has her poverty and her gilded crime,

Wonderful laperlcnce of a Related and
Brave Traveler In Peat Swamp.
The following snake story in to-day’s
issue of the Gazette deserves to be wide-
Iy circulated. We think it entitles its
author to the distinction of champion
liar of the state, and there are many big
snake story tellers in this common-
weallb. Here is the story:
A belated traveler, while driving from
Norwslk to Westport about midnight on
Saturday night was startled, while going
through Peat Swamp, by his horse sud-
denly mining to a stand-still and prune
ing and shying to one side with every
indication of fright and terror The
driver jumped to the ground, took the
afirighted animal by the bridle and
peered ahead to ascertain the cause of
its alarm. In the dim light of the moon

ahead what appeared to be a log lying
across the road from one side to the
other. He attempted to lead the horse
III-earl, intending to remove the log.

by some mischief loving boys, but the
Blllm‘tl refused to be led and nearly es-
caped in its efforts to buck farther away
from the object in the road. The gentle-
man a confidence in the ssgactty of
the horse prompted him to investi-
gate. He tied the horse to a sapling
and went ahead. 0o arriving at the
log he gave it a kick and was
astonished to find it soft and yield.

being roused to the highest pitch he

stood spellbound, rooted to the spot,a
quiver ran through the thing and, glanc-

the be id sway mg to and fro like an in-
vetted clock pendulum. By this time
the man recovered his senses sufficient
to reaiize his desperate predicament and,
drawing a revolver from his pocket,
he fired two shots at the flaming eyes
and ran for his horse. At least one of
his bullets must have taken effect, for as
he run he heard the most violent thrash-
ing and snapping of underbruab, and, on
turning his head, he saw the“log" being
swiftly drugged across into the swamp,
and as the tail was snatched across out
sight it was whisking and snapping the
air like the snapper on a horse whip,
cutting down sprouts and stripping the
bark from the trees in its way. The
enormous reptile was headed towards

be the “thief” who has for months past

pital on Sunday of hemorrhage from the
lungs. His death is attributed directly
to an unfortunate excursion of which he
was the manager. He brought a crowd
of people from up the Housatouic Valley
for an excursion by boat to Coney Island
on Saturday. Tickets were also sold in
Bridgeport. The buyers exceeded by
several hundred those who could be
taken on the boat. Colonel Wright was
greatly worried over the affair. When
the boat returned many of those who
had been left met if, and their com-
plaints to C Ilouel Wright were very hit-
ter. He became greatly exerted and
the hemorrhage followed. He was taken
to the hospital, where he sank gradually
and died on the following day.
Colonel Wright had served several
terms in the Massachusetts legislature
and was at onetime a member of Gov-
ernor Butler‘s staff. During the war he
had command of a platoon of the Harris
Light Cavalry, and took part in twenty-
niue engagements. He was captured by
the rebels at Belle Isle. On BattlerFlag
Day in Hartford he was given an im-
portant command.

day. “That's the fourth customer I’ve
lost today, because I did not have Brus-
sels soup. I’ll order some at once.”
Twenty-Third C. Y
The reunion of the 23d 0. V., held at
Seaside park yesterday, brought together
about 150 members. A business meeting
was held at 11:30 and the following offic-
ers elected. Major D. H. Ifiller, of
Georgetown. president; Captain J. R.
Jenkins, of Mount Vernon, N. Y., vice-
president; and William H. Blue, of
Bridgeport, secretary and treasurer. An
executive committee from each company
was then appointed and Major Weecouie
of Danbury, was elected an honorary
member. The last named gentleman de-
livered an address to the veterans its-
sembled, recalling the times when he
had camped with this regiment at Camp
Terry and 'at‘ many other places in the
south during the campaign. After the
address of Major Wescome an adjourn-
ment was taken and the veterans then
sat down to a shore dinner at Bowen’s
pavilion. When the regiment reas-
sembled for the continuance of the busi-
ness meeting it was decided to recon-
struct the llatsnow existing and to make
out new ones, as many of their comrades
who met with them at previous reunions
had since died. It was also decided to
hold the next reunion in Bridgeport.
The butchers of Bridgeport are mak-
ing extensive preparations for a barbe-
cue, to occur tomorrow.
