It is said to be an aSpiration of Fred- erick Douglass, whose eventful career furnishes one of the most striking chap- ters in the history of the country, and marks an era in the progress of human liberty, says the WashingtOn Post, to pass the remaining years of his life upon an estate of his own, in the country where seventy-six years ago he was born a slave. . To this end'we are told that he is now engaged in negotiations for the purchase of a fine property near East0n, Md., in the immediate vicinity of his birthplace. If this be true, the friends of Mr. Douglass will all be glad to learn that he has succeeded in so laudable a pur- pose. There is 'no man in the United States, be his color what it may, who by reason of the difficulties he has ex- erted, of the conquests he has wrought over public opinion, better deserves the serene retirement from life’s activ- ities which he now seeks. That he should desire to spend his old age amidst the scenes of his youth, where, as a boy on the plantation of Col. ' Lloyd, he learned the rudiments of that knowledge which in after years stood him in such masterful stead, and out of which was evolved a passionate and stiring eloquence that easily made him a leader in the cause of his race, is but natural and commendable. No one should say him nay to this ambi- tion. . There are no prejudices of race that do not yield recognition to the asser- tion of great moral and intellectual forces, such as Mr. Douglass undoubt- edly wielded, and of which he is clearly entitled to enjoy the fruits in his own dignified and quiet Way. Obituary. News was received here this morn— ing of the death in Lewisboro, New York, of Ebenezer W. Raymond, a man well known in town, he having for nearly forty years past driven a market wagon here from the place where he died. He was a man of high respectability and integrity. While a staunch church- man his fervor was of almost the exact type of that of his distinguished rela- tive Elder Raymond the noted Baptist preacher of former years. He was the senior warden of St. John’s church of Lewisboro. In all probability to his efforts the ancient parish Of St. John’s owes largely, under God, its existence to-day. The late Hon. John Lewis of Washington having given ten thousand dollars to the Lewisboro Schools, and some fifty acres of land to the parish, began the erection of a chapel and par- sonage upon which he intended to ex- pend about nine thousand dollars. He pushed the work along, paying for it as it progressed, and had laid out some three thousand dollars, when he sudden- ly died, in 1871, leaving no provision for _ the payment for the balance of the work which couldnot well at that stage of its advancement, be stopped. The heroic Ebenezer W. Raymond then stepped to the front, and having completed the original plans has for twenty years known what it means to struggle against parish debt. When Rev. Charles M. Selleck of Norwalk at Bishop Potter’s request, took up the Mission he found between two and three thousand dollars personal incum- bance hanging over the feeble flock. This has so far been reduced that at the close of yesterday afternoon’s sad ser- vice he was informed~ that probably forty-five dollars would discharge the obligation, so that possibly before the grand old senior officer and sturdy christian battler is laid on Wednesday to rest this liability may be wiped out. At nearly the same time of Mr. Ray- mond’s death a nephew of the deceased . died in the same house. His name was Darling, and he lived in North Wilton and was taken sick while paying his uncle a visit. ————-<-o— >—-———-~——-— PEARY’S NEXT TRIP. He Has Selected Four of the Comrade!

Ellen Returns. It will be remembered that some weeks since attorney Joseph A. Gray had one Ellen Galvin, a domestic in hisjemploy, arrested. Also, that sheresisted such arrest, and received an unusually severe sentenCe from the justice who tried the case. Ellen went to the Bridgeport jail, from which institution she was dis- charged on Saturday, before the full sentence had been filled. This morning she returned to Nor- walk, and consulting with attorney Walsh, presented a bill to Mr. Gray for the time she had done service as-a do- mestic in his family. This bill, we are told, Mr. Gray at first refused to recog- nize, but finally said that he would give it to her for charity sake, but failed to do so. As amatter of fact, the woman’s attorney refused to receive the same, as such. He confesses, however, that the money was not proffered, only the offer. Miss Galvin, being without any means of_a llvelihood, was placed in the hands of the Selectmen until such time as her employer shall conclude or be made to settle, when she proposes to leave town. The woman, it is stated, is not in her right mind, but there seems to be but little question as to t' e justness of her claim against her lat mployer. +>— USE DANA’S SARSAPARILLA,IT’S ' ”THE KIND THAT CURES”. +>_—-———— —Keeping pace with _the times, the Boston store,- Norwalk, is already alert and wide-awake to the increasmg de- .mand for your Easter dresses. We doubt very much if there’s any such stock of fine dress goods anywhere out- side of a few metropolitan stores, as the stock of new, spring dress goods displayedat this progressive store. We judge from the exclamations of V181- tors, merchants, traveling salesmen and others who go about. The assort- ment is, perhaps, as large as those of any half dozen other houses in this v1- cinity taken together, while there are many exclusive novelties not to be found elsewhere. The very essence of springtime seems to be embodied in the exquisite flOral designs and color- ings in their stock of new, wash dress goods, while the stock _of wraps, jack- ets and capes are beautiful beyond de- scription. No matter how slowly spring comes this way such garments as they show at such prices cannot fail to command a sale.

The traln is due in Bridgeport at 6.22 and arrived promptly on time. Yet at 6 o’clock the train was at Stamford, owmg to a delay in getting outxof New York. Practically two stops were made, the train slowing up to pass the South Norwalk depot, greatly reducing its speed to scoop up water near West- port. The distance between Bridge- port and Stamford is 23 miles and the run was made in 22 minutes, or an average of over a mile a minute for the whole distance. At times this speed was greatly increased to- make up for slowing up at South Norwalk. Created a Sensation. At the services of the Sacred Heart church, Waterbury, yesterday-'morn-‘ ing, Father Treanor, formerly of Nor~ walk, created a sensation 'by denoun- cing the custom of making Good Fri- day Fast-day. He said that the days Should be separate for the reason, that Fast-day was made a secular holiday. There was slight attendance upon church services and mung took no ac- count of the day as Goo Friday be- cause the celebration Of the other oc— casion overshadowed it. The clergyman said that theatres, amusements and sports of all kinds should not be tolerated on Good Fri- day because they turned the minds of the people from the trials of the-Christ. Instead of _ spending the day in wor- ship they went to where amusement to suit their tastes was to be found. Father Treanor said that a movement was already on foot to make the days separate and hinted that the matter would be brought to the attention of the present legislature- ' It was learned after the sermon that steps had already been taken to have some other day set apart for Fast-day than Good Friday. It is thought that religious words all .over the state will support the movement. The County’s Finances. County Auditors E. L. Wells and C. H. Getman have completed their labors at the County commissioners’ office and will report this week. They find the accounts in the most satisfactory shape, both as regards ,neatness and accuracy, which is complimentary to Mr. Walter C. Quintard, of South No r- walk, the County treasurer. . The county debt is yearly increasing. The auditors find that for the year end- ing June 30, 1891, it was 880,000, dur- ing the following- year it row to $95,- 054. 66. This increase resu ted from the lack of funds available to meet the reg- ular running expenses The expenses fer the year ending J one 30, 1892, were more than in any prev10us year, amount- ing to $92,925.43, while the amount availing to pay the same was only 1577,- 746.63. Of this sum $10,241.07 was a balance left over from 1891. In 1891 there was a balance of $33,884 from the preceding year. The orders drawn and not paid during the year ending J une 30, 1892 amounted to $15,654.66, but there have since been paid through the' receipt from the state .of $3,240.44 for the board of prisoners, that was due, and by the receipt of county taxes overdue as follows: Bridgeport, $14,928.95 ; Bethel,_$662.- 88; Huntington, $865.41; Monroe, $222.- 86.

At St. Mary’s, Grace and St. Paul’s churches the day was observed by special ser- vices aud the decorating of the church- es with palms. ' , Palm Sunday commemorates the pas- sage of Christ into Jerusalem at a time shortly preceding his crucifixion when the people strewed hls path With palms. This most beautiful incident in the life of the Savior was fully brought out in, all the churches by song and sermon and the great lessons to be drawn therefrom brought v1v1dly to mind. What the day was became apparent, long before the evening closed, to the most careless observer. Hundreds of persons upon the streets bore small branches of palms homeward on their way from church. Yearly in the Cath- Olic churches the palms that decorate the edifices are blessed by the priests and distributed at the close of the last service for the day to members of tho congregations, among Whom branches are in great request. Among the Episcopal churches the custom is not so genera . Palm Sun- day is the day of Joy thatleads to the darker events celebrated during the re- mainder of the week and finally to the brighter joyousness of the even com- memorated by the Easter festiVal.

Dr. Wyatt will find N orwalk a very interesting field for the exercise of those talents that have made him such a conspicuous figure in Winsted, as a moral renovator.

Most every fisherman has a theory to account for the failure of fish to bite. Occasionally some unusually sensible man will seriously explain his fisher- man’s luck by the theory that the fish weren’t hungry. And another of the disappointed will declare his solemn be- lief,that he fished in the wrong place. Something which seems adapted to the situation has appeared. It comes from Europe, and is the result of a great deal of experience and observation. This theory is that fishes bite most freely during the four orrfive days af- ter the moon’s first quarter, while from the third day after the first quarter to the second day before the new moon the sport is at its worst.

OPERA HOUSE. “Lost in London” which is billed for the Opera House on April 4th is a strong play. Every part is infused with a tenderness which appeals di- directly to the heart. The first scenes are those surrounding a quiet little home of a miner. He has for his sun- shine a bright and comforting young wife. Toiling through the day down in the blackened mines he returns at night to receive the caresses of them- tle woman whom he loves so dearly. A young and wealthy fellow from_the great city of London appears and_gives her a graphic and glowing description of the pleasures of citv life. He en- treats her to go with him. She hesi- tatcs, but finally is led away through her weakness. Each part is interpreted in an artis- tic manner. Newton Beers isa born actor and as Job Armroyd is exception- ally fine.

The play was not much unlike “Sol’s Gal” presentedby the George A. Hill company at the same theatre some weeks since.

HER BEST SPEED IS NOT KNOWN ‘ EVEN YET. . Ocean Greyhounds Cannot Compete With Her. PHILADELPHIA, March 27.—With the proud distinction of having broken the record of all preliminary trials, and the satisfaction of being the fastest armored vessel in the world, the cruiser New York returned to Cramps’ shipyard yesterday. Despite heavy rain squalls and a biting Wind from the southeast, fully five thou- sand patriotic Phlladelphians were pres- ent to wish the warship Godspeed when she backed out into the stream and start. ed on her trial trip. When the _ giant screws began to revolve, and the monster vessel was actually under way for' the first time, the spectators shouted them- selves hoarse. v The New York was headed up the stream, which at this point is only a trifle wider than the warship itself. strong ebb tide was running and the wind‘blowing half a gale. To turn her around in this narrow space two tugs had to be used. After passing Greenwich Point the new vessel’s screWs made 95 revolutions and the speed reached was 17.5 knots. There was scarcely any vibra- tion throughout the ship. At the end of an hour’s run the steward reported that the compartment in which his provisions were stored was ankle deep in water. An examination revealed the fact that the water had been forced in through the forward torpedo tube. Con- structor Nixon placed a watertight buck- ler over it and the leak ’gave no further trouble. The compartment was emptied by drilling a small hole through the steel deck. The New York anchored at night- fall about seven miles to the northward of the Delaware Breakwater. On Wednesday the cruiser got under way for the purpose of correcting her compasses and adjusting the compensa- ting magnets. This accomplished, the vessel returned to her anchorage to await good weather 1'. begin her trial. Before 6 o’clock Saturday morning she was under way, running for Five Fathom Lightship. The race was between this and the Northeast End Lightship, a dis- tance of 9.88 nautical miles, the depth of water being 12 fathoms. The following statement tells the story of the two trials: First Trial—Start, 8h. 20m. 155.; finish, 8h. 53m. 535.; difference 29m. 383.; speed, 20.08 nautical miles per hour. Return~same distance-Start, 9h.13m.7s.; I finish, 9h. 42m. 583.; difference, 29m. 515.; speed, 19.87 nautical miles. Average for the two trials, 19.95 miles; In the afternoon the cruiser was headed to the eastward in search of deeper water. In a run of four consecutive hours she maintained a speed of 20.38 knots per hour, reaching as high as 20.57 as the water deepened. With thyfie satisfactory results the New York anchored for the night and steamed up to the shipyard on Sunday morning. She will be ready for her ofl‘icial trip within three weeks. Capt. Bedford W. Sargent was in com- mand of the New York during her trial, assisted by Capt. George L. Chambers, an old Delaware river pilot, who has steered all of the Cramps’ new ships. There were 340 peeplo on board. The New York will be commanded by Capt. John W. Philip. Whitney Wants No Office.
