Collision on West Avenue.
Last evening, about 7:30 o’clock, as
Bob Weston, a driver for Silas W.
Gregory, was coming from the South
Norwalk depot with a lady passenger,
and when between Wm. Podmbre’s and
the Baptist church, he was run into by
a team rapidly driven by young Web—
ster Belden. A horse car was going
down at the same time and the two car-
riages and car were jammed together.
The shock of the collision threw young
Belden and a lady companion out into
the street, while Weston and his pas»
senger met the same fate. I Weston’s
carriage was somewhat damaged and
Belden was comparatively uninjured.
The accident was caused by Belden be-
ing on the wrong side of the street.

East Norwall< Parade."
The East Norwalk fire parade last
evening, wasa brilliant-affair. The line
of march as published in the GAZETTE,
was marched over, and all along the
line the residences were finely illumi-
nated with Chinese lanterns, etc, and
decked with "bunting.
A crowd fringed all of the streets,
and fireworks and burning tar barrels
lit up the heavens, and made the whole
scene a grand one. ‘The Mayflowers
looked their prettiest, the fire police
did fine marching,f the Volunteers
never made. a handsomer appearance.
Music was furnished by Dwyer’s City
band and the East Norwalk drum corps.
The march ended at the Volunteers
new headquarters, where a fine colla-
tion had been provided. and which was
heartily disposed of. _ The affair was In
commemoration of the Volunteers first
occupation of their new home, and w111
be a memorable one in the annals of
the company. It was a booming and
glorious success and reflects much cred-
it on those who managed it.
"Honor to Whom Honor. etc.”
A Silver Mine correspondent assures
us that justice was never done one of
the citizens of that pretty and romantic
suburb of Norwalk, in the matter of
the capture of Mr. John H. Ferris’
stolen horse. Edson M. Raymond, our
correspondent states, was the man who
left his work in the field on being
hailed by Messrs. Ferris and Solmans
and ran after the thief, who had jumped
from the stolen wagon and was streak-
1ng it across lots. That Mr. Raymond
was the fastest runner and soon over-
took the thief, seized him and brought
him back to the road in triumph, and
delivered him over to Mr. Ferris, the
owner of the Stolen team. _
Our correspondent complains that 1n
all the newspaper mention of the cap-
ture of the thief not one word of credit
has ever been given Mr. R., who was
the actual captor. So here goes honor
to whom the honor is due, by the
' “hustling” DAILY GAZETTE.

FIRST TRWEPT. 15.
Over the New Boats Between Brook—
Iyn and Boston, via Wilson
Point. - ..
To Start Slmultaneously.
The Bridgeport News this morning,
gives the substance of a long interview
with 001. Stevenson, anent the new
Brooklyn and Boston route, via Oyster
Bay and Wilson Point, of which so
much has recently been written and
said and printed in the newspapers.
Says the Colonel, on Sept. 15th, there
will leave Brooklyn and Boston simul-
taneously, early in the evening, two of
the handsomest trains that eVer pulled
out of a station. He said :
“Everything has'been arranged for
the running of ’ trains over the new
route. We‘ruu over the Long Island,
New England Terminal, Housatonic
and New England railroads. Daily
express trains will leave both cities at
hours which we know will be conven-
ient to the traveling public. There
will be a vestibule express each way,
something that no other road entering
Boston will have. These trains will be
fitted up in a costly manner with all
conveniences for travelers. There will
be no changes between Brooklyn and
Boston on the expresses. A person can
take a seat in a car in Brooklyn hr Bos-
ton and need not move until he reaches
his journey’s end.” ‘ -
“Let me say a word about the night
trains,” continued the Housatonic’s
vice-president and, manager, “There
will be two trains, one each way.
These will be fitted up with Pullman
sleepers. Travelers can go to bed in
Boston and awake in Brooklyn. The
cars will be at their disposal up t09
o’clock, and they will not be hustled
out at 5 o’clock as on other roads. It
will be vice versa with Brooklyn peo-
ple. On this train business men can
spend aday in either city and spend
the night on the train. We intend to
give the best possible service and have
the most sanguine hopes that it will be
appreciated.”
Here Col. Stevenson paused for a
few moments. When he continued it
was in this wise : “Now I will tell you
of a new project which you can make
public for the first time. We intend to
run expresses from this city to Manhat-
tan Beach and other shore resorts
around New York, next summer.
These trains will be through ones.
People can leave our stations in the
morning and need not change cars un-
til they reach their destination. The
people going to Manhattan Beach can
go direct to the hotels. Now that will
be a great improvement upon the pres-
ent means of reaching there. We will
run excursions and believe the people ~
will appreciate them and patronize
them liberally, as they can go all the
way in our cars, and remain a day,
week or month as they wish.”
Through trains from the south are
also to run over this route and no more
time will be. required in crossing the-
sound than it now takes the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad ears to run via the
steamer Maryland to Harlem River.
_ Silver Mine.
Mr. Hem-y Guthrie writes us to say
that the mill owners along Silver Mine
streams, received more. direct benefit
from the heavy shower of a week ago:
than from all the leakage from, the
Grupe dam, in all summer, great as
that has been. That is because, that
during the severe drought, most of the
the ground, and that for five weeks
prior to the rain, Mr. Daniels was not
able to start up his mill. '
never saw all the springs-streams run-
ning to his pond, soutterly dried up as
the past season. But the recent rains
have. ended all difficulty.

Obituary.
Mr. Orville Doty died at his home,
No. 2 ngh street, South Norwalk, last
night, aged 72 years. Mr. Doty was
born In Armenia, N. Y., but came with
his parents to this town when two years
of age. He learned the shoemaker’s
trade with his brother, the late J. R.
Doty, and later was engaged with him
in the butcher business on Main street,
Borough. Soon after his brother’s
death, some five years ago, he removed
to South Norwalk, where he has since

'Praise For Our Soldiers.
In his report to the war department
of the results of his. inspection of the
Connecticut National guard. recently
encamped, Lieutenant W. H. C. Bowen
praises the performance of the troops
generally, and eSpecially calls atten-
tion to a special bicycle service organ-
ized bgracorps of the Fuel: regiment.
Arme
and with a revolver, a man mounted on
a bicycle, according to .Lieutenant'
Bowen, can travel in many places
where it would be impossible to take a
horse, and can beat the flag in sending
messages. . .
In his opinion. the bicycle servme
will be advisable for messengers, patrol
and advance guards, and he suggests
to the war department the feasibility
of extended experiments in that line.
The colored troops are specially com-
mended as perfect soldiers and marvel-
ous scouts. '

“Casper's” Babies.
’~ “Baby” Mattie Grew and Little
Flossie O’Brien, those little star child
actresses, who have made such a hit
everywhere they have appeared, are
still'retained by Mr. Ellis, and Will
present their compliments to our. thea-
tre goers on Monday next, when Mr.
.Ellis will again be seen in “Casper the
Yodler.” hey are a precocious pan
and in acting, older actresses mlglht
take pattern from them. Mr. El s’
company is composed of many of last
year’s favorites, who when called to
rehearsal a few weeks ago, called for
their parts, not so the little ones who
not only remembered every line and
bit of business of their own, . but
prompted many of their older associates.
Mr. Ellis has a prize in these clever
little artists.
