Notice. .
In view of the fact that many persons
have been thrown out of employment,
the GAzETTE has decided to print the
advertisements of all seeking situations
free. of charge until further notice.
When the present financial depression
is over the old scale of rates will be re-
sumed, but for the present the GAZETTE
hopes to be of sOme assistance to those
compelled to seek new situations. '
That ” Change.”
How little did any working man who
voted for a “ change ” at the Presiden-
tial election last fall, expect to read
anything like this, in a Democratic
paper, within six months after Mr.
Cleveland’s election :—
“ On every hand we _find mill owners
paying their hands in. store checks,
which orders foroproyismns and other
necessities serve just as good a purpose
as currency.”
Another Week Wasted.
The U. S. Senate voted yesterday
' to adjourn over till Monday. In nei-
ther House has anything been done to
alleviate the distress of the country.
Meantime, hotly charges the New York
World, the financial danger increases.
“Business is prostrate for lack of the
simple measure of relief which Con-
gress was called together to provide.
Industry is paralyzed and production
seriously checked. The lack of con-
fidence grows worse because of Con-
gressional inactivity. Every day’s delay
adds to the distress and danger. Yet
Congress potters and palters, while the
peeple wait‘and suffer. It is time for
COngress toget to work. The country
is growing very impatient.”
A Pension Bond issue.
The suggestion of the Hartford Cour-
ant to issue bonds at a low rate of in-
terest to meet half of the annual pay-
ment of pensions, and which the banks
might utilize, as a means of immediate
relief to the country, and of increasing
the currency to the full limit. has met
the approval of leading papers of the
state and many business men and old
soldiers. This certainly would be a
' wise and convenient way to reduce
taxes, increase currency and restore
confidence.
The Courant repeats that “these
bonds would be eagerly sought as a
basis for more and needed bank cur-
rency, and the mere announcement
that they were to be issued and that
' currency was to follow, would go a long
way to stop the present hoarding and
restore confidence.”
As soon as the people show less nerv-
ousness and city banks assume a more
confident and reliant attitude, the
worst of the stress will be tided over.
When the people are brought to think
that money is plenty, a better state of
things is at once begun. . Get the peo—
ple to thinking right and Congress to
acting right and the times will speedily
come right. '
Good Things to Remember.
Just remember, if you need a dress
or a coat or a pair of shoes or a new
furnace or a new carpet or any other of
the things people have to have, and you
see your way to payingfor, it,-go and
‘ ' get it now. Don’t go without what you
need unless you must. The only way
anybodymakes a living is by furnish-
ing what somebody else wants to pur-
chase. If everybody defers buying
what he wants, business activity be-
comes paralyzed.
Then there’s another thing to re-
member. Everything is dull. Mills
have shut down and stagnation prevails
but there’s one mill that doesn’t stop.
That is the stomach. We must eat to
live, and the whole activity of business
that goes to supplying food is bound to
keep moving. Similarly, notes an ex-
change, people must be clad. Clothes
will wear out ; so will shoes. They
must be renewed. The laws of nature,
and of man, too, forbid people going
naked hereabouts. It’s an immense in.
dustry to make clothes for 65,000,000
people.
Think it all over and then take cour-
age when you see how vast a business
is absolutely necessary from the simple
fact that so many people are living
here. There have been times worse
than these, and the world hasn’t come
to an and yet. Trade is bound to con-
tinue. It’s as necessary as breath.
The more each one can make it, the
better, and the way to keep it up is for
the people to BUY, not to go without,
and the way for the dealer to sum, is
to liberally and intelligently ADVEE'risE.

R'hody McGinnis Baoly Cut by a
CIUD in the Hands Of Hi3
Daughter.
The Woman’s Children Also Beaten.
Thursday evening word was received
at police headquarters that a woman
living on the New Canaan road was
clubbing an old man to death. Officers
Martiuand Northrop were detailed to
investigate. Driving to the scene they
found Roger McGinnis with his head
badly cut and blood bespattered‘over
his clothes. The police had learned
that it was he who had sent for them.
On being questioned as to how he had
received the injuries on his head he
said that he had fallen from a loft in
the barn. After a thorough investiga-
tion the officers learned that he was not
telling the truth and that the cuts had
been inflicted with a club in the hands.
of his daughter, Mrs. Lizzie Duffy.
McGinnis has a bad cut on the back
of his head, a bad bruise over his left
eye, his upper lip is cut and there are
other bruises of a less serious nature
on his face. He was altogether a most
uncanny looking object.
Mrs. Dufl'y finally confessed to hav-
ing inflicted the wounds, but said that
she did it in self defence, as it was
a case “If I hadn’t done him the old
fool would have done me.”
As Mr. McGinnis refused to prefer
any complaint against his unnatural
daughter, the police returned without
making an arrest. They took posses-
sion of the club with which it is alleged
the wounds were inflicted. It is a hick-
ory club about twenty inches long
and one end is whittled down small for
the purpose of its being grasped tight-
1h; there is a loop of dirty calico on
t e end and what looks like the word
“Mamma” written on it with a pencil,
asif done by some child. It would be
an ugly weapon in the hands of anyone
and much more so in that of a strong
and infuriated woman.
McGinnis is an old and broken-down
man, and it is a wonder that some of
the blows did not prove fatal.
_A gentleman who, in company with
his wife, were driving by the house
about 5.30 o’clock, had their attention
attracted in that direction by the loud
cries of some children, and at the time
the woman who seemed half-crazed was
unmercifully beating the children with
a club. As the gentleman stopped his
horse the children had managed to get
out of the reach of the woman, who
then- went into the house and pulled
down the curtain. -
Neighbors say that the racket was
kept up until a ate hour of the night.
The matter will be fully investigated
by State agent Thrall of the Humane
Society, and if it is found that Mrs.
ufi‘y is not a proper person to have
charge of the children, they will be
placed under the care of some one else.
It is reputed that intoxicating liquors
are sold at the house in direct violation
oflthe law, and it is a wonder to the
neighbors and others why the place has
not been “pulled” before now.
May Result Fatally.
Jacob Mueller, who lives at Belden
Hill, met with an accident, on Thurs-
day, which it is feared will result fatal.
1y. He had placed a load of wood on
his wagon and was engaged in binding
it when the horses started up and he
was thrown from the wagon into a pile
of rocks, sustaining very serious if not
fatal injuries about his head and back

ies. Mueller is a farmer and conducts
the cider mill at Belden Hill and is

Wanted a Loan.
Wagner, who works on the highways,
went to Supt. Curtis, and with a tear in
his eye asked for a loan of $3, adding
that he had just received word that his
sister Lydia had committed suicide in
Port Chester. and he wished to go to
that place and accompany the remains
to Norwalk. He said that she had
packed her trunk, written home for
someone to come and get it, and then
taken _a fatal dose of laudanum. He
was given the money and presumably
Nothing
further can be learned in reference to
the alleged suicide, other than that a

herself, stating that a‘ child whose

rhymed with dying it has very much
that appearance. Possibly though his
sister is dead as he stated.

While Mrs. ‘Mary J. Miller, the wid-
ow of Burtis Miller, who was a private
in a Connecticut regiment, was not in
any manner responsible for the loss of a
pension check which she never received,
she is nevertheless compelled to wait
six months before the government of-
ficials will issue a duplicate check. Fur-
thermore, the Government will not
guarantee against cashing the check
even if it is presented by the thief who
stole it. In this event Widow Miller
becomes the loser. '
The check was for $24 and was mailed
to Mrs. Miller’s home, No. 2096 Third
avenue, New York, by F. C. Loveland,
United States pension agent. It never
reached her and has not been traced.
She applied to the United States Assist-
ant Treasurer, but he replied that a du-
plicate could not be issued inside of six
months. If at the expiration of that
time the lost check had not turned up
or been cashed the widow would receive
the pension due her.

clothes out of the “den” as she called

A New York Ofliciai’s interesting Connec-

Failure—Great Mlners' Strike In Ten-
nessee and a. Murderer Lynched.
NASHVILLE, Aug.'11.—The suspension of
the First National bank was followed by-
the suspension of payment by the Ameri»
can National bank, one of the largest and
strongest in the city. The bank has a car»
ital stock of $1,000,000 and a surplus fund
of $116,000.
When the bank opened for business at
the usual hour, there were many depositors
about itsjdoors, and soon a run was made.
The crowd was very orderly and were paid
as rapidly as possible. Meanwhile a run
began on the Fourth National bank, which
has a capital stock of $1,000,000 and a sur-
plus fund Of $200,000, and is regarded by
business men as perfectly solvent.
The directors of both the American and
Fourth National banks published cards to
the effect that their banks were perfectly
solvent and also pledging their personal
estates to the payment- of depositors.
Could Not Stand the Run.
The run on the American National bank
was stopped at 9:30 a. m..by the announce
ment of the board that they had decided
to suspend payment. The Fourth Nation-
al bank continued to pay depositors as
fast as checks were presented. The di-
rectors of the Safe Deposit, Trust and
Banking company decided, in view of the
excitement prevailing, to take advantage
of the clause in their charter requiring dc-
positors to give 60 days’ notice of with-
drawal of deposits.
The board posted a notice stating that
depositors are absolutely safe for every
dollar they have in the bank. There was
no run on this bank. The Merchants’
bank and the Union bank and Trust Com-
pany bank, state banks, are solid, and no
runs are being made on them.
