Gloss of the fair.
The county fair which was continued
on Saturday, drew a good attendance, but
with the exception of the trotting the last
day's exhibition was in a rather chaotic
state, as exhibitors were engaged in re-
moving their entries and the display be-
came gradually despoiled. Everything in
the fruit and edible line found ready eat-
ers and but little that could be masticated
was carried home.
There were three trotting events on the
card, which resulted as follows: In the
three minute class the contestants were
Clayland and Bonnie Scotland, the former
winning in 2:42, 2:42}, 2:47. Shamrock,
Little Mack and Louis Napoleon had to
trot four heats to decide the 2:32 race.
Shamrock won the first and Hack the re-
maining three. Time, 2:37, 2:30, 2:38.2z30.
The 2:40 race was a pretty one between
Bessie B. and Niger, the latter trotting
both heats without a break. Bessie won
each heat by a length. Time 2:39;.
FAIR MATTERS.
Where, oh where was our old friend
Bradley of Saugatuck,all the week ? Did
his conspicous absence cause the rain ?
A stranger whose vision took in the
front of the President’s tent Saturday at-
ternoon, about four o’clock, concluded
that a special delegation from the Fat
Man's Clam Bake was decorating the pres-
idential marker.
One of the interesting agricultural fea-
tures of the fair, was to see the showman
swallow a hay knife three feet long.
The fair restaurant was managed better
than ever before.
It is hoped that next year will find the
same president and secretary holding of-
fice, for a pair of harder working, enter
prising and at the same time, courteous
gentlemen never held positions in that so-
ciety. _
The officers of the fair are certainly de-
serving of especial credit for their pains-
taking efiorts to overcome as far as possi-
ble, the disheartening effects of a week of
The Misses Hoyt, daughters of the new
president of‘our county agricultural socie-
ty, made several very rich and elaborate
contributions to the ladies‘ industrial de-
partment. Their Kensington embroider
ice and floral ribbon work, were truly ex-
quisite, while several studies in oil, by
one of the sisters, evinced a truly artistic
taste and skill.
Master Miller, the young'son of Trans-
urer George E. Miller, exhibited a pretty
crayon drawing of a polar bear and ice
fields, that attracted much attention and
favorable comment.
A very interesting exhibit was a mass of
fine butter shaped like a pineapple. It
was made by Mrs. Rachel Whitney of
South Wilton.
John H. Sherwood of Southport, had an
extra fine .exhibit of vegetables and farm
products at the fair.

ternal revenue districts of this state, the

We were solicitous to know if Judge
Blrdsall and Bank Commissioner Hyatt
had been invited to the sort of democratic
“love feast,” held till far into the night
at Saugatuck in honor of Governor Wai-
lcr after his retreat from our Fair. Our
curiosity is in a measure satisfied. A
democratic friend and brother assures us
that he saw on the early morning train
going east, our dapper Bank Commis-
sioner Hyatt and the redoubtablc Judge
Birdsall, sitting tits a sis in the most
friendly front-face manner, the car-seat
having been turned over so that the lov-
ing lambs could {the better oglc each
other. This is as it should be. If Con-
necticut is to be carried for Tilden in ’84
the erring and estranged brethren cannot
begin too soon to “make up.” After all,
what kind of a democratic festival could
friend Wheeler have had with only the
Governor, Congressman-elect Seymour
and his Senatorial brother, and no Hyatt
or Judge Birdsall preseni.
Hr. Olmstead in New York.
The New York Sunday Times speaks
of President Olmstead's visit to New
York in the interest of his road on Satur-
day in a way to indicate that he is already
actively at work :i n the line of securing
capital to construct his road. This is what
the Times has to say:
“Mr. S. E. Olmstead, President of the New
York and Connecticut Air Line Railroad com-
pany, was in New York yesterday for the
g ‘ purpose of consulting with various persons
regarding the respects of the road. Nearly
all of the line etween New Haven and Nor-
walk_has been accepted by the Railroad Com-
missioners of Connecticut. Mr. Olmstead
says that the remainder of the line, between
Norwalk and the State line at Greenwich will
be examined Oct. 24 by the Railroad Com-
missioners prior toits acceptance. Mr. Obn-
stead estimates the entire cost of the road
from New Haven to New York at from $7,000-
000 to $8,000,000.”

The Jesse Hoyt Will Case.
Mr. Aaron Kahn has obtained an order
- from Surrogate Rollins ,in the Jcssc Hoyt
will contest, requiring the executors to
appear and show cause why there should
not be a reargument of the motion for an
allowance of $25,000 to Helen Maria
Hoyt and Irene Hoyt. This application
was denied by the Surrogate some time
ago upon the ground that he had no jur-
isdiction to grant such an allowance.
That question was not then argued.
Roscoe Conkling appeared for the con
testants and Wm. M. Evarts for the exe-
cutors. A decision has not yet been
reached. ‘
More New Buildings.
John Rowe, the Spring Hill carpenter,
has the contract for building Mrs. Chas.
Comatock’s new house near the Miss
Peaslee place.
The cellar wall is up for Win. Fiuncy's
cottage on Berkeley street.
Thor. D. Stout is erecting two pretty
cottages on Grand street, near Catharine,
for sale or rent.
Miss Ann J. Andrews is building a new
residence on West Main street.
G. P. Adams is putting up two more
new houses on Orchard street.

Governor's Day at Camp Waller.
Good weather favored Governor‘s day at
Camp Waller, and the review ofthc entire
militia force of Connecticut, including the
two independent companies of the Govern-
or's Guard, was a most gratifying success.
Governor Waller and his staff, mounted on
horseback, reviewed the troops, and his
excellency made an inspiring figure while
performing his duty as commander in
chief. Promptly at 2 o’clock, the hour
appointed for review, the adjutsnt call
was sounded, anda few later the entire
brigade appeared upon the parade ground.
The men were at their best. The entire
brigade appeared for the first time in camp
in white pants. The long column never pre—
sented a finer appearance than when Gov-
ernor Waller appeared upon the field, ‘fol-
lowed by his staff, and was escorted to his
reviewing stand by the First and Second
Companies, Governors Foot Guard, who
then took up their position upon the left
of the line. After the usual customary
salute by General Smith to his cxcellcncy
both dignitaries then passed up and down
the field in revtew. The “Camp Waller
Band,” the monster musical consolidation,
played “Hail to the Chief.” The picture
was a grand one, and will long be remem-
bered by those who witnessed it,asGovern-
or Waller came onto the field. After his re
.view he rode at a furious pace for his re
viewing stand in advance of General Smith.
After this ceremony had been. completed
battalion drill was held by regiments. At
brigade dress parade the menagain made a
fine showing, which closed the exercises
of a memorable day in the annals of the
C. N. G.
The last night in camp was a jolly one.
It was distinguished chiefly for calling, for
fireworks and for music. Each band
played in front of the colonel’s quarters of.
its regiment, and these ofiicers, as well as
Governor Waller, kept open house. The
company streets were all illuminated, and,
merriment fairly went mad.
The tents were struck at 0:80 on Satur-
day morning, and by 12:45 p. m. the men
had left the camp and were homcward
bound. Co. F. reached Norwalk about
4:30.
The New Haven Register says that taken
as a whole, despite the bad weather early
in the week, the encampment of ’83 has
been, by all odds, the most complete and
the most successful of any tthonnecti-
cut troops ever held.
Major Crowo of the Fourth regiment
was the first field ofiicer of the day on
Monday, and also the last on Saturday.
Five companies of the Fourth were or-
dered out on Friday evening to quell a riot
in the Spritualists’ camp, but before they
reached the same quiet,had been restored.
The New Haven Ooufier says “This is
the second time the Fourth regiment has
been called out this week and General
Smith knows that he can always rely upon
the Fourth in time of action."
G. S. North, of South Norwalk, got a
fine photograph of the entire camp during
the review of Friday.
In speaking of Thursday’s sham fight at
Flanders an old war veteran said it was
worth more to the National Guard than a
month's drilling in camp.
As has already been said in these coi-
umns, the Fourth has shown the most de-
cided improvement since last year, proba—
bly because there was more room for im-
provement. However, during the week
in camp there was no opportunity to con-
trast it unfavorably with the the remain-
der of the brigade—Now London Day.
General 8. R. Smith is confined to his
home in New Haven by a severe attack of
cholera morbus. He was not well when
he started for camp. and the fatigue of the
week completed the work of prostration.
He is confined to his bed, but his physician
thinks he will be out in three or four days.
A court of inquiry was in session last
night considering the complaint of Assisi-
ant Surgeon Burke, of the Fourth regi~
ment, against Drummer Henry Matthias,
of Co. Fof that command. charging the
latter with refusing to obey, and with
using insulting language towards him.
Matthias made a general denial, and said
he did not hear the order. The court,
consisting of Capt. H. B. Wood of Com-
pany I, Second; S. O. Prentice, first lien-
tcnant Company K, First, and T. 0.
Thompson, first lieutenant Signal corps,
Third regiment, recommended that said
Matthias be reprimanded by the general
commanding. General Smith talked kind-
ly to the discouraged fellow this morning
and he went back to his quarters with his
drum and a lighter beam—New Haven,
Courier, Saturday.
Mr. Matthias subsequently received an
ofilcial paper entirely exonerating him
from all blame and stating that tho charg-
es against him were not substantiated.

Stratford’s Unsolved Mystery.
There have been few new developments
in the Rose Ambler murder case since
Friday. The detectives have been going
over the route which Lewis takes in his
morning peddling trips and have been
questioning the people With whom he has
dealings. State Attorney Fesscndcn,
Deputy Coroner Joyce and Detective
Bibbins assert that two days after the
murder they noticed scratches on the
back of Lewis’s hand. The suspicious
stains on the horse blanket :and carriage
robe, the testimony of Dr. White in re-
gard to the scales of human skin found
under Rose's finger nails being those of a
white man, and Lewis’s peculiar talk, have
given the detectives strong reasons for
following up this line, and they find some
things which strengthen the case, per-
haps, although not very materially.
The chain of circumstances is yet too
slight to warrant an arrest, but sufilcicnt
to warrant the detectives in following up
the clues against Lewis. Coroner Holt is
confident that RoscIlcft Lewis’s house be»
fore the shower, and was either under
some dense foliage or in a carriage during
the ruin.
Governor Wullcr, upon receiving an
application from State Attorney Fessen~
on, has decided to increase the reward
offered by the town for the conviction of
the murderer by adding $3,000 in the
name of the State.
JAY-EYE—SEE BEATS HIS RECORD.
A Mile in 2:103t Without a Break.
Pnovrnuxou, Sept. I5.——Four thousand
persons witnessed the attempt of Jay—
Eyc-Seo to beat his record of 2:14 for a
purse of $2,000. IIe trotted his warming
up host in 2:20, and when the final trial
came he made the most remarkable
exhibition of trotting ever seen on this
track. His time to the first quarter was
31 seconds; to the half 1:00}; to the
three-quarters, 1:39, and finished in
2:103. He went over the entire course
without a skip or break of any kind, and
when he came under the wire he showed
no signs of distress. The enthusiasm was
great, the spectators standing in their
seats and cheering loudly as tho plucky
little flycr came down the homostrctch.
This pcrformnncc by JayEyc-Soo places
him at the head of all trotting horses now
on the turf. His time, 2:103}. is half a
second faster than St. Julicn’s best time,
2:11}, and only half a second slower than
the best on record, 2:10;} of the prcrlcss

Obituary.
Mr. Thomas Benedict who died last
week in East Norwalk, was born in the
old Thomas Benedict house, situated on
West Avenue and so recently removed to
make way for the improvements now go-
ing on there on what was a portion of
his father’s and grandfather’s farm. He
traced his lineage directly to the Mayflow-
er, and his ancestors were among the first
settlers of this town. His is the oldest
family now resident in Norwalk, and he
leaves a son also named Thomas. after
himself, his father, and also, we believe,
his grandfather. Mr. Benedict was a man
of entire uprightncss, leading a quiet and
unobtrusive life and respected by every-
one who knew him. For more thana
half century he took personal charge of
the old-time Down Town tide-mill. His
adjacent farm, was cut up into building
ots something less thgu a score years ago,
and is now dotted over by the neat little
cottages now constituting the thickest
settled portion of what is known as East
Norwalk. As a sheaf fully ripe he has
been garnered in and now rests with his
fathers.
Mrs. Esther Ella, rclict of the late Rob-
ert Ells, deceased, entered into rost Sat-
urday night l'ast. after many weary months
of suffering. Mrs. Ells was the daughter
of the late Benjamin Bishop and only
surviving sister of George G. Bishop, Esq.,
who is now the sole surviving member of
Mr. Benjamin Bishop’s once large family
of children. Mrs. Ellis was the mother of
Joseph B. and George N: Ells, so long and
so worthily connected with the Gszarru
She leaves three daughters and five sons
to mourn the departure of a faithful Chris-
tian mother, who like so many noble,
toiling, enduring women, lived not for
herself, but for her children. Her long
life of care and toll is now'i' recompensed
by the full tuition of celestial peace, rest
and joy.
Borough Criminalities.
Pay day hasa bad effect on some of
the mouldcrs employed as Simond’s
foundry, and generally a disgraceful row
follows each one. . Last Saturday evening
Thomas Cahlll became “mussv” and he
created a disturbance at Ready's saloon,
engaging in a fight in the saloon and re-
ceiving a pronounced black eye. A crowd
gathered in the foundry alleyway. and
when Officer Gchcbe proceeded to arrest
Cahilllic resisted, which increased the
commotion and tho mingled galhrring of
roughs and law-abiding citizens. Cshill
had his examination before Justice
Selleck yesterday morning, and was fined
$3 and costs for resistance of ofiicer, and
‘1 and costs for intoxication. These
riotous proceedings, which are becoming
unpleasantly frequent, should be broken
up if heavy fines and imprisonment can
do it. In every instance the trial justice
should impose the full penalty of the law,
and furthermore on the evening following
pay dayaspocial ofiiccr should be de-
tailed to keep the foundry alleyway clear
of roughs or any person inclined to be
disorderly.
Not far from the scene of the above
mentioned row occurred a ring light on
the same evening, which terminated in
the arrest of Thomas MSGrath. 'l‘hc lat-
ter’s dog got to fighting with Thomas
Hadden's cur at the entrance to Dunn’s
livery stable. In order to separate the
yelping and belligerent canines Officer
Bitch struck McGrath’s dog several blows
with his club. MoGrath_couldn‘t. stand
by and see his pet thus treated and he
retaliated with a very abusive tongue,
'whereupon the officer arrested him and
took him to tho lockup He settled by
paying costs. ‘
A fight occurred between Michael
Heal and Timothy Murphy on Water
street, and Heal was fined $1 and coats
for assault on Murphy.
There was an incipient fight on Sunday
morning in front of the Adams House,
the principals being Telephone Manager
Lee and a party named Matthew’s, which
grew out 0'. an alleged insult to a lady.

There were two strangers in town last

would have cost him his life, had not one
of the regulars scented the danger. It
does seem as if enough had been published
of danger and deaths caused by such want
of judgment, and the only wayto account
for such ignorance is, that there are still
quite a large number who do not read the
papers.
The arrival and waiting of Gov. Waller
in this city have not been quite correctly

and Mr. Bradley also found that the re-
ccptlon committee appointed by tho socie-

staff to the fair grounds, were among the
missing. 0n the arrival of the train here
Mr. Bradley escorted the governor and
Col. Osborn to the Mahackemo hotel
where they found General Maiden of the
staff in waiting. Mrs. Newcomb,wife of
proprietor Newcomb, gave the governor
and his staff the use of her private parlor
while waiting for the ponderous commit-
tee. The governor did not dine at the
hotel as the programme for the day provi-
ded that the governor, his stafi', and invi-

Hoyt under his tent on the fair grounds,
which programme was fully and success-
fully carried out.

The Hartford a Harlem’s Layout Mental. ‘
The railroad commissioners held their
adjourned meeting atB’ridgeport' Tuesday
to hear the closing arguments in behalf of
the Hartford db Harlem layout, one. In
the afternoon Commissioner Woodruff
road the decision of the board which was
in short, that they fully accept the Hart.
ford A; Harlem's layout from New Britain
to the New Haven city line and reject all
of it from New Haven to the New York
state line. Tne following is the text of
the concluding portion:
The location through the city of ' New Ha-
ven we are of Opinionoughthuot lobe approv-
ed and we do therefore dncline to give an ap-
probation to the location from said station,
1,495x92 to station 1,592x19 in West Haven.
In regard to the location of the various
sections commencing at First Avenue in the
borough of West Haven, in the town of Dr-
ango, and extending to the New York state
line in the town of Greenwich, there arises
another question difi‘erent from any which
apply to these sections in common with the
eastern division. There is pending before us
the application of the New ork and Connec—
ticut Air Line Railway compang for the ap-
proval of the localities of its me from a cer-
tain . int in the city of New Haven to the
New ork state line, also in tire town of Green-
wich, whiohlocation they claim is raetieally
the same as“ that subse uently 0 fed be-
tween said points by the artford an Harlem
Railroad company. They therefore saygwe
should refuse our approval of the location of
the Hartford and HarlemRailroad because of
its unjustifiable interference ‘WII-h and injury
to their layout. The Hartford and Harlem
Railroad company, while it does not admit
that its location is to an considerable extent
coincident with that o the Air Line, claims
that, even if the two do so conflict that the lo-
cation of both can not be approved, the Hart-
ford and. Harlem is entitled to have its loca-
tion approved because the Au: Line by want
of due dilligence has forfeited its right of pri-
ority, if any it had. As a. matter of fact we
find that the two proposed locations pro so far
identical that the one material] interferes
with and unnecessarily in area 0 other for
near] the entire distance tween New Haven
and 0 New York line. The articles of asso-
ciation of the New York and Connecticut Air
Line Railway company were filed October 22,
1881, and their application for our approval of
their location was originally filled Jan 11,
1883. The articles of association of the art-
ford and. Harlem Railroad com y were filed
December, 1882, and their app 'cation for our
approval of the Milford section of their loca-
tion, being the first location made between
New Haven and New York, wasfiled March
13 1883. We can not, however accede to the
full extent of the claims of the New York and
Connecticut Air Line company, that _m the
filing of its articles of association with the
acoompaning report of the engineer and map,
it thereby located its road upon the line delta;
sated on that mp. The layout and location
of a railroad is somethin more than a mere
line which has no bread ——ft includes a de-
scription of the Width or quantity“? the land
proposed to be taken along such . Uppn
filing its articles of association in the im-
ed manner, the company became authorized
to locate its road [subject to approval] either
upon the line indicated on the map or on any
other line not inconsistent With the lumts (lea
fined in its articles. This the Air Line com-
pany attempted to do, whether in all respects
as it ought to have been done, it is not necessa- *
ry now to determine, since it wasin our judg-
ment sufficientto give to that company the prior
and exclusive right to that location against any
company subsequently organized unless that
right of priority was lost by want of due dili-
genco. We say exlnsive right—exclusive
against any encroachment which would ma-
terially injure its location. _ _
The question then to be determined in
whether the New York and Connecticut Air
Line Railway has so forfeited its right of
priority.
Having once complied with the statutory I
requirements of its organization, a railroad
company organized under the general rail-
road law has and retains all the powers cori-
torrod upon such corporations so long as its
corporate existence continues. One of these
owers is the right to seclet the location for
its road, subject to our approbation, and we
know of no restrictions as to the time within
which that right must be exercised, provided
it is not so long delayed that it becomes im-
possible to secure the up roval of the com-
missioners, and expend in» 0 construction of
its road 10 per cent. of its subscribed capital
within the two cars after its articles of asso-
ciation are file , or within such further time
as the commissioners may grant pursuant to
the statute.
Such time has not in our judgment expired .
in the ease of the New York and Connecticut
Air Line Railway company. It has not, there-
fore lost its right of priorit , and hence the
location of the Hartford and arlem Railroad
company, so for as it materially interferes
with the location of the Air Line, can not be
up rovod.
’ ‘his decision renders it unnecessary now
to pass upon the objections to the location at.
the various points between New Haven and
New York, as raised by the citizens along the
lino.
Should the Air Line company fail to retain
its rights to its location, and should the Hart-
ford and Harlem then ,insist upon'its resent
routc, it will become necessary to doci 0 these
other questions.
Wednesday the commissioners hoard.
testimony in regard to alleged inacuracics
in the layout of the Air Line, but this
seems to have created no change in the
minds of the commissioners. More time
was asked for by the Air Line to complete
minor changes such as highway crossings,
£50., made in their line, and the commis-
sioners agreed to meet at Greenwich, on
the 23d of October to hear complaints of
parties through whose lands the line runs,
and will on the 24th review the line from
that town to Wolf-pits Hill on the line
between Norwalk and Westport.
Yesterday the commissioners were to
have met at Hartford to adjust the matter
of highway crossings between West-Ha-
ven and Wolfpits Hill. 80 that in effect,
the Hartford and Harlem’s application for
approval of their submitted line is reject-
ed and the line of the old, or Olmstead
Parallel, now called "The New York and
Air Line Railway," is accepted. This
latter line, will of course, be permitted to
reasonably adjust inacuracies and make
needed changes as to grade crossing of
highways and the like, under the direction
and subject to future approval of the rail-
road commissioners, and it is not at all
probable that any captions or unreas inable
obstacles will be allowed by the commis-
sioners to interfere with the honest and
speadiest building of the road. An exam-
ination of the profiles of the rival layouts
shows the Air Line tor be much the
straightest of the two roads and over two
miles shorter than the Hartford and Har-
lem. After the Air Line, is given its full
and complete clearance for its entire line
by the commissioners, its next action will
be to complete a purschasc of right of way
from New Haven to the New York state
line. Then it will be in order for this
company to proceed at once to build their
road or to abandon their line to others
who undoubtedly will. Mr. Olmstead,
president of the Air Line, assures us that
his company will earnestly and in good
faith proceed with all possible cclcrity, to
build the road. Mr. 0. and his associates
have been pretty freely charged with
working in the interest of the Consolidated
railroad. Ho and they will soon have a
chance to disabusc the public mind of
this, as ho avers, grossly false impression.
The people say amen and lct'the dirt fly.
The decision overjoyed the Olmstead
Parallel road men who claim that now
their layout will have priority over that
or the Hartford and Harlem, and that
theirs will undoubtedly be approved.—

HARTFORD, Sept. 14,—4:30 p. in.
The line of the New York and Connec-
ticut Air Line is accepted by the railroad
commissioners from New Haven to Nor
walk, with the exception of a small sec-
tion which the commissioners think should
be changed and which the Air Line coni-
pnny have consented to. P.
Mr. Baldwm on the Harlem Layout.
Mr. Simeon E. Baldwin said Friday
that the refusal of the railroad commie;
sioners to approve the Hartford and flar-
lcm layout through New Haven would
not embarrass the enterprise materially.
“We shall go on and lay out another
route through New Haven, as speedily, I
suppose, as is, possible. We shall notbe
nhle, however, to provide a route as good
for the interests of the city as the old one.
The rejection of that is specially bad for
the interests of the western part of the
city, and there are many sufficiently far-
sighted and disinterested to see this. H.
M. Walsh told me a day or two ago that
he considered the commissioners’ deci-
sion an unfortunate thing for the city."
As to the notion that the Olmstead par-
allel would be given the priority, he said:
“There is no‘ trouble as to that. The.
Olmstead layout has not been ap roved
yet, and may not be. Until it s, the
question of priority does not come in.
Should it be approved, we can easily re-
move objcctions by making changes in
our line so that there will be no interfe-
rence with the other line. There is plenty
of room for the two roads. As now laid
out, the lines.do not conflict seriously,
and a considerable part of the way are a
wide distance apart.”
