Danbury Fair.
This noted gathering has recorded
another phenominal success this year.
About half of stirring Norwalk has been
represented there the present week.
Yesterday quite a number drove up in
their carriages, and several more rode
up and back on their wheels. The:
7 brilliant golden and scarlet autumna-
tints, now beautify the hills and vall
leys and these old time rides up through
- wild and romantic Sugar Hollow, were
thus given an added charm.
The show of working cattle was large
and unusually excellent, that of milch
cows was far superior to several pre-
vious years. The show of horse stock,
was unusually fine. The trotters, of
course were in the ascendant as an at-
traction. Fruits and especially apples,
were exceedingly fine. Ladies indus-
trial exhibits ditto. There was ‘ the
finest show of birds and poultry, ever
seen at that or any other fair in the
opinion of fanciers. ,
Mr. D. H. Van Hoosear, of Wilton,
had a large and very superior exhibit
of sheep, taking first premium. Car-
riage-maker Wright, of South Nor~
walk, had the finest carriage on exhibi-
tion, of his own manufacture. James
Sexton, of Bridgeport, the noted
sculptor,had alarge and attractive exhi-
bition of mortuary, tablets and monu-
ments, etc. Prof. Crozier, was of
course as busy as a bee in a sugar bar—
rel and Assistant Secretary Barnum in-
defatiguable in his exertions to help
and please everybody. It was a great
show and the Danbury Fair has be-
come a great function. It ought not to
be so marred by excess of fakirs’,
thimble riggers, “skin-games,” frauds
and gamblers, as it was this year.
What Dld It. .
The vote for Mr. Daskam is especially
gratifying from the fact that Jacob B.
Raymond, his aSSOciate on the Demo-
cratic ticket, used his utmost efforts to
secure his own election at the expense
of Mr. Daskam.——Hour.
Yes, and it was this idiotic “taunt in»
last week's Hour, that provoked this
inconsiderate action:
“Wemust elect him, [Daskam,] or
let Sou'th'Norwalk run the town."

. Ran Away.
Gussie Adam’s name appears on the
school register of the Over River school.
He is a son of Lorenzo Adams. Gussie
is a bright lad but he will absent him-
self from school. One day this week
the lruant oflicer apprehended him and
took him to the school, giving him the
choice of attending regularly or being
placed in the Reform school.
On Thursday last he was again miss-
ing from school and this time even his
parents have been unable to locate him,
although a diligent search has been
kept up ever Since. It was believed
that he had gone to the Danbury Fair,
but such was not the case.
This morning a GAZETTE reporter
located the lad in New York, and ad-
vised his relatives of his wherebouts.
He had boarded a train for that city
and arriving there was stranded. lie
was found in the Grand Central depot
by a policeman, to whom he said that
he had started for Elizabeth, N. J., to
see his grandfather who was.-.~very sick.
The lad was taken to police head-
quarters.
He is the same youngster who some
days ago when his father was trying to
catch him and take him home, jumped
into the creek with his clothes on and
swam to the opposite side and made his
escape.
A telephone message elicited the in—
formation that the led had been taken
charge of by the Gerry society, and
his parents will go to the city this after-
noon and take him to his grandparent
in Elizabeth, N. J.

Expensive Escalops.
A week or two ago Charles Riley and
“Butch” Stevens went over to Long
Island and gathered a quantity of es-
calops. They it is claimed, violated a
New York state law in so doing. Any-
way warrants were issued for their ar-
rest and placed in the hands of Officer
James Oats of Huntington. The ofilcer
came to Norwalk one (day this week
but learned that Riley had again sailed
for Long Island in the yacht Marguer-
ite. He failed to locate Stevens, and
returned home. As Riley and his
friends were standing on the pier at
Huntington, yesterday, Officer Oates
stepped up and placed him under ar-
rest. Rather than be detained for a
hearing Riley settled the matter and
was released from custody. The ofiicer
promises to make another visit to N or-
walk before long and place Stevens
under‘ arrest unless he in the meantime
settles up. and thus contributes to the
vindication of the law.

Buried Alive.
Two Italians, Nicole Werra and Frank
Detucci employed by John Beattie, a
contractor for the Consolidated road,
were buried alive by the caving in of a
trench at Fairfield avenue, Bridgeport,
yesterday afternoon. The grade of the
avenue is being cut down to eliminate a
grade crossing. The first alarm of the
nave-in was a cry of fright from Anton-
ia Petrella who was buried waist high
in the sand while Werra and Detucci
were not to be seen. The men realized
at once what had happened and the
comrades of the buried men fell to with
their shovels and worked nobly in the
effort to dig them out alive. '
There were tons of sand on top of the
men and when at last it had all been
removed fully ten minutes had elapsed.
The men were taken out just as the am-
bulance arrived and after a hasty exam-
ination Dr. Bishop pronounced them
both dead of suffocation.
Petrella, who was'dug out afterward,
had his left knee wrenched and his
body bruised some but was really more
scared that hurt.
Before rendering hisverdict Coroner
Doten will take expert testimony on
the safety or unsafety of the manner in
which the work was being done with the
possible result that either the foreman
or contractor will be held accountable
for the death of the men.

Hayes' News Office Deluged.
Last evening as N ewsman Hayes was
about looking up his store he heard a
noise in the rear part of the store
which he at first mistook fer rats as the
cause. On investigation, however, he
found that water was dripping down
from the wall overhead. He quickly
went up stairs into apartments occu-
pied by Mr. John Gormley and dis-
covered that a waterpipe under the
sink had burst and water was spurti'ng
from it in large quantities. He nor the
tenants knew where the shut-off ,was
located, and he was obliged to leave the
water running while he went 'to the
house of the landlord, Mr. Curtis, who
returned with him and shut off the
water. Considerable damage was done
to goods in Mr. Hayes’ store.
His Hand Crushed.
Charles Moore, 9. Bridgeport engrav-
er, while riding along Sixth avenue,
New York Thursday night, fell from
the front platform ofa horse car. As
he fell, Moore instinctively threw out
his arms, and his right hand fell on the
track in front of the car wheel. Before
he could withdraw it the wheel had
passed over the hand, frightfully crush-
ingand mutilating it.
Her 90th Anniversary:
Wednesday was the 90th anniversary

old lady. She has seven children, all
residing in this town. Her health is

man in the Fourth district is a good
party long and faithfully in many im-
portant public and private stations. He
has an acute intellect and a warm heart,
is Republican to the core and ought to
redeem the district by a good plurality
get Congressman DeForest.-Hartford
0st.
The Congressional contest in the
Fourth Connecticut district will be the
closest for many years. E. J. Hill has
gone into the fight to win and so too,
will the democratic nominee.—Bridge-
port Post.
The Republicans of the Fourth. dis-
trict have up a ver strong candidate
for con toss in the on. E. J. Hill, of
Norwal . Mr Bill is an active Repub-
lican, a man full of enthusiasm, a capi-
tal speaker and popular with Republi-
cans and democrats alike. What he
undertakes goes. He is a public-
spirited and progressive citizen, and.
when elected, he will well represent his
district, which has suffered in the set
few years from Mr. DeForest's po icy
and politics. If the district has the in-
telligence to know what it wants. Mr.
Hill will be its next congressman:
Hartford Courant.
The more the Republicans think over
the nomination of the congressional
convention in this district the better
they like it, and the more they are de-
termined that Mr. Hill shall represent
their interests in the next congress.
Mr. Hill is unlike his New York name-
sake, in having no invalidating record
and no disqualifying smirches upon his
character. He is a wideawake, intelli-
gent, successful business man, with
sound Republican principles and ample
power in setting them forth. His pres-
ence in congress would be a help to the
district which will not care to get left
in the new Republican house.—-Bridge-
port Standard.
In the fourth congressional district.
the Republicans evidently are not go-
ing to rely, as they do sometimes, on
the persuasiveness of their candidate’s
barrel. They have nominated in E. .
Hill of N orwalk, a busy man who is at
the same time a born politician and
who finds time to make politics a part
of his life. He is of the younger but
not of the youngest set, has his eye
teeth fully cut and is not making many
mistakes, has been going to national
and state conventions long enough to
know everybody and has had active ex-
perience in the Legislature. He rep-
resents a somewhat narrow but honest
political creed, to which he is thorough-
ly and aggressively loyal in spirit and
action. It is the material selfish creed
of modern Republicanism, without too
much sentiment. It is determined,
persistent and hard to beat. Mr. De-
Forest, who ought to be re-elected, will
find Mr. Hill moving from now till
election day with vim and endurance.

Superior Court. .
The first short calendar session of the
court year was held in the Superior
court Friday. The Hon. Milton A.
Shumway occupiedthe bench. It was
the first session since June, and during
the intervening months many cases
have been returned to the court. The
docket was an unusually long one, but
as usual many of the cases assigned
went over until another time.
In the divorce department of the
court there were five petitions, but
only one apphcant appeared to present
her case. She was Lillie E. Pierce, of
Norwalk, who sought separation from
Herbert F. Pierce. The couple
were married on July 5, 1885, at Nor-
walk and lived together for five years,
when the husband found himself in a
position unbecoming a well behaved
married man. His wife left him in
November, 1890, and since that time
has supported herself.
little evidence introduced and Judge
Shumway continued the case for fur-
ther consideration.
James E. Batterson of Norwalk, who
seeks a divorce from his wife, Fanny
B. Batterson, was asked by the latter
to furnish counsel fees, and the court
granted her 825 to be provided within
three weeks.
Attorney Levi Warner appeared in
the interest of the trustees of the insoln
vent Norwalk and South Norwalk
Electrict Light company. A motion
was made for the appointment of a per-
manent receiver, and the courtap.
pointed Louis 0. Whitney of New Brit-
ain. Theamount of bonds was not
named. The receiver was ordered to
file an inventory on or before next
Wednesday.

Capt. Andrews and His Boat.
Capt. Andrews and his boat “Sopo-
lio,” mounted on wheels, are in town
and attract much attention. Capt.
Andrews sailed from Atlantic City on
Spain, Sept. 20th. The history of his
daring trip is well known to all. The
craft is 14 ft. 6 in. long, over all, and is
a canvas-covered folding boat, decked
over, excepting a cockpit 2ft. by 3ft.
and 6 in. long, fitted with asliding
hatch, and carries 350 lbs. .of lead on
her keel. From a passing glance at
the boat one would hesitate in even
crossing the Sound in her if there hap-
pened to be much of a sea running at
the time. '

Can Be’Cured.
Acconn, N. Y.-Under the old school
method it was believed that any disease
of cancerous growth could never be
cured. The surgeon’s knife was resort-
ed to, but the old trouble was sure to
break out again. .
Since the discovery of Dr. David
Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy, all this
has been changed—the action of Favor-
ite Remedy upon thee stem leaves no
trace of nausea in the blood. the seeds
of disease are expelled and lost health

A notable case of the efilcacy of Dr.
Davrd Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy is
that of the Rev. 1. W. Hill of this town.
Some years ago he was. suffering with
acancer of long standing, on his lip,
and finall concluded to have it re-
moved. n speaking of his case Pastor
Hill said: f‘Abo’ut three weeks pre-
v10us to havrng the operation perform.
ed, I purchased Dr. David Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy and continued taking
it for some time after .the cancer was
removed. Ten long years have passed
Since then, and no trace of the ugly
thing has returned. I speak with know-
ledge in the highest terms of Dr. Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy as being able
to cure the troubles for which it is pre-
pared.” , ‘
One of our localphysicians said, in
explaining the demand for Dr. Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy: “It acts as
a nerve and blood food, and to my
knowledge it has made many erma-
nent cures of nervous: debility, sleep-
lessness, dyspepsia, rheumatism and of

.The Tin Plate Industry at a Standatlna'
Thc Mills Shut Down.
PITTSBURG, Oct. 6. —Not only have all
the tin plate mills in the country closed
down with the exception of the plant at
:Morewaod, Ind, but several projected-
mllls of this kind have been abandoned
temporarily. The Morcwood factory will
close down next Friday. Work on the
new tin plate factory at Montpelier, Ind,
has stopped indefinitely. This plant was
begun six months ago and would bar’s
been completed in two months more.
Work has also ceased on the factory
under construction at J oliet, 1118., by the
Chicago Tin Plate company. The Wash-
ington (Pa) Tin Plate company has or.
derod work to cease on its new mill. The
Bellalro nail mlll management, which
broke ground for an addition in the shape
Of a big black plate mill, has abandoned
the project for the present.
The new mill at New Kensington, Pa,
will be completed in some week‘s} but the
owners do not expect to start until the tin
plate workers concede lower wages or the
tariff is changed.
These are but some of the factories upon
which work has been stopped owing to the
lowered tln- plate tarlfl'. As soon as the
striking-tin plate workers concede a lovmr
wage scale a portion of the new factories
may be completed. These mills would
have employed many thousand idle men
directly and others indirectly. '
New mills upon which work has not
been stopped are being completed very
slowly, as the owners have not the enthu-
siasm they possessed some months ago.
