Flag Day. ,
The idea of setting apart one day
each year 'for the special purpose of
honoring the American flag, is one that
deserves and will assuredly receive the-
sanction of every patriot in our Repub-
‘ lic, says Blue and Gray for July.

America is the most patriotic of na- .

tions, and still it is ‘ not patriotic
enough. We are a busy people, and in
the rush and hurry of trade we are too
apt to forget our more sacred duties.
After “mother” and “heaven” no
words are so potent as “home” and
“ country. " _ ‘
When the rising generation shall
have taken the reins of government,
with this love of the flag of our coun-
try deeply implanted in their, very
souls, there will be no nation so rash as
. to insult or even show discourtesy to
an American sailor or citizen when un-
der the folds of our. national emblem ;
none to cry “jingo” when the rights of
our people abroad are maintained by

whatever force may be required for the _

purpose. And this We want to see.

‘ Good Work.

The arrest of the two thieves,Thomas
Hall and Edwin Veitch. on Sunday,
was a good piece of detective work on
the part of the South Norwalk police.
'10 Chief Vollmer belongs the lion’s
share of the credit for their arrest, for
he it was that gained the first clue to
the guilty parties, but oflicers Glad-
stone and Conley are also deserving of
great praise for the valuable assistance
they rendered their Chief in the suc-
cessful carrying out of his well laid
plans. ‘

For some months peg-South Nor-
walk has been terrorized by burglaries
that have been going on in the stores
of that city, and long and loud have
been the complaints against the police
department. These croakers have not
stepped at fault finding but have ac-
cused the police of all sorts of short.
comings and neglect of duty, some go-
ing so far as to suggest that a change
be made in the force from the Chief
down to the lowest patrolman. That
these accusations and grumbliugs were
without foundation the GAZETTE had
every reason to believe, and the arrest
Of Hall and Veitch and their subse-
quent confessions of guilt, should. set
at rest all complaints of the citizens of
South Norwalk against the inactivity.
of their police, for they not only have
a shrewdiand competent Chief, but his
assistants, we believe, are the peers of
any policemen in the state.

Norwalk Burned July 11, 1779.

To-day being the anniversary of the
battle and burning, in 1779, of the
town of Norwalk. reminds that we
have not,- throughout our borders, a
single set-up memorial mark or monu-
ment of that locally and historically
celebrated event. Maj.-Generals Tryon
‘ and Garth. of» the British army, were
not the sole herOes of that occasion-
Here at “The Bridge,” and upon or
near “The Green,” Tryon spent several
hours in dislodging our little band of
Norwalk patriots. It speaks volumes
' in praise of Norwalk bravery, that so
far as is actually known, not more than
three or four of ourmen were slain or
wounded during the engagement, from
10 to 12 o’clock, in the rear of the old
Eliphalet Lockwood house, (now the
home of W. B. E. Lockwood, Esq.,)
while Tryon’ssummed uplossamounted
to a score or more killed and nearly one
hundred wounded. Tradition points to
the peaceful spOt on the east side of
upper France street, where sleep four
or five of King George’s soldiers, but
John Rich’s tomb, and the grave. of the
first son_of the soil to yield his life, a
little to the east of the late Eli B. Ben-
nett’s home, are unmarked. “Ere this,”
wrote, years ago, one Of Norwalk’s
genuine sons, “ the event should have
been commemorated by the erection of
a monument to perpetuate. the names
of those who fell on that day in the de-
fence Of our town and the cause of li-
berty.”

The Nation has taken care. of the
fame of Generals Parson and Wolcott ;
the town should see that Captains Rich-
ards and Betts are unlorgotten. The
latter’s sepulchre, close by that of his
old slave, and five or six miles from
this town, was visited a few weeks since,
and not found in a condition deserving
of 'its worthy occupant. The future

 

 

Norwalk Historical Society will have a
rich field wherein to labor. '

Mrs. Knapp Stoned.

Ofiicer J uue was called to the corner
Of East avenue and the Westport road
on Monday, on complaint of Mrs. Fred
Knapp, who alleged that Annie Brown,
a domestic in the employ Of Mr._ E. S.
Adams, had first stoned her chickens
and then hurled a stone at her. To a
GAZETTE representative Mrs. Knapp
stated that she had lived at her present
home for five years and had never yet
called upon one of her neighbors, and
that she was a hard-working peaceable
woman and if her neighbors would let
her alone she would be all right. Mrs.
Knapp also told the reporter that she
had said nothing to the colored girl to
cause her to throw the stone. An eye
witness to the affair put a different
1i ht on the fracas, stating that Mrs.

napp had called the girl all sorts of
vile pames, and that a row at the Knapp
house was of common occurrence. The
GAZETTE representative Was also in-
formed that numerous complaints had
been made of the goings on at the
Knap‘p’s, and if half of what is report-
ed about the place be true the residents
‘of that neighborhood would do well to
call the attention of the police to the
matter, to .the end that an investigation
be made. Mrs. Knapp refused .to swear
out a warrant against the colored girl
and no arrests were made. .

It is reported that Mr. and Mrs.
Knapp had a misunderstanding at an
early hour this morning and that-Mrs.

. 'An Unknown Man Killed at South

Norwalk.
His identity Unknown.

'Another victim was added Monday
night to the long list of poor fellows

' who have met their death by the cars,
at South Norwalk. About 10:30 o’clock _

as the “switcher" engine was switching
some freight cars just below the Con-
solidated road depot, a man who ap-
peared to be under the influence of
liquor, was seen on the track on to
which the freight cars were to be
switched. “Billy” Brown and another
brakeman on top of the freight car
yelled at him and tried to attract his

attention, but if he heard them he was .

too bewildered to move. The rear car
struck him and knocked him down, and
the wheels passed over one of his legs
and feet. The train was stopped and
the man was picked up and taken into
the baggage room of the depot where
he expired in a very few minutes. No
one seemed to know who he was
and j at this writing his identity is
still unknown, although it is thought
that he may be from the Soldiers’
Home at Noroton. The man ap-
peared to be about 55 years of a e, 5
feet 7 inches tall, and weighed 9. out
150 pounds, had hazel eyes, full heard
of gray and black, hair also mixed
with gray, was partially bald, and
wore a soft felt hat. He had lost two
of his upper teeth on the left side. He
was dressed in a black cheviot coat and
vest, mixed gray outer shirt and gray
mixed underwear, and both outer and
under shirt were marked “Mc E. W.”
with the figure 2 under the letters. His
drawers were marked “G. L. E.” with
the figure 3 under the letters. He also
wore brown mixed socks and heavy
brogan shoes. On the body was found
a polka dot, red bandana, and white
handkerchiefs, with red and blue bor-
ders, one pencil, a white bone comb,
a plug of tobacco, and a postage stamp
book on the cover of which was written
the numbers 956, 771, and 037. The
body was taken to Gregory’s undertak-
ing rooms where it now lies, awaiting
identification.

Medical Examiner Burke telephoned

to the Soldiers’ Home this morning to
see if the man came from that institu-
tion, and an officer of the home was to
have come up on the 11.44 train, but
for some reason he did not appear, It
is probable that he will arrive later in
the day.

Owen and Anthony.

Saturday Owen Rice and Anthony
Ryuon were released from jail. On re-

celebrate their liberty by filling up, on
Bridgeport whiskey.

Just before midnight they entered a
saloon and proceeded to clean out the
place. They smashed several glasses
and were enjoying themselves hugely
when two ofiicers entered the place and
placed the pair under arrest. They
fought desperately,but a free use of the
policemen’s clubs persuaded them to
accompany the oflicers to the station.

In the city court they each pleaded
guilty to the charge of drunkennessbut
not guilty to the charges of breach of
peace, injury to property and resist-
ance. After hearing the testimony,
Judge Kane fined Ryan 34 and costs
and gave him 30 days in jail. Rice got
$4 and costs and 50 days in jail.

isting bet-ween the cities of Leon and
Granada. Having been formerly senator
from Leon people in Granada. regarded
him as more friendly to that city than to
Granada after his election to the presi-
dency. l-Ie denies, however, that there
was deliberate revolution based upon
usurpation of power on his part or dissat.
isfaction with his policy.

The part which he took in the revolu—
tion, he says, was taken merely for preser-
vation of good government. Hegives great
credit to Minister Baker, of the United
States. “I am still constitutional presi-
dent of Nicaragua,” said he, “and have
left the chair only for the time occupied by
this visit, which will consume about five
months.”

TO DEMAND__A__REHEARING.

Dr. Burtscll \Vill Appeal to Rome for
His Old Parish.

NEW YORK, July 1L—It is understood in
well informed Catholic circles that Arch-
bishop COi'rigan’s refusal to restore Dr.
Burtsell to his old parish at the request of
Delegate Satolli will result in a demand
for a reopening of the case at the Roman
propaganda. Dr. Burtsell is confident of
success, but many are of a contrary opin-
Dr. Burtscll' was tried and con-
demned on charges springing from the
McGlynn troubles.

Dr. Burtseli hopes to convince the
judges in propaganda that these charges
have no foundation in law, because they
depended on the removal of Dr. McGlynn
from his parish without formal trial. Dr.
McGlynn was condemned without a hear~
ing, which is against the law of the
church, and was excommunicated without
a proper trial, to which he was entitled.
The ban put upon his Cooper Union lec-
tures depended for its force upon the legal-
ity of removal and excommunication. But
as these were illegal all consequent acts of
the authorities, dependent on them, were
illegal.

If this reasoning prevails at Rome not
only will Dr. Burtsell get back his parish,
but Dr. McGlynn will also return to St.
Stephens’. Archbishop Corrigan is said to
have no apprehension of these reverses.

Dr. McGlynn attended mass last Sun-
day, instead Of officiating. It is not known
if the bishop of Brooklyn refused him per-
mission to say mass in public, but as this
is within a bishop’s powers it is likely he
did. Dr. McGlynn cannot get permission
to say mass in public in any diocese of
New York or New Jersey.

 

 
 

 

Fearful Bavages of Yellow Fever.

PHILADELPHIA, July 11,—Captain Hol-
land, the only survivor of a crew of eight
of the brig Odorilla, the others dying of
yellow fever, says the misery and suffer-
ing from yellow fever at Santas are heart-
rending. Thousands have died. While
he lay there the death rate daily averaged
310. The patients died more rapidly than
ther bodies could be buried. Hundreds of
corpses were afloat in the river in all
stages Of decomposition. When Captain
Holland 'sailed, A ril 22, the fever was on
the increase. He elieves the places will
be depopulated in a short time.

Sherman on the “Sherman Law.”

WORCESTER, Mass, July 11.—In a long
letter to Congressman Walker Senator
Sherman explains at length that the
“Sherman silver purchase act” was passed
to prevent free coinage of silver, and says:
“The silver we purchased is not worth as
much as we paid for it, but this loss is in-
significant compared to our gain by the
defeat of the free coinage of silver.’ ’

A good story is told about a gentle;
man who lives in Brooklyn and crosses
at. Fulton ferry nearly every day. He is
much persecuted by the bore who al-
ways accosts you on a ferryboat-in mid-
stream with the stereotyped question,
“Ah! are you going across?”

The other day one of these demons
hooked on to the Brooklyn man asusual ‘
and said: “Hello, old man! Going to
York?”

“N o, sir,” he replied promptly.
am going to hit you on the nose.”

And he ..d amid the cheers of the
crowd—Texas Siftings. .

La Duse’s Portrait.

A photograph of Eleanora Duse ‘now

on exhibition attracts constant attenr 5

tion. The picture is far removed both
in expressiOn and costume from the or-
dinary actress. The hair, guiltless of
curl or hang, looks decidedly “tousled,”
a straight- disheveled lock straying
across the forehead. The face is neither
young nor beautiful and is inefiably
sad. The dark, melancholy eyes look
wearily away from the beholder. Mme.
Duse wears a high black gown without
ornament—Philadelphia Press.

An Expression For Slowness.

A Washington youngster has suCéed—
ed in adding to .. the already numerous
phrases that are used to emphasize an
impression of slowness. He was waiting
for his sister to finish something on
which she was engaged. After a time
his patience was exhausted, and be ex-
claimed: _

“Won’t you please hurry up? Yo
are slower than a snail with the rheuma-
tism.”-—-Washington Star.

Confirmed bachelors will do well to
read Dr. Benjamin Bush’s definition of
life without a wife, written not long be-
fore his death. “Celiba-cy,” he said, “is
a pleasant breakfast, a tolerable dinner,
but a very bad supper.”

__'___.._—_
There is a fire in a tenement. The ex-
cited crowd throw the crockery and
glassware out of the window from the
fourth story; the mattresses are brought
doWn to the ground floor in their arms.

The most curious book in the world
was neither written nor printed. The
'letters in its pages were out from blue
tissue paper, which was afterward past-
ed on cardboard.

Correspondence‘holds a double power, '
inasmuch as the pen that can comfort
and cheer and elevate may become the
weapon that, wounds and destroys.
