”Hello.”
Norwalk awaits the coming of that
competing telephone company. The
city has no unreasonable grievance
against the “hello” corporation which
now farms out permission to indulge in
electrical conversation; the only trouble
is the expensiveness of the privilege.
In half a dozen of the country’s princi-
pal business centers arrangements are
now well under way which will result in
the organization and operation of tele-
phone companies that oifer better ser-
vice at lower rates. Out of the healthy
rivalry which is promised will come im-
proved instruments and much more sat-
isfactory communication between sub-
scribers, while the rental cannot but be
reduced considerably. In other coun-
tries the telephone industry flourishes
excedingly at a cost which is less than
one fourth of the average American tar-
iff; an unreasonably great difference.

Some Pertinent Questions.
It seems impossible to obtain of the
tariff reformers in Congress any satis-
factory explanation of the dangerous
course they are pursuing in abandoning
the revenue only platform and resort-
ing to strange and mischievous exped-
ients for meeting the desired deficits of
the government. Their discussions
throw no light upon the subject, the
people are left in the dark, the busi-
ness world still gropes in uncertainty
as to the outcome. Is it the expecta-
tion that the country is henceforth to
live upon bond sales alone?‘ Is the
Democratic majority in the coils of
some mysterious spell which binds it
to its own future ? Has it lost sight of
its pledges? Is it impervious to the
shame and humiliation that must in-
evitably overtake it if it fall in the
legislation which it has undertaken?
There are other questions in this con
nection suggested bya correspondent
of the New York Herald to which deaf
cars should not be turned.
“How happens it when Congress is
in such financial straits that it is con-
strained to borrow money to pay its
daily bills, and a pending tariff bill
will next year leave an estimated deficit
of over $50,000,000, that nobody sug-
gests immediate customs taxes on
sugar, tea, or coffee?
“ The United States always had cus-
toms taxes "on sugar till McKinleyism
came in 1890. All tea and coffee duties
were, by Republicans, remitted in
1872, because pure revenue taxes, the
money paid for which by consumers,
went into the Treasury. McKinleyism
went a step further in 1890, made free
the raw sugar, which is the raw mater-
ial of refiners, put a tax of half a cent
a pound on refined sugar, and faxed
the country to pay a bounty of 2 cents
a pound on domestic sugar to be pro-
duced between 1891 and 1895. That re-
mission cost the nation $50,000,000 or
$60,000,000 of revenue, and a payment
of some 39,000, 000 as a bounty.
“Why has neither a Democratic
President nor a Democratic Congress
assailed that keystone of the arch of
McKinleyism? What is the hidden re-
straining influence? Who knows and
will tell?
“Some one may plead, ‘ Don’t assail
a Democratic tariff.’ That is very well!
But why did its artificers in the pres-
ent Congress keep so far away from
sugar and then passionately embrace
an unconstitutional income tax? Why
are our Democratic Congressmen on
such intimate relations with sugar re-
finers and sugar trusts?”
And the catechism Can be indefinite-
ly enlarged.
' It isawonderful thing that a party
which rode into power upon the sum-
mit of such a tidal wave in 1892 should
stand to-day apparently dazed by the
magnitude of the responsibility which
a confiding- people then placed in its
hands; more wonderful that it should
desert its old landmarks; more wpn-
derful still that it cannot or W111 not
see the trap which it is helping a Re-
publican opposition to set for its own
defeat.

Rev. Mr. Clark Sues.
The Rev. William W. Clark, former-
ly pastor of the Methodist church in
thiscity, but now in charge of a parish
in Brooklyn, was the plaintiff in a legal
action against the Bridgeport Steam-
boat company in the Court of Common
Pleas in Bridgeport Wednesday.
Says the Standard:
“About a year ago Mr. Clark was as-
signed to his presant charge in Brook-
lyn and decided to move his household
effects to that city by boat. He made
his arrangements with the company’s
officials, and on April 20, 1893, removed
his furniture, library and piano to the
company’s wharf.
On that day it will be remembered a
terrible storm raged and the company’s
steamer was unable to reach the dock
in Bridgeport. The tide was unusually
high and backed up on the boats and
wharfs along the water front. Mr.
Clark’s goods were on the steamboat
company’s wharf, and he claims were
badly damaged by the salt water. He
alleges .that when they reached the
destination the library was almost
ruined. He immediately presented a
claim against the company and pay-
ment was refused. Mr. Clark, through
his attorneys, Paige & Carroll, insti-
tuted a suit to recover $355 damages.
The steamboat company were repre-
V sented in court by Attorney W. D.
Bishop, Jr. Mr. Clark testified as to
the amount of the damage, but the
company claimed that; they were not
responsible for'the damage as the goods

Wlllle Insane Frederick Green At-
tempts to Kill His Wife.
He Afterwards Tries to Kill Himself
at the Station House.
I
Shortly after noon Wednesday Fred-
erick Green of No. 5 Wood street,
South N orwalk. employed at the Lock-
wood Manufacturing Co’s factory on
Day street, returned to his home on
account of illness. As he entered the
house he told his wife that an attempt
was going to be made upon his life and
that as he was coming home a man had
fired a pistol shot at him. Mrs. Green
tried her best to quiet him but be
continually talked about some one try-
ing to kill him. Shortly before eight
o’clock in the evening as Mrs. Green
was preparing her two young children
for bed Green walked into a bed room
and when he emerged he carried a pas-
tol in his hand. When he arrived with-
in five fcct of where his wife was sit-
ting in a rocker with her babe on her
lap he shouted out that some one was
going to shoot her. Almost instantan-
eously with his remark the report of a
pistol rang out in the room. Mrs.
Green grabbed the child in her arms
and fled up stairs to the rooms above.
Green then walked back into the bed
room and threw himself on the bed
where he was found by Mrs. Annie
Goodwin who occupied a room upstairs.
She asked him what was the trouble
and Green replied that nothing was the
matter. Mrs. Goodwin saw the pistol
lying on the bed and at once picked it
up and carried it up stairs.
An examination of Mrs. Green showed
that the bullet from Green’s pistol h‘ad
ploughed through the skin at the base
of the skull, and was a remarkable cs-
cape owing to the close proximity of
the pistol to her head when fired.
As soon as the excitement attending
the shooting had subsided Constable
Samuel Ireland was called in and placed
Green under arrest and took him to
the station house, where he remained
all night.
This morning during the absence of
Robert Bones, the keeper at the lock-
up, Chief Vollmer and reporter Mitch-
ell cntered the station house to see ~
Green. As the Chief neared the cell
he noticed that Green was lying on the
couch with his head hanging over one
side. A closer inspection showed the
Chief blood dripping on the floor from
the prisoner’s head. He immediately
dispatched Mr. Mitchell for Dr. Bohan-
nan and rushing into the cell. found
that Green had been trying to kill him-
sclf by butting his head into the iron
bars of the cell. Dr. Bohannan prompt-
ly responded and dressed the injured
man’s wounds and he then became
quiet.
Green is a man about 45 years of age
and a veteran of the war. The present
Mrs. Green is his second wife. Mrs.
Green told a GAZETTE representative
that when a young boy Green was
thrown from’a load of hay and had the
back of his head crushed. The doctors
performed the Operation of trepannmg
and ever since he has temporary spells
of insanity, although he had never be-
10.?“ violent before or attempted 1191‘

It is probable that Green, as soon as
he is able, will be taken to the Middle-
town asylum.

ON THE AVENUE.
Girls, be true to yourselves; have all
the innocent fun that you can, but do
not wilfully load a man on for the sake
of amusement or to show others how
thoroughly irresistible you can be.
Honest affection is not to be despised,
and though coquetting with hearts may
seem very exciting work in the begin-
ning, it too frequently acts like a
boomerang, bringing misery to the one
who shot the first barbed dart.
Looking into the window of one of
our largest stores stood one of the
smallest and blackest colored girls you
ever saw—a veritable Topsy, whose
eyes fairly bulged out of her head as
she viewed all the wonders behind the
plate glass. Two Chinamen coming
along attracted the attention Of a
Water street gamin, and, with the in-
stinctive delight his class takes in teas-
ing, he called out to the small figure:
“Hi, Chloe, there goes yer brothers!”
With a sweeping glance of indignation
the child drew herself up to the fullest
extent of- her tiny frame, and, with
a withering, “They’re mo’ yer color
than they is mine.” went on with her
survey. For once a street gamin was
disconcerted and the passer-by would
have liked to pat that dusky maiden on
the back.
Everyone carries a bundle, and some-

A woman on a Tramway car apparently

dived under the seat and secured a
large knobby bundle done up in canvas
and somehow, despite all these encum-
brances, there was a loose finger some-
where that managed to raise her gown
as she stepped over the muddy crossing.

A ONE—GUN REPUBLIC.
“110:: It Was Secured They Could Not
Safely Fire It.
The rulers of the miniature republic
of Andorra decided recently that the
country should possess a. cannon.-
Krupp, therefore, was ordered to man-
ufacture one of the most modern type.
The great gun arrived at its mountain
- destination a. short time ago, and was
placed on the highest point in the
“country,” so that the citizens could
see that the valley was well protected.
A day was appointed to try the can-
non, which was able to send a. ball,
eighteen kilometers. Just as the two
artillerymen of Andorra. were ready to
fire it occurred to one of the prudent-
cltizens that the shot might cause some
trouble. The territory of the republic
Andorra. does not extend over more
than six kilometers. To direct the
shot, therefore, toward the surround»
ing mountains would be the same as
firing on France or Italy, as the ball
would necessarily fall on the territory of:
one of these countries. A war might be
the result. It was then decided to shoot
the ball in.the air, but some one sug-
gested that it would endanger the lives,
of too many people in its descent, and;
possibly bore a. great hole in the re-'
public of Andorra. Good council pre-
vailed and the two artillery men were
commanded to unload the gun. The
shot has not yet been fired, and theI
good republicans are uncertain what
to do with the expensive gun.

guardian put the little girl to bed early,
but at about 10 o’clock at night he took
the sleeping child from the bed, and carry-
ing her to his room carried out his design.
TWO other men witnessed the outrage, but
they claim they were fearful of the power-
ful assailant.
Pikkarien was arrested as soon as the
crime he had committed became known
and was taken to Ewen, where he was
placed in the village jail.
He admitted having committed the deed.
The child is frightfully injured and is suf-
fering intense pain. She is expected to die.
As soon as it became known that Pik-
karien admitted his guilt, 50 indignant cit-
izens, wearing masks surrounded the frail
structure in which he was placed, deter-
mined to lynch him.
The law officers protested, but to no
avail. The jail doors were smashed in and
the culprit brought out by force, a. rope
was placed about his neck, and he was
dragged 80 rods to a railroad trestle, where
he was hanged.
The village is still wild over the outrage,
and should the citizens find the guilty
man’s two associates they would end the
incident with a double lynching.
