Save Gettysburg Battle—Field.
The desecration of the battle-field of
Gettysburg by the company that is run-
a trolley line through it and parrallel
with the lines of the Union forces has
caused much indignation in’ all the
Grand _Army Posts. . Th‘e' blasting of
rccks where the brunt of Zone of the
greatest conflicts in the history of the
world took place’has aroused every vet—
eran of the blue and gray. ‘
Two remedies are proposed. One is
that the State of Pennsylvania shall res-
cue the battle-field; the other is that
the Federal Government shall purchase
it for a national park.
Put the Blame in the Right Place.
Our good Democratic brethren who
marched miles, yelled incessantly,
prodded the laggards, and did those
thousand and one things known as
_“ whooping ’er up for Grover,” are be-
ginning to- kick like the traditional '
Texas steer, because the appointive
poWer doesn’t appoint, and they blame
every man from the President down
for the situation. We would rise to re-
mark that fonr years ago the Harri-
son howlers were exactly in the same
fix and were making exactly the same
remarks, and the result of the last elec-
tion showed how they felt over the sit-
uation. As a matter of fact the Harri-
son howlers and the Cleveland cham-
pions should not blame either Mr. Har-
rison or _Mr. Cleveland because the
pic was not passed around. When
Benjamin or Grover came into office
they found their hands tied by the civil
service law, and however they may
have desired that their friends should
rest 12116112141911 feet on aunflice desk
they were unable to do anything in
that line. We beseech you our good
Democratic brethren not to say
naughty things about Grover because
you can’t get an office. Console your-
selves with the comforting thought that
four years ago the Republicans were
thinking your thoughts and talking
your talk. Don’t blame Grover, but
bang away at the civil service law which
stands between you and happiness, as
it stood between expectant Republicans
and happiness four years ago. Seri-
ously, however, if the young men of
both parties have any ambition to hold
government positions they must find
some way to have the civil service law
repealed or modified. Organize anti-l
civil service leagues, defy the Mug-
wumps, and the oflicial pie is yours.
This advice is strictly non-partisan and
applies to the young men of, both
parties. “ Snivil Service ” is a sham, a
humbug, a delusion and a snare and
should go. I
Hard Times.
The senseless cry of “hard times”
which the designing and the unthink-
ing are sending up is doing as much if
not more to bring about that very un-
desirable state of affairs than our un-
satisfactory currency system. It is
true that business in some lines is rath-
er inactive, but there is not that “ all-
round” depression that the croakers
would have us imagine. It is true that
the Kansas “ mortgage factories ” and
the New York “stock certificate foun-
dries” are not doing a rush business,
but otherwise there is very little to call
forth the wail of “hard times.” The
banks and money-lenders who were
bitten or rattled by the slump in trashy
stocks have tied up their money bags
and then chewed the knots, which ac-
tion has not helped those dependent on
the banks for accommodation. j The re;
peal of the Sherman law is regarded as
certain; the lowness of grain must lead
to exports, and the prices of iron and
cotton point to their immediate and
profitable manufacture. All these lead
to thejbelief and confident expectation
ithat ere long we may witness a pleas-
ing activity in business circles. It would
be a good plan for everyone before he
cries “hard times ”to take an actual
inventory of his situation and see
whether his income has shrunk or is
shrinking, or his business condition
really warrants his cry of “ hard times.”
Surely'no one should attempt to create
a state of affairs so undesirable'as are
“hard times ” by persistent and mourn-
ful creaking. Securities of any intrin-
sic worth have not’ sunk out of sight,
merchants and manufacturers are not
loaded up with large stocks, and crops
promise fairly well. The increase in
business failures have been in banking
and speculative circles rather than in
show that legitimate business is in fair-
ly good shape, and is bound to revive.
‘At any rate we would advise our read-
ers to wait a few months before they
become “calamity howlers ” and shud-
der over what they apprehend is an im-
pending crisis, but which is not likely
to come. Here at this end of the town
we have the terrible Borough tax to
wrestle with, which is a condition and
not a theory that confronts us, and that
is real and present trouble enough,
without “flying to others that we know
not of. ”

Accident at South Norwalk.
The passenger train on the Danbury
division of the Consolidated railroad
which left South Norwalk at 11:45
o’clock Saturday night, collided, head
on, with the Pittsfield freight from
Danbury, in the railroad yard near the
Danbury dock. The freight had been
switching cars in the yard and took a
siding to allow the passenger to pass.
Switchman Charles King, who has
charge of the yard and who opened the
switch for the freight, neglected to
close it. The switch light was out and
the passenger train dashed onto the
side track and collided with the freight
before the engineer knew he was on a
siding. The engineer and firemen of
both trains jumped and escaped serious
injury. Conductor Lewis Betts of the
passenger and brakeman John C. Mul-
vey were slightly injured. The passen-
gers were badly shaken up and fright-
ened, but none seriously hurt. Both
locomotives were wrecked and the
tracks were not cleared until 3:30 Sun-
day morning.
Sudden Death.
Mr. Phillip Holmes Vanderhoef. of
Brooklyn, and youngest brother of T.
Stanley Vanderhoef, of East avenue,
came up from New York on Saturday
afternoon, in company with Mr. Fran
Beatty, to visit his brother. He had
been ill for some time past, but for the
last few days was out and about. He
witnessed the bicycle race Saturday
evening, and was unusually cheerful
and uncomplaining _during Saturday
night. Sunday morning he complained
of illness and intense abdominal pain
and took to his bed. Dr. Walter Hitch-
cock was summoned, who prescribed
some remedies, which gave temporary
relief. Sunday afternoon his suffer.
ings became more intense, and. Dr.
Dexter Hitchcock was called in consul-
tation with Dr. Walter. _ At first it was
thought to'be acute peritonitis, but as
his condition grew constantly worse, it
became evident that the trouble was
fatal appendicitis. At 7.30 last even-
ing, and w1thout a struggle, his spirit
passed to_ the beyond. He was a New
York business man, highly esteemed by
all who knew him. He was thirty-five
years of acre and leaves a wife. His
brothers Stanley and William were at
his bedside when he so suddenly and
unexpectedly expired. His remains are
to be conveyed to the home of his fathi'
er in Brooklyn, to-day, from whence

A Bright Light.
The Grumman Bros. billiard room
is now illuminated by what is known
as the Angle lamp. It is, without
doubt, one of the finest lamps extant.
It gives a splendid light and there is no
under shadOw. It requires but little
care, never smokes or smells, and it is~
claimed gives “a better light than gas
or incandescent and throws no more
heat.” It is simple of construction,
and easy to care for. It burns sixteen
hours without refilling at a cost of 2-10
of a cent an hour for each burner. It
is a wonderful lamp with the best feat-
ures of all other lamps combined. We
understand that the Messrs. Grumman
have the agency for the sale of “Angle”
in Norwalk. .
Auntie Miller—Ronk’s Escape.
Auntie Miller-Bonk had another nar-
row escape from being struck by the
cars, Sunday morning. She lives along-
side of the track just below the Housai
tonic freight house and in the morning
she called on a neighbor, Mrs. Marron,
who lives next door. When she started
home, she walked out on the railroad
track just as the train which reaches
Norwalk at 9:30 came around the curve.
She is very deaf and did not hear the
approaching train and was serenely
walking along with the engine almost
upon her,when Mrs. Marron,who heard
the thrill whistle of the engine, rushed
out of her house and catching Mrs.
Ronk by the arm, pulled her off of the
track just as the train flew by. The en-
gineer stopped the train, expecting to
find her lifeless body under the wheels",
and was surprised when he discovered
“Auntie” hobblin into her but with
the aid of Mrs. arron. This is the
third time that Mrs. _Ronk has come
near being killed at this same spot.

The Unlon’s Side of it.
An article appeared in these columns
on Thursday headed “A Puzzler” and
referred to the matter of the' Painters’
Union blackballing a painter named
“Kip” Benedict. A party representing
the Union wishes the GAZETTE to pub-
lish the following in reply : ‘ ‘As regards
the case of “Kip” Benedict and the
Painters’ Union. He was requested to
join the Union when in the employ of
of the J. T. P. Co. but refused
as he said he was going back to
New Haven or somewhere else. He
never placed any money in any members
hand whatever, and when having left
the Prowitt Co. and went to Geor e Os-
terbanks for a week he was to 6. he
could not work longer unless he joined
the Union, and then he signified his
willlingness to Join, and even then his
employer gave the amount of his initia-
tion fee into the hands of one of the
Union,, and that was only on the Tues-
day evening of the regular meeting.
After his rejection his fees were return-
ed to his employeer and he was told in
the ante-room of his rejection the same
night, so consequently he never gave
any fees to any member, neither did he
receive it back. He was balloted for
tw1ce so as to have no doubt of his re-
jection. As regards what the Union
does or has done in his case is a mat-
ter which they alone are responsible
and and do not ask for any outside in-
terference, and if Mr. Benedict would
state his case in the right manner it
,would bemore manly, but if he thinks-
he can gain anything by his statement

The Handicap Bicycle Race.
“It will come off if it. rains bicycle
lamps,” remarked an enthusiastic mem-
ber of the Alpha Wheel club Saturday
morning. He referred to the annual
10-mile handicap race to be given under
the auspices of the club in the after-
noon. At the time it had every ap-
pearance that the race would be “ trot-
ted” in the rain. The race came off,
it _was a grand success, and it did not
rain—that is not until after the race
was finished.
As early as three o’clock people be-
gan to _assemble on the Green, dressed
in their best but in nearly every case
With umbrellas under their arms. As
far as the eye could reach down the
avenue the walks were fringed with
people anxious to see the race, which it
is estimated was witnessed by fully two
thousand persOns.
Shortly after 4 o’clock starter Geoge
Kirk gave the word “go” to E. Daniels
and W. Schlitt and they were followed
in quick succession according tcg their
handicap, the last two to get th word
“go” being J. B. Perry and C. Ford
Seeley. A great deal of interest was
centered in these last two riders, both
as to what time they would make and
as to which would gain the elegant $35
gold medal offered by the club for the
rider making the fastest time over the
course. The race was closely contested
by these two riders and as will be seen
by the score below, Perry won the
‘medal with only one second to spare.
His time was 29.06.
While on the down stretch for the
second time, and when near the rail-
road crossing on East avenue, Stanley
Raymond collided with P. L. Smith of
New Britain. Both were thrown from
their wheels. Smith received severe
wounds about the head, face and body,
and his wheel was wrecked. Raymond
was cut on his knee but was able to
mount his wheel, which he did and re-
turned to the starting paint.
The judges were Messrs E. N. Sloan,
H. R. Smith, J. P. Treadwell, W. A.
Curtis and E. O. Keeler. Messrs H.E.
Dann, Munson Hoyt and Chas. Dil-
worth acted as timers, and A. F. Carl-

ON THE OLD CAMP GROUND?"
The Army of the Potomac Gordian! In-
vited to Fredericksburg.
WASHINGTON, June 19.—Major William
Howard Mills, of this city, has received a
letter from Mayor A. P. .Rowe, of Freder-
icksburg, Va., extending an' invitation to
the Society of the Army of the Potomac to
hold their annual reunion for 1894 in that
city. The meeting this year will be held
in Boston on the 27th and 28th of this
month. At this time a place will be se-
lected for the reunion a year hence, and
the citizens of Fredericksburg urge that
their city be chosen.
The city council of Fredericksburg unan-
imously passed a resolution promising the
society a fraternal welcome and asking
them to come and “once again pitch their
tents on the old camp grOunds. and in
imagination live over the war times.”
This invitation is said to be the r ult of
a speech deliveré'd by Major Mills 11 the
2d inst. at Fredericksburg cemetery on
Confederate Memorial day. _
Major Mills believes that the invitation
will be accepted, and that such a. large
number of soldiers, representing both
sides in the late contest, will assemble
that it will be necessary to ask congress to
pass a resolution authorizing the diarter- ’
master general to loan the society the 400
tents recently used by the Grand Army of
the Republic, thus enabling many of the
blue and gray to repose side by side, un-
der the same blankets, as they did imme-
diately after Appomattox.

The Insurance Company Pays the Policy
an Her Son’s Life.
TRENTON, June 19.—-Mrs. Mattie C.
Shaun, who is confined in the county jail

dent Bernard McLaughlln, of the Metro-
politan Insurance company, with a check
for $121, being the full amount of the pol-
icy held by Mrs. Shanu upon her son’s life.
Mr. McLaughlin was notified by the com-
pany'to pay the claim, and immediately
sent a. note to Barton 8:. Dawes, attorneys
of Mrs. Shaun, apprising them of the fact,
and adding that the company never re-
fused payment, but simply waited until
they satisfied themselves that Mrs. Shaun
was entitled to the money. Superinten-
dent McLaughlin was accompanied by Mr.
Barton when he handed the check to Mrs.
Shaun. The latter thanked the superin-
tendent and said: “I hope everything will ‘
come right in time.” Mr. Barton said
afterward that the case had been thor-
oughly investigated by ex-United States
District Attorney Steward L. Woodford,
of New York, who is the counsel of the in~
surance company, and that Mr. \Voodford
had decided that Mrs. Shaun did not poi—
son her son. Under his advice the com-
pany has paid the claim. The prosecution
will give no special. weight to the incident.
7 Mrs. Shaun’s trial is to begin July 10.
