NORWALK GAZETTE.
Tuesday: March 10,1885.

~~ A New Station;
At last the matter of the railroad station
at East Norwalk has taken 'a tangible
form and it is an assured fact that. ere
many weeks have elapsed, a suitable
station will be erected by .the railroad fat
that point. The matter, when agitated
last year, was of necessity laid aside, the
dlflculty in procuring the land demanded
by the railroad company raising an appar-
ently insurmountable barrier to the success
of the enterprise. It will be remembered
thatthrough the efforts, of Mr. George W.
Cram, who was largely instrumental in
inducing the railroad company to consider
the matter, a public meeting was held last
summer and a committee of five citizens
was appointed to act in the matter. This
committee has now brought the stair to a
head. The money for the purchase of the
land has been subscribed. The amount
is much less'than was originally estimated
as Mr. Hanford has made a large reduction
rather than have the matter fall through.
Steps will be taken at once to call in the
subscriptions; and by April 1 the com-
miMe hope to be able to transfer the land
to the railroad company. This new enter-
prise isor ought' to be a matter of con-
gratulatlon to the citizens of the whole
town as wall as the dwellers in' the East
Norwalk colony. , .

The committee have appointed Mr.
George E. Miller as the receiver of sub.
scriptions, and earnestly request that all
amounts subscribed be handed in to him
on or before the 20th inst. The sooner
the money for the land is handed over
the sooner will the station be built. as the
railroad company have stated that they
would begin'work on the station as soon

as the land was turned over to them.

Keep It Up X .
Great is the power of gas, and great is
the gas of baking powder. Those of our
dear readers who have watched our adver-
tising columns closely for the past few
weeks may have'observed the hot fight
between two‘ big baking powder com
panics. It seems to .be hip and tuck-first
nip scores a point, then tuck rubs it out.
N11) produces a formidable statement by a
higmmuck-a-muck analytical chemist with
more titles than the ring master in a tem-
perance lodge, to prove that hislpowdcr is
“all wool and a yard wide," and that the
powder made by tuck is a base concoction
of dynamite, sour krout and other ~deadly
perils. The next week tuck comes out
with a counter statement ‘by the same
chemist, in which the said chemist afore-
said flops right over like a purchasable
democrat, slobbers tuck’s powder all over
with taffy, and throws vitriol in the eyes
of nip. And so it goes. First one is
ahead, then the other is behind. In the
meantime the dear public is gobbling. up
both powders voracioualy. This wordy
war proves the superiority of both powders,
and there is no doubt that both will “raise"
a pan of biscuit as effectually as they have
raised this literary row. The useful moral
that is pointed is that the best baking
powders find printer‘s ink an indispen-

 

 

sable auxiliary in producing the ,uecessary

fermentation.

A Hive of Industry. ‘

The'rubber factory of Messrs. J. H.
lluekley & Son just now presents a busy
scene. Thc'firm have more orders than
they ‘can fill and are contemplating the
putting in of additional machinery to ac-
comodate the demands for their goods.
They have been running nights for some
time but even this extra work brings no
relief from the crowds of orders daily re-
ceived. It is sufficient recommend of the
quality of their work when, in these dull

times, these enterprising gentlemen are as'

busy as bees while rival companies, with

one exception, are running on short time.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wasurxo'rox, March .9, 1886. .

Dun Gusm:—Both Houses of .Con-
gress ran through the imperative appro-
priation bills by almost super-human'exer— .
tion, and thus saved the Country the need-
less uncertainty and turmoil of an extra
session of Congress. The last act of the
Senate was the confirmation of President
Arthur’s last oflicial act in the nomination
of General Grant to be placed on the re—
tired list. Representative Randall exerted
himself to the uttermost to get his party
friends in the House to consent to the.
passage of the bill. He had the discern-
ment to see the injurious effect it would
have on his party, especially} among “‘16.
soldiers, should they defeat jibe“: one
measure which every patriot inthe 'na-
tion seemed to desire enacted. His strate-
gy and persevering industry , got the ,bill
through the Reuse about twenty minutes
before the hour of adjournment. The first
commission signed byPresident Cleveland
was that retiring General Grant.

. inanonaa'rron. ,

Wednesday was the brightest and mild-
est spring day of the new year, and it is
estimated (that fully three hundred thous-
and people'filled the city to witness the
inaugural. The streets were ablaze with
bunting and gay decorations, and the air
resounded with the music of hundreds of
bands. At twelve both Houses were de-
clared adjourned u'n'e die, and the ‘ Senate
-was immediately reorganized by the
swearing in of Vice-President Hendricks.
Immediately thereafter .the . diplomatic
corps in their gaudy ofilcial attires filed
into the Senate and occupied the seats
assigned them. They were followed
by the supreme court, the heads of the
departments, Generals Sheriden, Hancock
and Terry, and. Admiral Porter. The
committee theri nnounced the president;

whereupon the entire body rose and stood
till Mr. Arthur and Mr. Cleveland were
.conducted their seats. The order, of pro-
ccssiori to the east portico' of the capitol was
then announced and the vast concourse
soon followed the president-elect to the
platform,whercupon he was to deliver his
inaugural. The address was delivered in
aslow but loud and distinct voice, and
was heard over a wider arc-a than any of
the nine inaugurals that it has been the
good fortuncof your correspondent to
hear. Mr. Cleveland’s manner of delivery
conveyed the clear impression ' that he
sincerely meant every word he said. His
reference to Civil Service Reform and
Mormonism was greeted with very faint
cheers, but his tilt at'ihe Chinese brought
forth from the vast crowd the (most tu-
multuous applause. As one senior rc
marked in our hearing: “It would make
a fairly, decent republican campaign
speech with» a few slight variations.“
Representative Reagan, of Texas, (who, it
is said, feels slightcd because he was not
invited to become Mr. Cleveland’s post-
master-general, be having filled that posi—
tion in the cabinet of Jefferson Davis) re-
marked of the address that it' was a
“blanked good inaugural—for the repub.
licans." '

The procession was over three hours
passing a given point. Pennsylvania,
which gave her electoral vote to Blaine,
sent some 10,000 of her state militia to
take part in the parade. They made the
most imposing feature of the line. The
cx-Rebel Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee, who rode
a superb stallion at the head of one of the
divisions, was the recipient of more and
louder cheers than thenew president.
Lee sat on his horse as gracefully and
grandly as our Governor Buckingham
used to do at his inaugurals . on old
“Pathfinder," and so wild was the
cheering which greeted him along the
line, that the idea seemed to have caught
many in the crowd, that it was Gen. Lee
who was being inaugurated. The old
rebel elements of this city and the
adjoining states were all to the front and
have not had such a gala day since Grant
and the boys in blue conquered the
rebellion. No such demonstration and
crowd of people .was ever witnessed in
this country, with the single exception of
the three days’ grand review at the close
of the war.’ The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad brought over "710.000 passengers.
‘into the city during the twenty hours
preceding noon of the 4th, and the Pa. R.
R. claims to have brought nearly double
that number. The Baltimore road had its
track picketcd every mile with flagmen,
and trains were thus kept five minutes
apart over 'its entire lines. Not a
passenger was harmed on either road.
The vast crowd was the most orderly and
best natured ever seen and there was far
less drunkenness and disorder than was
to have been expected. There was a
grand army of pickpockcts present
plying,r their vocation, and some thirty
were captured by tho vigilant police.
The city is still fullof sight seeing strong.

The inauguration ball-like": all else
connected with the inaugural fete, was a
superb success. It is stated, that not less
than 12,000 tickets was sold. There never
chanced to be such roomy quartcrs as the
new pension building proved to be. Of
course every attendant was delighted.
The music was superb, the down-aliens
and company grand, and the supper

.appcijzing and satisfying. Nearly seven
thousnnd tickets were sold next day and
[evening at 50 cents each, simply'lo view
the building's interior and its georgcous
decorations. Among the many Connec-
ticut people who attended the ball were
Mound Mrs. Representatives Seymour,
lfiutc'in and Mitchell and Mrs. Mitchell‘s
sister, Dr. and Mrs. Warner of Bridge—
port and Gov. C. B. Bowers and son of
New Haven. Mrs. Mitchell was remarked
as one of the most attractive ladies
present, both in person and toilet.
President Cleveland accompanied by his
two sisters and err—President Arthur were
among the notables who were present late
in the. evening. ' .

seems to be" among the democrats them-
selves. Of course it is natural that the
democrats from Connecticut, New Jersey
and Indiana should feel that a slight had
been cast upon their democratic states.
Ohioans also feel sore that their grand old
god-father of democracy—Thurman—was

of two cabinet ministers from New York,
while they were left, is severely criticized
by them. ' It is likely that these states
will receive due recognition by positions
tendered their distinguished citizens. The
democratic Post of Saturday says that
Connecticut was passed over because 'of
antagonisms in the democratic party there.
This is, doubtless, a slight exaggeration.
It isrelated of President Cleveland that
he has conceived a special fondness for
both ex-Governor Waller and Represents.
tive Mitchell, and would have been will-
ing on personalggrounds to have invited
either one into his cabinet, but it coming
to his 'ears that these two patriots were
not altogether harmonious among them-
selves he deemed it wisest to pass by our

little state. He is also reported as not

warming up very hotly'to the “old guard"
or moss-back portion of the Connecticut
democracy. The selection of Senator
Lamar is as unfavorably criticized as any .
He was not only an ardent confederate,
but' when the'lllcxican pension bill was up
pronounced aglowing eulogy upon J effer-
son Davis in the Senate, and only recently
resented with hot tempcr'Senator Sher.
man's allusion to Davis as a traitor. He

about the Senate, although republican, is
to take Mr. Cleveland at his word, and
give him a free and unembarrassed oppor-

moderation, fairness and conservatism.

Major 0. P. G. Clark of Rhoda Island,
who was promoted to he commissioner
of pensions by President'Arthur upon the
resignation of Commissioner Dudley, is
one of the best 'and most faithful officers
that bureau ever had. and it was a sur-

prise Saturday to learn that the president

of Illinois. This surely is not quite in the
line of the adherence to civil service law
and rules promised.

m GOOD TEACHER.

It is a singular and interesting incident
connected with the wide and permanent
influences of a faithful teacher which
lives after them, that there were assembled
at the Senate end of the Capitol one
evening last week, four graduates of
Amos Smith's school at New Haven,
three of Mr. Gunn‘s school in Litchfield
County, and four of the loved and la-
mented Dr. J. C. Fitch‘s Novwnlk school.

By a strange oversiglit,'the sisters of the
president were not conducted to ‘ the
platform to'sec their brother take the oath
of office. Miss Cleveland will do the
honors of the White House. Her sisters,
Mrs. Bacon and Mrs. Hoyt (whose bus.
band is a nephew of our Mr. Henry 'I.
Hoyt of Highwood) will soon retum‘to their
homes. An intimate friend 'of Miss
Cleveland assures us that she will prove
one of the most popular ladies who has
ever presided over ‘ the presidential
mansion. She has the remarkable faculty
of remembering namosnnd faces of all she
meets, and is moot genial in her disposi-
tion and manners.

The Strike. ‘ . _ '1

At the striking hatters' committec'roo
in south Norwalk yesterday, afternoon the
Gggtrrnreportcr was idnformed that al-
tlidlrgh L the? strike has not materially
changed in its general aspect, the outlook
continues to grow more'und more favor.
able to the ultimate. success of the men.
The failure 'of A. Solman, which was
reported in the newspapers-a few! days
ago, was one .of the results that the men -
had forsecn as anoutcomeof the difiiculty.
The tlfid Co-operative hat company is
nowfully organized, and active operations
will be commenced as soon as the question
of location is settled. Both the other
companies are at work—~company number
2 at Norwalk, where the makers began on
full time yesterday. There are now 218
men, and 115 women out of work in
South Norwalk, a number having found

employment in other batting districts.

When the three co-operative shops are
under full headway, thefreporter was told,
.they will be able to give work to every
unemployed man and woman, and there
will not be one left for the. combination.
“No sir 1" said Tammany, with emphasis,
in reply to a question by the reporter,
“that will not virtually end the strike.
Our attitude toward the bosses will
remain the same, so long as they employ
scab workmen and produce scab hats.
The spirit of this strike is against scab
labor and scab goods, and even after all
hands are provided with work, the present
hostility will continue active, as long as‘
such labor is employed in this town, and
the consumers of the country will continue
to shun such products."

The repprt that one day last week
fifteen men had left the ranks of the
strikers and gone back into the combina-
tion shops was pronounced “all bash."
The strike will be four months'old to.
morrow (11th inst.) and in all that time
only seventeen men and eight women
have deserted. One of the deserters was
received back into the ‘union on payment
of a satisfactory fine, and Mr. Tammany

if they wanted them; in fact, they (the
deserters) would be glad of the chance to
bere—instated, but the trade is not ready
for them just yet. ' '

Mr. James Farrington came into the
committee room and the members asked
,him to give the reporter a statement of
the facts in regard to his transaction'with
l. C. Jolinson who had a letter in last
week‘s Sentinel. Mr. Farrington said, in
substance: “About half an hour before
the quarterly trade meeting was called,
in October last, Mr. Johnson, 'who was
then treasurer of the trade association,
came to me and' said that he had lent the
money of the assoointion, and hadn't
enough to balance up with the trade, and
asked me for a loan of $25 for three days
as he was ‘in a hole.’ He should have
had money enough to pay the rent of the
hall, and a slnall unpaid balance on the
secretary's salary. I said I didnTt have
$25 to spare, but he begged so piieouslv
that I finally gave him the money, but
declined to take his watch as security,
which he offered.- About a week after.
ward I Went to see him. be having failed
to refund in three days as he promised.
As he was not yet ready to pay, I took
the watch, knowing that other creditors
of Johnson’s wanted to get hold of it.
He held the watch and chain, in their
present condition worth 850; but a
jeweler in town offered to duplicate them

was over three months afterward, when
he came around with $10 on account, and
wanted the watch. I refused to give up
the watch or take the money. In the
meantime, cash to the amount of 815
came through my hands as trustee of the
association, which I kept on Johnson's
account, he, as treasurer, giving me a
receipt therefor. Aftérwards Johnson
sent his wife with $10 to redeem the
watch, but as there would be yet a
balance due me, on other outside dealings
I refused to give it up until the whole
account was squared. .Thereupon John-
son came himself and demanded the
watch, and threatened law, but I laughed
at his threats and said he should have the
watch when his account was squared.
He went away but came back in 20 min.
utes with the requisite amount, whereupon
I gave up the watc ." '

Mr. Tammany said, Johnson is now a
foul hatter aving turned in some time
after the sin 'e began; he stands 10-day a
dcfaulter to the trade to the amount of
$15. He boasts of the honesty of his
shopmatcs, when we know that one 'of his
mates at least‘has served two terms in the
Trenton state prison.

One of the committee said that a citizen
had remarked ' that if these Sunday
drunken orgies of the foul batters con-
tinued, he should enter a complaint to the'
city authorities. Last Sunday there were
nine of them making the day and night
hideous in his’neighborhopd, as might be
expected from the class of men that had
been imported.

for the iobbiug trade. T ransacting much
business for all the hails-rs, and being a
frequent visitor to their salesirooms. I am
in a position to know of what I say. A
gentleman and a jobber of bats who has
a factory in Orange, said the class of men
wholhnvc 1ch Newark and- Orange he
knew to be only thirdclass workmen,
thereforejt was not surprising to him that
such bats were sent to market from . the
combination shops. In regard _ to Sol:
man‘s failure, it is currently reported in
- New York, and notwithstanding Hunting-
ton’s ‘and Pelham's denial in Sunday's
Tribune, Imust'believe it is so, when a
firm in' New York, largely interested, tells
me it is so. . ‘

,The whole strike, the refusal of the
bosses to talk or confer with the jours,
has been a detriment to the city, from
which it will not recover in flv’e years. It
isfelt socially, financially, morally and
politically, and the results cannot be fore-
told, ANNEX.

Sometime ago, two colored women
were reported in a Norwalk paper [the
Guam] as beg‘gin for a new church to
be erected in th s c ty. The Post copied
the item and said they must be frauds, as
there was no such church in contempla-
tion. The ladies called at this~omce this
morning, and said they were not after
money orachurch, but were obtaining
subscriptions for a new suit of clothes for
the pastor of the Messiah Baptist church
of which they are members. They didn’t
want to be considered frauds and had
their papers showing their authoritv.
They said they were in Norwalk solicitirlg
because their church did] helped them
down’thcre a while ago. Their cause is a
deservin one, and it is hoped thev will
meet wit success—Bridgeportl’oit.
While the Guerra cheerfully seconds
the, Post's tribute to the merit of the
“cause," it is nevertheless a fact that the
women did distinctly solicit aims in NorL
walk “for the benefit of their church,"
their statement to thcvcontrary notwith-

standing." '-

they are just now. Im r'oved- processes
of manufacture, the redllced cost of man.
ufacture, the low price of material and
the competitions of trade, have all con.
spired to bring even the finest and hitherto
most expensive carpets, such as ‘Wilton,
Moquette, Velvet and Body Brussels;
within the reach of people of moderate
means. At the“ same time there has been
a vast improvement in guallty in the whole
range of still lowerpriced' ts such as
Tapestry, Three-Ply and Ingrains, so that
these in durability and beaut new com.
to with the finer fabrics be ore named.
t is, however, of the utmost importance
, to purchasers to see that they are getting
for their money reall worthy and service-
able goods. At no t me is more 1.1. 2.1.1.
of close but inferior imitations of genuine
. goods, than when the prices of the latter
are low and the chances for increased
profit through unfair pretence of compo-
tition, are conseq‘uently greatest for the
b0 us articles. obe certain of. getting
on y the best goods at the lowest prices
possible the wisest course is to atronize
an old established house with a gh repu-
tation to maintain, and an unrivalled stock
in all departments of their business, such
as John and James Dobson, 40 and 42

Quick Work.

Enrroe Gaza-mn—In the Westport
column of your paper last week I noticed
an item stating that a Westport blacksmith
had shod thirty horses in one day. I
would like to ask if he calls a day, 10,- is
or 24hours. In case he means; 10' hours
he would command a good salary as to
shoe thirty horses in ten hours is a great.
achievement. I had, at one time, an
apprentice who had not been with me
four months, who drove on 33 sets of
shoes between fl a. to. omit? p. m. I
thought that a good day's work but the

Westport man is ahead of my time.
