, INORWA'LK GAZETTE. , Tuesday May 29, 1888. ¥ , Memorial Day. It has been said by a distinguished French writer that " Republics have. Proverbially short memories.” Once a Year the American nation pauses in its- busy round of trafiic and statesmanship, and by its reverent tribute to its heroic dead, proves to the world that there is one Republic which does not-forget. It were well for us occasionally to leave this period of greed and self-seeking and to turn back to these memorable days of ’61 to ’65 and see what manner of men and women we were then. Haw zealous for the public welfare! How unselfish and 'untiring in our patriotic laborsl All hearts were united by the tie of common rejoicing—a common sorrow. One day, a regiment with fluttering flags and gleaming bayonets passes through the streets inspired by the strains of martial music and the enthusiastic cheers of the bystanders. . And the sequeli—ah, how well we all remember it—day after day, a little pro- cession of blue coated men with mufiied drums and reversed arms filing past, hear- ing a coffin wrapped in the “stars and stripes." The air was full “of farewells for the dying. and sobbings for the dead. ” It were well for the mothers of to-day, to take their boys by the hands and point- ing out certain grass grown mounds in, the cemetries, to explain why these flower-crowned graves are thus singled out for special honor; to tell them. that these were the men who gave up home' and all that holds it dear, who patiently endured privation ;and suffering, who ,bra‘vely faced death, and that which was infinitely worse—the horrors of an “An-. dersonville” or “Libby,” simply because they believed it to be their duty. And they did all this, in- such a quiet, unosten- tatioua way that we almost forgot the heroism that prompted it, and looked upon it as a matter of comes, an every day occurance. 'In many instances no earthly reward was theirs. Silently, one by one, they fell on Southern soil, the sacrifice unnoted save bylthe ever watch- ful eye in the heavens. Their promotion was from Mom’s rank to patriot‘s grave. As one stands in some of our large, national cemetries,—Cbalmette in far Louisana, on the banks of the tawny Mississippi—Arlington overlooking the Potomac, or Gettysburgh, where in place of sentinel’s chalenge, the rattle of. mus- ketry, or the clangor of deadly strife, now reigns the solemn silence of those soldiers’ graves—when one stands in such hallowed spots as these and looks down on the myriad mounds, many of them marked only by tiny strips of board bear- ing that touching inscription “unknown” —one realizes for the first time, the fear- ful cost Of that peace which we and our children enjoy. \ In these times we are not called upon todd: for our country. But our grand mother Republic docs ask us. to line for her; to give whatever is purest and best in our nathres,freely in her service. Are we responding to her call as cheerfully, are we doing our duty as ‘nobly, as unselfishly—as the dead—as these living soldiers did theirs ? ~ ‘The history which they made forms one of the most illustrious pages of the nation’s archives. 0 friends! let us not have the intolerable shame of knowing that the history which we of to-day are making— shali prove but the unworthy supplement to their immortal record 1 Its Observance. The individual members of Bucking- ham Post, G. A. B. have exerted them- selves to make this year’s anniversary more ,fittingly sacred to the memory of their fallen Comrades than any Decoration Day hitherto, and the full and carefully prepared details of the day's Observances, given below, attest the success of their patriotic efforts: The order of arrangement is as follows: The procession will be formed on West Avenue, near the 2d M. E. Church, at 1:30 p. m., and will move in the following order: ’ Fire Police ; Marshall, Ellery C. Clarke; Aids: Capt. Jno. Webber, Louis Potter, Geo. W. Raymond, I. Mort Hoyt; _ Volunteer Guard, Mounted; Citizen’s Band, of Bethel ; Lockwood Rifles, Buckingham Post,G. A. R., Veterans; Zouave Drum Corps, Pioneer Hook and Ladder Company, and Members of Phoenix Engine Company, Hope Hose Company, Selectmen, Court of BurgesSes, Invited Guests, Clergymen, Orators and tissue in carriages. Starting at the M. E. church the pro- cession will pass up Mott Place to Frank- lin Ave., thence to Elm St., to West Ave, to Orchard St., countermarch "up West Ave. to Wall St;, to State Street, and to St. Paul’s churchyard, where the graves' of soldiers will be decorated. The line will then march up North Avenue to Camp Street, and thence to Union Cem- etery where the Memorial services will be held. These will consist of addresses by Post Commander Frank W. Perry. the Revs. Howard S. Ciapp and G. ‘ Haulen- beek, when the graves will be decorated by a special detail there and in St. Mary’s Cemetery. The line will then reform and march to Union Ave., to Main and to Wall Street, where the procession will disband. At 7:45 p. m., a public meeting will be held in the First Congregational church where an address by Rev. Charles H. Everest will be given. cam rename. Under the above caption the Philadel- pha Times preaches a lay sermon badly needed here in Norwalk. It most truly says :—“The growth of the interior towns depends, in a great measure, upon the willingness of local capitalists to build tenant houses and give other eneOurage- ment to new manufactories. If this en- couragement be withheld, manufacturers - will seek other places for the investment of their capital. Capitalists are now seek- ing to build factories and mills of all kinds. The demand is becoming more pressing awry day. Local prejudices must be set aside, and room must be made for every newcomer of brains and skill that wishes to start a spindle in motion or build a line of shafting. Local capital must be drawn out of banks and old stock- lugs and put into permanent improve- ments, among the most important of which at- the present time are tenant houses.” TRYON ROAD. A reader. makes the sensible suggestion that the meaningless “Rock Road” be changed to “Tryou Road” so as to clinch the historical fact that General Tryou after burning Norwalk marched to Dan- bury, over this highway. In the “good time coming” this road, giving as it does ' the most superb views Of any in Norwalk will be adorned with fine residences, and Tryou Road is a happy thought. “Support Your Own.” Appropos of our last week’s lay sermon on the above text, avcry shrewd business man who spoke from occular observation, assures us that in his judgment not less than one thousand dollars were carried to New York and expended on Saturday by Norwalk ladies that could as well and better for the purchasers, have been spent here at home: r Special to the Ladies. Ladies willing to assist in arranging flowers for deposit upon soldiers' graves are earnestly invited to meet at the rooms of Buckingham Post, G. A. R., over Smith's.dry goods store.as soon after eight a. m., tO-morrow, Wednesday, as may be possible. The GreatCBI-idge. Thursday was a great fete day in Gotham as well as in Moscow. In the former a great achievement in engineering was celebrated, and in the latter grand preparation Was made for the coronation of a king. At the first, was an interested participator. In the last, the to be inaugurated king, bedazzled with gold lace and decorations, yettrem- bling in fear of his subjects, was the ob- ject of a demonstration which cost his empire ten millions of. dollars. Tens of thousands went from the country to swell New York’s million population, and the day of its union with Brooklyn was made forever memorable. The work has been a stupendous one, ranking first among man’s greatest achievements, and the . Nation may well feel proud of the com- pleted work. A quarter of a million peo- ple are said to have crossed in on Sun- day. ‘ f_____...—-————— . A NEW AVENUE T0 WIISON’S POINT. We wish the good people of South Nor- walk might be induced to awake to a sense of the benefit it would be to their locality, if Woodward Avenue were to be extended across the salt meadows to a paint just east of the first Wilson Farm gate, and forming a junction with the shore road around said farm to the Point. This would not be a very expensive lay out either for grading or right of way and would prove one of the most beautiful and enjoyable shore drives in all our town. The extension of the Danbury Railroad has effectually destroyed the old Wilson’s Point road (formerly thevloven liest carriage drive about Norwalk), and by the extension of Woodward Avenue. as suggested, a new and safe and beautiful road for ladies and children to drive over, will be secured. The railroad track will be avoided its entire length. and except when crossing to Roton, need not imperil the safety of any. Inasmuch as the old drive was destroyed to accommodate the Danbury railroad, perhaps it would contribute something towards the con- struction of such a new route to the Point. It would certainly be much cheaper than to be compelled to pay for the accidents that will inevitably occur if the old road be driven over asheretofore. City friends please wake up to this enterprise and get this new road built before the season is Soldiers’ Monument. \ As the services of Memorial Day are to bc fittingly closed by an address by Rev. Mr. Everest at the First Congregational Church, that occasion should be availed of to make a direct appeal to our citizens for subcriptions for a Soldiers’ Monument kere. Rev. Mr. Thomas has expressed his willingness to make such an appeal and we have no doubt but that it would rc- celve a hearty and. liberal response from our patriotic citizens. At Stamford, after the graves of her dead soldiers are decorated, the day is to be utilized by securing subscriptions for a ‘monument and her leading citizens have already actively espoused the enterprise, which makes its success already assured. __—_———— r a _ Bring Flowers. Will not the ladies and children do their part in sending all the flowers possible to the moment Buckingham Post, over the store of Ford. B. Smith, to-day, Tuesday, and early to-morrow, Wednesday. All floral offerings will be most gratefully re- ceived and worthily bestowed. Remem. her that however small your contribution, it will not only prove your pptriotic devo- tion, but serve to decorate [at least one dead soldier’s grave. ’ The Rival Parallels, Etc. Three hearings-were had last week be- fore the. Connecticut Railroad Commis- sioners on the question as to the legal organization and lay out of the proposed Hartford &. Harlem Railroad. The Con- solidated was present to fight it, in the person of Ex-Governor Hubbard ; the Olmstead Parallel in the person of‘At- torney Hyde, and the assaulted Hartford & Harlem was ably defended by Simeon E. Baldwin. The testimony was all put in and the arguments commenced at the last day’s hearing, and ona djournment it was decided that the closing argument should be made June 7th. The impresa sion seemed to be general that the ‘fop~ posing counsel" had thoroughly convinced the railroad commissioners that there was really great danger that the Hartford «is Harlem would be built if permission were granted. ' 1 . They Paid for the Privilege. Jame McName of South Norwalk, was found in a helpless state of intoxication lying across the side walk, near the Staat’s Place on Belden avenue, late Saturday night, and some one finding him thus,drew him into the dOor-yard and left him. A little after ten he was discovered in con- vulsions. He had laid out in all the rain and was in a half comitose state. Dr. Baldwin was sent for, and the poor fellow drawn into George Partrick’s barn and placed on a bed of bay. The doctor and Chief Lockwood spent nearly two hours rubbing him back to vitality, and con- sciousness. Several times during the night Chief Leckwood-visited his patient and found him sleeping. At alittle before three he visited him and finding him con- siderably sobered, removed him to the Lock-up, that he might have the care of the keeper, and on Monday he was releas- ed, a sore, sober, sadder and wiser man. Sunday evening, as: crowds of people were passing from the M. E. Church, a young 'man not apparently more than 16 to 18 years of age was encountered, recl— ing drunk under the James’ eims, with two other youths strivingto keep him on his feet. - These were painful incidents for a New England Sabbath, but as our liquor sellers pay . for ,the privilege which is the most- blamablc, the rum~sollcr or the people. m . Encouraging. - The Gilbert & Bennett company of Georgetown are running their ;wirc work machines day and night,so driven are they with orders. This requiresa day and night set of hands, and the mill is kept running without cessation from Monday morning to Saturday night. Despite the generally dull spring business, sagacious commercial men predict an unusually good summer and fail manufacturing trade. - * As It Should Be. The Selectmen have . promptly ordered a safe and proper guard placed upon the outer sides of the Iron Bridge at thejBrady crossing. The bridge was cvidently'con- structed with a view of having a foot walk on either side, and this not being done, left it in its present exposed and unprotected condition. m THAT FAST BOAT. The president of the Knickerbocker Steamboat Company, (nee White's Line of Norwalk and New York steamboats,) stated to our informant that he expected to have asafe and fast boat on the old route about the first of J uue.. . Dangerous. , It really looks ,as if there was danger that the Hartford & Harlem would be built if allowed by our Connecticut Railroad Commissioners judging by the spirited way the Consolidated and the Olmstcad Parallel are fighting it.

Comatock. on, his way to the wharf to get his boat to return to Nor walk Light at about 5 p. m., Friday, saw a flame of fire leaping upward‘ from the shingle ~rcOf of the pattern shop of the George H. Raymond, 2d, foundry. Com- stoek ran back to the depot, notified the police and they in turn the firemen, and a general alarm was sounded by ringing the Congregational Church bell, the blowing of the Foundry and of Crofut’dt Knapp’- Factory whistles. The city fire departs ment quickly were on hand and soon ex- tinguished what otherwise would soon have proved a destructive confiagration. The root seemed to have caught .from sparks from the casting cupalo. It was a narrow escape for foundry, dock, corset factory and a number of residences ‘and ‘ wooden buildings. and it will require great care to prevent a similar occurrence; unless the present dry shingle roof of the patern shop, be replaced by one of metal. ' Friday morning between nine and ten o’clock, the West Norwalk store, owned by Holmes & Keeler was discovered to be on fire. ‘It was oucupied by Mr. Nash as a grocery and dwelling, and the fire was undoubtedly caused by a defective chim. say. Mr. Nash and his son were out in. the fi ld near the barn when the smoke pouriIfit out of the building attracted their attention, and rushing into the house they, found the ladies of , the family greatly. alarmed from the same cause. Flames soon broke forth and neighbors rushed to the rescue, but: to no purpose,_for,it-w_ss soon enveloped in- flames and totally con- sumed. Mr. Nash was able to save most of his furniture and a portion of his gro- cery stock, nevertheless his loss will be a severe one as be had no insurance. Mr. O. E. Wilson had issued a policy of $1,- 500 in the Niagara, on the building, for Messrs. Holmes 8; Keeler and their loss will probably be about a thousand dollars above the insurance. , Another Victim of the Granite State Fire. ‘ ' The body of a well-dressed German, about 35 years old, of medium build; was found floating in the river. Friday after- noon. In hispockets was found a recs“ of D. Krause, New 'Britian, clothier, $5 in account with Henry JohnsOn; also _ berth ticket 138, steamer Granite State, $1.30 in money,.and a silver watch. The man's face was bruised and his hands burned. An investigation of the cause of the steamboat’s destruction will be begun at New London by the United States Inspec- tors On Tuesday. Clifford L. Main of New Haven, whose ‘bride was lost in the disater, will be one of the first witnesses . examined. He will testify to thing's‘reé fleeting On the employees of the company, and will swear that no warning was given at his room, of the fire. He was smoked out. His friends have been here collect- ing testimony from other passengers.‘ Mr. Main is to bring suit against the steamboat company for heavy damages. Decided. The Cook- and Mills assault case at Five Mile River, which has been fanned into a great deal of unwarranted prominence, was decided in favor of Cook by Justice Bouton, yesterday, because of Mills hav- ng been the first assailant. ' Jennie Cramer’s Mother in Need The widow of Jacob Cramer and the mother of Jmnie Cramer ~of Mallcy trial celebrity appeared before the New Haven city Tax Collector Friday, and asked the privilage of paying in installments the back taxes which have accumulated upon the house where she lives, all that remains of a once fair fortune. She said that she had lately found much difficulty in living as she desired. Much that she had de- pended upon for support had proved un- substantial, and her petition for consider- ation, she said, was based upon absolute need. The committee voted to recom- mend thc granting of her request, and she will begin in September next, to pay $20 monthly. Interest will be abated. The Way of the Consolidated Charles A. Sherman of New Haven, William Herbert Thompson of 'East Haven, and William Treat of West Haven, brakemen in the employ- of the Consolidated road upon Harlem river freight trains, have been discharged by Superintendent W. H. Stevenson for theft. About two weeks ago they broke, into a car between New Rochelle and Harlem river and stole a quantity of fruit. They admitted their guilt and would have been tried, but for the trouble attending upon ‘ A iieavy Brewer’s Suicide. Christian Stoehr, a brewer of Bridge- port, committed suicide Saturday by shoot- ing himself through the head, at Credo’s Hotel, Stapleton, Staten Island. He leaves a family at Bridgeport. Financial difficulties are supposed to have induced the act. Mr. Stoehr went to Staten Island on the midnight boat on Friday and was found dead in his room on the following day. _ He was formerly Superintendent of Bachmann’s brewery in Clifton, Staten Is- land, but left the position to start a brew- , cry of his own in Bridgeport. He weighed over 270 pounds. ’ . j . . m— Two Deaths on the Rail. Two accidents occurred on the New York, New. Haven and Hartford Railroad Friday“ night. James Mulvey, a track-‘ man, while intent upon his work, was run over at Stratford by freight train No. 23, bound for New Haven. The evening Bos- ton express killed James O'Harra, a well- todo farmer, near Springfield. He stood upon the track, facing the train, as though courting death. Engineer Benton blew his whistle repeatedly and shriliy, but the ‘trainrushcd upon him and killed him in stantly. ====== Tasty House Painting. .0. C. Brothcrton is doing himself credit in a job of-house painting on a new cot- tage on Belden Avenue. If he finishes begun, he will decidedly augment his al— ready high reputation as a superior artist with pigments mid brushes. Musical Instruction.

NORWALK GAZETTE,‘_TUESDAY, MAY 29, 1883, 1 SOMETHING FROM THE CITY. A funny thing occurred Wednesday. The steamer John Fuller employed to raise a vessel sunk near the Long Island shore, steamed over here much'out of her way to get a supply of drinking water, al- .though she hada pump on board capa- ble of throwing 10,000 gallons a minute. The water here is rich and good for soups, qualities that the watersiof Lung Island are deficient in. Mr. W. C. Street received from acting President W. C. Kingsley, of the Brook- lyn Bridge, one of those elegantly engraved invitations, 10.000 of which were issued. Mr. S. accepted, and was one in [the big. gest crowd ever seen near New York. Ex.Mayor Ely and daughters have ar-. rived in excellent health, and with plenty of interesting narratives of their travels to relate. The Adams Express office with its changed and enlarged entrance and conse— quent increased office room, is in condi- tion to accommodate all the business which may offer. _ Rev. Mr. Wolfenden preached his fare- well sermon Sunday evening. The peo-, pic of his late charge bid Mr. W. good ;bye with regret. . , , . To accommodate the “Johnstons” of the Borough, the “Nameless” Base Ball Club of the city, went up Friday and whipped them out 15 to 6. . It is thought work on the foot bridge over .the railroad bridge will begin this week.. , ‘ . Mr. Alfred H. Knapp has happily recov- ered from that overdose of sugar‘ coated “pills." . . . “Crumbs of .truth,” were spoken by Mrs. ELL. Crumb “at Advent Church, Sunday. . .. Crofut' &. Knapp’s shop, No. 1, since an inventory taken early last Week, has been rushing business as if a fuller knowedgc 'of status, had imparted confidence. Next Sunday, Douglass Fowler Post, will decorate soldiers’ graves at Middle Five Mile River. William Hiiadon having bought out Henry Millspaugh will be frequently at the borough center, to teach the uninitiat- ed how to sell fish. ,. The death on Friday of Mr. John I. Nash causes sincere regret among the many here who‘know his good qualities. The steamer Carrie A. Ward has been doing a fair business since she appeared early lastweek, but when Roton Point fairly opens on May 30th, she will prove herself a still more important transporta- tion factor between this city and the points on her route. ' There is little need of new time tables for the Horse Cars now, as cars leave and arrive on an average about once in five minutes, complaining citizens to the con- trary, notwithstanding. Supt. L. W. Sandiforth left Sunday evening for Chicago to attend the great Railway exhibition which opened last week and which will continue till June 7th. His object is to study railway mal- ters, to meet the great magnntcs of the country, bear their views, and to 160k af- ter his own interests in a new patent rail- way car journal. One of tficse journals has been run in the machine shops of the D. & N. R. R. at Danbury, under" the same pressure of weight that a full size loaded passenger car would be under, and has been run five thousand miles, with one pint of Oil as lubricator, without the usu- al cotton waste, and keeping perfectly cool during the whole time and distance, Should this invention succeed it will prove one of the most important offered to the railway public in years. A model of the ’ ‘axle journal is now in operation at the Chicago exhibition, and will be reported on by an ofiicial committee. ‘Mr. Alfred H. Knapp presented toa lady guest of the Mahackcmo, Monday. at breakfast table a bouquet of wild flow- ers five feet long and seven feet wide. Mr. Henry Morehouse, the celebrated poet, peddler and walker, between this city and Weston forge, gathered the flow6 ere. . . Ex-Mayor Ely brought from California a number of genuine Chinese card-holders highly ornamented, presenting one each to members of the South Norwalk crib- bage. c1ub., . Mr. Ely's explanation of the article published in' the Sentinel, relating to an armless woman, and which the editor of the Sentinel claimed came to them from him marked for publication is, that he simply marked the article to show what kind of reading matter the newspaper men on the Pacific Slope defiled their journals with, and had no thought that the Sentinel would so far insult decency 4 as to print it. . Gratifylng. It is with sincere gratification that we learn that Richard C. Golden, Esq., has returned from his recent health-seeking excursion, decidedly benefitted and im- proved. - Mr. Golden is a gentleman fully deserving and worthy of all the good- wishes shewered upon him, when ill health gave his friends cause for solicitudc concerning him. . 3523:: GOOD.
