Brighter Skies. .
Brighter skies are beginning to shine
in Norwalk. The great shirt manufac-
tory expects to start up next week and
run on full time until next year, at
the least. This meansa great deal to
its hundreds of worthy operators sore-
lyin need of employment. And it
means much to our local merchants
as well.
An Organ Out of Tune.
The New York World openly de-
nounces Presrdent Cleveland for the
Van Alen incident. It says in double-
leaded editorial matter: “We are frank
to confess, however shocking it may
sound to the super-serviceable party
flunkies who seem to assume that the
president can do no wrong and must be
supported right or wrong, that if the
World had thought him capable of mak-
ing such an appointment as that of Van
Alen it would not have’shown such an
interest in his nomination and election
as it did. And we believe we express
the sentiment of tens of thousands of
Mr. Cleveland’s warmest admirers in
the late campaign. If this be treason,
make the most of it.”
The Sons of Italy.
For several years past every Septem-
ber and October it has been the custom
for thousands of Italian men, who have
been engaged in out-of-d o_or labor dur-
ing the summer, to return to their na-
tive land and there spend the winter at
ease, living upon 'the product of their
summer’s work. Although, perhaps,
given not more. than $20 a month be-
sides board, the 3100 carried home by
the average Italian laborer is quite
enough to keep him for another five
months at home in something like lux-
ury, contrasted with the farm laborers
around him working for ten cents a. day.
It has been ascertained that the Ita~
lian consuls in this country have much
to do in inducing the large immigration
of these sons of Italy to our shores
every spring. These consuls are charged
with having a pecuniary interest in the
scheme by which so many thousands of
Italian laborers are induced to come to
this country. coming, it is stated, un-
der contract. One of the features of
this contract system is that the emi-
grant, before leaving Italy, is given
not only his passage to this country,
but a. guarantee of passage back, both
to be paid for in work, and in this way
peasant families let their sons go with
the assurance that they would return
to them.
Education and Journalism.
Hon. Charles A. Dana of the “New
York Sun,” has been talking to the
Union College boys on journalism, and
in the course of his remarks criticised
the schools of journalism which have
been established in several colleges.
He says he has yet to find any graduate
who has pursued that course who was
of much use as a practical newspaper
man when he took hold of its work.
Mr. Dana inclined to regard this at—
tempt of the colleges to prepare for
journalism as a tendency “to take the
whole universe into their curriculum
and to teach things that do not exactly
belong there.” He would prefer 'he
said, “a first-class education, and if I
could have my way, every young man
-who is going to be a newspaper man,
and whovis not absolutely rebellious
against it, should learn Greek and
Latin, after the good old fashion.” He
said further that personally he would
rather take a man who knew his Tacitus
and his Horace to report a prize-fight,
than one ignorant of those classics.
The connection between Latin authors
and modern fisticufi's may not be obvi-
ous but Mr. Dana’s insistence that cul-
ture tells in any work will be generally
approved, and the view advanced is an
antidote to the abuse of specialism
which is plainly apparent in modern
educational methods. The reporter
with a college education, moreover,
whether his prize fight be better done
for that reason or not, stands more of
a. show to creep, by and by, into an edi-
torial position. Mr. Dana quoted Hor’
ace Greeley as one who doubted wheth-
er high education was of much use. in a
newspaper office, the real newspaper
man being in his opinion one'whohad
“slept on newspapers and eaten ink.”
Mr. Greeley, although intimate: with
Mr. Daflga. could not quite forgiv-esthe
latter that he hadcome up through col-
lege. Most people haven’t the Greeley
genius to overcome the loss of a good

education, and Mr. Dana’s view is un-
questionably the true one.
Mr.Dana’s idea as to the most absolute
honesty in the publication of news will
meet with hearty acceptance. He says,
“the public demand of the newspaper
is that it shall give an accurate and full
history of the actual occurrences of
the day, without distinguishing between
them because they are good or bad. It
must be a messenger of both good and
evil tidings, because it must tell the
truth as it is."
Again, Mr. Dana’s sentiments as ex-
pressed in the Sun, will meet with uni-
versal acceptance. He says, “no news-
paper is j ustified in publishing “impure
literature” because “ the people read
it. ” Such a publication is immoral. A
demand for impurity affords no excuse
for the supply of it. The business of the
receiver of stolen goods, the fence, is
not made lawful and reputable because
thieving creates a demand for it. The
newspaper, as a faithful historian, must
record the events of each day. the good
and the bad; but it is guilty of a crime
against society if it purvevs impure lit-
erature. Acting in its rightful func-
tion, the newspaper is a most powerful
agency for the prevention of crime and
impurity. The publicity it gives to of-
fenders, in the pursuit of its duty of
chronicling the occurrences of the day,
is a most efficient deterrent from crime
and vice and impurity. Wickedness is
afraid of the light of publicity which
the newspaper casts upon it.
In‘the performance of that duty,how-
ever, a newspaper is never justified in
pandering to depra ved tastes. It is not
excusable in printing scandal, simply
because the people like scandal. It is
morally culpable if it publishes “impure
literature” of any kind or for any pur-
pose.
Moreover, the people do not want im-
purity. It appeals only to a few morbid
minds. The public demand is a healthy
demand for purity and the truth.”

Criminal Superior Court.
The Superior Criminal court which
came in at Danbury Tuesday and ad-
journed to Bridgeport, reconvened
Wednesday, Judge Hammerslev of
Hartford on the bench. There were
very few spectators in the court but
the prisoners’ dock was completely
filled with comparatively young men,
many of whom are charged with seri-
ous crimes.
Thomas Garvey, who a short time
ago was found in the market of Platt &
Ritch, in Bridgeport, pleaded guilty to
burglary and received a sentence of
ten months in jail.
The following pleas were also enter-
ed : James Healy, burglary, not guilty;
Paul Fisher, forgery, guilty, not sen-
tenced; Noah Joyce, burglary, guilty,
six months; Mandley Bolden, theft,
not guilty; Patrick Blansfield, bur-
glary, not guilty ; Michael O’Calla-
ghan, illegal voting, not guilty; James
Edwards, tramp, not guilty; William
Smith, tramp, not guilty ; Thomas Mur-
phv, burglary, not guilty.
The first case to go to the jury was
that of Conrad Trinks, charged with
burglarizing the store of Peter Weber
in Bridgeport on the night of July 18.
The boy, for he is nothing more than
that, pleaded not guilty and Attorney
Joyce was assigned by the court to
defend him.

Anna Orr’s Body Found.
The body of Anna Gray Orr, the sev-
enteen-year-old daughter of Charles
Orr, who disappeared from her home
at Holland Heights, near Bridgeport,
on the night of July 29, was found
in an Old unused well in Fairfield Tues-
day afternoon by W. B. Banks, a farm
hand, who went to the well to get a
drink. .
The discovery of this body clears up
a mystery which has been the subject
of much speculation since last summer.
With the exception of the face the
remains were well preserved. The
mouth, nose and ears were somewhat
decomposed, but the body shows no
Signs of decay. The clothing the poor
girl wore on the night of her disappear-
ance still covered her body, There
were the sack of dark brown cloth,
trimmed with blue, the white skirt,
black ribbed hose. and button gaiters.
There was'no hat isible.

Matthew Steégnluller of South
Norwalk iBlows Out His
Brains.
4——
Insane When =iHeCommlt’ted the
peed. _
The family of Matthew Steegmuller,
living at 26 Burritt avenue, South N or-
walk, were startled shortly before 7
o’clock this morning by hearing a jar-
ring noise as though something heavy
had fallen upstairs. Upon making an
investigation they were horrified to
find Mr..Steegmuller lying upon the
floor in the attic room with the left side
of his face and the top of his head
blown off whilefithe ”ceiling and side
walls Were covered with blood, brains
and hair. Wordgwas instantly sent to
Medical Examiner Burke, who prompt-
ly responded, and made an examination
of the suicide and the surroundings.
Dr. Burke decided that Steegmuller
had placed the muzzle of a 12 bore
muzzle-loading shot. gun in his mouth
and pulled the trigger with his foot,
With the above result.’ Steegmuller
presented a horrible appearance as he
lay upon the floor. The left side of his
face and the tOp of his head were com-
pletely shot away while his nose hung
down over his chin.
For two years past Steegmuller has
been acting strangely and his family and
friends were of the opinion that he was
insane, but no thought of his commit-
ting suicide had ever been entertained
by them. The shot gun with which the
dead man killed himself has stood in a
closet in his room for nearly a year,
and during all that time it has remained
loaded.
Mr. Steegmuller has resided in South '
N orwalk for a number Of years and
was well and favorably known. He
leaves a wife and several children. He
was 62 years of age.
Robbed the Bar.
Mrs. Mary Madden keeps a grocery
and liquor store on Franklin avenue,
and employs a young man to tend the
bar which is in the backpart of the
store. For some weeks past money to
the amount of one or two dollars have
been missing from back of the bar.
One day last week a five dollar bill was
missing. Neither Mrs. Madden or the
clerk could account for the loss of the
money, but finally by a little strategy
they this week succeeded in apprehend-
ing the thief, who proved to be a lad
named Flahertyyliving on Spring Hill.
The lad was in the habit of coming to
the store to buy porter in a pail. The
porter barrel was in the cellar and while
drawing it the clerk was in the habit of
leaving the boy alone in the bar room,
and as has since been found it was then
that the stealing was done. Mrs. Mad-
den became suspicions that young Fla-
herty was the guilty party and a trap
was set to prove her suspic1ons were
correct. On Monday the 1nd came as
usual for his pail of porter, and the
clerk lifting the trap door seemingly as
usual went down the stairs, he having
dropped the trap-door over his head.
After perhaps-halt a minute had elapsed
the clerk suddenly pushed up the door
and detected young Flaherty behind
the bar. The lad stoutly denied that
he had ever stolen any money, but after
being threatened with arrest he finally
confessed to his guilt. The boy’s father
was made acquainted with the facts and
adjusted matters to the extent that his
son escaped arrest.
William A. Kellogg Elected.
The New York Press this morning
printed the list of the fifty G. A. R.
men who had been chosen by popular
ballot to be the guests of the Press at
the Columbian Exposition. In the list
we find the name of William A. Kel-
logg of Norwalk, a veteran of the Sev- -
entcenth C. V.. with 3,929 votes to his
credit. Other lucky and popular Con-
necticut ‘.‘vets” who are on the list of
fifty are: J. R. Hull, of Bridgeport;
Jarvis Pugsley, of Danbury; G. W.
Warner, New Haven, and H. Whiting,
of Waterbury. They are-going as the
guest-sot the Press. and as the choice of
the depositors of over a. quarter of a
million of ballots cast by the readers
of the Sunday Press. As Winners in
this contest they have the distinction
of being the fifty most popular veter-
ans within the circulation of the Press
——that-is to say, in the whole country.
They will leave the West Shore station
at Weehawken upon the arrival of the
5 o’clock ferry boats from Franklin
and Forty-second street, on Saturday
afternoon. Theirutwo Wagner Palace
cars will be attached to the Chicago
Limited.
Mr. Kellogg desires the GAZETTE to
extend his sincere and heartfelt thanks
to all who vOted for him and worked so
hard to make his “election” sure. His
number on the list was very flattering
and he fully appreciates the kindness
of the many friends in placing it there.

Killed by a Seidlltz Powder.
A girl .in New York is dead, after
drinking a seidlitz powder, and the dis-
aster occurred in this way: - “She seems
to have swallowed'first the contents of
one package and right afterward those
of the other. The two coming in con-
tact in her stomach generated a volume
of carbonic gas. This caused the girl
to vomit, and simultaneously made her

inhaled some of the matter in process

sued, from the exertion of which an
artery burst.” '

Senators Getting Bitter in
Their Remarks.
Another Day Flittied Away an (1 Silver
“his Only Incidentally Touched——
The New York and New Jersey
Bridge Bill Passes the House.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19 —-The sessiOn of
the senate yesterday lasted from 10 a. m.
until 5: 15 p. m., when another recess was
taken until 10 o’clock to-day. The main
Object of these recesses, instead of regular
adjournments, is to cut off the time for
morning business which may be extended
to two hours. That is so much timesaved
for debate on the repeal bill, but the de-
bate yesterday, like that of the day before,
did not touch the bill at all except inci-
dentally. It progressed, first on Mr.
Dolph’s motion to amend the journal of
Monday, which, after a. couple of hours,
was laid on the table by a vote of 45 to 3,
and then on a like motion by Mr. Teller,
because his own name did not appear on
the journal, be having been present at roll
call and not having answered.
The four principal speeches of the day
were made by Senators Morgan, (dem. Ala.)
Teller. (rep. Colo. ,) Daniel, (dem. Va.,)
and Mills, (dem. Tex.) But there were
many interesting and exciting interlocu-
tory statements made during the delivery
of these speeches.
Mr. Morgan was more than usually bit-
ter in his attacks upon Mr. Hill, (dem. N.
Y.,) whom he spoke of as an astute politi‘
cian who would fly back and forth like a.
weavers shuttle, and again, as one of those
who row to the surface like bubbles on a
stagnant pool, and exploded leaving behind
only niephitic Oders. ’ '
Mr. Hill took no notice of these attacks
upon him, but afterwards got into a collo-
quy with Senator Daniel, in which be de-
clared, with much emphasis (the remark
being received with great applause) that,
if the presiding officer agreed with him the
bill would pass in spite of all obstructions.
House.
The only incident of note in the house
was a. personal controversy between Messrs.
Geary, (dem. 08.1..) and Warner, (dem. N.
Y. ,) over the New York and New Jersey
bridge bill. It was a question of veracity
and both gentlemen were rather excited,
but the speaker was firm in preserving
order, and the gentlemen became calmer.
The bill was passed.
The remainder of the day was consumed
in the further discussion and consideration
of the printing bill. Without disposing
of it, the house at 5 o’clock adjourned.
UNFORTUNATE LOVE AFFAIR.
A Young Man Kills Himself in Rooms
