Norwalk’s New Health Officer.
County health: officer Chamberlain
has made an admirable selection in the
appointment. of Dr. W. F. Tracey as
health officer of the town of Norwalk.-
He has always taken a lively interest in
the sanitation of the town, is courage-
ous in his condemnation of disease
breeding conditions and a “worker for
the health” of the community in which
he lives. The town is to be congratu-
lated upon this exceptionally good so-
lection.

Banks Loaded With Money.
The New York-banks are now loaded
with money as never before. They are
crowded with deposits and Monday
money at the Stock Exchange went for
1:}- and 2 per cent. In breaking the re-
cent currency famine, the Tribune says
the New York Banks have overdone
their work, and are now really em-
harassed by being loaded down with
deposits which it is difficult for them to
invest with safety and profit combined.
Instead Of there being difficulty to
find money to move the crops, as was
looked' to last summer, the ques-
tionnow seems to be to find crops for
this money to move. The effect of the
plethora of money is shown in the
item of circulation in the bank state-
ment, which shows an actual decrease
of $266,300. The bulls in Wall street
insist that the damming up of funds
will continue right along. The banks
report a decrease‘in loans of $1,675,300.
The deposits aggregate $421,686,900,
so that it is seen that the accumulation
of surpulus funds in the New York
banks has reached remarkable figures.
This great gain was made, too, notwith-
standing that large shipments had been
made to the South, and a peculiar feat-
ure of the Situation is that the increase
in holdings of specie was nearly equal
to the gain in legal tenders. It is, says
the Tribune, embarassing to the banks
to find profitable investment for the
mass of money they now hold.

The Man Under the Bed.
The New York papers report a literal
fact of “a man under the bed,” in the
case of a Mrs. Isaac Beerman, wife of a
Third avenue butcher, which shows
her to be a genuine heroine. For forty
I weary years the World says she had
looked under her bed each night, her
heart in her throat and a rolling-pin in
her hand, to find a burglar.
For twoscore years her search has
been unrewarded. It beganvt’o look as
though she might go down to her final
resting-place without experiencing the
thrill that woman feels in finding some-
thing which she had no carthly reason
to expect and every reason to fear. But
fickle fate was not so unkind.
Mrs. Becrman found her burglar on
Saturday, night. He was not a very
large marauder nor extremely bold,but
he was a man under a bed, and as such
a misplaced entity worthy of castiga-
tion. Mrs. Beerman wielded her roll-
ing- pin with a resounding thwack. The
burglar made a break for libertywand
abig policeman did the rest.
The woman who looks with methodi-
cal regularity for the thief beneath the
bed, who prowls about in the dark
watches of the night armed with a can-
dle and a crust-flattener, has received
encouragement to persist. Perhaps af-
ter the lapse of, many years to her, too,
will come an opportunity such as re-
warded Mrs. Becrman. And when it
comes let her fc ar not, but lay on stout-
ly. A man who will sneak under a bed
to rob in the dark, will run in craven
‘ consternation from a woman armed
with a full-weight rolling-pin.”

The Last Railway Horror. '
In the terrible accident near Battle
Creek,Mich.by which an indefinite num-
ber of wounded and imprisoned passen--
gers were roasted like rats in a. pit, the
old-fashioned method of running two
trains in opposite dirictions on the
same track was revived. This method
has not been much in vogue of late,
the rear end collision having in a great
degree superseded it. As a method of
killing and maiming human beings out
of all possibility of recognition it
proved to have lost none of its old-time
effectiveness, and the‘ Battle Creek
front to front collision will go on record
as one of the most fatal and pathetic of
its kind. ' '
One cannot read the sickening details
of this terrible slaughter without an
overmastering sense of indignation that
it should‘have happened at all. Just
who to be indignant with and upon
whose head the retribution of the law
should fall, is not apparent just at this
time. It is as plain” as the sun at high
noon that it was an unnecessary colli-
sion; that it should not have happened
andcould not have happened if the col-
liding trains had been manned by men
fit for their positions acting under pro-
per orders. At somebody’s door a fear~
ful burden of responsibility must lie.
- The frequent and fatal railway acci-
dents of the current year, show that the
art of safely transporting passengers
by rail is far from being mastered yet.
In the appliances for safety in the‘
methods of running trains containing
Several sections and in .the choice of
men upon whom the responsibility of
moving trains safely must rest, there is
still much room for improvement. And
'it is an overwhelming pity that the
necessary wisdom and experience in
this direction must;be bought at the
cost of so many dead and maimed hu-
man beings.

. Senator Flatt on the Situation.
Senator Platt does not believe that
the Sherman law was the cause of our
financial troubles, except as it was un-
reasonably asserted to be.
“It was passed,” he says, “First that
we might get an international agree-
ment for free coinage of silver; sec-
ondly, that it would appreciate the
price of silver till it came to a parity
with gold, when free cOinage would
not be dangerous. Neither of these
exceptions has been realized. And
while I don’t believe that the law up to
the present time has been really harm-
ful, I realize that we cannot continue
it as a permanent feature of our finan-
cial system. To continue indefinitely
purchasing and storing silver bullion,
and thus accumulating a vast amount
in the hands of the government, would,
I think, directly operate to depress the
price of silver, and thus get farther
and farther away from the pOint where
the free coinage of silver would be safe,
and as the question has now been made,
the law should be repealed.”
Senator Platt thinks that is
much that one might say in criticism
Of what has been done and not done in
the Senate. He also thinks with Sena-
tor Sherman and a large majority of
the Senate, that passing the comprom-
ise proposed, would be far worse for
the country than a continuance of the
present law. He is with the President,
for repeal.

Don’t Like It.
The Hour does not like it that its spe-
cial friend Judge Hall, has been taken
off the bench and made Vice-President
of the Consolidated-railroad at a salary
of $17,500,0r almost four times the pay
he got as a judge, and Mr. Maples says
some very unkind things forninst him.To
show how great men will sometimes dif-
er in opinion, we append the following
expression from the editor of the New
Haven Palladium, which seems to be
the general judgement of the newspa-
pers of the state :
VICE PRESIDENT HALL—If the board
of directors of the Consolidated road
desired to have among its executive of-
ficers a gentleman of high character
and fine legal ability, they could not have
made amore fortunate selection than
that of Judge John M. Hall of Willi-
mantic. ‘
The bar of the state will regret that
one of the best judges of the superior
court should be lost from that tribunal,
but the astute managers of —the New
York, New Haven 85 Hartford railroad
company are to be congratulated upon
the wisdom of their selection.

The Palmetto Whiskey Trade Mark.
Washington; Oct. 23.—Judge Brad-
ley of the District Supreme Court this
morning sustained the contentions of
the State of Sohth Carolina. in the mat-
ter of the state’s application for the
registration oflthe word “Palmetto” by
the Commissioner of Patents as the
trade mark of the State in its liquor
traffic, and directed that the peremp-
tory writ of mandamus issue against
the Commissioner. Judge Bradley holds
that the Commissioner of Patents in
registering trade marks, acts merely. in
a ministerial manner and that when he
undertook to decide the right of South
Carolina to own the trade mark he ex-
ercised a judicial duty which was not
legally his. It is understood that the
Commissioner of Patents will take the
case to the Supreme Court of Appeals.
Cottages at Noroton.
The committee appointed by Admiral
Foote post, G. A R., several weeks
ago to arrange for building cottages for
veteran soldiers on the grounds of the
Soldiers’ Home at Noroton, was con-
fronted with the law which requires the
hospital board, which consists Of the
governor, the adjutant general, the
surgeon general of the state and two
members of department of the Grand
Army, to grant permits for the erection
of any and all buildings at the home.
The meeting of the board last Satur-
day was the first since the appointment
of the committee, and the subject was
brought to its notice. The members
were favorably impressed with the idea
and referred the matter to the governor
to find out if they could grant the re-
quests of the committee without fur-
ther legislation. It is the opinion of
the board that there will be no need of
an extension of powers, and the sub-
ject will probably be settled affirma-
tively at the next meeting.

Ob.
Will it Be Bishop Tierney?
The statement is now made, upon the
authority of one who was very promi-
nent in the move for a canvass of the
Catholic priests of this diocese as to
their preference for a bishop, that the
result of the recent vote was as follows:
First choice for bishOp to succeed the
late Rt. Rev. Lawrence S. McMahon,
Rev. M. Tierney of New Britain; sec-
ond choice, Rev. William Harty of
Hartford, and third choice, Rev. T. W.
Broderick of Hartford. The vote in
favor of Father Tierney, it is said, was
overwhelming, being very nearly unan-
imous, the other two priests receiving
but a very small percentage of the
votes. Father Tierney is one of the
most prominent of the Catholic clergy-
men in Connecticut, a native of Nor-
walk, and is well equipped with execu-
tive ability, intellectual qualities and
administrative capacity to discharge
the responsible duties of the episcopacy
if he is approved in Rome. He has
long been pastor of the church in New
Britain. Before that ho was in charge
of the Stamford parish. He is a mem-
ber of the Board of Consulters of the
Diocese and exercises a widcinfluencc
among the priests. He is about fifty
years of age. The result of the vote
has been cabled to the Pope. It has
also been submitted to Monsignor Sa-
tolli as well as the circular that was is-
sued at the time that the priests‘ of the
diocese were canvassed for their choice
of Bishop McMahon’s successor. It
was stated that Rev. Dr. Maher of Mil-
ford, at one time chancellor of the dio-
cese under Bishop McMahon, had a
conference with Monsignor Satolli and
laid before him the circular and its re-
sults. Dr. Maher studied under the
monsignor in Rome for some time.
There are two results before the Pope
now, the first being that of the choice
of the consulters of the diocese and
the irremovable. pastors. The priests
met soon after Bishop McMahon’s death
and made selections to be transmitted
to Rome. Rev. William Harty was the
first choice of that conference, Rev.
Father Tierney second and Rev. Father
Mulcahy-of Waterbury and Rev. Father
Broderick third. v

- The Banks Case.
Mr. B. B. Banks, the blacksmith at
Broad River, had another rivet placed
in his armor of hard luck Monday af-
ternoon, by Justice Austin. It will be
remembered that Mr. Banks was first
.arrested on a criminal warrant for hav-
ing thrown a hammer at some boys and
which struck a lad named Rogers. The
money he used to pay the judgment
against him left him without a cent,and
he had not the wherewith to pay his
shop rent. Later he was arrested on a
civil suit for damages claimed by the
Rogers boy’s father. Being without
'means-his body‘was taken and he was
placed in the Bridgeport jail, he being
unable or unwilling to give bonds. The
judgment of the Justice on Monday
was that Banks pay a fine of $60 and
costs, amounting to something over
$100. In default of payment he was
again remanded to jail. It is believed
that he will take the poor debtor’s oath
in order to secure release. By a great
many the case is looked upon as a perse-
cution. Surely the victim enjoys the
confidence of all who know him, and is
spoken of as a hard working and in the
light of recent events a muchly perse-
cuted citizen of Norwalk.

Situation in the Senate De-
cidedly Chaotic.
All Sorts of Rumors From Which
Almost Any Conclusion May Be
Deduotcd—Little Prospect at Pres-
ent of a. Vote This Week.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24,—There was a
remarkable dullness and absence of vitality
in yesterday’s session of the senate.
Speeches upon the silver purchase repeal
bill were made by three senators from sil-
ver states—-Messrs. Joncs_and‘Stewart, of
Nevada, and Teller, of Colorado.
All of: those speeches were, however, in
continuation of some that had been begun
weeks ago, and all of them went over with
an arrangement “to be continued” at some
future time.
Not the slightest attention was paid to
them by the few senators who came and
went and there were only two attempts
made to secure the attendance of a quo-
rum.
Listlessness and wearincss pervaded the
chamber.
No Interest in Speeches.
Senators were evidently less intent upon
the speeches than they were upon the pres-
ent status of the measure as affected by
the compromise to he offered on behalf of
the almost united democratic senators and
upon the outlook of that compromise as
affected by the announced executive dis-
approval of it.
The legislative fiction of a continuous
day’s session, to be recorded as of last
Tuesday, was carried on by a recess last
evening, instead of an adjournment.
The recess was to 10:30 a. m. today.
One result of this fiction is that the
Voorhees cloture resolution cannot be got-
ten at even though there might be a. de-
sire to do so. Under'the rule it must. re-
main on the table for one day; and that
day will not expire until there be a. regu-
lar adjournment of the senate.
, Situation Chaotic.
The Hill cloture resolution is not subject
to that-objection, because it has been on
the table for weeks. A motion can be
made to take it up.
\Vhen the senate came together this
morning the situation could best be de-
scribed as chaotic. There were all sorts of
rumors flying around and almost any con-
ceivable conclusion would be deducted
therefrom.
It was understood that the southern sil-
ver men had abandoned any idea they may
have had of contesting the question fur-
ther, and that being left without their aid
the republican silver senators were forced
to give up. Later, however, the conditions
appeared to have changed and where there
was apparent peace and. concord there was
every appearance of a continuation of the
already protracted struggle.
The Fight Again On.
A few of the southern democrats. began
talking of a further protest against uncon-
ditional repeal, and it is stated this talk
was not of the mildest character. Encour-
aged by this the silver republicans took
heart and then it was whispered about
that the fight was on again with renewed
vigor.
Just when andhow it will end no senator
was willing to predict but unless some-
thing occurs in the meantime to clear up
the atmosphere there is little prospect of a
vote this week.
It had been the intention, so it was re-
ported, of Mr. Voorhees last night to have
moved an adjournment until to-day, but
if this was over his purpose, he changed
the programme at the last moment.
Fear an Adjournment.
The change of front on the part of the
silver men led to the belief that the time
would be consumed in a prolongation of
the discussion and it was deemed best to
confine it to the bill itself. For this rea-
son the recess was taken.
Senator Aldrich, who has discussed the
matter with his colleagues, said last even-
ing that he behaved that the republicans
with the exception of something less than
a dozen Would favor a reasonable cloture
rule, but they were not inclined to take up
with the suggestions found in any that
have been submitted to the senate up to
this time. He was quite sure the republi-
cans would not join in any request to the
vice-president but that the cloture they
favored must come before the senate in
the regular way.
House of Representatives.
The public printing bill, a. resolution
distributing $237,000, now held by the re-
ceiver of the Mormon church for charitable
purposes and a. bill appropriating $175,000
to construct a revenue cutter for service on
the great lakes, were passed by the bone 3
yesterday.
The Oates bankruptcy bill was taken up
for consideration without a limit being
fixed for goneral debate. Mr. Oates (dem.,
Ala.) spoke in favor of the measure while
W. A. Stone (rep. Pa.) and Mr. Sibley
(dem., Pa.) antagonized it. ’
A point of order being raised on the call-
ing up of a. bill here on the _ calls of the
committee which had previously received
two hours consideration, it was discovered
that no ruling had ever been made on the
question. Speaker Carlisle, in the fiftieth
congress, expressed the opinion that such
a bill took its placeupOn the calendar but
no formal decision was rendered. Mr.
Crisp took the point of order under advise—
ment and will make a. ruling. ‘

Mysterious and Peculiar Death of'l‘wo
DIen While Fishing.
WATERTOWN, N. Y., Oct. 24. —A strange
tragedy has excited the people of Dexter
and Perch River during the past few days.
On Saturday, October 14, William and
George Winnegar, two elderly residents
of Dexter, left their homes witha complete
outfit for camping for their annual season
of trapping on Perch lake and river.
On Friday news was telegraphed to
Dexter that the body of a man, who was
believed to be one of the brothers, had been
found inthe Perch river. -
The body was identified at that of Wm.
Winnegar. ' ‘
The body was found in a sitting position
in Winnegar’s boat, with the hands upon
the cars, apparently as if. asleep.
Further search revealed his brother’s
body in his boat a. few rods further down
the stream in. almost the same posture.
Their tents and the complete outfit were
still in their boats as if they had not been
used and the supply of food also indi-
cated that it had not been touched.
There is absolutely no solution of the
mystery. The coroner has begun an in-
vestigation.
La. Blanche Knocked Out.
Dns Morxns, Iowa, Oct. 24.-—George La
Blanche, "The Marine,” of Chicago, and
Billy Layton, of this city, met in an im—
provised ring about 15 miles from here last
night for a purse of $500. In the seventh
round La Blanche forced his adversary to
the ropes and administered a good blowin
the neck. It staggered Layton for an in-
stant but he railed and landed a. swinging
blow with his right which struck LaBlanche
on the jaw and put him to sleep.
