it not for the inability of the Pullman
company to furnish the 'cars at an

Mr. Stevenson said it' was all non-
. sense to talk about running trains from;
New York to Boston by the new line.
The Housatonic system already has a
line to New York, the terminus being
at Pier 45, North river. Freight trains,
Mr. Stevenson predicted, would be
running via the Long Island and East-
ern State lines before the passenger
coaches were put into service.” '

A Suggestion to Congress.
Col. Edward Daniels, formerly colo-
nel first Wisconsin cavalry, has written
the following to Mrs. Logan:
“Greeting and welcome home. after
so ,worthily representing us“ abroad.
'The hearts of all soldiers beat proudly
and gladly at yOur return once more. ’
Now I want to suggest again what I
wrote you» a year ago. The only fittin '
thing is that the nation throug
Congress shall invite its veteran defend-
ers to see the capital once, free of cost,
before they die. This and this only, .
is worthy of the name of hospitality; =
that once every veteran who chooses,
shall have the opportunity to spend a
week in WashingtonwithOut a cent ne-
cessary expense. You alone of all men:
and women can effect this. It is worthy
outo take up
this matter and secure‘t '3 great boon
to the boys as well as the city.”

GAZETTE to Miss Etta Drucker, formers

port, which occurred at Seaside Park
bathing beach, is quite differently,
stated from yesterday’s published re-i"
port, by a Bridgeport lady who was vis-
iting friends here in Norwalk yesterday 5
and who chanced to be near Miss .
Drucker and saw the .entire transac-'I
~ tion. This lady states that the accident, '
was caused by a little colored boy
stealthily creeping up. behind her un-I
noticed, just as she was. preparing "toI_
dive into the water, and. giving her an
unexpected push ed the elevation from.
which she was going to jump. Instead
of making a proper dive, to "which She :
was accustomed, being an expert swim
mer, she lost herbalance and fell flatly
’ on the water and it was probably this
blow or concussion of her body falling ‘
full length and heavily on the surface.
of the water that caused her faint or
unconsciousness. Had not help been
at hand she, no doubt, would have
drowned. She isan‘ exceptionally at.
tractive young lady, and the daughter ..
of the late Constable Drucker, who was '
killed by Scheele at New Canaan. Her.
lover had no part in the accident as "re-
ported, according to _our informant’s
story. She is reported much better
this morning. I
