To the Brooklyn Union and to a Brooklyn sharp, is the country indebt- ed for a novel and important discovery, » of a'method of putting to practical use‘ the waste electricity which the trolley system is so bothered to safely run ofi’ its iron tracks by ground wire. This is the Brooklyn merchant’s account of his discovery: “You see that air cooler,” said he, as he pointed to a rapidly revolving elec- tric air fan. “Well, it den’t cost me a cent to run that. You might say I steal the electricity, but then you know I wouldn’t do that. You see the entire street in front of all stores where the trolley runs, is saturated with electrici- ty. Now I, like several others, have taken advantage of this condition of affairs. One of the wires from that electric fan runs down to the gas pipe in my cellar. The other is attached to the water pipe, and here I have the negative and positive poles, and, of course, the circuit is formed. You can see for yourself that the current is sufficient to send the motor of the elec- tric fan around at a lively rate. Now, that motor is a 1.12 horse power, but I am s'ure the current is strong enough to run a 3 or 4 horse-power motor. But, then, that doesn’t bother me, for I am not in the manufacturing business, and all I want to use the electricity for at present, is to keep cool this summer. I may, however, run a sewing machine with the current. Yes; the trolley is a great thing. and I am glad the people have got it.” ‘ The reporter traced the wires from the electric fan to the cellar, and found that they were attached, as stated, to the gas and water pipes respectively. The reporter also discovered that the waste electricity is being utilized in a couple of saloons, and in a jewelry store. In every case the wires are sim- ply attached to the gas and water pipes. . That Little Escapade. ; It will be remembered that the two sons of Henry Dalley, J r., a wealthy New Yorker who spends his summers in Ridgefield. went on a wild west hunt two weeks ago, and shot at everything in sight in the shape of domestic ani- mals and fouls, in West Mountain dist- rict, near Ridgefield, and succeeded in killing a large amount of live stock. The little escapade of the two boys was immediately followed by Mr. Dal- ley receiving a flood of claims for dam. ' ages from the parties whose stock had been killed. He "made no delay in set- tling the claims and paid several hun- dred dollars for his son’s sport. . It turns out now that he was too hasty in settling and in some cases, it soon transpired, he had paid a great .deal more to the owner of an animal that was killed than the animal was worth. He is now bringing suits against those who charged him exhorbitantly. Ed. Nichols, whom he paid $550 for the loss of a colt, he has sued as it is claimed the animal was not worth any such figure. There will soon be:a hear- ing on the suit. Pugilistic Bridgeport. At Seymour Thursday night, a pn- gilistic carnival was held to determine whether Waterbury or Bridgeport had the better men with the gloves. A big crowd was present and the Bridgeport boys won everything easily. It took less than a round for Harry Lane to best Jack Lynch of Nauga- tuck. Lane knocked Lynch out a few seconds ,, after the latter put up his hands. . ' Ike Williams had a go with Tom ‘ Magnet of the Brass city and easily got the decision without half trying. Fred. McGirr next showed Jack Nel- son of Waterbury that the latter wasn’t in his class. Fred made it very warm for Nelson and could have put him to sleep at any period of the-contest. Buck Taylor had a bout with George Bess of the Naugatuck valley metrop- olis and captured the decision. That Soldiers Monument. MB. EDITOR :—I want to express my earnest approval of your suggestions for 9. “Norwalk soldiers’ Monument,” but will you permit me to name even a better place than that you sug‘ eat. “at, or on the high-grounds bac of the Armory.” I would urge that the town purchase Grumman’s Hill and on its apex,erect a commemoration shaft that can be seen from every part of Norwalk. To me, and to many others, it secms1 like sacrilege, that this spot of such im- portant Revolutionary interest, should. be:only utilized as a' gravel supply. ' Cnnmcus.

President Lincoln, immediately upon his inauguration, took up the heavy burden of contending with the rapidly augmenting volumn and intensity of the secession conspiracy, left as an in- heritance by Buchanan. The execu- tive session of the Senate, thoughtfully and amiably called by the Ex-Presi- dent, could not legislate and served only the convenience of promptly con- firming Lincoln’s Cabinet Ministers. It brought to that body, however, sev- eral new, strong, and loyal members. Salmon P. Chase was sworn in as Sena- tor from Ohio on the first day, and left the next, to take the Secreta‘ryship of the Treasury, his seat in the Senate being immediately filled by John Sher- man; Judge Ho'we came in from Wis- consin, and that gallant soldier and brilliant orator, Col.,E. D. Baker, ap- peared from far-off Oregon. Baker’s fame had filled the country by his im- passioned and surpas'singly eloquent in- vective over the “assassination” as he phrased it, of his California friend, Senator Broderick, “slain because of his hostility to slavery.” He was the most unique figure who ever took seat in the American Senate. One of his first acts on reaching Washington, was to raise a regiment of Pacific coast men. for the war, and he, one day, entered the Senate and occupied his seat at. tired in the full uniform of a Colonel of Infantry, with his sword laid across his desk! Instigated by this unusual event in the Senate, or by the devil, Kentucky’s tardy traitor, Senator Breckinridge, rose and, delivered one of his treasonable speeches, for which he had become noted. This fired the impetuous Baker’s loyal indignation and he rose and poured out a torrent of terrible invective, with the annihilating force of hot shot and canister, on the Kentuckian’s scarlet face and head. Said he, in his withering climax of con- temptuous resentment: “Are not these speechesof the Senator from Kentucky intended to animate our enemies ? Are they not words of treason, uttered in the very Capitol of the Republic?” Had a cannon-ball crashed through the Senate Chamber, the effect would not have been more startling, on the floor or in the galleries, than were these hot words from the fiery soldier-Sena- tor, uttered with a terrible intensity that cannot be described. Alas! that this gifted young statesman and illus- trious Union soldier. with lips annoint~ ed with almost superhuman eloquence, was so soon to be stricken down by the rebel foe, and his silent tongue never again “the applause of listening Sen- ates to command.” . In the House, as Representative Miles Taylor of' Louisiana, left his seat to join the rebel forces, he indulged in a s1milar ebulition of treason, which was responded to with vehement indignation by grand old F. E. Spinner, then Congressman from New York, and later United States Treasurer, from 1861 to 1875. . ‘ In January Jeff. Dav1s, unable longer to control Buchanan, with most of his rebel co-conspiraters for very shame’s sake, abandoned their seats in the Sen- ate. The delegations from the seceded states also withdrew from_the House, all apparently having remained in Con- gress in the capacity of active spies against the Government they had taken themost solemn oath to protect and defend. And history does not record a single one of the unhung traitors, who did not draw from the treasury he was plotting todestroy, the last cent of pay, mileage. and perquisite, he could by any possibility grab. Clingman of North Carolina, who stuck to his seat and pay, till ignominiously expelled, has, since the overthrow of the rebel~ lion he did all he could to aid, shown his love for, at least, the Union Treas- ury, by presenting a claim for that por- tion of his salary as Senator, which by the expulsion he was prevented from earning and drawing. _ Nevertheless, the most abjectly des- picable traitor. and thief was Floyd, of Virginia! He was appointed Secretary of War by Buchanan, in March 1857, andalmost immediately began working ‘ with his confederates. in steadily with- drawing war materials and Union troops from all over the North, to strengthen Southern forts and arsenals. In 1859 he transferred one hundred and fifteen thousand muskets and rifles of the then most approved patterns, from the arsenals in Springfield and Water- town Massachusetts, and Watervliet, New York, to Alabama, Geor ia,_North and South Carolina, and ouisiana. He further sold for a ridiculously low price to the Southern states, and to in- dividuals at the South, one hundred and thirty-five thousand “altered and improved” muskets, under the thin pretext that he was disposing of nude- sirable arms. Thus it was that towns, cities, and states, and thousands of pri- vate individuals at the South, upon the appeal to war, were found to be abund- antly armed and equipped, while at the North, whole states _were practically devoid of all effective munitions of war. Thus it was that our “unseasoned” boys at Bull Run, found themselves (1 less effectively armed, less well drilled, , and not the average rebel soldier’s equal in saddle or on foot, in the fierce, brutal, bloody, first struggle of war. President Lincoln had called a spec- ial session of the Thirty-Seventh Con- gress, to convene on the fourth day of July. Despite the strange belief,‘still clung 'to by many at the North, that there really would not be any very ser- ious conflict, large numbers of others were impetuously urgent that the Gov- ernment should at ' once show its strength and administer a crushing blow of chastisement to these rebellious states. Yet, all over the North, the gravest solicitude was widely felt. A recruiting station was opened in the basement under the bookstore of Mr. Andrew _Selleck, in the GAZETTE building, while Capt. Fowler was act- ively engaged at South Norwalk, in recruiting members of his old com- mand and others, for a new company to be offered the Government to aid in the suppression of these southern hos- tilities. Hartford promptly appropriated $64,- 000, for war purposes and Norwich voted $14,000, to equip a company. while the Connecticut Legislature voted a loan of $2.000,000, to aid the crippled finances of the National Treasury. Other northern cities and states rapidly followed with eager profi'ers of men and money; and a great wave of in- tense, loyal enthusiasm swept all the North with the furor of a prarie-fire. Upon being released from service in the Clay Battalion, I had hurried to Senatorial duties at Hartford. Mean- time, reportorial obligations made it. needful to fly back and forth like a weaver’s shuttle, between Connecticut and Washington. One week I recall having made three of these trips, trav- eling by night and executing impera- tive trusts by day. While serving in the Clay Guards, Mr. O. S. Ferry and myself had hur- ried to Baltimore on the first tele- graphic tidings that Union troops pas- sing through that citv for the protec- tion of Washington, had been mur- dered bya mob of rebels there. We reached the Camden street depot of the B. & O. railroad just as the Massa- chusetts troops bore in their dead-com- rades. We then pressed our way through the excited mob that packed the streets from the depot up to Monu- ment Square, and listened to the trea- sonable threats of these infuriated reb- els. Getting the names of the killed and wounded, of whom there were four killed and thirty-six wounded of the Sixth. Massachusetts troops. Of Balti- morean rioters, nine had been killed and quite a large number wounded, after the Union troops had turned up- on them in defensive assault. The mob continued its excesses up to nearly dark, plundering gunsmith’s shops and hardware stores of guns, pistols, pitchi forks and pickaxes, while thousands of equally excited women filled the streets, screeching for vengeance on all Union- ists and for secession. Finally a seces- sion meeting was held in the Monu- ment Square at which the Mayor, a rebel sympathizer, promised the blood- thirsty mob, that if they would dis- perse and go to their homes, he would pledge them that no more Union sol- diers should be permitted to cross their city. This pledge, in a measure quieted them, but to make the promise more certain, numbers of the mob and others, proceeded out, a little after midnight, to Canton Bridge, over Gun- powder Creek, some three or four miles east of Baltimore, and burned it, and tore up the tracks, so that no train could get into Baltimore from the North by the Philadelphia and Wil- mington line. One such train was fired on in the night, and backed east- ward out of harm’s way. . While this destruction was going on, I was speeding my way through New Jersey, on. my way to the Tribune of- fice with the exciting news, which was spread before the readers of that en- terprising journal in full the next morn- me. In a few days Butler was placed in command in Baltimore, and the hot and crazy-headed rebels there, found it discreet to yield a submissive,thcugh sullen acquiescence to the reign of old “Ben’s” stern military law. Meantime, the Pennsylvania troops who had preceded those from Massa- chusetts, and so escaped the fury of the mob, had reached Washington and were quartered in the old hall of Rep- resentatives, to thwart the rebel plot to blow up the capitol, and on my return, I met New York’s crack Sev- enth regiment at the Annapolis station, whence they arrived from Perryville by steamer, awaiting transportation to the Capital. It is needless to add, that with the arrival of these northern troops in \Vashington, the long en- dured fears of the loyal people there were at once replaced by exultant hope. At this early date it was established that the assassination of Lincoln was one of the cherished purposes of the rebels, and scarcely a day passed that did not unearth some conspiracy for the looting and destruction of the Capitol, Treasury, White House Navy Yard, Arsenal and other public buildings. They were days of intensest mental strain and apprehension to every lover of liberty‘and the Union, and supreme- ly so to the President and all others in Washington in any way specially re- sponsible for the protection and preser- vation of the Government. The seces- sio'n fire-eaters seemed stubbornly deter- mined that Congress should never be per- mitted to convene in extra session on the 4th of July in compliance withthe Pres— ident’s call to prov1de for men and mon- ey to prosecute the war for the over- throw df their opened rebellion. The Charleston Mercury of April 22nd con- firmed what our own detectives had” discovered, as to the plot to assassinate the President. almost immediately after his inauguration. In an article headed “Lincoln a Usurper,” it concluded in these words :—‘fHe will deplore the ‘higher law’ which has’ governed his counsels. Seeking the sword, he may perish-by the sword.” And of such murderous iniquity was secessionborn and waged. AA' —Ladies, clean your kid gloves with Josephine glove cleaner, for sale only by J. A.

Mr. Clarke in a few well chosen rc- marks introduced Mayor E. O. Keeler who‘made an address of welcome from the grandlstand an formally declared the park open. As he finished his speech he threw a new ball out to the assem- bled ball players with the remark, “play ball.” - Prior to be inning the game Photo- grapher Reagman photographed the buildings, ball field, players and audi- ence; . 5, THE BALL GAME. Umpire Thomas Ward called play at 4 o’clock with the home team at the bat. The Alleghany’s were too strong for the home boys and easily defeated them. The playing of the Norwalk Park team was very “yellow” showing lack‘of practice and spirit. This will no doubt be promptly remedied and several new players added to the club. The decisions of the umpire were de- cidedly “off,” but both sides received an equal share of his rulings. In- the last inning of the game the home team rallied and made three runs but it was too late and the Alleghany’s won. The following is the score: NORWALK PARK. , - r. 1 13 no.
