Norwalk a Gazelle 1800 ISTABLISKED, 3 A.H.BYIEGTON.BI1HOL l . RODEMEYER. ll. .ASSUtlalll A Chicago jury, passing upon a case of insanity, had a peculiar experience. The subject was a young man of 27, with an innocent, fresh face, of good breading and intelligent bearing. He told, what seemed a. chapter out of “Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde,” how for two years “gloomy spells” would come on when the impulse to mur- der, recognized by him all the time as an impulse to murder, would be next to ir- resistible, so over-mastering as to bring on nothing short of a. death-grapple with him- self. As the subject entered into the ghastly details “deep lines appeared in his cheaks beside his nose. The eyebrows fell dark and the corners of the mouth drew down. His forehead wrinkled up as an old man’s, and his voice actually changed so that a listener might have sup- posed that a man of 45 was talking The words came from deep down in his chest. lie bent forward in his chair, his should- ers stooped, and his eyes became watery.” So overcome were the jury at theiincunny sight that the judge intervened to stop him. The victim was startled by the interuption like a person suddenly waken- ed from a dream. “He looked up wildly, then fell back in his chair half exhausted. Tears ran down his cheeks, the wrinkles disappeared from his forehead, the fiendish expression vanished, and a minute more he was the young man, Harry Munzer, again, with the innocent face.” It took the jury but the shortest possible time to find him insane. oo-——-———-—-‘ The New Haven Palladium says: “It is proposed to extend the Shepaug road from Litchfield to Norfolk, where connec- tion will be made with the Hartford & Connecticut Western railroad. Arrange— ments are nearly completed for extending the road to the south from Hawleyville to Westport. When the line is completed Litclifield will be only three hours from New York and ,Lake Waramang will be one. hour and a half from this city and two hours and a half from New York. Several things are possible, in a railroad sense, but it is fair to presume that a road that will parallel the Housatonic and must necessarily draw largely from its source of support will naturally result in consol- idation. Which system will swallow up the other is problematica .” Postmaster-General Wanamaker, in view of the agitation regarding the con- dition of the New York post office, has made public the full report of the sub- committee which examined it. It declares that the building is absolutely unfit for use, both as to capacity, ventilation and health of the employees. The mortality among the men who do work on the first floor is said to be scandalous. Clerks and carriers have scarcely elbow room. The foulest odors exude from the basement, breeding disease and death among those compelled to labor in the building. It remains to be seen whether there is any substance to the rumor that the Rus- sian mission is to be tendered to Senator Hawley. “Our J 0c” has filled well every position to which he has ever been called, whether it be the front of the battle, the conduct of a centennial, or the champion- ing of momentous causes on the floor of the United States Senate. No one can doubt that he would prove splendidly equal to the duties of the post at St. Petersburg. Could Connecticut spare him? is the only question. Treasurer Huston on Thursday gave a receipt to ex-Treasurer Hyatt for $771,- 500,000, representing the amount of money and securities in the United States Treas- ury turned over by the latter to the form- er. Of the above sum $237,208,402 is actual cash, the remainder-includes United States bonds and the reserve fund. Over 1,700 new industries have been established since the first of June in the New South. Their influence in these den ocratic strongholds will be felt sooner or later, and will result in bringing these localities in greater sympathy and better harniOny with the North politically. It cannot be otherwise. The “slot” business threatens to paral- ch all the world’s great reforms. The Pittsburg law and order league had no sooner said that no more cigars should be sold on Sunday than a machine sprung up that shells one out every time you drOp in a nickel. Among other artists that Henry Abbey is to bring to this country the coming sea- son is the 1:3-year-old prodigy on the piano named Otto Hegner. He is said to Surpass young Josef Hofman, who created such a sensation in musical circles a year or so ago. -- The New Haven News says: “The Catholic Total Abstinence union of Con— moment, will soon publicly declare its opposition to Prohibition and its belief that moral suasion is the true solution of the temperance question.” .9.— The total acreage of corn in the United States as reported by the department of agriculture is over 77,000.

BY Rosru Rows, OUR RANDOM RAMBLER. The report that Geo. W. T. Sherman and his distinguished brother Senator John Sherman contemplate visiting the home of their ancestors in Norwalk this fal , it is hoped is true. The people of Norwalk would be glad to welcome them with some sort of demonstration, no doubt, which they would of course smilingly acknowl- edge,'notwithstanding that sort of thing has long since become a monotonous bore to both. The General, we are told, finds his greatest pleasure in these demonstra- tions, in the privilege of kissing the pretty girls, and no doubt our young ladies would willingly come forward to gratfy that very laudable propensity. I wouldn’t hesitate to step up and give him a rousing smack myself. * alt It Encouraged undoubtedly by the article in last week’s GAZETTE relating Sheriff Toner’s magnaminity to a tramp, a big, burly, tough looking “tourist” came to our house the other day and boldly informed my sister’s husband that he “wanted some- thing to eat.” Sister’s husband, who, as your readers are aware, has more of the practical than the sentimental in his make- up, shortly told his trampsliip that he could have a square meal by earning it. Mr. Tramp looked disappointed. but with an air Of half-impudeuce, assured my sis- ter’s husband that he would “be very glad indeed to work for you to earn a dinner providetl you give me a job at my own trade,” and on being questioned as to his occupation, he replied triumphantly : “I’m an undertaker and embalmer.” While sister’s husband was untying the bull-dog the tramp escaped. * * * Sam Jones says “the corset must be crushed.” My experience has taught me to believe that there are plenty of strong, vigorous young men throughout the length and breadth of our land who are willing to help crush it. a: * * The Rec-owl’s “sour krout” is working well toward an advanced stage of fermen- tation and the “Dutch contributor,” ex- hilarated by its fumes, waxes maudlin. When the fool killer comes around after those who worry him by warning the community against unsafe dams, the Dutch contributor himself should consult his own safety by jumping into his sour krout barrel and soaking his head in the brine. It can’t hurt the krout any, and may be a good thing for the head. a! * It: How about that contestofhorsemanship, to which your assistant editor and John Wade so fiercely challenged each other a few weeks ago ? It looks very much like a case of “one’s afraid and the other da’sn’t.” * * It My sister’s husband makes the observa- tion that the grocers on the corner of Wall and Water streets look remarkably like a couple of America’s most distinguished citizens—~Betts resembles Gov. Hill, of New York, and Farrington might easily pass for President Harrison. ’1' * 3|! Sister‘s husband, in speaking of the new “screen law” which went into effect on the first of this month, said he thought the saloons, on Sunday evening, in addition to being unscreencd, should be illuminated so the police can see the interior, as it is possible for persons to be in a dark room without being seen from the outside, even though there is no screen to obstruct the vision. at * It That new Republican man-may be a wild shooter, but just the same he seems to have caused a deal of “fluttering” for a random shot. For Sweet Charity’s Sake. Every Sunday morning, a bevy of pale faced girls and young women may be seen wending their way up East avenue to St. Paul’s church in orderly procession. They are from the farm so long owned by and the home of the venerable and respected John Osborn, and which has been sold to the church of the Holy Trinity of New York, and where a country home has been es- tablished for the poor, ill» and friendless waifs who may chance to come under the fostering care of its zealous mission work in the great city. Here, at this beautiful and healthful retreat, as many are sent up every week as the establishment can ac- commodate. Relays come and go every week, so that the greatest number possible may rest and enjoy the health giving and spirit reviving influences Of this beneficcnt charity, which godly men and women have so generously and thoughtfully es- tablished. In this connection the thought occurs to us to urge upon the consideration of the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. P. S. C. E. and other christian and humane workers to organize a local charity here in Norwalk, for the purpose of lifting out- of their degrading associa— tions scores upon scores of young child- ren who mainly on account of the intem- pernnce of one or both parents, are known to be surrounded by the most- baleful influences and conditions. Teaching such children tidy habits and wholesome ways of living, and to fortify and surround them with good influences, would be a boon unspeakable, as it would lead them to escape lives of wretchedness to which their present surroundings inevitably doom them. Who will move in this bene- ficent and sadly needed work ? —-——-——-+O-D————-— Women with pale, colorless faces, who feel weak and discouraged, will receive both-mental and bodily vigor by using Carter’s Iron Pills, which are made for the blood, nerves and complexion. GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 7, 1889. Obituary. E. B. PRICE. In the death of E. Bummer Pinon Norwalk again mourns the loss of one of her oldest and most reputable citizens. He entered into rest on Friday evening last at his residence on High street, ”after a long and painful illness, at the age of 74. Nearly fifty years ago he was a partner in the tombstone and marble business with his father, Edmond Price, on the hill op- posite the Sherry residence on Main street. He subsequently went to Purdy’s. Station, and continued in the same business there until the death of his father, when he again came to Norwalk and conducted his business in the building, now a part of the Simonds foundry, in the rear of the GAZETTE building. During a part of his business career here, he had our present monumental sculptor and stone-worker, Mr. P. W. Bates, as a partner. He manu- factured tombstones largely for the south as well as for the local market, and there are many “gardens of the dead” in North Carolina, Georgia and other southern states, as well as in Connecticut and New York, graced by his handiwork. He was a man of stem New England ideas of bus- iness integrity and uprightuess, and could not be made to swerve from his high‘ sense of honesty to promote his business inter- ests, and, as a consequence, he fell behind in the fierce competitions which the un- principled in these modern days are so prone to wage with men of principle. About two years ago he was st'ricken with paralysis, and the admonition \\ as deemed by him an unerring premonition that his days of activity and usefulness were at an end and only in the grave could rest for him be found. With an un- faltering faith he has since watched and waited for the summons to a higher and eternal life. He leaves a widow, two daughters and a son. He was a member of the First Congregational church and a‘so one of the original members of Our Brothers’ Lodge of Odd Fellows. His funeral took place Monday afternoon, and his remains were sepulchred in the fam. ily plot in Union Cemetery with those of his kindred “gone before.” His was a modest, pure and upright life, a far richer legacy to family and friends than “all the wealth of the Inches.” ~4+>——————-— The Storm. The “oldest inhabitant” has been trotted out again to remember a storm with so much water in it as the storm of this week, but he shook his head sadly and declined to remember. It rained constantly, with the exception of a few brief intervals, for just a week, and the volume of water that fell was tremendous. Considerable dam- age was done by the floods in various localities in this vicinity, but in no case hereabouts was the damage serious or productive of great loss or sufliering. An .idea of the volume of water that fell may be had from the fact that the Norwalk river rose to the 'height of four inches above the highest water-mark recorded within the past twenty-five years, accord- ing to the scale registered at the ,Union factory. During the hours from 8 to 12 on Thurs- day the river rose twenty-six inches. A large portion of the dock, back of the James block on Water street, was washed away. The river wall at the back of the Curtis store on Main street was also carried away, taking with it a portion of the rear foundation of the building and causing considerable alarm. Alarge amount of property in small articles was washed from the banks as the river rose, and barrels, boxes, ladders, wheel-barrows, tubs, etc., went whirling and tumbling down the harbor to the evident amusement of the multitude that crowded the bridge all the day. The roads in various places were badly washed, and in some spots travel was en- tirely shut off. The Riverside avenue and New Canaan roads were so deeply submerged that travel was suspended, and the only means of reaching New Canaan was by way of the Spring Hill road. On Wednesday afternoon work was suspended in the .Union and Winnipauk mills owing to the high water backing up into the race-way to such an extent as to prevent the working of the water-wheel. Washouts on the Danbury & Norwalk division delayed the early trains for a number of hours Thursday morning. Several false and alarming reports of evident weakening of the dams at the reservoirs and in the riVer at the mills caused no little uneasiness among some of our citizens, but those who knew the na~ ture and condition of the masonry at these points showed no concern and their confidence proved well grounded. The dams were visited by large numbers of people while the flood was at its height, and the sight of the immense body of water pouring and roaring over them was well worth witnessing. Several boats in the harbor were torn from their moorings and drifted down strewn—Record. +>—————»—~-—— We are glad to know our enterprising neighbor Prindle, of the Bridgeport News is going to build a parallel railroad, as stated in our Bridgeport letter, and the suggestion of our correspondent, that Prindle be made president, is a good one. Prindle is a hustler, and if the Consolidat- ed people attempt to head him off they will run up against the Conn. Press Asso- ciation with a dull, sickening thud. AA_ er Albert Gogler, a New Haven German, was arrested Friday night charged with brutally assaulting his daughter with a horse-whip. The girl states that Wednes- day night her fathcr demanded her wages and on not obtaining them locked her in a room. The girl was awakened about 3 o’clock by receiving a severe blow on the body from a horsewhip. She begged for mercy and cried loudly for help, but the father tore the clothes from her body and lashed her until she was cut and bruised his most horrible manner; The father then left. and the-girl dressed and sought refuge with friends who took her to police head-quarters where the physicians re- ported that her flesh was badly lacerated and that she muSt have suffered great pain. Among Our Factories. Two of the largest and most flourishing mills of Norwalk are the felt and cashmere mills of Winnipauk. These mills give em- ployment to alarge number of men and women, and the wages they receive goes to add materially to the wealth and pros- perity of Norwalk. A GAZETTE reporter paid a visit to these mills one afternoon recently, and was astonished to see so much activity in the works at this dull season of the year. Almost as large a number of operatives Were at work as are employed when trade is brisk. Tun FELT MILL Was the first visited. Mr. Boyer, one of the managers, kindly piloted us through it and showed us all the machinery from cellar to garret, and explained the different processes the wool went through to be made into felt. We watched each machine do its own peculiar work with much interest. The greater part of the wool they use is brought from Texas. It can be bought for about 16 cents per pound, but after the sand and grease are washed out of it, it loses about 35 per cent. of ,‘its weight, and therefore only 65 per cent. is fit for manufacturing pur- poses. The first process that the wool goes through is scouring. This is done by machinery, with the aid of alkalies and water. The wool is then dried by a hot air furnace-and then run through a picker which bites it tip into small pieces. Dif- ferent shades of wool and other material are then fed into the mixer. After hav- ing been run through the mixer it is then run through a cording machine called the first breaker and then fed right into an- other one called the second breaker, coming out of the first in coils, and out of the latter in small sheets. These sheets are then carried to a large machine called the former, which makes them into large sheets called forms, with about 25 yards in each. The forms are then run through a set of steam rollers called the hardener, which gives firmness to the felt. The sheets of felt are then put in a machine and thoroughly soaped. Then they are put into the pusher and worked back- ward and forward into folds which gives a body to the goods. It is then soaked in water and run through the whizzer, which extracts all the water, and then it is placed on the dryer, a large revolving drum fiilled with steam. The goods are then pressed by machinery and are ready for the market. The capicity of the mill is about 1,000 yards per day. One firm in New Haven, we were told, buys $100,000 worth of their felt annually. Their sales amount to hundreds of thousands of dol- lars per year. From seventy-five to one hundred hands are employed, and from $25,000 to $40,000 in wages are paid out every year. Tun CASHMERE MILL. The wool used in the manufacture of fine goods in this mill is principally im- ported from Australia and South America. The wool from these countries is finer than the domestic wool, and costs 45 cents per pound delivered at the mills. We were told that the South American wool is not shorn, but is removed by means of chemicals, as it is quicker done. The wool is washed, dried, and picked in about the same manner as at the felt mill. It then goes through a machine that picks all the burrs out. The wool is next oiled and dried and run through the feeder. It is then corded and made into fine threads and spooled. These Spools are taken to the spinner, who prepares them for the loom and they are then woven into cloth. There are about forty looms at work, and they are generally operated by women. The cloth after it is woven goes through a machine that takes all the fuzz off. It is then inspected by a girl who picks all the specks out with a pair of tweezers. It then goes through a brush machine and is again inspected; from the inspectors it goes through the pressing machine, then back through the brush machine again, then it passes through more inspections. It is then measured and packed, and sent to a commission house in New York who dispose of all the cloth made at this mill to wholesale dealers. It requires about six weeks to finish one piece of goods. None but the best of cloth is made at this mill. From 150 to 175 hands are employ— ed at this mill. The capacity of the mill is about 2,500 yards a Week. Not less than $50,000 a year is paid out in wages. The two mills thus pay out not less than $75,000 a year in wages, and a big per- centage of this finds its way into the pock- ets of our merchants. ____..,__._.__, The New Ballot. Secretary of State R. J. Walsh has issued the following “pointers” regarding the operation of the new ballot law: In compliance with the provisions of an act entitled “An Act Concerning Elec- tions,” being Chapter CCXLVII of the public laws passed by the general assembly at its January session, 188:) the following notice is hereby given : The type used in printing the ballots mentioned in said act shall be capital let- ters of ordinary Roman face book type, long primer size. .

For months past the ‘good spouse of slow~going Walter Fitch has been entreat- ing him to carry one of severalgreat casks of pure cider vinegar that graced and encumbered their cellar, down to the Bridge and sell the same to some thrifty grocer and if ht. could do no better, ex— change it for “trust” sugars, 7 lbs. for a $1. But poor Walter’s heart and mind was on how he was to get in his hay with all his cider turned to vinegar, so, as is his wont, he procrastinated. “Procrastina- tion is the thief of time” says the proverb and Walter has been despoiled-of his pro- perty so often of late by thieves that he never hears any unusual noise in the up and candle in one hand and shot gun in the other impetuously rushes for the point of sound and danger. A few nights since a most unusual sound aroused him from his profound and peaceful slumbers. It was a combined explosive and “swash," a sort of dynamite burst and hog grunt, and sounded immediately under the house. “All acuted as he was,” Walter flew out out of bed and rushed madly down cellar, shouting “thieves, robbers scat, get out! ” &c. &c., till he reached the bottom and stepped off into four inches of vinegar, when he shouted back to his wife, “The devil is to pay this time. The cellar is two feet deep with vinegar, come and help pull me out!” Sure enough the iron hoops on his great cask of vinegar had rusted off and with a thud it had burst the heads out and spread itselfall over the cellar bottom and pails of butter, jars of preserves and tubs of pickles were swimming about like a mad merry-go-round at a cattle show. The Fitch mansion soon got used to the odor of vinegar and peace reigned again above and below,and nothing disturbed Walter’s appetite or slumbers, till the heavy down- pour of rain came upon us all and parti- cularly upon poor Fitch. About 2 a. m. a terrific crash came down on his kitchen roof as if all the stone walls about the poor-house farm had been hurled down on the roof over his head. What in Heaven’s name has struck us now?" quoth Walter in terror. An investigation soon disclosed the deplorable fact that the deluging rain had disintegrated the mor- tar in his long length chimney and over the tall thing had toppled—erash—over his sleeping head. “Wife” said Walter, after peace and quiet had been restored at that midnight hour, “we’ve been struck down cellar, on top of the house, and what in great Caesar’s name do you think will happen to us next?” The next thing to happen, as our reporter is in- formed, was the advent of a. bevy of city urchins who are now raiding Walter’s sweet apple and pear trees. 4A_ er Er). GAZETTE :——When that lightning came on Saturday morning I was talking With the newspaper boy at our front gate, and facing the bolt. Apparently it came out of the clouds a few rods to the north of Jesse Denton’s house, moving easterly in a horizontal Zig zag course until seem- ingly over the junction of Arch street and Franklin avenue, when it bent down nearly straight and struck. The thunder, which followed was not a sharp clap, but a rattling one, not unlike a the fire of a large body of infantry at the opening of a battle. Such a. kind of thunder might have been expected, for it was the elec- tricity of that one bolt which was drawn 011’ and struck in at least a hundred differ- ent places, lying between the bridge and Franklin avenue. 0. — 7 —— BORN.
