The Gazette’h‘as the largest cir- culation of any paper in Norwalk, and furnishes the lowest advertisinz rates? More Record Breaking. Right upon the heels of the perform- ance of locomotive 999 of the New York Central road comes the announcement that the new Cunarder, the , Campania, has broken the record for time, on the Atlantic eastern voyage. The ,Cam- pania sailed from New York harbor on May 6th and arrived off Queenstown Friday morning May 12th at half past 9 o’clock, making the run in, five days seventeen hours and forty-two minutes. The Campania is ah elegant vessel, and her builders spared .no expense to produce speed and comfort. The ad- vent of the Campania is but the signal for the opposition lines to excel, if such a thing is possible, and there is not the least reason to doubt that it is. This means that there is to be some remark- able progress and development in steamship building, and in this work American skill and ingenuity will not be in the rear. . The Campania is the largest ocean- liner afloat,her length being 620 feet. This was but her second trip across the ocean, and it is expected that as soon as her machinery is working more smoothly she will make a record that none ofthe other vessels will be able to touch. The American line'has lost the pennant to the Cunarder, but it can well afi'ord to yield the laurels to such a splendid vessel. However, later on the American line may be able to own a vessel that can easily run away from the Britisher’s pride. At least it is to be hoped so. Howling all Along the Line. All the superior newspapers, together with their superior editors and corres- pondents;- all the reformers, the doc- tri'naires, the high priests of the true, the beautiful, and the good ; all the meddlers, the busybodie's, the critics. the apostles of the transcendental pro- paganda-all Mugwumpdom, in fact—- has been lashed into ladylike excite- ment by the removal of Mr. Sturtevant, . the chief of the stationery division of the Treasury Department. No more time for complainings about the tariff or the silver question, no more leisure for sneers at national feeling and Ameri- can patriotism. A fixture of twenty- five or thirty years’ standing has been displaced, and the whole fabric of the official-aristocracy topples to its fall, says the Washington Post. Mr. Roosevelt is reported as saying that he will take no part in the cackle, which is well enough, seeing that Chief Sturtevant is not‘in the civil service, and, therefore, not protected by the law. But Mr. Carl Schurz, the man of many parties ; Mr. Godkin, the British patriot who doesn’t live at home ; Mr. Richard Watson Gilder, the minstrel of the tuneless harp, and the whole nonde- script army of irrecOncilables have pooled their lamentations in the gen- eral howl. We have yet to find a Mug- wump person or newspaper that stops to consider whether Mr. Carlisle may not have some sufficient reason for his act. His long public service, his high . and honorable record, his acknowledg- ' ed attainments in statesmanship and finance, his stainless personal'character, —-none of these things weighs a feather in the scale. The Mugwump sanctuary has been invaded. I A man who has held ofiice through a generation and never. voted once, has been lifted out of his ' comfortable berth, and the solemn equation of the barnacle is rudely dis- located. Mr. Carlisle, we are glad to 'see, sur- vives the noise. Perhaps he comforts himself with the hope that the silent majority applauds him, and certainly he must feel that, as the one most deep. ly interested in the success and reputa- tion of his administration, he has a right to order its details-and circum_ stances. He gives no explanations to infuriated Mugwumps. He is .not re- quired to give any. He is, adjusting the situation to suit himself, and very probably does not despair of finding amidst the Democratic millions at least. one man who can look after the pens, ink and paper of the department as satisfactorily as Mr. Sturtevant did. *He is a wise and sensible man, is Mr. : Secretary Carlisle. He is a statesman, a patriot, and a philosopher. ' And sen- . sible men of all parties will give him their sympathy and confidence. . ~———<-.v E.— , Major A. R.

Sunday marked the tenth anniver- sary ofBev. W. J. Slocum’s pastorate of St. Mary’s church, and in the morn- ing he gave a review of 'the work done by the church during that period, and his remarks were attentively listened to by an unusually large congregation. At the commencement of his remarks the reverend gentlemen said that his object in making the ._review was not for the purpose 3! glorifying himself, but simply to show to the Catholics of Norwalk what great things they had accomplished within the past ten years. During that time, he said there had been raised over $147,000 ; that among the many improvements made was the purchase of the building and lot east of the church, the purchase of additional ground for the cemetery, and that the cemetery was at present one of the best kept cemeteries in the state; many im- provements had been made in and around all of the church preperty; in- cluding the improved heating of the church, convent school nd rectory ; a new. church organ, the nishing of the steeple and the placing therein of a bell and clock, three new marble altars, the frescoing of the church, etc. The church being entirely free of debt was consecrated December 11th. 1 During the past ten years there had been 900 deaths, and 350 marriages. He said that he had met with the hearty co-operation of the society in his work to further the interests of the» church. . ‘ ‘ He scored the liquor dealers and said that a majority of those engaged in the same were unfitted for the business, and hoped that the faithful would enter their protest against such traffic. He could not understand why so many young men jumped into the business ; did not know whether it was because they were too lazy to work or afraid to steal; thought they would stand a bet- ter chance to save their souls in jail than in a saloon. ‘ - The Catholics have reason to feel proud of what they have done, and much of the work accomplishedg'is due to the untiring zeal and energy of the pastor of the church, Rev. Father Slo- cum. The review was replete with facts, advice and a conscientious show- ing of his interest in the welfare of the church and society. _ * . The Horse Thief. Chief Vollmer of South Norwalk, re- turned Saturday evening from Newark, N. J .,. having under arrest “Robert Rockwell, wanted for stealing a horse from Ralph Kellogg, on the night of May 2d. Rockwell was placed in one of the cells at the South Norwalk station- house until this morning when he was brought before Justice Austin. He plead guilty and was placed under $2, 000 bonds for trial before the Super- ior Court. Failing to secure bonds the prisoner was taken to the Bridgeport jail by Chief Dann.

A tramp was on the. street' Saturday afternoon with a severe contusion on his face. His tale of woe was to the ef- fect that while he was asleep, at the tramp headquarters another man came ' in and dealt him a blow on the face. Tramp No.2 who was then looked up claimed that tramp No. 1 had stolen a valuable spring overcoat from him, and the blow was the only way he had of avenging the deed. . Tramp No.1 wanted to swear out a warrant against tramp N0. 2. We do not learn that he suc- ceeded in having the want gratified. Suspended by‘Warden Haven. General Haven, acting warden at the state. prison, has suspended Mrs, Hall the prison matron, and installed Miss Florence Deming of Wethersfield in her place. He also suspended Hallman Hathaway. General Haven is reticent as to the causes for this action, but it is understood that Mrs. Hall has been talking too freely. about prison matters, and Hathaway was accused by a pris- oner who testified recently in the in- quiry, of having advised him to testify against Warden Chamberlain and De- puty Warden Baisden. ' 0 Two Checks Received. A check from Bishop Pctter was re- ceived in” Lewisboro on Saturday, and later one from Hon. John Jay, which by. a handsome amount, over-cancels the many hundred dollars personal note obligation which, since 187.1, has rested against that parish. The joyful an- nouncement of their Bishop’s liberality was made. to the people Sunday, and measures looking to the renovation of their chapel will at once be inaugurated. It is proposed, as soon as the Ridgefield season opens, to holdasummer bazaar, towards which Mr. Selleck,‘ is already in possession .of valuable contributions. A Consul—General‘ship. The President on Saturday appointed Frederick C. Penfield of Connecticut, to be agent and consul-general of the United States- at Cairo. Mr. Penfield was formerly city editor of the Hartford Courant and went to London as vice connsul—general when ex-Governor consul-general there. He negotiated the big Gatling gun sale and resigned his government position, having 'be- come much interested and very suc- cessful in commercial ventures. At present his home is in New York city. He is a deservedly popular young man. Song Recital. Mr. Frank H. Tubbs, Musical Direc- tor of the N. Y. Vocal .Institute, pro- poses giving a Song Recital in Norwalk at an early date.

About one month ago Dunwell was crossing the bridge at Naugatuck Junction when an express approached. He was getting down between the ties when the train struck him and his head was torn off. He belonged in Brooklyn. USE DANA’S SARSAPARILLA,IT’S "THE KIND THAT CURES”. O . incendiary Fires. , Fire Sunday morning at Bridgeport damaged the New Barnum Staples building to the extent of $1,000. The fire started in a Turkish bath cellar, and worked its way into Staples’ bank- ing house above, where it was con- trolled. One hour later W. H.

As the result of a practical joke Mary Lynch lies at her home in Bridgeport in a very serious condition of mind. The first part of last week she was em- ployed in the cartridge shop. Work- ing in zthe shot-shell department With her was Etta Jamison, a girl of about Mary’s own age. Etta procured a pa- per snake to which she tied a string and wriggled it until she attracted her young companion’s attention. Mary was horribly frightened and being a girl of hysterical temperament was so upset that she' has since suffered severe mental distress. ,—————<+ lnhuman Treatment. A press dispatch dated at South Nor- walk says : State Humane Agent Thrall’s atten- tion has been directed to the condition of a cargo of cows which arrived at South N orwalk from Canada Saturday. They were brought here by Asa Foote, a Norwalk farmer and cattle dealer, who packed them all, forty-two in number, into one box car, and, so far as can be learned, gave them noth- ing to eat or drink, although they had been several days en route. . At least a dozen were d ing under the feet of the others, unab e to stand, and two were dead and several were bleeding from many wounds caused by being trodden upon. When released the cows ate and drank ravenously. Less than half the cattle can live. All have been quarantined for fear they may spread contagious disease.

A number of prominent citizens in Danbury and vicinity who are wealthy and have, always been ready to increase their. wealth by investments are mourn- ing the loss of about $40,000 which has been sunk in a Utah silver mine an which they have just learned is about as valuable as any sand hill-within sight of Danbury. The company which has been working the “ mine ” was started by New. York capitalists who'interested investors. Th New Yorkers invited in- tending stock olders to go to Utah and visit the mine and accordingly Judge Hough, Samuel C. Holley and one or and inspected it.

Rev: Father Treanor at one time lo- cated in N orwalk, at the 10:30 mass at the Sacred Heart church, Waterbury, Sunday preached a sermon which has created a sensation almost equal to that caused by the recent announce- ment that female teachers in the public schools of that city were addicted to drink. Father Treanor said that he in- tended to denounce the evil of child murder, of startlingly frequent occur- rence in that city. He said that abor- tions were often performed, in fact therewas a, place there where it was made a specialty and all that was ne- cessary to have it done was to have'suf- ficent money to meet the doctors de- mand. , . Father Treanor went on to say that it had come to his notice where numer- ous operations had been performed. He said it was a blot on the city that such an institution should be allowed to exist. _The authorities took no notice of at and It. did a flourishing business. He continued by criticising the press which published the man’s advertise- ment. He said that he had gone to them and_asked them to discontinue Elle advertisement, but got no satisfac- ion. - In conclusion the clergyman said that he proposed to organize a movement to run the abortionists out of town. He intimated that other clergyman would give him help and that as the first step had been taken, a disgrace to the city A prominent physician discussing the sermon said : ."I was called to at-' tend a young woman recently. She had had an abortion performed on her by the doctor Father Treanor refers to. She was in a dying condition and con- fessed that that man .had operated upon her. He was summoned, accused of the crime, confessed and begged. for mercy. The girl lived and he was spared prosecution.” The 15th of May.

The ,men killed were: ' _ Allen Cameron,son of Captain Cameron, . in charge; James Cooking, single, sup- porting widowed mother; Joseph Pope, leaves widow and one child; John Odgers, leaves widowand several children; John Hicks, aged 24; Andrew ' Edno, aged 40, married; Robert Wuopia, leaves widow and three children; Michael Leavitto, widower, James Trevni, leaves widow and and three children;. Con S. Sullivan,single, aged 40. . , The men were aboard a skip used in hoisting rock and when the load of human freight reached the surface the engineer did not stop in time, but went to the top of the derrick, when it broke and went back with a crash to the bottom of the shaft. There was no way of reaching the bottom nor getting the dead men out ex- cept by going through another shaft half amile away, so that it was nearly three hours before the true state of affairs could be ascertained, and it was nearly morning before the bodies were brought out. The wife of Pope was standing. in the shaft house with her husband’s dinn’er when the terrible accident occured. FIVE KILLED AT LEBANON. A Defective Locomotive Boiler Explodcs with Terrific Results.

The dead are: ‘Levi Yocum, engineer, married, body ' torn in two pieces, skull fractured, (lis- embowelled, chest crushed in; instantly ' killed. John Yocum, aged 14, nephew of Levi Yocum, edisembowelled, leg blown off, head badly crushed, tongue out off; in-‘ stantly killed.

Willie Louden, aged 13, lost. sight of both eyes, arm broken in four places, out about head, badly scalded; died in hospital. ’ The locomotive was st- uding absolutely still when the explosi occurred. The whole frame of the engine with the heavy boiler was carried across the commons, a‘ distance of 150 feet, plowing the ground in its‘vvay. Engineer Yocum was accom- panied by his little nephew, who frequently accompanied his uncle while going through this city for a ride in the cab of the engine. The tracks were bent and torn up and the engine literally blown to pieoes. .A watchman’s box was blown twenty feet ' out of place, two inch iron? rods twisted and broken like so many pieces of wire, and fragments of the-wreck strewn all , about. Many houses in the vicinity were badly damaged. , Some engineers are inclined to believe that the explosion was due to a defect in the material of the locomotive boiler. The company has ordered the other engines of this class to the shops in Reading for a thorough inspection. The engine is the most complete Wreck ever seen by railroad , men. This is the fourth engine ‘of this class that exploded. , . Bennett Still Controls.
