The Jay Gould Estate. ‘
The appraisement of the estate of the
late Jay Gould foots up the comfortable
total of nearly $83,000,000. The real
estate is valued at two millions and the
rest is in various kinds of personal prop-
erty, principally railway securities.
Deducting the payments alreadylmade,
the residue in the hands of the execu-
tors is over $73.000,000. This may not
be the largest individual fortune re-
corded in this country, but it is cer-
tainly the largest fortune ever accumu-
lated in so short a time and by purely
speculative means. Remembering the
way Gould made his mouse-trap start
and how little he actually contributed
to the constructive development of the
country, it is not strange that such pro-
digious figures as these furnish a text
for the discontented.
More Town Accounts Muddled.
Ridgefield it seems has a lot of mud-
dled-up town accounts as well as Nor-
walk. At the Annual Town Meeting
just held there, a motion made to ac-
cept the Selectmen’s report, brouget
Bepjamin‘K. Northrop, one of the audi-
tors Of‘thedown's accounts to his feet.
Henproc‘eréded to point out the unbusi-
ness method inwhich the town’s busi-
ness was conducted by their Selectmen.
He said that he charged no dishonesty,
butqthat his colleague and himself had
takbn great pains to find out just how
the town accounts had been managed.
They found that bills had been paid
without exercising due care, and in
making up the report, certain important
items had been misplaced. He urged
a more careful system of keeping ac-
counts, following the same course in
town affairs as obtains in private busi-
ness. Then followed a general criticism
Of the expenditure Of the town’s mon-
eys for the highways, for the town’s
poor, and for miscellaneous items, end-
in? with a very. timely and sensible
resolution offered by Mr. William O
Seymour. This resolution provides
'that hereafter the town auditors shall
meet monthly with the Board of Select-
men and examine all bills presented for
payment.
The General Convention.
The General Convention of the Prot:
estant Episcopal church in the United
States is now holding its triennial ses-
sion at Minneapolis. It is a body-of
. somewhat peculiar constitution, in an
ecclesrastical sense, following the pecu-
liar political constitution Of the Nation.
The English colonies in America re
ceived their laws and general institu-
tions from the mother country, and
with them came, through English chan-
nels, the missions ofthe'church. But the
ecclesiastical. authorities at home, tied
up by the alliance with the Stdte, had
never granted to these missions any in-
dependent organization, and after the
war of separation was over, {lie few
clergy and congregations left scattered
along the seabOard had to gather them-
selves together as best they could. As
the colonies had been distinct, so now
the new State was recognized as the
political integer, and the church in each
,State where it had strength enough re-
maining to be considered at all, began
to think of an organization of its own.
The theoretical question whether each
State should comprise a'diocese only or
a national cnurch was not important as
long as there were no bishops to make
either. Connecticut was strong enough
to act ,alone, and having secured the
consecration of BishOpISeabui-y in Scot-
land, organized upon an independent
basis. The other States consulted to-
gether and made their applications for
the episcopate together, and White and
Provoost were consecrated in LondOn
together, for Pennsylvania. and New
York, their dioceses being coterminus
with the States. _
When the foundations were thus laid
_for a national church, its organisation
‘ naturally followed .the forms of the
._ l
Federal Constitution and the General.
Convention combined the functions of
a provincialsynod and those of a nation-
al council, without following the actual
form of either. The bishops constitute
a separate house and there is a House
of Clerical and Lay Deputies, composed
of four of each order frOm each diocese.
The House of Bishops had but three
members when this constitution was
adopted in 1889, the eldest in consecra-
tion being appointed‘ to preside, and
but ten dioceses sent deputies to the
lower house. At Minneapolis the roll
Of bishops bear 79 names and 53 organ-
ized dioceses are represented.
Conservative sentiment has kept the
original constitution of the General
Convention almost ’without change.
The last General Convention appointed
a commission to consider this subject
and its report embodying a number Of
suggested amendments, has been a
leading subject of discussion at Minne-
apolis. A few of the suggested amend-
ments have some importance, but the
conservative force of the General Con-
vention is great, and as anything done
now must be passed on again three
years hence, the changes made are
morelikely to follow than to precede
acknowledged needs.
Nobody can read the letters from the
convention without feeling that the old
~paradox “conspicuousby his absence,”
fits the case of our Bishop Williams,
The eyes of his venerable associates in
the house of bishops, turn toward his
empty chair, refusing to be- reconciled
to its emptiness. “The only thing to
be regretted,” said Bishop Whipple,
of Minnesota, “is thatBishop Williams
isnot here. I regard him as the great-
est man in the church to-day, or at
least one of the greatest.”
The Hartford Courant notes the fact-
that the newspaper correspondents tes-
tify to the universality and sincerity Of
the sorrow at his inability to be pres-
ent. “l‘his fresh evidence of the re-
gard andvaffeclion in which he is so de-
servedly held by his Episcopal brethren
and the whole body of clergy and laity
convened in the Minnesota city is very
gratifying to his home people here in
Connecticut. Churchmen and non-
churchmen alike, we all have vested
rights in John Williamshl—le is common
property. He is a‘ConnectiCut institu-
tion.”

Closer-Scrutiny oftlie Poor Account
TO-day is what has heretofore been
known as “order day” at the Select—
mens’ Office, a day on which if has been
charged that orders were issued with
but little examination or hiscriminatlon.
Parents frequently sent their small
children, it is alleged, and orders for
groceries, etc. were freely handed out
to them. Italians in large numbers,
with unpronouncable names, also came
in for their share of such orders.
In the past, the town has also paid
the rents and furnished coal for many
families, some of whom it is believed
were well able to pay for the same
themselves.
The new Board of Selectmen has deo
cided to call a half on this wholesale
and indiscriminate giving of town aid.
It is not to be understood, however,
that those really deserving, will be re-
fused assistance.
To-day all callers for town aid were
closely questioned by First Selectman
Isaac Seileck as to their condition and
worthiness. If satisfactery, an. order
was issued, if not, the applicant was
dismissed with it “Can’t do it. Good
morning.” All children who came for
orders were sent home to tell their par-
ents they must come and state their
case.
All the Italian applicants were dis-
missed without their usual order.
Mr. Selleck politely told such callers
as asked for house-rent, that the town
could not furnish money for that, in
any case where the paities could be
more cheaply housed at the Town Farm.
Of course there was much grumbling
by those who were refused but Mr.
Selleck was unyielding, and they left.
some with v.ndictive and others with
disappointed looks on their faces.
The new board eVidently. mean Re-
form, and their efforts to weed out the
deserving from the undeserving poor,
will no doubt result in a great saving of
money to the town and win the approbaw‘
tion of all good citizens. ‘
One applicant for aid, a woman, on
being asked how she gained a livelihood
replied—“By the help of God and a
town order every week.”

Steamboat to His Rescue.
Yesterday afternoon as the steamboat
which plies between New York and
Stamford, ivas nearing Stamford har-
bor a man was discovered clinging to
an overturned boat. The steamer went
to his rescue and he was lifted on board,
in a greatly exhausted condition. He
was taken into the engine room and
shortly after revived. He said that he
was almost completely tired out and was
about to lose his hold on the boat when
he was rescued. A N orWalk passenger
was on the boat but failed to learn the
man’s name. ‘

1: Exploded.
The turning of water into a burning
car load of whiskey at Peoria caused a
fearful explosion and the fatal injury
of several bystanders. Kentuckians
will recognize in thisanother argument
against mixing good whiskey with wa-
ter of any grade.
First Selectman Selleck is of opinion
that “milk” is a safer ingredient for
subduing whiskey, especially for town
officials.
Rentz—-Santley.
The famous Rentz-Santley company
which comes to the Norwalk Opera
House Thursday, October 17th, has
always been considered. the very best
of high class burlesque organizations.
Last season’s business was the best in
many years which of course, was due
to the excellent company and clever
entertainment. This season Mr. Leavitt
promises an entire new style of per-
formance, replete with up to date speci-
alties, sensational features, gorgeous
first part, original burlesque, a new
series of artistic living pictures, magni-
ficent costumes. andlast but not least,
beautiful women.
Captain Kate.
Captain Kate which has proven the
funniest comedy seen in either London
or New York for a decade, will be pre-
sented by Agnes Herndon at the Nor-
walk Opera Honse next Tuesday even-
ing. The play is the work of Augustus
Thomas who has written several pieces
for the London stage and who has pro-
duced in Captain Kate asuccess such as
a playwright rarely duplicates in a life
time. The comedy is now in its sec-
ond year in the English Metropolis
and its extreme popularity may be
guessed at from the fact that it has run
all through the London summer with
no dimunition in the size of its audi-
ences. It is a comedy full of diverting
complications, and with a central figure
which is the essence of eccentricity.
Escape from a Fatallty.
As Mr. and Mrs, William R. Mc-
Cready, of Compo, were driving up
East avenue a little before noon to-day,
a broken telephone wire lay across the
roadway. Mr. McCready’s horse struck
the wire square in the forehead,
and instantly went down. In the
horse’s fall, the carriage was brought
up against the suspended end of the
broken wire and but for their carriage
top, which served as a fender, the wire
would have caught Mr. and Mrs. Mc-
Cready across their faces or necks. It
was a most fortunate escape from a de-
plorable if not fatal accident. The
horse was unhitched and brought to
Dann’s Stable, apparently only a little
stiffened up by the shock itexperienced.
The break it seems was caused by a
trolley-arm on a Tramway car coming
in contact with the telephone wire.
Superintendent Morris soon had. the
damaged wire placed in repair-

THE DURANT class.
A Mutton May Be Brought Out at 1am
Student’s Cross Examination.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12.—Ever since
the preliminary examination of Theodore
Durant a vaguely defined impression has
existed that he confided to the keeping of
his attorneys a statement of his knowl-
edge of the two murders which have at-
tracted so much attention. Just how or
Why this impression gained such a hold
on the public cannot be explained, but it
received a shaking up in the cross exami-
nation of Durant by Mr. Barnes.
The district attorney asked the young
medical student if he had not made a
statement of his connection with the mur-
Ber of Blanche Lamont, and, sealing the
lame in an envelope, placed it infcharge
at General Dickinson, with instructions
not to open it unless he was convicted.
For one brief moment Durant hesitated
before replying, and then, with the ut—
most nonohalance, said he had not.
~ This was enough, however, to start
again rumors long dormant because of
newer sensations and theories advanced
both by the prosecution and by the de-
fense. That there is some foundation for
Mr. Barnes’ very pertinent question even
that gentleman does not deny, though he
is cautious enough not to say anything
which can be positively construed as an
admission that the prosecution is in pos-
session of‘ such important evidence.
“I do not care to talk about the matter
at the present time, ” he said. “The ques
tion may have been asked at random, or
It may have been a prearranged plan. It
would not be right to talk about the mat-
ter just now. though 160 not mind saying"
that if the cross examination is continued
any further on this line it may be assumed
as true that the prosecution is standing
on fact and not theory.”
In consequence of this equivocal state-
ment the cross examination, which con-
tinues, will be listend to with absorbing
interest.
Just what testimony wlll be introduced
In rebuttal is of course not known, though
it is generally thought that an attempt
will be made to show that Durant is pos-
sessed of more than ordinary strength and
quite capable Of carrying the body of
Blanche Lamont to the tower under the
conditions which are supposed to have ex-
isted at the time of the murder.
INDIAN LAND BVIOTIONS.
Trouble In Nebraska In Removing the
Flonrnoy Company Les-ces.
FENDER, Neb, Oct. 12.——Evlctlcns of
the Flournoy company’s sublessees were
resumed here. The household eflects of
August Swanson were loaded into wagOns
by the Indian police, and Swanson and
his wife and family were started off the
reservation. Before the procession had
gone far it was met by J. F. Myers, man-
ager of the Flourney company, and Unit-
ed States Deputy Marshal Garrett. They
immediately interfered with the eviction.
Mr. Myers told the Indian police that
they must not proceed to evict or in any
way interfere with the settlers who claim
to hold under lenses from the Flourney
company. He said it was not the inten-
tion of the court that the evictions should
be made by the Indian police, but that
United States marshals would be set to
work if it became necessary. The Indian
police questioned the right of the marshal
to interfere, and Myers finally threatened
to kill the first Indian who meddled with
the settlers.
It is probable that Captain Beck will
proceed to carry out his instructions from
Washington without further delay, and
that the evictions will proceed.
