The Gould Wedding.

One of the most memorable mar-
riages in so—ealled- high life was cele-
brated at noon to-day, and two happy
persons are reasonably sure that they
have drawn great prizes in the famous
matrimonial lottery.

From the best standpoint, that of the
proper afliliation of man and woman, it
is an equal match. De Castellane, as
seen in the newspaper portraits. is a
good-looking young gentleman, and no
doubt a man of sufficient cultivation
and gentlemanly impulses ; while Miss
Gould is a clever girl, personally pre-
possessing, and not the victim of any
family tyranny or coercion.

The ages are suitable, so there is
none of the January and May business.
Nor is there any other evident obstacle.
Perhaps half the young fellows in Nor-
walk would be glad enough to get $2,-
000.000 for marrying a pretty girl, and
perhaps half the pretty girls could be
easily persuaded to marry a handsome
count, not known to be vicious.

The Deadly Trolley.

The New York state Board of Rail—
road Commissioners has been looking
into some of the awful casualties inci-
dent Ito I trolley management in Brook-
1,711, and has made some recommenda-
tions which will commend themselves
t1 all people except, perhaps, the d1—
rectors of the trolley companies.

Among Other precautions, it is rec-
ommended that the speed of cars while
crossing streets shall not exceed four
miles an hour; that speed shall be re-
dieed to the minimum at all curves
where the view is obstructed ; that no-
where, even in the suburbs, shall the
speed exceed twelve miles an hour, and
that no one shall be on the front plat-
form 10 distract the attention of the
man at the wheel.

Another most important recommen—
(Illthll is that an efficient guard or
safety fender shall be attached to each
c.1r. 'I'hc companies are urged notto
Wait until a perfect fender is devised,
but to get the best in use at present,
and improve upon them if possible. At
the same time, says the Board, the
intention of railway officials and em-
ployee should be that while the cars
may be equipped with the best fenders
proourablc, they should also be so
Operated as to make the use of the
fender unnecessary.

Found Dead in His Hut.

James Fithatriek, the famous Derby
hermit, was found dead in his hut Sun.
day morning He had not been seen
for several days and a searching party
found him dead on the floor. Half a
century ago he was a very prominent
person, but he was disappointed' in love

to a woman.

Who Stole the Sled ?

Some four or five weeks ago, some
one stole a hand—sled from Dr. Bald.
win’s dooryard. The theft was re~
ported to Chief Bradley who ferretted
out the fact that an Italian lad named
Scappello was an interested party to
the theft. Scappello on being inter-
viewed said that a boy named “Tom”
Kelly stole the sled and sold it. This
morning the chief arrested Kelly who
claimed that Scappello was the thief
and that he had been given but one
slide on the sled. The Itallian has also
been placed under arrest and this eve-
ning both lads will be given an oppor-
tunity to untangle the puzzle as to
which or who stole the sled.

Special News.

The GAZETTE on Tuesday, February
26111, published a number of Washing-
ton notes sent by Mr. Byington.
Among them was one announcing the

service, published the item almost
verbatim as a special Washington dis-
patch.

COO—

BROAD RIVER.

Reports current in Broad River and
vicinity of the return of Elder Parsons,
of whom much'has been said, to con-
tinue his labors, was fully realized by
his reappearance and preaching at the
school house Friday night. The follow-
ing evening a co-Jaborer in the person of
ElderF. M. Sheehy of Boston, who is
also the presiding elder of the Massa~
chusetts District of the Church of the
LatterDay Saints, was prescnt. We
learn from the elder that the state dis-
trict contains ten or more churches of
the denomination in a fairly prosperous
condition. Elder Sheehy preached in
the school house Saturday night using
fora text, “I Perceive that God is no
Respecter of Persons. But in every
Nation he that Beareth Him and Work-
eth Righteousness is Accepted with
Him.” He used numerous passages of
the Bible to show that God accepted all
who worship Him in “spirit and in
truth” which worship be defined as
being in truth when it is in harmony
with the Bible which contains God's
word. “In vain do you worship me
teaching for doctrine the command-
ments of men,” was the Saviour’s
arraingment of the sectarians of his day
which the speaker said was in force to-
day when men made void the word of
God by their traditions; that many now
cared more about their paIticular de-
nominationalism than they did the
truth, as witness the effort now going
on in certain creeds to maintain the
belief in infant damnation and total
depravity, etc. He urged the necessity
of all being governed by the Bible truth
no matter how it might cut into cher-
ished and preconceived ideas.

Sunday at 10. 30, a fair sized audience
greeted Elder A. H. Parsons, when he
preached from the 16 chapter and 31
verse of Acts, “Believe on Ithe Lord
Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.”
He endeavored to prove that a nominal
belief was at a discount in the teaching
of Christ, that character was formed
by doing and not Simply a belief.
“Not even one that saith unto me
Lord, Lord shall enter the Kingdom of
Heaven but he that death the will of
our father in Heaven.” To do as
Christ commanded required repentance
and baptism and the laying on of hands
for the gift of the Holy Ghost. He
criticised the sentiment in certain
poetry which teaches “that doing is a
deadly thing ye cannot do at all.”

The meetings will be continued dur-
ing this week at Broad River and Silver
Mine. A movement is under way to
build a chapel in the near future at
Broad River and subscriptions are now
being made for it. There are tobe
more baptisms also, ere long. At last
night’s services there were nearly one
hundred persons present.

Fire at Rowavton.

A place kept by a man named
“Chris” Larsen, and “dubbed” as the
“Old Homestead” was burned to the
ground shortly after 12 o’clock last
night. Mr. Larsen had applied fora
license but there were a number of re-
mIonstrants, and so far as we can learn
no license had been granted.

The fire destroyed the building and
contents and the destruction seems to
have been complete. A friend of Mr.
Larson’s places the latters loss at $1,600.

The building was owned by Alexan-
der Raymond upon which there is an
insurance of $1, 500. Larsen held an
insurance on his stock for $800 and $400
on furniture.

The following letter from Hubert E.
Bishop who sailed on the steamer La-
Tourame will be of interest to our
readers. It was written, from Nice,
Feb. 20th to his uncle W. F. Bishop of
this city:

Grand Hotel Chateau Baumettes,
Nice, Feb. 20th 1895.—It is just two
weeks to—day since leaving home but
we have had many varied experiences
in that short time. The voyage was
rough and stormy and it rained every
day for a week. The second day out
was especially rough and nine out Of
every ten persons were sick, myself' 1n-
cluded. l was all right the next day,
however, and have been feeling much
bettensince. We reached the Azores
on the 6th day and steamed into the
harbor of Fayal so as to give us a view
of the town, but did not leave the ship
as Pinta Delgado. was to be the first
stopping place. The latter was some
thirty-five miles distant and by the time
we reached it the wind had increased to
hurricane force making it impossible to
land. We therefore went direct to
Lisbon, and, in spite of rain one minute
and sunshine the next, managed to see
the city thoroughly No one regretted
having gone there as all were most
agreeably suiprised, including many
old travellers who said that it Was as
fine as any European city not excepting
Paris. It's is, however, so far out of the
way, and so little known that It is sel-
dom visited by tourists. After twelve
hours journey Gibralter was reached
and all went ashore and saw the forti-
fications and shops, leaving in the even~
ing for Barcelona. En route to the
latter place, we steamed very close to,
the shore, being enabled to do so by
the fact that the mountains rise abrupt-
ly from the sea. At times we were no
more thana quarter of a mile from
shore and in this way we saw many
towns which were very interesting.
Sunday was spent 1n Barcelona but no

one would have suspected the day as_

everything was going on as usual. 1n
the afternoon, however, the whole town
was parading up and down the avenues
and one could easily imagine that he
was on Fifth avenue. There was just
as much style and the streets themselves
certainly compared very favorably with
the latter thoroughfare. It is on the
whole a very up to date city. Marseilles,
the next point, is a shipping and manu-
facturing city with nothing of conse-
quence to see. We left the steamer at
that point, and after visiting Games,
Nice and Monte Carlo we Will rejoin
her at Villefrance. We are at Nice t1-
day and as to-morrow the Carnival of
Flowers will be held, the city is very
much crowded. We, however, leave
early in the morning for a. fifteen mile
drive along the shores of the Mediter-
ranean to Monte Carlo and Mentone at
which latter place will spend the night,

and sail for Naples the following day.
The service on board is very good and
everything very comfortable. We have
an excellent orchestra and nearly every
evening while on board there is an en-
tertainment provided by a committee
appointed by the passengers for that
purpose. The evenings are thus passed
very pleasantly, The ladies have all
been out shopping to- day and as read-
ing, writing and sitting room is all in
one, the amount cf noise is amply sufii

cient to keep a fellow from thinking
what he is writing about.

WENT l0_____ HIGH RIDGE

John Br'IotliIer'ton ang Iilorence
Lockwood Elope.

Made One by a. New York State
Dominie.

This morning, John Brotherton, aged
19~ years, “sprung a surprise” on his
mother, Mrs. Theodore Brotherton, at
the breakfast table, by staying, “Mam-
ma, I was married last night.” Not
seeing any wife around, his mother
asked for a further explanation, and
elicited the information that in com-
pany with Miss Florence Lockwood he

had the night before visited the resi—.

of a clergyman in Pound Ridge, N. Y.,
and had been duly and legally “tied
up” to the young lady of his choice.

In answer to the query as to where
his wife then was, he replied, “ I guess
she has gone to work.”

Some time since Mr. Brotherton met
Miss Lockwood at a ball in the Armory
where he'had charge of the soda water
stand. At the 01059 of the ball he ac-
companied her to the home of her
mother, Mrs. Charles Tanner on Knight
street. For some reason they were re-
fused admittance, and Mr. Brotherton
gallantly asked her to’ go to his home,
reaching which he provided her with
an easy. chair in the parlor and retired
to his‘ room without mentioning to any-
one in the house that there was a guest
present.

Miss Lockwood went to work as usual
the next morning and no one in the
house was any the wiser for her having
spent the night'therc. Later, however,
the story leaked out with the result of
the finale at Pound Ridge, Sunday
evening.

Mrs. Brotherton will probably take
up her residence with her mother-ins»
law, Mrs. Theodore Brotherton, w1th'

out regard to the happiness or unhap--

piness of Mrs. Tanner.
“They are welcome” said Mrs.
Brother'ton. to a GAZETTE reporter,

this morning, “but I haven’ t seen them

Hartford and Waterbury birds, the
former birds winning ten of the eleven
battles.

Talked to. the Point.

Last evening, at'the Chapel of Our
Holy Saviour, Rev. Mr. Pond preached
a plain and practical sermon in refer-
ence to the proper observance of the
Lenten season by his parishioners. He
couched his remarks in no uncertain
words, and while perhaps there were
those present who winced, what he said
will no doubt have the desired effect.

The Conference Not Dissolved. I

WASHINGTON, Marcln4.——The'debatc in
congress on the subject of an international
monetary conference shows that it is not
generally understood that the last mone-
tary conference has never been formally
dissolved and that the commission on the
part; of the United States to that confer-
ence is really still 1n existence. The Brus-
sels conference, as is known, adjourned with
the understanding that it would convene
at the call of the United States, but since
then no official notice of any sort has been
given, and some authorities hold that the
conference, never having been formally dis-
solved, is still in existence and can be re-
convencd by the president if he so desires.

bidden by the Russian government to ap-

pear at the Warsaw theater because of a '

lecture on the oppression of the Poles, de-
livered by her during the World’s fair, was
not a surprise to Ralph Modjeska, son of
the well known actress, who lives in this
city. _ In a letter just received by him,
Mme. IModjcska writes:

“The Russian government is forbidding
me to play in Poland. I must tell you how
this happened. While I was in Posen a

me more determined than ever to go to

CITY OF MEXICO, March 4.——The railway
accident is far worse than first reports in-
dicated. At least 130 bodies have been re-
covered from the wreck, and many still re

ful manner in which they were mutilated
when the wreck took place. Sometimes
heads were severed and the bodies crushed
out of all semblance to the human form.

to account for his losing control of the
train as it rounded a curve. "
