\ a: NORWAVLK GAZETTE TUESDAY. DECEMBER 28 18,86. NORWALK GAZETTE Tuesday. Dec. 28, 1886. _ Change of Date. ' I Beginning with the first number in the New Year, (next week,).the GAzE-rrn will be dated and issued on Wednesday, and will be sent out early Wednesday morn- ing. This change, we are sure, will be an acceptable one to our subscribers, and ' especially so to our advertising patrons, as well as a convenience to the publisher. Under the existing order we endeavor to go to press shortly afternoon on Tuesdays, and find that despite our standing rule some advertisers and correspondents will deter their esteemed favors until the last minute, necessitating a delay in the pub- lication, and thus it has frequently oc- curred that wefihave been three to four hours late in issuing, thus bringing the Gamma out after dark. By adopting the new rule we shall come out promptly on time every week, enabling our readers to peruse the old GAzErrE at their breakfast tables, and most of our subscribers to receive it on the day of publication. It will be our aim and object to make the GAzEm for 1887 more readable and desirable than ever before, and hope to sWell our new rapidly growing subscrip- tion list to double its present number before the New Year shall have grown old. We have recently sent out sample copies at half rates to various parties with the hope that beginning with the New Year all such would authorize us to place their names on our list of regular subscribers. Now is the time to subscribe and to pay for 1887. Price 50 cents per quarter, 31 for six months, and $2 per year—strictly in advance. -——————-—‘+>————‘ The latest Railroad Gossip. The air is still full of rumors of various railroad schemes of greater or less magni- tude, some plausible and more preposter- ous. It must be next to impossible for the railroad experts themselves to keep the run of their own lies. Of course in speculative circles the special interest centers in New England. The N. Y. Commercial Adver- tiser announces that the plans of President Bostwick and his friends are comprehen. sive and foreshadow the formation of a railroad system that will be a formidable competitor of the New York New Haven and Hartford. It says: There is no concealment of the fact that the rinci members of the syndicate that as to on up the bonds of the New York and Danbury company are in the new board of directors of the New Eng- land. The principal associates of Mr. Bostwick in this enterprise are understood to be Mr. Starbuck and Heman Clark. Mr. Clark holds the contract for the build- ing of the road, which is to be com leted by next autum. It will run from ronx river, where a connection will be made with the Suburban ~Rapid~~ Transit com- any’s line to Danbury, where the New England will be reached. Mr. Bostwrck has also acquired a large interest in the Housatonic road: which runs north from Danbury, and at the recent election several of his friends were made directors. He and his associates also control a railroad property known as the New York. Rut- land and Montreal line, which connects Chatham, in this state, with Bennington, Vt. By re-building this line, and by con- structing about 10 miles of new road, it will be possible to run through trains from this city to Bennington over the Danbury, Housatonic and Rutland lines. In this way the Saratoga, Berkshire county, White Mountain and Montreal trade is to be sought. This northern road will tap the Boston Hoosac Tunnel and Western, the Burlington and Rutland (and thus the Vermont Central) and the Delaware and Hudson Canal company’s road. Both of the great branches of the proposed system the one from Boston and the one from Bennington, will meet at Danbury, and access to New York will be had over the the new Danbury road. The Evening Post says of New England that the election is belived to indicate its connection with the Manhattan Elevated. The Housatonie Valley 00. was organi- . zed last week at New Haven to connect the Derby with the New England, Housa- tonic and Danbury and Norwalk, at llaw-I leyville. And last if not least, the annual meeting of the Hartford do Harlem was held Christmas day and its old board was reelected with an eye to business. A plausible rumor is current that the N. Y. and N. H. and the N. E. roads are qui- etly working together, the former to give use of its tracks from South Norwalk and latter to give former an entranceinto New York and rescue it from therapacity of the Vanderbilts who exact over a thousand dollars per day for use of track and city terminus at Grand Central depot.

All business except dram and cigar selling, seemed suspended. Our streets were deserted, save by Ex- press messenger Jennings, who was driv- ing about like mad all day, and delivered over 400 packages of Christmas cheer. The pest office boys had a lively time tak- ing in and giving out packages up to 11 o’clock, when they were glad to close up and take a rest with all the other towns- people. We doubt if ever there have been so many gifts bestowed as on Saturday last. The Sunday school children were made abundantly happy at home and at church, and the poor, and the sick and at- fiictcd seem to have been specially, and in one case, of which we have personal knowledge, most tenderly and affection- ately remembered. Verily it is more bless- ed to give than to receive, and especially under such benign inspirations as come with Christmas. .____—.¢+.——— The Oldest and the Newest.

The nation was shocked by the an- nouncement of the sudden death of the distinguished soldier-senator from Illinois, which occurred Sunday p. m. at his home in Washington, caused by rheumatic affec- tion of the brain. The senator’s naturally robust vital forces had been greatly re- duced by overwork, and it was only on Wednesday of week before last that the writer remarked to him that he looked ill, and wns assured in return that he was not ill, but'only “tired,” and adding, “I will be all right in afew days." ' The general was one of those earnest, resolute, forceful characters that always inspire confidence, admiration and afiec- tion. Though, perhaps, not technically one of the greatest soldiers of the war, he was so afiame with patriotic ardor that everyone about him caught the inspiration, and anyone who may have been present at the “grand review” at Washington at the close of the ‘war, when .the long lines of battle scarred veterans passed in front of the White House, will remember the wild and vociferous cheer that rent the air, exceeding in volume that which we]- corned any other hero of the filiished war, as “Black Jack" rode proudly past the grand reviewing stand. This was but a sample of the interest and enthusiasm he always inspired at the front, and since taking his seat in the senate almost invari- , ably the first senator sought out by visiting strangers from the galleries was General Logan. We remember to have heard General Grant remark of him as a soldier, that he had “learned to know that whenever he ordered Logan to have his command at a given place at 3 o’clock in the morning, he could always depend on their being there at half-past two.” He was an incessant and toilsome worker, and but for the aid rendered him by one of the most helpful and devoted wives any man was ever blessed with,he would have broken down long ago, robust and vigor- ous as he by nature was both in mind and body. In private life and among civilian asso- ciates he was always a great favorite, as he has always been with the-boys in blue. A favorite motto of his was: “If you are right you cannot be to radical; ' if you are wrong you cannot be too conservative." His honesty and sincerity none ever doubted. As for himself he could not have chosen to have died otherwise than he did “ in the harness.” His last words were: “ If this is the end I am ready." But what finite mind can measure the depth of woe of that stricken one to whom and whose life her husband was as the sun in the firmanent, and whose wifely loyalty and devotion rose to almost a supreme adoration. General Boynton, in his dispatch to the Hartford Couraut, thus discribes the scene when it was told her that her husband was passing to “the beyond :” . The stricken woman, who has been her husband’s right arm and best counsellor during all the years of his notable career, received the dreadful news in silence that indicated the agony of her soul, and her renewed attention to the dying man were the only signs that the brave wife gave of her intense grief. I- ALICE n. FITCH. Alice R., daughter of the late John and and of Mrs, Mary Fitch, and grand- daughter of Harvey Fitch, “passed through death into life immortal” on Thursday last at her home in Norwalk. The deceased was long a sufferer from con- sumption,and when the hour of her de- parture came it was to her bright spirit, a happy release from weariness and pain. She was formerlya teacher in the Over River school, and greatly beldved by all who knew her, and her death is an- other verification of the adage, “the good die young." MRS. JULIA DOWNS. Mrs. Downs, relict of the late Henry B. Downs, who was so long identified with the Seymour nursery business at South Norwalk, died quite suddenly of typhoid fever on Wednesday last. She leaves a family of grown children to mourn her departure, as do her church and all who ever knew her. ABNEB G. MOSSMAN.

As a consequence, with the present single track, passengers on incoming trains, eager to get up town, are frequently tan- talyzed by seeing their horse car turn the corner on its up-town trip. But this de- parture from belated trains is made im- peritive by reason of the single track not permitting the down coming cars to ap. preach the South Norwalk depot, till the waiting one has reached the turn-out above Nash's store.

If this isn’t “English you know” we, THE DEAD SENATOR. " HIS FATAL DISEASE CONTRACTED DURING THE WAR And Aided by an Inherited Tendency to Rheumatic Troubles—His Last Speech- in the Senate—file Methods of Calling Up nis Measures. WASHINGTON, Dec. lid—Senator Logan’s physicians pronounce acute rheumatism the cause of death. His first attack was about two weeks ago, when he took a heavy cold which resulted in rheumatism. This disease is hereditary, his mother and brother having died from it. At the time of his attack his nerves were in a bad condition, and he was unfit both physically and mentally to battle with the discus. There was no idea, how- ever, that the attack wOuld prove fatal until a'cbange for the worse was noticed on Friday night. Rheumatic fever and nervous pros- tratiou developed and he was uncon- scious for hours before his death. The unconsciousness, the physicians say, was caused by congestion of the brain due to the fever. He had a good deal totaxhis mind just before the attack. He was wor- ried about the printing of his book, and since he has been sick the newspaper discussion about the Grant correspondence has added much to his annoyance. The seeds of the disease were sown during the war, his first attack of rheumatism having followed im- mediately the end of a twenty-four hour march through a blinding snowstorm. His last attack, too, resulted from brief exposure to the snowstorm which visited Washington a fortnight ago. Senator Logan, though a diligent and earnest public servant, paid but little atten- tion to the details of parliamentary methods. He was not familiar with the rules and rarely ever knew the status of his own bills on the calendar. His time, perhaps, was so on- with the many important matters intrustod to him and with his correspondence that he had no opportunities for familiarizing himself with parliamentary details. When he wished to pass 9. pending measure he would ask to take it up, and it irritated him to have the point raised that any rule con- flicted. The measure to which he last gave special attention in the senate was the bill todonate certain land in Chicago for gov- mental military pu In the last session he endeavored 'to get the bill through, and when opposition was offered he retortcd that he had waited patiently for an opportunity to press his‘ bill; that he had frequently yielded to other measures, and he thought it high time that some spirit of accommodation was shown him. Early in the present Won he gave notice that at an early day he would ask for the consideration _of that bill. That was the last time he ever addressed the pre- siding ofiicer of the senate in- his official capacity. His last speech'in the senate on a subject of sufficient importance to demand previous preparation was in defense of his course with regard to tho Payne case. The Republicans of Ohio charged that Sen- ator Payne‘s seat had been obtained by bribery and strong party pressure was brought to bear on the committee on privi- leges and elections to order an investigation. Senators Logan, Evarts and Teller joined with the Democrats in reporting that there wasno evidenceto maintain the charge of bribery. For this they were violently as- sailed, and Gen. Logan. in a lengthy speech, defended his course and denounced his as- sailente. It has been determined that the funeral services of Senator Logan will take place in the senate chamber on Thursday; that the services will be conducted by the Rev. Dr. Newman, of the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal church, and that the remains will be placed in a temporary vault here. LAMAR’S ESTIMATE. What a Political Opponent Says of Gen. Logan. MACON, Ga., Doc. 28.—Meeting Secretary Lunar, a press representative asked if he had heard of the death of Gen. Logan. “Yes,” replied the secretary, “I have just read the particulars with profound regret and sur- prise, for when I saw Gen. Logan a short time ago he was robust in person and bright and strong in mind. We went to congress about the same time many years ago, and with the exception of the interval of the war I have known Gen. Logan well. It. is difiicult to do full justice to one’s friendly contemporaries. It may be impossible to do scant justice to a political opponent. There was much to admire and respect in the make- up of Gen. Logan. He lived and died an honest, poor man, when it would have been easy to have accumulated riches. This alone was an example > to the young and aspiring men of this country worthy of the highest commendation, and the death of such a man is a public calamity. “Intellectually he was underestimated by his opponents, not fully appreciated by near friends, and hardly overestimated by his warmest partisansandadmirers. He entered a congress which contained such men as Stephens, Henry Winter Davis, Barksdale, Keitt, Pugh, Crawford and others, when the high debates were on that culminated in the late war; and in this company he bore him- self always well to the front. After the war he saw continuous service all through the numbered amongst its members Thurman, Beck, Hill and others. Though not an epi- grammatic man he possessed intellectual in- trepidity, a supreme faith in the truth of any 4 cause that he espoused, and was never crushed in‘debate. A man who _can show a continuous. record of such service is far re- moved from one of ordinary calibre. “With him, thought and action were al- most simultaneous, yet he was more cautious and circumspect than his appearance or mode of attack might indicate. He wasas resolute in purpose as he was honest in conviction. Perhaps his greatest parliamentary effort was his arraignment of Fitz John Porter. He bore the burden of this great debate, and was fully entitled to all of the credit. He stood firmly by his judgment in defiance of the great weight of the opinion of Gen. Grant, his comrade, political and personal friend. He was a kindly man in his relations. Open and sincere himself, he was never suspicious of others. , - “He was fair and frank in his suggestions to the oflciala'of the government to a degree that commanded their attention and respect. The death of such a man is a 103 to the gov- ernment and the people.” Gen. Logan’s Friends. BnoonrN, Dec. 28.-A meeting of war veterans of Kings county was held last night in the city council chamber for the purpose of expressing sorrow for Gen. Logan’s death. Gen. H. W. Slocumpresided, and he and several other prominent veterans spoke feel- infly of the loss of their friend and fellow soldier. Suitable resolutions were adopted, and it was determined to start a movement in favor of a suhcription fund for Mrs. Logan. A grand entertainment for this purpose is suggested. .

New Jersey's Senator. le 'Yonx, Dec. 28.-An Evening Post special from Trenton, N. J., says: Governor Abbott will be chosen United States senator, and it is confidently asserted that Senator McPherson will succeed Mr. Manning as see- retary of the treasury. Mr. McPherson is quoted as making this statementin private. Your correspondent can vouch for the state- ment as coming from the senator. Secretary of State Kelsey is, it iaaaid, to be reappointed by Governor-elect Green, and if not chosen senator, Mr. Stockton will succeed Chancellor Runyon. William Pintard cannot probably be chosen clerk, as W. S. Throckmorton and be are from the same county, and the. latter thinks he will be speaker. Natural Gas Causes a Strike. Pl'r'rsmma, Dec. 28.—A large number of the employee in the hammer department of the Black Diamond steel works have went on strike on account of what they term injustice on the part of the firm. 0n frequent occa- sions of late the men have lost time on ac- count of the failure of the supply of natural gas at the mill. The men complained, and allege that they were promised full pay for time lost from this cause. 0n receiving their money Saturday they found that the lost time had been deducted as usual. Their losses in some instances amount to 815. They protested, but to no purpose, and refuse to work until, satisfactory arrangements are made. An Accident with Singular Results. listen occurred near Tipton yesterday after- noon. The engineer of a Panhandle passenger train failed to slow up at the crossing of the Lake Erie andWestern road, where a freight train was standing across the Panhandle track.

A barrel was procured in- stead, and the train ca'mo onto this city with- out losing any time. Qteferrod Death to an Asylum.

AJournal reporter recently visited Prof. Tucker for the pu se of gaining further information in re erence to the baking powder question. He was found 'in the , extensive laboratory of the Medical College, hard at work, but good naturedly sub- 'mitted to an inquisitorial interview, the substance of which, here given, will be found of interest. “Doctor," said the reporter, “it appears that one of our local baking powder man- facturers attempts to discredit the report some time ago published in the Journal with reference to baking powders, for which the analytical examinations were made by yourself and Prof. Mason. Were yonr analysis and opinion printed correct- y. “The were,” replied Prof. Tucker, “literal y.” - “Is there any part of the report, or of your .views expressed therein, that you would modify?” “Not a word. My examination was most carefully and accurately made; the deductions I drew from the tests were the inevitable ones, and the opinions I ex pressed were unquestionably correct." “You say. Doctor, that the Royal bak- ing powder is superior to any other baking powder which you have examined ?" “That is my report.” “Have you examined many other baking powders?" ' “ uite a number." ' “ herein, Doctor, consists this superi- ority which you find in the Royal over other brands i" “As stated in my report, in the great purity of its ingredients, in the unques- tioned propriety and wholesomeness of these ingredients, in the exact roportions of the same, and the chemiea accuracy and skill with which they have been com- bined. As I said before, it is, I believe, a baking powder ‘unequalled for purity, strength‘and wholesomeness.’ ” “Doctor. the Journal’s lady readers would like you to inform' them what are the peculiar virtues of a good baking powder over other and more old faslhoned methods of raising ~brcad, biscuit and cake." . “That would require a long answer, something in the nature of a lecture. Briefly, however, the advantage of such a baking powder over yeast consists in the, quicker work it accomplishes, in the pres- ervation of some of the best elements of the flour which are destroyed in the pro- duction of the carbonic acid gas by the use of yeast. and in the absolute certainty of sweet, light and digestible food. Over other methods for quick raising, themerits of a pure baking powder are great. It is always ready for use, the acid and alkali are combined in exact proportions to pro- duce definite results. or to render the largest amount of leavening gas and leave nothing e than a neutral residuum, which is not the result where cream of tartar and soda are bought separately and mixed in the kitchen, for it will always occur where this is done that one or the other of these substances wili predomin- ate, making the food yellow, heavy, bitter and unwholesome. Busides the cream of tartar which can be procured by the house- keeper is mostly a ultcrated, adding to the uncertainty of the results or the unwholesomeness of the food. All these difiiculties are avoided in the use of a pure, properly-made baking powder." “Will baking powders keep? How long will they hold their stren th ?" “If properly made unti used. A per- fect baking powder must combine superla- tive strength with power to retain it in. definitely. Baking powders are generally robbed of the necessary preserving agent in order to give present, strength, or else have their efficiency largely destroyed by the addition of large quantities of flour to prevent the premature decomposition. The method by which both these qualities are retained in the highest degree pro- duces the perfect article, and this Ibelieve is fully accomplished in the R0 al baking powder. I have seen an arm vsis of a baking powder which showed 21 per cent. of Rochelle salts. The baking powder was not fresh, and because of the im- pr0pcr manner in which it had been made the ingredients had combined, forming the purgative salt. I give this as an illus- tration of those baking powders whose keeping qualities are sacrificed to present strength. How to get both strength and keeping quality is the secret of baking powder success.” ' ..____. CONDENSED NEWS.

The monev received will be applied as follows :— Twenty-five cents is at once credited to the Grant Fund. The remaining twenty-five cents, after deducting the legitimate expenses of advertising names with their respective answers, etc., etc.. will be placed in a common fund to be equally dlvrdad among the all: successful competitors. 1. e. the six persons sendleg in the largest lists of En nan words (proper nouns included) made from t e sentence ‘ Who will be our next president?" The magnitude of the prizes will depend on‘thc amount of money received, or in other words on the number of competitors. ' Communications open until February 15, 1887 12 o’clock.

The names of competitors will be published from week to week in mice as they may come in This will not only serve as an acknowled ent of the room t of the money. etc., but will a so serve to show t e weekly progress of the fund.
