Manager “Mort” Hoyt is personally and
specially entitled to the public gratitude
for an act of prompt and courageous duty
to himself and his patrons, in the arrest
and conviction of the rowdy who disturb-
ed an assemblage of reputable people at

entertainments by half drunken rowdies
here in Norwalk is getting to be so com-
mon an evil that all decent folks will re-
joice at Hoyt’s effectual measures for its
suppression. '
—The Democratic Rec-0rd seems to be aii—_
noyed by what it calls the psalm singing
at the Republican meeting at the Opera
House last Thursday night. The only
“psalm” sting on that occasion was the
National hymn, “America” which begins,
“My Country, ’tis of ihce.”_ Is it too Am-
erican for our Demou'aiic friends? It
may reconcile them to the singing to be
reminded that the tune is English—“God
save the Queen." It is a free—trade im-
pott. '

The Fair of tlic l‘aii'iicld County Agri

must be pronounced a success, notwith—
standing tlic‘ receipts will probably no

conthmed rainy Weather which preceded
the exhibition and the threatening and
rainy aspect of the elements during the
session were sufficient to prevent the large
attendance that was both expected and de-
served, but in spite of the adverse circum—
stances, the attendance was large, espe-
cially on the second day, when it is esti—
mated that nearly 6,000 people were on the
grounds, and the management have the
satisfaction of knowing that it was nothing
but. the forbidding weather, to which the
'fair seems fated, that prevented a stupen—
dous attendance. The exhibition in itself
was first—class in all departments, and the
committees are entitled to gieat credit for
their efforts to make the fair :1 success.

the name of Mrs. W. E. Buxton. A
palpable mistake, as Mrs. Buxtou is at her
home in Norwalk, healthful and happy,

highest style of the dressmaker’s.art. She
has no intention of furnishing material for

The house in Selleck’s Corners which
received considerable notoriety about fif—
teen years ago as being the house in
which widow. Selleck was murdered, was
entirely destroyed by me about four
o'clock Saturday morning last. It was
occupied by Christian Pfiefier and his
family. The origin of the fire is shrouded
in mystery. Some of those whom curre—
porter has interviewed, and- who are ac-
quainted in the vicinity, when asked as to
the cause of the fire, shake their heads in
a dubious manner and say nothing. Those
who come out bluntly and express an
opinion, say it was unquestionably a case
of incendiarism. There was an insurance
of $1,450 upon the property destroyed,
which is generally believed to be ,much
more than it: was worth. Insurance agent
Northrop holds the policies, and he is
busily engaged in making an investigation.

The ninth annual banquet of the Bridge'
port. Bar association was held Saturday at-
ternoon at the George hotel,and was voted
by all present to have been the must suc—
cessful one, gastronomically, intellectually
an '1 in every respect, that the association
has eVer held. There were 33 members
present. Col. S B. Sumner the president
of the association, opened the post-pran-
dial exercises with avery interesting ac-
count of his journey to Bridgeport when
he took up his abode here and of the ap-
pearance of the place at that time, just 25
years ago, withrtminisccuccs of the law
yers of that date, who were few and scarce ’
compared with the present array of legal
talent. As toast-master the colonel was in
his happiest frame of mind and introduced
the various speakers, whose remarks were
listened to with the kecucst interest and
delight.
Charles McCue,_ouc of the gang ofbrick
layers employed by contractor Smith, on
the new Buckley rubber faciory,got drunk
Saturday evening, and evidently set out to
avenge the recent arrest of five of his com-
rades, by having some fun with the po—
lice. He sauu ran across Chief Lockwood
and iinmediatelyrbegan to be boisterous
and violent. The chief reinoustrated with
him and warned him to keep quiet 01' he
would be taken tothe lockup. At this Mc—
Cue defiantly and loudly .challenged the
officer to just try it once, and blusteringly-
informed him that there was no policeman
in Norwalk that could take him in; He
was cut short in his warlike utterances,
by the chief deliberately reaching out those
grappling books of his and gathering the
booster in, in a manner more vigorousthau
tender. McCuc repented in the lockup till
Monday morning, when Justice Selleck
gave him $57 and casts, aggregating 314.
Master Homer M. Byiiigtou, grandson

these words, piinted in Mikado type:

time was had at the “ Wreu’s Nest " on

advent of photographer North wlio:canie
up, and took a fine and spirited picture of
the lively little group.
Gideon Thompson, aged 92, the oldest
and one of the most respected citizens of
Bridgeport. passed quietly away, Monday
afternoon. at. 5 o’clock: Mr. Thompson
was born in Huntington, March 14, 1797.
At the agent 21 he married and took up
his residence in Bridgeport, of which he
has been a citizen ever since. When he
went there he jomed the masons and has
been a member of St. John’s lodge ever
since. He was probably one of the oldest:
it not the oldest, masons in the state. His
wife, who was married at about 18, died
in 1808, and was over 60 years of age.
Their only child, a daughter, married Gen-
eral Dwight Morris, and died in 1800 at the
age of 30 years. Mr. Thompson was con-
fined to his bed for the past four weeks or
so with weakness, the result of his ad—
vanced age. He was'always a vigorous,
healthy man of strictly temperate habits.
His death was caused from old age. Two
days before he expired he was unconscious
of all around him. Mr. Thompson was a
plain unosteutntious niau. Although he
never held an office he was more than
once asked to accept a nomination, but ab-
solutely refused. He was a man of con-
siderable wraltl . Almost every other day
before he died his old friend, 1’. ’l‘. Bir—

The Fair.
The forty-eighth annual fair and cattle
show of the Fairfleld County Agricultural
Society began Wednesday nudermore than
unusually unfavorable circumstances. The
protracted season of stormy Weather had
seriously interfered with’ the bringing in
of articles for exhibition, besides prevent-
ing the large attendance which the inde-
fiitigniible work the officers and various
committees had expended on the arrange—
ments richly deserved. The threatening
weather of the first (lay had a painfully
perceptible effect on the attendance in the
forenoon, but before night the grounds as.
suined something or a suggestion of its
old-time liveliuess, and the various \fakirs
and liucksters breathed more freely and
howled more vigorously. '
' 9f the exhibition itself, it certainly can -
not be said that it was in excellence one
whit behind the exhibitions of former
years. The various departments by the D.
M. Reed company of Bridgeport,- repre—
senting $5,500 worth of goods in lace dra—
pings, curtains, iipholsteriugs and ladies’
dress goods. Ambler & Summis made one
of the costliest exhibits in the building of
laces, draperies, rugs, etc; Whitney,tlie art
dealer occupied one whole side in the new
fancy articles room ; Mr. Edwin ,I-ont’s
family, of New Canaan, made a profuse
and magnificent display of various styles
of fancy work which held the admiring
attention of the ladies, and most of the
gentlemen gazed upon the exhibit with in-
terest and admiration; in this department
Miss Fannie Hoyt exhibited a number of
handsome paintings in oil, and Miss Fan—
nie and Miss Edna Hoyt showed a. most
interesting assartment of richly embroid-
ered and hand-painted tidies, pillows,uap-
kins, etc. ; .Mrs. Jonathan Camp, aged 81
years, took first premium on two beauti-
ful paintings; Mr. H. G. Thompson, of
Wilton, entered for exhibition two magnif-
icent oil paintings. The ladies’ and fancy
goods department was gorgeous With its
various displays of crazy quilts, embroid-
crles, paintings and indescribable army of
other “ funny business.”_
The D. M. Read Co. had a rich aud'tasty
display of dress gobds, laces, etc.; J. B.
Ells’ show of furniture was by no means
the least inte'restiug exhibit in the hall; F.
R. Starr, had a full and complete exhibit
of candles and kept the big crowd well
sweetened; in the agricultural department
Stephen Hoyt’s Sous made a big display
of garden vegetables, fruits, etc., and
showed 50 different varieties of apples for
competition for the largest number of va—
rieties, and 15 varieties of apples for the
best variety premium, also 15 varieties of
potatoes; perhaps the next largest exhib -
itor of garden produce was Elijah Ballard,
of South Wilton, whose display was very

Some Pertinent Questions.
There are two little questions that we
fwould like some democrat to answer, be—
cause that party insists upon being called
the friend of the workingman par excell~
cnce :
1. Why was the capitol of Texas built
by convict labor and by imported pauper
contract labor against the persistence pro-
tests of of American workiugmen 1’
2. Why did the democratic House bf
Representatives on the 19th of July vote
,down an amendment to the Mills bill, for-
bidding by finc and confiscation, the im—
portation into this country, of goods made
by'convict labor in foreign prisons?
Or if they don’t like to answer these we
have two others that we would like our
democratic friends among the batters to
“chew” on. .
If the republicans are, as you say, the
enemies of the workmen, why did the re—
publican legislature in Massachusetts and
another in New York put the batting in «

Means of the House refuse a hearing to

. The story of an altercation Saturday night
15th, by which Adam Mieleskie met his
death is a sad one. He had been to the
village in _company with Carl Mier and
Frederick Seittemann and was returning to
his home in the Poortown district. For
reasons not clear the three began a. dispute
during which Mieleskie was seized and held
by Mier while Seittemann stabbed him with
a large knife. From these injuries he died
Friday morning, aged 42 years. The assail-
ants were arrested by ofiicer Kemper, and
bound over for trial on charges of assault
with intent to-kill, and assault and battery.
Both men were sent to jail where they now
are; It would appear likely that when the
state attorney gives the case to a grand jury
they will return true bills. The murdered
man was buried Saturday in the Catholic
cemetery.

\
'Jellitfc. Austin Wakeman, Charles Wheel-
er, Edward Hubbell, Henry Buckingham
and William Marvin. The wheels cm-
brace all manner of patents and some of
them are of the finest and most expensive.
All the boys are amateurs, but as such
many of them have done well enough in
making speed to be called experts. The
road from the village to the railroad sta—
tion is the favorite as there are on it no
hills to climb, and it is invariably in good
order. There has been some talk of form-
ing a wheel club, but probably nothing
will be done about it till next spring.
The spirit of the lines, “Not a drum was
heard, not a funeral note,” was renewed
last week Wednesday when the democrats
erected their hickory pole in front of Con-
nery 6; Osborne’s grocery. They wanted
this pole to display their red signal (cm—
blem of danger) and to help support their
really elegant Cleveland and Thurman
banner. Err-Selectman Eliphalct Gray
presented the stick, as he had done the
first one set up Monday previous in front
of Lewis’ meat shop. As the boys were
were raising this pole (in silence) the
tackle broke and down it came with a
crash. While a dozen or more democratic
lives were endangered, none were lost,
but the pole fell upon a dog—a good dog,
belonging ‘to Frederick Allen, Esq., the
hermit of Wright Island, which» the Salt
sea waves kiss in the middle of the river,
opposite Ball Mountain, instantly killing
him. Had the dog known as much before
as he did the moment he was bit, he might
have used his instinct and kept clear of
crowds of that political kind porteuding
evil omens. The pole finallxrose to place,
and then the raisers sadly and silently
stole away.
Two of the straightest and prettiest
hickory poles that ever grew have been
raised by the republicans one in front of the
bank buildin , the other' opposite. They
stand 90 feet iigh and are the gift of Mr.
Andrew C. Nash. They were cut in what
is familiarly known as Aunt Phoebe’s woods
near Stony Brook. The poles have associa-
tions which are pleasant. They werenearly
large enough to cut 'for campaign purposes
in 1840, when then the grandfather of Ben
Harrison, (who’s going to be elected), was
the successful candidate of the Whigs. The
democrats, who clutch‘at good things, had
their eyes on these poles then to help out
“Van, Van, the used up man.” In ’44 they
looked toward the poles for Polk, in ’48 for
Cass, ’52 for Pierce, ’56 for Buchanan,’60 for
Douglass, ’Gl for McClellan, ’68 Seymour,
’73 Greeley, ’76 Tilden, ’80 Hancock, ’84
Cleveland, but the owners then as now were
of the wrong stripe. In ’88 they took favors
from the Coleytown district, and the repub- .
licaus who are the real democracy, asked for
and received the poles. This, (Tuesday),
evening they will be made to support an
elegant Harrison & Morton banner to be
surmounted by the “Stars and Stripes’ in
the place where they belong—the highest.
They will be saluted ‘ by cheers and the
music of a brass band, and afterwards in
National Hall Hon. J. T. Littlefield of New
York, will make an address in which will be
shown the method of figuring employed by
democrats to convince themselves that re-
publimn strength in Maine has fallen off;
and their own stmngth increased. The
poles being straight and upright like the
principles theparty putting them up repre-
sent, are quite in contrast with the squatty,
crooked examples of the other fellows on the
east side. "PAUL.”

Trowbridg'e Speaks.
A word to the republican speakers :—
Wc had a rousing meeting on Friday eve-
ning which was addressed by two eminent
speakers, one from Hartford, the other
from Baltimore. They. went back to Jack -
son's administmtion and followud it up to
date. The principal topic was the tariff.
My mind is this: there has enough occur.
red the last 25 years for any speaker to
handle, as the most of them who are pres—
ent are familiar with. They should start
'from 1860 when there was a democratic
president and the South was solid demo—
.cratic, the same as it is now, when they
said if we elected Lincoln president they
should rebel—and they kept their word.
Do they propose to do the same thing over
again? If they do,tiicy will have a- chance,
as Harrison will be elected. The speaker
should lay before the public the copper-
head element that prevailed at the North
during the rebellion—some of them are
amongst us now, out probably in every
town in the United States. When the news
came of the defeat of the Union forces
they would cxclaim,“ There. I told you that
you could never subdue the South, this
war should be stopped atoncc." Was there
anybody living then that supposed that
element would have control of our gov-
ernment in less than a quarter of a century
—but this is their last lease of power un-
der its present organization. The speaker
should lay before the public what the re-
sult would have been if we had free trade
at the close of the war when the govern.
ment owed billions of dollars and every
state and town were heavily in debt. Our
government bonds would have been worth
‘about as much as the old continental
money; it would have been general bank—
ruptcy; in fact, the United States would
have been mortgaged for all they were
worth. Moreover, they should advocate
tarifi reform—that is, on anything we can
produce, the tax on the foreign product
should be so high that it would prevent
its importation. We are fully competent
to perform all the fubor without calling on
foreigners. Aslabor is wealth, the more
we have of itjlle richer we grew. The
above test is about all that is required in
this campaign, and no one need doubt the
issue. Tsownnmon.‘

We are in no end of trouble concerning
our democratic banner. The democrats,
wishing to shame their administration and
party in congress for spending all the
much dreaded “surplus” in the treasury,
and thinking they could show up a thing
or two in the way of “retrenchment and
reform,” took their old banner of four
years ago and gotablacksuiith or carriage
repairer, or somebody of the sort to paint
whiskers on the old portrait of Hendricks
and thus make it stand for the “Old Ro-
man,” for look like him it (lid not. 01'
course, Cleveland’s picture is the same as
four years ago, only like his cause. a little
more faded and worn. But putting the
Whiskers on Heudrick’s face revives poor
Artcmus Ward’s description of his panor-
ama of Daniel in the Lions’ Den. "Dau—
icl,” said he, “can be distinguished from
the lions by the green umbrella under his
arm." But the comical grotesqueuess of
the vice-president’s attempted portrait, is
not the extent of our trouble. It has fright-
ened several horses, and now they tell us
that the passengers and conductors and
brakemeu on the railroad trains are afraid
it will stop the cars. It is indeed a horror
that would break a bank, or stampede a
Chinese procession. The picture, however
is doubtless only prophetic of how the par-
ty will look after election, and this cari—
cature of Thurman only depicts the look
of anguish democracy will then wear.
