NORWALK GAZETTE.
Tuesday May 22d., 1883.
SPECIAL‘TO JOB PRINTERS.
The Gazm-rn has for sale three second
hand Job Printing Presses, for less than
half their cost. All are in fair" working
order, and in daily use in our Jobbing
Department.
One is a Gordon 55x10 (inside chase)
and cost $250, will sell it for $100. An-
other is a:10x15 Gordon, cost $325 and will
be sold for $250. The third isa Universal
13x19, cost $700, will sell it for 3325.
Because of the introduction of our new
Hoe Cylinder Job Press and other new
printing machines, the above are not
longer required.
Memorial Day.
Quite an unusual interest is being de.
veloped in the matter of Memorial Day
exercises. Our citizens are responding
liberally in their gifts of small sums of
money to purchase flowers and those who
have flowers, make promises of liberal
supplies for Wednesday the 30th. This
is as it should be and we rejoice that
the patriotic efforts of the Grand Army
Boys, who have the duty in charge, are
thus generously seconded by our citizens.
We. rejoice too, to know that the GA-
zar'rn’s appeal for subscriptions for a 801-
diers’ Monument, receives almost univer-
sal approval. There is already a fund of
$100 in the Savings Bank at South Nor-
walk, raised for this purpose and we have
not adoubt that if Rev. Messrs..Thomas
and Everest will follow up the appeal at
the proposed public meeting‘ at the First
Congregational Church, on the afternoon '
of the 80th,that pledges for enough money
to build a monument be secured. Towns
of far less wealth, are graced by Soldier
Monuments commemorating the valor of
those who gave up their lives to preserve
the Union. Norwalk should have such a
memorial monument and it should be
erected by the united contributions of our
citizens from all parts of the town and lo-
cated as nearly equi-distant between the
Borough and City as practicable. Then
let the name and fame of every fallen here
from Norwalk be inscribed thereon and
thus carried down to succeding genera-
tioss.
A Dangerous Bridge.
Some one is very culpably at fault in
leaving the sides of the Brady Bridge so
long without guards. Two children have
already fallen through upon the rocks and
into the river below, and the little Mont-
gomery boy now lies in a most critical
condition with many chances against his
recovery. There is no manner of question
as to the town’s liability in heavy damages
as:on either side of this bridge a baby
carriage might be trundled through its
sides. .
Our Selectmen ought not to allow an-
other day to pass without putting up some
sort of guard across its entire length. It
is amazing that it should have been left
in such a criminally dangerous condition.
A Bold Horse Robbery.
Mr. John Plait, of Silver Mine, brother
of Builder Platt, of this place, drove to
Norwalk, Sunday a. m., to attend the
Congregational church. He hitched his
horse in front of the church, but when
the service was over, the horse was no-
where to be found. Communicating the
fact to the police a thorough search was
made and Stamford and neighboring
towns were telephoned to, but without
avail. It was finally ascertained through
Mr. S. W. Gregory that a horse and car-
riage answering the description given. had
been seen going towards Weston. a man
driving the horse. Following up this
clue Mr. Platt found his property a little
this side of the above place in a patch of
woods. The horse after being tied to a
tree and blanketed had been left by the
thief for some reason unknown. Such
an act as this in broad daylight is about
as hold a robbery as one seldom hears of
in this vicinity.
m
CONNECTICUT MEDICAL SOCIETY.
The annual session of the Connecticut
Medical society will be held in Hartford,
Wednesday and Thursday, May 23 and
24. The regular business of the society

rumor. GYGLONES.
The loss of life, damage to property,
and consequent suffering, which have
been caused by tornadoes in the Western
and Southern States have been apalling.
The last of these magnetic tornadoes, as
the scientific are pleased to call them,
Friday night devastod sections of Indiana,
' Illinois. Wisconsin, and Michigan, car-
rying death and destruction in its path.
Strawberry Festival.
Wednesday and Thursday evenings,
June 6th and 7th, at Lockwood’s Hall,
Pioneer H. do L. Company will entertain
their friends. The programme will
present strawberries as a prominent
feature, with instrumental music to follow.
The ball will be beautifully decorated,
songs by noted local singers are promised
and may be expected. The floor will be
cleared at ten o’clock, and from that hour
till midnight dancing to good music will
be in order. Tickets of admission 15 cents.
Steamer Burned.
The Hartford and New York steamer
Granite State was burned to the water’s
edge at Goodspeed landing on Friday
morning and three persons lost their lives,
one a bride from New Haven and married
the day before. The steamer and freight
and passenger’s baggage were a total loss.
AND HE WAS RIGHT.
A five year old son ofa certain borough
newspaper man, recently asked his uncle,
who by the way is a stationer and book-
seller, to take him to the circus. The
reply of the uncle was that be had no
money, whereupon the youngster broke
forth, “Huh! You’d orter be a news-
paper man and then you’d have lots of
money.” _
um
Still Another.
A box of smoking tobacco consigned to
S. K. Stanley of the borough, while en
route to Norwalk cia the Iron Steamboat,
last week, was broken into while in the
company's charge and four one pound
packages stolen.

Brooklyn's Great Bridge.
The mammoth steamer Columbia will
take passengers from Jewell’s deck,
Thursday evening to witness the grand
fire works display, inaugurating the open-
ing of the great bridge and return them
to the dock and give a ticket to the Park
Theatre all for 50 cents.
ANOTHER NEW PRESS.
The GAZETTE introduced another new
Jobbing Press into its very complete
Job Printing Department, last week. It
is called the “Universal Job Press,” and
is built at the Colt’s Armory Hartford,
which is a guarantee that it is thoroughly
well constructed.
We never hear of such
Special Borough Meeting.
The Borough Meeting called for Wed-
nesday next of which notice is given
elsewhere shouldbewellattended, as the
proposed change of time for holding the
annual election is then to be acted upon.
The change is no experiment for it has
been found to work admirably in South
Norwalk. Our elections are too numer—
ous, and we venture to say that ten voters
could not he found in the whole borough
who are not heartily sick of elections
before December has arrived. The vote
polled is always light, partly on account
of lack of interest, but principally, we
believe, because the working blasses
cannot spare the time, while' invalids
hardly dare expose themselves to the in-
clemendy of December weather. We trust
that every voter will make a special en-
deavor to attend this meeting that the
matter may be thoroughly discussed and
decided in accordanet with the preference~
of the voters of the borough.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT.
“Beware the wrath of a patient man,”
is a forcible proverb, as one of the
Arnold Foundry operatives found to his
sorrow on Saturday. He was seized with
the cunning idea of throwing glints of
dazzling sun-shine with a piece of broken
mirror-{from the Foundry, across and into
the eyes of Dr. Coolidge’s lady hat
trimmers. Tired of this amusement be
next tried his hand in trying to blind the
optics of the amiable doctor below in his
counting room. The Dr. made three
visits to the-offender and energetically
remonstrated with him, but getting only
insolence and on his return renewed
attempts to cast light into his head by
this aggravating process, he“hauled” him
before Judge Austin, who fined him three
dollars and costs, amounting to about a
dozen dollars in all, for “felonious and
malicious assault.” The culprit protests
that the girls were the first oficnders, as
they cast their bright and dazzling glances
at him before he attempted to “get even”
with them with his bit of broken mirror.
Judge Austin having now legally settled
such crimes to be “felonious and malicious
assaults,” it becomes a fearful warning to
all such young ladies as are guilty of cast-
ing their \winks and paralizing
optic glances at the gentlemen, for by
Judge Austin’s decision, it is an indictable
.penal offence, subject to heavy fines and
penalties. So girls beware. - A

ACCIDENTS.
Orrin Scofield, the upper Main Street
Grocer was driving to South Norwalk
with his wife Friday evening, when the
spokes of his forewhcel corruscated like
a piece of Fourth of July fire works.
Mr.S. jumped out spraining his ankle, but
the party esacped from serious harm.
Our friend S. must accept the evil with
the good, for it was only a few days ago
that his good “Uncle Samuel" sent him
$1600 pension money for having faithful-
ly served his country in the defence of
our glorious Union.
Dr. Baldwin, who just now occupies the
attention of ourvillage gossips so extensive-
ly, is bound to achieve fame and distinc-
tion, in one way or another. About nine
Saturday evening, as the Dr. was rushing
his Rosinante across the Bridge .in the
Horse car track, a compound fracture of
his nigh-side shaft clip was developed just
opposite the Gamma Cfiice. His ready
skill" as a surgeon, soon brought him to
the task of reducing the fracture and ban-
daging up the wound, with his halter.
Before all this could be done. J ugd Stew-
art, sceing car driver, Sam. Newell, tear-
ing down the grade from the Post Office
and disastrously threatening the Doctor's
unprotected rear, rushed into the street,
in front of the fiery, homeward bound
car steeds and at the peril of life and
limbs, frantically thrashed the air
with his green cotton umbrella and his
other unequipped arm. The startled car
Mazeppa, threw up their heads, Sam.with
lightning celerity put “down breaks,”
shouted w-h-o-a—u-p ! and a terrible catas-
trophe was avertedl The imperilled Es-
culopius again mounted his pill (sugar of
course) wagon, and drove off to assuage
the suflerings of his hosts of waiting pa—
tients, but we could see by the dim light
of the moon, the palid hue of his steed,
and the paler flicker of the village gas,
that there was desperation or matrimony!
in the good Doctor’s eye.

A GOOD CROSS WALK.
As Supt. Sandiforth has instructed the
city ofiicials how to laya superb cross
walk, we wish he would come up here
and relay in the same superb manner, the
cross walk from Fairfield County Nation-
al Bank to the Danbury Depot and thus
show our Borough officials how across
‘walk can be made so it can be crossed
over without a skill or mud scow, in rainy
weather. '

Capt. Raymond Hoyt died pt his home
in Darien about 3 o’clock Tuesday after-
noon. May 15th. He had been sick for
about a week. His last trip on the boat
was made on Monday, May 7th.
Capt. Hoyt's career is in many respects
a remarkable one. The greater part of his
sixty-two years have been spent on the
\waters of the Sound between Norwalk
and Sandy Hook. He was pilot of the
“Ella,” the “Stamford,” the "Shippan,”
and lastly of the “Meta," all steam vessels
plying between this port and New York
for the past twenty-three or twenty-four
years. He also piloted for a, time the
“Americus” and “Nelly White” for R.
Cornell White, and for somctthrce years
including the Centennial summer, was
pilot of the transfer steamer “Maryland”
carrying the Washington express trains
from the Harlem River to Jersey City.
In earlier life he served an apprenticeship
in the Sandy Hook pilot business, and
always in every position was recognized
as reliable and trustworthy to a degree
not often paralleled—Advocate.

was buried by the side of her sister, Miss
Ann Marshall, in the cemetery of the
First Congregational Church.
Mrs. Pierce was well known and greatly
beloved in many families in Norwalk and
elsewhere, in which, formerly and for
many years, she acted in the very useful
capacity of monthly nurse; for which by
her natural endowments and gracious gifts
and long experience she was] admirably
qualified. Many hearts of mothers have
blessed her gentle ministries, and will be
tenderly touched by the tidings Of her
death. which came at length, after years
of suffering,patiently borne, as a welcome

representative of both institutions. Grand
Conductor Keith of “Our Brother’s”
Lodge was one of the number, and is
especially enthusiastic in view of the fact
that the Grand Body voted to meet again
in Bridgeport in 1884. Apropos, Keith
was the only one out of a numerous dele-
gation from “Our Brother’s” Lodge who
remained over and attended the evening
exercises. Rumor has it that he reached
home in time for early breakfast.

Saturday to make a trip to New York.
Thursday a man named Brennan while
walking on the track east of the bridge
was struck by a west bound train and
seriouslyinjured. He was brought to the

By careful estimation 500 Citizens will
visit New York Thursday 10 witness the
opening of the Brooklyn bridge.
The bulge on the hose house at the time
it first appeared was a matter so:scrious
that tax payers, as well they might,--began
to feel that their money was being wasted.
The scare is over and all is now right.
-At a meeting of the Common Council last

Richard Hadden is about to put up a
building corner of Water and Haviland

It is not true asstated that the check
for $12,000,000 recently given by the
Pennsylvania R. R. company is the

Henry VanHoosear was in the city last
L
week preparatory to his western trip as a '
commercial traveler.
Floral decorations at the Congregational
church Sunday were arranged in memori-
am of Mr. William H. Benedict, who had
been superintendent of the Sunday
school for so many years, and whose
death occurred about one year ago. The
presence of natural blossoms bearing the
initials of the deceased, suggested thoughts
of the faithful church work he had per-
formed.

I. 0. O. F.
The recent annual convocation of the
Grand Lodge of Connecticut was one of
unusual interest, as the various reports
submitted fully prove. The following
extract from the report of the committee
on correspondence will well repay peru-
8111 :—
The ofiicers of fifty jurisdictions have
made their annual reports since the Grand
Lodge of Connecticut last met, and thirty-
niue of these jurisdictions have been
visited through these reports by your
committee since their appointment.
From most of them yourcommittee bring
“glad tidings of great joy.” The little
seed planted in Baltimore 1819, has taken
deep root, and has developed into a tree
whose branches cast their shadow over
the earth. The tree stands on American
soil but its branches reach to the Old
World and cover the islands of the sea.
Health pervades the tree and its branches
are covered with blossoms and buds and
fruit. No other organization, except the
church, can show such a record of good
accomplished, and begun, as is shown by
the sun lreports of this order. Truly
the lea of this tree are for the healing
of the nations.
Commencing our journey we first look
at our own Connecticut. -
Under the head of Connecticut we note
that our enterprising and public spirited
fellow townsman E. J. Hill, Esq. was
Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of the
state from February 1880 to May 1881,
was re-elected for two years,representative -
from the Grand Lodge of Connecticut, to
the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the United
States. \ .
' L. I. Munson, the present Grand Mas-
ter reports that: ‘
"On the evening of April 23, I visited
Our Brothers’ Lodge, No. 10 of Norwalk,
and witnessed their work in the initiatory
degree. The lodge is almost perfect in
this part of the work, and their example
in this respect cannot be too highly
praised.” ' .
Among the reports of the District
Deputy Grand Masters,we find the follow-
ing of special local interest:
DISTRICT No. 9.-FRANK LEONARD.
The order in my district is in very fine
condition. Butler, No. 97, is doing good
work, has large attendance at meetings,
and a great deal of interest taken in the
work, has taken in members almost every
meeting. All work done is well done.
The officers are all efficient, and up in the
work. _
Our Brothers?, No. 10, is doing all the
work that can be done. Candidates out
waiting all the time. They have just
received new paraphernalia that cost over
$800, and are doing the work second to
none, and expect to do it still better.
Has initiated twelve members since Jan-
uary 1, and has severalcandidates out yet.
All work is done without books. The
lodge is finely ofiicered, and the interest
shown by the members of the lodge is on
the increase. The lodge room is crowded
to see the work done.
No books are used in doing any of the
work in my district, and to the fact I
attribute the general good condition of
the order and the efficiency of the work.

Correspondence.
TO OUR WATER COMMISSIONERS. .
Mnssns. Emrons:—Will not our Bor-
ough Board of Water Commissioners pay
a personal visit at the Distributing Reser-
voir and see for themselves the need of its
being thoroughly cleaned, and some more
effective mode of filterhtion being adopt-
ed. Our water is not only badly discol-
ored. but it is offensive to the smell, and
contaminated with long white bugs of the
liveliest description, but not appetising
for a beverage, and must needs be un-
healthy. Wasr SIDER.
Epirons Nonwamr Gazn'rria :—
0mts:—I wish to correct an error in
your remarks upon the death of our late
beloved companion and Neptune Brother,
Howard S. Bctts, (see issue May lst). '
He did not “contract the fatal cold dur-
ing our last cruise," but on the contrary
accompanied us hoping to obtain relief
from the seeming cold already contracted,
and the writer (with other friends) was
instrumental in causing him to decide to
go for that reason, and upon our return
really felt that he had been benefited by
it. Please give this publicity enough. to
contradict the error, and oblige,
Yours very respectfully,
.C. H. TOMI’KINS,
Commodore of Neptune Club.
Under the head of “Circus Notes” the
Danbury Republican mentions the hanging
of J 00 Brady, the Phoenix Park murderer. '
South Norwalk Republican.
And under the same head also appears
the death and funeral of General Grant’s
mother. Too much circus lemonade,
probably. '
