participate in the parade of Thursday.

South Main street. Acceptances have
been received thus for from Mayor Dun
and ex-Mayor Bockwith, of New Lon-
don; Mayor Cummings, of Stamford,
and Mayor Peix, of Danbul'y. The Col-
onial Cottage is one of the. most hand-
somely decorated homes in The Nor-
walks. Flags and bunting abound in
every available place, and on top of the.
house is the word “Welcome." and be-
low a painting of General Washington,
and a portrait of President McKinley.
The wind yesterday did not do as
much damage to the decorations about
town as might be expected. The dec-
oratlons above Willis H. Selleck’s store.
in Wall street, were blown over on the
roof. but were easily replaced. The
main feature of Mr. Selleck's decoration
is a painting, by Artist Washburn. it
consists of an Indian and an early set.-
tler standing at either Iide of the seal
of the state. and about is the picture
of cannon and balls. together with the
words “Norwalk purchased 1640. found
1650.” An eagle surmoiints the whole
and everywhere are flags and hunting.
Chief of Police William Vollmei'. who
is always ready to improve the condi-
tion of affairs in South mrwalk. at all
times. suggests that a public subscrip-
tion be started to raise money enough
to decorate the Washington street rail-
road bridge. This would be 11 great im—
turc of the South Norwalk decorations.
for it. would serve as an arch, and could
be seen as people go up or down any
street leading to the bridge. Let some-
one. start the subscription and almost
every one will help swell the fund.
The decorations of private residences
in Norwalk has extended to the rural
districts. and "among the homes most
tastefully draped, we noticed yesterday
that of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Richards
Weed, near the Red Mill. The interest
of both parties in the celebration has
been manifest from its inception. They
have often proved their faith in Nor-
walk by work ,of the most practical
kind.
The demand is very liwly, We learn.
for the Norwalk Historical plates as
souvenirs. and the supply is not likely
to last through the celebration. These
artistic plates have been greatly admir-
ed by the most critical judges. and are
truly Worth preservation for future gen-
eration. As the supply is limited. and
will soon be exhausted. it is probable
they will fetch a premium on present
host a few months hence.
Drugizisi E. l’, chd has on cxhibi-
tion in out) of the windows. of his place
of business an oil painting of his
grandfather who ran the ding busi-
ness before him. a painting of Dr John
McLean and a crayon portrait of Judge
Butler. The biisinch was established
by Mr. Weed’s grandfather and Dr
John McLean. in 1829, and in 1831 the
firm name was changed to Weed and
Butler, Dr. McLean retiring.
The Norwalk Boston Store has a
unique decoration in the form of a
large star. which is covered with elec-
tric lights. At night when the current
is turned on the effect is very fine. and
sets off the other decorations on the
building excellently. The display win-
dows of the store present a pretty ap-
psarnnce.
Chief of Police Thomas Bradley. of
the City of Norwalk, wishes to can
tion people who leave their homes dur
ing the celebration to take their money
and other valuables and have them do
posited in a safe place, as probably
there will bc a large number of thieves
in town during the week.

FOO CHOW. CHINA, BURNED.
Damage of Over $1,000,000 and People
Killed for Loot.
VANCOUVLER, B. 0.. September 9w—
The steamer Tartar. of the Canadian
Pacific fleet. has arrived from the Or-
ient, with news of the burning of the
business portion of the city of Foo
(.‘b'ow. China. Ova; one million dollars
damage was done and many people me
said to have been killed in lights {01
loot. The fire occurred August 30. and
was caused by the overturning of a
lamp in a native undertaking establish-
ment. European proprietors of bust»
ness houses. and large Chinese mer-
chants were the heaviest. sufferers.
During the progress of the fire and im-
mediately after it, the coolie native
population commenced looting the half
burned building. The Chinesc‘poiicc.
under thicr European officers. were 1111‘
able to prevent the looting, except in a
small degree and macro the second
evening had passed a large number of
regular soldiers were called out. At
that time many people had been killed
in fights. and there were dead bodies
in New street. hive men were killed
by the failing of a three~story building.
i‘he carnage on the streets was awful
The soldieis, mounted, dashed up the
main thoroughfares, stubbling to death
or trampling under their horses’ feet,
the robbcis who were cairying away
goods in every direction. Even though
knocked down. the natives who were
running away with stolen goods, held
on to their handles. The horsemen
thrust them through the legs or arms
with'swords to make them drop these.
and even then some of the coolics clung
with such desperation that they were
put to death where they had been
knocked over. Many of the injured
were taken away in ambulances. and
were being treated in the hospitals
when the Tartar sailed from China.

The game of ball between the Sousa
tuck and Anchoi baseball team on the
Crescent field, Saturday afternoon, re.
suited in a victory for the Anchors by
a score of eight to ten. it was an ex-
citing gume throughout. The Anchors
played bull excellently, Will Downes,
Jo. Sniffen and Belize especially. The
Saugutnck team did not play the game
up to their regulnr‘standing. Ono rec.
sou for this, was. that two of their.
plullers were ill and in no condition to
be on the field. For some reason the
Ssugatuck nine did not but well Satur-
day. perhaps it was the clever twirling
of the ball by Siiiifeii that had some-
thing to do with it. The honor of the
only home run in the game belongs to
Capt Ki. Allen who knocked the ball
up in the sky so high that. in the future
years, it would have bothered air ship

CZOLGOSZ WORKED FOR DETROIT
LUMBERMAN.
DETROIT, September 9—11. special
to the Journal from Alpena. Mich.
says: John Sherwood. a well known
lumbermsn, states that Leon Czolgosz
worked in 11 Cedar camp near South
Branch. Thunder Bay river, two years
ago. when he went by the name of
Fritz 01' Fred Niemun. Sherwood says
the fellow was a radical anarchist and
asserted that "the government will fall
in three or four years.‘ The president
will be killed. The anarchists will
win. The. time for action will soon be
here." '
A white minister was conducting re-
ligious services in a colored church in
North Carolina recently. After exhort-
ing a bit he asked an old colored dea-
con to lead in prayer. and this is the
appeal which the brother in black of-
fered for his .brother in white:
"Oh. Lord. give him do eye of do ea-
gle dot he spy out sin afar off. Glue
his hands to dc gospel plough. Tie his
tongue to de line of truth. Nail his
ear. to the gospel pole. Bow. his head
way down in some lonesome, dark and
usrrer v lley. where prayer is much
wanted to be made. ’Nolnt him wid
de kerosene ile ob salvashun and sot
