Good Local Government.

This has been an, ideal, day for our
Town and City elections. 'As a conse-
quence an unusuallyiheavy vote is be-
ing polled. Considerable scratching is
being indulged in, biitnot mOrc proba-
bly, than is ordinarilydone'in our an-
nual municipal contests. The saloon
issue has fOrc'edEa stimulating factor in
bringing tothe' polls, many of our in-
different and stay-at-home voters. It
is difi'cult however to now conjecture
wrth any degree of accuracy, whether
the license or no license cause, has
gained by this unusual swelling Of our
vote.

I There is one general cause of satis.
faction in the fact that all the names
for local offices on the three tickets
voted here to-day, with scarce an ex-
ception, are those of upright, honest
men, so that whoever may be-found to
be elected to-nig ht, Norwalk, town and
city, is sure to be creditably ofiE‘icered.
And may the best men win. -

Protection.

The Sun promptly and spiritedly an-
nounces that it does not desire the Lon-
don Times to be deceived on a question
of great importance, and therefore con-
firm by documentary evidence its
own suspicion that the Hon. William
L. Wilson was mistaken when he said
over there in England that “protection
had been overthrown” in America. In-
stead Of being mistaken, Mr. Wilson,
the Sun says, was simply telling what
is not so. The occasion on which he
told the truth was when he first laid
his Tariff bill before the House of Rep.
resentatives, saying, “This bill no more
professes to be purged of protection
than to be free from errors in details.
Great interests do exist whose existence
and prosperity it is no part of our re-
form to imperil or curtail.”

It seems to be adispensation Of Prov-
idence that theistate'smen who, in one
way or another, work up Mugwump
reputations for personal purity and

high character, are, as a rule, gentle;

men whose wordsh‘ad always better be
compared with their deeds, says the
Sun. . ,

. The Coat Fits Him.

The last issue of the vindictive Hour
furnishes the following confirmation of
the adage that it is the wounded bird
that flutters : ‘

“Last Saturday the GAsnTTE printed
an article signed ‘N0.6.’ The intent
was to lead readers to believe that the
article was written by a member— of St.
John‘s Lodge, No. 6. The fact is that
it was not written by a member of that

lodge. The conclusion is that the
GAZETTE resorted to forgery for the
purpose Of emphasizing a lie.”

The following innocent little commu-
nication, admitted to our columns, it
appears, is the stinging nettle that so
irritates the caloused cuticle of the
Hour editor: '

“THE CALLED JADE muons.”

MB. EDITOR : Would not the malig-
nant attack in .to-day’s Hour, made up-
on prominent Masons and Masonic in-
stitutions, come witha better grace
from a man who had not been publicly
expelled from the Masonicorder ?

No. 6.

It needed the Hour’s explanation
that the signature “NO. 6,” appended
to the above, was “intended to lead
readers to believe that the article was
written by a member of St. John’s
Lodge,” for the public to undel‘stand
its significance. The GAZETTE made
no such statement and was not author-
ized so to do, and is now 'indebted to
the editor Of the Hour'for' the permis-
sion we have, to state that the offending
article did emanate from a member of
St. John’s Lodge NO. 6, his denial of
the fact to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. Moreover, its author is-a Mason
who was never dismissed from his lodge
for the non-payment Of his dues or ex-
pelled from the ancient and honorable
order for abuse and slender of its
Grand Lodge. The communication
was inspired by the Hour editor’s
venomous assault in his paper that day,
upon the ofiicrsrs of the Grand Lodge
for their participation in the contem-
plated charity Of purchasing aHome
for aged and indigent brothers, an en.
terprise which was last week consum.
mated. For this “sweet charity,”
among other contemptuous things said
in his last paper, the expelled member
with accustomed malignity winds'up
with this: " '

“But when, in the place of charity
assessment is substituted, the Masonic
ideal is degraded, and Masonry has lost

all that has for ages made it a praise-
worthy institution.”

The Odd Fellows have such an asy-
lum for destitute brethren, on the banks
of the Thames, near New London, and
it is to , theyeverlasting credit of the
Masonic order that they are to have a
similar Home, born Of pity for their
needy brothers. at Wallingford.

. Disappeared.

.Lena Warner, a 13 379.1}1'201d ,Eas‘ton
girl, daughter Of George T. Warner, a
well-known Easton man, has suddenly
disappeared. She is said to be a pretty
prepossessing girl and attended the
public school at. Easton Centre. ‘

_ "Satiji'day'finght- Collision.
George Wood, living in New Canaan,
secured’ahorse and‘carriage at Lock-
wood’s stables in that place, Saturday

‘night, and‘driving to this city took a

young lady for a ride. About 9 o’clock

— he took 'her home and started fora

drive alone down West avenue. When
near Elm street he collided With Wal-
lace Crofutt’s two horse truck which
was coming up the avenue. The rows
of the collision threw the New Canaan
turnout into the gutter on the right
hand side of the road and the horse fell
and dragged the driver over the dash-
board into the street. Regaining his
feet the horse broke loose from the
carriage and ran at a mad pace through
Elm street. The driver escaped injury
and a friend happening to come along
in a carriage the partially wrecked
vehicle was hitched on to the other
turnout and taken to New Canaan.
The damage done was confined to a
broken whiffitree, a sprung wheel and
broken harness. The horse which sus-
tained a had cut on one of his legs was
taken home on Sunday. After the col-
lision the driver of the Crofut turnout
had-hard work in preventing his horses
running, in fact they did run some dis-
tance before he could bring them to a
standstill. The pole of the express
truck was snapped in two and the har-
ness somewhat damaged.

- Town Meeting.

A special town meeting was held Sat-
urday afternoon to take action in the
matter of authorizing the Selectmen to
construct a bridge across a creek at
Day street. South Norwalk.

R. H. Rowan was elected Moderator
and Town Clerk Smith read the call
for the meeting.

Engineer Briggs was present and ex-
plained that a 4-foot arch bridge could
be built at an expense of about $1,000 ;
and that a pile bridge would cost about
$300. .

A resolution was presented instruct-
ing the selectmen to construct a bridge
at a cost not in excess of $1,200.

The matter was discussed by Select-
man Raymond, J. R. Marvin, Select-
man Baker. Robert Pierson and others.

Messrs. Swartz and McMahon were
appointed tellers.

A vote was taken and it was found
that there were but 37 voters present.

affirmative votes, the meeting was ad-
j ouraed for two weeks, and the 37 voters
returned to South Norwalk.

Attempted Assassination.

An attempt was made Saturday night
upon the life Of Edward E. McGovern,
superintendent of the Yale & Towne
Lock Works, in Branford. McGovern
started for his residence in a team in
company with his coachman. About a
quarter of a mile from the railroad
station in Pine Orchard in a thickly
wooded section of the road a bullet
whizzed by MoGovern’s head. .

Almost immediately afterwards the
coachman saw a man start on a lively
run down the road. The team was
stopped and McGovern and his coach-
man attempted to capture the fellow.
It was quite dark and the wouldvbe
assailant was soon lost track of.

 

“And he Gnawed a File."

As predicted, Lockwood& 00., bosses
of the Grand Lodge, accomplished
their purpose to buy the property of
the Oneiua Community, at Walling.
ford, on Thursday, and the lodges con-
tributed to pay for it, St. J Ohn’s, NO.
6, contributing $215,00. The immense
building has 42 sleeping rooms. . There
are 88 acres Of land. The price is $17,-
500, and it will cost about $4.000 to put
the building in repair. When used for
a Masonic Home, there will be an an-
nual fixed expense of about $160 "ad-
ditional for each inmate—Hour.

 

His Bill Not Allowed.

Judge Simeon E. Baldwin has re-
fused to allow a bill of $89 of Sherifl‘
Clarkson for the transporation of
prisoners from the County Jail to the
Court House at the fall and spring
term of the Superior Court .civil side.
It has been the rule Of judges in the
past to allow similar bills. As it is over
a mile to the jail it would be no small
undertaking to walk the prisoners back
and forth from the jail undenguard.

 

Remarkable Surgical Experiment,

A wonderful surgical experiment has
just been performed on Edward Kerwin
of New Haven, whose back was broken

the vertebrae and wired the vertebrae
to keep them in place. Kerwm may

Little Rowayto’n Celebrates With
Cannon, Illuminations, Music,
Speeches, Banquet and Dance.

 

Her Union With the Greater, Nor—
walks in the Trolly’s Iron Bands.

Saturday night was a memorable one
for little Rowayton. Her citi-
zens turned out en masse to celebrate
the completion Of the Tramway com-
p'any’s line into her saline precincts.
Houses were illuminated, Chinese .lan-
terns galore swung to the evening’s
breezes, the Rowayton mortar
waked the echoes, while the good ladies
prepared a most appetizing banquet for
their invited guests. The Tramway
company adorned two of its excursion
cars with innumerable electric lights
on their tOps, sides, ends, beneath and
climbing from their roofs, up to the
trolley poles to the wires overhead.
These made a most brilliant and inspir-
ing appearance as they went gliding
from our city down through South
Norwalk to old—time Five Mile River.
From the Burchard ice house station,
red liehts were burned beside the tracks
at short intervals, into Rowayton
village, while lads mounted on the roofs
of each car were shooting ofi' fiery
Roman candles until the end of the
street, railway tracks were reached near
the dock and beside Guider’s ball.

A dense crowd was assembledin front
of the hall to greet the. arrival of the
gaily illuminated cars, packed With
incoming guests. On entering the
new and capacious hall, decorated With
stars and stripes, three tables were set
its entire length loaded with appetiz-
ing “goodies,” while the aroma of hot
coffee and hotter clam chowder, filled
the room and awakened the dormant
appetites of“ the hungry. guests, to the
highest pitch of expectation.

Captain Charles Bell was master of
ceremonies and soon had Messrs.
Golden, Frost, Hallock, Ferris, Keeler,
Mansfield and Light, up on the little
stage, where he put them on tap, for
short and pithy addresses. Mr. Mans-

“field responded for the Tramway Com-

pany and made the most important
speech of the occasion. He an-
nounced it as the intention of his com-
pany to push its lines to the Darien
depot of the ConSOlidated Railroad, in
the near future, and to then connect
with the trolley line now working east
from Stamford and soon in electric
cars to land Rowayton passengers into
New York.

Also, that the company had after due
consideration, fixed the fare from Row-
ayton to South Norwalk, at five cents.
This‘announcement was received by
tumultuous applause. B’r. Golden of
the Sentinel, responded for the pre‘ssun
a few words of hearty congratulation
at the auspicious event. Senator John
H. Ferris followed in a humorous vein
and ended, in serious expresswn of his
delight over Rowayton’s new and signi—
ficant awakening; said he was born
near the spot where he stood, forty
years ago. His father brought the first
s100p load of ten tons Of coal to Five
Mile River only thirty years ago and
this fall some three thousandtohs had
come up its short and pretty harbor.
Mayor E. O. Keeler Spoke enthusiasti-
cally of this new bond of union be-
tween Rowayton and the greater Nor-
walks. Col. Frost then made a bright
little speech full of congratulation up-
on Rowayton’s important success and
prosperity. Mr. Charles Hallock spoke
Of ancient Five Mile River and present
beautiful Rowayton, and predicted great
future growth and prosperity for_her
people. John H. Light, the “silver
tongued orator” as Capt. Bell chris-
tened him, shot off a bright flame Of
brilliant and congratulatory oratory,
which was heartily enjoyed. After this
feast Of reason, the flow of soul, coffee
and,clam-chowder,prevailed by a large
majority. Mayor Keeler again distin-
guished himself, as usual, at the ban.
quet board and when he could hold no
more, stated. to the audience that a
trolley car would leave Rowayton at
six o’clock Monday morning. to convey
its voters to the polls. This was re-
ceived with intense applause and was
followed by a still more heartily ap-
plauded statement from Capt. Bell that
Rowayton within all its borders had
not a single saloon.

At the conclusion of the banquet, the
tables were cleared and music and danc-
ing ended the delightful exercises With-
in the hall. At ten thirty, the two
illuminated trolley cars were lined up
in front of the hall and filled With N or-
walk and South Norwalk guests and
amid cheers and cannon firing soon
sped away, leaving little Rowayton still
in a blaze Of glory over her momentous
reawakening.

Followed Advice and Was Cured.

In speaking of Dr. David Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy Mrs. James E.Beach
of Rosendale, N. Y. says: “About sev-
en years ago I was a sufi'erer from kid-
ney disease, so sick and helpless. I
could not walk a step. My physician
could do me no goodyso I began to use
Dr, Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy, and
from the very first dose I could see im-
provement, and it entirely cured. My
husband used it for dyspepsia with ex-
cellent result. Favorite Remedy dis-
solves the exceSs of uric acid in the
blood thus curing disease. Most of the
ailments people suffer with, come from
acid in the blood. For instance, rheu-
matism, dyspepsia, kidney, liver and
urinary troubles, and the ills peculiar
to women, all arise from this cause,,and
are cured by Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite
Remedy.

Trolley Cars for Funerals.

A trolley’ car was used for funeral
purposes for the first time in this city
yesterday, says. the Bridgeport Union.
A car was chartered by a number of
mourners and was run behind the car-
riages from the lower bridge to St.
Michael’s cemetery. ‘

When the street railway system is
completed and the different cemeteries
will be within easy reach of the tracks,
the trolley car will undoubtedly bethe
popular funeral vehicle. The high rate
of carriage hire is oftentimes a hard—
ship tO persons of moderate means who
wish to pay the last mark Of respect to
a deceased friend and '-the- elimination
of the necessity of hiring a carriage will

 

be~~received?;with pleasiire by those. so ,

situated.

A Saloon Mobbed.
_ A gang of toughsstarted a small riot
in Bridgeport Sunday afternoon, which
ended in one of their number being
shot and six others locked up. The
gang was refused admission into a. saloon
on Knowlton street, and they bom-
barded the place with stones, breaking
the door and several windows. The
proprietor of the place retaliated by
shooting a revolver into the crowd,
aiming at no one in particular, but the
ebullet struck James MoEvoy in the
wrist. The wholg crowd was gathered
in by the police. ‘
A Bad Eye.

S. B. Wilson, the builder, visited
New York last week and on his return
got a Cinder in one of, his eyes. In Or-
der to alleviate the pain he applied
some Ponds extract, but as soon as it
touched the eye he experienced the
most excruciating suffering. He at
once sought a doctor who discovered
that the extract bottle had contained
turpentine. Mr. Wilson’s eye isquite
bad and the physician thinks it a mar-
vel that he did not lose hissight. '

Jay, it seems, has developed an exces-

his good mother, wishing to add to the
joy of the occasion, said he could go
down. to Starr’s and get a pound of his
favorite confection, to add tothe deco-
rations of his birthday table. He was
given the money and charged to'be
careful at the crossings, etc., when he
brightly suggested that the journey
would be a bit lonesome, and asked if
he might not take some of his expected
little playfellow guests down with him.
The mother more than readily assented
to this sensible plan. Master Jay sal-,
lied forth hap ier than ever and was
soon reinforce by little Leslie Suth-
erland, and then the twain espied mas-
ter Franklin Bishop, and he was "in~
Vited into the expedition. In a few
minutes the trio of tots were at Starr’s
and their pound of marsh—mellows pur-
chased, . and they homeward bound.
The return tripwas considerably de-
layed. On arrivmg home at last the
anxiousmother not seeing the object of
their trip enquired where their box of
mallows was. With an embarrassed
and half guilty look, Jay, like George
Washington, finally stuttered out that
they had stopped on the way home and
eaten up the whole poundl The next
anxiety was, over the ability of their
tender digestive powers to assimilate
so_ much corn starch and sugar, but at
this writing all three of the kids are as
well and ively as if their little stom-
achs had not been thus abused. But
the parents propose to do the marsh-
mallow purchase act, next year them-
selves.
The Hearing Adjourned.

A public hearing was had before the
Selectmen, Saturday afternoon, when
the application of the Norwalk Tram-
way Company to extend its. tracks
throughthe shore road fromWashington
stree bridge, First avenue and East

There wasa lively tilt between Presi-

beengiven of the call for the ,hearing
and it was adjourned for one week.

THE CATHOLIC CONTROVERSY.

 

A Suit which Will Air m secret History
In Open 00qu

NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-Suit for $100,000

dame. as for libel was be on against the
ublls ers of the New ork World by
aWyers Spelllsscy and Gray in behalf of

Michael Walsh, editor of The Sunday

Democrat and of The Catholic World.

Not only Are a number of the most
prominent members of the Catholic hier-
archy in AmeriCa to be called as witnesses,
but several prelates Connected with the
Vatican itself are to be examined under a
commission issued by the sapreme court
of this state.

The bitter controversy in part respons-
ible rthe appointment of Mgr. Satolll
as delegdte apostoliel and the secret his-
tory of Oh rgcs and counteroharges made
since are to be made public—the battle of
the occlesia‘stlcs is to be fought to a finish
in the open courts.

Lawyer J a‘ es A. Gray says that the
suit is based crtioularly upon this ex-
tract from an leged official document
published on Sep 25: ,

“Mgr. Corrigan was so much influenced
by his partisan spiillt that he did not heal-
tate on several occhslons to excite Walsh
to prosecute the priests who had signed
and to promise him all his influence with
the municipal legal authority in sustain-
ing, his charges. But Walsh probably
knew from some friend that certain of
these priests had in their possession the
proofs which showed him to be guilty of
forgery, and he could not be persuaded to
prosecute. ”
