Pictures of the South Norwalk Ath- letic club will appear in the Bridgeport Herald, on Sunday next. The Norwalk and South Norwalk Electric Light Co. will put on their are lights in this city, this evening. a a % Ben. Allen, the hat finisher, is out af- ter a week’s wrestle with la grippe.

Mr. “Bert” Woodward’s yacht, the Quaker City, has been thoroughly over- hauled, her mast scraped and her sails will be bent at an early date. The Minnie Rowan, Capt. C. C. St. John, sailed last night from Wilson Point for Baltimore. No finer craft ever came into this harbor. ac- —:+ A number of Norwalk and South Norwalk sports will attend a meeting between Billy Murray. of New York, and Joe Classey, of Manchester, this evening. .‘I. n Genial and jolly J erryfiDonovan, who has been nursing the idea that he was sick with la grippe, has come out as red and radiant as a boiled lobster with the measles. —:<- -:e -:+ Several young men placed their over- coat-s in the keeping of “Uncle Levi” this morning, and are spending his con- tributions for their favors, in summer beverages. - e:- a % Marketman Judson has put in a cash drawer that rings a bell and does its own bookkeeping. There is but one other in town like it and that at the store of Francis & Co., the clothiers. A number of pine trees on the avenue are being felled, among others, those on D. E. Disbrow’s lawn. The change is pleasing to the eye. There are yet a number of others that might be “sacri— ficed” with like effect. a r.- -::« The propeller “Eagle” brought up an unusually large amount of freight, yesterday. A large quantity of sugar for Holmes & Keeler, and a car load of slate for E. K. Lockwood was not :1. I o the least of the cargo. ~ a ec- =e Shouted a finisher in Crofut & Knapp’s shop, this noon, as a brake on Conductor Williams’ car snapped in twain, “I’ll bet a keg that’ll be in the GAZETTE.” If he bet, he is a winner. The car was placed in the hospital on its arrival at Norwalk. Messrs. Charles Raymond, F. A. Smith and G. H. Bromfield of the Royal Arcanum, this city, attended a meeting of the Grand Council in New Haven, yesterday. They were also in attendance at a grand banquet given in the evening. 9(- provements were commenced just about the time the railroad company commenced putting up the fence that shuts the lower story of the building from view. Commodore Francis Burritt has pur- chased and will give as prizes at the coming oyster boat regatta, four ele- gant pennants, one for each of the four classes of boats. The regatta will take place off Dorlon Point on Memorial day. The Commodore is an enthusiast on yachting matters and his liberality always keeps pace with his enthusiasm. Railroad Square this morning was bedeeked with circulars announcing an auction. There is a city ordinance im- posing a fine of $10 for distributing circulars of any kind on the city streets. The party in interest evidently was aware of it, as the circulars were thrown from a train as it speeded its way through here at, it is alleged, an un- lawful rate. An officer informs your reporter that if the fellow had got off here he would have insisted on his going about and picking up every cir- cular. The fellow, however, didn’t risk his neck by getting off, and on someone. else devolves the duty of the picking up. i .v. .v. .3 Agent H. C. Bouton of the United States Express office, this city, had a narrow escape from serious injury, yes- terday. In company with his delivery clerk, Mr. Smelledge, he was trans- ferring a cabinet organ to the baggage- car of the 5:10 train on the Danbury road, and had got one end of the case on the car, when the train started up, toppling the case over and throwing Mr. Bouton from the car to the ground, witnesses were surprised that it did not fall on him. Louis Sheldon, who was also in the wagon, gave the case asharp cant delaying its fall for a second, to which fact Mr. Bouton no doubt owes his escape from other injuries than a wrenched leg. One of the hind wheels of the delivery wagon was wrecked. -:-:~ -:+ it Last night Officer Gladstone went to New Canaan in search of a young man wanted in this city for theft. He did not find him there, but located him at an oyster supper in \Vest Norwalk and arrested him and gave him a carriage ride to this city, returnng by way of New Canaan. The articles were stolen from his parents and were a diamond ring valued at $80, an amethyst ring and $317 in money, all of which was re- covered with the exception of $7 of the money. The young man was after- wards released the parents not caring to prefer charges against him. \Ve with- hold names, as all interested are much respected and already keenly feel the disgrace of the young man’s failure to resist the temptation. While on the way home, and near Mead’s Corners, in New Canaan, their carriage broke down, delaying them about an hour, and it was one o’clock this morning before they reached this city. _ _._4+ SPECIAL CITY .NE IVS. business of running a peddling wagon loaded with Yankee notions. A considerable percentage of the res- idents on Woodward avenue are afflict— ed with la grippe and measles. The Salvation Army will again on- gage the forces of Beelzebub in mortal combat this evening. The W. R. C. meet to-night and treat an initiate to a canter on the lodge goat. The running gear of one of the horse cars gave way yesterday near John Mc Quahe’s blacksmith shop, and the car was delayed some time for repairs. Ad. Durant, the well-known sales- man with Bennett & Husted, is in luck. He started to-day for Schenectady, N. Y., in reSponse to a message, where a fortune left by a deceased uncle is awaiting him. C. V. A. —-——ooo———-———— EAST NORWALK. Miss Ada Boerum is visiting friends in New York to-day. The selectmen will act wisely in plac- ing a railing on the north side of the Fort Point road, after the widening is finished. The suggestion may perhaps be a little previous as ’tis said that Mr. Groeschner proposes placing a railing along the line himself. ' Alvin Sammons, while fishing frOm a boat near the Washington street bridge, rescued Fred Jones from a damp death, yesterday afternoon. This is, we believe, Fred’s twenty- eighth involuntary tumble into the creek since his birth some ten years ago; notwithstanding this, he, has not yet learned how to swim. Arthur Day, a youngster living here, yesterday succeeded in upsetting a cat-boat which he was trying to sail. He clambered out of the water on to the boat and was helped ashore. Russell Murray, a witness of the acci- dent, and some years older than Day, laughed at what he called Day’s ignor- ance of sailing a boat, and when the craft was rightcd boarded it and set sail, and after proceeding about 100 feet did exactly what Day had done— upset the boat. He is as mum as an oyster about the affair this’morning. the case following so closely, that eye-- Wilbur Ayres will engage in the - will ease of the late Captain James Mott of this place. Mrs. Mott is the contestant and two sons by a former wife of Mr. Mott, the defendants. We understand that a leading question is as to the place of residence of Mr. Mott, who married for his second wife Mrs. Hannah Howell in this town, in 1889, since which time and up to the time of his death in February last he had re- sided here. He owned a fine residence and considerable property in this place as well as on Long Island. ———--—~——a¢o—~- BASE BALL NEWS. Association Games.
