DISTINGUISHED GUESTS DINED
AND WINED AT THE POINT.
Inch Disssppointment Occasioned by the
Absence of Governor flower on Account
of Sickness—Colonel Russell Frost Makes
n lellcitous Address of Welcome.
The booming of cannon, sweet strains
of music and handsome decorations wel-
comed the Old Guard,of New York, to
Baton Point, yesterday, where they ate,
drank and made merry and listened to
after-dinner speeches by some of New
York's brainlest men. The hotel was
in holiday attire, the decorations con-
sisting of flags and hunting. In the
pavilion, where the banquet was served,
the decorations were magnificent. They
were the handiwork of George Van-
Alstyne, proprietor of the South Nor-
walk Boston store. The girders were
draped in various colored hunting and
long streamers of red, white, blue and
yellow were strung with striking effect,
set of by several American flags. Leafy
branches of the oak tree made an attrac.
tive combination with the other embel-
lishments. Long tables were temptingly
spread, and covers were laid for three
hundred guests.
Everything was in readiness for their
arrival and the Rhode Island bake was
.well under way when, shortly after
noon. the cannon at Pine Point boomed
asalute, and the steam yacht "Siesta,“
owned by Major Thomas E. Sloan. com-
mander of the Old Guard, glided up to
the pier and anchored, to await the ar-
rival of the iron steamboat “Cygnus"
with the Old Guard and their invited
guests on board, nearly three hundred
strong, which arrived about 1 o'clock.
The entire party, after landing, marched
up to the grove, the Old Guard band
playing pepular airs. Here the band
took seats and rendered concert selec~
tions to a large and appreciative audi-
ence, while the excursionists separated
and indulged in the amusements offered
at this popular resort. Bathing was a
, feature of their enjoyment, more than
1 half of the party indulging in this pas-
l time.
During this time many people had been
flocking to the point on the trolley cars
and in ’busses from trains which stopped
at Rowayton, until it was estimated that
5,000 people were on the grounds when
the band played the banquet march and
the line formed for dinner. When all
hadbeen assigned places, Major Sloan
called on the chaplain to ask a blessing.
The guests were then seated and the
band, stationed outside, played inspiring
music, while the aroma of the freshly-
opened bake on the beach near by filled
the pavilion and, aided by the sea breeze
sharpened the appetites of the assembly,
The waiters were skillful and there was
no delay in serving the menu, which con
sisted of roast clams, striped sea bass,
little necks, lobsters, chicken, bluefish,
crabs, sweet corn, potatoes, and other
vegetables, finishing up with water-
nielons. Drinkables were as plentiful us
estables, and Piper lleidolck ll )wcd like
gurgling water.
When Havanuas lightcd tin-
speech-making began, ('ommruiilcr Sloan
acting as toastnizister. lie made it
short, felicilious address, introducing, as
the first speaker, Col. John A. Cockcrill.
He was followed by John L. Shepard,
president of the Commercial Travail-rs
club, and President Kecler, of the New
York Press club. Captain W. ll. White
read regrets from Governor Iloiwcll 1’.

of the regrets, Roland N. Squires, of the

Colonel John ti. Calhoun, of South Caro-
line; Colonel l-lidney M. Hedges, of Bos-
ton, commander of the Ancient lionor-

Colonel Russell Frost, of South Nor-
wslk, then made a few remarks. lie
was sorry that the dignitaries of the state
. were not present and that he was the
only speaker to welcome the Old Guard
upon Connecticut soil. but he did so
most royally. He paid tribute to the

By this time the whistles of the steamer
“Cygnus" were impatiently testing as it
was long past the hour for starting, and
at 7 o'clock she steamed away amid deaf-
ening salutes. The party arrived in New
York harbor at 10 o'clock. Major Sloan
was much impressed by the natural feat-
ures of the Point, and it is quite probable
that the banquet will be held there next
year, as the members were of the unani-
mous opinion that this was the most suc.
coastal and most auspicious of any has-
quet ever held by the Old Guard.
Quarterly Meeting of the Norwallr Christ-
lau Endeavor Union.
The carryall "Wellington" conveyed
the South Norwalk delegation and two of
Liveryman Gregory's teams the Non
walk delegation to a quarterly meeting
of the Norwaik Christian Endeavor
Union, held in the Congregational church
at Westport, last night.
The meeting opened at 8 o'clock with
a praise service of songs from the Christ-
ian Endeavor edition of Gospel Hymns,
No. 6, the singing being led by a chorus
choir, with Miss Annie Saxon at the
organ. Then followed the address of
welcome and prayer by the pastor, Rev.
Jabez Backus. After "Send Showers of
Blessing" had been sung, Henry 0.
Bailey, president of the Union, gave a
very interesting report of the inter-
national convention of the order recently
held in Cleveland, Ohio. He gave ex-
tracts from the addresses of several of
the prominent speakers and vividly por-
trayed many pleasing incidents of the
trip. When he had finished speaking
the voicrs of the congiegation, with one
accord, burst into the inspiring strains
of “Army of Endeavor," which (choed
and reechoed through the edifice until
it seemed that the air was fragrant with
sacred music. Rev. ll. T. Abbott, pes-
tor of the Westport Methodist Episcopa‘
church, who was down on the pro-
gramme for an address, was ill and un-
able to be present. When Mrs. Andrew
\', Ileatli‘snanic was announced for a
report from the great convention on
"Junior Work"there was great applause,
indicating that the people expected some-
thing of deep interest, and they were not
disappointed. As Mrs.lleath Continued to
tell the good which had been done and
what was anticipated in the future from
the Junior Christian Endeavor society,
there was great enthusiasm. Mrs. Heath
is an eloquent speaker, and the sympr
thetic manneryihe has of expressing her—
self is very safertaining. At the con-
clusion of her remarks she was again
greeted with applause. Rev. T. K.
Noble led the consecration meeting,
which was a prominent feature of the
programme.

A frightful accident occurred at the
Catherine street crossing of the Danbury
road, this morning, when the Pittsfield
express, due at Norwalk at 10:37, struck
a horse and butcher's cart, killing the
animal instantly, smashing the vehicle
into kindling wood, and throwing J. E
Larmer out and injuring him severely.
The cor doctor of the express reported
the accident at Norwalk, as the train did
not stop at the wreck. The train was IK-
hind hand and was making up lost time.
It was going at great speed at the time
of the accident, as the cars were on a
down grade and the engine was under a
full head of steam. The passengers on
the train knew something had happened
by hesr’ng the crash and seeing the air
fullof flying splinters. No one on the
train knew the result, however.
When a reporter reached the scene,
the horse was lying b: wide the track and
the broken wagon was piled on top of
him, where it bad has thrown by the
train. Acrowd ofpeopls living in the
neighborhood had gatheri’d around the
spot. It was learned that Mr. Larmer

deuce on Wilton avenue before the phy-
sician left him. He was able t) walk the
entire distance Willi slight assistance.

LOST HEB LITTLE HOME
FIRE DESTROYS MRS. MARY R00-
Nl'll‘TS HOUSE AT BULL RUN.
The Building Supposed to have Taken
Fire from the Explosion of a Kerosene
Oll Stove, While the Owner was in the
Barn Milking Her Cows.
The home of Mrs. Mary Rooney. situ-
ated at what is known as Bull Run or
Hayesville, was burned to the ground
yesterday afternoon about 5:30 o'clock.
Shortly before that time Mrs. Rooney
went to the barn to milk her cows, and
when she returned to the house she found
the building on fire and burning fiercely.
She quickly alarmed the neighbors and
they made an heroic cfl'ortto extinguish
the flames, but. the fire had gained such
headway as to be beyond their control.
A bucket brigade was formed, as the
city water pipes do not extend as far as
Mrs. Rooney’s place, and three wells in
the vicinity were pumped dry. The only
articles saved from the burning building
were a few pieces of furniture. The
flames were so fierce that the residences
of Edward Oldfield and John H. Johnson
caught fire, but the neighbors succeeded
in preventing serious damage to them.
Mrs. Rooney was unable to tell how
the fire originated. There was a kero-
sene stove in the rear kitchen, and it is
presumed the
oil became ig-
nited and ex ploded The house
contained eight rooms, and
was worth about 81,500, insured with
Taylor&Golden for $1,000. There was
also an insurance of $300 on the furniture.
The barn was insured for $100, but this
was not damaged. Mu. Rooney and
family passed the night at Edward Meg-
net‘s.
