Norwalk is enjoying a sensation in

department. The captain has resigned

council to walk the streets all night do-

that he should be shrewd enough to

emphasizing the hint with a kick. The

cident to a possible reorganization of
the department, is awakening the poli~

What They Were.
A bicycling party from‘Stamford was
pursuing its leisurely way along the
road towards Norwalk the other day,
when they came to a particularly well-
kept kitchen garden. A patch of most
interesting growing things ran beside
the fence for a distance of forty feet.

“What lovely color!” said one of the
girls.
“‘They would do to print,” said the
artist.
. “Won’t you please tell us what those
beautiful things are?” asked the girl.
The gardener glanced around in
amazement, and then simply said.
"Which?” .
“Why, these things growing along

Alpitying smile spread slowly ove

Elllllfllll SWINDLEN.
w
A very slick colored bunco' rascal
has been in town for the last two weeks.
He was of medium height very dark
and stout and bowlegged and wore a
' blue serge suit.
' He gave his name as Tucker and said
he was staying at the Hoffman House
in Stamford, which statement was true.
He said he was from Orange N. J.,
and represented a firm of which he
was a member, which firm was putting
out $25 wheels at $5 each.
He introduced himself among the
colored folks and began to canvass for
customers for his wheel.
He stated that the Rev. Harris, pas-
tor ofa Stamford church, and several
,of his parishoners had engaged wheels,
which statement was also true.
The people whom he succeeded in
getting‘to engage wneels did not wish
to {pay all down, and so Rev. Beecher
Carter, the Baptist minister of this
city, was named to hold half.
With this understanding Mrs. Wil-
liam H. Fisher of 23 Monroe street,
Miss Pinckey Thomas, a domestic em-
ployed by Mrs. Robert A. McDonald,
and Miss Jane Simpson, employed by
Mrs. \Villiam Randle Smith, advanced
$2.50 each, while Jacob Benjamin, who
is employed by J. ‘Stanley Vanderhoef,
advanced the whole $5.
Tucker promised the wheels in a
short time, and last Tuesday was at a
prayer meeting with Rev. Harris and
several other Stamford people, when
he stated the wheels had not come.
\Vednesday morning about 11 o’clock
he went to Mrs. Carter and asked for
the money saying the wheels had come.
Mrs. Carter refused to give up the
money until she had seen the wheels
and made an appointment to go to the
station and see them.
Mr. Tucker left and going to the rail-
road station bought a ticket to Stam~
ford, where he probably cleaned out
everything he could get hold of.
He then came back to Norwalk and
met Mrs. Carter He said the wheels
would not be up from New York until
about 5:30 o’clock. Mrs. Carter said
she could not wait but would return.
When she did return, however, she
could not find Tucker, but inquiry of
the ticket agent, Miss Florence Brown,
elicited the information that he had
bought a ticket for New Haven.
Having ta'ken in Stamford badly,
and Norwalk to the tune of $12.50, he
is probably trying his luck in New
Haven. Steps will be taken to have
him arrested.

l Burrville, drove into Winsted Monday
l in a highlyexcitedstate in quest of a
. physicianzto attend‘his wife, who had
j been-bittenvby a snake, presumably a
E rattler. Mrs. Stoeckert went out to
the pastiire for their horse and as she
‘ was walking along a. snake darted out
from a clump of bushes and drove its
fangs in to the woman’s fiesh a short
distance above the right ankle. The
woman hastened back to the house in
great alarm and told of her experience.
Two marks were visiible and the limb
commenced to swell rapidly. Mr.
Stoeckert endeavored to suck out the
poison and applied ordinary remedies
before seeking medical assistance.

DRY Goons TRUST.
Wlll Raise $50,000,000 to Contra.-
S‘tores Throughout the Country.
NE'IV YORK, Aug. 24.—Arrangements
are maturing for the organization of a
$50.000,000 dry goods corporation in this
city to control and operate dry goods and
department stores tlfroughout the coun
‘try. The Mercantile Reorganization com
pany has recently been incorporated in
Trenton as a preliminary to creating the
big corporation.
Men well known in the dry goods trade
have been working on the plan for six
months, and, it is said, have interested
financiers who will back the enterprise.
It isiexpectcd that the corporation will be
launched in time for the fall trade.
It is proposed to buy retail stores in
cities having a population of 20,000 or
more. The company expects to control
from 500 to 2,000 stores throughout the
country. Many merchants, it is said,
have already signified their intention of
joining the combinaion. Former proprie-
tors of stores absorbed by the corporation
will be retained as managers and will
have interests in the stores. They will
become stockholders in the company.
The parent store will be in this city, as
the base of supplies for the branch es—
tablishments.
Expenses of traveling salesmen will be
eliminated, and the promoters of the
enterprise believe their system will avert
the evil of bad debts. It is proposed to
control the output of certain mills, and
all purchases. will be made in immense
quantities. In this manner the organi-
zers believe the price to the consumer can
be reduced. , .
G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT.
Plans For the Naval Parade at Phil-
adelphia Completed.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 24.—With
the exception of a few minor details the
arrangements for the encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic. which be-
gins Iggy-e a week from next Monday, are
complete. The general committee has
issued the order of the naval parade on
Sept. 8, which is_t9_ be 9gp 9f the big
features of the reunion. Admiral amp-
son’s fleet will anchor in the Delaware
river opposite the city, and the vessels to
pass around the warships will form in
line at Miffiin bar, below League Island.
Commodore Josiah R. Adams’ flagship
will lead the procession, followed by the
reviewing ship, containing President Mc-
Kinley and Secretary of the Navy Long
and other cabinet officers. The Russian
naval officers who are here awaiting the
completion of the warships new building
at Cramps’ will have a place of honor in
the line.
The Grand Army parade on Sept. 5
will be reviewed by President McKin-
ley from an immense stand on the east
plaza of the city hall. Afterward the
president will be entertained at lunch-
eon in the rooms of the department of
public works in the city hall.
The general committee has received
definite announcements from General
Miles and Adjutant General Corbin that
they will attend the encampment.
CZAR’S ILLNESS SERIOUS ?
Paris Papers Say He Must Undergo
an Operation.
PARIS, Aug. 24.—The Courrier du
Soir, which receives information from
the French foreign office, publishes the
following: .
“The amnesia with which the czar has
just been struck seems to indicate a dan-
gerous physiological situation. Emperor
Nicholas is about to go to Darmstadt
with the empress, and he will confide the
regency to his granduncle, Nicholas Mi-
chaelovitch. During his stay abroad
the czar will undergo the operation of
trephining, the result of which is uncer-
tain, despite the progress in surgical sci-
once. We may therefore not see our
sovereign ally in Paris.” '
The paper proceeds to recall the dis-
illusions of the czar since his accession
to the throne and points out that the
dynasty of Nicholas I will become cx-
tinct if he does not recover from his af—
fliction.
Inquiries made in different quarters
point to the paper’s statements being con-
siderably exaggerated.
Three Killed by a Train. .
SEABRIGHT. N. J., Aug. 24.—-Three
persons were killed and three injured by
a train here last evening within sight of
their home, where a birthday dinner
awaited them. The three lives were a
sacrifice to the penurious policy of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey, which
has persistently refused to guard the
most dangerous crossings of its south-
ern division. Protests of cottagers
against the constant menace to life and
ordinances of the borough commissioners
have been defied. with the result that
Seabright had one of the worst tragedies
in its history. ,
Change In Artillery Service.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2-1. -—The war
department has published an order which
rearranges slightly the composition of
regiments of artillery, increasing the
number of men in the light batteries and
decreasing the number in the heavy bat-
teries. Each regiment will hereafter con-
sist of 12 batteries of heavy artillery of
113 men each and two batteries of field
artillery of 162 men each. The change
is made because experience has shown
that the light batteries had not sufiicient
men to handle six pieces.
The Scorpion to Visit Long Brangh.
“'ASHINGTON, Aug. 24. ~Acting
Secretary of the Navy Allen has deter»
mined to send the Scorpion to Long
Branch tomorrow, at which time the
president will be there to take part in a
patriotic demonstration. The people
' have raised a large quantity of supplies
for the Porto Rican sufierers, and the
Scorpion will take these aboard, at the
same time representing the navy in the
demonstration.

Roberts. but he received a telegramjfrom
Milwaukee saying that $1,500 had been
