Tuesday. Aug 25, 1885.
Special. .
This issue of the GAZETTE goes out to
its readers considerably late, owing to the
Complete emptying of the rcsgrvoir sup-
plying the watcr force on which we de-
pend to drive our presses. Other con-
cerns in town depending on the water for
steam and motor supply were obliged to
suspend opei‘ations entirely. As there is
no attachment to our large press for run-
. ning it by hand, and there is not a press
in the borough or city large enough to ac-
commodate our forms, we have been
obliged to hold back, at the mercy of the
water officials, notwithstanding our local
brethren have, with fraternal kindness,
proffered the use of their presses, which
are equipped with appliances ' for hand
power for emergencies, but which prove
to be too small for our use.
We have finally succeeded in rigging a
hand crank to our motor, and are thereby
enabled—no thanks to the reservoir folks
—to issue our paper only 24 hours late.
The rcserVOir is still dry. .
________._...——a
Good Roads and Bad.
The selectmen of the town may well be
pardoned for a feeling Of self-congratula-
‘ tion over the condition of the town roads.
For never within our recollection have
these roads been placed and kept in a
better condition than they are at present.
And while no little part of this state of
affairs ,i due to the possession of the re-
cently purchased road machine, it must be
admiWhat the town never had a board
Eien who were so thoroughly alive
tdvantages to be derived from good
than the present board, or who ever
.ed an equal share of their attention
.Iat particular purpose. The Comstock
11, Wilton, New Canaan, Saugatuck,
egory’s Point, Bell Island and Roton
ads are now all in good condition and
.lie work still goes on. The road machine
was at work on the Belden Hill road last
week, and by the time winter sets in it is
thought the grand circuit of the town may
be made over roads, the condition of
which shall be second to none in the
county. So much for the town roads! _
On the other hand the court of burgesses
may also be pardOncd for a hearty feeling
of shame over the condition of the borough
roads. The condition of these latter is a
disgrace even to men who spend so much
of the people’s money foolishly as do the
present court of burgesses. . River street,
Union Place, Prospect Hill, Belden avenue,
Camp street, Lower Main and Wall streets
are bad enough, to say nothing of “Pud—
ding Lane” and sundry cross streets in
various parts of the borough. West
avenue, the principal thoroughfare, is in a
state bordering upon eruption. In fact
there is hardly a street in the borough,
unless, perhaps it be in the immediate
contiguity with Maples street, but which
evinces the most flagrant neglect of duty
on the part of the borough ofiicials. And
it is the wonderful care which is taken of
the roads in that one particular locality
which prompts the question as to whether
the present burgesses were elected for the
purpose of benefitting a private business
venture:
The town roads are very good. The
borough roads are very bad. And we
know of no more striking illustration of
the methods of the men who regulate
their respective conditions.

An~Interestins Relic.
Anything that pertains to Gen. Grant
has, just at present, an absorbing interest.
' But aside from its connection with the
late hero, Mr. George W. Cram of this
place has a relic which in itself is so inter-
esting as to deserve more than passing
note. It is nothing more or less than a
copy of a newspaper printed upon wall
paper—an unique, as well as highly
ornamented specimen.
On July 4, 1863, that ever memorable:
day, when the victorious Union soldiers
marched into Vicksburg, the forms of the
Vicksburg ‘(h'tz'zen of July 2, which for
some reason had not been printed, were
found in the printing office ready for the
press. It struck the Union soldiers that
it would be a bright idea to put to press
and print the paper set up by rebel typos.
Accordingly a search was made in the
ranks and several printers found. These
went to work. One paragraph on the
editorial page, which had been set up in
anticipation of events that never occurred,
read as follows:
ON Drr. —That the great Ulysses—the Yankee
Goneralissimo, surnamsd Grant—has expressed
his intention of dining in Vicksburg on Satur-
day next, and celebrating the 4th of July by a
grand dinner and so forth. When asked If
he would invite Gen. Jo. Johnston to Jom be
said, “Nol for fear there will be a row at the
table.” Ulysses must get into the city before
. he dines in it. The way to cook a rabbit is
“first catch a rabbit,” etc.
One of the Union compositors supple?
mentcd the above with the following note:
NOTE.
JUL! 4, 1883.
Two days bring about great changes. The
banner of the Union floats over Vicksburg.
Gen. Grant has “caught the rabbit;” he has
dined in Vicksburg, and he did bring his dinner
with him. The Citizen lives to see it. For the ‘
last time it appears on wall paper. No more
will it eulogize the luxury of mule meat and
fricassed kitten—~urge Southern warriors to
such diet never more. This is the last wall
paper edition, and is, excepting this note, from
he types as we found them. It “‘1“ be valued
hereafter as a curiosity.
paper was put to press and printed by the
Union soldiers. The paper caused much
merriment at the time and the copies were
eagerly bought and saved as curiosities.

Our Fall Elections.
A Hartford correspondent of. the Tri-
bune, referring to our approaching Octo-
ber Town Meetings and the November
Legislative elections, calls attention to the
changes made in our State election laws
by the last legislature. He says :—
The November legislative elections take
place as usual with the exception that the
tenure of office of Senators elected in the
odd-numbered districts is limited to one
year, in order that the terms of all the
twenty-four Senators may expire at, the
close of next year; for in November, 1886,
the Senators will be elected for two years,
and the Senate will cease to be a continu—
ous body. As there is no matterof polit—
ical interest pending, or affecting the re-
sul‘ss of Nor-ember election, there prom-‘
ises to be no particular efforton the part
of either party to work for the party’s sake.
A candidate for-Senator in the 13th Dist-
trict, will have to be selected and we have
as yet heard no name so frequently men-
tioned for that honor, as State Committee—
iiian E. J. HILL. If nominated, he would
make a vigorous canvass.

Our Water Panic.
The public is sure to grumble whenever
its comfort is interfered with. But unex—
plained, the universal complaint and in-
dignation cicpressed by the users of our
borough water does not seem to be im—
reasonable. It was shutoff without no.
tice, and this seems to have been unncc-
essary. Had due notice been given much
of the inconvenience suffered could have
been avoided or mitigated.- Then so long
a delay in replenishing the emptied ms
7 _'_. ervoir without any explanations from our
water commissioners, is universally com-
plained of as unnecessary and unreason-
’ Liable.

Real Estate Transfers.
The following transfers of real estate
were recorded during the past week:
Frances Emily Cox, to Fannie I. Wilcox,
of Danbury, lot on Bell Island, consid-
eration $450.
Emily A. Lyons to Ann A. Parker, land
on Wilton avenue, consideration nominal.
Legrand Jackson to Edward M. Jackson
and on Elm street, consideration $850.

Random Ramblings.
RY ROSIE ROWE, OUR RANDOM RAMBLER.
I see by your last issue that another
Winnipauk “brute,” as you call him, has
been pounding his wife. That delectable
hamlet seems to be good breeding ground
for wife boaters, and your recent appli-
cation Of the term, “Winnipauked his
wife,” seems justified in view of the
pcculiarafilnity of the Offense for the local-
ity. By the by, the whipping post for
these wretches is cOming into vogue in
some sections and its effect is salutary.
Why not agitate the establishment of a
Winnipauk whipping post, and a lresur
rection of the old flogging system for the
benefit of these “brutcs,” whose favorite
pastime is “Winnipaukiug their wives.”

In the improvements now going on in
the Opera House it is to be hoped that
Manag'erMitchell will see to it that such ap-
pliances are put in as will tend to abate the
noisy nui‘sance of creaking, rattling wings
and scenery after the curtain is rung up
and an act is in progress. This aggravat-
ing fault has heretofore been a source of
annoyance to not only the audience but to
the actors. I understand, too, that the
hideous advertising bill board used during
the latter part of last season as a drop
curtain is to be replaced by a more sightly
one, and would suggest, gratuitously, that
an appropriate design, and one more on-
tertaining to the beholders than that
monotonous bill board daubery, would be
a sort of portrait gallery of our local
of Manager Fred. Mitchell himself' should
form the central figure, and the four cor—
ners would be handsomely embellished
with the features of Druggist Plaisted,’
John Buxton, Landlord Requa and Dr.
Bennett. This would leave ample space
for a host of other delinquents who could
be named. Such a panorama would insure
better attendance on the part of us ladies
and would have the effect of bringing the
private boxes into greater demand, besides
saving the expense Of an orchestra for
keeping the congregation awake between
the acts.
***
Is there not some law or moral obliga-
tion either upon our town or borough
oflicials which should make them take
away from the vagabond and totally dc-
proved parents that little child, which is
streets by that dissolute pair known as
“Danbury Jack and wife?” The sight of
the child in such associations is enough to
make one’s heart ache.
* * *
You know how zealous, perhaps
“cranky,” I am in the matter of keeping
alive the memories of our oldest and best
citizens by naming streets and localities
after them. Now I would like to see High
street changed to Cholwcll or Olmstead
street; North avenue to Lockwood avenue ;
Cross street to Sherman street, as the
father of General and Senator Sherman
lived on the corner of Cross and Main
street when I was a child. Then we
should have a Bissell avenue or Bissell
place, in honor of Governor Clark Bissell
of blessed memory. Another street or
park should be named for the late U. S.
Senator Thaddeus Betts. I hope, too,
that Mrs. Lyons and her daughter, Mrs.
Weed, will christen their contemplated
'new street Isaacs street, in memory of
those honored citizens, Benjamin and
Mott place, a Camp street, and a Butler
street, anda Belden avenue, which is the
only thing left to perpetuate the honored
memory of Henry Belden and his esti-
mable daughters, the Misses Margaretta
and Amelia. There is no way the names
of these worthy families can so easily and
approprirtely be kept from oblivion as
by calling our streets by their names.
~ ’ « =1- * as
Among all the beautiful and tasteful
specimens of monumental architecture to
be seen in our new cemetery, there is
nothing, to my critical eye, more appro.
priate to the one commemorated, or more
beautiful and original in design, than the
monument which Mrs. T. H. Morrison
has just had placed by the grave of her
lamented husband.

From current reports it would seem
that a society for the prevention of cruelty
to animals would fill a long—felt want in
this place. They do say that the horse
railway company have horses on duty that
are deserving of furlough, not only by
virtue of long and faithful service, but as
a measure of mercy. Only last Friday I
saw a poor suffering beast going with the
utmost difllculty up the hill near the
Methodist church, pulling a well loaded
car, and walking in such a manner that
the burden came on the right shoulder.
On closer examination it was seen that
his left shoulder was one sickening, raw
sore where the collar had chafed it. On
two of the ice wagons, also, there are
horses employed which, in almost any
other town, would subject the drivers and
owners to instant arrest for cruelty. Can
nothing be done in this land of churches
and high moral pretensions to alloy the
mute sufferings of these patient animals?
If not, then shame on your professions of
humanity and love of mercy. Would that
all men could, from the heart, chant the
invocation slightly paraphrased:
"That mercy we to horses show“,
‘ That mercy show to us.”

Mrs. William A. Kellogg.
Mrs. Mary A. Scott, wife of William A.
- Kellogg, of Norwalk, died early Thursday
With this addenda to the “On Dit” the,
morning last in the 43d year of her age.
She was first taken ill last Saturday morn-
ing with what the physician in attendance
pronounced typhoid-malaria, which devel-
oped into gastric fever, causing her death
as above. She leaves a husband and four
children, the youngest being about four
months old. The deceased was an efficient
and conscientious worker in the temper—
ance cause, and at one time was an ofiicer
of the grand division. She was in attend-
ance at the recent state temperance picnic
and to her untiring zeal is not a little credit
due for the success of the same. She was
a great lover of flowers, and many were
the handsome bouquets and floral pieces
fashioned with noticeable taste and contri—
buted by her to entertainments, receptions,
weddings, the sick, funerals, etc. She
seemed always happiest when doing a
kind deed or contributing to the enjoy-
ment and pleasure of others, and she will
be greatly missed by a large circle of
friends and acquaintances. May God
comfort the stricken family who have
cause to so deeply mourn her loss—Re—
publican.
Mrs. Kellogg was buried on Sunday,
both temperance lodges attending in
' a: body. The floral offerings were ele-
gant and were photographed on Monday
by Readman. They were contributed by
the Sons of Temperance, the family, and
friends.

A Post Ofllce Clerk Watched.
When We penned the item relative to
the departureof Mr. James E. Hubbell
from Norwalk, in last week’s GAzEr'rE, his
friends were circulating a subscription
paper for the purpose of raisingenough
money to present him with a gold watch
and chain. In a very short time the
amount was raised all being willing to
contribute and testify their appreciation of
Mr. Hubbell‘s unvarying courtesy while
clerk in the post ofllce. It was deemed
best not to make a public presentation,
for many reasons. Therefore the watch
was quietly handed him by Dr. Gregory
on:Wednesday evening. Mr. Hubbell was
greatly surprised but subsequently mani-
fested the most grateful appreciation of
the beautiful gift.
The watch was furnished by J. Spencer,
and is a beauty. On the back lid is the
following inscription:
Presented to James E, Hubbell,
As a testimonial of their regard by
his friends in Nor-yolk,
August 19, 188:).
With the watch was handed him the
following letter:
Nonwnini, CONN. August 19, 1885.
DEAR FRIEND :—It was only yesterday known
to us that a flattering business offer from a.
western city had tempted you to resign the
position here, which you have held so long
and whose duties you have so courteously and
honorably discharged. _
We, who are only a few of the many friends
you are about to leave behind you in Norwalk,
take the greatest satisfaction in commending
you to the people of the new city whither you
are goin ’, as one to whom the important con-
cerns of usiness may he committed with abso-
lute safety, whose right character is firmly
established, whose principles arefiopnd, whose
conduct has always been high-minded and
without reproach.
While we heartily congratulate you on the
Opportunity to rise to higher things elsewhere,
we much regret that to do so you are con-
strained to leave Norwalk. _ '
' We have procured for you a slight memento
and token of our regard and of the place you
,hold in our esteem, which we ask you to accept
and carry for us, so that when you look upon
the face of this watch, you may not only note
the flight of time and ut each moment to Its
best uses, but ma p easantly remember the
many warm trion s you have left behind you
here, eachone ofwhom only hopes its hands
may number only sunn hours for you. .
We be 9, too, the . est things for you in
Clevelan and all throu h 1116,. and that our
career there may be sue as is promise by
your life among us.
With much regard we are, one and all,

Connecticut Firemen.
One hundred and twenty-two delegates
attended the convention of the state fire-
men's association in New Haven last week.
Secretary Jones, of Westport, reported
that 73 companies had joined the asso-
ciation. He also stated that in the state
there were 225 companies with a member-
ship of 4,800. Treasurer Snagg reported
that of the annual state appropriation of
$5,000 the sum of $1,250 had been received.
The receipts had been $1,650, and the
total expenses $207.20. The proposed
amendments to the by-laws {were adopted.
They provide that all members sick or in-
jured in the line of duty shall be entitled
to $2.00 each day, while unable to attend
to their regular business, and in case of
death from sickness or injury received
while in the performance of fire duty,
$150. They also provide that the widow
or widowed mother dependent upon the
deceased fireman shall receive $400, and
each child $1 per week until fifteen years
old. ‘Officers as follows were elected:
President, C. A. Gerdenier, of Bridgeport.
Vice-Presidents, A. C. Hendricks, of New
Haven; W. B. Thomas, of New London;
I. B. Hyatt, of Meriden; Nicholas Staub,
of New Milford; J. M. Whitlock, Of West
Ansonia; Henry D. Eaton, oleartford;
J. B. Carrier, of Norwich ; C. H. Dimmick,
of Willimantic; William Ryan, of Bristol.
Treasurer, E. G. Snagg, of Waterbury.
Secretary, John S. Jones, of Westport.
The action of the last legislature in appro-
priating $5,000 to disabled firemen was
gratefully acknowledged by resolution,
and Senator A. H. Robertson and Repre-
sentative N. Staub were tendered a vote
of thanks for their efforts in behalf of the
state firemen. The convention Will re-
assemble on August 18 and 19, 1886, at
Bridgeport.
Hard. Trials.
Peter W. Sturges, of Westport, is pur-
sued by misfortune. A few days ago his
house was broken into and robbed of a
sum of money. The Bridgeport Farmer
gives the following list of the afflictions to
which he has been subjected during the
past two years: In September, 1883, a
shed on his premises was burned to the
ground, with all its surroundings; in Feb-
ruary, 1884, his house was entered and
money and other articles stolen, and on
the 2lst of April the offense was repeated,
gold and‘ silver watches. silver spoons,
clothing and many other things being
taken at the latter time. Since then his
dwelling has been forcibly entered three
times, and upon one occasion all the pork
in the cellar was taken away. He has
never been able to learn who the burglars
were, or whether or not they were the
same parties upon each incursion. Mr.
Sturges lives alone with no one near at
hand to summon. On the 14th of August,
1884,_ his cow shed and wagon house
were set on fire and destroyed, and on the
27th of May, 1885, the same fate befell his
barn, a wagon, harness, three tons of hay,
and various implements being consumed
with the building.

Phenomenal Inefilciency. .
Not a newspaper outside of New York
city is saying a word in behalf of the pro-
posed national monument over General
Grant’s remains in Riverside Park. Nine-
tenths of them jecr at the metropolis. talk
about the ultimate removal of the body to
Washington city, and urge their readers
to send their contributions to local monu-
ments. All this means that if a monu-
ment is to be erected in Riverside Park
the money will have to be furnished by
,the city of New York. Up to this time
only $43,000 have been collected, and the
committee is displaying inefficiency which
is almost phenomenal.——_W07'hl. '

Grossly Imposed Upon. .
There is something really cruel, as
well as pathetic, in the way that President
Cleveland's friends and supporters have
imposed upon his inexperience and good
nature in the matter of appointments to
Office. No wonder he was moved to lash
one poor petitioner who had ‘thus grossly
imposed upon .him, for posooner does he
find that he has appointed a‘convicted and
self—confessed horse thief to an ' office out
in Colorado, than he is appalled to find that
he has appointed a man in jail to be a
postmaster right down here inMainc. No
wonder the poorPsesident wanted to his

New, Raven’s. Colonel sellers.
We are informed that Colonel C. S.
Bushnell,~ of New Haven; . has again
“struck ile.” That he has negotiated'for
and become the possessor ' of the title
deed to untold millions worth of real estate
on Staten Island. His deeds are old but
strong, and the present nominal owners
and occupants of this large area of real
estate are, owing to defective titles, tres-
passers upon large tracts of most valuable
lands and watcrfronts on that aristocratic
island. The Vanderbilts, Astors and other
land holders Of large wealth are said to be
involved and will be made defendants in
Bushnell‘s cjcctment suits." NO one at-
tempts to estimate definitely the enormous
fortune to come to our famous Connecticut
Colonel Sellers, but it is variously estima-
ted as sure to be from ten to one hundred
millions 'of dollars. Mr. B. has had a corps
of engineers running out the various lines
defined in his ancient deeds, and he has
himself had to employ the use of a horse
and buggy to drive over the areas, so ex-
' tended are the tracts covered by his pur-
chases of the old titles. What gives cred-
ence that ‘Bushncll has again struck a "big
thing” is the fact that such sensible and
wealthy brokers as Colonel Brayton Ives
are said to be backing him in his collosal
scheme of ejectment, and that they do this
upon the opinions Of the best legal talent
Wall street can command as to the validity
of his titles. There are scores if not hun-
dreds of Connecticut people, who will feel
a special pleasure in knowing that Mr.
Bushnell’s latest and grandest of all his
great schemes has proven reallysuccessfnl.

Will Remain in Jail.
Counsel interested in the application of
Nathaniel Sands for release from jail in
this city by virtue of ' his taking the poor
debtors’ oath were on hand yesterday to
continue the hearing on the review of the
former proceedings. As Mr. Sands de-
clined, however, to answer further ques-
tions regarding his financial condition,
Judge Hall dismissed his application for
release. It is understood that Sands’
counsel advised him not to undergo further
cross examination as to his monetary mat-
ters until the conclusion of the suits now
pending against him by the city of New
York. It is through the judgment in a
previous suit growing out of his alleged
connection with the Tweed ring that he is
in jail through inability to furnish a bond
of $150,000. Until a final disposition of
the pending case be made will remain in
jail.-Bridgeport News. ~

big run this fall."
Brother Pinney announces that Alfred
J. Cairnes has given up his position as
foreman of the Winsted Press job depart-

the hotel landlord had refused to board
Cairnes any longer because he was not
“sufficiently remuneratlve," and also that
Cairnes isn’t a “remunerative” individual
for Winsted, any way.

There was not a finer-looking officer in
the Union army than Hancock—Burling-

No. nor is thereafiner-looking officer in
any army now—Sun.
During the war Gen. Hancock was con-
ceded to be the finesbloeking Officer in
the Union army, with the possible excep—
tion of Gen. Hooker. But since the Sun
has put his avoirdupois at 260 pounds, he

The Fossil Impeached.
A Branchville correspondent writes
thusly in reference to the recent Catholic
pienicfrom Norwalk: “Immense trains
passed over the Danbury 8: Norwalk
railroad on Saturday last, every car filled
to its utmost capacity with picnickers
from Norwalk bound for Brookside Park.
That old Danbury fossil who said, when
the road was first projected, that two
trainsa year would do all the business,
and that the only freight would be ‘beans’
and ‘wind’ probably never took in a
Catholic picnic.”

To The Public I—A CARD.
have recently learned from creditable au-
thority that statements are being industri-
ously circulated, with the evident intent of in-
juring my business, to the effect that in my use
of the new process of enibalming the dead, on
exposure of the remains is usual and rendered
necessary for its elfectual application. Noth-
ing can be further from the truth. I have used
the system, which is new adopted by all the
leading and best undertakers of' this country,
for nearly two years, during which time I have
not used a single pound of” ice for preserving
the bodies of the ( cad. And I am the only un-
dertaker who has not used it. But in no in-
stance has it been necessary to expose any
morcot the person of the corpse than is seen
after it is laid out in the casket for public view
and-burial service. The process of administer-
ing 10.15 as (le;ieate as the injection of a liy o-
dcrmic needle in the wrist or hand to al av
pain in the living subject. I confidently ap cal
to every friend of the more than a bun red
subjects I have used the process upon and who
have witnessed its administration, to confirm
niy'statement in this respect, and to aid in re-
futing the injurious. cruel and heartless false-
hood to which I have been forced to refer.
