The Weekly. Gazette in 1800.
The manufacturer, the merchant. the «me-
ehanic and laborer. are all daily and de-
voted readers of the Daily Gazette. En-
terprising, attractive and honest, its readers
believe in it and peruse it thoroughly: and
its Editorials and Advertisements get closer
attention than do the columns of less re-
spected papers. 71 .
The Tariff Foundling.
Under the above headline, and at
the top of its editorial column, the
New York Sun of TueSday evening,
has the following sententious richness :
“Ten days ago a legislative foundling
was abandoned on the front steps .0
the -White House. Mr. Cleveland. said
it was not his; Mr. Wilson repudiated
its paternity; it- had been born out of
political wedlock. Last night as the
clock struck 12 Mr. Cleveland opened
the back door, and the waif was sneaked
in to receive a cowardly welcome in
the house of'him who was respons1ble
for the puny creature‘s existence. The
father of the Income Tax and qualified
protection neither dared to accept his
offspring before the world nor turn it
awuy'to die.”
Should be Cowhided.
An impecunious English adventurer
named Robert Peel, whom it would be
charitable to‘ designate as a snob, is
now in New York claiming the hand of
a Miss Sanford,~ of Bridgeport, and pa-
rading her letters in bar rooms and
other congenial places of resort. He
seems to believe that his chief claim to
social recognition in this country is in
his boast that he was for some time the
favorite of Mrs. Langtry and was able
to detach her from Mr. Gebhard.
Miss Sanford, like many other silly
school girls, when abroad was charmed
by the grandson of a notable English
character and was weak enough to cor-
respond with him and possibly to give
him an engagement of marriage. As
soon as her friends discovered that she
had as an intimate acquaintance the
spendthrift son of an impoverished
father, who could” not pay his wash-
woman unless be. borrowed or beat
someone out of themoney, they brought
the young lady home. He has followed
her tothis country and is parading him-
self'i in the saloons and other public
places of New York, and tells the story
of his engagement to the young lady
and her willingness to marry him if
her friends permitted.
There is only one way to treat such
an insolent adventurer who parades a
lady’s correspondence and boaststhat
he Will not surrender the letters unless
it be in the presence of herself and her
-
friends, and that is for some friend of-
Miss Sanford in particular, and decent
ladies in general, to take him by the
scuff of the neck and administer to
him a good horse-whipping. That is
the only argument that is likely to be
persuasive with the degenerate grand-
son of Robert Peel, once Premier of
England. Try the horse whip and end
. the scandal.

Gigantic Railway System.
The sixth annual report of the Inter-
State Commerce Commission, which
covers the year ending June 30, 1893,
has managed .to get itself printed by
the Government Printing Office at
Washington more than a year after
date. Barring this defect of after-date
publication the report is well worth
the careful perusal of every intelligent
American. It is a careful compilation
of the railway statisticsof the country
collected and prepared by a body of
disinterested men removed from any
temptation to exalt the railway interests
on the one hand or belittle them on the
other. They have been arranged for
quick comprehension of their import-
ant features, and any man of ordinary
intelligence can readily learn from
their perusal what an enormous rail-
way system the country contains.
The total railway mileage at the date
at which the report closes was 176,461.-
07 miles, representing a stock capital of
$4,668,935,418, a funded indebtedness
of $5,225,689,821, and a floating debt of
$611,610,171, or a total capitalization of
$10,506,235,410. The railway employee
numbered 873,602; locomotives, 34,788;
passenger cars, 31,384; freight and other
cars, 1,242,562; passengers carried, 593,-
560,612; tons of freight carried, 745,119,-
482; gross earnings, $1,220,751,874; op-
erating expenses, $827,921,299; income
from rentals and all other sources,
$149,649,615; total deductions for rent-
als, interest and Other fixed expendi-
tures, $431,422,156; net income to be
applied to dividends and surplus, $111,-
058,034; dividends declared, $102,941,-
289. The revenues from passenger
service amounted to $501,491,816 ; car-
rying mails, $28,445,053; carrying ex-
press, $23.631,394, and from carrying
freight, 9832, 902,205. The other 9149,.
| 649,615 of income for the year was
chiefly derived from investments.
There are several important lessons
to be deduced from these ’fi‘gu'res.’ A
safe deduction from these facts would
seem to be thiitit would. be wise to
correct the worst evils Of railroad. man-

railways as objects of confiscation or

country is a new and mighty develop-

The Bethei Counterfeiters.
Russell B. Hoyt and John Davis,
alias J. W. Murphy, the. notorious
Bethel‘ counterfeiters, will be given a
hearing in the United States court room
in. New Haven next Wednesday after-
noon at 2 o’clock before United States
Commissioner William A. Wright. The
hearing is expected to be exhaustive in
disclosing the details of the case.
The men were taken to' New Haven
from New York about ten‘days ago and
lodged in the' jail in that city, where
they still remain. It was expected
when they were taken there that their
next trial would be before Judge Town-
send iu the United States court but it
seems that the case was not enquired
into in the hearing in New York except
to show that the arrest down there was
valid. .
The facts of the counterfeiting were
not gone into to any great extent and
the hearing before Commissioner
Wright has been appointed to get at all
the facts in the case. This was decided
upon by District Attorney McLeanof
Hartford, who held a consultation With
Commissmner Wright.
Word has been sent to the half dozen
or more secret service detectives who
worked on the case and replies have
been received that the detectives will
be ready on next Wednesday’to give
their testimony.
Lorenzo Hoyt, the brother of Bus-
sell, will be present at the hearing, but
only in the capacity of a witness._ It is
expected that he will give testimony
damaging to the accused. s '
It is likely that through him or some
of the other witnesses the government
will learn of the source of the mysteri.
ous paper of which the counterfeiters
intended to make their notes.
This paper is yet a mystery. It is a
close imitation of regular government
bill paper. A roll of it was found in
the counterfeiters’ den when they were
captured. It is suspected that some
state paper manufacturer had some-
thing to do with the making of it.
The two counterfeiters have not yet
engaged counsel, or, at least, it is not
believed that they ha\ 9.
United States Commissioner Wright,
when asked about the matter, admitted
that the hearing would take place Wed-
nesday, but he did not know who would
be counsel for the men. :
Murphy, or Davis, is a shrewd, able
fellow and he may conduct his own de-
ense. a
Amusements.
NORWALK OPERA, HOUSE.
Another large house last night saw
Rice’s Grand Opera House Stock Com-
pany in “Under Cover,” and were de-
lighted with a very fine performance.
So far this week all new and meritori-
ous plays have been produced, and the
company has not given us any worn out
plays. This attraction has an acting
company of fifteen, with an orchestra
of twelve, and their band, which is a
magnificent one, has seventeen in it.
It is rather surprising to hear a show
band and orchestra play such music as
“Tannhauser,” “William Tell,” etc.,
but this company does it and plays it
well. A special ladies’ matinee will be
given to-morrow at two o’clock by the
band and orchestra, for which a special
programme has been prepared and
which will be interspersed by solos and
singing and dancing by the different
members of the company. The admis-
sion has been placed at 10 cents to all
parts of the house. To-night the com-
pany will appear in a new 'play called
“Back Among the Old Folks.”
Pamllco Dead.
Pamlico the greatest trotting stallion
in America, with a record of 2:10, died
at Charter Oak park Wednesday of
colic. Pamlico was ten years old. He was
entered in the 2:11 class for to-day and
has started in 40 races since 1888. Pam-
lico was ovined jointly by W. P. Bachel-
der of Raliegh, N. C, and E. D. Spiers
of Lexington, Ky. He was valued at
830,000.
Serious TroubleExpected.
It is believed that serious trouble
will occur in Colonel Breckinridge’s
district before the present campaign is
ended. There was a threatening war of
words between the Colonel and one of
the men he had assailed in a street en-
counter yesterday.

It has been suggested that a stretcher

yesterday morning. On board were
Commodore Benedict and Dr. L. P.
Jones of Greenwich. At 9 o’clock the
Oneida steamed up the harbor and sent
both her steam and naptha launches
ashore to the New Haven Yacht club
house." All this was in accordance with
an invitation issued previously by
Banker E. C. Benedict to many promi-
nent politicians of Connecticut to at-
tend a “senator's’ outing.” .
The float of the club house was early
laden with the presence of many men
of political and social celebrityin this
state, who were rapidly transported to
the elegant steam yacht in theofiing.
There were in the party Senators
Marcus H. Holcomb, Southington;
Charles Coffey, Granby; Noble L.
Pierce, Bristol; Charles G. .Root. W9"

erick W. Holden, Ansonia; ;Timotl_iy J.

and George E. Keeney, Somers. Lieut.
Gov. Ernest D. Cady, of Hartford, was
also among the guests. The Oneida
remained in the harbor until 8 o’clock
last night and then returned wrth its
owner, the host, to GreenWich.
Shrewd Method.
The government representatives have
a shrewd method of locating where
cards are sold. They simply walk into
a store and ask for a pack of cards.
The obliging clerk displays the styles
he has for sale and then the official
quietly hands him a notice from Collec-
tor Sloan to send in the number of
packs of cards he has on hand. In
most cases the response is readily made.
Collector Sloane said to-day that he
was surprised to find playing cards in
so many different places. He says that
some of the merchants have from 10 to
5,000. The fine for selling playing cards
not bearing the stamp is $50 for each ,
pack sold. '
Collector Byxbee estimates that in
this district, which includes Rhode
Island as well as this state, there are
about 250,000 packs of cards which will
come with the law. Of this amount it
is estimated that there are 30,000 packs
in Hartford, 50,000 in New Haven and
30,000 in Bridgeport, while the remain-
der of the 140,000 in the state will be
found in the smaller cities and towns in
the state. It is estimated that Rhode
Island has 90,000 packs.
The revenue in this district from this
tax at the outset will be about $5,000.
The annual estimated revenue from the
factory output is anticipated at $1,500,~
000. '

For Road improvement.
‘ President Luscomb, of the League
of American Wheelmen, has issued the
following communication to chief con-
suls, directing their attention to the
road improvement work:
“The Executive committe of the L.
A. W. Will shortlytake measures for an
active campaign for highway improve-
ment and for general state laws pre-
venting cities and villages from enact-
ing special ordinances restricting the
rights of wheelmen.
As such legislation must be secured
in the state I write to ask if your divi-
sion will co-Operate with the National
Executive committee in the prosecution
of this work. If so, will you advise
me as soon as possible whether your
legislature meets and when you elect
Senators and Assemblyman? Also, in
which direction you deem such work
most judicious.
I am desirous that the league take
such active part in the cOming fall cam-
paign as will con‘vince representatives
in the Legislatures that the wheelmen
are sufficiently Organized and in such
strength as to command attention to
their reasonable demands from those
who make our laws.”

The Martin Craw-Estate.
It is reported that the appraisers have
not quite concluded their inventory of
the Martin Craw estate, upon which
they were at work yesterday, but
enough is already learned from family
and friends to show that the public es-
timate of the fortune he left, has been
entirely too large. It is now known
that his property, which is mostly per»
soual, will aggregate very little, if any-
thing, above $25,000. After his death,
the discovery was made that he had
somewhere near $6,000 in the Meriden
Savings Bank, and for which he had a
contract that the bank was to pay him
five per cent. interest. As he escaped
taxation here in Norwalk, this was a
very choice investment. His extreme
carefulness to thus place all his loans
so that the borrower should pay the
taxes as well as interest, no. doubt ac-
couns that so quiet and undemonstrative
a man, who never followed any business
other than saving his pence, should die
possessed 'of so large a sum even as
$25,000.

‘ Bridgeport’s Sea Serpent.
Once more the alleged sea serpent
has appeared off Bridgeport, this time,
according to Captain McNeil, as is
stated in yesterday’s Bridgeport papers.
The brave lighthouse keeper was not
attacked by the monster which ap-
peared to be about thirty feet long and
was not at all belligerent. “It had a
head fashioned after that of a horse
with an enormous mouth, tusks six
inches long, and a lengthy body. It
appeared between the lighthouse and
Seaside park. Mr. McNeil’s friends
try to tell him he saw a shark but he
stoutly affirms .he was not mistaken, it
was the sea serpent.

Fountain, drove to one of his swamp.
,lols at Grumman’s Hill, South Wilton,
after a load of swamp grass, andmet.
with an accident that caused his‘death.
The wagon was loaded, withthe swamp
grass, and Mr. Osborne got on top of
the load to drive to his barn. Foun-
tain started on ahead of the load, but
before doing so suggested to his father
that the load ought to be bound on.
Osborne thought it unnecessary, and
so Fountain wenton. When almost
home he 10oked back and saw that the
horse was running away. He then ran
back and succeeded in bringing the
animal to a stop.. A good part of the
load had fallen off. He discovered that
his father was not on the wagon, an
hitching the horse he went back to
look for him. After going some dis-
tance. he found a pile of the grass on
the ground, and_i_1_ude.r it his. father in
an unconscious condition. ‘ ;
He picked him up but before he
could do anything further the unfor-
tunate man was dead: Dr. Smith, who
lives near by, was summoned, and he
decided that death was caused by his
neck being broken.
It is believed that a part of the load
slipped off onto the horse,:causiug him
to .run away, throwing Osborne ofi‘,

the above fatal result. '
The deceased was quite well known
in town and besides his farm at Grum-

Those Who Knew.
The citizens of Milford met one night
this week for the purpose of discussing
the repair of the ,Indian River bridge
in that place. It was thought that the-
bridge should be; repaired but after
discussion and assurances from those
who knew, it was decided that no repair
was neoessiry and that the bridge was
strong enough. Then the wise citizens
adjourned. When they got out into
the open they learned that the Indian
River bridge had fallen just about the
time they were congratulating them-
needed upon it.
New Bridge at Hartford.
The State Bridge Commissioners who
have charge of the bridge across the
Connecticut between Hartford and East
Hartford have obtained the opinion of
three prominent lawyers that they may

was built in 1818, and has been con-
demned by five civil engineers as un-_
safe. It is the 'structure the acquire-
ment of which by the state caused the
legislative lobby scandal of 1893.

power to destroy all infectious microbes.
Even its "scent kills them,"while it is

It is said that the essence of cinnamon
