If our boroughites who growl over a
little thing like a big pile of dirt or a sea
of cobble stones in the streets, only lived
in Zanzibar, they would learn to bear up
under these slight afflictions until after
the sewers are built. There all the streets
are from four to six feet wide. When a
pedestrian in Zanzibar meets a camel er a.
Bauyan’s saint (a cow) it becomes a
serious question as to who shall have the
right of way. ~
Borough Clerk Seymour was sceugross-
ed irt his Masonic editorial labors last week.
that he says it took blur all day Sunday to
sift hisaccumulated ashes,nnd thus he was
forced to forgo Iris usual delights ip listen-
ing to “stated preaching" on that (lay. If
there is anything our friend Seymour
truly enjoys it is attending church on
Sunday, yet when domestic duties demand
that he should omit the pleasure, he can
restrain himself.
Adolph N. Neilson, the fish commis—
sioner from Norway, who recently visited
the Connecticut Shell Fish Commissioners,
writes to James P. Bogart, their clerk, re-
ferring to a report. of his remarks while
here, that lie does not wish to be under—
stood as saying that in his country oysters
would spawn “when the water was
covered with thin ice." Spawning there
goes in July and August, but the ice has
disappeared before then.
President Clark ofj the Consolidated
road, writes in denial of the latest. home-
made railroad deal: “There isn’t a. word
oftrutlr iuall the railway stories which
haVe flooded the papers for a week past,
beyond the fact; ahat I have been asked to
meet the governor at Hartford tomorrow-
I never heard of anyleasc of the Housatonic
by the Consolidated until a Nor-walk paper
came out withu statement that the lease
was signed and was sealed and would go
into effect January lst. Such reports are
foolish.”
Bridgeport will probably secure the
County Agricultural society’s exhibitions.
Nor-walk is probably willing—Danbury
News. Well, not yet, quite. One of
Bridgeport’sinfluential and monied friends
of the old County Agricultural Society,
remarked that those Bridgeport parties
who were harping forarcmoval or" the
fair from Norwalk to that city, were per.
sons who never had and probably never
would risk a dollar to make it a success
if it: were removed thither.
Of course the statement copied intothe
South ~Nor-walk Republican from the
Bridgeport Post, to the effect that the
matter of depositing license money in
some Norwalk bank, etc., “was talked
over by the sclectmen at their meeting
and their o;.-inion was that the present
method of depositing the funds in a Bridge-
port bank was good enough,” is. a pure
fiction. No such question was ever “talk-
ed over,” by Nor-walk selectmen. Our
selectmen arn’t built that way. Had such
aqnestion been left to their option the
Bridgeport batik, would in all probability
have lost the deposit.
The Board of Selectmen last evening
voted to call a special town meeting to
get; an expression of the people on the
matter of abolishing grade crossings.
What the public wants to know first is
how it is proposed to abolish them,
whether they have got to go over or
under the railroad tracks, by tunnel, or by
bridge or some other way. If the remedy
is to be worse titan the disorder they want
no medicine. The towns that are kicking
are those who understand just how they
stand. Bridgeport doesn’t know the first
thing. Perhaps, however, the " whole
thing will be explained at the town meet-
ing—Bridgeport Leader.

Tltc “special train from Danbury” pro-
ject was 11. fizzle. It brought five persons
who took in the tuba—Record.
It were unreasonable to expect anything
else titan a "fizzle” under the circum-
stances. It was not to have been expected
that such trival details as calling on the
Master of the Danbury Lodge or airy of
the representative Masons of the town,
with the useless formality of a fraternal
invitation, could be attenued to by a self-
appointed committee of one, whose stu—
pendons bond was occupied, and whose
elephanttne shoulders were burdened with
the grave responsibilities of state, and the
oppressive weight of empire. This lesson
is enforced by the hole in‘ the profits, rc-
snlting from the failure of the party of the
second part to fulfil the stipulations of the
guarantee to the railroad company. The
Masons of Danbury are not so hungry as
to break their necks in a. scramble to get
at a festival to which they are “invited”
by a poster stuck up On acircus bill-board.

Another interesting collection of Indian

While digging into an apparently artificial
mould six graves were unearthed. They
Were circular in shape and contained
many valuable articles. Among them are
several arrow—heads, a pipe—bowl and a
large spear-head. The latter is about six
inches long, made of beautiful black tlittt.
The bottom of each grave is discolored by
some substance which is believed to be
war paint; in all but 0 c of the graves
this color is red, but in that. out: it is black.
In the hurry of getting out the last
number of the Masonic Bulletin, two or
three things were omitted that the editors
are unwilling tolct go unsaid. The thanks
of the management of the fair are due the
young ladies acting as waitresses who
stood in the draught and tried to serve
two or three people at. once, all for love.
and who had the usual reward of virtue,
inward peace, and—nothing else. The
ladies who bought material with their
own purses and then patient under criti-
cistn workccl early and late in making it
saleable for the cause are not unknown or
fot'gotton. Mr. Geo. W. Raymond and
Mr. Frederick Mead showed special kind-
mss ll! laying the contents of their stores
at the committee’s disposal at cost price.
Many of the friends of St. John’s Lodge
did the same. but certain exceptions to
the rule nraio: their action appreciated.
"Let brotherly love continue." The in-
teresting light waged between the Sun.
and ll'orln’, was. supplemented by an open
letter on Man-lay from the wonderfully
able and artistic pen of Carl Schulz, ad-
dressed to Mayor Hewitt, criticising his
support of Fellows in preference to Nicoll.
We only have room for a sample para-
graph:
“To the last minute I shall not cease
to hope that your true self-respect
will reassert itself and draw you away
from that side on which, as you well
know, yotr can find to-day every thief,
everycorruptionist, every law-breaker in
New York, including those who‘ have run
to Canada, for there is not one of them
who does not pray for the election of Mr.
Fellows. not one who does not now stand
in deadly fear of that of Mr. Nicoll.”
Incidentally, Mr. Schurz mourns that:
Edward Cooper should have succeeded in
cxtorting from Grover Cleveland an inter-
meddling letter in behalf of Colonel Fcl-,
lows. Mr. Schur'z pronounces this letter
“most unfortunate.” He is sure Grover
Cleveland didn’t know all the facts when
he wrote it. “I shall say nothing,” ltc
tells Mr. Hewitt, “in cxtenuation of the
fact that the President. permitted himself
to be so misused. But: certain it is that
the bittercst enemies of the President and
of the democratic party could not have
dealt them a more vicious blow.”

critics" of the press dilate with profound
verbosity and bewildering technical terms,
all agreeing that she isn’t much of an

Engineer Aiken of the Union Mills, find-
ing an insufficiency of the water supply a.
few days ago,went to tire distributing res-
ervoir to investigate, and was amazed to
find it nearly empty in consequence of
neglect to have the gates properly attended
to, to regulate the supply from the other
reservoir. This negligence, if continued,
is liable to work mischief, in the stoppage
of machinery, serious inconvenience to
families, and damage tolmanufucturers, as
well as in the disastrous results that would
attend the breaking out of a fire in any
portion of the borough at a time when no
water could be obtained from the hydrants.

The telephone central office is to be

is mentioned here not, alone as a news
item of general interest, but for the
special guidance of those considerate
dwellers in distant parts of the town who
have been in the habit of ringing up this
office under the evident misapprehension
that the Gazette and RECORD staffs were
doing business as a district messenger
bureau, and politely requesting them to
step into the law and insurance offices in
the building and elsewhere about the
neighborhood, and, as the office boy ex-
presses it, “all over God’s creation and
part of York state," to tell somebody that
somebody “wants to see him in the tele—
phone.” These estcemcd friends, whom We
have accommodated in this manner forlo !
these many years, can now have their
messenger and errand boy business done
in this immediate vicinity at a saving of

central office direct—if the central office
will do it. At any rate give us a rest.

a large barn. It is stated by those who
pretend to know that Mr. Nash proposes
to move the church forward and convert
it into a summer hotel or boarding house.
The adjourned town-meeting was called
to order by the chairman at. 2 o’clock but
as there were but few present owing to a
misapprehension in regard to the time a
recess was taken until 4 o'clock at which
time the meeting was called to order. The
sclectmen reported and presented the pro-
positions mude by the railroad company
and also a resolution for the acceptance
by the town of the propositions as made
by the company. After considerable dis-
cussion the opiniort seemed to prevail that
nothing could be lost by taking a little
time and the meeting adjourned for two
weeks. .
The seventh annual Harvest festival of
the Methodist society was held in the
lecture room on Wednesday and Thurs-
day evenings of last; week. Upon enter-
ing the room one would have thoughtthnt
he was at an agricultural fair from the
great quantity of pumpkins, potatoes, titr-
nips, corn and other vegetable products
which was piled high through the center
of the room. The attendance on Wed-
nesday evening was large, the room being
uncomfortably filled, and on Thursday
evening it was still larger. The produce
was disposed of at auction and brought
good prices. The affair netted about
$9237.
Mrs. Lloyd Nash during the past week
has been on a visit to friends in New York
and Mr. Nash has been at home alone. On
Thursday evening he attended the Harvest
festival at the Methodist church. On his
return as he entered the house, lte heard
a noise which convinced him that some
one besides himself was to the house. ’Bc-
ing unarmed and not knowing how many
there might be, he went outside the house
and stood for a few minutes in the shadow
of the fence and while there, he saw a
man cross the mill yard and go toward the
dam and then return. Mr. Nash then
went to the next house and aroused the
inmates and the two men who occupy the
house went with Mr. Nash to his house,
but by this time the burglar or burglars
had left. The bureau drawers has been
ransacked and things upset generally but
Mr. Nash did not miss any nrticleof value.
The outside cellar door was found open
where they had made their exit. They
probably heard Mr. Nash and left.

Henry Campbell who has been so seriously
ill for the past week, died on Friday night.
He was by tradea batter, but for a long time

a host of friends.
Patrons of the. public schools Itave no fault
to find regarding the accommodation for

their treatment. The teachers, also, are no:
treated with the payments due, as promptly
as they expected, or as the law requires.
The city is still enjoying the unusual

is enclosed. Many new. buildings are erect-

has ceased—it is said because of a bitch with
the railroad company.
It seems unfortunate, that after the ener-
getic and successful series of meetings, the
temperance workers should so soon be at va-
riance. '1 he chapel which had been cleans-
ed and 'fnmigated, had been occupied only a
short time before a difference arose between
the borough and city tnale workers, which
caused a commotion and division, the leader
of the uptown contingent endeavoring to re-
lrirc Swords’ hall, or some other meeting
room ~\- 0 sincerely hope there may not be
a permanent rupture in the forces, for the
“ CIJIIIIIISSIOIIEI‘S ” have been very liberal
