and homes for 4 have been obtained, leav-
ing 9 all told to be provided for.
It was voted that the various reports be
completed to Oct. 1st and printed in pam-
phlet form.
The New Railroad Scheme.
There is an air of total improbabilitv
in the claims made fcr the new “Boston
and Inland” railroad scheme, outlined in
Saturday’s edition, unless a purchase has
been made of the ,Olmstead Parallel line.
Such a purchase we doubt, and we have
Judge Miner’s word that the Olmstead
line has not and will not he sold to any
set of scheming speculators. but that they
intend in good faith to build their road
'just as soon as the Railroad Commissioners
fully accept their entire route. The new
Boston scheme has not even made appli-
cation to our Connecticut commissioners
for an acceptance of anything and so that
road will not be build so suddenly as the
associated press despatch would seem to
guarantee. , President Wairous has no
faith in it, but says: “According t‘o the
newspaper report the new road proposes
'to use the Grand Central Depot in New
York. Now if the road is built (and I
have no idea it will be) and should occupy
that depot, our road would move out, as
the depot is already over crowded."
The Ambler Murder.
Dr. White, the medical expert, testified
before the coroner‘s jury on Saturday,
that the blood stains on Lewis’s carriage
robe were of recent origin, and that they
had the characteristics of human blood.
The inquest was continued yesterday.
It was stated in Bridgeport Sunday
evening that Coroner Holt was confident
that the murderer of Rose Ambler would
be arrested in a few days; and that the
guilt would be fastened in such a manner
in; to afford no room for doubt. Detec
tives Wood and Taylor were up the Naug-
atuck valley Sunday, and claim to have
discovered very important evidence.
Water Famine. Feared.
Another correspondent criticises quite
sharply, the waste of borough water all
about town frombroken pipes. The expla-
nation of the water commissioners is that
while water was plenty they did not wish
to inconvenience consumers by shutting it
off for the long time it would require to
.repair these breaks. But as the water
will now have to be shut off anyway, un
less there is immediate rain, these repairs
will be made. As a water famine is so
imminent,it behcovcs every user to econo-
mize to the closest possible degree until
our exhausted reservoirs are replenished.
#
The Danbury Fair.
The Danbury fair, which ranks the best
of any in New England, will open one
week from to-morrow, and continue the
remainder of the week. The largest at-
tendance will probably be on Thursday.
The News says :—“In point of quantity
and variety the display this year promises
to exceed any previous effort by this soci-
ety, or any other society in New England.
The dog show will be a successful new
feature. In the art department there will
be a large list of exhibits.” An extra
fair train will leave Norwalk at 8:20 a. m. ,
Oct. 4 and5: returning leave Danbury at
6:15 p. m.
M
Editor White of the Danbury Item was
on hand at the governor’s dinner at the
fair on Wednesday. Where there’s alike-
hood of getting something to eat, there
White will always lie—Jones of the
Westporter took in the fair, Friday, and,
for a wonder, there are no reports of a
famine in town.—[The Gourmand of the
Gazmn. Say, look here. If you can’t
get enough to eat in Norwalk. or fear you
can’t, come up here and we’ll fill you up.

see you last Wednesday and we had to fill
you up. Our former remarks are hereby

An Agreeable Meeting.
After all, what kind of a democratic
festival could friend Wheeler have had
with only the Governor, Congressman-
sleet, Seymour and his Senatorial brother,
and no Hyatt or Judge Birdsall present.—

Just such an one as he did have; one of

Fine Farm Improvements.
Mr. Henry Guthrie is making the old
Merwin Raymond farm at Silver Mine,
bud and blossom as the rose. lIe is
cleaning the fields of rocks, and building
massive walls about them, and at the rate
he is going on, will soon make this one
of the prettiest farms in the county.

'I‘hc friends of Mr. Andrew Seilcck say
that. he will not accept the nomination
for selectman if tendered him. Mr. S.

in times past, and his friends will regret
that ire refuses to serve again.

Our new storage reservoir being located
in New York, will have to be scraped
and graveled under the statute law of that
state.
Drowning Accident.
About half past seven Saturday even-
ing a deck hand on the propeller fell over-
board and was drowned. The man-
whose name is unknown, had only been
on the propeller since last Wednesday at
which time he applied for and re‘
ceived employment at their dock in New
York. On the up trip Saturday it was no
ticed that he_was somewhat under the in
fluence of liquor though not sufficiently
so as to incapacitate him from duty.
After the freight had been discharged
Saturday evening he left to take a walk
about town. The next seen of him was
by a shipmate who saw him coming out
of a low grogery in the pet shop building.
He was then so grossly intoxicated as to
be almost unable to walk and his shipmate
advised him to go on board the boat and
go to bed. He said he would and nothing
further is known of him until the hands
remaining on the boat were startled by a
loud splash. It seems that, in attempting
to board the boat he had fallen between
it and the dock. Lights were brought
and a rope thrown where he sank but he
neVer came to the surface. A boat was
procured and after dragging the bottom
for about forty minutes the body was
brought to the surface and tied to the dock
pending the arrival of .medical examiner
Burke who had been telephoned for.
Upon his arrival the body was conveyed
to Quintard’s undertaking rooms where a .
short examination was held. On the back
of the man’shead was found a huge gash
ands fracture of the skull was evidentv
showing that in failing the man had struck
his head against the pier and the shock
had rendered him unconscious thus pre-
venting him from saving himself. In the
dead man’s pockets were found some
three dollars in money and a card from the
13th Division Laborers’ Union Grecnpoint,
Brooklyn, E. D., made out in the name of
William Moore, No. 62. Medical examiner
Burke decided it to be a case of accident-
a1 drowning and the body was left at Quin-
tard’s pending certain {inquiries which
Capt. Crabbe of the Propeller will make
in New York. .

Condition of Odd Fellowship.
The annual reports presented at the
opening of the annual session of the Sov-
ereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows in
Providence, show that the progress of the
order in ever y particular has been highly
satisfactory. The net gain in member-
ship has been 18,050. The finances are in
a sound condition, and the outlook for the
future is bright and promising. The grand
lodges number 50; the grand encamp
merits 41; subordinate lodges 7,514; the
subordinate cncampments 1,864; the lodge
members 493,997. The increase of en-
campment members is 85,110; the total
reliefjafforded, $1,882,440; the total rev—
cnue $5,245,940. Charters have been is-
sued during the recess to new cnce-np
ments and lodges in five states or terri-
tories and three foreign countries. About
200 camps of uniformed patriarchs have
been organized. The report summarizes
the work in foreign countries, and calls
attention to the Ridgcly monument fund,
and notices the death of Grand Represen-
tative Theodore B. Elliott, in the New-
haii house calamity.
Connecticut Catholic Absisiuers.
The annual cenvcntion of tho Connec-
ticut Catholic Total Abstinence Union
was held in Middletown on Tuesday last.
Reports showed the union to be in a
stronger and more flourishing condition,
both as regards membership and finances,
than for many years. At present there
are 43 societies, with a gain in member-
ship of 81, and an increase in finances of
$150. A resolution was passed that “the
executive council of this Union together
with the county delegates of the several
counties be and are hereby constituted a
delegation on behalf of the Catholic Total
Abstinence Union of Connecticut to wait
on the temperance committee of the
Connecticut legislature at the session of
1884, and that said delegation urge upon
said legislative temperance committee the
necessity of enacting special laws in the
interest of our principles.” Rev. J. W.
Fones of Thomaston, was elected presi-
dent of the union, and the director from
Fairfield county is James Noonan of
Bridgeport. .
The Borough Churches.
Rev. Henry Northrop of Philadelphia,
preached two able and impressive sermons
at the Congregational church Sunday.
Rev. Mr. Everest will return, and occu-
py the pulpit of this church again for sev-
eral Sundays, commencing October 7th.
He will be most cordially greeted.
The Baptists occupied their church
Sunday, for the first time since it was
cloaed for the introduction of the new
organ. '
President Cole preached morning and
evening at St. Paul's,
The Slingshot Must Go. '
Saturday noon as a boy was driving
down Wall street with a horse and wagon
belonging to Mr. Giles Sanders, a young
lad on the sidewalk struck the horse with
a stone thrown from his slingshot. The
horse became unmanageable and ran, and,
colliding with the lamp post in front of
Dr. Baldwin's, the boy was thrown out and
quite badly though not seriously injured.
The wagon and harness were considerably
smashed but altogether the turnout cs-
caped with less damage than might have
been expected.
Poisoned Canned Beef.
Friday afternoon about one hundred
men at the State prison at Wethersficld
were taken violently ill, seized with on.
mistakablc symptoms of poisoning. It
was ascertained that the cause was some
canned lamb which the prisoners had for
dinner. Some arc'scriously ill, but all
will recover. Lockwood, the Stepney.

' Plenty of Stamps.
The published statement that the con-
tractors are unable to furnish the large
requisitions recently made by the postof-'
ficc department for two-cent postage
stamps, is denied at the department. All
orders so far made have been promptly
filled, and as the contractors have had an
ample stock of stamps prepared months
ago, no apprehension is felt about. filling
future requisitions as soon as made.

Diseased Cattle.
The secretary of the treasury has noti-
fied the collector of customs at New York
that in view of the alarming increase of
the foot and mouth cattle disease in Great
Britain, the custom oflicers should use
the greatest care in investigating the san-
itary condition of all cattle, swine, shot-p
and goats imported into the United
States.
East Norwalk’s Candidate for Selectman.
The East Norwalkers, Will, we learn

“Our Summer Boarders" played to a
good sized house last evening and proved
one of the most laughableand successful
plays of the seasm. _ The audience were
kept in good humor from beginning to end
and departed feeling that "Our Summer

lon Zolo made the hit of the evening and
her dancing was the perfection of grace
and beauty. She is destined to become
as great a favorite in this country, as she
has been for the past two years in Europe.

Mr. Theodore F. Warner of the New
Haven News, was in this city late last
week and reports that paper prosperous.
J. H. Knapp’s store, adjoining the
Congregational church, was opened' on
Saturday as a grocery and meat market.
C. T. Leonard do Sou have completed

A fashionable wedding is to take place
in the Congregational church, on the
evening of October 3. The contracting
parties all reside on West street.
The framework for the new draw on
the town bridge is up, and the work is
progressing favorably. It is expected to
open the bridge for travel by the middle
of next month.
The president's and directors’ room in
the First National Bank is being renovated

taking his constitutional, i. e., a walk from
the city to the borough and return. Few
men of his age are to be found that can
do likewise.
The pier at Wilson Point was nearly
all occupied on Saturday!' afternoon by
snapper fishers, but the fish didn’t bite
worth a cent, they having been so liberally
supplied with food by the Danbury' train
men for the past few days, that they
couldn’t eat another morscl. '
Candidates are numerous for the ncmi—
nation and election of Democratic sherifI.
We predict that no man as worthy or
capable as cx-Mayor Swartz will receive
it, for it has been the assertion of the
liquor dealers and beer brewers, that they
would make choice of a candidate for
sheriff. .
“Rob.” McDonald, chief of Plaisted’s
drug store in this city, left on the Sunday
night train for a horuc visit at Bath,
Maine. Some say he has gone to see “the
girl he left behind him." As he will not
be obliged to charge soda water fountains
while away, his return in due season
may be expected. _
Tire residence being erected on the cor-
ner of Hanford place and Main street for
the occupancy of Mr. Goldsmith of the
Corset company, and owned by E. A.
Woodward, is approaching completion.
It presents a very tasteful appearance and
is a decided improvement to that part of
our city.
The friends of Mr. Geo. Ford, J r., are
pleased to learn that thelast of the checks
paid out and endorsed by him, and not
paid by the drawer, and consequently rc-
turucd to the parties who had received
them from Mr. Ford as "not good,” have
been paid by him in full, thus disproving
the charges of intentional fraud.
The planking between the rails of the
track of the Danbury and Norwalk rail-

ing from the platform of the Consolidated
road on Railroad square, will be duly up—

from the depot. It will save many a fall,
and much soiling of boots and shoes.
The “tocsin” has been sounded, |and
before the next regular issue of the
GAZBTEE, the nomination and election of
city, town, and borough officers will have
been made. There is a disposition hero
to retain if possible the present board of
selectmcn,but an effort will be made to
elect new assessors, and all city officers.
Some will be surprised at their nomina-
tion and election, not having expected it,
or sought for it.
‘5 South Norwalk must be a bad place for
livers, if the stories told of the great sales
made by “pow-wow medicine men" at
their encampment are true; for according
to report, seven out of ten of the inhabi-

purchased a liver pad, or the $1.00 liver
cure. The Indians continue to dance with
executing great joy. If “Barnum"couid
be found he might learn a useful lesson
here.
A. R. Ackert has met with financial
troubles. It seems strange that a summer
resort, the natural beauties of which can
not be surpassed along our coast, should
forever be so unfortunate in the manage-
ment of its business interests. It was
fondly hoped by our people when Mr.
Ackert became the proprietor, it would
be a permanent matter and be frequented
by hosts of those who could appreciate
the beauties of Rotou. It is to be desired
that another year will bring more fortu~
of the most beautiful places in our vicin-

Engineer Sanford, employed by' the
“Shell Fish Commissioners" in locating
oyster grounds, sent a box of Oysters to
two of the boarders of the Mahackemo
on Saturday Inst. These oysters were
grown at Clinton, in this state, and are
probably the best oysters grown any-
where. Thc ground on which they are
plantcdlis hard bottom, and clear water,
and the oysters are placed when one year
old singly on this bottom, and are then
" ‘hrought up by hand,” being periodically
turned over by hand, and when three
years old they readily bring $10 per
barrel. There are but three cultivators,
the grounds suited being limited. Boston
gets most of them, though occasionally a
few find their way to New York, when
some New Yorker of Clintonite descent
wishes to give a grand spread.
The facts concerning the drowning of
the little Byxbcc boy are found to be
different from what was given in Satur-
day’s Gazu'rrn. Mr. Disbrow and Mr.
Curtis of the Lock factory, were returning
to their boat stake just below the draw
bridge, when Chas. E. Curtis, stepping to
the bow of his boat, saw the little fellow
floating face down close to the stake. He
reached down and pulled him into the
boat and seeing a row boat near by, he
called the occupant to come and hurry the
body to the shore. This was done,. and
the body lifted on the steamboat dock,
where nnavailing efforts were made for
his recuscitation. A pathetic feature of
the sad case is that it was the little feliow’s
fifth birthday, and at the time he fell into
the water and was taken-out and convey-
ed to the shore, his father, all unconscious
of what was transpiring, was on the
bridge viewing thejmcn working on the

Norwalk’s New Storage Reservoir.
No better selection for a storage reser
voir could have been made than the one
now in progress of construction in the
town of Lewisboro, N. Y., about three
miles from the village of Ridgefield, and
12 miles from Norwalk. Nestling be-
tween two abrupt ridges in the rear of
land of Messrs. Wakeman, Hoyt and
others, is a natural basin covering about
15 acres. A suitable dam is being built,
under the efilcient superintendency of Mr.
George W. Cram, the well known Nor-
walk contractor,- to confine the aqueous
element in this basin which flows from a
water .shed of nearly 1,100 acres. which
when completed will store for the use of
Norwalk’s consumers an abundance of
water. The estimated capacity is from
65,000,000 to 75,000,000 gallons. Into
this new reservoir will flow the Codridge
brook 4,000 feet in length with a water
acres; the streams emptying into the
Harvey Hoyt pond has a water shed of
400 acres, and in addition there are two
other smaller brooks having a water shed
of from 75 to 100 acres making a total water
shed of 1,100 acres flowing into this res-
ervoir. The building of the dam, which
was begun the latter part of May, is mak-
ing gratifying progress under the per
sonal supervision of Mr. Cram, who is
doing the work by the day, and be ex-
- pacts to have the reservoir finished by the
middle of November. At present about
50 men are employed. Nature greatly
assists in the construction of the dam, as
plenty of stone is found in the immediate
vicinity, and the west bank furnishes
suitable sand for mortar and soil for
puddling purposes. At the east end of
the dam is a massive ledge of solid rock,
and the masonry is being tied into it by
having a channel blasted into the stone.
This will render the dam additionally
secure. Great care is being taken with
1hc building of the dam which rests on is
solidly prepared foundation of hard pan,
all stone and perishable material having
been removed. . The lower or south side
is built of rubble masonry laid in cement,
and the upper side of earth with a puddle
ditch running through it. This paddled
soil forms so solid 11 mass that water can
never percolate it The upper slope will
have a rip rap. The dam will contain in
all1,500 yards of firm masonry. It has
a wall base of 14 feet and when com-
pleted will be 64 feet in width at the bot
tom, 22 feet at the top, 25 feet in height,
and 120 feet in length. The waste weir
will be at the east end of the rock portion
of the dam, and a channel 25 feet wide is
being blasted through the ledge, thus form
ing a passage that will never wash away.
The depth of water in the reservoir will
be about 15 feet, the width some 500 feet
and the length fully a quarter of a mile.
Before reaching the present storage
reservoir the water will have to flow over
the rocky bed of the river a distance of
three miles which will have a tendency to
pretty effectually filter it. When the
overflow from the new reservoir ceases in
time of drought the outlet will be through
a pipe about a foot in diameter. The dry
season has favored the construction of the
dam, but there being a prolific spring at
the base considerable pumping had to be
be resorted to, making extra cost and lit:-
lay.

The Farmer’s Exchange at the Fair.
The feature of the farmer's exhibit'at
show of farm products, and their arrange-
ment made by the Wilton Farmers club.
The exhibit as a whole, or in detail, was
an excellent one, and having a member of
the club always on hand to explain to
brother cultivators, or those present inter-
ested in the cultivation of fruits and gar-
den products, gave dcservedly great satis-
faction. To farmers it was in reality a
"far mers exchange," where- they could
exchange views and talk over the method
of cultivation and fertilization of various
crops, and arrange for the mutual ex-
change of seeds and plants. This is a fea-
ture that should be copied by farm culti-
vators in every town, and when this is
done, our agricultural fairs will be better
attended, and their usefulness greatly ex-
tended. ‘
It will be needless, perhaps; to say that
this “Farmers Exchange” had no sort of
connection with a "Farmers Exchange"
that graced the grounds a few years since,
where the exchange sought was, that the
farmers should exchange their money, for
oysters and rum, principally the latter.

An examination of these figures will be
profitable to each taxpayer and voter now
that election is so near and we must do-
cide whether it is advisable to Continue
the present system of administration or
make a change. Certainly no former
Court has shown a more economical and

Blilee Taylor.
Comic opera is always acceptable, and
the first local performance of the season
will be given at Music Hall this (Tuesday)
evening by the Wilbur Opera company,
which willpresent “Billee Taylor.” This
troupe has had a long series of artistic tri-
.umpha. This season at Manchester, N.
11., they added to their reputation, filling
the Opera House with the largest audience
it ever has had in its history, all the seats
having been sold before the opening of
the doors. The receipts for one night
were over $1,100. The Rochester Herald
says of them: “A deservedly large an-
diencc greeted the Wilbur Opera company
last evening at the Academy when ‘Biilcc
Taylor’ \was presented. ’ The company
maintains its excellence season after sea-
son, and as a natural consequence the
public is correspondingly steadfast in its
appreciation."
A Law Needed Here.
A law of New York requires that every
public reservoir for the storage of water
shall be cleared of all Vegetable matter and
thoroughly coated with gravel. Had such
a sensible law been in-forcc in this state,
the people of the city and borough of Nor-
walk would not have been forced to use
water discolored and contaminated with
decayed and decaying vegetable matter all
these years.

The Little Town Meetings.
On Monday, Oct. 1st, the annual town
election occurs in Norwalk and in most,
if not all, the adjoining towns. In Nor-
walk the Republicans are supposed to
.have a majority. In some of the other
towns, the Democrats have a preponder-
ance of votes. We only have to urge that
everywhere the best men be selected to fill
these important town trusts. If both
parties will only vie with each other in
nominating only the very best elements
within their party organizations, the ab
he will not be slow to recognize, app and
and support such patriotic action.

A Negro Arrested for Horse Stealing Proves to
be the Mach Sought-for Sans Blue.
A negro giving his name as Clarence
Smith was arrested in Hawieyvilie on
Sunday lust for stealing a horse belonging
to Orson Home of Lake ,Mahopac. He
was found by the roadside in a piece of
woods sitting on a log. In his possession
was found a valise containing two revolv-
ers of 32 calibre, a dark lantern,oid coins,
a change of clothes and keys "of various
shapes and sizes. He said he belonged in
New York. He was nearly starved.hav
ing had no food for two days. When ac-
cused of having stolen the horse he con-
fessed, but gave no reason for the crime.
He had a hearing before a Newtown jut
tice and was bound over under $1,000
bonds for horse stealing. On Tuesday
morning Sheriff Crofut took the man to
Ridgefield, and the keys found in his va
ise were identified as belonging to the
firm of Bailey & Gage. At noon he was
taken to Danbury and lodged in the jail-
To give the negro one square meal, he
was taken to a restaurant at night and
while there he was recognized by several
as Sam Pine, the man who assaulted Miss
M. E. Stocum, the Salem school teacher
on June 20. A colored man was sent for
who said the man was his cousin, and
pronounced him the veritable Sam Plus.
The prisoner then turned to Sheriff Cro~
fut and said: “It is allover with me now,
I guess.” Miss Slocum came to Danbury
on Wednesday and being brought face to
face with the prisoner cried out: “He is
the man,” and nearly went into convul-
sions. She was immediately restored,
and a moment later she took a seat in front
of him and looked steadily at him. Pine
did not meet her gaze. She then went
into another room and looked at him
through a door. He was taken into that
room and she saw his face in all lights.
She then said emphatically, “He is the
man." During all this time no questions
were asked Pine and he did not utter a
word. From the house he was taken to
the sheriff’s office, and in the afternoon
was taken to Bridgeport.
photographed and then taken tothe jail.
Pine, whose real name is Samuel Norman
Riley. is a mnlatto, of medium size,
has a rather intelligent face and is fairly
well educated. His first offense was com-
mitted in Danbury when a boy. at which
time he stole some barns and was sent to
the Reform school. It is believed that
be murdered his wife in Babylon, L. 1.,
some four years ago.

The organ concert at the Baptist church
last Friday evening drew so large an au-
dience that extra seats had to be pro-
vided. The vocal numbers on the pro-
gramme were acceptably rendered by the
Misses Alice Sellcck and Minnie Potter'
and the Sypmhonia Quartettc. The
qualities and capacities of the organ were
exhibited to good advantage by Mr. E.
B. Jardine of New York. The instrument
which is of‘ considerable size, containing -
ncrrly 1,700 pipes, was built some years
ago by Hall of New York, and has recent-
ly been refitted by Jardine& Son, from
whom it was purchased. It is of fine
quality, has many soft stops of great del-
icacy and beauty of tone, and notwith-
standing its size, 'is not too powerful for
the church. We congratulate the Baptists
upon having secured so satisfactory an
organ, with which tojrender their services
additionally attractive. \ -' '.

theft but failed to‘aceeuntforthe presence

watching his opportunity, gave Mr. Ben-
nett a stunning blow "in. the 'zfacs. Alia

let him go for the time, but, knowing the

Piano, I bought of you some three years since, has given us great satisfaction. We
are delighted with its sweet, rich tone.
It stands in tune remarkably, requiring only
two tunings in the three years, and that with constant use. We can cheerfully re-
