Sewerage.
Our borough board of ofiicials, with Dr.
Gregory at the head, have started out to
make the proper surveys and drawings
for a complete system of sewerage. They
have been urged to this by the deplorable
sanitary conditions of our village and by
the State board of health, who pronounce
our duty in this respect to be imperative.
There can be no doubt but 'that we
should have been infinitely better off in a
sanitary view, if our so highly prized pub-
lic water had never been introduced, but
being here and flowing millions of gallons
of Water .to; exhale into the air or soak
away into the earth and carrying contami-
nation with it, it renders the situation an
alarming one. Experts will be employed
to devise the beat and 1 most economical
methods of drainage, after the levels of
our various highways are ascertained, and
all work done will be to one general end
in harmony with the completed system
decided upon. Plans and specifications
are expected to be in readiness to submit
to a meeting of the tax payers of the her-
ough within the next six'weeks or two
months. In the present condition of the
money markets, our borough bonds to run
say 30 years, could easily be placed at
three per cent. annual, interest and in view
also of the low cost of labor and materi-
als, this would seem to be' a most advan-
tageous time toexecute the much needed
work, were no consideration of lifeand
public health involved. A thorough and
efficient system of sewerage constructed
on a plan for all future needs, to be paid
for with such low interest bearing bonds
and managed by honest, competent and
responsible parties, would no doubt com-
mand as hearty approval, as dubious and
illconceived schemes have hitherto been
opposed and denounced by our tax paying
citizens. There is a great public need of
an efficient and thorough system of sew-
erage involved in the matter of the public
health and the lives of our citizens, and
“if ’twere done, then ’twere well it were
done quickly." ‘ -

ANOTHER TIOKETIN THE FIELD!
K. of L. in Connecticut Politico
An official circular [issued by District
Assembly 113, Knights of Labor,- of South
Norwalk, was sent out over the state last
week which shows conclusively that the
political movement among organised labor
in Connecticut is rapidly spreading. The
gist of the circular is asfollov'vs:
To all Local 21mm, 'iC’ontraZ' Labor
Unions, Trades Macao, and Trades
Unions of Connecticut: ' ' .
Because: The humiliating rejection in
the last session of the legislature of every
law introduced for the benefit of the _work-
ing classes of this state, is conv1nclhg
proof that the time has arrived when the
workingmen must act for themselves and
act in concert. D. A. 113, K. of 13., has
resolved as follows: “That an appeal he
issued to all the local assemblies under our
jurisdiction, 'as well as to D. A. _95,_ and to
all other trade and labor organizations of
Connecticut, with a view of calling at an
early date a convention to be held in Hart-
ford early inSe tember, in orderto secure
at the coming e ection such intelligent and
e
harmonious action as wrll insure to the
workiugmen of this state proper repre.
sentation in the legislature, and the pass-
age of laws for the protection of their
ri hts and betterment of their condition.
Pfease read this at your next meeting, and
take such action astin your wisdom, you
may deem proper. '; . .
A secret conference of leading Knights
from different parts of the state was called
to meet at New Haven Saturday evening,
at which some fifty were reported to have
been present, representing" trades unions
and the Knights of Labor assemblies of that
congressional district. The report is that
the sentiment'was strongly in favor of
calling a congressional and state conven-
tion and putting an independent labor
ticket in the field. No conclusion was
reached, however, and another conference
will be called, it is stated.
However much the two older parties
may regret this political actionlon the part
of the Knights, no one can justly say
them nay, in view of the notorious fact
that great corporations seek by every
means in their power to secure the nomi-
nation and election of men to our legisla-
tures and to congress, who are known to
he champions of their interests,,and sure-
ly the representatives of the brawn and
labor of the country have an equally valid
right to combine at the polls for mutual
protection to their personal interests.
With four tickets in the field, this fall, our
state election bids fair to be at least some-
what exhilarating ahd interesting, and
may the right prevail. '

Mr. Lewis 0. Wilson, who was born
the same year the old Gaznr'ra was
launched on “life’s troubled sea,” viz.:
1800—is a guest at the Dorlorn House.
He was born on the 6th day of Jan., 1800,
which gives the 19th century just five days
the start of him, and he says he has been
trying to catch up and get even with it
ever since, but thus for he is sorry'to have
to admit that he has never been able to
“get there.” .
Hon. E.H. Carmick, of Philadelphia, an
old friend and but a little Mr. Wilson’s
junior, is a fellow boarder with him. In
the early years of 'the present century both
were prominent and wealthy merchants
in New York and now in life's genial aft-
ernoon, both are halo and hearty and en-
joy one of Dorlan’s shore dinners and tell

both continue as warm, and genial till the
sun of their earthly existence sinks behind

Orr COTTAGE Crrr, August 11, ’86.
Dean ‘Gazamz—Our hard night of
Saturday was spent in the doleful sense of
being doubly at sea—it was above and
below us—with drenching rain and a
tossing ocean; just the kind to give “long-
shorc-men" a chance to put on sea legs,
as well as to cast up any accounts that
had been neglected before. Our singers
wanted to sing
“Bounding blllows cease thy (hucc l) motion,”
but the singing could not be had to the
accompaniment of wind whistling through
the cordage, the incessant “thunk” of the
rudder-post, the never-ceasing “chug" of
the waves under the bows, and the pitch
and roll (combined) of the schooner. Our
right bower was down and the men were
relieved when they heard of it, for in
'parties of four they had discussed the
strength of that. So we rode out the
night,.a‘ud welcomed back our absent
eleven in the morning. to be comforted as
they told us they had been worse alarmed
in the hotels of Cottage City as they
trembled and creaked under the fearful
No'th-Easter. Meeker, Keeler and Dr.
Brownson had come across from New
Redford—they had been detained on busi-
ness—in the steamer, and she had lost her
head in the gale, been driven into ,a huge
iron buoy, crashed in her bulwarks, and
seemed to_ be parting, and at last had been
landed at Cottage City only after several
attempts, which had held them in half an
hour’s added suspense lest she should be
wrecked upon the pier!
There being no services at Vineyard
Haven on Sunday quite a number of us
attended service at Cottage City in the
Union chapel and tabernacle, walking
over for the purpose in the forenoon, the
distance being only a mile and a half each
way. In the evening we bad service for
the Neptunes in the Union chapel, and
with an audience that, even with notice
given only in the afternoon, filled the ca-
pacious house. The chaplain of the club
preached. He is invited to conduct ser-
vice next Sunday both by the directors of
tabernacle and chapel. '
On Monday morning we tripped anchor
and came ’round East Chop to this place,
where, on that day, we held our annual
reception during the afternoon. Some
two hundred were on board, keeping our
tender busy in bringing them to and from
the vessel. The below decks attracted
marked attention from the unique and
beautiful appearance of the bunks, the
neat and orderly way of doing things, and,
as well, the tables loaded with cakes and
confections, and the huge tank of lemon-
ade, (no picnic stuff), presided over by
Dave, and constantly replenished by Pete
and the two Charlies. There were one
hundred and thirty-one nnmcs recorded
on our registry, and among them some of
the first people in the land. Songs, ducts
and choruses were sung by a couple of
young ladies from Richmond, Va., and
by members of our club; Colonel Hays,
of Washington, D. 0., gave some fine
readings, and all went as merry as 2. mar-
_ riagc bell till evening, when all the vessel
was ablaze with fireworks, lighting up
her graceful hull and the flags which
were from deck to topmost. I am sure
that never had the Neptunes a more suc-
cessful reception and with fewer draw-
backs than on Monday, and yet no invita-
tion was issued till we dropped anchor at
'7 o’clock on Monday morning.
On Tuesday at 8:30 a. m. we weighed
anchor and sailed for Edgartown, whither
had gone, on Monday, Messrs. Bissell and
Olmstead to arrange for boats needed for
our annual fishing. We found that the Ed-
gartowncrs had played a snap game on us,
and demanded a high price for their boats
on the plea that a blue-fish was worth a
dollar, (as if we could hope to catch one,
or there’were any to be caught except ill
seine—the idea was insane). But one
boat was ready, and that owned by the
captain, who had vainly promised to sup.
ply the other three that We needed. But
who shall be foolish enough to suppose
an Edghrtowu fisherman can get ahead
of the Ncps! Not nzuchl We found a
Block Island schooner and hier it at loss
rates than would, anyhow, have been paid
for the three boycotting boats; and -five
of us taking the whale-boat of the true
captaiu:started for the day of toil. Bissell,
Olmstead, Dr. Brownson, the bright lad
Bristol, who is with us, and your corres-
pondent went out in the yawl, and fifteen
in the schooner. The haul of the day
was 149, of which 48 was caught on our
boat—-—so the schooner won with 101.
Pinney kept two men baiting and pulling
off fish. “Bait! I want bait! Some-
body bait my hookl It’s Pinney wants it 1”
Oh, how he did call. He caught two at a
time on his hooks three times, and hauled
upashark, though he didn’t land him.
He was insane in his awful ons.augllt.
No one thought of Onset Bay after his
onset upon the son! He caught every-
thiug'from a sculpin to a sea spider, but
mostly soup and black-fish. It was a
scaly trick of his in revenge to Edgar-
town, and the skipper at last furled sail
to keep dependent Edgartowncrs from
starving because no fish were left. Yet
the ungrateful people of that town, that
has such antique and strange “epithets"
on the stones in its grave-yard, would not
let the poor captain of the recusant
schooner have his load of clams to take
away. Pinney is slow, but -——.
Fishl why some, of the black bass
caught were enormous. But the fish that
were just hauled up far enough to be seen
and then slipped off the books were phe-
nomnal. Some of them—most of them-—
must have been as long as the schooner.
Maybe some of them were longer yet.
But they were smaller than the eyes of
the narrators. Allthathnppened on the
schooner. ,
, The incoming steamer drove our
“Housman" from its dock, and we of the
yawl got in just in time to run up along-
side the out-going vessel and be hauled
aboard with our bushel basket heaped
with fish. Supper—maybe not! We had
“fishior supper, fish for breakfast, and
fish for dinner." Fish was sung to the
tune of Greenville and yet not a green
villian aboard.
This morning we were going to Nan-
tucket, but a heavy fog settled down out-
side and everything was running for
shelter. All day it has been blowing a
gale, though the sun has come out warm
and bright. Some are‘ashorc but many
stay aboard.
The famous yachts are constantly com-
ing and going. We saw the “Galatea” go
by under main and topsail, jib and jib-top-
sail, and now the British clipper yacht
“Stranger” lies almost within a biscuit.
throw of us. The schooner “Priscilla”
passed us yesterday, andthc boys gave
her a gun and a cheer, which she return-
ed, forgetting the real “Priscilla” is a
sloop. The hearty laugh from both
schooners shOWed that both had “caught
on."
I am sure we are having a rare good
time, and all are well and happy. We
have had very little sea sickness and no
sickness besides. Today we are happy
in getting copies of the Gamma, which
are grecdlly welcomed by all on board.

Dean Gamma—The trip to Nantucket
' was taken on Thursday and Friday by the
larger portion of our club, and in our
schooner under the command of Secretary
Olmsteud. The day was matchless, and a
sou'-west wind was just in our favor.
The sail was as delightful as the day, and

was very speedily made. When near the
Bell buoy we ran up our flag for a pilot
and soon a boat came along side with the
shout “Haul down your colors and heave-
to." This was done and a burly man
came on board and took the helm.
another pilot boat hove in sight and our
pilot, with signs of trepidation, said:
“Tell him it is all right, and that I was on
the ground.” Then we learned that he
was out of commission and a “transient,"
and that the man who was coming was a
regular pilot. But welet him stay and he
seemed to know his business. He took
us safely into port, and when we got
ashore the two had it out in words that
were windy and loud, with a liberal
sprinkling of Billingsgatc. We left them
to attend to their own quarrel, and, after
visiting the museum, took the wobbly and
narrow guagc railroad, over hill and vale
for ’Sconset. Such a road ! But for its
opposite, such a place as we reached after
an hour of jerking ride.
’Sconset is a place by itself, probably,
in the world. The little cottages (huts
they used to be) are stuck down in every
conceivable place, and of every imaginable
shape, [and no shape at all. Each one
seems to have been built at odd times and
oddly enough, and the streets are little
lanes. I measured “Warren street" and
it was sixteen paces long and three paces
wide. They are paved with sand to the
depth of six inches or so. The sidewalks
must have been crowded into the cottages
for they were out of sight, and we didn't
walk on them. The old town pump in the
center of the village we drank from and
the water was good. Iremcmber that old
Billy Baxter, who used to drive the stage
from Nantucket to 'Sconset years ago, and
who was phenomenal in his Munchausen
ability, told me once that it was dug in
1492, and if you consider how old the
water is you might believe him. Some of
the houses are marked as having been
built in sixteen hundred and something;
but Billy Baxter lives there and might
have been a neighbor to the one who dated
the houses and caught it from him as if it
had been small pox. The only lie that
Baxter never was guilty of, and that the
people would be glad to hear, was lying
in his grave; but there is nothing grave
about him even yet, and he is very old.
He is only equalled by one of our help-
ers on board, who, as I write, is saying
to the colored boys, “The Atlantic ocean
is out to sea, and begins at Tucklc Island,
down by the Gulf Stream, when the Lecific
ocean comes in, and that makes Cape
Hatteras so kind 0’ rough, for they kinder
clashes and makes a reaction 1" The
colored servants revere him as a geogra-
pher. --
At ’Sconsct we met Rev. Dr. Taylor,
former pastor of the Baptist church at
South Norwalk, and at one time chaplain
of the Neptune club, but now president
of Vassar college. It was a jolly meeting
of the veteran Neps, and was aided by the
presence of our Captain Taylor, of South
Norwalk. We sat on the veranda of Dr.
Taylor, and lived over the old days of
Neptune cruises.
In the evening we were again on board,
and after songs by our quartettc and
chorus, which gathered large crowds of
ladies and gentlemen on piers and yachts
and in small boats, we gave a rare display
of fireworks which were answered by red
and blue lights from the yachts. If we
didn’t paint the town red we did the bar-
bor, and our booming cannon echoed
from the town. The night was exquisite;
smooth and clear was the sea, as was the
sky, and the silver stream was only broken
into glittering diamonds by the dipping
cars of the pleasure boats that were al
about us, and whose gay occupants of
ladies and gentlemen applauded us with
both hands and voices. It was a night
long to be remembered by the Neptunes.
In the morning we weighed anchor and
our sailing master, Capt. Lee, of Winstcd,
who is “a sailor every inch," brought us
out of harbor with never a pilot. We had
had enough of their vulgar slang. The
wind had veered and now gave us a
“wing-a-wing” breeze that made our sail
back to Cottage City a very poem.
Yesterday was our second fishing day,
and at the same time those who did not
want to fish were to take a sail in our
schooner with invited guests. Messrs.
Bissell, Thompson, (South Norwalk), Dr.
Brownson, Seymour, Dr. Many and the
chaplain made up the party for the cat-
boat, to fish. Dr. Brownson caught the
first fish. and then the next and the next.
The chaplain caught a skate (slippery as
ice), and then Dr. Many caught a shale,
and the chaplain hauled in a crab and a
sea-weed, and the crab skuttlcd off side-
waysamong the rocks of ballast; then Mr.
Bissell took in a sea robin, and we stop-
ped monkeying about such foolery and
settled down to business. The chaplain
caught two at once (one on each book),
and Mr. Bissell, not to be outdone by his
pastor, did the same thing. On that we
fell to our work, and in three-quarters of
an hour we had taken forty-five black-
fish and porgics and one dc‘cp-sca flounder.
The tide turned so that we could fish no
more, and we realized that the thunder
was rolling, and so were we far out at sea
and ten miles beyond Poque’s Light, and
with a squall in every cumulus cloud.
Our gallant little boat plunged into the
waves and we seemed to be keeping up
with it, for the waves plunged into us.
How it did rain and how our clothes did
take it in. Dry as salt water will make a
man, the combined salt and fresh water
didn’t make us dry. We were under a
double reef, but our boat took each wave
as if shot out of a catapult, and it was
only a eat-boat. But we got in and our
diet has been fish since—but it is good,
as, for the matter of that, is all our cuisine.
The only place we have lacked was on
that fishing cruiscfor we started without
any breakfast, and had a slim lunch, as
the steward wasn't up. But Taylor is a
a rare cook and the commissary is a
splendid provider.
Meantime the vessel took on its lead of
guests, some 50 in number, and started _

for a sail to be caught in the some storm
and thoroughly wet. But that was no-
thing to Mr. Keeler who, in getting the
guests ashore, was struck by a boom and
keelcd overboard with all his best clothes
on. We didn’t care so only he was saved,
but that was no credit to the rest of us
for a very fat man was pitched overboard
at the same time and he floated soKeeler
clung to him for a buoy—ah! but that is
what I call “a good boy.”
This morning we bad service in the
Tabernacle, and our chaplain preached to
a very large concourse—the Neptunes at-
tending in a body and with seats reserved.
We sail at midnight to.night, and hope
to reach home at latest by Tuesday morn-
ing, and I send this letter on Sunday, as,
having no time to write it before, I must
get it into the mail this evening that we
may read it in the Gazm'rc when we
arrive. B. a.
