The Gazette has the largest cir— culation 'of any paper in Norwalk. and furnishes the lowest advertising rates. ' A Mistaken individual. The member of a legislative body who seeks to perpetuate his term of of- ficial life by building up a reputation for economy is a dangerous quantity, » not only to his constituents, but to the country at large. To begin with, the legislator who assumes this ‘role can have no confidence in the intelligence or integrity of his colleagues, and must logically regard them as a set of banded men together to rob the Government and waste its money. Having convinced himself on this particular point, the pro- fessional economist at once proceeds to take charge of the affairs of the legisla- tive body to which he happens to be at- tached, and those of his colleagues who don’t agree with him are charged with being false to their official oaths. It is unfortunate, but true, that every legislative body that exists has sufiered from the operations of the professional economist. _ He is a standing candidate for a prominent position on the com- mittees having in charge the appropria- tions, and generally manages to bring such pressure to bear upon the appoint- ing pOWer as to compass the fulfilment of his desire. Once on, the committee he takes charge,-,and those who make so bold as to venture to oppose his plans are branded as enemies of the Govern- ment, and it is too frequently the case that the partisan press misleads the public on this point, and thus helps to build up and perpetuate the humbug who makes a specialty of economy. The professional economist never al- lows his thoughts to stray beyond the borders Of his Congressional or assem- bly district. He utterly neglects to recognize the growth and requirements of the state or country. His sole ob- ject is to build up areputation that will enable him to impose upon his constitu- ents. In the past this mode of states- manship has been too successfully prac- iced. In other affairs the American people are too sensible and too practi- cal to be thoroughly deceived. It is not too much to hope that very soon in the uture the voters will fathom the thin disguise of the demagogic professional economist. He is not wanted in On egislative bodies. ' + The First Dispatch. The appalling disaster at Ford’s thea- tre last Friday recalls the interesting fact that the editor of the GAZETTE sent the first and only telegraphic dis! tpatch out of the city on that fateful night that Wilkes Booth assassinated President Lincoln. He was enabled to do this by the prompt thought and action of a brother of Rev. Mr. D’Os- sey, who at that time was the local M. E. minister at Silver Mine. ' Young D’Ossey was present at Ford’s theatre on that dire Good Friday night of 1865, and sitting diagonally opposite Mr. Lincoln, was looking at his box, and saw Booth creep up behind the Presi— dent and fire his revolver close behind his ear, and then leap to the stage below, shouting “sic camper tyrannis ” in most dramatic tones, as he fled, to the rear of the flies to mount his horse, awaiting him in the alley. whole audience was paralyzed by the assassin’s murderous work, D’Ossey, without a moment’s delay, ran around ' to the 14th Street office of the New York Tribune and gave the facts. A private dispatch was at once hurried off to the night editor of the Tribune in New York. This was about 10 o’clock, and it was the first and only message an- nouncing the tragic crime that got over the telegraph lines until after midnight of the following morning, as at “ton-ten ” every wire out of Wash- ington was cut, and no telegraphic communication could be had with the outside world for several hours. The incident of all the wires being cut in every direction at precisely ten min- utes past ten olclock that night was freely commented upon as showing the wide and perfect organization of the conspirators. . The feeling soon became general that the theatre should become the property of the Government, and be razed to the ground. Through the exertions of Secretary Stanton, it was purchased for $100,000, a price at that time considered twice its real value, but the structure was finally converted into a receptacle ' for pension clerks. but it has always been deemed unfitting and unsafe, and its terrible and fatal collapse last week gives~ every Washingtonian the eager chance to exclaim, “Well, did’nt I al- ways tell'you So ?” While the ‘ “Equal and Exact Justice to all ' Men of Whatever state or Persuasion, Religious or P0liticul.”——Jefi“grson I _ Norwalk, Chum, Wédnesday Evening, June .14, "1893. .

Go- van of Hartford stepped out the second- .story window of her grocery store on the corner of Sheldon. and South Pros- pects streets and received injuries from which she died a year later. Mrs.Govan was a woman of some property and owned a grocery busmess, amounting to about $9,000. Mr. Govan continued the business for about a year and then he died. The couple left one son, 14 years old, and it was supposed that of Mrs. Govan leaving no will. When the estate came to be probated,however, an unexpected claim was put in on behalf of a daughter by a former husband, the existence of whom was unknown before. It now appears that. Mrs. Govan had been married before in England when she was only 15 years old, to a man named William Halnorth, although her second husband.Mr. Govan,never knew of this early episode. The question is, being an alien, inherit a share of her mother’s estate ? Her attorney believes that under the Con ecticut statute's she can get one half of ecstate.

Only the lower branch of the Gener- al Assemblyheld a session Tuesday, on invitation of Senator lner as the guests of the P0pham club. There was favorably reported a bill creating .county health oificers, one for each county in the state. They are to be ap- pointed by the Governor on the recom- mendation of the state Health board. The county health officer is empow- ered to appoint deputies for each town not having a city or borough form of government. For ‘each day’s actual service the county officer is to receive $10 and the deputies $3. The act took the usual course, being tabled for calen- dar and printing. Its immediate in- spiration is said to be the fear of an in- vasion of cholera this summer. A bill incorporating the New Haven Street Railway company was passed. This corporation absorbs most of the old lines. There were also passed acts incorporating the Milford Land and Cottage company and the J ewett City and Western Steam Railroad company. Elliot B. Summer was appomted judge and Andrew J. Boyden clerk of the Willimantic City court. Favorable action was taken on the bill establish- ing the fire limits of Westport. The most important bill acted upon was the authorizing cities and mun- icipalities to establish plants for the manufacture of gas or electricity. It went through without rather to the surprise of a number of the members. If it becomes a law it will enable cities to erect works for supplying illumination to their _res1- dents in competition with the private corporations now controlling the busi- ness. That the corporations should not have fought the measure or that it should not have provoked the same de- gree of controversy as would _ have most likely confronted a proposition to place water works and street railway lines under municipal control is re- garded as singular. The health oificers provided for in the bill favorably reported are to have the power of the grand jurors in prosecuting cases. .0. . School Meeting. The annual meeting of the Over River School district will take place to- morrow night.

NEW YORK, June 14,—Defalcations ag- gregating $70,800 havebccn discovered in the Irving Savings institution, 96 Warren street, New York. The shortage was dis- covered by the state bank examiners, who are still at work on the books, and will not complete their work of scrutinizing the bank’s accounts for some time. The officers implicated by the statement of the examiner are Clarence D. Heston, of Brooklyn, who was president of the iii- stitution and had oval-drawn his account to the extent of $27,100; Secretary \Villiam H. Buxton, of this city, and Paying Teller D. D. Tompkins. After the defalcations were discovered the resignations of the officers named were received and accepted and the state bank superintendent, Charles M. Preston, reported the facts in the case to the district attorney. Messrs. Stern and Russmore, counsel for the Irving Savings institution, last night gave out a statement in which they say that $25,000 of overdrafts made by W'. H. Buxton were made good by him by the payment of that much cash, and he also gave first class security for the paymentof any further sum which might at any time be found to be due by him to the institu- tion. About $1,200 was paid over to the institution by Clarence D. Heston. “Under the circumstances there will be no loss of money whatever to the institu- tion. Even if it had made a loss of $45,000 (being about the balance of the deficiency) it could not in any wise effect the institu- tion or its depositors, as the bank has now a clean surplus of $675,000.” Lawyer Stern said he could place his hands on the err-president, secretary and paying teller whenever required to do so, but that the case is one for the district at- torney to act upon. Tompkins is 60 years of age and had been with the bank more than twenty years. Mr.’Heaton and Mr. Buxton had each been connected with the bank for about thirty years. Superintendent Pres- ton says that the defaications had been going on for ten years. Tompkins said that he had used the money he abstracted for living expenses. and Heaton said that he had lost 815,000 by going on the bond of Lawyer Cohen, who was associated with the Cassie Brooks case. ‘ Riotous Bohemian Strikers. VIENNA, June 14.—-More than 8,000 coal and iron miners have now quit work near Kladno, Boh'émia. The police and two companies of military were called out to prevent the strikers from rioting through the town. The men refused to disperse and the police attacked them with sabres drawn. Thirty or forty rioters were cut, some so severely that they had to be car- ried from the spot by their fellow working- men. After throwing a. few stones at the police the strikers withdrew. Several po- licemen were injured in the encounter. Convict Elliott Blinded. COLUMBUS, June 14.—W. W. Varney, :3. Cincinnati thief, confined in the peniten- tiary, threw a quantity of vitriol in W. J.

WASHINGTON, J une 14.——-A representative , of the United Press, in conversation with Secretary Carlisle, suggested to him that there was a lack ,of precise information tOuohing the amount of silver coined up to the present time, and also as to the man- ner in which the present operation of the treasury under the so called Sherman act results in the payment of gold in the pur- chase of silver bullion. In reply to these suggestions Secretary Carlisle said: “The act of July 14, 1890, required the secretary of the treasury to purchase 4,500,000 fine ounces of silver bullion each month, and it provided that he should continue the coinage of silver dollars at . the rate of $2,000,000 per month until the lat day ofJuiy, 1891, and under this act , there have been coined $29,408,461, which makes the total coinage of silver dollars under all acts since 1878 $419,294,885, or more than fifty times as much as was coined during a previous period of eighty- one years. - “In addition to lthe silver bullion pur- ' chased by the government since 1878 and coined as above stated, the secretary of the treasury has purchased under the act of July 14, 1890, and now holds in the vaults of the treasury, uncoined, 124,292,582 fine ounces of silver bullion, which cost the people of the 'United States $114,299,920, and is worth-today, at the market price of silver, $103,411,386. “How'long the government shall thus be compelled to purchase silver bullion, and increase the public debt by issuing coin obligations in payment for it, is a question which congress alone can answer. It is evident that if this policy is continued, and the secretary of the treasury shall be compelled to issue bonds or otherwise in- crease the interest bearing public debt, it will bedone’for the purpose of procuring gold with which to pay for silver bullion , purchased .under the act referred to.” CAPTURED_B_\_( iNDIANS. . Government Troops Sent to Prevent an Uprising of the Chippewas. ST. PAUL, June 14,—A special train over the Northern Pacific railroad left last evening with Company D, Third infantry. United States regulars, and will hasten with all possible speed to Brainered, Mimi. , where the troops will debark and march until this evening, when it is expected they will arrive at Leech Lake reservation where trouble of such serious nature ex- ists that soldiers are needed. Dispatches from that region are very meagre, but very urgent, the last of them reading: “Dr. Walker is a prisoner at Leech Lake and must have aid at once. Send officers and troops at once.” Information received from Park Rapids, Grand Rapids and Deep River,points along the edge of the Leech Lake reservation. is all of the same general purport,but meagre as to details. Dr. James H. Walker, the resident physician at Leech Lake, and a. companion went out hunting on Monday morning, and the former by accident, in shooting at a fawn, shot and so seriously died in a few hours. _ 9 This so angered the Indians on the re— serve, a. little over 400 in number, that they gave the hunters chase and captured Dr. Walker. They hurried him into the woods, several miles away, and What has been_ done with him can only'be conjectured. The general belief is that he has been 'scalpe‘d and cut to pieces by the Chippe~ was, who are veryugly when drinking. There is fear also that settlers along the reserve will suffer, as the Chippewas have three times in the last half dozen years driven off the whites. There is still hope, however, that the Indians are holding Dr. Walker in the hope of securing abribe from the government. , " ‘ . The British Yachtsuln Collision.
