The Gascogne Arrives.
A million hearts are lighter today
because of the re-appearance of the
’u‘ascogne from the great Nowhere Of
the ocean, yet a million heads will think
there must have been some mystery
about the long hiding of the ship from
mortal view.
We all have heard for years of
“ocean lanes” and “the ocean ferry.”
Scores of steamers pass every week
over much of the course which the
Gascogne sailed, so it would seem as if
no vessel could long be out of sight of
some other. Yet not a single craft Of
any line, going or coming, had a
glimpse of the French liner. Had she
been sighted at all, any sailor would
have known her.
Meanwhile the hundreds of people
aboard were as much out of the world,
so far as their friends could learn, as if
they had been frozen up at the North
Pole or gone to the bottom. Such a
sensation of relief as the ship’s arrival
has produced has not been felt in many
a year ; people who had no friends
aboard and who had scarcely heard the
name of the Gascogne until a week ago
are exchanging comments as cheery as
if a dear friend thought dead had sud-
denly re-apyenred. The mystery of the
Gascogne has brought a great lot of the
best side of human nature to light.
The next time an ocean greyhound is
overdue let us remember that the At-
lantic ocean is a very big place and has
some lonely areas.
Proposed Park at Appomattox.
The organization of the Appomattox
National Park Association at Lynch-
burg, Va, and the character of the
citizens who have identified themselves
with the movement, show that vigorous
effort is to be made for the preservation
of the grounds made forever historic
by the Capitulation of Lee to Grant
and by the grand parole of the Con-
federate army. It'is true, indeed, that
the list of memorial parks would be in-
complete without Appomattox.
The thing may be considered settled,
so far as Appomattox is concerned and
the American people generally will fall
into line with a chorus of unanimous
approval. What particular shape the
movement will take does not appear to
be determined as yet, but the promot-
ers, with due regard to the command,-
ing dignity of their enterprise, have
deemed it best to enlist the President'
of the United States in its behalf at the
outset- by intrusting to his discretion
the appointment of ageneral prelimi-
nary committee representative Of the
Union and Confederate corps to meet
upon the battlefield on the 9th of April
and outline such plans for the future as
it may consider expedient and best. In
the mean time the local Virginia com-
mittee will send an advisory committee
to Washington to take such further
steps as may be necessary to enlarge
and perfect the organization.
Now that the Appomattox post-office
has been rescued from the change of
name to which the department had un-
accountably and sacrilegiously subject-
ed it, there Will be a readier disposition,
throughout the country to perpetuate
and save from any future menace of
mutilation or Oblivion the name by
which this famous llocality has gone
into the world’s history. Henceforlh
and through all time it will be Appo-
mattox; and in some respects, for sen-
timental considerations it may be, or
the impulses of patriotic emotion,
evoked by the peculiar association here
intermingled, rather than for any topo-
graphical interest from a military point
of View, this memorable field will pos.
sees an attractiveness to the American
people attaching to none of the great
battle-grounds on which as fratricidal
combatants they decided momentous
issues and gave heroic illustration of
American valor.
-.__——— I O o
Progress of Woman Suffrage.
The question of woman suffrage has
been agitated as long and as ably in
Massachusetts as in any other State.
In no State has a larger number of
bright and brainy men and women
advocatid “the cause" by tongue and
pen. But, in spite of these favorable
conditions, it is quite possible that
Massachusetts Wlll be one of the last
States to establish equal suffrage. It
required years of agitation of the most
energetic kind before the women of the
Bay Slate were permitted to vote for
school direct(1‘s. It is claimed that
such voting has been decidedly advan-
tlgeous in many ways, but the suffrage
movement has halted right there; as if
it had no intention to take another
step. -
The present legislature of Massachu-
setts, like all its predecessors for many
years, is being moved on in consider-
able. force by the“, friends Of equal
suffrage. But there, as in many other
states, the chief obstacle to success is
the indifference not of the men, but Of
the women, the proposed recipients of
the enlarged liberty. The Boston
Herald says that while there are about
500,000 women over the age Of twenty-
one in the state, it does not believe 5
per cent. Of the number would vote in
favor of general enfrancbisement. The
Herald also believes that if a law were
passed stating that female suffrage
would be granted when half the women
in the state voted in favor of it, it
would be a long time before the law be-
came operative. It will be remembered
in this connection, that the opposition
of women was a great factor in defeat-
ing equal suffrage in the New York
constitutional convention last year.
Many influential women in Illinois
are now asking the Legislature to give
them an extension of the suffrage. A
peculiar state of things exists in that
state, the Supreme Court having given
out the Opinion that women may be
permitted to vote for any Officer not
specified in the constitution. For ex
ample, they now vote for school direc-
tors, but they may not vote for county
Superintendent, because that officer is
referred to in the constitution. Such
Officers as mayors, aldermen, and trus-
tees of villages are in the statutory and
not in the fundamental law, therefore
if the Legislature confers on women
the right to vote for such officers the
Supreme Court must either sustain the
enactment or reverse itself. Women
now vote, as we have stated, for certain
school officers, but the Chicago Tri-
bune says women have neither taken a
deep interest in these elections nor de-
monstrated the wisdom of this partial
enfranchisment.
The women who attended and partici-
pated in the suffrage convention at
Atlanta recently did not show any
diminution of courage, but were as
hopeful and aggressive as if recent
defeats had been victories. In their
lexicon there is no‘jjsuch word as fail.
Their courage is normally atzthe stick-
ing point. They have a right to point
with pride to two States where equal
suffrage is working admirably. Possi-
bly one of those States may in a few
years decide to elect one or more wom-
en to Congress. That would present
some new and interesting phases of the
suffrage question.

The Willimantic State Normal School

September, 1889, but it has been seri-

room and appliances. Happily for the
school this condition is nearing an end
and probably before the close of the

than was anticipated when the bill es

Accidentally Shot By a Com-
Danton.
Dled Before. Reaching the Hospital.
Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock,
Charles E. Batterson, Eddie Warren
and Charles S. Allen left the Warren
homestead in Greens Farms on a duck-
ing expedition to the Sound. They
reached Gray’s Creek where they _re-
mained until 10 o’clock in the evening
without having met with any luck.
The ducks failing to put in an appear«
ance the boys decided to return to
their homes, and shortly after ten
o’clock shouldered their shot guns and
started. As they walked along through
the snow Warren and Batterson forged
ahead; of Allen some five or. ten 'feet,
Suddenly and without warning Allen’s
shot gun was discharged and the charge
of buck shot struck young Warren in
the fleshy part of the thigh. The
wounded lad dropped upon the snow
and the other two boys stood paralyzed
at the terrible accident. Quickly re
covering themselves, however, they
picked up their wounded companion
and carried him to the recidence of
Horace Wakeman in Compo.
As soon as Warren was placed on a
bed in Wakeman’s one of the boys
hastened after Dr. W. J. Fyfe, who
promptly responded. The wound was
washed and dressed by the Doctor and
the wounded lad ordered taken to the
Norwalk hospital.
An open wagon was procured and
Cyrus Goodale, Horace Wakeman and
Charles Allen left Compo at three
o’clock in the morning-for the hospital
in this city. When the party reached
the Washington street bridge young
Warren was apparantly all right and
Spoke to his friends in the wagon, but
when Solman‘s stable was reached, he
gasped twice and expired, having bled
to death on the journey from Compo.
As soon as possible Medical Examiner
Burke was notified aid young Warren’s
body was taken to Gregory’s morgue
and Allen locked up. Coroner Doten
‘ was notified at once and a coroner’s in-
quest will be held.
Eddie Warren, the dead youth, was
about eighteen years of age and a son
of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Warren of
Greens Farms.
When seen by a GAZETTE represent-
ative young Allen, who apparently is
not over seventeen years of age, ‘was
behind the bars at police headquarters.
He seemed badly affected by the
accident and was hardly able to explain
how the accident accurred.‘ ‘
He said that he was walking behind
Warren and Batterson with his gun
under his right arm and‘ that as he
undertook to change the position of the
gun the trigger caught on the button
of his coat and discharged the gun.
Coroner Doten came to South Nor-
walk early this morning and after
hearing thestatements of young Bat-
terscn, Mr. Wakeman and Charles
Allen, decided that the shooting was
accidental and discharged Allen.
As Warren without doubt died from
loss of blood, Dr. Burke will make an
autopsy this afternoon.
Mr. Warren, father of the 'dead boy,
was present at the hearing. Mrs.
Warren is ill in New York and has not
been notified of her son’s death as it
is feared that the shock would prove
serious to her.

Danger of the Schooner M. D. Wells.
During the terrible gale of last Wed-
nesday night, the schooner M. D.
Wells, commanded by Capt. Ball, and
owned by himself and L. B. Silliman,
of Bridgeport, was in great danger of
being blown from her anchorage, upon
the rocks near the entrance to N orwalk
harbor, or outinto the sound to be a
plaything for the storm that had full
sway that terrible night. In either
event the schooner would have been
wrecked. The Wells sailed fromtthe
Bridgeport harbor on Monday fore-
noon with a favorable Wind. which
prevailed, until when 01f Norwalk Is-
lands, it changed to westward render-
ing itmecessary-toeither make 'Nor-
walk Harbor or return-to Bridgeport,
Capt-Ball decided to, enter the harbor
and wait a favorable change of the
weather.
Tuesday brought no change, but a
sharp chilly wind prevailed until Wed-
nesday evening, when" the storm broke
in all its fury. Ice had formed around
the schooner, but the fierce northeast
wind broke it up, until all that remained
between the vessel and the rocks and
open sea was a mass of ice which was
liable at any moment to break away
and carry the craft with its crew out
to certain death. i
All night long and until 3 O’clock the
next morning, Capt..Ball- and his mate
stood by the cabin WlDdOW watching
the storm and the tossing field of ice
as it was gradually being broken up
and carried seaward by the gale. At 3
\o’clock in the morning a change in the
wind came and all danger was passed.
Neither the captain nor his mate spoke
to each other of their danger, but each
was fully conscious that they were ‘lia-
ble at any moment to face death.
Fortunately the schooner had a
plenty of provisions and coal, so that
all on board were fed and warmed.
Friday morning Mr. Silliman learned
where the schooner was and at once
communicated with the superintendent
Of the Standard Oil Works at Wilson’s
Point and also to the central office in
New York, requesting them, as she was
bound for then works, to afford needed
relief. .
Saturday morning Mr. Silliman re-
ceived word by telephone that a relief
party had been sent out, and as soon
as they returned report would be made.
Nothing was heard until at 12:30 Capt.
Ball“ walked into Mr. Si'lliman’s office
and reported for himself. Thankful
that he was again safe on terra firma
Mr. Silliman was overjoyed to see the
captain and to know that his vessel
and cargo were safe, but better than
that, a disaster and loss of life, had
been so providentially arrested. The
facts were learned from Mr. Silliman
yesterday by The Bridgeport Morning
Union reporter

another trial test, to morrow afternoon.

that the city council will be present and
all citizens are invited.
The Sleigh Overturned.
Hugh Donnelly, the Wall street gro-
ceryman, owing to increased business,
concluded to purchase a new horse.
Monday afternoon, his delivery clerk
James Powell, took the horse out on a
trial trip. When on .Westport avenue,
the sleigh overturned dumping the oc-
cupants, P0 \\ ell and Tom Donnelly, in-
to the snow. The horse ran but the
driver pluckily held on to the lines and
succeeded in stopping'the horse before
much damage was done. ,
-O'
The Water Supply.
Norwalk commenced on Sunday last
using South Norwalk water at a cost Of
$28 per'day. This was caused by the
lack of pressure from the distributing
reservoir of the local system. Oddly
enough, the city has a good supply of
water, at the same time. But itis in the
main reservoir, and it is claimed that
the feed pipe is not large enough to
transfer it to the distributing reservoir
as rapidly as it is drawn 011'.
Since connecting with the South
Norwalk system the water in the dis-
tributing reservoir has increased 8
inches, leaving about3 feet 4 inches
of water less than an adequate supply.
This it is believed will be provided
Within two or three days.

then he married Miss Harriet H.
-Robinson he was the fortunate possessor
of a. million dollars, but he soon learned
that riches frequently take to themselves
wings. This lesson was taught to him in
the overcrowded school of \Vall street,
where he speculated with more daring
than judgement. One morning, eleven
years ago, when the Stock Exchange
opened and he was called on to make
good his obligation, he found himself
bank’rupt. During his career as a. specu-
lator he spent money with a lavish hand
and was know as “ Spendthrift ”
Green. '
After Mr. Green‘s failure in W'all
street his debts were all paid, he retired
from “’Change” and settled down as a.
club man Of very simple and regular
habits. Since then he has nothing to do
with business, living as a. gentleman of
leisure and resisting all temptations to
againenter speculation. I-I'is acquaint‘
ances are confined almost exclusively to
members of the Union League Club.
His time is about evenly divided be-
tween his apartments at the Cumberland
and the rooms of .the Union League,
' where he is a. conspicuous figure and an
enjoyable companion. From the rising
hour until one o’clock he is to be found.
in his sitting room With his books. The
daily papers he reads with care, and
though he scowls when he sees his wife’s
name, be carefully clips and preserves all
the articles referring to her. Here he
receives only his most intimate friends,
leaving his acquaintances to be met in
the club room. .
At one o’clock he walks leisurely to his
club and usually stays there until quite
late at night, enjoying his cigar, a. game
of cards ”and social conversation. Now
and then, though not frequently, the
evening is broken by a. visit to the the
atre.
Such is the quiet life of the husband of
the woman who is able to lend millions
of dollars, and who, through her eccen-
tricity of. life and careful management of
her fortune, has gained for herself world
