The, Gulf Coast, Catastrophe.
The later details (concerning the rav-
ages of the Gulf storm swell the list of
dead from 250 as at first reported to”
ten times that number, demonstrating
it to have been the most fatal storm
that ever ravaged any portion of the
United States. The list of dead prom-
ises to exceed that of the J chnstown
flood, and the recent Atlantic coast
storm, which destroyed so many lives
in the South Carolina sea. islands, pales.

Yacht Race No. 2.
The Yankee sloop Vigilant and Brit-
ish cutter Valkyrie are sailing their
second race to-day. The first race was
not an entirely satisfactory test of the
relative merits of the two smart craft.
The Vigilant‘won Saturday by five min-
utes and forty-eight seconds, corrected
time, and best of all, honorably won
by fair and square sailing conduct. To-
day the yachts sail a ten mile triangle,
and all are hoping for a good, strong
breeze, to better test their respective
sea - sailing qualities. The Vigilant’s
backers are more than confident, and
the Valkyrie people are entirely hope:
ful. Old Probabilities predicts for the
America cup contestants a fresh breeze
from the south, .veering to south-west,
and then to the west, with a velocity of
between twelve and twenty miles an
hour.
A Norwalk School-Boy Artist.
A Norwalk school lad of only fifteen
years ago, William O. Partridge, was
the young designer of the bronze
Statue of Alexander Hamilton which
was dedicated, on Wednesday last, in
Brooklyn. -
Alexander Hamilton’s distinguished
daughter-in-law was sister of the grand-
daughter of 9. Norwalk boy who was
born and brought up in the meadow
now the site of the Bailey, Baxter,
Wood, Comsto’ck, Hubbell and Burritt
homes, which boy’s father is interred
in a quiet part of St. Paul’s church-
yard, while his own remains lie be-
neath the Branford church chancel.
Of Gov. John Cornelius Vanden Hue-
val’s daughters, one, Maria Elizabeth,
married Hon. John C. Hamilton, anoth-
er, Susan Augusta, married Thomas
Gibbs, the father of the late Mrs. John
J acob Astor, and the third was the an-
cestress of the blood relatives of sever-
al of the Norwalk Gregorys and the
New Haven Ingersolls.
The Scarlet Woods.
These are ideal days of the dying
summer time. October is a wonder-
working month. The fields and forests
are already ablaze with scarlet, russet,
golden and amber tints. The seasons
of effluent spring and mid-summer
flowers are gone, but the fields and
wild-woods are rich in floral beauty.
These days of sunshine atone for the
silly even-tide. When was seen and
enjoyed a more perfect ideal autumn
Sabbath than beamed upon us all yes-
terday. The sun was genial and inspir-
ing without being oppressive, and shone
in tempered glory from an emerald—
tinted sky, flecked with shiftingawefts
of cloud, as gorgeous as if shorn from
the fabled fleece of gold. Yet all these
ripe and radiant glories of autumn come
tinged with saddening thoughts of a
dying year and the chilling frosts of
coming winter. These bright signets
of russet and red on tree and bush bear
the lesson to those whose human lives
are far spent, that the night soon com-
eth when the curtain falls and earth is
no more—«Then what?

New York’s Two Conventions-
The New York Democratic and Re-
publican State conventions completed
their work last week and both parties
now have their respective tickets in the
field. They are of the regulation par-
tisan order and under ordinary circum-
stances the democratic ticket would be
elected. The most notable plank in its
platform is its endorsement ofPresi-
dent Cleveland’s administration and
pledge of support in “all democratic
measures.” This somewhat equivocal
utterance shows that Senator Hill did
not dare go into the contest this fall as
an opponent of the administration.
Thomas C. Platt dominated the re-
publican conventibn at Syracuse as
completely as Hill did the democratic
convention at Saratoga, and ticket and
platform are. probably both of his in-
spiration._ He made good selections in
his nominations. In framing his plat?
form he realized that his party was out
and the democrats in. The democrats
will no doubt carry the state as the
contest is to be fought wholly on state
issues.

French fleet practically invested the
capital, Bangkok, and a military force
took-possession of a. valuable island,
defeating the Siamese garrison with
heavy loss. Ten days afterward the
leading Bangkok . newspaper an-
nounced:
“We are informed that several
French warships have been seen in the
neighborhood, and that on account of
the unhealthfulness of Blanketty‘
Blank island it is feared that none of
the troops stationed there will ever re-
turn with their lives.” “
Such a country ought to be gobbled

Mourning Etiquette in England.
In England the period of mourning
for a. father-in-law is twelve months—
ten months black, two months half
mourning. Grape is seldom worn, al-
though the crape period was formerly
six months. For a parent the period
is the same as above.
period for a brother is six months—
flve months black, one month half
mOurning. The crape period was for-
merly three months. It is now almost
' discarded. The shortest period is four
months black, no‘ half mourning. The
period of mourning for a father-in-law
is often shortened to six months when
relatives reside at a considerable dis-
tance from each other. -

ll SERIOUS FIRE.
Martin Bates Jr. &Co.’s Fur Fac-
tory at South Norwalk En-
tirely Destroyed.
/
One Hundred Hands Thrown Out
of Work. -
About half-past nine o’clock Satur-
day night the family of Peter Shields
living on Hamilton avenue, discovered
fire in the large fur factory of Martin
Bates Jr. & Co. , on Spring street, South
Norwalk. Messengers were, at once
dispatched to the residence of Mr.
Frank Smith, the superintendent of the
firm, and to the electric light station,
where an-alarm was sent in from box
32. Mr. Smith and his brother reached
the factory before the fire department
and finding the fire confined to the
“grinding room” at once turned the
factory hose upon the flames. Assist-
ance arriving the safe was removed
from the burning building and all
papers of value in the office were so-
cured. As soon as the fire department
arrived a stream of water was turned
on from the rear and another run up to
the second story from the front, but as
soon as the water was turned on from
the hydrant one of the couplings on
the latter ,line of hose parted, not hav-
ing been properly coupled, allowmg
the hose to fall to the ground, and be-
fore it was secured and coupled the fire
had gained such headway that it was
beyond the control of the firemen.
The heat from the burning building
was intense and drove the firemen from
their work several times. The old Volk
hat factory on the opposite side of the
road caught fire and was partially con-
sumed and will prove a total loss as
there was no insurance carried upon it.
Sparks flew in all directions and some
were carried by the light wind as far
as South Main street, but did no dam-
age. The heat finally set the railroad
bridge on fire and trains on the Con-
solidated were stopped and delayed
some time. Mayor Lockwood was
promptly on hand and when it was
found that the department was unable
to cope with the flames a telephone
message was sent to Norwalk for Phoe-
nix engine, but as the suction pipe was
disabled the steamer was not sent and
the hose carriage and Hope hose only
responded. When the Norwalk boys
arrived they were set to work, as were
the Vigilant and Mayflower boys of East
Norwalk, who had also responded, but
owing to the lack of water pressure not
much execution was done notwithstand-
ing the boys worked with‘a will.
The fire having swept over the entire
structure nothing could be done to
save the building and the firemen
worked to save the adjoining property
and succeeded in saving everything ex-
cept the old Volk factory.
The fur shop was totally destroyed
and the only thing left standing to-day
is the tall chimney and the acid house
in the rear. The engine was badly
heated, but from all appearances the
boiler has not been damaged and is as
good as ever.
The building contained forty ma-
chines eighteen of which were English
machines used for cutting the skin
from the fur, and were very valuable.
There were ,also 300,000 skins in bales
in the building which will also prove a
loss. Superintendent Smith estimates
the loss at between $80,000 and $100,-
000,which is fully covered by insurance.
The company has a good stock of raw
material on hand in New York and the
new factory at Silver Mine is working
full time so that they hope to be able
to supply the trade while the factory is
being rebuilt, which Mr. E. A. Wood-
ward, the owner, has offered to do at
once. The loss on the building is esti-
mated to be about $15,000 with an in-
surance of $5,000.
The fire at this time of year is a seri-
ous matter with the hundred employes,
who were thrown out of work just as
winter approaches. .
As the N orwalk firemen were return-
ing home with the hose carriages at-
tached to the South Norwalk supply
wagon, and in coming down a hill both
carriages collided with the wagon and
the tongues of both were snapped in
two.
The origin of the fire is unknown
and it is thought to have been incen-
diary, as there was no fire in the build-
ing near where the flames were first
discovered.

The Danbury Fair.
The big fair is over. It was a success
as usual. The total attendance foots up
to 52,000. This exceeds by some thou-
sands the famous Wcstchester county
(New York) fair, which is run by such
men as Oliver Sumner Teall, successor
of Ward McAllister in New York. The
White Plains fair (for the Westchester
county fair is held at that place) is con-
sider'ed‘by many to be the biggest thing
of. the kind in the east. The Danbury
fair, however, this year eclipsed it.
The managers of the fair will next
year make an endeavor to do away with
the thousand and one minor gambling
games and will prevent, if such a thing
is possible, the sale of intoxicating liq—
uors on the grounds.

Word was received Sunday stating
that Rev. Father Quan of Webster,
Mass, who is well known all over Con-
necticut, died Saturday afternoon at a
hospital in Boston, where he went last
week to undergo a dangerous opera-
tion. Rev. Quan was pastor of the
Catholic church at Webster for a period
of forty years.
Two men, apparently tramps, were '
struck and instantly killed at 4:45 on
Saturday afternoon at Milford, by fast
express train No. 65, Conductor Hardy,
bound from New Haven to New York.
The train was going at full speed. Cor-
oner Mix was notified. Unless the bod-
ies are claimed soon they will be sent
{0 Yale medical school under the new
aw.
Dr. J. Edward Lee, recently acquit-
ted of the charge of murdering Mag—
gie Schloss of 'Ansonia, made a formal
demand on Chief of Police Smith of
New Haven to turn over the photo-
graphs of himself, which were taken
and placed in the rogues’ gallery.
After a long consultation with Corpora-
tion Counsel Driscoll the chief deliver-
ed the pictures.

The C‘hlu e‘se‘ Tea Tr'a'dc.
Alarmed by the rapid extension of
the use of Indian teas in Europe and
the consequent decline of the demand
for the Chinese leaf, the Pekin authori-
ties have just issued a proclamation
against the manufacture of what is
significantly styled in the document as
“lie” tea. The proclamation points
out that this scandalous practice has
contributed more than anything else
to bring about the wane of the Chinese
tea. trade, and it declares that the au-
thorities are determined to put a stop
'to it. People are warned not to make
any tea excepting of the genuine tea
leaves, and if any person is discovered
infringing this order he will be pun-
ished by transportation for life—a pen-
alty which will be extended also to the
seller and to the buyer, as well as to
all others who have taken any part in
the placing of adulterated tea upon
the market. .
A Rotor-mam Example.
There is a. story of abenevolent gen-
tleman who visited a certain reforma-
tory institution near Boston, and while
going over the place engaged one and
another of the inmates in conversa-
tion. The geod man was quite un-
mindful of the fact, known to all who
have seen much of that phase of life,
that people in such places do notenjoy

Vigilant Not Vain Over the
First Victory.
To-Day’s Contest ‘W ill Equal That of
Saturday if the Wind is Suficiently
Strong—Confidence in Viiflarnt But.
Valkyrie May Win Yet. i l
NEW YORK, Oct. 9T—To-day the Vigi-
l'ant and Valkyrie will battle on the seas
once more for the possession of the
America’s cup. The Englishmen were not
unduly cast down by their defeat on Sat~
urday, nor were the. Americans unduly
elated at the result of the race.‘ Yachts
and crews are in good condition, and thou-
sands who will go down to see the race
today will probably see a good one.
The course will‘be a triangular one, and
such a course is especially adapted to bring
out the qualities of a yacht. There will
be ten miles of running, ten miles of reach-
ing and ten miles of windward work. The
start will be at the Sandy Hook lightship
and all the sailing will be on the. open sea.
If it is foggy or there is no wind the re-
gatta committee of the New York yacht
club has it‘ in its discretion to postpone
the race. .
In looking over the race of Saturday and
analyzing it, it is seen that the gain of 30
seconds that the Valkyrie made in the
close reach going home was more appar-
ent than real, for the Vigilant, in stand-
ing so far toward the Jersey shore, look-
ing for the wind, sailed a longer course
than the Valkyrie, and by so doing proba-
bly lost fully: .30 seconds which the Valky-
rie gained in the official time.
Martin Lyons, the pilot of the Valkyrie,
is not at all cast down by the result of
Saturday’s race.“ He says that he honestly
believes the Valkyrie the faster boat, and
can win the cup. _
Mr. Watson, designer of the Valkyrie,
' does not consider the race of Saturday
any test of the relative merits of the two
vessels any more than Thursday’s .at-
tempted race. _
Mr. Herresholf thought that the Vigi-
lant had certainly shown herself superior
to the Valkyrie in light winds. '
