nue awaits their occupancy.
Mrs. W. A. Tolles. of Mott avenue.
left Norwalk this morning for Glens
Falls, N. Y., her former home. She
will be gone two weeks. This accounts
for the lonesome look on Editor Tolles’
face. '
Mr. “Lou” Smith and Miss Kitty
Moore are to be married this afternoon.
The ceremony will take place at the
residence of Selah Seaman of Spring
street, Rev. Mr. Pegg, of East Norwalk

Mr. E. E. Crowe, of the Derby
Transcript has been invited to take the

home or abroad. ,
The Minnetta took a gang of Hoyt J:
Beers’ masons to Chinaman’s Island
this morning. The gang will be en-
gaged for‘three days in putting a soap
stone finish on the larger of the dwell-
ings being ferected there.
Perhaps no window decoration in
town excelled that in Comstock Bros.’
this city. There were life size figures
of naval and army heroes, a goddess of
liberty and a drummer boy. All real-
istic. The whole adorned with nation-
al colors.
The three South Norwalk bands were
all engaged on Saturday. Heine’s
band at Roton Point; City band at
Dorlon’s and Glover’s band in the G.
A. R. parade. Each band made a
creditable appearance, and spiclcd to
the satisfaction of all.
Francis & Co’s. show windows always
present a pretty appearance. and this
is especmlly noticeable to-day. with a
grand piano and two rival prodigy
pianists, becomingly attired in sample
boy suits that are to be found in all
textures and prices at this popular
clothing emporium. ‘
Before Justice MOI-roll this morning
Gus. D’Allard, John Rourke, and Matt
Brown were each fined $2 and costs”
which they paid; James Keeler was also
fined a like sum but has not yet settled.
All the above for intoxication. Henry
Wicke was fined $5 and costs for as—
sault and breach of the peace, paid.
Memorial day was quite generally
observed in this city by our merchants
and others. Some found their fill of
pleasure at Dorlon’s. others at Rot-0n,
others went to New York on the City
of Albany, others went to the circus at
Bridgeport, others“took in”the Grand
Army parade, others went fishing and
yet others (only a few) remained at
home and rested. All seemed to have
enjoyed themselves to his or her bent.
There were comparatively few men in-
toxicated.
While Mr. William J. Foster for-
merly of Danbury was driving down
the hill near the hotel at Bell Island,
Saturday, his horse ran away, and on
reaching the foot of the hill the vehicle
was overturned. His wife and (laugh-
ter were in the carriage and all were
’ thrown out. Mr. Foster and his daugh-
ter escaped serious injury, but Mtg.
Foster who is in a delicate condition
was not so fortunate, and while her in-
juries were not fatal they are of a very
grave nature. The physician in atten-
dance, however, gives hOpes of her re-
covery.
On Saturday last Edward Seymour,"
the carpenter,had anarrow escape fronr
fatal injuries. He Was booked for a
sail on the yacht “Julia,” which was
tied up near Tolles’ wharf and in order
to reach which two barges had to be
crossed, the one nearest the Julia be-
ing a large lumber barge which had dis-
charged its freight. Seymour crossed
over the boats all right and stOOd on
the edge of the lumber barge, when he
unthinkingly stepped backward and
was precipitated through the open
hatchway'. " He struck squarely on his
back in the bottom of the boat and was
picked up unconscious and taken to the
McCauley hotel on Water street. Dr. _
Clark was summoned 'but found no
bones'broken. He prescribed for the
unfortunate man and this morning he
was able to sit up in bed, but could not
leave his room. That the. fall was not
the cause of more serious 1n].ul‘y to him
is a surprise to those who jw1tnesscd it.

The fog was so dense Saturdaymorn-
ling the steamer City of Albany did not
- g leave her dock till ’8 o’clock and when
811? getout into the sound it was so
:thick she did not reach New York till
noon. ', ,. i . . '
Last'Friday was the tenth anniver-
sary~of= the marriage of Editor James
’ Golden of the Sentinel. In the even-
ing. Mr. and Mrs“ Golden were sur-
prised by a. call at their home on Fair-
‘field avenue, of a large number of
friends who took possession of the
house‘and proceeded to make merry.
There was music. feasting, dancing, and
all that goes to make such occasions
' long and fondly remembered. ,Messrs.
Heine and Francis furnished string
music. It was a complete surprise for
the editor but he was equal to the oc-
casion, and welcomed his guests in a
mostcordialandmake-yourself—at-home
manner. The GAZETTE wishes many
happy returns of the day.
SPECIAL—CITY NEWS.
A full attendance at the regular meet-
ing of Douglas Fowler Post is expect-
ed this evening.
A carryall load of veterans went to
Five Mile River Sunday evening to at-
tend a memorial service in the Metho-
dist church. ‘ ' ‘
A man with a badly cut and swollen
face was sleeping off a “jag” south of
Quittner’s saloon about 6 o’clock Sat-
urday evening.
Saturday morning Samuel Water-
bury’s dog had a lively fight with a
racer snake which he finally succeeded
in killing; The reptile measured seven
feet and five inches in length.
Caleb Wood has a human skull which
was recently exhumed in East Norwalk
and which must have been that of a gi-
gantic man. Caleb wears a 7% hat, one
of the largest known sizes, but the skull
would, have required about a 9 size.
Mr. Wood is a large man, fully 6 feet
tall, and the bone of one of his lower
limbs from the knee to the ankle is 18
inches long; but the corresponding
bone of the skeleton is 24 inches in
length, indicating a stature of 8 feet.
The skull, as shown by the position of
the sutures is that of a former Cauca—
sian. I
A. large delegation from Douglas
Fowler Post and the W. R. C., accom—
panied by Glover’s band, left G. A.
R. hall about 9 o’clock Saturday morn-
ing in three carryalls and one wagon-
ette, for Five Mile River, and on ar-
rival there a procession was formed and
marched thence to the cemetery. After
the regular Post services had been per;
formed, the graves of twenty-one de-
parted comrades were decorated. Ex-
Representative Hon. Charles Bell then.
delivered an eloquent address of ten
minutes’ duration, receiving a unani-
mous vote of thanks for the same from
all present. The return trip to the city
was then made, and after a substantial
dinner had been partaken of at the hall
the veterans formed in line and, pre-
ceded by the Band, marched up to the
Armory and joined the Buckingham
Post comrades in the general parade.
Adjutant F. A. Arnold and Quarter--
master Caleb Wood of Douglas Fow-
ler Post, visited five cemeteries in the
town of Darien and flagged and assist-
ed in decorating 108 soldiers’ graves.
They report that several of these sep-
ulchres, so far as known, had never be-
fore been decorated, one being that of
Capthra Hoyt of the 10th Conn. Infy.,
who ’was commander of the Company
of which Comrade Wood was a mem-
ber. Their duty was quite fatiguing
but was faithfully executed. In Noro-
ton River cemetery they made the in-
teresting discovery of the grave of a
man who died in 1778, aged 105 years.
On their return to South Norwalk at
3.30 p. m., they visited and decorated
the graves in the Pine Island and East
Norwalk cemeteries. C. V. A.
