Blizzard Anniversary.
To-day is the seventh anniversary of
the greatest storm ever witnessed in
this section of the country since the
introduction of railroads, and known
as “the great blizzard.”
Everybody in this city and in all
parts of the east retains a vivid recol-
lection of the paralysis of business and
commerce at that time. The storm, it
will be recalled, began with a heavy
fall of snow, on a Sunday night, con-
tinued till the next night, to a total
depth of forty-five inches, ofiicial meas-.
urement, with drifts from ten to twenty
five feet deep.
Trains were stalled, wires were down,
cars were blockaded, streets were im-
passable, and a general halt to activity
was called for a week. '
The individual experiences incident
to the blizzard have filled many vol-
umes, both of history and romance.
To-day is by no means a fair day. As
a matter of act it commenced snowing
early this morning ,and it may be that
we shall have a repetition of the storm
of seven years ago.
We can, hOWever, get along very
well without such a storm for at least
another year.

An Experiment in irrigation.
The legislature of Kansas wisely de-
cided to appropriate 11 sufiicient amount
of money for a very important experi-
'f‘he state has suf-
ment in irrigation.
fered almost incalculable injury from
droughts. Many thousands of the.
farming population have abandoned
their lands and emigrated to other
States. The losses from droughts, if
reckoned in cash, would aggregate
cores of mi lions. Taken in connection
with the political maladies that have
cursed the commonwealth, those losses
in population and property have been
a calamitous affliction.
The Legislature proposes to prove, if
possible, the feasibility of irrigating
the region that is especially liable to
drought. It will do this on fithe “gen-
eral welfare” theory. If the experi-
ment is successful, the State Will be
greatly benefitted by it. As there is a
doubt whether. or not it can be made a
success, private individuals cannot be
expected to take the lead. Those who
are most directly and deeply interested
in the matter have been rendered too
impecunious to make investments in
experimental works.
It is claimed that there is an abun-
'dant underflow of water in the semi-arid
region, which is available for irrigation,
but this claim is somewhat conjecture],
resting on an opinion that may not be
based on facts. But if the State proves
that irrigation is practicable, efficient,
I and not too costly, private capital will
be ready to take up the work and carry
it forward. There are millions of acres
of land in Kansas, now barren as a rock,
that need only wat er to transform them
into the most productive farms. Such
a transformation would add enormous-
ly to the taxable property of the State,
and would inaugurate an era bf pros-
perity.
Washington Notes.
Senator Platt is to return to his home
in Meriden on Wednesday.
Congressman .Hill has gone to For-
tress Monroe for a few day’s sojourn at
the great southern hotel Sanitarium

of returning to New York via the Old
Dominion steamship line. I
Considerable anxiety is felt by ex—
‘President Harrison’s friends at the Cap—
ital over private advices as to the seri-
ousness of his illness.
The Tramp Nuisance.
Something should be done to abate
the rapidly increasing number
tramps that infest this city. From
thirty to fifty are furnished lodgings
every night, and they are turned 09
the street in the morning, to visit vari-
ous houses in the city ’01 beg or demand
as best suits them something to eat or
drink. They in most instances make
their calls after such an hour as they
believe there will be no men about,
and in many cases are very insulting in
both language and demeanor. "(A few
arrests might, have the desired effect.

llN ELEVATOR FALLS
Tvio Workman Injured at the Gil-
bert & Bennett Factory in
Georgetown.
One Seriously Hurt and taken to
the Danbury Hospital.
What may prove it fatal accident
occurred in the glue building connect-
ed with the large manufacturing plant
f the Gilbert & Bennett Manufacturing
company at Georgetown, Monday after-
noon.
Frederick Johnson and William Bar-
rett, two workmen at the wire mill
started to take a load up in the glue
factory elevator. The elevator had
passed the second floor when suddenly
the rope holding the heavy iron plat-
form brOke and the two men with the
elevator were precipitated to the ground
floor, two stories below.
The other workmenlin the building
rushed to the scene and rescued J ohn-
son and Barrett as quickly as possible.
Johnson was found to be badly injured
and he was at once taken to the hospital
at Danbury. Barrett was more for-
tunate than his associate, and while
not badly injured received a number of
severe cuts about the head and body.
He was removed to his home where he
now lies.
It is not known just how badly JOhn-
son is injured but it is surmised that
he has been internally injured and his
recovery is doubtful.
The rope used on the elevator had
given no signs of being worn out and
its sudden breaking is a mystery, as it
was thought that it would stand double
the weight placed upon it at the time of
the accident.
The Weight Fell.
At Gregory’s livery stable an iron
weight weighing perhaps 100 pounds is
used on an elevator. Somehow the
weight became detached Monday after-
noon and fallingadistance of fifteen
feet struckT. Winfield Scott, foreman
at the-stables, a hard blow on the back.
Mr. Scott was incapacitited for work as
aresult of the blow and went to his
home in Ridgefield to recuperate.
A Fine Turnout.
One of the finest turnouts ever in
town can be seen at the livery mar t of
H. E. Dann on River Street. The horse
is the well known sorrell “Maxim’il.
lian,” who shines resplendent in a first-
class rubber-trimmed harness, and is
hitched to a Brewster whalebone side-
bar buggy. The horse wears with
much grace, shin, quart-er and knee
boots, and the buggy is neatly provided
with rage, blankets, etc. A $20 whip
rests in the whipsocket. Altogether
there is not alike turnout in Norwalk.
COO—~-
Was Assaulted.
Charles Britt-i walked 11p the railroad
tracks from South Norwalk, last night.
As he was going up an incline known as
Jennings’ hill and near Harbor avenue,
he became engaged in a quarrel with
some one, whom he did not recognize.
Blows were exchanged and there was a
lively scrimmage, the two combatants
clinching and rolling to the foot of the
hill. Britto managed to make his es-
cape with a crushed Derby hat and the
scraping of a. few inches of cuticle from
his face and hands.
May Be Happy Yet.
Says the Westport correspondent of
the Bridgeport Post: “Some of our
citizens‘are so elated over the prospects
of success of trolley road petitions at
Hartford, that they feel almost that
they can begin to arrange for trips to
Cedar Point, Lyons Plains, Southport,
Bridgeport and Norwalk. Some who
do not see Cedar Point once in ten
years are very joyful and declare they
want spring to hurry along so they can
for aifive cent fare go down to bathe and
eat boiled soft shelled clams every fair
day.”

A
BATTLE WITH A PANTHER.
'l'wo Young Men Terribly Wounded In ip
Fight With Ian Enraged Animal. . .1
JUNO; 1715., March 12. ——William Curry -,r
and John CranOi'd two: young "men who
' have been spending the winter here hunt-
ing, were attacked by a panther. Curry
received wounds which are thought to be
fatal, while Crawford will lose an eye.
The young men were out hunting, and.
their dog treed a young panther, which"
they shot, not seeing the mother. ',
The young men laid down their guns;—
and began to skin the animal. They had '
. hardly begun Work when the mother pau- ‘-
ther, which was crouching on a limb of a I
tree overhead, sprang upon them. The
hunters were crushed. to the ground and ;
for a few moments Were at the enraged
"beast’ s mercy. The animal planted its:
:claws in the left side of Curry’ 5 face and
:tore it open. The unfortunate man rolled
over, only to receive another blow from
the claws. In the meanwhile Crawford‘
tried to rise, but the panther struck him
in the right eye. almost tearing out the
ball from the socket. Crawford, although
in agony and half blinded, began to strike
the beast with his hunting knife. He
dealt it blow after blow, the fight taking
place over Curry’ sbody. Finally the knife
found the panther’ 5 heart, and it fell dead
on Curry.
Crawford was so exhausted that he
could not go for assistance, and the man-
gled men lay there till they were rescued
by another party of hunters, and brought
to this place, Curry was feund to be fright-
fully wounded, and the physicians say
that the stroke which the panther dealt
across the abdomen will probably prove
fatal. Crawford’s principal injury is to
the right eye, which will have to be re-
moved. Curry came here from Illinois and
Crawford from Pennsylvania. The pan-
ther is the largest ever killed on Lake
Worth.

-, The Experiment to be Tried in Wicked
Chicago First.
. Priest Raiusford of an ,Episcopal
cago is about to try a saloon experiment,
but without liquor.
He will not sell rum or any other kind '
of intoxicant, for he proposes to compete
for the patronage and influence of the
liquor saloon with what he calls the
“home saloon.” He is going to put in
practical operation the plan he suggested
at the Father Mathew celebration at the
Auditorium several months ago. '
“What, ” he said, “hits the Church or
the temperance movement to offer in a
material way in competition with the sa-
loOnfi ‘thhiiig. I have been investigat-
_ I have had men
at work finding out all about their meth-
ods and the business. We propose to“
apply thosa principles to the conducting
and management of places where we can
offer everything that the saloon. does in
the way of warmth and light and aplace
to sit down, and a place to get something
to eat and something to drink, except in-
toxicants. I have the figures in my
pocket now, and I believe these places
can he made both self-supporting and
self—propagating.
“For 5 cents we can furnish a hut drink
of coffee, tea, or something of the sort ,_or
other non-intoxicating drinks, together
with a. pretty fair meal of bread, meat,
and potato salad, or something of that
sort. For 10 cents we can do very much
better. It is an experiment that has
prOved'suCce’ssful' in ”London, Liverpool, ..
Manchester, and other English cities. It
promises well for Chicago._ It can only be
demonstrated by eXperiment.
“If one proves successful a hundred
will, and we want to locate them right
where they are needed. Our fiist one Will
be opened in the ‘levee’ district probably,
and. others wherever they. can be made
successful. We want them to be as plaCes ; .
' of gatherings for friends and acquaint-
ances, something like the wine shops of
Paris and the Continent. They‘ will be
perfectly respectable.
“People want light and warmth and a.
place where they can feel they have a.
right to be, and therefore it is not aques-
'tion of welcome or privilege. I believe-
such a work as this, if it proves success-
ful, will be worth fifty years of merely
intellectual temperance work. The more'
I study this matter the more I am im-
pressed with its possibilities. One of the
features of it is that it shall be self-sup-
porting. '
“It will be carried on use. part: of the-
general scheme of the’People’s Institute,—
though not necessarily in connection
with the institute. They will be planted
where they can do the most good, and
these places of refreshment where they
are most needed. The institutes will be
educational, r'ecreatii I0, and broadly uni
denominatibnal in their Work. They will
be open seven days and seven nights in
the week. If I had the money it would
cost to establislf one church where, say,
'150 worship Sunday, I could establish two
or three institutes.”
Bishop Fallows will not resign his bis-
hopric nor his connection with St. Paul’s
Church. He could not, in keeping with
the ecclesiastical organization of the Re-
formed Episcopal Church. He will sim-
ply leave the details of parochial work to

DR. DEPEW ON FREE LUNCH.
He Believes It an Ingenious Preparation
for the Destruction of Men’s Souls.
“Free lunchesl” exclaimed the doctor.
”Well, I did say something about free
lunches, didn’t I? And if I’m not misi
taken I referred to them as ingeniOus
preparations, too. Well, they are. I
meant all I said about young men becom:
‘ 111g slaves to drink. It’s a terrible thing,
"arid I think the free lunch is largely re4
sponsible for it. It’s a most ingenious
contrivance; and do you know,” the Doc-
t-or lowered his voice, “do you know that
it’s simply put in a place to make a man
' thirsty? Yes, sir, I tell you that the'free
lunch is composed of food of such a char-
acter that it keeps a man thirsty and
forces him to buy liquor to keep himself
comfortable. It is 11111 ' up of pickled
herring, corned beef, fish cakes,
potatoes, pretzels, cheese, smoked beef,
potato salad, and dozens of other dishes
the main ingredient of which is isa'lt. And
as sure as a man eats free lunch just so
sure will he be a drinking man unless he‘
is possessed of rare self~control. Why, I
tell you the free lunch is morcto blame.
for the number of drunkards around than
anything else. A man takes a drink and
a bite, the bite makes him thirsty and
the drink makes him huugiy, and many
a man who would leave a saloon after
having imbibed one drink will stick all
day as long as the free lunch is there. It
isn’t the drink that keeps him, but the
ingenious make-up of the. free lunch; and
that’s why I say it’s a blotch 011 civiliza-
tion and should be wiped out.
“Perhaps' you wonder how I know all
this. I’ll tell you. I_ travel a great deal,
and wherever Igo I always make it a
pointto talk with the man iiext me. I
ask him his business and make him tell-
me all about it. That’s why I’m always
prepared to address any kind of an audi-
ence on almost any kind of a subject.
Now, among others, I have talked to
many hotel men and liquor dealers,
keepers of fashionable cafes as well'as
German saloon keepers, and, as the free
lunch is a sort of hobby of mine I always
make them tell me about what they
spread out for their customers in the
eating line. I used to Wonder how they
could afferd to spread a free lunch, but
all liquor dealers tell me that it’s the
most paying investment they make, and
I believe it is.”
