Officer Firm, of Bridgeport, came over Thursday and arresteda colored man natu- ed Davenport for a burglary committed in New Haven. Davenport was found to have in his possession some of the articles of jewelry stolen at the time of the burg- lary. The latest report is that counsel for Jacob Sclrecle, the New Canaan murderer, sentenced to be hanged May 15th will take his case before the supreme court for a stay of sentence anti a new trial on the ground of‘pubiic expressions by sonre of the jurors.

Olmstcad of the State committee are the republicans of the 13th Senatorial district more indebted than to any other one for their magnificent vote and the triumphant election of Senator Catlin.'1‘lrc Generai’s work has been inces- sant and sagacious and is crowned as it deserves to be, with victory. Rev. Messrs. Van Alstync and Ander- son preached earnest appeals to their people Sunday evening to vote as became patriotic Christian citizens, with high and conscientious resolves to so vote as to best subserve the interest and welfare of the people, and iii a manner to most surc- ly meet the approval of the Master. In the course of the last eighty-nine cars we have told our many correspond- ents several times each year with unvary~ ing regularity, that anonymous letters cannot be used. If they would hear the fact in mind, they would save themselves much anxiety and us a tremendous lot of bother. All unsigned communica— tions are destroyed. Mr. J. H. Willett has leased the front office in the Gazs'rrii‘. building, formerly One position in the Navy Department has been refused by twelve persons con- secutively. The only reason of course is that the sa‘ary is too small. When a great government like this expects to get an expert stenographer and typewriter for such a sum as nine hundred dollars a year it ought to be disappointed. Mr. E. Modes, air employe at Buckley’s rubber factory, who left town a few weeks .ago for Northampton, committed stricide at that place. and his body was found on Friday. He had evidently been dead four days before being found. Des- pondency and sickness are supposed to have been the cause of his rash act. He leaves a wife and six children in destitute circumstances in Norwalk. Last Monday a young man was brought before Justice Coolidge on a charge of as- sault, breach of peace, etc.. and at the hearing it came out, that he had simply meta young lady in the horse car depot and attempted to make her acquaintance when another young man, her escort, showed up and protested, and the two gailants scolded each other for a while, when the second young man called tiic first young man a “horrid thing" and had him arrested. He was discharged. Dr. Gregory personally superintended the matter of keeping the groggerics closed up, all through the day, and to him is person- ally due the chief credit of our orderly and quiet election day. Last evening for the first time in years on any election night a lady or child, could walk our streets any- where, without danger of' insult or witness— ing ruflianly behavior. This is more than can be said of the average Sunday evenings. Now why can’t our noble Warden still fur- ther win the public gratitude by suppressing all further Sunday rum selling. The wisdom of the Warden in issuing special orders for the enforcement of the law against keeping liquor saloons open during voting hours, was shown in the decorous carriage of the large number of occupied as a sanctum by theGazs'rrn and Record, where he is fitting tip a merchant tailoring establishment. He announces in another column that he will furnish our people with clothes at prices as low as first-class work will warrant. Mr. Willett comes well recommended, and will un- doubtcdly receive his share of public pat— mange—Round. Warden Gregory has, at his drug store, a veritable General Wm. Henry Harrison badge of the 1840 campaign. It is of wiritc silk, having a good portrait of the hero of TippecaiiOc, a log cabin, “that same old coon" and hard cider barrels conspicuously printed thereon. It is a well preserVed and exceedingly interest- ing memento of that most remarkable campaign. The good borough fathers have done the public a good turn in many places about our streets and sidewalks, but no more sensible and gratifying little thing has been done this summer for the public convenience than the changing of the angle of the crosswalk for pedestrians, who have to go up and down Belden avenue. than that just laid across from the. residence of Builder Wilson to the Carter place. W. H. Stevenson, vice president and general manager of the Housatonic road and president of the New Haven and Der- b road, has been elected president of the ew York and Connecticut Air Line rail- road, better known as the Parallel road. He is also a member of the new board of directors of that road. In an interview Saturday he said the new road would cer- tainly be built. The.same parties who constructed the Derby extension are be- hind the new road.

They should resolutely refuse to countenance a reduction of the tariff. At the meeting of the incorporators of the new horse railroad company Saturday evening the committee on the la out read a report, which was accepted. he route proposes to start from J. C. Randle’s~ store in Winnipuuk, thence down Main street to Wall street to South Norwalk, crossing Washington street down Main to Wilson Point, back to Soutir Nor-walk, down Washington street, across the bridge. around Riverside avenue, across Benedict Farm to Dorlon’s Point, tip East avenue to Van Zandt avenue. where it will meet an intersection which will come through Van Zandt avenue, then up East avenue to the borough again. It is also proposed to build intersections on Bcldcn avenue, Water street anti Harbor avenue, and other streets if deemed advisable. Tire committee was instructed to present it to the next legislaturc.—Sentin¢l. The sterrographer of the future will be the phonograph. Already it has achieved excellent results in reporting. In Orange, N.‘ J., it faithfully recorded |not: only all the political speeches, but all the music. the applause, the various side re- marks and interpolations. It was an ab- solutely true reproduction of the whole scene. Tire tremendous advantages of the instrumentvare apparent, but it will be a great squelcher to the frequent individ- ual who declares that he never made cer- tain remarks which he did make, and gets out of his predicament by blaming it all on the reporter. The phonograph will pillory him without mercy. William Doyle, a big, burly man, with agrudgc against Chief Lockwood for a previous arrest, was on the war path last Monday evening and said he had been looking for the chief for the last three months and intended to give him a thrash- ing. Tire first intimation Lockwood had of any hostile intention was when he was going through the crowd assembled in front of the Gamma Building, when he received a blow on the side of the head. On turning around to see who his assail, ant was he saw Doyle aiming another blow at him which ire partied, and in an instant laid his burly antagonist flat on the sidewalk by a blow with his club which sent. the blood streaming all over the fellows face and clothes. Officer Mauro, who :was close at hand, jumped to the aid of his chief, and Doyle was hustled to the lockup, where he remained until yesterday afternoon, when he was taken before J usticc Scllcck for a hearing. He was bound over for trial' in the supe- rior court in the sum of 8200. Among the burners of the campaign we are told that, while our brightest anti most intensely theoretical advocate of free-trade and deuounccr of the treasury surplus was expatiating most eloquently on the horrors of the surplus to a crowd of friends in his law office, the little bank messenger rushed irp to him with this startling and utterly demoralizing an- nouncement : “Say, the cashier told me to run tip and tell you your bank account is overdrawn. and, he says, you must come right down and fix it tip." It is needless to say tinit it was not a theory, btit a condition, that confronted ‘L‘our thoroughly rattled legal friend,” asmthe little mercenary of the relentless bank fled from his presence. Another still more comical is told us at. the expense of un- fortunate lrut always witty ‘Toin’ Cooncy. A friend seeing him hugging the lamp- post, on the corner of Betta & Farringtorr’s store, Friday night, with a good deal of election fervor, said to him: “What’s the matter, Toni; you. don’t seem to feel well.” “No," stammcred the irrepressible Tom; “I've been a republican up to now. and now I’ll be blanked if I ain't some- how got back to he a d—d democrat again." Whercupon his democratic sym- pathizer incontinently rushed into the. Opera House to swell the feeble numbers attending the democratic prohibition meeting. men who thronged the streets all day. Hardly‘adrunkeu man was to be “E“! and it is safe to say that not a bar retain was entered during the day. But when five o’clock came with its relaxation Of strictures, how freely, copiously and gush ingiy the amber fluid gurgled down the grateful necks of the gallant savior: Of our country. At a regular meeting of the court of burgesses held on Monday evening among other business transacted. the protest of Hope hose company against enforcing the recently passed by-law restricting the membership of each fire company to thir - ty, was presented. Charles T. Peach was present as a delegate from Pioneer hook and ladder company and a resolution was presented by Pbmnlx engine company, urging that the borough board adhere to its action in adopting the hy-law. P. Slat- tcry, on behalf of Hope hose company, presented a petition. numerously signed by the business men of the town, asking for the repeal of the by-Iaw. The matter was laid on the table for further reference. Tire New York Sun has the following upon a recent event of interest and im— portance: This has been an extraordinary year for the dedication of battle monuments on the field of Gettysburg. Scores of them have been added to the already large collection. and the scene there is now such as can nowhere else be found on the globe. Among the most suggestive of these me- morials are the five added last week to do honor to the Maryland organizations that took part-in it on the Union side. These were Col. Maulsby’s Potomac Home Bri - gade, Col. Wallace‘s Eastern Shore Regi— ment, Col. Sudburg’s Third Maryland. all of which served in Gen. Roger’s division of the Twelfth Corps; Lieut. Col. Deem’s First Maryland Cavalry, in Gregg’s Divis- ion of Pleasonton’s Corps, and Rigby’s Battery 'A, of Capt. Fitzhu h’s Brigade of the artillery reserve.

Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll gave one of. his incomparable republican “talks" at Music Hall last Friday evening. It is fair to say that in point of number-sand the in- telligent character of his auditors, no such assemblage was ever convened in Norwalk before. It is estimated that fully one thousand people stood through his nearly two hours‘ speech, many of whom Were ladies, and so charmed were they with the great orator that they would gladly have stood another hour. Mr. Ingersoli is one those unique, fresh and original speakers, who cannot be adequately rc— portcd, and must be heard for one to up — preciate the captivating and magnetic povver and influence of his utterances and of his grand personality. His speech abouuded in floods of unanswerablc facts, in flashes of logic, in masterful reasoning, and convincing conclusions. It was at times a pathetic lyric, an overwhelming nrgumeut,_a moving epic and high ora- tion. One of his strong and apt remarks was that just so long as there was a solid south he hoped to see a solid north, and to remain solid until such time as a repub« licau should be treated just as well at the south as a democrat is treated at the north. The democrats honored him with the most ill-bred and brut‘al thing of which they have been guilty du log all the cam-. paign by matching their brass band and noisy crowd of men and boys seven times around the hall. It did not annoy or dis. concert him in the least. but rather gave the happy turn he took in his remarks. Attempted interruptions always fire-up ids wonderful genius, instead of discon— certing irim, as the poor Englishman, who yelled out his bad manners at trim, learned at such heavy cost, and who left the hall to repair his fatal damages. As a result of his generous and helpful speech four democrats are known to have been con- victed of their political sins and converted to republicanirim.

Tire question as to whether the Parallel Railroad is really to be built has been a great topic of conversation among the business and working men of Bridgeport for the past few days.

Stevenson who is Presi- dent of the New Haven and Derby and Vice-President and General Manager of the Housatonic Railroad and system, and who is one of the rising railroad men of the present day and therefore one who could give some satisfactory information. Our reporter found him buried with let— ters and business papers, and at the same time talking .to division superintendents and dictating replies to his private secrce- tary. Tire reporter made known his bus— mess and asked Mr. Stevenson if' ire had “heard anything about the Parallel Road.” Mr. Stevenson tilted back his chair, look— ed tip and smiling replied, “Well. I be— lieve I have. \Vliy ?" "Because it has been stated that the Parallel road is going to be built, and also stated that it is not, and it was llrougbt you might know.” Mr. Stevenson hesitated a moment and then said: “This is a matter that effects the prosperity and growth of the city of Bridgeport. and is some thing its citizens are deeply interested in. For that reason it is proper that you should be informed. Answering your question I will say it is true that the New York anti Connecticut Air Line railroad, commonly known as the ‘Parallel’ will be built."— Thc reporter said, "but, Mr. Stevenson, some people say that it will not." Mr. Stevenson replied: "Well, my friend, some newspapers and a large num- ber of individuals said that the New Haven and Derby railroad would not be extended or built, but the fact is that the road was built notwithstanding the many obstacles placed in the way, and you, gentlemen of the press," can vOuch for that; for the rea- son that you have been over the road from New Haven to Botsford. Now, re- . plying to your question. ‘Wili the Parallel -, road be built?’ I will say this : Tire Parallel railroad is in the hands of new parties. A new board of directors has been elected, of which I am one, and the new board of ‘ directors have elected me president of the Connecticut AirLiue Railroad company, and the media going to be birilt. “Well," said the reporter, “if that is the fact and you are the president of it, of course it. can be easily guessed who are as- sociated with you in the board of directms and there will be no further doubt in the minds of any one, but the road will be built." After thanking Mr. Stevenson, . the reporter withdrew and Mr. Stevenson resumed his many duties where he was interrupted. We should think, as will our readers, doubtless, that this means business, and before long the public will have the great pleasure aud satisfaction of riding to New York, over the long delayed and much opposed “Parallel railroad." V—,-¢+o————— Herrick 1’. Frost. Mr. Herrick P. Frost, general manage r of the Southern New England Telephone company, died at liis‘lrome in New Haven on Saturday,»aged 53. He was a native of Wolcott, and after working on his father's farm till he was seventeen, got a team and sold goods through several states. In_1_856 he settled in New Ha:- ven and :began a wholesale grocery business. In the earliest days of the telephone he became. interested in lit, and was active in establishing the NewlMaven Telephone company, the first in the world, opened for general bustincss. [a about two years this was merged in the (lot-nec- ticut Telephone company, and this tin 11884 became the Southern New England mele- phonc company, Mr. Frost being their appointed general manager. Mr. Frost was somewhat active in local politics. had served in both branches of the common: council, been police corriniissioncr, and: for three years was chairman of the board ! of finance. Heleaves it wife, two sons , and a daughter, and a lawn; memory. -———4-os»-—— ' A Micable Act. The democrats of Norwalk have never conducted a presidential: campaign with less of riot and excess than the one just closed, and we réjoice to accord them full 1 credit for their good' magnets. But the attempt to disturb‘thc monster meeting of our citizens of all parties at Music Hall, last Friday, was a wanton and inexcusable act of ill manners and brutality, entirely outside legimate political warfare. It was a shameful performance and discredit-able to all who participated in it or in any way encouraged the outrage. Such conduct tinges victory with dishonor and makes defeat welcomed by all decent people. 0 Our Expert Meier. Do our ladies know that Herr Gunther, South Norwalk, is one of the most expert of funiers. For years he worked at his 'artistic trade in the capitals of Europe, and, for the few years prior to coming to this country, ire worked in Paris, the gay capital of sunny France. 110 is now located under the Maliackcmo Hotel, their robes new made or furs altered and repaired, can find him. South Norwalk, where ladies, who wish - Is Consumption Contagious. An international congress of ncarly five hundred physicians lately iii session in Paris was practically unanimous that con- sumption, or tuberculosis, is contagious and transmissible between man and beast. There was unanimity also as to the prime necessity of boiling milk anti cooking meat well as a preventive of much of the consumption which now afflicts the liti- man race. None of these conclusions are new, btit they derive additional force frotn the unanimity with which they were declared and accepted as facts well estab— lished. It was stated that if boiling milk and thoroughly cooking meat are prac- ticed as a rule, one of the leading causes of tuberculosis will disappear. By tuber- culosis is to be understood not consump- tion alone, biit various other forms of the same disease, and also meningitis, wiritc lrumors and scrofula. It seems to have been very generally admitted by the con gross that tuberculosis may be easily com— municated through the digestive organs or through the blood by inhalation. Tire expectoration of a consumptive dairyman carelessly spit upon hay which the cow eats may give the animal consumption, and she in ttrrn may distribute the seeds of the disease through her milk or flesh to the human family. People of robust health anti strong constitutions may escape the contagion, but the proportion of those liable to it liiider tlrcse circumstances is very large. The statement was made by one of the leading members of the confer- ence that over a fifth of the population of the world die of tuberculosis. Tire con- gress did not. discuss the cure of the dis- case, so nruchas the features Of its origin and prevention. Tire central lesson of the meeting is summed up iii the warn- ing to “Beware of saliva ; cook your meat right and boil your milk thoroughly.” Consumptives should not be shut tip in close or ill~~ventilated rooms, but should sleep with open windows and take all the fresh air possible. Various remedies have been suggested, but they are at best palli— ativcs, and yet the doctors were careful to have it stated in the published reports of their proceedings that they do not say the disease is incurable. Tire revivifying and curative virtues of open air life, night and day, in a suitable and mild climate, are said to be wonderful. The air should be dry and bracing, and the food wholesome anti nourishing. «o>-————— SO UTII-NOR WALK. An apt comparison was made by Rev. Mr. Derrick at a meeting of the Hatters’ and Furriers’ Association, in regard to R. Q. Mills and other Democratic speakers, from Texas and the South, regarding the industries Of the North. He says tlresc men “know less about it than a hogr does about heaven.” Tire gospel temperance meeting on Sun— day afternoon was fully attended and short but earnest addresses were made by Messrs. Brown, Haulenbeek, Caleb and Thomas Wood, Fox, Harvey, Plait and Tammany. also by two strangers none of whom had ever found any efficient way of spreading the principles of temperance, except by the law of love. Some admit- ted that there were a few who advocated more law, and had ceased their efforts to save the drunkard now and proposed to wait for a national law before acting. If tlicreis anything that men of character loathe, it is this kind of self righteous lry—- pocrisy in men who pretend to be the trustees of all honesty of purpose in the world regarding the subject of temper— arrce. It is remarkable lrow solicitous the sanctified prohibitionists, and the great generals and lieutenants of the Democ— racy are in regard to the moral standing of the Republicans. Tlrey profess to be very much shocked that the “funeral sermon" of the Republican party should have been so well delivered at Music Hall on Friday irigirt. -COO—- ‘WESTPORZI Messrs. Edward M. Lees, James Hart, L. 1‘. Tracy, John Gorham, and other Democratic enthusiasts who. through the campaign, have thrown chaff at the writer of this column, whenever he expressed confidence tliat Cleveland would be (le— feated, are respectfully referred to the re— turns printed elsewhere iir this paper. Ottt of pure regard for their feelings, be de— elined all their proffered bets, assured them that to bet on a sttre thing and take their money would not be in good form. Those of our citizens who took the trouble to visit South Norwalk and listen to ColonclR. G. Inger-soil consider that they were amply repaid. By an execution served by Constable Frederick Kempcr the Mutual Life Insur- ance Co., of New York, has become the sole owner of tlic Alden-Bircsall property, so longiii dispute, and known as Compo. Tire chances are that in the near future the place will have an occupant who can dwell in peace and enable his neighbors to do the same. , The disputes between the Hatch & Holmes Cutlery company and their credit- ors will be settled by the courts. W. L. Coley is in charge of the property. The manufacturing boom which this company was to give Westport was as a btrbblc which burst so soon as the “soap” in the form of cash from local subscribers to the stock was exhausted. Bishop Williams reopened with cere- monies Saturday Emanuel church, at Lyons Plains, which has. been elegantly refitted and adorned by the ladies. Sev- eral local clergyman were present. Friday was a gala day for the M. E. church at Saugatttck. Services commem- orative of the thirty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the chtrrch were held, at one of which a mortgage note was burned by the pastor as air indication that the entire indebtedness of the church had It is to be hoped that when congress comes together again and prepares the items for appropriation for the river and harbor improvement, the member from the fourth district wrll bear in mind that Saugatuck needs remember-once in a sum sufficient to deepen the channel known as Great Marsh canal, dug by the govern- ment in 1836. Aaron Walsh and family have left the village and moved into the Wm. Dav1d~ son homestead. ‘ Tire Congregational Sunday scirool held their harvest festival last week Thursday. It netted a good sum for the missionary cause. The M- E. church will hold a similar festival in their church shortly. PAUL.

It is understood that about: one hundred and fifty invitations have been given to the Roger-Hoyt wedding to morrow. It will undoubtedly be the most brilliant occasion of the kind held in this commu- iuify for sometime. Mr. Hailam, formerly a teacher of English literature in Troy Seminary, has engaged to give five conversatidns on the Elizabethan period, iii the village during, the month. There are at present twenty subscribers, and the gatherings will be on Monday evenings. Last Sabbath the Rev. F. E. Hopkins began his third year as pastor of the Con—— _ gregational ,‘church.

The semi-annual inspection of the rail- ways of the state has been made by the commissioners, and their reports have been submitted to the directors of the various lines. Following are extracts from their reports: Tire Housatonic road—bed is in excellent conditiotr for winter, and the track is in good line and surface. The fact that no Old material is permitted to lie carelessly along tirelinc just where it happened to be removed from the track, btit is care- fully collected and orderly disposed of, adds much to the tidy appearance of the road. The fact, too, that the road-bed is generally kept caret irll y grassed except the narrow portion covered by the ballast, which must necessarily be disturbed in keeping the ties and track in proper con- drtion, diminishes greatly the amount of over the road. We are glad to note that the new iron bridge over the Housatonic river at New Milford is nearly completed, and that both the sub-structure and the super-structure arc of the most substantial character. Tire first trestle above Howley’s crossing needs two new stringers. The first bridge south of Stcpncy depot slrottld be rcmovud. and we are glad to know the timber is already procured for that pur- pose. The waii at the north end of the tunnel south of Hawteyvillc should be relaid this fall. Tire bridge north of Cornwall bridge needs new stringers and ties. The first bridge north of Falls Village needs new ties, and the bridge itself will soon need removing. Tire piles in the second lrridge north of Falls Village are beginning to show signs of decay and should be renewed soon. TlrcDanbury and Nor-walk division was found in its usually good condition. Tire iron girder bridge just north of Cannon station has been completed in a strbstan - tial manner, and a similar structure is be— ing put in place south of Wilton Station. The wooden structures over the two highways in Bethe], on the Bethe! branch, should be replaced with iron in a similar manner. “far I Etta W CURE Sick Headache and relieve all the troubles inc!- dent to a bilious state of the system. such as Dizziness, Nausea, Drowsiness, Distress after: eating.
