A Call to Duty.
Annie Farrell Howard, about thirty
years old, mysteriously disappeared
from her home on River street Sunday
evening at seven o’cloc‘k. The indica-
tions are that either she wandered
away in distress of mind as Julia Hall
did, and is now to be found in the
woods or barns within a short radius
from her home, or, more probably,
that she threw herself into the swift
current of the river, and that her body.
is now between here and the draw-‘
bridge. Thisccncernseverybody. Your
friend may disappear next. The fami-
ly is benumbed with terror, and know
not how to start or conduct the search.
Let volunteers be enrolled. Let the
woods and hills be secured. 'Let the
river be dragged and the salt-mead-
ows searched. Annie Howard must be
found dead or alive, and every able-
bodied man owes it to humanity to
start out at once.
Washington Notes.
Ex-Senator Eaton of our state is a
familiar figure on Pennsylvania avenue
each sunny day as he takes ‘his consti-
tutional. He asks nothing and expects
nothing of the Cleveland administra-
tion, but many Connecticut democrats
think it would be a graceful thing for
the President to offer him some invit-
ing place at home. or abroad.
The committee changes will probably
receive the sanction of the Senate to-
morrow by resolution, and the old
chairmen will then give up the rooms
they have occupied and the Democrats
will be in possession Of that important
branch of the Senate. Nominations
will then be received and promptly
- acted upon.
Applications for appointment to the
more important positions in the-In-
terior Department have been filed as
follows :
For Commissioner of Patents—Wil-
liam E. Wheeler, Tennessee; Benton
J. Hall, Iowa ; Albert W. iWalker, Con-
necticut, and Robert Mason, District
of Columbia. The following have made
no personal applications, but recom-
mendations for their appointment have
been filed for the same office: James
H. Price, Illinois; Fremont Arford,
Ohio ; John S. Seymour, Connecticut ;
John Allison, Tennessee, and Arthur
Steuart, Maryland.
The President has announced his in-
tention of giving the Commissionership
of Pensions to an Eastern man,.if a
suitable person can be found for that
highly important and responsible place.
Ex-Congressman McKinny of New
Hampshire, is an applicant and his
friends think he has an encouraging
prospect of getting the place.
It has been given out at the White
House that in the selection of consuls,
. especially to neighboring republics to
the South, the President will be gov-
erned more by a man’s business quali-
fications than by his past services to
the party. It is his desire to select
men of. ccmmercial training, who by
that training will be rendered prompt
to see commercial openings for the
Umted States in the countries to
which they are assigned and to re-
,port their observations to the home
Government with clearness and dis-
patch. This ruling, for it amounts to
a ruling, is another wet blanket which
has descended upon the already chilled
and shuddering forms of the legion of
thefaithful who have crowded the
White House halls in the hope of al-
most anything they could get. Of the
applicants for consulates who have so
far presented themselves, six out of
ten are far more conspicuous for abil-
ity to make a stump speech and for
familiarity with the latest election ta—
bles-than for business qualifications.
Mrs. Howard Still Missing.
_ No new developments in the search
for Mrs. William Howard, who has
been missing since Sunday evening,
are announced. The search is being
continued in a vigorous manner, but
without any clue as to the woman’s
whereabouts being gained. Nothing is
being left undone to find her, and it
would seem as if every inch of ground
hereabouts had been gone over seve al

Warden Sloan and Clerk Hubbell read
the call. .' _
Mr; 0.5.B. Coolidge was recognized
by the chair, and said that in view of
the unusual assesment made by the
board of assessors, in his opinion the
best way to get at the matter was to
rescind the former vote laying the tax
and adjourn until after the final meet-
ing of the board of relief who wouid
doubtles make several corrections in
the assessments made, and at that time
a true grand list could be had and a tax
laid in accordance therewith. _He was
himself in favor of a tax being laid
whereby the borough need'not get in
debt during the current year.
. A motion that the vote- at a
meeting passed January 1601], 1803 as
incorporated in the call no rescinded
was passed by an unanimous vote.

OPERA HOUSE.
The'Nibbe French Burlesque com-

pear a? ‘ ho N orwalk Opera. house next
Tuesday evening. The entertainment
given by this Company is replete with
new and novel features and is guaran-
teed tO please all and ofi‘end none.
Their costumes are new and elegant,
and the press wherever they have ap-
peared speak in the highest terms of
the company. _ ,
OPERA HOUSE.
The Early Birds at the Opera House,
last night, had every appearance of
having been born early in the present
century, but they were nevertheless
very entertaining, and the company
gave an excellent show. The special-
ties were all good. The eccentric
musical act of James Carmenelli in
which he introduced and found music
in a variety of instruments including a
cuspidoro and a violin about the size of
a five cent sandwich, was very fine.
Loring and Leslie in the Irish sketch
artists; were; good, as were also the
musical artists Carroll and Elmer.
The “big three” Sparks, Richards and
Haley, were simply immense, and kept
the_audience convulsed in laughter
during the entire time they were on
the stage. The performance conclud-
ed with tho burlesque of the “Pirates
Last Cruise” by the entire company.
unmn AKERSTROM.
Ullie Akerstrom commences a brief
engagement here at the Norwalk Opera
House on Thursday evening March 23.
She will remain three nights with a
matinee on Saturday. On Thursday
evemng she will have the pleasure of
presenting for-the ’first time in the city
an entirely new version of her success-
ful play “ Miss Rora.” This play can
truly be styled an all satisfying play.
It has sufficient of the emotional to
move the feelings of the most indiffer-
ent, and the comedy element is so fair-
ly distributed that it has never failed
.to meet with universal approbation.
On Friday evening the plea-sing come-
dy “The Ballet Dancer” will be pre-
sented. This has been in the past the
most successful of Miss Akerstrom’s
presentations and at the present time
still retains its popularity. At the mat-
inee on Saturday “ Miss Rora ” will be
repeated, and Saturday evening Miss
Akerstrom’s. new play “That Smith
Gal” will be presented. Miss Aker-
strom in the character of Margery gives
a charming illustration of what a pret-
ty unsophisticated girl can do under
adverse Circumstances.
She becomes well nigh broken heart-
ed but in time masters the situation
and in‘the end finds a safe refuge in
the encirclin arms of a devoted bus-
band. Miss kerstrom is very pleasing.

Against‘the Bill.
The Democrats Of_Huntington are
Opposed to the proposition to cut Hunt-
ington Out of the Fifteenth Senatorial
and annex it to the Thirteenth district.
There is a bill before the Legislature
asking for the change, but it is a ques-
tion whether it will ever get it by the
Democratic Senate. To add Hunting-
ton to the Thirteenth district would be
to make it a pretty sure Republican
district. There is a‘ big chance for the
Democrats of the {Thirteenth district
to send a Democrat to the State Sen-
ate, but with Hun ' gton annexed to
this district the chance is very much
diminished. ’ '

Ten Sheriffs Attach the Rolling
Stock.
A Suit to Recover One Hundred
Thousand Dollars Brought
Against the Company.
N o fricght trains were moving, in the
yard of the New York.& New England
railroad in East Hartford last night,
and a let 9 force of deputy sheriffs
were 119.1 mg . the property. At 2:30
O’cloc a dozen deputy sheriffs headed
by High Sheriffs Preston of Hartford.
and Tomlinson of New Haven, took a
train in Hartford and went to the New
England yard in East Hartford.
They were headed by Attorney J amcs
Webb of New Haven, counsel for the
fii'm of.St1ckner, Cunnin ham & Co.
or New York, and prompt upon ar-
rival at the yard they attache
rolhng. stock of the New England road
which they could find. The attach-
ment was. made in a $100,000 suit
brought by the New York firm to re-
cover the amount of a large coal bill,
and it is claimed that the action was
brought at the instigation Of the Par-
son men who were defeated at the road
meeting Tuesday. ,
As the sheriff entered the yard about
3 o’clock Engineer Bumbry was just
'startin from the round house with en-
gine o. 48. Sheriff fidfilinson or-
dered hlm to stop and "return to the
house or he would place him under ar-
rest. The engine was run back and
Master Mechanic Humstone was then
summoned before the ten sheriffs. The
writ was read to him and he was-or-
dered to bring all of the locomotives
in the yard into the round house. S1x-
teen engines were collected and after
being run into the house a guard ’of
deputies were set over them. _
Master Mechanic Humstone readily
submitted to the orders of the authori-
ties and after turning over the property
to them he wired to Supt. Hammond
for instructions. The sheriffs ordered
that none Of the New England cars be
moved out of the yard. The cars be~
I‘onging to other roads they did not
bother. The whole force of employes,
about 200, were forced to stop work
when the attachment was levied and no
freight has been moved since. The
officials of the road hurried to Hart-
ford on receipt of the news of the at-
tachment and an effort is being made
to secure the release of the rolhng
stock. ' At the yards last night all was
in strikin contrast to the usual scenes
there. 0 trains were made_up and
moved, while the eight deputies w1th
their-lanterns were alone about the
premises.
Early in the evening some of the
high officials of the New England be-
gan to arrive and there was a burned
conference. It was not thought by the
deputies that any bond con (1 be .83-
cured within a day or two. The high
sheriffs who made the attachment Will
demand a big bond and it is probable
that the officers will take some time to
look into any bond offered to satisfy
themselves t at it is. all right. . '
The delay in moving freight 18 quite
serious and it will virtually result in ty-
ing up the road unless some means can
be devised to obtain a release of the
property.
Late sat night a part of the attached
property was released through ‘the
efforts of Attorney Robbins for the
company. The engines were allowed
to leave the round house but all cars
were held. The lawyer presented a.
check for. $42,000, the amount he claims
the indebtedness to be. He says the
company never owed the New York
firm over $85,000 for coal and de-
nounces the action in strongterms. He
says no effort was made to collect the
bill and had a demand been made for
the money it would have been paid.
The lawyer says the attachment Will
be raised to-day.

Elder Burnham of the Willimantic
colony of-spiritualists, appeared before
the Judiciary committee in behalf of a
b111 givmg spiritualistic mediums or
elders the right to marry people Of this
faith. He explained that at present
sp1r1tualists did not like to be married
by either Catholic or Protestant cler-
gyman, and they were too proud to be
wedded by a justice of the peace, so
that they wanted a minister of their
own sect to do the job. They are in
doubt as to whether aspirtualistic min-
ister has the power under the law to do
so. Editor Lincoln of the Connecticut
Home, the state temperance organ,
also favored the bill. “The Judiciary
committee will report unfavorably,
and they informed the petitioners that
the committee is of the opinion that by
orgamzxng and granting a licence to
some among their number to preach,
the power will be conferred upon the
licentmls to bind the spiritualists in
legal bonds of matrimony. ,. "
An attempt was made in the House
to introduce more new business, but it
was voted dowu, and the House showed
by its temper that it had received all
the business it proposes to transact
this sessmn. The farmers are getting
restless and want to be away.

Democratic Caucus.
About thirty voters assembled at the
democratic caucus, held in the Town
House, (so called) last evening for the
purpose of placing in nomination can-
didates to fill vacancies in the court of
burgesses caused by the resignation of
Burgess'es John B. Buckley and Wil-
liam A. Vogcl.
The caucus was not a very enthusias-
tic one. It was called to order by
Committeeman E. N. Sloan, who was
made chairman of the meeting, and B.
C. Feeney was elected secretary.
A motion that the nominations be
made by acclamatlon prevailed.
Attorney George Honnecker presen-
ted the name of William McMullen.
The vote first taken was held in doubt
by the chair, and he called for a “stand-
ing vote and appointed the secretary to
count noses, who reported twenty for
McMullen and he was declared nomi—
nated. _
Mr. Samuel Weed then presented
the name ofCharles E. Lockwood, and
after assuring the caucus that Mr.
Lockwood would run if nominated and
serve if elected, he was unanimously
nominated.
The resignation of Mr. Sloan as
chairman of the democratic borough
focinmittee was then reluctantlv accep-
e. .
The names of each of the following
gentlemen were offered to fill the va-
cancy all of whom respectfully declined:
Samuel Weed, George A. Honne’cker,
John J. Hanlon, Thomas McMullon,
’William McMullen and Bernard 0.
Feeney. .
It was then suggested that the chair-
man Of the meeting appoint someone
to fill the vacancy; He declined to do
so but said that Mr. Frank Street was
already a member of the committee
and the caucus grasping at the straw
quickly elected him to the chairman-
ship of the committee, after which the
meeting adjourned.

"THE KIN D.THAT CURES.” '
Took Mr Wallace’s Rock.
Some time since William E. Dann
purchased a. building lot at Roton
Point, adjoining one owned by A. W.
Wallace, of ' Bridgeport. On the lat-
ter lot was an immense rock, and close
by was a tree that sheltered the rock.
This fact made the lot of special value
in the eyes of the owner. A few days
ago Mr. Dann gave the contract out
for the building of a new house on his
lot, and gave himself no further
thought about the matter. He now
wishes that he had paid more attention
as to what was being done on the prom-
ises. It seems that the contractor let
out the building of the foundation for
the house to some Italian stone masons.
They not knowing as to the ownership
of the lot adjoining and having no eye
for ”the natural beauty of the rock,
utilized a greater portion of it for the
foundation of Mr. Dunn’s house. Now
wants to know why it was done. Mr.
Dean is very much chagrmed over t

France Wants aFronch Primate in Africa,
But Will Not Support Him.
ROME, March 16.——Serious friction is
threatened between the Vatican and
France in regard to the appointment of a
Primate in Africa to succeed the late
Cardinal Lavigerie. The Pope demands
that France shall provide the Primate
with a fix‘éd allowanCe for his mainten-
ance, and to this the French Government
objects. '
The Pope therefore holds that if the
Primate is to look to the Church for sup.
port, the Church should not submit to
dictation or interference as to the. ap-
pointment, and the Pope has intimated
that he may nominate an- Italian for the
place. 1
In such an event a serious conflict will.
surelyresult, as France would decidedly
object to having an Italian Primate over
Catholics, the large majority of whom are,
either French or the su bjects of France. .,
