De‘ath of Senator Stanford.
U. S. Senator Leland Stanford, who
was found dead inhis bed at midnight
yesterday, at his Palo Alto farm, wa as
conspicuous type of the California
millionaire, a good man, of large en
terprise and of fibroad and generous
views. who tried always to make the
best use of his opportunities, both in
,his public and private relations, and
who devoted to works of charity and
beneficence a large part ofthe colossal
fortune which his energy amassed.
He was born in the State of New
York, and began the practice of law
there, but, went to California in ’49,
and in “keeping store” and in other
dealings with the miners, laid the foun-
dations of the great business career
which culminated in the construction
of the Pacific Railroad. He got early
into politics, was a delegate to the Lin- '
coin convention, at Chicago, and as
Governor of California at the begin-
ning of the civil war, rendered import-
ant service to the Union, though his
part in the great railroad enterprise
was perhaps the most important'of all.
He did not take any specially prominent
part in the Senate, but California has
reason to remember him with admir-
ation and gratitude, and the great uni-
versity he founded, in memory of his
only son, will preserve his name to pos-
terity. ‘
His death will make no present politi-
cal change in the Senate, as the vacancy
will be filled by appointment of the
Governor, who is a Republican, and -
the Legislature to be elected next fall
will choose his regular successor.

A Real Temperance Measure.
Mr. Oliver Sumner Teall, of New
York, has issued a very eloquent and
forcible paper, which he calls an “ap-
peal” to the public. Its point is not,
remarks the WashingtonPost, as some
might hastily suppose, to reach a point
in etiquette or establish a precedent of
mode. It is directed toward a great
and growing evil—that of “treating”
in clubs and barrooms—and its purpose
is purely moral and reformatory.
The question is not a new one. Mr.
Teall presents no claim to originality.
He does not pose as a pioneer. He
simply takes up the controversy where
others dropped it, and is endeavoring
to achieve by organization and sys-
tematic work what they failed to
achieve by independent and incoherent
effort. It is hardly necessary to go
over the ground of Mr. Teall’sargu-
ment. Everybody is familiar with its
details and its bearing. Perhaps a
single extract from his “appeal” will
answer every purpose of illustration:
“All day long men drink just be-
The greatest harm, however, is done at
night. A party of young men who
have been spending the early part of
the evening in any of the usual social
pleasures may start to walk home to-
One of them suggests that
they take a drink. Each of the party,
say of five, wants a drink, and there is
no reason why he should not have it.
It would be all right if it stopped there,
but one man has treated the party, and
another thinks it incumbent upon him
to do the same, and soon each man.
who only wanted one. drink, has had
that he needs many more. The result
is an enforced expenditure of money,
which can be little afi'orded,and a
night spent in dissipation, followed by
a day of necessary stimulation. This
sort of thing, kept up night after night
because it is considered the correct
thing, has been the cause of many a
young man’s mm.”
It will be observed that Mr. Teall
does not antagonize the» use of liquor,
continues the Post. He confines his
labors to the arrest of its abuse. He
does not tell any one that it is wrong
to .drink. He endeavors, simply, to
point out the mischievous folly of
drinking too much. In a word, his co-
adjutors are common sense, good breed-
ing, and self-respect.
Mr. Teall states a notorious and un-
deniable truth when he says that the
treating custom. has made drunkards
of thousands who, but for it, would
have lived sober and useful lives.
der that custom the rich and the idle
are enabled to set the pace. The mere
possession of money enables men to
become leaders, and the foolish spirit
being considered mean, spurs other
men to expenditure which they can ill
only. harm. This, as Mr. Teall insists,
is a real evil, an unnecessary evil, an
Un- '
nating. It is an evil in attacking which
we need encourage no prescriptive
spirit nor interfere with any man’s per-
sonal right of action. The success'of
the movement would not prevent the
individual from drinking as much as
he thought desirable or necessary. It
would simply protect him from being
forced to drink more. The idea is not
to restrict hospitality. What is sought
is the abolition of the “ treating ” cus-
tom and the consequent emancipation
of men from the obligation, real or
fancied, but none the less inexorable,
of returning so-called ‘courtesies. ’
We think that Mr. Teall’s proposition
is entitled to careful and respectful
consideration. The custom to which it
points already prevails in England and
most of the older countries. It has
been adopted by the governments of
several social‘clubs in this country,
notably the Péndennis Club, of Louis-
ville, and the Hermitage, of Nashville.
It would operate beneficently'in every
ramification of society and. class of life.

The store of Kellogg .& Horton at the
junction of Belden and Riverside ave-
nues was bur larized Wednesday night.
At 6 o’clock t is morning, when Edward
F. Baldwin who is employed as a clerk
at the store opened the fnont door he
was surprised to find a window at the
rear end of the store ~w1de open. He
was positive that when the store was
closed- at 8 o’clock the ,wrndow was down
and the wooden shutters closed and-
bolted. He investigated and found that
an entrance had been gained by un-
bolting the shutters, and an attempt
made to cut out a pane of glass which
was broken in so doing. The burglars
then reached in through the aperture
and turning back the catch opened the1
window and proceeded to help them-
seIVes to goods. At the rear of the store
the floor is strewn With Sawdust. This
adhered to the feet of theburglars and
was tracked about the store. To a GA-
ZETTE reporter Mr. _Horton said that so
far he had found missing 32 in pennies,
six pies, some cigars, several papers of
tobacco,socks, suspenders, etc., in value
not in excess of $25. In making their
departure the thieves left the window
wide open. It is thought to be the work
of youngsters who infest that neighbor-
hood, and it is believed that they will
be apprehended. Deputy sheriff Toner
is investigating the matter.

until abOut 11 o’clock last night. When

fellow went away, and stopped at one

is from $500 to $2,000 fine, and one to
five years’ imprisonment.

Jack Burns Meets a Horrible Death
at the Monroe Street Crossing.
Eight FreightCars Pass Over Him.
\
Henry Lanniere, better known in
this city as “Jack Burns,” met a herri-
ble death at the Monroe'street cross-
ing yesterday afternoon at 2.45 o’clock.
Lanniere was employed on one of the
Sw1tcher crews, going to work at 2
o’clock and working until ten.
He was in the act of climbing up the
laddet on one of the cars, when he mis-
sed his hold and fell to the tracks be-
low, the wheels of eight cars passing
over his head and the upper portion of
his body, crushing them into a shape-
less mass. A stretcher was procured
and the unfortunate'man was carried
to the baggage room. Medical Exam-
iner Burke was summoned, and viewed
the remains,which were subsequently re-
moved to Undertaker Gregory’s rooms
to be prepared for burial.
- Lanniere came to this city from
Nashua, N. 11., about three years ago.
Being a young man of steady habits
and pleasing ways he made many
friends among whom the news of his
terrible death was received with the
deepest sorrow. He was for some time
a memberof the S. N. A. C. where his
/clever ability as a tumbler was well

East Avenue Runaway. -
Wednesday afternoon two horses
hitched to a tramway car in East Nor-
walk, broke loose from the car and ran
up East avenue at a rapid pace. When
in front of Selectman Raymond’s house
the team ran into a large tree and sep-
arated, one of the horses continuing
on up the sidewalk to a fence which he
bounded over and then ran back to
Van Zandt avenue and to South Nor-
walk where he was captured. This is
the same horse that ran away and
caused the death of C. W. LeCount
some weeks since. The other horse
ran into A. C. Golding’s door-yard and
after demolishing a hennery was cap-
tured and returned to his stable. * -

A Million Dollars. '
According to Samuel H. Hurd, a-son-‘
in-law of the late Phineas T. Barnum, '
there is no doubt that Mr. Bailey will
personally own the “Greatest Show on
Earth” within the next month. ,
Mr. Hurd said yesterday that under
an agreement made before Mr. Bar-
num’s death, the surviving partner was
to conduct the business for three years
and divide the profits equally With the
heirs of the deceased members. Mr.
Bailey has done this, the third season
being. now partially expired. -
The heirs by joint consent have given
the figures at which they W111 sell. Mr.
Hurd would not state the exact amount
agreed upon but admitted. that it was
in the neighborhood of $1,000,000.
