They spent the last cent they had for a postal card on which they wrote home that if the walking held out they would fetch around ere the swallows homcward fly. The improvements made in terracing and side-walking the Dr. Pardee place, city, are decidedly attractive. Half the special effort however, put. forth by the city au- thorities to force a few feet more width in Marshall street, if it had been .applied to the erection of gates at the railroad cross. ing, would have saved the lives of at least two worthy citizens. The universal sympathy and interest felt in the sad fate of poor Lockwood .was evinced by the great concourse of people who aflended his funeral at East Norwaik on Sunday. As he lost his life so clearly in the line of duty, the hope and belief is widely expressed that the Consolidated Railroad Co. will make some liberal provision for his widow and or- phan children.

It requires a cruel and ghastly ex- perience to impress the necessity of having gates. at every railroad crossing, especially where highway travel is exten- sively practised.

As the Buffalo Bill train came up thrOugh the cut at Whistleville on Sunday it slackcned 11p and a number of young boys imprOVed the opportunrty by clamber. ing on the cars. Soon after, one of these, Willie Ryan, aged 15, son of the widow of James Ryan, living on Leonard street, borough, either fell or jumped off. The train was just then passing the bridge over the road near Smith & Palmer’s old hat factory. Young Ryan struck the bridge, turned a somersault, striking his head against the beams, and fell through to the street below. Dr. M. B.

The Buffalo Bill Wild West show ar- rived in town Sunday afternoon from Philadelphia on a long train, and was fol- _ lowed to the fair ground by a large th1ong of curious people who watched the work of unloading the paraphernalia with great interest. The street parade yesterday forenoOn was witnessed by an immense concourse of spectators who crowded the streets on both sides. The performance in the afternoon attracted upward of 5,000 people, and the universal verdict was one of satisfaction and delight. Every feature of the programme was enthusiastically applauded. There were marvellous exhi- bitions of skill in shooting, horsemanship, jumping, racing, lassoing, buffalo hunt— The realistic attack on the set. tler’s cabin by Indians, and their repulse bv scouts and cowboys made an _exciting picture that brought the vast audience in- voluntarily to their feet , and the stage coach attack and rescue was equally thrilling.

Gilbert, living on the Rocks road where he had recently moved, was engaged in overseeing the work of digging a well on. his premises Wednesday even- ing. Ashe was standing near the edge of the excavation, which was then 24 feet ,deep, he was“ suddenly seized with an epileptic fit, to which'he was subject, and staggering forward, plunged headlong in- to the well. An assistant named Coley descended by means of a rope as quickly as' possible, and raised Mr. Gilbert’s head, which was under water, and the insensible man was drawn to the surface by means of the windlass. Medical attendance was summOned, and everything possible was done to relieve the unfortunate man, but in spite of the best of care he died on Thursday afternoon. The terrible blow toMrs. Gilbert has bereft her of reason, but there is hope of her complete recovery. -————-—<.>-————— Tnnlnz Tammany. Mr. f‘Joe” Tammany was presented a 'few days ago- with an elegant gold watch byhis numerous friends in the borough and city, as a mark of their appreciation of his efforts inthe cause of labor. All through the long strike Mr. Tammany was tireless in his devotion to the interests of the strikers, and the good orderpre- veiling throughout, its effectively organ- ized syétem, and the confidence of success that pervaded the ranks, were more large- ly at‘ ributable to his leadership than to any other source. The gift' rs worthy and worthily bestowed. It is a lasting re- minder to Joe, of the high esteem in which his co-workers hold him, as well as a con- stant and reliable evidence of the correct time. . Fall From 11. Cherry Tree. On Saturday Mrs. Deborah Clark, living on Chapel street mounted a high ladder leading up into a cherry tree to gather cherries. In some way she lost her bal- ance and fell heavily to the ground, a dis tance of thirty feet, sustaining injuries which the attending physicians think will result in her death, despite the excellent care she is receiving. ‘ r ~—Go to G. M. Ritch’s Livery Stable No.‘ upwards of $2, 500—not a discouraging ' i Distresalng Runaway Accident. ' On Friday evening another runaway accident occurred by which Messrs. B. S. and Cha1les Taylor, of South Norwaik, were seriously hurt. Indeed the condi- tion of the former is so precarious that doubts are entertainediof his complete re- covery. The particulars of the affair are as fol- lows: The Messrs. Taylor were exercis- ing a little black mare. which they were thinking of buying. While driving 11p East avenue the horse became frightened at something, took the bit between his teeth and ran away. The Messrs. Taylor seem to have lost all presence of mind, and each grasped a rein and pulled with all their strength. When in front of the Daskam place one of the reins broke and" the tight hold on the other caused the horse to turn suddenly and head for the lane next to Selleck’s school. The car‘- riage was overturned, and both the Men thrown out. Mr. Charles Taylor was thrown over the fence into Selieck’s- yard and rendered unconscious. B.’S. Taylor struck against the iroii fence, and re- bounded so that the wagon fell upon him. The horse had by this t1mc disengaged himself from the wagon and ran up the lane. Thence he made for South Norwaik and was caught on the drawbridgc, while heading for the open draw. -The saddle, one rein and parts of the bridle were all of the harness left on him. Meanwhile assistance had come to the injuredmen, and one was carried into Mr. William G. Thomas’s house, the other being'taken into the residence of Mr. C. S. V and made a careful examination. He found no bones broken, nor any evidence of :internal injury. The men, however, were badly cut and bruised, and seemed ‘ to have been stupified by the shock. Mr. B. S. Taylor had a cut in his forehead larger than a silver dollar, and lost a great deal of blood. Charles Taylor also had several severe cuts. The wounded men were soon made comfortable and taken to their home on Main street, South Norwaik. A reporter of the Gamma called at the house yester- day aud asked about the men. He was told that their condition was serious, Mr. B. S. Taylor being, and having been, delirious for most of the time since the accident. As he had been in ill health for some time the family feared serious conse- quences. Mr. Charles Taylor was not so seriously hurt, but both seemed to be suffering from concussion. The family did not anticipate fatal results, but thought it would be a long time before either fully recovered. It is an interesting fact that Mr. Taylor had concluded to buy the horse he was driving, but thought he .would give him one more trial. ——————<+>————— Charles Lockwood, Killed. On Wednesday afternoon as the 12:59 passenger traiii going west was approach- ing South Norwaik depot, Flagman Charles M. Lockwood discovered a lady and little boy about to cross the track. Knowing that they must be struck by the rapidly approaching train unless they moved promptly, he sprang to their assist- ance, and just got them clear of the track when the engine thundered by. Poor Lockwood himself, however, was too late to escape. The pilot lifted him” off his feet, his head struck the crossbeam, and he was thrown a considerable distance in the middle of the road, where he was ten- derly picked 11p, unconscious, his skull crushed in, and blood rushing from ,his nose, mouth and ears. ' Physicians were at once summoned and everything possible was done for the 1m. fortunate man’s relief, «but to no avail. At half past five, four hours and a half after he was struck, he died. Regaining consciousness once before he died he uttered something in reference to the es. cape of the lady and boy. He leavesa wife and four children, the youngest hav- ing been born three weeks ago. He was buried on Sunday afternoon, Kabaosa Encampment, and Butler Lodge, I. Q. 0. F., of which deceased was an ofllccr, attending' 1a a body. Pahquioque Comm], 0. U. A. M. ., of Danbury, of which he was a member, was also in attendance, having arrived by special train. Mr. Lockwood was for many years in the employ of the Danbury and-Norwaik Railroad company, and before accepting his last position as flagman, was conductor on a freight train on that road. He had a host of friends and acquaintances along the line of the road, and was universally liked. Mr. Lockwood’s wife and children are in straitened circumstances, and his death removes their only source of support. Several parties have agitated the idea ofa popular subscription for their benefit, and a worthier object could not be found. The Gazn'rra will cheerfully receive and forward to Mrs. Lockwood all sums which the good people of the town may wish to subscribe, and will publish the amounts and donors’ names unlessotherwise re quested. __1__ <+>_-—_—— A Fine Entertainment.

The directors of the Bridgeport hospital have issued a comprehensive circular announcing the establishment of a training school for nurses in connection with the hospital, and they desire to give the preference to candidates from Fair-field county, so far as possible. The course of training as laid down in the circular is indespensible to a professional nurse, and will be improved by--many, for securing, ons uch advantageous terms as the direct— ors offer, a thorough training in a good Samaritan calling. Candidates are to be from‘ 21 to 35' years of age, and will be emplOyed as assistant nurses in the wards of the hospital, and will receive $10. 00 per month during the first year, and $14. 00 per month during the second. ”This sum,” say the directors, “is in no wise in- tended as wages, it being considered that their education during this time is a full 5 equivalent for their services.” _ Lockwood.

Richards, of Washington, is in town, at the home of relatives. Three prayer-meetings were appointed for this week and unusual interest in reiig ious work is shown. * Miss Lillie Bennett, who has been visit. ing Darien relatives, returned to her home in’Bethel last week. Mrs. John G. Simonds, of Springfield, Mass, is spending a short time with her parents in this town. Last week, Mrs. Catharine Hodges and Mrs. Louise Belden, of Brooklyn, were in Darien visiting friends. Sunday evening there were no services in the Congregational church, a union meeting being held in the Methodist church . Darien is filled with boarders who have left the heated city to enjoy the quiet and the pleasant walks and drives which ren- Ide1 this little town so attractive in the summer. The annual school meeting cf the Centre district was held' 1n the school house last Monday evening. Mr. Albert H. Seofield was re-appointed committee and Mr. Walter Bates, clerk. Mr. James Burns has been sent to Da- rien as a bible agent by the Connecticut Bible society. His duty is to see that every family 1n town' 15 supplied with the Bible.

Benajah Gilbert sustained his annual loss of a valuable c0w on Friday, of milk fever. Every year for the last eleven years without a single omission he has lost ‘a cow from some natural cause, and' gen- erally the best' in his herd. Last Friday a stranger appeared' 1n town, ‘ considerably the worse for the unwieldy cargo of tangle3foot he had on board. It was observed that he was a queer acting customer, but not more so perhaps, than any other poor wretch with such aburden as he had to. carry. Interest' In his actions was intensified, however, when he began to fight' 1n the street with invisible snakes, and hold high carnival with imaginary devils.and howl with terror as he struggled to release himself from the clutches of a fork-tonged monster that didn’t have hold of’ him. It was a clear case of delirum tremens, and he was taken in custody and brought to Norwaik. to be disposed of by the great, good and infallible wise heads that preside over the destinies of that Utopian borough. He gave his name as “Joe Tompkins, son ofJohn Tompkins, of , Patterson.’.’ ' . , The “Evil 31111-11." nailed. Dr. Carver, who was arrested 1n Willi- mantic last week for libeling BulfaloBill, has secured bonds, his brother-in-law, Hugh Daly, a prominent lawyer, giving _bonds' m- the sum of $15,.000 The trial will come off in Boptember. There is considerable hot blood married, and sym- pathizers of- both side's are enthusiastic and full of fight. A duel between Carver and Buflalo' Bill was talked of, but the idea is scouted by those intimate with either party. A large number from this place attcnd-" ‘ NORWALK GAZETTE, TUESDAY JULY14 i885 BETHEL. Hatting is picking up. A little Methodist brother was born on Wednesday, unto Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Green. The frame of Fred Cole’s new house 011 Greenwood avenue was raised , on Wed- nesday with appropriate ceremonies. Jim Reid has sold his trotter to George A. Shepard, which is an assurance that the new horse car railroad will be a rapid transit line. At the Alert firemen’s picnic at Brook side, Friday night, there was a good sized and select crowd, a pleasant evening and ‘a good time. A little daughter of Lafayette Bevans was badly bitten in the arm by_E.;B. Gootlsell’s dog Thursday. The wound was cauterized, and the little one is appar- ently doing well. Howard Gilbert’s fourth of July cele- bration was rendered all the. more glori- ous by the appearance of a nine pound firecracker of the female persuasion—a little “sisser” for theother heir, so to speak. 0. J. Wheeler, tne—shoc dealer, is to move his business and familyto Danbury- He thinks if he stays in Bethe]: the enor- mous business will break him down men- tally and physically.

" Everybody threatens to go. ' An interesting praise service was held in the church Sunday nigl1t.————- The Willing Workersrhold a willing picnic next Friday in McGregor’s grove.——Miss , Helen Bassett gave her lady friends a lawn party at her home Thursday. The uninvited hemale mugwumps called it a petticoat picnic. Brother Slack preached an unusually in- teresting sermon Sunday morning—one of'pec'uliar interest to local talent. He al- most succeeded in bringing into question the validity of Bethei’s claim to the title of “Banner Town.” The alarming preva- lence of intemperancc and the ukewarm- 11ess of the temperance sentiment were handled without gloves ; and the further and startling intimation that ,Bethei’s so- cial impurity is as widespread and as nauseous as her intemperahce, was, to say the least, an interesting departure from the kind of “spiritual ministration” that sets well on the stomachs of the pil- lars of our church. Brother Slack, 110w- ever, is a slave to the somewhat ofiginal customof writing his own sermons. ——-_.Q STATE AND GENERAL. A Canaan girl gavc'her seventy—fifth birthday party last week. There are 295 men in the state prison whose sad refrain is “turn the rascal out.” President Cleveland will visit Watch Hill this month. Later—President Cleve- land will not. A Woodbridge farmer fell from a mow- ing machine Monday, and was fearfully mangled by the knives. Alpheus Bradley, of Waterbury, was seen drunk on Monday, and found dead on Wednesday. Patriotism did it. In aboyish quarrel in Waterbury last week Ambrose Guilfoile was stabbed by Henry St. Clair, who was arrested and fined $5.00. The New'York 85 New England -rail- road is said to be on the verge of an era of prosperity. Its freighting business is becoming enormous. Waterbury is to have a new hose com- pany. Her base ball club doesn't seem to “fill the long felt want,” and she must have something to love. ‘ John Nagel, of Waterbury, aged 35, drowned himself in the canal on Monday, and his body was discovered Wednesday. He had the blues from ill-health. smithereens, and the peddler knocked into train at New Haven Wednesday. The Winsted tailors want to play a game of base ball with the printers of that town. Don't you do it, printers; remem- ber, 11 tailor’s nine is eighty-one men. The most remarkable base ball feat of the season was performed in Winsted a few days ago, when the fat men played the lean men. A lean man made a home run on three strikes. A few days aganaterburyman missed eighteen of his young chicks, and after diligent search they were found in a post hole, three feet deep, “packed‘like cigars in a box.” They had jumped in and were nearly starved. Lizzie McCaifery, the New Haven com- positor who was said to have eloped with Charles H. Northrop, a printer, says she didn’t see Northrop at all during her absence, 'but- was visiting her sister in a' neighboring ,town. A'piece of the bologna sausage by which the family of Mr. Eldridge, of Norwich, was thought to have been poisoned last week has been analyzed but no poison was found. It seems therefore that the bologna must be acquitted as innocent of the charge. A Waterbury milk wagon containing severa. cans of milk was upset into the reservoir a few days ago,"and now it is said “the whole population is drawing from the city water pipes just as good milk as they formerly bought for 8 cents a quart.” Consul-General Waller’s family sailed for London Thursday. Mr. Waller has agreed to look after the foreign business of the great commercial law firm of Alex- ander & Green, of New York, which will increase his income by several thousand dollars. Several of the' cottages at the Pine Grove camp ground, Canaan, are already occupied. People of leisure appreciate this beautiful spot, not only because of its loveliness and quiet, but because its hal— lowed atmosphere is conducive of spiritual and physical strength. An exchange has figured out that of the fifty-seven lawyers in Bridgeport not over ten or twelve are making $2 ,000 and over a year, and of the rest not over ten or twelve make $1, 000 or over, and of the remainder eight make over $500, the rest consider- ably under $500. Every year brings five «more new applicants for position in the ranks. Edwin McNeil, of Litchfield, has been elected superintendent of the Hartford d1 Connecticut Western Railroad to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of John F. Jones. Mr. McNeil has, been superintendent of the Shepaug Railroad for the past five years. He has assumed the duties of his new office. A man from “a neighboring village,” while in Bridgeport the other day, saw the doctorwho attended his wife at the time of her death shortly before, and im- mediately accused him of killing her. The doctor offered to kill him too, but a meddlesome policeman interfered and spoiled a good item for the papers, and a' good job for the undertaker. A valuable horse in' Orange ’ Sunday caught one foot in the split stump of a tree and in struggling to extricate it, caught the other in the same place, then fell down, breaking the bones ofbothlegs so the ends protruded through the skin, and beat its brains out againsta stone wall in its agonizing struggles. - After a stylish Waterbury lady had dis- mounted from a Naugatuck passenger train on Tuesday, the conductor discover- ed that she had left her purse in the seat. Hastily adjusting his necktie, pulling down his vest, and twisting a curl in his mustache and a smile in his iips', he grabbed the purse to restore it to the owner on the platform, but it flew open and revealed the contents—two pennies, a safety pin, chewed-up end of gum, and a receipt for making spit-curls. He sadly signalled the engineer to go ahead, with the bell-cord. I A peddler’s wagon was knocked into \n a pile of cobblestones, by a Consolidated . SPRING STYLES NOW 011T!
