A When the present financial depresgion is over the old scale of rates will be re? sumed, but for'the present the GAZETTE hopes to be of some assistance to those compelled to seek new situations. A Sensible Bill. The resolution which has beenintro- - duced intofthe Senate by Mr. Voorhees allOwingbanks to issue bills to the full limit of theirbonds, is eminently wise, safe and timely. It is said to be ap- proved by Secretary Carlisle, as, it will be by every sensible business man throughout the. country. Indeed it is a bill that ought to have paSsed years ago. The permit to the National banks ; to issue their notes to the full par value of their United States bonds as sccdrity for their circulation, is a measure in the true interest of good banking. There can be no better security as these bonds are invariably maintained .3 at. a premium in-the money markets of the World. On the passage of the bill some twenty millions of currency will be released; not a large sum, but still enough to sensibly relieve the money stringency in a time like the present. All praise to ‘ Senator. Voorhees, his timely resolution ought to pass at once withoutobjeotionfrom any quarter. ~ Behring Sea Decision. The Behring’deeision, an outline of ' which was given in the GAZETTE’S dis- patch from Paris yesterday, is more fully detailed in- our telegraphic col-_ umns to-day. Practically the United States and its lessee, the fur company, get all they had a right to ask. We claimedthat Russia, prior to selling Alaska to us, had'-:3iexercised exclusive jurisdiction in" Behring sea, which was true. The tribunal has decided against us on this point. The tribunal likewise decided that we had no “ right jof‘ pro- tection or property in the fur seals freé quenting the islands of the United States in Behring Sea when such seals are found outside the ordinary three- ' mile "limit.” All such seals are deemed to be wild animals and governed byiné ternational laws relating to- such. 13.3The vital point Our diplomatic "agents really wanted to secure, was the judgment of an international tribunal that Great Britain and the United States should enter into a joint arrangement not to kill seals during-the breeding season'or with fire-arms, which has been gained. Sothat the object so earnestly sOu-ght by Mr. Blaine has been gained and all that was really expected has been se- cured. It only remains for 33the two countries to carry outthesepifoyisions.

It is simply'a than the starvation of business for-the Want Of money, when ‘money is more abundant than it has been at any time .during the last decade. .3 :This starvation of business for want of money when money is abundant, has occurred solely by the impairment‘of public and private credit resulting in the general destruction of public and private confidence. Three classes have systematically contributed to produce this unfortunate condition. They are -—'First, the partisan calamity howlers‘, Who have done incalculable harm alike to the business 'of the country and to the political party that must be res- ponsible fortheir' acts. Second, the senseless’cowards who withdraw their. money from circulation and lock it up in boxes, instead of permitting it to cir- culate in the— legitimate channels of business. Third, the gamblers who are ever ready to play upon the fears of the cowardly and the weakness of’ calamity prattlers, and destroy values by stampeding money holders. These have all done their work to the utter- most.- but the skies are brightening and their vocation will soon be ended. If there are any who want a premium for ctrrrency now locked out of circu- lation, they should get it at once, for everything points to’ a steady and rapid increase of. the ciaculating medium from day to day. Before the close of the present week there is every proba- bility that money will command no premium at all: Fully $20,000,000 of~ new. gold have been brought to our. shores from fOreign lands'and thrown into the business channels of the coun- try, and our national bank circulation 0.00 a day. Before the close of the pre’sent‘month there will be fully 350,- 000,000 .added to our' circulating me- dium, fand when money shall become reasonably abundant, in spite Of those who are hoarding it, they will all then tumble 'out their money freely and a money feast will be likely to follow a *mpney fast. - , ' ' That confidence has been largely res- tored during the last week because of the admitted general solvency of .the country, and also. because of the ra- pidly enlarged circulating medium, is admitted and felt by all, and public and private trust is again rapidly dif- fusing itself throughout all the chan- nels of industry and trade. Just as confidence shall be restored. money will be‘ multiplied, and with thereturn of general confidence there will be greater abundance of money than we have had anytime during the last ten years. Business is growing better, and the time is close at hand when the Country will be safely back in its nor- mal condition of general business pros- perity.” ' ’ Obituary. . , .

About 150 employee of the Bridge- port Plush company who have been working nights, have struck for an advance of forty centsa night in wages. Superintendent Pearson considered the demands of the men, and as a result shut down the factory nights, all of the strikers, who were weavers, being thrown out of work. The factory has been running night and day. ‘ And Harvey Laughed. James Betts’ family are spending a few weeks in Wilton. Young Harvey Betts, who finds time dragging slowly in that staid country town, sought ex- citement in trapping woodchucks, and has been successful in securing the pelts of several of those animals. Tuesday morning, on gomg to his traps he found a “bird of another flavor.” N ot‘being of a selfish disposition he in- vited a number of ladies and gentle- men to come and see the strange ani- mal. The rankest kind of an odor greeted their nostrils as they neared the trap. and on one of the gentlemen remarking “ It smells like a pole-cat,” the whole party scampered back to the house, and young Harvey sat down on a rock and laughed long and-heartily. ' + . it May Be Murder. A serious stabbing afi'ray, which will probably result in the. death of John Palmero, an Italian, occurred in Maloy’s Lane, Bridgeport Tuesday night. Pal- mero aud- Luciano Barri were passing down the .3 street, when Palmero asked his companion for a match. He refused and a quarrel followed, during which Barry drew a stiletto and stabbed Pal- mero seven times. Most of the cuts were about the arms and shoulders, but there was one serious cut in the left side between the ribsihvhich thephysi- cians think penetrated to the lungs. After the stabbing Barri hurried to his home pursued by officers. «His wife held- the door and prevented the officers from entering while he ran out the back door and jumped the fence, mak- ing his escape. Palmero’s condition is critical. —~————_ ——c—o~ Delayed Railroad Trains. A new law in relation to delayed rail- road trains and to bulletins concerning the same provides that the railroad commissioners shall, whenever request- ' ed by twenty legal voters residing with. in two miles of any railroad station or any railroad in this state, or by the mayor of the city, the first selectmen of the town, or‘ the warden oi the borough .in which said station is locat- ed, issue an order commanding the railroad company owning such stations to bulletin the arrival and departure of all trains over ten minutes late, togeth- er with a statement of the cause of, the delay of said trains. - . ' The penalty for failure or refusal to comply with the order on the part of the railroad company is a forfeit of $50 for each day of neglect. The select- men of various Connecticut towns are to take action on the matter. -—-—-<+- The Royal Arcanum. A meeting of the new lodge Royal Arcanum, was held Tuesday evening, at O. U. A. M. hall, a. number of the Grand Officers being present. The Council adopted the title of Ponassus, thereby setting a commendable exam- ple of resuscitating, to some extent, this ancient plantation’s primitive n0a menclature. . 3 - ' The city of Bridgeport preserves its Indian “Golden Hill,” Norwich its “Uncas,” New'London its “ Pequot,” and Danbury its3 “Pahquioque” desig- nations, and it might not have been un- pardonable had Norwalk retained for West avenue, lower Main street and the Wilson road the fine old appelative “ Ponassus” avenue. terminating the same where it is probable the father’s “_Ponassus path ” terminated, in the hunting haunts of Naramake at Bel. den’s point, and close by the presum- able sleeping place of that celebrated chieftain. Such. an avenue, diversified with its “Mahrackemo” house and .“Pe- menante” plaza, and ‘.‘Owenoke” place. and bisected With streets named for the Norwalk founders, would be a sort of living portraiture of our by no means to be despised past aboriginal and English history. We append the Nor- walk Ponassus Council’s argument. Ponas-sus is the derivation of Ponus. Ponus wasa Mohawk Sachem, and a brother 'of Wascussue, Sagamo‘r‘e of the 'Rippowams at Stamford. With his sons, the powerful chieftains Cwenoke, Taphance, Onox and Powaha‘g, the lat- ter of whom was his idol, he lived on one of our ancientridges, and enjoyed high local reputation. He had. passed away just before the founding of Nor- walk, but his name was held in such regard that one of Norwalk’s oldest “ways” was called for him, viz.: Panas- sus Path, which, Winding to the west of NorWalk river and following the gene,- ral direction of our3present-West ave.- nue, conducted, it is: possible, to. the city of Naramake, the home of a bro- ther chieftan of Bonus, at what is now known as Wil'son» Point. . ~ : t'tI’OnaJSus’? i333 an3histOric-‘p'atrOuiinic - andr’fperpetuates the“ memory ofga red- ".‘.1"“,’3. .: - Z; d!

In his application to the Jud 9, Mr. Wadhams claimed that the who e proceeding was with malicious intent to injure his business; and he also made a further claim that his prop- erty was being damaged by those who had charge of it.

Hanford, the florist, is 'all right this morning, but those who saw him seated in a wagon on Wall street about 7 o’clock, last evening,hardl ex- pected that he would be. At the a ove mentioned time Mr. Hanford drove out of Isaacs place just as a tramway ‘car came along. His horse commenced to back and he gave him a cut with the whip, whereupon the animal started upon a mad run through Wall street, letting his heels fly at every jump. Mr. Hanford pluckily held on to the lines until when in front of Wardwell’s mar- ket the wagon caught in the car tracks and the driver was buried into the street. A large crowd had by this time congre- gated and they ranvto Hanford’s assist- ance fully expecting to find him either dead or suffering serious injury. Re- markably, enough he escaped with only a slight contusion on one of his knees. The horse continued on to Brook street and to Austiii’s foundry where he was stopped by a colored man named Stokes. As the runaway turned into Brook street from Wall, the wagon was completely Overturned. Stokes led the horse and wagonnp to Gregory’s stable where the horse again attempted to get away, and did some pretty lively kick- ing: He was finally unhitched and talk- en into the horse car stables. The only damage to the wagon was a splintered dash caused by the horsle’s he'el's. The damage to the har’p’éss was nominal. A lady bicyclist had a narrow escape from being run downby the horse on- Wall street and indeed she would have been had she not cOoly turned her bicycle in toward the sidewalk and‘hastily dis- mounted. ‘: -.
