fSeven’ Year-Illa George (luinn
Dropped Twenty Feet.
'Lulded on Railroad Tracks Narrowly
Escaping Death.
George Quinn, the seven-year-old
son of John Quinn of Greens Farms,
narrowly escaped death by accident
Monday afternoon while returning
from school. It was the boy’s first day
- at school, and in returning to his home
he started to cross the bridge span-
ning the Consolldated road tracks near
the tower. Young Quinn climbed along
the bridge railing and lost his balance,
dropping a distance of over 20 feet.
The unfortunate lad was alone, and, so
far as known, no one saw the accident.
As a local freight approached the
spot the engineer saw a body on the
tracks and brought the train to a stand-
still. At first glance it was thought
the boy was dead. He was unconscious
and lay with the left leg doubled under
him. As the body was straightened
out the leg hung limp. Blood flowed
from a wound over the left eye, the
laceration extending some three inches.
Still unconscious the child was taken
aboard the train and carried to the
station. Physicians were called, three
responding. They placed the, lad on
an improvised stretcher and worked
over him for an hour before be revived.
Young Quinn was conveyed to his
father’s home, where a further exami-
nation was begun but discontinued un-
til such a time as the boy can stand
the handling necessary to determine
whether he is internally injured. The
child’s father is employed by the Con-
solidated road, and was overcome upon
learning of his son’s misfortune.

COMMENT AND'GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN,‘B_Y ONE
OF THEM.
The woman who has her husband ar-
raigned in court ' on the charge of
brutal treatment,‘- only to turn right
around and beg the Judge to let him go
is a familiar figure.
In the town court the other morn-
ing a complainant of this kind Suffered
a similar change of heart. I say suffer-
ed for it will be suffering for her ere
long when. her lord and master, brute
as he is, begins to feel that it is abOut
time for himvto exercise his muscular
wife.
Now it is all well enough to have a
coward of this kind arrested, tried and
sentenced to punishment in the county
jail, for he richly deserves it, but when
it comes to bothering ’ the court of the
town, by bringing him Lip, simply to
beg him off it in time to'call ahalt.
Of course the judge with a kindly
illused wife. He lets thegman go with
areprimand, much against his own
better judgment.
It would be better, however, if the
offender by sending him to jail. Per-
haps then there would be far less of
these nuisances before the public.
Easter Day of ’98 has passed into
the sphere from which nothing returns.
Yet perhaps memory will hold it dearly.
It was a beautiful day and the extra-
ordinary preparations by the churches
of our twin cities were not in vain, nol‘
were the floral decorations unappre-
ciated. Indeed I wanted to visit all
the edifices to get a glimpse of Jig)
lovely flowers, but as I could be in but
one place at the same time I only 'saw
the display of three churches.

Henry Clay’s Fame Abroad.
' R. Hall McCormick, a wealthy Chi-
cagoan and a Bar Harborite, and an
earnest searcher after art treasures.
rel-ates the following anecdote which
while straying through a. London art
gallery on his recent tour abroad.
y While gazing at a large oil pain-ting
of Henry Clay, a. passing employs of
the gallery stopped and Mr. McCor-
mick, in ordereto start a. conversa-
tion, said quizzically: “Can you tell
me, Sir, whom does this picture repre-
sent?" .
The attendant, realizing that his
questioner was an American, replied
in a rather pedantic manner: “Why,
sir, do I understand you to, mean that
you don’t know who that ’ere is?
Why, sir, that’s 'Enry Clay, sir.”
“Henry Clay,” repeated Mr. gMc~
Cormick, with a. merry twinkle in his
eye, “why, I never heard of him.
-Who is he, pray?”
“Why, sir,”'ejaculated the pitying
Briton, “and you don’t know ’Enry
Clay, ’nd you an American, sir. Why,
'Enry Clay’s the man what makes the
cigars, sir,” and with a. contemptuous
frown the attendant went about his
business—Bangor Commercial.
Fuel in Japan.
The dust of charcoal isgat'hered up
and mixed with the. chaff from the
wheat, barley, and- other grains, and
with chopped straw in Japan. It is
then moistened into a paste, rolled in-
to balls about as big as a billiard-
ball, and makes excellent fuel. '

First Friend—Do you have good po-
lice protection out your way?
Second Friend—Do we? Well, I
should say so. .We have the prettiest

There-was something in his manner,-
that led her to, think he was about to:

that every woman craves some strong,
nature upon which she can leanj in an:
emergency.” ' i-
His face became white. - I
“What is the matter?” ,'.

A Chance to Get 3. Wheel
over seven years.
In that time he has sold thousands of wheels, and his
guarantee has ever been found as good as a bond.
Every wheel sold by him is of first-class workmanship
and of the highest grade.
For nearly two years he has been in business at his
a, . present store, No. 12 North Main street/South Norwalk,
and has been most successful, his large cities increasing each season.
One reason for his success is that he is firm believer in printers’ ink and
uses it freely and to the best advantage, believing that keeping everlasting-
ly at it is bound to bring the desired result. _
His business thus far this season has surpassed his most sanguine ex
pectations, his sales being something enormous in the bicycle line.-
He is not yet satisfied, however, and proposes to stir up the riders of the
silent steed by giving away one of his bicycles to the most popular wheel-
manor wheelwoman in Fairfield county. .
