THE OLDEST ARCHITECT.

8. ID. Button, a Connections Man, Is
day.
The Times of Philadelphia, Pa, on the
10th inst. said: The patriarch of his pro-
fession and the oldest active architect in
all the wide world is Stephen Decatur But
ton of Philadelphia. Wednesday the old
gentleman was showed under by kilograms
and letters of congratulatory character,
Gent from all parts of the country by old
time friends and former pupils, for a quiet
little celebration Of his eightieth birthday had
been arranged, and II. Bloomfield Bare. his office
associate, had engineered neat surprise in the
shape of an Illuminated address signed by up
wards of forty of Mr.. Buttons admirers.
The patriarch is one of the youngest men OF
his years in the city. Never wore spectacles, is
in possession Of all of his faculties and to-day qx
ecutes some of the f1uest drawings as well as he
man with a shock Of white hair and a face al
most destitute of wrinkles. By the casual OBJ
server he would be set down as about sixty and he
Is vastly more active than many a man OF three
score.
MI Button was born in Preston, New London
from early boyhood til the age e Of sixteen tee
when he went to the town of Griswold and there
| served five years apprenticeship at carpentry
with his uncle, Samuel Button, a builder. Ht
also studied drawing, geometry and the princi
| pies Of construction, and familiarized himself
with the five orders Of Roman architecture. A
| the end of five years young Button moved t.
| New York, where he studied architectural draw
| ing and perspective with Purvis Mr.. Button EN-
| barked in the profession of planning and con
| structing residences in Hoboken N. j., where hi
| remained ten years.
He has been fifty years in harness. and the gov
| eminent buildings churches, halls schools, bank
and private residences designed by him in al
parts of the country would make sizeable vol
| ume.
He married Massachusetts lady and has tw
children, w. G. Button, an engineer with tn
| Thomson-Houston Electrical company, and Mis-
Maria Button, who lives at home and is an artis
| of ability
| The late Evan Burdick OF this city used to e
| to New York to confer with him in reference t
the designs and specifications for large building

mID-sUMMER MEETING

OF A. O. U. w. Association of Past
Master Workmen of Connecticut
Assemblies This Morning.
The regular midsummer convention of
the Association of Past Master Workmen
of the A. o. U. w. of Connecticut will be-
gin this morning at II o'clock in the rooms
of Sterling lodge No. 46, at which the reg
ular business will be transacted, after
which special session of the grand lodge

upon all eligible candidates.
At 2 o'clock they will go to the Branford

ISOLATION will meet with Israel Putnam
lodge No. 81, when the officers of East
Rock lodge No. 38 will exemplify the new
transparency work of the initiatory cere-
monies of the order.
Up to this time all those wishing to re-
ceive the grand lodge degrees had to go to
Boston. As some could not go as far as
that they had to go without the degree.
This new plan of meetings also makes q
relief for the grand lodges. It will also
give the order, which is already strong, a
very great impetus.
Officers of the grand lodge who are ex-
pected to be present in body: John G.

Inequalities of Assessment of Taxa.
BILE Property ia Hartford.
HARTFORD, July 21.-The selectmen are
discussing the imperfect appraisement of
property in this city, the discussion hav-
ing been brought on by an application for
increased funds to pay the expenses of
the assessors in viewing the property. The
regular appropriation for horse hire for
the purpose is $50 a year. The new board
of assessors feel that larger sum is nec-
essary and applied for it, Assessor Nc
Kone representing the board. The pres
ent allowance does not permit thorough
looking up of even the new houses built
during the year. It pays for only about five
days driving around the city. More new
houses are being built every year than can
be properly looked up at that time. It
was found that the request of the assess
ors could not be granted, as vote was
passed in town meeting held in Deem
Der, 1880, limiting the amount to be ap-
propriated for this purpose to $50 year.
There has been more building in Hart
ford during the last five years than there
was during the fifteen years preceding, land
yet the grand list is no greater than it was
FIVE years ago. Mr.. McKone said that
property which could not be bought for
less than $45 front foot is on the aesess-
ors' list for $5 and SO. he spoke of the
Brooks property at the corner of Main and
Talcott streets, which is on the books at
81 1000. He understood that an offer of
S50, 1000 for 1t had been refused.
1t is probable that tho October town
meeting will be asked by the ssleotmen to
pass q resolution appointing committee
to appraise all the property in the town,
10 that the assessment of taxes may be
made Just and equitable. The selectmen
believe that this work can be done better
by an outside commute than by tho select
mon.

The situation at savin Rock

The situation at the West Haven shore
The different owners of amusements are of
the opinion that they will open on next
Sunday and take the chances of being
arrested. They say that Sunday is the
best paying day of the week, and if they
are closed upon that day they will be I'M
able to pay their rent and other just debts.
The season, they cay, is dad one on &C
count of the no license law, and they urge
that there is not a single picnic booked for
that shore for the rest of the season. The
owner of the merry-goround says that he
takes pains not to have the organ play on
Sunday, and the owner of the shooting
gallery in the grove uses a very email bel
80 that there il no chance to complain Of
the noise.

Military Tournament.

Sergeant H. Garter of the First company,
Governors Horse Guard, was in town
Wednesday consulting with the officers of
the Second company, g. H. g., on the ad-
visibility of holding military tourna-
men in this city in the near future. The
success of the tournament given in connec-
ton with the Lynn~McGuire broadsword
contest has created considerable enthusi-
asm among the members of the Hartford
company, and it is believed that a purely sci
entifc series of exhibitions for medals and
prizes would be we'll patronized.
If the tournament is held there will be
contests in horsemanship, broadsword con-
test, foil fencing, tent pegging, head cut
ting, exhibition drills, and it is hoped that
contest between the two companies may
be arranged.

Ran Aground.

The large two-masted schooner Lena of
New London, in command of Captain
Reyes, ran aground on the Goose shoals
about 100 rods off the shore at Sachem's
Head early Wednesday morning. There
was pretty stiff breeze blowing Tuesday
night on the sound, and the captain
thought 1t prudent to put into hsrbor.
In doing 80 he had mistaken sachem's
Head for this harbor and the Lena went
upon the reefs. The boat remained in her
perilous position until late Wednesday
night, when she was gotten of. A survey
was made Of her hull and after repairing
the damage which she sustained the Lena
proceeded to her destination.

A New Havener at the Vienna Exht-
bitfOn.


NJ. Steinert of this city has in a recent
issue of the New York Tribune an inter-
esting contribution from Vienna, where he
is exhibiting his collection of archaic
keyed Instruments After speaking of the
great variety of musical instruments ex-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. sent by the German
and Austrian emperors, by musicians and
members of the nobility of all Landslide
instances the collection owned by Paul
the property of Frederick the Great. Pro-
ceeding he says: "With the exception of
Herr DeWitts, the instruments are out of
order, and mostly wrecks. My own col
lection is the most interesting, as it is in
fine condition, and I spend great deal
of time playing on the old instruments
| for the people who come crowding around
so soon as they hear my tinkling pets.
The other day the Margrave Alfons Won
| Pallavicini, who is the president of the ex-
hibition, and Count Calnoky, the Austro-
Hungarian prime minister, visited my de-
partment and each spent half an hour ex-
amining the instruments and listening to
| them. They seemed delighted and COM
plimented me highly. I have also exhibit
| ed them to several fine musicians. They
were much interested in them, but not one
of them seemed to know anything about
their history or artistic value"
| In the course of the article Mr.. Steinert
further says:
| "One of the ostinteresting departments
of the Vienna exhibition is that devoted
| to the music and musicians of Poland.
Naturally room full of Chopin relics is
the most striking feature of the collection.
There are grand and an upright piano
forte on which the Polish poet of music
played, his writing materials and articles
of furniture from his Paris dwelling,
a number of water color portraits
and busts, his death-mark, casts OF
his left hand and autograph manuscripts
of his. polonaises and other compositions
Other features of the Polish collection are
specimens of the popular instruments OF
