Mr. George Clark and company pre-
sented “The Corsican Brothers" in the
Opera House last night. The play was
announced as a “mysterious” drama. A
mysterious drama is a queer thing. It is
a drama in which, in the resplendent bril-
liaucy of the leading star, the faint glim.
mer of the lesserlights is born to twinkle
unseen. It is a drama which stops in the
middle and leaves the audience sitting
patiently, waiting for the curtain to rise
again, while the orchestra packs up his
fiddle, and the actors wash up and go
home. A mysterious drama is, in short,
a mysterious drama.

While in a sail boat about half way from
Southport to Westport, Sunday, Phillip
S. Sanford and Walter Stroud, of West-
port, and Dr. Keys, of New York, saw an
Object which they at first took for a school
of porpoises. They approached nearer
and when within about an eighth of a
mile made it out, as they declare, to be a
sea serpent. They say the head was five
feet out of the water and that from 75 to .
100 feet Of the body was to be seen. The
monster scudded away at their approach.
The parties who tell the story are vouched
for as men of reliability. .
We understand that near the close Of
an» unprecedentedly‘ long town meeting
at Stamford recently, the chairman
caught the name Of Patrick'on his right,
and '0f Royce on his left, and unwittingly
gave the name of Patrick Royce before
the meeting as a nominee for hayward.
The :namc’ was received with roars of
laughter. Now Royce,.this will never do.
We have always known you were a true
friend of the laboring man, but we could
never have believed that yOu would be
guilty of seeking popularity with the
. Irish. by concerting with the chairman to
announce a change of your christianname
from William to'Patriek.
Editor Bolles’ original love story, “A
Wayward Charmer,” which has been run-
ning in the New Milford Gazelle for the
past four months, came to an end last
Week, greatly to our regret. It has been
full Of startle, sentiment, pkilosophy and
interest, and has demonstrated through
the “brute heredity” doctrine of evolution
that you can’t get blood out of a turnip
We have followed with intense anxiety
the exciting experiences of its familiar
characters, whom the gifted author has
disposed of with admirable ingenuity—-
some were killed, some went crazy, the
“wayward charmer” got married and
one was arrested. Audit is with a feeling
akin to sadness that we bid farewell to
Hezekiah Doolittle, wave a tearful adieu
to Sadie Powells, and an affectionate
“an revoir” to Peter Gimlet or what’s-his-
name there,who choked Henry Tramway,
and we earnestly hope Brother Bollcs will
give us another romance very soon.
—The best Cyclopedia for family use—

Mr. E. J (Hill, of Norwalk, who is un-
derstood to be “slated" by the bosses for
the Republican Senatorial nomination in
the Thirteenth District, said a few signifi—
cant words in the Congressional Conven-
tion on Wednesday. Fairly interpreted,
they mean that a trade has been
arranged, under which Bulkley is to
receive the Republican nomination for
Governor in 1888, and Blaine is to be given
the Connecticut delegation to the Repub-
lican National Convention. In no other
way can Mr. Hill’s reference to “the two
B’s” be interpreted, and his position as a
“slated" Senatorial candidate proves that
he possesses the confidence of the bosses
and iscognizant of their plans. All this
goes to confirm and establish the theory
that the Connecticut Republican campaign
is, down even to its minor nominations,
being run in the interest of Mr. Blaine’s
candicacy "for: renOmination two years
hence, and that all else. with the one cx-
ccption of the Hawley candidacy, is held
subordinate thereto—Farmer.

"We will nebber do so no more," said
the old colored ‘ preacher who had been
made a victim of misplaced confidence,
and we feel about as he did. For about
the hundredth, time, with the same result,
we promised the parties whose goods had
been stolen, that we wouldn’t publish a
word about it. . Our weakness is rewarded
by seeing it in another paper, just as we
knew we should :
From the Standard—Monday afternoon
in Norwalk Miss Jennie Dcvine and a
young girl were walking in a field north
of Union Cemetery near the Sticky Plain
road. when the farmer’s attention was at-
tracted by a red shawl or table cloth made
intoa bundle and deposited back of a
huge boulder. On opening the bundle she
was amazed to find in it various articles
of silver such as table and tea-spoons,
cake-basket, pie-knife and other articles.
From appearances the articles had lain
some time, but were still bright. ‘Some
of the articles had the names of former
owners cut on them. Miss Devine and
her companion who lives with F. E. Quin-
tard took the articles home, and on exami-
nation it was found‘that they Were worth
from $150 to $200. The silver will be
held subject to those whose houses have
been robbed, and who may desire to ex-
amine. '. ‘~

Suicide.
A most melancholy case of suicide oc-
curred in the little village of Rowayton on
Friday morning, 8th, which has caused
intense excitement in the community. It
appearsthat Chas. Thomes,,Jr. at quite an
early hour repaired toa somewhat seclud—
ed spot just east of'his residence, divested
himself of coat and hat, took a Colt's
heavy calibre revolver and placing the
muzzlezto his mouth discharged it, the
bullet passing upwards and through the
head evidently causing instant death.
His little son that morning accompanied
by another lad started on foot for Norwalk
and in passing along the road saw a coat
which he thought looked familiar. Upon
closer examination he discovered that it
belonged to his father, and at once ran
home with it to his mother. An imme-
diate scarchwas then made resulting in
the finding of the body of the suicide
over the fence with face besmearcd with
blood, and perfectly lifeless. That the
deed, had been contemplated for some
time is generally believed, and on the
fatal morning the suicide tried to purchase
some caps that would fit the revolver at a
neighboring store, but failing in this, took
a'commori cap and fashioned it with a
pocket knife,-SO that it would answer his
purpose; He was“ known to have been
suffering from mental troubles but It was
not dreamed that his case was so serious
as to cause him-to contemplate suicide,
else his movements would have been more
closely watched.
Well, What of it?
W. H. H. Murray, better known as
“Adirondack Murray," has married Miss
Francis M. Rivers, of Montreal. The
ceremony was performed by Justice Fos-
ter, and the only other person present—
besides Mr. Murray’s daughter, was Hon.
Henry Ballard. Mrs. Murray comes of a
Catholic family, and it was accordingly
the desire of both parties that the contract
should be a civil one. Mr. Murray’s
divdrced wife is practicing medicine in
New Haven, Conn. It has leaked out
that his daughter is engaged to a young
Englishman who resides in London, and
who is possessed of considerable wealth.

Parade Echoes.
The leader of Dodsworth’s great mili-
tary band remarked that he had attended
hundreds of parades, but had never seen
one which, for brilliancy, general deport-
mcnt of men, and admirable management,
eclipsed our N orwalk parade.
Those who predicted that a drunken
rabble would be called together by the
big parade were doomed to disappoint-
ment. The fire laddies deported them-
selves like gentlemen, and in all the vast
multitude of spectators the percentage Of
drunkenness was unusually small. ‘
The New Milford Gazette observed that
on the editors‘ table in the banquet hall
was a jar of pickled beets, and asks: “Can
this have a significance ?” Certainly, my
boy; it signified that the only pickled
beats about the table were on top of it—
none on the benches.
Detective F. B. Taylor and Deputy
Collector G. N. Morgan, of Bridgeport,
were here, and rode in the press coaches
as reporters for “Hostetter’s Almanac.”
They were the bearers Of most of the con-
tributions from Bridgeport friends to the
GAZETTE’s associate,with the compliments
of Druggists Stevens,f Hamilton, Messrs.
Stegcman & Whetstine, Ashley, Geo. F.
Connor and others,and comprising a whole
table full jof articles, from a gross of
homeopathic remedies to a morocco bible.
Messrs. Taylor and Morgan must have
spent some time in making their detection
and collection Of the list, and if it should
come to light that they took any of the
articles “by mistake," the rightful owners
can recover their property by coming over
to the auction next week.
Bethel turned out three handsome com-
panies and three handsome engineers,
Chief Hart and Assistants Dunlap and
Doran. The Eureka hook and ladder
boys, all young and vigorous firemen, un-
der the lead of Foreman M. A. Leppcrt,
were applauded all along the line. The
.sturdy Grassy Plain engine company,
Foreman L. Dickens, were right up to the
standard in marching and good looks; the
Alert hose, Foreman A. T. Noxon, also
“brought down the house" many times
during the march. The Bctlicl fire police,
headed by big Capt. Van Riper, inspired
the crowds at once with admiration and
terror. Bethol has reason to be proud of
the quota of brave men she sent to repro-
sent her in the biggest parade in the mem-
cry of the oldest inhabitant.
The visiting newspaper men, who were
entertained by the GAZETTE, made a good-
sized and good looking delegation. They
registered at this office just before taking
carriages in the parade, as follows :—
ErwinEdwards, of tthreenwich Graphic;
W. A. Royce, Stamford ,Comet; J. H.
‘Whiting, Seymour Times; "W. S. Todd,
Ridgefield Press; Frank Weed, Stamford
Advocate; Charles H. Jones, Wesportcr;
Will W. Kirk, New Canaan Messenger;
J. M. Emerson and E. H. Tomlison, Anso-
uia Sentinel; John H. Wade, F. S. Lyon,
Jr., and Fred Taylor of our local contem-
poraries; T. W. Wood, G. W. Warner,
and J. H. Warner, Bridgeport Evening
Post; George W. Flint, Danbury News;
J. F. Family, New Milford Gazette; W.
H. Adams, Danbury Democrat; G. N.
Morgan, N. Y. Sunday Mercury; F. B.
Taylor, Hostetter’s Almanac.
General Rufus H. King of Albany was
the guest of ex-Mayor Samuel Daskam on
parade day.
There was some confusion at the Fair
GrOund when the companies marched into
the banquet hall, by reason of which some
of the visiting firemen failed to fare as
well as it was intended they should. The
programme as arranged was to have the
companies march in in systematic order
by the different entrances to tables placed
for the respective organizations; but par-
tially through the confusion of the com-
mittees’ aides, and partially through the
stubbornness of some of the companies,
the discipline became demoralized,‘ anum-
ber of firemen crowded in by entrances
other than those assigned them, to] find
themselves where the tables were already
occupied, and consequently fared poorly.
Many who took the circumstances into
consideration accepted the situation good
naturedly, while others, we understand,
grumbled. The supply of provisions was
abundant and to spare, and that any visit-
ing firemen failed to be well fed, their
Norwalk comrades and committee regret.
But such unfed firemen should have the
good sense to take all things into consid-
eration, and they must hold themselves
largely to blame for their own failure to
participate in the feast.
WHAT OTnEEs SAY.
NOEWAK’s Bro FIEE PARADE—Tho fire
laddies for miles around and from many
different towns made the town bright with
their gorgeous uniforms. Many hundreds
of spectators viewed the parade, which
was complete in every p articular. Pol-
ished engines, and light and ga hook and
ladder trucks were in line, an presented
a splendid appearance. Members of the
New Haven Veteran Fireman’s association
were present and were the guests of
Pioneer hook and ladder company. The
affair was a success and complete in every
particular.—-Ncw Haven Courier.
The Wheeler & Wilson band, Seam-
stress en inc company, several newspaper
men, an a number of citrzensreprcscuted
this city at the Norwalk
firemen’s parade. A special
train of twenty-two cars left here about 9
a. in. There were 1,600 firemen in the
procession and twenty bands. The GA-
ZEm entertained the press royally. There
were about thirty of the “gang" present
and they had a great day ridingq around
in landaus and eating the fat of orwalk.
Messrs. Morgan and Taylor went over and
after finding the GAZETTE office, sought
out the den of John Rodcmeycr, one Of
the staff. The room was full of newspa-
per scrihblcrs, and as the Bridgeport dele-
gates began to unload their 0 cringe for
“Body,” yells Of laughter rolled out the
building. First came a box of pills, then
came a ten cent bustle. a fine tooth comb,
two cigars, a small bible, bottle Of dysen-
tery medicine, a “pickerel persuader,”
three bottles of “red paint,” box of black-
ing, paper of tobacco, sketch of new court
house, lead pencil, almanac, and other
gifts too numerous to mention. It was a
gj'cat day—for Rodcmeyer.—Bridgeport
orning News.
At the GAZETTE office there was a huge
pie made especially for Beach, of the An-
sonia Sentinel and a great pot of baked
beans for Royce of Stamford. Some
abandoned member of the press stole Ed-
itor Byington’s scissors. Fortunately the
GAZETTE was made up ready for the press.
-—John Wade. The abandoned wretch
has returned the scissors and the old GA-
ZETTE will be out on time, as hitherto.—Eos]
To say the parade was a success is put-
ting it mildly. Everything passed Ofi
without'a bitch, and all the visiting fire-
men, especially those from Danbury, were
shown every attention. and will long re-
member their Norwalk visit. The fire.
men in all colors fairly glittcred in the
bright sun. The GAZETTE entertained the
fraternity in fine ater and provided a
sumptuous dinner. There were from 20
51‘), 80 newspaper men present.—Danbury
em.
Norwalk was all ablaze—not with fire,
but with red shirts, gold lace and glitter-
ing apparatus. Thirty-three engine and
hose companies, fifteen brass bands and
eleven drum corps were in a line extend-
ing two miles. The procession was an
hour in passing a given point and present-
ed a most gor eons, yet ever varying ap-
pearance. he music was voluminous
and grand, the best bands in the state be-
ing present. The visiting members Of the
press were served with an excellent rc-
past in the GAZETTE office before the ro-
cession started. It was such a men as
the average country journalist doesn't sit
down to except when he meets his liberal
friends, and that isn’t often. We wish to
make our little bow to the Messrs. Bying-
ton of the GAZETTE and their wives, and
to “the only" John Rodemeyer, of the GA-
ZETTE staff, for this lunch and for many
other courtesics.—Ncw Milford Gazette.
Tuesday was a, sin day in Norwalk,
and no mistake. he grandest and most
successful firemen’s parade ever held in
this vicinity took place there and it seem-
ed as if every person in the state was pres-
ent to witness it, but we don’t sup as
more than half of them were there. his
parade has been under headway for some
time, and the amount of labor crformed
to make it such a successful air as it
proved to be cannot be understood only
by those who did the work or had the ar-
raugemeuts in charge. The proprietors
of the GAZETTE received the representa-
tives of the press at their Office and ave
them a fine collation before the para c.—

In a court house fight Norwalk is not
strong enough to compete with Bridge-
port, especially when the lattcr town has
a fund of $150,000 to draw fmm, and can
use $14,000 of it. for legal “influence." But
when it comes to a fireme’n’s arade Nor-
walk takes a'front seat, and ucsda the
firemen and good people of the O] and
historic town showed that they were alive
to the occasion. It was the biggest day
Norwalk ever had and Chief Prowitt and
his able aides may well feel proud of the
success scored. The best of order was
maintained during the day, and an intox-
icated person was an infrequent sight.
The news apcr men were entertained both
before an after the parade at the GAZETTE
Oflice, where Rodemeycr and Byington
made it pleasant for all representatives of
the lpress who called. It was a great day
for odemcyer. His many friends in this
city remembered him, and when Taylor
and Morgan, of “pickcrel persuadcr” fame
arrived atgthc ofilcc of thc‘ GAZETTE they
at once proceeded to unload, and soon a
large table was covered with an array of
useful articles, Of which “Rody” may well
feel proud. Many of the articles were du-
rable and will be treasured by the recipi-
ent as pleasant mementocs of the great
day. He was everywhere looking out for
the welfare of his fellow newspaper re-
porters. After the parade thc members
of the press met in the GAZETTE Office and
Royce of the Stamford Comet called the
meeting to order and proposed that a vote
of thanks be extended to the proprietors
of the GAZETTE for their successful efforts
to make the day pleasant for the visiting
reporters. “All in favor of the motion
say aye,” called Out Royce. There was a
general response. “All opposed say no,
and any man who says ‘no’ goes Oirt of the
window,” was the way the negative was
called for. There was not a solitary
“no.”——Bridgeport Evening Post.
There were more companies in line than
at the Derby parade, and more spectators
to witness it. The management of the
parade in all of its details seemed to be as
near perfect as was possible. The repre-
sentatives Of the press were invited to the
pleasant rooms of the Gazette ofiicc where
they were heartily welcomed by the mem-
bers of the Gazette staff. An elaborate
lunch was served to the fraternity while
waitin for the line to form. Friends of
Editor Odemeyer presented him with a
valuable and uni ue collection of brie-a-
brac.—Scymour imea.
Altogether it was a big day for Nor-
walk, and one in which there was the
finest music, the best marching, the larg-
est demonstration, and best conduct ever
aha: fire parade within its borders. It
Will be South Norwalk’s turn next year,
and then we expect that the finest fire-
men’s parade ever made any where will
take place—Sentinel.

Benator Fryc’s Meeting.
Although but very limited notice could
be given of Senator Fryc's meeting at the
Opera House and that on the worst night
of the week for a full audience, a goodly
number were present and heard from the
Maine Senator's lips one of the most co-
gent and effective arguments heard here
in many a year. Rev. Mr. Anderson pre-
sented in his inimitable and usually enter-
taining way, which called from the senator
the compliment that he was “the liveliest
parson he had ever seen and he only
wished he could have him for his pastor
in Maine." At the close Mr. Lounsbury
was enthusiastically called for. He had
come down from Ridgefield to hear Mr.
Frye, and answering to the call, said he
would briefly respond to a call that had
been made on him to state his position as to
the Labor question, and his religious views.
He said on the question of Labor he was
for a protective tar-ly, which insured pros-
perity to the manufacturers and made
good wages to the workingman a certain-
ty. He wanted to see the American
workingman elevated above the European
pauper laborer where poverty and starva-
tion always threatened them. Here
under our Republican system of Protec-
tion the laborer could earn himself a
home, home comforts and “lay by a little
for a rainy day,” if he were industrious,
temperate and prudent. This is one of
the grand possibilities of American Labor
and impossible to the working class across
the sea, and the Tanfwas the cause of
it. As to religion he said he believed
every human soul should worship his God
according to the dictates of his own con-
science, be he Episcopalian, Methodist,
Presbyterian, Baptist or Catholic, or what
ever be his denominational faith, all he
would demand was that he be a good
one.
Senator Frye eulogizcd Senator Hawley
and err-Congressman Miles as the sure
friends of protection to American indus-
tries, and spoke of our gubernatorial
standard bearer as a man oqwhose clean.
pure and generous character, there was
not spot or blemish or faintest shadow of
a suspicion of any wrong done; a man
who had started out in life at the plough
handle and won his way up to the front,
and his high place in the commercial and
business world, and the esteem Of his fel-
low men, by reason Of his own Yankee
pluck and courage.

[From the New York Tribune]
Wall street had, its interest in New York
and New England railroad stock sustained
by its continued activity and further ad-
vance at the stock exchange yesterday.
Definite information was no more avail-
able than on Monday, but the belief Of
the street that an important project was
on foot was strengthened by the character
of the speculation. Numerous guesses as
to the nature of the enterprise or project
were indulged in by brokers and news-
paper agencies, but none of them went
beyond the point of surmise and so was
met. with ready ofilcial denials Some
well iufOrmed persons think that the
scheme is of wider scope and embraces
more interests than is the case with any of
the theories already put forth and denied;
and that, come what may, Boston business
men may congratulate themselves upon
the probability of having a greatly im—
proved service betWeen this city and New
York before long. What Boston mercan-
tile interests demand is a shortening of
the hours of travel between this city and
New York, and the improving of the ser-
vice in many respects. This has got to
come and the New York and New Eng-
land is the road to do it. At the re ular
mouthjy meeting of the directors 0 the
New ork and New England Railroad
com any the second semiannual dividend
Of 3 per cent on the preferred stock was
declared payable on November 1, to stock-
holders of record October 16. No matters
concerning the common stock were dis.
cussed, and the subject received no other
mention than a reference to the fact that
Connecticut taxes will soon be levied and
the present high price of the stock causes
alittlc sadness to the directors in conse.
quence.
Concerning the many rumors of whole-
sale consolidation Of many New England
railroads, E. Hayes Trowbridgo, of New
Haven, who is one of the largest stock-
holders, a director and chairman of the
finance committee of the New York and
New Haven road, said : “So far as the
consolidation is concerned, there is not a
word Of truth in the statements that have
been printed in the New York and Boston
papers. I am in a position to know about
these matters if any one is, and I wish to
say most emphatically that there is not
the slightest ground for the reports that
are in circulation. The rumors have been
started by Wall street speculators for the
purpose of humbugging people and get-
ting their money."
]From the New York Sun]
Perhaps one of the most interesting fea-
tures of the New York and New England
business is the way in which everybody
who ought to know denies that any of the
rumored negotiations to the advantage Of
the company are oing on. It recalls the
history of the estcrn Union “melon"
and of the last debenture bond issue of
the New York Central. Somebody now,
as in those two cases is lying tremendous-
ly, but who it is time only will show. It
is remarkable in the light of these denials
that authorized representatives of the Bos-
ton and Albany, the New York and New
Haven, the New England, the Boston and
Providence and New York, Providence
and Boston companies should agree to
meet in this city on Friday next to form-
ally act upon terms for the merging of the
live concerns in one collossal corporation.
This meeting has been’ preceded by a
great deal of negotiating, as has been
stated in this column several times during
the past week. The most pertinent ques-
tion that some Of the denials suggest to
one who is cognizant of the negotiations
and yet is not on the inside is, has this
consolidation been projected without the
stock of the New York and New England
company in hand. The stock market
evidently indicates a struggle for stock,
and the indications are many and seem-
ingly conclusive that the Elevated railroad
capitalists, who were formerly interested
in New En land, are lending a very active
hand in this struggle. Directly and in-
directly the street has had an abundance
of advrce from that quarter all the week
to sell the stock.
[From the Bridgeport Nelda]
President Watrous says the reported
reduction in passenger rates on the Con-
solidated road is an idle rumor and with-
out bottom. Tho Hartford Owrant says
editorially: “There is no other way so
sure for the road to head ofi opposition as
for it to lower rates and increase accom-
modations and so occupy the field that
there is no room for another, and no temp-
tation in view of the prevailing tariff.”
[From the New Britain Record]
The latest bit of interestin railroad
gossip is to the effect that Jay onld and
ussell Sage have secured control of a
maéjority of the stock of the New York
an New England Railroad company, and
that lively times are anticipated in conse-
quence. It is probable, if this be true,
that the New York and New Haven Rail-
road compan cannot now obtain control
of the New ngland even if it wants it.
[From the Boston Herald.]
NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-Thc feature of
dealings of the Stock Exchange yesterday
was a sudden spurt upward in the price
of the stock of the New York and New
En land railroad. It opened at about 50
an shot up to 56. It fell off 2 per cent.
at the close. There were lots of mysteri-
ous whispers to account for the rise. The
most generally accepted theory was that
shape had been given to some new scheme
Of the New York City and Northern with
the Manhattan Elevated. There were
lcnty of other people, though, who cred-
Ited the entire movement to a speculative
deal. The day’s dealings aggregated 84,-
000 shares, the biggest day’s transactions
in this stock ever known on the Stock
Exchange. If Boston isn’t going to have
quicker transit to New York pretty soon,
some folks are mighty mistaken.
[From the Berkshire, Mass, Courier-.1
Already the New York and New Eng-
land road is extending a branch to con-
nect with the Poughkeepsie bridge, which
will be completed by the 1st of January,
1888. A corps of engineers is laying out
the route. It would seem that the Boston
and Albany must extend a branch to this
bridge, or suffer a‘ loss of a good deal of
freight business. Shall the connecting
link be the Connecticut Western or the
Pou hkeepsie, Hartford and Boston road?
The ew York Times sa 9 that there will
be an extension Of the oston, Hartford
and Pou hkee sic road,from a point near
Ancram ead 'ncs, through Great Bar-
rin ton to Westfield, there connecting
wit the Boston and Albany, then to Chi-
copec, to meet the Massachusetts Central,
which is now in the hands of a rc-organ-
ized company, having both the power and
the intention to complete the road. “This
will give a more favorable line from the
Hudson river to Boston than any now in
existence, with no no heavier grade and
with less curvature than the other roads
which cross the range of hills in Western
New England."
[From the New York Sun.]
NEW HAVEN, Oct. 6.—Prcsident Watrous
of the New York and New Haven Railroad
company, on being questioned to-night
with respect to the proposed plan for the
consolidation of the! New York and New
England, Boston and Albany, and New
York and New Haven roads, and the elec-
tion of himself as president of the consoli-
dated companies, said:
“It is true that men representing the
Boston and Albany, and New York and
New England roads are to meet one or
two directors of the Nchork, New Ha-
ven and Hartford company, including
myself, to discuss some proposal they
have informed us the intend to make.
What that proposal w‘ lbc I am as ignor-
ant Of as you are. One thing is certain, I
shall oppose with all m energ the ac-
ceptance of any propo that wi 1 advance
New I ork and New England stoek to a
point where it will pay 4 per cent. and sell
above par. There is no questson but
that the stockholders of the road I repre-
sent would be losers if such an arrange-
ment was effected. Au advance made on
New York and New England stock would
come out of the pockets of the stock-
holders of the New York and New Haven
road. Of course if the Boston and Albany
and the New York and New England
make a pro osal that will be of mutual
advantage} should be in favor of con-
solidation, providing legislative approval
could he obtained. My private opinion is
that the stories in re ard to the consolida-
tion have been circu ated by Wall street
and other speculators for the purpose of
advancin the price of New York and
New Eng and stock and affording them
an opportunity to unload. In my opinion,
although I have no positive knowledge
and simply a common-sense View, the de-
sign of the speculators has been effected,
and in a few days the whole matter wrll
explode."
[From the Palladium] _
The latest railroad consolidatiou rumo
having fallen through, it is now In order
to wonder what story will be started next.
Shall we hear of some profound scheme
lookin to the immediate construction of
an “in and” or “parallel” line or a “short
route,” or what?

WILTON.
The wedding announced in our last
took place at the residence of Edward
Olmstead on Thursday the contracting
parties being Mr. Josiah Gilbert and Miss
E. Olmstcad. The ceremony was im-
pressively performed by the Rev. D. M.
Seward D. D., in the presence of about
eighty friends and guests. The happy
couple after receiving the congratulations
of their friends led the way to the dining
room where ample refreshments were ser-
vcd. About an hour later Mr. and Mrs.
Gilbert were driven to South Norwalk
where they took the train for their wed-
ding trip. The wedding presents were
numerous and elegant. After their return
Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert will be domiciled on
Belden Hill.
In St. Matthews’ Episcopal church on
Thursdaya large and select assemblage
congregated to witness the marriage of
Miss Ella D. Brady, daughter of the late
Dr. GeorgeBrady, of this place, to Mr.
T. W. Treadwell of Weston, the officiat-
ing clergyman being the Rev. J. E. Coley.
The brlde was given away by her
uncle, Mr. George T. Brady, Of Norwalk.
Miss Minnie E. Brady, sister of the bride,
acquitted herself gracefully as maid of
honor, and Mr. Moffatt McQueen of New
York acted as best man. Tire ushers
were Messrs, Arthur Hayward, of New
York; Geo. E. Ogden, of Wilton, and Dr.
G. W. Bennett and John Rodemcycr, Jr.,
of Norwalk. The church interior was
handsomely decorated with flowers and
greens, and at the close Of the brief but
impressive ceremouynvhiio the big church
organ was pealing forth the inspiring
strains of a wedding march, under the
skillful manipulations of Organist E. M.
Jackson, the bridal train marched slowly
out of the church, and were driven to the
residence of the bride's mother where the
happy groom and his fair bride held an
informal reception and received the cou-
gratnlations of friends, and a sumptuous
repast was enjoyed. The bride was be-
comingly arrayed in white albatross and
satin, with pearl bead trimmings and
flowers, and carried in her hand abou—
quct of car-nations; her traveling dress
was of seal-brown corduroy and cloth.
At about nine o’clock the bridal party
entered coaches amid a shower of rice,
and were driven to South Norwalk, where
they took the 10.07 express train for New
York. The bridal tour will extend to Ni-
agara, Buffalo and points as far west as
Ohio, and will be of about four weeks’ du-
ration. An extensive and valuable col-
lection of presents was displayed, a par-
tial list of which we append :

four hundred copies more than during the
past year. Last week we printed one
thousand extra copies to satisfy the Fire

those active little fellows, the newsboys

Rheumatism
It is an established fact that Hood’s Sar-
saparllla has proveu an invaluable remedy
in many severe cases of rheumatism, effect-
ing remarkable cures by its powerful action
in correcting the acidity of the blood, which
is the cause Of the disease, and purifying
and enriching the vital fluid.
It is certainly fair to assume that what
Hood’s Sarsaparilla has done for others it
will do for you. Therefore, it you suffer
the pains and aches of rheumatism, give
this potent, remedy it fair trial.
In Positive em.
\"I was troubled very much with rheuma-
tism in my hips, ankles, and wrists. I
could hardly walk, and was confined to my
bed a good deal of the time. Being rec-
ommended to try Hood’s Sarsaparllla, I
took four bottles and am perfectly well.
I cheerfully recommend Hood's Sarsaparllla
as one of the best blood purifiers in the
worldsu W. F.‘Woon, Bloomington, In.
