Trouble'fxpocted to be Over in a Few Days. The new cost of oil which has been applied to the streets by Highway Commissioner Daniel Dunlop is now rapidly drying and pll trouble is ex- pected to disappear in a few days. Mr. Dunlop is a busy man these days an- swering questions regarding the. oil. but he has hit upon an ingenious way of meeting the situation. When a complainant voices his objection, Mr. Dunlop quietly puts a cigar in the complainant's mouth. Generafly that ends the objection. This week Mr. Dunlop took a trip d0wn to Port Chester and looked over the oiling done there. Everywhere the application is immediately follow ed by complaints, but when the. effect begins to be felt, the complaints change to praise. The oil of the lat- est coat applied in.

Funds For the institution to be Re- cewed Next Saturday. Much interest is being taken in the propoaed “hold-up" day to be c0hduct~ ed by the Ladies' Board of the Nor- walk Hospital, for the-benefit oi' the institution. . . - Concerning a campatgn for the hem slit of the Ellis Hospital, Schenectady, New York, a lady pf that city says: "We divided our city into fifty sec- tions or stations," writes a Schenec- tady woman of the Operations there. Each station was in charge of a chap- eron with nine women working under her direction. Eachcarried a paper box for the reception of money and wore upon her left: arm a white band with a red cross. We appointed a committee on automobiles, whose duty it was to secure the services of all an- tomobilcs available. ' “We called our big meeting and al- though lt was a very rainy day, over- 200 women responded. In less than half an hour every station was assigned to a chaperon. each of whom was asked to select her own helpers Some chap- erones and their helpers covered sever- al blocks each. They boarded all street. cars and even the New York Central trains. Our helpers started to work at six o'clock in the morning and by changing off, worked until ten o‘clock at night. We had our head- quarters at the largest hotel in the city. When the automobilists report- ed ln the morning we gave each of them a. large banner-made of white muslin with a red cross in the center. Owners of the cars decorated them with the national colors.” Two hundred of the fairest young women of the Not-walks will be the hold-up agents on the day the cam- paign is to be waged here, next Satur- day. That everybody will endeavor to help along the good canse is hoped on all sides. COLORED MAN-ASSAULTED. Charles Thompson Accuses Charles thtleton of Doing It. What was evidently a premeditated assault took place close to midnight. last evening, on Mill Hill, Norwalk. Charlie Thompson and Sam Bonner, Jr., had just stepped off a car, having returned from South Norwalk. when they were set upon by Charles Little- ton, a Norwalk man. Thompson tells this story: “Charlie says to me, 'You're the man I'Ve been looking for,‘ and with that he hit me a out side of the face. r grabbed him by the waist, and upset him in the mid- die of the road. hen hetook out a bottle and thing it straight at Frank Blade's head. It hit the boy side of the ear, and he went: down like a ton: of lead. Then Littlebon beat it, and was out of sight before we knew it." ' Thompson says that he doesn’t re- member of anything that Littieton bad against him. He admits, however, that he must have been harboring some grudge. Miss PAGE SURPRISED. A merry party of nearly twenty lads and lassies ascended the hill to the home of Miss Ethel Page, at 19 Grand- view avenue. last evening. and took her completely by surprise. She rose to‘the occasion, however, and music, vocal and instrumental, dancing and games were indulged in until a late hour, when refreshments were served and all left for home, taking with them the memory of a very pleasant evening. old Shoe. . 98 Washington Street illiliiilill I, sumac Is RIJI-ililllll (Continued From First Page). The accident happened about. 2:30 a. m. The Commonwealth was pro» ceediug slowly because of the thick blanket of fog, which had obscured everything from the time she left Fall River. The Volund was proceeding at a leisurely rate of speed. when Cap- tain Williamson. of the Common- wealth, sighted it coming in his direc- tion. The siren blasts which followed, however, were sounded too late to pre- vent the collision aud the Volund, af- ter remaining above water a short time. rapidly-settled. forcing the crew to take to the water. from where they were rescued by the. crew of the steamer Maine. ,_ Following the collision Captain Wlli llamson ordered the wireless operator to send a general message of distress along the Sound, and within an hour five of the, vessels had ‘answered and volunteered their. .msulstancétlfi.‘ The steamers Maire. Providence and Pris» cilia stood by. he Commonwealth until she started on her journey...nssisting in caring for the members of the .V0- iund‘s crew and in Captain William- son's hasty examination of the dam- age sustained by the Commonwealth, it was found that the injuries were not serious enough to prevent the steamer continuing to New York un. der her own steam and the start was made about 4:30 a. m., after she had remained off-Race Rock for nearly two hours. ' . , . ,_ In the meantime the officials of the line in Fall River and Newport. had been notified of the accident. although the details were lacking and it was known to what extent the Common- allh had been damaged. The steam- er Puritan, of the Fall River Line. docked here for repairs, was ordered ready to proceed to the scene to give what assistance was possible to the Commonwealth and her large number of passengers.. The Puritan had gone part of .the'distance up the Sound when she was recalled by wireless, it being believed that the Commonwealth alreadyhad a suflicienbconvoy to care for the passengers in case of any acci» dent before New York was reached. The accident to the steamer Com- monwealth came as the. culmination of a long day of Sound navigation. made hazardous by the encircling shroud of fog which permitted of but little warning in the case of approach- ing vessels. Leaving New York at 6 o'clock yesterday morning. the Com- monwcalth arrived at Newport about 3 p. m., and immediately proceeded to Fall River, from which place she re- turned ‘on the trip back to New, York about 5'o‘clock. The journey up the Sound was necessarily a slow one, and one requiring much watchfulness. but despite all the care the Commonwealth was unfortunate in running down the equally unfortunate Volund. NEW YORK. Sept. 26.—-The steam- er Commonwealth had not arrived in New York at. 10 a. in. today, and was several hours overdue. Captain Nick. erson, of the Fall River Line, _was in Commonwealth by wireless telegraph. and afterward announced that the Commonwealth was so badly damaged as a result of the collision off Race Rock. early this morning, in which the Norwegian steamer Volund was sunk that she will have to be laid up for extensive repairs upon her arriva' hero. Captain Nickv r mu said the Corn monweaith's condition was not serious that she was not in any immediate danger, but that extensive repairs wll have to be made- before she-can re sume her regular runs. . ‘ . According to the information recelv two steamers came togethortwith tre mendous force. -Neariy every passen get on board was throwh from hir berth by the force of the impact not for a time there was nearly a. panir on board the big Soundstdmer.
