NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 301890 . Our Bridseport Letter. Serious charges have been made against thirteen of our policemen, by Police Commissioner Grant. It seems that a party keeping a saloon in the certral por- tion of our city made an application for a license and upon the license being refused by the county commissioners withouta hearing, he asked for a hearing before the commissioners, which was granted him, and called the thirteen ofiicers of the police, above alluded to, who testified that they did not know the character of the house. On the other side a great many testified that the place was disreputable, consequently the license was refused. Police Commissioner Grant brought charges against these thirteen men, charg— ing them with neglect of duty, claiming that they should have known as guar- dians of the peace and in lookingr after the morals and welfare of the city. what the character of the house was. They have had two hearings and are to have another the 5th of August. The decision of the police commissioners is looked forward to with a great deal of interest. The police commissioners are. Hon. H. A. Bishop, president; W. E. Grant, Theo. O. Couse and Wm. B. Spencer. clerk. Mr. Bishop presides with dignity. The South church has passed resolu~ tions complimenting Chief of Police Ry- lands for the interest he manifests in breaking up places of low resort and bringing about a better state of morals in our city. Coroner Doten decided that the Housa— tonic railroad was not at fault for the fatal accident to Dr. Falken, whose un- timely death was noted in my letter of last week. Prof. H. H. Todd of Fairfield, N. Y., has been elected by the board of educa- tion, Vice—principal of the High school. this city. Mr. D. W. Kissam and his daughters, Misses Jennie and Bessie, are spend- the summer at the Montowese house, Brandford, Conn. Mr. K. goes to and from business every day. Mr. P. T. Barnum is estimated to be worth about $11,000,000. Many of our citizens put it at even higher than this. The East End is building up very rapidly since the completion of the East End railroad company, which extends about half way to Stratford. The Hon. D. F. Hollister is the owner ofalarge track of land in that section of our city. He purchased this land some years since at a moderate price and he is now reaping the benefits of his investment, in the rapid growth of that part of the city. Besides owning several parcels of land in different locations at the East End. he owns a single lot containing about ’70 acres with the railroad running throught it. This piece of property has recently been laid out with wide streets. The Keller Bros., the well known piano manufacturers are erecting a large brick structure which will also add to the growth of this section. Miss Mamie Broune, stcnographer and bookkeeper for Louis H. Lyon, the insur- ance agent, 15 spending a six weeks vaca- tion with friends at Long Branch, Nor- walk and Westport. W. B. Hall 8:. Co., have several Norwalk young men in his employ as clerks and it is hinted, that this is the reason so many of Norwalk’s young ladies are attracted to this store. A syndicate from Rochester N. Y., have been given the option to purchase the plant of the Bridgeport horse railroad company, between now and January 1, 1891. Chas. Beers formerly of your place, lies dangerously ill, with blood poisoning, at his residence on West avenue. Mr. James Beers of your place is his brother. Mr. James L. Harlem’s condition has not improved. His physicians pronounce his case hopeless as he has a tumor of a cancerous nature in his left side. Rev. Dr. Hovey preached his farcwel sermon yesterday in the Park street Con- gregational church. At the close of his sermon he bade an affectionate farewell. 3.ev. Mr. Dunning of South Norwalk, preached an able and impressive sermon yesterday in the North church, on the “Mysteries of God.” At the close of the service a number of prominent members of the church met him in the vestibule of the church and thanked him kindly for his very able sermon. I see by the GAZETTE that. .llss Julia 13. Lockwood has presented the Congrega— tional church with a new bell. It is very noble and generous on her part to present her old church with a new bell, butI notice that you say it will have to be taken down and replaced bya new one on account of. the tone not being satis— factory. Asimiliar trouble was experi— enced here in gettingabell suitable for the court house. The first bell was built by a firm in Troy, but was not loud enough. Anew one was made by the De-Oxidized Metal Co., of this city and it gives general satisfaction. Mr. E. F. Strong’s appointment as United States Marshal is received here with universal satisfaction. The first public position that Mr. Strong held in this city was as the principal of the Pros— pect. street High school. which position he held for seven years, after which he established a sclrct school for boys, which he conducted for fourteen years, and by a vote of the legislature the school was furnished with muskets and equip- ments from the state arsenal. Since that time he has held offices in the city and town governments, and for :1 numbers of years has been a member of the board Of education and selectmen. For a time he was where town agent he showed: him- self to he a man of sound judgment and good execuliVe ability. Mr. Strong poem-sees a high character and an unblem- ished reputation, and is in every way well qualified to fill the oflice of United States Marshal. His friends heartily congratu— late him on his appointment. Mrs. John D. Candce and Miss Lulu and Miss Hattie Candee, her daughters, arrived home on Wednesday. from their trip to California. Mrs. Candee is very much improved in health by the trip. Prosecuting Attorney Chamberlain was _ applied to on Saturday, by Donald the Aeronaut, for permission to send up his balloon on Sunday,but he was given some good advice on Sunday observance in~ stead, and in plain language Mr. Cham- berlain told him that he would not give his concent to let him send up the balloon on Sunday. ilr. Chamberlain believes in keeping the Sabbath Dav holy. w. G. 1.. Bridgeport, Conn., July 28th, 1890. NEIV-CANAAJV. Although the weather was threatening the ladies of the Congregational church held a most successful lawn party on the church grounds, last Thursday afternoon and even~ ing. From the moment the gate was opened in the afternoon until as late as ten in the evening the ample grounds were well filled with people, quite a number coming from out of town, especially from Norwalk. From the gate receipts it is clear that more than six hundred people were present, and each man, woman and child must have spent on an average a dollar each, for the ladies have realized more than six hundred dollars. To specify all the attractions at the artist’s booth, the housekeeper’s booth, at the bakery, candy, ice cream and litera- ture booths, would take more thanacol- umn. The decorations were even prettier than last year, everyone was happy, the result was all that could be expected, and what more could you say? Mrs. \VOodward, of Springfield, 111., visited with Mrs. A.S. Comstock, last week. Dr. Brownson has received word of the safe arrival on time at Antwerp, of the steamer Nordland, Red Star Line. in which his two sons, Carlton and \Vendel, sailed on her last voyage east. Delightful weather in the Catskills, and .a thoroughly enjoyable outing is the report that reaches us from Mrs. Brounson, Mrs. Ayres, Mrs. Demeritt, and Miss Clark, who together are doing this famous resort. Our selectmen have added to the numer- ous gifts of nature in the shape of Ridges in this section, by building another Ridge, upon the Ridge, (bear heavy on that “the”) so called by the folks who live on the Ridge. But said Ridge should be removed in a dump cart. The meeting of the town to consider the matter of rescinding the vote passed on July 12th to rent rooms for the town offices in the new Opera Home, was the largest gathering of ourcitlzens for years. Although there was great interest, the meeting was orderly throughout. The final vote. was 115 not to rescind; 98 affirmative. Mr. F. M. Bliss has been elected presi- dent of the Library, in the place of Senator B. P. Mead, who resigned. The report shows the institution to be in a flourishing condition. but all of our citizens should take even more interest in it. Miss Wilson, of New York, who is visit- ing with Miss Sophie \Volfel, is an expert tandem safety ride. Charlie Rogers started with his uncle, Mr. Stephen Comstock, of Norwalk, on a bicycle trip through the country. The party will visit Stockbridge and Lenox iii the Berkshires, and travel west to the Hudson River. They will see some of the most charming scenery 5' this and in New York state before they return. If anyone desires a large building for manufacturing purposes, the old town house, which will 110w be available, could easily be 'adapted to the requirements of any concern. It is centrally located, and the rent would not be higli.‘ It would make a splendid hat shop or a shoe factory, and a good man- ufacturer would be welcomed. Dr. Thompson and family have “Daar- ina” for a month, and are camping out in the Adirondacks. Mr. Hopkins’ subject at the Congrega- tional church last Sunday morning, was the five points of modern Christianity :——“The Fatherhood of God, the Brotherhood of Man, Purity of Life, Sacrifice of Self, and Devotion to the Public Good.” Although it was a very warm and humid morning there was a large congregation. Mrs. Henshaw sang for an Oflertory solo, “One Sweetly Solemn Thought.” Mr. Butler has his residence on Ponus street full of boarders. Among his guests are Dr. and Mrs. Benedict, of New York. The doctor is a young but rising physician in the metropolis. The heavy rains on Friday and Saturday were a God-send to farmers. Especially corn and potatoes were suffering, but they now lift up their heads and laugh. Empty cisterns are filled, and wells flint were nearly dry are quite full. The New York papers announce that Dr. .Willard Parker has consented to receive subscriptions for the relief of a physmian who wore himself out taking care ofiGen. Grant. As is well known Dr. Parker is one of our esteemed summer residents, as was his famous father. Dr. Lambert’s family have not been with us this summer. Their residence is closed and they are at their Island cottage in Norwalk harbor. Mr. Francis Broun’s family expect soon to occupy a cottage at Bell Island. This very pleasant and desirable resort is becom- ing more popular with our people every year. The scarcity of water and houses, and the rather high rents are the only draw—backs to the place. .__.___..._‘*.>_______._.__ Drunkenness.~Liquor Habit. 111 21.11 the. world there is but one cure, Dr. l-laiuc’s Golden Specific.

Swords, and the female por- tion of her family, have left for an extended visit in the eastern states and other places. The Third party Prohibitionists are on deck early with candidates for various conventions. It is thought that C. Byxbee and Wesley VanHouton may be elected to the county convention. Rev. Mr. \Voolly occupied the pulpit of the Congregational church, on Sunday, entertaining and profiling his hearers with earnest words. The railroad platform was“ used on Sat- 11 large crowd to listen to his dulcet notes. At some seasons of the year there is much said by a few in this city on the subject of prohibition of the liquor trafiie. It has had no beneficial influence, except to keep together a very small number, who call themselves Third party men, who fail to prohibit. This season prohibition has pre- vailed on the application of six men who wanted to sell rum for a living. It is such men and such facts as were presented to the County commissioners here last week which prohibits, and is the only kind which will prevail. The Third party men were con- spicuous, as usual, by their absence. Palpitation of the heart, nervousness, tremblings, nervous headache, cold hands and feet, pain in the back, and other forms of weakness are relieved by Carter’s Iron Pills, made specially for the blood, nerves and complexion. scaarcasts YEARS. A Scaly, Itching, Skin Disease with Endless Suffering, Cured by Cuticura Reiurdies. It 1 had known of the CUTICURA REMEDIES twenty-eight years ago, it. would have saved me $200 and an immense amount of suffering. My disease, (psoriasis) commenced on my head in a spot not larger then a cent. It spread rapidly all 2. 3, over my body, and got under , 1.4;: e, my nails. The scales would- " drop off of me all the time, ' and my suffering was endless. and without relief. One thou- sand dollars would not tempt me to have this disease over again. I am a. poor man, but feel rich to be relieved of what some of the doctors said was leprosy, some ringwormwpso- 'riasis, etc. I cannot praise : the CUTICURA REMEDIES too ' They have made my i- ! - .' skin as clear and free from scales as a. baby’s. All 1 used of them was $5 worth. If you had been here and said you would have cared me for $200 you would have had the money. I looked like the picture '(No. 2, page 47) in your boo. . “How to Cure Skin Diseases," but now I am as clear as any person ever was. Through force of habit I rub my hands over my arms and legs to scratch once tn a while, but to no purpose. I am all well. I scratched twenty-eight years and it got to be a kind of second nature to me. I thank you a thou- sand times. DENNIS DO WNIN G, Waterbury, Vt. GUTIGURA RESOLVENT.

It also allows a pension of from $6 to $12 per month to all who served ninety days in the Military or Naval service during the late war, who are by reason of physical or mental disability unable to earn their support by manual labor. Under this section of the law many who are now receiving only $2 or $4 per month could easily obtain an increase. Widows of those who served as above for a period of nine- ty days or more, who are dependent upon their own labor for support, will. receive, upon submittance of proper evidence, $8 per month, and $2 per month for each minor child under sixteen (1(3) years of age, and this regardless of the fact whether death was the result of army service or not.
