Parallel.
An important meeting of the owners
and patrons of<the Parallel Railroad in—
terest, was held in Mayor Coolidge’s of <
flee on Friday last. There were present
President Stevenson, and Directors An-
drew B. Mygatt, Col, F. St. John Lock—
wood, and others of the New England
and Housatonlc saytems, with George R.
Cowles, E. K. Lockwood and others of
the Parallel interest, while Dr. Coolidge
represented the S. E. Olmstead estate in-
terest. Nothing of special interest to the
public transpired further than the re-
newed and pronounced pledge that the
building of the Parallel system is to be
commenced immediately and a double
track road built from the junction of the
Housatonie Derby branch at Botsford
down through the northwestern part of
the city of Bridgeport to a junction with
the Daubury & Norwalk in the line of the
old survey in the rear of our Union school
building. This line, President Stevenson
says, Wlii be built and cars running with-
in two years, and thus an important con-
nectiou made with the Wilson’s Point
steamer route to New York.

The Governor's Menace.
The salient points of Gov. Buikeley’s in-
augural message, briefly put,‘are as follows:
The finances of the state are in a most
satisfactory condition; the grand list is
$352,795,926.00, an increase of more than
$3,000,000 over last year; the estimated
receipts for the next two years are $3,531,-
300, estimated appropriations $2,233,796,
estimates based on a state tax reduced to
one mill‘; the school fund is $2,019,572.40,
judiciously invested; the state has 154,932
children of “school age”; the state militia
numbers 177 officers and 2,374 enlisted
men, and the brigade is not excelled in
drill, discipline and general equipment, by
any other state; state hospital for insane
had, in June last, 1,292 patients, and the
governor disapproves the policy of in-
creasing tho numbers under one super-
vision, and urges that steps be taken to
provide additional room; nearly 200 vet-
erans are now at Fitch’s Soldiers’ Home
at Noroton, and the buildings and grounds
are being rapidly improved; the state
prison improvements are substantially
completed, but the present workshops,
over fifty years old, should be replaced
with new ones; number of inmates at the
reform school at last report, 427, and it is
suggested that provision be made for the
education of the boys in some useful
trade, which would require no appropri-
ation, but it is urged that the money re-
ceived for land damages, ($8,000), be
returned to the trustees for refitting the
main building for such a use; number of
inmates of,the industrial school for girls
at last report, 212; recommends a mod-
erateincrease in the number of superior
"NM judges, or constitutional amend-
mp6wering the executive to fill
ins occurring during legislative
subject to confirmation by Assem-
Qts next session; recommends pen-
{I supreme court judges who retire
';on of the age limit or disability;
mends the creation of oflice of
's’y—gencral; recommends the enact-
f a law for a secret ballot that shall
mple in its character, and at the
aimc effective in its operation";
.aends modification of the registra-
..=.vs, and personal registration in
vowns and Cities. 0f the rag'lroad
{overnor says:
a railroads of the state are largely
Latrated, either by ownership or long
.in the New York, New Haven &
iord and New York & New England
innies, and represent an aggregate
tal stock of $63,213,608.84, and a
ind and other indebtedness of $36,-
-7.02. The number of miles of road

e in their connection with other sys-
highways of communication for the
1 country. You will be called upon

'iently determine the policy of the

ion of the capital and management

:is in this direction as may, in your
u, be properly granted should be
.saded by such wise provisions of
,.;I limitations of power as will give
gtc protection to the people, and
,. 1c the corporations themselves from
The growing prejudices and jealousies
created by large aggregated capital.
The message is non-committal on the
grade crossing question, but implies ap-
proval of the plan of “concession and
compromise between the varied interests”;
number of savings banks under super—
vision of state bank commissioners, .85,
with deposits of $105,850,078.95 and ag-
gregate assets of $111,816,975.59, number
of depositors, 287,776; the right to dis-
criminatc in rates of interest between large
and small depositors, now discretionary,
should be made compulsory, and special
savings bank deposits subject to check at
sight should be forbidden by law; the
death rate the past year was between
seventeen and eighteen per 1,000 inhabi-
tants; number of births 16,583, deaths
12.395; recommends state survey.

Growth of Norwalk.
All concede that the great number of
new houses erected in different parts of
Norwalk the past year has been something
phenomenal. Especially has the rapid
growth of East Norwalk and the Benedict
Farm district been very remarkable. Our
lumbermen and builders all say that the
prospect for next season is fully as ea-
couraging for the erection of as many if
not even a greater number of new houses
than were erected during 1888. Well,
why shouldn’t our town grow? Nature
' has done everything for us.

Dividend.
The president and directors of the Uri-
ion Manufacturing Company surprised and
delighted their stockholders by declaring
a holiday dividend of three per cent.
This is the first dividend since May 1,
1881 and it is quite a feather in the cap of
the new management.
This is the Oourant’s happy way of

Obituary.
Two noted sons of Westport passed be.
yond life’s sunset last week. Due,notice
of their respective virtues and character-
istics is gIVen by our Wesport correspond-
out.
Mr. Marvin and Mr. Taylor, were men
of eminent virtues and attainments, and
died respected and lamented by all who
knew them. More than fifty years ago
Mr. Taylor was a plain country black-
smith working in a little shop under the
large elm trees standing by the roadside
in front of the old Nash place,a little
south—west of the Marvin place, on the
road to Westport. Here he worked with
his father till he went into the employ of
the Hoes, printing press builders of New
York. Here Mr. T. found ample play for
his rare mechanical and inventive genius
and graduating from thence, commenced
the business of press making on his own
account, and some of the most valuable
features of the modern cylinder presses
were his inventions, and his name and
fame as a press builder has extended
throughout the civilized world. The
great cylinder press on which the GAZETTE
is now printed (the largest, with one ex.
ception we believe, in use in Fairfield
county) is an embodimentIof all of Mr.
Taylor’s latest improvements. It is alone
to mankind when two such men “fall on
sleep."
Dr. Thomas B. Gunning, the eminent
dentist, died at his home at Staten
Island last Monday. He some forty years
since, married Miss Louisa Jessup of
Wilton, a sister of Mrs. James Reed, whose
husband was so long an owner of the
GAZETTE. There parents were the father
and mother of the two Gunnings who
have recently filled so large a spare in the
public mind of this vicinity. Dr. G. pre—
pared tho mechanical device which saved
the life of Secretary Seward, at the time
his jaws were broken in a runaway acci-
dent in Washington, and from which he
was lying ill, at the time when Paine at—
tempted to assassinate him.
In the death of T. L. White journalism
loses one of its best and brightest orna-
ments. Mr. W. was long chief of the N.
Y. Tribune’s Washington bureau, and
later editor-in-chief of the Providence Press
From there he came to Norwalk and
sought a partnership in the GAZETTE, brrt
failing health resulted in a non—accom—
plishment of his desires in this respect.
His latest work was done on the Philadel-
phia Press. Peace to his ashes.
Rev. Mr. Weelock Nye Harvey, who
some years since was pastor of the Con—
gregationnl church at Wilton, died at
Gildersleeve, in this state, 'on the 8th inst..
of apoplexy, in the 64th year of his age.
Steven Swann, who several years since,
carried on the saddlery’zand harness busi—
ness here, and who was in t0wn Christ—
mas in full health and his usual bouyant
spirits, died in New York on Thursday in
the 65th year of his ago. His remains
were brought to Nerwalk for interment.

Our Law Makers.
From the Hartford Post‘s legislative
supplement we clip the following sketches
of representatives in this vicinity :
SENATORS. Dist. No.13.—Hon.Lyinnu
S. Catlin, republican senator from the,
Thirteenth district-,rcsidcs in Stratford arid

academic education. He has filled sev—
eral town offices with credit to himself,
and to the satisfaction of his fellow towns-
men. He represented Stratford in the
legislative session of 1881, serving as
member of the school fund committee,
and again in the house of 1883, where his
clear preceptions had mrich to do with the
dispatching of business. He is at the
present time clerk and treasurer of the
school district, and treasurer of the
Mechanics’ and Farmers’ Savings bank,

Our Washinfrton Letter. r
Wksimreroa, D. 0.. Jan. 14, 1889.
The most‘astute politicians are still puz-
zled over over the Cabinet problem, and
the character of the probable persons who
will compose it is being discussed more
freely than heretofore. The friends of
General lllahone are earnestly at work,
and feel sure that if an ex~Confederate is
selected, he will be the man. He is sup—
ported by very nearly every ex Confeder—
ate who has affiliated with the'Repuhlican
party and many of the truest and best of
the old time Republicans.
Quite a ripple is created on the surface
over the question of the pardon of General
Swaim. ,It has generally been conceded
that his punishment is greater than his
offense called for, and his friends—par—
ticularly those from Ohio—have asked for
his pardon. It now leaks out that it has
been fixed up by‘thoso who manipulate
affairs to have General Swaim pardoned
and placed on the retired list,and then for
the President to nominate to the Senate,
“mental, moral and physical wreck" Gen-
eral John C. Black, present Commissioner
of Pensions, as Judge Advocate-General
of the Army. Old'regular Army ofilcers
look upon this as an outrage upon them,
and insist that one of their number shall
be selected. They calinot see why Black
should be selected from éivil life and
placed over them, unless it is to soothe his
feelings for ,his defeat as a Vice-Presiden-
tial candidate. They thinklie has been
honored enough for; having turned from
the Republican to the Democratic party.
He draws. a pension of $100 a month, $6,-
000 a year as Commissioner of Pensions,
and holds an ofilcc in connection with the
Soldiers’ Homes. This is It nice little
scheme to provide forvlrim for life. Will
it succeed? is a question asked by a great
many to-day. ‘

There is a revival to Eday of the Inlk of

Perplexities of the Telephone-I
From the dawn of the day of creation,
down to a very few years ago, the world
aboriginal way, and eke out a miserable
existence without the telephone. But it
couldn’t do it again. Thetelephoue is
one of the most indispensable of modern
conveniences. When it is feeling Well it
is a blessing, a benediction, a something
to be worshiped. When it has a cranky
streak on it is a curse, a hunibugwa some-
thing to be sworn at. The telephonejsa
sensitive animul,und can be governed only
by kindness. When it is in good spiritsit
will answer a civil question promptly,
cheerfully and distinctly, butzi‘vhen it has
the ear-ache, or feels blue or cross. no
amount of persuasion can coax it into
civility or politeness. And at times of
extreme stubbornness it can only be
shamed into submission by taking its in-
wards out. exposing them to the vulgar
gaze and chastening them in the broad
glare of heaven‘s golden sunshine. It is a
creature of “spells" and moods, and some-
times, while carrying on the most friendly
conversation in which nothing brrt
the best of feeling and good will is
expressed, it will suddenly get mad at
some innocent remark that *
offense at all, and f“ ' '

has a wonderful faculty for superinducing
profanity and annihilating prrticncefland
the prospect of a crown and Iiarp beyond
the shining river. It is a joy and comfort
when it will, and a delusion and a
snare when it won’t. A few days ago
the bell of the telephone in this office
rang. A scribe sprang to the instrument
and answered the call in his checriest
tone. when the following interesting
dialogue took place between the scribe
and the voice at the other end of the line:
Scribe—Hello !
Voice—Hello !
S.~5Well, hello!
V.-Hello!

the villian still pursues her, and you’re a
—— fool. If there’s anything in this
budget of facts that will satisfy your un-
speakable cravin for information, you're
welcome to it. 0 you understand now ?
But in the same smooth, iinrnffled voice
the familiar refrain came back with an
expression of feeling and an inflection of
inquiry:
“Hell-3’
. “Go there!” snapped the disgusted
scribe as he hung up the ’phonc and ab-
ruptly cut the word in two. Ile remained
in ignorance of the intended message un -
til the ncxtday when he received a note
from Bridgeport, in which the following
impassioned sentiment occurred :
”I’d like to know what driveling, drool-
ing, mutton—headed idiot in your office
answered my telephoncncall, yesterday,
when I tried to tell you there was a Nor—
walk man over here in the jug with a jag
on, who undertook to drown his disap—
pointment over getting left because he
didn‘t know the midnight Washington
express had been taken off.”
The telephone has been dissected and
an autopsy revealed the whole conversa—
tion clogged up in the intestines of the
aggravating thing. However, it’s all
right now—Record. ,

AGAINST THE SALOON.
The MAIL AND EXPRESS is the reco’anizea
National organ of the great Anti-Saloon Re-
publican movement. It believes that the
liquor traffic as it exists to-duy In the United
States is the enemy of society, a. fruitful
source of corruption in politics, the ally of an-
archy, a school of crime, and, with its avowed
purpose of seeking to corruptly control
elections and legislation, is a menace to
the public welfare and deserves the condemna-
tion of all good men.

SERVING THE PEOPLE.
The Springfield Republican
Tire Leading Journal of New England.
Established in 1824 by Samuel Bowles.
lM'ElV EIIAIIBED All IMPROVED.
The year 1888 has marked notable events In the
history of The Springfield Republican. A new
bulldiiig adinlrahly arranged for the large and
growing business of the paper has been erected
and occupied. It stands on one of the most desir-
able coruers in Springfield and Is the property of
The Republican comphny. The paper has also
been enlarged by the addition of eight columns to
its quarto sheet, making its regular size 60. col-
umns. These Improvements afford The Republi-
can bettcr facilities than it has ever before possess-
ed for the performance of thework of a. great mod-
ern newspaper and the fulfillment of its duties to
large and intelligent constituency whom it serves.
The Republican considers it to be the first of-
fice of a newspaper to print the news fairly, fully,
lntelllgently and without prejudice. This it un-
dertakes to do every day In the year, givmg spec-
lal attention and extended space to the local news
of Western Massachusetts, northern Connecticut
and Southern Vermont and New Hampshire. Its
organization of reporters and correspondents for
collecting the news In the territory described is
wonderfully complete, and the thoroughness and
promptness of its servrce is unrivaled. In Boston
and Washington The Republican employs trained
journalists as its regular correspondents to an
lement the news of the Associated Press, and II
New York, Albany and other important centers It
commands the aid of well-equi ped special corre—'
spondents whenever occasion emands. . ,
In the treatment of political and social questions
The Republican is thoroughly Independent. It
stands up always for the real interest of the peo-
ple as against monopoly. corruption, coercion, de-
ception and every form of demagoglsm. 1t- counts
the welfare of the country as of more consequence
every time than the success of any party. It seeks
to be broad-minded, generous fair and good-tem-
pered in Its discussion of public affairs, and to rep-
resent always the true American spirit. The Be-
publican devotes liberal attention to literature, to
science, ito education, to all social and economical
questions, Besides giving Its readers “ All the
news and the truth about it," this paper offers
them daily an abundance of excellent miscellan-
eous reading, instructive, entertaining and inter-
esting. '
THE SUNDAY REPUBLICAN.
Is prepared with special pains to meet the needs
and taste of the New England public, It presents
the news, local and general, in readable and at-
tractive form. It always contains a pleasing orig-
inal story or sketch 8. good semen, a depart-
ment for children, the latest news from the thea-
tres and of out door sports, a literary column, In-
teresting home and foreign correspondence, a full
editotlal page covering a Wide range of live topics
local sketches, original poetry, etc. It is a whole-
some, newsy and interesting journal well suited
to the day of rest. . .
THE WEEKLY REPUBLICAN.
Has often been called the best review of American
life anywhere published; It Is carefully edited and
gives all the Important news and discussion of the
week In compact and well arranged order. It con-
tains also several pages of general reading, em-
bracing the best storles, correspondence, sketches
and special articles that have appeared in the daily
and Sunda edItIons. The recent increase by eight
columns 0 Its size, allows the addltlon of much
valuable and entertaining matter and makes The
Weekly Republican more than ever a model fam-
ily journal.

culation Is by far the largest of any daily in New
England out of Boston, wah the exception of an
evening paper In Rhode Island, and it is read by
all classes.
