, Ir. Hyatt Returns.
The Hon. James W. Hyatt returned to
Norwalk today, (Tuesday), from Washing-
ton, D. C. He is happy as a lurk, but—oh I
so close mouthed! He expressed himself as
perfectly at ease as to the matter in connec-
tion with which he has come in for such ex-
tensive notoriety and discussion, and says
Barnum is also serene. He would not talk
- about his conferences with the officials in
Washington. however, nor deign a hint as
to the result of his visit. He does say,
though, that he spent a very pleasant hour
in the company of President Cleveland,
whom he enthusiastically pronounces a
genial, companionable, pleasant fellow. He
was pestered to distraction by persistent and
omni-present newspaper men, who came in
droves to interview him, and it was prob.
ably to his Washington visit and experience
that his present caution and reticence in ex-
pressing himself are due.
Oliver Hoyt.
Oliver Hoyt, Stamford’s wealthy, phil-
anthropic and best known citizen, died
Thursday afternoon at his home, from in-
juries received in falling from his carriage
while driving afraetious team, in com-
pany with his wife last week Monday,
Mrs. Hoyt being also injured, but not
seriously. The injuries of deceased, were
fracture of the collar bone, and internal
hurts which reflulted in peritonitis and
caused his death. His sous from New
York were telegraphed and reached home
in time to see him pass peacefully away.
By the bedside were the family of Mr.
Hoyt, and two of his brothers, William
and Mark. His remaining three brothers,
Joseph B., Lyman and Harvey, were ab-
sent, not suspecting that the end would
so soon come. Rev. Dr. James M. Buck-
ley, editor of the Christan Advocate, was
informed while aboard of a train, that
Mr. Hoyt was not expected to live. He had
not suspected that his condition was so
serious. Dr. Buckley got off the train at
Stamford and hastened to Mr. Hoyt"
bedside, which he reached only a short
time before he breathed his last. Gath-
ered in the room were Rev. C. H. Buck,
pastor of the M. E. church, Rev. Dr.
Beach, President of the Wesleyan Univer-
versity and others. ‘
Oliver Hoyt was born in Stamford on
August 23, 1823, at his father’s homestead
on Noroton Hill, and received his early
education in the school of his native
town. At an early age he masteredthe
details of the tanning business, and enter-
ed upon the wholesale leather trade in
Frankfort street, New York, in 1844,
with his brother William, under the firm
name of W.&O. Hoyt & Co. In 1849
the present firm of Hoyt Brothers was
organized and took up its quarters in
Gold street, where it has since remained.
The firm's business is one of the most
extensive of its kind in the city, and for
sound commercial reputation the firm has
no superior.
In banking and insurance Mr. Hoyt had
long borne on active and prominent part.
Of the Park Bank he has been one of the
directors since 1854, and has also served
as a director of the Citizens Bank of
Stamford since its organization. He was
for many years connected in the some
capacity with the Home Fire Insurance
Company and the Phoenix Fire Insurance
Company. In 1872 he was one of the
Presidential electors for Grant, of whom
he was a warm persdnal friend.
In politics he was identified with the
Republican party, but did not accept any
official position until 1877, when he was
elected to the Senate of Connecticut from
his own district. During part of his term of
service he officiated as president pro tem.
of the Senate,and also served on several im-
portant committees. The nomination for
Governor of the State was tendered to him
in 1879, but he declined. He had been a
member of the Union League Club since
1870. General Grant, who was very fond
of Mr. Hoyt, urged him to accept a place
in his cabinet, and would have given him
any position under the government but .
Mr. Hoyt resolutely declined any and all
offers.
The funeral services were held Monday
afternoon at 2o'elock at the Methodist
church, of which deceased was for many
yearsamember. Rev. Dr. J. M. Buckley,
editorof the Christian Advocate, officiated,
with Dr. 'l‘ifiany, of New York, Rev. M.
W. Prince, of Brooklyn, and Rev. C. A.
Buck, the home pastor, as associates.
Company C, 4th Regiment, 0. N. G.
who adopted the name “Hoyt Guards”
out of respect to their distinguished
townsmau, acted as a guard of honor for
the remains. The pail-bearers were
Messrs. Theodore Rushmore, of Mamaro-
neck; Wm. Styles, of Brooklyn; George
I. Sency of New York, and Col. Fred.
Grant, son of late Gen. U. S. Grant, of
New York, Dr. J. S. Dodge, Mr. T. G.
Ritch, Mr. C. 0. Miller and Hon. E. L.
Seofield, of Stamford. The remains lay
in state at the church on Monday night,
giving mourning friends an opportunity
to look for the last time upon the face of
the dead. The Hoyt Guards kept watch
all night. The remains were interred
privately in Woodlawn Cemetery Tuesday
morning.
On Thursday evening Hobbie Post
passed resolutions expressing profound
regret at the demise of one who was al-
ways their friend. The post attended the
funeral in a body. Other organizations
in town will take official action in regard
to Mr. Hoyt’s death.
There wasalargc meeting of the hide
and leather trade at noon Saturday in the
rooms of the Hide and Leather Club, 1
Ferry street, New York, to take action in
regard to the death of Mr. Hoyt, who
was a prominent member of the club.

Norwalk Captures the U. 5. Treasury.
Hon. James W. Hyatt, of Norwalk has
been appointed United States Treasurer.
to succeed Treasurer Jordan, and goes to
Washington to-day to make preliminary
arrangements for the assumption of the
duties of the office. ‘
It was not until last night that even a
rumor of Mr. Ilyatt’s promotion was cir—
culated on the streets, although the matter
was practically settled last \Vednesday.
When asked concerning his appointment
by a Record reporter Mr. Hyatt said that
he was aware of the fact that he
was appointed last Wednesday, but the
fact had been kept a strict secret, and he
was unable to imagine 110w it had leaked
out.——Saturday’3 Record.
The Gazs'i'rs most sincerely hopes the
above positive announcement (which from
later Washington despatcllcs, seems to
have encountered the usual “ hitch”) may
prove true. There is nothing known, to
date why it is not to prove true. Connecti-
cut. gave the Nation about the best Treas-
urer it ever" had in James Gilfilian, who,
before entering the Treasury, was file
editor of ii little country paper at Vernon,
Conn.. and Mr. Hyatt’s whole life as u
financier necessarily equips him fully for
this high position. It looks, however, as
if Mr. Barnum had taken his candidate to
Washington somewhat after the manner
he leads one of his prize Jersey cattle to
the Salisbury Agricultural Fair, adorned
with pink and blue ribbon, and all that,
but not certain of thofirst prize till after
the judges have been around and cxliinined
all other. competitors. But. We most
earnestly hope and trust that Mr. Hyatt
may win his covcled prize.

A Bangor man has two children. a little
girl of six years anda boy some years
older. Both of them are regular attend-
ants upon the First BaptistSunday school.
The other day the boy was out playing
with some young companions and came
home thoroughly frightened,aftcr hearing
seine harrowing ghost stories. He was
trembling all-over and did not dare to go
to bed. His little sistcrlicard him relate
his fears, and looking up into her father’s
faceysaid very wisely: “Papa, I ain’t
afraid of ghosts. Baptists ain’t afraid of
ghosts, are they ?”—Bangor Commercial.
The Fair.
"The great Armory fair closed Saturday
night, with alarge crowd in attendance.
The success of the undertaking was as-
sured from the start. The gross receipts
were in the neighborhood of $2,700, from
must be deducted not far from $800 for
expenses, leaving a net profit of near 32,-
000, a result of which the boys in blue feel
justly proud.
Wednesday evening was “firemen‘s
nlght," and the firemen of the borough
attended in a body, marching to the Ar-
mory, with Chief Engineer Prowitt and
assistants, Franke and Fitch, the fire po-
lice and a drum corps at their head. The
firemen were given the freedom of the
building and were well taken care of.
Thursday evening “Governor’s night,”
found one of the largest crowds of the
week. Gov- Lounsbury and staff arrived
at about 8 o’clock and the Governor was
given a hearty reception. It took him
about two hours to shake the crowd by
hand. The local G. A. R. Posts were in
attendance, and the session was distinct-
ivcly a military one.
The drawing of prizes was a lively and
exciting feature of the fair and full of
agreeable surprises and unwelcome disap-
pointments. Some of the prizes drawn
Saturday night gave rise to the inevitable
plaint from disgruntled ones, of unfair
play. The Saturday evening drawing is
given intbe Evening Post as follows:

Death of William W. Clark.
Another of Norwalk’s most promising
sons has been called away very suddenly.
Our respected fellow citizen and friend,
Oliver S. Clark, mourns for one on whom
he leaned; his daughters and sons are be-
reft of a dearly beloved brother, and, sad-
dest of all, a young wife is plunged into
deepest distress by the disruption of the
tenderest ties that ever boundloving, trust-
ing, happy hearts, and a sweet little girl is
fatherless. Our whole community sympa-
thizes with sorrow stricken relatives and
friends. Young‘,’_Clark, having received
his early education here, in the home, the
school, and the Sundayschool of the First
Congregational church, became a clerk in
the large and well-known Spellman House,
in New York, where his various excellent
qualities won for him the confidence of his
employers, who gave him rapid advance-
ment, and the friendship of his fellow em
ployccs. But impaired health compelled
him to relinquish his residence in Brook-
lyn, and to decline large inducements to
remain with the New York firm. and a
few weeks ago he removed to Daiibury
and formed a co-partnership with his
brothenih—law, Mr. Little, the husband of
his sister Florence His executive ability
and experience gave a new impulse to the
business and promises of a rapid enlarge-
ment and prosperity, but insidious Bright’s
disease culminated, last Wednesday morn-
ing, in sudden death. On Saturday morn-
ing his remains were brought to Norwalk,
after services at his h0me, conducted by
Rev. Dr. Maxwell, pastor elect of the First
Congregational church, assisted by Rev.
S. B. S. Bissell, who also aided Rev. E.
Anderson in the funeral services held in
the house ot the father, in the presence of
a large and deeply afflicted concourse,
among whom were many young men of
the Spellman House, some of whom were
the pail-bearers. Mr. Clark was married
by Mr. Bissell on the 22d of January, 1885,
to Laura A. Ely, one of the daughters of
a patriot soldier who gave his life for his
country, and grand-daughter of Seth Ely,
Esq., who lived and died among us, and a
sister of Mr. Clark Ely who has returned
here to reside with his wife and child.

Perfectly Natural.
The first number of the Norivalk Record,
issued last Saturday, was a surprising suc-
cess. The whole first edition of 2,000
copies was exhausted before noon., and
the forms had to be put upon the press
again and another edition worked off to
supply the demand. We sincerely re—
joice at our friend and associate's good
fortune. But he should endeavor to re-
strain himself, for even greater men than
he have had their heads turned by unex-
peeled success. While we don’t 'wish to
be captions, we don’t exactly relish
'his shying his first brick at us, his patron
and friend, though we know it to be
only an exhibition of the exuberance of
of his animal spirits. He is incapable of
saying or doing anything vicious or inten-
tionally unkind. Yet we can‘t scchis con-
sisteucy in calling us an “offensive parti-
san," when he can put into cold type and
in the same sentence, that he is in fpvor
of "home missionary societies" and of
“Grover Cleveland I" What I' travesty
on faith. And yet it may be allon account
of Grover Cleveland that makes. him feel
the need of “home missionary societies."
However. let us admonish him to have a
care, or we might feel it a duty to lay the
young editor across our patriarchal
lap, figuratively speaking. and apply a
corrective on that part of his anatomy a
mother always seeks when she desires to
make it lasting impression on her boy’s
brain.

A Model Circus.
Frank A. Robbins’ mammoth exhibition
which will exhibit at Norwalk Friday,
May 20 is pronounced by large and critical
audiences to be unquestionably the best
circus now before the public. This fact
is apparent, not only in the unequalflti
number and variety of attractions pre-
sented, but in the excellence of appoint-
mcnts which characterizes ciicli features
of the exhibit, and in the maintenance of
the most thorough order and discipline.
The menageric is a large and complete
one, and afiords an excellent place for the
juveniles to gain practical knowledge in
natural history, under the most favorable
auspices.
The main tent is a cupacious one, with
:1 seating capacity of about five thousand,
and is comfortably arranged. Two large
rings and ii raised platform divide the
equal attention of the audience, for at
each point some special attraction is tak-
ing place, which holds the close attention
of the spectators. the performers being
of the very best in their respective parts.
A specialty never before attempted, is the
elephant band. which discourses singular
melody. These animals have bccntrained
to a surprising degree of proficiency, and
taught to perform many difficult evolu-
tions which must be seen to be believed.
It may be said of Robbins‘ Circus, that
every attraction promised on the bill is
that the entire entertainment is not only
free from objectionable features, but that
its general is elevated and refined to an
unusual degree.
We do not believe there is any equally
well organized and conducted circus on
the road, or one that can receive as cor-
dial and conscientious endorsements from
the press and. public as that of Mr. Frank
A. Robbins, should to receive awarm
ovation. '

A Son of Connecticut.
Brayton Ives, son of William A Ives,
Esq., of New Haven, graduated from
Yale in 1861, and though only about 20
years old, entered the army as adjutant of
Col. Ferry's regiment, the Fifth Connec-
ticut, and became captain of infantry. a
a major, and was little beyond his major-
ity when he commanded a cavalry regi-
ment, (the First Connecticut.) under Gen.
Sherideu. He was a full colonel at 24,
and was ultimately promoted to be abrev-
ct brigadicr general on the recommenda-
tion of General Sheriden, under whom he
had served in the cavalry. Gen. Ives serv—
ed all through the war and was mustered
out in 1865. He came to New York in
1867, a friend says, and went into busi-
ness as a stock broker under the tutelage
of LeGrand Lockwood. “He was," says
one who knows the gentleman well,
elected president of the Stock Exchange
in 1878 and again in 1879,and at that time
was the first president ever elected twice
in succession. He has served on nearly
all the standing committees and has been
chairman of the Law Committee for the
past five years. He was a director in the
United States National Bank when Gen.
Grant and William R. Travers were also
directors, and he resigned at about the
same time that they did. Mr. Ives is now
a director in the Northern Poetic Railroad
Company and the American Trust Com-
pany. He is a member of the Century,
Union League, Athletic, Grolier and Uni-
versity clubs. He has been treasurer of
the University Club for seven years. He
has a library of between 5,000 and 6,000
volumes.” Mr. Ives makes a specialty of
the earliest volumes ever printed in the
fifteenth century, and of American books,
or books relating to the earlier history of
the United States. He has the Guttenberg
Bible, the first printed book going back
to about 1455; the fourth book with a date,
1460, being a Catholiean or general lexicon
in Latinf; the Cicero de Officirs, which is
the first classic ever printed and bears the
date of 1465. He has the first arithmetic
ever printed; the first Euclid, Iliad,
Odyssey, Virgil, St. Augustine, Caesar and
Plutarch’s lives. He has the Pembroke
missal in manuscript. It was made about
1440 for the first Earl of Pembroke; it is
a book of prayers on vellum.and is one of
the finest manuscripts‘jn the United States.
It is understood that Mr. Ives refused ten
thousand dollars for it. He has many
classical manuscripts, comprising the
works of Tacitus, J uvenal, Cicero and
others. Among numerous books relating
to early American history a gentleman
who knows says Mr. Ives has the Iirstbook
printed in connecticut. It was printed in
New {London and refers to the old Say-
brook platform. He has the earliest book
in Massachusetts. It relates to church
dicipline, and there are only four or five
copies extant. He has a complete set of
Champlain’s and De Bry’s voyages. He
has about two hundred of the rarest books
relating to the settlement of this country,
and also the finest collection of Oriental
porcelains in the United States, and a
large collection of Japanese swords and
sword guards. He has some fine pictures,
including examples of ;Diaz, Rousseau,
Knaus and Sclireycr, not to-mention many
others. Mr. Ives reads Latin, Greek and
French. He lives in Thirty-fifth street,
near Fifth avenue, and also has a place at
Lowmoor, N. J ., just above Long Branch.
Mr. Ives, who has wonldistinction as a
soldier, financier iiud connoisseur, is, a
man of fine presence, athletic build and
