An Enterprising Republican Journal, especially devoted to Local News and Interests. N ORWALK, CONN., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1890. Yesterday was a bad day for the open- ing of the races on the Fair Grounds. But as a bad beginning proverbially insures a good ending, it is hoped the rest of the week will be auspicious. Jennings of the Post says: The Housa— tonic Railroad Company have opened a freight office in the Congregational chapel, at South Norwalk, which they recently purchased from theCongregationalSociety. ‘Landlord Walz, of the Mahaekemo Hotel, city, came up to . the borough Monday morning. He informed an in- quirer that he came up to see if he couldn’t get a lease of Brother Keeler’s New Hotel. A Birmingham writer declares that there is a patent called a chicken hobbler which can be attached to the leg of a chicken and the moment it attempts to scratch, the hobbler hobbles it until it is walked out of the garden. The Journal says: “The magnificent array of butchers from this town on the day of the butchers’ barbecue in Danbury looked good enough to eat.” And it is town talk in Danbury that they did eat, most voraciously. The community, and especially the Baptist church congregation, will regret to learn that the Rev. C. E. Torrey has acceptedacall to Decatur, llls., and will read his resignation of his Norwalk pastorate this week. Constable Morehonse arrested Wm. H. Crittenden, Wednesday, for an assault on John Grant, brought about, ’tis said, by Crittenden’s attentions to Mrs. Grant. Justice Selleck fined the prisoner $3 and costs, which he paid. The Messenger says a number of New Canan young people came to Norwalk to see the country cousin Wednesday night. There are lots of Norwalk boys who visit their country cousins in New Canaan several times a week. Says Bill May in the Bridgeport Sun .- “ We to the manor born, who have al- ways been here don’t want to be dictated to by upstarts.” That’s right. The man with the fiddle box has the right of way over the chap with the carpet bag. Giovanni Guerneiri’s little two-years-old child had a narrow escape from being run over and killed by the Pittsficld express at the Water street crossing, on Thursday afternoon, and nothing but the prompt action of Gate—tender Marsh saved its life. A. W. Perrin, G. P. A. of the House.— tonic railroad went out of town like blazes in a blazer on the Saratoga excur— sion. He blazed around at the springs in a blaze of glory for four days and return— ed last night looking quite blase, but hap- py.—Bpt. Sun. W. F. Renoud’s barn at Cannon Station, was destroyed by fire, together with two horses, wagons, harnesses &e., about 11 o’clock, Wednesday night, entailing a loss of over $1,000. It was only with great difficulty that adjoining buildings were saved. Good Deacon Main’s wife has had a second stroke of paralysis tho’ most seri- ous apprehensions are felt concerning her, although she was able to be removed on Friday from her present home in Brook— lyn, to her childhood home in George— town. Robert Kohlus, a married man, and Lillie Ingalls, a married woman, both members of Bridgeport’s Not Four Hun- dred, eloped some days ago, and were captured last week by the police. When discovered they were fast asleep on a hay loft in a barn. According to the reports of the big G. A. R. parade in Boston last week, the first band in the Connecticut department of the column was “Tubbs’ band, of Nor- walk, 27 pieces.” Will Tubbs’ band, of Norwalk. please stand up and have. their census taken. The Ansonia Sentinel prints a modest little snake story about a Derby avenue girl who mistook a striped adder for a stick of firewood, picked it up and put it into the stove. To clinch the story it says, “our informant. has seen the stove in which the snake was put.” Yes, decent people who would protect people from thieves and robbers oppose the Louisiana lottery, even at a million dollars a year license to the state that will permit its offices and existence. Yet, all the Louisiana lotteries is a saint compared to the drunkard and pauper making bus- iness which is licensed to tempt and destroy with liquors.—Pomeroy’s Demo- crat. James Halpin, a brakeman on the Con- solidated road fell while attempting to board his train at South Norwalk Friday evening, and his right leg was run over and nearly severed from the body. His home is in Ridgefield and he was for a number of years a brakeman on Conductor Pulling’s passenger train. According to. a telegram, “lightning struck a man in Springfield, 0., killed him, burned the sign of a cross on his back, and then dug a hole in the ground behind him the exact size and shape of a grave.” It_1s also rumored that the elec- tric bolt paid all the funeral expenses, or- dered a. monument for his grave, and of- fered to marry his widow, but the report lacks confirmation.—Norrzfstown:Herdld. Yesterday morning three young ladies took unto themselves a wheel each and started for Dorlon’s for breakfast 7 o’clock. Steamboats whistled good speed as the wheels passed them. An early riser may sec working people going to their respec- tive factories on wheels. A visitor remarked the other day, in speaking of the democratic Record nom- inating candidates for the republican state ticket, that as whiskey and water make a cocktail, the Record should change its name to The Cocktail. Our exchange borrower assures us, however, that a cocktail is a very good thing. Frank A. Hosmer, of Gt. Barrington, recently editor of the Berkshire Courier, has been elected president of the O. A. H. U., the principal educational institution of Honolulu, and has accepted the posi- tion. He is only 35 years of age, a young man of unusual talents, remarkable attain- ments and genial disposition. Here’s another dig at Youngest Veteran Rose, from Joe Howard of the New York Bess :—“ The war began twenty-nine years ago and ended a quarter of a centu- ry ago. ‘Veterans’ of 40 to 45 are nu- merous to-day, but just how effective they were in 1861— 5 is a problem. Bos— ton saw the genuine article on Tuesday.” Fred Betts, of the GAZETTE composing rooms, has just returned from a week of recreation in Boston, Providence, New- port, and other high-toned resorts. He declines to state whether or not he posed in the attitude of an Italian count, but the devil has discovered that there is a picture .in the locket that adorns his watch chain. An Italian was fined $1.00 and costs in Torrington last week for picking huckle— berries on Sunday on LutherMiller’s land. Mr. Miller says he don’t care how many huckleberries they pick on week days, but he’ll prosecute every —- —— — he catches pikincg huckleberries on Sunday. That’s the kind of a huckleberry Mr. Miller is. J. Belden Hurlbutt, Esq., now boards the train while it is standing still. He thinks he makes a better appearance by so doing than by wrestling with it after it gets under, headway. and putting on flourishes and turning flip-flaps and play- ing leapfrog with himself before a crowd, and getting no applause except a sprained wrist and a scratch on the head. “Let’s cross over there and hear them tellers play on them harmonicas; they seem to be playin’ a lively jig,” remarked a Weston granger to his companion on Main street the other day. They crossed over to Uncle John Collins’ restaurant, but sneaked silently away when they dis- covered that the supposed harmonica players were some of the boarders chew- ing green corn off the ear. —-Everything pertaining to horse fur- nishings, carriages, etc., at greatly reduc- ed priccs, at W. E. Dann’s, 50 Wall St. 17 Judge Andrew Selleck has sold his handsome place on Mott avenue to Mr. W. C. Marsh, of Bridgeport, and has pur— chased the palatial residence known as the Allen place, in Stratford. The Judge will continue to occupy his Norwalk residence until October 1st, and possibly longer. It is possible that he may sell his newly acquired property after putting it in thorough repair, prov1ding an accept— able olfer is made him. In that case, of course, he will come back to Norwalk to remain forever. A tramp entered a house in Bridgeport the other day, and, seeing the lady of the house asleep on the. lounge, considerately refrained from disturbing her peaceful slumbers and waited on himself, taking a whole ham from the pantry. When the lady discovered what had been done she was quite put out to think she had allowed the visitor to wait on himself. She got some of the neighbors to help her try to find him to get his forgiveness and the ham back, but he had fled. John E. Lovell, the veteran master of the Lancastrian school at New Haven, whose 95th birthday was celebrated by the men he had helped to educate, among them being 001. Sam Daskam of Norwalk, with a dinner at New Haven last winter, recently went to New Haven from his home at Waterbury to have an operation performed. He seemed so frail last win- ter that his grown-up school boys feared that they were present at their last ,reun— ion with him. This summer, however, seems to have given him a new lease of life. His step seems to be as prompt and elastic as in his younger days. The members of Company F, who had “got their mouths all fixed” and were looking forward with expectancy to the prospect of going into camp under com— mand of First Lieutenant Henry Mathies, were considerably taken back when, on assembling at the Armory, Monday morn- ing, “Billy” Stevens proclaimed himself captain, his commission having arrived on the last“ mail Saturday evening.' Mr. Stevens is a thorough tactieian, and says he purposes to run the company as cap- tain, and to be the only captain in the company. AUsefnl Present in every package Sevens; the:best Washing Powder. Sold by grocers Another tale dear to the youthful heart has been torn from the pages of history and relegated to those of legendary tradi- tion. William Tell is no longer a histor- ical character. At least he is not in Switz- erland, where one would naturally sup- pose his fame was certain, for the Gow ernment has ordered the story of his as- sault upon the tyrant Gessler and his re~ markable skill at archery to be expunged from the school books on the ground that they have been proven fictitious. Photographer Readman arrived home from Washington, Sunday evening, where he had been in attendance at the eleventh annual convention of the Photographers Association of the United States. He was present at the reception given the photo- graphers by the President, and also at the unveiling of the statue to Daguerre at the Smithsonian Institute. He also visited Mount Vernon, the home of Washington on an excursion which was run especially for the benefit of the photographers. About twenty members of Pioneer hook and ladder company went to Bridgeport on Friday, to return a fraternal visit re- cently made them by the Seamstress engine company. They were met at the depot by the Bridgeport firemen, and escorted to the headquarters for a lunch, after which a game of base ball was played on Seaside Park, which was won by the Seamstress nine with the horrible score of 23 to 6. ' A magnificent shore dinner was served in the pavilion in the evening, and our boys returned on a late train overjoyed with their entertainment. The authorities of Portchester, N. Y., have set a good example in ordering the wandering artist who paints scriptural quo- tations on rocks and fences to keep away from that place. They have given him fair warning and propose to arrest him if he is ever caught in the act of decorating nature in this way again—Sentinel If the Consolidated Railroad inSpired this repressive measure at Port Chester, it was fully justified, for all over the stone abut- ments of the arches spanning the roadways beneath the tracks and where commuters for years have predicted some terrible accident as sure to come, this stencil-artist-crank has painted such terrifying admonitions as these: “Death’s Coming.” “ Beware a. Burning Hell.” “ Death is certain.” “ De- struction awaits you,” and the like which many patrons of the road deem too practic- ally suggestiye for comfort. The following from an exchange will be heartily endorsed by our readers. It walks hard on the cams of a species of cattle that abound in N orwalk : Of all the cowardly hypocrites on earth, the one. who will profess to know some— thing derogatory to the character of an- other and yet is not honest enough to boldly tell it, but will slyly insinuate with bated breath that there is a terrible thing behind if the people only knew it, is the meanest. Pin one of these hypocrites down and ask them what they really know and you find that they actually know nothing of what they are talking about. What they repeat they have heard from other vile slauderers, who doubtless know as little about the matter as they do. Tell one of them that you are going to investi— gate the insinuation they are making and they will beg you piteously not to use their names. Of course they are willing to run from one to another and repeat damaging insinuations, but they have not the courage to come up manfully and boldly, and half right the wrong. This would be contrary to their cowardly sneaking natures. There is nothing man- ly, nothing to be admired in the cowardly, contemptible vile slander bearer. They are servants of the devil. It isn’t to be wondered at that a New York music publishing house has made a big offer to Col. Stevenson for all the music he can write, for according to the rhapsodical Bridgeport reporter of the World the versatile Colonel is the Haggard of music writing. Just listen to the twanging of the tuneful lyre in last Sun- day’s issue :— “A new piece to be brought Out is the latest composition by 001. William H. Stevenson, the gavotte ‘Minnette.’ It begins like the great organ of eternity that plays from the world’s end to the world’s end and all the angels at prayers. Then the music changes like falling water, full of feeling and thought, and drops clear and sweet like tears of joy falling into a lake of glory.” There is a gem of literary architecture for you, which is no less entrancing than the music it describes. But what a tune that must be ! Worthy the immortal “Ruby” himself. And Col. Stevenson is fortunate in his selection of the Wheeler & Wilson band to bring it out. They’ll bring out all that glory, and eternity, and joy and angels and world’s ends and things in proper style. Some other bands in Fairfield county, that we might men- tion, would be apt to make a botch of it and start it off like the great thrashing machine of all get-out, that clatters from the beginning of the world to the tail end of Trumbull and all the hoodlums playing penny ante; then change the action to the tune the old cow died on, like a rip- roaring wash-out full of . railroad bridges and ash barrels that drop with a dull, sickening thud like a thousand of brick falling through a sky-light, or buckets of mud being dumped into a cess-pool. How— ever that would be no fault of the compos- er,:nor would it jeopardize his chances of getting the democratic nomination for Governor. did GAZETTE. TWO DOLLARS A YEAR NUMBER 84. The Norwalk Hat Finishers’iassociation will hold their annual picnic at the Fair Grounds, on Labor Day, Sept. lst. Bicy- cle races, horse trot, pedestrian races, dancing, 85c. are among the attractions. Heine’s band will furnish music. The money is all put up for the race between Hines’ boat, “Wombat," and Brotherton’s skip-jack “Hattie,” both cat- rigged, to be sailed to—day at 12 o’clock, starting from Dorlon Point and sailing three or four miles to windward and return. The stakes are $50 a side and the championship. Landlord Pow— ers‘ is to present to the winner a ten foot pennant containing the word“Champion.” The boats are each fourteen feet long. Young Fred McLean is a bad egg, and no mistake. A year or so ago he was sent to the Reform School for stealing from the pockets of his fellow members of the Young Men’s Christian Association. By some means he recently got out and came back to;his parents here in Norwalk. On Friday evening he was arrested in a sa— loon, on a charge of stealing $40 from the pocket of Mr. J. B. Wheeler. the South Norwalk newsman. He was brought be- fore Judge Selleck in Lawyer Loekwood’s office on Saturday morning, where he plead guilty and was bound over in $200 for trial at the September term of the Sir-- perior court. Twenty dollars in money was found on his person, which he ad— mitted was stolen from Mr. Wheeler and a Manhattan watch worth $15 was also found on him, which he willingly agreed to give Mr. Wheeler in lieu of the bah of the money which he said he had spent. Being unable to obtain a bondsman he was kept in the custody of the officer awaiting transportation to jail. Before being taken to Bridgeport, however, it was discovered that the watch belonged to newsdealer Benedict, who, up to that time, had not missed it, although he knew his store had been entered by a thief the night before McLean’s arrest, and some other articles were stolen. Young MC4 Lean was again arraigned before Judge Setleck, plead guilty and was fined $7 and costs amounting in all to about $14, which he will have to work out in jail. He is a bright young fellow less than 18 years of age, and bids fair to fetch up in the state prison. The Norwalk photograph collector for the Sunday World has had another spell and the result was a pyrotechnical display of “legal lights” in last Sunday’s issue. The list was appropriately headed by Hon. Levi Warner, whose portrait is accom— panied with a biographical sketch setting forth Mr. Warner’s long and useful career as a lawyer and his services to the state and nation, and concluding with the remarkable statement that “he is married and lives with his wife.” John H. Light’s bright and beaming face looks forth With an expression half eager, half rapturous, as if he were watching the horse he had bet on as it approached the wire neck and neck with its rival. Among his many virtues are mentioned a fondness for good horsefiesh, a passion for water, and ability to “tell a better fish story than any man in Norwalk.” J. Belden Hurlbutt is por- trayed in a composite photograph of Ben Butler and Roger Q. Mills, and his biog- raphy tells us in somewhat paradoxical metre, that he achieved fame and popu- larity, when, as principal counsel for Norwalk in the recent desperate fight to secure the county court house for this town, he saved the town $100,000 by los— ing the fight. Alfred E. Austin, “one of Norwalk’s youngest and brightest legal lights,” doesn’t look it. The expression which the artist gives him, says as plainly as words, “Let us unite in prayer.” Judge Austin’s father, says his biographer, was a “Congregational church rector,” and the Judge himself used to be considerable of an actor, fond of private theatricals, and is now very fond of society and "usually takes a leading part in the many social events that are constantly occurring here.” The name of Joseph A. Gray appears under the picture of a bright looking lad who looks as if he might enjoy the distinction of being the champion of _ some Y. M. C. A. bicycle club, and we are told that after graduating from the Yale Law school he “secured a lucrative situation as assistant clerk in the State Senate,” that “he is looked upon asa genial, clever lawyer, fond of music and society, and is a member of the church.” Col. Fred Grant’s portrait is labeled “John J. Walsh,” whose pedigree sets forth that he has mostly criminal cases, and that “Where many of his brother lawyers would fail in an important matter he usually surmounts all obstacles and wins a victory.” We are also told that Mr. Walsh has won renown as a writer for the press and is a constant contributor to European publications. John S. Sey- mour’s portrait is not published but his family record is, and the pedigree reaches back to “the earliest colonial times.” Mr. Seymour, we are told in the sketch, was one of the originators of the Norwalk Library, the Y. M. C. A., the Norwalk Club, and the sewers; that he is a free trader, a Cleveland democrat, and the owner of the finest yacht in the harbor. .~.».A..-.. . . .._ ...... a..m“-_..u-._. “.34
