THE FAVORITE HOME PAPER-

The Gazette has the largest clr-

o'ulation of any paper in Norwalk.

and furnishes the lowest advertising

rates.

 

 

Banks and Currency. ,
The New York bank statement for

Saturday shows about as great a ple-s

thora of accumulated money as there
recently was scarcity. This is certainly
an unhealthy financial condition, as
this idle money thould be in active use
in business. It is to be hoped the
banks will do their share in so distri-
buting and loaning it as to aid in a
start-up in present stagnated manu-
facturing and business enterprises.
The surplus reserve and increase of
cash shown by Saturday’s reports are
perfectly phenomenal and the banks
can at least now return to their old and
legal rates of discount.

The New Way Out.

The Gorman compromise plan, agreed
upon by a majority of the Democratic
Senators, seemed to give assurance to
the caucus at which the new way out
was planned, that day-light was to be
seen ahead. It now appears that the
President and Secretary Carlisle are
teetotally opposed to it, and Senator
Sherman denounced the compromise as

 

a “contemptible makeshift,” and said

noRepublican Senator would vote for it.
This would seem to leave the Senate’s
majority on its beam-ends again. It is
curious, and would be comical were it
less serious, to note that many earnest
and honest Democrats, in and out of
Congress, express a wish that they
might have “Caesar” Thomas Reed in

‘ the Vice-President’s chair for just a

single hour.
Let Van Alen Rest.

The Senate having confirmed his
nomination, by a large majority, Mr.
Van Alen and his campaign contribu-
tions ought to be regarded as res ad-
judicata. His conduct as Ambassador
to Italy will be a fair subject of criti-
cism, but the discussion of his wealth,
his Newport house, his eye-glass, his
dudish and English cockney ways, and
the other personal details that have
been so much discussed, may now fair-
ly be left to the students of ancient
history. .

If Mr. Van Alen had been a played-
out politician whom it was necessary to
get rid of at the public expense, his
nomination to a foreign mission would
have been accepted as a matter of
course. On his nomination Senator
Hawley voted nay, Senator Platt was
absent, Senator Hill voted for and Sen-
ator Murphy against the appointment.
The New York World arraigns Presi-
dent Cleveland for the fact “that an
obscure millionaire who had never ren-
dered any public service, and who had
never voted until last year, has received
a commission to represent this country
at the Court of Rome in recognition of
his contribution of $50,000 to the Dem-
ocratic campaign fund.” The Sun says
(sardonically) that there is one duty
still to be performed by Congress with
respect to Van Alen—“the present sal-
ary of the office is $12,000, it should be
raised to $50,000.” Being a gentleman
of wealth with no standing in Tam-
many Hall, the stern censors of morals
who edit party organs see in his nomi-
nation only Presidential depravity.
The Senate is satisfied and there is
nothing more to be said till we see how
he acts as Ambassador. It is possible
that this new-born zeal on the part of
the “party organs” is but a cloak for
personal malice.

Two Hundred Miles an Hour.

While there is no mechanical impossi-
bility in running railway trains at the
rate of 100,150 or even 200 miles an
hour, the difficulties are so serious,
remarks the Hartford Post, that the
higher speeds have been considered
practically out of the question. They
consist, to mention only those which
are more familiar in the tendency of
the train to leave the rails on curves,
the need of much heavier roadbed and
rolling stock, and the enormous in-
crease in the resistance of the air. The
practical effect of the latter is probably
exaggerated since trains running at
fifty or sixty miles an hour do not
usually sufi‘er much delay from the
,most violent winds, even when these
winds are directly opposed to their
course, in which case the added speed
of wind and train must produce a pres-
sure nearly or quite equivalent to that
exerted by a wind blowing a hundred
miles an hour, that is, about thirty-five
pounds on each square foot of surface
exposed. It is true that the pressure
increases rapidly, that is as the square

' of the numbers representing the dif-

 

ference, being for instance, four times
as great at 100 miles as at '50, and
four times as great at 200 miles as at
100. It is something to reckon with,

but not a controlling- element in the-

problem.

The matter of roadbeds and curves is
more serious. This question is con-
sidered in a recent English pamphlet
by Mr. Behr, who not only furnishes
tables and calculations, but maintains
that there isa way to run safely and
without enormous expense at the rate
of from 120 to 150 miles an hour. His
system is that of the single rail, or
rather a main central rail, with supple-
mentary guide rails at; the side, really
a system of three rails in which one is
of prime importance. This center rail
is about four feet high. - It answers to
the saddle, and the guide rails to the
stirrups. It is believed to be practi-
cally impossible to derail a train thus
mounted. About nine miles of road on
this system are in operation in Ireland,
and a mnch larger section in France is
nearly completed. Although these
roads were not built for the use of
trains of high speed, they are believed
by Mr. Behr to have provided, unin-
tionally, the solution of his problem.
He hopes to see his system thoroughly
tested, approved and in operation on a
large scale within a few years. For in-

stance, he wants a road from London to'

Brighton, forty-seven miles. He fig-
ures that it can be built and equipped
for $5,000,000, and that trains run by
electricity will make the. journey in
twenty-five minutes. Then he hopes
to see the system extended sons to
make the time from London to Paris
two hours and twelve minutes; but
more especially he wishes to provide
speedy communication between Lon-
don and the countryfor twenty-five
miles about so that every man who
does his work in London may live in
the country, far away from smoke and
tumult, and yet waste no more than
ten minutes on the daily jlourney each
way.

Of course, everyone would be glad
to see Mr. Behr’s plan put into safe
practical and successful execution, but
from the succession of railroad acci-
dents and horrors attending the World’s
Fair trains to and from Chicago, it
would seem that the first thing to be
accomplished in this country is a meth-
od of running railroad trains even at a
moderate speed, with reasonable safety
to the lives and limbs of their passen-
gers.

Abouta dozen hoodlums assembled
on Orchard street Sunday afternoon,
and were, by their antics and loud and
profane talk, making it very unpleas-
ant for the residents of that street when
Officer June suddenly came in sight
and one of the party cried out,“there
comesacop,”and the crowd quickly
ran to the railroad tracks and out of
reach. A few arrests would have a
wholesome effect, as these lads have
become an intolerable nuisance to resi-

 

 

dents of that street. »

They Object.

The rumor is current that certain of
the Norwalk stalwart democrats are go-
ing to petition Mr. Cleveland not to
sign the compromise silver bill agreed

 

 

'upon in the democratic senatorial cau-

cus. If this is true, wouldn’t it be just
as wise to hold on a bit and see if this
coerced compromise ever gets through
the Senate?

by the officials of the Consolidated
Road was given to the heads of .the
various departments Saturday evening.

order was issued only to the foremen
in the repair shops, but it is understood
that it will be extended to all depart-

The inci-

life, there being no overdrawn situa-
tions, and there is nothing in the entire
play that does not occur daily. Our
cities are full of such men as Gilbert
Blair and one glance over the divorce
record will show how many happy
homes have been wrecked; how many
unjustly? There are as many women
as true and as faithful as “ Madge,”
but being inveigled into the first lie,
are ever afterward alone in the world.
How many happy families have been
downcast over the loss of a daughter
who is not dead, but worse. He is
shown in the kind-hearted people,
whose only crime is their poverty, and
whose hearts are almost 'too large for
their scanty raiment to cover them,
willing to divide the last penny. There
are many of such and it is well that
there are numerous “Simon Kl'eggs” in
the world—a man who could not curse
his daughter.

An Honest Employee

Mrs. John Camp in coming up from
New York one evening last week passed
from the car she had ridden to Stam-
ford in to the forward one. As she did
so, she slipped off her glove and her
diamond ring seems to have 'come with
it. She noticed her loss as soon as she
got seated, but the car from which she
had stepped had been cut off at Stam-
ford and the ring could no where be
found in the one in which she was seat-
ed. Of course the good lady came home
“in a state of mind,” as the jewel was
worth some $200 and was prized beyond
its money value as the gift of a friend.
Saturday, Mr. Camp on going down. as
is his won’t, on grand old Frank Her-
mance’s train, he was notified at the
Stamford depot, that the ring had been
picked up by a railroad employee on
the track between the rails and ties at
the point where his wife had stepped
from one car to-the other and had been
delivered to the officer whose duty it is
to receive and care for articles lost or
left in the cars by passengers,as is daily
done. There was a “happy family” at
Camp’s tea-table Saturday night and
all voted the employee who .found and
returned the ring, “one of God’s no-
blest works,”——an honest man.

Earle-Sammie.

The Long Islander publishes the fol-
lowing account of the wedding of the
daughter of James S. Earle, at Oyster
Bay last week. The bride was well
known in Norwalk her father having
for a number of years been in the dry
goods business here:

As previously announced the mar-
riage of Miss Della M.Earle, the daugh-
ter of James S. Earle, and Edward T.
Sammis was solemmzed at 4 o’clock at
the residence of the bride’s father at
Oyster Bay. Rev. A..G. Russell, pas.
tor of the Presbyterian church, per-
formed the ceremony. The house was
artistically decorated With flowers and
a beautiful floral arch erected, under
which the bride and groom sto’od dur-
ing the ceremony. The sister of the
bride,Miss Grace Earle, acted as brides-
maid and Dr. Fred. L.Burgess,of Hun-
tington, was best man. Miss Edna S.
Duryea was the maid of honor. The
ushers were Dr. C. W. Root, and S. C.
Masters, of New York. The Wedding
march was played by Prof. Thomas as
the bride appeared leaning on the arm
of her father, the maid of honor pre-
ceeding them and scattering flowers in
their pathway. The bride was elegant-
ly attired in a tan colored traveling
dress, and the brldesmaid wore a cos-
tume of light green. After the nuptial
ceremony was conducted a bounteous
repast was served and the ' newly wed-
ded couple was conveyed to the rail-
road station and left for an extended
wedding tour. Festivities were kept up
at Mr. Earle’s residence until a. late
hour. The presents were very numer-
ous costly and beautiful.

An Error.

The new time table of the Norwalk
Horse railway which went into effect
this morning contains an error in the
Sunday table, .If correctly printed, that
will greatly discommode West avenue
and South Norwalk people attending
church up town.

In the table referred to there is no
car scheduled after the 12:55 car until
2:15, an hour and twenty minutes after.
As the difi'erent Sunday schools are not
dismissed until -1 o’clock and after, too
late for the 12:55, it would seem that
an error is made in requiring passen-
gers to wait until 2:15 for a car. No
doubt President Hill will correct this
error and have a car running shortly
after 1 o’clock every Sunday afternoon.

Home Again.

Postmaster J. C. Randle of Winni.
pauk returned safely from his second
trip to the World’s Fair, late Saturday
evening. He came around via \Vash-
ington.‘ where he stopped over and vis-
ited Congress and the Departments.
He reports having had an exception-
ally good time, barring the worry and
anxiety his fellow traveller, Newsman
Benedict, caused him. It seems Bene-
dict sort 0’ relied on Randle to look
after him as he had never been to the
White City before and learned the
ropes, while Randle had. But no soon-
er on the grounds than Benedict was
all agog, running here and there, to
see every new and wonderful thing.
Randle can’t tell the number of times
he lost Benedict nor how often he had
to;pull him out of the Mid-Way Plais—
ance, which seemed to have a strange
fascination for Benedict, who had nev-
er seen anything so oriental before,
not even at a Norwalk Opera House
limb show. But Randle succeeded in
getting Benedict into and out of Wash-
ington with reasonable success, yet
when he got him to New York yester-
day he lost him again, and this is the
explanation of Randle’s lonely ride up
home Saturday night.
