‘ The New Major.
The omcers of the C. N. G. are be-
ginning to look over the field for one
of their number to. fill the position of
major created by the new military hill
just passed by the Legislature.
From the gossip among military men
here in Norwalk they are, with perhaps
three exceptions, unanimously in favor
of Captain Charles W. Hendrie, of
company C, Stamford, who is recog-
nized among his military friends as the
best man for that office.
Captain Ryder, of Danbury, is an
aspirant for this position and Captain
Rose, of Norwalk, has also been men-
tioned, but while Captain Rose is the
senior captain it is urged that both he
and Captain Ryder have not been’ con-
nected with the National Guard as long
as Captain Hendrie, who haacompleted
nearly nine years of military duty in
the state.
Captain Hendrie not only has one of
the best companies in the 4th Regt.,
but he is live, able and energetic, and
it is the opinion of his brother officers
that no mistake will be made in the
event of his election.
The New Era of Electricity.
The New York Evening ~Sun details,
‘with much exhuberance, the following
new developments in the realm of elec-
trical appliances, affecting our home
and culinary life. It says: “The usual
process of evolving electric energy is
to light a coal fire under a steam boiler,
and conduct the transformed water to
a cylinder piston, which in turn revol-
ves a dynamo. At Ottawa, Canada, an
electric upright boiler is heated by
electricity from a dynamo operated by
a neighboring water-power; the steam
from this boiler drives an ordinary
steam engine. At the same place a
conservatory and a large retail estab-
lishment are heated from the same
source of energy. These two installa-
tions wehe experimental, but after a
winter’s» trial the local electric light,
heat and power company is prepared
to undertake similar installations gene-
rally. ‘
At a recent woman’s fair, the water
for making tea was heated electrically
in decorative apparatus set on the table.
At the same time an electrically-heated
baker’s oven, fitted with a glass win-
dow, was set up, and that delighted
artist was able to sell his buns at 25 cts.
the bun to the persons who watched
them cook. The pufiing of the dough
under the measured and regulated 400
degs. of heat, and its gradual assump-
tion of the tawny color characteristic
of the bun are described as a process
fascinating to view. .
An Ottawa hotel recently served a
dinner cooked by the electric appara-
tus, which included a 21 pound roast,
several turkeys, ducks, lamb, etc. At
Boston the other day an electric heat-
ing company gave a dinner which em-
braced fish fried, steak broiled, beef
roasted, potatoes boiled and bread
baked at an electric cooking range.
The absence of a chimney and other
accessories, the fact that only the clos-
ing of a switch was necessary to obtain
heat which might be continued indefi-
nitely and shut ofi' instantaneously with-
out dirt, dust or labor, appealed vehe-
mently to the householders present.
The time occupied in preparing the
meal is thirtyminutes less than is usu-
ally required to do the same work on a
hotel range.
The rapid progress making with these
domestic installations in England has
been recently noted. There the elec-
tric and the gas companies are driving
one another hard to secure the market.
Cooking apparatus of both sorts is sup-
plied at prices which are already low.
Both sources of heat .are derived from
coal, the one by its combustion under
a steam boialer, the other by its destruc-
tive distillation in a retort, yet it is
' found possible to deliver the product at
a price that competes with the raw ma-
terial consumed in a cooking stove.
This fact diminishes the significance of
the Ottawa installations’ deriving their
energy from the gravity of falling water.
The Electrical Review recently printed
woodcuts of coffee and tea urns, plate
_ stoves and the electric cooking range
with its attached boiler. The outward
appearance of the last is much that of
the familiar kitchen range. ' i
In several mechanical directions the
. use of electricity is expanding at a rate
which can be temperately described as
by leaps and bounds. Its domestic use,
however, seems laden, with a blessing
to the world’s women beyond any other
' . which it can subserve. Neither is that
' day so far of as it seemed only a few
months ago. The introduction of elec- ,
tric cooking .may be deferred inosome
of the greater American cities, but the
smaller ones whose vested interests are
less dominant may be' expected to fol-
low up the .lead of Ottawa. But after
the West shall have discarded the hot,
laborious cooking stove and heating
furnace, the women of our older cities
may hail with, a great 'thankfulness the
- coming .boon, it not to themselves at
least to their daughters.” ' '

Rocks for Yale.
One of the strangest gifts ever made
to Yale College is that of "Minot Booth
of Monroe, an eccentric farmer who
died recently. He Owned several valu-
able granite quarries. These he left
by Will to Yale in order, as the will
reads, “that the professors of the uni-
varsity may have full and ample oppor-
tunities to collect eological specimens
and study the geo ogical formation of
the rocks of Connecticut.”
The Will has been admitted to pro.
bate and the Yale corporation has ac-
cepted the peculiar donation.
Railroad Accidents.
A passenger train and a freight collid-
ed on the N road near Bristol
Thursday morning. The baggage mas-
ter of the passenger train had a le
broken, and both engines and severa
freight cars were wrecked.
The extra freight on the Consolidated
road Thursday morning broke in two
on a grade near Meriden. The engineer
drove ahead to prevent a collision be-
tween the two sections and smashed
into a Hartford freight train. Nine
cars were derailed, four of which were
smashed. Brakeman Eugene Boapra
of Holyoke, had his foot crushed.

A Norwalk Widow Elopes With A
Waterbury Drummer.
Married in Bridgeport. .
Another elopement has been added
to the long list of such affairs credited
to Norwalk. Some few weeks since,
,F. E. Holmes, representing the Batch-
kiss Paper Co., of Waterbury. came to
Norwalk on a business trip. He made,
or, as is asserted, renewed an acquaint-
ance with Mrs. Addie Kellovg~Warren,
a widow, recently employed at Mead’s
confectionery. He rode about the
streets with the gentleman "whom .he
had concluded to make his father-in-
law, but it is not learned that hebroach-
ed the subject of marriage to him. On
Thursday morning, Mr. Holmes and
Mrs. Warren went out for a carriage
ride. As they did not return as soon as
expected, Mrs. Warren’s father became
suspicions that all was not right, but
his anxiety was relieved somewhat by
the receipt of a telephone message
from his daughter, at Bridgeport. stat-
ing that she and Holmes were geing to
get married, after which they would
his“. her aunt, who resides in Birming-
am.
Mrs Warren’s parents were averse to
her getting married quite yet, as her
husband had been dead scarcely a car,
and furthermore they to wished earn
more in reference to Holmes. Of course
they naturally feel badly that she went
away without first making
intention to them, but they will proba-
bly gracefully submit to t e inevrtable

and wish them every happiness.

P. H. Dwyer Happy.
The City of Norwalk band was or-
anized in the borough about two years
. At th‘ time there was consider-
a Is debate among the members in the
selection of a name; Mr. Dwyer who
was at the time leader of the band pre.
vailed upon the members to adopt the
name under which it has since been
known. arguing that it. would not be

At Hartford.
The House Thursday adhered to its
former action on the collateral inheri.
tance tax law and the civil actions bill.
As in both instances the action was dis-
agreeing the bills are killed. The Sen-
ate repealed the inheritance law but in
view of the action by the lower branch
it will stand as now upon the statute
books. The civil actions bill was that
allowing assessment of damages by a
“jury in default actions or in actions
where the defendant had been over-
ruled by demurrer.
Vigorous speeches were made against
the resolution appropriating $5,000 for
the erection of a plant to light by gas
or electricity, the old soldiers’ home at
N oroton. Several of those who argued
against the appropriation said they had
to use kerosene at home and they knew
no reason why old soldiers should be
supplied at state expense with luxuries
greater than obtainable by the average
dweller in the agricultural districts.
The bill was rejected, but the veter-
ans won a consolation prize in having
granted an appropriation of $22,000 for
building an addition to the Soldiers’
home hospital. The present hospital
quarters are inadequate to the growing
needs of the institution. One of the
features of the addition will be an isola-
tion ward.
The Railroad committee reported fa-
vorably a bill restraining the closing of
drawbridges over navigable streams.
It applies particularly to the bridge at
Guilford. By the same committee there
was also reported favorably a. bill pro-
v1ding for the reimbursement of towns
for money expended in removing grade
crossings since May 1, 1885, when these
creasings were over highways existing
previous to the building of the railroad.
Such reimbursement is to be granted
on application of the railroad directors,
and proof of the prior existence of the
highway in question is to be furnished
in a written statement by the Railroad
commissioners to the Comptroller.
The bill fixing the salaries of prosecut
ing liquor agents at $1,500 was rejected.
. There was a warm debate on the ma-
jority report of the Temperance com-
mittee allowing saloons to open one
hour after the closing of the polls on
election days. The religious and a ri-
cultural elements opposed it an it
was indefinitely postponed by a vote of
131 to 65. ,
A bill provrding a penalty _of $10 and
costs upon railroad companies for ob-
structing a crossing more than five
minutes at a time was favorably report-
ed by the Railroad committee. The
penalty is to be sued for within 30 da s.
After other business on the calen ar
had been disposed of Attorney General
with the Senate amendment making
Senator Pierce the incumbent of the
office was taken up. Wood (rep.) warm-
ly supported it, but it soon became ap-
parent that sufiicient Democratic oppos-
ition existed to kill the measure. Sev-
eral Democratic members spoke against
the amendment, and Rockwell (rep.)
concurred with them. Gunn, Healey
and other Democrats spoke for Pierce.
Finally, on motion of Hawley, of
Stratford, to indefinitely postpone was
carried, 124 to 44.
In concurrence the Senate passed the
bill amending the charter of the Bridge-
port Horse Railroad company, and the
resolution for the World’s Fair unket-
ting trip b state officials, mem ers of
the Genera Assembly, and a represen-
tation of the Connecticut National
Guard. .
The majority bill regarding contests
of elections by state ofiicers was passed.
It provides that within six days after
the canvass a claimant candidate may

judge for Hartford county, setting
forth the grounds on which he claims
the office. The Judge shall Within the
next six days summon in the opposing
candidate, review the canvass of votes
and other matters, and submits. finding
of facts to the Supreme court in special
session. The decision of that body
shall be final for the use of the General
Assembly. . .

His Injuries Not Fatal.
One of the Italians em 10 ed b th
Consolidated railroad in Imaking tge ima-

by the newspaper train early this morn-
ing and seriously, if not fatally injured.
The Italian was on his way to work,and
had just stepped off of the down- track
and was walking alongside the up track
to escape a train going west. when he
was struck by the newspaper train,
which he had not seen approaching.
The train was stopped and the injured
man lifted into the baggage car and
brought to South Norwalk and an ex-
amination made of his injuries, which
were found not to be of a fatal nature.
He was then removed to the barracks at
Rowayton on the 8:30 train, his friends
promising that they would care for him.

A‘Chicago Failure-
Themany eastern friends of the old
and hitherto prosperous Chicago real
estate and banking firm of Baird &
Bradley, Will be pained to learn of
their forced suspension yesterday.
Their assets are placed at $600,000 and
liabilities at $400, 000. Inability to real-
ize on real estate holdings is said to be
the cause of the suspension. The part-
ners are Lyman Baird, Wyllys W.
Baird and George R. Warner.
Mr. Francis Bradley, a native of
Ridgefield and for many years cashier
of the old' New Haven Bank, was a
member of this firm and but recently
died. Mr. Lyman Baird, some forty
ears ago, was connected with the
reasury_ of Yale College, and Mr.
Warner is a son of the late Wyllys
Warner, who for so many years was
Treasurer of. Yale. The firm has al-
ways maintained the highest standing
for energy, reliability and conserva-
tive management. They have invested
many millions of Connecticut capital
in and about Chicago and were for
many years the_western loan agents
.for the late Misses Margaretta and
Amelia Belden of N orwalk.
A. firm of such conceded ability, ex-
perience and integrity, cannot, it would
seem, be permanently crippled by the
present senseless stringency in the
money market.
