More Railway Rumblings.

One of the Portchcster Editors assures
us that engineers are now actually at work
on a re-survey of the New York end Of
the Portchester, Ridgefield and Danbury
Railroad. A very considerable amount
of money has already been expended on
this enterprise, but whether with any hon-
est intention of really building the road or
only as a means of influencing the values
of other railroad shares in Wall street,
does not seem to be fully known, even by
parties actually engaged on the work.

But one thing we do know about.
While our esteemed contemporary the
Danbury News was last week crowing
over a bid of 105 for Danbury stock, our
to he Governor, P. C. LOUNsmmY had al-
ready sold fifty shares Of his block of that
stock for one hundred and ten. The same

price, and even 110§_was offered one of
our citizens for three hundred shares
more, but the offer was declined. It is
pretty evident that the Hon. WM. H. BAR-
ND.“ is a success as manipulator of railroad
stocks, whatever may be said of his naugh-
typolitics, for it is but a few months since
Danbury stock was sold at forty-five.

That there is some big scheme behind
the absorption of our little Danbury by
the Housatonic and this sudden and enor-
mous rise in the market value of its stock
is self evident. Many railroad wiseacres
see in it a secret scheme of the great Penn-
sylvania Central System to extend their
enormous length of lines from Boston
and Montreal to New Orleans. That the
enormous Vermont and Canada freighting
business, now finding its outlet via the
New London and Northern railroad, and
from New London to New York by water
is _to be hereafter brought to Wilson’s
point over the Danbury, there can be but
little doubt.

There are rumors afloat to the effect
that President WATROUS of the Consoli-
dated is expected to withdraw at the next
annual meeting, and his place to be filled
by a re-election of HON. WM. D. Brsuor.
The only reasons we have heard assigned
are Mr. Watrous precarious health and the
unpopularity of Mr. Barnett, his chief as-
sistant, who is charged with being afiiict-
ed with a sort of chronic and constipated
meanness in his dealings with the friends
and patrons of the road.

The Danbury News says z—Ten automat-
ic switch stands and point switches have
been received at Danbury to be put in
position on the Danbury and Norwalk
division Of the Housatonic road. The
road, as soon as can be conveniently done,
will be equipped its entire length with
this kind Of switch.

The New York Times publishes the fol-
lowing :—President George H. Watrous
of the New York, New Haven and Hart-
ford railroad, to-nigirt said that the pro-
posed New York, anbury and Boston
railroad would not give any shorter line
between New York and Boston than was
now held by existing roads, nor would
trains over it be able to lower the time
between the two cities. The only road
which might be aficcted by the new com-
pany would be the Danbury & Norwalk,
now under control of the Housatomc
Railroad company. The Danbury
Norwalk would feel the competition on
local business only. President Watrous

did not seem at all worried about the new
company hurting the Consolidated road.

J no. T. Hubbard, of- Litchfield, has
brought suit to foreclose the first mortgage
given by the Shepaug Valley Railroad
company, of the railroad built by that
company. The papers were served on Dr.
Deming, secretary Of the railroad com-

pany.

Our Candidate for the Vacant Judgeship.
The retirement of Judge Granger, and
the promotion Of Judge Beardsley to the
supreme court, will leave a vacancy on
the superior court bench to be filled by
GovernOr Lounsbury, and in justice to
Fairfield county the vacancy should be
filled by a Fairfield county man. Our
county is the third largest in the state and
llas~only had of late one superior court
judge, while New Haven county has
three. Not only is our county growing,
but the importance of having another
judge in the case of injunctions, etc., is
obvious, and on purely business grounds
Fairfield county ought to be provided
with facilities of that kind, and Governor

Lounsbury would make no mistake if he
' should put in that position the HON. AsA

B. WOODWARD, of Norwalk. The late

HON. O. S. FERRY. whose law partner Mr.

W. was for many years, once said to the

writer that there was not a man in the

state who was by natural judicial judg-
ment instinct, tastes and education, better

fitted to be a judge than HON. Am B.

WOODWARD, and we are sure it would be

the verdict of his fellow members of the

Fairfield county bar that our to be Gov-

ernor Lounsburycould not make a better

or more popular selection.

John S. Phelps.

The nation owes a substantial debt of
gratitude to ex-Govenor John S. Phelps,
of Missouri, who died on Saturday last,
forthe great ‘services be rendered to the
Union cause on the eve of the rebellion and
during the war. Early -in the war he
raised a: regiment composed mainly of
Union refugees from Arkansas, and com-
manded it in the field. His patriotic ser-
vices were appreciated and recognized
by president Lincoln who appointed him
military governor of Arkansas. He was
elected governor of Missouri in 1876 and
administered that office with signal abili-
ty during a term of four years. Prior to
the war he held a seat in Congress for 18
years, and was a recognized leader on the
democratic side of the house. He was a
native of Simsbury in this state, and Con-
necticut has reasons to be proud of his
long and distinguished career and of his
patriotic services in the great crisis of ’61.

democratic politics and habits, ending
with a fatal alliance with Tweed, wrought
his ruin. He fell, and carried ruin wide,

Random Ramblings.

 

My sister’s husband came into the

“Bailiff Pinnco is a tyrannical officer, and

seems determined to make as wear out

our sidewalks nursing them. Now he isn't

elected as the public's master, but as the

public’s servant; and as the public’s serv-

ant hc ought to keep the public’s side-

walks clean himself. In the summer he

makes us get down on our knees and pull

up the weeds and hnckleberry bushes
from our walks; and now comes a procla-
mation ordering us to go to shoveling
sn'ow. Of course some will comply and
others won’t. And as those who don’t,
generally come out as well as those who
do, I think I’ll let my sidewalk shovel it-
self this year.” I suggested in reply the
possibility that thepresent administration
might not be that kind of a huekleberry,
and that the experiment Of neglecting to
obey the ofiicial decree might result differ-
ently from what his observation of past
administrations led him to expect. He’s
got his walk shoveled clear of snow, any

way. .

Rumor whispers of the prospective mar—
riage of a certainprominent and estimable
young bachelor belonging» properly in
South Norwalk, but who is engaged busi-
ness-wise at the borough, to a beautiful
and accomplished young lady, a favorite
in Norwalk society, whose self sacrificing
devotion to her liege lord elect, although
not universally known, she has demon-
strated in a manner most touching and
unquestionable. The wedding, I under-
stand, is to be solemnized on the anniver-
sary of a day that marked the opening of
a most strange and romantic relationship
which will culminate with the marriage
itself, and will commemorate acrisis from
which the engagement sprung, the alter-
nate Of which would have been a plunge
to death, or the starting point to a life of
desperation and wickedness. The story
would make a thrilling novel, but a
strange one, for truth is stranger than
fictiOn.

If“!

A discordant, asthmatic hand-organ—
the last rose of summer—stopped in flcnt
of our house last Friday, that bitterly cold
day, and the frozen-nosed manipulator
unstrapped the machine from his back
and proceeded to prepare for torture.
Notwithstanding the fact that it seemed
like cruelty to the organ, to compel it to
play in such severely cold weather, he
fixed the stop-cocks and safety valves and
things to grind out “tit willow,” grasped
the crank and began to twist vigorously,
but to his evident and- unconcealed dis.
D gust, not a note came forth, not a tit did
she willow, and the more he twisted the
more it didn’t go. He pulled back the
hammer, withdrew the tlt willow charge,
loaded the instrument for “gentle spring”
and pulled the trigger again, but to no
purpose; it wouldn’t go OK. In despair
he slung the organ over his back, at the
same time murmnring in the mellow and
musical dialect of sunny Italy: “Damma
tings freeze upa; me fix him quieka,
dammuml” Coming to the door he
asked permission to warm himself. He
took a seat near the red-hot stove, de-
positing the organ beside him. A few
seconds exposure to the warmth thawed
out the frozen notes, and all at once the
organ, as if bewitched, began to play.
The melancholy refrain of the tom-tit as
it twittered its tit willow came out loud
and clear, while at the same time “gentle
spring” showered a freshet of melody over
the warbling dicky-bird, and several other
ice-bound airs that had been imprisoned
by the cold wave combined in a medley
that twisted the organ’s wind-pipes out of
shape and made the stove dance a horn-
pipe till one of its legs came off. But
when the heat got hold of a package of
macaroni and stale cheese that was strap-
ped to the machine, and the odorifcrous
harmony of its melting smote upon
our nostrils, my sister opened wide the
door and bade the man take his infernal
machine and begone~and he stood not
upon the order of his begoing, but he
chent.'

The big Bridgeport kermesse, “Feast of
of the New Moon,” was full of fuss and
feathers last Thursday evening, when
Gov. Harrison and staff were in attend-
anec, chaperoned by 00]. Watson and
staff. The governor made a speech spicy
with wit and sweetened with taffy for the
city, the ladies present, the feast and the
moon, and he himself as the man in the
moon, was coddled in due and proper
shape. At Norwalk’s kcrmesse a couple
of weeks ago, we had no Governors nor
staffs, but we had better looking men than
a governor or a staff; we had the loveliest
of ladies, the most aesthetic of decorations,
the most gallant Of patrons, and the most
charming Bridgeportfolios, of music.~—
Aud best of all, we had an entertaining
stage performance with Dr. Many in it.

"'NORW'ALK GAZETTE TUESDAY. DECEMBER 7 1886.

Expose of That Pretendodj'ubnc Investi-

Financial Wiadom.
The following communication is from the

W ROSIE ROWE: OUR RWBUNG RABBLER- pen of that venerable and sound financier,
Home: SrArLEs, president'of the National
Bank of Westport. His views were called
out by a letter addressed by ourselves
him as to what, in his judgment, wool
be the best course for the government to

to

pursue in regard to our silver, legal tender
and greenback currency, bonds, etc., and
the retirement of the three per cents., on
which mainly the circulation of our
national, banks depend. - The veteran
banker writes us that his eighty-sixth.
birthday is now less than two months dis-
tant. We commend his words of wisdom,
rendered sound by long years Of critical
observation and experience of monetary
affairs :—

'EDITOB or GAzarrE —As congress is
about to meet, can it be possible that they
should fail to see the great evil our inflated
currencyis bringing upon us ? The legal
tender currency was considered the most
dangerous set ever passed by our govern-
ment, and only permitted as a war measure
under protest by every sound financial
man in the country, Hamilton, Dallas,
Gallatin and Chase, . all considering
the issue of circulating notes by the gov-
ernment illegal and dangerous. No man,
worthy the name of a man, thought of
issuing it as currency, except as a war
measure. When Mr. McCuIlOch was re-
tiring his two millions a month we all
knew it to be a just and legal act, and
had he not been stopped by a weak and
unworthy class Of speculators we should
have been saved the scandal of the Knights
of Labor organization and all the evils
attending it. In fact an inflated currency
like our own never failed, and never can
fail,'of bringing disgrace and distress upon
any civilized country. The dishonesty of
keeping it in circulation is an outrage
unpardonable. Equality is what we
claimed to be the foundation of our gov-
ernment. Were you, Mr. Editor, going to
3set up your son in business, giving him
the necessary capital in actual cash to
work with, would you expect him to
prosper if his neighbor was to start in the
same business with the privilege of using
a currency that cost nothing but the
printing; that neighbor having the exclu-
sive privilege of compelling his creditors
to take the paper for cash, for what was
printed on its face ?

This is principally the relation financial-
ly between the government and the people.
Our national banks organized by paying
cash for bonds to hypothecate for cur-
rency, only getting 90 per cent. for every
hundred, besides the stockholders were
personally liable to make good any losses.
The legal lender has driven out of circula-
tion many millions of national currency,
and is likely to drive out the whole. If
this principle is right, then it is right for
you and I and everybody that has a horse
era cow worth fifty dollars to issue at
least forty-five dollars of currency and
use as our needs require. Can any other
construction be put on our financial con-
dition? Another outrage is our silver
coinage. We go to the post ofice for a
dollar’s worth of postage stamps and give
a five dollar bill, and get the stamps and
four silver dollars worth three dollars.
This is another abomination. One which
our government should remedy at once.
Our national banking system is the best
any nation ever had, and should not be
disgraced by undertaking to make silver
a basis for securing its circulation. The
system should be unchangeable and kept
just as it is. The government should pay
of! legal tenders; they have practised
iniquity enough. They have used the
national banks for the sole purpose of re-
ducing their rate of interest on these
bonds. Twenty years ago the currency
bonds were at par or under, now they are
twenty-eight above par; in fact, when the
banks began to take them for circulation
they at once began to rise and continued
to do so in proportion as the banks need-
ed them. The four per cent. bonds, hav-
ing a long time to run, were placed in
the hands of a syndicate, who forced the
banks to buy at a large premium until
they are now selling at 128.‘ What would
they have been, had it not been for the
banks? Honesty and simplicity is all we
need. The nation should first pay the
legal tender, then offer a bond to secure
the circulation, say atone per cent. or
not over' one and a, half per cent., with
fifty years to run, and they would be
readily taken, and the iniquity of the
government would be blotted out, and we
should have an honest and positively re-

liable currency. R. s.

Practical Christianity.

At the annual meeting of the First
Congregational church,-December 3, Miss
GeorgieTaylor presented her sixth annual
report of parish mission work :—+Number
of families on 'her list, 75. Of these 28 are
white and 47 colored. Of the white fam-
ilies there are 87 children in Sunday
school. In the colored school, 63 scholars.
The amount of cash receipts for charity is
$68.47 ; disbursements, $65.20, of which
among the whites, $48.88; among colored,
$13.59. To the whites were given 147
partly worn garments. valued at $85.00,
To the colored people 41,valued at $18.50.
In the families connected with the mission
department of the Sunday school this
work has had some interesting features.
In some of them there has been very
great improvements in their habits of
living. Atouc‘ning case of relief and spir-
itual help to a family of strangers, where
the mother was dying of consumption,
was narrated, and there were other in-
stances. Tlle work among the whites is
more encouraging and steadily increasieg
-—seven new families having been added.
Among the colored people a marked inter-
est‘and even enthusiasm is manifested in
connection with the possession of their
chapel, given them by their white brethren,
in removing it to Knight street, and re-
pairing it. To this large contributions
have been made by their friends, but they
also have done and given much at the
cost of sacrifice.

The work done in their Sunday school

by Superintendent Starr, assisted by a
corps of self-denying teachers from the
First church, has not been in vain. ‘
The whole work reported by Miss Tay-
lor is a “charity thrice blessed” to givers
and workers, to the church furnishing
them and to the families, the mlssion
church and school assisted. s. n. s. a.

so plainly stamps the whole thingas simp-
ly an advertising dodge of huge propor-
tions that we think the public entitled to'
the benefit of the expose, and accordingly
givc'it below:
“The Journal has printed analyses and
reports of various baking powders as
reading noticesor advertisements. It has
not undertaken to say of its own know-
ledge which is the best powder in the
market. Consumers must decide for
themselves.”
This piece of ingenious advertising on
the part of the Royal Baking Powder
Company may have had its origin in the
evident disappointment of that company
with its extravagant but fruitless adver-
tising cfiorts to beguile the public into be-
lieving that the cream of tartar used in
other baking powders contain a large per-
centage of tartrate of lime, when it is a
fact and well known to the commercial
. world that all the refiners who supply the
country with cream of tartar are, and have
been for a long time, in a combination
under an agreement between them to pro-
duce only Tstrictly pure, or ninety-nine
per cent. goods. ‘
The cream of tartar used in Cleveland’s
Superior Baking Powder is refined by a
new process which frees it entirely from
tartrate of lime and every other impurity,
and is obtained in the pure crystal and is
ground in our own factory; the bicarbo-
nate of soda, is prepared eXpressly for us;
and to ensure uniform andabsolute puri-
ty Of our baking powder all the ingredi-
ents are subjected to searching chemi-
cal analyses. and none used unless proved
to be perfectly pure.
Appreciating the fact that consumers
have a right to know what they are using
for food, we have for many years made
known to the public all the ingredients of
our powder. Cleveland’s Superior Bak-
ing Powder, is made only of strictly pure
cream of Tartar, bicarbonate of soda, and
a small portion of flour used asapreserva-
tive, and does not contain ammonia,alum,
lime, acid phosphates, or any adulteration
whatever. '

Has the Royal Baking Powder Com-
pany, with its much advertising, ever in-
formed the housekeepers Of the country
all thilt enters into the composition ot its
powders? Or has it ever published a word
openly in defence of the use of ammonia
in baking Powder ? Information on these
points might enable the public to form an
opinson in regard to the merits of this
much mooted question of baking powder
supremacy, and we would have no mis-
givings as to the result.

BIG FAILURE IN THE SHOE TRADE.

t

 

Factories Shut Down Because Working-
men Dictate Terms.

Bos'rON, December 4.—A heavy failure

head, made an assignment to Edward U.

The significance Of its fall lies in the fact
that it is caused solely by the dictation of

—There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years the doctors pronounced it a
local disease, and prescribed local reme-
dies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment pronounced it incur-
able. Science Ilas proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore re-
quires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney, Toledo, Ohio, is the only consti-
tutional cure now on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from ten drops
to a teaspoonful. It acts directly upon
the blood and mucus surfaces of the sys—
tem. They offer one hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for circu-
