At Last, Rest.
The light and life that went out from
President Harrison’s heart-and home in
the final passing away of his noble
and estimable wife, finds rest and sepul-
chre today for the poor body in the
home garden of the dead at Indianapo-
lis. .The funeral ceremonies yesterday
in the East Room at the White House,
were made as simple as the prominence
of the afflicted ones would decorously
permit, and yet they were deeply sol-
emn and impressive. Vice President
Morton and Secretary of State Foster,
led the official |pall bearers, and the
President followed the casket with his
daughter, Mrs. McKee, leaning on his
arm to the carriage which was to hear
them to the special train bound for
their old and oncehappy home in In-
diana.
The Closing Campaign.
There may be a temporary lull of ac-
tivity along the political lines, but the ,
momentum of the campaign is nearing
its culminating point, and the sorrow-
ful calamity that has befallen one of its
distinguished leaders cannot greatly
stay it. In the very nature of things,
the evolution of the contest must be
wrought out as though no episode had
occurred to divert men’s thoughts from
their eager pursuit and chill its ardor.
, May we not hope, however, that
while the mighty struggle goes on,
which involves the determination of
the Presidential choice of many mil-
lions of freemen, the bitterness of its
asperities may be somewhat assuaged
and its ruder phases assume more gen-
tle front in the presence of a visitation
that, without entering into the contro-
versy as a factor, is nevertheless of such-
tonching and tender nature that it ap-
peals to the sympathies of all and in-
vokes their antagonisms, if not to
reconciliation, at least to honorable
and impersonal warfare? says the
Washington Post. ‘
The campaign thus far, though ‘not
wholly devoid of unbecoming and re-
pellent features, has been for the most
part conducted with decency and fair-
ness. It has its rough edges, it charges
and counter-charges, its criminations
and re-criminations, its vicious and
vindictive incidents, for war in any
form is largely a thing of force instead
of sentiment, but considering the issues
oat stake, the results involved, the vast
numbers engaged, it is a campaign that
only a free, intelligent, patriotic peo-
ple could carry on—a people of whom
it is not too much to expect that they
will exhibit a still larger sense of pro-
priety and self-restraint under the shad—
ow that has crossed their path.

Not Surprised.
The “surprise” given Mrs. W. A.
Olmstead on Wednesday evening was
not so much of a “surprise” after all.
It seems that the parties having the
“surprise” in charge went to DeKlyn’s
and ordered severa quarts of ice cream
sent to Mrs. Olmstead’s, but explicitly
charging that it should not be deliv-
ered until a certain hour in the even-
ing._ Unfortunately it was delivered
during the afternoon. Mrs. Olmstead
insisted that she had ordered no cream
but the boy was equally as sure that
he had made no mistake, and finally
. blurted out, “I know it is for yon, for
there is to be a surprise party here to-
night.” Mrs. Olmstead then took the
cream and awaited the arrival-of the
“surprisers” later in the evening.
Burglars Tools in a Bible.
While in Danbury jail McKay, one
of the men who recently stole six gold
chalices from a Catholic church in
Danbury, wrote a letter to New York.
It was not opened, but the officials
watched for the answer. It was no-
ticed that McKay was disconcerted
upon being transferred to the Bridge-
port jail before receiving the answer
to his message. The answer came yes-
terday and was in the shape of a bible.
Upon examination, the bible was found
to contain one of the finest kit of tools
to be found in the country. Had they
found their way .into McKay’s hands
while he was in Danbur
his pal would undoubte ly be at lib-
erty, for they would cut their way
through the strongest iron bar in the
jail in that city.

The Danbury and Norwalk Rail
Road Leased to thefion-

The Vote Unanimous.
The annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the Danbury & Norwalk Railroad
company for the election of a board of
directors and to act upon the matter of
leasing the road for a term of ninety-
nine years to the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad, was held
at the Norwalk passenger station of the
. road at 3 o’clock, yesterday ,afternoon.
The attendance being so. large an ad-
journment to the rooms of the Fairfield
County bank was made.
The following board of directors were
elected: - -
F. St. John Lockwood, Norwalk ;
Eben Hill, South Norwalk; Charles L.
Rockwell, Meriden ; Edmund Tweedy,
Charles H. Merritt, Danbury; Charles
P. Clark, E. H. Trowbridge, Benjamin
B. Engish. George 1. Brush, New
Haven ; William B. E. Lockwood,
Stephen H. Smith, John P. Treadwell,
Lewis C. Green. James T. Hubbell;
Norwalk.
In the matter of leasing the road to
the Consolidated, 5,916 shares were
voted upon all of which were in favor
of the lease, and it was unanimously
ratified.
After the stockholders meeting a
meeting of the directors was held and
the following officers were unanimously
elected:
President, F. St. John Lockwood.
Vice President, Eben Hill.
Secretary and Treas. , C. E. Robinson.
Registrar, Lewis C. Green.
By the terms of the lease the Consoli-
dated road obtains control for ninety-
nine years of the Danbury and N orwalk
road and all its branches, real estate,
water rights, and personal property of
every name and nature and wherever
situated, and all of its rights. fran-
chises and priviliges from the 2d day of
July 1892, the Consolidated road agree-
ing to pay during each year of said
term of ninety-nine years, all :taxes,
rates, charges and assessments, ordi.
nary and extraordinary, which may be
lawfully imposed or assessed and also
agreeing to pay a sum equal to one
ddlar and twenty-five cents upon each
share of the capital stock of the road,
on the last days of the months of De-
cember and June during said term, it
being understood-that the value of the
rolling stock, equipments. miféliinery,
tools, etc. , is $117,345.
Found Not Guilty.
On or about Aug. 24th, J amcs Price,
of ice cream and restaurant fame, sold
a horse to Chester Lamar, of all kinds h
of fame. The price agreed upon was
$30, the same to be paid on the install-
ment plan. Lamar paid some $18 to
Price, and then the payments ceased.
Lamar also purchased a new harness
valued at 75 cents and a wagon at $1.50
of the same party. All of which he sold.
Failing to get any more money from
Lamar, Price swore out a warrant al-
leging theft and Lamar was arrested.
Last evening the case was heard before
Justice Austin, Attorney Walsh appear-
ing for the State and Lamar in his own
defense. The court room was crowded
with the colored friends of both parties,
and the trial was full of laughable situ-
ations. Lamar admitted that he still
owed Price $6, but added that Price
owed him $10 for the use of the horse,
nevertheless he had been willing to pay
Price the $6 for charity sake had he
come and asked for it like a gentleman,
as he had the money in his pocket to pa
it. He had helped Price and was wil -
ing to do so again. Lamar’s defense of
himself was in its way a splendid at-
tempt at rhetoric and argument, he
showing to the best of his ability that
he was more sinned against than sinning.
Evidently the Justice agreed with him
as he found him not guilty and ordered
his discharge.
A New King of Stallions.
At Stockton. Cal., esterday, Stam-
boul lowered the worl ’s stallion record,
trotting a mile in 2:08; and beating
Palo .Alto’s record one-quarter of a sec-
ond. He made the first quarter in 30%
seconds, repeated this time on the next
quarter. going to the half in 1:01; and
to the three-quarters in 1:35. The stal-
lion went on strong and game in the
face of a brisk breeze, finishing in 2:08;
Walter Maben. who drove the stallion,
was the recipient of vociferous congrat-
ulations as he drew up before the judges’
stand at the end of the trial. Despite a
strong wind Stamboul never skipped or
faltered in the task cut out for him,
which was to lower the record of Palo
Alto. 2:083}, the previous best record ex-
tant for a stallion in a race against time.
The last quarter, ii; 33% seconds, is con-
sidered a good performance, even over
a kite shaped track.
Stamboul was bred by Mr. L. J. Rose,
of Los Angeles, Cal., and sold three
years ago for $50,000 to Mr. W. S. Ho-
art, of San Mateo, Cal., to whose es-
tate he now belongs. Mr. Hobart hav-
ing died Stamboul and the entire trot-
ting stud, which among the brood mares
includes the dam Nancy Hanks; will
shortly be shipped East and sold under
the hammer.

yesterday afternoon. While Wielding
is pick axe, it slipped and struck his
right foot, passing through it at the
instep. The poor fellow pulled the'
blade out and suffering with pain hob-
bled to the nearest doctor.who dressed
the wound. It is likely that it will be
some time before the man will be able
to resume work. ~

Their iaea of Pensions.
The Durham, N. C., Globe says:
“Some of the northern papers are
howling about the positive fact that
Grover Cleveland hired a cheap man
to represent him when the north pil-
laged and plundered and burned and
i-avished the south. Theriaueould not
be a better recommendation. The
scamps at the north who went into the
war went in for fourteen dollars a
month. with the explicit understanding
that they could and should steal all
that was in sight. Grover Cleveland
knew that the country would need his
services in .1884 and again in 1892 and
he did not propose to have his body .
filled with northern lead in order to
give a Yankee the chance to pick his
pocket after he had been killed. He
simply did a good business Job, as he
did when he slapped the dirty beggars
called pensioners in the face.”
Still After Gormley.
The Long Island City authorities
have not given up all hope of securing .
Peter Gormley, of Meriden, as a witness
in the Cochland—Higgins murder: trial.
Judge Davis won a victory at the hear-
ing before State Attorney Doolittle to
whom the matter of granting requisi- .
tion papers allowing Gormley to be ta-
ken from Connecticut as a witness was
referred by Governor Bulkeley. The
state attorne ’s finding just rendered
is that Gorm e r cannot be compelled to
go.
Being blocked in that effort the Long
Island Cit authorities sent Attorney
John F. F eming of Jamacia to Meri-
den the early part of this week to try
and influence Thomas King in whose
emplo Gormley is at the Malleable
Iron 8 op to advise Gormley to go to
Long Island City of his own accord. ‘
Such action Mr. King refused to take.
Attorney Fleming tried all manner
of persuasion on Mr. Kgng pronouncing
him a law abiding citizen, etc. ' The
game not working Attorney Flemlng
ually produced . papers implicating
Gormle in the crime for which Coch-
land an Higgins are held. '
Mr. King laughed at this and referred
Attorney Fleming to Governor Bulke-
o
ley again. The attorney left with the.
promise to getGorniley ifhe remained
ontop of the earth. ' T "
