New Time, Table Makes a Number of
Changes on the Consolidated Railroad.

 

A new time table will go into effect
on the several divisions of the New Ha-
ven system of the New York. New Ha-
ven & Hartford road at noon next Sun-
day... There will be a number. of
changes on each division, but the most
important will be the discontinuance of
the noon flyers out of New York and
Boston. ' '

These trains run between Boston and
New York via Springfield. They are

- fast trains and make the run in five

hours and ten minutes. In order to
compensate for the removal of this
train the management has quickened
the time of the 11 o’clock trains out
'of Boston and New York, so that the
time of these trains is about the some
as the ones taken ofl‘. .

The noon fiyers have. not paid ex-

penses, it is stated, for some time, and '

after no little consideration it was de-

cided to discontinue them. It will per-

.haps be difficult to convince Springfield

patrons that the operation of this train,
has not proved profitable, but it is easily"
explained. The company sends out so

many trains in the middle of the day

that these two trains appear to be super-

fiuous.

Other changes on the New York di-
vision are the following: The train
which leaves New Haven at 3:30 'p. 111.
will leave at 2:56, and will arrive in
New York at 4:40

The train which leaves New Haven at
5:35 p. in. will leave intermediate sta-
tions one to ten minutes earlier and will
arrive in New York at 8:20. The train
which leaves for New York at 3 p. in.
will leave intermediate stations about
20 minutes earlier and will arrive in
New York at 5:47.

TO MAKE FUEL GAS.

 

Pennsylvania Manufacturers ‘Soon to be
Supplied with it at Low Cost. ..

 

At Bridgeport, Conn., there is now
in operation the largest fuel gas plant
in the world. The gas is manufactured
bytheLoomis process and the plant has a
daily capacity of 5,000,000 Cubic feet. The
selling price of the gas is 50 cents per
1,000 cubic feet, and although the plant
has been in - operation for only two
months there are 500 consumers using
the gas for manufacturing and domestic
purposes.

There is being introduced in Penn-
sylvania a process for the manufacture
of fuel gas, which delivers an absolute-~
ly fixed and non condensible gas at a
very low cost. The product is known
as “Gardic Fuel Gas” and is made
a nder an entirely dissimilar process to
any heretofore employed, viz., at high
pressure and at high temperature, re-
sulting in maximum efficiency and
minimum cost. The value and impor-
tance of the introduction of the Gardlc
gas into Pennsylvania can be thorough-
ly appreciated and understood by those
familiar with the vast manufacturing
industries of the State in the vicinity of
gas coal deposits. Besides the fixity
and non-condensibility of the gas it will
allow of its being carried in pipes for
long distances, and thus a cheap substi-
tute is provided for natural gas, the
supply of which is constantly diminish-
ing—Philadelphia Times.

Morphine Killed Him.

Arthur Rockwell, a member of the
firm of Rockwell Bros., clothing manu-
facturers of New Canaan. died sudden-
ly Monday night, from an overdose of
morphine, says the Stamford Advocate.
He had not been in good health for
several days and took the drug with the
idea of quieting his nerves. The de
ceased was a bachelor, and about forty-
five years of age. It, is said that he
was engaged to marry a New York lady
who boarded in New Canaan last sum-
mer. He had several brothers, one of
whom is Dr. Alphonse Rockwell of New
York, a well-known specialist. Their
father was for manv years principal of
the Rockwell Academy. well known a
generation ago, and in which many
men now distinguished in business and
the professions were educated. He
was a well-informed man, of a genial
disposition, but had at times a morbid
temperament and appeared to be suf-
fering from a feeling akin to melan-
cholia.

A young lady forgot to put a flantern
on her bicycle last evening and was ap-

prehended by an officer. She had a
good excuse and the case was nolled by
the Judge. ‘

I There is more Catarrh in this section of
the coutry than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has oven catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall‘s Catarrh'
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co. ,Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. It is taken
”internally in doses from. 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. It acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

‘They offer one hundred dollars for any

case it fails to cure. Send for circulars

and testimonials. Address,

Died at Norwalk November 19th,
Mrs. Mary Berry Jones, in the 89th
year of her age. The funeral was held
from her late residence on Monday
'morning, Rev. Chauncey Sturges of
New York officiating. Mrs. Jones was
born in Brooklyn in June 1807, where
she was married and left a widow at a
very early age. In 1840 she came to
Wilton where she met and married John
Jones, a prominent andrespected citi-
zen of the town. On the death of her
husband some ten years ago she moved
to Norwalk to be near her adopted
daughter,‘Mrs. Charles Cooke. Mrs.
Jones was of fine English ancestry and
joined to her many mental gifts a gen-
erous and‘kindly heart. Her hospital-
ity was unbounded and many of the
younger as well as the older members
of the town cherish pleasant remember-'
ances of the old homestead at Wilton,
where the “great fires up the chimney
roared and the stranger feasted at the
board.” Her hand was always out-
stretched to assistthe poor and needy
and those she thought were downtrod-
den or oppressed. Until the last she
retained the brightness and vivacity of
youth which won for her a large circle
of friends. Her last sickness was but
a breaking up of the earthly tenement
that had held her soul for S) long a
term of years. She was a life long
member of the EpiscOpal church to
which she was strongly attached. Mrs.
Jones was a sister of the. late Captain
Berry and the late Mrs. Ellen Woolsey
of Brooklyn. The body Was taken to
Brooklyn and interred besides these
relatives in the family plot at Green-
wood.

 

 

HURLBUTT STREET.

 

The cider mill is still kept busy.

The Partrick Brothers will this week
start up their mill for sawing wood, etc.

Mr. James B. Bedient has been ap-
pointed School Committee of the 9th
School district to fill the place occa-
sionedby the resignation of William
Abbott.

(I. W. Knapp has purchased anew
one-horse power machine for thrashing,
cutting stalks, grinding. etc. He has
also received fixtures for mounting his
wind mill that was so badly damaged
in the young gale-of some little time
ago.

Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Van Hoosear
have named their boy Harold Nash Van
Hoosear. He is the youngest Van
Hoosear living—the only-one hearing
this surname in his generation. His
great grand father David N., is the old-
est. The difference of their ages is 79
years. Harold N.- is the great, great,
grandson of Daniel Nash Jr, deceased,
of Westport, Conn.

Cemetery Hill in Weston has been
cut down several feet and carried into
hollows relieving the pull on this grade
very much. The hill Was a long hard
one and the work will be appreciated
by all who travel it. We understand
the work was given by the people of
the neighborhood. The inspiration
may have been caught from Hurlbutt
street, for when the lowering of the
hills near the Herman Gelbal place this
fall, the Amblers, Jacksonsh Knapps,
Van Hoosears, Abbotts, Bennetts,
Geopplers, etc, gave a day’s or more
work which made quite achange. It is
a good example to follow—and a good
way to get the hills put into the hol-
lows.

CHESTNUT HILL.

 

Mrs. John Gorham has returned from
the hospital in New York city where
she has undergone a serious, but it is
thought a very successful opperation.
She was gone but ten days. Some .lit-
tle time ago she discovered a small on-
largement on her side near her arm she
decided to have it removed. It proved
to be two small tumors. Mrs. G. is
happy she has passed throught the
worst of the trduble. ,

N. Bradley Gorham has greatly im-
proved-the roadway in front of his res-
idence. adding a good layer of gravel
for several rods. It has always been a
muddy place and is now high and dry.
He has also graded a fine driveway from
the road to his new horse barn.

We miss poor “Jim” Betts’ beauty
and wealth of varegated vegetable colors
at his old stand to-day, but Mitchell
has given us the best substitute he
could by filling the windows with his
showy Yellow Kid posters.

London “Answers” recently offered
a. prize of one guinea for the best re-
ply to the proposition: .“If you change,
who would you like to be?” Some of
the answers are printed herewith:

If I were not myself I would like to
be some onelwho is my exact counter-
part, for I am happy and contented in
my present condition, and .what could
I wish more?

What would suit me? Why, I
would like to be an admiral of the
British fleet returning to Spithead af-
ter the next great naval victory.

Who would I be? My only son. He
will become one of the greatestmen of
the day. Nothing can prevent it. He
is handsome, plucky, athletic, has a
superb voice; nothing is beyond him.
His brain is of extraordinary power;
in short, he takes after me in every

"And yet before we were married, I
