The wedding bells rang merrily yes- terday in New York as a son and daugh- ter of old Norwalk were led to the altar of the Church of the Ascension, and were joined in the holy bonds of wed- lock by the rector, Rev. E. Winchester Donald, at 12.30 o’clock. The high contracting parties were Frederick T. Hubbell, formerly of Norwalk and now‘ of Galveston, Texas, and a grandson of the late Joseph W. Hubbell, one of - Norwalk’s most capable and respected business men of a generation ago, and Miss Mame Riley, a well known and widely esteemed Norwalk young lady, who has, the past season, been a guest of her sister, Mrs. Charles DeKlyn, whose husband is proprietor of the Gedney House, .New York. The groom’s brother,_Mr. Will Hub- bell, acted as usher a-nd Mr. Charles DeKlyn gave the bride away.

Mrs. Charles Hendricks of East Nor- walk, made complaint to the agent of the Connecticut Humane Society, that her 13 year old son had been unmerci- fully pounded by the principal Of the East Norwalk school, Mr. Edward H. Gumbart. The lad was taken to police headquarters in the GAZETTE. BUILDING and stripped and examined by aphysi- cian, who said the bruises though very extensive and severe, were net such as to permanently injure the child. He was black and blue from his shoulders to his heels, and the mother claims was thus inhumanly punished because of ab- senteeism which he could not help, on account of illness and for which she had given him written excuses. J. Bel- den Hurlbutt is attorney for the State Humane Society and will not prosecute the case until, a reasonable time is giv- en the teacher to present the witness- es on the other side. It does not look reasonable that any 'man fit to be a teacher, would thus severely punish a child without some more serious provo- cation than that charged by the justly excited mother. Meantime, the excess- ively paddled lad, for some time to come, will take his meals from the man- tel piece instead Of at the family table. . .0. _.._...._ __... Grace Church Services.

Beardsley, of New Haven. It is hoped the stand; ing committee will be present..

At the meeting Of the subscribers to the fund for the building of a suitable edifice for the Norwalk Club held at the club rooms last night, two elabor- ate plans, with attractive front eleva- tions, were submitted by Architect Ran- dall of East Norwalk. This artistic work was strictly a Norwalk 'produc- tion, the work having been elaborated by Mr. Randall’s expert and accom- plished draughtsman, Mr. Arthur N. , Paddock, who is also well known as the gentleman who has been appointed the organist for Grace church. I A Bridgeport architect also submit- ted two plans through Mr. Ira Cole, but the Randall elevations and plans seemed the favorites. Messrs. George E. Miller, Dr. 'William F. Acton, Ira Cole, Hart Denton and William H. Smith, were appointed a committee to examine plans and specifications and report to the club. Judge Asa B. Woodward, James T. ‘Hubbell and E. J.'Hill were selected as the committee on organization. PARALLEL’R‘OAD HEARING. The Railrommmissioners met interested parties in Bridgeport yesterday.

O. BOLD ROBBERY ON CHESTNUT HILL. Finch Brothers’ Barn Despoiled. The lower barn of the Finch Broth- ers has been systematically robbed during the past winter of hay and oats to a large amount. The thieves, (for there must have been more than one) had keys that not only gave them eu- trance to the barn from which they de- liberately pitched out the hay into their own wagon, but a key to the cat bin as well. The Finches estimate their loss of oats at seventy-five bushels and their loss of hay at several tons. The coolness of the robbers can be under- stood by their feeding their horses be- hind the barn with the oats and hay, while bagging the oats and loading up the hay. There is no clue to the thieves but they are undoubtedly the same vil- lains who are continually pillaging all about Easton, Weston, Bedding and Upper VVIlton. It is high time some special effort was made to capture and punish these audacious thieves. Always in Trouble. The Denver News tells the following on a popular broker now in this city : Will Keeler, the lightning stock maT nipulator of Kansas City and Denver,is telling a good one on himself. Will is interested in a Clear Creek property that came into a fine ore body a few days ago, and after mutual congratula- tions with the other stockholders, he made his way home and entered the house looking very solemn and sup-' pressing the joy he felt at his got... 5k. “ 'hat is the matter now, \Vill?” asked his anxious wife, for she thinks her lord and master has a natural fac- ulty for getting into trouble. “Oh, nothing much,” replied Mr. Keeler, "only there is a big strike at the mine,” and still suppressing his ex- ultation, Will commenced to wind his watch, while he took notes on the re- sult of the good news to his wife. “There, Will Keeler, I just knew how it would be. You are the most unlucky man I ever knew. Here the mine was just commencing to look good, and now .you have one of those nasty strikes. You had better get out of it as quick as you can,” and it took Will an hour to explain to her'the difference between a winning “strike”and one of the other kind where dissatisfied men are :in— volved. Will is a brother of Norwalk’s Bor- ough Warden E. O. Keeler, and is well remembered as a former familiar per- sonage hereabouts. ' ——-<+ The truant Knox boys were seen playing about in several places at South Norwalk, up to dark last evening and it is surmised they are purposly absent- ing themselves from home. The oldest brother is a smart boy but noted for not possessing all the angelic virtues and he is no doubt influencing his lit— tle brother to remain away with him. Mrs. Thomas S. Morison saw the little fellows at play yesterday, just in rear of the Nash store at South Norwalk. They were the smartest little sales- men of the DAILY GAZETTE that News— man Sutherland had in his corps.

HARTFORD, March 24.—The Senate did not reach a vote on either of the election bills yesterday. After a long debate, with some interesting incidents the matter went over till this morning at 11 o’clock. The Seymour bill, ac- cording to the Hartford Courant, devel- oped unexpected strength. It was gen- erally thought after the session that it had a good chance of passing. Of the two new bills introduced yes— terday, Mr. Foster’s plan for the sub— mission of the dispute to a committee consisting of ex-Chief Justice Park of Norwich, Judge Fenn of Winsted, and Judge Seymour of Litchfield, attracted the most attention. It was tabled for printing. Expectation of decisive action by the Senate and a conference of prominent republicans gathered a large number of well known public men at the capi- tol during the day. ———‘———.QO-———-———-———— ' LA GRIPPE EPIDEMIC. The Chicago Death Rate Record Positively Appalling, Over 1,500 Deaths in the Last Fort- night. CHICAGO, March 25.—~The grip epi- demic is unabated in this city and the mortality continues appalling. Up to midnight the deaths for two weeks ag- gregated 1,540, or thirty-five per thous- and, which is unprecedented in the his- tory of Chicago. Drug stores have been compelled to increase their force of clerks. Under- takers are crowded with work, and many funerals are taking place as early as 7 a. 1n. and as late as twilight. The hOSpitals of the Alexian- Brothers, the German Brothers, the Augustana Hos- pital and the Presbyterian, Hospital, which usually only take accident or paid patients, have opened their'doors to the victims of the grip and are crowded. ‘ . Eight physicians of the German hos— pital were taken down yesterday, and seventy-two nurses of the Illinois Train- ing School for niu'ses who have been ministering to the sick, have succumbed since Saturday, and some are in a crit- ical condition. 'At the \Vomen and Children’s Hospital, out of a staff of forty physicians, nurses and attend- ants, all but five are unfit for duty. The physicians are in hopes that the disease will wear, itself out, but all say that until there is a change of weather no great improvement can be expected. The World of Sport. At the annual cane rush at Trinity College the freshmen had the cane at the start and at once carried it into a corner of the field, where they fought desperately for ten minutes. The sophomores, who outnumbered them, finally won. At the end the freshmen had nine hands on the cane and the Sophomores fourteen. The poor greased pig won at the polo game at Sufiield by John White, was afterward carried in triumph to the ho- tel, and there, after changing owners three or four times by rattling, finally found an owner in George \Vallace at a cost of $1.10. »
