FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1892.
{Entered at the Post Office as a Newspaper]
The Sherman Statue.
The movement for the erection at the
National Capitol of a statue in honor of
Gen. William T. Sherman, which shall
be a “suitable and permanent expres-
sion of the respect, admiration, and
gratitude felt by the American people
for the noble character, lofty patriot-
ism. and invaluable services” of this
' distinguished soldier, originated with
the Society of the Army of the Tennes—
see at its annual meeting in Chicago
last October, and a committee of five
was then appointed, of which Gen.
Grenville M. Dodge is chairman, to
take such measures as may be deemed
necessary to carry out the proposed
object.
At a meeting of this committee in
Chicago on the 9th of November last,
two of its members. Gen. John W. No-
ble, of Missouri, and Col. David B.
Henderson, of Iowa, were appointed a
sub-committeelon Congressional legis—
lation and authorized to ask for an ap-
propriation of $50,000. being the same
amount' appropriated in each case for
the Hancock, Logan, and Sheridan
statues. An invitation was also ex-
tended to the armies of the Ohio, Po-
tomac, and Cumberland, to the Loyal
Legion and the Grand Army. to join
with the Society of the Army of the
Tennessee in raising additional funds
for the purpose in view; and Gen.
‘Dodge, the chairman, was furthermore
instructed to appoint a committee of
five in each State to solicit general
contributions in order that the people
at large, as well as the veterans of the
war. might have an opportunity to par-
ticipate in this tribute to one of the
greatest of American soldiers.
It is the intention of the committee,
and it will doubtless be in its power, to
make the Sherman statue the most
elaborate memorial of its kind in Wash-
ington. It is the ardent desire of Gen.
Dodge to secure a fund of not less than
$150.000, of which Congress will no
doubt give $50,000 and possibly$75,000.
It will remain for the-members of the
various societies mentioned, the Loyal
Legion, the Grand Army, and
citizens in general to furnish all
that may be needed above the Con-
gressional appropriation ; and there
can be no question as to what the re-
sponse of the country to the patriotic
appeal of the committee will be. Gen.
Sherman entitled' himself to all the
honors that can possibly be paid him,
and there is no place so appropriate as
the National Capitol for the monument-
a1 commemoration of his fame.
In this work the citizens of N orwalk
should. and no doubt will, feel the liv-
liest interest, for the special reason
that although Gen. Sherman was born
in Ohio, his parents were natives and
long residents of this town, as we're his
ancestors for many generations. His
father’s house is still standing and now
known as the “Boers Place” on Main
street, next above. the Sherry home-
stead. Then when a suitable monu—
ment is raised to this conspicuous Gen-
era] of the late war, may we not hOpe
that every citizen of Norwalk will
awake to the importance of erecting,r a
Soldiers’ Monument commemorative of
the valor Of those sons of Norwalk who
gave their lives to their country.

Friction in a Church.
The Union Church, which is located
in the wicked city of Chicago, is in-
volved in a bitter controversy which
threatens to disrupt the organization
and scatter the; congregation to the
four winds. This place of worship was
established by some of the colored
residents of Chicago who could no lon-
ger subscribe to the beliefs of the older
denominations, and it continued in a
flourishing condition until two of the
leading spirits differed on vital ques-
tions, and now when meetings take
place in the edifice it is necessary to
call in the police to prevent the two
factions inflicting bodily harm on those
who participate in worship.
The leaders of the respective factions
are Elder Boyd, who has,in to the
time of the present difficulty, been the
generally recognized pastor of the con
gregation, and Elder Barnett, one of
those particular individuals who enter-
tains remarkable ideas and the courage
to insist on their adoption: It seems
that Elder Barnett charged Elder Boyd
with having winked at the female mem-
bers of the congregation, and such con-
duct is regarded by him as sufficient
caused for a change of ministers. On
the other hand Elder Boyd denies most
emphatically that he has knowmgly
-made - such ocular demonstrations
toward the female portion of the flock,
but admits that he suffers from a ner-
vous twitching of the eyes, which may
have led to Elder Barnett’s serious
charge. ~
But Elder Boyd doesn’t stop at this
denial. He goes further and seeks to
demonstrate that Elder Barnett is not
a. proper person to act as a pastoral
censor. He charges that Elder Bar-
nett is guilty of spitting on the stove
in the midst bf divine service, and he
alleges that tho cldcr’s expectoration
has greatly retarded this year’s revival
wqu. Besides, he complains that he
was to receive 810 per sermon for his
I labor against Chicago wickedness, and
that his salary is several months in

arrears. On these grave issues the
congregation is about evenly divided.
and the prospect for an early settle-
ment of the trouble is not at all prom-
ising, says the Washington Post. In
the mean time Elder Boyd and the po-
lice are holding the fort, and it may be
that the pastor with the unpaid salary
will be able to freeze out Elder Barnett
and that section of the congregation
which indorses his course.
The Tuhey Case.
Too much praise cannot be given our
police force for the able manner in
which the case of Tuhey was worked
up and the successful raid carried out.
Tuhey has been carrying on his nefari-
ous business for years without let or
hindrance. The local newspapers have
called the attention of the prosecuting
agent to his place time and time again
without result, and no doubt he would
have been undisturbed and allowed to
violate the law for years to come had
not officer George Northrup detained
the two frequenters of that resort Sun-
day evening until he could get Chief
DeFor-est to headquarters. The Chief
was not long in presenting his witnesses
with their evidence to the prosecuting
agent, and their sworn statements made
it obligatory upon the agent to issue the
warrants.
Another point in the case wherein
the Chief comes in for praise was his
promptness in stationing an officer on
Franklin avenue all night to see that
Tuhey was not notified of the impend-
ing raid, and his contraband liquors
carted away before the police zarrived.
The raid, arrest and conviction were
carried out without a hitch of any de-
scription, and the citizens of our Bor-
ough,without regard to politics, should
feel proud of it’s police force.

Drowned in the "Creek.”
As published exclusively in Tues—
day’s DAILY GAZETTE Charles II. Ar-
nold, an oysterman, was drowned in
the creek ,Tuesday afternoon ashort
distance below the old Selleck boat
house.
About one o’clock Arnold secured a'
skiff belonging to William Nadin and
taking his spear went after eels. He
was seen by several residents along the
river as he was rowing along, but after
anchoring his boat his actions and ac-
cident seem to have had no witnesses,
although the bill clerk at the House.-
tonic freight house says he noticed him
sitting down in his boat and acting as
though sick. At a quarter to two
o’clock as Frank O’Sullivan was going
to his dinner he glanced out on the
river and saw apair of rubber boots,
as he supposed, floating about on the
water. He also saw Arnold’s unoccu—
pied boat anchored out in the stream
and the handle of his eel spear sticking
out of' the water, but gave it no
thought. After finishing his dinner
and coming out of the house, which
looks out upon the creek. he again saw
the boots floating about. He then
went to \Villiam Cockefur’s house and
called him out to see the boots, saying
that they might belong to some one
drowned and suggested that they go
out and see. Cockcfur secured his
boat and the two rowed out to the boots
and found that O’Sullivan’s surmise
was correct and, that a man had been
drowned and that it was Charles Arn—
old. They quickly passed a rope about
the feet of the corpse and brought him
to the dock where he was left,and med-
ical examiner Burke notified. A large
crowd had collected when Dr. Burke.
arrived and the body was towed up in
front of Charles Hendrick’s, where it
was taken from the water and laid
upon the beach. There were no marks
upon the body, but his clothing was
considerably torn. which. in connec-
tion with the broken oar-lock pins on
his boat, looked as though he had
caught upon the pins when falling.
Dr. Burke decided that he had been
accidentally drowned, and his remains
were taken to undertaker Raymond’s
and then removed to his home on High
street. Arnold was about 69 years of
age and leaves a wife. His nephew, C.
V. Arnold‘ is an employee of the DAILY
GAZETTE. As far as can be ascertained
no one saw him fall out of the boat,
but as he has been a great sufferer from
rheumatism it is surmised that he was
taken with an attack and lost his bal-
ance and went overboard, and that the
sudden immersion in the cold water
produced apoplexy.
The funeral was held at his late
residence on High street, yesterday
afternoon at 2 o’clock.
‘. Piaoxl Fabric.
Dr. Mitscherlich, a German, has
found n stuff that may supersede wool
and cotton for fabrics. Thin boards,
with the knots taken out, are treated
with a. solution of sulphuric acid in a
hollow boiler. Not only the hard
matter, which is the cause of the brit-
tleness in wood fibers is eliminated by
this treatment, but the fibre itself
is chemically transformed. It is
bleached, and becomes silky, as well
as strong and elastic. It is then
treated in the same manner as any
other goods, that is, combed, spun
and finally woven into stufl‘s of exceed-
ing fineness and different varieties.
His Mind is Gone.’
“Old man Clamhopper has married
again.”
“You don’t tell me so?”
“Yes, and he has married aright
young girl, forty years younger than
he is.”
“Well, I declare. His other Wife
only died six months ago, and he
went on so at the grave that Iex-
pected he would lose his mind. ”
“ Well, you see, your prediction has
come to pass.”-—-Tcxas Sittings.

DIES. I‘ARNELL SURRENDERED.
The Famous “’ood Will Case Settled by
Family Arrangement.
LONDON, Marc 25.-—The hearing of the
Wood will case was set for Thursday,before
Justice J eune. Mrs. Wood, the te‘statrix.‘
' died several years ago leaving a. fortune 01
about $1,000,000 to her niece, then Mrs.
O’Shea, and now the widow of Charles
Stewart Parnell. The other nieces and a
nephew, General Sir Evelyn Wood, brought
suit to have the will set aside, alleging that
undue influence had been used upon Mrs
Wood to get her to make her will in Mrs.
Parnell’s favor.
The counsel and the parties to the suit
had an animated conversation for an houi
before the opening of the court, during
which the will of Mrs. Wood was passed
around for examination. After Justice
Jeune had taken his seat, Sir Charles Rus-
sell, counsel for Mrs. Parnell, announced
that the case had been settled by a family
arrangement. The terms of the settlement
have not been made public, but it is be-
lieved that Mrs. Parnell, to whom every-
thing was left absolutely, has consented to
relinquish to the seven claimants a consid-
erable share of her inheritance.
New York,
March net, 1892.
Our boys’ clothes are hard
to beat. The reason is, they
are all of our own careful
make, and they are made to
veer; not merely to look well
until sold and out of the store.
Every part of the. garment has
the utmost attention, the in-
side as much as the outside,
even the parts not seen.
Then when it comes to
prices, we fix our scale of
profits lower on the little stuff
than on any other goods we
handle, because to clothe a
small boy seems to cost more
in proportion to his size than
it does for a man,and we want
a large share of this particu-
lar business.
