The Second Connecticut Light Bat-
tery will hold their thirty-third annual

I re~union at Pleasure beach September 2.

' The tenth annual re-union of the 28th
C. V. will take place at Gregory’s
Point on Friday, August 27th.

Monday the county commissioners
signed a contract with P. W. Bates of
Norwalk, which includes grading and
making changes in a stone wall on the
county home property.

Adeline M. S. Colvocoresses, widow
of Gapt. George M. Colvocoresses of the
United States Navy, died at Claremont,
N. H. last Saturday. Capt. Colvocor-
esses 'was mysteriously murdered at
Bridgeport on June 3, 1872.

There is now said to" be excellent
bass fishingin Saugatuck harbor and
some big fellows have been captured by
expert anglers. One fisherman de-
clares he hooked one a few days ago
which would weigh all of 20 pounds,
but just as he was about to pull the
fish irto the boat his line snapped and
the f:-.l1 escaped, thus spoiling what
might. otherwise have been a good fish
story.

The City of Norwalk advertises in
anctl.‘ r column for sealed proposals for
the inrnishing of material and con-
struction of a vitrified brick prvement
on a concrete foundation to be laid on
‘Nall street. the approximate amount
of pavement to be laid being 4,100
square yards, also 125 cubic yards of
rubble masonry, 1400 lineal feet of
curbing and 800 square yards of flag-
ging. The committee reserve the
right to reject any or all bids. Read
the adv. carefully.

The corn crop seems likely to be
rather light, unless favored with an
unusual amount of sunshine. Crops
are still showing the effects of last
month’s great rains: low ground is
soaked and is slow drying. Potatoes
are destined to be a failure in great
measure. General complaint of early
peaches rotting badly. A heavy crop
of rowen is promised. Haying goes on
slowly—far behind the northern states
in time owing to the condition of the
ground. Tobacco is turning yellow in
most fields. It grows slowly and its
general condition is regarded as not of
the best.

The Connecticut delegation to the
national encampment to be held at Buf-
falo August 23 next, is composed of the
following: Delegates at large, Colonel
Simeon E. Fox of New Haven, \Villiam
E. Quigley of Waterbury. H. S. Mc-
Kenny of Hartford, Ira R. VVildman
of Danbury, M. B. Schenk of Meriden,
S. Wadsworth of Unionville, Caleb
Wood of Norwalk. The alternates are:
Delegate at large, W. M. Olcott of
Norwich; delegates, E. C. Ayer of
Unionville; Dr. M. W. Robinson of
Colchester, Anthony Adams of Stafford
Springs, Homer F. Northrop of VVater-
bury, Richard J. Cutbill of Norwalk
and Isaac L. Mead of Greenwich.

Two painters in the employ of the
Consolidated railroad companymet with
a serious accident at the South Wilton
depot Wednesday.

They were engaged in painting the
building and stood on a scaffold which
gave way, and they were precipitated
to the ground.

They were assisted into the station
and appeared to have suffered
serious injury,but they pluckily insisted
on being put on a down train, and
started for their homes in New Haven
against the advice of those who helped
them into a car.

The annual re-union of the Fifth
Regiment, C. V., was held in Middle-
town Monday. The business meet-
ing was held at 11 a. m., and the follow-
ing officers were elected: President,
George A. Case, of Noroton; vice presi-
dent, G. N. Raymond, of Bridgeport;
secretary and treasurer, E. E. Mardin,
of Hartford; chaplain, Horace VVin-
slew, of Weatogue. '

The reports showed that the member-
ship was decreased during the year by
fourteen deaths. It was voted to invite
the Twentieth Regiment to unite with
the Fifth at the reunion next year, at a
place to be decided upon by a commit-
tee appbinted for the purpose. Seven-
ty persons were present.

The church collections taken up on
“Hospital Sunday” at the churches for
the benefit of the hospital fund were:
South Norwalk Congregational, $158.44

, George Hartwell, a well to do resi-
dent of Danbury has applied to the au-
thorities for assistance to locate his
wife whom he believes has eloped with
John Gerold, a laborer formerly in Mr.
Hartwell’s employ.

Mrs. Hartwell is about 40 years old
and very comely. Gerold is a Canadian
about 36 years old, of attractive appear-
ance, while the deserted husband is
considerably his wife’s senior.

The couple had been married about
17 years. Hartwell runs a sawmill and

 

Gerold has worked for him for two
years.

A_ man and woman supposed to be
the eloping couple were traced to
Brewster, N. Y., after which they were
lost sight of. '

Deputy Sheriff Fitzroy, of Green-
wich, was notified Sunday night, that
there was a fight going on between a
lot of tramps at East Portchester. He
took seven men and went there and
found twenty-three tramps engaged in
a fierce fight. . .

The tramps hid in a barn, but were
driven out, and after a fight four of
them were captured.

They were tried in the Greenwich
court yesterday, and sentenced to three
months’ imprisonment in the Bridge-
port jail.

At the trial it developed that the
tramps were fighting over the posses-
sion of some clothes that they had
taken from an unknown man who was
walking on the railroad track.

Bernard Kindilien died at the home
of his sister on Cedar street Tuesday
morning aged 44 years.

“Barney” as he was familiarly called
was taken ill in New York a few weeks
since and came to South Norwalk hop-
ing to regain his wonted health, but he

steadily failed until his final dissolution

as above stated. ,

The deceased was at one time prob-
ably, as well-known as any printer in
town. He learned his trade at the
Sentinel office, having taken his first
lesson in the “art preservative” at that
office, soon after it was established.

He worked at the different offices in
town, and his ready wit and expertness
as a compositor won him many friends
among the fraternity.

For some years past he had been en—
gaged at his trade in New York, but
made frequent visits to the "land of his
birth” in South N orwalk. He‘delight-
ed in speaking of himself as the “typo-
graphical error” which he was far from
being. His witticisms were spontan-
eous, and more than once to the
writer’s knowledge has he been “called
down" by foremen of offices, for having
convulsed his brother compositors in
laughter at a time when he the foreman
was anxiously waiting for matter to fill
up the columns and get- to press.

Ant “Barney” is dead! Peace to his
ashes! None had a larger heart than
he! Many friends and few if any ene-
mics.

The grand list of the towns of Fair-
field county, together with the amount
of county tax to be paid by each at the
rate of 3-10 of a mill on the dollar is
given herewith:

The county commissioners are now
figuring on an absolute certainty of
paying off $5,000 of the county debt
this year and possibly $10,000. It is
expected that the tax rate will be as
high again for some years to come.

Andrew Hutchinson is a live man to-
day but it is perhaps owing to the fact
that Mrs. Eliza A. Diaz is a poor shot
with a revolver.

Mrs. Diaz is a daughter of William
Louden and the property of Mr. Lou-
den and that of Mr. Hutchinson adjoin
at VVinnipauk.

Between the two places there is a
triangular piece of land a portion of
which has for some years been used as
a driveway.

For several years Mr. Hutchinson
and Mr. Louden lived as neighbors
ought in peace and unity, and there
was no dispute as to the ownership of
the land in question which may possibly
be worth ten dollars.

About a year ago there was a differ-
ence which resulted in litigation be-
tween the two up to this time neighbor-
ly neighbors, and legal papers were
served, the primary cause of the same
being the closing up of the driveway,
which had been open for years, by the
Loudens, and which embargo Hutchin-
son after consulting a lawyer, broke.

Since then the feeling between the
two families had not been of avery
cordial nature.

This feeling culminated in the shoot-
ing as stated above.

It occurred Saturday morning. at
which time Mr. Hutchinson went in
close proximity to the ground in dis-
pute and commenced cutting down a
growth of weeds and rank grewth of
grass which was not pleasing to his

aesthetic eye.
Mrs. Diaz saw him and as after

events proved armed herself with a re-

 

volver and approaching Mr. Hutchin-
son ordered him from the premises,
and threatened that if he did not leave
she would shoot him.

Mr, Hutchinson is a man that is not
easily frightened, and a man who can
control his temper, which was in evi-
dence as he calmly withstood abuse
from the woman’s tongue for several
minutes and until she left and went
home.

But she soon after returned as Mr.
Hutchinson was going cheerily on with
his work and renewed her abuse. And
drawing a revolver fired five shots from
the same at Mr. Hutchinson, some of

which it is alleged whistled unpleasant- '

ly close to (his head, but none of which
took effect in the anatomy of the target
aimed at. ,

This act taxed Hutchinson’s patience
beyond endurance, but while he did
not offer to do his would be slayer
bodily harm, he lost but little time, in
swearing out a complaint against her.

The writ which alleges assault with
intent to kill was placed in the hands
of Officer Pennington of South Nor-
walk, who put the woman under arrest.

Bonds were furnished for her ap-
pearance before the Town court for
trial.

The promptness with which the Nor-
walk firemen subdue and obliterate a
fire was again exemplified at an early
hour Wednesday morning.

' About 2:30 o’clock the attention of
Captain Dann and Officer Kenney was
attracted by the cry of “Fire I Fire I ”
and located the sound as coming from
High street.

Captain Dann immediately pulled
box 15 at the corner of Wall and Main
streets, and the bell promptly tolled off
the number. In the meantime Officer
Kenny had started to locate the fire.

As he turned into High street he saw
that the small story and a half building
occupied by the Druggist Supply com-
pany was-on fire, and that the alarm of
“ Fire! Fire!” had been sounded by
Henry Matheis who lives near by.

Mr. Matheis says that he was awak-
ened by a team passing by, and that
getting up and looking out of the win-
dow he saw smoke issuing from the
building, and then gave the alarm.

The fire companies responded with
alacrity and in a few minutes had the
blaze under subjection, and in a short
time had the flames entirely extin-
guished.

The blaze originated in what is
known as the drying room, and the
flames shot up and out at a point on the
north side of the building, and it is
thought started from a brass lamp left
on a stove in the room.

In the building were found a carboy
of ammonia, a quanity of fly-paper prep-
aration, a box of resin, barrel of ben-
zine and other combustibles, which fact
makes the work of the firemen all the
more deserving of commendation.

Soon after the fire was extinguished
there was a thunder storm and the rain
came down in torrents.

The damage done will probably not
be in excess of $500.

The firemen missed the usual elec-
tric light station whistle alarm, the ab-
sence of which alarm is explained at
the station as owing to the fact that
the fire gong at the station did not
ring, the same not being in working
Order.

While on the way to the fire, Engi-
neer Aikeu who was arousing members
of the department stumbled over some
boards that had been placed to protect
a trench near Catherine street and suf-
fered an injury to one of his arms.

Brigadier—General Frost has issued
orders to the Connecticut National
Guard, for sham battle manoeuvres at
Camp Cooke, Niantic, next week. The
manoeuvres will take place next Tues-
day, and are designated to be very in-
teresting.

The troops to take part. will be all
those in the brigade not specially re-
quired for other duty, and will consist
of four regiments of infantry, and the
first separate company, thirty-seven
companies in all, one battery light ar-
tillery, two guns and machine gun bat-
tery, four guns.

SILVER LAKE’S FAMOUS SERPENT.
A Joke Which Helped 3 Friend and Did

No One Any Harm.

Faxon was happiest when doing
something to relieve the distress of
another, and he was, moreover, great-
ly given to practical joking. These
two characteristics in him produced a
hoax once that became famous at the
time, and it was near about the same
time that he caused Blondin. to walk
across Niagara.

h‘axon had a friend who went to
Silver Lake, a beautiful body of water
a few miles south of Buffalo and
Rochester, in what was then a. wild
and picturesque country, where he
built a superb hotel, hoping to make
the place a popular resort. This man’s
fortune was expended in building and
outfitting the hotel, but as people did
not resort to the place in considerable
numbers it failed of becoming much of
a resort, and the man was about to
be financially ruined. Faxon went to
the place for a few days’ relaxation,
and, seeing the condition of affairs, in-
vented a scheme which his friend du-
biously fell into, and the investment
was saved.

At Buffalo lived a young German
tinsmith of an ingenious turn- of mind.
To him Faxon went, and under Fax-
on’s direction an immense tin snake
was secretly made, and so contrived
that by the use of wires it would, un-
der proper arrangements, go into ser-
pentine writhings and open and shut
its enormous mouth. This ‘contro-p-
tion” was quietly taken to Silver Lake
and so fixed in the water—which was
very deep—that by wires worked from
the cellar of the hotel it would show it-
self on the surface, snap its terrible
mouth and dive down again.

 

The snake being arranged in working

order, Faxcn went back to Buffalo,
and in his paper printed, under great
"scare heads,” the .story of the discov-
ery of an enormous snake in Silver
Lake. People visited the place by hun-
dreds and then by thousands. The ho-
tel and its barns and outbuildings of
all kinds were filled with guests, and
many people went there and camped

- on the shores of the lake, his snakeship

coming to the surface at satisfactory
intervals and doing his share of the
work. So the fame of the Silver Lake
snake went abroad. ‘

There came a body of savanfs of the
school of Europe to see the famous ter-
ror, and they saw it and pondered over
it—but at a most respectful distance.

Finally one day the wires broke, the
snake floated to the surface and turned
its white belly toward the sky, just
like any other dead snake, and the
great hoax was exploded. But Faxon’s
friend had saved his fortune and
added to it, and Silver Lake became
quite a resort after all.—Chicago
Times-Herald.

 

Useful Indian Lore.

“People out West.” observed a Kan-
sas Congressman, “have learned a
number of things from the Indians,
and many of them are of value. Prob-
ably the most valuable has been in the
matter of cyclones. We have learned
that whenever a city or town was built
on the site of on old Indian settlement,
it has been free from any of the cy-
clones which have now and then come
along in the Western country. How
the Indians were observant and smart
enough to select sites for settlement
which have always escaped cyclones is
more than we have been able to learn
by study or investigation. but the fact
remains that the towns or cities on
original Indian settlements are cy-
clone-proof. '

“These towns which are located thus
fortunately use their Indian origin as
an advertisement and as a guarantee
for settlement. Thus lots in an origi-
nal Indian settlement town are sold
for a. higher price and are in- greater
demand than in towns laid out by
white. men. It is nather rough on our
Intelligence, but it is dollars to pennies
that it is right. The cyclone insurance
company will insure a policy on houses
in an Indian settlement for one-third
the prices they charge for similar poli-
cies in other sections. ' They have
found that it pays them better to is-
sue the low-rate policies than other
policies at the higher rate.”—Washi.ng-
ton Star. -

A herculean Scots Grey passing
along Princess Street, Edinburgh, one
day. stopped at the post-office, and
called on a shoeblack to shine his
shoes. ‘

The feet of the Dragoon were in pro
portion to his height, and, looking at
the tremendous boots before him, the
:u‘ab knelt down on the pavement and
called out to a chum near by:

How, KENNAN LEARNED.

By Perseverance He Lost the Fear that
Bad Possessed film.

“When I was 17 or 18 years of age,”
said Mr. Kcmian, “I went as a. tel-
egraph operator to Cincinnati. I had
become so morbid and miserable by
that time that I said to myself one
day, ‘I’m going to put an end to this
state of affairs here and now. If I’m
afraid of anything, I’ll conquer my
fear of it or die. If I’m a coward I
might as well be dead, because I can
never feel any self-respect or have any
happiness in life; and I’d rather get
killed trying to do something that I’m
afraid to do than to live in this way.
I was at that time working at night,
and had to go home from the office
between midnight and 4 o'clock A. M.
It was during the Civil war, and Cin-
cinnati was a more lawless city than
it ever has been since. Street robber-
ies and murders were of daily occur-
rence, and all of the ‘night men’ in our
oflice 83‘:er weapons as a matter of
course. I bought a revolver, and com-
menced a course of experiments upon
myself. \Vhen I finished my night
work at the office, instead of going di-
rectly home through well-lighted and
police-patrolled streets, I directed my
steps to the‘ slums, and explored the
worst haunts of vice and crime in the
city. If there was a dark, narrow,
cut-throat alley down by the. river
that I felt afraid to go through at that
hour of the night, I clenched my teeth,
rocked my revolver and went through
it—sometimes twice in succession. If
I read in the morning papers that a
man had been robbed or murdered on
a certain street, I went to that street
the next night. I explored the dark
river banks, hung around low drinking
dives and the resorts of thieves and
other criminals, and made it an inva-
riable rule to do at all hazards the
thing that I thought I might be afraid
to do. Of course I had all sorts of
experiences and adventures. One night
I. saw a man attacked by highwuymen
and knocked down with a slungshot,
just across the street. I ran to his
assistance, frightened away the rob-
bers and picked him up from the gut-
ter in a state of unconsciousness.
Another night, after 2 o’clock, I saw
a man’s throat cut, down by the river,
and a ghastly sight it was, but
although somewhat shaken I did not
become faint nor sick. Every time
that I went through a street that I
believed to be dangerous, or had any
startling experience, I felt an acces-
sion of self-respect.

“In less than three months I had
satisfied myself that while I did fear,
I was not so much daunted by any
undertaking but I could do it, and then
I began to feel better.

“Soon after this time I went on my
first expedition to Siberia, and there
In almost daily struggles wth difficul-
ties, dangers, and sufferings of all
sorts, I finally lost the fear of being
afraid which had poisoned the hap-
piness of my boyhood—From the At-

They Shot («Ti-"Hints.

A visitor in Pass Christian, Miss,
the other day, heard some pistol shots,
and asked a negro boy what they
meant. “Oh,” was the reply, “them
fellows dun be shootin’ fo’ hats."
“Shooting for bats!” exclaimed the
visitor. “what on earth do you mean?”
“Sure; dere is nufiin strange ’bout dati

' HER HANDS ARE MAGNETS.

Wonderful Power ‘Den‘ionstrnlgcd by a
Georgia Girl. '

A strange exhibition of a wonderful
power was recently given in the pres-
ence of Governor W. G. Atkinson, of
Georgia. The demonstration occurree
In the Governor’s reception room in.
the Capitol at Atlanta, and the pos-
sessor of the marvelous power was
Miss Fannie Hester, of Greene Coun-
ty, Georgia. .

The first experiment tried with the '
young lady before Governor Atkinson
and his party was with a silver dol-
Iar. This was placed neat" the palm
of her hand, and the muscles immedi-
ately began to twitch and jump. Sev--
sral of those present felt her hand,
and noticed the "mango pulsation. A
large, round stick was then placed in
her hand, and as long as it touched
the palm it kept continually in motion,
whirling around with , great rapidity.
Several tried to push against her, but
she could not be moved from her
tracks. The Governor’s private secre-
tary, a strong, powerful young man,
used all his strength to push the girl
back, but could not move her. . , 1

Experiments were then tried with a.‘
chair, and although four men caught
hold of it and attempted to keep it
still, Miss Hester moved it exli in all
directions with “use hand. Siss- seemed

'l‘o Preserve the (Edmlowers.

The natural colors of flowers may be
preserved with almost their original
hrilliancy after being dried very thor-
onghly in sand. The Gardeners"
.‘xi‘onthly. which suggests this simple
" ”JP-"SS for manufacturing artificial
flowers. states that the most delicate
Iii-wcrs can be made in this way to
look for several years as though they
and been freshly gathered. The flower
should be placed in a pan or otherdish
and covered with perfectly clean dry
sand. This should be sifted over the
flower so as not to break or bruise the
petals. Every think and cranny should
be filled without disturbing the natu-
ral pesition of the leaves. When the
pan is full, and every crevice has been
filled solidly, the flowers are allowed
to dry for several days. It is often
found effective to warm the sand and
keep the buried flower in a warm
oven. The sand should then be re«
moved, great care being taken not to
break or fear the leaves, which will be
very brittle—New York World.

Test for Seasickness.

Many people have a genuine curiosity

to know if they would be seasick in
case they should take an ocean voy-
ge.

An easy way to put the matter to a '
test is to stand before the ordinary
mirror that turns in its frame. and
let some one move it slowly and slight-
ly at first, and gradually growing
faster while you look fixedly at your
own reflection.

If you feel no effect ,whafever from
it, the chances are that you can stand
an ordinary sea voyage without any
qualm.—Golden Days.

 

 

Toys of Ancient Egypt.

It seems very odd to have unearthed

and weapons of antiquity, and yet
