Gov. English Dead.

Ex-Governor James E. English died at
his residence in New Haven on Sunday,
at the age of 78 years. He leaves a wife
and one son.

Gov. English:,was the richest man in
New Haven and perhaps in the State. He
was a large owner of Adams Express
Company stock and a director in that
company, but his money is invested
principally in real estate in New Haven.
He foresaw the prosperity of that city long
ago, and bought the lands and built upon
them. At the time of his death he owned
some of the finest business blocks in the
city, besides whole rows of first-class res-
idences. He was born in New Haven,
March 13, 1812. He had a common school
education. The first wages which he got
were earned on a farm in Bethlehem.
That was not, however, the kind of work
he was looking for, and-lie gave it up and
returned to the city of his birth, where he
was apprenticed to Atwater Treat a car-
penter and builder. He helped Mr. Treat
to build some of the finest of the houses
of that day, and improved his time so well
that before he entered into his majority he
was a master builder and in business on
his own account. In 1843 he entered pol-
itics and was elected to the city council.
In 1855 he was sent to the legislature and
in 1856 to the State senate where he serv-
ed for two years. He was defeated for
lieutenant governor on the democratic
ticket with Col. Seymour in 1860, and was
sent to Congress in 1861, and re-elected in
1863. In 1867 he again attracted public
notice by a brilliant and successful cam-
p-ligu for the Governorship of Connecti-
cut against Joseph R. Hawley. The State
had been so solidly republican and Haw-
lay was regarded everywhere as so popu-
lar that the victory of Gov. English on a
democratic ticket was asurprisc. For the
next four years he had a nip-and-tuck
time contesting the Governorship with
Mr. Jewell. He won again in 1868, was
defeated in 1869, and was elected in 1870.
In 1871 a contest occurred between them
which was similar, except in one striking
feature, to the Presidential contest of
1876. The election was so close that fora
week after election day it was impossible
to tell who had won. First Jewell seemed
to be ahead, and then English. Finally
the State Canvassing Board declared that
English was elected by a small majority.
The republicans set up a claim of frauds
in the Fourth ward of New Haven of suf-
ficient amount to turn the scale. There
was no way to reach a legal decision un-
til the legislaturc met, and a bitter contest
seemed inevitable, until Mr. English set-
tled it all by declaring that he would not
take the scat.

“No man,” said he, “can afford to hold
an office the title to which is in the slight-
est degree tainted with fraud.”

United States Senator Orris S. Ferry
died in 1875. Gov. English was appoint-
ed in December to fill the vacancy. and
held the place until May 1876.

Since that time his life has been devo-
ted chiefly to business, although he has
taken time to travel extensively in this
country and also in Europe. He was mar-
ried twice. His second marriage took
place in New Haven at the house of his
f.icnd, Henry B. Plant, Oct. 7th, 1885,
when he was 74 years old. The bride
was Miss Anna Rice Morris, whose grand-
father once owned the greatcrpart of East
Haven, and gave the name to Morris’s
Cove.

Gov. English gave liberally to local
charities and provided generously for his
family, but his own pleasures were sim-
ple and his life was free from display.
Until recently he was as active as a young
man”.

 

Charles L. Mitchell.

Ex-Congressman Charles Le Moyne
Mitchell, died at his New York home,
No. 111 West Fifty-fifth street, New York,
Saturday morning from gastritis, from
which be had been a sufferer for severe
months.
Mr. Mitchell was about 45 years old,
and was born in New Haven. His mother
was a lineal descendant of Thomas Fitch,
a colonial governor. Mr. Mitchell was
graduated from the Russell Military
Academy, in New Haven, and entered
Yale college, which institution he left
before graduation. He was elected to
congress in 1880, and represented the
Second district for four years. Upon the
death of his father, Edward A. Mitchell,
he became sole heir of his father’s exten-
Slve property, consisting of valuable real
estate as well as other interests. He was
a director in the Bridgeport Brass com-
pany, the Benedict & Burnham Manufac-
turing company of Waterbury, theMeriden
Britannia company, and the Tradesmen’s
National Bank. He also had an interest in
the Winchester Repeating Arms company.
He was a generous patron of art, a
buyer and reader of good books, and a
skilled horticulturalist. As a busmess
man he showed marked ability. He was
a man of large heart, generous and of
impulses. He wasa prominent member
of several clubs. including the Manhattan,
the New York, the Lambs and Electric of
New York, and the Quinnipiac of New
Haven. He leaves a widow and one son,
Edward Mitchell, aged seventeen, a stu-
dent in the Sheffield Scientific school.

Brigadier-General Watson.

Brigadier-General Graham was dis-
charged by order of the Governor, on
March 1st, and Col. T. L. Watson, of the
Fourth regiment, appointed his successor.

General Graham was seen by a Com-ant
representative Sunday, and said that he
had not yet received ofiicial notification of
his discharge, and he must therefore
decline to talk upon the subject at all.
He intimated that it was doubtful whether
he should have anything to say for publi-
cation, even after he had received notifi-
cation. He had written .a few days ago
declining to resign. The letter has not
been made public, but it was evidently
considered unsatisfactory, and the reasons
said to have been assigned for his course
were not favorably regarded. The dis-
charge followed. ‘
General T. L. Watson is senior partner
in the firm of T. L. Watson do 00.,
bankers, of Bridgeport. He was born in
Bridgeport and is about 43 years old, He
began his business career in the Farmers’
Bank, of New Haven. Previous to start-
ing in business for himself he was con-
nected with the City National Bank. He
has been president of the Fairfield County
Agricultural Society, and auditor of the
City Savings Bank. He is at present a
director of the Boston & New York Air
Line, and a director of the Stock and
Petroleum Exchange, of New York. He
first entered the military service in May,
1877, as first lieutenant and paymaster of
the Fourth; July 6, 1878, he was made
captain and AD C on the brigade staff,
and January 30, 1879, major and brigade
quartcrmastcr. His commission as col-
onel of the Fourth is dated April 23, 1884.
He declined the office of adjutant-geu-
cral under Governor Lounsbury.
General Charles P. Graham, of Middle
town, has had nmeteen'ycars military
experience. He enlisted as a private in
Company H, Second Regiment, 1871, rose
to be captain in 1873, major of the reg-
iment in 1875, colonel in 1878, and was

appointed brigadler-general in 1835..

Horse Notes.

At Solman’s, South Norwalk, they
report a number of sales last week, among
them a large bay horse to Jacob Schaub,
the South Norwalk butcher; one to Saml.
Bailey, and one to W. Wakeman. They
also disposed of the large pacer to ex-
Mayor Comslock, who will not be obliged
to take every one’s dust the com-ing sum-
mer.

Holmes & Keclcr bought of M. B. Par-
sons, BrookSidc, a large grey work horse
for their business.

Wm. E. Dann has purchased P. W.
Bates’ trotting gelding, Geo. Wilkes.
This horse is said to be very fast, and if
properly handled the coming season will
bid fair to beat 2:30.

Thomas Ward has secured a promising
young colt from Solman’s. Tom is very
fond of the youngster, and thinks with a
little handling he. will beat his old stand-
by.

T. S. Morison purchased a bran new
turnout in New York last week, which
consisted of an elegant drag, capable of
of seating twelve or fourteen people, and
drawn by four very handsome horses.
The leaders are black and, as they came
up West avenue, by the way they were
arching their pretty necks seemed to
know they were being admired on all
sides. The wheel team are bays and
seemed determined not to let the leaders
outstyle them. Altogetherit lnadea very
handsome turnout and is a credit to Mr.
Morison’s tastes.

The United States Express Company’s
wagon appears on our streets this week
drawn by a splendid large horse. Ex-
pressman Morrell seems very proud of the
animal.

Hanford, the florist, has purchased of
Talmadge Baker, South Norwalk, a brown
Canadian horse for his business wagon.

 

Settled by Compromise.

The dispute between the Consolidated
and Housatonic railroads concerning prop-
erty in Bridgeport, has been settled by
compromise. The two companies own in
common a piece of land about fifty feet in
width, upon which there are four tracks;
the two westermost of these have been
used by the Consolidated and the two
eastcrmost by the Housatouic. These uses
will be resrved, and each company giants
to the other all its rights, title and interest
in the strip of land under the other’s tracks.
A division line between the properties
of two companies has been fixed at Gold
street, sweeping by in easy curve toward
the west; the Consolidated road granting
to the Housatonic all its property west of
this line, and the Housatonic conveying to
the Consolidated all that lies east of the
line. This makes the Housatonic road the
owner of the present passenger depot and
of the property bought by the Consolidated
of Giles & Clancy a few years ago at an
expense of $25,000. The Consolidated
road, however, will retain the use of the
basement and the first floor of the passen-
ger depot until it has erected a station of

its own. .

The Camp Fire.

Buckingham Post, G. A. IL, met in
old-fashioned camp fire at their head-
quarters on Wednesday evening last. In
addition to a large attendance of their own
members, there were delegations from the
Stamford, Westport and South Norwalk
Posts and many other old soldiers. The
following letter was read from Past
Chaplain-in-Chief Edward Anderson :

KIMBALLS, No. 6 ALLSTON Sin,
Bosros, Mass, Feb. 20, 1890.
Geo. I. Buxton, Adjt., etc.

'MY DEAR COMRADE :-—I am in receipt of
the card invitation to the camp fire for old
soldiers only, to be given by Buckingham
Post. (to which I am proud to belong), on
Wednesday evening, 26th inst., and I ap-
preciate the attention while I wish I could
be present,

Now that we have reached this remove
from the war which we love to comm-em-
crate, we have more of material for camp
fire contemplation than we had. We
fought to sustain and render invulnerable
our flag. God has shown us that He
meant a good deal more. We were build-
ing better than we knew, and the opening
years reveal to us the fact.
Slavery was swept away and a right
to citizenship was given to the frecdman.
Education and manhood came to the
heretofore down—trodden blacks. A new
consolidation came to our Union, and
prosperity was the natural result of' the
peaceful reconstruction.
But an effect has gone to the world, as
nations have seen what a strength there is
in a republic which is based on right
principles.
Every deepotism is in process of honey-
combing as to its foundations, and we are
to see, or our children will, that they dis-
solve for the reforming into a government
“by the people, and of the people, and for
the people,” on the basis of our own.
That the bad are nearer this we can see, 5
and the catastrophe which will prempitate f
the event we realize to be close at hand,
when, like a bolt out of a clear sky, comes
such a result to so good and apparently
stable a nation as Brazil. Such word as
we are liearinnr from the grinding despot-
ism of Russia is the first muttering of the
heaving volcano which must erupt. It is
not Nihilism, it is the ingrowing principle
of republicauism. It is the process of
righting, which was the basilar idea of
our war. .
When our camp fires are gone out on
earth, because the spirit of them has gone
with the spirits of the men who lighted
them, to be seen glowing by the river of
the water of life then it will be found
that over them has been heated the cru-
cibles wherein were fused the precious
metals of good governments, and that no
less than God has been watching and di-
recting their process. Then we shall
learn the depth of the outcome and all
that it means, as he stands beside our fires
of recount, and says to us : “Ye have
been faithful.”
“We are living, we are dwelling,
In a grand and awful time ;
In an age on ages telling;
To be living is sublime.”

I venture to send to the assembled
veterans my benediction and my comrade
love.

Aficctionatcly your comrade and friend
in F., C. and L.,

EDWARD ANDERSON.

The reading of the letter was followed
by interesting addresses, songs and recita—
tions. Past Department Chaplain T. K.
Noble gave some very interesting personal
reminiscences of the war. Capt. Wm. C.
Staples, of Westport, spoke for the navy
and Commander Palmer for Hobbic Post,
Stamford. Charley Hallock, of South
Norwalk was inspired by the occasion to
some very enthusiastic and feeling re-
marks, as was also General Couch, who
stated that he was a veteran of the vet-
erans, it being just forty-three years since
he went into his first battle at Buena
Vista, Mexico. The regular camp fire
feed 'was thoroughly enjoyed, and all ex-
pressed their pleasure and the wish the
the occasion might come oftener.

FUR 0APE$ & HAWKINS.

There is not amore popular garment among the ladies than a sealskin
and the fact that there is liable to be a. scarcity of skins will make this,
style even more popular. The United States government which owns the
Alaska seal territory, has restricted the catch this year to 605000, instead of.
100,060 skins.

The present year two new strong competing companies are in the field
to bid for the privilege against the old Alaska company. and; this in. connec-
tion with the restriction, is liable to double the price of sealskins, as- either
one of the above facts must increase the price.

Under the circumstances, any ladies contemplating buying sealskin gar—
ments wouldzdo well to invest in them now, as they may halve-to paydouble
the present price next year.

We have thirty-five Seal Garments left, all first-class, and we want the
room and money. We guarantee a saving of thirty per cent. on all goods.
