will.” Late in the night watches, the ex- treme ludicrousness of Madam’s plan of payment for the pork. burst on her reason, when she broke forth in a con- vulsive fit of hysterical laughter. This awakened hubby, and before she could control herself sufficiently to explain the cause of this unusual midnight eruption of excessive mirth, he became scared out of his wits, thinking the poor wife had become insane. This is the only serious part of it, as he has been so ill ever since, that he has not ventured out of doors. The drollest part of the pig story however, remains to be stated. When Bridget next put in her appearance, Madam tried to apologize and to explain the absurdity, but faithful Bridget wouldn’t accept of apology or expla- nation. “No, ~ indade,” protested Brdidget, “It’s mesel’ that ’11 kape to me bargain and yez shall hev the pig an’ I’ll work it out jist as O'i agrade to do it,vso o‘i will, so o’i will.” The B. L. D. is not informed as to the finale of the pig deal, but Bridget hasn’t yet been able to get it through her thick but honest skull. It was one year ago yesterday that the accident occurred on the Danbury road at Cannons in which Engineer John Ford lost his life. Yesterday morning Miss Carrie N or- man called at the Aims House, and told Keeper Hoyt that she had been turned out in the cold by her brothers. Her ears were frozen and her hands nearly so. Mr. Hoyt soon provided for her wants and she is yet an inmate of the house. Keeper Hoyt of the Alms House is of the opinion that if ever a. gale strikes . the building from either the west or the cast it will topple over. It was given a pretty lively shaking by the wind Sunday night. A new building ought to be provided and but two stories high- While engaged in watching a small owl perched On an electric light wire Saturday evening. five women, within the space of as many minutes fell on an icy section of side-walk in front of Bennett’s store. Two of the women were quite severely injured, and all saw an owl surrounded by stars. Butcher Wardwell the other day pur- chased a game rooster of William Mitchell, and also one from O. E. Wil- son. Saturday night he placed them both in one coop, and Sunday morn- ing on gomg to the coop found that the Mitchell free-trader had been knocked out by the Wilson mugwump. Last evening Officer June found a woman helplessly intoxicated on Wall street. It was bitter cold. Hewith much difficulty succeeded in getting her into police headquarters, where she said her name was Mary Griffin. 'W hen it was decided to take her to the sta- tion—house, she refused to go.

They will probably be further engaged on the same work Friday and Satur- day Of this week. The auditing of the accounts of the County commissioners usually takes about two weeks.

There was no water. in the houses and each of them went out and filled several kettles with snow which they got to a boiling tem- perature and applied to the water pipes for the purpose of thawing them out, but without. wished for results.

A sub-committee of the representa- tives of the various city governments of the state held a. meeting in New Haven on Saturday for. the purpose of draft- ing a bill relatmg to street railway companies.

Last evening as George Taft was on his way home his attention was attract- ed to a flame in the front room of Theo- dore Olsen’s house on High street. He ran up on the piazza. and found that a kerosene lamp was on fire. He then gave the door-bell 'several vigorous pulls, and succeeded in arousing Mr. Olsen who had retired. On being told of the situation Mr. Olsen hastily grabbed the lamp, at the risk of being burned, and hurled it out into the snow before any serious damage had been done. NO doubt Mr. Taft’s timely dis- covery saved what might have proved a serious fire. The lamp had been left burning awaiting the return hem e of a member of the family. .. F__...___..__. To Be Tried.

The New York Sun says: The horses not only seem to know their own names but also the names of each- other. A court scene in which the jackass suggestively pre- sided as judge, and in which the vari— ous animals took the part of counsel, jury, prisoner, officers, etc., was quite a. surprising feature of the entertain- ment. A military drill was also given by the horses, in which they. acted to- gether with a reat deal of precision, obeying the or ers as they were given by the Professor promptly and intelli- gently. The drill inolu'ded various movements, by company and platoon, and in the end their evolutions became quite complicated. Finally, when they werehdrawn up in a. line, a little horse with jingling sleigh bells came in with a. dispatch in his mouth, giving news of battle, The closing was the battle scene, in which the horses rushed to the charge, fired cannons, and ‘capered ghout the fstage, making an exciting cone. ‘ . ~ I ~ . . 'Muslcal Notes- “Standard Music” is a term “applied to works of the highest order ‘of merlt written by living composers. In an- other generation or so they may be “classical,” but at present‘they lack that element of age and long usage, which isthe final test before admission can be obtained to the somewhat exclu- sive realm of “ classical ” music. Among the “standard” composers, Sir Arthur Sullivan occupies a very prominent place. His. Church music is uniformly good, and his operas, through which he is most generally known, are especially interesting in that they are singularly free from those objection- able features common to so many light- er operas. , Chas. Gounod is another well known standard writer, when reputation was first made in opera, and in later years in oratorio. ' Two other foreign composers of note Xavier Scharwenka- and Dr'. Anton Dvorah are men at the head of musical conservatines in New York city. Then comes a long list of living American composers, who have gained more or less distinction, and are pre- ari-ng to win still greater fame at the orld’l Fair, at which time certain dates have been set apart for the per- formance of music by American com- posers, in order to show the older na- tions what this new country has accom- plished in that direction.

At the accepted ratio of total population to children of school age, that indicates an increase in the state of over 17,000 persons in one year. The indicated increase for two and a half years immediately following 1890 census is about 31,000.
