Fortunate Grace Church.
Considering the almostunprecedented
stringency of the times, the recent good
fortune of (uses church in the total
liquidation of its debt, is of more than
ordinary significance. No wonder that
church’s fifth anniversary last Sunday,
was of- such engrossing interest. The
raising of nearly eight thousand dollars
by voluntary contributions, in times as
hard as these, rises to the.extraordi-
nary. '
More than the faithful and rejoicing
Rector’s earnest sermon; more than the
good Bishop’ s letter of hearty congratu-
lation, was the simple, but eloquent
fact that the large sum of $7,762.62 had
been cheerfully given in these hard
times, to rid this rapidly growing church
of its incubus of debt, which was in no
way pressing upon it for an immediate
It is true. Mr. Charles
F. Osborn gave the lump sum
of $5,000 and Mr. E. A. Woo’dWard
$1,000 more, yet this left nearly $2,000
still to be contributed by others main-
ly of slender means, and devotion to
the church they loved, led them to
make, in._.many cases no doubt, an in-
convenient sacrifice. A total of $1,860
Was thus contributed, over paying the
church debt nearly a hundred dollars.
The record is splendid and phenome-
nal and the GAZETTE again extends its
payment.

Longqubllc Service. .
Selectman 'Dasknm has served this
town seven years in his present official
capacity. For, the greater portion of
that period he has done the dual work
of selectman and Clerk of the board.
During his long term of service more
than Ely/til hundred thousand dollars of
the town’s money has thus far passed
through his hands. Since the advent
of the deplorable business§and financial
depression, his ofiicial duties, especially
in the matter of “poor orders,” have
greatly increased. So much so, he as.
sures us, that he has been compelled to
labor late at night and on Sundays, to
the ruin of his eye sight, in order to
keep his books and amounts in.any less
bewildering shape, than the miserable
system or want of system he found in
vogue. when he took theoflice and
which every succeeding board has con-
tinued, rendered possible.
No wonder he now assures us our
town should have one member of the
board who is a first class bookkeeper
and accountant, With no other matters
to care for, or else an independent
officer for that special duty. He also,
wisely, as We think, claims that . our
auditors of town accounts should do
their work not less frequently than once
in three months and not leave all, as
, now,.uniil the end of the year for ex-
amination.
Surely the more the public is in-
formed upon the subject of the admin-
istration of our town aflairs, the more
imperative is shown to be the necessity
for a radical reform. Let partisanship
be deferred for once until we can work
our mixed up town affairs off the
breakers by the election of at least one
first-class business man.
. Scraps of Clerical History.
The calling of Rev. Dr. Talmage to
the Co-pastcrate cf dear, old Dr. San-
derland’s First Presbyterian - church in
\Vashington, recalls a fact in the local
history of Norwalk’s First Congrega-
tional church. Just prior to the break-
ing out of the war, Dr. Sunderland had
been given a four year’s vacation by
his people in which to go abroad and
recuperate his broken health. He was
at once seized upon to serve as pastor
of the American Chapel in Paris for the
full period of his granted absence, and
a hunt was made for a minister to fill
his Washington pulpit. The Rev. Jo-
seph Anderson, then but a short time
out of his divinity school, had been set.
‘ plot.
‘tled over our First; Congregational
church at a salary of one thousand dol-
lars a year. During the counts of the
war when gold went to a premium of
two hundred and eighty and all living
. expenses had advanced in about the
same ratio, the pastor moderately ex-
pressed a desire to have his salary rais-
ed to twelve hundred. This so aston-
ished some of the older saints in the
church that their protests against a
raise, were vigorous and open, for had
not Rev. Dr. Edwin Hall, the authcr,
logician, and able sermoniZer, filled
that self-same sacred desk 10, many
years, for an annual salary of seven
hundred and fifty dollars, and on his
munificent income educated his eldest
son for the ministry ? And prior to Dr.
Hall, had not the Rev. Henry Benedict
of pious and blessed memory, filled the
same pulpit at a salary of four hundred
dollars ? So that ajiimp to twelve hun-
dred was'not to be tolerated, and parson
Anderson was given to understand it in
such an uncomfortable Way that his
self—respect forced a resignation. His
fame as an earnest and eloquent minis-
ter hadlalready begun to spread the
state, and among others,n call to Water-
bury at a salary of two thousand five
hundred and persona re, was promptly
extended, and later on another call to
Dr. Sunderland‘s church as co-paetor
at a salary of five thousand dollars, was
extended him, but his commitlal to the
First church of Waterbury, compelled
his declination of the flattering Wash.-
ington call.
Rev. Dr. Anderson, still remains pas-
tor of the Waterbury church, with the
fame throughout the state, of being
about the ablest pulpit sermonizer in
all the Congregational churches. Now
further interesting history is revealed
in the fact that while Dr. Sundefland’s
church agrees to make the amount of
salary such as will be entirely satisfac-
tory lo the famous Dr. Talmage, a
London syndicate offers to build him a
tabernacle ihat shall seat ten thousand
and to pay him any sum he may name
as his salary. In other words, the Lou-
doners desire, doubtless, to inaugurate
church, With Dr. Talmage as the
drawing card. _
- Reference to the late Rev. Henry
Benedict, once a pastor here, later and
longer in Westpnrt, was the father of
multi-millioniare Commodore E. C.
Benedict, nbw deemed the closest of all
President and Mrs. Cleveland’s friends,
both of whom are attendants at Dr.
Sunderland’s church, and of which,
Mrs. Cleveland is a member.
The Seymour Property Opened.
At last the property on the east s1de
of West avenue, known as the Seymour
place, situated in South Norwalk, is to
be opened up into building sites. It
has already. been surveyed and new
avenues mapped out and among those
already named arc Seymour and Pleas-
ant avenues.
The first sale made was that ofyester-
day to Miss Bertha Elle, er. al.,
ter of James'E. Eils, of Broad River,
through James Mitchell 62: Son. The
purchase consists of 18.) feet fronting
on West avenue, and extending back
308 feet on Pleasantavenue to Seymour
avenue._
-ihe deed was given by Mr. Gould
Seymour and his Sister Miss Amelia
Seymour.
The opening of this property will re-
sult iii the placing on the market some
of the most eligible building Sites in the
entire town. Comparatively little
grading will be necessary. .
It is not improbable that in. the near
future a street or avenue will be opened
through the entire property connecting
' With the present street known as Girard
place.
~Elforts have been made for years to
have the owners of the property place
it on the market but without avail.
Now that it is accomplished adjoining
property owners are pleased and the
city of South Norwalk will have to its
credit many new and sigh tl y residences.

Failed to Appear at the Joint
Meeting of the Selectmen and
Auditors When Requested
' To Be Present.
Addison Present and Adhere to His
Former Story.
There .was a joint meeting of the
Selectmen and Auditors at the Select-
men’s office last night, for the purpose
of clearing up the present town accounts
muddle. The Selectmen had requested
Col. Samuel Daskam, the cx-clerk of
the board, to be present at the meeting,
as had the Auditors, but for some un-
accountable reason Mr. Daskam failed
to appear and the meeting Was held
Without him. _
Charles Addison, the colored janitor,
was also requested to be present andhe
put in an early appearance. The ques-
tion of the orders given to him was
again gone over and Addison placed
under a severe cross-examination, but
in no way was his former story contra-
dicted. He stated most emphatically
that he had never received an order for
money on the town treasurer or that he
owed Mr. Daskam a cent. He further
said that his pay as janitor had been re-
ceived in orders on the different mer-
chants and not in cash.
The Auditors had 0 irefully prepared
a list- of all the bills held as vouchers
by the Selectmen, that had been im-
properly recoipted, and gave the same
to Selectmen Raymond and Thomes.
who promised to secure properly re—
ceipted bills for the same as far as it
was in their power. . .
A GAZETTE representative endeavored
to obtain a copy of the list, this morn-
ing, but while Mr. Raymond did not ob-
ject to its publication, Mr. Daskam
said he prefered not to have the same
published until after he had gone over
it.
There appears to be no question but
what the selectmen will be able to fur-
nish correctly receipted bills for those
now in their possession except in the
case of Addison, who denines that he
ever received any money, and Will not
give a receipt for those bills made out
and signed in ill: name by Mr. Daskam,
Without, as he says, his knowledge or
authority.
The Auditors found the accounts of
Town Treasurer W. A. Curtis correct
in every particular and passed them
without objection.

lull-Rule EXPLOSION.
Forty Pounds of Dynamite .EXDIod-
ed in the Center Pler of the '
.0ld Railroad Brldge.
A Valuable Horse Killed.
At 4:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon,
South Norwaik experienced an explo-
sion that shook the city from end to
end.
Rocks and water were thrown high in
the air and while no human lives were
lost,- a valuable horse belonging to
contractors Mairs & Lewis, was killed.
W orkmen were removing the large
center pier of thevold railroad bridge
and acharge of forty pounds of dynamite
was used. The charge was exploded
by electricity and the effect was some-
thing terrific. .
The force of the CXplosiou threw
rocks as far as Riverside avenue on the
east side of the Washington street
bridge and far down Water street at the
west end of the bridge.
Ajagged rock weighing eight and a
half pounds smashed through the roof
of the Lock factory and into a water
tank on the top floor, injuring the tank
and throwing water all over the room. _
On Water street the windows in Mrs.
Kelly’s saloon were demolished and
several other panes of glass in the
neighborhood were demolished.
A fine team of horses belonging to
Contractor Maire 85 Lewis Was passing
along Water street near the Hatch tit
Bailey lumber yard when an immense
stone struck one of the horses in the
side knocking out his entrails. The
poor horse started to run away but fell
dead at the corner of Water street.
The driver, Thomas Renter, although
escaping injury was covered with blood
from the injured horse.
Another big boulder struck the roof
of the new extension of the Iron Works
just over the head of Henry P. Morgan,
head draughtsman, but luckily for Mr.
Morgan it did not quite break through,
hanging hall in and half out of the
room. f
At the old carpenter shop, near the
steamboat dock, another rock came
partly through the roof. William
Craw, who was at work in the, shop,
would no doubt have been killed had
the rock come entirely through the
roof, and considers his escape a most
lucky one.
Over on the east side the force olgthe
blast appealed the worst. A piece of
granite nearly four feet long struck the
roadway infront of Shepherd’s black-
smith shop, .boring a large hole in the
ground. Luckily there was no trolley
car standing there at the time.
John ,Buxton’s billboard exactly op-
posite where the Gregory Point trolley
car stops was perforated with holes
from the flying stones.
In the Aisthorpe building an immense
rock smashed through the roof scatter-
ing plaster and boards in all directions.
Mrs. Henry who lives in the building
had risen from her chair at the sound
of the explosmn and started toward the
door when the stone came through the
ceiling. She had a narrow escape.
Rocks were thrown in all directions
on the flats and the air. seemed to be
full of flying missles.
Tue explosmu is said to have been a
grand sight by eyewitnesses. Water
and stones were thrown high in ,the air,
but the water was scarcely. noticed on
account of the air being filled with
flying rocks.
Workmen on the caisson, within
twenty- -five feet of the blast, escaped
injury but saw a sight long to be re-
membered, as did several people stand-
ing on the temporary bridge.
The west abutment was removed
Thursday and as the charge of a 13
pound dynamite cartridge had but little
effect, a forty pound cartridge was used
yesterday with the above result.
It seems a miracle that With the
large number of stones flying from the
explosion no one was injured, but such
was the case, the poor horse being the
only victim of the explosion.
Life in the East.
At‘ the morning service in Grace
church to-morrow Dr. John Saadi Will
make an address on “Mohammedanism
and Life in the East.” Dr. Saadi Was
an interpreter for the British EXpedi-
tion for the relief of Gen. Gordon at-
lthartoun. He has since been a self~
sustaining missionary in Morroco and
is now completing his studies, medical
and theological, in this country. He
will soon return to his missionary field.

FIRE IN BRIDGEPORT.
The Barnum Building Badly Dam-
aged by the Fire Fiend.
Heavy Loss of PropertY.
A bartender named Robert Fitzgerald
discovered a blaze shortly after 5
in the second
story of what is known as the Barnum
gymnasium building on. Water street,
Bridgeport. He gave an alarm which Was
reaponded to by steamers housed near
by. The flames, however, burned so
fiercely a general alarm was sent out.
About all the firemen could do was to
save the adjoming buildings which they
manfully succeeded in doing.
-Tl1e building is a large one and com-
prises, on the ground floor, the stores.
from 424 to 452. Nothing remains of
the building except the brick Walls, so
completely was it gutted by the fierce
flames. These walls threaten to top-
ple over, so greatly cracked are they
by the intense heat of the flames.
The fire first started as stated, on the
second floor occupied by the Bridge-
port Steam Heating Company.
Wessels Brothers, and John ll. Neil &
00., who suflered the loss of every-
thing they had-in the building.
It is said to have been the worst fire
that has visited that city in a long time.
The loss is estimated at about $50,000.
A report that the Hubbell. Wade St
Rider company occupied one of the ad-
joining buildings and had suffered loss
by the fire was not true, their store be-
ing located nearly two blocks away.
Proposed improvement.
The new occupants of the S. B. S.
