Good Roads.
The movement to secure the general
adoption. of wide tires upon wagons on
the public highways has been greatly
encouraged by the enactment of legis-
lation known as the Harvey law. The
cause of good roads is very much ad-
vanced and no hardship is imposed by
its provisions. By the the terms of this
law those who own and use only draft
wagons, with tires not less than four
inches in width for hauling loads of not
less than two thousand pounds weight,
are awarded a rebate of one-fourth of
their assessed highway tax, the rebate
not to exceed five days’ labor on the
roads in any one year. The question
of roadway improvement has been ag-
itated by the farmers a number of years
past and an appropriation has been
sought for repeatedly to inagurate the
work. The Harvey law is even a better
beginning than an appropriation, as
the terms of the act are so general in
their application as to be of immediate
benefit.

Wages. Prices and Production.
The advance in wages, everywhere
recorded by the structural trades, does
not arise in any great degree from
railroads, and hardly at all from what
may be termed either public or semi-
public works. Of course, the wage in-
crease is not at all equal to the decrease
of the past twO and a half years. The
average of that movement was not less
than 40 .per cent. on the scale of 1892 in
the skilled occupations, and of nearly
00 per cent. in the mere manual labor or
unskilled employments or trades, The
strike movements that have occurred
have aggregated in result less than 11
per cent of the changes. The recent
total advances in wages will be about
12 per cent of decline on the rates of
1892-1891. A remarkable fact, so far as
the mineral industries of the land are
concerned, is the small excess seen to
be on hand over demand at any one
time. Reduced as have been the wages
scale and prices, the leading materials
do not show that diminution in amount
of production which might reasonably
be anticipated. Bituminous coal, for
example, shows for 1894 a decrease of
only 11,000,000 tons, or about 9 per cent
of an average production, This coal
production is the index to the general
condition of manufacturing industries.
Anthracite showed an actual increase
of 4,700,000 tons, or nearly 10 per cent
on both class of coals. The decline of
production for 1894 was, therefore, but
about 2%.: per cent, or only 6,221,900
tons. .
The production of pig iron for 18-94
was less than 400,000 tons, all in the
earlier months of the year. As already
stated in these columns, the late rate of
fleet year and that of the five months of
the present one, indicates that 1895 will
exceed in the manufacture of iron the
production of any preceding year.
Other metals show for 1394’ an actual
gain, copper, for example, having in
, 1894 an increased production of 2 ,250,-
000 pounds; Silver, strange perhaps to
say, has decreased but 18 per cent., or
10,654,000 ounces, while gold production
was increased to the extent of $3,800,-
000 o'ver 1893, and of $6,764,000 over
5 .1892. Wages of miners have, however,
'. lessened 50 per cent. ‘
The figures show some notable facts,
the first being in minerals and metals,
but a moderate decrease all round in
production and a larger proportional
decrease in value or price, the. main
burden of which must, it is shown, have
’ fallen upon wages. And there is this to
be added—that the totality of discon-
tent, as exhibited generally in agita-
tion and strikes, has been considerably
less in former periods of industrial de-
pression. ‘

CHAPTER LIX.
Upon the break of the Sixth Corps at
the Wilderness fight, a rumor spread
the army that Meade had importuned
Grant to retreat back to Culpepper.
The correspondent of the Philadelphia
Inquirer, Mr. Crapsei. had very im-
properly and though ic>~i_V, sent to his
paper the statement that. it was the uni-
versal belief throughout the army that
had not Grant’s dominating will con-
trolled the army’s action, Meade Would
have turned tail and fled back to his
base, the same as he did in the Mine
Run campaign. Crapsey stated what
was strictly true and only his. want of
tact and good judgment were to be
criticised. Probably every correspon-
dent in the army had written this fact
confidentially to his managing editor,
coupled with the request that the in-
formant should not be compromised
and his usefulness crippled, by any
public use of the information. I cer-
tainly, for one, had done even worse
than this, for I had not only in a private
note to Mr. Gay, the then managing
editor of ,the Tribune, made known the
fact of this accusation against General
Meade and the universal belief in its
truth, but had sent the same news in
confidence to the President. Crapsey,
however, was less cautious and put it
in the body of one of his army letters.
When the paper reached the army and
Meade was shown a copy containing
Crapsey’s charges, he lost his temper
and descended to a pitifully mean re-
taliation upon the defenceless Crapsey.
He had a board suspended across the
erring scribe’s breast by a rope over
his neck and shoulders and lettered in
black paint—“Libeller of the Army”—
then marched under an armed guard
up and down in front of brigade lines
when out for drill or dress parade. It
is needless to say that in the eyes of
every ofiicer “entirely great.” and to
every high—minded and honorable sold-
ier, this act of petty spite and tyranny,
belittled Meade as thoroughly as it in-
spired pity and sympathy for the help-
less correspondent. Crapsey as a writer
on partisan and political matters was a
rarely gifted scribe and after the close
of the war became a staff correspondent
of General Hawley’s Hartford Courant.
During our four days of fighting at
Gold Harbor, my messenger Mr. Wing,
came riding into camp, while we were at
breakfast, with two muskets across
the pommel of his saddle and two half
naked and starved Confederate captives
one on either side of his horse, as a
sort of body guard. On inquiring how
it came about that he, unarmed and un-
aided, had thus captured two armed
rebel soldiers, Wing confessed that it
was only a successful case of the coolest
kind of “bluff.” " His horse was as
knowing as a man and far more particu-
lar as to what he ' drank, than most of
the officers and privates in the army.
When reined into a brook for a drink,
he Would instantly strike out for its
source and it required a quick eye and
strong arm to stop his up-stream rush.
On this occasion the steed dashed
through the bushes until it struck the
fountain-head, a large spring where the
two Confederates had stacked their
muskets against a tree and were busily
engaged filling their canteens, entirely
unconscious of t: e fact that they were
outside their own and inside our lines.
They were startled at the sudden and
unexpected advent of the horse and
rider up through the bushes. They
Sprung up and rushed for their guns,
when Wing (who confessed to havmg
been equally frightened) cried out,
“hold on, boys, you will please hand
those muskets up to me, before I sum-
mon a force to compel you to do so.”
“Where are we?” meekly inquired the
surprised Johnnies. “You are insrde
the Union lines and close to headquar-
ters,” responded Wing, “and in two
minutes I can have men enough here to
capture a regiment of you fellows.”
Wing told us that when he demanded a
surrender of their guns he supposed .it
most likely to end in his own_ capture
and transportation to a Richmond
prison, but he put into operation this
bit of daring bravado for the reason he
was as frightened as they and knew if
he“ didn’t capture them, they would
take him prisoner. He was much ap-
plauded all about headquarters for his
cool-headed courage and , . sagacious
strategy.
It was after the enemy’s next move-
ment and halt, from Cold Harbor to-
ward Richmond, that the leading-news-
papers of New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia and Washington, reached head-
quarters. Sittingabout Gen. Grant’s
tent, late one evening,'as one and an-
other of his stafi' Would read aloud some .
stricture on the “Cold Harbor Butch-
ery,” as many even“ friendly papers
headed their criticisms, the General
finally broke forth substantially as fol-
lows: “To put down this rebellion re-
quires the destruction of Lee’s army.
'i‘o destroy that army requires the sac-
rifice of life. The sooner the country
fully realizes these facts, the better it
will be for us all. I assume entire re-
sponsibility for our losses at Gold Har-
bor, If any mistake was made there,
I alone made it and and no one else is
to blame for it.”
This was the longest speech I ever
heard the General indulge in, during
all the times I was so frequently and
seemingly at least, a welcome guest at
his headquarters. His tone and man-
mer betrayed irritation, and his inate
combative nature was no doubt deeply
.aroused in resentment for what. be
deemed unjustly severe condemnation.
Nor could I doubt that down deep in
his heart he felt a keen consciousness
that a blunder had been committed.
At all events. the results fell far short
of his expectations and so terrible a
slaughter of brave men was not atoned
for by the inconsiderabie injury in—
_ fiicted upon the enemy.
Many years after the war, I narrated
in the cloak room of the U. S. Senate
to General and Senator John A. Logan
the incident of Gen. Hancock’s asking
to be relieved from the order to charge
the rebel earthworks at Gold Harbor,
when' Logan narrated this incident in
his own military service under Grant
in the Western Department:
He said about noon one day he re-
ceived a dispatch from Grant over the
military telegraph line ”to be at Cor-
inth with your command to-morrow at
ten o’clock.” At that time, said Logan
my command consisted of a single bri-
gade of infantry, with less than three
thousand effective men. Cornith was
nearly twenty miles away and between
it and my camp was a whole rebel corps.
“I at once telegraphed back,” said be,
this message: “I have just received
from you the following order, (repeat-
ing the order) If it is as you sent it, it
means the total annihilation of my
little command, as a full rebel corps of
veteran fighting men stand between me
and Cornith.” “In a few moments,”
said Logan, “back came from Grant
this message:” “I am glad you so ful-
ly understand my order. I expect you
to be in Cornith with your troops by
ten to-morrow.” “I thought the Gen-
eralgcrazy” said Loren, "but I called
my boys out on review and read them
Grant’s order and asked them if they
would follow me in an effort to dash
through the rebel corps’ center in our
front. Every soldier to a man shouted
they would follow wherever I led.
“There wasn’t much sleeping in my
camp that night” said Logan. “I had
my men at daybreak in front of the
enemy. Itwasa complete surprise to
them and on a run, my men dashed
through their center, fighting like
fiends out of sheol, and at nine thirty,
'we entered Corinth in triumph, with-
out any serious loss. When we got
there, we learned the wisdom of Grant’s
desperate order. The rebels had tem-
porarily left their strong earthworks,
immense stores of ammunition and
rations there.entirely unguarded, in an"
effort to reinforce their troops then
being hammered by Grant. They had
had no idea Grant had any force he
could send against that rebel strong-
hold, but they found out their mistake
when too late to recover possession of
their temporarily abandoned and
strongly fortified city.” .
Again, several years subsequent to
the above interesting narrative given
me by Logan, 'I happened to be in the
same cloak room of the Senate, when
General Grant was present. It was
after he had been President and just
subsequent to the injury to his limb
on alightiug from a carriage in New
York, which caused him to walk with
crutches. He was in familiar converse
With a number of republican Senators
and among other war stories happened
to repeat this one, above narrated, in
praise of Logan’s invariable prompt~
ness. “I soon learned,” said Grant,
“upon Logan’s coming into my com-
mand, that if I ordered him to be at a
given place with his men, at three
o’clock in the morning, I could always
depend upon his being there at half
past two.” I doubt if a more terse and
yet Significant commendation was ever
paid any officer by his superior, in our
army during all the war.

"ROBBED HIS thDLllDY.
Said He Worked for the Jerome
Pacer Company.
Supposed to Be Charles Wiley. the
Ticket-of-Leave Man.
Yesterday morning at 8 o’clock a
smooth-faced young man called at the
boarding house of Mrs. Abel W. Under-
hill at 37 Water street, South Norwalk,
and engaged board. He told Mrs.
Underhill that he was employed by the
Jerome Paper company of Norwalk
and worked at night. He was given
his breakfast, after which he retired to
a room and slept until 5 o’clock in the
afternoon when he had dinner.
After dinner he took his lunch box
and said he was going to work. He had
not been gone long before a young boy
about 12 years of age appear-
ed and asked Mrs. Underhill for a
pair of military trousers that the young
man had in a package in his room, as he
said he was going ‘to drill. Before giv-
ing the package to the boy Mrs. Under-
hill questioned him about her new
boarder and was told that he worked
for the Jerome company. She also
wanted to know if he had skipped out,
but the boy said he would return, so
she gave him the package, taking the
precaution to tear a piece out of the
bundle to see if it contained military
trousers, which it did.
This morning promptly at 7 o’clock
Mrs. Underhill’s boarder made his ap-
pearance ready for breakfast. He ask-
ed the landlady if she thought he was
going to skip because he had sent for
his trousers, and she informed him that
she did.‘
After eating a hearty meal he sat
down in a chair directly under the
clock, which rested upon a shelf on
one side of the room, and talked with
the landlady and her niece. Both
ladies were occupied with their house-
hold duties and passed in and out of
the dining room. At about 8 o’clock
the young man arose and said that he
"thoughthe would take a walk before
retiring and passed out into the street.
Five minutes after he had gone Mrs.
Underhill told her neice to go to the
market and purchase some things for
dinner. but when the latter opened her
aunt’s pocketbook, which had been ly-
ing on the clock shelf,she was surprised
to find that its contents of two one dollar
bills had been abstracted.
Both ladies immediately suspected
the new boarder and as he failed to re-
turn Mrs. Underhill came to this‘city
and visited the Jerome Paper company
where she learned that no such person
was employed there. She then report-
ed the matter to the police of both
cities and they are on the watch for the
thief. ‘
The description given of the young
man by Mrs. Underhill answers that of
Charles Wiley, a ticket-of—leave crock
from Elmira, who has been arrested
in Norwalk and South Norwalk and
sent to jail several times for different
crimes, the last being the robbery at
the propeller dock in this city.
The military trousers in his posession
are also thought to belong to either a
member of Co. D or F, at whose house
Wiley boarded for one day and then
suddenly disappeared, carrying the
trousers with him.
—Imperial Cream, 100. per can at N.
Y. Store. ‘
Mlddletown. N. Y.
A recent trip to this the most wide-
awake, thrifty and progressive business
town in Orange county, 3 county that
literally flows with the richest cream
and honey, revealed the pleasing fact
that John E. Adam's, one of our native
Norwalk boys, is there deemed the
leading wholesale and retail clothier
and merchant tailor, of the place.
Well, John deserves the fame and for-
tune he has won. He is enterprising
and honest and makes friends of all he
meets.
Middletown too, has a model home-
like hotel, the Russell House. It is
not as luxuriously equipped as the
Waldorf perhaps, but it is neat and
clean with an abundant table of well-
cooked food and is seemingly a para-
dise for commercial travelers.
Since the writer was a school-boy
there in 1839, the town has grownin
population from between six and seven
hundred to a bustling city of about
dourteen thousand. Dear old Middle-
town, may its shadow never be less than
now.
Right You Are.

for public convenience, and on a “‘pub- ,
Legislature. '
In the House, consideration of the
majority and minority reports of the
railroad commissioners on the matter
of electric roads in Norwalk resulted
in a prolonged debate between Chair-
man Smith and Clerk Hall, as leaders
of the two factions, and others of the
committee. It is a fight between the
Norwalk Tramway company and the
Norwalk Street Railway company, in-
volving the latter’s right to parallel the
former and to run to Roton Point.
Chairman Smith represented that the
Tramway company is “a balloon,” with
nine miles of track very imperfectly
equipped when its bonds are taken into
consideration, and if successful here
the result will be that Norwalk people
must pay two fares to get to the main
railroad station, which is in South Nor-
walk.
Mr. Hall said the Railway cmipany
was trying to get in where it ought not
to be. More lawyers were present in
the interest of these two roads than for
any other measure—so far as known——
before the legislature. If the members
aided by much literature and maps,
had a clear idea. of the subject to begin
with, they must have lost it before the
rather acrimonious debate ended. The
motion was on the adoption of the mi-
nority report, which opposed allong
the Street Railway company to run a
parallel line to Baton Point. Previous
adoption of an amendment relative to
going under the Washington street
bridge had taken the city of South Nor-
walk from the fight. The motion was
lost, the vote standing 74 in the affirma-
tive to 94. An amendment 'relative to
going under or over railroad crossings
was voted down. The majority report
was accepted and the bill as amended
passed. Thejoint resolution from the
Senate amending the charter of the
two trolley companies, was tabled and
the bill and its amendments were trans-
mitted to the Senate under suspension
of the rules.
In the Senate the resolution amend-
ing the charters of the Norwalk Street
Railway company and the Norwalk
Tramway company, indorsed on the
calendar as offered by Senator Cofi‘ey.
caused discussion. Senator Doug-
las claimed that the matter was not
properly before the Senate as it was
new business and had not been received
as such. Senator Johnson spoke against
the resolution saying that it gave’ priv-
ileges which the railroad committee
had refused to grant to New Haven.
The chair ruled that the resolution was
properly before the Senate as it had
been received and tabled for calendar
and printing. Senator Cofl‘ey replied
to Senator Douglas and Senator J ohn-
son. Senator Ferris sent to the clerk’s
desk and had read a report of a com-
mittee of South Norwalk for the res-
olution. The resolution was passed, 16
to 5, and Senator Cofi‘ey moved a sus-
pension of the rules so that it could be
immediately transmitted to the House.
This was opposed by Senator Douglas,
but was carried 16 to 5. ~ '

Another Summer Resort.
Some weeks ago Mr. William E.
Dann purchased the Arthur Carr place
on the Gregory’s Point road. The pur-
chase was made by Mr. Dunn as a mat-
ter of speculation. Since the sale Mr.
Dann has had several offers for the
place and it is now understood that
Michael Ratchford is liable to capture
the prize through the agency of his
henchmen,‘ Daniel Conley, the con-
tractor. It is stated that if the sale is
consummated Mr. Ratchford will fit
the building up for a summer resort,
and vie with Landlord O’Sullivau for
the “outing trade.” That Mr. Ratch-
ford will make the place popular goes
without saying, but he will find a strong
competitor in the person of Landlord
O’Sullivan, who has one of the best
summer resorts on the shores of Long
Island Sound. '
P. S. The deal is reported to be off
and Ratchford threatens to sue Dean
for breach of contract.

ILLINOIS BAN KEES MEET.
The Repeal of the §iiver Act and Carlisle's
Change of Heart Commended.
ROCK ISLAND, Illa, J une 7.—The Bank-
ers’ association of Illinois convened in this
city. It is the fifth annual gathering, and
it brought together the most prominent
men of finance in the state.
President E. S, Dreyer, in his address.
attributed the revival of business to the
repeal of the silver act, which. if contin-
ued in statutory force would have a ten-
dcncy to commit the country to free silver.
This, the speaker maintained, wouldprove
injurious to commercial interests. He
held there was no necessity for an increase
in the circulating medium. He suggested
an association be formed to protect the
bankers from check raisers, forgers and
others who prey particularly upon banks.
The duty of the convention to speak
with no uncertain sound upon the curren—
cy question was urged. and the convene
tion was recommended to pass resolutions
that the whole world may know where
Illinois stands.
Henry W. Yates of Omaha delivered the
address of the day on "The Fallacies of
Free Silver.” it being an exhaustive dis.
cussion of the monetary question from
.the standpoint of sound currency. He
commended the change of Secretary Car-
lisle‘s conviction on the silver issue, which
was pointed to as a cheering sign of the
times. ‘
