Selleck was in re- ceipt of a letter this morning from Helena, Montana, containing a coat of arms of the old Cannon family of Nor- walk. It may be incorporated in Mr. Selleck’s History of Norwalk. The medalion in the center of the piece of heraldry consists of a man who is in the act of firing an old fashioned can- non. Mr. Selleck inclines to the belief that the medalion part was taken from an engraving to be found upon some ancient silver service belonging to the Cannon family. The motto is “Firmz'or guo Patratz'or.” .0 A Pointer for Norwalk. ,The new bridge at Padanaram is com- pleted. It is a new idea in bridges in this section, but it appears to be a great improvement on the bridges that have hitherto been built here. It is a combination iron and concrete structure that looks as if it might last almost until the'end of time. The girders are twen- ty-two inches in depth. Between the girders are spring-steel arches upon which is laid twenty inches of concrete made of broken stone and the best qual- ity of Portland cement. Upon the co- ment is an eight-inch coat of gravel.— Danbury News. 0. The Aetna.

A regular meeting of Our Brothers’ Lodge, I. O. O. F. was held last even- ing and is said to have been of an unus- ually interesting nature. It is not often that the doings in a. lodge-room are noticed as possessing. any special features, but this the reporter ventures to say was not the rule last evening. The third degree was conferred. The candidate was Theodore Smith who has been a member of the lodge for some twenty-three years, but for some un- known reason has failed to take the other degrees. Oddly enough the de- gree last night- was conferred with his son Irving 0. Smith as Noble Grand. Hence the reporter is inclined to call it a .feature of the meeting of Our Brothers, on the evening of November 21th. Washington Chapter, No. 21, R. A. M. will hold a special convocation, Wednesday night. Clinton Commandery, No. 3, Knights Templar will hold a special oonclave, next Friday evening and confer the Temple degree. 0 AMUSEMENTS. The Westerner. A crowded house was present at Hoyt’s Theatre last night to witness the presentation of “The Westerner” by McAulifl’e and Greens. Of the princi- pals it is unnecessary to speak as they are no strangers to Norwalk theatre- goers. They are both artists. The company supporting is a good one and each member presented the part as- signed them acceptably. To-night the same company will pre- sent “I‘he Bowery of New York.” New York World’s Original Yellow Kid. Announcements regarding Hogan’s Alley have no bearing upon “The Yel- low Kid-ot Hogan’s Alley.” This is a distinctly different attraction. It is a complete three-act comedy, local to New York city, written by T. D. Miles, a man well-known as the author of “A Turkish Bath” and other successful plays, sent out under the auspices of the New York World, and produced by a company the names of which patrons are requested to notice. It is hoped the public will not confound this Thanksgiving attraction with any Ho- gan’s Alley company and that each has a proper hearing and that each stand on its merits. \g .x .__———- V i1 Mr. Barnes of New York. “Mr. Barnes of New York” was pre— sented at the Norwalk Opera House last night.

Three Delinquents Captured. . ,. Special officer Thomas Hunt was out on his bicycle late yesterday afternoon looking for bicycle riders who were not conforming with. the city ordinance in reference to having lanterns on their bicycles after sundown. He captured three, among the number being a young lady, and confiscated their wheels which he took to police heanquarters as a guarantee for the owners’ appearance for a hearing this morning, in the Town Court. One of the victims of misplaced con- fidence was Fred Elma, time of arrest, 5:45; the other, Harry Benedict, time of arrest, 6:30; the young lady was ap- which he paid, Benedict’s case was con- tinued, and the case against the young lady was nolled. This ought to prove a warning to all bicycle riders as it has been very much in evidence of late that the city ordin- ance is being violated, and it is pro- posed now to have it rigidly enforced. OD Willie’s Surprise. . Willie Cahill was the victim of a sur- prise party at his home on River street last evening. And it was a genuine surprise to him. Thirty or more of his friends had assembled, he, the victim, having been sent out 'of town on an er- rand, who met him on his return and carried him into his home as though he were a turkey whom they wished to “roast” for the happiness of all.

OUARRY FOOTPRINTS. Made by Triassic Period Monster—Wes- leyan’s Rare Acquisition. . The specimen of footprints sec nred by Wesleyan from the Middlesex quar- ry at Portland is one of the finest in the possession of any college. The slab of brownstone is 11 feet long and a little over three feet wide and upon the sur- face are five large footprints of the oc- tozoum moodii, a strange animal that lived in this vicinity during the triassic period of the world’s history. These footprints are casts of the impressions made by the hind feet of the animal, as ‘ the monster walked mostly on its hind feet, its forelegs eing much shorter than the hind legs. The beauty of this specimen is that the structure of the scaly covering of the footpads is shown distinctly in each impression. ' Erom the same quarry another slab was obtained which illustrates finely the faulting of rock structure, being a vertical displacement of the strata and re-formation of it into rock again. woo Her Seventh Anniversary.
