Street Lights Wars Not Burning, and
Connsotlcut Hallway and Lighting
Co. L0” I HOT...
The street lights in the City of South
Norwalk were not burning. last night,
Superintendent Winchester having
found that it would endanger, the lives
of the citizens to do so.
When the wind changed to the south-
erly. yesterday, after the great blow of
several hours. all the wires in the city
became tangled up. and there were
crosses with the city electric wires.
the Southern New England Telephone
Company's wires the fire alarm and
Connecticut Railway and Lighting Com-
pany‘s wires in so many places that
the employees of the various companies
represented could not locate them and
clear the wires. Many of the linemen
worked until [our after dark. and fro
quentiy endanger us their lives by man-
ipulating the wires.
This morning all hands were at work
again. and it is expected that by tonight
all the trouble will be remedied, and
the lights running as usual. [n sever
nl places where the wires were crossed
the trees were set on ilre, specially by
the current of the trolley company. and
the officials were notiiiod. but it was
found that no damage had or could re-
sult from the electrical sparks as long
as it remained in the trees.
A valuable horse. owned by the Con-
necticut Railway and Lighting Com-
pany. died last night of colic. The
horse had been working very hard dur-
ing the past two days and the wet
weather and overwork are supposed to
have been responsible for the ailment
which caused the animal‘s death.
CORNER 0N BUCKSTS.
Ii. M. Hoyt Want Fishing In Mr. Soy-
mour's Well and Second Seven
of Them.
Robert M. Hoyt, the well-known con-
tractor. arose quite early, about 5
o'clock. the other morning. and as he
did not; have much of an appetite for
breakfast. decided he would go fishing.
He selected the well of his next door
neighbor. Charles E Seymour, as a
likely spot. and then put down a line.
After fishing about five minutes Mr.
Hoyt drew up a well bucket lie was
so eluted at his success that be con-
'inued the work. and very soon had scv~
en buckets to his credit. and he avers
that he knows there are others in the
bottom of the well.
Mr. Hoyt began to think that Mr
Seymour was rolling a turner on buc
kets. He was about to cast his line

thus escaping Mr. Seymour. Mr. Hoyt
looked out of his windbw after being
safely in the house. but could not see
the buckets. and he thoucht that lilr
Seymour had put them back in the well.
Mr. Hoyt says Mr. Seymour is an ex-

Revels Seine Members
The Fat Men's club was broken up
by the decease of Its members. the
club membership diminishing from
fully forty members to a bare half dos-
en. Their number fell away to such
an extent that the secretary living in
Norwalk did not think it worth while
to send out notices this year of the
annual meeting.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
club was always open to take In new
members providing they weighed 300
pounds or over there has been an
over decreasing number admitted in
the past few years. The times seem
to he too strencus for men to get
fat as they used to and so the num-
ber of applicants has been gradually
growing less.
Then again some of the late an-
nual dinners held by the club have
not been what they used to be in the
palmy days of the organisation. Out-
sidsrs persisted In attending and in
eating the dinner reserved for the
members. They could do this be-
cause not having so much desk to
lug around they ‘could crowd in and
secure the seats ahead of the mem-
bers.
Then there was a falling off in the
interest taken in the athletic sports.
without which no annual meeting was
considered a success. There was too
much of an effort to introduce men
that barely came over the limit so
that they could defeat the real fat
men of the club.
Some of the old members still re-
tain pleasant memories of. former
meetings of the club. Among them
is A. W. Wallace, of Bridgeport. who
has now lost some of the flesh that he
used to have former”.
Said he in speaking about some of
the meetings the otherd ay:
"There is now no longer any club.
as nearly all the members are (loud.
We had some good sissd hues when
the club was at the height 0 its glory.
"There was one president who
weighed nearly 600 pounds. lie was
a butcher and came from Hoboken. I
believe. Then we had another large
man who came from up in Massa-
chusetts somewhere. lie was.nearly
as large.
"There was one man we always
liked to see come to the annual din-
ner because he uus such a good eat-
er. His name was Munson. i be-
lieve, and he came from New York
where he was a pie manufacturer. it
used to do us good to see him eat.
He could sit down to the table the
first one of us all and still be eating
whsn all the others had gone away.
He cer nly could eat enough for
half a used ordinary man. "
Mr. Wallace admitted that he had
forgotten many of the interesting
menus in connection will; the club.
He sincerely Matted the breaking
up of the club and said that it at-
touted the members one day in the
year in which they could enjoy them-
selves at Just.
The membership of the club was
taken from four states Connecticut,
Massachusetts, .New York and New
sissy. Oniv about a doses men from
Norwaik svsr heloged to it.

Big Storm. with Grew fly-
ing Signals of . distress.
WESTPORT. September ls—A large
three-muted schooner went on the
rocks at Dry Reef. oi! Weatport. Wed-
nesday night. and when last noticed
the seas were breaking over the vessel.
FlVe men could be sson in the rig-
ging. often making signals to the
shots. but no help could be sent to
them. -'l‘hs name of the schooner
could not be seen from the shore, and
it was impossible to launch a boat to
go to the rescue of the distressed mar-
iners.
The schooner when last seen through
the mist occupied the same position as
when first seen, and it was evident
that she was pounding on the rocks.
The vessel is about two and a half
miles from the shore. The reef is one
of the most dangerous on that section
of the coast. All day the sea was tum-
bling over the rocks and it did not
seen possible this the vessel could hold
together until morning.
The sea went down a good deal dur-
ing the afternoon, but the sound was
still exceedingly rough. and. no small
boat could live In the swirling waters.
Every preparation was made last
night to go to the assistance of the
wrecked vessel as soon as the storm
abates sufficiently.
Up to a late hour no further partic-
ulars could be obtained. All wires In
the direction of Wcsiport were still
down.

point. As the storm increased she be

which continued to blow and sailed
away. it was stated that some who
saw her -'thoughi that she was a

from shore that her name could not
be nor ertained. No wreckage has come
ashore at that point. so it is not be-
llcved that the craft went to the bot-
tom. This vessel had two masts and is
probably the same one alluded to In

are down, and communication is prac-
