_ John Smith, the rear brakemsn on
Conductor Andrew Canticld’s milk train,
had a serious and extremely painful min
hip in East Norwalk,last night. The
train was going west about 8 o’clock and
wet stopped at the signal tower just east
70! the drawbridge. Mr. Smith was get‘
ting of! one of the cars, and not thinking
but what the train was on solid ground,
he let go his hold and stepped down. .
The car he was on was directly over
the out on Osborne avenue, and Mr
XSmith fell a distance of about fifteen
feet. He struck on his back and one of
I, his hips was broken, and he received
numerous bruises about the body and
scratches on his face. His fellow brake-
!nen went to his assistance and the in-
jured man was placed carefully on the
stretcher and carried to the baggage
room in South Norwalk, where Dre.
Burke and Allen attended to his in-
juries. He was then placed on board
the 9:41 train, and taken to the Bridge-
" port hospital.
The accident will keep Mr. Smith con-
fined tohisbed for several weeks. He
had been on this train for some years,
and was well-known and greatly liked
all along the line of the New York divi.
sion, and his many friends will learn
with regret of his ill luck.

Endorsed a Note for his Brother.
Bonneau & Co., wholesale harness
dealers of Newark. have brought a suit
against Sidney Peckwell, of Easton.
Sheriff Fennion, of Bridgeport, has at.
tsched to the value of 8600 Benton prop-
erty claimed to be owned by the defend-
ant. The suit is to recover a ten day
note for $300. endorsed by the defendant
for his brother, John F. Peckwell, a
’ traveling salesman in the employ of the
plaintiffs, and formerly a harness maker
of Norwaik. John F. Peckwell pawned
with Peck dz Devsau. of Bridgeport,
about $200 worth of harness samples,
and also, it is claimed, failed to account
for money belonging to the plaintiffs.
He gave his note endorsed by his brother,
who, it is said, represented that he own-
ed free and clear Easton property which
amply protected the amount of the note.
Now it has been discovered that the
father of the Peckwells has a life interest
in the prOporiy, which exempts it from
attachment for Sidney Peck well's obliga-

OYSTBMS IN ABUNDANCE.
Something About the Industry That Will
Interest Nor-walk Growers.
A telegram in Wednesday’s Times
gave the welcome news that an official
examination of the Connecticut oyster
beds, by the shell-fish commission, dis
closes the fact that the yield of oysters
will be greater than ever before. The
seed oysters. suitable for transplanting,
were found to be especially abundant,
the yield of these alone being greater
than it was in 1889, when the harvest of
Connecticut seed oysters was a million
bushels. This abundance of seed oysters
has lowered the market price, which has
for five years averaged fifty cents; it is
nowtwenty cents. Licenses for oyster
fishing on the natural beds this full and
winter have been issued to the number of
250,01- about 100 more than last year.
There seems to be every prospect of an
abundant supply of oysters, from Octo-
bertoApril. Thlsis well, for there is
no other thing that can make good the
lack of oysters. The attractions of cold-
er weather include, very decidedly, for
most people, the welcome reappearance
of the steaming dish of oysters on the
family table. The oyster, in fact, has
almost become the national dish for
Americans; they could hardly get along
without their oysters.
October is the true time for their re-
appearance in the market. Those that
are brought out earlier are apt to lack
some touch of the ,appetizing and dis-
tinctive oyster quality. This bivalve
really needs decidedly cool weather to
develop its distinctive flavor, or qual-
ity. The oyster relishes better at
Thanksgiving than at the beginning of
October; but at either time, and all
winter, it is the frequent and almost
indispensable dish on hundreds of thou-
sands of breakfast tables.
The capital invested in the oyster
business is over $10,000,000 for the Ches-
apeake bay and Connecticut shore beds
alone. The Maryland shore of course
exceeds that of Connecticut in the ex-
tent of its oyster business; the Chess-
peake bay oyster beds are in fact the
most extensive of any in the world,
and American oysters are the finest of
any. There are none better than those
grown on the beds near the Connecti-
cutshoreof Long island sound. Unit-
ed States Fish Commissioner McDon-
otld, in his last report (November 20,
1803), makes the aggregate investment,
including vessels, boats and apparatus,
and the packing houses ashore (chiefly
at Baltimore). for the Maryland oyster
industry, no less than $7,209,245. The
capital invested in the Connecticut oys-
ter business is about $3,500,000, and the
value of our catch and product is about
$1,250,000, Mun employed in Connecti-
cut iisheries number between 1,100 and
1,200, and there are 500 vcssvls. Wages
paid outto the men run from $203,000
to $300,000. It is an important business:
butit isnotsoimportant as the (tireso-
pcake Boy oyster busmme. which shows
up 11,632,730 bushels as the harvest of
’03 3, and an aggregate sum of $5,800,000
as the amount received for that harvest.
In tho Ultralipealt‘ll llzry fishery there are
33,388 persons employed, including the
packers and other workers on shore;
and more than 20,000 of these seem to
bo err-played in catching oysters with
the “torus," or in dredging the beds,
and in scraping and transporting the
catch.
Among the fishing industries of the
United Stature the oyster fishery ranks
first in importance. ..

Presiding Elder North called on Rev.

head off the elder and exchange hats.
When he arrived there was a train stand-

hobbled around that to the train for

ground that an important witness for the
defense had been spirited‘away. One wil-
ness for the State, who was compelled to
leave the state, was examined. A decid-
edly novel and unique question was
brought out at the hearing. Mr. [nuns-
bury asked that all wrtnesses should take
the “Catholic oath.” Attorney Walsh,
of Norwalk, for the State, was not well
enough posted in the law to consent to
any other than the oath prescribed in the
statute. Justice Schildknccht tried to
look wise and-said “wasl.” Pending a
decision an adjournment was taken until
next Monday. The probabilities are that
the case will again be adjourned until
after the session of the legislature, to en-
able Mr. Lounsbury to prepare a bill and
have it [mssed at the session, giving it
definition of the "Catholic oath," Attor-
ney Walsh suggested the idea that Mr.
