Mrs. 0. H. Platt Paralyzed. ,

A Washington dispatch this morning,
gives the painful intelligence that the
wife of Senator Platt was streken with
paralysis at the Arlington at Washing-
ton. The hope is expressed that she
will recover, but it is to be. borne in
mind that this most estimable lady has
for a long time been a suffering invalid
and her constitution so impaired as to
render such recovery in all probability,
exceedingly slow... Senator Platt will
have the heart-felt sympathy of the peo-
ple of Connecticut in his sudden and se-
vere affliction.

 

Our Nee Nelly Grant.

Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris, daughter
of General Grant, sailed for Europe
Wednesday in the steamer Paris. It is
the intention of her eldest son to re-
turn and take up the practice of law in
this country. He is now sixteen. Since
the death of her husband about six
months ago Mrs. Sartoris has received
a large increase of income. She was
already rich as her father-in-law on his
death three years ago, left her an in-
come of $35,000 a year, and the Lon-
don house. She has three children,
the son and two daughters.

Daughters of the Revolution.

At the meeting of the Norwalk Chap-
ter of the Daughters of the American
Revolution the following officers were
elected: Regent, Mrs. E. J. Hill ; vice
regent, Mrs: Thomas K. Noble; secre-
tary, Mrs. James G. Gregory ; treasur-
er, Mrs. James L. Stevens ; historian,
Mrs. George B. St. John; registrar,
Miss Lena Hill. The aged Miss Juliette
Betts, was able to be present and the
interesting fact was elicited from her
that her father was among the Connec-
ticut troops who were present at the
surrender of Cornwallis to Washington,
at Yorktown, and the further interest-
ing fact was developed that the meet-
ing, all unwittingly, was being held on
anniveasary day of that surrender, Oct-
ober, 19th.

 

Connecticut’s Great Corporation.

The New York, New Haven & Hart-
ford Railroad Company has undergone
great changes in the last decade, not
only material but personal. It has be-
come the greatest corporation in the
state; some people charge that it is
greater than the state. Ten years ago
it operated about 450 miles of railroad;
today it operates 1,607. Then its in-
come from operations was $6,729,000;
now it is $18,113,000. Then its average
rate of fare per mile was .0198; now it
is .0179. These few figures suggest
sufficiently the vast expansion that has
occurred. There is now a line from
New York to Boston, to the end of
Cape Cod, up into Western Massachu-
setts, to the New York state line, and
absorbing practically, everything in
Connecticut except the New England
and New London Northern.

Almost as great changes have been
wrought in its personelle as in its phy-
sical expansion. Of its original board
of managers all are dead, or retired,ex-
cept two, we believe, Messrs. Ezekiel
Trowbridge of New Haven, and Wm.
D. Bishop of Bridgeport. Men may
fall by the wayside, but this great cor-
poration, waxing constantly greater,
seems likely to go on forever.

 

 

The Tariff.

The Providence Journal having re-
marked that there is no likelihood of a
change in the tariff for two or three
years, the Free Trade organ of Sduth
Carolina, the Charleston News and
Courier, says :

“What is your authority for the as.
sertion that there is no probability of a

change in our tariff for two or three
years to come ? If it is not changed

‘ within the next fifteen months, the

D emocratic party might as well abandon
the political field for the next gener-
ation.” '

The threatened move in the House of
Representatives towards an overthrow
of the tarifi‘, had far more to do in

causing the business depression and

in stopping manufacturing, than the
silver law orzany and all other causes.
The Providence Journal is probably
correct in its opinion, as the Senate is
not likely to let any tariff repeal pass
that will prove ruinous to our American
producing interests; The southern and
strong end of 'the Democratic party in
Congress is no doubt ready and anxious
to inaugurate Free Trade with all the
world, and rely upon a personal income
tax for governmental revenue, but
northern and many western Demo-
crats dare not support such a wild
measure. Certain it is, there is none
of the dangerous heresy of free trade,
promised in the national platform of the
Democracy, in sight in this Congress.

 

Why Coal Goes Up.

A good many peeple wonder why
coal is so high. And blame the local
retail dealers for the exhorbitant prices
charged for the black diamonds. But
the retail dealers should not be cen-

 

sured for the high prevailing prices, as
they are merely agents, dictated to
and at the mercy of a heartless mon-

opoly. ,

The New York World tells why the
price of coal goes up. It rightly says :

“It is a detriment, not an advantage,
to the retail dealers, that the must
charge $5.75 and $6 a ton for co which
ought to be soldfor $4 or $4.25 at mo t.
The advance is forced by the monop y
which controls the mining and trans-
portation of coal. That monopoly rests
upon a conspiracy. The law provrdes
ample means for its suppression. It di-
rects the criminal prosecution of every-
body concerned in it, and the seizure
and confiscation of every ton of coal
it tries to carry across a state line.

The law requires the Attorney Gen-
eral to enforce its provisions. The At-
torney General wholly neglects to do
so. That is why all the people are
required to pay 50 per cent. more for
coal than the legitimate price.”

A Wilton Case.

Thomas Cook and Daniel Gantley es-
caped with the light sentence of six
months in jail at the Superior court on
Thursday. It was thought at the time
of their hearing in Norwalk that ifithey
escaped with a sentence of of two years
in States prison they would be lucky.
It will be remembered that they not
only committed robbery, but as was al-
leged committed an assult with intent
to kill, and that Mr. Raymond whom
they assaulted, escaped with his life is
through no fault on their part.

Poisoned by Scrofula
Is. the sad story of many lives made
miserable through no fault of their
own. Scofula is more especially than
any other a hereditary disease, and for
this simple reason: Arising from im-
pure and insufficient blood, the disease
locates itself in the lymphatics, which
are composed of white tissues; there
is a period of foetal life when the
whole body consists of white tissues,
and. therefore the unborn child is es-
pecially susceptible to this dreadful di-
sease. But there is a remedy for scro-
fula, whether hereditary or acquired.
It is Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which b its
powerful effect on the blood, expe s all-
trace of .the disease and gives to the
vital fluid the quality .and color of
health. - If on decide to take Hood’s
Sarsparilla 0 not accept any substitute.

 

BICYCLEEEETIOVERED.

A Colored Man Arrested For The
Theft.

He Told Conflicting Stories But
Finally Confessed.

On Saturday night last William H.
Ferris, who is employed by W. H.
Hoyt on Water street, South Norwalk,
had his Victor bicycle stolen at about
10 o’clock, from in front of his home.
About 9 o’clock Wednesday night a
Columbia bicycle, No. 2622, was stolen
from H. O. Smith, who lives on the old
Saugatuck road. Thursday morning
Mr. Ferris was surprised to find his bi.
cycle had been returned. The same
morning several parts of his machine
werefound behind some barrels in the
barn of William B. Staples on the Pine
Hill road. At the same time the Colum-
his machine belonging to Mr. Smith
was found in the same barn. The facts
were given to Chief Vollmer who ascer-
that a colored man named Robert Nich-
ols, who worked for Mr. Staples, had
been seen riding a Victor machine sim-
ilar to the one lost by Mr. Ferris. This
morning in company with a GAZETTE
representative Chief Vollmer went to
Mr. Staples’ barn and made a thorough
search of the premises, but failed to
find anything further in the bicycle
line. When Nichols, who had gone
with Mr. Staples after a load of salt
hay, returned, Chief Vollmer cross-ex-
amined him and owing to the many
conflicting stories told by him he ar-
rested him aud took him to the station
house and locked him up. On the way
over the Chief tried to explain to Nich-
ols that he had sufficient evidence to
c’onvict him of the theft of the bicy-
cles, but Nichols stoutly denied his
guilt. Before locking him up the Chief
gave him another chance, but he still
maintained his innocence, and told
many conflicting stories, in .several of
which he was neatly trapped by the
Chief. After leaving him locked up
for a while the Chief returned to the
station house and took his prisoner to
Attorney Light’s office where he was
examined by Attorney Taylor, with the
result that Nichols broke down and ad-
mitted stealin both bicycles, but stated
that he did it or a joke.

Nichols will probably be tried before
Justice Barrett this afternoon.

By capturing Nichols Chief Vollmer
has done a creditable piece of work,
audit conviction follows, as it no doubt

’ .will, he will come‘iu for a reWard of

5550 offered by the Pope Mfg. 00., and

Inquiry to be Made.

Says the Bridgeport Post: Tuesday
afternoon the two children of Thomas
and Catherine Carroll of the Fourth
ward, who were recently committed
temporarily to the county home, were
released on an order from the commis-
sioners. They were brought to their
home in Bridgeport, the father having
found employment and was desirous of
recovering the children.

John Carroll, the youngest of the
two, is but four years of age. . He bore
bruises about the body, a badly swollen
foot and a large ugly scar three inches
in a circular form under the left eye.

The child also had a hacking cough.
The mother in an indignant frame of
mind visited Humane Agent Middle-
brook and showed him the child’s con-
dition. The agent advised the woman
to go to the county commissioners im-
mediately and make complaint to them.
The mother did so at the same time in-
formiu Commissioner Houlihan that
the chi d went into the home healthy
and without a mark on his body.

Commissioner Houlihan examined
the boy and asked him relative to the
treatment _he received at the home.
The boy informed the commissioner
that he was struck with a stick by a
Miss Staule , one of the teachers at
the home. he commissioner sent the
mother and child to Dr. Gordon so
that a. complete examination regarding
the bruises might be had.

The commissioner inquired relative
to the matter from Miss Phelps, matron
at the home. The latter said the child
suffered from exzema and the bruise
about the eye was inflicted by one of
the boys. She would investigate the
matter, however.

The commissioners have decided to
make a diligent inquiry into the matter
and discover how the boy received the
injuries- Miss Phelps at the Home
said she willingly courted a full inquiry
and would assist the commissioners.

FRESH spin NEWS

France Still V Feteing Her
Russian Visitors.

Marshal Mac Manon to Have a Nat-
ional Funeral and Admiral Ave-
lain Will Attend—English ltIiners
Again Rioting—Otlier News.

Pains, Oct. 20,—The Russians were en-
tertained by the municipal authorities at
the town hall last evening. These author-
ities are socialists, but they did not hesi-
tate to lavish every luxury upon the emcers
of the Russian autocrat. More than 2,400
cray fish were used for the bisque soup, 25
deer were kllled'to supply the course of
venison, and 95 waiters were kept busy
serving the wines and choice dishes.

President Carnot presided, and among
the 546 guests were all the members of
his military household. The table of honor
had the form of a horseshoe. Carnot sat
in the place of honor; at his right Premier
Dupuy and Baron Mohreuheim, at his left,
the prefect of the Seine, and Admiral Ave—
lan. Long curved lines of ministers, dep-
uties and Russian officers stretched away
on each side from the place of Mohrenlieim
and Avelau.

The usual tests were given and answered
with the usual cordiality. Coffee was
served in the Salle des Prevots, while a
military band played. As the army of
lackeys cleared the room, the diners
watched from the windows a great torch-
light procession of choral societies, accom-
panied by bands and troops, march across
the Place de la Hotel de ville. Large
gilded ships filled with orchestras and
children’s choruses were pushed into the
open space before the town hall.

The delight of the throngs in the streets
and on the roofs seemed boundless.

The Figaro, with the assistance of Sarah
Bernhardt, Sybil Sanderson and Yvette
Guilbert, will give an entertainment for
the Russians before they leave.

The enthusiasm has not. shown a. sign
that Paris is tiring of the ‘fetes. Flowars
have been strewn before the horses of
Avelan’s carriage wherever he has gone.
Scores of well-dressed Parisians have burst
through the police line to shake hands with
the Russians.

-MARSHAL lil’l‘IAI-ION'S FUNERAL.

 

It \Vill Be National, Partially at the
Czar’s Request.

PARIS, Oct. 20.-The cabinet decided
last night that Marshal MacMahon should
have a. national funeral from the Eugllse,
des Invalides on Sunday, as the czar has
manifested a wish that Admiral Avelan
and the other Russian officers shall pay
last honors to the dead soldier.

PARIS, Oct. 20.—The arrangements for
the funeral of Gen. MacMahon have now
been completed. According to the pro-
gramme the body wfll be conveyed from
the chateau in which the general died to
the Town church at Montcresson, where
it will remain until nightfall in order that
visitors may take a last look at the illus-
trious dead. After dark it will be removed
to a lateral chapel where it will remain
until taken to Paris for interment in the.
Englise des Invalides.
