The Tariff Bill.
The tariff situation at Washington is
still the subject of conflicting rumors.
The House caucus which Mr. Springer
proposed to call has been postponed on
the assurance that the democratic con-
ferees are approaching a compromise.
It is generally believed that if the
House meets in caucus the Sugar Trust
will be able to induce it to vote in favor
of tne acceptance of the Senate bill as
it stands.
Among the compromises is one for a
specific instead of an advalorem duty
on sugar, for a graduated sugar bounty
and an annual decrease in the Senate
rates on coal and iron. It is entirely
safe to predict that the Senate will not
accept any change in the sugar sched-
dule that will not give the trust what it
wants. It will, of course,readily agree
to non-essential modifications of the
sugar schedule, but nothing affecting
the substance of that schedule can be
eliminated from itoso long as the trust
dominates the action of the Democratic
Senators.
Whatever the outcome may be, the
Republican Senators are likely to
unite in a determination to defeat the
tariff bill, with its odious income tax
rider and its greedy Sugar Trust sched~
ule. For nearly a month the bill has
been in the hands of the Democratic
conferees, and little progress has been
made. The Republican Senators, there-
fore, ha‘ve abundant justification for
devoting a month, or two, or three
months longer to the discussion of the
bill when it comes back to the Senate.
The time has come to kill this tariff '
iniquity and thus to maintain the policy
of protection under which the indus-
tries of the land have always prospered.
and will surely continue to prosper.

The Lights Went Out.
During the rain storm this morning
‘there was an unusually vivid flash of
lightning, followed by two reports
sounding like the firing of a pistol, and
a flame of fire seemed to whirl through
the air on Wall street. At the time, a
young man named James McQuillan
stood near Betts & Farrington’s store.
He was seen to turn around in a dazed
manner, and then run down Water
street as if thrown from a catapult.
After the storm he said, “A sheet of fire
came straight at me and as soon as I
got my senses I skipped out of its
reach. I never was so frightened in my
life." The incandescent lights in a
trolley car on East avenue were extin-
guished and the car stopped by the
lightning, as was another car near the
Danbury railroad depot.

OFA
WAR

CHAPTER XV.
Up to three o’clock of the afternoon
of the Bull Run battle, all the indica-
tions clearly promised a Union victory,
despite the fact that our troops were
fighting not. only Beauregard’s troops
but the upper Potomac army of J obn-
ston, which Patterson had been ordered
to keep engaged, and which he, in the
most positive terms, had promised
should not elude him and slip away to
reinforce the rebel troops at Bull Run.
There has always been an unexplained
mystery as to Patterson’s conduct in
this matter. Nor has General Scott’s
slowness and even aversion to sending
reinforcements to McDowell after
he suspected that Johnston had
eluded Patterson, ever been satisfac-
torily explained. Scott was accused of
dotage and Patterson of being so
strongly pro slavery as to be half way
disloyal. He had with him a kindred
spirit in Fitz John Porter, who subse-
quently re-enacted the same role in the
Pope campaign. Be these facts as they
may, between the action, or rather
non-action, of both Scott and Patterson
our defeat at Bull Run was rendered
inevitable.
On July 18th General Scott tele-
graphed Patterson at Charlestown: “I
have certainly been expecting you to
beat the enemy. You have been at
least his equal. and I suppose his su-
perior in numbers. Has he not stolen
a march and sent reinforcements to-
ward Manassas?” To this Patterson
replied: “I‘he enemy has stolen no
match on me. I have kept him active-
ly employed and caused him to be re-
inforced,” etc. At this very moment
he knew that he had deliberately
manhed his main army twelve miles
away from the forces of Johnston in
his front, thus leaving him at‘liberty to
reinforce Beauregard or go where he
pleased, without hindrance from our
troops.
So grave was the appearance at least,
of a willingness to have McDowell de-
feated, that Congress immediately at-
tempted an investigation. Patterson’s
conduct was so inexplicable and disas~
trous that special efforts were made to
fathom it. General Sanford of New
York, second in command under Pat-
terson, testified before the Congres-
sional Committee that “their army at
Martinsburg consisted of over 20,000
fighting men; that he expressed his
anxiety .to Patterson lest Johnston
should escape them; that he was willing
to risk engaging Johnston’s forces with
his own command of 8,000 men, in an
effort to get between his army and Ma.-
nassas, rather than let him escape, as
clearly seemed to be Johnston’s pur-
pose; that Patterson ordered him to
move twenty-two miles away from
Winchester and Johnston’s position,
and which left him free to make his
escape, which he did.”
At all events, the major portion of
Johnston’s army reached hianassas on
Friday and the last of his troops, some
eight. or nine thousand men, reached
the Bull Run battle field in the midst
of the fight on Sunday afternoon. They
were hurried out the cars and rushed
into the hottest of the fight on our
right and Beauregard’s left, when the
rebels were being routed and fleeing
from the field as our exhausted troops
did a hall" hour later, or a little before
four o‘clock.
The lliishmond Di patch, in its re-
port of the fight, giv 5 this account of
it, in part- :
“Between ‘3 and :3 o’clook'iargo nun-.—
licrs of our men were leaving the field.

a- As the fresh bri—
gado of lilrby inniii‘n pitched into the
fight, he became equally elated, as
educatml soldier as he runs, his quick
eye soon discerned that the exhausted
Union troops must soon break away.
They had been marching and fighting
for thirteen hours without food or
drink and nearly suffocated with" pow-
der smoke and dust, the tongues of
many were swollen out of their mouths
with intense heat and thirst. These
fresh reinforcements, striking us in
front and flank, soon broke our grand-
ly maintained lines. Flesh and blood
could endure no more. Spartan hero-
ism was unable to longer hold out.
The Union Army fled the field. There-
upon Jeff Davis sent his memorable,
lying dispatch to his confederate cons
rebel forces had driven the Union
troops precipitately from the field, that
their troops numbered 15,000 and ours
35,000. As his army did not find it
prudent to follow up the Union stam-
pede and capture our fugitive men, it
is scarcely worth the time and space to
criticise his gross prevarication, delib-
erately penned in order to magnify, be-
tyoud all decency, their conceded vic-
on.
If Patterson’s permitting the escape
of J ohnston’s army from Martinsburg
and getting to Bull Run without his
knowmg it, was an unsolved mystery, 9.
still graver one was why General Scott
permitted not less than 20,000 militia-
men to remain idle in and about the
defences of Washington with nevera
man ordered to the front to assist Mc-
Dowell, although all day long on that
fateful_Sunday the guns of the battle
were distinctly heard at the capital.
'l‘rue‘fjteneral Scott did not positively
know that J ohnston’s army had eluded
Patterson and reinforced Beauregard,
but he more than suspected it. Besides
President Lincoln and Secretary of
War Cameron made personal visits to
Scott and urged that at least half the
force ostensibly protecting Washing-
ton should be dispatched to McDowell.
The old general thought that over and
above all things else the National Capi-
tal should be protected and admitted
his, fears that Johnston’s army might
sw00p down from the upper Potomac
and capture the city. Alas, alas, if this
or that thing had been done or not
been done, how different would results
have been in all our defeats. Itwas an
“if” that always hampered or defeated
the Union Arms.
Stamford Dissatisfied.
The delegates from Stamford to the
Firemen‘s convention—Messrs.Baldwin
Moyes and Mitchell—came home much
dissatisfied. and with a queer story
about the meeting of the Fairfield
County representatives called to nomi-
nate a vice-president. Chief Prowitt of
Norwalk, presided at this meeting, or
caucus. The candidates were Palmer
of Bridgeport and Chief Bowman of
Stamford. The chairman called for a
show of hands, and then declared that
Palmer had received 20 votes and Bow-
man 18. The Stamford delegates and
others,who held the result should have
been reported by tellers, appealed from
the decision of the chair, and some of
them said there was a mistake in the
court. But the appeal was not put,and
Prowitt declared the meeting adjourn-
ed amid confusion—Stamford Advocate
O
Fireman’s Convention.
Thursday, the last day of the conven-
tion of the State Firemen’s association
was devoted almost entirely to business.
At 10:30 o’clock the convention was
called to order by President Smith.
The president appointed the following
committee on resolutions: Prowrtt of
Norwalk, Murphy of Danbury, Morris-
son of Thompsonville. Five. ballots
were cast for the delegate to the nation-
al convention, and as a. result of the
final ballot Chief Wagner of Bockville,
was elected, the vote standing Wagner
00, Smith 48.
There were charges made of stuffing
the ballot boxes in the first ballots that
were taken, so that the last ballot was
taken by roll call.
An invitation from the department
of South N orwalk, asking the associ-
ation to hold its next meeting there,
was accepted and the convention will
meet there in August 1895.
The amount of benefit paid each child
of a deceased fireman was raised from
$1.50 to $2.00.
The convention adjourned to meet
again in August, 1805. The day of the
meeting is yet to be fixed.

ments on the property of the missing
Henry Ochs, as follows: Nash & Van
Scoy $100, M. T, Hatch 830, Luther
