Tuc Fifth Regiment Flag.
The notional color of the Fifth Con-
necticut regiment. which was lost in the
heroic charge of the: command at Cedar
Mountain. August 9. 1888, has been re-
stored to the state by the government at
Washington, and is now at the adjutsnt
generals office. It is soon to be mounted
and placed in the battle flag cases, with
the atstc and national colors there. The
flagwu carried at Cedar Mountain by
Color Sergeant E. B. Jones of Wilton,
who was killed in the amt. All
the members of the color guard, with
one exception. were killed or wounded
in the engagement. The use color
was caved sud carried from the field by
the remnant of soldiers who barely cl-
capsd with their lives. Cobra! Chap-

Brook-lac Park.
There seems to be a growing inclina-
tion among the people to look upon this
park as one of the finest in the country.
Every person who has been there holds
a good impression of it. And why not?
Nature has been lavish. and art. backed
by money, has done its utmost to em-
bellsb. We hear of societies. Sunday
schools, associations and plc-nic parties
everywhere arrangingto visit. the park
this season. This is as it should be.
There are two reasons why Brookside is
superior to other parks. It is easy of
access, and in case of rain storm there
is a broad pavilion under which visitors
can obtain shelter. There are few who
do not know enough to go in when it
rains. The trouble is, sometimes. there
are no available points of shelter to go
in at. Brooksidc. therefore, with its
pavilion may be visited at any time rain
or shine. Trains on the Danbury road
will bcrun through the summer with
the direct idea of accommodating ex-
cursionists. Time of running. prompt.
Prices of fare, low.

week Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday

tbccasc the meetings were of a most
interesting character, and the speakers
one and all being men of ability present-
ed thoughts in regard to christian work
worthy of careful study. Enough of
good words were uttered to fill apagc of

pleasant and instructive task. On Mon-

Keeping Paco with the Times.
The New York, New Haven & Hart-
ford railrond company are now building
at their shops in New Haven 9. baggage
car, smoker, two passenger coaches and
two parlor cars for the fast express
which leaves New York daily at 11 a. in.
They are to be furnished in the highest
style of the art and will be ready for the
road soon. The Boston and Albany
road have completed the cars for this
train at their end of the road. and the
train passed through this city for New
York Monday afternoon. The exterior
of these cars are painted olive. and the
marking is in plain but handsome letters.
The interior finish of the smoker is mu-
liogaiiy; of the coaches and drawing
rooms. ash and cherry, with bronze
trimmings. racks and lamp fixtures. The
seats in the smoker are of rattan; in the
coaches of dark drab leather, and in the
drawing room cars of rattan with drab
leather cushions and head rests. The
cars are lighted by full~length windows,
which are provided with spring-roller
shades. There are eight lamps in each
car in handsomely ornamented chande-
liers. The floor of the drawing room
cars is covered with \Vilton carpeting,
and a strip of carpet is laid in the
aisles of the passenger coaches. The
whole effect of the interior finish and
furnishing of the car is light. airy and
pleasing to the eye. There are thirty-
threo seats in each drawing room our
and thirty-eight in the others. 0! the
novelties in arrangement of the drawing
room is that the whole car. except. of
course. the saloon. .wasli room and stove
room. is in one open apartment. In-
stead of the ordinary compartment there
are four seats, similar to those in a
sleeper. at one corner of the car. These
are for the convenience of a card party,
or a party of friends who may wish to
sit close together. They can also be
turned into a bed, the bedding being al-
ways kept ready. andshut out from the
rest of the car by heavy draperies. so
that a sick person can be carried oom~
fnrtable and in seclusion. The beauty
of a train thus made up naturally pro-
duces a sensation in its arrival here. and
quite a crowd assembled at the depot to
examine it. With one exception this is
the fastest train on the road.

Friend Ackert a little way further down
the shore will not. it is hoped. take
unibrage at this remark. Indeed he
should not. as in the strength and bean-
ty of his surroundings at Rota“ he can
afford to be liberal. {\t Wilson‘s there is
almut to be built a large height- huusellu

pnvirctinn 30 by ‘30 feet and two stories
high for a passenger depot. and dwell-
ing for depot. agent. The depot will be
lined up with all modern liiipwvciiients
including telegraph facilities. and no
doubt the telephone. A broad veranda
will be placed on More shim of the
building next the water. and comforta-
ble seats will be supplied. Under this
covering visitors can. with little effort
on their part enjoy a pleasant hour.
Such things as mosquitos were never
known there and people taking the seats
so near the water. will always find cool
drafts—just what they seek always in
summer. The depth of water at the
wharf at low tide is 9 feet, so that vec-
sels with freight or pleasure parties will
never be obliged to suffer delays. As
good water is lndispcnslble, it may be
added that a never falling well whose
spring has its source on the Wilson
. .
farm, will add to the undid mmvewn‘m-nmc
of visitors. Mr. Flam, the artist has
made a sketch of the Point as it will ap-
pear when all the buildings are com-
pleted. His view embraces Bell‘s Island,
Sheflleld‘s Island, Tavern Island, and in
the distance Long Island, Steamers are
seen passing up and down the Sound.
A craft is at the wharf unloading, and
men engaged handling freight. A tow
of barges with coal for Norwalk and
Daubury is getting ready to make fast,
and smaller vessels are moving about.
The picture suggests the activity likely
to result from the building of the road.

President Wan-cm measure
Common Council.
Monday morning by special appoint-
ment President Watrous accompanied
by vice president Reed visited our city to
hear what people bad to say as to griev-
ances complained of, such as unreason-
able car switching, unreasonable
whistle blowing and the need of doing
something at railroad crossings whereby
accidents may be avoided. The presi-
dent was met at the depot by mayor
Swartz, who conducted him to the
council room and introduced him to the
members, Gen. N. Taylor acting as
presiding officer. The meeting was
pleasant in character, and being wholly
informal there was, as there should al-
was be in such matters, freedom in the
expression of sentiment. Mr. Solmans
thought the interests of the railroad
company and city could be best main-
tained by gates at the crossings. Board-
ing at the Mahackemo hotel hehad been
annoyed late at night by engines whist-
ling. He wished someting could be
done about it. The switching of cars
was thought dangerous as now carried
on daily, and if it could be done south of
the depot would benefit the place.
W. W. Swords who has a fine oppor-
tunity to judge of what some call a
nuisance, said the removal of switching
would be a benefit. He had seen the
thoroughfare blocked many times, all
hours :of the day for a much as five
minutes. The Danbury road. in his
opinion was as much at fault in the
preuses as the New Haven.
Mr. Watrous tasked if freight
trains did not generally move slow at
that point. Mr. Swords thought they
did.
Mr. T. I. Raymond knew littrl‘é about
the whistling as he livedsc'me distance
from the road, but something to protect
people at the crossings should be at
once introduced. He had wondered why
accidents did not occur. A few days
ago he saw seventeen vehicles waiting a
chance to cross the tracks but could not
on account of freight cars moving. lie
was of the opinion that some express
trains passed through the city at too
rapid a rate of speed for safety. He
wanted better facilities at the depot for
handling heavy freight.
Mr. Newcomb of the Mahackcmo ht)
tel said some guests had been so annoyed
by engines and their whistles that re-
mote apartments had to be taken by
them.
Mr Sherwood endorsed all that had
been said. He had been annoyed by
the switching at midnight, 2 o‘clock and
5 o'clock in the morning, the latter hour
being the worst andwould be‘glad tohsve
the whistling cease on account of his
wife who is in delicate health. It so
disturbed her that he was thinking of
moving out of the neighborhood.
Ex. Mayor Ely felt that the New Ila-
ven railroad had been of great benefit to
this place. He was aware that there
never had been a serious accident at any
crossing in the city. .0110 trainjthe 9:18
p. m. which he thought moved too fast
across our territory. At that hour there
was no flagman at the crossings. It
would be well to provide means toavoid
dangers from thissource. Of switching
he believed there were some features
which could be dispensed with and he
hoped they would be. He understood
the D. a N. road had complained be-
cause the N. Y. 8: N. If. road had used
their tracks a good deal, and on applica-
tion to the officials of the latter road the
answer they got was to the effect that
their own facilities compelled them to
adopt that course. He alluded to the
incident at Mr. Theo. Wilcox‘s funeral
Wednesday, where those following the
remains to the grave were obliged to
separate. and be kept waiting. in order
that a train of freight cars could be dis-
posed of. The road officials were. in his
opinion. not to be blamed personally for
this. lie believed a fiagman was of
more importance than a conductor.
Whistling as it had been carried on was
a nuisance and should be abated.
Mr. T. Baker set all present laughing
by his first remark. and then went on to
picture the dangers likely to result from
car switching in this city as new carried
on. He touched both roads alike.
Something could be done in his opinion
to change the cnlvr of things. Whis-
tling was annoying. lie thought some
trains went too rapidly through the city.
lilr. Austin thought it impossible for a
llagmau to warn all who wanted to ewes
when there is a crowd.
Mr. Stillsou, in a most jovial mood
mmplalned of the whistling but still
thought it a good thing to some extent.
for the early whistles waked him up
promptly in the morning. 110 however
thought there we“. dangers at crossings
and in the switchings.
Several other gentlemen made remarks.
Mayor Swarm thought afternoon switch-
ing was the worst as then more people
were in the streets and the danger con-
sequently greater. Citizens are troubled
very much about it, and hoped for
prompt action.
Mr. Wstrous remarked that all large
bodies, except locomotives. move slow.
Be w‘Es happy to know from citizens
what the troubles were. According to
his view. a man women or child was
safest when, at points of danger like
crossings, they rely on their own eyes
and ears rather than those of others. A
man can look out for his own life better
than any one else. In behalf of the com-
pany he represented, he was willing to
aaythat anything fair and proper would
be done. We do not control the whis-
tling—tbs law regulates that. There is
however no law requiring the blowing
of whistles to awaken sleeping employ-
ees. If that has been done here it shall
be stopped. Some kinds of whistles are
lndlspcnalble. If I and out the particu-
lar mun guilty of theolfcnsc complained
oflellscc that he is warned to be
more thoughtful. He advised the coun-
cil to address the chairman of the Ball-
road committee who in reply would
suggests remedy for the trouble oom-
plalncd of. While he was anxious to
aid in diminishing the annoyance be dig!"
not want to promise a. thing in haste,
not knowing that he could be able to
bring it about. He sddcd, "We fight
bloodless but pn-lonlcss." His Honor,
the Mayor thought that, inasmuch as
our people are rapidly increasing the
need of early action is obvious.
Mr. Wstrous, concurring in that view
said he was aware of the fact that the
company had frluds in this locality and
