The Intense He .‘t Induces the Senate to Hurry Forward the Tariff Bill. ' GAZETTE BUREAU, ,l 1235 NEW YORK AVENUE WASHINGTON June 27 I The dissolving heat of Thursday and Friday last- did more seemingly than all things else in causing the Senate to hurry forward the consideration of the vast number of items in the Tariff bill. o o o The tax on Hides, Tobacco, Silk’s, etc. which has so bothered and delayed the Tariff Committee have been happi- ly compromised between the antagonis- tic interests and for the present week, smoother sailing up to the final enact- ment of the bill is confidently hoped for. o o o The Treasury Department within the last week has received a consider- able number of requests for small notes in unusually large quantities. This in— quiry was entirely unexpected and is confidently regarded by Treasury Of ficials as an indication- of improving business conditions. 0 O o ' Gen. Woodford is still here studying up his Spanish lessons. ' o o o The republican tariff bill managers are very hopeful of being able to com- plete the consideration of the tariff bill in the Senate by next Wednesday night, a result which would bring the end in the Senate within the present month. The democratic leaders do not con- cede the possibility of so early a con; clusion. They generally place it a week further on, or about the 7th or 8th of July. ' The committee has practically de- cided to abandon the proposed tax on bank checks, which at one time was so favorably considered, and also the in- crease of 44 cents a barrel in the beer tax and the change in the tobacco tax. 0 O 0 One of the knotty problems in the tariff bill yet to be settled is what rate of duty shall be placed on coal. Sena- tor Elkins and Senator Wellington, who represent States in which this in- terest is an important one are unwill- ing that the rate shall be under 60 cents a ton, and they are really hopeful that before the matter is finally settled they will be able to force a Compromise at 67 cents. The House rate is 75 cents, or the same which prevailed prior to the passage of the Wilson bill, when it was lowered to 40 cents a ton, after a prolonged struggle in favor of free coal. 0 o 0 Senator Pettigrew, while making a very impassioned reply to our Mr. Platt Saturday afternoon, who had accused him of being a protectionist in spots was suddenly stricken with paralysis- of his vocal chords, to the great alarm of the Senate. He is now said to be improving. o o o For many years past Crofut & Knapp of South Norwalk have furnished a hat to each recurring President. The fur hat trade is now at so ow an ebb in Norwalk that Mayor Wheeler has sent President McKinley and Secretary Porter beautiful creations of his Nor- walk Straw Hat factory. They are very becoming and highly prized by the wearers and are superb specimens of Mayor Wheeler’s summer output. 0 o 0 Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Croffut leave to- morrow for California, Alaska and British Columbia. 0 o 0 ~ George F. Rockwell of Meriden is here. ‘ ‘ ‘vr Engaged for the Season. The Big Four quartette, Messrs.

The large grey horse stolen from milkman Jerome S. Gainer’s barn last Thursday night, as published exclu- sively in the GAZETTE, was found on the premises of Charles E. ‘Waterbury, in Riverbank, Saturday night. On Saturday Mr. Gainer was given a tip by the Stamford ‘police that the horse was at Waterbnry’s and he im— mediately drove to that place, where he found the animal. There were no men folks to be seen about the premises and the women in- formed Mr. Gainer that the horse was found standing outside the gate early Friday morning. Mr. Gainer was also advised that the men folks were away and would surely return at 6 o’clock, but notwithstanding he waited until nearly 9 O’clock no one appeared, and he left with the horse although the wo- men objected to his taking the animal away. Mr. Gainer failed to discover who took the horse from his barn, nor could he ascertain who Waterbury was. He was informed that a party by the same name served four years in jail for kid- napping a child,but was unable to learn whether it was the same party. -——<o.o>-———— THINK HIM INNOCENT. Sydney’s Friends Do Not Believe That He Fired the Shot at Long. The impression is general in Green- wich that Sydney, who is now in Bridge- port jail, having been arrested on sus- picion of having fired the fatal shot at Eddie Long, is innocent. Since his in- carceration he has' made a statement somewhat different from the story he told before the Coroner, but he has made no confession. When he gave his evidence to Coroner Doton he said that he and Lindsley were in the road several yards away when the strange man fired the fatal shot. but now he says he was not thirty feet away. The woman with whom Sydney boarded says that he was a very peaceable man and shenever knew him to have or carrya revolver. The theory Of the officers now is that there were three fights near the scene of the shooting that Saturday night, and that Sydney and LOng had handled the strange man very severely. The cries and calls for help which people in the neighborhood heard in- dicate that there was a row. The strange man, having made his escape from his two assailants, returned, and, seeing Long, fired the fatal shot. De- puty Sheriff Miller of Stamford has some clues of the man and woman which he has been working on for sev- eral days, and he has succeeded in placing a man called “Joe” and a wo- man known as “Nellie,” who corres- ponded to the description of the two as given by the Greenwich men, but has not been able to discover their haunts. He has important information that is not prudent to reveal yet, but which will probably come out in a few days. The story that Long and Sydney were enemies is denied by Sydney’s counsel, Lawyer Hulbert, who says that any difference they may have had had been healed up and they were on friendly terms. —m———-—-—— A Dozen New Attorneys.

Romance with a pleasant savor of the sea will attend the wedding of Miss Helen VVoodruif Smith, of Stamford, who at ten o’clock to-morrow morning, will become the wife of Mr. Homer S. Cummings. A lover of the ocean from childhood and a clever yachtswoman, Miss Smith has decided to have the marriage cere- mony performed far from the noise of the'town, on the afterdeck of the hand— some schooner yacht Viking. The Viking belongs to Commodore James D. Smith of Stamford, the bride’s fa- ther. When Miss Smith, who is Commo- d01eSm1th’s only daughtei, told her plan to her father, a short time ago, he was delighted, and promised to make his yacht as attractive a place for a wedding as any house could be. The Viking sailed to Larchmont to- day where the work of decking her for the gala event will begin and where the ceremony will be performed. The bride and her party will start on Tuesday morning from Commodore Smith’s handsome country place, Lin- den Lodge in Stamford, and go by pri- vate car to Larchmont. There the yacht’s gig will meet them and take them aboard. Soon after this, if the weather be fair, the ceremony will be performed on the afterdeck by the Rev. R. P. H. Vail, pastor of the Pres- byterian church in Stamford. If rain should fall, the wedding ceremony will be performed in the large and comfort- able saloon. The bride will wear a gown of white satin, covered with silk gauze, and a tulle veil that will1each to the end of. her train. This will be caught in her hair with a tiara Of diamonds, the gift of her father. The bride's maid of honor, Miss Kathrine T. Stebbins, will wear white silk covered with mousseline de soie, and a big white leghorn hat trimmed with clusters Of sweet peas. "- Miss Florence Stebbins, the bridesmaid, will wear pink silk, and a black hat trimmed with pink silk ribbon. It will make a pleasing bit of color to contrast with the deep blue of the water when these three young women leave the cabin and come on deck. The bridegroom, who is a lawyer and well-known in Stamford and this city, will have three attendants. These will be William J. H. Bohannon, mayor of Stamford; Judge H. Whit- more Gregory of Norwalk; and Wil- liam S. Dyas. of New York. After the words have been spoken that will make Mr. Cummings and Miss Smith man and wife, an elaborate breakfast will be served in the saloon. While the guests are enjoying the wedding breakfast, the Viking will set sail for Stamford. ' When the Viking reaches Stamford, the bride and bridegroom, with the party will be driven to Linden Lodge. On the spacious lawn at the rear of the Linden Lodge, a tent, capable of holding five hundred persons will be stretched, and there, from four until six o’clock, the bride and bridegroom will receive the congratulations of their friends. Supper will be served in a tent near by, and all the afternoon an orchestra, stationed in the library of the house, will delight the guests with music. The bride and bridegroom expect to sail on the Normannia next Thursday, and will spend a honeymoon of four months in Europe. V No Sympathy for Imapassino. The West Stamford Italians, who have been paying special attention to the trials of Fuda and Imapassino in; the Superior court. Bridgeport, gave unmistakable signs of pleasure and sat- isfaction upon hearing of the verdict in Imapassino’s case yesterday afternoon, and learning what it means for the prisoner. In Fuda’s case considerable sympathy was displayed for the accused, and a number of his countrymen went to Bridgeport to see .him. With Ima- passino, however, it is entirely difierent. ' He has few friends in Stamford and is generally believed by his countrymen here to be the real murderer. The verdict in his case seemed to please them immensely—Advocate. ‘vv 7 "—Flags and lanterns at Benedict and Ambler’ 3 Branch Store, NorWalk. 3'28 1w TURE HIS GOAT.

At the corner Of Wall and Main streets Timpson‘ got Off the car, but Elliot was to far gone to navigate and when he struck the pavement fell upon his back. Chief Bradley saw him and as he never allows a drunken man on the streets on Sunday, assisted him to his feet and placed him under arrest. Elliot went with the officer quietly until in front of Holmes, Keeler & Sel- leck’s where he stopped and grabbed the officer. Chief Bradley quietly landed him on his back, but not1 until his uniform coat was badly torn. As Elliot promised to behave himself the Chief let him up. The two got as far as Malone’s when Elliot again grabbed the Chief and tore his coat, and it required several raps from the officer’s club to make him let ’_ go, and he was for the second time placed on his back. A young man from_ South Norwalk named W. S.’ Smith came tOthe Chief’s assistance and Elliot was landed in the lockup. Judge Gregory after hearing the evi- dence fined the prisoner $7 and costs for drunkenness and $15 for resistance. enmosfoné BURST. And a Winsted Factory Hand Met Instant Death.
