NORWALK GAZETTE, TUESDAY, JUNE 5, I883. ' NORWALK GAZETTE. Tuesday June 5, 1888. MemoriaI Day. Ushered in as it was, by a beautiful and cloudless sunrise, last Wednesday, the day on which the accustomed honors to- our soldier dead were to be paid, bade fair to be a clear and perfect day. The streets had early put on their holiday appearance and people grouped on the sidewalks chatted and talked of the approaching services. Business among the stores was unusually brisk until the hour of ten a. in, when offices, factories and stores were closed and all, employers and employed, united in honoring the day. All the morning the officers of Buckingham Post G. A. R., and the Lockwood Rifles were busy arranging their programmes and preparing for the parade, while Marshal Ellery Clarke, had his hands full in ever— seeing the preparations. The G. A. B. rooms were crowded with members busily engaged in making bouquets and arrang- ing flowers to lay, as a token of love and remembrance, upon , the graves of their dead comrades. Promptly at two p. m., the procession was formed on West av- enue, near the Second M. E. Church, in the following order : -— Fire Police; Marshal Eligry Clarke ; 1 s; EGnard, Mounted; Citizens’ Band of Bethel ; Lockwood Rifles ; Buckingham Post G. A. R. and Veterans ; Flower Wagon; Zouave Drum Corps; Pioneer H. 8; L. 00. and Truck ; Members of Phoenix Engine 00.; e Hope Hose 00., and 01.; Carriages containing Town‘ and Borough Officials, Craters and Clergymcn. At the word of command the procession moved up Mott Place and thence over the route as published in last week’s GAZETTE. Although there was not a general display of bunting, many houses along the line were handsomely and appropriately draped with ‘flags and streamers. Arrivingi at St. Paul’s churchyard a committee of the G. A. R. decorated the graves of the soldiers therezand a salute of three volleys was fired by Lockwood Rifles. The march was then resumed and the procession passed on to Union Cemetery. At the entrance the firemen and the drum corps halted and withdrew from the line, the G.A.R.Post,'Lockwood Rifles, the band and carriages entering the east gates and, passing up one of the 'avenues, counter-marched to the open place near the grave of the late General and Senator O. S. Ferry. Here the ex- ercises were commenced by the choir singing “ Let the Dead and the Beautiful sleep,” during which the G. A. R. com- mittees were busy in decorating their former comradca’ graves. Lockwood Rifles then fired another salute of three rounds, and, it having commenced to rain, marched out of the grounds and to their armory. The Post Memorial exercises being |omitted on account of the rain. Mr. Jas. L. Ambler introduced the Rev. Howard S. Clapp, who delivered a brief but forcible and touching address. At its conclusion the Rev. Mr. Haulenbeek was introduced and, in a twenty minute oration, carried the minds ofIthe veterans back to their battle days. His address was deeply touching and eloquent. The choir and audience than sang “America” and after a benediction by the Rev. S. B. S. Bissell, the procession reformed and- . followed by the crowd, marched to Wall street where it disbanded. In the evening apublic service was held at the Congregational Church and that capaclous edifice was crowded to its full- est extent. At‘ half past seven Prof. Gibson rendered some beautiful organ music at the conclusion of which a hymn was sung and Rev. Arza Hill of South Norwalk oerred an appropriate prayer. The Rev. Mr. Everest then addressed the audience for over an hour, delivering an address that has seldom been equalled and never excelled here in Norwalk. He held the closest attention of the audience and many were moved by his eloquent and stirring words. At the close of Mr. Everest’s address the Rev. Mr. Fuller pronounced a fervent benediction and the audience dispersed. PARADE NOTEs. The parade was an excellent one and reflects great credit upon the organizers as well as the participants. , ' The Pioneer truck was handsomely draped with bunting and formed an im— portant feature in the parade. Miss Lillie, a daughter of J. L. Gregory, becomingly dressed, occupied the driver’s seat, and added to the beauty of the idea. The “jumper" of Hope Hose 00., was one mass of flowers and formed a beauti- ful sight. Willie, a son of P: Slattery, dressed in firemen’s uniform occupied the driver’s seat. The Bethel Band proved itself among the best and its sweet and well-rendered selections were pleasantly received. The Lockwood Rifles presented a fine appearance and marched well. They had forty men in line and showed themselves as good material for soldiery. Buckingham Post G. A. R. bad about 55 men in line and made a very fine show. This Post deserve great credit for their energy as it was mainly due to their labors that the parade and subsequent ceremonies were such a success. Finney and Benedict’s handsome deliv- ery wagon formed a pleasant feature, flll- ed with the flovIIers of the G. A. R., used in decorating the graves. Taken all in all, the parade was a grand success and such as Norwalk may well feel proud of. :5 Panic on the Brooklyn Bridge. A panic occurred on the Brooklyn Bridge about 4 o’clock Wednesday after- noon, in which 12 persons lost their lives, 7 more were so badly injured that death will result, and 35 were seriously hurt. There was a report that the panic was caused by pickpockets, but it seems to have been occasioned by a woman's scream. A lady in going down the flight of steps fell. A policeman saw her fall and ran to catch her. Another lady saw him pulling her away and either through fright or sympathy uttered a piercing shriek. This frightened those who were back other and they pressed on to see what the matter was, with the re- sult above stated. A New Steamboat'At Last. We have received ofliciai communica- tion that, at a meeting of the Knicker bocker Steamboat Company, held' in New York, Saturday noon, it was voted and agreed that a side wheel steamboat be put on the South Norwaik route Saturday June 91h, leaving New York that after- noon. Fare for the round trip 40 cents. Full particulars will be given later in newspapers and by posters. NOTICE TO MARINERS. The bony which marks the location of White Rock, off Kcyser’s Island, has drifted quitea distance from its proper place. The buoy is very imperfectly ran- chorcd and for some time has been shift- ing hither and thither. This rock is a very dangerous one and properly should be blasted out. At any rate the proper authorities should see that the buoy is firmly secured to its correct position. Delayed Freight. Our Norwalk merchants complain of the chronic delay in the arrival of the evening freight train from New York on the Consolidated road. Several heavy losses on the sales of berries and like per- ishable articles, are the results. m . , Attention Hatters. The batting trade though dull is slowly picking up, and in a few weeks the shops will be running on full time again. This will be cheering neWs to the scores of idle batters in this vicinity. l800—NORWALK GAZETTE—1883. We were last weekthe recipient of a congratulatory letter from John G. 90°13!» Esq, of Norwich, one of the oldest, if not the oldest. editor in Con- necticut, and certainly one who has had wider opportunities than any other jour- nalist we know to judge of the qualities of "a newspaper and of its mechanical outfit hnd general make up. In it, he not only enthusiastically commends the (humans a model newspaper for the ‘home circle, in the matter published in its columns, but in its new form and dress, asa remarkably bright and attractively gotten up journal, and is pleased to attri-_ bute its present popularity and prosperity as a creation entirely of our own. We are not only too modest to print our old friend’s enthusiastic and commendatory letter. but are not willing to accept all thepraises he bestows upon us. That we have devoted much earnest and patient labor to maintain for the GAZETTE a high reputation for excellence and make it worthy the place and people who so gen- erously support it is most true,-and‘ it would be an afiectation of modesty and simply false, were we to deny it; but the GAZETTE has been indebted to other earnest and devoted heads and hands for its exceptional growth, good name and prosperity. Messrs. Nichols do Price, Williston Benedict, Timoth Merwin, Thomas B. Butler, James Reed and O. S. Ferry, with many other 'able men, now passed from earth and out of mind of _lhe present generation, have , at different periods during the past three generations, had editorial control of the paper, and the well known ability of all'these men has had the fullest scope in the columns of the GAZETTE, and they had;,elevated it to a position of conspicuous influence among the journals of our State long be- fore it came into our hands. That we have been able to keep up its reputation to a degree acceptable to so many old and new readers,it is all the praise our highest ambition craves. That this is exasperat- ing to our weak and upstart competitors, for local newspaper patronage,is not to be wondered at. Starvelings are invaria- bly cross, envious, malignant and mean. We can afford to be,and we will, be mag- nanimous enough to pity their impotent rage and unprovoked malignity. In gen- erous good nature, we would say to all such, as Uncle Toby did to the poor,'cap- tured fly: “Go, poor devil, this world is large enough for us all.” We wish all contemporaries here as everywhere abund- ant prosperity and success and if those about us;will spend the time and talent they now devote in creaking and snapping and snarling at our heels, in making their sheets as bright, newsy and readable as the GAZETTE, they will the sooner realize their hopes and dreams of becoming self- supporting. The rules for making a good and popular newspaper are simple and easily to be understood by the average in- tellect. The newspaper to be a success must be candid and honest and keep faith with its readers. It must give the news in the least space, and nicely and appr- tiZingly prepared as the good house wife would a meal— for the hungry. Words are like sunbeams, the more they are con- densed the deeper they burn.‘ It must make the pnblic‘s interests its interests. It must make itself an imperative need to somebody, in every mill, on the farm and in shop and store, and at every family fireside. This, We ’are proud to say, is the position we have labored to win for our paper and gratefully, not boastfully, acknowledge a large and unexpected and possibly an undeserved degree of success in our arduous endeavors. At all events, the GAZETTE still lives, 'and is more prosperous than ever before in its long history, despite the cronkings of the en- vions. The New Reservoir. Work was commenced last week on the new storage reservoir for the building of_ which the borough, last fall, made an ap- propriation of $7,000. The :Water Com- missioners have wisely decided to have the work done by day’s labor instead of letting it out by contract, and have en. gaged Mr. Geo. W. Cram as overseer and general manager. The past week has been occupied in clearing away the trees and underbrush and building a road for the carting of stone to the dam. The work will be pushed along as rapidly as possible as the commissioners are determ- ined to keep within the bounds of their appropriation. m A BRAVE to”. Joseph Tammany, Jr.. an employee of the GAZETTE, while endeavoring to extract a paper from the rollers of our mammoth press last Monday night,-caugbt his left hand between two cog wheels. Three of his finger nails were torn: from their roots and the lower part of the fingers badly mashed. Though suffering intense pain, young Tammany went to Gregory’s drug store and had the tips of the crushed fing- ers amputated, without a murmur. His hand is healing rapidly and he is now getting along as well as could be expected. A LUCKY ESCAPE. Last Tuesday morning as Mrs. Wm. H. Smith, accompanied by Mrs. Rev. H. S. Clapp, were descending Flax Hill, South Norwalk, in a “dog cart" the horse stum- bled and fell, throwing the ladies forward over the dashboard. Fortunately the horse did not struggle and the ladies quickly regained their feet unharmed, save a few trivial bruises. The shaft and dashboard of the “dog cart” were broken and the harness more or less damaged, but that being a trivial matter the ladies are thankful toescape so easily. STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL, ETC. Don’t fail to attend the Grand Benin] and Musicale at Lockwood’s Hall to-mor- row and Thursday evenings. The Pie- neers have long been noted for the excel- lencc of their entertainments and as they promise to maintain their reputation in these festivals we can safely say that all who attend will have an enjoyable time. The price of admission has been fixed at the low rate of 15 cents so as to place it within the reach of all. Don’t forget, to- morrow and Thursday evenings at Lock- wood’s Hall. ' .’ That New Avenue. The GAZETTE’s suggestion for the ex tension of Woodward Avenue across the salt meadows to Wilson Point has received the-approving and enthusiastic endorse- ment of many citizens of upper N orwalk, as well as of the city. Engineer Rider says it is not only an entirely feasible project, but one not involving any very great expense, while affording a safe and at” the same time the most beautiful fam- ily drive in all Norwalk. . . Engineer Rose Acquitted. On Friday before Justice Kcelcr in Stamford, the case of Engineer Rose, of - the Consolidated road who was charged with manslaughter,was concluded and the accused was honorably discharged from custody. It was shown'tliat the warning signals had been given, and that young Wood’s death came from non-attention to the signals. S The Foundry Addition. Work on the new addition to Arnold, Doanc & Co’s foundry on Hoyt street, is being rapidly pushed along and it is thought the structure will be completed in about four weeks. It is a handsome addition to the street, and reflects great credit upon the architect and general de- signer, Mr. Geo. B. Smith of Saugatuck. Mr. Smith, by the way, is a talented and accomplished workman and makes arch-, itecture a specialty. The Salvation Army. In New Haven the Salvation army has been forbiddento sing in the streets and malaria has tackled Captain Palmer. An :Important and Valuable Invention. ‘ R. P. Beatty our corner store grocer, was last week granted a patent. on an article which bids fair to work a revolu- tion inithe grocery and fish market world. It is‘cailed a Butter Refrigerator and Exhibitor,and is a marvel of ingenuity. It consists of a large stand somewhat similar to an old fashioned feed box, in which at the top, is an ice chest, while ' way towards the bottom on an inclined lane, “ are four large holes containing as many porcelain lined cast iron tubs, for storing butter or lard, fitted with glass covers. At the top next to the ice is an air cham- ber, into which the warm air enters from a vent hole on the side, is chilled and, descending, circulates nr0und the butter tubs keeping them almoat as cold as the ice itself. This cold air has no outlet and consequently keeps the butter or whatever may be in the refrigerator, at an even temperature. The tubs are so constructed that when opened for the purpose of taking anything out, none of this cold air is sufiered tojcscape. It can be kept at an even temperature of 45 degrees or lower. The refrigerator is ripable of being fitted up as a sideboard also and shelves at the sides which slide into the air chamber allow vegetables, cheese, butter, meats, in short anything. desired, to be placed on them and kept perfectly fresh. . The main features of the invention, however, are: 1st,—Differen‘t grades of butter may be kept alongside each other and the smell from one grade does not affect another ; 2d.—The refrig- erator being absolutely air tight does not require half the ice ordinarily used, yet maintains as low a temperature; 3d.—No ‘ odors come from the chest and communi- ' cation with the articles stored therein may be made without the loss of an ounce of cold air; 4th.—The ice chest will only need refilling once in five or six days; 5th.—It allows an exhibit of the articles contained therein without their being withdrawn from the influence of the ice. Mr. Beatty made application for his patent on April 17th and on May 29th received notice of its grant. One hour after receiving this notice he had one in his store and in practical operation. He has since had an order for one hundred of them, but has not yet decided to man- ufacture. He has also had several ap- plicants for agencies, but is obliged at present to refuse them. The model has been exhibited through the South, and orders from that section pour in every day. The patent granted covers a similar arrangement of a fish exhibitor for fish markets though Mr. Beatty has not as yet put this into working form. Mr. Beatty, in case of his manufactur- ing these refrigerators will. empldy none but local talent, and for this he is to be commended. Of the sample now in his store, the iron puts which hold the butter were cast by Arnold, Donne & 00., from patterns made by A. 0. Arnold; the carpenter work was done by Platt Price, and the zinc lining by E. K. Lockwood. The invention is in working order at Mr. Beatty’s store where he do- lights ln exhibiting its merits to any one interested in it. ' Picon-Bltters. _ Our friend Beatty at the corner grocery has secured the sole agency for the above remedy which is a well known and pop- ular French preparation with highly tonic and anti-febrile properties. The Picon is sold in France by the million bottles so popular has it become as a cure for de- bility, derangements of stomach and liver, etc. It is made from plants grow- ing in Algeria and so great has been its curative qualities that at the Paris exhi- bition of 1878 it received the exceptional honor of the Cross of the Legion of Honor. In Washington it is used in the hospital and quite generally commended and prescribed by the medical faculty for malaria. We are personally connizant of its having broken up a severe case of chills of long standing, after a short trial, and know of many cases of prostration, de- bility and dyspepsia, greatly and immed- . lately relieved by it and we confidently récommend the ailing to give Picon a trial. It comes in quart bottles and isa pleasant bitters. ‘ A Lady Lawyer. Mrs. Ruth D. Havens, sister of Dr. Emily Pardee, at the annual commence- mcnt exercises of the law department of Howard University, Washington, D. 0., last Monday evening, says the Washington Post, “Won the favor of the audience by the impressive way In which she read her essay on ‘Popular Study of Law.’ She claimed that the children of a Republic should learn in the common schools the history of its laws, and especially the con- stitution of their country and the science of its government, also, that as everyone was supposed to know the law, and not excused for its violation, everyone should be given opportunity to learn it. She gained hearty applause when she said :— ‘It cannot be too often urged that such works as Cooley’s Constitutional Limita- tions and Blackstone’s Commentaries be used as text books in our higher institu- tions of .learning.- Politicians would then be less dangerous, ministers less tedious, and shysters would be fewer.’ Upon the conclusion of her thesis she was saluted with repeated rounds of applause.” m A Bold Rascal. I. H. Lockwood, who was recently tried before Judge Woodward here On complaint of Danbury parties for an at- tempt to swindle by means of bogus ad- vertisements, has come to grief again, this time at Stepney. He sent “confiden- tial” circulars to bank cashiers, &c., all over the country. to the effect that, under the provisions of an old will, he had the interest of $480,000 to loan to the said employees to cover up any irregularity in their accounts, provided they made full confession to him. -He was successful in inducing a few confessions of defalcations and armed with these admissions black- mailed the poor victims. lie has been ar- rested and held for trial. It'is reported that Lockwood worked in collusion with the Postmaster at Stepney and that the latter, though arrested, has left for parts unknown. Hard Luck. -As Assistant Postmaster Hubbell was riding his bicycle at a rapid rate, near the Episcopal Church last Tuesday, his ma- chine struck a stone and Mr. Hubbell was thrown over the fore wheel with great violence. The shock rendered him uncon- scious and he was thus discovered by the Rev. Mr. Clapp who applied restoratives and finally succeeded in bringing him to. Mr. Hubbell’s face was badly bruised and be was considerably shaken up. He re- .msined in the house until Friday‘when he was able to attend to his official duties. This is the second accident of the kind that has happened to Mr. H: within a month and he is beginning to believe that his pedal extremities are the safest pro- pellors. . ,_ Good. Beatty Bros. have turned out about three times as many straw hats this season, as ever before. This is a most gratifying showing, when the backwardness of; the season and dullness in manufacturing. generally, is considered. Mr. Wm. H. Gardiner, of this city, who has been employed as clerk at the Hamil. ton hotel Hamilton, Bermuda, all‘winter', returned here Sunday night. The propri- etor of the hotel was Mr. George C. Mead formerly of this city, and later proprietor, of several hotels in Boston. Mr. Mead, whose sickness we mentioned not long ago, died at his hotel in Hamilton on the 201b, of consumption. He is said to have been a popular landlord. Half a dozen Bridge: porters'visited Bermudathis Winter. Mr; Mead’s body will be brought tofNorwalk for interment next yeah—Bridgepm-flfltaw dam. Correspondence. “We lea It." Scorn Nonwanx, May 28. Barrens GAZETTE: ' The severe thunder storm and heavy rain on the morning of Tuesday last, has again enriched our hydrant water, so that we are now enjoying our beverage to re- pletion, with its rich color, and teeming accompaniments of soil, vegetable, min- eral and zoological matter. It is a sur. prise to us here that any borougbites should demand through the columns of the GAZETTE that there should be a filter placed pt the distributing reservoir of the borough water works, and we are inclined to think that such persons are not proper- ly posted in the use of public water. If they would come to this city and become acquainted by the use of our nutritious water, we are inclined to believe that they would with us say, “we like it.” It ‘has‘ become a question of serious importance with us how long can Huckleberry Hills respond to our demands for rich and un- tritious water? And my object in writ! ing. is to request some one or more experts who are familiar with the region to estio‘ mate how mdny years‘ supply of the component parts of our city water in the: shape of earthy, mineral, vegetable, and animal matter, there still remain to come, down our mains, and to report the same through the columns of your paper. If the supply is to fail, we had better be prepared for the worst, and seek in other, lands, what we have so long enjoyed here. -. ‘ ' , . ANTI FILTER. # Roll of Honor.

Senator and Mrs. Platt arrived home on the three o’clock express Wednesday from the Adirondacks, where they had been the past two weeks fixing up their summer residence there. Both are in excellent health and have been benefitedziby the trip. The senator looks almost as brown on a farmer, and on that remark being made to him, he said he had been farming on asmall scale, such as burning brush, planting a garden, etc. He had one day’s good fishing during his trip. The senator will be in the state most of June, and will start again for his mountain home in July, to be gone until September.—Meriden Republican. ‘ Lizzie Ells, Brother Byington has been enlarging the “dear old GAZETTE” of Norwalk, to a ten column paper and giving it a new dress and make up.

Experience teaches that it makes an In- dian doctor just as mad to mistake him for a poet as it does a poet to mistake him for an Indian doctor. One reason why so few travelers lose their lives at the burning of hotels, says the Detroit Free Press, is that "the great ' majority of them stay out nights until it is too late for. an incendiray barkeepcr to burn a hotel. ‘ ' Near Metz a tame hear was walking in the woods and suddenly came upon an Alsatian hunter, who pointed his gun to fire, when the bear stood on his hind legs and danced.

Mort Hoyt’s drug store, charged with breaking into freight cars with intent to, steal, and, second, for attaching themselves to cars without permission with design to ride without paying. From testimony of witnesses it appeared that the boys were first seen on Friday at Milford station in a freight car, again at Bridgeport where they were driven out, and once more in this city. Reaching Stamford the conductor noticed the boys on the'trnin. and concluding they were there for no good purpose, caused their arrest and detention till Sat- urday when they were brought here as stated.

Speaking of the work done by the Chicago Relief and Aid Society, he said it handled over $5,000,000 in money alone and accounted for every dollar; that it received contri- butions of money, food or clothing. from every state in the Union, and almost every country on the globe; that it assisted 456.968 persons, all but 21.092 of whom were of foreign birth, and that it built 7,983 houses for persons unable to rebuild with their own means, and that every one of these had repaid the society the money borrowed for that purpose.
