Two little girls in Wallingford were
sent to one of the grocery stores one even-

An Olrio newspaper says : “ The gossip
of a sewing society here has broken up
four families and caused a suicide; but,
the organization completed two hein—
stitched handker'chicfs and a tidy fora
starving woman, so that the sins of its
members are compensated for.”
It would be the greatest not Mr. Cleve——
land ever did, or ever hada chance to do,
just now, to reiterate the statement about
ineligibility of a President to a second
term, made famous by his letter of accept-
ance in 1884. The Democratic party, we
more than half suspect, would be very
glad to read such a letter.
Hugh Langdon of Redding, was in town
to-day. It was on his place, near Aspctuck
river, that Dr. Knox and W. B. Bartram
made the find of Indian spear and arrow
heads. Since that time Mr. Langdon has
discovered more of these, and there can
now be no doubt birt that once there was
a manufactury of these articles by the In-
dians, on these grounds—News.
Probably $4,000,000 will not cover the
loss of property and crops by. the Mississ -
ippi river floods in Illinois alone. The
submerged lands in that state aggregate
considerably more than one—half of the
area of Rhode Island. The loss of life is
remarkably small considering the thous—
ands of people left homeless.
Chauncey M. Depew does not appear to
be at all set up or cast. down by the news
of Mr. Blaine‘s final withdrawal. When a
man knows that his future career wil
flow along the channel either of the Presi-
dency of the United States or the Presi-
dency of the New York Central Railroad
00., he must be curiously constituted if he
is not serene in mind, in consideration of
the fact that in either case he will draw a
salary of $50,000 a year.
The best known Blaine man in Massachu
setts has received a letter from Mr. Blaine
in which the man from Maine states that
he Will return to America by the end of
J nnc, and will at once plunge into politics,
taking the stump for the Republican
nominee, and doing all he can to advance
the interests of his party. “I have de—
clincd to be a candidate," said Mr. Blaine,
“but I am still a Protectionist, a Republi—
can, and an American citizen, and shall do
all in my power to help my party.”
The simple proposition of 'the message,
and the message is iiidorscd as part of the
Democratic platform, is a removal of the
duty at once upon wool, salt, lumber and
fifty other important American industries.
Not a reduction, but in the words of the
President, “a removal of the cause,” and
the cause referred to is the tariff not the
inter-mil revenue. The President distinctly
says that the internal revenue is not a
burden and ought to remain, while the
duties levied on foreign imports ought to
be removed—New York Press.
The Central Massachusetts road has
managed to perfect that freight traffic, ar—
rangement with the Pennsylvania road
and an attempt will now be made to di—
vert all the northern New England trafiic
possible from the New York and New
England and run it over the Boston and
Maine extension to North Hampton, and
thence down by way of the New Haven
and North Hampton, thus benefitting two
roads that need it.
Mr. Blaine undoubtedly means just
what he says. T he question. however,
narrows itself down to this: Would he as
a candidate he surest to carry the country
for the Republican party? If so, the
Chicago convention will so decide before
it comes to ballot, and should it so decide,
we do not believe that a single gentleman
of all the candidates now before the
country would feel it other than a duty
for Mr. Blaine to once take the nomination.
Mr. Blaine is sincere, but if his nomina-
tion is essential to party success, he must
be nominated.— Waterbury Republican.
The societies for the detection of horse-
thicves in eastern New York and western
Connecticut helda convention at Brcwsters
Wednesday afternoon to form the anti-
thicf league. The plan is to have tele-
graphic communication between points
when a loss is discovered, so that the thief
can be headed off if he escapes to an ad.
joining county. The thief-takers will em.
. ploy riders to run down offenders and
adopt every legitimate means to rid the
country of the thieves.

The Y. M. C. A. seniors played ball

Monday. and the picked nine defeated the

Fred Shear of Danbury, was in town
yesterday circulating bills announcing the
July mcclin g of the Danbury Gentleman’s
Driving Association to be held July 11,

Messrs Hanforil and Pidgeon, two Nor-
walk wheclmen. made Danbury the ob-
jective point of a bicycle trip Sunday.

their appetites against the capacity of the

defeated, but seemed to feel mighty good
over it, somehow. They report: the roads
suffering for want of raid—News.
The Captain Lamb estate is iiow in a
fair way of settlement. The court of
probate has assented to the living heirs
joining in aboud of indemnify to cover
the contingency of the brother Henry
being living,or it dead of havinglcftliving
heirs and such a bond would be abun—
dantly safe and secure. -
The fire of last Friday demonstrated the
necessity of having the fire hydrants in
condition. The hydrant at the corner of
Mechanic street, has not been connected
with the water main since the excavations
for the sewer began at that point, and
several minutes of valuable time were lost
by the firemen on that account through
no fault of theirs.
Tire nrouey drawer of the Beehive
restaurant on Water street, was robbed of
about $3 Monday afternoon by a shabby
young stranger who went in and ordered
a meal. It was a bold robbery, and des-
pite the fact that Proprietor Peat knew
the thief had the plunder in his possession
and was on the lookout fora policeman,
he got away with it.
The Y. P. S. C. E. gave a very pleasing
entertainment in the Chapel of the Con—
. gregntional Church Friday evening last.
Tire programme included instrumental
and vocal music, a cantata under the di-
rection of Miss Nash, a recitation by Mrs
Henry Bissell, &c. Thc‘audicnce was a
large one, consequently the entertainment
must [rave been a success financially..-
Officer DeForest brought J amcs Troy to
Bridgeport jail Mondaymorning, to work
on $3 and costs for viigrnncy and drunk-
cnness. At the jail he was identified as a
notorious thief who had escaped from two
policerncir a short time before while under
arrest. IIc belongs to air organized gang
of thieves who have been plying their
nefarious vocation in various sections of
the county. _______
General C. I. Hillyer of Hartford,Conn.,
adds his name to the long and honorable
list of charitable Americans by giving
thirty thousand dollars toward the pur—
chase of the site of a proposed new build-
ing for the Young Men’s Christian Asso—
ciation of that city. This is not alone a
princely act, but the purpose for which it
was done is commendable. There is no
form of Christian work and endeavor more
interesting than what are known as Young
Men’s Christian Associations, and what-
ever multiplies their means of usefulness
does great good—New Y orl: Herald.

Last. week we had a brief item to the
effect that Major Hornback, our efilcient
register of deeds, had got staving drunk,
destroyed a bushel or two of valuable pap-
ers, had two fights, and then gone home
to smash his cook stove and lick his wife.
Next day Major Hornback called at this
office and not only subscribed for the
Kicker for himself, but sent two copies to
friends in the cast paying us $6 in cash.
We therefore desire to correct the item of
last week. The major was not drunk. It
was simply an attack of vertigo; to which
he is subject, He was never drunk in his
life, and a. more efficient public official or a
kinder father cannot be found on the face
of this globe. We shall make other cor-
rections from time to time as the victims
come in to subscribe.—Arozona Kicker.
‘ We have mentioned from time to time
that we believed that a settlement could
be easily effected between the grand lodge
and the members of Hiram, No. 1.’ There
is a plan which may be presented before
long, but which we are not at present at
liberty to publish, which could very easily
dispose of the whole matter. The grand
lodge will not go to Hiram and ask them
to come back, but will receive them with
open arms. Hiram lodge will not go to
the grand lodge in abject apology and sue
for reinstatement. The grand lodge will
make'some concessions and Hiram cer—
tainly ought to be willing to make just as
many and meet them half way. In fact.
we are creditably informed that Hiram
would not have to go more than half way.
—Loomz‘s’s Mwical and Masonic Journal.
Few events of the war were the center
of as much heroism as the career of the
Confederate ram Albemm'le, which is the
subject of an illustrated narrative in The
Century for July. The contributors to
this well-rounded historical sketch are
Gilbert Elliott, who built the vessel ; Doc-
tor Edgar Holden. of the Sashacus, the
wooden ship which attempted to run down
the mm in Albemarle Sound; Lieutenant
Cushing, who modestly describes his gal—
lant attack upon the .4lbemarlc with a
torpedo-boat; and Captain A. F. Warley,
who commanded the Confederate vessel at
time of Gushing’s attack and her dcstruc -
tion. The illustrations will include a
number of portraits and interesting pic—
lures.
Senator O. H. Platt of Connecticut was
at the Fiftli Avenue Hotel » yesterday,
where he chatted complacently about
politics and kindred topics. “From what
I heard in Washington beforeI left there,”
said he, “I doubt if Senator Thurman was
Mr. Cleveland's choice for~Vice~Presidcnt
“What are the chances this year ?”
"It makes no difference who is on either
ticket. I believe that the North will be
nearer solid this year than the South. The
Democratic feeling against Mr. Cleveland
is deep, extensive, not demonstrative, but
bitter and irreconcilable. His enemies
are not making any great noise about it,
but their number is region."
“Who is the candidate that can win the
election against him i" ' -
_ “I do not think it makes much differ-
ance who the candidate is, so that. he re-
prcsents the party and its principles fairly
and unequivocally and without suspicion.’
Next to calling attention in their plat—
form to the conspicuous failure of the Ad-
ministration in the matter of civil service
reform, the democrats emphasized another
blot (in their cscntchcon, in the following
manner :-
“In every branch and department of the
government under democratic control, the
rights and welfare of all the people have
been guarded and defended; every right
has been protected and the equality of all
our citizens, before the law, without re—
gard to race or colbr, has been steadfastly
maintained.” _
This with the notorious fact, patent to
every intelligent voter in the land, that
throughout the South the law is trampled
upon and violated, a large portion of the
legal voters are disfranchiscd by fraud,
terror and violence on account of their
race and color, no political rights whatever
are allowed them by the dominant and
lawless minority, and the whole tenor and
result of national contests is changed by
the most wholesale and unblushing fraud!
And the party which is the beneficiary of
this violation of law and outrage upon
equality, stands up before the people and
shamelessly puts forth the wholesale false-
hood cnunciated above! Do the demo—
cratic leaders believe that the people are
tools or possess no memories ?—Standard.

Mr. and Mrs. Thaddeus B. Gnycr of

They re—
ceived a number of valuable and useful

about 11 o’clock.
Miss Agnes Murray, of Bridgeport, is an
eccentric woman, to pirt it mildly. She is
very rich, and spends her ruoncy in odd
ways. A year ago she bought a fine house
.in Bridgeport, paying $35,000, shut it up,
and has since then allowed no one to live
in i:, though several desirable termits have
been anxious to rent .it. Her country
place is four" miles from the railroad
station, and it is said that invited guests
are permitted to walk the distance, not-
withstanding that there are numerous
horses and carriages in her stables. Miss
Murray was a great belle in her youth.
The old prejudice of ascending stairs to
purchase goods has now disappeared, for
many of the leading stores have selected an
upper room for jackets, suits and jerseys.
The reason is more light and better accom-
modations for trying on garments. This
department at the D. M. Read Co. occu~
pics the second floor and has all the ac-
commodations for the public. The same
may be said of descending for very few
now think of looking for carpets rugs or
draperies iii an out of the way place. Tire
carpet rooms of the D. M. Read Co. are
well lighted from overhead lights .on all
sides, where the entire stores are devoted
to those goods.
As James M. Near was driving his bak-
ery wagon over the Sterling street cross-
ing at Bridgeport on Thursday, the horse
It had two legs
broken and had to be killed. Mr. Near,
and a. boy who was with lrimin the wagon,
wcrethrown out biit escaped without seri-
ous injury. The Bridgeport Farmer says:
Tire driver‘of a coal cart was so busily 0c-
cupied in looking at the carcass of Mr.
Near’s horse that lie‘drOVc upon the track
without noticing that along freight train
was upon the bridge close by. Bridge
Tender Colgau saw his peril, and by encr-
getic shouting, caused the man to wheel
his horse around just in time to avoid be-
ing struck. ________ .
A decision in the suit of the, United
States against the rector, church wardens
and vestrymen of the church of the Holy
Trinity, at Forty—second street and Mad—
ison avenue in New York, to recover $1,—
000, the penalty for violating the contract
labor act of 1885, in importing Rev. E.
Walpole Warren as their rector, was
handed down Tuesday in the United
States circuit court for the southern‘ dis-
trict of New York at Syracuse, Judge
Wallace presiding. The court held that
the defendants, a religious corporation,
engaged Mr. Warren, an alien, to come to
this country, and take charge of their
church as pastor. Tire not made it the
duty of the United States district attorney
to bring suit for the penalty described.
The discussion in the press of the need
of some such system of signals for the use
of vessels in a fog as that devised by Cap-
tain Barker and noted in these columns
some days ago, has brought to .thc front
the scheme of a Mr. Hughes, of Brooklyn,
who has made a code for whistles and
horns, in which, as in Baker‘s, each of the
thirty-two points of the compass is indi-
cated by a combination of long and short
blasts, like the dashes and dots of a tele-
graphic alphabet. The pcculiar feature
of the Hughes code, however, as distin—
guishcd'from other, is its simplicity, the
first blasts indicating the quarter, and the
others the especial point. A mariner who
knows how to box the compass—the first
lesson the landsman leans after setting
foot aboard—is enabled by the plainness
of this method, to read a signal by ear the
moment after the code has been explained
to him. It requires no elaborate memora
izing, and the humblest sailor afloat, if he
has his hearing unimpaired, will be as
useful for a lookout in a fog as the com-
modore of a fleet.
Andrew J. Peck, a woll-to-do farmer,
residing in the western part of Newt'own,
Ct., was shot and instantly killed Friday
morning at his residence. Mr. Peck
started to come out of the front door of
his house when the murderer fired the
deadly shot from across the street. The
charge of some 40 or 50 shot entered the
left side and penetrated the heart. The
wounded man turned' to retrace his steps
and fell dead. Rudolph Clifiord, a char-
coal peddler, with whom Mr. Peck had a
quarrel the day previous, has been arrested
on suspicion. Clifford was taken before
J usticc Boynton in: Bridgeport Saturday
afternoon, who adjourned the hearing
until Monday without taking any evidence.
The evidence against Clifiord, although
strong, is purely circumstantial. Close by
the fence where the fatal shot was fired
was found a bottle containing gunpowder
and a part of a paper of tobacco, the latter
being the same brand used by Clifford.
The bottle was dirty and discolored as
though it had been been handled with
hands either powder stained or soiled with
coal dirt. Tire frequent quarrels betwocn
the two urea. and other minor points, lead
the officers to believe that Clifford is guilty.
The officers have been busy searching for
the gun used in firing the fatal shot, but
so far have been unsuccessful. Tire affair
caused much excitement in and about
Newtown. ‘
Friday afternoon at about half past
four Jimmie Rodemcyer of the GAZETTE
composing room discovered a thin stream
of' smoke issuing from the north end of
the roof of P. W. Bates’ barn which is
built against the north wing of the GAZETTE
building. He immediately ran to Plais-
ted‘s drug store, where the key to fire
alarm box No. 15 is kept and had the
alarm rung. In less than a minute from
the time of the discovery the fire had
broken through the roof and the flames
and smoke poured through the windows
of the GAZETTE job room where the Record
type was being put into shape for the
press, stifling the printers, who, however,
immediately got their fire pails, of which
the office has a full complement always fill-
ed and ready for' any emergency, and stood
ready to. fight the flames in case they
should gain a headway on the wooden
window frames. The prompt arrival of
Phoenix and Hope Hose companies, how-
ever, prevented any serious damage to the
Gazette building, save for broken windows
cracked by the heat, a quantity of type
“pied" in moving the cases from their in-
tensely hot quarters near the windows,
and charred outside woodwork. The
firemen soon had streams playing" on the
barn (from both sides, and the Pioneer
truck boys with their ladders and axes
made openings in the siding through
which the streams were directed, and in
short order the flames were stopped, al-
thorrglr the debris smouldered fora long
time. The barn contained about four
tons of hay'~ in the loft, in which
the fire starter], besides a quantity
of grain, Mr. Bates having put in forty
bushels only the day before. His horses
were, fortunately, out of the barn at the
time, and two wagons were hauled out by
the moulders in Simonds’ foundry. A
number of robes, blankets, harness. etc.,
were rescued. The barn belongs to Mrs.
Weed and is fully insured. The origin of
the fire is thought by some to have been
spontaneous combustion, but Mr. Bates
and many others suspect incendrarism.
The firemen are entitled to credit for their
prompt response and efficient work. If
they had been lacking in either one of
these essentials the damage would inevit-
ably huve been greater. The roof and up
per portion of the barn are entirely burned
away.

Erastus Brown. a lazy and worthless
character living in Winnipauk, was arrest-

little son. In Lawyer Lockwood’s office
the wife, a little mite of a body, weighing
not more than 75 pounds, related her piti-
ful story with quivering voice and tearful
eyes, telling how her good-for-nothing
spouse had compelled her to work out to
help support him; Irow he came home
nights drunk,without money or provisions,
and how he. finally deserted her altogether.
Justice Sellcck gave him a healthy lecture
and allowed him to go at liberty for two
weeks, within which time he must furnish
a guarantee to support his family in the

Governor Hill has signed'tlie bill which
does away with hanging in New York
State, and substitutes'death b electricity,
the new law taking effect anuary 1st,
1889. This measure is in accordance with
the recommendation made by the Gov-
ernor in his message to the legislature,
which met with the cordial approval of
scientists, philanthropists and society in
general as a step forward in the progress
of civilization, in that. while it is equally
effective in serving the ends of justice, it
takes from the death penalty those repul—
sive features which shock the sensibilities
of the larger and better classes of society.
Tire working of the new law in New York
will be watched with interest by other
States, and there is little doubt the reform
inaugurated by the progressive law makers
of the Empire State will spread through- '
out the country.

the M. E. church, Westport, Rev. H. S
Still. Preacher, one person was baptized,
three persons admitted as “members on
probation,” four received into full member-
ship, after which services the preacher
said that during the pastoral term of Rev.
J. M. Carroll. in 1886, this society at its
two “Jug Breakings” raised sufficient
funds to pay a note of $118.00 and a note
of $94.00 and since his own pastorate a
note of $150.00 and a note of- $700.00 mak-
ing a total of $1,064.00 had been paid. He
read each note, and then held them in a
lighted candle which stood in a bowl of
sand upon the altar. Another note of
$1,900.00 now remains, but sufilcient
amounts have been subscribed to pay it,
and when this note is paid the society will
be free from debt. x.
