South Norwalk is about $700 ahead of

the borough in its contributions to the
J ohustown sufl’crcrs.——Meclumics’ Journal.

This is not a fair statement. If it were
not for Norwalk people who work in

South‘No'rwalk shops the borough contri-

bution would double that of the city.

Frank James, one of Norwalk’s old time
characters who has been in New York for
some time, returned to this town on Fri--

The senate spent only half a minute
over the proposal to extend the time in
which the New York or Connecticut Air
Line road might finish its line. That

The future may bring something forth.—

Singular how everybody wants to come
to Bridgeport.—Brldgeport News.

What! After the Bridgeport papers
have done so much boasting about the
wonderful superiority of that‘city over
any other city on the face of the earth,
you think it “singular” that people want

The GAZETTE oflice parrot horrified the
compositors on Saturday by shouting
from its perch : “It’s thirty degrees hot-
ter than the furnace in Hades!” And
nobody disputed the wise bird’s ejacula-
tion. He probably learned it from the
foundry hands in the rear of the compos-
ingr oom.

Gov. Bulkeley renominatcd Silas A.

Charles Griswold of Guilford to be bank
commissioner until July 1, 1891.

A daughter was born to Dr. and Mrs. A.
H. Baldwin on Saturday, 1st inst. This
is a late announcement, but the Doctor
was too modest to inform the newspapers
himself, and the neighbors haven’t for
some reason, circulated the news as ex-
tensively as is usual, so it comes a little
late—but better late than never.

The opinion of an Indian touching the
white men who had scrambled into the
Oklahoma country was conveyed to a

observation and epigrammatic description.

An cmploye at the Redding lime kiln
was torn to pieces and scattered along the
track for half a mile near Redding on Mon-
day evening. The finding of several finger
nails and a couple of whiskey bottles from
which the spirits had fled, led to the dis.
covery of the accident. The unfortunate
,man was a cooper and is supposed to have
been caught asleep on the track while
drunk. ~

Rev. Colonel Anderson made a flying

affair.

A wealthy London merchant gives the
secret of his business success as follows :
“I always feel happy when I am advertis-
ing, for then I know that waking or sleep-
ing I have a strong though silent orator
working for me; one who never tires,
never makes mistakes, and who is certain
to enter the households from which, if at
all, my trade must come." To secure the
services of such an agent as this shrewd
merchant referred to, advertise in the

The Messenger-’3 Silvcr Mine correspond-
ent remarks :—“The accounts of the festi-

val havc all been settled as ordered by the
several committees. The entire proceeds
were over ninety dollars, a sum altogether
unexpected. Alargc bill for ice cream
and other items of necessary expense re-
duces the net gain to fortyuiuc dollars,
for which we are grateful to our many
friends, and tlriuk the church may thank
God and take courage. The entire pro-
ceedings of the two evenings were very
pleasant.” - ‘

The inventive genius of Ansonia and
vicinity must be slumbering. No patents

have been issued to Ansonians in several
weeks—Ansonia Sentmel.

Our Ansonia and Derby contemporaries
are to modest by far. The ingenuity dis-
played in the production of arguments
on either side, in the newspaper contro-
versy over circulation, influence, etc. be—

tween the Sentinel and the Transcript,

bespeaks an inventive genius that slum-
bcrs not, notwithstanding the patent
attorneys are disregarded.

Mr. M. C. Schoonmakcr a Bethcl hat
manufacturer, has invented aningenious
and effective device for packing hats so as
to prevent all chafing of the crown, brim
or binding, in the box. He has sent to an
attache of this office a hat box equipped
with this little contrivauce, and to more
effectively demonstrate its utility, be en-
closed in the box a Derby hat of fine qual-
ity and attractive style, such as are pro-
duced in his factory. The combination
illustrated at once the practicability of the
packing device, the excellence of the hat
and the liberality of the sender.

The Bridgeport Post base ball club has

Bridgeport has raised about $8,000 for
the Pennsylvania flood sufferers. New
Haven claims to be twice as large but has
raised less than $6,000. Hartford has
done nothing in the way of contributing
funds. ‘ Watcrbury’s fund amounts to
about $4,000. while Danbury has contri—
buted $2,628.11. It will be seen that
Bridgeport, while making very little fuss
about it, has raised more money by about
$2,000 than any other city in the state.
And furthermore, she can, and will do it
all over again the first time there is need
of it. Bridgeport people are built that
way—News. '

Proportionatcly, figuring on a population
basis, Norwalk leads Bridgeport, having
contributed $5,000 to the Johnstown suf—

ferers.

Lillian L. Beers, the divorced wife of
Charles Riley, died at tire residence of her
parents on the Westport road, Thursday
morning, after an illness of about two weeks,
of peritonitis. The report that there was
something suspicious about the manner of
her death, and that she attended the circus
the night before, which appeared in some of
our local papers, was based upon misinfor-

unation. » Tlrelfa‘ct is the young lady return-

cd from Bethel where she had been living,
some two weeks before her death, on account
of illness, and ,was confined to her home
from the day'of her return until her death.
Her age was 24 years. The interment took
place on Saturday in Riverside cemetery.

 

Samuel Reid, the truckman, is the owner
of a very intelligent Irish setter and he
never tires of telling of the many wonder-
ful performances of his pet. Last night
Mr. Reed told his wife, in the presence of
the dog, to call him at six o’clock this
morning as he wished to go to the Rose-
dalc dock to begin work on a large stock

of freight which was awaiting his attention.
This morning Mrs. Reid failed to awake
at the hour named, and Mr. Reid was
aroused by hearing his knowing dog
scratching at his bedroom door. He
instantly arose and upon looking at the
clock discovered that it was three minutes
past six o’clock. Mr. Reid says it would
take considerable money to tempt him to
dispose of the dog that seemingly so well
understands the English language, and is
withal so faithful and knowing—Bridge-
port Farmer.

The programme for the Independence
day celebration at Roscland Park, near
Woodstock, includes an address of wcl;
come by Congressman Charles A. Russell,

,who will introduce Governor Morgan G.

Bulkcley as the presiding officer. Other
addresses will be made .by Associate
Justice Miller, of the United States
Supreme Court, Senators Wm. B. Allison,
of Iowa, Joseph R. Hawlcy, of Connecti-
cut, and Frank Hiscock, of New York;
Congressman McKinley, of Ohio, and
President Gates, of Rutgers College. The
poem will be read by erl Carlton. Pres-
ident Harrison will also attend the ecle-
bration unless some unlookcd for official
duty prevents and will be accompanied by
Mrs. Harrison. Secretary Tracy of the
navy and Secretary Noble of the interior
department have been invited and are
expected to attend.

 

The one hundredth ’anniversary of
Methodism in New England was celebra-
ted in Music Hall oh Monday with elabor-
ate and appropriate ceremonies. Burr
Nash, the oldest living member of the
South Norwalk Methodist church, was
chosen president. Rev. J. A. Biddle, of
the Congregational church, read a passage
of scripture, and prayer was offered by
Rev. Mr. Ford, of Huntington, L. I. The
audience joined in singing “O for a
Thousand Tongues to Sing,” and “Jesus
Lover of My Soul.” Mr. Nash gave a
glowing account of the character and
deeds of the early workers of the ‘First
M. E. church, and also spoke of the brave
itinerant preachers who planted the seed
of Methodism in New England. Attire
conclusion of'his remarks Rev. C. J.
North introduced Presiding Elder N. G.
Cheney, who delivered the memorial dis-
course. Rev. Dr. Van Alstyne presided
at the evening session, which was intense

 

1y interesting.

The followirig was—found by a Middle? '

A r'cccntly'published work on “' ‘hc Art
of Advertising" says: “A point which
will afford reliable information as to the

medium is the closeness with which the
publisher. adheres to his advertising rates.”
The GAZETTE invariably holds to its rates;
and, what is of greater importance to the
advertiser, it charges everybody the same
price for the same service. This few pa—

Tire Yale strawberry, grown by Stephen
Ionl’s Sons, of New Canaan is “immense”
in every sense of the term. In size they
are unsurpassed, great big, rich juicy
monsters, and of the flavor, to say it is
delicious would be putting it mildly. The
berry is named in honor of Yale College,
and the Messrs. Hoyt have sent a generous
quantity to Hon. Chauncey M. Dcpcw,
whose admiration for the fruit can be no
less than his well known admiration for
the college for which it is named.

 

At last, thank fortune, we have found
out what a kiss is. Dr. Henry Gibbons
says it is the anatomical juxtaposition of
two orbicularis oris muscles in a state of
contraction. We have set out several
times to discover by experiment what a
kiss is, but for some reason we always
managed to become so inextricably tangled
up in it that we went away with only a
shadowy recollection that it was something
which sounded like pulling off a wet boot
and felt like tickling the bottom of your
feet. _

Tire Sun’s new parrot war cry to the
democratic party, “Get together!",recalls
a story 001. Anderson once told at aBuck-
ingham Post beanbakc. Before the
Indiana regiment of which he was the
commander started for the front, a com—
pany of Hoosiers reported to him for
enlistment. Col. Anderson requested the
Hoosier Captain to form his company in
line to see what they could ‘do. The Cap.
taiu got his men together before the Col—
onel like a flock of sheep, and although he
knew nothing about military tactics, he
was painfully aware that his company was
not in proper shape to be inspected by the
Colonel, whereupon he gave the order to
“String out there and get into rows! Get
into rows just as you did- day before yes—
terday! d—n it! have a little military
about you I"

The schooner Eva L. Ferris, owned by

Representative Ferris, of Norwalk, was in
collision off Cape Cod last week with the

. schooner Mattie E. Eaton, of Thomaston,

Me. The Eaton was struck near the bow.
The foremost was broken off short at the
top of the house through which it rises,
and went over the starboard rail without
doing any particular damage. The main-
mast snapped off at the deck and followed.
the foremost, taking a big piece of the rail ,
with it. Then the mizzenmast went about
fifteen feet above the deck and also cleared
the vessel. Tire spars, sails and standing
rigging were lost, being so completely
torn away that very little work was re—
quired with the axes to free them. It was
impossible to save much of anything, a
little of the rigging and the boom being all
that was left, The Ferris lay by the Eaton
until some hours later, when the tug Glad-
iator of New .Bedford came along and
took the Eaton in tow. Fortunately no
one was hurt. The Ferris did not appear
to be lnjurcd,——Hartford Com-ant.

An officer from Norwalk was in town
this afternoon looking for some trace of
Thomas Finnell of that place, who had
been absent several days. Finnell is en-
aged to be married to a young lady of
orwalk, and she is almost distracted
over his disappearance. She accompanied
the officer to this city in the search for her
missing lover. He had drawn from the
bank $2,300 for the purpose of building
them a house on land he had purchased in
Norwalk. As he had the money in his
possession, it was supposed he had fallen
among some of our Water street vultures
and been plucked. He was arrested Wed-
nesday night in this city for being drunk,
and had to pay $10 for his fun. Chief
Marsh took the cashlfrom him and hedd it
until he got sober, when he returned it.
He tried to have him leave it until he was
ready to return'home or to deposit it in
one of our banks and take a certified check,
but he refused, and gave the officer to
understand he could take care of his busi-
ness without police interference. He said
he was going to Danbury, but whether he
did or not is not known—Standard.

The marriage of Miss Mary Louise Ever-
est, daughter of the Rev. Chas. H. Ever—
est, to Mr. Charles Lcc Rockwell, of Mer-
idcn, which will be solemuizcd in the First
Congregational church this (Wednesday)
evening, will be the most fashionable and
notable society event of the season. Tire
church will be profusely decorated with
flowers. A large canopy will ,be erected
from the main entrance of the church to
the street, under which the bridal party
will march to and from the altar. Nearly
1,000 invitations have been issued for the
wedding ceremonies, and 200 for the re-
ception at the residence of GOLF. St. John
Lockwood. The side entrance to the
church will be locked and no person will
be admitted to whom an invitation has not
been sent. Friends have been invited
from all over the country, and many in
Europe.

The Fremont, (Ohio,) Journal of last

90ycars old. In commemoration of the
event all came to greet him, at the home
of his son, Isaac M. chler, of this city,
where he has resided for the last ten years.
He was born in Norwalk, Conn., J unc 5,
1799 and learned the blacksmith trade in
that village. In the spring of 1817 his
father, Luke chlcr, with his family, left
Norwalk, Conn., with an ex team and a
one-horse wagon containing all his worldly
goods and effects, bound for Ohio. He
located in Norwalk, Huron county. Six
sons and three daughters composed this
household. The parents, four sons and
one daughter are dead. Two sons, Eri,
of this city, and Orange Kcelcr, Auburn,
Cal., and two daughters, Mrs. Ph. Ed-
wards, Toledo, Iowa, and Mrs. P. Red-
ing, Norwalk, Ohia, survrvc.

Of Eri Keeler’s family the wife and five
children have died, Isaac M. Kcelcr, this
city; Col. Wm. B. chler, Chicago 111.;
Mrs. N.'E. Martin, Cleveland, Ohio; Mrs.
G. W. F. Randolph, Plainfield, N. J. ; and
Mrs. H. Johnson, Norwalk, Ohio, remain
and greeted their father on this happy
occasion. There were also present his
sister,:Mrs. Redding, of Norwalk ; Mrs. C.
S. ;Sargcnt, daughter of Col. Wm. B.
chlcr, and her two daughters of Cadwell,
Ohio, making four generations. Wrth the
exception of rheumatism Mr. chler’s
health is good. His mind and memory
are as clear and unimpaired as ever, and
he enjoys life every day. Many friends
called to give their congratulations to Mr.
Keclcr on Wednesday last.

The New York Sun of yesterday con—
tained this dispatch dated at New Haven.
We trust the accusations therein may be
satisfactorily explained or disproved in
late by Mr. Gray :—- '

“The village of Woodmont is stirred over
an abduction case. On Tuesday last a
fourteen—year—old orphan girl by the name
of Sadie Ring was taken from the home of a
Woodmont family which had befriended
her, and carried 011'. The child had from
March last made the house of Andrew
Gilbert her home. Mr. Gilbert found her
one cold night on the railroad track. The
child said she had run away from Norwalk
from the home of Lawyer J. A. Gray, by
whom .she had been shamefully treated.
She was then on the road to Boston, and
intended to walk the entire distance. Mr.

 

“Gilbert persuaded Sadie to stay with him

over night, which she did. When morning
came she was loath to go away and weeks
and months still found her at Mr. Gilbert’s
house where she lived as one of the family!
On Tuesday Lawyer Gray and a man whom
he introduced as a sheriff called at the
Gilbert house. He demanded the child.
When Sadie saw the lawyer she grew fran—
tic and, on her knees, begged Mr. Gilbert
not to allow her to be taken away. The
supposed sheriff, however, frightened Mr.
Gilbert, and ire told Sadie that she would
have to go. With this the child rushed to
a bureau where Mr. Gilbert kept his razor,
, and taking the weapon she raised it to her
tlrroat'saying that she would kill herself
before she would go. Mr. Gilbert caught
her arm before she did herself any injury.
The child was then carried to a beach
wagon, which was in waiting near by, and
was driven off. Mr. Gilbert has learned
that the sheriff was a fraud, and will pros-

 

cutc both him and Gray."

The evening before his marriage, Mana—
ger Tomlinson, of Hawes Opera House, was
invited to the Farmer office and much to
his surprise and gratification, he was pre-
sented with a very handsome silver ice
pitcher, tray and goblet. The gift wasfrom
the newspaper fraternity of Bridgeport.
The prcsntation speech was made by Mr.
R. H. Lyon, in a very acceptable manner.
Mr. Tomlinson received the present mod-
estly and with a few appropriate words,
thanked the donors for their kind' remem-
brances and generous gift.

The rejection or refusal of the legislature,
to extend the time for building the “Olm—
stead Parallel,” has caused considerable
comment. Prest. II. R. I‘arrott who resides
in this city, has been indefatigable in his
efforts to secure the extension of the time.
Mr. Parrott has not only given a great deal
of time’to this matter, but has invested a
considerable amount, and as it has been
already stated between $75,000 and $100,-
000 has been expended on the road by the
stockholders. This of course will be a total
loss unless there is some other way to go on
with the work.

During the past week there have been two
or three notable weddings. 'Weduesday
afternoon the marriage of Miss Jennie B.
Andrus and Dr. A. J. Smith was solemnized
at the residence of the brides parents, 87
Barnum street. After the usual congratu-
lations and a- wedding supper, Dr. and
Mrs. Smith left on an evening train for a
short bridal tour.

On Tuesday aftemeon Miss Elise 1’. War-
ner the only daughter of Mrs. and Mrs. G.
W. Warner was united in marriage to Mr.
Geo. C. Poitier, of New York city, at the
home of her parentsI on Washington avenue.

The graduation exercises at the Golden
Hill Seminary "conducted by Miss Emily
Nelson Were held on ‘Thursday last. The
house was crowded with the pilpils» and‘
their friends. Tire graduates of ’89 were
Miss Mary Cady Fairchild of Monticello,
N. Y., and Miss Eleanor Landon Atkinson
of this city. Tire Rev.‘ John S. Lindsay,
D. D. the esteemed Rector of St. Johns
Episcopal church, of this city, made the
address which was as follows.—-—I send you
this excellent address as reported by the
Bridgeport Standard:

I' suppose every one is used to going to
church. Aparson always takes a text. I
shall take for my text this morning, Our
Mother Tongue. I shall select a short horn-
ily on the use of language. Language is
somehow associated with the feminine gen-
der. We say Our Mother Tongue, I sup-—
pose because women use our mother tongue
more than our fathers. I am glad they do
for they use it better. In these latter days,
language goes forth by telephone and tele—
graph. We, too, have the t pewrit‘er and
graphophone, both made in ridgeport, I
believe. It is important that we use right
language. I would advocate clearness, cor—

.reetncss and chasteness. Speak and write

so that any one can see what you mean.
There was once an old Scotch woman who
went into ecstacics over a religious service
in Hebrew, Greek and Latin. ‘Do you un—
dcrsiand that,’ was asked. ‘Understand it,’

she replied, ‘I wud nae be sac presumpt’us.’

You hear well educated people make breaks
in grammer. One women wishing to make

a small contribution to a charitable object,

wrote. ‘This is the widow’s might.’ It was
true, but she did not mean it that way. Peo-
ie speak of pants. There are no pants.

here are trousers or pantaloons. The worse
form of error in this country—must I tell
these young ladies what it is—is the use of
slang. .I have heard young ladies say ‘you

bet’ and that they had ‘mashed a fellow.’

now, I have always associated mashing with

some not like crushing a worm under the

foot. Richard Grant White says: ‘The
higher the cultivation, the plainer the

speech.’ Chastene'ss in speech and simpli-
city should be sought after. In the North

of England, a woman once went into a store

and said she wanted to buy a frock; not a

gaudy one, but one with red and yellow in

it. The same absurdity applies to language.

We put to much red and yellow into our

talk. I think ladies are a t to use too

many adjectives. It is ‘ eavenly’ and '
splendid.’ Let us let up on such phrases.

When in the University I once walked be-'

bind a couple of young ladies on the street.

I heard one of them ask the other if she

didn’t think the University was as delighta
fully near to Heaven as ever you see. I

knew the university and also knew it was

far from it. It is entirely unnecessary for

me to offer any suggestions for improvement

in language. That would be singularly out

of place in this excellent institution. Some

one may say ‘You 'say nothing of the beauty
of language.’ Never mind the the beauty,

cultivate a clean, correct, chaste style. The
young lady does not try to be beautiful;

does she? She is the more beautiful for

being unconscious of it. So in style. Sure-

ly this excellence is something worthy of
attainment. I like music, sculpture and
painting. All these are worth cultivating,

but I believe language lie 'the gift of God
and is something better to excel in. Our

own language, the English language, that
has come down to us with all the treasures
of the ages. That pure English—what is
more beautiful? Let us love our blessed

Mother Tongue, write and speak it with all
the truth acquired by study and truth.

The “adverse criticism,” of the Rev.

Doctor’s remarks, imputing to him the use
of slang in his address, would seem far
fetched and peurile in view of the fact that
as the above plainly shows, slang was not
used except as an example of what should
be shunned and to give contrast to what is
proper. The disease must be diagnosed
before the remedy can be applied.
Rev. B. E.Warner presented the diplomas
with a few eloquent and timely remarks
replete with friendly advice, congratulation
and benediction.

Rev. Dr. Lindéay rector of St. John’s
church, has been here about two years and
during that time has received two promin-
ent calls. One from New Orleans, and the
other from St. Paul’s church in Boston, the
latter being one of the largest parishes in
thatcity, but Dr. Lindsay refused both calls,
much to the gratification of his own people,
and his many friends. The salary offered
him by the Boston church, was $6,000 and
parsonage. Dr. Lindsay is a very able‘
preacher and is very popular with all classes
of the community.
The South church society has voted to
give the Rev. B. G. S. McNeillc their pas—
tor, a vacation of two months, during which
time he will visit Europe, and will sail about
July 1st., returning about the lst. of Sep—
tember. w. e. L.

New York lithium—On Friday there
was a generous display of the American

ensign at the navyyard in honor of the

da‘y'o‘t its adoption, June 14,1'1777. The
resolution of the Continental Congress
provided: , '

“That the flags of the the United States
he thirteen stripes, alternate red and

white; that the Union be thirteen stars,
white in a blue field, representing a new
constellation.”

The flags that are being made at the
navy yard are the counterpart of the
original flag, except that the number of
white stars in the blue field is increased to
forty-two, to correspond with the “forty-—
two United States." The stars on the
new flags are to be arranged in six rows
of seven stars each.‘ In the rigging loft
of the navigation building at the navy
yard these new flags arc‘ to be made. On
July 4, of this year, the 114th anniversary
of the signing of the Declaration of Inde—
pendence, the old flags will be called in,
and the vessels of the Navy will fly flags
of forty-two, instead of thirty-eight, stars.
When it was decided that the new States
should be admitted to the Union, orders
were sent from Washington to Command-
cr Green, of the navy yard, to have the
new flags made, and he at once began
work.

it is believed, tend to enhance the interest
in what everybody hereabout is talking

Sutherland D. Judah;who died in Nor-

H. Keyscr’s vault, Evergreen cemetery,
Thursday, was a man who had been as-
sociated with important matters in this
country, notably the Union Pacific rail-
way, the original survey of which he
assisted in making with a brother, since
deceased, who was employed by the Gov;
ernmcnt. He was a brother of General
Henry M. Judah, a graduate of West
Point with General Grant, who fought in
the Mexican War under General Scott and
in the late war, and whose remains rest
in the old cemetery. Deceased was the
last of a large and distinguished family.
Friday evening at National Hall under
the auspices of the Board of Trade, an
entertainment was given to raise money
for the Johnstown sufferers. There was
alarge audience. The feature was Miss

tuitously, giving a number of her inimita-
ble reeitations. At the opening the lady
drew a picture' of the horrors in the fatal
Conemaugh valley by which, in :an hour,
thousands had lost their lives, and closed
with an imitation of the various styles in
which the young members of a school
class in reading treat classic poetry, cm-
ploying a half dozen stanzas from “Gray’s
Elegy” written in a country church yard,
The receipts which were large, will be
devoted entirely to the object named.

BEDDING.

There have been two cases of diphtheria
in town. Both patients are children under
ten years of age.

Sunday was observed as Children’s Day
at the Methodist church with appropriate
services. There was a beautiful adorn-
meat of fiOWers. ’

There is greatlsalisfaction over the pas—
sage by the Legislature of an act appro—
printing $20,608? to the Putnam Camp
Ground. This Will furnish means to put
it in good shape. The act is creditable to
the patriotism of the members of the Gen
eral Assembly.

Last week Monday evening William
Ashley, who was in the employment of
the Messrs. Grilling, at their lime-kiln
near Sanford Station, was killed on the
railroad between Sanford and Bedding
stations. It is supposed, that, being in-
toxicated, he lay down on the track, and
was cut to pieces.

Rev. W. J. Jennings, as pastor, and Mr.
H. B. Ramsey, as delegate, of the Congre-
gational church, attended, at Brooklield,
on Thursday of last week, the meeting of
the Fairfield East Consociatiou, which in-
stalled Rev. H. B. Mead pastor of the
Congregational church there, and dis—
missed Rev. N. T. Mcrwin from his pas—
torate of the Congregational church in
Trumbull.

Next Sunday the Centennial services
will be commenced at the Methodist
church. Rev. A. K. Sanford will preach
in the morning, and Rev. J. O. Manson ill
the evening. There'will be a platform
meeting on Monday at 2.30 p. m., in
charge of the presiding cider and several
speakers. At the close of the services a
free supper will be provided. Tire Con
gregational church and congregation have
accepted the invitation courteously given
to be present at the services. Their
church will not therefore be Lopcn next
Sunday.
