The Daily Gazette,established-in 1890
The Weekly Gazette in 1800.

 

 

The manufacturer,~‘.~_the merchant, the me-
chanic and laborer, are all daily and de-
voted readers of the Daily Gazette. En-
terprising, attractive and honest, its readers
believe init and peruse it thoroughly: and
its Editorials and Advertisements get closer
attention than do the columns of less re-
spected papers;

 

 

‘ . .A Bright Paper.

There .is- no newspaper in America,
and we doubt if there is in all the
wor’ld,’so bright, so entertaining, SO
able and sofascinating and instructive,
as’is the democratic “New York Sun,”
in these piping times of “tariff reform.”

A Hard Law to Execute.

The opening paragraph of the new
tariff bill, which went into effect yes-
terday by the ten days’ delay, provides
That on and after the first day of Au-
gust, 1894, unless otherwise specially
provided for in this act, there shall be
levied, collected, and paid upon all
articles imported from foreign coun-
tries or withdrawn for consumption and
mentioned in the schedules herein con-
tained, the rates of duty which are, by
the schedufls and paragraphs respect-
ively provided. . '

The bill didn’t become a law until
August 2’7, though retroactively dating
to the first. The new duties apply to
goods in bond; They are to pay the
the duty prevailing at the time of their
Withdrawal.

But in introducing the free list
same act says :

On and after the first day of August,
1894, unless otherwise provided for in
this act, the following articles when
imported, shall be Aexempt‘from duty.

This doesn’t say also “withdrawn for
consumption,” so that the two provis-
ions Offer two different and contrary
regulations. . The treasury department
will rule, it is said, in the case of goods
in bond, that the omission above cited
was intentional and that (such articles
if their duty is lowered shall pay the
lower duty, but, ilf‘,made free, shall pay
the old duty ‘zonigwithdrawal. There is
contradiction and nonsense, but this
ruling is made in spite of the following,
which. is a part=of the administrative
sections of the McKinley act, and not
repealed. That'says:

Any merchandise deposited (in bond)
in any public or private bonded ware-
house may be withdrawn for consump-
tion within three years" from the date
of original importation, on payment of
the duties and charges to which it may
be subject by law at the time of such
withdrawal, provided that nothing here-
in: shall affect or impair existing pro-
visions Of law in regard to the disposal
of perishable or explosive articles.

It is sure to prove a most perplexing
law to administer, as it is also full of
other errors, contradictions and ridicu-
lous follies. But now that it is a law,
let us all hope that in some measure,
the end of the tariff contention may
serve to revive business in at least some
departments of industry. '

New Charges Against Hlm.

Since the arrest in Patterson, N. J.,
of August Miller, the Anarchist inform-
er, on Saturday, for the murder Of Max
Oehlenschlaeger, formerly of South
Norwalk, on March 28, each day has
brought out a new crime which Miller
is accused of having committed. On
Sunday, Justice of the Peace .Otto
Stutzbach obtained affidavits from two
persons implicating Miller in the mur-
tier of Otto Van Hagen, who died in
Bellevue Hospital, New York, on May
12, of a wound in the head similar to
that inflicted on Oehlenschlaeger. On
Monday affidavits we're made that Mil-
ler had openly boasted that he killed
an old negro in a midnight brawl. The
magistrate says he has secured informa-
tion which leads him to believe Miller
to be a fugitive from Germany, whence
he escaped after murdering a fellow
workman. Miller’s friends know he
committed some crime in his native
land, but the nature of it they do not
know. The Justice says he has run
across persons who do know, and the
information he has got from them he is
now working on. He. will send to Ger-
many to verifyvtheir statements.

It is said that if he had not been ar-
rested on Saturday he might have com-
mitted another murder.

Lawyer Richardftandall, counsel for
Miller, says he has the affidavit of a
New York man who says Miller was in
New York on the night the murder of
Oehlcnschlaeger is said to have been
committed. This is just what, Miller
himself denies. In his own sworn state-
ment he says that he was not in New
York. Miller was seen in Oehlénschlaeg-
er’s company up to 10:30 o’clock on the
night the dead man was last seen alive.

Those Dishonest Conductors.
The trial of :Conductors George W.
Parker and George Dunbar, of the N.
, Y., N. H. 8: H. road, for embezzlement
and Charles H. Mesick of Springfield,
for receiving stolen tickets was conclud-
ed, Tuesday and decision was reserved
to decidea law point. Lawyer Car-
roll raised the point that the tickets
' were not the property of the railroad,
but of the persons who bought them.
Several detectives testified that they
had given to the dcfendent conductors
, and these had. not been returned for
some days afterward and then bearing
the punch of other" conductors. A
number of persons testified that they
had bought tickets of .Mesick, paying
25 cets less than the regular price.

A Great Day for Veterans.

_, 17TH c. v.

One of the largest and certainly one
of the most successful and enjoyable
reunions the gallant Old 17th Connecti-
cut ever held was that'at Greenwmh
yesterday. The whole town seemed to
have turned the occasion into a. grand
gala or holiday and at no place and at
no time has so much bunting and ‘so
many “old glories” been spread to the
breezes as by the patriotic Citizens of
Greenwich. The line was headed by‘
the Mt. Vernon band and the Regimen-
tal and Fowler Guard Battle‘ flags, and
the blue and gold guidon marked the
long marching line. On arriving at the
depot the vets were met by comrades
Isaac Mead and Henry Hues. as masters
of ceremonies, and by Lombard post,
No. 24,,of Greenwich, and thus rein-
forced they marched, over 300 strong,
along the streets of the village, under
long arches of bright flags and bunt-
ing, and between the handsome sum-
mer cottages and stores, resplendent
with the Stars and Stripes.

Up the hill to the chapel Of the Sec-
ond Congregational church, whence
many companies started out in ’62, the
comrades marched, and arriving at the
church, 32 strokes of the toned bell,
told that for 32 years the veterans had
gathered in these enjoyable reunions,
each year with thinned ranks, but still
ruled by the patriotism and love of
honor and right, that had led them to
the field of battle.

The meeting was called to order by
the president of the association, who
also called, upon the pastor of the
church, the Rev. Dr. Hall, to offer a
prayer as an Opening to the meeting.
After his prayer, Dr. Hall made a short
address of welcome On behalf of the
church, people and town.

The minutes of the meeting which
was held in Newtown in 1893 were read
by the secretary, John H. Porter, of
Bridgeport. They were listened to
with pleasure. as they recalled many
enjoyable occurrences, and brought
again to the soldiers’ memories the
hospitality of the patriotic people of
that town. The reading of the minutes
was followed by the report of the treas-
urer, P. Wade, J r., of Bridgeport.

The report of the historical commit-
tee, appointed last year, was made and
proved very interesting. The commit~
tee was appointed for the purpose of
writing up the history of the regiment
since its organization in August, 1862,
to the time it was mustered out. The
history will probably be issued in book
form in a short time, and will prove of:
great interest to the members of the
regiment.

The chairman of the committee on
resolutions on the death of General
William H. Noble, the late commander
of the regiment, made the report for
the committee and read the resolutions
which the committee had drawn up and
had sent to the family of the general.
The report was unanimously adopted.
The comrade also spoke Of raising a
monument in honor of General Noble
at Seaside park, where the regiment
first encamped. . ‘ '

Officers for the ensueing year were
then elected unanimously, as follows:
President, Isaac Mead of Greenwich ;
secretary, John H. Porter of Bridge-
port, treasurer, P. Wade, Jr., of
Bridgeport, and vice-presidents were
elected from each company in the regi-
ment as follows: A, Edgar Buttery,
New Canaan; B, Martin Cash, Stam-
ford : C, John W. Benton, Danbury; D,
George Phillips, Bridgeport ; E, Rufus
Wakeman, Saugatuck ; F, Captain
Enoch Wood, Norwalk ; G, Benjamin
Brinkerhofl’, New York city; H, Charles
E. Seeley, Stamford; I,Benjamin Peck,
Brooklyn, N. Y., and K, Morris Jones,
Oshkosh, Wis., who 'came on especially
to attend this reunion.

The follo'wing comrades were appoint-
ed historians Of their reSpective Com-
panies for the purpose of securing and
preparing material for a proper history
of the regiment :—Co. A, Isaac Hoyt;
0, Wm. Warren; F, Willis M’Donald;
G, Charles Smith ; H, Prof. Justin M.
Silliman; K, Pat Wade.

After an hour’s discussion on topics
of minor importance, the veterans
voted to adjourn, and then, escorted
by the band,! marched ina long line
to Ray’s public hall, where they were
served with all the delicacies of the
season by the young ladies and sum-
mer residents of Greenwich.

After the dinner had been partaken
of the comrades enjoyed a social ses-
sion over delicious coffee. and cigars.

When the speaking was opened Judge
Mills of Mount Vernon, pronounced
an eloquent oration, followed by im-
promptu remarks b Gen. Wm. B.
Wooster of Derby, ev. Dr. Hall of
Greenwich and others.

At the conclusion of these exercises
the “vets" re-formed and headed by
the fine Port Chester band marched to
the depot and took cars for their re-
spective homes more than delighted
With their reception by the citizens of
Greenwich. It was one of the largest
reunions which the regiment has held
during the 32 years that the members
have annually met to enjoy a social day
Wlth old comrades of the camp and
battlefield.

Have Read the Bible.

It is a remarkable fact says the
Bridgeport News, that crime has greatly
decreased in this county during the
hard times. Fewer arrests have been
made in all parts of the county, Usu-
ally there are overfifty cases ready for

erior criminal court. Last year there
were sixty-three jail cases on the docket
and one Of them was a. murder case.
Several cases of rape,assault with intent
to kill and arson were also on the docket.

Most of the cases were of a serious
nature, and many Of them had to be
carried over to the October term for
want of time to try them. This year
there are but forty bound over prison-
ers in the jail awaiting trial. Most of
these are petty burglaries and few of
them are real serious cases. It will be
an easy matter to try all of them during
the next month and have, the docket
clean when court adjourns. It is gen-
erally thought that hard times increases
crime but such has not been the case
in this county.

There has been no crininal court
since the May term and the number of
bound over prisoners for the past four
months is less than at any previous
term of the court in years. The times
have been hard but they have not
driven people to commitcrime. Sheriff
Clarkson says the people have had

profited by it.

Steamer Aground.

The steamer Connecticut ran aground
on the sand bar at Fields Point not two
miles from her pier, Tuesday. The»
steamer’s people say that after passing
Point Judith fog was encountered, and
every mile up the bay it became more
and more dense. When Sabin’s Point
was reached it was found necessary to
shut off steam, and when the engines
were again started they were run very
slowly. » ,

Capt. Williamson was in the wheel-
house with the pilot, and both believed
they were in the channel, which at
Field’s Point is not wide énough to
permit vessels to pass each other. The
tide was high, and the officers were not
awaio that the steamer was out of her
course until she struck on the sandbar
and ploughed well ihto the shore.

Lighters were secured and the cargo
was transferred to them, while the pas-
sengers were sent to Providence on the
Marvel and What Cheer. The Connec-
ticut was got off at 4 o’clock yesterday
afternoon. ‘

Accident at Bridgeport.

. The passenger train leaving Bridge-V
port for the cast at 1:30 this morning
experienced a narrow escape from a
serious accident. The train had just
pulled out of the station when the large
bolt connecting the body Of' the Adams
Express car with the forward truck
broke. The head of the bolt forced its,
way through the floor of the car, caus-
ing the express messenger to pull the
bell cord. _ ~ .

The train was stopped and the dam-
aged car run on a siding. Workmen
from the local ear shops replaced the
bolt with a new one and the car was
forwarded on the 1:45 train. Had the
train been running at a high rate of
speed the accident would have proved
disastrous. .

Passlpst Away.

At this season of the year when regi-
mental lreunionse’are being held, it is
plain to be seen by. the list published
of the living and the number in attend-
ance at their gatherings, that within the
past year or two'a, great many of the
veterans have passed away. Each year
now will mark a greater increase in the
number of deaths». As old age advances,
the hardships and suffering the soldiers
endured tells on them and one by one
they pass away. Great respect” should
be had for the old soldier and their last
days be made=as happy and cheerful as
possible. ..

THE KNIGHTS 0F PYTHIAS.

Germ-m Ritual—Growth of
the Order.

WASHINGTON. jinx. 29.—Thc first busi-
ness meeting of ihe supreme lodge of the
Knights of Pythius at -the cncumpmefi't
here was held today. The report of Sue
premc Chancellor W. W. Blackwell was
submitted. Dealing with the question Of
the recognition of the Pythian Sisterhood,
the chancellor expresses the opinion that
the - ban at present proscribing the
Pthan Sisters should be lifted and the
‘members of the order permitted to join
them if they desire to do so. ‘

The action of the German lodges in
threatening to secede from the order un-
less allowed to use a ritualin the German
language is characterized as “a system of
opposition which at first took form in the
shape of protests and finally culminated
in such a dishonorable disregard of as-
sumed obligation as to take shape'in an
organized rebellion.” .The German lodges
claimed a membership of from 75,000 to
100,000, but have. as a matter of fact,
' only 13,000 members. the majority of

Germans now formln _he order becoming
members of Englisfi" speaking. lodges.
The chancellor says: “In deference to our
pledge of loyalty, let us ingraft upon our
American fraternity the strong statement
that we will uphold, sustain and advance
our country's language by hereafter issu-
ing our rituals only in the English lan-
guage for use in the United States and
' the Dominion of Canada, coupled with
the proviso that France, Germany and
other lands using a different language
shall be protected in the right of their na-
tional tongue whenever it becomes our
pleasure to introduce our order therein.
If our German brothers are not willing to
subscribe to this sublime theory, then

Opposition to a

fess, and, if not, the sooner we know it
the better.” 5

The question of admission of saloon
keepers and bartenders to membership of
the order- is treated exhaustively, Chan.
cellor Blackwell recommending that the
time has come to declare that no saloon
keeper, bartender or professionalgambler
shall hereafter be considered as eligible
for membership in any lodge in the order
and asking that a commission be appoint-
ed for the consideration of the question
and to formulate plans for the vigorous
enforcement of its conclusions.

The report of the supreme keeper of
records and seals, R. L. C. White, which
was then submitted, says that the nun].-
ber of subordinate lodges on Dec. 31, 1893,
was 6,008, and the number of members
443,615, a not. gain during the calendar
year of 436 lodges and 29,261 members.
