Justice at Last.

Republics are ungrateful, so are

cities.

For over twenty-five years George
Arnold has been a valuable member of
the Bridgeport police department, the
greater part of the time doing' detec-
tive duty. During all these years his
salary has been the same as an ordinary
patrolman. New men have Come into
the department and been promoted,
their salaries being advanced for in
excess of his meagre compensation.
But with all this neglect on the part of
the Bridgeport officials Detective Ar-
nold has been the same polite, obliging
and conscientious officer and above all
an honest man.

Now that the office of detective-ser-
geant is to be created in the police do-
partment of that city, and George is
about to receive-a long earned promo-
tion, the GAZETTE desires to extend its
congratulations to one of the best and
most worthy men that ever graced the
uniform of the police of any city.

Prohibition in New England.

“The Harbor Bar is meaning,
will be if the prohibition brethern carry
out their deep designs. That delight-
1111 summer resort, Bar Harbor, is in
the state of Maine, and is, also, in the
midst of a great and solemn contro-
versy. ' Duty is 5011 one side, dollars on
the other. Which will The
trouble has arisen over the'question of
enforcing the prohibitory law. One of
the chief sources of income in Maine is
the influx of summer visitors, and Bar
Harbor attracts many persons of wealth
who are neither prohibitionists nor to-
tal abstainers. In all previous summers
they have found no difficulty in obtain-
ing such beverages as they have desir~
ed, from a glass of beer or whiskey
straight to the most complicated of
fancy drinks.

The present season began, in the
usual way, with an adequate supply of
wines and liquors in stock, and perfect
liberty in the buying and selling there-
of. All was peaceful and serene. But
a few days ago the sereneity was rudely
disrupted and dire discord usurped the
place of harmony. It happened to oc-
cur to some of the old residents of Bar
Harbor that all this was wrong because
twas in flagrant violation of an old
and revered law of the Commonwealth
of Maine. An effort was made to en-
force the law, but it was not sternly
and resolutely pushed, because the
summer visitors vehemently protested.
“If the liquor goes, we go,” they said;
“not that we cannot get along comfor-
tably without liquor. but because we
will not tolerate fanaticism,” Then
some good citizens who had voted for
prohibition, and who profess a firm be-
lief in that doctrine, rose up and called
on the officials to halt. Their sense of
duty and their financial interests pulled
in opposite directions.
Republican says that they
once in the protest against enforcing

the law, got up a protest of their own,
and made more fuss about the zeal of

the officers of the law than the New
York saloon-keepers and thirsty Ger.
mans have over President Roosevelt.”
And there the matter hangs, duty on
one side, dollars on the other, and a
fearful conflict raging in the breasts of
thirsty citizens.

While this solemn spectacle is attract-
ing tle attention of philosophical
minds to the rock-bound coast of Maine
the prohibition State of Vermont is
presenting an ‘ equally interesting
drama. 13. G. Howe, the leading citi-
zen and hotel-Owner of St. Johnsbury,
was recently convicted of violating the
prohibitory law on the complaint of a
man who had quarreled with him, and
was sentenced lo sixty days in the
house of correction. Almost everybody
in town was surprised and disgusted.
and joined in a petition to the governor
to pardon Mr. Howe. Prominent pro-
hibitionists cheerfully signed the pe-
tition. It spoke of Howe as “a. good

The Springfield»

 

gentleman,” “a public. benefactor
equaled by no man outside the Fair,-
banks company,” and “more than or-
dinarilyjdiscreet in his methods. of sel-
ling liqu’br.” But the governor has de-
clined to grant the petition. The Rut-
lsnd Herald, 11 Republican organ,
states that the governor is liable ‘to the
same fate that has. “overtaken Mr.
Howe, because he is the owner of a.
hotel where liquor is constantiy sold in
violation of the law.

Beware of the Seaserpent.

Governor Coffin has issued orders for
the First Division Naval Militia, of
New Haven, to cruise along shore for
six days beginning Aug 19.

Glastonbury Won’t Pay.

At a spirited meeting of the citizens
of Glastonbury, yesterday, it was voted

Served Him Right.

Thomas Fields of Bridgeport went to
Hartford yesterday, and attempted sui-
cide by throwing himself in front of a
trolley car. He was not successful.
It served him right for going out of
town when he had the same if not bet-
ter facilities in his own city.

The Daily Hour.

The initial number of the Daily
Hour appeared On our streets yester-
day afternoon. It is a very neat look-
ing sheet and contains lots of reading
matter. It enters a field already more
than filled, and therefore does not fill
a long felt Want. It looks very much
like its father, the l‘Iorwalk Hour, and
may become a fixture in the town.

Suspicious Death at Winsted.

Thomas Cahill, of Canaan, was found
dead in Max Bizar’s lodging room,
near the Winsted depot, at 10:30 yes-
terday morning. Paris green was
sprinkled on the man’s face, on the bed,
and around the floor. Cahill was a.
man about 55 years of ago. His wife
died about a year ago and he has been
going down hill ever since. - Foul play
is feared.

 

 

 

Opening Night.

Painters and paper-hangers are busi-
ly engaged in the interior of the Nor-
walk Opera House, and it will on open-
ing night look as bright as a freshly
nickled street railway car brake—
handle. The first play to be presented
this season will be One in which there
is a genuine “Reuben,” who, it is
claimed, is as mirth provoking as a lit-
ter of young pigs. He appears on the
19th of this month.

 

 

Judge Loomis Dead.

Ex-Judge Thomas W. Loomis, of
Windsor, died at Littleton, N. H., Sat-
urday, where he had gone for his health.
Judge Loomis was born in Windsor, 68
years ago, and was a grandson ofEben-
ezsr Fitch Bissell, an officer of the Rev-
olutionary Army. . Judge Loomis was
a prominent Democrat and represented
the town in the House. He had also
been state senator, first selectman and
judge of probate.

A Benefit to All.

The Bridgeport Traction company
has purchased a 5,000 gallons capacity
street sprinkler at a cost of $3,000 which
leads the New Haven Leader to remark:
“Undoubtedly the experience of the
Bridgepdrt Traction company, will be
similar to that of the Norwalk Street
Railway company, which found that its
receipts increased more than one-third
after it began to run a sprinkler over its
lines once or twice daily. The Traction
company of Bridgeport will not only
benefit merchants and patrons but it
will benefit itself.”

Wants Damages.

Yesterday afternoon, William H.
Earle, in company with his wife and
niece drove from his East avenue resi-
dence to the telegraph office. His car-
riage was attached to two spirited
horses. Leaving the telegraph office
he drove up Belden avenue and was
about to turn into Franklin avenue,
when a man who proved to be Charles
Comstock of Wilton, drove in ahead of
him, scraping with his carriage, it is
said, the Earle turnout.

This angered Earle and he asked the
driver of the other team what he was
trying to do and received an insulting
answer in reply. ‘

Mr. Earle then impulsively grabbed
up the whip and dealing Comstock a.
smarting blow with it drove on and to
Adams’ market on Wall street.

As the team was standing there, Com-
stock drove, up and jumping out of his
wagon approached Mr. Earle and using
some very harsh language, demanded
a money consideration for the alleged
injury done him. Mr. Earle refused,
and Comstock [became more vitupera-
tive, until he was prevailed upon to
stop, and take a more lawful manner in
getting what he termed satisfaction.
He has promised to bring a suit
against Mr. Earle for damages.

ROBBED HIS.RO0MMIilE[

Oscar Remlets Said to Have Scoop-
ed $20 and scooted.

Th-e Victim In Hot Pursuit.

About a month ago J. H. Louder,
president of the Frugal Coal company,
introduced acobbling shop to his some-
what “assorted” business, and secured
the services of a German cobbler nam-
ed OScar Remlet-s to do the work.
Louder also has in his employ a man
named Charles Collins, ' who delivers,
makes sales of coal and collects for the
same. He has been employed by Lou-
der since last fall and. enjoys the confi-
dence of his employer.

Collins and Remlets room together at
Lender’s where they also have been in
the habit of getting. their meals.
Louder has been all along somewhat
suspicious of Bemlets, but yesterday
afternoon gave him 82 and sent him to
South Norwalk to purchase some
leather. He returned all right with the
article sent for.

During the day, Collins, while on his
route had colled 11101113120, which, for
some reason, he failed to give to his
employer, and left it, as he claims, in
his pocket, thinking to do so this morn-
ing.

On getting up he found that his
roommate, Remlets, was missing, and
feeling in his own pockets found that
the money he had collected the day be-
fore was also missing.

He informed Mr. Louder of the rob-
bery and they both proceeded to make
an investigation but the only articles
they found missing were two boxes of
cigars which had been taken from the
show-case in the barber shop.

The police were nrtlfied but too late
to get any track of Remlets the sup-
bosed robber, other than that he was
seen to come out of the building occu-
pied by Louder, about 3 o’clock in the
morning, with a. pitcher in his hand,
and go down Hoyt street, ostensibly
after water, but us it now believed to
better hide his escape.

The pitcher was found on the side-
walk, on Hoyt street. by Officer Ken-
ney.

Collins, the man who claims to have
been robbed seemed to think thatERem-
lets had gone to Danbury and he start-
ed for that place hoping to find him.

A Slight Mistake.

As evidence that an adv. laced in the
GAzETTE is sure to be rea. witness the
fact that the Boston Store, in advertis-
ing the bargains to be found in their
kitchen department among others men-
tioned two burner oil stoves at 690 each.
Through some hocus pocus mannipula-
tion of the type 69c, was made to food
250. Mark the result: The adv. first
appeared Saturday afternoon, and up
to twelve o’clock to-day, there had
been thirty-five calls for the stoves.
Surely it pays to advertise in the GA-
ZETTE, and a slight mistake proves the
fact.
