The price of ice in New Haven is $20

Governor Gordon, of Georgia, is the last
prominent man to declare that something

Wallace Dann home to dinner yesterday,

quisitive childhood. he promptly put a
question that staggered his uncle Wallace,
viz.:—“IS Jesus buried there, uncle ?”

been indebted to the Roman Catholic
church for its success and prosperity.”

The death of efoostmaster George H.
Paul, of Milwaukee, is deeply deplored
bytlie press of that city. Those papers
which fought him so Vigorously when
living now admit that he was an honora-
ble, competent gentleman and official, and
that his death is a loss to the community.
What a pity that the truth cannot always
be told of the living.
The privilege of advertising in the
Brooklyn bridge cars has been sold for
$15,000 a year to parties of whom ex-
Congressman Tim Cambell is one. And
now ex-Trustec Higgins, of the bridge
company, wants to know why the privi-
lege was sold so cheap, when he himself
was willing to pay $550,000 for it. Mr.
Higgins is too slow to be much of a poll-
ticran.
Samuel S. Cogill, son of Supervisor F.
M._Cogill of the Housatonic system, died
Friday morning at the residence of his
parents, in Bridgeport. The deceased
was seventeen years of age, and although
never very strong physically had fairly
good health until he was taken down with
the grip about five months ago. The
conplications following this attack in-
cluded lung troubles from which he
suffered greatly and which were chiefly
the cause of his demise—Bridgeport For-
mar.
A New York press dispatch says:—
“James W. Hyatt, cx-United States
Treasurer, has announced his intention
of being a candidate for the democratic
nomination for governor next fall. Mr.
Hyatt is one of the foremost democrats
in Connecticut, and with his name at the
head of the ticket the party will have a
leader, which, it is thought, will insure for
ting-7,3 garlecid‘ed ,vicforygin the "coating,
contest.”
At Pittsburg the number of carriages
and buggies used has decreased 225 dur-
ing the past year. This is attributed to
the improvement in the street-car service.
Isn’t here a valuable hint to President
Hyatt to extend and unite his three West
avenue turn-out switches, into one con-
tinuous line, thus practically double-track-
ing his line and enabling his cars to await
the same punctuality that he connects
with all outgoing trains.
The Mechanics’ Journal gives the right-
eous barber's of South Norwalk this little
dig in the ribs: “Although Judge Aus-
tin’s decision was wholly in favor of per-
mitting the barbers to prepare their
customers for church on Sunday morn-
ings, yet none of the bar-hers in this city
dared to open their places of business.
Whatis law in one part of the town, is a
violation of it in another, it seems.
Rather queer, isn’t it?”

Dr. McGonegal and H. D. Cornell went
trout fishing at Armonk last week, and in
two days caught 131 trout. Both are
expert anglers, and enjoyed the trip to its
fullest extent. The hospitality of their
host, too, was an enjoyable feature of
their expedition. On leaving for home,
Cornell asked him if there was anything
more to pay, and received the reply:
“Well, yes, rather; 25 cents for that car

participated and was liberally applauded.
The church of the Con gregationalSociety
in Fairfield, which was entirely destroyed
by fire Thursday night was one of the
land-marks cf Fairficld county, having
been‘ erected long. years age." It had al-
ways .been' kept in good repair and such":
changes had been made from time to time
as the demand called for. It was one of the
most comfortable and pleasant structures
that the present has received from former
generations and its loss will be more
severely felt on account of its historical
associations.
Detective Frank B. Taylor is one of the
census enumerators in Bridgeport, and in
anticipation of the indignant protests
which are threatened he will go around
with one of his “persuaders” and besides,
according to the Standard, “he is armed
with a base ball mask, had a sheet iron
vest made, and is going to have a cab
follow him in order to get out of the way,
if forced to. He has been there before,
and knows the dangers an enumerator is
liable to encounter.”
The Standard says: The Court steno-
grapher made sm m'nusing mistake in tak-
ing down the introduction of the defense
given by Attorney Light before the jury
in the Scheelc case. Mr. Light said, “You
are asked, gentlemen, by the state to take
from this man the gift of Deity, namely-
hiinfc.” When reading over the stem-
grapher’s report Attorney Light was sur-
prised to find that he had been made to
say, “You are asked, gentlemen, by the
state, to take from this man the giftof
Deity, namely—his wife.”
Mr. Chistopher L. Magee has drawn his
check in the sum of $10,000 for the
erection of a newsboys’ home in Pittsburg.
The gift was made in the name of Mrs.
Magoo, who has always taken a gieat iii-
terest in the little street merchants. A
successful newspapers cannot afford to be
Selfish and. greedy, and theSc who- eon-tir-
bute to its success should be made to
know that their services are appreciated.
It is the observance of this rule which
has enabled Mr. Magec to establish the
Pittsburg Times, one of the m’arked news-
paper successes of the age. .
Patrick Haugh, has brought a civil suit
against Patrick Collins. claiming $100
damages for assault. The parties to the
suit are two well-known hattcrs. Collins,
it will be remembered, called Haugh
across the street as they came out of St.
Mary’s church one eveninga few weeks
ago, and struck him in the eye, wreathing
it in black. The assault, it was said at
the time, grew out of the hatters’ strike.
Collins was arrested and fined and sent to
jail for fifteen days, but was released on a
writ of habeas corpus, granted by Judge
Fenn, hence the suit in question. The
case will be tried before Justice Morrell
at the Court House up town next Satur-
day.——Sentz'nel.
Edward McFarland, a young tough, was
arrested on Wednesday night last, while
in the act of committing a burglary in the
rear of the New York Tea store on Main
street. The detection was effected through
the foresight of Chief Buttery who sta—
tioncda plucky boy named Slattcry to
watch the place. It was about 12 o’clock
when Slattery’s whisile was sounded, and
Officers Gormley and Adams rushed around
the building from opposite directions.
Gormley met the fleeing burglar, who, on
seeing the brass buttons, turned around
and received an affectionate welcome in the
outstretched arms of Adams, Chief But—
terybeiug stationed at a third exit to
avoid a possible escape. Cornelius Sparks
was seen in McFarland’s company, and
while he was in the crowd that followed
the officers to the lockup, he also was
taken into custody. George Keller was
arrested earlier on suspicion. The next
day McFarland was held in $600 for trial
before the Superior court. The other two
were let off owing to insufficient evidence.
Afrightfulaccidcnt occurred in Dan.
bury, Monday afternoon. While a num—
ber of workmen were engaged in working
on Hull & Rogers’ new building, at; the
corner of Main and Liberty Streets, it
collapsed Without the least warning and
the men were buried in the ruins. Several
of the workmen jumped to save them—
selves, but four were carried down to the
cellar, a distance of thirty feet, and buried
beneath the ruins. All possible haste
was made to rescue the unfortunate
men. Standing on the first floor was
William Wren. He was at work on a
hoisting apparatus when the crash came.
On the upper floor stood three men.
They were John Wren, Timothy Wren
and Bernard Neary. William Wren was
the first of the men to be taken out. He
was unconscious andblood was oozing
from a dozen wounds. Several of his ribs
were broken and his head 'and side were
terribly cut. It is also feared that he is
hurt internally. All the others were badly
hurt, Timothy having five ugly gushes in.
his head. Neary was the least injured of
all. All were taken to the hospital.
Says the Danbury News: In certain
parts of Italy there is a superstition that a
child born out doors sees nothing buf.
good luck during its lifetime. In accord-
ance with that superstition an Italian
woman, living on Knapp’s court, Saturday,
about 11 o’clock, ran hastily under the
bridge on Patch Street. She there alone .
and unassisted gave birth to a female
child,and, within fifteen minutes after- .
wards, she had picked the little one up
and carried it into the house as if nothing
unusual had happened.
" Numerous em'npiahit's~ have 'héén"'ifiiade
from time to time by the apple growers
and elder makers of Connecticut against
the law which permits the use of alcholic
vapor in the manufacture of vinegar. The
McKinley bill as it passed the house re-
pealed the law and if the senate does not
meddle with that part of the bill, the farm
ers will have occasion to again be thankful
for this measure. But it is by no means
" certain that the senate will not meddle.
It is understood that the senators from the
west are opposed to having vinegar made
purely from apples and will object strenu»
' ously to the repeal of the present law.

Griffin d: illcElroy of Bridgeport are now
turning out artificial ice from their new
refrigerating machine. The first cakes
manufactured were eyed with great curios-
ity and wonder lty a large crowd of
Bridgeportcrs, and among the spectators,
says the Bridgeport New, was a local ice
dealer. The complimentary remarks on
the new ice did not sound pleasant to his
ears, and lielicgzui boasting. that natural ,
ice would “stand up" longer than the
artificial. “Upon hearing this,” says the
Nuts, “one of the firm stepped forward to
wager $10 that if a cake of natural ice
Weighing the same as a cake of his artifi-
cial ice were placed together in the sun,
the artificial icc would stand up a third
longer in time than the ice of natural for-
mation. The natural ice dealer refused to
accept the wager.
The venerable mother of EditorBy—
ington of the GAZETTE, celebrated her
eighty-fifth birthday on Wednesday, May
28th, with her children, in Washington.
Although so advanced in years, she can
read without glasses, her hair is still as
black as a raven and she is as Spry on her
feet as a cricket. When nine years of age,
or seventy-six years ago, she sang in the
choir of the First Congregational church,
of this place. Two years subsequent, or
seventy four years ago, Miss Julia A.
Lockwood, of this town, became a mem-
ber of the same choir, and on the occasion
of Miss Lockwood’s recent visit to Wash-
ington, she called on her old choir and
Sundayschool mate and both talked over
old times and recalled biographies of
Norwalk’s ancient residents, most of
whom are dead, with the enthusiasm of
girls.—Record.

Joe Gebhart, a young boy, was so
severely punished a week ago at Daven-
port School, in New Haven, that it brought
on epileps ,, from which he died on Thurs-
day. He {vas whipped for truancy. He
has been subject to fits and besides had a
rupture, but this was evidently unknown
to Principal Lewis, who did the whipping,
and his physical condition was such that
the whipping superinduced epilepsy which
caused his death. Complaint has been .
made to the board of education and the
affair will probably create great trouble.
The coroner and medical examiner are
investigating the case. The whipping was
very severe for the body still bears the
marks of the lash. In performing the
castigation Principal Lewis strapped Geh-
liart toa bench and during the process
the bench fell over.
