Mrs. Maybrick Guilty.

The conviction of Mrs. Maybrick by at
Liverpool jury and the sentence by the
judge that she “be banged by the neck
until dead,” has been received in this
country as in England, with surprise not
unminglcd with regret. The contempla-
tion of such a dire fate toa woman, young,
beautiful and interesting, having had all
the advantages of good education, high
social standing, extensive travel, wide ex
periencc and enjoyment of all the richer
and rarer prizes tlrat come to the gifted
and wealthy, lying under a sentence of
death so ignominious, awakes in every
breast a feeling of pity and commiseration
wholly withheld from the brutal and hard-
ened wretch who is doomed to cxpiatc his
crime on the scaffold. Yet is not this
Maybrick trial, which has so stirred up
the sympathies of two continents, aside
frorii all the terribly severe and almost
brutal condemnation uttered against her
by the tongue lashing judge, a forcible re-
minder of the fact that just such terrible
crime as is charged upon this wife and
mother, is an all too frequent consequence
and fearful judgment upon the apallingly
frequent exposures of those illicit marital
relations, which seem the curse of modern
socrety, and which for want of a better
name are called “lawless love?” A wide
andpniversal protest will go up against
the execution of so terrible a verdict, for
the reason that those who read the testi—
mony most carefully and intelligently,
aver that the case against her was not
clearly :IJI'OVCD. True, the wretched
woman frankly and unreservedly confessed
her criminal infidelity to her husband, the
severest, direst and most degrading admis-
sion any intelligent wife and mother can
make, yet to the end she protested her
innocence of the crime of murder, as
charged. The incident of her terrible
confession, instead of adding any weight
of credence to her protestations of inno—
cence, seems to have so embittered the
judge against her that he entirely lost his
head and poured out the vials of his
wrathful indignation with the abandon of
a cowardly bully. Undoubted evidence
showed Maybrick to have been a chronic
arsenic eater. Eminent physicians testi-
fied that he had not died of poison at all.
Every circumstance that could exculpate
the wretched, woman was so admirably
drawn on that the un versal world seemed
to expect a verdictoi acquittal. Never-
theless, and although the evidence was so
skillfully presented and seemingly made
urizinswerable, the one fact admitted by
herself, that she had a paramour she loved
better than her agedand decrepit husband,
so wrought upon judge and jury that they
found the weight of probability so strong
on the other side, that in their judgment
it amounted to a moral certainty of the
woman’s guilt. And is not this after all,
(unjust and cruel though in this case it
may be) a tribute to that boiler and “high-
er law,” which down deep in every pure,
human heart, asserts itself for the sancrty
of the home, the chastity of the fireside,
absolute fidelity to parentage and the
strictest loyalty to marital obligations ? In
this aspect of the terrible case, it may not
prove so much a shock and injury to so-
ciety, as a blessing. And yet, sympathy
wide and deep will go out spontaneously
for this young and beautiful woman, a
conceded social favorite in the higher
society of both England and America, now
resting under so terrible an accusation and
by the forms of law convrcted of so terri-
ble :1 crime, and languishing in a felon’s
cell, with her life in such fearful jeopardy.
Heaven forfend from another such a re-
VOiblng‘ case.

The evil genius of high living on low sal -
aries, of dcfalcations on theoiic hand to
make good deficrts on the other, seems to
be abroad iii the land.

$2000) and elopes with a variety actress,
and E. S Swain, sheriff of I’aulding
county, Ohio, has resigned with a large
balance against him on the wrong side of
the ledger.

This is only a partial list, gleaned from a
cursory glance at one day’s paper. It is a
melancholy showing when shown in a
group. Yet it must be i‘ccollected that
this is a Very large country, and that
while speculations and torgerii s startle us
wrtir their apparent frequency, the vast
majority of people in and out of official

NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 14, 1889.

EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12, 89.

DEAR GAZETTE:——Washington has long
since ceased to be an uninteresting place
even in mid-summer. Time was, when
after the adjghrnment of Congress, the
National Capitol was about the stupidest
plaqgron the footstool. Now, however,
all this is at an end. There is conceded
to be more building's going on here than
in any-other city of the Union, without
regard to size or population. Then near-
ly allithe bricks and the tile pipes, and
muchi'pf the interior fancy wood-work fin-
ish gding into the construction of new
cditicfis are manufactured in or near llre
City. It is an exceptionally advantageous
placezfcr brick and tile working, as the
site‘sgthc city and for miles around, the
soil'ijsylar'gely' f the finest clays, and few
place"... itliis country offer so great ad-
vant ‘ ' for the creation of almost any
i : :necessrty that can be produced by
N? [unskilled labor. Plenty of good,
steaf "colored men laborers, can be had
here for from fifty cents to seventy-five
per day. They are slow and unskilled it
is true, but in the main faithful and plod-
ding and eager to accept. any pay that is
offered them. So too in regard towornen
help; very indifferent and plain SeWers
can be had here for almost any price,
while really good sewers are scarce, and
really first-class kitchen help, of which in
old slavery days, there was a surfeit, can
rarely be procured here, at any
price. Any enterprisingYankee who will
start any sort of a manufactory here that
can use unskilled labor to advantage and
into whose products a large percentage of
labor is involved, would soon be on the
road to fame and fortune, so much greater
is the supply of such labor here, than the
demand. Your correspondent met yes-
terday a colored preacher, formerly from
Hartford, but who Came here several
years ago and by force of character and
pinching economy, worked his way
through the theological department of
Howard University, who stated that get-
ting little or nothing from the Missron
church where he preached, he had tramped
the streets here since last March trying to
get any kind of work to do and at fifty
cents a day, but owing to the fact that
there were so many hundreds of idle col-
ored men in and about the crty, he was
unable to get work. Yet this man is hale
and vigorous and if he could get back to
Corrrrccticnt with his family could easily
earn a dollar and a half per day. Young
white girls and lads, are found in abund-
ance, willing to accept places tiresome and
the most menial, in stores and shops at
twenty-five cents per day. Much of this
unfortunate condition. of the labor classes
is due to the rigid trades union rules
which seek by every possible means to
prevent boys from learning a trade. Thus
prevented and rendered unable to become
skilled workmen,tens of thousands of boys
in our towns and cities are made idle,
thriftless loafers and hammers, and soon
or late end up a career for whichthey are
not altogether blamable, in the work-
houses and prisons of our land. Is there
not something in this condition of Amer-
ican society worthy the serious considera.
tion of the philanthropist ?

The city commissioners here are en-
gaged in one local reform of special inter-
est to Norwalk. They have ceased to
longer pave and utilize the wide road-beds
of the exceptionally wide avenues and
streets. Where a horse our track does not
use up a wide section of the traveled por-
tion of the street, they either park the cen-
ter or extendtlie Sidewalks out on either
side, so as to restrict the traveled road-
bed to only about twenty feet. On New
York avenue; and Pennsylvania avenue
east of the capitol, the horse car tracks
are in the center and on either side of
these tracks between all cross streets from
ten to fifteen feet of sodded parking is
laid down and lined with shade trees.
This is a very pretty feature. On East
Capitol street whrlc the old building lines
are kept intact, owners of property on
either side, are permitted to extend out
a front door yard of fifty feet, when the
sidewalks are laid from these yard line
fences out to the gutters. Four and a half
street from Pennsylvania avenue up to
City Hall and on which the great M. E.
Metropolitan and Dr. Sunderland’s
churches stand, is now being repaired
with conglomerate paving blocks, and to
lessen the cost of paving and the space to
be paved, the sidewalks on either side are
being extended out fifteen feet and the
space of the old walk is to be sodded and
a line of trees planted. The beauty of
these novel features must be apparent to
everyone. But beauty is not the only or
the most important consideration. It has
been established, so the commoner engi-
neer asserts, that twenty to thirty feet of
actual road-bed for all ordinary streets is
an abundant space for team travel and the
attempt to pave and keep in repair a
wider road-bed space is a foolish waste of
the public money. Is there not some-
thing here for our highway philosophers
at home to consider? A chapter on the
niacadam system of country or gravel
road working in the last number of [Ito--
per’s ll'eckly, would also repay perusal by
those interested in better and cheaper
roads in Norwalk.

 
 
 
 
 

SENATOR STANFonD’s ALLEGED SON-lN-LAW.

The State Department has been inform-
ed of the death of Thomas Brian Gunning
in Chilion June 12. From papers found
on his person it appears that he belonged
at Norwalk. Conn.; that in December,
1888, he had been arrested for maltreat—
ment of his wife and released on bonds of
$200. Gunning arrived in the Argentine
Republic from Europe in January last,
and told afriend that he had married an
’adOpted daughter of United States Senator
Leland Stan-ford, and that his father was
”a prominent surgeon in New York state.

 

The above will be readily and correctly

 

 

interpreted by the home reader. The land when the scholars were given a pic-

news which reached the State Department
here on Friday would seem conclusive of
the fact that the erratic, if not insane ca-
reer of Thomas B. Gunning, was at an
end. The sadder story of the poor wife
has already stirred the tenderest Sympa-
thics of our townspeople. She was a
daughter of a sister of Mrs. Senator Stan-
ford and after the death of the Senator‘s
only son and heir, Mrs. Gunning who was
a favorite with the Senator, was invited to
his home in California. Her subsequent
marriage to the wild and reckless Gnu-
ning was every way displeasing to her
family and especially to the Senator who
had, it is stated, provided a legacy of
$300,000 for her in his will. On the Serra-
tor and Mrs. Stanford’s return from Eu—
rope last year, Mr. Gunning and wife met.
them in New York and the visrt ended in
a distressing and unseemly row, by
reason,as is alleged, Of Gunning iiisolenily
demanding money from the Senator and
the wife, as the story ran, intemperalely
seconding his demands. ThereirpOn,
as was stated, the Senator imme-
diately sought his lawyer and had
his bequest to Mrs. Gunning stricken cut
of his will. It cannot be other than a
kind providence that has thus ended so
distressing a career as young Gunning’s
ever has been. His fathe' was an Eug-
lishman by birth and a noted dental sur-
geon in New York and was always deem-
ed “queer” if not slightly insane by those
who knew him best. He amassed a for-
tune in his profession and was unques-
tionably a very superior dental practi-
tioner and scientist. He it was who made
the remarkable mechanical device, which
held the broken jaw of Secretary Seward
infplace and permitted the free exercise
of the socket joint and muscles, where the
jaw unites with the cheek bones. It was
this instrument made largely of steel wires
that saved the life of the secretary by ur-
resting the blow aimed by the assassin
Paine wrth his dagger, at Mr. Seward’s
throat. Paine’s intent was to stab the
secretary as;he lay on his sick bed, in the
neck and sever the jugular vein. Dr.
Gunning’s wire screen or case concealed
by a napkin, caught the dagger’s point
and Mr. Seward escaped with only a se-
vere gash just below the car, and which
strange to relate pierced a hidden and un-
known abSOess, and as his surgeons stated
at the time, thus providentially spared
him untold agonies and probably his life.

Dr. Gunning married a sister of Mrs.~

James Reed, a Miss Jessup of Wilton, and
the two young Gunnings who have filled
so great a space in the minds of Nor-walk
people, were the fruit of the union. It is
due to Thomas to say, that':from his -..ear-
liest boyhood, his parents and intimate
friends, had a dread and fear that there
was an element of insanity in him which
at times left them convinced the boy was
not accountable for his many str’ange
freaks, conceits and actions. Certain it
is that. neither father or son was mentally
sound and normally Well balanced in
mind and conduct.
NAPTIIA LAUNCHES.

The terrible accident to the Crocker
pleasure yacht on Lake Erie last Wednes-
day, by which four lives were lost and
others seriously if not fatally injured, has
been brought to the attention of Gen. Du-
rant, the government supervising inspec-
tor of steam vessels. He is said to con-
demn the use of naptha or gasoline, either
on boats, in stoves, or for illumination, as
a volatile and explosive agent of the great-
est danger and hazard. Its use by ama-
tours for the propulsion of launches and
pleasure yachts, he looks rrpon with the
most serious apprehension and it is
thought he will urge Congress to enact a
law interdicting its use for such purposes.

PENSION OFFICE.

Secretary Noble has directed the corn-
mission investigating the rc-rating of pen-
sions in the Pension Office to continue its
work. The commission have completed
a comparison of the number of re—ratirigs
in the month of December, 1888, under
Gen. Black, andzthc month of May 1889,
under Commissioner Tanner, and have
submitted to Secretary Noble a prelimi-
nary report of their work, which is not to
be made public at present. The commis-
sion will not conclude its investigations
for Several weeks.

FUNNY, isx’T IT?

The clamor that democratic papers and
orators sent up pending the Cleveland
campaign about the “shortage,” the “de-
ficit,” the “dcfalcation,” the “steal” in the
United States Treasury, that would be re-
vealed just as soon as the democrats got
achance to count the monoy,aud the result-
ing count and “deficit” of just two cents
(that were afterwards found loose on the
floor of the vault) had a comical turn
given it on the final settlement of ex-
Trcasurcr Hyatt’s accounts a week ago.
He was found to be short twentythree
dollars, and had to make it good out of
his own pocket, though some innocent
error in the book-keeping readily ex-
plained ital], and sometime in the dim
and distant future our friend Hyatt is
likely to be informed that a balance of
twenty—three dollars is lying to his credit
in the treasury of the United States. Still,
isn’t it a funny answer to the old demo-
cratic bowl of Republican “deficiency,”
when after administering the treasury for
twenty-five years, only two cents were
found wanting and after only four years
of democratic rule twenty-three dollars,
serenely bob up missing ?

WATnaMELONS FOR Picnics.

The local press here are interested
enough in reform and novelties to fully
report a watermelon Sunday school pic-
nic over in Virginia. Col.
Johnson,- of the Pension Office, is
the superintendent of the Presby-

 

terian Sunday school at Farmwell, Va.,

V. M..

nic a few days ago they were provided
with a watermelon feast through the lib-
erality of the clerks of Colonel Johnson’s
division. There Were more than enough
melons for the hundred children present,
and not. a case of colic has been reported.
Some one has offered a reward of $500 for
the firs tauthenticatcd case of illness caused
by eating a cucumber fresh from the vines.
This reward might safely be doubled Efor
any well authenticated case of the eating
of a watermelon that Was not stale, mak-
ing anybody sick. Indeed no healthier
product of the garden and farm is grown
if eaten fresh and fully ripe. At the
South they are eaten in enormous quanti~
ties and deemed the best remedy extant
for kidney any kind red ailments. If there
were more melons eaten and less ice and
unfiltered river water drank, there would
be less sunstroke, calculi, Brights disease,
diabetes and kindred ills. But what a
picnic those one hundred Sunday school
urchins must have had over that car—load
of red, ripe, succulent and thirst quench-
ing watermelons, eh ?
A THOUSAND MILES ox wnEELs.

Nearly a month ago three young men
of Jacksonville, Ill. J. B. Johnson, Ir—
win Woods, and Arthur II. Woods—all
expert bicyclers, mounted their wheels in
their native. city and setoutfor a run across
country. Thursday they reached Wash-
ington after having been twenty-three
days on the road and having traveled 1,000
miles. They are greatly pleased with
their trip, and are feeling in much better
health than when they set out on their
run. A delightful time was had while on
the road,and many places of interest. were
visited by them. They passed through
Indianapolis and Richmond, Ind., Spring-
field, Columbus and Zanesville, Ohio,
Wheeling, W. Va., BrOWusvillc, I’a.,
Cumberland, Ilagerstown, and Rockville,
Md. The riders are very enthusiasric over
their trip, and say that they found the
roads in a very good condition as a gen-
eral rule.

Two thousand excursionists from the
quaint, old Dutch settled town of York,
Pa., arrived in Washington about noon
Thursday and left for home the same
night.

Patent Commissioner Mitchell has gone
to his home at New Britain for a short

An Interesting Speech.

Harry W. Latliam, Esq., now a jurist of
Los Angeles, California, but formerly a
valued pupil in the Sellcck school and, for
several years, the captain of the Nymph
Club in its navy, made a highly eloquent
and patriotic oration at the celebration,
July 4th last, in Norwalk, California.
This oration, which is issued as a supple-
ment to one of the California papers, con-
tains the following local allusion :—

“Tlre declaration of Independence
raised a nation, created a people, and
formed awall about them far more un-
yielding than the great wall of the Orient.
* * * With one cry the truth was told,
freedom and liberty were born, and the
struggle began. Inch by inch, step by
step, up heights made gory by blood “the
martyrs” fought their way. * * * Your
own town recalls another Norwallc, bathed
in the blood of those who fearlessly died
for the rights which their constituted
representatives had hurled in defiance
into the hostile houses of legislating
lords. The spring of 1779 was back-
ward. Nature, ever sympathetic with the
woes of men, seemed loath to lay aside
the mourning garb of winter and the very
atmosphere was burdened with rumors of
war and fears of catastrophe. On the
banks Ofa little river flowing into Long
Island Sound, hid amid the wide spread—
ing elms, our mother village, Norwalk,
stood. Just one hundred and ten years
ago this very week the storm cloud burst.
It was not ajoyful day as the farmer-folk
gathered to go to the common meadow.
Three years of the war had passed, and
unmolested they lived their quiet lives
until this morning, when their gathering
was suddenly disturbed by the sound of
cannonading. A rush for the hills fol-

lowed. VVinding tip the river came the
British sloops. Hurricd attempts were
made to organize and meet the enemy.
Brooking no hindrance, on they came,
lire, flame and boodshed in their wake;
their commander, another Nero, directing
the destruction from a convenient hill.
No quarter given, rune was asked, and
the day was passed; and at night that
once beautiful town had disappeared.
* * * Dare any man suggest: “Why
this yearly festival ?” The reason of it all
is self evident.”

Mr. Latham, the orator of the day, and
whose address fills nearly seven newspaper
columns, is a. grandson of the late P. C.
Calhoun, president of the Fourth National
'Bank, New York City, and his mother
and grandmother reside in the handsome
Calhoun mansion on Golden Hill, Bridge-
port. He was one of the most excellent
and promising pupils: upon the Selleck
school’s entire roll call, and his many
Norwalk friends will be happy to learn
that he is already one of the most dis-
tinguished young professional men upon
the Pacific coast.

 

 

 

Caukeen Lyrics.

, Eu. GAZETTE :-—Somc three years ago
you and I passed a delightful day upon
old Caukeen. For several years the gentle-
man who entertained us, has camped
there with his family. Last month I vis-
ited the island again, and was his guest
for a day or two. Looking over the camp
log books, which run back to 1883, I
found here and there an original camp
song, which I took the liberty to copy. I
send you some of them which you are at
liberty to print. CRUISER.

“DOWN ON OLD cannons.”
Down on old Caukeen
Where the billows roar,
Many a. gay and jolly scene
Genres to me o’er and o’er.

0 those lovely nights 1
Camp tires on the shore l
Moonlight walks, my heart delights
To tell thorn 'o’er and oo’r.

Song and dance and fun,
Camping by the sea ;

Ne’er was seen beneath the sun
80 jolly a. band as we.

Up from old Caukeeii,
Where the breezes blow,
Comes to me each jolly scene

01' camping long ago.

OLD CAUKEEN GOOD Bria.
All things sweet must end,
Pleasures fade and fly ;
Shadows with the sunshine blend,
Old Caukeen, good bye !

Happy days and nights
Swiitly did yo fly,

Ended are our camp delights,
Old Caukeen, good bye.

“ Bluff” and “ signal post,”
Clouds that seaward fly;

Scrubs and spots I love the most.
Old Caukeen. good bye.

Cottage on the bay,
“Nook” on beach hard by,
0 how dear are ye to-day,
Old Caukoen, good bye.

Mud and storm and wave ;
Land and sea. and sky ;

Sunrise gay and sunset grave,
Old Caukeen, good bye.

SONG OF THE WAVES.
Come l come i that’s what the waves say ;
Come l come i onward we go 5
Over the sea.
Dancing and free,
Only the wild birds our pathway know.

Low l low ! that’s what the waves say;
Low 1 low! rippling in play ;

Sea shells so white,

Sparkling and free,
Borne from the sea caves far far away.

Break! break 1 that’s what the waves say:
- Break 1 break l storm winds arise ;
Billows are nigh,
Tossing on high,
Dark clouds hang low in the angry skies.
