Harmful Friendship.
For reasons too well known to re.
quire enumeration no political; party
in the United States can afi'ord to be
the objectof adulation in the English
newspapers. The American people be-
lieve that a commercial policy which is
landed in England is not a policy which
merits their support; that trade condi-
tions created by our legislation, which
boom British industries, {must ineviti-
bly be injurious to our town industrial
interests. Experience, a teacher whose
lessons are more valuable than all the
deductions of the school men from ab-
stract theories, has taught the people
of the United States that this country
is most prosperous when their wants
are chiefly supplied by American labor.
It is, therefore, unfortunate for any
party appealing for support to the voters
of the United States to have English
newspaper-s commending. it to the
British people.
It almost invariably happens that the
English admirers of the Democratic
party manifest their preference for that
organization at such times and'in such
ways as to do their favorite the great-
est harm. They did so during the Con-
gressronul campaign of 1894, contribut-
ing to the emphasis of the verdict of
condemnation which the country pro-
nounced against the Democracy. Just
now, when the assembling of a new
Congress intensifies interest in partisan
politics and calls attention to party
iolicies, The Speaker, a Gladstonian
organ, makes these interesting deliver-
anccs : ,
“We in England naturally sympathize
with the Democratic party as a whole;
chiefly because it is the least protec-
tionist of the partiégw we cannot dos-
cribe any large part of. it as really in
favor of- free trade—and partly because
it seems, in spite of the silver men,
least tainted on the whole with unsound
finance. Besides, the jingoism now
predominant in Americafirwhich is not
new—born, but derives a new signifi-
cance from the fact that America has
now areal navy—is, in the main, Re-
publican in its associations.”
It is bad for a statesman or for 5a
party in the United States to have his
or its popularity increase 'in the ratio
of the square Of his or its distance from
home. It is particularly bad when the
culmination of popularity occurs in a
country whose purposes and interests
are‘in conflict with those of the United
Slazes. But the Speaker’s article was
published before the President’s mes-
sage was made public. It is possible
that, had the President’s views on the
Venezuela dispute been
know to the editor of that journal he
might have been less positive in his
remarks in “jingoism.’ It is just pos-
sible that the Speaker, and the press,
government, and people of England
may eventually find out that what they.
call 'jingoism?’ is not the exclusive
boundnr y
7
property of any one in this country,
but the general American sentiment;
that it means nothing more or less than.
the firm determination of the American
people to maintain their traditional
policy. I
As to The Speaker’s remark that the
Democratic party is, “in spite of the
silver men, less tainted on‘the whole
with unsound finance,” we might refer
it to “the silver men” for an answer.
They would say, as they have been say-
ing for years, that the President is an
exponent of ltepubiic-ln views as to
finance. They would cite various test
votes in Congress on the silverquestion
to show the relative positions of the two
'parties on that subject. They would
also assert that 61) of the 104 Demo-
cratic members of the House of Repre-
sentatives of the present Congress are
free silver men. I ' '

A Sure Relief from Choklnsr.
The Mayor of Fredericksburg, writes
to the Washington Post as follows :
Editor Post. Iread in The Post of
December 3 that a citizen of Washing—
ton while on a visit to his son in' Vir-
ginia was choked to death by a bone in
his throat after every effort was made
to remove the same, but without suc-
cess. Whenever I read of such cases,
in any paper, I always endeavor to
send the same paper a sure and certain
relief for choking, that has never yet
failed. The remedy is simply this: To
immediately reverse the upright posi‘
tion of the body with head down and
with body supported by the hands and
feet elevated, when instant relief will
be obtained and the obstruction will
fall from the menth. A child can be
seized by the legs, and head turned
down, and relief will be instantaneous.
Several lives have been saved in this
community by this treatment, and I
have several grateful letters from other
States, advising. me of its success when
death seemed 'inevitable. Would be
pleased to hear from any parties who
may have occasion to try it, and have
no doubt but they will send a favorable
report, as all others have done so far. ‘

Daniel Neylan, who was a few weeks
since taken to the Town Farm, died at
that place on Saturday, aged about 87
years. “Dan’” was well-known about
town and had few enemies and many
friends. He had the misfortune to
lose his parents some years ago since
which time he had become careless as
to his health also addicted to drink.
He was a free~hearted fellow, always
willing to do anyone a favor. Poor
Dan is dead, but it will be many a day
before he is forgotten. His funeral
was attended from St. Mary’s church
this morning.

The largest fire that ever visited
Ridgefield started at 9:30 o’clock last
night and soon assumed the propor-
tions of a conflagation which threaten-
ed to consume the entire business por-
tion Of the town. '
The fire originated in the store occu-
pied by Bedient 1&3 Mead in G. S. Gage‘s
block on Main street and soon spread
to the adjoining buildings and nothing
could be done to stop it.
Adjacent to the Gage block was a
small wooden building occupied by the
Western Union Telegraph 00., the
grocery store of Bnrhitt A: Vlilden, the
residence of Samuel Ruatwin and
another small wooden building. All
these were destroyed.
On Bailey avenue, in the rear of the
Gage block, was the plumbing shop of
Peter McGlynn and a row of new wood-
en buildings, which also went up in
smoke, 0n the opposite corner of
Main street and Bailey avenue was the
Town Hall, The flames leaped across
the street and licked it up bodily. It
disappeared in a towering sheetof flame.
Adjacent to it was Scott’s big new livery
stable, which caught fire but wasquick-
ly extinguished and the building saved
by the volunteer fire fighters, as was
Whitlock’s stable.
The barber shops of E._ S. Reynolds
and Conrad Rocklyn were destroyed,
also the store of tailor L. J:.fi'ee.
Opposite the Town Hall was a resi-
dence and two stores, those Of Mr.
.Gilbert, which contained the Southern
New England Telephone exchange, and
Hibbard & Sherwood, fish dealers.
These were burned to the ground.
Danbury was called upon for assist-
once, and a steamer with its company
and 1,000 feet ‘Of hose, under the di-
rection of Chief Lounsbury, Was sent
to the scene by special train.
Dynamite was used to blow up sev-
eral buildings in order to stop the con-
flagration, and at 2:30 o’clock this
morning the fire was under control.
The loss all told is estimated at $75,000,
The busines centre of the town lies
in ruins. The block in which Barhite
(is Valden’s grocery store, the Western
Union Telegraph oflice, the general
store of Bedient & Mead, the Town
Hall, the Masonic building, which is
the office Of. the Ridgefield Press, a bar-
ber shop, Gilbert’s store in which is the
office of the Southern New England
Telephone Co. and Scott’s building in
which the Probate office and Bissell’s
drug store, with residence overhead,
were completely destroyed. The Epis-
copal church on the opposite side of
the street caught, but the flames were
extinguished. Scott’s and Whitlock’s
livery stables were both in danger but
were saved by the heroic work of the
volunteer firemen. '
All communications with the village
by telegraph iscut off to-day.
The full amount of insurance on the
burned buildings is not as yet known,
but 0. E. Wilson had $2,000 on the Bar-
hite it: Nalden store and $2,000 Bedient
8; Mead’s. '
Sound Beach Church Burned.
The First Congregational Church at
Sound Beach was destroyed by fire Sal;-
urday night. It 'was a white frame
building of the style of country church-
es built throughout New England fifty
of sixty years ago and was situated on’
a crossroad leading from the post road
between Stamford and Greenwich.
There was no other building near it.
The sexton built the fires in the furnace
Saturday evening, and when they were
well started he left for home. An hour
or two afterward the edifice was in
flames. ,
The society intended to abandon the
old church as soon as a stone structure,
which‘is nearly completed, is finished.
The burned church was insured.
Annual Electlon.
The annual election of the chief Offi-
cers of the fire department will take
place on Monday evening, December
23d. It is the general opinion that the
department will act wisely in the re-
turning to office of the present chief
and his able corps of assistants. Nor-
walk has a chief of its fire department
second to none in the State. Years of
actual servrce has proven this fact.

Delay Savedtbe Boston Eitprass.
An engine on the New York, New
. Haven & Hartford Railroad, jumped
the track near the foot of East One
Hundred and Thirty~second street,
shortly after 2 o’clock yesterday morn-
ing and instantly killed three employee
of the road and injured four others.
The killed are engineer Thomas Fitz-
gerald, brakeman Frederick Maples,
brakeman Thomas Neeley, and the in-
jured, fireman William McKeon, coné
ductor Thomos Baunon and brakemen
Bernard Conley and John Toth.
Had the accident occurred three min-
utes earlier an express train filled with
passengers would have crashed into
the wreck, in which case the loss of life
would undoubtedly been very large.
When assistance arrived the locomo
t-ive was resting on its right side, partly
across the rails of the second track.
Portions of the bodies of Fitzgerald,
Neeley and Maples could be seen pro-
truding from under the rear end of the
boiler. They were probably dead then,
and the escaping steam was pouring
over their bodies. If they were not
instantiy killed when the engine toppled
over they would have been- quickly
scalded to death.
Fireman McKeon, who had worked
with the dead engineer for some
months, tried unavailingly to shut off
steam; He was suffering from a sprain-
ed arm and was badly scalded, yet he
made hereic efi‘Olts to rescue his un-
fortunate companions. His injuries
were dressed by the ambulance sur-
geons." '
Conductor Bannon was unconscious
when the surgeons reached the scene.
He had been sitting with the firemen
and Brakeman Conley and Toth, on the
opposite side of the cab, when the loco-
motive left the track. They were all
thrown over the boiler and landed
among the debris of the cab. Each of
the men was badly shaken up and all
were more or less scolded by escaping
steam.
Baunon’s head came in contact with
the ties of the south-bound track, and
he lay there as if dead, while the other
men were endaavoring to rescue the
three men pinned down by the huge
boiler of the locomotive.
Word had been sent to the round-
house, half a mile away, and a handout
was run down containing jacks and
other appliances. It was nearly an hour
after the crash occurred before the en-
gine was raised sufficiently to allow the
dead bodies to be drawn out.
Fitzzerald’s body was horribly mutil-
ated fromthe chest down. The rear
end of the boiler had rested directly
across the upperpart of his abdomen,
crushing him, with the exception of his
head and shoulders and right arm, into
an almost unrecognizable mass. His
right hand tightly clutched the handle
of the throttle. He had been sitting on
the right side of the cab, with Neely
and Maples, and the body of each was
horribly crushed and scalded.
It was by the meerest chance that the
express train, filled with passengers
from Boston, got over the scene before
the wreck occurred.
Grand Central Station at 2:05 a. m‘. and
was behind time.
Engineer Filderald had been in the
employ of the road a number of years.
He leaves a wife and two children.
Mrs. Fitzgerald is in a delicate condi-
tion, and the news of her husband's
death was kept from her as long as pos-
sible. On being informed of it, the in-
formation almost proved fatal. Her
condition is now said to be critical.

Who Sells quuor to Minors?
Last Saturday evening the attention
of Officers Valiant and Hunt was at-
tracted to unseemly and violent lan
guage in the saloon conducted by Mr.
McMullen, on Franklin avenue.
As preset-vers Of the peace and with
out the right to enter the store for the
forcible arrest at the time of any one
unless murder was being committed or
called upon by the owner, they passed
by and walked around the block and
back on to Belden avenue, where
they opportunely found two young men,
one with his coat off engaged in a fisti-
cufi' battle.
Both young men were placed under
arrest and taken to the station house,
where they were later released under
satisfactory ball.
This morning the;r gays their names
to the court as James Delaney and
James Cook, 0,11,dl'cfrl)acilvr.lly 19 years.
They pleaded guilty to the charge of
intoxication and the‘Judge lined each
of them $5 and suspended execuzion of
sentence.
On Saturday, Chef szlley placed
under arrest a very' mucu befuddled
man, and placed him out If any danger
of becoming more bmud-iml In the
station house. ,«
This morning he also appearcl before
Judge Hubbell. Just but no being in—
carcerated he saw iElls’ celebrated pie
wagon pass by and he gave his name as
James Ells. The Judge evidently be-
lieved that he was lying as to his iden-.
tity and fined him $10, in default of
which he was added to the Norwalk
quota of prrisoners'at the Bridgeport
jail. 7__”____‘
Yesterday morning, for some cause
as yet not explained, an individual
named Cornelius Cook was found under
the influence of intoxrcants by Chief
Bradley, on Wall street.
If there if any one thing that Chief
Bradley abhors is the seeing of a man
intoxicated on our public streets of a
Sunday, and he lost no time in placing
Mr. Cook under arrest.
Mr. Cooke naturally objected, but to
no use, as the Chief gave him to under-
stand, and after a few impotent strug-
gles on the part cf Cooke he was landed
in the station-house.
He, too, was brought before Judge
Hubbcll this morning, and was fined
$15, which amount was paid and he was
at liberty to go to work, which he
sensibly did.
