'I'ruth above all things. ”

{Entered in the Posto0flice as a Newspaper]
The City of Norwalk.
The GAZETTE has the pleasure to an-
nounce to its readers to-day the fact
that'vNorwalk is alive after all. By the
large and strictlynon-partisan,vote ' of
552 to 14, the voters of, the Borough
cast off the cerements of the old and
efl'ete Borough system, and enacted
the new and modern city charter.
This is a cause for public gratulation
on all accounts, and one of the most
gratifying features about the vote is
that only 14 voters in the - Borough
voted “ N 0,” showing how small a num-
ber of our citizens still desire a Chinese
wall to prevent our'muncipal prosperity
and growth. . . .
The Reason. .
Quite a‘ number :of voters‘who visited,
the Town House on Saturday to vote
for the new city charter, were greatly
surprised to learn that their names
were net on the voting list and that
they could not vote. The reason for
this was that the Borough voting list of
the October, 1892, election was used,
and all voters made at the Presidential
election weredisqualifieduto vote ‘on
Saturday. as they did not become vet-
ers until after the Borough list was
completed by the registrars and the
October, election held.
“To become voters in the new city it
will be necessary for these parties to
hand in their names to the registrars
when notice is given to that effect.
It Kills All Germs.
Chemist A. E. Woolf of New York
has recently invented a disinfecting
fluid and process that promises most
important results in sanitation. A pub-
lic test was made at Brewster’s station
a few days ago, which was witnessed
by the New York Board of Health and
Board of Public Works. Mr. Woolf
thus explained the process in detail:
A dynamo sends a current of elec-
t1ic1ty through water containing 2 per
cent of salt in solution, to which had
been added a quantity of a fluid the
secret of which is held by Mr. Woolf.
This secret solution facilitates the pro-
cess of decomposition effected by the
electric current, which results in the
formation of hypocnlorites.
The fluid is conducted through a pipe
into the main sewer into which all the
other sewers of - the village are drained.
The combination of the hypochlorites
with the organic matter in the refuse
results in the immediate creation of
ozone, the most powerful disinfectant
known to chemistry, in the presence of
which no disease germs can possibly
vThe party proceeded to the head of
the main sewer and a glass was partial-_
ly filled with the filth liquid, into
which the disinfecting uid had been
allOWed to run. Into this was poured
a quantity of bromide of potassium,
and the color of the fluid was changed
immediately from brown to jet black.
This was repeated several times, always
with the same result, and the visitors
noticed that there was absolutely no
smell arising from the contents Of the
sewer pipes, the patent fluid having
completely deodorized it. A piece of
putrid meat resumed its healthy color
and odor after lying in the fluid thirty
seconds. Wood pulp became bleached
in five seconds, and the combination of
sulphuric acid with a quantity of the
fluid produced an amount of chlorine
gas sufficient to disinfect the hold of a
ship.
The Official visitors returned to New
York highly elated with the success of
the tests. They will recommend the
erection of a plant similar to that at
Brewsters, which costs only $4 per day
to run for each village along the Cro-
ton Watershed, each village to pay for
its own.
“In case of 'an outbreak of disease in
New York," said Dr. Edson, “the
streets and gutters would be flushed
with this fluid and all danger of infec-
tion from sewage would be ended in-
stantly. I nsi er this a wonderful
invention, got i likely to work won-
ders in sanitary improvements. ”
A Better Outlook.
The advantages consequent upon mu-
tual support were never more evident
than in New York during the perilous
financial period thrOugh which this
country hasjust passed, and the bank-
ers of other cities are following the ’ ex-
ample of their New York brethern in
uniting to prevent senseless and ruin«
011s panics. The shoulder-to-shoulder
methods have done a great deal to re-
store confidence and to put life in many
of the sluggish business concerns. Im-
provement is evident in all directions
The New Yerk World, d1scussing the
situation, says:
“Bankers generally believe that the
bottom has been nearly reached and
that liquidation is about over. Besides
the signs of soundness, such as the
quick repayment of the New York loans
by the western banks there are other
hopeful indications. There has been
no great mercantile failure.- During
the month of J une between $60,000. 000
and 870, 000, 000 of mercantile paper fell
due 1n this city.’ Nearly every dollar
of it was aid without the ruin of any
large busmess house. This is a symp-
tom of a strong constitution. Besides
this the attitude of the New York banks
is admirable. The' Issue of the clear-
ing house certificates, which will be
' gnaintained as long as they are needed,
makes available as actual cash about
75 per cent of the face value of every
sound security held by the banks. The
banks use the certificates to settle bal-
ances between themselves, and there-

nearly took the place of the lost depOs-

These conditions are most pleasing to
' those who have endeavored to stem the
tide of . afrighted sentiment that but a ‘
few days'since rushed along at a most
undesirably rapid rate. The strain has
been very great indeed. but the worst
seems to be over and one of the first
things financial men should attend to is
the making or perfecting of such or-_
ganiaaticn throughout the country as
will negative any efi‘orts conscienceless
politicians or unscrupulous stock brok-
ers may put forth to disturb public
confidence.
Right here at home there is not a
single individual who may not do some-
thing to help enliven local business.
and improve the more encouraging out-2
look just now brightening the business
horizon. Let every citizen of Nor-
walk-man, woman or child, who has
a dollar, or even a nickel, to spend+-
spend that money'at home. Let the
good ladies forego the usual temptation
of going to~ New York to supply their
wants, make it a matter of conscien-
tious duty to spend every dollar possi-
ble here in town. An unmense amount
of good can be done by a cessation:
from the universal creaking about
“hard times” as well. One lady in town
who, it is reported to us, was consult-
ed by another as to the wisdom of with-
drawing a deposit from one of our sav.
ings banks, from a fear that the bank
might break, as they were doing out
West, spiritedly remarked, “ don’t be a
fool; leave your money where it is
until you need it, and then you can
When the Norwalk sav-
ings banks cease to be safe depositories
for anybody’s money, it wiltbe time
for us all to quit the earth and prepare
for heaven.” The sensible advice had
its effect in re-establishing a timid con-
fidence, and the savings bank deposit
was not disturbed.
Have confidence; have courage ; be
sensible and helpful to one another,
and better business conditions will
surely result.
