The fire-bug was on the war-path again
Saturday night. This time he went a
little outside the center of the borough
and fired the barn belonging to William
Hyland on Plattsvillc avenue near St.
Mary’s Cemetery- The fire had gained
considerable headway before being dis.
covered, and by the time the fire depart-
ment arrived after a; long and hard run
the building was destroyed. But even if
it had not been the hose companies could
have done little towards saving it, as
there is no hydrant anywhere near it.
The barn contained one or two wagons
which were consumed. A horse
and cow are generally kept there, but for-
tunately they had been turned out into a
lot that night, otherwise they, too, would
have been burned. The property was in.

NORWALK GAZ—ETTEiWEDNESDAY, JULY4, 1888,-
On the iri p of the Connecticut delegation
to Chicago the story was told of a quick
wilted young Hartford lawyer who was
one of the party. He had been speaking
of Chauncey Depew to a democrat. (but
whether or not that demon-at was
“Grover" Wilson, depouent sayeth not,)
and remarked that he felt sure Depew
could carry Connecticut. “Depew," said
the democrat, “he couldn’t carry h——l."
“Of course, not,” said Joe. “there too big
a democratic majority there. It was Con-
necticut I was talking about, which is a
different place.”
There are over one million wool growers
in this country, and in the case of 90 per
cent. of them the wool crop is their prin-
cipal reliance for paying taxes. President
Cleveland and the Democratic party,
through the Mills bill, are doing their ut-
most to take off the duty from wool. The
result of this is seen in greatly reduced
prices for wool all over the country. This
is the wool buying season, and ptir-
chasers, fearing the introduction of cheap
wools from abroad duty free, refuse to
pay the prices heretofore prevailing. The
wooLgrowcrs, therefore, will have a hard
time paying their taxes this your and it is
not surprising to find them resentful
toward the tax anti tariff legislation of the
Democratic party.

account of Madame Campan’s famous
school in France, which Eliza Monroe

future Queen of Holland. The portraits
which the Queen sent over to the daughter
sf her old school friend have been on-
grayed for this article, comprising IIort.

is drawn of Eliza in after life, as Mrs.

Messrs. W. D. Hall &. Co., the dry

a manufacturer’s entire stock of handker-
chicfs, ruchings and collars which will
also be sold Thursday and Friday the 5th,
and 0th. The Bridgeport Standard of
Saturday thus speaksof the firm : “Just
now in Bridgeport the interest in a pro-
posed great Fourth of July celebration is
apparently absorbing the attention to the
exclusion of all. else, But the corner
cocupied by. W. B. Hall & Co.’s store is
receiving its share. The ladies, not for.
geting the national features of the coming
event, have found in that store a perfect
mine of dcsirabilities which even patriotic
ardor cannot dissuade them from taking
advantage of. The firm’s splendid stock

mentary $30,000 bankrupt stock of fash-
ionable imported goods, which for Variety

ago, kept the store crammed with custom-

Connecticut 3 Battle Ground.
The Sun says there are, in all, 401 elec-
toral votes, and the winning ticket must get
not less than 201. Mr. Blaine was just 19
short in 1884, and should General Harrison
do as well in the republican states, he will
need just that number. Of course, Indiana,
Harrison’s own state, is counted on to fur-
nishllfi. Cleveland, with Hendricks run-
ning for vice president, carried it- in 1884
by 6,512, but there was then a greenback
vote of [3,028. Harrison will' certainly'be
stron er in Indiana than Blaine was 'four
years ago, and the death of Mr. Hendricks
has deprived the democracy of that state of
its most conspicuous, respected, and efficient
leader. At the last state election in Indiana,
that of 1886, the democrats were beaten by
3,324“. '
The fifteen ‘ electoral votes of Indiana
would leave the republicans within four of
the number required to elect. These are
expected from the state of Connecticut,
which has always been remarkably close
and which was carried by Mr. Cleveland in
1884 by a meagre plurality of 1,284, with ‘a
prohibition vote of 1,289, the greater portion
of which will probably fall back into the re-
publican column this your. Connecticut is
a high tarifi‘ state and went against Han-
cock in 1880 by 9,656.
Should the republicans succeed, either by
. good management, or by the projection of
the tariff issue, or by the wholesale expen-
diture of money, in securing the electoral
votes of Cotinectieut, they will have more
than a majority and will be entirely inde-
pendent of New York. '
It is announced that Mrs. Laugtry and
Frederick Gcbhardt are to be married in
September. Inasmuch as the lady is still
the‘wife of one Mr. Langtry, and will
remain so until the California courts finish
her divorce proceedings, it would seem as
if there was some previousncss about this
announcement.

TEE REPUBLICAN TICKET.-
What Is said of It.
The democrats are not wholly responsi-
ble for what they say about the ticket. It
has-taken their breath away, and in their
desire to insist upon the republican party’s
entire disintegration, it has suddenly
dawned upon them that the ticket is with-
out reproach. Their only hope is to befog
the issue, and that hope is cut off by the
clear ennuciations of the republican plat -
form.”—JIartford Post. '
We need do nothing more here and now
than to congratulate the convention on its
wisdom, the republican party on its can-
didutos, and the country on the prospect
now brightly opening up before it. of a
grand and truly American administration
for the four years beginning the fourth of
next March—Palladium.
With such an excellent candidate, with
the Stars and Stripes as our symbol. and
the memories of old Tippecanoe in our
songs, we ought to cvcrlastingiy whip the
free traders this fall, and if We try we will
do it without a doubt.—N. Y. Press.
It is a respectable ticket nil tin-origin.
We warn the democrats that they will
have to put forth their best efforts and
bring out their utmost strength. It is no
sham battle that is opening before them.—
Sim.
With a man so strong and worthy, the
republican party has a right to look for a
.popular uprising, not unlike that which
swept Martin Van Buren from power in
1840.—Trz‘bune..
The Chicago ticket is strong enough for
all practical pur ses. . The republi-
cans can elect him (Harrison) if they can
elect anybody.-— Washington Post.
Mr. Harrison is ndmirabl qualified for
the presidency. Not a so itary syllable
can be uttered against his private life and
his public life has been conspicuously
commendable. We can win with him.—
Senator Hawtey.
He is o firstratc man. He has always
commanded my admiration and respect.
He will be elected and will make a first-
rate prosidcnt.—Senafor Edmunds.
With those candidates, and with the
American principle of protection for home
industries and home labor, the republican
party confronts the arty of Mr. Grover
Cleveland and the ills bill. We are not
worrying very much about the result.-
Hartford Uourant.
We like the platform adopted by the Chi-
cage convention, frotn the tariff plank
down to the annexed temperance plank,
and the latter—though not very long—
means as much as though it filled a col-
umn.‘ Everybody can’t be suited with
latforms or with nominees. By some
epublicans the platform is regarded too
long; Third-party people will think the
temperance plank is too short—that is the
long and short of it.—— anated Herald.

Two Conventions.
The St. Louis Convention had nothing to
do but to carry out the will and pleasure of
the only Democratic candidate. Its pro-
ceedings had all the harmony that used to
characterize the gangs of Southern slaves at
their work, and its jublilations, when its
master’s tasks were done, were those of
slaves. But the Chicago Convention was as
free a body of variously representative Re-
publicans as ever got together. It had sev-
eral able and worthy candidates, each ear-
nestly supported, to choose from. It had to
meet ugly and dangerous crises and to guard
against too impulsive action. The rivalries
in the Convention were at times intense.
Yet the Convention never got confused or
“rattled." It was ruled and directed by
courzgeous and sagacious leaders who ap-
peal successfully to the (good sense, the
patriotism and the party evotion of the
delegates and finally developed the situa-
tion in which the selection of Gen. Harri-
son was as inevitable as it was excellent, and
the chotce of Mr. Morton was equally the
natural and most satisfactory result.
In New York, especially, Republicans
ought. to repose the greatest confidence in
the Wisdom and strength of the noninations,
for they were due to the action of the New
York delegation, after Mr. Depew’smaguani-
mous withdrawal. The four delegates at
large from this State represent all sorts of
Republican sentiment here; they know Gen.
Harrison thoroughly, and they understand,
as well as an men can, the probable
strength of the ndiana candidate in New,
J eisey and Connecticut. Few Republicans
will doubt the sagacity of the judgment on
which the New York delegation gave to.the
Harrison candidacy the promise and potency
of success.——J|Iail and Express.

SO U TEN 0R WALK
There has seldom. if ever been a more
successful work in the cause of tempor-
ancc, pure and simple, than that inaugu-
rated by tho Temple of Honor and tem-
perance at their hall. It is about six
months since their first meeting. They
have been continued without interruption
and not only the interest but membership
increases every week, many of the old re-
form men who were driven from their or-
ganization by the introduction of politics,
coming in. The meeting on Sunday at
tcroooh was no exception, being full of
interest, and a desire to save the incbriatc,
one of them said, “keep a man sober and
he knows how to vote.”
Dr. Emily Pardec and daughter re-
turned from a week’s visit around Nia-
gara Falls and Buffalo, which they hugely
enjoyed.
The ratification meeting of the Young
Men's Republican Club on Thursday oven-
ing was a success in every sense, being
participated in by many of the oldest Re-
publicans and Democrats of the city. The
nomination of Harrison and Morton was
enthusiastically endorsed, and the declar-
ation made: American wages for the
workingmcn of America—and protectidn
to every American industry.”
When ambitious and egotistical men
are disappointed in political prefcrmcnts,
it often makes them luny. We fear it is so
ident on the Prohibition ticket.
Mr. David Stow has located his new
home on High Street in the new cottage
of Ex-Mayor Richards, one of the pleas-
nntest in the city, and such as only men
of means can occupy.
The last was a very busy week for the
third party or “holicr than thou” party.
Even the post office was monopolized by
their hand bills, and ever run by their
false pretense literature. So far as shuf-
fling around the delegates and their local
file-leader was concerned, there was great
activity, each one vieing with the other,
evidently to see who should get the most
of the boodle, $1,025. The evening meet-
ing was slimly attended and parth more
of the character of a Tammany hall meet-
ing than one of temperance. The Rev.
Boole’s address was well calculated for at
Cleveland and free will ratification meet-
ing.
“Current national affairs from the
religious stand point ;” “Our national
perils, weaknesses and strength ;" “How
to be a Christian for the next four
months ;” were the subjects chosen by the
city pastor for their discourses Sunday
evening last. The first two were present-
ed with candor and great force, leaving a
lasting and good impression, while the
last smacked too much of a limit of Chris-
tian life, and very much of third party
politics.
The Lecturn, to the memory of the late
Winfield S. Hanford, erected by his fam-
ily, was dedicated in Trinity chapel' last
Sunday morning. _,
Scotch snuff and English dambannas

A larger number of handsome turnouts

A great improvement has been made on
Main street by the change of the Davis
building. Two fine stores are also nearly
available for business purposes.
Thomas Moony was arrested on Monday
morning last, for beating his wife. He
was tried before justice Silliman on Tues-
day and given thirty days with costs.
Congregations at all of the churches on
the 24th inst. were much smaller than
usual. such a thermometer as we have
had, beating even the Saints in the Chris-
tian race. ,
It requires twp wagons, thrcc bakers, a

The biggest kind of a rumpus was stir-
rcd up by the change in our time table,
but president Clark has telegraphed that
the mistake was made inadvertently and
will be remedied at once.

Kirk is hard at work on our new direc-
tory, and from some advance sheets of it
that we have seen, it promises to compare
very favorably 1with the directories of larg-

of the kind in this town, in the bargain.

Hopkins believes the ‘Sisters’ have brains
and piety as well as the ‘Brcihrcn’ and
that this is the 19th century.
The annual school meeting of the Cen'
ter district was held on the evening of the
24th. Mr. F. M. Bliss acted as chairman.
The district committeeoifered its report,
and the treasurer likewise, showing the
school to be in good condition. Mr. B.
Purdy was elected district committee for
the ensuing year, and was directed to en-
gage a male principal for the school.
When lamps are so cheap as they are in
these days, one would think there was no
temptation to steal them, but some one
laid felonious hands on such a piece of
property in front of the Estate of Junius
Benedict, Esq., on that dark and drearful
night of the 28th last. May the thief see
the eighth commandment in a new light
by it. Keep the law but return the
lamp.
Mr. Edward F. Ayers, Jr., who graduat-‘
ed at Yale this year, carried off second
prize in Mathematics, 0. prize in Natural
philosophy, a prize in Natural science and
a scholarship. Mr. E. H. Lockwood also
captured a prize in the Scientific school,
and had the honor of delivering an essay.
Last year, one New Canaan boy had the
honor of being salutatorian and of receiv-
ing several prizes, another won the big
boat race. Next year, we shall do some
more of the same sort. It's in the air,
“don’t cher know ?”
One hundred and fifty-five years ago,thc
20th of June, the Congregational Church
in New Canaan was organized. During
this period there have been over 1,300 ad-
missions. Three buildings have been
erected. The first was used over 20 years,
1732, 1752. The second over 90 years,
1752, 1842, the present edifice has been
in use 40 years, and is conceded to be one
the neatest in any rural community in
Connecticut. There have been only 15
pastors, four of whom served over 20
years. The church began with 24 members
and now has ten times that number. There
has never been a split in its history, and
it has legacies amounting to $1,300.
The Second brilliant wedding of the
season took place at the M. E. church On
Wednesday last. The contracting parties
were Miss Lilian Raymond, daughter of
Mr. S. H. Raymond and Mr. Frank H.
Gleason. The church was crowded with .
invited guests and was tastefully decorat-
ed with ferns. The ushers, Messrs Hoyt,
Monroe and Halo attended gracefully
to their pleasant duties, and with the
brides-maids, the Misses Bertha Hoyt and
Rosa Rogers and the maid of honor,
Miss Lilic Falkner preceded the bride to,
the alter as she. arrived leaning on her
father’s arui promptly at half past four. _
The ceremony was performed by the Rev.
C. B. Ford pastor of the church. Miss
Carrie Hustod, organist of the Congrega-
tional church presided at the- organ.
After reaching the Chancel, the bride ind
groom knelt a moment for devotion and
then rising gavejclear and distinct pledges
each to the other. After the service at
the church there was a reception at the
bride's residence, and an evening train
was taken for New York, from thence
the trip concludes Newport, Martha’s
Vineyard, Nantucket and Boston. At
one time Miss Raymond was an assistant
in the post-ofiice, and and yesterday the
office was beautifully decorated with
white roses in honor of her marriage.

One of the meanest, m0st contemplible
tricks played of late was that of evil mind-
ed pcrsons who applied the match to the
ancient building so long standing on Can-
keen’s island, totally destroying it. That
old structure has many a time afforded
shelter for pleasure seekers visiting the
island and got caught in rain storms. It
was a homely building but friendly-just
the spot for those far from home to run
into in an emergency. Through the liber-
ality of its owner, who is a resident of this
town, it was allowad to stand, and it ccr.
tainly has been a source of joy to many
who have passed hours beneath its roof,

best quiet resorts between Bridgeport and

A suggestion is offered Superintendent
Downes as a means of preventing the
grievous delays and long waits on side
tracks about which the people have been
growling since the Consolidated railroad's
new time table went into effect Sunday,
J une %, that he run his cars at intervals
of thirty minutes each way daily during
twelve hours without regard to the steam
cars. Of course the Superintendent will
not accept, but should he do so patrons
would feel themselves better served than
they have been of late.
There is alaw, in force, but not much
enforced, which prescribes that only one
bushel of oysters may be taken by one
man from Saugatuck river during one tide
Every oysterman knows it, and yet these
men have worked vigorously for the past
two weeks scraping the river bed, and as.
sistcd in loading two large sloops with
oyster seed for the sake of receiving a cer-
tain sum of money per bushel for their
‘product. These men, every mother’s son
of them, vote the democratic ticket, are
opposed to protection as regards other
citiZens’ oyster interests, favoring free
trade for themselves. They openly vio-
late the law and yet claim to be law abid-
ing. If the United States Marshal would
come here, and from time to time serve,
these violators with the same sauce dealt
out the other day in Stamford, there might
be, ultimately a chance fora citizen not
an oysterman, to do what was possible less
than a generation ago, viz., visit the river
and catch a mess of oysters for his own
use. As things are now, and have been
for a long time, such citizens can't do it.

tory “The Future,” by Miss Mollie Ben-

sistant teacher in the school. The class
reception occurred Friday evening and

Westport being in attendance. Dancing

There was collation and a most enjoyable .
time all round.
Tuesday noon there was a thunder '
shower with a single flash of lightning— ‘
that flash struck Thomas R. Lees‘ resi-
dence. Following a telephone wire the
fluid entered Mr. Lees business office and
played some pranks. Continuing it found
its way into the great cotton factory ad-
joining, scaring many cmploycs who were
