A Nuisance.
Complaint is continually being made
of the filthy grease that the Street
Railway distributes along its tracks be-
tween this city and South Norwalk.
Ladies complain that their dresses are
ruined by it and it is no uncommon
thing for pedestrians to track the stud
into the house and deposit it upon the
carpet. It is hoped that the Railway
officials will at once take steps to abate
this nuisance.
The Westport Case.
Under the above head, the wide-
awake Bridgeport Post thus sounds a
timely note of warning to farmers and
other rural residents: “The exposure
of the green goods men by the sudden
death of one in Westport should furnish
warning to farmers who are approach-
ed by strangers who want to buy farms.
It is an old game but it is worked suc-
cessfully in all parts of the country
owing to the confidence of those who
are engaged in farming. If they were
more suspicious the lot of the “confi—
dence man” would be a hard one, and
his plans would often go astray. The
two men driving through Westport
Tuesday evidently were prepared to
deprive some poor victim of his hard
earned savings, and the intervention
of death was all that stopped the con-
summation of another bunco game.
People in the rural districts should
steer clear of all suspicious strangers.

The Shooting of Mann.
Solomon Mann, was shot on the street
in New York, last night, by the brother
of the girl whom he had seduced, and
whose death followed upon an opera-
tion. One more tragic phase,,_t~_here-
fore, is added to a sordid romance that
began with the passion of this thelatest
victim. He ruined the girl who loved
and trusted him, and in the train of
necessary consequences came her death,
the lingering sense of dishonor in a
whole family, and now the assassination
of Mann and the holding of the girl’s
brother for murder.
If New York had a proper adminis-
tration "of the criminal law it is prob-
able that Solomon Mann would not
have been on the streets last night.
He would have been snugly stowed
away in Sing Sing, safe, at least, from
the shot of the revengeful brother.
But justice fails in nearly all these
cases; first. because of the failure to
obtain evidence thatlshould be obtained
by the police, and next by the entire
irresponsibility and go-as-you-please
gait of the prosecuting authorities.
At least three. persons conSpired in the
criminal proceeding that .led to the
death of that girl, yet not the littlest
possible punishment has been inflicted
upon anybody at the hands of the law.
No doubt the passion of revenge was
sufficiently excited by' the/first event,
but the fact that there was no justice
certainly added to the force of that
passion. If the people find that law
has no remedy for their wrongs ’the
personal remedy is the inevitable re-
sort. All the palaver in the world will
not erase the sentiment that impels
them to acts of this nature, and only
an effective administration of justice
can eradicate this barbarism.
Run by Jackasses.
A horse breeder sat Leesburg, Va.,
sent word to a horse dealer in Washing-=-
ton a few days ago that he had some
fine specimens from his stable that he
was anxious to dispose of.
The dealer replied ': "No sale for
horses now at the Capital.‘ People ride
bicycles, the street cars are run by elec-
tricity or by cable lines and the Admin-
istration is run by jackasses.
“Turn your horses out to pasture.
They will be nice things for you to look
at, and it wont cost you so much as the
height you would have to pay to send
them here and to try to sell them.”

Editor of the Gazette.

CHAPTER LVII.
As a result of Mr. Wing’s successful
return to Washington, with the_news
of Grant’s first two day’s of fighting at.
the Wilderness, Mr. Charles A. Dana,
then the First Assistant Secretary of
War. and now the 2-. -..: and Chilli-
guished editor of the New York Sun,
sent for Wing and got the details of
the route he had covered in getting
from our oarmy to Brandy Station.
Upon this information Mr. Dana had a
mounted escort of seventy five cavalry
put upon a train at Alexandria and tak-
ing Wing with him. disembarked on
reaching Brandy Station and put off
across country to join General Grant.
Wing found his horse there in good
condition and acted as pilot for the
Dana cavalcade. During that night,
Mr. Dana and his escort, reached
Grant’s headquarters, after the third
day of indecisive fighting had ended
and in time to join us on our “retreat
by the left flank.” The dead, dying
and wounded were to be seen on all
sides. Grant had ordered field tents
and surgeons to remain behind to care
for such sick and wounded as could not
follow with the army and details for
the burial of the dead. Then his order
to “March by the left flank” came, but
to an army certainly twenty thousand
less in numbers than had first opposed
Lee in the chapperel ot' the Wilder-
ness. Among the dead was General
Wadsworth of New York. I had in
Mr. Dana another friend at headquar-
ters, additional to Mr. Wasliburn, and
on our all night’s match from the Wild-
erness to Spottsylvania Court Home,
rode with them in the headquarters
cavalcade of guards. On this march
or “retreat,” as it was then thought to
be by officers and men, I had become
so Wearied out that I slept soundly in
my saddle through the night, my faith-
ful steed keeping its place in theline of
mounted men, but upon awakening in
the morning, Ifound that somewhere
on the march, my horse had passed un-
der some low limbed tree and swept
my hat, which had been tied on, from
my head and I was riding bareheaded,
with the General in Chief of our army,
a Secretary of War and a distinguished
Congressman. It was well understood
that Grant was not desirous of opening
the battle at the Wilderness, and was
more than glad to flank his army out
upon some open plain where his artil.
lery and cavalry could aid his infantry.
The Fifth Corps took the lead in this
flank movement andchngstreetfs corps
marched parallel to it, Lee hav13g di-
vined Grant’s purpose. ' ‘
May 9th our entire army was elear of
the Wilderness and in position at
Spottsylvaniu. May 10th the fierce
battle at Spottsylvania commenced and
continued up to the 21st, our enemies
fighting desps ratsly from behind earth-
works. Here gallant General John
Sedgwick of Connecticut, was killed by
a rebel sharpshooter, on a (1111ch Sun-
day morning, while I stood out a few
rods distant from him. The General
had stepped out from a _cover of trees
to view the enemy’s line across the
open, and was cautioned by one of his
staff, who had seen rebel sharpshooters
in the trees above their earthworks.
“Nonsense,” replied the bluff old Gen-
eral, “they couldn’t hit an elephant at
this distance.” The words had scarce
passed his lips when a bullet pierced
his forehead just above the. line of his
nose. It was my sad priVilegc to ac-
company his remains down through the
rebel lines under flag of truce to Acquia
Creek and thence to Washington and
thus giving the Tribune and through it.
the country, its earliest information of
rant’s terrific battle at Spottsylvania.
Grant’s next move was by the 'left
flank again to the North Anna river
and Bowling Green. Our army had
been decimated full forty thousand and
our men were exhausted by fifteen days
of constant marching and fighting. It
had received an important artillery re-
inforcement from the fortifications
about Washington. These came Via the
Potomac and James rivers and thence
across country. I had rejomed the
army from my Washington trip just
prior to its reaching the North Anna
and here had one of the narrowest es-
capes from capture, during all the war.
I had ridden outon our extreme left to,
note the gathering in of ourarmy tele-
graph lines and poles. Seeing a squad
of soldiers dressed in Union blue, mov-
ing in and out of a thicket near by, I
incautiously rode in among them, but
the first word spoken was so strongly
flavored with the southern dialect, that
I was at once made aware of my mis-
take. They took me, from my ciVilian
costume and pious aspect, to ”‘3 a chap-
lain and so permitted me to .Withdraw,
which I did with prudent quietnessand
dignity, but with no rapidity, until a
favorable opportunity rendered my
escape certain. The deceptive rebels
had stripped their Union blue costumes
from our dead, and donned the. newer
and better clothing from motives of
health, comfort and modesty and not
from any patriotic impulses. After
gliding quietly behind a low ridge, and
putting Spurs to my nimble steed, the
rascals lost their confidence in me and
fired a volley at my retreating form,
but as neither horse or rider were hit,
I always felt it was designed as a part-
Shortly after the above exhilerating
experience, which were quite common
occurrences..I learned that the son of
my dear old friend and associate on the
Tribune, the brillihnt Samuel Wilke-
son. was with his battery out on our
most advanced picket line. I had car-
ried down from Washington and about
the army two pounds of to me, vile-
smelling tobacco, a present from his
father to the gallant young artillery-
man, for not less than two weeks, and
was most anxious to empty my haver-
sack of the odious stufi'. Like the hero
who preferred death to matrimony, I
dashed out to Wilkeson’s battery then
at ourfurthermost line, to unload my
ofi'enswe cargo. But as he himself in
1887 published a most interesting vol-
ume entitled, “Recollections of a Pri-
vate Soldier in the Army of the Poto-
mac,” I Will copy Wilkerson’s own ac-
count of this visitation.
of_his book he gives his version of the
trivial event in these words:
“One day, as We lay in our earth-
' works under a sharpshooter’s fire, I
saw a civilian clad in a long linen dust-
er ride. toward our battery. I thought
he had a queer idea of a pleasure trip.
To my great amazement he rode into
the battery and asked if I were present.
I was and promptly said so. “Well, if
you are the man, and I guess you are‘
here is a package of tobacco your father
has sent you,’ he said, handing me a
couple of pounds of plug tobacco. This
was under a sharp picket and sharp-
shooters’ fire. He dismounted from his
horse and stood by his side and talked
for a moment or two and I heartily
Wished he would go away. He told me
he was a New York Tribune correspon-
dent. He smiled, pointed to a couple
of dead men and said as he raised his
eyebrows inquiringly: ‘Rather warm
here, eh? Sharpshooters got the range,
but (looking towards the woods where
those murderous men lurked) it is a
long shot.’ Then he bade me good
bye, and cooly mounted and delibera-
tely rode ofi'.”
Wilkeson’s narrative is substantially
correct except that this “long linen
duster” was the historical rebel, regu-
lation, worsted and butternut colored
garment with which I had so success-
fully concealed the character of my
messengers, Frank Long and Henry
Wing, in aiding their getting through
the enemy’s country and lines, with dis-
patches for the Tribune.
It was at Spottsylvania that Grant
sent the War Department, under date
of .May 11, his memorable dispatch in
which occurred the sentence :
_ "I propose to fight it out on this line,
if it takes all summer.”
That Runaway. .
Yesterday we chronicled the runaway
accident near New Canaan, in which
Rev. Father Duggan took a prominent
part. To-day we are able to give the
sequel of the same. As will be remem-
bered Father Duggan and the carriage
were left on one side of a stone fence
and the horse speeded across the lots.
Father Duggan managed to extricate
himself from the wreck, and went back
after his hat which he had lost at the
commencement of the runaway. He
then walked to New Canaan where be
secured another team and drove back
to this city.
Arriving here he went to the rectory
and enlisting the help of the hired man
and securing still another team, drove
back to New Canaan in search of the
runaway horse, but was unsuccessful in
finding him.
Later in the day, Andrew Quinlan,
employed by Peter W. Mead, at Mead’s
Corners, and who had Witnessed the
accident and rendered aid, while on
the way to this city, in the morning,
returned home and started out to hunt
up the runaway horse, and after a per;
sistant search, found him at middle
Five Mile River, near the junction of
the Turnpike and West Norwalk road,
nearly four miles from the point where
he jumped the fence and parted com-
pany w‘th the carriage and Father
Dugan. I
Quinlan brought the horse back to
Mead’s Corners, where he found the
party still searching the woods and lots.
He turned the animal over to Father
Duggan who rewarded him for his
trouble. In the evening he brought
the wrecked carriage back to the rect-
ory and was again rewarded by Father
Slocum. When found there was scarce-
ly a vestige of the harness remaining
on the horse.
Forfeited $1.500 Bonds.
The only case for the Superior court,
criminal side, to dispose of yesterday.
was that of- Chester L. Morrell who was
accused of criminally assaulting Flor-
ence Palmer. Both parties live in
Stamford. There was no trial,‘ how-'
ever, as Morrell did not appear when
his'name was called and his bond of
$1,500 was forfeited. His sureties were
Walter Morrell and Seven others.
The case was somewhat peculiar as
the girl was but three days under the
age of consent and counsel for the ac-
cused believed that he could prove that
no assault- :was committed. Morrell,
however, would not take his chances
,with a jury. He was turned over to
the court by his original bondsmen,
Capt. Lewis M arshall, on May 15. His
relatives then clubbed together and.
made. up the necessary amount. The
ofi‘ense was committed in April, 1894.
Poisoned By Oplu'm.
Willie Cook, a ten-year-old Bridge-
port boy, was found on the steps at his
home yesterday morning in a stupor,
which Dr. Osborne, who was called,
said resembled opium poisoning. The
boy is a constant cigarette smoker. -

A complaint for an alleged infringe-
ment of patents n machinery for mak'
ing hats has been filed in the United

Prisoners Must Wait.
The Common Pleas court, criminal
side, holds one more session before the
summer vacation. The adjournment
of the Superior Criminal court for the
term yesterday morning leaves an un-
usually iarge number of bound-over
prisoners who will now be forced to
wait until September before having a
hearing. '
The Races.
There was again a good attendance
at the races at the Fair Grounds, yes—
terday. The first race was in the 2:33
class, Fast Asleep won first money
and Matilda V., second. The best time
was 2:24%. Thenext race was the 2:25
class and it was won by Lizzie H., Tom
Scott securing the second money. The
best time was 2.426%. The races are
spoken of as being the best ever held in
Norwalk.
The Dead Crook.
The woman'claiming to be the wife
cf the, green goods culprit who diezl
suddenly at Westport on Monday,
left'that town yesterday for New. York
after identifying the remains and de-
scribing the clothing he wore. She
gave two different addresses in New
Yorkat neither of which was she known.
It is believed by the Westport authori-
ties that being unable t) secure the
money and watch found on the dead
man she will not return.
Lucky Escape.
William H. Condron, of Westport,
had a narrowescape from being killed
yesterday afternoon. He was driving
home from Georgetown, and when in
Weston he passed a stone quarry just
as a blast was set off. 'A heavy stone
from the blast crushed the wagon, and
narrowly escaped striking Mr. Condron
squarely on the head, and as it was the
stone made a slight abrasion on his
head in its descent. The horses ran
away, but were stopped before doing
any damage. '
