that his boy will have hydrophobia simply
because the dog that hit him is still alive.

The Standard’s Norwalk correspondent
sends this, which very strikingly illustrates
the value of advertising :-—“A gentleman
residing on Union Park was enjoying the
contemplation of spending a very quiet
Fourth of July, when, upon taking up a
late issue of a local paper he learned that
he was going to have an elaborate display
of fireworks in the evening, and being too
public-spirited and good-natured to dis-
appoint his neighbors and friends, he sent
an order for a quantity, which, having
been so well and gratuituously advertised,
were enjoyed by a large number of people."
Brakemsn James Bolton was "thrown
from the top of a freight car on the Con-
solidatcd road by the sudden coming to.
gether of two parts of the train near the
South Norwalk depot on Friday noon, and
fell across one of the rails. Before he
could extricate himself one wheel had pass-
edover his right leg just above the knee.
He pulled it out before the next wheel
could strike it, and was picked up and
taken into the depot, where Dr. Pardee
attended him. It was thought that his leg
would have to be amputated, and he was
sent to the New Haven hospital for treat-~
ment, where he now is. His home is in
Saugatuck. Bolton is about 21 years old,
and had been on the read only six weeks.
Probably the most active phase in the
formative condition which we call Ameri-
can alt is the movement in progress
throughout our Western cities. In St.
Louis a new art museum supp ements the
work of a most excellent art school. Chi-
cage, with citizens still living who watdh-
ed the Indians depart, is building for her
Art Institute a new museum. The money
is ready for art museums in Milwaukee
and St. Paul. In Minneapolis there is an
art school of iambitious plans. The “first
white male 'child born in Kansas" is trus-
tee of a State Art Association. Overa
million dollars have been given to the art
school and museum of Cincinnati within
the last six years. An article by Mr. Rip-
lcy Hitchcock, in the August Century, de-
scribes the present aspects and the future
possibilities of “TheLWestern Art Move-
men .” It will be one of the illustrated '
features of the “Midsummer Holiday”
number.
A very distressing accident occurred in
Greenwich harbor on Monday morning,
while many of the yachts in that port were
preparing to start for the regatta at Larch-

sloop "Hornet" of the Knickerbocker club.
James Van Doren, a bright young law stu-
dent of 18 years, son of Jonathan E. Van
Doren, of New York, accidentally fell
overboard and was drowned. Apparently
he was unable to swim and sank out of
sight before a Mr. Mansfield who sprang
overboard to save him could reach him.
His sfilicted father offers a reward of $50
for the recovery of the body. The accl-
dent happened early in the morning about
an hour after sunrise. It is said young
Van Doren was sleeping on the deck, and
was asleep when he fell over. He seemed
to be in a dazed condition, and failed to
catch the line thrown to help him, though
he struggled in the water. Hiscompanions
attempted to throw a slip-noose over him,
.and finally Mansfield jumped in, but not.
till it was too late. No one on the Hornet
won any particular credit for cool and
prompt actionin the emergency—Advocate.

yet there was afeeling of sadness among

Cobble Hill society has had another spell

They not only don't agree, but they quar-
the respective families of the belliger-

eruption occurs in which all hands partici-
pate and enliven the circus with music
by the full band. A'few days ago the usu-
al interchange of civilities was indulged
in, which precipitated the usual family
rumpus, with somewhat more than the
usual results—the arrest of the principals.
Mrs. Burns was taken in on a charge of
disturbing the peace, and Mr. Fitzgerald
for assault, breach of the peace and
drunkenness. ‘ The trials came oi! last
evening before Justice Sturges, who found
that the evidence against Mrs. Burns was
insnfiiccnt to convict and she was acquit-
ted. Mr. Fitzgerald was found guilty on
the charges of assault and breach of the
peace, but not of drunkenness. The as-
sault was directed against a son of Mrs.
Burns. A fine of $2.00 with costs was
imposed by His Honor, aggregating about
$12.00, from which Fitzgerald appealed.

brick, 108x00 feet, two stories high, with
a basement under the entire .building,
which is occupied by crew of stalls across
the east end, the main part being utilized
as a store room for wagons and sleighs.
The cast and of the ground floor is also
filled with stalls, there being about 40 in
all, with several box stalls. The front or
main room is about 00 feet square, in
which vehicles stand ready for immediate
use. In one front corner a pleasant office
is being handsomely fitted up, with hard-
finish walls and hard wood wainscoting.
In the opposite corner is a work room
for cleaning harness, wagons, ctc., and
adjoining it is the harness room contain-
ing a wilderness of single and double har-
nesses, some plain, others glittering with
gorgeous trimmings. In thecentre of
tho-ceiling a large elevator platform is
suspended .for hoisting wagons to the
floor above. The upper floor, front com:
partmsnt, is used as a store room, while
the rear room contains 1 the hay and

A young lady boarding at the FairVicw

An itinerant vender of small merchan-

store formerly occupied by Pratt & Fitch,
on Main street, beginning last night,when
he attempted to have an auction. At the
conclusion of his sale he accused his clerk
of stealing 50 cents from him. The
clerk, whom he pays $4 a month and
board, protested against being called
a thief, but the boss called in two
policemen and insisted that “So hellup
me kraciousl mit mine own eyes I see
him but dot helluf a tailor in his bockct.”
The coin was produced, the clerk explain.
ed that ,he had put' it in his pocket while
tying up a package for a customer, in-
tending to turn it over immediately. The
chasm was bridged over to the satisfaction
of all, and the ofiicers left without pris-

At George Low’s store yesterday, Jack
Dugan and the clerk attempted to case a
barrel of kerosene down the outside cellar
stairs with a rope looped around each end.
They got=it nicely started when the rope
slipped off at Dugan’scnd; then occurred
an exhibition of athletics seldom equalled
outside a circus tent. ' Away went the
barrel, bumping and tumbling down the
stairs and into the cellar, and the clerk,
who didn't let go in time, like Jill in the
old poem, “went tumbling after,” in a
series of gyrations seldom witnessed. In
the meantime poor Dugan, who had been
bracing back on his rope, when the strain
was so suddenly released, went spinning
backwards as if he had been kicked by a
forty-horsepower mule. He kept falling
all the way for two rods and finally suc-
ceeded in coming to‘a full stop flat on his
back. Then he got up, sprung his knee
joints back into place and asked with evi-
dent concern if any other buildings in the
neighborhood were struck by the same
bolt.

walk resident has been arrested in New
Canaan for aching intoxicating beverages '
without a license. He "emphatically
denies" the charge.—-—-The aged Capt.
Merrit and wife of the borough, attracted
attention one evening this week, balanced
on a couple of 20-foot ladders, and picking
cherries. The captain seem not to have
forgotten the boyish trick of putting two
in his mouth every time he but one in the
pail. We are not positive, but at times
his wife seemed to be good naturedly
reproving him for so doing.—
The starfish in' Long Island sound threaten
the extermination of the oysters. The only
remedy, so far as is known, is to dredge
them» with the oysters and throw them on
the shore, and this injures'the beds. Very
little is known of the starfish. To-day an
oyster bed may be free of them, tomorrow
hundreds of bushels can be dredged up.
They are as prolific as the potato bug, but
are seldom seen in'the waters on the south
side of the island.

A Skinfiint.
A citizen from the “ rural deestricts”
came to town on the morning of the fourtll,
followed by a tow-headed, wistful-eyed
boy of about 10,nnd went to a store where
he bought a five-cent pack of fire-crackers
for the youngster, remarking as he grudg-
ingly pinclled the nickel till the goddess
of liberty turned black in the face:
“Boys now'days got to have everything
they see; ’twa’nt so in my day; my fath-
er wa’nt the kind 0‘ man that ’d buy fire-
crackers an’ everything else for me.”
And the old skinfiint departed, sighing
for the return of the good old days, and
leaving the store keeper lost in wonder-
ment at the remarkable progress of evolu-
tion in that family, from which undoubt-
edly sprung the old patriarch, who in a
Methodist “love feast," got up and said he
thanked the Lord that salvation was free.
Said he:
“I've been snilin’ aboard the good ship
Zion now for nigll onto forty year, an’ all
it’s cost me solar is thirty-odd cents.”
Whereupon the unpaid pastor ejacula-
ted with fervvr: ‘
“God bless yourstingy soul, brother 1”

Where Grant Died.
A correspondept of the Troy Time sends
the following concerning a spot in which
the whole nation has a lively and revrent
interest:
I'passed several hours at Mount Mc-
Gregor to-day. The .Drcxel cottage re-
mains almost literally as when General
Grant died. There are the bed upon
which the illustrious commanderbreathed
his last, his favorite chair, his garments,
including dressing gown. slippers and hats
and even his medicines, cups and the
sponges with which he was wont to mois—
ten his lips. You are shown pens with
which he wrote the latter portion of his
book and quantities of paper. out in small
sizes, by means of which he was wont to
cary on his share 'of' conversation. A
number of the beautiful flower pieces
wrought in immortelles, sent by the friends
of the eneral. including the huge pillow
from t e Philadcl hia Post are also on
view. All thesere on are looked upon by
the visitors in solemn silence. Some of
them might with propriety be removed——
notably the medicines. :and- vessels. Out-
side the cottage all looks calm and bean:

The Gaorcotown Strike.
The following manifesto has been issued
by the executive board the Georgetown
strikers: ' ' V
The reports circulated in local and state
papers about the Georgetown strike are so
ar from the truth thatrin justice to our-
selves and others, it is necessary to contra-
dict some of the statements. In the first
place the Georgetown strikers were not
nveigled into entering the K. of L. but
went into it of their own free will and
with their eyes wide open.
Furthermore, the strike in the wire mill
was not brought about or incited by any
committee, or any man or set of men from
Norwalk, as has been stated, but by the
employees themselves, after a vote which
was almost unanimous. ' The reason for
this strike is to he found in the low rate of
wagesrcceived by the great majorit of the
men striking for higher wages. Neither
Mr. Eilendorf, or any other man, can be
held responsible, and to the Georgetown
strikers alone belongs all the responsibility
for the action taken by them, and hoping
that you will give this a place in your col-
umns in order that innocent men may not
be wrongly accused, we remain.

of the best varnish outside and inside.
Its owner hopes to have it done this
month. He will ahave a paper in the

will give some account of ballooning, and
of his big balloon. Captain Moore has

BETHEL.
Hatting is on the increase and the men
rejoice—likewise the ladies.
S. A. W'aterman of Cohoes, N. Y.,spcnt
Sunday and yesterday at T. Archie Evans’.
. The following Bethel young ladies are
clljoying;the sea: breezes and inspiring
surroundings of Bell Island this week,
occupying the Foster cottage: Misses
Alice and Hattie Evans, Mary and Emma
McNaIly, Carrie Schoonmaker, Alice Fos-
ter, Mattie Meeker and Fannie Flint.
They expect to hold 'the fort there for a
week or so, and the Islanders will miss
them when they’re gone.
Work is being vigorously prosecuted on
the Danbury and Bethel horse railroad
and the street cars will probably be run-
ning in a few months. George Shepard is
one of the biggest toads in the stockhold-
ers’ pool, so there must be money in it.
I’m not aware, however, of any intention
on his part to run the streetcar line to
Wilson’s Point to connect with his popu-
lar steamer the Island Belle—but the pro-
ject is young yet. '
The wet weather of last Saturday soak-
ed the enthusiasm ail out of the Congre-
gational picnickers, and the excursion to
High Rock Grove was indefinitely post-
poned. A scheme is now on foot, how-
ever, which is quite liable to result in a
“union” of our church with the Methodists
in an excursion and picnic at Glen Island
-—a sort of “ BIueskin-Eel-pot” consolida-
tion, in local slang, It is thought perfect-
ly safe to turn the two fioeks loose togeth-
er to graze on the pleasant acres of Glen
Island ,as an “era of good feeling” has been
established between the people of our
church and their church since the minis-
trations began of the respective shepherds,
brothers Slack and Barton, and on Friday
of next week, the probable date of the
coalition, both folds will probably herd
together, stroll hand in hand to “Klein
Deutchland” to drink together long priced
but short measured Dutch beer, watch
the girls bathing in the surf, and in various
other ways have fun with one another as
“brethren such as we” should do. Every-
body will go, and those who don’t will be
sorry.
