The court of burgesses will hold another
adjourned meeting next Monday evening,
when, among 'other business to be tran-
sacted, the police appointments will be
made. At the meeting held Monday
evening the only business of importance
done, was the formulation of the call for
the Special borough meeting in the town
house on Wednesday of next week.
C. E. Olds, the well—known agent of the
Housatonic railway at. Wilson Point, met
with a singular accident-at that place on
Wednesday afternoon. He has a large
bull dog with which he was playing
around the company’s wharf, and in try—
ing to push the dog into the water went
overboard himself. The writer was freez-
ing cold, and the employees who ran to
his aid, knowing that he was a good
swimmer, pulled the dog out first. Mr.
Olds was thoroughly chilled by the time
he regained the wharf.—;-—Donbury News.

Miss Susie Cooney, the popular organist
at St. Rose’s church, was given an agree-
able surprise after the 10.30 mass yester.
day, when John Connelly, in behalf of the

ring, as a token of their esteem and
appreciation of her work. Miss Cooncy
responded feclingly, expressing her grati-
tude in a most earnest manner.—Mcriden

Miss C. is a Norwalk girl highly accom-
plished in music, and is the daughter of
Mr. Thomas Cooncy, of Harbor ave.
Tire venerable Mrs. Jonathan Camp was
in this office last. week to renew her
subscription in the Gamma for 1889
There was this remarkable fact attending
the incident, she could not recall the
exact time she and her husband first sub-
scribed, but she knew it was more than
sixty years ago. Mrs. Camp is now prob-
ably the oldest consecutivo subscriber
living. The late Hezekiah Scott, of Ridge-
field, took it from the first nrimbcr in 1800
to the date of his death.
A certain Norwalk Irishman has a sick
child who requires constant nursing and
is given its medicine once an hour. The
other day as the father was at his work
with the shovel and pick, one of his little
girls came running to him from the house
and told him the clock had run down and
refused to go, and her niollrer wanted
him to “send his watch to the house so
she could tell just when to give the baby
its medicine.” Pat leaned on his shovel
and with an air of impatience and disgust,
replied: “Now fot the civil does she
want the watch for? Share it says plain
enough on the bottle, ‘a tayshpoorrfulonce

The firstlbill offered in the state senate
was introduced by Senator Cleveland pro-
viding for a secret ballot. It provides for
envelopes not less than three inches by
five, to be of uniform color, etc. Suitable
rooms are to be provided. Electors are
to be furnished with one of each of the
ballots that are before the people and they
are to enter a certain room and there prit
their ballots into the envelope. No voter
can stay over three minutes in the room.
Provision is made for checking off votes
by count of envelopes and voters. Coun—
terfeiting and marking envelopes is prin—
ishablc by fine and imprisonment.
The Conn. Real Estate Record has this
concerning building in Norwalk:
F. 1‘. Hyatt has the foundation laid for
a $5000 frame house on Maple street. In
South Norwalk, W S. Knapp, the archi-
tect, says that the Old Well Cigar company
will go ahead with their large block in the
spring. The foundations are already laid.
R. H. Rowen is also contemplating erect—
ing a four-story:brick block on the adjoin-
ing lot.
W. S. Knapp has also made plans for
the following; A $4,000 frame house on
Isaac place, Norwalk, slate roof, finished
in natural woods. for D. N. Couch; not
let. Two houses on the same street for
Mrs. E. P. Weed, costing $2000 and $3000;
builder, Charles Reynolds. A $4000
double house on West street, South Nor-—
walk, for Wm. H. Smith; not let.
Chief Lockwood on Friday went up to
Wilton and arrested three young men
suspected of having committed the recent
thieverics in that place. They were two
young men named Fowler, and William G
Dunn, and their trial is now going on in
Wilton, the prisoners having been confined
in the Norwalk lockup until this (Tuesday)
morning. Another of the suspected
thieves, an old offender named John
Totten, was subsequently arrested and
taken to the Ridgefield lockup, whence on
Sunday evening he made his escape by
prying off the door with an axe and piece
of timber, which must have been furn-
ished him by confederates. Totteu is a
desperate character and has “done time”
in prison. .
A petition is being zealously circulated,
to be presented to President-elect Harri-
son, praying tliat. Carmi Hubbcll be ap-
pointed postmaster at Norwalk. From
the drift of the random remarks dropped
by the advocates of "a change,” it is gath
cred that a strenuous effort will be made
to have Postmaster Golding removed “for
cause.” To that end all the clerical mis—
takes, delays, misplaced letters, etc. that
can be traced to anybody in or slit of the
office, or to their relations, are carefully
recorded and will be submitted as “cause"
for Mr. Golding’s removal. Mr. Hubbell’s
champions are the first in the field with
petitions, although there are said to be
other candidates for thc ofllce. Gen.
Olmstcad, the late postmaster, would
probably not object to a rc-appointmeni
to the office, to which he was appointed
by Abraham Lincoln, and his friends may
take up his cause and make it lively for
Mr. Hubbcll‘s canvass—Record.
The trial of Superintendent Pennell, of
the West Norwalk Sunday school, drags
its Weary length along, and bds fair to
last the week out The action is brought
on complaint of U. Grant Houston, "B.
8.,” the “evangelist," with whom our
readers are somewhat acquainted. He
was interrupted in one of his liarangues
on a recent Sunday evening by Mr. 'Pcn-
nell, who had arranged for a Christmas
concert to be given the same evening, but
for which Houston, “B.S.," refused to
give way until compelled to do so by a
threatened general row. There are nearly
half a hundred witnesses in the case, and
the little court room is filled In suffoca-
tron. Some of the‘ testimony is very
amusing. Justicel Selleck presides, and
Lawyer G ay appears for the prosecution,
and Light for the defense.

on Monday for drunkeness and disorderly
conduct, and the next morning Judge
Selleck imposed a fine, which, with costs,
amounted to $9.20. A friend was found,
after considerable fuss, who paid it for
, him, and thus saved hiru from a season of
leisure in jail.
E. A. Saunders, of Naugatuck has sued
the New England Telephone company
for $100, alleging that the operators in
the central office of that town failed to
respond to his order to call up two or
three different physicians when his wife
was ill. He says'he heard one operator
say: “Let the fool ring.” No wander
that telephone service is nothing like as
popular as when first introduced, for im-
pudeuce at central offices—~especially
where there are extra smart young men
in charge-seems to be the rule rather
than the exception.—~Stamford Herald.
Impudence may be the rule in the Nau—
gatuck and Stamford central offices, btit
that rule does not by any means apply to
the Norwalk central. No more obligiug,
prompt and cheerful operators can be
found ordcsired than Miss Ella Belts and
Mrs Melville Kellogg of the central office,
and the patrons of the line will not hesitate
to give them due credit.

Muslo In Everything.
Is is very amusing to go into the shops in
Geneva, Switzerland, where music boxes are
sold. You are shown into a room and invited
to take a chair; the chair plays a pretty tune
' as you take your seat. You hang up your
- hat or umbrella upon a rack, and the rack
murmurs a few strains of music. A decanter
upon the table pours out a glass of water to a
stately march, and all the innocent looking
furniture of the room could, I do not doubt,
discourse excellent melodies. If you desire
_ more elaborate art the large box contains a
whole orchestra; and even the little boxes on
the table can play many exquisite things. No
need of buying opera tickets any longer; you
carry home in your trunk harmony enough
for a lifetime.
The manufacture of jewelry and the cut-
ting of precious stones is one of the oldest
arts in Geneva. It is known to have been
practiced as early as the Fifth century, and
in the Thirteenth ‘the'Gen’evan jewelers werév
widely renowned; but the art of watchmak-
ing, in which this city now leads the world,
is much more recent. The first watches and
cldcks were made here in 1500; at the present
day Geneva manufactures annually 110,000
watches alone. As an American I am bound
to rank the Waltham watches more highly,
but the art seems to have been carried here
very nearly to the point; of perfection: and in
the beauty of their decoration and euamellng
the artists have certainly no competitors in
any country.—San Francisco Chronicle.
AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
A Brooklyn Boy of 0 Tears Abducted and
Sold in Indiana for 825.
One bleak evening in the fall of 1863 a
small boy, 0 years of age, was, hurrying
through .a street in Brooklyn with a
basket of shavings on his arm, which he had
obtained at a factory near by. As he ran on
he was seized by a big, burly man, hurried
into a. cab and driven swiftly away. All
night long the mother of the kidnaped boy
wrung her hands in grief, for the police, who
had been notified of the little fellow’s disap-
pearance, brought no tidings to give her joy.
Days, weeks, months and years Went by. The
mother had a good living and spent hun-
dreds of dollars in search of her missing boy.
She finally settled in'the belief that he had
strayed away and fallen 03 the pier.
Meanwhile Charlie, for that was his name,
was brought to Indiana with a score or more
of other children, and all were disposed of at
various prices to cover expenses. Charlie
fell into the hands of a farmer named Allen,
who resided in Benton county. Allen paid
the agent $25. The farmer was grufl and
mean, and his wife was very unkind. He ran
away from his cruel home to go he knew not
where.’ He set out and managed to get as
far-us Lewisburg, in the eastern part of Cass
county. He was overtaken and returned to
Farmer Allen. Allen and his two sons took
the determined lad to the barn and banged
him with a rope by the neck. Neighbors in-
terfered and Charley’s life was saved. Allen
and both his sons were sent to the peniten-
tiary for attempting murder.
That was over twenty years ago. After
that Charlie had many homes. He finally
drifted to this city. He was married and
settled in a comfortable home, and the bus-
band and father was a constant student of
the Bible and hoped to enter the ministry.
One day a gentleman whom he had known
in Benton county approached him and said:
“Your name is not Chili-file Allen. It is
Charles Lispenard, and your people liveiu
Brooklyn, New York.” The gentleman
would say nothing more and left.
The name sounded peculiarly strange now,
and revived memories that had slumbered
long. A young lawyer, who resides in a sub-
urb of Brooklyn, made search, but could
numberson -by,_t,ho
He found thana family had lived in a. certain
word there bathed moved away long since.
With this much as a starter, the record of
the ward school was examined for the year
1863. There was the name Charlie Lispeuard.
Citizens were found who remembered the
circumstance. It was also learned that a
brother of the missing boy had lived in the
ward until he was a young man.
By diligent inquiry George W. Lispenard
was found occupying a position of trust in a
large jewelry store in Brooklyn. He had
often heard his mother bemoaning the and-
den and strange loss of her boy, who was two
years older than George. ‘
The story was quickly told to the mother.
In the joyful hope of discovering a long lost
son and brother each wrote a letter detailing
little incidents of the missing boy’s child-
hood. The identity was completely estab-
lished. Charles L. Allen is the abducted
Charlie Lispenard. Mr. Allen Lispenard at:
once left for Brooklyn, and there was a
meeting that brought joy too full and too
deep to be measured by words—Logansport

The Segregation of the Races.
:Senator Ingalls asserts that the mulatto is
disappearing and the uegroes are steadily
growing blacker. This is undoubtedly true.
One sees fewer mulatto children now—and
the number constantly decreases. There are
reasons for this. Slavery encouraged associa-
tion between the races, and the law provided
no punishment. Now a negro woman can in-
voke the law to establish the paternity of her
child and to fix the responsibility for it. Be-
yond this protection there -is a sentiment in
both races that condemns asdisgracefnl a
connection that in slavery was not specially
considered. It is noticeable, too, that mulatto
women are taking black husbands, or mulatto
men dark wives. The black race is clearly
growing blacker.
There is another segregating process going
on of which Senator Ingalls takes no account.
The white race is rolling back from the coast
plantations to the highlands and leaving the
negroes in possession. This is not limited to
the coast, but wherever the negroes largely
predominate the whites are retiring. The
movement of separation is casual and doubt-
less imperceptible to both races. But it- is
quietly going on. The English speaking
race everywhere rules or retires. In re-
sponse to this principle the movement of the
whites from the coastal plains to other lati-
tudes is slowly but surely progressing. It
does not affect the cities on the coast. , There
the whites are gathered and they will pro-
bably gain from the incoming of the whites
from the surrounding country. But in a few
years the close student will see the black and
white streaks on the map of the south deepen-
ing—tho black spots growing blacker, the
white spots whiter.
There are those who hold that an even
larger movement is taking place—that of the
gathering of the whites in the cities, and the
slow—very slow-surrender of the farms to
the negroes. Vv’e are not prepared to say
that this is true. But we have always held
that each race in the south, when left free to
follow its instincts, revolved about its own
center, and that the resultant motion was
centripetal rather than centrifugal. This
principle may be relied on, and in the long
future it may solve our racial problem.—

Afflicted, but nappy.
Can cripples enjoy themselves? Well, that
depends.
There are some cripples in this big city
who cannot; but a visit to the Hospital for
Cripplss, at Forty-second street and Lexing-
ton avenue, which, in its way, is one of the
, most interesting, as it is in some respects one
of the most sad, sights to be seen in New
‘-.York, will show one that even those deprived
of the use of their limbs may be made, to
some extent, happy and contented.
’ ’ There are 150 young children in the insti-
tution, all more or less afflicted physically,
but some of the brightest and most intelli-
gent: faces that one could wish to see may be
found among these little cripples. Their
playground, in fine weather, is on the roof of
the hospital, and when it" is cold, in some of
the large rooms of the institution.
They have their games, but; there is some-
' thing pathetic about them. There is no foot-
ball,'no running races, no rolling of hoops
nor any other games into 'which physical ex-
ertion enters. But they have games suited
to themselves, and ingenious enough some of
them are, too. But their singing is the
feature of the institution that most interests
the stranger. Very sweet are some of the
young voices, and very deep is the effect that
it leaves on the listener. While singing some
of the pale little faces are idealmd, and the
deep look of patience one finds in the eyes of
the young who are afflicted changes to one of
hope and happiness.
Altogether it is a very pretty sight, and
one from which more than one sound lesson
may be drama—New York Mail and Ex-
press.
