Gambling Machines.
A reader of the GAZETTE complains
that there are several gambling nia-
chines in full operation in this city and
asks why the'police allow them to be
conducted contrary to the law.
Any one “setting up” gambling ma-
chines is liable to a fine of $3100 or im-
prisonment for One year, and parties
having such machines in their places
of business are equally amenable to the
law.

Will Stand Pruning.
The Bridgeport Farmer has the fol-
lowing appropriate suggestion in refer-
ence to the conduct of Attorney Stewart
of that city, who-employed two young
boys to entrap liquor dealers into a.
violation of the law:
When the COunty Commissioners
have dismissed Mr. Stewart, which
should have been done on Saturday, it
seems to us that the Fairfield County
Bar association should attend to his
case. If his offence is not a violation
- of the rules that should govern the
conduct of members Of an honorable
profession the public ought to know it.
There is no possible justification for
his conduct in cntrapping men into a
violation of the law.
We would add to the Earmer’s sug—
gestion thlit when the Bar association
takes up the case of Mr. Stewart it also
7 take up the cases of other members
who have violated the rules that should
govern the conduct Of members of an
honorable profession, to a greater ex-
.tent than Mr. Stewart ever dreamed of.
TheFairfield County Bar will stand
considerable pruning.

J_0HNSON’S CYCLOPED‘sA.
What Dr. J. 0. Gregory Has Learned
byYears of Experience.
At the time of the publication of the
Encyclopedia 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 the Eu-
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 own family 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 Britannici, 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
Johnson’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. .

The Railroad Wreck.
The tracks near the New Canaan
crossing where the head-on collision oc-
occurred yesterday morning, were clear-
ed in the afternoon in time to let the
Pittsfield express through, at 4:30. It
required lively work. ~ A large propor-
tion of the wrecked cars, etc., were tum-
bled Ofl' the tracks and down the em-
bankment-s on either side of the tracks.
Some of the cars which still remained on
their trucks Were hauled to the fair
ground siding, and the two locomotives
whichit was at the time found impossi-
ble to unlock were hauled to the siding
near the Nor-walk Mills.
The responsibility for the acci-
dent, so iar as can be learned, lies with
Engineer Comstock and Conductor
Fitzgibbon, who it is said we to instruct-
ed by the train dispatcher at Danbury
to wait at Norwalk for the down or
Conductor Mahoney’s train. Conduc-
tor; Fitzzibbon and his engineer, it is
‘ asserted mistook the order to read at
Norwalk Mills which is s some-distance
above where the accident occurred. A
published insinuation ' that David
Hughes the ticket agent at this city was
in anywise to blame is denied by those
who are in a position to know. The
matter is being thoroughly investigated
and the blame will no doubt be placed
where it belongs. Conductor Fitzgib-
bon and Engineer Comstock have been
suspended pending the investigation.
WRECKAGE.
The telephone and telegraph wires
are again in working order.
Edgar Demmon succeeded in getting
excellent negatives of the wreck.
Some of the Street Railway cars car-
ried a placa‘rd which read, “This car to
the railroad wreck.”
The Street Railway company did an
excellent business in conveying pas~
sengers to and from the scene.
It is estimated that fully 3,000 per-
sons visited the scene of the wreck yes-
terday afternoon and last night.
Several persons had their legs
scratched and trousers torn by the barb
wire fence on either side of the tracks.
Mr. George W, Bradley supplied
Engineer Horan and his fireman with
hats, they having lost theirs in the
wreck.
It is stated that Engineer Cornstock’s
locomotive No. 462. when pulled away
from the tender showed that the lever
had not been reversed.
The regular freight came down at
about noon to day in charge Of engin-
eer Horan and Conductor “Jack” Ma-
honey. The train was drawn by loco-
motive 477.
Ticket agent Hughes was at the scene
a goodly portion of the afternoon, and
had charge of the telegraph instru-
ment which it was found necessary to
connect with the wires at that point.
Both locomotives were on fire when
they were hauled from the scene of the
wreck and the flames were extinguished
by water from a hose at the Norwalk
Mills, after reaching the siding near
that point.
At 10:45 this morning the wrecking
train arrived from Danbury and work
was immediately begun clearing up
the wreck. The train was in charge of
Engineer "Dan” Mahoney and Con-
ductor Charles Vaughn, while the work
of clearing up the wreck was under the
supervision of Roadmaster Kilcourse.
Conductor "Jack” Mahoney of the
south bound freight, it is said, stood on
the top of the third last box car, when
and did ‘~not
move until it was all over and then
climed down the side of the car. He
was afterward heard to remark, “I
wanted to see my men all make their
escape.” ‘ '

MAYOR HUBBELL’S TESTIMONIAL.
'And His Second Letter Given After,
He Had Made a Thorough Exami-
nation of the Sentinel Edition
of Britannica, in Which He
Shows Up the Falslty of
the Johnson Clrcular..
NORWALK, Conn., June 14, 1895.
Editor of the Sentinel—Sin: The .en-,
terprise of The Sentinel in placing.
within easy reach of all, such an edu-
cational work as the Encyclopedia Bri-
tannica is to be commended. ' The
value of the “Britannica” as a work .of
reference stands undisputed, but With
the valuable additions made by the
American editor, it is now clearly the
best work of its kind extant. 7 Parents
who wish their children to grow up
well informed can do no better than to
purchase this work and have it kept In
an accessible place.
JAMES T. HUBBELL,
Mayor, Norwalk, Ct.
After this letter was written for the
Sentinel the value of this edition of
Britannica was questioned by published
opinions. The Sentinel then supplied
Mayor Hubbell with a complete set of
our books. He has spent some time in
making a thorough examination of the
set, and we now submit the followmg
letter from him, which is afrank ex-
pression of his opinion at the present
time. This should satisfy the most
doubtful person, and if anything of a
damaging nature should be said in the
future of the Sentinel edition of Britan-
nica it should be looked upon with sus-
plClOD :
Editor of The Sentinel—SIR: Some-
time ago I signed a letter in which I
expressed a favorable opinion of your
edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Since then the battle of the encyclo-
pedias is on and the value and correct-
ness of your edition has been called
into question by published opinions
and by a brave but unsigned pamphlet.
Believing my statement l'r.) have been
substantially correct, but wishing to be
more certain, I have taken the pains to
compare your edition with the author-
ized version, and after careful exami-
nation I find that your edition, except
where you carefully point out the
changes, is a. reproduction of the orig—
inal ninth edition of the Britannica.
Wisdom and literary ability still ex-
ist outside of the men who penned the
American articles in the original, and
‘history has been amaking since that
time,so that the American topics in your
edition are handled about as well and
brought down to a much later date than
in the original work. _
Now as to the blemishes alleged to
exit; but before entering into a discus-
sion of them I .wish to state at this
point that, after carefully investigating
all the alleged errors, I have found but
one instance where such errors actually
did exist. We are told that the reten-
tion of the original index has rendered
the work valueless. The person who
made this seemingly important dis-
covery did not avail himself ofthe in-
dex to the American topics. If he had
he would not have such a statement.
The biography of Abraham Lincoln
states correctly that he was the “six-
teenth president” of the United States,
instead of the “seventeenth,” as charg-
- ed. The Massachusetts article nowhere
states that “until a constitution was
adopted in 1870, etc., etc.” On the
contrary, the year 1780 is mentioned as
the date of the constitution. _
John A. Andrew was the “war gover-
nor” of Massachusetts. and the war last-
ed from 1861-1865, but he was governor
during 1861-1806, both in war and peace;
his name nowhere is spelled Andrews,
as stated in this circular and upon which
comment is made.
The Massachusetts article does state
“that the Whig party became merged
into the Democratic party,” which is
be charged toa typographical error.
On the map of Massachusetts there
are two mountain ranges indicated as
Housatonic and the map-maker may
have been right.
The statement in this circular that
the index to the article Germany, Vol.
X , refers to Adelaid on page 483 is not
true; the index places Adeleheid on
page 485 and states that Adeleheid, or
Adelaide, was the widow of Lothair
and not as charged, “daughter of L0-
their.”
It is also stated W. C. P. Breckin-
ridge “died in 1855.” Ifiud that no
such statement is made. .
In the sketch of Lyman Abbott the
year 1881 is not mentioned, while it is
correctly stated that he is at present
pastor of Plymouth church.
Complaint is made of the brevity of
the mention made of the “Duke of
Abecorn,” “Edmund About,” “Franz
Abt,” “T. B. Aldrich,” and “Admiral
Amen.” This may seem an unpardon-
able blemish to a few, but in my opiu-
ion these persons receive substantial
recognition. As to some others whose
names do not appear it may be a ques
tion whether their fame is sufficiently
great to warrant mention in a book 'of
reference.
The charge that “Binghamton, N.
Y., is said to be located on the Che-
nango canal” is untrue. The Chenan-
go canal is not mentioned.
It is stated that in the supplementary
part, the statement is made-that “Al-
bany became the permanent capital in
1807” and its correctness remains’to be
disproved.
When, however. one considers the
size of the work and the mass of matter
it contains, the few errrors which exist
should not discredit the work in the
Eyes of anyone who is disposed to be
air. -
Errors may be found in all encyclo-
pedias. The charge that certain articles
are omitted is true, but the pamphleteer
fails to state that this omission has been
more than supplied by other articles on
the same topics, bringing them down
to a. much later date. The modest
author of the pamphlet does not even
mention the index to the supplemen-
tary matter, which is full and as ac-
curate as the index to any work of this
nature.
The charge that certain articles were
taken bodily from “Chambers,” may
be true, but these articles may also be
accurate. ‘If all encyclopedia. makers
wereto refrain from this practice much
that is valuable and interesting would
be lost to the world.
_ After all this we may ask the ques-
tion, Has the Sentinel edition of the
Britannica any valuable features? To
this question “yes” may be answered
Without any hesitation. In‘ the first
place, the purchaser has practically
complete, the Encyclopedia Britannica,
a monumental work in itself, and at a
cost of about one-third the usual price.
To this work has been added Ameri-
can topics of great value and interest,
clearly a mistake, and one which must.
"p A I L Y ,- NOR-W A LK G A’z ET T 131‘
the ,maps Of the older edition having
been discarded and those of very re-
cent date taking their place, .Wlllle
special maps not found in the original
have been inserted.
It seems to me that the work possess-
es so many concealed excellencies that
. an‘examination will satisfy anyone that
he makes no mistake in securing the
Sentinel edition of the Encyclopedia
Britannica because he gets substantial-
ly the original Ninth edition with val-
uable aditions brought up to date,
fresher maps, and all ,in a form more
convenient to handle.

that James Vredenburgh, who is associate
ed with him in the case, is now engag
in a. railroad case in Jersey City Whic

three weeks, and that he and his colleague
had not yet had an opportunity to confer
on the case.
