A little before twelve last night the fire bell sounded an alarm from Har- bor avenue and the electric light en- gine screeched its steam whistle with still louder noise. The fire proved to be in James Dougherty’s tenement building on Harbor avenue, known as the “ long building.” . It was caused by burning soot falling down the chimney and setting fire to a fire-board in one of the rooms. The firemen were on hand with remarkable promptitude and had the “ injunction hose” all laid, but the flames were extinguished withafew pails of water after doing very slight damage. 1 Opera House.' .

Landlord E. J. Frye of the above charming hostelry, yesterday gave a walk friends, supplemented by invita- tiOns to the hungry local. press. The larged and improved by 2the Foster the hotel front has been cleared away, etc., so that no more delighting view can be had anywhere along the shore stretches its entire eastern front: A new and capacious dining room, with two private “tea rooms,” connecting, are among its attractive features. The house has hot and cold water, bath and all modern conveniences and the fur— niture and furnishings areVall new and every part of the house scrupulously clean. The beds are newand all fitted with the most approVed . patterns of springs and topped with soft mattresses. Landlord Frye’ s greatest good for- tune, as well as the good fortune of his guests, is the fact that he has been able to seciue the services of an unrivaled “Chef,” who for seven years past has been cook at one of the large caravan- saries at Saratoga. If his dinner yes- terday was any criterion by which to judge, we can get Editor Ellendorf’s affidavit that there Is no cook in this section of the state who can begin to match him. Yesterday’s menu was as follows: Bell Island Hotel, E. J. Frye, Pro- prietor, Complimentary Dinner, July 1. 1891. BILL or FARE. Clam chowder. Steamed clams. Boiled Salmon, with Cream Sauce: ' Baked Blue Fish, DavenpOrt Sauce. Prime of Roast Beef, Brown Sauce. Leg of Mutton, Parsley Sauce. Pigeon Pot-Pie. Escalloped Oysters. Clam Patties. Mashed Potatoes. Green Peas. ' Lobster Salad. Cherry Pie. Lemon Meringue Pie. _ DelmOnico Pudc mg. Ice Creem. Nuts. Tea and Coffee. Every article on the bill of fare in Corn. Custard Pie. Fruits. detail, was perfectly cooked and served. The chef’s brown bread particularly, was the most delicious, all said who sampled it, that they had ever eaten. Foster Bros. have dug a well down deep into the rocky sub-surface of the island and struck a vein of cold, pure “soft water, clear as crystal and this was a delight to every palate, especially to guests from South Norwalk, as a1 confessed themselves strangers to such a delicious beverage as this. Ellendorf really created intense anxiety at the way he appeased his ravenous appetite for this clear, cold water. He said it was a memory and an astonishment to his stomach that he should not forget while life lasted. At the conclusion of the dinner which it is needless to add wasfigreatly enjoyed by all present, Editor Ellendorf, as is the best after dinner speeches we have. heard in many a day. He thanked the Foster Bros. for building the place, the Landlord for getting up. the superb dinner and most and best of all for in- viting the hungry horde of editors and reporters and for once in their lives setting before them more good food than they could possibly eat. _He spoke eloquently of the beauty of Norwalk as a whole and South Norwalk in par- ticular—“her fair ' women and brave of our harbor and especially of Bell Is- land, He had never seen anythinglike banks of the historic Rhine. His rVe- marks were apt, witty and exceedingly entertainingup to the point when he began to tell of his having sailed about with Christopher Columbo four hun- powers of persuasion in trying to in- duce him to make his first landing on this continent at Bell Island instead of at Santo. Domingo. Then his friends saw his mind wandered and they shut him off with _uproarious applause. But lightful afternoon to all it was, at the Bell Island HOuse. 90. Fire at Weston. _ At 10 o’clock yesterday morning the barn of Mrs. Adell Hull was discovered to be on fire, and with its contents, in- cluding several tons of hay, was en- tirely destroyed. The neighbors who responded and assisted at the fire had a hard fight to save the buildings of Mr. Coggswell. At the time of the fire Mrs. Hull- was in ‘Norwalk, and the cause of the fire is unknown, but in- cendiarism ‘is suspected. As Mrs. Hull carried no insurance the barn and contents are a total loss. complimentary shore dinner to a com”? pany of New York, Danbury and Nora‘: house has been rebullt and greatly en- .

The effort to 1mprove Riverside ave- mm was Interrupted by a contest with Mr. VJOhn GreenwOod as to. where the highway line ran past his property. i This has now all been adjusted to the satisfaction of Mr. Greenwood and to the borough authorities. Individuals made up a purse of $100 and paid Mr. Greenwood and he executed a deed conveying some five feet along the en- ' tire east line of his lots fronting the entrance to the avenue from Belden avenue and also -conveying 18 feet at the turn in the road at the: end of his first lot, which will greatly enhance. the improvement in. the roadway and also the good appearance of Mr. Green- The work on the entire length of the avenue will now be pushed to an early completion and thus not only an impOrtant and much needed artery into our town from the country, be put in a passable condition, but a' gravel walk and romantic drive may be secured from the village up to that beautiful and new garden of the dead, Riverside cemetery. »-- eon - ~ ~— I‘ F. & B. 9! Our stietly prohibition friends Fin- ney & Benedict were greatly startled and indeed shocked, Tuesday evening, on getting a mandatory command from Capt.

They sent back word with spir- ited indignation that theirs was no such kind of a grocery store and the propel- ler' folks could roll it all off the dock for all they cared. They had ordered no whiskey and would have none of» it about their place and besides they wouldn’t have it suspected that they kept the article. A closer inspection of the barrel heads disclosed the terri— ble mistake the N. Y. shipping clerk had made. Hehad read the address ' “F. &B. ”upside down.

There is no clue to the per- petrators. _ _., 04 Treasurer Henry will Pav the Bills. ”HARTFORD July 9 .——Yesterday all the appropriations made by the General Assembly of 1889 expired, and the pres- ' ent Legislature has not passed any ap- propriation bills. There is plenty of ‘money' In the treasury, but no way to get it out without appropriations. The Comptroller who draws the orders on the Treasurer, refuses to pay the hold- over officials. It is announced that Treasurer E. Stevens Henry proposes to pay the sal- aries of State officials and such other bills “ as he deemsproper ” without the usual order Of the Comptroller. The Comptroller is to be ignored altogeth- er. The Treasurer has taken able legal counsel. and it' 1s said that he will not consider the orders of the Comptroller as of any binding force. Demands for saIaries will be paid and if there are- any just claims for paying which, the Treasurer will nOt use State money, the funds will be advanced by some one whose name is not disclosed, but who ' is supposed to be the acting Governor. CO A Mysterious Accident. an MILFORD, July 2. —Heber Trib- loe, a‘ well-t o-do farmer living a little out of the village met with a most mys- terious accident yesterday afternoon. He was drawing a long timber or pole in the field when he suddenly fell 1n- 'fsensible on the ground. In that con- dition he was found by a passer-by soon after and was carried to his home. Dr. King was summoned and discov- ered a small hole In the back of Mr. Tribloe’ s head, the hole appearing to penetrate the skull. Mr. Tribloe lies prostrate and cannot move his head. He can talk, but he cannOt tell how the hole was made, as he neither heard nor saw anything that was liable to harm him before he fell. All he knews is that he suddenly fell ' and lOst his senses. Some think that , he may have been shot. It 13 more likely that he stumbled and fell on‘ a rock or ' a sharp stick.
