parties will see the paper delivered by
special carriers at N orwalk and South

REMINISCENT. ,

Our condensation of local reminis-
cences from the year 1818 and
from Jan. lst, ’90, to Jan. 1st, ’91, com-
piled from the files of the GAZETTE,
will. well repay a reading. These epi-
tomes of Norwalk history have been
prepared with much labor and care and
will be found full of interest to all lov-
ors of the. old town.

.THAT BOUNTY.

rifle: proprietor of the GAZETTE hav-
ing been appealed to, to make a state-
ment of his personal connection with
the. question Of promised bounty made
by this town to such soldiers in the ser-
vice as would re-enlist and have them-
~s»-.ivc.s credited to the quota of Nor-
w-.-d75;, would state, that our best recol-
lection i»; that we were officially author-
i/_.--..i by the authorities of the town of
Nurwalk to make a. pledge to our boys
in blue at the front. that a bounty of
three hundred dollars would be paid by
this town, to all who would re-enlist
and. have themselves credited to Nor-
wziéf-[s quota, under a call for more
til.".r;'i;i:~1. We were urged to spread this
assurance far and wide, we remember,
because at the time being in the ser-
ving of the New York Tribune and al-

Treasurer Henry’s annual report is
filled with interesting statistics as to
ill-2*. : csources of the state. In connect-
ion with the abolition of the state tax
what. the treasurer says of the inequali-
ties of assessed valuation of real estate
in. different towns is of great interest
just. at this time. when the action of
b‘nilm assessors makes such an excellent
showing as to attract new business to a
town. He saysi: “Investigations
made. by the Board of Equalization in-
dicate that while in some towns real
estate assessment is less than twenty-
five per cent. of real values, in others
it is seventy-five per cent, a difference
in extreme cases of nearly four to one ;
meanwhile personal property has been
assessed at, or very near its full value.
The natural result of such unfair dis-
crimination has . been a continual re-
duction in the amount of certain classes
of personal property returned for tan--
tion, notably in investments-, in the
stock of Connecticut corpdrations,
practically rendering” individual owner-
ship in national and state banks and
insurance companies inexpedient and
unprofitable. These greatinequalities,
have doubtless largely arisen from a
desire to evade state taxation; relieved
.of this burden 'it may ,be reasonably
hoped that the towns and cities of the
state will gradually adopt a more equal “
and impartial system of aesessment‘”

 

James Williams, probably the oldest
residentUi-n the state, died in Meriden,
Saturday night, at the age of 107 years
and 7 months.

William T. Ryerson, secretary :and
treaSurer of the NewYork Cab com-
pany, died suddenly Saturday morning
of apoplexy. . Mr. Byerson was well
known in Norwalk.

Mrs. Fannie Kemble, who is 80 years
of age, has just finished a novel, the
scene of which is laid in the Berkshire
Hills, where she lived forty years ago.

oldest residents of Fairfield county, is
dead, aged 94 years and 1 month. He
died in the same. house in which he was

Col. Daskam says the town will be
obliged to raise the sum of $20,000 be-
fore January 5th, in order to pay the
soldiers bounties, as authorized by the
late town meeting.

The New York and New England B.

$48,000 paid the Northern road.

The Conn. \Veekly Press association
are trying to bring back the good old
days when the laws were wont to be

all right as far as it goes, but how we

A wonderful feature of the late
storm occurred at Eastport, Me,

where the mercury Friday morning
registered 2 degrees below zero and
during the height of the storm rapidly
up 42 degrees. This is one of the most
remarkable instances on record where
such a rapid increase has occurred dur-
ing a severe storm.

‘Tis said of the recent death of a
“West Norwalk woman that it was
hastened by a lack of nourishment, and
that not until almost starved did the
woman let her neighbors know of her
situation, and then alas, it was too late.
She belonged to a well-known and re-
Spected family Of that place, but
against the wishes of friends married a
man who since proved to be a thriftless
fellow. _______

Charles Lynch, of Bethel, was ar-
rested in Danbury Saturday night for
insulting women on lonely streets at
night. He had eluded the officers for
some weeks and generally disguised
himself with a false beard which he tried
to throw away when arrested, but was
prevented by the Officer. He was re-
leased on a bond of $1,500, which was
forfeited Monday morning.

Coroner Doten, of Bridgeport, was
summoned to Norwalk by Examiner
Burke to investigate the cause of the
death of Oliver Davis, who died at the
Norwalk alms house. on Friday last,
at the age of 9.4 years. on representa-
tions that his death was attended with
suspicious circumstances. The Coroner
came. saw. and went back, first relieving
his mind of the Opinion that it was all
nonsense to summon him. as there was
nothing about the case that demanded
his official attention or required an in-
vestigation. Davis had been sick for
some time and special nurses had been
engaged to attend him forweeks before
his death. _____.,._

The meanest man has been heard
from again. He is probably a Buffalo
citizen, as the papers of that city allude
to him but do not locate him. Ashamed
to, no doubt. Two years ago Christ-
mas he purchased for his two-year-old
daughter a little chair, painted red,
Last year he had the chair painted blue
and gave it to her as a brand new
Christmas gift. This year he had the
gilded over and again worked it off on
the little innocent. There is nothing
pathetic in this because the father is
not a poor man, but simply, as one
Buffalo paper says, “a horrid 01d
screw.

Col. Daskam, our first selectman,was
presented with a bill of $25 against the
town by 'Dr. Burke, for professional
services in a pauper case. 001. Das-
kam declined to authorize payment of
the bill, because Dr. Burke had acted
in the matter entirely on his own re-
sponsibility and without authority from
any town Official, and for the further
reason that the town employs regularly
a physician for such cases, who is duly
authorized and paid to look after
the town’s poor. Dr. Burke’s bill is
now in the hands of Lawyer Gray, for
collection, and it is probable that a suit
will be brought against the town for its
payment.

Mayor Keeler’s grand opening re-
ception Thursday, was very largely at-
tended. In fact, if all who called to
pay their respects to our newly install-
ed Chief Ruler, had voted for liim, he
would have been elected “by a large
majority.” Refreshments were served
'and ‘ ‘all went mery as a marriage feast. ”
Among the guests from abroad, were
an office editor of the Hartford Post,
and a staff correspondent of the N. Y.
.World. In the eloquent pathos and

On Wednesday evening, (New Year’s
eve,) Perry Meeker, of Weston, was
presented by one of our local dealers,
with a quart bottle of champagne.
While on his way home some boys stole
the bottle out of his sleigh. When
Perry discovered his loss he immediate-
ly turned around and drove back to
Norwalk, and while in pursuit of the
thief his overcoat was stolen.

he held apreaching service at Silver

at St. Paul’s in the evening.

 

Probably the oldest resident- in town
is our respected friend Mr. Evart Quin-
tard, who will be 93 years old on the
24th of this month. Mr. Quintard has
always enjoyed the best of health, and
though at present he is somewhat in-
firm with the weight Of years, his
mind is as bright and clear as ever and
he welcomes his friends as heartily as
he did in the days gone by. He is two
years older than the GAZETTE and with
it, may he live to round the century in
health, strength and prosperity. '

Little Edith Muckridge. the four
years old daughter Of Edward Muck-
ridge of Merwin street, was severely
burned about the ‘hands, arms, and

tion, who rushed to its rescue and
saved the child from a horrible death.

The question Of\purity in food is a
matter of the greatest importance, and
deserves most careful and constant
consideration ; yet so ingenious are the
methods nowadays adopted to adulter-
ate, and the” processes employed to
cheapen manufacture, that 11:- 1s often
very difficult to determine the merits
of any particular article of food. With
W. Baker & Co’s Breakfast Cocoa,
however, no such difficulty arises, for
it is produced from the finest cocoa
seeds only, exclusively by mechanical
processes, and as no chemlcals. what-
ever are used in its preparation all
possibility of impurity is avoided. The
result is that W. Baker & Co’s Break-
fast Cocoa is not excelled in solubility,
and is not approached in purity by any
similar product in the market, and it
still remains, as for over one hundred
years past, the standard of purity and
excellence, and the most healthful and
nutritive cocoa in the world. ‘

O’BRIEN FOR . LEADER.

An‘Allogod Account of the Bur-Inca Don
«' at 8011103110. ’ ~

LONDON. Jan. 2.—It is stated on the au-

thority of a. close friend of John Redmond

: that the following is a correct version of

The list of candidates to the office ,iof‘

latest prominent candidate reported, ,is e

1113 are entirely ,
One soc

what took place in the conference between
Messrs. Parnell and O’Brien at Boulogne.
Its accuracy depends upon whether -Mr.
Redmond or some other person interested
in the discussions there has “leaked,” or
whether the alleged revelation is put forth
as a feeler, to test the sentiment of the
public. ‘ The statement is that Mr. Parnell
assured Mr.O’Brien that if the latter would
take the leadership in a spirit friendly to
Mr. Parnell, the government would be
“squared” so that Mr. O’Brien would not
be forced to serve his term of imprison-
ment, but would be free to return to Eng-
land or Ireland, and Mr. Parnell would
retire from the nominal leadership until
the general elections, when, with Mr.
O’Brien’s aid, he would sweep the country,
and ride into power again in a position of
absolute independence and situated so as
to hold the balance of power in parliament
with the Irish party, and force from either
the Torries or Liberals a full home rule
programme.

The fact that Mr. Parnell . feels able to
promise immunity to Mr. O’Brien from

the theory that whenever he finds himself
in a position of authority with reference
to his own party again he will make an
alliance with the Conservatives and wreak
his vengeance upon the Liberals for at-

, tempting to ruin his political prospects.
Well informed Irish members declare,
however. that should Mr. O’Brien consent
to this sham retirement of Mr. Parnell,
which they do not believe will be the case,
the rest of the programme outlined above
will not be Carried through without a bit-
ter struggle. the famous scenes of the con-
troversy in "room 15,” preceding the Split,
being re-enacted, with probably as deplor.
able results; in fact, that the party can
never be reunited on- any such basis, and
thatto attempt it would simply be to de-
stroy the possibility of t he Irish members
holding the balance of power in parlia-
ment. Mr. Healy and a number of others
could never be reconciled to the plan, and
they would be powerful enough to defeat
it utterly.

° Says Parnell \Vlll Rem-e.

PARIS, Jan. 2.—Mr. O’Brien has cabled
Mr. Dillon that Mr. Parnell will retire if
Mr. O’Brien will take the leadership. The
conference adjourned to await the reply.

 

 

Clinton Prison Burned.

PLATTSBURG, N. Y., J an. 2.—A fire
broke out in the kitchen department of
Clinton prison about midnight, and the
new portion of: the prison—the kitchen, the
hospital, the storerooms, the stove shop
and the machine shop—ls in ruins. The new
portion of the prison contained 370 prison-
ers and they made a regular stampede to
escape, but the panic was soon checked
and the prisoners were transferred to the
old prison in good order. The loss is esti-
mated at $200,000. All the provisions were
burned and word had to be sent to Platts-
burg for food. It is believed some of the
prisoners will have to be transferred to
other institutions until the building is
rebuilt. The fire started in the lump room.

The Firemen Get an Advance.

BUFFALO, Jan. 2.—General Superintend-
ent Bell has granted the firemen of the
\Vestern New York and Pennsylvania road
an advance of a little over 10 per cent. in
wages. He equalizes the rights of the fire-
men, makes provision for impartial trials
on all charges, guarantees full pay for the
time they remain suspended or discharged
when an investigation shows that the men
are blameless. The men are jubilant, and
say the attitude of Mr. Bell toward them

' cannot fail to have a most beneficial efiect
on the employee.

A New York Blaze. '

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-—The seven story
brick building at Nos. 241 and 2-13 Center
street, owned by A. Trcnkman, was gutted
by fire from the third floor to the roof last
night. The loss will reach about $150,000,
as follows: Building, $30,000; E. Shelter,
machine manufacturer, $40,000; the Cleve-
land Motor Company, $40,000; the Union
Pearl works, $40,000, and other small
losses.

 

Bullet Versus Snowball.

NEW YORK, J an. 2.—\Vhile a number of
boys were pelting each other with snow-
balls on Twenty-sixth street, near Eleventh
avenue, last night, one of the missiles
struck Leonard \Vilson, a watchman who
Was on his way to work. He became en-
r’aged and fired his revolver at the boys,
the bullet striking John Mahony, aged 16,
in the right shoulder, inflicting a. serious
wound. Wilson was arrested.

 

'Struck by a Train.

PLEASANTVILLE, N. J., Jan. 2.——Samuel
Baker, :1. well known farmer, 52 years of
age, residing at Absecom, Atlantic county,
was struck by the Brigantine beach ex—
press of the Philadelphia and Atlantic City
railroad and instantly killed. His body
was horribly mangled. The horse was
killed and the wagon demolished.

Mangled Beyond Recognition.

ing shaft, around which he was carried
until mangled beyond recognition.

' Agricultural Notes.

'Mr. Parrson, the New Jersey grape.
culturistgsays that "success in treating
grapes with copper sulphate for, black
rot and mildew has been as complete
this year in that region as could be
hoped. All those who have sprayed
their vines with the Bordeaux mixture
early and often have almost» perfect
crops of Concord grapes.

It is claimed that the blufi lands of
northern and central Louisiana are pc-
' culiarly adapted to the grewth of the
finer qualities of tobacco."

The United States minister resident,
writing from Copenhagen to the secre-
tary of agriculture, states that Danish
pork is preferred in other countries over
that raised in the United States, because
Danish swine are slaughtered earlier
than ours. hogs usually being fattened
and killed at a year old. In most Euro-
pean countries a hog weighing 200
pounds is preferred to those of greater
weight. There is also a. general belief
that American pork is too fat, and that
it would be more desirable for table use
if it were otherwise.

More silos have been built during the
present year in New York state than
ever before.

Prairie Farmer remarks very truly that
it is essential that a certain amount
of some kind of sharp, gritty material
be supplied poultry in winter, as it is
impossible for the hens to prepare their
food in the crops without the aid of grit,
and it is equally impossible for them to
procure grit in winter unaided.

I looked over the books of a big florist
last night—a man who does perhaps one-
fifth of the business of the city. During
one month of last year he sold 10,000 roses,
100,000 carnation pinks, 75,000 violets, 3,500
strings of smilax and 8,000 sprays of lilies
of the valley. This man did a large fu-
neral business, and I got the prices of some
of his decorations for this purpose. .He
makes a. broken wheel of roses, camelias
and lilies of the valley for $20, and it was
be who made for the queen of England a.

funeral. This cost Victoria $35, and the
English minister paid the bill. He makes
a heart for $20, a broken column of flowers
for $10 and u “gates njar”'~for $20. Of
course the florists of \Vashington are
among the money making men of the cap-
ital, and when you consider the above
prices it is no wonder.—“’ushington Let—

I know a city home where there is a
carefully boarded store of pine cones, gath~
cred during the summer’s outing in the
fragrant woods, from which the library
grutc‘is filled on high days and holidays,
and the bright, crackling, spicy flame has
inspired and developed many a. beautiful

helpful written words. A fire of pine

We once saw a suit of Boy’s
clothes in the window Of a dry
goods house, labeled “all wool.”
The suit was made Of corduroy,
which, as is well known, 'is
every thread cotton. That is
a sample of how catch phrases
are used to deceive. We place
a label on every garment in
our stock stating truthfully its
qUality, and then give a print-
ed guarantee, thch entitles
you to your money back if the
goods are not as stated, or if
you can buy them cheaper
elsewhere. ' , '
We can think of 'no strong-
er bid to make for business,
When that is coupled to a stock
second to none in this country

for extent and variety..
