lhis side of the story to a Serum.
porter this morning. He said:
"I came to the United States from
exico, where I had spent part of my
ly life, in the summer of lb‘S3,to finish
y education at Mr. Whitlock's Wilton
arding academy. Here I took a course
,. ting toJanuary, 1886, at which time I
5‘ ft school and entered the engineering
' taunt of the Edison company in
ew York city, where I remained as an
lectrical engineer till about a year ago.
an a new company was formed of my
. 1:1 iates and myself, known as the Elec-
'cal and Mechanical Engineering com‘
ny, in which I now hold the position
of supervising engineer. In the fall of
I 586 I became engaged to my wife,which
' :gagement resulted in our marriage on
ctober24. 1888. From that time up to
‘ the last part of 1893 our wedded life was
indeed most happy, and I entertained not
the least suspicion that my wife held an
unfaithful thought, never hsvmg my
confidence shaken.”
Referring to the beginning of the pre-
out unpleasantness, Mr. Winchester,
.‘1 ho was very visibly affected who-n the,

s

'5 ubject was approached, said:
“As the old year was drawing to helm-c
I began t) notice a change in my wife’s
manner. She became thoughtless and
indifferent, and neglected me in nmny
ways. I could think of no reason till
nally Ibegan to see that her affection
, ad been transferred to some other pur-
- n whom I finally discovered by her own
‘ ords to he a person who had acted the
. t of a mutual friend, ayoung law
{ltudent of New York city, who had been
‘ gaged at Mr. Whitlock’s school
:, teacher a few years ago, remaining
p. voral months, during which time, by
‘: easing manners, he ingrafted himself
to the good grac of all who became
ualntod with hi . This was especial-
'y the case regarding my wife, who took
fancy to him at the very start. I was
at the friendly attachment that
tad between them. believing it to ho
purely innocent, till my wife‘s actions
, amused my suspicions. I finally spoke
to heraud learned that I was not_lmia-
' on. She :lioally gave me the most
vinoiug assurance, by speech and lot
r. that [she loved me and would
in faithful. I believed she would,
wt within a few days. when I saw
a but a final decision was necessary, she

until, on returning from a recent busi-
ness trip somewhat indisposed,I heard
that she had gone. but where I do not
even know now. She will probably
bring the plea of incompatibility of
temper against me, it being the mildest
cause allowed, which I could refute and
prove to be false, and which she knows
to be, but which she merely uses as an
excuse to accomplish her purpose."

When asked if he would contest his
wife's suit for divorce, Mr. Winchester
produced a bundle of letters. “I have in
my possession," he said, as he finished
reading a few sentences from one or two
of the letters, “sufficient evidence to set
aside any claim that she may bring, and
open the case against her here at home,
which without doubt. would reverse the
action. As to whether I will take any
further action I cannot say. She expects
me to let her get her decree by default.
It has always been my most sacred aim
to think of my wife first above all things,
and treat her with the greatest tender
uses, as those with whom we have lived
are willing to aflirm, and yet she allowed
me to build a home just as she wanted it,
knowing all the time it was being built
that she in the end would disappoint me
by not occupying it.

“As to whether she will finally, if free-
dom is obtained, marry the man who
now is in possession of her affections, or
tires of her bargain when the time comes,
I cannot tell. As to the man, he has a
nature that soon tires of a new toy and
constantly wants a change. I have no
immediate plans for the future and can
not say what further action I will take.
My wife bears only my good will and it
will please me to know that she is
happy."

Death of Mrs. Fred W. DuKlyn.

In an obituary on the death of Mrs.
Fred W. DeKlyn, the Daubury Nevis
says: “Mrs. DeKlyn’s loudest hope was
realized when on July 4th a luby girl
arrived at her house. The little one
lived but a few hours and for a time the
mother's life was despiired of. She ul-
timately recovered in a measure, when
a lung weakness took on a serious phase
and it was this that caused heart failure,
from which she died. From Saturday
night till last night at about eleven
o'clock, when she passed away, life had
hung in the balance. Yesterday the
family sent toNow York for Dr. Jane-
way, and he arrived late in the after-
noon. lie expressed no hope for her rov
('ovcry," The deceased was of a genial
nature and sunny disposition, and had
madou large number of warm friends,
who mourn with the husband and the
two sons, Ward, aged nine, and Harold,
aged four. She was the daughter of
Saumcl W. Benedict, and would have
been thirty-five years old if she had
lived till August. ‘

llwyer'a Band Concert.

Thu concert by llwyer's City of Nor-
walk band, at Norwalk l’ark,"last night,
to raise funds for the purchase of uni.
forms, was a decided success. A large
audience was present and the concert
was greatly appreciated. The programme
consisted of excellent selections by
liwyrr’s and ilelne's bands and by the
two bands consolidated. Tho specialties
of Profl‘red Merrill upon the xylopbnoe
and flower pots were of a high order.
The specialties of the Norwalk l’ark
Banjo club, and Baker, of ew York,
were also much enjoyed. tor the
concert dancing was indulged in, excel-
lent music being furnished by how’s
orchestra. The Philharmonic Banjo
club. who were also announced to ren~
der selections, did not appear. During
the dancing James German was floor
manager and his sides were Thomas

HEW UP-TllWll DEPOT

PROMINENT CITIZENS OF NOR-
WALK WORKING TO THAT END.

A Plan Said to be Under Consideration
by the Railroad Officials to Widen the
Tunnel for Double Tracks, and Build
Another Passenger Station.

The tunnel under Wall street, Norwalk,’
is becoming decidedly dangerous and has
been condemned by the Railroad Com-
missionera.

Yesterday and the day before surveyors
were engaged measuring the width of
the cut, and procuring ladders they made
a minute examination of the masonry. It
was found that the walls were badly
cracked and that the mortar had fallen
out in many places. 0n the Waterstreet
side the wall bulges out, and in time
threatens to cave in. On the opposite
side there is also a slight bulge.

A contractor in the employ of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad
company went over the road yestsx day
and estimated upon the cost of re-build-
ing the wall and arching over the tun-
nel, which is now covered by planking.
To do this would necessitate the raising
of the street at this point, but this change
would be a great deal more satisfactory
to Norwalk people than the present con.
ditions, and would save the constant ex.
pense of repairs upon the planking. It
would also be a benefit to the traveling
public, as the steam and smoke which
biases up through the crevices between
the planks, scares many horses and ten.
ders the bitching of a horse anywhere in
the vicinity unsafe.

The jar caused by the trains, trolley
and horse cars and heavy trucking,
which necessarily must pass over the
tunnel, have done much to weaken the
walls, and the railroad company fear
that when the Norwalk Street Railroad
company commence running their trol-
ley cars the difficulty will be so greatly
increased that a collapse of the tunnel
would be the result. Should such a
calamity occur when a train was passing
or teams or street cars were crowing, the
frightful termination of the accident can
be imagined. At present there may be
no imminent danger, but the company
will undoubtedly take steps at once to
avoid any such catastrophe, as the
actions of their surveyors yesterday,
would indicate.

A reporter also learned that there are
excellent chances for Norwslk to secure
anew depot. There was some talk of
widening the cut, so that a double track
could be laid through it if necessary. If
this is done, the present depot will be
useless and a much better location could
befound. Thecxpensc of a new depot
would not be large. especially when the
town has as good as offered the railroad
company the triangular piece of proper-
ty adjoining the track on Water street,
and the men-hunts of that thoroughfare
have offered to raise $1,000 towards pur-
chasing the building now occupied by
llopoliosc company. Prominent citi-
zens are quietly at work, using every cf-
fort to secure a new depot for tho Nor-
walk end of the town, and there is now
some chance of their plans being success-
ful. The present structure has practi-
cally outlived its usefulness.

The tunnel was built in the full of
1ST: and repairs to it have been limited.
The Walls Were reported as settling sov-
cral months ago, but only lately has any
rcslalarm been felt about their safety.

DAMIEN.
Editor of The szfincl:
ence to the paragraph in your issue of to-
day, announclug the indignation express-
ed among the employee of the Consoli-
dated Railroad company over the fact
that I make a practice of cleansing my
cuspidors on the curb of the well, I
wish to state that such is not the case.
In the first place. I do not possess cusps;
dores, having only one of those articles.
and yesterday, being anxious'to wash off
some of the dust accumulated in conse-
quence of the present operations of the
aforesaid company, I took it in the neigh-
borhood of the well after having emptied
it. It is not reasonable to suppose that I
would pollute a well from which I proba-
bly use more water than any other per-
son in the neighborhood. If the author
of the paragraph referred to would at-
tempt to carry as much water as I do,
the exercise would be calculated to re-
duce his obesity. In conclusion, I would
say that I think other matters than the
cleansing of cuspidors are the cause of
the Consolidated Railroad company’s em-
ployes‘ indignation. Yours in anticipa-
tion, Fill-ll! Cultoosuiox.
