Three men were walking on the rail-
road track from Fair-field to Bridgeport
at T if. in. on Monday. Upon nearing a
lonely spot known as the “Tramp Reu-
dezvous." just outside the city line. tlicv
beard piercing screams and rushed iii
the direction of the sounds. By the light
of smouldering railroad ties. burned
nightly by tramps who infest the local-
ity. they saw four men ran across the
swamp into Pine Island and disappear
in the woods. leaving the prcstntte form
of a woman. Two of the travelers pur-
sued the fleeing villains and the third
went to the assistance of the woman.
Her clothes were torn. her hair dishev~
eled. It seems that Letitia Burr had
left tier father‘s house with eggs and
milk for flsick neighbor. when she was
seized by four unknown men who smoth~
cred her cries and carried her to the
traiiip‘s bivouac. From hysterical ex-
citement and abuse she fainted while
telling her story. An alarm was sound
ed. Neighbors soon turned out en masse
some pursuing the rougha and others
carrying Letitia to her father‘s house.
where she lies in a critical condition.
Much indignation is felt because the
tramp law is not enforced and this vile
nest obliterated. Excitement runs high
and lynching is talked of. The victim
is about 23 years of age and prepomss-
tug. '

Purchase of an Armory Site.
Members of Company D and F are to
be congratulated on the substantial pro«
guess which they have made towards ob-
taining the much wished for Norwalk
armory. Gen. Couch. one of the mem‘
,bers of the State Armor} Commiss‘cn.
has just efl‘ected the purchase of the
Chichester lot near the junction of West
aycnuc and the Turnpike. No better
tecc of land than this could have been
ound in the town of Norwalk. Its .10-
cation is geometrically Cf n‘ral. the horse
cars pats within a few feet of it; from a
military point of view its itiou is
commanding. there is room ul about it
for the formation of a battalion, and its
dimenstons are sufiicient for the erection
of the largest drill room in the state. It
is understood that ex-Senator Hyatt in—
terested himself in bringing about this
good result. and that outside of their
own circle military folks are most in-
debted to him and Mr. E. J. Hill for
what they have. gained. \Vith this en-

Tuesday evening. as “Juliet.“ fully mct
tlic expectations of a critical audience.
and justified—the lavish praise that has
been bestowed upon her as an actress.
She may not have received so visible a
demonstration of the favor with which
her efforts were received as in other
places. tas .\‘orwnlk audiences are the
coldest on cartbl. yet nothing but favor-
able comments are heard. Miss Mather
can truly lay claim to unrivalled excell-
ence in several particulars. ‘he is beau-
tiful. brilliant and powerful. and gives
unmistakable evidence of keen appreci-
ation. careful and conscientious interpre-
tation. and elecutioiiary powers that
we have never seen surpassed. In de-
picting joy. anxiety. despair and des-
peration. she is art itself. as she. entirely
conceals it. Of Mr. Alexander Salvini.

compliiiientnry. as Well as eomplimen~

There is a resident of this town known
for his integrity. industry and very mild
and quiet character. He is the trusted
keeper and pilot of Theodore Lcwiizles

Vanderbilt Johnson. He has a wife and
five children whom he. by a close strug~
gle. manages to support on the wages of
one dollar and fifty cents per day. This

L‘llomniideu‘s Tuesday evening. There
was a full house and a very interesting
tiniv. and all seemed to enjoy themselves.
Sunday was a very interesting day for
the East avenue church. Rev. Mr. Crom-
lish preacllt‘d a farewell discourse in
which he gave a very interesting history
of the church since it was first organized
and services wero held in the old shop.
up to the present time. All were pleased.
and many regret to part with Mr. Crom-
lish. for his labors have been very suc~
ccssful in paying off the church debt.
Tuesday evening a surprise was given
to Thomas \Vood in honor of his sixty-
tliird birth day. The evening was spent
in a very pleasant way. there being some
fine vocal music from a large delegation
of the'Sparkling \Vater Temple of Honv
or. of which Mr. “'ood is chaplain, and
Mim Jennie Giddelly of N. Y. A lady elo«
cutionist gave some very fine recitations.
after which Mr. “Food was presented
with an elegant gold headed cane by his
seven sons. The presentation speech
was made by Thomas \Vood, Jr. of
Bridgeport. in which he spoke in.a very
feeling terms of their love for the father
though separated from the parental roof.
Mr. W'ood could scarcely respond, so
great was his surprise. and so much over-
come was he by his feelings of gratitude.
About 10 o‘clock a collation was served
to which all did justice.
BROOKSIDE.
Nature has ordered a new spring suit
audit will be expected within the next
four weeks.
The latest arrival at Brooksitie is a
hilly goat. one of those ferocious kind,
always hungry and ready to eat any-
thing from u barbed wire fence to its“
mistrms’ apron. We expect to hear of
some lively times with that \Villiam be~
fore the summer goes by.
The concert given at the chapel last
Monday evening. by the young people
of Dar-ion, was very enjoyable to those
present, but owing to its not being bet-
ter announced, there was a small attend-
ance to what there would have been had
it been better known. We hope they
will not be discouraged in this their
first attempt in this place. but give us a
little better chance next time. '
