Fought 3. Draw.
A prize fight took place in a hall at
State and Chapel streets, New Haven,
last night, between Johnny Hig ms of
that city and Eugene Hornbac er. of
Brooklyn. The purse was $100 a aide
and .the gate receipts. The spectators
were mostly Yale students. _
After three hard fought rounds in
which the principals were terribly pun-
ished, the fight was declared a draw.
The purse an receipts were equally di
vided between the two men. .

Yale is P'rosperinz.
To the regular call meeting of Yale
corporation held in New Haven Treas.
urer Farnam, of Yale, - submitted his
report for the fiscal year ending July
31, 1892. During that period the sum
of $473,447.59 was added to the different
funds.
The additions to the university funds
aggregated 160,467.45 $150,241.59 of
which was from the estate of the late
Daniel B. Fayerweather in the part
payment of the legacy. From the Rev.
C. Ray Palmer. of Bridgeport, Conn..
the sum of $5,000 was received to found
the “Alfred Barnes Palmer Scholarship
‘ Fund.” ‘
Additions to the theological funas as
follows; To the H. W. Allis fund, _ 34,
243.50 ; to found the Susan B. Dw1ght
Fellowship, $4,000; to found the W. H.

ment of part of the Fayerweather lega-
c .
yFor the Winchester Engineering
building, private and other subscrip-
tions amouted to $159,325 and for the
Yale Infirmary $35,398. _ .
Seventy-seven private subscriptions
were received, in amount $6,497.52, to

Divinity Hall. The Hon. Villiam 0.
Whitney, 1863, and others provided $1,
500 for the chair of Prof. W. G. Sum-
mer during his absence in Europe.
Too Much Money Used.
The Waterbury Republican has star-
ted a movement in favor of a corrupt
practice act in this state. It points out
the undeniable fact that too much mo-
ney is used in elections on both sides,
:and urges the legislature to adopt the
Massachusetts law with necessary
changes. That law compels candidates
and committees to file sworn statements
showing every cent expended and what
for ; it forbids levying assesments on
candidates, and makes it a crime for
candidates to promise money or office
in return for votes. The Republican
advises two changes; that candidates be
obliged to publish every item of ex-
pense and that their personal contribu-
tion be limited. ~ There is no doubt but
what such a law would be a blessing if
it could be made sufficiently strong.
In England a similar law approximate-
ly accomplishes its purpose.

The Drought and its Lesson.
The long drought is ended. The
rain of the last two days was just such
a rain as was needed to moisten the
earth and fill the streams and reser-
voirs.
And now that our streams and reser-
voirs are full let us not forget all about
this long and threatened drought and
defer all thought of a better water
supply for Norwalk until our reservoirs
. fail us again. The experience of the
last two years has been valuable in the
convincing argument it has furnished
against continued reliance upon our in-
adequate reservoirs.
A special Borough meeting has been
called for Monday afternoon next, to
consider and act upon the report of the
special committee appointed by the
Borough meeting held May 16, and it
is hoped that a full attendance of our
tax payers and residents will be pres-
ent and decide upon the best practical
method of giving us an- additional
svater supply. Whatever isdecided upon
will no doubt be costly, but it is not be-
yond ihe means of Norwalk, and the
quicker we realize that something
must be done the sooner we shall be in
a position, to defy the rerurience of a
drought. ‘ -

The Farmers’ Alliance.
The animal national convention of
the Farmers’ Alliance and Industrial
Union is now in session at Memphis,
Tenn. It is an important meeting——
perhaps the most important meeting
ever held by this body. It is the largest
farmers’ organization in the country.
Though originally non-political, it is
now practically identical with the Peo-
ple’s party. They have two Senators
of the United States, aiu‘vill probably
secure two or three more as a result of
the late election. They have nine mem-
bers of the present House of Repre-
sentatives, and may have more than
twice as many in the next House. Be-
sides, they have actually carried sever-
al states for their electoral ticket, and
came very near to victory in at least
half a doien others. .
This, it must be allowed, is a pretty
good showing of results for a partynot
yet two years old. The Prohibition
‘party has never got an electoral vote
nor elected a nicmber of Congress.
The old Greenback party had a few
members of Congress, but never a Vote
in the Electoral College. in fact, no
other new party in ihiity years has
done so well as this one, says the New
York Press.
it is natural that the lil’OC(.‘(-.(lllll"$ at

A Sweeping Victory.
The Republican defeat is the most
overwhelming that has been sustained
by any party, in an actually contested
Presidential election, since the collapse
of the old Whig part-y just forty years
ago. The vote of a state or two may
be transferred from one celumn to an-
other by the final returns, but the ques-
tion is no longer how many electoral
votes Mr. Cleveland will have, but
what will be left to Mr. Harrison.
Even Ohio and California are now
claimed by the Democrats.
The tide that has swept Ohio, Illinois
and Wisconsin into the Democratic col-
umn has been felt further West.
Of course this sweeping success car-
ries with it not only a majority in the
House of Representatives but slightly
reduced from the present, but the con-
trol of the Senate also. Thus for the
first time, since it came into power in
1860, the Republican party passes into
the place of a minority, with no power
or authority in any branch of the Gov-
ernment.
Of course a thousand and more rea-
sons are and will be assigned for this
overwhelming and unprecedented dis-
aster to the Republican party. One
places it on the ground of the force
bill; another the Herald’s demagogical
howl that if America didn’t abolish her
tarifi' and let goods made in England
enter free. then the skilled workmen of
England would flock over here and
under-bid our mill hands and thus
crowd them out of their high wage
earning places; others still, that it was
because the monster foreign and saloon
vote of the country was almost solidly
Democratic; still others that the Labor
Unions of the country were against the
Republicans and the“combines”of great
corporations and capitalists a menace
to the Nation’s toilers ; but by far the
greater number attribute this complete
overthrow of the G. O. P. to the wide
spread and irresistable hostility to pro-
tection and the desire to have the effects
of glittering free trade theories practi-
cally tested. A vast majority of the
Nation’s voters it is evident have been
made to believe that the McKinley bill
was designed to make the rich richer
and the poor poorer, and that hence-
forth the laws must be made to protect
the many and not the few. And if the
battle just closed and the victory won,
be not for the people, no one can deny
that it was by the people and that prac-
tically tells the whole story. It is true
that grave mistakes were made in the
Harrison canvass and at Minneapolis
as well. Great and good man as he is,
he possessed none of the magnetic
qualities which inspire earnest support
and enthusiasm in a popular canvass.
Earnest Republicans, however, _ did
everything that could be done to save
their party from defeat. It is easy to
kick a defeated leader as there is noth-
ing successful in politics but success.
Of one thing in the canvass the Democ-
racy have a right to feel proud and
should reCeive the grateful sense of ap-
preciaiiou of every‘ friend of President
Harrison. The canvass was in no sense
a personal one and it was conducted on
the part of the Democrats by an unpre-
cedented exemption from vituperation
and bitterness. The campaign, though
not wholly devoid of unbecoming and
repellent features, was for the most
part conducted with decency and fair-
ness. it had its rough edges. its
charges and counter-charges, its crimi-
nations 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 is-
sues at stake, the results involved, the
vast numbers engaged, it was a cam-
paign that only a free, intelligent, pa-
triotic people could carry on—a people
of whom it was not too much to expect
that they would exhibit a becoming
sense of propriety and self-restraint
under the domestic shadow that had
crossed Mr. Harrison’s path. That visi-
tation, without entering into the con-
troversy as a factor, was nevertheless
of such touching and tender nature that
it appealed to the sympathies of all and
invoked their antagonisms—if not to
reconciliation, at least to honorable and
impersonal warfare. The mighty strug-
gle which involved the Presidential
choice of many millions of freemen.
was carried on in the presence of that
sorrowful calamity that had befallen
our President, with an almost entire
freedom from accustomed asperities,
and assumed a decorous and gentle
front towards Mr. Harrison, unknown
to our presidential contests.
A good woman, a representative
American wife and mother, after long
suffering passed away in the very heat
of the campaign, wherein her husband
was standing for the highest ofice in
our nation. Profound sympathy went
out to the bereaved man. To'the credit
of the Democratic party, be it said,
General Harrison was not afterward
assailed or mocked at. This event, in-
deed, we believe was one of the most
important and significant factors of the
campaign. It lent it dignity. Princi-
ples, not men, became the issues. Cari-
caturists and vulgar humorists were
pushed aside. The American people de-
termined the contest on higher grounds
than petty personalities. Indeed, has
it been a noteworthy campaign.
Well, the great battle of 1892 is over
and it will stand out as one of the me- »
morable political revolutions of on;-
national history; It isapopular sweep

Obituary.
The funeral of a former South Nor-
walk lad. and afterward influential New
York and BrOoislyn (Jlter'u. was attend-
ed in the latter city on Friday evening
last. the interment liavingltaken place
in this town on the following day.
Theodore Chichester, from as long
ago as the days when be filled the posi-
tion of druggist’s clerk to his uncle,
John A. Weed, has been a man of
thorough principle. There are those
who remember the admirable youth’s
connection with said uncle and the
honor he did to his excellent schooling
in the establishmentbf that candid,
careful and competent relative. After
some years he left N orwalk and as-
sumed the responsible charge of the
large Stephen Whitney estate in New
York city. Here his character and tal-
ent have conspicuously asserted them-
selves. and the representatives of the
property have found that the manage-
ment of their heavy interests was com-
mitted to able hands, and have set a
high value upon his skillful services.
The deceased was a son of Henry Chi-
chester of South Norwalk. His mother.
who has long” survived her husband,and
is now in comfortable health at the
venerable age of'ninety-two, is the old-
est daughter of Stephen St. John, a
well-known former resident of Norwalk.
Her mother was a Betts, of one.
of the best known Wilton fam-
ilies. Her oldest brother, Ed-
ward, was a New York banker ;
her next'brother, Capt. Alanson, was a
prince among Hudson River command-
ers. Her brother Charles was a South-
.ern merchant, and Moses and J essup re.
mained in Norwalk. Her sisters were
and are the late Mrs. Thomas Merrill
Of France street. Mrs. L. M. Stevens of
Prospect Hill, and Mrs. Gould S. J en-
nings of Camp street. Of her children
Mrs. Brower and Theodore died within
a few days of each other. Those living
are Mrs. Col. Cunningham of South
Norwalk, the Misses Caroline and Myra
of Flax Hill, Mrs. Howard of Brook-
lvn, Mrs. Camp of New York, and Mrs.
Alfred Morehouse of Darien, to all of
whom the memory of their departed
brother is a legacy.
Mr. Chichester’s important position
in the office of the Whitney estate is
filled by his nephew, a young man of
signal” parts and promise, the son of his
sister, Mrs. Margaret Camp.

A Gruesome Rellc.
The scaffold upon which John Brown -
was hanged in Harper’s Ferry has ar-
rived at Washington for shipment 'to
the World’s Fair. The timbers are in
a good state of pieservation, though
they have served the purposes of a
porch to the residence of a son of the
man who built the scaffold. The' gal-
lows itself is a plain, substantial afl'air,
which would attract little attention
apart from its history. The timbers are
evidently pine, although they have been
painted over at some later period to
preserve them. The two uprights are
big beams six“ inches square, and the
crossbar is in proportion. Even the
screws with which it was put together
have been preserved. John Brown was
hanged on December 2, 1859.
The New Letter Boxes.
It is announced that the post-office
department will begin supplying the
new house letter boxes at the rate of
2,000 a day after the first of next month.
These boxes are to be introduced in all
the cities and towns having free de-
livery. will enable every householder
to mail his postal matter without cross-
ing his threshold, and to buy stamps
or stamped envelopes with equal facil-
ity by increasing his order, with the
money in the box. There are two com—
partments, the lower one for the re-
ception of letters or packagesto be de-
livered by the carrier, and the upper
one for the letters or packages which
the carrier is to collect—the act of
lifting the lid to place a letter or pack-
age inside displaying the word “mail”
as notice to the carrier. Experiments
have shown that the house letter-box
is a success‘and it is expected that it
will supercede the street letter-boxes
some day.

County Commissioners’ Report.
The report on liquor licenses for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1892, was
completed Tuesday by the County .
Commissioners. The total number of
all kinds of licenses issued is 619, for-
which have been received $188,794.17.
The county treasurer has received 69,-
43970, and the towns $179,354.47. Nor-
walk contributed 319,147 for 47 licenses,
including5 beer and 9 drug licenses.
For 61 licenses Danbury contributed
323,005. Bridgeport is of course the
banner town, paying $103,563.67 for 328
licenses.
The towns of Monroe, Easton, West-
on, Ridgefield, Sherman. Bethel, Wil-
ton and Bedding are no license. -
The commissioners’ report also shows
that during the year there were con-‘
