Sherman Statue Fund.

All honor to the plucky New York
Recorder which, within the space of
five weeks, has raised a fund of $56,370.-
55 which is to be devoted to the erec-
tion of a statue to General Sherman.
The initial movement in this excellent
work was made by the Recorder, and
from the first its efforts were so system-
atic and well-directed that it secured
the practical co-operation of such pub-
lic-spirited New Yorkers as John H.
Starin, Cornelius W. Bliss, Horace Por-
ter, Jesse Seligman and D. 0. Mills.
The result is seen in the early comple-
tion of the great work undertaken by
New York’s youngest daily newspaper,
and it should receive the commendation
clearly its due.

Concluding its editorial announce-
ment of the facts connected with the
raising of the fund the Recorder justly
says: “It is only necessary to add that
the large fund was raised quietly, mod-

estly and without resort td objection- .

able or vulgar methods of any sort.
Nothing was done that could in any
way have offended the quiet good taste
of the gallant old hero in whose honor
the movement was suggested. And
that the money raised will be wisely
expended upon a work of art to be
completed with as much speed as is
consistent with real excellence, the
subscribers and the public may rest
assured.” I

Senator Seymour Converts Ex-
Senator Hill. ‘
As we expected,our friend E. J. Hill,
after securing all the spring novelties
in lumber at Albany, slid around home-

ward via. the Boston & Albany route

and brought up by the inevitable force
of the natural gravitation of his nature
at the state house, at Hartford, yester-
day, just as Senator Seymour and Sen-
ator Cleveland were having a little
playful familiarity with each other
after the Kilkenny cat love-feast plan.
Hill says that Seymour had a carefully
prepared, type-written speech in sup-
port of his plan of reconstruction. but
that Cleveland so nettled him, that,
in a burst of righteous indignation‘
Seymour threw his prepared speech aside
and sailed into Cleveland grandly and
damagingly. The effort was such a
brilliant and unexpected outburst of
sound reasoning “and eloquence that
Hill owned himself converted, and for
once really proud of this district’s rep-

resentative in the. Senate. It is said
that poor “Cleve” came out of the

family quarrel in about as demoralized
a condition as the chap who monkeyed»
with the buzz-saw. '

Starving lrish Peasants.

Bos'rox, March 26.—~William Lloyd
Garrison has received a letter from a
lady who has charge of the distribution
of relief in Connemara, western part of
Ireland, in which she says : “You will
hardly believe me when I tell you that
not one farthing of the large fund Mr.
Balfour has collected has come to the
people. But for our private .work many
must have died of famine. All the
government officials send their cases to
us—poor law officers, police magistrates
beside priests and doctors. The peo-
ple are clamoring for food and work,
and we find that we cannot supply the
increasing need. We have organized
our work so far that only the aged and
those who have no able-bodied helper
and the sick receive food, but the in-
creasing number of these arises from
all the districts around coming for help
also. It is a most deplorable state of
things, because with relief comes de-
moralization, and the whole thing
might have been easily prevented, had
the advice of those who understood the
question been taken last year.”

Another Requisition.

NEW HAVEN, March 26th.—Detective
Buyer of Philadelphia, arrived in this
city this morning with papers from
Governor Pattison, asking Governor
Bulkeley for a requisition for Henry
Decker, the ball player. . He will go to
Hartford this afternoon and present
the papers asking for the delivery of
Decker to the Philadelphia authorities,
and if Governor Bulkeley honors it he
will start to-night for home. Decker’s
attorney says that Governor Bulkeley
cannot legally grant the requisition as
he is not the legal governor of the
state. Duyer says that he does not
care who is the governor so long as he
gets the seal of the State on the papers-

0. A. R. Anniversary.

The 25th anniversary of the founda-

WEEKLYINORWALK:

Railway Travel Dangers.

While near Southport, coming from
New York last night, the local express,
due at New Haven at 8:20 struck some
obstruction, the efi'ects of which were
felt by all the passengers on the train.
As no stop was made what was struck
was not ascertained, but it must have
been something very tough, as the rub-
ber air pipes on the baggage car and
first passenger coach were found to be
broken when the train arrived. This
necessitated cutting the cars off and
substituting other ones before the train
could proceed. The passengers on the
train were badly frightened for a sec-
ond. ‘ The obstruction could not have
been a man’s body, as the shock was
too great, and was probably a horse or
some bovine animal.

The Rev. D. B. Lord, until now pas-
tor of the Congregational church, Can-
ton Centre, has been secured as the
agent of the Connecticut Temperance
Uni'on and will devote his whole time
to its work. He will live in West Hart-
ford. Mr. Lord is an interesting speak-
er and has alreadymade a good im-
pression in his new line of effort. Rev.
Mr. James, the Secretary. is just clos- ,
ing his first year of labor in which he
has delivered some two hundred and
eighty addresses in seventy-seven
towns and one hundred and seventy
meeting-places. Fresh interest in the
cause is manifested in many ways.
With two energetic men constantly at
work, this cannot but increase.

 

The joint board of county commis-
sioners of New Haven and Fairfield
counties decided to no longer consider
the bid of the Groton Bridge com-
pany for the new bridge at Hunting—
ton. This will leave only two compet-
itors, the Berlin Bridge company and
Dean~ & Westbrook company of New
York city. The bid of the former was
$54,000 and the latter $62,000. The New
Haven commissioners favored the Ber-
lin bridge and the Fairfield commis—
sioners the other. No agreement was
reached and the meeting adjourned to
Saturday.

Aged J. E. Coe of Meriden, 013., was
in the Tombs Police Court yesterday to
answer a charge of distributing hand—
bills in the street in defiance of the ordi-
nance. But the handbills proved to
be leaflets from the Bible and the old
man triumphantly gaVe copies to the
Judge, the policemen and the Spectaw
tors and Went on his way rejoicing.—
[New York Recorder. We always
thought the average New York pelice-
man couldn’t teli a hawk from a hand-
saw. Calling a leaf from the Bible 9.
handbill, however, is nearer the mark
than the fellows usually get.

It will be remembered that William
E. Buxton was injured a few weeksh
ago by a press partly falling upon him
in the.GAZETTE office stairway. Yes-
terday Gus. Franke, local agent of the
Connecticut _ Indemnity Association,
paid over to Mr. Buxton the sum of $70
for loss of time and expenses incurred
because of his trouble. As the GAZETTE
is likely to put in another press in the
near future, applications for eligible
places on the stairway, and elsewhere,
are in order _________

Col. F. St. John Lockwood and
daughter, when in' Cleveland a few
days since, rode out Euclid avenue on
an electric car 'to the beautiful ceme-
teI y where the Garfield monument has
been so recently completed. «It is one
of the most exquisite pieces of monu-
mental sculpture in the country. All
whoknew the martyr President, and
many hereabout did personally and-
well, will concede that he was worthy
of all his grateful countrymen can do
to perpetuate his memory.

. Charges have been preferred against
Special Officer Hayes, of Bridgeport
by George W. Hart, the young man
before the City Court last week charged
with criminally assaulting Mrs. John J.
Birney. Hart alleges that when Hayes
arrested him he was very impolite in
the discharge of his duty and acted. in
a manner unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman.

Now it remains to be seen if the old
signs are to be relied upon, or if this is
one of those years that go by contra-
ries. The equinoctial storm cleared
away in the day time and was followed
by a warm afternoon, consequently
warm weather should follow and an
early spring be the result. So says our
sprightly Ansonia contemporary, the
Sentinel.

At the meeting of the agents of the
different coal companies, held in New
York Tuesday, itwas‘voted to reduce.
the price of stove coal 40.cents.per ton,

The new schedule. makes stove $3.75,
egg $3.60 and chestnut $3.50.

Miss Clara Guiles were well rendered,
as also'was the duet ~by Misses Millie

much to the enjoyment of all.
