One Labor lnterest Absent.
There was one labor interest that was
Notably absent from the parade of yes-
terday and that is the “Gospel minis-
try.” Why they should have been
"omitted is not easily understood, for
there is no profession or trade that ex-
acts more hours or harder labor than
. does the christain ministry. That they
were not represented was due to the
fact that they were given no opportun-
ity. One at least, the Rev. F. E. Rob-
bins, pastor of the First Baptist church,
feels considerably slight-ed. He thinks,
at least, if the ministry were not invited,
he should have had a chance to march
in the blacksmith’s column, being an
old forger himself and proud of it.

A Window Smasher.
Last Thursday night Joseph O’Con-
nor had some difficulty with Michael
Fahan, who keeps the saloon at 24
Main street. O’Conner was very abusive '
to Mrs. Fahan,and Mike finally ejected
him from the saloon, and told him not'
to come in again. O’Connor left
threatening revenge. On. Saturday
night O’Connor became intoxicated
and Officer Adams saw him enter the
alleyway between DeKlyn’s bakery and
Hayes’ news depot. Suddenly the officer
saw him raise his arm and threw so me-
thing and heard the crash of glass.
Quickly glancing across the street he
saw the large glass in Fahan’s saloon
wrecked. The officer gave chase and
captured O’Connor and placed him in
the lockup. This morning he appeared
before Judge Austin, and admitted
throwing the stone, but claimed that
he did not throw it at the window.
Judge Austin thought otherwise, how-
ever, and gave him $17 and 60 days in
jail. ’

Yearly Holiday.
.Thousands of Artisans March to
Martial Music.
“A bigger day than the 4th of, July
and it’s ours too, l," remarked a certain
hatter this morning, and the skies at
the time, were not favorable to the re-
mark either. However, the assertion,
as far as it applies _to parades in this
town, was in a. great measure true. The
weatherwas lowéry but there was but
ions were formed with unusual prompt-
ness, and shortly after 9 o’clock the
parade was in motion. Hundreds, aye,
thousands of people fringed the walks
of the streets through which the pro-
cession was to pass. The line ofmarch,
as published, was in the main gone over,
and arriving at the armory, the differ-
ent organizations and companies pro-
ceeded to their fvarious headquarters,
and one of the best, if not the best pa-
rade ever held, in town was ended.

followed bythe N orwalk fire police,

The butchers also made a fine display
of their delivery and peddling wagons,
and it isin no wise out of place to say
that the four of Butcher Avison are, for
beauty, unexcelled in this state.
‘ There were other interesting features
in the procession, which escape the
memory of your reporter, but judging
by the crowd who were on the line of
the paradey there were but few in town
but that saw them, and so numerous
were they it would hardly seem possi-
ble, within the confines of these col-
umns, to enumerate them all.
After the parade had disbanded,
thousands hurried to the fair grounds,
to enjoy the myriadof pleasures offered
at the picnic given in celebration of the
day. ‘ _
- It is estimated that fully five thous-
and people were on the grounds to wit-
ness the athletic contest, which passed
off in a; satisfactory manner.

PARADE NOTES.
The hatters were in it; the butchers
were in it; the cigar makers were in it;
the iron molders were in it ; everybody
was in it.

deed there were any.
The Lord was with us after all.

mensity of the affair.
The horse cars were in it,and so were
the carryalls.
The cause was a good one.
The parade was a dandy.
A. H. Hoyt & Son were in it,too,with
their celebrated shoes.
The whole affair reflected great credit
' on the projectors.
The South N orwalk business men
appreciated it.

orated, as was also the Mahackemo.
The City of Albany had a fair comple-
ment of passengers.
The crowd went home to dinner and
-, then to the fair grounds
The number of good looking females
Was legion.
The Mayflowers have just cause to
feel proud as have also the Volunteers,
there were none finer. .
The Messrs. Raymond Bros. with
their engineer Deforest, commercial
agents and book-keepers.
The float of the Boston store attracted.
the attention of the ladies, particularly
by its elegance.
The people, rich, poor, all, recognize

land.
The “Eli” from Lawrence, Mass,
was at the picnic. He joined in the
festive dance and delighted onlookers

The, Richardson & Morgan Co.s dis-
play was something the I. M. U. could
point to with pride.
The» medalions of the I. U.s’ were all
around.
The cigars of the Cigarmakers’ Un-
ion took the smoke.
. The mud, well, there was none of it
in the afternoon, to speak of.
The best music was made by the
band from—but why repeat it? You
heard for yourself.
The whole affair was a success. The
procession was over a mile long. The
horse railway service was excellent.

Opera House-
Not for many years has the Opera
House been filled'with the best people
of Norwalk as it was last evening to
greet “Casper, the Yodler,” showing
that manager Adams’ effectual stoppage
of cat-calls, whistling and stamping,
that formerly proceeded from the gal-
lery, is having the desired effect on our
theatre-goers, and is inducing them to
again attend the plays at the Opera
House. Of Chas. T. Ellis, as the Yod-
ler, nothing further need be said than
that he captivates all who hear him,
while his support is first class. .. _
On Monday, September 14, Manager
Adams will present “True Irish Hearts.- ’
Senators in Session.
The Connecticut senate, after a recess
of a couple of months, met again yes-
terday.
Senator Read, president pro tem.,
rapped for order at 1:40, and Chap-
lain Storrs O. Seymour offered prayer
as usual.
Pres1dent Read called for the special
order of the day and Senator Fox re-
sponded. by presenting resolutions of
respect in memory of the late Dr. A1-
sop, democratic candidate for the office
of heutenant governor.
Senator Holden paid a glowing
tribute to Dr. Alsop’s memory, and
was followed by Senator Seymour, who
traced back Dr. Alsop’s lineage and
detailed some of the more important
serv1ces the doctor had rendered the
state. “One thought,” said Senator
Seymour, “presses for utterance;
and that is, that were it not for the
present unfortunate political complica-
tion, Dr. Alsop would to-dayhave been
alive.” The Senator in the course of
his remarks told how it had recently
come to li ht that for a long period the
butcher, t e baker and the clothier had
been privately supplying, unknown to
anybody, the necessities of many at the
doctor’s order and at his expense. The
paper was a worthy and graceful tribute
to the recognized merit of the departed
leader.
A resolution was also offered in mem-
ory of the late Charles R. Brockway,
one of the senate messengers, who died
last week at Middletown. Senators
Clark and Pierce spoke in praise of Mr.
Brockway and the resolution was unau-
lmously adopted.
_At three o’clock, the senate imme-
diately adjourned to Tuesday, Novem-
ber 10, at half-past two o’clock.

Senator Hawley’s 'Denlal.
The associated press dispatch to the
effect that the position of secretary of
war had been offered to Senator Haw-
ley was unqualifiedly denied yesterday,
by that gentleman at his cottage-.111:
Woodmont. As he has not been out
of Connecticut this summer, the state-
ment concerning his being in confer-
ence with President Harrison at Cape
May needs ,no further contradiction.

Accldent In Bridgeport.
The Newport'express Saturday after-
noon struck the hub of a truck at the

He was badly hurt internally. The

caged injury and were calmly whisking
their tails right away after the accident
as if nothing had happened.

Price, One Cent.
Trouble Brewing.
For some time Fred. E. Lockwood
has had a portable house erected near
the old Compo Mill, at Compo Beach,
which he has rented to parties desiring
to enjoy camp life. Fred. has been
having some difficulty with a Mrs.
Sherwood living near the mill, who
claims that the property belongs to her,
but itis understood that the records
show that the property belongs to the
town of VVestport, consequently Fred.
has declined to move the building.
Yesterday he received the following
letter from M. W. Wilson, a Westport
lawyer:—
WESTPORT, On, Sept. 5, 1891.
Frederick Lockwood. Esq. ‘ ,
SIB :—You have a small house on Mrs.
Frank Sherwood’s back, near Sher-
wood’s mill. It is so used as to bea
nuisance. Unless you remove it within
the next ten days I shall commence
legal proceedings against you.
Yours, etc.,
. M. W. WILSON,
Attorney for Mrs. Sherwood and others.
As Fred. denies that his house is
planted on Mrs. Sherwood’s back, and,
as the records are said to show that
the town of Westport owns the land,
Fred.proposes to let that house remain
on its present foundation until it is
ordered off by the court. It is also
said that the town of Westport will
take a hand in discovering who really
owns the property.

Sudden Death.
At about 9 o’clock Sunday morning
two Hungarians came to the police sta-
tion and reported a man dead at No. 25
Benton street, a Hungarian boarding
house. Deputy coroner Burke hap-
pened to be near by and the chief ad-
vised him of the report. The coroner
accompanied the parties back and
found, as stated, a man dead. Itproved-
to be a Hungarian named John Len-
geryl, aged about 44 years. It seems
that Lengeryl was a dissipated man, he
having at times drank alcohol but
slightly reduced with water. He had
been under the influence of intoxi-
cants for weeks and Saturday night
came home drunk. Early the next
morning he went out to an out-house .
near by. After an absence of perhaps
half an hour one of the boarders went
out to search for himvand found him

vomited freely. and it was at first ‘
thought that there was foul play. On
examination Coronor Burke decided
that he had died from paralysis of the
heart, the effects of alcoholic poison-
ing. The remains were taken to un-
dertaker Gregory’s and yesterday af-
ternoon interred in the town plot in
Pine Island cemetery. Be it in a fight
or unusual death ’tis hard lines for the
reporter or any one else to get informa-
tion bearing on the point.
Labor Day Arrests.
Justice Coolidge had a galaxy of
drunks before him this morning when
he opened court.
The first victim was Frank Barnes, a
well-known Wilton spert. Frank was
drunk and disorderly on Main street,
and, when Officers Adams and Howard
wanted him to go home, he declined
the invitation with thanks, so he was
gathered in. As it was his‘first'appear-q
auce before Justice Coolidge, (although
arrested several times before for a sim-
ilar offence), he was let off with a fine
of $1 and costs, which he paid. .
Robert Anderson and William Fahan
each charged the other with assault,
and the state, to even things, tacked on
an additional charge of drunkenness.
They were fightingin front of a saloon
on Main street, and, as the testimony
showed that Fahan was the aggressor,
he was fined $2 and costs. Anderson
was let go with a fine of $1 and costs.

A Dog Causes 3. Runaway.
Yesterday afternoon, about 4 o’clock,
as Herman Fancher and a boy were
trying a new horse. lately purchased by
Mr. Fancher, they overtook two men
accompanied by a large bull dog, one
of whom was a Mr. McKay. When
opposite the dog it made a spring for
the horse and caught him by the knee,
which so frightened him that he made
a plunge, upsetting the ,road cart and
throwing both Fancher and the boy out
and injuring Mr. Fancher quite badly.
The horse dashed away, dragging the
cart after him, and was finally stopped
by George Richmond, near Mrs. Low’s
barn, on the Westport read. When
questioned about the dog McKay de-
nied his ownership. : . ~
