N ORWALK GAZETTE.

Tuesday. Sept. 1, 1885.
Special Notice.
The GAZETTE went out to its readers
last week considerably late owing. to the
“shut off” of the water works. Our
forms would have been sent to Danbm’y
and the paper printed and issued at the
usual time, had it not been for the fear
that, owing to the unusually large srze and
weight of the forms, the journey could not
. be safely accomplished. As it was, after
exhausting numerous devices, a fly wheel
was attached to our water motor, and the
services ofl'two powerful men secured to
turn the motor. After more than ten
hours of incessant turning the edition was
struck' off, and thus serious addition to
the proverbial trials of newspaper life
was temporarily averted.
But while we were able to surmount the
difficulties thrust upon us unaided, we
none the less thank our contemporaries,
who generously offered us all the assist-
ance in their power towards getting off
our paper.

A Mountain Out of a Molehill.
Quite alittlc feeling has been cngen
dcrcd between the borough and city offi-
cials over an alleged refusal of the latter
to help the former out of their difllculty
by temporarily supplying the borough
with water from the city mains. The mat-
ter has been thoroughly talked of and the
borough opinion is universal that the city
‘ has acted “small.” 0n the other hand the
city folks think the borough has been too.
“touchy.” And thus it stands to-day.
The caucus belli is’as follows: On Friday
morning W'ardcn Hyatt became impatient
at the delay in getting the borough water
started, and took action, as the boys say,
"on his own' book.” He drove to South
Norwalk and had an audience with
Messrs. D. P. Ely :aud J. M. Layton, in
which he suggested that the city allow the
borough to draw water from the mains of
the former. The pipes of both corpOra-
tions run very close to each other at one
point on West avenue, but the ends of the
mains are from sixty to seventy-five feet
apart. And in order to connect these ends
a trench must be dug and pipes laid. Mr.
Ely expressed the city’s willingness to
have this done, but that as a matter of
form he should ask that the Water Com-
missioners of the borough make written
application to the City Commissioners for
permission to use the water. In such
case, Mr. Ely said he would call the board
and consent would be given within an
hour, so that work could be immediately
Perfect Water Works.
The little, hamlet of Canaan, up in Litch-
field County, has the most complete and
inexpensive system of water works we
have ever visited. About two-thirds up
the Canaan Mountain two clear and co-
pious springs of water gush out of the
rocks. The springs are not five rods
apart and probably filter out through the
ledges from the same interior source. One
furnishes a constant stream of about a six-
inch pipe capacity, and the other of per-
haps three. Their receiving and distrib-
uting reservoirs are one and the same and
is not more than a hundred feet long by
thirty to fifty wide. Its depth may be
twenty-five to thirty feet and the water
thus stored is as cold as ice and so clear
that the bottom can be seen in every part
as clearly as if in a glass globe. The wa-
ter is so cold that snakes, frogs, eels and
ordinary fish will not remain in it. The
reservoir is run off as often as any deposit
of mud or vegetable matter is discernible
through a blow-off. But never is this
done until every consumer is notified and
that at least two days before the reservoiris
to be emptied, so that due preparation can
be made by the users. Thus no Serious
inconvenience has ever been experienced.
The crystal pnreness of the water in the
reservoiris secured solely by the filtera-
tion and creation of the same over and
through a bed of small rocks and coarse
gravel of a few feet extent, which lies be.
tween it and the springs. The only filter
used to cover the main leading to the vil—
lage is simply an enlarged tin skimmer.
This keeps out of the pipes anything in
the way of leaves or’twigs that may blow
into the reservoir. When this sheet of
tin with its small perforation rusts out, a
new and srmilar one is inserted and no
detestable and discarded sponges which be-
come racking with filth after a few days’
use are ever used to defile this water. The
total cost of these works was about $5,000.
Superintendent Samuel A. Bennett, who
accompanied us on our visit,-is a practical
hydraulic and civil engineer, and he is
paid a suitable salary for his efficient carc‘
of the works as every man should be who
has sense enough to manage such an en-
terprise. . Mr. Bennett was in the engineer
corps in Gen. Sherman’s army, when it
marched through Georgia. He laughed
heartily at the simplicity of our Norwalk
water managers, on account of whose ex-
ploits in endeavoring to cleanse our reser-
voirs he had read in the papers. But had
our borough voters had the sagacity of
these Canaanitcs and employed and paid
for the services a competent water engi-
neer, no such water famine and panic as
we have endured would have over-taken
"us. Our citizens have had a severe lesson
commenced. And he further added that and we hope it may result in adopting the
the city would make no charge for 9- sensiblc and only safe and practical meth-
tcmporary use of the water, say for a
week, but that incase the borough desired
to use the water for any length of time,in
justice to their own consumers they should
pay for the privilege. And the amount to
be paid would be left to the borough‘s sense
of propriety. So far so good, and Mr.
Ilyatt readily acceded to all this.
But on the question of expense there
was a diversity of opinion. Both parties
agreed that the connection ought. to be
made, not alone for this but for any future
emergency, whether city or borough was
affected. And accordingly, as both won
be benefitted in the future by the connec-
tion, Mr. Hyatt thought that the expcn
of the pipe laying should be equally borne
by both borough and city boards. To
this cogent argument the city board dc-
murred. They thought that as the con-
nection was to be made to help out the
borough, the borough should bear the ex-
pense. And while they would render any
aid in their power they did not think they
should be taxed for the benefit of others.
Both sides remained obduratc on this
question and the conference was ended.
The borough felt hurt that the city shou
“sticklc” on so smalla point when the
borough had repeatedly sent their fire e
ginc to help out the city at times of fires,
and had made no charge therefor. The
city on the other hand felt hurt that the
borough should suspect them of mean;
ness when they had made a generous of-
fer in the time of the borough’s need.
Thus the matter stands and both sides
are “touchy.” And in this state of offal

Let the connection be made at once.
Let the cost be made a matter of record.
Let the first one to need the Water pay
for the expense of the connection. Then
the pipes and connection are theirs.
Let the opposing side if they ever want
the water, pay to the owner the full cost
of the connection. And so let it go on.
Thus the matter will remain ad infinihm

A Correction.
The reporter upon whom the Bridgeport
Standard relied for information as to the
water famine last week, must certainly
havo been in the same condition as was
the town—viz", in need of water. For in-
stance, accordiugto the Standard's report,
the Gamma was printed in Danbury.
The fact of the matter is that a fly.
wheel was fitted onto our water motor and
two men engaged to turn the crank.
Twenty revolutions of 'the motor forced
one revolution of our immense press and
after nearly two days of incessant turning
our edition was finally run off. It was
hard work but we conquered.

Good Investments.
New bonds of the Housatouic road to
the amount of $20,000 were registered in
the comptroller’s office last week. These
bonds are of $1,000 each and are issued
to replace a similar number which have
become due and are sent in for cancella—
tion. The—bonds bear four per cent. in-
terest and are rated among the gilt-edged
securities. Holders of the old bonds are
entitled to purchase the new ones at par.

Mr. Hill Declines.
The following letter has been received
at this office and explains itself :—
Editors Norwalk GAZETTE.
GENTLEMEN :—I notice in your last edition
a kind allusion to myself as candidate for
the position of Senator from 13th district.
While appreciating the compliment, be
lieving that such service either as'Senator
or Representative would coufcr honor
upon any one whom the people might
deem worthy of the position, [I would
simply suggest that N orwalk has for three
successive terms named the candidate for
this office and, having been heartily sup.
ported by the other towns in the district,
courtesy and fair play would seem to
require that we should as cordially recipre-
cute for any candidate that they may have
to presentto 'thc nominating convention.
Under these circumstances, again thank-
ing you for your generous mention, I
would request that no further reference
should be made to myself in this connec-

to support him for that position, his own
wishes must be deemed conclusive. It is
therefore only just to him that he be
deemed entirely withdrawn from the
canvass, however much local pride and
preference might be gratified to have it
otherwise. This leaves the republicans of
our senatorial district free to put in nom-
ination an exceptionally strong candidate
in the person of Hon. War. B. Gtovsn, of
Fairfield. He has repeatedly been elected
representative in that usually democratic
town. As our senatorial standard bearer

The Water. .
., Owing to a chain of fortunate circum—
stances and to the until-ing efforts of a
few indirectly interested parties, the water
is now flowing into our distributing reser-
voir again and the water famine is at an
end. The damage done to our borough
manufacturing interests meanwhile, has
been large, 'a low calculation putting it at
$5,000 a day, which, for the week we
have been without water, brings the sum
total up to $35,000. This loss must se
Iriously affect our local trade, though the
gradual coming of better times which is
being felt all over the country may in a
measure} nullify this depressing effect.
But now that we have tasted the evils of
our present system of water espionage,
would it not be wise to remedy them?
There should be employed a practical hy-
draulic engineer who should have con-
stant oversight over the borough’s water
works receiving therefor a salary equal to
his efficiency. The Board of, Water Coni—
missioners probably do their best. But
they are private citizens and have private
interests to watch and care for. Their
labor on the public behalf is thankless and
practically gratuitous. Therefore, while
they doubtless give more of their atten-
tionto the matter than they ought in

Capsized.
The sail-boat of Fish Commissioner
Sanford was capsized during the wind
gale of last week, when just opposite the
Dorlon House. He had his surveying in-
struments and books of valuable notes
and records which went overboard with
the party in the boat, but Mr. S. dove for
and recovered them and then got ashore
with his drenched party in safety. Mrs.
Sanford was viewing the accident from
the shore, and when she saw her husband
sink under the water she became almost
frantic with fright, supposing that he had
been in some way injured that he was
drowning, but he soon rose above the
rough waves with his arm full of his pro—
fessionalaccoutrements and experienced
no more serious disaster than a thorough
wetting down;

Silas Gregory accuses the party who
gave the GAZETTE the graphic account of
the “kicking match” on the Westport'road1
of romancing. He says the Muse didn’t
“cut up" half as antic as reported, and
what is no doubt the fact, that its drivers
were more at faultthan the horse. (At all
events, as he will have only safe and gen.
tlc horses that man, woman or child can

A Compliment for Senator Platt.
John I. Davenport, when in town yes
terday chanced to see our copy of E. T.
Whitney’s superb life-sized photograph of
the late General 0. S. FERRY and remarked
“what a splendid likeness you have there
of Senator Platt." The resemblance be- -
tween Connecticut's living and dead Sena-
tor is often remarked in Washington, but
this is the first time we have ever known
their identity to be mistaken at home.

The Seventeenth’s Reunion. I
Few of the Connecticut regiments turn '
out at their annual reunions such a large
representation of the survivors as do'cs the
17th C. V.—thc dislinrtively Fail-field
county regiment—and in none is the cor-
diality and good fellowship which exists
among the members more marked. Fl'l- I:

was no exception to its predecessors in
these essential respects. The reunion was
held in Stamford, and a right royal recep-
tion did the Grand Army post and the citi-
zens gave the visitors. l
The members of the association met at
the depot Friday forcnoon upon the arri-
val of the morning trains from the cast ‘
and the west and exchanged the usual
greetings. Line was formed and under
cscort of Hobbic Post No. 23, G. A. 11.,
headed by the Stamford band, the voter-
ans proceeded to the skatingrink on River
street, where the business meeting was
held..
The association was called to order by
the president, Comrade Henry Huss. The
resolution of Lieutenant-Colonel Allen,
“That the oldest living male descendant
of a deceased member of the Seventeenth
regiment Connecticut Volunteers shall be
eligible to membership in this assocration
upon the death of said member,” laid on
the table at the last reunion for the second
time, was -taken from the table and on mo-
tion a committee of three was appointed
by the president to take the matter into
consideration and report at the next an-
nual gatherinrr. The committee appointed
were P. C. Lounsbury, Sclah G.Blakcman
and J. Irvin Benedict. .
General W. H. Noble, of Bridgeport,
offered appropriate resolutions on the
death of General Grant. They included
this passage : "That while the nation and
the world mourn his loss yet through the
clouds above the grave there shines the
light of a divine mission faithfully perm
formed and the radiance of an immortal-
ity beside that of the father of our coun-
try.” The resolutions were unanimously
adopted. Resolutions of sympathy to
Colonel Henry Allen, the regimeut’s old
commandant, and to his family were also
presented and adopted. Colonel Allen is
seriously ill and his absence and its cause
occasioned real regret among the comrades
present. He sent a note regretting his in-
ability to be present, which was answered.
The election of officers for the ensuing
year resulted as follows: President, Geo.
W. Kceler, Bridgeport; Vice-president,
Co. A, Capt. W. O. Merritt, South Nor-
walk; Co. B, Capt. Chas. A. Hobbic,
Darien; Co. C, Sci-gt. Geo. Dickens, Dan-
bury; Co. D, Scrgt. Selah Blakeman, Bir-
mingham; Co. E, Capt. J. E. Hubbell,

McCarty, Bridgeport; Secretary, Geo. S.
Purdy, Danbnry; Treasurer, Patrick Wade
Bridgeport; Executive Committee, Len
Dixon, Stamford; J. Henry Blakcman,
Stratford; Henry Huss, MLVcrnon, N. Y.;
Phineas C. Lounsbury, Ridgcfield.
An invitation from the citizens of Strat-
fortl to hold the next reunion at that place
was read and referred , to the cxceutifie
committee.
The band and Post 23, G. A. R. made a
march throughout the principal streets to
Town Hall, where the members and their
friends sat. down to a splendid dinner fur-
nished by the citizens of Stamford. The
inncrmanbaving been satisfied the vet-
erans were welcomed by Hon. Chas. E.
Hill, and the address of welcome was re-
sponded to by Comrade P. C. Lounsbury
of Ridgcficld. Afterward speeches were
listened to from the following comrades
of sister regiments: (‘harlcs H. Pike, 2d

Chas. E. Wilmot, Bridgeport; Gov. Harri-
son and Augustus Smith, New Haven,
and Mayor Grace, New York City. A
vote of thanks was given the citizens and
G. A. R. Post for their attentions, after
which the march to the depot was taken
when the good-byes was said, and each
departed for their resl-cctive homes.
Over 100 vcteraus' were in attendance.
At the business meeting it was stated that
John Cahill, a comrade, accidently killed
in Norwalk, had left a family in poor cir-
cumstances. Within ten minutes a purse
of over $100 had been made up for their
benefit.—Bridgeport News.

The managers of the Meriden State Fair
show good taste and sharp judgment by
abstracting bodily the GAZETTn‘s article of

Church and Town In Conflict. l -
The relations between the Congrega-
tional society of Ridgeficld and town itself
have recently become very greatly strained,
and in a manner which would have been
deemed impossible by the organizers of
these civic and religious societies. Nearly
two hundred years ago the town of Ridge-
field was incorporated, and almost the
first thing the settlers did as members of
the civil body was to organize a church
The same
people constituted both organizations, and
the law of the clutch was the law of the
community. New Ridgefield has become
a desirable place fora summer residence,
and many New York people have taken
advantage of its pure air and romantic
views. The church on the green, though
an almost unaltered and quaint relic of
Revolutionary da.'s, has become much too
small to accommodate its congregation.
The society determined, therefore, to tear
the building down or remove it, and to
erect a large granite building of modern
architecture, provided money enough
was subscribed. A number of wealthy
members of the congregation subscribed a
sufficient sum, provided the new building
was erected precisely on the site of the old
one. This the society agreed to do, and
began at once to make preparations to
tear down and rebuild.
But the Congregational church and the
town of Ridgefield no longer consist of
identical individuals. There are‘scveral
other churches, and its members are citi-
zens. These opposed what they regarded
as the decidedly cool way the Congrega-
tional church proposed to make use of
town land'without asking any permission.
Excitement was fanned to a blaze. A
town meeting, or two or three of them
were called, and as a result the Congrega-
tional society was very sharply informed
that it would not be permitted to rebuild
on the green. Then the lawyers were
consulted. The pious and impious people
of the town were heated, and the church
was very militant. The lawyers advised
that the town could not refuse to allow
the church to use as its own land that it
had held by immemorial use. The church
proposed to' do as it chose, and build ‘on
the old site.
Then a few days ago the lawyers thought
some more about it, and advised that
while the town could not ‘prevent the
church from using the land it had always
occupied, it could prevent it from using
any more. Thereupon the town triumph-
antly informed the church that while it
could rebuild on the old site, it couldn’t
use an inch more of land than it had
always occupied, and the town seems thus
far triumphant, for the church cannot be
enlarged without more room, as the pro-
ject of using the old site and modelling
the church inside after the plan of theatres,
with two or three galleries is not well re-
ceived. For some days the church com-
mittee have been in a rather despairing
frame of mind, but within a day or two
seem encouraged, saying that they have
decided on a measure which will be satis-
factory. The mattcr has caused very bit-
ter feelings, and has estranged some
families that have been for years most
friendly.—New York Sun.

Unclaimed Deposits.
Under tne law at present in force all sav-
ings banks have deposits which have
neither increased or decreased for the
period of twenty years, and having no in-
formation about the persons in whose
name the deposits stand, must report the
amount of the deposits and the names of
-the depositors to the comptroller yearly.
A deposit may have neither increased or
decreased for twenty years, but the deposi-
tor may be known by the bank officers to
be living and aware of the condition of
his or her deposit. In such casefi the law
does not require a report. Few of the
savings banks of this State have been in
existence long enough to have many depos-
its of this sort to report, but most of those
who should report have already done so
and their reports are on file in the comp-
'troller's office. The State bank of Hart-
ford has a total $1,694.19. The New Ha-
ven savings banks has a very long list of
deposits aggregating $10,107.67. Other
banks reporting are the New Milford with
seven items aggregating $60.66; the Ston-
ington with $401.90; Southport $3,013.06,
among its deposits being $1,227.33 in the
name of Eunice Bradley; Norwalk about
$6,000, Middletown $1,353.51; Peoples of
Bridgeport $404.81. The last named re-
port is of two deposits of which Ann
Moucghan has $301.36. The largest re-

The Hattera’ Label.
The Union Label Committee of six met
in New York on Sunday last with a large
attendance of delegates from nearly every
batting district in the country. Those not
represented had sent letters. It became
apparent that the feeling in favor of the
Label was all'but unanimous throughout
the Trade. In conjunction with the ques—
tion of the Label a proposition was dis-
cussed to organize the manufacturers
jointly with the journeyman and secure
harmonious action favoring the raising of
the market price of hats and of increasing
at the same time the wages of the men
and women working at the Trade. The
project was favor Ably entertained and thc\
committee signed an invitation to all the
manufacturers in the country to meet to-
gether for thc’abovc purpose. The Union
Label, it was decided, should be gotten
out without delay, and Presidents of both
branches of the Trade were appointed to
take it in hand and see to the details. The
Union Label may now be considered a
fixed fact, in the near future, and scab
shops will step “down and out.”—-—Journal.

Housatonic Valley.
Never did the wild and picturesque val-
ley of the I-Iousatbnie from Bridgeport to
Pittsfield look more enchanting than now.
The recent rains have given the narrow
valleys and hill slopes a greener verdurc
than is usual at this time of the year,
while the mountain sides and tops are cov-
ered with a dense foliage. Here and there
the fires and purple of earliest autumn
tints catch the eye and rival the crimson
of September’s setting suns. A ride over
the Housatonic railroad just;uow ,is a joy
and delight unalloyed. Its scenery is un-
surpassed by any road in the country and
its road bed is the smoothest and its cars
the cleanest and mostcomfortable of any
we know. President BARNUM has certainly
shown himself to be a man of the. most
thorough executive and administrative
ability in his management of this great
property. Time was when it was a re-
proach; now, in business management
and equipment, it rivals any New Eng-
land railroad. To Mr. Barnum‘s enter-
" risinws iril», energyund wise a recia-
a u
tion of the wants and wishes of the‘trav-
cling public, are we indebted for the op-
portunity to make one of the most on-
chanting railroad excursions possible from
tide water to the gra'nd old Berkshire Hill
county of grander old Massachusetts.

To The rub1ic_I—.s case.
have recently learned from creditable an-
Ihorin 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 embalming the dead, an
exposure of the remains is usual and rendered
necessary for its effectual a plicalron. Noth-
ing can be further from the rnlh. I have used
the system, which is now 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,r
the bodies of the dead. And I am the only un-
dertaker who has not used it. But in no in-
stance has it been necessary to expose any
more of'tbepersou of the corpse than is seen
after it fs laid out in the caslretl‘or public view
and burial service. The process ol'adminiatcr-
ing it is as do.icate as the injection of a by .0-
dermie needle in the wrist- or hand to :11 ay
pain in the living subject. I confidently appeal
to every friend of the more than a hundred
subjects I have used the process upon and who
have witnessed its administration, to confirm
my statement in this respect, and to aid in re-
futing the injurious. cruel and heartless false-
hood 10 which I have been forced to refer.
