Tire most important happening of recent years, in this great country of ours, was Philadelphia’s celebration, last week, of the one hundredth anniversary of the adoption, of the Federal Constitution. It .was very properly made a momentous occasion. For the whole last three days of the week all‘ business possible, was suspended and only railroads, steamers and hotels seemed strain- ed to their utmost capacities in dealing with the immense masses of people which thronged the Quaker City. It was estimated that on Thursday not less than amillion and ahalfof strangers were added to the ini- mense local population, and on Friday there could have been scarcely less. Five thous- and persons tramped the streets all night, the papers stated, because of their inability to get lodgings, while other tens of thousands slept in vans, cars, boats, sheds, stations, saloons, &c., wirile a hundred thousand or more were quartered about among the pri- vate residences of the city. Scores of hotels and restaurants were obliged to close their dining rooms on Friday, because of the utter inability to replenish their stocks of pro- visions to feed these masses of visitors. Probably so large a crowd was never before congregated on the Western Hemisphere, and the jam of people was, after all, the grandest Sight witnessed in the everywhere gcorgeously decorated city. Thursday was given over to a parade of the various civic and trades people. The line was seventeen miles long and it was dark before the last of it passed out of Broad street. Friday was military day, and the im- mense procession was seven hours in passing. The Governors of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia and Connecticut evoked the loudest and most prolonged cheers. Governor Lounsbury and staff were followed by the Governor’s Foot Guards of Hartford, who marched with a perfect precision, and their unique semi-continental uniforms, elicited no end of vociferous applause. Our Gover- nor and General Oimstead rode about as fine looking steedsas any in the line, and no riders sat their horses more gracefully. I Saturday was given over to a Memorial observance of the occasion in front of Inde- pendence Hall. The opening was a chorus by 2000 children of the public schools and prayer by Bishop, Potter. An address was given by Hon. John A. Kassou, and the benediction by Cardinal Gibbons of Mary- land. ‘ There was fitting propriety in Connecticut taking so active and prominent a part in this great celebration. One which our legis- lature recognised and which Governor Lounsbury heartily espoused. It was in Connecticut, as is clearly proven by Prof. Alexander J olmston, in his “ History of American Commonwealths,” that our government “ of the people, by the people, for the people,” first took shape, and the American form of Commonwealths or States was originated by Rev. Thomas Hooker of Hartford, and he it was who supplied the fundamental basis of the national constitu- tion adopted zit Philadelphia one hundred years ago. ————-‘~——..O—__‘-‘—' Our Borough. It is probable, and on every account dc- sirable, that the personale of the next courtof burgesscs shouldbe essentially the same as at present. There would seem to be no good cause for a change at this time when our sewers arc in process of con- struction, and a change might seriously interfere with a prompt and speedy com- pletion of the work, if not bring about obstructions that would indefinitely hinder the work and render the portions now being constructed of little practical value. Burgess Frank Comstock "will, of course, not be renominated, having taken up his residence in South Norwalk, and an effort is being put forth to induce Dr. C. B, Coolidge, Gen. Charles Olmstead, E. O. Keelcr, John Treadwell or George R Cowles to accept a place on the ticket. Mr. Coolidge or any of the others named, would fill the position with personal credit and to the advantage of the public. Never- theless the nearer we can keep to the pres- ent borough board organization, the safer and better will the public interests be pro- tected and served, pending the completion of the great and costly work of our gen- eral sewer system. .____._4.._____ The Cost of Sham. According to the Boston Uommerciali Bulletin. this country has lost by fires an average of $10,000,000a month during the present year. The owners lraven’t lost that much. Many of them have been in- sured and have recovered a considerable portion of their private losses. But the actual loss to the wealth of the country has been the value of the goods and pro- perty' burned. Tire insurances pard the owners have been simply taxes levied on the owncrs of other property which didn’t burn. The actual loss to the country has been measured by the total destruction, not by the, net iosscs to owners, after in- snrunce lras been deducted. Tire property burned has ceased to exist. It has been wiped out. It is a dead loss. Tcu million dollars a month; over a hundred million a year! That is what we pay in this country for the privilege of erecting sham buildings and of being carc- lcss with them. It is twice as much as the entire interest on the national debt >———-—v~——< o>——--—— A New Governor. Connecticut had a new Governor last week in the person of Senator Walsh, of Greenwich, as both Governor Lounsbury and the Lieutenant-Governor of our state were at Philadelphia. We trust it may not be many years before we can have the pleasure of seeing Mr. Walsh Governor by a majority of the votes of tlIc- people of our gallant statc.‘ Of course we nrrrst run Senator E. J. Hill first; but after Nor- walk supplies its most popular Hill, then ' we will go for old “Put's Hill,” and bring out Walsh, as no better timber for a Gov- ernor can be found anywhere than in the ' person of Hon. R. J. Walsh. School Opening. —Mrs. A. H. Bissell’s Beldcn Avenue school «pens on Wednesday the 28th .of September. 3t 37 . How theiuaw Operates. The newspapers have reported during the past week that the Consolidated R. R. directors have recently voted to take im- mediate steps to abolish all of the grade crossings on their road between New Haven and the state line, at once. As- suming that the board of R. R. Commis- sioners will cxercise the power given them under the law as leniently toward the towns as they have recently used it, in apportidning the expense at Fitch’s cross- ing, town of Norwalk, the result can be readilyapproximatcd. Thcapportionmcnt in that particular case will reach, accord- ing to the costjof the land taken for the new highway ordered, from thirty to for- ty per cent, it being not to exceed twelve hundred dollars towards construction and the purchase of the right of way in addi- tion. All of the expenditures to be made by the Company and the town being ordered to reimburse it, when the work is completed. By the way, it is said that a distinguished railroad manager made this reply to a gentleman who asked him if it was a fact that New York city paid one half of the cost of the 4th avenue entrance into that city. “Yes, they paid one lraif and I am very glad they paid the half that they did, for the other half was not nearly as much.” We venture to assume that no stronger case for a town can be found than Fitch’s crossing in the town of Nor- walk, a road in existancc more than two hundred years, and upon which the town had expended hundreds of dollars to afford the people access to it without imminent danger to their lives. The best authorities in the state assume an average cost of separating the grades of railroads and highways in the state at seven thousand five hundred dollars. The cost on this division of the Consoli- dated rond will far exceed this average,” one at South Norwalk running up to one hundred and twenty-five thousand, one at Stratford to thirty thousand, and what the Bridgeport crossing would cost can only be imagined. But assuming the average cost, the towns must prepare to face this bill which will shortly be presented for payment by the Consolidated R. R.: The Top of Greenwich. 5 cros‘s‘ings, $15,000 Stamford, 11 33,000 “ “ Darien 6 “ 18,000 “ “ Norwalk 5 “ 15,000 " " West ort 5 “ 15,000 “ “ Fai eld 14 " 42,000 “ “ Bridgeport 24 “ 72,000 “ “ Stratford 7 “ 21,000 “ “ Milford 11 . “ 33,000 “ “ Orange 3 “ 9,000 Total, - - - $273,000 This is probably the smallest amount which these t0wns would be called upon to pay toward the reconstruction of this line of railroad. If now, land damages are to be con- sidered, and they must be paid. if a possi- bility of a fifty per cent apportionment, as in the case of the city of Hartford is con- sidered. is it not a fair calculation that the actual total expense incurred by this com- pany which these ten towns will be called upon to pay will be over, rather than under five hundred thousand dollars, and all this in accordance with laws enacted by the representatives of these very towns. Certainly no harsh criticism can be in- dulged in against the Consolidated com- pany, for just over the line, in the state of New York, this same company is cheer- fully paying every dollar of these expenses, because, forsooth, no Legislature there has ever dreamed of compelling the towns tobear “not to exceed fifty per cent of the construction account" of the railroads rrrnning through them. Is it not time that this law was repealed in Connecticut? Is it not high time that the people’s money, if it is to be expended by any-one, should be expended by the people and for their benefit, rather than for the benefit of railroad corporations ? Many a town in Connecticut to-day, is suffering-undcra load of debt incurred in building railroads which have passed out' of their control and in which they have not a dollar’s interest. Is not a law which compels such towns to practically share in the cost of a recon- struction of these same roads an outrage upon the tax-payers and a robbery of the many for the benefit of the few? Under the skillful manipulation of railroad at- torneys, these laws have been enacted. Under the some influence the biennial session amendment was adopted and now that the state is bound hand and foot for two years, this law, which has been prac- tically dormant since 1876, is to be invoked and the whole schcmc consummated. What will the Governor do about it? x x x Mr. Cleveland’s Views on Journalism. We are now indebted to the President for at least four very distinct expressions of his opinion of American newspapers, and the way In which they would be con- ducted if they were made with special re- gard to suiting his ideas. About two years ago Mr. Cleveland wrote as follows to Mr. Joseph chpler, one of the proprietors of Puck: “I don’t think there ever was a time . when newspaper lying was so general and so mean as at present, and there never Was a country under the sun where It flourished as it does in this.” That is the broad and general proposi- tion with which he started. The next year Mr. Cleveland favored a J acksonvillc editor, Mr. C. H. Jones, with a further de- claration of his views on American jour- nalism: “I am surprised that newspaper talk should be so annoying to you, who ought so Well to understand the utter and corn- plete recklessness and falsification in which they so generally indulge." A few months later Mr. Cleveland chose a convivial gathering at Cambridge, Mas- sachusetts, as a proper occasion for a third deliverance: “The silly, mean and cowardly lies that every day are found in the columns of certain newspapers which violate every instinct of American manliness and In ghoulish glee dcsecrate every sacred rela- tion of private life." Another year has passed, and what Mr. Cleveland now objects to above all other things In American journalism, as confided ‘ by him to a representative of Mr. Pulit- zer’s newspaper. is: . “The republishing of the comments of . newspapers hostile to Me and My Pur- pose.” - The capitals are ours. We are getting, little by little, it tolerably full and clear notion of the President’s opinion of the American press, and his theory of the proper attitude of the American press to- wards Him and His Purpose—Sun. It is to be remembered that the Presi- dent only reads Democratic and Mugwump papers. ———<§>———————— Agricultural Fairs. New London County—Norwich, Sept. 20-22. Fairficld County—Norwalk, Sept. 20-22.

Michael Francis Kcllcy, rector of the St. Augustine Roman Catholic church, in Bridgeport, died Sunday, after Wedding Bells. One of the most charming weddings that has delighted New Haven society in recent years wasthat of Miss Helen F. Nichols, daughter of Hon. John W. Nichols, general agent of the New York Mutual Life Insurance company for the state of Connecticut, to Mr. E. E. Hall, Jr., of the well-known firm of E. E. Hall 8: Son, of New Haven. The wedding ceremOnics were at the little Trinity Episcopal church at Brauford. The re- ception was at Mr. Nichols’ country seat, “Cherry Hill,” one of the finest estates in western Connecticut. Great numbers of the best people of New Haven, Brauford, the state and other sections of the country were in attendance. At ten minutes after seven the two little maids of honor, Miss Clara Nichols, of Fall River, Mass., and Miss Bertha Colycr, of New York, arrived at the church. They were beautifully dressed in white, and carried mammoth bouquets of roses. They were closely followed by the bridesmaids, Miss Burt, of Middletown, Miss Jerauld, of Niagara Falls, N. Y., Miss Spaulding, of Lowell, Mass, and Miss Barnes, daughter of E. Henry Barnes, of New Haven. Mr. Nichols arrived a moment later with his daughter, the bride. She was attired in a white satin en train with trimmings of duchesse lace and orange blossoms. The bridal procession was formed in the vesti- bule of the church, and consisted of the ushers, Walter Nichols, brother of the bride, Dr. C. P. Lindsley, N. M. Cooke and Frank A. Kellogg, the maids of honor and bridesmaids, and the bride leaning on the arm of her father. They walked up the aisle of the church to “Lohcngrin” wedding march. Attire altar Rev. M. K. Bailey stood awaiting them, and the groom and groomsman, Lewis N. English, there joined them. At the conclusion of the ceremony Mendelsohn’s wedding march was played while the‘ procession flied out of the church. . The reception was held at Mr. Nichols’ beautiful home on Cherry Hill. Mr. and Mrs. Hall were the first to arrive there, and were greeted by a large greyhound, the property and pet of the late Colonel Henry Allen, which ran down stairs giving every evidence of joy. The house and grounds were brilliantly illuminated. Chinese lanterns had been strung along the walks, and the spacious piazzas were completely shut in by canvas, furnishing pleasant places for dancing. Shortly after Mr. and Mrs. Hall’s arrival singing was heard down toward the base of the hill, and a moment later the bridesmaids alighted from their carriage closely fol lowed by the ushers. * In one of the rooms on the second floor of the house were arranged the wedding presents, making a beautiful display' Almost everything which would tend to makehome attractive and cheerful by way of ornament ‘was included, and there was silver and china enough to furnish a dozen dinner tables, also engravings, .paintings, clocks, silver bowls and pitch- era, cut glass ware, etc. Mrs. Hall’s par. ents presented her with a solid silver dinner set. The bridal party were driven to New Haven in time to take the mid- night train for Washington and the south. The wedding was the most brilliant afiair ever witnessed in that section of the state, and many were invited from Norwalk and vicinity._____‘»___ The Consolidated Road- Eorron RECIsrcaz—I noticed by the papers that the Consolidated road is trying to buy a cemetery in Middlet-iwn. Can you inform me whether they expect 10 make it the resting lace of their numerous victims at grade cross- ings? The notion would seem to boa. now one, but the shocking accidents of the past weeks would seem to compel the road either to abolish crossings at grade, or take some ac- tion like that suggested above. I am too cou- servative for that new departure. The grade- crossrngs must go. PRO Boxofl’unuco. New Haven, Conn., Sept. 6, 1887. The writer of this communication is not a whit more solicitous than we are to see the grade-crossings along the several lines of the Consolidated road abolished. As forgthat matter we want to see them abolished, on the lines of all the roads in the state. But we also see a reason at this time for remaining patient a little while longer. For years the Consolidated railroad has been managed upon a narrow and selfish basis. The comfort and safe- ty ofits patrons have not occaisoned its management any perceptible annoyance. Its one aim has been to make it a good in- vestment- for its shareholders. To this end, cheap and uncomfortable rolling stock has been used, bad] arranged time tables have been the or or of the day; in fact the management has conducted the affairs of the road with that assurance and consideration of self which history shows us in the nature of a big monopoly. But to-day there is noticeable a decided change in this Ioad’s method of doing bus- iness. There is an evident disposition on the part of the new management to cater to every proper demand of the traveling public. All along its lines, improvements, long needed, butiong delayed, are being made. New t'acks are being laid, the road beds are being improved, stations ' are being enlarged, grade ems-sings are either being better protected or abolished altogether; in short an immense am- mount of money is being expended to put the road in the best possrble condi- tion. In view of these facts, which, as we have said, prove conclusively the adoptionof a. broader and more liberal pol- icy on the part .of its management, we are decidedly of the opinion that the public can afford to wait patiently for further developments, before rendering a verdict questioning the sincerity Of the present management. The Register has never hesitated ,to boldly criticise the Consolidated road. It will not fail to do so in the future, when occasion demands it. We receive no fa- vors whatever from the road, either by way of passes or otherwise. We sim l'y acknowledge, frankly, the advantages trat have already followed a change ofman- agemcnt, and upon them as a basis we build our hopes that in time the road will of its own volition take up and thorough- ly settle the grade crossing question.— Register. —Tirc Ifirowckceper for October will corr- tain a full account of the wedding of the managercss of that paper in the Minneap- olis, Minn., exposition, on the evening of September 28, together with accura‘...n de- scriptions and illustrations of the partici- pants’ wedding dresses and presents.

Will Shortly Appear in this Paper! r Bret Harte has written many delightful stories, but the romance of petite, viva- cious and audacious little THANKFUL BLOSSOM is undoubtedly one of the most exquisite of the great number of novels emanating from his pen. . Located in New Jersey, in Revolution- arytirnes, it deals with Gen. Washington and his immediate surroundings during one of the darkest periods of the great struggle for independence. It is just his- torical enough to possess an added charm on that account. The story has lots of healtbfm excite- ment about it, and enough love, treachery and romance to give it zest. After some thrilling and not a few funny incidents, the heroine marries a gal- lant major in Gen. Washington’s army, and all and: well. .:- __ .
