The Fourth Regiment Ma-
neuvers and Holds Regi-
mental Parade.
SEASIDE PARK CROWDED.
Company D of South No‘rwalk Disgraces
the Town-
The annual field day of the Fourth
regiment, Col. Charles W. Hendrie
commanding, was held at Seaside Park,
Bridgeport, yesterday. '
A big crowd turned out to witness
~ the maneuvers and regimental parade,
which was a success. ,
Company F of Norwalk and Compa-
ny D of South NOrwalk participated in
the parade. Company F behaved like
soldiers and gentlemen and returned
to their armory in excellent order,
while the following from this morne
ing’s Bridgeport Union will give the
people of Norwalk some idea of how
the members of Co. D behaved them-
selves.
“The companies forming the battals
ion went through the evolutions with
. preciswn and skill, with one exception.
Co. D, of Norwalx, did not come up to
the standard of excellence required
and was sharply reprimanded by Major
Fitch for its awkwardness in executing
orders. While the other companies
formed, four, eight, and sixteen abreast
with order, Co. D formed in disorder.
Often the men became bunched in a.
disorganized crowd and once Major
Fitch compelled it to repeat a forma-
tion in which it had bungled.
Several of the men ivere so intoxi-
cated they could not walk straight and
their’futile attempts to keep in step
were ludicrous. Finally, Major Fitch,
‘ unable to bear the spectacle longer,
fined five men five dollars each and
ordered them to leave the lines. After
that the company did a little better
and the movements went forward with
more smoothness.”
Not satisfied with their behavior in
Bridgeport members of Company D
disgraced themselves on the train re
turning home. Upon their arrival at
South Norwalk :1. fight ensued in which
Lieut. Bloom of Co. F was called upon
by a citizen to interfere, which he did
and succeeded in wresting a gun from
a drunken soldier, but not before he
was set upon by several members of D
who came to their drunken comrade’s
assistance. ..
The company did not return to the
armory but scattered in all directions,
some discharging blank cartridges in
their guns about the streets.
Later in the night four
members held up a gentleman on West
which
drunken
avenue and demanded a cigar,
they failed to get.
It is said by a number of Norwalk
citizens who were present in Bridge
port, that the behavior of members of
D company was a disgrace to llorwalk.
It is hoped that Col. Hendrie will
take the necessary step to court martial
these men, and see that a. rigid pen-
alty is imposed upon the guilty, and
carried out to the full extent of mili:
tary law.
‘
, Horse Ran Away.
Mrs. W. B. Bean of West avenue,
was out driving yesterday afternoon
and upon returning home the horse
took fright under the railroad bridge
at Washington and North Main streets
and ran away. Previous to the occurs
rence the horse was on a lively trot but
Mrs. Bean lost control of the animal
and he bounded along North Main
street, jumping over a pile of bricks
where the street is being repau ed and
continued on his run until he reached
Sturtevant’s store where a clerk from
the same rushed out and stopped him.
Mrs. Bean held on pluckily and was
uninjured.

AMUSEMENTS.
La Pearl’s Great Allied Shows.
As we are able to visit only a l1mited
number of the most important cities
each year in our grand tour of the en-
tire country. we have entered into an
arrangement with the various railroads
diverging from the points at which we
exhibit, whereby those living at a dis-
tance can visit us'at a greatly reduced
excursion .rate. A vast number of
special agents are employed by Mr.
LaPearl to perfect, complete and sys—
tematize arrangements so there may
be no hitch or unpleasant delay of any
nature in the special excursions, and
excursionists are assured of every pos-
sible advantage. V
The rates quoted usually include an
admission ticket to the show, and ex-
cursionists-thus supplied W111, if on the
show grounds previous to the regular
opening of the ticket office, be admit-
ted first. For full particulars regard-
ing time of arrival and departure of
:ze‘xcursion trains, and for. extremely
low round trip tickets, enquire of your
nearest railway station agent. Remem-
ber the day and date, May 30th at
South Norwalk.

church longer to decide yesterday when
the nineteenth century ends than it took
to pass the resolutions against the Mor~
mon congressman, Roberts, and in favor
of an antipolyb amy amendment to the
national constitution. These resolutions,
which represent the matured thought of ‘
the Presbyterians of the United States
after many months of consideration, so
exactly expressed the sentiment of every,
commissionei that they were adopted
withbut even a single supporting speech.
The commissioners generally feel that
in.- calling for the expulsion of Roberts.
and for the adoption of an amendment to:
the national constitution defining legal;
marriage to be monogamic they have
started a movement which will be taken
up all ove1 the country and will reach
eventual success. The adopted resolu-
tons we1e originally written by Re .
