The Gazette’s Ninety-Third Year.
To-day the WEEKLY NORWALK GA-
ZE'I‘TE enters upon its ninety-third year;
but seven years short of a full century!
But two other Norv‘valk institu-
tions ante-date the birth of the
GAZETTE. The First Congregation-
al and St. Paul’s Ochurches only,
are of prior origin. Like these ven-
erable and honored Christian organiza-
tions, the GAZETTE has ever been an
earnest worker for the highest good of
the place and people. The great-age
I of this paper is something of which our
citizens are notably and justly ,proud.
It would not be so, had it not always
been an honorable advocate of correct
principles, of local interests and a faith-
ful dispenser of news. No paper in this
state, or elsewhere. has more uniformlv
enjoyed the confidence and esteem of
its fellow members of the press. Its ar-
ticles are as frequently and as widely
copied into other paperS, as are those of -
any other similar publication.
The GAZETTE has now been nearly _a
half century under its present owner-
ship and management. It has ever
striven to be first and best. If failures
come, it was not from lack of earnest‘
We all step
higher with eyes to the stars. Some
forty-seven years ago,when the GAZETTE
came into the hands of its present pro-
prietor, it was about two-thirds the size
of our Daily. Some three hundred cop-
ies per week only, were printed. The
town had then barely a thousand inhab-
itants. A hand-press only, two fonts
of newspaper type and three of job type
comprised its total mechanical equip-
ment, although there was .then no oth-
er printing ofiice between Bridgeport
and New York. To-day ,the GAZETTE
requires three power presses and three
job presses prOpellcd bysteam, to exe-
cute its work, with a thousand fonts of
type. Now 'our population crowds close-
ly on twenty thousand people and in-
stead of the beggarly'three hundred pa-
pers per week, the GAZETTE now issues
some fifteen thousand in its Daily and
Weekly editions. And here let us most
sincerely thank the grand army of men
_ and women, of boys and girls, whose
generous friendship and efforts have
made it possible to attain such surpris-
ing results. It is to the kindly efforts
of such friends that the GAZETTE owes
its enviable reputation of being a favor-
ite Home newspaper. . Its character is
established as one of the leading,prom-
'ineut, influential and popular Family
newspapers of the State. It has long '
maintained its position in the fore-front
of journalistic progress, and its charlie;
ter for being one of the cheapest and best
of provincial newspapers. ' It does not
purpose to rest on any of its bright Ian;
, rels already won. New ' opportunities
will open with the year.‘ In this intense
period of fierce business competitions
and swift advancement, the editor, with
others, must realiz’e'lth'at'he who hesi-
tates or stands still, is lost in the race
for business supremacy. It has ever
4 been a solace and joy that the GAZETTE

‘fin its Aggressive advancement has found
fsuch generous an‘d— hearty appreciation
and support. Independent and fearless,
but always‘with an honest purpose to
be fair and just, it frequently causes
painful regrets to learn that some es-
teemed friend has been offended; but
ai ways outspoken, frank and truthful,
it is a pleasure to know that it is locally
everywhere read and respected by read-
ers of all faiths and conditions. Always
the foe of the viscious, the public thief,
the office—grabber and official pauper ;
the profligate and the demagogue, the
GAZETTE‘haB always and justly been
honored, by the vindictive hate of all
wrong-doors. Always clean in its aims
as it is complete in its qualities of a
good newspaper, it is WPluumed 'iu the
Homes of all classes of our people. With
all the ebbs and flows of partis‘an and
sectarian passions and prejudice, the
GAZETTE has steadily grown in readers,
in pewer and in profit alike to publish-
er and patron.
The GAZETTE to-day is greater in re-
sources, stronger in all modern journal-
istic requisites, with the largest num-
ber of readers and the most extensive
advertising patronage it has ever be-
fore enjoyed in all its ninety-three
years of existence. It is conceded to be
one of the”enduringlycstablished,,leadi;
ing newspapers of Connecticut and sec-l
0nd to none in this vicinity, in circulai
tion and its newspaporial completenessl
In the future, as in the past, the GAL
ZETTE will seek public favor or support,
only by eminently deserving it. It
will continue to be “independent in
everything; neutral in nothing.” It
will ever dare for the right, for the
right’s sake.
The GAZETTE now wishes its every
patron and reader the greatest happi-
ness, health and prosperity throughout
the New Year. To this end its best ef-
forts will be directed. If it succeeds in
aiding to uplift the standard of thought
and life, to uphold justice and repress
evil, to promote the public prosperity
and welfare, this year’s end will bring
the happy consciousness of “duty
done.”
This is both the Nation’s and the GA-
ZETTE’s anniversary year;let us all strive.
to make it the most useful, the happi-
est, significant and best, in all our his-
tory. Let there be in religion less in-
tolerance and bigotry ; in politics more
patriotism and less partisanship, recog-
nizing the pertinent fact that g“ he
serves his party best who serves his
country best.” This is no time for
honest, intelligent citizens of either
political organization to seek partisan
advantage at, 8. Cost of peril to the best
interests ot' the country. It may be
that before this new year shall end,
conservative men of all parties may
deeme it their highest duty to act to-
gether on questions affecting the pub-
lic Weal and the Nation’s honor. '
And at the Home and Fireside may
there be , more faithful love and
in all our livesmore truth. faith and
charity and less sham, insincerity and
selfishness, to the end that throughout
the world, the beacon lights of Lib-
erty and Enlightenment may grow
“brighter and brighter unto the per-
fect day.” .
To one and all of its multitudinous
friends and patrons, the old GAZETTE,
on this, its ninety-third natal- day, ex-
tends its hcartiest wishes for a health-
in], prosperous and abundantly joyous
New Year.

Senatorial.
The senatorial struggle is bringing
again to the light the late_ election in
Hartford. Republicans openly charge,
although the charge is disputed, that
Gen. Hawley’s “friends” omitted to
vote for the Republican candidates for
representative because the latter would
not pledge themselves to support Gen.
Hawley for senator ; preférring that a
Democrat should be elected rather
than what they chose to term .an “un-
faithful” Republican. This may be
one way of retaining an office, but it is
not fair politics.—Willimantic Journal.

Connecticut Railroads.
The report of the railroad commis-
sioners was presented to Governor
Morris yesterday. In the report was
embodied the returns of the railroad
companies for the year ending June 30, -
1892. .. .
The increase in the gross earnings
were offset by the increase in operating
expenses. which amounted to 317,097,
219.57, an increase of $005,277.53, or
6.21 per cent. The per cent. of oper-
ating expenses to gross earning in-
creased 1.36 per cent., amounting to
70.12 per cent. of the whole.
The taxes paid to the state of Con-
necticut by the railroad companies the
past year amounted to $765,639.16, or
about 35 per cent. of all the taxes re- ,
ceived by the state. _
In reference to the accidents at grade
crossings thereport says that there
were 48 and of these 24 were either
killed or fatally injured, as against 13
killed the preceding year. Of th 48
injure 13 were trespassers, one wa a
trainman, and the remaining 34 were
travelers on the highway, twice the
number of those on the preceeding
ear. Of the 34 travelers 16 were fatal-
y injured. .
One million five hundred and thirty-
three thousan'd seven hundred and one,
or 4.93 per cent. more passengers were
carried by our railroads than the me
vious year. the total amountlng to 32,
621.045. The average length of ' the
journey of each passenger was 17.85
miles, and the total revenue received
from them was 31035354848, or 32.76
cents per passenger, being about one-
third of a cent per passenger less than
the preceeding year.
The freight carried amounted to 11,-
528,711 tons, an increase of. 819,760
tons, or 7.43 per cent. The total freight
revenue was $1,867,442.15.
Married but a Month.
Augustus Fluhr, a young man of
about 26 years of age, has had good oc-
casion to reflect on the perfidy of wo-
man. December 1, 1892, he wedded
Miss May Masterson, who at that timé
resided in Hubbell’s block. Bridgeport.
says the Post. She was pretty, dressed
well, and had numerous admirers. Mr.
Fluhr was the most attentive of them
all and in his infatuation offered to
marry her and give her a chance to
lead a different life. . .
She consented, the two were married
and preparations were made to leave
Hubbell’s block. Fluhris a carpet lay-
er and obtained work in Bridgeport.
Just after the marriage an old flame
of Mrs. Fluhr’s, named Thomas Far-
rell of Piovideuce. R. I., turned up.
From that moment Mrs. Fluhr’s affec-
tion seemed to wane and she transfer-
red her adoration to her former lover.
'Mr. Fluhr naturally objected to the
transfer. He says his wife would do
nothing that he asked. He says she
had no consideration for him and was
only satisfied when Farrell was With
her. This sort of thing led to several
conflicts (between Fluhr and young Far-
rell whom she seemed to tolerate. All,
hands were arrested a short time ago as
a result of one of these encounters.
Althou h they have. been married but
a month, luhr is sick of his bargain
and wants his wife’s folks who live in .
Nor walk to come and take her away. ‘
He has been in New York, for two
weeks visiting relatives; he says. The
atmosphere got too hot for him here.
He got back Tuesday. He found his
wife’s eyes blackened and her face
bruised as a result of, Farrell’s caresses.
Fluhr tackled Farrell and determined
to take revenge; He got the worst of
the battle, however, . .
He says‘that during his absence his
wife’s sister, Mrs. Wilson bf South Nor-
walk, came" to take his wife away from
her unsavory surroundings. When she
called at Hubbell‘s block .- Mrs. Fluhr
'hid under the bed and ii
rie Parker, asserted that she had gone
away. . .

Shocking Tragedy in Albany Caused by a
Watch and a ’ Mother-ln-Law.
ALBANY, Jan. 6.——-Yeste'rday afternoon
at 2.30 o’clock William H.-Shattuck, 22
‘years old, shot his wife, 19 years old,
three times in the head, killing her in«~
etantly. He ' then shot himself in the
temple, but will probably live. The
couple have been married only about
three months, and were living with Mrs.
Shattuck’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. C.
Radley, at 98 Willett street, facing Wash-
ington Park. The couple have not lived
«happily together lately, owing principal-
ly to the wife learning that her husband
,had purchased a watch and given it to
another woman before the marriage.
Since then Mr. Shattuck took the watch
back from the other woman and asked
his wife if she would like to have it. She
said “No,” that she had .a watch of her
own, and that anyway she would not
carry a watch'which was bought for an-
other woman. This watch has been a
subject of many heated arguments be-. . __'”; -. ,3 ,
tween Shattuck, his wife and her mother, . .. _
and was apparently the cause-
