[$1.00 a Year « PRICE TWO CENTS. , We Wonder. When Dr. Warner of Bridgeport made his “feeling” speech to his em- ployees’yesterday, notifying them of a forced reduction in their working time. we wonder if his thoughts wandered back to the song he sang last fall :— “Four more years of Grover, And we Will be in clover.” The Same Old Absurdity. A few years ago all the cranks and adventurers and doctrinaires used to flock to the “ greenback ” conventions. They wanted money'and plenty of it, and they insisted that the way to get money was to print it. But the country refused to accept the government stamp upon a piece of paper as sufficient to make money, without some substantial basisof value behind it, and the green- back craze disappeared. It did not occur to any of these men to advocate silver at that time, because silver was costly :and hard to obtain. Now that it has become cheap, they want the government to put its stamp upon it to make it “as good as gold.” It- is the. same old heresy, and it is nearly the same old crowd that is advo- cating it. There are some new faces among them, of course—the silver mi- here, for example, who used to be hard- money men, and who are in this move- ment only for commercial reasons. . Some of these men, if not most of them, no doubt are honest. They are of the kind-to whom theories count for more than facts, and who believe in the omnipotence of legislation. They be- lieve that “the government” can do anything and regulate anything, from hours of labor to the price of wheat, and that whatever it may choose to call‘ a dollar, will be a dollar, whether of paper or of tin. But facts knock out theories every time. They knocked out the greenbackers and they will knock out the silver shriekers. The trouble is that these people make so much noise, they terrify the politi- cians. The noise was all therewas to the greenback bugab‘oo. The moment any party had the courage to stand up and face it, it vanished. If Congress will, says the Philadelphia Times, but face the silver cranks with honest cou- rage, the Chicago- Silver Convention will be the last—under this name. The cranks will meet again as usual next year, but it will be to advocate some new absurdity. AAA The Bank Scare. Here are a few figures from the re- cent report of Comptroller Eckels that should be read and considered : Total number of National banks, - - - 3,000 Number recently suspended, - - ‘- -. 105 Number already resumed, ------ 14 Applied for permission to resume, - - 58 In receiver’s hands only”. - - - . . :33 In twenty-one states no failures have occurred at all, and of the banks in trouble, thirty-six had only 350,000 capital each, the smallest figure per- mitted by law. There’s nothing about these figures to create any general lack of confidence, and the trouble is, not that the banks are unsound, but that so many people have imbibed the absurd scare of hard times, and with- drawn deposits to such an extent that many banks are crippled in their efforts to secure ready currency enough to meet check demands. At Fall River, the banks have notified all the large mills that it'is impossible to supply cur- rency in payment of checks, and as a consequence, the mills must shut down. In other places, where order work is still keeping factories running, the banks can only furnish silver for meet- ing the operatives’ pay-rolls. ‘ The saddest record yet published, is that of theWorld this morning, giving statistics obtained from 57 trades in New York City, showing that 36,177 men are ‘out of employment in these trades alone. They represent only a part, and not the full extent of the trouble which has come to the working classes in consequence of the financial depression. ' Not only is that city menaced by this vost army of idle men, but thousands from all over the paralyzed West are hurrying to New York, to escape star- vation, western towns and cities feed- ing and forwarding these idle and hun- gry men, free of cost, to the New World’s metropolis; so that in New York especially, this sad record of un-V employed is rapidly increasing. The honest, frugal and temperate working-classes are the victims upon whom the evils of the present financial disturbance fall with most terrible weight. To them the situation means hunger and homelessness for wives and little ones, a dread prospect of poverty from which no industry can- shield, them. And the worst of it is, truly adds the World, that whenrelief comes to the markets, it cannot come quickly~ to these victims'of the disaster. The hard times that panic breeds do not end for them when the panic‘is over. It requires time, after such a distur- iElectric light station at an early hour bance, for industry to resume its ordi- nary course. The poor, who have been made so by this disaster, we shall have with us for many'months. In the face of such a deplorable con- dition, it is worse than madness to bicker about the question as to what public measure or measures, or what political party or parties are responsi- ble for it. Let every man with a'heart in his bosom and a Spark of patriotism in his heart, exert all his powers to better the sad situation and end the senseless financial stringency. TERSE TALES OF THE TIMES.

He has been withthe road twenty-five years and has an un- blemished reputation. «,- USE 'DANA’S SAasAPAmLLAJT's "I‘HE KIND THAT CURES.” - - Feels the Hard Times. . The latest in the way of an excuse for asking the loan of money was that given by a chronic borrower this morn- ing, who asked for a loan of ten dol- lars, he saying that all'of his money was in the bank and he could not. draw it out under ninety days, according to the rule recently established by the bank officials. It is unnecessary to state that the man lied, and that the “sawbuck” was not forthcoming. Dentists Must Register. The dental commissioners of Con- necticut met at the capitol in Hartford, Wednesday, to organize for carrying out the provisions of the law regulat- ing the practice of dentists. Dr. Civi- lion Fones of Bridgeport, was chosen president and Dr. George L. Parmelee of Hartford, recorder of the commis- sion. All dentists who were in practice in Connecticut before July 1, 1893, are eligible and are required to register. Circulars will be sent out to all appli- cants for registration. The Handbill Nuisance. The handbill nuisance received a knock-out blow by the late General As- sembly. Hereafter no person shall W111 fully deposit, throw or affix any paper or advertisementin any public highway, or on private premises or property without the consent of the owner, un- der a penalty of not more than $100 or imprisonment for not more than.six months, or both. It is also prohibited to aflix such advertisements to any tree, rock or structure within thelimits of a public highway, except notices posted in pursuance of law, thus preventing further desecration of the highways. Dreamed He Was in Heaven. John Lycett tells of the following dream which he had Wednesday night. “I went to bed pretty well tired out and sank into a sound sleep. I dreamed that I was in heaven,and was furnished with a pair of wings of fourteen feet spread. I looked around among the crowd but recognized no Norwalk peo- ple. Finally I walked up a flight of pear- ly stairs ; (I hadn’t at that time learned how to use the wings.) Arriving at the landing, I started to go down another fli ht, when whom should I meet but “ ill” Dann, who also had a pair of wings but like myself was not using them. I asked him how the devil he got there, but before he had a chance to answer,my wings fell off and I awoke to find myself in bed and on earth.” Saloons Closed Election Day. The saloon keeperspf the state, es- pecially a greatmany in Norwalk, have 'been under the impression’that the law relating to the sale of liquor on election days'had been amended to prov1de_that the saloons could open up for business one hour after the polls closed. _ ‘ An effort was made in the legislature to amend this section of the hcense law, but it failed, and the law now reads as it has read for some time, that saloons on election day must remain closed all day and up to 5 a. m. of the followmg day. The amendment to this law that pass- 'ed the general assembly was that in all borough elections the saloons in the borough must remain shut up from 12 the night before the election until 1 a. d ,m. the day after. Heretofdre in "bor- ought elections, the saloons were run- ning in full blast. ll SHOCKING FIND. The Badly Disiigured Body of a ‘ ManyFound off Str‘atiord. A Bar of Iron Fastened to His Waist. While passing the Stratford light- house Thursday evening aboutfi o’clock thetug Schaubel of New York was sig- naled by an oyster boat. The signal Was to the effect that the body of a man was floating a short distance away. Af- ter a, short search Capt. Lewis of the tug found the body which was badly dis- figured. It was made fast with a rope and towed to the foot of State street, Bridgeport, to await the arrival of the medical examiner, who was notified of thezfind. ' The body was that of C. D. Fuller of New Haven, who was lost from .the Richard Peck off Penfield Reef a week ago Thursday night. His features had been made unrecognizable by fish. He was well dressed, wearing a light over coat buttoned over a light summer suit which was of good material. His shoes were patent leathers and nearly new. On his coat was the name of C. D. Fuller which proved to be the wearer’s name. Around his waist was fastened by a small strap a large 15 inch iron bolt weighing about 20 pounds. Articles found on the body made it certain that the name of the dead man was Fuller. A ticket, No. 9,218, from New York to New Haven on the New Haven Steamboat Co. was found and it is ; thought that while he was on the boat hecommitted suicide by jumping into the water. ‘ . . _~',-jj nether ticket, which Was slightly do; cod, was found which was good for 50 trips on the Delaware, Lackawanna ~& Western Railroad from Hoboken to where is not known as the other "name had been torn off. Two pair of eye glasses encased in leather holders and a three bladed buck horn handle-knife were found as,well as three 32calibre- cartridges, ‘a gold plated cartridge shell pencil and a fountain pen. A neat sil- ver watch and chain were taken from his pocket and in a large leather wallet was $13 in bills. The last articles found were a toothbrush; andr-a handkerchief on which was written his name. USE DANA’S SARSAPABILLAJTS “THE KIND THAT CURES.” .. ; A Serious Runaway. — Mr. William H. Duncan, ticket agent at the Grand Central station, is taking a vacation at the home of his parents in" Norwalk. Thursday afternoon he went-to H. E. Dann’s livery stable and secured one of the best turnouts—a .new “canopy” to which was hitched a fine team of sorrels (gentle but stylish) with a brand new double harness. He drove to his home, where his wife and child and Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Bates of New York,;_ got into the carriage, nd the party started off for a pleasure drive. As they were coming down Fairfield avenue at South Norwalk the pole-strap parted, and the horses be- coming frightened ran away. At the corner of High street the carriage-ran over a flower mound and Mrs. Bates was thrown out. Mr. Duncan having lost control of the lines the team con- tinued on to the foot of the hill where they collided with a board fence near the Union school, and the carriage overturned, the horses being stoppe by a former employs at the stables. Mrs. Bates was found to be in an un- conscious condition, and was placed on a mattress and taken into the house of James Golden near by, and Dr. Allen summoned. He found that she had sustained a fracture of her collar-bone a dislocated shoulder and several cuts about her head. The other occupants of the carriage escaped without a scratch save a slight abrasion of the skin received b Mrs. Duncan on one of her arms. rs. Bates was taken to MLDuncan’s home later in the even- ing. One wheel of the carriage was wrecked; and the canOpy set'askew. The harness was considerably damaged and one of the horses injured about his legs. That the accident was not fraught with serious injury to all of the occu- pants of the carriage seems remarkable. His Jaw Broken. J ohn. the nine-year-old son of Depu- ty sheriff Toner, is at the hospital wrth a broken jaw. Thursday afternoon, he went into a field with a_bridle iii his hand to catch a horse which he Wished to hitch up and take a ride. . As he ap- proached the horse the animal threw up his hind feet one of which struck young Toner in the Jaw laying him out flat on the ground. He however got up and went home. ,_ ~Dr. Tracey was summoned and found that he had sus-_ tained a fracture to his lower jaw. and that several teeth were knocked from his upper jaw. It was decided to take him to the hospital for treatment. The lad seems to have a sort of .mania for being around horses, but it is believed that this adventure will have a tenden- cy to create in him a greater amount of care when about their hind feet.

Tracey who has been in attendance on the four children sick on Clark street with diph- theria, and one of whom died of that disease in its most malignant form, re- ports the youngest child stricken to- day, making four cases altogether. This morning Mrs. Ryau‘, the grand- mother, to whom thetfiliree youngest children were sen r'wlieyi the disease first developed in . oldest, is attacked with the same dis, Mrs. Ryan it is stated, was yester' ay dolng the wash- ing at the house of a Main street family where therez‘are a number 'of children, and it is feared that she may have spread thedisease. Why it is that the board of health has not been more rigid and thorough in the enforcing of the quarantine and adopting sanitary measures to prevent a further spread of the complaint cannot be understood. Dr. Tracey states that aside from policing the Kennedy residence, noth- ing has been done to arrest the spread of the terrible malady and no attention whatever has been given to the two Cobble Hill cases. ‘ Another Veteran Gone.
