The New Hotel.
At the Hotel meeting held at the Opera
House last evening, the new hotel interest
was further worked up to a very encourag-
ing degree. The Committee reported that
satisfactory arrangements could not be made
for the Isaacs property, but the old Mott
Homestead lot could be had, and it was
voted to conclude a bargain with Mr. Bishop
therefor, on the terms he offers, which are
$10,000 cash and $5000 in stock of the
Hotel Company. This will make a most
eligible and beautiful site for the new hotel
building, and now that the new sewer
system is inaugurated, all the requisite needs
in that respect are amply provided for.
The old Mott Tavern, or Stage House, of
fifty years ago, on this site, was the most
popular hostelry between New York and
New Haven, and there would be a fine local
and historic propriety in again making this
the spot of Norwalk’s modern and first-class
hotel. Subscription papers are now being
circulated and are being very encouragingly
signed and the success of the new enterprise
is believed to be fully assured.

The Heated Term.
The present month of July has been the
hottest for eleven years, according to
authentic record. For more than twenty
days there has been an unbroken succes.
sion of torrid days. The great amount of
moisture in the atmosphere has made the
heat still more unbearable. In far off
Northern Dakota, where the thermometer
runs down to 65° below zero in winter,
it has mounted up to 108 ° in the shade.
In Southern California the boat has been
unprecedented and people had to move
into the cellars to exist. The most deadly
effects however seem to have been ex-
perienced at Chicago nearly 200 died there
of sun-stroke between Friday and Sunday
and 263 babies less than a year old died of
heat. Thecoroners and undertakers Were
utterly unable to discharge their duties so
unprecedented was the mortality. The
reports say :—
“The ratio of fatality was greater than
in any know form of pestilence, over 70
per cent. of the sufferers having died.
Up to Saturday there had been from all
causes 488 deaths in the city, against 294
for the corresponding week last year.
This record does not include all of the
deaths on last Saturday and none of those
on Sunday. The frightful work of the
heat is shown in the infant mortality, for
of the 488 deaths 329 were children less
than five years old, and of this number 263
were babies under a year old, 119 dying of
cholera infantum.
“There has never been anything like it
in the city at any previous time.” It will
be days before the coroner’s work on the
present dead can be finished.
At the coroner’s office Monday the scene
was indeed terrible. The room was
crowded with men, all bent on the same
errand—to report the name of a Victim of
the heat and plead for an early certificate.
The city and county compartments at the
Morgue are packed full of bodies. No
such death rate was ever known here
before, and in consequence the facilities
both at the coroner’s office and the
Morgue are wholly inadequate.
At Washington Monday, the thermome-
ter beat all previous records. At Colum—
bus, Ohio, Monday was the hottest day in
thirty years. It has been coolcrin Florida
than in the northern and eastern belt of
states.
Saturday night an unprecedented heated
wave settled down upon the Berkshire
Hills of Mass. and throughout the upper
Housatonic valley. The air was like a
sirocco and sleep 'out of the question.
Meantime while both man and beast has
suffered so extremely elsewhere about as
comfortable a place as was to be found
in any part of the county during this
heated term, was right here in Norwalk.
The days have been hot but the nights
invariably cool and comfortable and con-
ducive to refreshing sleep. Numbers of
our townspeople who were roasted out
at sea-shore and mountain resorts have
hastened back home to get cooled off and
they have not been disappointed.
Uniform Extraditions. ..
A conference of Governors is to be held
in New York on Aug. 23d to consult re-
garding the establishment of a uniform
system of procedure in inter-state extra-
dition proceedings. A circular, to be
sent to the other Governors is prepared
by Govs. Lounsbury of Connecticut, Hill
of New York, Ormsbec of Vermont,
Beaver of Pennsylvania, and Ames of
Massachusetts; it will be sent out from
the New York capitol, and will read as
follows: ,
“Sm: The desirability of a uniform
system of rules and practice in the matter
of the inter-state extradition of fugitive
from justice seems to be conceded.
“ o hilc the regulations and practice of
the states in general may be considered
substantially similar. they are widely di-
vergent in details and particular require-
ments.
“In consequence of the increase of the
criminal class, the large additions made
to the number of crimes at common law
by statutory enactment, resulting from the
growth of our commercial system, and the
increased facilities of traveling between
the states in recent years, the necessity of
improving the present inharmonious pro-
cedure in this important branch of crimin-
al law seems clearly to exist.
" With a view of correcting these evils,
correspondence has been had with the
governors of the states which adjoin New
York as to the propriety of concerted ac-
tion by all govornors in the adoption of a
uniform system of rules and practice. As
the result of this correspondence, it has
been decided to call a conference of repre-
sentatives of the different states and terri-
tories, to meet at the Murray Hill hotel, in
the city of New York. at noon on the 23d
day of August, 1887.”

The Bethel “Graphic.”
The first number of the Bethcl Graphic
appeared last week. It is a neat looking
paper, ncwsy and well put together. The
- editor, in his salutatory, says :—
We come to you with some little feeling
of timidity, from the fact that several at.
tempts have been made in this line before
by those as fully competent as we to con-
duct a journal of this kind, and for the
reason that it has been reiterated time after
time that the good people of this thriving
borough of Bcthcl would not support a
newspaper. This statement we do not
believe. We are convinced that if a journ-
a1 is properly conducted in the interests
of Bethel and its people, that these people
will cheerfully and gladly sustain an en-
terprise which has for its object the im-
provemcnt of the place, the advancement
of all that is good, and that will help to
increase the prosperity of the people.
The “good people" of Bntllel certainly
ought to support the Graphic, as it prom-
ises well and we have no doubt will be
deserving of patronage. And if the
“good people ’ of Bethel should give their
hearty support to “sustain an enterprise
which has for its object the improvement
of the place, the advanccmeut and pros-
perity of the people,” ctc., it would be an
encouraging indication of the wonderful
progressive reform worked by Time’s grad-
unl process, and an unanswcrablc argu-
ment in favor of the doctrine of evolution.
The Graphic bravely announces that It
“has come to stay,” and gives evidence of
possessing the necessary amount of pluck
and pcrsevcrencc, two qualities which
will probably be called into active requisi-
tion.

Passengers Complain.
Passengers who come up from New
York by the steamboat bitterly complain
of the treatment they receive from the
Danbury road. They say they are kept
in the cars and in the broiling sun for
ncariyaquartcr of an hour down at the
Wilson Point pier, and when at last they
rcachSouth Norwalk, unless they leave
the cars there, they are backed down into
the Seymour nursery grounds to be roast-
cd by the setting sun for another quarter
of an hour. Last year the train ran the
passengers from the boat directly to the
bridge, and then hacked to South Nor.-
walk In time for their New York passen-
gers by cars, and the ten cents fare was
found to pay chI for the service, and the
steamboat people wonder this is not done
this season.

Ordered into Camp.
Adjutant-G encral Camp, on Monday issued
an order commanding the 'entire brigade,
Connecticut Nationol Guard, to assemble at
the State camp ground, Niantic, Monday,
August 22, at 10 o’clock a. m., for six days’
camp duty.
This settles the question as to any regi-
ment of the brigade taking part in the cele-
bration at Philadelphia. General Camp
passed Sunday with Governor Lounsbury,
but the matter of selecting a company .to
represent Connecticut at the Philadelphia
celebration was not discussed. It lies be-
tween the first and second company of the
Foot Guards. General Camp will discuss
the matter with the Governor probably the
next time he visits Hartford, and it will
then be decided which company shall go.
In the order General Camp calls the at-
tention of officers and men “to the careful
and just criticisms of Lieut. Totten, U. S. A.,
upon the encampment of last year, as pub
lished in general order No. 5, dated ad-
jutant general’s office, March 2‘3, 1887, es-
pecially such as relate to guard duty and
salutes; and they are urged to use every
endeavor to correct the evils therein noted.
The custom which has prevailed to some
extent of social visits between officers and
men during the encampment is entirely un-
military and should be absolutely abolished.
It is expected that two officers of the United
States army will be detailed by the War
Department for duty at the encampment»
one to give special instruction in guard
duty, each day, to the officers and men de-
tailed for that duty, and one to give instruc-
Regarding the visit of Governor Louns-
bury to the camp the order says: “ The
commander-in chief desires to remind the
officers and men of the brigade that encamp-
ments are for theirjnstruction, and that the
state has a right to expect of them strict at-
tention to duty while there. He intends to
be present several days during the encamp-
ment, but wishes his presence there to inter-
fere as little as practicable with the regular
routine of military duties; he therfore de-
sires that no troops be sent to the railroad ‘
station to escort him to the camp, and that
the brigade be not paraded on his arrival
there. He will review the brigade Friday,
August 26.

A Bold Burglary.
The story of the Bridgeport burglary of
last Sunday morning is thus told in a
despatch to the World on Monday :—
The most successful burglary ever com--
mitted in this city occurred Sunday morn-
ing, between midnight and dawn, when
the large safe in George W. Fairchild’s
jewelry store, on Main street, was cracked
and its contents stolen. The goods taken
consisted of watches, diamonds, rings,
bracelets and other ornaments, the value
of the whole being $15,000.
Mr. Fairchild is one of the leading deal-
ers in jewelry in the city. His store is
located in the centre of the business com-
munity, which is supposed to have the
best police protection and the added
guarantee afforded by the services of two
private watchmen—F. B.Taylor and Mon-
roe Bailey. Apolice officer also patrols
this beat until 4 o’clock in the morning,
but none of these parties noticed that any-
thing was wrong. They claim that the
burglary must have been committed after
they went off duty at 4 o’clock this morn-
ing, but this does not appear credible in
view of the facts.
Fairchild’s jewelry store is on Main
street, two doors above John street. Next
to it on the John street is the banking
house of T. L. Watson &.Co. The thieves
had evidently studied the situation in ad-
vance. They made their way through
White’s liquor saloon, in John street, by
the fan light. After they were inside they
fastened the doors, which were already
locked and bolted, with large screws.
Then they effected entrance to the collar
of Fairchild’s store by pushing in a dc-
caycd window sash. The fastenings in
the trap door leading to the room above
were bored with an exactness which indi-
cated that the robbers were familiar with
the place. Mr. Fairchild had two
safes, but, contrary to the rule, placed all
his valuables Saturday night in the larger
and older one. This safe the robbers en—
tered by chiseling out a piece of the front
and using wedges and jimmies. No pow-
der was employed. To protect them-
selves from observation while at work they
made a screen in front of the store with
the white cloths used to cover the show
cases. Back of this white cloth were ar-
ranged folds of black cambric, thus shut-
ting off a view of the safe from the out-
side, although several gas-jets were burn-
ing in the store. The officers must have
passed at frequent intervals. The thieves
took everything of value, including a
number of gold watches left for repair.
They left behind a ten-dollar Confederate
note and a Sledgehammer with a broken
handle. A pile of beer kegs and boxes
indicated that the burglars made off with
their booty over the low roofs in the rear
of the jewelry store.
Mr. Fairchild is practically ruined by
the loss. ~ He wept like a child when he
came over from Stratford this morning
and learned of the robbery. The police
are nonplussed and so far have no clue.

Old Graves and Grave-stones Cured. For,
This good work, to which the GAzar'rs
has repeatedly and recently called atten-
tion as shamefully needed and neglected,
has been begun at last. The large elm
growing out of the grave of Rev. Roswell
R. Swan, for twelve years (1807—1819)
pastor of the First Congregational church,
has been cut down and eradicated, the
memorial stone, which was erected by an
admiring and loving church, but long
since broken, has been set up on a granite
base, and made clean and white; and the
same work has been done for the grave-
stones of two of the pastor’s young
children buried by his side—~31] this for
his daughter, the widow of Hon. N. F.
Dixon, of Westerly, R. I. by a man sent
'hither, with the aid of P. W. Bates.
Now let the grave and broken down
grave-stone of Rev. Stephen Buckingham,
pastbr of The First church for about 30
years (1747—1777) he attended to. and
also his wife’s in the East Avenue
cemetery; then let the thigket of ailanthus
"shrubs be cleared away from the burial
lot of Rev. Matthias Burnct, D. D., pastdi‘
of the same church for over twenty years
(1785*1806) who lies by the side of his
wife and son on the east side of the Town
Hill cemetery, not far from the resting
place of his successor, Mr. Swan. *
And who will tell of the grave of Rev.
Thomas Hanford, first pastor'of the same
church (1654—1693) and of the grave of
Rev. Moses Dickinson pastor of the same
church nearly 51 years (1737—1778)
Who knows of these sepulchres? Should
not such be honored? —
How many other neglected graves and
fallen grave-stones in our old cemeteries?
While we care for and are proud of the
new, the old should be respected. Oh for
an emulation of the reverence for ances-
tors characteristic of the “Heathen

Murderous Madmen.
The terrible murder of the venerable
Mr. J. C. Kennedy, of Washington, by an
insane man, is suggestive of a danger al-
together too prevalent. Mr. Kennedy was
one of the most erudite and delightful of
Washington’s many aged residents. He
had distinguished himself in ofilcial ser-
vice by compiling probably the best census
our Nation’cver had takenmnd at the least
cost. He has subsequently lived a Christian
gentleman, and in a quiet and unostcnta-
tious way, enjoying the esteem of all who
knew him. His literary acquirements
were of a high order and many a states-
man has found him a scholar and cncyclo-~
pedia in time of need. He had just
stepped out of his office in rear of Riggs’
Bank and was walking down Fifteenth
street towards Pennsylvania avenue. when
this madman stealthily slipped up behind
him and plunged 11 large bread knife into
his bowels, killing him instantly. So far
as is known, the crank had never seen Mr.
Kennedy before, but the police knew him
to be deranged, and the knife with which
he committed the murder was stolen from
the workhouse, where he had been a short.
time committed for attempting an assault
upon another pcaccable citizen. It be-
comes a very serious question, for the
public consideration, whether persons
known to be irrational, shall be permitted
to roam at will, without police restraint
or surveillance. Nearly every community
has such danger menacing its citizens, and
these oft-recurring horrors caused by them
ought in some way to be prevented.
One of the pathetic incidents related of
Mr. Kennedy in connection with his mur-
der is given by the Washington correspon‘
dent of the New York World. He was
proverbially fond of young people and
children. .On his way to where he was
assassinated he stepped into a drug store
and took a glass of soda. Seeing a young
lad looking wistfully at his cooling draught,
he at once interpreted it as a dcsirc on the
boy's part for a glass, as the day was in-
tensely hot, so he invited the lad to join
him. with such old-time gentility and
courtesy that the boy's good feeling was
at once elicited and he at once accepted.
He then asked the lad his name, and was
surprised and delighted to find that behad
treated the little son of United States
Treasurer Hyatt. Mr. Kennedy was 75
years of age, and he had entertained many
learned men from this and other countries.
He was an intimate friend of Charles
Sumner, Edward Everett, William Pitt
Fessenden, Reverdy Johnson, Henry Clay,
Lewis Cass, and the leading men of their
day and time. - When Congressman
Brooks, of South Carolina, assaulted
Charles Sumner on the floor of the Senate
and a wild scene of disorder ensued, Mr.
Kennedy came in with the crowd and his
interference on behalf of Mr. Sumner was
resented by Senator Borland, of Arkansas,
who struck him violently in the face
knocking him down and breaking his
nose. His terrible death has greatly
shocked the community and no fatality
since the assassination of President Gar-
field has occasioned greater excitement in
Washington. .
Roscoe Conkling at once telegraphed
Mrs. Kennedy a most tender dcspatch of
condolence bu learning of the terrible
event. He was buried from Dr.- Bartlett's
New York Avenue Church, of which he
was many years a member.

way when the board overturned and he
was precipitated into the water, which
was eight feet deep, and sank to the bot-
tom. Three small boys saw him go down '
and summoned assistance, and fifteen
minutes later the body was recovered ;
but although two doctors worked over it

causing the death of Mrs. Margaret Ernst,
was sentenced to state prison for life. His
associate, James F. Taylor, then pleaded
guilty toa similar charge and was also
sentenced for life. William Cisco, charged
with the murder of .Harriet Thompson,
pleaded not guilty, and so did Peter Coffee,
charged with the murder of Station Agent

Clarence Lee, a New Haven youth, aged
15, has visited one or two Wild West
shows and thus obtained a fair idea of
Iassoing, Some time since Lee obtained
a rope and has since been engaged in
practicing whirling the noose over posts
and other inanimate objects. He became
quite expert and Monday evening be con.
cluded to try his hand on some Russian
Jews who reside on Oak street. After he
had succeeded in catching two or three of
them by the neck there was such a chat-
tering among the dealers in rags that
Officer Woodruff had his attention attract-
ed and placed Lee under arrest. At
police headquarters a young junior of
Williams college, who is doing missionary
work in this city entered the lockup and
spent an hour in conversing with Lee on
religious topics.

CATARRH‘ CURE.
Sensible Comment.
A perfect storm of comment and un-
favorable criticism has been aimed against
the police force since Fairchild’s jewelry
store was robbed of $8,000 or $10,000
worth of goods, Sunday morning. The
average citizen is apt to say-that such a
burglary, in that portion of the city best
protected by police officers. private watch-
men and electric lights, ought to be im.
possible. There is reason In the com-
plaint too and that makes it harder to
bear. but it is best to consider the matter
calmly and reasonably. We have recently
had two disastrous fires, but it would not
be wise to rail loo severely against the
fire department and do away with fire on-
gine altogether on that account. The fact
that there has been a big burglary does
not necessarily prove that the police offl-
ccrs are all idiots and the dcpartmcnta
useless and unnccssary expense: The
best officers in the world occasionally
make blunders, but on the whole they are
valuable Bridgeport has a force quite
as good as the average, it not better, and
we could not get along an hour without
them. It costs some $34,000 a year to
run the police department. To find out
whether they are worth it, we must try
and figure out how much property would
be stolen, and how many other crimes
would be conunittcd if there was no po-
lice department at all. The value of a
police department like that Is like that of
a fire department or a board of health, is
based on its preventive action. It is not
altogether the number of burglars caught
in the act that counts. It is the number
of burglars kept away from other people's
safes that fixes the worth. It is the num-
ber of crimes prevented by the moral
effect of their presence that makes oflicers
of the law useful.- No city wants a board
of health simply for the purpose of point-
ing out smallpox. To be valuable. the
board must prevent smallpox and similar
evils. So, too, with policemen. Judged
on this basis, the police department is
worth every cent it cost. But for the
ofilccrs there would be a burglar on every
.corner. As it is, an important robbery is
very infrequent—News.
