The fact that a gang of men thl'ouglilyg un- principled can command two such institu- tions as the Chicago board of trade and 11 Cincinnati bank with $1,000,000 capital gives a shock to all financial dealing. Commencing last Sunday a new train was put on the main line of the Housatonic Railroad with through sleeping cars for New York, leaving Pittsfield at 10 o’clock at night and stopping at the principal sta- tions between Plttsficld and Bridgeport, connecting at Bridgeport with train arriv- ing in New York it 7 o’clock Monday mornings. ‘ _ Mr. Charles Tucker has sold to Glover & Olsen the buckskin colt, 4 years old, be- longing to the estate of Wm.

Mr. Allen Rundle, of Ridgefield, died suddenly of heart disease last Saturday morning at the age of 68 years. That morning he got up early and started for the barn to do the chores. On the way he remarked that he felt very unwell, and was going to' die. He was assisted back to the house, and sat down on the stoop. The family then came to his assistance and he was placed in bed, and only lingered for ten minutes. The annual increase of the hat product in Daubury is shown by the following comparison of the corresponding weeks of the last three years: The shipment of hats for the week ending with Saturday, June 25, amounted to 2,530 cases, a decrease of 98 from that of the preceding week. For the corresponding week in 1886, the ship- ment amounted to 2,453 cases.

' - No one need to have had a more grati- fying evidence that race prejudices were fast dying out on Norwalk, than the crush of- our white and black elite at thclittlc African ”church around the corner" on Knight street on the occasion of the some- what aristocratic colored wedding that took place there last week. The crowd over-flowed the church aird extended wry down to this side of Gregory’s stables. The nuptial ceremonies in the church lvcre very impressive and exceedingly interesting. Under the new treaty with Mexico tak- ing effect Jilly 1, American postage rates extend to Mexico, letters will gofor two cents to any part of that country, and the postage on parcels under 4} pounds will be the same as in the United States.

Minister Romero thinks $10,000,000 of American goods will cuter Mexico through the mails, as soon as the pliblic understand the extent of the privilege opened by the treaty. Republicans have no desire to imitate the conduct of democrats regardin_ Pre- sident Hayes. But it is a fact, for al that, that Mr. Cleveland’s title to the presidency of the United States to-day rests upon fraud and violence, and that he would have been a defeated candidate in 1884 had “all our people” been allowed to vote and to have their votes honestly counted and returned. He owes his office to noto- rious crimes committed against popular suffrage in comparison with which the offenses only alleged against the Hayes ad- ministration were trivial. Don’t let’s have any more talk about Mr. Cleveland’s ‘ ‘fair” election l—Palledium. The marriage of Miss Hattie F. Quin- lard to Mr. Eugene L. Boyer, at the resi- dence of the bride, Wednesday, was a notable affair. The ceremonywas per- formed by Rev. Mr. Anderson, in the presence of a small company of invited guests. Among the guests present were Govern- or and Mrs. Lounsbury, best man Fred Quintard and wife, Rev. Mr. Brill and wife, Charles C. Belts arid wife, William A.'Clirtis and wife.

There seems to be no truth in the report that Douglass Fowler Post would not ac- cept the invitation to attend the unveiling of the soldiers' monument in New Haven on account of their having to be enter- tained separate from the ofilcers. The Bridgeport Post of Monday says: A member of Douglass Fowler Post, G. A. R.. of South Norwalk, says that it; is not true as reported that the Post did not go to New Haven because the officers were to be entertained separate from them. He says the Post voted not to go in a body and therefore each comrade was left to not his own pleasure in attending. About forty members of the Post went and after they saw the manner in which visiting comrades were provided for they were glad that they felt under no obligation to stay. Precisely at 10: 05 Wednesday morniu a sonorous voice rang out the words “Al aboard !” A white hand waved a signal to the engineer, and the Housatonic train moved out of the depot. The voice and the hand belonged to Conductor Gurdon S. Coit, who, resplendent in a new uni- form, cmblazoned with thegilt buttons of the Housatonic Company, shod in patent leather boots, ornamented with a bouton- nicre, and topped with a gold-laced cap, started off upon his first run as conductor on the Housatonic line. Formany years Mr. Coit was clerk of the Elm City and Continental, steamboats plyin between New York and New Haven. afterwards he was conductor on the Consolidated road for a term of years, and now he starts olfwith the best wishes of a host of friends upon the Housatonic road—Farmer. It reached the Bridgeport News ofli'ice Sunday morning that a, boat load of oystermen while going up the Gut back of Long Beach, Saturday afternoon, had dis- covered tllc body of a woman floating in the water near a place called West Point, not far from the Lordship farm. It was said the body was plainly seen. All at- tempts to find out whether the authorities had been informed of the case were futile Sunday night. Coroner Holt and Medical- Examiner Downs, acting on the informa— tion of the. News, went to the locality late in the afternoon but. could learn nothing.

Why Butler does no blame the Presi- dent.—The first dinner of the newly form- ed Butler Club was held at the Quincy house, Boston, Saturday. Although the club was formed as a social organization and invitations had been sent to Demo- crats and Republicans alike, the meeting Saturday was composed almost entirely of prominent Democrats. About one hun- dred were present. Colonel Plympton presided. General Butler was the first speaker introduced and devoted most of his speech to a denunciation of the recent battle flag order of President Cleveland. He said in part: “Now, mark me, I don’t at all blame the President for do- ing this. Where could he have gotten knowledge in former life to know enough not to do it P" [Laughter and applause.] Mr. Eadweard Muybridge, whose re- markable instantaneous photographs of “The Horse in Motion,” published in 1882, astonished the world, has been work- ing in the same line for the past four years under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania. About $30,000 have been expended, and 100,000 plates have been exposed. The result is a series of views presenting over 20,000 positions assumed by men, women and children draped and nude, and by birds and animals in motion. The venting some time ago secured the right to the first publication of a selection from these pictures, and in the July num- ber‘an article will appear on this subject, by Talcott Williams, of the Philadelphia Press, illustrated with a number of the views, including those of men jumping and somersaulting, batting and throwing base ball, birds flying, horses jumping, a mule “bucking” and kicking, etc. —GEDNEY House, cor.

The Consolidated Railroad Co. have purchased the Swords building at South Norwalk, which will be torll down to make room for an extra side track. This will give pedestrians and people driving a better view of the track, on the cast, and enable them to see trains approaching from the cast at a greater distance, thus lessening the danger of accident in cross- ing. . Monday evening a traveling fakir gave a very entertaining performance in South Norwalk with a colony of trained rats and mice. The little animals were chock full of tricks, the different ones answering to such high sounding names as Gen. Grant, Bell Butler, Dr. McGlynn, Bob Bones, Henry George, Dutch George, etc. The show consisted of firing miniature cannon, trapeze performance, etc. At the conclu. sion when the “boss” passed the contri— bution basket, the crowd said “rats" and, like the Arabs, “silently stole away.” The stockholders of the New Haven and Northampton Road met Saturday and ratified the lease to the Consolidated for 99 years. By the terms of the new lease the stockholders of the Northampton road will receive a dividend of 1 per cent. a year for the next three years, 2 per cent.- annually for the next three, 3 per cent. annually for the next three, and thereafter 4 per cent. Mr. Yeamans, president of the Northampton, will act as superintend- ent for the present, and may continue per- manently ill the position. Gen. E. S. Bragg, of Wisconsin whose speech at the Chicago Convention of ’84 in favor of Mr. Cleveland’s nomination has become historical, was interviewed by the Chicago Tribune the other day, and strange to_sav, he declared most em- phatically his belief that Mr. Blaine will be elected President next year if he shall take the Republican nomination. He does not think Mr. Cleveland will wish to run, but: whether he does or not makes very little difference. Bragg says: “I don’t know anybody we Democrats can nomi- nate who can carry New York, New Jersey and Connecticut against Blaine, if he should be nominated by the Republicans. I tell you that. man Blaine is the strongest and most popular man the Republicans could nominate, and I don’t believe that any number of Burchards or anything else could prevent his carrying New York next time. He will get the Labor vote.” The laying of the corner stone of the court house in Bridgeport last Friday was an occasion long to be remembered. There were several hundred visiting Ma- sons in attendance, who participated in the ceremonies. The visiting brethren were met at the depot by committees of St. John’s and Corinthian Lodges, of Bridgeport, and assigned places in the line. The ceremonies at the courthouse were interesting and impressive and were conducted by the officers of the Grand Lodge, Grand Master H. H. Green presid- ing. After the corner stone services the line of march was continued to the arm- ory, where the banquet had been prepared and plates laid for ,-,000 guests. The Wheelererilson band furnished music for the feast. P. G..M. Luke A. Lock- wood'was the orator of the day and gave an eloquent address. The toasts were as follows :- The Day We Celebrate—Grand Treasurer John B. Root; Masonry and its Relations to Law and Order-Past Grand Master James L‘. Gould; The Most Wor— shipful Grand Lodge of Connecticut— Most Worshipful Grand Master H. H. Green; Masonry in Fairfield County—Past Master James H. Welsh; Masonry, the Church's Handmaid—Rev. John Lyon; Our Sister Lodges-é—Grand Secretary Jos. K. Wheeler; The Ladies—Past Grand Master Luke A. Lockwood; The New Court House—Hon. Nathaniel Wheeler; The City of Bridgeport—Mayor Civilion Fones; The Town of Bridgeport—Select- man Emory F. Strong. The present statutes of the State of Michigan regulating the traffic in intoxi- cating liquors provide fora tax of $300 on every retail dealer and $500 on whole- salers, with a small tax 011 manufacturers of beer. There are other stringent re- strictions as to the hours of business, pro- ‘hibiting all sales on Sunday, election’days, and all legal holidays. The collection of the tax has been quite general and com- plete. and has to that extent operated as a restraint on the restricted sale of liquor. A bill has also passed the Legislature which increase the tax to $500 for retail- ers, and also provides that whenever one- fifth of the voters at the last preceding election for Governor in any county shall petitionfor a special election to beheld on this question of totally prohibiting the sale of liquor throughout that county such election shall take place, nothing else be- ing voted upon. An affirmative vote estab- lishes prohibition in the county. Such an election once held cannot be repeated un- til the expiration of three years, and the decision, whatever it is. will be binding for that time. The great mass of tem- perance voters accept this new law with enthusiasm as a practical and important ally in the cause which they have at heart, giving prohibition where the con- dition of public sentiment gives any hope of enforcing its mandates, while still holding the trafilc in check by taxation where stronger measures would prove futile. That this law will reduce rumsel- ling and rum drinking to the lowest pos- sible amount is of course no argument in its favor with impracticable third party Prohibitionists who say total prohibition or unrestrained rum, and are bitterly op- posing this law. ———<o->——— ‘Real Estate Chanson.

The change, for the Down Town district will be all right in the main. Many South Norwalk people were pre- sent at. the laying of the corner stone for the new court house at Bridgeport. It is said by a resident of that city, who was present and listened to the many eloquent addresses, that their community did not know there was so much “Light" in South Norwalk. There has been much speculation dur- ing the week as to who would succeed Hayes & Co. at the Benedict hat shop.- Dutton 85 Disbrow, of New York, have enquired about it for a friend.

The pre- scncc in town of Mr. Harrass, an exten- sive dealer in hats, in New York, was thought to be suggestive of his locating here, but after discussing the matter for two days with Mr. Phillips, it was decided to abandon the project of establishing a foul shop in South Norwalk.

Whilc engaged in picking cherries, the limb upon which he 'standiug broke, and he was precipitated upon a picket fence, one of the pickets cutting a hole entirely thro'ugh- his cheek and injuring him quite severely. On Thursday evening the graduating exercises took place at the Staples High School, in Assembly Hall. Although the weather was unfavorable, a large number of the friendsof the school and of the young ladies who formed the graduating class, were present. Tire exercises were of the usual cllgracter. OrPFriday morning a man named Nut- ting, who was found on the Saturday pre- vious in Saugatuck river and rescued by Andrew King and John Sickles, and who was suffering from an attack of the deliri— um tremens, was taken before Justice Finch and finedfigl and costs, in default of which he was taken to jail. The Consolidated road has forbidden the painting or pasting of advertisements on any of its property. Is is not about time that the towns or state took similar action ? At present every rock, fence post or anything that affords the least surface is covered, and now they have commenced sticking up boards, so that soon our roads 4 will present the appearance of a cemetery. Oil Wednesday of last. Week, Mrs. L. T. Day visited New, Haven for the purpose of attending the wedding of her sister, Miss Adelia Stevens to Rev. Allen C. Prescott. The cermony was performed in the Church of the Ascension, by Rev. Mr. Woodcock, the rector. Miss Stevens has alarge circle of friends in this place and Mr. Prescott, on the occasion of one of his visits, preached twa eloquent sermons in Christ Church. ‘ On Saturday afternoon John Lindiberg went to the house of Mrs. John R. Wil- liams, where one of his children is living, and being under the influence of liquor, which has been his normal condition for some time, he entered the library and lay down upon the lounge and went to sleep. Word wassent to Constable Kemper, who went to the house and aroused John from his slumbcrs in an effective if not gentle manner. He then took him before Justice Finch, who fined him $2 and costs and sentenced him to jail for 30 days. This will probably give him a chance to get sober. . The annual meeting of the West Sauga- tuck School district was held last Friday evening and the following ofiicers were elected: John W. Hurlbutt, committee; William Edgar Nash, clerk; O. S. Jones, treasurer; W. K. Maples, collector. It was thought by somethattoo much money was being spent, it was necessary to econ- omize, etc., rind the schools were the pro- per starting point, so it was voted to cm- ploy but one teacher at a salary not to ex- ceed fifty dollars per month, (the original mover, Mr. E. Wheeler, said fifty dollars per year), but a. subsequent motion left the matter of hiring an assistant to the discre- tion of the committee. We are glad to see such an economical spirit prevailing and trust it maygo through all the public expenditures. Taxes will be less—that is if anybody remains in the town to be tax- ed; and, by the” way, perhaps some one may study out some connection, how much did it cost the town to put that fellow through and get him to jail, that had the delirium tremens last week? Don’t rum have somethingto do with that trouble ? Economy! Cut down schools and license rum shops. WILTON. ‘ I The McNary family are with Mr. Edgar Bloomer for tliefsummer. . Mr. Frank Harrison, of Hartford, a former resident of Cannon Station, is vis- iting in town. ‘ The Zion’s Hill ladies are arranging for one of their usual pleasant Fourth of July entertainments.“ Owing to the storm the entertainment at Mrs. Dr. Brady’s did not take place until Friday evening last. The adjourned meeting of the joint board of selecfmen and school visitors will be held this evening. It is claimed that the contractors of the telegraph company running through the town are notes punctual business wise as they shouldbe. Mrs. E. G. Betta visited Waterbury last week to witness the graduating exercises —of..St. Margaret‘s school, from which her ueice, Miss Mary Middlebrook, graduated. Since Mr. Josiah Dodge has been ap. pointed inspector of the Cannons Station and Georgetown turnpike, he has saved enough from his salary to purchase one of the handsomes gold-headed canes in the county. Among the worshippers at the Congre- gational church, on Sunday, was Mr. Sanut Thompson, brother of Rev. Frank Thompson, a former pastor of the church. Mr. Thompson isa well known sculptor, and is summer-ing in New Canaan. The secretiveness of the railway mag- natcs concerning the change in the time of running their trains, was a decided suc- cess, but nevertheless, it was not relished by the traveling public. A little more “managerial ability,” as P. T. Barnum says, would be positively harmful. Gen. Noble, of Bridgeport, has recently obtained a pension for Mrs. Betsey Scrib- ner, of Cannon’Station, of $2 per month, besides considerable back pay. This is very opportune for Mrs. Scribner, as it will enable her to live in comfort the rest of her days. O REDDIN . There was a great rain fall last week. Rev. and Mrs. W. J. Jennings went to Rockville Monday and returned Thursday. Mr. Jennings attended theGeneral associ- ciation and also the meeting of the direc- tors of the Missionary society of Connecti- cut, at which an appropriation of $100 for a year was made to the church in Ridge- bnry, to aid them in supporting their present pastor. Rev. L. P. Perry and family visited friends in Stratford last week. Rev. H. L. Slack, of Bethcl. occupied the pulpit of the Congregational church Sunday by exchange with the pastor. \ CURE Ciel: Headache and relieve all the troubles incl- i‘.::lt to a bilious state of the system, such an Diz- rincss, Nausea, Drowsiness, Distress after cstln , Pain in the Side, be.
