. Lost in Playing at War.
The British battle ship Victoria yes-
terday, while playing at war, was ram-
med by the Camperdown ofi‘ Tripoli, on
the Syrian coast, and sank, more than
four hundred and fifty men losing their
lives. ' Vice Admiral Tryon and twenty.
two officers were among the lost. A
full account to date, is given in our
telegraphic columns. The details of
the disaster are coming in very slow-
ly, and it may be some days before the
loss of life can be fully known. Eng-
land canuot yet realize its deplorable
importance. The disaster was like a
naval defeat, not only in the loss of
ship and men, but above all the loss of
Vice Admiral Tryon, probably the
most able flag officer of the British
navy. _ ' L .
The whole world will stand aghast at
the fearful catastrophe, while. mourning
the loss of so many gallant British
officers and seamen. All other feeling
will be swallowed up in sympathy for
the many sufferers. '
The American Steamship Line.
The announcement is made that the
American Steamship Company has been
reorganized and developed into the In-
ternational Steamship Company. By
this new arrangement the company
will control and operate the vessels of
the Inman and Red Star Transatlantic
Companies and enter more largely into
the European trade. Inmaddition to
the vessels now in service, five new
ones, to cost $2, 000,000 each, and which
will be designed for extraordinary
speed, will at once be contracted for.
The recent developments in Ameri-
’ can ship-building and the good results
secured-by the American management
of the Inman line have contributed
* largely to this new enterprise. The
Cramps, truly remarks the Washing-
ton Post, have clearly demonstrated
their ability to build safe and fast ves-
sels, and when it comes to convenience
and comfort in travel American genius
can be depended upon to surpass all
competition.
The enlargement of the present Amer.
lean steamship service is but another
step in the work of rehabilitating the
country’s great carrying trade. The
success of this venture will but encour-
age capital to further exertions in that
line, and before many years shall have
passed the American people will not
have cause to blush for either their
ocean liners or their Navy.
O
The City of Norwalk.
Now that the major portion of Nor-
walk’s population is to be placed under
a City Charter, our citizens are natur-
ally anxious to be better informed as
to the practical benefits that may rea-
sonably be expected from so radical a
change in our local municipal govern-
ment.
The GAZETTE is in receipt of a com-
munication from a highly respectable
citizen and considerable tax-payer,—re.
questing such information in detail.
It will be a pleasure _to give all the
,‘pleasant expectations, improvements
and benefits fondly anticipated by the
promoters of the City charter scheme,
but to do so candidly, with intelligent
, clearness, it is better to await the Gov-
_ ernor’s signature to the bill and the
revised copy Of the act precisely as it
has passed the legislature. Until then,
we-‘may state in general terms, that
City charters are now the fashion, the
, Borough has become old fogy, and is
- fast becoming obsolete in thrifty and
enterprising localities. A city govern-
ment is claimed to be far more efficient
and easy/of administration, and is
closer in its accountability to the peo-
ple, by reason of its ward or locality
representation, and that it costs the
tax-payers 320- more than the old-time
“rotten; 3 ._ .311” system. But we
will tryzgfoiijore elaborately elucidate
the prob‘lémf'lii' a future article.

A Representative Walsh of ’Bridgeport,
created a sensation in the House Fri-
day. The House had been in session
’but a short time when Mr. Walsh arose
and called for the bill providing for
the elimination of grade crossings in
Bridgeport. During the remarks Mr.
Walsh made various pointed insinua-
tions against the railroad committee of
the General Assembly, and these were
quickly resented by two members of
the committee.
Mr. Rockwell, chairman of the com-
mittee, arose and explained the provis-
ions of the bill. He reviewed what oc-
curred before the committee, explain-
ing the conflict between the city and
the railroad company. There was no
hope of a compromise between the dis-
putants, and the present bill was an ab-
solute necessity.
Mr. Rockwell was interrupted repeat-
edly by Mr. Walsh. Finally Mr. Lees
of Westport inquired whose bill it
really was.
Mr. Rockwell replied that it was the
railroad company’s bill.
“Drdn’tihe railroad company write
the bill ?” inquired Mr. Walsh.
‘iNo” Mr. Rockwell replied.
_‘ I say it’s the railroad company’s
bill entire, ” Mr. Walsh replied. ‘ ‘They
wrote it and gave it to the committee.”
' Mr._Rockwell finally managed to flu-
ish his remarks, and Mr. Keeler of
Norwalk moved to indefinitely post-
pone.
' Mr. Rockwell again arose and Spoke
in opposntion to this motion.
. Mr. Walsh then arose and made an
impresswe speech in opposition to the
brll. He said that he brought with
him to the assembly a remoustrauce
signed by 4,000 Citizens of Bridgeport.
If sufficient. time could have been se-
cured in. which to circulate the remon-
strance it would have been signed by
50,000 people or nearly the entire pop-
ulation. He said Bridgeport was will-
ing to be fair and to pay its share of
the expense.
Painting at Mr. Clark of Haddam,
an aged member, who is also a member
of_ the railroad committee, Mr. Walsh
said he was sorry to see an old gentle-
man like the representative from Had-
dam controlled by the railroad com-
pany. Mr. Walsh said he would never
be owned by any corporation. -
, Mr. Clark arose in reply and said he
never owed anything to the railroad
company nor was it ever indebted to
him. He was under obligations to no-~
body unless it was to the city of Bridge-
port who had entertained him one day.
For that_eutertainmeut he was willing
to pay his portion of the expense any
. time. .He did not know whowroteflthe
bill and he did not care. He thought it
necessary to do something to stop the
constant killing of people in Bridge-
port, and he honestly believed the bill
was a good measure. Mr. Clark was
very much affected and grieved by Mr.
Walsh’s iusinuatious.
Mr. Beardsley of Bridgeport apolo-
gized to Mr. Clark. He said he did not
think the city of Bridgeport or the peo-
ple there imputed any but honorable
motives to him or any other member of
the General Assembly.
Mr. Walsh was again on his feet the
next minute. He said he did not mean
to insinuate anything against the gen-
tleman from Haddam in particular, but
he still claimed that the railroad com-
mittee of the General Assembly was
made up in the interests of the railroad
corporation. ,
This was a direct reflection upon the
integrity of Speaker Brooks. as he ap-
points the different committees. Mr.
\Valsh’s last statement consequently
brought Judge Wood to his feet and
he demanded that the Bridgeport rep-
resentative be called“ to order, as his re-
marks were a reflection upon the speak-
er of the House.
Chairman Rockwell was very much
excited. He said he wished to resent
the imputatious of theman from Bridge-
port. 'He pronounced Mr. Walsh’s
statements a shame and a disgrace.
Speaker Brooks at this point called
the gentlemen to order, telling them
they must discuss the bill and not per-
sonalities.
Mr. Walsh was still on his feet and
Mr. Beardsley was tugging at his coat
tails, beogiug him to sit down and be
calm. Mr. Walsh, however, insisted
upon telling the railroad committee
what he thought of their conduct, but
Attorney O’Hara and other Bridgeport
friends finally induced him to resume
his seat.
Mr. Healey of Windsor Locks moved
to table the matter and on the vote the
clerk announced the absence of a quo-
rum. As a matter of fact there was a
quorum present but opponents of the
railroad felt confident the bill would be
passed if a vote were taken, so they did
not answer to their names. The bill
will be taken up again on Tuesday.
_After adjournment Mr. Walsh apolo-
sized to Speaker Brooks. He said he
id not intend to say anything reflect-
ing upon the honor of the speaker and
was sorry that he allowed those words
to slip from his tongue.
The members of the House took sides
with and against the Bridgeport repre-
sentative, and the matter was discussed
earnestly by the members on their way
towards home. ‘ -
The nominations for state prison di-
rectors were submitted to the Senate
and sent to the committee on executive
nominations. .‘The directors are : Four
years, Charles F. Bollman, New Ha-
ven ; J. L. Woodbridge, Hartford ; M.

terms, E. M. ‘Chapiu, New Hartford ;

cer, Waterbury; J. , M. Chitteudou,

The bill providing for the openrng of
saloons one hour after the closing of
the polls on election day was tabled.

A Puelngjjs CRIME.
Killed His Little Boy and Then Com-
mitted Suicide., '
ROCHESTER, N. Y., June 24.—Bartholo-
may J. Doran, a lightweight pugilist of ,
note, who came to this city a week ago
accompanied by his wife and year and a
half old boy, suddenly disappeared with
his wife yesterday morning, and their
child, which was apparently in goodhealth
on Thursday, was found dead a few hours
later in the room occupied by the couple.
Doran’s decapitated body was found
shortly after 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon
by the tracks of the Rome, Watertown
and Ogdensburg railroad, one mile east of
Windsor Beach. Coroner Kleindieust was
notified, and on his arrival was told by
men who were watching the body that a
woman who had been with the dead man
had walked west on the track. The cor-
oner followed up the track on a light on-
giue and found a woman, who told him“
that he? name was Mary Dorau, and that
the man found dead on the track was her
husband. The coroner placed her under
arrest and brOught her to this city, where
she is now in a cell in the police station.
She told this story:
“My little boy was sick last night. He
could not stand up, and fell two or three
times, cutting his head. About 9 o’clock
I got him quiet and I went to sleep. I
slept till early morning when my husband
awoke me and told me Phil was dead. I
asked him how he came to die and he said,
‘I killed him; I gave him morphine.’ He
said we must go away or we would be ar-
rested. W’e took a street car and went to
Charlotte. Then we crossed the river and
went to \Viudsor Beach. We spent the
day walking on the shore. Bart said it
would be better if we were all three dead
and wanted to get a boat to take me out
on the lake to drown me. But he could
not get a. boat. A train came along and
he threw: himself under it and it cut his
head 011‘.” .
Mrs. Doran is about 23 years old, and
not unprepossiug in appear e. The po-
lice seem disposed to accep or story as
true.
