OBITUARY.

Miss Louise Prowitt, and daughter of II.
M. Prowitt, Esq.,) though not entirely un-
expected, removes from us one who was
always II favorite in all the circles wherein
she moved, and adds another to the long
list of the young and middle aged, who
have recently been “called hence" from
among us, and augments the burden of
sorrow so heavily weighing down the
hearts of bereaved ones in so many quar-
ters. Mrs. H was a most estimable and
lovcable character and her death leavesan
aching void in many hearts, besides those
of child, parents, brothers and other role
lives. How truly do “the good die first,”
and how heavily is the air laden with
“farewells for the dying.”

 

 

Fatal Accident.
Mr. Wm. E. Quintard, on his return
from Derby last Tuesday, boarded at
Bridgeport the 9.06 p. in. express train,
expecting to get off at South Norwalk.
The train was a through express, making
no stop at this station, and slacking its
speed toa rate but a little slower than
regular running time, notwithstanding a
city ordinance requires limited trains to
go through South Norwalk at a speed not
to exceed ten miles an hour. As the
train whizzcd past the depot Mr. Quin-
turd got down on the lowest step on the
forward end of the rear car, bade a friend
good-bye who was on the train, and who
endeavored to dissuade him from jump-
ing, and with the confident remark that
he had often jumped from the same train
before, sprang off onto the depot platform
and fell under the car, the last truck pass-
ing over him. He was picked up just
before losing consciousness, carried ten-
derly into the baggage room where he
died in about tiiree4quarters of an hour.
The news of the distressing eventspread
like wildfire, and soon the depot was
crowded with a throng of excited people
from both ends of the town. The only
topic of conversation on the street corners
and in every store and household, was
the fatal accident, and the number and
variations of the details of the affair
were confusing, and in many cases largely
imaginative.
The funeral was attended at the late
residence of the deceased on Main street,
Friday afternoon, Rev. Edward Anderson
officiating, and Rev. S. B. S. Bissell dc.
livcring the address. Our Brothers’ -
Lodge, Odd Fellows, of which deceased
was a member, attended in a body, and a
large delegation of his comrades of Old
Well hook and ladder company was also
in attendance. The number of mourning
friends from far and near was very large
and attested the high esteem in which the
deceased was held abroad as well as at
his home.
Mr. Quintard was in his 38th year, and,

A boy in Sharon shot and killed his
brother a few days ago with a pistol that
“wasn’t loaded.” The only objection we
can find to these idiots fooling with empty
weapons is, they generally have the muz-
zle pointed away from their own heads.

It seems to be cencecdcd that the dem-
cratic nomination for senator will again
fall upbn the Hon. Asa Smith. Well, he
deserves this of his party, although it is
our painful duty to announce his defeat
by our candidate E. J. Hill, thus early in
advance.

The fatal accident at South Nor-walk
last week should awake the city authori—
tics and especially the Railroad Cominis
sioners to the notorious and coustant'vio-
lation of the law in running through ex-
press trains past the South Norwalk depot
at an illegally high rate of speed.

ment is crowded out‘ this week but will

The telephone business is in no very de-
pressed statc. The report of the Bell
company shows that in September, 1886,
the number of telephones in use increased
1,514; in the same month of 1885 it de-
creased 1.051. The gain, therefore, is
2,665 for the month. For the year to Oc-
tober 1st the telephone “out put" was 18,-
616, an increase of 14.643 over 1885. And
yet the Telephone company threatens to
raise their rates in Norwalk. They make
a serious financial mistake,though we pro-
umc it may be beyond the local company’s
ontrol as it has to pay the parent com-
pany a $20 license for every instrument it
issues.

The Women‘s Christian Temperance

Gm

sion at Scranton last week, adopted a res-

choose. Few men understand children

many women are sympathetic and keen

in more ways than one when good women
are on every school board and take an ac-
tive interest in the work.

The suit of F. M. Knapp against The
Connecticut State Fireman’s Association
brought to re00ver the amount of money
provided by the state for firemen injured
in the discharge of their duty was tried
before Judge Austin, last Wednesday,
and resulted in a decision rendered Satur-
day in favor of Mr. Knapp. The asso-
ciation claimed that Mr. Knapp was not
entitled to the benefit of the fund because
he had not paid dues to it as assistant on-
gineer. Mr. Knapp claimed that he was
entitled as an active member of Old Well
hook and ladder company, and that the
association had no authority in law for
making membership of the association and
requiring the payment of fees to it a con-
dition of receiving the benefits the state
had provided. Russell Frost' appeared
for Mr. Knapp and A. Heatou Robinson
of New Haven for the association. '

The democratic gubernatorial nominee
is accredited with having lost his head, so
to speak, at the polls Monday. It is said
that he voted the general ticket, and de-
liberately skipped the license issue. After
he had passed down the steps of the Halls
of Record, an observing supporter but-
ton-holed the nominee, insisting, “That
won’t do, Mr. Cleveland; six good demo-
crats have just sworn that they will never
vote for a man who dodges the license
question.” There was an interval of lies-
itation, of evident self communion, and
the nominee returned to the polling place
with a “License” ballot in his hand. But
the moderator held that Mr. Cleveland
had voted, and that no ballot could be de-
posited by the voter whose namc had
once been checked on the list. But good
democrats cannot forget that their candi-
date for governor wouldn’t even attempt
to vote on the liquor question 'until he

South Nor-walk Notes.
Father Bailey did not appear at the
Music Hall temperance meeting on Sun-.
day, and the time was chiefly occupied
with addresses from the lesser lights of
the democratic annex., It was announced
that the next address would be by a
“Crank." .
It is evident that some of the local city
editors have been more than usually in-
terested in “searching the scriptures.”
They have found passages which seem to
suit the occasion, and are flinging them
at one another with great vigor.
Candidates for representative in the
next general assembly have been mention-
ed for the south end of the town, and it is
evident the most popular man should be
selected. We would suggest the names
of Councilman Hallock or F. A. Tolles,
whose popularity was abundantly shown at
the late town and city election. x.

Emancipation Day.

Last Wednesday was a great day for
our colored brethren. They celebrated
with becoming festivities and exercises
the 23d anniversary of “Emancipation
Day.” The colored people from all the
region ’round about were here early in
the day, in holiday attire, and some very
striking and overpowering displays of
fashion, in color and design, were exhib-
ited. They spent the early part of the day
in visiting and promenading our beauti-
ful town, both on foot and in coaches. In
the afternoon they held a meeting in the
Opera House, and diseased matters apper-
taining to their organization—“The Charles
Sumner Lcague”——and talked politics,
speakers from abroad and local orators
contributing to the general fund of ideas
and information.

In the evening Wheeler do Wilson’s band

of Bridgeport, played a number of lively
and inspiring airs in front of the Opera
llouse, and when the hall was well filled
they went inside and took the gallery
where they discoursed some lively negro
medodi'es’suitnblc to the occasion, which
were enthusiastically applauded by the
audience, both white and colored. The
speaker of the evening was the Hon.
John M. Langston of Washington, D. 0.,
late U. S. Minister to Hayti,‘ who gave a
scholarly, able and powerful address, on
the conditions, opportunities, duties and
possibilities of the colored race in America;
dwelt long and eloquently on the glory of
American citizenship; culogized the great
leaders of the anti-slavery movement, and
spoke with force and impressivencss of
the sanctity of the ballot and admonished
his hearers to beware of the heinous crime
of selling their votes.
At the close a collection was taken up
to pay the band, and the meeting adjourn-
ek to Lockwood’s Hall, where a grand

The Rule Brother: Peach Orchard In Glas-
tonbury.
The Hole Brothers of Glastonbury, who
are so energetic and successful in the cul-
tivation of fruits, have been for several
years setting out and cultivating peach
trees, and they have now about twelve
thousand trees. They stand the trials of
this climate fairly well. Mr. Hale, who
does not believe the yellows to be either
incurable or contagious, says that not over
5 per cent. of the trees die of that disease.
The low thermometer is their greatest
danger, and if they grow new wood late
in the season and so are tender, they are
very liable to sufler from severe cold.
Last winter, on the night of January 9th,
the thermometer fell to 17 degrees below
zero or worse, and some of the trees re-
ceived fatal injuries, but not enough to
reduce the orchard materially. It was
supposed that all buds would be killed at
that low point, but instead, the trees blos-
somed fairly this spring and the Messrs.
Hale will pick and market several hundred
baskets, worth $4 or so per bushel. For
an off year, and after three had years, this
seems to be :at least encouraging. The
Hales think they have already demonstra-

lagc which stills clings to it.

The Kind ofia. Man no to.

Rev. George Lansing Taylor of Bruck-
lyn, a man of national reputation, in_ a
letter published in the “ The Light" (Ohio)
speaks of the republican nominee for gov-
ernor of Connecticut as follows : “ A tem-
porance man, a recent parishionerpf mine
who was my mainstay in building the
Jesse Lee Memorial church in Ridgefield,
one of the most beautiful country churches
in New England. Mr. L. is a man whom
temperance men can vote for With confi-
dence.” .

Oh, yes, everyfriend of temperance can
vote for him with confidence, and unless
we greatly mistake a great many “ prohi
bitionists” can and will vote for him also.
