A tremendous sensation has been going
around town the past week, the basis be-

A young married couple not far from

In the “nigger show” in the Opera
House Saturday the best “gag” that was
fired off was an impromptu one by the
stump Speech maker. He was tearing off
his lecture at a rapid rate, when a some-
what intoxicated individual in the front
seat arose as if to leave the hall. The
speaker stopped in the midst of his dis-
course and motioning to the tipsy gent,
said: “Hold on, boss. don’t go out; sit
down and I’ll have it brought in to you.”
Then the house came down.
Rev. Mr Anderson preached a practical

enter. Old bachelors presentadmit that he

she got drunk and was jugged again.

The “Associated Artists” minstrels went
out of town Saturday night considerable
poorer thanjwhenflheyicame. They gave
two “shows,” and their brass band made
several parades, and would have paraded
some more if the weather had been favor-
able. Despite the fact that every time it
looked'like clearing up they got out and
walked all over town in the middle of the
road, blowing on their horns, they failed
to awake an interest in our citizens, and
played Saturday night to an almost empty
house, which, however, was as good as
the show deserved.
Saturday morning in South Norvvalk, at
about 5 o’clock, fire was discovered in the
ell of the Cooperative hat factory, No. 2,
near the steam box. The work of extin-
guishing it was at once begun and, al-
though the building was considerably
charrcd, the flames were extinguished be-
fore they had made much headway toward
the destruction of the shop. Over a hun-
dred dozen hats in various of manufacture
were destroyed, which, with other losses,
will amount to upward of $600. This is
the second fire in this shop within a few
days, and, as usual, the theories are vari—
ous and'confiicting.

Companies F and D went to Stamford
Thursday night to join Co. C in a battal-

About 40 soldiers went from here and 50
from. South Norwalk. They enjoyed a
royal good time and arrived home at about
eleven. o’clock. Some little sport was had
among the boys at the expense of Sergeant
Stevens who dropped his gun while going
through the drill. As the Sergeant is the
last one from whom such a slip would be
expected and as he wears a gold badge by
virtue of being the best ,drilled man in the
company, the boys make the most of the
unusual occurrence in guying the straight
and stalwart young officer, who wisely
takes it all in good nature and laughs at
his own awkward slip.
The second concert of the Beethoven
Trio-club attracted a better audience than
the first, but the Opera House was by no

the Opera House would have fallen far

have assembled. The programme con-
tained seven numbers, doubled by encores.
Mr. Adolf Hartdegen, the favorite violon—
cellist, was unavoidably absent, and Mr.
F. Bergner, an accomplished ’cellist, was
in attendance as substitue. Mrs. Blanche
Stone-Barton was the vocalist of the festi-

entranced the audience. The concert
throughout was of that high classical or-
der which challenges criticism.
The Court House Matter.
. . There is nothing particularly new in the
g Court House controversy this week. Nor-
: walk has still an equal chance and there is
: no reason for an abatement of hope that
! the court house may come to Norwalk.
A town meeting was held in Redding
Wednesday, for the purpose of securing
the. opinion of the town regarding the lo-
cation of the countyseat. Representative
Sanford, who voted against Norwalk in
the last convention, was present and de-
fended hisaction. However, by a vote of
109 to 3, the town declared its preference
for Norwalk as a county seat.
The committee on New Counties and
County Seats met in the Capitol on Wed-
nesday afternoon. There was a number
of Norwalk citizens present to hear the
proceedings. Thelbalance of Bridgeport’s
testimony was ofi’ered and the summing
up began. The arguments were not con
cluded until Thursdaywhcu the committee
reserved their decision. Their report will
be made this week,probably on Thursday.
The county convention met on Thurs.
day and Norwalk again had a majority.
No advantage was taken however, and on
motion of Col. Hoyt of Greenwich, the
convention adjourned until Thursday the
25th inst.
The committee on New Counties and
County Seats meet again to-day. But no
geport will probably be made until Thurs-

Victims from the Idlewild.
The body of H. Long, who was lost
from the wrecked sreamer Idlewild, was

A Norwalk Invention.
Among the patents secured last week, was
one granted to Hawley Partrick, now rc-
siding in this city, for a surgical splint. It
is of course well known that the surgical
splints now in common use are made of
stiffened felt, and are applied to the limb
while in aplastic condition. The objection
to them however, is that they have to be
softened in boiling water, andto beapplied
while wet and very hot. Mr. Partrick has
succeeded in producing a felt splint which
may be softened by a moderate degree of
dry heat, may be applied while not hot
enough to burn, and will quickly set, and
ture every evening or mutual improve- gested asearch at a certain pump, and become perfectly rigid The surgeonssay
that this invention will prove ofinestim-
able value, as the old styles Were incon-
venient and unpleasant to use, and fre-
quently caused serious pain to the patient.

The New York Life.
—The forty-first annual report of the
New York Life Insurance company pre-
sents a dazzling array of figures, as will be
seen by reference to our advertising col-
umns. From statistics furnished us by the
company, it is evident that the wonderf ul
proportions to which the business has
grown,'is not a mushroom growth, but
shows a steady, permanent development,
traceable to shrewd business management
and square, honorable dealing. In the
first year of its existence, 1845, the amount
of Insurance written was $929,038;1for
the subsequent, ten years the total was
$20,760,181; the: amount written in 1885
was $68,521,452, and for the 41 years of
its existence the amount of its insurance
written, figures up the enormous total of
$699,401,401, of which there was in force
at the end of 1885, $259,674,500.

Mr. Charles Levy, special agent for the

When we were speaking of those big
beeves which the Mitchells had butchered
we supposed the flesh must be tough. But
a single sirloin steak weighing nearly 7
lbs., from one of the carcasses, soon con-
vinced us to the contrary. The meat was
as tender as could he wished and was of
unusually good quality. \‘Ve trust the
Mitchells will soon butcher some more
large cattle. We like steak.
Within the space of a week Mr. and
Mrs. James Hadden have been doubly af-
flicted. Last Tuesday their little daugh-

daughter, Lizzie, passed away. Their

the bereaved parents in their double loss.
It is a singular fact that each of the babes
died at exactly five minutes of six, is. in.

The Average of Fire Losses.
Fire insurance companies in computing
the amount of premium for which they may
profitably “write a risk,” base their figures
upon their past experience, keeping a re-
cord of classes and causes, together with
losses upon each class, etc. These statis-
tics are interesting and should have exten-
sive publication to the end that policy
holders may know the relative position
their own particular risk takes with the
many others. We venture the assertion
that a miller who has lived in one com-
munity all his life without ever having
seen a mill destroyed by fire, woulddis-
credit the statement that an average of
one flour mill. representing a cost of $12,-
000, isconsuined;by flre every working
day, yet such is the fact, or, at least, that
is the avera e given in the statistics for
1884. Dwe ing houses burn at the rate
of one an hour with an averggeloss of $1,—
896. - Barns and stables, per week.
Country stores, three per day, with a loss
of $110,000 per week. Ten hotels burn
weekly, with a loss of $4,400,000. Every
other day a lumber yard goesup in smoke,
each representing $20,000. Forty-four
cotton factories the loss in each case be-
isnz%$28,000; Forty- three woolen mills at
‘works at 27,000 each, were destroyed by
fire|last year. Forty-two boot and shoe
factories were consumed, the loss being
$17,500 each. Theatres were lapped up
by the flames at the rate offive per month.

One of the boarder’s of the United States

greatly disturbed by the slamming of a
blind during one of the windy nights of
last iveek, aroSe from her bed and started
on a trip of investigation. She finally lo-
cated the noise in a room that had not
been occupied for some days past, and
supposing it unoccupied still, walked in,
opened the window and securely fastened
the‘ unruly blind. Just as she turned to
leave, the cheerful voice of a drummer
called out from underthe coverlids, which

been smashed out of every window in his

l The Danbury News is republishing in-
! teresting reminiscences of the early days of
the war, with documents, etc. pertaining
to the organization of the Fairfield soldiery,
from the journal of William H. Warren,
private, Company C. From which we
abstract the following:
The Norwalk GAZETTE of August 9th,
1862, published the following:
“lilakc way for the Lockwood Guards.
LcGrand Lockwood has donated the
iiiiiiiificent sum of $1,000 for the enlist-
iuent of another company of volunteers
from Norwalk. Yesterday, Captain
Fowler’s company was filled to its marri-
mum number, and to-daylargc numbers
of .voluntecrs presented themselves for
enlistment into this company, only to be
disappointed. Lieutenant Enoch Wood
has been commissioned by the adjutant
general to recruit a second company. He
is a military man of energy and character
and proposes to take command, and lie
with his co—laborers in his recruiting
serVicc, Allen, Knapp, Kellogg, Lewis
and others, are vigorously pushing ahead
enlistments, and over fifty are already
enrolled. Ten dollars per man of the
Lockwood fund is paid down as fast as
sworn in.”
.Monday, August 11th, a company of
sixty men with a band of music came into
camp from Westport. This was afterward
called Company E.
The week before Ridgefield voted $200
to each volunteer who was sworn in prior
to August 20th. F. A. Rockwell and Nirum
Dikeman opened recruiting offices there,
and soon succeeded in getting up a com-
pany. This became Company G. There
were many Bridgeport and other shore
town men in the company. Captain
Dunliain, of Bridgeport, active in the
recruiting service, became its captain, and
Wilson French, of Stratford, its first lieu-
tenant. Dikeman was made second lieu-
tenant.
August 11th, Captain Lacey and sixt '-
three of his men, afterward Company ,
went into camp. -
Company K, of Bethel, went into camp
August 12th, with forty men anda band of
music. At this time there were over eight
hundred men in the regiment.
Here is a familyincident connected with
this company, as recorded in the Bridge-
port Standard, August 13th:
“Five brothers named Kelley enlisted
in the ‘Rough and Ready’ company, this
morning. They are all residents of this
town, sons of Ephriam Kelley, of New
York. It would seem as if the family had
done pretty well in the matter of enlist-
ments, but the five express some regret
that the two other brothers choose to re-
main at home when the country needs
their liel p.
On the 13th of August a half filled com-
pany marched into camp from New Canaan.
This was subsequently known as Company
H. Company B, of Stamford, and Com-
pany I, of Greenwich, occupied the camp
the same day.
The Lockwood guards from Norwalk
marched into camp August 13th, with the
Westport band. The company was re-
cruited in three days.
August 16Rev. Alexander R. Thompson
of Bridgeport, was appointed chaplain of
the regiment until a regular appointment
could be made. Services were held in the
camp Sunday morning and in Franklin
Hall in the evening. A collection was
taken up one day for a chapel tent, and
$75 was collected. At this service, which
was the first in the camp, the hymns sung
were, “Jesus shall reign wliere’er the sun,”
“Am I a soldier of the cross?" “My coun-
try, ’tis of thee.”
Recruiting was getting hot at this stage.
New Canaan voted $50 and Wilton offered
$100 for each volunteer.
18Clpmpany G went into camp August
t . '>
On Saturday, August 23d, a number of
ladies of Norwalk came to camp in a
special car. They brought with them a
number of baskets of provisions, and after
the two Norwalk companies were supplied
‘there were many baskets of fragments,
which were dealt to the other companies.
Late in the day Mrs. LcGrand Lockwood
and Messrs. Rev. Diosscy and Anderson
presented each member of Company F
(Lockwood’Guards) with a Igilt edge testa-
ment, a gift from Legrand‘ ockwood.
Adjutant Wilcoxson was to-day pre-
seated with a fine sword and belt by his
Masonic friends.
William A. Kellogg of Company F, was
given a handsome revolver by his former
companions of Phoenix Engine and hose
companies. And Captain Fowler's com—
pany, A, was given an elegant silk flag by
the ladies of South Norwalk. On it was
inscribed the words: “Fowler Guards.”
August 25th the following order was
issued from the adjutant general‘s of—
ficc:
The companies comprising the Seventeenth

On Tuesday, the 26th, the chapel tent
was consecrated with appropriate ser-
vice.
On the same day the hospital steward,
Jesse Nash, was presented with sword,
sash and belt.
Just before this Lieutenant Clancy, of
Company D, was presented with a
sword. Governor Buckingham made the
presentation speech. Among other things
he said:
“This sword. whether it comes back or
not, may it never be unslieathed without
cause, and may it never be sheathed in
dishonor.”
On Thursday, August 28th, the regiment
was sworn into the United States service.
On that occasion each member of Company
C was presented with a bible. The week
before, Capain Fowler, and. Lieutenants
Crowe and McQuahae were presented with

companies.
uite a number of presentations fol-
lowed. Col. Noble was given a horse and
equipments, and other valuable tokens of
regard. Lieut.-Col. Walters was presented
with a horse and equipments. Captain
Dunham got a sword and a revolver from
his company, and Captain Benson got the
same. John I. Ward the quarter-master
sergeant, was presented with a revolver by
employees of theAdamsExprcss company
in whose service he was.
On Saturday, August 30th, a full dele-
ation of Company C went to Danbury.
n the evening there was a gathering in
Concert Hall. The room was crowded
with people. The occasion was ,the pre-
sentation to Captain Moore, and to Lieu-,
tenants Daniels and Qiu'eu, of the company
of swords and belts.
These were gifts from. the members of
the company. The presentation speech
was made by Governor Averill, and was
most gracefully rendered. The officers
responded as completely as their feelings
would allow. Other speech makers were
called upon, when Captain Moore objected
saying that the men of his command were
home for what was probablythe last time,
and needed every moment to be with their
families and friends. The meeting then
broke up .
On the first of September the- following
special order, No. 694, was issued from the
state headquarters:
