In the scheme also may be what is known as [the New York, Danbury and Boston line, but an important factor in that prob- lem will be how to get into New York. The getting into New York feature is otherwise explained as within the grasp of the Standard Oil 00., and the Cyrus Field and Russell Sage interests via N. Y. &. Northern and the N. 'Y. Elevated sys- tems. Moreover, the New England road has large capacities for western business that are not’now at all exercised It is said that these people mean to have, a direct New York connection leading right to the Elevated lines; to develop right and left their western business, and to double track the whole road. Then again it is stated that the Montreal, Hous- atonic & New England and Consolidated are as “agreeable" as bugs in a rug. That the Consolidated will four track its road from South Norwalk to New York to accomodate the increased business over the Housatonic via the Danbury anda firm alliance, offensive and defensive, will be formed by all these companies to defeat any efforts to paralell the Cbnsolidated road. Mr. Watrous’ statement that there would be no antagonisms in these new deals of the several rOads, lends probab- ility to the last named rumors. It. is furthermore said the Storm King Bridge will soon be swinging across the Hudson and that the New England will tap every railroad of New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Well, we shall see, what we shall see. Meantime, it is a fact that the New Haven 85 Hartford has earned seventeen per cent. on its watered stock the past year. The dividend was ten per I cent., the accum- ulated surplus is $3,500,000, and the stock sells at 225. -——-—-—«>——— Bnmor Spoke Truth. President William H. Barnum, was one of those who attended the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Housatonic road in this city Friday. A special train brought down about 120 share holders, some of whom brought along their women folks on a trading and general jollification expedition. At the preliminary meeting of directors it became known that C. K. Averill and John Peck of the old board were to be left off and J. A. Bostwick, president of the NewYork &New England road, and Francis A. White, of New York, substituted. Afterwards the name of Henry Hentz, of Brooklyn was put on in place of J. A Bostwick’s. The printed ticket circulated among the stockholders and afterwards elected without serious Opposition contained J. A. Bostwick’s name, but a pen had been drawn through it and the name of Henry Hentz written over it. This shows that the original ticket had been made up long enough to be put in type, and that the change on Bost- wick’s name was an after thought for which some unknown reason exists. The following are the newly elected di- rectors: William H. Barnum, Lime Rock; Horace Nichols, Bridgeport ; H. Y. Leavitt, New York; Wm. D. Bishop, Bridgeport; A. B. Mygatt, New Milford; D. W. Plumb, Birmingham; Francis A. White, New York; Henry Hentz, Brook- lyn. Messrs. White and Hentz are identi- fied with the Bostwick party who captur- ed the New York & New England road the other day. White is a director of that road. The result of this meeting proves the substantial accuracy of recent rumors to the effect that the Bostwick party had acquired an important footing in the Housatonlc road. They have two direc- tors out of nine, and it would not be sur- prising if important changes and combin- ations looking to closer relations between the New England and the Housatonic roads should develop in the near future. At 6 o'clock last night President Bar- num said a meeting of the directors would be called in a few days to elect officers, as there had not been time to attend to that matter during the afternoon. This move is a very unusual one. Heretofore it has been customary for the directors to choose officers right after the stockhold- crs‘ meeting—that is, within an hour or two, and always the same afternoon. The natural inference would be that there is something Ollt of the usual run on foot when it is thought necessary to depart so widely from the customary course and make a delay Of several days. It looks very much as if the admission of the New York & New England interest into the share, ownership and directory of the old Housatonic would lead to more surprises before many days.——Brz'dgeport News. ————4 The Honest “Post’s” Honest Opinion. We notice that the Norwalk papers are strongly urging Hon. Asa B. Woodward, of that town, for the place among the superior court judges soon to be vacant. Among all who have been mentioned we know of no man better qualified for the position. He is one whose reputation as a lawyer is of the best and a man who has always enjoyed the confidence, respect and esteem of the community in which he resides, irrespective of party. He is a man whose appointment would be an honor to the bench. We think Bridgeport has a fair share of judicial honors—«~21 superior court judge, who will in all probability go to the supreme court of errors, and a judge of the court of common pleas. Norwalk’s judges have been men of ability and the appointment of Mr. Woodward wou‘d not break the record. Bridgeport has the court house (to build) and the jail. and it is our humble opinion that Bridgeport should now be content to let the second town in the county have something. A too grasping disposition often damages (in the long run) those who show it.— Bridgeport Post. 0»— Fairfield County Agricultural Society.

There were over 80 persons present and the hours passed very quickly until 11 .o’clock, when the bridal couple left for the east on their trip. They will return this week, and for the present will reside with the bride’s parents. Many rich and very handsome presents-were received. A Rare Musical Treat ~ Was enjoyed at the First Congregational Church on Wednesday evening—indeed it was pronounced by connoisseurs the rich! est, in its kind, ever had in Norwalk. What less could have been expected from such artists and auspices? Not only the society whose chapel fund reaped the pc- cuuiary benefit, but as well, all lovers of the highest order of music present, are greatly indebted to them all ; especiallly to Mrs. Raymond for her generous inter- est and services which secured the hearty coLoperation of her three New York friends, Miss Marie S. Bissell, soprano; Mrs. L. L. Danforth, soprano, and Mrs. S. B. Anderson, contralto., all well and fa- vorably known in the city. When with_ their rare and cultivated voices the mag- nificent contralto Of Mrs. Annie Louise Cary Raymond was blended. how soul-en- traucing was the harmony whether heard without the organ, as in the quartette, “Lagendo,” or accompanied by its delight- ful tones evoked by the delicate and sym- pathetic handling of its loving master, Mr. A. 8. Gibson, whose ”right lland”—as felt also in , his solo performances—had forgotton nothing Of its "cunning." To its young mistress, Miss Jennie K Nash, also it responded with power and sweet- ness, even increased by its recent change of base and air. The attendance of such an audience in such stormy weather, their rapt attention, and their enthusiastic ap- plause must have convinced all the artists that their manifestly cordial efforts to please were heartily appl'ccigted. Since their performance only encouiu’ms of ad- miration and delight are heard ifi‘ the air’, without one discordant note, from their grateful auditors, desirous of a repititlon, and it is a pleasure to learn that they en- joyed‘tlleir reception, as well as the epi- sode to their city life in their excursion to the country, even in:a Connecticut snow storm. * —————<+>—~—-—-~ A Plea for Temperance. It is often said that rum makes a brute of a man. We were informed of an out- rage a few weeks since that would be a gross libel on the brute creation to call it “brutal." A young wife was endeavoring to coax her drunken husband tO their desolate home. He wasa man apparently Of not more than twenty-four or five years, and she a woman of perhaps twenty, on whose pale and shrunken brow still . lingered traces of former beauty. As the poor woman made an extra effort with both hands to hold him up from a fall in- to the snow at the moment when he had lurched from his equilibrium, the wretch no sooner balanced himself on his feet, than he drew back his fist and dealt the wretched wife a terrible blow square in the face. The demon then muttered, “D—-—n you, take that i" when passers by rushed up and pulled him away; from tllc sobbing woman. Yet this man when so- her is, no doubt, as kind ,of heart as the average of men, and yet a legalized liquor trafllc, a dcbased appetite, either inherited or acquired, turned the man into, not a brute, for no brute would do such a thing, but into a demon. .When such outrages as" these are witnessed in our streets, should not the cause of temperance be dearer to every heart than a political party, even though the name of that futile party be “probibition ?” ___._,..,______ ' Obituary. ’ Mrs. Enos Osborne of East N orwa k, another most estimable woman, wife and , motllér, “made perfect through suffer- ing,” died at her residence on East.

A CLOUDED HONEYMOON. Later developments would seem to indi- cate that after all, the marriage will not prove a _ happy one, Already the honeymoon is obscured behind the sombre cloud of conjugal infe- licity, with a prospect of total eclipse. Only yesterday morning the disconsolate bridegroom went to Chief Lockwood and related a pitifultale of domestic woe, in which he himself figured as the hapless victim, and pleaded for the law’s interfer- ence in his behalf. He said four or five fellows had taken possession of his house and bride, and were wasting his substance in riotous living, which he had spent every cent of his last quarterly pension payment, $36, to procure; they had filled his wife up with rum. and when be pro- tested against _their dcbaucheries, rhe coolly reminded him that these interlopers were her guests:and§the apartmentswere also hers as she pays the rent, $1 a month, and that if he didn’t like it he could get out. bargain and invoked diabolical maledic- He already bitterly repented his rash ions on the heads of the roguisb, mis. chief loving match-makers who had "got him into this hole.” Says the poor fellow: ‘If I don‘t keep her full of rum all the time I can’t livu with her at all, and if I shift for myself she’ll have me up for non. upport."

Thereupon the irate Ronk, sWeaI-ing vengeance and vowing to be a law unto himself, drew ahorse-pistol from his pocket, went to J 00 Matheis’ saloon, borrowed" a revolver from behind the bar when Joe’s back was turned, and thus equipped like a walking arsenal, he marched boldly t0 the castle where revelry cld sway, with blood in his voice and a murderous gleam in his weather eye.

When Sexton took his seat near the table he was greeted with applause, but the audience seemed partial to McKenna, who appeared a moment later. Henry Behrens, of Meriden, acted as referee, and Joseph Wilson, New York, as marker. Sexton after spotting the balls, counted and made a run of 14. Then McKonna started and made 19, although the third shot was a scratch. Sexton in the thir- teenth made a run of 69, which was the largest of the game. McKenna then became somewhat nervous and for several innings he could make only small runs. In the thirty- second inning he scored 43 points, but by that time he was far behind. In the twen- tieth inning Sexton made 49 points and from then until the end of the game he made runs of 10, 26, 36, 29, and 22. The score is: Sex- ~ ton, 500; McKenna, 369. EMPIRE STATE SCHOOLS.

Philadelphia has opened the call by holding a mass meeting, at which over $3,000 was raised for the eviction fund.
