"Step Stealing.”
“Stop stealing,” cries the'Hartford
Times, remarking on the recent numer-
ous instances of bank, municipal and
mercantile stealings. It adds that
“there are undoubtedly a hundred em-
ployees of corporations and business
firms as well as ofoliiciiils, who are now
stealing regularly.” Continuing, the
Times says that “stealing grows upon
the thief. If he begins at a dollar, he
soon wants two dollars, and then two
hundred dollars. The more he steals, '
the more he wants and the more he will
take wickedly.” But “one good result
follows,” adds our friend. “More care
is taken on every hand to stop the
stealing and expose the thieves.”
Just how this result follows from the
fact that a thief grows daily more ' of a
thief, we do not know, but are glad to
be assured that any good results follow
thieving, and adds the New Haven
Courier, “When the great crimes of
great rascals are visited according to
the measure of their Wickedness, there.
will be fewer great crimes.”
Finish Piping First.
Before action is taken for the can
struction of another storage reservoir
the City should complete its work of
laying the sixteen inch main. t was
laid from the Grape Reservoir down to
Daniel’s mill and there remain four
and three quarter miles more to be
rlaid to complete the line to our city’s
distributing reservoir. This will cost,
it is estimated, somewhere between
fifty-five and sixty thousand dollars.
What good sense is there in expending
for another reservoir, when we haven’t
the pipe capacity to bring down the
water we already have in storage.
Will some one explain?
Again, it is entirely practicable to
raise the Grupe and the Lewisboro
reservoir dams several feet more each
and at a very inconsiderable cost com-
pared to the construction of any new res-
ervoir. This raising of these dams
should be done in any casc, and why
not do this now and keep the new res-
ervoir scheme in abeyance, until after
our new line of sixteen inch main, al-
ready laid for some two miles, is com~
pleted down to our city distributing
reservorr. Begin at the rig end.

Obituary.
LOCKWOOD K. FERRIS.
I‘he venerable and esteemed Mr.
Lockwood K. Ferris, whose fatal ill-
ness “14.8 mentioned in these columns
on Saturday, passed peacefully away at
thirty minutes past three o’clock that
afternoon. Mr. Ferris was born in‘
Seneca County, N. Y., eighty-two years
ago. For some sixt years his home
was at North Wilto where be filled
the several town oflices of Justice of
the Peace, Town Treasurer Clerk, and
Selectman; and was for a long series of
years a deacon in the Wilton Congre-
gational church, and on several occas-
ions, we believe, represented Wilton in
the b’tate Legislature. For the last two
years he has resided with his daughter,
Mrs. L. W. hit-John, at No 150 Main
street, this city. He was the youngest
brother of the late Deacon Stephen S.
Ferris. of bomb Norwalk. An‘ only
sister, Airs. Mary Trowbridge, of Dan-
bury, survives him
Ashort service will be held at the
house of his sou-in-law Mr: St. John, at
which Rev. Mr. Watkins will ofiiiciate.
Funeral director J. D. Jennings will
then convey his remains to the Wilton
Congregational church, where a funeral
sci-Vice wall be conducted by the pastr
Rev. Mr Hart. followed by his
beside kindred in Wilton’s 1
Hillside cemetery.
Death came to him peacefully, at
a translation. He was the soul
honor, as true in his integrety, his love
of God and his fellow men, as the stars
in their courses. He enjoyed the love,
respect and confidence of all who ever
knew him, and he has left a memory
that will grow brighter unto the perfect
day. To his cniluren and friends only,
need sympathy be extended. They
will have many sincere sharers in the
sorrow in the sad bereavement that has
fallen upon them; but for the departed,
there is no cause for vain regrets. He
has entered into rest. He has put on
immortality. Peace to his ashes.

NATHAN G. BATCHELDER.
With rheumatism, come weak kid-
nevs, weak nerves, poor blood. ,Weak
kidneys mean death, becausc‘they lead
to serious kidney diseases, which al-
ways kill. The symptoms are weak
back, pain in the back, = bloating,
muddy water, tired and languid feeling
gas in the stomach,» loss of appetite,
coated tongue, bad taste in the mouth,
headache, dimness of vision, dryness of
skin, and nervousness. . "
Just so surely as you‘have these symp-
toms, your kidneys are out of order,
and you need the onetiure ‘cure, Dr.
Gree e’s Nervura blood and nerve
reme y. Try a bottle and see hov
quickly those symptoms w'ill vanish. It
cures rheumatism, a most dangerous
complaint, for it leadsto fatal heart
disease. Mr. Nathan G. Batchelder,
of Hardwick, Vt. writes:
“A year'ago I was badly bloated, and
it was said I was going. to die with the
dropsy. I commenced taki‘fig‘ Dr.
Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve rem-
edy. At that time I was a sight to be-
hold. My usual weight was 135 lbs.,
but I then weighed 185 lbs. from bloat-
ing. I also had rheumatism so that I
could not get into a slei h or wagon,
and was bent over badly. ' My stomach
was so bad that I could not digest my
food, and it pained me a good deal.
It had been in this condition for seven
years before I began to take Dr.
Greene’s medicine. but since taking it
I can eat as hearty a meal as anybody.
I have not been out for eight winters
until this winter, but this Winter I have
been out constantly, and took care of
my horse and driven frequently. After
I got out, many of my friends did not
know me I was so changed and looked
so well. .
For years I only ate one slice of bread
in. one day, and drank one or two cups
of tea, which was all I could eat. and
I sometimes suffered from that.
I was about as bad aused up man as
guests:

ever lived for a long time. and I ex-
pected to die anytime; but thanks to
Dr. Greene’s wonderful medicine, I am
greatly improved. '
Now all my bloat is gone and I am
as well of that as ever. My rheumatism
is pracncally gone, and my stomach is
sound and digests my food perfectly,
and I sleep soundly. The doctor who
treated me did me no good, and he
said I would not l‘ve six months, I was
in such bad order. Other doctors said
it was the most remarkable case they
had ever known, to have me come up
the way I did. My case is widely
known. ' . '
I can recommeudD’r.Green’s Nervura
blood and nerve remedy as the best
medicine I ever saw or heard of,and I wil
cheerfully answer any inquiries about
my case, but for seven years I could
not write mv name I was so trembly.
l\Ir.E.R. Kimball, druggist, of Hard]-
w1ck, says: “I knew of Mr. Nathan Gel
Batchelder’s remarkable case, and the
statement is true.”
It cures quickly and permanently,
rheumatism, neuralgia,kidney and liver
disease, and makes good blood and
strougnerves. Everybody, both phy-
sicians and the people everywhere ac-
knowledge Dr. Green’s Nervura blood
and nerve remedy to be the greatest
known cure for disease. People who
take it get well.
Why waste time in trying uncertain
and untried remedies when here is a
physician’s prescription, a discovery
made by the greatest living specialist
in curing nervous and chronic diseases,
Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th St. New
York City. It you take this medicine
you can consider yourself under Dr.
Greene’s direct professional care, and
you can consult him write to him about
your case, freely and without charge.
This is a guarantee that this remedv
will cure, pos.~essed by no other med-
icine in the world.
Flectric Cars on Steep inclines.
L'he application of electricity to loco-
.otion solved one ofthe vexatious prob-
acme unsolved by steam. It would pull
a car up an incline which'a steam loco-
motive could not ascend. But the elec-
trical engineers have solved only one?
half of their problem. Their motor will
pull cars up a steep hill in any kind of
weather, but it will not prevent the car
from running away on the downward
trip in icy weather.
The runaway accidents .on Sunday,
the one at Manayun‘k»and;the other at
Rondoul, N. 1‘ , both from'the same
cause—icy 2-...cks on a steep incline—-
illustrate U‘ o delfec‘, and as they were
repetitions of numerous" similar‘acci-
dents, call very kindly for'extra pre-
cautions for the sal‘ Lty of cars and pas-
sengers on ad uloctl‘lc railway lines con-
taining steep grades.
It is probable that most ‘of the acci-
dents of this nature Which have so far
occurred are due to the use of cars
which have been equipped for ordinary
street surface tracks containing no un-
usually heavy grades. The tendency
in the introduction of new systems of
transit at first is to build and construct
for ordinary conditions, leavingextra-
ordinary conditions to be met and pro-
vided for later. The- numerous steep
incline accidents show that the cars and
track so far in use have been devised
for moderate grades, and thatthe prob-,
lem of safe transit on steep'. inclines
in icy weather is yet _to be solved-
That it can be solved is very probable,
and that it should be solved veryspeed-
ily admits of no doubt: ’ ' '

SP'mxoriaLD, Mo . Jan. 11,—The bold
scheme of a criminal to liberate two of his'

the release of Frank Deer and George Tay-

the jail by impersonating an officer, and
when inside he was to murder the jailer
and release his friends. The plan was
knowu to the Springfield officers, as one
of the confederates had told of it. and a
strong force of officers was on hand to cap-
ture Hoffman or kill him. Deputy Mar-
shal Brown of Springfield accidentally ran
across Hoffman on a. lonely road near Bol-
ivar while the desperado was en route
here. Each man drew a. pistol and shot at
the same instant. Both men stood their
ground and exchanged several shots, when
Brown drew a second revolver and ad-
vanced upon Hoffman, who spurred his
horse and made good his escape, being the
better mounted, although he was hotly
