FaKe Press Dispatches.
Norwalk is afflicted with two or more .
penny-a-line news fakirs who are a dis-
grace to the town. The latest effort on
their part was the sending out to the
presis of the state a fake report of the
entertainment given by the South Nor-
walk Athletic club on Friday evening
last. Not satisfied with giving the
names of the winners of thedifl'erent
“bouts” they added the lying statement
that the Chief Of Police was obliged to
enter the ring in the last contest and
stop the exhibition.
Nothing of the kind occurred, nor
Was there any occasion for police inter-
ference. The different boxing “bouts”
vwere exhibitions of scientific sparring
and not prize fights as these news fakirs
would have the readers of the state
pipers believe.
While it may be necessary for these
fakirs to earn a penny by sending out
press dispatches, it is not necessary for
them to stoop to donwright lying to
make their reports sensational.
Such ice as these hurt the town as
well as the Athletic club, and even
though they bring in a miserable
pittance to the sender the latter should
at least have enough love and respect,
if Not pride for the town, to restrain
them from sending outlying dispatches
unless they desire to injure Norwalk
as well as the popular SN. A. C.

A New Cup Hunter.
While American yachtsmcn have been
wondering how fast will be the new
Valkyrie, which is to try to take the
America’s cup back to England, there
h is been built a new cutter good enough
to handsomely beat one of the old Val-
kyrie’s best English opponents.
lhe Ail :a, designed, of course, by
Fife, beat the Lr itannia handsomely
although it was her first race and she
Wis not yet “tuned up,” as yachtsmen
say. Any boat that can beat the Bri-
trnnia, demands the respectful yet in-
consideration Of, American
yachtsmen. It is ,said that the new
out or will never stand up to her can-
vas as well as the Britannia, but at the
season of international yacht races on
this side of the Atlantic the chances are
against heavy weather.
It Lord Dunraven’s new yacht does
not win the America’s cup the Allen
may be depended upon to try for it.
There is work ahead for our designers
quiring
and sailors. -

O.‘#
He is now our Congressman.
It is now Congressman E. J. Hill.
His honors and his salary of about $4.50
per month, as Representative from the
Fourth District of Connecticut to the
lower house of the National legislature,
commenced at noon on Monday, March,
4th. Mr. Hill is still in Washington,
viewing the solemn sadness with which
the large army of extinct congressman
are departing from their place in the
House, which shall know them no more
forever, and he no doubt reflects upon
the fact that these expired statesmen
appeared in Washington only two years
ago, as elate as any of the new crop
of 1894.“

' a friend with the result that what he
had been years in accumulating was
swept away. .
He pluckily kept at work, and man-
aged to give his children a good educa-
tion. In his declining years those
children have done much to repay him
by a loving kindness and care that
must have proved oi .’-' .ct solace.
For some time past “Cheri ev” as he

gaged in the conduct of an intelligence

every episode has a distinct bearing.
The company is said to be an except-

AT WAR OVER COAL RATES.
. Tito Lehlgh Valley aux] Jersey Conn.“
Roads Against the Reading.
' PHILADELPHIA, March 11. —Thc Lchighi
Valley and J era:7 Central railroad com-
panies have jointly agreed not to yield to
the demand of the Reading railroad re-
ceivers for an increased share of the joint
through rate on shipments of anthracite
coal from the mines of the former roads to
this city and intervening points.
It is stated that this decision was
reached at the meeting of the general traf-
fic managers in Bethlehem. It was decid-
ed to maintain the existing rates from the
mines to Bethlehem and Allentown, the
points of connection with the Reading sys-
tem, and not to accept the new arbitration
through rate proposed 'by the Reading.
cc, if the‘ latter. company is to get a
higher rate for its haul from these junc-
tions to this city, it will be at the expense
of the coal dealers and not of the two roads
at which the blow is aimed.
This means’that the fight is on, and that
the Lehigh Valley and Jersey Central will
be shut out of the markets on the Reading
lino unless some of the dealers are willing
to pay the higher tolls to be asked by the
Reading.
They will not, hovvevcr, be forced to
abandon the local market altogether. It is
a fact not generally known mine the Le-
.high Valley-ships twice as much coal via‘
the Pennsylvania railroad as by way of
the Reading. An official of the Lehigh
Valley company, said today that they would
lose nothing by the Reading’s action-
They will, he said, ship more coal over the
Belvidore division of the Pennsylvania
railroad, and more cool will be shpped to
tidewatcr as a result of the Lehigh Valley
being deprived of the market on the Read
lug lines.
