Yesterday wasa day that a party would hesitate before selecting it as just the right sort of a day for an “out- ing” at the seashore, woods or island. The skies were lower-y and there were fitful falls of rain during the day with an occasional glint of the sun’s rays. There were two picnics of unusual strength announced to take place on the shores of our harbor, i. e., the Stevens club, com posed largely of local celebrities and business men and the Lobster club of New York, who make an annual outing to Gregory’s Point. Arrangements were completed for both outings some days ago and no bored. .. _‘ 4 The New York party, nearly'.300 strong. reached Gregory’s Pointlon a, Isteamer chartered . for the:' occasiOn, and proceeded to‘enjoy themselves a; only a “Lobster” knows how. ' ' ' [Landlord O’Sullivan had made? full provision for the cO‘mert and rain, each and every one seemed to be? in a joysome mood. ' The bake when served was found to be all that a gathering of “epicureans” with a crustaceus name could wish for, and. was partaken of with a zest that make the "outsiders”_ hungry. A number of the visitors took a ride over the electric car lines, and stopping off at way stations made several new acquaintances. The other party was what is known as the True Stevens club, and the date of their annual outing was August 11th, a date that will not soon be forgotten by all who participated in the outing.

Ball at Saugaluck. ‘ ,A ‘ _ _, AConsolidated Railroad Employee fleets a Frightful Death. At about two o’clock this morning, when at Saugatuck, the engineer on a down train discovered the mangled re- mains of a man lying on the tracks a short distance from the depot. A further investigation resulted in the recognition of the victim as James Curran, who had been in the employ of the Consolidated railroad, for the past three years, as day signal man. What train struck him is not' yet definitely known, nor at what time the accident occurred. The accident was within a hundred feet of the man’s home, and his dis- membered limbs were found within a few feet of the poor victim’s dooryard. It is thought that he was on his way home, and as a shorter out he was walking on the tracks to reach the same. The remains were taken to the star tion and the Medical Examiner sum- moned. It was found that his right arm had been cut off near the shoulder, his right foot dismembered at the ankle, his left leg badly lacerated above the knee, his left arm crushed, his back split, and parts of his head fmashed almost to a pulp. The remains were later taken charge of by Undertaker Charles Fable. The deceased was about 36 years of age, a native of Southport, and he was quite well known in Norwalk.
