The Cross Sound lorry.
The first trip of the “Joshua Levinnss"
the new steamer to ply between Hunting- -
ton, L. 1., and Norwalk and Bridgeport,
was made on Monday last, at which time
the boat, carrying the stockholders and a
number of their friends, arrived at South
Norwalk dock, shortly after noon. The
visitors were escorted to the Mahackemo
hotel where they were served with dinner,
after which they were shown to the rooms
of the Board of Trade and received and
welcomed bya number of citizens. A per}
tion of the guests visited the various points
of interest in the city after which they
had an interview with the I). & N. R. R.
Officials, relative to the latter’s facilities in
shipping strawberries in cars from Wilson
Point to Boston and other points in New
England. The railroad officials expressed
their willingness to accommodate the new
enterprise in every way and at their sug-
gestion a conference with the officers of
the Consolidated road was arranged and
will shortly be held. _ .
The visitors started for home about half-
past four, expressing pleasure at their
kindly reception and~confidence that the
new enterprise will be successful from the
start. ‘
The “Joshua Leviness” will commence
her regular trips next Monday. From the
Huntington Long Islander we clip the fol-
lowing schedule of trips as at present ar-
ranged: ‘
Monday afternoon
South Norwalk; Tu
South Norwalk to Huntin
same morning; Tuesday
to Huntington; Wednesday
.be open to special engagements; Thurs-
day to Norwalk in the morning and back
in the afternoon'; Friday to Bridgeport in
the morning and back in the afternoon;
Saturday open to special engagements.
It is expected that the trip between
Huntington and South Norwalk will con-
sume about two hours each way.

Golden Weddinz.
Mr. and Mrs. John Benedict celebrated
the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage
at their home in New_Canaan last evening.
A large number of their friends and rela-
tives, some 90 in all, assembled to tender
their congratulations to the aged twain.
A purse of $113 in gold was presented
them, Rev. Dr. Greenleaf making the pre-
sentation speech to which Mr. Benedict
neatly responded. The purse which held
the gold was knit by the widow of the
late Stephen Hoyt, who with her husband,
then alive, celebrated their golden wed.
ding eleven years ago. Two handsome
easy chairs were also presented to the
couple. All the living relatives of Mr. and
Mrs. Benedict were present, one lady, a
niece, having come all the way from
Georgia to be present. About midnight a
supper was served and after the most
hearty congratulations had been extended
to the aged pair the company broke up.
Mr. Benedict is an uncle of George M.
and J. Morris Benedict of this town.

His Innocence Proved.
Lewis B. Johnson of Norwalk, who
recently received official notice that his
back pay and bounty was paid his widow
is in receipt of a letter from a soldier
named O. F. Yale of Thomaston, Conn.,
who explains our “Lew's” double by
saying that he was beside him when he
died and that “he was a comrade and
bosom friend,” and thathiswidow’s name
was Eliza L. Johnson who received his
back pay and bounty. This seems to
relieve our friend “Lew" of his dreadful
doubt of his being dead, and the more
harrowing one of his having a widow
running loose in eastern Connecticut.
Mrs. Johnson should also have her confi-
dence reassured, if she has ever enter-
tained a suspicion that her husband had
a widow.

Military Matters.
By order from the adjutant-general the
tactics for the military of this state will be
modified thus : The’length of direct step
will be thirty inches, the cadence ninety
steps per minute common time, and 120
quick time, the short and back steps in
common' and quick time fifteen inches,
double step thirty.five inches, and the
cadence 180 per minute, balance step fif-
teen inches, the pivot man step ten inches,
in column fifteen inches. '
The companies are ordered for a day’s
parade in May in the towns where they
are loeated. A portion of the day will be
devoted to rifle practice, the remainder to
drill. Instruction in guard duty will
form a part of the duty. Companies hav—
ing 50 per cent. qualified marksman will

A Wise Succestion.
A valuable feature of the Cross Sound
Ferry enterprise would be the employ-
ment of a man on the Connecticut shore to
visit between Daubury, Norwalk, Bridge-
port and other points daily to arrange for
a suitable market for the materials to be
transported by our farmers. This would
be more in the matter of perishable pro-
ducts than in any other. Asparagus,
strawberries,raspberries, early peas, beans,
and sweet corn will undoubtedly be ship-
ped in large quantities during the ensuing
season, and we trust that a ready market
will be insured in order that no discour-
agement may arise from a failure owing
to a want of understanding between ship—
pers and receivers—Long Islander.

Borouch WaterIn East Norwalk.
The water commissioners having decid-
ed to extend the borough water pipes
down‘to East Norwalk the contract for
laying the pipes— was awarded to C. T.
- Leonard do Son last week. The contract
calls for iron pipe to be run from the
present terminus near Wm. H. Earles to
a point near the old tidemill. The pipes
will also run through Osborne avenue,
Henry street, VauZandt avenue, down.
the Fort Point road, and through part of
Hoyt street. The work will be commenced
as soon as the pipe can be had, which will
probably be about June 1st.

The Kite Won’t Fly.
The difficulty with the Port Chester,
Ridgefield and Daubury Railroad’s kite, of
which we hear so much every spring, is
that it won’t fly.
The little Daubury & Norwalk will
continue, as heretofore, to fully and sat- '
isfactorily answer every public demand in
this direction and remain master of the
situation. ,
Repentance Comes Too Late. .
The Rev. Thomas Paulson, a prominent
Methodist clergyman, repudiates the ac-
tion of the temperance alliance in organ-
izing as a political party, and declares it
unwise and against the best interest of the
temperance cause. William Daniels, late
candidate for vice-president on the pro-
hibition ticket, sustains his views.

Forty-three Persons Poisoned by Ice
Saturday evening the ladies of the
Methodist Society in Rowayton gave a
sociable, to swell the society fund. It
was attended by a large number ofciti-
zens, a good percentage being young
people. Among other-pleasant features
of the occasion was a quantity of ice
cream furnished by Mrs. Tuttle, which, as
is inevitably the case, was in great de-
mand, and nearly all present partook of
theluscious dish. Shortly after the party
dispersed, those who, had eaten of the
cream began to feel distressed, and, the
feeling intensifying instead of diminishing,
Dr. Bohanan of South Norwalk, was
hastily summoned. He arrived about One
o’clock Sunday morning and immediately
saw that the patients had been poisoned,
and prescribed accordingly. His brother
from Stamford, also a physician, was
summoned and by their prompt, reflective
efforts the patients were soon out of
danger. Many of them vomited blood
and suffered great distress, while others
were afiected only slightly.
{The freezer in which the cream was
prepared is made of tin, with a galvanized
bottom, and it is the opinion of Drs. Bo.
hanan that the galvanic action of the
metals, caused probably by the agitation
or-“churning” of the cream in the process
of freezing, developed a corrosive poison
which permeated the contenst and caused
all the trouble. The symptoms in the
most violent cases were those of corrosive
poisoning.
Forty.throe persons were thus poisoned
and although none have died, the result
Would have been fatal in some cases but
for the prompt summoning and etfectiv e
measures of the physicians. MOst of the
patients are almost fully recovered, but a
few are yet confined to their beds, and all
are doing well.

Killed by the Cars.
Saturday evening as the passenger train
leaving Norwalk at 6:20 was approaching
Daubury, the form of a man was seen by
the engineer lying on the track between
the rails. It was impossible to stop the
train, however, until all the cars had
passed over him. He was found to have
been literally crushed and torn to shreds
and his remains were scattered along the
track for several rods. The work 'of
' gathering up the fragments was a sicken-
ing job, but he was finally raked together
and taken to the Danbury morgue where,
by his clothing, he was identified as
George Brower of Ridgefield. He was
warned that afternoon by the police that
he must leave town or be arrested, as a
troublesome vagabond. He left .town on
foot, intoxicated, and carried a loaded
bottle with him, and it is quite probable
that he got himself too drunk to walk,
when he fell in a stupor on the track.
He was about thirty years old, and leaves
a wife.
Yesterday noon another victim was
added to the list. John :Burke of Dan-
bury, who was in the habit of riding on
the noon passenger train as for as his
boarding place, some rods south of the
Danbury depot, undertook as usual,
yesterday noon, to jump from the forward
platform of the baggage car of Conductor
Pulling’s train. In striking the ground
he lost his balance and fell back across
the rail back of the forward truck of the
car, and half the baggage car and two
passenger cars. ran over his abdomen.
He lived about fifteen minutes after being
picked up.
A Feast for Queen Vic.
William Merrill, a Norwalk oyster deal—
er, received an order a few days ago for
some select oysters for Queen Victoria.
The dredgers were sent out to deep water,
where live the highest flavored oysters,
and fished up from the choicest beds a lot
from which 1,000 were selected with
great care. They were all about of a size
with salt water until there wasn’t a speck
of mud upon them. Then the shells were
thoroughly sandpapered, bringing out the
vé‘ins and producing a rough polish.
Then they were packed carefully in a
strong barrel and shipped by a fast steam-
er. It was expected that they would be
in London within seven days from the
time of shipping‘and would all be sound,
of good flavor, and about as fat as when
shipped. The demand for Norwalk
oysters steadily increases from Great
Britain. Last week 500 barrels were ship-
ped to New York for immediate export to
London. They are packedinbarrels each
barrel containing about 1,000 oysters.—

Serious Runaway.
Saturday morning Mr. J Olin Bouton was
thrown from‘his carriage and seriously in-
jured. As he was coming across the Brady
bridge over the Norwalk river the jack-
bolt broke letting the shafts down on the
horse’s heels. The animal started to run
and Mr. Bouton, to stop him, turned him
towards the high fence. on River street.
In turning the wagon was upset and Mr.
Bouton thrown out. His head probably
struck a stone and he was rendered uncon-
scious. He was carried into a neighbor-
ing house and medical aid summoned
when it was found that his car was badly
cut and his skull cracked. By order of
his physician he was carried home, where,
in spite of his severe injury, he now shows
prospects of a rapid recovery.

Marx and Ike Williams. "
Al Marx, the Texas cowboy and Ike
Williams of Norwalk, between whom a
match was recently made and broken off
by Marx, came together at Madison
Square Garden, Friday evening, at an
athletic exhibition given there. The bout
was a warm one and Williams fought his
antagonist to the ropes. When time was
called Williams had the best of it. The
second round 0 ned even livelier than
the first, and illiams was fast getting
Marx used up when Capt. Williams, the
police official in charge, jumped upon the
stage and ordered the men to stop. They
did so, and Williams announced his wish
to meet Marx and spar him to a finish.

Obituary.
nan -At Hi bland Avenue, Orange Valley,
N. J ., April 1 . Hilda,;infafit daughter of the
late Helen Sanford and Harry Seymour
Barnes.
The above brief record reveals with
touching {and eloquent pathos a whole
history of a rarely gifted and sainted
young mother “gone before” to welcome
her babe in realms celestial. It seemsbut
a few brief weeks ago, so rapid is time in
its flight, that we ‘knew this child’s
mother as Miss Helen E. Sanford, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Sanford of
Bedding, her mother having been Miss
Helen Sammis of Norwalk. In her
earliest childhood she evinced a remark-
able literary taste and talent. The unique
originality and afluence of her earlier
compositions challenged the delightful
admiration of all who read them. Under
the non do plume of “Cynthia" her
productions found frequent place in the
Gamma. These contributions extended
also to magazine articles, and always
exhibited such a tender sentiment, subtle
wit and refined humor, as not only
commanded eager and delighted readers,
but gave a sure promise that if her life
were devoted to letters, the genius of
another George Eliot would enrich our
American literature. But next and not
without a tinge of sadness, we heard of
her romantic mamage, while on a tour of
Europe in the ancient Church of St.
Lawrence at Nuremberg, Bavaria, in
August of 1879. Coming home a bride,
and crowned with the devoted love of a
worthy husband she thereafter graced as
only she could do a home in New Jersey.
We next learned of her in that most
sacred of all human relations of mother-
hood. A little daughter came to give
fruition to the hope and happiness of the
w
born late in the last year and in the
joyous new life oftthe little one, went out
the light and life of the radiant and full
orbed sun that shone in such a rich
effulgence about that domestic shrine.
On December 19th the gifted child of
genius, the loved and loving mother, wife,
daughter and sister, died. But to a spirit
so bright and pure and heavenly as hers:
“Death but opens wide the door to life that is
eternal.”
And now the sweet _ babe, whose
mother’s life went out .as a sacrifice
and precursor to its entrance into par-
adise, goes to greet that sainted mother
——a mother so loving, so tender, that she
“Never caused a tear to fall till when she
died.”
And mother and babe redeemed from
sin and pain and sorrow are reunited in
Heaven’s eternal felicities.
MRS. GEORGE G. BISHOP.
Orra A., wife of Mr. George G. Bishop,
who died on Friday last, was the daughter
of the Rev. A. B. Collins, who came to
Norwalk from Stafford Springs and with
his wife,- made his home here with their
daughter, after her marriage to Mr.
Bishop. The aged parents both died at
the Bishop ’mansion. Their daughter,
Miss Orra, came to Norwalk nearly forty
years ago and became the principal of a
select school. She was married to Mr.
Bishop about thirty-four years since.
She was'ia lady of considerable literary
to the columns of the Gamma. She was
warmly attached to her friends, and had
a nature full of generous impulses. She

ISAAC w. ENGLAND.
Mr. England, for the past several years
publisher of the New York Sun, died at
his home in New Jersey, on Saturday
evening. We first know Mr. England as
editor. He was for a short period in the
New York 'Custom House, and then a
government agent at Charleston, in charge
of captured confederate property upon the
chief Mr. DANA (who as managing editor
of the Tribune had learned his worth)
was placed in charge of the new Chicago
Republican, he sent for Mr. England to
become the city editor of that paper.
Returning east the next year, he became
editor of the Jersey City Journal, where
he remained until again called by Mr.
Dana to become the managing editor of the
newly purchased and reorganized New
York Sun. 0n the retirement of Mr. A.
H. Byington from that enterprise, Mr.
England became his successor as publish;
or of the Sun, a position he has filled
with conspicuous ability and success up
to the time of his death. He was a man
~ of the most generous, ii’oble nature, strong
in his attachments to friends and princi-
ples, of inflexible integrity and tireless
industry. One of the pathetic incidents
of our ‘acquaintance with Mr. England,
was our inducing him to come to Norwalk
to spend a summer with his family which
he did in 1871, they finding a pleasant
home with the Mr. Platt Raymond family
Down Town. Here his wife very sud-
denly died, about mid summer, and all his
enjoyable surroundings and anticipated
delights, went outin unutterable darkness
and woe. His eldest son made .the
acquaintance of and subsequently married
Miss Emma, a daughter of Edward
Whitman of South Norwalk. Mr. Eng-
land a few years since married a New J er-
sey lady, who is left awidow. He leaves
five children.

On Wednesday night about 10 o’clock
Mr. Jabez Wheater was assaulted by three
drunken men as he was about entering
his own gate on Belden avenue. .He re-
sisted desperately, and got away from

he failed to find. Wheater and Peach
then started out in pursuit of the rufilans,
and overtook them near the park, where
a desperate fight ensued. Peach got in a
sturdy blow, but was immediately knocked
down, whereupon he beat an orderly re-
treat so expeditiously as to lose both his
slippers. He then returned and found
Mr. Wheater lying in the gutter too weak
to stand and badly cut and bruised about
the head. He was taken to his home
and for:a time it was feared his wounds
would prove fatal. ‘
, The police were immediately notifiefiof
the fracas, but as no one knew who the
guilty parties were they labored under a
disadvantage. However, suspicion point-
ed to Arthur Williams, a foundryman,
and he was arrested by Chief Lockwood,
and confined in the lockup: On Thursday
he was given a hearing before Judge
Selleck, who fined him $3.00and costs for
drunkenness, and bound him over in $300
to appear for trial before the superior
court on the charge of assault. Failing

.Williams “squealed" on one' of his
accomplices, William Gormley, but ‘ ‘didn’t
remember" the name of the other. It is
suspected, however, that the third party
is Thomas McKigney. Both Gormley
and McKigney have disappeared, and
their whereabouts sale yet unknown.
Mr. Wheater is improving, although it
was at first feared that his injuries were
of a dangerous character. As it was,
they were suflciently serious to warrant
the incarceration of the brutal assailants
'where they would be less likely to en-
danger the lives and limbs ofpeaceable
citizens.

Rev. Talmage believes in a literal

sermon on the subject he said, “we have
two or three useless physical apparati,

He cracks the nut, however, with the
solution that, being “gloriously suggest-

of reorganization of the “resurrection

A Olrcus at Half Price.
It‘ is now some thirty years since Mr.
Hyatt Frost advanced the price of admis.
sion to the VanAmburgh Show from a
quarter to a half dollar. As Mr. Frost
admits, one reason for the increase was
the large expenditures in advertising the
show; little by little they had grown to
extravagant figures, renderingit necessary
to, add to the price of admission. The
expenses were greater but the show was
no better. In equipping the establish-
ment for its sixty-fifth tour, Manager Frost
associated himself with the Reiche Bros.,
the famous wild beast importers. The
new alliance permitted him to collect the
menagerie at first cost. In the advertisiu
department he is assisted by a practica
working staff. The usual vehicles for
communicating the coming of the show
i
to the public willbe judiciously emplo ed,~.
but without wasteful extravagance. re-
dicating his receipts upon fu 1 houses at
all performances, the price of admission
has been placed at twenty-five cents, and
we venture to remark that at this reason-
able, price there will be a less number of
fathers to sneak alone to the show to see
the bold riders and hear the funny clowns,
leaving their children at home. In our
opinion the veteran shownan has not
counted without his host, and Van-
Amburgh, Charles Reiche & Brother, will
be welcomed here Saturday, May 9th, by
those who will enjoy the circus and men-
agerie all the better from the fact that it
is A 1 in every respect, but at the same
time only “ half price all round."

First Class Goods,
In which merit is at once recognized,
are now, and always have been, imitated,
especiall themanufactured article. After
years of abor, and the expenditure of a
fortune, in perfecting and placing before
the public that which people appreciate ,
and demand, some one who never had an
original idea offers a counterfeit or
substitute to compete With the genuine.
Curtis Davis (I? 00., makers of the
“ Welcome Soap,” find the above true in
their case at least, the excellence of whose
productions are coerywhoreackuowledged
as the “standard” ,of quality, being imi-
tated in every way that competition can
suggest. But inthe use of their goods,
.the consumer realizes the full benefit of
'value received. Welcome Soap confirms
and sustains their great reputation.

After careful consideration, and with the view of granting to policy.
holders whatever benefits the experience of the company has shown to
be wise and safe, a new form of policy 'has been prepared, known as
THE FIVE YEAR DISTRIBUTION POLICY.
This is a well matured plan and Offers to the irsnring public many
advantages. it introduces all the liberal features which its own expel-
ience or that ot'votlier institutions have shown to be popular, never
forgetting that first of considerations—the absolute safety of the great
. a
fund held in trust by the managers-lot this institution.
A few of the features which characterize the “Five Year Distri-
bution Policy,” are :
‘ ‘
Policy-holders are allowed a freedom of residence and travel much
beyond the ordinary limits, covering it is believed, the requirements
of ordinary business or pleasure, and without additional premium or
extra charge.
Death claims arising under policies issued on this plan, will be
payable as soon as saiiV‘uctory proofs are presented to and accepted by
the Uontpany.
o
Policies of this description may be issued to an amount not ex-
ceeding $50,000 upon a single life, inclusive Ofail other policies and
additions issued by this Company, upon the same life, and at ages from
eighteen to sixty-five years. ,Also upon lives of females to the amount
of $10,000.
A Paid-up Policy is guaranteed at any time after the third ‘mnua
premium is paid, in accordance with the laws oi'tlie State of New York.
This company is now paying about $1,000 per day in matured
claims to citizens of Connecticut and we give below a iewillustratious
