Account‘ed For.
The Hon. Henry Seymour Sanford,
Mr. Hill’s only competitor fer the Con-
gressional nomination .~ at. Tuesday’s
convention, was born here in our beau-
tiful, wide-awake and growing town of
, Norwalk. Mr. Sanford’s only mistake
was in ever leaving us, even to practice
law in 5wickcd Bridgeport. "

Europeans in Trouble.
The Courant remarks that if any
faith is to lie-put in the dispatches now
arriving from China, a reign of anarchy
is setting there, and the lives of the
European and American residents—the
inland‘missionaries especially—are in
grave danger. Its a good thing we
have a few vessels with guns on them in
Chinese waters. Its a regretable thing
that we haven’t more of them.

An Estray Terrapin. _
William Tubbs, a few days since,
captured near the head waters of Gos-
ling Brook, on Prospect Hill, a baby
. Diamond Back, or Terrapin turtle, that
gourmands so highly prize, and which
sometimes sell at from eighty to one
hundred dollars a dozen for swell ban-
quet use. Charley Brotherton brought
the curiosity to the GAZETTE office, but
the mystery is how it came there and
where it came from. The most reason-
able theory is, that the mother turtle
crawled up from the harbor at Pine
Island, in the fresh water of Gosling
to deposit its eggs, as they are known
to do. The terrapin is, however, sel-
dom found north of the Delaware
capes.
Religious Liberality.
The New Yew Sun calls editorial at-
tention to some of the remarkable
_ things that occurred at the Unitarian
Convention at Saratoga last week.
When the Unitarians needed a meeting
place one day, a Presbyterian church
was put at their service.
There was another thing yet more
remarkable. On Thursday the Uni-
tarianConvention opened its doors to
two competent representatives of the
Catholic church, and listened respect-
fully to their discourses in defence of
Cathél‘ifoity, without making reply to
the arguments that were presented.
The paper of Judge Robinson, a Cath-
olic layman of Connecticut, which was
read, dealt with the dogmas and doc-
trines of his church, which he eluci-
dated for the instruction of the Uni-
tarians. In the clOsing passages of it
he showed how Catholics and Protest-
ants might work together in certain
lines of practical service, such as the
promotion of temperance, etc.
It is certainly a remarkable circum-
stance that a Catholic priest and a Cath.
olic layman were invited to address a
Unitarian Convention,er Catholicity
and Unitarianism are as wide as the
poles asunder.
We do not draw any inference from
the friendly intercourse of prominent
— ooo——~~
members of three divergent religious?
bodies at Saratoga. It is evident, how-
ever, that the clergy of the three forms
of faith can render mutual service, and
can profitably hold intercourse with
each other, free from contention.
Perhaps, in times to come, there will
be greater concord in Christendom than
there was in bygone ages or than there
is yet. This is the dream of the Pope
James—Wainwright Trial.
It was expected that some sense-
tional developments would bebrought
out if the suit brought by Miss Marie
Wainwright for an absolute divorce
from her husband, Louis James, the
actor, was brought into court, but
when the case was called yesterday, in
the New York Supreme Court, no one
appeared for the actress, and a dis-
missal was granted. Miss Wainwright
brought her action against Louis James
over a year ago, and when it came on
for trial he did not appear to defend it,
and she received a Judgment for divorce
against him by default. A few days
later the actor, asked that he be allowed
to have the default opened, as he had
a good defence. This was granted and
he interposed an answer to the com-
plaint of Miss Wainwright. The case
was then set down for trial.

Killed Himself in a Cemetery.
Joseph Artsberger, a cobbler at West-
ville. was found dead in St. La wrence’s
cemetery, Wednesday. afternoon. He
was lying across one of the graves with
a gun shot wound in his breast just
over the heart. Adouble barreled shot
gun lay on the ground beside the dead
man. He was (30 years of age. A letter
was found in the man’s clothing that
was written in German, stating that he
had decided to kill himself.
Wilton Depot Burglarized.
Burglars gained an entrance into
the depot at Wilton, Wednesday night,
by smashing in a Window. The money
drawer was bursted open and about fif-
ty pennies stolen. The thieves then
went into the Waiting-room and burst
off the cash drawer of a nickel-in-the-
slot telephone machine, and secured
$2.30. They ‘then went out of the depot
through the Same Window by which
they had entered. _. _ 3. -‘

in no immediate danger_of coming upon
the town for support, did not buy the
nomination at auction, as has hitherto
been the custom of Republican candi-
dates for defeat. * * * * The nomina-

the Republican brethren of the task.

believe, will prefer that their repre-

The Milford Election.
Milf 0rd Republicans are still talking
of Monday’s election and the exciting
scenes which occurred before the re-
count took place. The most exciting
episode in the whole proceeding was the
temporary loss of 100 ‘Republican bal-
lots, which were counted on the Demo.
cratic side. The majority of the citi-
zens there believe that Checker Broth-
Tomlinson, who counted the ballots in
the Democratic column, did so inno-
cently. Fred Tibbals who sat in the
ballot box and threatened to keep his
seat until doomsday unless there was a
recount is still the hero of Milford Re-

ular with the people at the first-off.
Then, too, the fact that Conrad Wied-
enhammer, well and favorably known
as ex-leader, insures the high character
of the productions it will render. The
business management could hardly be

Mr. Battle has charger)! the indictiizei..
department in the grand jury room, an i
the woman who visited him is Mrs. Just:
ita Rousell, a feather dealer of 217 Greene
street. ' Mr. Battle said that the iron: in
was a victim of police persecution. Some
time ago her mother, Mrs. Costello, was a
prisoner in the West Twentieth rtrcct sta-
tion. Mrs Rcuscll went to 3:0". lzrr out
on bail. Sergeant 'L‘yiich wax. in charge
of the desk. Mrs. Rousoll aircrward made
chars":v against him
The charges: were dismissed by the po‘
ice COlllIlllSSlOlJCPS, and afterward Maggie
Davis, a servant in the employ of Mrs.
Rousell, said that Mrs. nouscll had of-
fered her $25 to swear falsely against
Lynch. On this woman’s testimony Ser-
geant Lynch tried to have Mrs. Rousell
indicted.
He had her arrested for perjury. The
case passed into the hands of the grand.
jury last week and was dismissed. Dis-
satisfied with this, he tried again. _
He visited Mr. McManus for this purpose
yesterday, and the district attorney‘s office
refused to lay the matter before the grand
jury, for good reasons, Mr. McManus said.
It is since the failure of the sergeants to
bring police influence to bear on the case
that Mrs. Rousell has been hounded, as
she says, by the police.
In speaking of the case Mr. Battle said
today: "Mrs. Rousell told me that she
has of late been visited by men threaten-
ing her with arrest unless she ceased both-
erlng the police. She believed the police
at the bottom of it. I told her that the
district attorney would call the captain’s
attention to the - matter and have it stop-
ped if her accusations proved true.”
