OUR NEW ASSOCIATE.
, In announcing the accession of MR.
FRANK E. BMW to the editorial staff of
the GAZETTE, it is proper that we should
state that he was selected not alone be-
cause of his long and always popular
and successful journalistic experience,
but also because we knew him to lze a
gentleman in every sense of the word,
with every faculty alert, who never lets a
news item escape him, and who,moreover
has that rarest of all sense, in newspaper
work, of knowing what to keep out as well
as what to put in the paper. He is
already entirely familiar with all subjects
of state interest, our public men and
measures, and will soon make himself
equally well acquainted with our local
friends and affairs. We cordially com-
mend him to the patrons of the GAZETTE,
as the "right man in the right place.”
The following clips show the esteem in
which Mr. Beach is held, where best
known :—
' From the Waterbury American.
Mr. Frank E. Beach, who has been con-
nected with the American for nearly 11
years, most of the time in the capacity of
city editor, has resigned his position, the
resignation taking effect at the close of
last week. Mr. Beach is an enthusiastic
newspaper man, a faithful and untiring
worker, and thoroughly acquainted with
the mechanical operations of a newspaper
office as well as with the requirements of
the editorial position. His, long and
efficient services, and his connection with
the ofilce dating back farther than that of
mdst of his associates, together with his
high personal qualities, will cause him to
be greatly missed by those who have
labored with him and have undertaken
the burden he has laid down. The best
wishes for his future success in whatever
he may undertake will go with him from
all who knew him both in- the office and
throughout the city. .
From the Meriden Press Recorder.
Frank E. Beach, after 11 years of faith-
ful service-as city editor of the Waterbury
American, has severed his connection with
that paper. Mr. Beach is one of the best
known, most popular and capable news-
paper men in the state. His thorough
acquaintance with state matters, political
and social, has been one of the chief
sources of the American’s success. Mr.
Beach was two years president of the
Connecticut Reporters’ association and in
that capacity made warm friends of every
one with whom he had dealings. He has
the best wishes ofall his acquaintances
for his success, nomattcr what line of
work he may adopt.‘

A Faulty Layout of the Olmstead Parallel.
Since Jan. 31 some 17 hearings regard-
ing the layout of the Olmstead Parallel or
the New York and Connecticut Air Line
railroad have been held by the railroad
commissioners. The last one was at the
Mayor’s office in Bridgeport last Wednes-
day. The Olmstead road was represented
by Alvin P. Hyde of Hartford, Attorney
Levi Warner of Norwalk, Samuel E.
Olmstead, president, Chief Engineers
Scubarth and H. G. Scubaith, Attorney
2 T. W. Downs and H. R. Parrott, direc-
tors. Simeon E. Baldwin of New Haven
appeared for the Hartford and Harlem
company. The last section to pass upon
is that extending from a point in the town
of Westport to the New York line a dis-
tance of about twenty miles. To sum up,
the commissioners found a faulty layout
and the changes to be made are such radi-
cal ones that parties in interest must be
notified. The commissioners decided to
go over the survey from New Haven to
Westport August 9th, and . will .meet at
the Derby depot in New Haven at 10 a.
m. that day. Concerning the western sec-
tion notices must be given to all parties
in interest by the court, and the petition-
ers must draw a new application.
DEATH OF LORENZO UUBBELL.
This venerable and respected citizen
and native of Norwalk, departed this life
at the old family hbmestead on Main
street, on Tuesday last after a short but
painful attack of pneumonia. Many years
ago'he was a large shoe manufacturer,
sending his products principally to the ex-
treme south, Mobile and New Orleans be-
ing his principal markets. Mr. H. was
respected by all who ever knew him, and
leaves the record of an honest, upright
ife.
A Singing Festival.
The Germania Saengerbund of South
NorWalk are making great preparations
for a singing festival which is to be held
at Roton Point on the 6th day of August.
The Fidalia Society of this place and the
German Concordia and Saengerbund so-
cieties of Danbury have been invited and.
have signified their acceptance and it
is confidently expected that one of the
best times and the sweetest music of the
season willbe had when the appointed
day rolls around.
’
A Destructive Earthquake.
An earthquake on Saturday night near-
ly destroyed the town of Casamicciola on
the island of Isehia near Naples, and two
neighboring towns were greatly damaged.
It is estimated that in the former place 3,-
000 person were killed. Ahotel sank in
the earth and buried many of its inmates.
Great excitement was aroused in Italy as
there were 2,000 visitors, includihg Nea-
politan and Roman families at Isehia, who
were taking baths there.
Digging Cold From the Ruins.
Mr. Robert Ross of Bridgeport, had in
a desk which went through the Howe shop
fire $1,500 in bills and $550 in gold, about_
$400 of the latter being in 320 gold pieces.
Mr. Ross dug out of the ruins $350 in
gold. The hills, which were rolled upl
were completely charred through and
when touched crumbled to pieces. Some
of the gold had melted but some of it rc-
mained intact.l
Senor Barca‘s Death.
The sadsuicide Sunday of the Spanish
Minister,flScnor Barca, shows that great
mental ,lstrain often tells when private
trbublc ls added to the pressure of state-
craft. |t is not many months since the
Austrian Minister to France died by his
nwn’band. The suicide of PrevostParadol
in Washington in 1870 is also recalled by
Senor Barca 8 death.

ion there may be in- it) of being the first
one who contributed his dollar towards
swelling the subscription list of the Semi-

The electric rain storm of Saturday
seems to have spread over an unusually
wide area of country and with unusual
violence. The rain fall in this vicinity
was for a few minutes, almost unprece-
dented. Gutters were overflowed, cellars
flooded, and streets and grounds badly
washed. The side-walk, in front of the
residence “of Dr. Phinney -was several
inches under water and several feet of
water flowed into ‘his collar. The walk
fronting Mrs. Samuel Lynes' homestead
became impassable for a time, and a lake
of water covered Wall street from the
Danbury Railroad plank covering up to
Isaacs’ bill. This daming up of the water
here at every heavy rain should be
remedied without further delay. It is
useless to urge that all this water used to
run down Wall street into the river at the
bridge, before the roofing of the Danbury
track raised the grade of the street so as
to create a dam there. Either the railroad
should be induced to lower their tunnel
covering by the introduction of iron rafters,
or what would probably be cheaper and
better, alarge sewer should be cut down to
the docks, through the Lynes place at
such depth as not to injure the property,
and thus this constant annoyance of flood-
ed streets and sidewalks at once and for-
ever abated.

Capiain Webb‘s Fatal Plunge.
The noted English swimmer, Capt. Mat-
.thew Webb, lost his life last week in a
foolhardy attempt to swim the whirlpool
rapids at Niagara. He sprang from a
skiff at a point in the river opposif’e the
old Maid of the Mist landing, and his
shoot of the rapids was intensely thrilling.
When he struck the whirlpool he was
rushed to the American side where the
waves run from 30 to 40 feet high, and
when last seen he was throwing up one
arm. His body was found floating in the
river about four miles below the rapids on
Saturday. The examination disclosed a
ragged hole in the head sufficiently large
to expose the skull. He is supposed to
have struck the rocks at the entrance to
the whirlpool, where the current is wild-
est. The wound of itself was sufficient
to have caused death. The body was
bruised in several places. Capt. Webb
leaves awife and two children in Eng-
land.

Mortality Among Stamford Horses—16 Deaths.
Within the past few weeks 16 horses
have died in Stamford from an apparently
incurable disease, which affects the spinal
column,resulting in paralysis of the throat
, and bind parts. The animal crouches like
a dog, is unable to stand, soon becomes
bloated'and dies, after a few days' suffer-
ing, from exhaustion. Dr. Tanner, the
veterinary physician, is of the opinion
that the disease is chargeable to atmos-
pheric changes, and warns owners of
horses to guard against fast driving and
watering while in a heated condition.
The dissections show an inflamed condi-
tion of the intestines. '

ing the people along the Sound fresher

that the senior Byington is too frequently
importuned by the two junior Byingtons
to let 'em take his passes for a day’s ride,
and that this semi-weekly affair is started

A Shark Caught ill. the Harbor.
Last Tuesday morning as Mr. Charles
SnifIin was engaged in catching “bonies”
in a boatjnear Mitchell’s market,he noticed
a large fish swimming near the boat.
Supposing it to be a cod he endeavored to
fas'en his-hook in it but was unsuccessful.
‘Then, by means of the boat, he succeeded
in scaring the fish into the shallow water
underneath the Wall street bridge {and
jumping overboard, caught it by the fins
and drew it ashore. A crowd hastily as.
trembled and iiewed the prize. But none
seemed able to name its species, until an
old fisherman who was familiar with
sharks pronounced it to be what is known
as a young “shovel-nosed” shark. The
fish measured four feet two inches in
length. Small boys who are in the habit
of bathingin the harbor will now beWare'

A small ball of fire came rolling down
the telephone wire in rear of the GAZETTE
oflice during Saturday’s storm. It seem-
cd to have run against-the brick wall,
making a sharp cracking report, but did
no damage. .
The lightning also struck the chimney
of George Jennings’ house, hitting the
chimney and passing down through the
dwelling, but hurting no one. The storm
was terribly severe in the vicinity of
Bridgeport. In West Stratford the large
hum of Bradley, Nichols &. Sons was
struck and fired and with several out-
buildings destroyed. Loss $12,000, insur-
ed for $5,000. Two horses in the barn,
were killed. '
We called the attention of the public a

toy balloons. A correspondent writes

municate with the building, took the burn-
ing sponge with its framework of wire
and extinguished it in the roadway.
The above is from the Bridgeport Stan-

The Howe Sewing Machine Factory Burned.
\ —-———
A few minutes before eight o'clock
Thursday evening, fire was discovered in
the main building of the Howe Sewing
Machine Works at East Bridgeport. An,
alarm was quickly sounded and the entire
fire department were quickly at the scene.
Little could be done except to save adjoin-
ing property as the fire which started in
the japanning room and which had been
fed by the oonbustible oils and varnishes
in that section, had wrapped the entire
building in a sheet of seething flame. The
sight wasa grand one and about five thou-
sand people ware gathered on the docks
and on house tops to witness the work of
the flamts. By almost superhuman ef-
fort the gallant firemen confined the
fiames to the building and thus another
structure 400 feet long and four stories
high, occupied by the company as a cab-
inet department was saved. The building
destroyed was, however, the heart of the
business and contained all the valuable
machinery used in the manufacture of the
intricate parts of the machines. ‘ The
screw, needle and hammer departments
were in this building and the loss on these
is great. Many of the workmen had val-
uable tools in the building which were
their personal property and in many cases
the loss will fall heavily on them. Over
a thousand finished machines and many in
the course of. construction were destroyed.
The total loss is variously estimated at
from $300,000 to $500,000, upon which
there is an insurance of about $275,000.
- Over 500 workmen are thrown out of cm-
ploymeut by the fire.

The Military at Niantic.
General Smith has decided to reduce
the-routine of duty for the coming en-
campment at Niantie from the arduous
one of last year. Officers and men alike
will appreciate the change and the state
will derive more benefit with a few less
hours of hard work. , _
Quartermaster General McManus has
designed a unique arrangement for the
tables in the mess quarters at Niantic.
Each company’s room will have a table
extending around three sides of it; the
men sitting on the outside or the wall side
of the table. The fourth side will contain
a door for the waiters who will serve all
the food from the inside of the “square,”
or table. The door for the men to pass
in or out will be opposite the waiters’ door.
The many advantages of the arrangement
will be apparent to all. _
The position of the regiments in line,
while in camp this year, will be as fol-
lows: Third, Colonel Tubbs; First, Col-
onel Barbour; Second,’ Colonel Graham ;
Fourth, Colonel Crofut; Fifth battalion,
(colored). Major Welch ; Battery, Captain
Lee. There has been no change in the
relative positions of the regiments since
the last encampment. Each company will
be allowed sixteen tents, which will ac-
commodate sixty-four men. The tents
for the governor and stuff will be arranged
as last year—each staff in a sort of semi- ,
circle opposite the right of the line of
company tents.
Attempting to Bribe Pension Officials.
John ‘A. Morely, a resident of Titusvillcs
Pa., and an applicant for a pension, sent
Commissioner of Pensions Dudley $100
and $25 to each member of the board of
examining surgeons of the Pension ofiice
at Pittsburg, Pa. After receiving the
money the commissioner directed one of
his special examiners to proceed to Titus-
villc and ascertain the facts. He instruct-
ed the special examiner to return the
money to Morely if he was an ignorant
man who had been ill-advised, but if on
the contrary he found him to be a man of
intelligence to proceed at once against
him. Investigation revealed the fact that
Morely was a wholesale coal merchant and
a man of more than ordinary intelligence.
The special examiner procured awarrant
for the arrest of Morely, and he was
brought before U. 8. Commissioner Rich
mood, of Meadville, Pa., who after hear-
ing the case, held Morely in $1,500 for the
action of the grand jury. On Tuesday
last, Morely was tried in the U. S. court
at Erie, Pa., where Commissioner Dudley
appeared'as a witness. Morely was de-
fended by the'best legal talent in western
Pennsylvania. Morely was found guilty
and sentenced by Judge Acheson to pay a
fine of $175 and to serve four months in
the Crawford county jail.
American Consuls to Watch for Cholera.
The secretary of the treasury at the
suggestion of Surgeon General Hamilton,
of the marine hospital service has cabled in-
structions to the American consul general
in London and the consul at Liverpool to
appoint at once sanitary inspectors, whose
duty shall be to inspect all vessels leaving
the United Kingdom for e United State's
and to notify by cable the health author-
ities in this country of all such vessels
having disease on board, or which are
liable to developc disease on the voyage.
This action was talrcn in consequence of
the rumor which has reached here that
cholera had appeared in the London
docks. Full instructions to the inspectors
were at once prepared by Surgeon General
Hamilton, and forwarded by the State de
partment to New York by the afternoon
mail, to be sent forward on the Alaska,
which sails to-day. Pending arrival of
these instructions the inspectors will act
under cable advices.
Death Rather Than Marriage.
Frank C. Durant, a son of Landlord
Durant of the hotel at Lake Kcnosia near
Danbury, committed suicide by taking
opium in Birmingham .last week. He had
got a nurse girl into trouble, and she had
written him a letter demanding that he
marry her. He showed the letter toa
friend and said: “Before I would marry
that girl I would drown myself.” He
was employed as an engraver by the Derby.
Silver Company, and was very popular
with all who knew him. It has since
transpired that Durant was not the. only
one who had associated with the girl, and
the suicide has opened quite a scandal in
Birmingham.

- Metropolitan journals often, publish ar-

country journals. They seem to ridicule
the idea about reading the record of eventl!
which take place in their immediate neigh-
borhood. If the managers of these large

country people they would know that a
country newspaperto be successful must
give a record of lbcal events and that is

Dan: GAZETTE :— .
Why are 55 millions of people, lineal
descendants of heroic sires. silent, inac-
tive, paralyzed, strangely, ingloriously in-
ert, whilst the little kingdom on this side
of the ocean "are full of grand and heroic
ambition ? '
Is the Great Republic dead? Do her
statesmen dream ? Did the blood shed in
the rebellion exhaust her energies? Have
we culminated and are we passing into a '
slow decadence? Have we no giants of
big bone and valiant purpose left ?
When three millions, we Were great and
victorious. Are we incumbered by the
might and majesty of fifty-two addition-
al millions ? Can additional strength 1m-
part increasing weakness 1’
While the old world is in mmnentons me-
tion shall we look idly on? In the great
drama of nations shall we sluggishly slum-
ber in pit-st alls ?
Today we are no apparent factors? on
the world's stage ; 10,000 ships are in the
Thames, but the Stars and Stripes are not
seen! - ,‘
, A Channel Tunnel is to be built; a ‘ c-
ond. Suez Canal is to‘ be constructed; a
Manchester Canal is to be built ; France
is pushing her flag into Africa, besieg'ng
the walls of Tonquin ; England is annex-
ing New Guinea and confirming her power
in Egypt. Russia is slowly making her
way to the Indian Ocean. -What isithc
Great Republic doing ? '
I Will tell you what “official” representa-
tives of the government are doing here.
On the 4th of July, 1883, Russell
Lowell, to observe the day, substituted the
name of the immortal Henry Irving, play
actor, for the plebean name of George
Washington, and he made a further sub-
stitution of the drama, for the Declare.
tion of Independence. Mr. Lowell dr-
clined to attend an American Anniversary
dinner, because he was to glorify the purl
asitc Irving of Mrs. Million— Madame
Bartlett Couts. '
The great statesman Levi P. Morton
gorged a few friends with the flesh of fish
and fowls, at Kissingen, but gave no din.
net on our day of National Independence.
Dorsey, the accused but acquitted, would
not have done thusly.
Good old Taft did duty as a true old
time patriot.
These National degredations did not ex-
ist in the times of Jefferson, Jackson,
Pierce, Lincoln and Grant.
I should have more respect for Dorsey
in a convict’s cell, than for some pf the
imposlers he elevated to office.
YOUNG AMEatoA.
The French Cholera Specific._
Eorrons GAZETTE :-‘—Thc Sun s'Cholcra
Mixture, printed in last Week's GAZETTE,
says that the dose should be administered
in a wine glass of water. The original
recipe, as I have it, says: “Drop the dose
on a lump of sugar." Iherewith give the
original recipe in full, as I think it worthy
a place in every house and home in our
countryl The original heading Was
“The French Cholera Specific ;” not
“The Sun's _Cholcra Mixture." It is as
follows: ‘
Take one ounce laudanum, extra strong;
one ounce tincture rhubarb; one ounce
tincture cayenne pepper; one ounce tinc-
ture peppermint, triple strength; one
once spirits gum ,camphor; one pint best
French brandy. Dose for adults, 15 to 20
‘drops. Dose to be repeated after one
hdur. unless the discharge be checked by
the first. For children 3 to 10 drops, ac-
cording to age.
As French brandy is not often to be found
I have used alcohol reduced to fourth
proof. In this, if desired, put half an
ounce of burnt sugar, and you have brandy
of pure and better quality than is gener-
ally kept on sale.
My impression is that the recipe was
given in the GAZETTE in the summer of
1833, and subsequently in the New York
Tribune. I have found that in rheuma-
tism and other pains of the head and limbs
to bathe with this mixturerhsing a soft
sponge, affords a most ready relief.

A pleasant ééhb‘rfiiybr relatives assem-
bled at the home of Mr. and’ Mrs. L. R. ,
Waterman of Albion, N. Y., one evening
of last week. Among those present were
Mrs. Mary D. Waterman, formerly of this
city, her four daughters Mrs. L. P. Phelps
of Albion, Mrs. W. H. Swords with her
husband, son and daughters, Mrs. Eadie
and son of Brooklyn, Miss GeorgiaWater-
man; also Miss Maggie Seymour, who is
spending a few weeks with her aunt Mrs.
L. R. Watermau.—-About five o'clock
Tuesday afternoon, James a son of Mr.
Samuel G..Mitchcll, living on Roton Hill,
was severely bitten by a dog on the prom-
ises of Mrs. M. Lauder. The mastiff
started from his kennel and snapping his
chain, attacked the boy with great feroc-
ity. biting him twice, once on the arm,
and once on the fleshy part of the leg
above the knee. A hired man at work in
the garden near by, ran to the rescue
and throwing a spade, knocked the dog
down. Dr.Emily Pardee cauterizcd the
wound and at last accounts the patient
was doing nicely—Republican
The Norwalk GAZETTE gives in its last
issue, a statement of its circulation for
the past six months. As editors never
lie we must give the statement credence,
For the four weeks in June it states its
circulation at 32,917, or 8,229 per week.
» The editor acknowledges that there may
be slight errors in figures. In case of
no mistake the GAZETTE ranks next to the
Republican for circulation in the county,
and that is about as we have always
estimated itr—Danbnrg/ Republican.
Hold on Brother Bartram! Don't spoil
our modest statement. We claimed for
J one a weekly insteadjof an aggregate cir-
culation of 32,917. Please correct your
statement and contradict the impression
that our circulation only reaches the
puny stint of 8,229. Then we will cheer-
fully give you second place.

Some four years ago, I intrO-
duced into this marketa new thing
in the way of a SAWED SHINGLE,
planed, - as a substitute for rived
and shaved shingles. 0 '
I sold between two and three
millions of them. This largcisale
was due to the excellence of the
stock and the advan tage given to
it by the process of planing. The
manufacturer—Oscar Fenn—in
about three years, consumed his‘
timber and retired wealthy and
the patentec of the process has
for a your past been locking in vain
for some one who made a shingle
the pinning process, the. tendency
being to show plainly every defect
in the stock. He has recently
placed his machinery in a. new
mill and is now again supplying
me with an article of
PLANEU SHINGLE
fully as good in every respect as
the Oscar Fenu and, and he
warrants them just as thoroughly.
The first installment arrived July
6th and I invite an examination
of them and also request an ex—
amination of the Lumber Shed
Roofs covered with Shingles
made three years ago by the same
process. I confidently recom-
mend themsas the best substitute.
for Rived Shingles, yet found.
The additional cost. over the com—
mon shingle is but slight and is
more than covered by the better
quality of stock.
Call and examine them.

Ir'ow Watch Cases are Made.
Most persons have an ambition to carry
' a. goldwatch case, and yet few people know
how a. watch case is made, or the vast dif-
ference in the quality of them. In a SOLID
GOLD WATcrr CASE, aside from the neces--
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
a. large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stiflcn and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
ble, because gold is a. sofbmctai and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case perimuiently
strong and close-fitting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the J amasBoss’ Gold IVatch Case "a:
which saves the WASTE of nccd-T I fin“
less gold, and INCREASES the scrotum and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the some time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.
