The stair was a brilliant succe- in every
particular. The excellent reputation
that all the entertainments given by this
societybes gained, led the audience to
jolpcct something well worthy of the
‘Illtronags lest night, and no one was
inted. '
”Professor Heine’s orchestra began the
vsning’s programme with an overture
by Schlepegreli, “The Golden Rod," end
then came the chorus. Mendelssohn’s
“Tusrkisches Schenkenlied,” by' the
Olmenias. who also sang “Alldeutsches
Volkslied.” by Speidel. K. Dishl was
‘fllc leader, and under ht baton the
singers did wonders. The Arion Sing-
’ ' lug society, directed by ProfessorVoglsr,
was heard in Kern's“Abscbied." The
chorus singing throughout was capital,
andsnvoksd hearty applause. One of
‘ thelssding soloists of the evening was
Master Robbie Weber, the boy soprano,
‘ of Bridgeport,who gave "Spring Tide,” by
, Becker. in excellent taste, and responded
V toenoverwhelming encore with "Trust
in dsr Ferns," by Knebelsberger. O.
. Weidmiller possesses a well-cultivated
tenor voice, end his rendition of Bee-
thoven’s “Adelaide," and the "Edel-
weir,” was artistic in every respect.
“Die Grenadiere," by Schumann, was
well rendered by George Singer and en-
abled him to show cfl’ his deep. bus
voice to advantage. Bohm’s sole for
‘ contralto, "Calm as the Night,” sung by
‘ Mrs. K. Diehl, was admirably adapted
to her sweet, clear and very pleasing
voice. She received an enthusiastic on-
core and a beautiful bouquet, both of
which were graciously acknowledged,
and the lady sang the “Maiden Song,"
by Meyer-Helmund. Mrs. Diehl and
-Iester Weber were heard in Mendel-
sohn's "Autumn Song," to the delight of
all. Their voices blended most harmo-
liousiy. Mr. Diehl, as accompanist,
merits special mention for his excellent
work.

The orchestra was heard in another
selection, and then the floor was cleared
for dancing. The orchestra struck up
some lively music. and it was not long
before nearly all present were engaged in
thepestime. The grand march was led
by the floor committe, with the following
ladies: Anton Stenger. Miss Tessie
Hiebsr; John Mooring, Miss Christine
Bpitze; John Gauer, Miss Tessie Wald-

The general committee consisted of (in-.-

WIRE SERVICE RESUME”.

Connections to Various Points by 'l'els.
greph-J‘eleplonae still 0E.

The repair of the telegraph and tele-
phone wires throughout the state has
been a slow undertaking. The con-
tinued sleet and stormy weather of the
past week,sfter the blow and snow of
Monday night. have made the work of
the linemen especially difficult, and the
immense amount of disarrangement
made a task that the companies did not
apparently appreciate at first. The main
connections in the state are now in fair
condition, but with a limited number of
wires.

The telephone system of the state has
not been in such a condition of wreck be'
fore. Superintendent Baker, of the
Southern New England Telephone com-
pany, has had a large force of men at
work, but there are so many sections
that will have to be rebuilt altogether,
poles set and wires strung, that it will be
two weeks or more before the "hello"
will reach all over the state. The eastern
part of the state has suffered the most,
and there is practically no telephone
service in the state east of the Connecti-
cut river.

TWO MORE SUITS

lfrldgaportere Want 08.000 Out of the
Tramway Company.

The Norwelk Tramway company have
two more suits for damages on their
hands, due to the collision near the
Walsh place, on Sunday, June 17.
Yesterday, Attorneys Caufield and Jud-
sou.of Bridgeport, drew up papers in a
suit against the road for $8,000 on behalf
of James C. Sykes and Herman Natzke.

The two men, with others, were on
their way to Ruin!) Point on a trolley
car. when the car crashed into another
car coming in the opposite direction. It
is alleged that the two men were quite
badly hurt, both suffering from con-
cussion of the brain. Bykea' lungs, it is
said, were also injured and he has since
suffered from hemorrhages. Sykes sues
for 35,000 and Neizke for $5,000.

These two suits make It total of $28,000
damages against the company, on
account of the accident in question.

An Exchange of compliments.

Quite a commotion occurred on Main
street, Norwelk. last evening. occasioned
by an exchange of compliments between
Mrs. Jane Fisher and two young women
from South Norwelk. who were walking
past Mrs. Fisher's apartments over Bail-
witrls grocery store. Elbe copied them
looking upiuto her windows, and think~
ing they were trying to attract the atten-
tion of her husband. Charles Fisher. she
hailed them and gave them a “piece of
her mind." The girls considered that
they had been insulted, and complained
to Officer Ksnney, who took them to the
Norwelk police headquarters to listen to
their awry. Mrs. Fisher followed. accus-
ing them of alienating her husband’s ef-
factions. and wanted them arrested.
Grand Juror John ii. tloyt was rum-
Inoosd to investigate the case. He
thought that bothsldss were equally at
fault. and discharged thorn. The South
Norwelk girls gave their harass so So-
pble and Annie Perry. The letter said
she rssllv rsddsd in Westport.

TIRE A‘l‘ GRAB! CHURCH

 

As Able lssey by lav. I. I. Ellsworth.

the "Church and the People.” The
paper was discussed by the twenty-
three clergyman present, and many new
and helpful suggestions were brought
out. E. A. Woodward, of South Nor-
welk, represented ere church at the
meeting, and was an interested law

THE NEWARK STRIKE.
It is Ordered off. and the Hatters Will
Return to Work.

The Newark News of Saturday evening
said: ”it is believed that the strike of
the batten on the ‘Bill.’ which has been
in progress for nearly three months, will
beordered 03 on Monday, and that ulI
the men who can get work will take it,
while others may have to leave the city.
This is the dull season. and trade will not
be brisk again until January. This step
is urged by the cooler heads among the
strikers and the ‘iair' union.

There are some boibeade who want to
continue the strike on nothing. but
they are being restrained. It is urged
that by going to work now the men can
still retain their organization intact and
add to its strength, both numerically
and financially, which they cann tdo by
staying out. The men have the p miss
of the ‘fair' union, that all the assistance
possible will be rendered them and an
effort made to amalgamete with the
United Hatters so that a solid front may
be presented to the enemy. With con-
ditions in such shepe it is argued that a
strike can be made in the fall "

Freight Engines Source.

The freighliog business on the Consoli-
dated roed was never known lobe heavier
and everything that can draw a car is
pressed into service. The great dithcul-
ty is to get enough freight engines to
haul the trains. and oftentimes heavy
passenger engines are pressed into ser-
vice. Tbe best for that work are the
new hard (30" burners They were built
exclusively for passenger trains, but
have no difficulty in starting heavy
freight trains. While the road has many
locomotives, the heavy work they are
compelled to do necessitates the with-
drawal of msny for repairs into the shops
of the company. One of the best loco»

motives is supposed to run
about 175,000 miles without
repairs except of so woldsnt, so

it is necaIsery about every year and e

HOSPITAL DIRECTORS MEET.

They Decide to flake all It." to Raise
the Balance of 010.000

The directors of the Norwelk Hospital
association met at the Norwelk Library
rooms, last night.

Preparations were made for the annual
meeting, which takes place December -1

The question of allowing the village of
Westport a bed in the hospital was dis-
cussed. The village has not yet raised
the”, 000 necessary for securing a bed
for one year. but as they have a portion
of' It the directors voted to give them the
use of a bed for ten weeks for $1,500, as
soon as the money should be paid over.

The subject of raising the few hundred
dollars still lacking before the required
310, 000 Is reached to enable the associa-
tion to demand $10 000 more from the
state was discussed, and it was voted to

raise the deficiency by personal subscrip-
tions.

 

TIPROID EPIDEMIC.
A Report That We haldleeponsi-
bin for the Wesleyan Scare Denied.

The fact that three secret societies of
Wesleyan college held banquets, at each
of which oysters on the half shell were
served shortly before the outbreak of
typhoid fever there. has led to all sorts
of rumors to the effect that the oysters
were infected by typhoid germs. Profes-
sor Conn and Dr. (3. A. Lindsiey, secre-
tary of the State Board of Health. have
visited Middletowu and investigated.
Dr. Lindsley said on ins return that
nothing had been discovered to show
the oysters were responsible for the epi-
demic, and he regretted that such a re.
port had been circulated.

The oysters served were originally pur'
chased in East liaven. The oyster
growers of New Haven are indignant
at the spread of such a report. They say
that if there had been any germs in New
Haven oysters a great many more people
would be sick with the disease than
there are now. Besides this, the grow-
ers are telling their oysters from deep
water outside the breakwater, where
there is no danger of sewer contamina-
tion. . . ‘ .

Methodist Evangelistic levvinss.

There was a very large attendance at
the revival services in the First Methodist

Nature’s Great Panorama May Now Be
Been in the Heavens.

There has been found so closearslation
between the orbits of comets and meteor
streams that it is now believed the mete-
ors are fragments of burst comets. When
a comet goes astray it prances wildly
through space awhile: then bursts, as is
supposed. The fragments follow on
around the sun in the same course as the
comet did. The comet disappears and
the fragments take its place. lining of
all sizes. they naturally spring out over a
great distance and at length present the
appearance of a ring of fragments follow-
Ing one another around the sun. The
orbit in which they travel sometimes
crosses that of the planets. When our
earth passes through this string of metc'
ors, those that are near enough to us to
touch our atmosphere are Ignited and
fail to the earth with a remarkably dull
thud.

Twice a year the earth passes through
meteor rings, once sbiut the mm of
August and again the 12th of Novem-
ber. It is well to be on the lookout for
a night or two before and after those
dates if one would take in the whole dis«
play. Some years the show is marvel-
ously brilliant, the whole sky appearing
to rein stars. The November meteors
