Northrop Enquiry-The Horse Railroad
Matter.
HARTFORD. April 6, 1882,
Special correspondence of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
The Legislature yesterday adjourned until
next Tuesday. 1t was not a very busy day.
The absorbing Parallel road question was
over with, and with Fast day to morrow the
members were disposed to get through early.
The final adjournment will be on Wednesday,
the 10Th.
In the matter of the Fair Haven and West
vile herse railroad, which came up in the
House, the following was agreed to: That
after May 1, 1882, package tickets may be
and shall be sold on the cars in numbers of
5, 10 and 20, fol- 25 and so cents and ST., and
be sold at the offices where tickets sold at
cents each, and that between and in the
| morning and and at night there shall be
sold on the cars single tickets at 5 cents each,
| and at the same hours workmen may be car
| ried between Westville and East street fo1
! one fare. The agreement was acceptable tc
| all parties and the petitioners were given
| leave to Withdraw.
| The only committee in session this after.
| noon was that investigating the affairs Of
| Secretary Northrop and the Office of the
Board of Education. Mr.. Northrop was on
the witness stand most of the afternoon, bu
no new points were brought out, his replies
being mostly to questions of Mr. Stanton
tending to show that his trips to Europe il
| 1871 and 1873 were in the interest of thu
cause of education in the State.
Professor l. N. Carleton, of the State Nor
NAL school, was next called, and in reply tt
questions said that Mr.. Northrop visited tn
school at irregular intervals and inspected
the work of the teachers. He stayed abou
an hour at a time and usually addressed tn
teachers and pupils five Or ten minutes
Upon being questioned concerning the neces
sity of Mr.. Northrop to the school, Mr.
Carleton said that was a matter of opinion
and declined to state. 1t was afterward
brought out that Mr.. Northrop and Professo
Carleton were not on the best of terms. TIL
counsel for both sides here rested their case
Judge Blydenburgh did not desire to max
any argument, and Mr.. Stanton for the de
tense spoke briefly in vindication of Mr.
Northrop and his worth. He suggested tina
the duty of the committee was to state fact
to the Legislature rather than draw conclu
sions or recommend remedies. The commit
tee will not report until the middle or last o
next week.

The New Hose Wagon.

The new hose wagon for steamer was
shown on Chapel street yesterday. 1t cost
about $575 and attracted unusual attention,
being novelty in these parts. The hose is
not laid, but reeled in serpentine lengths Oh
the wagon bottom, and can be handled more
easily than in the old way. Overhead is g
canvas covering. In case fireman is injured
the canvas can be used as stretcher and the
man conveyed home in the wagon. On each
side of the drivers seat is a fire extinguisher,
rehectors, axes, etc. 1t is claimed that WITH
four men on it the wagon will weigh about
5000 pounds. which is not more than the
present hose carriage.

Remintscences-The Late A. b Lewis.
The father of the late A. B. Lewis was
proprietor for long time of drug store.
The store was on Chapel street and stood
where Burgess & Burgess hat and fur
store is to-day. The father was Nathaniel
Lewis, and having been long in the drug bus
mess became commonly known as DIR. Lewis,
title to which the son Abram, who was
much in the store, succeeded. The young
Abram attended d school which was quite
famous 60 years ago. 1t was kept by Mr..
Jarman, grandfather of Mr.. Jarman, the
bookseller on Church street, and not a few
of our old town-born citizens of to-day at
tended it. The school was held in the old
wooden building on State street near Grown,
where Baron Schlegeps saloon was and which
has just been torn down by Mr.. John Bron-
ley for the erection of new block. The
drug store of DR.. Lewis was next kept by
Mr.. John Fowler who is living in Milford.
The father of Abram left fortune of $685.
600 or $3O, 200, which was quite fortune in
those days. Beside the son Abram there
were two sisters, one of whom, Mrs.
Pitkin, widow of the Rev. Mr.. Pitkin, of
Boston, is living. The property of deceased
is supposed to be worth somewhere in the
neighborhood of 300, 900. With his sister
he owned the valuable land with the buildings
on the line of the proposed new street from
Orange to State, between Chapel and Court
streets. The interest of deceased in the
Young Mems Institute began 80 or 40 years
ago, at which time he began to~be quite
frequent visitor at that institution, absorbed
in the books, periodicals and newspapers.
Deceased was kind-hearted gentleman and
took good deal of interest in boys, and be,
came quite attached to his pets, as he called
them, and made some of them expensive
presents He used to say theyskept him
young in thought. He loved to enter into
the happy spirit of youth and forget that he
was surely growing to be an old man De-
ceased was an attendant of the North church,
| and among his contributions to the funds of
the church he gave once 81, 900.
The funeral will be at III Orange street, to-
day, at 8 p. NJ, and the interment will be in
the Grove street cemetery. Rev Mr.. Halves
will oficiate.
