frey suicide. Judging from the accounts

The question is asked us, “Would Mr.
Hyatt vote for his own confirmation,
should Gov. Waller reappoint him Bank
Commissioner again next July?" We
havn’ta doubt but he would should his
vote he required to give liiui his two sala

have too much confidence in the good sense
of Democrats themselves to think he can
ever get into the Senate.

would have proved fatal. The wounded
man come to the city, where he received
the attention of ‘Dr. Emily I’ardee. In
the mean time Hartwick procured a war-

An exchange speaks of a very pleasant
gathering at the Hamilton homestead in
Chester, Mass, on the 10th, to celebrate

riage of Rev. P. A. Hamil on. The
“Homestead" is one of the oldest in the
region, and is still in possession of one of
the descendants. Several of the numer-
ous family of the late John Hamilton
were present. Rev. J. A. Hamilton, re-
cently of Norwalk, two other sons, and
the four daughters who survive were
among the number present. A botintiful
collation was provided; valuable presents
and warm greetings and congratulations
wore given. After singing of family
hymns and prayer, a poem composed for
the occasion was read.
Of the Flying Dutchman, which occu-
pies the boards at Music Hall, to-uiorrow
evening, the Trenton, N. J ., Gazette says:
“The Flying Dutchman is a play found-
ed on the legend of the Dutch captain
who, trying to double the cape in the face
of a heavy gale, swore to accomplish his
purpose, even though he should have to
sail till doomsday. For this he was
doomed to roam for ever ever the ocean.
The production of the drama last evening
by Flockton & Edwards’ combination was
successful throughout. The company has
been on the road but a short time, but ev-

desired. All the parts were in good
hands. Alarge audience witnessed the
performances, and the company has ar-
ranged for a return visit later in the sea-
son.”

Rose Eytiiige in Rose Michel.
The appearance of Miss Rose Eytingc
in her original character of Rose Michel
attracted a large audience to the People's
theatre, last night. Those who went in
the hope of sceinga good play, well acted,
were not disappointed. Besides Miss
Eytinge, whose dramatic powers have
seldom been seen to greater advantage,
Mr. Cyril Searle made a success and
played with an unusual truth to nature,
the role of Pierre Michel. The audience
showed no lack of interest during the en-
tire performance, and at the close of each
set the principal performers were vocifer-
ously applauded and constrained to come
before the curtain and how their acknowl—
edgment.—-New York Herald.
To this most deserving notice can only
be added the fact that Miss Eytinge will
appear at Music Hall, Friday evening, in
Rose Michel. That a crowded house will
greet her there can be no doubt.

The last is one of the rules likely to be
rescinded as soon as the “Parallel" is in
operation.
The Parallels.
The engineer of the Olnistead parallel,
accompanied by Mr. O. and the railroad
commissioners, traced the line of their
proposed road from Norwalk to the new
state line, on'chncsday and Thursday
last. It is understood that the “lay out"
is generally acceptable, though there is
some objection on the part of a few prop«
erty holders in the village of Greenwich,
whose homesteads are affected by the lay-
out. The commissioners will decide as
to highway crossings, the crossing of the
New Canaan railroad, and the like, when
it is expected they will fully accept this
end of the line, which will complete their
entire route between New Haven and
Port Chester. President Olmstcad’s com-
parry has until next March to complete
all preliminaries and then it must com-
mence the construction of the road or
abandon the project unless a further
postponement should be granted by the
railroad commissioners.
Meantime, the Hartford and Harlem
people are actively at work. Their engi-
neers are now making surveys for a line
which shall not at any point lap or en
croach upon the Olmstead line. They
claim that the reason their former line
was found to conflict with the Olmstead
line, was because the maps of the latter
were misleading and varied so much from
their actual surveys that their coming in
collision was an unavoidable and not in-
tentinnal result. This will be remedied
as soon as possible when the railroad
commissioners will again be called upon
to accept their revised layout. They
state that they have "come to stay,” and
as a scheme was developed in Boston,
Thursday, which is supposed to mean the
capture of the New England road by
friend. of the Hartford & Harlem, it
looks as though the old claim was valid
that this enterprise has for its purpose
a through line from New York to Bos-
ton. They owna special charter, they
claim, from Port Chester to Harlem river,
opposite Second avenue, and thus have
the means of entrance into New York
city already secured, which the Olmstead
people have not and which must greatly
delay if it does not entirely defeat the
construction of their road asat present
circumstanced.
The above is a fair statement of the
respective claims of the two rival “paral-
lels.’ The Intelligent reader will find
himself in the situation of “you pays
your money and takes your choice."

The enterprising Morning News of New
Haven, has been to the pains of sending
a reporter to Norwalk, to interview our
two senatorial candidates. After stating
the fact that Mr. Baker carried the dis»
trict two years ago by 528 majority and
018 plurality, and would carry it again,
among other good things the News says:
And now the Republicans have come
up smiling once more with Mr. Baker
again as their candidate.
“Of course he will be elected,” is what
everybody says down here. In fact this
is the precise language of Mr. James W.
Hyatt—Bank Commissioner—whom the
Democrats have named as Mr. Baker’s
competitor.
I met Mr. i-lyatt a day or two ago. He
was busy. He is always busy. He is
probably the busiest mart in the whole
district. He isa monopolist. He owns
the horse railroad which connects South
Norwaik with Norwalk, and he counts all
the receipts him. When I told him my
business he smiled.
“You enterprise pleases me," he said.
“The Parallel railroad qutstion has crea‘-
cd much feeling here, probably more than
in any other part of the State. But there
is one good reason why you must excuse me
from a talk—I am not going to be elected.
I known it, and other people know it.
This I will say irankly,however,if by any
accident I should be chosen 1 shall go to
the senate absolutely free and unpledged.
I have made promises to nobody."
The diamonds in Mr. Hyatt’s shirt
front flashed brightly as he wheeled
around in his office chair and relapsed into
silence.
Candidate Baker is an older man than
Candidate Hyatt, and he is less afraid of
newspaper men. Indeed, Mr. Bakeris one
of the pleasantest, and apparently one of
the frankest rueu alive. Outspoken Gill‘-
dor is one of the things for which lie is
famous among his neighbors. He was a
representative in the Legislature of ’70,
’77 and ’81. In ’79 and ’80 he was State
Treasurer, elected on the ticket with
genial Governor Andrews. He left the
Treasurer’s ofiice to go to the StateSeuate
iii ‘82 and ’83. During one of these years
he was chairman of the finance committee
and during the other was at the head of
the Committee on Railroads.
"So far as I can see," said Mr. Baker,
“there is little likelihood of much agita-
tion at Hartford this winter. Yes, there
may be some demand made one way and
the other by the temperance folks and
their usual opponents. Liquor, I suppose
will always be sold, and under this cir-
cumstances I think that it should be
handled under a license law, so that those
who profit by the traffic can be made to
pay ntlcast for a part of the mischief they
do. I do not believe that there is going
to be any radical legislation on the sub»
ject. I most certainly shall not seek it.
“What about railroads? How do you
stand on the matter of legislation for cr-
porations?" asked the [Morning News coi-
respondent.
"I am what some people would call an
out and out Parallel railroad man,” was
the reply. “I have nothing against the
Consolidated road. It is agreat institu-
tion. Not only Connecticut, but rill New
England owes much to it. It; is admirably
—-—ir.most perfectly managed, and every
man who has watched it must he impress-
cd with its importance and the great ben-
efits our state derives from it. And it is
with all else than the purpose of war
upon the Consolidated that I take any
stand in favor of Parallel projects.
“Our state tapers down to New York
asif designed properly by nature to pro-
vide homes for the armies of people who
overcrowd the metropolis. The elevated
railroads bring these people to our very
door. We should take them in. Con-
necticut is peculiarly adapted for residen-
ces, particularly down townrdthc New
York linc. Give New York a chance to
build residences here, and millions of
money will be brought into the state.
Why should we not profit by this oppor-
tunity? AsI look at it we need more
railroad facilities, or rather we can utilize
more railroads. The present railroad sys-
tem, I think, would be benefited by the rid
ditiou. I would like to see more than one
new road. I would like to see railways
radiating out from New York shooting
up through our state until we had a
very coir-web of facilities. Each new
road would mean more business and I am
thoroughly convinced that a parallel road,
instead of injuring the Consolidated,
would eventually add to its business by
aiding to build up the state with a rapid-
ity that otherwise is impossible. A new
road means new citizens and new trade
and much of it. Individually I do not
care a tinker's whistle for railroad affairs.
I have no personal ends to subserve, no
private interests at stake. But the state,
I am convinced, would profit by new
roads and as ii. servant of the common—
Wealth, as a citizen desiring to see Con-
necticut best served—I am in favor of
legitimate parallel schemes, though I
should be prompt to join in condemning
and upsetting any scheme which I believed
to have! no object but speculation ard
stock-jobbing. ;
“Now here is another fact which leads
me to favor parallels," added Mr. Baker.
“They will bring working men among us.
There is no class of people who make
better citizens than railroad empluytes.
Any work which shall provide us with
such substantial men should be welCermed.
Then, too, it is not without interest to re-
member that a new road would bring into
the state, or rather create, taxable property
to the amount of $5,000,000 or $10,000,000
and so pay from $50,000 to $100,000 of
the lakes which otherwise would be levied
upon other people in the state.

“ One More Unfortunate."
Early yesterday morning a young son
of Mr. Dooley, who resides on the
Great Marsh road, saw the body of a
woman floating in the narrow cut up
through the salt marsh and nearly oppo-
site the new hum of the late Morris
Kelcliuin." The boy spread the news and
aid coming, the remains were conveyed to
the Ketchum barn and Coroner Dr. Pow-
ers, of Westport, was notified. Ouin-
vestigation it proved to be the body of
Mrs. Edmund Godfrey who resides on
Union Place. Wliyor how she came-
therein shrouded in mystery. IIer hur-
band parted from her in the morning
happily on going to work and she seemed
in her usual health and spirits. Her eld-
est son was working at lathing the new
house of Rufus Wakeman just across the
Saugatuck bridge and it is possible the
mother may have intended to go to him
as no other motive can be conceived for
her being in that vicinity. Aneighbor
called on her some time after hcrhus
band’s departure and found her sewing,
although complaining of feeling dis-
tressed. Between three and fortr o’clock
Thursday eve ning Mrs. J. Fitch Ray-
mond's family saw her walking down the
hill past her house, but although many
workmen are employed about the new
Ketchuni house and grounds, no one saw
her pass there. Just before morning on
Friday, Mrs. Raymond heard footsteps
about her front porch and then heard
them seemingly passing into her wash-
house, but not having recovered from the
fright caused by her late fire. she did not
get up to investigate the norse. She is
now of the opinionthat it was Mrs. God-
frey in a bewildered condition, seeking
shelter. The appearance of the remains
would also indicate that she either pur-
posely walked or fell into the water early
Friday morning when the tide was high.
As the water, however, was not more
than three or four feet deep at any time,
had she fallen and regained her feet, she
could not have drowned. Mrs. G. at
times, it is said, gave way to a diseased
appetite for alcoholic stimulants, and this
may serve as a solution to the distressing
mystery. She was a most artistic and
expert needle woman, and very neat and
tasty in the care of herself and her
two children, of- whom she was particu-
larly proud and fond. She left her table
at home spread over with the sewing she
was doing for acustomer, just as if she
intended but a few moments’ absence.
When found she had $1.80 in her purse.
Her shoes and clothing were not in the
least soiled by the creek mud beneath
where she .was found, showing she could
have made no struggle to save herself.
Her actions do not indicate suicidal in-
tent and had she been in a condition to
have properly cared for herself, it does
not seem possible that she could have
drowned. It is indeed a painful mystery
and sad as Is the conclusion, it becomes
irresistible that the poor creature had
again given way to her appetite for intox-
icants and so sacrificed her life, as count
less thousands of others have done. The
medical examiner gave a permit to Wm.
E. Quintard to remove her remains to her
desolate home and to-day her body will
be buried in the Norwalk cemetery.
Mr. Godfrey is a worthy man and has
