The Cyclone Season.

Life in the country is not all a‘ picnic
in the opinion of the Philadelphia Times,
and in that portion of the country usu-
ally termed “out west” those who are
alive at all, may count themselves as
especially fortunate. A country that
breeds cyclones, that decapitate human
beings, tear them limb from limb and
scatter the dismembered fragments
over several counties, besides whisking
away solid stone churches and convent
buildings as though they were paste-
board boxes, certainly has its draw-
backs as a place of residence. As one
reads the ravages of the recent cyclone
in Missouri and Kansas the wonder
grows .that the devastating, whirling
storm should have left even the real es-
tate. The western farm mortgage in
the opinion of the facetious Times, is
the only thing the western cyclone isn’t
equal to the task of lifting.

If the appalling cyclone was only a
periodical visitor like the seventeen-
year locust or the Asiatic cholera, peo-
ple in the cyclone belt could sleep ’0
nights with a reasonable expectation of
waking in the morning on the same
farm where they laid them down the
night before. But the great western
cyclone claims every season for its own,
and what is worse, doesn’t send word
when it may be expected. It usually
chooses a day so hot that ordinary hu-
manity hasn’t energy enough to get out
of the way, let-alone moving the house
and barn, and just sails in to shake
things up indiscriminately, and only
counts itself a howling success when
churches, school houses, jails and pri-
vate dwellings are gyrating in the air
with apple trees and folks thrown in as

spectacular fragments of the whirling
picture.

Of course rich lands that can be tilled
with a sulky plow and cornfields that
include a township are not to be_despis-
ed. They are good things in their way,
but the hillside farmers of theefiete
east prefer to eke out a scanty subsist-
ence by scratching the soil between the
rocks that disfigure their. small princi-
palities to owning and tilling western
farms from which they are in danger
of being ejected without notice by a
riproaring hurricane.

 

The Pardoned Anarchists.
The pardon by Governor Altgeld of
the three Anarchists who were yet in
the penitentiary for complicity in the

 

Chicago Anarchist riotsspveral “years is
.alffirmerresident of Norwalk. \ 1"

ago, could be excused. dilly "on the
ground that they were wholly inno-
cent of the grave charge on which they
‘were tried. If they had any part what-
ever in that murderous riot, there is
not an attribute of justice that could
plead for their pardon.

The excuse offered by the Governor
for the pardon is given in a criticism
of the trial, and that is, at best, a lame
apology. Two of the three pardoned
Anarchists were convicted Of murder

' and the punishment subsequently com-

muted to imprisonment for life, and
the third was sentenced for fifteen
years. That they were guilty of aid-
ing and abetting the horrible crimes
of the Anarchists can hardly be doubt-

ed; and that leaves the pardons with- ‘

cut justification. _

These Anarchists were pardoned be-
cause the Anarchists and their sympa-
thizing friends, the Socialists, have be-
come a formidable political power, and
what must the harvest be? There is
not an Anarchist conclave in the land
where there will not be rejoicing over
this overthrow of justice by the power
of banded revolutionists, and that alone
should awaken every law-loving citizen
to the growth of_ lawlessness in the
country. '

It is unfortunate, says the New York
Sun, that the Democrats should be res-
ponsible for the election of a Governor
who shows such a remarkable sympa-
thy with Anarchists and such a severity
against officers of the law. Apparently,
in the eyes of the Hon. John P. Alt-
geld the Anarchists were suffering in-
nocents, while Judge Gary and Mr.
Bonfield were ravening and malignant
persecutors.

We do not know. continues the Sun,
whether or not the eports are true
which represent Altgeld as a sort of
Know-Nothing turned inside out; that
is. a man who thinks that a foreign-born
American is better than a native-born
American, At any rate, there have
been reports, for some time, that he
was fishing for the so-called labor vote.
and hoped to-be elected a Senator in

 

Congress by reason of it. Only a day
or two before the pardon of the Anar-
chists, the Inter-Ocean published the
report that it was his object to make
himself sure of the Cook county labor
vote. By the labor vote is eant, of
course, not the vote of laboring men,
but the vote controlled by the noisy
and worthless agitators, almost invari-
ably foreigners, of whom Chicago, is
full. '

We would not lightly ascribe the
pardon of the Anarchists to political
motive and ambition. Governor Alt-
geld hasriscn as high and he has fallen
as low as he ever will. If he was sin-
cere in granting the pardon, he has
performed an act Of great self-sacrifice.
If he was insincere, he will be effec-
tually punished. Whether he is a mis-
taken sentimentalist or a semi-Anar-
chist or a scheming demagogue, he is
played out.

A Sad Case. g

For some weeks Mrs. James Hadden
has at times acted in a manner that led
to the belief that her mind was affected.
She is convalescent of an illness from»
which it was thought at the time she
would not recover, but owing to the
best of care and’nursing she pulled
through all right. These fits of aber-
ration came on at intervals of a few
days, and at these times she threatens
bodily harm to those who are nearest
and dearest to her. 7

Mrs. Hadden suffered an attack Wed-
nesday night, which proved to be of a
more alarming nature than any of the
previous ones. She secured possession
of a revolver of large calibre with
which she threatened shooting her hus-
band.

After considerable of a tussle, Mr.
Hadden succeeded in wresting the
revolver from the grasp of his .wife.
This seemed to only increase her
frenzy and she threatened dire things,
and assistance was found necessary in
subduing her. After a while she be-
came more rational, but it was not long
before she again became crazed, and
all efforts to quiet her were unavailing.
Officer Northrop was then called in,
but as. Mr. Hadden did not care to
have his Wife placed under arrest the
officer soon after went out. '

. This was at an early hour this morn-
ing. Later a lady friend. called when
Mrs. Hadden became more calm. She
however, refused to leave the house.

, Itis understood that she will be plac-
ed in a private home and under the
watchful care of a nurse until such time
as she recovers from her illness.

A Pleasing Prediction.

A manufacturer remarked yesterday
that he was confident that there would
be a heavy stifi‘ hat trade this fall.
He based his opinion upon precedent.
In eighteen years’ experience, he had
noticed that a heavy stiff hat trade had
invariably followed a big straw trade.
and when the straw trade was light stifi‘
hatting was sure to be light during the
season following. The straw trade had
been exceptionally heavy this Summer,
so if the fall trade in stiff hats is not
heavy precedents count for nothing.—

Washington Water. .

Washington water has a reputation
for its unhealthy effect upon the sys-
tems of Ndrtherners. and one of the
latest victims of illness, supposedly
from the use of copious draughts of
the fluid, is Patent Commissioner John
S. Seymour, of Norwalk. Last week
Mr. Seymour became indisposed, and
the doctor pronounced his case one of
internal poisoning. Mr. Seymour gave
up active work for a ,few days, and is
now all right and drinking, instead of
the regular hydraulic beverage fur-
nished by the city, soda and mineral
spring waters. Yesterday the patent
commissioner left for Connecticut to
visit for a few days with his family.—

/ At Hartford.

 

The House sat down Wednesday up-
on the Bridgeport Railroad bill which
the, Senate had passed. Such an over-
whelming rejection of the act was not
expected. There was no mistaking the
sentiment of of the House. It waain
favor of Bridgeport and “agin” the
Consolidated Railroad company.

Healey, through whose motion the
bill was tabled last Friday, called it up
and was followed by Keeler,of Norwalk,
in a savage assault upon the act. He
said the house should and evidently had
ascertained the Wishes of the people of
Brid eport and every member should
stan by them as he ought in a matter
affecting the interests of his own towns-
people. Brid eport was apparently
willing, to bear its just share of the cost
of thefimmovements and more than
this stream not be required. The Con-
solidated Railroad company was seem--
ingly disposed to use part of the money
obtained from the franchise privileges
granted them in an endeavor to defeat
the bill. He moved that it be indefin-
itely postponed.

T ese remarks elicited a rejoinder
from House Chairman Rockwell of the
Railroad committee, who said his com-
mitte had not accepted the bill until
convinced that an agreement between
the railroad company and Bridgeport’s
representatives was impossible. The
proposed improvements affected some
50 crossings. That these crossings at
grade should be abolished speedily was
most desirable, the preservation of hu-
man life and limb being of paramount
importance. For the Consolidated road
he would say it was giving the public
the highest form Of service, the recent
putting on of the fast trains between
New York and Boston being an illus-
tration. The company had recently or-
dered 15,000 tons of the heaviest weight
and best grade of steel rails to be laid
in this state. It had offered to bear 90
per cent. of the expense eliminating
crossings at grade in Bridgeport, and
were he a resident of that city he would
gladly accept the proposition. The cost
to the city would be less than $100,000,
while the worth might be counted into
the millions. .

Representative Beardsley of Bridge

'port next took the floor and made in

opposition to the bill one Of the most
powerful speeches delivered in the
present House. He said that fatalities
and other accidents at grade crossings
had caused a popular demand for their
abolishment which resulted in the
adoption of the law of 1889. Many
cases for damages had gone to the
courts the decisions of which were
generally in favor of the individuals or
the towns seeking redress. As a con-
sequence the _present general grade
crossing law was passed, mainly at the
instance of the railroads. A year ago
the Bridgeport matter came up as a
subject for action. Mr. Rockwell had
said the local authorities and the com-
pany did not agree. This was misstating
the case, the real reason of the trouble
being the refusal of the company to
disclose thelr plans east of Park ave-
nue. Their subsequent excuse for this
was that the disclosure asked for would
have caused an unjustifiable increase
in the purchase price of property need-
ed for the improvements.

Still an agreement might have been
possible but for the attitude of Presi-
dent Clark, Director Nathaniel Wheel-
er and Attorney Lynde Harrison had
assented to the plan offered by Bridg-
port, a year ago, but Clark would have
none of it. The bill as submitted was
the one preferred by the railroad com-
pany’s attorneys. The cost of the con-
templated improvements west of Park
avenue was only one-seventh of the
total. .

Passengers from Bridgeport paid
into the coffers of the Consolidated
$1,000 daily. He felt sure that a House
which had made a reputation as wear-
ing the collar of no corporation would
not allow Bridgeport’s rights to be
trampled upon. _

Lees, of Westport, disagreed With
Beardsley on the statement that public
sentiment had secured enactment of the
law of ’93. It was purposely construct-
ed to give the railroad the best of it
every time. “We are here,” concluded
Mr. Less, “not as servants of any cor-
poration, but as servants of the people.
He who serves the people best Wlll be
greatest among us.” The remarks of
Messrs. Keeler, Beardsley and Lees all
evoked hearty applause.

Marsh of Litchfield moved the pre-
vious" question, and refused to With-
draw it when Walsh of Bridgeport
asked for an opportunity to address the
House. _

On the vote for the prayious. ques-
tion, Rockwell, alone, voted in the
negative. _ _

he motion to indefinitely postpone
the bill was carried, with less than a
half-dozen dissenting votes. In order
to clinch the matter, Lees of Westport
moved to reconsider; rejected over-
whelmingly. _ _ .

This is disagreeing action With the
Senate, and that body will probably
insist. It being very unlikely that the
House will recede, the bill is practical-
1y dead. _

L nde Harrison, counsel for the
ma , was satisfied With the action
taken. He said the road/“had not ex-
pended a cent in pushing the bill and
was indifferent to its passage, and that
the Bridgeport situation would be left
as at present by the road rather than
expend $2,500,000 or $3,000,000 there
for improvements. .

The res1d‘ents of Mechanic street,
which follows the line of the New Ha-

bill had passed, that the line was likely
to oe built through that street. Judge
Glover secured the recall and recom-
mittal of the bill.

Caused by Tight Money.

.The firm consists of William C. Ban-
ning and Edward H. Bissell. They have
been in business since 1873, and for-
merly had branches in Boston and Chi-
cago. They did a large business,claim-
ing a captal of $200,000.

' They became interested a few years
ago in the manufacture of tannin ex-
tract at Huntingdon, which tied up a
large part of their means. It was said
about a year ago that Mr. Banning had
put. more than $100, 000 additional mon-
ey in the firm’s business, and last N O-
vember the statementof the firm showed
assets $280,000, liabilities $80,000
Cashier Berry, of the Tradesmen’s
Bank, said .tight money had a great
deal to do with the embarrassment of
the firmhas they were unable to nego-
tiate their commercial paper. He had
not learned the amount of the liabili-
ties. At the office of the firm it was
said tight money and an almost total
suspensmn of manufacturing, in which
their dyes were used, were the causes
of their trouble. Mr.Bissell,of the firm,
declined to say anything concerning
the liabilities or assets. He is a Nor-
walk boy and well known here as a Sch
of the late E. C. Bissell.

The Bill Disputed.

Wednesday evening ex-burgess J as.
F. O’Reilly met Daniel Burr Connelly
on Main street, and told him that he
had a little bill against him for groce-
ries. Daniel Burr demanded to see
the charge on the books. Both. then
went to the store formerly conducted
by Mr. O’Reilly, where the book con-
taining the charges against Mr. Con-
nelly was produced. The amount
charged was $12, which Connelly dis-
puted, but admitted that he owed two
dollars of the amount. but added that
he would not pay it. O’Reilly said, “ I
think you will,”and Connelly replied,"I
think I won’t.” Thereupon, as the
story is told to a GAZETTE reporter, the
ex-Burgess landed a blow with his fist
on the proboscis of Connelly, and then
proceeded to “do him up ” in true pu-
gilistic style. ' That his efforts were ef-
fectual may perhaps be adduced from
the report that Connelly was “put to
bed” soon after, and has beenthere
ever since. Probably arrests will fol-
low when Mr. Connelly is in the humor
to make the complaint.

BROAD RIVER.

In honor of the marriage of Mr.
Geo. Yoerger and Miss Minnie Muller,
the boys gave a “serenade” last night.
Their celebrations were doubly second-
ed by tin horns, fire crackers, guns,
tin pans,’ revolvers, etc. Later in the
evening supper was served and all were
invited in to partake of the good things.

The quarterly meeting of the Broad
River church society was held last
evening. It was decided to have a
peach festival the latter part of August.
The trustees instructed the treasurer
to pay $100 on the chapel debt.

YALE FRES_HMEN WIN. 3 2?"

The Triangular College Race at.

HARVARD’S CREW GAME IN SECOND.

The Columbia Crew Finishes Thirteen
Lengths Behind the \Vinnlng Boat and
Five Lengths Behfnd Harvard—A Pretty
Contest for Second Place. ’

NEW LONDON, Conn. June 29.—For the
third consecutive time the Yale freshmen
yesterday won the annual triangular boat
raccon the Thames by defeating Harvard
by eight and Columbia thirteen lengths.
The only respect in which the result of .
this year’s race differs from its two imme-
diate predecessors is that Columbia fln-
ished a poor third, while she has been able
to defeat Harvard heretofore.

Yale luck gave the boat with the blue
tipped ears the best course, the central
one. Harvard chose the west route, and

Columbia was left to run the chances of '

being run into the eel grass by a possibly
careless coxswaiu along the east side. .

At 5:43 Referee Brooks gave the signal
and twenty—four oars dropped into the
Thames. Columbia’s start was auspicious.
Her boat shot ahead like a dart, while
Yale got away slowly, but in fine shape,
and Harvard splashed and foundered aim-
lessly.

Columbia’s lead was, however, destined
to prove short lit-"d. A hundred yards
from the start Columbia. and Yale were
tied, and Harvard a few feet behind.
Columbia and Harvard’s company proved
too slow for Yale at this juncture of the
contest and the blue oars began dig
into the water for a. lead, which incr
with every yard that was traversed to the?
goal by the naval station. :

Just above the half mile flag the Her-1
vard ’Varsity eight was slowly riding 113
the course in the‘steam yacht Cora. "l
volley of Harvard cheers from the ’Var-'
sity oarsmen inspired the freshmen, and
new life seemed infused into the red boat.i
The gap between the two rear boats closed
up like a flash, and the race to escape 81
tailender’s disgrace became fierce.

Yale was five lengths ahead at the mile
post, and Harvard had worked out a. lead
of a length. Here Harvard settled down
to a mile of the prettiest, though far from
the most effective, oarsmanship ever ex-
hibited by a freshman eight on the Thames.
Yale's lead was constantly increasing over
both her rivals, and Harvard was also
continually drawing away from Columbia.
At the mile and a half Harvard had two
lengths lead over the Columbia crew,

while Yale was swinging away with a .

rithmetic and aggravatingly easylooking
stroke, six lengths in the lead.

Half a mile from the finish the race Was
decided. Yale and Harvard rowed with
the assurance of victors, strong and steady. .

The three crossed the finish with Yale
thirteen lengths ahead of Columbia, the
rear boat, and Harvard five lengths before
Columbia and eight behind Yale.

Harvard finished in excellent form, send-
ing the shell along at a sharp and even
rate. Columbia died game, rowing over
the line in better form than characterized
the oarsmanship of the boat during most
of the race.

That the record was not broken is due to
the strong wind, which, though following
the oarsmen, kept the sea choppy and
made the feat impossible. Yale seemed to
be rowing under instructions not to try for
the record, judging from her careful work
on the last mile.

The official time of the winning boat was ‘
10:23; Harvard, 10.47; Columbia, 11.02.

 

Bellaii'e’s Murder Mystery.

BELLAIRE, 0., June 29.—Neil McCabe, a
prominent young man of this place, was
found dead by a roadside, and investiga-
tion showed that he had been murdered.
His sweetheart, Miss Tilly Cutshaw, is
now in jail charged with complicity in the
murder. She says she was walking with
McCabe and that he took suddenly ill and
lay down on the ground. She then cov-
ered him up with his coat and left him, '
supposing that he would soon be all right.
When she next heard of him he was dead.
The impression is that the young lady
knows more of the murder than she has
told, and that McCabe was killed by a
rival for her hand in her presence, and
that she is trying to shield the murderer:

 

Four Fatally Burned.

SAGINAW, Mich, June 29.-—A fire, insig- ,

niflcant in its financial loss, wiped out an
entire family, with a single exception.
Catherine Neumann and her four children
occupied the second story of a frame
building, which was set on fire by an ex-
ploding lamp. The victims are Tilda
Neumann, aged 20 years; Lena Neumann,
aged 15; Frank Neumann, aged 12. Mrs.
Neumann is terribly burned about the
head and face, and will die. The only
person in the building saved was Alma.
Neumann, aged 17, who was taken out,
having sustained only slight injuries.
