For Fessenden. _

The, Winsted, Herald has this to say
anent‘the Speakership:—

“The Republican members of the
house of 1895, will take great pleasure
and pride in addressing as ‘Mr.Speaker’
the man who has been for many years
the eloquent, loyal and honest leader
of the grand old party and. the peer of
any man in the list of presiding officers
at the Connecticut houso of representa-

tives.” ‘

 

Want the Earth ?

According 'to last evening’s Sentinel
the Street Railway Company expect to
apply to the next legislature for per-
mission to lay its tracks down upon
and over many of the town highways
and about every street, lane and alley-
way throughout our city. This is cer-
tainly comprehensive enterprise and
we Ears not sure but it would pay for
the town and two cities to transfer all
its highways‘and by‘ways to the com-
pany’s use, on condition that it forever
after keep the same in repair.

Oyster Trade Damaged.

The New Haven Journal and Courier
has this to say concerning the injury
done that city’s oyster business by rea-
son of the typhoid fever scare : >

“The statements which have been re-
cently made in regard to oysters caus-
ing typhoid fever on account of being
raised in water made foul bysewerage,
has caused much damage to the oyster
trade in this city. The oyster trade is
the briskest between now and. New
Year’s. One Of the largest dealers in
this city has seventyflopeners at work
opening 3,500 quarts per day, which is
about $800 worth of oysters per day at
wholesale price. This represents about
$20,000.,per month. There are various
otherdealers who equal this, and alto:
gather- the trade in New Haven oysters
amounts to a quarter of a million dol
lars‘ per month. The great bulk of this
trade is in New England and its ad:
j oioing territory, while a share of it
ext-endsover the country atlarge) ‘ .

It is estimated by a prominent citi-
zen that‘ about $100,000 worth of dam-
age has been inflicted on the trade.”

Meantime our Norwalk oysters were

.never more healthful, delicious and

stimulating. They are unusually fat
and full of ozone, the dealers aver and
we guess they are right. ‘

The demand for NOIWalk oysters
from all parts of Europe and America,
is great and steadily increasing.

 

 

JerSey Justice and Gambling.

The dream of the gamblers and sport-
ing men of New York, Pennsylvania
and other States that New Jersey
could be made a gamblers’ paradise ex-
perienced a rude shock when an anti-
race track Legislature was elected a
year ago to repeal the race track legis-
lation. What little hope the gamblers
still indulged in of some sort of toler-
ance in the State across the Hudson
was dispelled when Alderman Charles
Parks, of New York, was sentenced by
the Monmouth County Court to pay a
fine of $500 and undergo an imprison-
ment for five months for maintaining a
gambling house at Asbury Park last
summer. . I

The gambling and racing fraternities
carried things with so high a hand for
a few years in the belief that money
could control legislation and stifle the
public conscience that a public protest
in the interest Of decency and good
order became an imperative necessity,
and those who imagined themselves
above law and public sentiment find
themselves let down very hard. The
new New York State Constitution con
tains an'article that is likely to prevent
in future what has heretofore been re-
garded as legitimate racing, and the
gamblers who made NewJersey their
favorite stamping ground find them-
selves confronted with the Option of
leaving the State or accepting a prison

' residence. .

This recent popular condemnation of
gamblers and all their works is only
one of many illustrations of the folly
of pursuing a course that must arouse
the popular conscience. The semi-
criminal elements that have the hardi~
hood to throw down the gauntlet to the
moral forces of the community will
always get the worst of the contest in
the end, no matter how many times the
experiment is repeated. The majority
rules, and the majority of the Ameri’
can voters are opposed to dictation
from gamblers. - '

7'" ~ACtood Suggestion. .

EDITOR:»'.GAIETTE : Norwalk ' people-L. '-

now knew-from the state _‘ ents of BYOB‘;
ident Clark, what very radical changes”
ar‘é contemplated"by 'tlieg'Consoudated
at South Norwalk. ’ Tire dangerous
grade crossing'at Washington street, is
to be done away with. The passenger,

'- depot is to be removed westerly 1,000

feet or so. Thus we Norwalk city peo-
ple will have to travel that much fur-
ther than at present when taking the
cars at that city. The freight depot is
to be brought up to the old Danbury
dock, which is good news for the Bridge
folks, asit is much nearer to our busi-
uess centre than its present location;
besides there will be-more room for
freight trains, teams, etc. South Nor-
walk will in no great length of time
become a great freight centre. 1 don’t
know if our local depot shall, when this
change is accomplished, be done away
with or not, but there should be better
facilities for our reaching that new
height depot.

To meet this demand, it is suggested
that a street he opened from the west
side of the old Isaacs place on Wall
street, thence southerly to Leonard
street, to Academy street, its whole
length crossing Orchard and Butler

streets, along the east side of Pine :‘.

Island cemetery to the new freight de-

l

0t.
p Such a street would take the heavy
freight traffic from West avenue and
would bring a section which is now
quite isolated into the active life of the
city. a}: a: *

Amusements.

 

 

Hoxr’s OPERA HOUSE.

There never was a play presented,
the managers allege, that presented so
many types of metropolitan life as “In
the Tenderloin, or New York After
Midnight.” , Bankers, gamblers, bun-
éo steerers,merchants, confidence men,

- sirens, toughs, politicians, theatrical

managers, Italian chestnut vendors,
“stool pigeons,” policemen, “boun-

cers,” “cappers,” heavy swells, clergy- -

men, newspapers reporters, bank
robbers, dive keepers, greenigoods
swindlers and celebrated, men-about-
town are some of them but not all. The
scenes are realistic to perfection and
represent the most familiar and noto
rious resorts in the tenderlom district.
The audience is carried all through the
Tenderloin, and withal there is not one
offensive word spoken or repulsive
scene shown. The performance is
powerfully vivid but entirely devoid of
vulgarity. “In the Tenderloin” will
be produced Friday night November
30th.
HOYT’S OPERA HOUSE.

TheNorris Bros. equine and canine
carnival at Hoyt’s Opera House, last
evening was one of the best perfor-
mances of the kind ever seen in town.
The intelligence shown by ponies and
dogs is remarkable, and much patience
and labor must have been expended in
teaching them the tricks they perform.
Performances will be-given this after-
noon and evening.

Music Hall, Monday afternoon, Dec.
3d. A grand musical feast is promised

sion.

Sunday Agreement Vloléted.

Some of the liquor dealers who en-
teredain good faith upon the agreement
uotto do business Sundays thereafter
are so much dissatisfied with the first
experience under the new regime—last
Sunday—that they are diSposed to re-
turn to the statu quo ante. they have
certain evidence, they say, that some
of - those whose signatures were ap-
pended to the document prepared by
the Liquor Dealers’ association violated
the agreement on Sunday last, the only
difference being that they exercised a
little more caution.——Staniford Advo-
cate. -

 

To Have a Recount.

The official figures of the vote for

POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS.

The Celebrated Bellmap-Rlcllardson Case,
_ Iii \Vliich Both. Men Held Certifi-
cates of Election, Has Deter-
msnod the Clerk’s Course.

WASHINGTON, Nov! 24.—An erroneous
impression has gone out that the clerk of
the house of representatives has prepared
an official list of members of the Fifty-
fourth congress. This he has not done
and would not be able to do if so disposed
for the reason that the official returns
have so far been received from only two
districts of the 356, these being the two
Oregon-districts. It is not expected that
certificates of election will in any large
number be placed with the clerk before
the convening of the short session, and
the probabilities are that all the certifi-
cates will not be on file for some time aft~
or that date. But even if certificates
should be filed representing all the dis«
tricts of the entire country the clerk would
not in this instance probably be disposed

to issue an official roll call of the next con-

gress before the expiration of the present.
An ofiiclal in the clerk’s ofiicc today ex-

pressed the opinion that the compictlou of .

this list would be delayed until the 4th of
March as a matter of precaution, and he
gave as a reason for this cautiouthc pos-
sibility of error or of complications sim-
ilar to those presented in the pending con-
test of Belknap versus Richardson for the
seat from the Fifth Michigan district.
The Richardson Case.

In this instance Mr. Richardson, who
was voted for as a Democratic candidate
for the Fifty-third congress, presented his
credentials to the clerk on the 22d of De-
cember. 1892, and his name was duly en‘
rolled as a member of the house. On the
20th of February following Mr. Belknap
presented credentials signed, as had been
Mr. Richardson’s, by the state officers,
certifying that Bclknap and not Richard-
son had been elected. Having recognized
the Richardson certificate, the clerk was

powerless to undo the act, if he had been.

so inclined. and as the house has so far
declined to reverse his action, Mr. Rich-
ardson still remains the sitting member.

Indeed .the circumstances proved to be.

such that Mr. Belkuap was unable, with-
out the adoption of a special resolution,
to inaugurate contest proceedings. Such
a resolution was adopted, and the merits
of the two sets of credentials will consti-
tute one of the interesting questions
which the house will be called upon to dis-
pose of at the forthcoming session.

It should be explained that there was a
change of administration in Michigan be-
tween the. time the Richardson certificate
was issued and that when the Belkuap
certificate was issued, Republican state
officials succeeding Democratic state 0111-
cials, Richardson receiving his certifica-
tion from the Democrats and Belkuap
from the Republicans. A new canvass
had been made under the order’of the su-
preme court of the state, and it was upon

the results ascertained by the canvass that,

the Belknap certificate was issued. The
simple action of the clerk has been more
potent, however, than the whole machin-
ery, political and executive, of the state
of Michigan in deciding the merits of the
case.

Fishback “’on’t Join a. Silver Party.

LITTLE ROCK, N ov. 24,—Governor Fish-

"derltgwhlch fortunately was not attended .
by loss of life, occurred- today on the Ho- * ' “

boken ferry. The Netherlands,.the newest
double decker boat on the linn, crashed
into the end of the southern bulkhead
while making her way into the Barclay
street slip. The beat, it was said, was
going at nearly full speed at the time, and
the force of the collision was terrific. The
sound of it was heard far out into West
street, and for some distance in every di-
rection. — 4"

The boat struck on her starboard side,
which, as. she was coming to this city,
was the side on which was the men’s
cabin. The side of the cabin as far as the
first stairway was torn right out, and the
passengers were thrown across the cabin
and several of them badly injured. Two
ambulance surgeons from the Hudson
Street hospital were summoned in a short
time. and they were the first persons ad«
mitted to the boat. They found'four per-
sons requiring attention, aud only two of
these were taken to the hospital in ambu-
lances. The injured were:

J. C. Sexton, broker, East Orange. N.
J., lacerated wounds of the hand :and
scalp and injury to back; wounds dressed
and sent home.

INDIAN TE RRITOBY LA‘VLESSNESS.

The System Governing Arrests—Brigantis
. Formerly Marshals.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 24.—quulries made by
a correspondent about the present reign
of lawlessness in the Indian Territory in-
dicate that the vicious fee system is re-
sponsible for it. The whole territory'ls
under the jurisdiction of the federal courts
at Fort Smith, Ark., and at Paris, Tex.
These courts try all cases arising in the
territory to which white meu'are parties.
If only Indians are interested, the Indian
courts have jurisdiction. Arrests for crime
are , made by the United States deputy
marshals, and they are paid so much for
each warrant served and mileage to and
from Fort Smith or Paris. They get ex-
actly the same amount for taking into
custody a whisky peddler that they do for
apprehending a murderer, and as hunting
down miner criminals is far less danger-
ous, and as they give the deputies plenty
to do, there is little wonder that they re-
fuse to spend their time and money in
trailing the Cook gang. They are not
permitted to share in the rewards ofi'ered
by the government. A great many of the
Cook gang' formerly reds as deputies
themselves. They know, therefore, the
methods ’of their pursuers. The only hope
for the people‘down there, as they look at
it themselves, lies in the United ‘ States
army and martial law. '
