Our legislature, as guided and directed
by a notorious railroad lobby, and of
which the New York and New Haven
railroad is, as usual, reputed to be the
chief sinner, is in great danger of impos-
ing on the towns of Connecticut a burden
of taxation aggregating, in the opinion of
prudent men, notless than $5,000,000.
We refer to the bill relating to railroad
grade crossing. The measure provides
for changes of not less than two or more
than five per cent. annually, and appor-
tions the expense between the railroads
and the state. Amendments to allow
roads desiring to change a greater num-
ber of crossings than five per cent.,
appropriating for the purpose such ad-
ditional amount of taxes received from
the railroad as may be desired. One
speaker said that President Clark, of the
Consolidated road, is anxious to change
at least fifty per cent. of the grade cross-
ings on that road this year. Another
amendment, which passed, provided “that
each road shall pay thirty per cent. only
of the cost; and in addition thereto three
I per cent. of such cost for every one per
cent. of the amount of its capital stock
paid out by it in dividends during the
next year percediug the date of the order
(or change), and the remaining cost by the
state." A New Britain representative
characterized this as an adroit and bare-
faced scheme designed to give back the
taxes to the railroads for their own
benefits. In the deliberate judgment of
wise and upright men it is a cunniugly
devised scheme to place the heavy burden
of these railroad grade crossing changes
almost wholly on the towns and taxpayers
of the state, while the roads get their
franchises of collossal value free from the
people.
We warn every member of the legisla-
ture, in their own and the people’s best
interests, not to be caught in the dis-
reputable business of giving their aid to
so nefarious a scheme of public plunder
for the enrichment of these soulless rail-
road corporations.

NORWALK MFG. INDUSTRIES.
The Smith Pottery Company.
The public will be=rejoiced to know
that Norwalk’s oldest manufacturing in-
dustry, the Asa Smith pottery works, is
not to be permitted to go out of existence,
but. on the contrary, is thoroughly re-
organized and in the hands of our ablest
business men as managers. A joint stock
company, as stated by us last week, has
been formed with sufficient capital to ex-
tend the business to the full capacity of
the works and demands of the market.
Hon. Asa Smith will be its manufacturing
superintendent, and Captain Enoch Wood
will be his able and efficient assistant. It
is expected that Major Holmes will be
president of the new company, and E. 0.
Keeler secretary and treasurer. Shares
are $25 each, and the stockholders to
date as follows :—William H. Thomas,
Warren Fitch, William A. Curtis, E. K.
Lockwood, George R. Cowles, each ten
shares; J. T. Prowitt, Ira Cole, George
E. Miller, George M. Holmes, E. O.
Keelcr, A. J. Meeker. Thomas S Morison,
Mrs. Thomas H. Morison and James W.
Hyatt, each twenty shares. The new
stockholders propose to purchase the en-
tire property, which can be had of the
mortgagees at a low figure, and will there-
fore issue additional stock for that pur-
pose. The right parties can purchase
these sirares at par by calling on Cashier
William A. Curtis at the Central National
Bank. With such management as the
above list of stockholders assures, the
pecuniary success of the pottery business
is believed to be guaranteed in advance.
The Union Manufacturing Company.
The death of President A. F. Bishop
necessitates the reorganization of the
ofllcial staff of the Union Manufacturing
company. Among the many possible
candidates mentioned as Mr. Bishop‘s
successor are Wm. BIE. Lockwood, E.
K. Lockwood, Dr. Coolidge, George R.
Cowles, John Henry Olmstead, William
R. Nash. Mr. Cowles and Mr. Nash seem
to be in the lead, the former having a
large block of stock, including the S. E.
Olmstcad estate’s large interest, while the
latter is said to have the 1,300 shares of
Mr. George G. Bishop behind him. An-
other scheme mentroned is an endeavor to
secure the services of Mr. Eugene L.
Boyer, of the Lounsbrrry & Bissell com-
pany, to take this vast manufacturing
business into his personal keeping. A
very superior business man would be
found in Mr. Boyer could he be secured,
but it is due to Mr. Nash to say that no
one now living is as familiar with the ins
and outs of that great concern as he.

Lecture.
The last lecture of the Bissell school
course, which was necessarily deferred
on account of the accident which befel
Rev. Dr. Anderson, will be given this,
Wednesday waning, at the Congregational
chapel. The subject is “The Origin of
the English Tongue,” and so ready and
eloquent a tongued orator as Dr. Ander-
son is sure to give a most instructive and
entertaining lecture, and the audience
ought to be limited only by the capacity
of the chapel.

OBITUARY.
Charles C. Brooks.
Another Norwaik home has been in-
vaded by the silent monitor death An
aged father and grandfather, beloved and
revered by children and grand-children,
at the ripe old age of more than four
score years, “fell on sleep,” the sleep that
knows no waking. Mr. Brooks was the
father of Mrs. Geo. E. Miller, with whom
he had lived, during the afternoon and
sunset of his long life. He was a younger
brother of the late Capt. Brooks of Bridge—
port, so well known to old Norwalk resi-
dents, as commander of the steamer
Nimrod. The deceased possessed many
of the strong mental traits of the elder
brother. He was genial and generous in
his disposition, but firm as the adaman-
tiue rocks in matters of conscientiorrs
conviction, to tiroroughly honest and up-
rigirt man. He has been in declining
health for a considerable time, brrt his
dissolution was all unexpected and came
with distressing suddenncss. His funeral
will be attended this Wednesday after--
noon at 3 p. m. from the residence of Mr.
Miller on High St. ~
Mrs. Julia. Ayes Carter. '
Week before last we recorded the death
of Mrs. A. F. Bishop, the eldest daughter
of Mrs. Carter. Last week it was our
painful duty to publish the death notice
of Mr. Bishop, the husband and son-in-
law, with an expression of the apprehen-
sion that the mother, then seriously ill,
could not recover. Mrs.Carter came from
New Jersey to nurse her sick daughter
and fell a prey to her fatal illness as did
the husband and son, and on Saturday
last she too waslaid at rest beside the two
members of her family “gone-before”
Such a terrible bereavement in one family
it has seldom or ever been our lot to re-
cord. Mrs. C. was the widow of the late
Hon. J. M. Carter and a lady of marked
refinment, social graces and christian
character. Peace and rest for the de-
parted and a whole community's sincerest
sympathies for the bereaved survivors.
Mrs. Hannah Scott.
This venerable and truly good “mother
in Isreal" departed for, her celestral rest
last Wednesday morning, in her 87th
year, at her life long home 111 North
Wilton. She was beloved by all who knew
her and was the widow of the late Samuel
Scott of honored memory.
James 11. Man,
Chief clerk to the First Assistant Post-
master—General, died in Washington yes-
terday morning. He was born in Mary-
land on Nov. 10, 1810, and has been fifty-
six years in the continuous service of the
Post Office Department, beginning with
the Administration of President Andrew
Jackson.
More Railroad Scheming.
President Sperry, of the Derby raliroad,
at a hearing before New Haven’s board of
finance, the other evening, let a little
light in upon the railroad situation, which
has been somewhat enveloped in smoke of
late. The New York and New England
company are trying to buy the city’s inter-
est in this road, and Mr. Sperry himself is
a bidder, as he is desirous of protecting
the Star-in boat line. He said that a pro—
jectis on foot to force the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad company to
consolidate with the New England road,
and pay thelatter four percent. dividends.
He asserted that he knew what he was
talking about, for Ire had been informed
by those on the inside of the matter. Tire
Cansolidatcd road will fight this thing as
long as they can. but in his judgment the
consolidation is coming. That is the only
way the New England road can be made
to pay, and that is what this whole fight
is for. Underground wires are being
worked in this matter and if the New
England people can possibly force the
New York, New Haven and Hartford road
to make terms with them they will do it,
continued Mr. Sperry, who reiterated that
he knew what he was talking about.
Other railway Officials, upon being inter-
viewed, claimed that they hadn’t heard of
any such scheme. One thing is certain,
holders of Consolidated stock are buying
blocks of New England stock. It will be
interesting to watch the course of events.
A survey is in progress for a railroad
from the proposed site of the Peeksk‘ill
suspension bridge, via Purdy’s station to
Ridgefield, Derby and New Haven. It is
not known definitely in the interest of
what scheme this survey is being made,
but both the Consolidated and New En-
gland are credited with being bclriud ii.
~——<+>——
Future “Consolidated” Improvements.
The directors of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad company have
ordered the fourtracking of the road from
New Rochelle to Rye, and the work will
be pushed to completion as soon as possi-
ble. It is expected by the company to
have four tracks as far as New Haven
before many more years have passed, and
the scheme involves a number of other
improvements, such as straightening the
line, reducing the grades and curves and
lowering the running time. “Much of the
grading has already been done,” said
Superintendent Schotield, Saturday, “but
we have had to wait for rails which we
ordered but iravc been unable to get on
time. There are a good many curves in
the road as it now exists.
many years ago, when railroad construc-
tion was not understood as it is at present.
The builders had to go around Stamford.
Nor-walk, Westport and other places be-
cause the townspeople wouldn't let them
come near the villages. The old towns
have grown slowly, while new places,
such as South Norwalk, have sprung up
near the stations and flourished wonder-
fully. In those days, too, railroad builders
went around everything—hills, towns and
graveyards. Now we are ghiug to take
out the loops and get as near straight line
as possible, but of course we can't shift
our tracks through towns. Four tracks
will be the biggest kind of a irelp to us;
and we will have'them as soon as they are
to be had."

What They Say of Us. .
Yesterday was a banner day for the Y.
M. C. A. work in this state, a new associa-
tion being formed at Norwalk amid mucir
enthusiasm. The district convention was
held there Friday and Saturday with in-
teresting meetings. State Secretary Law-

city were the principal speakers at the
meetings yesterday, ably seconded by the .

Dr. Anderson was ;

obliged to remain seated on account of a

ty of the work. In the morning Secretary
Colley appealed chiefly to the business
ruen of the town, cited the interest busi-
ness men took in the Bridgeport association
and gave an account of the work among
employes of various branches of trade.
Secretary Lawrence also urged the busi-
ness men to take hold of the project. A
male quartette furnished fine singing. A
meeting was held for men at 3 o'clock in
the afternoon. At the evening meeting
there were 1,100 people present and the
pews and aisles were filled. Secretaries
Lawrence and Colley again addressed the
assemblage and afterwards subscriptions
were received towards starting the Nor-
waik association. Rev. Mr. Torrey of the
Norwalk Baptist church had this in charge
and the amount pledged resulted in the
encouraging sum of $1,075. It was the
most enthusiastic association meeting of
the kind ever held in the state. One gray
haired gentleman arose and stated he had
four sons lying in the church yard and he
wished there had been a Young Men’s
Christian Association in Norwalk when
they were alive. But he was interested
in other men's sons and be subscribed $100.
Another gentleman pledged $100, and
offered the use of a building rent free for
one year. A secretary will be engaged
and the association will soon be in run-

Housekeeeers of Connecticut, Attention !
B. A. Atkinson & Co., of‘ Boston, Mass.,
whose advertisement appears in the columns
of' this paper, being anxious to prove to the
people of the state of Connecticut that they can
show the Largest Line and Belt Assortment of
useful House Furnishing Goods at the very
LOWEST PRICES to be found in America,
make the following liberal offer.
Any person from any part of the state of
Connecticut buying $50.00 worth of goods from
them will receive their fares one way; if they
purchase $100.00 worth or more they will
allow fares for man and wife one way, or both
ways for one person, and in all cases they de-
liver goods free to any depot in the state.
This will hold until further notice through'
the paper.
This offer is made, first, because they are
very anxious to establish a large trade in
Connecticut; second, to avoid sending agents
through the state.
We are in receipt of thousands of letters
every week asking for catalogues which we
take pleasure in sending; at the same time we
can see that, if alter looking over our styles
and prrcea. a housewife thinks of buying, it is
often better to come and select for themselves,
and we feel that this liberal offer of paying the
fares one way if they purchase $50.00 worth,
and both ways it they purchase $100.00 worth,
and will be appreciated by the intelligent
people of Connecticut.
Awaiting your early calls and trusting we
may have the honor of showing you through
our enormous emporium and securing your
valued patronage,you may rest assured we
shall use our most earnest endeavors to please
you in style of goods and satisfy you in point
of price.
