Wednesday night, besides being Hul- lowe’en, was also the one hundred and ninety sixth anniversary of the hiding of the Charter of Connecticut in the hollow of the old oak tree, by Captain Joseph Wadsworth. It wasa dark and dismal night. The historic parchment has cut- lived the trec that once hid it. Very brilliant northern lights were ob- - served Friday evening manifesting them selves soon after the sun went down. They extended from the northwest far into the east,and many who saw them thought they were the rrfiection of some distant fire. At one time it was almost light enough from the strange phenome non to read print. The sight was one of rare beauty.- The annual convention of the National Cotton Planters’ association, convenes in Vicksburg, Miss, on the 21st instant.

They proceeded to the second story, on which the office is situated, and got into that by prying of! the lock. They next examined the safe, and having, in some mysterious and unexplained way discovered the lock combination, opened the doors without the use of powder or jimmy. From a drawer inside they forc- ed the bolt', with which it was held no. cure, and took therefrom about $5,000 in bills, and succeeded in getting out of the building with the money and without at- tracting the attention of the police. —-DeKlyn is now manufacturing his own confectionery. _.

The Wyoming valley, New York, was covered with snow at midnight Thursday, tlrcflrst snowfall of the winter of 1883 and 1884. At the Democratic caucuses, held last Friday evening, Messrs. Charles E. St. John, of the borough, and L. W. Sandi. forth, of the city, were nominated for representatives to the State Legislature. Rumors were rife Saturday that the no torious Sam Pine had been captured. Re- port placed the location in various towns. All rumors to that effect were untrue. Descriptive circulars have been sent all over the county by Sheriff Crosby. It is thought Pine will eventually get into an- other scrape and he captured. The Springfield Union has the follow- ing reference to the death of the aged mother of Mr. Thomas Warner, Jr., who was for so many years cashier of the Fair- fleld County bank :— Sarah, wife of Thomas Warner, died yesterday, at her home at the corner of High and Walnut streets, after an ill- ness of less than a week. Mrs. Warner, who was in her 89th year, had spent nearly her whole life in this city. She married Mr. Warner, who now survives her in his 91st year, but is very feeble in health, 71 years ago, and was the mother of 11 children of whom Thomas Warner, J r.,- for many years cashier of the Chico pee National bank is the oldest. The romantic experience of Miss Beach, the Bethel young lady who wrote her name on the band of a hat and finally married the New Orleans gentleman into whose hands it fell, has had an unexpect» ed sequel. Of course the other girls in the hat shop did the same thing. and now a western firm has refused a consignment of hats,'sent on their order, because so many of them have young women's names written inside the band. The above, condensed from an item which appeared about two weeks ago in the city column of the Ssm-Wnnxnv Gazn'r'rn, has gone the rounds of the state press, and now finds its way into the columns of the local papers. It was in a South Norwalk factory, and not in Bethel, where the trouble occurred. Confirmation. . Bishop Williams administered the rite of confirmation to 68 persons at St. Paul’s Sunday morning and preached at Trinity chapel in the evening. Owing to exces- sive fatigue, the Bishop was unable to preach at the vesper service at St. Paul‘s as expected. The confirmation was one of the largest ever held in ‘the diocese. The majority of those who Were confirmed, are in the bloom of young manhood and we- manhood, witnessed a good confession, and knelt to receive confirming grace and strengtlr.' The unviearied interest and ef- forts of the rector have been signally blest, and the day although laborious must have been a happy day to him, as it was one to belong remembered by his people. The Bishop’s masterly discourse was list- ened to by a congregation which thronged the edifice,even to its vestibule, and' after the sermon between three and four hun- dred of the number remai mud to receive the Holy Communion. m- A Tough Crowd. ‘ The company which undertook to cdify a Norwalk audience by the presentation of Rose Michel, at Music Hall, last Friday evening, was of a class which it is to be hoped will never come to this place again. The reputation of Miss Eytinge had prc- ceded her, and though a small audience greeted her, it was composed of the elite of the place. It soon became apparent that the .actors'and .actresscswcre either intoxicated or in for a night of frolic, for “guying” and laughing was their princi In ‘thc most solemn scenes of the play, c ts and dogs would mysteriously appear upon the stage and thus the entire play was turned to a farce. lilies Eytinge may have no reputation to loss, but if she has, in this localizy at least, she and her company have forfeited all right to the public l‘fspcci. l-Icr course and that of the troupe was nothing less than a gross and deliberate insult to the audience, and in future it will be bet tor for all parties concerned if the troupe steer clear of Nor-walk. It is but just to Manager Knapp to say that he did all in his power to suppress the disorder, but his efforts were unavailing. About Sealskius. Messrs. W. B HalldrCo , the dry goods men of Bridgeport, deal largely in seal sacques, seal dolmans and fur-lined garments generally, ’. and have a wide reputation for selling good wearing and good fitting garments. Genuine English laska seal skins are getting scarcer every year, and the prices in both Europe and America are steadily advancing. In con- sequence of this fact an inferior grade of skins that are caught on the co rst of' China, are shipped to America, and dyed and solders genuine goods. These goods for two orthrcc months look very well, but soon show wear on the edges, change color and look generally dilapidated. One of thercasons-why this house hold their trade is because they have always sold only the real London dyed Alaska skins. This house is now offering great bargains in wide black velvcts, plain and brocadrd velvcts, as well as in black and colored silks, Ladies who are going to Bridgcpm‘t shopping should read the an- nouncement today by the silk and cloak house of W. B. Hall & Co. Burglars at Work. Jacksou's jewelry store was entered by ‘ burglars during Friday night and robbed of goods to the value of $250. The bur- glars effected an entrance to the building by prying open the basement door, then ascended the stairs, and with the use of a crowbar made a hole in the door leading into the store large enough to reach in and unlock the door. The stolcd goods consisted mainly of cuff-buttons, studs and small jewelry—mostly solid ware; two dozen silver watches, belonging to the store, and $6 or $7 in cash were also secured. The crowbar, hammers, etc, which the burglars used were taken from the cellar of the new store new building for Mr. Jaqni, directly opposite. No clue, save three broken blades of a new pen-knife, were left by the burglars. It was evident that they had plenty of time for deliberation. Runaway. . Our friend, J. T. Prowitt, met with a serious loss on Saturday. His hired man had driven his pretty little bay horse, for which Mr. P. had recently paid $250, to So. Norwalk. He hitched him to a post in Marshall street, where something fright- ened it and it dashed down the street and off Fetris’ dock. Here desperate efforts were made to save the animal, but without avail. Being fastened to the wagon, which was evidently fast in the mud, the horse alter floundering about for a short time, gave up the struggle. The wagon, which was a new one, was considerably .damagr d, but it and its contents, with the exception of slap-robe, were saved. . , Halt! 'What’s'oi‘emn warning is presentcd to the dissipated, the thoughtless and trivi— ions of both sexes in the distressing, almost tragic deaths, within thepast few days, of two-once upright and reputable Norwalk women, fallen, oh so terribly fallen, through the sure and certain degre- dation of an association with evil com- panions, and an unrestrained indulgence in strong drink.

It is claimed by those professing to know, that all the “moral" and immoral influences of the Consolidated railroad are being broughtto bear for the election of Mr. Hyatt. Mr. S. K.

There will be plenty of light on the sub- ject to say the least. ' . Mrs. Senator Ferry, who has returned to Norwalk met with a painful accident yesterday. In placing a stick of wood on the fire a cotton bandage on her index finger caught fire and her finger already painfully sore, was badly burned before the rag could be removed. Fanny Davenport was booked to appear at the Opera House on the evening of the 14th inst., but owing to her wonderfully successful season in New York has con- cluded to remain’there for the present, and has telegraphed Manager Mitchell cancelling her engagement. Mrs. C. R. Bennett, formerly of South Norwalk, died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Pittman, in Somerville, Mass, Thursday. Her remains were forwarded to Norwalk Friday, and the funeral services were held at the resi- dence of her father-in-law, Mr. Eli B. Benin-ti, on East avenue Saturday. The re rumination of Messrs. Cowles and llcli ensures the success of our repre- sentative ticket. The election of Mr. Cowles for the fourth time will be an ex- ceptional honor, as no represenative was ever sent from this town for four terms consecutively. Vote early that you may devote the day to aiding in getting out a full vole. While shooting at a target in Winni- pnrrk, Thursday afternoon, William Col- lingc, an Englishman employed at H. E.

Dr. Clarkcuttended him and is in hopes of saving the foot.

Sturges. G. B. St. John, Charles Smith,>0. W. Raymond. ’ The Stamford firemen are certainly en- ergetic. The night of the burning of Mrs. John Fitch Raymond’s barn in San- gatuck they ran out their apparatus under the impression that the fire was in Stain ford. Last Sunday night the glare from Austin's burning mills in Silver Mine tcaused them to make the same error. Well, being too careful is better than not being careful enough. At the adjourned meeting of delegates field county, held in the First Baptist church, Bridgeport, Monday, it was voted to, organize a “Fairfiold County Bible School Union,". to be composed of the Baptist-schools in the county. Mr. John W. Scott of South Nor-walk, was elected secretary; Mr. J. L. Ambler of Norwalk treasurer and Rev. Mr. Gonegal one of theexecntivc committees. Rev. S. B. S. Bissell informs us that it was thirty years ago on the 1st of November, when he retired from the pastorate of the let church of Greenwich ' and'entered the service of the American Sunday School Union, in which he has continued to this day excepting an inter val of five years, when he was secretary of the American Seamen's Society. All these years he has been a commuter on the Consolidated railroad, and has never received a scratch. Some two or three weeks ago a young colored lad not over eleven or twelve years of age, was in town soliciting sub- scriptions for the building of a mission church in Stamford. He succeeded in raising quite a large sum by means of five and ten cent contributions. He had it along story and rattled it of! with ac- complished ease. From here he went towards Bridgeport and, after victimizing anumbcr of people in that place was discovered perched in a convenient posi- tion on‘tho depot platform pulling for dear life on a big cigar. His humility had disappeared, and he was the picture of impudcnce. On being addressed he denied that he had solicited money, or knew anything about Stamford or a church there, and proved the latter part of the assertion by :the volubility with which be employed slang, obscenity and profanity.

Byrne, pastor of St. Mary's church, Bethel, died last Sunday evening at about 6 o'clock, after a brief illness. FatherByrne 'was ordained about five years ago, and his first appoint- ment was in Norwalk. He was curate in Danbury under Father Lawlor, and after that had charge of the parish at Litch- field. Thence he went to Bethel only a few months ago. The parish has sus- tained in the death of their beloved pastor at serlous loss. The funeral services were held Wednesday, the chu rch being crowded to its utmost, and the casket covered with floral designs. Rev. Father Lawlor, of Danbury. delivered the ser- man, The tug George Dentz, with a fleet of barges, went ashore on White Rock reef, at the mouth of the harbor, during Thurs- day night. The particulars, as learned from the captain of the tug, were that the Dentz left New York Thursday morn— ing with seven barges in tow—three of coal, two of lumber and two of mould- ers' sand, bound for New Haven. When hawser became fouled with the propeller wheel, and it was found necessary to an- chor. During the night the wind blew strongly from the northwest, the anchors dragged and the entire fleet was heaped in a pile on the reef. The captain came to Norwalk Friday morning, telephoned to the owners of the lug in New York for assistance, and then with the tug Freddie W. Decker and a lighter went to the relief of the fleet. 'I‘hc_lumbcr barges were lighted and floated and whrn assist- ance from New York arrived the balance of the fleet, in a leaky condition, was hauled off the reef, with the exception of one of the sand barges, which went un- der and will he ntotal wreck. The tug from New York proceeded towards New Haven with the barges in tow, while the Dentz was beached for repairs. _.._._..._..._____— . Another Norwalk Woman Dead. Mrs. A'rvilla Thompson, the divorced wife of Edward Thompson a former pro- prietor of the Connecticut hotel, and daughter of D. Banks Morchousc former- ly landlord at the Adams House, died suddenly in New Haven Wednesday. A number of suspicious circumstances about the case led to the report that a murder had been committed but aftera thorough examination the coroner decided that such was not the case. Mr. Morehouse was notified and immediately went to New l Haven and took charge of his daughter’s remains, which he yesterday caused to be removed to Westport for burial. Mrs. Thompson will be well remembered here where she once had many acquaintances, and friends. Her aged father will I'Cnl ceive sincere sympathy in this, not the' least of his family troubles. 'L Friday morning, Medical Examiner'- White of New Haven, and his assistant, Dr. Elliott, came to the conclusion that Mrs. Thompson, came to her death from Bright's disease of the kidneys. oo————— Un-“Truthful Jesms.” Senator Baker‘s friends LON have an opportunity to see how much reliance. can be placed on plt-dgts made by Mr. Hyatt. He gave Mr. Baker assurances just as strong as he did Governor Bigo— low, that he would refralu from all purri— san efforf, while holding the office .of Bank Commissioner. This he did nut only verbally but in writing, as scores of republicans know, for he himself repur- ed these assuranCes of proper behavior. He is keeping these pledges of (I‘Ct'bt party conduct he made, by attempting to debauch votes with money and by in- trigues never known hereabouts before, by contracting with all livery stables not: to let a carriage go out to getin a vote l for Mr. Baker. Illness of Benjamin Fitch. The above venerable philanthropist is now quite seriously ill at his Fifth Avr~ nue residence in New York. Last March as we then announced, Mr. Fitch had a stroke of paralysis. From this he has never recovered, and while his advanc- ed age of eighty-one years makes recovery extremely doubtful, his physician is still hopeful of prolonging his patient’s valu- able and useful life. Since founding “ Fitch’s Home" at Non-ton, he has estab- lished an institution for the poor of Buf- falo and endowed it with some three hur - dred thousand dollars. An Uncommon Anxiety. The “uncommon anxiety for office" manifested by Bank Commissioner Hyatt, in accepting the nomination for senator from the Democrats isbeing used, very properly, among the best portion of the people of his district against him. It is a manifest impropriety which even the average Democratic voter can see and appreciate and if it results in diminishing his vote, '1 it may be a very proper and natural consequence which will reflect credit . upon the good sense of the district at} large—Bridgeport Standard. ———-—————o¢o—-—-—-—' Rest at Last. . Thofuncral of the late Wm. Randal Smith was very largely attended on Tues- day, there having been from three to four hundred present.

An Incendiary Sentenced. John O’Neil who recently fired the barn belonging to Mrs. John Fitch Ray- mond in SaugatuCk, Was aentenéed to three years in state’s prison, Thursday, in the superior court at Bridgeport. A large barn owned by Samuel Foote, 'Branford, was destroyed by fire, Sunday evening; loss $2,000 or $3,000.

Ground was broken yesterday at Branchvllle for’ the foundation of the mill to be erected by the Hydro-Pneumatic Ore Mill 00., for the reduction of quartz and feldspar. The mill, 150x00 feet, is to be a frame building with solid bed for the crushers, and it is expected that the building and machinery'will he in work- ing order by February 1. There are three boilers to be put in the mill of 75 horse power capacity each, and one of, the crushers put in as soon as the mill is enclosed. The capacity of. the new re- ducer is 20 tons per day, and more will be added as soon hs it can be got to the mill. The demand for feldspar abroad, and quartz at home, is large and constantly increasing. This new enterprise will be a material aid in in the way of coal freights up, and crushed quartz and feldspar down the Danbury and Norwalk railroad. BEDDING. Deacon and Mrs. T. M.
