lunar llllPlllilll.

Papa kicked him out.

But a young Lochinvar escapes with
one of Wilton’s fair daughters.

Wilton, the quiet little hamlet among
the hills six miles north of Norwalk,
has a sensation, a real live elopement,
which occurred early Sunday morning
before the city folk were astir, but not
before the prosperous farmer is up and
kicking, as events proved. ,

Sunday morning about 4 o’clock a
well dressed young man visited Sol-
man’s livery stable on Washington
street, South Norwalk, and approach-
ing night watchman George Seymour,
familiary called “Chick,” and told him
he wanted to engage a two-seated
surrey to convey him to Belden Hill,

Wilton.
The bargain was soon made and the

 

team paid for.

Not being able to leave the stable
“Chick” called in the services of Edgar
Terrell, who occasionally drives for the
stable, and he started off with the
young man.

At the young man’s direction Edgar
drove to the home of a prosperous
farmer in Belden Hill and stopped the
horse before the gate.

It was just 7le when the gentleman
alighted from the carriage and walked
up the broad walk leading to the
farm house.

Cautiously approaching the door he
gave a light knock. Suddenly the
door was thrown open and in the door-
way stood the irate form of the farmer.

“You here?” he hoarsely roared, at
the same time planting the toe of his
number ten boot on the softest part of
the young man’s anatomy sending him
flying off the doorstep. '

Just at this juncture a side door
opened and a young girl carrying her
hat in one hand and a valise in the
other made a dash down the walk for
the carriage.

As the young lady flew towards the
gate the young man, who was debating
within himself whether to return and
have it out with the farmer, caught
sight of her.

Without further noticing the garmer
the young man also took to his heels
and ran to assist his love into the car--
riage. When both had gotten in
Edgar, who until he witnessed the old
man’s reception of his young friend
and the flight of the girl, was ignorant
of his passenger’s intentions became
imbued with the spirit of the occasion
and drove old Dobbin towards Norwalk
at a. faster gait than he ever went be-

fore.

The old farmer, however, did not
give chase and young Lochinvar and
his love reached Norwalk safely, and
were driven to the depot where they
took the 9:45 Pittsfield express through
to New York, where they were un-
doubtedly married, and where they
will remain until they receive the us-
ual parental forgiveness.

Willie Russell, son of Mr. and Mrs.
James E. Russell of Orchard street,
had a narrow escape from drowning
while in bathing at the rear of Attor-
ney J. J. Walsh’s Blackstone cottage
near Dorlon Point on Saturday.

Mr. and Mrs. Russell with their son
Willie, rode down to Mr. Walsh’s on
Saturday afternoon to enjoy a sea bath.

After enjOying the bathing for some
time Mr. and Mrs. Russell left the
water and retired to their bathing
houses leaving Willie and two small
children in the water near the shore.

Soon after his parents left the water
Willie went down the long gang plank
leading=to a float at which Attorney
Walsh léeeps his skiff. Upon reaching
the floatl’Ehe deliberately jumped oil“ into
eight or ten feet of water, the tide be-
ing high. Being unable to swim he
went under. When he came up he
yelled as did the other children on the
beach. l

Mr. Russell hearing the cries of the
children looked but of the bathing
house and saw Willie struggling in the
water. ‘He dashed down to the beach
and plunged in, but before he had
reached Willie he had gone under.

Quickly diving beneath the water he
saw the :drowning boy and brought him
to the surface and started for the shore.
He had made but a few strokes, how-
ever, when his bathing tights became
loosened a 1d dropped down around his
ankles and feet and prevented the use

 

of his legs.

Mr. Russell still retaining hold of
Willie made an effort to disengage his
feet, which he finally succeeded in do"

ing and swam ashore with his almost
lifeless son.

Quite .a crowd had collected by this
time, and the boy was grasped by the
feet and held downward until the
water he-had swalIOWed ran out when"
he was given a thorough rubbing until
he regained consciousness.

MI 5. Russell, who had witnessed the
having

scene, was nearly overcome

not long since passed through a simi-
lar experience herself,but through the
kindness and attention of the ladies
present she recovered from her excite-

ment.

Clapp Spocner Dead.

Clapp Spooner, ex-Mayor of Bridge-
port, died Sunday, aged 75 years.
Three years ago he was struck by a
trolley car and severely injured, and,
though he has been able to be about,
never recovered, and death was the
result of the accident. He was connect-
ed with the Adams Express Company
for many years and was once Vice-
President. He was a. _ director when
John Hoey was President. He retired
about four years ago. He was also
largely interested in the Plant System.
He leaves a large fortune to be divided
between three children.

Gift. From Gov. Lounsbury.

The soldiers of the home at N oroton
were made happy last Saturday by the

bury. At the supper a vote of thanks
was tendered the governor for his kind
remembrance of them and also three
rousing good cheers for the Governor
of the state of Connecticut. He is the
first governor of the state that ever did
anything of this kind, and it was fully
appreciated by every man, from the
superintendent down.
