Vol. VI. Whole N0. 1487 BIG GELEBEATIONE— in Honor of the Victory for Sound Money and Good Government. At Bridgeport, Westport and New Canaan Over two hundred people from this city and South Norwalk witnessed the big sound money parade in Bridgeport last night. There were nearly 4,000 people in the procession which included hundreds of gold democrats. The Gold Legion of New Haven carried ofi' the honors of the night. All along the route they were applauded and commended for their fine appearance. ‘ The parade consumed one hour and a quarter in passing one point. It trav- ersed over seven miles of street. Among those who reviewed the marchers and rode in the parade were Governor elect Cooke, Congressman Hill of Norwalk, Hon. Samuel Fessenden, Senator Mari- gold and many others recently elected to state offices. ' Four-fifths of the houses along the line of march were handsomely decorated and illuminated. The factories of any size throughout the city were represented by distinct delegations. Two accidents of no seri- ous nature marked the demonstration. , A wheel was taken off the carriage in which Henry M. Bishop, purchasing agent for the Consolidated road, was riding, but his injuries, though painful, were not serious. A bicycle rider was rundown by a saddle horse and his wheel ruined. ‘ The Philharmonic band headed the first division and the; Wheeler S: Wilson the fifth division. The Second Regi- ment band of New Haven headed the Gold Legion. Besides these there were drum corps innumerable. TEE wasrronr PARADE. The sound money men made a de- monstration in Westport last night un- equalled in the history of the town. A large contingent of Norwalk people were present some of whom took part in the procession. Residences along the line of march were brilliantly illu- minated, and the night was made bright as day by the burning of red fire and shooting of rockets and Roman candles. The procession was headed by Dwyer’s City of Norwalk band, and it was a demonstrative one. There were floats, tower wagons and a burning of fireworks that was as dazzling as it was bright. Hundreds of citizens were in the procession, which included bicycle riders, fantastics, cavalry, and a “big crowd of the small boy” who is as ubiquitous as a newspaper reporter. After the parade refreshments were served and as one of the paraders- re- marked “it would make a man hungry to look at it.” There were salads, chick- en, turkey, ham, beans, and a variety of cakes, pies, etc. that seemed to have no end. Parades that were glittering,startling, bewildering, illuminating, thundering and demonstrating were held on the same night at Danbury and New Oa- naan.‘ At the latter place it seemed as if the whole town was ufi e in n blaze of glory and enthusiasm. it u m a coun- try parade, but right up to date in every detail. A more patriotic place is not on the list of Connecticut towns. .0. A Romance of Coon Hollow. “A Romance of Coon Hollow,” is one of the largest dramatic organiza- tions on the road. Besides a magnifi- cent equipment of scenic, calcium and ,electrical effects, and a strong acting company, the troupe carries a brass band, abattalion of colored boy and girl buck dancers, and two quartettes. The electrical effects, showing the features of a night in a southern coun- try place are both novel and pretty. Atroupe of darkey make and female plantation dancers, two colored quar- tettes and a plantation brass band add volume to the entertainments. “A Romance of Coon Hollow” is a com- plete production, all of the scenery be- ing carried. It will be seen at the Opera House to-night. Norwalk Opera House. The Marie Sanger extravaganza will appear for one performance, Saturday, November 14th, in one of the most novel performances ever witnessed, giving three styles of entertainment. The company carries thirty people and. is headed by Miss Nettie Von Brig and ' Miss Ettie Albion, England’s burlesque Itars. Fatally injured. Charles H. Upperman, who has a daughter who is a pupil at Miss Baird’s young ladies institute in this city, re- ceived frightful injuries by being struck by a train at Weehawken, Monday ' night. ' ' ANNUITY GUILD. ' First Annual Meeting of the Connecticut Teachers’ Guild. The first annual meeting of the board of Trustees of the Connecticut Teach- ers’ Annuity guild was held at Hartford Saturday. The following officers were elected: Premdent, N. 0. Bishop, Nor- wich; vice-president, S. P. Davis, Hart- ford; treasurer, Joseph A. Graves, Hartford; financial secretary, Miss C. Hopkins, Norwich; recording, F. A. Verplanck, South Manchester. A large number of applications for membership were acted upon, several being re- jected. The guild now has 300 members and about $3,000 in its treasury. Each member pays an initiation fee of $3 and ayearly assessment .of 1 per cent. of salary. After three years from now those who have made their first annual payments and become incapacitated for teaching, or have taught for 30 years will be entitled to receive an annuity equal to 50 per cent. of silary last re- ceived. After this year, persons who have taught school for over 15, years will not be eligible to membership. The guild is designed to provide a com- fortable living in later years for those who have “taught the young idea how to shoot.” 0. The Boy Celebrated. A youngster living in Winnipauk had a little celebration of his own last eve- ning. He secured a match and started a small bonfire at the edge of the woods near the Grindrod place, owned by the Lewis Raymond estate. The fire exceeded the lad’s most sanguine ex- pectations. The flames spread and be- fore they were extinguished had burned over twelve acres of land. The skies were illuminated for miles around, and the lurid light attracted the atten- tion of many people. The youngster is not especially proud today of his achievement. .One of his chums says, “It was a corker,” and it indeed was something like that. .0 Christian Endeavor Union. The twelfth annual conference of the State Christian Endeavor Union opened in New London yesterday. Twenty- five hundred delegates were present from the various societies representing a total membership of 30,000. The meetings surpass anything ever attempted at a previous convention. The huge platform is filled with palms. Back of the President’s desk is the choir platform, on which is a chorus of 150 voices which led the singing at the morning session. .- Dropped Dead. As Augustus Taylor who lives on the old Westport road was driving up West avenue last evening, his horse suddenly stopped and fell to the ground, wreck- ing the shafts of the wagon. Before Mr. Taylor could get out of the wagon the animal died, and in a short time after was on its way to the Toner bone conservatory on the Dry Hill road, on one of Hanlon’s stoueboats. A Worthy Disciple. George H. Raymond, a worthy dis- ciple of Izak Walton, and a man who would rather fish than eat, went down the harbor yesterday, and before re- turning home had hooked a few less than a boat load of tautogs. Unlike many fishermen he always presents a majiorpart of his catch to his friends. This time he didn’t forget the reporter. O. Are in Bridgeport. Chief, Bradley, Captain Dann and Officers Morehouse, Kenney and Bar- tram, Attorneys Gregory and Walsh, andahalfa score or more Witnesses, are in Bridgeport today at the trial of the case of the State vs. Mrs. Philip Mason. Mrs. Mason is charged with keeping a house with a bad reputation. _ ———-——<—..—-———- A Sure Pedietion. .

HER SEGOND LEGTURE Mrs. Norris Entertains an Ap- preciative Audience at the Central Club. The Evening “At Home” a Success. Mrs. Norris’s second lecture upon “Reading and Voice Culture”was given yesterday morning. The assembly rooms were filled, and the attention and interest of the audience was marked. It is a rare treat simply to listen to our'ianguage spoken with such elegance and precision, and an opportunity which ought not to be ne- glected to have the practical teaching Mrs. Norris knows so well how to give. Mrs. Norris has made herself a most valuable member of our community, and has endeared herself to it by her ready and gracious manner of placing her gifts and culture at its service. The programme for the evening “At Home" was in the hands of Mrs. Giffer, and consisted of several numbers by Mrs. Norris and by Mr. Frank Com- stock, which were enthusiastically en- cored. The refreshment table was presided over by Mrs. Francis Leonard, who was assisted by Mrs. George Lockwood, and Mrs. Richard Golden. The wait- resses were Miss Hebbard, Miss Cram and Miss Leonard. The ladies were in beautiful gowns and made a charming picture. The table was decorated with lovely sprays of the soft clematis smoke‘ wreath, and was made especially hand’ some by a magnificent cut glass punch- bowl and ladle. “Games” this week will be Friday evening. ' ' May Leave Attachments 0n. Bicyclists will be interested in an order issued by the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, rescinding an earlier order compelling all'bicyclists asba‘ggage, all"'"cyclometers, bells and other attachments, or to sign a paper to the effect that the company would not be held reaponsible for the attach- ments if left on the wheels. The order was rescinded Monday morning, and now all the articles may be left on the wheels without the owners having to sign a waiver. co. Baptist Ladies Meet. The autumn meeting of the Women’s Baptist Foreign Missionary Conference of Southwestern Connecticut, which comprises forty mission circles, inclu- ding thosoof New Haven and Meriden. was held in the Baptist church Stam— ford, yesterday. ’ ' The morning session opened at 10:30 with a devotional service conducted by Mrs. G. W. Nicholson, of Bridgeport, and consisted of a hymn, Scripture reading and prayer by Mrs. R, O. Sher- wood, of South Norwalk. A Narrow Escape. Once a careless man went to the cel- lar and stuck the candle in what he thought wasa keg of black sand. He sat near it drinking wine until the candle burned low. Nearer it got to the black sand—nearer and nearer, until the‘blaze reached the black Sand: and as it was nothing but black sand, nothing happened. But he went to see Lillian Kennedy that night in “The Deacon’s Daughter.” O. “The Deacon’s Daughter.” This play is presented by one of' the cleverest companies in existence, every one of them being especially selected fortheir adaptability in portraying the character they represent. The star, Miss Lillian Kennedy, is the brightest ingenu soubrette in America, and in this comedy she has a role which gives full scope to her wonderful versatility. ‘~ Has Made an Assignment. Edward C. Hoffman until within a short time the proprietor of the Wheel- men’s Rest in Fairfield, has, made an assignment in insolvency to Sheriff Peter Doolan. The list of assets filed with the probate court shows that he is worth'just $675. The liabilities amount to $1,091. ‘ Westward Ho. Col. F. St. John Lockwood left as yesterday for a fortnight’s or so excur- sion to‘ Ohio and Michigan. He will eat his Thankgiving turkey with his daughter’s family at Bad Axe,Michigan, and then his himself back to his Sound Money and patriotic old- Connecticut home. I ~‘ A Councilman Fined.

EDITOR GAZETTE:—Your correspond- ent’s, (The Bridge), reply to my obser- vations, imparts information which was not generally known dewn here. I was not aware that any “committee,” as he says, went up town to ask that your people join us. It must have been a self-appointed body, but it is now of no consequence. Letthe dead past bury its dead. The victory Was a grand one, and what is grander still, was won by the aid of honest, God-fearing demo- crats, as well as by republicans; May patriotism ever rise above partizanship. Your Bridge contributor says there is no unpleasant-noes up there. We down here are glad to know it. If any feel- ing of “jealousy” exists down here, against any section of our whole town, it is limited to persons of the baser sort. Iam sure a large proportion of our best citizens and largest property hold- ers, would favor and would aid, our two able representatives and our‘ alert level-headed senator Keeler, to get such a law passed by the coming legis- lature as would unite the entirelown in the matrimonial bonds of a single city to be called NORWALK. East Norwalk, West Norwalk, Broad River, Silver Mine, Winnipauk and Cranbury, could be fairly and properly made wards of the then big city, and the relative proportions of taxes be justly apportioned as to the municipal advantages, of pavements, sewers, water, lights, police, etc., enjoyed by such wards, as is frequently done now- a-days in many places, heretofore out. lying and purely farming districts. Nor would it require the subtlety of a life insurance agent to cyphur out the fair proportion of our present two cities' assets and indebtedness, so that the so much to be desired union of our twin cities should never suffer from any feeling of either section bear- ing an unfair proportion of taxation. . To the outside world, we are now notoriously made ridiculous, by having two cities of Norwalk in the town of Norwalk, and the confusion and farce, ought to be ended by creating one decent sized and properly recognized . city on the map of the State and Nation and in the minds of the people. Let a judicious committee be raised at once, in both cities, to consider such a union, and if agreed upon, let the coming legislature seal our marriage vows and make all the Norwalks, as your correspondent saysfi“one and in- separable.” . OLD WELL. Nov. 11, 1896. I. BURNED TO THE GROUND. South Norwalk, Cause Attributed to this Morning’s Fire. No Special The residence of Mr. and Mrs. Pat- rick Troy in Bethel was burned nearly to. the ground early this morning, 1:30 o’clock being the time given as that when the alarm was sent in. The place is believed to be insured. Election Expenditures.

H. Pease, chairman of the repub- lican town committee of the town of New Britain received $12,729.37 and ex‘ pended $2,540.86. The Election In Wyoming. CHEYENNE, Wy., Nov. 11.—No further Wyoming returns have been received here. Both parties have sent representatives in- to Big Horn county to watch the canvass- ing of the vote. It is probable that a con- test will be made in the congressioiial election, as irregularities and violations of the election law are charged by both par- ties. Sari Francisco Glass works Resume. , SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11.—The San Francisco Glass works, which have been closed down for’many months, will re- sume operations tomorrow, giving en‘giloy- ment to about 250 men and women. The proprietors report a great number of or- ders received since the election. The Chilean Situation. LONDON, Nov. 11.--The Times has a dispatch from Santiago de Chile which says that the commercial situation does not improve, but that the scheme for the conversion of the currency to a gold basis is safe, in spite of the resignation of the ministry. _ ' "‘v‘n‘r ' I. irritation HERE All.

How miserably distressed “Gallant Joe Hawley” will feel should he .ever learn that the old malignant of Isaacs Place is “agin” him, also. ' Judge Wheeler has made the tem. porary injunction restraining three trolley companies from building a line between New Britain and Hartford, permanent.
