around the Italians’ quarters onINoble

shot was heard. During the night the
‘police found two men, Thomas Dwyer of

In Friday’s Steam-den article credited
to the Danbury Republican, states that the
steamer Rosedale will touch at Wilson’s
Point for the landing of freight and
passengers, provided the managers can
make- the necessary arrangements with
the Danbury and Norwalk railroad
officials. In a conversation with Colonel
Lockwood, president of the road, we
learned that no such arrangement could
be made, as the railroad men consider the
present, boat “Harlem” in every way
' adequate to meet all demands upon it.
With an average of but twenty-five pounds,
of steam the boat makes the trip to New
York in two hours- and twenty minutes,
afeat which the Rosedale could hardly
surpass. Furthermore the “Harlem" is
secured for the season Iand it would be
nothing less than bad faith for the
railroad men to make arrangements with
any other steamer. The “Harlem” is
shortly to be fitted up with nicely uphol-
stered seats and will thus combine all the
elements of comfort with all the requisite
speed and safety. ' .

before Judge Selleck, Saturday on the.
charge of instigating and abetting forgery.
Their names were Jerry Cahill, Tom Law—

Eddie Henry, Eddie Kelly, George Button
and Thomas Donnell. One of the boys
had forged the name of, Benjamin J.
Sturges to a check for $25 and had pre-
sented it at theNational Bank of Norwalk.
Teller Treadwell saw it was a bungling
attempt at forgery but, supposing it some
boy’s play, inadvertentlyhanded the check
back and the boys subsequently destroyed
it.Later the affair came to the ears of the par-
ties in interest and the boys were arrested
and after a short examination the trial was
postponed till next Saturday. The object
of the boys was to obtain money with,
which to go to Bridgeport and have a
good time. One of the boys bears a bad
name,=,he on two occasions having stolen

a misstep was thrown headlong down the
iron stairway leading to the cellar and

their favor.

Hood’s» Sarsaparilla
“I have been troubled with scrofula since
childhood. Three years ago I commenced
taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and in one year’s
time was entirely cured.” Mrs. M. H. Park-
ham, Dexter, Me.
“I am employed in the N. D. postofllce, in
this city, as carrier. Durln our late wet
spell, I suffered from what t a doctor. call
muscular rheumatism. I was advised to try
Hood's Sarsaparllla. Idid so, and am entirely
cured." J. V. A. Proudfoot, Chicago, Ill.
The wonderful restoring and renovating
properties of Hood’s Sarsaparllla, combined
with its powar to build up the system, eradi-
cate scrofula, and cleanse the blood of] all
humors, make it the best family medicine
that can be devised; and as a protection from
diseases that originate _in changes of, the
dawns, of climate, and of life, it cannot be
.».\:.-e.:\llcd. If you are suffering from scrofnla,
salt—rheum, or any other obnoxiousllhumor,
Hood’s Sarsaparilla wlll_bring you relief.
IOO Doses One Dollar
The dose of Hood’s Sarsaparllla is only
from one half to two teaspoonfuls, three
times a day. A bottle of Hood’s Sarsaparllla
contains one hundred teaspoonfuls, and lasts
a month; others, dose from six to twenty tea-
spoonfuls a day, and average to last less than
a week. , '
Mr. C. A. Schultz, of Fosteria, Ohio, says:
“I have been using Hood’s Sarsaparilla for
some time, and find it a good thing. I was
troubled with indigestion.”

Cor Sod Ticket Holder.
Mr. P. H. Murphy, station agent at.
Westport station, has invented a ticket
holder to be applied to car seats in passen-
ger cars that promises to do away with
much of the annoyance by the misplacing
by passengers "of their train tickets and
checks, and which will enable the collector
of tickets to mike the collection and ex-
change in' muchless time than is now re-
quired. The difficulty passengers often
have in finding ‘V their tickets when the.
conductors call for them is often great,
and frequently consumes much time and
more patience. This holder, invented by I
Mr. Murphy, is about two inches square,
nickel plated, with flat face and curved ,
back so as to clasp the ticket when insert-
ed. It is applied to the back of each car
seat at the top, and one is thus directly in
front of each passenger. Into it the pas-
senger places his ticket upon taking his
seat, and the collector, when going through
the train, takes up the ticket and inserts a
check if one is required without disturb- j
ing the passenger. These holders are.
to be attached to the Pullman sleepers,
and anyone thot has been awakened many
times during .the night by conductors,
who seem tithe changed at'alrhost every
station, will doubtless appreciate them. i
