Another Declination.
We could not help feeling that our ever
genial and usually unanimous friend Hill,
failed to show a proper appreciation of
the Record’s little Lieutenant—Governor
boomlet, (and which the GAZETTE so
eagerly took up and endorsed,) when he
socavalierly declined to accept the pro—
posed honor and so promptly proceeded
to shove our bouquet over into the hands
fEx—Speaker Perry. But if the Record
and UAZETTE were sat down upon by Hill,
what shall we say of Perry’s treatment of
Hill? The cx-Spcakcr seems to have
looked on Hill’s proposal to make him
Lieutenant—Governor a good deal as the
Spanish bull does on the gaudy red flag
unfurled in its face. For he not only
eontcmptuously spurns Hill’s generous
sclf-abncgation, and spitefully sits down
upon him, as it were, but literally thumps
his head on the floor. Bill will exercise a
little more care next time, when he offers
to transfer political honors tendered him——
self, over to someone else, and try and
find out whether the party knows and can
appreciateagood thing when it sees it,
before making the proffer. But then
Perry is not a man “of the people, by the
people, and for the people,” and his
rudeness to Hill is thus accounted for.
Meantime EDWIN Horr, of New Canaan,
furnishes as good timber for a place on
our State ticket as Fairfield county can
select.
The Children’s Home.
Following is a description of the new
county Children’s Home, to be erected in
Norwalk, given by one who has had
access to the plans, specifications, etc.:
The building, of pallette brick laid in
red morter, is to be trimmed with brown
stone and will have slate roof and galvan—
ized iron cornices. It will‘be 43x99 feet,
hwo stories high, with a light and airy
cellar and a roomy attic. The principal
entrance, in the center of the front side,
will have granite steps; over it will
be “Children’s Home.” The rear en—
trance, directly opposite, will have a
wooded verandah. Staircases are so ar- jacent mud flats seem to have been for ages
ranged that the 80 children the home is
intended to accommodate may pass up
and down stairs without coming to the
i'rontfof the building, where the matron
and assistants will have their rooms.
0n the first story are to be. the office, rc-
ception room, sewing room, play room,
dining room, kitchen, halls, front and
back stairs. On the second story,; four
large dormitories for the children, '20 of
wlnom are to be putin each room; 'three
rooms for matrons, separate bath rooms
for matrons and children. Two rooms
tor servants in the attic, besides a large
store room. The cellar will contain’the
laundry and the heating apparatus, the
first story being warmed by the direct and
the second story by the indirect system of
steam heating. The interior of the build-
ing, which will present a neat and really
comfortable appearance, will be finished
in whitewood.

Bridgeport Methods.
Says the Bridgeport Standard: The
rumors which have been in circulation about
the city for seine time past in regard ‘to the
manner in which the affairs of the old St.
Augustine cemetery are conducted by those
in charge have at last assumed definite
shape, and the authorities have taken hold
of the matter. For some time past there
has been trouble between certain residents
of that city, growing out of what-is claimed
to he a most Outrageous abuse of .the' laws
relating to the burial'of the dead, as well as
a shame and disgrace if the stories, so _told
are true. I _ .
As the story goes, and the nature of the
complaints made to the board of health, it
seems that'the manner in which interments
have been made in the cemetery is in viola-
tion of the statute laws relating to the burial
of deceased i 5:.- . ii t is clziiin ed that in
some instances two and even three bodies.
have been interred in an ordinary grave,
one coffin on top of the other,,until the last
one is but about two feet below the suaface
of the ground. 7 '
This method of burying the dead is said
to have been used more especially when the
body was that of a person whose relatives
were unable to pay for an expensive lot and
could not afford a first-class funeral.
The Rev. Father Cronin, pastor of St.
Augustine church, has the management of
the cemetery, and the board of health has
notified him that the law must be strictly
' complied with .
. The Bridgeport News states that Father
Cronin is not to blame at all for the ceme-
tery troubles above referred to. The priest
IS quoted as saying : “I do not believe that
there is a body interred in the St. Augustine
cemetery that has not been placed so as 'to
comply with the law.” He thinks he has
been rashly criticised. .

The State Tax.
The following from the State Treasury
Department was received yesterday by
the selectmen of the various towns. It
conveys salutary news to our taxpayers
and means the suspension of a State tax
amounting, in Norwalk to something like
$7,500. For this desirable condition of
affairs the people are indebted to the sa-
gacity of Treasurer E. Stevens Henry:
STATE OFiCONNECTICUT, ?
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
HARTFORD, Sept. 1, 1890.
To the Selectmen:
In accordance with a Joint resolution
passed by the General Assembly of 1889,
and approved June 22d, 1889, entitled a
“resolution imposing a state tax” and
providing as follows:
SECTION I. “That a state tax is hereby
imposed upon the several towns of this
state, equal to one mill on the dollar, on
the grand list of the several towns respect-
ively, made for October, 1888, and a state
tax of the same rate is hereby imposed on
the several towns on their grand lists as
they shall be made for October, 1889, as
such lists for 1888 and 1889 shall be
amended and corrected by the board of
equalization; said taxes shall be paid
according to law on or before the tenth
day of November in the years 1889 and
1890 respectively:
Pi-oct‘ded, however, That in can the
treasurer of the state shall find that the
payment of the whole or any portion of
said tax imposed on said grand lists as
they shall be made for October, 1889, as
aforesaid, will not be required for the
financial needs of the state during the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1891, he may
on or before the first day of October, 1890,
give notice to the selectmen of said several
towns, suspending payment of said tax,
or such portion thereOf as he shall find
will not be required as aforesaid, until
February 1, 1891, and until the general
assembly at its session to be held in Jan-
uary, 1891, shall take action in the
premises.”
Now, therefore, you are hereby notified
that the collection of the full amount of
said tax laid on Grand List of 1889, and
payable on or before the 10th of Novem—
ber, 1890, is suspended in compliance
with the provisions of the foregoing
resolution.
The annual Military Commutation Tax
is NOT included in the foregoing resolution,
therefore it is payable this year as usual.

The Oyster War.
The Bridgeport Standard gives an inter-
esting chapter of "oyster war history” from
a Stratford contributor, which will be en-
tertaining to our readers in this prolific
The bed of the Housatonic and the ad-
a. common hunting round for fish, oysters
and clams. Vast eposits of shells have
been found, over which immense trees were
growing when the first white men found
their way to Stratford. These deposits at-
test that long before the pale face discovered
this part of the continent the Indians along
with hunting the bison and elk had also
taken clams and oysters possibb’ to barter
with the “upland Indians” for flint arrow
heads and other articles of, value to the
Aborigines. No doubt then as now human
greed and selfishness led the dusky warriors
to perpetrate deeds of robbery and violence
upon each other, indeed the ancrent records
and traditions of Stratford seem to suggest as
much. Away ' back in the last century
among the Town Acts will _be found laws
enacted to regulate or‘ prohibit the takmg of
oysters in the Housatomc, and committees
were also appointed whose duty at was to
enforce these-laws. In those days Stratford
oysters were widely celebrated for their fia-
vor and were in great demand.
Sometimes as many as «fifty teams would
be waiting at the wharves for loads, and the
bivalves were taken in this way many hun-
dred miles, some going as for as Canada,
and the oystermen often made eight or ten
dollars a- day. l-So. lucrative -a business of
course attraéted men of all directions. The
animosity of' resident “workers was thereby
aroused and many stories-arc handed, down
of vindication assaults. and retaliatory acts.
There is litte that-is new in the present con-
troversy; it is simply an outburst of the
same old ~spirit. “by new actors. . Lorenzo
Smith, the man against whém the ill-will of
the harbor men is just now directed, is not a
native of .Stratford, but has ‘been working
here several seasons takingshellswhlch he
heaps on 'Knell’s Island as fast as taken _;
from which place they are conveyed at the
proper time and planted on oyster grounds.
He commences as early as possble .in the
spring and continues to work until cold
weather obliges him to stop, averaging 18,-
000 bushels a year, for which he receives Six
cents per bushel. .
Mr. Smith .hestated‘the facts above quoted
and said that he was catching the Shells near
the outer bar, in a locality. likely-at; any
time to be torn up by an easterly. storm and
.that there was a very small proportion. of
live “set”_among them. In reply to a ques-
tion he said had offered a reward of fifty
dollars for information that would lead to
Conviction and had in addition employed
two detectives for the same purpose. Facts
have been brought to light, he said, that
almost warrant making arrests, but he
should wait a day or two for further devel-
opments. Whatever may have been Mr.
Smith’s antecedents he has certainly been
very quiet and law abiding since his resi-
dence here, but he is very resolute and Will
undoubtedly push the matter to the utmost.
He purposes to continue shelling regardless

_ OBITUABY.
Mrs. Charles Everaler Curtis.
Again have the tenderest sympathies
and keenest susceptibilities of all loving
hearts in our community, been peculiarly
touched and pain, by the sudden demiSc
of Mrs. Charles Everslcy Curtis. The
death angel ’came so suddenly, so unex-
pectedly, that mourning friends and rela-
tives were left dazed and bewildered in
their unutterable grief. Mrs. C. was the
only surviving daughter of the late Lewis
J. Curtis, her mother being the gifted sister
of the late S. E. Olmstcad. She wasa
lady of superior qualities of head and
heart and game up her life. as so many
another young and saintly mother has
done, in the fruition of maternity, only to
die. ’I‘is the lot of bereaved friends to
mourn her irreparable loss. ’Tis her
higher joy to look down from realms
supernal on her motherless babe and the
brief sorrows of those she has left behind
till in God’s tender compassion all shall be
again joined with her in heaven.
Charles Dimon. .
Charles Dimon, agentleman for many
years well known in Norwalk, as well as
in N. Y. Banking circles. died Wednesday
at his home, 81 Remsen street, Brooklyn.
His death was due to hemorrhage of the
stomach, after a brief illness. His wife
and one daughter survive him. Mr.
Dimon was one of the oldest members‘of
the Produce Exchange. He was also a
member of the Consolidated Stock and
Petroleum Exchange. He was born at
Southport, sixty-four years ago, and went
to New York in 1843. He entered the
employ of Dunhan &. Dimon and eventu-
ally became a member of the firm. When
this partnership was dissolved the firm of
Wakeman, Gookin & Dimon of 67 South
street was formed and did alarge ship.

furnished a number of vessels for Govern-
ment service. In 1870 Mr. Dimon began
to turn his attention to banking. At one
time he was a director of the St. Nicholas.
bank and at the time of his death he was
vice-president of the Kings County bank.
His only surviving sister, Mrs. Frank J.
Mallory, who has been spending the
summer at the Norwalk Hotel, was sud:
denly summoned to. his bedside and
arrived a few hours before; he departed.
Mr. Dimon was a man of conspicuous
business abilities, of rare energy and the
“soul of honor” in all his relations with
his fellow men.

The twenty-eighth annual reunion of
the old Seventeenth regiment of Connec-
ticut Volunteers was held at Roton Point
on Thursday of last week, which was at-
tended by not far from one hundred surr
.vivors and their families. The usual or-
tier of business was gone through, Vice-
President Charles J. Smith of South Nor-
walk, presiding in the stead of President
Charles A. Hobbie of Stamford, who re-
cently died. The meeting was thoroughly
enjoyed by all present. Addresses were
made by the notables present and a boun-
teous collation was partaken of. The fes-
tivities were kept up until late in the af-
ternoon and over a thousand people from
Norwalk and vicinity were present to see
soldiers have their fun. An invitation has
been extended from New Canaan to have
the next reunion held in that town, but no
action has yet been taken on it by the as-
sociation. The officers of the association
for the ensuing year were elected as fol-
