City of Norwalk.
Mention was recently made in these
columns of the prophetic wisdom of
band-master Dwyer in giving his fine
musical organization the proper and
significant cognomen of “ City of Nor-
walk Band.” This article indirectly
conveyed the impression that our mu-
sical friend was the first to thus show
his modernized spirit of enterprise and,
sense of the eternal fitness of things.
The GAZETTE has no desire to detract
one whit from the credit and praise due
Mr. Dwyer, but to extend the credit
where credit is due, so that the truths
of history may be inviolably main'
tained. To the Selleck brothers, George
W. and Captain Isaac, is due the fame
of first fixing the glory of Norwalk’s
present legislative prominence and
significance among the peoples of the
land, when they, years ago, went down
to Delaware and ordered a freight pro-
peller built for this and the New York
route and christened her “ The City of
Norwalk.” These enterprising sons of
Norwalk have lived to see their pro-
phetic vision of decades ago realized,
and our beautiful, thrifty and growing
municipality now named and known
abroad as the City of N orwalk.

Broken Bits.
Every few days some one of the GA-
ZETTE’S exchanges records the breaking
of the bits in the mouth of a spirited
horse, and a serious runaway accident
as a result. The latest is that of a Mr.
Henry D. Mould, who was driving in
PrOSpeet Park', Brooklyn, yesterday,
when the bit in the mouth of his horse
broke, and the animal, of course, start-
ed off on a mad galop, t0 the conster—
nation of all others on the crowded
drive-way.
Acting on the impulse of the moment,
Mr. Mould sprang from his seat in the
buggy to the shafts, and with a desper-
ate efi'ort succeeded in grasping the
everdraw check-rein. Before the horse
had run three blocks he brought it to a
stand-still. As he dismounted from the
horse’s back he was enthusiastically
cheered by the spectators.
Such is the thrilling narrative of Sun-
day’s bit- breaking adventure. Last
week an accident from the same cause
occurred in Massachusetts, where a
gentleman was driving out with his fa-
mily and though none‘of the occupants
of the carriage were fatally injured,
they were all more or less seriously
bruised, the vehicle demolished, and
the valuable horse badly maimed.
These accidents are becoming alto-
gether too frequent, and the owners
and users of horses should combine
against all the cheap harness manufac-
turers who are guilty of putting cast
or malleable iron bits upon the market.
They are known to be weak and rotten,
and as in the case of a Norwalk man
who purchased a Demorest harness,
with a personal guarantee that the bits
had been subjected to a regular and
severe test, a fissure or fracture was
way through the iron bar of the bit,
and on the second time of using the
bridle, the bit of course parted in the
mouth of the spirited young horse,
and only the best of good luck saved a
very serious runaway accident on our
Fair Grounds.
The only excuse given by harness
makers and dealers for putting these
inseeu bits into their harnesses, is to
meet 11 almost universal demand for
cheapness, but this does not justify
such an evident disregard of the lives
and limbs of those who may purchase
their manufactures. Never buy a cheap
nit.
Atlantic City. misty;
It is claimed that the unbroken five
miles stretch of smooth white sand
by any other on the globe. Be this as
it may, true it is, that no other summer
resort on this continent can combine
all the intellectual delights and physi-
cal comforts and luxuries of sea-shore
summering, at so moderate a eost,as at
this unique resort. Now that so many
people are wondering where to go for a
hot weather outing, let us urge them to
take in Atlantic City,for at least a brief
sojourn. And if you do, you can find
no more resonable, comfortable, quiet
and homelike hostlery than the “Hotel
Richmond,” named in honor of Buffa-
lo’s and Albany’s noted, old time poli-
tician and transportation magnate.
This house is kept open all the year and
is constantly filled with health as well
as pleasure seekers. Mrs. Pease, the
proprietress, takes personal {charge of
the culinary department, her sons 05
the business office and everything if
done by them all, that can possibly add
to the comfort and enjoyment of their
guests. On the broad “ board walk,”
extending for five miles over the mar.
gin of the ocean’s shore, can always ,be
seen an interesting crowd I from every
quarter of the earth, while the hun-
dreds of bathers buffeting the break-
ers are always objects of beguiling in-
terest. You will make no mistake if
you take a trip to Atlantic City, nor
will you if you stop at the Hotel Rich-
mond, at the ocean and of Kentucky
avenue." . . L ' ’ ‘ ' -
. A singular, aswell as locally interest-_
ing incident was- accidentally revealed
:to the writerzduring a brief. sojourn at
; the Hotel Richmond. Stopping at the
same‘hostelry'were four ladies from
Baltimore, distantly-related to the Nor-
walk'Keyser’s. Last year they visited
Norwalk,land by inquiry and diligent
personal search and inquiry, sought to
find some suburban boarding place
where they could spend the summ‘er,,
but without avail. 7 They then went to
Shippan Point, and found ample ac-
commodation. Still another party, con-
sisting of a mother and her two daugh-
ters, at the same house at the same.
time, also stated to us that they had
tried very hard to find summer board
last year, anywhere on the beautiful
and sightly hillsides of South Norwalk,
but were unable to do so. These acci-
dental incidents go to show how widely
the fame of our beautiful town, as a
desirable place for residence, is spread,
and Norwalk’s extreme destitution in
the way of. genteel boarding houses
where persons who desire can find ac-
commodations. South 'Norwalk has
two good hotels, but their proximity to
railroad noises and annoyances, render
them undesirable for summer guests.
Fortunately, this year, the large Moss
mansion, overlooking the harbor and
town, is conducted as a genteel board-
ing-house, but with this exception, we
are unaware of any other suitable home
for visiting strangers.
At the “Bridge,” we have a well-con-
ducted but old—time hotel, whose ca-
pacity is scarce equal to the home de-
mand on it, while no really first-class
or even fairly comfortable houses are
here to open their doors to the many
who would be glad to come to Norwalk
to live. Such a condition of things
ought not to be longer permitted to
exist.
The Pardoned Anarchists.
The pardon by Governor Altgeld of
the three Anarchists who were yet in
the penitentiary for complicity in the
Chicago Anarchist riots several years
age, could be excused only on the
ground that they were wholly inno-
cent of the grave charge on which they
were tried. If they had any part what-
ever in that murderous riot, there is
not an attribute of justice that could
plead for their pardon. ’
The excuse offered by the Governor
for the pardon is given in a criticism
of the trial, and that is, at best, a lame
apology. Two of the three pardoned
Anarchists were convicted of murder
and the punishment subsequently com-
muted to imprisonment for life, and
the third was sentenced for fifteen
years. That they were guilty of aid-
ing and abetting the horrible crimes
of the Anarchists can hardly be doubt-
ed; and that leaves the pardons with.
out justification.
These Anarchists were pardoned be-
cause the Anarchists and their sympa-
thizing friends, the Socialists, have be-
come a formidable political power, and
what must the harvest be ? There is
not an Anarchist conclave in the land
where there will not be rejoicing over
this overthrow of justice by the power
of banded revolutionists, and that alone.
should awaken every law-loving citizen
to the growth of lawlessness in the
country.
It is unfortunate, says the New York
Sun, that the Democrats should be res-
ponsible for the election of a Governor
who shows such a remarkable sympa~
thy with Anarchists and such a severity
against officers of the law. Apparently,
in the eyes of the Hon. John P. Alt-
geld the Anarchists were suffering in-
nocents, while Judge Gary and Mr.
Bonfield were ravening and malignant
persecutors.
We do not know. continues the Sun,
whether or not the eports are true
which represent Altgeld as a sort of
Know-Nothing turned inside out ; that
is, a man who thinks that a foreign-born
American is better than a native-born
American. At any rate, there have
been reports, for some time. that he
was fishing for the so-called labor vote,
and hoped to be elected a Senator in
Congress by reason of it. Only a day
or two before the pardon of the Anar-
chists, the Inter-Ocean published the
report that it was his object to make
himself sure of the Cook county labor
vote. By the labor vote is meant, of
course, not the vote of laboring men,
but the vote controlled by the noisy
and worthless agitators, almost invari-
ably foreigners, of whom Chicago is
full.
We would not lightly ascribe the
pardon of the Anarchists to political
motive and ambition. Governor Alt}
geld has risen as high and he has fallen
as low as he ever will. If he was sin-
cere in granting the pardon, he has
performed’an act of great self-sacrifice.
If he was insincere, he will be efi‘ec-
tually punished. Whether he is a mis-
taken sentimentalist or a semi-Anar-
chist or a scheming demagogue, he is
played out.
The busiest men in town at present
are the painters. ,

A mother wanting a knock-
about suit for her small boy
can generally find among our
reduced suits one at the usual
price of a poor suit. It always
gives such satisfaction that she
doesn’t want anything to do
with the old sort, although the
good sort cost more.
It happens that way over
and over again; and it almost
pays us to lose money once in
a while, so that you may know
of the lasting good that we
store up for your boy in our
suits.
Besides, we have everything
that boys, stout or slim, wear:
hats, shoes, furnishings—end
your money back if you want
it.
