York Herald says : When the children and grandchil- dren of Edward H. Nash, a Westport millionaire, who is in his ninetieth year, recently assembled beside wvhat they believed to be his deathbed, they learned with surprise that had it not been for pneumonia the nonogenarian would have been married for the fourth time, on January 11. , Although Mr. Nash for several days was very near death and on January 8 was reported dead, a Norwalk paper publishing his obituary, he is now well on his way to recovery, he is looking forward expectantly to his marriage in the early spring to Mrs. Alfred J ack- son, a widow, of Norwalk, Conn., who is approaching her seventieth birth- day and has grandchildren. Unknown to his four children and fourteen grandchildren, the aged man has for sometime been courting Mrs. Jackson, and during the Christmas hol- idays the date for the wedding was agreed upon and a large sum set aside by' the prospective bridegroom as dow- er for his bride to be. The serious na- ture of his illness, it is now believed, was not due so much to pneumonia as to his bitter disappointment at being unable to have the marriage take place on the date agreed upon. ’ Mr. Nash’s first marriage was sixty- four years ago, in 1835, when he mar- ried the eldest daughter of Captain Samuel Gorham, a wealthy farmer. His first wife died in 1860, and in 1860 he made a second alliance, the bride be- ing Miss Margaret Williams, of Nor- walk, who was the mother of all his children. His third wife was Mrs. Marvin Tuttle, daughter of his own "cousin, Mrs Maria. Patrick. She died about three years ago. It is Mr. Nash’s boast that for fifty years he has been proprietor of a mill that his father before conducted for half a century. Mr. Nash has been prominent in the work of the First E- piscopal Church of Westport since its es- tablishment, in 1830, and in 1885 pro- vided funds for a new‘church building and rectory after having visited Eng- land to study church architecture there. The only office he had ever held is director in the West-port Bank of Discount, in which he is the largest shareholder. I Mr. Nash’s father, Daniel Nash, who was grandfather of former United States treasurer D. N. Morgan, lived to be ninety-five years old, and the son hopes to live one hundred years, quaintly remarking that few persons die after they reach that age.

Will Pace Him in 21 Motor V Wagon. One of the' present topics among Bridgeport wheelmen is the promised attempt of A. Preston Sherwood, formerly of this city and ex—‘captain of the Bridgeport Wheel club, to lower the record between New York and Boston the coming Season, which record is now held by A. M. Curtis, of Meriden. “Press” will make a dangerous com- lpetitor for the record. He is of athletic build, and always had a. barrel of strength in. reserve. 2, 3, 4 and 5 mile ameteur records for the state, made twq yeag's ago at Pleasure Beach. He holds the road record between Danbury and South Norwalk (1:03) and the road record be- tween Hartford and Norwalk (5:15). When making them he had no thought .of going in for road records, but simply ' plugged aloha. It used to be a joke with himto have his father take the train in Bridgeport for his home at SherwoOd Point, while “Press” would jump on‘his wheel and would be at home reading the paper by the time his father arrived. It is not settled just when “Press” will make the attempt at the record be- tween New York and Boston. It will depend upon his business, but he will get himself in shape this spring. He will use ”a Barnes racer, and will be paced by C. Ford Seeley, who will use a steam‘mdtor carriage which will be ,. Eted especially for the pacing. A pic’ ire of the carriage was in a. re- cent 11‘ mber of the L. A. W. Bulletin. Mr. Se ey is the Eastern representa- tiveof'i‘he Barnes people and the car- riage,j‘painted white, will be called the ”White Flyer. ” T question of this method of pac- ing—the use ofa motor carriages in- "- stead of the orthodox pacing by relays of wheelmen will perhaps create dis- cussion. In regard to that no record is really accepted between Boston and New York. Perhaps Curtis made his record clean enough, but who knows but that he was helpel over man ya bill by his pace. The motor machine has been employed at pace making in the Madison Square garden recently and it is just as fair to use on the road. - -= <vv CONTRACT AWARDED, The Burned Out Store of H. Krieger to be Rehabilitafed. The contract for the extensive repairs of the store in the Mahackemo block at South Norwalk, for many years occu- pied by H. Krieger, the milliner, has been awarded by the trustees of the Ely estate to the well known carpenter and builder, J. R. Raymond. The plans call for a thorough refitting of the store bothon the ground floor and basement, and when completed it is expected that it will be in evenbetter shape than be- fore the fire which made such repairs necessary. Mr. Krieger expects to re- sume business at the old stand some time next month. =vv = Goodrich’s Big Scheme. James W. Goodrich, the circus pro- prietor, says he proposes to startle the world next season by putting a herse- less wagon show on the road. He will buy several powerful auto-mobile wag- ons and the circus paraphernalia will be conveyed from town to town by these propellers. This will do away entirely with draft horses. Manager Goodrich says he will also arrange so that for a moderate cost people may ride in the horseless wag- ons. He is much impressed with the invention of.Henry A. House of this city. The circus manager says he ex- pects a business of large proportions with his new show. —Bridgeport Farmer. ‘ 7‘ Henry Smith has taken a position with the Crow Machine company, of Water street, as stenographer and type. writei.

It was said last night that the six men then drew lots for the piece of skin which had been tatooed. As hard and as disagreeable this necessary work in the course, has it’s comic side. Several of the men last night tried artificial respiration upon one of the bodies. 01' course they had no idea of making the subject breathe. A cigarette was lightad and placed in the mouth of the figure when 10! it began smoking as ralmly and is it as naturally as it would in life.
