True politeness, pure and undefilcd, was

Norwalk will turn out a large force of
bachelors and bucheloresses to fraternize
with their Dunbury friends.
“The people who live in Bridgeport
have little idea of the wide extent to which

came, I found they were manufactured
right here in Bridgeport under my nose
and I never dreamed of such a thing.”—

Frank Conkliu, left town Monday morning
intending to land in the vicinity of Norwalk ,

said all the game) there is in that country.
Hope they won’t get frightened at the

When a gang of tough looking tramps,
bronzed, battered, rusty and dusty, came
into this ofiice, Friday forenoon, nuac,
companied by any policemen or keepers,
our religious scribe reached for his trusty
rifle with one hand, his bowie knife with
the other, and a club with the other, and
with a silent but fervent suppllcation for
giant strength and steady aim, awaited
the attack until the broad smiles that il-
lumined the unshaven countenances of
the visitors diSpelled the misapprehension
and the familiar features of the above
group of Bethelites were recognized.
The boys reported lots of fun during their
encampment at the “Gulf Pasture.” below

would have made Lazarus at the .ich
man’s gate think himself Solomon in all
his glory. Being stylish, rather “dudish”
young men when they are at home, no
one of them would have appeared before
his lady friends alone, clad in: that camp
array for all the wealth of Croesus—but in
union there is nerve.

Andrew C. Nash of Westport, 73 years
old, an uncle of the Hon. D. N. Morgan of
Bridgeport, told afitandard reporter that
a day or two ago he started on one of his
periodical walking jaunts through his own
town, Poplar Plains, Wilton, Norwalk,
South Norwalk and Saugatuck. During
the day he called on 30 persons, including
Mrs. Clarissa D. Raymond of Wilton, whose
ages ranged from 80m 104 years, averaged
87 and aggregated 2,610. The total dis-
tance walked was over 12 miles.
Miss Clara Louise Hall, daughter of the
well known merchant W. B. Hall, of
Bridgeport, ;was married in that city
Thursday evening to Mr. Fredrick H.Mills
of Detroit Mich., at the residence of the
bride‘s parents. The wedding was
solemnizcd on a scale of_unusual magnifi-
cenee in the presence of a large assemblage
of invited guests, and was one of the most
brilliant society events of the season. The
bride and groom are now enjoying an ex-
tended wedding tour after which they will
take up their residence in Detroit.
The one-man brass band was in town
Saturday, weighted down with a diaboli-
cal aggregation of “musical” machinery,
from a whistle to a bass drum. Every
motion he made, from the kicking of his
heels to the wiggling of his cars, set some
part of the discordant “combination” to
working. Bis harmony was novel but it
wasn’t entrancing, and although he was a
nuisance, he suffered a sufficient punish-
ment in being obliged to hear his own
music.
Al. Newman of Norwalk, was a guest
at one of the hotels in Litchfield Thursday
night when the big fire broke out. Al—
though his hotcl was some distance from
the fire, and in no possible danger of be-
ing burned, Al says: “I was one of the
rescued party; you oughtlito have seen
me sliding down the cave-trough conduc-
tor with my grip-sack in each band and
my umbrella in the other, at three o’clock
in the morning with my clothes on hind
side before.” He says the fire department
of Litchfield consisted of a pail of water
and a broom.
Mr. Richard D. Rickard of Stamford
was married in Christ church, Canaan, last
Tuesday, to Miss Bessie J. Sims of the
latter town. The wedding was a brilliant
event, attended by a large number of
friends who congatulated the happy
pair, a reception being held at the close of
the ceremony. The bridal party took the
afternoon express train for Stamford where
a house had been prepared and furnished
by the groom and where the best wishes
of many Canaan friends follow them.

At last our merchants have become alive
to the fact that licensed peddlers carry off
a very large portion of the profits which
they themselves ought to make. It is a
mistaken policy on the part of our city
authorities to permit this practice. The
licensing of peddlers should be either en-
tirely forbidden by statute, or the license
fee so materially increased as to make this
city unprofitable for them. No one is
benefitted by buying the trash they sell,
but the merchants who pay taxes and in-
surance are greatly injured. At present
there is a certain pcddler on Railroad
Square, who has permission to sell his
wares for six weeks for the paltry sum of
$2.25. . We hope the proposed statute for-
bidding peddler licenses will pass atoncc.

, Hezekiah Raymond, a venerable and

large reception in commemoration of the
fiftieth anniversary of their marriage.
The funeral occurred Sunday morning in
the same church, a very large concourse
of friends and mourners being present.
The New Milford Gazette of last week
contained an extensive and well written
account of the Kent soldiers’ monument

that Bro. Belles could so accurately note

from a bewitching bunch of yellow rib-
bons, bright posies and rougish eyes on a
neighboring balcony. If he hadn’t been
smart he wouldn’t have [caught the exer-
cises, and if he hadn’t been pretty he
wouldn’t have caught the smiles.

Dr. Baldwin was in his ofiicefin Norwalk,
and his brother was in this ofiice in New
Canaan while:-,the game was in progress.
The game was played by telephone, each-f
player having a chess board before him

The much talked of wedding of Mr.
Thomas S. Morison and Miss Florence
Bogart was solemnized on Wednesday
; evening in St. Paul’s church, Rev. Howard
S. Clapp officiating, assisted by Rev. C. M.
Selleck. The inclemency of the weather
proved no hindrance to a large attendance
and fashionable costumes. The guests
gun to arrive shortly after 6 o’clock, al-
though the ceremony was not begun until
8. As the hour approached, the crowd
increased and at one time there was such
a jam near the door that there was actual
danger of ladies fainting, and Chief Lock-
wood was called in to make breathing
room.
Such elaborate decorations and floral
display were never before seen in the
church, and lent an additional charm to
the event which was worth braving the
storm to see. At the rear of the altar was
a solid bank of flowers making a charm-
ing background. Choice plants in great
variety and tasty arrangement were with-
in the chancel, aud over the front of the
altar was a large arch of evergreen, smi-
lax and roses, from which were suspended
seven marriage bells of daises and roses.
At the organ Miss Jennie K. Nash pre-
sided with her usual graoe and skill, and
executed appropriate selections during
the hour that preceded the happy cere-
mony. The usheis were Messrs. Fred W,
Stearus, Frank F. Beatty, M. F. Hutchin-
son, William S. Chichester, John W.
Beatty, and Robert B. Beatty.
When all was ready the bride entered
by the main entrance leaning on the arm
of her uncle, Mr. Samuel Beatty. She was
preceded by the ushers; six little brides-
maids, drcsscd in white, with baskets of
flowers; the maid of honor, Miss Mabel,
Vand‘erlioof, in a handsome white dress.
The bride’s dress was of white silk, with
a two yard’s train, ornamented with pearl
and crystal and duchessc lace, a tulle veil
fastened with a diamond pin, and diamond
She carried a white prayer
book in her left hand. The bridegroom
with his best man, Mr. F. W. Emery. of
Brooklyn, came from the vestry room
and met the bride at the altar, where they
knelt while the bridesmaids formed a
group behind them. The ceremony was
impressive, and was gone through smooth-
ly and without a hitch. At'its conclusion
the groom kissed the bride, who in ‘turn
kissed her maid of honor. The party then
marched down the aisle to the inspiring
strains of Buck’s wedding march. Tlie
newly married pair drove at once to the
Morison mansion, donned their traveling
suits, and took the 10:07 express train, in
a special drawing room car, for New
York. The bridal tour will last in the
neighborhood of two weeks, when they
will return and give a reception.
The display of presents was pronounced
one of the finest collections ever seen in
this town, embracing valuable pictures,
plate, jewelry, china, etc. The groom’s
presents to his bride were a magnificent
pair of soltaire diamonds and a handsome
horse and photon.
’ There were a number .of prominent
society people from New York and Brook-
lyn in attendance at the wedding, as well
as the society leaders of Norwalk. The
costumes were elegant, and of a diversity
that would require the imagination and
facile pen of a veritable Jenkins reporter
of the metropolitan press to describe.

Firo in Stamford.
On Tuesday evening the large woolen
mill in Stamford caught fire in some un-
known manner in the spindle room at
about 9 o’clock and before the firemen
could stay the flames they had progressed
so far that all efi'orts to save the building
were fruitless and the entire structure, to-
gether with its machinery and contents was
destroyed. The lossis placed at $150,000.
with insurance of $122,500. It was with
the utmost difiiculty and strenuous labor
that adjoining houses were saved from
destruction, in one of which lay the dead
body of the late J. B. Ferris awaiting
burial. The disastrous fire throw 225 per-
sons out of employment and ends a month-
ly disbursement of wages amounting to
$5,000. The fire was distinctly seen in
Norwalk and many of our citizens thought
it was in the suburbs of our own town.
A number of Norwalk firemen took a late
express train to Stamford, thinking to be of
service in the work of fighting the fire, but
found nothing of importance to require
their servic cs.

Twenty prisoners were taken from the jail
to help fight the fire, and they did; good
