As A NEWSPAPER.
SOUTH NORWALK.
Major C. W. Hendrie, of Stamford,
was in town yesterday.
Don’ t forget the excursion on the
City of Albany to-morrow after noon.
“Pawnee Bill’s” handsome advertis-
ing car went through this city last night
attached to the 10: 30 train. ,
The Shoemaker' 3 Union will hereaf-
ter hold their regular meetings on the
second Friday of each month.
W. T. Collins, of Stamford, is pitch-
ing for the Norwalk’s to-day in their
game with the Danbury’ s, at the Bax-
ter grounds.
Captain Colegrove and oflicer Glad-
stone gathered in John Gustavinson
and Thomas Donnelly, two vags, last
night and Justice Barrett did the rest
this morning.
Three young boys ran away from A.
Whitlock’ 8 school at Wilton, yesterday,
and were captured in this city last even-
ing by Captain Colegrove and returned
to the school.
William White. while fishing for
“snappers” at Wilson Point yesterday,
was taken with a fit and would have
rolled overboard had not several friends
come to his assistance.
As ofi‘icer Knapp was going on duty
last night he was approached by a‘ ‘vag”
named Alfred Davis, who desired to be
given a night’s lodging. The oflicer
informed h1m that he could not lock
him up unless he had some charge
against him. Davis then informed
Knapp that if he did not lock him up
he would go out and break a window.
After this threat he was locked up, and
this morning presented with 30 days in
jail by Justice Barrett.
A young man about 20 years of age
named George Law came to the station-
house last night with his face scratched
and his body considerably bruised A
companion with Law stated that they
were stealing a ride on a frei ht and as
it neared the East N orwalk epot they
attempted to jump ofi‘, but before they
could Jump, Law, Who was sitting down
with his feet dangling over the side of
a flat car, was struck by the fence and
pulled from the car. His face was
scratched and it was thought that his
collar-bone had been broken, but as he
was able to use his arm and shoulder
this morning with ease this is probably
'incorrect. Law said that he lived in
Philadelphia.

Fire Will Not D'eg‘tio‘y It.
Asbestus is a mineral fiber of the hom-
blendo variety. It derives its name
from a Greek word which signifies “in-
”?i‘tructible by fire.“ The ancients were
obtaining it, yet strange to say always
alluded to it as a vegetable production.
It was used in all their funeral rites. but
particularly Where cremation was prac-
ticed, the corpse 1)!" ng wrapped in an
asbe: :tus cloth so a 1 to keep the ashes of
the dead person from mingling with
those of the v 00.1 01 other combustibles'
used in inciner :.tion of the remains. The
people of Egypt and manv other coun-
tries of the ancients especially the royal
and v. ealthy classes, made towels, nap-
kins. tablecloths, etc., of asbestos and
cleaned them by throwing them into the
fire—St. Louis Republic.
Costly Railroads.
’ The costliest mile of railway is a. mile
measured on the steel portion of the
Forth bridge. The length of this por-
tion is a mile and 20 yards, and the cost
1’ it was considerably over £2,000,000.
The most expensive railway system in
the world is the “Inner Circle” line of
London, which cost, including the pur—
chase of land, from £600,000 to‘ nearl
£1,000,000 per mile. The last constru
ed mile, between the Mansion house and
Aldgate, cost altogether,~ including
“compensations,” nearly £2,000,000.—

senger on the mar platform of a. Michi-

co?"
“Yes sir ,” 'v. as the pi ompt reply of
the man as he turned his head and kept
his hands folded in front of him. N oth-

The Hot Poker Delusion.
n interesting delusion is produced by
loosing along a redhot poker at some
small object (a. coin or a letter stuck up—
on a wall) removed from the eye a dis-
tance of from four to six feet. Direct
the gaze intently for a few seconds, and
you will presently see an inverted image
of the object hanging near the end of
the poker. —St. Louis Republic.

Popular National Bongo.
We have a number of songs that seem
to lay about equal claims to distinction
as national songs. ‘fStar Spangled Ban-
ner,” “America.” and “Columbia.” are.
three of the first class. Then comes
“Yankee Doodle,” which is unquestion-
ably the song and tune representative of
New England, while “Dixie” has just as
firm a. hold upon the hearts (if the south‘
