Hottero’ Chatter.

A Guerra reporter found the commit-
tee room of the South Norwalk batters
yesterday afternoon well nigh dcpopulated
as compared with its usual lively appear.
anc'e. Joseph Tammany and about half
a dozen other batters were present, and
in response to inquiries the reporter
gleaned the followingbatcb of information:

The relative position of the men
and the bosses continues unchanged.
Thegmen are still confident, and predict
the failure of the bosses if the strike
continues to a climax. One firm, of the
bosses’ combination, have put a placard
on their store in New York announcing,
“This Store For Sale I" A large percent-
age of the hats shipped by the combina-
tion are returned by the dealers, who find
that they cannot afford to handle them
on account of the prejudice of theii‘
customers against “scab” labor. A
certain firm the other day sent a lot of
hats toa prominent Bowery dealer, for
twelve dollars a dozen, but his customers
found out where they came from, and
advised him to ship them fightback to
the manufacturers, which he did. There
are only one or two dealers in New York
who will handle the combination hats,
and they are dealers who handle nothing
but .“scabs” and knock-downs.

.‘lir. Tammany demonstrated the result
of the strike on the combination -’ by
showing that while the shops in Brooklyn,
Newark, Orange, Danbury and Bethel as
well as the fair shops of Norwalk are
doing a driving business in stiff hat work,
the business of the combination amounts
to comparatively nothing. During the
past week the shipment by the entire
combination—five shops—was not more
than one hundred dozen for the whole
week. The capacity of these five shops is
at least three hundred, and sixty dozen
11 day, or over'2,100 dozen per week.

In reply to the reporter’s question as to
whether the progress of the strike had
been just what the men expected, and
whether its developments were according
to their anticipations at the start, ,Mr.
Tammany said the strike had been
prolonged perhaps beyond what was
expected, but as yet nothing has been-
developcd different from what .was
foreseen when the trouble began. Itismov.
ing along in accordance with the prospect
accepted at the start. As has been said
before, the strike has long since ceased to
be a local difference of wages. The
batters of South Norwalkare not carrying
it on. The fight is waged by the hat
buyers and consumers of the whole
United States. When the bosses formed
their combination with the avowed
intention of breaking up the Union,'the'y
gave the challenge to- every branch of
organized labor in the. country ; and the
result is that =the.’,1’vhole system of orga.
sized labor is up in arms, and battling to
maintain the very ‘ob‘jcct‘ of its existence.
So far as the bosses are concerned, until
they 'employ fair men, their present
situation will remain unchanged. Con-
sur‘ners will not buy their goods, and the
result-must be, they will have to suspend.

The 'Co-oper'atichHat Company, No. 1,
are now under headway in their shop on
South Main street; when they are fairly
under motion, will give employment to
about 140 hands and turn out 5:) dozen
bets 9. day. Company No. 2 are getting
started in their shop 1n the borough and
will soon be running full blast. Company
No." .1 is nearly perfected 1n its organiza-
tion, with a capital stock of about $5,000
and will {probably accept the offer ofa
prominent moneyed man of the city, who
proposes to build them a shop and see
them well started.

An Excellent Advertising Dodge.

Messrs. Comstock Brothers, the wide
awake dealers in clothing and gents‘
furnishing goods have taken a step‘whlch
can but result to their profit. They have
placed in the hands of families having
children of suitable age to read it, a
sample copy of that finely illustrated
magazine "Harpers‘ Young People."
With each copy is given a card and alettcr
which entities such families to receive the
magazine free of cost for three months.
This card not only entitles the holder to
receive Harper‘s Young People for three
months free of cost, but it also enables
Messrs. Comatock Bros. to record any
purchases-made at their store by families
receiving the “Young II’eople.“ Such
purchuses, if amounting to fifteen dollars
or over. will chtitle holders of cards to
receive the magazine for the balance of
the year free of cost. Holders of cards
who buy goods during theentire yearIto
amount of lhirty~five dollars or over,
willIbe entitled to theirIehoiceIofiflarper'r

Messrs. Cornstock Bros have a repute.
tion for fair dealing, second 1Q none, and
purchasers may always be assured of
receiving good goods at the,_lowest rates
in spite of this added inducement. In
case any families have not received‘ the
above card they may obtain one by calling

at the store.

A School Teacher's Fame Assured.

The notoribus “leather man," who is
coming in again for his periodical surfcit
of newspaper attention, must have to
laugh, if his leather jaws are capable of
relaxation, when he readshis "history"!
in the gullible journals that repeat the
romantic story of his pathetic career. The
fact is the leather man is a crank, whose
career is as free from romance 1511 is from
common sense or merit. The sensational
story of the fabulous wealth he once pos-
sessediu France; his engagement to .a
lady of royal blood; the death of his
fiancee; his touching devotion to her
memory; his voluntary seclusion i'r'omI
humanityVand civilization, etc., etc., was
simply the fabrication of a clever and
imaginative school teacher 1n New Pr estou
and who, more recently, took the road
and followed an avocation that was better
suited to his plausible talent and fluency
—-that of a book agent. His romantic
yarn, however,‘went marchin n, and
generations yet unborn will lrea .. be. old,
old story, periodically re-hashed, with
such additions and contortions as a pro-
creasive race of narrators can he expected
to inflict.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

D1111: Guerra. -Congressia now hurry-V.
ing up its appropriation bills, which sb0uld-if '
have been' 1n readiness and passed a month
ago, and would have been, but for the
stubborn stupidity of the House, which is
now thumping and bumping over them,
like a stranded ship. Opinion has been
about equally divided up to the present, '
as to the necessity of an ‘extra session.
The point of special danger has now been

passed and there will be no extra session
of Congress unless some new madness
breaks out to rule the closing hours of the
session.

The President 1ssued his proclamation
Saturday, co ning the Senate in extra
session, for th purpose of a'cting upon?
the nominations for cabinet ministers Ind
other ofiices, to be sent in by Mr. Cle've- .
land. It is expected that consideration
of the Frelinghuysen treaties will also be
revived, in which case the session of the
Senate' 15 likely to continue to at least the
first .of :April. When Frank Pierce was
inaugurated, the Senate being democratic,
the executive session lasted till after" the
first of April. When Buchanan camc‘ in
the Senate being again in harmony with
his administration the executive session
continued for three weeks.

The democrats here seem to have the ,
personale of the cabinet fixed in their
minds, and present predictions do not
vary much. It is idle to speculate on this
point as Mr. Cleveland’s cabinet will be
authoritive‘ly announced by the time this
letter reaches the eyes of your readers.
There ia‘ one significant feature of the
present predictions which leaves out any
cabinet representative from our, own
state. This is ungrateful, after what the
Connecticut democrats achieved for Mr.
Cleveland.

The president’s family to consist of his
brother, his sisters, Mrs. Hoyt and Miss
Cleveland, and his secretary Col. Lamont,
are expected to arrive here Tuesday even.

Mr. Wm. H. Barnum succeeded in
urging the House to more energetic action
in regard to the necessary appropriation
bills, and if an extra session of Congress is
averted, he is entitled to the credit of it.
Hveas not as successful in his efl'orts to
impress upon the silver coinage democrats
of the‘HouIe, the views of Mr. Cleveland
upon that subject. The result was ~ the
sending of a letter to Mr. Cleveland
imploring' him not to commit himself on
the subject of the continued coinage of
the depreciated silver dollars. Mr.
Cleveland’s reply to this petition has
gained him more credit among‘ the
thoughtful men, than anything he has
done since he beome the democratic
presidential nominee. At first the silver-
ites thought it would be a good thing to
publish his letter and telegraphed and
got the permission. Then it occurred to
them that it was a two edged sword and
they refused to give it out. This fact
being made known to Mr. Cleveland, he
gave out .1 copy of it from Albany, which
goes to show that our friends, the
democrats, cannot do just all and 'what
they w,ish with their new chieftain. The
letter" is plain, bold and strong and shows
that he has positive ideas Ind' 13 net afraid
to stand by them, even in the face, of the-
“rebuke” given him by the votes of more
than one hundred silver coinage demo-
crats in the House. All the evidence
attainable goes to show that Mr. Cleveland

The Late J. G. Fitch.

The profound sorrow exhibited on all
sides Thursday, when the announcement
of Dr Fitch's death was made, was a
significant testimonial of the. esteem in
which the deceased was held. His life
was quiet and he made no display , but he
had been among 115 so long, and had been
so, prominently connected with church
and educational work, that his death
caused a feeling akin to pain from even
those who hardly knew him. And the
throng which gathered at the house on
Sunday to pay their last tributes attested
the respect and venerution. felt for him
who had passed away.

Jabez Ca‘rcy Fitch was born 1n Willimlln-
tic, Conn., April7 , 1819. Subsequently
his parents moved to New York state, and
there be commenced the study of medi-
cine, for which pursuit he had a natural
liking. He was graduated from the medi-
cal school at the age of 25. About this
time thc‘ district 9.311061 at his old home,
Willimantic, lost its teacher and the doc-
tor was persuaded by hisfricnds to take
the position until another could be pre-
cured: As Ibis parents had moved back
to Willimantic hecoucluded to. accept,
and proved so thoroughly efficient in the
art of teaching that he was induced to
remain for some time longer. Thus his
early life was passed. Someyears later
he became owner and principal of the
Pine Grove seminary at‘South Windham,
three miles from Willimantic. This vcn-
trrre proved a success and the. doctor's
school soon became widely known. In
1867 he diaposed of the Pine Grove semin-
.,a,ry _at good advantage, and moved to
Norwalk. Here he purchased the beauti-
fully situated Hillside seminary, t ion con—
ducted as a young ladies‘ school by Mrs.
L. A. Smith. After making extensive
alterations in the buildings and grounds
he opened.bis school for boys and, from
the start, was very successful. Beyond a
certain number of pupils .he would not
receive. and so widely and favorably
known did his school become that that
limit was always reached.

Dr. Fitch ‘wns an earnest and active
Christian and his influence was deeply felt
in his school. Some ten years since a re-
vival "occurred amongst his scholars and a
majority of them were converted. During
this, and afterward, the Doctor was as
tender as a woman to his boys and was :11—
11319 ready to help Ihcm' 111 their (iforls to
do right. He was an eager worker in the
church and was a cheerful and liberal
giver towards all its needs.

Up to the time of his fatal illness the
Doctor personally conducted his school
and his earnest efi‘ol'ts towards improving
the minds of the youth intrusted to his care
were productive of cxcellbut results. His
school was generally rcgarderflas a superior
one and ill its welfare and its standing the
doctor took great pride. Ilc devoted his
entire time and talents to fulfilling his duties
towards his scholars and in this matter
was consciencions to :1 marked degree.
As 11 result a large majority of his scholars
have attained high positions in life and
these are falways ready to command and
praise their old instructor for his efforts
in his behalf.

The last illness of the Docior was not
protracted. . Coming home from a ride
about a week ago he was seized with a so.
verc chill and took to his bed from which
he never arose. .TheIday and night be-
fore his death he was unconscious and
passed away without. recognizing those at
his bedside. His daughter was at school
in Wellsley, Mass, and irrIresponse to a
telegram hastened home but was too late
to' be recognized before her father died.
The funeral occurred at the house on Sun-
day afternoon and the capaelous building
was crowded to its utmosLeapaoity. The
services were conducted - by the Rev.
Messrs. Anderson, Bissell and VMcGonegal.
It was the earnest wish of the family
as well as the friends of both the family
and the recent pastor of the Baptist church,
that Rev. Mr. Bentley should take a prom.-
iuent part in the funeral service. But as

I‘ Mr. Bentley expressed grave doubts as to

his ability to be present here, and- signified
hia intention to attend the burial services
at‘IWillimantic, arrangements were; of no
cessity, completed without calculating on
his presence. .'1t 15 however a comfort to
feel that Ithe‘la‘st sad ceremonies were per.
formed by him, who, by reason of his
long and intimate friendship, more than
all others, knew and appreciated the true‘
worth and Christian integrity of the de-
ceased.

Yesterday the remains were conveyed
to Willimantio where interment was made
in this family burial plot at that place. A
largemumb'er of friends and rheurners ac-
companied the remains.

D‘octor Fitch leaves a wife, a son and a
daughter, and four widowed sisters.
Mrs. Fitch will continue the school to the
end of the present term. She has not
fully decided as to whether she will con.

tinue theroaftcr or not.

Tidy Ties and Tinkling Tins.

At the riulc Wednesday evening, a large
crowd was present to witness and partici-
pate. in the necktie and apron competitive
exhibition. The display of aprons was
very fine, ranging from the sublime to the
ridiculous. A prize had been offered for
the oddest apron, and between the origin-
ality of the designs it seemed a delicate
task to discriminate. There were aprons
made entirely of advertising cards, aprons
of soda crackers, 'pop-corn aprons, alpha-
beticai aprons, pie-tin aprons, aprons with
pictures ofhoot owls, night hawks, bad
boys and comic inscriptions. Mrs. Dr.
Gregory, Mrs. Curtis and Miss Nickcrson
were chosen judges of the aprons,
and the "prize was awarded on an apron
made entirely of pie plates, with a belt of
fruit jar lids. The bandsomest apron was
universally conceded to be that worn by
Miss Bertha Jacobs. There wasalarge
and various exhibit of necktics by the
gentlemen. Tire boys showed their dc-
cided hankerings for calico. One c0111-
pctitor wound 400 yards around his neck,
andIa number had over‘ 100 yards each.
TheVnecktie judges were Mumford, Bou-
ton .111 Moody, and the prize was award—
ed to Thomas Murray, .whose necktie, 76
yards long, was, in the opinion of the
judges, the best gotten up and'thc only
one which was really a necktie. The pro-
cession of skaters w‘as picturesque, with
its glitter and flash and drapery of uniqrre
costumes, and was well worth seeing.

‘ Oyotor Matters. 3
In Hartford on Tuesday the committee 1
on fisheries had a hearing on two matters .
connected with the oyster industry. The
first was on the bill in reference to the re-
moval of star fish. The bill provides that
the shell-fish commission may, on the
complaint of five 0y ater—bed owners that
certain ‘natural oyster beds are infested
with star-ilsb,’ cause the same to be '
dredged—‘thc star-fish to be destroyed and
the .oysters sold to pay the expense of
dredging.‘ -
The second hearing was on the claim of
Mr. Oliver Cook, of D‘arien, who claims ‘
that“ the Ishcll-fish commission in laying
out the ,line of natural oystoereds in
IDarien harbor included a ‘bed that had
been adjudged to him by the town com-
missloncrs of his town. The dispute is
one of longstanding, and nearly forty
suits have already been instituted by Mr.
Cook against parties who have taken oys-
The matter has been
carried to the superior court, and the ar-
gument of Mr. Cook, and of Mr. Colyer,
who appeared for his neighbor, was that
the matter should be left untouched by

to setilc it.

The Hduoatonic Railroad.

At the annual meeting of the stock-
holders of the Housatonic railroad, held
in Bridgeport, Friday afternoon, the fol-
lowing directors were elected: W. 'H.
Barnum, Lim‘e Bock; David S. Draper,
NOW York; A. B.‘-Mygatt‘, New Milford;
C. K. Averill, Bridgeport; W. D. Bishop,
Bridgeport; Horace Nichols, Bridgeport;
J E Peek, New York; Edward Leavitt,
New Milford; W. E. Downs, Birniingham.
At a subsequent meeting of the directors
the following oflcers' were elected. Presi~
dent, W. H. Barnum; vice-president,
David S. Draper; secretary and treasurer,
‘C. K. Averill. The directors ‘in their
annual report say that the depressed con-
‘dition of business during‘ the past year
has [made a decrease in the company’s
gross earnings of 858, 7.83 78, but that ex-
cept for amounts expended' in permanent
improvements the corresponding decrease
in operating expenses would have made
the net results of the year’s business equal
to previous 3' ears. The directors say that
while they look for no increaseinbusiness
they expect a reduction in operating ex-
penses, which will leave a fair net result.
The total receipts for the year were,$676,-
759.76. The expenses were $472,502.51.
