Danbury 1s becoming famous for her
prolific monstrositles, freaks and peculiar-
ities of every nature. If she is not enti-
tled to this fame she is certainly entitled to
credit for having the monumental fish sto

now with a geranium bush that “blooms
in different colors on each branch and
even alternates the colors on the braches,"
and also a “pear tree on which this year's
growth of wood is in full bloom, and the
old growth full of pears nearly as large as
hens' eggs, making a. very interesting
sight."
Now that the uniform question has been
decided there isa little military excitement
or interest among national guardsmen at
present and won’t be until fall, when the
brigade goes into camp. Interest attaches
itself to the proposed rifle match between
ofilcers of the brigade stafl and the ofilccrs
of the four regiments. Each side speaks
very confidently of their prowo'ss with the
rifle. The brigade staff feel exuberant
over the appointment to the brigade staff
of Sergeant M. W. Burwell, of Bridgeport,
who is one of. the best sharpshooters in
the brigade.—New Londdn Day.

—Stamford Advocate.
Yes, that unpopular “old habit” of pre-
ferring fair play was rather strong on the
occasion in question, even among a ma-
jority of the Stamford club’s sympathizcrs,
who denounced the “rank” decisions of
the Stamford umpire. Disinterested spec-
tators, who noted the peculiar tactics of
the umpire, agree that the actual score by
honest runs, should have been 7 to 5 for
the Stamford club, instead of 18. to 5, the
extra six runs being . won for the Stam-
fords by the umpire. It is in poor taste
for a visiting club to bring with them an
umpire who is open and defiant in his ac-
tive sympathy and determination to win
the game for them by questionable means.
Last Saturday afternoon Ridgefield was
visited by President Lockwood, Super-in-
tendent Crawford and Mr. Rockwell, of
the Danbury and Norwalk railroad, who
examined the depot and tracks with a
view of making some “needed improve-
ments, and drove through the village to
High Ridge. They will soon give another
proof of their intent to do all they can to
build up the town, and encourage
strangers to come here by putting on new
trains and improved mail facilities. Com-
mencing with next Monday an early train-
will reach here from the south-at about
7:80, bringing New York papers and the
morning mail. The 0:45 train will make
close connection with the .train for Dan.
bury, which we never before had. A train
will leave here about 9.80, reaching New
York about 12 ; and if desired 11 noon train
will run and retu'rn in the afternoon. We
are also usured that freight charges are
to be reduced to the same figures as new
rule in Danbury. This will make coal

. The «is at Roton. :
Roton was the objective point for pleas—
urc seekers from all the stations on the D.
& N. R. R. and elsewhere in this region
yesterday. Trains ran between Norwalk
steamer Island Belle, in connection with
which the Joshua Leviness was chartered
by Capt. Mills, made quick trips and obvi-
ated the difficulty of last year by trans-
porting passengers to Roton Point without
the tedious delays of heretfore. The
crowds brought by the" trains were hand-
led by the boat people expeditiously and
without confusion, and Capt. Mills re.
ceivedmuch deserved credit for his seal
in looking after the welfare of his patrons.
The Messrs. Shepard, proprietors of the
boats were also on hand to assist in mak-
ing everything comfortable. The princi--
pal feature at the Point was the Danbury
Bachelor Club’s picnic, which brought
about 1500 people from Danbury alone.
The boats carried upwards of 8,000 pas.
scngers and the crowd on the grounds was
estimated at 4,000. Everything went off
smoothly, and greatly to ‘thc credit of
Messrs. Grumman, managers of the Point.
The last excursion from Wilson’s Point
for Danbury- left at nbout 9.30 p. m. with
two engines and eleven densely" loaded
cars.
Almost a Fire.
Yesterday forenocn a party of boys who
were shooting fire-crackers on the knoll
just north of the colored Mission church
on Knight street, either accidentally or
intentionally threw a lighted pack on the
roof of the church iwhere they exploded
and set fire to the shingles near the eaves.
Au alarm of fire was immediately given,
and Ladder”, and Hope Hose companies
were on the spot. Their services were
unnecessary, however, as bystanders had
climbed up on the roof and extinguished
the flames with a couple of pails of water
which also baptized a zealous worker who
had just crlmbed a ladder up to the eaves
at the spot where the fire was. The dam-
age was trivial.
