NORWALK GAZETTE, TUESDAY, MAY 45, 1883., NORWALK GAZETTE. Tuesday May 15th., 1888. SUPPORT YOUR OWN. Bridgeport merchants are already ex- periencing the evil effects of the ridicu- lously low steamboat fares from that city to New York. Thousands of people go , to New York on their 25 cent fare boats, with less than $5 in their pockets probably, but all the money they do have they spend in the great city and not at home to promote the business prosperity of the . place they live in. Norwalk. merchants have for several years past, had to contend with the same difficulty. It isn’t fair, it 18 downright mean, to ask credit of a home merchant, when you chance not to. have the money in your pockets to pay down for needed purchases, and then to caper off to New York and give‘to the city merchant the dollars you ought in duty, decency and self-interest to spend with the home dealer. Do the men and women guilty of this wrong to their local surroundings, ever reflect what a barren waste our.town would soon become, did every one do as they do? Not only is this ruinous practice a wrong upon our established merchants, but it rarely results in any real benefit to the unthinking pur— chaser in the great city market. The first renovation that Norwalk needs for its reawakening, for its commercial prosper- perity, for its greater growth in manufac- Hiring, and all that tends to make our exceptionally lovely village a thrifty, enterprising and prosperous community is for all our people to feel a deeper in- terest in the’successes and business pros- perity of each other. Every good citizen should do all in his power to help our own stores, our own factories, our own mechanics, our own day laborers. There hns‘been money enough carried and ex- pended in New York by our cheap fare steamboats to have built fifty new houses and twenty new factories in Norwalk. Our present steamboat facilities are worse in this'respect than they were before, for by the old White’s line the crowds of Country Cousins who were landed at” South Norwalk, used to drop into the stores there nightly and purchase more or less. By the railroad extension to Wilson’s Point, these customers are lost even to South Norwalk, as everything is carried through and candy from our sister city to. great Gotham. The same principles that make a protective tariff the salvation of our nation, operates for the good or ill of our local business. Again we say, support your own. HONOR TO OUR SOLDIER DEAD. The sacred and patriotic season of dec- orating the graves of our soldier dead is rapidly approaching and active prepara- tions are being made by living comrades and citizens to make this year’s demon- stration not only interesting but a more than’ordinarily useful anniversary. It is felt that now is a fitting time to organize fora permanent memorial to our dead heroes. Two plans are suggested. One is to erect a Soldiers’ Monument midway between the Borough and City, whereon shall be sculptured the names of all of Norwalk’s patriotic dead, and the little triangular square at the junction of the ‘ Stamford pike with West Avenue, would be a suitable location for such a menu ment. A better spot would probably be the small point of land on the north end of the Marvin lot a few feet south of the above square. Other thoughtful persons suggest that a subscription be started Decoration Day for the erection and establishment of a permanent Library Building at the Bor- ough and City, within which, on proper memorial tablets the names of our dead heroes shall be inserihed. This latter would prove the more useful and com- prehensive plan, yet we fear would fail of present accomplishment," unless some of our wealthy citizens would make a large and special contribution to so noble apurpose. Therc ought to be no difii- eulty in getting enough subscribed Deco- ration Day at the Borough and City, to put up an appropriate union memory to the memory of the brave, dead boys, and if Revs. Messrs. Thomas and Everest are left to make the appeal, as we learn they are to be invited to do, we feel sure that enough will be lsecured on that occasion to at least make the erection of the sol- diers monument a certainty. ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT. The Danbury 6: Norwalk Railroad Com- ‘ pany in addition to the 25 platform cars recently bought, have purchased and re- ceived .from the Consolidated railroad company, feur passenger cars, Nos. 3, 25, 53 and 55. This addition to the passenger equipment, has been found necessary in consequence of the enormous excursion trains that are run over thisroad since the building of the extension to the Sound shore at Wilson Point. The D. 85 N. company now have seven locomotives, of 50 tons weight, including tender' and water, 14 passenger cars, 3 mail and bag- gage cars, 115 merchandise cars. The 14 passenger and 3 mail cars are all equipped with Westinghouse Automatic Air Brakes and Miller Platforms. In 1852, when this road was Opened, and commenced running trains, their equipment consisted of two 18 ton locomo lives, 3 passenger, 2 mail and baggage, and 14 merchandise cars. It will be seen by their report to the Railroad Commis- sioners, that the receipts of the road, as their equipment, have four-folded. since . their opening year. OUR COUNTY FAIR. This is a day and age of reform, and the friends of the venerable Fairfield County Agricultural Society in an honest spirit of reform, havevplaeed aman at the head of the Association, which is a guarantee that it will be conducted in a manner to deserve the respect and sup- port of- all good people. Now is the time for the farmer to plant with an eye to the prizes offered at the County Fair next September, and this is just the time for the dear ladies to set their deft and dainty fingers at work in the preparation of the thousand and one little works of utility and art that will not only please the visit- ors' eye and win a premium at tine fair, but make the home more beautiful and lovely, after the Fair is over. WHAT BECOMES OF WHITELS LINE. The Knickerbocker Steamboat Compa- ny’s certificate of incorporation was filed in the County Clerk’s oflce yesterday. The objects of the company‘are to build, purchase, or charter boats for carrying ' freight and passengers upon the rivers of this State, Long Island Sound, and the. bays adjacent to the south shore of Long Island. Its capital stock is $140,000, di. vidcd into 1,400 shares of $100 each. Its corporators and Directors for the first year are John Englis, John E..Hoifmire, John English, Jr.,' Stephen V. White, Charles M. Englis, Adolf H. Boreman, and John D. Hofimire.—N. Y. Tinws, Saturday. At a meeting of the company on Satur- day, John E. Hoifmirc was chosen presi- dent and Frederick Perkins, Esq, was elected General Agent and Manager. It is anticipated that this reoganized Steamboat Company will put on anew boat about the first of June, to run he- . tween South Norwalk and New York. _____——— - BASE BALL.

Envy and selfishness are not characteristic of the newspaper fraternity, as is abundantly evidenced by the kind and generous greetings showered upon the GAZETTE by all our decent contemporaries. We have always endeavored to keep the GAZETTE up to the highest degree of excellence, as a clean, family newspaper, and if we have fallen short of our aims a generous public has at least given us the best of evidence that it is esteemed a reasonably good, home paper,—a newsy record of local happenings, desirable alike for subscri- ber and advertiser. That all our efforts have been appreciated, and no doubt be- ,yond their merits, it is only necessary to look at our crowded advertising columns, our constantly increasing list of sub- scribers, and the unprecedented demand upon our largely augmented job-printing facilities. While we purpose to continue our endeavors to make the GAZETTE the special advocate of local interests, and the channel of local, social, personal, and political news, no efforts will be spared to furnish its readers with the latest gen- eral news. A newspaper for the home should be made lively without being coarse, interesting without being false, complimentary or critical without being fiercely partisan or malignantly personal. Life is too short and its serious objects too important for a sensible person to waste time in personal animosities. Humbug, hypocrisy, fraud, cowardice and lies should he hated with a merciless hatred; but no person should be wantonly harmed by any journalist. The privacy of the citizen should always be respected, but officials, as the servants of the public, should be criticised freely, but justly, and praised or blamed as they faithfully or falsely execute the trusts with which the people honor and clothe them. With such a constituency as the GA- ZETTE has always been able to maintain,— comprising, as it always has, the very best classes of the people in this and the sur- rounding towns, it is no slight thing to the editor to have won and maintained its confidence and good wishes: but it is, if possible, a matter of even greater sig- nificance to the advertiser. The enter- prising business man, who seeks through the newspaper to notify the public of the advantages he is able to offer in trade, must needs catch the eye of those who have the taste to appreciate and the in- tellect to grasp a bargain when they see it, and the means to secure the same. It is because of these well appreciated facts that the GAZETTE has always been recog- nized as the very best advertising medium, and has always had the best advertising patronage, simply because it is taken and read by the best people. In this connection, it is appropriate that something more should be said of the retiring members of the late firm, and of their more youthful successors. On the first day of April, 1858, Joseph B. and George N. Ells, both former em- ployees of the office, were taken into a copartnership. The succeeding civil war, ' and the writer’s engagement on the Tribune, made it necessary that these faithful and most worthy associates should take the entire local charge of the paper. This duty they practically maintained, with well-balanced judgment and pru- dence, until the recent change in pro- prietorship. In their charge the paper continued to grow and prosper, and they earned and still retain the respect and confidence of all who ever knew them. If in anything they erred, it was in too great caution and lack- of faith in the future business possibilities of their sur- roundings. 0n the other hand, they en- joyed that sure success which too hopeful business anticipations might have led to wreck and financial disaster. Their pru- dence and conservatism at least caused their administration to result in gratifying financial success to themselves, and our congratulations are hearty and sincere at their good fortune, for they well deserved it all, and may success more abundant follow them, in whatever evocation they may engage._ Enterprise and energy are the natural elements of youth, and when harnessed to well-directedindnstry, moves more in accord with the intense business methods and necessities of these modern times. The present age is impatient in all things, and while old men may do for counsel, the times now more imperatively than ever before require “young men.for ac- tion.” In appreciative recognition of these conditions, and yielding to urgent appeals of earnest_friends of Norwalk and of the paper, to give it more of our personal supervision, the new copartncr- ship was conceived and arranged. Our two sons, both “to the manor born,” were fiduced to leave honorable and In- crative positions and put on the harness which the sire has here worn for thirty- five years. Both are graduates of the GAZETTE, and ,so familiar with. its pat- rons and its needs, while their more re- cent and enlarged experiences elsewhere' the better fit them for successful efforts here. One has a natural talent for busi- ness methods and details, and will act as publisher and, general manager of the printing department and of oflice affairs. The other, from early boyhood, has shown a special aptitude for editorial work, and he assumes the responsible and laborious post of managing editor. We confidently believe that the GAZETTE, under this new management, will continue to be as wel- come a visitor as ever to all the families into which it goes from week to week. Indeed, we shall be disappointed if its columns are not made more bright, enter- tziining, and helpful,—its contributions to the elevation and enjoyment of true home life become more apparent, and its earn- est efliorts to‘aid in the development of Norwalk to promote the wishes and rep- resent the wants of its people be made more conspicuous than ever. The GA- ZETTE will also continue to be. a firm and uncompromising supporter of the same Republican principles and measures that carried the Nation through bloody civil war and restored the Union, honestly believing that in their ascendancy rests the safety and perpetuity of liberty and all our civil and political rights. LET MONEY D0 GOOD. We recently published the trite saying of Senator Jones of Nevada, in relation to the fortunes he had made and lost. He said he could never be contented when he had money unless he could keep it in such use as to make it help others, as well as himself. How different Norwalk would be to-day were every man of wealth in it actuated by the same noble purpose. Make every dollarfihclp others while help- ing its possegir. This can never be done by hoarding. ' - REBELIJON. Over three hundred physicians of the old hard-shell school, in New York, have rebelled against their former rule which forbids their “consulting” with an equally well educated and oil: times more success— ful practitioner of the Homeopathic school. ‘ Liberty and light will ultimately permeate even old time, cast iron rules of faith and practice in medicine. The last feat 'of the Alaska is suflicicnt proof, if any were needed, that the ocean passage can be reduced to five days. Had the Alaska sailed from Milford Haven in- stead of Quecnstown, and had she landed her passengers at Fort Pond Bay instead of New York City, they would have reached here on Saturday instead of Sun- day.——N.

A gentleman passing over the Brady Iron-Bridge Sunday evening about half- past five, noticed the body of a boy lying upon the rocks underneath. Hastily summoning a lady who lived near by, an investigation was made and the boy was found to be Eddie Montgomery, son of Mr. William E. Montgomery, head clerk at the Norwalk Savings Bank. It is sup- posed that while attempting to walk across on the stringer of the bridge,thc little fellow slipped and fell. When discover- ed, he was unconscious and blood was flowing from a large and deep gash in the back of his head. He was immediately conveyed to his father's rcsidencc,1n the old Brady homestead, and Dr. Gregory summoned. An examination disclosed the fact that no bones were broken, though it was feared that he was hurt internally. He did not regain consciousness until 4 o'clock yesterday morning, and then im- mediately commenced vomiting blood, evidencingn severe internal injury. A large bruise is visible along the lower part of the spine and it is feared that the little fellow's liver is seriously injured. The doctor, however, gives hopes of the lads recovery. It seems to be a common practice among the young lads in that locality to jump up on and walk across the stringers or side pieces of the bridge and it is a wonder that no accidents have happened before. ‘ AN OLD QUESTIONNEWLY SETTLED. A notable literary and social feature of Norwalk is the Kappa Lamda Society of Selleck School. A charming company of young ladies attended the debate on Friday evening, 4th inst., and were greatly edified by a very exhaustive dis- cussion of the question, “Are the mental capacities of women superior to those of men P" Messrs." Domenech, Brock, Sticr, Barker, and Hubbel convinced the ladies of their vast superiority as a class to their protector, man—while the ardor of Messrs. Hager, Jackson, Billings, Curzon, and Carvallo was not at all abated in uphold— ing the much vaunted supremacy of the- male sex. While comparisons are always regarded as more or less invidious, yet justice sometimes requires ‘that they should be made, and the general senti- ment undoubtedly ranked Messrs. Brock, Stier, and Domenech, of the affirmative, and Messrs. Eager, Jackson, and Curzon, of the negative as the,most forcible speak- . era. The whole discussion was evidently creditable, and the ladies may be sure that the encouragement of their presence was warmly appreciated. The question, however, was decided in the negative, which is not a matter of great moment, as it may next time be decided in the fiirmstivc Roton Point Ahoyl It has long been conceded that for a ‘ nice place to spend a holiday and indulge in a season of rest and recreation there is no spot in this vicinity that could equal Roton Point. For years parties and pic- nics have hastened to Roton Point as a hungry man hastens to his meal. They have all enjoyed themselves and no one yet has had just grounds for complaint. This, too, was [before the age of improve- ment had.reached the point and now thli't so many long needed improvements have been, made the place will have double at- tractions for all. When Mr. Ackert took possession of the Point he at once' instituted a general overhauling and now no better place can be found along' the coast than Roton Point. Everything is convenient and comfortable, and there are no objectionable features on the grounds. Everything that would tend to furnish amusement or recreation has been intro- duced under the able management of Mr. Ackert, till now the Point well deserves the name given it, viz., “The Brighton of the East."

Mr. Lyman is now Chief Clerk in the of— fice of the U. S. Treasurer. He was not an applicant for the place, but was made on the recommendation of the civil service commission. Mr. Lyman served in the army during the war, and was appointed to a clerkship in the second auditor's of- fice, treasury department, in 1864, He was subsequently‘promoted to be assist— ant chief. of the stationery division in 1877 and was made chief clerk of the treasurer’s office. This position he has since held. He was an active member of the board of civil service examiners under . Grant’s administration and did some hard work. The appointment is generally re— garded as an excellent one. A.__.._. _...~_._____.__... The front of Finney d5 Benedict’s gro- cery storc looks like a flourishing hot house. ____._..

The senior editor has our sincere congratulations coupled with the wish that thirty years tinies of his paper in the same enterprising spirit and with the same sunny equnnim- ity that have made the GAZETTE one of the favorite home journals of Fairfield county. ‘ [l’orchcster Advance.] The Norwalk GAZETTE, now in its eighty-third year, has the same tendency that inheres to old people—it it taking on , flesh. It come to us now as a forty column blanket paper rejuvenated in ap- pearance. In its typographical appear- ance and general make up; in' the extent and variety of its news; its timely and ably written editorials on subjects of in- terest to its patrons, we find but little to criticise and much to admire. It is all right except inpolitics, and in this matter it is probably the foremoat exponent of Repub- lican principles in Fairfield County. We hope for its ultimate conversion to true Democracy. ' [Coolcy’s Weekly.] The Norwalk GAZETTE, now eighty odd years old, comes to us this week en- .larged to ten columns ,to the page, the entire sheet measuring thirty and a half inches by. forty-sevo'n. It is now the largest folio in the Shite, if not in the country. , Originally, that is- in 1800 when it started, the GAZETTE had but three columns to the page, and was hardly larger than a letter sheet. Mr. Byington bought the establishment thirty-five years ago, when it had increased to six columns. Continued prosperity has enabled him to further enlarge from time to' time until now, when he ought to be satisfied, for something should be left for others to do. Our old friend has been exceptionally for-I tunate. Entering upon businesslife while a young man, he did the sensible thing to marry a good woman, and somehow he has hada family growing up about him as the GAZETTE has been periodically enlarged. The present firm is A. H. B. dtSons. We rejoice with him that he has trusty boys to help along in his de- clining years. one being the publisher and another managing editor, and with them that the GAZETTE is so wide awake and fresh at the age of four score. May its shadow never grow less! # ROLL OF HONOR.

' About 2,000 oyster lbts are leased by the town to different persons for oyster planting, which are required by law to be renewed annually.

It was a graceful and very thoughtful act on the part of the employees in Messrs. Crofut & Knapp's two great hat factories here, to make Mr. A. J. Crofut’s 50th birthday anniversary, the occasion of ,a presentation on Triesday evening last, at shop No. 2. Graceful from the fact that the scnior member of the firm, Mr. James Ii. Knapp, was remembered by them on his 50th birthday, one year ago. Thoughtful, by reason of the choice of a gift, in which they seemed to have been guided bthhe sentiment in an old line,' “We make no note of time but by its loss," selecting a French clock to as- sist in saving, if that were possible, the precious‘ hours as they fly. Attaches of both shops contributed and the purchase was made of Theodore B. Starr, Fifth Avenue, N. Y., the price being $350. The clock contains two chimes and a cathedral gong, incascd' in ebony with gold trimmings, and is an object; elegant and useful, Mr. John W. Scott made the presentation speech during which he cxprcssedthe hope thatthe hands of the gift might assist in marking off the days and years reminding the re- cipient of the good wishes and heartfelt ' prayers for his welfare of the givers. In his reply, Mr. Crofut spoke in his char- acteristic, :business like way, of ,the pleasure which he felt, adding that somebody must have known him pretty thoroughly, for he had often said he would have a clock in every room of his house if he could afford it, and it began to look as though he would be able to. He should prize the clock as one of his choicest possessions and hold in remem- brance the kindnessof 'each' giver. From shop No. 1 Mr. Crofut received a basket of magnificent flowers which he accepted with the remark, that he would take it to Mrs. Crofut who was unable to be present. .From employees of shop No. 2 Miss CharlotteTemple spcaking for them, senior and junior members of the firm were presented with a basket of flowers, and both accepted in pleasant speeches. Collation followed, and dancing to music by Heine’s orchestra added to the general joy. Parties from New York inspected Kev: scr’s Island, Saturday. with a view ‘of lo— cating there for the summer.

The D. d: N. railroad was not a loser on account of Forepaugh’s Circus in Dan- bury, Monday. To-night the Ellis Family will exert their best efforts at bell ringing in the ‘Baptist Church, the object being to aug ment the church building fund. It is not too much to say that compared with the performance of the Ellis family, the fa- mous Swiss bell ringers who, years ago, were thought to be marvels, as indeed they were, are as stars of the fourth mag- nitude. They are vocalists and instrumen- talists at the same time. They play on 269 bells, 164 of which are tuned sleigh. bells, and upon them the most rapid, in- tricate and beautiful musical passages are executed. Of hand bells there are 64 and with 31 musical steel bars. a zither and guitar, variety enough is produced to please the most exacting. The perform- ance'on musical glasses, which they call the copophone, by Miss Romie, :is of more than ordinary interest. In short a first-class entertainment may be looked for. ‘ When the Consolidated road straighten _ their line from Springwood eastward, and build a new iron bridge below the present 'carriage bridge,- their passenger depot, now at the city’s center will make a first. class freight depot.
