George Betts of Bridgeport. has been visiting friends here The weather was so rough yesterday that .ihe steamer Medea could not work outside. E. N. Richardson. of Boston. is the guest of Hubert N. Plette at his home-l in this cmg " in Seaview avenue. Mrs. Sylvester Selleck. of Heliport. 1.. l.. who has been the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John l.'llommedieu. has re- turned to her home. The steamer Bond Currier is being put in commisrsion. as it has bet-amt.- necessary to operate more of the boats at the iindel fleet ‘to procure oysters for thrI rapidly growing opening busi- ness. Mrs. John F. Grimn of Gregory Bou- levard. a sister of Policeman Thomas; Hunt. who recently submitted to an operation at the Norwrilk Hospital was removed to her home. Monday after- noon. The operation so far as cart be judged at present has been nrost suc- t-essful. The item in The Sentinel yesterday regarding a horse which was hitched in front of i.‘Homcdieu' s store all day without a blanket or feed has brought i out the fact that there have been twoI other similar occurrences within the. past few days. The other two cases were caused by the owners of the turn- outs. who had come'here to cttt salt grass. falling to do so and filling tip with whisky. There have been a number of cases lately where ladies have been stopped on the street by a big. burly rufflan who has insulted them. A short time. ago The Sentinel published the story of “5 young lady who was held tip only a few hundred feet from her home and irrig- ged by this mart. A btrlidog came to her rescue at tirat time. Since that Occasion three other similar cases have been reported and it is now be- lieved first the name of the “hugger" is known. A description has been given which fits an East Norwalk resident tcrfeotly and if there is another case of that kind this resident will probaly be. arrested on the strength of the cvl~ deuce already held against him. He is said to be accompanied by a fox ter- rier dog on some of his expeditions. Most. of his Work has been done in the vicinity of the East Avenue Methodist Church. and In the dark streets there-l abouts. Some of the male__ residents are talking of organizing a vigilance committee to rid the community or such fellows and if they do is plentiful supply of tar will be. used with a suita- ble accompaniment of feathers. While an old expressmnn with a weakness for writing jinglos. but who is seldom without a pair of black eyes was walking through Water street. the other day. he unconsciously capsized it little chap. whose pants entitled him to be called Sam Patch. to the great amazement of the. little boy who was no bigger than a hydrant. The black eyed fellow tried to compromise by glv- I ing‘him a couple of pennies when ire had learned his name, which was Jim- my. but he had not gone further than Donovan's corner. when to his amaze- ment, Jimmy came. running up. anti asked him if that was all the money he had. probably having in his mind's eye a bag of peanuts or a. baseball, which would involve an outlay of at least five cents. On another occasion a little sprig of the Emerald isle always pulled his front lock in the absence of a cap. to the same old man. and one day the latter asked: “Jakey. wood you like an apple," and the. quiclewitted little kid said. "Stire. l‘d like two if I could get them." it was only this morning that the man was meandering through Rowan street with his- hands behind his back. and holding his cane. when a. bright little fellow ran across the street and said. “What do you carry your stick that way for? Why don't you put It on the ground when you walk. Put it on the ground." As lie was evidenty born to command. there was nothing left for the old man to do. but as Dowlo said. These three little fellow wouldn’t make.one Gus Ray- mond if put on one another's shoulders. ROWAYTON. Deimont Austin, of New York, is the guest of his aunt. Mn. 1“. C. Brown.

Many of thorn have been quite badly washed by the heavy rain storms that have oc curred during the summer months and considerable filling has been made necessary. William Ziegler does not credit the report sent from Paris on Sunday that his North Pole expedition had failed to reach Franz Josef Land. Mr. Zieg- ler's secretary, A. S. Chump. said yes- terday: “We received it letter a short time. ago from Mr. Fiala. who it! in charge of the expedition. This letter had been delivered to a Norwegian seal- or on July 20. 10 days after leaving Var- do. As that was over three months ago. it is most probable that the ves- sel has reached Franz Josef Land. where it will winter. Otherwise it would have been necessary to return cool enough to keep tinder steam all to Norway before this. She hadn't this time. So. if she had failed We would very likely have received word frortr her by this time. ’Ihls report from Paris asserts the news was re- ceivod from a whaier. 'f‘he whalers don'tgo so far north. That Is the region of the sealers. So i think the fact that this sealer brought its a let- ter a short time ago gave rise to the distorted rtimor of the Paris r'eport. This story has caused it good deal of anxiety among the families of the men There was a report about Dairen that the ubsconding shoe shiner. Pro- fessor Harry Perkins was In Boston. This report could not be verified how- ovr. btrt it was stated that he was seen there a short tinre ago. William Pickering of New Rochelle. was a visitor in town yesterday.

The company is among the fore- most here with a large following of . ladies and there was no speculation about the success. socially. of last night's feast. There is a question as to the respon- sibility for the lowering of trolley trucks in cases such as the present? where highway improvements are be- ing made. The Connecticut Railway and Lighting Company is representedr as burning virtually mulcted the town of Norwaik for the work along the section of the Westport-Norwaik high- way in that town. but our town fath- ers have elected to consider the mat- ter. Unless the law is incorrectly construed the general statutes provide that the company operating a line along such thoroughfare must lower or raise tracks to conform to the estab~ fished grade. A recent legislative eu- actmeut covering the “paving." how- ever. ptrt it that: "The railroad com- missioners shall make rio order pro- viding for the paving of that part of it highway required by law to be paved by street railway companies. which shall require the use of a different sub- stance for such pavement than that with which the whole rcmninin width of such highway in paved." his in one sense leans toward conferring on cities and towns some degree Of‘alh thority over the construction and maintenance of street railways in and.hlghways but docunot relieve the company from the necessity or expense not. only.of "paving." but conforming in other ways with the requirements of a town. The Connecticut Railway & Lighting Company seem to have a peculiar. meomoric influence over the town of Norwulk. hut Weatport has not yet come nudist the spoil. MEETING OF EMPEROR AND OZAR.
