An Extra Gazette.
An issue of the DAILY GAZETTE will
shortly be published in the interest of
the town of Norwalk, and is intended
to embrace a complete list of the busi-
ness and professional men, showing
what facilities we have to offer to man-
‘ ufacturing and other industries to lo-
cate in Norwalk. This issue W111 give
unusual advantages to our business
men to widely circulate their interests.
An authorized agent for the GAZETTE
will call on the business and profession-
al men, and we feel confident they will
'give the enterprise their hearty support.
Coal.
This is the way the Harrisburg, Pa.,
Patriot, puts it :—“ There is law for
the strikers but none for the coal trust,
yet there was a greater outrage com-
mitted against the fundamental law in
February last than the wrongs of the
Homestead strikers, when a, combina-
tion of wealthy, well dressed gentle-
men originated a coal ‘combine’lwhere-
by every user of anthracite in the land
may be forced to pay whatever prices
these men of wealth may determine to
squeeze out of them, in violation of
common law and in defiance of the con-
stitution. Did the Governor speed
from seashore to capital to vindicate
the law then ? Did he demand of all
oflicials and subordinates that every ef-
fort be made to assert the majesty of
the law against the greed of the well-
dressed men of wealth ?‘
The Silver Question.
The poll of the U. S. Senate on the
silver question, gives a rather discOur-
aging aspect to the anti’s. The Repub-
lican Senators have just completed a
poll of ‘ the Senate on the proposed re-
peal of the Sherman silver act of 1890.
It is said that there are only about
eight members on the Democratic side
who can be depended upon to vote for
thg repeal and that the result is even
more discouraging on the Republican
side.
There are some Senators, and in this
class our Senator Platt is placed, who
are in fiver of or who would vote for
the repeal if the measure came to a
vote, but who will not vote to bring the
matter under consideration. It is also
understood that there is a majority of
seven or eight on the Republican side
of the chamber against bringing the
- measure to a vote.

Attached Cupid’s Chariot.
Deputy Sheriff Toner last night at-
tached the receipts of the “ Cupid’s
Chariot ” company at the Opera House
in Bridgeport, for a claim put in by
the author of the play, Henry Sayres
of New York. The managers of the
company are the Powers Brothers.
Sayres says that he was to receive $50
per week forthe right of producing the
play and 35 per cent. of the net receipts
at the end of the season. As the Pow-
ers Bros. had paid him nothing he took
this means to recover from them; Mr.
Toner enjoyed the play and then quiet-
ly took possession of the receipts, forty
per cent. of the same which he allowed
to the managers of the Opera House.
The receipts were $152.10. He also at-
tached four bicycles in the possession
of the company, but as it was shown
that they belonged to the manufactur-
ers of the same he released them. The
Powers Bros. attempted to bulldoze
the deputy but it wouldn’t work. The
company appears at New Britain to-
night.

“THE KINDA'ILHAT CURES.”
Candlema: Day.
Yesterday was Candlemas day, and
aside from its being a holy day it has
been looked upon from time immemo-
rial as the first dayafter midwinter on
which to make a prediction as to how
the weather will be for the next few
months. In the days before the war
Candlemas was known as “ground hog”
day, and the colored people of the
South watched with as much interest as
do the young people nowadays for the
arrival of Easter Sunday. .
A recent writer on' the subject says .
“ Candlemas day, contrary to St.
Paul’s day, must be dark and lowery to
bring luck in weather.” A German
proverb says: “ A epherd would
rather see a wolf. enter his stable than
to see the sun shining on Candlemas."
' “The badger.” says another Euro-
pean proverb, “peeps out of his hole
on Candlemas day ; if he finds snow
and clouds he Walks about ; if ‘ the sun
is shining he walks back into his hole
and expects that half the winter is to
com and move.” The negroes of the
Sout tell the same story of the ground
hog. He comes out of his hole invaria-
bly on_ the second at February; if he
sees his shadow he remains. but if he
sees the sun shining bright and no
shadow he goes back into his hele for a
i‘ .
long winter’s snooze.

County Salaries Tied Up.
Although some of the counties
have held. caucuses upon the county
commissioner matter, the Fairfield
county republican representatives have
not yet discussed the question in meet.
ing. Senator Ferris says we are wait-
ing for some disposition to be made of
the Hamersley bill, which provided for
the continuance of the present com-
missioners in office. The bill was pass-
in the house the day that the terms of
the commissioners expired, and was
subsequently tabled in the Senate.
The terms of Commissioners J ohnson
and Mead of this county expired at mid-
night, on January 17, which is the day
referred to in the Hamersley bill.
Therefore if the bill is passed by the
Senate these commissioners will 're-
sume the offices and continue With the
business as described in the bill:
the business of the county in _a .most
discouraging position. Commissmner
Paige is still in office, but is powerless
to transact any business, as it requires
the sanction of two commissioners " to
pay any bills or draw any orders. The
worst feature of the affair, however, is
the difliculty in granting or transfer-
ring licenses. A large number of ap-
plications in Danbury and .Stamford
have matured and the applicants are
ready to take out their licenses, but
there is no one to grant them, and they
cannot be obtained. . _ _
Another embarrassing pomt is in the
provision for prisoners and attaches at
the jail and county home. All the neo-
essaries provided at these institutions
are received upon order of the county
commissioners, but as there is no board,
no orders can be issued, and the at-
taches are wondering how the institu-
tions are to be maintained. The at.
taches as well as the" janitor of the
court house are in the same unpleasant
position.
Commissioner Johnson when ques-
tioned in relation to the matter said:
“ The present condition of afi'airs cer-
tainly puts the business of the county
in an awkward position. During the
past year the business transacted 1n the
county amounted to about $300,000.
Thus you see it is about $1,000 a day,
and of course each day that we are un-
able to proceed with business means a
loss to the county. Certainly some-
thing should be done at once. New
commissioners should be appointed or
the old boards empowered to transact
business until the new commissioners
take office. I don’t know how matters
will come out at the jail, but the coun-
ty home is all right for at least another
month. - I am treasurer of the board
of governors of that institution, and as
such officer can issue orders and pay
bills for its maintenance. There is at
present about $1,200 in the treasury
which will probably pay“the bills of
last month and those of the present
month. With the rest of the county’s
business, however. we can do absolute-
ly nothing, and it must remain at a
standstill until some remedy is offered.”

The Way of the Etta May.
The circumstances that led to the
_ trouble between Attorney Stiles Jud-
son and Judge William B. Glover in
Justice Wakeman’s court at Fairfield
Wednesday are very peculiar. Schafi'er
& Mott, whose names as plaintiffs in
the writ of prosecution; drawn by
Grand Juror Bulkley caused the disa-
greement, were at first, it seems, in en-
tire sympathy with the proceedings
and willing to be. associated with Mar-
shall E. Morris and Henry J. Lewis,
the other two plaintiff's, on the steps
taken. Then, it is said, the owners of
the Etta May, of,which the accused
parties, Captain Daniel Sprague, Geo.
Neubaner and William Settenridge,
were the crew, prevailed upon Messrs.
Shaffer & Mott to withdraw from the
case. Shaffer & Mott did so, but this
did not deter .Messrs. Morris and
Lewis, through Mr. Judson, their
counsel, from making them parties to
the complaint, inasmuch as they have ,
or claim to have, better evidence of
thefts from the grounds of Schaff'er &
Mott than from their own testimony.
The method of stealing, the crew of
the Etta May are charged with having
employed, was to proceed between
Bridgeport harbor, where they would
run in over night, and their own
grounds ofl' Southport with the house
of their boat closed on the land side
and the side toward the sea open.
From the seaward side where they
could (not be seen by the watchman on
shore it is alleged the crew would
throw a dredge and gather in oysters
from all the grounds over which they
passed on these trips.
Now it appears that the grounds
over which the Etta May passed in its
daily trips are owned b Messrs. Mor-
ris and Lewis and Sc afi’er & Mott,
and it is claimed by the two fir st named
parties that they have conclusive ev1-
dence, in affidavits of, eye witnesses,
that the crew of the Etta May did illeg-
ally dredge in the above mentioned
manner on Schafl‘er & Mott’s grounds,
and also evidence in a more-general
way to show that it.was done in a like
manner upon their grounds. In order
to establish the fact however, they
hhve made Schafi‘er 8r Mott prosecutors
with them a proceeding which their
counsel claims is, under the statue,
represented Schafi'er & Mott. claimed-A
that it was not, and said that his clients
could not be made parties to an such
action against their will. Gran Juror
Bulkley, who drew the complaints, had,
been pan ially convinced that Schafi‘er
& Mott's ould not be included among
the plaiutiffs, and on the strength of
his acquiescence Judge Glover proceed-
ed to erase their names from the same.
. This occasioned the squabble between
the lawyers. Attorney Judson p need
his hand upon Judge Glover’s arm an,
the latter braced his arm against the
stalwart lawyer from Stratford, as the
Judge
Glover re eased his hold upon the doc-
from being torn apart. Justice Wake-
'man was very indignant and declared
that if such proceedings occurred in '
his court again he would exert every
power? the. law gaVe' him to preserve
proper decorum. The incident creat-

in speaking of his illness said :—
“ It is with deep sorrow that we learn
that Dr. Harry Hungerford lies very
ill of pneumonia in New York. A man
so true and loyal in his profession, so
disinterested,‘devoted and untiring, of
high-toned integrity and moral worth.
can ill be spared from our midst, and
he has our earnest sympathy and desire
for his speedy and entire restoration to .,
health.”

A Self-Confessed Murderer.
Late last night Captain Colegrove
was surprised by having a rather tough
looking individual accost him, and _
make the startling announcement that
he was a murderer and .wished to de-
liver himself up to justice. ' The cap-
tain did not place much credit in the
fellow’s story, but nevertheless, he
looked him up. When questioned re-
garding the murder, the man said his
name was Henry McDowell, and that
he hailed from a lumber camp near
Bennington. Vt. He stated further
that while employed as engineerat a
lumber mill, he had quarreled With a
man named John Crowley. who was
continually picking at him and trying
to get a quarrel started With him. On
this occasion McDowell struck Crow-
ley and knocked him down after which,
he kicked and beat him, leaving him in
an unconscious condition. The next
morning he started out over the
mountains, and has been tramping an
hiding ever since April 2nd, 1892, the
date of the murder._ Chief Yollmer
sent a telegram to Chief of Police Nash
of Bennington, to ascertain whether
or not there was any truth in the_fel-
low’s story. An answer was received
stating that it was correct, and that he
would send for the man immediately.
He will probably be taken fromfiouth
Norwalk this evemng.
