Turn on the Light.
Editor Maples has gotten up a call for
a special town meeting to have investi-
gated the matter of the Osborn avenue
bridge and tunnel construction. Sel-
ectman Daskam States that the Consol-
idated Railroad has done its work in en-
tire accordance with its contract with
the town and that the Selectmen enter-
entered into a contract with. said
railroad to my half the cost of the
work as they were authorized to do by
a legally convened town meeting, so it,
is difficult to see what is‘ to be gained
by Mr. Maple’s town meeting. Still, if
he knows of any “crookedness,” as
would seem t) be inferred from his
“call,” why turn on the light.

from the many monuments that have

Dr. Bacon on Alaska.
Dr. Francis Bacon of New Haven,
has ust returned from apt-rip to Alaska.
He says that it is the view of the best
informed men of Alaska that the seals
will be exterminated ,in twelve years.
“Arbitration came to late to
save the seals, but the immense fish-
eries-of salmon, cod and Halibut could
not have reached their desired develop-
ment had the seals, the natural enemies
of the fish, been allowed‘to thrive.”
Dr. Bacon says that the people of
Alaska are very much excited over the
preposed change of boundary. They
assert that the Canadians have no au-
thority for, wanting the new lines
which would threw open the gold
fields of Alaska'to the British through
the proposed railroad they wish to con-

lnebrlety and Crime.
About the worst suggestion that has
emanated from any respectable quarter
since the “area of reform’f set in came
from one of the medical members of the
medico-legal congress in New York last
week, This learned doctor stood 11p in
presence of many of the most eminent
members of two great professions, law
and medicine, and made an earnest plea
for greater lenity toward drunken than
toward sober violators of law. In his
opinion acrime of any description, from
petty larceny to murder, should be less
severely punished when committed by
an intoxicated person than when com-
mitted by a Sober person. Weare glad
that this plea came from the medical
side of the congress, and that it was not
supported by any ofthe lawyers present.
They know that, imperfect as is the ad-
ministration of justice now, it would be
immeasurably worse if inebrietv were a
good plea in mitigation of penalty for
crimes. They know that the ten thous-
and homicides a year that constitute the
latest record of'the United Slates would
be swelled to a still more disgraceful
aggregate if the killers could, by prov-
ing that they were drunk when the kill-
‘ing was done, get off with alight pu n-
ishment. ' _
It is quite permissible to pitty drunk-
ards. Their weakness appeals to the
sympathies of philanthropic persons.
Many of them owe their degre dation to
heredity. . It is proper to use every
reasonable means for their reclamation.
' But society owes some obligations to
itself that must not be cancelled by
sympathy. A law that would make a
difference in the punishment of crimes
in accordance with this doctor’s plea
would strike down some of tho neces-
sary safeguards of life and property.
Thereare'var‘ious phases of drunken-
ness and various kinds of drunkards.
Some men show their true characters
only when under the influence of liquor.
Some men under that influence are an
improvement In many _rcspects upon
their sober selves, while others display
bad qualities that were not imparted,
but let loose, by the strong drink.
Should society encourage the possessors
of these bad traits to bring them out
and let them produce their natural re-
sults? Suppose a man desired to do
murder, but was deterred by fear of the
death penalty, is it not a self-evident
proposition theta reduction of penalty
for drunken murderers would prompt
him to take a few drinks and then do
his killing ‘9,

Revolutionary War Records.
Dr. Charles J. Hoadley, the state li-
brarian, has issued a circular to town
clerks in the state calling attention to
the law regarding the copying ,of revo~
lutionary records. He suggests that
the copies be made on foolscap paper,
(not law—cap,) as it would be more con-
venient for binding and preservation.
The law is as follows:
“Every town clerk in this state shall
examine carefully the town records of
INS town, and make a true copy of all
that relates to the revolutionaly war in
such records. between the year 1771 and
the year 1874 inclusive, preserving the
original spelling and capitals, and the
original form of the record as far as
may be, giving the page and volume of
the record, and shall certify that it is a.
true copy of the record, and mail the
same to the state librarian at Hartford,
on or below January 1, 1896, and shall
be paid therefore, by the state, at the
rate of twenty- -five cents per legal page.
Where there is no such record the town
clerk shall so certify. ”
Mortuary Record.
There were 1352 deaths in this state
last month, representing a death rate
of 20.5. In Norwalk the number of
deaths reported was 59, representing an
annual death rate, per 1,000 of 35.7.
Thirty-three of the deaths were of
children under five years of age. The
cause of death were, diptheria and
Group, 1 ; whooping cough, 2; malarial
fever, 4; diarrhoea, 29; consumption,

IRHMP BURGLHHS.
The Wilton and Georgetown (Rall-
road Stations Burglarized.
Secured But a Small Amount of
Booty. ’
The 1ailroad depot at Wilton was
burglarized late Saturday night. The
burglars gained an entrance by break-
ing out a pane of glass and then throw-
ing back the window catch. They se-
cured about forty cents in Small change.
They also broke open a case containing
sardines and helped themselves to sev-
eral boxes of sardines.
They then visited the depot at George-
town, gaining an enhance in the same
manner as at Wilton. Here they so
cured aboutsixty cents in small change,
and decamped.
Two tramps were seen loitering about
the vicinity of the station at Wilton,
late in the afternoon. They are sup-
posed to be the burglars and it is be-
lieved that they came toward Norwalk.
One of them was bareheaded and the
other is said to have worn a dark derby
hat and had a moustache.
The Nor walk police have been adi-
v1sed of the robbery.

Had a Fit.
Captain Dunn of the police force was
notified’ Sunday evening that there was
a woman in a dying condition near the
Union manufactory, Instead of going
himself or sending a carriage lo the
scene, he sent the messenger to Frank-
lin avenue where he said Officer Dar—
ti am might be found. Fortunately the
officer was found and being ~made ac-
quainted with the facts found that the
woman was in asemi-conscious condi-
tion. He watched , over her while a'
messenger was dispatched for 11 horse
and carriage. The woman proved to
be Julia Cole, Widow of Thomas Cole.
She was placed in the carriage, taken
to her home on Hoyt street and a phy-
cian summoned. She is much improv-
ed 10-day.

Fred McGirr‘Knocked Out.
Lewis Turtle, 9. Bridgeport barber,
defeated Fred McGirr in four rounds
day morning. Dan McIntyre acted as
seconded McGirr, while Mike Fitzger-
ald and Charles Lee acted as Tuttle’s
squires. The battle was fought with
two- -ounce gloves.
In the first two rounds McGirr had a
comparatively easy thing of it. He hit-
Tuttle with ease and once or twice
dazed him. In the third round, the
men stepped to the center of the ring
at the call of time. Tattle. landed a
swinging blow on McGirr’s neck, Stag-
gating him a little. Fred rcovered
himself and started to retaliate. He
was again made the victim of' a Swing.
This time it took him under the ear.
Down he dropped and the referee
counted four before he recovered. He
arose to his feet only to get hit iii the
same place by Tuttle. McGirr fell to
the floor and it was two or three min-
utes before he recovered consciousness.
The betting who 2 and 3 to 1 on Me-
Girr and a considerable amount of
money changed hands.
Both men weighed in at- 122 pounds
and appeared to be about equally
matched. Tuttle isa barber and this
was his first battle in the ring. He
has been known 'for some time as a
hard man to defeat in a rough and
tumble fight.

ThevEthelwynn Getting Ready.
The Greenwich News states that the
fast half-rater Ethelwynn will soon have
an opportunity to try conclusions with
an English boat of the same class, the
Spruce IV., owned byJ. Aithur Bland,
of London. The little vessel and its
owner arrived. on the steamship Fulda
Monday, to try for the international
challenge 'cup recently offered by the
Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht 'club.
The Ethelwynn, which has defeated
everything on this side ofthe water,
and has been selected to defend the cup,
is lying at Capt. Newton’s yard, Indian
Harbor, preparing for the races. The
Spruce ’IV. is 15 feet 7 inches on the
water line, being a trifle longer and
broader than the Ethelwynn. She al-
so has a larger sail area. The Ameri-
can boat is the handsomer of the two.
This beautiful little crai t has been in
Greenwich waters nearly all of the sea-
son, and has attracted considerable at-
tention.

SHOT IN THE llIR
Policeman Bartram Chases Frank
Searles for Assault.
Searies Claims to Have Been Shot
in the Leg. .
The following appeared on the police
blotter Sunday morning, signed by
Captain of Police Dann.
. “Frank Searles, the Swede, hit Wil-
liam Holmes. I went after him and he
ian. Mr. Bartram headed him off on
_the railroad tracks but he dodged him.
Mi. Bartram shot in the air, but he did
not stop and got away from him and
ran into Bates’ stoneyard. We hunted
all around there but could not find
1m.”
In the absence of the Captain, 11. Ga-
ZETTE representative interviewed Offi-
cer Bartram this morning, who told a
story substintially as follows :
“I _was coming up Water street be-
swecn 12 and 1 o’clock, and when near
the Merritt place I saw a man
who I . recognized to be Frank, the
Swede. He was running, I at the same
time saw Dann coming down the street,
and I ordered Frank to stop. He kep t_
running and I fired two shots in the air
from my revolver. -Ile litumbled and
fell but before I reached him he got on
his feet again and ran into Bates’
marble yard where I lost track of him
I searched for him but could not find
him. In the meantime Officer Kenney
appeared on the scene, and Captaih
Dann‘left us to continue the search
while he went up on to Wall street,
remarking as he did so that it 1m not
rig ht to leave the main streets un-
protected. I understaud that Frank
claims that a bullet from my revolver
near'the
ankle. IfI remember right I shot to
the right of him and in the air.’ If I
wanicd to'shoot him I had plenty of
chanc s as he was running.
To the question as to whether Searlcs
would be placed under arrest this morn-
ing, hesaid that he thought not unless
a warrant was sworn out against him.
The affair grew out of a disturbance
that Frank created'Saturday night in
Goldschmidt’s saloon on Water street,
because W. C. Holmes refused to treat
him. He at the time grabbed Holmes
and shook him and attempted to do the
same with Goldschmidt, whereupon
Lorenzo Adams, the bartender, started
for him with a bungetarter, but was
dissuaded from hitting him by Gold-
schmidt, who sent him after an officer.
Captain Dann answered t) the call
and succeeded in getting Searles out on
to the walk and then let him go.
Later Goldschmidt and Holmes were
in Austin’s restaurant getting a lunch.
Searles was also present. But it is un-
derstood that no words passed between
the parties, As Holmes was coming up
the stairs leading to the restaurant he
was followed by Scarles who struck him
a stinging blow in the back. Captain
Dann stood across the street, and
Holmes called him and asked him to
place Searies under arrest. While they
Stood parleying Searlen started and ran
down the Street l'ollowed by Captain
Dann, with the result as above stated.
Searies was around yesterday morn-
ing With a bandaged ankle claiming‘
that he had been shot by the officer
He was not placed under arrest then
and was about the street again this
morning, but was not arrested.
Mr. Holmes says that he cannot un-
derstand why it- is that Seal-lee escapes
arrest, and avers that his complaint
made to Captain_Dann Saturday night
or early Sunday morning, still holds,
or he thinks ought to hold good for
Scarles’ arrest.

THE DRAIN OF GOLD.
New York Banks Criticised For Not Ex.
tending Aid to the Treasury.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.—The rumors of'a
new bond issue continue to agitate finan-
cial circles, but the rumors are entirely
based on guesswork, as no one, except,
perhaps, the members of the bond syndi-
cate, knowsPresident Cleveland’s inten-
tions. Nearly $80, 000, 000 in gold has
been sent out of the country in the past 60
days, ands-hould this drain continue some
decisive action would be necessary.
The latest reports from the treasury de-
pertinent at Washington Show the true
amount of the gold reserve, to be $96,332,-
554, and some of the banks in this city are
harshly criticized for not putting more of
their gold in the treasury. , Six of the as-
sociated banks have $25,000,000 of the
total gold holdings of all the banks, and
of that amount the National City. bank
holds more than $7, 000. 000. These banks
and others in the clearing; house. it. is
said, would, if asked, willingly part with
half of their gold holdings for the benefit
of the treasury. But when _spoken to some
of their Officials said that they failed to
see what good it would do to transfer part
of their gold into the vaults of. the syndi-
cate while the treasury gold . reserve re.
malned below $100, 000, 000. Somethought
that if the banks take any action the gold
should go directly to the treasury before
the reserve is depleted and alr'm created.
COLONEL WARREN DEAD.
The Well Known Fenian Leader the Vic-
tim of an Accident.
BOSTON, Sept. 16.—Colonel John Wars
ren, well known on both sides of the At-
lantic because of his prominence. in Irish
politics and- as a leader of the Fenian
movement, died at the Massachusetts gen-
eral hospital in this city yesterday, aged
64 years. While passing the Masonic tem-
ple in this city a few days ago-he was
struck on the head by a piece of stone
coping, which fell from the building, and
his death was the result of this injury.
Colonel Warren was one of the mosten-
hood and one of the leaders of the expedi-
tion that left Sandy Hook, N. J., in 1867
and succeeded in landing arms and am‘
munition in Ireland. He was captured,
tried for aiding in rebellion and sentenced
to 20 years in prison. He was released
after serving two years. It was largely
due to his efforts that the naturalization
treaties of 1870 and 1871 between the
United States and 'Great Britain were pro-
claimed. '
Colonel Warren was connected with th.
New York press for some time, published
the first nationalist paper in this country
and was interested in many other news-
paper enterprises, including The Munici-
pal Record, The Trades Advocate and The
Irish Republican of this city.
