The board of health met on Wednesday. They voted to stringently enforce their rules, see that the pest house at the town farm was put in a proper condition for the reception of patients, and to request that all persons be properly vaccrnatcd. This action was caused by the prevalence of small pox in parts of this state. Mr. W.B E. Lockwood contemplates erecting a new brick building on his property on Wall street, occupied at present by B. S. Blascer and Bates’ mar- ket. Anew wharf will be built in the rear. and the old buildings either torn down or moved. There will be three stores, of 21 feet front each. The building will be a great improvement to that part of Wall street, and a valuable acquisition to the business part of the town as a whole. The work will probably be com— menced within a short time. No one not in the business can tell how a newspaper grows to become a part of one’s individuality, and one feels every blow that it struck at it and winces at every word of detraction that it suffers. So one learns to defend its life and holds its in- terests dearly. In no calling do the years fly by faster than in the newspaper busi- ness. As quick as one paper is printed and mailed, the forms are washed, the type distributed and work on the next issue he- gins before thc, last paper is out of the ofiice. Before the readers have all got their papers and before half of them have read their copy through. one side of the next issue is printed, and so it goes on from year to year.

Mr. Tuft is at the head of the Union Square Conservatory and Entertainment Bureau, a newly es- tablished school of acting. John Hoffman, a German in the employ of Noah Wood, was arrested by Officer Adams, this week, charged with assault on John Nevells and John Connolly. The German, while at work, took umbrage at some remark made by either Connolly or Nevells, and, it is alleged, assaulted them with a manure fork, and, being deprived of that, he took a fence rail wrtlr which he broke Connelly’s arm. The German claims to have acted in self defense. The case will be tried March lst.

As soon as Beach got away, however, Taylor made up faces at him in his Journal, and when Beach got home he did the same for Taylor—and so it goes. .0. M. Shepard, general superintendent of the New York, New Haven do Hartford railroad, was on Wednesday selected for superintendent of the New York division. Mr. Shepard’s appointment is accompanied by the abolition of the office of general superintendent.

The following statement, piit before the public by the Bridgeport Farmer, if true should open the eyes of many an old “parallel” campaigner. The Farmer- is usually careful and accurate in its state- ments, and if what it here reports he the truth, it would go to show that the des- perate battle before the legislature last winter, wherein the Consolidated is cred- ited with having spent over a quarter of a inillionzdollars in efforts to “persuade” members to vote against the parallel- schenie was, after all, a sham, and the Housatonic magnatcs nothing better than a set of Wall street speculators. The truth or falsity of the Farmer-’3 statements should be put beyond dispute. It says:— “An ofiicial of the Consolidated railroad said in conversation a few days ago: ‘lt is not generally known that the entire trouble grows out of an attempt on the part of President Bostwick and other magnates connected with the Housatonic to force the Consolidated road to buy or lease the Housatonic system. During the fight in the general assembly, officials of the Housatonic made overtures to the [Consolidated with a view to selling the road to that corporation, but their figures were too high to receive favorable con— sideration. The Consolidated officials would neither purchase or lease at the terms named, although offers were made for the road-at what were considered reasonable terms, and consequently the Housatonic are now trying to foi‘ce the Consolidated to buy or lease. General Manager Stevenson is only carrying out the instructions of superior officials, and it is doubtful if he knows that certain directors in his company have made over- tures to the Consolidated. He probably knew nothing of the attempted deal of over a year ago.’ Taking this statement in- to consideration the controversy between the companies assumes a new phase.” “Look here,” said a meat peddler to Officer Gormley the other day, “there are two: or three butchers from South Nor- “ it: who come within .the borough limits and sell meat to families on Stuart avenue, who have no lieenSe. Now the borough authorities compelled me to take out a license-to peddle meat in the borough, and I demand, as a measure of self protection, that the same restrictions be placed upon these unlicensed meat peddlcrs.” The butchers who supply Stuart avenue are now closely watched. The Bridgeport News says that the new steamer Maryland, to be used by the Con- solidated road in ferrying trains between Harlem river and Jersey City, arrived at Harlem river Sunday. This iron ferry steamer, built recently at Wilmington, Delaware, had several trials on the Dela- ware'river, and has worked excellently. The company has not formally accepted chase. price has been paid in installments. The vessel will carry fourteen freight cars and eight long passenger coaches. She On the old Maryland that was burned about a year ago, the company was award- ed an insurance of about $75,000. This did not cover the actual cost, which was assessed at about $200,000. Supt. Shepard and several of the heads of the depart- ments Went to Harlem river Sunday to inspect the new steamer. The vessel is not yet ready to go on theline, but it is believed that she will be regularly run- ning in two weeks. On Saturday last there was an amusing case before Judge Austin. From the evidence its appears that Patrick Casey and David Comstock both worshipers at the shrine of Mary Hands on Bclden avenue, got into a fight that morning. Casey being sober, he gave Comstock, who was drunk, a thrashing. In the afternoon the situation was reversed, and Comstook, sober, thrashed Casey, drunk. A com- plaint was made out against Crsey, for drunkenness and assault, and Comstock appeared as a witness against him. but at the trial Comatock, by his persistent knownothinglactic succeeded in getting himself arrested on it simili'ar charge. Re warmers total of $10.50, wane Casey’s fine and costs amounted to $9.50. Comstock settled, but while Casey, in the custody of Officer Adams, was endeavor- ing to persuade Miss Hands to settle his fine, Mary attempted to assist the prisoner to escape from the officer, but without avail, and Casey icdged in the lockup until Monday, when he was charged with resisting the officer and the sum of $6 was added to his previous fine, which after some tomfoolery, .he managed to raised, and be thanked his lucky stars for his escape from jail. I The World’s Fair is evidently in the 'clutches of Chicago. The Springfield Republican of yesterday, however, speaks of the prospect as follows: The result seemed a foregone conclusion after the first ballot yesterday, when only nine of Pennsylvania's 28 members voted for New York. It was not dreamed that Pennsylvania would go with the west un- til the dead-lock in the New York legisla- ture took on serious proportions. Finally ‘it became apparent that both ’l‘om Platt and Mr. Quay, fearing the effect of a world’s fair in the metropolis during the pres1dential summer of 1892, had put their heads together. The wlroie matter now goes back to the committee to frame a bill upon a Chicago basis. There may be an- other contest over the passage of the bill, as it will necessitate the appropriation of a large sum of money to make the fair a success. The deliberate rejection of New York’s $15,000,000,-—0nc-third by private subscription,—may weigh down some of the Weaker brethren by the time the next vote is taken. If the bill finally passes, the Senate will take a hand in the affair, and it is more than whispered that the project will be approved except in one particular. Mr. Quay, like Mr. Plait, prefers 1893 or 1894,—-for countless reasons. These gentlemen are powerful, and it is a riddle open to all who can guess it. Tire only srrre thing up to date is that New York has ost the fair, and that it. was lost because the politicians thought more of the 10 mil- lions than of Columbus’s discovery. New York will now put on mourning, but, un- like the average run of mourners, she will not command the sympathy of the com. nrunity. The scenes attending the pas- sage of the world’s fair bill at Albany were a disgrace to the city. A few poi- iticians were given a free field for some expert practice at kicking about the good name of the city as though it were a foot- ball. This is a free country, and if the people of New York can stand it, cer- tainly the West need have nothing to say. Chicago entered the contest with the “wild and woolly West” notion of free advertise- ment. By rare good luck she has profited by the jealousy of eastern politicians. If Monday’s verdict of the House is con- firmed and the fair goes West, it will be a very'good one,—for Chicago, no doubt. It Will be necessarily limited in its propor- tions, as it will be difficult to secure a large foreign representation either in vis- itors or exhibits on account of the distance of Chicago from the sea-board. No in- land international exposition, except per- haps that of Vienna in 1873, has been a financial success. It will be not a little mortifying to our national pride to be beaten by France in getting tip a show, but if the country demands a provincial celebration of the discovery of this conti- nant, all patriotic people should forget their differences and do their best they can I under the circumstances. ,. . ‘ r '. supervisor. the steamer, although most of the pur-, Will have double tracks on the main decka The rumors that a settlement had been reached in the proceedings brought by the Consolidated road to condemn certain lands in Bridgeport owned by the Housa- tonic road are premature. Reports were circulated Thursday that the Housatonic ' had agreed to lease the territory in dispute to the Consolidated upon the payment of a large yearly rental. William D. Bishop, jr. of Bridgeport, counsel for the Consoli- dated road, told a Palladium reporter Thursday evening, that, so far as he had knowledge, no settlement had been reached. On the first Monday of next June the census taker will be turned loose in Con- necticut, whose business it will be to go from house to house to collect statistics for the eleventh census. There will in all be about 40,000 enumerators for the United States. Each state will be divided, as Connecticut, into districts in charge of a Each supervisor will divide his district into such sub-districts as shall be deemed necessary for the expeditious taking of the census. Schedules may be distributed before June 1, but every return must be in Washington on or before July 1. The special statistics of manufactures will not be taken until July. Tire eighth annual reunion and banquet of the Connecticut association of ex—prison- ers 'of warwas held in G. A. R. hall, in Hartford, Saturday, and Rev. 1. M. Foster presided. At the business meeting J. Acton Miller, of Hartford, offered a resolu- tion to rescind the vote of last year thank- ing Senators Hawley and Platt for their efforts in behalf of the pension bills before congress. He said that the Connecticut senators had done nothing for which they deserved thanks but had actually knifed pension bills and worked against the sol- diers’ interests. A substitute resolution allowing the vote to stand and requesting both senators to favor pending pension bills was finally passed. The following officers were elected : President, Henry R. Jones, New Hartford; vice-presidents, James H. Barnes, Bridgeport; John B. Chapp, Hartford; secretary, Hiram Buck- ingham, Hartford; treasurer, B. F. Bakes- lee, Hartford; chaplain, Rev. E. F. At- wood, Bloomfield. At a late heur on Friday night a couple of men came to the bridge and informed Officers Gormley and Adams that their presence was needed at acertain house near the corner of Stuart avenue and the turnpike, a considerable distance beyond the Armory, where a man was brutally assaulting his mother and sister. Ofiicer Gormley accompanied the two men back to the house designated, where he found all quiet. The young man who was accused of the assult was up stairs in his bed, but the mother was drunk. The officer investigated and was convinced by what he heartland observer], that so far from the young man being in any way at fault, the other two, who so promptly summoned the ofiicer, and who were also intoxicated, were the ones who deserved to be arrested. The young man’s story, which the circumstances seemed to con- firm, was a straightforward and somewhat pathetic one. He had come to this country from Ireland only a few months before, his principal object in coming over being to get his mother away from evil surroundings and associations at home which were rapidly degrading her and which threatened to ruin his young sister, to whom he was devotely attached. The change, however, effected no im- provement in the mother’s habits. and in her new home she soon surrounded her- self with a low class of associates, and midnight debanches and drunken carous~ als were of frequent occurrence at the home on the turnpike bill. 011 Friday night the usual orgies took place and were in the height of their hilarity, when the young man, in the desperation of his discouragement, came down from his room, took his srster by the shoulder, marched her up stairs to her bed, and commanded his mother to dismiss her maudlin guests and retire. The mother. in a drunken rage, sprang at him, but he shoved her off and she fell, cutting her lips against some article of furniture in the room. The two men who were with the old lady then attacked the young man and gave him a beating, after which they started out to get the police to arrest the son for assaulting his mother and sister. The officer, after getting at the true condition of afiairs, suggested to the' young man that if he would make a com- plaint, he would arrest the two men who caused the trouble, but the poor fellow declined to make a complaint, fearing that they would avenge themselves by “laying for him” at some time in the future and giving him another thrashing. He said his one desire was to save his sister from these men, who, it was plain, hoped to carry out evil designs regarding her, by industriously plying the mother wrth liquor. Theyoung man expressed himself as completely discouraged, and almost persuaded to cut loose from the rest of his family and take board else- where. He is an industrious and steady young fellow, and is desei'Ving of smy-_ pathy. (and Mrs. H. E. Darin, TWO DOLLARS" A YEAR 1 . \‘fl ..

Y., a graduate of Wesleyan uniVer-sity in 1873, has just presented the institution with a valuable collection ofcdins of the Chinese empire. The collection numbers upward of 1500 specimens, including a large number of ancient sword coins, which ‘antedate the Christian era by several centuries, and which are now obtained only by digging up old .gravrs into which they were formerly thrown.

' The particulars of the suicide of Jesse Reed, of Stamford, who hanged himself in an onthoiise on his premises in that town, on Thursday, are tons given by the NewR:———“It appears that D. R. Hopkins a traveling salesman, called at Mr. Reed’s house to make a sale of a patent spring mattress. While Mrs. Reed was busily engaged in conversing with him, Mr. Reed quietly slipped out doors. and it is presumed Went at once to the shed and made preparations to hang himself. Pro- curing a rope he made this fast to abeani, then getting upon a chair be fastened the other end abpuf his neck and kicked the chair from under him. Mrs. Reed becom- ing alarmed at his long absence went in search of him, and discovered his body in the shed. Mrs. Reed, horror stricken, gave an alarm and Mr. Hopkins taking in the situation at a glance, cut the body down. Mr. E. F. Morris and others as- sisted in the vain hope of savrng the. man’s life. Medical assistance was summoned and Dr. Darby, Di“. Geib and Dr. C. E. Rowell responded, biit life was wholy extinct before their arrival. The unfor- tunate man was for a long time troubled with Diabetic Insanity and thus led to despondency and finally to suicide.” The celebration of the fiftieth anniver— sary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Morehouse. at their delightful residence in Wilton, which occurred on Thursday evening last, was one of thepleas- antest and most enjoyable events of that nature held in this region in many a day. There were 137 guests present in response to the invitations, and nearly 200 letters of regret were received from distinguished people from abroad, who congratulated our excellent friend “Sherm” on having enjoyed the rare privilege of celebrating his golden wedding. Nor-walk was well represented at the celebration, and on report it a most felicitous affair. Smythe’s orchestra furnished most excellent music; the spacrous rooms of the house were given up to the guests for their enjoyment, and old and young alike indulged in tripping the light fantastictoe. So far as friskiness and vivacity were concerned, Mr. Morehouse himself was the youngest man in the whole assemblage as he whisked gaily about in the festive dance or flitted hither and yorramorrg the guests with-a cordial word for each, and an earnest Solicitude for the welfare and pleasure of all. The collation, furnished by DeKlyn, of Norwalk, was a magnificent one and was handsomely served. Mr. O. L. Bassett and his estimable wife. (daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Morchorise), were indefa- tigable assistants tothc host and hostess in entertcrtaining the guests, and right royally did they make the visitors feel that they were welcome.
