Trolley Mall Service Growing.
The prediction made that the estab-
ment of the first trolley mail route
meant a revolution in the collection and
distribution of mail in large cities is al-
ready verified. Postal cars are now
placed upon one Of the principal cable
lines in New York. Philadelphia. was
the first to demonstrate the possibility
of an excellent mail service by the trol-
ley car and New York has come as near
to adopting it as a city without electric
roads can. . .7 -
The success Of this method of mail
distribution means ultimately much
more than its application to a mere city
mail service. The trolley lines which
extend to. the suburbs of all our chief
cities will eventually be utilized for a
country service, giving the small cut-
laying places frequent daily deliveries
instead of the deliveries at long inter-
vals now furnished by the steam rail.4
Way lines. The trolley cars run at
short intervals, stop evegrywhe're they
are wanted to, and it will not be a mat
ter of insurmountable difficulty or of
long delay, to put mail cars on all sub-
urban trolley linet that will give the
small towns a mailv'service equal to that
enjoyed by the large‘cities before the
advent of the electric railways.

RE V. DAYID M. ELWOOD.
Rev'erend' David Mama Elwood,
passed to his eternal rest Monday night
aged nearly seventy-six years. He was
descended on the maternal side from
Matthew Marvin, Sr., who came to and
settled at East Norwalk two hundred
and forty-six years ago. The deceased
was born on West avenue in 18l9, his
father being a partner of the late James
Mitchell, then in the market business
here at the “Bridge.” As a lad he was
of studious habit and high literary tastes.
He taught school at Westport and had
banker E. C. Benedict as one of his
pupils. He fitted himself for and
graduated at Harvard, then entered
the Yale Medical school and practiced
in New Haven county for .a season,
then entered upon the study of Theology
nsa protege of Rev. Dr. Edwin Hall.
He preached for several years as a Con-
gregational clergyman and his sermons
Were noted for their charm of diction
and poetic beauty, as well as sincerity
and fervor. The writer recalls one
preached in the old Congregational
church, then on the, Green, during the
pastorate of Rev. Dr. Hall. It was from
the text, “He Giveth His Beloved
Sleep.” No more forcible and eloquent
Sermon was ever preached from that
pulpit, which has been favored with
some of the ablest sermonizers of this
generation. Another notable sermon
preached by Mr. EiWOOd from the same
pulpit was from the text, “Behold How
Great a Matter 9. Little FirevKindleth.”
' Subsequently he was ordained by
Bishop Lay as an Episcopal clergyman.
and has since filled various rectorships.
For several years past, Mr. Elwood
has suffered a chronic and depressing
illness, which seriously sapped his ener-
gics and impared his usefulness. Some
fifteen years ago he lost his wife, a
most estimable and accomplished wo-
man, and he never recovered from the
overwhelming sorrow of that bereave-_
ment. At last heis to peacefully sleep at
her side, in Greenwich cemetery. An
accomplished daughter, a sister and a
brother, survive the worthy departed.
Modest and retiring to a‘I‘ault. the dc:
ceased nevertheless had a great and
good heart and intellectual endowments
of a very high order. Poverty and pain
and sore bereavement were his lot, but ,
he bore all uncomplainingly, and was
more than ready to “wrap the drapery
of his couch about him and lie down to
pleasant dreams.”
As the light of a distant star floods
the earth long after the star itself has.
been extinguished, so the uprightness
and godlylife of our friend will exert
untold influences for good, long after
sorrowing kindred and friends have laid
his poor body at rest. Peace to his
memory, charity to his faul's, loving
sympithy to the near ones who loves
him most because they knew him best.
Stole a Pie.
The store of N ewsman Benedict was
burglarized Monday night. Entrance
was gained from a transom window at
the reir of the store. About the only
thing found missing by Mr. Benedict
was a pie. It is relieved to have been '

Reuretted Her Departure.
Of Miss Minnie M. Pierson who now
has charge of the annex school of the
Over River district, the Naugatuck
News says .
“Miss Minnie. M. Pierson Of South
Norwalk. who has been teaching in the
Naugatuck Schools since the beginning
of the present term, caused considerable
surprise in educational circles by for-
mally tendering her resignation to '
Chairman Penrose of the Board of Ed-
ucation on Wednesday'evening.
Miss Pierson during her comparitive—
ly brief stay in Naugatuck has managed
to make a surprising number of friends,

l0 LEAVE NORWALK.-
After Thirty-Five Years of Success-
ful Business the Norwalk Fire
Insurance Company He-
moves to New York.
Secretary Cowles Receives Com-
a
plimentary Resolutions.
0:
The laws of each of the several states
require of every Fire Insurance Com-
pany not chartered by such state, in
order to do business therein, to have a
paid up cash capital of at least $200,-
000, and a cash surplus over all liabili-
bilities besides. The Nor walk Insur
ance company has for over thirty years
had the net surplus but its capital has
_ been limited 103560.000, and so it has
not been able to do business in other
states than Connecticut. In July last
its stockholders had been convinced it
was desirable to increase its capital to
$200,000 and with it enter any or all of
the states of the Union, and do business
therein, By October the stockholders
had subscribed and paid in $250,000 in
cash thus raising its capital to $200,000
and giving a net surplus of $127,000.
To properly transact the extended
business it became practically necessary
to remove its underwriting department
to New York city, and that its secretary
should be at that ofiicc every day, when
not necessarily traveling among its
agencies. Mr. George R. Cowles, sec-
retary of the company from its start in
1800, decided that doing so would in-
volve more labor and absence from
home than he was willing to incur, and
on the 3d instant resigned his secretary-
ship. While the directors accepted the
resignation and elected Mr. F. E. Shaw
secret-try, they voted that the home
and general office of the company
should remain in Norwalk, and be con-
ducted by Mr. Cowles as resident-sec-
retary, and Mr. Cowles accepted that
position. The underwriting depart-
~ment of the company will be soon re-
moved to New York city and Mr. Sam-
uel L. Wood who has been connected
for eight years with the company, will.
be transferred to its New York Ofilce.
At the meeting of the Directors Oct.
’3, 1895 the following preamble and reso-
lutions were unanimously passed by the
Board :
WHEREAS, intimation has been re-
ceived by this Board that Mr. Geo R.
Cowles, is unable to longer serve tnv
Company as its Active Secretary, there-
fore be it .
nsonvnD, That his retirement from
the post he has filled for the past 35
years With such high credit to himsen
and a corresponding benefit to the Com-
pany, the thanks of this Board are here-
by tendered him for the continuous ex
ercise of excellent judgment and ability
in the administration of the Company
afi‘airs. , -
ltnsonvno, That it is with a sense 01
appreciation and approval we learn that
Mr. Cowels’ retirement from the active
Secretyship does not mean the sever-
ance of his connection With the Compa-
UV .
RnsonvsD, That as a mark Of our per-
sonal and official esteem these resolu-
tions be spread on the minutes of thlr
meeting, and that. a copy of same duly
attested by the President be presented .
to Mr. Cowles.
Father Slocum's Talk.
Of a meeting of the St. Joseph’s T.
A. B. society in Waterbury, Sunday
evening the American says:
The address of the evening was given
by the Rev. Father Slocum, Whose re-
marks were mostly addressed to the
young men. He said that as he became
better acquainted he hoped to do better
work in the cause of temperance. “I
believe that there is room for work in
this city. Waterbury can hardly be
classed as one of the most temperate
towns in Connecticut. I believe that if
one took a lantern with him he could
find more than one back door right
here in this city. It pleases me to see
so many young people gathered here
on a Sunday evening enjoying :sensible
innocent recreation. ‘
Father Slocum spOke in a very hum-
orous strain that won continued ap-
plause. He paid his respects in clos-
ing to the rumseller in politics: “In a
recent party convent-ion in New Haven
23 out of 27 candidates were rumsellers,
and when the people rose in their might
and buried the ticket under a crushing
defeat, these men had the efl’rontery to
cry ‘party treachery.’ I place my party
loyalty second to no man’s. It is a
right I wish no man to interfere with,
and, in the exercise of this right I want
to influence no man. But there are
times when a man, in justice to himself
and to his country, must brush aside
more party lines in his desire to have
Worthy representatives chosen for our
places of public trust.”
Father Slocum, in conclusion. dwelt
on the opportunities that Were being
continually offered to young men who
were temperate. The audience were
deeply interested throughout the even-
ing, and web number on the program
received hearty applause.

The Best Remedy for Chronic Diarrhoea.
Mr. Gardner M. Dean, of Oakhnm, Mass,
says: “I contracted diarrhoea While in the
army during the civil war. I have since
suli'ered much at times and have tried many
remedies, but have found none that proved
as good as Chamberlain’s.- COIic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. ‘My wife has also
used it for gas in the stomach, and it has al-
ways relieved hcr.”' For sale by E. P. \Veed,

cape from being killed on Sunday last.

Watsrs’ burn. He gave the lad deserv-
ed cen sure.

Father Slocum Remembered.
and John Henry went to Waterbury
yesterday and presented Rev. Father
Slocum with a gold chalice and an ele-
gant top buggy, a gift from his former
parishioners in this city. The present-
.ltion' speech was made by Father Mc-
Mahon. The recipient responded in a
fitting little speech in which he thank-
ed the donors and said that the gifts
were greatly appreciated and that the
memory of the donors would never be
efi‘aced frOm his mind. The visitors
were then treated to a ride about the
city and returned home well pleased
with their visit. Nearly $500 was raised
for the purchase of the testimonials.
More than enough money was contrib-
uted and in some instances the contrib—
utions were returned. The money was
raised in less than three days.

No Cause for Alarm.
The published reports of the visit
of Senator Ferris, Tallmadge Ba-
ker, Eben Hill and others to Presi-
dent Clark of the Consolidated railroad,
and the threatened filling in of Rail-
road Square at South Norwalk and the
converting of the same into a freight
yard, were more on the scare order than
facts.
While it is true that the Consolidated
officials positively refused to allow the
Street Railway company to place rails
on its property, the city of South Nor-
walk will be treated far better.
It is the intention of the Railroad Of-
ficials to begin condemnation proceed-
ings against the Whistleville property
and the money raised by the citizens of
South Norwalk will be turned over in
payment. As soon as this is accom-
plished the Railway company will deed
to the city, Railroad Square.

start back towards Norwalk, and Sun-
day night sheepishly walked into their
respective homesand went to bed.
