«Danger in a Remedy. "
It-is frequently the case that physi-
severe than the disease, and there is
some danger that the doctors who are
essaying the treatment of the train-
robhing epidemic may make this mis-
take. Undoubtedly it is desirable to
by exposing the lives of all patrons of
take kindly to the proposition.
Several of the large railway corpora-
that all of their trainmen and station
agents'are to be provided. with revol-
vers and Winchesters. The express
their messengers will be heavily armed,
and they will also be expected to shoot
every time an effort is made to hold up
their trains. Not only will these men
be pressed into service, but the Pull-
man’ conductors and porters are to be
transformed into walking arsenals and
are to be added to the force that is ex-
pected to convince some of our grasp-
ing and reckless Western friends that
train-robbing is a drooping industry.
The great danger attending this pro-
posed reform lies in the fact that there
marksman is going to land. As a rule,
the gentlemen who make a profession
of financiering on a smooth-bore basis
are very good shots and don’t waste
much powder and lead during their
business hours. There is no assurance
tacked will be able to maintain dis-
cipline, and in an indiscriminate shoot-
ing match the probabilities are that the
innocent passenger would get much
the worst of it.
But train robberies are not the only
incidents that would precipitate trouble
should this'ébfi'eral armament Of_rail-
way employees go into effect. There
would be a constant gauntlet for the
traveler to run. There would be the
didn’t-know. it-was-loaded station agent,
the blow-down-the-muzzle-just-for -fun
conductor, the point-it-at-your- head
joke on the part of the brakeman, and
other like pleasantries too numerous to
mention. In the early hours of the
morning, after the Pullman car porter
had cleaned the shoes and had engaged
himself in cleaning the Colts, Win-
chesters, and other paraphernalia Of
the car, there is no telling just when
the passengers would receive an early
call and a dose of lead all around, as a
firearm in the hands of a sleepy and
over-worked colored gentleman is a
very uncertain piece of mechanism.
For our part, says the Washington
Post, we prefer to bear the train-rob-
bing ills we have rather than fly to,
others that are more or less problem-
atical. It might do to equip the en-
gineers and express messengers, with
guns, but give us the old-fashioned sta-
tion agent who doesn’t know how to
shoot, who doesn’t know the time the
trains arrive and. depart, or anything
else he is" expected to know. Give us
the sleeping-car porter of our fore-
fathers—the colored gentleman who
carries nothing but the Old-time, single
barreledlrazor, and an air of superiori-
ty that even the most hardened train-
robber cannot batter down with im-
punity. Allow us to retain these old
landmarks and we will make so bold as
to take our chances with the train-rob-
hers.

stone of the Capitol by Washington. _
It was a ceremonial which, more per-

history, after the winning of our colo-
nial independence, typified the con~
summation of that great struggle for,
civil liberty.
The Federal Constitution had been
adopted and ratified. The wheels of
the Federal Government had been suc-
cessfully put in motion. ~ Two Con-
gresses had been held, and Washing-
ton for a second time had been elected.

the New World was an accomplished
fact. ‘
Our popular Representative, Mr. De
Forest, was in charge of our ridge-
port Coroner last week, although, we
are glad to say, in no sense needing

afternoon. Ephraim Merritt, who con-

says that when a youngster the fruit
from this tree has given him many a

What Warden Leeds Saw. .
Warden Leeds made a tour Sunday
to see for himself how much foundation
there was for the statements that the
screen law was being generally violat-
ed. . He found says the Stamford Advo-
cate, thatmany of the saloons were
completely closed from outside obser-
vation, and notified the proprietors that
they must comply with the law. The
Warden knows that liquor is sold in
some places, and one man yesterday
saucily remarked that ”it could not be
proved, anyway.” Mr. Leeds has call-
ed the attention of Prosecuting Attor-
ney Carter to the screen matter and has
given him some information that may
result in arrests and prosecutions
shortly.
The Warden says he does not feel
that it should be necessary for him to
go around to see whether the saloons
are complying with the law, and in-
timates that hereafter the police will be
expected to do it.

A Stamford Elopement.
Nathan Louden, a clerk employed at
the Star Mills,and Flora Brill of Bridge-
port, eloped on Sunday, and were mar-
ried at the Methodist parsonage, in
Port Chester. Young Leuden became
smitten with the charms Of Miss Brill,
who lived with her father in the place
known as the _“_Whitechapel,” directly
opposite the mills, at the junction of
Pacific and Canal streets. Since Mr.
Brill moved with his family to Bridge-
port, young Louden had often made
trips to that city to visit her, some-
times neglecting 'his work to do so.
Several times last week while at work,
he had hinted to his fellow employees
that he was soon to be married.
The Brill irl, it is said, had become
very much 'ssatisfied with her lot at
home since her father left Stamford,
and had said that she would run away
and get married, which threat she
finally carried out.

that came under his investigation was
that of a cow belonging toa German
named John Knorr, of Cranberry
Plains. The animal is afflicted with
tuberclosis, in other words the cow has
the consumption. . She is but a mass of
skin and bones yet the family use the

A Sudden Death.
An unknown Swede, supposed to be
tramp, died in the baggage room at the
railroad depot, Bridgeport, Monday
evening. He had come from Westport
with Constable Oscar Allen of that
place who was taking him to the hos.
pital.
The man was found Monday morning
lying in the barn Of Mrs. Maltby Allen
who lives near the Compo crossing in
Westport. His groans had kept her
awake all night. She was alone in the
house and was afraid to venture out to
ascertain the source of the sounds of
suffering. When she first saw the man
he lay on a pile of hay and. was iua
semi-unconscious condition.
She notified the constable and he im-
mediately saw that the man was very
sick. He secured from the selectmen
an order for the man’s removal to the
Bridgeport hospital and started with
him on the train due at Bridgeport at
6:07 p. in. He was'carried from the
train to the baggagefloom and the am-
bulance was sent for. Before it arrived
he was seated with a spasm and expired.
The body was removed to Bishop’s
morgue where a post mortem examina-
tion was made by Medical Examiner
Downs. Death was undoubtedly due
to cholera morbus and exposure. The
man was apparently about 40 years of
age and was five feet ten inches in
heighth. He was dressed in clothes
peculiar to Scandinavian immigrants.
- Forewarned. .
A discovery has just been made in
connection with the new 'law which
mav prevent the women from voting.
In framing the law there was no provi-
sion made for the printing of the tick-
ets for school elections, the law provid-
ing that the tickets shall be furnished
the same as under the secret ballot law.
This law provrdesthat the Secretary of
State shall furnish the paper upon
which the tickets are printed, but it
makes no provision for their printing,
this being left to the parties in interest.
'In most towns the members Of the
Board of Education are elected at the
same time as the other town Officers,
and the custom has been to place the
candidates on the same ticket with the
other town nominees. The law giving
women the right to vote at school elec-
tions does not give them the right to
vote for town Officers, hence they Would
be prevented from voting for the mem-
bers of the School Board. This would
not millitate against the men, for they
can express their choice in the old way,
and the question arises as to how the
women are to secure their tickets for
voting and what, party name they will
necessarily be compelled to adopt if
they conform to the secret ballot law.
In the absence of anyprovision on the
way the ballots shall be furnished the
women, the\only way bid: of the diffi-
culty will berfor the“ wOmen to print
their own tickets. ,_ .
In New Haven the school tickets are
the only ones in the field, hence there
is cu opportunity for every woman to
v0 e.

The Arlon Singing Society Opens
its New Hall on Madison
Street. ‘
Many Guests From Abroad.
Long before eight o’clock Monday
evening the _members and friends of
the Arion Singing Society began to
gather at the society’s new ball on
Madison street, South N orwalk, to par-
ticipate in the concert and ball with
which their new home was to be opened.
The hall was beautifully decorated and
from every corner pooped the tri-
color of Germany entwined with
“Old Glory.” The stage was aper-
'fect bower of potted plants, while-upon
the wall behind the stage appeared a
keystone upon which was inscribed :

_At one _side of the hall, entwined

was inscribed in German :
“ Who doesn’t love wife wi e d ,
W111 be left a fool his lifeloliél." mg
.While upon the other appeared a
similar tablet bearing the inscription :
“ Wherever you sing rest yourself
Bad people have no song.” ’
An orchestra of seven pieces, led by
Prof. Richard-Voegler, discoursed fine
music the entire evening.

of the programme, by all of the socie-
ties present, made the building shake

Since the announcement of the visit
to this city of Mr. Fred Soloman’s
Comic Opera Company, lovers Of Opera
have been in a state of favorable an-
ticipation, and the appearance of the
company at Musw Hall on Sept. 22 and

scenes and effects are carried by the
company, and- everythin that can be
done to make the pro uctions fully
equal to those given at the Casino is
guaranteed by the management. Mr.
Solomon’s _many visits to this city have
served to introduce him, and that he
has a host Of friends is indicated by
the demand for seats. His supporting
company includes Madge Leasing,

The Italians employed by the Con-
solidated road on the improvements at
Stratford are again dissatisfied With
the treatment they receive from the
contractors. About six weeks ago they
made a public protest through their
countryman, Justice Louis Richards of
Bridgeport. The effect Of this was to
bring temporary relief, but now they
claim affairs are as bad as ever. Al-
most all their wages are withheld for
the groceries furnished them, and they
say they are herded together in their
quarters like cattle. *
