Not True.
There is neither truth, decency or any-
thing smart, about this bit of romancing,
sent the New York Sun by its Norwalk
blatherskitc correspondent, who so copi-
ously supplies that' paper with misinfor-
mation. The silly but mischievous false-
hood, is embodied in his letter published
in Monday morning’s Sun as follows
concerning Colonel Anderson :
"It. is related of him that once, whileCol-
onel of a regiment, he found himself the
guardian of half a dozen confederate pris-
oners. An order came for the regiment to
move and move quickly, and it. was impos
siblc to transport the captives. The Col-
onel got around it by ordering the prison-
ers shot, and his order was obeyed. 001.
Anderson was hauled over the coals for
his action in this case, but, with his usual
good luck, he escaped punishment and re-
taincd his command.”
Col. Anderson, as every one knows,
would have sacrificed his own life, before
harm should have come to any defeiiclcss
prisoners in his keeping. Wliyjs it some
people cannot exist without continually
stirring up difficulties and disturbances
and bringing down underserved odium on

ger.
A. H. Byington has for years borne in
silence the taunts of the Norwalk Hour.
But in this week's GAZETTE Mr. Byington
retorts sharply and plainly in a three col-
umn article. He makes charges and as-
serts that lie is ready to prove them In
open court. Mr. inngton's reply is
caused by what he believes to have been
an attempt to array the Masonic fraternity
against him. He himself is a Mason. As
the controversy stands at present it looks
as if Mr. Byington has decidedly the
heaviest end of the club. People who
have read the flour for the last few years
have noticed the venomous attacks and
wondered at Mr. Byington’s silence. They
don’t blame him for replying—Bridge-
port Post.
We are devoutly thankful that the three
column article in the GAZETTE of yestcr.
day had not ourselves for a subject:—
Journal.
The Norwalk GAZETTE devotes a. couple
of columns this week to a scathing denun-
ciation of an unnamed Norwalk journalist,
supposed to be 15. W. Maples of the Hour.
It paints his public and private career in
unmistakable terms—Bridgeport News.
The New Haven Palladium by repub-
lishing, endorses the following: This
insolence and malevolence is unbearable,
and, for the first time, we last week made
deserved answer to the villain. If now
the mirror we are about to hold up be-
fore his evil eyes, that he “may see him-
self as others see him," is not flattering
to his arrogant and unbounded self esteem
he has only his own malignant nature to
thank for the public exhibition of the nu.
savory likeness. With that alert and
vrcrous cunning, of which he is so accOm-
plished a master, he would make us ap-
pear as disreputable a trickster as himself
in the conduct of our business. Possibly
this should not occasion surprise. When
one looks at his low, glowering brow, it.
would seem that the Almighty had em-
blazoned “Brute" thereon in letters of in-
elfaccable brass. ‘ ‘
The GAZETTE guillotine dropped this
week and there was an editor’s head un-
der the “hatchet.” Mr. Byington devotes
three columns in the GAZETTE to editor
Maples, of the Hour. His pent rip wrath
burst like a hurricane,and the demand for
the GAZETTE has not yet ceased. It was a
scathing article and it must have made
the fat editor wince when he read it.-
Republican.
Hon. A. H. Byington, for fifty years
connected with the Nonwaut GAZETTE as
appreptice, journeyman, and editor and.
proprietor, is one of the best newspaper
men in Connecticut. He was prominent
during the war, his paper supporting the
government in its darkest hours, while
he served as head of the Tribune staff at
the seat of conflict. He is a man of un-
daunted courage, and in his capacity as
special correspondent he faced many dan-
gers. Many a Connecticut boy who was
wounded and in trouble during the war
has lived to thank "Homer" Byington
for assistance, and his generous heart‘hus
prompted him thousands of times to help
others to his own injury. As a citizen of
Norwalk he has done all that he could to
forward the interests of the town, and he
has the respect and good-will of the best
people of the place. In the last issue of
the GAZETTE he turns upon an enemy,
and in two and a half columns, he paints
a graphic picture of Maples of the Hour,
who arrogantly claims “to own Governor
Lounsbury.” Mr. Byington will have the
sympathy of all decent people in the fight.
—Anaonia Sentinel.
In our judgment an extra session will
neither be required nor held. The Consol-
idated road, which is about the only one
in the state that is earnestly pushing on
the good work of abolishing grade OI’OSS-
ings, is acting so fair and liberal with the
towns where these death traps are to be
removed, that note of them really desire
the calling of an extra session to amend
the law in 1876, in respect to them.
One notable instance of this has come
under our immediate observation. The
town of Westport has two dangerous
grade crossings that. the company propose
to abolish at once. The cost. of the work
will be over $30,000. While the railroad
commissioners would probably have up.
portioned one-fifth or one-fourth of the
cost on the town, the company has volun-
tarily proposed to be at the entire expense
of the work. » .
At a largely attended town meeting held
in the town hall last Saturday the pro-
position of the company was adopted
with only one dissenting vote, that vote
was “Barney”Maples of the Norwalk Owl,
who resides—but pays no taxes—in the
town. The meeting opposed an exra ses-
sron and repudiated “Barney’s" action in
“posing” as the representative of the town
at the two conferences with the governor
lately heldin Hartford with similar unnim-
ity. At the close of the meeting the old
free pass hunter and filcher from the state
treasury, skulked away as an “owl" does
at the approach of daylight.~Harlford
Telegram.
The New York Evening Sun, of Nov.
16, published a telegram from Hartford
concerning the grade crossing question
and the extra session, in which it is stated
that Govern- rLounsbury’s action depends
upon whether he will be governed by B.
W. Maples of the Norwalk Hour, or will
listen to the advice of the press of the rest
of the state. This dispatch further says
that Mr. Maples has said that he made
Lounsbury and the latter dares not offend
him. '
The writer has known Governor Louns-
bury for many years, and does not hesi-
tate to say that Maples. nor an army of
Mapleses, can force him to do what he
thinks is not for the best interests of this
state. He will not be dictated to by any
one, and if Mr. Maples is trying to do
this he will be badly left.—-Amonia Senti-
nel.
Dependent Pen-inns. ‘
The Grand Army men are determined
that President Cleveland shall have another
opportunity to put himself on record on the
dependent pension question. Ever since the
veto of the dependent pension bill the Grand
Army leaders have been at work on a pen-
sion bill that would meet the necessities of
the case and at the same time do away, if
possible, with the :President’s objections.
The pensions committee finally, under in-
structions from the national encampment.
prepared a bill, which has been submitted
to every G. A. R. Post in the country.
The bill is short and to the point, and
the returns of the vote on it have been for-
warded to national headquarters. The com-
mittee will compile the vote and present
the bill to Congress. About 25,000 mem-
bers of the Grand Army voted, and the vote
is almost unanimously in favor of the meas-
tire.
The new bill is substantially the same as
the one vetoed. An effort has been made to
meet as far as might be'ilie President’s ob-
ject'rons without vitiating the measure, but
as some of the President’s objections were
regarded as vital, it is thought by some of
the G. A. R. officials that, he will not. up-
prove the new measure if congress passes it.
The difference in the new bill lies chiefly
in the clause guarding against fraud, the
bill declaring that. any agent instrumental
in prosecuting any claims. who shall receive
for his services a sum greater than $10, or
who shall wrongfully withhold any part of
the claim allowed, shall be fined not exceed-
ing $500 or imprisoned not exceeding two
years, or both.

and scene might. benefit her and possibly
lighten the heavy burden of sorrow she
has carried since the melancholy death of
her sister, Mrs. Neff. She was-of course,
deemed an invalid, but up to a few hours,
prior to her fatal illness, no one dreamed
her cnd could be so near, and its an-
nouncement here on Saturday, came as a
terrible shock to her hosts of friends in
Norwalk.

they suffered the cruel tortures of that

were not divided, for in three days after

He certainly wants to kill of his subscribers,

sermon.
It is rumored that the Rev. Mr. Myrick,
rector of St. Mark’s, has resigned, biit a
prominent member of the congregation
denies the report. Mr. Myrick is consid-
ered a very able preacher.
Rev. L. E. Hopkins preached in the
FirstjPresbytcrian church in Bin gliampton ,
N. York, last Sunday. The pulpit of the
Congregational church was supplied by a
gentleman from New Haven.
One of Johnson & Raymond’s drivers
left a livery team standing on East avenue
the other evening. The horse turned
around and started for home. upsetting
and badly damaging a two hundred and
fifty dollar surrey. .
A movement is on foot in which Mr.
William Martin is prominent, to organize
a choral society. The society will give
musical entertainments during the winter
for the benefit of the fire department and
other local interests.
Cellars have been completed for two
new houses on East avenue. When finish-
cd these will make four new houses-built
on this street in the last year. There is a
demand for more and nice small dwell-
ing houses every year;
Game is reported to be very scarce by
our local sportsmen. If it takes a bun-
dred bullets to kill one soldier, it must
require five hundred shot. guns to bring
down one quail. or else our boys don’t
shoot straight, or the birds have gone.
The Law and Order Society held its
second meeting Monday evening the 28th.
Constitution and by-laws were submitted,
and the society starts off with a member-
ship including thc best citizens of the
town. It; means to lend what support and
encouragement. may be necdful to the dilly
elected officers of the law in the discharge
of their duties.
The Wbyte Brothers (singing evange-
lists) have been drawing large audiences
at the Methodist church during the past
week. While there is nothing objection-
able in ”If ir'singing, it has not proven as
effective as some expected, and instead it
might have been in touching the hearts of
the unconverted. On one evening the
Rev. Arza Hill, of Portchester, preached
an excellent discourse. - ~
Becker entered a “demurrer" and will
not be tried in New Canaan, neither it is
thought will be "ignorantly" or otherwise
deliver intoxicating liquors in this no
license town any more. Let his experience
he a warning to others. The law is that
the simple delivery of liquors in a no
license town is equivalent to a sale, shall
be construed as such, and the. offender
may be arrested and fined for so doing.
The engineer of the new water com-
pany, of Bridgeport, has this week been
surveying a route and making plans for
the proposed introduction of water into
New Canaan. He finds plenty of fall and
all the water necessary. His report will
be rendered shortly, and will probably
. include the question of sewerage. Then
if the money is forthcoming the works
will boIIJnilt. Following this improve-
ment will come gas, sidewalks, and, tne
electric light. This is a sure dream. But
