Historical Address.
Owing-to the necessarily hurried pub-
lication of Rev. Mr. C.‘M. Seileck’s His-
torical address on the day followiilg its
delivery at the Armory, many serious
errors and inacuracies crept into the
then printed editions. Esteeming this
address as by far the most valuable
contribution ever made to Norwalk’s
ancient family biography and town his-
tory, we have [had its author take time
for a careful and critical revision, and
we republish it in this week’s WEEKLY
GAZEr-TE in corrected form, for the
chief purpose of securing its perpetu-
ity in the families of our oldest 'resi-
dents and all other citizens who love
Norwalk and prize its traditions, and
also that it may descend to future gen-
erations in the bound volumes which
perpetuate-our local history in the files
of the Nonwanx GAZETTE.
A Good Man’s House.
D. L. Moody and Northfield are
synonymous terms. Loyal to the town
of his birth, the evangelist has made
the fame of the beautiful New England
village coextensive with his own. The
Northfield schools and‘the Northfield
conferences have a worldwide reputa-
tion. Nearly a thousand young people
there receive annually an education fit.
ting them for college and business and
for domestic life, which few of them
could obtain were‘itmot for these schools
During the summer the buildings are
used for religious meetings. This year
alarge auditorium has been erected,
and nearly filled at meetings of the Bi-
le Conference?) Mr. Moody well de-
serves the generous support which he
has received. The world is better be-
cause of his life, and friends of educa-
tion and religion alike unite in the hope
that he may. long carry on his success-
ful work. -
’ - Exports of Gold.
From the way that some writers talk
about the exportation of gold it might-
bc supposed that this is something that
has never happened before. They
seem to forget that in twenty-one out
of the last,thirty years the exports of
gold from the United States have large-
ly exceeded the imports, the total ex.
cess in that period being $461,622,000.
They alSo forget that this country' is a
very large producer of gold, the pro-
duct of our mines during this period
having aggregated some $1,100,000,000.
Allowing one-third of this to be used in
the arts, and deducting the net exports,
we have still a handsome addition to
our domestic stock.
It is true that the net exports for the
closing months of the last fiscal year
were much in excess of the average.
They amounted during May and June
to $45,500,000. But then, during May
and June of 1891 they were $45,900,000,
and this was after the McKinley bill
had been passed and there was no tar-
ifi' agitation on which to lay the blame.
These gold figures taken by them-
. selves are not always plainly significant.
Thus it would puzzle a mere party or-
gan to explain why during the years
1887 and 1888 the imports of gold ex-
ceeded the exports by $58,000,000, while
in the years 1889 and 1890 the exports
exceeded the imports by $54,000,000.
These were the first two years of the
Harrison administration, before the
tariff had been changed; yet in the next
two years, 1891 and 1892, under the
McKinley act, the exports of gold ex-
ceeded the imports by $69,500,000.
Most of this excess, however, was in
1891, the balance in 1892 being nearly
even. Then came the scare of 1893,
when the net exports rbse to 887, 500,000,
. dropping in 1894 to $4,500,000, just the
figures of 1890.
To any one who will take the trouble
to reflect over the conditions existing
at these seyeral periods it will be evi-
dent that no one cause is sufficient to
explain the movements of gold. It will
be also evident that an outward move
ment from a gold producing country
like our own is not in itself a cause for
alarm, though it is often a significant
index that ought to be carefully stud~
led,-in connection with a great number
nf other statistics without which the
gold fig .Fgalone may be misleading.
One ca, lie, if not the chief cause of
the presen-t‘isteady shipment of gold to
Europe, is, a . growing apprehension
abroad, and particularly in Great Brit-
ain, that there is a’ tendency on the
part of leading public men in this
country to force us from a golf and
upon a silver commercial basis, .and
this feeling of ‘fear no doubt‘greatly—
stimulates the desire of foreign holders

.Pass the immigration Law.
Each branch of Congress has .passed
an immigration .bill, designed to re-
strict the pauper and criminal classes
from coming to our shores. The House
has passed the bill of Representative
Oates; the Senate has passed the bill
introduced by Senator Hill, and'has
appointed conferees to confer With the
House and reconcile differences be-
tween them. " ~ .
It is the highest duty of Congress to
pass the best bill that can be obtained,
to restrict pauper, criminalv‘and an-
archical immigration. ~
The conference committee should
agree upon a bill that will be as far-
reaching as possible, not only in hill-
dering pauper, criminal and anarchical
immigration, but that will go to the
utmost line within the law, for the de-
portation of that class of men who
have managed to get into our-land. It
has become a supreme public necessity
not only to stop the influx of ignorant
and brutal foreigners, who doubly de-
moralize our labor by dheapening prices
and by lawlessness, but to make every
provision possible for the deportation
of all such elements from our midst.
If a perfect bill cannot be had, let us
have the best bill that can be obtained,
and at all events pass the immigration
bill during the present session.

Railroad Fight in Bridgeport.
The hearing on the motion to dissolve
the injunction restraining the Bridge-
port Traction company from crossing
the tracks of the Consolidated road at
four points in Bridgeport. was begun
Wednesday before Judge F. B. Hall in
the superior court. Attorney Godwin
Stoddard, the railroad lawyer, stated
that, owing to the enforced absence of
Secretary W. D. Bishop, jr., he had
agreed to let the contempt of court pro-
ceedings sgainst the Traction company
officials go over until a later date.
Judge Hall,at first, refused,saying that
if the Traction company officials were
really guilty of contempt he would not
listen to an motion to dissolve the in.
junction. ‘6 finally consented, how‘
ever, to the adjournment.
Mr. Stoddard then made an argu-
ment against the dissolution, claiming
that the danger to life would be greatly
increased with electric cars crossing the
New York division tracks over which
so many trains were run every day. He
concluded his argument at the noon re-
cess and Attorney M.W. Seymour” made
his presentation of the Traction com-
pany’s case.
Judge Hall, at the conclusion of the
hearing, took the case under advise-
ment and said he would give a decision
in a few days.

. Heroic Bridgeport Girl.
It is seldom that a young girl at the
age of 12 years performs an act of hero-
ism equal to that which Miss Ella .! loud,
daughter of Captain Ash Bond, of
Bridgeport, did Wednesday afternoon.
Miss Bond is very fond of adventure
on the water and yesterday as the sea
was running very high proposed a trip
in a light skill to Miss Marguerite Har-
ti an.
. gl‘he young ladies embarked. When
out in the stream a short distance Miss
Hartigan, who was standing in the bow
of the boat, was pitched overboard by
the force of a big wave which struuk
the small craft. Miss Bond with great
presence of mind backed water and
grabbed the unfortunate girl as size was
sinking. -
With a great effort the young heroine
lifted Miss Hartigan from the water to
the boat. A loud cheer rent the air as
the witnesses on shore -realized the
brave act which Miss Bond had per-
formed.

The Thief Captured.
For some time past James E. Henry
of Broad River has been missing duck-
lings from his duck-stream, and thought
that they were being stolen by some
two-legged thief. Yesterday afternoon
he watched the stream and saw the
thief grab one of the ducklings by the
bill and put off with it. Mr. Henry
gave chase and overtook the thief .and
grabbed him around the body, the
thief making every effort to escape at
the same time attempting to bite his
captor. It was a large snapping turtle
and he is liable to be in the soup.

The Ramona Won.
The race for the Citizen’s cup, which
for several weeks past has been the chief
topic of discussion among Bridgeport
boatmen,was held off the harbor yester-
day. There was only two entries. the
Ramona, owned by He bert Jennings
of Southport, and the hadow, owned
by Bradley Brothers of Westport. The
race was taken by the Ramona, which
was sailed by her owner, she beating
her opponent by 4 minutes and 4 sec-
onds. The course was a triangular one,
thirteen miles, from Roton Point to
Black Rock and return. The Ramona
made an allowance of seven seconds to
the Shadow.

Economics.
Here is a statement on the economics
of business which will probably be new
to many people, but it is first-class au-
thority. G. L. Hart says that in his
eXperience of twenty years of business
he has found that the interest lost on
his bills overdue after thirty days, but
which is eventually paid. is larger in
the long run, than the loss by bad debts.

following: “Such a cold season!"
“Such a hot season!” “Such dry

“Such high winds or calm!” etc All
those who think the dry spell we have
had this yea is the longest ever known
will do well 0 read the following:
In the summer of 1621, 24 days in
succession without rain. .
In the summer of 1630, 41 days.
In the summer of 1657, 75 days.
In the summer of 1662, 80 days.
In the summer of 1674, 45 days.
In the summer of 1680, 81 days.
In the summer of 1694, 62 days. ,
In the summer of 1705, 40 days.
In the summer of 1724, 61 days.
In the summer of 1728, 61 days.
In the summer of 1730, 92 days.
In the summer of 1741, 72 days.
In the summer of "1749, 108 days.

In the summer of 1871, 42 days.
In the summer of 1875. 26 days.
In the summer of 1876, 27 days.
It will be seen that the longest drought
that ever occurred in America was in
the summer of 1762. No rain fell from
the first of May to - the first of Septem-
ber, making 123 days without rain.

The Mystery Partially Solved.
The GAZETTE’S recent article cap-
tioned ”A Strange Depredation” has
elicited additional information from
the Hudson Higlands. 'It now appears
that the St. John tablet was removed
from the East Norwalk cemetery in
about 1863. That was the year in which
the Hudson River steamer St. John was
built, and the people’s line had sent an
agent to Norwalk to copy an historic
ornamentation of said tablet for the
embellishment of the new floating pal-
ace. T/le tablet. was missing. On Sat-
urday last Rev. Mr. Selleck examined
the unearthed fraction and took a copy
of that part of the escutcheon motto
which has been found, and of which
the people’s line was in search, and the
discovery is made that the Col. Joseph
St. John Norwalk tomb, one hundred
and sixty years old, possibly bore the
Bolingbroke coat-armor; and if so
there would seem to be some ground
for the New Haven Henry St. John
claim of fifty years ago. In a St. John
article now being written the subject is
discussed and the descent from Edward
IV’s daughter Cicely down to the New
England St. John blood is clearly indi-
cated. It is to be hoped that the re-
maining St. John tablet pieces will yet
be found. They are buried, it is be-
geved, in a certain East Norwalk gar-
en.

Funeral of H. C. Carter.
At the funeral of Henry C. Carter,
which was held yesterday in the Chapel
of Our Holy Saviour, the full choral
burial service was rendered for the first
time in this city. The surpliced choir
followed by the officiating clergyman,
'led the procession up the central. aisle
while the “Dead March in Saul” Was
played on the organ. The lesson was
read by Rev. Mr. Selleck. The clergy
and choristers then’ left their stalls and
gathered around the casket, where the
choral service was conducted by Rev.
Mr. Pond. During the services the
choir sang the hymns "Jesus Name of
Wondrous Love,” “Asleep in Jesus,”
and preceded the procession down the
aisle singing the recessions], “For all
the Saints who from their labors rest,”
parting ranks near the door and allow-
ing the procession to pass through to
the street.
Predicted Rain.
A new prophet has blossomed out in
Norwalk, it being no less a personage
than “Judge” Edward 0. Stuart. He
told a GAZETTE reporter, yesterday af-
ternoon, that it would surely rain to-
day. On being pressed for his reasons
for arriving at such a conclusion, he
said, “The flies told me.” The report-
er was still at sea, and failed to under-
stand what flies had to do with it, when
the Judge further explained to him
doors, which was a. sure sign of rain.
Prof. Vaughan will have to exercise
care or he may lose his laurels. There
are no flies on Stuart.

Must Hustle.
The appointment of Mrs. Carrie 0.
DuMond as stamp clerk at the Bridge-
port postofiice further illustrates the
advanced position taken by women in
affairs. Her position is the result of
competitive civil service examination
which took place a short time since. .
There were 32 before the board, all
being men except Mrs. DuMond. She
stood the highest of them all. As these
examinations are absolutely free from
any taint of favoritism the candidate’s
only hope is ability. The . fact that a
woman came out first-shown that men
must be up and doing if they expect to
still remain lords of creation.

A DESPERADO SHOT.
Joseph Scliurman’s Captors Rescued From

LA SALLE, Ills, Aug. 9.—In attempt.

day. Scllurmnl was fatally shot, and two
deputy sheriffs were-wounded with saber
thrusts. .
Deputy Sheriffs Thomas Henley. A. A.-
Colley, Michael Brennan and Thomas
Brennan went to the home of _Joseph
Schurmnn. who, with his wife, occupies
rooms in his parents’ house. The sheriffs
surrounded the house to prevent an es-
away from the officers. He is a notorious.
ly vicious and desperate character and
was ,wnntcd for the prominent part he
played in- the riots in the Union shaft six
weeks ago, when the company men at
work were so brutally beaten as they came
from the shaft. Deputy Sheriff Henley
went to the (lcpot house and knocked.
Receiving no reply. he went to the win-
dow and heard the rattle of something
that afterward proved to be cavalry sabcrs,
which the inmates had kept stored under
the beds. Henley opened the blinds and
was met by Anton Scllurman, Joseph’s
father, who brandished a long saber. and
tried to cut Hanley. Then an entrance
was forced into the house by breaking in
the door, and the s‘herlfl's were confronted
with the older and younger Selim-man
and their wives, all armed with cavalry
labors. A determined effort was made by
the sheriffs to disarm their opponents, and
it was not (until one of their number,'A.
A. Colley, had been dangerously wounded
that they resorted to the use of firearms.
The shots were fired, and young Schurl
man fell to the floor mortally wounded.
The miners living in the neighborhood,
hearing the shots, rushed from their
homes to the scene of the disturbance, and
.an attempt was made to mob the officers.

\ The female department- of ~the peniten-
tiary undoubtedly furnishes the most do-
praved types of llulllanity. Primarily,
the partiality of courts and juries for WO-
men characterizes every judicial system
of civilization: and so it .must be a de-
praved and dangerous woman, indeed,
whom a jury of Americans will sentence
to penal servitude.
Decidedly the most unique personality
of the female population of the prison is
May Colvin. May is only eighteen years
old, and isa rustic beauty. Dress her in
the. gorgeous paraphernalia of Lillian
Russell and she would be a. more brilliant
' beauty than that stage celebrity. She
has great blue eyes and a mass of tow-
selled blond hair of Titian tint. Her
form is luscious—well rounded and plump
'-'--and her cheeks areered with the vigor-
ous life of the" Ozarks; whence she came.
Her mouth is one that an impressionable
artist would go wild over, with its cherry-
doesn’t deny it. Certainly the confine—
ment in the penitentiary has brought out
her native beauty, that must have been
blurred or obscured by her exposure to
all sorts of rough weather while fleeing
over the plains and mountains of the
southwest from the officers, .or else no
jury could have ever been induced to give
common and plebeian an offence as steal-
ing horses. -
But May is not only a horse thief. but
a jail breaker as well by her own confes-
sion. Her feat in breaking from the jail
at Girard, Kan, where she was confined
about two years ago for horse stealing,
her escape to Jasper county, Mix, and her
subsequent capture there and prosecution
on an old charge will be recalled by the
readers of newspapers.

Casting Out a pavil.
M’ar A. O’Brist of Janesville, Wis, an
invali for twenty-nine years, unableto
leave her bed for seventeen years, and
almost dumb for fourteen years, now gets
up, walks, and talks. Faith is said to
have worked a miracle in her case. 'She‘
prayed fervently. The Rev. A. W. Wélch,
and the Rev. U.. Deselier, evangelists,
went to her house Thursday and again
Saturday, and prayed for her relief. Sat-
urday afternoon, Miss O’Brist spoke, then
straightened out her foot, and with a joy-
ful cry walked across the room. All in-
sisted that their prayers had been heard
and answered. Sunday the patient was
up and about the house and went in a
carriage to the evangelists’ tent meeting
in the afternoon. There was great ex-
citement on Caroline street in' the neigh~
borhood of Miss O’Brist’s little home.
When the evangwsts came to thecity they
learned of Miss O’Brist’s long confine-
ment. They suggested a united appeal to
heaven, which was done, and all joined in
fervent prayer for relief.
, “Come outof this woman, thou devil,”
said the Rev. Mr. \Velch finally. andMiss
O’Brist‘ Without previous preparation
arose-and walked about her room. Sunday
evening she held an inpromptu prayer
