New and Important Railroad Enterprise.
" The New York Tribune prints an article
upon a new projected line of railway to be
h
to there connect with the New York and
New England line and thus make a new
and independent line between New York'
and Boston, one capable of doing the dis-
tance in a time shorter by an hour than
any other route. New York and New
England stock has gone up on the strength
of this new scheme. The new road is to
be called the ' New York, Danhury and
Boston road, and, has secured an entrance
into New York city. A mortgagejo the
American Loan and Trust [Company by
the-New York, Boston and Danhury com
pany, has been filed in the County Clerk’s
office, at White Plains to secure tlie'issue
of $3,000,000 six per cent. bonds, payable

So while-the session reasonably can close

run it into the first week of August.
RIVER AND HARBOR.
The River and Harbor bill has finally
. passed the House with the Senate’s sever-
al changes and additions to it, and with
the final 25 per cent. reduction on all the
items of the bill. .
Both Houses having ‘passed the bill,
subject to numerous objections, it is now
left for conference committee to adjust
the differences and run it through as a
completed law. ‘
ouomeuzina.
After a severe and long protracted
struggle in the House, it passed the Senate
oleomargarine bill, imposing a tax of two
cents per lb. on all fictitious butter, With
severe penalties for attempting to sell it
for “honest cow” butter. This latter pro-
vision is the vital one, but it was claimed
the tax was needed so as to make it the
duty of internal revenue ofiicers to detect
any sales made with fraudulent intent.
The margin of profit, on all those various
preparations of artificial butters, is so
large that it is claimed the .tax will neither
increase the price to those whose stomachs
are rugged enough to knowingly use it, or
to sensibly diminish the fortunes now be-
ing made in its manufacture.
NAVAL.
The action of the House, Saturday, says
the President’s gorgan here, the Post, on
the Navy bill, can hardly be regarded as
wise, but it is much better than nothing.
The sum of $3,000,000 can probably be
made to tide over the summer, if it is not
a courageous grasp of a great question.
The marvel of this time is thathoth parties
do not rise simultaneously to their feet and
emulate each other in insisting upon an
appropriation adequate to the occasion.
'rnE PAYNE man.
A long and spirited debate was had
on the three different reports on the
Ohio senatorial election scandal. Sen-
ator Payne is or has been President of the
Standard Oil company, one of the wealth-
iest and most relentless monopolies in
America. His son, as it appeared in evi-
dence, had boasted that his father’s elec-
tion to the United States Senate had cost
him (the son) over one hundred thousand
dollars. The public believed this for he
is enormously rich, independent of the
father and is the one who sent Mrs. Secre-
tary of the Navy Whitney, his sister, the
free gift;of a certified check for $500,000
with which to purchase a residence in New
York, and- another check of $50,000 last
winter for her to use exclusively in giving
swell parties here during the gay season
and_as was boastfully reported at the time,
with such an entire forgetfuluess of the
“Jeffersonian simplicity” with which the
administration seeks to environ itself, that
he charged the sister, “not to let any of her
party-givingjrivals heather and if it requir-
ed more cash, draw on him for all she
could use. The Senate finally voted not
to investigate the scandal. The Star here,
democratic, says :—
“Without reflecting at all u on the char-
acter or course of that gen eman, there
can be no doubt that the most corrupt
means were used to make him the choice
of the nominating caucus; and while the
Senate doubtless had good grounds for de-
clining to go beyond the election itself, it
is none the less to be regretted that all the
facts of the case cannot be authoritatively
laid before the public. The impression
largely prevails in the country that the
Senate is rapidly becoming a close corpo-
ration of milhonaires an agents of mil-
lionaires, and the outcome of this case
will by no means aid in removing that im-
pression.” .
POSTAL seamen.
It is barely possible that the postal ser-
vice of the country could be worse, but it
it is difiieult to conjecture how it could be
and it fprobably never will be. Owing to
the replacing of a score and more thou-
sands of postmasters, great and small,
throughout the country, between two and
three thousand experienced and expert
railway postal clerks have been removed
and their places filled with“grcenhorns,”
who if they had been apt and intelligent,
(which is far from the case in many in-
stances) would require long practice to be-
come expeditious and accurate as those
they have replaced and the result is the
utter vexation and confusion in werything
connected with the mail service. The
people are the sufferers and it,remains to
be seen if this domoralized branch of the
public service is not soon restored to its
former accuracy and efficiency, whether a
patient nation will tolerate the present
conditions for another four years.
risimnr QUESTION.
Secretary of State Bayard has at length
given the Maine and Massachusetts fisher-
men assurances that he has awakened to
the annoyances and outrages they have en-
dured at the hands of the Canadian nu-
thorities and that the same shall cease as
he is now attending to the matter. Wheth-
er his words of comfort, coming so late,
will reassure those eastern skippers, or
whether thy will continue to sail forth with
a howitzer at the how, remains to be seen

five years ago :—
Early in the year 1861 the superintend-
ant, Mr. E. C. Bissell, suggested to one of
our teachers the advisability of commenc-
ing a separate primary department. Pre-
vious to that time the little children when
old enough to remain at Sunday school
had entered the same classes with their
older brothers and sisters. Very many
of these came under tlie.kind care of Miss
Harriet Betts.
The second Sunday in June, 1861, the
new department was organized in the
lecture room. There were at first eleven
little boys and girls, but before the lat of
January there were twenty-tliree‘fiiembers.
One of these is now connected with the
department as a teacher. The class con-
stantly increased, and at the close of the
first ten years (1871) there were ninety
names on the roll, and for several years
afterward the average rose to 120.
of the Housatonic road had been over
here a number of times, and Mr. Lock-
wbod himself had given the subject con-
siderable thought. He deemed the lease
an advantageous one for both reads.
Speaking for his own road he said that
while the company were paying a five per
cent. dividend, with the affairs of the road
in such a condition as to warrant the ex-
pectation that that figure might increase
rather than diminish, with opportunities
to float their bonds even more advantage-
ously than at present, he recognized the
fact thathiswas a vunerable road, depend-
out upon others which had it in their
power to work it injury. Through the
New York 85 New England road, over
which 50,000 tons of coal is hauled annu-
ally, the Danhury do Norwalk road secures
the transportation of 35,000 to 37,000 tons.
The withdrawal of this patronage, which
might easily be experienced through a dis-
agreement on figures, or the disposition of
the New England Company, the .D. & N.
folks could hardly afford. And this is
but a single instance. Mr. Lockwood
holds it as a wise 'move therefore, to dis.
pose of the management of his road, for 5
per cent. guaranteed by a corporation like
the Housatonic Company, whose stock
stands at 130, and who are paying a divi-
dend of 8 per cent. on their own stock.
On the other hand the Housatonic rail-
road will be benefitted in a shortening of
the distance from New York to Brookfield
Junction, by about fifteen miles, a saving
of half an hour between points above there
and New York on their passenger traffic;
to say nothing of the superior dock advan-
tages at Wilson Pbiut,t0 which the D.& N '
road extends. This dock presents advan-
tages far superior to the Bridgeport docks,
in the opinion of reliable judges. In the
matter of a saving of fare to the company,
they will be able by the new route to save
76 cents on all tickets from New York to
the Berkshire Hills, through the saving of
wear and tear by the shortened distance.
No date has yet been set for a ratifica
tion meeting of the stockholders, but a
meeting will probably be held within 30
days, and if the lease is endorsed—and
Mr. Lockwood thinks it will be—the only
remaining point to be settled will he the
date of relinquisliment of the manage-
ment. In his opinion, however, it will be
the desire of both companies that the
management remain as it is until the end
of the Danhury & Norwalk’s fiscal year,
September 80th.
In order to connect the two tracks it
will be necessary to construct a branch at
Danhury. The depots there are only or
few rods apart and the tracks run paral-
lel for some distance separated only by
a narrow stream.

Brakemen’s Peril.
The readers of the GAZETTE will remem-
ber that during the last session of the leg-
islature we called the attention of the mem—
bers to the fearful death rate of brakcmen
on freight trains, who were compelled to
ride on the tops of the cars to operate the
brakes. The matter was brought before
the legislature by a resolution asking the
railroad commissioners to report some
method of relief. In view of the fact that
arrangements had been made to test the
advantages of the air and hand brakes by
a long series of experiments atBurlington,
Iowa, the matter was postponed until the
results of these tests were obtained. These
tests were begun On the 13th inst, and the
results thus far obtained show that the
best air brakes require but about one-half
the time to make a stop that hand brakes
do, and that so far the “Barnes vacuum
brake” has made by far the best showing.
These tests will continue fora long period,
and we have no doubt their report will be
that freight trains shall either be equipped
with air brakes, or that box cars shall have
platforms so that hand brakes can be op-
erated from them instead of from the top
of the cars as now. ’In view of the fact
that the death rate of top-of-car brakemen
is so appalling, it certainly would seem as
if our next legislature, will fail in their
duty if they do not enact laws to prevent
such mode of braking in the near future.

_Appliea Here Too.
As we have said before, and we earnest-
ly say it again, there is no class of men
who do more for the community than the
business men. The men of this class in
New Milford are unusually liberal; they
have done much to build up this commu-
Portchester, N. Y., and Ridgefield, Conn.,
to Danhury. The charter and graded
roadbed of the Ridgefiold and New York
Railroad company in Connecticut, has
been acquired by the projectors of the new
enterprise and an extension of the time
fixed for the completion of that road has
been obtained from the Legislature. The
general contract has been let and work
will be begun during the present month,
with the expectation of having the road
completed and in operation by March of
next year. The cost of building and
equipping the road is estimated at $50,000
per mile. A private syndicate of Boston
and New York wealthy men is taking the
bonds and they will be all sold by August
1. The account says :—
The prime object in building the New
York, Danhury and Boston. railway is to
furnish a feeder to the New York and
New England and Housatonic railroads,
both of which it meets at Danhury. The
present terminus of the New York and
New England road is at Fishkill, and in
order to secure a direct line to New York
is obliged to run its trains over the New
York and New Haven line from Williman-
tic. In this way it only runs eighty-seven
miles on, its' own road-bed and 147 on
that of the New York and New' Haven
road. When the new Danhury road is
built it can run its trains 180 miles on its
own road to Danhury and thus he compell-
ed to pay tribute to an outside company
for a haul of fifty-four miles only to get
into New York. At Bronxdalc the lines
of the New York, Danhury and Boston
and the Suburban Rapid Transit roads
will connect and passengers will he landed
at the 125th street station of the Second
avenue elevated railroad and can go
through to the Battery from the same
platform if they desire it. The facilities
for handling freight will be much the same
as those enjoyed by the New York and
New Haven road, the cars being run upon
boats and barges at the north bank of the
Harlem river and pulled to any of the
piers on the East and North rivers.
The present terminus of the Housatouic
railroad is at Bridgeport. By the new
Danhury route the traveling distance be-
tween this city and Pittsfield, Lciiox,
Great Barrington and other points in the
Berkshire Hills and along the Housatonic
road will be reduced thirty miles.
It is said that the subscribers for the
bonds are to receive a majority of the
stock, and that persons holding large in-
terests in the New York and New England
and Suburban Rapid Transit companies
are the largest subscribers.
“I never saw such a demand for bonds
as there is for these,” said one of the gen-
ilemcp who is activein organizing the new
road, but who refused to allow the use of
his name. “All the capitalists to whom I
have mentioned the scheme are anxious to
have a hand in it and I have received two
offers for the whole issue of bonds.
These were refused because it was thought
that the interest of the road would be best
served by having the bonds and stocks
well distributed. This road will open up
a new and, I believe, a popular line to
Boston. The total distance over it to the
Hub will be 234 miles, the same as the
New York and New Haven route by way
of Springfield. The distance over the
Shore Line is 232 miles and over the Air
Line 220 miles "—Stamlard.

Punish Them.
The Sentinel reprints our article of last
week concerning the ruffianly outrage on
the simple-minded Josephine Hubbell,
who was sent to the Industrial School, and
adds:
Which course lets her assailants off

better to have put her assailants in jail?
We have had too much justice of this kind
in this town, and it is time for a change.
Our firstice courts are not the most credit-
able institutions we have.
That may bc'truc, and it would seem
that the opportunity here presents itself for
“our justice courts” to vindicate
their claim to the title. Here is a girl
brutally, cruelly assaulted; locked in a
barn all night and compelled by force to
submit to the most outrageous indignities;
she tells her story to the authorities, and
—is sent to the Industrial School. J ustifi-
able as this course may be, and warranted
by the girl’s predisposition and surround-
ings, the duties of justice should by no
means have ended here. But apparently

should be drawn like this: That what

others. The ofiiciousness of the officer

the task of working up the case, and the
bungling manner in which he operated,

that he proposed to “see the whole thing

be exercised until other authorities take
the initiative. When Mr. Selleck’s oppor-

do his full duty. Meanwhile it would

The department has not been always
conducted upon the same plan. New
plans have been introduced whenever they
seemed to promise more efficiency in train-
ing the children. As the department in-
creased assistant teachers were added and
given the charge of sections. In these
later years there have been four or five
assistants constantly employed. This has
given the opportunity for more thorough
care in these important early years. The
children have also been arranged in
“bands” and “circles" so ,as to interest
them from the beginning in the various
fields of benevolent work that centre
’round everyChristian church. -
During these twenty-five years more
than 700 pupils have been enrolled—some
of, them for six months or a year only,and
some of them though remaining longer,
still were removed before being old
enough to enter the main school. There
have also been connected with this school,
at different times, tWenty-one assistant
teachers -~ many of them making here their
first attempts at teaching.
Some of the little ones, entering at the
ages of three, four and five years, and
commencing to learn the Bible verses and
stories here, have gone on through the
primary and intermediate departments and
have been transferred to the main school,
and then as the years have passed on have
returned once more to the primary class
as teachers. This is the case‘ with the
five assistants now connected with the
department, while five former assistants
have been transferred 8. second time in
company with the classes of which they
had charge. The arrangements have
seemed to give a large share of unity and
stability to the classes transferred in these
later years.
In the course of the twenty-five years
sixteen sections have been transferred,
making thirty-six classes with an average
of seven members in each, of about the
same age and attainments, and making
250 pupils in all. ‘
The first section entered the main school
in 1865. In 1872 eleven of those who had
been transferred in the intervening time
united with the church; including these
there have been 100 who have united with
this church from the transferred primaries
up to the present time, while many have
thus openly acknowledged Christ in other
places.
There is One other item of these twenty-
fivc years to notice. Of the hundreds of
children whose names have been on the
roll only ten have died while members of
the primary department and including
those who have been transferred, ' and of
those remaining in town only twenty in
all have gone to the “upper fold.”
There are about seventy of our gradu-
ates now connected with thc main school.
The primary department itself numbers
eighty-two pupils, six teachers and a
librarian. X.

The colonel was a great southern Union
man of the ultra school and a great ad-
mirer of Grant. He at once wheeled about
and, with uplifted hands, hair bristling
