late John Jay Bell of Noroton, who died

back from the highway upon a series of
terraces. leaving the highway you go
up two terrncm by steps to the house,
'which stands partially on this terrace
ands third one. The main portion of
the house is covered with a Dutch gable
roof, the central past of which is sur-
rounded by a balustrade. In front of
the house is an old well from which
water is drawn b a bucket.

of which stands the present or, which
was once a kitchen. An oi Dutch oven
still remains there. The walls of this
room are covered with a great variety of
patterns at wall paper. These were put
on to give it the appearance of a Japan;
one room, and to make it humanize with
the many Japaues articles set about

The other rooms on this floor are fitted

Passing from the lower hell up a pair

Boatnicn in the vicinity of Stamford,
and the relatives and friends of those on

Advocate, over the non-appearance of
Captain stls’ fishing smack “Sea Ser-
p'snt," which left that part three weeks
ago on a fishing cruise of! Block Island.
Captain Davis and John Arnold were on
board and their families have been mak-
ing many inquiries regarding their un-
usually long cruise. Some appreheriaions
are felt that the host may have met with
some disaster.
There is no occasion for further alarm,
alongside the Washington street bridge
in this city. Captain Davis smiled this
morning when a Ssa‘rlnsl. reporter
showed an article in the Stamford Advo-
cate, relating to the a prehensions felt
regarding his safety. e didn’twreaiize,
he said. that he had been away from
home so long until Mr. Arnold called his
attention, to the fact a day or two ago.
The captain said he did very little fish-
ing the first week, on account of rough
weather. This was the cause of his long
absence. During a storm one night the
Sn Serpent dragged her anchor and ran
into another smack. Little damage was

Thesignhaacreated no end of com.
ment and some little excitement in that
good old Methodist neighborhood.
,“Why,” exclaimed one of Mr. Osboru‘s
neighbors, "it‘s perfectly scandalous.
Just think of a rgood Methodist like
‘Tommy,’ raiding of! a goat. I know
he has tried to rsise‘a goat es. but when
it comes to buying a goat and rsilling it
oil. its not right according to my way of
thinking."
George W. Seileck wonders if his
neighbor improved the time during his
re-ent sickness. lie is afraid that he
did not, and that Mr. Osborn is drilling
toward the narrow way.
D. Warren Fitch says he knows that
”Tommy" is going to raflle oil his goal,
but he declares that Clarence. that mis-
chievous son of George W. Selleck,
knows all about the posting of the sign.
It is not thought or an instant that
Mr. Osborn will use dies in carrying on
his rattle, but will think of some. other
scheme. It is a well-known fact that
“Tommy‘s" bringing up has been too
strict, for him to think of gambling. but
how he will rsfile of! that goal without
using dice, is a roblein that bothers his
inquisitive neig bots.

There seems to bone good grounds, how-

Mr. Goe says that Mr. Cannon had per.
