POSTAGE PRE-PAI D.
Only One Coupon.
As a large number of GAZETTE read-
ers have the mistaken idea that it is
necessary to bring six coupons of con-
secutive dates before they can obtain a
portfolio of “The World and Its Peo
plc by Sunlight,” we have concluded to
change the number of coupons to one.
Anyone desiring a portfolio can now
_ obtain it by presenting one coupon and
ten cents at the business office of the
GAZETTE.
Eighteen numbers have been issued
:nd back numbers can be supplied.
Cost of the Strike.
It has been figured up that the recent
strike of the coal miners, which extend-
ed from the Rocky Mountains to the
Alleghcnies, cost at least $20,000,000,
the loss in wages alone amounting to
$12,500,000. The money lost by the
strike, however, is the most insignifi~
ant factor in the damage inflicted.
The other losses count for much more
than money and are much harder to
replace. .
Chief among them is the loss of re-
spect for law and order, which is the
foundation of free institutions. The
miners’ demonstration has shown that
there is a Spirit of bloodthirsty lawless-
ness abroad whose possible consequen-
ces are absolutely appalling to every
lover of the Republic. In various p‘ts
of 'the different States communities
were practically divided into two armed
and hostile camps. Not only were
trains seized, bridges burned and prop-
erty confiscated in every direction, but
in one instance at least the insurrec-
tionists erected fortifications and made:
prisoners of presidents of corporations;
and others who had the temerity to re-
sist their arrogant and brutal will.
Only in the States where the militia
were called out was a semblance of law
and order maintained.
Another deplorable loss has been the
widening of the breach between em-
ployer and employed. Its inevitable
tendency is to encourage workmen to
cherish imaginary grievances, to howl
more loudly and discontentedly than
ever about their “rights,.’ and give
less and less-thought to their duties to
their families, their employers and
themselves. By many persons the la~
her problem is considered the most seri—
ous question that has confronted this.
country since the days of slavery.
To—day’s Celebration.
As we go to press exercises commem-
orative of the 244th anniversary of the
settlement of Norwalk are being held

' Joy ‘at Hillside.
_ The commenCement exercises at Hill-
- side last evening were even more Joy-
ous than usual, which is saying much.
Rev.‘ Dr. N oble gave an exceedingly
felicitous greeting, while Miss Travis’
saliltatory and Miss Vassar’s essay were
far above . the . usual grade of such
efforts. Rev. Dr. Lyman’s address on
scholarship was able and instructive.
Miss Vandersliee’s essay and .valedic-
tory was of a high order of ability and
merit. Mrs. Mead fairly excelled her-
self in her presentation of diplomas,
and to many her Wise and feeling re-
marks to her departing pupils, were
deemed the gems of the evening. ' The
(music, _ bot-h ,_ vocal and instrumental,
was exquisitely fine and’ delightful.
Rev. Mr. Watkin’s “Parting .Words”
were gracefully and effectively ren-
dered. The collation was all the darn-
tiest palate could crave, and the “music
and dancing” went on till the wee sma’
hours, as merry as the floating melody
,of marriage bells. '
‘ THE CITY GOUNGIL. ’.
An Appeal to be ’ Taken to the
Supreme Court from the Deci-
sion Aagainst the City in
the Sarah A. Hall Case.
The Speed of the Tramway Cars
to be Reduced.
An adjourned meeting of the City
council was held Monday evening, the
Mayor and full board With the excep-
tion of Councilman Adams being pres-
e t.
xJ'l‘he following bills were ordered

Lewis Keeler was granted permissmn
to erect a frame house on Grand street.
A communication was received inv1t-
ing the Mayor and city council to occu-
py seats on the platform at the Armory
on the evening of the 10th, at the
Founders’ Day celebration. It was ac-'
cepted.
Communications were received from
George Clark, proprietor of Norwalk
Park and Messrs. Simons and .Finch,
managers of the same, extending an
invitation to the opening of the Park
next Saturday.
The city clerk was instructed to se-
cure a picture of ex—Warden Sloan and
the Council chamber. .
Mayor Keeler said that in company
with the water commissioners he had
visited the reservoirs from which the
city gets its water supply and to his
mind immediate action ought to be
taken upon these matters pertaining to
such supply of water. let—The right
of way including mill rights should be
secured from the upper to the lower
reservoir, either by condemnation or
purchase. 2d—That a pipe of sufficient
8128 be laid between the two reservoirs.
Can now only use 12 inch pipe from
Griipe’s to the lower reservoir. 3d—
The securing of more storage capacity.
Water commissioner Mead who was
present said that the Mayor had de-
fined the situation very concisely. At
present it was impossible tosupply the
demand for water on high ground, and
this was especially tth- at the Chil-
dren’s Home, George Buxton’s and
J. T. Prowitt’s and several other resi-
dences situated on high ground, as well
as at Winnipauk. If water was turned
on full at the lower reservoir there
was only a few day’s supply. There
was plenty of water at the upper reser-
voirs but the pipe leading to the distri-
buting reservoir was too small to sup-
ply the quantity of water needed, and
at present it was being drawn out of
the distributing reservoir at the rate of
.pne foot 3. day. Thought that a large
i‘qua’ntity of water was wasted. Be-
lieved that the privileges of the entire
water supply ought to be acquired.
Understood that the cost would be
about $16,000. Recommended the con-
demnation of the rights needed.
After some discussion it was voted
that the Mayor, city attorney and
water commissioners meet and formu-
late some plan for an increased supply
of water and report at next meeting of
the council.
It was voted that the city attorney
take the necessary steps to appeal to
the Supreme court from the decision of
the Superior court in favor of Sarah A.
Hall against the City of Norwalk.
The chairman of ‘the finance com—
mittee was_authorized to borrow $5,500
on the credit of the city to pay inciden-
tal expenses and care for notes coming
as.
The acting chairman on highways re-
ported progress in the matter of hav—
ing the trees sprayed for the riddance
of the beetles.
The city clerk was authorized to in-
struct the Tramway company to have
the Wires belonging to the company re-
moved from trees in the city or else
place a proper proteCtion about the
limbs where such wires are strung.
Councilman Wheeler stated that the
flower mounds in the parks had§been
nicely cared for by Florist Hanford.
He also stated that he had loaned five
old street lamps to the Norwalk Park
proprietor. His action was approved
by the council.
Councilman Wheeler reported - the
electric fire alarm as being in a miser-
able condition. After some discussion
the matter was referred to the fire com-
mittee to define the duty of the super-
intendent of the fire alarm and to sug-
gest the best method for putting and
keeping the line in thorough repair.
Councilman Boyer reported that ties,
rails, etc , had been carelessly left on
Main street by the contractors who
built the street railway, and that they
were dangerous to travel. The city
clerk was instructed to notify the con-
tractor to have the same removed.
Councilman Chinery was authorized
to purchase new look and keys for the
council chamber. ‘
Mayor Keeler said that complaint
had been made to him that the contrac-
tors who were putting down the Street
Railway tracks on West avenue, were
not doing it according, to the layout
granted the company by the city. The
particular point complained of was at
the curve in the tracks near the Metho-
dist church. It was also complained
that the company had torn up consider-
able more of the avenue at a time than
had been agreed upon. He had visited
the spot near the Methodist church, and
had called the attention of the engineer
to the objections made and told him to
stop work at this point and warned him
if he went on with such work he did so
at his own risk.
The matter was fully discussed by
Councilmen Boyer, Wheeler and Pin-
neo. The former insisted on the com-
pany sticking to the layout as granted
by the City and offered a motion that
the company be so instructed which
was seconded by Councilman Chinery.
Councilman Wheeler explained the sit-
uation in a very forcible manner. He
had visited the pointcomplained of and
thought perhaps the tracks were a trifle
nearer the curb than’the layout called
for but had been told that if a change
were made it would ,‘i’iecessitate the
placing of .a guard trail at the curve
which tOJJlS mind wOuld .be more dan-
regerous than the narrowplace‘ between
the curband tracks. , *
Councilman Pinneo was of the same
have the same framed and hung up in .
asked that Councilman Boyer withdraw
his motion, which he did, and it was
then voted that when the council ad-
journ it adjourn to meet at 8 o’clock
this‘morning, at the point complained
of to then and there take action in the
matter.
Councilman Pinneo» reported that
work had been commenced'on the But-
, ler street sewer. Stated that he had
conferred with the board of healthin
reference to dumping ground for city
garbage, and reported progress. Said
that he had been besieged With corn-
plaints in reference to the speed in
which trolley cars were run through
East avenue, and it was claimed that as
high a rate of Speed as twenty miles an
hour was reached. The city attorney
was instructed to call the attention of
the Tramway company to the matter
and'insist on having the rate of speed
reduced to conform with the city ordi-
nances in reference to the matter. ‘
Councilman Boyer called attention
to the wretched condition of the side-
walk in front of Riggs’ drug store.
The city clerk was instructed to order
the building used by a man named
Clark for boiling tar in, and located
near George A. Othame’s house on
Wilton avenue, removed. ,
Councilman Chinery presented sever-
al samples for uniforms for Hope Hose
company. The matter was referred to
the fire committee with power.
The council then adjourned.
An adjourned meeting of the council
was held at .8 o’clock this morning.
The members visited the location of
the street railway tracks complained of
at the meeting Monday evening an
made a thorough investigation, but
were unable to arrive at any definite
conclusion in the matter and a further
adjournment was taken until 7 o’clock
this evening. .
Blown to Pieces.
Benjamin ‘Fladky, a Russian Jew,
aged eighteen, was nearly blown to
pieces Monday afternoon by an explo-
sion of a dynamite cartridge with which
the fellow had been experimenting in
an old woodshed in the rear of his yard
at Bridgeport. The boy found the ex-
plosive in the shed, where there was
stored a barrel containing thirty pounds
of giant powder.
He did not know what the dangerous
affair was and dropped it upon a stone,
causing the explosion. The thirty
pounds of powder in the barrel blew
up with a terrific noise and the build-
ing was blown to pieces. The house of
the lad’s parents near by was also had-
ly wrecked by the explosion. '
Young Fladky was blown 100 feet in
the air, and when he landed on the
ground he was dead. His body, was
horribly lascerated and his features
could not be recognized. The flesh was
almost torn off the boy’s body.
The explosion occurred on Goodwin
street, and the concussion was felt all
over Bridgeport: Crockery in the
houses in the vicinity of where the ex-
plosion occurred was broken and the
houses in the immediate vicinity were
shaléen, and some of them badly dam-
age . " ,

The Latest Swindle.
Beware of the individual who comes
to you witha childlike and bland ex-
pression on his face and shows you a
gold pair of spectacles or eyeglasses
which he has just found. Being some-
thing he never uses, he offers to sell
them'cheap. If you could only induce
him to turn his pockets inside out, he
specs and eyeglasses made especially
for this style of vender.
This swindle is being practised exten-
sively in many places. The plan usual-
ly is to apply at a house as peddlers of
vegetables or some other household
supply in common use, and then intro-
duce the Spectacle fake as it were inci-
dentally. There is reasdn to believe
that many worthless spectacles have
been sold in this way. The frames are
of cheap brass, fire gilt, and cost about
40 cents a pair. The pretended “finder”
asks from $1 up, and will take all he
can get every time. ’

Fatally Wounded.
At Red Mountain/a mile north of TorJ
rington Menday evening, an Italian
named Dominick was fatally wounded
by August J ourgelot, a Frenchman.
J ourgelot ordered the Italian off his
premises but Dominick objected. ,JOur-
gelot gave chase and caught Dominick
in the cellar of a farm house. The lat-
ter attacked J ourgelot with a knife' and
the Frenchman shot Dominick in the
abdomen. ‘ J ourgelot fought Daniel
Maxfield of Torrington off his " land
Sunday with an ax and club, inflicting
severe cuts and bruises on Maxfield.
Jourgelot has fled and is believed to be
hiding in the woods. It is thought
Dominick cannot live.

A prominent member of the First

that there is no foundation for the cur-_

the church, than the total of tho collec-
tion taken up, at the recent, G. A. R.
service. The sum reported as collected
was about nine" dollars and this was
equally divided, the church representa-'
tive asserts. It is further suggested,
that while it is unfortunate that such
an unfavorable suspicion should ever
have arisen, inasmuch as Buckingham
Post and the church are in accord, it is
not seen what grounds the public has
for its unfriendly criticism.

PLEASE!) WITH THE VIGILANT.
:rowds Are About Bol- All buy at Gem-och
Admitting Her Lines. .
GLASGOW, J une 1.-;Thc Scotch news~
iapers all seem to take a keeper interest
n yachting affairs than do the English
iapcrs. This morning's editions print
irticles welcoming the Vigilant and also
‘ gubllsh her' log and an account of her voy-
ige. The Glasgow Mail says:
‘ “Nowtliat the Vigilant has come every
me will wish for her a fair field and a
irlal against the Valkyrie, Britannia and
iatanita without the vexatlous conditions
rhich were experienced in New York. - It
s certain that by the end of the season we
iliould have a clear idea of the real value“
)f the centerboard. If we must abandon
iur own and accept J‘Qilibl‘lcan ideas, Brit-
sh yachtsmen will make the chaiige‘thor
)ughly when their do it. Thus the Vigi-
ant’s vislt may lead to the beating of the
American yachts by British befits sooner
than we thought it possible.”
The newspapers extol the kindness and
:ourtesy of Captain J «Troy, whose lack of
)rag has made him lios'ts of friends. Hun-
lreds of visitors still hover around the
Vigilant zit Gourock, admiring her lines
ind trying to get an idea of the working
)f the centerboard. ., ~-
It is believed that she will be ready for
races the first week in July.
Every point about the American boat is
being discussed by yachtsmen. The Vale
tyrie has been entirely rccopperod and
thoroughly overhauled. '
The Vigilant'was towed to Henderson’s
look at Patrick, two inilwnorthwest of

Nathaniel! and in every other way made
ready for the Clyde regatta.
