RIDGEFIELDI‘:
Considerable excitement has been created
by an attempt to fasten the burning of D. K.
Hoyt's barn upon two of our respected citi—
zens. A court of inquiry was held before
Justice, Seymour, commencing Friday and
Continuing till half past eleven Saturday
' evening, then it was adjourned to one week
'from next Monday. .The examination was
conducted by Wm. Taylor, of Danbury, with
his usual good manners and regard for the
feelings of his witnesses. It is well for out—
siders to retain their judgments and not trust
to reports. Those who have listened to the
trial, fail to have heard any point elicited
that points to the guilt of the suspected per-
sons. The accused parties have the sympa
thy of the entire community.

spouse from the department.

ous friends of the happy couple were filing
into church Mr. A. T. Goodsell executed
appropriate musical gelectious on the organ.
Previous to the ceremony, an informal re-
ception was held at the house of the bride’s
parents, to which only near relatives of the
family were invited. The presents were
numerous and elegant, articles in silver
predominating. The bride was attired in a
gray silk and Camel’s hair dress with fur
trimmings, with hat and plume to match.

A wealthy Norwalk gentleman in search of
(Pinafcle) .“ancestral furniture and old
brasscs,” and household objects generally
which are very old, called on Mr. Horace
Staples, Saturday, in the belief that he might
part with some of the numerous aged specr-
mens he and his wife are known to possess.
Mr. S. replied by saying it was true he had a
lot of objects, one of which, in particular,
was a house 150 years old which-he would
.a:..,....... A m. we. amprtaa Hm mmlir-nnt
offered to take it and, give his fine home
residence in exchange. Mr. S. also stated
that he had an iron mortar and pestle over
200 years old—very valuable, but as he could
not eat hickory nuts by reason of poor teeth,
and used the mortar as a nut pulverizing
medium, he could part with it. Mrs. 8., he
said, possessed andirons and pieces of crock-
ery which had descended through generations
to her, but he thought she would not let them
go for love or money. After the gentleman
left, the writer was informed by Mr. S. that
Mrs. S. had one household object, which, in
his candid opinion was not worth five cents,
but so strong was her attachment for it that
$500 or even $1,000 would be no inducement
for her to sell. .
A man named Post, belonging in Wes t—
port and residing in Green’s Farms, while

mond should pay the Town $25 damages
and the costs of the court. Our citizens
will rejoice that antend has been reached in

so closely after the defeat in the contest
with Weston will undoubtedly serve as an
anodyne.

A special town meeting was held on the
7th for the purpose of rescinding the vote
of the annual town meeting authorizing the
Selectmen to let the roads by contract.
After a considerable display of parliamentary
tactics the vote to rescind was carried, and
close on the heels of this, a vote that two
mills of the tax laid for general purposes be
applied towards working the roads by the
former system. Most of the contracts have
been awarded, and how they will be affected
by this vpte will be a question forthosc
legally Wise. The contractor propose to
proceed ahd one has already begun active
operations. The annual meeting elected
highway surveyors by ballot, and whether
they can assert their rights will be a mooted
point. The question of good roads is an
important one, and it is to be regretted that
these series of difficulties have arisen at the
very outset of the affair.

WEST STRATFORD.
The election for registrar which took place
on Tuesday last resulted in a~democratic
victory. by one majority. The candidates
were George Baker, democrat, and T. W.
Wood, republican. Heratofore when party
lines have been draw ‘11 borough matters
the democrats have on successful by
majorities . ranging from forty to ninety.
Mr. Wood does not consider the result of
the election as a defeat to him by any means,
because he did not make any special effort
for election but left his entirely in the hands
of the people of the borough. The demo—
cratic candidate contrived to have himself
appointed as a deputy inspector of election
and the chief inspector instead of appoint—
ing a chairman of the meeting as the charter
requires, acted in that capacity himself.
They (the democrats) were thus enabled to
see how every one voted. and about the
middle of the afternoon "finding that they
were beaten on their own ground, sent out a
wagon and brought in a few of the “faithful"
and thus carried the election. The borough
attorney has since pronounced the election
illegal but: no action will be taken in the
matter, as the time ‘for which Mr. Baker
was elected will soon expire. Quite a num-
ber of democrats voted for Mr. Wood as they
were disgusted with the course taken by their
own party. The few Greenbackers who
voted gave Mr. Wood their cordial support
as under no circumstances would they vote
for the democratic candidate.
Our annual borough election will take
place on Monday December lst. Candidates
are numerous and willing to be elected or
defeated as the case may be. In all proba-
bility George H. Zink, Sen, will be our next
warden, as he is the almost unanimous
ch'oice of the republicans and greenbackers.
The town registrars for this district have
not yet been paid for their services in mak-
ing up the last voting list, as the selectmen
consider their bill exorbitant and refuse to
approve it. We are of the same opinion as
the selectmcn. “
In connection with the late election we
wish to add a few words. When Frank B.
Cofiiu a democratic inspector can so far
forget his official station in counting the
votes as to indulge in dirty flings at the
defeated candidate he shows his assiniuevpro- ,
clivities very plainly.
BRIDGEPORT.
Saturday afternoon week,two little sons of
John Brennan were playing with sticks, in a
field near théir father's house, Fairfield
woods, when one of them poked a horse who
was grazing close by. The animal threw out
its feet and struck one of the boys, named
Johnny, back of the ear, crushing in his skull
He lingered along until
about six o‘clock next day morning when he
he died. He was only eight or nine years old.
The two-year—old daughter of Mrs. Mark
Hallam met with a fatal accident, Monday.
at her parent’s residence in Brooklyn. Mrs.
Hallam was pouring hot water into the. coffee
when the little child came up and clasped
hold of her. The mother gave an involun—
tary start and in so doing upset the scalding
water upon the child’s shoulders, inflicting a
painful buru, . The little sufferer lingered
about twenty-four hours and then died. Mrs.
Hallam is the daughter of Mr. Chas. Wells,
of Bridgeport, formerly teacher of music in
the public schools.
Mrs. Lounsbury, of Stratford, was taken
[0 the Insane Hospital at Middletowu, Satur-
day. Sherifl'Sanford, of Bridgeport, was in
charge. She was closely veiled and seemed
thoroughly given to despair.
Mr. Thomas Crossley is failing rapidly and
is not expected to long survive. _
'l‘he death.of Mr. James Daskam last Sat-
urday makes another vacancy in the ranks of
the upright and honorable citizens of Bridge-
port.
Mr. Daskam was probably best known as a
carpenter and builder, and for many years .
was the leading man in that branch of indus-
try. For many years the firm of Beardsley
& Daskam (composed of Wm. S. and Aaron
T. Beardsley, and the deceased) did an ex *-
tensive business, their shop being at the cor.—
ner of South Avenue and Broad Street. They
built the North Congregational Church edi—.
doc, and many of the large public buildings
that were first erected here. ..
Mr. Daskam was one of the incorporators~
of the People's Savings Bank, and was a
trustee and director of that institution from
its start; At the annual meeting last January
he was elected vice-president and held that
office at the time of his death. '
Mr. Martin Conrad, for many years a prom—
promiuent merchant in this city, died last
saturday morning at his residence, 307 state
street, after a long illness. His death re—
moves frorn our midst one of our oldest busi~
ness men. He was of German birth, but has
resided in this city for the last 40 years, with
the exception of a few years on the Pacific
coast. After the discovery of gold in Cali—
fornia he joined a company of pioneers who
sailed from New York via Cape Horn in 1848.
He amassed a considerable fortune during the
short time he was in California, and subse~
queui. to his return engaged in the wholesale
grocery business in Water street, where he
continued until the past year, being obliged
:10 rlelli‘nquish it at last on account of failing
eat .
o
A Strange Proceeding.
The Stamford Advocate tells a story of a
peculiar legal transaction as follows: “Some
time ago H. D. Rolf, of Noroton Hill, organ-
izedaglue manufactory at Georgetown in
Fairfield County. The| Rolf family held
$40,000 out of an entire capital stock of
$57,000, the $17,000 being in the hands of“
outside parties. Mr. Rolf, in addition to
being the heaviest stockholder, was the offi—
cial financier of the concern, and, acting in
that capacity, some two years and a half ago
loaned to H. D. Rolf &. Co., of New York,
$15,000 upon security. The parties holding
the $17,000 in the Georgetown factory, fail—
ing to induce Mr. Rolf to purchase their in—
terest, finally charged him with embezzling
the $15,000 above mentioned, and procured
his arrest just as he was about to start on a
business trip to Australia, which he has
made periodically for some years. Mr.
Rolf’s friends are highly indignant at the
charge made against him and believe it to be
part of a plan to compel him to buy the re-
mainder of the stock." .

PRACTICAL ECONOMY I .
I would remind the public thatI have
2 Managers.
and from my experience, would say that
the Best are the Cheapest and that all
the Furnaces,Ranges,Gooking and Parlor
StovesInow keep for sale are made entire-
ly of first quality Pig Ironmanufactured
by the largest and best foundries in the
world, the owners of whichhave devoted
years to the businessand expended thou-
sands Of dollars in perfecting and bring-
ing before the public the bestStoves made.-
Such goods cost but littlemore, are decid-
edly superior in operation, and in every
way much cheaper for use, besides they
Will outweartwo or three of the articles
now in the market resembling Furnaces,
Ranges and Stoves, the same being made
mostly of Old iron, and by inexperienced
persons in the business. Consider well
What you are getting before purchasing.
