Samuel H. Barnes, widely known as
“Hub” Barnes, and an Old resident of
Chestnut Hill district, who died last
night, had been for nearly half acontu-
ry one of our most noted financiers and
money lenders in a small way and there
is no end of stories true and false, told
of his acumen and sharpness in extort-
ing large interest and driving sharp
bargains. Nevertheless, with all his
eagerness to grasp for money, he had
many sterling qualities, and good
hearted streaks in his nature.
One of our carriage dealers tells us
of a case of a South Norwalk man who
expressed a desire to purchase a car-
riage of him, but remarked it would
never do, as his South Norwalk friends
would never forgive him for getting it
at the Borough. There may be some,
but not many, we'fain would believe,
who have any such narrow views. “To
know that no such feeling exists here
towards South Norwalk merchants. In
fact our borough has just had its supply
wagon built at South Nor-walk, when
we have no less than three carriage
makers here who could and would have
been glad to have filled that order.

. Grace Church Reception.
There has seldom been a larger or,
more pleasing gathering of earnest
church workers and people, than met
at the capacious residence of Mr. Rob-
ert Van Buren last evening on invita-
tion, to extend a reception and greet-
ing to Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Watkins of
the new Grace church. From 8 to 10,
the parlors, library, wide halls and
nooks all about the Van Bui'en mansion,
were crowded with some two hundred
of Norwalk’s most agreeable people,
all apparently eager and enthusiastic,
in extending their cordial and hearty
greetings to the young Rector and his
amiable and accomplished wife.
Refreshments, in the way of ices,
russes, cakes, salads, sandwiches and
cofi’ee, were bountifully served, and
two hours of more delightful seeial
chit-chat have rarely been spent in this
vicinity. Pastor and people seem to
be already cemented by-abond of more
than ordinary esteem and affection.
The earnest sincerity of last night’s
Reception must have been especially
gratifying to the Rector and his good
lady, while to Mr. and Mrs. Van Buren
are due the thanks of all those present
for the quiet and modest thoroughness
with which it was inaugurated and all
its details so agreeably carried out.
The Dedication service Monday eve-
ning at the church will be an occasion
of especial interest to the people of this
new church organization and to the
public. Bishop Williams is to be pres-
ent and preach a sermon and the aged
father of the Rector, an eminent divine
in the Church, is also expected to par-
ticipate in the proceedings. The sit-
tings of pew-holders will be reserved
up to a quarter past seven, on that eve-
ning, after which the ushers are in-
structed to seat the public wherever
there may be a vacant pew. It is not
necdful that we should state that those
pew-holders who may desire to occupy
their own sittings should be in them
before a quarter past seven.
WHAT MISS SPINSTER SAYS:
That Mr. 'Fred Betts not to be out-
doneby his brother has an attack of
the gout.
That Mr. V anderhoef’s mound in
frontgof his mansion is filled with a
thermand hyacinths of varied colors in
full lh’loom, and is well worth going
milesfto see and inhale their fragrance.
That the reception to Grace church
parislrat the beautiful home of Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Van Buren to wel-
comeijthe rector, was largely attended
andifiiighly enjoyed by all.
That'footwear is probably the most
particular thing about our whole make-
up. It is a well known fact that the
pedalgmembers are more neglected and
abusejl than any other part of the
anatomy. If a shoe goes on easy and
looks well the wearers give themselves
little trouble as to whether the toes are
pinched or the foot allowed to wobble
within the shoe. If more care were ex-
ercised in fitting the feet covering, the
awkward shuffling walk we notice
among our girls as they promenade the
avenue would disappear. Common
sensej shoes with broad soles, low flat
heels, and uppers which fit well around
the ankles, are the proper things to
wear:
That often the best dressed people
seen eating in public are ignorant of
the commonest table manners. Ought
it to be regarded as one of the signifi—
cant signs of the times?

THE VIT’ALIAN shin—TON.
Secretary Camp’s“ S_uggestion Af—
fords a Ray of Hope.
There seems to be no change worth
mentioning in the local Italian situa-
tion this morning, although borough
officials have held repeated conferences
upon the subject.
In conversation yesterday afternoon
with Ex—Water Commissioner Moody
Mr. Alfred H. Camp, Secretary of the
board of “Tater Commissioners, sug-
gested what seems to be an avenue of
relief, in view of the failure of nego-
tiations in other directions. In effect
this suggestion was that Mr. Queen as-
sign his claim against Mr. Rider to the
\VaflwwOininissioners. Thereupouthe
latter would take the pay roll, pay off
the Italian laborers and sue Mr. Rider
for a settlement. The wide difference
between Mr. Queen’s claim and Mr.
Riders admissions would appear to in-
dicate that there is no hope of a com-
promise, or adjustment, of this differ-
once. The laborers have performed
the work for which they were engaged
and should be paid. Meantime they
have swarmed upon Norwalk with the
evident intention of staying here, and
of becoming temporarily a charge upon
the town until their wages are paid.
SO long as they remain peaceable, and
do nothing contrary to law, there is no
particular objection to this, but inas,
much as there’s no telling how long
this state Of things may continue it
may be necessary, in pure self-defense,
for the borough officials to adopt Sec-
retary Camp’s suggestion, or something
similar. '

rhe Swindler Who lmpersonated
John Spencer of Norwalk.
He Had Numerous Aliases and Sue—-
ceedecl in Beating Tiffany 8:. Co.
As Well As Others.
Monday’s DAILY GAZETTE contained
an interesting story regarding the
swindling operations of a well poised
scoundrel among the Maiden Lane and
other New York jewelers, and his un—
successful attempts to pass himself Off
as “ John Spencer, of Norwalk.” His
story, which was added to on Tuesday,
was published exclusively in the GA-
ZETTE, and attracted wide-spread at-
tention coming, as it did, so soon af-
ter the Jackson robbery. To-day’s New
York papers announce the capture of
the swindler, which will be very grati-
fying news to Mr. Spencer.
It seems that New York jewelers have
been complaining of a man who has
called upon them, securing goods upon
memorandum and making no returns.
Among the firms from whom he got a
bill of goods was Tiffany 8c 00., where
he called on Feb. 24: and got two gold
watches valued at $150, saying he was
H. B. Brush, Of Stamford, Conn. Tif~
fany & Co. never saw him again until
notified yesterday by Detective Oates,
of the Old Slip Station, that they had
him caged there. Besides Tiffany &.
Co. it is alleged that he got goods from
Sidney T. White, No. 42 John street,
where he said he was \Villiam R. Clark,
of Wilmington, Del. Here he obtained
a diamond, diamond and sapphire ring
and a pair of diamond and pearl ear—
rings, worth in all $5350.
He told Kelly 8: Untermeyer, of No.
192 Broadway, where he got three
watches, that he was John Spencer and
was from Norwalk, Conn. Smith &
Knapp, of 190 Broadway, gave the
swindler three gold watches, and he
pretended he was J. M. Frear, of Bing-
hamton, N. Y. To William Fishel, of
No. 1'76 Broadway, he pretended to be
J. C. Denmore, of Trenton, N. J. He
got gold watch chains worth $120. He
got two diamond rings from Boden 4X:
00. He was arraigned at the Tombs
yesterday and remanded so as to give
the detectives time to ascertain the ex-
tent of his swindling. He said his name
was "William Martin and that he came
from Cleveland, Ohio. He had put up
at Earle’s Hotel.

Killed by a Thunderbolt.
NORWICH, Conn, April 24.—A sable
cloud invaded the western sky at 5:30
o’clock yesterday afternoon, and a sin~
gle thunderbolt, shaped and flashing
like a cimeter, fell straight to the earth
at East Great Plain, in the suburbs of
the city. It went'down the cuimney of
a new house in that village, in whose
cellar carpenters were working, and
speared Samuel Purvis, killing him in—
stantly. About him were several other
men, but it picked him out in the group
and the rest were not hurt. The crash
of thunder that followed was deafening.
Mr. Purvis’s clothes and body were
burned. There was no other light-
ning flash. The sky was clear at the
time, and the cloud moved around to
the southeast. Mr. Purvis lived on
Laurel Hill, and was to be married next
week. '

THE PRESIDENT’S PARTY.
The Floral Display in Pasadena. the Fin-
est of the Trip. ’
SAN DIEGO, Cal., April 21.— Californi' ’¢
welcome to the president has certairili;
been one of flowers and enthusiasm. From
the time he was welcomed at the horde]
by the governor every minute has beer
full of pleasure and Entertainment. 11
seems to be on the in’erease as he gets,
nearer San Francisco. Los Angeles over-
whelmed him with flowers, fruit‘and kind-
ness, and he left there with real regret.
This city repeated the hearty receptior
he got at Los Angeles. A committee,
headed by General Murray; escorted the
presidential party hora and after the pro
cession had been rev‘r’iewed took them t(
the big hotel for lunch. San Diego x5
one mass of flowers and bunting, and e
people were enthusiasti and cordial. The-
stay here was one of Only three hours, bui
the amount of enthusiasm crowded into
that time by the people plainly made 2
very happy impression on the president
and his party. The scene at the depot as
the train left for Pasadena was of the
liveliest kind.
The market is dull in uncalled-for
letters. All that P. M. Hubbell can do
in that direction is one for Miss F. H.
Dering.
