savanna of Founders’ Day in the schools.
, During the forsnoon senior: of Tuesday,
June 19th, the exercises will have partic-
ular reference to Norwalk history. A
programme has been prepared by a speci-
u commutes 'of the ‘principals of the
‘ schools, which includes the most promin-
ent facts connected with the founding
and later development and hktory of the
town. The ogranime will thus be the
. ”Bin all/t eachools. with ranch varia-
, time as individual teachers may find pos-
sible or desirable," ‘
‘In preparing for ”these historical exer.
chagrest assistance has been rendered
' byBev.C. If. Selleck, who has devoted
so much attention to local history, and
who kindly consented to meet the teach-
ersof the town and give them some of
the benefits of his extensive and accurate
information. Engineer William B.
Rider, whose practical knowledge of the
topography of this part of the state and
interest in its history especially qualified
him for the work, has prepared a map’of
Norwalk which will serve to illustrate
‘ and explain many facts in the history of
the town. Acopy of this map is fum-
ished to each teacher to be used in the
historical exercises. With this carefully
prepared programme and these aids for
carrying it out, the result cannot fail to
be a greatly increased knowledge on the
part of the school children of the history
of the town. Who can doubt that the
tendency of this knowledge will be to
broaden and deepzn their patriotism and
7 to make them more intelligent and better
citizens?
The exercises in the afternoon will be
of a'general character and will be par-
ticipated in by the children of all the
schools in town. In the upper part of
the town the place of rendezvous will be
at. the Center school. From this place
e schoo‘s will match to the Armory
and will be joined on the way by the
‘Pnrochial and Over River schools, head-
by Dwyer' a hand. The schools' in the
xnth part of the town, including the
‘~ School from East Norwalk. will assemble
at the Franklin street school and from
thence, accompanied by Heine’s band.
Will take up their march for the Armory.
The several schools are due at the Armory
at half past two, and on their arrival will
bellied in through _the north and west
doors and take their seats in the. order as-
signed them.
After the seating of the school children
the doors will be opened for the general
public. No one will be admitted before
that time, and no children will be admit-
tedat all except those who are in the
ranks of their respective schools. The

Historic Facts Recalled by the Dan-oil»
tiers of the floats Day Place.
The last timbers of the ancient house
. which has stood for more than a century
near the foot of Washington street,
known to old residents of South Norwalk
as the Nos Day place, owned in recent
years by Jeremiah Donovan, were pulled
down yesterday by half a dozen sturdy
workmen. who have been engaged the
past few days demolishing the building
for Contractor Amandus Bach, under
the supervision f Robert Morton, and
cartingthe salvage to Mr. Bach’s prop-
erty on State street.
The house was one of the oldest in
South Norwalk, having been built. ac-
cording to data gleaned yesterday by a
SBN'nxzr. reporter, a few years after the
burning of Norwalk in 1779. by Eliakim
Raymond, and was inherited by his son
Eliakim. 'It was subsequently pur~
chased by Rev. Absalom Day. who re-
modeled and enlarged it somewhat, and
when he died it was left to one of his
sons, Noah Day, then fell into the hands
of George W. Raymond, and lastly came
into possession of Mr. Donovan. It was
once a typical New England farm. house,
with its mammoth double barns. cow
sheds, carriage house, grainery, dairy
kitchen, smoke house and hennery. The
broad acres which surrounded it cove
half the block bounded by Main, W h.
ington, Water and Elizabet s. It
had its .orchard, W fruited with
apple, pear. and cherry trees. and its ex.
pensive garden in which grew holly-
hocks, gooseberries, fennel and small
fnm. Skirting the edge of the yard
stood gigantic elm trees, and the lattice-
vvork gates swung to and fro between
tall and weather-beaten posts. Stored in
the attic werespinningowheels and and-
irons. warming-pans and candle-sticks,
and other relics of Revolutionary times.
The lath used in the construction of the
original house were of riven oak, the
nails were of wrought iron, imported
from England, and everything about it
betokened its antiquity.
Directly opposite stands another
and occupied by Michael Hines, which is
known to be a few years older than the
one just demolished. It was probably
built 110 or 112 years ago by Nathaniel
Raymond. a brother of Eliakim. 2d, and
grandfather of Samuel Raymond. of
Courtland place. and George I“. Ray-
mond, of Washington street. The latter
has a large picture of his illustrious
grandaire hanging in the dining room
of his home. 'Itshowsawell~preserved
old gentleman. lie lived near Old Well
wharf all his life, was an officer in the
guard and a Revolutionary pensioner.
When Tryon's troops devastated Nor-
walk 115 years ago they burned the
house in which Mr. Raymond lived. sit-
uated on the site of the present
one, and also df strayed another
house he owned near W hat
is now the entrance to the steam-
boat wharf. When the alarm was given
that the Red Coam were coming across
the Sound. Mr. Raymond conveyed his
wife to a place of safety. hid his house:
hold effects in a swamp. and then joined
a squad of fifteen patriots, who were
driven over the hills bytthe British troops
The general government compensated
Mr. Raymond for his loss by giving him
{must-res of land in Ohio. He soon af-
terbullt the house now sluiullng. He
died about the year 1850, at the ripe age
of 96.
Another brother. George. built what
was afterwards known as the Chichester
place, on Washington street, which was
torn down twenty-odd years ago to
maln- way for the brick block new occu~
pied by Brown 8: Wilcox and the City
National bank. Eliakim and floor
were sea captains, and brought into t is
ports great amount of molasses l'

looked after the repairing of the barrels.

of the oldest in South Norwalk. It
stood at the corner of Water and Eliza-

PROPERTY OWNERS KICK
AN “JUNCTION SERVED ON TIIE
NOItWALK STREET llAILWAY.
Residents of West Avenue Claim the
Tracks of the Company are Laid [our
Inches Above (trade and too Near the
Want Side of the Street. .
Au injunction willbs served on ids,
Norwalk Street Railway company, this
afternoon. restraining them from further
constructing the double-tracking of the
road on West avenue in the way it has
been commenced.
The property-owners who object are.
Henry Seymour, Stephen Hatch, Wil-
liam H. Hoyt, Russell Frost, John Mc-
Mahon, R. 8. Golden and W. B. Rider.
They claim that from the residence of
Captain Hoyt to the Sammie property,
owned by Colonel host. the tracks are
being laid from two to four feet nearer
the west side of the street than the east.
This makes the street on the west side
very narrow, or! as all the residences
and hitching posts are on that side
much inconvenience will result and
travel necessarily be very dangerous.
The tracks, the propertymvvners will
claim, are also being' laid on a grade of
from one to four inches higher than the
established grade of the street, and the
company will probably be compelled to
lower them.
The officials of the Street Railway
company state that the tracks are being
laid as near the center of the highway
as practicable.
This. morning Street Commissioner
Jacob Schaub instructed the company
not to tear up the street further until a
settlement should be made satisfactory
to the parties interested. and in conse-
quence Contractor A. J. Hutchinson,
who is having the road, will probably
stop work this afternoon.

the field of bacteriology going on for .
some time. Dr. AlbertB. Nathan-of .
the late Burr Nash ,of Southorwalk. who

has made ‘a special study of bacilliJur
several years. Only a few (laying!) his
attention was called to the claim that
the telephone is dangerous from the .
manner in which it gathers, dime
germs. and he has begun aninvastigao
tion of the subject. .
“The claim," said Dr. Nah, ‘ “is
that the germs are deposited in thein- ‘
strument which the speaker holds close
to his month,,and that the next person
who comes along inhales these germs.
Now, this is possible. but not probable.
In order to get the disease of consump-
eputn from a tuberculous patient should
be deposited in the instrument and than
drying. be inhaled by those who use the
telephone subsequently. This is true
also of diphtheria, except that the germs
of that disease exist in the sufferer’s
throat. They must be transferred from
there to the instrument. and to be dun.
gerous the germs must be inhaled while
they still have vitality. But I don’t
think persons snlfering with even the
initiative stages of diphtheria use, as a
general rule. a telephone.
“But this question of bacilli isacon—
stanrly growing one. Only a few years
ago malarial germs were not known. and
yet today a physician can easily deter:
mine whether or not a patient is tuner-
ing with the disease by microscopic '
examination of a drop of the patient’s
blood. There aremillionscf outpaces-

possible that disease germs thigh

danger from germs is sogreat in every.
day life that close attention is being paid ’
to the subject. The germs are not dan-
gerous in a moist state. but only become
so when dry. just as, to use acommorr
simile, one doesn’t inhale mud, but
when it turns to dust you do. If tele.
phone instruments convey disease germs
so do the nickels that women put in
mouths while buttoning their
gloves in street cars and the greenbacks
that we so willingly handle. On the
