The Gazette has the largest cir-

An Extra Gazette.
An issue of the DAIL'Y GAZETTE will
shortly be published in the interest of
Norwalk, East Norwalk and South
N orwalk, and is intended to embrace a
complete list of the business and pro-
fessional men, showing what facilities
we have to offer to manufacturing and
other industries to locate in the town.
This issue will give unusual advantage’s
to our business men to widely circu-_
late their interests. An authorized
agent for the GAZETTE will call on the
business and professional men, and we
feel confident they will give the enter-
prise their hear ty support.
Representative Appointments.
The President is filling the offices
leisurely.
importance have been sent to the Son-
ate, two for appointments at home and
two abroad, and all but one of these.
had been already made known. ‘
Massachusetts gets two of the four,
and both are representative. Josiah
Quincy, the sixth of the name, who
becomes Secretary Gresham’s assist-
ant, is a conspicuous type of the young
native Democracy of the Bay State,
while Patrick Collins, who goes to
London as Counsul General, repre-
sents the allied type of clean young
Democrats of foreign parentage who
have helped to liberalize the Puritan
stock and to change the political com-
plexion of Massachusetts. '
Appointments to the leading places
in the diplomatic and consular service
have been generally treated, under all
governments, as a personal recognition
of public services, whether in politics
or otherwise, and the nomination of
EX-GOVGI‘HOI‘ Gray, of Indiana, for the
mission to ‘dexico, will be accepted as
proper and fit. Mr. Gray is a man of
mark, who was a not unhopeful candi-
date for the nomination to the Presi—
dency, and no one will begrudge him
this agreeable and honorable retire-
ment,’in which he will represent the in-
terests of the country creditably.
The one appointment that’has some
political importance is that of Robert
A. Maxwell to be Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General, the official who
immediately controls the removals and
appointments of country postmasters.
He is an experienced politician of
northwestern New York, who has been
State Treasurer and in other ways in-
fluential, and it is to be noted that he
belongs to the anti-Hill wing,of the
party. Thus whatever efficiency he
may develop as a headsman is likely to
be exerted toward building up the
strength of the administration in that
State.
There is plenty of speculation at ’
Washington about the big prizes in‘
the diplomatic service, but as Mr.
Cleveland has a way of making his own
selections and letting them be known
as soon as made, guessing is more than
usually unprofitable.

Another S‘torm Advancing.
As the anniversary of our great March
blizzard draws near it will be well to
watch the powerful storm reported in
the West, with its vertex now in the
neighborhood of Chicago. As yet its
snowfall is inconsiderable, and its
precipitation will be mainly in the
shape of rain if it continues to advance
in its present eastrely course. If how-
ever, it should deviate slightly it may
be accompanied by heavy snow near
and north of this latitude to-night and
tomorrow.
In any event, as it passes east of our
Atlantic coast line there is every proba-
bility that it will become 0. dan ‘
cyclone, rivalling that of Th ,
1112M, which created gales of . ”
fity miles an hour on the lower ': -
England coast._ Coastwise shipping
should, therefore proceed with great
caution at this time and be proper,

motion of the defendants for a bill of

vs. the New York, Providence & Bos-

being now under a lease to the Con-

tractor, had the contract for some .of
the grading work connected with the
building of the big drawbridge over the
Thames river at New London.
Last month he brought suit under
the “common courts” section of the
practice act, asking 'for damages for
$1,000 and costs. The defendants
allege lack of knowledge of liability to
the plaintiff and ask that he be ordered
to file a'bill of particulars. Owing to
the absence in Texas of Levi Warner,
attorney for the plaintiff, the case went
over for a week. Stoddard, Bishop &
Shelton are for the defendants.

' ;: FIFTY FAMILIES DRIVEN FROM
THEIR ‘ HOMES.
Towns, Along the Susquehanna in
Danger. ,
ROCHESTER, N. Y., March 11.—Reports
from Mount Morris say that the Genesee
River has swept over banks in a big flood
and has driven from their homes 50
families who live in that part of Main
street known as “The Flats.”
The race which feeds the mills and
factories is a torrent, swarming with
big cakes of ice. No loss of life is re-
ported. The flood entered the Royal
Salt Company’s plant and coming in con-
tact with a quantity of lime set fire to the
establishment. The fire was extinguished
before much damage had been done.
The ice jam reaches from Mount Mor-
ris to Genesee, a distance by river of 35
miles. At that place the ice is nearly
bank high on both sides of the river.
The river has not been in so dangerous a
condition in 50 years. The Canaseraga
Creek is also over its banks and is back-
ing up across the flats cast of Mount
Morris, and hundreds of acres of land are
submerged.
-_.In this city the Genesee river is be-
tween two and three feet higher than on
Thursday. An attempt was made yester-
day afternoon to break the ice near the
dam by exploding dynamite on it, but it
proved unsuccessful. The ice just above
the jail dam measured 24 inches thick.
At Elmira the Chemung river has risen
about 11 feet since yesterday afternoon,
but no great damage has been done in
that city beyond flooding a number of
cellars. Newtown and Hoffman Creeks,
which run through the eastern and west-
ern sections of the city, respectively, are
over their banks, and cellars in those
vicinities are filled with water.
The Erie Railway bridge at Welisbury
was’damaged’ last night to such an extent
thattrains on that road were run via the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western be-
tween Elmira and Waverly. A bridge in
the town of Rathbunvllle, Steuben
county, was carried away edrly yesterday
morning, and another bridge near Addi-
son shared-the same fate. A number of
bridges in Schuyler county were reported
unsafe yesterday. Havana and Watkins
are both partly inundated.
A dispatch from Niagara Falls this
afternoon says the 'rains and thaw are
causing no end of trouble in the eastern
end of that city, above and near the
Schlosser landing. Gill creek has ovar-
flowed its banks, and while the ice still
holds in the bed of the creek, it is hourly
expected to break. If th’is happens, at
least three bridges will be carried away. ‘
SCHENEOTADY, N. Y., March 11.—-The
outlook aloug the Mohawk at present is
very threatening. Above toe city, among
the islands, great fields of ice are messed.
Unless these melt, it is feared the water
will be forced upon Edison Park and
flood that portion of the city, which in-
cludes the big plant of the Edison Gen:
eral Electric Company.
At Elizabeth the Rahway river has
overflowed its bounds, and the flood was
steadily rising today. At high tide the
water was within a few inches of the
tops of the arches of the several bridges.
The current ran like a mill race, and
swept along everything within reach.
WILKSBARRE, Pa., March 11.—0ne of
the largest floods in many years threatens
the Wyoming Valley. The immense
snowfall of the past few weeks was fol-
lowed by heavy rain, last-ing two days.
The Susquehanna, which was bank full of
ice here, began to-rise this morning and
this afternoon is twenty-threefeet above
low-Water markand is still rising. .
The ice is gorged between Coxton and
Nauticoke, ‘a distance of 20 miles, and
it is packed so tight that there is little
hope of its‘ passing out for some days.
The water has alrrady covered the flats
between this city and Kingston, and all
traffic with the Westside of the ‘river is
Suspended. The electric railway is sub-.
merged, and no cars were run since 8
o’clock yesterday morning.
At west Nauticoke the'water now cov-
ers the DelaWare, Lcakawanna and‘West-
ern Railroad tracks, and trains were run-
ning late on that roadlfikstevehing.
THE RAPID EAR‘ITAN.
It Rises Above its ranks and Much Dam-
age Reéults.
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J ., March 11.—
The Raritan river is rising at a rapid rate
owing to the recent heavy rain, and there
is danger of a serious overflow or fres'het.
Two hundred feet of the new temporary
bridge, which was only finished Wednes-
day, have been sovept away by the strong
current. '
The lowlands along the river are com-
pletely under water.
If the river continues to rise it is feared
the lower part of the city will be flooded.
The contractors engaged in building a
pier in the canal have been forced to stop
work on‘ account of the high water.
Murdered by a Burglar.
FORT PLAINS, N. Y., Mai-eh 11.—-Henry
Grouse, a wealthy farmer,,60 years old,
living a mile from here, was murdered by
a b‘ih'gliir, who broke in the door and shot
Grouse, killing him instantly. Mrs.
Grouse blew out the light after a. lively
scuflie with the murderer and put him to
flight Without any booty. Grouse was a
second cousin of D.‘ Edgar . Crouse,the
Syracuse millionaire, and, was estimated
to be worth $80,000 or $100,000; There il
no' clue to the murderer. ‘

He was engaged in coupling a car when
he struck a telegraph pole near Mar-
shall street, South Norwalk, and was
thrown on the track, the wheels of the
locomotive passing over his arm and
terribly mangling that member. He
was taken to the baggage room where his
arm was amputated by Drs. Burke and
Bohanan. Later he was placed on a
{grain and taken to the hospital at Dan-
ury.

Treasurer Nebeker Resigns--Wash-
ington Notes.
WASHINGTON, March 11.—Repre3enta- '
tive Henderson of Iowa, who has been
eight years on the House Committee on
Appropriations, has just issued an analy-
sis of the work of the Fifty-second Con-
gress, supplemented‘to those of Allison,
Holman and Dockery. Mr. Henderson
gives the total appropriations, including
permanent appropriations, at $1,026,822,-
049.72, exceeding the Fifty-first Congress
by $3,404,856.38, an increase of $115,707.42
for each Congressional District in the
United States.
He notices the charge that the Senate
makes the large appropriations, and calls
attention to the fact that the House, at
the session just closed, sent its bill to the ‘
Senate for 351368734202, or at the rate of
over $1,027,000,003 per aii-num. .‘The House
is a “billion-dollar _ ” for its bills
\for the Fifty-second Congress aggregated
$1,004,178,614.70 before they reached the
Senate.
lie shows that in addition to appro pri-
tlons actually made by the Fltty— second
Congress it auchor‘ized contracts mort-
gaging future rei‘enues in the sum Of $58,-
526,621. He says that if the Fifty-second
Congress seeks to excuse itself by charg-
ing its (xtravagance to the legislation of
the Fifty-first Congress, then the latter
Congress can make similar claims against
its Democratic predecessor and the Fifty-
second Congress aggregating over $91,-
000,000.
To guard against a. deficit Mr. Hender-
son warns the administration to give
closer attention to “ moonshiners ” and
the “ whiskey ring” in collecting inter-
rial revenue than it did from 1885 to 1889,
when it collected $1,095,982.04 Tess than
President Arthur and $115,358,524.73 less
than President Harrison.
He shows that the retiring administra—
tion paid $293,316,9312) on the public
debt, saving in interest $5,352,493.51 an-
nually. _ ‘
Mr. Henderson touches on pensions,
showing from the Pension Bureau that
the rolls will reach their highest point on
December 31, 180-1, with 1,171,918 on the
rolls, including invalids, Widows, orphans‘
and dependent parents, the annual value
91131191011381) that date being $155,865),- ._
094; that in 189.3 there will 'be dropped
from the rolls 41,932 pensioners, with an
increasing ratio thereafter.
Referring to the complaint against
widows’ pensions, he shows that if all
widows’ claims yet undisposed of are al-
lowed there would be 700,834 dead soldiers _
unrepresented on the rolls by a widow
an orphan, or a dependent parent. -
He also points out the danger to the
Treasury from War claims, and says that
COngress now has the data to show that
about $600,000,000 may yet be drawn from
it to satisfy their demands.
United States Treasurer Nebeker has
placed his resignation in the hands of
the President. He has received a notb
from President Cleveland stating that he
will accept it at the earliest possible
moment. The new Treasurer will be re-
quired to give a bond of $300,000. When
the office changes hands all the money in
the Treasury will. have to be counted.
This will require a, force of 60experts,
cOunters and 30 assistants, and involves
two m'onths’ hard work before the task
céu be accomplished. At its completion
the bond of the old Treasurer is released.
Acaudidate for the Postmastership of .-
New York city appeared at the White
House yesterday in the person of Maurice
J. POWer. He was accompanied by Col.
Robert Mpnroe and Judge Paul Mc-
Hal'pin. -
The statistician of the Department of
Agriculture estimates the proportion of
wheat in farmers’ hands at 26.2 per cent.“
of the last crop—the smallest percentage
in '10 years. The quantity on hand agg’re—
'gates 135,000,000 bushels, 36,000,000 bushels
less than last March and 23,000,000 more
than the remnant of the very small crop
of 1890. "The quantity of corn on hand,
as estimated, aggregates 626,847,370
bushels, 38.5 per cent. of the last crop._
This propOrtion has been exceeded in
March four' times in the last 10 years, and
the quantity has been exceeded five times.“
Secretary Lamont has appointed John .
Seager private Secretary in place of S. D.

000 of gold for a like amount of small
Treasury notes of the denominations of
$5, $10 and $20. Intimations were made 1‘2
that theamount of small notes that will
be needed will reach $10,000,030, for which ‘
gold will be pbid. - . .
