Banks and Newspapers.

In view of the many phases of the
recent financial depression to which the
rensational portion of the newspaper
press contributed, by thecirculation of
all the rumors, groundless or otherwise
sot afloat about business'firms and cor-
porations, such rumors often bringing
in their train disaster that might have
been averted, is it not to be wondered
at that the influence of the newspaper
press upon financial conditions should
becomea principal topic at the Bankers’
Convention in Baltimore. As one of
the Speakers declared, the experience
of 1893 showed that that influence
.might be properly classed as a mixed

blessing. . .
The panicky conditions of that period

are still more fresh in the minds of
the bankers who were put to their wits’
end to prevent unnecessary and disas-
trous runs upon their institutions than
in those of the general public. As this
is the first opportunity the bankers
have had to confer with each other and
discus the subject in its various bear-
ings since the restoration of financial
confidence, it is most natural that pub-
lic attention should be directed to the
especial evils of sensational journalism
in panicky seasons.

In such a discussion the bankers must
take the initiative or it Will not be
entered upon, but the bankers are no
more interested in the suppression of
false, sensational and dangerous rumors
about banks and other financial institu-
tions than the general public. An un-
necessary panic brings disaster to de-
pos1tors iasiwell as stockholders and di-
rectorsp‘and‘ there are a good many
more depositors than holders of bank
stock. The entire community will be,
the gainer if any way can be devised

' ‘to prevent the circulation of‘false and

sensational reports of this kind.
Unfortunately, the journals which
thrive by such sensationalism are not
amenable to any considerations of pub-
lic safely. They recognize no interest
at stake except that of increasing their

'jjfl‘sales, and in seasons of panic a panic:
’ breeding sheet sells the most readily.
.,..They have no place in legitimate jour-

nalism, but they do and will die-
credit the high calling of journalism,
besides bringing business "disaster to
banks and community alike. If the
bankers could devise some way of sup-
pressing these Ishmaels of the press or
compelling them to abandon their ly—
ing practices, no calling would be more
benefitted than that of journalism it-
self.

The lying fakes that go out from
Norwalk to the metropolitan press are
specimens of this mischievous and de-
graded journalism.

The Daily News was the only paper
in town yesterday to announce the
nomination .of DeForest for Congress.
—N ew s.

The News is entirely too decent a
looking paper to utter such a “whOp-
per” as the above. Thc'GAZETTn had
its special reporter at the DeForest
convention and in less than five minutes
after his nomination a full report of
the doings of the convention was tele_
phoned to the GAZETTE, and it appeared
in this paper as fully reported as in the
News.

Commissioner Olney Accused.
Comptroller Staub has instituted suit
on" behalf of the , state against Hon.
Jeremiah Olney, commissioner of the
school fund, to recover $50,000. The.
suit is returnable Nov. 4. Mr. Olney’s
property in Hartford and at Thompson
was attached yesterday. The complaint
alleges that Commissioner Olney has
exacted a commission of 1 per cent. on
all loans by the school fund for many
years, the total amount received by
him being over $40,000. This is in
- violation of the statute which prohibits
a state ofiicer receiving anything but
his salary. It is alleged that the com-
mission was corruptly converted by
Mr. Olney to his own use. Comptroller
Staub alleges that Mr. Olney has made
loans at 1 per cent. more than the face
of the mortgage shows, and that he has
continued to convert this one per cent.
to his own use. ~'1‘he suit is understood
to be the result of investigation made
by ex—senator Charles F. Thayer of
Norwich, as the agent of Comptroller
Steub. Commissioner Olney declines
to make any statement of more than a
general denial. It is rumored that Mr.
Staub will ask Gov. Morris to suspend
Mr. Olney from office pending the trial
of the suit. ‘ .
That Orchard Street Dog: .
Yesterday afternoon a number of Miss
Baird’s pupils were out for a walk, ac-
companied by a Newfoundland dog.
When the party were near E. J. Hill’s
residence on West avenue, ayoung lady
came along on a bicycle, and the dog
started after her and grabbed her by
the dress, forcing her to dismount.
Just then a young man came along, also
mounted on a "bike,” and the dog
turned his attention to him. and gave
chace down the avenue, but did not
succeed in catching him. - This same
dog has bitten several persons. He is
a nuisance and ought to be killed.

York, the Culprit.

Formerly Attended School at the
Norwalk Military institute.

Yesterday afternoon as livery man
George S. Gregory was out drivmg he
was stopped by a well-dressed stranger
who offered to sell him a horse and car-
riage which he was .drivmg. Mr.
Gregory alighted from his carriage and
examined the stranger’s turnout. On
inquiring the price he was told that an
offer of 3125 had been made for the
turnout. fhe stranger’s actions made
Mr. Gregory suspicious and he con-
cluded to have the matter investigated.

thought he knew a party who would
buy the rig provided there was a com-
mission in it for him. The stranger
consented and was induced to drive to
East Norwalk and place the turnout in
Mr. Gregory’s stable. As soon as the
horse was uuhit-ched and placed in a
stall Mr. Gregory ordered it led, and
then taking the young man in his buggy
drove to South Norwalk. He lel't'his
team on Washington street in care of
the stranger, making the excuse that
he did not care to drive near tire care.
He then walked around to police head-
quarters and related the story to Chief
Vollmer. The latter instructed him to
return to East Norwalk with the
stranger and tell him that the intended
purchaser would be over to look at the
team in about an hour. The Chief then
took atrolley car and followed them.
When the car reached the stable the
Chief alightdd and holding a piece of
paper in his hand walked into the office
where Mr. Gregory and the stranger
sat talking. Walking up to the former
the Chief enquired if anyone had
brought a bay horse there- He was in-
formed that the only bay horse that
did not belong there was one that the
stranger had brought. The Chief in
company with the others walked out to
the horse’s stall and taking the paper
the oflier appeared to make a compari-
son. After closely looking over the
animal the Chief turned to the stranger
and told him that the horse answered
the description of a stolen one that he
was looking for.

The man laughed and seemed .to_
5think it a good joke. and told the Chief
that he was a cigar drummer from New
Haven and the horse was his property.
This did not satisfy the officer and he
arrested the man and took him to pc-
lice headquarters.

The Chief suggested that a telegram
be sent to New Haven and ascertain if
the prisoner’s story was correct, and
the man consented, but when the tele-
graph cflice was reached he wilted and
confessed to stealing the team. He
was then looked up for the night and
his name entered on the blotter as
Henry Cornell .

Shortly after 11:30 o’clock last even-
ing Sergt. Coles, of the New Haven
police, and Andrew Ure, a liveryman
of that city, called at Chief Vollmer’s
residence and stated that the horse had
been stolen from Ure’s stable on Thurs
day last and that the prisoner’s correct
name was George E. Maltby, Jr., and
that his uncle was a dentist in New
Haven, while his father lived in New
York.

rIhe New Haven officer was very
anxious to take the team and prisoner
to New Haven, but this Chief Vollmer
refused to let them do, preferring to
have the hearing here.

"When seen at police headquarters.
this morning, Malt-by, who apparently
is not over' twenty years of age, told a
GAZETTE representative that he former-
ly attended Col. Roberts’ school in this
city; that he left New York last Wed-
nesday and went to New Haven where
he met a dissolute woman whom he
took out riding; Thursday he hired a
team from Ure’s stable and went to
Savin Rock and spent most of the day
there. While returning to New Haven
the idea occurred to him to sell the
horse and he drove to Bridgeport
where he spent the night, coming to
Norwalk yesterday. Maltby further
said that he and his father had had a
falling out and that he had given the
name of Henry Cornell to the police so
that his parents would not learn of his
disgrace. How the New Haven ofiicers
learned his name he is at a loss to un-
derstand, but when Sergt. Coles recog-
n'zed him as Maltby he owned up to his
identity.

When brought before Justice Barrett
this morning. Maltby was confronted
by Sergt. Coles and Liver yman Urc
and promptly pleaded guilty, and was
bound over under $1,000 bonds.

Probably there is no disease that in-

The medicial faculty have found in
Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy,
a certain and positive cure for this ter-
rible complaint. Mrs. M. Hill, of Gale-

with Dr. David Kennedy’s ‘avorite
Remedy, says :“One year ago I was
taken with muscular rheumatism. My
limbs were so‘painful I could scarcely

Political.

From the Bridgeport Nerve: But
one name was brought before the cou-
vention. It was that of Hon. Robert
E..DeForest. He was nominated~by
F. W. Tracey, chairman of the town
committee of Bridgeport. Mr. Tracey
spoke highly of Mr. DeForest and
made a good speech. He'said among
other things that Mr. DeForest had
won the “condemnation” of thevoters
of this district. He meant to have
said commendation. Attorney Cuff of
Danbury was opposed to Mr. DeForest.
He believed the democrats should nom-
inate a man whose success was assured.
He felt that Mr. DeForest wOuld lead
the party to defeat.

Bridgepoat Standard : .The Danbury
Democrats have been at'war among
themselves for the past two years.
Congressman DeForest has tried hard
to land McPhelemy in the postoflice‘ in
Danbury, but it has aroused the strong—
est opposition among Danbury Demo-
crats. Nobody was appointed, and the
Danbury postoflice is still in the hands
of a Republican official. Senator Houl—
ihan is Mr. McPhclemy’s friend, and he
is blamed for much of the trouble.
The astute senator knows this, and is
working with all his might to restore
harmony as fares his own canvass is
concerned.

Bridgeport Union:

Bridgeport is certainly in it this year,
With the candidates thus far selected :
DeForest and Beardsley and Clarkson
and Goodsell _
Stand at good chanceof being elected.

It’s a uartette to be proud of, I think,
And of t em weineed have no fear ;

So if _the1r friends vote for them. as

_ they should . _ .
Bridgeport Wlll surely be in it this year.

HovT’s OPERA HOUSE.

the funniest comedy seen in either Lon.
don or New York for a decade, will
have its first production in South Nor-
walk, next Wednesday evening, at
Hoyt’s Opera House. It is the work
of Brandon Thomas, a clever English
actor, who has written several pieces
for the London stage and who has pro-
duced in’ “Charley’s Aunt” a success
such as a playwright rarely duplicates
in a lifetime. The comedy is now in
its second vear in the English Metro-
polis and its extreme popularity may
be guessed at from the fact that it has
run all through the London summer
with no dimunition in the size of its
audiences. It is a comedy full of di-
verting complications, and with a cen-
tral figure which is the essence of co-
centricity.
