Tariff Bills in the senate.
The democratic senators now seem to
. be“, with very few exceptions,_asobe-
dient to bad leadership in defeating
reel tariff reform as they were last
summer. But they will find that they
can gain nothing and will lose much
by holding ’up the supplemental tariff
'ills, wisely urges the New York Her-
aid.
If anything could relieve these sena~
tors and their party from the terrible
condemnation they provoked by past
failures to redeem their manifold tarifi'
reform pledges, it- is the passage of the
pending tariff bills.
Unless the new tarifi works admirably
and accomplishes ,‘most undeniable,
palpable and remarkable good results
throughout the country before 1896,
the people will then be in no mood to
return the democratic party—to power.
If the supplemental tariff bills are now
killed and the errors of the new tariff
left uncorrected, it will be folly to ex-
pect such good results in time to benefit
that party in the next Presidential
election. Shrewd republicans see this
and are doing their best to kill those
bills, upon the fate of which the fatepf
the democracy in thhe next general
election will very largely depend.
The Trolley Postal Service.
’3118 plan of employing trolley cars
to assist in distributing the mails has
b01211 tested recently in Brooklyn with
very satisfactory results, and it is
thought that this success will lead to
the introduction of the practice in
other cities. The trolley cars were
first used to transport mail bags be—
tween the several post offices. The
bags were intrusted to the motorman
or the conductor and were carried on
the plat-forms of the ordinary passenger
cars. The postal trolley cars were then
introduced to make it possible to sort
and'arrange the mail on the way from
the central to the rural post ofiices.
The ordinary trolley car was parti-
tioned off into two compartments for
this purpose, one section being used as
a post office and the other as a smoking
car. The part of the car reserved for
the post o‘licc is especially fitted up for
this pui'pOSC. The equipment of this
novel traveling post office are similar
to those ordinarily used. Several pos-
tal clerks accompany the cars, and they
open the mail bugs and sort and ar-
range the maxi 0:1 the route. “ This saves
time, it will bc seen, and relieves the
pressure of work at the regular post
offices. Along the entire route these
cars stop to take on and let off passen-
gers in the Usual way. The cars are
run directly into the post ofliccgards
to load or unload the mails. In this
work the trolley linps are looked upon
as regular mail routes and are regular-
ly engaged and paid by the govern-
ment. It is said that the postal author-
ities look with considerable favor on
this adjunct to_,our.mail service ard
that it is’probablc very general use

An llnknown Man 11110113111110:
In the Face '01” Editor Frank
Steele 0f the Bridgepqrt
Sunday Herald. ,
His Face, Head and Body Terribly
Burned.
Frank B. Steele, the city editor of
the Waterbur edition of the Bridge-
port Sunday — erald, and well .known
here in Norwalk, was badly injured
about the head and body last evening .
at 6 o’clock, by some unknown man,
who dashed a bottle of vitriol in his
face. Steele was standing in the door-
way of the Herald office on Bank uerect.
Waterbury, when the stranger came
along and threw the bottle at him. .
The bottle broke and the vitriol
spread over Steele’s face and rm; down
his back and over his chest burning
away his clothing and eating the flesh.
As soon as he threw the bottle to; man
ran and Steele started after hire, but
realizing that he had been struck With
vitriol, Steele made for an apcénecary
store near-by, where two doctor: were
summoned. Afterwards he was sent
home. ‘
The perpetrator of the dastardly out-
rage is not known. He wore a heavy
ulster anda soft hat. It is believed
that he was one of the newsmper man’s
enemies and had been waitin-; for
Steele to appear to throw the bottle at
him. Steele will be‘disfigured for the
remainder of his life as a result of his
injuries. His many Norwalk friends
hope that his assailant will be soon
captured and severely dealt with.
An Extraordinary Document.
A little son of jeweler Arthur 5%. Fer.

wet spell, and in order that he might
not catch cold and become sick h1le

his mother has sent him to school with
rubber boots. On several occasions he
has been sent home to obtain shoes and

DEAR MADAM; This boy was sent home this

For "health, both for pupil himself, and our

we'require this. If you do not like the re-
quirement we are sorry, We shall enforce
this rule.
If your son enjoys the advantages of our
school he must meet requirements as well as
other boys: if he 13 absent without cause we
shall put him on the truant 11st. _

Fr-Om a perusal of the above one
would believe that the Board of School
'Visitors were “not in It,” and the
schools in South Norwalk are run under
rules manufactured by Mr. Foote. No

of. School _Vis1tors can be found any-
thing relating to thevkind of foot-wear
scholars shall appear In, nor is It under;
stood Where authority is found for mak-
ing any one prov1de a certain kind of
foot-wear to please servants of the peo-
pie.
The implied threat in Mr. Foote’s
.letter, to place the boy on the truant
list if absent without cause, or in' other
words, if he does not attend school
dressed as Mr. FOOte desires, even
though he be unable to procure shoes
or slippers, would indicate that the
time has arrived for the Board of
School Visitors to interview the princi-
pal Of the South Norwalk public schools.

SUEEOCATED Ev GAS. "'
--i.'Wo use and & DOy‘ Aéphyxfated In a NOV
York Flat Bedroom. »
- "NEW‘YOEEfiJan? r2.——Tw6 ‘men who
.Wereon the lookout for burglars and a
boy who slept in the little hall bedroom
With them, on the third floor of the tones
ment house 343 Grand street, were sufi'o-
cated by gas early this morning. There
Was a gas stove in the room. and one of
the men must have kicked it over in his
deep. When the door of the room was
broken open. the stove was found over—
turned, and the gas which escaped from
the loosened'pipe‘ filled the room. The
dead are: Jacob Rosenberg, 13 years;
Abraham Beresam, 22 years; Joseph Ja-
cobson, 25 years. . . _ .
The flat in which the people Were sulfa.
sated is occupied by JacoblRosenbcrg, fa.-
ther of the dead boy. He is ,9 butcher,
with a shop at 117 Hester street, and has
half a dozen men in his employ.
Three months ago the flat was robbed,
and a gold watch and a large amount of
jewelry were taken. Rosenber , fearing
that'the burglars would return, eclded to
have Workmen Beresam and' Jacobson
sleep in the house to protect him and his.
property.
They had-been sleeping in the little hall .
bedroom. .1 The men slept on the floor by
the side of the bed; '- There was'just space
enough in the reom after the two men
Were stretched out- to put in‘ a little stove.
The rubber pipe that led from it to the gas
jet passed above the men as they lay on
the floor. A turn from the corner of a,
blanket". might have displaced the~pipe. .
This iswliat probably happened. None of
the peOple. in the flat was careful, and none
took the precaution to turn the gas off
at the jet. They let it fill the pipe and
turned it off zit the stove burner.
It was a few min'fies after 4 o’clock
when one of the workers in the butcher
,shop reached the Rosenberg flat to wake
up Beresam and Jacobson. The bedroom
has a door leading from the hall and one
from the flat proper. At the first door the
man knocked. Before he had sounded the
first rap be detected the odor of gas, but
could not tell Where it came from. When
there was no response, he went to another
flaw of the flat and woke up the Rosan-
3 family. .
.- ., Mr. Rosenberg arose and went to the
{delight the Sleeping room on the inside.
Ashe Opened it he was met by a. flood of
gas. ' ~ He sounded an alarm that brough
every tenant in the house to the third floor.

At a special meeting of The Norwalk Club,
held in the rooms of Said Club, January 9th,
1895, a Memorial. of which the following is a
true copy, was duly adopted :
Dr. Clarence B. Coolidge, a. highly esteemed
member. and for a. time, an officer of The
Norwalk Club. died at his home in Norwalk.
January 8th, 1895, in the forty-fifth year of
his age.
Although death came to him in early man-
hood. when he might expect many more years
of activity and usefulness. yet his friends can
contemplate with satisfaction the honorable
record he has left of public duties performed,
of honors worthily received and borne, and
if private trusts faithfully discharged. His
fellow citizens of the town, borough and city
of Norwalk, many times expressed their confi-
dence in his character and capacity, by choos-
ing him to the most important offices, and
' never found their confidence misplaced. His
life, especially in his later years, was one of
great activity, and the more the people of this
community learned of what he was,the great-
er was the trust reposed in him.
In his more strictly personal character and
relations, he was bright. companionable, soc‘
ial; of an unvarying temper: always true and
steadfast to his friends; generous, open-
hearted. self denying; fond of bringing hap-
pines to others. While he suffered long un.
der wasting illness known to be almost surely
fatal, he was bravely cheerful to the’last. '
" Therefore. this Club. recognizm'g‘the loss
sustained in his death by his wide circle of
friends. by our members, and by the com-
munity.and desiring to preserve a. suitable
memorial thereof, orders that the foregoing
be entered on its records, and published in the“
press of the cityu And'in' testimony of our
sympathy with his stricken family, it is fur-.
ther ordered. that the ' Secretary present a
