musical treat is in store for the people of
Stamford.
The Bridgeport papers agree with sur—
prising harmony, for them, that John Tot-
ten, the old Wilton thief ”escaped from
the Norwalk jail.” As the “Norwalk jail"
is located in Bridgeport, the newspaper
slurs may be kept there too. As a matter
of fact, however, John Totten escaped
from the apology for a lockup in .Ridge—

The Mcclinnics’ Journal says: “The
need of a new lock-up has been a long-felt
want here, and many disparaging com-
inénts have been made by other commu-
nitics rejoicing in a decent prison about
South Norwalk‘s lack of such an institu-
tiOii. It will be forever to the credit of
the Council of 1888 that South Norwalk
at lastpossesscsa place of detention for
its criminal element in keeping with its
dignity as a-city."
' .Tlie Norwalk correspondent of the
Standard is inclined to scold Supt. Hoyt
ofthe horse railway for "a great over-
sight,” in neglecting to provide sufficient
transportation for the up town people who
attended the horse show at Music Hall.
The correspondent says: “After the one
car had taken on all it could hold, inside
and out, there remained enough others to
have filled two or more cars. Most of
these took the Housatonic up, after wait-
ing a half hour or more.” ~
As previously announced the convention
of the selectmcn of the state, which was
to be held in Hartford on January 5th, has
been, for various reasons, postponed to
the 29th inst. - In view of the interest
already manifested in the coming conven—
tion, the committee have decided to hold
sessions on two different days, and. have
made arrangements accordingly. The
convention will therefore be heldat Unity
Hall, Hartford, on Tuesday and Wednes—
day, January 29 and 30.
One of the novel petitions prepared for
presentation to the State Legislature, is
that of George H. Beard, of Milford, who
asks the Legislature to divorce him from
Mary E. Beard. He recites that his Wife
has been insane for years, and that he has
faithfully supported her, both in an insane
retreat and later while she has been living
with her father, Benjamin Wheeler, of
Stratford. Her parents are Well able to
support her and themselves, Mr. Beard
says, and their property will be hers at
their death. He thinks, therefore, that
they should support her, and that be, yet
a comparatively young man (only 40),
He can only get relief from the Legislature
(the original divorce court of Connecticut)
as the courts cannot divorce ontiic ground
of insanity—Hartford Times.
The convention of fruit growers and-
cidcr makers closed at Hartford Wednes-
day. An address on apple culture was
made by T. S. Gold, secretaryof the state
board of agriculture, who thought the
best success of the state fruit growers lay
in this branch of fruit culture. 0. A.
Wiiitcomb read a paper on the “Preserva-
tion of fruit by evaporation,” which point-
ed to success for farmers in the same line.
A..resolutiou was passed instructing the
president and secretary to take measures
toward securing the passage of a law al-
lowing the sale of cider by grocerymen in
small quantities, not to be drunk on the
premises.

'I‘wo Norwalkers, named John Sullivan
and William Barry, were arrested last
night with Mary Lynch, better known as
the “Blizzard," for intoxication and
breach of the peace. Acitizen complained
of them at the central police station about
11.30 last night. He stated they were on
Thomas street acting in a disreputable and
disorderly manner. Ofiicers Fisher and
Glenn were detailed to arrest them.
When the ofiiccrs found them the Lynch
woman was lying on the sidewalk and
her male companions were hardly able to
walk. All were taken to the lock. up
where they put in the rest of the night.
The “Blizzard" is a notorious character
having been arrested time and again for
street walking and intoxiciition. A Nor-
walk man was parading the town last
night and growling because there was no
gambling going on here. He had come
up with a “wad" and kicked because he
could not find the tiger as ofold.—-Bri’dgc-

By an oversight the sketch of Fairfield‘s
first representative, Hon. Wm. B. Glover
was omitted from our legislative column
last week, and we give it herewith :
William B. Glover was born in Philadel-
phia in 1857, attended school in the old
Fairfield academ , and prepared for col-
lege at General ussell’s Military Institute
in New Haven. He graduated from Yale
1878 and soon after from the Law depart—-
ment of Columbia College with the degree
of L. L. B. lie was admitted to the bar
in New York as well as Connecticut. and
is now a most successful attorney at law.
He was elected by the republicans Jud c
of the Fairfield Probate District in 185 ,
which office he still holds, and was a
member of the House in 1883 and again
in 1884. In 1883 he was on the commit-
tees on constitutional amendments, cities
and boroughs, and engrossed bills. In
1884 he was on the judiciary committee,
committee on constitutional amendments,
and acted on the committee appointed to
revise Ill!‘ probate laws.
The following concerning a former high-
ly esteemed resident of Norwalk, will be
renal with interest by his many friends :-,
Prof. Alexander Johnston of Princeton,
who of all scholars would be the most wel-
come guest at the 250th anniversary of the
first constitution of the United States,
since he has done so much to bring the im-
portance of this event to the attention of
readers throughout the country, will be
unable to be pm sent and help us celebrate.
He writes that he has suffered from a very
severe illness since :Dccember lst, and
that f-om that date he has. been confined
closely to the house. The doctors have in
fact forbidden him' all college work for
the present year, and the Princeton fac-
ulty have granted him a well—earned va-
cation until next October. Prof. John-
ston is one of the ablest and most indus-
trious of our younger professors of ,Amer-
ican history—a branch which is not taught
:is thoroughly at most colleges as it should
be. The best wishes of all who have ever
met this genial gentleman will go with
him for the complete re-cstablishment of
his health at an early date.
The first meeting of the Ladies’ Associa-
tion in the new year, was held in the chap-
el of the Congregational church on Satur-
day afternoon, last. The occasion was one
of unusual interest, and long to be remem-
bered. In addition to the several reports
read (giving an‘ account of the work done
during the past year) a beautiful and touch-
ing tribute to the memory of Mrs. C. R.
Palmer, of Bridgeport, was prepared by
Mrs. Pinneo and read, as also extracts from
a letter received from Rev. Frederick Cur-
tis, of Japan. Then followed a poem suited
to the occasion and beautifully recited by
Mists Fannie Stanley, and last an address by
Miss Gilberth, a young lady from Salt Lake
City, Utah, who has been doing grand work
as n cliristain teacher among the mormons.
She made a most earnest and touching up-
peal striving to awaken the sympathy and
aid of those living in “favored New En-
gland,” that more might be done to better
the condition of our unfortunate sisters, who
live in that sin-smitten part of our land.
Miss Gilbertli was an unusually interesting
speaker, and listened to with the deepest
interest, as'also when she spoke in the Con-
gregational church on Sunday night last.
“Reason vs. Revelation" is a late publi-
cation in book form, written by John H.
Kcysci', and is a reply to Robert G. Inger-
soll, from the fulcrum of the spirit philos-
ophy. It is printed by Little 6‘3 Co. The
writer attempts to prove his case by the
words of departed spirits through the lips
of spirituahstic mediums. He has recent-
ly heard from a number of notables who
have long since passed away, and the
messages of some of them cast a great
light on certain questions of momentous
prominence. Forinstance the Shakesperc-
Bacon controversy over the authorship
of the plays. is settled by shakespere him-
self, Keyser says, (“spirit v‘oiced,) in our
presence," and the great bard owns up
that he wrote them himself, but that he
did not coin them out of his own brain,
but “the words I wrote were spoken in my
ear by beings who had dwelt here on earth
where you now dwell." The writer has
also received a spit it communication from
J oiin Wesley, through Mrs Richmond,
medium, in which the great Methodist as-
sures Mr. Keyser that he has found “an-
other charge in my spiritual state differ-
ent from that which I have previously
described through this same instrument.”
(the medium). He says he has at last
found his heaven, “not in the narrow
abode which the theology in which I was
reared . would faln have placed it, not
within the circumscribed walls of a ‘creed
made, or a. man made heaven," and lie is
now “seeking to undo much of the theo-
logical wrong which unwittingly my
cartlily cstntc bequeathed,"

Some time since, our village monument-
iii worker Mr. P. W. Bates, contracted
for a given sum, to construct a granite
monument for Co]. A. B. Wood U. S.
Consul at Dundee, Scotland. The monu-
ment when completed was to be erected
over the grave of Mr. Wood’s father, the
late Rcv. Daniel G. Wood, at Middletown,
N. Y. The contract Was well and faith-
fully carried out on Mr. Bates‘ part, but
0Wibg to excessive charges for iettcrings.
and freighis, his contract instead of re
sulting in the reasonable business profit
he had anticipated, left him out of pocket
$51.50. This fact was made known to
Col. Wood and by the first return mail
steamer, came his draft for the amount of
this loss to Mr. Bates, although no legal
or even moral claim could be made upon
him as licliud already fully paid the con-
tract pricc This was a glad and startling
surprised to Mr Bates, who says it is the
first instance in his whole business exper-
ience where a customer ever paid him
. .
more than he agreed to, and that in
scvcrai instances he had suffered much
larger losses than this. Surely an honest
man is the noblest work of God, and that
is what Col. Wood is and what his sainted
father was in all his lifetime.

CONFLAGRA TION ON SPRING. HILL.
The old Xenon barn bangs-is man
burned to death.
,_ About 1.15 a. m,_.'Sunday morning Mrs.
Tolin Greenwood saw fiamcs rising out of
the old barn of the estate of the late Hen-
ry Kellogg, on Spring Hill. 8118‘ immedi-
ately awoke her son who got 'up to give
the alarm. In the meantime Mr. Lewis
JohnSon, who was making his rounds in
the Union mills, saw the fire, and being
unable to leave, vigorously rang the fac-
tory bell. Iinmeeiatcly after the alarm
was given from boxes 21 and 52. The fire
companies responded immediately, Hope
Hose being first, closely followed by the
Pioneer Hook and Ladder company and
Photnix engine company respectively.
'Soon after the arrival of the companies
a human foot was seen through the south —
east side of the barn and Chief Prowitt
called foraladdcr, which was promptly
brought. John W. Greenwood, of the Pion-
eers, was the first to go up, but could see
nothing on account of the density of the
smoke. He went up again a few moments
afterwards, and saw the body which was
too hot for him to handle. Pieces of car—
pet were procured, and Messrs Geo. Nash
and John W. Greenwood dragged the
body from the burning building on .to a
gate, which was held by A. J. Wheeler,
Matt Nesbitt and C. T. Peach. It was
taken to a corner of the lot to await the
arrival of Coroner Burke who was imme-
diately notified. He arrived about an
hour after the body was taken from the
building and gave permission for its re
moval; which was done by Undertaker
George H. Raymond. The work of tear—
ing down the burning pile was begun
immediately after the body was taken
from it, and the fire was totally ex-
tinguished about 4.30 a. m.
The body was undoubtedly that of
Fiank Taylor, a carpenter, who was a
first-class workman, and who for the past
two years, has made the barn his sleeping
place. He had been repeatedly notified
by Mr. Wm. Kellogg not to sleep there,
but he still persisted in doing so. He
was last seen in Tuhey’s saloon, on Frank
lyn avenue, at 10.80 on Saturday night-
when he left there and said he was going
to bed. When found he was lying on his
back in a sleeping position; his two arms
were burned off to the elbows, and the
entire body was so badly burned as to be
beyond recognition. He was identified by
the shoes, which were the only part of
his clothing not destroyed. A fine pair
of oxen, used for work in Riverside Com-
etary, in the basement of the barn rented
by Enos Kellogg, were burned.
Among the various other things in the
barn that were destroyed was the old pul-
pit used in the first Episcopal church in
Norwalk, a fine carriage, a large quantity
of carpenter’s tools and a horse lawn
mower. It is not known for certain how
the fire started. Some say it was the work
of an incendiary, while others think that
it began from some ashes falling on the
hay out of the victim’s pipe, but the sec-
ond theory is controverted by parties who
knew Taylor well, who say he did not
smoke.
The barn was insured by Mr. O. E. Wil-
son for $300, and the carriage for $150.
The funeral of Frank Taylor took place
yesterday morning from the residence of
his brother, Mr. Frederick Taylor of the
Republican, and the remains were interred
in Riverside Cemetery.

The Consolidated Stock.
Senator Cleveland introduced a bill in
the Senate Wednesday to provide for the
new issue of New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad stock. The company
asked the railroad commissioners to ap-
prove “of proposed increase of its capital
stock to such an amount as will enable it
to provide for all its bonded and floating
indebtedness, to acquire the capital stock
and obligations of those companies whose
property it may hold by lease for a term
exceeding fifty years, and to make perma-
nent additions and, improvements to its
railroad property."
The hearing before the commissioners
developed the fact that the four-tracking
of the New York and New Haven division
is to be _contiuued, and the Shore Line
double-tracked, all this work to cost at
least $8,000,000. The removal of grade
crossings and building of depots would
further require heavy expenditures to an
amount almost impossible to estimate.
Then there are $18 062,858 of capital stock
and bonds of the various companies
whose roads are under lease, and new
stock is to be issued in exchange for these
securities. On this point the commission-
ers say : “If this total of stucks and bonds
were exchanged at the present time for
stock of the New York New Haven and
Hartford railroad company it would prob-
ably require $12,500,000 of new stock for
this purpose, which, with the present
stock and debt of the company, would
make about $33,000,000." Add to this
the $8,000,000 for tracking. and the
amount would be $41,000,000,—-With ex»
pcnditures for grade crossings and' so on,
and the value of Stocks and bonds of com-
panics that may be leased during the next
ten years (it being authorized to lease
roads during that period) not reckoned
in. It will be seen that no strict limit is
fixed.
The bill shows that the exchange of
stock must be approved by the chief jus-
tice of the state; that the issue of new
stock must be approved by a vote of Wu-
'thirds on the stock represented at a meet-
ing of stockholders called for the purpose;
and that the new stock may be taken by
present holders of Consolidated stock at
$100 per share, in the proportion that
their present stock bears to the amount
of the new stock issued.
China’s Lucky Emperor.
The Department of State at Washington
has been informed by the Minister of the
United States at Pekin of the following
edict of the Empress Dowager, published
in the Pekin Gazette of Friday, Nov. 9,
1888:
The Emperor having revereatly suc-
ceeded to his exalted inheritance and in-
creasing day by day in maturity, it is
becoming that he should select a virtuous
consort to assist in the administration of
the palace, to control the Emperor's ofilcial
household, and to encourage the Emperor
himself in upright conduct. Let, there-
fore, Ye-ho-na-ia, a daughter of Deputy
Licut.-Gen. Knei Hslang, whom we have
selected for her dignified and virtuous
character, become the Emperor’s consort.
Let Ta-ia-ln, aged 15 years, a daughter
of Chang Hsii, formerly a. Vice President
of a Board, become the secondary consort
of the first rank; and let Ta—ta la, a ed
13 years, also a daughter of Chang sii,
formerly Vice-President of a‘ Board, be-
come imperial concubinc of the second
rank. Respect this.
The Emperor has now been reigning
fourteen years,,and is now 18 years of age.

The extinction of the buds!» has been a
shockto the sense of the picturesque. But
the disappearance of his hide, the bnflalo
robe, has come home to a very large portion
of the community as a disappointment of a
very practical sort. The experiment of col-
lecting what few buffaloes still remain and
crossing them with domestic cattle is pre
sented inaveryinfarefing manner in The
American Agriculturist: “The advantages
and pecuniary pmfit probable from the
domestication and crossing of the buffalo are
very great. A cross with the Galloway will
make every fine robe, and the value of cross
bredrobesisquiteashigh as thosefrosn'the
pure buffalo. A huge cross breed was slaugh-
tered last Christmas that dressed 1.200
poundssndthe robe wasth more than

worth 850. The meat is worth more than
that from a common ox.” A new for bear-

Mr. Eli Bradley whispered a word or
two Saturday, to the effect that among

on Sunday making the ground white. On
December 9th, there was a few inches of

is claimed, no recent parallel.

broke one of his legs. He was attended
by Dr. L. T. Day. Though much over 50
years of age Allen was spry as a crichet,
peculiarly muscular and hardy, with-

it is strange that a little incident like that
