The Heat.
' With all the intense heat of yester-
day and the past four days, it is consol-

‘ ing indeed to know that the weather

bureau has finally got wind of an ap-
proaching cool wave, and that almost
to a certainty there will be a “ let up”
on the extraordinary heated spell to-
night.

Michigan’s Electoral Vote.

The" Supreme Court of Michigan has
decided that the act of the Legislature
of that State providing that the vote in
the Electoral College should be cast
and counted as every district respec-
tively decided is unconstitutional. In
other words, Michigan, like all the
other States of the Union, must vote
as a unit in the Electoral College and
the majority must control. The Su-
preme Court of the State'has saved
that commonwealth from the electoral
anarchy into which a lot of reckless
politicians sought to plunge it. »

 

 

 

Down With Anarchy!

The probability that the attempt to
assassinate H. C. Frick was the out.
some of a deliberately planned Anarch-
ist conspiracy grows stronger daily.
The police should not relax their efforts
until all the details of the plot are fer-
reted out and every one of. the villians
concerned in it is in the hands of the
law. It is society, government and or-
der which the depraved and malignant
Anarchists are warring against. They
should be taught that the forces of
order are too powerful for them to as-
sail. The wretches that plot murder
and preach dynamite must be hunted
down.

 

 

The Phelan Case.

The decision of Judge Hall, in the
Phelan-Walsh case, takes up the mat-
ter of the Westport and Weston bal-
lots,which were originally printed with-

‘out the name of any candidate for

Judge of Probate upon them, but
when cast and counted, all bore the
name of a candidate for Judge of Pro-
bate either written with ink or pasted
with a printed paster in the space under
the words “Judge of Probate.” In
Westport there were 342 of these bal-
lots and in Weston 60, a total of 402.
Of these ballots Judge Hall says: “It
said ballots are illegal and void under
the law, then I find that they should
have been rejected, and should now be
deducted from the total vote of said
Phelan for Secretary.” ,

This decision again raises the ques-
tion of the validity of Senator Sey-
mour’s election in this District. The
Senator was seated by a plurality of
249, but, if the 402 ballots of Westport
and Weston, on which Mr. Seymour
'was declared elected are illegal, then
Mr. Seymour lacks 153 votes of a plu-
rality, and the seat now occupied by
him in the Senate rightfully belongs to
his republican opponent, Rodgers.

 

Coal to Co No Higher.

The western coal sales agents held a
meeting in New York, yesterday but
made no advance in prices for August.
The eastern sales agents took the same
action and fixed the production for Au-
gust at 3,000,000 tons, which is the
same as August, 1891, and 500,000 tons
less than the production for the pres-
ent month. - . -

M Inus 'sl 1 7,000.
Samuel Elliott, a New Haven harness

' maker, appeared before the public ex-

aminers one day this week to be exam-
ined for a disability while serving in
the navy in the Florida war of 1842,
and from which service he was .dis-
charged a year later. The examina~

, tion yesterday and the evidence brought

before the board was sufficient to show
that Mr. Elliott was entitled to a pen-
sion 49 years ago, when he should have
received $100 a month. _ He therefore
may be said to have missed receivmg
the sum which, with interest, would
now amount to about $17,000, which
sum cannot be collected now: Accord-
ing to the evidence, Mr. Elhott should
have long ago applied for a pension,
and he would have obtained it‘without
question—New London Telegraph.

 

Sandwich Tooth Extractor.

The weather bein so hot yesterday
noon Conductor ould Hoyt of the
horse railway has concluded that he
would not go home to dinner. Feeling
a sort of goneness he went into the Ho-
tel de Meseberg and purchased a sand-
chh.. As he was engaged in mastica-
ting it his teeth struck a substance
somewhat harger than the sandwich,
and not caring . o lose a mouthful of the
same, he gut his fingers to his mouth

the substance'to consist of a
tooth. He was aboutto throw it away
when it occurred to him that the tooth
had a familiar look, and again putting
his fingers in hismouth he_ finally dis-
covered that his jaw was minus another
tooth, and it was the one he held. in his
hand. On the score of economy, if ever
hereafter he has a toothache he Will, in-
stead of gomg to a dentist, purchase a
Sandwich like unto the one which, he
ate }yesterday. He speaks of it as'sand-
Wic witchery.|

O

A man met a Gaznrrn reporter this
morning, :and unblushingly told him
that while at Broad River yesterday,
he saw a cock of hay set afire from the
sun’s rays, and that it was only by the
prompt action :0f the owner that the
Whole field was not burned up. _ The
man is evidently trying to establish .a
reputation of being a red hot liar. His
name is Dana Bissell. .

 

Mr. George H. Barrett had a narrow
escape from being shot last evening.
He was sitting on the back stoop of his
house on Academy street, when he saw
the flash 'of a gun, and immediately
after a bullet Whizzed by, dangerously
close to him, cutting through t 8 bush-
es. and imbedding itself in a tree.
Such litineless shooting is reprehensi-
ble, a . the gunner should be more
careful in the future.

man at the Capitol.

Frank Kiedel. aged 18, employed in
Rev. John C. Collins’ office, to assist

way for a long time, as many stamps
have been missed.

After the performance given by the

Hon. A. Homer Byington, editor of
the Noawamr GAZETTE, was sixty-six
years old last Saturday. As Mr. By-
ington is one of the best as well as one
of the oldest editors in Connecticut,
the press of the State has every reason
to be proud of him. May he live to
round out a century of big-hearted, un-
selfish usefulness. —Ansonia Sentinel.

A committee representing the differ-

Mr. Tuck of Broad River attracted
considerable attention on Horse Rail-
way place this morning, mounted on a
black char er. P. H. Dwyer fitted a
saddle to t 0 animal when Mr. Tuck
vaulted on to it. Feeling the rider on
his back the horse reared up and threat-r
ened throwing the driver, refusing -,.to
go ahead, but dancing around in a cir-
cle. The rider manfully clung on, and
finally the animal went up High street
as if shot out of a cannon. Onlookers
were disappointed in their expectancy
of seeing the rider thrown and serious-
ly injured.

Overcome by the Heat. '

Mrs. Bridget Hand died at her home
on Leonard street, last evenin , aged
62 years. Yesterday mornin s e was
on the street, apparently in or usual
health. In the afternoon her sister,
Maria Daley, who is emplo ed at Ike
Lee’s boarding house, cal ed on her
and found her complainin of not feel-
ing very well. She made er a cup of
tea and then returned to her work.
leaving word with a nei hbor to see if
she grew any worse and et her know;
During the evening, Miss Dailey had a
premontion that . her sister must be
worse, and hurried to the house only
to find her in an unconscious condition.
Dr. Hitchcock Was summoned but the
woman was past all earthly relief, and
died about 10 o’clock. Rev. Father Du-
gait was ,also present. The deceased
was well known here. Her husband
died about twenty years ago. The
cause of her death was being overcome
by the extreme heat of the past few
days. This is,we believe, the first fatal

The Thermometers’ Story.

Nearly every one in town is com.
plaining of the heat. And it is quite
warm. In fact such has been the con-
dition of things during the entire week,
A fact we all are all aware of. But how
warm is it to-day ? A GAZETTE reporter
took a stroll about the business per-
tions of the borough this morning, and
found the thermometers registering as
follows: Norwalk Hotel, 92; Newsman
Benedict, 87; Druggist Gregor , 92;
Druggist Hale, 100; Newsman ayes,
92; Finney & Benedict, 88; Charles
Glover, 93; Tully & Sheehan, 92 ;
Druggist Rig s (burstedb yesterday’s
heat); S. H. olmes, 92; rank Curtis,
98; W. DeKlyn, 91; Ed. Fitch, 85;
(he had his on his head.) Undertaker
George Raymond (over- the safe), 82;
F. Bailwitz, 88; John Collins, 91 ; Un-
dertaker Jennings, 86. They will no
doubt do better before three o’clock.
However acold wave is on the way and
will probably reach here befbre morn-
ing and be accorded a warm reception.

The Consolidated.
The latest up to date is that the Con-

solidated road, in view of .the fact that
It. has acquired the Providence road,
with the Providence and Stonington
line of steamers as part of that enor-
mous property, had in mind apparently
soon to absorb all the freight and pas-
senger traffic in the lower part of New
England.

It is well known that a large amount
of freight comes down from all points
north of Hartford and is" thence carried
to New York on by the Transporta-
tion company. _ his freight, accord-
ing to the story in question, is destined
one of these days to be shipped through
to Sa brook Pornt and from that point
plac on steamers owned b the Con-
solidated road and carried to ew York.

Officials of the Consolidated road are
not aware of having any such project
as the above in view.

for a handsome new building which is
to be used for freight offices. The

Fine Luck.

Messrs. Hiram Davis, David Lock-
wood Wm. Wardwell and Henry Lew-
is, fishermen,and Wm. Mitchell, guide,
went to Trinity lake yesterday, and
they evidently took the right kind of
bait With them, as they brought home
as handsome a lot of fish as one ever
sees. They numbered 37 counting the
men who caught them. The weight
was not furnished the reporter. only to
the extent that several of them weighed
five ounds. They consisted of bass,
perc and pickere .

. An .ltalian Killed.

An accident occurred at Round Hill

near Shelton. on the Housatonic exten-
81011 yesterday. Two Italians while
working on a gravel train,were thrown
off by the, train suddenly starting up.
Both fell under the wheels. One of the
Italians was instantly killed. His name
is Pasquale Savarese. The other Ital-
ian, Salvator, DeQuestra, was terribly
injured. _His left hand was cut ofi‘ at
the wrist and he was badly out about
the limbs and body. He was taken to
the hospital in New Haven. ~

 

 

 

The Meriden Strike.

Excitement ran high in Meriden
again yesterday. The street car strik-
ers held a meeting during the da , at
which a committeewas appoint to
act as_ pickets. The dut of these pick-
ets will be to note al storekeepers,
merchants and others who ride on the
cars as long as they are run by non-
union men. ~

The name of every person Will be
taken and reported to the authorities
of the union. About a dozen names of
merchants who were seen on the cars
yesterday were reported.

Last night one of them presented
himself at the strikers’ headquarters
and expressed his willin ness to make
amends for the error of is ways. His
name was scratched off the list.

The directors of the road also held a
meeting but could devise no satisfac.
tory means of reconciliation ‘with the
men. They refuse to take back Driver
Grady. ,

T.“ H. Kehoe, secretary and treasurer
of district assembly, No. 95, visited the
strikers. He said he thought every-'
thing would be satisfactory if Superin-
tendent West and his son were dis-
charged. Later he left for New Haven
for the purpose of notifying the execu-
tive committee to meet in secret ses-
sion to-day.

A Newtown Sensation.

There is considerable sensation in
Newtown over the arrest of Charles
Glover, son of Deputy Sheriff Wm. B.
Glover, on the chargebf rape. The
complainant in the case is a servant em-
ployed in a Newtown famil . Her
name is Margaret Roach an she is
about forty years of age. She alleges
that the rape was committed on July
10th. Glover was given ahearing be-
fore a Newtownjustice yesterday morn-
ing. Probable cause was found and he
was bound over under bonds of $1,500
for trial at the next term of the supe-
rior court.

 

Chemical Works Blow Up.

The Crane chemical works at Spring-
field, N. J ., blew up at about 8 o’clock
last night. The shock was tremendous
the vibrations being plainly felt four
miles from the scene. It was thought
to be an earthquake. At Milburn, a
mile and a half from the works, win-
dows were shattered, crockery was
thrown from the shelves and the large
colored bottles in a drug store tumbled
down and were smashed. The people
were thrown into consternation and
rushed from their homes into open
fields. The Crane chemical works con-
sisted of a number of brick and wood-
en buildings. There are not more than
six houses in the immediate vicinity
and these were occupied by employees.
The company manufactured varnishes
and-lacquer and carried an immense
stock of oil and chemicals. When the
explosion took place building after
building was shaken to pieces. The em-
ployees’ houses fell about the heads of
the inmates. At first it was thought
many had been injured, but there was
probably only one fatality. A negro
fireman is the only one missing. The
ruins burst into flames and the citizens
of Springfield and Milburn hastened to
the scene and put out the fire.

Litigous Mr. Corbin.

To-day will see another turn in the
complications in which the New York
& New England, Housatonic, and Lou
Island railroads and the New Englan
Terminal Co. are involved, which will
further add to the present uncomforta-
ble situation of the companies named,
says the Farmer. The Housatonic and
New York & . New England Railroad
companies Will be made defendants,
and their properties attached in a suit
for $200 000 to be instituted by the
Long Island ' ilroad company. ,

Austin Corbin thinks that his com-
pany has been injured to the amount
named by the suspension and threat-
ened rupture of the traffic agreement
With the New England Terminal Co.
and the Housatonic and New York 8:
New _ En land railroads. President
Corbin a rms that the Long Island
railroad company enteiged‘in the rec-
m'ent‘in perfect good faith and on af-
ter most promising prospects an, as-
surances had been held- out to him by
the defendant companies. Binding
agreements were signed and the Long
Island railroad company intend to

B
Yori & New England companies, Presi-
dent Corbin will have covered the field
pretty thoroughly. The most valuable
of the floating property of the New

under attachment in a suit against that
company by the Long Island company.
If there are any other corporations or
parties who ma be reached President
Corbin is just t e man to throw a legal
net around them also. Taken altogeth-
er enough litigation is already under
way to insure fat fees for lawyers and
keepcourts busy for some time to come.

It is more than likely that the desire
of Messrs. Morgan and Rockefeller to
throw the Housatonic railroad into the
handsof a receiver was due to a pre-
monition that the Long Island com-
pany would, take just such action as
that which they will institute to-day.
It is to forestall any attempt to place
the Housatonic company property be-
yond reach that President Corbin in-
tends taking such action. ,

 

 

—Be Distinctive.

One of the secrets‘of success in busi-
ness, quite as much as in literature,
politics, or social life, is to be a little
difi‘erent from anybody else; to avoid
the commonplace and to fill some spe-
cial niche in the life of the day.

A great store should have an individ-
uality of its own, something to distin-
guish it from its neighbor across the
street or around the lock.

That was a shrewd criticism which a
traveler passed upon the stores of acer-
tain town when he said its business
might well swap stores over night and
not know the difference in the morning.

A distinctive feature of the great
store of W. B. Hall & 00., of Bridge-
port, is their dressmaking department.
By perseverance and foresight they
have made this department of their
business a telling success and a necessi-
ty to the ladies of Bridgeport. .

As a prominent lady expressed it the
other da : “ We would much rather
trade in ridgeport than go to New
York.” The past two seasons have wit-
nessed reat owth in dressmaking
with W. . Ha & 00., for the reason
that they have supplied the want long
felt by society here for a high grade of
goods of exclusive design._ . his was
accomplished by opening relations With
the lar est and most exclusive Paris
house, essrs. Raimore & 09., who con-
trol the best and newestdesigns, havmg
dealings with Worth and other celebra-
ted Paris dressmakers. _

Messrs. Hall & 00. have just closed
their dressmaking parlors for a few
weeks, having completed a ‘most suc-
cessful season, the second since their
new departure of importing direct, and
to-day Mrs. Connor sails for Europe to
buy extensively for them such goods as
Paris alone offers to exquisite and cul-
tivated taste. , ‘

wi or range of fabrics than. heretofore
