C. A. C" held their reunion in a heavy downpour yesterday. The large parade which W33 scheduled to start from the South Norwalk railroad station. was call- ed off by Grand Marshall Le Roy D. Downs and the committee arrang- ed to have Major General Clarence R. Edwards, commander of the Yankee Division. and Dan Edward. world war hero. speak to the vet- erans in the Armory. In the afternoon the former sold- iers made their‘ way to the Schultzc let off Westport avenue. Even at this iate'hour in the day. there was no let up in the heavy rain with a result that the automobiles soon cut up the lot, and made it a regular sea of mud. . This brought back to the minds of the veterans the days on the battle— fields of France. when they waded through the mud covered fields and _many comments were heard regard- . ing it. The Clambake was served under a large tent by Oscar Schultze and a large corp of‘workere. who despite great handicaps. did fine work. Clouds l’nrtcd In the evening the veterans at- tended the dance at the Armory. which was thrown open to the public and for the first time during the entire day the c1 uds cleared and the rainfall stoppc for a short time. The session at the Armory opened at 12 o'clock. after the completion of the registration of the delegates. The colors of the regiment, which were brought to this city from Hart- ford. were carried into the ball by the drill team of the Frank C. God- frey Post, No. 12.

The Weather The disturbance which. caused the rain in New England yesterday is now passing out to see through the St. Lawrence Valley.

O'Brien neither stumbled nor was pushed. according to Mrs. Harry W. Caney of 3 Academy qtreet. who was present. He dove in the water. and struck a rock. O'Brien and his wife, who is a neice of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Aiken. keeper at the Norwalk Reservoir. to gether with Mr. and Mrs. Harry W. Caney. and a number of New York friends, were visiting over Sunday at the Aiken Cottage near Belden Hill. “We went in swimming in a pond below the reservoir." Mrs. Caney said. "Mr. O'Brien was not clothed as some reports say. He had on a swimming suit. and began to walk in the water. I suppose he thought he was all right. and suddenly he dove in. Anyone that sees the rocks on the bottom there can readily under- stand how the accident happened." Mr. Caney. who is the local agent for the Texas Oil company. was the first to realize that O'Brien was in difficulties. and, although fully clothed. jumped into'the water and brought him back to land. He was carried to the office of the South Norwalk Soda company. where the Norwaik ambulance with Dr. George Fawcett took him to .the Norwalk hospital. It was stated this morning at that institution that his condition is “bad." and his friends hold little hope for his recovery. Hospital authorities say that his neck is broken, and that all his limbs are paralyzed. . Some stories of the accidents” that O'Brien slipped into the water. others that he dove in fully clothed. and another version is that he was pushed in. One man who visited O'Brien at the hospital this morn- ing said that O'Brien caught his foot on a vine and stumbled in. WARRANTS FOR STRIKES. MELBOURNE. Australia, Sept. 8.—-(AP).
