Obituary.
One Of the most venerable, and for
her years, most vigorous residents of
Fairfield County, the mother of Seth
Chauncey Weed, Esq., of New Canaan,
departed this life on Saturday last.
Mrs. Weed, who was born in 1799, has
been a woman ,Of remarkable energy,
of excellent sense and judgment, and
of old-fashioned firm and fixed prin- -
ciple. She has lived to rear 9. thrifty
family, and for many years to enjoy
with its members the comforts which
prosperity insures. Her sun has long
been westering; still the days and sea-
sons have passed happily and usefully
along. Wishing, several Christmases
ago, to remember her grandchildren,
she mentioned the fact to 9. Norwalk
friend, and adding that she desired the
gift to be one of true value, requested
him to make selection of the Word of
God for the purpose. An order was
consequently forwarded and filled for a
handsome number of very hansomely
bound-family Bibles, each bearing the
golden inscription, “ From Grand-
mother.” Her funeral will be attended
.to-morrow by the rector of St. Mark’s,
New Canaan and the ex-rector of St.
Paul’s, Norwalk. '
Ostrander--Lathrop. -
Mr. John Ostrander and Mrs. Cora
Lathrop were attentive listeners to the
=music at the concert given; in the Baptist
Church, Sunday evening. After the
close of the services they approached
Pastor Robbins, presented a duly cer-
tified license, and stated their wish to
be married. The ceremoney was quick-
ly performed and the couple left the
church as happy as the happiest.

lino Incendiary Fires Star'blre‘ti‘ie
Residents of Ely Avenue Early j
Sanday Morning.
Four Horses Burned to a Crisp
Together With Several Wagons
and Sleighs.
At about a quarter past 4 o’clock
Sunday morning Thomas M. Saunders,
a batter living on Ely avenue. South
Norwolk, was awakened by the violent
barking of his dog, which he keeps
near his chicken house. As he jumped
out of bed he became aware that his
bedroom was brilliantly lighted -by
flames from a near by fire. He looked
out of the window and saw the barn of
Theodore R. Smith, the expressman.
who lives just above Ely avenue, was
completely enveloped in flames. Quick-
l dressing himself and calling Dennis
Lveahey, who occupies the upper part
of Saunders’ house, the two ran to the
barn. When they arrived on the scene
they found that Mr. Smith was asleep
and was not aware of the conflagration.
They soon woke him up and while he
was dressing Saunders and Leahey
drew Mr. Smith’s large two-horse truck
and two wagons, which were standing
close to the barn, to a safe distance.
One of the wagons, however, had the
top burned off before they could re-
move it. There were four horses in
the barn at the time, two of which
belonged to Mr. Smith’s brother in
New HYork, but the fire had so com-
pletely enveloped that part of the barn
where they were kept that it was im-
possible to rescue them and they were
burned to a crisp. Saunders and Lea-
hey also succeeded in getting out a cow
and calf, which were kept in a small
barn at the rear, although thebedding
under the cow was ablaze when they
succeeded in breaking their way in.
Mr. Smith had dressed and joined
Saunders and Leahey and they had
rescued several pigs from the pen at
the rear of the barn and were in the
act of letting the chickens out of the
chicken house when Mr. Smith chanc-
ing to look toward the east saw flames
shooting up from another fire on Ely
avenue. Mr. Saunders at once thought
that sparks from the Smith barn had
ignited the roof of his house and he
and Leahey started on a run for home,
but soon discovered that the fire was
not there but in the barn of Michael
F. Walsh at the junction of Ely avenue
and the Wilson Point road. Here they
found the west end of the barn in
flames which were rapidly spreading to
all parts of the structure. They ran to
the house and after knocking and, yell-_
ing succeeded in rousing Mr. Walsh’s
daughter, Mrs. Walsh being away.
As nothing could be done, there be-
ing no water or fire apparatus, the barn
was allowed to burn together with its
contents, which consisted of a set of
furniture, a car load of crucible kettles
and crooks and between thirty and
forty thousand circulars and a lot of
private papers belonging to Mr. Walsh.
The Smith barn was also totally des.
two wagons, also three or four sets Of
harness and several blankets and lap
robes. Two of the sleighs and one of
the wagons were the property of Dr.
Charles G. Bohannan and had been
stored in Mr. Smith’s barn. Two of
the horses are also said to have be-
longed to Mr. Smith’s brother in New
York. .
The fire was undoubtedly incendiary
as Mr. Smith told a GAZETTE represent-
ative who visited the scene, that he had
unhitchedat the barn and put his horse
away; at 8:30 o’clock Saturday night
without the aid of ‘a light and that
there had been no light used in the
barn.
Mr. Saunders is of the same belief,
and is almost positive that his dog was
. barking and thrashing about because
of some one running across his yard
from the direction of the Smith barn.
He is also of the opinion that the party
who set Mr. Smith’s barn on fire is the
same that started the fire at Mr. Walsh’s,
as both barns are nearly on a line with
each other, and only a short distance
apart. '
One of the strangest incidents con-
nected with the fires is that no one
excepting Mr. Saunders and Mr. Lea-
hey saw the fire, and both Mr. Smith
and Miss Walsh were unaware that any-
thing unusual was going on until awak-
ened by the loud knocking and shouts
of Saunders and Smith. None of the
other neighbors saw or heard the fire.
A large numberof people visited the
ruins of the two barns on Sunday, and
the sight of the burnt bodies of the
four horses was a sickening spectacle.
The poor .animals had evidently been
roasted in their stalls, as they were
lying side by side in the ruins.
Mr. Smith had some insurance on his
barn and horses, but as the policies are
in New York, it is net known the
amount carried.
The Walsh barn was insured for $1000
in the H‘amburg-Brememthrough agent
Barker:
_Dr. Bohannan had an insurance on
his carriage and sleighs, but as the in-
surance covered them while in their
own barn and was not transferred to
cover them in the Smith barn, he will
lose his insurance.

A man who gave his name as Thomas
Lynéh ,was arrested Saturday night.
He had over $40 in his pockets, but was
too much under the influence to count
it. He spent Easter in a cell and this
morning paid a fine of $2 and costs. He
was employed at Smith’s sanitarium at
Wilton, and this morning was in receipt
of his discharge from that institution.
James Connolly, who claimed Boston
as his. home, his diet baked beans,

appearances during the day, but the

that the party who made it had failed

rain continued far into the night.
Comparatively few Easter costumes
w to seen on the streets or at the
churches. "he rain, however, did not
prevent an‘ unusually large attendance
at the different churches during the
day. The decorations, while perhaps
not as elaborate as on former Easter
Sundays were of a very pleasing char-.
actor. The music was the best ever
presented in Norwalk, and the carols
of love. joy, peace'and faith were
voiced in the sweetest manner.
CONGhEGATIONAL.
The attendance at the Congregational
church in the morning was large. The
altar and the organ were handsomely
trimmed with palms, Easter lilies and
trailing vines. The singing was of a'
high order and Pastor Noble preached
a splendid sermon on “The Resurrec-
tion and it’s Lessons.” A carol service
was held in the evening at which the
Pastor delivered a short address on
“The Keystone of the Arch.” A large
proportion of the Sunday school schol-
ars were present. 4
, sr. PAUL’S.
The interior of St. Paul’s church
was lavishly decorated with flowers and
palms and the musiical programme at
the morning service was very finely
rendered. Rev. Mr. Pond preached an
excellent sermon. In the afternoon
the children to the number of 500
assembled and took part in a carol ser-
vice. Nearly all of the children each
brought a bouquet of flowers which
were afterward distributed among the
sick of the parish.
METHODIST.
A splendid musical programme was
presentcdat the Methodist church by
the followmg ch01r and orchestra:
Choir—Miss Ella J. ByxbeeJlIiss Edith Coni-
stocs, soprani; Mrs. Annie Auby, Miss Annie
Staab. contralti; Mr. C. W. Hoyt, Mr. H. 1’

The theme of the meter was “The
Resurrection Body.” A service of
Even-Song washeld at 7:30.0’clock.
The floral contributions, furnished by
ind1v1dual members of the church,
were very pretty and both servxces
were well attended.
BAPTIST.
A special musical programme was
presented at the Baptist church in the
morning, and Pastor Robbins preached
from the text "The Empty Tomb.”
The church was prettily embellished
with palms and Easter lillies. The mu-
sic was rendered by the following
Choir —Miss Myrtle Foulds, Miss Laura Fra-
zier, Miss Emma Franke. sopranos: Mrs. G. 0.
Miller. Miss Ada Street. centralto: Messrs.
Whitney and Olmstead. bass; Dr. G. R. Mc-
Gonegal. tenor; Miss Jennie Smith. organist.
ST. MARY’S.
“Probably at no church in town was
the music of a higher order than at St.
Mary’s church. The music was by
Mercandante‘ and Weigand and was
rendered by a choir of thirty voices ac-
companied by an orchestra of fourteen
pieces. Prof. Hevnan presided at the
organ. The attendance at the different
services during the day was very large.
ST. PAUL’S CHAPEL.
The Chapel of Our Holy Saviour was
crowded at the choral evensong last
evening. The singing by the surpliced
choir, which is rapidly gaining the
“Cathedral style,” was excellent, and
included processional hymn, “The
strife is o’er,” from Palestriua ; Messi-
ter’s melodious setting of the Psalter ;
Bunnett’s Magnificat and Nunc Dim-
mittis; three anthems from Handel’s
Messiah : “I know that my Redeemer
liveth,” “Worthy is the Lamb” and
the “Hallelujah chorus,” and reces-
sional, “Jesus Christ is risen to-day.”
The Rev. S. B. Pond preached from
St. John 20 : 9, a discourse appropriate
to the season, being an exposition of
the sacramental system of the church.

Hovr’s OPERA HOUSE.
The funny comedy “Jane,” which
will be presented at Iont’s Opera House,
Monday evening March 26th is the
most successful French farce that has
been written in years. When it was
played here last year, it was voted by
the people to be funnier and merrier
than the-“Private Secetary,” which had
held the laughing record up to this date.
~The piece is now being interpreted by
the best company that Mr. Charles
Frohman could engage. Miss Jennie
Yeamans, who will be seen as Jane, is
not a stranger in this section. She
created all of the principal parts in near-
ly every one of. the successful farce
comedies produced a few years ago..
Her performance of Jane, while quietly
artistic, is immensely funny, and she is
said to createtwo hundred and eighty
laughs during the play.
HorT’s OPERA HOUSE.
The great realistic comedy-drama.
“The Limited Mail,” will be presented
at Hoyt’s Opera House, Thursday even-

“Beatrice played “ Jim
Harland, the Ambitious Kid, ” to every-
body’s satisfaction, and turned more
hand-springs and somersaults than any
boy in Jersey City could do. Besides,
she can touch the back of her head
with her feet and walk around the stage
on her hands. Just before the second
not she did an acrobatic dance, and it
was the best dancing that has been seen
in Jersey City for a long time.”

[Blood Poisoning
After a Severe Accident
Life in Great Danger— Hood’s Sar-

“ C. I. Hood 8: Co.. LOWell, Mass:
“ My little granddaughter, Gracie E. Nash of
Boston, while visiting at our house met with an
accident which nearly killed her. She fell from
the hay mow to the barn floor almost 18 feet
below and was rendered unconscious. Her
mother took her to the Boston City Hospital.
The side of the head was badly crushed. Blood
poisoning set in and the child did not rally. She
could not eat anything; her stomach was so
rebellious that she threw of! all nourishment.
' Her mother sent for me and when I went to the
girl, her spinal cord .and the cords of her neck
I-loosl’ssn‘a’I Cures
were all drawn up and a copper color had set-
tled over her. I could quickly see the traces of
blood poisoning, and persuaded her mother to
let me take the girl back to our countryhome.
She consented and as soon as I reached home
I commenced to give the child; Hood’s Sarsapa-
rllla. It quickly overcame her sickness and the
stiffness left her neck. The good effects were
also noticeable about the wound on her head.
In less than a. month she was able to '
Run About the Farm,
and in a. short time afterwards she had com-
pletely recovered her full strength and health,

Shouts of “On to Washington,»
ey’s commonweal army of peace, which re-
world, started with shouts of “On to
Washington” from thiscityyesterday aft-
ernoon. . There were between 200 and 300
persons in line, and there was no mistak-
ing the fact that the majority of them,
were tramps. Undoubtedly some of them
will fare better than they have for years.
In fact there seems to be no danger of the
soldiers of Coxey’s commonweal starving.
The Populists along the proposed line of
march are bestirring themselves.- At Al~
liance a storeroom has been set apart as
cominissary headquarters, and this is pack-
ed with an endless variety of eatables. A
farmer down the road toward Pittsburg
sends word that he has slaughtered three '
oxen and will have them nicely roasted be-
fore the commonweal arrives.‘ A'car load
of potatoes, flour and provisions of other
kinds have been donated by thefarmers Of
Greentown, Stark county, and contribu-
tions of money have also been received.
General Coxey is elated over the pros«
pacts for the army and is extravagant in
his estimate of the number that will be
with him when he reaches Washington.
He says he is not at all alarmed over the
statements from \Vashington that the au—
thorities will check any demonstration.
“No one (an prevent American citizens
from congreg sting at the capital,” he said.
Illay B'Ieet Gatling Guns.
PITTSBURG, March SCI—The Dispatch
prints a story to the effect that it is re-
ported that Sheridan troop of Tyrone, a
portion of the Tenth regiment, and Battery
B of Pittsburg, handling the gatling guns,
have been ordered to prepare to meet Cox-
ey’s army at the state line near Beaver, Pa.
The movements of the soldiers at that
point will depend entirely on the fact
Whether or not the army had passed peace-
ably through Ohio.
Captain Hunt of Battery B was seen,_
but would not talk officially on the sub-
ject. It is known that General Greenway
was in the city on Thursday quietly in-
vestigating the situation; and while here
was in consultation with the militia offi-
cers ascertaining the sentihient of the peo-
ple in regard to Coxey’s threatening in-
vasion. It is also known that officers of
the different companies have ordered their
men to be in readiness for a sudden call to
duty. .
