A Torrid Sunday.
We are prone to forget and yet we
doubt if “ye oldest inhabitant” can re-
call so terrible a July day as was Sun-
day. The heat of Saturday extended
far into the night and out sunrise city
thermometers registered above eighty
and by nine O’clock were above ninety.
From that the temperature ranged from
ninety-eight to one hundred and two in
the shade in different Norwalk locali-
ties. The heat was something terrible
to infants and invalids and the poor
horses. But what was sufiering here
in Norwalk was agony and death to
thousands in New York city, in the
tenement districts and among those un-
able to get out of the blistering heat of
the city. Over one hundred thousand
city people packed Coney Island and
not less than ten thousand were babies.
Great numbers were overcome by the
heat on Saturday and Sunday and hun-
dreds died from sun strokes and dis-
eases incident to the long period of in-
tense humidity and heat. '
Here in Norwalk, all who could, left
for the shore. and a large crowd peeked
the City of Albany and sailed‘out into
the sound and across to Long Island.
Large numbers were mothers with their
sick and suffering infants. Our horse
.car drivers humanely had wet sponges
placed between the ears of their heated
steeds. Thousands during the day and
evening took the trolley for Roton
Point and the Knob, where cool breezes
braced up the exhausted energies Of
children and adults.
I A prominent Norwalk physician, by
the way, states that one of the very
best safeguards against'cholera infan-
tum and the debility and bowel diseases
incident to early childhood and the sec-
ond summer teething period, is to take
thechildren on board the trolley-and
ride to the shore andgremain, ii‘gpossifv
ble, all day at the saltwater and return"
at early evening. He says there' is a
tonic in the saline breezes that brace
up a child’s debilitated systei'n beyond
all the powers of medicinal remedies.
It unquestionably adds so greatly to
the comfort at least of child and parent
that all who possibly can, should utilize
this easy and cheap method of recuper-
ation, especially so long as the present
torrid heat continuel. Physicians in
Springfield earnestly recommend rid-
ing on the swift going trolley cars in
that city as a means of promoting health
and it is no unusual thing to see cars
and trailers filled almost exclusively
with mothers and nurses and their ba-
bies, riding out to Chicopee and return
for a cool and health and strength giv-
ing airing on any day Of the week. ’
Livery horses were also in great de-
mand here yesterday. Every steed in
Dann’s stable had been engaged for
i the day prior to nine o’clOck. Gregory
had three funerals to prov ide hacks for
in the afternoon and besides all his
own and his brother’s stock, he had to
call on Dann to help him out and even
send to Westport and New Canaan for
carriages.
Church services were sensibly cut
short in most places of worship, to the
relief of the panting and vigorously
fanning worshippers in attendance.
Sunday was a day of unusual suffer-
ing. much illness, and many deaths.
Kickers and Kicking.
There is a good deal of moderately
good natured kicking, on the part of
sundry kickers, who 'thinkthey know .
ll.)W the trolley cars should'be run'and
managed better than do those “official-
ly” assigned to that duty. First they
say the open car seats are too short fOr
more than four passengers of ordinary
breadth of beam and‘ that when five
adults are jammed into a seat, all its
occupants are made uncomfortable.
One kicker goes so far as to urge that
the GAZETTE recommend the placing of
dividing bars between the few inches
designed by the management to be the
limit of a passenger’s sitting down
space, as is so generally done in New
York ears and ferry ,boat seats. _
The next, and by far the larger num-
ber and most vicious of kicks, seem to
be provoked by the fare question.
Many kick because little children are
charged for their rides. This seems to
the GAZETTE judge and arbiter of all
the public’s t;ouble‘s as a bit unreason-
able. The small child, especially dur-
ing this heated term, needs a seat far
more than does its parents or nurse,
dtlld if it occupies a seat no complaint
should be made that it has to be paid
for. Then, quite a' number have urged
iié'lo fire a brick at” the Tramway Com-
pan y because they charge visitors to
the Knob an extra fare to the ice house
station. There would seem to be some

Bridge to the ice houses. Nor is ten"

from Sdu‘th Ncrivalk to Wilson’s Point,
and no one ever thoughtof charging
that it was an excessive fare. ‘ ‘
If the Tramway Company could ar-
range for an electric'or some other
light at! the ice house and Bell Island
stations we think its patrons would
greatly appreciate it. On dark nights
the awaiting of the cars at these lonely
and rather dismal spots would thus be
rendered far more tolerable, even if it
were possible that a greater number Of
mosquitoes should be attracted by the
lights.
If the judgment of our physicians is
to be relied upon, that a ride on-ihe
trolley is more beneficial to our sick
babies than all their medicines, then
the fares are cheap enough.

A Serious Condition.
Farmers are anxious over the long
continued drought. Unless there is a
speedy change in weather condttions,
their most important crops will prove
utter failures.
Not for‘many years has there been
such an extended and severe dry spell,
thepresent condition being much worse
than during the drough of 1892. That
began later and after the crops had pro-
gressed well along toward maturity.
The weather also was not nearly so hot.
This year’s drflght has come at just
the time to cause the worst results and
the farmers of nearby agricultural dis-
tricts will suffer to the extent of thous—
ands of dollars. Especially does this
apply to those who depend principally
upon onions and potatoes which are in
Westport, Greens Farms, Fairfield and
Greenfield Hill the leading crops. There
are many small farmers who almost
wholly depend upon their onion fields.
It is a difficult crop even under the
most favorable conditions. .
'The tops of all crOps of the tuber
variety mature first, after which the full
strength goes toward the development
of the-bottoms. An arrest in develop-
ment of the tops correspondingly affects
the bottoms and this is just the present
condition. A farmer says that never
before has he seen so‘poor an outlook
for onions and potatoes. In a drive of
fifteen mile he had seen hundreds of
acres Of both crops, the onion tops with-
ered and the potato vines only half ma-
tured and, in many instances, they w'ZIre
withered.
In Bedding and Easton where pdta-
toes are raised more extensively than
onions, the condition is almost as bad
as in the other places mentioned. Beth-
el farmers, however, have been more
fortunate. They have not suffered in
the least from lack of rain. Almost
every one of the thunder storms has
traveled from west to east, Bethel al-
most invaribly coming in for a rain fall.
A competent judge estimates that the
loss to the farmers hereabouts, unless
there is a material change in weather
conditiOns in the near future, will be
fully $100,000.

'Three. B'oy’s Sad Fate.
Raymond, 9; Leroy, 7. and Freddie,
4, the children of James Ganion, a
locomotive engineer on the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad,
who have been missing since Thursday
afternoon, when they went to bathe in
the Connecticut river, were found dead
at eight O’clock'Sunday morning in the
closet of a . freight caboose on a side
track near the round house, at Hart—
ford not 300 feet from their home.
After numerous searches for two days
Chief of Police Bill 'Ordered the freight
cars and raierad property searched,
and two policemen were drawn to the
caboose by the smell of decomposing
flesh. In the trainmen’s closet, shut
by a spring lock, they found the three
bodies entirely nude and badly decom-
posed. The children went in to play, a
pack of cards being found in the closet.
It is supposed that they closed the door
and could not Openit, and soon sufl'o.

George T. Sammis, proprietor of
Sammis’ Hotel, in Hempstead, L. I.,
which is over two hundred years old,
and which was occupied by Washing-
ton as his headquarters during the bat-
tle of Long Island, recently received
word from his brother, James J. Sam-
mis, who was supposed to have died
over thirty years ago, that he was liv-
ing at Rubo', New South Wales, Aus-
tralia, and was wealthy. '
Sammis left in ’49 for the gold dis-
tricts of California, where after re-
maining for ten years all trace of him
was lost, and he was supposed to have
been drowned in a shipwreck Off the
coast Of Australia. '
George T. Sammis has received a
message announcing hisbrother’s death,
and also that he was heir to his brother’s
large estates and mining interests in
Australia. Mr. Sammis will sail short-
1y as claimant of the property.
The Hempstead and Norwalk Sammis
families are closely related.

It Was Hot.
Saturday last was by several degrees
the hottest day experienced in this city
for several years, and Sunday was a
good second. The thermometers have
registered from 85 to 105 degrees.
Sunday afternoon there threatened to
be a storm but it was only a threat as
there was a slight fall Of rain lasting
scarcely two minutes. It was followed
cooling effect. ln..the evening there
was a shower but the downpour
of rain was not sufficient to moisten
the earth so dry and parched was the
same. Large crowds visited Roton,
Gregory’s Point and other shore resorts
where they sought to cool themselves.
The heat was almost unbearable. To-
day is another scorcher and it is feared
the continued heat will add largely to
the already large mortuary record of
this month.
A Child Eating Snark.
This is either a dangerous fish or a
startling fish story, which appears in a
dispatch from Oyster Bay, L. I. It says:
“The capture of a nine foot shark
here throws light on the disappearance
of some child. In its stomach was
found a small finger of a child not more
than ten years Old.
Captain "Joe” Lockwood and Mr.
Thompson were out in a boat when the
shark took their book. It made a des-
perate struggle, and it was only after
killing it wrth a shot from a gun that
they were able to tow it ashore. It is
the largest ever. caught in these
waters.”

The Grand Old Elan Advises Churches to
licailjust ’l'helr Ideas on Heresy.
LONDON, July 30.-—Mr. Gladstone, de-
spite the eye trouble with which he is
'lfllicted, devotes much of his time to lit-
rary work of a varied character. The
atest pubished work from his pen is an
urtiee on “Heresy and Schism In the Mod«
urn Church,” which appears in The N ine-
;centli Century. Among other things,
ihe distinguished writer says that the evi-
iondeinned heresy and schism has been
greatly darkened and therefore greatly
weakened- in the course of centuries. The
rupture between the eastern and western
:hurchcs was widened by the dogma of
iapzil infullibility, which was renounced
In 1870. The reformation has undergone
settled down, and Protestantism remains
I herd, inexpugable, intractlble and indiI
gestible fact; It has spread in Amerirca
with the same vitality.
Mr. Gladstone says that the English na-
.ionzil church has seemingly left to the
.‘Ionconforinists the championing of the
Shristian side of politics. Had the ques-
iion depended on sentiment, the national
axtinction of slavery would not have been
inacted as early as 183:3.
shut-the churches readjust their ideas and
ixamine their common intorosts,'liolding
km to the ezirtliwaril extremity of the
:hnin, the other end of which lies about
