’ Important Railroad consolidation.
As stated in the Gazer-rs of last week,
the stockholders of "the Danbury &. Nor-
walk and the Housatonic Railroads met
on Wednesday and confirmed the action
of their respective, ’ boards of Directors in
the lease Of the former road and its prop.
erties to the Housatonic '- for the term of
- - ninety-nine years. This consolidation,
important as it readily appears and ben-
eficial as-ltmust prove to all the interests
,_ concerned, and especiallyso to the owners
. of the Danbury & Norwalk road, is far
: moro‘irl'lportantin the evident purpose it
"‘invOlyes of makingNorwalk the terminal
point Ofa great passenger and vast freight
, business, The immediate changes will
consistvof the running 'Of-' all through
trains to and from New York to the upper
Housatonic, tip the Danbury to the junc-
tion at Brookfleld, insteadof to Bridge-
. port as hitherto,'whiie the Housatonic's
heavy freight business will be sent down
to Wilson's Point for shipment to New
York. I! is understood that the leases of.
the large dock privileges now used by the
Housatouic at: Bridgeport, will soon ex.
plre, and are not likely to be renewed.
”The 1reason is obvious. Wilson's Paint
‘furnlshes thclbcst landlocked winter liar-:
bor, . anywnero between New. York and
New London. Vessels of all sizes, can
enter and depart from it in winter without
obstruction from ice, whenever they can
pass through the Narrows.
Thus much for the Housatonic’s present"
large and constantly growing freight busi-
ness. But theseintercstsdmportént as they
are, are trivial in comparison to the great.
er railroad connections and combinations .
in contemplation. It is understood that ‘a j
syndicate owning Or controlling the entire ‘
line of railways from Pittsfield, where-the .
Housatonic terminates, to Mont/real, meat
the bottom of this Consolidation and that
the purpose’is to make an air line railway
from Montreal down through Vermont, to
the Housatonic and thence by the Danbury
6‘}. Norwalk and the Consolidated, into New
York city. These lines pass south from
Montreal through-Odie, important cities of
St. Johns, Canada, St. Albans, Burlington,
Montpelier, Ruiland and Beunington, Vt.,
to North? Adams and Pittsfield in Massa—
chusetts. This Canadian and Vermont
syndicate is the same, we are informed,
that has had the route surveyed from Port
Chester to Danbury and which has for so'
long a time had in contemplation the con-
struction of a railroad over this line. But
the fact was developed that this Port
Chester line could be mildebut five miles
shorter than via. the Danbury, while the
heavier grades would permit trains from-
New York to Danbury by our little road to
make the distance betweenjhe two points
‘11 shorter time than over the Port Chester
route, if such road were built. Then the
great cost of its construction, consequent
upon the heavy cuts and fills. made this
line practically not a feasible one.
That our little road will have to be
double tracked to accommodate the busi-
ness thus expected to press upon it, is an- '
other assured fact. :Of course it is too
early to prognosticatc the extent to which
this enterprise is sure to advance the bus-
iness interests and commercial prosperity
of Norwalk, but that it must wonderfully
increase our growth and promote our
local business interests is inevitable. The
scheme has been most cautiously guarded
from premature publicity and most wisely
managed for all the parties in interest, by
Presidents men and Locxwoon and
their respective? Boards of Directors.
An immensely better day’s work was
done for Norwalk, last - Wednesday, than
could have been the winning of the Court
House prize.

Pioneer truck house. The solicitors re-
ported the 'total amount subscribed to

Mcthodlstchurch at Ridgeficld. He is in
the best sense (if the term, a modest
Christiaii gentleman, without cant or
illlberalsectarlanism. He sincerely bellves
the drinking customs of society to be de-
plorable evils, and so believing, no wines
or other intoxicants were ever seen on his
hospitable table, and his own example is
that of a. total abstainer from all that can
intOxicate. He has been successful in
business, a natural result of his masterly
activity and intelligence, but his wealth is
ever unostentatlously used to aid the des-
titute, the unfortunate, and every good
cause. '
He possesses ina marked degree, many
of the prominent personal and business
traits of Connecticut's lamented war gov-
ernor, Will. A .Buoxmoussi; he is better
known throughout the state than was

ination, and if elected, Lonxsnnnr's ad-
ministration will bc as wise, as pure, as
successful and popular as BUCKINGHAM’S.

Random Ramblings.
BY ROSIE ROWE, OUR RAMBLING BAMBIER.
My esteemed friend, the Standard’s cili-
cient Norwalk correspondent, sags I
dodged the issue in my recent “rambling”
suggested by her essay on the morale of
the drama. Well, we women have always
been accredited with a proverbial propen-
sity for dodging issues. It is one of the
distinguishing characteristics of our sex;
one of the very few of woman's irrevoca-
ble rights. And it rejoices me to observe
that my friendhersclf is not behind me in
her fidelity to this wOmdnly instinct. She
writes:
“If our rambling friend will be kind
, enough to show us just how our language
conve 8 any opinion that such plays
shoul be consigned to oblivion we will
amend it; but still the point we would
emphasize remains unrefuted, that they
are injurious to children and young school
girls." ‘
An original conception surely of consist-
ency in moral ethics. My friend does her-
self injustice in expressing her unwilling—
ness to “consign to oblivion” what she
emphaticallyasserts ls “injurious to child-
ren and school girls.” Whatever exerts a
pernicious influence over children and
school girls should come in for her un-
qualified disapproval. Be that as it may,
the question-of pernicious influence of the
drama as Norwalk sees it is of little or no
consequence compared to the influence
that seems to permeate our agricultural
fair. The amount of drunkenness on the
fair grounds and about town during the
exhibition last week was positively shock-
ing. And the most painful feature of all
was the fact that a large percentage of the
drunkenness was among young boys. On
the grounds last Friday afternoon, my sis-
ter’s husband counted within an hour, no
less than thirty—one boys between the ages
of 13 and 20 years, staggering under the
influence of liquor. What then, has be-
come of the boasted healthy moral influ-
ence of' these exhibitions? What did the
announcement of the managers mean, on
their flaring posters, that no intoxicating
drinks would be allowed on the grounds ?
It was a common by-word that there was
plenty of whiskey sold from a soda foun-
taln not far from the grand stand, to
whomsoever could produce the requisite
ten cents, regardless of age, sex or color.
Besides this, other sources of lubrication
were said to be plentiful, but not so easily
accessible to the “common herd.”
at! It I!
Another sweet morsel for the gossips,
who are chewing it with gusto. A certain
engagement is “off," and Mrs. Grundy’s
jtheorles are afloat, but contradictory as
usual. The bride that was to have been,
party of the first part, has sued, or is go-
ing to sue the groom that should haw
been, party of the second part, for $3,000,
for breach of promise. Again, the bride
ex-prospeetive, broke off the engagement
because she was averse to the idea of
lliving‘with her cx-prospectlve parents-in-
"law. And so forth. The probability is
that neither one of these volunteer reports
is correct. It i: also probable that
nobody but the couple themselves know
very much about it. It is, further-
more, extremely probable that it is
nobody clse’s business. This latter fact,
however, will have no weight with Mrs.
Grundy. It is that which concerns her
least, that she knows most about. And
her name is legion.

- Thursday evening of last week the sal-
vation army, in South Norwalk, came out
fora parade, with banners flying, comets
and fish horns braylng in distressing dis-
cord, and drums and tambourines and
cymbals clashing and clangiug inharmoni-
ously. This was the first parade since
It
' the mayor revoked their parading license
a. few weeks before on complaints of citi—
zens. Thcyhad applied, before marching
forth, for a privilege to parade, but were
refused, whereupon they started out to
make their noise “whether or no." They
marched from their barracks to the post
office square, and had started to return,
singing “We're marching home to man-
sionsin the skies,” when the chief of
police loomed up before them and said be
guessed he’d have to ask them to stop
over on their march home to mansions in
Keller& Co. Neither is it claiming too
much to say that but for the efforts of
Norwalk parties, as exhibitors and helpers,
the fair here would be an utter failure.
Take the last exhibition as a sample.
What would have been the condition of
Exhibition Hall last week, for instance,
with the attractive exhibits of Comstock
Bros., A. H. Hoyt, DeKlyn, Glover &
Olsen, Elis, Dunn, Holmes & Keclcr,
chkerman, Blackman, Raymond Bro.,
Merritt, Ambler 8'. Sammis, Lockwood dz
Aiken and others left out? Consider the-
extent and quality of Norwalk’s share in
the fruits, floral and ladies‘ industrial and
fine art departments. Others, it is true,
did themselves marked credit in Exhibition
Hall, notably the New Canaan Farmers
Club and W. D. Hall 8.5 Co. and D. M-
Reed, of Bridgeport. Nevertheless the
Norwalk interest in the exhibition, as it
rightfully should. saved it from derision.
The fast horse element was the pre-
domlnent feature outside, and experts say
was the best exhibit ever made on the
county fair track. The show of horses,
colts, cattle, sheep and swine, was rather
slim. The prompt and heroic action of
Brooks, the driver of Ben Butler, in the
2:45 race of Saturday, in jumping from
' his sulky to the horse’s back and guiding
him by the check rein, after his driving
rein had broken, and thus preventing a
serious and probably fatal accident,
should have won for Brooks a pension or
special premium.
The Wheeler do Wilson Band furnished
good music, as it always does; the Governor
and his Staff, supplemented by the spruce
fair officers, our fine looking borough
chiefs, and Compullies D and F of the
Connecticut National Guard, made attrac—
tive features, but even all these couldn’t
keep the crowd from rushing off after the
race horses.
The attendance was below some previ-
ous years, yet in net receipts, and as an
entire exhibition, the fair was probably an
average success.

Sulphur for Saving Trees. '
A letter from the New York daily
Tribune on the “Habits of the Elm Tree
Pests” has this conclusion: '
I have been informed by the oiliccr
commanding at Fort Schuyler that the
elm trees at West Point and at his own
post have been freed from worms by
simply pluggln, the trees with sulphur.
An auger hole mm a quarter of an inch to
an inch in diameter, according to the size
of the tree, is bored to the depth of a. few
inches, filled with sulphur and closed with
wax. If this very simple remedy is really
edective it ought to be generally known.
Has any reader of the Tribune made the
experiment? 0. B. B. -
Tltrogg’s Neck, N. Y., Aug. 31, ’86.
It is stated by the agents of the Cook
Oil Trough Tree Protector, now at work
in Norwalk, that the Hon. Phineas C.
Lounsbury, republican candidate for gov-
ernor, has paid them $750 for protecting
his trees in Ridgcfield. If sulphur will
protect let us know it.
Rev. 8. B. S. Blssell, Mrs. Jas. Mallory,
Munich and Miss J ul'la Lockwood have
adopted the oil trough system, and the
borough authorities have also had it tried
on the Park elms. The elms at the Epis-
copal Rectory are also to be treated the
same way.
______.,.__
Not Satisfied. -
Now that Bridgeport has gotten the
court house, it wants our little county fair
moved right over there! Do they want
the earth? And didn’t the court house
cost them enough? Well, if Bridgeport
must have our "little ewe lamb” also, why
take it along, and move the reconstructed
Houstonie car works and repair shops
right on to the vacated fair grounds.
