structure begun. The foundation is
already in place, and itis expected
that by August let. there will be a
lighthouse about three miles from
Norwalk, which will equal any the gov-
ernment has erected for some time.
The material for the building ar-
rived in box cars from theBlng‘Foun-
dry Company, of Philadelphia, yester-
day. The cars are side-tracked in
South Nor-walk. The entire frame is
to be constructed of wrought iron, and
Mr. Gordon told a Sentinel reporter
this morning that he had contracted
with the government to build the light~
house for $29,000. .
This is considered a reasonable fig.
ure, when the disadvantages the men
have to work under is taken into con-
sideration. Mr. Gordon says he came
here to erect the lighthouse. and it will
be~put up at the earliest possible
time. He is a hustler and it may be
depended upon that before long Nor-
waik harbor can boast of a first-class
lighthouse. The frame wilibe con-
structed in South Norwalk. After it is
finished: it will he‘talien. out to the

The structure is to be ninety'elght
feet high. and will be thirty-three feet
in diameter. it is to be a round build-‘

houses. There are to be four stories
and a couple of them will be fitted up

frame is erected. the building will

lation, which had been previously pre-
pared by the lndies. It was at first plan

attendance, everyone present was in-
vited to partake of the repeat. A con-
siderable amount of food was even then
left over. This was afterWnrd sent to

The eyenlng session began at 7:30,
with a devotional service, led by the
Rev. W. H.. Hubbard. pastor of the
South Norwnik Baptist Church. This
was followed by an address by Rev. C.
ll. Mead, 13.0.. of New York, one of
the witticat. as well as the deepest tom-
pcrsnce speakers who has ever visited
South Norwalk.
Mr. Mead is an exceedingly versatile
speaker. He swayed his audience
from laughter when a humorous situa-
tion was illustrated. immediately to
tears when the pathetic side was
shown. The speaker said that each
one of us has an‘incalculablo influence
in downing 'intcmpcrsnoe if We would
only exercise it. His theme through-
out was the terrible effects of drunken-
ncss upon the world. To illustrate the
consequences of the drink habit he no-
ed a series of stories that bad in them
a vein of hiunor, but also had s. patio
ctic side. ‘ Mr. Mead had his entire
audience with him as soon as ho had
spoken-a very few words. The speak

icon rumours a r viiiii under a di-
lapidated building just north of the
bridge that creases Fair Haven river, a
quarter of. a mile above Carver's Falls,
have apparently unearthed _evldence
which solves the mystery of a murder
which occurred seventy years ago. The
discovery~ was made by accident. the
laborer having fallen into a pit while
trying to. life some heavy stones. The
pit waspbout eight feet deep, with a
solid stone wall about twenty inches
thick surroundinglt.,i in the center of
the pit was set a solid iron post atv
inched to which was a heavy iron chain
and an old fashioned pair of handcun’s.
Nearby was a heap of human bones.
Inquiry has disclosed the fact that in
1831 Perry Borden; a young French-
man. brought his young wife to Poult-
ney to live in the house which the
workmen are tearing down. She was
witty and vivacious and attracted con-
siderable attention. In a short time
Bordon became jealous of her and .or‘
bade her visiting a certain tavern that
was kept nearby. The young and high
tempered wife would not submit to be
dictated to by her husband. One night
in November, 1831, she was at the
place. when. at about 10 o'clock Bordon
called for her. She left the place with
h it. She never was seen by her
fr ends after that. Mr. Borden said
his wife had deserted him and lied to
Canada. ‘
After a year Borden went away and
was not heard of again until f882,whcn
he suddenly reappeared in town. He
said he had been at sea for tho ilfty
years he had been away. and his mind
seemed shattered. He went to the i..-
tie house and remained two years,
neighbors supplying him with provi-
sions. lie finally became sick and the
town took charge of him. He died'm
.1887 and was burled‘lu the pottcr's
field. . .
The discoveries made by the work-
lugmon have led everyone in this v1-
cinlty’to believe that Bordon chained
his wife in the underground collar and
left her to die a horrible death.
