By a vote of the Board of School Vis- itorsit has been decided that the day for the County teachers’ _ meeting at ' Bridgeport shall not be counted as a school day, and in consequence the schools at Franklin and Concord streets, South N orwalk, will be in reg- ular session to-morrow. This is wrong and should not be al- lowed as the scholars are in no wise to blame for the teachers’ closing their schools on the pretext of attending the teachers’ meetings. They were willing to attend school on the day of the meet- ing had their teachers been there, as they should have been, and now that the hot spell is upon us, it is certainly cruel and unjust to the scholars to be required to attend school on their only play day in the week. We hope that such business will be summarily stopped. ‘ The Housatonic Deal and its Re- sults. ' There is a great deal more in this Housatonic deal,if we are not mistaken, says the Hartford Courant, than ap- pears on the surface. In the first place, the action yesterday,as reported elsewhere, shows that the Consolidated road is practically the owner. It was within $60,000 of the purchase away back when the Starbuck party captured it, and the failure to connect :then has always been regretted. Better accom- modations at Bridgeport and more sat; isfactory working of the two systems .Will naturally follow. One of the most interesting questions . is as to the efi‘ect upon the New Eng- land road. Many have held that a se. vere blow has been struck to that prep- erty by this deal. It will be better to wait and see. The Housatonic has, in the opinion of at least some intelligent observers, been a hindrance rather than ahelp to the New England. It has been cemmon talk that there were two elements in the New England board—the Housatonic crowd and . those _to whom the New England was really the first consideration. If, now, the Housatonic element is dropped, why should not the New Eng- land have a better chance by itself, if the amputation doesn’t come too late? The natural line of the road is east and west. J. Pierpont Morgan is supposed to be largely interested in the Erie, his firm being represented in its board,and he is known, of course, to be the mov- ing force 'in the great Reading and Poughkeepsie bridge re-organiz’ation. It is entirely possible that he may con- template a direct western alliance' for the New England itself, while attach- ing the Housatonic to the Consoli- dated, of which it is a natural feeder. ' ‘He is apparently in a position to- settle things in that way by his own say-so. Freed from its Housatonic entangle- ment and doing the business it was ment to do, the New England ‘ought to gain, not lose ; and, if it can be at- tached to any strong western line, then it will at length be relieved of the hopes and fears of a somewhat pro- miscuous coquetry and have an. oppor- ' tunity to enjoy the benefits of a per- manent alliance. ; Therefore, looked at from the stand- point of any one of the three roads in- vOlved, the deal seems likely to be ben- eficial. New Haven city slips up by losing now to the Consolidatedthe con- trol of the Derby road, which it tried so hard to put into other hands. But _ this incident is itself exceedingly sug- gestive. A few years ago there was a ”mighty and inost di‘Sgustingfight in our Legislatul'e over a project for giving to the Housatonic people a charter under which they might build a parallel road. The Courant was one of the papers that opposed the charter, hblding all through the fight that, if. the Housa- tonic succeeded, the effect would be to give that company something valuable, which it could and probably would, sell to the Consolidated. . . » That project was defeated, but-the Housatonic people picked up other 3 things that they considered valuable, and now behold they have gone and done just what 'was predicted. They have sold out to the Consolidated. The less that company had to' buy the bet- ' ter for the business public. ' ' . As things now stand. the Consoli-' dated road has all the mileage in the state except the New York & New Eng- land, the Central New Englandand the New London Northern, and the, last porations, as likely the New England will be.

Nonwank, CONN., June 17th. On the 28th of May last. I telegraphed to the Gamma from Minnekahta, in the Black Hills, “This is the greatest country on the globe.” We had been riding for twenty-four hours, through Nebraska and South Dakota, through rich farming lands, over rolling prai- ries, Where the rich black soil was in- exhaustible, Where thriving cities and villages wore springing up as if by magic, wfire a single crop planted the farm, and where churches and school houses, within sight of every railroad station, told their own story of a God-fearing and order-loving ‘com- munity. We awoke in the morning and found the train stopping at Edgemont, the junction of the Black Hills branch with the main“ line of the Burlington rail- road. Partaking of a splendid break- fast at the beautiful station provided by this energetic and far-seeing cor- poration, we started out for the green covered hills in the distance, and soon our train was climbing mountains, shooting through tunnels, crossing bridges, and all the time going up, up into vales and parks and plateaus, fer- tile and well watered and bordered by cliffs and mountains, that altogether made the most charming scenery that we had ever witnessed. Jumping from the train in one of these splendid val- leys, level as a house floor, green as a well kept lawn, drinking in the glorious air, that seemed as if it would raise a consumptive from the dead, and look- ing at the magnificent mountains that rose all about in the distance, we felt that,_next to our own New England; nothing could be more beautifudfland in that spirit, telegraphed. And now, though the enthusiasm has gone, the solid conviction remains that these great States of South Dakota and Wy- oming and their Western neighbors, lying as they do in our New ngland latitude and embraced in the belt which more than any equal section of the earth’s surface, holds its wealth, intelli- gence, culture and refinement, surely must be great and prosperous States. The climate, the air, the soil, the moun- tains with all their unparalleled miner- al wealth of gold, silver, lead, tin, and almost every knoWn mineral, the coal and petroleum of Wyoming, the mag- niflcent pine forests of the hills. and above all, the Wonderful fertility of the soil, all point to but one end, prosperi- ‘ty such as the world has never seen elsewhere. It cannot be otherwise. Into»: and through this section the "Burlington company have built a splen- did r.( d. .and must, in the very na- ture'of thin s, reap in the near future a rich rewar . Heavy steel rails, sub- stantial bridges, a splendid road-bed and thorough and systematic drainage, With first class rolling-stock and good not building lor to-day only, but that they, too, have come to stay and grow up with the country. . We had a great desire to visit the coal fields just over the line in Wyom- ing, but time did not permit. ,Norwalk’s industries find a good market through all this section. Hats, locks, and oysters from Norwalk are frequenty seen, and The Harney Peak Tin mines and the Camb’ria and New Castle Coal mines are using. the Air Compressors of 'The Norwalk Iron Works. To those of our party who had never visited the great West, every moment was a constant surprise and revelation, and any New Englander, instead, of spending the days and weeks of the could do no better thing for his body, mind, and soul,too, than to go through this magnificent country and see how good a place and lot in life the good Lord has given to us as a people. . have simply scratched one corner of it and propose to see more next year. .

Since the purchase of the Housatonic system by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, rumors have been flying thick and fast to the effect that the passenger and freighting sys- tem to Wilson Point would be discon- tinued by the Consohdated road and this valuable property remain idle. The GAZETTE is able to-day to deny these rumors and to state that not only Will this system be doubled, but a new road will be built from the Housatonic line to Bell Island and. . Roton Pomt, e ui ed with open or summer cars, ailid gggular trips made over this line between South Norwalk and Roton Point. That this will be of great bene- fit to the peeple of Norwalk there is no doubt, and When regular train ’commu. nication is established between South Norwalk and Roton Point this valuable property, the finest on Lon Island Sound, will become the fas ionable part of the town, and our citizens will vie with each other in erecting hand- some summer cotta es in which to pass the heated spells. ' he officials of the Consolidated road have already been over the ground and work on the new road will commence at once. In view of these facts it is unneces. sary to say that when this new road is completed and in running order Nor- walk Will have been benefitted to an unusual degree by the absorbing of the Housatonic by the Censolidated. A Narrow Escape. Yesterday afternoon about 5 o’clock- as Mrs. W. G. Thomas was being driv- en to the depot at South Norwalk to meet her son, one of the handsome bays picked up a stone and the coach- man stopped them near the South Nor- walk Methodist church and stepped down from his seat to remove the stone from the horse’s foot. As he was in the act of doing so the horses took fright and started off on a run. ,1 The coachman ran after them and succeed- ed in etting hold of the lines. but was power ess to stop the now thoroughly frightened horses and . was _ being dragged over the road at a rapid .rate. When in front of the residence of Mr. James H. Knapp the coachman by a lucky spring threw himself into the carriage on his hands and knees, and regaining his feet soon brought them under control. During the excitement Mrs. Thomas bravely retained her seat in the carriage, without attempting to jump out, and it was only through the daring act of her coachman that a seri- ous accident was averted. Row on Ludlow Street. - Wednesday evening the quiet of Lud- low street was disturbed by two resi- dents, John Brown and Patrick Kelly, who_got into a row'over their children. Dump the war of words Brown got Patric by the throat and pushed him up against the fence, which broke and the two combatants rolled into Patrick’s yard. Here Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Kel- y took a hand and separated them. Yesterday Patrick had John arrested for assault and he was brought before Judge Mead, who after hearing the testimony, proving the assault, which the prisoner and his Witnesses admitted, said that while an assault had been I committed he thought that one was as much to blame as the other and dis- char ed John on his promising to re- pair atrick’s fence, and peace once more reigns on Ludlow street. —~——4+> They Did Not Spar.
