Candidates-

For once in the history of Norwalk the
offices seem to be seeking the men, rather
than the men the offices. There seems to
bean absolute dearth of candidates for
the positions which must be filled at the
coming borough and town elections. The
labor element which has sprung into ex-
istence so recently, and which has taken
on a potent and'tangible form since the
batting troubles of last winter—seems to
hold the balance of power between both
the old—parties, and the wiser heads of
these parties, are waiting to see what this
new element intend before jeopardizing
their own political existences. It is due
to this, probably, that there is so little
openly said, and so few preferences ex-

pressed. ‘
The. only nominations that seems to be

“down on the card" are those for select-
men, senators and representatives. The
republicans will, in all probability, run
the old board of selectmcn, Messrs. Chas.
H. Wheeler. and Captain Sammis. The
records, of the gentlemen are excellent,
and there is no fault found With their
administration of their ofiice. By all the
principles of civil service reform they
deserve the re-nomination they will prob-
ably,géf,, .It has been_said ,tbat Captain
Sammie-would refuse to run again, but if
the. interests of his party were at stake we
have no doubt the genial captain would
silence. his own inciinati . His record
as selectman is first-class every respect,
and his renomination would be equivalent
to a re-clection. The same might be said
of CharlcsA. Burr, on the democratic side,
who has also proved unusually efficient
during his terms of office.

The elections for state senator and rep-
resentatives do not occur until November,
but a forecast of possible nominations may
be in order at this time. For the office of
senator there has been no other nomination
than that made by the Gimme some
weeks since, viz., the Hon. William B.
Glover of Fairfleld All concede that he
would make an exceptionally strong can-

“ didatc with every hope of his election.
On the democratic side Hon. Asa E. Smith,
the present incumbent, will probably be
selected. The only thing against him
from a republican point of view is his
politics. And from the democratic side
that is the only objection raised against
Mr. Glover. So that in the senatorial con
test the two probable nomfnecs will run
solely upon their party strength, and upon
their personal popularity. There being
no side issues against either, the contest
will, therefore, virtually narrow down to
street of party strength in this senatorial
district, and will, accordingly, be watched
with unusual interest.

For representatives, at this end of the
town, the republicans: have evinced no
decided preference. The strong light
made by. Mr. GeorgezW. Cram against a
packed'caucus last year is remembered,
and there is some talk of granting him the
nomination he was entitled to a year ago.
Another and very excellent suggestion of
the name of LeGrand C. Betts has been
made. The nomination of Mr. Bette
would doubtless prove a strong card for
the republicans, who would thus gather
to their support a powerful element, which
Mr. Cram could hardly hope to control.
But we are informed that Mr. Belts has
no desire to go to Hartford, and unless
his wishes in the matter can be overruled,
this fact would seem to place him out of
the field. The democrats are also all at
sea for nominees for representatives. Mr.
Price recognizes the accident by which he
was elected last year, and doesn’t want to
risk defeat this year. And the same spirit
seems to actuate all the more prominent of
his party. It may, and probably will be,
that, before caucus-time, candidates by
the scores will arise, but at present as we
have heretofore stated the offices (mirabi‘lc
dicta) are seeking the men.

As for the minor oflices the result of the
caucusses alone can decide. Therefore
attend the cancusses and put only good

men in nomination.
W

Sad but True. .
In his speech at the state fair at Meriden

Governor Harrison remarked as a sad fact,
but nevertheless true, that in many rural
districts in Connecticut, the population is
graduallydiminisbing. The school cnu-
meration, shows that the population in
at least half of the towns of the state is
decreasing. They are mostly agricultural
towns. He believed the danger could be
met and overcome, but how he couldn‘t
say. Continuing he said: “There are
able men who say it can only be done by
'. strengthening the agricultural interests of
the state. I call on all good citizens to
-- support them. The gtate itself must do it
,if;_;here is a Way in which it can. It is a
sad thing that these beautiful towns should
' _ -- decline, and the growth of the cities can-
r',‘ not altogether make up the loss. I believe
the remedy can be ascertained and applied,
because I have unbounded faith in the in.
telligence .and energy of. the people of
Connecticut: If Holland could we can.
When it is done no land the sun shines
on will have a better right to claim the
title of a model [commonwealth than the
beautifui, intelligent and happy state of

Connecticut."

Good Bye. ,

i , Thenclerk of the court of burgcsscs has
signed'the death warrant of that body,
viz., the call for the annual borough elec-
tion which will occur Monday, Oct. 5.
The successors of our quondam good
friends will at that time‘be chosen and,
granted that they may possibly be demo-
crats, they cannot but be an improvement
upon the board which has so openly mis-
used its power for the past nine monthb.

. And though the present burgesses will
hold over till January 1, the time will
seem short in the lively anticipation of

“a better time [and board] to come."

W
coming Treats.

Mr. Alex S. Gibson is preparinga series
of organ recitals, the first one to be
given on Monday evening, Oct. 5. This
will be good news to those who wereso
greatly pleased with the similar entertain-
ments given last winter.

W
A Good Ways Ahead.
The Hartford Post reports that the un-
Vciling of the 27th regiment’s soldiers.
monument at Gettysburg “will be deferred

until October 90th."

 

Funeral of Col Henry Allen.

The remains of the late Colonel ALLEN
were brought to ,Norwalk from Branford
last Wednesday morning and home to St.
Paul’s where funeral services were held.
Besides relatives and friends, nearly a
hundred veterans of the late war and
mostly members of his old 17th Conn.
Regiment awaited the arrival of the body
and marched beside it as an escort of
honor, from the depot to the church and
to the grave. At the church the reading
of the funeral service by Rev. Mr. Clapp
and response and singing by the choir
were unusually solemn and impressive.
The acting pail bearers were Gen. Noble,
Sergeant P. Wade, Capt. H. P. Burr,
Sergeant C. F. Loomis, Henry Huss, Levi
Dixon, Capt. Henry Quien, and Sergeant
Selah Blakcman. The casket was placed
in front of the altar surrounded by floral
tributes. The 17th Regiment association
gave a floral pillow with the inscription _
“17, Comrade, C. V.”
Comrades ‘ Barker and Gladding of
Slocum Post, G. A. R. of Providence, R.
I., and of which deceased was a member,
presented a star of choicest buds and
flowers, as a tribute from the post.
Lieut. Wm. A. Kellogg a crescent in red
geraniums representing the old Eleventh
COrps badge. A cross and a pillow
inscribed “Asleep in Jesus," were among
other floral tributes with which the dead
soldier was laid at rest. Sprays of
ripened wheat, cut from the Gettysburg
battle grounds where stands. the 17th
Conn.monument were placed in the casket. .
The flag of the old regiment, on the same
field, was displayed at half mast during
the day of the funeral. Comrades P. C.
Lounsbury and Willis McDonald, appoint-
ed by the regiment as pall bearers,
were beyond 'the reach of telegraphic
recall. The former in the Adirondack
woods and, the latter west of Chicago.
Err-Postmaster, N. D. Sperry of New
Haven; Judge Cowell of Waterbury and
Gen. Camp'of Middletown, fricndsliof the
deceased; Were-presentfat the funeral. .

Col. Allen‘s death is directly traceable
to his having been immersed in the Rap-
pahanuock River while crossing iii the
face of the enemy with his command on a
frosty morning, and ,being unable to
change his frozen clothing till next day.
This accident caused a hemorrhage of the
lungsafe‘w days afterwards, and these
have continued with more less frequency
and severity, till the fatal termination of
last week. He now lies sepulchered
besides his young, but veteran brother
who was shot before Petersburg, by‘ a
rebel sharp shdoter, only a few days prior

to the surrender at Appomaiox.

A Timely Hint. .
No small part of the success ‘of this
year‘s County fair was due to the entire
absence of the miserable gambling and
catch-penny contrivanccs which formerly
were so plenty and wliich,'in a large de-
gree, tended to bring into disrepute and
otherwise harm the really meritorious ex-
hibitions givcn annually by the society.
There was a wholesome air of moral puri-
ty all about the grounds this year and the
freedom from objectionable features form-
ed the strongest claim to support that
could be had. As a consequence every-
one speaks well of this year’s Fair ,and
there seems to be no reason-to doubt that
once more our County Fair is an institu-
tion to be proud of.
_ And while recognizing the able manage-
ment and conspicuous ability of Col. Wat-
son, Noah Bradley and the several other
capable and efficient workers, it must be
conceded that, more than to all other
causes, this grand result is due to the per-
sonal and untiring efforts of the secretary,
Mr. Edwin Hoyt of New Canaan. Deep-
ly discouraged by the failure of previous
exhibitions, Mr. Hoyt resolved this year
to make a final effort to place the society
upon a paying and successful basis. And
at 'a very great sacrifice to his private in-
terests and business, he devoted all his
energies toward that end, and the free-
dom from gambling and other objection-
able features at this year’s exhibition is
due more to his Christian influence than
to tiny other direct or indirect cause. The
result has been seen.

The Fairfield County Agricultural Soci-
ety cannot too highly value the services of
Mr. Hoyt. Neither can they too highly

reward them.

An Ingenious Plea.

It has been printed, as a plea for the
election of Mr. James W. Hyatt as warden
on a so-called “citizens’ ticket,"—1st,
that $175,000 of the borough water bonds
would fall due the coming year and the
borough could not pay them, therefore the
debt must be refunded; 2d, that Mr. Hy-
att has peculiar fitness for such operations
and as warden could materially help in the
re-funding of these bonds.

Now as to facts. The water bonds do
not f all due this year nor for ten years to
come. The bonds were issued in 1871 for
25 years, with the privilege on the part of
the borough of paying them at the expira-
tion of fifteen years. It is this option
which comes due next year and, while the
bonds themselves should be rte-funded at a
lower rate of interest, there can be no
compulsion in the matter for ‘a half-score
years to_come. .

Now as to‘thc advantage to be derived
froijr, Hyatt being warden at the time
the refunding is done! Section'd of "An
act to supply pure water for the borough
of Norwalk,” approved July 15, 1870,
states. expressly that the water commis-
sioners shall place and supervise all bonds
issued for the borough water works. And
naturally enough the commis.ioners do
not intend that their prerogatives shall be
usurped. " r

The plea for Mr. Hyatt is ingenious a
well as abject. ' But it should have been

founded on fact,

Says the Portcliester Enterprise .' Chas.
Howland is a piano tuner. He claims a
residencejn Norwalk and a wife in Rye..
For several days past he pretended to have
been suffering from a stomach ache. In
Hyler's drug store he got some Jamaica
ginger and left without paying for it. At
a cigar store in Rye he purchased a quar-
ter’s worth of cigars, and told the prop'ri-
etor to “charge it." These “remedies”
not accdmplisbing a curg, he visited some
Port Chester saloons and called for beer.
When asked for money he pleaded stom-
ach ache, and an empty pocketbook.
Officer Parker put him in the lockup Mon-
day night, and he appeared at J usticc
Henderson’s court yesterday. The justice
informed him that beer and cigars would
never relieve his stomach ache, especially
if they were not paid for. None of How-
land’s victims, however, appeared to pros-
ecute him, and he was discharged. He
took the turnpike for Connecticut still
suffering from his insatiable appetite for
stomach medicine.

NORWAL KGAZETTE, TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 22 1885

Mind and Matter on a Lark.

The fat man's clambake“ at Dorlon’s
Point last Wednesday was attended by
about200 persons, most of whom were
fat. The attendance may not have been
as large numerically as on some of the
previous gatherings of this association,
but the fraternal spirit and disposition for
social intercourse and enjoyment showed
no signs of diminution. The chronic
grumblcrs of the “rule or ruin" stripe
were absent or scarce, and the annual
bake of 1885 was voted with refreshing
unanimity a gratifying success. Secretary
Murphy was ubiquitous in his efforts to
make it pleasant for the guests and Presi-
dent Dorlon was in his element. The
bake was opened at 2 o’clock, and the
quantity of clams, chickens, lobsters,
corn, sweet and Irish potatoes, water-
melons, etc., provided for the hungry
host was simply astonishing, and the
ferocity of the onslaught none the less
alarming. The table scene during the
hour of festivities was a lively and inspir-
ing one. The guests, with appetites sharp-
ened by the refreshing sea air. and diges-
tions in prime working order from the
journeyings to the place of sacrifice and
the lateness of the hour for sounding the
dinner horn, set to with a will. They
acrushcd clams, chastised chickens, lar-
ruped lobsters, pulverized potatoes, and
demoralized. generally the pastry and
desserts. Wit flashed, corks popped,
“chestnuts” rattled, and “all went merry
as a marriage bell." '

At the business meeting L. R. Kerr, of
Putnam, was elected president; P. Mur-
phy, Saugatuck, (reelected) secretary,
and the following vice-presidents: P.
Dorlon, A. W. Wallace, J. M. Heathcrton,
A. Hawkins, Harvey Ellott,_J. Wheeler.

Our Contemporaries.

George W. Hills of the Bridgeport Daily
Post, who is expanding through prosperity
so he begins to resemble a candidate for
the head of the table at a fat man’s clam-
bake, came over to the fairgon Thursday,
looking for an exhibit of anti-fat remedy.

The Meriden Sunday Whisper has just
changed its name to the Sunday Democrat.

Prindle thinks that on the day of the
fat man's clambake, “being a clam is
mighty unprofitable work fora few hours.”
Hence our genial neighbor’s implied moral
is, “Don't be a clam.”

Yankee Notions filled its long-felt want
during the fair like a little man.

The Ridgcfield Press and New Canaan
Messenger are making up faces over each
other’s “blunders." Brethren, brethren,
reflect; you are playing football with a'
bomb that every newspaper in the world
holds sacred. Fight it out on the question
of veracity, or circulation, or personal
beauty—or clse form a ring.

Editor James of the Thomaston Empress
took his “first vacation in five years" last
week. It was two and one-half days long.
As the New Milford Gazette came out as
usual, we conclude that James didn’t go
‘over to New Milford for vengeance and
gore—or else Bolles “lit out” too.

Wicked Pinney of the Wiiistcd Press is
going to “pump"Frcd Moore, the balloon—
isl, for a description of “the boundlessness
of uncut-doors," as it appears to a man
up in a balloon boys, and which cannot
be fully realized by “those of us who
crawl around on the surface of the planet
like worms in a garden.” Piqucy‘s “pump"
has a good suction, and we are anxiously
Waiting for the result of its connection
with a'gas bag. We would suggest, how-
ever, that Brother Pinney go up himself on
Moore‘s next trip, for it will probably be
his only opportunity, either in this world
or the world to come, to. see the top of a
cloud.

The Danbury Democrat piedjonc of its
forms Saturday, and Editor Wildmau
contemplated the wreck as serenely as if
his name was spelled with a little “w."

The Westporter, ofliciai fircmcn’s paper,
squirts a refreshing stream of “nozzle
sprays" every week.

The last two issues of the New Milford
Gazette have been simply “Fair."

The New Canaan Messenger has bright-
ened up considerably of late, gnd we
trust that the margin of its profits is as
wide as the margin on the copies it sends
to exchanges. If so, we would advise it
to add another column to each page,
which will shortcn‘up both margins.

A Meritorious Remedy .

A member of our own household has
been a sufferer for years from some sort
of a malarial derangement of the liver and
digestive organs, resulting in such a
nervous irritation and disturbance of the
brain as to; chronically prevent sleep.
About everything in the nature of ano-
dyncs were uiiavailingly resorted to, in
efforts to assuage the distressing malady,
when in compliance with the earnest
recommendations of a friend who had
tried and been bencfitted by its use,..we
procured a Herman's LIVER Pan, and its
quicting and soporilic effects were im-
mediate and indeed marvelous. A fiill
year's trial of the easily applied external
remedy has proved it to be in mi way
annoying or injurious, but of incalculable
benefit to the wearer. It requires unusual
courage to commend most of the modern
.advcrtised atent remedies, but we speak
what we flow, when we commend the
Homtlm Livsfr Pan to the suffering.

A‘flood Sermon. - _

Rev. Mr. Anderson is :a divine who
very justly has the reputation of keeping
his eyesropen and making good common
sense use of what he sees, all about him.
He visited the Fairlast week, shook hands
with Governor Harrison and his head
at the horse jockeys, but he found, with
slight deviation from Shakespeare,
“Tongues in whiflle-trecs, brooks in the
running Wheels, sermons in the patent
grave stones, and good in everything."
[So on Sunday morning he preached a
discourseio a delighted audience on the
inspirations of the Fair and the grand and
wonderful achievements in the mechanic
forces there exhibited, attributing this
recent and wondrous awakening of .the
inventive genius ' of the people to the
improvements in the art of ' printing,
which made newspapers cheap, :and so
universal that not only do all the people ,
read, but better-still, all the people think.
He finished by the declaration that these
astounding physical movements of 'our
times, steam, electricity, and till the giant
forces of the age, are the handmaids of a
higher life, a purer rel gion and . a larger
liberty to all mankind.

 

Heroic Old Jumbo.

It is now said that J un'ibo lost his life by
trying to save the little clown elephant
Tom Thumb. The approaching train on-
dangered the youngster, and after bellow-
ing with anxiety and betraying other signs
of mental disturbance, Jumbo seized ' the
little fellow and threw him over several
cars and switch tracks into a place 'of
safety. whilehc himself was killed. He
also, it is said, lifted Scott, his keeper, out
'of danger. This is the way the details
are given now, and if they are true they re-
flect: great credit on the departed monster,
showing him to be a genuine lover of his
race, big hearted, generous and utterly
unselfish. We it hope is true. It is a'good
example for man or beast to contemplate.

The small elephant’s leg is broken. The
railroad people claim the circus folks were
to blame as they were not in the usual
route. Keeper Scott is disconsolatc, not-
withstanding thc fact that P. T. Barnum
has given him a pension, the amount of
which is not stated. The skin of the great
Jumbo has been taken off in tlirecseetions
and the flesh burned. After being cured
it will be mounted in Rochester. An
English naturalist Wants to buy tlie'bon'cs
andskin, but Mr. Barnum won’t. sell at
present. He probably believes J ulnbd’s
skin and bones will be a big card for some
time to come—Bridgeport News.

A Bluff Game.

The Fairfield Adccrtz'aer has trodden on
some mighty tender corns, we infer from
the following in its columns: ‘

The Aden-fixer has received allint (from
whom we do not care to mention yet) that
if it publishes communications criticising
the official action of our town officers,
it will be compelled to suspend publica-
tion. We did not know that this was a'
prescriptive right of public oilicials in this
country. But if it is then there can be no
further use for the press. * * * Alwa s
supposed and we believe that the pub ic
will sustain us in seeking their opd, bet-
ter than if we suffered oul'se ves to be
frightened into allowing no letters but
praised every action of the powers that be,
to appear in Our columns. A jnewspa r
is managed in the interest of the pub ic,
not of an individual. and if there be not
enough manhood ill Fairficld. town to sus-
tain us in such a course avoiding all
malice and personal attack, we do not
know that we can die iii a better cause,
than in battling for the rights of free
speech, and free criticism upon acts, that
seem unwise, while carefully rcco niziiig
the good intent of the actors themse vcs.

A Pious Crank. .
George Meyer is the man who paints o
the rocks. Most people are familiar with
the sentences “Prepare for eternity,” and
other words that appear upon the rook;
in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey,
ltliode Island and Massachusetts. But
few people know who paints them. It is
GeorgeMe er, a German.‘ Thewriter met
him the otter day and had quite a long
talk with him. He travels finest of the
time with-his paint and brushes. He has
ptit 2.700 sentences on rocks since January
.and says that every one saves ten souls.

Paterson, N. J ., in one day. He says that
he is called a crank most every day,
which undoubtedly he is, as he sleeps in
barns and gets no pay for his work; but
he claims the Lord pays him. He says as
soon as he oes to work at anything else
the Lord to Is him to go to painting again.
The morning thatthe writer saw him it
was eight o‘clock, and he had painted five
sentences—Stamford Herald.

Lawyer Prescott Disbarred.

The superior court was in session on
Thursday and Friday of last week, occu-
pied chiefly with disposing of charges
made against H. H. Presscott, of‘ this
place, and D. W. Clarke, recently of Falls
Village, for misconduct as attorneys.
There was a hearing before a committee
of the court in Prcscott’s matter on Wed-
nesday. The charges were of bad moral
character, and of furnishing the burglar
Hadley with keys and a pistol just before
his escape from Sheriff Porter in 1883.
Much has been reported about that case
and the facts as proved before. thr- com-
mittee were briefly ihcsc: Hadley’s con-
federate :Howard stated at the time of
‘Hadley’a escape from the sheriff who was
taking him to Wcihcrsficld, that Hgdley
got the keys, by means of— which he had
just escaped, from Prescott, and had
given him keys, also, which, however,
had proved useless. After his recapture

from Prescott, and made a deposition to
that effect last week. In regard to the
keys there were these facts corroborative
of Hadlcy’s story; he was certainly fur-
nished WIIIike)S by some one, and he told
Howard at the time he got them that they
were furnished by Presscott. Still the
fellow is a burglar, the story is denied
point-blank by Prescott, and the commit-
tee found the proof of the latter’s 'com-
plicity insufficient. ' Thepisiol story‘ rests
on Hadlcy’s bare statement. The com-
mittee found the charge of bad moral
character proved, and 011 Thursday the
court approved the report, and disbarred
Mr. Prescott from the practice of law in
the courts of this state.

The Clarke case was tried on Thursday
and Friday by Judge Stoddard himself.
Asharp conflict of testimony arose on
the question of moral character, the
strongest evidence against Mr. Clarke
coming from his brethren of the bar in
that vicinity. The judge .l'cscrvcd his
decision and then adjourn-ad the criurt till
October 27 for the trial of one or two jury
civil cases.—Litclifield Enquirer.

. To The Puinc l—A CARD.

I have recently learned from creditable an-
tliority that statements are being industri-
onsly 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 etl'ectual a plication. Noth-
ing can be further from the guilt. I have used

loading and best undertaken of this country,
for nearly two years, during which time I have
not used a siDNIO‘pound of ice for preserving
'ihe bodies of t 0 end. 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 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‘adminisler-
. ing it is as definitions the injection of a by lil-
-’ dcrmic needle in the wrist or hand to al 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 ceiilirm
my 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.
Respectfully,

“20 War. E. QUIN'I'ARD.
