Fairfleld County Agricultural Society
. Saved.
At a special meeting of the directors
and friends of the Fair-field County Agri—
cultural society, held at Bridgeport on
Friday last, the financial condition and
general situation of this venerable associ-
ation was fully examined and discussed.
The Bridgeport.stockholders evinced the
utmost good feeling, and expressed a
strong desire to have the society put upon
a sound haggeand to be permanently es-
tablished he on its own grounds in Nor-
walk. President Watson and Director
Wheeler went so far as to pledge as a gift
their personal ownings in its stock, if by
so doing it could be relieved of debt and
placed in the hands of energetic Norwalk
parties to hereafter direct its management.
A paper was then drawn up and signed
by Messrs. Nathaniel Wheeler, Colonel
Watson and Edwin Hoyt guaranteeing
$2,000 for the cancellation of the society’s
floating debt, and upon this guarantee
Colonel Watson came to Norwalk and
arranged a satisfactory settlement w
Builder Wilson so that the attachm .
its funds was released, and now th -'
miums and bills can be immediately p'
The plan of some dozen or more Norwalk
men of spirit and enterprise taking hold
of its future management was earnestly
approved, and our Bridgeport friends, in
addition to pledging a gift of their stdflr,
also promised their heartiest co-operation
towards making the fairs of the society
successful if such a Norwalk syndicate
could be formed. The statement that
Bridgeport desrred its removal to that city
was denounced as idle badinage of irre-
sponsible parties. The necessary grounds
for its accommodation there, Mr. Wheeler
asserted, could not be had for 'less than
from sixty to seventy thousand dollars.
The present financial condition of the
society was shown to be some nine thous-
and dollars better off than when, some
years ago, the present Bridgeport direc-
tion stepped in to save it from bankrupt-
cy. At the annual meeting to be held
here in Norwalk in December definite
action will be taken in regard to its future
and the obliteration of all its floating
debts. Meantime yesterday’s Bridgeport
News gives for our contemplation the fol-
lowing new scheme :
“The Housatonic Railroad company has
purchased thirty acres of land on their
line west of Parlor Rock. Vice-President
Stevenson has been in consultation with
Colonel Watson, president of the society,
and on the part of the railroad has tender-
ed the society the land properly fenced in
with a race course, grand stand and
buildings necessary for the exhibits. In
addition to this the company will transfer
all material for exhibition to and from the
grounds free. This proposition will prob-
ably be laid before the annual meeting in
December, when it may be decided to
dispose of the grounds at Norwalk and
accqpl’; the offer of the llousatonic rail-
I'Olll. .

That N. Y. a Boston Rapid Transit R. R.
Governor Bodwell of Maine, has permit-
ted himself to be interviewed in regard to
the prospects of the new New York & Boston
Rapid Transit scheme, of which he is presi-
dent, and which is'a through consolidation
of all the various “parallel” schemes which
have hitherto alternately whetted the de-
sires and dampened the hopes of the people
all the way from one great city to the other.
He says :—
“We are making a thorough survey of this
great inland railway. Our engineers were
employed all last winter and for the past
two months we have expended from $60,-
000 to $75,000 in surveying alone. That is
a sufficient guarantee that we are in earnest.
I have no doubt that the road will be built
and unless there is a financial panic, it will
be begun much sooner than most people im-
agine.
“Any one who travels as frequently as I
do between Boston and New York must be
convinced that there is a real anxiety for
a new line which will afford quicker and
more comfortable transportation between
these two great cities,and when we are ready
to present the scheme to capitalists, I be-
lieve we can get the money to build it. We
have aclrarter that takes us into the city of
New York down to Fifty ninth street, and
the Legislature, seeing what we have done,
has passed a bill by which no other roadjcan
get into New York without a permit from
the city and additional legislation which
will be expensive.
“The inerease in travel between New
York and Boston the last few years has been
great, and with the added facilities which
the rapid transit will furnish, reducing the
time byponsiderable, the travel will be still
greater in proportion to the increase of pop-
ulation, enough to support another road. I
have the utmost faith in the success of the
scheme. It will be built and built honestly.
The report of the survey will be made in
about a month and the road can be built in
about a year. The entrance to Boston is in-
tended to be on the north side of the city,
connecting with all the northern and eastern
lines.”
Our local parties in interest assure us
most positively that the commencement and
completion of this through line, is a matter
of the very near future. It is designed to
secure the shortest and best line, and have
but one ownership and management for the
entire line between Boston and New York.
Their boast is that the distance is to be
shortened over any other present route be-
tween thirty and forty miles and an hour
and a half in time saved in their running
time. We are promised fuller information
of its designs in a few days.

Rev. Mr. Clapp.
The friends of the gifted young rector
of St. Paul’s are deeply concerned about
his health. It is well-known that for a
considerable time past he has been a great
sufferer from catarrlial affection of the
raucous membrane of the head, throat
and stomach. To these terrible sufferings
have been added all the number-less and
complicated ills of deep seated and obsti-
nate malaria. I-Iis Nor-walk physician,
Dr. J. G. Gregory, has from the first urged
him to cease from his clerical labors and
try some change of scene and climate.
This the rector, until the past week, has
refused to do. His condition becoming
worse his old physician, Dr. Delevan, of
New York, was sent for, and, in consulta-
tion with Dr. Gregory, the two, after a
thorough examination and consideration
‘ of his case, insisted that it was his impera-
tive duty to go at once to New York,
where he could receive more constant and
thorough treatment from a skillful special-
ist. Under these earnest entreaties from
his doctors and his friends Mr. Clapp
yielded and has left for New York, ac-
companied by his family, for the treat-
ment outlined by his physicians. His
pulpit is to be supplied by Rev. Mr.
Selleck.
The report which has found its way into
the papers that Mr. Clapp has received a
very flattering call from a church in
Baltimore, if true, will have no influence
on his present purpose to return to the
church and people he loves so well just
so soon as his hoped for restoration to
health and strength will permit.

Purely “Voluntary.”
It was a curious coincidence, says The
Palladium, but. of course nothing more,
that the very day succeeding the an.-
uounccment of President Cleveland's con—
tributiou to the New York democratic
campaign fund, a. representative of the
democratic committee of tha‘. state Should
have visited ~,Washingtou for the purpose
of receiving the “voluntary contributions”
of such clerks-and others as chose to
“chip in" for the assistance of the party
in the empire state.
This agent was very sauvc and wanted
to be understood by all, especially by
newspaper correspondents, that no .
"coercion" was to be exercised. The
clerks were to give or net, as they
pleased, and in such sums as they pleased.
Still it was noticed that the most ofj
them seemed to have a feeling that it was
discreet to pay, and the agent of the com-
mittee returned to New Yank with a com-
fortable little, sum to add to President
. Cleveland‘s thousand dollars.
'The Grade Crossing Conference.
Pursuant to invitation of Governor
Lounsbury a considerable number of
members of the legislature and/0f town
officers met at the capitol Monday noon to
explain their views as to an extra session
of the legislature for action in the grade
crossing matter.
President Clark of the Consolidated road
with Mr. Henry C. Robinson and Mr.
Lyudc Harrison were present at the out-
set by invitation. They asked the object
of the meeting, and being told it was to
hear opinions as to the need Of a
special session of the legislature on
the grade crossing law, Mr. Robinson said
they were not there to discuss the pro-
priety of the Governor’s calling an extra
session.
Among the others present, fifty or more
in all, were Senators Walsh, Hill, Kirk-
ham, Henry, Coflin and Leach, ex-Senators
Scofield and Coc, Mayor Bulkcley and Mr.
C. J. Cole;
Governor Lounsbury sard he was here
by request of persons from several towns,
who thought they could show that an em-
ergency existed sufficient to warrant. the
calling of a special session.
Mr. S. H. Lord, of Old Saybrook, pre—
sented a vote of that town asking fora
. .special session. Gov. Lounsbury asked if
etownhad tried to come to any ami-
,blc agreement with the railroad. Mr.
, rd said. it had not. Governor Louns-
I bury said he had been informed that since
his request to the railroad commissioners
to make no further orders, at present towns
had ceased to make any effort at accom-
modation. ,
Mr. C. L.,Clark andMI. C. AsClapman,
of Westb " described the situation in
that townf". . believed the sentiment of
the tax-payers of the town was in favor of
an extra session.
Mr. Roger Welles, of Newington, said
there were five -gradc' crossings in that
town, all ov r‘ ancient highways. One
such crossing ad beenlordercd abolished
and $2,000 of the cost put on the town.
The people felt this was not fair, and had
voted to resist payment.
Mr. Wells, of Wethersfield, thought
there should be a meeting of representa-
tives of the towns and of the railroad com-
panies.
First selectlnau Meigs, of Madison, said
that town had ten grade crossings, of
which the Consolidated road said seven
should be bridged.
Mr. Lean’ler Stevens, from the town of
Clinton, said the abolition of a grade cross-
ing in that town had been ordered, the
town having no voice in the matter. The
trains were run over the crossings at a
speed that made them very dangerous.
The town had voted unanimously in favor
of a special session. The commissioners
and the railroads seemed to be about the
same thing.
Mr. W. Glover appeared as counsel for
the town of Fairfield. He said the town
believed that exigency sufficient to war-
rant calling a special session certainly ex-
isted. The town could [not see why the-
town should pay any parttf the cost of
protecting life at crossings made by the
railroad for its own purposes.
Selectman Fields, of Branford, told of
the way in which a dangerous crossing
had been treated there.
Mr. Meigs said that the call for a special
session seemed to be the call of the peo-
ple, not of corporations. .
Governor Lounsbury said he desired to
follow the wish of the people in this mat-
ter as far as it could be ascertained.
Selectman Charles A. Wheeler, of Nor.
walk, said circulars had been sent out and
he should be glad to consult any of those
present, at the close of this session. He
went on to urge the importance of abol-
ishing grade crossings.
The sentiment of the meeting was that
the south-western portion of the state was
unanimously in favor of an extra session.
Selectman Stevens, of Clinton, objected
to the orders of the commissioners because
of the expense placed upon the town.
Governor Lounsbury stated that the
meeting was only an informal one to hear
representatives from the Shore Line towns.
Hc desired a full expression of the people
and announced that he would resume the
hearing next Monday at noon.

Workinzmen’s Wages.
Mr. Murrayin his address to the bankers
convention at Pittsburg, said : “Tchty-
five years ago laborers received $1 a day
wages; now they are receiving an average
of $2 a day, and these $2 will buy more of
the necessities of life than 335 would buy
twenty-five years ago.” This last part of
the statement goes perhaps a little too far,
but it is true that wages have increased
very greatly and that living is cheaper.
Ordinarily it is observed that wages and
prices change in the same direction ; that
if wages, which are the price of labor, go
up the prices of other things go up, and
that when wages go down other prices go
the same way, the consequences being
that a workingman‘s accounts remained
always about in the- same condition, and
if his wages were doubled he was no
richer, because at such a time it cost him
double [0 live. But that relation of things
has been broken by the enormous increase
in the product of machine-made goods,
which constantly keeps the price of manu-
factured articles at a low figure, and by
the steady demand for labor, which runs
up wages and is in great part due to the
increased consumption caused by low
prices. But if President Murray in say-
ing that $2 would now buy what would
cost $5 twenty-five years ago put things
somewhat extremely, in saying that wages
had doubled he did not go far enough.
Twenty-five years ago, and for the ten
years before it, mechanics’ wages were
a dollar a day. the more favored trades
being a dollar and a half. Now their
wages are from four to six dollars. That
is to say, they have quadrupled. And a
mechanic here who thus earns $100
a month has for $15 as good rooms as
any workingman in the world has. Meat
and bread and clothes are all very cheap,
and his children’s schooling does not-cost
him a cent.‘ All this ought to spoil the
trade of labor agitators; but apparently it
does not.

—~—Those of our resident ladies, who go
abroad to do their shopping, can obtain
points near home, which will enable them
to prove the longer journey is in fact un-
necessary. The dry goods house of W.
B. Hall «is 00., in Bridgeport, can be
reached at onedhird less expense than the
trip to New York costs.
on a large scale of the elegant goods of
which their displays at the late fairs here
and at Danbury were merely specimens.
Anticipating a lively fall trade the firm
have secured full lines of all leading dress
silks and satins, the choicest being those
of French manufacture, some of them to
order and displaying the firm’s imprint,
and all imported directly through the
Bridgeport custom house. The low figures
at which it is possible to offer these goods
are, by comparison with the cost for the
some articles in the metropolis, worthy of
consideration. The sales on the Messrs.
Hall's counters thus far show that silk
goods are coming more and more into
favor, and their very large importations
place it within their power to cater to the
popular demand. Gros Grains are sought
more than any other, but the examples in
Surah and Faille Fraucaise, to say nothing
of the Armures, Guinets and rich black
Rhadames, are of themselves worthy a
close inspection. The Messrs. Hall have
an immense stock of Priestly & Co’s. Eug-
lish made dress goods, the like of which
cannot be found elsewhere. In view of
the variety of these and the prices asked
it is not too much to say the New York
market is discounted by many per cent.
It seems to be admitted that people who
buy silk dress goods now will be wise, as
raw stock is held at higher figures than at
the same date last season. and in the near
future prices must, in the nature of things,
advance. With this house there will,
however, be no change till after the heli—
days. The Messrs. Hall justly take pride
in their operations with real seal for sac-
ques, jackets and wraps. The demands
upon them of late have been so marked as
to compel a large addition to the force
employed in the department of their store
where seal garments are made. All lines
of genteel ready-made garments are un-
usually full and complete, especially in
English seal plush sacques made by fun-i-
ers, and which look as well and do almost
as good scrviceas real seal. This firm,
who have always taken deep interest in
the county fair, are understood to have
said that either in the efforts now being
exerted by the friends of the fair to .keep
it in Norwalk, or, should a decision be
reached to remove it to the Park City,
they stand ready to afford substantial aid.
In their store everything is new and of
the most fashionable texture and style, as
they who visit it may learn to their full
satisfaction.

What Wears the Brain Most.
Dr. Hammond of New York says : It is
well for us to know that emotions cause
more unhappiness and crime than any
other function of 'the brain. Human
beings are governed by their emotions,
and it is well that they should be, though
it is the emotions that wear away the
brain, and not intellectual work. Very
few people suffer from intellectual work,
and if my memory serves me I do not re-
collect having a mathematican for a
patient. It is not intellectual work. that
causes nervous dyspepsia, but the emo-
tions, such as anxiety, fear, sorrow and
love. I consider that eight hours are
sufficient for a man to use his brain, be-
cause if he exceeds that time he becomes
nervous and fretful, and an exhausted
brain is an irritable brain.

Steam Beat for Cars.
The report that the Consolidated road is
to arrange at once for the use of steam
heat in itspasscngcr cars is denied by one
of the officials. Stoves are being taken
out of several cars, but they are of the
old fashioned kind and are being replaced
by new patterns. The road is equipped
with Bakcr stoves, which the company
claim are the safest, next to steam heating,
the only objection being that they cannot
be incased in a strong iron box. 'The
stoves are strongly braced now, but of
course in case of a collision, would have
to go with the rest of the car. The limited

A Greens Farms Romacce.
Greens Farms is enjoying the distinction
of being the scene of aromance. Accord-
ing to the story Frederick Stable, a young
and handsome German, came to Greens
Farms a few months ago as coaclunan for
Mr. Nelson Alvord. His general appear-
ance, style of dress. musical accomplish-
ments, soft, white hands and evident re-
finement attracted attention and comment
from numerous observing citizens, and
his studied avoidance of the other servants
and evident desire to be alone soon caused
him to be. loooked upon as a man of noble
birth, who, for some unknown reason,
was masquerading as a servant. The
mystery was solved a few days ago when
it was announced that he had received a
letter from.Germany telling him that his
father had recently died and left him an
immense fortune, and notifying hinr to
put in an appearance at once to take pos-
session. It was then explained that
young Stable had fled the country last
spring to evade doing military duty, and
had hired out as a servant in order to the
better conceal his identity. He returns to
Germany at once.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years Doctors prouoanccd it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment-pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease, and therefore requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
00., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure now on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from ten drops
toa teaspoonful. It acts directly upon

any case it fails to cure. Send for circular

INCREASE YOUR PENSION.
Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled
loarhucn higher rate of pension than they now
receive. Ina great majority of cases in which
pension was granted for disease. the pensioner is
entitled to an increase of rate, and in most cases
where it was granted for wounds or injuries the
disability increases each year. As time passes the
disability of all classes naturally increases. Many
were at first rated too luw’. and it often occurs
that pensioners are- unjustly or erroneously re-
duced by examining surgeons. A pgnsloner is
entitled to increase on a disability not set forth in
his original declaratlon.‘ The pension laws are
more liberal than formerly, and better ratin can
be had for many disabilities. ' I make a spe all
