Railroad Improvements.

The Consolidated road is preparing plans
for additions to its rolling 'stock which
will require an outlay of nearly $1,000,000.
Six or eight new locomotives which burn
anthracite coal are to be built for use on
the fast express trains. Anthracite coal
possesses many advantages as it causes
less smoke and cinders. About 175 loco-
motives are now in use on the different
divisions of the road.

One hundred new passenger cars are to
be built of the latest and most approved
design. These cars and locomotives will
be built in several different private estab-
lishments, as the shops of the road are
taxed to their utmost to keep the present
rolling stock in repair.

Superintendent Shepard, speaking in
regard to the delay in arranging for addi-

. tional fast night mail between New York
city and Boston,said that the Consolidated
road would run such a train if it was paid
for it, but that it would be very expensive
as but few people would care to travel
between the two points after midnight and
the train would carry little else but mail.
He said that he didn’t know of any ap-
propriation for this purpose.

E. Stewart Sumner, of Bridgeport, {1
well known bicycle rider, intends to make
an effort to have the Consolidated road
discontinue charging for the transportation
of bicycles when accompanied by owners.
Other roads make no charge.

Several officials went to New York Sat-
urday in President Clark’s new observa-
tion car. Each end of the car is fitted
with an observatory and the center is fur-
nished like a drawing-room car. It is
numbered 270.

 

 

The Derby Railroad.

President Sperry presided over a special
meeting of the Derby railroad directors,
Monday. Charles Atwater, John P. Tuttlc
and Herrick P. Frost resigned as directors,
arid W. H. Starbuck, President Bostwick of
the New England road and Colonel William
H. Stevenson were elected to fill the vacan-
cies thus created. A special meeting of the
stockholders will be held August 5 for the
purpose of changing some of the by-laws. It
was expected that President Sperry would
resign, but he did nothing of the kind, and
no attempt was made to oust him. In pri-
vate conversation Mr. Sperry said he had
been elected for a year and intended to serve
out his time. Mr. Starbuck reiterated his
statement that he has purchased the She-
.paug railroad.

An Older Paper than the “Gazette.”

It is generally believed that the Zimcs,
-of London, and the Gazette dc Frame, of .
'Paris, are the oldest papers in 'existencc, :
but this appcrrs to be a mistake. The
:lionors belong to the Chinese, who possess
a journal started nearly a thousand years
ago. Its name is the King-Pan. It was
founded, says a learned bibliopliist, in the
year 911 of the Christian Era. At first it
was published at irregular periods, but in
1361 it became a weekly. ’

In 1804 it underwent another transform-
ation, and appeared daily. It costs a
.hzllfpeuny, and issues three editions. The
morning edition, printed on yellow paper,
is devoted to commerce; the noon edition,
printed on white paper, contains official
acts and miscellaneous news; while the
evening edition, printed on red paper, is
taken up with political information and
leading articles. It is edited by six mem-
bers of thejAc-ademy of Science, and the
total sale of the three editions is 14,000
copies.

13—3" A New Style of Oyster Planting.

The Bridgeport News says: “Henry I.
Lewis, the oyster-mall, is about to adopt a
new plan in reference to his extensive
oyster beds. Heretofore it has been cus-
tonrary to buy oyster shells at six or eight
c'critsa bushel and dump them on the
beds to serve as breeding ground for
young oysters. This is an expensive me-
rhod of doing business. It has been dis-
covered that good clean gravel makes as
good a bed for oyster spawn as the shells,
and is much cheaper. Mr. Lewis has
purchased a piece of ground containing
the right kind of gravel, and will use the
dl'cdgc ill digging it out for use. The
dredge scoops it up from under the water
or from a bank at the water’s edge and ;
dumps it into the large scows holding,
several hundred yards. It is their towed
to the spot where it is wanted, and seat-
tcrcd over the bottom. There the young
oysters attach themselves to it. Mr.
Lewis is the first to adopt thisuew method
in this vicinity.”

Ye Olden Time.

Mr. A. C Arnold dropped into our office
yesterday to find the record of the first
meeting called to organize the First
Baptist church iii Nor-walk. He knew it
was ill the year1837 and bound volume
of the 'GAZETTE for that year was given
him and he opened it at Julyfi, and lo
and behold, the advertised notice, signed ‘
by him, was first inserted in the paper of
that date. The notice of the proposed
church here is served upon the Wilton
Baptistchilrcll, and the meeting called to
be held at the Brick school house at what

is now cuplionious Winnipauk.

.he knows, that the new seedling white
sweet currant is the best in the world,
and we fully accord with his view, for
while ill and craving acid he sent us a box j
of these luscious berries and no straw-
berry ever brought to our palate so subtle
and exquisite a sub—acid flavor It will

The Bridgeport Burglary.

Charles H. Doraus, alias John Strauss,
alias John Dorris, who is locked up at
Bridgeport on the charge of being con-
cerned in the burglary at Faircliiid’s jew-
elry store in that city, has been interview-
ed by the local reporters, and talks very
freely. He is very severe on the Bridge-
port detcctives. “These detectives," he
said, “are about as much in the proper
place in their present occupation as a pig
would be in a lady’s parlor. This man
Wood had me arrested without any evi-
dence whatever, and then seeing what a
bungling job he had made of it, asked me
if‘Icould‘not help him to find out who
the real offenders were. This is a pretty
position for a man of his pretentious to be
in.”

He confessed to having served a term
of one year in the Massachusetts house of
correction, and continued :

“In 18721was arrested in New York
for attempting tomake collections in the
false character of an official of the water
department. On the first hearing I was
discharged, because the complainant tried
to bribe to help him in defrauding the
city, biit I was re-arrested and on the sec-
ond trial received a sentence of two years
in Sing Sing. Since I finished that scn-
tence I have tried to live an honest life.
I don’t pretend to be perfect and I don't
know any one who is, but ill the last
twelve yearsIcan truthfully say that I
have done nothing more criminal than to
get intoxicated occasionally. But I have
not associated with crooks or visited their
resorts. So well have I conducted myself
in fact that some of the professional
crooks regard me as being a spy in league
with the authorities. But this is not true
either. The statements of the Boston
officer that I am an expert mechanic and a
maker of burglars’ implements is entirely
false. So is the statement that I had
trouble with my wife in Providence. I
am not a mechanic in any way, and never
was married. This point about my never
having been married I wish you w‘oul
make prominent, as I have been paying
attentions to a respectable woman in East
Bridgeport for the last three years, and do
not wish that she or her friends should
think that I have been assuming a false
character."

He concluded by saying that he could
satisfactorily account for the diamonds

found on his person when arrested.

A Close Call.

Miss Fannie Wilson, daughter of Mr. O.
E. Wilson, while bathing at Dorlon’s Point,
Monday afternoon, got beyond her depth,
and, becoming exhausted, sank twice before
she was rescued and taken ashore. It seems
she was with a merry party of batliers who
were sporting in the harbor and she at-
tempted to follow young William Thomas,
who swam out to deep water. When he
realized that if she came much further she
might be unable to get back, he shouted to
her that she had better go back, as the
water ' was very deep. This evidently
frightened her and. she lost her self pos-
Sessiou, struggled and sank. Mr. Thomas,
seeing her danger, swam to her and attempted
to take her to land, but being light and frail
himself, was unable to accomplish the task,
and she sunk the second time. At this
juncture, however, John McCanriuou, a
strong and excellent swimmer, took in the
situation, and immediately went to the res-
one and bore the now completely exhausted
young lady to shore, grasping her as she
was about sinking for the third time. She
was very weak biit did not lose conscious
ness, and was not fully able to realize her
narrow escape from drowning until after the
excitement of the affair had passed off.

A Nor-walk Boy Gone Wrong.

The New York Evening Sun' of Monday
says :—

Charles C. McLean, a young man dressed
iii-a blue and white flannel suit, was pla( ed
at the bar of the Jefferson Police Court this
morning charged with passing worthless
checks, a number of which were found upon
him when arrested.

This morning a number of complaints
were made to Inspector Byrires by busineSS
men that they had been swindled by means
of small checks, some $10, some $20 and
others as high as $60 each.

Detectives McNaught and Sherideli were
detailed by the Inspector, with special in-
structions, the Inspector being of the opinion
that the swindler was one of a gang, seine of
whom have recently fallen into the hands of
the police. The detectives learned that the
swindler would buy a. bill of goods from a
hand satchel to a ton of coal, and send them
to 20 Fifth Avenue.

For ten days loads of all kinds were
dumped at the door of No. 20. to the annoy-
ance of the inmates Air old man at the
door told the cartmen that the man who
sent them was a fraud. In those cases
where goods were sent a small hill. ce was
’ olleeted on the check.

At9o’clockthis morning the detectives
arrested McLean, ithe swindler, at Third
avenue and _Ninth street. He had in his
possession a number of checks ,u 7,2; the
American Loan and Trust .Compglihuy
and Second National bank, These ,were
made payable to C, J. McLean. One was
signed by 11. M. Clues, another Samuel It.
McLean, another C. M. Raymond and C. J.
McLean.

Young McLean is probably Charles J,
McLean, of Norwalk, and is believed by

many to be of unsound mind.

A Lost Tram.

A local freight left Hartford Saturday
at 4:30 p. in. New Britain, Plainville,
Forestville, Bristol and other way stations
were passed in quick succession. The
train dispatcher at Hartford had occasion
to telegraph the conductor of the frei lit
at Tcrgyville, The answer came, “ of;
here.“ A passenger train was then due at
Teri‘yvillle. The dispatcher immediately
wired : ”Hold the essepger for freight.”
An hour passed an still no sign of the
missing train. The officials because very
anxious; likewise the detained passen re,
A special engine was ordered from Haw
Britain to Tcrryville to learn the cause of
the fi'eight’s detention. The distance be-
tween the two places was quickly trav.
ersed. The freight had totally disappear-
ed. Mcn, women, children and other dis-
appearable things freqently disappear and
leave no trace behind; but a real live
freight train disappearing! Who ever
heard of such a thing? And yet such was
the fact, and it transpired rirht here in
Connecticut, on the New Yor and New
England railroad not many years ‘flgii.
Well, on the following Monday morning,
quite early, the missing train pulled info
’l‘crryville yard. Where had they been?
Oh, only down on an old unused spur in
the woods, out of sight from the main
line, It seems the train hands had been
overworked that week; the engineer was
overcome by drowsiness, and so they ran
their train off into .thc woods, banked
their fires, got fired at a farm house, and
ate and slept and talked the time away

Commissary Meeker informed us a few
days ago that his department would he in
good working order; that he had been
down to the fishing grounds and ascer-
tained that the blue and other fish were
just awaiting the coming of the Neptunes;
that the seats of his comm‘odious table
had all, save two, been secured by hungry
Neptunes, and that he expected the club
would score the best time on record.

In an interview with Sailiiig Master
Captain Lee, of Winsted, which We had
with him while on our recent visit with
our cousin in that lively town, he told us
that he intended to give the boys all the
sailing this year that they wanted; that
heretofore the sailing-roll had been largely
made up of new members, who would not
be satisfied unless they could spend much
of their time on land “sight-seeing,” blit
this year the secretary had informed
him the crowd would be mostly com-
prised of members who were real salts,
and he was going to give them what this
class had long lianlcered for—much sailing.
Postmaster Miller wishes us to give no-
tice that the address of the club will, as
usual, he Cottage City; that while the
Housman is sailing Captain Moore will
utilize his balloon in performing mail ser-
vice from the vessel to the Arcade; that
he, the postmaster, has engaged the form-
er postmaster, Ed. Keelcr, to accompany
Moore on these journeys, and that there
will be four trips each day—this, together
with the portable telephone, which the
club always carries, will afford constant
communication with home friends. We
wish we could take in this cruise, but
must remain and make 9. RECORD.

A Remarkable Idiot.
A despatch from Providence, R. I., to the

New York World says :—

One of the most remarkable instances of
idiocy, or lunacy, to be witnessed in any
part of the world may be seen in an old farm
house in the town of Smithfield, about seven
miles from this city. Albion Smith, nearly
forty years of age, is. fastened with strap and
maniclc in a small room, and usually naked,
and has been kept in this situation for many
years. This may seem incredible, but it is
nevertheless a fact, and, what may seem
equally incredible, is that nothing better
can be done with the man. He has been
an idiot from birth, or at least from infancy,
He has no intelligence whatever, not even
that of the lowest stage of the brute creation,
and does not even know his mother, who,
from babyhood up, has been his devoted
attendant.

The mail is well formed, his head is of the
round type and the brain apparently well
developed. He does not talk, but utters
shrieks and cries at intervals, and some-
times tears at his head with his hands as if
suffering pain. He is kept fastened to a
staple in the floor. not from fear of his dorng
violence to any one, to which he has never
shown a disposition, but from apprehension
that, in his utter helplessness, he might hurt
himself. His cries can sometimes be heard
for a quarter of a mile, but as the house
stands at some distance from the travelled
highway the public are not disturbed.

The State authorities investio ted the cpse
some time ago and came to t e conclusion
that the man was better off where he was
tlb'm he would be in a lunatic asylum,
the summer time he is sometimes taken out
and fastened to a tree for fresh air. The
case is especially singular for the reason
that the unfortunate man’s health is up.-
parently excellent, apart from his utter
idiocy. Be is the owner of a small property
and is under the guardianship of a relative,
the family being one of the oldest and most
respectable in the state, ‘

 

Connecticut Centenarian,
The Hartford Gourant thus writes up
some of the centenarians of Connecticut:

Arthur O'Kecfc, of Vernon, is of a long-
livcd. Irish stock, and can dance a break-
down at 100.

Mrs. Henry Lewis, of Monroe, is just
100, and can read, sew and write.

Mrs. Samuel Hall, of Cheshire, was born
in May, 1786, and is still able to knit.

Mrs. Abbey Smith, of Bozrah, reads
coarse print without spectacles at the age
of 105 years, 2 months. She is colored
and intelligent.

James Fuller, of Hampton, is in his
100.0) year, and can still drink hard cider
and ,rltke after a cart on the farm.

Eunice Saxtop pf Lebanon, was born
September 6, 1.84, and ever needed a
doctor. She Sfodd wi til fl,l,e walls of

Nancy Coley is a colored woman of
Easton, who has been taking snuff ninety
years. She was born in Faircliild, No-
vember 29, 1779, and her age is vouched
for by Charles Goodsell, of Easton, who
is over ninety years old. He says Nancy
was an old woman when he was twenty-
one years old. At her birth she was put
in a pewter teapot, and it was thought
she was too small to live long. Nancy
has been married four times, and she now
keeps house in a cabin of two rooms.

vicinity of the tents awake until after
midnight, ended by perhaps fatally injur-
ing her keeper early Thursday morning.
The regular keeper had been supplanted
by Eugene Mai-dinez, and this so enraged
the elephant that when Mardincz attempted
to quiet her she turned upon him, grasped
him with her trunk about the waist, and
hurled him into the air and across the
tent. He is now in the hospital and may
not recover. Empress was owned by
Barnum fora number of years She has
killed several men.

A Main street butcher is authority for
the statement that a calf jumped into the
Thames river at Gales’ Ferry Friday
morning after romping thrgpgli the fields

' until he was pearly wild,and when he

struck the water started down the river.
A strong fijesllet was running with tile
tidfl and the calf went down the Thames

after starting. The time made by the calf
is altogether faster than any record of the
college boat crews, but the butcher offers
towagcraswiz of but that the story is
not exaggerated and he, will prove his
statement if anybody wants to wager the
value of beef on the butcher’s veracity.+

The outlay of the grounds at Camp
Lounsbury will be materially the same as
last year. Assistant Quartermaster Gen-
eral Morgan will go to Niantic August lst
with a force of thirty men. and ,wlli spend
the time intervening between that date
and the encampment in putting the
grounds in order, erecting the tents to be
used by the brigade. and in other work
that must be done before the arrival of the
EWQPF.’ The tents will be sent from the
State arsenal 93"}? in the ,month, and for
ten days or more previous to the encamp-
ment men will hc'emplo ed putting them

The New Hartford Tribune says; “A.
remarkable affliction has come upon Dr.
E. D. Curtis’ eight months old spaniel
“Skip." Some two months ago a large
wart formed upon the nose of . the dog
which the doctor removed by an applica-
tion of potassium; immediately there
formed in and about the dog’s month an
innumerable mass of warts upon his
tongue, gum and lips.
1ai'ge were the warts, that they hung in
clusters about his lips. 'Although the dog’s
mouth is still ‘a ”sight“ in bp‘llold,’,’ the

it may be termed, is something unaccount-
able to Dr. Curtis, who says. he can find
no case on record which bears any com-
parison to it. It may be Worth the while
of some of our veterinarles to puzzle over
it.”
