Colonel Wilson, the engineer officrr in charge of the public buildingsland grounds at Washington, is again urg- ing the importance of providing suita- ble oiiiccs for the President, outside of his residence. The President of the United States, who is one of the busiest men in the world, is probably the only one who still maintains the old custom of transacting all his business at home. This is a relic of barbarism unworthy of the nation. Both for the health and comfort 0f the President and his fami- ly, for the dignity of his ofiice and for the convenience of all who have busi- ness with him, proper accommodations ought to be provided for him in his working hours. Colonel Wilson’s plan is to erect a suitable building on the White House grounds opposite the Treasury Department, to be connected with the Mansion by corridors and a a large conservatory communicat— ing with the East Room. This would provide Space more nearly adequate to the crowd that fills the White House at receptions and other public occasions, and at the same time allow the Presi- dent and his family the privacy to which they are entitled, and which every other citizen Is allowed in his own home. 7 The President would propably refrain from urging‘cthis obvious improvement on his own account, but it would not be amiss for him to recommend it for the sake of his successors, and Congress should certainly give early and favor- able attention to Colonel Wilson’s plan. ~& Uhcle Sam‘s Rival.

KEELER. “ The former well-known Norwalk bus- iness man, George 0. Kosher. died at the home of Thomas Benedict, in East Norwalk, at 2 o’clock, yesterday after- noon, in the 50th year of his age. Mr. Keelcr was born in East Nor- walk near what is now known as the Charles Smith place. When but 1’. boy he moved to Ridgefield with his parents where resided until their death When a lad he was apprenticed to. learn the trade of a tinsmith at the store of Styles and Lewis Curtis in Norwalk. This was about 1819. Before he finished his apprenticeship he aocep ‘ed a clerkship in the grocery store then conducted by his uncle, the late S. E. Olmstead. He afterwards became a. partner in the concern under the firm name of S. E. Olmstead 6': 00., and the shoe business was added. This branch of the business was after a time sold to and conducted by Nash & Ives. In the meantime E. O. Keeler, a broth- er, and at present Norwalk’s represen- tative in the legislature and the city’s first mayor, had been engaged in the employ of the firm in the capacity of a clerk. -' After a time Mr. Olmslead disposed of his interest in the concern to Mr. Kesler. Soon after the wholesale grocery firm of Hulmes, Kecler Si Co. was formed, with G. .M. Holmes, George C. Keeler and Edwin C. Keel- er as partners. This firm continued'but a short time, George C. Keelor retiring and starting a. retail grocery on Main street, but the venture was not a success, and about sixteen years ago Mr. Keelor removed to Leadville, 0010., where he engaged in the mining business, and which place he left about seven year ago, since which time he has been located in Denver. The deceased had been afflicted with Brights disease for some time and came to Norwalk a few weeks since hoping to be bencfitted in health. Two brothers, Hon. E. O. Keefer ‘of this city, and Joseph Keeler of Chica- go. survive him. His father’s name was Jonah C. Keel- er, and his mother wasa sister of the late S. E. Olmstead. His wife survives him.

At the time of the publication of the Encyclomdia Britannica, now some ten years ago, I placed the volumes in my library. Subsequently my atten- tion was called to Johnson’s Cyclopedia and upon carefully looking it over. I purchased the set and placed it side by side with the Britannica. - , My resulting experience leads me to this view—while the articles in tin. En- cyclopedia Britannica are of great length and exhaustively treat their topics, their abstruseness and techni- cality are such as to render them less available for ordinary and every day use, than the shorter, terse and less in- volved references-in Johnson’s. In fact the Encyclopedia Britannica seems to me rather adapted to the wants of the professor, the scholar and the scientist, while the Johnson’s appears more especially designated for the home. In my ownfamily it has often hap- pened that the children, when seeking information in the line of school stud~ ies, have failed to findjust what they wanted in the Britannic-I, but have ob- tained it in Johnson’s. In this progressive age the lapse of ten years leaves much behind, and I note in looking over the last edition of J ohnson’s Cyclopedia that it has kept well abreast with the progressive knowledge of the nineteenth century. I cheerfully recommend Johnson’s as the family Encyclopedia. , J. G. GREGORY”. O.————- .

HEAD Organism. Two Freight Trains Crash Into Each Other at the New Canaan Road Crossing. Both Locomotlves' and a Number of Cars Wrecked. One of the worst collisions that ever took place on the Danbury and Nor- walk branch of the Consolidated road was that which occurred shortly after 11 o‘clock this morning near what is known as Nash's creasing on the road to New Canaan. ' vao freight locomotives were as closely wedged together as it would be possible to get them, there being scarcely a foot between their smoke- stacks, end the tenders of both are piled up in a confused mass together with several freight cars, their contents, trucks, etc., or else tumbled down the embankments on either side of the tracks. ' The collision was between the regular down freight locomotive 507 and an extra train drawn by locomotive 462. People living, as well as those who work in the neighborhood, had their attention attracted by unusually sharp danger signals from the whistle 0f the locomotive on the down train, and looking in that direction saw men fly- ing through the air from both trains, and then heard a terrific crash followed by the noise of escaping steam. Thoy hastened to the scene and found such a wreck as perhaps they never before imagined could be possible. At the point where the collision oc- curred, there are steep embankments on both sides of the track. Most of the cars which left the track and tumbled down‘the incline, belonged on the down train. On the edge of the east embank- mentisacar load of lumber and tile pipe. - Further on are three cars, two wholly and one part way down the eni- bankment. On the opposite side of the tracks and entirely down the em- bankment was thc'tender of one of the locomotives and two or three cars. Back of what remains of each of the locomotives is an apparently inextrica- ble mass of car trucks, wheels, etc. The top of one freight car acts as a roof to cover locomotive 507, and the cab of 462 is perched up on top of the boiler. Oddly enough, while the --pilot-s of both locomotives were smashed into bits, and the; two engines must have come to-gcther with terrific force, the forward wheels of neither leit the tracks. The most remarkable part of the ac- cident is that not a single one of the men on either train was seriously in- jured. The engineers and firemen as Well as the brakcmen saw that a collis- sion could not then be averted and jumped for their lives, and fortunately landed in such manner as to escape in- jury. It is understood that the down train had the right of way, and that the col- lision was caused by the engineer of the up train trying to make the turnout at the Fair, grounds, a. short distance above where the accident occurred. The w‘recker was immediately tele- graphed for and arrived on the scene. Traffic over the road will probably be stopped for the rest of the day. The down train was in charge of Con- ductor Mahoney pad the extra under that of Conductor Comstock. Both claim that they were running accord- ing to orders. This is denied by train dispatcher Brown of Danbury. Operator Hughes, at. the station in this city, reported the up train as hav- ing left here and soon after learned that the down train had left Wmnipauk. He is reported as having said “My God! there will be a collision.” The telegraph wires are in a tangled state under the wreck. no- An Alarm of Fire. The, alarm of fire sent in from Box 15 at 11:45 o’clock this morning was for the burning of some hay and 'straw in the old Simond’s foundry on Mechanic street. Paul English told a GAZETTE representative that he saw a. little girl living on River street light it. The flames were extinguished with a. pail of water. .9 . Roger Returns. Roger McGinnis, the Mayor 0f Cob- ble Hill, who has been in Bridgeport for some weeks past and who arrived home Saturday night, denies that he has been stopping in the jail at that city. It was understood at the time by the officer who accompanied McGinnis to Bridgeport, that he was under a jail sentence and he took him to that insti- tution. Roger is considerably more docile than when he went away. -.- Runaway- ~ ~ The hames of a harness on a horse belonging to E. J.

LONDON, July 15.-—A. L. Pucnte, mun- ager of the Cornell Glee club, in an inter. view With your representative. makes the following statements concerning the man- agement of the Cornell crew upon the oc- casion of the recent Henley races: “Previous to the race I had received many letters requesting dates for the con- certs fer the Cornell Glee club, and many bookings had been made in diflerent parts of Great Britain. Since the race I have re- ceived letters and telegrams canceling these engagements. Nothing could have been more unfortunate for us than the re- sults of the race that the umpire gave to Cornell. I think the Cornell crew should or chance. In any event our chances were killed in England on account of the fiasco. It must have cost Cornell $5,000 to send the crow here, for it cost us at least $8,000 to bring over the Glee club. “The members of the Glee club lost heart at the result of that race and the comments of the English press and the English people upon the matter, and it was resolved at a. meeting to abandon the tour. The members of the club have now dispersed over the continent, the majority “I can only say that the crew was gross- ly mismanaged from the time that Eng- land was reached. I find that most Cor- nell men agree with me in this belief. I have only this to say in conclusion, that if Cornell attempts to win the races at Hen- ley the college will have to have a mana- ger for the crew with broad and liberal ideas. ” ' rs}: ' mam CAMPAIGN. Blackburn Still Denouncing Carllsle and Advocating Free Coinage of Silver. LOUISVILLE, July 15.—-The result of the Democratic conference held here is gener- ally understood tube that there are no re- strictions upon campaign speakers other than such support of the platform as their consciences and judgment dictate. Blackburn declares that it is a. victory for free speech and yesterday, at Winches- ter, made a. speech denouncing Carlisle’s views and the gold standard papers and advocating free coinage at 16 to 1, free trade and the abolition of national banks. Those Who have heretofore favored the , gold standard claim that the platform means a. full indorsement of the policy of Cleveland and Carlisle, and they Will so construe it on the stump. The situation is now just as it was before the convention, except that the indorsement of Cleyeland and Carlisle is claimed by the gold stand- ard men to be an indorsement of their in~ terpretation of the Chicago platform. Both factions agree to reaffirm the Chi- cago platform, but Blackburn opposes the lndorsement of the administration. CRUSHED THEIR SKULLS. A Murderous Burglar Attacks Mr. and'Misl Davis at Atlantic City. ATLANTIC CITY, July 15.-—-A burglar Was discovered while at work early yester- day morning in the residence of Isaac Davis, a Philadelphia. cottager, at 112 South North Carolina avenue by Miss Louisa G. Davis, a sister who was visiting. at the house. When Miss Davis attempt- ed to give an alarm, she was murderously assaulted with an iron bar. Her skull was crushed in a terrible manner. Miss Davis was awakened by a noise in her room, and, seeing the burglar, scream- ed. He then struck her three awful blows and turned to flee from the room. At the door he was met by Mr. Davis, and rais- ing his iron bludgeon he dealthlm a crush- ing blow on the head. In spite of this, Mr. Davis grappled with the murderous intrud- er, and after a fierce struggle succeeded in throwing him bodily down stairs. . He was too weak to follow up his advantage, however, and the burglar escaped. Mr. Davis will recover probably, but the young lady Will die. Murderer and Bank Robber.

COOK ATTAGKED CLEVELAND Minister \Villls Called Him Down, and the Gentleman From Boston Left the Hall Mad Clear Through—President Dole Pardons a Number of Rebels. VICTORIA, July 15.—The steamship Mi- OWera arrived from Australia and Hawaii yesterday. The literary exercises at Hon~ Olulu on July 4 were the scene of remark- able lncidents. Joseph Cook of Boston Was invited to speak, and entered upon a. personal criticism of President Cleveland, charging him with misrepresenting Ha- waii and Hawaiian affairs. He was inter- rupted by Minister Willis, who presided, and after a. sharp crossfire of charge and retort left the hall amid silence. His ac- tion is looked upon as indiscreet. ‘ IndependencePark pavilion was more than crowded for the literary exercises scheduled for 11 o’clock, with Mr. Willis, the American minister, presiding. He was presented by George W. Smith, chairman of the general committee. This was at 11 :30. There was a. wait for President Dole. When he entered with Mrs. Dole, the audience rose and cheered. The steamship Miowora was held to al- low Joseph Cook to address the meeting. In opening the meeting Mr. Willis grace- fully gave utterance to patriotic. senti- ments and was applauded. All joined in singing, the American choir loading. In complimentary terms Mr. Willis presented Mr. Cook, who had for his subject “The Republics of the Tropics.” Mr. Cook said nothing of the Fourth of July. He congratulated all that there was no color line or slavery here. The speaker went into an oration on southern republics as upheld by what he called northern prin- ciples. Coming quickly to Hawaii, Mr. Cook entered upon almost a. direct criti- cism of the Cleveland administration, ar- raigning it for misrepresentation and say- ing that he would make some corrections. Minister ‘y’Villis Protestcd. Here Mr. Willis protested on the ground that the occasion was not one for partisan speeches. He was greeted with shouts of applause. Mr. Cook, considerably confused, asked for a bill of particulars, declaring he was not accustomed to either a straightjacket or gag. Mr. Willis replied that the contracted sentiment from a Boston environment was not broad enough for an American cele- bration in Hawaii. Mr. Cook said Boston had a. good deal to do with achieving American independence. Mr. Willis said this was granted, and that all were proud ofilt. The lecturer quickly concluded his re- marks on annexation. He bade goodby to Minister Willis and Dr. MacArthur and left the hall amidst silence, clearly mad through and through. The exchange of words created tremen- dous excitement among those present, and when the Miowera sailed it was the one topic of conversation. , Tim lovcu lasted ovur half an hour. Dr. D. P. Birnic, Professor Scott, Dr. Mc- Gravv and several other prominent men said that they were on the point of inter- rupting Mr. Cook when Mr. Willis protest- ed The Star says editorially, among other things, that the American minister found the opportunity of a. lifetime at the Fourth of July meeting. - The manner in which he conducted him- self won golden opinions. Mr. Willis was commended on all sides for the patriotism, courage and calmness .v‘ith which he pre- sided. Some at first thought there was rather too much feeling shown by the au- dience against Mr. Cook, but he had in- vited the rebuke, both from the American minister and from those assembled. Mr. Cook was regarded as very egotistical. He raised himself to his highest pinnacle and ' did not speak of the Fourth of July at all, but launched into an argument on the Hawaiian question and an arraignment of Mr. Cleveland’s administration. Rebels Par-cloned. The oration of the day was delivered by President Dole. It was an able speech, full of genuine Americanism. Ono senti- ment was: “ This is the great day set apart for nobler purposes than twisting the Brit- ish lion’s tall or making the eagle scream. Itisaday of thanksgiving. It is memorial day. Its chief end is to keep warm in our hearts and to teach our children and our children’s children love for free institu- tions and of good government, for which our fathers died.” Q Fifty of the rebel prisoners, all natives, were pardoned on the Fourth by President Dole. NOne of thrfr‘inglcadcrs was given his_freedom. ' Their sentences were com- mutcd as fdllows: T. B. Walker, 30 years to 15 years; W. H. C. Creig, 20 to 15 years; Carl Weid- man, 30 to 15 years; Louis Marshall, 20 to 15 years; W. H. Setvard, 30 to 20 years; R. Wilcox, 30 to 20 yours; W. B. Rickard, 30 to 20 years, and C. L. Gulick, 30 to 20 years. - The fine of $10,000 in each of the above cases was not commuted. Knows How It Feels Now. BALTIMORE, July 15. ——Joscph McClusky, alias Andrew L.
