The Occident to Orlent.
The young Maples of the Hour, are
fully justified in their cxhuberant'pride
and enthusiasm over the weekly con-
tributions of their now regular, able
and interesting occidental correspond-
ent, Congressman Hill, who is now
touring the “wild and woolly west” with
Maples pore inaSiamese-twin, Chang
and Eng, spiritual intimacy and per-
sonal closeness.
ultation of the.Maples saplings:—
"Congressmau Hill, who with .Mr.
Maples, is sightseeing in California,
has an unusally interesting letter in this
issue of the Hour. It is written in Mr.
Hill’s happiest vein and indicates that
the. Norwalkers are not permitting dis-
appointment at losing the Honolulu
steamer to interfere with their recrea»
tic-11. And particularly gratifying, is
the news contained in telegrams re-
ceived during the week, that both tra:
vclers are enjoying the best of health.’
Then note these extracts from the
facile pen of the exuberant Congress-
man himself. -—
“No man shoul d travel in foreign
lands, with the splendo1s of Yosemite
unvisited, and the greatness of the
Pacific coast unseen.”
True as gospel preaching, and such
patriotic sentiments must go far towards
comforting Queen Lill and all who
have felt disappointment and sorrow at
our great, American tourists, missing
the two steamers for Honolulu. Next :—
“Leaving San Francisco at five in
the afternoon, and dining and sleeping
as we traveled, we waked at Raymond
in the morning, and after a hearty
breakfast, took our places in the coach
and locked with eager eyes towards the
snow-capped peaks, into the very heart -
of which we journeyed, seventy miles
beyond.
“The New Englander who stays at
home, or only travels by a street car or
a railroad, can have little conception
of the delightful sensation that one ex-
periences in a long journey on a moun-
tain stage coach, roomy, covered over-
head but open on every side so that the
view is unobstructed, broad-wheeled
and under complete control by power-
ful brakes, drawn by four and six-horse
teams that are changed every two hours,
and guided by drivers who know and
Call each horse by name, and , who will
swing the whole establishment at an
amazing speed around a turn on the
mountain side, in a narrow roadway,
with a straight wall of rock above and
a yawning depth below and miles of
nothingness apparently ahead, with his
whip picking a fly from the leader’s
flank, and with a fund of stories that
outclasscs every effort of the passen-
gers. All in all,
coach is an institution that I trust Will
long survive and give a real sensation
to every visitor to the valley. Three
ranges of mountains are crossed by a
well built road. and the journey is
broken by a good dinner 'at Ahwahnee,
an Indian name forHappy Valley.”
Then, rising to a sublime climax, de-
spite the depressing fact that their
driver could tell bigger whOppers than
‘ either the Congressman or Editor, and
full of the “good dinner”and the “din-
iugj’ materials and memories, the writer
thus grandly peroratcs:
“Think of riding for miles and miles
and hour after hour under such a can-
opy as this until the muscles of the
‘neck were strained, and the eyewearied
in following them along their splendid
length, until, six thousand seven hun«
dred and fifty feet above the sea, in the
purest air man ever breathed, above
he snow, above the cloilds, the moun-
tain top of the last range before we
were to reach our journey’s end was
gained, and even there these grand
spires of God’s temple stood pointing
heavenward.”
We blush to say it, but truth demands
the confession, that the rarified air of
those lofty mountains, whose "peaks
clothed in eternal snows which have
stood as grim sentinels since sunrise at
creation’s mom, to greetthe sun in its
coming and have blushed with radiant
light, as the god of day plays its last
bopecp and sinks beneath wild Pacific
billows—does impress and elate one,
and it has greatly improved the quality
of our Congressman’s diction and rhe-
tciic, ovei the drc my and wearing ef-
forts made in the political canvass to
Hear this modest ex-i
the Yosemite stage-_
enthuse voters. The graces-the learned
in the Union school and at Yale, the
lurid flights of fancy and gems and
studied arts of speech, with which we
all became so familiar, are now lost to
view, by this new Pacific coast inspira-
ticn.
Having ourselves taken this California
mountain ride with sky-splitting peaks
above and fathomless abysses yawning
below, with our six-in-hand on a furious
run down the narrow road cut in pris-
tine rock, we well understand how our
Congressman’s fancy scars and scars
far above the blue empyrean and dances
- in mad delight among the shining stars.
In' ,fancy, we can see this ecstatic pair of
brothers locked hand in hand, like. wan-
ton boys, slipping up, and taking a to-
boggan slide down some awe inspiring
glacier to thcruination of their trousers.
And loving and beautiful in their lives,
in their glacial slide, only their pants,
and not their hearts, were divided.
Then as they mount the top-most crag
of some untrod mountain peak, we fancy
him breaking forth in weird song some-
thing like this--
“High old Cascades:
My thoughts are great,
,Magnifieent and deep.
As I look up to thee!
Heavens! What a glorious place
For washing sheep.
Your cataracts would be!
That Moses never mentioned yo I wonder,
While other things describin.
e co how it must have snowed
MY consci n [and thundeged,
When the deluge was subsidin’.
I wonder how long you’ve been a roarin’
At this infernal rate!
I wonder if all you’ve been a pourin’
Could be ciphered on a. slate?
I wonder how y 9 must ha’ sounded
When all round here was woods?
Spose like some Iniins have been drowned
When rains have swelled ycr floods?
’Spose like wild stags and bufialos,
Have stood where now I stand,
And if perchance they stubbed their toes.
Ilwonder where they’d land!
Big Shasta! my thoughts are great,
Magnificent and deep,
As I look up to thee!
Such thoughts I ne’er expect to have
again
To all eternity.”
It is noticeable that when the eagle
screams, the owl keeps silence! Not a
word, not e’en a whisper nor a peep,
from Maples pare. This is according to
the eternal fitness of. things. When a
live Congressman gets loose, in the aw-
ful surroundings of nature in her most
earth keep silence.
One thing is now settled; when our
to take his place in Congress, he will
rank with our brightest and most elo-
quent public men. His name and fame
is sure to be more or less sensational.
This may, and no doubt will,(as it does
now to a slight degree,)disturb easy go-
ing people with anxieties and prod their
imagination, but that is no fault of his.
If when he dawns upon Congress, he
should-not be able to repressthis tropi-
cal luxuriance of descriptive power and
yield, as new members so often do, to
intemperate thirst for frequency to be
heard, it may excite the apprehensive
amazement of older and more conser-
vative members, but their alarm will
always be tempered with a degree of
respect and admiration for the irrepres-
sive redundancy and enthusiasm of his
nature. If these ecstatic outbursts of
language follow him to Washington,
we fear other Congressmen may be pro-
voked to'flocd him with florid rhetoric.
Be that as it may, with a few of these
illusions dissipated, our-Congressman
will still impress all with his large pos-
sibilities of public usefulness, his dis—
tinct ability, his varied and solid at-
tainments, his high purpose, his good
looks and attractive manners. And may
E. J’s shadow never be less.
Green Goods Man’s Funeral.
The body of the green goods man,
Daniel Scribner, was taken to Bridge-
port, Saturday. After a ‘short funeral
service conducted by Rev. E. K. Hold-
en, the remains were placed in the re-
ceiving vault at Mountain Grove ceme-
tery. They will be removed to New
York for final interment later on. Mrs.
Scribner and one or two friends were
the only mourners.
Mrs. Scribner had an interview with
Coroner Doton in which she made a dc-
mand for the horse and carriage and
the $168 in good money. The coroner
refused to turn the property over just
yet. He is reasonably satisfied that the
woman is Scribner’s widow, but he will
not part with the property until all
legal requirements are complied with,

Burglars at Work.
Early on Saturday morning burglars
made an attempt to burglarize the meat
market of A. Avison at the corner of
Main and Harriet streets, ,
They had succeeded in removing the
putty from the office window near the
safe when they were heard by Mrs. G.
D‘. Daniels. who resides over the store.
She arose and the burglars made a has-
ty departure. '

111111311 ACCIDENT.
A 15-YearL01d Boy Ground to Death
Oil the Railroad.
Eddle Crawford the Vlotlm.
1.-
Eddic, the fifteen-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Andrew Crawford, of 99 Har-
about 9 o’clock, Saturday night.
Early in the evening, he came up
town with his mother, and while she
was making some purchases in Bogar-
dus’ market he sat on the steps leading
thereto. Just then a freight train came
along and stopped at the station nearby,
and he ran down to the crossing and in
company with two other lads named
Donnelly and Valentine, clambered up
on a freight car and rode to thc wharves
of the railroad company near South
Norvmlk where most of the switching
of trains is done.
At that point the tracks‘ are being
raised and there are continuous piles of
sand on either side of them. AS near
as can be learned, young Crawford
after the train had stopped, jumped off
and was running back on the top of the
bank of sand when he ran into a switch
signal directly opposite the entrance to
the Pine Island cemetery, which dazed
him. He was seen to throw his coat up
around his face, and start to cross: the
tracks but as he did so the switcher
came along, and he was hurled under
the wheels and literally ground to
pieces.
The train was stopped and with torch
and lantern two bi-akcmeu went back
and found the body with head decapi-
tated, lying along side the tracks and
further on a leg and foot and one arm.
A strechcr was procured and the man-
gled, remains of the poor little fellow
taken to the station at South N orwalk,
and afterwards turned over to the
charge of Undertaker David W. Ray-
mond and transferred to his morgue.
Coroner Burke was summoned and gave
a verdict of accidental death.
In the meantime the father of the boy
and other members of the family then
at home, were notified of the accident,
and some one told the boy’s mother as
she was on the way home from doing
the errands she had started out for in
company with the boy less than an hour
before.
Her feelings can be better imagined
than described. Kind friends accom-
panied her home and did all in their
power to assuage the grief of the sadly
afflicted parents.
The remains were kept at the morgue
until yesterday noon when they were
placed in a casket, after which the eas-
ket was sealed ’up and taken to the
home he had left the night before full
of life, animation and happiness.
The two lads who accompanied him
on the fatal ride ran to their homes and
went to bed without saying a word
about the accident, so thoroughly
frightened-were they.
Eddie’s mother had only that after~
noon purchased him a new suit of
clothes which he was to wear at the
services held in St. Mary’s church,
yesterday. He attended the Over River
school and is said to have been a faith-
ful pupil.
It is a common pr acticc for lads from
12 to 16 years of age to flaoard freight
trains while they are being switched in
this city, and the wonder is that similar
accidents have not occurred before this
one. It is a terrible warning to other
boys, but will it be headed?
The funeral took place from St.
Mary’s church at 9 o’clock this morn-
mg.
The pallbearers were Eddie Donnell y,
.Tommy Reynolds, Willie Cooncy,
Johnnie Henry and Jimmy Hines.
There was a profusion of flowers,
noticeable among which was an elegant
pillow from his playmates, a bunch of
reset: from his friend Johnnie McGow-
an, a basket of choice flowers and a
beautifuLcross.
Unlon Service.
The Union memorial services of the
Congregational, Baptist and Methodist
churches at the latter’s place of worship
yesterday, were of an unusally interest-
ing character. The choir rendered the
Star Spangled Banner most pleasingly
at the opening. Rev. M. Robbins read
the Sciptures, Dr. Noble a fervent, pat-
riotic prayer and Rev. Mr. Wyatt, who
was chaplain in glorious “Ben” Tracy’s
New York Regiment, preached an
earnest and effective discourse. The
cidedly rich musical treat. There were
about seventy-live veterans of the war
present and the house was packed to
its utmost capacity.‘
Trlcky “Bunco” Horse.
The horse which the green goods man
left in Westport is as tricky as its mas-
ter was, Coroner Doton and Detective
Cronan of Bridgdport, went to West-
port Saturday and started for Bridge-
port behind the animal. When they
reached Fairfield a trolley car came
along. It was something new for the
animal. It made a plunge into the
ditch beside the road, and the coroner
went out of the carriage closely follow-
ed by the detective. The horse kicked
the top off the wagon and otherwise
damaged it before getting free from

Home Again. .
Captain Charles C. Reilley who left
this city last November with asmall
moustache and the yacht “Marguerite”
arrived safely in Port Sutherland on
Wall street, this morning. He has
promised to furnish the GAZETTE with
the log of his voyage, the extreme
southern point of which was Beaufort,
N. C. He was first sighted on his re-
turn trip in northern waters by Captain
Moses Wilson, off Blackwell’s Island,
yesterday afternoon, who was on his
way to Norwalk on the new steamer
Favorite, which it is proposed. to place
on the route between New York and
N orwalk, and the news spread like wild
fire through this city. In order that
he might escape being. interviewed,
Commodore Sutherland rushed him to
his home on Belden avenue where he
under lock and key was permitted to
eat a good square meal without fear Of
being interviewed by a newspaper
man.
As at the beginning of this item it is
stated Captain Riley left with a mous-
tache, but he returns with a facial hir-
sute growth that a}. marvel, and there
is no doubt but that those whiskers
were the sesame of his and his yacht’s
safe passage through hell-gate.
The “Marguerite” the better for her
' trip is anchored ofl‘ Dorlon Point. The
yacht is credited with having made the
run from Cape Charles to New York,
a distance of about 300 miles in 49 hours.
Captain Riley had Capt. Erastus Brad-
ley as a companion on the run and gives
him credit as being a great mascot.

the purpose of buying cattle on the
hoof, mutual consumption, etc. The
concern threw for a while, until the
general manager, Mr. Davenport. trot
a reservoir fishing permit and had such
good luck that he became a confirmed
ichtliyophagist,.and the withdrawal of
his support has bursted the trust so that
it is as dead as a salted reservoir carp

Black'Dlphtherla In New Canaan.
New Canaan is considerably alarmed
over the death on Saturday of Miss
Lizzie Hall, daughter of Charles W.
Hall, and a teacher in the Center school
of that town. She had been ill only
four days, and it was supposed that she
was only suffering from tonsilitis. Miss
Hall was the treasurer of the .Epworth
League and a prominent member of
the New Canaan Methodist church.
The funeral was held privately from
her late residence at 2 o’clock this af-
ter-noon.

largest private yacht in the world and
has been chartered by the Anchor line.
Mrs. Frank Leslie and other notables
sailed in her Saturday, and so delighted
was Grover, that'it was only the pres-

sailing withher. He says if he “can
fix things” he is bound to go with Hill
in J 11:10.
