Manufacturing. _
There is dullness in the business of
the New England wool manufacturers,
and as usual these gentlemen are explain-
ing-the depressed condition of the trade
by assigning acause that has not produced
or even helped to produce the effect they
deplore. They say that the change of
duties in the new tariff is the cause of the‘
depression. The Boston Journal takes
up this complaint of the tariff and effect-
ually disposes of it. That paper admits
that this might have been a. good reason
if the tariff “had gone into operation three
or six months since, but it does not seem
to be valid now since foreign goods now
on the market must have paid the rate of
duties which has prevailed for years.
Nor does the volume of imports of
woolens during the past few months
indicate that the British agents here are
preparing to flood our market with goods
after the lower tariff goes into operation.
The bonded warehouses would building
up with foreign woolens if they were
about to make a push. Furthermore, the
stagnation began months ago and cannot,
therefore, be attributed to tariff reduc-
tion. The Jour-omlfthen goes on to prove
that the depression is due to other causes.
It shows that there has been a too large
production of certain grades of goods and
a failure to attempt to compete for the
better grades of woolen goods. The im-
portation of woolens have been large
during the past two years, but it has been
confined to a grade of goods which our
manufacturers have not undertaken to
produce in any considerable quantity,
and which, it is claimed by importers and
custom tailors, American manufactured;
cannot produce. The Journal thinks the
home competition has put upon our mar-
kets a larger and better quality of common
goods at lower prices for the quality than
was ever offered before to American
consumers, but urges, as a remedy for the
prevailing dullness and as a [preventative
of further trouble, that our manufacturers
should turn their attention to a better class
of goods—should compete for the home
trade in grades of goods now supplied by
foreign mills. This seems like good advice
and the manufacturers should not too hast-
ily reject it.
Our upper “Norwalk Mills" long ago
made the discovery suggested above and
acted promptly upon it. Its finest cass-
imers have been pronounced fully as good
as the best imported goods of which they
were of such close imitation that in many
instances even experts were deceived and
believed them of foreign manufacture.
These grades of goods are now being
manufactured by the Union Manufactory
as well and are so popular in the markets
that the stocks of these two factories are
eagerly sought for.
Any factory adopting the policy of the
“Norwalk Mills” in making our American
goods equal iii quality to foreign manu-
factures cannot fail [to be successful.
The long tarifl’ discussion in Congress
practically lost one season to nearly all
American manufacturers, and that was
all there is in _it. Their “good times
coming" were {only defered a little sea-
son, aud we shall greatly mistake all
present indications if there is not a brisk
fall trade, especially in woolen goods.
' Buyers of Jersey Cows.
Fifty-one lots of imported Jersey cattle
were sold by auction at the American
Horse Exchange, New York, Thursday,
for about $17,500. The cattle were the
property of Mr. P. Gossett of Bagot Man-
or, Island of Jersey. Mr. W. R. Mc-
Cready of Saugatuck, purchased 'Roxy, a
silver gray six year old cow, for $600.
W. K. Vanderbilt bought King’s Satisfac-
tion, a dark brown cow, for $800; and
May, a golden fawn cow, five years old,
for$390. J. Lyon Gardiner of Gardiner’s
Island bought Star of Cicero, a yellow
fawn heifer, for $500.
A Defaulter and Fugitive.
Charles C. Moore, Town Clerk of Litcb-
field, has come to grief, and has disap—
peared. He is accused of forgery, swind-
ling several merchants and stealing the
town funds. The amount of his defalca-
tions is estimated at about $2,000. He
was married recently to a young lady con
nected with one of the most respected
families of Litchfield, was himself univer-
sally honored up to the discovery of his
misdeeds. It is alleged that drink led to
his crime. There are no traces of, his
whereabouts. '
Medical Exa miners.
County Coroner Holt has appointed
Dr. W. C. Burke, J r., of South Norwalk,
medical examiner for the town of Norwalk
for the term of three years. Under the
law it is now the duty of any person
finding a dead body, to notify Dr. Burke,
who will at once take charge of the body
and make lawful disposition 0f the same.
All of the coroner’s appointments are
not, as yet, made public, but It is learned
that Dr. A. E. Barbour has been appointed
for the teen of Bethel and Dr. F. Powers
for Westport. -
Consolidation.
By the consolidation of the two Con-
necticut Internal _Revenue districts and
the removal of Collector Selden from
Norwich to llartford, our old friend Da-
vid F. Hollister who was commissioned
by President Lincoln in 1862, returns to
the practice of the law in Bridgeport.
Mr. H. has had such a constant deal with
law questions as Collector, that he has had
no chance to get rusty, and he will again
resume his aforetimc place asaleading
member of the Fairfield County Bar.

Disgraceful.
The rum sold Saturday nights and Sun-
days about our town. seems to have more
light in it to the square inch, than that
sold throughout all other days and nights
of the week. Several disgraceful fights
occurred Saturdayl night and Sunday, and
Chief Lockwood gave one party of “slug—
gers” a lively race through Bclden and
Franklin Avenues just as the churches
were out. He has two of them in the
lock-up, with more to come in.

I— Trade adios.
An effort is being made reform the
trade dollar out of circulation with an ul-
terior view of forcing Congress to cause
their withdrawal. This it will undoubt—
edly do at its next session, and all who are
able to hold them had better do so, as in-
trinsically they are worth more than the
legalized dollar of our daddies.
High Honors. '
Herbert Smith, the scholarly son of
Will. Randlc Smith, Esq., not only won
the high honor of A. B. at his recentrl
graduation at old Yale, bill. the higher
honor of being accorded an oration. His
unfortunate illness prevented him from
publicly availing himself of this hard
won prize on commencement day.
Damages from the Consolidated.
III New York Saturday, Judge Dyke-
mall announced that he would appoint a
commission to determine the damages to
be awarded the owners of land taken for
the New York, New Haven and Hartford
railway for widening their track.
A Danhury Man Killed.
Arthur Platt of Danbury, while attempt-
lng to board a train at Bethel Saturday
evening on the Danbury do Norwalk road,
fell between the cars,thrce of them passing
over his body, mangling it horribly.
The Board of Aldermen passed an ordi-
nance yesterday which forbidsthc sale
or disposal to minors of my pistols, or

powder, the penalty for its Violation being

Another Land Mark Gone.
The public are greatly indebted to
Treasurer Miller for the pulling down and
removal or the old Mott edifice.’ which
has for so many years disfigured ono' of
the prettiest and most conspicuous build—
ing sites in town. Upon becoming the
owner of the Carter place, Mr. Miller at
once realized what a damage to his new
acquisition this ancient “eye sore” was
and purchased it with a view to its re-
moval. One half of.it was sold to Thomas
McCarty, who removed it around upon his
seven by nine lot on Union place, where
it continues to disfigure and depreciate
the value of adjoning properties. The
other half was happily put where it would
do the most good, i. 6., into kindling
wood.. Builder Turney' superintended
the work of demolition, while every pub-
ic spirited citizen of Norwalk, who ap-
preciates its unrivalled beauties and he-
lieves in the greatness and glory of‘our
town’s future, felt as the attackwas made
upon the old edifice, like breaking forth
into cxhnbcrent song and in the words :—
“Believing we rejoice to see the curse rc-
movei ”
It is nevertheless well to remember that in
the primitive days of Norwalk, this old
Mott House was, when first built, not
only the most elegant one in town, but
the most ornate and pretentious stage
house between New ,Haven and New
York. It was built way back in the fore
noon of the century by the late Uriah
Seymour, and was the halting place ‘of
the New York and Boston Mail Stage
Line,when “CharleyPartrick”used to hold
the ribbons and clip a fly from his leader’s
ear with the cracking silk at the end of
his flying lash. Here too, our local
militia used to execute their uncouth and.
awkward “training day” manouvres. An
old citizen tells us anent the above, that
the only way the Norwalk company
could be lined was by the captain forcing
them back against the front of the build-
ing on the stoop. The merriment, the
jollity, the blazing wood fires, the good
cheer and table fare, are all faded from
the memory of men, and only a few are
new living who remember the aged host
and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Mott,
who so sweetly “went home” within a
few hours of each other, after having
lived and toiled together for about three-
fourths of a century. So mote it‘bc. So
goes this rushing practical world. So too,
inafew years, will pass away all who
ever knew the history and inmates of the
old Mott House. and so soon, will all liv~
ing, be forgotten when we are dead.
Serious Accident.
While Mr. John Roe was driving home
from work last Monday evening his horse
became frightened at a dog which ran out
from a door yard on the Spring Hill road,
and ran away. Mr. Roe succeeded in sub-
duing the horse but when opposite Mr. T,
Silk’s .house and going at a fast gait, his
wagon wheel struck a ledge of rocks and
he was thrown out. He struck headlirst
on the stonewall at the side of the road,
cutting a deep geek in his head and se—
verely injuring his arm. Meanwhile the
horse had continued running hilt was
stopped on Catherine street. Dr. Gregory
was summoned to attend Mr. Roe and
sewed up the gash in his head. He is
now getting along as well as could be ex
pected.

The Oyster Grounds.
The shell fish commissioners met at
New Haven last Monday. Mr. Peck of
Bridgeport was summoned before them
under the law of 1882, to disclose by what
right he held certain oyster grounds, ex—
hibited title deeds under the two acre
law. They had not been recorded, hilt
the title Will now be perfected. Tooker,
of Darien, is summon'ed. to appear under
the same law two weeks hence. This
week the board will locate a natural oyster
bed off the towns of Norwalk and Darien,
near Noroton, or as the coast survey map
has it, Noroton point. There are a num—
ber of applications which cannot be heard
until this is done.

Manglcd by a Locomotive.
[SPECIAL TO THE wom.n.]
NOBWALK, Coma, June 26.— While
crossing the track at Stamford yesterday
Herman O. Evarts slipped ilnder ihe en-
gine of the 7 o’clock train and was imme-
diately killed. Such a horrible case of
mangling has seldom occurred. The head
and legs were completely severed from the
body, and the trunk was ground to a
pulp. He was a resident of the Soldiers’
Home at Darien, and employed by the
Yale Lock Company in Staniford.——N. X.

accidents last year, of which 18 proved
fatal; in Massachusetts 39, of which 26
produced death; in Pennsylvania, 12, of
which 10 were fatal; in Connecticut, 10,

Man ~sfiior on the Consolidated.
An elderly man, supposed to he a
tramp, was struck by the 10 o’clock a. m.
up express Saturday, this side of Spring—
wood, and brought to the South Norwalk
depot. Selectman Sammis called Dr.
'Clark to him who found his left arm
broken. He was taken to the Aims House
for further treatment. Conductor Lock—
wood says his train has narrowly missed
hitting the same person twice before.

War on the Trade Dollar.
New York merchants have commenced
a decisive war on the trade dollar of which
so many arein circulation here. They
refuse to receive .it except at its intrinl
sic value,‘viz., 85 cents, and the banks
are pursuing the same course.

The Buckingham Statue.
The commission on the Buckingham
statue met in New York on the 27th ult.,
every member being present. They ex-
pressed themselves highly pleased with
the model, and they are :of the opinion
that the State will have not only a good
statue, but also a very fine work of art.
The clay model has yet to undergo its
finishing touches and the filll sized model
of the pedestal is yet to be made.
The commission are of the opinion that
the statue will not be unveiled until the
General Assembly has convened, and at
such time as will insure pleasant weather,
probably in April or May. To judge
from the expression of opinion from the
old soldiers in this vicinity, we should
say that there will be a gathering of the
veterans of this state in Hartford on this
occasion that will equal if notexceed the
number which attended the battle flag
ceremonies. Of one fact we are positive
no son of Connecticut could possibly be
more worthy of the honors about to be
conferred than that heroic christian' states. .

' . AN HONORED OLD AGE.
Mr. Eli B. Bennet is now, in his 92nd.
year. having rounded out 91 years of life
on Sunday, June 24. This venerable
citizen who was born during General
Washington’s first presidential term, and
has lived under the administrations of
still in the enjoyment of good health, and
is able to walk from his residence td’ the
village once or twice a week and also
walks to and from church nearly every
Sunday. Mr. Bennct’s sight and hearing
are remarkably good', and his- memory
serves him to relate many interesting
reminiscences of olden times. He dis-
tinctly remembers having had the honor
of shaking hands with the Marquis Dc
Lafayette, at a reception tendered him by
the citizens of Norwalk about 60 years
ago. on the occasion of his farewell visit
to this country. '
Harvard Wins.
The university race on the Thames river
at New London Thursday, was an event
that created a great deal of intesrcsf.
Harvard won by twenty boat lengths,
thus heating Yale badly. The time was:
Harvard, 25 minutes, 46%] seconds; Yale,
26 minutes, 59 seconds. The defeat of
Yale is attributed toovertraining and a
bad stroke, and perhaps if they would
take the advice of Fred Wood, their old
“coach" who has trained them for so many
battles in which victory perched upon
their banners, and discard the short,
quick, choppy stroke which has proved
disastrous on two successive occasions.
they would have a better chance of win-
ning hereafter. .
More Burglarsl
The old adage that lightning never
strikes twice in the same place is set at
naught by the developments of the past
week. In last week’s GAZETTE we gave
an extended account of the deprcdations
of thieves in the northern part of the
town. One of the houses then visited was
that of Josiah Kellogg, bilt the thieves
were unable to effect an entrance. On
Thursday night of the past week, the
thieves tricdiit again blit being again
foiled, on Saturday night, made still an-
other attempt at entrance, but with the
same result. Earlier in the week two at-
tempts were made to enter the house of
near neighbors of Mr. Kellogg, but owing
to the vigilance of .the inmates they were
ill cachficasc,unsuccessful. Although noth
ing has been stolen the past week, the
boldness and frequency of these nightly
visits have so thoroughly ;aronsed the in-
habitants of that section, that an old
fashioned “vigilance committee” is being
talked of.

Changes in Twecd’s 01d Club House.
Those who used to visit the Americus
Club House during the days of Tweed
would hardly recognize the place today.
All this spring carpenters and masons have
been at work-building, altering, and. re-
pairing about the premises. .The old club
house remains the same, but just north of
it an annex has been erected as large as
the club house. New barns and billiard
rooms have been built, and the whole ap-
\pearance of this lovely spot has changed
very decidedly. The old “Big Six” liber—
ty cap is still to be seen on an iron pole,
which is embedded in a rock a few feet
above tide water, and the aces of spades,
clubs, hearts and diamonds painted on the
rocks about the house have not been eras-
ed, and serve to bring vividly to mind the
once regal splendor of the Americas Club
house.
The rebuilding and enlarging of the
Club House was done by Mertz 8: Son, of
Port Chester,whose buildera’ adv. appears
every week in the GAZETTE. They are
also the architects and builders of the
pretty little Queen. Anne Cottage now be-
ing completed 'on Bclden Avenue.
Rev. Mr. Everest conducted the com-
munon services in a most impressive
manner, Sunday morning at the First
Congregational Church. In the evening,
he treated his hearers, (who so crowded
the house that chairs had to he brought
into the aisles) to a fourth of July sermon,
on “Christain Faith inspiring Patriotism."
At the conclusion of his discourse, Prof.
Johnston stepped out and upon the pulpit
platform and presented him in wellchoscn
words, with an envelope containing an
expreision of the sentiments of the church
towards the eloquent preacher, and as is
also stated, though no mention was made
of it, a vocation gift of three hundred
dollars. Mr. Everest with emotion rcs-
ponded most happily, hilt gave no sign as
to whether he would be able to return to
this pulpit again in the fall, as is so
ardently desired by church and people.
Base Ball. ' I
Last Tuesday afternoon at Oyster Shell .
Point, the Alphas of the borough defeated l
the Echoes of Stamford, after an exciting
game. Barring the first three' innings
when by loose playing a total of 23 runs
was made, the game was well played and
interesting. The game was marked by
several fine double plays by the Alphas,
one each in the 1st, 7th. and 9th innings.
In the 2d innings the Stamfords batted
Bogardus all over the field hilt .ilpon Grace
being substituted as pitcher, thereafter
did little more than strike out. At the
end of the first half of the 9111 inning the
score stood 16 to 14 in favor of Stamford
but the Alphas by sharp base running
aided by a tremendous hit by Partrick
to center fielii,%:ilcc ceded in getting four
earned runs, thus winning the game.
The following is the score by innings ;'
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9—Tolill
Echoes— 1 4 7 1 1 O 0 1 1—16
Alplias— 2 3'6 0 O 0 1 2 4~18
On Thursday the Stars defeated the
lont street nine after a splendidly con-
tested game, by a’score of 9 to 3.
Errata.
Last week we were incorrectly informed
that Mr. Wm. B. Nash had been elected
a director of the Union Manufacturing
Co., to fill the vacancy caused by the
death- of Stiles Curtis, Esq. The
article should have read—to fill the va-
cancy caused by the resignation of F. D.
Barstow. We also stated on what seemed
good authority that Mr. Wm. McCormack
had been found in the D. & N. R. R.
tunnel drunk. Mr. McC. has since in-
formed ‘us that he was not drunk, .only
tired and sleepy.

Tile subject of this notice Mrs. Louisir
Jarvis Wetmore, widow of Capt. Henry
A. Wetmore, and daughter of our vener-
able townsman Jas. W. Pinkney. died in
this place day bc'fore yesterday. Mrs.
Wetmorc was not only a lady of culture,
and elevation of mind and tone, but pos-
sessed of talents and energy and filled with
generous thoughts which impressed them-
selves upon her speech and actions. She
linsunweariedly devoted herself to the
interests and happiness of others, and has
left behind her the memory of a loving
parent and very cherished friend. She
has of late years resided in the city of
Brooklyn, N. Y., but threatened (luring
the early weeks of the coming year with
serious illness, was brought to Nor-
walk,and after~months of brave battling
against the inroads of a dread disease,
which has at length gained the upper
hand, she departed on Sunday morning
last with calm trust in the Redeemer, and
in the hope of immortal hiessedness, and
will be‘laid beside the fond husband of
her youth, and the saintcd mother of her
affections. in our Union Cemetery. Her
funeral will take place from the residence
of her father on Thursday afternoon next.
oATIIAnINn JARVIS,
One whose name has been a familiar
one in all of our older homes, Miss Cath.
crinc Jarvis of Main- street, ended this
life last Friday morning. Belonging to a
branch of a family of which ‘our ancient
town may well be proud, this good wo-
man inherited thosc sterling virtues of
character which were the excellence of so
many of a goneby day. The children of
the Norwalk of the present time have but
little occasion to be ashamed of their
fathers, and Miss J arvis was a native of a
race concerning the worthies of which it
cannot be said that lethargy deadcncd
their faculties. She has been both active
and useful, the type of that lofty man-
hood and womanhood which never loses
sight of the‘faet that life consists in doing.
She has been beloved also—preaching in
her daily walk the doctrines of peace and
months or more she has suffered from the
malady which finally terminated her
days. Sile has borne the gradual breaking
up of life with resolute fortitude, and in
christian submission. She was an earnest
church woman and faithful member of
St. :I’aiil’s Church, from the communion
of which she will be missed. Her mcdié
cal adviser has been one of our most skill-
ful and faithful physicians whose attention
to his patient has been devotion itself.
The family and her only surviving
brother in particular, have the sympathy
of our community.
FRANK n. mars.
Frank E. Mills, youngest son of Susan
and the late Charles Mills, 'died of heart
disease June 26, 1883, aged 30 years,1
month, and 26 days. He has recently
been engaged ill New Orleans in the oil
business with the firm of Mead &Rilcker,
of Maiden Lane N. Y. His remains were
forwarded to Silvermine Cemetery where
the. funeral services were attended by a
large" number of relatives and friends. He
was a kind and loving son and brother,
energetic, ambitious and faithful to busi—
ness trusts. By his genial and kindly
disposition at home or abroad he won
many friends who deeply regret his and-
pcn departure and will miss his pleasant
companionship.
THOMAS MCCARTHY.
Thomas McCarthy, well known about
Norwalk as a stone mason and tar walk
layer, died very suddenly and in terrible
agony last week. He had been greatly
exercised over the moving of a portion of
the old Mott house on his lot on Union~
Place and had no doubt unduly exposed
and over excited himself. He also drank
excessively of cold water and the suppo-
sition is that he died of angina pectoris,
or fatal pressure of distended stomach
upon the heart. He, was a good mechan-
ic and a hard working Irishman, with his
greatest fault against himself, and was a
man who will be missed. IIis funeral
was largely attended from St. Mary's.
Church Saturday morning.

Hair Oil.

an ounce has been used from it in that
time. It has not been so very long ago
that nine tenths of the patrons of barber

A Tree Climbing Snake.
One day last week, Frank Farrel, '
gardener to Ex-Mayor Ely. while at work
on land of Mr. Ely, West Norwalk, heard
agreat commotion among the robins in
an apple tree in an adjoining lot, and on
going to the tree, saw a snake that had
climbed the tree to a height of fifteen
feet, with a. half grown robin in its
month, which the snake was in the act of
gorging. Frank went to his wagon, loaded
his gun, and went back and shot the
snake,~who fell to the ground with a
thud, the robin still only partially swal-
lowed. The snakc proved to bealargc
black one, measuring 4% feet in length.

The new foot bridge accross the railroad

A Sontli Norwiilk correspondent says,
that the telephone at his residence is con-
stantly out of working order, frequently
for a day or more at a time, and the an—
noyance in consequence of such defeat is
so frequent that unless the line is put in
-proper order he will be obliged to have
it removed from his premises. The
line if properly put up should be made
right ilt once, and we hope that the proper
person will see to it, and thus prevent any
further cause of complaint.
The taxpayers of the,city are becoming
alarmed in consequence of the neglect of
former, and the present council, in not
having the trees in the highways removed
the trunks of which project beyond the
curb lines of the streets, as the city would
be obliged to pay all damages caused by
such neglect. Such obstructions are? to be
found .in lower portion of West Avenue,
Main Street, Union and" several other
streets where curb lines have been estab-
lished by the city, and .curbs set, leaving
the trees standing from a few inches to
more than one foot outside of the estab-
lished line. ‘ :
Much complaint is heard in consequence
of the filthy state of the hydrant water,
and various propositions are heing‘dis-
cussed how.to remedy the evil; among
others, that of holding a public meeting
for the purpose of asking the Water Com-
missioners to resign,so as to allow the
citizens a chance to elect others, who will
adopt measurcs to give the water takers,
many who are dependent on public water
(having no wells or cisterns), something
besides the swamp muck and animal com-
pound now furnished. In a. discussion
last week between a Danburian and a
South Norwalkcr, with reference to the
public water of the two places, the city
man wound ilp his argument with the fol-
lowing: "Well. what if your water
stinks the most? Oilr’s is the richest in
mild and filth, and makes the richest
soup stock.”
