Another Railroad Story.

Danbury News: It seemed as if about
all the available territory between Danbury
and New York had been pretty well cov-
ered with railways, between the Ridgefield
and Port Chester road, and Ives extension,
the New Canaan branch, and numerOus
other projects not so fully developed.
But now comes the story that some enter-
prising enginecr has found room upon the
map for still another route, and a party of
surveyors are already at work. Just
what the road is, where it is going, or
from what point it is coming appear to be
matters of conjecture.

The Ridgcfield Press gives this informa-
tion :

As we have not had the pleasure of an-
nouucing the immediate construction of a
new railroad with Ridgcfield or Danbury
as an objective point very often, it gives
us unfeigned delight to do so now. This
time it is a sure thing. Our informant
assures us that there is no mistake about
it. “It is bound to go through.”

A party of fourteen surveyors are now
in the vicinity of Boutonville surveying
a line in this direction. They_ started
from the Harlem road near Kcnsrco, and
any one can see by referring to a map that
this will be the “shortest and only feasrble
route” from Danbury to New York.
There is plenty of capital back of this
enterprise to push it right through and it
is going to be done—or our informant is
mistaken. _

What a charming ride it Will be to New
York without change of cars. We shall
go past the Stone Hill through Bedford,
the home of John Jay, and the ancient
county seat of Westchester county, direct
to the city. There can be but one regret
and that is that Ruinvillc will still be left
atone side to languish, with polhmg to
cheer it but the memory of its former
greatness. _
The engineer in charge has voluntarily
contributed the following information to
one who had shown him a kindness.

The survey started from Crotou Land-
ing, and a feasible route so far has been
found. They are bound for Hawleyvdle
and this line will form part of a four-track
road from San Francisco to Boston. Only
think of Ridgcfield being on the great
highway of the nation, across this contin-
out. These surveyors are taking the
ratherunusual course of cross sectioning
the line with their first survey, and say
work will commence at an early date.
We give the information as we get it from
responsible parties. Who is hearing the
expense of keeping so many men in the
field is unknown.

 

4-0-
Scheele’s Sentence.

The text of Judge Phelps’ sentence in
the Jacob Schcclc case is as follows :—

“As the minister of the law it has be-
come my duty to pronounce upon you its
just sentence for the crime of murder in
the first degree of which you have been
found gully on a fair trial by an impartial
jury of this county after very earnest and
able cflorts of learned counsel in your
behalf.

“The crime charged against you is the
killing of Louis Drucker, one of your fol-
low townsmcn, and a respectable official
of the towu, with prcmcclitation and
mallce aforcthought.

“That the conclusion of the jury was
warranted by the evidence, I have no
doubt. By the taking of the life of your
victim, you have justly forfeited your
OWn, and have no reason to expect to
hope for a mitigation of the penalty which
the law imposes upon you.

“It was testified on your trial, that you
are a believer in the essential principles of
the Christian rcligiOn. If so, you will be-
lieve it to be your highest duty to yourself,
to spend the remaining days of your life
in a proper and necessary preparation for
eternity, and you should not doubt, that
although your crime is one of the most-
terriblc magnitude, even it may with
proper penitence be forgiven.

" l‘hc sentence of the court is, that you
be remanded to the county jail of Fairfield
county, situated in Bridgeport, in said
iconnty, there to remain until Thursday,
the 18th day of June, 1891, and that on
said day and within said jail, in an en-
closed yard thereof, so as to prevent pub-
lic observation, between the hours of 10
o’clock in the forenoon and 4 o’clock in
the afternoon, you be hanged by the neck
until you are (lead, and in your final sen~
fence at the last great day may the Lord,
the Infinite Judge, have mercy on your
soul.”

Letter from Sydney, New South Wales,
Australia.

Through favor of E. T. \Vhituey we are
pleased to copy portions of a letter, not in-
tended for publication, but full of interest,
from that far distant land. The letter was
written by Mrs. E. 0. Whitney, her hus-
band not being sufficiently recovered from a
serious fever on shipboard to write. They

left San Francisco March 8th and arrived at
Sydney, April 3d. But to the letter :—
Dear Mother :—-—The first week out was
rough and unpleasant, but when we reached
Honolulu it was delightful. One of our
passengers, Dr. McWayne, of Honolulu, in-
vited us to his house, where we partook of
breakfast. Think of strawberries and cream
and breakfast on land after tossing on ship-
board for a week. After breakfast the doc-
tor took us out to ride around the place, and
a prettier little place you cannot imagine.
It is rightly named “Paradise” and no mis-
take. The doctor’s home is a charming spot
surrounded with roses, ferns, tropical trees
and flowors of every description. The ferns
were of immense size, the largest I have
ever seen. You have only to put things in
the ground here, and the climate is such
that they will grow without further care.
The house, like most of them in Honolulu,
is but one story with a large veranda all
around it. It has no windows, only blinds,
and in the morning everything was thrown
Open and it was delightfully cool and pleas-
ant. Perhaps you know of the flower we
call tautana. On our drive we came across
whole fields of it growing wild. One of the
prettiest things we saw was a grove of
cocoanut trees belonging to the doctor’s
sister-in-law. There are any number of
Chinamen here, some of them very well off.
They grow a great deal of rice, also some-
thing they call “poi.” It grows the same as
rice, on the water, and, when ripe, it is
ground in a mill and then made into a kind
of mush. The natives live on it almost
entirely, and according to the thickness
they call it one, two and three fingers“ poi.”
When very thin they use three fingers to
eat it with, and when quite thick only one.
“'6 saw a whole family sitting on the floor
and enjoying a meal of it when on our drive.
This is the land of the Mother Hubbard
dresses. They claim to have been wearing
them for the past fifty years, and that here
the dress originated. “We drove past the
king’s palace, and his sister drove past us.
Before leaving Mrs. MclVayne presented
me with a “lay.” This is a wreath made by
stringing flowers together, and it is to be
worn around the neck. The flowers resem-
bled the honeysuckle, and, as each little
flower was strung separately, must have
been a good deal of work. She also gave
me a fan made by the natives. Aswe drove
to the steamer, I felt very gay dressed up in
the bright necklace. It is also the custom
for the people here to trim their hats
with natural flowers, the men even more
than the women. After leaving the Sand-
wich Islands we had a beautiful trip through
the tropics. It was one week before we
again saw land, and then only in the dis-
tance. We had hoped to reach the Damoan
Islands in the daytime but were disappoint-
ed. When we reached Tutuilla, the island
we came nearest to, we made no landing,
simply stopping a mile from the land to
leave the mail, which was taken ashore in a
small boat. About a dozen boats, contain-
ing fifteen or twenty natives each, came out
to the steamer. They were a fine looking lot
of men, large and powerful and splendidly
built and fine featured, and a large number
came on board. They had fans and numerous
other things to sell. To our right, about
thirty-five miles away, is another island, on
which is situated Apia, the seaport where
that terrible hurricane occurred about a
year ago. From here to New Zealand was
another week’s run, with pleasant weather
all the way. lVe had hoped to take a drive
about Aukland, but E. C. being sick pre-
vented. From Aukland to Sydney we made
in four days. Can tell you very little about
Sydney, as I have been out but once or
twice since we arrived. Coming into the
harbor we had a beautiful view of the place,
and it was far handsomer than we had any
idea of finding it. Too much cannot be said
in praise of their beautiful harbor, New York
or SnuFrnncisco are nowhere to be compar—
ed with it. Will leave E. C. to describe it
0 you, as I could not half do it justice.
Sydney is much larger than I expected to
find it, and the roads are as good as I have
ever seen. The houses are mostly built in
terraces except the very fine ones called
gentlemeu’s residences, and which mostly

grounds attached. The city is situated on a
Succession of hills all leading down to the
harbor, in itself not so large, but there are
a. number of suburbs out from it in all direc-
tions. They have no Street cars, instead,
use steam—trams; have not seen a hack or
four-wheeled carriage everything seemed to
be two wheeled cabs; you see handsome
private turnouts, but nothing you can hire.
Before coming here we were told that the
people worked only four days in the week,
and it seemed almost as if it were true.
Tile day after we arrived was Good Friday,
a legal holiday here, the next Saturday is
always a half holiday, then Easter Sunday,
and another holiday to-day, Easter Monday.
This is one of the greatest holidays—they
have the races for the Sydney cup, and I
believe is called “cup day.” The hotel we
are stopping at is a new one, everything
is nice and clean; it is the only hotel in the
place run on the European plan. On or-
dering some rare roast beef for my dinner,
yesterday, the girl. did not know what I'
meant. You cannot get such a thing as
rare roast beef, but you can get it underdolne.
The waiters in the hotels are all girls, and
they have bar-maids instead of men as we
do. In the basement you get a drink for"
six-pence, on the second floor another bar
where it is eight-pence, on the third floor
another where it is ' fifteen-pence, but one

 

 

face on the harbor, and have immense‘

who knows says the quality is all the some,
the style is,well- “English, you know.” The
children wear socks and very short dresses,
which leave a big expanse of bare legs,
which are as brown as berries. In driving,
they always turn out to the left,which seems
odd enough.

‘Il’hat we call pies they designate as tarts,
and the pies they bake in a deep pudding-
dish.with Only an upper crust. Instead of
using the word broiled in connection with
meats, they say grilled steak, etc. Molasses
is an unheard of thing, but you can buy
trea‘cle which is the same thing by another
name. Another funny thing is the way
they have of lighting,- in our hotel they
have electric light, but in others they use
candles. These are only a few of the pecu-
liarities of the country. Expect we shall
find more and more all the time.

I want to tell you of one of our fellow

passengers on the steamer from SunFran-
cisco. Mr. Lowry, by name. He was a mis-
sionary, and had his wife and little baby
with him on their way to the Hebrides
islands. They had been to their home in
Scotland for a little visit, where they‘ll-.51
left two of their children to be educated.
They had been at the islands for ten years,
andwere now going back for ten years more.
When they first went there, there were can-
nibals on the islands, and there was not a
widow to be found, as according to their
custom, when a man dies his wife is strang-
led and buried with him. Beside Mr.
Lowry there were odly two other white per‘
sons on the island where he was stationed,
and they were ten miles apart. Hearing
that my husband was better he came in to
see him the evening before we landed, and
we had a pleasant call, closing with relig-
ious exercises.
As the fever had left E. C. two days be-
fore this, he was able to get to the hotel
without great fatigue. He was very sick
for a few weeks, and it was a happy day
when the doctor said the fever had left him-
It left him very weak and thin, but he
thinks in a week he will be all right. Vith
love to all, LOTTIE.

“Hurryogrnphs” continue to arrive from
the vicinity of Chicago in profusion. This
time they are mostly a code of instructions
to the High Court of the U. S. directing as
to their duty on the liquor question.

Memorial day was well observed and its
return brought to mind many incidents of
the war. But how the ranks of the old vet-
erans are being thinned, many during the
past year being “mustered out.” The
memory of the brave defenders of our coun-
try should never be forgotten.

The Gospel Temperance meeting at Grand
Army Hall, on Sunday, was largely attend-
