WASHINGTON, D. 0., May 13. ’89-
DEAR GAZETTE :—-The torrid heat of the
tropics swept down upon the national capr—
tal on Thursday, and sweltering humanity
dripped at every pore up to Friday night,
when the terrific wind gale, that swept so
large an area east of the Rockies, filled the
air with dust so dense as to render it rm-
possible to see objects ten feet distant, but it
cooled the furnace-like atmosphere and
existence became more tolerable. Aside
from damage doue the beautiful trees and
shrubbery of the streets and parks, very
little serious injury was done by the gale
here. In Pennsylvania and Western Mary-
land it seems to have been terribly severe,
and many lives are reported to have been
sacrificed. Telegraphic reports show the
storm to have been very severe in Bridge-
port, New Haven, Wallingford and other
parts of Connecticut, and was attended wrth
thunder and lightning and serious loss of
property and life. It was a storm of rm—
usual extent as well as violence. ‘
CONTESTED ELECTION CASES.
Mr. Moberly, clerk of the House com—
mittee on elections of the Fifticth congress,
n1. v. _.,~l.: in r-rranging, printing
. ‘ '_..=?lil1\’>‘ill'.i penal received in the
,. d «Jemima cas which will claim
i-"lldn 4““1" < ._ .‘zi 'nittee during the
Fifty-first congress.
0f the sixteen cases on file all but three
come from the southern states. Indiana
furnishes one, that of Posey vs. Parrett,
from the First district; Connecticut presents
one, that of Seymour vs. Miles, from the
Fourth district; and Maryland adds her
quota in the case of Mudd vs. Compton,
from the Fifth district. Virginia and
Mississippi each furnishes three cases.
Nothing is known of the course which the
committee will follow in dealing with the
Arkansas case of Clayton vs. Breckinridge,
Clayton having been assassinated while the
work of taking testimony was in progress.
No papers in the case have been received
by the clerk of the House. Altogether the .
work of the elections committee of the next
House promises to be very arduous, and it
will take unusual diligence on the part of
the committee to dispose of all the cases
before the termination of congress.
In the congressional contest in the Fourth
district Miles had but 26 majority, which. it
is alleged, would be overturned by a recount
of the votes in the-town of Westport. The
six months during which, under Connecti-
cut law, the ballot box must remain sealed
have expired, and _a recount has been made
showing that there was no error. Ex-
Congrossman Seymour thereupon announced
that he should abandon the contest.
The above press dispatch sent here from
Hartford would indicate that our state is
not to waste any of the time of the election
committee, though as yet no notice has been
served on the House clerk by Mr. Seymour
of his intention of abandoning the contest,
but he doubtless will do so.
PATENT EXAMINERS MUST BE EXAMINED.
An examining board to consist of Assist-
ant Patent Commissioner Fisher, Examiners
Seelcy, Woodward and Townsend, with two
more to represent Secretary Noble, has been
authorized by Patent Commissioner Mitchell
to examine first, second, third and fourth
assistant examiners for promotion in the
patent office when vacancies occur. The
first examination was held in the civil ser-
vice rooms on May 10. It is understood
that no further promotions will be made in
the examining force, except through a com—
petitive examination.
NEW RULE IN PATENT CASES.
Patent Commissioner Mitchell has de-
cided that the commissioner of patents has
a right to grant a motion for a rehearing of
”resell ally dis osed of b his redecessor,
thllo‘it‘lhaudi fingy ofy new Evidence, or
principle he lays down in the case of Daniel
against Morgan, in which he grants a re—
hearing to Daniel. He discusses the prin-
ciple at great length and holds that the
rule 1,444 of the patent office is no bar to
the power of the commissioner in the prom-
ises. The principle acceded by Commis-
sioner Mitchell is one of great importance,
and IS a new one in patent law.
PENSIONS.
Commissioner Tanner does something
every day to rejoice the hearts of surviving
" .3. . He has adopted a rule,
'2‘ .'erslng that of Commissioner
waif: pension ofiiee shall aid the
_ : pension in all legitimate
v ‘rying to defeat his appli-
.. ',.-.~.ble ways as was the rule
under Black. Black proceeded on the
theory that it was his duty to protect the
treasury first, and grant a pension only
when it had been proveu in the same man-
ner tllata case in court is contested. The
result was that thousands Of needy and
worthy claimants had their just claims
rejected when there was, in the keeping of
the pension oflice, the evidence called for to
prove the claim, but of which the claimant
was ignorant, and which it was impossible
for him to obtain. But nothing lras more
pleased the old veterans than a speech
made by Commissioner Tanner, at Colum-
bia, Tenn., last Thursday.
In the course of his address, Tanner said
he was proud of the fact that he could
bring from his comrades in the north a
sentiment in perfect harmony with the
peace and good feeling dominant here to~
day. “No matter,” he said, “how earnestly
you may light a man ; no matter how utterly
you may condemn the principles for which
he contended, when you find that man so
terribly in earnest that he offers his life » in
behalf of the principles for which he com—
bats, that man commands your respect in
spite of yourself.”
In speaking of the policy to be pursued
by him in the administration of the pension
bureau, he said:—“F or long years I have-
lrad ;one conscientious conviction in my
heart, which has grown with the years, and
which is stronger in my heart to-day than
ever before, namely, that it is the bounden
duty of this great republic of ours to see to
it that no man who wore the blue and laid
it off in honor shall ever be permitted to
crawl under the roof of an almshouse for
shelter. The wolf of want must, in common
decency, be driven from the door of the
maimed or diseased veterans, and "from the
doors of the widows and orphans of those
who have already laid down their lives.
We hear a great deal to-day about the
pension list of the United States. It is a
great list. I‘am hero to assert that it is a
roll of honor. Among the scores of thous—
ands who are upon that roll of honor, there
are 33,871, no one of whom draws from the
treasury of the United States $3.76 a
month ; 377 of them draw $3.75 a month ;
1,893 of them draw $3.00 per month ; 38 of
them draw $2.663-per month; 7 of them
draw $2.66 per month; 2 of them draw
$2.50 per month ; 4 of them draw $2.25 per
month; 3 of them draw $2.12} per month;
31,302 of them draw $2.00 per month ; 2 of
them draw $l.87 per month, and 283 of
them draw $1.00 per month. I broadly
say that I propose, just as soon as possible,
to call in every one of the certificates of
pension, the figures of which I have named,
and reissue them on the basis of the truth
that no man ought to be down on the pen-
sion roll of the United States for less than
the miserable pittance of $1.00 per week,
though I may wring from thehcarts of
some the prayer: ‘God help the surplus.’
From the lips of my predecessor in the
official position which I hold I have the
statementithat from statistics gathered by
him there is no doubt but that at least
10,00) honorably discharged soldiers and
sailors of the Union army and navy lay
down their heads this night on pallets of
s'raw and eat the bread of charity in aims.
houses. It is a shame to us, north
and south, and, God willing we will right
it. I am clearly of opinion t rat I voice the
3,, {m.gCJHV
.'I...
dominant sentiment of this country when I
unhesitatingiy declare that a wise policy de-
mands that in treating with those who have
just claims before this country I should
cease to hunt for merely technical reasons
with which to defeat these claims, and that
we should devote a little of our time at
least to helping those claimants, who in the
past did not hesitate to help the country in
its hour of dire peril. Within the limita-
tions of the law, with due regard to my
official oath, I have broadly asserted that
everything that I can do to assist the needy
and suffering veterans shall 'be done. In
holding to this,course I am confident that I
shall have the approbation of every manly
man in all this country, and particularly of
those who were manly foes of 1861 to 1865.”
THE COUNT OF THE TREASURY CASH.
United States Treasurer Huston will take
possession of his office today (Monday),
and the count of money, coin. bills and
bonds in the vaults will begin. The count
of the teller’s cash in the cash room was
made Saturday, so that all will be clear for
the beginning of the big current year next
week. The Treasury officials reckon that
it will be five months before the job is
completed. ” ‘
The count of the sub-treasury cash in
New York is completed, and Mr. Hyatt
will return at once to Norwalk. .
RECEIVES $13,000 AnnEAns.
Commissioner Tanner has granted a pen—
sion to Frederick Scllweager, of Lime Rock,
Lancaster county, Pa., late of Company K,
One Hundred and Ninety-filth Pennsyl-
vania Volunteers. The evidence in the
case shows that the claimant, while in
Washington in 1865, contracted a cold
which resulted in neuralgia and finally in
total blindness. Ho filed a claim for a
pension some years ago which wasrejected
by Commissioner Black on the ground of
fraud. A subsequent investigatiou, how—
ever, showed, it is said, that the claim was
not in any sense a fraud, but entirely meri-
torious. Hence the pension. The claimant
will receive $13,000 arrears .and $72 per
month hereafter. I
APBIL’S ENORMOUS BAINFALL.
The meteorological summary of the signal
office for April shows that rain fell here on
eighteen days of the month. The total
precipitation for the mouth amounted to
9.13 inches, nearly four inches more than at
any time during tllc past eighteen years.
During that time the greatest rainfall, with
the exception of the present month, occurred
in 1874, when the precipitation amounted to
but 5.63 inches.
THE DEADLY BANANNA PEEL.
Major Raymond rereived a letter Thurs-
day relating to the careless throwing of
bananna and orange skins on the sidewalks.
Lieuf. Ed. Davis, of the Third Artillery,
who was the writer, states that his wierwas
severely Injured recently by a fall caused by
stepping on a banannapeeling. He says he
has been informed that there is a law
imposing a fine of $20 for such an offense,
and suggests that it be enforced. A similar
law ought to be enforced in every town and
city in the country. The blasted life of
crippled misery caused a Norwalk lady by
slipping on one of these peels will be
rrealled by the reader.
rurLIo PRINTER.
The new public printer has been a prac-
tical printer and bookbinder, is a newspaper
man, and hails from Chicago. He thus
meets in a remarkable degree both the
geographical and personal ‘requirements
which the President has fixed for the occu—
pant of this office. The selection is a most
excellent one, and the appointment was
made none too soon.
DAKOTA.
South Dakota will take the first. formal
step toward entering the Union since the
passage of the enabling act to-morrow
(Tuesday), when delegates will be elected
to the iconvcntion, which' is to meet on
July 4th.
PERSONALS.
Senators Platt and Hawley called on the
President last week, . .. _
over to Norwalk Friday.
General William T. Clark proposes leav-
ing here to-day with Mrs. Clark for a visit
to Norwalk, where he proposes to satisfy his
western cravings for clams and lobsters.
The President and Mrs. Harrison and
baby McKee, with Secretaries Windom and
Rusk, went down to Fortress Monroe in the
U. S. Dispatch Saturday, and will take a
short turn out to sea Monday.
George B. Crittenden, of our state, has
been appointed a chief of division in the
census ofllcc.
Senator Ingails is nothing if not incisive
and epigramatic. It is reported of him that
he was urging upon the President the
appointment of a Kansas. republican to a
place filled by a democrat, when Mr. Harri-
son objected til the expiration of his com—
mission, and said he, “You can’t expect me
to do less than Mr. Cleveland did, can you ?”
“Precisely,” retorted Ingalls, “but where is
Cleveland now?”
As ever,

Ffre in. Georgetown.
The “old red mill,” as it was called, a
familiar landmark to passengers on the
Danbury&. Norwalk road, located near
the station at Georgetown, was complete-
ly destroyed by fire Friday morning.
The building was owned by the Gilbert
&. Bennett Manufacturing company, and
occupied by them for the galvanizing of
wire. The fire was discovered about two
o’clock, the flames then having a good
headway. The whistle of the neighboring
factory was blown, and the alarm brought
many of the neighbors to the scene.
It was impossible to save the building
but the large bridge of the Housatonic
railway company, a few feet away, was in
immediate danger. A line was formed
and buckets of water passed up onto the
bridge, which was by this means saved
from destruction.
Considerable valuable machinery was
destroyed, together with a stock of wire.
The fire, the factory people say, was
caused by a spark from an engine of the
Pittsfield express which passed a few
moments before the discovery of flames,
but railway officials scout this idea. The
loss will reach $4,000, and was covered
by insurance.
The building will be remembered by
many having stood for many years on
the bank of the stream a few yards from
the track. From its color it derived the
name of the “Old Red Mill.” The Gil
bcrt & Bennett company will rebuild im-'
mediatcly.
B.
. Reception. .
Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson and thei
daughter Kate, now home from Kentucky,
will receive their friends in a sort of
an informal, farewell reception at the
Parsonage, this Wednesday evening. All
friends are cordially invited to call be-
tween the hours of seven and ten o’clock.
The “fighting person" and his estimable
family should be given an old fashioned
heart and “house warming."

Parallel.
The all absorbing local issue before our
legislature, as to whether it will permit to
be built, a second, or opposition railroad
to the New York & New Haven, is to be
acted upon in the House to-day, Wednes.
day, and both sides profess to be confident
of success.

The most remote point reached by Mr.
George Kennan in his Siberian trip was
the mines of Kara, 5,000 miles from St.
Petersburg' and about 1,000 miles from
the Pacific coast. The narrative of his
adventures and discoveries at these mines
will begin in the June Century and be
confirmed through several numbers. It
may be said to mark the culmination of
Mr. Kcnnan’s papers. The mines of Kara
are the private property of his Majesty the
Tsar, and are worked for his benefit, and
it is to them that the “Nihilists” are sent
when the Tsar is pleased to commute a
death sentence to penal servitude in the
mines. Hence an unusual number of
political prisoners are gathered at Kara,
and Mr. Kennan made the best use of
his time while thereto make their ac-
quaintance and obtain trustworthy infor-
mation regarding their life.

Veteran Reunion. ,
Col. Henry times, that old war veteran
and prince of good fellows, receiver] the
visits and hearty congratulations of a
hundred or more of his army comrades,
Saturday afternoon. at his beautiful
summer home on Little Shell Island in the
harbor below Port Chester. There were
representatives from the Grand Army
Posts of Norwalk, Bridgeport, Westport,
New Canaan, Daricn, Stamford, Green-
wich, Portchestcr and Mount Vernon.
The Colonel was equal to the occasion for
he soon had a barrel of clam chowder,
boiling hot, with army hard tack, pork
and beans and Dclmonico coffee. Cannon
Were fired, flags unfurled, balloons sent
up, speeches made at the close of tho
exhilerating exercises and a heavy gold
badge, studded with diamonds, was pre-
sented him by the Bridgeport delegation.
.Judgc Beers made a neat presentation
speech, while comrades Pat Wade and
Disbrow helped to keep Huss from run-
ning away, and to whom the appropriate
and valuable token of esteem was a com-
plete surprise. After smoking on uncon-
scionable number of Huss’ segars and
pipes of peace, the boys in blue were
rowed to main land and returned home
by train in the early evening. It was an
afternoon outing long to be remembered
by all who participated.

Washington as a Politician.
One of the truths Of history which the
foolish speech of Bishop Potter has
brought to light is that he was a sagaclous
politician as well as remarkably levcl
headed statesman, as the following letter,
which the New York Sun has exhumed,
clearly proves. Says the Sun .'—
Washingtou's real vlews on the question
of appointing members of his own party
to the offices at his disposition, were ex.
pressed with brevity and great clearness
in aletter which he wrote on September
27, 1794, to Timothy Pickering, his score.
tary of war:
“I shall not, whilst I have the honor to ad.
minister the government. brln a man into any
office of consequence knowing y, whose politi-
cal tenets are adverse to the measures which
the general government are pursuing; for this,
in my opinion, would be political suicrde.”
It is unfortunate that the recent ecclesi-
astical researches among the writings of
Washington have not extended so far as
the period of this unqualified declaration.
It was made during his second term of
office, and after four years' experience in
tactical politics. Translated from the
anguage of Washingtonian dignity into
that of Jacksonian vulgarity, and ex-
pressed with William L. Marcy’s direct-
ness of speech, Washington’s principle of
practical politics was this:
“To the victors belong the spoils."

I Have Drank My Last Glass.
No, comrades, I thank you, not any for me,
My last chain is riven-—hencef0rlh I’m free l
I will go to my home and my children to-night
With no fumes of bad liquor their spirits to
blight,
And, with tears in my eyes, I will beg my poor
wife
To forgive me the wreck I have made of her
life :
I have never refused you before I let that pass,
For I have drank my last 9, boys,
I have drank my last glass.
Just look at me now, boys, in rage and dis-
grace;
With my blearcd, haggard eyes and my red,
bloated face ;
Mark my faltcring stop and weak, paislcd
hand,
And the mark on my brow that is worse than
Cain’s brand;
See my crownlcss, Old hat, and my elbows and
knees,
Alike, warmed by the sun and chilled by the
breeze ;
Why! even the children will hoot as I pass,
But I’ve drank my last glass, boys,
I have drank my last glass.
You would hardly believe, boys, to look at me
now, .
That a mother’s soft hand was once pressed on
my brow ; ,
When she kissed me, and blessed me, her dar-
ling, her pride,
Ere she 'lay down to rest by my dead father’s
side;
But, with love in her eyes. she looked up to
the sky,
Bidding me meet her there and whispered
“Good bye ;”
And I’ll do it, God helping ; your smile I’ll
let pass,
For I’ve drank my last glass, boys,
1 have drank my last glass.
Ahl I reeled home last night, it'was not very
late.
For I’d spent my last penny, and landlord’l
won’t wait
0n a fellow, who has loft every cent in their
till,
And has pawned his last bod their orders to
611.
Oh l the totmcnts I felt and the pangs I on-
dured, .
And I begged for one glass, just one would
have cared, . .
But they kicked mo out doors. I, too, let that
pass,
For I’ve drank my last glass, boys,
I’vo drank my last glass.
At home, my pet Angle, with her sweet, golden
hair,
I saw thro’ the window just knee‘ing at prayer ;
From her pale, bony hands, her torn sleeves
were strung down,
While her feet, cold and bare, shrank beneath
her scant gown.
And she prayed, prayed for broad, just a poor
crust of bread,
For one crust, on her knees. my pet darl'ng
plead, '
And I heard, with no penny to buy one, alas!
But I have drank my last glass, boys,
I’ve drank my last glass.
For Angie, my darling, my wee eight year old,
Though fainting with hunger and shivering
with cold,
There, on the bare floor, asked God to bless
me I '
And she said, “Don’t cry mamnra," he will for

I believe what I ask for t then sobored I crept
Away from the house ; that night, when I

Next my heart lay the pledge! you smile, lot

For 1’ vo drank my last glass, boys,
I’ve drank my last glass.
My darling child saved me; her faith and her
love
Are akin to my dear sainted mother above 1
I will make her words true, or I’ll die in the
race,
And sober I'll go to my last resting place,
And she shall kneel there and, weeping, thank
God, -
No drunkard lies under that daisy strewn sod
Not a drop more of poison my lips shall o’er
pass,
For l’vo drank my last glass, boys,
I have drank my last glass.

The New York Herald celebrated its
fifty-fourth anniversary last week and
looked back upon more than half a cen-
tury of ceaseless enterprise and prosper.
ous growth, with a good deal of compla-
cency and self-satisfaction. It has fairly
earned the pleasure of the retrospect, and
may its future continue to improve up'on
the admirable record of ,the past. The
Herald has made for itself a place in
journalism which competition can neither
occupy nor disturb. There are other
great papers, butthere is only one Herald.
Advertisers may reach certain classes in
special newspapers, and find a restless
c ass of not very thorough readers in our
great dailies, but if they wish to speak
home, to find the bone and slnew of the
country, to get at the producers and con.
sumcrs, they should seek space in our
interior, local papers. All good people in
the country take home papers, and believe
in it as they believe in their church, ‘
their court house or their post office.
It is an insinuation. It interests every
one, from the ‘ministcr or lawyer to the
blacksmith—Pm: and Printer.
Blshop- McMahon has designator] the

Stiles II. Whiting is a candidate for the
sition of deputy internal revenue col-
ector for this _ district, and has, it is re-
portcd, stron‘g'hopcs of winning; Politi-
cians say that Hon. Sum Fessendcn has a
candidate for the same position. He lived,
as was an posed, in the extreme north-
western c ge of the county, but when the
matter was investigated, it was found that
he did not live in this county at all, but
just over the line in Litchficld county.
l‘hls of course knocked him out as an
applicant for the place—Bridgeport News.
Derangement of the liver, with consti-
pation, rnjurcs the complexion, induce
pimples, sallow skin. Remove the cause
by using Carter‘s Little Liver Pills. One
a dose. Try them. _
The Bridgeport Standard remarks that
“Editor Prindlc of the News must have
struck it rich last week as he was seen on
the streets this morning in a new spring
suit.” To quote from the New? own
affidavit editor, “this seems wonderful,
but it is tr uc.” ‘
Mr. Whitelaw Hold, the new minister
to France, arrived in Paris Sunday. He
was welcomed at tlie;rnilroad station by the
staff of the United States legation, a dep-
utation from the Franco-American Union,
and many American residents. Mr.
McLauc sent lrls1cnrringe to the station for
Mr. Reid.
There are many forms of nervous debil-
ity in men that yield to the use of Car-
ter’s Iron Pills. Those who are troubled
with nervous weakness, night sweats, ,
etc., should t1 y them.
