‘ THE J (:111' Iusaz'rsslvjn.
.1111! All Because 011.c- ll’us Too lv‘resh.

It'is on record that the late Lawyer
Belden, of Newtown, some time deceas-
ed and whose memory and quaint say-
ings are alive within the recollections
of the older members of the Fairfield
County Bar, once said that the Omnip-
otent himself could not tell what a Fair-
field Co. jury would do. Were he now
alive, he would have seen another veri-
fication of his utterance in the “too
fresh” conduct of J uryman Lewis Tut-
tle, 2d, of West Norwalk. _ As already
announced in the DAILY GAZETTE, for
several days‘past William Broadhnrst
of Darien, has been on trial in the
Criminal Common Pleas Court, for
wilful injury to a fence erected by
George Raymond, of the same place.
The fence had been erected over the
inlet of a tide water creek, so as to ob-
struct the passage of B1 oadhui st’s boat
to a point wheie he had been 11' ont to
moor it. He twice destroyed the fence,
and Raymond caused his arrest there-
for; He was convicted and fined in a
Justice s Court, and took an appeal to
the Common Pleas Court.

One of the jurymen who had been
sitting upon this case, is Lewis Tuttle
2d, of West Norwalk. ' A number of
photographs of the creek and the fence
have been shown to the jury during the
progress of the trial, so as to thorough-
ly familiarize them with the situation.
This was not enough for Mr. Tuttle,
however. Yesterday morning the case
had hardly been in progress five min-
utes when he made the astonishing an-
nouncement, that on account of the
photographs not having been satisfac-
tory to him, he had since last Friday,
gone to the scene and personally over-
looked it.

Judge Walsh immediately suspended
the trial, and called the juror, in com-
pany with the Norwalk attorneys in-
terested, into his private room. After
a forty minute conference, in which he
severely lectured-the juror for the lat-
ter’ s freshness. ’

' Judge Walsh dismissed the jury on
account of Mr. Tuttle’ s improper con-
duct. J udge Walsh said that he was.
satisfied that Mr. Tuttle had acted in-
nocently, though indiscretely, and
would therefore impose no punishment.

The Marvin-Carter wedding, an-
nouncement of which first appeared in
the DAILY GAZETTE, was solemnized at
Trinity chapel, New York, on Monday
at high noon. The bride, Miss Grace,
is the daughter of Mrs. Henry Carter,
who sometime since, purchased the
John P. Beatty residence on the corner
of West avenue and Butler street. The
groom is Dr. David Meeker Marvin of
Brooklyn, and a native of Westport, as
“all his fathers were,” he being a
grandson of the late D. M. Marvin of
the old Allen’s Gate District on the
VVestport pike. Rev. George R. Van
D. NVater officiated, Rev. C. M. Scl-
leck and Rev. Joseph Reynolds, J12,

assisting. The bride wore a traveling
dress. The maid of honor was Miss

Henrietta Csrter, sister of the bride.
Dr. Marvin’s best man was his brother,
NValter T. Marvin, and the ushers were
Joseph Struthers, Henry Oakman, Dr.
F. LeMoyne Hupp and Dr. E. W. Per-
kin. The bridal couple started at once
for a southern tour, and on their return
they will live at 2,009 Fifth avenue.

WILSON-
Despite Monday’s dreadful storm, the
wedding of Harry Wilson of Norwalk,
and son of the late Joseph IV. Wilson,
at Ansonia, was in all other respects a
delightful affair, and largely attended.
Mr. and Mrs. O. E. Wilson and daugh-
ter, accompanied by the the groom’s
mother, Mrs. Julia Wilson and her son
Robert G. and his wife, of Norwalk,
went over from here as witnesses to the
happy event. The bride was Miss Car-
rie, only daughter of Harrison C. Miles,
Es’q. The marriage was solemnized by
Rev. Mr. Marwich, at 5 p. 111., Miss
Bertie Wilson acted-as bridesmaid and
Frank H. Miles, brother of the bride,
as best man. The young couple were
recipients of many beautiful gifts.
The parents of the happy couple, it is
said, gave them very practical and sub-
stantial evidence of their love and good
will. After the wedding Mr. and
Mrs. NVilson left for New York, where
they remained over night, going yes-
terday to Philadelphia, NVashington
and other points of interest. On their
return they will reside in ‘ Ansonia,
where Mr. Wilson is engaged in busi-
ness.

Giles Gregory has set a good example
to every young married man in Nor-
walk, and we hope his enterprise will
find imitators. Mrs. Gregory was to
be away at the time of the library sup-
per, and yet wanted to contribute
something toward it. Her husband re-
assured, saying he would make some-
thing himself. She somewhot feared
and doubted, yet still saw no other
way than to leave the matter in his
hands. Sure enough,Monday evening
the young man walked into the hall
with a whole gallon of delicious wine
jelly of his own manufactvre. He not
only presented the contents of the ser-
viceable yellow cake bowl, but the
bowl itself, which would be dearto any
good housekeeper’s heart, and the con—
sequence was that it was snapped up by
a lady who tested the jelly, and pro-
nounce it “the best she ever tasted.”

'Sf. Paul’s

The regular business meeting of the
Ladies Guild of St. Paul’s church was
held at the parish rooms yesterday af-
ternoon at 2:30. After the minutes of
the last meeting had been read there
was some discussion as to an e11-
tertainment to be given after Lent for
the benefit of the church for whom
these ladies sew and work in other
ways. Then a scheme for having a
series of Tuesday evening meetings
during Lent was talked over. The
rest of the afternoon was spent in sew-
ing, mingled with pleasant talk.

The Vassar College Alumnal of New
York and the vicinity, held‘their an-
nual meeting last Saturday, at Sherry’s
on Fifth avenue, New York. After the
regular business meeting, luncheon
was served, which was followed by a
delightful social meeting. There were
present representatives from nearly all
the classes graduated since the college
was founded twenty-five years ago. It
would be difficult to find amore ac-
complished assemblage of women, or
tradition to the contrary, one better
dressed.

Dr. James M. Taylor, president of
the college, whom Norwalk people will
pleasantly remember as pastor of one
of the city churches some years ago,
addressed the Alumnae upon the advan-
tages and needs of thecollege. . . Presi-.
dent Taylor, in the five years he has
been connected with Vassar, has suc-
ceeded in endearing himself alike to
students, alumnae and friends of the
college, both by his marked executive
ability as well as by his broad grasp
of the needs of a woman’scollege. Dur-
ing his presidency great improvements
and growth have been shown in nearly
every department of study, so that to-
day Vassar College is proud to offer
superior advantages in nearly every
line of work. It posesses one of the
finest physical and chemical labrato-
ries in the country, with special labra-
tories for biological and geological re-
search. Special courses in history,
philosophy and political economy are
now offered. Agymnasium has recent;
1y been erected by the alumnal, the
largest and most fully equipped build—
ing in this country for the physical cul-
ture of women. Its well furnished
observatory has long been known as
the home of Maria Mitchell that won—
derful teacher, as well as explorer of
the Heavens, whose name will always
be an inspiration to Vassar students.
At present, the alumnae are engaged in
raising an endowment fund of $40,000
to establish in her memory, a perma-
nent chair of astronomy. ,

At the reception glowing tributes
were paid to Prof. Mitchell by Mrs.
Helen H. Backus, Miss Loyd and Miss
Emily E. Morris, daughter of Judge
Morris of New Haven.

Miss Maria P. Brace gave an inter-
esting account of the Work of the col-
lege settlement among the poorest
classes in New York. Among other
clubs organized by the college workers
is one composed of a dozen or more
“young toughs” under twenty, devoted
to the study of the civil government of
the United States and of the principles
that should govern a free people—ac-
cording, in their own words, “to the
best of their ability and character.”
A young member of the club on hear-
ing the definition of a vote, the “king-
liest act of a freeman,” remarked with
all earnestness, “why, then, a man
who sells his vote sells his own soul,
doesn’t he. 9" Such awakening might
well be hoped foi in higher ci1 cles than
the slums of a big city.

The Alumnae Association has been
p bud of its president this yeai. Miss
lifhlen Dawes Brown, author of “Two

,College Girls” and of a work on Eng-
’lish writes, a subject upon which she

has given several charming Courses of

lectures before New York society
women. The new president, elected
for the coming yeai, is Mrs. Laura

Br ownwell Collier of Brooklyn.

1-1 '1‘

The 111id—winter reception, which it is
Col. Roberts’ custom to give, took
place last evening, as announced, and
was as thoroughly successful as these
affairs always are. Norwalk would
miss these pretty dances sadly, and we
wonder what we ever did without them.
Their distinctive character which
brings together those of all ages, from
the gray.haired down to the children,
lends to them a peculiar charm, and
the gallant Colonel, who never appears
to better advantage than when offering
the hospitality of his house, ably sec-
onned by his corps of assistants, and
the students, never allows any feeling
of stiffness to creep in. The spacious
apartments are admirably adapted to
the purpose of entertaining, the music
is always excellent, and the universal
exclamation of the guest is, “Didn’t
we have a good time 1”

Amng the older persons present
were Mrs. and Miss Moody, Mr. and
Mrs. 0.1) “ L.ockwood, and Mrs. Mat-
thew .5, Miss Baird, who chaperoned
her scholors, Mr. and Mrs. Homer
Merrill, Mrs. 0. E. Wilson, Dr. and
Mrs. Gregory and Miss Pinneo, Mr.
and Mrs. Stephen Comstock. Mr. and
M Bird. Mrs. Daskam and Mrs.
Stevens, Mrs. Thos. Peck and Miss
Peck, Mrs. J efi'rey, Mr. Vogel and Mr.
Swords of South Norwalk. These
ladies and gentlemen, not caring to
dance, were provided with comfortable
seats where they could watch the scene
and a witching sight they found it.

Among those on the floor were Miss
Mamie Stuart, in a gown of figured
pink gauze, over silk of the same shade,
Miss Mabel Vanderhoef. bewitching in
striped white gauze, out 1011', and
finished at the neck with white bead
trimming which emphasized the wear-
er’s exquisite coloring, Miss Clara
Street in a soft white wool dress, charm—
ing in its becoming simplicity and ap-
propriateness, Miss Daisy Bird in
white and green figured challie. Miss
Birdie Wilson in pink China silk, with
pendent ribbons surrounding the
waist, Miss Grace Cole in white lace,
Miss Fannie Leonard in blue cashmere
and white lace, Miss Sperry, a. friend
of Miss Leonard, in pink silk and cash—
mere, Miss Swords in white cashmere
finished with ostrich feathers, Miss
Hibbard in red and black. 'Miss
Baird’s school was there in full force,
and very pretty and happy young la-
dies they looked. Some of the gentle-
men whose evening clothes distin-
guished them from the uniformed mili-
tary boys were Mr. Legrand and David
Raymond, Mr. George Betts, J. Ar-
thur Ambler, Mr. Ferris and Mr.
Boyd The “boys in blue” made a
gallant show, and exerted themselves
to the utmost to entertain their guests,
with the most eminent success, if
sparkling eyes and dimpling checks
are any criterion.

Supper was served at ll o’clock in
the commodious dining hall, and a very
jolly supper it was. The small tables
made it possible for a party of Special
friends to seat themselves together, the
service was excellent, and there was no
delay.

At the close of the’ Home Sociable in
South Norwalk about twenty “up-
towners” came on to the Colonel’s,thus
finishing the evening most delightfully
themselves and bringing fresh life and
interest with them. Among these were
Miss Cholwell, Miss Hoyt, Miss Alice

Cholwell, Mrs. F. St. John LockWood.

and Miss Lockwood; Mrs. Frank Leon-
ard, Miss Kate Anderson, whose many
friends will be delighted to welcome
her here; Miss Charlotte Betts, Miss
Miller, Miss Gibbs and Miss Edith

Street.

We congratulate Colonel Robers,
that he has not only the power but the
disposition to make so many people in-
nocently happy.

Hartford. Conn, Feb. 11.—Many peo-
ple have an idea that today’s work will
result in opening a way out of the. diffi—
culty, but no one could be found who
could explain how the settlement was
to be brought about. It was an idea
born rather of hope than any rational
intelligence of coming events. There
is an impression that several large cor-
porations, especially the railroads. are
trying to settle he matter in order to
secure legislation in their intercsns.
This isa mistake, the men most familiar
with the working of the lobby say, as
the Consolidated Road would just as
s1,»1111have§the Legislature adjourn to-
day as at any time. It has no hay out
as far as can be ascertained.

Expectancy predominated in. the
minds of the members of the Nareneral
Assembly this morning. Every indi-
vidual member wanted to know what
progress the conference committee had
made at the session yesterday. and
what the chances of settlement were.
The members af the third house ap—
peared to be more anxious than at any
time this session. They are l.)eginning
to realize that unless the conference
committee settle the present trouble
and start the wheels of legislation their
chances for this year will not pan out
very heavy. If the third house mem-
bers could have their way they Would
give the democrats everything and
make any- other concession necessary
to prevent legislation being blocked
for two years. In this, 1111 party feel-
ing has been thrown to the winds by
the lobbyists who only wish to have
their 1etainers even if they are onlv
“Contingents” ones. Both branches
1ve1e01o11ded today with spectators,
many of, whom appeared disappointed
when they found that no settlement
would be announced today.

\Vinsted, Feb. 11. -—The case of Ly-
man Dunning of East Canaan against
Michael Bion came up before Judge
Fenn in the Superior Court here yes-
terday afternoon. Counsel for both
sides together with French counsel in
New York, came to an agreement
whereby Bion will again be returned
to France at the expense of Mr. Dun-
ning. and will there be kept under po-
lice suveillance as he will be compelled
to report to certain authorities every
day. Bion is the man who attempted
to blow up County’Commissioner Dun-
ning’s house, but by mistake blew up
the Congregational church next door.
For this he was sentenced to 10 years
imprisonment. NVhen he was released
from prison he threatened to take the
life of Mr. Dunning. Dunning then
sent him to France with the understand—
ing that he remain there. He soon re-
turned and went to work over the New
York state line. He was induced to
come over and was arrested on a war—
rant charging him with threatening to
harm Lyman Dunning. As he could
not furnish $5,000 bonds to keep the
peace he has remained in the Litchfield
jail for two years. Bion will sail for
France next Saturday, Feb. 14.
