Injured in a Bicycle ' Accident. He is Picked Up in an Unconscious Condi- tion. Cornelius M. Daniels employed at the Lounsbury, Mathewson & Co. shoe manufactory is confined to his home on Chestnut street, this city, to-day as the result of a bicycle accident on West avenue, shortly before 6 o’clock, in which he took a leading part. He goes to and from his place of bus- iness on a bicycle. Last evening after finishing his work he'mounted his bike and started for home as usual. He was going along at a fair rate of speed when he was overtaken by John Latson, also on a bicycle. Latson passed Daniels and as he did so remarked to the latter that he was getting to be quite a rider. At this sally Daniels spurted ahead of Latson who in turn shot ahead of Daniels, but had not got more than fifty feet the lead when down he went in a heap with his bike on top. Daniels did not witness the tumble in time and ran “full head on” over Latson, but in making the landing was rendered unconscious. Winfield Scott happened to be near by and went to the assistance of Daniels, who soon after regained consciousness, .and an electric car coming along, he was assisted on to the same and taken to the office of D1. J. G. Gregory, in a decidedly dazed condition. The physician found that the victim ' had received ugly bruises on his nose and side of the face, and that one of his shoulders had been badly wrenched, if indeed he had not received more or less injury to his side. Later he was taken to his home where he now lies feeling very sore f1 om head to foot. LatsOn escaped'injury as did both of the bicycles.

Daring Robberies Committed There Hight Along. dents of the town of Nichols have been kept in a state of fear by the daring methods of masked burglars, who have invaded that section. "The desperate hold up of John M. Nichols and his daughter in their home, followed by the murder of George Marcus Nichols and the attempted murder of his sister, so alarmed the townspeople that the slightest intimation of a robbery creates much excitement. The commission of these crimes was the principal subject under discussion during several months, but fear was gradually subsiding when another se- ries of robberies was made known. The latest was on last Saturday night, at the home of Charles G. Perry, a farmer, whose residence is on what is known as the Stratford road. It is but a short distance from the center of Nichols: Mr. Perry has a large family and on Saturday night they retired about the usual time. It was near midnight when one of the sons, who sleeps in one of the upper rooms, was aroused by a noise at the side door. He at first thought it was occasioned by some member of the household. He decided to dress, however, and make an inves- tigation. When he stepped into the sitting room he was confronted by a stranger. The latter was a big fellow, well built, and his face was hidden by a black mask.. Perry asked him what he was doing there, and the stranger, after giving him one glance, made a dash for the door. In an instant he was down the road towards Stratford, with Perry after him. The fellow proved too fleet, however. and made good his escape. The Perry family their danger. It was said that Mr. Perry had a large sum of money in the house on Saturday night, and this fact is supposed to have leaked out. The thief was evidently prepared to battle with the older member of the house- hold, but when he was confronted by the young man, he decided not to take any chances. The report of the burg- lar’s attempt soon reached the village of Nichols, and he was the subject of discussion there. The attempted burglary of the Perry home has brought to light a robbery which occurred over a week ago, but which did not gain much publicity. The home of a man named Reed, a-neighbor of Mr. Perry, was Visited and $35 in money taken. The money was in a pocketbook in a hip pocket of the own- er’s trousers. The garment hung at his bedside. The thief entered the room while Reed and his wife were asleep and took the money. He put the pock- etbook back in its plaCe and left by a window without disturbing the sleepers. The robbery was not discovered until the next morning. ~EASTMAN’S POCKET KODAK’S re duced from $5 to $2.50, at Riggs’ Drufi Store. j 15 tf EAST NDRWALK. S. R.

The “Palace” Car of the Company Used for the Occasion, Something like twenty of Norwalk’s favorites' 1n society events enjoyed a ti olley ride last evening under the pa- tronage of Mrs. J. C. N ewkirk and sis . ters. ~The combination car of the Tramway line had been specially fitted up for the occasion. On either end of the car were brilliantly electrically lighted, large smilax adorned horse- shoes, and the: interior of the car was a veritable tropical garden, trimmed as it was with potted plants and ferns, augmented by the gladsome and viva- cious ladies and their escorts. At one end of the car was a buffet from which 'light refreshments and floral souvenirs were served by a lad. whose color would vie with that of Erebus, and whose celerity of' movement classed him with the power that moved the car. ' The party went to Westport, Stam- ford, Gregory’s Point, etc., and inci- dentally visited Roton Point and went out on the wharf to have a chat with each other and listen to the martial music of the sad sea waves which ceased to be sad on the arrival of the happy coterie of youth and beauty. The festal occasion came to an end at 11:30. _ , V THE GAZETTE HAS NEVER EM- PLOYED A CIRCULATION LIAR, BUT WE ARE KEEPING ALL OUR OLD READERS AND GAINING NEW ONES EVERY DAY. PERSONAL NOTES.

That immense- ly popular organization, William Cal- ' der’s “Northern Lights” company will present their most successful play with- the same people in the company and the same magnificent scenic accessories that were characteristic of the New York run.

The cast is long, and has not a weak spot. The play abounds in laughable inci- dents character sketches and witty dia- logue and the fun is uproariously funny. The two dock rats are droll ap- pearing specimens of humanity, and their warblings and twitters convey the impression that they are operatic singers out for a lark. The Season at the Hyperion.
