Charles C. Stevens, a well-known
mason and builder, died at his home on
the Connecticut turnpike, near Taylor
avenue, yesterday afternoon. Mr.
Stevens had been in poor health fora
year or mo1 e, and in March last sold
out his business to A. Bach, since which
time he has been confined to the house.
The cause of his death was consump-
tion. He was born in East Norwalk.
He had carried on the business of stone
mason for the past thirty-five years and
at times has had as many as fifty cellars
in process of building. He also has had
large railroad contracts for stone-work
in this state and Massachusetts. He
also has done much large work in this
town, among the last of his jobs being
the Water street bridge in this city.
He was at one time considered quite
wealthy but met with reverses, not the
least of which was a railroad contract
in Massachusetts which was in the
courts for several years. He wasaman
of commanding presence, genial, and
large-hearted to almost a fault. He
leaves a wife but no children. The
funeral will be attended from his late
home, Sunday afternoon, at 2:30. Old
Well lodge, -F. and A. M., of which he
was a member, will attend in a body.
The interment will be in the cemetery
at Five-Mile River.

several warnings to horse owners respect-
ing driving in the vicinity of the steam
road roller on West avenue. It is a fair
presumption that even an ordinarily
well disposed animal is as much inclin-
ed to be fractious and climb fences and
things in the presence of a steam roller
as would be the case were he required
to face an elephant.
Take, for example, a regular old set-
tler from the country—knock-kneed,
spavined, and asthmatic; one of those
equines with stubby heads, roman
noses and luxuriant fet-locks, that can
graze unconcernedly in a pasture ad-
joining a railroad track, with trains
dashing by every fifteen minutes, drive
him into Norwalk, and dollars to clump-
lings, at sight of a steam roller ‘thelfew
hairs distributed along his ancient and .
warped spinal column will stand 11p like .
quills and the driver will wish he had I SEN. CHARLES OLMSTEAD or office of the nut
taken some other route.
Just why the average horse should
act like a man with a fiery jag on at
such a time is more than the average
philosopher can tell. Perhaps
thinks the steam roller is a locomotive
off the track and as likely to run into
him as to go elsewhere. At all events
he will rear, and plunge and take on
dreadfully, although he may have been
proof up to that time against all .sorts
of objects that are popularly supposed
to excite apprehensions.
Talking about this featuie of‘ "man s
best friend,” the horse, with Contractor
Connor, that gentleman assured the
GAZETTE representative that for his life
he couldn’t refrain from wondering at
the obstinacy or folly of mankind gen-
erally. Many a time he has warned
people, women included, against trying
to compete with a steam roller asecond
time, after he had taken their horses by
the bridles and towed them past the
terrifying machine. But often his
warning was unheeded or forgotten
and a second attempt was made to drive
by the vicious looking machine and
frequently with disastrous results.
Hence the DAILY GAZEETE solemnly
repeats its warning to drivers generally
to keep away from that part of West
avenue where the steam" roller is at
work.
