The Messenger-’3 Silver Mine correspond-
ent writes: “I'here is one question on
which we are unanimous here, ifzwe‘ can-
not be on politics, that is we would all
note for better Rotuls. This applies chiefly
to the Roadsiu Norwalk, between the

Cardinal Manning presented a most
gloomy picture of London‘s desolation in
a recent. discourse. Half of its 4,000,000
inhabitants, be estimated, had never set
foot in any place of Christian worship.
He compared London to Rollie ill its dc~
cadence, “a pool into which all the na—
tions of the world streamed together and
all the nations of tile world Were continu—
ally flowing."
The uncertainty attending the letter of
Judge 'I‘ot'rcucc, relative to Norwalk’s ap-
peal from the Railroad Commissioners is
dispelled by thcdl-nft of his decision in
which he states as the operative clause, as
follows : “ And be it ordered and deter-
mined that the right of way for said change
in the location of said highway shall be
procured, and the work necessary for said
change ill the location and method of
crossing shall be performed and all daili—
ages incident thereto shall be paid by said
company." _“

It is quite generally and intelligently
surmised that the above visit of the im—
portant personages named, was of a good
deal more significance than the ruling of
one of Gov. Lonnsbury’s proverbinlly good

object of this visit to Ridgefleld had in
view an extension of the little New Canaan

NORWAEK _GAZETTE‘, WEDNESDAY, AU G USTw 2.9,
Robert '1‘. Lincoln, who has just return-
. cd from Europe,whcn asked what the Eu-
glish people think of the presidential
nominations in this countrv, he said:
“The English people are nearly all demn-
crais, and they would like to see democrats
win. It. is iothcirintercst lobe so. They
will be more beucfiitcd than anybody else
if the democratic theory of free—trade is
adopted here.”
The democratic House has fought out
the Senate clause appropriating for the
judgments rendered by the Court of Claims
ill certain adjudicated French Spoilniiou
Claims. This is tantamount to a mall re-
radiating payment on a judgment render-
ed against him, when lle had himself
agreed to leave the claim to the Court’s
decision. There is little chance of justice
being done tllcse French Spoilaiioti claim-
ants until a Republican Congress is elect—
ell.

assuming a shape that guarantees it to be
an unqualified success. The people of
this and adjoining towns are interested in
making thisyear‘s exhibition one that will
demonstrate the fact that the fair can be
conducted to a success here and that it
belongs Ilerc. The committees in charge
of the various details report an encourag-
ing degree of enthusiasm among the ex-
hibitors, and the prospects are that every-
department of the fair will be full of ex-
hibits. One feature of the fair will be
universally commended—the evening ses-
sions and concerts, on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings, when no extra admis-
sion will be charged. The Wheeler &
Wilson full band of Bridgeport, will be
present throughout the fair and also turn-
ish music for the evening concerts.

C. N. G. Encampment.
The annual encampment of the Connec-
ticut National Guard, at Niantic last week
was pronounced by all to be one of the
most satisfactory and enjoyable ever had
by the state militia, and the various divis-
ions were highly complimented by the
high dignitaries. With the exception of
Tuesday and Tuesday night the weather
was all that could be desired. On that
day, hOcher, when the rain came down
in torrents, the wisdom of the present
state administration, and of Quartermas-
techneral Charles Olmstead in particu-
lar was demonstrated by the fact that the
soldiers were comfortably sheltered from
the inclemcncy of the weather by the new
wall tents which have displaced the old
A tents, under which they would have in-
evitably suffered seriorrs discomfort
and possibly contracted serious if not fatal
diseases. The soldiers this year were also
provided with mattresses, which was
another improvement on the old order of
things and-was highly appreciated by the
boys. They all'returned in excellent or-
der on Saturday, tired and sunburucd, but
enthusiastic over the success of the eu-
campmelit of 1888.
Col. Watson, enthusiastically compli-
menth the soldicrly bearing of Co. F, in
the presence of the writer and the sense-
less story ihat Capt. Belts had been rep-
rimanded by him for tardiness, is entirely
untrue. The Colonel was specially pleas-
ed with this Company’s accurate time and
drill and is as much annoyed as Capt.
Bells that such a groundless statement
should have gotten into print.

Fire.
On Saturday for-cuoon the upsetting of
an oil stove in the kitchen of Judge F. W.
Perry on Berkley street, set fire to the
floor and the woodwork of the room. A
messenger immediately went to a fire
alarm box some distance away instead of
pulling the alarm near Fitch’s store, and
the fire department promptly responded,
but misled by the number struck, went in
a roundabout way. Meantime Mrs.
Perry elnpted a wash boiler of water on
the burning floor and Rev. Mr. Torrey who
happened by succeeded in extinguishing
the flames on the woodwork and the fire
department was not needed. The damage
sustained is about $75.
In this connection Rev. Mr. Torrey sug.
gests that we urge our Chief Engineer of
the Fire department to cause cards to be
placed in every house in the borough
designating which particular fire alarm
box should be visited in the event ofa fire.
As it is now, few if any families know
which alarm box to use in the moment of
danger.
Again, Insurance Agent 0. E. Wilson
suggests that people should know that the
use of coal oil, or gasoline stoves vitiates
policies of insurance unless special per-
mits are obtained from insurance coni-
panics for their use in houses.

Murder and Suicide in Ridgefleid-
Last Saturday afternoon Dr. A. Y.
Paddock a retired New York dentist liv-
ing in Ridgcfield went ,out with his 18
years old son, Harry to shoot at
a target,when after firing a few shots the
Dr. deliberately fired four bullets from
his revolver into his son‘s body, twoin his
head and two in his chest, then kneeling
he took his shot gun loaded with "buck-
shot and fired the charge into his own
head. Dr. Paddock was 61 years old and
for some years past has been in poor health
and very nervous. There is no doubt that
the terrible deed was committed during a
fit of temporary insanity. The shock is a
severe one to the community and a terri-
ble blow to the surviving wife and daugh-
tCl’. . The interment takes place tc-:lay
(Tuesday) at 11 o’clock. Young Paddock
was recently a pupil at Scllcck’s school in
Norwalk, and was universally beloved by
all who knew him. '

Connecticut Mortality. _
During July there were 1,151 deaths in
Connecticut. In his report for the month
Dr. C. A. Lindsley, secretary of the State
Board of Ilealtlr says:
More frequently than anyotllerthe mouth
of July is the siekliest ill the year. The
month this year shows a lnilcli lower death
rate than July of last. year, the figures being
ll).l as against, 27.0 of a year ago, equiyalent
to the diilereuee in the total mortality of
381 lives This difference is largely due to
the diminished number of deaths from
diarrlleal diseases. .
Scarlet fever occurred in Branford, Bridge-
port, Hartford, Madison, Middletown. Nor-
walk and Stouington, with 11 fatal cases ; in
7 towns as against 1‘! towns In June. .
Diphtheria was reported from Bridge-
port, Bristol, Danhury, Derby, East Wind-
sor, Enfield, Farmington, Greenwrch, Hart-
ford, Litchfleld, Meriden, Mrddletowu, New
Hartford, New Haven, Norwalk, Norwtch

The “Woman’s Relief Corps” of Nov—

the town universally, are entitled to
especial thanks for whatever of success
attended the securing and serving of the

the field, is the feeding of a thousand peo-
ple. Indeed the average soldier would
much prefer attempting the former hereu-

Obituary.
GEORGE L. FULLER.
Rev. George L. Fuller, a superannuate
member of the New York East Confer-
ancc, died Saturday, at his residence,
Mott Place, at 8 p. in. Mr. Fuller has for
many years been a resident of Norwalk,
and was universally respected and beloved
by our people. The funeral will be held
Wednesday at 2 p. m. iii the 2d Methodist
church.
We copy the following richly merited
tribute to the worth of young “Willie”
Jackson from Saturday’s Record. He was
“the widow’s only sort" and his death to
her is a loss irreparable and 'a sorrow ill—
consolablc :—
William A. Jackson.
The great heart of the whole communi—
ty was touched when, on Thursday after-
noon, it was announced that William A.
Jackson was dead. Hebad contracted a
cold while in New Yorknd came home a
on Saturday, 11th inst., sick. He soon
showed symptoms of typhoid fever and
grew rapidly worse until Thursday, at 4
o’clock, when he breathed his last.
Deceased was a son of the late Alfred
Jackson, who died in 1882. He secured
his early education principally ili Mr. C.
M. Scllcck's school, from which he gradu-
ated at the age of 16, prepared for college,
and immediately entered Trinity college
with the object of studying for the minis—
try. After a short term at Trinity, how—
ever, he left and entered Yale, whence he
graduated at the age of 20. After leaving
college he taught school for a year in Eus—
ion Academy and later entered J. Beldcu
Hurlbutt’s law office ill Norwalk as stu—
dent, although he had not entirely given
up his original intention of becoming a
minister. About three years ago he se—
cured a lucrative position in the New York
Custom House, where he was employed
until his last sickness.
“ Will” was a young man of strict in—
tegriiy, refined tastes, brilliant talents and
superior accomplishments,and his untime—
ly death is sincerely mourned by all who
were favored with his acquaintance. Ile
leaves a widowed mother and one sister,
to whom the heartfelt sympathy of all goes
out in unstinted measure. Deceased was
25 years of age. Tire funeral will be held
this afternoon at 4 o’clock at his late home
on Newtowu avenue; interment in Union
cemetery.

ANOTHER MYSTERY.
Excitement in Georgetown and Vicinity.
Quite an excitement was created in
Georgetown and the “Boston” district, of
Bedding, on Saturday nigllt. and Sunday
morning, from the fact that a well known
citizen was missing. Tire facts we have
gathered from a reliable source are these :
Burr Hill, Well known throughout the
county as a farmer and butcher, and who
lives in the Boston district,went to George-
town on Saturday evening, as usual, and
was noticed to have considerable money
with him. He failed to reach home al-
though lris horse and wagon did. Some
papers, which he had about his person,
were found the roadside. Foul play was
suspected by many,.and searching parties
were sent out. They failed to find any
trace of the missing man. It has since
transpired that Mr. Hill was quite heavily
involved, one note of his for $500 having
gone to protest on Friday. Many are un-
charitable enough to think that he has
absconded, and later devalopmcnts point
that way.

Green Key in thenow.
Salt is not necessary for preserving hay
in thc mow, says Editor Cheevcr in the
New England Farmer. In all our farm
experience, with 50 to 60 tons of fodder
stored annually, we never used so much
as a peek of salt in the hay-mews,
never saw any loss from the neglect to
use it. Green hay may keep with salt,
but it will keep just as well Or better with-
out it. If hay is put in a little too green
so it heats more than it should, tread it
down as solid as possible to keep the air
out. y We fork over manure to heat it, but
tramp it down with hogs or otherwise to
prevent heating. Heating in the mow is
a drying process, and if the heat is kept
moderate by hard treading the hay will
dry without injury. If the heat is so high
as to cause visible moisture to rise, a foot
of old swamp buy or straw spread over
the mow for the moisture to condense upon
will save all the good hay beneath. llay
may perhaps burn by spontaneous com—
bustion, but if so the recorded cases are
exceedingly hard to find.

Breed Off the Harris.
The disadvantages of horns on fattening
stock, says an English agricultural paper,
are obvious and admitted, bilt there are
other ways and means of removing them
than by deliberately applying the saw. A
very large and ever-increasing proportion
of British cattle are liornless; and it has
been proved beyond the shadow of a doubt
that no more effectual remedy for the
“ horn trouble” can be employed than the
use of impressichollcd sires. This prac-
tice is extending rapidly over the northern
counties of England, and well might our
Scotch friends forego their advanced
American notions, and adopt the more lul-
manc and desirable methods of “ breeding
out" the horns. They have crossing ma—
terials ill abundance, and no sympathy
should be shown to the reprehensible
practice of inflicting unnecessary pain on
dumb animals where such might so easily
and assuredly be avoided.

A Wage-Earner’s Prosperity.
Letter from William Broadhead, proprietor of ex-
tensive alpaca works, Jamestown. N. Y
Such statements and reports (that I have
become a Free-trader in belief) are abso-
lutely false. . While travelling
through the most of Europe, as I did one
year ago, visiting many manufacturies in
most of the principal cities, and viewing
the agricultural interests in many locali-
ties there, I was more firmly convinced
of the wisdom of our American system of
protection. I visited the village in which
I was raised, and there found men labor—
ing for ten or twelve English shillings per
week, which in our money, would amount
to $2.50 and $3. For this same labor, I
was then and am now paying in James -
town, $1.50 per day, or what would
amount to thirty—six English shillings per
week. Work for which Iwas then and am
now paying $2.25 per day, I found men
doing their for from four to five English
shillings per day, which is less titan ouc~
half what we were and are now paying for
precisely the same work. Many laboring
men in England came to me while there,
and wanted I should hire them and bring
them to this country. All the reply I
could make to this was that if they came
to America, I would endeavor to give or
find them employment. The rep y was
invariably that they were working for
from ten to twelve shillings per week, all
of which was necessarily consumed in bare
living expenses, and that it. was impossible
for them to accumulate enough to pay
their transportation to this country. I
came to this country a wage earner my—
self. I havc watched with interest its
material growth and prosperity under a
high protective tariff. Under this system
I have seen it grow to be the richest and
most powerful nation on the globe. No,
I am not in favor of free trade neither am
I in favor of tariff for revenue only. I am
a stronger protectionist. than ever. 1 am
entirely in sympathy with the platform
adopted by the Republican party at the
Chicago Convention. I admire the ticket
our chosen delegates have placed in nom-
inaiion, and shall do what Ican houOrably
to secure its election in November next.

The Friii‘field County Prohibition 'l‘ent
has-been here and gore. Some forty women
about as many boys and a number of men
were present every night. From them, ideas
have been gathered as to their impressions
of what occurred in the tent as follows:—
that W. S. Bailey, of South Norwalk, is at
heart a republican ; that, like Charles A.
Dana, of the New York Sun, he has sought
at republican hands something in the past,
an office which he did not get; that, by way
of revenge he is now howling against that
party, ostensily in favor of prohibition but
really to help the democratic party ; that
his only sincerity is ill the belief that he
will get good pay for his services from the
democratic campaign fund; that. he is a pol'
itical crank hoping for reward should his
scheme succeed ; that while Prof. (‘3) J. G.
Dailey, with his looks methodically brushed
down over his forehead and posing behind a
cabinet organ on a platform is really a sweet
pretty young man with power to make silly
young women 'titter by his grrmmaces, he
would appear to better advantage singing
nure campaign songs which are original,and
less of . those savoring of dish water, and
dirty dish water at that; that ilrere are
some things ortt of place, as for instance a
clergyman saying grace at a jolly picnic;
that, while Rev. Mr. Delano, of South Nor-
walk, is a splendid man ill the pulpit and
in his ministrations within the church’s
pale, where he belongs and for which his
church pays him a salary, when ‘he comes
outside as he did here and in solemn,funeral
tones intended as earnest appeals on his
knees to the Supreme Architect of the Uni-
verse as a preface to political billingsgale,
he becomes an object of both pity and con-
tempt. In short they hold that Bailey’s ill-
coherencies and llarrangues, Dailey’s yaup
and personal conceit, and this venerable Di-
vine’s misdirected sincerity are about as rid-
iculous a combination of disgusting elements
as were ever jumbled together.

Secretary of the Bridgeport Steamboat Co.,
and Dr. John L. Adams, resident surgeon
of the New York Ear and Eye Infirmary,

tached to an ox cart in which were scaled
the Misses Clute, the Misses Hart, Miss
Bleeker, Miss Clara Maples and Mrs. II
Staples taking a straw ride to and from Ce-
dar Point, made a local sensation by their
style of operations, and the skill with which
they brandished hickory galls. The famil-
iarity with which they used the barn-yard
terms, “Gee,” “Haw,” “Git,” etc, made it
evident that at some previous time they had
read up thoroughly on primitive farm usage.
The fourth regetta of the Cedar Point

one of the best female nurses and phy
siciaus in the United States, and has been
used for forty years with never-falling
success by millions of mothers for their

its value is incalculable. It relieves the
child from pain, cures c‘yscutcry and

it rests the mother. Price ‘35 cents a

“It comes high, lull: we must have it,”
said President Cleveland, as he turned a
sumersault with a codfish for a balancing
pole; bilt when he landed on his back and
looked up into the faces of Edmunds and
Sherman and Hour be perceived that no
circus would hire him for an acrobat after
March 4, 1889.
“It comes high, but we must have it,”
said the Third party Prohibitionists, as
they locked arms with the liquor-sellers to _
defeat the party of temperance rcfornk;
bllt when they saw the people were rapid-
ly identifying them as practical and effi-
cient (lrnnkard—makcrs their campaign cry
of “God and Home and Native Land"
sounded rather blasphcmous in their own
cars.
No matter what he says about the fish-
eries of Canada, the London press is
bound to praise and admire Mr. Cleveland.
“The Daily News” thinks that “he has
strengthened his position”; “The Stand—
ard” maintains that he has “trumped the
Republican ticket”; “The Times" cstecms
his message “a masterly move” and con-
gratulates him on his “adroitucss.” He
can blow poor Canada out of existence,
but so long as he fights for free trade the
British press will fight for him.

1' HI!
I). M. READ 00.,
BRIDGEPORT.
Merchandising is only one part of the
Store idea.
We make that part as thrifty as we know how. In
sunrise or sunset. lands, or at home, no new thing can be
produced butwc find it out, if it is a thing that should
be here. That you know very well if ' you know the
store at all. And you know that getting things on our
shelves grinds their prices to the lowest point. I
From January toJ anuar , busy minds are planning
new things and better things for you. There is no “good
enough” point for us. Better qualities, better shapes,
better service, is the all-the-year-round aim. The yes-
terday standard Won’t do for to-day. The look is all the
time ahead.
And yet buying and selling is only one part of our
doing here.
While we are reaching out to the ends of the earth
and bringing in big money’s worths, there is just as car-
nest thought to make your coming here pleasant whether
you buy or not.
That is the other side. of the store idea.
It is something to know that in the very heart of
this great cityis a Meeting and Resting Place where you
are always Welcome. Checks for your parcels, (no mat-
ter how many, nounatter how often you come), Reading
Rooms, Retiring Rooms and not a cent to pay. Walk
about, look about. You won’t attract attention. Hun-
dreds. maybe thousands, are walklng _. and looking just
as you are. The place don’t seem like an ordinary store
—lnore like a grand 'Fair or Bazaar. You don’t feel that
every sales person’s eye is on your pocketbook. You can
study the styles and the stuffs. You can see the seer-s.
You can go or come, hurry or loiter, or sit in a quiet
nook and not for a moment feel like an intruder, or as if
anyone begrudged you elbow room. No one seems to
see you or to care what you'do. You realize that you
are welcome as a locker-on.
We try to make the store seem more like home to
you than anywhere else you can go outside your own
door. '
