NORWALK GAZETTE.
Tuesday, Feb. 3,1885. _
INTRODUCTORY.
The name of John Rodemeyer, jr.,
appears at the head of our columns this
Week, as associate editor of the Gsznrrn.
Mr. Rodemeyer has been engaged by us
to fill the position vacated by Mr. George
R. Byingt 1n, who recently left Norwalk
to engage in a new and more extensive
enterprise in Washington, D. 0. He will,
therefore, have the entire control and
supervision of the Gamma job office, and
at the same time render valuable service
in the editorial capacity.
Mr. Rodemcyer was for several years
editor of the Connecticut Western New,
and has more recently been engaged in
the job printing business in Bethel, occa-
sionally venting his journalistic ability by
the issuance of an advertising sheet
which, from its being printed on yellow
paper, he facetiously dubbed “ The Yellow
Spasrn.” He is a genial gentleman, a witty
and versatile writer-and will, we trust,
do much to render the old GAZETTE more
interesting every week. We cordially
commend him to our patrons and trust
his reception will be as cordial and kindly
as was our own some two years since.

Quite Another Thing.
The recent contest between Captain
F. O. Seeley, of Bridgeport, and Mr. C.B.
Wheeler, of Monroe, for the position of
county commissioner, was a close and ex-
citing one. Mr. Wheeler was finally nom
inatcd. receiving nine votes as against
seven cast for Captain Seeley. Chief
among the opponents of the latter was
Senator R. Jay Walsh, of Greenwich.
Senator Walsh made a plea for the nom-
ination of Mr. Wheeler.
ABridgeport paper, last week. contained
a communication from “Old Soldier”
charging that, in his remarks, Senator
Walsh used the following sentiment:——“ It
is along time since the war and our party
is tired of the ‘ old soldier' claims.” This
matter coming to our notice we addressed
Mn. Walsh as to the correctness of the
statement. The following letter received
from the senatoria a sufficient refutation :—
LAw Omen or R. J AY WALSH,
Gammon, r., J an. 00, 1885.
Mr Dam Sun—Your letter of thrs date on-
quiring it, "in the caucus for the selection of a
county oommi-sioner for h‘airfield county,” 1
made use of the words: “It is a long time
since the war and our party is getting tired of
the 'old soldier’ claims” -is at hand. [deeply
regret that anyone should charge me With hav—
ing given expression to such an infamous sen-
timent. * f * I neither made use
of such language nor of any words which would
bear such an inter retation- I said then, as}
say now,that“an a rmativo answer to the ingui-
ry is he a soldier?’ should not be an unquestmn
ed and all-controlling passport topoltrcrl ofiice
That I- was "the last man to attempt to detract
from the glory or depreciate the valor of thr-
soldier. The brave defenders of our connrri
did their work nobly and loyally, as men pos—
sessed of inherent patriotism and not. as
schemers, and for that reason I pr! test against
any effort to establish as a :tandard, as th'
sole naliflcation for political preferment, the
proof of a man’s loyal 1y,as such a course coulr'
but tend to the degradation of the soldier anv-
the glorious cause for which he fought.” Sui»
s neatly, and during the some talk, I arr!-
“A l honor to the soldier and all consideration
to his legitimate claims But in selecting 1|
man for county commissioner we should see to
it that we choose a man who shall honor hi»
state, his arty and himself by a faithful anv
competent isobarge of his duties and by his
own good conduct, be he soldier, or be he
civilian.” " ’-‘ *‘
I thank you for the courtesy extended me—
a com tesy which I feel my strict ad herenco t-
the princr has of the republican party and or
many doe s and utterances. both in public and
pr‘vate, in behalf of the soldier, fairly entitles
me. Very reapectfu llv,
B. JAY Wanna.
In the contest for the commissionership
the Guerra favored Captain Seeley. He
would, we believe, have made a good
official and he had strong claims for the
position. But he was defeated and with
his defeat the matter should rest. Though
opposed to our side of the question Sena-
tor Walsh worked and spoke fairly, and
as an unsustained charge has been made
made against him we have deemed it but
just to publish his denial.
His statement is frank and we are in-
clined to think he has been misrepresented.

Pat Reads the Papers.
“ Sownork! ” yelled the brakcman, dart-
iug his head in at the car door just as the
train was steaming into the city.
“Howly mother av Moses defind us!"
howled a terrified Irishman, shoving him-
self under the car seat.
“ What‘s the matter?” asked a fellow
passenger.
“ Matther is id? " shriekcd Pat, his eyes
bulging out with terror. “Arrah, bad
luck to the minute I shtarted. This is
Sowt Norwalluk where the durty hatthers
blowed up the house of parlormint wid
dinnymite powder, may the divil crack

guards watches iv’ry thrain to see is any-
body aboord, an‘ they boycotts thim to
death wid bomb-shells, an’ ates thim raw."
Just at this juncture the automatic air
brake beneath the car gave vent to a sud-
den and spiteful “hiss-s-s-s,” and with a
lugubrious howl he clasped his hands and
ejaculated :—
“Shadea of St. Patrick! we‘re blowed
up. Arrah, m6 own swate Biddy ye’rc a
widdy."
He had been reading the New York
papers.

A Slight Error.
Much has been said and written of the
curious blunders made by the types, and
the facility with which the average com.
positor changes the entire meaning of a
sentence by a single letter has become a
standing subject for jest and joke. A
laughable. instance was noticed in the
Bridgeport Post of Friday. In the legis-
lature on Thursday a resolution was of.
fered incorporating the Borroughs Home
in Bridgeport, an institution for the relief
of indigent and unmarried Protestant
women. In putting ’the item in type the
compositor placed a superfluous “n" in
the word indigent, making the sentence
read “home for indignant and unmarried
Protestant women.”
It is safe to say, if the unmarried Prot-
estant women of Bridgeport were not in-
indignant ‘before, they are now. They
probably do not like the tautology.

Cold Weather.
At Norfolk Wednesday evening the
mercury stood ten degrees below zero,
with the wind blowing a gale. Thursday
morning the mercury at Winsted
had dropped to two degrees below and at
thchficld to four degrees below, with
good sleighing in both places. It is re-
ported that the mercury was ten degrees
below at the State Line. At five o'clock
Thursday morning the mercury stood at
zero in Norwalk.

The New Scale.
The Dsnbury and Norwalk Railroad
Company have just had built for the dock
at South Norwalk, a Howe scale, of fifty
tons capacity. The Howe scale leads the
world in popularity, accuracy and relia-
bility, and is more universally used than
any other scale manufactured. The old
scales have been taken to Branchville.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wxsunrerox, Feb. 2, 1885.
Dan: Guerra—The Senate, after days
of weary secret sessions finally collapsed
on the Canal Treaty with the Government
of Nicaragua. The democrats, headed by
Senator Bayard, took the position that its
passage would greatly embarrass the
incoming democratic administration.
'Other senators, ‘such as Mr. Sherman,
Mr. Merrill and Gen. Hartley opposed it
because in their view it would provea
violation of our treaty obligations with
Great Britain. A much larger number
were undoubtedly influenced by the too
generous oflers made by Secretary Frei-
inghuysen to that irruptive South Amer-
ican Government. Others were influenced
no doubt by the apprehension that its
enormous cost would prove far beyond
the possibilities of remunerative business.
It is certain that Mr. Elaine's successor in
the state department in his efiorts to
accomplish something in the South
American treaty making way, outside of
the programme left by the Maine states-
man, has made a “mess of it"—both as
regards the Mexican, the Spanish and the
Nicaraguan treaties. Said a senator in
our hearing, speaking of the four millions
of dollars Mr. Frelinghuysen proposed to
pay down before starting to dig the 200
mile long ship canal, “.Why the whole
bankrupt country isn't worth four
millions, and in addition to that Frol-
inghuyscn pledges this nation to construct
and maintain ,the ditch to the end of
time and pay one-third of the gross
income thereof, and then we are to pro-
feet and defend their national integrity to
the extent of all the war resources of this
nation". The most serious obstacles in
the way of this . Nicaragua Canal project
are said by experts, to be the absence of
anything like a harbor or channel in from
or out to the ocean, on either side of the
isthmus. At Chiriqhi and Golfito, on the
contrary, are the two best harbors on
either coast of all South America. Indeed,
the harbor of Chiriqui is pronounced by
our naval authorities as the best harbor on
the Globe. Here too, is a vast deposit of
coal (the only spot where beds of steamer
coal is found south of the United States)
and unlimited forests of mahogany,
cocoanut and India rubber trees. Gen,
Ambrose Thompson of New York, an
enthusiastic South American traveller,
seeing the wonderful advantages of this
route overany other across the isthmus,
had it surveyed andbccame the purchaser
of the right of way. Several years since,
Congress appropriated $200,000 to pur—
chase navnl coaling stations of Thompson
on these two harbors, and wealthy
parties have for the past two years stood
ready to start out and build an American
transit here, upon Secretary Frelinghuy-
sen establishing the coallng stations. as
authorized by act of Congress. But by
some unaccountable influences Mr. Fret-
iughuysen has stubbornly set his face
against this, the most feasible of all the
transit routes. It is strange that this
Chiriqui route escaped the attention of
senators eager to have an isthmus route
constructed, and entirely under control!
of the United States. Another fact of
history, also seems to have escaped
senatorial observations, and that is, that
the elder Vanderbilt sent down a party of
expert engineers who surveyed this
proposed Nicaragua route for him and
they pronounced the scheme entirely
impracticable. It is to be regretted that
our country cannot become the possessor
of this, the best of all the routes, because
of the want of information, or an unwar.
rantablc stubbornness, on the part of our
present secretary of state. '
rrroarns ro ALBANY.
Ex-Speaker Randall and Speaker Car-
lislo, have made pilgrimages to Albany
president-elect. Surmises are thicker than
blackberries as to the object; of such
invited visit. The idea which seems
most prevalent is that it was to discuss
cabinet appointments. This We chance
to know is incorrect. The object. as
stated by Mr. Cleveland in his letter to
one of the parties, was to consult as to the
policy of the incoming administration and
both visitors insist that no reference was
made to the personnel of the cabinet. , It
is known, however, that Mr. Cleveland’s
preferences are for the young and vigor-
ous men of his party, rather than for the
“old stagers." This preference, it is
thought, will rule Mr. Wm. H. Barnum and
Mr. W. W. Eaton out of his thoughts as
a. cabinet minister, and has no doubt led
to t c belief that if he chooses a man from
Connecticut it will be either Ex.Governor
Waller or Representative Mitchell. The
former lacks one very important qualifi.
cation for a successful member of the
cabinet so far as social life here is con.
corned. Mr. Waller is poor, while Mr.
Mitchell is understood to be abundantly
equipped for any social drafts that society
could make upon a cabinet minister,
while Mrs. Mitchell would prove as
any lady the incoming president could
invite into his cabinet family. She is al-
ready, by many, deemed the peer of Mrs.
Gan. Logan, and is an acknowledged
favorite in social life at the capitol.
GENERAL TOPICS. .
One of Representative Seymour’s col-
leagues informs us that Governor Harri.
son tendered the appointment of a judge-
ship to Mr. 8., but he declined the honor,
whereupon the governor appointed ex-
Congressman Phelps.
The House committee on,,claims have
agreed to report favorably? the bill to
return to the various states of the Union
the “direct taxes" collected during the
war, and to remit such of this taxation as
has never been paid.
President Arthur and ' exorresldent
Grant have sent letters of condolence to
Mrs. Colfax. General Grant took occasion
to say that he never doubted that Mr. C.
was moat unjustly accused.
The two Houses are to meet in joint
convention February 11, to count the
electoral vote.
It is gossiped about the Capitol that
Secretary Frolinghuysen is nervously
anxious that Justice Bradley should retire
from the supreme court bench in time to
allow President Arthur to place him
thereon.
The Grand Army, which recently held
its session at Bridgeport, sent a telegram
to each member of the House from Con-
necticut requesting their aid in securing
the passage of the“Mexican pension bill,"
so called. This is undoubtedly the fairest
and most equitable bill for the soldiers yet
devised and, having passed the Senate,
only awaits the action of the House to
become a law.
Quite a bevy of democratic congress-
men are intending to raid Mr. Cleveland
in New York this week. Larger numbers
of those expecting office at his hands are
moving their stor- centres in the same
direction. Altogether the presidentoclcct
is to have anything but a lonesome time
during his brief stay in New York.
The small reduction of the debt the
past ‘month gives another unpleasant evi.
deuce of hard times and decreased receipts.
The National Board of Trade held its
session here last week. Messrs. .. . D.
Sperry and Charles H. Townsend were
in attendance as delegates from New
Haven. Postmaster Sperry was elected a
vice-president of the association. One of
the wise things they recommended to
congress in aid of a revival of business
was the subsidizing American steamship
lines for the conveyance of the mails to
South American and other ports at a rate
not to exceed $1.00 per mile, and the same
not to exceed ocean postage on the letters
so conve ed.

A Sight Worth Seeing.
A gentleman by the name of J. ‘W. Ray-
mond, who has been stopping at the Nor-
walk Hotel during the past week, has a
collection of minerals in the shape of ore,
which for variety and richness is seldom
equalled. Upon invitation a reporter of
the Guerra visited his room and inspected
his curiosities. The collection was spread
upon a table in the room, and to the un-
sophisticated roporter every piece of ore
seemed fairly shining with gold. It
proved, however, to be copper and iron
perites, of which Mr. Raymond has a
wonderful assortment. He has specimens
from the Heels and Calumet mines in
Michigan, the richest copper mines in the
world. The copper is in every shape
imaginable, just as it came from the blasts,
and many of the specimens present a curi-
ous appearance. Mr. Raymond also has
rich samples of copper, iron, silver and
gold, which have been taken from the
earth at various depths, from 60 to 2,800
feet. He also has a fine bunch of amp,
thysts which he brought from a Canadian
mile, and a large piece of limestone taken
from the bed of the Mississippi river.
Among his other specimens the following
few may be mentioned as of unusual in-
terest:——Samplc of datholytc from the
Franklin mine at Hancock, Mich; 11 dia-
mond as large as n hazel nut from a
Californian mine; a fine , specimen of
asbestos; a lump of what is known as
“peacock coal" from Pennsylvania, in
which all the various shades of color in a
peacock’s feather are visible; fine samples
of gold from Co rado mines; and speci.
mens of iron pcntes which the “tender-
foot" would declare to be solid gold.
Probably the most interesting of all Mr.
Raymond’s collection is a specimen of
iron. This latter was evidently, ages ago,
a piece of wood from a chestnut or oak
tree and, having become buried under the
earth, has, by the wonderful action of the
chemicals contained in the earth, been
turned into solid iron. The grain of the
wood is plainly visible, as is also a portion
of the heart of the limb from which it evi-
dcntly came. This piece of quondam
wood, though not as large as a man’s
hand, weighs in the neighborhood of six
or eight pounds.
Mr. Raymond also has a large bottle
filled with fine agate specimens from vari-
ous parts of the country. He has a col—
lection the size and variety of which is
seldom seen. Taking great pleasure in
showing his interesting possessions Mr.
Raymond invites all who may be interest-
ed in the study of minerals to call and in-
spect his specimens. He has no stock to
sell, and thus his disinterestednese is
clearly shown. He is what might be
termed “riding a hobby“ and takes pleas-
are in submitting the quality of his col-
lection to all who are likewise interested,
and who may choose to call upon him.
though sad, is none the less interesting.
He was born in New Canaan where he
lived until he was eighteen. He then
moved to NewYork, and thence toMorris,
Illinois, a few miles from Chicago. Sub-
sequently he moved to Houghton, Michi-
gan, and became interested in the copper
mines at that place. He remained at the
Houghton mines until January 1, 1884,
working in the ofiico of the company.
His brother, Mr. Ed. Raymond, had a
house at Houghton, situated near the
shores of a lake.
OnNewYearsday, 1884, Mr. Ed. Ray-
mond's house was to bcthc scene of a
family reunion. Mr. J. W. Raymond‘s wife
was visiting there and Mr.Raymond himself
was to be there in the morning, he having
been detained by a press of work at the
mines. About half—past six in the morn-
ing the Huron dam, not far from Mr. Ed.
Raymond's house, gave way, and the
waters swept down towards the lake.
The house stood in the path of the flood,
and the entire lower part was swept away.
When the flood had passed it was found
that Mr. Ed. Raymond, his eldest son,
Mrs. J. W. Raymond and her only child,
and a servant girl, had been swept away
and drowned. Out of the whole house.
full, Mrs. Ed. Raymond and two little
children were all that escaped. The
others had not had time to escape from the
house. Mrs. Ed. Raymond, bearing the
children in her arms, managed to reach a
small hill near the house though the
waters were nearly to her knees. She
had no sooner reached the place than the
lower portion of the house she had just
left was swept away and with it the bodies
of all the inmates. These bodies were
never found though a most persistent
search was made for them. It is supposed
they were carried out into the lake. ,
As has been stated Mr. J. W. Raymond
had been detained at the mines. His first
intelligence of the disaster was a telephone
message. He immediately harnessed a
horse to a sleigh and made eighteen miles
in an hour and a quarter. The shock to
him was terrible and totally incapacitated
him from further work. For a time he
did nothing, but after avvhile recognizing
the necessity of doing something to occupy
his mind be commenced his searches after
fine specimens of the various ores. He
has now completed his collection, and it
is trulya sight worth seeing. In two or
three days he intends to donate the collec-
tion to the Columbia College School of
Mines in New York city, therefore those
desiring to see the specimens must, of
necessity, call during the present Week.

The State Prison.
The annual report of the directors of
the state prison shows that the average
number of prisoners in the institution
during the year was 278, the largest num-
her being in February 1884, when it
amounted to 323. One thousand dollars
will be required for repairs during the
coming year and a special appropriation
to that extent will be necessary. A
prisoner escaped September 23, 1884;
being the first occurence of the kind
since 1877, no blame can be attached to
the officers. .
The directors. recommend that when the
capacity of the prison shall be increased,
the buildings shall be so arranged that
convicts under thirty years of age. and
sentenced to less than ten years of im-
prisonment, may be separated wholly
from the prisoners, and shall be taught
some trade by which they may have the
ability to earn an honest living when re—
turned to the outside world.-
Of the 181 prisoners received during
the year ending November 80, 1884, 39
were from Hartford county, 26 from New
Haven, 56 from Fairfield, 18 from Litch-
field, 24 from Windham, 3 from Middle-
sex, 9 from Tolland, 0 from New London,
and 2 from the United States navy. There
are 81 prisoners sentenced for life, one for
murder, one commutation of sentence, 24
for murderinthe second degree, and 5
for rape. '
Mr. Raymond has a history which,‘
Among the‘ Hatters.
A 0”an reporter in pursuit. of the
“latest developments," climbed up half a
dozen flights of stats to the hall in which
the South Norwalk striking batters were
assembled yesterdayafternoon. He wnl"-
ed in, took off his hat and surveyed the
crowd, and the interior decorations of the
room. hung with evergreen festoons,
wreaths, etc. The hall was filled with
men and a short, determined looking
man with gray mustache and goatce,
heavy overcoat and deep voice was on the
platform speaking words of encourage-
ment, and giving reports of .thc substan—
tial expressions of sympathy from outside
parties. Meantime the crowd eyed the
reporter as he stood back by the door;
two men sitting on the stage whispered
to each other, pointed to the intruder,
beckoned a third man forward from the
main body and the three held a whispered
conference for about; a minute, occasion.
ally casting a scowling glance toward the
rear door, and acted in such a. manner
that the reporter made up his mind that
he didn’t “take” very well. The conclu-
sion was justified when the third party
came back and asked the reporter to step
outside with him. The reporter was too
polite to respectfully decline. Outside the
door the reporter was asked :
"Are you a. hatter P"
“No, but I like batters. l’ma reporter,
and want to see Joe Tammany in the in-
terest of the GAZETTE."
“That‘s Mr. Tammany who is now
speaking inside. He'll be through, by and
by. Youean’tcomcin. We turned away
several New York reporters today. You
can go down to the committee room and
wait for Mr. Tammany, or you can wait
here on the stairs, or you can wait out of
doors. Good day. I’m very sorry I can’t
let you in.”
If he really was “very sorry,” his grief
didn’t seem to weigh heavily upon him,
for as he wont back into the hall and shut
the door in the reporter’s face, his
countenance glowed with a capacious
“smile that was child-like and bland,”
and an expression that was wonderfully
indicative of satisfaction, for a man who,
by his own admission, was filled with
sorrow.
As the reporter buttoned his ulster
about his neck and went forth into the
cold world with the mercury two inches
below zero.hc remembered with profound
gratitude, the kind permission given by
the sorry man up stairs, to "wait out of
doors for Mr. Tammany, who would be
through by and by." However, he went
direct to the committee room where about
adozen men were assembled, to whom
he made himself and his business known.
A good looking, well spoken young man
sat beside a big man with long, red side-
whiskers a to Lord Dundreary, and about
two weeks growth of stubble on his chin,
which would allow him to pass for a
pirate were it not for the good-natured, be-
nevolent twinkle of his eye. To these twain
the scribe addressed himself; They said
the two cooperative shops, run by the
striking batters were growing in popular-
ity and building themselves up rapidly.
They have the reputation of turning out
the best hats ever made in South Norwalk,
and are destined to become “the firms of
the city." The strikers are far from being
discouraged, and do not dream of
showing the white feather. Money is
coming in plentifully from labor unions.
The silk batters, although there is no
particular bond of sympathy between
them and the fur hatter-s, have just sent
$1,000. Also substantial support from
typographical unions, Grand Army Posts,
Bluestoue Cutters of Newark and scores
of other unions. The strike began Nov.
20th, and in all that time only fourteen,
out of a total of 1,250 men and women,
have gone back intothe shops, as follows:
George Whelpley, H. C. Randall, Ed.
Johnson, Eugene Kinney, Howard
Holmes, piece workers;and the following
foremen and weekly men, who have either
gone back, or stayed in from the first:
Ed. Lyon, Gil Bogart, Burr Day, Austin
Wilson, Seth Remington, Dwight Gra-
ham, John Seymour, "’ill Osborne, John
Coleman- It is thought that none of the
women have gone back, although a
committee was to investigate last night
into the truth of a rumor. that one trimmer
had been induced to go to work. “The
women are more solid than the men,"
chimed in several listeners in the room.
The reporter was assured that the shops
would undoubtedly be opened as “fair
shops" for the reason that they will be
unable to get any considerable amount of
orders from large dealers if they don’t.
At this point Mr. Tammany arrived
from the other meeting. He confirmed
all that had been told the reporter; said
the situation never looked brighter for
the men, for the reason that the time is
close at hand when labor must be had to
meet the demands of reviving business.
“There is one thing," said Mr. Tammany,
“that I want you to give publicity to;
and that is, that we. the men, and they,
the bosses, have received letters from all
the best merchants in town, stating that
they will not handle the goods manufao
tured by the interdicted shops until this
difiiculty is adjusted." Letters were
shown the reporter from both stores of
Comatock Brothers to Crofut 8: Knapp to
this effect. Bryant, Besse 85 Co. have
written Adams Brothers 11. similar letter,
and a like epistle from Lampson, Billings
& 00., Boston, was shown. Dealers all
over the country are taking the same
stand. Alctter from James Turnhull &
00., Brooklyn suggests that the strikers
get up a benefit barbecue, and adds as an
inducement : “We have 10 or 12 dozen of
Crofut & Knapp's hats which we will sell
at prices far below cost, and devote the
proceeds to the purpose of giving eclat to
the event." A private letter from a Nor-
walk hatter now in the employ of Lamp-
son, Billingsd’. 00:, who makes it his bus-
iness to visit the dealers of Boston in the
interest of the strikers, says, that so far.
as he knows, no hats made by any of the
shops involved in the existing diMCulty
are now sold in the city. The work done
by the "clods" now employed, will not.
pass muster with reliable dealers.
Mr. Tammany was asked, "What about
the hatters’ paper which rumor says is to
be started ?"
“Ellendorf could tell you all about
that," said be. “However, I can say that
the question was submitted to the nation-
al trade officers, who have authorized us
to establish a paper. It will be edited by
Mr. Ellendorf, and the first issue will ap-
pear on th 18th inst. It will be called
Tile Med mZa’Journat, and will be de.
voted to the interests of labor unions gen-
erally. It will not be a mud slinging jour-
nal. It will probably be printed in New
York.—-——”
Here the conversation was interrupted
by the arrival of a delegation bringing
with them three German “foul" 'hatters
whom they had just intercepted as they
stepped off the New York train. The
new comers were given chairs, and an in-
terpreter catechised them thusly':
“Wo kormncn sic her ?”
“Von Newark.”
“War-urn sind sic bier gekornmcn f”
“Wir wollen arbeit haben."
“Wer hat sic bier geschickt ?"
“Der mann hab ich nicht gekenn’t,” etc.
etc. While the interpreter was explain-
ing to the committee that these men had
been sent here from Newark by some-
body—they themselves didn’t know whom
—-—a member of the committee moved that
the meeting go into regular session, and
those not belonging to the committee be
fired out. The reporter immediately be.
gan to make hasty preparations to de-
prive them of the bright sunshine of his
presence, and as he made a frantic jump
for the door, Mr. Tammany grabbed him
by the coat collar and detained him long
enough to say :
“We shall use our influence with these
men to induce them to return home. I
want to relate to you a little circumstance
in this connection. A few days ago, Boss
——-——»~, who is a church deacon and a
professing christian, told a traveling jour
who applied to him for work, that if he
would stay around town until he could
get his shop into working shape he would
give him a job, and he suggested that the
jour and himself of the inducements of.
feted by the strikers—who would pay his
board in order to keep him out of the
shops—~untrl the boss could set him at
work. The jour indignantly refused to
play the part of a sucker and perjurer,
whereupon the boss recited to him the ad-
vice J 1111. Fisk received from . his father:
‘My son, never tell a lie—unless you can
make a dollar by it 1’ There's your church
deacon, for you ! there's chrlstinnityl
Well, good day. Come again.”
The reporter then hied himself unto the
hat shop of Crofut &. Knapp. Bingin,
the bell, the door was opened by a dudis
young man composed of one-part mus-
tache and three-parts lisp, who, in ans-
wer to the reporter's inquiry, curtly in-
formed him that he didn't know where
crther Mr. Crofut or Mr. Knapp was, and
seemed to infer that he didn’t care a snap
either. The reporter said “all right 2"
' the door was shut in his face, and as the
newspaper man walked away the thought
occurred to him that the bosses might
learna lesson in gentlemanly courtesy
frpm the alleged "dynamite ruffinns"
Without seriously damaging either them-
selves or their attaches.
