Is in a Dying Condition at the Norwalk Hospital. John McManus met with an accident near Glenbrook last night that will probably prove fatal. McManus belongs in New Haven and was in New York in Search of work, where he made the acquaintance of a man who gives his name as Michael McCormack. In company with two other men they boarded freight train No. 180 for the purpose of securing a 1ide to New Haven. The first known of the accident was by one of the quartette telling McCor- mack that his friend had fallen from the train. To a reporter McCormack this morn- ing gave the following story of the ac- cident: “Me and McManus met each other in New York, and as he was go- ing my way and 1 was willing to go hls’n we jumped a freight for that city. I went to sleep on the bumpers and supposed that my pard did the same. “I was woke up by one of the fellows who said there is one of us missing and that is your friend. I made up my mind that McManus had fell off and got the train stopped. “I told the conductor and some one went back and found the man dead to the world beside the track. He was brought to the South Norwalk depot, and I stuck by him, and here I am in jail. N 0 one was to blame but him- self.” A telephone message brought the ambulance to the depot and the unfor- tunate man was taken to the hospital It was seen that his injuries were of such a nature that there was hardly a possibility, of his living, and the chief of police at New Haven was asked to locate the young man’s relatives, with the result that his sister and uncle reached here at an early hour this morning and are at the hospital. His injuries so far as shown consist of a frightful fracture on the frontal part of his head. The nurse and her attendants with the aid of the attend- ing physician have done all in their power to relieve the suffering if any of the poor fellow who seems to be un- consciously nearing his final dissolu- tion. . He 15 about 18 years of age, and a member of a beneficent order in New Haven. ‘ ‘ Changes of Military. Dflicers. The adjutant-general has placed Cap- tain Albert J. Wilcoxson, Company D.

Town clerks are continually sending back to the state secretary’s office un- used ballot envelopes from the recent election. This is unnecessary, as under Section 8, Chapter 213, of the Public Acts of 1897, town clerks are required to destroy all mutilated and unused en- velopes and so certify to the state see- retary under oath—Hartford Courant. AA— Vvvr new cAuAAn. Miss Mamie Pennoyer and Mr. Wal- ter Barnes were married Wednesday night at eight o’clock at the bride’s home on Main street. Mr. William Quigg has put an addi- tion on his house. Mrs. Thomas Fairity and her mother ' Mrs. Lockwood spentlthe day in Stam— ford on wednesday. A certain young man on Main street who was out for a lark one night, met a damsel fair, as he supposed, and took a stroll. When he neared the gas light he took a peep at the fair creat- ure’ 3 face and to his great surprise he discovered that the young lady was a lady of color. Sail for Home. (By Cable to Gazn'r're.)

Charles E. Bill of New Haven, 21 pcs- . tal clerk on th'e Northampton division of the “Consolidated” road, was arrest- ed yesterday afternoon . by United States Post Office Inspector Bellman of Boston, on the charge of embezzling $15 in money and a pension check. He was given a preliminary hearing before United States Commissioner William A. Wright. He pleaded not guilty and a hearing will take place Saturday. It is alleged that Bill abstracted a let- ter addressed to Mrs. William Currie of Plainville. The money was in three $5 bills and the check, which was made payable to William Currie, had been sent to him by his wife. -—-————‘0.0>———— Information Wanted. To any one who may be able to give information of the following: Who can tell anything in regard to one John Stuart, who, in 1805, was living at New Canaan ‘9 He was Scotch descent and claimed lineage with the royal Stuarts of Scotland. His wife’s name may have been Sally, but I imagine Sally was his sister. He had one sister, Abigail, who married first Ichabod Davis, presumably of Mass, and their daughter Martha was born in that state, July 1775. They removed to Pittston, Pa., in 1788. This Abigail Stuart was my great- great-grandmother. Can anything be found on New Canaan records to prove that she was born there '9 If any rec- ord is found of John Stuart, cannot the record of his parents, brothers and sisters also be found ? If this comes to the notice of any one of the descen- dants of this family, or to the minister or custodian of the church records,will they not carefully search out all possi- ble dates for me, by visiting the old cemetery, etc. Any help that I may receive in this matter that will throw light on the subject I shall be most willing to remunerate for the trouble. Almost all I know of this family is traditional, but sometimes a little clue unfolds a whole history. I have in my possession a letter written to a neice of John Stuart by her mother and father in 1805. This neice was Miss Laura Blanchard, and she was spending the winter with her uncle in New Canaan. ‘ An Aunt Sally is mentizned in the let- ter, and a visit that this young lady had previously made to relatives at Nor- walk, Conn. Can anyone tell if these Stuarts belong to the Stuarts of Nor- walk? I copy the following from Savage’s Geneological Dictionary: "Robert Stuart of N orwalk moved from Milford in 1650, 12th June; married Bethia Pambell of Stratford; had children, James, .born 19th March, 1662; Abigail: 6th Aug. 1666; John, March 1668. It seems more than probable to me that there must have been the same family, but of course they were born too early for my Abigail and her brother John, but it could be that one of these men was their father. I am greatly interested in this mat- ter and am constantly endeavoring to find the lost link. Who will help me ‘2. This is my line: Abigail Stuait I Ichabod Davis, Martha Davis, I Isaac Miles, Rebecca Miles , L. A. Jones, Mary J ones, I Jacob Myers, Julia Myers, J William Bacon. . Abigail married second, Jeremiah Blanchard of Pennsylvanla. Trusting to receive an early response, I am, Very truly, MRS. WILLIAM W. BACON, Corning, N. Y. —————-—-——<0.0>—-——-— Darien Bird Did Not Come to Time. A party of Norwalk sports came to Stamford last night with a suspicious- looking basket, the contents of which were closely guarded. From part of their conversation which was over- heard, it was taken that they came here by appointment to meet a Darien party with a similar basket. The lat- ter party, however, did not put in ap- pearance, and the disgusted sports re‘ turned home. The basket contained a game cock, and had the Darienites kept their part of the agreement there would have been a cock fight—Advo- Cate. ‘A‘ ‘v' Civil Service Examination. There will be a civil Service examin- ation for the grade of carrier and clerk, at the South N orwalk post office, on Saturday, November 13. UNION VETERANS umon. Norwalk Men Elected to Dmoe at the .

A ‘v' At Best. ‘ Yesterday afternoon there sank to , final rest the embodiment of all that was gra ndly’ good 1n womankind 1n the person of Abigail Denison, relict of the late Captain Joseph J. Jennings of Southport, and mother of Funeral di- rector James D. Jennings, of this city, with whom she had spent her final days. She was a daughter of J ames. and Rebecca Denison and was born in Lan- singburg, N. Y. She had long been a resident of Southport where she en- joyed the respect and esteem of all, as was indeed the case in her few years residence in Norwalk. Of a lovable nature she won the friendship of all with whom she came in contact. Truly God has called one of his own home to heaven. Her sands of life simply ran out and she passed from earth to heaven at a ripe old age. The funeral will take place from the home of her son on Elm street on Monday next, the in- terment being in oak Lawn cemetery at Southport.
