TURKEY MAKES TROUBLE.
Picked a Pint of Beads Off a Lady’s Wrap.
A Danbury man, who is employed in
New Milford, 'won a big turkey at a
raffle in that town Wednesday night
and took the gobbler home with him
in a bag. It was Sheved in head first in
order that its feet might be used as a
handle to carry the bag and, that the
turkey might not suffocate, a hole was
cut in the bottom of the bag through
which the bird’s head protruded.
*It was a well behaved turkey, giv-
ing its owner no trouble, and the latter
stood it up in a corner of the car seat
while he read a newspaper on the
journey home. The train had nearly
reached Danbury when a woman who
occupied the seat back of the turkey,
uttered a cry of dismay.
Looking around to learn the cause of
the disturbance, the Danbury man saw
the turkey in the act of pecking a jet
head froma wrap belonging to the lady
in the seat behind and which wa€:hang-
ing on a'hook. The back of the wrap
which had been entirely covered with
the jet ornaments, was then almost
stripped of them, the turkey having
eaten fully a pint of the beads. "\The
owuer of the turkey sought to compro-
mise by'offeriug to restore the beads to
their owner after the turkey was killed
but, singularly enough, the offer was
not accepted and the woman was in an
indignant frame of mind when the Dan-
bury man leftthe car with the turkey
under his arm. V

GENERAL CHARLES OLMSTEAD.
“When hearts whose truth was proven.
Like thine, are laid in earth,
There should a wreath be woven
To. tell theworld their worth.”
General Charles Olmstead passed in-
to eternal rest shortly after 1 o’clock
to-day. after a somewhat protracted ill-
ness. 4 .
To have known General Olmstead in-
timately was to respect him, and his
.. » death awakens a sense of personal loss
» beyond our power to express.
He was
a man of good education and attain,
ments, distinguished for his honesty,
his purity and his Christian faith, and
though he leaves no earthly. riches, he
leaves what is better—a stainless name
and tin-example for emulation.
General Olmstead was born in Ridge-
field September 28th 1825. He came
to NorWalk when a young man and
taught‘school in the old . brick school
house at Winnipauk, going from there
to the {Academy at the head of Lewis
street...a After leaving the Academy he
entered into the grocery‘ business on
Mainésweet with the late Increase Al-
len Weorge Meeker, the firm being
tM‘eeker &' Olmstead. The bus-
sunsuccessful and in 1862 he
was appointed postmaster of Norwalk
by president Lincoln, a p051tion which
he helduntii President Cleveland was
elected when he was succeeded by A.
C. Gelding.
Geheral Olmstead has held many
offices of.trust in the town, at the time
of his death being secretary of the
board of School visitors. He also repre-
sented Norwalk in the Legislature for
several terms. ' Upon the election of
Governor P. C. Lounsbury he selected
