The Armory.
As we go to press we learn that the
, Official report of the Hartford Architect
and eXpert Mead, is not yet completed,
but it is known that no attempts at fraud,
as charged, are to be found. That while
some trivial matters will require finishing
up, in the general result, they report that
the State will receive some sis hundred
dollars value in work and material over
and above what was called for by the
builder’s contract, concluding with a
recommendation that the armory be at
once accepted.
P. S.--Tllc armory has been accepted
by the state, and turned over to General
Olmstead.

Town Court.
We do not think the South Norwalk
papers treat Senator Hill justly in their
comments on the Town Court. It is en-
terely evident that the journalistic part of
our ambitious little neighbor . does not
want our taxes reduced by the organiza-
tion Of a town court. We, are truly sorry
for this. Yet we are certain that their con-
stituency, when they .come to understand
what such a court would secure for them,
would be found as earnestly for it as citi-
zens Of the borough. .It may serve a tem-
poraripurpose to mislead the public, but
in the long run it is safest‘aud wisest and
more honest not to dose. :‘So far as we
know there has been nodesire at the bor-
ough to make this town court a question
of either partisan or personal advantage.
The ouehonest wish up here is to reduce
our police court expenses, and give our
people a local convenience in trials and
issues for small amounts.
the sure result in Danbury, Stamford and
other towns that have adopted the system.
It certainly ought not to prejudice the
measure, even in the minds of the editors
of the Republican or Sentinel, because a
meddlesome party, not a citizen of Nor-
wa 1:, has assumed to take charge of the
matter.

Easter.
Our Norwalk churches made elaborate
preparations for Easter week. In St.
Mary’s the services of the week were un-
usually interesting. The music, decora-
tions of flowers, etc., were supurb. Our
floral friend, Peter Guigue, is entitled, we
are told, to the credit of the magnificent
display of plants :and flowers in this
church, while. the choir earned fresh
laurels of praise for its share in the de-
lightful service.
Auuion service was held at the First
Congregational church on Friday, at
which the new Baptist pastor, Rev. Mr.
C. E. Torrey, delivered a. most eloquent,
beautiful and fervid sermon appropriate
to the occasion. Mr. Tucker, principal of
the Union school, presided at the organ,
in the absence Of Miss Nash; the choir
was reinforced by Messrs. Jones and
Ambler, and Rev. Dr. Anderson. who had
hobbled thither on his crutches, took an
active part in the interesting occasion.
Sunday, at St. Paul’s, the floral Offer.
ings and music were superb; the choir
being augmented by several superior
voices. At 3 p. m. the Easter Sunday
school festival drew Ollt a large crowd of
eager worshipers.
At the Second M. E. church the audi-
ence was unusually large, the music par-
ticularly fine, and the floral decorations
elaborate and beautiful, and a thoroughly
devout service was rendered.
At the First Baptist church the services
were in accord with the spirit of the
Easter sabbath; The ncw‘pastor preached
a sermon ofcxceptioual ability and interest.
At the First Congregational church one
of the most delightful Sunday school ser-
vices, interspersed {with responsive read-
ings and sacred songs, were conducted by
the disabled pastor, who appeared on
crutches. It was the verdict of good
judges that better singing and playing of
the organ had not been heard in that
church within the memory of the living.
In the evening Mr. Anderson preached
from the specially appropriate text: "Let
him, who thinketh he standetll, take heed
lest he fall ;” and enforced from it some
very practical life lessons.

Discussing Art.
A promiscuous crowd stood viewing the
divers attractions in Gregory’s Drug Store
the other day, when one good, motherly
looking Hibernian said to her companion,
“ Look, Mrs. Dufiy, here’s the pictllur of his
nibs, the Prisfdint. himself, shure.”
“ No, Mrs. Finuigan, indade it’s not, it’s
Misthul‘ George Nash, what’s livin’ on the
Park, don't yes nloind ?”
“Well shine and it is, but I thot it wor
I’risidint (Slavelaud or some other 'thru
dimmycrnt ” ’
“ A dimmycrut, did yes say, Biddy; shurc
that couldn’t be, for don’t yes see the clane,
while face of the men; shure and wllin did
yes iver see such a blached out nose on a
dimmycrat.”
At this stage of the argument a stranger
kindly informed the disputauts that they
were both in error,- as the picture was in-
tended to represent the benign countenance
of our ever popular Town Clerk, H. K.
Selleck.

Dofngs of the Legislators.
The 80 per cent; Weekly Payment bill
has passed the House—81 to 63.
The bill establishing trade unions and
guilds, and giving them power to sue and
be sued, was killed in the House by in-
definite postponement.
The Senate passed the Protective Tariff
bill by a vote to 19 to 2.
The Senate has passed the Tax Com-
missioner bill in all amended form. the
orginal bill being rejected in the House
Senator Bates worked hard for the mea-
sure, and it will probably pass the House
as amended.

Women Want Saloon Screens Abolished.
The Women of Burlington, N. J. object
to young men frequenting the saloons.
They have been trying to discover who
the youths arevin order to expostulate
with them and if necessary subject them
to some sort of social ostracism, but the
screens in front of the saloons hide the in-
teriors. Consequently the Women’s
Christian Temperance Union sent a peti-
tion to the Common Council asking that
saloon-keepers be prohibited under a
heavy penalty from keeping screens in
their establishments.

OBITUARY
Mrs. A. F. Bishop.
The death of this estimable lady, which
occurred at her resideuCe on Mott Place,
at a quarter to eleven Friday evening last,
came with all the agonizing shock of un-
expected suddenuess. Mrs. Bishop was
the second daughter of the late Hon.
MASON CARTER, and was a lady most highly
beloved and esteemed by all who knew
her. She had contracted a severe cold a
few days only prior to her deceasc, which
rapidly developed into fatal pneumonia.
It was not until a few brief hours prior to
her departure, when complication with
an old heart difficulty began to manifest
itself, that her condition was deemed crlti-
cal. Everything that medical skill," the
devotion of husband, sons and friends
could do, were unavailiug to avert the in-
exorable stroke of death. He: strong
mental powers held their sway even to the
end, and she was fully conscious that her
feet were pressing the shores of that dark
river that separates this mortal from im-
mortal life. In her domestic life the high.
est type of filial duty, wifely fidelity and
motherly love and devotion were con,
stautly exemplified. All these noblest
traits of a true and exalted womanhood
she now leaves as the richest possible le-
gacy to husband, children, mother, sisters
and brother, oil so terribly bereaved. ,
Yesterday, all that was mortal of her, was
laid to rest beside the sweet babe “ gone
before," and whose angel arms outstretched
in eager rapture, came to usher the dear
mother's released and radiant spirit
through the pearly gates of paradise.
Above the mound where her sacred dust
returns to dust again, the green grass will
grow, the early spring flowers will bloom
and kiss thesunbeams, and smile, and drOp
their pearly tears of dew ; the wild-birds
will greet the morning with their songs of
joy; the great world will roll on in its
ceaseless whirl, but never, while life lasts.
will the memory of the good Wife and
Mother, fade frOm" the memories of the
stricken ones who now ln'ourn her irre-
parable loss.
“ Yet we on divers shores new cast,
Shall meet again (our perilous voyage past)
All in our Father’s home at lastl”
Mrs. Frank Hastings.
Mas. ANNIE HASTINGS was the daughter
of Hiram Green, Esq., who lives on Main
street, a little this side of ‘Winnipauk.
She had married and settled in Meriden,
and last week she died at her home in
that city, leaving a husband and one child
to deplore her unexpected death. ‘Her'
funeral took place on Saturday ‘ afternoon
from her father’s home. Her death was
sudden and untimely, and she leaves a
home made uuspeakably desolate to bus—
band and child. A wide circle of loving
relatives and friends wdl ever cherish a
recollection of her many attractive qual—
ities. How truly may it be said of her,
whose bright spirit-has been so suddenly
called to realms celestial :—
“The good die first.”
Earnest Crossman. '
Mr. Crossman, (a son of Joseph P.
Crossmau, of Norwalk) while adjusting
some pulley hangers on the ceiling in a
shop In Bridgeport last Thursday, he.
came dizzy, as is supposed, and, losing
his balance, fell and struck the back of
his head against the sharp edge of a lathe
standing beneath him. His skull was
fractured, and, though taken to the hos-
pital and everything possible done for
him, he soon died from his injury. He
leaves a young wife and one child. Mr.
0. had many friends here in Norwalk, his
boyhood’s home, and his sudden death
was a sad shock to them, and an almost
uneudurable grief to his parents. His
remains were brought to; Norwalk Satur-
day and sepulchred here yesterday.
Edward Hands.
Edward Hands, an aged resident of
Net-walk, died at his residence on Beldeu
avenue, early Monday morning. 'Mr.
Hands buried his Wife a. few months since,
and‘has been failing in health ever since
that :errible affliction, and now he has
gone to join her in the spirit world.
1 James T. Pratt.
Gen. James T. Pratt of Rocky Hill died
Monday in his 85th year. He was promin-
ent in military affairs of the State, and
was very active ill politics. He was ill
Congress in 1855 and ill the Legislature
many times as a Democrat. He was de-
feated by Buckingham in 1859 for the
Governor-ship. During the war he was
a staunch supporter of the Union.
Samuel Simpson.
Samuel Simpson, brother of General U.
S. Grant’s mother, died Friday last in
Ohio, at the age of ninety-one years. He
was always a favorite relative of the Gen-
crul.
John '1‘. Raymond.
The above popular actor died very sud-
denly Sunday at Evansville, Indiana. “He
was a man of infinite jest,” and ardently
admired and beloved by very widely ex-
tended hosts of friends.

It has been decided by the properau-
thorities that the new armory building
has not been built according to contract
and that is the reason that the armory
fair has been postponed The members
of Companies Fand D had solicitedcon-
tribulions of all kinds from our business
men and housekeepers and the prospects
of a successful fair and supper were quite
flattering and of course, they feel disap-
pointed at the necessary delay.—Norwalk.
correspondent Bridgeport Standard.
No, no, not so fast. It certainly has
not. “been decided" by any “proper au-
thority" (at this writing at least) “that the
new armory has not been built according
to contract.” It is a very improper and a
very impertincnt authority, according to
the general judgment of our Military com-
panies and their friends, who decrdes
that the building is not put up according
to con tract. But the Official report of the
investigating committee will be out in a
few days and that will definitely settle
this controversry.
We understand that—#of the Norwalk
———has been preferring charges again.
This time they are m. Architect Hill and
Contractor Tracy of the armory. While we
do not know either of the gentlemen
charged with dishonesty by this “worthy”
it is safe to say that they are both le-
spected and honest men. There is scarcely
a public man living ill the state, from ex-
Governor Minor and Chief Justice Park,
down to the school officers in the district
where this marplot lives, that has not been
charged by him with dishonesty or some
greater crime.—Hartford Telegram.

Marriage Bells.
One of the most elaborate weddings of
recent years, took place last evening at
the residence of the bride’s father, Wm.
H. Thomas Esq., on East aveluc. His-
daughter, Miss Alice, wedded Capt.
:Grocsbeck of the Arlny. The guests were
numerous ; the toilets, gifts,“ floral decora-
tions, bridal tables etc. were all as re-
splendent, as wealth, youth and beauty,
could make them.
Reducing the Rate of Interest. '
'The New Jersey House passed the bill

The G. A. R. Bean Bake.
The camp fire, given by Buckingham Post,
G. A. R., last Wednesday evening, was at-
tended by about 250 veterans from all over
the county, and was one of the most mem-
orable camp fires ever given by the Post.
Tables were set the whole length of the
Athemeum Hall, and beans enough were
spread before the hosts to have fed the
whole army of the Potomac. After the as-
semblage had made an irresistible onslaught
on the tables the 250 clay pipes were loaded
and touched off, and, inspired by the odor
of fine-cut Connecticut leaf, and the indis-
putable exhilaration of the crisply baked
Connecticut beans, the atmosphere of the
room was soon freigllted with smoke, wit
and eloquence, and the whole assemblage
was in the best Of spirits and social humor.
Past Commander J. L. Ambler presided
over the festive company with his usual
felicitous tact. The first speech was made
by Past Commander George W. Keeler, of
Post No. 3, of Bridgeport. Rev. Col
Edward Anderson, Department Chaplain,
made the speech of the evening, full of
wit, pathos, humor and reminiscence, and
was frequently interrupted by tumultuous
[applause] and [roarsof laughter.] He
related, among other anecdotes, a scrap of
his experience as Colonel of an Indiana
Cavalry regiment. A Hoosier company,
under command of a Hoosier Captain, re-
ported to him for duty. The Reverend Col-
onel ordered the Captain to form his men in‘
line that he might see what kind Of a com-
pany he had. The captain, whose knowl-
edge of military tactics was somewhat
limited, scratched his head it minute, then
gave orders as follows: “Come, boys, get
into rows, get into rows, d———n it! have a
a little military about you." '
Interesting remarks were made by Liellt. ,
:Cwllran, of Stamford, Past Commander of
Governor’s Stafl'; Commander Lee, of New
Canaan; Commander Edmonds, Ridgefield; _
Commander I Sinclair, Stamford; L Com-
inauder Hendricks, South Norwalk; J. C.‘
Copeland, Bridgeport. and Past Commander
Daley, of Stamford, who gave an interesting
account of his trip to the National Encamp~
ment in California, last year.
The Post was fortunate in having secured
the services of Prof. Alex. S. GibsOn, as
pianist, who. with his characteristic skill,
accompanied the Post’s efficient trio, Messrs.
Ambler, Partrick and Dr. McGouegal, the
whole company joining in the inspiring"
choruses to the grand old national songs,
which were sung With a fervor that waited
their melody to the ears of the residents
living a dozen blocks away.

Unrivaled American Ingenuity.
In the matter'of ingenuity the American
people lead the world. More applications
for patents are granted at the Patent Office
Washington, than in any two countries of
Europe. Great Britain comes'uext on the
list, France third and Germany fourth. - It
was not until 1836 that the Patent Office
was organized as a scperatc bureau with
a Commissioner and suitable assistants,
for tllc’proper discharge of its duties. It
is rather a singular fact that during that
year only one application for a patent was
filed. The next yearthe number increased
to 106. The increase has steadily grown,
until in 1886 21,797 applications'Werefiled.
The whole number 'Of patents granted
since 1836 is, in round numbers, 355,000.
Patent Attorney George 'R. By'lngton,
formerly of the GAZETTE, whose ad-
vertisement as Solicitor of Patents appears
in another column of to-day’s paper, has
taken out during the past few months,
a large number of patents for inventors
who are now or have been at some pre-
vious time, residents of Norwalk. The
total number of patents issued from the
U. S. Patent Office to residents of Nor-
walk would mount up into the thousands.

Where Did This Impression Come From P
\Vhile Mrs. Colonel Nathaniel Smith, of

lic meeting in the Town Hall, she was
suddenly impressed that she must return
home, and did so—arriving tllerc just in
time to prevent lhe"destruction of her
house by fire, as the flames. which origi-
rated where the stovepipe enters the
. chimney, hadaiready got well under

speedy help and it was soon extinguished.

Here is a little pointer from a competent
observer of the Boston retail market. He
says: “If I were starting out in trade I
should want 'sutllcient capital to enable
me to advertise freely. As a rule, those
cople who advertise freely get the trade.
f you will name the three largest adver-
tisers in any town I will name the three
firms that sell the most goods.” We be-
lieve the same is true of the retail business
in town. The merchants who advertise
most sell the most goods.

The first was in Washington, that
grand capital of which every patriot may
well be proud, enclosing so many stately
public edifices, 'so beautiful ‘ homes, so
many lovely parks, and broad sunny,
well-paved avenues and streets, rapidly
extending and being built on in all di'
rcctions. Let every citizen who can af-
ford it visit Washington and take his
wife and children, whose education as
Americans will not l e complete until they
have seen the magnificent Capitol and
Presidential mansion, and lofty and spaci-

State, War, and Navy, Treaéury, Patent
Office, Post Office, Smithsonian, Agricul-
tural, National Museum, etc., all over-
looked by the towering and unique monu-
ment to “The Father of the Country,"
'whose home at Mount Vernon must be
included in the pilgrimage.
We worshiped on the Sabbath with a
very large congregation ill the New York
Avenue Presbyterian church where we
heard a good sermon by the pastor, Rev.
Wm. Alvin Bartlett, D. D., and in St.
John’s ancient Episcopal church on Jack-
son Square, wherc we listened-to the
chants audresponses of thehdouble choir
of surpliced young men and boys; and to
an evangelical lenten discourse; and'iu
the plain but spacious Congregational
church where pastor Newman preached
well, and a blind-organist played well,
especially upon the coxhumana stop.

mond, sitting, like Rome, on many hills,
a city. of much interest and beauty; "The
chief points aremtbc State Hou,s,e.“wilh

its historic. St. John’s church and yard,
etc.
Here we worshiped with the Grace St.
Presbyterian church, which Rev. C.'~H.
Read, D. D,, a native 'of Reading, Conn.,
is pastor emeritus and Rev. Dr. Drew
acting pastor; their beautiful house,
erected largely through the efforts of Dr.
Read, takes the place of that destroyed in
the cofiagration kindled by the confederate
troops, when they evacuated Richmond,
to consume the stores they were compelled
to leave. -‘ - ‘ '
We also heard the Rev. Moses D. Hoge,

of which he has been the distinguished
pastor forty years and also in ,tlle.spacious
hall over the market in a churchless part
of the city where he is doing a grand
