Stratf'ord occasionally. Monday night
the barn of Minor Smith was burglar-
ized and three sets of harness, lap robes

they would come back and take the

ening early. I Peaches are plentiful
with a ready market. Pastures in
some sections are failing,but, generally,
streams and wells are not yet affected
by lack of rain. Potato digging is go-
ing on slowly.

The residents of the quiet little' town
of Westport were just recovering from
the shock occasioned by the finding of
aged Mrs. O’Brien lying on the floor of
her home with a badly cut face and
body, from the effects of which she
died without regaining consciousness
when they were rudely shocked by the
suicide of Wesley Wolfe Tuesday
morning.

Wolfe was about 40 years of age and
well known about the town. He had
been out of work for some time and
becoming despondent ended his life by
taking a dose of laudanum.

When Mrs. Wolfe went to call her
husband at 7 o’clock she found him ly-
ing in bed unconscious and a small vial
of laudanum lying on the floor at his
bedside.

Dr. Day was immediately summoned
but Wolfe was beyond aid and died at
10 o’clock.

Local oystermen are glum over the
prospect. of the season for an inspection
of the natural beds just completed war-
rants the belief that the catch will be
less than 30 per cent. of the catch of
last season. 011 only a few of the beds
is the set promising of good results,
and although prices will be high on
account of the scarcity of the bivalves,
they will not be sufficient to pay for
the time and exertion expended in get-
ting the few oysters that may be had.

On the extreme shoal natural beds.

the set is good, but there are only a
few of these beds. On the shoal beds
off New Haven and Milford the set is
only fair. On the deep water beds the
set is so thin as to make the working
of the beds a profit-less task. On some
of the deep water beds there are no
oysters at all. 0 . I
The oystermen attribute to the
weatherwhich prevailed in July the
scarcity of the shell fish. Oysters seem
to need warm “dry weather, without
winds during July, and .thin vear the
conditions were diametrically opposite
the favorable. Only the shoal beds
escaped the baneful influence of the
chill which pervaded the water because
of a lack of the sun’s heat. A particular-
ly heavy storm in J uly,which stirred up
the bottom, is supposed to have killed
the spawn on the deep water beds.
About 225 workers of the natural
beds have taken out licenses for the
season, against 300 a year ago. One-
third of the proceeds of the issue of 1i-
censes will be used by the shell fish
commissioners toward buying the beds.

A special meeting of the South N or-
walk City Council was held in the
Council rooms Monday night.

The meeting was the more especially
called for the purpose of a hearing in
the matter of proposed improvements
on Monroe street, but the surprise of
the meeting was the limitation of speed
cf the cars on the Tramway line.

 

The Monroe street matter was fully
considered, and it seemed to be the
sense of all pr isent that when the work
was commenced that it be continued to
South' Main street. The result was
that the matter was indefinitely post-
poned. '

The Street Commissioner reported
that the Tramway company had failed
to comply with the order of the council
in respect to sprinkling South Main
street and Woodward avenue, through
which streets it was alleged the com-
pany’s cars were not only run at a high
rate of speed but that the cars caused
clouds of dust to rise, to the extent
that it became a public nuisance.

After some discussion it was voted
that the company be ordered on and
after Thursday next. to not run their
cars through the streets in question at
ahigher rate of speed than one mile
an hour.

It. was voted that the polling place
for the forthcoming city election he at
police headquarters.

The Street Commissioners reported
the widening of Railroad place as hav-
ing been finished, with the exception
of the laying of sidewalks, curbs and
gutters. The report was accepted and
further action suspended until the next
meeting of the board.

There was a favorable report for the
construction of a sevvenon Elmwood
avenue and Cedar street.

A petition was presented from the
Norwalk and South Norwalk Electric
Light company asking permission to
run electric feed wires from North
Main street through Marshall street to
the. Norwalk Iron Works. The mat-
ter was referred to the Electric Light
commissioners.

After transacting business of minor
importance the council adjourned.

The session of the 28th annual con-
vention of the C. T. A. U. at Water-
bury yesterday afternoon, was devoted

bers during the year. The banner was
presented by James F. Brennan of New
IHaven, second vice president‘of the
- National C. T. A. U.

The next annual convention will be
held at Wallingford. The date of the
state parade was set for the second.
week in June and the place at Derby.

Two amendments to the constitution
were adopted.

Section 3 of article II, was amended
to read as follows: The place of the
annual convention if not fixed upon by
the preceding convention shall be de-
' termined by the board of government.

rectors, was amended by the addition
of these words: "Each director shall

LEE’S RETURN TO CUBA. ,

It Is Said to Menu That the War Will
‘ Soon Terminate. , -

Waslflngton, Sept. 21.—Representativ

 

tlve part during the late session of con--
gress in the movement to settle the
Cuban question, believes the close of the
war is near at hand. He bases this;
opinion on the consent of General Lee
to return to Havana as consul general.
General Lee had said that he was will-
ing to continue in the office only on the
condition that he might be instrumental
in accomplishing an early settlement of
the war. .

one thing," said Mr. Livingstone. “Gen-
eral Lee never talked ambiguously in
his life. I don’t think he would go back
if he didn’t think the war would be set-
tled in his way, and that is our way."
