Fourth Congressional District.

The GAZETTE has been to the‘pains of
making a very thorough canvas of the
strength of» the real and supposed can-
didates for a Republican nomination
for Congress, in this District, and finds
Norwalk, as in many other matters, to
be very decidedly in the lead.
. On the Democratic side, the nomina-
tion by cussom and usage—that unwrit-
ten law the most likely to be observed
—and by the general desire of that
party, will fall again to Hon. Robert E.
DeForest, of Bridgeport, our present
Representative in Congress. He stands
well with his party, and has been un-
usually attentive and faithful to the
needs and calls of his district. He is
an able debater and graceful speaker,
while exceptionally friendly and win-
ing in personal attributes and inclina-
tion. He is going to be a difficult can-
didate for any Republican to defeat in
this fall’s election, as his “strongest
weakness” is his tariff heresies. It is
true that Mr. E. O. Benedict’s name
has been frequently mentioned as a
possible successor to Mr. DeForest,
and no doubt a brief residence in
Washington would be pleasing both to
himself and his close friend, President
Cleveland. But Mr. Benedict is too
much of a gentleman and too little of
a politician, to root DeForest out of his
own legitimate succession, without the
latter’s hearty acquiescence, which is
not likely to be given, even by the be-
stowal upon him by the President, as
has been suggested, of afar more lu-
crative and’distinguished foreign mis-
sion. Therefore it may safely be relied
upon that Mr. DeForest is again to be
the Democratic Congressional nominee.

As to Republican contingencies, the
list of candidates has, within the past
few days, largely diminished. Green-
wich, Stamford, South Norwalk, Dan-
bury, Fairfield’and Stratford, in this
County,will present no candidates as at
one time expected. Bridgeport, with
its usual efiusiveness, is reported as
likely to urge the nomination of ex-
Postmaster Knowlton, and also ex~
Speaker Paige, and thus with the same
masterful strategy its delegates exhi-
bited at the State convention, knock
out both its candidates.

In Litchfield county, there seems to
be a generous disposition, in many
towns, to accord the nomination this
year, to Fairfield county. Hon. Henry
S Sanford, a concededly able and
strong man, has many friends who are
earnestly working to secure the prize
for him, but he is thought to be fatally
handicapped by the prevalent feeling
in his County, that justice and fair
play alike, dictate Fairfield county to
be entitled to name the candidate this
year. So, that the condition, as it stands
to-day, clearly and unmistakably points
to “Norwalk’s Favorite Son,” Hon. E.
J. Hill, as the sure winner of the Re-
publican Congressional nomination at
Bridgeport, on Tuesday next, Oct. 2d.
And may the best man win.

 

Business and Trade.

The best guage of business is the
bank clearings and while there is an
improvement over last'year the clear.
ings are far below the figures of 1892.
The volume of domestic business re-
flected in clearings is for the month 9
per cent larger than forEthe same weeks
last year, but 25.2 per cent less than in
1892. The level of prices for commo-
dities of all sorts is not 3 per cent lower
than a year ago. Foreign trade does
not yet answer expectations, exports
from New York for the month thus far
being $3,700,000, or 23 per cent less than
last year, while imports from this port
are $2,200,000 or 18 per cent larger. The
treasury has taken in from customs in
three weeks about $11,700,000 against

' $8,900,000 last year, but only $3,200,000
from internal taxes against $8.100,000
last year. Its gold balance has been
somewhat helped by the interior de.
mand for small notes. It will this be
seen that these three weeks under the
new reform tariff bill have brought less
revenue, even during a rush of imports
than were derived from the McKinley
law last year during the panic. The
revenues for the past three weeks have
been about one half what they will need
to average, in order to meet the regu-
lar expenses of the. government.

The large increase of bank loans in
New York last week clearly indicates,
however, a nibvement and an improve-
ment in. business conditions. When
the vast volume of money so long
boarded, again gets into the hands of
the people, its general circulation must
of necessity improve business.»

Obituary.

JAMES L. AMBLER.

The sudden death at his home in New
York, of this well known former native
and fellow citizen of Norwalk, caused a
painful shock and sense of personal loss
to his many warm friends here. Mr.
Ambler was born in' Norwalk in 1838,
his father, Aaron Ambler, being at the
time a noted carpenter and builder of
the town. His early school _boy days
were spent here up to the time of his
entering the dry goods store of the late
Eli B. Bennettt as a clerk. Here he
served faithfully for several years. He
afterward entered the large Eighth
avenue dry goods house of the late
George Keys as a leading _ salesman.
He imbibed the patriotic spirit which

ved so many of the noblest and best
3)?) our Northern boys, to enter the
army, and enlisted in the 28th Regt.
Ct. Vols., and served throughout the
war, having been once severely wound-
ed in battle. He after the close of the
war, formed a copartnership with his
fellow clerk at the Bennett store, the
late Sylvester Van Hoosear, and for
several years, the firm conducted in the
GAZETTE Building the leading dry
goods business of l orwalk. He was an
earnest and active member of the Nor-
walk Baptist church, and" of Bucking-
ham Post, G. A. R., during his later
Norwalk residence. He was especially
devoted to his church, its choir, its
Sunday school and various interests,
and his zeal for these duties, it was
often remarked by his friends, led him
to devote much time that could illy be
spared from his business. He was of a
kindly and generous nature and what-
ever his errors of judgment, no one
ever doubted his pure Christain life or
his honesty of purpose. Before going
to New York, he was greatly overcome
by business reverses, the critical illness
of his wife, and greater than all, by the
crushing sorrow in the loss of an only
daughter, of exceptional beauty and
charm of person and character. His
remains were brought to Norwalk this
noon, and interred beside his so deeply
mourned child in Union cemetery. He
leaves a widow and two grown sons and
many, many friends to sincerely mourn
his unexpected departure.

“But when a good man dies

For years beyond our ken

The light he leaves behiiid him lies
Upon the paths of men.”

MRS. ELIZABETH READMAN.

This estimable woman, the wife of
Mr. F. E. Readman, after months of
intense suffering which she bore with
uncomplaining fortitude, passed from
the pains and sorrows of earth to her
eternal rest, at four o’clock Sunday
morning at her home, No. 22 Wilton
avenue. The best possible eulogy that
can be piid this departed wife and
mother is to say that in every respect
and in the highest sense of the words—
she was a noble natured, true and thor-
oughly good woman. Peace and Rest
be her recompense.

Q

A Pretty Wedding.

The Sweedish colony at quiet and
pretty Georgetown, nestled up in the
sequested valley of “Sugar Hollow,”
was all in a flutter Saturday evening,
over a pretty little wedding ceremony
which took place at the comfortable
cottage of Mr. Samuelson, brother of
the happy groom. The joyous pair
made one, were Miss Matilda Carolina
Ondalh, a resident of Norwalk, and
Mr. Samuel Alfred Samuelson of
Georgetown. The bride and groom
are natives of Skeninge,‘Sweeden, but
expect to make Georgetown their per-
manent home as the groom is an es—
teemed employee of the Gilbert &
Bennett 00. wire works. The marriage
was performed at eight o’clock, by their
worthy pastor, Rev. Mr. Nordlund, of
the Georgetown Sweedish Lutheran
church. The bride was the recipient
of many valuable presents from Nor-
walk and other friends, and of congra-
tulations numberless and sincere. May
their lines be cast in pleasant places, in
this new world, and they live to have
children and children’s children, rise
up and call them blessed.

Abandoned on a Train.

Passengers on the New Haven ex-
press arriving in the Grand Central
Depot at twenty-nine minutes to nine
o’clock last night disembarked without
noticing a little white bundle tucked
carefully out of sight under the rear
seat in the last car.

Edward Cummings, a car cleaner,
going through the vacant train half an
hour later, heard a baby’s. cry, and
found an infant in the bundle. The
little stranger was barely a month old
and a pretty, golden haired boy.

At the police station in the depot the
baby was carefully but unsuccessfully
looked over for clews to its identity.
Its cloak was new, white and costly,
and its undergarments were of fine
material.

Conductor Charles Gillespie, who
was in charge of the New Haven ex-
‘press, could give no explanation of the
baby’s presence. The train after leaving
Stamford stops only at Greenwich and
Mount Vernon, at both of which towns
several women carrying babies boarded
the cars. ‘

Huried At The Archbishop.

' While Archbishop Corrigan was tak-
ing part in the ceremonies connected
with the laying of the cornerstone of
St. Joseph’s German Roman Catholic
Church, in East Eighty-seventh street,
between avenue A and First avenue,
New York, yesterday afternoon, a
potato which had been hurled by some
one on the south side of the street
struck His Grace lightly, and fell to
the ground within a few feet of the spot
where he was standing. *

Whether the person who hurled the
potato intended to injure the Arch-
bishop is nct known. It camcwhizzing
over the heads of spectators, many of
whom saw it and got out of its way,
and so it caused no damage. Arch-
bishop Corrigan was apparently not
disturbed by the incident, but there
was great indignation among the three
thousand persons who had gathered to
Witness the ceremonies conected with
the laying of the cornerstone.
Tne police have not succeeded in

 

locating the person who threw the
missile. ,

 

 

—It;*~is' always. opening day with The'j
D. M.*‘Read Co. of Bridgeport. So
much in their store thatit is hardly

.possiible T'tosee it all with one day, or

perhaps only a few hours to see it in.

It is not so long ago that the average
woman was distinctly of the opinion
that the gown, cloak or other garment
that she might need could only be ob-
tained in New York.

All that has changed now. And prob-

. ably The D. M. Read Co. have had as

much to do with bringing about the
change as any firm in the county ; more
perhaps. -
N 0 longer do people visit New York
for the latest things in wearing apparel,
fabrics, or in fact, any of the goods
ordinarily found in large dry goods
houses. They visit the D. M. Read
Go. instead.

The D. M. Read Co. is in love with
its business, and is interested in its
patrons. N o pains is spared to lay be-
fore the latter the choicest and most
inviting goods in every line, the latest
design and the most trustworthy in
weave.

The Dress Goods Department, com-
ing in by the Fairfield Avenue entrance,
is the first to demand attention.

It is this department that first and
most attracts and holds the attention of
Women shoppers. An artistic arrange-
ment of the goods with due considera-
tion for color, effects and combinations,
adds to the general efi'ect. ~ ,

The Cloak Department contains one
of the largest assortments of garments
in Connecticut. There are some es-
sentially different styles in Cloaks and
Capes this season, nearly everything
being worn much longer than last sea-
son. This firm is sendipg out new cat-
alogues of garments for winter wear.
if you have not receivcd one, send
them a postal and they will respond.

The Carpet Department contains a
display that is little less than bewilder-
ing. Choice designs in colorings in
Moquettes, Brussels, Tapestries, etc.
This firm is the sole agent for the pro-
duct of the Read Carpet Co.

This year special attention has been
paid to the department devoted to
childreus’ outfits. In every requisite,
the little "peoplecan be refitted to per-
fection. A full line of pretty coats and
hats to match will be inspected ‘by
every fond mother.

The domestics will be found in the
basement. What is most approved in
table linen and lunch sets is shown.
There are blankets, eiderdown quilts,
comfortables and an endless variety of
wash goods.

The Crockery Department has never
before been in such a condition of com-
pleteness.

The Mail Order Department, which
is one of the latest added, is in a thriv-
ing Condition. Try it.

 

Bridgeport’s Ratification Meeting.

The ratification meeting to be held
in Bridgeport, Sept. 25, by the State
League of the Republican clubs, will
be a big afi’air. There will be a busi-
ness meeting of the State League at
the Park City Opera House at 3 p. m. ;
ashort parade through the principal
streets at 7 p. m., and in the evening
there will be addresses by the candi-
dates of the Republican party on the
State ticket and members of the State
league, songs by Glee club and instru-
mental music.

A Weii Earned Vacation.

Rev. Mr. Watkins leaves us to-mor-
row for a five week’s vacation. His
party consists of Mrs. Watkins and lit-
tle Miss Mary, Mrs. Paige, Mrs. Hutch.
ins and her son Mr. Lee Hutchins,
and the little grand-daughter Mildred
Rogers. They go by rail direct to
Westport in the Adirondack region and
from thence by stage to Elizabethtown,
where they are to sojourn in this grand
Switzerland of America. May they all
have a joyous trip and safe return.

The Hatters Win. .

The one thousand five hundred hatters
of Newark,who have been on strike for
two weeks, are out yet, but four of the
largest firms in the city took back their
hands this morning at the scale of wages
for which the men have been holding
out. These firms are Wheeler & Rus-
sell, George Hyde, Bernard Daly, and
A. Fisch. The strikers say that the
strike is virtually broken, as the smal-
ler firms and the remaining large firm,
the Mercys’, will have to give in.
«Oh——

The Right Spirit.

The bright Ansonia Sentinel very
truly‘says :——“_It would be as well for
the political orators in the coming cam-
paign to remember that personal abuse
is not argument, and that attacking
the personal traits of the opponent
wins no votes for the side of the at-
tacking party. Certain things were
said at the Hartford convention which
might better have been left unsaid.”

,‘Mr. Judge to be Ordained.

The Rev. Joseph A. Judge, acting
pastor of the Rowayton Baptist church,
about whom so much has been said
because of his attitude to Roman Ca-
tholicism, has been unanimously asked
by his parishioners to become ordain-
ed,.and on Thursday he will go to Step-
ney to be examined for that purpose.

 

 

 

 

 

Their Flap: Stolen.

The flag, which is the annual gift of
the Rev. B. E. Warner, to the Seven-
teenth Connecticut Volunteers, has
been stolen from Barlow’s Knoll, Get-
tysburg, and there is no clue to the
thief. Secretary Wade, of the Associ-
ation, Will replace the flag immediately.

State Politics.

The Hartford Times pays a perhaps
unintentional compliment to Mr. Cof-
fin, the new candidate for Governor,
when it says, “he was formerly a demo-
crat, but left that party to become a
republican.” -

More Politics.

The name of Mr. Robert Van Baron
is being discussed as a very desirable
candidate either for State Senator or
Representative on the democratic ticket
this fall. ‘

‘ ’ .. Masonic. _ -.~ __
“The-corner stofié’bf Hartfb‘r‘d’s‘ new
Masonic Temple .was laid on Saturday.
Past Master George H. Hebard made
the address. Among other things he
said: “The organized life of ,Masonry"
inHartford began with the" institution
of St. J ohn’s lodge or as it was called
at that time, Hartford lodge. Its
charter was dated March 21, 1762 and
came from the hand of Jeremiah Grid-
ley.of ‘Boston, then acting under the
Jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of
England with the title of “Provincial
Grand Master of the Ancient and Hon-
orable Society of Free and Accepted
Masons in North America.” As fees
for. the warrant, granted, two guineas
were sent to the Grand Lodge at ‘Bos-
ton and three to'that in London. The
brethren were also admonished to dine
together on each recurring feast of St.
John’s Day a custom long observed
but now fallen into disuse.”

Refering to the many historic names
on its records, he further said : "Look-
ing cver the old records the eye dwells
With pleasure and interest on the chi-
rographyof Joel Barlow, one of Amer- .
ica’s earliest poets - Governor Oliver
Wolcott, who signedthe Declaration of
Independence on' behalf of’this state;
SamuelG. Goodrich, better known as
Beter Parley; Henry C. Deming, the
silvery tongued orator ; Gideon
Welles, the Secretary of the Navy dur-
ing the Civil war ; Governor Marshall
Jewell, whose memory is still green
with us; Thomas 'H. Seymour, the
courteous and knightly soldier, govern-
or and diplomat, and a host of others.”

Shot His Son.

BranchVille was the scene of a shooting
afi‘air Sundayrin which a young Hun-
ga‘rian was'seriously wounded, by being
shot by his father, Ferdinand Walko,
and that the wound is not fatal Was
through no fault of the father. '

There had been had blood between
both men, who are employed at the
Gilbert dz Bennett wiro mills at George-
town, the mother taking sides with the
.son in the trouble.

Saturday lnight, Ferdinand Walko
went home and“ found his wife absent,
and learned thatshe had gone to the
home of her son.» He nursed his wrath
until morning and then went after her.
She refused to return with him, and he
made dire threats on her life, when the
son interfered, and for a while there
was a war of words, when suddenlY
both men pulled their pistols and aimed
to kill, but the father was the quicker
of the two, and "fired first. The son
dropped to the ground, and the father
made good his escape.

A physician was summoned, who pro-
nounced the wound as not of a danger-
ous character. ,

V O “A
No License.

Rev. Dr. Noble last evening repeated
his discourse preached a week ago at
South Norwalk, in favor of no license
for Norwalk. His text was Esther 12:
8th.——‘ ‘And the drinking was according
to law.” He made an earnest appeal
that men of all political parties should
attend their party caucuses and see to
it, that only men who would faithfully
execute the laws,;were’ selected for of-
fice and that beautiful Norwalk should
not longer be guilty of legalizing the
saloon.
residence here more drunken men had
gone reeling pastthe church parsonage
than he had ever seen in all his four-
teen years residence in the great and
wanton city of San Francisco.

Small Crop of Divorce Cases.
The fall cr0p of divorce cases is not
as large as usual. Lawyers say that
Judge G. W. Wheeler is a hard judicial
to try divorce proceedings before. It

the evidence furnished in divorce cases
must be given by disinterested persons,
not relatives. He almost always re-
fuses to refer a divorce case to. a com-
mittee—believing that it is for the public
good that such cases should be heard
in open court.
