The killing of ex-Judge David S. Terry in California last week, is one of the most sensational tragedies in our history. Our older readers will recall his cold-blooded, deliberately prepared and fully premeditated murder of U. S. Senator Broderick more than a quarter of a century ago. Both Were prominent and influential members of the Pacific coast democracy. Broderick, who was the son of an Irish stone cutter, and who had wrought on the finely carved columns adorning the U. S. Senate chamber, to which the new state of California .had sent the mechanic’s boy, was bitterly hostile to the extension of human slavery. “Duke” Gwin, Terry and others of like ilk, were determined that slavery should spread over the Golden State. Broderick had right and the hearts of the people on his side, and when it was found that his hostility to the extension of the accursed institution could not be curbed, his murder was determined upon. A quarrel with him was pro-arranged and, as Terry was known to be an unerring shot, he it was who was assigned as a sub- stitute to the instigator of the insult leading to Broderick’s acceptance of the challenge. The rest will be recalled. Broderick, who knew he was to be murdered, did not raise his pistol but shot his bullet into the ground, while Terry shot him fatally at the first fire, and his last words were: “They have killed me because I was opposed to slavery and a corrupt administration.” The surpassingly eloquent tribute paid Broderick by his friend, Senator Baker, of OregOn, and the withering inVective poured out upon the head of Terry was so crushing that he never was able to recover the lead and supremacy he had previously held in the councils of his party and in the public favor. His career had ever since been a cruel and tumultuous one, and his taking off was in keeping with his life. Himself a slayer of men, he met the fate that befel his own victim. The end of so vicious and brutal a life will be no loss to the dignity and peace of his state, but rather it will be a relief to the whole Pacific coast, which he was wont to infest with his murderous pres- ence. The U. S. marshal, charged with the duty of protecting the person of Justice Field, may have been too ready in the use of his pistol, but knowing the character of the man and his threats 01 taking the life. of the U. S. Justice, no jury will be found to seriously censure his act. Terry’s gross assault was no doubt deliberately designed to so humiliate and enrage the justice as to provoke such retaliation as would give excuse for promptly taking his life. The whole case is full of the most startling features Our readers will remember the long fight of the notoriously bad woman, Sarah Althea Hill in her claim, of having been the wife of the dead millionaire, Senator Sllarou ; of the part Justice Field took in the trial; of the work and conduct in court of ex-Judge Terry, and finally of the marriage of the plaintiff and her counsel. The bitterness aroused in that remarkable scandal has never dwindled. Terry and his wife met Justice Field, who was accompanied by and under the protection of Deputy United States Marshal Nagle at a railway restau- rant. Terry advanced to the justice and slapped his face. As he was about- to strike asecond time Nagle shot him dead. The marshal undoubtedly shot because he be- lieved Terry meant to kill Justice Field. There was cause for this belief in the fact that threats had been made and bitter en- mity existed between ex-Judge Terry and Justice Field, and, if ever tried, the marshal will be acquitted for having done his duty. It was a most fortunate termination, tragic and sensational as it is in all its aspects, and is another verification of the scriptural pre- cept that “they who draw the sword shall perish by the sword.” For U. 8. Senator. There is a strong movement on foot in Connecticut to have Samuel Fessenden of Stamford elected to succeed Mr. Platt in the United States Senate in March, 1891, and the bodily injuries which he received lust week while on a yachting expedition with Senator Quay are therefore a matter of more than usual popular interest in his state. Mr. Fessenden has served with much credit as secretary of the Republican national committee. The reasou of Mr. Platt’s proposed retirement, it should be said, is not any dissatisfaction his constit- utents feel with his course, but a rule. prevailing with but one exception since the state was organized, that no Senator shall serve it longer than two terms. The only case in which a third term was per- mitted goes back to the beginning of the present century, and therefore is consid- ered to have little weight as a precedent. ——Washington Star. We do not know the source of the Washington Star’s information, but we do know that if Senator Platt should decline a nomination for a third term, both Fair- field and Litchfield counties would go up to the Legislature with a practically unan- imous Republican vote for Fessenden, and if the Legislature should be in our hands, as it is most likely to be, his vote in all other parts of the state would be so overwhelming as "practically to preclude the candidacy of any other new aspirant for Senatorial honors. Powderly on Prohibition. “I am in favor of the adoption of the prohibition amendment for the reason that the experience of a life time has demonstrated that drunkenness is the cause of more poverty than anything else that can be named .— Grand Master Work- man, T.

BY ROSIE ROWE, OUR RANDOM RAMBLER. ’Tis consoling to know the Duah con- tributor of the Record still exists and that his “sour krout” still exerts its odorifer- ous influence. But how bold he is grown! And with what cool assurance he asks, “Rosie, how old are you f" Some there be of the gentler sex who would resent such an impudent query with vehement indignation. But I do not. I’m just too old to get angry with a fool, and just too young to believe there’s not as good fish in the sea as ever was caught. “Sour Krout” says: “Her vaporings sometimes lead us to think she has seen four score years and ten and is in her dotage, and again she writes like a giddy school gir .” It is as difficult to judge ofone’s age by one’s writings, as to tell just how much squeez- ing is done at a moonlight picnic by the number of lemon peels found scattered about after it is over. If Mr. “Krout” has intentions, and those intentions are hon- orable, 1 have no objections to assuring him that I am not too young, but just too young to be burdensome; and not too old, but just too old to be giddy. 3k * * That was a good suggestion in last week’s, GAZETTE concerning the unwisdom oflocating the band on the kitty~cornered and hemmed-in roof of the Donovan build- ing for open air concerts. The same la- mentable mistake was made on Monday evening when Heine‘s band gave a most enjoyable concert from the same hen-roost. The high walls and projecting roof which nearly surrounded the musicians, percept- ibly and in some instances distressingly marred the effect of the music and jum- bled the harmony, and in the cases of some of the andaute selections the music could hardly be heard a hundred yards , from the “stand” on Main street. The arrangement is unjust to the musicians and sometimes distressing to trained ears. Why not station the band on one of our Greens when we have the next concert ? It will be not only much more comfortable for the listeners but more like justice to the band. if! * at The open horse cars are a luxury—in Danbury and other enterprising towns. They would be here, too, if we had them. at: * * The Sour Krout man whines because Editor Betts crowded out his mess of sour krout week before last “to make room for more interesting matter.” It was one of the best things Editor Betts has done since he became editor of the Record, and if he would persist in “crowding” per- haps Sour Krout might find time enough to take a hoe and shovel and clean off the dirty crosswalks, and thus not only earn there. Within a short time I have seen three drunken men, two cows and one old white horse strewn about that unin- closed but nightly plot. I am told that the most disgraceful orgies taking place anywhere about our village are enacted in the rear of that grave yard. -~ The few stones standing at all are so blackened and awry that it gives one the ague to look at them. To make matters worse the borough authorities have removed the electric light down opposite it, which make its hideous condition the more un- bearhble at night time. If I lived where the devout and revered Rev. Mr. Bissell does, 1 would about die of haunted hor- rors, and should want aChinese wall put up in front of mywindows. About the only cheerful front outlook, to the once beauti- ful Bissell'mansion is to see the poor thirsty horses slake their thirst at the not over nice water tank. But why can’t these graves be removed to where they will be decently cared for? It is distressing to think that human beings, dear to some one, and some to many, are so soon for- gotten when dead. Do, somebody re- move these neglected graves. ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS. Miss Welton is visiting her friend, Mrs. Legrand C. Betts. Mrs. Joseph Hubbell is visiting Mrs. Fred. Betts, on the church green.

Sister set him out a dish of cold baked beans and a sandwich. He inspected the collation for an instant, then haughtily handed it back with the remark: “Madam, as a'jphilanthropist you may mean well enough, but as a caterer you are Open to criticism. Your contribution is respectfully declined with thanks. Ice cream, custard pie and pale do foigras are good enough for me.” And as he. went stalking majestically out of the yard sis- ter turned back into the kitchen, began to cry and threw the “contribution” spite. fully into a pan of dough, spoilingawhole baking of pastry.

All master masons are requested to be present. A local paper last. week contained a per- sonal paragraph announcing that a certain young lady, (a servant girl in a West aven- no family, by the way,) was visiting some. body out of town, and behold! the Nor- walk society news in the Sunday Press contained the same item about the same servant girl. “Jack” Walsh, of the Waterbury Her- ald, stopped in town on Thursday evening, being en route to Danbury where it was suspected his mission was to hunt down “Jack the Lighter”| for the enterprising Herald. As no fires have been reported since that time it is to be presumed the two Jacks left town together. A happy wedding, and one which was followed by the benediction of a host of wellwishing friends of both parties, was that which made Frederick Buckley and Miss Belle' I. Glover husband and wife, on Wednesday evening of this week. The ceremony was performed at the real. dence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Glover, on West Main street, by the Rev. C. E. Torrey, of the Baptist church, in the presence of a party of in- vited guests. The house was elaborately and appropriately decorated with fragrant flowers, and the simple ceremony passed off withouta feature that could in any wise mar its beauty. At the conclusmn of the wedding service the bridal couple departed on a tour to last about two weeks, during which they will visit Sara- toga and other points of interest. The guests partook of a delightful feast pre. pared by Caterer Mead. The display of presents was rich, elegant and various.— Record. Miss Frances Bennett Galloway, whose lectures have been received in New Haven, Stamford Buffalo and other cities with so much favor, and who is also known as the author of a charming book entitled “Hints to a Silent Friend,” passed a day at Hill. side last week. We are informed that Miss Callaway is engaged to lecture in Mrs. Mead’s Hillside school next Novem- ber. Gen. Chas. Olmstead has been doing a good work for the borough. for the health of our people and the better looks of our village, in the tree trimming he has done. Many people of course, have felt a little nervous about having their trees “officially" trimmed, but the good judgment exercised by Gen. 0. has brought down only bless- ings on his and our borough ofiicials’ heads. There were 6,000 persons at the Butch- ers’ barbecue in Norwalk and yet the South Norwalk Sentinel would have us consumed by that thirsty crowd. This would be equal to about 13,500 glasses of beer, averaging 125 to a keg. That’s too thin, neighbor l—Portchester Journal. Camp seems to speak knowingly of the capacity of a keg of beer, but he evident- ly has the Portchester standard in mind when he refers to the capacity of the Nor- walk beer drinkers. As a matter of fact there were no less than 9,000 people at the barbecue, which reduces the percent- each person. This suggests the conun- drum, if at a Norwalk barbecue a man and a half drinks a glass and a half in a day, how many kegs would a Portchester man drink in the same time ? The editor of the Norwalk GAZETTE makes a painful attempt to show reason why the IRecord editor persists in seeing the snakes in a manner with which he is not familiar, and which seems to strike him as exceptional, that of seeing snakes on the desk, rather than in the boots.-—Portland Record. Fie! neighbor Bigelow. Snakes on the table are all right, if you like them that way. Your reputation for having snakes is by no means to be ashamed of.

By the by, if Del Reeves, your snake hunter, runs out of sarpints, Deacon “Ate” Hale, your near neighbor is abundantly capable of supplying you with a select and varied assortment of suaky yarns that will make your readers feel a crawling sensation up the spinal column. The Bethcl correspondent of the Dan- bury News says : “The Hon. P. T. Bar- num was born here July 5, 1810, and is not only the greatest showman of the age, but a good lecturer and a popular temper- ance advocate. Another one of Bethel’s honored sons was Orris S. Ferry, who was born here August 15, 1823. He grad- uated at Yale College and settled at Nor- walk in the practice of law. He was a. member of congress one term, and a col- onel and brigadier-general of volunteers in the late war. He took his seat in the United States Senate in 1867, and was re- elected in 1872 for a six years’ term. He died in 1876. These two gentlemen are by no means all of Betbel’s honored sons, for the bar and pulpits of the country have re- ceived from Bethel some of their brightest ornaments. The names of Hickok, Nich' ols, Seeley, Ferry and Barnum complete a list of names of men who have been great in many things.” A few weeks ago Eben S. Allen was a street railway president in New York city, with all that that implies; now he is a con- vict in Sing Sing prison, with (if he lives) fourteen years of captivity before him, less the usual deduction for good behav— ior. The metropolitan papers generally applaud the severity of Judge Gilder- sleeve’s sentence in the case, the Tribune describing it as “an invigorating display of justice” which may reasonably be ex- pected to “exercise a salutary effect upon the morale of the business communty.’. The Press, however, predicts that by 1893 somebody will get up a petition in Allen’s favor, setting forth that he has suffered enough and should be pardoned, which petition the other New Yorkers will sign after their usual obligi-ng fashion. “Don’t worry, Mr. Allen," says the Press. “The fools and mollusks will get you out after a wliile."—Uourant. Meantime Norwalkers must possess their souls in patience for the fools and mollusks to get Allen out before work will be pushed with any degree of vigor on the proposed new horse railway which was to form an iron cobweb all through the town, and in which scheme Allen was the principal mover.

Mr. Gunning had six young colts on his ranch at Wilton, which were not allowed to grow and thrive in the natural way, but he had them immediately after birth taken into his stone poultry house, and there fed with milk from cows, claim- ing that they would be all the better for such treatment. The colts grew apace, and when the collapse came, and a receiv- er was appointed by the court to take charge of Mr. G’s effects, the receiver found that the colts had outgrown the doorway, and were prisoners within four stone walls.

The dramatic season opens at the Opera House Tuesday evening next, 27th inst. with the beautiful and thrilling Irish drama, Shamus O’Brien which is deserv- ing of a crowded house. The many im- provements wrought in the Opera House will make it one of the most convenient in the county, and as the management is in the able hands of S. K. Stanley, it is difficult to conjecture any reason why the coming season should not be a successful one. It is said that a bill makingJan. 19, the birthday of Gen. R. E.

Did you ever see Sheriff Toner looking handsomer than he did on Thursday while heading the Knights of Columbus parade as grand marshal? Ordinarily he wouldn’t be picked out of a crowd as a prize beauty, but on this occasion, decor- ated with his long red sash, and mounted on his prancing, dancing steed, which he bestrode with the grace of a veritable centaur, he cut an imposing figure. All he lacked to make him resemble “Bifialo Bull” were leather leggings, more back hair, a big goatee, and a heavy breath with whiskey-cocktails in it. His aides. too, Messrs.

Our brave ‘Sojer boys” got up early Monday morning, put on the state’s clothes and hurried to the armory whence the two companies, F and D, marched with measured tread to the depot and got left, the Special train having started out on time, whereas the soldiers were ten min- utes late. This little delay brought them to the state camp at Niantic about three hours after all the rest of the National Guard. Reports from Camp Bulkeley in- dicate a full gathering of the troops and the encampment of 1889 promises to be fully up to the standard. Editor F. C.

Smalley will find some good people in Bethe]. Frank Jones appeared in the opening attraction at Music Hall on Thursday even— ing, when “Si Perkins” was presented to a good sized audience. The play has been given in the Opera House several times. It has undergone considerable revision which may or may not be called an improvement. The play was written especially for J ones, and Jones was made especially for the play. The character of Si Perkins calls for just such an awkward, clumsy, unrefined bump— kin as Frank Jones unquestionably is, and he goes through the play with that blunder- ing, blunt, monotonous naturalness that the play requires, and which, with him, is un- avoidable, for Jones is as far from being an actor “as heaven is from Chicago," to use a trenchant Perkinsism ; nor is he a musician, notwithstanding his ability to torture a cor- net and a fiddle into discordant shrieks. He is simply a great big good—natured farmer, in whom Locke, the playwright, saw just the material for a catchy Yankee drama. It was like finding a bung-hole and build- ing a barrel around it, but Locke was equal to the task. __ . Neighbor Kelk, the Silver Mine corres- pondent of the Messenger, who knows more about roads than most of our “road agents.” writes :— A prominent bicycler from New Canaan passed through this way, Tuesday, on his way east, and no doubt he preferred the Silver Mine road to the old New Canaan road, for obvious reasons. But we wish that some of the authorities from the new borough could have come this way two weeks ago, for when they had arrived opposite the Castle place they would have had to sail through a lake extending entirely across the highway, and by actu- al measurement 150 feet in length, besides passing through a sea of mud in the ap- proach at each end, and continuing in varying degrees for many days. And this is the only way that the greater part of our people have to travel to church and school, and the annoyance comes year after year during the muddy season. All that is needed to remedy this is a proper drain across the street to the lower land west, and a slight raising of the road be- tween Mr. Wardwell’s and Mr. Beers’, after the plan carried out by W. L. James near his own house at the time' he was ,selectman of Norwalk. The barn belonging to the estate of the late S. E. Olmstead, located on Harbor avenue, was burned by an incendiary fire early Thursday morning. In the barn were two horses a loaded tea; wagon and other property belonging to Arthur Hubbs and ahorse, wagon, sleigh, tools, etc., the property of C. C. Brotherton. The horses vehicles and other articles were rescued but a lot of hay, grain, etc. on the second floor was destroyed. The firemen did good service and their efiorts without doubt saved adjoining property. The origin of the tire, like that of all incendi- ary fires, is wrapped in mystery. A black flag, “ five feet long and three feet wide ” was discovered fluttering from a rude stick near the top of a rough hill known as Terre Haute, Danbury, a few days ago, and immediately the public mind associated the gloomy rag with the fire-bug, and, morbidly charged as the public mind of Danbury is with horrible phantasies, it all once concluded that “the incendiaries, who have so many times de- vastated the property and menaced the lives of our citizens were adding gross in- sult to injury by flaunting within full view of many portions of the town, a token of defiance and threat.” As a matter of fact, the black flag was nailed there by Sam Lynes, of Norwalk, who while visiting his uncle, B. C. Lynes, made a tour ofex- ploration with one of Mr. Lynes’ children, and to please the child he tacked the black rag on the cliff to mark the height of their ascent. The rag was about 18 inches long and probably a foot wide. Danbury is very nervous. O LET.—_-Second story, seven rooms, No. 4 Elm street. :16 per month. 1tp MRS. J. E. BARBOUR; TO RENT.
