Presbyterianlsm North and South.

It is a hopeful and cheering augury
that the recent meeting of committees
at Birmingham, Ala., representing the
Northern and Southern assemblies of
the Presbyterian church was character-
ized by great harmony of thought and
action, so much so that the two bodies
are likely to be brought together upon
common ground at no diatant day in
the future.

Among the great masses of the peo-
ple North and South, the sectional. dif-
ferences of the past are so rapidly dis-
appearing that they may be said to be
substantially eliminated. There are no

 

serious issues left on which to prolong

a family controversy. Americans all in
their loyalty to American institutions,
says the Washington Post, our country-
men have come to realize their identity
of interest as Well as obligation, and to
fully recognize the strength of an un-
divided brotherhood.

It may not be that this glorious eon-
summation has been delayed by the ex-
istence of separate religious organiza-
tions, fundamentally resting upon old
sectional lines, but it is very certain
that the work of restoration has not
been facilitated thereby. It is incon-
sistent at least that great and influen-
tial churches, imposing monuments of
Christian excellence and usefulness in
the history of the country, should
seemingly be last to shake hands across
the bloody chasm and declare their
perfect reconciliation.

May we not hope, therefore,'that the
results of the Birmingham conference
will lead to the permanent union of the
Presbyterians of the United States on
broad, national foundations, in one
grand fraternal fold? The proceedings
of the joint committee will be laid be-
fore the assemblies at Saratoga and
there are strong reasons for believing
that they will be practically and patri-
otically approved.

Death of Gen.‘Nelson Taylor.

General Nelson Taylor, an attorney,
well known in this section, ‘died at
his home in South Norwalk, Tuesday
afternoon, after a very short illness, in
the 73d year of his age. He leaves a
wife and three children, Nelson Taylor,
Maraposa Taylor and Mrs. Elizabeth
Andr’ews. '

Mr. Taylor was born in this town on
J one 8, 1821. He received a common-
school education. At the beginning of
the Mexican war he joined the army as
captain of the 1st New York Volun-
teers on August 1, 1846, served. through
the war, and at its close settled in
Stockton, Ca1., where he was elected
State Senator in 1849 in the first Cali-
fornia Legislature, and Sheriff in 1855.
Returning to New York city, he studied
law, taking his degree at the Harvard
Law School in 1860. In that year he
was an unsuccessful Democratic candi-
date for Congress. At the beginning
of the Civil war he entered the vol-
unteer army as Colonel of the 72nd
New York Infantry. He commanded
this regiment, which formed a part of
General Sickles’s brigade during the
Chicahominy campaign. He had com-
mand of the brigade at Williamsburg
and in General John Pope’s Virginia
campaign, and in recognition of his
services was appointed brigadier-gen-
eral of volunteers in September, 1862.
He resigned on January 19, 1863, and
resumed the practice of law in New
York city. General Taylor was elected
to Congress as a Democrat, serving
from December 4, 1863, to March 3,
1867 '

N 0 causes are given for the alarming
increase of insanity in Connecticut.
Some physicians say that the grip this
year is a prevalent breeder of insanity,
that it strikes the nervous system and
often upsets the brain, but the grip
alone does not account for the alarm-
ing spread of insanity.

A Notable Case.

One of the cases to be argued in the
Supreme court this week is the appeal
of the defendants in the case of Lizzie
F. Barnes of Norwalk against William
H. Starr, executor and others. Starr
and the other defendants are the five
nephews of the plaintiff’s deceased hus-
band, and they seek to have reversed
the finding of ex-Judge J. M. Hall, set-
ting aside an ante-nuptual agreement
entered into by the defendant in which
for a promised consideration of $5,000
she waived her dowcr rights in her hus-
band’s estate. The case is one of the
most interesting of the many ufiique
lawsuits for which Fairfield county has
.become famous.

Should the decision be in favor of
Mrs. Barnesa suit to break her hus-
band’s will by which his property was
left to his nephews will be pushed.
Success will net her between $20,000
and $100,000.

who violated the following rule: “In the
case of foggy or stormy weather the great-
est care must be exercised, speed reduced
around curves, passing stations, "approach-
ing bridges and approaching and passing

Annual Inspection Fire Department
The annual inspection of the fire de-
partment was held Tuesday evening.-
The Mayor and Councilmen with Chief
Engineer Prowitt and his assistants
first visited Hope Hose house where
they werewelcomed by Capt. Slattery.
The-captain reported seventeen active
members on the roll, of which number
but eight were present, The apparatus
was found to be in good order and the
working members of the company re-
ceived recognition for the same from
Mayor Keeler and the chief engineer.
From thence the party with a couple
of reporters on the tag end of the pro-
cession proceeded to the headquarters
of the fire police where they were greet-
ed by Captain Meeker and a well dis-
ciplined corps of good looking police-
men, in number 22 and in fine appear-
ance 2,222,222, With another 2 too spare.
The Mayor, the chief and Burgess
Wheeler modestly complimented them
on their fine appearance, and accepted
them, the fire policb, as an escort up
and over Norwalk’s Midway Plaisance
Main street, to the home of the Pioneer
Hook and Ladder Co’s. house, where
everything was found in the best'of
order,aud where Capt.Wheater present-
ed a solid front of twenty-one men.
The chief seemed surprised as well as
pleased at the excellent turnout of the
members, and pretty speeches were
made by councilmen who were former
active members in the company, and
assurance was given that everything
would be done in their power to make
the work of the company as effective as

possible.

The “inspectors” then called at the
home of the Phoenix engine boys, and
by Chief Prowitt were introduced to
Lieut. Charles Smith, who was in com—
mand of as fine a looking body of fire-
men as was ever lined up for inspec-
tion in the town of Norwalk.

The Mayor in a few terse remarks
gave deserved compliment to the men,
and pronounced the fire department of
Norwalk second to no voluntary de-
partment in the state.

Councilman Wheeler volunteered a
neat little speech after being asked to
do so by the mayor, in which he referr-
ed in a complimentary way to Charles
A. Burr as being a “ grey headed old
fireman,” and himself as knowing the
most about fires in the early morning
when the “ cook ” had forgotton to put
coals on the furnace, and incidentally
when there was a fire at Capt. Decker’s
that came very closely to burning a
boarding school and his father out of’
house and home.

Councilman Osborn confessed to hav-
ing been a fireman himself, in fact had
served seventeen years at the business ;
had been drenched through at fires,
was as had remarked Mayor chler and
Councilman Wheeler proud of the
Norwalk fire department and guaran-
teed his hearty support in all their
wants.

Councilman Boyer modestly Voiced
the sentiments of the other speakers
and stated as they had done, that he
had talked with insurance underwriters
who wished to increase the rate of in-
surance on Norwalk risks and believed
that he had convinced them, the under-
writers, that so far as lay in the power
of the city authorities chief engineer
Prowitt, his assistants, and the fire
companies were doing splendid protec-
tion against the ravages of fire.

Councilman Pinneo made two con-
fessions, 2'. e., that he had never been a
fireman, but after seeing the splendid
condition of the fire-fighters and their
equipments he was a willing subject for
confirmation.

Councilman Adams was glad to find
the department in such fine condition,
but was for the betterment of the same
if possible. .

Councilman Chinery, (captain of the.

engine cempany,) spoke of his com-
pany (as he. could not very well help
,doing,) in flattering terms and iterated
a copper fastened truth when he said
“My men are always ready.”

The board of visitors went into
executive session, and in the meantime
the Phoenix boys entertained their
guests in a royal manner.

Every public entertainment that the
public is invited to in the name of chari-
ty should be followed by the publica-
tion of an audited statement of the re-
ceipts and expenses.

Duval Club Plays Its Last

_ Card and Loses.

 

Bowden Appears Before the Governor
Almost as a. Supplicant and is De- ,
nounced By the Executive for His
Former Insolent Attitude.

J ACKSONVILLE, Fla.,‘Jan‘. 117.»—The Du-
vall Athletic club has played its last card

Gov. Michell and; has lost. That card
consisted ‘ofa. personal appeal by Man-
' ager Bowden to the governor, begging
him to cease his opposition and allow
the club to pull off the Corbett-Mitchell
mill publicly in Jacksonville. But the
governor was obdurate and told Bowden
that the fight should not take place
in Jacksonville, or in Florida, if he could
prevent it.

The interview between Bowden and
Gov. Mitchell took place in the. latter’s
office at Tallahassee. Attorney—General
Lamar was present. It is understood that
Bowden’s attitude towards the gayernor
was very much that of the supplicant. He
almost implored the governor to let up,

by Bowden’s humility, is said to have.

their insolent attitude, especially in the
matter of issuing the recent statements to
the public, in which the governor’s, ‘con-
duct towards the club. was, characterized
as “contemptible and tyranical.” . .7

At the conclusion lot the interview,
neither Bowden nor the'governor was dis-
posed to talk at any length. When asked
for a statement, Bowden replied: ,

. “You may say that the situatiOn- ‘is' un-
changed. My interview? with the‘gover—
nor has resulted in nothing. The fight,
however, will take place. I advise all
those who desire to witness the fight to
assemble in Jacksonville on or before J an-
uary 24."

Nothing is left the club now but to
make arrangements for bringing Mitchel
and Corbett together in the woods. '

Manager Bowden’s advice for all those
who desire to witness'the fight to assem-
ble in Jacksonville is regarded here as in-
dicating that the club people have thrown
up the sponge so far as a public fight in
Jacksonville is concerned and will Inow
perfect plans by which Corbett and
Mitchell can meet in secret and without
danger of interference from the state an-
thorities. _ ,
