Tire time lock of the safe of the Central
National Bank got off on a wild racket
over Sunday, and would not open Monday
according to rule. It caused some tem-

proved the safety of the lock however, as
if the bank officials could not get into their
own safe after two days' trial, what show
would a bank burglar have in a single

Before United States Commissioner
Platt, Frank Paul, who tended bar for

to March last, stated that Buddington had

Scoville’s on State street to obtain burnt
sugar with which to color the stuff. Com-
missiouer Plait found probable cause and
bound the accused over in $750 bonds.
The town of Nor-walk also went demo-

\crats got only what the state law allowed,
while we lost. one Candidate only on our
borough ticket, from purely local causes,

Newspaper men are not infrequently
met witlr.tlre remark: “Irlikc your paper
very well, but you have too much adver-
tising in it.” Well, if there was no adver-
tising matter your paper would cost you
more money; and second, the man who
does not get more than the cost of a news-
paper out of his advertisements in a year,
is but little interested in what he buys. or
wirerc he buys it. You can learn from
any one issue of a paper where to save
more than the yearly cost of a paper, by
directing you where ~you can buy good
goods at lowest prices. The closest buyers
in the wholesale market—tire most enter-
prising men the world over—are invariably
large advertisers. They can give you bar.

——-What the Danbury Democrat says of
the large exhibit of dry goods and carpets
made by The D. M. Read Companyz—On
entering the main building from the north
side the first thing to attract the eye of the
visitor is the grand and gorgeous display
of carpets and dry goods made by the D.
M. Read company of Bridgeport. Loads
of carpets, laces and curtain goods artisti-
cally draped from ceiling to floor, form a
magnificent spectacle that excites the
admiration of all lovers of the beautiful,

Ex-Govcrnor Wm. B. Washbnrn of

man. He served his state in the lower
House of Congress and in the Senate, and
was subsequently elected Governor of
Massachusetts. lie was a warm friend of
the late Senator O. S. Ferry and came to
Nor-walk to attend his funeral. His death,
caused by heart failure, is a personal be-
reavement to others here.
The borough of Norwalk is certainly to
be congratulated in that it has chosen as
its municipal agents and rulers for the
ensuing year its best citizens and its first
class business men. It is rarely that this
type of urea will consent to give their
time and efforts for the public good, but
we believe in the case of every member of
our newly elected borough board, they
are rrrcn who have proveu their ability to
successfully manage their own, business
affairs, and may therefore be expected to
know lrow to manage for the public with
success. Messrs. Buckley, Stout and Kim-
mey, are decided acquisitions in thclinc
of level headed business qualities.

The Journal gives the particulars of the
terrible fate of Brakemau Waterbury at
East Nerwalk as follows: \Vm. Water-
bury, a young man about 23 years old and
a brakemau on the Consolidated, road fell
from the cars of the freight train arriving
here about 9.30 p.m. Tuesday night, near
the crossing beyond the railroad bridge in
East Norwalk. He was missed from the
train by the other brakemen, who at‘once
set out to search for him. They found
Waterbury terribly mangled, his bowels
protruding and his right leg and right arm
almost out OK. The Boston express com-
ing along, was signalled to stop, and took
the body» to this depot. Waterbury ex-
pired before reaching the depot, and the
remains were taken to undertaker Gre-
gory, wherc they await the arrival of the
father of the deceased, who lives at west
48th street, New York City.
The marriage of Miss Jessie T. Selleck
to Mr. William E. Duncan was solemn-
izcd at 2:30 on Wednesday afternoon at
the residence of the bride’s father, Cap-
tain Lands Selleck on Main Street, South
N orwalk, by the Rev. Colonel Anderson.
The ceremony was performed in the pres-
ence of a small party composed only of
the relatives of.the contractrng parties and
was a quiet and modest affair owing to
the recent death of the bride’s mother.
The bridal pair took the 4:53 train for
New York for a tour of ten days or two
‘ivecks duration, and will visit friends in
Philadelphia and Baltimore. On their re-
turn they will make their home with Capt.
Selleek. A splendid lot of presents, use-
ful and ornamental as well as valuable,
were displayed as tokens of fredndship
and esteem, from their numerous acquaint-
ances. The young and estimable couple
have our hearty congratulations.
One of the new statutes of Connecticut
.is likely to prove troublesome to gentlemen
of errant conrrubinl affections, it making
a state prison crime of an offence that
hitherto was looked upon by the law as. a
sort of misdemeanor—with mitigating crr-
cumstanccs, perhaps. Tire new law pro-
vides that “descrtion of a wife and sup-
port Of another woman” is a felony, and
the penalty is imprisonment in the state
prison for three years. Oliver J. Fanning,
of New Haven, has been the first man to
violate it, and when his case comes on for
trial he wrll leaf-n what a funny difference
there is between a felony and a misde-
meanor. The statute is a partial and one-
sidcd one, however; it provides no punish-
ment for the woman who deserts her hus-
band and supports another man. As far
as we can see, scores of wives may draw
their support with impunity, and go to
work to support some other man, and the
deserted husbanc‘ has no redress whatever
—cxccpt, perhaps, to go to work himself.

Mr. George Poole of No N York City
entertained the young men at their Merri-

exceedingly practical. He emphasized
the need of careful, sysetmatic exercise in
the use of light weights. His swinging of
the Indian clubs was appreciated by all
and caused much envy. Exercise of a
practical kind was given to the young
men in the development of their maxillcry
muscles and digestive organs by the use
of apples and nuts. Mr. Ambler the Pres-

and pleasing address won the confidence

Danbury Fair. ‘
An immense and unprecedented crowd
visited the Danbury Fair. It is computed
that more Nor-walk people were there than
attended the county show. The show of
cattle, poultry and dogs was superb. That
of fruits and vegetables, with agricultural
implements, exceedingly fine. Tire show of
ladies’ industrial and fine arts, not equal to
sorrre previous years. ' Indeed, at our County
Fair, there were nrany specimens of ladies’
embroideries, paintings, quilts and the like,
mach superior to any at Danbury. Hall &
Co. and Tire D. M. Read Co. made immense
displays of their attractive goods. Tire
“‘ Star ” Shoe Store, of N orwalk, took the
lead of everything else in their line. The
Smith, or Norwalk Pottery Co. Works, had
a clay wheel in operation, and turned out
and sold lots of flower vases, &c. Moslrer
had a case of his goods on sale, and Alder-
man Fred Mead and Charley D’Artoise fed
the hungry multitudes in their own un-
rivalled way. In the line of house furniture
and chamber sets, no one had a display that
was at all equal to the exhibit made by J.
B. Ells, of Norwalk, at the County Fair.
But in its crowd of people the Danbury Fair
is really the ‘f greatest show on earth.”

Invitations are out for the wedding of
Miss Florence Bucklin, of Cleveland, Ohio,
and John Winfield Scott, of South Nor-
walk, the marriage to be solemnized in
Idak Chapel, Cleveland.
We hereby nominate Major James C.
Crowe as the Republican candidate for
Mayor in 1888. There is no secret caucus
or private ballots about this, but open and
above board, a unanimous nomination of
one.
Tire fine block of cottage houses erected
on Tolles and Day streets are about com-
plete, making that part of the city quite
attractive. There is now but one vacant
lot on that street, which is owned by Mr.
Lichtblau.
Editor and instructor Lyon has cause
for rejoicing. His srx cozy cottages on
Bayvicw avenue are now completed, and
occupied by tenants who are entirely satis-
factory to him, while many'lrouses on the
flat are empty.
Some time since the prediction was made
in this column, that the democratic
nominees for city officers would be elected.
It was scoffed at and pohoo’d by certain
wire pullers and ganders, as a thing im-
possible. We know that tlrc editor, the
tall sycamore, and the hatter now admit
that the prediction was well founded.
It is an unfortunate circumstance that
certain absolutely necessary repairs at the
Franklin street school house should not
have been made during the recess in July
and August. There is a great contrast
between this and the committee’s work
two years since, all repairs were then com-
pleted before the lst Sept. The basement
of the school and many robms are filled
with materials and dirt which annoy the
teachers. The janitor says it is the worst
job he ever had.
. The festival, fair and musical soiree
given by the dairymaids of the city, at
Music Hall on Wednesday evening, was
novel and faseinating,consequently a finan-
cial success. A Danbury gentleman who
was present, says he had no idea there
were so many beautiful and attractive
dairymaids in the town of N orwalk. Most
of those .who took part were volunteers,
and all sustained their parts well, espe-
cially the singers, and they are very happy
that their names were not mentioned in
the city papers. Tire applause received at
the hall was sufficient.
Politics was unusually .lively in the city-
ca'rly on Monday morning. Generally,
until two years since, the election has been
on strictly party lines, but this year, for a
month past, there had been an indication
of a new departure. The game of select-
ing nominees for republican oflices at the
headquarters of the democrats, and there
made at the suggestion of democratic
leaders, was too flagrant an usurpation of
power, and when at. a private consultation
of so-callcd republicans, these nominees
were accepted, and when at the city can.
cus it was found that printed ballots had
been prepared at the Sentinel office, all
numbered q “for convenience only,” and
when on the informal ballot for Mayor,
, written ballots were cast but not an-
nounced by the teller, it was too evident
that the whole matter had been fixed, and
whoever voted 3 written ballot was to be
boycotted, and it proved true, as for many
, of the minor offices new and untried men
iwcrc placed in nomination, while tried,
; lifelong republicans were discarded. The
' result has been announced, and proves
that there is yet an important factor which
must be considered in makingnonrirrations
for ofllcc.

were invited to National Hall where a col-
lation had been prepared to which ample
justice was done.
On Thursday evening about 8 o’clock,
E. S. Wheeler’s large barn was discovered
to be on fire. An alarm was rinsed but
before anything could be done the fire
had gained such headway that it was im-
possible to save the building. The two
engines and the hook and ladder truck
were on the scene as soon as possible and
were of use in saving adjoining buildings.
As it was, a small barn belonging to Mr.
Thomas Hill was also burned. Nothing
was saved from the building which con-
tained two horses, carriages, harnesses,
hay and a large quantity of property usual—
ly stored in a barn. The loss is estimated
at $4,000.

NE lV-CANAAIV.
Mn. Enrrorzz—I see in your notice of the
late town elections you say, “All hail
New Canaan!" as though there was some-
thing wonderful or strange about it. The
victory won itself. You don’t seem to
take in the situation as you will see that
the republican vote increases in propor-
tion to the no license. New Canaan will
be a temperance town hereafter. There-
fore we shall carry it nearly unarrimorrs
in ’88.
Tire above may be rather spicy for your
columns, nevertheless it is true. What
would democracy be without grog shops?
Every vote cast outside the republican
party is for rum and the prohibitiouists of
this town have found it out, as they had
no candidate in the field.
