Folks in Darien are laying plans for what promises to be a mighty interest- ing fall campaign. The music has al- ready begun, and the political orches- "tra will be in fine tune when the time for town caucuses rolls around. The present selectmen are-understood to be willing to accept renomination. First Selectman Mackey, it is said, has a de- sire to head the Democratic ticket for the purpose of vindication. The search- light of criticism has been thrown up- on his record as chief of the Darien town fathers, and his opponents and adherents are not divided strictly by party lines. gentlemen for Republican candidates for selectmen. Selectman Andrew T. Waterbury will probably be renomina- ted, but whether he shall get first place on the ticket is doubtful. Indeed, it is not known that Mr. VVaterbury’s ambi- tions soar so high. The most interesting piece of politi- cal news around Darien just now is that certain leading Republicans have. re- quested ex-Selectman Jeremiah Kline' felter to permit the use of his name in the Republican caucus, and that he has consented to run in case his party wants him to. The supporters of Mr. Kline- felter think the affairs of the town were well managed under his administration. There is more or less sectional feeling in Darien politics. People in Darien village think the people in the eastern section of the tOWn want too much. On the other hand, Noroton people point to the figures of population and taxa- tion to prove that N oroton is really the kite, and Darien proper is only the tail of it. , Things political are really warming up in Darien, and if there are not live- ly caucuses and a red-hot election next October, all signs will fail. Has Come to Stay. Mr. F. W. Lyon is busily engaged in fitting up the building at the South ' end of what was formerly the Simonds fOundry, for the manufacture of dress stays. The machinery required is light but the demand is large for the goods which Mr. Lyon proposes put- ting on the market. At first but ten women will be‘ em- ployed which. number will be increased as the advance in the trade will war- rant. than six months to have at least twenty-five women In his employ. The manufactory will probably . com- ‘mence operations as early as next week. 4 -_ Death of Joseph H. Skidmore. Joseph H. Skidmore, a former resi- dent Of this city, died at his home in Fairfield last night, aged about 60 years.

Probably the Last Appearance of an Attrac- tion at that Place. A few weeks since a circus was ad- ded to the other attractions at Roton Point, and it was thought to be a win— ning card. It was understood that the attraction was secured for the Point by the Tram- way Co. which hoped to be benefitted by an increased number of patrons Over its line to the Point. And in this the company apparent- ly made no mistake, for it proved to be a drawing card. But it is no more. Monday trouble that had been brewing for some days cropped out, by one of the members of the circus, the clown, putting in a claim which the manager, it is alleged, refused to recognize. The clown was followed in his action by the “one- legged wonder,” and another artist There was a war of words which be- ingout of the ordinary furnished more or less amusement to people at the Point, inasmuch as it was free and lively. Two Or three members of the com- pany are at the Point to-day, but as it . is late in the season it is not believed that the management will attempt to re-organize the same. HOYT’S THEATRE OPENING. New Seats and a Thorough Overhauling of This Popular Play House. Manager I. M. Hoyt has worked a miracle in his handsome Washington street theatre since the close of last season.

The entire interior has been repainted and papered, and Man- ager Hoyt’s patrons will hardly recog- nize the place when they visit it this season. - Everything has been done to make the theatre comfortable, and, the popu- lar manager deserves a large patron- .age the coming season, for his untir- ing efforts in behalf of his patrons. The opening will take place on Sat- urday night, when “Never Again,” the latest and brightest of all laughing comedy, will be,presented er the first time in Norwalk. The play comes direct from an entire season of conquest of New York, and Manager Hoyt should have a rousing house. AA; Are in Brooklyn. Councilmen W. H. Smith and Eugene L.
