Buy at Home.
During the past year Norwalk has
been infested with manufacturers sales,
fire sales, bankrupt sales, etc., and
after the departure of these jack-O-
lanternjconcernsnvhich is usuallyin the
night,s
ported that they purchased goods of
them 11111 were swindled. Of course
there was no redress as the managers
of the sale had departed to other fields.
'1‘“he JAZEI'TE would caution the peo-
ple of Norwalk against buying at these
sales and advise them to buy of our
own home merchants who are known
to all and are men or" standing in the
community, who pay taxes and help our

Get an Expert.
It clearly is not fair, to cast imputa-
tion, either upon the honesty or busi-
ness accuracy of our old board of
Selectmen, every time some item, not
readily explainablc is discovered in
their accounts. The square and proper
thing to do is to employ an expert ac—
‘countant, the Same as any bank or
business 'firm would do and haves him
go over the entire receipts and dis-
bursements Of the old board and if any.
errors are found, showing the town to
be out and injured, the GAZETTE is as-
sured that all such deficiencies will be
promptly made good.
Thus far, from the casual and super—
ficial examination of the old board’s
books, the accounts do appear to be
badly but there does not
seem to be any indications of either in-
tentional or accidental overdrafts upon
The most accurate
mixed up,
the town’s funds.
and painstaking book-keepers, frequent-
ly make errors in their accounts, and
the fact is notorious that neither the
lepublicans or Democrats Of Norwalk,
have been guilty of nominating candi-
dates for Selectmen, with more than
ordinary capabilities as financiers or
accountants.
In all fairness to the old board, an
expert should be employed to thorough-
ly examine their books and report on
the finding. The cost will be small and
the taxopaying public have a right to
know the truth or falsity Of the idle and
daily growing rumors that fill the air
and the old board deserve the vindica-
tion, if found innocent of error, or the
chance they professedly crave, Of mak-
ing good any discrepancies that might
be found to exist.
Had not the superservicable zeal of
' B’r. Maples, led to an abandonment of
the town’s vote last year, to have just
this thing done, there would have been
no cause or opportunity for the present
feeling of suspicion and distrust as. to
the Selectmen’s raccounts that now
'spreads all the town.

How to Evade Mill Hill.
M11. EDITOR :——It seems tO me that the
GAZETTE has hit the most feasible plan
for the Norwalk Street Railway to get
up to the Church Green grade. An
iron trestle from a point at or near Mil-
ler’s Blacksmith shop on Knight street.
11p to Lewis street, would not cost as
much as to properly widen Mill Hill
and its approaches, so as to render it
safe for another trolley track to be
placed on that line of street. Then too,
as the GAZETTE suggests, a line of shops
or tenements could be built underneath
this trestle so as to utilize the ground l
sp1ces beneath. Why not adopt this
better pl1u. Tax PAran.

An Old Rate Book.
This morning, business being rather
dull at the Selectmen’s Oflico, Selectman
Selleck hunted out an old rate book, of
the vintage of 1831. From it a GAZETTE
reporter gleaned the facts that the poll
tax for each individual was 321), and
thatthcre was a “faculty tax” varying
according to the ability of the man.
For instance some were taxed 325,
others 315 and yet others 310. ' Au at-
torney was taxed 340,11nd printers, tail-

Attempted Burglary.
The residence of Butcher Fred Smith
on Main street, was burglarized last
night. The first intimation that Mr.
Smith had of their call was this morn-
ing, when he found a side door open.
A close investigation revealed the fact
that the key had been turned from the
outside with a pair of nippers. He
thinks that the burglars were frighten-
ed away by the barking of a small dog
which was in the next room to the one
vimted. The thieves secured no boot3v

ln Memoriam.
Edward Betta St. John who died on
Sunday last at his Hudson Highland
home would have been ninety-fouryears
Old had he lived until this day two
weeks. He was one of Norwalk’s re-
markable sons, There are few now
living who recall the day when Wm.
Multby Betts,
kept the’post office in the Betts build-
ing the site, in 1895, of Holmes’ Main
street business house, and who was
fortunate in having the young and en~
terprising Edward B. St. John for his
clerk. Said youth when a lad knew
Nor walk very thoroughly and his remi-
niscences even to Within the last year
or so have been valuable. He was a
lineal descendant through Moses St.
John and Moses Belts, of Matthias St.
John and Thomas Betts the Norwalk
settlers. Moses St. John’s mother was
of Platt-Comstock stock and Moses.
Betts’ mother of Woodbury Lambert
blood. Thesc‘weic strong New Eng-
land alliances. Norwalk was a too
circumscribed field for the young postal
clerk’s ambition and he soon planted
himself elsewhere. He was a banker
and with such men as Phillip Cannon
and William Wright of Newark, 11. pro-
jector of the Hudson River Peoples’
line of steamers, on which line his
brother, Capt. Alanson P. St. John,
was one of the oldest and most popular
commanders. He was widely known
and a power in the business world. He
belonged to one of Norwalk’s old and
exoelle’nt :households, the sensibly
brought up members of which have
played practical parts in life and been
us‘eful in their day and generation.
His noble sister Caroline, the late Mrs.
Henry Chichester, preceded him hence
by only». few months. Two sisters,
Mrs L. M. Stevens and Mrs. Gould‘D.
Jennings, survive and it is to be hoped
will fpr years to come, continue to
represent this worthy hearthstone of
days agone. Mr. St. John was laid
to rest not far from the West Point
heights that giandly sentinel the river
so dear to the two brothers, Edward B.
and Alauson P. St. John, of this ancient

lHE FAIR GLOSES.
The Annual FElll1 0T St. Mary’s
CllUl’Cll a Flattering SUCCESS.
Lasted for Ten Nights.
Last night was the closing one of the
annual fair Of St. Mary’s church, at the
Opera House, and this morning men
were busily engaged in tearing down
the beautiful decorations put up by the
managers of the Boston Store.
The fair lasted for ten nights and the
young lady canvassers did some very
active and remunerative work for the
society. The hall has been comfortably
filled every night, and last night it was
crowded, a large number being attract-
ed thereto hear the result of the draw-
ings for prizes.
A pleasing feature each night has
been the stage entertainments which
were changed nightly. None was given
last evening, those present seeming to
be content With the prize announce-
ments, each looking disappOinted or
pleased as the lucky numbers were
called Off. During the fair 2,509 admis-
sion tickets were sold.
It it thought that the fair Will not
something own 31, 000, a splendid show-
ing when it is taken into consideration

Obituary.
DAVID ll. SELLECK.
Yesterday, at his home in South Nor-
walk, David R. Selleck entered into his
eternal rest, in the seventy-fourth year
of his ago, His funeral will take place
on Friday afternoon. He was born in
West Norwalk where much Of his early
life was spent. He was always an ar-
dent sympathizer and worker in every
field of reform, and won the respect of
all for the always frank and Open ex-
pression of his earnest and sincere con-
victions. There was a feature of pecu-
liarly tender and touching pathos in
the fact that his invalid wife was in a
New York Hospital suffering from an
Operation upon her eyes and could not
be removed, at the time of his passing
away. For a period of fully fifty years,
he had been a more or less constant
news contributor to the columns of the
GAZETTE. He. may not be classed
among the renowned of earth, but in
his departure, how much greater the
solace, to know that he was always a
true and earnest worker for what he
believed to be the right; that he was a
steadfast friend and upright man. We
join with his many, many friends, in
bidding him a sorrowful fareivell and in
grieving that we can never again clasp
his kindly and honest hand.

EX—PRIESI‘ SLATTE RY’S RECORD
SILENCED FOR DBUNKENNESS AND KICK-

The following is the record of Jo-
seph Slattery, the “ex-priest,” who was
the cause the riot in Savannah, Ga.,
last week:
In 1887 it was rumored that a Catho-
lic priest was a student in the TheolOg-
ical Seminary in Colgate University. .11.

Chuich by the Rev. Edward Braislin,
of Brooklyn, who had sent him to Col-
gate at the expense Of the Baptist Edu-
cational Society. A paper published at
the university stated that Slattery had
been educated at Maynooth, and be-
Ionged to the diocese of Dublin, Ire-

DUBLIN, May 22, 1889.
“My" DEAR FATHER MCDONNELL:
"You or any other person, eccles-
iastic or lay man, will be perfectly safe
in challenging inquiry as to the ante.
cedents of unfortunate Father Slattery.
In Cardinal McCabc’s time he brok ke
down very badly from intemperance.
About a fortnight before the Cardinal’s
death he received an appointment, on
condition of binding himself in a most
stringent way to the total abstinence
pledge. There was a distinct written
intimation—the original of which I
hold—that this was to be ‘the last
chancefl
“Well, he broke down again.
“I thought it right, even after all this
to give him one chance more—of course
with the intimation that it would be the
last, so far as I was concerned.
“He broke down again, and I was 11n-
ililble to have anything more to do with
1m.
“I may add that he was not educated
in May nokcth.

This letter was sent to Dr. Dodge,
president of Colgate, by Father Mc-
Donnell, and Slattery was expelled. He
then tried to gain a. foothold among
the Baptist brethcrn Of Philadelphia
but was expelled from the Philadelphia
conference. Later on there was arrest-
ed in Boston 11 Rev. Mr. Slattery for
selling immoral and obscene literature
on the street; an account of his arrest
was published inthe New York Sun at
the time—Adv.
Big Blaze in Hartford.
At one O’clock this morning the big
Hartford store of the Way Hardware
Company at 344 Main street, was dis-
covered to be on fire in its upper story.
Despite the desperate efforts of the fire-
men, the entire establishment was burn-
ed out. One year and seven months
ago, a similiar fire destroyed the same
establishments.
Mi'. Robert F. Way is Treasurer of
the Co. and well known here in Nor-
walk, his w1fe being the daughter of
Mrs. John Camp and grand daughter of
Mr. Noah Wood. The loss is complete
and estimated at 320,000, largely cover-
ed by insurance. The origin of the
fire is a mystery, but Mr. .Way thinks
it was caused by some one Of ahalf
dozen electric Wires that ran into the
building.

Has Brought Suit.
Louis McAdam, employed as a line-
man by the N. & S. N. Electric Light
company, has brought suit against the
New Britain Street Railway Com-
pany to recover 310,000 damages.
McAdam was engaged 'at.work on an
electric light pole in the city, and, as
itis alleged, fell from the top of the
same and broke both his legs, all
owing to negligence on the part of the
company. He is being helped in the
suit the association of linemen of
which he is a member.
A Fake.
A report gained some credence this
morning, that a Tramway car had been
“held up”on East avenue,a.t a late hour
last night by three tramps, who robbed
the motorman, conductor and three
pESsengers, of their watches and money.
The story was manufactured out of
whole cloth, and there was not the
slightest foundation for it. The party
who started the story ought to be held
up by his thumbs, for a. couple of hours.‘
