NO R WALK__GA ZETTE. WEDNESDAY; "DEéEMB-E R
The entertainment by Leland T. Powers
in the Y. M. C. A. Hall, last Wednesday
evening. comprising character selections
from David Copperfield, was one of the
best. and most enjoyable evenings of
amusement yet given under the auspices
of the association, and was well attended.
It is practically settled that a portion of
the increased capital stock of the Housn-
tonic road will be expended in double
trackingzthe Danbury A: Norwalk division.
Thelwork will be begun in the early
spring and vigorously pushed to comple-
tion. This move is deemed imperativcly
necessary on account of the enormous
freight traffic over the line, which is in:-
creasing largely month by month.
Miss Ella Belts, the obliging little lady
in the Central Telephone office, who
answers your ring with a cheery and mu—
sical “hello—o-o," was surprised the other
day when, on answering a rather sharp
and abrupt ring, a magnificent lady’s gold
watch camc whizzing over the wire and
through the transmitter and dropped out
onto the table in front of her and immedi-
ately struck “Merry Christmas!” It was
shivering with the cold, and was supposed
to have just come from Santa Cluus’s
North Pole ice cave by way of Wilson’s
Point.
On Tuesday, a young Litchfield couple
on their way to the parson's to be married
were confronted by a torrent so deep and
swrft that their horse could not be induced
to attempt the passage. But the hardy,
long—legged groom was not to be daunted
or turned from his purpose. Leaving his
team in charge of friends he took his
blushing bride-elect on his broad back,

reached the other side in safety, when the
happy pair. hand in hand, continued their
journey as though nothing unusual had
occurred.
scholar, Gcn.Francis A. Walker, to de-
Iivcr a memorial address on Gen. Sheridan.
and the selection proved an eminently
wise one. Gen. Walker’s address is one
of the Very choicest contributions to mod-
crn military literature. He gives Sheridan
:1 high placc,—not simply as a daring
cavalry leader, nor as the able Chieftain
of an army corps, but asa great com-
mander,—as a man who had the genius to
handle whole armies, tight whole battles
and pluzi whole campaigns. IIe places
Sheridan beside Grant. and Sherman, as
one of the three most conspicuous figures
in the great. civil war.
Tire facts concerning the coming of
Tlros. B. Grinning, Jr., to this city Tues-
day are: He came here on the 2 o‘clock
p. in. train from New York to execute a
voluntary assiminent of his property for
the benefit of his creditors. The assign
ment was prupnred and cxccutedin the
office of his counsel, Russell Frost. Aft-
er this was dqu' and while Mr. Gunning
was awaiting for the 4:48 train for New
York, Constable Darin came in with pa-
pers requiring Mr. Gunning to give sure—
ties of the peace; papers that had been
sworn out by Mrs. Gunning more than a
month before. As soon as Constable
Dana made known his business, Captain
Frost sent. for Justice C. B. Coolidge who
fixed the bond to keep the peace at $200.
Captain Frost became surety with Mr.
Gunning who returned to New York on
the 4:48 train, as he had intended. He did
not go to, or from, New Haven as report

At the annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the flousatonie Railroad company,
held in their office in Bridgeport, Monday,
the following Board of Directors were
elected: W. H. Star-buck, New York:
W. H. Stevenson, Bridgeport; John L.
Macaulay, New York; Thomas Rutter,
New York; Henry Hentz, New York;
William H. Barnum, Lime Rock; A. B.
Mygatt, New Milford; S. E. Merwin,
New Haven; W. E. Downes, Birming-
ham. At a subsequent meeting of the Di-
rectors the following ofiicers were elected:
President, W. H. Staibuck, of New
York ; Vice-President and General Man-
ager, W. II. Stevenson; Secretary and
Treasurer, M. E. Stone; Assistant Secre-
tary, Andrew J .-Portcr; Assistant Treas-
urer, C. E. Robinson. Tire annual report
was also submitted.
Owing to the burning of the transport
steamer Maryland that took the through
sleepers from Boston to Washington, an
arrangement is made to run this train
over the New England road to Newburgh,
and thence to the Pennsylvania depot at
Jersey City. This is the way the Danbury
News man gets excited over Danbury’s
share in this latest glory shed upon that
thriving borough :
Danbury has never enjoyed a passenger
train with sleeping cars, but delightful
experience must commence next Sunday.
How appropriate the day. Ilow harmoni-
ous the association.
Sleep—Sunday ! Sunday—sleep!
There is something very beautiful in the
coincidence.
As told in another column the train will
arrive in Danbury at 11.45 night. The
Danburian can then get into a sleeping
car in his enterprising town for the first
time in his life.
He will take off his coat in Danbury,
remove his vest at the Fair Grounds, pull
off his brooches in Mill Plain, and draw
his shirt over his head in Brewstcr ! How
wonderful ! How grand !
The logo number of bills, some of them
of a bencficicnt nature which part of ac-
tions in legislative bodies, present a prob—
km of some magnitude. The great crash
of dementedlcgislatures results in clog—
gihg the wheels of parliamentary progress
and not as much legislation, nor as good
legislation as might be, is passed. Ex-
Spcaker Ilusted of the New York assembly
who is recognized as a remarkably able
parliamentarian, has prepared a measure
looking to a reform in legislative pro—
eedurc which will alleviate, if not remove
this pressure. Among other things, Ire
suggests the doing away with the intro-
duction of bills in itrrn on fire roll. He
would have them deposited in a box for
delivery to the speaker, who should de—
termine to what committees they should
go. Bills enacting or amending general
law he would have sent first to a. com-
mittee on legislation for examination as
to their constitutionality and desirability.
If not passed on favorably here they
would he dropped at once, otherwise they
would go to the committee on general
laws. Private bills would be sent with—
out loss of time to the proper committees.
General Hustcd would also do away with
the engrossing of bills.
Tire South Norwalk post mastership
squabble still hangs tire, and the suspense
of tire aspirants grows painful, as the
suspicion gains ground that possibly no
appointment will be made until the Harri-
son :ulministration comes in, when of
course the prospects of the democratic
candidates will vanish in thin air. Post
master Dunning’s time has expired and
he holds the office, in a state of delightful
uncertainty. pending the patching up of
the democratic breaches resulting from
the dogged persistency of the supporters
of Suyderand .Wilcox respectively, who
have succeeded in apparently placing cx-
Suurtor Barnum and Congressman Gran-
gcr in tire attitude of opponents. Cou-
grcssmun Granger is said to have recom-
mended Mr. Snyder for appointment,
while it is avcrrcd that some sort of word
dropped by Mr. Barnum some time ago
implied a promise to back Wilcox for the
office. Tire delay of final action in the mat-
.Ier is a source of annoyance to the friends
of both candidates as seeming to give
color to the fear that it mesns a “hold.
over" for Dunning as acompromise 1c-
ween Messrs. Granger and Barnum.
“confirm: the candidates pursue the even
error of the ways attributed to them by
\lr. Byington: Wilcox goes to church
with unabated regularity, and Snyder’s
-njoyment ofa social game of whist. or
cribbagc is as intense as ever. At the
present time Postmaster Dunning is
"cock of the roost" with a reasonable
prospect of securing u reupporutment

Charles F. Doty, a republican brother. in

On Friday evening The Gormans’ Spcc~
tacular (formerly Haverly‘s) Minstrels
will appear at the Opera House. That
the seating capacity will be prrt to its
test there can be no doubt. MinstrcIsy
has a great hold upon our amusement
lovers, and when presented by such a
clever organization as the Gormaus it
can not fail to draw largely from the re-
fined and cultured. Tire Omaha World
says:
“Gormans’ Minstrels played to a full
house last night at Boyd's. They are
rather above the average minstrel troupe
and introduced many new and enjoyable
innovations in minstrelsy. Thc jokes
were fresh and crisp, the singing was
good and the afterpiece fill] of comical
Situations. They Will close Io-nighi."
Franklin is said to have a species of
apple tree with a tradition. The original
was planted iii 1099 by Micah llood, who
was in early life a prosperous farmer, but.
who degenerated into indolent ways and
spent most of his time beneath the tree he
had planted. One summer a pcddlcr was
murdered, and the following autumn
every apple in the tree contained a red
glohule that resembled a drop of blood.
The people of Franklin came generally to
the conclusion that the peddlcr had been
murdered beneath the apple tree by Rood.
He died, however, wit-bout any other evi—
dence than the suspicion to darken his
name. The peculiarities of the tree have
been handed down, however, into other
trees, and the legend of the murdered
peddlcr has lived with them.
Christmas presents don‘t grow on
bushes, and some of them come pretty
high in price. Consequently the manor

large circle of friends and relatives to buy

whether he needs them or not. Slippers
are the proper caper, and have been on
lists of Christmas presents ever since the
flood. Cologne comes next to slippers

Good Housekeeping for December 22 is a
Christmas number, and it is full of joyful
Christmas cheer. Helen Chase has a poem,
“Christmas Chimes,” with a very happy
ring and illustrated With a unique and
pertinent. design. A Christmas story
“Hunting for Myths on Christmas Eve and
Finding aRcaI Presence,” is a very charm-

spirit of good will. Martha B. Tausig tells
how to make all sorts of Christmas good-
ies. and directions for another sort of
Christmas dainties are furnished by Re-
beccn Cameron. There is a full page of
fine original Christmas poetry, and a gen-
crorrs quantity beside is scattered through
the number. Chapters on Christmas gifts,
what to make and how to make them, are
supplied by Isabel Gordon and Annie

of ancient and foreign Christmas customs.
All: these in addition to a full allowance
of the valuable general matter relating to
the economic househceping for which
Good House/leaping has become famous. It
is a rich number and one not to be missed.
By the change in the time table of the
New England railroad, to go into effect
tomorrow, the Washington express will
leave Boston at 6 p. m., instead of 7,
reaching Washington at 10:45 a. m.; rc-
turning leave Washington at 2 p. m. and
reach Boston at 8 a. m.; through Pullman

“This will furnish a later train for Water-
bury and Danbury than ever before, and if
the experiment works well, it will be an
excellent train to all southern cities, as
the short transfer at Fishkill will be unai-
tended with the dangers and discomforts
of that around New York. Thctrain will
stop at New Britain going both ways.
and will prove a great convenience to
residents of that city.” The 11:30 p. in.

Littel’s Living Age for 1889. During the
forty-five years of its existence this sterling
weekly magazine has steadily irmintained its
high standard. It is a thoroughly satisfac—
tory compilation ofthe most valuable litera-
ture of the day, and such as is unrivalled.
As periodicals of all sorts continue to multi
ply, this magazine continues to increase in
value; and ‘it' has become quite indispensable
to the American reader. By its aid alone
Ire can, with an economy of time, labor, and
money otherwise inpracticable, keep well
abreast with the Iitmtry and scientific pro-
gress of the age, and With the work of the
ablost living writers. It is the most com-
prehensive of magazines, and its prospectus
for 1889 is well worth the attention of all
who are selecting their reading matter for
the new year. Reduced clubbing rates
with other periodicals are given, and to new
subscribers remmitting now for the year
1889 the interviewing numbers are sent
gratis. Little A’ (10., Boston, are the pub-
Iishers.
There should be a large aItcndnnco at
the Opera House on Thursday evening of
next week to witness ti o presettation of
“Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,“ the first at—
traction given by the new management of
the Opera House, Geo. F. Quintard &.
Son. Tire iiiitinl performance should re-
ceive the hearty support of the public.
Of the great play to be presented, the
Rochester Herald says :
“The dual role of Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde was assumed by Dore
Davidson and presented in a manner
that has never been equalled since the
dramatization of the work. His parts are
difficult in the extreme, yet he carries
them through with a vividncss, which,
considering the entirely opposite forces
which are brought into play to depict
these two dissimilar parts, is truly mar-
velous. The changes from one individual
to the other in distinct view of the audi-
ence is certainly a splendid display of
artistic proficiency. Miss Ramie Austen
as Winifred gives the best presentation of
this character yet attempted. Possessing
a beauty of face and form, she uses these
charming gifts to perfection, receiving
applause for her admirable acting. The
supporting company on the whole was
very good,each artist sustaining his or
her part with favor.”
Mr. Eugene Osborne, of Michigan, vis—
ited his brother, J. Arthur Osborne, in
Norwalk last Week. He is in this part of
the country on legal business which re—
quired him to see cx-Senator Wm. H.
Barnum, the democratic chieftaiu at Lime
Rock, who has been critically ill for near-
Iy two months. On calling at Mr. Bar—
num’sresidchc lie was told by Mrs. ll.
that her husband was too sick to see
anybody. Mrs. B. however, at. Mr. ()5-
bornc’s request, took his card to the sick
man, who was in bed in the room adjou-
ing the one in which the visitor waited,
and the latter eould plainly hear the cou-
versatiori that took place. When Mr.
Barnum read the curd he said to his wife:
“Let him in.“
“But, William,” gently rcmonstrntcd
the prudent wife. “you know the doctors
said you must keep perfectly quiet and
see nobody.”
“ch, yes," impatiently replied the it.-
valid, who on two different occasions
previously had read his own obituary in
the papers, "Yes, yes, I know all about
what the doctors said. They’ve said a
good many things that didn‘t amount to
anything. They said a month ago that I
cotildn’tliVe, but by ——l I‘m here yet,
and I‘m going to stay a while longer. too.
Show Osborne in.”
And Osborne was shown in and talked
business with Mr Barnum for an hour,
leaving him apparently no more fatigued
than at the beginning of the inttrvicw.
They do say, however, that while there is
hardly any doubt of Mr. Burnum‘s ulti~-
mate recovery, his convalesccnce is inn
peded to a certain extent by his per-
sistence in seeing visitors

Wasmxo'rox, Dec. 21,—Tlie house and
senate agreed to an adjournment of congress
from to-day to Jan. 2. Morning found the
Republicans astlr early. and at 10 o‘clock
Senators Sherman and Merrill were listening
to the overtures of Senator Harris, who, in
the absence of Senator Vest, alone repre-
sented the Democratic caucus. The Repub-
licans insisted that a recess until Jan. 7 was
too long, and the result was that Mr. Harris
gave way and agreed to be satisfied with as
much holiday fun as could be jammed into
the period between this evening and the
morning of Jan. 2. There is some dissatis-
faction among Democrats who were not
present and some who were present at: the
caucus. They look upon the agreement to
take a vote on the term bill Jan. 21 as a. sur-
render of a certain power over the Republi-
can senators. They have felt that salon;
in they had the power to filibuster and
prevent consideration of the bill they could
do much as they pleased with that and other
legislation. However, the leaders of the
party are satisfied that they made a fair
compromise.
SENATE AND nousx.
The senate agreed to a resolution for the
adjournment of congress from Doc. 21 to
Jan. 2. The discussion of the tarlfl bill ‘Ins
continued.
A conference was ordered on the direct

Merrill were appointed conferses on the part
of the mate. Later Mr. Vance withdrew,
and Mr. Butler was appointed in his place.
By unanimous consent it was agreed that
toting on the terifl bill and amendments
shall begin at 1 o'clock p. in. Jan. 21.
In the senate Mr. Sherman introduced.

CONGRESSIONAL DIARY.
Summary of the Week’s Business of the
Senate and House.
Wasarxo'rox, Dec. '22.—Animated discus-
sion of the tariff bill prevailed in the senate
Friday. The Nicarauguan canal bill was re-
ported to the house from the committee of
the whole, and the house adjourned over the

. to the state of. Oregon for militia purposes.
In the house a resolution for a holiday recess
was agreed to,‘aud it was agreed to make
the South Dakota bill a special order for
Tuesday and succeeding days.
There was a lively political tilt in the house
Tuesday over a motion to amend the legisla-
tive appropriation bill by increasing the cleri-
cal fez-co of the civil service co ‘ on.
Much bitter criticism of tboelection methods
of the two parties was ludulged in. The Isn-
sts spent a good portion of the day’s senior:
discussing the proposition to hold evening
sessions, but; without action.
The senate Wednesday continued thodis-
cussion of the tarlfl bill. The house began

Tur- SUN believes that the campaign for the elec
tIon of a Democratic Congress in 1890 and a Dem-
ocratic President In 1892 should begin on or about
the fourth of next March. THE SUN will be on
hand at the beginning and until the end of the
most interesting and important political conflict
since the war, doing its honest utmost, as ever, to
secure the triumph of the Democratic party and
the permanent supremacy of the principles held
by Jefferson, Jackson and Tilden.
The great fact of the year is the return to abso-
lute power of the common enemy of all good Dem-
crats—the political organization for whose over-
throw The Sun fought at the front for fifteen
years, the memorable years of Grant and the Fraud
Hayes, and Garfield and Arthur.
It is the same old enemy that Democrats now
confront, and he will be intrenched In the same
strong position. It. has been carried once by brave
and hopeful fighting. Do you not believe with The
Sun'that the thing can he done again? Wait and
see.
