The Cheerful N. Y. Sun.
The intensely demdcretic New York
Sun Ind in general ”ability and high.
character as a newspaper concededly
ahead of any other partisan journal in
this countrylhas this to say in refer-r
once to. the copied extract from the
speech in the lipase of Hon. J. C. Bur-
rows of Michigan. Mr. 'B. said :—
“At the close of Mr. Harrison’s ad.
ministration there was prosperity in
the nation. What has wrought the ap-
palling'phangef What was it that in
the brief space of six months has
plunged, this nation, with all its indus-
trial interests, from the summit of
prosperity and hope to the depths of
adversity'and despair f”
To which the Sun in its best vein re-- -
plies :— .
“We have no disposition to under-
rats the disturbances of confidence and
business whiche'xis’t,‘ for we believe in
looking every fact in the face, but-
when the Hon. Julius Caesar Burrows .
talks about this ‘natioh'being plunged
into theldepths of adversity and de;
'spair, he talks in the Ercles vein of a
Populist at a picnic. There has been
some adversity,- but there has been no
despair. The American people know
what hopefulness is, but they do not
know despair. _ They-,are. accustomed
to prosperity, and: they miss it, but
they expect to have it again, ' and a
good many of them have it now. It
will take more than the Sherman law
or any other law. to plunge the United
States into despair.” ‘ ,.
The Sun is right. The present hard
times have begotton no "despair.”
Banks have failed, great firms suspend-
cd, hives of industry closed their doors
by the hundreds, yet there has been a
hopefulness in the present and future,
during all this senseless panic, the far-
therest removed possible from anything
akin to despair. Now that the business
outlook brightens justalittle bit, let
us all increase our faithin God and the
Country. '

i Curiosities. , I
Among the bright “sunbeams” of our
scintilating New York journalistic lu-
minary, we clip the-following which, if
not curiosities of literature, the inci-
dents are at least so curious in them-
selves as to well repay the reading, as
follows: ,
“The French branch of the Y.M.C.-A.
at 128 West Twenty- Third street, is one
of the (many thingsin which .thepYan-
derbilts take an active interestiand bo-
casionally some male member ("if the
family drops in to look about the apart-
ments, " and, perhaps, stay to dinner.
This meal is of the table d’hote sort
and is served only to members , and
their guests. The superintendent asks
a blessing and .then‘; all sit down; The
four courses arego'od'and well cooked,
and the wine is far superior to thatch-
‘tained at any but theh'igh-class restaur-
ants. At least half the diners are Amer-
icans who have joined the branch that
they may learn French colloquially.”
A Saratoga county farmer who came
. to New York recently to buy horses re-
turned home with a violent, admiration
for the great metropolis. 7"“ I got a hall
bedroomfor $1.50. a week-and eat on 15
cents a day,’ he explained.“ ‘ I found a
saloon ; where they give lots of free
lunch. I went there mornin’, noon and
night, bought a beer each ,timer‘and,
eatiillI nigh busted.’ He is one of'
the weslthiest'men in the county?

Is there not a pointer here in the last
ers, one of whom it is stated had to
throw, last Saturday night, more
than a barrel of over ripe musk-melons
of! the dock, all of which it is believed
could have been readily sold if they
had been offered at prices ruling in
New York.
, Now Stop Croaklng.
‘ Yesterday, by a majority of 130, the
House of Representatives passed the
bill repealing the Sherman Silver-pur-
chase law, after defeating several“
amendments’for the coinage of silver
at varying ratios.
. The will of the people is still the uni-
Under
voted to repeal the compulsory pur-
chase clause of the Sherman law, by a
majority . which sweeps the silverites
clear’out of sight. Mr. Bland and his"
associates are utterly routed. They
concede that the Senate will obey the
ponding measure, and President Cleve-
land will then seal the verdict with his
signature without delay. Now let busi-
ness men, the banks, and every one
also stop. croaking, and get down to
business once more.
We have big crops with a foreign'
market for our surplus. The people
were never more generally solvent,
but the croakers are on top, and cow-
ardice kills where courage would cure.
Many banks and business establish-
ments have suspended, but not one in
will, be recording the resumption of the
suspended concerns.
Stop croaking. Business could be
revived at once if honest and well~
merited faith in the government, in
restored. Stop hoarding money; put
it into circulation by buying, deposit-
ing, lending or debt-paying.
We are, now adding a million a day
to our national bank circulation; we
are getting gold from Europe at the
rate of a million a day, and money
must soon becdme abundant again.
Stop creaking. It doesn’t pay; when-
ever the croaker shall cease to ply his
vocation, money will be plenty and
business prosperous. Stop croaking.

The Storm.
As predicted by the weather bureau
on Monday, the big storm that was
then hovering over the South Atlantic
coast reached Connecticut at an early
hour this morning. The dispatches
report 40 lives lost at‘ Savannah, Ga.,
and millions of dollars damage done in
that cit . The wind, blew a gale all
along t e coast, and as the telegraph,
wires are down the amount of devasta-
tion cannot now be learned.
The storm in Norwalk, so far, has
been comparatively docile as compared
with the storm of last week. It com-
menced to blow hard about 4' o’clock
this morning, the wind being accom-
panied by a small downpour of rain.
At this writing, 11 o’clock, the wind is
not very high, and the rain has almost
ceased. .The clouds, however, are very
threatemng. and it may be that the
full force of the storm is not yet spent.
The damage hereabouts, so far report-
ed, isas follows :
A tree on Newtown avenue was blown
down, and for a time blocked travel.
Two trees on Maple street, one in
front of editor Maples’ castle, and the
other in front of Henry Chasmer’s
house. were razed.
Conductor Williams, on the first
horse car down this morning, encoun-
tered a large maple tree which had fall-
en across the tracks nearly in front of
engineer Rider’s residence. It was one
of the row of trees along the sidewalk
of the 'Matthews place. An axe was
procured, and a way through ‘cut for
the car. ‘
Two large trees were blown down in
Rev. C. M. Selleck’s school-yard.
A boat-house belonging to S. B. Wil-
son, and located near Meeker’s coal
wharf, was blown down.

broke, and became crossed with the
trolley wire, and fell to thestreet. but
nothing animate came in contact with

CF
The damage done hereabouts is
small as compared with that of the
storm last week.
A tree in front of the George Ward
Selleck house on East avenue was
blown down, and for a short. time de-
layed the tramway cars.
A large willow tree on the Green in
front of the Baptist church was blown
down. It was the only willow tree on
the park. -

walk, or the Eagle, left port this morn-

home to supper .Monday evening, he
was, to put_ it mildly, more than sur-
prised at this last move. Without eon-

" BURGLHMWORK.
South Norwalk Again Visited by
' Thjeves. _ '
Bennett _& 'Husted the Victims.
Last ni ht about nine o’clock Henry
I. Bennet , of the firm of Bennett .l'r
Husted, marketmen at 24 North Main-
street, counted up .his cash, amounting
to $147. and placed the bills together
with two checks for small amounts, un-
der some papers in a drawer next to
the cash drawer and about—three dollars
in pennies were left in a cigar box on
top of the cashier’s desk.
This morning when _ he arrived he
found the catch to the ice box thrown
back and a bone front‘one of the steaks
left in the ice box lying upon the chop-
ping block. A further investigation re-
vealed the back door standing open.
He then went to the drawer where the
money had been left and found that
that too was missing, but the checks in
in which the” money had ,_ been rolled
were undisturbed. Pulling out the
cash drawer he discovered that the
dimes had disappeared as well as the
box of pennies left on top of the desk.
The police were at once. notified and
Chief Vollmer made an investigation,
but beyond the fact that there were
several marks of a shoe on the back
door showing where some one had
climbed up over the transom, the bur-
glar had left no other clue.
In conversation wrth'a GAZETTE rep-
resentative this morning Mr. Bennett
stated that he had been in the habit of
hiding the money in the back room of
the store, but last night as there were
"several gentlemen sitting in the room
talking and he had placed it in the
drawer instead. He is fully convinced
that some one was watching him as he
counted up and saw him place the roll
of money in the back part of the drawer,
and the fact of the burglar helping him-
self to meat is a pretty sure indication
that the burglar is a local cracksman.
The exact amount of the robbery is
not known, but Mr. Bennett places the
cash taken at about $102. together with
several steaks from the refrigerator.
It is not huown at what hour the bur-
glary was committed, but it must have
been some time between one and five
o’clock a. m. The entire police force
were on duty last night and prior to
going home Chief Vollmer instructed
the men to keep a‘sharp-lookout, as all
of the recent burglaries had taken place
on cloudy and stormy nights. _.~.
Whoever entered the store got in
over the rear transom and gained access
to the yard either from the alley lead-
ing to Solman’s stable 'or over E. A.
Woodward’s brick wall. The fact that
the habitues of Solman’s stable have
passage way from the street to the
stable may develop something later on,
but at present no clue whatever has
been left by the burglar. .

The Greatest Work of the Age.
We are in receipt of Part II of “ The
Book of the Fair.” Like the firstrpart
it is a magnificent number. The illus-
trations are beautiful, and the letter-
press could not be improved upon. The
publishers say that they are determined
to make the book as complete, perfect
and beautiful as money and labor can
accomplish, without regard to the ex-
penditure of either,‘and if the forth-
coming numbers are on a par With
those already printed, a handsome and
valuable volume will be the result. The
publishers are the Bancroft Company,

Frank Porter, 8. simple minded fel-
low of thirty years, has vanished from
his home in Bridgeport. On Saturda
evenin he left his aged mother, wit

cording to his custom. Since that time
nothing has been seen or heard of him.
After waiting several hours for his re-
turn his mother, who is eighty years of
age, called in. neighbors. Little could
be done Saturday night, but early
Monday morning several men started
out. They have searched along the
banks of the Housatonic river within a
radius of six mileS, but have not found

“Those Little Bills.”
Many men think that newspaper men
are persistent dunners. By way of com-
parison let us suppose that a farmer
raises 1,000 bushels of wheat a year,and
sells this to 1,000 persons in all parts 0
the country, a rest portion of them
saying, “I will and you a. dollar in a
short time.” The'farmer does not want
to be small and says : "All right.”
Soon the 1,000 bushels are gone, but he
has nothing to show for it, and he then
realizes that he_ has fooled away his
whole crop, audits value to him is due
him in 1,000 driblets, consequently he
is seriously embarrassed in his business,
because his debtors,each owing hlm ill,
treat it as a small matter and think lt
would ‘ not help much. Continue. this

The residents of Bell Island and the
.trainmen at Wilson Point were startled
this morning by seeing a two-masted
schooner .Wlth storm-sails blown to
shreds tryin to come around the south.
ern point 0 Smith’s Island as though
tomake a harbor, inside. The schoon-
«er came straight towards the dangerous
reef at the south-western end of the is-
land on which so many vessels have
been wrecked, and all expected to see
another added to the list, but owing to
the very high tide she passed over the
reef striking mice on her way, and at
one time was completely enveloped in a
huge wave, which caused the onlookers
to believe that she had foundered.
After passing the ledge of rocks the
schooner dragged her anchors until
nearly abreast of Tavern Island where
they caughtand held. At twelve o'clock
the schooner was observed to be slowly
setthng notw1thstanding'the efforts of
the crew to keep her afloat, indicating
that she had knocked a hole in her bot-
tom bn one of the sharp rocks that com-
pose the reef. As soon as her sinking
condition was seen Capt. A. B. St. John
of the Eva L. Ferrisgwhich is at Wilson '
Point, organized a relief ;party and
rowed out in a life boat and rescued the
crew.
The schooner, which proved to be
the Sarah Quifi‘. of Cold Springs, L. 1.,
lies about one hundred feet southwest
of Tavern Island and no doubt can be
raised after the storm subsides with
very little damage.

The other day a man called at the

represented that he had a patent pre-
paration for the repairof leaky shingle
roofs. He told Mr. Bissell that he had
used the preparation on, the roofs of
several residents in town to the entire
satisfaction of the owners and mention-
ed the names of a number of gentlemen
well known to Mr. Bissell. He was
told to go ahead and repair the roof
which he_ seemingly did and was paid
$42 for his work. Mr. Bissell shortly
after asked one of the parties whose
name had been mentioned to him by
the swmdler as to how the man’s work
suited and was surprised to learn that
he knew nothing about such a man.
Mr. Bissel's roof is in no :better repair

interest and is filled to the brim with
good, rich comedy. It went last night
with interest and snap. The title role

V NNNUNL REUNIONS.
The 17th Conn. Vols. at Newtow n,
and the 28th at Bridgeport.
Living Over Old Times.
The annual re-union of the survivors
of the gallant old Fairfleld County
Begiuient was held Monday at high and
romantic Newtown. Some ninety old
vets, with nearly as many more of their
wives, children “,and :grand - children,
formed in line at the depot, on the ar-
rival of the 10 o’clock train from Bridge:
port, and marched up_to the Town Hall,
headed by the American Band of
Bridgeport and a reception and caval-
cade of some fort horsemen. Among
the mounts was r; Charles. Johnson
on a saddled Alderneybull, its horns,
head and tail gaily decorated with flags
and red, white and blue ribbons. The
animal seemed to enjoy the music and
parade equal to the rest. It is broken
to harness. and one of -Mr. Johnson's
eccentricities is to drive his bovine
about the streets of Newtown before a
carriage. A line some half mile long
of carriages, filled with patriotic na-
tives, and country people from far
around, followed the line of march.
The hotels. houses, stores, etc., were
gaily decorated with flags and bunting,
and was a reminder of the familiar
scenes in the days when the old 17th
. left the State for the front.
As soon as seated inside the Town
Hall, comrade Merritt, President of
the Association, called on Rev. Beverly
Warner to open the session With prayer.
Then secretary Porter read the minutes
of last year’s session at Stamford.
Then ”treasurer Pat. Wade rendered his
report, and all being accepted, the an-
nual election of officers was proceeded
with, and resulted as follows: .
Comrade Seeley G. Blakeman, Presi-
dent, John H. Porter was re-elected
Secretary, as was Pat. Wade, Treasurer.

of the old-time devourers of army B.
C. hard-tack and salt junk.
A vote of thanks to the citizens and
three cheers for. the ladies who had pro-
vided so sumptuous a feast, and the
vets re-formed at 4 p. m., and marched,
back to the depot, and soon were off to
their respective homes, enlivened by
the assurance that this had been oneof
the most enjoyable of the whole series
of re-unions; in part, perhaps, because
it was the last as well as best..- A cake,
with twocrossed and bayonetted mus-
,kets deftly wrought on the frosting by
the local barber’s wife, was presented
by ex-postmaster Peck to Gen. Noble.
On the platform with comrades and
clergy, sat ex-sherifi' Sanford, support-
ed by the ubiquitous-editor of the New-
town Bee. , ». >
A pretty feature of the reception pro-
cession, was two little misses, one from
Bridgeport and the other from Oak-
land, Cal., in a diminutive cart, drawn
by a Shetland pony, the hats sud dres-
ses of the girls decorated With white
and blue ribbons, and the pony and
cart embellished with small flags. 1158
Florence Sterling, of Bridgeport, owned
the pony, and her companion was Miss
Julia Duncombe, of California. Sev-
eral residences were uniquely and gor-
geously decorated. All in all, it was an
occasion long to be remembered.

John Ro’ ‘e'rdeyer and the Sheep.
A good star is current about the
man who, w ,eshearing his sheep,
was notxcedflt‘aking the fleece in an.
awkward manner by beginning at the
rear instead of at the head, as is usually
done. When asked his motive for so
doing he said,--: “I voted the demo-
cratic ticket last fall, and I am ashamed-
to look the sheep in the face.”—Win-
sted Herald.

. Body of Bristol Fireman Found.
While passing Southport on Monday,
the tug Walsh of New York in com--
mand of Capt. Stevens, picked up a
badly decomposed body of a man. It
was towed to Bridgeport and ordered
by Coroner Doten removed to Bishop’s
morgue. The face and other parts of
the body had been eaten by the fishes
and presented a ghastly sight. Around
the waist was fastened a fireman’s belt
with the name “Bristol.”
Word was telephonedto that town
and the answer revealed the identit of
the corpse as that of_ Charles M. hao.
len, a member of Bristol Hose 00., No.
1, who had been with the confisny at
Coney Island, August 18. On the re-
turn trip on the steamer Northam,
about 1_o’clock he told his friends he
was gomg out'on deck to enjoy a
smoke. That was the last seen of him.
alive. It is supposed that while sittinfi
on the rail he lost his balance and fa
overboard and was drowned. .
The body was so badly decomposed . .
that Undertaker Bishop had it buried , “
immediately'at the Town farm. _'
