Our New Serial Story.
We commence on our to-day’s outside
the thrilling war story, “The Red Acorn”,
by John McElroy, author of “Anderson-
ville" and other popular and exciting war
stories. The story was written for the
“National Tribune” Co. of Washington,
and by them copyrighted and sold to the
American Press Association of New York,
from whom it was purchased by the GA-
zarrs. We can assure our readers that it
will well repay them to begin with to-
day’s issue, and if they do, there is no
danger Of theirenot keeping up with the
serial, which will take several weeks to fin-
ish.

Russel Sage pushing the Short Line to
Boston.
It is reported that Russel Sage has
taken up thc'idea ofafour and a half
hour line between New York and Boston
by means of a connection of the NewYork
and New England railroad with the New
York City and Northern. He controls
the latter and is said to have quietly
bought control of the former road and to
have secured $25,000,000 European capi-
tal for the connecting link from Williman-
tic to the New York City and Northern
terminus. '
There is a great deal of talk about the
New York and New England consolidat-
ing with the Boston and Albany and New
York and New Haven, but whether there
is any more foundation for it than there
has been, and that was none at all, is
doubtful. But men interested in the
New York and New England stock pro-
fess to have ground for predicting all
sorts of big things for that road, includ-
an entrance into New York City.
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad stock sold in New York, Wednes-
day, at 233. The books close December

What Two Careless Ballots Cost.
The importance of care and intelligence
in the casting of ballots was never more
vividly shown than during the recent
election in New Jersey. The legislature
which is to choose a United States senator
stood a tie, with one district in Passaic
unrepresented, owing to the fact that each
, candidate for the assembly in that district
had the same number of votes —1,896.
Before ordering a new election it was
decided to recount the votes and be sure
that the tie was correctly made by the
counters. This recount showed that the
democratic candidate had two more votes
than were counted for him, making his
vote stand 1,898. The republican candi-
date had three mere votes than were
counted for him, but—and here comes in
the lesson—two ofthem were illegal, by
reason of two republicans having voted
for a democrat for coroner, and having
pasted this democrat’s name under that of
the republican nominee for representative.
This made their ballots contain the names
of two candidates for representative, and
necessitated the throwing them out, thus
reducing the republican’s vote, which
should have been 1899, to 1897, and elect-
ing the democrat.

Too Tender Hearted.
A Norwalk family recently installed a
new Emerald Isle queen in the kitchen,
and soon after essayed a breakfast of
those beat of Norwalk’s harbor anguilla
tenuirostria. Judge the horror of the fam
ily when Bridget brought the squirmers
on to the table with their long and lithe
tails flapping over the end of the platter.
“Why, in the world, didn’t you cut them
into short pieces ?" inquired the mistress
with consternation depicted on every
lineanent of her face. "Share, mum, an"

New Enterprise at Bridgeport.
Last Week we copied from the Standard
the record of a deed conveying the former
Bridgeport shirt factory property to
Messrs. Ira Cole and T. H. Morrison of
Norwalk and their New York partners.
The enterprise has resulted in a removal
of their Long Hill works, where were
manufactured all their fine flannel un-
derwear, down to Bridgeport. ivfr. Ira Cole,
. we understand, consummated the nego-
tiations very advantageously for his firm
and now the busy hum of a profitable in.
dustry is heard at the Burback factory
again.
There also has been a new Howe Sew-
ing machine company formed at Bridge-
port and those former works will soon be
in full blast again.

Grocery failure.
Baker & Clark, wholesale grocers of
N. Y., failed last week and no end of ru
more were set afloat as to heavy losses
sustained by the South Norwalk banks,
and by Hon. Tallmadge Baker, who was
once a member of the firm. Mr. Baker
states that they owe him $13,000 as balan-
ces of notes for moneyleft with them when
he withdrew in 1876, and that he is en-
dorser for them, for $9,500 only. Their
failure was as great a surprise to him as to
any one. He is confident they have good
assets equal to the full payment of all their
liabilities.~ Their indebtednessis reported
to be between two or three hundred thou-
sand dollars and the creditors say they
expect to get 100 cents on the dollar. The
partners were Daniel Kellogg Baker and
Charles A. Clark.

A Clergyman’s PredicamGnt.
An Essex clergyman recently attempted
to enter his house late at night, having ar-
rived home from New York unexpectedly
by boat without the knowledge Of his fami-
ly. _A‘ barrel under the pantry window
ofiered him easy mode of entering, and he
sprang upon it. His feet had hardly
touched the head before it caved in,and he
found himself plunged in a bath Of soft
soap. To extricate himself from his un-
pleasant predicamemt he was obliged to
call for assistance, but before it was rend-
ered he had anarrow escape from being
shot .for a burglar by a neighbor.

The Reason.
The democrats in Massachusetts have
elected eighty members of thelower. house,
or onethird of its membership. Says a
Boston letter to the Worcester Spy: “This
makes sure the defeat 'of the prohibitory
constitutional amendment.” Unquestion—
ably it does. '19 this the reason why the
third party prohibitionists are political
allies of. ,the democratic partyz—‘bc-
cause democracy always defeats prohibit-
. ion, when it can.

Benedict Arnold’- Letter Found.
The original letter written by Benedict
Arnold to the American people in vindica-
tion of his character after the attempted
betrayal of his country into the hands of
the British, isnow in the possession of the
Kingston Freeman. It was found in an

Congregational Church.
Dr. Anderson preached at the Baptist
church last Sunday, his people having
been invited there to a Union service be-
cause of the Opera House being in use by
the Catholic fair. Next Sunday, however,
worship will be resumed in Mr. Ander-
son's own church. Friday evening the
preparatory lecture will be given there,
and pew holders are earnestly desired to
put in cushions, carpets, etc. during the
day on Friday.
In the general change the space hereto-
fore occupied by the orgau will be fitted
up with elevated seats, while the former
choir seats have been reconstructed into
family boxes for rental. The old pulpit is
removed and the platform extended for-
ward so as to accommodate the choir and
newly placed organ, behind the preacher.
The chapel will not be finished for some
little time yet, and when done, a sort of
re—dedicatory service .will be given. A
Christmas festival will also be prepared
for the children.
About the middle of December a sacred
concert will be given in the church for the
purpose of aiding in clearing the debt cre-
ated by these important improvements.
Mrs. Manson Raymond, nee Miss Anna
Louise Cary, has consented to take part,
with otheflnusicians of note. A supper
will also be served by the ladies the same
evening in the new church parlors, and.
probably one dollar to each of the enter-
tainments will be charged. The organ
will be arranged to be played in church
and chapel at will.

Prisoners of War.
We last week called attention to the
fact that Pension Commissioner Black,
had sent out circulars to all the Grand
Army Posts of the loyal north, requesting
the names and residences of all surviving
soldiers who had been inmates of Confed-
erate Prisons any time during the late
war. The following is a list of those asfar
as keowu to their comrades in Bucking-
ham Post, as belonging to this vicinity and
which have been collected by comrade
George I. Buxton :—

The following is Commissioner Black’s
circular letter :—

Sir .:
When the record of surviving so]-
diers and sailors, late of the Union Army
or Navy, was first established in the Prn-
sion Ofiice it was decided to make as full
and complete a record of Union ex-pris-
oners of war as could be obtained. Ow-
ing, however, to the fact that the number
of ex-prisoners who belong to prisoner of
war associations is very small,the attempt,
thus far, has not been entirely successful.
It is now deemed advisable to call upon
each Post of the G. A. R. to forward a
separate and complete list of its members
and others, giving post-ofiice addless, who
were at any time prisoners Of war. Upon
receipt of your list, cards prepared ex-
pressly for the purpose will be mailed to
all ex-prisoners so reported upon said lists,
and the history-of their service and cap-
tivity thus obtained will be a valuable ad-
dition to the "Prisoner of War Records."
The favor of an early reply is solicited.
Very respectfully,
JOHN C. BLACK,
Commissioner.

Why He :01an Advertise.
One of the best of reasons for not adver.
tising was given us by one of ourNorwalk
merchants, who had heretofore been a
liberal user of the GAZETTE’s advertising
columns. Said be, "To be frank about it,
the reason we discontinued our adver-
tising 1': that it has brought more business
than we can conveniently handle uiflt the
capital we have.” Certainly no more satis-
factory business reason for a discontinu-
ance of advertising could be given. This
is the best “point” made against our
“point,” which is, that a man having
anything to sell cannot let too many
people know it, that we have heard, if we
except Walter Fitch’s experience in having
all his best fruit stolen, the night after the
GAZETI‘E advertized its delicious variety
and quality, by a friendly notice.

A DIAMOND ROBBERY.
ONE OF THE’ BOLDEST BREAKS
MADE BY A YOUNG THIEF.
Au Eutlro Tray of Valuable Rings Sezncd
by a Would-ho Buyer, “'ho Succeeds
in Getting Away With his ngh Priced
Booty.
NEW YORK, Nov. 30.——A young man en-
tered J. H. Johnston‘s je wolry store last even-
ing and asked to see some diamond rings.
The salesman placed on the counter a tray of
valuable rings, the total .value of which is
stated by Mr. Johnston to have been $5,000.
The stranger grabbed the tray, darted out of
the store and escaped.
The job has all the snap and dash Of the
famous robberies of the past that the au-
thorities have fondly believed to be impossible
In these days. Its audacity is only less won-
derful than the fact of its entire success. J.
H. Johnston’s jewelry store is an old estab-
lished and well known institution. Between
two long show case covered counters is the
space allotted to customers, who thus stand
between a. display of diamonds and fine
jewelry on one side, and Of silver plate and
large wares on the other.
At 5:80 yesterday afternoon a young man
presented himself at the jewelry counter.
His appearance justified the interest that he
at once expressed in the matter of diamond
rings. Salesman T. W. Banb, who attended
upon him, set a tray of rings before him
without hesitation and looked him over, as a
matter of habit, as he did so. He saw a
good looking fellow about 22 years old and
five feet seven inches high. His rosy, almost
florid, face was set 011 with alight mustache.
His clothing in sight above the show case, a
black Derby hat and a light overcoat, were
neat and stylish. As Mr. Baab finished his
mechanical inspection, the stranger, who
was closely examining the tray of rings, sud-
denly seized it, and, throwing open the street
door, dashed out.
The long counter’s opening was well away
from the door, and the clerk had to nun
around to the gap to get out. But he fol.
lowed in pursuit of the daring thief. The
latter had a good start, and swung out of the
crowded Bowery into Broome street in three
steps. He was half way down to Elizabeth
street when Baab got out to the corner, and,
though there were numbers of people in
Broome street, no one made any effort to
stop the fugitive. Baab saw him turn down
he reached that point himself no sign of the
thief could be seen, and there was no change
in the usual life of that thoroughfare.
All the inquiries of the detectives and jew-
elry store people did not result in tracing the
thief beyond the corner of Elizabeth and
Broome streets. The rings were quite firmly
fixed in the tray, and none of them were lost
in the run. The thief probably hid the whole
thing under his overcoat and then with the
nerve sufficient to change his run to 2. cool
walk he would be able to escape notice and
ultimately reach some safe harbor.
First Case Under the Law.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30,—The first case
under the law to license vendors of oleomar-
garine came up in the police court in this
city. The witnesses for the government tes-
tified that the defendant, the Rev. Payton
Harrison (colored), of Virginia, was Offering
prints of oleomargarine for sale in the
market, claiming that it was butter he had
gotten from Virginia. The defendant testi-
fied that he was a missionary, and was on his
way to Pennsylvania to be married. He
bought some butter for his sister to make
hima. wedding cake, which butter she said
was too old. He failed to find the man of
whom he bought the butter, and oflered it for
sale. The 'court dismissed the case on the
ground that the law requires a sale to be
made, and does not take cognizance of offers
to sell.

PROVIDENCE, Nov. 30.-—A Swede named
Jacob Anderson, aged 50 years, who occupies

York recently after his arrest on 0. charge of

who saved the lives of a Chicago man and
his two daughters in the surf on Coney Island

No Clue to the Robbers.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 30,—As yet the police
have discovered nothing definitely tending to
disclose the identity of the robbers who
plundered the mail car of the Ostend ex-
press on Saturday, although they are work-
ing upon a number of clues. A lantern was
found in the mail room of the rifled car, evi-
dently of English or American manufacture.
The authorities have telegraphed to the post-
ofiice in New York requesting the names of
the persons having valuable packages in the
rifled mail. __—___ .

READING, Pa., Nov. 30.—~An investigation
of the house of Frank Kerncr, who choked
his wife to death and then set the building on
fire to destroy the evidence of his crime,
shows that he had also made preparations to
blow it up by running a fuse from the upper
floor into a keg of powder below. His inten-
tion was evidently to blow himself up and
the entire family, because, as he says, God
had commanded him to do it. Kerner has
made a. full confession, detailing how he
strangled his wife, then dragged her up stairs
to the bed, poured coal Oil over it and set it
on fire. He is an Anarchist in his ideas.
Ready for Congress to Convene.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 80.——There has been

news of which has traveled all over the land.
Public opinion in the long run will rule.
Our politics have become corrupt because
principle has gone out of them. The last
national election turned on a question of per-
sonal character. Think of it! A nation of
60,000,00001 people haggling over the per-

Work of the Republican party isdone. Black
slavery has been abolished, but the crusade

are organizing. Strikes and boycotts, to my
mind, are like swords and rifles. They an
ugly weapons, and although it may 56
necessary in some instances to resort to
them, it is not by the use of either that
the workingmen can secure their rights.
All over the country a great awakening of
minds has been going on, but these thoughts
have been crude until recently, when they
have begun to crystalize. The real heart of
the labor question lies In the land question
Your candidate for mayor has told you that
for over thirty years he has earned his bread
by the sweat of his brow. There was some
applause, but it was limited Men do not
applaud those whoearn their llvinginthat
way. The good things of life, the riches and
amusements, are not for the workingmen.
It is not natural for men to like woi-k. I
never saw men looking for work because
they liked the work, and yet we have nas-
sive protective tariff laws to keep work
in the country. We are ' im-
mense shipscf-war that we do not want.
and are told that we may need them some
time, and at any rate work is fumisbed for
thousands of men. Well, if we burned up
houses we would furnish men work in re-
building them. Nomanhas a right to de-
mand work of another. No man has a right
to say to another that he must or must not
employ a certain man. What we must do Is
to produce a. condition of things that will
furnish an opportunity for all to work.
What we want is that all men should have
equal opportunities to secure work. Our
civilization now does not give this. It abso-
lutely denies it. We have abolished slavery

tramps abound, and the almshouses are

I so conrtr (-1911 that it can be filled with water
I and the tramps forced to pump it out or
drown. W hat is a tramp? He is an Ameri-
cpn citizen! He will work and he will vote.
And the rich man who runsfor office will
buy his vote. It isthe very rich and \"y
poor men that we fear. What a ridiculous
thing it is to tax houses! Are there too
many houses in the country? A man goes
out on the western plains and takes up the
life of n ranchman. He isan industrious man
and in the course of a few years he succeeds
. in erecting a comfortable house and a number
, of outbuildings. No sooner has he done this
I than along comes an assessor who says:
* “ You have been industrious and frugal, now
i pay me a. fine.”

The poor, lazy loafer who does nothing
and saves nothing, isrequiredtopay nothing,
. but the frugal man is fined. Thatiswhat
l taxation amounts to. What right have those
I who are dead in the land on this continent I
I should like to know? About as much right
i as a man who has left a railroad train has in
f the car that speeds on its way. If I want to
buy a vacant lot in New York I am obliged
I to pay the larger part of my earnings to some
rich man because the will of some dead
English king, who never set a foot in this
, country, says so. What foolishness. You
, enter a railway car and you find all the seats
’ filled with bundles. You attempt to sit down
, and you are told that the seat is engaged.
, You ask how it came to be engaged, and
, you are told that it was bought from the
5 person that alighted at the last station
' There is just as much sense in the car illus-
l tration as there is in the selling of land for
l building purposes. There ought to be no
, such thing as starvation when the great
? graineries are all full. The great Creator
l has put enough in this world for all. Equality
i of opportunity is what is needed Justiceis
i what we want. What you are doing in this
1 election is to elevate principles. I hope no
true Democrat or Republican will fail to vote
I for your labor candidates. If you cannot
l clout them come as near it as you can. Your
influence will be exerted for good. Men of
New Haven, do your duty and let it go forth
to the world that Connecticut is waking up
to the cause of labor.
PRAISES -FOR IVIEXICO.
Con. Greenwood Would lee no Quarter
to Anarchists.
ST. LOUIs, Nov. 30.-—Gen. A. G. Green-
wood, who served with distinction in the
Confederate army and emigrated to Mexico
after the war closed and has resided there
since, is now in this city on a tour of the
United States. ’ “'hcn asked how the present
state of the government of Mexico compared
with that of fourteen years ago, he said:
“Vastly improved. Very much better and
constantly improving. Then, too, the pros-
pect for a continuance of these circumstances
is extremely fluttering. Mexico needs more
railroads and they are constantly being con-
structed. She needs more live, industrious
people to develop her vast mineral and agri-
cultural wealth, and that class of people are
constantly coming into the country. The
country, as a general thing, Is healthy. We
have a good government in Mexico; keep a
standing army of at least 100,000 for the pur-
pose of regulating strikes and Anarchists.
\Ve don’t have strikes in Mexico, nor riots,
nor bomb throwers.
St. Louis should have about two regiments
of soldiers stationed there all the time. Chi.
cago needs about four regiments to re to
her bomb throwers. The sooner era—
by that I mean those who will not work
themselves or let any one else work—~and de-
stroyers of property and bomb throwing
Anarchists are given hot lead the better it is
for the country. They get it In Mexico on
short notice. Labor agitation is nothing to
compare with that of the United States.
The story of the filibusteriug expedition to
be inaugurated by Cutting is a farce like the
rest of Cutting’s affairs. Everybody knew
that Cutting was a coward and a seapegraoe,
and itis not to be supposed that anybody
with good sense would join such an undertak-
taking as was proposed."
“How did you look upon that sflairbe-
tween the United States and Mexico?"
“How! WellIaman American and the
Mexicans were undoubtedly in the wrong.
They acted hastily and unadvisedly in the
matter of Cutting’s arrest and imprisonment.
I told the people of the City of Mexico that
they were in the wrong and that the United
States should 13er he; citizens. ”
Stock ~Certificates Duplicated.
Bosrox, Nov. 30.-—-Among the fresh com-
phcations which are constantly being dis-
covered by the experts in the accounln of the
South Boston Horse Railroad company is the
fact that some of the certificates of stock
have been reissued under the some numbers
to second panics. When on a transfer of
stock a certificate was returned to the com-
pany for cancellation Road would paste it on
the stub from which it had been originally
cut; and would subsequently reissue it, the
holder having no reason to suppose that a
duplicate of that number was already out.
A block of 100 shares thus twice issued has
been found. The experts will have to trace
every certificate issued since the be inning
of Reed’s admlmstra‘ ' tion. This w be a
work of weeks and until it is finished the
stockholders cannot ascertain the actual con-
dia ion of the company. '

BURGLARS SURPRISED.
ssuncLAR ALARM TOLD OF THEIR
OPERATIONS,
And a Regiment of citiaens. Armed
with Shotguns, Kept Thom ht Boy
Until Daylight and. Caused an Uncon-
ditional Sins-end".
Panasoa, N. J., Nov. m—Ramseys is a
little vinago on thc~ErIe road not far from
the New York line, in which six burglaries
have been committed in one store, that of
Ryerson .3 Brother, within not many years
The first four times their store was broken
open with impunity taught the firm to put
In an electric burglar alarm. The fifth time
they suffered Ion taught them to keep the
alarm in order, for it had been out of order
only two days before some one carried off no
and of portable property. At 2:50 o'clock on
Sunday morning the sixth burglar] occurred.
The alarm bell in Mr. G. I. RIOYSOH’I
house, which is about seventy-five yards
from the store, began to make a racket. Mr.
Ryerson and his father-in-law, John Y.
Deter, promptly stopped the noise, dressed
themselves, and, picking up handy shotguns
and revolverx' walked out into the middle of
the su-eet and down toward the store, which
Is on the northwest corner of Main street and
the railroad The west side Of the store bad
windows in it, but they were found closed.
Lights were seen inside through holes in the
front shutters, and at thogeast side, next to
the railroad, a panel was seen to be out of
the side door. As the “to men did not know
how many were at work indde they resolved
to wait for a shot when some one should show
himself at the east side door. They found it
rather lonesome after half an hour, and than
neighbor H. E. Sherwood was called. He ro-
sponded, with a shotgun. Barney and Henry
Winters and William Fisher came next, with
more shotguns, followed by Henry Ryerson,
Garrett Henion, Samuel Bantu. and Can-
stable W. H. Murray, all more or less loaded
with firearms.
It was getting along toward 5 o’clock by
this time, but so quietly had everything been
done that the lights still burned within the
'store and th‘ watchers could hear men walk-
ing carelessly arbund packing up such goods
as were wanted. But it was getting along
towards daylight, and the burglars began to
think it the tobe ofl. One of them stuck
his head through the broken panel to see if
the coast was clear. Garret Henion was
watching the hole just at that time, and he
let drive at the head with his shotgun He
would have shot better under some other dr-
stances, his neighbors say, but this time the
charge went about one foot above the place
where the head was, although Henion
was only about twenty feet from the
door. .This' shot, the burglan said af-
terward, was their firm intimation that
they were discovered. They doused their
lights at once, and, going down into the cel-
lar,began to get rldoftbeir an. and the
stolen property. Two revolvers and a ram
were hidden by them in a bane! of oatmeal.
Another razor was shoved into a soap hot.
The jewelry, cf ribbons, and other stun
stolen was hid about he cellar, and al
the articles subsequently were recovered ex-
cept two silver watches. The party outside,
knowing that the men within were nfely
caught In a trap, did not think best toattack
them in the dark.
When daylight came the west side shutters
were opened, and then the burglars marched
to the broken panel and oxered to surrender.
They were let out and were handcuffed by
the constable. They said they were Frank
Burns, 99 years old; Joseph Adams, 23, and
John Dolan, 20. They would tell nothing
further about themselves. Burns is a burly
fellow and badly pockmarked. They were
taken to Hackensack. They broke open the
store with the aid of a. pickax and a monkey
wrench stolen from the fool house used by
the Erie track hands. It was a neat job.

On the first day of July, 1886, the Borough had
the option of redeeming its bonds to the amount
of one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars,
bearing semi-annual interest at the rate of seven
per cent. per annum, issued the first day of J uiy,
1871.
Said bonds were duly called and public notice
given that they would be pald on July 1st, 1886.
Pursuant to an act of the le lslature, passed at
its last session, new bonds or a like amount,
bearing four per cent. interest were issued and
negotiated to the highest bidders therefor, at a
premium of $9,139.84.
By this operation the Borough not only gains
the premiums realized from the sale, but makes
an annual saving of $5,290 on its interest account.
0n the old Issue there remains of bonds called,
but not yet resented for payment, $74,100.00.

Ilsarsn’s Youxo PEOPLE has been called "the
model of what a periodical for young readers
ought to be," and the justice of this commendation
ls amply sustained by the large circulation it has
attained both at home and In Great Britain. This
success has been reached by methods that com-
mend themselves to the judgment of parents, no
less than to the tastes of children—namely, by an
earnest and well sustained effort to provide the
best and most attractive reading at a low price.
The illustrations are copious and of a conspicu-
ously high standard of excellence.
