Whitney of New York has told the reporters that he is not a can- didate for the Democratic presidential nomination. “I do not think my Dem- ocratic friends will misunderstand me in this matter, and they will know that I am not undertaking to refuse some- thing that has not been offered to me. I merely say that I am not a candidate and that I must not be considered a candidate; that my business affairs are engaging all my time and attention. I am not so ungracious as not to appre- ciate the great- kindness and honor that has been shown to me in this matter, but I am not a candidate and have not been a candidate.” —000— The Bible in Public Schools. The outcome of the proposed plan to restore the practice of reading the Bible in the public schools of Chicago will be watched with general interest. In its way this plan is unique, ’ A com- mittee made up of Protestants. Catho' lics and Hebrews is to prepare “non- sectarian passages” of the Scripture for use. . As each of these religious divisions virtually has its own Bible, and as most Hebrews reject the new Testament altogeiher", it will be curious to see what “non—sectarian passages” are like. Moreover, which Bible is it 'which this committee is to sift, edit and emasculate appears to be left to conjec- ture. It will transpire to most sensible people that if the Bible must thus be weeded before it is placed in the hands of pupils it might better not be read at all. Nothing will tend more to under- mine reSpcct for the Bible than to ex— purgate it, as if it contained passages which would pollute the minds of chil- dren. The Possibility of Good Highways Whether public sentiment ever be: comcspowerful enough to compel the adoption of sensible methods in the construction of permanent country roads, the improvements in the machin- cry for road making have certainly made the construction of good roads possible at a less costthan at any former period. In the old time. the broken stone. spread upon a macadamized road was usually avoided by those driving over it during dry weather, the clay or gravel sides of the roadway being preferred. The broken stone would be worn down to a smooth track only when the wet weather of the fall and winter made the ‘sides of the roadbed impassable. The invention of the steam stone- crusher and the ponderous steam roller has changed all this. The stone is now crushed at the quarry at- a much cheap- er ratc than it could be done by the old- fashioned method of breaking it with hand hammers. When it is Spread up- on the roadway the heavy steam rollers do in a single day, the work of many days, and thousands of heavily loaded Wagons under the old system. The crushed stone is rolled and compacted into a solid mass at once, and, with a top-layer of finer stone, the surface is rolled as smooth as that of a gravel road in dry weather. Under the modern system the macadamized road becomes a model driveway, so far as the surface is concerned, as soon as it is completed, . and for stability has no equal. One highway improved after this man- ner would work a revolution in our en- tire system of road.making, and lead to the utter abandonment of thepheap and nasty roads/that now disgrace our State and nearly every other State in the Union .

' “A Measly Trick.” ‘l‘hus remarked a youngster ‘who saw yesterday afternoon, about” 4 o’clock, a cat belonging to Groceryman Ray- ~ mond, exercising herself with a rodent nearly as large as the kittens she had left at home in a cracker box. Tabby was allowing the rat "to skip here and therein the excectancy of making a break for liberty, when a dog came up and crushed the life out of what ‘bc- longed by right to poor Tabby.

Sheriff Hawley and Detective Arnold are of the- opinion that Arthur Van Nalts who is confined in the Stamford lockun on his confession Of having robbed the post office at Rowayton and Darien, is a fake, and thatlhe had no hand in the robberies. “Doc.” Underwood’s Appeal. “Doc.” Underwood, owner of the Wesiport Hotel, Saturday retained the law firm of Canfield & Judson, of Bridgeport, to take an appeal to the court on the decision of the County Commissioners in refusing to grant his application for a liquor licpnse. Father Lee Appointed. Bishop Tierney has appointed ltev. John Lee, of Bridgeport, temporary pastor of St. Cecilia’s, Waterbury, dur- ing Rev. Father Martin’s absence, who is an inmate of a New York hospital. Father Lee was a resident of East Bridgeport: He has been connected with St. Mary’s church, New Britain, for some time as assistant, but has been in Waterbury during the past week. He is about 45 years of age. Won’t Pay His Bills. Mr. C. H. Buttery whose son James married a New Canaan girl against his wishes, has issued a notice forbidding all persons from trustingthe boy on his account as he will pay no debts of his contracting. James is a minor but weighs 180 pounds and ought to be able to hustle about and earn enough to pay his own bills. Make a break, James, and show your father that even though you have not reached the legal age of 21 years, you have all the qualifications. Hunt’s Captured“ Constable Hunt this morning placed under arrest 0. Zibethicus. He be- longs to the rodent family one of the oldest known families in this country. He was running about Wall street as if out of his element, and acting in an ex- cited manner. He was locked up at Police Headquarters, and alter Jack Johnson and Charles Adams had re— fused to go bail for him, was given an Opportunity to skip out, failing to take which he was sentenced to be killed, and Mr. Huntwas deputized as his exe- cutioner. His alias is Musquash, and he has a reputation of being somewhat addicted to thieving. ——-—40. fl...___————-—- ,. Foot Ball. The Triangle Athletic club of Bridge- port scnt a team to this city on Satur- day to play the eleven of the Y. ”VI. C. A’s. The Bridgeport boys thought they could play foot ball, but they could not play a little bit. They were not in it, so to speak, and went home defeated by a score of 6 to 0. Their interference and. team work was good but ground gaining was not one of their strong points. Norwalk’s team work and in- terference could not have been worse but the individual playing of several members brought victory to their ban- ner. Especially is this true of George Lauder 'who made the play and touch- down of the game, again having prov- ed' himself to be the star foot ball play- er of Norwalk. ' The principal gains for Norwalk were made by Lauder and Wakeman, but the tackling of D. W. Raymond, and “Hamp” Weed saved Nor-walk several times. A. B. Bussell, Ward Gregory and finally “Dave” Raymond, were obliged to leave the field owing to injury, but their places were ably filled by substi- tutes, and Bridgeport could not score. The Y. M. C. A. Jr. football eleven walked over to Westport, Saturday afternoon where they played a game of football on the gridiron in that place with the Wéstport eleven, and were put to routby a score of 12 to 0. They Walked back. home again with laggard steps in strong contrast with those which they left home. _. 0.43.4.«1 Chamberlain’s Cough. fiemeiiy When troubled with a cough or cold give this remedy a trial.

The town of Stratford has not known so much excitement in many a day'as it experienced on Saturday. ' About'4z30 o’clock Saturday morning Charles Welch, who is night watchman in the Bridgeport Traction Company’s East End car barn was aroused from his peaceful slumbers by hearing some- one tapping on the window of the room in which he sleeps. The man had no hat and hisflhair was dishevelled and unkempt. As soon as the outsider saw Welch looking he ran away. At 7 o’clock the same morning while Welch was on his way home to breakfast he saw the same being. It was hatless, coatless and shoeless. Welch’s dog chased him and the wild man ran to the - Stratford creek,jumpcd in and swam to the opposite side and disappeared in the woods. Constable Stagg ofStratford was not- ified and search was instituted. After beating the brush for several hours the man was caught and locked up The wild man’s appearance was piti- able, indeed. He neither had on acoat, hat or shoes and both his feet weroin a terrible conditiOn from coming in con- tact with stones and other obstacles which he necessarily met on his travels. After a time he became apparently ra- tional. He said his name was William Harrison and that he formerly Worked for Miller brothers in Merideh. So far as he could recollect he had been in Great swamp for three days. ,Harrison does not remember when he ileit Meriden but thinks he stole away from the police there. He was taken back to Meriden this morning. Another Discovery. The Selectmen received a communi- cation thc other day from 'l‘allmade Ba- ker, county treasurer, who suggested that it was about lime that the town paid the county tax. The suggestion staggered Selectman Selleck who thoughtit had been paid. He turned to the report of the old board of Se- lectmen, which was published in the GAZETTE of September 5, and in the “abstract of disbursements Of the town for the year ending August 31 1895,” found charged, “county tax $3234.08,” as having been paid. Mr. Baker explained that this was the amount of tax in 1894 and had been paid, but the 1805 tax of something over 532,000 still remained unpaid. Afurther investigation was at once made, when it was ascertained that the column of ._ disbursements would not foot up cor- rectly in the published reports. There was nothing left for the Select- men to do but pay it which they did. They will now have another tax to pay in July, 1896, making two they will pay during their oneJerm of office. It is not understood why this county tax of $3,234.08 was placed in the ab- stract of disbursements for 1895. as the same amount appears in the Selectmen’s report for 1894. Of course the town loses nothing as there is no order in the hands of the town treasurer for the amount, but why it was placed there and why the column fails to foot up correctly is not under- stood. ' ‘ Roll Call. The annual Be-unioii and Boll-Call of the Nor-walk Congregational church will be held next Thursday evening. There will be a social meeting from 6 toB in the Chapel during which time supper will be served and Mr. A. 13. Hill, the church clerk, wilerecord the names of all present and those who send responses. At 8 o’clock there will be a service in the church consisting of responsive readings, hymns, anthems by the choir and addresses by Dr. Seward and the pastor. —Ex-Priest Slattery Wednesday. Father Slattery the famous converted priest, will make his first appearance here at the Norwalk Opera House, Wednesday night. He is said to be eloquent and witty, a handsome, fine- looking man and a charming and capti- vating speaker. In every city he has had immense audiences. He speaks extemporaneously, which makes him all the ,more interesting. See adver— tisement in to-day’s paper. 4>—————— Mud Dredger Burned. Saturday afternoon a fire broke out in A. J_.

' ' ' “ ~ the craft the fire burned very rapidly._ He'Ciaim’s to Have' Received avisit From Two Burglars, Early Sunday Mornino: Were They After the Two Quarts of O Sauerkraut He Took Home For Breakfast? , About 3 o’clock Sunday morning, the members of the police force then on duty, were startled by the sound of five shots, as if from a small cannon, the re~ verberations being heard for the space of several seconds. Investigation de- veloped the fact that they proceeded from a house on Cross street owned and occupied by Ben Bechtel, the barber, war veteran and fireman. Ben says that about 2:30 o’clock he heard a noise at both the front and back door of his house, and awoke his wife, and they both lost no time in getting“ on their clothes. He has two old army horse pistols which carry cartridges al- most as large as butternuts. One of these he handed to his wife with the instruction that she go to the front door and the first sign she saw of a man\ to take good aim and shoot. He then at the peril (2’) of his own life deliber- ately walked to the back door, which he claims he opened in time to see two men, one short and the other tall, seal - ing a fence that surrounds the yard ’of the B. C. Feeney residence on the same street. Ho blazed away five times at the fleeing burglars (?) but does not think that he hit either of them, as. any one of the bullets Would have dropped an elephant. ' Mr. Bechtel is at a loss to account for the visit other than that the men scented a quantity of saeurkraut that he took home Saturday evening. A friend of Ben inclines to the be- belief that the burglar was a muskrat which was captured by Constable Hunt this morning on Wall street. “Ben” told a GAZETTE reporter this morning, that the other night or about 2 o’clock in the morning as he was finding his way through a dark and lonesome place on Hoyt street an ugly visaged man called out to him “Halt 1” “And I halted,” continued Ben, “and asked him to step up and give the coun- tersign. At the same time I reached around to my hip pocket for a revolver. The fellow then scooted out of sight. It was lucky for me too,- for when I put my hand in my pocket all that I found was half a plug of tobaccO.” When the reporter suggested that perhaps all the fellow wanted was a chew of tobacco, Ben said, “l‘hat’s so, I wish now that I had called him back.” CW Mr. Franke Called Upon. G. A. Franke received a call from burglars early Saturday morning, but failed to advise the reporters of the fact no doubt under the mistaken apprehen- sion that the parties would call at his shop during the day and he could get revenge. His son-in-law, who lives in the same house on Camp street, heard some one tampering with the back door and aroused Mr. Franks, who took down his‘trusty rifle which was resting on the antlers of a deer which he shot in the Adirondacks, while taking a va- cation some years since, and stealthily crept to the back door and seeing no one in sight, put up the rifle and went back to bed. _ The next morning he made an inves- , tigation and found several foot-prints in the ground, one'of which he is under the impression was that of a child. Mr. Franks has the distinction of be- ing placed on the list of those visited by burglars and without any pecuniary loss. ——-——<—~ooo —————-——————- Placed on the Sidewalk. The household belongings Ofa woman named Walters, were taken out of her rooms in the Guarnerri buildifig on Water street. Siturday evening, through dispossess proceedings instituted by the owner of the building. The matter re- sulted in a war of words of an incrimi- nating nature. The articles were first put out on grounds at the rearii‘ithhe building, but at the request ofvthe com“- plainant they were later transferred to the sidewalk. ' Mrs. Walters then soughtthe aid of the Selectmen with the result that the furniture was taken back and the wo- man and her children were under shelter over Sunday and still retain. possession. , The affair was apparently brought about through a misunderstanding about the rent which Mrs. Waters claims is not due. ASide from all this it is evident that something ought to be done with her children and the sooner they are placed under. different environments the better it will be for them. Still a Tie. The second game of football to decide the inter-scholastic championship of Connecticut was played at Yale field Saturday by the Hartford-and Bridge- port teams.

WilllllHElii iioiu. The Barthel Farm , at Granbury Subsoiied With Attachments. Rich Returns Expected. For several months past the names of John Barthel and Louis Schweizer have appeared on the Town Court'docket, in " complaints and counter complaints, the‘ one against the other, as conditions brought» about- . ‘ An occasional variation in which wo- men were prominent addcd to the inn terest in the cases. 0n the Common Pleas court docket. were the cases of Schweizer vs. Barthel, and Barthel vs. Schweizer, the latter being the serious one of assault with intent to kill. 7 Schweizer was arrested by Constable Hunt on the latter complaint, and Bar- thel who seemed to be a badly used ~up man was attended by Dr. S. H. Hunt- ington, and it is thought that so thor- Ough was the latter’s attention the man’s life was saved, and as is alleged to the regret of Cranbury people who were of the opinion that death was thciuonly relief from his presence in that neighborhood; It is stated that his former attorney, Hon. Levi Warner, has a mortgage on the property for a considerable sum for legal services and cash advanced. and that there are several notes against Barthol due and payable at our local banks, aggregating perhaps $400. ‘A few days Since Barthel disappeared and it is On record at the Town Clerk’s office that he has disposed of his farm to one Charles O'Mea‘ra, who, it is» thought is acting in collusion With Bar. thel to escape the payment of claims held against the latter. This morning, despite the fact that the deed of transfer was recorded some three days ago, Deputy Sheriff Fred S. Lyon, Jr., served attachments on the property to cover a claim of $250 made by Dr. S. H. Huntington and also one for 8:200 made by Constable Thomas Hunt, and it is understood that. Mr. Warner is acting for both gentlemen. The case is full of complications, and promises to call for an “untangliug” such as Norwalk has not presented to the higher courts in years. 9» What the Reporter Saw. For two or three days last week, the remark was made that the propellers “Vulcan” and City of Norwalk were coming up the harbor as if weighted down with an unusual amount of freight. A GAZETTE representative had occasion to visit the Boston Store this morning, and the secret was apparent. He found several propeller loads of books and toys for the holidays being stored away in the upper stories of this mart for all things inaminate and which Mr, Mas- terson says will be displayed for a ver- dict from the public this week. And in the kitchen department there was everything from a 50 toasting fork to 9. $200 dinner set. 4. Has Resigned.l Mr. Frank Curran who for the past four years has given such eminent satis- faction as head of the carpet department of the Boston Store, will on Saturday next cease to remain there, he having accepted a situation withW. S: J. Sloan, the well known New York carpet deal- ers, a firm with which .in his younger days, he gained the knowledge Of the business of which he is now so thor- oughly conversant. Mr. Curran has won many friends socially and is at present president of the popular Peli- can club. The managers of the Boston Store will not, however, fail in having a competent man as his successor. . Fatal Search FOr a Burglar. NEW hummus, Nov. 18,—Robert B.
