Messrs. Hoyt & Beers’ new yacht

deuce.
Shortly after 9 o’clock this morning,
switch engine No. 194 of the Consoli-
dated road drew out a- train of seven
cars from the freight depot. In cross-
ing a switch, a shOrt distance below

As James H. Beers, the sto ne mason,
was driving on to the Washington street
bridge, this morning, the wagon—shaft
broke and erBeers was precipitated
headlong on the planking of the bridge.
The horse stopped but not before he
gave his driver a vicious kick on the
head, causing however only a slight
scalp wound. Mr. Beers? other injuries
were about the hands and legs, and
consistedgof a lively scratching of cuti-
cle. NO bones broken. -'
Inc-onvenience has arisen thus soon
after the discharge of the water boys
on the New Haven railroad. On the
3.02 train from New York on‘Saturday,
the glass tumblers were broken by the
carelessness of some one before reach-
ing Port Chester, leaving nothing to
drink from except a hand or hat. Prob-
ably tin cups will be substituted for
glass. '
-' WilliamvT. Raymond of the firm of
Raymond-,-Bros., in alighting from a
carriage in front of the fir:ri?s;stbre},
Saturday; morning, slipped and fell,
striking tennis hip on thb pavement.
He was assisted into the store whereait
was found he had escaped serious in-
jury. He feels mighty laine though,
and avers that he saw 4,000,000 stars
when he struck.
Much complaint has ,been made of
the: noise in the Hungarian headquar-
ters at Springt'vood,‘ which sometimes
partakes of thegnature-‘Of a free fight.
The police have made frequent visits
there but always found things compar-
atively quiet. Last night, however,
they were more successful and arrested
Josef Mallock, Joseph Use and Andrew
Bich‘eo, for breach of the peace. They
were given a hearing before Justice
Morrell, who fined them $1 and costs
each, which was paid by their friends.
Other arrests are likely to follow unless
disturbances in that section are abated.
Representatives of the three leading
nations of the world had a narrow es-
cape from drowning near Smith’s Is-
land yesterday. Against the advice Of
Jones, the good looking bridge-tender,
they—Jose Lambert, “: (French) Frtaz
Haydl, (German) and Thos. Pepper,
(Ireland) started from the Washington
street bridge in a 16 foot boat carrying
sail enough for a three masted schooner.
Just opposite the island, the Dutch-
man ported helm, or something else,
and there was a lively “dip” to Ameri-
can colors On the island near by.
Happily all succeed in gaining shore,
and about 9 o’clock last evening got
home to tell their tale of woe. A por-
tion of their boat lies at the wharf this
morning, and the fishes in the sea
about Smith’s Island are no doubt
banqueting on German, Irish and
French specialties.
D. Banks Morehouse, a well-known
resident, died very suddenly at the Me-
Cauley house on Water street, last
night, of Bright’s disease and apoplexy.
He had complained for several days
of not feeling well, but kept around.
Yesterday afternoon he felt very. poor-
ly and was assisted to his room and put
to bed. In the evening as two of the
boarders were coming down stairs they
found Morehouse impeded their way
as he lay on the stairs. They picked
him up supposing that he was in a faint
but were horrified on gaining the land-
ing to find that they were carrying a
corpse. This morning Deputy Coroner
Burke viewed the remains, giving aver-
dict in accordance with the above, after
which they were placed in charge of
Undertaker Raymond. Deceased, was
we believe, a native of Westport, from
which place, years ago he removed to
Norwalk and bought out the livery
business of the late James Grifi'eth
near the horse railway stables. After-
ward he sold out and became land-
lord of the Connecticutj‘hotel, which
business he also sold out and purchased
the good will of the Norwalk hotel and
became its landlord. Owing to family
troubles he again sold out, and for a
time lived in New York, but later came
back to Norwalk and worked at his
trade shoe-making, in -‘ Lounsbury,
Mathewson &. Co’s. ’From there he
went to Bridgeport, where he was em-
ployed in a like capacity in a shoe
manufactory. With family all broken
up and scattered, he drifted back to
this city where he has lived for some
months, doing odd jobs, his last em-
ployment being at a small restaurant
on Water street. Banks was of quick
temper but of, a1 free-hearted disposi-
tion, and had but few enemies. He-had
experienced the ups and downs of
life, and 'on Friday last he said to the
writer, “I am about discouraged and
don’t care how soon I die.” He had
three weeks ago for funds, and a fail-
ure to hear from her seemed to make
him despondent. He was about 65 years
of age.

“Most carefully selected," just expresses it. The
reason our Parasol trade is so large is wholly a
result of our care in selecting only the choicest

exblusively control for the Norwalk market. ‘
