Orlando, the Only Boy Among the Stickies
Quadruplets, Died Yesterday Morning.
_ Orlando, the third of the Stickles
quadruplets, and the only boy of the
number, died at~ the Bridgeport Gen-
eral Hospital atmz30 o’clock yesterday
morning. His death had been expected
momentarily since Friday noon, but
the child displayed amazing vitality.
Orlando was a few hours over amonth
old, the children having been born on
August 27, a month ago yesterday.
Elizabeth, the sole remaining one of
the quartette, is enjoying good health,
and will probably survive, at least un-
til the cholera infantum and teething
period, which comes to infants of a
slightly older age.
O
The No License Movement.
The clergy at the several chrvches in
this city? last night-talked on‘ the “no
license” q‘uestibn. Rev. Mr. Robbins
at theBaptist chiiroh spoke on the sub-
ject in no uncertain‘tone of voice. Rev.
Dr. ,Beard. at. the Congregational
church, spoke on the subject in an elo-
quent manner, and Rev..Mr. Wyatt at
the Methodist chujehleft nothing un-
said that might be in the cause of tem-
perance. The “no license” question
was ably presented, by, all three of
the reverends and will doubtless be
conducive to much good in the cause of
' temperance.
O.

In the Roman Catholic churches
Sunday the bishop’s circular reciting

There was a bad wreck on the Berk-
shire division Saturday morning by a
north bound freight. A car left the
track at North Kent and five others
followed. All cars were more or less
wrecked but no one was injured. It .
was several hours before a wrecking
train could clear the line.

rode in the professional races at Plain-
field, N. J ., Saturday. He finished

caught in his front wheel and tore out
five spokes, so that he was forced to
stop. _
‘Friday night pirates boarded a South
Norwalk oyster boat and stole three
dredges and two pairs of boots. A small
skifi‘ was also stolen one night during
last week, but was found at the break-
water where the pirates had abandoned
it. TheSouth Norwalk boat looted is
owned by Mortimer Husted and a man
named Bradley.—Bridgeport Telegram.
Candidate Bryan will be in this city
this afternoon for the second time
within a week, but his stay will be con-
. fined to the regular stopping time of
the 3:15 west-bound express, on which
he will pass through on his way to New
eJerQy, when he is scheduled to mate
three speeches toanight. Although Mr.
Bryan will not leave the train here it
is more than probable that a crowd will
be at the station to see him and call for
a speech. If he accedes to the request,
the speech will be a very brief one, as
he train makes but a short stop.
John Seymour, Eugene O’Connor,
Herbert Butterly and Clifford Judson,
all about 16 years of age, conceived the
idea of going west to fight Indians.
Secret meetings were held, pietcils were
cleaned and oiled and the necessary
money to defray expenses was secured
and preparations were made to depart
on Saturday last. Unfortunately for
them their plans were discovered and
the fathers of the youngsters notified.
It is unnecessary to state that after a
parential interview the trip has been in-
definitely postponed.
The sloop Hattie Lnlu, of this city,
Captain George Byxbee, engaged in
the oyster business ofi' Bridgeport, yes-
terday took out a fishing party from
that place. Last evening when the
boat came in, as James Byxbee. the
Captain’s son, was letting the heavy
anchor go, his arm and leg were caught
in the chain and he was nearly dragged
overboard. He was thrown down on
the deck and received a severe lacera-
tion of both members before he could
free himself. Although suffering he re-
fused to go ashore, so another member
of the crew went to the Emergency
HOSpital last night for bandages to
bind up James’ wounds.
Our South Norwalk citizens seem to
be thoroughly in earnest in their de-
termination to have the First Select-
man at this end of town, at the coming
election. They claim it has been re-
peatedly promised them and that there
is no good reason why this honor should
not alternate between the two sections.
If it is denied them this year, it is p301
posed to place Mr. I‘homes’ name on
both tickets and thus capture the prize
by a full compliance of Section '48 of
the Statutes, which reads as follows:
“Of persons elected Selectmen of any
town, the person first named on a plu-
rality of the ballots cast for them or
any of them shall be First Selectman,
and in the absence of a special appoint-
ment, shall been: ofiicio the agent of
such town.”
An oysterman from South Norwalk
recently had three dredgcs taken from
him in the above place. He recognized
them on a boat'owned by a man named
Avres from the above place now work-
ing off this harbor. Consulting Supt.
Birmingham in the matter the loser of
the dredges was told to go aboard the
craft and get hisgoods if he could
recognize them. He did so. This
brought Ayres to the police station
withabig bluster to know by what
authority the dredges had been re-
claimed. The superintendent said he
had something to do with the authority
part of it whereupon Ayres went away .
and has made no further attempt to
get back the articles.—Bridgepo rt Tele-

.' The world seems to be coming to the
:onclusion that Abraham ‘Lincoln was
not only one of its wisest men, but that
.1e was also one of its greatest orators.
This was hardly thought of in his life-
:ime. Men felt his power when he
«poke to them, without thinking how
but power was exercised. His direct-
ness and simplicity were like . those of
great orators among the Greeks, but it
was foreign to the traditions of a race
which had its Burke on one side of the
Atlantic and its Everett on the other.
The flowers of rhetoric are as conspicu-
ous by their absence from the speeches
)f Lincoln as from those of Demos-
:henes.. .. If he allowed himself some-
times. a grotesque expression which
wouldhave shocked Greek notions of
prepriety, he only displayed in that way.
the homely genius of a race which long.
ago violated .- critical sensibilities with.
the mingled tragedy and comedy of a
Shakespeare. The. particular instance
of this tendency in- him which is often-
est mentioned occurred in his address to i
the Indiana L 'slature, when he was
on his way to ashington to take his
place as President. “In their view,”
he said, referring to the advocates of
secession, “the Union, as a. family re—
lation, would seem to be no regular
marriage, but a sort of free-love ar-
rangement, to be maintained only on
passional attraction.” Demosthenes
would hardly have used such a compar-
ison, but, on the other hand, neither he
nor any other could have found words
to express the broad political philosoo
phy and the tender pathos of the Get-
tysburg speech. .
Far back in 1837, in an address to a
group of young men in Springfield, 111..
he expressed the conviction that the
nation could only be endangered from
within. “All the armies of Europe,
Asia and Africa combined.” he ex-
claimed, with a touch of that grotesque
exaggeration characteristic of the
whole race to which he belonged, as
well as of himself, “with all the treas-
ure of the earth (our own excepted) in
their military chest, with a Bonaparte
for a commander. could not, by force,
take a drink from the Ohio, or make a
track on the Blue Ridge, in a. trial of a
thousand years.” The great danger
within, as he then saw it, was the dis-
regard for law, “the growing disposi-
tion to substitute wild and furious pas-
sions in lieu of the sober judgment of
courts; and the worse than savage mobs
for the executive ministers of justice.”
This disposition has notflbeen eradicated
to this day. " J;
Lincoln never swerved afterward"
from his primary principle. When the
resentment, he disproved the charges of
his political adversaries by insisting
that-it-‘must be obeyed, but that public
sentiment must be so directed that. the‘
Supreme Court of the United States
would be forced to ‘ undo "its own in-
iquity. Laws must be obeyed, but if
laws were unchangeable, then the coun-
try ceased to be free. In spite of every
effort to misrepresent Lincoln’s attitude.
he made it plain that he was no revo-
lutionist, even from the point of view
of the Northern advocates of slavery,
and yet he made it equally clear that
his determination to labor against the
monstrous injustice expressed in Dred
Scott decisions and Fugitive Slave laws.
But even after the immortal speech in
which he declared that the Union
could not exist half slave and half free,
he would still have been guilty of no in-
consistency if the slave power had been
victorious and he had obeyed its
laws.
The minute tactical skill which he
had displayed in his controversy with
Judge Douglas, while it left the latter
would in certain contingencies break
the very laws and decisions which he
proclaimed, made no change in Lin-
coln’s own relation to the law. He
wouldn’t violate any law, not even the
Dred Scott decision; but he would strive
to reverse it. and to reverse it ' peace-
ably. The ablest exponent of the new
theory that this was a white man’s gov-
ernment—a theory which Lincoln de-
clared had only been in existence about
five years at the time of the great de-
bate in Illinois—was. impaled on the
horns of a dilemma which he had him-
self created. It required only Lin-
coln’s sagacity to discover it, and his‘
acuteness to state it. In all the annals
of oratory there is nowhere a more
complete logical defeat than that suf-
fered by Douglas when he seemed all
but victorious in National as 'well as-
State politics.——New York Tribune.
