No Boarding Houses.
We are already informed of several
families that would beglad to come to
Norwalk to spend the summer, but
have been unable to find either hotel
or boarding - house, accommodations
here. This is one Of Norwalk’s greatest
summer needs. We have an unusually
attractive and healthy town, inviting
strangers to come, but no :suitable or
even reasonably comfortable boarding-
house quarters can be secured for the
season, and the few we have are more
than monopolized by the home de—
mands.
South Norwalk Water.
While the GAZETTE does not wish to
enter the pleasant contest now going
on between its contemporaries over the
condition of the South Norwalk water,
which every man, woman and child in
that city knows is unfit for use, and
smells worse than the West avenue pav-
ing scandal, vet we are constrained to
say that the GAZETTE has a letter from
one of the parties interviewed by the
Sentinel, in which said party complains
of the terrible stench of dead fish at
the reservoir. Why the author of the
GAZETTE’s letter should new state to a
Sentinel representative that there is 1.10
truth in the Hour’s statement we can-
not explain, unless it be that the letter
was written on the 8th of J une and the
Sentinel representative called on the
15th. "
Sunk Too Low.
A good deal of surprise is expressed
that in the effort to re-lay the cross-
walk at the junction of Cross street
with Belden avenue, and that crossing
Belden avenue in front Of Grace church,
should be put down several inches be-
low the grade Of the road-bed. Some
thought this public work had got into
the hands of the River and Harbor
committee of. Congress, and that a ship
canal was being constructed. But it
turns out to be another case of Pat’s
putting his saddle on the donkey hind-
side-before ——-he had’nt made up his
mind, he said, which way he was going
to ride. Those newly-cut channels or
canals, it is explained, will be all right
and conform to the proper elevation,
after the roadway along Belden avenue
is cut down to some newly contemplated
grade. It is to be feared that the Bor-
Ough engineer did not locate the
grades for there-laying of these much
used cross-walks.
$7,500 Appropriated for Sewers.

Fell Fifteen Feet.
Mrs. Johanna Callahan suffered a fall
Friday evening that it is feared will re-
sult fatally. Mrs. Callahan was on the
roof of a lean-to in the rear of the Old
Gibbs house, en Knight street, pulling
in a clothes-line attached to a tree,
when she lost her balance and fell to
the ground, a distance of about fifteen
feet._ Her moans attracted attention
and‘assistance was summoned and she
was carried into the house and ‘Dr.
Tracey summoned, who found that she
had sustained a broken wrist, a fracture
.to her collar-bone. and it is feared re-
ceived internal injuries. Mrs. Calla-
han is about 70 years of age and that
she escaped death is remarkable. In
her fall she struck and broke the limb.

Norwalk, Conn, Saturday Evening, J unc‘ 17,1893.
At Hartford.
The first veto from the Governor at
this session of the General Assembly
came to the House Friday. The sub-
ject of it was the bill relating to Troop
A, of Bridgeport, the incorporation of
which had been favorably acted upon
In giving reasons for his action the
Governor said the ratio of the present
militia force of Connecticut was lar er
to the population than that of any ot er
state of the Union, that there. existed
no present need for an increase. Should
any emergency arise calling for more
military force than is now available a
cavalry company such as propose
would probably be found of less value
than other forms of command and are
least‘likely to be called into service.
the expense of maintaining the state’s
present military force was heavy and
should not be added to except upon ur-
gent need. The veto was tabled in the
natural order of business without de-
bate. A member of the military com-
mittee said an attempt might be made
to pass the bill over the veto, but of the
success of such a movement he was
doubtful.
Another matter of interest in the
same line was the unfavorable report to
the Senate by the Military committee
of the bill making and application . to
defray the expense of the Hibernian
Rifles, A. O. H., attending the annual
encampment of the COnnecticut N ationa
a1 Guard at Niantic in August. In sub-
stance the commitee said they could not
become parties to favoring a precedent
looking to the diversron of money from
the state treasury to pay. for outside
military organizations taking part in a
meeting of troops in the service of the
state. Such a thing had never been
done and it was inadvisable to com-
mence now.
While their main argument was based
on the principal involved, they were in
accord with the governor in 'finding a
cause for objection to the bill’s adop-
tion on the score of expense.
The Senate adhered to its former
action respecting the bill making
County commissioners elective by the
people. As the House had a second
time insisted on , the present plan for
their appointment by county represen-
tatives, with the amendment providing
for minority representation, the pop-
ular election plan is thereby killed for
the present session.
As Senator Cleveland promised to do,
after securinithe tabling of the act in-
corporating t e Connecticut Land and
Improvement company of Bridgeport,
he called the measure up and said in-
vestigation had only confirmed him in
_ his...opini91_1.e.asnmmathmsnbiectionable .
features'it contained. Those named in
it as the incorporators are David, B.
Mansfield, Samuel A. Eddy, Samuel D.
Hines and Thomas A. Smith. The
prospectus, setting forth the designs of
the company, provides for its invest-
ment with extraordinary powers. It
may survey and purchase land for
colonization or other purpose in any
state or territory, construct and oper-
ate steam and other railways; also
, telegraph and cable lines, dams, reser-
voirs, refineries, bridges, dock yards,
steamship lines and vessels of all kinds;
purchase, lease. or operate mail and
express lines and establish and conduct
gas and electricity plants.
After Senator Cleveland had finished
his partial recapitulation he said a
measure of such indefinite, and at the
same time comprehensive scOpe was re-
pugnant to public policy. He did not
know that the promoters had any
sinister motives, but felt compelled to
labor for the bill’s defeat on general
principles.
should Oppose all measures of the same
“omnibus” nature. Corporations with
these expensive powers had brought
disgrace on the state of New Jersey
and he objected to opportunities for
smirching in the same way Connecti-
cut’s good repute. ‘
Root concurred with him, but Hol-
den defended the act and said that
Cleveland in giving utterance to his
suspicions didn’t know what he was
talking about. The remark was flip-
pantly uttered and gave. offence to
Cleveland, who demanded an apology.
It was tendered and accepted. The bill
was then returned to the table, which
is probably the last which will be heard
of it.
A report was made to the Senate. by
the committee appointed to inquire into
the work of the Putnam Park Memo-
rial commission. Ex-Senator I. B.
Bartram of Sharon is the head of the
commission. The committee find that
he has not been overpaid for his ser-
vices, and that no improper expendi-
ture has occurred. A gentle reminder
as to the lopping off of certain ex-
penses is contained in the suggestion
that for attending meetings in future
they receive only traveling expenses
instead of $5 per member for every
time they come together. The com-
mittee’s report was tabled. Putnam
park will probably get an appropria-
tionthis year of $7,500, instead of the
$33,000 for which the commission asked.
The Appropriations committee recom-
mended$40,000 to the Storrs Agricul-
tural school for the two years ending
J ul'y 1, 1895, the government appropri-
ation to be deducted. The Temper-
ance committee reported adversely the
bill vesting in grand Jurors the duties
now exercised by prosecuting agents,
and it was rejected, _
In accordance With their report the
act permitting licensed druggists to sell
intoxicating liquors to be drunk on the
premiSes was also rejected. In the
House the resolutions incorporating
the Radcliffe Bros, of Birmingham,
and the Shelton Savings bank were
passed in concurrence. Other calendar
measures passed in concurrence were
those appropriating $2,000to Thomas
”J. Hughes, 8. militiaman injured at N1-
antic last August ; $5,000 to the Homoe-
pathic hospital at New Haven; incor-

Capt. Selleck’s engine is the largest
of the three. . Its dimensions are 8 i’nch
cylinders, 10 inch stroke driving "a 46

Drew George Over the Dash.
On Monday, as Mr. George A. Dar-
row was driving from Norwalk to this
place with a load of 5x groceries, both
traces to the harness of the near side
horse snapped asunder at the same in-
stant, and as the horse stepped ahead
Of_his mate he drew George with the
reins over the dashboard,to the ground
between the two animals, and in close
prox1mity to the Wheels of the vehicle,
when with remarkable promptness
George exclaimed, whoa! and the steeds
came to a standstill, thus, (without
doubt) saving Mr. Darrow from being
the recipient of numerous bruises and
perhaps broken limbs, if not loosing his
life. George is satisfied his horses are
well broken, for had they not been, he
mightvhave got broken up himself.—

Effect of the Stringency in the Mono!

NEW YORK, June 17.-R. G. Dun & Co.’l
Weekly Review of Trade says, Concerted
nan-\-
failures and a tremendous drain of money
to the west had such effect here that the
banks were unanimous in deciding upon
the issue of clearing house certificates, but
more as a precautionary measure, to pre‘
vent trouble rather than because the pres-
ent urgency of the trouble made it neces-
sary. Much increased accommodations
for the business community are expected
to result. and doubtless will unless spec-
ulation, is stimulated to absorb all the in‘
crease in available resources through un-
due preference for marketable securities .
over other assets. ' The excitement at Chi.-
‘ cago and Milwaukee has abated, but the
weakness of banks at many western points
continues, and the character of failures
gency is having a seriOus effect upon mer-
chants and manufacturers who are in no
way concerned with speculative opera-
