SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1896.

 

Better Roadways.

One of the largest taxpayers of our
city favored the GAZETTE yesterday
with his views concerning the delay in
improving our deplorably conditioned
Wall street. Among other matters he
desired to be'informed upon, was why
the street railways were not permitted
to go ahead and pave the spaces be-
tween their tracks and the one. yard on
the outer sides of the tracks.

These questions have been submitted
by us to a member of the City Council
and by him we are informed that it is
the purpose of the Council to go ahead.
with the matter of repaying Wall street
in the locality complained of, just as
soon as the larger and more imminently
pressing Mill Hill improvement is con-
cluded. The Council recognize that it
should be done and must be done and
no unnecessary delay is intended.

The reason the street railway com.-
panies have not been authorized to re.
pave their section of the roadway is that
it is deemed far preferable to do the
ent1re work at one and the same time,
and not have three or four separate
tear-ups of the highway.

The'Ccuncil are satisfi°d that the
people really want this improvement
made and are entirely willing to meet
the necessary taxation for its accom-
plishment. TLe Council is composed
of liberal minded, public spirited and
intelligent business men and we are

confident that a “Tax Payer” and all

others svmpathizing with his views,can
confidently rely upon our city officials
doing their duty in this matter, with
good jiidgment and reasonable promp-
titude.

It will be a deeply interesting and
significant thing if the country is saved
this year by its imported citizens. The
fact is that many of them seem to
know more about financwl matters
than the natives. This is not perhaps
to be wondertd at, for they come
from countries that have long ago learn-
ed not to try any such experiment as

. that which the Boy Orator and his fol-

lowers are in favor of trying.

Mr. Steinway of New York announc-
ed the other day that the votes of 1,-
200,000 Germans would be given for
sound money. This is especially en-
couraging because many of these votes
are in States where they are needed.
The German vote of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota
and Wisconsin will be cast almost
solidly for the representatives of the
gold standard cause. It has been re-
peatedly true that as the German vote
has gone in these States so has the
election gone. The Germahs are thor-
oughly versed in the currency question,
and are not in sympathy with a cause
which would cut in two the value of
their accumulations, and partly nullify
their thrift, energy and economy.

DARIEN.

The selectmen will not call a town
meeting in response to Walter Bates’s
petition to reimburse him for cutting
down Seminary Hill. Selectman Wat-
erbury conferred with Town Counsel
Scofie 1d, who told him that a meeting
could not be legally called.

Town Counsel Scofield has served a
notice of protest on the Nor walk ‘Iram-
Way company, against the placing "of
the turnout in Railroad Place. The
selectmen ciaim that the switch is too
long, and that the company did not in-
tend to carry out its agreement regard-
ing the changmg of the curve around
Mntner& Grumman’s corner, further
west.

George E. Leonard of Noroton was
fined 31 and costs by Justice Schild-
knecht for amulting his wife. The
Leonards and some of their friends had
arranged tor a clambake, but by‘ the
time George put in an appearance the
bake Was over. He abused 1118 wife.
caught her by the throat and was about
to throw her into a pond, when Mrs
Leonard stuck him through the hand
with a hat-pin.

wrsrrosr.

Miss Edith M. Gray, of Brooklyn, is
visiting Miss Rose Beers, of Wright
street.

Yesterday occurred the death of the
17 months old son of E. S. Elmwood, of
Compo street, after an illness of only a
day or two.

 

on the trolley cars for several years has
decided to employ his vacation in boss-
ing a construction gang on the exten-
sion line.

The Rev. Mr. Rafter, of Darien, will
occupy the pulpit in Christ church to-
morrow. The Rev. Sylvester Clark, of
Bridgeport, will officiate during the
three weeks following.

At last ground has been broken for
the line to Compo Beach, and Editor
John Jones, of the Westporter, had the
honor of throwing out the first shovel
of dirt. A large force of men began
work yesterday and by Monday 300 will
be at work.

The ladies of the Congregational
church are preparing for an entertain-
ment which will cause a ripple of ex-
citement in this village. It is to be
called a “Congress of Nations” and all
the beauty in the village will be on ex-
hibition. The afl'air will take place on
August 25 and 26.

A party of young man are going

camping on Cockenoes Island, and if
they don’t enjoy life there will be some
reason why. The party will be com-
posed of Ambrose J ewett, Lewis
Wheeler, Herbert Williams, Charles
Snifien, Edward Gorham and Doc.
Nichols, with the irrepressible “Batty’,
for cook.
The entertainment for the benefit of
the Congregational church Thursday
evening was a great success and con-
siderable money was netted. Miss
Frances H. Seeley’s reciatations were
as usual very good and the Bridgeport
Mandolin club deserve praise. All it is
necessary to say is that they were up
to their usual standard. The absence
of Miss Blackman was the only feature
which any one could have desired
changed and the void was acceptably
filled by Miss Effie Albin, who, volun-
teered at the last moment.

Flight of a Peruvian Rebel Leader.

LONDON, July 18 ——A Lima (Peru) dis-
patch to The Times says that Seminar-lo,
the leader of the rebels at Yquitos, in the
Loreto district. has fled, leaving the treas-
ury empty. The rebellion in that district
is now ended.

 

To Resume Coal Mining.
SHENANDOAH, Pa., July 18,—It is an-
nounced that the Lehigh Valley colllerles
in this vicinity, ten in number, will re-
sume work on full time, beginning next
Monday. This affects about 5,000 hands.

Bicycle \Vorks Burned.
LONDON, July 18. -—The Humber bicycle
works at Coventry were burned today.
The loss was $500, 000.

Cannibalism in Aurora.

- Cannibalism has been surprisingly lit-
tle discussed in books of travel. We
are told that in such and such a. district
cannibals are to be found, but we hear
no details, neither how the flesh is pre-
pared, what joints are preferred, nor to
"what extent the practice is prevalent.
Capt. Hinde asserts that nearly all the
tribes in the Congo basin are or have
been cannibals, and that the practice is
on the increase, not merely for supersti-
tious reasons, but also for the provision
of food. There is a certain sturdy, fat
race in Africa, which has never been
famous for its prowess, but which is
made a. regular staple article of diet.
Whole cargoes are constantly carried
up the river and sold to the natives for
food. Inquiries for a. fresh supply of
natiVes are often accompanied by the
complaint that “meat is scarce just
now.”

A Tree That Rains.

In one of the Canary Islands there is
a tree of the laurel family that rains
down occasionally in the early evening
quite a. copious shower of water drops
from its tufted foliage. This water
often collects at the foot of the tree, and
forms a, kind of pond, from which the
inhabitants cf the neighborhood can
supply themselves with a drinking bev-
erage that is absolutely fresh and pure.
The water comes out of the tree itself
through innumerable little pores situat-
ed at the margin of the leaves.
