And-Yet No Rain. ~
The ‘ continued'i‘drough‘t ’3-begiiis .to
make the Conditionsfhe’re in Norwalk
and hereabouts very serious. Crops:
are greatly’da‘inagedi and farmers in
some localities are. forced to cart water.
from distant springs and ~brooksifor
house and barn use. Our city reser-'
voirs are nearly exhausted and yet, we
are sorry to relate, many consumers
still persist, in violation of the express
and legal orders to the contrary from
the Water Commissioners, in letting
the water continuously run upon their
lawns. No good citizen should, and it
is hard to think, would do this in the
face of our threatened water famine.
At Mount Morris, N. Y., yesterday, a
serious drought'was broken as was the
for an hour of a deluge of water. It
eclipsed all former records for the same
space of time. A small stream running
through the village rose fully fifteen
feet in an incredibly short space of
time. Fences were swept away and
several buildings were removed from
their foundations. Farming lands were
inundated to a depth of ten feet. The
Western New York and Pennsylvania
Railroad tracks ,forma distance of 300
feet were washcdfiav'vay. An excursion
train‘ from vachéhter, coming from
Portage, consisting of nine loaded
coaches, was stalled at Tuscarora and
will be unable to 'get away until some
time to-day. ’What a pity that about
half of this wasted water could not have
fallen over N orwalk.
Even Danbury;:certainly as wicked
as Norwalk, had a deluging shower
again last night for the fourth or fifth
time. I ' '
"Quiet New Canaan.
Little,New Canaan passed an unusu-
ally quiet- Sunday, despite the threat of.
arr‘ésts‘of’about everybody, from the
sexto'uzivho'raug the church bell and
boy who pumped wind into the organ,
to the barber, liverymen, druggists,
newsmen, etc., who kept “open house”
on the Lord’s day. No arrests were
made and the day passed off much as
usual. The chief excitement there yes-
terday was the early arrival of Editor
Barney Feeney and the Norwalk fake
artist of a New York newspaper.
It is rumored that several arrests are
to be made for Sabbath violations to-
day, but the better belief is that the
old blue law against Sunday d -
tion will be again relegated to “inocu-
ous dcsuetude.”
‘ In the minds of a few sharp ones the
suspicion lurks that this whdle hulla-
bEloo was gotten up by a few sly and
c rte Canaanites as an advertising dodge
to bring their town into public notice.
New Canaan is an exceptionally beauti-
ful place and will bear advertising. '
A Home Thrust- ' '.
There’s originality, to say the least, in the
Washington street pronunciamento that de-
clares ex-Senator E. J. Hill’s political future
wrecked and ruined because there’s no guide
board on the new trolley to inform the public
whether the cars run to SouthNorwalk or not.
—-News. _
It is a pleasure to know that there are
but a very few residents of South N or-
Walk who entertain or have patience or
sympathy with the’ narrow, constipated
and altogether discredita'ble feeling of
jealous rivalry, regarding the many
different sections of the incomparably
beautiful and attractive whole of Nor-
walk, and that the present few still
cherishing feelings of envy are rapidly
ridding themselves of the disreputable
folly.

Fight at Winnipauk.
There was a serious fight at Winni-
pauk, Sunday afternoon. It was a tu-
angular afi‘air. The facts in the ease
as we learn them are that \Villiam
Louden, Thomas and Edward Cook,
were together, when one of the party
suggested that some whiskey wouldn’t
go bad. The sum of thirty-five cents
was collected and William Louden was
selected to buy the stuff. After a while
he returned and as is alleged refused to
produce either the liquor or the money.
This led to a row in which “Ed” Cook
was knocked down by Louden who pro-
ceeded to punch him in an artistic man-
ner. While he was so engaged “Tom”
Cook came to the rescue and picking a
large rock struck London on the head
with it, causing an ugly Wound. The
fight then became general but was fin.
ally stopped by a crowd which had gath-
ered at the scene, and Louden was as-
sisted to his home, where his head was
dressed. ..
Cards Must be Stamped.
Internal Revenue Collector Byxbee,
has received a letter from the Treasury
"department at Washington notifying
,him that in view of the tarrifi‘ bill be-
coming a law he will take the necessary
steps to secure from dealers and manu-
facturers in this district a sworn state-
ment as to the number of packs of play-
ing cards on hand the day the new law
goes into effect. All packs of cards
sold after the new bill becomes a law
must be- stamped. The information so
secured by the collector must be sent
immediately to the department at Wash.-
iugtou. ,
, The penalty for violating this law is
a fine of fifty dollars for the sale of each
unstamped pack. . .
O
Explosion at Danbury.
An explosion of an oven occured at
Lee, Hawley & Ratchford’s hat factory,
in Daubury, on Saturday. Dennis
Dunn an employee at the factory in
attempting to ' throw off a belt after
the explosion suffered a broken arm,
two other men were scalded and a
woman jumped froma window in the
trimming room but escaped serious
injury. An employee named Beckett
was struck in the head and slightly
bruised. The two men scalded were
named Buckingham. There was little
damage in the room where the baker is
situated, which is explained, probably,
by the fact that the lower oven exploded
and the weight above kept the frag-
ment’s from flying far.

Burglarlzed.
James H. O’Reilley’s saloon on Ward
street was broken into Saturday night,
and robbed of nearly all of its con-
tents. Bottles of‘liquors were found
smashed outside of the building and
the contents spilled on the ground.
Mr. O’Reilley thinks that the place was
broken into out of “pure cussedness”
or else there would not have been such
a wilful destruction of preperty. He
has his suspicions as to the identity of
the guilty parties.
Hurt in a Runaway.
At Norfolk, Saturday, morning, a

‘ Roton'Point.
Rolled on a Barrel.
Roton Point- came near being the
scene of a; drowning accident yester-
day afternoon. About three o’clock
James Hart of South Norwalk a man
forty years of age, put on a bathing
suit and entered the water for a _bath.
He had been drinking and was slightly
intoxicated, but was apparently able to
take care of himself. He had been in
the water some little time and was
quite a distance from shore, when the
attention of several peoplle on the beach.
Was attracted to him. 6 appeared to.
be in great agony as"though he was
having a. fit and was ‘frothing at the
mouth and struggling violently to keep
his head above water. Wm. Dunn, of
Meriden, who was visiting his brother,
Thomas at South Norwalk, was bath-
ing at the time and was the first one
toreach Hart, who was fast becoming
unconscious. He caught him by the.
hair and held him up until some one
came to his assistance with a row boat.
Hart was gotten into this‘and taken
ashore at once. The people there
thought he was drowned, so a barrel
was procured and Hart was rolled up
and down the beach‘ until he came to,
when he was removed to the hotel and
Dr. Charles Bohannan who happened
to be at the Point attended him. Here
he remained for some time and after
recovering was able to ride to his home.
A Golden‘ Wedding.
One of those rare and interesting
events, and beautiful because rare, of
the celebration of a fiftieth wedding
anniversary, was commemorated .on
Sunday by Mr. and Mrs. William K.
Lewrs, long and worthy and esteemed
residents of Norwalk. The occaswn
was observed with that quiet modesty
befitting the Sabbath day and the-well
known tastes of the happy recipients
of congratulations. A family dinner
was spread at which all the children
andvchildreu’s children were present, as
was the only surviving brother of Mrs.
Lewis, Mr. F. J. Mallory and his wife. _ _
Many beautiful and touching remind;
ers of the event were presented by the
children and grand-children and other
relatives and friend s.but:the most inter-
esting and valuable gift was from the
aged mother of the bride, Mrs. James
Mallory, whose beautiful old age is
serenely creeping close up to a full cen-
"tury, who gave her daughter a rich and
costly garment presented her by her
revered husband on the occasmn of
their golden wedding anniversary held
«nearly a quarter of a century ago.
This is a rarely beautiful India shawl,
. which cost the late James Mallory five
hundred dollars at wholesale, and
which has been treasured Wit-h such
'care that it is now apparently as bright
and uusoiled aswhen imported. Gold
gold spoons, gold-decorated
vases, lamps, etc., with olden-rod and
choice golden tinted I cwers galore,
made bright the comfortable home of
the celebrators.,__A congratulatory note
*from Grace Church rectory,'a brilliant
bouquet of cut flowers fromMrs. Sam-
:‘uel Talcott, were amonggthe many other
:kind remembrances of loving friends.
But the wedding itself was (me of N or-
walk’s most notable society events in
"‘ye olden time,” and is worthy a de-
tailed re-publication : ,
William K. Lewis and Sarah C. Mal-
lory were married by the Rev. Dr. Ed-
win Hall, at the old Congregational
“meeting house” on the Green, on the
evening of Monday, August 19, 1844.
Samuel R. P. Camp and Frances E.
Keeler (sister of the late Mrs. Edwin
Mallory) were the same evening mar-
ried at St. Paul’s Episcopal church, by
the Rev. Dr. Wm. Cooper Mead. It
was known and long commented on as
the “Double Wedding.” Mn. Camp
and Miss Keeler firstzstood up With Mr.
Lewis and Miss Mallory during their
wedding ceremony at the Congrega-
tional church and Mr. and ‘ Mrs. Lewis
immediately accompanied the first
named over to St. Paul’s and stood up
with them when Dr. Mead made them
Mr. and Mrs. Camp, and in addition,‘
Chas. O. C. Bette and Sarah Lounsbury
stood up with them. J. Fitch Mallory,
and Elizabeth Betts, (daughter of the
late George W. Betts of East avenue)
stood up with Mr. Lewis and Miss Mal-
lory at'~ their marriage ceremony and
all stood together before the altar at
the Camp wedding at St. Paul’s. Men,
women and children packed both
churches to overflowing-and stampeded
from the first to get within the second,
in order to witness the novel wedding.
Another notable event of the same
evening,.besides the weddings and the
excitement prevailing here over the
Henry Clay campaign, as recorded in
the GAZETTE of that date, was that of
an earthquake followmg the nuptials,
which not only shook up Norwalk, but
all the shore towns of Connecticut.
This seismic disturbance _was never,
clearly established as being in any way
connected with the double wedding.
There were no railroad cars here in.
those days and early the following, or
Tuesday morning, David Stevenson,
had back driver Charles Partric on the
box of his best. coach, to which was
harnessed .“Uncle David’s” best team,
and thus the “weddeners” rode to New
Haven, stopping over night and taking
cars on the New. Haven, Hartford &
Springfield road to mthe latter city,
reaching there the same night and stop-
ping over till Thursda at the old Mas-f
sasoit House. Next ay they reached
Boston and attended Sunday service at
the old South Church and on Monday
got down to Newport and from thence
came down the Sound by boat, haying
in all, made the most remarkable
.“bridal tour” to the record of any Nor-
walk parties up to that date. And in-
deed this trip was more discussed than
3 trip to China or Japan would be to-
ay. . ., . , .
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis bid fair to live
to reach their diamond wedding, and
hosts of friends‘wish that they may.

How to be Safe.
Rev. W. H. Hang, a Methodist minis-
ter well known in Norwalk, writes as
follows, concerning the “deadly fold-
ing bed": =“In the last issue .of the.
Talapoosa Journal is an account 'of a
man andlwifebeing crushed in avfold-
ing bed. , The man is dead and the wife
is thought to be fatally injured. Why
not put an end to these shocking bluno‘
data. How can it be done? Why,
place the pillows on what, is generally,
considered the {not of the bed. When
thehead and shoulders, the heavy .part
of the body, would be on the opposite
end of' the bed‘fr‘om where the Weights
are. .that swing and hold it to. This
would no doubt hinder accidents from
happening. But if by any reason this
should fail, the occupants would have
the advantage of standing on their feet
when it was clOsed, with all their pow-
ers' of physical force to brace against
the~ back of the fram'e'and throw it
again open ’and 'down._ Now When a
bed folds the sleepers are placed in the
unpleasant and disadvantageous p‘osi-"
tion of standing on their heads in a
smothered condition, and all poWers of
