Mail Carrier Bennett picked up a
coin on the edge of one of the twin
lakes yesterday. To judge from the
smile that illuinined his face as he slip-
ped the coin into his pocket, it was
something of greater value than a
nickel.

Ext-Representative John H. Ferris,
who is at present suffering severely
with neuralgic pains in his face, on
doubt finds some consolation in the
fact that he. is not a member of the
present General Assembly.

Douglas Fowler Post, G. A. R., are

hard at work on the details of the en- "

tertainment which they propose holding

grand bean-bake will also occur at
headquarters on the 9th of April, com-
memorative of the surrender of Lee.
The water commissioners have not
yet made the bids for laying the new
water pipes, public. There seems to be
some difficulty as to the bonds of the
lowest bidder. The commissioners are

‘ acting carefully in the matter, so that

there will be no hitch in the proper
carrying out of the contract when
awarded.

Lizzie Voth was tried for assault on
the person of Julia Pal, this morning,
and pleading guilty to breach of the
peace was fined $131 and costs, $6.76, by
Justice Townsend this morning. Miss
Voth and Miss Pal are Hungarian ser-
vant girls at neighboring families on
Haviland street, and jealousy seems to
be the cause of their troubles.

Capt. \V. H. Verity has recently pur-
chased of J. B. Wheeler a wharf front-
age of 100 feet, south of the railroad
bridge and adjoining 200 feet already
owned by himself, and will erect a
wharf, and it is said a large French
roof building. This, if carried out will
be the most marked improvement in
water property between the two bridges
known for years. The spiles lie on the
property awaiting future use.

Yesterday, Alfred Knapp, a thir-
teen-years 01d boy,was found rummag-
ing around the storerecently vacated
by Wilbur Ayres, having gained en~
trance through a back window. He
was kept in the station house over night
and through the pleadings of hismother
was liberated this morning without
further punishment. This is the same
youngster who recently broke into a
store on South Main street. His next
oflense will be followed by a term in
the Reform school.

The barge “Two Brothers” with a
consignment of coal for E. M. Tolles &
Co. is being lightened at the firm’s
wharf. Yesterday afternoon as a large
scoop full of coal was being hoisted the
hoisting boom broke squarely in twain.
Fortunately the scoop was but a few
feet from the deck, otherwise it is not
altogether unlikely some one would
have been injured. The breakage was
at a point where four large spikes had
been foolishly driven to the heart of
the stick to hold on a collar that might
have been kept in place with a few
tacks. The boom is being replaced by
one of larger calibre.

Edward Taylor died at 8 o’cl oek this
morning after a long and lingering ill-
ness. Mr. Taylor was born in Westport
in the year 1809 and was well iknown
hereabouts as a‘ skillful blacksmith.
He was actively engaged during the
building of the New York and New Ha-

en Railroad about 1849, as a tool
maker and sharpener, and had by econ-

omy and thrift accumulated consider-
able property.

EAST NORWALK.

Mr. and Mrs. Arthur \Valdron enter-
tained thirty members of the Mayflow-
er H. and L. Co. last evening. To say
that the boys received the heartiest
kind of a reception but mildly expresses
it. They were delighted and the host
and hostess won a lasting place in the
memories of all present.

Constable Lockwood was sent for
last night at about eleven o’clock, to
come and arrest a tramp found asleep
in Enos Osborne’s barn, under the im-
pression that he might possibly have
been connected with the recent firing
of the barn on the Gorham property.
The sleeping tourist was taken to the
borough lock-up where he now awaits
an examination, though very few have
any idea that he had anything to do
with the thrice repeated acts of incend—
iarism that finally consumed the Gor-
ham barn. A quite prevalent suspic-
ion is that this barn was fired by the
same villian who burned Raymond
Bros. barn in South Norwalk, and the
Raymond, Saunders’ and Randall barns
here.

Mrs. Worth, the wife of the famous
Parisian dressmaker, dresses very

Mrs. Matilida Sewell. of Augusta,
Me., though 96 years old, is one of the
best piano players in her city.

Mrs. Garfield still wears mourning as
deep as that which she put on when
her husband died ten years ago;

Mrs. Grant’s correspondence is so
large that she finds it impossible to
attend to it all. She gives preference
to letters from soldiers, and endeavors
to answer them with her own pen.

Mrs. Zook. .of Kansas City. who
died rccentl , left $100,000 to distant
relatives anc cut ofl'her husband With
a $5 legacy and a request that he
wouldn’t make a fool of himself by
spending it recklessly.

Lady Brooks, the fashionable Eng-
lish beauty whose name was made
prominent in the card scandal at Tran-
by Croft, is one of the richest heircsscs
in England. She is a blonde, with a
small, delicately chiseled face and a.

 

slender, graceful figure.

 

CONTRACTOR RIDER WARNED.

The Water Commissioners have
served notice again upon Engineer Ri—
der that he must go forward and com-
plete his contract for laying the big
iron mains from the borough upper to
the lower reservoir. They are greatly
dissatisfied at what they deem totally
unnecessary delay in putting down this
pipe last fall, and if the work is not
promptly resumed this spring, Mr. Ri-
der’s bondsmen will be called upon to
complete the contract. '
