“Truth “on all things.”
FRIDAY. JANUARY 15, 1892.

At Last.
At last the long-expected accident
has occurred. A poor woman lies upon
a bed of suffering, and all because of
arich man’s greed to obtain a little
more of the public’s domain, and the
unexplained refusal of a public ser-
vant to obey the instructions issued to
him by the people of the Borough
through their representatives. What
excuse can be offered for such gross
negligence ?
newspapers have called sufficient at-
tention to the condition of the curbing
in front of the Norwalk hotel, but
what effect has it had upon the owner
of the property, or upon the gentleman
instructed to have it repaired. They
might as well have talked to the winds.
What excuse can the rich property
owner offer this poor woman for his
part in the transaction? A pencil line
upon a map. its origin unknown, is all
that authorized the digging up of this
curb, and nothing but an insatiable,
grasping appetite for more caused this
poor woman’s sufferings.
What steps will be taken by Mrs.
Hall towards suing the Borough for its
neglect, in allowing the work to remain
in its dangerous condition, we know
not, but it is generally conceded that
she can recover heavy damages for her
accident ; at the same time public
opinion points its finger at the proper-
ty owner, who without right or auth-
ority made it possible for such an acci-
dent to occur, and says. FOR SHAME!

Our Board of Trade.
Should Rip Van Winkle make a
=second visit to this country and come
‘to Norwalk. he would certainly con-
gratulate our Board of Trade on being
his able and rightful successor, ready
and willing to compete with him in an-
other sleep of twenty years. Whether
our Board has taken the sleep that
knows no waking, we know not, but
certain we are that it has gone into In-
nocnous desuetude. Here are Bridge-
port, Stamford and Danbury, with un-
stinted liberality: and energy, gather-
jng in new manufactories and enter-
prises while the Nor walk Board of
Trade sleeps.
Where in all Connecticut is there a
better locality for manufactories?
Where in the whole State is there better
water power to be obtained ? Where,
as an old Norwalk sea captain used to
say. is there a town in the whole world
where God has done so much for and
the people so little,as here in Nor-
walk ?
Is it not time that we begin to make
an effort to bring new industries here
:before we wake up to the fact that New
Canaan, West-port and Darien have
passed us. as other towns of Connecti
out have done in the past. If Norwalk
is to be the home of wealth let the
manufacturing industries stay away
and let wealth have full sway, but be-
fore we give in to wealth let us all
unite and make an effort this new year
to boom old Norwalk. BOARD OF
TRADE, WAKE UP.
Gov. McKinley on Fair Play.
That portion of the inaugural mes.
sage of Gov. McKinley, of Ohio,which
relates to the redistricting of the State
for Representatives in Congress is
characterized by a spirit of fairness
which both parties cannot fail to com-
mend, and all the more if it is carried
out on the lines which the governor in-
dicates. He would have the districts
so constituted that no future legisla-
ture will dare disturb them during the
present apportionment, and in this
connection he takes occasion to depre-
cafe in pointed terms the extremes of
partisanship or any flagrant misuse Of
party advantage at the expense of pop-
ular suffrage.
It is to be hoped that the members of
the Ohio legislature were duly im-
pressed with the wisdom and justice of
Gov. McKinley’s counsels, sufficiently
so at least that in correcting the Dem-
ocratic . gerrymander which Republi-
cans generally stigmatize as a wanton
outrage upon the rights of the people,
they may not be tempted to reiterate,
its irregularities and iniquities in the
Opposite direction.
Partisanship is a good thing, as Gov.
McKinley says, when based upon prin-
ciple, but when perverted to merely
partisan ends cannot be too strongly
condemned. The New York Demo-
crats and the Ohio Republicans may
find food for wholesome thought in
the governor’s excellent utterances
upon this subject.

Minister Menti- Says That Describes
the Chilian Situation.
N0 DANGER OF A FIGHT.
He Plainly Intimates That the “’ar Scare
Is All in the American News-
papers :md Has No Foun-
dation in Foot.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—Miniscer Montt
tries to ridicule all intimations that a crisis
exists in the situation between this country
and Chili and all suggestions that we. may
have war over the attack upon our sailors
at Valparaiso.
To a reporter he said: “All ideas of war
is in the mind of the press of this country.
Today I received a Valparaiso newspaper,
which has an account of a ball given on
board your cruiser, Baltimore, at which
weren number of Chilians. It mentionsa
number of social entertainments given at
the residences in honor of American citi-
zens. ‘
Peace and Goodwill Reign.
“There is no intimation made of strained
relations between my country and your own.
All is peace there, and goodwill toward the
citizens of this country. In the same mail I
received a number of current American
daily newspapers.
“All talk about war with Chili. They
speak of Chilian hatred of American citizens.
They say President Harrison is about to ask
congress for authority to declare war with
Chili. All is blood and war with them.
What a difference in the condition of minds
in the two countries!”
A Cunning Diplomat.
Evidently Senor Montt is a cunning diplo-
matist. This is in the direct line of the
statements which have all along been made
by tongue, cable and the. mails to President
Harrison and Secretary Blaine. It is mis—
leading. While this kind of misrepresenta—
tion is being made the Chilian government
takes no steps to repair the outrages com-
mitted upon our sailors.
Killed Because They 'u'ere Yankees.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15,—The Examiner
says editorially:
officers and men of the Baltimore given at
Mare Island investigation makes it clear
that our sailors were assaulted in Valpa-
raiso because they were Americans. The
evidence is too strong to be shaken by inter-
ested Chilian statements.
"It is plain also that the Chilian authori~
ties were aware of the gravity of the out-
rage and not ignorant of the spirit which
prompted it. All reasonable doubt has now
been removed, and though Chili be little she
is not too small to be compelled to do jus-
tice.
Time Now to Act.
“The people will back our government in
proceeding with stern decision. Chili in
this matter has been treated leniently. The ‘
time for forcing her to do what, as a civil-
ized friendly power she should have done
voluntarily and promptly, has come.”
Be Killed the “'rong Man.
ELIZABETH, N. J ., Jan. l5.——Captain Har-
mon Blazier. aged seventy-two years, was
sentenced, at Elizabeth, to' ten years im-
prionment for killing Thomas \Vilson.
Blazier served in the Mexican and civil
wars. He killed \Vilson in mistake for a
man named Fullerton, who had beat-en his
daughter. ‘
The Kerr-Harrity Struggle.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 15.—The fight be
tween Kerr and Harrity for the vacant
place on the Democratic national committee
is growing in intensity. Chairman Brice has
declared there is no vacancy; that Mr. Kerr
has succeeded the late William L. Scott.
Arrested the Organist.
KUTZTOWN, Pa., J an. 15,—Part of the con—
gregation of St. John’s Lutheran church at
Kutztown had the organist, Preston Metz-
gar, arrested because he sang and played in
the church. The arresl. grew out of a dis-
pute over the selection of an organist.
Prostrated by a “’hitc Cap Notice.
CAMDEN, N. J ., Jan. 15.—Miss Hattie Van~
derherchen, a daughter of Rev. William H:
Vanderherchen, of Camden, is suffering
from nervous prostration caused by receiv-
ing a \Vhite Cap notice.
Havemeyer Ito-elected President.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—The directors of the
American Sugar Refining company have re-
elected H. O. Havemeyer president, and
John E. Searies secretary and treasurer for
the ensuing year. '
Arrested for Mutiny.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—Charles Mullan and
John Tallon, two seamen, were arrested on
board the sailing ship Herman on her ar-
rival here, charged with mutinous conduct.
An Earthquake at Memphis.
MEMPHIS, Jan. 15.—A distinct shock of
earthquake was felt here at 2:30 o’clock.
The vibrations were from north to south.
Buildings were shaken.
BRIEF MENTION.
The American Sugar Refining company,
at the stockholders’ meeting at Jersey City,
voted to increase the capital stock by
$25,000,000.

and dairy products for the year 1890 was
$131,375,044; for 1891, $120,941,929.

ferred her interests in the Forepaugh shows
to James A. Bailey, the owner of Barnum’s
circus. ,
. Claus Spreckles denied that any of his re-
fineries had become affiliated with the
trust.
Valentine Reynolds, aged seventy-two
years, of Swedesboro, N. J ., was choked to
death by a small piece of meat while at
dinner.
Secretary Foster was exhausted by his
trip to Fortress Monroe, but his condition
is not alarming.
Pittsburg is again agitated over the smoke
question. Since the consumption of nat-
ural gas has been reduced the city is becom-
ing very smoky.
The two houses met in joint session at
Columbus, 0., and elected John Sherman
United States senator to serve Ohio for six
years beginning January, 1893.
The examination of the books of the late
Wilson Hill, cashier of the Jamesburg (N.
J.) bank shows that he was an embozzler in
the sum of $25,000, as originally charged.
