End of the Convention.
The Democratic National Convention
ended its labors yesterday evening,
amid another down pour of rain. by the
nominatiou'of ADLAI E. STEVENSON of
Illinois, for Vice President. He is a
strong partisan and a man of high per-
sonal character and ability. He is
chiefly known as .an Assistant P. M.
General during the Cleveland adminis-
tration. His selection, instead of ex-
Governor Gray, of Indiana, was one of
the surprises of the Convention, and
was partly due to the wish of the anti-
Cleveland men to punish the Hoosier
leader for joining in the move to nomi-
nate the ex-President on the promise
that he should be given a place on the
ticket.
The drenching flow of water through
the roof of the ramshackle Wigwam
again, was only equaled by the flow
of eloquence with which the Conven-
tion was innundated in the presenta-
tion of candidates for the second place
on the ticket. But despite their damp-
ened‘ardor and clothing, the delegates
brought the Convention to an orderly
conclusion.
The N.Y. Herald consolingly remarks
that the delegates rushed things through
rather more rapidly than sound judg-
ment would dictate, but it must be re-
membered that the delay of delibera-
tion might have forced them to witness
another wicked Chicago Sunday. They
wanted to get home in time for church.
The Democratic Platform.
The platform adopted by the Demo-
cratic Convention at Chicago embodies,
says the Philadelphia Times, many
sound principles, along with some ex.
pressions that are open to dispute, but
it is too long for its purpose and is not
likely to receive much consideration
either now or during the campaign.
Like the Republican platform, it
spreads over a great amount of ground
and contains a great variety of bids for
interested votes that will make no im-
pression upon anybody. The general
tendencies of the two parties are suffi-
ciently well understood and upon these
the people will pass judgment.
The candidates will be a better ex-
pression of party purposes than the
platforms upon either side.

After Many Years.
Cards are out for the marriage of our
old townswoman (why not townswoman
as well as townsman ?) Mehitabel
Holmes to Israel Goodman. Mehita-
bel is 69 and Israel 75, and they will
have been engaged just 50 years June
30th, their wedding day. Mehitabel’s
mother had always objected to Israel
as a “shiftless lad” and Mehitabel be-
ing a dutiful daughter, has gone on be-
ing a sister to him all this half century.
Last month old Mrs. Holmes died and
as Mehitabel’s other relatives had no
deep-seated objection to Israel,who has
amassed quite a fortune in the lumber
business,the while he loved and waited,
his sweetheart said the word that is to
make him a happy man. They have
the best wishes of the entire communi-
ty for a long and happy married life.—

all others who enjoy his acquaintance.
, Of the several hundred GAZETTE bal-
lots cast as to who would be the noun-
nees on the democratic presidential
ticket, not one bore the names of the
successful men. While nearly all of
the voters named Cleveland, the name
,of the candidate who received the nom-
' ination for the vice presidency was not
written in any of the combinations pre-
sented at this office.

It is stated that the yield of straw-
berries on Long Island has caused the
price to fall so low that the growers
have ceased to pick the fruit and ship
to market. In consequence thousands
of quarts of berries remain on the vine
to decay. Wednesday’s shipments to
Connecticut dealers returned but one
cent per quart. The growers having to
pay the freight and two cents a quart
for picking, sustaining a loss on every
crate shipped. For several days they
sold for a dollar a crate. _

B. M. Lockwood drove Gossip Jr. a

Not as Reported.
Considerable erroneous gossip is
afloat involving charges of crookedness
on the part of Major Doty in the use
of trust funds belonging to his father’s
estate. He is executor and has E. A.
Woodward as bondsman and no loss is
liable to come to the estate. Indeed it
’is asserted in Major Doty’s behalf, that
the small admitted deficiency in that
fund .does not amount to his own heir-
ship interest therein. The gossips have
no excuse for misrepresenting the facts
to his discredit and the discomforture
of his relatives interested in the estate.
Calf'Pasture as Charley Squires of
' Bethel Sees It.
Calf Pasture at South Norwalk is,
quite a favorite camping ground with
many Bethel people. _ The place has
many advantages. It is close to the
salt water and the mosquitoes are big-
ger. A Bethel party is down there now
enjoying a week’s stay, and several
other parties are being organized to
go latera Just why the place is Calf
Pasture is a mystery. There isn’t pas-
ture enough for a stuffed dog and areal
'live calf would have to live on sea weed
or clam shells in order to exist there.
But a camper-out always manages to
find plenty to eat in the line of sea
food, and a week’s stay does as much
good for some folks as a barrel of cod
liver oil could. No Fourth of July
clam—bake, no matter how patriotic, can
compare with a genuine clam-bake. at
the sea shore. The clams are not so an-
cient. Everything is fresh and just
picked from the brinv deep. '
Osborn-Taylor Mill.
About fifty Bridgeport and Norwalk
sports left last night for Greenwich to
witness the fight between Buck Taylor
and Bink Osborn of Bridgeport, colored
light weights. Two carryalls were in
waiting at the Greenwich depot into
which the principals and their friends
seated themselves and were soon at an
old barn just over the line in New York
state, in which the fight took place.
Sixteen lively rounds were fought,
Taylor winning first blood and first
knock down as well as the fight. Both
principals were on the floor under the
ropes in the last round pummelling
each other in the latest style of the art
amidst loud cries of foul from Osborn’s
friends, but referee Dan McIntyre
would not allow it and gave the fight
to Taylor. Osborn was pretty well
used up, but Taylor was walking around
South N orwalk this morning, carrying
a satchel containing his fighting clothes
apparently uninjured and feeling as
important as a second John L.

In Troubh.
The officers of the G. W. Wakeman
M’f’g Co., the Bridgeport hat manu-
facturing concern which is laboring
under severe financial difficulties, are
charged by the representatives of vari-
ous insurance companies with whom
they were insured at the time of the.
recent fire which destroyed their plant,
with having insured their property for
five times its real value.
The motive for this alleged over in-
surance is not given by the insurance
adjusters, but hints have been thrown
out as to the mystery surrounding the
origin of the recent fire. The compa-
ny carried an insurance of about $8,000
in the London, Norwich Union, Al-
bany and Mechanics and Traders Fire
Insurance companies.
The refusal of the insurance adjusters
.to pay the policies has brought about
the present financial difficulties of the
company. All of the insurance poli-
cies have been garnisheed in the suits
brought by the creditors.

A Notable Week.
The past week has been a_most nota-
ble one for Norwalk. The jomt meet-v
ings of the State Congregational Asso-
ciation and the Connecticut Congrega-
tional Conference, which have been
held here at the First Church, Will live
long in the memory of that denomina-
tion, as well as prove a very pleasant
recollection to great numbers of other
denominations, and as good Dr. Noble
expresses it, “of no denomination. ”
There have been assembled here
great numbers of the brightest clerical
and lay minds of the christian church.
The social and enlarged personal ac-
quaintance resulting from the conven-
ing here of these two bodies, must also
prove not only a lasting delight to our
people, but an element of great power
and good. Norwalk extended its old
time and genuine hospitality in un-
stinted measure and the courtesy, like
charity, hath been twice bleSsed,—
abundantly blessing giver as well as re-
ceiver. ‘
Yesterday’s triple programme, con-
cluded the week’s most profitable and
enjoyable programme. The notable
event of the morning session was a
most interesting paper by Hon. enry
C. Robinson on the subject of “What
shall we do with the first day of the
week.” We procured a copy of this
able paper and had hoped to publish it
entire, but find it too lengthy for our
crowded columns. It is to be published
and freely distributed, however, by the
Association. The specific point taken
and elaborated in the essay, may be
tersely epitomized in the Saviour’s own
view of the day—“Wouldst thou do
good or evil on the Sabbath day? ”
In the afternoon, the report by Rev.
Charles C.. Goddard, of Salisbury, on
the condition of the prayer meeting in
Connecticut, was both humorous, d1-
dactic and full of practical suggestions.
The forceful and practical gem of the
session was the erudite paper by ex-
Commissioner of Patents, Hon. Charles
E. Mitchell, on the timely subject of
“How can we awaken among our
church members a keener sense 'of
their duties as citizens?” This treatise
culminated in the logical deduction, the
better christian the better citizen. It
is a matter of no small gratification to
know that these able papers are all to
be published and generally distributed
throughout the State. Mr. Mitchell
got off the train on a return trip from
professional business in Washington,
and after taking tea at Senator Sey-
mou'r’s was obliged to leave for his
home in New Britain. .
The evening session was opened With
prayer by Prof. J acobus, of Hartford.
Dr. Noble presented first his “illus-
trious predecessor,” Rev. r. Joseph
Anderson, of Waterbury,—a formerV
pastor of the First Church of NorWalk.
Mr. Anderson confined his remarks to
reminiscences of his former, pastorate
here and of congratulation that the old
church had grown and prospered so
well. He spoke of the great changes
and improvements now Vialble to him,
in the_old town, during the interven-
ing thirty years Since he preached tHhe
e
said the first Sunday of his presence
here as pastor, he should never forget.
The populace were all wending . their
way to and crowding about the railroad
depot to gain some intelligence from
rebel beleaguered Fort Sumter. .He
made a delicate and yet most beautiful
reference to a call he had made yester-
day upon the oldest member of the
church, now in her 88th year, and un-
derstood to refer to the venerable and
esteemed Mrs. James Mallory.
The next speaker was Rev. E. S.
Lines, an Episcopal clergyman from
New Haven. He was followed in order
by‘ David G. Porter, Esq., of Water-
bury, a noted Baptist brother ; by Rev.
H. A. Davenport, of Bridgeport, a
Presbyterian DiVine and by Rev. John
Rhey Thompson, pastor of a M. E.
Church in Meriden. With prayer,
singing and benediction the delightful
exercises cf the week were brought to
an end. . .
At the close of the _busrness meeting
yesterday, the followmg resolution was
passed :—
Resol-vea.—That this Conference at the con-
clusion of this the 26th annual meeting. de—
sires to express its hearty appreCiation and
gratitude for the welcome cordially. extended
to it by the officers and members of the First
Congregational Church of Norwalk; for the
generous and Christian hospitality accorded
to its members by the families connected with
this and other denominational churches; for
the valued services of the Moderator who has
presided over the sessions and served on one
of its most important committees With con-
summate ability; for the pleasing services of
the church quartette, choir and orgamst; for
the favor of the Consolidated railroad. an
also for the courtesysxtended to the members
of our body by the orwalk Club.

A company has recently been

into practical working
shape a novel plum tor the transporta-
tion of passengers and freight in
pneumatic tubes. The line consists
of a pneumatic tube large enough to
take a car 40 inches in diameter and
about 0} feet loug.‘ This car is di-
vided into three compartments, each
of which will accommodate a passen-
ger. Each compartment is to contain
an apparatus filled with compressed
air, so that passengers can have an
ample supply of pure air as long as
they remain boxed up.
This car is to be shot through the
tube at a high rate of speed, but with
a gentle. adding motion.
One of the foreign papers, in refer-
ring to this railroad, remarks: “ Trav-
elfers will be allowed a limited
amount of baggage, but smpking
will be strictly prohibited." An on;
