'..___—-—-—-— Highway Superintendent Kellogg started in with a gang of nine men the I morning, ’to open up the Mill Hill 1m- provement operations. . The work started in front of the James Mallory homestead, where. the cobblestones use}:1 in the gutter were taken up and re’hibyed for future use. To-morrow, the cityexpects to have a force of twenty more men, with 'dirt- carts, ploughs, scrapers and the like, at work on the Lockwoods’ homesteads cuts, etc. All the men and animals will be put to work, that can economically ‘ ' be employed, so as to hurry along the important work to its earliest possible completion. A majority of those having property rights affected, seem to accept the situ- ‘. ation with the same wisdom and gene- rous public spirit shown by Mr. M. DeF. “ accept and receipt for his award. The few who feel that they have not received adequate remuneration for their property taken, and prepare to contest the question in the courts, are understood not to oppose any needless opposition to the rapid progress of the work now entered upon. The money, in each case, has been tendered, and whenever decliued, the amount deposited to the credit of such party, and all other legal requirements complied with. Now that this all too long delayed improvement has commenced, let every one show their good citizenship by helping along the good work to an early completion. ' . »- , Oyster Curiosities. Civil Enxingerfiavidv- C. Sanford of thefshéll‘r'l's‘lleriée commission has be- gun to make his collection for an exhi- 'bition of‘the oyster growing industry . to be shown at‘the Danbury Fair this ’ 3 fall, Mr. Sanford’s exhibition at"Dan- .bury last fall was awarded a diploma fer general excellence, Last year, al- though the exhibition included a num- V be! of curiosities, it was devoted in the ’ main to an exposition of the business of oyster growing. This year, although he will give some attentiOn to that fea. ture,"'he will make a special feature of the curiosities found by the fishermen, of which he has' already collected a large and interesting assortment. It will include oysters of a peculiar and abnormal growth, a number of peculiar ‘ things on which their set is developed—— things lost overboard from passing ves- sels—and will also‘deal extensively with the enemies of the oyster and their ef‘ r fect upon them if not checked by the growers. It is expected that the expo- sition will be on a larger and more in- teresting scale than last year. WestpcrtZBicycle Races. . , The prizes for the film-pct road races are announced.

' BIKE THIEF CAUGHT. Was Trying to‘Dispose of the .Wheel When Appre- ‘ hended. The Young Man Thought to be Insane. A young man giving his name as John Fender and residence Santa Cruz, Cal- ifornia, was arrested by Officer Rear- don in South Norwalk last night on;sus-_ picion of having stolen a bicycle which he was trying to sell. He had gone to Hafi‘uer’s store at 'the_ east end of the' Washington street bridge and offered to sell the bicycle- for 815,. stating that he had paid $90 for the wheel but found it too hard to learn to ride. Mr. Hafi'ner trecognized the wheel 'as being a high grade machine and offered to purchase it at the price , ‘ . which some one. in the audience pro- named. , . On the plea of obtaining the money Haffner went to. South N orwalk and informed Chief Vollmer that he was of the opinion that the. machine had been stolen. In the meantime Fender became either suspicious or tired of waiting and was preparing to leave when a young man named Hawley offered to go with him in search of Hafi'ner and the money. Fender was willing and the two walked over. to South Norwalk. On Washington street they met Officer Reardon and as they came up with him, Hawley whispered to the officer that his companion Was a bicycle thief. Bear- don at once placed him under arrest and took him to the station house. As soon as arrested Fender gave all the evi- dence of being insane or suffering from the effects of a bottle of whiskey which he carried in his pocket. Soon after Chief ,Vollmer arrived at headquarters Salvator Chariot, the con- tractor, arrived and complained that his bicycle had been stolen from the yard of Robert Pearson on Woodward ave‘ nue. He was shown the wheel taken from Fender and ‘at once identified it as his. ”Chariot assassins-rem or the Italian boys employed by him to carry water to. his men working on the Meadow street sewer had seen Fender with the wheel and asked him where he got it, to which Fender replied that he had purchased it for $35. ‘ Fender was brought before Judge: Frost, this morning, and pleaded guilty and was bound over under bonds of $500, failing to obtain which he was taken to Bridgeport jail. ' When a GAZETTE reporter attempted to interview the prisoner this morning, he gave every evidence of being insane. He was dressed in a black suit, and wore a cheap whitesweater. He said he came to Norwalk from a small town down the road‘, evidently referring to Darien. .State Baptist Convention. The state Baptist convention will be one of the big conventions to be held in New London this fall. The-date of the meeting is Oct. 21 and'23. This meet- ~ ing is unquestionably the most import- ant in the history of the Baptist de- nomination. The first session is de‘voted to the meeting of the Baptist ministers of the state, who read essays and discuss the same. The evening service is given up to the Baptist young people, as are also the two or three hours of the next morning, after which is held the meet— ing of the state Baptist convention. ....__———-——- TheHerry Five. - _, The Merry Five with 255 of their friendscame up from New York yes- terday and partook bf one of Land- lord O’Sullivan’s celebrated shore” dinners at Gregory’s Point. It was not their first visit to this popular resort nor will it be their last. Among the party was Thomas, J.

Delegates Elected to the Convention. That the gold standard DemOcracy has many adherents in New Haven was apparent last night, when, despite the unfavorable weather, upwards of 1,500 people gathered at the Hyperion thea- tre to participate in the deliberations of the gold standard convention and.~give endorsement to the spirit of the -con- vention by Democrats who feel they cannot support the Chicago platfo'rm.’ Judge Lynde Harrison presided. Hon. Lewis Sperry, of Hartford, was the first speaker. Mr. Sperry began his remarks by taking up a question pounded, ,“What is sound money?”. He was frequently interrupted by re- marks from persons in the audience who were evidently in favor of the sil- ver doctrine. He proceeded to a tech- nical discussion of the currency ques- tion, and detailed the history of the United States coinage elaborately, and concluded his-remarks by asserting that the need of the hour was the defeat of free silver and the defeat of any man who offers himself on that platform. 00]. John R. Fellows of New York, followed Mr. Sperry. and began by say- ing: “If I were to give a single reason for my position, I should say I stand where I do because I am a Democrat, and because I desire to remain such. The platform promulgated at Chicago is treason to Democracy. Col. Fellows then said he denied the- right to any man to assemble and strip from him his principles, claiming he was no bolter, but they who asserted that they were bolters were themselves the heretics. “I deny the masses. and classes cry,” he continued. “There are no classes or masses in this repub-. dic." At ‘the‘close‘rpf C.ol.'Fellows’*remarks delegates to' the Indianapolis conven- tioniwere elected as follows: Ex-Gov. New London; Zalm'on” Goodsell, Gunn, Milford, 'BridgeportrR‘obert J.

The Etna Life Company. The progress of this company since its organizition in 1850 has been a re- markably steady one; rising with the growth of years from small beginnings, to a business which has'placed it in the front rank of Life Insurance. Its present assets are upwards of $43,000,000, and this substantial exhi— bit, which by a comparison of assets and liabilities gives the company a clear surplus by the 4 per cent standard of Connecticut“ of nearly $7,000,000, has been brought about by able and careful management, which is always the surest guarantee of success. Never atany time has the company been more prudently conducted than now; few companies indeed, have the benefit of so much'ability and good judgement as distinguish its president, ex-Govern- or Morgan G. Bulkeloy, as a life insur- ance manager and financier. . The Etna Life is one of the most solid and straightforward of our life companies. It bears an honored'name, and hears it - honorably. It ,gives everything that is desirable in life in- surance, and gives abundantly that which .is most desirable—security. Beadpits advertisement in another‘ column. ‘ . __.____.... Tracks Over Noroton Hill.
