In speaking of the plans of the (ion-

tracks the New Haven Register says:
"Instead of four tracking a loop toad
may he built from Darien to the House-
tonic river, passing through tippf'r Nor-
walk and North Bridgeport a distance of
24 miles.
“From Norwalk the new road would
run through the agricultural districts in
the town of Weslport and Fairfleld, and
in nearly an air line. Saogatuck river
would be crossed by an iron bridge.
Weatport, which Is now practically side
tracked, would be on the new line.
“Over in the town of Fairfleld Mill
river and some lesser streams would he
crossed by substantial iron bridges and
then the new railroad would enter
Brltlgrp-tl‘l, the plan, being to survey
the illll‘ through the modern part of that
town. From the pretIminary sketches
of the it-rritory it appears that the route
through northern Bridgeport. is practic
able and tin-re are but few engineering

“The road would cross the I'I"t‘l' at
Bridgeport at a point where it would be
unnecessary to put in a drawbridge, and
this enemy of express trains would be
avoided. The old road in passing
through Bridgeport loops to south, and
all of this diverting from a straight line
would he saved.

The Norwnlks at Albany.
The Norwalks played a game with the
Albany-I at Albany Saturday afternoon
and were defeated by a score of 5 to 3.
The Albany Journal says: The visitors
showed up exceedingly well in practice,
and the spectators thought that they
would easily beat the home team. All
were big fellows, and the Albanys look-
ad like boys when compared with them.
However "the kids," as Albany team
was termed,,out played the visitors in
the field and at the bat, and in base-run-
with the home team. Davis led in this
respect with Walsh and Holmes
closely following. In battery Dana
led, Bowen, Walsh and Rogers,
divided the honors between them in field-
ing, but the work of Quinn on third base
notwithstanding his two errors, was re-
markably good. Morgan's line running
catch in the first inning by which be
doubled up the runner at third base was
a prominent feature of the game. For
the visitors Rogers played finely at first,
and Gockman with Sullivan did fairly
well. Lovell led the visitors in hitting.
All in all it wasaiinaconttnt.
Three thousand people were in attend-
ance at the we place yesterday to wit-
ness a game between the same clubs, but

Doughnuts at Half Price.
Saturday morning the colored young

doughnuts about town went into C. H.

and asked George Nash, one of the

pounds of pulverized sugar. The dough-
nut peddler went home, sugared sight
dozen doughnuts, and started on his
usual daily rounds. ‘A family in South
Norwalk to whom he sold some of his
toothsome fried cakes, detected a pecul-
iarly astringent lasts about them. The
attention of the young man was called
to this fact, when it was discovered that
he had “sugared" his doughnuts with
powdered alum. Mr. Nash hasgot the

The services at the Norwalk Methodist
church yesterday were commemorative
of Jesse Dre's entrance Into New Eng-
land as the official representative of
Methodisiu. The pastor, Rev. George
Van Alstyne, took for his topic In the
morning, "The Man on Horseback Spy-
log out New England." His discourse
treated of the character and qualities of
Jesse Lee as a man; the moral and religi-
ous condition of New England in 1789;
the blind prejudices which met Mr. Lee
on every hand and his persistent courage
and final great success. Mr. VanAlstyne
spoke of the moral and spiritual benefits
Methodism has been toall churches of
New England, and of its steady and
strong developmentarhich now amounts
to several thousand churches, a thousand
traveling preachers, 142,0f0 communi-
cants, 141,000 Sunday school scholars,
together with asvsal educational insti-
tutions.
After the sermon there wasa black-
board exercise with tho intention of rais-
ing 82,000 with which to pay for con-
templatcd repairs to the auditorium of
the church. The congregation became
so Interested In the exercise that in about
thirty minutes they subscribed $2,364.
In the evening,continuing the thoughts
of the morning, Mr. Van Alstyne
preached from this subject: "The Be-
ginning and Development of Methodism
In Norwalk.” The sermon was deeply
interesting, recounting as It did the his-
toryand growth of Methodism in Norb

development of the Methodist church in

Public Water.
Editor of Sentinel:—
Will you kindly permit one who has
not been mixed up with the various pro-
jects for increasing the supply and head
of our public water to ofl'er a few sug—
gestions with reference thereto. From
various sources the writer learns that a
proposition will be made at the meeting
to-night to construct a new and large
reservoir somewhat above the one form-
erly recommended, and after its comple-
tion to do away with the present one.
By constructing the new proposed reser-
voir at the point indicated an additional
head of between 95 and 30 feet will be
secured, which, by reason of the greater
head, will largely increase the water
supply in this city and give the residents
on the hills water at all times, so much
desired and asked for.
By running an 18 or20 inch main from
the new reservoir (20 inch would be bet-
ter) to the present 12 Inch stain and con-
necting with it by a reducer, leaving the
other branch so that it can in the future
connect with a new 12 or 14 Inch main,
as shall be deemed advisable, it is be-
lieved that for the next ten years no
other main would be necessary.
If this suggestion is made and carried
Into effect by the meeting to-night, the
writer is clearly of the opinion that it
will give the best of satisfaction to all
concerned. .
Titers is another matter that should
not he lost sight of,,that is, the adoption
of some method of purifying the water,
which the comfort and good health of
the peoplsof this city sourgsntly require
and desire. Oman

It is said that the way was paved for send-

great Scotch ship builder. The latter is a
friend of the King of Belgium,vrboso infarct
