Figures vs. Figurers.
Ex-Governor Waller still thinks he is
correct in his estimate that the Demo-
cratic and Republican party each spent
over $100,000 in Connecticut in the
campaign of 1892.
This reminds us of Col. “Bob” Inger-

Hospital Benefit.
The good people of Norwalk will
have an opportunity, this evening, of
assisting ‘the‘ ladies’ visiting committee
of the hospital in making their enter-
tainment at Hoyt’s Opera House a
grand success The ladies have worked
hard to make their entertainment a
first class one and it remains with the
people to show their appreciation of
these labors by packing the Opera
House.
The Object is amost worthy one and
the ladies’ have been most indefatiga-
ble in their efforts to sustain our hos-
pital since its inception and it is hOped
that at their entertainment to-nighta
large sum willbe realized. i

An infant industry.
The highway robbery of railway
trains, which was invented in this coun-
try, is yet in its infancy as to years, but
has developed rapidly. Last year
thirty-four trains were held up. Only
four years ago it was thought amazing
that there should be twelve cases in one
year.
. Reasoning upon this proportionate
increase, it is evident that we may
reasonably expect at least a hundred
hold—ups in a year in the near future.
The progress Of this 1ndustry has been
somewhat retarded by the interference
of train~men and others with the opera-
tors. They shoot at them, and in this
and other ways make themselves disa-
greeable. More than half the holdups
last year were failures.
Washington Notes.
All seem to rejoice that but a single
week more of life is left to Congress.
Patent Commissioner Sepmour has
created a genuine sensation by inviting
two of the board of Examiners-in-Ghief
to step down and out.
The city has had five hundred desti-
tutc men employed for a week at a
dollar a day shoveling snow from the
streets. Some of them were dismissed
government clerks who never used a
shovel all day before, in their lives.
Governor and Mrs. Coffin left for
home yesterday.
Congressman elect N. D. Sperry and
wife have left for home.
Eli-Congressman S. W. Kellogg, of
Waterbury has left for Florida.
Congressman-elect Hill will radiate
in and about and from Washington a
fortnight longer.
The body of Frederick Douglass laid
in state here until last evening, when it
started on its journey to Rochester, for
sepulchre in beautiful Mount Hope
cemetery.
Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Bigelow, Of New
York and Ridgefield, are among the
more recent arrivals.
Mm. E. J. Hill was called to Vassar
Saturday owing to the painful, but not
alarming r illness of her daughter, Miss
Helena, who has gastritis.
Dr. and Mrs. Noble left here Monday,
for a brief visit to Florida. The worthy
Couple have had a perfect ovation from
their host of Washington friends, dur-
ing their short stay at the capital. Mrs,
Noble was among other Connecti-
cut 1adies to receive the gracious and
cordial greetings of “the first lady of
the land,” at the reception given the
Daughters of the Revolution.
Want Five Cent Fare.
Fair-field folks want a five cent fare
on the trolley cars and they have made
up their minds not to grant any further
consetsions to the Bridgeport Traction
company until they get it. That was
the reason why they promptly voted
down the company's petition at the
town meeting, Saturday}

All For Love.‘
sPauline Kuluofl,a.Swed1sh gir1,'liv- ‘
ing at Bridgeport, suddenly went in-
sane yesterday, and had to be taken to
the police station. Her mind became
affected over a love affair, her sweet-
heart being in the south. His absence
so preyed upon her mind that she be-
came insensible to what was taking
place about her.
Found Dead.
The body of Martin Galvin was found
Monday morning at the foot of a flight
of stone steps leading to the home of
John Keefe on Elm street, Stamford.
There was a cut on’ both the front and
back of his head, neither of which were
considered sufficient to cause death.
It is believed that he called on Keefe
and in mounting the steps lost his bal-
ance and fell. The body was frozen
stiff when found. An examination
disclosed the fact that his neck had
been broken by the fall.

After The Ball.
Says the Bridgeport News: “He is a
hunchback and he belongs in N orwalk.
He came here to attend the Concordia
ball. He had $30 when he arrived. In
the morning he woke up at the depot
with a ticket for South Norwalk in his
hat, but not a cent in his pocket. He
got in an express wagon and asked to
lie taken the City Hotel. He was put
out of the wagon and Officer Burke
placed him on a train for his home.
The hunchback turned his pockets in-
side out and said, “After the Ball.”
important Sale.
Monday afternoon, Mr. Joseph
Matheis sold to D. Conley, one-half of
the building known as Skiddy’s block,
on Main street, for it is said $9,000. The
part purchased by Mr. Conley includes
the store known as the Oleander Gar-
den, and the store north of the same
formerly used as a meat market.
The sale was a surprise to many
although it has been kqun for a long
time that Mr.,Matheis wished to dispose
of the property which he purchased
twenty or more years ago.
To a GAZETTE reporter, Mr. Conley
said this morning, that he intended
opening the vacant store as a meat
market. The “Oleander Garden”
store will probably remain under the
proprietorship of Joseph
Matheis, Jr.
The other half of this well-known
block is owned by the Olmstead estate.
A Pleasing Entertainment.
The St. Philip’s Chapter of Grace
church Guild gave an entertainment in

in the first half of the entertainment
were, the Misses Sally S. Bette and
'N ash, Harold Raymond, George Nash,
Edward Gould, Robert Onstead, Ira
Lockwood and Edward Brotherton,
each and every one of whom did splen-
didly. “Funnibone’s Fix," was the
feature Of part second, and the follow-
ing persons “fixed the funny-bone” to
the great delight of all: Edward Gould,
Robert Onstead, William Ranch, Rich-
ard Hendrick, Albert Scofield, Roy
Montgomery, Herbert Gould, Ira
Lockwood and Arthur Kenney.

Final Wind—up of a Prosecuting
Attorney’s Ind'ustriousness.
And 'He Came Back.
Says the Danbury Dispatch of Mon-
day: “A few weeks ago Prosecuting
Agent Ho'nnecker, of South Norwalk,’
invaded the hamlet of Bedding with a
corps of constables, witnesses, lawyers
and justice and succeeded in obtaining
some evidence against a resident of
that place for violationsrof the iiquor
law. The final windup of his industri-
ousness was to nolle the case and send
in a b11101 over one hundred dollars
for fees of different sorts for his staff
from South Norwalk.
T e officials of Redding didn’t like
this and thought at the time it was
pretty good— nerve on the part of Hon-
neckcr to bring along his Own justices
to try the case._ The town of Bedding
provides several justices who have set
on more cases of this nature than pro-
bably Mr. Honnecker ever participated
in. So in the future, whenever the law '
was violated, they resolved to take
charge of the cases themselves
They discovereda violation and re-
tained John R. Booth, of this crty, to
represent the state. He issued a war-
rant for the arrest of D. S. Cornell,
who was arrested. The trial took
place last Saturday and the defendant
found guilty, In view of the fact that
Cornell plead guilty, and was moving
out of the town, he was allowed to go,
with a fine Of $10 and costs which he-
paid up. Thus, Honnecker was left in
the cold. ‘
Proved Fatal.
The accident suffered by Edson M.
Raymond of Winnipauk at South Nor-
walk on Monday, an account of which
appeared in these columns, proved
fatal. The unfortunate man was taken
to the hospital and every thing possible
done to save his life, “ ‘but without
avail. The fracture was of, such a
nature that it was impossible to success-
fully tr eat the same, and the poor man
died a few hours after the accident.
His wife had been summoned to the
hospital and saw him before he
breathed his last.
The deceased was about 44 years Of
age and leaves a widow and three
children, Laura, 7, Mary 4, Edith not
quite 2 years. He was a son of the late
Marvin Raymund, anda man pOpular
with all who knew him.
The sympathy of all will go out
toward his bereaved wife and children
in this their hour of afliiction.

Her Wit Gave Her a Seat.
One day last week a large Irishwoman
got intoa Sixth avenue car, and the—
ca'r bemg‘ full, she was obliged to stand.
She rode for many blocks quite patient;
--ly, first resting herself on one foot and ~
then on the other. Still no one g9t
ou
With a face that Harrwan would,
have given fifty dollars for, she ex-
claimed‘ “Well, ain’t none of I‘yee's

ride into the next county?"
“NO, we me all going to see Lillian

‘ lf‘” ., Ladies} Day.
flan-UV'
Yesterday was observed by the Nor-
'walk' club as “Ladies Day," a day in
which the club set apart two hours,
from 4 to 6 O’clock for the delectation
of their lady friends," in fact presented
to them the “freedom” of the club
rooms for that time: The parlors and
the entire suite of rooms *‘had been
beautifully embellished with ferns,
exocties and other plants, and the air
was redolent with the perfume of chaice
flowers, audie‘ach'and every room was
of itself a bow’er of beauty.
The guests Of whom it is estimated
that there were at least 150 began to
arrive soon lifter ,4 o’clock, and were
met- at ‘the’ entrance by a committee
representing both the Norwalk and the
W oman’s clubs, and shown to the dress-
ing room.
Later, the surroundings were treated
to a full, and it is believed sa‘isfactory
inspection, as we. have yet to learn that
any reflections were cast upon the
“apple or any other kind of pie, order”
in which everything was found. '
They strolled from one room to an.
other with evident expectation, and
retraced their steps with a look of
sublime satisfactiou, if indeed not a
little wonderment. ‘
Sweet strains of music waited to
their ears,furnished by Weidenhammer
and the scene was a joyous one as the
reflection from mulli-colored electric
lights and candelabra spread a softlight
upon the moving panorama Of beauty.
Of course there was a collation,
which was a surprise in the art cuisine,
and was heartily enjoyed by the visi-
tors. “Ladies Day, Februarv 25th,
at the NorwalkClub rooms,” will be
jotted down in the mental memoranda
of all present, and referred to as “the
happiest two hours that I ever spent in
my life.”
And thus do social functions ass. into
the history of fleeting' happiness.
I Mr. Benedict’s Purchase.
Mr. E. C. Benedict. the well-known
banker. and broker, has purchased
Finch’s Island and the Indian Harbor
Hotel property at Greenwich, at a re-
ported cost of $175,000. The property
purchaséd includes twenty-five acres of
water front and forest land which has
been in the possession of the Mead
family for over a century,- When
William M.‘ Tweed was in the height of
his power in 1870 he purchased this
property and organized the notorious
Americus Club, which afterward built
a club house on the shores of Indian
Harbor. The club subsequently leased
the little island now cecupied by the
Indian Harbor Yacht club and called
it Tweed'Islandzi- On the downfall of
the Tweed ring the club dissolved and
the property reverted. to. the Mead
estate and the 'nameof the island was
changed to Finch.’ '
Mr. Benedict, it is said, contemplates
retiring from business and will demol--
ish the hotel and erect a fine country
seat on its site, where he will rest after
over forty years Of active business life.
Mr. Benedict is very fond of the water,
and is the present Commodore of the
Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht club of
Oyster Bay, which 1s located just across
the Sound. His sum er home, how-
ever, is at Greenwich, and. he magnific-,

’ Danbury’s Post Office Fight.
A Washington dispatch to the Hart-
ford Courant says: “The Danbury
post office muddle seems now to be
approaching a decision. The post-
master-general has positivelv declined
to' appoint Mr. McPhelemy, COngress-
man DeForest’s candidate, and has re-
fcrred' the case to the President, saying
he would have nothing more to do with
the matter. The chances are that the,
President will also repudiate. Mr. Mc-
Phelemy and that Mr. DeForest will
be obliged to recommend some one
else.
The Union in Luck.
The Rev. Joseph D. Pullman, D. D.,
pastor of the First M. E. church of
Bridgeport, is indignant over the scor-
ing he received in The Union and has
been .advised by President Bullard of
the Law and Order league to institute
suit against that journal. The Union
said Dr. Pullman’s sermon on the
Concordia ball was as disgraceful as
the ball itself, and that it shocked his
hearers, so that many ladies left the
church before he had finished. This
Dr; Pullman denies. .
A Short Visit.
Mrs. George Brown came over here

She met her husband, treated him to a

THE BIG YACHT RACE.

Races \Vith the Yigilant.
. NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—A meeting of the
New York Yacht club will be held to 'de-
cidc the number of men a vessel shall car-l
ry. This applies particularly to the com-'
ing race between Valkyrie III and the, de-
fender ,n ow being.built.
It has already been agreed upon between
Lord Dunraven and the cup committee
that the vessels shall be measured with all
on board who intend sailing in the race.
To determine the number' 1s the object of
the meeting. It will probably be between
57 and 61 men.
The cup committee held a. meeting at
noon today in Commodore Smith’s office.
Very little business of importance was
transacted. Oliver - Isclin’s resignation
was accepted, but no one was appointed in
his place.
Commodore Smith read a letter from
Lord Dunravcn dated Jan. 31. In it he
acknowledges the receipt of the formal ac-
ceptance of his challenge by the New York
Yacht club. He considers the first race
fixed for Sept. 7 and will endeavor to be
here on time. The question of the num-.
ber of men to be carried in ' the race he
refers to Mr. Kerscy whom he gives full
authority to act as he thinks best.
A letter from Commodore Gould stating
that Vigilant would be at the starting
line in August in best possible trim for
the trial races was also read. , Commodore
Smith read his letter of acceptance, stat-
ing that the committee would be glad'to
eee Mr. 'Gould’spr‘oposition consummated.
HAWAIIAN REBEL ALLIES.
'A Fishing Sloop Suspected o'f Aiding the
Schooner Walr-lberg.
States revenue cutter Wolcott has just re-
turned from a week’s cruise tO' Sim Luis
Obispo in search of the seven ton sloop A14
calde, which sailed from this port Jan. 31.’
ostensibly on a coasting trip, for which no
clearan cc papers were required. The Wol-
cott, upon returning to San Diego, found
that the Alcalde had returned ,just: ahead
of her and was quietly at anchOr in this
bay. The reason ‘for the search was the
belief of the customs officials that the A1-
oalde was chartered by friends of the He.-
waiian 1evolutionists to meet' the suspect:
ed schooner H. C. Wahlberg, now held)
here, far out at sea. and take from her cer-
tain refugees from Hawaii an(L such prop-
erty as might incriminate the WahlbergI if;
found aboard that sOhOoner. .
Tho schooner Ellen reports seeing the
' Alcalde 400 miles south off the Mexican
coast. Captain Freeman of the Alcalde
asserts he was driven south by stress-of
weather. The customs officials thinkhis
story sufficiently suspicious to justify them
in keeping his vessel under close watch
pending the result of the investigation.
They firmly belicvc the sloop met the
Wahlberg far out at sea. and took her con-
traband cargo and fugitives, and that the
Alcaldo landed hercargo on Mexican soil.

Minneapolis Congregation Shocked by In
Political Address. 1;. .
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 26. —The regular-at-
tendants at Fowler Methodist Episcopal
church were quite shocked by listening to
a. political speech delivered ' within the
walls of their sanctuary. ,
P. W. R. Franklin was advertised to de-
liver a lccturc on “Twenty Years In
Utah. ” It was generally supposedthat he
would confine himself to a. discussiOn of
Mormonism. But after relating some Of
his personal experiences in the territory he
branched off into politics and delivered an
impassioncdnddrcss onth subject of sil-g
vercoinagcf He also referred incidentally}
to the tariff question and particularly de-
nounced the present Democratic congress
.for lowering the tarifi- on lead ore. He'
claimed that this had resulted in bringing
Ameiican labor 1n the- Utah lead mines-
into competition with the cheap labor of"
Mexico.
Mr. Franklin’s address created a. sensa-
tion, inasmuch as it was announced that
he had contributed $5,000 toward raising
the debt on the church.
