O
NORWALK GAZETTE.
Tuesday May 8th., 1888.
WHAT THEY SAY OF US.
The kind expressions of appreciation
and approval of the efforts we have1made
to improve the old GAZETTE, touches us
very tenderly. As most of our brethren
of the press well know, the Senior of the .
GAZETTE has had several far more remn-
nerative newspaper connections. He
started out, a mere boy, with the New Ha-
ven Journal, subsequently he became part
owner in the Palladium, and snccessivcly
interested in the New York Tribune and
New York Sun; but the old GAZETTE
was our alma mater and always our “first
love." ' Extreme poverty 'compelled us to
substitute a course at Yale for a “case" in
this office, with Janus REED, Esq. (now ‘
of the Ashtabula Telegraph and whose kind
reference to us and ours is copied else-r
where) and we never could wean ourselves
from a special love and devotion to the old
GAZETTE. Whether on land or ocean, in
peaceful recreation or arduous toil, and
when on the field of battle, at least one
night in the week, has been specially de-
voted to its interests, in so far as our pen
could do it, for more than thirty years.
So, kind brethren of the press, one and
all, we gratefully thank you for your ear-
nest good wishes and shall strive the bet:
ter to deserve them.

DEOORATION DAY.
Why cannot our Grand Army boys
turn the coming Decoration Day, (Wed-
nesday the 30th inst.) to practical ac-
count? Revs. Messrs. Everest and
Thomas and others, we learn, are willing
to address a mass meeting of our citizens
in the interest of the starting ofa fund
for a Soldiers, Monument in Norwalk, or
the securing of a Public Library Building
wherein, besides good books for the peo-
ple, shall be placed a Memorial Tablet
with the names of all from the town who
fell in battle, properly inscribed thereon.
This would be turning the day and the
patriotic sentiment that hallows it, to a
practical and serviceable account, and we
hope it may be done.

Grand Army of the Republic.
A late general order issued by Paul
Vanderpoort, Commander-in-Chief, gives
some interesting facts regarding the pros-
perity and rapid growth of this organiza-
tion. During the six months ending
December 31, 1882, there was a gain of
1,050 Posts—50,000 members; and since
February 1, 1883, there has been charter-
ed in Kansas, Nebraska, Michigan,
Illinois, New York, Ohio and Pennsyl—
vania, over 200 posts. The National en-
campment is to he held in Denver, 0010.,
next month, and judging from the pre-
parations being made by the citizens of
the Centennial State, all who attend will
have a thoroughly enjoyable time. The
Legislature of Colorado appropriated a
handsome sum of money to be expended
in entertaining the veterans who attend
the gathering, and theliberal subscriptions
being made by the Denver people con-
sidered with the special low rates of rail—
road fares, ought to secure a large atten-
dance in spite of the distance.

Entries for the Great r... at Hartford.
Thirteen entries have been received at
Hartford for the Charter Oak guaranteed
stakes for a purse of $10,000 in the 2:19
class, during the Circuit Meeting in Aug-
gust. The entries are: N. W. Kittson,
of St. Paul, brse’s Yellow Dock Syrup
Company, of Providence, W.I. Gordon of
Cleveland, M. M. Hedges of Newburg,
N. Y., John E. Turner of Philadelphia,
Col. E, W. Connor of Middletown, N. J .,
J. W. Page of Cheyenne, Wy., James
Golden of Boston, H. W. Brown, of
Rochester. N, Y., Budd Doble of Chicago,
William Armstrong of Almoat, Mich.,
William R. Loomis of Chicago, and John
A. Goldsmith of Oakland, Cal. Those
making entries are not required to name
their horses till August, but from the
names of owners it maybe inferred that
Fanny Witherspoon, Yellow Dock, Rom.
era, and other noted horses will appear.
NEW FAST MAIL SERVICE.
Postmaster Pearson has arranged for a
faster mail service on the N. Y., N. H. &
H. R. 3., between Boston and New York,
which went int oeffect yesterday. An ad-
ditional train leaves each city at 9:01 a.
m., arriving at either end of the road at
3:18 p. m. The train to New York will
bring the mail that has heretofore arrived
at 4:22 p. m., and will make it possible to
deliver throughout the city the mailpost—
ed at Boston early in the morning, which
has not been delivered south of Canal
Street in the past.
PASTORAL TRANSFER.
Rev. John Russell, for the past five
years pastor of St. Mary’s Catholic church
was assigned by his Bishop, to the pas-
torate of New Haven and departed for
that city yesterday. While in Norwalk,
Father Russell has won the respect and
esteem of many others than those of his
' own denomination. He has greatly
beautified St. Mary’s, reduced its debt,
builtanewparochial school and by his
activity and energy greatly endeared him-
self to his people. Rev. Mr. Slocum, of
Hartford succeeds him here.
HILLSIDE SOHOOL.
Dr. Fitch‘s Educational Institute, so
beautifully situated on Prospect Hill,
so charmingly overlooking both village
and harbor, is, as we are glad to know,
enjoying a well deserved and nobly earned
degree of prosperity. As a boarding.
school for boys fitting for college or com-
mercial pursuits, we do not know of its
superior anywhere and we are new test-
ting its exceptional advantages with our
fourth boy.
REV. MR. EVEREST.
It used to be said in our old army days
that the very acme of human fame, was
for a soldier to valiantly die on the
battlefield and have some other fellow’s
name polished in the papers for the hero
intended! This is about the size of the
fate that bcfel tne able and eloquent Mr.
Everest, in these columns last week, as,
was plainly apparent,he was the person
intended, although he was made by us to
parade under the nomdo plume of the
“Rev. Mr. Meserve."

Promotions In The Patent Office.
Charles J. Kintner, of Michigan, form-
erly chief clerk of the Patent Office, was
last Saturday promoted to be principal ex-
aminer of patents, vice F. L. Freeman,
resigned. Mr. Freeman goes into the ser-
vice of the Gramme Electric Co., of N.
Y., and Mr. Kintner, one of the most ac
complished electricians in the Department
and one of the best fellows in the Nation,
very appropriately succeeds Mr. Freeman.

RESUMING WORK.
The large rubber works of L. Candee
db Co. of New Haven, employing 1,400
hands started up yesterday, and the
Goodyear Rubber Company, of Nauga-
tuck, will resume on Thursday. This is
welcome news to the operators who have
been out of employment since February,
when these concerns were obliged to shut
down in consequence of the high priceto
, which rubber had been forced.

RUNAWAY.
A horse belonging to Sherman’s stable
started from in front of Dickerman's
store, city, yesterday morning and ran up
Washington street. While attempting to
turn around School street, the horse col-
lided with a large elm tree on the corner
and broke its back. The wagon which
was empty, was also pretty thoroughly
.demolishcd.
A sumo or‘lnr. PAST.
Our last week’s reference to the ancient
history of the GAZETTE, seems to have
awakened old memories and long time
ago recollections in the minds of many of
our older readers. The venerable Mr. Eli
B. Bennett, who for fifty-two consecutive
years, was the Towa Treasurer of Nor-
Walk, sends us a copy of our paper of
Tuesday, February ,20, 1827, or fifty-six
years ago last February. It is published
by S. W. Benedict, the father-in-law of
the late LcGrand Lockwood. And as the
first advertisement in it, Henry E. Hoyt
advertises saddles and harness. The di-
rectors of the steamboat John Marshall

until such time as the steamboat recom-
mences running. The stage leaves Zach-
aria Mead’s tavern, 23 Bowery, daily, at
9 a. m., and reaches Norwalk the same-
night. Returning it leaves Horace Cook’s
tavern, Norwalk, at 7% o’clock, Captain
Peter Knapp's tavern, Stamford, at 9
o’clock, stopping at Greenwich :and Saw-
pits. . A Note Benn adds, "This line
having careful and experienced drivers,
passengers may ride with‘ ease and more
than ordinary safety.” ‘ Keeler, Whitlock
do Go. advertise a. stage line from Norwalk
to Danbury, “reaching Danourg/ the same
day.” H. K. Frost next advertises chairs

is married to Miss Reb‘ccca Brown by
Rev. Mr. Eaton. Among the deaths is
Rufus G. Taylor, son of Seth Taylor, aged
20 and a member of the Senior Class of
Yale College.
The pathetic part of all this record of
the past, is the fact, stated to us by Mr.
Bennett that of all the names mentioned
anywhere in this number of the GAZETTE,
only himself and Mr. Wm. S. Lockwood
are now living.

COMPANY F’s BALL.
The third annual ball and reception of
00. F, Lockwood Rifles, took place at the
Armory in Lokwood’s Hall, last Wednes-
day evening. There was a very large at-
tendance and the various committees were
kept busy in accommodating and receiv‘
ingguests. The “sojer boys’.’ were fully
equal to the occasion and treated the at-
tending crowd so nicely that all united in
praising 00. F and its gallant members.
The Howe orchestra commenced the exer-
cises with a short concert, after which the
company gave a fine exhibition drill and
were reviewed by Maj. Crowe. About
9:30 the floor was cleared and dancing
commenced, and was kept up to a late
hour. Many military men were present
from [out of town, and expressed them-
selves as highly pleased with the enter-
tainment. About midnight, supper was
served, after which dancing was resumed,
and when “ye editor” wended his way
homeward in the “Wee Sma’ Hours,” the
“sojers” and their fair ladies were still
“tripping the light fantastic" toe.” That
the ball was a success all concede, and Co,
F are certainly to be congratulated upon
that culmination of their most earnest and
indefatigable labors. View la 00. F.
BASE BALL NOTES.
On Tuesday of last week the batters
from Coolidge 6: Trowbridge's factory
played a match game with the scholars of
Johnston’s School on the grounds of the
latter, east of the James’ Homestead.
The hatters were rather too strong for the
school nine and vanquished them by a
score of 35 to 24. Dr. Coolidge ofiiclated
as umpire for the first few innings but
“owing to sudden illness,” was obliged to
withdraw before the end of the game.
On Friday an attempt was made to res-
urrect the old rivalry between the Wall
and Main Street business men and induce
the cto cross bats upon the diamond.
Mai troet, however, had an unusual at—
tack of lethargy and after vainly expend-
ing entreatics upon them, the W all street
boys sent an informal challenge to Prof.
Johnston’s‘school nine. The challenge
was accepted and at 3:30 p. m., sur—
rounded by an admiring crowd of the
town’s elite, the Wall streets proceeded-—
to let the school nine walk away with
them. The latter nine not only walked,
—they ran away with them, and one
discouraged Wall- street man who was
brave enough to ask the score at the
close of the game, was almost paralyzed
at being told “30 to 14 in favor of John-
ston’s school.”
On fiturday, at 9:30 a. m., the first
nine of Dr. Fitch’s School played a picked
nine on Union Park, defeating them by a
score of 24 to 18.
The same morning the No Name club
defeated the third nine of Dr. Fitch's
school, by a score of 36 to_14.,.
Base ball has been lively this week.
It is hoped that the Main Streets may
be induced to start anine to compete with
Wall Streets this summer.
It wasn’t the “epizootie” but the usual
effects of the first ball game, that made
nine Wall Streeters walk so crooked Sat-
urday.
Dr. G. W. Bennett received a painful '
injury to the second finger of his left
hand while trying to catch “the curve" on
Friday.
“Bob? Beatty has just received a cargo
of potatoes that would make an Irishman’s
mouth water. They are of an exception-
ally large size, some measuring six and
eight inches in length with proportionate
circumference. They had hardly arrived
ere “Bob” had filled one large order from
Rllode Island. -
The Borough of Norwalk and the Parallel Railroads.
Eanons GAZETTE :—In the several
articles on this subject which have
appeared in' the GAZETTE, vizi—thc
editorial in your issue of March 27th,
the reply of S. E. Olmstead, Esq, and
the communication from “A Believer
in the Hartford and:flarlem,"thc interests
of the Borough of Norwalk arcconsidered
only in your editorial. The other articles
are exclusively;,in the interests of the
proposed railroads.
Representative Bell, when he stated
that ‘South Norwalk was provided with
all the railroad facilities it needed, struck
a~ key note which should attract the atten-
tion of every person interested in the
prosperity of the borough, and in that
connection the first thing to be con-
sidered is: In what way can the
Borough of Nor-wall. be supplied with
all the railroad facilities it needs? That
it does need such facilities must be
conceded. The most casual observer of
its progress must have noticed its rapid
growth on West avenue and the streets
connected thereWith,and to such observers
it must also be evident that for business
purposes, manufacturing, etc., (which re-
quires large source of real estate), its
growth must be toward the northeast,
north, and northwest. To render these
locations available for such purposes,
facilities 'must be afiorded 'for the rapid
and economical transportation of supplies,
materials for manufacture, fuel, etc., and
for the delivery of manufactured goods.
When neighboring cities and towns offer
railroad or water privileges, the Borough
of Norwalk to meet the requirements
must offer the same or equal advantages.
This necessity will not be met by either
of the proposed Parallel railroads, iflhe
routes contemplated are adopted. The
Hartford and Harlem entering the borough
from the east, runs toward the west. It
then sweeps around the south, with a
curve towards the east, and then sweeps
toward the west again, forming three-
fourths of a letter Screening every highway
which leads to'the borough (or within its
bounds) from the northeast, north, the
west and southwest, generally above
grade which on hill side roads, are far
more dangerous than at grade, as when
the horses see a locomotive and train of
cars (in the air apparently) they are sure
to wheel around suddenly, with the cer-
tain result of upsetting the conveyance.
What is known as the Olmstead Parallel
is open to the same general objection in
regard to its proposed route. If either of
these corporations would adopt, substan-
tially, the old Twining survey, agreat
many of these objectionable features
would be avoided, and the developement
of this section of the borough and its
vicinity, to which allusion has been made
and which is admirably adapted to manu-
facturing purposes, would follow, to the
great advantage of the borough, and also.
securing a local business for the railroad,
of such acharacter, that it could not be
tampered with by any rival railway.
The proposed crooked route through the
Borough of Norwalk, is unnecessary de-
structive to its interests, and is proposed
only to avoid present expense, and all
this, in the face of the fact, that the
Pennsylvania railroad and its connections,
have, (in order to avoid curves), abandon-
ed over one hundred miles of completed
road, finding it more economical to con-
struct new roads, than to use the crooked
ones already built. The New York, New
Haven and Hartford are now preparing to
do the same thing, which will involve
making very expensive cuts, and great
outlay for right of way, and construction
.of road. It is hard to conceive what
benefit can possibly accrue to the Borough
of Norwalk by having the railway after
it leaves its Norwalk depot run to South
Norwalk on a line parallel with West
avenue, to the great discomfort of the
large population who would thereby be
exposed to all those evils which are
always attendant upon proximity to rail-
roads,,including the injury to the sick
caused by the unearthly, hideous shriek
of the steam whistle as it breaks upon the
stillness of the night.
It is a source of gratulation to the in-
habitants of the borough that its chief
Executive Officer and his associates are
fully posted in this matter, and are evi-
dently prepared to act in such a manner,
as. while encouraging the construction of
the so much needed railroad, will protect
the interests of the borough by giving
each direction to its prospective enlarge-
ment as will be of benefit to all parties
concerned. ‘ 4%"
A Model Paper.
Judge Stuart thinks the Gazette would
now be the model paper, if it would only
publish his carefully prepared letter to the
Stockholders of the National Bank of
Norwalk.
Murder in Bridgeport.
Aaron Nichols. alias, “Doc” Nichols,
was killed by his son-in-law in Bridgeport
Sunday, during a family quarrel. The
man’s throat was cut so deep that the
head was half severed from the body. -'
The Fountain Gun club will give an-
other shoot to-morrow. ' . . ,

the mansion in the absence of the Cha-
pins, has taken apartments in Mr. James
Lyon's house, corner Knight street and
North Avenue.
M r. George R. Cowles of NOrwalk,
chairman of the joint standing committee
on incorporation has proved himself to be
one of the mast careful, considerate and
influential members of thcAssembly. He
has spoken many times during the season
when the work of his committee demand-
ed it, and whenever he has uttered a word
it has been to the point, his language being
stripped of all attempt at display of ora-
torical powers ; common sense and the
requirements of the casein hand being the
only incentives to his action. As a conse.
quence he has carried weight however ad-
dressing the house and rarely has a meas-
ure that he advocated been lost—Bfidge-

About midnight last Tuesday, fire was
discovered in the brick building on' Wall
street, formerly occupied by J. 8.7 T.
Cousins as a shoe manufactory. The fire
department were promptly on hand‘ and
thougha little too cein their use of water
rendered efilcicnt service. The fire origi-
nated from adefective chimney,the soot in
which had probably been on fire for some
hours. A large hole was burned in the.
floor of the room, and a few hours longer
would have made an extensive conflagra-
gration. The damage is estimated at
about $500, principally from water. Mr.
Quintard suffered considerable by the
water soaking through into the room used
by him as a furniture store room. Capt.
Enoch Wood’s household furniture was
stored in the room directlybeneath the fire,
and this was: considerably damaged by
water.

Correspondence.
EmTons GAZETTE z—In regard to your
last week’s statement copied from the
New York Evening Post, I would say
that the facts in the case of the death of
Cnaanns W. BAX'I‘ER, have been perverted
or ignored. I was present at the close of
the postmortem, and was told by the
physician that they could not discover
poison, that the contents of the stomach
would have to be analyztf to determine
that, which they did not do, but the press
had declared in advance that it was
suicide. The ambulance§surgcon said when
‘called, that nothing indicated suicide.
Mr. Baxter left his place of business in
the best of spirits, late Saturday, making
arrangements for a special work Monday.
The whole investigation was a farce.
The statement that Mrs. Baxter said her
husband had long been out of employ-
ment, and was despondent, was false.
She made no such statement, he had not
been out of employment for a day, had
never been despondent. He lately had
several hemorrhages; when found dead
his mouth was filled with blood. The
proprietor of the hotel, at which he
stopped, was a friend of his, and accom-
panied him to his room, in his usual lively
spirits, saying only that he was very tired
and made no remark about taking a long
sleep. Not a scratch was left to indicate
suicide, and the post mortem found noth-
ing. . ‘
That Charles W. Baxter died a natural
death, there is no doubt entertained by
anyone who knows the circumstances.
As Ever, B. Bannaononan.

dition of a column to each page. It also
'chants an Ewultemns over the bran new

The NORWALK GAZETTE for May, comes
to hand in a new dress, as radiant and
blooming as a country maid, just from her
morning abluticns. New styles and type-
graphical changes, and tasteful improve-
ments. Especially is this true of the
change of the head, and the heads gener-
ally. The old head we would not treat
irreverently, for it stood its place manful-
1y with quiet mien, in the midst of ribald-
ry and thoughtless and unfeeling merri-
ment and ridicule. An additional column
to a page, making an enlargement to forty
columns—a regular blanket—and giving
every reader a quantum sufilcit of mental
and moral pabulum. Its columns stand
out with plethora, and the local happen-
ings and the political manouverings of
parties, and the policies of government
contribute to its' gatherings. God bless
the old GAZETTE and the faculties that
preside over it. May its shadow never
grow less. '

SOMETHING FROM THE CITY.
Thirty years ago, Sunday, the terrible
accident by which over 50 persons lost
their lives by an express train desiring
an open draw bridge here, took place.
Our enterprising druggist, Mr. I. Mort
Hoyt, having bought out Brown’s phar-
macy, Daricn, will henceforth conduct
two stores. Mr. Iloyt will have the as-
sistance at his place here, of Mr. C. F.
Ringlcr of New York, a graduate of the
N, Y. College of Pharmacy, who comes to
us with an experience of ten years in the
drug business.
Old well Lodge, F. &.A. M., will work
the third degree to-morrow evening.
Dr. Bohannan's patient, Richard Swee-
ney, a pupil in the Union School, whose
shoulder was dislocated a few days since
while he was playing “leap frog," is get-
ting better. .
Capt Bell is spoken of as understanding
the “still hunt” business as applied to a
a bill be approved in the House of Repre-
sentatives—the oyster boat designation
bill. He opened not his mouth, save at
meal time till the bill came upon a third
reading, and then he went for it with his
22 years experience as ammunition, and
at the‘ close of his speech which was one
of the best delivered by any member dur-
ing the session, on any subject Itherc was
not enough left of the measure for burial.
It was annihilated and there was not even
the show of a funeral.
A crowd gathered at the depot Sunday
afternoon to greet the first regular day ex-
press train from New York run over the
New Haven road on that sacred day.
Members of the Colored Church are ex-
erting every effort to raise funds for a new
place of worship. . The IdealgColored J u—
bilee Singers will- assist in their behalf
Wednesday Evening in the Reform Room
M. E. Church.
Visitors to Roton Point, will find Ac-
kcrt there, the trees budding, and shore

It is believed Rev. Mr. Wolfendcn will
accept the call to Calvary Baptist Church,
Albany, N. Y. Salary $3,000, and an as-
sistant. ‘
Thursday, Charles Olds, a brakeman
employed by the D. & N. R. R , had a
.leg crushed while coupling cars near the
borough.
Miss Kate Field will honor us with her
presence the latter part of May.
H. H. Elwell’s Magnolia tree, in full
bloom, is the most beautiful object among
shrubs in the city.
Mr. A. Salmons was walking on the
streets Saturday, and from what he said,
felt confident of sure recovery.
Several New Canaan firemen came down
to Norwalk last Tuesday night to witness
the workings of our steam engine. There
seemed to be some trouble in regard to
the procuremcpt of horses to draw the en-
gine and the Messenger generously gives
voice to the complaints of the "kiddies.”
Among other thi the Messenger says:
The boys did not arrive in Norwalk till
after 7 o'clock and were compelled to
wait till nearly nine o’clock before the
“machine" was run out and set to work.
But this delay was no fault of the firemen,
it was caused by the stupidity and “left—
handed” economy of the new chairman of
the Fire Committee, who refused to fur-
nish horses to draw the engine because it
was too expensive. Such conduct on the
part of those from whom better things are
expected must be very discouraging to a
volunteer fire department. Perhaps it
would be economy on the part of the Nor-
walk oflicials to disband the fire depart-
ment entirely. When the firemen found
that the New Canaan boys had drove
down specially to see the steamer work,
they hired a team of horses, at their own
expense, we believe, and gave our boys
an exhibition.
There are four cases of leprosy at
Blackwell’s Island. The New York
physicians advise that an isolated quaran-
tine bc provided for those aflllcted with
this loathsome and incurable disease.
