How easy it is to judge of the character
of men, if we accept Parson Talmage’s

A poor fellow, crazy drunk and on the
verge of tremcns, terrified the pcaccable
citizens down Water street, near the scene
of the Staples barn fire, late Monday night
to such an extent that the police had to be
sent for. But, as in the case of the
Italian riot in the Pottery building, the
parties who sold the maddening poison
that caused the terror, had all paid the
town for the privilege of making wild
maniacs of our citizens, and who has the
right to complain?
A few persons in town were astounded
to learn on Saturday last, from aloeal
sheet, that the widow of the late Gen.
Hancock had placed a memorial to her
soldier husband in Trinity church, South
Norwalk, with the following inscription:
“To the Glory of God
and in
Loving Memory of my Husband.
WINl-‘IELD Scorn Hancock,
First Warden of Trinity Church,
South Norwalk, Conn,
Born Oct. 3, 1814,
Died May 10. 1884."
The late revered and lamented W. S'.
Hartford, was undoubtedly meant but. the
types will snmetimesmake sad havoc with
the most pains-taking of printers.
The Bridgeport celebration was the big-
gest thing that spunky city ever saw and
the crowd in attendance was estimated at
100,000. The parade column. was four
miles long and required twoliours to passa '
given point. The best of order was main-
tained throughout the day. The naval
parade and fireworks on the night of the
3d were worth going miles to see and the
fireworks on the night of the 4th were the
finest ever seen in the state. The decora-
tions were on an elaborate scale and the
air was full of music all the livelong day.
The visiting newspaper men were royally
entertained by the entire press of Bridge-
port who constituted a committee for the
purpose. ‘
Miss Jen nieFitch, the accomplished and
popular lady book-keeper at Comstock’s
collosal Emporium, was dispatched to
Chicago some days since by the First Con-
gregational Church here, as delegate and
representative to the National Convention
of the Young People’s Society of Chris-
tian Endeavor, now in session at the great
Lake city. Miss Fitch went via Spring-
field where she joined a large excursion
party of New England delegates and thus
had most enjoyable surroundings on her
first trip to the West, all of which is a bit
of gratifying good fortune the worthy
young lady abundantly deserves.

quot Canoe Association will be held on
Chimon Island, Nor-walk Harbor, com-
mencing Monday morning, July 16, and
closing Monday morning, July 23d. The
Camp site is about two miles frOm South

during the week.
Charles Lee’s “great London circus”
pitched its tents on the Capt. Lamb place
on Main street Monday. It, was a refresh-
ing reminder of the dear old fashioned one-
ring circus, and the clown actually got off
some of the same dear old-fashioned one-
ring jokes which sounded just as funny
and were laughed at just as heartily as
they were in “the sweet long ago.” The
manager was not allowed to cut up the
turf, hence the circus ring was made, of
grass piled up in a circular mound which
answered the purpose very well, but the
hungry trick horse had to be constantly
and closely watched to prevent him from
eating up the ring. The circus people
were not prepossessing in personal appear-
ance, and the music by the band was dis-
tressing, but the performance throughout
was excellent and would do credit to a
more pretentious great London circus.
The usual big lunged nuisance climbed all
over the spectators, hawking sickish lem-
onade, peanuts, “elegant French mixed
candies,” song books containing, as the
clown announced, “the song which I have
just sang,” “tickets for the concert imme-
diately after the big show is ova-a-ah,”
etc. The attendance in the afternoon was
slim but in the evening there Were not. far
from 500 people present.
Two cases against Editor Birdsall of the
Hartford Telegram came up in the police
court Thursday, and he was arraigned for
the charge of criminal libel brought by
the zEtna life insurance company for an
article published Monday, stating that
they were in an unsound financial condi-
tion. His counsel entered a plea of not
guilty. The insurance company's attor-
ney asked for an increase of bonds, and
intimated that the defendant might be
tempted to “skip bail" under his present
bonds. The judge then fixed the bonds
at $1,500; Mr. Birdsall was re-arrested,
his case continued till July 18, and the
amount of bond in this case fixed at $500,
making the whole $2,000, and bondsmen
were secured. The Telegram company
has been endeavoring to make arrange.
ments for publishing the paper at Meriden,
and without success. Mr. Birdsall has
published a circular for the public in
which he states that he was informed of
serious losses in the Etna company, and
knowing how Hartford had suffered from
the failure of two insurance companies,
believed it a fit subject for newspaper
comment, and that the public should
know it. He acknowledges his error, and
says no one would have been more prompt
in acknowledging the mistake than him-
self if he had known the facts.

It is reported from Washington that
there is no chance that the Dependent
Pension bill will even reach a vote in the
House at this session. Well, nobody ex-
pected that it would. Cleveland does not
care to have it come to a vote, and his
slaves in the committee will see to it that
the royal will is respected.
Asa Foote,ywho rented the barracks to
the Italians on Plymouth avenue, was ar-
rested on Saturday for maintaininganui—
sauce, that action being brought by the board
of health, at the instigation of citizens in

ed with the doings ofthe ltalians. Foote
was fined, his costs and all amounting to
about $15.00.
A four-year-old son of Charles S. Ster-
ling of the firm of Sterling Bros. of Bridge.
port was badly scalded on Saturday night.
His mother had prepared to give him a
bath and had placed him in the tlib. She
then left the room for a moment, and dur-
ing her absence the child opened the hot
water faucet and was terribly scalded be-
fore his mother returned.
Aftcr all, Congress shows its real regard
for Mr. Cleveland by keeping right on
passing pension bills. The members
know that Mr. Cleveland likes to work,
and that he is anxious to beat the record
on vetoes, anti so they oblige him by pass-
ing pension hills which he sits up nights
to disapprove, and thereby earns a reputa-
tion among some folks for being a hard
worker.
News reached Norwalk yesterday of the
death of Arthur Lockwood, the youngest;
son of theflate LeGrand Lockwood, Sr.,
which occurred in the far west and that
his remains were being brought to Nor-
walk for interment in the family lot.
Young Lockwood was a graduate of Yale
and a general favorite with all. He has
been ill with pulmonary disease for a long
time.
According to the Hartford Times the
rumor prevails among military men
throughout the state that as soon as the
next encampment is over and matters
pertaining thereto have resumed a tranquil
condition, General Graham will resign the
position of brigade commander. Keeping
company with this report is the prophecy
that Colonel Watson of the Fourth regi-
ment will succeed the retiring brigade
commander.
On Monday morning Justice Selleck dis-
charged William Murray charged with as-
sault and breach of the peace in Fahan’s
saloon on the 5th, as the complainants
failed to appear to testify. Daniel and
Anna Cohen for vagrancy andintoxication
were given thirty days and costs each.
Wm. Fahan, for assault, breach of the
peace and intoxication, was found guilty
and fined $10 and costs, appealed; John
J. Hanlon qualifying as bondsman in the
sum of $100; Lockwood for prosecution,
Walsh for plaintiff.
Monday evening as Michael Henley,
who keeps {grocery store on Chapel
street, with two companions, was driving
up West avenue, their horse, a superann-
ated gray trotter which Healv had just
purchased, jumped over the bank of dirt
beside the sewer ditch in front of Dr.
Baldwin’s and fell over the planks that
cover‘the ditch. The occupants of the
wagon were thrown violently out and
sustained injuries more of less‘,’,severc but
not not serious. The horse was severely
cut and bruised and wasbrought to Dann’s
stable where it now is. Officer DeForest
helped the men out of their dilemma.
The borough sent as handsome a delega}
tion of paraders to Bridgeport Wednesday
as there was anywhere in the line. Pio-
neer hook and ladder company. in their
neat white flannel shirts and natty tennis
caps elicited much favorable comment ;
Hope hose boys, with their glistening car-
riage looked fine, the Americus drum
corps; in their new uniform compared
favorably with the best as to appearance
and playing; the Mutuals also appeared
well, and the Nor-walk bicycle club show-
ed off to good advantage and won lots of
applause from the spectators, especially
the girls.
The Republican party is to be congratu-
lated that the biography of Gen Harrison,
their candidate for President, will be
written by Gen. Lew Wallace the author
of Ben Hur. Gen. Wallace will have the
assistance of Gen Harrison, who will
give his view on matters of national in-
terest. The book will be a finished liter-
ary product and will unquestionably be
the best campaign book published, and
have an immense sale. Agents who want
to make some money and do a good work
for the Republican party can apply to the
well known publishers, S. S. Scranton &
Co., of Hartford. Ct., who have the work
to sell by subscription.
The Italians at the barracks back of the
pottery got into an argument among them—-
selves, presumably over the tarifi question,
Monday afternoon. The argument began
in the third story of the building, and all
frauds volunteered their respective argu—
ments in the shape of bricks, hatchets,
stones, iron bars and fists until the delib—
erations assumed the appearance of a Dem—
ocratic love feast and every argument
carried with it a convincing degree of
force. Two of the leaders in the discuss—
ion, whose names, as near as the the re—
porter could catch them, sounded like
Keroseno Maccarone and Organmonki
dc Paregorieo, became engaged inaclose—
ly contested argument concerning the
duty on maccaroui, in the course of which
they clinched and being near the door
which was wide open, in their earnestness
they overstepped the boundaries of safety
as well as propriety, and both fell, locked
in a fond embracé, out of the door, to the
ground, two stories below, a distance of
about thirty feet. Nothing but their in-
tc'nse earnestness in the subject under
discussion and the rugged healthiness of
their constitution, saved them from being
two dead Romans, butsingularly enough
neither one was injured by the fall. The
disturbance attracted a big crowd of spec—
tutors and after awhile the police came
around. Chief Lockwood walked in.o the
barracks followed by Officer Morehouse
and shortly afterwards came out with an
Italian in each pocket. The belligerents
were taken to the lockup where they were
kept until Tuesday morning when they
were discharged.
At about half past one Tuesday morn-
ing the fire department was called out to
extinguisha fire in the barn on the Sta-
ples place on Harbor street. The electric
fire alarm being out of order, the firemen
failed to get to the scene until the barn
was almost consumed, and the only thing
that they, could do was to prevent the
sparks from setting fire to neighboring
buildings. and pull down the blazing
frame of the barn. The building was un-
doubtedly intentionally fired from the out-
side, at the end occupied by two horses
owued by Arthur Hubbs, the tea and
spice dealer. Both horses were burned,
also Mr. Hubbs’ covered tea wagon which
contained a valuable load of tens, coffees
etc. It required hard and constant work
to prevent the large sparks from setting
fire to Mrs. Staples’ house near the barn,
and Principal Wigham’s house on the
north side, and several trees in adjacent
yards were severely scorched. Mr.
Hubbs’ loss is covered by $000 on his
horses, wagon and a quantity of bay. The
barn was insured for $400. It required
some time to give the first effective alarm,
but shortly after the bell began to ring the
scene of the fire was thronged’ with spec-
tators, including scores of women and
children. .
Rev. Col. Anderson put in a full day of
religious service Sunday. He preached to
his own people morning and evening, at
Bell Island in the afternoon, having
Rev. Dr. Hamilton for an auditor among
others. In the evening he preached a
reverent and eloquent discourse on sub-
jects akin to our National Anniversary
and the Gettysburg reunion.
The premium lists 01' the next annual
fair of the Fairfield County Agricultural
Society, printed at the Gazer-rs office are
out. A perusal of this little volume shows
that the new management is fully deter-
mined to leave no pains untaken to induce
farmers, merchants and others, to contri-
bute to the success of the fair this fall,
and as the executive committee are men
of energy and determination it is safe to
look forward to the fair of 1888 as the best
in every way yet given by the society.
John (“Broadie”) Cahill and William
Shcehan, were tried before Justice Chi-
chester of Wilton, Saturday, for setting
fire to the Buckley burn on Belden Hill.
They were found guilty and bound over
to the superior court. Sliechan succeeded
in procuring a boudsman but Cahill went
to jail. It was thought by many that
in the arrest of these boys, the “fire bugs”
who have, been burning burns in the
this borough quite extensively of late,
were apprehended, but the Staples fire 0f
Monday night, after the apprehension of
these parties, tends to absolve them from
that suspicion.
Dr. P. C. Cummings. of Canaan, father
of Sherwood C. Cummings, now in charge
of Lapham’s drug store, is in town on a
short visit with his son. Notwithstanding
these be the beginning of the troublous
days of political chicanery, and the Dr. is
earnestly devoted to the cause of his can-
didate, his visit here has no political sig-
nificance, firstly because hedoesn’t pull
political wires and secondly because his
candidate could rouse little or no enthu-
slasm in this region. It may be well to
explain, parenthetically, that the Dr. has
for several years past voted for “Truth’:
for all the ofilcers from President down to
hayward, always making an exception in
the candidacy for town clerk, and voting
for Co]. J. B. Hardcnbergh, Canaan’s
scholarly postmaster, for that position—
and always with the satisfaction of seeing
the Colonel elected.
The committee, Messrs. A. E. ‘Austin,
Chas. Olmstead and Platt 'Price, appointed

Supt. Downcs of the .horse railroad

though rumor says he may look favorably

ments for him to remain with them.
The west abutment for the highway
under the New Haven tracks at Old
Field’s crossing west of the depot is about
completed, and shows itself as one of the
most thoroughly built, durable and bean—
The grading across the
salt meadow at the south is well advanced
and there will be taken from the railroad’s
embankment enough earth to finish it.
The work is daily reviewed by citizens
and generally admired. Operations at
Compo crossing are progressing but slow-
ly on account of a large and very tough
rock encountered, and which is being cut
away by steam drills and the use of dyna—
mite. Accepting thc railroad’s offer to
carry forward the work at these two
points, the town escapes a heavy bill,
which taxpayers, under other circum-
stances, would have had to pay.
Patrons of the New Haven road say an
advance in fare from 0 to 10 cents for a
ride from Saugatuck to Norwalk is too
much. They wish the fare might be re—
duced to 5 cents. “PAUL."
