That Town Court.
We are at a loss to understand why, qt
least, our Senator, Mr. E. J. BILL, has not
more earnestly urged the passage of the
Town Court Bill for Norwalk, now lying
dormant before the Legislature. No
measure has been brought to the attention
of the Legislature for years, fraught with
more substantial benefits to our people and
tax-payers, than this everyway meritorious
Bill. Judge BREWSTER assured us, years
ago, that a similar court at Dnnbury had
resulted in a great diminution of trivial
and useless prosecutions, where the only
special motive and only result seemed to
be to put a few paltry fees into the pockets
ofa class of impecunious town officers,
and frequently at the expense of the public
treasury. The new Court, up there. had
even done more, it had proved a source of
revenue to Danbury. Danbury. before its
town court was created, used to suffer
the same heavy raids on its treasury, for
criminal and other trivial trials, that we
have, year after year, groaned under here.
We believe this town, with one such court
established at South Norwalk, and another
at the borough, would save our taxpayers
from one to two thousand dollars a year,
and what is of even greater moment, do
away with the present degrading scandal
that is at least fixed in the beliefs of all our
best citizens, that more than half of all the
justice prosecutions, now and hitherto
going on here, are for no better purpose
than to wring the fees out of the unfortun-
ate culprits or the unfortunate taxpayers.
If this bill is not passed. or some other
redress supplied this town, there will be a
serious reckoning not far in the future.
The best sentiment of a people feeling
themselves robbed and wronged, in this
regard, will not much longer tolerate the
outrages in the way of frivolous arrests
and the costs made in the trials of paltry
cases as now too frequently disgrace our
local justice courts. _
We can comprehend why Representa-
tive FEBRIB may not desire to be specially
earnest or olficious as to the passage of
this Court Bill, for he, as we learn, is under
the impression that a majority of his im-
mediate constituents do not desire it. If
this be so, as we doubt, it only goes to
prove that said “ majority ” have not given
the subject due investigation and con-
sideration. Of course any one can con-
jecture why the constables. grand jurors,
trial justices and public prosecutors, down
there, may not desire the enactment of a
reform that is sure to diminish their in-
comes as town or city officials. We can
also surmise why Representative BRADY,
who is a borough grand juror, may not
wish to run down or over Senator HILL,
in his enthusiastic offorts to secure the
passage of abill which he knows, (if he
has taken pains to inform himself) that
every respectable citizen of the borough
who is not pecuniarily interested in a con-
tinuance of the old system, with all its
abuses. desires. But why Senator HILL
should dodge this issue, or show himself
Still Consolidation.
A “railroad man, who has good oppor—
tunities for knowing how things are shap-
ing,” confides the following to the omni-.
present railroad editor of the Bridgeport
Morning Now:
“It is true the New England party
have not purchased the New York road,
and are not likely to, but the two roads
will be run together just the same.
would be practically impossible to buy a
It
controlling interest in the Consolidated
'without taking a long time-perhaps sev-
eral years to do it. The stock is held
mainly in small lots by investors and
comes on the markets very slowlv. But
there will be some sort ofa Consdlidation
between the roads. The election of
Charles P. Clark as president of the Con-
solidated, is one of the things that will
bring it about. It is true'the word has
gone forth from the Consolidated manage-
ment that the policy of ex.President Wat-
rous will be continued, and it is known
he opposed consolidation with the New
England, but that won’t last long. .That
promise will be broken whenever It be-
comes necessar . Mr. Clark strongly
favored consoli ation when he was presi-
dent of the New-England, and was elected
president of the Consolidated by a board
of directors who were familar with his
former viewlL Nothing has occured to
indicate that his views have changedin
the slightest since that time.
“In my judgment PreSIdent Clark was
elected for the purpose of bringing about
a consolidation. 1f the directors who
elected him were opposed to such a
scheme why put in a man so commit-ted
to that course, as the thing possible be-
tween the rival roads. I think you will
find after a time there will be a gradual
change in. tone on this subject, and one of
these days it will all happen as natural as
anything in the world. Here is allttle
pointer. A man has been at work for
some time down along the shore of the
Sound above Harlem river looking for the
most suitable place to build a great rail-
road terminal. He wants a place where
docks can .be built for shipping, etc., and
where the grade will be all right for
freight car-s. Such a place has been found
and there is another ’ust above. This
man I have reason to elieve is working
for the 'New England interest. and a
scheme of such magnitude means that
something unusual is In the wind.
“Then here is another significant cir-
cumstance that points to consolidation.
The New England party are spreading
out east, west or north, and developing
their system. It is plain to everybody
that the key to their whole plan is an out-
let in New York city. Yet, while moviuh‘
boldly in all other directions, nothing
whatever is being done towards getting
into New York. They have the ousa-
tonie' connection with Norwalk and
Bridgeport, but no way of getting from
either place to New York. They run into
Danbnry and over to the Hudson river
with the New England, but have made'no
attempt to get adequate connecting lines
with New York. They can build to that
place, and enter by the Second-ave. Ele-
vated road, but they don’t try. They can
build a parallel road from Bridgeport or
Norwalk to New York, but not a move is
made. If a parallel must be built no time
should be lost, for it will take a long time
to get such a road in running order, and
in the meantime, they are in pocket. It
looks, therefore, as if they expected to
gain the desired New York connection by a
consolidation, or something of that sort.
~ with the Consolidated road. This solu-
tion would explain their inactivity in the
matter of a connection with that city.”

The Road to Boston.
The New Haven Railroad is in new
bands, and there is great speculation as to
the developments that may occur in its
relations with the two Boston roads, the
New England and the Boston and Albany.
There is also some vehement criticism of
its late management and much censure of
indifferent to it, we can’t well understand.
It isn’t like him. We admonish him in all
kindness to give attention to this bill, on-
less he would like to leve all his political
future behind him. He knows, just as
well as we do, that our position is the
correct one, our statement of the feeling
here undeniable, and that every disinter-
ested citizen at this end of the town, at
least, earnestly desires that bill to pass.
It is not pleasant for us to criticise with
such severity one who has acquitted him-
self so creditably in all other matters before
the Legislature, and especially one we la-
bored so earnestly to send to the Senate.
Here is a bill for a local court that not only
tries police cases, but one before which
foreclosures of mortgages for small
amounts, builder’s liens and factorizing
processes may be brought, without the
waste of time and far greater expense of
going to Bridgeport, ill all these minor
causes. The people of Norwalk want. or
ought to have, a chance at least to test its
many advantages. If it does not prove
successful and pOpular here, as it has
everywhere else where tried, it will be a
very easy matter to repeal the law. But,
if once tried, we are absolutely certain it
will never be changed for any system like
our present abomination. Please, Messrs.
Legislators, give Norwalk a town court.

More Postal Reform (7)
Two weeks and more ago a letter was
mailed us from Bridgeport, which up to
the present time has not arrived.
Last week a letter was sent us from the
Bridgeport Standard, and very plainly
directed to Norwalk, yet it came to us
four days afterwards from Newark, N. J.
March 13th, a valuable package was
mailed us at Washington, also plainly
directed. Sunday morning, the 20th, it
reached us from 'Wobm-n, Mass.
If these were exceptional cases we
would hear them with patience till a
change of administration and of these inex-
perienced and green postal servants, but
they are not. We are glad to exonerate
our Norwalk “postal reformer” from
blame in the above narrated cases, for we
know he means to do all things well. Yet
it does seem as if a blacksmith or even an
editor postmaster might do better in the
way Of “reform” than this.

It Goes On.
At the special borough meeting last
Wednesday evening, Lawyers Hurlbutt
and/Warner made eloquent arguments in
favbr of closing up the mouth of Mechanics
I/strect. and Attorney Perry and others
put in their feeble protests. But in a
little matter of highway encroachment in
Norwalk, about everybody who had been
aroused against the subject had fled or
dunked, so there was nothing left to do
but to let theencroaching edifice go ahead
and soon we shall have the new addltion
and extension completed. Nevertheless
there are many old residents who can re.
member when all the land in front of the
old Thomas building was highway, and
the roadway, now Mechanics street, went
close up the east side thereof. In this
particular case no great injury for the
present, at least, is involved. but isn’t it
about time this thing was stopped?

New Railway Station For Hartford.
The special commission charged with
devising a remedy for the dangerous grade
crossing of the railroads at Asylum street
in Hartford has voted unanimously to
carry out the proposed elevated plan.
The trscks will be carried over the street
on bridges, 16 feet high, the approach-
ments to which will be on solid embank-
ments. A new railway station is to be
built on the New Haven road’s side of the
tracks, and the trains are to be reached
at their various platforms by galleries and
Stairways that avoid the possibility of
stepping upon the rails. It is expected
thatthe whole work will be finished before
1388, and it will be an improvement that
everybody who has occasion to go to Hart-
ford by rail will appreciate.

tist clergyman on Monday. Albert H.
Walker delivered an address on sumptuary
legislation, taking the ground that no
sort of such legislation could enforce alone
the reform against drunkenness; and that
moral and mental forces could he used for

In It 1 Myth 9
We hear frequent inquires as to whether
there is now a Bridgeport and Norwalk
Express or no? We give it up. We can
learn of none such. N‘oneis advertised
anywhere and though we have had fre-
quent occasions for its use ourselves, we
have not been able to learn that itjhas any
the conservative policy that has kept the
property in its present condition. All
thing considered, the New Haven Rail—
road llas not been badly managed by any
means. The position of the company has
been one in which a conservative policy
was perhaps better adapted to its peculiar
circumstances than any other.
It has had two competing railroads con-
necting it with Bostonmone weak, crring,
and irresponsible, and on that account all
the more troublesome; and the other rich,
influential, and the most powerful railroad
corporationin New England. The former
concern, the New York and New Eng-
land, has been in the market more or less
for four or five years, and could at one
time have been bought at a very low
figure. The chief fault found with the
New Haven management is its failure,
under these circumstances. to acquire
possession of the New England road,
thereby giving it acOntinuous line of its
own from this city to Boston. The com-
plaint may be well founded, but there
was a good deal of ground for hesitation,
not the least important consideration
being that sucll a course would probably
have resulted in the building by the Bos-
ton and Albany of a new road from
Springfield to New York parallel to the
New Haven’s tracks This fact, coupled
with unpleasant and embarrassing re-
flections concerning the relationsbetween
his company and the New York Central,
made Mr. Watrous, the late President of
the New Haven, somewhat cautious about
assuming control of the New England. or,
indeed, improving his relations with it in
any degree.
The criticism which is extant about the
physical condition of the New Haven Rail—
road is undoubtedly just. It is not what
it ,ought to be; indeed, it is far from
creditable. There ought to be four tracks
from New York to New Haven. and there
are curves that should be reduced and
bridges that need improvement very
badly. We do not know that these will
be bettercd Iluder the new administration,
but reform ill such matters is more likely
than that any such coalition as is dis-
cussed will be brought about with the
New England road. We do not think it
is on the cards, although when the new
President of the New Haven wasPresident
of the New England it was the very thing
of all others that he professed to have at
heart. Circumstances alter cases.
What Boston and New York need is a
regular five-hour service, and the way in
which to attain it will be found when the
Boston and Albany, the New England,
and the New York and New ,Haven are
consolidated under one management.
Then we shall not only see the New
Haven brought to the right point of per-
fection, but the New England road double-
trackecl and straightened out, with steam-
heated and electrically lighted cars carry-
ing passengersin safety and comfort upon
a schedule of fifty miles an hour. Such a
state of things is not merely possible; it
is inevitable, and we think it will prevail
when some of the cotton seed oil has been
squeezed out of the present management
of the New York and New England ele-
ment in the combination.
It will be a mighty good thing whenever
it happens—Sun.

Another Fatal Fire.
The Richmond House, one of the largest.
hotels in Buffalo, N. Y. was burned down
last Friday morning. It was crowded
with guests and in the panic that followed
the discovery of the flames nearly twenty
persons were killed and burned to death,
several .others injured. The flames were
communicated to Buunell’s Museum build-
ing and another small frame building,
both of which were consumed. The loss on
the buildings is estimated at $500,000.
Among those reported killed was Henry
M. Ramsey, and it was for a time feared
by people in this region that this was the
gentleman of the same name belonging in
Redding. as he was supposed to have been
in the vicinity of Buffalo at the time, but
it has been learned that such was not the
case, the unfortunate Rumsey being a
New York man.
Righteous Sentiment.
Gov. Rusk, of Wisconsin, the man who
put down the riotcrs, in a speech, con-
damning the Cruel acts of Anarchists, Soca-
lists and the like, gave utterance to the
following noble sentiments : “Every-
one’s right to work for himself, or for
anyone else, on such terms as he may
choose to make, must be maintained at all
hounds. He who interferes with this
principle, tramples upon the most sacred
of human rights and upon a consecrated
principle of American liberty.”

Gain In School Children.
There are 153,260 children between four
and sixteen years in the state, a gain of
about 1,100 ill a year. The last enumer-
ation inWindham county was 9,989, again
of 90; in Tolland county, 5,405, gain of 113.
There was a. loss in the counties of Litch-
field and Middlesex. The largest gain was
in New Haven county.
The school fund apportionment for the
children of school age throughout the state
is 75 cents per capita.

the two weeks’ Mission held in St. Mary’s
R. C. church, which was brought to a
close last Sunday. The Mission was con-
ducted under the patronage of the Order
of Dominican Fathers, or Order of Preach-
ers, in which order the late lamented
“Father Tom" Burke was a bright and
shining light. Rev. J. L. O’Neil was
leader of the mission, and was most ably
seconded by Rev. Fathers Turner and

, At the, New Chapel. . -
The good ladies of the First’Congrega-
tioual church had a sort of “good fellow-
ship" or “sistership” meeting last Friday
evening at their new and delightful chapel.
Instead of furnishing a supper as . at first
suggested, the ladies adopted the wiser
course of collecting from friends about
what sncll a repast usually costs,and sup-
plied its deficiencywitll’u higher order of
entertainment. Music, recitations and
social converse filled the evening. One
hundred and seventy-two dollars were
collected and submitted to the pastor,
who read off the amounts with various
witty and appetizing suggestions and quo-
tations. Miss Sadie Miller and Miss Nash
played delightfully on the piano, alld the
latter gave an exquisite rendering on the
reverse side of the big organ. 'Miss
Stewart and Mr. Smith (gave enjoyable
recitations. The evening’s entertainment
proved a happy success.

the old system, and mahy of the worship-
ers assert that the. m ‘1 31 8 never before

Connecticut’s Growth.
The statistics furnished by the state
board of health show that Connecticut’s
population is probably 664,000. About 42
;birtbs occur daily, and 14. marrlages
against 33 deaths. There are 23 births to
every 1,000.0f population and the natural
increment 10. New Haven county pre-
sents the most encouraging growth, and
Litchfield the lowest birth-rate, while
Middlesex the smallest gain of births over
deaths. The total number of births regis-
tered in 1885 was 15,496, marriages 5,091,
