No Parallel.
The statement of the Consolidated Rail.
road corporation in its recent report, that
' the reason no progress had been made in
the much discussed construction of its
four tracks was because the falling 03 0‘
its freighting business did not at present
‘justify the outlay, recalls a statement
made to us just after the republicans of
NorWalk had efiected the defeat of their
own candidate for state senator by Mr.
Joseph Richardson. Mr. R. is not only a
practical railroad builder and large in-
vestor in railroad securities, but a remark.
' ably sagacious and far‘seeing man withal.
Deriding the idiocy of our republicans in
defeating Mr. Cowies on the baseless sup.
position that he would prove inimical to
the parallel railroad scheme were he elect-
ed, Mr. R. remarked that had our people
had any sense they would have foreseen
that 'not only would no parallel railroad
be built for at least two years to come,
but that all work on the New York and
New Haven’s two extra tracks up from
New York would cease, because of the
demoralization .in all kinds of business
and the inevitable approach of a period of
great business depression and financial
stringency, the direct result of the unfor-
tunate free-trade utterances made in Con-
gress by a set of mad-cap democrats. The
business men of the country had lost con-
fidence in the men who had obtained
political control in the lower House of
Congress, and the election of their presi-
dent would not only prolong the period
of stringency and depression, but would
so far extend the feeling of distrust that
railroad incomes and securities would
be particularly injured. That receipts
from the freight and passenger traffic of
the country would fall off so greatly that
it would stop all attempts to build new
roads for many months to come. His
words seem to have been prophetic.
W
Mr. Colfax and Hi! Accuser.
Political animosities are silent at the
grave. When a man is gone even his ene-
mies are ready to give him a fair hearing.
What Mr. Colfax said in 1880, after the
. death of Mr. Ames, was this, and no one
whoever truly knew him, could believe
that it was not said sincerely:
“Mr. Ames is dead; and grievously as
he wronged me, I. hope that it was the
confusion and excitement of his mind,
with consequent impairment of memory
at the time and his over anxiety to justify
himself, that caused him to testify as he
did. But as you have brought me info
this discussion, I repeat again, as 1 did
seven years ago, that. as I hope for God‘s
favor at the judgement day, I never re-
ceived a dollar from Mr. Ames in money
or check; that I abandoned totally, and
at the loss of what I had paid on it, and
four years before there was a breath of
scandal, an inchoate contract for twenty
shares of this stock; that I never held nor
owned therefore, any stock in it, and that
I never saw the check payable to S. C._ or
bearer till the very week in 1873 on which
he swore that he had paid it to me asa
dividend in June, 1868. Nothing qould
tempt me to exchange, my present enjoya-
ble and independent life for any'publlc
service; and I do not say this, therefore,
to aflect public opinion, but because I am
sure that in the future, at that last day,_lf
not before, the truth I have written Will
be made manifest to all my fellow citizens
and the rest of mankind.”

The 20th Conn. Vols’. Monument.
The subscriptions for the placing of a
monument on the field of Gettysburg by
the Twentieth regiment, C. V., to mark
the principal locality of their exploits have
so far advanced as to lead Col. Wooster,
chairman, of the monument committee, to
risk the ordering of the stone which is to
be similar to that erected by the Seven-
teenth regiment, and which is now being
cut at Stratford by Messrs. Curtiss d;
ughcs.
Considerable more money will be needed
than has been pledged. It is hoped, there.
fore that the --burden of the balance will.
not be left for the veterans themselves to
shoulder. It is desired, in addition to the
cost of the stone that sufiicient money
shall be raised to pay the fare at least of
such of the veterans as are not able to
aflord the trip to the grounds on the occa-
sion of the dedication July 3, which it is
intended shall- be interesting. The mon-
ument will cost about $1,600.

Estate Millions Wanted.
Chester N. Case of New York city has
advertised for the heirs of Colonel Asahel
Langworthy. who, he says, have a legal
- claim to the city of Galveston, Texas.
More than half a century ago the colonel
was a prominent and successful lawyer in
New York. 1832 he married, and dispos.
ing of his estate here, he went to Texas.
In 1834 he bought 5,000 acres, on which
Galveston now stands, from the Spanish
Government. The surveyor of the land is
still alive but the colonel and his wife; died
afew years ago, leaving two daughters,
who married two New York men, whose
names Mr. Case does not know. These
ladies entered aclaim for the land some
years ago which they were unable to sus-
tain in the absence of the original field
These have been
found and now the claimants are missing.
Mr. Case was a former well-known resi
dent of Norwalk. To a ans'r'rs reporter
he stated that he had no doubts as to the
legality of the above claim.

instructed to pay to the water commission-

able to meet interest on the water bonds

The County Commiuionership. ' V
In the republican county caucus held
last week, for the purpose of nominating
a commissioner for Fairfleld. county, the
vote, after several ballots, stood as fellwos:
C. B. Wheeler, of Monroe, 9; F. O. Seeley,
of Bridgeport, 7. Some votes were pre-
viously cast for J. W. Johnson, of Esston,
but his name was withdrawn and his forces
transferred to Mr. Wheeler. The latter’s
nomiatlon wassecured through treachery
on the part of some of the delegates. But
Mr. Wheeler has made a fairly good com
missioner, and he will probably continue

‘OUB WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wasmneron, Jan.,26, ’85
Dana Guerra—Congress has accom-
plished very little the past week to
commend the approving plaudits of the
Nation. The House may be' said to have
frittered away the entire week in dis-
graceful inaction, when the press of
considered. Saturday evening an effort
was made to get up and pass the Mexican
pension bill, but the southern democrats,
chiefly, fillibustered an adjournment and
thus defeated it for the time. In most of -
its features, this is the fairest and most
equitable pension bill that has yet claimed
the attention of Congress or the people.‘
In the Senate, the Nicaragua treaty con-
sumed most of its time. Mr. Edmunds
is reported to have made a masterly
argument in its favor. The supposition
is that the Senate will pass the treaty, but
the House will defeat its consummation
when called upon to appropriate for-it;
Some democratic members have been
heard to predict that were the House to
join the Senate in this movement, it
would result in forcing a war upon the
their party and the Cleveland administra-
tion. ,
'rns ANTHONY numeric.—
Probably never in the history of the
Senate, were more sincere and feeling
addresses made in memory of 'a dead
member, than the eulogies pronounced
last week in honor of the late Senator
Anthony. Mr. Aldrich, his former eel;
league, opened with a most tender, and
faithful portrayal of the life and character
of his dead friend. Mr. Edmunds was
afleeted to tears, in the delivery of his
short address.- Mr. Hoar,— °. e on
Gen. Hawley and others; paid eloquent
tributes to the deceased. It was a slug,
ular fact that the most tender and
touching sentiments expressed were..the
quotations made from Mr. Anthony’s own
obituary addresses. His great and pure
hesrtand generous, tender. and loving”
nature, made Mr. Anthony a master of
Elegalc address. His few, brief words,
spoken on the occasion of his delivering
the body of Senator Sumner to the Gov-
ernor of Massachusetts, are'among the
choicest gems 6i our literature. '

Mrs. Lafayette S. Foster writes from
Norwich, under date of January 15th to
Senator Sherman as chairman of the li.

late husband. The bust has not yet
reached the capitol, but the committee
has notified Mrs. Foster that it has
unanimously voted its acceptance and on
receipt of the bust, its action will be
reported to the Senate. I Mr._Foster was a
member of our Legislature in 1839, ’40,
’46, ‘47, ’48 and '54, and speaker in #47,
‘48, and ’54. He was elected to the U. S.
Senate for six years from March 4th, 1855
and served to March 8d,, 1867, when he
was succeeded by the late Orris S. Ferry
of Norwalk. At the extra session of 1865
Mr. Foster was chosen president pro tem
of the Senate, and upon the accession of
Vice-President Johnson to the presidency
he became acting vice-president. In 1869
Mr. Foster was chosen professor of law
in the Yale Law school, and in 1870 he
was promoted to a seat on the bench of
the supreme court of Connecticut. The
bust is the work of Charles Calverly of
New York.

Since the passage of the bill to send
French spoilations to the court of claims,
congressmen and others here have begun
to be flooded with letters of inquiryfrom
the heirs of such claimants. Ex-Senator
A. H. Cragin of New Hampshire, has
opened an office here and will make the
care of such claims a specialty in his law
practice. Connecticut claimants cannot
secure a more upright, energetic or com-
petent attorney to prosecute their claims.
m MUSIC amiss.
The democrats seem so stupidly infatu-
ated by their unexpected election of CicVe.
land that they really don’t know what to do
or how or when to do it. Representative
Mitchell is already made to feel the dis-
comforts of having patronage to bestow.
The commission of the Merlden postmas-
ter recently expired, and the Meriden
democratic managers are urging him to
prevent the re-confirmation of the present
incumbent so the decks may be free and
clefir on the fourtli'of March for some
democratic patriot at thirst for an ' office.
But this bears no comparison to the “ cir-
cus" in store for him in _New Haven.
There the two best federal ofiices in the
state are located, and nearly a dozen of
his most ardent supporters are already
after the post office and collectorsliip.
Mitchell cannot yield to the importunlties
of one claimant without enraging all the
others, and which way to turnlie does not
know. It is understood thatV‘Mr."Mitchell
desires most of all that Hon. Charles R.
Ingersoll should be invited into Mr. Cleve
land’s cabinet, even though it be at the
cost of a conspicuous “snub" to Mr. Wm.
H. Barnum, to whom Mr. Cleveland owes
his success more than to any other man in
the whole country. It was stated about
the capitol after Mr. B. had left us last
week that he would be content to await
his chances of being returned to the Sea-
ate two years hencc, in the event the in.
coming president saw fit to pass him by
and select someone else as his New Eng-
land member‘. Mr. Frank Jenes, of New
Hampshire, one of the largest contributors
to the Cleveland election fund, is being
influentially urged for the navy portfolio,
and it has transpired that personally Mr.
Clevelandhasquitcastrong tic of admira-
tion and aflection for our err-Gov. Walls .
This latter fact is an element of disquietude
to the New Haven .coterie of democratic
patriotsasthey fear Mr. Waller will be.
given some important foreign mission.
and that would kill the Chances of such
statesmen as Hon. Colin M.' Ingersoli.
"Hon. C. B. Bowers, and Hon. J. D.
Gallagher. who prefer the New Haven
post office, but failing to get that
insist upon some creditable position
abroad above that of the ordinary consul-
ate. They realize that although Connec-
ticut cast her electoral vote for Clevelaild
she is a very small and politically a very
uncertain state. In addition to those
named above as desiring the New Haven
post office there are Editor Troup, (who
certainly deserves it at Mr. ,Mitchell’s
handsifanybody does), the Hon. J. D.
Plunkett, the Hon. Chas. R. Wheedon,
and rather than have it go out of the fam-
ily it is said that the. present incumbent’s
brother, the Hon. Lucius W. Sperry, could
be induced to accept it. Mr. Gallagher
prefers the pest ofiice, and his second
choice is the collectorship, but a foreign
appointment where the work was light
and the honors heavy would be accepted
rather than nothing as a slight recognition
of the years he has devoted on council,
and on stump, and by lavish contributions,
to promote the success of his party. It

of returning as a United States senator is ;
Of ex-Senator and Governor English’s ex-
pectations and chances we have heard no
mention made. It is evident that Mr.
Mitchell,has a very hot kettle of lish on his.
hands, and his friends see but one way
out of it without ruin to his own bright
political future. As all these hungry
patriots are his friends it is decided that
he must decide in favor of the two candi-
dates-for the post officennd the collector-
ship who shall bring to him the two most
infiuentially and largest numerically signed
petitions fflim the New Haven democracy.
There is no other avenue of escape for
him and, as there is scarce five weeks left
now before the inauguration, the man
who expects to win in this race cannot
start out with his petition papers a mo-
ment too soon.
Nor will these petitions quite clear
- away all the difficulties. Mr. Sperry’s
commission as postmaster expires March
10. He was among the very first to be
appointed by President Lincoln. His 91’-
tice of all the offices in the country has
been pro-eminently the model post office.
Had he lived anywhere outside of New
England it is an open secret that he would
have been made postmaster-general by
President Garfield. Moreover Mr. Sperry
is the genuine old and original civil ser-
' vice-reform Dr. Jacobs. He may be said
to. be really the father of that scheme, and
one of its most consistent friends in advo-
cacy. andpraotica as well. It is told here
of him that“, the _letter of President-elect

OBITUAHY NOTES.
morn? T.MEBWIN.
Timothy T. Merwin, who died in
Brooklyn, N. Y., recently, was for some
years a lavvyer here and for a time editor
of the Guerra. He commenced practice
in Norwalk in 1829, soon after the election
of Judge Bissell to the Bench. . He was a
son of Rev. Samuel Merwin, long time
pastor of the North church in' New
Haven. He was a brother of Rev. S. J.
M. Merwin, late pastor in Wilton, also
of Mrs. Charles Marvin. He had several
other sisters. He graduated from Yale
College in 1897. In 1830 he married a
daughter of Col. Moss White of Danbury,
and one of the sisters of William A.,
Granville, Col. Nelson and A. M. White.
This lady was also a sister of the first and
second wives of Charles Merritt, Esq.
. Mr. and Mrs. Mcmin litrcd for a timcin

then in the Charles. Hoyt place, after S.
lW. Benedict. Their children are An-
gustus, now of Wilton; Mary, who has
kept house for her father many years in
Brooklyn; N. Y.: and Rev. A. Vi.
Merwin, who, for a number of years, has
been a missionary of the Presbyterian}
Board in Chili, S. A., and who is now in
this country in a furlough.
Mr. Merwin was a man of excellent
parts, of literaryrtastcs and well read.
He was a versatile and ready writer and
conversationalist, and a genial and true
friend. He died on the 15th instant after
a long illness. The funeral services were
:conducted by ‘his paslor, Rev. B. S.
Storrs, D. -D., the interment being made
in Danbury. He and his wife were both
former members of the First Congrega-
tional church here. - » -

, There ,has- been, probably, :no event
which has so thoroughly awakened feelings
of sympathy and sorrow inthe public heart
than has the death, during the past week,
of the two McDonald sisters. .Both were
victims of the same fell disease, diphtheria,
and both contracted the disease in nursing
another sister who had been stricken with
it. The peculiarly sad manner of their
taking of! was sufficient to-..arouse tne
heartiest sympathy in all hearts capable
of being‘moved by an exhibition of heroic
martyrdom to sister love. And the bur-
den of grief seems still more crushing
from the fact of the universal esteem in
which the deceased Were held by the
whole circleof-their acquaintances. This
affliction is indeed one of thosevisitations
that test the faith of the faithfulin the
- infinite goodness find; love of Him whom
they are taught to believe “doeth all
things well." And yet whatever he the
the lesson that it brings; whatever the
discipline it'administers, we see even in
the crushing force of, the blow, the evi.
dence of His tender mercy, for, while it
bowa down the heart, it paralyzes the
faculty for fully. comprehending the be-
reavement until time’s gradual process
evolves rebellion into reconciliation.

Mrs. Eunice W. Rogers, who died on
the 16th inst., had been for the past thirty.
or more years an honored resident of this
place. Quiet, unobtrusive and unoaten-
tatious she lived a happy home life with
her children at the family-residence on
East avenue. She was a regular attend.
ant at St. Paul’s church, and devoted
much of her time'to the aiding of various
missions connected therewith. She was
possessed with deep and kindly feeling,
and made her daily life an example to all
who came in contact with her. She was

whose every whitened hair spoke of some
earnest work for some other’s welfare.

Only those who have lost an only and

grief of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Parker over
the death of their little daughter, Mattie,
aged 1 years-lllmos. and 28 days. The
sad event occurred on Sunday morning,
the illness being scarlet ‘ fever. Little
Mattie was a bright little-child, and had
reached an age when the heart strings of
her parents were more tenderly knit
about her and when she seemed thellght
and joy of her home. Her loss throws a
chilling shadow over a happy hearth, and
Mr. and Mrs. Parker will have the sym.

revival in 1881, and afterwards at West,
port, and was one of thcbes of men and
of pastors. Mrs. Benedict was possessed
of great personal charms and sweetness of
character, as was her sister, wife of Rev.
Mr. Saunders, formerly pastor at South
Salem, N. Y. Mrs. Benedict leaves
several children, among them being
Henry Martin and Elias Cornelius Bene-
dict. Esqs., who aregsuccessful bankers
and brokers. The interment was made in
Greenwich.
Mr. A r. Burbank'l Recitals. .
In the field of dramatic reading Mr.
Burbank'stands without a peer. He is
gifted with wide capacity, keen intelli-
gence, and the mysterious power of en-
chantmcnt which makes him a master in
his art. He has just co/mpleted’his elev.
enth professional year, and has given more
than 1,500 public entertainments. In 1879
' he visited Europe and his reception in
London was almost phenomenal. He was
regarded the best exponent of genuine
American humor yet heard. The leading
journals gave him enthusiastic and un-
qualified praise. ' His racy humor electrl.
fled their audiences and furnished them
with a new sensation. In Paris he. gave a
series of recitals discovering- even to _the
Parisians a novel pleasure in his ' artistic
character delineations. ’
MnBurban‘k'riilt‘s a strikiflg resemblance
to Mr. Henry Irving, the celebrated Eng-
lish actor—while in London was often
‘ mistaken for him—and happily he resem-
bles him sodos'ely. in many of the charac-
teristics of mind which have made Irving
great, that he has frequently been called
the Amnioan'lrrt‘ng. Next Monday even-
ing, at the Congregational church, South
Norwalk,he willpresent a rich and varied '
programme including the famous ghost
scene from “Rip Van Winkle." Let the
people of Norwalk give him a welcome
worthy of his fame.
