Valuable ‘Wcll.
When it was decided to locate the termi-
nus of the extension at Wilson Point, it was
supposed that it would be necessary to bring
water for the locomotives and for the use
of visitors and employees'ofthc company,
from either some springs said to exist about
one mile distant, or from the water mains
of the South Norwalk Water Works, which
did not extend nearer the Point than one
and threequarter miles, either of which
sources would necessarily be quite expensive.
In the purchase of right of way and‘term-
inal grounds they found on the premises an
old well about twelve feet deep and 2% feet
diameter, which,being within fifty feet of
the waters of the Sound, it was supposed
would be brackish and unfit for the use of
the company. After a few days use, the
Water proved free from all unpleasant taste
and superior to any of the wells near the.
shore for considerable distance.
This well has been enlarged and deepened
so that it is now fourteen feet in depth and
ten feet in diameter in the clear; and the
water flowing from the springs that feed it
(four in number) now supply one hundred
and ferty "hogsheads per day, a quantity
sufficient for the use of the locomotives and
other purposes needed for the company, and
probably enough to supply steamers running
to New York and Roton Point. Tanks are
to be erected, and a powerful windmill is
now on the ground to pump the water into
the tanks.
The springs which feed this well head on
the high grounds of the ‘Wilson lands, and
so the quantity stated above of their daily
capacity was taken on the 31st ult.,after
along drouth, it is quite probable that the
average for the year will greatly exceed one
hundred and forty hogsheads per day.
The earth'in which this well is sunken, is.
hard pan in its most compact form, which
prevents the saltwater from penetrating to
the well and injuring the quality of the
- water. This is to the company truly a
valuable well.

Town Meeting.
The special town meeting on Saturday sf-
tcrnoon was attended by about fifty voters.
,Martin S. Craw, Esq, was chosen Moderator.
The first business in the call was the exten—
sion of Osborne Avenue. The extension
asked for covered a distance of some three
hundred feet, and residents of the vicinity
seemed to think it desirable. The Select-
men were instructcd to lay out the street and
report at some future meeting. The subject
of repairing or building a new draw for the
Town carriage bridge at South Norwalk then
’ came up. Apparently there was no opposi-
tion party present, and a motion was at once
made to instruct the Selectmen to contract
for the erection of a new'stone pier and the
construction of an iron draw. A substitute
motion, which a gentleman present had pre~
pared without consultation with the persons
named, was then offered, and, after discus-
sion, carried. It provided substantially, that
Wm. H. Earle, Eben Hill, and L._ W. Sandi-
forth be appointed a committee to examine
the bridge and to obtain estimates of the cost
of such alterations, or repairs, as may be nee-
cssary in their judgment, and to report at a
future meeting to be held as soon as they
were ready to report. It seemed to be under-
stood that this would cover an entirely new
draw, of stone and iron, and from the feeling
manifested at the meeting it is evident that
nothing short of this will prove satisfactory.
Messrs. Talmadge Baker and R. H. Rowan,
were added to the committee and the meet-
ing adjourned.
The Fair.
The County Fair opens next Tuesday. 0n
the afternoon of that day a base ball match
between the Good Locks of Winnipauk, and
the Rosedales of Bridgeport, will take place.
What other special attractions the managers
{will provide have not yet been announced.

A New Firm.
Messrs. Clarence B. Coolidge and Oliver
E. Trowbridge have entered into partnership
under the name of Coolidge & Trowbridge
for the purpose of manufacturing fine stiff
hats. Burgess Coolidge may not be a pro-
ficient ,“curlcr,” but, he can manage the
"‘sinewsof war” and conduct the general
outside business, while Mr. Trowbridge at-
, tends to' the details of manufacture, he hav-
ing had long experience in the business.
They have taken the shop on Hoyt street,
recently occupied by Wilkinson & Moore.
That they may meet with sure and abundant
success is the general wish of the entire
community.
m
Wild Cactus.
Few town or city people,knowing the cactus
to be a tropical plant, and never having seen
-it growing except in pots and hot houses, are
perhaps aware that we have a variety grow-
ing wild in this climate. They are called by
farmers rock pears, but are nevertheless true
members of» the cactus family. They are
.found growing in considerable quantities on
some of our Norwalk islands, and may now
be seen from the train growing on the rocks
bordering the cut of the D. & N. Extension
mat the Wilson Point farm house.
M
Our Churches.
Rev. S. B. S. Bisscll conducted the com-
munion services at the First Congregational
church on Sunday morning. A Sunday
School concert was held in the evening.
Rev. D. W. Teller, of New Haven, formerly
of Ridgeficld, is expected to occupy the
pulpit next Sunday.
It is expected that the Second Congrega-
tional church will be ready for occupancy
next Sunday. Under Chief Prowitt’s hands
very decided changes have been made, and
the interior appearance greatly improved.
Rev. Mr. Wardiaw preached at Trinity
church, Sunday.
Corner in Lemons.
A correspondent says, that while the
3:45 p. m. up train made a-stop at a station
on the Consolidated Road betwccd New
York and New Haven, on a recent blazing
' hot day, a small boy rushed into the smok~
ing ‘car shouting ice cold lemonade, and
succeeded in selling about a dozen glasses
of the beverage thus named, which had an
innocent and extremely mild appearance.~
One of the party at the whist table, remarked
“There is going to be a corner in the lemon
market," on being asked why, he replied,
“that the depot restaurateur would have to
buy another lemon."

.'. cure ” smr'rn HANGED.
The last act in the drama which began in
Ansonia, December 23d, 1880, in the murder
of Chief of Police Hayes by James Smith,
otherwise known as “Chip" Smith,“ closed
Friday, Sept. lst, at New Haven. About
200 . persons witnessed it.” The execution
was admiringly conducted, reflecting great
credit on Sheriff Byxbce who had charge of
it. The gallows was that used in the case of
Edwin Hoyt at Bridgeport, and Hamlin in
Hartford in 1880, and this was the first which
had occurcd in New Haven In 28 years. At
10.25 the sheriff and his deputies and the cul-
prit supported by three priests ascended tho
gallows steps. Smith was pale, but showed
no signs of yielding. After prayers by the
priests he was asked if he had anything to
say, and giving a negative answer, his legs
were pinioncd, the noose adjusted with the
knot underthe left ear, and the black cap
drawn down. All left the platform save the
sheriff, at a signal from whom the trap was
sprung at 10:35. The fall was 5 feet and
Smith’s neck was dislocated. At the end of
12} minutes the physicians pronounced him
dead. The body was cut down and after an.
autopsy was forwarded tofriends in Ansonia.
Smith was 23 years old.
The perfect abandon with which some of
the rural parties at Roton Point conduct
themselves when in the water is often quite
shocking to eyes and cars polite. To those at
the Point onSaturday afternoon,the antics of
a party of men,‘ women, and children of all
ages and sizes, from somewhere up over the
line in New York State, were very amusing,
though carried way beyond the bounds of
propriety. One quite pretty young woman
of the party, evidently a favorite with the
young men, being dressed in an old calico
dress, had it torn nearly off in their
wild antics in the water, and with the
clinging remnants fitting her shapely form
like a glove, made a scene quite too sagges-
tive for modest eyes to look at. Before,
however, ofiieer DeForest could interfere in
the interest of public decency, one of the
older heads of the party advised them that
they had been in the water long enough, and
they came out, but probably to the] regret of
some of the less sensitive and thoroughly
amused spectators.
The service pipe at the First Congregation-
al Church had become clogged to such an ex-
tent as to cause great annoyance—the supply
and pressure of water being insufficient to
allow anything like a free use of the organ,
which is blown by two hydraulic engines.
On Monday afternoon, plumber Burritt un-
coupled the scrvice pipe from the main, and
pushed through it a wire brush at the end of
some 60 feet of smaller pipe. This was
worked forward and back, for all the world
like sweeping a chimney; while by means
of a hose from a neighboring hydrant, a small
stream of water was kept flowing back
through the pipe. Soon the water began to
flow as black as ink; and, as the work went
on, a great quantity of oxidized iron was
washed out. After the whole length of the
service pipe had been gone through in this
manner, it was again coupled to the main,
and thoroughly washed. The ferric oxide,
which clossly resembles ccflee grounds, quite
clogged some of the smaller passages; these
were easily cleared, however; and when
everything was clear, the result was eminent-
ly satisfactory. . The supply of water to the
engines is ample, and the perfect manner in
which the fine organ responded to Mr. Eddy’s
demands shows that there will be no further
trouble for the present. This method of
clearing the pipe may be applied wherever
the service pipe is straight, and may save
the expense of digging up and uncoupling

The audience was very small, owing to
the unavoidable shortness of the notice and
the consequent incompleteness of the ad—
vertising, but we are sure that those who
were present hada rich treat, though they
were dcbarred from manifesting their pleas-
ure in applause by a request to that effect,
printed uonp the programme. Probably the
most enjoyable piece, to the average lis-
tener, was No.4, but to those sufiicientiy
advanced to appreciate difiiculty for-its own
sake were enraptured by the superb render-
ing of the Toccata in F. Mr. Gibson would

One of the largest and finest audiences
ever gathered at a dramatic performance in
Norwalk, assembled at the Opera House, on
Friday evening, to witness the performance
of the above named comedy by Miss Ada
Dyas and the excellent company which sup-
ported her. Upon her first appearance Miss
Dyas was very warmly greeted by the entire
audience, and was presented with three large
and elegant flower pieces surpassing anything ,
of the kind we have ever seen in our Opera
House, and which were contributed by prom?
inent citizens. ‘
We have no space for a criticism of the
actors and play and can only say that the
acting and appearance of Miss Dyas was
fully appreciated as shown by the warm ap-
plause, and that every member of the‘com-
puny performed his or her part. in themost
satisfactory manner. ‘
Altogether the affair was a grand success,
and Miss Dyas has every reason to feel proud
of the reception accorded her by her “friends
and neighbors” for whose gratification she
arranged this special entertainment.
A Trotter Stolen.
Mr. Geo. A. Sturges, of Weston, was in
town early Saturday evening, and left his
mare hitched, on Water street, near Starr’s
store. AboutS o'clock he discovered that
the horse was missing, and there was noth-
ing to intimate that she had torn away from
her fastenings. The police were at once
notified, and every effort has been made
since to obtain some clue, but without suc-
cess. Mr. Sturgcs offers a reward of $50
for information leading to the return of his
property. For full description see_ adver-
tisement. The "foam is a fast trotter, and
Mr. Sturgcs intended entering her yesterday
for the Fair races and to have taken her
through the trotting circuit. Taking such
ahorse from such a public place, so early
in the evening, was certainly a bold piece of
work. ,

A party from Porfchester telegraphed to
secure some twenty seats for London As-

The seats could easily have been sold if they

others who were thus deprived of obtaining
good seats, the party ordering them ought to

Some idea of the magnitude of the freight-
ing business on the Consolidated road can be
had from the statement in the New Haven
Courier that 141' loaded cars passed over the
road on Sunday, bound east, and 181, (proba-
bly mostly empty) bound west. Seventy
cars of peaches, 35,000 baskets, went east, in-
cluded in the above. so much for one day, _
and that “a day of rest.’f
The sanctitics of the place, as well I as the
request on the programme of the Organ re-
cital of Professor Eddy at the First Congre-
gational church last Tuesday night, seemed
imperatively to forbid the expression, in the
usual mode, of the applause which must
have been in‘cvery heart; but many felt the
repression very difficult, and wished that the,
universal sentiment might have been uttered
in some other way.

Monday was a very lively day. The exodus
of many city boarders for New York in the

scene enacted in and around Reed’s saloon
in the afternoon. and the oration delivered in
the court room by Donovan, was much more
so. We find in the report of the case in~a

and I have never paid one dollar cost or

me God.” This was intended as a slur

it left New York.
It has been frequently remarked that there
is very little money paid into the city
treasury from fines imposed and collected.
We suggest that under our new and perfect
charter, while the city pays for the police,
the town receives most of the fines paid, but
if the ordinance in regard to nuisances, or
fast driving was enforced, the city would be
many dollars better off. and the nuisance
stopped. Thursday and Friday afternoon

At the Opera House, next Friday evening,
Alex. Caufman will appear in the above
named play, supported by a company which
is claimed by the managers to be one unus—
ually strong. In the cast we notice the
names oer. W. S. Harkins and Mr. ‘H. B.
Bradley, who were prominent members of
the Lotta company for several years, and
Miss Lottie Church. the wife of John. A.
Stevens. This play is a new one. having
been brought out at the Walnut street thea-
tre, Philadelphia, only last month. The
press of that city speak well of the play, and
of the company, and the Enquirer sums it
all up by saying that “it is a good melo-
drama and deserves to succeed."
Political.
The following is copied from the New
Haven Palladium of Thursday .morning :
“It does not require particularly sharp in.
sight to discern why our democratic friends
are so positive that New Haven is to furnish
a name for the second place on the republican
state ticket this fall. They are undoubtedly
destined to be disappointed, however. So far
as we are aware the republicans of New
Haven have no candidate for any place on
the state ticket, certainly not for the lieuten-
ant governorship. We understand that ccrr
tain republicans of Fairfield county are con-
templating presenting a name for the latter
oflice, which we have no hesitancy in saying
will meet with hearty acceptance in this sec-
tion. The name we refer to is that of John
D. Candee, editor of the Bridgeport STAND-
ARD. Mr. Candee has been a sturdy republi-
can since the formation of the party, and has
labored earnestly for the success of its prin-
ciples, without even seeking personal
advancement at its hands. Without any
solicitation on his part his name was present-
ed in, convention by Fairfield county some
years ago for secretary of state, and he came
within a very few votes of receiving the
nomination. Hiscandidacyfor the lieutenant
governorship is now suggested by men who
not only feel that he has earned the honor,
but that his nominatidn and election would
be a credit to the party and the state. Should
Fairfield county unite in presenting his name
for the office, he would be a strong candidate
both in the convention and before the people.
Mr. Candce is well known in this county,
and has many friends who would be glad to
vote for him.”
We hold up our hand in favor of “Honest
John," and would be heartily glad to see him
nominated. We think he would poll a good
vote in this vicinity, and if elected would
make a faithful and efi‘icient State ofiicer.
The barn of Mr. David Reynolds of East-
on, was burned Thursday night with its
contents, consisting of hay, grain and farm-
ing utensils. Two cows which were in the
yard were also burned. The fire is supposed
to have been the work of an incendiary. The
loss will amount to about $1,500.
