We venture to say that every thought- ful and intelligent play-goer has asked himself, hundreds of times at least, whether there may not be some way to put a stop to the slow music introduced into the melodrama. No rational hu- man being likes it. No self-respecting person will pretend to affirm that it serves any useful purpose. t is detri- mental, idiotic offensive from every conceivable point of view, and yet it is with us and it presents every appear- ance of having come to stay. If so, it is a great pity. we know of nothing so absurd and so belittling to a really meritorious play as the intro- duction into particularly strong situa- tions of a lot of silly and impertinent noise erroneously called music. We have never been able to understand why a returned prodigal cannot tell his or her story of sin and sorrow without the aid of screeching fiddles and cater- wauling flutes. \Ve fail to see why the stern parent cannot curse the erring child except to an accompaniment of brass and catgut. The whole thing is at once monstrous and contemptible, irritating and ridiculous. If there hap- pens to be any force or feeling in the play it is instantaneously extracted, though not without pain, by the first twiddle of the bow. No rational being who has become interested and touched by the evolution of a story his sympathies invaded and his' emo- ions harrowed by a noise of wailing and squalling such as he is used to asso- ciating with a woodshed and to repel- ling with bootjacks and beer bottles. Seriously, the nuisance should be abolished. It is in execrable taste and is a fraud upon the intelligent and cul- tured patrons of the play. Dramas which require such accessories should be relegated to the dime theaters and devoted to the horror and 'delectation of unwholesome adolescence. COO Roton Point improvement Co. There wasa meeting of the Roton Point Improvement Company yester- day, at which considerable business was transacted. Of general interest will be the following memoranda : Messrs.

Why He Didn’t Lie. _ One of the teachers at the Brown School was trying to impress upon a class of small children the lessonskug- gested by the approaching anniversary of Washington’s birth. pecial em- phaSlS was laid upon the fact that he never told a lie.

' NORWALK, CONN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1892. -/u Accident on the Housatonic- The engine of Conductor Smith’s ' train, which is due to arrive at Nor- walk at 8.14 a. m., broke down near the Branchville station this morning. Engine 43 of the Ridgefield branch was substituted for the broken engine and the train proceeded with but a.short delay, but just enough to miss connec- tions for New York atSouth Norwalk. 0 Says he is his Father. A little Italian boy has been living for some time past with John H. Mon- roe, a farmer, who resides on Com- stock Hill. Mr. Monroe and family have given him a good home and are teaching him to read and write, and the boy has been, and is perfectly con- tented. A few day ago a man who claims that he is the father of the boy, came to Mr. Monroe’s house and wanted the boy to go with him. This the boy refused to do, sa'ying that the man was not his father. The man was down town yesterday and called on several of the authorities for advice in the matter, but he did not receive much encouragement as it seems to be the general opinion that he is not the father of the boy, and only. wants to get hold of him, so that he may control what wages he earns. <A AV 7; A Sample Case. Ellison \Villiams, a colored resident of Knight street, raised a rumpus at his home yesterday noon. and his wife wanted him arrested, claiming that he had kicked her in the side and terribly injured her. She called on Grand J u- ror Monson Hoyt, who with his usual promptness investigated the case and refused to issue a warrant for Ellison’s arrest, as there was notéjgiiflrcient evi- dence for so doing. 'l‘he’ernd Juror told Mrs. Williams, however, to go to Dr. Baldwin who would examine her and see whether she was injured. This she did, and the doctor sent a note after the examination saying that she was not injured in the least. Law- yer Joseph A. Gray got hold of the case later in the day and knowing, it is said, that Grand Juror'Monson Hoyt had refused to sign a writ, and also the contents of the note which had been received from Dr. Baldwin, took the writ before Grand Juror John H. Hoyt, when that gentleman was in a hurry to attend an important meeting. and induced him to sign it, explaining to him the circumstances of the case .minus the fact that another Grand Juror had refused to sign, or that a note had been received from the doc- m.:mgfing that... no injury had been done to the woman. Ellison was ar- rested on this writ and brought be fore Judge Austin, who fined him $3 and costs, but subsequently remitted the fine and discharged the man on the payment of the costs. Grand Juror John H. Hoyt after learning the facts of the case, after the trial, would not accept his fee for signing the writ, and this morning he informed a GAZETTE reporter that he would never have signed it had he known the facts and the existence of the note from the doc- tor. Busmess must certainly be dull at Lawyer Gray’s stand when he will resort to such practice in order ‘to make cuts. case, and the $1.75 which he received for drawing up the papers must have looked larger than an ele- phant to him. Azoturia. Owing to the large number of cases of this peculiar disease which is preva- lent among horses in this section, the GAZETTE requested Dr. H. E. Bates, D. V. S., to write an account for its readers of the cause of Azoturia, and the way in which it attacks its victim. This the Doctor has done in the follow- ing very clear and concise statement: “Of the many diseases due to impro- per feeding, there is one I wish to call the. attention of all persons interested in horses. namely, Azoturia, Having been called upon several occasions of late to treat horses suffering with this 'disease. prompted me in extending through the columns of this paper a lit- tle advice which may be of some bene- fit, especially to those who have been unfortunate enough to have an animal so afflicted. The horse usually affected will be, with but few exceptions, the favorite, if in a stable of more than one; it will also be after a few days’ idleness, which may occur from an ac- cident, of which there are many, inca- pacitating the animal for work, and no- tably so through the winter months, they being more proneto injuries from sharp calks, &c., while rarely do we see it in summer. During the blizzard of ’87 the loss in New York alone was enormous, due to the few days’ rest which horses there received, and at the time receiving full rations. The am- mal may be taken in the stable, but more often it is upon the street after this period of rest, and your attention will be called usually within the first mile to a peculiar action in one or both posterior extremities as though the an- imal had picked up a nail. Then there will be a trembling and also a breaking out of a profuse perspiration, and be- fore you have succeeded in gomga great distance, the horse falls, and in the ma'ority of cases, is unable to rise. The et ology of this disease is directly connected with high feeding, especmlly upon highly nitrogenized food such as oats, beans, &c., which is augmented by the liver failing to perform its func— tions and the inactivity of the. skin through the present season. It is not . necessary to go .into the anatomical features that exist throughout the life of solipeds which no doubt have some- thing to 510 with the cause. You may ask If it 18 any particular horse that is subjcct to this malady ; in my experi- ence I have found it is the heavy drau ht horse that is affected oftener than t_ at the gentleman drives. In conclusmn let me say thatthe preventive measures in this serious affection are ,in restrict- ing the diet, and a little exerciselif pos- sible. A horse that'has had one attack and recovered should never be left idle without diminishing the feed. and that should be of a. laxative nature.” Jumped the Track. The truck of one of the cars on the freight train from Hartford due in new Haven at 7 p.. m., jumped the track at North Haven last night and was delayed an hour. The limited was nearly an hour late on account of the accident. ‘ . Opera House. To-morrow evening the Henry Bur- lesque Company will appear at the Opera House and with them will be the great wrestler, William Muldoon. The press of the country speak in the high- est terms of this company and a good house should greet them. _______‘+ A Crash in the Tunnel. A train on the New York and New Haven road was derailed in the New York tunnel yesterday morning and ran two blocks on the ties before the engineer, who was thrown from side to . side in his cab by the jolting, could reach the air brake.‘ Everybody on board was well-shaken, but nobody was hurt. Dropping out of a five-inch section of rail caused the accident. The locomotive pilot was wrecked and the machinery broken. The cars suf- fered too. Glass was broken and the platforms smashed. _ _4_.,,_‘__._4_ Hartford Joins the Circuit. The Gentlemen’s Driving Club, of Hartford has voted to join the.
