A BAMENDING.
The Twin City Wheelmen held their
first annual road race'Tuesday after-
noon. ' The .oourse was down East ave-
hue to Gregory’s Point and return, the
start being near the Green, three times
over the course constituting the fifteen
miles. The finish was in front of the
Congregational church.
The skies were ominous when, at 3:30
the start was made, but it was not
thought that it would min before the
race was completed. Comparatively
few of the hundreds who witnessed the
event had provided themselves with
umbrellas. .
The sidewalk as far as the eye could
reach from the Judges’ wagon ‘were
fringed with humanity, and near by
piazzzs'fairly creaked under the un-
usual weight of those who were anxious .
to witness the race.
The start was a good one and each
rider from the 55» minute handicap men
to the scratch men started off with the
apparent intention of winning glory
and a prize. .
All had their friends who encouraged
them as they passed with shouts of “GO
it,” “You’ll get there, “Now for a
prize,” etc.
The first man to cros - the tape on the
first five mile lap was. homas Clark of
Bridgeport, a 5 minute man, closely
followed by A. 1'. Swenson of Stamford
also in the same class. '
As some of the riders. were crossing
the tape on the second lap, 10 miles,
drops of rain' began to fail, and soon
after there was a perfect deluge of rain.
People 'scampered under trees, into
porches and under wagons, and some
stood bravely up to the rack and be-
came thoroughly soaked With the water
thht seemed to fall by the buckets fullt
On the home stretch and when near
the residence of Charles N. Wood one
of the riders fell and about a dozen
other riders piled in'a heap on top and
around him. The pluckily got on their
feet again and‘mounting their wheels
continued the race to the finish, in
some instances securing for themselves
prizes, Oddly enough none of them
were seriously'injured.
Considering the condition of the
course in the last part of the race the
number of accidents was comparatively
small. S. Wilson, Jr. of Newark fell
from his wheel and sustained a fracture
to one of the small bones in his left
hand, and Walter C. Price of Stamford,
Sprained one of his hands. There were
also a number of others who received
slight flesh wounds. Dr. J. 1'. Ken-
nedy prescribed for their injuries.
The following is the order in which
the riders crossed the tape and their

The facilities provided for the press
in the way of the usual, courtesies were
conspicuous by reason of their absence.
Aside from this the race was well con-
ducted and the Twin City Wheelmen
are to be congratulated on this their
first annual read race.

Compliment for Hill.
The Republicans of the Fourth dis-
trict have done well inrenominating
Hon. E. J. Hill for congressman. Dur-
ing his two years in the House he has
been an indefatigable worker. He is a
sound Republican and can be depended
upon to support Major McKinley if
that gentleman is elected. We have
no doubt of Mr. Hill’s-election. There
was'no opposition to him, which shows
his popularity.-—Ansonia Sentinel.
' - I Low Rate for Grain.
In the Aquawka Spectator, handtd
us today byJRobert S. Green, we note
the following 'low rate for grain pre-
vailing in that Illinois town: '

THEIR Ditto PERIL
Last Sunday afternoon a car bowled
along down on the Compo branch of
the Westport Electric Railway, having
on board fifteen passengers, all uncon-
scious of the danger that was impen-
ding. '
The bridge that spans the river or
harbor at Saugatuck was reached and
as everything seemed to be all right the
motorman kept the car under headway
but ata reduced rate of speed. The
car glided safely over the draw, but
just as it reached the end where the
tracks connect with the draw, off it
went.
It made a dash for the iron rail along-
side the pathway at the side of the
bridge as if intent on precipitating the
passengers into the water below.
Its progress was impeded by a large
coil of wire which brought the car up
with a round turn. The railing on the
bridge was demolished and a portion of
the car hung over the bridge threaten-
ing to fall into the water beneath, when
it stopped. .
The passengers made a frantic rush
for the rear of the car and were not
long in gaining a foothold on terra
firma. They, all experienced a sensa-
tion that they will no‘ anon forget, and
in some instances -WhI:D a bridge is
reached they will be tempted if on a
car to get out and walk across.
And it. was indeed a close call for all
of them and they can thank the motor-
man who promptly shut off the electric
power, and also the coil of wire, for
their escape from a bath in a trolley
car down to the bottom of the creek, if
not from" drowning.
FIRE lflllLTDN.
The large frame building formerly
owned and occupied by the late Augus-
tus Whitlock as a day and boarding
school was discovered to be on fire,
about 4 o’clock Saturday afternoon.
The fire seems to have originated in
the attic and quickly spread until the
entire building was enveloped in flames.
Wilton has no fire department and-all
efforts to check the flames were without
avail. The building burned like tinder
and the devouring fiend ate it to the
ground as if it were but chafi'.
The flames leaped and danced as
merrily as a dancing party in the pavil-
ion at Gregory ’s Point, and had it oc-
curred in the night time the whole town
would have been brilliantly illuminated.
The building had been unoccupied
since the death of Mr. Whitlock and
the origin of the fire is evidently the
work of an incendiary.
The structure originally cost some-
thing over $5,000, and was insured
through the agencyof O. E. Wilson of
this city for $3,000.
In October, 1894, the school building
at the time occupied by Charles W.
Whitlock, a sun of the late Augustus
Whitlock was burned entailing a loss
which was partially covered by an in-
surance amounting to between 85,000
and 36000.
It looks very much as though some
one hada spite against the Whitlock
family.
WAS INCllliIPETENT.
The Last Will and Testament of John Fer-
' ris Refused for Probate.
A hearing in the matter of the pro-
bate of the last will and testament of
the late John Ferris was held at the
Norwalk Probate Court before Judge
Asa B. Woodward, Monday morning.
Several witnésses were examined pro
and con.
The Judge decided that the maker of
the will was incompetent to utter the
same, and refused to accept the docu- ‘
ment for probate.

Mortuary Record.
The bulletin of the Connecticut State
Board of Health for the month of
August reports 1644 deaths in the state
for last month, representing an annual
death rate of 23.0. Of this number 24
are accredited to Norwalk, the percen-
tage being 12.8, the smallest of. any
town in the state. Twelve of these
were of children under 5 years of age.
The causes of death were, malarial
fever, 2; diarrhea}, 4; nervous diseases,
5; heart disease, 4; all other diseases, 9;
still births, 3. The board calls atten-
tion to the importance of vaccination
as a means of diminishing sickness and
death as taking precedence over all
other discoveries.
Christened the nuadruplets.
The 'quadruplets of Orlando H.
Stickles. of Stratfoed, were christened
Monday afternoon at the Bridgeport
hospital. Rev. H. D. Cone, rector of
Christ church officiated. The names
given the little ones are Amelia, Eliza-
beth, Wilhelmina and Orlando H.
Thought He could Fly.
Peter Schloski, aged 54, an inmate of
the Springside home, New, Haven.
thought he could fly, and yesterday
morning jumped from the roof of the
home. He was very badly injured in a
60 foot fall, and the doctors do not be-
lieve that he can recover.
A NEW OWNER.
Our Norwalk and South Norwalk
Electric Light company’s franchises,
consisting of its entire realty, plant,
Norwalk business and all other assets,
have been sold‘out to and are to be
transferred to the General [Electric
company, by mutual agreement, on
Thursday, October let.
The General Electric company was
'the largest creditor of the Norwalk
company and Messrs. Winthrop H.
Perry was appointed by the court a
committee to represent the creditors of
the bankrupt corporation, .1. O. Carr,
the interests of the General Electric
company, and Elbert S. Adams the
stockholders of the defunct Norwalk
and South Norwalk Electric Light
company.
This Committee has labored assidu-
ously, and efl'ectually to make such a
disposition of the old Company’s plant
and assets, as would not only continue
in full efficiency, its valuable and in-
dispensible business here, for the public
Sitisfaction and benefit, but also to save
as much as was possible from its wreck,
for its first organizers and- promoters,
the original and unfortunate stock-
holders.
In both these regards, this Commit-
tee representing the various and varied
interests, working as they have in a
kindly spirit of fair dealing and with
cordiality and good feeling, have ef-
fected an entirely satisfactory and ex-
ceedingly fortunate adjustment of the
unfortunate old company’s complicated
afi'airs.
By this adjustment and agreement,
transferring the plant to the General
Electric company on October 1st next,
the business is to be chiefly owned, con-
trolled and continued,under the special
supervision of the most experienced
and capable experts known to the
science of practically applied electriv
city, to be placed in charge of the plant.
The ter'ms of the transfer also secure to
the stockholders of the old company
a continued interest of forty per cent.
of their former holdings, in the stock of
the new company.’
Many long and very much needed
improvements are to be forthwith in«
troduced at the power house and the
general eflicie ncy of the service greatly
enhanced.
There are no reasons now apparent,
why the new corporation and manage-
ment may not hereafter do a largely
increased and very remunerative busi-
neSEo
It is now well known that all the old
company’s business embarrassments
were traceable to the disgraceful incom-
petency of its earlier operating man-
agers. Our local stockholders, as is
well known, were left at the mercy of
”professed electrical experts, some of
whom proved themselves as destitute
of business competency as of personal
integrity.
The good people of Norwalk, one and
all, will sincerely welcome the new cor-
poration, and hope it may abundantly
prove the old axiom that “all is well
that ends well.”

» Another Honest Democrat. V
Ex-Lieutenant Gov. William F.
Sheehan, the representative of the
State of New York in the Democratic
National Committee, announces that
he is opposed to the revolutionary
doctrines of the Chicago platform, and
warns the delegates to the Buffalo Con- ‘
vention, that he will resign his office if
they indorse the popocratic ticket with
all that it represents.
The
How Mini WENT.
The campaign in Maine which cul-
minated Monday in the greatest re-
publican victory ever recorded, has
been the most active known for years
upon both sides. There were five
candidates for the office of governor,
who is the only state officer chosen by
the people, all others being chosen by
the legislature. The name of one of
these, William H. Clifi‘ord of Portland,
the nominee of the sound money demo-
crats. was not upon the official ballot
and those voting for him were obliged
to write his name upon their ballots.
The other candidates were: Hon.
Lewellyn Powers of Houlton, rep.;
Hon. Melvin P. Frank of Portland,
dem.; A. M. Ladd of Calais. pro.;
Luther C. Bateman of Auburn, pop.
Congressmen, county officers, state
senators and representatives to the leg-
islature were elected. 'l‘ne average es-
timate of the republican plurality for
governor was from 25,0002to 28,000. as
compared with 18,917 in 1894 and 12,503
in 1892, but the vote yesterday through-
out the state was larger thap antici-
pated. and the majority of Powers, the
republican, is larger than the most en-
thusiastic republican dared predict, the
latestreturns indicating it will reach
nearly 50,000. In nearly every county
the county officers are republican by
much larger pluralilies than ever before
known, and in some counties no candi-
dates were put in the field by the dem-
ocrats.
In all four of the congressional dis-
tricts the presentincumbents were re-
elected with increased pluralities. In
the first district, Reed’s plurality will
be something over 10,000, as against
8,185 two years ago. while Congressmen
Dingley, Milliken and Boutelle will go
back to the next congress with a, much
larger vote than two years ago. The
legislature will contain but few demo-
crats. . ,. .,
The following telegram has been sent
by Mr. Manley to Chairman Hanna:
The Republican party has achieved
the most sweeping and magnificent vic-
tory ever accorded to any party in the
history of Maine. We have carried
every county in‘the state. elected every
state senator, at least 140 out of 151
members of the house of representatives,
secured every county officer; given
each member of our magnificent delega-
tion in the house of representatives the
largest majority they ever received;
elec‘ed our candidate for governor by
the largest majority ever given a candi-
date; endorsed the St. Louis platform
and declared for McKinley and Hobart
b j 53,000:majority. -
The Republican vote will exceed by
several thousand the largest Republif
can vote heretofore given and the vote
given the Democratic candiate fir gur-
eruor isthe smallest vote ever cast,
with one single exception, and that is
the vote of 1894, which was only 3,000
ess. We have kept pace with Vermont
and proven to the country that the
Democratic platform adopted at Chica-
go will not prevail when met by argu- ,
ment and reason. We have been aided
in this great contest by many Demo-
crats who placed country above party,
who believed it could not divide the
people into parties upon a question of
simple morals or common honesty.
What more could Maine have done for
the cause of good government, honest
money and protection ? '
Several‘Norwalk firemen will attend
the annual parade of the Southport
fire department to-morrow.

' FOUND_A_N_0THER.~
Monday afternoon tw ! nice appear-
ing Huns called at the , ulice L eaoquar—
tors. The ever affable and polite Lieu-
tenant Robert N. Morebouse welcomed
them \with a Chesterfiel-iian grace. ‘
“What can I do for you?" asked Mr.
Morehouse.
We want to get. married,” replied the
young man who “'"f‘ minus a war, but
had a pretty fl )rul rpl‘lfl on the left
lapel of his coat. 7
The young lady blushed which
caused the ofl‘icer to flush as he said,
“My dear sir, I would gladly oblige
you, but the laws of the State of Con-
necticut have not as yet vested me' the
authority to tie nuptial knots. I would
suggest that you call at the Town
Cletk’sloffice. I think that Mr. Smith
the clerk will advise you in the mat-
for.”
And to the Town Clerk’s office they
went ccoing as two down. “ 1V9 want
to get married” said Mr.‘Varity by way
of introduction.
“I am sure I have no objection” re-
sponded'Mr. Smith, "I am here to issue
licenses at 81.00 each; what is your
name?”
“Joe Vardy,and her’s is Marie Karie. ”
The usual formula of other questions
were asked, and “Joe” took the on sto-
mary oath, and the parchment that per-
mitted, so far as the preliminaries were
concerned, two hearts to thump as one
was presented to him.
,“How much do I“ owe you?" asked
Joe.
“Only one dollar," answered the high
executioner as he'glanced at the willowy
but not at all timid young, (23 years
old) lady, who had decided to become
and parcel of Joe’s belongings.
Joe reached down in his trousers
pocket and drew out a plethoric looking
purse. The first thing he fished out of
it was a well-worn marriage license
which had been uttered for him by
Mr. Smith some weeks since in which
another woman was named as the party
of the second part.
“Do you remember that?" asked
Joe. “She got frightened and I found
that I had made a mistake. It won’t
occur this time if .I can help it.”
Mr. Smith gave another swift glance
- at the brid~--so-be, and said, ”Mr. Var-
dy. I will oulv charge you half price
this time. Fifty cents please. Call
again.”
With a spon‘aneous “I thank you,”
from Mary and Joe, Mr. Smith said
“God bless you,” and the couple hastily
reached the street, but not before Joe
had informed the reporter that “we Will
get married the first thing in the morn-
ing, if I have my way about it.”
Mr. Vardy is the young man who a
low days since was jilted by‘ a domestic
in South Norwalk on the day set for
their wedding, and for whom he had
furnished a nice home in Middletown.
He brought a suit for damages and the
faint hearted maiden compromised the
matter by paying a liberal sum for the
release of her engagement.
That Joe believed in the old axiom
that "there is as good fish in the sea as
ever was caught” is very much in evi-
dence. His second bride-elect. Miss
Marie Katie, looked as though she in-
tended making her Joe happy for the
remainder of his days. '
FREE ALCOHOL IN ARTS.
Report of the Expert Sent Abroad to Inves-
tigate the Subject.
Soon after the close of the last Bf ssion
of Congress the joint committee of the
two Houses, of which Senator Plait of
Connecticut is Chairman, created by
joint resolution to investigate all matters
relating to the use of alcohol in manu~
features and the arts of free of tax found
it necessary, as the basis of investigation
in this country, to obtain complete and
specific information as :to the laws in
foreign countries which permit the use
of alcohol for such purposes without
tax, and the methods of administering
such laws so as to prevent frauds on
the revenue.
HenryDalley, Jr., of New York, who‘
was appointed by the committee to
make such investigation, has just re-
turned from abroad, having thoroughly
examined “the Operation of such laws in
England, Belgium, Germany, Switzer-
land other countries, and secured a
mass of detailed information, which is
publication.
The committee is also engaged in as-
certaining the Volume of alcohol used
in manufactuares and the arts in this
country, and in gathering information
as to such use by various trades. Later
they will meet to hear oral testimony of
experts and others bearing upon the
subject. The investigations already
made show that foreign laws upon this
subject are administered in a way
which practically prevents fraud, and it
is believed that such laws can also be
States.

' THE BOY RELEAttD.“
One of the most interesting prisoner:
this term of the criminal superior court
was arraigned in that. tribunal Tuesday
morning. He was perhaps the smallest
that has ever faced a judge of the Sn-
perior Court and as he stood up in the
witness box his head just appeared
abnv- .h bench. His eyes were bright
and sparkled as he discussed the case,
in which he was involved, with Judge
Wheeler and State’s Attorney Benson-
den. , He looked up at the cqrpulent
attorney with apparent curiosity. The
prisoner was no other than Wilbur Gay—
nor, a 12 year old boy, who resides with
his father at Tallmadge Hill, a suburb
of Stamford, on the branch of the New
Canaan road. He was before the court
to answer the serious charge of attempt-
ing to wreck attain on the New Canaan
road on August 11. ‘
Young Gavnor is the son 0' a well-lo-
do and industrious farmer. He has al-
ways been an enterprising youth and
has been seen daily on the streets of
Norwalk in the milk wagon with his
father. He has always borne an ex-
cellent reputation and was well regard-
ed ‘by the neighbors of the Gaynors.
During the post‘summer there appeared
in Tallmadge Hill Charles Roberts ‘of
Brooklyn and Robert Murray of New
York. They soon made the acquain-
tance of young Gaynor and a friendship
sprung up between them. The three
were of the same age and roamed about
the woods together. On August 11 they
were tramping through the country
and thought it would be a good plan to
put an obstruction on the tracks of.
the New Canaan road and then stand
by and watch the engine hurl it off.
Just prior to that time, however, the
officials of the road ha i frequent com-
plaints from the emploves of the road
in regard to a number of ties that were
being placed on the tracks in this same
vicinity, and Track Walker Doyle had
been assigned to keep a strict watch for
the (‘fl'enders He chanced to be in the
vicinity when young Gaynor, in re-
sponse to the urging of his companions,
placed the trunk of a small tree across
the tracks. One of his companions
who rode a wheel. was the first to dis-
was caught and taken to Stamford.
The other two boys were arrested later
by Officer Hickey of Stamford and
Deputy Sheriff Miller. The lads were
given a hearing before Justice Downs
were discharged, while young Gaynor
.was held for trial before the Superior
court. '
the case until next term, allowing the
boy to remain _in the custody of his
father. If his behavior is need during
the next few months he Will be released.
The father thanked Judge Wheeler in
warm words for his kindly considera-
tior‘f.‘ and led thg boy to his mother,
where he was received with open arms.
Everybody in court was deeply inter-
ested in young Gaynor and listened to
his story with interest, many believing
the case against him rather slim.
LOTTA’S FINANCES.
She Has a Clever Business Read and Much
Real Estate.
.A successful bachelor-maid is Lotta,
who has wooed a goodly fortune from
the fickle goddess. She is credited with
having $2,000,000, well invested in a
hotel in Boston next to the Park Ave-
nue Theatre, which she also owns. In
' New York she has a fine apartment
house, and she owns real estate all over
the country. She and her mother. Mrs.
Crabtree, make all of the investments
without the help of men. Her father
was an unsuccessful miner, and it Was
from a log cabin on Rabbit Creek, 0211.,
that the actress made her debut.
Money in Hunting Wolves in Montana.

money hunting the animals. Indeed.
wolf hunting has been adopted as a
