, Assassination of Carnot.
The whole civilized world has re-
ceived a terrible shock in the news of
the' assassination of President Sadi-
Carnot, Chief Executive of the Repub-
lie of France. Driving. through the
streets of Lyons on his way to the thea-
ter after opening the International Ex-
position Sunday evening, and while
surrounded by thousands of admiring
countrymen, he was stabbed to death
by an Anarchist, who had climbed up
on the steps _of the President’s carriage.
The Prefect of Police was seated by
his side at the time, but was able only
to prevent the assassin from striking
the second blow, the President having
already received a mortal wound.
This cruel and cowardly murder has
plunged France into the deepest grief,
for President Carnot was an executive
who was greatly respected and beloved
by all patriotic Frenchmen. He was a
clear headed and conservative ‘states-
man, and in this moment of turbulence
France will miss him. But the repub-
lic will not be seriously'disturbed. It
is too firmly grounded in the patriot-
ism of the people.
NorwalK’s New Postmaster.
Late on Saturday afternoon President
Cleveland sent to the Senate, among
other nominations, that of “WILLIAM
H. MALONE, to be postmaster at Nor-
walk, in the county of Fairfield and-
state of Connecticut, in the place of
Carmi G. Hubbell, whose commission
expires July 9, 1894.” ‘
This appointment was expected by
every one having any knowledge of the
matter. Young Malone’s good fortune
is credited to United States Patent
Commissioner Seymour, upon whose
recommendation, it is said, Congress-
man DeForest nominated him to the
Postmaster General and there being no
competitor, the Postmaster General
made the appointment and forwarded
the same to the President, who in turn,
sent it to the Senate, where it now
As more or less
delay is always incident to these post-
ollice changes, it is not probable that
Malone’s confirmation, acceptance of
bonds and final commission, will all get
around so as to enable him to relieve
Postmaster Hubbell much before the
end of July. However, his possession
of the office is assured and we think
the public equally with himself, is to
be heartily congratulated. Young Ma-
lone served three years as Postmaster
Golding’s principal clerk and has been
First Assistant Postmaster to Mr. Hub-
bell during the entire four years of his
term, and thus he has served faithfully
and well a long apprenticeship to the
business, and is a master of all its in-
tricate duties and responsibilities. This
could not have been the case had any
new, untried and unpracticed man been
appointed. '
Post-master ' Malone is a graduate
of the Center School, and is a fine
example of what 9. Norwalk public
school can turn out. He is upright,
alert, industrious, intelligent and faith-
ful to every trust and withall, a courte-
ous, obliging and always affable gentle-
man. While in no sense a noisy, blat-
ant and “offensive partisan,” he with
all his kin, are recognized as democrats,
the latter of the active andhustling
sort whenever election bugles blow.
As the newspapers have the larger and
probably clOser business relations with
the local pestoflice, it is with no ordi-
nary pleasure that the GAZETTE con-
gratulates itSelf, the whole community
'.within this postal radius, and last but
by no means least, Mr. Malone himself,
upon our mutual good fortune. A lnnk-
head, such as partisan politics too fre-
quently afflicts a community with, as
its postmaster, is a calamity sotgrievous ..
' hofigughly
to be borne, that when}; /
competent man who is fibfiv'eincedin
his duties, is selected, political Hider-3‘
enccs can well be thrust. aside in con-
sideration of the greater. advantage to
the public and postal service.

:Park’sla‘ndi/‘therSt. Joseph’s of «Bridge-,1
port. 111; Norwalk Park on. Saturdays
drew a good attendance, and the excite--
ment at times was intense. The Nor-
walk Park’s started in with_a rush and
at the close of the fifth inning the
score was five to one in their favor.
In the sixth the St. Joseph’s added
three runs to their score by the aid of
two hits and several errors making the
score five to four. In the next inning
the Parks were retired in one, two,
three order and the visitors added an
other run tieing the score. From here
to the end of the game there was great
excitement and considerable kicking on
the part of the visitors, but they failed
to get another run while the Park’s suc-
ceededin. getting Sheehan around the
bases with the winning run after a
chance had been given Lush to retire
him at first.
The Park’s played better, ball than at
their first game and showed consider-
able snap to their infield play. Simons
succeeded McAllister in the box in the
eighth inning and the visitors were un-
able to gauge his delivery.
The St. Joseph’s played good ball,
but their conduct on the field and
towards the umpire was reprehensible.
In the sixth and seventh innings they
had six men on the third base line and
one at first all coaching at once, and
when ordered to retire to the bench by
the umpire used the most insulting lan:~
guagp. Especially Was this true Of
Lush, McGovern and McMann, the lat-
ter being the most guilty, and . the
management would have been justified
in ejecting him from the grounds.
Umpire Bogardus had more close
decisions to made than usually falls to
the lot of an umpire and while some. of
his base decisions were open to criti-
cism his judgment of balls and strikes
was unusually good. In none of his
decisions, however, did he favor either
c ub.
Clune and Sheehan of the Alleghany’s
covered third and first respectively.
The latter fielded well but was_ofi't in
throwing. The former played his posi—
tion well and made three of the six runs
credited to the Park’s. “Captain J ask”
James supported both pitchers in his
usual first class manner. Mountain at
short also played well, while Simons at
second covered his territory to perfec-
tion. '

Obituary.
BENJAMIN F. BROWN.
This well-known citizen of Wilton
died very suddenly at 3 o’clock Sunday
morning presumably from the effects
of Saturday’s extreme heat, as thereto-
fore he had seemingly enjoyed robust
health. Mr. Brown, who was born‘ in
Pound Ridge. N. Y., about sixty years
ago, was educated at the Armenia sem-
inary and in 1856 established a private
school at Cannon’s station which he
conducted successfully for nearly thir-
ty years. Mr. Brown was a refined
and courteous gentleman, an excellent
teacher and withal an excellent manpf
afi'airs, one in whose probity and good
judgment his fellow townsmen trusted,
as was, shown by his repeated election
tovariOus public offices, and his being
selected to settle numerous estates.
The hundreds who were instructed by
him will mourn the loss of a‘personal
friend as his heart and his home were
ever open to any of his “boys” when-
ever they visited the scenes of their
schoolboy days. He represented Wil-
ton in the last legislature and at the
time of his death was town treasurer.
He leaves a wife and one son. The de-
ceased drove tO Norwalk, Friday after-
noon and was in apparent good health.

On His Track.
The authorities are on the trail of a
scoundrel who early Sunday morning
entered the house of Mrs. Emily Price.
on the Bridgeport road, near Milford
and committed an assault on her and
left her for dead. The victim is 75
years. old, and lives alone. Sunday
morning two men passing the house
heard groans. They investigated and
found the aged woman lying on the
floor- She was unconscious, and cover-
ed with blood and terrible cuts, as if
infiicted with a stone or some blunt in-
strument. The furniture in the room
was smashed and the interior of the
house wrecked.
During the brief interval of con-
sciousness Mrs. Price said a man had
entered the house during the night and
beaten her. No robbery was commit-
ted. The police are on the track of a
man answering the description of- the
assailant and are in‘ pursuit of him.
Three of the woman’s ribs were broken.
Her recovery.- is doubtful.

After the Boys.
Complaint was made on Sunday to
Chief Bradley that a gang Of boys were
engaged in playing cards near the rail-
road freight house. He visited the
scene and managed to get his hold on
two of the lads. He gave one of his
prisoners who was in his shirt-sleeves an
opportunity to put on his coat, where-
upon the youngster took leg-bail and
running through the mud in the
creek near by, made his escape. The
chief fired his revolver but that only .
seemed to increase the boy’s speed.

. A Lively Row.
The cry of “murder!” rang out on the
air at a late hour Saturday night, at the
foot of Spring Hill. A fight was in pro-
gress, and the scream came from the
throat of a woman. A man named Mike
Whaleu was under the influence of 11.
quor and it is alleged struck his mother
whereupon his brother Christy inter-
fered. A crowd collected and the row
became general. A Mrs. Mulligan was
struck in the face, and others are said
to have received pretty rough treat-
ment. Finally quietness reigned again
and the crowd dispersed.

surgeon at the Noroton Soldiers! Home,
who went to Mukimvika, Congo Loan- '

News received by Supt. Coe, a few

Dr. Lynch, while on a journey through
the" wilderness, was set upon by a rov-
ing tribe of natives,'taken prisoner and
led to camp, where they subsequently
killed and ate him, Nothing authen-

west to settle in the frontier village of
St. Anthony in the territory of Min-
nesota, he strenuously urged his stu-
dent to accompany him and help start
a newspaper. Want of capital made
this impossible, but a class-m‘ate, the
late Major T. M. Newson. who recently
died while consul to Malaga, Spain,
did accompany Judge Atwater and the
two’ were soon running the St. An-

MONTE MEN TAKEN IN.
How Herrmann Astonished Some French
Swindlers by His Tricks.
“I am not a lucky card player at any
time,” said Professor Herrmann. “I
did win $2, 800 at one sitting at Del-
mon‘ico’s one night, but that was the
largest sum I ever won. I can play only
with my friends, for in a company of
strangers, if I were to win and they
were to find out that I was a. conju'rer,
the impression would be that I manipu-
lated the cards, and that, you know,
would be unpleasant. For amusement
I frequently play and show a little par-
ty of friends what could be done with
cards by practiced fingers. Yes, mafiy
times I have found my power to manip-'
ulate the pustcboards very handy, and I
have frequently been able to frustrate
sliarpers who purposed tofieece the un-
wary.
"I remember that in 1867 I sailed
from New York to France to visit my
relatives in Paris, and I carried four or
five $20 goldpicccs to give to my
friends’ children. Ariving at Havrc, I
met a friend in the person Of the secre-
tary of the Russian legation at Paris,
who was also- journeying toward the
capital. We went on together and occu-
pied toward the same compartment on
the train. At one of the stations three
men came into our compartment. ~ They
were Frenchmen, and it took only a
glance to show that they were gentle-
men who lived by their wits. They were
dressed in the latest fashion, though,
and apparently found little trouble in
getting an excellent living in their line
of industry. When I gave the conductor
my ticket, I took out my pocketbook,
and one of the three, a. nice little Pari—
sian, caught sight of my gold double
eagles. He was at my side, while his
companions sat on the Opposite seat.
“That flash of the gold was enough
for the fellow, and he began his game.
He asked me if I were an American, and
if I knew anything about gold coins,
this to open a conversation. I replied
‘yes’ to both questions, and on my ask-
ing why he desired to know he pulled
a goldpiecc from his pocket and asked
me What it was. He had got it for noth-
ing, he said, in a card game. I told
him it was a Spanish ounce worth $16.
Then he and his friends began to play
cards, and he said he would show them
the game at which he won the ounce.
It was the old three card ,monte trick,
well knewn in America, but compara-
tively new in Europe. The three sharp-
ers, posing as casual travelers, placed
their layout, and the little man at my
side showed them how easy it was to
pick up the are from the overcoat,
which formed the card table. Quite a
little money changed hands, and I saw
that my friend, the Russian, was get-
ting iilturvstiui. like all Russians. be'
had a passion for :i-mbling.
“ ‘Huvc nothing to do with this
game,‘ I told him. ‘Lcavc them to me. ’
l manifested an interest in. the play,
and when the follow sung out, ‘A hun-
dred francs you can’t pick up the ace!’
I cried, ‘I but you, ’ and as I flung dowr
the money I seized his hand, which was
hovering over the three cards in a 1‘(.-‘.'.‘
and overturned the ace. The window
was partly open, and swiftly picking up ‘
tho cards I flung them out, or rather
they thought so. The sharpers raised a
pretty row and talked very ugly for

a great success, and this led to her being
engaged at the theater of La Scala at Mi<
lan, where she established her reputation
so firmly that she undertook a profession-
al tour through most of the capitals of
Europe and appeared in 1846 at the Co-
vent Garden theater, London. Here she
presented a counter attraction to Jenny
Lind at the rival house of Her Majesty’s
theater. Her professional life thereafter
was a great success. She visited America
and other countries, in all of which she
was given enthusiastic receptions.
Mme. Albonl’s celebrity as a lyric artist
was chiefly owing to the power, fine qual-
ty, flexibility and compass of her rich con‘
tralto voice, which ranged as high as that
of a. mezzo soprano. She married Count
Pepolo of the Roman states, though she
retained upon the stage to the last. her
maiden name. She retired from public
life in 1863.
