THE FAVORITE HOME PAPER. ff/ Independent in all things: Rental in nounn. //’//W The Gazette has the largest cir- Daper in Norwalk, culation of any I lowest advertising and furnishes the ' Grumman’s Hill. , The suggestion that the town of Nor- walk purchase Grumman’s Hill and have that conspicuous and historically important spot, where Tryon sat and viewed his troops sack and burn Nor- walk, utilized as a site at its apex for a soldiers’ monument, seems to meet wnth universal approval. This high eleva- tion, crowned with a suitable monu- ment, would rival New Haven’s East Bock. Yale’s Victory. That great event of college athletics, the Yale-Harvard senior race, was rowed yesterday on the Thames, and the blue crossed the finish line ahead of the crimson, as it has done for the past three years. Yale also won the trian- gular freshmen race, the blue and white of Columbia coming in a good second. . . Harvard was emphatically not “init’ in the university race. In truth, 1t~is only by liberal courtesy that it can be called a race at all. To all intents and purposes the Yale eight might as well live rowed over the course all by themselves and proclaimed a victory, for they crossed the finish-line nearly twenty boat-lengths ahead of the cum- son crew. Yale has won the univerSity race so regularly that the contest has become little more than a matter of form ; for since 1885 Harvard has car- ried off the honors just cnce. Still the degree of interest felt in the uni- versity race is undiminished, judging from the crowds that flock to the shores of the Thames year after year. The Harvard shooters, however, must be getting discouraged. ’——’-—‘ I . Yale Crew’s New Captain. Immediatel after the boat race at New Londonfron Thursday, B. Arm- strong, ’95, S., of Hampden, Va., was elected captain of the Yale crew for next year. .__———-———-<+ Great Luck. Howard F. Earle was out for a day’s black fishing, on Thursday, in _his vacht, with a young friend from .New York. They fished just off the spindle. at' the end of Sheflield’sreef and caught some twenty-five to thirty black fish, one Whopper, probably a grandfather- among black fish, as it was estimated to weigh not less than twelve pounds. . Tweedlede and TWeedledum. ' A few weeks since George Finch gave Charles Bennett such a drubbing that he was laid up in bed for several days. He escaped with a fourteen dollar fine and costs. One day this week Mrs. McCarthy ordered a loafer out of her yard", and he refused to go. She 'then struck him with a stone. She was ar- rested, and fined $7 and costs and sent to jail for 30 days. __’———‘0 His Condition Serious. The condition of William Morrissey, whose head was almost pounded to a jelly with a creme de menthe bottle wielded by Proprietor “Bob” Adams, of the Tremont hotel. Tuesday night, was Thursday reported to be still 'iti- cal. Adams, who was also badly cut with abottle by Patrick Morrissey, is reported to have temporarily left town. ——Farmer. A Trainmen’s Outing.- xThe trainmen and other empgiyes of the Danbury division of the onsoli- dated road are arranging for a big out- ing'bn the sound next Sunday. They - have chartered the sloop John H. and will sail across to Long Island. On their return they will go. to Calf Pas- ture beach, where a ball game will be played and a shore dinner will be dis- posed of. Arrangements have been made to entertain a party of fifty. Assaulted a Reporter. Albert Rosenthal, a Hartford“ man, assaulted Thomas McCann, a reporter, - because he had written an article about him. Rosenthall was found guilty of assaulting McCann 1n the Hartford po- lice court and Judge Barbour fined him $500 and costs. When the atten- tion of the judge was called to the fact that the fine was greater than he had authority to impose, he changed it to $200 and six months in jail. Lacerated His Hand. A lad named-Edward Kenneyem- ployed at Hale’s drug store met With a serious accident Thursday afternoon. He was engaged in putting up vaseline in two ounce bottles. He picked up a cork that was a trifle too large for one of the bottles and in order to insert it pressed down with the palm of his right hand on the both. The bottle - broke and his hand coming in contact with the ragged edge of the glass ww badly cut. Dr. Walter Hitchcock dressed the wounded member.- It will be several days before the hand will be of an y particular use to its owner. REQQLLEQTIONS _ WAR “.__.nnnnnsnnnnnnn ‘ BY THE Editor of the Gazette. —+ Copyrighted 181-34. CHAPT Tilt Ii. So thick was the cloud of onComing events, leading up from Lincoln’s iu- auguration to the first combined test of .the military strength of the Union and rebel forces, that only the briefest ref- erence to those most important, can be given. The careful student of our War history of that period is, how'ever, already familiar with all the more sali- cut-events. President Lincoln’s first and prompt proclamation, calling for three months tr00ps, sent a thrill of exultant confi- dence through the North and was re. spondedto by the states with wonder- ful celerity. His next call for troops and proclamatiOn convening the thirty. seventh Congress in extra session on the coming fourth of July, also stirred to the deepest depths the inspirations of our loyal people’s patriotism. At this extraordinary session of Congress twenty-three states were represented in the Senate 'by forty Senators, and twenty-two states and one territory in the House, by a hundred and fifty-four Representatives, on the first day of its session, which was, as I now recall it, on Thursday. The two Carolinas, Geor- gia, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Ark. ansas, Mississippi, and Virginia, had no representatives in - either house. Tennessee had only Andrew Johnson in the Senate. Vice-President Hamlin was President of the Senate, and Ga- lusha A. Grow, recently returned to the present House by nearly two hun- dred thousand majority, was elected Speaker. On the second day of the session Lincoln sent to Congress his first memorable message. He called for four hundred thousand men and $400,000,000 as he said to “give the legal means for making this contest a short » and decisive one. a * * Aright result at this time will be worth more to the world than ten times the men and ten times the money. * * * This is essen- tially a People’s contest on the side of the Union * * "-‘ whose leading object is to elevate the condition of men, to lift weights from the shoulder of all, * * 4" to clear. the paths of laudable pursuits for all, to afford all an unfettered start, and a fair chance in the race of life. This is the leading object of the Gov- ernment for whose exnstence we con- tend.” * * “The Executive “desires to preserVo'the Government that it may be administered for all as it was in. tended to be administered, by the men who made it. * * * The Constitution provided, and all the states have ac- cepted the provision, ‘that the United States shall guarantee to every state in the Union, a republican form of gov- ernment.’ * * * As a private citizen, the Executive could not have consented that these institutions shall perish, much less lcould he,yin, betrayal of so vast and so sacred a trust as these free people had confided to him. He felt that he had no moral right to shrink, nor even count the chances of his own life, in what might follow. In full view of his great responsibility he has so far done what he deemed his duty. _You will, now, according to your own judg- ment, perform yours, * * * and. hav- ing thus chosen our cause Without guile, and with a pure purpose, let us renew our trust in God, and go forward Without fear and with manly hearts.” This message, with its extraordinarily forcible and cogent reasoning and un- answerable logic, is worthy repeated readings, as it is an epitome of the whole case of the Union and of seces- sion. Aware of the then existing con- spiracies for his assassination and those that had been already discovered and thwarted, was not Lincoln’s reference to his disregard of his own life in the performance of duty," prophetic words in view of his subsequent murder by Booth? . The Union forces had_encountered several minor confiictsw1th the rebel forces and suffered a number of unim- portant defeats, but nothing, up to the assembling of Congress, in the Way of armed engagements between the bong- erents, had amounted to much more than a good sized skirmish fight. We had Gen. LyOn’s stampede of the rebels in southwestern Missouri; Patterson’s and McClellan’s reconnoissances and skirmishes with the enemy in Maryland and West'Virginia; Butler’s defeat at Big Bethel; Gen. Schenck’s defeat in a skirmish just across the Potomac from Washington; a full exposure and defeat of the plot- to dash a. rebel force into .Washington from Arlington, to destroy the President, Cabinet, and the public propert of the Capital city. But all these gents were significant only of the blood-thirsty purposes of the seces- sionists to resist to the last extremlty all efi'o'rts to prevent ’the accomplish- ment-of their purpose for the dissolu- tion of the Union. Nevertheless, many precious lives had been sacrificednn these conflicts and more of our soldier boys had sickened and died in hospio tale, and many homes were made deso- late, and all over the N orth “the mourn- ers went about the streets.” About this period, an ‘association of Connecticut residents in Washington, in which I became an active partia- pant, was organized for the ccor of any of'our troops that mfg t, from sickness or wounds, require assistance. Admiral Foot-«, of New Haven, was elected Pres‘dent of this body, and . NORWALK, CONN. FRIDAY JUNE 29, .l 894. Governor Buckingham gave the a gen-- eral commission to render any needed and to our sick and wounded men, whether in Washington. at the front. or_wherev they might be. This com- mission 1 retained until the close of the war. and wherever any considerable expense was necessarily incurred, as in the case of a private burial“, or the sending home of a disabled soldier, or a body, the Governor always insisted on_ refunding the money, which I am quite confident he generally, if not al- ways, did from his own private means. Surely there was no nobler, more earn- estlv patriotic and generous Executive of the loyal states, in the bright and illustrious galaxy of “War Governors,” than. William A. Buckingham of Con- necticut. Peace to his ashes and the blessnngs of every surviving soldier of ~ our state, rest upon his honored grave. A few secessionists, or “copper-head democrats,” as then called, had still tarried, superfluous, in Congress, and were quite free in announcing their sympathies with their disunio breth- own in the South. Of these esse D. Bright, of Indiana, was expelled in the spring of 1862; Powell and Breckin- ridge had been expelled the December previous; Polk and W. P. Johnson. of Missouri, were expelled in January; “Ben.” Stark, of New London, Con- necticut, had drifted to Oregon, and was by the Governor of Oregon, ap- ponnted to take the place of Soldier- Senator Baker; Stark was the subject of an investigation,_and a long and se- vere resolution declaring his disloyalty and treasonable utterances prior to his entering the Senate, 'was reported by John Sherman, and Mr. Sumner re- ported another for his expulsion which failed to pass by five votes. Represent- ative Burnett, of Kentucky, was ex- pelled from the House, as was Reid, of Missouri. Our 0. S. Ferry had been replaced in the House By Judge George C. Woodrufi', of Litchfield, and John Woodrufi' by James E. English, of New Haven, and quite a number of political changes against the Republicans had occurred in other Northern states, caus- ing much anxnety, because interpreted to mean a change or‘ cooling of the loy- al enthusiasm which had previously run so high. These fears proved un- founded, as some of the strongest de- fenders the 'Union cause had in Con- gress, as well as in the field, were men who previously had been prominently recognized as democrats.- Stephen A. Douglass, who was cut off in the midst of this congress and his prime, was a notable instance of loyalty and love for the Union; John Hickman William D. Kelly, of Penn- sylvania, and John A. Logan, of Illi- lin01s, were other conspicuous iii~ stances of able and unswerving ad- herence to the Union cause. Every act and effort made in Con- gress to raise men and means to put. down the slave-holder’s rebellion, was promptly met at Richmond, by more extreme measures. Jeff. Davis and his rebel government, felt sure that they had the Unionists- at a disadvantage, and he. and they were largely justified in their belief. Davis had been schooled ‘in the art of war at West Point, at the Nation’s expense. He had been succes- sively Secretary of War, on the War Committee while in 'the Senate, and knew of his personal knowledge where to lay siege to the best military men and material in the United States ser- vice, and he had for years exercised all the powers of his personal magnet- ism, over many of “the brightest and best of our Army officers, with the universally conceded purpose, of draw- ing all such that he possibly could away from their allegiance to the Govern- ment that had educated them, over to the side of the South, to be used when- ever the secession conspiracy should- break out into open revolt against the old Union. Through the traitorous thieving of Floyd, he had also secured for the South the best and most de- structive munitions of war. Touey had aided him to the extent of sending off about every effective naval vessel, so as to fall easy prey to the rebels. It was a disheartening condition that Secretary of the Navv Gideon Welles, had to report-to the President, on as- suming control of that Department. Some three hundred naval officers had left the service and lied to Richmond to offer their services to the new-born Confederacy. As e once told me, whenever he sent out any old tub left the Government, on blockading, or other duty, he usually had to send two more to watch its Commander to see that he did not sail it right into some rebel port and surrender ship and crew to the Nation’s enemy. Ten naval vessels, carrying in all some threehundred guns, were bloclfi aded in the Norfolk Navy Yard, by the rebels sinking old hulks in the channel, to prevent these ships from getting out, and finally over ten millions of public property here had to be burned and blown 'up to prevent .it falling into the hands of the rebels. The Secretary of War found his de- partment even more crippled by trea- son. that had been p'ermitted to run riot in every branch of the Army. The Nation’s old and tried hero of many wars, Gen. Scott, had been hur- ried to Washington by the loyal ele- ment, newly infused into Buchanan’s Cabinet, just prior to his administra-j, tion’s close, for the purpose of having him see toa proper protection to the National Capital, by creating and man- ning safe and suitable lines of fortifi- cations about ~the City. Gen. Scott planned and his subordinates executed this mission, ably and effectively. ' But he was a man of immense weight and frame, of advanced age, and a man 0 enormous appetite. This habit of stom- ach overindulgence reacted on. the brain, and caused him to fall asleep on his home. It soon became apparent that he' must be replaced by younger and more active military chieftains, this was not attempted, however, until a most promising officer, and favorite of his, Gen. Irwin McDowell, ‘had been selected to prepare a-plan of at- tack upon a large rebel force that Davns was fast concentrating, under com- mand of Beauregard, across the Poto. mac,_and menacing the city of. Wash- ingioh, from Alexandria, up the west shore of that river as far as Harper’s Ferry, with the evident purpose of daShing'across at the first‘ favorable Spot andmoment, and attemptihg the consummation of the settled rebel pur-q .pose to capture the Capital. . McDowell elaborated a plan of cam- Palgn that met the heartiest approval of not only his chief, Gen. Scott, but of all the best military authorities in and about Washington at the time. This plan. in brief, was to fell upon the enemy’s front at Centreville, with the main Union column, and have Gen. Patterson, who was guarding Harper’s Ferry, with some ten thousand men, march down on the flanks and rear of Beauregard’s army, and thus with these two armies, to crush the superior force of Beauregard. But Patterson soon found himself confronted with a rebel force of from five to seven thousand more and better equipped troops than his own, between his forces and Mc- Dowell’s; These troop; were under command of that able and wily Con- federate officer, Gen. Joseph E. John- ston. ‘ ETraitors in the \Var Department, in the telegraph service, in our army it- seif, served to keep the enemy even better posted in regard to all our pro- prosed army movem ts, than were most of our own ofllc s. The New York daily papers used to reach Washington in those days, about four o’clock every afternoon, and be- fore dark they were smuggled by trai- tOrs across the Potomac and any im- portant contents telegraphed to Rich- =mond. The enemy there was better informed of the strength and pos1tions of: McDowell’s and Patterson’s forces d their contemplated plans of unitgd anon, than'was either one of the if ion Generals while separated from the "other. ’ ' Gen. McDowell estimated the rebel force he Would have to engage, as fully twenty-five thousand, and Centreville as the probable spot where they might be expected to make their stand. To meet this army of the enemy, he re- ported to Gen Scott, on the twenty- fourth of June, that with twelve thou- sand infantry, two batteries, six or eight companies of cwalry, and a re- serve of five thousand, ready to move in any direction and at any moment re- quired, after the engagement should open, he could by immediately attack- ing the enemy at Centreville, confi- dently hope for success. He was care- ful to state, however, that “Johnston’s forces at or near Harper’s Ferry, must be held there by Gen. Patterson, and the rebel forces on the James river, de- fending Bichmond, must be kept en- gaged by Gen. “Butler, so that the enemy cannot increase Beauregard’s army more than ten thousand, or to a total of thirty-five thousand men.” This proved to be just about the nu- merical strength of the Confederates when the contest opened, on July 2lst, 1801. An Early Won Honor. Notice has been received by Rev. Mr. Selleck that the youngest son of Brigadier General Bullard, who on Founder’s Day visited Norwalk, took the prize, this week, as extempore ora- tor at Union College. This successful contestant’s grandmother. Mrs. Han— nah Fitch Bullard, was one of the most remarkable women of northern New York. Stone’s history of Saratoga states that she was the third white fe- male born in Saratoga county north of the Kayadarrosseras River and, in fur- ther allusion to her age, the Saratoga county Standard mentions that upon the discovery of Congress Spring her parents took her to taste of its waters as they trickled down the rocks at the side of the brook. This mother of Generat Ballard, and great-grand- daughter of Gov. Thomas Fitch,. and idol of her vicinity contemporaries long stood—so runs an extract from her funeral oration—an object of grandeur upon the borders of the field where she had gleaned with a well directed hand until she was ready to pass" homeward with her bosom wellfilled with sheaves. She held a fan in her hand, the win- now‘ed chafi was cast away, but the golden grain was carefully garnered in her well stored treasure house; ' Her son was made happy last week by finding her grandfather’s tomb in good preservation in East~.Norwalk. Painters’ Convention. The semi-annual convention of the— Brotherhood of Decorators and Paint- ers of Connecticut was held in New Haven on Thursday. There were 64 delegates present from New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford, New Britain, Waterbury, Meriden,‘ Wallingford, Danbury, and Norwalk. The delegates reported their societies to be in good financial and social con- dition. Very few of their members have been obliged to lay off long dur- ing the financial depression, and at the present time they are unusually busy. The following officers were elected to serve six months: President, 0.: H. Porter, New Haven; vice president, W. A. Herbert; Waterbury; secretary, George Young, New Britain; treasurer, A.-J. McKeon, Bridgeport; sergeant- at-arms, F. F. Martindale, Meriden. , The quarterly meeting of the organ-~ izption will be held in Hartford the last .week.in September when a place for the semi-annual convention in January, ’95, will be selected. ‘ Shorter hours were talked of in an informal way and much was said that may lead to taking positive measures in regard to the matter at an early date. ‘It is not at all likely, however, that the movement will crystalize before the building. activity of 1895 begins. The members of these organizations are very reticent in regard to the subject but they admit that it is much discussed among them. . . . And the Thermometer at 90.

YALE WINS. I The Harvard Grew not ‘ Same Class. in the The Race Worse than a Procession . The predictions that little or no in- terest centered in the Yale-Harvard race this year was. disproved by the crowds that rolled into New London on the special trains and steamers yes- terday. Fully 30.000, people Saw the race and that figure is at least the aver. age, if not the maximum, for a Yale- Harvard ’varsity struggle on the Thames. Neither contesting college, however, seemed interested enough to send BvSiZable delegation. At 6:49 p. m., sixteen oars cleaved the water and Harvard’s lightly freight- ed boat shot ahead first. The start was the most remarkable piece of rowing in the race. Not a splash was perceptible on the side of either boat, although a quicker start has seldom been made. Harvard’s lead was aggravatingly short. Ten seconds was all the time allowed that crew. Then the shells slid along side by side, close under the lee of the west shore only 25 yards from the observation train, Harvard nearest the bank. _ Yale won the race before the first half mile was covered. The eight set- led into steady and magnificent form a hundred yards from'the start and ex- cept on'ce near the 1% mile post, held it till the finish. The stroke dropped to the regulation Bob Cook/four mile pace and Captain Johnson set it with the metrical exactness which has char- acterized half adozeniYale predeces. sors.‘ The half mile stake found Yale leading by a length and a half. Har- vard was moving toward the bank and losing ground and courage through poor steering. ' At the first mile flag the Yale lead had lengthened into the one of four lengths and it was evident that unless the bottom of the boat dropped out the Yale shell was destined for another vic- ory. When the boats passed the mile and a half post Yale was six lengths to the good and at the two mile stake, Yale led by ten lengths. At this stage of the funeral Coxswain Day, of Harvard, sfouud himself con- fronting the two mile flag. He swerved his shell quickly to the west, but his curves were ill planned for the star- board oars struck the stake. - This had no effect whatever on the result of the race—that is, it cost Har— vard only a couple of lengths, but as a sample of the style of work done it bears its own lesson. . Before the 2% mile flag was passed the breeze had died‘ down again and the rough water scare was over. . There were 12 lengths of clear water between the two shells and the Harvard men had gone completely to pieces. The Yale stroke was seen now at his prettiest and the octette of blades skim- med the water and cleaved it like nia- chinery. The .Yale men’s heads and backs swayed like automatons. Close by the three mile flag the shells entered the floating alley and salute upon salute greeted every foot of progress. Yale had gained another length when the three mile post was left behind and settled down for a sure, if not a brilliant finish, Captain Johnson let the stroke down a notch, but to do his best he could not help increasing Yale’s lead. Eight heads in the Harvard boat were bobbing about promiscuousl y. Bul- ‘lard’s time was reprehensible and he hung out over the side of the boat per- ceptibly. _ The Yale crew ceased Iqafing on the last half mile and shot down the home stretch for a graceful exhibition. The wind had stopped altogether and the finish was smooth as the oft spoken of mill pond. Yale crossed the line row- ing vigorously and in fine form. A deafening din greeted the conquer- ors, and they paddled about for some time waiting to hear the plaudits of the assemblage and to see the Harvard crew. Every man in the Yale boat appeared ' - fresh and in fine form, and, of course, jubilant, at the victory. Five of the Harvard men partialy col- lapsed-as their shell crossed the line. Fennessy, Davis and Stevenson were the only members who could hold their seats. At the start both crews rowed a 40 stroke, Yale dropping to 36 and Harvard to-37when under way. This lasted a mile and ‘a half. Then Yale fell to 35 and Harvard to 36. On the last mile Yale drOpped the stroke to 32 and Har- vard to 34. _ The morning race of two miles was between the freshmen crews of Yale, Harvard and Columbia College. The start was made at 11:23. Yale won by Columbia led to the mile and a half, when Yale easily shot ahead and remained there. The time was Yale 11: 15, Columbia 11: 21 and - Harvard 11: 58. . A Heavy Sentence. Justice Austin, Thursday afternoon, found Mrs. Lizzie McCarthy guilty of an assault on ' the notorious “Jim” Ellis and fined her $7 and costs and sentenced her to thirty days in jail. She took an appeal and the Justice placed the bonds at 8300. The prison- er was unable to procure that amount- of bonds she was lodged in the station- house for the night. Mrs. McCarthy has two or three small .children._ The judgment is rather severely criticized by those acquainted with the facts in the case.
