way in this section to-morrow. Temper-
ature fell in the United States yesterday;
the chief minimum reported was 26 dsv
gross below zero, at St. Vincent, Ilium;
the chief maximum 76. at Key West. In
this district to-day slightly colder. clear
weather and fresh northwesterly to wes-
terly winds will probably prevail. in the
Middle States and New England colder,
fair weather and fresh northwesterly to
westerly winds. On Thursday in this
section and in New England warmer,
fair weather and fresh to light north-
westsrly to southwesterly winds will
probably prevail, followed by partly
cloudy conditions in the western and
northern portions of this section; and on
Friday warmer, fair to partly cloudy
weather, follow by cloudiness and
snow or rain in t e western parts of this

young ladies were active canvassers and
they worked hard. A short description
of the dlflerent booths would not be
amiss. The first thing that strikes your
eye as you go in the door after you leave
the ticket office is a cigar stand presided
over by Sergeant Buxton where you can
get a cigar for use in the smoking room
upstairs. No smoking is allowed any-
where else. The next is the restaurant
where you can get a plate of ice cream
or a meal. The next is a booth which
contains a handsome setter dog, the pro-
perty of Sherman Ilorrell. which is being
disposed of by chance. It is a beauty
and only eleven months old. A hand-
some satin quilt is shown which is also
being disposed of by chance. Company

articles. both useful and ornamental.
Among the former is a handsome sewing
machine which was presented by the

furniture which are beautiful. The
Mathushek Piano company make a fine

Hoffman was celebrated by a small gath-

A surprise that was much appreciated by
all was the appearance of O. E. Weed,
E. F. Smith, Ed. Zeluff, G. W. Stevens
and Wm. Moore during the evening
bearing on their shoulders a variety of
gifts. They went to J. H. Steven’s store
and spent a long time going through his
immense stock of glass, crockery,wooden
and willow wars. They selected tin pans
of every description, kitchen utensils,
dishes and in fact enough to fill several
bushel baskets. They then tied the artio

pleted their work the line was at least

Several letters have been received by
Senator Flatt the past week from parties
whostats that' they are “republicans,"
and that“forthsbcst interests of the
sop-blush party” they camsstly urge
the confirmation of Mr. Herman Snyder.
thsdsmocratlc nominee, as postmaster
of our sister city. Senator Plats has
respectfully referred all these to the
chairman of the Senate post-office com-
mittee. We have the list of these let-
ters and names of the writers given us
by the chairman, and it is as well per-
haps to say that they do not constituts
any influential partof South Norwalk’s
republican grand army. Some of the
letters are written in one band and
signed in another, conclusively showing
that they had been industriously pre-
pared and cunningly devised for a pur-
pose. A rumor not very strongly conv
firmed, has reached here that these let—
ters are in some cases inspired by the
present postmaster, Mr. Dunning, but
why he should desire to aid the republb
can party. of Norwalk, by urging the
confirmation of a democratic successor
would bother one to determine, except
that he might hopetoeflect an “arrange-
ment” whereby he could continue to
handle the mails in a secondary position
rather tbanrisk the struggle for another
reappointment with sums half a dozen
zealous republican competitors already
in the field. But bothat as it may, the
impression made upon the republican
majority of the Senate post office corn-
mitten by such suspicious epistlcs as
these lsjnst the same as if the writers
had written them professing a yearning
desire for promoting the best interests or
the republican party by dropping out
Benjamin Harrbon and recommending
that Grover Cleveland be inaugurated.
The childlike and bland simplicity with
which each letter opens with an effusive
declaration of the signer‘s intense and
earnest republicanism has not made the
big hole in the blanket any the less easy
loses through by the old and trained
civil and criminal lawyers upon the post
ollics committee. If these anxiousre-

best interest and success of the republi-

morning it is his habit to take a coustb
tutional spin of about two miles on fact.
It was while enjoying this exhilarating
recreation that he was ”taken in."
On a beautiful cold day he left the ho-
tel and started down town. On Thirty-
ssventh street, between Fifth and Sixth
avenues, he was accosted by a red-faced.
middle-aged. poorly dreaisd woman. who
asked him if she was on the east or west
side of the city. She showed him a piece
of paper on which was writtsu ”Bellsvus

has broken his leg and is in the hospital.”
”Why, my good woman," remarked
Ir. Barnum, "you have got shot five

“Well. I have a good pair of legs. I
think I can walk it," observed the wo.

gave it to her. She refused to take it,

money, and sheacceptcd it. When he
returned to the hotel and told of his ado
venture he was laughs) at, and was its
formed that he had been “played for a

This view of the matter met umpccb

was returning to the hotel after his dolly

which were printed the words ”Coroner’s

Trouble In Ito-lord.
There is trouble in Stamford about the
collecticnof sue-manufor theborough
sewerage system—4o expensivcwovk re»
cently completed. about which there
has been so much controversy and disv
satisfaction. The amount uncollectcd
amounts to £10,000 to 31241”. The
property owners propose to test tho
right of the borough authorities to col—
lect it, and have united themselves for a
contest. The leader in tho opposition to
the assessment is Walton Ferguson, one
of the most wealthy residents. Council
for the taxpayers hold that there was
an inequality :in the assessments and
that they were not laid in proportion to
the benefit conferred. They will also
claim that certain proceedings in the
matter of levying tbs mm were
irregular. The borough board of burgeos
es have employed additional sonnssl,
audthcmatterissoon to be carried to
thesupsriorcourt.
