Mr. Gunning Again. .
We have received from a GAZETTE sub-
scriber in Valparaiso, Chili, the following
communication relating to the recent
death of T. B. Gunning :
VALPABAISO, CHiLl,-'
July 12th, 1889.

ED. Guerra :-I send you by this mail
. the newspaper, Chilton Times, printed in
this city—in English—With an article
marked, referring to the death of Tom
Gunning. He perished in_ the Andes
mountains, (Cordilleras) on.his way over
. here from Buenos Ayres, 1n the Argen-
' tine Republic. A Mr..Goldsack and his
son were companions wrth him, and. the
former also lost his life. The son survrves,
and is now residing in Santiago, the capi-
tal city of this country. The. unfortunate
men were frozen to death, it being the
winter season when they attempted the
passage. Only the hardiest natives and
mail carriers, and now and then a reckless
traveler will attempt the crossing in this
season. Little or nothing of value has
been found on the bodies of Mr. Gunning
or Mr. Goldsack. It is not known here
what they had when they started from
Buenos Ayres. Neither money or valu-
ables having been found on their persons,
the bodies must have been robbed by the
natives who brought them in, but so far
asIknow there is yet no proof of this.
Mr. Gunning was ere about five years
ago, and behaved himself in a most unus-
ual manner, and many thought he was
slightly insane. The GAZETTE comes to
me regularly, and is a most welcome
guest. Yours faithfully, '
S. THOMPSON, Seamen’s Chaplain.

Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Lawton son have
returned from a two weeks’ sojourn at
Lake Wauramaug greatly benefitted in
health. ,

Our Stamford and Norwalk “book
maker” must be succeeding well as he
now wearsa gold chain and trinkets,and is
sought after on his arrival in town by the
newsboys, patrons of the saloon and
others.

A new and effectual remedy for malaria,
it is said, has been found especially adap-
ted to batters. It is “an extra dozen to
curl or finish per day.” A patent has
been applied for. .

Soldiers of the Fourth regiment, who
are to encamp at Niantic this week, had a
busy time to get ready, and we are pleased
to know that many provided themselves
with a supply of lemon juice from which

‘ to make drink, much preferring it to lager

beer or stronger liquids.

Valuable donations of books, pamphlets
and papers have from time to time been
made to the library of the Union Gospel
Temperance Reform Association, but none
have been so unexpected or unsolicited, or
caused so much comment, as that from
Rev. Mr. Delano, which contained chiefly
sketches of his sayings and writings, dat-
ing back some ten years, all of which are
marked with a blue pencil, and especially
the assertion “that the republican party
has a large and noble rank and file of well
meaning members, yet no party, but it
contains deluded and prejudiced voters.”
What a pity.

The meetings at the U. G. T. R. rooms
on the drawbridge continue with increas-

l ing numbers and interest. It is truly a

‘Homc, Sweet Home,” to many a re-

claimed man.

, To those who have not passed frequent-
E 1y by the old landmarks and properties of
l A. E. Beard, D. K. Nash and others, 10-
; cated on the hill, the change which has
2 been made in opening new streets, grad-
l ing the hill and building houses is certain-
ly remarkable. The land of J. J. Cape
has largely been thrown open, and build-
ings are being rapidly erected so that not
i" many years will elapse before the “hill”
E section will be a city by itself which can-
S not be hid.

Among the latest publications by the
state department is a report by Minister
‘ Denby upon the foreign trade of China,
giving some interesting figures. The
V value of the foreign within the control of
. he customs department for 1888 was
249,701,600 as against $216,841,450 for
, I 887. The customs revenue was $26,638,-
, 600, a gain of $3,016,650. The value of
he exports was $106,261,150, and for 1887
2 $96,269,650. Tea and silks made up two-
l thirds of the exports. Silk shows a de-
l crease in quantity, but slight increase in

l $143,500,450, a gain Of 12 per cent. over
‘ the previous year. The principal articles
,, were cotton and wool goods and metals.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

The New Discovery.

You have heard your friends and neigh-
bors talking about it. You may yourself
be one Of the many who know from per-
‘ onal experience just how good a thing it
:5. If you have ever tried it, you are one
of its staunch friends, because the won-
derful thing about it is, that when once
givenatrial, Dr. King’s New Discovery
ever after holds a place in the house. If
you have never used it and should be af-
flicted with a cough, cold or any throat,
lung or chest trouble, secure a bottle at
once and give it a fair trial. It is guar-
anteed every time, or mone refunded.

WESTPORII

That the interest in the project for a
railroad from here to connect with the
Shepaug at Hawleyville, is alive and
brightening, was instanced on Tuesday
last, when a party of leading citizens, in-
cluding President Horace Staples, E. H.
Nash, G. S. Adams, G. B. Bradley, John
Q. Adams and others, took carriages and
lunches and drove over the line recently
surveyed for a railroad. The day was
pretty fair and the party went as far'as
Bedding Rid where they were met by
leading citizens of that place. Mr. Thomas
Sanford, of course, being conspicuous
among them. From him and others it
was learned that the road as proposed by
the New York syndicate was desired, and
that they would do all in their power to
help raise the balance of the $100,000.
The party were honored by an invitation,
which was accepted, to eat their dinner
in the parsonage of the Episcopal church
at Bedding, and afterwards were shown
into the church and had their attention
called to the place over the pulpit where a
bullet fired during the Revolution at Rev.
Mr. Beach, had lodged, and the words
near it uttered by Mr. Beach, “Fear not
him who killeth the body, but rather Him
who hath power to kill both body and
soul.” They here met also, people who
were anxious to have the railroad project
succeed. SO far as could be learned there
was not a No expressed, everybody being
ready with a Yes. Those of the party
who saw the region for the first time
caught the idea that a railroad would
have to squirm and twist around pretty
lively to dodge all the hills and mountains
and at the same time touch all the fertile
valleys, but those better informed were
provided with positive knowledge that
railroads had been sent through regions
far more wild and rugged, and that these
features were not inthe form of serious
obstacles. One and all of the party united
in saying the road, if built, would open
up a country and help its people, and at
the same time help Westport and elevate

its character as a growing, enterprising
town. Yesterday, Tuesday, a party much
larger with lunches more voluminous and
picnicky, so to speak, set out for New-
town, or that portion of it where the road
is to be located. Doubtless the citizens of
that town, having heard of the good times
in Redding last week, were on hand to
welcome the visitors with abig W.

Miss Emma Cusick who returned from
Saratoga Saturday, resumed her place at
the organ in the Congregational church
Sunday, after an absence of three weeks.

The Sunday Schools Of Christ church
and Memorial church, which on Friday
last, went on a united picnic to Parlor
Rock, had a perfect day as to weather.
They occupied three cars and went to the
Rock and returned without change.

Rufus D. Cable, formerly deputy sheriff,
and a son of George L. Cable, cx-post-
master of Westport, fell in the street on
Monday, just before nooon, and on being
conveyed home. almost immediately ex-
pired.

Thursday threatened rain, and the re-
gatta, postponed from July 31 and set for
that day to be sailed at Cedar Point was
again declared off. The Club committee
will now wait till some period Of drouth
and then fix a date. It will rain of course
and they will not be disappointed, but the
crops will rejoice.

The remains of Patrick Shaw were
brought from Norwalk Sunday and buried
in the Catholic cemetery. '

The Lees Manufacturing company have
put in a “Marvin” to replace the safe
blown open by burglars.

Mrs. Edward McGrath died Friday
leaving six young children. Her burial
in the Catholic cemetery took place Sun-
day afternoon and was largely attended.

Miss M. G. Blackman, of New York, is
visiting her aunts, the Misses E. R. and
S. V. Downes. She is a soprano singer
whose voice, cultivated under the best
teachers, has few superiors.

The funeral of Miss Carrie E. Watkins,
who died at the home of her uncle, Eli
Bradley, Esq., Saugatuck, occurred Fri-
day. The burial was at Trumbull. De-
ceased was 20 years of age.

There were five starters in the bicycle
race from the head of Compo street to
Saugatuck, via carriage bridge, and re-
turn, Tuesday. The distance was a little
less than four miles. Royal Raymond
was the winner. Time, 14 minutes and
11"‘seconds.

Mrs. Gershom Perry has a 14 year old
night blooming cereus which she raised
from a slip. ‘Since August 1st eight
blossoms have appeared, and there are
four buds ready to open. The neighbors
indulge a little envy, but not of the wicked
kind towards Mrs. Perry. -

Westport and Greens Farms will send a
number of trotters to Norwalk to-day.
Some of them have records.

Mr. Lloyd Nash has decided to tear
away every old fashioned feature in his
cider mill, and introduce new. Some of
the wood screws which have squeaked
periodically for seventy-five or more years
will be given a rest.

The fishing achievement by Messrs. A.
S. Hurlbutt and P. G. Sanford, spoken of
in this column recently as occurring at
Black Rock, should have been at Block
Island. They go again to the latter place
for fish this week. ‘

Rev. A. N. Lewis has returned from his
outing at Thimble Islands.

Mrs. Huldah E. Rockwell, a few words
regarding whom were given last, passed
into her second century Monday, and was
assisted by many friends.
found her well as usual, and with a mind
and inclination to answer to the best of
her ability any questions about things

 

occurring from 90 to 95 years ago. One
fact was made known which has not be-

The day ,

fore been spoken of. The aged lady, who
sees without glasses, has, since her 99th
birthday, read both books of the Bible
through three times, and her chapter mark
indicates that she is well along with the
fourth. She spoke of the fact that she
remembered attending, with her mother,
a funeral service in Greens Farms {church
in December, 1799 after the news of Wash-
ington’s death was received, and that Dr.
David Ripley preached. Everybody cried.
The people sang very o d tunes, one being
set to the words, We are all. going home.
The centenarian maintains a cheerful
mind.

Mr. E. W. Taylor’s condition is much
changed. His trouble is the result of old
age.

Mrs. Burtin Lewis is dangerously ill.

at Long Branch last week.

A meeting to organize a local historical
society was held at Mr. Albert Comstock’s
residence last evening.

Mr. Hodges has raised his large double

house, corner of Sumner street and East
avenue. Brown & Everett are the carpen-
ters.

Mr. John Patterson will soon begin the
erection of a. large double house near his
present delightful residence.

Mr. Frederick Lockwood will, in a fort-
night, probably return to Paris, where his
family reside. It is his intention eventually
to return to New Canaan and make his

Potatoes have been greatly injured by the
wet season.

The Episcopal rectory is for sale.
Fothergill needs a larger house.

The Methodist minister, Mr. Scofield, is

Mr. Rumsey Fancher will open a child-
ren’s school the middle of September. This,
with Miss Ayres’ institute will give us two
excellent private schools.

Good paint and carpenter work, and other
valuable labor and material, as well as clean
money, is being wasted on the antiquated,
small and every way thoroughly unrepre-
sentative Center school house. In a stone’s
throw from this building there are half a
dozen barns as much better than the school
house as, in the opinion of some, evidently,
an animal is better than a child.

Another bicycle race is promised among
the excitements of the near future.

The Episcopal church shines in a new
coat of paint.

This is the apple season and already fruit
is so plentiful in some places that it is being
