Vhile trade away from the great cities continues dull there are indications that there will soon be an improve- ment. Since the adjournment of Con- gress the general conditions of the country haveimproved. The business , men show more confidence and are - making larger purchases in the markets, and abandoning the cautious methods which have marked the doings of re- tiiiers for the past two years. The un- certainty concerning the future of cer- tain grades of high cost goods makes the demand for them light, and the increased demand is principally for goods of a cheap grade. This increase of trade will improve the traffic of the railroads, and there promises soon to be more trade and more business as the result of the enterprise and energy of American capitalists. How Many? How many parties will show up at the judges’ Stand for the Presidential race of 1896 ? is a question that cannot be answered with any degree of accur- acy at this time, says the Washington Post. We shall, of course, have the two old parties in tolerably good form, the Republicans inSpired by recent vic- tories, and the Democrats nerved to a desperate effort by recent disasters. The Populists will be on hand, and will hope to greatly improve on their sur- prising performance Of 1892. True the elections of last year were dishearten- ing to them in their strongholds in the West, but they made gains in the South, and they mean to capture states in that section. Whether or not this intention will be carried into effect depends on events that cannot now be forecast. rIhe Prohibition party will make its customary effort. It will not expect to carry a state or a district, but its mem- bers will stand up to be counted for conscience sake. The newly—organized Silver party is a factor whose strength is now indeterminablc. It may be that one or both of the old parties will take such ground on the silver question that there will be nO room for the new or- Just now everything in this connection is wide open. Great developments are likely; to happen in tie next fifteen months—the time that will elapse before the campaign of ’96 ganization. will be Opened Latayette Hall, in Pittsburg, where the Republican party is said to have 11111 its birth, was the scene Of another ‘ The at- tclidunce was not large and the names of the scooucheurs have not hitherto swelled the trump of fame, but their new party is ready for business. It stands on the “pivotal principles” of “recognizing God as the author of civil government” and “the abolition Of the drink traffic,” with the incidental s.:ttlcment of other issues by declaring amouchement a few days ago. for “such other economicfiinancial and industrial reforms as are needed in this cmntry.” This appears like an invasion of the domains of the Prohibition party and the old party that is accustomed to stand on the single plank of "God in the Constitution.” The chances are that even the frestigc of a burning in that historic hall will not‘givc long life to this organization. But the declara- tion for “such other economic, financial and industrial reforms as are needed in this country” is an immense opening. It embraces all platforms and manv creeds.

An adjourned meeting of the City Council was held Monday evening, President Osborn and the full board being present. Bills to the amount of $321 77 were ordered paid. The petition of Mrs. Mary Brennan for permission to erect a frame dwel- ling-house on Leonard streetwwas, grant- ed, as was also a like petition from James Morris to erect a frame building on Wilton avenue. A communication from Fred J. Bedi— ent asking for remuneration from the city for expenses incurred during the time his home was quarantined by reason of the prevalence in his family of measles, was referred to the city clerk for investigation. A petition from Frederick Betta ask- ing the city to accept a street known as Springwood avenue, 700 feet in length and 45 feet in width and running from East avenue parallel with St. John ave- nue was read. After some discussion as to whether the city had the power to open a new street without proceeding in the man- ner specified in Sec. 39 of the city or- dinances, the matter was referred to the highway committee, to report at the next meeting Of the council. A petition, the granting of which had been recommended by the water com- missioners, praying for the laying of a water main on Springwood avenue, at a cost Of $275 was read, but no action was taken on the same. A petition for a sewer ’ 500 feet in length on the same avenue, met with a like fate. It was deemed advisable by the coun- oil that no action be taken on the two latter petitions until such time as the avenue should be accepted by the city or until the report of the highway com- mittee had been reached. A numerously signed petition asking that band stands be erected on one or both of the parks in this city, was read and referred to the highway committee. The report of the chairman of the highway committee on the petition pre- sented at a previous meeting of the council, from the Norwalk .1: South Norwalk Electric Light company, pray- ing for permission to erect platform scales on the sidewalk in front of the company’s property on Wilton avenue, provoked considerable discussion. Councilman Smith reported that he in company with Councilman Pinnco and Engineer Wood had made a thor- ough investigation. He had consulted with the corporation counsel as to the legality of granting the prayer of the petitioners, and that while personally he was at first in favor of granting the petition, the fact that property owners (Messrs. William Sheldon, Burr Smith and George A. Othame,) living on Wilton avenue, objected to the placing of the scales, it was his opinion that the city hadno legal right to grant such petition, and that being the fact he was not in favoriand could not :recommend the granting of the same. Corporation counsel Lock wood said that while he could not see that any specific damage would be done by placing the scales on the sidewalk, he did not believe the city had the right to take public property for private use. Had arrived at this conclusion from a legal standpomt. ‘ The matter upon by Councilmen Pinneo,‘ Wheeler, Boyer and Chinery, in which discussion the information was elicited that side- walks, curb and gutter had been order- ed on that avenue. After a suggestion that the petition- ers be given leave to withdraw, it was final] v voted that the petition be tabled. Councilman Chinery of the fire com- mittee reported that he had made arrangements for the ' furnishing of horses needed in case of fire, and that he had also had a fire alarm placed in a position to alarm the driver of the horses, and at no expense to the city the alarm having been presented to the . citv from the Gamewell Fire Alarm company, gratis. In reference to the petition for a fire alarm at the Electric Light stition he did not think it advis- able that a box be placed at that point. His report was accepted. The council then adjourned. Knocked Down. As James Ladrigan was crossing Wall street opposite the Boston Store, this morning, he was run into by a horse driven by Andrew Johnson the black- smith. Ladrigan was knocked down, and Johnson quickly st )pde the horse. The unlucky man was taken into Slat- tery’s barber-shop and after the blood had been washed, from 'his face it was found that he had escaped with slight scratches on his nose and right ear. Fortunately Johnson was not driving rapidly at the time also the result might have been serious. no.—————--—- Good Luck, John. The Danbury Dispatch has passed from the old to new management.

A shorttime since, as reported in the GAZETTE, a sale, or what purported to be asale, was made by Joseph Matheis, of what is known as S‘ iddy block, to Daniel Conley. An agreement was drawn 11p by Attorney Warner, and Matheis received in cash $100 from Conley to guarantee the sale. Mr. Conley, it is since report-ed, was acting for M. Ratchford. When it came to the matter of giving a deed of the pl 3) ty it was found that the title to the same rested in a joint deed between Matheis and his de- ceased wife, the will of the latter having never been probated. Matheis went through the necessary form of having the will probated, and also changed his mind in regard to selling the property, and returned the forfeit of $100. It now transpires that Matheis had some time previously placed the proper- ty in the hands Of James Mitchell to sell. Through Attorney Austin, Mitch- ell claims a commission amounting to , something over $180, alleging that the sale was a bona fide one,and he propos- es holding Matheis t1 the bargain, at least to the extent of getting his com- mission. Matheis says, “as there was no sale, and I had no legal right to sell I cannot see how Mitchell can collect a commis- sion.” Friends of the parties interested are striving to bring about a settlement of the matter outside of the courts. Amusements. Horr’s OPERA HOUSE. It was a happy thought that chose “A Midsummer Nights’ Dream” for Mr. Underhill’s opening to—night, at Hoyt’s Opera House, for it gives broad- er opportinity for the display of all the genius of the impersonatir than any- thin}r else in Shakespeare.

WASHINGTON, ‘Ma‘rch 19.—Senator Teller does not regard very seriously the possible effect of Japan’ 5 d'cznnuding'a large war indemnity from (Shim-.111 gold and is of the opinion that instead of injuring the cause of silver it'will aid it. “Ivhave no fear, ” he said today, “that in that event Japan Will go to a gold basis. The people there have too long been accustomed to the use Of silver, and the country is too prosperous and progressing too rapidly with matters as they are for them to de- sire a. change. Naturally, however. and notwithstanding the popularity of silver for local purposes, they will ask that the indemnity be paid in gold, because of its greater purchasing power in Europe and America, with which continents Japan has large dealings, and because she will have probably contracted a war debt. Still, if Japan should conclude to go to a gold basis, that fact would only increase the scramble for gold and would be another circumstance to show the inadequacy of the gold supply. “Leaving out of consideration what. Ja- pan may decide to do with reference to a monetary basis. the demand upon China for, say, $200,000, 000 in gold, would neces- sitate a great scurrying about fer the metal. China does not collect anything exceeding $15,000,060 in gold annually on her import duties. and that is the only way the government has of getting gold in the ordinary course of business. It would, therefore, be necessary that she should go into the market with her bonds and raise. the 'gold in America and Europe. In that event fully two-thirds of the amount would be taken from this country, and any one may easily see what a. drain it would prove. “This would also become a great object lesson and would, I believe, strengthen the silver cause.” Peace In Doubt Again. LONDON, March 19.—«A dispatch to the “It is reported that China has a secret agreement with Russia whereby the latter is to inter- vene if J apan insists upon any territorial ccssion as the price of peace.

WAsnruerouyM March 19. -—The Italian lynching incident is practically closied so far as it involves the relations of, the Unit- ed States and Italy, and instead of leaving irritation appears to hav 0 resulted in fur- ther strengthening the friendly‘rclations between the countries; Embassador Fave takes this view of the incident and 16x- presses his appreciation of the promptness and energy with which the federal authori- ties and those of Colorado sought to se- cure for Italians the same protection and ‘ redress as that. given American citizens. The state department is pleased with the course of Baron Fava, who made no pro- test beyond presenting thc facts as tele- graphed by the Italian consul at Denver, and at the same time assured the Italian government that the authorities here-Were doing everything in their power. It'is not doubted now that Governor MGIntire will be fully able to deal with the question with- out further communication from Washing- ton. Thc embassador believes that the re‘ cent trouble in Colorado, as well as that in New Orleans, will further awaken a sentiment for a national law by which the United States can see that full treaty pro- tection is given to foreigners even though they be within the jurisdiction of the states. After the New Orleans lynchings a strong sentiment for such a. law sprang up. It can be stated authoritatively that the reports circulated of Baron F ava’ s proba- blc transfer to a European post are ground- less. Appointed by the President.
