The Saugatuck Valley Railroad Project Revived.
Mr. G. H. Watrous, president, E. M.
Reed, vice-president, and W. H. Steven-
son, superintendent, of the Consolidated
road, came to Westport Wednesday, and
taking carriages and accompanied by
Messrs. Miller Ketchum, Moses W. Wil-
son, A. S. Hurlbutt, John Q. Adams,
Thos. R. Lees. H. Staples of the First
National Bank, Frederick Morchouse,
David Coley, Mr. Sidney G. Miller,
brother of Mrs. Morris Ketchum and who
was one of the original contractors to
build the New Haven road, and Mr. W.
B. Sec of New York, drove to Bedding,
following the bed of the bed of the San-
gatuck river. The object of the visit and
drive was a sort of layout and inspection
of a proposed railroad between the two
points. Some are bold enough to hint,
and the high character of the company
warrants them in so doing, and in believ-
ing that a scheme to renew the Saugatuck
Valley railroad project which attracted so
much attention some years ago, is on foot.
Observations of the route, the nature and
character of the land {and the industries
on the line, were taken very minutely.
Mr. Staples rode in company with Mr.
Watrous and explained the features of
the line. Reaching a grove near the edge
of Bedding, at a point known as the
“Devil’s Mouth.” so called by reason of
its proximity to the “Devil’s Den," the
party alighted and partook of lunch,
which proved for them the best picnic of
the season. They remained eating, drink-
ing and talking railroad, above three-
quarters of an hair. From the grove they
visited the house of ex-Sheriff Sanford,
where they were handsomely entertained
and were edified as to the practicability of
building the road. Mr. Staples volunteer
ed the statement that 70 years ago a grist
mill. kept by one Peck, was the only
mill in Fairfield county which could run
through the .season unaffected by drouth,
and that it had fallen into decay simply
because the outside world had no easy
means of getting, to it, and that modern
facilities would cause not only that mill,
but many more in the valley to spring
forth to prosperity and usefulness. The
party returned following the bed of the
Aspatuck river, and passing along via
Burr’s mills. and the Ketchum farm
reached Westport again at 5:30. Each of
the party was particulary impressed with
the feasabilify of the proposed route.
A Big Blaze at Martha’s Vineyard.
A most disastrous fire occurred at
Martha’s Vineyard on Saturday night,
which nearly swept out of existence the
village of Vineyard Haven. It started in
a carriage factory at '9 o’clock and raged
until 3 a. m. The Cottage City fire de-
partment rendered what assistance it
could, but the flames could not be checked
until their work of destruction was
complete. The Baptist church, stores,
dwellings, cottages, and several hotels
were destroyed. An area of 50 acres
was burned over in the heart of the
village, and most of the 250 summer resi-
dents were obliged to flee for their lives.
Hundreds of people have lost their all.
The loss is nearly $200,000, insurance
$62,000. All the stores in the place but
one are burned. The wife of James
Davis, an aged citizen, died from excite-
ment consequent upon the fire. It is
doubtful if the ancient village is ever
rebuilt.
The Tribune's Enterprise.
During the present summer the New
New York Tribune has been unusually
enterprising, and by the aid of special
trains and fast pony expresses it has put
its Sunday edition into Saratoga,Richfield
Springs and the Catskill Mountains con-
sidcrably ahead of its contemporaries. On
Sunday, the 5th, a Tribune fast train was
run over the Shore Line road to Narragan-
sctt Pier afterfhe arrival of the newspaper
train at New Haven. The trip from New
Haven to New London, 50 miles, was
made in one hour and four minutes, the
fastest on record between these cities, and
there were a number of delays. All the
resorts along the Connecticut and Rhodc
Island coasts were supplied with the Sun-
day Tribune.
Shall The Howe Band Come To Norwalk ?
The GazEr'rn is informed on reliable
authority that the Howe band can be in-
duced to come to Norwalk to permanently
locatc,.provided the members can obtain
employment here. If our manufacturers
and business men so desire they can secure
for this town onmof the best bands in
Connecticut, one that is fully equipped
with instruments, music, handsome new
uniforms and an efficient leader. It is a
musical organization that has a state repu—
tation, and all that is necessary in order
tosecure it as a No‘rwalk institution is for
someone to make the requisite effort to get
employment for the men. Shall the oppor-
tunity becmbraced,and who is the enterpri-
sing man to take holdof the matter? Let
some one interest himself and others
at once.
The Look Company To Enlarge.
Builder Henry Seymour closed a con-
tract on Thursday with:the Norwalk Lock
Company for the erection of a ‘very con-
siderable addition to their ,present great
manufactory. The new building will
comprises foundry, machine shop, etc.
fer the specialgworking in'brass. This
part of the Lock company's business has
very largely increased of late and neces-
sitates this new structure. There is to be
a furnace chimney 75 feet high connected
with this lmportantaddition. We rejoice
to note the prosperity of this admirably
managed and always successful Norwalk
manufactory.
The Battle of Stonington.
The old town of Stonington celebrated
with great eclat last Friday the sixty-
uinth anniversary of the bombardment of
that town by the British, the day being
ushered in by the firing of cannon, ring-
ing of bells, etc. There was a procession
of bands, firemen, military companies,
and civic societies,a dozen 1812 veterans,a
hundred men and women who witnessed
the bombardment. Courtlandt Palmer,
president of the Nineteenth Century Club
of New York,-was the orator. "I‘be dec-
orations were'profusc, and in the evening
there was a brilliant illumination.

Telegraph Wires Gut.
The Western Union telegraph lines run '
ning east'from New York ccascd working
on Monday night, and it was found that at
Coscob bridge the cable, containing '39
wires. had been cut. Several wires were
cutoff the poles, in foot lengths, near West
Farms, and eight wires were cut nine
miles east of Norwalk. The Atlantic and
Pacific wires. seven in number, Were cut
down and carried away. The disabled
wires were repaired the next day. The
next nightrIS wires between Greenwich
nml Portchester were severed.
The New Bridge.
The pilcs having all been driven for the
new bridge and a cargo of great flat, rcd
sand stones brought hither, from New
Haven, the work of laying the stone piers
for the new iron draw bridge is now
progressing. Meantime the shopkeepers
at the city and customers at East Nor—
walk, continue to scold and “nurse their
wrath and keep it warm.’,’

Good Slating.
Jaqui has employed on the slating on
Mr. J. W. IIyutt’s house, Mr. I’recht of
New York an expert sister and son of the
man who put on the first square of really
good slate roof in Norwalk, which he did
for the writer some lifter-ii years ago and
never a chaugeor repair since.
Another Oyster War on Long Islacd. .
Another oyster war has broken out at
Huntington. The oyster planters claim
cxclusive right to the buy as to shell-fish,
under leases from the town, and resent the
intrusion of those who rake free. The
people claim that the town had no right
to lease public property to private indi-
viduals, and claim that the latter pro-
cured leases of oyster lauds under false
names so as to enable-them to obtain
additional leases. The town trustees
have surprised the planters by adopting a
resolution declaring that the lease does
not confer on the holder any exclusive
ownership or control over any other shell-
fish than those planted and making it
lawful for any citizen to rake upon the
planted beds for clams.
The planters say that raking for clams
disturbs the oyster beds and they have
procured an injunction from County
J udgc Young restraining any person from
entering upon the planted oystenbeds
pending a decision of the court in the
matter.
Gossip From Bell Island By Way Of Danbury.

That on the cottage of T. Jones is the
largest of the lot. It was made' by Gillett.
—-Rev. Mr. Freeman, who 'is rusti-
cating down by the sea (which is Belle

Interesting to Inventors.
The following is the syllabus of a dc.
cision announced Tuesday last by the
Commissioner of Patents: “The statute
contemplates that a patent shall issue for
a single invention, and a patent to be
valid, can cover a single invention. If
several distinct inventions, although relat-
ing to the same object, were embraced in
the patent: it would be invalid for that
reason. It is presumed, when applicants
file their applications for patents that they
desire to obtain valid patents. When,
therefore, the ofilce directs an applicant
to divide his application because more
than one invention is therein embraced, it
is not for the purpose of requiring him to
conform to the classification of the office,
nor because it will require more time to
examine the matters embraced in the rip--
plication, but because the patent can only
cover a. single invention and be valid.”
The 17th Conn. Vols‘. Seventeenth Reunion.
Fairfield will have a holiday on the 28th
inst.,when its citizens will do honor to
the Association of 17th Reg" Conn. Vol.’s,
on the occasion of their seventeenth annual
reunion and twenty-first anniversary. To
the number of perhaps two hundred
and fifty they will form at the Fairfield
depot about9 a. m., march to the Town
Hall, where they will be welcomed by the
citizens’ committee, and hold the usual
business meeting. after which a collation
will be provided, followed by the cus»
tomary toasts. speeches, and fighting over
again the battles that preserved the entire.
ty of this land of peace and prosperity.
A meeting of the citizens to arrange for
the reception and entertainment of the
17th, is called ‘for to-morrow, Friday
afternoon at 4 o’clock. There is no doubt
that the people of the “sleepy” old town
will be well represented at the meeting,
and that on the 28th instant they will rise
to the occasion.—Brz'dgcport Standard.
Church Corner-Stone Laying In Rnlgciicld.
The laying of the corner stone for the
Ridgeficld was the occasion of a large
and deeply interested gathering on Tues-
day. A delay occurred in getting the
stone from Norwalk. but a special train
over the Danbury c Norwalk Railroad
was despatched and [0011 returned with
the treasure. The “reconstructed church”
will be a credit to the village, to the so-
ciety and the generous donors who have
contributed to the good work. As usual
Ridgeficld’s public spirited citizen P..C.
Lounsbury took the lead in giving. He
pledged himself to double any amount
the church and society would raise. The
weather was most auspicious and the oc-
casion one long to be remembered in the
annals of Rid gefield.
A Sensible Excursion. .
Henry R. Towne, president of the Yale
Lock Company, started from Stamford
with his family Thursday, for a drive
across the country, through grand old
' Litchfield and up into the Berkshire
regions of still grander old Massachusetts,
whereof one “Benjamin” is now governor.
The first day Mr. T. only drove to the
hospitable mansion of Mr. Edwin Hoyt,
where he and his family have been sum—
mer boarrlers,in years past. The next
day he drove to Danbury, via. Wilton
and Ridgefield. From Danbury be ex-
pected to make New Milford on the fol-
owiug day, and thence to thchfield,
North Adams, GreatBarrington, Pittsiield,
etc., ocupying about it month in the
family carriage excursion.
Another Fool.
A Washington inventor is pi'cpnring'a
flying machine with which he proposes to
make a trip over Niagara Falls. Ills ap-
paratus is a silken bag in the shape of a
balloon, and he propos cs to be rowed to a
point near Goat Island, when he will
jump overboard and float toward the
falls. He says : ”When I reach the edge
of the rocks over which the wares falls I
will be moving as rapidly as the water,
and as my body will be very much lighter
it will shoot right out into the air, and I
will descend five or six feet beyond the
wall of water, as you describe it. When
I reach the water below I will float down
to the spot where Captain Webb jumped
in the other day, and strike out for the
Canadian shore.”
Twenty—five Dollars Reward.
Stephen 11. Smith’s chicken yard was
raided last Thursday night, and without a
.doubt, by the same gang of fowl thieves
who have dcspoiled the hcnueries of Josi—
alh. Raymond, John Osborn, W. J. Fitch
and so many others, in the caslern pint of
our town. Mr. Smith authorizes us to
say that he will give $25 to any one who
will discover who the miscreants arc and
aid him in securing {their conviction.
This poultry is in all probability dressed
and marketed in this and the adjoining
towns, as well as shipped to New York
and ‘our alert borough police should keep
their weather eyes open.

Our old friend John How cr says he
fears he will have to stop his Gazar'rn, as
so many are running after him to borrow
it, his life is about worried out. Well,
borrowing a newspaper regularly is a
pretty close way of shaving a bone when
one can be had for 3 cents, and must be
an inbcarablc nuisance to a regular
subscriber.

The Departure of the Neptunes
Wednesday, the day on which the Nep.
tune club were to sail on their annual
cruise, opened clear and bright and save
the weird want of a stirring breeze the
day was all that could be desired. The
gallant Schooner Jacob I. Housman had
arrived at Hill‘s Dock on Monday and the
intervening time had been spent in erect-
ing berths and other accommodations for
the jolly Ncps and decorating the Vessel
with flags, so that, on the day of sailing,
everything was in readiness and comfort.
able quarters awaited the would-be tars.
/l‘lic club had announced that they would
sail at on p. m., but there were unavoid-
able dclays and it was fully two hours
later are the moorings were cast off. A
little before one, crowds began to gather at
the dock and along the shores of the creek
to wave a farewell and a con cog/age to
their departing friends. The 'schooner
gradually filled with friends and relatives
of the members of the club who were to
escort them down the harbor, and by sail-
ing time about fifty or more of these were
on board. The best of humor prevailed
and the club made everything comfortable
and pleasant for their t'cmporary guests.
At 2:30 all was in readiness when some un-
lucky wight dropped the “howitzer” overi
board. This created another clay during
which an oysterman and his tongs were
the gun but without success, and another
cannon was procured and securely lashed
to the gunwalc to prevent any further loss
of that kind. At seven minutes past three
Commodore Tompkins called all hands on
deck and the Secretary, mounting the
“poop deck,” called the roll as published
below. None being missing, the Commo-
dore in stentorian tones gave the command
to cast off and at 3:12 p. m., amid the
cheers of the spectators,'thc Housman,
towed by the tug Freddie W. Decker,swift-
ly moved down the harbor. The 'gun gave
its parting salute Po the friends at Nor-
walk and the Neptuues were afloat. Nu'
mcrous cheers were heard and flags were
waved from the residences along the east-
ern shore of the creek undat Jennings’
wharf a party of about twenty ladies waved
their handkerchiefs as afoud good bye.
Reaching South Norwalk the vessel passed
without stopping and only a few words
could he shouted to the crowd of friends
who were assembled on the drawbridge.
As the vessel. passed the J udge-Advocate’s
hat shop near the shore, its male em-
ployees, who had provided themselves
with a large cannon, gave the Ncps a. sa.
lute of three guns, while the female opera-
ratives assembled at every window of the
large structure and waved adiciis with
pocket handkerchicfs. It was a very
pretty sight and the gallant INeptunes
cheered lustily in return while Commis-
sary Meeker quickly loaded the boat’s gun
and gave shot for shot. ' As the vessel
passed E.'A.'Wogdward’s or airline was
fired from the shore which was promptly
answered by the Neptunes’ guu. Roach-
ing Dorlon’s the rotund form of err-Com-
modore Bailey of St. Louis was seen on
the wharf to whose honor the club gave
three rousing cheers. The vessel then
proceeded as far as Caukeen Island and
the time had come for final [sittings-with
friends on board. Some time was occu-
pied in handshaklngs and cmbrlices and
then, the tug coming alongside, at 3:30,
friends, reporters and all who were to stay
at home stepped over the Housman's side
and parted company with the “boys in
blue.” As the tug moved homewards the
sturdy voice of the Commodore was heard
to ordzr thrcc cheers for the ladies, friends,
'00. F and their drum corps, which the
club gave with a royal will, Co. Fla drum
corps responding with their peculiar yell.
The Neptuues were off and as the trig
and the Housman parted company and
the last gun from the latter broke the
stillness, handkerchicfs were waved by all
and many fond wishes were sent heaven—
ward that the jolly boys, can and all,
might have a safe and happy trip. In-
deed, the sentiment of all was spoken by
one lady who was overheard to say:—
“God bless the Neptuiies, for a better
club was never seen."

atoms BY THE nsr'on'ran.
Oirthc way dow ii the harbor a number
of the members of the club were taken
violently sick. Their malady was a mys-
tery but as the lid of the medicine chest
was kept in constant motion our reporter
felt justified in thinking that their suffer-
ings must have been intense. One unfor-
tunate Nep had a bad attack of toothache.
but as brother" Many had forgotten his for-
ceps, the medicine chest and some line out
were brought into requisition and thench-
ing molar subsided.
As the Housman passed the dra w-bridgc
a suspicious looking parcel was passed on
board directed to J dogs-Advocate Crofut.
That gentleman being called, invostigatcd,
and a bottle labelled " Belfast,” was
brought to view. The label suggested
ginger-ale and was innocent enough but
the liquid had a more spiritedhppearancc.

and after the Judge-Advocate had gener-
ously supplied him with a fragrant Ila-

berths. The first one to catch his eye
was that of fire Vice Commodore -whcrc

placques.

our reporter, out of deference to the feel-
ings"of the V.-C.-, suppresses it. The next
“berth of beauty" was that/of Postmaster
Keclcr, which betrayed the food atten-
tion of female hearts and hands. A pret-
tily worked counterpanc with the letters
N. C. in blue, and an anchor in red, cov-
ered a resting-place of which the “bluff-
ing postmaster should indeed'feel proud.
The Commodore’s berth came next and
with its blue star-worked pillow cases and
counter-pane proved that the ladies did
not forget “Number One." There were
other be’rths in various stages of ornamen-
tation but want of space compels us to
mention only the foremosl.
that struck us while inspecting the interi-
or arrangcmcnts,‘was, that the party who
pureed the medicine chest in equal prox-
imity to the berths of the Commodore
and Judge-Advocate, was a person of
more than usual foresight and was trying
his best to ingratiutc himself into the fa-
vor of these .two superior officers.
As thc tug was leaving the schooner,
the Vice-Commodore, in a moment of un-
gulch, remarked : “As the best looking
part of the crowd is leaving the bout, my
place is with thcniJ’ and forthwith sprang
onto the tug. , A half-score of Nepttincs,
however, armed with authority from the
Commodore, soon placed him antler arrest
and he was hustle‘d aboard the schooncrin

The want of wind was the only set-back
to the otherwise propitious day, but as, at
last accounts, "Doc” Many and Secretary
Olmstend were busy whistling in chorus
for a breeze, we presume the vessel is well
on the way to the Vineyard by this time.
Though in point of numbers the Club
was smaller than last year, the good feel-
ing and fellowship and jovial and hearty
good nature displayed, promises to make
the cruise of 1883 a truly memorable one.

themselves off Saybrook, and during that
day and night they made good progress

Saturday morning} They made Edgar-

Drowned At Roton Point.
On Tuesday last a party of forty-two
male and female inmates of the Blooming-
dale Insane Asylum came up in the morn-
ing train from New York. The party
consisted of the quietly inoffensively in—
sane and were accompanied by one of- the
doctors of the Institution and other atten-
dants. They discmbarkcd at South Nor- -
walk depot and walked to the Carrie A.
Ward and were taken to Roton Point,
where they passed the day. A number
were‘permittcd to go in bathing, the doc-
tor taking the names of all such as they
passed, out from the bath-houses and
checking their return, when finally going
out of ;the water. Of those going in
and not found to come out, was a young
man, aged 20, named Benjamin Nathan,
whose family reside on Lexington avenue,
N. Y., and said to be-a grandson of the
Nathan who was murdered some years
since in the house near the Fifth avenue
hotel. Search was madein the bathhouse
nn'd abont the beach and not finding him
further search was made in the water and
his lifeless body was soon found only a
few feet from the shore and in only from
three to four feet of water- His remains
were at once conveyed-to one of the bath
houses and the doctor finding him to be
perfectly dead, H. P. Gregory, the South
Norwalk undertaker, was telephoned for
and went down and ' took charge of thy
body. When found he .was in a cramped
up position indicating that he had been.
seized with a fit in cramps of the bowels
and from all that could be learned, had
been in the water from half to three-
quarters of an hour. On Wednesday. a
brother of the dr’ceascd came up with a
city undertaker" and the remains were
sent to New York on the 2:56 train.
On the party’s return on Tuesday even-
ing, after this and incident. and the attend-
ing excitement, an effort was made to se-
cure avspccial car into which the excur
sionists could be locked, but ticket agent
Benedict was unable to get one in time
and the party was distributed through a
thinly occupied car. On a collection of
tickets it. was found that there were two
others missing beside the man drowned_
Onc it was explained had been permitted
to remain near Roton for a short time,
but the other, a Louisiana lady. had escap-
cd either at the Point, or while embark-
ing on the train at South Norwalk. She
was a lady of wealth and was advertised
for in [IIC’ Herald of Wednesday. She
returned to the asylum of her own accord
the next day.
Altogether, the results provc the excur-
sion of these mentally diseased persons
to this public watering-place, to have been
a sad blunder on the part of the managers
if no worse.
Highway Robbery.
truckman, made complaint to , Chief
Lockwood yesterday morning that he had
been knocked down and robbed while
passing through Peat Swamp the night
before. The story he tells is, in substance,
as follows: He started from here for his
home in Southport Thursday night, ac—
companied by. his young son Thomas.
While passing through Peat Swamp about
11 o’clock two men sprang from behind
the trees at the side of the road and pull-
ing him out of his cart kicked and beat‘
him till he was nearly unconscious and
then searched his pockets, robbing him of
$16, all the money he had. As soon as
he was able he called to his son to drive
on and summon help or he would- be-
murdered. Then making a desperate re—
sistance lie s'uccecded in escaping from his
assailants and running, hid himself among
the underbrush. He states that the men
searched for him biit being unable to find
him, finally dccamped. He staid there,
shivering with fear, until daylight when
he made his way back to Norwnlk and in-
formed thc police. - Mr; Anderson dr-
scribes his nesailants as tall. slim young
men, but is not sure that he would be able
to identify them if he should see them
again. Nothing has been done in the
matter by the pobce as there is a . air of
improbability about Mr. Anderson’s story
and it is generally supposed that the whole
assault and robbery arose from the bewil-
dered state of a brain steeped for the time
being in sm'ritus fermenti optima:
The Shrievalty.
Candidates for county sheriff begin to
be talked of. The latest on the democrat-
ic side is He's. Thomas Sanford ,of Red-
ding. It is also said that ex—Sheriff Lew—
is is not adverse to the nomination. But
‘as this is the era of civil service reform,
perhaps the people will stand by the pres-
‘cnt incumbent, Sheriff Crosby, who has
proved himself the “right man in the
right place.” People are looking this
year less at merely party distinctions and
more at personal honesty, capacity and fit-
ness. In such a scrutiny as this Sheriff
Crosby can stand the test with any of
them—Stamford Advocate.
