Tire grand jury in their presentment at
Philadelphia the other day, certified to
the cfilciency of high license as a curb to

1887, under the libertine license law,
which then cursed the city, the average
inmates committed for vagrancy and
drunkenness was 1,180, in October this
year it was 862. It is a fact that high
restrictive license always decreases arrests.

The New York Sun explains that Amos
Cummings and Truman Merriman drop
out of congress simply because they are

dollars,” says the Sun, “to run for con-

who has not money himself, or who can—
not command it through friends, can
think of being elected." And sad it is.
but too true, that about the same con—
dition of things seems to exist about every-
where outsizle the solid south.
A big crowd of people came out on the

Much unnecessary anxiety is sometimes
felt With regard to the possibility of per-
sons, supposed to be dead, being buried
while really living. The premature burial
of a living person must be, if it happen at
all, the result of inexcusable haste or
carelessncs, and is in the highest degree
improbable when even the ordinary pre-
cautions are taken. A proper examination
of the body by a competent medical man
in doubtful cases would render such a
mistake almost impossible—American 0y-

In the series of classics for children,
Tom Brown at Rugby, by Thomas
Hughes, to be published Jan. 1, 1889, an
eminent critic says, “ ‘Tom Brown’ is the
best description of English public school
life that has ever been, or that is ever
likely to be, written.” Every new reader
of the book,—-and there will always be
hosts of new readers of it,——-confirms this
judgment. Tire charm of the work is its
fidelity to vigorous, wholesome boy life.
In “Tom Brown" there is no cant or pre
tencc. We follow his career from child—
hood to manhood feeling that we know
him as we know ourselves; and that we
gain by contact with his fresh, true spirit. '

The big republican adebrstiiou parade
last evening was a stupendous success and
in the number of men in line, the brilliancy
of the paraphernalia. the diversity of in-
teresting features displayed and the extent
and nature of the fireworks and illumina-
tions which greeted them all along the
extensive line of march, excelled anything
of the kind ever before seen in this town.
The chief marshal was the Gazsrrs’s

of our honored President-elect, Gen. Wm.

cherished as a valuable memento of that
exciting campaign, in the family of Chol-
well Grumman. Tire column was formed

Mr. Walter Nichols. manager of I the
Long Beach shore resort, near Bridgepogt,
has signified his intention of suing the
New York World on account of a sensa ~
tional Bridgeport dispatch published in
that paper on Sunday, Nov. 4th, regarding
the marriage of Miss Carrie Nichols of
Bridgeport and Mr. Louis B. Crane of
New York, which, according to the dis-
patch took place at two o’clock in the
morning and which was alleged to have
been written up inaway that compro-
miscd not only the contracting parties,
but the relatives of Miss Nichols, includ-
ing Mr. Walter Nichols who is to bring
the suit. Thedisputch in question states
that the youug'couple first met last sum-
mer at Meadows End, near Milford, on
the sen shore, whereas so far from this
being the case, both Miss Crane, along
with her other sisters, and Mr. Crane and
his brother John, have all been regular
summer guests at the popular Warner
House in Canaan, Litehliehl county for
several years past, where the pair became
acquainted a number of seasons ago. Mr.
Nichols says to the Bridgeport Post .' “I
propose to ascertain if the law will allow
these special correspondents to attack the
reputation and social standing of people
in this city and cause them trouble and
loss of friends for the sake of a few paltry
dollars which the correspondent may get
out of any sensational story which he may
maliciously write up.“

tractor for the work, and five workmen—-
Stephen Breen, John McGinness, George
Steele and two Italians. -Every one of them
were more or less injured. Breen had sev-

of one of the Italians will also probably
prove fatal. McGinness was hurt in various

trial in the February term of the superior ,
court. It will be remembered that the .
assault was attempted iii front of the
Gamma building, while the republican '
marching club was starting out to the.
music of ndrum corps. On the way to I
the jail the chief gooduiaturedly, but with ‘
a serious expression, 'said to the prisoner:
“See here, Doyle, I don’t care anything
about your getting the drum corps out so
you could thrash me to lively music, but I
don’t think it. right for you to have the
bill for music sent to toe. I can do my
own drumming, as you found out.” Doyle
implored Lockwood not. to mock his mis-
ery, and the couple went to the jail in
silence.

in -Willow Brook cemetery. DcceuSed

He had been a citizen of New York about
twelve years. -
One former resident of the town, W. B.
Douglass, of Washington, D. 0., came
here to vote last week. He put in a ballot
for Harrison, and was not challenger! as
in 1884. The man who played that trick :
on him four years ago has learned mean- =
time what he did not know before, that ‘
citizens of the United States, residing in
the District of Columbia, never vote there
on national matters, but go for that piir-

among ardent democrats that the counters
in tallying inadvertently footed a package
.of either 23 or 32 democratic tickets in,
.thoseofflre republican side, thus giving'
.the election of congressman to Miles in-
stead of Seymour. Republicans are will-
ing a recount should be made, .conlldent
that the closest examination of ballots
and tallies will not change the .result .as‘,
declared by the moderator.
Awealthy Saugatuck lady reading in,
the N. Y. Times, during a month before:
election, of the offers of men all over to
bet large sums on Cleveland, and that no
takers could be found, became disgusted.
Having strong republican proclivities she
addressed the Times, stating that she had
$5,000 in 7 per cent. government bonds
with which she stood ready to cover a
like {mount from any person the paper
chose to designate or send, that General
Harrison would be the next president.
The Times did not print the letter, nor did
it send any of its boasted wealth riskers to
meet the lady. A brother of hers in New
Haven, hearing of the incident, instantly
wired that he would back her against the
Time with $20,000 additional.
The street parade this Monday chning
by the republicans was a splendid affair.
Heine’s band, of South Norwalk, and a
club from that city were in line. Fully 60
citizens, some of them full bonded demo -
crats, swelled the ranks. In carriages we
noticed Mr. :Horace Staples, who voted
for president. in 1824, Capt. H. P. Burr,
Gen. Charles Olrristead, Senator E. J.
Hill and others. George B. Smith, leader
of the Saugatuck contingent, rode a horse
the whole distance. Among those whose
dwellings or [laces of business were illu-—
minated wore L. Tuttle, Charles Fable’s
shop and house, D A. Salmon, H. A.
Ogden. Howard Staples, Dr. F. Powers,
Samuel Wood, W. L. Coley, Mrs. Abram
Bradley, L. R. McDonough, Robert Lees,
Lces’ store, J. K. Palmer, R. D. Cable, G.
S. Adams, Rev. J. E. Coley, Horace
Staples, Rev. Mr. Carroll, E. S. Wheeler,
J r., M. Fillcy, Staples High School, Capt.
W. C. Staples, Edward H. Nash, J. C.
Jones, F. If. Nash, while the houses of
Capt. II. P. Burr, James Jessup and B. L.
Woodworth were spoken of as the most
elegantly and appropriately decorated and
illuminated of any seen on the line. Na-
tional Hall was pdbked with people, and
a look at the tables made it evident that it
was a sandwich of the very best and most
liberal composition. Some 800 persons
were fed, and enough was left to feed
hundreds more. A special table for
veterans of 1840 was set on the stage, and
some 20 v'vholiad voted for Tippecanoe,
48 years ago, sat. at it. For enthusiasm,
hearty greetings and general display, the
republicans feel that they take the frosted
cake. Austin Wakeman was one of the
aides—dc camp on the marshali‘s staff and
did good work. PAUL.
SO UTILNOR WALK.
0f the many beautiful and attractive
decorations made on the night of the re—
joicing in South Norwulk, none were more
elaborate and appropriate then that in
front of the residence of Joseph Scribner
in Cross street, where amid the illumina—
tion and star spangled banners, that ven-
erable man stood with uncovered head,
rejoicing in the great republican victory.
An earnest and enthusastic Gospel tem-
perance meeting was held on Sunday
afternoon, at Temple of Honor llall, rt-
viving-thc memories and good results of
the old reform club. As no active meas-
urcs have been made to reclaim the ine-
briutc’, since its disolution.
There are men anxiously Writing for the

Election has come and gone, and there
are, as the result of it, no broken heads or
hearts.
Sylvester Wood, a shoemaker in this
town, recently employed by Frank Ayres,
was struck and killed by the lightning
express at Stamford Thursday.
Mrs‘. Martha A. Raymond, wife of Mr.
Arza Ifaymond, agent for Adams Express
company in this village, received injuries
by a fall from a wagon week before last,
from the effects of which she' died on
Monday evening. the 5th inst. Deceased
was a member of the M. E. church, from
which her remains were borne to their last
resting place on Thursday. She was held
in the highest "esteem by all who knew
her, and her husband has the sympathy of
the entire community.
Dr. Clarence BTBWHSOII made a gallant
run on the democratic ticket for the legis—
lature. He came within a dozen votes of
snatching the prize from one of the most
popular candidates the republicans had it
in their :power to nominate.
For the first time in sixty years New
Csnaanwill have a representative in the
senate at Hartford. Mr. Benjamin P.
Mead is the Ironorcd gentleman, a repub—
lican,,who rejoices in having got there
with more than a hundred majority to
spare. Mr. Mead has already served in
this town in several offices, and represent-
ed it ably in the Assembly, and to every
position he has brought the calmness,
dignity and bearing of a gentlcnan under-
standing his business and proposing to
attend to it. He is 41 years of age, a suc-
cessful merchant, respected by all parties,
and a go'od square man.
Those having any business with the
First National Bank are familiar with the
tail figure and ruddy countenance of the
bookkeeper, Mr. Andrew Jones. He it is
whom the republicans send to Hartford to
represent us in the legislature. Mr. Jones
is a quiet man, but when he opens his
month he says something. He has already
been tried as town clerk fora good many
years. isaGrand Army man with scars,
and we all like him.
There was no disorderpn election day.
Of a total poll of 656, 613 votes were cast.
Mr. B. Purdy acted as moderator. The
prohibitionists voted their full strength,
31, for governor. Their rcpresetativc
ticket secured 21 votes, and their nominee
for the senate less than that. Some of the
prohibitionists scratched their representa-
tive, voting for the democratic nominee,
and quite a number went to democratic
headquarters to get returns.
Mr. H. B. Rogers, of the firm of H. B.
Rogers .17 Co., and Miss Edna Hoyt, eldest
daughter of Mr. Edwin Hoyt, of Stephen
Hoyt’s Sons, were married at the resi-
dence of the bride’s parents on Thursday
afternoon, at half-past four, by Rev. F. E.
Hopkins. The bride wore a complete
and beautiful bridal costume. There were
overahuudred guests in attendance, iii-
cludiug well known church and society
people of Norwalk. .The families of both
the contracting parties were also frilly
represented. A vury large number of
presents, expressive of the esteem in which
the bride and groom are held, and indica-
tive of the taste and culture of those who
presented them, were displayed. A boun-
tiful and beautiful collation was served,
after which Mr. Rogers and his beautiful
wife bade adieu for a wedding journey,
Air orchestra furnished CXCtIICHI music
throughout. the evenino. The ar'gapge »
uncut-s throughout were in perfect taste.
There was some little attempt at .blutf-
sing ion-election day, but, when it was dis-
covercdethhtitwlo can sometimes read as
we‘ll aszone, there was a subsidence.
Mr. Calvin .S. Brice must think New
Canaan a very important place. Tele-
grams bcaring his signature were dis-
played as early as 10 o’clock Tuesday
morning, declaring that New York was
all right. But, of'coursc,Bricc did this,
. and the best is too poor for us.
Republicans depended on the telephone
for election returns, and, as usual, they
found that one of the peculiarities of that
instrument is that you can get the least
out of it when you want it most.
Next Tuesday evening (it. will be last,
night when this is read) there is to be a
funeral at Raymond‘s Hall. Tire deceased
is the republican party, whose virtues will
be extolled, and whose vices will be held
up as a warning to future generations.
After which all will have a chance to
touch the beloved G. 0. P. and, presto i
see lrow much life there is in it even now.
Then there is to be a wake, and all of
every party are invited. Tables will be
spread and loaded bountifully, and a brass
band will do its level best. Tire Ameri-
can eagle will scream for Harrison, Mor-
ton and protection. Tire Press parrot will
shake its feathers, scratch its neck, but
catch the eagle’s eye, remember the 6th of
November, and swallow its chestnut.
Bonfircs will cast a lurid glare upon these
rural scenes, and we SIlliIl all feel young
again.

IN THE GREAT SHAFT.
RIDING TO THE TOP OF THE WASH-
INGTON MONUMENT.
Queer Sensations While Rising 550 Feet
in tho Alt—Scene from the Upper Land-
ing—Is the Elevator Snfe?—Tlre Shaft's
Movements.
At last word was given, the door was shut
wrth a bang, and the conductor, with a
glance around the car, pulled the hand cable
downward several times in succession. There
was a slight tremble or shake as the car was
lifted from the floor, and then the heads of
the watchman and the doorman and the
square doorway full of light seemed to slip
down, down, until they were lost. The car
moved noiselessly and smoothly as it slid up
the longest elevator shaft in the world. The
eye, turned instinctively upward, winked at
the immense vista, through which the strong,
stiff red cables—twins they looked like—spin
themselves up and over two great wheels in
the roof, 500 feet overhead. The light; from
the incandescent lamps filtered through the
grated roof and sides of the car, giving 0.
spotted. appearance to the passengers. On
either srde were the rough, uneven courses of
the old masonry, the stones rugged and the
seams zrgzagging without regard to uni-
formity.
. The car has passed through the old por-
tion of the shaft, and is running as smoothly
as at the start through the neat, exact ma-
sonry of the new work. The dark surface of
the granite is checkered with white squares,
the faces of marble blocks that extend en-
tirely through the walls acting as a. bond to
the masonry. The corners of the shaft in this
new portion are neatly rounded, instead of
being square, as below. At. every fifty feet
from the floor to the roof there is an elevator
landing, the floors of levels being extended
to meet the car, and guarded by a. high Int;
ticed gate. These occur on alternate sides,
and, the car having a. door in both the east;
and west; sides, exit fromthe car is thus pro-
vided in either direction. At 460 feet the
smooth walls are broken by the projection of
twelve buttresses, three on each .side. These
are the rib stones which support the roof of
the monument.
The light; from the incandescent carbon is
.by this time beginning to be dimmed bythat.
from the outside, drifting down from the
windows in the roof. The great wheels that.
have been devouring the cables seem to be
falling upon the car, and suddenly the con-
.dnctor gives a long upward pull on the
handrope, and the car comes to a stop in the
midst. of a sheet: iron cage. The air is chilly,
and as the passengers step timorously over
itho threshold they button their overcoats
.and turn up their collars.
A COLD, LONELY PLACE.
This upper landing is a. cold, lonely place,
the abutting ribstones cutting it up into an-
gular spaces, and the bare floors and shining
white walls tending to give it a lonesome
.uir. .On ea'ch side two oblong windows give’
views into the atmosphere and down upon
the flattened earth. The world looks bigger
than one thought it to be; it stretches away
on every hand to .a melting blue horizon
faintly outlined, with here and there a hill-
top mtruding its sharp point, as if in claim
of recognition as a part of the scene.
The spectators are awed, surprised, chilled
into silence, and they occasionally glance up-
ward at the maze of stones in the roof, the
converging arches, and the seemingly light,
any mode of construction, and then shudder
slightly and hin'ry into the car. Some take
03 their hats and put their heads through the
windows, exclaiming at: the dwarfed appear-
ance of the workmen on the mound below, _
and then, looking up toward the .ca
wondering at the multitude .of lightning ind ‘
points which cover each of the four triangles
of the roof.
At. last the conductor shouts for all to get
on the car who wish to go below, and the
visitors huddle themselves inside and the
down trip is begun. In about nine minutes the
passengers emerge from the shaft into the out-
side atmosphere and mentally congratulate
themselves upon their good luck in safely re<
turning to the earth. Then, glancing upward
along the face of the shaft, which seemsto be
falling over upon them, they shudder slightly
and go away to boast that they have been to
the top of the highest: artificial structure in
the world.
Is the elevator safe? has been asked hun-
dreds of timm during the past week. This
question is hard to answer, for almost all
elevators are a matter of some slight risk,
even under the most favorable circumstances.
Yet it; can be said with truth that the ele-
ment of danger has been eliminated from the
trip to and frbrn the top of the great shaft; as
far as human skill can go. The machinery
has stood the hardest tests for years without
a break. The cables have been tested to a
capacity of over ten tons, and the car and
and machinery fitted with the best of safety
appliances.
MOVEMENTS or run SHAFT.
Great care is taken to note the movements
of the shaft, for it does move. The law of
contraction and expansion of material by
heat and cold operates here as well as else-
where. When tho sun shines full on the
eastern face in the morning the stones on
that side expand and throw the shaft slightly
to the west. Then the sun goes around to
the south and the apex of the monument
makes acorresponding swing to the north.
As the orb creeps about the sky to its final
setting in the evening the glittering point on
pop of the monument makes a. contra move-
ment around half a circle, gradually settling
backto its normal podtionj after the rays of
the sun have lost: their power. This move.
meat; has never been calculated, but it is an.
doubledlfvegy slight; grie wind. too, has
an eflecl'é upon the structure. From the cen-
[ter of gravity of the shaft, located 174 feet
Imd 10 ipchesfrom the floor, is a cross beam,
from which is suspended a fine steel wire,
protected by a. galvanized iron tube about
four-inches in diametter. This hangs to the
floor at the northwest corner of the elevator-
well. At the bottom is a plumb bob Weigh-
g twenty-five pounds, suspended by means
of tho-wire, and hanging in water.
.An iron cylinder protects the instrument
from injury, and a. little iron house about
four feet: high keeps OR the draught.
Through the cylinder is a. telescopic eye
piece, in one end of which are two vertical
wires about one-quarter of an inch apart.
When a candle is held at: an opening in the
side of the box, and the eye is applied to the
outside end of the tube, the plumb line can
be seen—a. fine line between the vertical
marks. Any movement Lin the shaft is re-
corded by a corresponding movement in the
line. When the structure is at rest, and in
its normal position, the line hangs still, mid-
way between the others; but: when the shaft
is disturbed [by the action of the wind, it
sways back and forth like the pendulum of
a. clock, always coming to rest in the center.
This is observed every day, and if the custo-
dian should ever notice the line hanging still
at any point outside of the two cross lines,
he will then {know that: the monument has
been permanently moved from its level posi-
tion. Until then, however, no one need be
alarmed by the oscillations of the shaft from‘
the action [of the wind or the influence of'
the sun. —Washington Star.

The Climate of California.
To undertake to photograph the character-
istics of our population would be as futile as
to attempt to portray the geographical
features of the state, which compreheuds
within its boundaries a diversity of climate
and of scenery partaking of every continent
and every zone. It is only natural that
casual sightseers, with imperfect vision and
short perspective, should be guilt of egre-
gious errors. It; is the fable of the lind men
and the elephant; again repeated, the blind
man who touched the elephant’s tail declared
that; the great and mighty elephant, about
whichso much had been said, was nothing
more or less than a rope. The blind man
who ran against one of the gmfli bmte’s legs,
at once pronounced him to bd l‘. large tree of
the forest. The blind man -who lgasped his
head against the elephant’s side ened him
to a. wall; the one who touched‘his trunk
shrank from him in horror, as from a great
serpent.
So, in turn, has California been judged.
The visitor to the north or to her mountain-
ous regions complains of her Arctic cold.
Ono who encounters a week of warm weather
in the interior or coast; valleys declares her a.
region of torrid heat. The man who sees an
irrigating ditch assumes that: all her crops
are grown by irrigation. He who is drawn
into the whirl of a real estate boom judges
that; the whole state is for sale in parcels, and
in the hands of eager vendors. And our in-
habitants have fared 1):: better, having been
measured by a few of the most conspicuous
types encountered in our cities, or by self as-
sertive examples of western citizenship who
have gone abroad—San Francisco' Cor.
for: York Post.
A Strange Religious Penance.
While I was in San Salvador I saw a
strange sight in the street one feast day. A
man was undergoing penance by crawling
from one church to another. Both churches
were in the same street, and the distance be-
tween them was about half a. mile.
The man had on a white suit of light
underclothing and a. white cap was drawn
down over his face. He crawled—not on his
hands and knees—no; those who imposed
the penance knew a. trick worth two of that
-—ho crawled on his elbows and knees, and in
the middle of the street over the irregularly
laid jagged stones.
One or two women stayed with the man
and spread pieces of cloth to soften some-
what tho bar-dues of the road. What was
his sin I did not learn—Overland Monthly.
A Self magma?” “ '"'
It was a pithy compliment paid by a.
shrewd old Manchester man to one of these
shoddy aristocrats when‘ the latter boasted
that he was “self made": “lVecl, lad, if their
bets self made man, thou’st saved God A1-
mighty an nwfu’ dirty job.”-—New York
