This has been "an ideal day for our Town and City elections. As a conse- quence an unusually heavy vote is be ing polled. Considerablescratching is being indulged in, but not more proba- bly, than is ordinarily done in our an- nual; municipal contests. The saloon issue has forcedjta stimulating factor in bringing to the polls, many of our in- different and stay-at-home voters. It is diffcult however to now cenjecture With any degree of accuracy, whether the license or no license cause, has gained by this unusual swelling of our vOte. ‘ _ There is one general cause of satis- faction in‘ the fact that all the names for local offices on the three tickets vcted here to-day, with scarce an ex- ception, are those of upright, honest men, so that whoever may be found to be elected to-night, Norwalk, town and city. is sure to be creditably ofiicered. And may the best men win. , A Protection. The Sun promptly and spiritedly an- nounces that itjdoes 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 Tarifi' 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 a dispensation of Provu idcnce that the statesmen who, in one way or another, work up Mugwump reputations for personal purity and high character, are, as a rule, gentle- men whose words had 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 (lawn printed an article signed ‘NO. 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: ' “Tim CALLED JADE WINOES.” MR. EDITOR : Would not the malig- nant attack in to-day’s Hour, made up- on prominent Masons and Masonic in- stitutions, come with a better grace from a man who had not been publicly expelled from the Masonic order ? 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 understand 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 slander of its Grand Lodge. The communication was inspired by the Hour editor’s venomous assault in his paper that day, upon the officers of the Grand Lodge for their participation in the contem- plated charity of; purchasing a Home 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 any-3 'lum for destitute brethren, on the banks of the Thames, near New London, and it is to the everlasting credit of the Masonic order that they are to have a similar Home, born of pity for their needy brothers. at Wallingford. 0' Disappeared. Lena Warner, a 13 year-old Easton 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. ’ ~.—.———- Saturday "Night Collision. George Wood, livinginNew Canaan, secured a horse 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 for a 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. Thedriver escaped Hilary and a friend happening to come a ong 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 whiflitree, a sprung wheel and broken harness. The horsewhich 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 the did run some dis- tance before he con (1 bring them to a standstill. The pole of the express truck was snapped in two and the har- ness somewhat damaged. .0..__—.———_.—- , Town Meeting.

R."Casselberry of New York removed from the superior court of this county to the United States court, district for Connecticut. The motion was opposed by Stoddard, Bishop and Shelton, attorneys for Mrs. Burnham. Stevenson, Bartlett and Douglas represented Casselberry’s in- terest. .Judge Thayer granted the motion or petition and the case will now be tried in the United States dis- trict court for Connecticut. The case is that over the valuable Campo estate in Saugatuck. The pro- perty is worth over $100,000. It is owned by J R. Cassclberry. Mrs. Burnham holds a mortgage on the pro- perty of $40,000 and has brought suit to foreclose. ‘ Attempted Assassination. An attempt was made Saturday night upon the life of Edward E. McGovern, superintendent of the Yale & Towns 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 McGovern’s head‘t ' Almost immediately after wards the ccachman 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 would-be assailant was soon lost track of. Q “And he Gnawed a. File."

The immense building has 42 sleeping rooms. There are 88 acres of land. The price is $17,— 500, and it will cost about 34.000 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 under guard. Remarkable Surgical Experiment. Awonderful surgical experiment has just been performed on Edward Kerwin of New Haven, whose back was broken by a fall Thursday. Dr. W. W. Haw— kes of the hospital found the vertebrae separated by an inch, also the cartilage lacerated and a profuse hemorrhage.

Her Union With the Greater Nor— walks in the Troliy’e iron Bands. Saturday ni ht was a memorable one for little owayton. Her citi- zens turnedout en masse to celebrate the completion of the Tramway .com- pany’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 1i hts were burned beside the tracks at a ort 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 hall. A dense crowd was assembledin front of the hall to greet the arrival of the gaily illuminated cars, packed w1th 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 cofi'ee and better 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, Kecler, Mansfield and Light, up on the little stage, where he put them on tap for short and pithy addresses. Mr. ans- 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 pressin a few words of hearty congratulation at the auspicious event. Senator John H. Ferris followed in a humorous vein and ended in serious expression 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 thousand tons had come 11 its short and pretty harbor. Mayor . O. Keeler spoke enthusiasti- cally of this new bond of union be- tween R'owayton 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 011' ii. bright flame of brilliant and congratulatory oratory, which was heartily enjoyed. After this ,feast of reason, the flow of soul, coffee and clam-chowder,prevaile_d by a large majority. Mayor Kceler 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'w1th Nor- walk and South Norwalk guests and amid cheers and _cannou firing soon Sped away, leaving little Rowayton still in a blaze of glory over her momentous reawakeniug. 00 Followed Advice andWas 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 sufferer from kid- ney disease, so sick and helplees I could not walk a step. My physician could do me no ood, so I began to use Dr, Kennedy’s avorite 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. ' . .‘ Troilev Cars for Funerals. A trolley car was used for funeral purposes for the first time in this city yesterday, says the Bridgeport Union. Acar 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 be the 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 pleasure by those so situated. 9 TO Visit Milford.

The pastor stated that within six weeks five persons had been taken from the society by death—Burr 0s- borne, Mrs. D. Osterbanks, Mrs. Ellen Miller and James L. Ambler.

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 bullet struck James McEvoy in the wrist. The whole crowd was gathered in by the police. _‘g.’ 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 is quite bad and the physician thinks it a mar- vel that he did not lose his sight. —-<-.->———— Congressional Convention.

Young as he was, he developed on that occasion such characteristics as in his future life . should bring him fame and fortune. Jay,‘itseems, has developed an exces- sive fondness for marsh-mallows, - and 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 to the deco- rations of his birthday table. ' He was given the money . and charged to be careful at the crossings, etc, when' he bright] suggested that the journey would 6 a bitlonesome, and asked if he might not take some of his expected little playfellow guests down with him. to this sensible plan.’ Master Jay sal- lied forth hap for 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 afew minutes the trioof. tots were at Starr’s and their pound of marsh-mallows pur- chased, and they homeward bound. The return trip was considerably de- layed. On arriving home at last the anxious mother 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 s'tuttered out that they ha stopped on the way home and eaten up the whole pound! The next anxiety was over the ability of their tender digestive powers to assimilate so_ much corn starchTau'd sugar, but at this writing all three of the kids are as well and iver as if their little stom- achs had not been thus abused.

In Open Court. NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-Snlt to:- $100,000 damages for libel was begun against the publishers of the New York World by Lawyers elllssey and Gray in behalf of Michael ‘alsh, editor of The Sunday Democrat and of The Catholic World. , . Not only are a number of the most prominent members of the Catholic liter- archy in America to be called as witnesses, but several pralatesl connected with the Vatican itself are to be examined under a commission issued by the supreme court of this state. The bitter controversy in part respons- ible for the appointment of Mgr. Satolii as delegate apostoiiih and the secret his. tory of‘charges and countercharges made since are to be made public—the battle of the ecclesiastlcs is to be fought to a finish in the open courts. Lawyer James A. Gray says that the suit is based particularly upon this ex- tract from an alleged official document published on Sept. 25: . “Mgr. Corrlgan was so much influenced by his partisan spirit that he did not basil tate on several occasions 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 know from some friend that oertain'of these priests had in their possession the forgery, and he could not be persuaded to prosecute. ” _ A GIGAN'I‘IC PAPER DEAL. An English Syndicate to Buy Fifty of Our' Paper Anal Pulp Mills. MILWAUKEE, Oct. 1.--A special to The Wisconsin from Appleton says: The greatest syndicate deal since the purchase or the American breworfes by English capitalists has just been concluded. and ‘unless something unforseen o‘ccursall the paper and pulp mills on Fox" river will pass into the hands of an English syndi- cate on April 1. Every paper and pulp maker on Fox river has signed a contract giving option on all mills, machinery, water rights, leases and other property. giro option is good for six months from ct. 1. ~ The properties involved in the deal in- clude 29 paper and 21 pulp mills, situated along Fox river for a distance of 25 miles.- The value of these plants is estimated at $10,000, 000. The daily product when run to the normal capacity amount to 1, 300 miles of paper in a. sheet 60 inches wide and 300 tons of pulp. The value of the product is about $50, 000 daily. The terms of the option provide that the value of the plants be reckoned on a basis of actual cost of mills and machinery and present value of water rights and leases and the earning. capacity of the mills as shown by past business records. The pay- ment of the properties is to be half cash and half in three your notes to be secured by mortgages on the mill and power. The ,deal Was worked up by Frank Butter» worth of Chicago.
