Justioe Blatchford’s Successor.
President Cleveland will have no lack
Of good material to select from when
he comes to fill the vacancy on the
Supreme Bench caused by the death
of Justice Blatchford. Already a num-
ber of distinguished lawyers and judges
have been named as well qualified for
the position, and prominently among
the names mentioned is that Of Judge
Simeon E. Baldwin, of New Haven.
The President might go farther and
fare much wOrse, as Judge Baldwin
possesses conspicuous qualifications for
the high position. Connecticut, the
foster mother Of erudite lawyers, would
rejoice at Judge Baldwin’s selection.
Philadelphia's Railroad irrigation.
There are few bars in the country
conducted in quite the same way as
those attached to the large passenger
station of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
If there were more such, says an ex-
change, it would doubtless be as well
for all who patronize such places. Over
the bar in Broad Street Station, for in-
stance, is the sign, “ No Spirituous Li-
quors Sold Over This Bar," and under
no circumstances can any brandy, whis-
ky, or any compounded drink contain-
ing them be had. But on the other
hand there are dispensed ales, imported
or domestic beers, cordials, and almost
every light wine, including sherry,
hock, claret and the various Rhine vin-
tages. Whether the theory be correct
or not, it is a fact that an intoxicated
person is hardly ever seen in Broad
Street Station or on the trains leaving
there. Of course there are plenty of
places in the neighborhood where
strong liquors maybe procured, but
it has been found that excluding them
from the station restaurant has a sober
effect, and tends to lessen intoxication
or reduce it to the minimum.
. The Day—Rancher Puzzle.
Sunday’s New York World, bewil-
dered as is the rest of human kind, over
the Pound Ridge and Eastport matri-
monial misalliance, truly observes that
Pastor Day, of Eastport, and Miss Har-
riet Fancher, of Pound Ridge, owe an
explanation to the rest of the race.
Their conundrum is not a fair one, and
can never be guessed. Tersely put it
is this: Why are they not living to-
gether as man and wife?
Ordinarily that question answers it-
self in cases of matrimonial disagree-
ment. There are, as we might say,
explanations as they go along. But
in this case Pastor Day leaves East-
port in a brand-new suit and beaming
state of mind to go to Pound Ridgeto
get married. . He intimates jocundly
and triumphantly that he will bring a
blushing bride back with him to glad-
den his congregation. Then he whis-
tles a few bars of a wedding march and
departs.
His faithful and admiring parishion-
ers get ready for. his return. They
erect a joyous tent 97nd festoon it with
orange blossoms and July roses; they
kill a tender lamb and get ready to
give thanks with ice-cream. All is in
exultant readiness, when Pastor Day
returns with a sad and bewildered
look, alone, his pin-feathers drooping,
his four-in-hand neck-tie out of line.
and an air of loneliness pervading his
legs. - -
His only explanation is that the
blushing bride changed her mind after
the ceremony. Relays of reporters
have been unable to extract any ade-
quate explanation from Miss Fancher
——Or, as she claims to be, Mrs. Day—
save the barren and unsatisfactory
conclusion that she doesn’t care to
live with her husband.
The friends at both ends Of the-line
swear by thevrectitude, the honor and
s the entire respectability of both par-
ties, and the two communities. and- a
large share of the outside world, are
puzzling themselves with the question :
“ What is the matter?” “If the mar-
riage is so soon done for, what was it
begun for 1?”
It seems a case of excessive and irrec-
oncilable incompatibility suddenly de-
veloped. It would bea positive relief
to intense curiosity and solicitude if
the mic-mated parties would take the
public into their confidence and make
.a clean breast of the cause of the dif-
ficulty.

a funeral Sunday evening. He was on
a tramway car. As the car came down
Mill Hill, and when near Quintard’s
block, “Sam” clutched one of the
guard rails with the intention of swing-
ing to the walk. As he did so his left
shoulder came in contact with an elec-
tric light pole, and but for the timely
assistance of a companion he" would
have fallen to the ground and perhaps
have sustained serious, if not fatal in-
jury. To a GAZETTE reporter “Sam”
this morning said, “By darn, I would
not do it again for Grumman’s beer
wagon, with the horses throw ed in.”

HIGHWAYWHPTURED
' Thomas Hall and Edwin Veitch
Arrested for the Robbery of.
Everett E. Wheeler in
Snowoen’s ,_ Woods.
They Aiso Prove to be 'the Wire
Thieves.
Ever since Everett E. Wheeler, who
keepsthe little candy and fruit store on
Washington street, South Norwalk,
was wa laid and robbed while passing
throng Snowden’s woods n his way
home to Whistleville, Satu‘ ay night,
July let, the police have been untiring
in their efforts to capture the robbers.
Chief Vollmer has given the case spec-
ial attention, and several suspected
parties have been arrested on suspicion,
but after a rigid examination they were
released, as nothing could be proven
against them.
On Saturday the Chief secured. a
clue which led to the arrest, Sunday,
of Thomas ‘Hall, of Whistleville, and
Edwm Veitch, of East Norwalk, two
young men who have not borne the
best of reputations. Both were ar-
rested at their homes by the officers,
and_ after being given sufficient infor-
mation by the officers to satisfy them
that they knew they were guilty, both
prisoners confessed and tried to lay the
blame upon the other. Hall said that
about five weeks ago Veitch came to
him and wanted to know if he knew
how much money old Wheeler general-
ly carried home with him on Saturday
nights. Hall replied that be under-
stood about $200, whereupon Veitch
proposed that they should rob him
some night when he was going through
the woods on his way home. Hall
would have none of it and the matter
was not mentioned again until June
24th, when Hall promised to go with
Veitch. They both met at the depot
that evening and proceeded to Snow-
den’s woods. Hall found an old rag on
the way and made two masks out of it
With which they disguised themselves.
They waited patiently 'and finally
Wheeler came along. Hall says that
Veitch wanted him to strike Wheeler,
but that his courage failed him and he
would not do it, so Wheeler was not
molested that night and the would-be
highwaymen returned home without
carrying out their prOJect.
_ Several days after they met again and
it was arranged that they should rob
Wheeler on the night of July 1st. On
that night they met on Water street and
had several drinks together, and after
purchasing a bottle of whiskey proceed-
ed to the woods, going down Water
street to Raymond to Concord and from
there to the woods. -On entering the
woods Veitch cut a club with which to
knock their victim down. Soon after
secreting themselves Mr. Wheeler came
along and Veitch hit him on the head
with the club, knocking him down.
Hall then grabbed him by the throat
and Veitch went through his pockets,
securing $14 in small change. Hall
says that Veitch gave him $94 of this
keeping the remaining 310 himself.
The men then left, the woods and struck
the railroad track, walkyed to Stamford,
took a train for New ork. and staid
there until Monday morning, when
their money being nearly exhausted,
they returned to South N orwalk.
Veitch tells a somewhat different
story, laying the blame on Hall, claim-
ing that he did not known where they
were going when they. started for the
woods on that eventful Saturday night.
He says that Hall came to his home in
East Norwalk on that day and told him
he wanted to see him on Water street
that evening. He accordingly met him
and Hall took him to his home in
Whistleville, where he left him outside
while he went in and procured two
masks which be brought out. Hall
then told him to put one on and come
with him. He asked Hall what he was
going to do and he told him to “shut up”
and follow him. He followed to Snow-
den’s woods, cutting a club on the way.
They had been in the woods but a few
minutes when some one came along and
said “good evening 1” He recognized
Mr. Wheeler’s voice and saw Hall strike
him twice knocking him down. Hall
then caught him by the throat and With
an oath told Veitch to go through his
pockets. which he did, securing ’70 cents.
Hall said there must be more and told
him to search again. The second
search revealed the change bag con-
taining 814. Veitch then told the same
story as Hall about going to New York.
Both men are thoroughly frightened
now that they are under arrest ; and in
addition to the stor of the Wheeler
robbery told by Hal , he has confessed
’that he and Veitch are the thieves who
stole the Norwalk and South Norwalk
Electric Light company’s Wire at Whis-
tleville last May ; also, that-Veitch and
another party stole the wires from Tay-
lor avenue a short time since.
Hall and Veitch-were brought before
Justice Barrett this mornin , and both
bound over to the Superior. ourt under
$1,000 for the Wheeler. robbery. They
were also charged w1th_ stealing the
wire from the Electric Light company,
'and both confessed their guilt. They
said that they sold the wire to Phillip
Harris, an East N orwalk Junkman, and
that Phillip Harris carted the wire from
Taylor avenue after it was'stolen, and
that Ike Harris carted the wire from
the WhistleVille robbery.’ This, places
and it is probable that the will be ar-
rested. Voitch testified t at on the
Taylor avenue robbery Wolf Popp ac-
companied them. It_is understood that
Popp has'left town since the arrest.
The police deserve great credit for
the arrest of these thieves, especially
Chief Vollmer, who has been unceas—
inginhis efforts to hunt the guilty
parties down, and he will no doubt
come in for the reward of $50 offered
company-for the arrest and conviction
of the thieves who stole the company’s
wire. ‘ . -

Plain as Day. -
An old man from Wilton stood on
East. avenue, Sunday evening, watch-
ing ,a trolley car move swiftly along
with a heavy load of passengers.”
"‘That’s one of these ’lectric cars
ain’t it ?” he 'said, turning to a man
who was leaning up against an elm
tree. _
“Yes.” ’
“I don’t see how ’lectricity can make
a car full 0’ people flip along over the
ground like that. ”
“You'don’t ‘2” exclaimed the other,
becoming interested. “Why, it’s easy
enough to seethrough when you once
understand it. ”
“I ’xpect so, but I’ve never heard
enough about it to understand it.”
“It is all a matter of watts. A watt,
don’t you see, is a fraction of a horse-
power, expressed in the technical lan-
guage of electrical engineering. You
know what an ampere is, don’t you i”
"A what?”
"An ampere. It is a quantity of
electricit that goes through the wire
and deve ops the watt. The electricit
comes from the central dynamo throug
that Wire you see running alon over-
head, runs down that iron po 9 and
goes tb the meter, which is an ingen-
ious but perfectly simple arrangement
of Wire 0011s with a revolving frame
actedupon the current which sets it to
spinning, and thus puts in motion a
cog-wheel that engages another cog-
wheel that communicates the rotary
movement to a third cog-wheel fasten-
ed to the axle of the car. It’s as plain
as day when you get the idea.”
“Yes, at how——”
“ Don’t' you understand it yet?
There’s a sort of wire brush that presses
against a copper plate connected with
the motor, and the wire is wound on
the frame I was telling you about, so
that when the current enters the motor
it can go either wa , and part of it goes
one way and part t e other, so that the
pressure is applied in opposite direc-
tions, and that’s what makes the jigger
revolve and sets the wheels in motion.
The current goes back through an un-
derground wire. See through it now ?”
“Y-yes I think I kind 0’ get the idea.”
The afi'able stranger strolled down
the avenue and the old man took anoth-
er look_at the overhead wire, gazed ear-
nestly in the direction in which the car
had gone, took 011‘ his hat and wiped
his forehead.
“What I’d like to know.” he mut-
tered, “is how in thunder the electricity
makes the car go !”

With a sudden gasp her head fell back,
and she expired in the chair in which
she was sitting. She was in the 21st
year of her age, and greatly esteemed
and beloved by all who knew her.
Thus, With the suddenness of a light-
ning bolt from a cloudless sky, is
another Norwalk home made desolate,
and more hearts crushed with the un-
utterable anguish of bereavement.
