IHE only FIFTH.

Norwalk veterans of the gallant Fifth
C. V. are with their comrades, held
their annual reunion in Ansonia, Tues-
day. Among the number from Norwalk,
is Capt. A. A. Chinery.

This regiment was. composed of the

- bravest of brave men and made for
itself a record which brightens pages
with its deeds of valor, devotion and
self-sacrifice.

To give a detailed history of all the
doings of these heroes would fill many
columns. ’

The'Fifthlregiment was the result of
the attempt of Col. Sam Cult to form a
regiment in May, 1861, and arm it with
rifles of his own manufacture, 700 men
enlisting in, the cause. Disagreement
arising the regiment disbanded, more
than half of the men returning to their
homes. - Those remaining formed them-
selves into small companies and were
made the Fifth regiment. Others joined
the regiment until it soon numbered 1,-
1022men, physically averaging the best
material over enlisted in the state.

Orris S. Ferry, of Nor-Walk was com-
missioned colonel. f'and abandoned a
lucrative law practice for the field.

In July, soon after the disaster at
Bull Run, the regiment went to the
the seat of warvbeing’ffirst included in
the brigade-133M; Colonel George H.
Thomas, whoiiichie‘vedgrenown in Ten
nessee. The jfi'rsfi'ex‘periences of the
regiment brought the men in contact
with exposure in marching and counter-
marching in celd and rain. They had
no established camp and their suffering
and privation was great. During the
latter months of 1861 picket duty was
per-formed in front of the enemy on the
upper Potomac. The events which fol-
lowed took theregiment'to the scene of
the disastrous battle of Ball’s Blufi‘, the
camp at Muddy Branch-to Frederick,
encountering conflicts on the way. In
December, 1862, the regiment was as-
signed to the 12th army corps under
General Slocum.

Then followed the sufferings of camp-
life until April, 1863, when the men
were in line again, and a campaign of
of carnage inaugurated, as the march
to Culpepper, Fredericksburg, Chan-

' cellorsville, Sufi‘olk, Gettysburg, Win-
chester, Front Royal, Lurray Valley,
and Cedar Mountain, at the latter place
the Fifth receiving a murderous bap-
tism of fire, when it'c‘hiirg’e’d" an ex-
‘posed battery. Here, Oliver Brady, of
Norwalk, fell mortally wounded.

Colonel Ferry having been appointed
a brigadier general, took command of
a brigade under General Shields, and
joined McDowell’s corps. '

The regiment wasiwith Pope’s army,
on the Rappahannock. Was at‘ Bris-
tow, the second battle of Bull Run,
joined the forces of General Sherman
in April, 1864. In the campaign of one
hundred days, under General Sherman.
the regiment started with 450 men, and
at the end of that time, only 130 men
were on duty. Of the first number,
nearly 200 had fallen in battle. or were
buried on the field or suffering in the
hospitals. _

In November, 1864, began the won-

derful march from Atlanta‘to the sea.
Then, in January, 1865, the'Fifth was
pushing northward, with the rebels in
retreat. On it went until March 16,
When Averyborough, N. C. was reached,
and on April 10, Smithfield, N. 0,, was
entered. April 13, while moving rapid-
ly upon Raleigh, the soldiers received
the glad news of Lee’s surrender.
' June 29th, 1865, the Fifth was mus-
tered out, after taking a prominent part
in the grand review at Washington.
Two thousand and sixty-one men had
been credited to the regiment; and it
had been engaged in some of the sharp-
est fighting of the war; while it had
marched farther than any other regi-
ment from the state, after the enemy.
Its'oasualties werer. Killed in action,
73; died of Wounds, 29; died of disease,
81; discharged prior to muster out, 600.
Total, 783. .

Poisoned A Horse. .

John Flanagan, 19 years old, who re-
sides with his aunt, Mrs. Galvan, of
Black Rock, was arrested last night on
the charge of poisoning a horse owned
by James Penfield. The crime was
committed Aug. 2, and the poison used
was Paris green, which was adminis-
tered to the aminal in its food. Flana-
gan had'been under suspicion for some
time, but sufficient evidence to warrant
his arrest was not secured until Tues-

day,

 

TIES ON THE TRACKS.
Saturday of what appears to have been
an attempt to wreck the New Canaan
train on its last trip up from Stamford
last Friday night, and apparently from
no motive except the one which be-
longs in the category of “pure cussed-
ness.” ‘

The engineer saw, some distance
ahead, a man working with desperate
energy, lifting, ties from the rails. He
finished his work in ample time for the
train to go along'without injury, but it
was apparent enough that, had not that
man observed the ties piled upon the
track, there would have been a collision
which might have resulted in some-
thing more serious than the derailment
of the engine and cars. The attempt
was made in the neighborhood of Tall-
madge Hill, a. lonesome place, where
train-wreckers would ordinarily be free
from observation. In this instance,
however, a man living in the vicinity
saw the obstruction, and, grasping the
situation in an instant, proceeded to re-
move the pile of railroad ties.

A few- years ago, near this spot, an-

throw a train from the track, but the
understood that one ,or more watchmen.

will be spared to discover those who
were'responsible for last night’s at-
tempt. .

Railroad men in Stamford said that
they knew nothing of the incident, and
they were not disposed to discuss it.
The informarion obtained, however,
comes from a source that cannot be
doubted. ' '

as...) His“ tilt.

Isidore Alexander, a rag peddler liv-
ing at 76 Taylor avenue, was coming up
from Roton on Saturday evening on the
8.20 car with his wife and children on
one of the usual overcrowded Tramway
care. He stood on the running board
with many others, andholding on with
both hands to, the roof stanchions. .

.When ’ the car crossed from the
double to the single track just before
reaching the overhead railroad bridge
near "the power house, Alexander was
thrown outward, he being on the left
hand side of the car. Before he could
recover his perpendicular his face and
forehead struct squarely aganist the last
pole. . ‘

. The severe blow made a report heard
all over the car andbroke the hold Al-
exander had on the stanchion. _

Fortunately Miss’Alid’a Ball sat at the
end of the seat, next to theunfortunate
man and seized him with both her
hands and held him fromfallingto the
ground, until a gentleman in front of
him passed his arm "about him and
supported the dazed man until the car
was stopped at the power house.

Blood flew from a ghastly wound over
Alexander’s eye and across his forehead
and sputtered over Miss Ball’s hands
anddress, as it did upon several other
passengers near him. ° ‘

It was found that Alexander was bad-
ly injured and he was brought up to the
car barn on Woodward avenue and Dr.
Burke summoned and his injuries“
dressed. Later the = ambulance was
sent for and the injured man was taken
to his home.

To-day the injured man,is reported
to out of danger, unless some unfor-
seen complication like blood poisoning
should occur.

 

 

How to Treat OVerheated Horses.

Major Cushing of the U. S. Army,
gives this method of treating overheat-
ed horses. He says:—

“Having had an extended experience
in the matter of horses suffering-from
heat pro‘stration. Idesire to say that
the methods I have seen adopted dur-
ing the present hot spell are wrong.
In the first stages it is all right to ap-
ply cold water. This relieves a horse,
just as it does a man, by reducing tem-
perature. But when the animal gets to
the stage of collapse you'must apply
heroic remedies. Blanket him well.
Saturate the blankets with the bettest
water you can obtain. This ‘method I
have found invariably successful.

New York on the 27th of this month.

 

*‘mcvcus ROBBED.

 

Clarence Meade, ‘ an enthusiastic-

wheelman from Danbury, “started for

‘Norwalkl Sunday on his bicycle ex-

pecting to spend the day at Bell. Island
and other shore resorts.

, While wheeling along the, read near
Wilton, the, front forks of‘his bicycle

. suddenly broke throwing Meade vio-

lently to' the ground, cutting his head
and rendering him unconscious.

A stranger happening along and see-
ing Meade lying unconscious and help-
less by the roadside, carried him to a
house nearby where he left him to he
cared for.

When Meade recovered conscious-
ness, some time afterwards he found
that the ‘fgood Samaritan” who had
picked him up had gone through his
pockets and relieved him of his pocket-
book containing five dollars and some
odd change.

Disgusted with his wheel and Wilton
reception, Meade returned to Danbury
on the evening train. ‘

NEW CANAAN.

A most delightful social function was
given by Mrs. Milton Haxton of the
New York Mail & Express, yesterday
afternoon. on the spacious lawn of the
old Silliman place. Prominent Ladies
and gentlemen of New York, Norwalk,
New Canaan and elsewhere were present
in large numbers. The enjoyable Reg
caption embraced two exquesitely a‘,
domed refreshment tables daintily set

 

out with rare old chinas beneath the

cooling shades of the overarching trees.
One table was decorated with Nastur-
tium blooms,the other with an aflluence
of sweetpea blossoms and both with
ribbons and color decorations in bar-
mony with the flowers. Ices, cooling
draughts, wafers, confections and ap-
pelising sandwiches, in abundance,
gave a satisfying grace to the social
features of the rare entertainment.
Rev. C. M. Selleck and Mrs. James L.
Stevens, were among the guests from
Norwalk, Mrs. William K. James and
Mr. and Mrs. Col. F. St. John Lock-
wood, were among the Norwalkersin-
vited, but were unable to be present.
Dr. Parker was especially in evrdence,

in his activities to help along the gen-

eral merriment. It was a function
bound tomlive in the memories of all
present.

‘- For a. Luncheon.

To decide upon a suitable luncheorf.
for traveling or for a picnic is, not the
least consideration of the hostess. Thr-
following list of edibles will be found.
appetizing, and may be prepared the
day before and kept in the refrigerate..-
until time for packing in the hamper.

A sandwich that is liked by most me-
is made thus: To one cupful of fin.
chopped rare cold roast beef. add a m5
spoonful of tomato catsup, one of War-
cestershire Sauce, salt to taste, and a.
teaspoonful of melted butter. Lay the
slices of bread to be spread on a. flat
surface. Cover with the well blended
mixture. ,Over this place another slice
of bread and press together with a

broad bladed knife. -Cut into round .I,

shape with a large biscuit cutter.

A sandwich that is excellent with
iced tea or lemonade is made with a
raisin filling. With a sharp pair of
scissors out large raisins in two length
wise.~ Remove the seeds and lay close-
ly together upon very thin slices of
buttered bread cut in triangular shape.
Sandwiches of brown bread with a fill-
ing of finely minced cheese, to which
has been added a little made mustard,
are delightful. The difierent kinds of
sandwiches should be wrapped in
waxed paper, which will keep them
moist and prevent their absorbing the
odor of other foods.

Pressed chicken is nice for picnic
luncheons. Cook the chicken in a.
small quantity of water with a little
salt until thoroughly done. Take the
meat from the bones, removing the skin
and keeping the light meat separate
from the dark. Chop fine. Place in a
mold a layer of dark meat and a layer
of white, until all is used. Add one tea-
cupful cf the liquor in which it was
boiled. Put on a heavy weight, and
when cold out in slices.

Beaten biscuits are a good accompa-
niment to chicken, or, indeed, any cold
meat. Sift a quart of flour, mix it with
a teaspoonful of salt and a tablespoon-
ful of lard; moisten with sweet milk or
cold water. Work into a stiff dough
and beat twenty minutes. Roll thin,
cut in small biscuits, prick with a fork
and bake in a hot oven until a. delicate
brown.

Devilled eggs are superior to the
plain, hard boiled eggs usually served.
Boil eggs twenty minutes. Remove the
shells, halve the eggs, take out the
yolks and mash fine. Add enough may-
onnaise dressing to make a smooth
paste. Fill the empty halves with this.
Place together and skewer with wooden
toothpicks. Wrap each one separately
in waxed paper.

Cheese straws, to be eaten with pic-
kles or olives, are regarded with espe-
cial favor by many people. They are
easily made and always successful. Mix
one cupful of grated cheese with one
cupful of flour, half a teaspoonful of
salt, apinch of cayenne pepper, and a
piece of butter the size of an egg. Add
enough cold water to enable you to roll
the crust thin, then cut in strips five
inches long and onehalf inch Wide.
Put them in tins and bake in a. quick
oven ten minutes.

 

Inexpensive Window Awnings.

There is hardly any article of utility
which may not have its decorative side
as well as its useful. The Japanese
have taught us occidentals a. lesson in
this respect, for no matter how insig-
nificant the article, nor how humble its
uses, these people consider it worthy to
be decorated according to its construc-
tion. Herein they are wise, for it is
only when ornament follows the line of
construction that it is really orna-
ment.

There are many decorative and useful
bits of furnishing which are too costly
for most of us to purchase ready made,
but which are Within our grasp if we'
would set ourselves to work to make
them.

Among these are the window 3WD-.
ings, that lend such a. touch of pic~
turesqueness to any house. whether in
town or country. The smallest of these,
ready made, costs at least three dollars,
and when you.come to furnish a. number’
of windows, it mounts up to a. goodly
sum. One need not dispense with win-
dow awnings, however, because they
may be made .up for as little as seventy-
five cents apiece. These home made
affairs may not be as heavy as to rig-
ging, and they may not work quite as
smoothly, but they will work quite
nicely, and look just as gay and pretty,
if not prettier, than the ready made
affairs. '

lilies Willard’s Cat.
Among the most cherished possessions
of Miss Frances Willard is her Angora
cat, Toots. Toots once bore the name
of Gladstone, but England’s grand old
man happened to take 'a. stand on the
prohibition question that did not meet ‘
Miss Willard’s approval, so she re-
christened the cat. Toots has habits
which must try the temperance reform~
er, for he gets intoxicated occasionally,
though with Miss _Willard for a. mis-
tress rum is naturally not the cause of
his crime. The perfume of English vio-
lets makes him as maudlin as ever fiery
liquids did a human being, and carna-
tions, too, are as bad as strong drink in
his case.

CATTLING WITH A GRIZZLY.

Ira Dodge’s Hand to Paw Conflict With 3 V

3 Big Bear.

Ira. Dodge of Cora, Wyo., teld at the
Sportsmen’s Exposition how he met a
bear with results only less disastrous to
the man than to the big grizzly. Dodge

is a typical Westerner, quiet, and the

kind of man who is peaceable till he
gets going, and then is a wounded bull
elk, a herd of mad bufialoes, a bucking
bronco, a grizzily, and some other ani-
mals that are fighters, all in one.

He was out hunting one day a couple
of years ago with a 45 calibre single-
shot rifle, which had never failed, when
he got on to the trail of a big grizzly
bear. Pretty soon he saw the bear dim-
ly through the brush, and fired at the
spot of hair, which resulted in the bear’s
getting bored through and through at
the short ribs. The grizzly bawled like
a calf, as grizZlies alWays do. He get

in another shot as the bear turned, and

that went‘ into the breast, _making a
wound that would have knocked an or.
dinary bear over, but this bear kept
coming. Putting in another shell, he
fired again, aiming at the boat's eye,
seeing that the skull was pretty thick,
and hit it, too—which shows the kind
of nerves he has. The bear kept com-

ing, and just then the shell jammed, ,

and the gun was no better than a club.

Dodge started to run for a near-by
tree,'but looking over his shoulder he
saw that he could not make it. Then
he stopped and faced the animal with a
hunting knife, which at best could
scarcely cut the hide. The bear hit
him, knocked him down. and began to
bite at his hips. To save himself the
man put his right arm clear to the elbow
between the bear’s teeth and let him
chew on that, calculating that the
grizzly wouldn’t .last long with the
wounds he had received. Loss of blood
killed the bear and nearly killed Dodge,
and in consequence he was in bed a

 

good many more weeks than was com- ,

fortable for a. plainsm'an. However, he
is all right now except for a. thumbless
hand. .

 

The Biggest Bug in the World.

Venezuela is a little Republic, but
she has one thing that is the biggest of
its kind on earth. It is a. bug-hthe
largest insect in all the wbrld. The
creature is known as the “elephant
beetle,” and when full grown it weighs
nearly half a pound. To be struck'in
the face by such a bug, flying at full
speed, would make a man feel as if a
mule had kicked him.

The beetle, like others of its kind,
both small and large, is clad in a com-
plete suit of proof armor. This armor
is made of a. material far more indes-
tructible than steel—namely, Chitine.
Chitine cannot be destroyed except by
certain mineral acids; in other words.
only the artifices of chemistry avail
against it. Thus the shells of beetles
that died 10,000,000 years ago have been
preserved perfectly in the rocks, so that
we know today just what these insects
of antiquity looked like—New. York
Journal. _

Rosa Bonheur-'5 Artistic Family.
The family of Rosa Bonheur possess
artistic taste to an unusual degree. ‘Her
father, her sister, her brothers and sev-
eral of their relatives and descendants
have displayed remarkable ability in
painting 'or ' soulpture or both." Mlle.
Bonheur’s only piece of sculpture is' a
little marble’figure of 'a. ram, of ‘ which
the design and workmanship ”are quite
good enough to provoke the wish that
she hadbeen able to pursue two arts
instead of having confined her energies
toxone. Although Mlle. Bonheur ‘is 74
years old, she has just completedalarge
painting of a fight between two stal-
lions—a work upon which she bestowed
an enthusiasm and activity as vigorous
as though she were just beginning her
artistic career.—Harper’s Bazaar.
