Bayles a graduate and scientific Optician will locate permanently in H. B. Hoyt’s jewelry store about the 5th of May. Mr. Bayles was formerly with Mr. Hoyt when he was on Railroad Square, and his many friends will be glad to learn of his return here, The police yesterday broke up the “Snoozer” club, which has had its headquarters on and about the steam- boat wharf for the past several weeks. It would surprise some of our citizens to learn the names of some of the mem- bers of the club, a number of whom make their bed on the lumber there- abouts. The club should have been broken up long ago. A few of our sick ones: D. Floyd Hunt has an attack of la grippe; Ella Kern who hasbeen sick for some weeks with typhoid fever is slightly improved; Edward Scudder has a severe attack of illness; Amelia Seymour’s condition is considerably improved, although she is . yet confined to her bed; Mrs. C. A. Knight is improving Slowly from pain- ful injuries; Dr. M. B. Pardee is out again to theldelight of his many friends. He tired, perhaps, of taking his own medicine. Anthony (Butch) Hartwick was ar- rested at 5 O’clock. Saturday afternoon, and at 6:20 was on his wayto the Bridge- port jail. He was arrested for drunken- ness and breach of the peace, and J us- tice Morrell sentenced him to 30 days in jail and imposed a fine of $5 and costs. “Butch” hasbeen arrested times without number, but his poor old mother has always settled his fine or paid the bonds he has jumped. It is, we believe, his first experience in jail, and it is to be hOpcd that it will have a salutary effect, on him. The old saw “there is nothing like leather,” seems to have been knocked out by the new one, that there is noth- ing like tan (color), for the red, white and blue, and other colors of kingdoms and empires are all in the shade, while tan of all shades from light to dark, rule the roost. Ladies wear .tan col- ored hair, hats, dresses, ribbons, gloves and shoes, in fact all visible articles of apparel; while the young and elderly dudes, of the male gender, wear hats, under and overcoats, gloves, socks and shoes of this same tan, and even tan side whiskers are in vogue with some of them. The latest thing out in tan is Druggist Baxter’s new awning, which takes the shine off from his neighbors’ obsolete colors, and they are expected to fall in line at an early day. * as -;e The South Norwalk Wheel club have taken formal possession of their new rooms in the Swartz & Corbett build- ing. They have one great hall 80 feet long by about 35 wide with a partition dividing off a cute little reeepti on room in the front of the building where the piano and reading tables will be, while in the larger room are the pool table and game tables. The room is fitted throughout with oiled Carolina pine, . and though not quite finished they have a very pleasant appearance. The main hall will serve splendidly for dancing, a feature which has served to make the Bridgeport club so successful, and which it is intended will often be in— dulged in here. There are no nicer rooms in this part of the state and the boys are to be congratulated on the success they have met with in building up the club. An entertainment will shortly be given in order to show up the beauties Qf their rooms to the pub- lic. SPECIAL CITY IVE IVS. Read the want column to-day. Jessie, the young daughter of Mr. Chas.

The regular monthly business meet— ing will be held tO-morrow evening, af- ter which there will be a rehearsal for the May entertainment. Mr. Conrad Utzinger’s crayon por- trait, on exhibition at DruggistBaxter’s, attracts considerable attention. The new groeery firm of Miller & Semple began business Saturday and met with very encouraging success. One of the operatives employed at the Norwalk Iron works, we hear, has invented a steam gauge for which he refused an offer of several thousand dollars. A north-bound street car jumped the track near the new Congregational church yesterday, and was delayed sev- eral minutes chiefly on account of the balky conduct of the team, which posi- tively declined to proceed until the car had been pulled back nearly to the railroad crossing. C. V. A. ____‘...,______ ROBERT RAY HAMILTON AGAIN. Thomas Cooper Says the Buried Body Could Not Be Identified. ST. LOUIS, May 4.——Thomas Cooper, 3. well known ‘Wyoming guide, has just re— turned from Jackson’s Hole, where Robert Ray Hamilton is said to have been drowned in September last. Cooper was present when the body was found and says there were anumber of suspicious circumstances attending the event calculated to confirm the belief, which many people possess, that Hamilton is still alive. He says the body was very much decomposed and recogni— tion was hardly possible. NVhen Dr. Green arrived he did not look at the body, and it was buried close to where it was found. Cooper says that although every man in the party had known Hamilton, not one could identify the body. The apparent indifference of Hamilton’s friends and the unceremonious manner in which the body was buried made an un- favorable impression upon the people liv- ing in the vicinity, and many of them be- lieve that a body from some medical college was shipped there and dressed in Hamil- ton’s clothes and dumped in the river with the circumstantial evidences carefully planned to make an. apparently reliable story of Hamilton’s death. The decompo- sition of the body found in the river was much beyond What it should have been with but six days’ submersion, the length of time that Hamilton was missing until the body was found. The body can easily be exhumed and taken east at any time should the friends of Hamilton desire to have a. final and conclusive identification. Mr. Brice’s Rumored Railroad Purchase. CLEVELAND, May 4.—A rumor is in cir- culation in railroad circles in this city to the effect that Colonel C. S. Brice has pur- chased the Cleveland, Loraine and Wheel- ing railway, which runs from this city to Bellaire, 0., and has connection there with the south. It is said that Brice has offered to take the controlling interest and will guarantee to the minority stockhold- ers a 5 per cent. annual dividend. The Cleveland, Loraine and Wheeling railway is a. great coal feeder for Cleveland and the upper lakes. It is one of the best coal roads in the state and runs through a. rich country. It has some iron are trade at Loraine at the lake and is a. heavy feeder in freight and passengers to the big four at Grafton. DIED.
