THE FAVORITE HOME PAPER.
'_-Innsieilamin:a11 minis: Neutral m imm- .
The Gazette has the largest cir-
culation of any paper in Norwalk.
and furnishes the lowest advertising
rates. ,
The Ohio Republican idea.
The Ohio Republicans will meet at
Columbus next week for the purpose of
nominating a State ticket and adopt-
ing a platform.‘ The first part of the
work will be of the most formal nature,
as it has already been practically decid-
ed that Gov. McKinley and the other
State officers whose terms are about to
expire shall be renominated. There-
fore the chief interest will attach to
the platform to be promulgated. As a
rule, says the Washington Post, plat-
forms don’t mean much after elections,
but they. do serve to,show the trend of
the politician’s mind when he is forced to
make a plea for the support Of the
voters. - _
With Gov. McKinley as their nomi;
nee it would be illogical for the Ohio
Republicans to attempt to make a 'de-
parture from the tariff policy of the ’
Fifty-first Congress and the Harrison
administration. The Republicans of
other States may accept some of the
suggestions volunteered at Louisville
and in the future their planks on the
tarifi‘ question may be more conserva-
tive, but with McKinley leading the
fight in Ohio the platform must neces-
sarily call for. high protection and the
issue will overshadow all other discus-
sions of the campaign. Therefore it is
safe to assume that the Ohio Repub—
licans will do something “reaffirming”
when they assemble in convention next
week. .
The campaign will be watched with
considerable interest, as there have
been conflicting opinions as to just
what Ohio’s performance on the 8th of
last November meant. On the one
hand it is contended that a lack of in-
terest in‘the campaign resulted in a
light vote and that a light vote in_Ohio
always means Republican losses. The
Democrats, however, declare that the
State of Ohio is about to turn its back
on the high tari-fi' policy, and that, al-
though the voters of both parties re-
mained away from the polls in large
numbers, those who voted gave practi-
cal evidence of the revolution alleged
to be in progress. In Ohio this year
there will be an open battle between
the [tariff extremes, and for this reason.
the result will be awaited with much
interest.

. A'Commendable Work.
Saturday afternoon,attention was at-
tracted to about 150 neatly appareled
children as they marched through Wall
street, accompanied by several ladies.
It was learned that they were members
of the Industrial school, of which Miss
Fannie Leonard is at the head. The
children were from all denominations
of the churches in town. They are
taught to sew, and do other things that
will prove of value to them in later
years. One little girl proudly showed a
GAZETTE reporter a specimen of her.
- work with the remark, “Aint that nice;
, the Alms House.
4
and I didn’t know how to sew a stitch
before I went to this school. Today
is the last day until next fall. Only
look at this lovely geranium ;we all
got one. I’m awful sorry we’re going
to stop; I guess it’s on account of hot
weather; I don’t care if it is going to
be hot. Ican help mamma lots with
her sewing now.” Just then a bevy of \
other little girls with a live geranium
in their hands came up, and the little
girl said, “I’m going now; good-bye,”
and the party went on their way with
faces wreathed in smiles of happiness.
Surely the ladies.who have conducted
this splendid work are deserving of all
praise. The final meeting for the sea-
son'was held at the St. Paul’s parish
rooms on Wall street. ' '

Threatened With a Horsewhipping.
It was only last Sunday morning that two
well-known young ladies were seen on the re-
tired street leading from West avenue to Pine
Island cemeteri. The two were mounted to-
gether on one orse and they wore dressing
gowns and slippers instead of the_convention-
a1 riding habit. Further than this, and more
horrible. to relate, the animalwas not bur-
dened With a. saddle. andthe two young ladies
were astride the horse just’for all the world
like a man, but they did not_ seem to enjoy it
asmuch as the spectators did. Such innova-
tions ma do in South Norwalk, but are not
likely to ecomepopular elsewhere in society.
The above appeared in the Hour of
Saturday. This morning two young
ladies who thought they were the part-
ies referred to were out riding on West
avenue _in regulation costume. They
met William Maples whom they be-
lieved to be the author of the item.

and threatened to give him'a horse-

Peculiar Accident.
A peculiar and whatmight have been
a serious accident occurred on the tracks
of the Consolidated road near the Lock
factory, Saturday night. About nine
o’clock as the West bound freight was
on its way. to New York, and when
nearly opposlte the Lock factory, the
rear trucks jumped from under a flat
_car and bounded across the easttracks,
badly spreading the latter. The front
wheels of the flat car remained on the
tracks while the. rear part of the car
was held in position by the coupling.
The accident was quickly discovered
and the train stopped, but not before
the flat car had gone about a- hundred
feet beyond where the trucks jumped
Out. Strange to say all the freight cars
remained on the track and beyond the
trucks Which Jumped from under the
flat car and spread. and blocked the
east tracks, everything was all right,
All the east bound trains were block-
aded until 12 o’clock that night, when
the trucks were removed and the rails
straightened. Had one of the ' fast
Boston expresstrainsbeen pasing the
freight at the time, as they often 'do at
this point, a terrible accident would
no doubt have occurred as the trucks
of the flat car were thrown directly
' ‘
in the insane pavillion of the Butler
Accidents on the Consolidated.
Saturday was a day of accidents and
late trains on the Consolidated road.
Nearly every train was late during the
day, and three accidents were- reported.
, The train from the east due at South
Norwalk at 1:11 p. in. was over an hour
late, caused by an accident at South.-
port; the train' due at 6:20 p. m. did
not arrive until 7:10 on account of a
brokenleceentric rod at Bridgeport,
and at 9 o’clock the truck of a flat ear
jumped the track near the lock shop.
and travel was delayed. for nearly three
hours. ~

an Italian, was killed, and Michael
Dodd, a driver, was terribly injured at

Over a. Mile a Minute.
Engine_No.-240, one of the big loco-

which is running‘regularly on the road,
is creating 8. ~ sensation. During the
last few days the engine has been mak.
mg surprising time and the engineers
who have compared both locomotives
say that she is as fast if not faster than
No. 999, the record breaker on the New
York Central road. They claim, too,
that N o. 240 can maintain her speed for
a much longer distance than N o. 999
and with a heavier train. The engine
has been making round trips between
New Haven and New York and only
Saturday ran twenty miles over this
road with a train of nine cars, heavily
loaded, in less than twenty minutes.
The engine is still new and itis claimed
that when her bearings are worn a lit-
tle and she gets in thorough order she
can easily beat this time.
Of a Serious Nature.
_Miss Hannah Reed who fell down a
flight of stairs with a pail of boiling
water at her home in West N orwalk, is
more seriously scalded than was at the
time thought for. It seems that Miss
Reed was alone in the house at the time
of the accident. The steps on which she
fell led to the cellar. After the fall Miss
Reed as she lay comparatively helpless
on the cellar bottom scraped up with her
hands some dirt and placed it on the
burnstorelieve the pain. Later she with
great pain managed to get up the stairs
and to her rooms where she used cooling
lotions on the scalds which were con-
fined to her lower limbs,all the time suf-
fering the most excruciating pain. Af-
ter a while other members of the fam-
ily came in and a physician was sum-
-moned, as published in Saturday’s GA-
ZETTE. .
Miss Reed is about seventy years of
age, not in the best of health. and now
lies in a very critical condition as the
result of the accident.

‘ Charity Sunday.
Yesterday was what is known as
Charity Sunday at St. Mary’s church.
Rev. Father Slocum gave a report of
what had been done for the sake of
charity during the past month, and
cited several cases that had come un-
der his observation. Every application
for help made to him receives his per-
sonal investigation. He said that in
many instances he found the appli- .
cants worthy of the'help asked for, but
that in other cases he found them far
from being worthy. As an illustration
he said that a widower with five chil-
dren had applied to him for aid. 0n
investigation of the case he found that
the man wasearmng from» $15 to 825
he learned was being spent in two sa_-
loons, one of which places was not 11-
censed to sell. He consequently re-
fused the aid asked for.
He then scored the saloon-keepers
that would take the earnings of a man
when he was intoxicated or when they
knew that his family were wantin for
the necessaries of life. He warns the
saloon-keepers that unless ,some- of
them changed their manner of doing
business he would use severe measures _'

POUR VICTIMS IN PHILADELPHIA
One of Them, a Youthful Inmate of the
’ State Penitentiary, Placed His Head
Beneath a Loaded COal Cart—Sensa-
tional Suicides in Chicago.
PHILADELPHIA, June 5. —Four suicides
and one unsuccessful attempt at suicide
Were reported to the coroner yesterday.
One of the former, that of Adam Comfort,
was of the sensational order. Comfort,
who was an inmate of the state peniten-
tiary, was only 18 years old. He came
from Myersville, Snyder county, Pa, and
was serving a three years’ sentence for at-
tempt to kill. He deliberately laid his
head on the ground in front of a loaded
coal cart which was passin through the
prison yard, and the whee passing over
his neck fractured the vertebrae. He lived
a only few hours. John McQuaid, aged
52, who came here from San Francisco in
December last, blew his brains out at the
home of his sister yesterday. He had been
breeding over the death of his wife and
the disappearance of a. son. In the dead
man’s trunk was found $5,000 in cash.
Jane Mooney, aged 34, ended her life with
adose of laudanum. Cause, rum and pov-
erty. William T. Kingsley, aged 35years, of
the corporation which controls the Conti-
nental hotel, shot and killed himself Sat—
urday afternoon on the farm near Darby
which his father made famous among hor-
ticulturists. He had everything in life to
live for, and his self destruction will prob«
ably remain an unexplained mystery. John
O’Connor, a. farmer, aged 52, who came
here from Overbrook, Pa, was found 1y-
ing covered with blood in the street. He
had cut his throat because he had been
unjustly accused of stealing. His chances
of recovery are fair. During the past week
there have been ten deaths from suicide in
this city. The body of an unknown man
who is supposed to have committed sui-
cide was fished out of the Delaware river
yesterday afternoon.

spondency and Bright’s disease of the kid-
neys, of which lie was a. sufierer, are sup-
posed to have been the cause of the suicide.
While in the hotel barber shop the barber
told him of the suicide of Thomas G. Mc-
Laar, 'who had ended his life so tragically
in the morning at the same hotel. “Well,
do your job in good shape,” he said, “for
if I should die suddenly I would at least
want to look presentable.”

charge May 22, and was given a hear-
ing before Coroner Mix, who discharged
him on the ground of insufficient evi-
dence. ' New evidence has now been
placed in- the hands of the prosecuting
attorney. Berkman broke down and
cried when questioned about the case-
Sunday. Excitement and indignation
over the affair runs-high and an extra
guard has been placed on the jail, where
threats of lynching him. he names
of his two countrymen who have in-
formed against him are not made pub-
lic, as they fear the vengence of Berk-
man’s friends. One of these witnesses
says that he has been threatened with
murder for swearing against Berkman.

Mlstook Him For a Tree.
As Herman Smith,
on his way to South N orwalk, at an
early hour Sunday morning, ‘to take a
train— for Bridgeport, he saw a red
squirrel quietly enfiying its breakfast
on a rock near the atthews place. He
picked up a stone with the intent of
hurling it at the squirrel and crept
carefully up to get a closer range. The
squirrel did not notice the approach of
his would-be slayer until he was direct-
ly over him, and then apparently mis-
taking him for a tree, ran up his legs
and towards his month. On the squir-
rel s attempting to run into his mouth
Smith grabbed him b the throat and
held him fast, He t en wrapped the
animal up in his handkerchief and pro-
ceeded on his way to Bridgeport and to
the home of his best girl. He then un-
loosed the handkerchief, whereupon
the squirrel made its shape and had
sweet revenge by overturning two
lamps and considerable bric-a-brac.
after which he was again captured and
locked up in a cigar box.
Henry had considerable trouble in
quieting his best girl who was not a lit-
tle frightened at the antics of the
squirre , and came mighty near losing
his chances of becoming a member of
the family. But he has promised to
make good all damages done,'and all
