A Dangerous Practice.
The advent of spring opens the bicy-
cle season and the number of wheel-
men is daily increasing ,here in Nor-
walk. The wheel is having an unusual
boom and every day brings out a new
beginner until the promise is that the
number of riders will be doubled be-
fore the season is ended. Three schools
of instruction have been opened and
are daily filled with people anxious to
learn to conquer the mysterious steed.
This increase of wheelmen is apt to
increase the amount of reckless riding
and to add to the danger from collision
both to pedestrians and riders, and it
is necessary that wheelmen should ex-
ercise more caution on our streets and
avenues.
The most dangerous practice in vogue
in Norwalk, is the habit that a number
of whcelmen have of racing with the
trolley cars and riding beside the tracks.
At any hour of the day wheelmen may
be seen riding along both East and
‘37ch avenues racing the cars. Some
times they are slightly ahead and some
times abreast, but always within a few
inches of the car, so that if a stone was
struck or the machine should break
the rider would undoubtedly be thrown
under the car and ground to pieces.
Another very dangerous practice in-
dulged in is the habit of riding within
a few inches of the rails. Wheelmen in
this position ride towards a rapidly ap-
proaching trolley car until within a few
feet of the car when they make a sud-
den turn out, and when remonstrated
with by tho motorman, laugh or make
an impudeut reply.
Both of these practices are dangerous,
and unless a halt ‘iS called it will be
only a question of time when the com-
munity will be shocked by some terrible
accident, as a motorman could not.
under any circumstance, stop his car in
time to prevent its running over a per-
son thrown upon the tracks from a
bicycle, when in this dangerous posi—
tion. Again, the spreading of the
rails, which is liable to occur, would
thr;w a car outward, and a rider in the
position complained of, would be sure
to be struck and throwfi and perhaps
killed.
It is to be hoped that wheelmen will
take heed of this warning in time and
exercise more care while riding upon
the streets of the town and thus pre-
vent manycomplaints and legal annoy-
cases.
A word to the wise should be suffi-
crest.
A Beautiful Old Age.
TC—day the widely beloved and every-
where esteemed Mrs. James Mallory,
celebrates her ninety-second birthday,
at her long-time Norwalk home, in the
company of loving children and child-
ren’s children even to the third and
fourth generations, and receiving ard-
ent congratulations of friends from far
and near. Among other sweet remem-
brances, came a. box of southern arbutus
from Washington friends, gathered
from Virginia forests. Mrs. Mallory
has enjoyed a. very excepticnally long,
sweet and beautiful life, and may the
warm sunshine of its late afternoon,
long continue to cheer and brighten
her joyous steps onward to the celestial
city.

Their Differences Adjusted.
Apparently the “crossing” trouble at
Wilson Point, in which the Tramway
company and the Standard Oil com-
pany have been at cross purposes for
some time 1, ast,was settled at the select-
men’s office yesterday afternoon. Rep-
resentatives of both companies, after
being heard by the selectmen, signed

.- ii PRIGHflL FALL,
Harry English Tumbles Fifty Feet
. Down Through a Chimney. '
His injuries Liable to Prove Fatal.
For some weeks past a. crowd of
youngsters, varying in age from ten to
sixteen years, have made the Simond’s’
foundry buildings on Mechanic street,
a. playground. The buildings are un-
occupied and of a. nature that permit of
many dare-devil feats, to which the
average boy is prone to take advantage
of.
From the ground near the center of
the buildings there rises a brick chim-
‘ ney to the height of nearly a hundred
feet. At the‘foot of this chimney is a
small man-hole, and inside is an iron
ladder that reaches to the t0p of the
chimney.
‘It has been the practice of some of
the more daring of the youngsters to
crawl through the hole and ascending
to the top of the ladder walk on the
topmost edges of the chimney.
Late yesterday afternoon, Harry
English, aged about eleven years, em-
ployed at the Western Union Telegraph
office as a messenger boy, in company
with a lad named Willie Phillips,ascend-
ed to the top of the chimney by means
of the ladder, English’s young brother
Willie and some other lads awaiting
their return at the foot of the chimney.
After a while the lads were startled
by hearing something strike the ground
with a thud, and stooping down and
looking through the man hole, saw
Harry English lying at the base of the
chimney. Willie succeededin pulling
the unconscious form of his brother
through the aperature while another
boy ran for assistance, to the Telegraph
ofiice.
Manager John H. Hoyt immediately
repaired to the scene and picking th e
unfortunate lad up in his arms, carried
him to the home of,his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. William P. English, near by, and
then started out to summon a physician.
Dr. S. H. Huntington responded to a
telephone call and after having exam-
ined the lads injuries found them to be
of such a serious nature that he deemed
1‘t advisable to have him transferred to
the hospital, where he could be treated
for the same under better conditions.
A coach was summoned and the boy
taken to the hOSpital, where. it was
found that he had suffered an ugly cut
fully six inches long on the top of his
head, and that the frontal bone over
his left eye had been fractured. Pieces
of bone that threatened to penetrate the
brain were removed and the wounds
prescribed for with surgical skill.
It is not known definitely what- caus-
ed the lad to fall, or the distance he
fell, but it is believed that he was fully
half way up the interior of the chimney
when he was thrown to the ground.
The Phillips boy who accompanied
English up the chimney, says that the
latter was about twenty-five feet below
him on the ladder when the accident
occurred. He also says, “Somehow a
brick came out of the chimney near
where I was, and fell. I called out to
Harry to look out, there was a brick
coming. I suppose it must have hit
him and knocked him off the ladder.”
The nature of the wound would seem
to bear out this supposition. Whether
the lad landed on his head or not will
probably never be known, as certainly
the Phillips boy could not say, and
none of the lads at the base of the
chimney could tell, It is fair to pre-
sume that he did not strike on his head
for had this been the fact, falling the
distance he did, he would no doubt
have broken his neck.
English did not regain consciousness
until some hours after the accident, but
at 8 o’ciock this morning was reported
as being bright and cheerful.
Dr. Huntington visited his patient in
the hospital, this forenoon, and reports
the boy getting along nicely, and says
that he has a “fighting chance” for re-
covery, although it will be a day or two
before the chances for or against recov-
ery can be determined. The little fel-
low complained of being homesick and
evidently was unaware of the serious-
ness of his injuries.
New “Consolidated” Depot.
Thomas S. Bassford appeared before
the board of street opening and im-
provement in New York, yesterday, on
behalf of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railrord company. He said
that the company owned a large tract
of land north of One Hundred and
Forty-ninth street, on the Harlem
River, which had been laid out in
streets. He asked to have the streets
elimiminated, as it was the intention of
the New York New Haven Sr Hartford
Company to build a large passenger and
freight terminal depot on the land.
A map amending the final maps was
submitted by Commissioner Hafl‘en.
Comptroller Fitch approved the map
and upon his motion it was adopted.

'Le Grand’s Son, Eugene, Says He.
Got None Of It.
Sues l-iis Brother and James H.
Benedict for an Accounting.
The New York Sun of this morning
prints the following which will be of
Interest to Norwalk people as the Lock-
wood family were for many years resi-
dents of this place:
Edwin Eugene Lockwook, of Hous-
ton, Tex., unmarried, and 30 years old,
presented three petitions through Law-
yers Leeds, Patrick & Ironsides to Sur-
rogate Fitzgerald yesterday asking for
accountings from different persons who
had had charge of the estate of Le
Grand Lockwood. Le Grand Lock—
wood died in 1873, and it is declared
that there has never been an account-
ing of his estate.
LeGrand Lockwood was a New York
banker of large wealth. He' built a
house at Norwalk which is said to have
cost a million dollars, and which at the
time was considered one of the finest
residences in the New World. His
widow, Ann Louise Lockwood, survived
him. She was a sister of James H.
Benedict and E. C. Benedict, the
brokers. The five children were:
Le Grand Lockw00d, Jr., deceased;
Williston B. Lockwood, who is con-
nected with Roswell P. Flower’s firm:
Henry B. Lockwood, Mrs. Florence I.
Reclfield, and Edwin Eugene Lockwood,
the petitioner.
By the will of L-eGraud Lockwood,
Sr., his widow was to take a third of
his estate abSUlutely. and tho two-thirds
were to —go to the five children, each
child getting his slmro on coming of
age. The widow has appointed sole
administratrix. She qualified and ex-_
ercised the functions until her death in
1882. There is no record of an account-
ing or an inventory. ' The mother died
before Edwin came of age and he never
received anything under his father’s
will, and he avers that he does not
know what the estate amounted to or
what any of his brothers or his sister
received therefrom, if anything. In a
list of wealthy persons and of large
estates published in the'Tribune‘ in
1882, the estate of Lockwood was put
at $1,000,000. In an account of estates
subject to the income tax published in
another paper on Oct. 7 last this estate
was also put at $1,000,000. It is said,
however, that Lockwood lost heavily
shortly before his death.
On the death of Mrs. Lockwood, her
son, LeGrand Lockwood, Jr. qualified
as executor under her will. No one
since the death of Mrs. Lockwood has
been appointed to administer on the
estate of her husband. Mrs. Lockwood
lived in California several years after
her husband’s death. and purchased
property there. Sheleft all her prop-
erty to her children. Edwin Eugene
Lockwood received his share of the
California property under the will of
his mother, and sold it to his brother,
Henry B. Lockwood, for $1,200. That
is all he received from his mother’s
estate. Le Grand Lockwood, Jr., died
in 1888, and James H. Benedict, who
had been named as one of the executors
under the will of his sister, Mrs. Lock-
wood, but who had not qualified, quali-
fied soon after his death, as executor of
his sister’s will. No accounting of
the estate of Mrs. Lockwood has been
filed.
Edwin Eugene Lockwood asks in the
three petitions: ‘
’l‘hat Mrs. Kate E. Lockwood, widow
of Le Grand Lockwood, Jr., and ex-
ecutor of her husband’s will, account
for the estates of her husband and
those of his mother and father.
That James H. Benedict account for
the estate of Ann Louisa Lockwood.
That Benedict account for the estate
of Le Grand Lockwood, Sr.
Kate H. Lockwood and James H.
ceived any property of the estate
of Le Grand Lockwood, Sr. or of his
widow, and have nothing to account
for. They also. set up the statute. of
limitations, holding that no accounting
could be asked for after six years after
the year of their appointment as ex-
ccutors.

Paine’s celery amino the the “twin Remedy That

Physicians PreScribe it, Use it. and Advise People to Take it in Preference
to Anything Else in April and May, Because It Purifies thegBlood, , '
Feeds the Brain and Strengthens the Nerves.
Paine’s celery compound is not a
patent medicine.
No class of professional men are
more conservative, more careful in giv-
ing advice, or more painstaking in find-
ing out the real facts of a case than
physicians. ,
Their recommendation in matters
with which they are conversant is trust-
worthy. Wheu physicians of known
repute not only prescribe and use, but
also bring home Paine’s celery com-
pound for their own families, there can
be no doubt of its high standing in the
eyes of medical men in general.
This is what busy, successful practi-
tioners are doing these Spring days all
over the country.
Paine’s celery compound is prepared,
as they ail well know, from the form-
ula of the foremost physician of this
century, Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M.
D., LL. D., of Dartmouth medical
school. Among medical men there 18
an absolute certainty as to just what
Paine’s celerycompound is capable of
doing. The careful record of the vast
number of cases where it has made peo-
ple well has been published in the med-
ical journals of the country. .
Paine’s celery compound stands to-
day as the one thoroughly authenticat-
ed remedy for weakness and debility
due to malnutrition of the nervous sys-
tem and impure blood.
This hard working, earnest class of
professional men have never been slow
in accepting Paine’s celery compound.
They declare that it gives the tired
body every possible chance to get back
to a. healthy condition. It cures ner-
vous weakness, heart palpitation, gen-.
eral lack of strength, and all forms of
weakness ; rests and restores the jaded,
.fatigued brain and nerves, because it
provides for the abnormal waste of
these parts by an unusually prompt
supply of appropriate nerve food. It
purifies the blood as nothing else can
do.

with frequent headaches, and every
business man made anxious by pain at
the base of the brain and neuralgia

pound, the world would tze lightened of
a vast deal of misery that ought never
to be borne.
The most advanced medical thought
of the latter quarter of the 19th century
has prepared Paine’s celery compound
to meet and overcome these troubles
that are due to ill-fed, ill—regulated
nerves, and poor, t‘iin blood.
N. N. Leaneard, M. D., of Charles-
town, Mass., whose portrait appears
above, one of the ablest physicians in
the Boston district, a man of character
and influence, says:
“After using Paine’s celery compound
for four or five years in my general
practice, I can cheerfully recommend
it. For catarrh of head or stomach,
for instance, it acts like a charm. For
women in many cases it isa blessing.
For chronic rheumatism it does give
relief. Torpid liver, general debility,
constipation, pains in stomach and loss
of appetite it relieves, and is the best
of remedies in general nervous prostra-
tion. I recommend it to many of my
patients, believing, as I do. in its real
merits. I believe it a public blessing
to invalids, and, as yet, not fully appre-
ciated.” ‘
J. C. Flynn, M'. D., a well-known
Michigan physician, is but one of hun-
dreds who prescribe Paine’s celery com-
pound because it cures. Writing from
Warren, in that state, he says: “I use
Paine’s celery compound freely in my
practice as a nerve tonic, blood purifier
and general tonic in all debilitated con-
ditions of the system. Ifind it a fine
thing for patients recovering from the
grip, especially old people.”

W. W. Hihbard, M. D., of Poultney,

peated attacks of the grip, and my
stomach, bowels, and kidneys were out
of order. I had‘no'strength, energy or
ambition to think or act, and was ex~
cessively nervous and irritable. After
