It may be a little early to adjust a cabinet slate but where can a better or more thoroughly equipped man for Secretary of the Treasury be found than in Connecticut’s Presidential Elector and Banker, E. C. Benedict of ' Greenwich? Mr. Benedict is an able and has been a proverbably successful financier and his selection would add lustre to the new administration as well as give pleasure to his hosts of Connecticut and New York friends. He is a son of the late Rev. Henry Benedict who for so many years was pastor of Norwalk’s First Congrega- tional church. Eminent Citizens. Norwdlk in all her history, has ever been affluent in the number and emi- nent character of her distinguished citi. zens. From old colonial days, with Governor Thomas Fitch and his not less valiant son, Colonel Thomas Fitch, who commanded the brigade of Con- necticut troops in the battle at Sara- toga, resulting in the surrender of the British General Burgoyne and his army, the ashes of both of whom lie sepulchred in the East Norwalk ceme- tery, the fame of Norwalk’s sons cemes down to the more modern era of the elder Shermans, whose sons distin- tinguished in field and forum fill the pages of the world’s history with the recorded eminence of their deeds. Then comes a long line of distin- guished residents in the persons of U.. S. Senator Thaddeus Betts, Judge and Governor Clark Bissell, Judge Thomas B. Butler, Judge Sidney B. Beardsley, General and U. S. Senator Orris S. Ferry, Doctor and Professor Knight, with a score and more eminent in the- ology, law, medicine, art and inven- tion, till at the present we hail with highest appreciation as a resident and as now our most eminent citizen, Major General Darius N. Couch. In the Bridgeport Farmer we find a substan- tial repetition of his biography which has already appeared in years gone by, in the columns of the GAZETTE, but which, nevertheless, we are glad to re- publish, because of a recent political event giving it an exceptional present interest. The Farmer says: “Major General Darius N. Couch, a candidate for Representative, is seventh in the line of descent from Simon Couch, who was made a freeman in Fairfield, October 13th, 1664. The General was born in Putnam county, New York, and graduated as a brevet Second Lieutenant of the 4th Artillery in 1846. The United States was at the time fighting in Mexico. and our young officer was ordered to 10m Gen. Wool who had an army operating in that country. At the battle of Buena Vista, Feb. 22,-23, 1847, Lieut. Couch gained a brevet for gallant conduct in that sanguinary contest. Subsequently he served in the Seminole Indian troubles in Florida, where his promptness in sailing up the coast to protect the set- tlers, gained the approbation of the Secretary of War. At the breaking out of the rebellion, Col. Couch raised the 7th Massachusetts volunteers which he conducted to Washington, where he was appointed a Brigadier _ General by President Lincoln, and a Maj or Gener- al the next year. During the four try- ing years of that war the General’s rec. 0rd is that of the soldier and patriot, as attested by the, conspicuous Services which he rendered to his country. He was Quartermaster General under Gov. R. D. Hubbard, and Adjt.-General un- der Gov. T. M. Waller. ‘- "There ought to be the greatest ef- fort to send the General to the House. N orwalk has seldom been heard from in that body, and in comparison with ‘either of the Republican nominees he is out of sight ahead of them. Our en- terprismg neighbor town would soon feelthe effect of his election in the con- sideration that would be cheerfully ac- corded to it by reason of his eminence and his ability. The next representa- tives from Norwalk must be Demo- crats.” . The Farmer’s earnest injunction that there ought to be the greatest effort made here to send the General to the House, seems to have fallen upon the deaf ears of its Democratic partisans, for somehow the Genera‘l’s conspicu- ously diminished vote, so far below that of the Cleveland electors, was not cred- itable either to the Democratic party or toNorwalk, Cleveland’s votewas 1,974 and Gen- eral Couch’s, 1,937, showing a cut of thirty-seven votes. How is this to be accounted for ? General Couch, in his social position and character, his up- rightness of life and genial, winning, gentlemauly ways, is the peer of any man. He stands out, moreovor, pre- eminently as Norwalk’s most noted and illustrious citizen. Why, then, does his vote reveal a deliberate purpose on the part of certain of his .own party to “ knife ” him ? Is not the painful and humiliating fact stated in the Gazn'rfii of October 24th,.-in these words: For representatiie the Republicans have put in nomination Mr. E. O. Keel- er, one of our foremost,vwide-awake, enterprising and successfqu business men. Against him'the Democrats have placed their best possible candidate in "the person ofthe venerable .and patri, otic Gen. *- Couch. But good “citizen, grapd'old man that he is and brave sol- dier as he was in the war against re- bellion, his are not the wmning quali- ties to enthuse the rank and file_ of his party followers. His army service and the fact that he was a'_. corps command- er,“ are things of the distant past , a new generation has grown up Since his con- spicuous service for the Union at Get- tysburg; nor is it certain, that all the .“ old hnnkers ”- of his party will esteem him any the higher for his distinguish- ed military service, put forth to destroy what they deemed, their political friends and allies of the South.

Court of Burgesses. An adjourned meeting of the Court of Burgesses was held last night, War- den Kimmey and the full board being present. , The following bllls were ordered paid: Special water committee, $16.50; CQN. Wood, 834.50; H. E. Dann. $32; J. A. Pidneo,85.74; John H. Hoyt, $37.50; Town New Canaan. taxes, $12. ' A requisition was presented from the Water Commissioners for $2.550 for the cost of new water main on Main street, and for $1,600 for the new water pipe between the two mills at Winnipauk. It was explained. that iliis was the full appropriation. A messenger was sent for the chairman ofthe water commissioners, Frederick Mead. The contractor William Shel- Court and explained that the work at Winnipauk had not yet been com- pleted, furthermore. that he did not want his pay on. either contract until both were finished. . Mr. Mead came in and said he did not yet know as to the exact amount of the contract, and stated that the commissioners were not in pressing need of the money as the water rents were being collected which would give them money for their present needs. Did not know why the requisition had been presen- ted unless it was to have the money iii readiness when called for by the con- tractor. The matter was then laid over until the next regular meeting of the Court. , The petition of James Kearney and- wife‘to erect frame building on Bel- den avenue, with adjoining property owners consent attached, was granted. Collector Kemp presented the names of a number of taxpayers who asked for abatement of their taxes for var- ious reasons. It was the sense of the Court that it had no legal power to grant such abatement without a thor- ough investigation in the matter, and the Warden was instructed to appoint a;committee and report at the next regular meeting of the Court. The Warden appointed the full Court as such committee. The report of the special committee appointed at a borough meeting to make investigations in the matter of a new storage reservoir was read by the clerk, and laid on the table until the next regular meeting for" action. Burgess Squires asked for a profile map for the proposed sewer on the Connecticut turnpike. He was in- structed to order such map and get bids for the construction of the sewer. The matter of crosswalks on Belden and Wilton avenues, was brought be- remake Court but no special action In this con- nection Contractor Sheldon who lives on the latter avenue, said he thought it would be foolish to place crosswalks on that avenue before sidewalks had been laid. 'H'e was ready to put down sidewalk in front of his place and would do so as soon as ten feet of walk had been laid on any part of the ave- nu . William Sheldon was appointed. in- spector of the paving of 'Main street. at a salary of $4 per day. for each day when actually employed. The matter of crosswalk at the cor- ner of Wall and Main streets-was dis- cussed but no action was taken. The Court then adjourned to Mon- dayevening, Nov. 14th. Railroad News. The New York & New England road has appealed from the decision of the Superior Court against ordering a man- damus, requiring the Asylum street - bridge commission to re- open the ques- tion of the apportionment of costs for the Asylum street changes in Hartford. The case will be heard before the Sn- preme Court in January. The legal fight for the possession of the Meriden & Waterbury road, which resulted in the adjournment of l‘ues- day’s meeting without ratifying the lease to the New England railroad, is attracting much attention in the two cities. It is generally believed that if at the hearing on the complaint of the New York It New England stockhold- ers, the judge refuses to allow the New England to lease the road, then the Consolidated will pounce upon the road. The New England management wants the road and will move all powers to get it in spite of powerful rivals. The New England road , offers the Meriden, Waterbury & Cromwell railroad stock- holders $22, 000 per annum for 99 years. 4A; er Catarrh. Not Local, But Constitu- tlonai. Dr. Dio Lewis, the eminent Boston physician, in a magazine article says: “A radical error underlies nearl all medical treatment of catarrh. t is not a disease of the man’s nose; it is a disease of the man, showing itself in the nose—a Local exhibition of a Con- stitutional trouble.” Therefore, he ar- gues, the use of snufi‘ and other local applications is wrong, and while they seem to give temporary relief, they really do more harm than good. Other leading authorities agree with Dr. LerS. Hence, the only proper method of cure for catarrh is by taking a con- stitutional remedy like Hood’s Sarsa- aprilla, which, reaching every part of the body through the blood, does eli- minate all impurities and makes the whole man healthier. It removes the cause of the trouble and restores the diseased membrane to proper condi- tion.- That this is the practical result is proven by thousands of people who have been cured of catarrh by taking Hood’s Sarsadarilla.

Marriage Bells- At the residence of the bride’s father, Frederic R. Coudert, N o 13 East Forty- fifth street, New York, Miss Virginie Coudert was married at 4 o’clock yes- terday afternoon, to Frederick Hart Benedict, son of E. C. Benedict, of Greenwich. The ceremony was performed by Archbishop Corrigan. who made a most impressive and appropriate address to the young couple. Among the many prominent guests present were Mr. and Mrs. Grover Cleveland. Mrs. Cleve- land wore blue silk and bonnet. The presents were numerous, and the silver made a very attractive dis- play. One of tho most unique gifts was a handsome hall clock to the bride from Grover Cleveland. It is said to be very ancient and to have been in the Cleveland family for many years. _ w The Vote Canvassed. The ballots in the box at James M. Creagh’s store, on Main street, were canvassed last night by three “honest young men.” There;was quite a crowd of anxious onlookers. There was some- thing less than 1,500 ballots in the Sen- atorial box. The guess of John Fair- child of 225 majority for John H. Fer- ris was the nearest to the actual major- 1i‘l/‘iy, and he was awarded the prize. r. Fairchild is visiting mine host Wells, in Bridgeport. and when he hears of his luck will prboably be more anxious than ever to Oct back to town. The vote for President in this state was also canvassed but the prize will not be awarded until the ma'ority is more definitely known. Con. ngel thinks that his guess of 4,510 will Win, but others think differently.
