Decoration Day.

The pine and palm are one tO-day
Beneath a halcyon sun,

The colors of the blue and gray
Have blended into one; I

The bayonets, to plowshares turned,
In peaceful sods are thrust,

And cannon in the fields inurned—
Their mouths are stopped with rust.

One brotherhood rules all the land,-
One nation day and night, ' '

As side by side again we stand

_ Like those who scale a height—

And looking dOWn across the fields
When autumn pours her horn,

We bless the largess peace now yields,
The cotton and the corn.

NO more shall these our banners be
In strife fraternal raised, '

From lake to gulf, from sea to sea,
This message far is blazed:

“We mourn our dead, our loved and
10513, a

With tears for all who fell;
The blue sky’s depth, the gray Stars’
host

Shall be their sentinel.”

For Lexington and Concord town
Still in the distance shine,

And Washington still marches down,
And ruthless Brandywine;

And Grant and Lee in silence rest,
To put all feud to scorn,

While spring from out the battle’s
breast

The cotton and the corn.
0 '——"—_ ,:

Be sunny, my soul, my so‘iil, for the
glory recalled tO-day,

Be thoughtful and thankful and sing
to Heaven, true brothers blue and
gray.

For the flag we love so well is waving
to-day for all,

And every patriot, north and south,
would answer in love its call

To fight for the land now one, divid-
ed with hate no more, ~
But strong and steady, alert and
ready to hurl all foes from its

shore.

/ Recalling the days Of blood, death’s
whirlpools circled with flame,
The land does homage to heroes all

inscribed on its scrolls of fame.
So follow the tattered flags which
sway to the fife and drum,
And cheer the straggling ranks in

blue as the gallant veterans come. ,

SO many are maimed and old, with
time-worn faces and forms, .

But the fires of patriot ardor burned
through " a thousand ills and
storms.

Both blue and gray now mix in the
garb, the beards and hair,

And under all the sturdy souls and
resolute hearts beat there. . _
Let children cheer and sing, while
scattering fragrant flowers, -

‘ The echoes wake and the whole world
ring as we honor these braves of
ours.

Each blossom a scented prayer, with
lessons of hope abloom,

And each a tinted .pledge of faith to
brighten the warrior’s tomb. .
Calm sleep once warring hosts where

mingles their kindred dust,

 

 

All hates annulled. the swords are
dulled, and cannon are red with
rust. ' '

But the memories all Shine bright,
though the bayonets clash no
more, ' '

We write in blossom and song to-days
the courageous deeds of yore.
And lay on the altars green, our trib-

utes on sacred sod, '

To send’ in the Odorous incense‘up,

our praises and prayers to God.

the newborn days are glad,
though we jewel these tombs with
tears.

They sowed the harvests we have
reaped through glorious peaceful
years.

Clasp hearts, 0 stalwart men, who
struggled in blue or gray,

N 0 true soul prates or nourishes hates

to poison Memorial day.

Be happy, 0 glorious land, the laurel
and palm entwine,

Safe, safe at last, the fierce storm
past, all promise and hope are
thine.

Be grateful, patriot heart, no battle
thy prospect mars,

The constellation on thy flag now
sparkles with promise stars.

The Bit Broke.
AS Fred Alger and son were driving
down Riverside avenue, this morning,
and when in front of Riverside ceme-
tery the bit broke. The animal which
is a colt started On a run and threaten- ‘
ed upsetting the vehicle, and doing ser-
ious injury to the occupants. Fortun-
ately the bridle fell in such a way that
it lay across the animal’s windpipe, and
Mr. Alger pluckily holding on to the
lines succeeded in stopping the run-

- away but not until he had reached the

Pryor residence. It was aride fraught
with peril.

TRIED "LEI FUNNY.

A South Norwalk Man Meets
With a Waterloo in
This City.

His Blood Soilled on a Wall Street
Sidewalk.

Last evening, Superintendent Wil-

Electric Light cOmpany, came to this
city in company with a friend.

“He had a funny streak on,” said a
friend Of his, a streak by the way which
he. later on perhaps, wished that he
had. left in South Norwalk.

He went into a saloon and (meeting
persOns 0n the way gave them painful
pinches. Not content- with this past-
time, he stepped up to a young man
named John Nooney and “twigged’jhis
nose. This was resented by Nooney.
A similar attack, it is said, was repeat-
ed, and it was only by the interference
of friends that a fight was not precipi-
tated then and there.

In a short time both parties went out
Of the saloon but later on met near the
Holme's,Keeler & Selleck store, where,
it is alleged, Bonnell again took hold
of Nooney, and the scrap began.

Nooneywithout any more ado knocked
Bonnell down and then gave him a bad
drubbing with his fists and as is alleged
kicked him. Nooney then quietly
walked away. '

George Hussy then came to Bonnell’s
assistance and a carriage was procured
and he was taken to his home in South
Norwalk.

All this occurred between 6 and 7
O'clock, and was witnessed by several
persons who for some reason or other
failed to interfere.

Blood-stains on the sidewalk mark
the spot where the fracas occurred.

It is claimed that Bonnell provoked
the quarrel,but that N ooney did wrong
in punishing him in the manner which
he did.

’ L The whole affair is a disgrace td‘zr‘the

city of Norwalk. Said one man “Both
men ought to be arrested.” Another
said “Bonnell has received a deserved
good lesson and ought to profit by the
same.” Nevertheless the disgrace is
nane the less apparent. '

BICYCLE WEDDING.

Gil Finch and Effie St. John Married on
a Tandem.

A bicycle wedding was solemnized in
Stamford, Thursday evening, Rev. D.
L. Ferris, acting rector of 'St. J Ohn’s
Episcopal church, was summoned to
St’. Luke’schapel in the south end. He
mounted his wheel and went to the
scene. .

On a tandem the happy couple had
preceded him and several Of the guests
also came on wheels.

The parties were Gilbert Finch, who
is well known in this section of the
state as a crack rider, and Miss Effie
L. St. John, of Darien.

At the conclusion of the ceremony
Mr. and Mrs. Finch remounted their
tandem and left on their honeymoon.

Shore Resorts.

TO-day is “ opening day ” at Roton
Point. and the weather is favorable for
the same. Of course the various attrac-
tions will not be in full bloom, as this
could hardly be expected with the at-
mosphere at its present temperature.

Landlord O’Snllivan announces the
Opening of his popular summer resort
to—day. The improvements about the
place warrant the belief that they will
be appreciated by a large crowd Of wel-
come visitors.

Music will be furnished at both-re-
sorts, and lovers of terpsichore given
an opportunity to enjoy themselves to
their full vent.

On Monday '~
the Post-office will be closed at 11
o’clock. There will be but one delivery
and that in the morning.

The dry-goods Stores will probably
remain closed all day, as will be the
Selectmen’s Office and TOWn clerk’s Of-
fice and the banks. The grocery stores
and meat markets will be Open a part
Of the day. '

. ' iHE :5qu TRIAL
Still Weaving—the— Web of Dain—

aging Evidence Against
. the Accused.

The Defense Objects to the Interpreter and,
Another Italian Substituted.

L—«e—s,

 

The first week of the trial of Guis-
eppi Fuda for the murder of his wife
was finished in the superior court yes—
terday afternoon. The evidence
throughout the day was confined to
proving Fuda owned the hatchet, which
was picked up at the scene of the murt
der. It was also in evidence that Fuda
on the day of the murder borrowed a
file to sharpen the hatchet which was
used in the murder. One witness swore
he saw Fuda the mOrning after the mur-
der. Fuda declared that his wife had.
taken $26 and disappeared. He said
he had searched for her, but could not
find her.

During the afternoon the defense,
was taken up and it was seen that
counsel will endeavor to show that Ima-.
passino had been intimate with Mrs.
Fuda and the latter, tiring of him, en-
raged him tO such an extent that he
planned and carried out the murder.
The hearing will be resumed next
Tuesday morning.

During the hearing yesterdry At-'
torney Judson objected to Louis Rich-
ards as interpreter, claiming that he
was not giving correct translations of
the testimony. This assertion seemed
to be sustained and Mr. Fessenden Of-
fered no objection to a change. The
court directed Mr. Richards to step
aside and Frank N apolidi took his
place. Napolidi said he had no opin-'
ion either for or against the accused
and there was no further trouble re-
garding the interpreter. -
