The Drawbridxs Question.

At Hartford, on Thursday, the railroad
committee held a hearing on Senator
Walsh‘s bill requiring the drawbrldgee at
Cos Cob, Westport and South Norwslk to
be kept open except when closed for the
passage of trains. Sevaral Norwalk
parties were present 1111:1111 seemed to be
thoroughly disgusted with the present
system. William Godfrey of Norwalk,
thought IItIhat vesicle should have the
preference and the conveniences of the
railroad cempany should be a secondary
consideration. Charles Harvey also of
Norwalk, said the bridge keeper would
not Optn the draw for ten minutes before
the schedule time Of a train a'i if the
train was late the delay was often times
very serious to navigators. Senator Asa
Smith read a letter signed by Normdk
people explaining the difficulties and'
asking that the Consolidated road keep a
tug toII. assist vessels in going through the
draw. President Watrous explained the
relative magnitude of the , interests
concerned. Inone day 86 trains'passed

with from from 50 to 850parsons On each
of the 80 passenger trains in the number.
The draw was opened an average of at
times a day according to the record from
J ulyl to Deccmber1,1884. Mr. Watrous
discussed the statements of the captains
of vessels and thought the nuggestion of
one that there should be Like minute
limit was perhaps not unreasonable in
view of the improved appliance now
being put in at the drawbridges. He

did not behave that such a law as was

proposed was equitable. There was

some interchange of opinion and sugges-
tion between Mr. Watrous and Mr.

Brush of Greenwich. '- Mr. Brush

asserted roundly that' the' whole

safety system at the Cos Cob draw was a

failure, and that it took half an hour to

operate the draw, that the safety switch
system was constantly getting out of
order and that on the whole it was rather
worse than nothing._ 1 When Mr. Watrous
said he was not aware of any ground for
these statements Mr. Brush thought it
must have been carefully concealed from
him. Mr. Watrous assured him thdt he
should inquiré'abo'ut it. ' '

There are no new developments of any
importance in the progress of the strike.
The men are holding their own, with as
much confidence and pluck as ever, and
assert their ability to held‘ out as long as
necessity may demand. Labor anions
continue to send in substantial evidences
of their lively sympathy, and the union' 1s
well provided for. Newark and Orange,
N. J., especially, are doing nobly' 1n their
contributions. The unions of those cities
are getting up entertainments, sociables,
etc., constantly, the proceéds Of which
are devoted to the strikers; besides,. they
send each week a certain percentage of
their wages. The silk hatters’ associa-
tion of New York are advancing money
and manifesting a commendable interest
in their South Norwalk brethren, with
whom, before the strike, they won: not on
the best of terms.

Co—operntive company No. 2 have leased
Joseph Shepherd’s shOp on Hoyt street, in
this place, and will soon be running full
blast, with a large force of hands.

‘All the Unions are rallying to the sup-
port of Mr. Ellendori‘s:paper, the [Me—
t'hom'cs’ Journal, which made its first ap-
pearance Wednesday, and started of! un-
der propitious circumstances, nearly 3,000
copies, it is reported, having been dis-

posed of.

Tracka That Told Their Tale.
Those who got out early last Tuesday
morning not too early, but just early
enough to trace the footsteps of the first
pedestrians over the snowncovered side-
walks, might have seen, ever and anon,
where a gladc of ice was hidden by the

 

virgin purity Of beautiful snow, the cvi-‘

dences of a frantic but plainly futile
struggle for equilibrium. Every motion
voluntary and spasmodic, in the progress
of the struggle could be read in the signifi-
cant marks. From conscious security the
firm footsteps seemed suddenly to have
merged into caution, then to suspicion,
.selfpreser'vation, desperation, helplessness
and total Collapse. They showed that
where doubt succeeded certainty, the heel
of the right foot was in the hollow of the
left, forming the right angle of an oblong
square; the “advance" motion was indi-
cated by two beet-tracks diverging from
the common centre at aulang'le of ninety
degrees anti extending'as far as the per-
farmer‘s straddle would permit; them a
chaos of paroxysmal kicks at each extrem-
ity, and the “dull thud" just below the
starting paint 1n unmistakable marks of
posterior collision, Over the spot hovered
a haze of brimsiony vapor so dense that
later pedestrians, holding their breath,
forsook the path and walked cautiously

' Who Was He P .

While the legislators were visiting the
insane asylum at Middletown, Thursday ,
the inmates became greatly excited. One
laughable" incident was the Salutation :1
Fairfield Icounty member received. A
rather comely féruale who had been quiet
during the inspection suddenly started
forward and grasping the member by the
head said: “Whv, Mr. Cleveland! I am
glad to see you'.‘ I have been waiting for
you ever so long How is Oscar! You
love all us ladies, don’t yOu '2" And
before the member could escape she had
given him a rousing smack. Daniels

Last leltt‘l Oman Recital.

Mr. Gibson's organ recital last evening
was by far the finest entertainmentrof the
whole series. The capacious church was

' crowne its utmostlimit and many were
obliged to stand' 10 the gallery and aisles.
Mrs. Carrie Allen Baker sang bcwitching.

Gibson's. manipulation of the Organ keys
was unusually excellent, his “runs" being
especially admired. The chorus .choir of
the church rendered valuable aid to what
was one of the best musical treats of the
season.

ing with :trangers all till: we 3 .111in
hither by the imposing ceremonies attend-
ing the dedication of the Washington,
monument, and to 1111119 :uthe still more
interesting event of Mr. Cleveland's in-
auguration March 4. Thursday evening
Gov. Harrison, accompanied by Adjutant-
General Smithand staff, arrived. Senators

Plan and Hewley had arranged an inter-

view for them with President Arthur that
evening at 9 O'clock,- which seemed to
have been mutually pleasing. OnIFriday
the Governor's Foot Guards arrived, one
hundred and five strong, audFriday evan-
ing at 10 o'clock the guards escorted
Governor HarrisOn 11:?to the White
House, where 3.111111111111121 had arranged
an informal inception llfOr The guards in.
the famous east room. Anfimpromptu
reception had previously been tendered
the governor at his hotel,» by Connecticut
people residing and visiting here to the
number of over one hundred. Among
those thus calling upon him were General
'Alfred Terry, Senator Platt, ex-Represent-
ative Fred Miles, Representatives Mitchell
and Seymour, Colonel and Mrs. F. St.
John Lockwood, Charles L. Rockwell and
his bright dud pretty cousin, MlssEv'ere'st,
Mr. and Mrs. Bradley of New Haven,
Major and Mrs. J. C. Kinney and others.
Most of these folIOch the procession
'ecross to the White House, where they
found the president in one of his most
delightful moods. The guards were drawn
up in line against the long south east wall
of the east room, and on the entrance of
the president gave him the military hand
salute with the precision of machines.
The men were then ordered to forward
march by fours and passed out into the
long corridor stopping to shake the presi-
dent’s extended hand as they passed.
We heard the president express his admir-
ation at the fine appearance of the men,
and their wonderful machine uniformity
and precision in step and movements. He
was also especially delighted with the old
time martial music played by the Moodus
drum corps, and after they had passed out
into the long corridor he asked Maj. Kinney
if “those drummer boys” would not come
back and give him a little more of “that
music i" The major replied that they
Iwould only be too glad to do so, but he
feared they would drown him with their
noise.“ Well, what are drums Ifor if not

' to make a noise. lét the hOys come in and

set them loose fora. few minutes. That
music is so rare and novel now-a-days it
has a peculiar charm to me. " It is need.
less to any that the drum corps was soon
“let loose” in the east room. again, and
though 11s ancient walls echoed to their
louder beatings, there were faint and ex-
quisite touches of sheep skins that set all
hearts to most lively‘ beating. Governor
Harrison and Senator Platt stood beside
the preSident throughout this private rc-
caption introducing various of the Con.
necticut visitors. As an evidence of Mr.
Arthur‘s ready recollection of persons
and incidents, his eye caught among those
near him the face of a tliirtccn-ycar-Old
Norwalk boy. Extending his hand to the
lad he said! ' “ Why, I met you down in
Maine three years 113011111129." Had the
lad been told by thepresident hc‘hIad seen
him' 1n Bunday‘lichool, we are somewhat
grieved to confess the boy would not have
been half so much elated as he was at that
touch upon the fishing expedition to Vthe
Pine Tree state.

Saturday all was astir for the great
parade. The ceremonies at the base of
the monument were hurried through,
because though the day was sunny it was
the coldest of all the winter. The lines of
. march were then directed up Pennsylva-

nia Avenue to the Capitol.

the President, General Sheridan and all
the visiting governors reviewed the mass
of visiting troops as they marched by .the
stand. There were. in line the Fort Mo.

- Connecticut National Guard.

The report of Adjutant General Couch
to the legislature regarding the condition
of the Connecticut National Guard for the
year ending November _80, 1884, shows
Connecticut’s military force consists of a
brigade of four regiments, one from each
congressional district, 11 light battery of
four guns, and one battalion (colored) of
infantry-in all 2, 353 men. A platoon of
machine guns, under a cemmissioned
officer, was added last year. The muskets
in use are breech loaders, part Springfield
pattern and part Peabodys'—etilcient arms
and answering the state‘s purposes. There
are rifles of recent invention which un-
doubtedly fire more rapidly, such as the
Lee gun and others. The discipline of
the troops, though not of the clockwork
exactness of the regular soldier, is good,
and to be in .the guard is not- an holiday
aflsir. In marksmamhip there is an in-V
:crease. of qn'alined marksman, though
there was a falling off in the Third regi-
ment in this raspect. .

The New London and Bridgeport arm-
oriesaréwell'under way, and a lot for
one at South Norwalk has been pnrchascd
at a cost of $5, 000. There has been ex-
panded 8170, 500 in the construction of
armories.

During the past year the number of
veterans cared for at state charge in hos.
pital was 229. Last year the number was
.198. In hospital December}, 74. At
Fitch‘s Home for Soldiers, Darien, forty.
two veterans received support .during the
yearout of the revenues of that institu-
tion, of which seventeen were inmates
on December 1.

Men who are well p1 ended for by their
pensions should live on them and not be
given hospital support. The number of
those needing asylum will increase as old
age comes upon them. All the national
asylums are now full except the one in
Augusta, Me, and the adjutcnt general
does not eulogizc the cold climate ‘of
Augusta, as far as broken down 'old
soldiers are concernedr .\ national asy-
lum‘ 1s needed' in this part of the cast.

The adjutant general in his criticisms
on the work of the guard advises that at

the encampment at Nlantic next fall ex-
ercises and duties by or :ule subservient to
that. of guard duty. ‘ V

On the standing'of_the regiments Gen.
Couch says: .“The First and Second
regiments are the crack regiments of the
brigade." The former “has for six years
been under the command of Lucius A.
Barbour, .who, by an nutiringI-perscver—
ancc, united with strict justice and
splendid soltlicrshlp, has carried it up
from a condition of merited discipline to
that ahead of all the regiments in New
Englant ." Of the Second it is said that
“no matter how you'look at it, or in
what position it is found, it has the
veteran swing and solid tramp of its col-
umns incd’aceably stamped upon it, due
to the long and careful training of its old
colonel ,StephenR. Smith, and maintained
by the shorts Of Col. Chas. P. Graham. "

General Couch recommends that instead
of the present system of messing there
should be a ration table made 11p by a
board of capable surgeons. He advises
that “polishing of sinks" is the proper
duty of the troops, and that hired men
should not be employed to do the work as
was the case at Niautic. .

Amemcau Orations.

Prof. Alexander Johnson, formerly of
Norwalk, but now of Princeton College,
is the editor of three volumes of American
crations, published by Putnam & Sons,
uniform with British Orations, recently
issued by the same firm. The oration:
are grouped under six heads. Celonial-
ism. Constitutional Government the Rise
of Democracy,- The Slavery Strtwgie,
Secession and Reconstruction, Free 'IPradc
and Protection. The divisions are linked
together with brief introductions by the
editor. The chief value of the work 1s
the close relation that it bears to the
political history of the Republic. The
selections in each case an: made not so
much with the view of showing the
orator‘s forensic abilities as to portray the
different phases of public sentiment 1n the
period under consideration. For example,
in the Colonial period we have Patrick
Henry’s oration. in the Virginia House of
Delegates, Alexander Hamilton’s at the
Convention of New York, and Washing-
ton's inaugural address. In the period of
the Anti-S avcry Struggle the selections
are Wendell Phillips’ speech on the mar.
der of Lovejoy, John C.Calhou11’s 0n the
slavery question, Hen Clay? 3 on the
compromise of 1860, an the speeches of
Chase. Summer and Stephen A. Douglas
on the- Kansas Nebraska bill In the
period of Secession the arguments are pre-
sented from difiercnt standpomts 1n the
speeches of John Jordon Crittendcn, Al-
fred Iverson, Robert Tombs, Thaddeus
Stevens and others. During the days of
Civil War and Reconstructlouwe hear
from Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis,
Alexander H. Stephens, Henry Winter
Davis, John Sherman, James A. Garfield
and other exponents of the political
thought of the times. The oral-ions are
given without note or comment, and in
most cases without abridgemc‘nt. he
compilation has been made with cri
judgment. and the result is a work of
permanent interest and value.

A WIG-DYAKERS RODIANCE. ‘

 

following story : “There was a fashion-
able wedding iu this city not long ago.
where a beautiful young girl married an
old man and did not,know it. And what
is more, she lives with him now and has
not found him .out. The- groom wasa
handsome man, and was looked upon
as a young man in society, in which he
figured quite prominently. He had a
youthful face, was quick and erect, and
by coloring hi8 haii, which 11.11 snow
white, he easily passed with the young-
est. With his affable mnnue'r and gel-
lantry he won the heart of the young
girl he married from a number of other
suitors. many of them young and hand-
some. The girl was very young, and a
belle. ,

“Just before the wedding took place,
the man came here and had his hair cut
08‘ and a wig made. Dyeing his hair
had worked very well while courting,
but when it came to getting married he
knew he could net use dye without his
wife finding it out, so he adopted a wig
to get out of the difficulty. The idea of
his young wife finding out that he was
an old men nearly. set him wild, and
when he had gotten well settled under
his wig he was the happiest man I ever
saw, On his wedding day he was as
frisky as a boy, and no one suspected
his secret. This happened some months
ago, and the bride has not yet found out
that he is an old man' and wears a wig,
and she will probably never find out un-
til old age asserts itself so strongly that
it can no longer be concealed. They
live here 1n the city now, and the secret
is known probably to none save the
groom and his hair-dresser.” -
