Prevented‘a Collision.
Wednesday evening a lad named Ed-
die Donnelly and living on Harbor
avenue, discovered that' a telegraph
pole at the rear of the Parsons place
had fallen across the railroad tracks so
that it stood directly in line to strike
the headlight of any locomotive that
might come along. It was at a point
where the train passes at a high rate of
speed. Knowing that it was nearly
time fora down train he hastened to
the depot and arrived there just as the
train did. He told the engineer of the
danger and the train proceeded slowly
until the obstruction was reached, when
the brakeman succeeded in getting it
out of the pathWay of the locomotive.
Young Donnelly’s prompt action no
doubt averted what might have proved
a serious accident resulting perhaps in
the loss of life.

Henry Van Wagner Takes Possession of a
House Without Permission.
About ten days ago Henry Van Wag-
ner called~ on Newsman Hayes who has
the renting of several houses in town
among others being one at Cranbury
belonging to Charles Ambler.
Mr. Hayes gave him such information
as he could about the price of rent, etc.
but told him that before he could rent
the house he would have to see Mr.
Ambler and get the key
Van Wagner evidently dd not Con-
sider this necessary as yesterday he
secured the services of Lincoln the ix-
pressman to remove his hoiiSehold fur-
niture from his former home on Y :rk
street to the Ambler p. emises.
One load had. been deliVered, and
about the same time Mr. Ambler heard
that Van Wagner Was moving into the
house. He consulted Mr. Hayes aLd
learned that he had given him no auth-
ority to do so. He then went to no
house and ordered the first. luazl of
goods taken back, and found that there
was another lead on the way.
He intercepted the expressman nnd
told him not to take the goods on the
premises. Lincoln said that he had
been hired to deliver the goods there,
not take them back, but that if on his
arrival at the house With the load he,
Mr. Ambler, should forbid him putting
the goods on the premises he would of
course respect the order.
When Lincoln drove up with the load
Mr. Ambler was there to meet him, and
told him that if he placed the goods on
the premises he would cause his arrest.
The Van Wagners had, it is alleged,
no money with which to pay Lincoln.
for taking the furniture back, and it,
looked as if the same would be left in
the street. Mr. Ambler finally came
to the rescue and paid Lincoln to cart
the furniture back, and last night the
Van Wagners were again domiciled at
their old home on York street.

ple degree on four candidates last even-
ing. They were recognized as William

gation from Colfax Encampment, South
Norwalk, was present and added zest to
the occasion.~ Mr. Hess was presented
with a wooden razor warranted to cut
paper. He wanted his mon‘ey’s worth
and this morning is credited with say-
ing that he received it. A banquet fol-
lowed the working of the degree. It
was another evening added to Kabosa’s
long list of successful meetings.

Birthday Surprise Party.
Maud Whitney was given a birthday
surprise party at her home near the
Armory, last evening. "Nearly fifty of-
her friends assembled at the Armory
and decended on her like an April show-
er bringing a modicum of gladness and
refreshments with them. Games, danc-
ing, etc. were indulged in until 2 o’clock
when “good nights” were' exchanged
and the visitors left for their several
homes. Maud will not soon forget the
pleasures of her 17th birthday anniver-
sary.
Knocked Down by a Block.
Yesterday afternoon Captain William
H. Bouton of the propeller Vulcan re-
ceived a rap over the head that laid
him sprawling on the deck of the boat.
The block on a tackle used in hoist-
ing freight,'ect. swung around in such
a way that it struck the captain a sting-
ing blow on the side of his head caus—
ing a severe contusion and felling him to
the deck. The captain is about to-day
apparently but a little worse off for the
accident.
“She’s a Peach.”
That is the remark one of a bevy of
young misses made as they looked in,
Weed’s Wall street store window, this
morning. ”You are just right,”- echoed
the other four. They referred to the
life size doll which with hundreds of
other valuable presents are to be given
away at the Ellinwood matinee in the
Opera House, to-morrow afternoon.

DEATH (MHERAIL
Another Unknown Man’s Body
Found Near Glentrook.
Was Probably Struck ‘By a Train.
Another man, whose identity is ur-
knpwn, met a horrible death upon -the
railroad near Glenbrook. only a few
feet from‘ the spot where a similar
tragedy occurred several days ago.
As train 121, George Day, conductor,
from the eait, was approaching the
signal-tower sit Glenbrook, yesterday
morning the engineer noticed the pros-_
trnte form of a man lying upon the
track. He immediatelv brought the
train to a st-indtill. The. man was
dead, but by what train he had been
struck, or how long to had lain upon
the track, it was impossible to tell.
The head and face were so badly
,murilatt d that the features were unrec~
ognizablm and there was nothing upon
his per-mu by which he might. be l‘dinli
fled, He WuS appirerrtly twenty,- ix o.-
twenty-eight years of Iage, and gave
evrdence of being a trump. The TL“
mains were placed aboard the trni.. and
taken to Stamford Medical Eximincr
Charles E. Howell was subsequently
notified, and granted permission for the
removal of the body to Lyman Hoyt’s
Son & Co.’s morgue, where it now waits
identification.
The only thing found upon the dead
man’s person was a cakeof soap. The
remains will be interred to-day unless
some clue to his identity is obtained.
Taken in Time.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla has achieved
great success in warding off sickness
which, if allowed to progresa, would
have undermined the whole system- and
givendisease a strong foothold to cause
much suffering and even threaten
death. Hood’s Sarsaparilla has done
all this and even more. It has been
taken in thousands of cases which were
thought to be incurable, and after a
fair trial has effected wonderful cures,
bringing health, strength and joy to
the afflicted. Another important point-
about Hood’s Sarsaparilla is that its
cures are permanent, because they stirt
from the solid foundation of purified,
vitalized and enriched bloc-.1. But it is
not what-we say but what Hood’s Snrsa-
parilla does that tells the story. '
Cole vs. Macadam.
Thomas Cole, a law student at the
office of Attorney Walsh, came to the
office this morning with a severely con-
tused face and a hand that looked as if
had come in contact with a buzz-saw.
He was riding down West avenue at a
terrible pace. In front of the Morison
residence. one of the wheels became
caught in the railway track and “l‘om-
my” was spilled headforemost on the
macadam pavement. The cuticle on
the right side of his face was badly
scraped and the palm of his left hand
severely laceruted. The bike escaped
injury, and righting it the rider jumped
into the saddle and wheeled to his home
in South Norwalk.

Has Gone Daft. ‘
Mrs. Ellen Shaw, a widow living on
Stevens street, called on Selectman Sel-
leck this morning and asked him to
send her 19 year old son John to ,an
asylum, as he was crazy and she was
afraid to have him about the house.
She said that she had two more, sons
oneof whom was subject to epileptic
fits, and she received no benefit from
'but one, who paid her 85 a week for his
board. She owns a small place not
worth in excess of $500. Mr. Selleck in-
structed her to send the attending
physician to the Selectmen’s office, and
that he would inquire further into the
case. .
Frightened by an Electric Car.
“Ed” Gregory, of Cranbury, came
very close to being run down bya
Tramway car at the foot of Mill Hill,
last evening. He managed, however,
to get his turnout 011' the track in time
to prevent a collision, and then the
horse shied and ran up on the sidewalk.
“Ed” gave the animal a clip with the
whip which seemed to accelerate his
motion and he then ran up the concrete
walk leading to Lewis street, threaten-
ing to tumble Gregory and his turnout
down the embankment at every jump.
He was finally reined up on Lewis
street without having done any dam- '
age.
A Patent Range. '

IN DANGER.
Editor Rodemeyer Threatened With a Law
Suit by Harry Lane.
Gsnial John Rodemeyer, editor of
the South N orwalk News, is in receipt
of a letter from Attorney Charles W.
Mann of Bridgeport, demanding that
he retract the libelous statements the
News printed about Harry Lane, the
Bridgeport slugger who failed to appear
in the ring at the recent entertainment
of the S. N. A. U.
As Lane has quite a record for disap-
pointing audiences before whom he is
billed to appear, and his refusal to go
on’ against Monahan is said by the
Athletic club’s committee to have been
because he could not secur‘e a larger
sum for the laser’s end of the purse, we
opine that Editor Rodemeyer’s retrac-
tion will make a lasting impression on
Mr. Lane. '
When Harry gets through with the
editor he will be a good deal like the
boy that tickled the mule—“not quite
as good looking but knows more. "

PEACH YELLOWS.
A Suffield Man Claims to Have Discovered
the Cause and Cure.
John Sliney, of Suffield, 'who has
made peach yellows a study, says that
he has discovered the cause as well as
the cure for the same. His version is
this: _
Peach yellows is not a disease, as a
good many people think. The yellows
are caused by a black fies, which bores
into the tree and feeds on the sap as it '
comes from the roots. It i does not
leave the tree until all the sap is gone.
and the tree withers, then it goes for
another tree. The flea enters the tree
in the month of April, and does not
leave until October, living in the trunk
or branches. The remainder of the
year it lives in the ground.
The inseci|is about one-eighth of an
inch long; one-third being head ad
the rest body. The cure is as follows:
If a condemned tree is removed in the
fall, while the insect is in the gcund,
and a new treet set in its place, the'flea
will bore into the new tree as soon as
spring comes. By burning the trees
while the flea is in it, will remove
part of them. Another cure is to
sprinkle the tree when the insect first
enters with lime water and copperas.
If'the flea enters early in the season the
fruit is worthless, but later the damage
is not so great.

Hoyt vs. Guarnieri.
The case of Charles R. Hoyt vs. Rose
Guarnieri, was argued yesterday in the
Supreme court. This case was tried
recently before the Common Pleas
court, where judgment was rendered
for defendant.
Hoyt had a claim against a man
named June and Mrs. Guarnieri Was
garnisheed. The case was assigned to
be tried before Justice Austin, who
made the return day beyond his term
of office, and he was not re-elected.
The case was tried and the justice
rendered judgment, for plaintiff. The
"Common Pleas court held that the
judgment was void, because at the time
it was given Justice Austin’s term had
expired, The defendant’s claim was
that Justice Austin had no authority to
act. The appeal is by Hoyt.
Miss D’Arville in “M'a'délein_e.”_
Hoyt’s Theatre will have, ‘Saturday
night, an attraction that will prove of
great interest to lovers of music. It is
Camille D’Arville and her own company,
in “Madeleine; or, the Magic Kiss.”
Miss D’Arville is a singer of" artistic
range and is also an actress of excep-
tional talents. The production in this
city will he noteworthy in many re-
spects, as it will'be presented in an en-
tirely new dress, the costumes and
scenery having been made new for this
tour. The company-supporting Miss
D’Arville is a very excellent one. This
presentation will undoubtedly be the
operatic event of the year.
Snowballing in April.
Several young men were engaged in
snowballing each other on the driftway
leading from Mechanic street to the

having been uncovered by the carting
away of several wagon loads of rubbish
that had accumulated last winter.
