The death of David Dayton at Dorian
last Saturday came with shocking and-
donni-ss upon this community. Mr.
Dayton was in attendance on court at
Darien, and left the court room about
noon to feed his horse, and wmutting
the feed bag over the horses h when
he was seen to sink to his knees and then
fall over on the ground. Going to his
assistance it was discovered that life was
extinct or almost so. A hysician was
summoned at once. but be ore he arriv-
ed life had become extinct. The cause
of death isa partial mystery, although
the general impression prevails that it
was heart disease. The only evidence of
this, however, is in the fact that for a
few days revious to his death the de~
ceased had complained of a pain in his
chest, and after his death a porous plas-
ter was found high on his right breast.
In speaking of his pain to a friend he
had said that were it. located lower he
would think it was caused by heart dis~
case. No post mortem was made. Mr.
Dayton was a native of Milford. where
his remains were interred. The funeral
was largely attended at his late residence
on Monday. the pull bearers being mems
bers of the Legion of Honor, of which
he was a member and in which he had
an insurance of $2000.
Mr. Dayton in former years was in the
custom tailoring and clothing business
in this city, but of late years had only
done such custom work as his duties of
deputy sheriff and constable allowed.
lie was an excellent officer and a good
citizen and a member of the Congregn~
tional church. He leaves a wife and
onlv daughter, who in this sudden and
awful bereavement have the warmest
sympathy of the whole community.

Neil Burgess and his excellent company

The American Publishing Company of
Hartford. Conn, tas per advertisement
in another column.) have just issued a
new book entitled “My “'ife‘s Fool of a
Husband.“ As it is a bright sparkling
work. of good moral tone, well adapted
for family, individual. or public readin .
it will doubtless become a popular boo
and find a wide circulation. The volume
has a profusion of glood illustrations : is
well rinted and andsomely bound ;
and a together is one of the funniest and
most attractive books that has appeared
for years. Some one can make money
by securing the agency for this vicinity.

ject:
When it was prophesied in these col-
umns, at the beginning of the season that.‘
a taper-square crown, stiff hat was one
of the possibilities of a favorite shape:
the statement was met in some quarter“
with derision. As the season advanced.
however, there was a very decided
demand for this style of bat. and
it is evidently going to meet with a large
sale. The taper—crown, with more or
less modification in the way of curl. ma
be set down as a staple shape that, wi l
sell for years to come to a large class of
trade who do not take kindly to the
round Derby. Iii colors. browns are still
selling well. although not to the extent
of a few weeks ago. From the trimming.
that are being ordered out for the spring
trade. it is evtdent that fancy colors will
be shown in greater profusion than ever
before. Slates, wine colors browns.
plums, greens and blues are among those
that have been ordered the most freely,
and as they coincide with the colors that
are being produced in clothing woolcns,
it is quite probable that they may meet
with a ready sale.
Long Island oysters.
Thursday afternoon several oyster
boats went from Connecticut to Glen
Cove harbor. Long Island, and the occu~
pants began taking oysters from private
ieds. Constable Sheridan put out for
the thieves, who opened fire on him and
compelled him to return to the shore.
The constable afterward procured a tug
boat and pursued the nutmeggers. Af-
ter a hot chase he succeeded in bringing
one of the boats too and arrested the en-
tire crew. Edward Ayers. masterZof the
(‘onnccticut boit. which was captured.
was arraigned in court yesterday. 'He
acknowledged taking the oysters, but
said he believed the beds were natural
ones. He pleaded not guilty. \\'arrants
have been issued for the arrest of all the
depredators. and they will be indicted
by the grand jury. Connecticut people
intend to contest the matter in the
courts. claiming that Long Island oys
termon have no right to the beds. Yt‘th
terday morning about twenty~fivc boats
from the (‘onnccticut shore were on the
beds oystering, and a party of officers
started from tllcn t‘ovc to arrest them.

The towns of the State have jurisdic—
tion over oyster beds within what is
called the eyesight line. which extends
from headland to headland. This juris~
diction, therefore. applies to rivers. har-
bors and bays, over which theStatecom-
mission has no authority. During the
first year of the State commission the
beds around Norwalk Islands were under
its control. after which by a special act
of the Legislature, the beds were ceded
to Norwalk. The: State jurisdiction or

about 315,000 acres. l‘ndcr the provis-

Nearly all of these claims have been sur—
veyed. David t‘. Sanford of New Haven

oner Pike, are engaged in this work. and
are now surveying cfl' llarien. Some

varying in the different towns. The
State tax on oyster beds controlled by the
commission. is at the rate of one per cent

sat down to a bountiful rcpnstt the for}:
of conversation was the reception wh ch
was to be given in the evening to the
Neptune and Forrest City Yacht clubs,
at the residence of Mr. Joseph Spinning,
Cottage City. In anticipation of a most
pleasant time We dispatched our dinner,
and began to make our preparations for
the evening. After arranging our affairs,
etc. a party of us started off on a fishing
excursion, while others of the club, pro-
fering a quiet siesta, remained on board
ship. Rowing up the harbor we found
several new arrivals. Among them were
the sloop-yachts Gracie and Rambler.
two yachts famous in racing annals.
Just above the Gracie lay a revo-
nue cutter, her trim yards on lofty
spars towering above us. The sentry
was pacing the forward deck, and the
officer of the deck stood leaning over the
bulwarks. Further up the boy were two
\ largo schooner yachts, just from New-
port. Tho tri up the harbor was very
enjoyable.“ we aged our trip
until near] train time, and then put
about an headed for the Ne tune
schooner. Coming on board we ound
all bands 'in active preparation for the
rece tion. At 6:30 oclock we went to
he cpot and the train for Cottage City,
a ~iving there at 7 o‘clock. In ashort
we found, and wended our way to

green trees through the grounds. while
from various points upon the lawn Ro-
man candles sent briglit-hued meteors in
showers around us. and rockets cut their
way in graceful curves and lines of fire
above our heads. A number of rome-
naders passed us. as passing up t e sve—
nuc we came to the house. We were
most cordially greeted by Mr. Spinning
and his charming Indy. and soon began
to find ourselves smon familiar faces.
We were most agrees ly surprised to
meet several brother Neptune-s. Mayor
Holden and Druggiat Plaisted. among
the number who had come down to take
the return trip with us. During the
evening we met many of the prominent
residents of the citv: also renewed our
acquaintance with the Forrest (‘ity club.
,Music and conversation was the order
of the day until 9:80 o‘clock when we
were invited upon the lawn, where, am
der the shelter of a large tent. hand»
comely draped with flags, a sumptuous
‘collation had been laid. After refresh-
ments we returned to the house and
enjoyed the music and rccitstiona. Time
sped by all too rapidly, and ere we were
aware of the fact the hour of departure
was at hand. and at 11 o‘clock we paid
our parting respects to our kind hosts.
and hastened to catch the train for Ed«
gartown. The theme of conversation
during the homewnrd trip was the recep—
tion and its pleasant memories. Fore
most among the bright reminiscences
which cluster round the memories of our
Neptune cruise. are the recollections of
our pleasant reception at the Highland
house of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Spinning.
l‘pon our arrival at Edgartown. headed
by our lumd. we marched to the wharf
and went on board ship. After a quiet
talk and smoke upon deck we made
prc iarations for going below for the
nig it. As we were about leaving the
deck a sound of sweet music was gently
waftod to our ears, and as we looked
through the darknessabesutiful little
yacht glided by us. her sails filled with
the last bmthings of the sea breeze, and
rounded to just below us, while to our
waiting ears came the soft strains of
"Annie Laurie,“ played upon exquisitely
tuned wind instruments. Other selec-
tions followed, and for some moments
we listened with feelings of deep emo-
tion, and as we sought our couches that
night we thought of home.
L'pon nwaking and going on deck the
next morning we found that a heavy
rain storm had set in and that we we“|
in fora “spell of weather.“ After the
nioriiin repnst we assembled in the for-
ward ca in and held divine service, led
by our worthy chaplain. At 10:30 several
of the club went ashore. and attended
divine service at the Methodist church.
At 2.00 p.m. the dinner was served, and
our steward gained much deserved
praise for the bountiful repnst spread
before us. After discussin dinner we
wrote letters home and ran the books
so often read. and began to make prepa-
rations-for the homeward voyage. as the
commodore had announced his inten-
tion of weighing anchor at an early
hour in the morning. At 5:00 o‘clock
several of us went ashore. having ac~
copied an invitation to a quiet tea at the
house ofa friend. In the evening we
attended church and listened to an im-
pressive sermon. After church every
member of the club repaired on board
ship and reported to the commodore. As
we retired to rest that night a feeling of
regret that our pleasant cruise wasso
near at an end was uppermost in our
thoughts. we did not know that some of
the happiest hours of the trip we yet
were to pass upon that home-ward voy-
age and‘that the famous “trial" and its
humorous incidents was yet to come.
No one had informed us that the Nep-
tune club reserved several of its most
important ceremonies until the last day
or two of the cruise and so we were
pensive.
The narration of the femur. incidents
occurring upon the omwud voyage
trill form the theme of our next and
final letter.
