 bury-WOnderfuI Growth of the S.
 ofV.
 The new camp, John L. Chatfeld camp No. 0, Sons of Veterans, instituted in
 Waterbury Tuesday night, is named after the gallant Colonel Chatfeld, of Waterbury,
 cuts bravest sons in the late war. It starts
 with twenty-six charter members. Colonel E. Z Dow, division commander of Connecti- cut, offciated, and Brigadier General Pier pont, Lieutenant Colonel Brown, Lieutenant Linsley and Division Quartermaster Fred 1 erick Farnham, all of this city, were present. They were 'fsnppered" at the Scoville House. | The camp was instituted at Grand Army Hall. Seventy members of Wadhams post l and sixty members of the Woman's Relief l corps were present A fine banquet was served after the exercises, supplied by the ! ladies. The captain and first lieutenant are sons of the late Colonel Burpee, of the l Twelfth c. V.
 It is only little over year ago that the | first camp S. of Twas organized; the camp in this city which now has seventy members, | and there are now eight camps in the State, ! with over four hundred members. It is ex- | bers in this State by the time the 1 national body, G. A. R., meets again. The State officers have now under consideration applications for charters from Bridgeport, South Norwalk, New. Britain, Bristol, Sey- l mour and Rockville respectively.
 The Dwight Place Church Affair. Interviewer to "Independent" member of | Dwight Place church-What is the true in | wardness of affairs at Dwight Place church? Answer-Not as much inwardness as out | wardness Our church seems to be the polit- l ical E'hobby horse' for newspaper scintiIla-
 tions, much to the chagrin of many who do not like newspaper notoriety and sadly | lament the present state of things.
 l Are the Dwight Place people taught that 1 Blaine is 0 thief? Not from the pulpit, but
 outside there is unit that way and they be- | gin to believe that he is the greatest robber | since Barabbas was delivered to the Jews. | They actually find he has stolen the hearts
 and votes of quite q majority in Vermont,
 and tremendous majority in Maine, where l he is best known and most respected, and it is feared he will steal big majority, | in Ohio and the 4th of November he may
 take in q majority of the electoral votes of | the whole Union E'Thief'' is no word for a
 man that will do such things. Better for | him had he never been born"
 | Will this difference between pastor and
 people, added to the old one, lead to sepa-
 rationa That will depend upon pastor
 and people. It does not look as if an addi- ton (which is so fashionable) on the rear of | the church will be needed until after cleo l tion.
 l What is the relative strength of Blaine I and Cleveland in your churcha Do not know;
 there has been no vote taken since the
 unanimous" vote for the pastor to withdraw
 his resignation. The polls are closed. | Will quite large proportion of pew-hold- CTS absent themselves from public worship
 owing to the present state of feeling! As
 I am not quite large proportion of pew
 holders could not say, My belief is that
 the Dwight Place people are in the main
 thoroughly united; that they have strong l church organization. They have a very fine
 property nearly clear from debt and they are
 on "a grand corner for business" (as Dr.
 Bacon once remarkeD, and in the midst of a
 large and growing Congregational district, | and should be in far better condition, re-
 hgious-wise, infuential-wise, numerical l wise and otherwise.
 Do you think of anything more of inter | est? No, sir.
 Good day, sir Good day. Call again.
