The 39th annual statement of the zEtna

It shows great gain for the past year, and
indicates a wonderful degree of prosperity
and popularity. A gain of 2,264 in mem-
berships and $5,351,969 in insurance busi-
ness would seem to indicate that the com-
pany is conservatively, yet actively man-
aged.

The many friends of Mrs. T. S. Pinneo
will be mood to hear of'her death. She
died in orwalk on Wednesday, the cause
of her death being hepatitis. She was
66 years of age. Funeral services will
be held in Norwalk, to day, and
she will be brought to Greenwich,
arriving here at 1.54 o’clock p. m.
There will be a funeral service at the
grave, which is in the Second Congrega—
tional church cemetery, by the side of her
father, Rev. Joel Lindsley, who for many
years was pastor of the Second Congrega-
tional church. Mrs. Pinneo, at one time,
'was a grest'w'orker for the good of our'
town. She was interested in almost every
enterprise of a public nature, in which
ladies took a part. The Library and
Reading Room and the Presbyterion
church were particular objects for which
she labored hard and earnestly, when
they needed such work in their infancy.
She was a ready writer, and often took up
her pen to enlist aid and sympathy in her
endeavors to do good.— Greenwich Graphic
Some of the people living in the town
of Monroe or that vicinity are trying to
get a euphonious name for the new station
about to be established at Zoar bridge on
the extended Housatonic railroad from
Derby. Zoar Bridge would occur to
most people but it might be better to have
a more ambitious title, one around which
a city could be built; a name, in fact, that
might attract a city. In these days of
multiplied railroads, or increased railroad
extensions into the “wilds” of Connecticut
the subject may easily become a burning
issue, “Pucker Brush" or “Gooseberry
Swamp” would be poor cognomens even
for a railroad depot of the most unpreten—
tious appearance. Some of the people in -
terestcd in the new station at Zoar Bridge
are endeavoriug to elevate public senti—
ment sufficiently to secure the appellation
of "Stevenson,” after the vice; resident of
the road. This selection won (1 not only
prove an incentive for settlers to gather
about the new center, but rhythmical and
enterprising in itself, and might result in
getting a much better building than other-
wise.——-Danbm'y Press.
A preciOus young Norwalk hopeful, of
a philosophical turn of mind startled his
doting papa the other day by asking:
“Paps, how old will I be a hundred
years from now .9” ,
“I’m afraid, my son, you won’t be her
at that time,” replied the fond parent, sol
emnly.
“Well, I’ll bet you five dollars I willl”
promptly challenged the youngster as he
rolled his taffy gum—drop between his
teeth.
“But even if you should be,” agreed,
papa, “I wouldn't know it for I will prob
ably be dead long before then.”
“Well, if you are,” presistently urged
the boy, with all the earnestness of a
drummer eudeavoring to pursuudc an un-
willing customer to allow him to send a
consignment of fish and date the :bill 00
days ahead, “if you are dead I'll semi a
letter up to you in a soap bubble to tell
I you that I'm here yet."
But the father, probably impressed with
the uncertainty of ever getting a letter
sent in that direction, refused to bet a. d

The report of Quartermaster—General
Olmstcad shows that the state now owns
nrmorics in Hartford, New Haven, New
London, Bridgeport, Waterbury, Norwalk,
and New Britain. During the year the
funeral expenses of 139 indigent soldiers
and sailors were paid by the department
and 188 headstones were erected. The
total expenditures of the department for
the year was $53,314.10. In conclusion
General Olmstcad pays a handsome com-
pliment to Lieutenant-Colonel H. C. Mor-
gan, his able and efficient assistant.
Mrs. Charles Luttiu, of Shelton, was
aggrieved same time ago by Detective A.
J. Burgess, who said she stole flowers
from graves in the cemetery. For this
she vowed to horsewhip him and on Sat-
urday' her opportunity arI-ived. Burgess
saw a friend driving and asked for a ride.
The team turned into the Lattin premises
and before he knew what to do Burgess
found himself being severely horsewhipped
by' Mrs. Lattin. At last he got the whip
from her but she found another and kept
on until her husband appeared and got
Burgess away. ‘
The farcical lawsuit against Sunday
School Superintendent-John W. Fennel
of West Norwalk, for interfering with U.
Grant Houston’s “preaching" in the chapel
' ill that district on December 30111, has
been adjourned for a month. Meantime
Houston’s map of a chaotic “Universe"
hangs up on the wall of the court house.
It is a mooted question whether the case
will be continued any further than the col-
lcctiou of the legal fees—Record.
We incline to the opinion that the Record
is about right in the matter. Already
there is a considerable amount of expense
in the shapv‘ of “legal fees" in this silly
case for the town to scttle-and for what?
We pause fora reply.
A Nor-walk dispatch dated Sunday says:
A cocking main occurred in the attic of
a well-known sporting resort in Saugatuck
late Friday night and was witnessed by
forty sporting men from the surrounding
towns. The contest was between South-
;port and Westport birds, and resulted in a
victory for the latter, roosters from that
place winning four out Of the seven battles
fought. The conditions of the main were
best four out of seven, $5 abattlc, and
$25 on the odd, or the general result. The
odd battle was won by Westport after a
long and plucky fight, in which both birds
were nearly shom of their feathers and
bleeding from many wounds. The South-
port bird was killed by a brain thrust
after a lively struggle for twenty—three
minutes. This is the fourth contest of
cocks from these two .towns that has
occurred this winter, each side winning
two. Tire next and final main will occur
in about two weeks. ' '
“One of the Bravest,” which was pre~
sented by a professional company under
the auSpices of Pilmnix engine company
in the Opera House on Friday evening,
was attended by a crowded house, the
members of the company having worked
diligently in selling tickets and arranging
the preliminary details. The perform-
ance, however, was a disappointment, not
only to the immense audience, but to the
Phoenix boys as well, who had contracted
for a performance to be given by actors,
and hence did not expect their audience
to bc regaled with the antics of a troop of
barn-stormers whose one redeeming feature
was a clever low comedian and a tumbling
acrobat. However, the public good—na-
turcdly allowed itself to be amused. as it
could not be entertained, and is in no way
inclined to criticise the firemen for having
allowed the show people to impose upon
them.
As Mr. Smith, the telephone man, who
is as polite as he is graceful, was about
entering the telephone office in tlic
Gazsrrs building the other day, a lady
came up thc'stairs, and inquired of him
which door led to the telephone office.
Mr. Smith, (who by the way is beautifully
bow-legged, but notmore so, he insists,
than a certain scribe in the same build
ing,) courteously raised his hat and re-
plied: “Right here, madame, walk this
way, please.” at the same time opening
the office door and leading the way in.
The lady scrutinized the form of her
guide, observing the marked convexity of
his nether limbs. looked down at her own
toes in a puzzled way and spologctically
remarked: “Excuse me, young man, but
I can’t walk that way to save my life, I’m
not built so.”
A bill has been introduced in the New
York state legislature to regulate telephone
charges. It now remains for some Nut-
meg statesman to immortalize himself by
doing likewise in the’Hnrtford legislature.
The Press, speaking on:the matter of rate
reduction, says: I ‘ . '
By all means let us have cheaper rates
for telephones, and not only cheaper rates
but more efficient service. The telephone
companies are now giving the people the
worst ppssible service for the highest pos-
sible price. To complaints the on] reply
to the public is: “If you don’t li e our
methods cease to use the instrument”
This high handed way of doing business
might have answered when tele honing
was in its infancy, but it will not 0 now.
Gns_ companies, elevated railroad com-
panies, street car companies, have all tried
this course, and as a rule failed. Public
opinion is stronger even than those
moneyed corporations, and they will have
to heed the just demands of the great
busrness interests for reduced rates and
efficient service.
The Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
company, by its president, Jacob L.
Greene, has issued a circular announcing
that its Indianapolis agent, Joseph A.
Moore, a‘leading‘ citizen of that city has
embezzled funds belonging to the com—
pany to the amount of $500,000 The cir-
cular rcads‘ as follows: “It has just been
discovered that the financial correspond—
ent of this company at Indianapolis, after
sixteen years of service, during which he
has had the unlimited confidence of all the
directors and officers of their predecessors,
is a dcfaulter. For the past week his ac-
counts have been under investigation, and
a defalcation has been found. The ex-
treme amount involved is about $500,000.
He has restored to the company property
which may reduce the actual loss to $400,-
000 The amount of the loss in either
event will not in any degree sheet the
company’s solvency nor even interfere
with its regular dividends. The past year
has been very prosperous, and, in spite of
this unexpected loss, the company will
make a heavy gain in assets, pay a larger
dividend than last year, and probably in—
crease ita already large surplus. Its forth-
coming annual statement will show assets
of the most solid character, amounting to
about $57,500,000, with asurplus of about
$5,250,000.”

One of the finest effects in the presen—
tation of One of the Bravest on Friday

A local contemporary hits the target
very near-the builseye when it remarks :
“That old tomb which we dignity by the
name of town house is rapidly going to

house gave 0. practical illustration of this
at the close of the special borough meet-
ing on Wednesday afternoon."
We invite the careful attention of our
readers to the statement of the Mutual
Life Insurance Co. of New York, which
appears in other columns in this issue of
the Gazs'r'rn. The figures therein set
forth makes remarkable and instructive
showing of the business done by this sterl-
ing old company during the year 1888. It
shows an increase in assets during that
time, of $7,275,301.68, the total assets be—
ing at the end of theycar, $126,082,153.50.
The surplus then on hand was $7,940,063.
The amount in risks assumed in 1888 was
$103,114,261, an increase over the business
done in the year preceding, of $32,756,—
793. This enormous growth of business
in one year is a natural result of the wise
and judicious management of the affairs
of the company and a tribute to the worth
energy and integrity of its oflicers. A
glance at the names comprising the ofliciul
board will satisfy anybody of the sound—
ness of the institution.
U. Grant Houston, B. S. has certainly
immortalized himself and the West Nor—
walk chapel. The Police Gazette of last
week had his recent “religious” ruction
illustrated with a picture that outdocs evcn
HOIStIu,S delirium tremens map of the
“Universe" as a work of imagination.
Houston is represented as standing in an
exquisucly wrought pulpit, in an attitude
of abject terror, endeavoring to screen his
face with an open bible, from the shower
of boots, bottles, hymn books, dead cats,
rotten eggs, clubs, bricks and other me—
mentocs which the angry crowd is hurl~
ing at his devoted head. The Sunday
school superintendent, Mr. Pennell, is
portrsyci as a dashing young dude in the
act of delivering a surprised and indig—
nant Thomas cat against the windward
side of the cringing evangelist’s cranium,
while the deacous, dcaconesscs, and un—
titled saints make up the infuriated mob
that fills the air with an avalanche of wcap-
ous. According to this picture the affray
was one of the most hilarious excitement.
A prominent agriculturalist, residing
notathousand miles from Norwalk, nt-
teudcd the recent cider makers’ conven—
tion in Hartford, but stayed only a few
minutes. “The people present,” said he,
“wore not the kind I associate with
They looked not Only like cider makers
but cider drinkers as Well.”—Gazs'r'rs.
Mr. F. T. Palmer, who is the secretary
of the association, was shown the above
item. “Well," said he, “I presume that
man is a ‘huy-seed,’ a ‘wny-bscker’ a
‘crank’ of small calibre. At the table
where I sat at dinner, at the. Park Central
Hotel, where all the members took dinner,
not one of the six around our table was a
smoker, a chewer or a drinker. I have
seen these 'prominent agriculturalists’ be
fore, and I happen to know that they can
give us points on cider drinking, and hard
liquor also."——Greenwich Graphic.
As a matter of fact, the gentleman re-
ferred to by the GAZETTE is neither a “hay-
seed," a “way-backer,” a “crank of small
calibre.” nor a man who would descend
to the use of such refined epithets. On
the contrary he is a gentleman whose
name is a household word among agricul-
turulists and others, not only throughout
Connecticut but several other states, and
isa synonym for integrity, uprightness,
veracity and ardent love and endeavor for

WESTPORZ!
Thursday night a merry party went
from here by carryail to Greenfield Hill to
attend a house warming at the residence
of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Sherwood.
The Westport Masonic Relief associa-
tion of Temple Lodge have so amended
their laws that, wives, daughters and
sisters of members may join and receive
benefits. _
Dr J. W. Hill, Professor in the Bishop
Scott grammar school, Portland, Oregon,
has sent to many citizens of his acquaint-
ance here, your correspondent being one,
a copy of an illustrated pamphlet “The
West Shore," showing the beauties of that
city.
The attention of those suSpicious peo-
pic who indulge the opinion that, because
there is an empty factory in town and a
dozen or so of unoccupied dwellings the
town is gradually striking out of sight, is
called-to thefact that by late census re-
port the population liad increased, and
that in point of wcalfh the town stands
among the 167|towns of the state, thc27th.
Two and a half pounds of those Sauga-
tuck river smelts, first of lthc season,
which every year make so many months
water, caught in a seine Friday by Mr.
Eli Bradley, were forwarded :to Hon.
William H. Barnum by Mr. Howard
Staples, to assist the great democratic
manager in yrecovering his health. This-
catch on the 24th of January is accepted
as an augury of smelt plentifuiness when -
spring opens.
Mr. Horace Staples’ birthday anniver
sary occurs Thursday. He was born "
January 3lst 1802. It is proposed to make
his 8711i an event worth remembering, and
to that end the pupils of the High school
which hedoundcd, will give an entertain-
ment in Assembly Hall. The day will be
known as Founder’s day, and Mr. Staples
wishes to have the Gazsrrs say that
everybody is hidden and expected without
further invitation. Two brothers of the
host aged 82 and 84 respectively and a
sister aged 90 will take part.
The joy of local democrats excited
when the report reached here that the
State Senate committee on contested
election would send a delegation here to
make a recount of the ballots‘cast Novem—
ber 6th, was turned to sorrow with a blue
tinge, when a subsequent report was
whispered that action had been postponed
and the box would not be opened anyhow
until parties interested on both sides had
first been heard. It is said the chap who
set going the silly report of an error in the
box is now asking himself “Am I, or am
I not? If not who am I ?”
A story which'many believed, was cir—
culated last week to the effect that, be-
cause the consolidated road would soon
introduce two more tracks necessitating
the moving northward of the depot, and
that, as land for that purpose could not be
obtained the present depot would be aban-
doned and a new one built on the east
side. Such believers may derive comfort
from the assurance that a horse railroad
leading from the village to the depot, the
round about way of getting form the
Village to, and down Compo street, and
the objections of the patrons who are sat-
isfled with the accommodations which the
New Haven road offers, will Weigh
heavily in favor of no change, should the
proposition to make one there ever come
up.
Friday evening an adjournedmeeting of
the Board of Trade and manufactures of
Westport and Saugatuck, an organization
which, instead, should be called The
Village Improvement Society was held.
By laws were adopted and ten directors
elected viz: H. A. Ogden, J. E. Hubbcll,
M. W, Wilson, W. J. Finch, C. II Taylor,
J. S. Jones, F. M. Raymone. M. L. Filley,
W. C. Staples, and T. E. King. The
membership fee is two dollars. The
object of the board is to improve the vil-
lage sidewalks, induce manufacturers to
locate, and to encourage enterprises of any
kind and thus enhance home trade and
products. The forty or more persons
attending the gathering represented all
the various interests in town. Speeches
were. made by Revs. Lewis and Hyde,
E. M. Lees, O. I. Jones, R. T. Lees and
other. Meetings will be held fortnightly
on Thursdays. ’
During 60 years those who have sailed
in the harbor have observed near Cedar
Point, inside, a low brown cottage east of
the cedar trees of the Cutting estate. Its
occupant was Burr Nash, a fisherman in
its true sense. In fair or foul weather he
was to be seen with unvarying certainty.
Though he had children and grandchil-
dren located in various places he preferred
the cottage, and for fully twenty years
lived in it alone. Sunday night January
201b, after the snow storm begun, was the
last time a light was seen in the little
window. Tuesday following it is believed
but cannot be verified, he stepped outside
the door to cut a litttle wood Wednes-
day David B. Bradley. his nearest neigh-
bor, who lives on the Form, thought there
Was something wrong and went to the
spot, entering the door and passing in to
the only sleeping apartment, he found the
occupant dead, and from appearance-
dcath had taken place some time previous
Dr. Powers was notified, but no examina-
tion was made, as clearly death was the
result of imfirmities and old age. The
remains were taken to the home of Mrs
Morris E. Allen, his daughter‘ from
whence, on Friday the funeral took place,
and the burial in the old cemetery at
Greens Farms. Mr. Nash was in his 79th
year. “Pan.”
