._ t seems that the deep mystery con-
coming the now famous letter ad-
dressed in confidence through the news-
papers, by Kentucky’s “Star-eyed
(“roddess of Reform,” to Gov. Hill, of
New York,, and which the said Grov-
ernor asserts he never has received
and thus has lost all the valuable
" ' pointers’ ’ W atterson’s genius, inspired
and stimulated no doubt by Kentucky’s
chief favorite blue-grass product,
was designed to , convey, is at
last revealed. It transpires that Elmi-
ra is not alone in the honor of giving
to Albany and the world, a David B.
Hill. To Norwalk belongs an equal
glory. Elmira’s favorite son Hill was
christened David‘ Benncz‘l; Norwalk’s
equally resourceful son was named
David Bar/ow Hill, after his famous
and patriotic ancestor of the Revolu-
tion. Theyboth write their new fa-
mous patronymic thusly: DAVID B.
.l'llLL. Norwalk’s David B. has for a
series of years been a lumber mer-
chant at Albany, and among “the
boys” has always been written to and
yclept “Governor” Hill, while the E111-
pire State‘s Chief Executive is wont to
receive his epistles both with and with-
out the Gubernatorial prefix. This
similarity of address results in no end
of confusion and bother among the
Albany letter carriers. It- does far
more—it lets the cat out of the bag in
this hitherto impenetrable mystery.
It is David Barlow who has David
Bennett's letter, and the DAILY GA—
ZETTE will wager a peek of Norwalk’s
best bivalves, that if any one will
search the pockets of “Gov.” David
Barlow, he will find the identical letter
so carefully addressed by VVatterson,
through the press, to Gov. David Ben—
nett Hill And so fhe 111vsterv ends.

Five persons were roasted to death
in the fire in the railroad wreck in the
Fourth avenue tunnel last Friday.
The fire came from the stove in the rear
ear of a New York, New Haven and
Hartford train.
The, New York, New Haven and Hart-
ford Railroad pays ten per cent. divi-
dends. and its latest issue of stock was
quoted at 270 on Saturday morning.
Yet it- has fought wit... all its might pub-
lic opinion and the opinion of railroad
commissions. and is still trying to get
itself excepted from the law of the State
prohibiting the use of stoves in passen-
ger cars. Other railroad corporation-
have experimented with or adopted safe
systems of train heating. This partic-
ular road has. or had not in 1890, a sin-
gle passenger car heated by any other
contrivance than the deadly stove.
The Railroad Commissioners of Mass-
achusetts in their report for 1890 took
notice of the New Haven road’s culpa-
ble remissness in failing to provide a
safe train-heating system. Since the
tunnel accident one remark of the Mass-
achusetts Commissioners must sound
like an accusation of murder to the
managers of that corporation. ’ “'In the
present development of train-heating
system's," says the Commission, “there
would-be no excuse for the manage-
ment of a railroad on’ which there
should be any loss of life by fire start-
ed by individualheaters. The indigna-
tion of the public in case such an acci-
dent. should happen would, be very
great.”
The. accident has happened. The
public indignation is great. The Amer~
iean public is unnecessarily patient,
but it draws the hue at manslaughter.

does to advertise.

A shocking accident- oecurred at the
.Depot at South Norwalk a few min—
utes after 8 o’clock Thursday night.
The victim was Joseph P. 'Reifi', of
Bridgeport, well known to many Nor—
walk people, where he was a frequent
visitor to friends residing here. He
arrived, accompanied by a lady friend,
011 the 8.11 express train from Bridge-
port, intending to attend the Adams-
Radie wedding r eception the same ev en-
ing.
It was snowing fast at that time and
it was impossible to see but a few feet.
Mr. Reifi‘ hastened over across the
north end of the depot platform to-
ward a horse ear, and he was obliged
to cross the Danbury &' Norwalk raiL
read tracks. He had proceeded but
a few feet when he observed that the
horse car had started. He quickened
his pace to catch it if possible. The
noise of the engine of the Consolidated
train drowned the sound, and the
blinding snow almost made it impos-
sible to discern the approach of the
down passenger train from Danburv,
which connects with the New York
express. Mr. Reiff had barely stepped
011 the track when he slipped and fell
forward. Before he could regain his
footing the Danlmry train was 11pm
him. The pilot struck his head and
threw him from the track.
Only a few persons witnessed the
terrible accident. and they hurried
to the side of the unfortunate man.
His skull was crushed and he was
breathing his last. The crowd rapid-
ly increased to hundreds.
A messenger was despatched for
Medical Examiner Burke, who arrived
a few minutes later. He made an ex-
amination and found a large cut' in
the head. from which the brains were
oozing. He ordered the body re-
moved to Gregory’s undertaking
rooms to await the order of friends,
who were immediately notified.
Joseph Delaney was the first man
to identify Mr. Reifi‘. He. was at the
depot awaiting train bound for
Bridgeport.
it
The new s of Mr. Reifi s death r cached
Bridgeport shortly afte1 nine o ’clock,
and was a shock to his many friends.
He had planned a trip to Norwalk last
evening, and mentioned the matter to
sev ere '11 of his friends yesterday. He
left for that city on the 7:30 train and
intended to return on the express which
reaches Bridgeport about 11 :40 o’clock.
Mr. Reifl' had been a resident of this
city about ten years. and came from
New York. He acted as a bartender,
first for Geo. Wagner. After leaving
his place he, was employed at a number
of similar places in the city. About a
year since he purchased the Opera
House cafe. Under his management
the business increased and it has be-
come quite popular. He lived at No.
29 Cannon street. He was quite wide-
ly known and by his aimable manners
won many friends. . He was a member
of Arcanum Lodge, 'No. 41, I. O. O. F.,
and the Concordia Society.
Mr. Reifl' leaves a family in New
York, his wife. who survives him,
being a sister of Mrs. Peter Doelger.
He also leaves three children, a son and
two daughters. His son has been ill
for some time and'ldrs. Reifi‘ is in deli—
cate health. Before coming to Bridge-
port, the deceased =was in business in
New York. The family were notified
of his death late last- night. The body
will remain at South Norwalk until the
wishes of the family are known. It
will then, in all probability, be taken
to that city for interment—[Bridge

Y4 MAN 1"013'1) INSENSIBLE.
A gentleman who registered as La-
nier, from Bridgeport, at the Mahacke-
m0. and was assigned to room 30, was
heard meaning, by the housekeeper
early Friday morning. An entrance was
made to his room and he was found
unconscious from an overdose of some
powerful narcotic. After some delay
Dr. Clarke was summoned, who ad-
ministered restoratives, and it is
thought he will recover. It is not
known whether it was taken to induce
sleep, relieve pain. or with suicidal in?
tent, though the landlord’s foolish ret-
icence to the press clearly indicates
that he, at least, thought it to be the
latter.
ROBEERY AT CAN. 'on‘s.
The vacant house of Mrs. Charlotte
Bangert, about a mile north of Can-
nons Station, was robbed on Tuesday
night of a rosewood table, a hat rack,
11 set of carpenter’s tools, a trunk full
of upholsteries, furniture coverings, of
silk, plush and reps; two new hair mat-
tresses, a musket, a large U. S. flag,
rosewood writing desk, 3. large chest of
books, new hammock, coupe harness

rented a house near the station and
was at the latter place when the bold
robbery took place.

NORWALK -
SHE 0108 PARIS 111111.
The board of general appraisers at;
New York have for Some time had un—
der consideration the question of the
tariff affecting hatters’ furs.
Beepntly
an invoice of plucked coney skins was3
imported into the port of Best-on. where
the collector imposed a duty of 20 per
cent. ad. I'alorcm on them, claiming that
thev w ere partially dressed by reason of
having the hair which extends outside
1
I
of the fur plucked out before impor'ta- ,
eollec-
of the
tion. This ruling of the Boston
tor is contrary to the decisions
treasury department, extending over a =
period of twenty-five years, opinions to
that effect having been given by Secre-
taries McCulloch, Boutwell and others.
The question was tried before the board
of general appraisers on Tuesday in New
York. Some fifty or more manufac-
urcrs of hattcrs‘ furs from Connecticut
and New York including J osephJ . Asch
of South Norwalk and A. T. ‘White of
Danbury, were present and offered to
show that what is known as plucking
the hair from these fur skins is no part
of dressing them. The clause of the
tariff act which affects this question
reads as follows: “Fur skins of all kinds
not dressed in any manner free.
It was shown that when the fur was
to be 11: ed for hatters’ fursthe fur skins
are never dressed at all, and when they
were to be used for any other purpose
they were plucked after they were
dressed and that plucking might pre-
cede or follow the dressing, as it was
no part of that process. It seems that
the importers are interested to have the
duty imposed. The appellants (Messrs.
Wotten Brothers of New York, import-
ers,) admitted at the hearing that they
had imported invoices of these goods
into the port of Boston and had pro-
tested against an imposition of the
duty, but that they desired the protest-
to be over-ruled and the duty sustained.
The manufacturers of hatters‘ furs
claimed that the rulings of the treasurv
department should be su. '.tained and
that Contrrcss never intended to place
a duty of 20 per cent. ad -I"alon.m 011
hatters’ furs and then in the same not
take away that protection by imposing
a duty of 20 per cent. 011 the article out
of which they were manufactured.
The board took the papers and will
announce their decision hereafter.

EMPRE SS 1" RE DERIC l\
13nd Blood Aroused.
BERLIN, Feb. Eli—The treatment of the
Empress Frederick 111 Paris is arousing a
very bitter feeling in the court. circles, and
the animosity displayed toward France is
deeper than it has been in many years.
This is ex.- Ietly what was predicted in
France as likely to happen when the kaiser
permitted an intimation to go out of his
own intention to visit- Paris. It was then
stated by well informed French authority
that a German imperial visit would be
more likely to hasten than to prevent a
European war. It is said that the kaiser
has resolved to demand satisfaction from
the French government for the annoyances
and hostility to which his mother has been
subjected in Paris. The latest advices
from Paris shows that feeling runs very
high in that city, and it might be danger~
011s for that gov ernment to olfer even the
semblance of an apology to the kaiser, and
it is not at all likely that any explanation
whatever will be given.
The North German Gazette regrets the
fit of ill humor of the French press, and
says: “It is immaterial whether French
artists, under the pressure of public opin-
ion, are forced to abandon the idea. of ex-
hibiting works in Berlin 01' not. But it is
another thing if at public meetings the
grossest insults and vile threats are uttered
against the ex-empress, and the public ao~
cepts them without a protest.”
Germany’s Final Warning.
The Tagblatt declares that Count von
Munster, the German ambassador at Paris,
in a long c‘onfc'i'efi‘ce' With M. Ribot, the
French minister of foreign affairs, gave
notice that this w ould be Germany’ 5 final
cttcmpt ‘3 0011;212:1129 France.
_ Commenting on the refusal of the French
artists to exhibit their works at the Berlin
exhibition, The Post says: “Germany will
maintain a reserved attitude. but the 1nci-.
dent ‘will ev id'cntlv bring the necessity for
a struggle nearer. The French Chauvin~
ists must follow up their victory in order
not to lose its fruit, as it is impossible to
compel the nation to keep the sword drawn
always. The weapon would have been
lowered long ago but for Russia.”
The National Zeitung says: “It 1s inex-
cdient to discuss the appropriateness of
e movement against Empress Frederick
in Paris. The incident proves how power-
less is the minority of enlightened French-
men desiring reconciliation—not powerless
against the majority of the nation, who
long for peace, but, against the minority,
who shouted "1‘0 Be'rlin’ in 1870.”
