Weed on Wall street. «I Lying White Man is the name of one of the hostile Indian chiefs. He is probably a Sioux circulation editor. Ex-Governor Foraker reaches over the heads of the Sherman and McKin- ley booms and says Blaine is the man. It cost a benevolent Boston lady just $20,000 to demonstrate that ex-convicts cannot be successfully trained for the ministry. James E. Larmer received a letter from friends in Norway, saying that the weather was very warm and very little snow to be seen.

Mr. Gould’s commission would undoubted— ly be the largest end of the divide. O. L. Bassett, of Norwalk, is match- ed against Frank Peltingill, to shoot next week for $250 a side, fifty live pigeons, at a place not yet designated. It is evident that the legislature do- ings will be of unparalleled interest this year. The DAILY GAZETTE will publish the earliest, fullest and fairest , accounts. W. P. Whitney and Will Thomas have left for Cincinatti, Ohio, from which place they go to New Orleans, La, as drummers for a superior fire extinguisher. Philadelphia burglars are without a single spark of professional pride. They robbed a coal oflice and a plumb- er’s safe at one fell swoop. We shall hide our shoes after this. Th o; family of thelate Ex-Gov. \Vash' burne is about to erect at Greenfield, Mass, a plain granite monument twenty—eight feet high, to cost $7,000.. The only inscription will be “William B. Washburne.” M . and Mrs. George Ward Selleck expect to start about the first week in March, for Florida, for a two week’s yisit. Henry J. Grumman and party will accompany them. On the way they will stop at “lashington, Balti- more and other prominent Southern cities. . It is reported that Jerry Donovan will immediately begin the werk of constructing a commodious addition to the rear of his block, corner Wall and Main streets, occupied by the Boston - Store, to accommodate the large and increasing business of that enterprising concern. - The friends of Mr. James E. Ells, now in Florida, have been made the recipients through the kindness of George N. ,Ells, of some of the finest oranges ever seen in' Norwalk. A cit- . ron also from Mr. Ells’ plantation, on exhibition in the window of Finney & Benedict, attracts much attention. And now those relatives of the late Mrs. Elizabeth Perkins Fogg who fail- ed of mention in the will, leaving 32,- 000,000 to charities and individuals, contemplate action in the courts. It does not appear that illegality or un- due influence is alleged. The discon- tented heirs simply assert that Mrs. Fogg was “real mean.” On Monday night the body of a man paralyzed through the effects of bor- ough fire water, was found lying in the road near the residence .of Ralph Kel- logg, in Broad River. Kindly neigh- bors fearing he would freeze to death, put him on a wheelbarrow in a truly Pickwickian style, and wheeled him to a building near the five corners. where he was left to sober up. He had disap- peared in the morning. The defective flue is a source of great peril always. Building regulations may be properly framed, but who shall regulate the observance of the regula- tions? The closest scrutiny is absolute- ly necessary and every house erected should be carefully inSpected pro- vided that the wood work is not too close to the chimney and that no pieces of wood are thoughtlessly left by the workmen in positions where they may become charred and set fire . The Hon. David M. Reed of Bridge- port, not only makes a fair and most agreeable presiding ofiicer, but his facial profile, bears a marked and re- marked resemblence to the Father of his Country, whose life sized portrait hangs directly in front of his chair,.and to which, by force of official circum- stances over which he, has no control, our own Senator Seymour has to turn his back upon,when occupying his Sen- atorial seat. __ - Rider Haggard is described by New York interviewers as a tall man, prob- ably over six feet high, somewhat loose- 1y put together, with a slight stoop of the shoulders. He has dark hair, but the delicate mustache which adorns his lip, is quite light in color. A long. pointed nose gives his face a ‘thinnish appearance,but a careful look at him shows that he has a full forehead and that his eyes are well apart. He has an .agreeable manner and a pleasant sm 8. . ’ year. Rev. Mr. Bisse'll, who has been so se- : riously ill, all will rejoice to know, is i rapidly improving. I The bridge over the Saugatuck river I above Bradley’s ax factory in Weston, was carried away by the flood Sunday night. The foot bridge over the same stream, near the factory was also swept away. Miss Annie E. Hall was at Bridge- port Sunday and heard the choir boys under the direction of Mr. James Ba- ker, sing at Trinity church, and is en- thusiastic in her praises of the fine ren- dering of the service. The severest case of “shingles”,in Norwalk in recent years, is that of Grace church, whose graceful archi- tectural outlines now begin to. show very attractively. It is to take 90,000 shingles to Cover its vast expanse of roof. H. B. Hawkins of Yaphank, L. I. and his bride, formerly Miss Katie A. Goodsell, of Cross Highway, Vv'estport, have returned from their wedding tour and are visiting with Mrs. Hawkins’ cousin, Miss Annie Pardee. on Chest- nut street. Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster, the edi- tor of Harper‘s Bazar. is a tall, well- ‘ formed woman with pink cheeks and snow-white hair. She is a hard worker. but there is no trace in her pleasant countenance of the worry that some- times comes from literary work. Mrs. W'ard C. Pardee, wife of Dr. Pardee of Brooklyn, and only daughter of Matthew N. Starr, of Norwalk, died at her home in Brooklyn on Sunday after a long and painful illness. Her loss will be mourned by all who knew her. and especially by her family where she was most tenderly loved. The funeral took place W'ednesday. A brindle cow belonging to H. H. Baird, of Bethel, immortalized herself Tuesday by walking up a flight of stairs and to the top of a- hay mow, on the second floor of Mr. Baird‘s barn. It required the services of four strong men to get the animal down, which we... done by tying a rope around her horns and backing her down the stairs. The reports of Messrs. Alfred E. Austin,'John A. Slater and Charles Olmstead, as School visitors, show that these gentlemen have performed their duties carefully and intelligently, and that they are thoroughly alive to the condition and necessities of the situa- tion, and in their remarks there may be found many valuable suggestions. The current rumor concerning the Ambler failure, is thatit was caused by the recent stringency in the money market and lack of sufficient capital to conduct the business. If a satisfactory settlement can be made with the credi- tors, it is stated, three well-known citi- zens will place the needed capital in Mr. A. ’3 hands, so that hisbusiness may be resumed. John Williams, of Bethel, on Sunday read the item in the GAZETTE one day last week, stating the fact that “all the babies born in Bethel thus far this year, are girls,” and said to a compan- ion: “Humph! we’ll see about that.” The next day he proudly informed the same companion, that he was the father of abrand new bouncing boy baby, that came to, his house late on Sunday night. The venerable John Dingee of Roton Hill, now in his 89th year, made his regular annual visit to our office on Saturday and renewed his subscription to the GAZETTE for the 68th consecutive Unless some one rises to break this record, we shall rate “Uncle J ohn” as our oldest subscriber. We believe that Mrs. Jonathan Camp is the second oldest, she having taken the GAZETTE for 65 consecutive years. There is said to be a wealthy single lady residing in Brooklyn, who pro- poses to build another bridge across the East River to New York, which is to be for the express use of the fair sex. She says that on the present structure lone women receive overbearing and insolent treatment from the men em- ployed thereon, and that she means to have a bridge where ladies can be decently treated as they pass and repass to and fro. Waterbury ladies must have clear consciences if they are all like those two who stopped at the Gilsey House on the night that the Fifth avenue the- ater was burned. The ladies retired just before the fire broke out, and after a while, hearing the throbbing of the engines, one said that the hotel was get- ting very noisy and that they would have to go elsewhere in future. They then slept the sleep of the just and did not know anything further about the fire until the next _ morning when they remarked the peculiar condition of the streets as they went to breakfast. Latest advices from the consultation of the foreign syndicate with local capi- talists indicate that the foreigners have secured control of the East avenue and East Norwalk railway, and will begin immediately the work of construction. The road is to be an electric line with all the latest appliances for speed, safe- ty and comfort, and is expected to be in full operation early in the summer.

Miller, of No. 3 French court, this city, has just received from Washington a. draft for $121.65, which recalls one of the most gallant naval battles that was ever fought, f and which played an important part in the , victory won-at New Orleans by Gen.

Nearly eighty years ago, during the war of 1812, Mrs. Miller’s father, John Metz. was a “powder monkey" on board the privateer brig General Armstrong, Capt. TnE HAMILTON WILL coNrEsr. A Decision Against Ev; land a Dlvorcc Suit on Her Hands. NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—The Robert Ray Hamilton willcontesthas assumed a de- cidedly tangled and quite sensational phase. Surrogate Ransom has ruled that Eva Hamilton’s marriage to J oshua Mann has been proven by the circumstantial evi- dence which has been submitted, and that On top of this decision Joshua Mann has filled papers for a divorce from Eva on the ground of her relations with Robert Ray " Hamilton. Samuel C. Reed, engaged in the destruc- tion of England’s commerce. The vessel ‘ On the 26th ; of September the British seventy-four gun . ship Plantaganet, with the corvettes Car- nation and Rota, arrived. These vessels were part of the great fleet which had been ; assigned to convey Sir Edward Packen- : ham’s army on its expedition against New ' Orleans. Disregarding the neutrality of the port the British commander determined to cap- § ture the General Armstrong, and sent 12 boats, manned by 200 men, to attack her. Although Capt. Reed’s crew numbered only 90 men, so desperate was the re- sistance that the British were beaten oil with a loss of 3 officers and 60 men killed and 107 wounded, while the Americans lost only 9 men killed and wounded. , The next day the little brig was attacked ' by all these British ships, and Capt. Reed was compelled to set her afire and escape to the shore with his men, but not until he had so damaged his assailants as to de- tain them in port for several days. This detention delayed the attack on New Or- leans, and thus gave “Old Hickory" I precious time to complete his defenses and lay his plans for one of the most dis- astrous defeats ever suffered by the British arms. In recognition of the services of the pri- 1 vateersman in detaining a portion of the 5 British fleet and giving Gen. Jackson l more time Congress passed a bill reim- i bursing the crew of the General Armstrong l for their effects lost in the vessel. It is un~ I Serfthis law that Miss Miller received the , In t. W'hy a Farmer Turned Robber. SHERMAN, Tex., Jan. 17.—At Bells, twelve '. miles east of here, George Smith, a farmer, E entered a saloon and compelled seven men at the point of a revolver to hand over their money and valuables. As he was leaving the saloon Jim Sibel, the town marshal, fired, but missed him, and Smith returned the shot and the bullet entered Sibel’s head. He will die. Smith was at =erward captured, and brought here and | , laced in jail in spite of the efforts of the I not» to lynch him. He said that hard times and poor crops decided him to be- Minister Lincoln Was Mum. SOUTHAMPTON, Jan. 17.—United States Consul Jasper P. Bradley at 4 o’clock Fri- day morning boarded the steamer Saale, of the North German Lloyd line, to wel- come back to England the United States minister, Mr. Lincoln, who was on board. f Mr. Bradley was kindly received, but Mr. Lincoln refused to submit to an interview with any one of the number of newspaper ' reporters who had come from all parts of the country hoping to induce the minister to talk on the Behring sea matter. A Valuable Mall Pouch Stolen. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Jan. 17.—-'l‘he fact that a heavily filled mail pouch from Kan;- sas City, on Sunday, Jan. 4, was stolen from the platform at Nichols Junction has just leaked out. The pouch contained over 3,000 letters and 46 registered pack- ages. The empty pouch was found on the river bank near the station. It is supposed the robbers secured a considerable amount of money from the registered packages. There is no clew to the thieves. Two Savings Banks Fail. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 17. —A special to The Press from Greenville, Pa., says: The Stoneboro Savings bank and the Sandy Lake Savings bank, both of which were largely managed by the same parties, have failed. The liabilities of the Stoncboro in- stitution probably exceed the assets, but the Sandy Lake concern claims to be able to pay its debts in full. All the money in the eastern part of Mercer county is tied up by the failures. Will Oppose the English Syndicate. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 17.—The American Brewery association, of San Francisco, has been organized here. Adolphus Bush, of St. Louis. was elected president. Other prominent brewers and capitalists were elected directors. Between two and three million dollars will be expended in the plant. The brewery is started in opposi- tion to the English syndicate which recent- ly bought out all the breweries in San- Francisco. Natural Gas Supply Cut 01!. COLUMBUS, 0., Jan. 17.—-Columbus was without a single natural gas fire yester- day, and numerous cases of inconvenience were reported on account of the sudden cut oflf of the supply. The flow was stop— ped at 8:30 yesterday morning, and 6,000 fires went out. The company says that in all probability the gas will never be-turned on again, as the supply will not be suffi- cient for practical use. They Want Dempsey. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 17,—The California. Athletic club is making great eflorts to ur- range a match for a good purse between Fitzsimmons and Joe Choynski, now in Australia. Fitzsimmons is willing and Choynski has been cabled to. The Olympic club, of San Francisco, wired Dempsey offering him the position of boxing iu~ structor, recently resigned by Corbett, at a. big salary. Throw Herself Under a Train. IRONTON, Mo. Jan. 17.—The horribly mu-- . tilated remains of Mrs. Immer, wife of a. wealthy merchant in Pilot Knob. were found on the railroad track. The de ceased had been in bad health for some time, and .at times her mind was visibly affected. She stole out of the house, which is near the tracks, and threw her- self on the rails just as a. train was pass- Ing. . Made lure of His Death. CHICAGO, Jan. 17.—Harvey Storck, a. well known lawyer, committed suicide at the Palmer House. of morphine, and to further insure death punctured his left arm and injected a stream of the deadly drug with a. syringe. , He had been in ill health for some time, ‘ and this, it is supposed, caused him to commit the rash act.

She denied hav- ing introduced Mann as her husband to her relatives. She claimed she went under the name of Mrs. Brill, and that she and Mann had occupied separate rooms at her brother’s house. She positively denied ever having entered Intoacontract of man riage with Mann. She denied that she had ever told any one that she was the wife of Mann. She denied having rented a flat in this city with Mann as his Wife. She said Mann met with an accident which re- sulted in his mental derangement, and she had taken care of him out of consid- eration when she lived with Mrs. Evers. She acknowledged going to Lacyville and staying a day and night with Mann, but “Mr. Mann was not fit at the time,” she said, “to take care . He was helpless from drink.” After this accident, she said, Mann was not allowed to go anywhere except in her charge or that of his mother. She had therefore to have him in her room when they were traveling. She owned a piece of property in Passaic as Evangeline L. Mann. Previous to that she had only used this name in banking money. She used the name of Mrs. Mann at Hamilton’s re- quest. Lawyer Boot then cross-examined her, and to many apparent contradictions of facts she answered she did not remember. The case is still on. Against Archer’s Bondsmen. BALTInox-m, Jun. 17.——The jury in the case of the state against the bondsmen of ex-State Treasurer Stevenson Archer for ; $121,000, which has been on trial at Towson ‘ fox-two weeks, has returned a. verdict of $60,000 for the state. This compromise verdict was probably reached owing to the court‘s decision that unless a verdict was returned before 12 o’clock Friday the jury would be relocked up until Saturday. Upon the announcement of the verdict the state moved for a. new trial. Lucifer I n-wlomncd. TOPEKA, Kan, ... EI‘.—-Judge John F. Phillips. of the U1 = --'.
