4 NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 16, 1889. ll/orwa/lr s 002627? .5TABLIBI—IED, : 1800 A.H.BYIlilll‘0l.Etlltor. I.RODBMEYER.JI..AssuiaIe Danbury Fair. As usual good weather and an enormous crowd of visitors attended upon Danbury’s great annual show. Norwalk was reason- ably well represented in the exhibits, but more abundantly in its personal attendance. The Lockwood boys had two of their trotters there, and Burgess Morison had a very smart and pretty little black trotter. Jerry Bresnan did his customary “jug” act on the potter’s wheel to the amusement and edifi- cation of hosts of lookers on. New Canaan and Westport honored themselves in car- riage exhibits of superior merits, and the Saugatuck Iron Works gave a display of their novelties. James Nash. of South Norwalk, had a pyramid of excellent salt of the purest white. bred Mead, D’Artois and others catered to the wants of the inner man. Hall and Read, of Bridge- port, as a matter of course, utilized the fair to a laudable extent in their enterprising methods of advertising their rich and at- tractive dry goods. In ladies’ industrial and fine art exhibits, as well as in blooded stock and poultry, the fair has seldom if ever been equaled. The balloon ascensions were the best ever seen, and the manage- ment tried to and did give full value to every visitor for the price of admission. Still truth demands that it should be said that several improvements could be made, which would in the future add to the visit- ors’ safety aud comfort and increase the attendance. The railroad service this year was wretcliedly bad. The line of howling fakirs should be moved further to the sides or rear to the main passage way to exhibi- tion hall. A programme of each day’s events should be distributed every morning, and some better methods of getting to and from Danbury, over the New England road, devised. The representative of the GA- ZETTE, desiring to return to Norwalk on the 3.45 p. m. train on Thursday, took his seat in a New England car at 3 p. m. and was landed in Danbury five minutes after the Norwalk train had left. Meantime the train- men at the fair grounds kept stating that their train was “going right oil,” but nevertheless the long line of cars Were kept back till all were filled. No time schedules were appar- ently observed or run on by this road. The following criticisms from the correspondent of the Tribune must be admitted to be justly made. He says :— “Tliis fair is becoming more and more the stamping ground of the ‘fakirs’ and tin jewelry men, and less and less useful as an aid to and illustration oi the industries of the-country. An old farmer, who remem- bers well its palmy days, said to-day that he was sorry to see it degenerating into a catch- penny affair. ‘They don’t make it a horse and cattle show like they used to do,’ said he. ‘It’s all very well to have plenty of amusements for the people, but the charac— ter of the fair ought to be maintained.’ ‘It has now become a perfect Donny- brook,’ said the old farmer, ‘and on every corner is a shark trying to catch a farmer. But most of us get to New York and Boston once in a while in these days, and we know the moon from green cheese.’ The grounds are badly in need of improvements, and there are certain conveniences of civilization which will be indispensable if the fair is to be continued. There had been little trouble in bringing together the great crowd, but it was difl'ei‘ent when they began to disperse. Loud com- plaints were heard on all sides at the wretch- ed arrangements. The trip by omnibus from the grounds to the town is nearly two miles, and many thousands took that route, but those who went down by rail to catch trains to their homes in different directions, were subject to the most exasperating delay and inconvenience. The run by train should be about six minutes, and it was understood that trains would run at intervals of fifteen minutes. But those who got into the train at 3 o’clock to-day, numbering nine car- loads, did not reach Danbury until 4 o’clock, thus missing the 3:35 train to South Nor- walk, on which many with young children were relying to reach home before nightfall. The next train started at 5:10 and did not reach South Norwalk until 7 o’clock, though the distance is less than thirty miles. Many hundreds of people were greatly inconvenienced by this wretched series of blunders, and were unanimous in their ex- pression of disgust. Unless there is much better arrangements next year thousands, who make a practice of attending the fair yearly, will stay away. The men and women, who most severely criticised the errors and shorteonimgs which are apparent about the present innnagenient, were moved only by feelings of regret. With such beautiful fair grounds, so many fine exhibits and such an abundant public support they regarded it as a misfortune to the community that even the most obvious needs were not supplied.” g-.- Bon Voyage Barnum. Our old friend P. T. Barnum, his wife and grandson, Barnum Seeley, Sailed Saturday for Europe in the Etruria. The present week his “greatest show on. earth” follows in one steamer direct to London and two to Liverpool. He will have in all about one thousand employes, and be- fore the first exhibition is given nearly a half million of dollars Wlll have been ex- pended. The daily cxpenses of the great show will be $12,000. As he takes and reads the GAZETTE his eye caught the letter of the late Judge Stephen Smith, republished by us September 25th, anent the ancient history of our paper, and just bafore leaving Bridgeport for his trip to, London he sent us the following interest- ing letter:— “MARINA," BRIDGEPORT, Ct., Oct. 9, ’89. DEA]: BYINGTON: My autobiography, published by J. S. Redfield, New York, 1855, page 141, says truly .- “No 160 of the Herald of Freedom was published in Danbury, November 5, 1834, after which it was removed to Nor- walk and published for me by my brother- in-law, John W. Amerman, until, in the course of the year ensuing, it'was sold to Mr. George Taylor." I remember nothing of its future. My brother—in-law had nothing to do with the GAZETTE. With best wishes I am Cordially your old friend, P. T. BARNUM. been out, of late, as a body. It cannot be RANDOM BAMBLINGS. ll BY ROSIE ROWE, OUR RANDOM RAMBLER. Well, the election is over, and happily so. My sister’s husband, as I wrote you before, was a candidate for something on one of the borough tickets, but he with- drew before election. He said he did it to avoid a split in the opposite party, and that some of the other candidates would have shown good sense if they had done the same, a. fact which they must realize now. The secret ballot law, he says, is a good thing, notwithstanding it made pos-‘ sible some most amusing and ridiculous 'blunders. * Ill The element of secrecy in the balloting will undoubtedly intensify the desire of woman for the right of suffrage. It * III What a success the Danbury fair is, to be sure. I visited it this year for the first time, and although I went prepared by the enthusiastic account of friends, to see a lively, gay and gaudy gathering, I was astonished at the tremendous extent of the crowds and the confusing pandemo- nium and Babel spread all over the vast grounds. Verily the Danbury fair is the Paris exposition of America. * * It Nothing more is needed to convince the world that the Danbury fair people are in cahoots with the weather department. It had rained continually for weeks. and weeks up to the very first day of the fair, when it suddenly cleared off and remain- ed pleasant until the close. No sooner was the fair closed, however, than the flood-gates of heaven were opened again and the rains descended with rcdoublcd vigor. ik * 11‘ Our streets—how nasty they are agaio: * III I! The Record’s Dutch sour krout contrib- utor says the Police Gazette’s artist repre- sented Judge Selleck as “a ferocious look- ing old Turk” in its illustration of the pet. ticoated Venus. I did not see the picture as I do not read that kind of papers, but if the Dutchman is correct in his descrip- tion, (and he probably knows whereof he wrote, as I should imagine the Police Ga- zette is about his favorite style of litera- ture,) what a libel on the benevolent fea- tures of the genial J udgc. it: * 1k The long nights of winter are about upon us, and the social whirl will soon be revolv— ing rapidly. it: * t I hear another kirmess entertainment is being talked of, to benefit the library or some other worthy local institution.

Bar- rington Courier is enjoying a several weeks’ visit through the far west. Robert Erwin, formerly editor of the New Milford Gazette, now connected with the board of public works, at St. Paul, Minn , is visiting old friends in New Mil- ford. , The Berkshire News,a democratic news- paper, made its bow to the public from Gt. Harrington last week. It is a neat looking paper and gives evidence of in- telligence and journalistic ability. Doug- lass Brothers are its publishers. That excellent and standard trade pub- lication, Press and Printer, published by Inman Brothers, has just been doubled in size. It is one of the brightest and best publishers‘ journals that comes to our table, and its increase in size must of necessity proportionately increase its in- fluence and circulation. The Danbury News last week did ex- cellent work in its exhaustive daily report of the big fair. Editor J. A. Bolles of the New Milford Gazette is to read an essay on “The coun- try editor of 10-day.” at the next meeting of the Weekly press association in New Haven on Nov. 18th. Bolles is abundant- ly capable of handling the subject in a masterly manner, and the members of the association are sure of a treat. The News says: The Danbury Register has changed hands. F. C. Smalley having sold it to J. M. Chafl’ee of VVinsor, N. Y.» and G. A Babcock, of Cold Springs, N. Y. The new proprietors will take pos- session next week, when the paper will be issued in an improved and enlarged form as an eight-page sheet. Mr. Smalley will continue to be connected with the paper as business manager. By all odds the haudsomest souvenir edition of any newspaper that has ever come to our desk is that just issued by the Poughkeepsie Eagle in commemoration of the opening of the great bridge. It is a triumph of the typographic and engraving arts and an eloquent commentary on the enterprise of the publishers. James H. O’Rourke, of the, champion New York base ball club, arrived at his home in this city yesterday afternoon. He is looking well after his vigorous work this season, and his numerous admirers here are congratulating him on the fine record he made. The champions will now enjoy a. short rest until the American as- sociation’s season is ended, when they will begin the series for the world’s champion- ship. Brooklyn will probably be their competitor, and Lawyer O’Rourke says that he and the other members of his team feel confident of a aiu coming out on top. He will remain in ridgeport this winter OBITUARY. Susan nnidaiebrook. The funeral services of Susan B. Middle- brook the beloved wife of the late Col. LeGrand Comstock, and second daughter of the late 001. George Middlebrook, of Wilton,Ct., were held at her late resi- dence on Wednesday, October 3d. Mrs. Comstock died at the home of her only daughter, Mrs. E. J. Benson, in Bing- hamton, N. Y., after a short but painful illness. Previous to the departure with the remains for‘sepulture, a short but beautiful service was held at the house conducted by the Rev. Dr. Nichols, clos- ing with an extract from the poem entitled Sleep, by Mrs. E. B. Browning. The ser- vices at Wilton were attended by a large circle of mourning relatives, friends and neighbors, by whom she was greatly be- loved for her excellent qualities of mind and heart. The sermon was preached by Rev. Mr. Dunning, of Norwalk, and the appropriate hymn was sung, “Asleep in Jesus." The precious form was laid to rest in Hillside Cemetery by the side of her beloved husband, where are also buried her honored parents, grand-par- ents, four sisters and six brothers-in-law, viz.: A. E. Brown, an esteemed member of the Saratoga County Bar, E. G. Betts, of Wilton, LeGrand Comstock, W. D. Gregory, Dr. John Hill, and Dr. J. E. Turner. ____ Benjamin Barraclough. Benjamin Bariaclough passed to the life eternal at his home in Brooklyn on Wednesday, October 9th, after a brief ill- ness in the 64th year of his age. He was born in New Canaan, and, after reaching adult life, removed f0 Norwalk, where he married, reared a family and resided till going to New York and entered the cm- ploy of Barnum Brothers, the noted Chatham Square clothing dealers. He served this firm most faithfully for more thanascore of years, and outlived the original proprietors of the great business business firm. Mr. Barraclough was a man of the highest probity and honor; of a fine and even poetic literary taste, and during the past thirty years he was a frequent and welcome contributor t) the columns of the Norwalk GAZETTE. Per- haps the most strictly accurate and appro-. priate statement of his life and character would be to say that he was a noble. natured, generous hearted, thoroughly upright man and true Christian gentleman. His remains were brought to Norwalk Friday and sepulchred in Union cemetery beside his loved ones “gone before.” William Thomas Minor William Thomas Minor died at his home in Stamford, Sunday. He .was born" in Stamford on October 3, 1815, and was fitted for college by Hawlcy Olmstead at his Wilton Academy, and graduated at Yale in 1834. From the latter year until 1841 he taught in Stamford, meanwhile studying law. He was'admitted to the bar in 1840. He was for eight years a member of the Connecticut Legislature.“ In 1855 he was the Know Nothing candi- date for Governer, and received 738 more votes than the Democratic candidate (Iugs ham), and 18,866 more than the Whig candidate (Dutton). There being no election by the people, he was chosen by the Legislature, in which the Know Noth- ings had a large majority. In 1856 lug: ham had 6,699 more votes than Governor Minor, and the latter had 19,368 more votes than Gideon Welles, the Republican, candidate. He was, however, re-electcdif' Governor by the Republican and .Knowg; Nothing votes in the Legislature. From 1864 to 1867 he was Consul-General at Havana. Resigning that office, he re. turned to his home in Stamford, and in, 1868 he was appointed a Judge of the Superior Court, which office he resigned: in 1873. In 1855 Governor Minor received? the degree of LL. D. from Wesley Uni- versity. He was a man of generous and noble impulses and made strong and last- ing friendships. For years past- he had been a potent factor in the Parallel Rail- road scheme and only relinquished his active interest when ill health forced his retirement. He was a director and large owner in the profitable Stamford spice mills, and formerly took an unusually active interest in local, state and national politics. Davxd Clark. David Clark, of Hartford, whose death at the age of 83 has been announced, was closely identified with the life of that city, both social and religious, and his chari- ties on which be expended $300,000 to $400,000 of his fortune, were always wise- ly bestowed. He was born at Chaplain, apart of Old Windham, and would have celebrated his 84th birthday and 62d mar- riage anniversary, if he had lived until Sunday. He retired from his business as a wholesale grocer several years ago, with afortune that would have amounted to $900,000, if a large share of it had not been so generously given away. His gifts were constantly made and were both large and small. He gave away 30 swords to officers whose personal ac"— quaintance he had made. During the rebellion, in aid of soldiers and their fam- ilies, he gave $60,500, for educating freed. men $70,000, to the Christian Biblican institution of Stamfordville, N. Y., $50,. 000, to the Hartford Hospital and old folks’ home, his valuable farm, with all the materials and fine stock on it, valued at $60,000 or $70,000. He was paying for the education of 13 college students, three of them in Hartford, at the time of his death. He was one of the highest and foremost Masons in the state. 4‘ VA 7‘ A woman who is weak, nervous and sleepless, and who has cold hands and feet. cannot feel and act like a well per. son.

On Monday afternoon about a dozen of our borough firemen, including Chief Engineer Prowitt and First Assistant Smith, went to Stamford to witness the first test and working of the Hayes’ atrial hook and ladder trucli just purchased for the Stamford fire department. Firemen were also present from Poi-t Chester, South NOI'WulK, Waterbury and other places. The truck withstood every test, and the highest expectations in regard to it were more than realized. With their present equipment the Stamford fire department is second to none in this section, and the exhibition of their work as firemen, con- sidering the inclcmeucy of the weather, would be hard to beat. After the test had been made, and the men and apparatus had returned to their quarters, the visiting firemen were escorted to Weed’s Hall, wherea bountiful repast had been pro- vided. After the collation, speeches were made by Chief Engineer Bowman, of Stamford ;Ch1efProwitt, and First Assist- ant Smith, of Norwalk; Mr. Raymond, of South Norwalk; Mr. Slattery, of Hope Hose, Norwalk; the Chief of the Fire Police and Foreman of the Harry Howards, of Port Chester; and the Chief Engineer of the Waterbury fire department. We think the best speech was that made by Chief Enginegr Prowitt, who, in his re- marks, said “that he recollected the time when he came from Norwalk with the strainer to help the Stamford firemen put out a fire some .years ago, and had not until to-day, seen the Stamford firemen work since then. He added that flattery was distasteful to him, but he must say that he had never seen a greater change than had taken place in the Stamford de- partment since that time, and that the present equipment of the Stamford de- partment made it as much superior to the Norwalk department as Norwalk was Stamford’s superior then. He hoped that the day was not far distant when the equipment of the Norwalk department would be second to none, and wound up by thanking the Stamford firemen for their liOSpitality.” The affair broke up with three cheers for all the engineers presentand all the departments represent- ed. The visiting firemen in company with their Stamford brethren attended the G. A. R. fair, and at a late hour returned home. Chief Bowman and the Stamford firemen are to be congratulated upon their success, not only as firemen but as entertainers. ‘ Mrs. Fred T. Belts is visiting friends in New York.

Conductor Clark Lane of the Housatonic road, one of the oldest employees of the road, has been transferred to the train which stops in Bridgeport over night and will remove his family from Pittsfield to that city. __ A well-known newspaper man from this city went to the Danbury fair yesterday to see the big show. Among the attractions which interested him during the day were the various gambling devices which were quite numerous. He saw as be supposed an excellent chance to quit winner on the shell game and lost no time to drop a crisp $5 on the game. He is however only one of many other victims of misplaced confi- dence. He has probably many times ad- vised his readers to beware of all skin games, but hit himself yesterday like a hungry trout—Standard. To whom can the above refer ? Certain~ ly not to Frank Wood of the Standard, for in the first place he wouldn’t gamble, and secondly he wouldn’t go home and give himself away. g Rufe Lyon of the Farmer would shun the thimble rigger as an unclean thing. Neither Priudle nor Judge of the News would stake his cash on another man’s game. Tom Wood of the Post didn’t go to the fair at all. Hills was there, though, but he’s married. So the problem narrows down to Underwood, Billings and Beers, three of a kind that could beat two pairs of faroasters—who was it ? There has been a great deal of com- plaint and not unreasonably at the bad condition of the sidewalk from the resi- dence of Mr. James H. Bailey to that of Engineer Wood, in front ‘of the Morgan estate. People going to and returning from the churches on Sundays are particu- larly inconvenienced. Messrs. Bailey and Wood have laid their walks, but the in- tervening space in front of lots owned by Messrs. F. St.John Lockwood and Henry Bissell are in a deplorable condition. Mr. Lockwood asserts that the borough au- thorities will not give him a grade to put down a walk upon, and Warden Coolidge states the reason to be that Mr. Lockwood desires the borough to cut down and grade his private highway opened up for thesale of lots and so the public has to suffer a serious inconvenience. It is to be hoped that our next year’s board may be able to justly and sensibly harmonize this and other similar conflicts in regard to the putting down of walks where they are so manifestly needed.

Family J ourna in the Country. ' - The Weekly Edition of the Springfield, (Mona) Republican. which wits established in 1824, by Samuel Bowles, has recently been en, larged to 12 pages or 84 columns. The price remains at $1 per year, or 10 cents a mouth for shorter periods. I This generous enlargement, adding 28 col~ umus to the capacity of the paper, allows the introduction of many new and attractive fea- tures. ' The news of Western Massachusetts and New England in particular, and of the World in general,is now presented in a more thorough manner than ever before. The news matter is not thrown together in promiscuous fashion, but is carefully edited and intelligently arrang- ed. The valuable literary department, for which the paper has always been famous, is made richer and more comprehensive. A sermon or other serious paper is printed every week, selections being made from the leading preachers of the various religious bod- ice, and often from the local pulpits of Western Massachusetts. The religious news and dis- cussion of the day is also carefully reviewed. A bright, entertaining and wholesome orig- inal story, and also an attractive department for young people, are regular features. Each number contains a. good variety of or- iginal or selected poetry. The special inter- ests of Women in the way of education, work, household afi'airs, dress, etc., receive liberal attention every week. Interesting letters from regular and occa- sional correspondents are more fully given than has heretofore been possible. The news of the theatres and of outdoors sports is pre- sented when interest and importance justify. Agricultural news and hints for the farmers are carefully gathered and occupy more space than formerly. The people’s interests in all political, social and industrial affairs are steadily studied and advocated from the stand point of independence and a patriotism that is higher and broader than partisanship. ' In a word, the publishers seek to make The Weekly Republican more than ever the best weekly newspaper and family journal combin- ed in the country. To all residents of New England who do not take a. daily paper, or who desire to supple- ment their daily reading by another presenta- tion of the world’s current history, accompan- ied by a choice class of general reading, the pa- per now confidentially commends itself anew.
