It would have been safe in saying that five young ladies on Main street are to be married within a month. Mrs Mathews and family, are enjoying _Norwalk air, in their mansion on West avenue. The grounds present a fairy like picture and the hot house fruits and flow- ers are delightful. There were the usual number of drunk- en mcn and boys on the borough out- skirts Sunday, showing ibnt the police need to look at the Sunday sales of liquor by the rural dealers. Next Sunday is “Children’s day” in the First Congregational church.‘ The little folks are drilling in hymns and short rccitations, and expect a happy time to- gcthcr on Sunday afternoon.

Mr. Selleck occupied the pulpit of St. Paul’s Sunday morning, and Rev. Mr. Clapp in the evening. The music was un- usually good and suited to the worship of Trinity Sunday. Miss Hawley’s rich con- tralto voice won for her renewed admir- ution. Rev. Mr. Lecte, of Ridgefield, preached two able discourses at the First Congre- gational church Sunday in exchange with Dr. Anderson, who preached for Mr. Leetc in the Ridgefreld Congregational church.

The startling information comes from the Green Mountain State that a Vermont boy learned to make cider brandy in his mother’s teapot from the information concerning the “physiological effects of alcohol" contained in one of his obliga- tory text books. The Gourant sizes up the Washington Military drill. It says the projectors are out of pocket $25,000, the awarding of prizes was not satisfactory and the out- cropping of sectional and race prejudices renders a renewal of the enterprise in future years improbable. Vice-President Stevenson is moving with his customary energy. He has made arrangements for the running of Mann boudoir cars on the through Housatonic trains for Albany. Hc'intends also to re- move the re air and construction shops from Falls illage to this city as soon as may be. They were formerly located here—Bridgeport News. In proportion to its size there is no station on the Danbury & Norwalk divi- sion which has a larger patronage than Catherine street. But it would be appre- ciated more if the management would see fit to stop another train in each direction there. Rev. Father W. J. Slocum, accompan- ied by Rev.Father Kennedy, will start for Europe on Saturday of next week, 18th lnst., via Inman line steamer City of Richmond.

The Woman’s club meets for the last time this season at the house of Mrs. Henry Bissell on Thursday next.

Blasccr has been obliged to resign his position as clerk in Superintendent Hopson’s office, of the New York, Rutland and Montreal railroad, on account of ill health. Phy- sicians in Bennington, also Dr. James Gregory, the family physician, advise change of air. Geo. F. Quintard has secured the agency of the deservedly famed “Golchestcr Creamery Butter." It comes to him daily packed in ice and is unsurpassed as a table luxury in the butter line. Quintard is bound to have the best of everything in the grocery line, and no competitor gives better bargains. Mr. C. A. Quintard, the autograph col- lector and connoisseur in ancient manu- scripts, has secured some old ofilcial doc- uments from Ridgefield which are quite interesting. One. is a contract for build- ing the first grist mill ever constructed in the state of Connecticut, dated 1716; the lively 1821 and 1850. Mayor Hewitt says he is going to give New York clean streets and make it. one of the most spick-and-span cities in the world. He has notified the street com- missioner of his purpose to turn him out if he doesn’t attend to his duties properly, and he is trying to induce the street rail- road companies to discontinue the practice of sanding their tracks. The big World balloon, captained by Fred Moore, of Winsted, will go up from St. Louis next Saturday. It is 125 feet high and will weigh, without ballast and pas- sengers a ton and a quarter.

Doughty, of Winsted; Prof. Hazen, of Washington and Edward Duffy, the World‘s representative. having been the character; under discus-. other two are deeds of land dated respec-I NORWALK GAZETTETIWEDNESDAY, JUNE ‘8, 1887. ‘ Tire borough meeting Monday night voted to go ahead with the sewers and to at once order the curbing and side walk- ing of the “Newtown pike” up as faras the late Judge Smith homestead. Transactions in the local stock markets last week were at advancing prices. Dan- bury & Norwalk sold at 56 1-2. and Nau- gatuck railroad from 222 to 230.

Telephone 85 bid, 86 1-2 asked ; Air Line 5’s’ 109 bid; Housatonic 5’s 102 1-2 bid; Consolidated 4’s, 190 bid, 212 asked—Bridgeport News An exciting game of base ball will be played on the Fair grounds next Monday between clubs organized respectively by Thomas S. Morison and Mr. C. B. Cool- idge, the team of the former to be chosen from ‘the west side of the Bridge and their antagonists from the east side: There is no’doubt that the game will drawn large and appreciative crowd of spectators, and some scientific playing maybe looked for. On Fridaylast George D. Rogers, pro- prietor of the Hotel Brunswick was given a hearing before Justice Selleck at the Town House, for an assault on Butcher William Abbott, who had his lip cut open and some teeth knocked out. in a melee in the barroom of the hotel on Wednes- day previous. Rogers pleadcd self dc- tense. He was bound over in $100 for trial in the Superior court in Bridgeport. Judge Andrew Selleck is talking about taking a trip to Europe. Blaine and De- pcw and Bailey and Moody and other noted men, are going and there is a pro- priety in the Judge taking a much needed rest and what could be more enjoyable, or profitable to him, in the way of de- lightful experiences, than a summer tour of Europe. His going would tempt us to braye scasickncss and 'storms and to go along, for what a circus we would have. A new express trrin is to be put on the Housatonic railroad the first of next month to leave Bridgeport at about 7 o’clock daily. It will be in charge of Mr. Gui-don S. Coit, late of the Consoli- dated road, and a well-known and elli- cicnt railroad man. Manager Stevenson if fully alivelto the interests of his new trust. _ John Wade moralizes thusly:-“Onc of ‘ these days a prisOncr of some consequence will escape from South Norwalk’s apology for a lockup, and then the city fathers will wish that bars of iron instead of wooden slats formed the doors of cells. The city lockup is a disreputable place, and a man who has once been confined thertin has had punishment enough for this world.” The Sunday view of the deposit of old stoves, beer and whiskey barrels, all over thelittle park in front of the M. E. church, the debris of Saturday’s auction, was bad enough, in all conscience, but when. a barrel of old papers and a straw bed, emptied out to be blown about by the winds, were added, the nuisance became almost Intolerable to contiguous residents and 'passers by. Such an outrage ought not to be again permitted by our borough authorities. ' Mr. S. B. Wilson and family have re- turned from their western trip. Mr. W. is much improved in health by his short vacation. While absent he visited at Grand Rapids, Mich, Chicago and other western towns and cities, and on his re- turn did Niagara Falls to his heart’s con- tent. He looks as sun'burnt and browned as a Maine mackerel skipper, and now if he willtakc life a little easier while at home he may hope for a tolerable degree of good health. One of the latest novelties to attract our attention is a nicely bound 64-page book entitled, “What to Do,” containing descrip- tion and to correct rules of a large number of games suitable for parlor or lawn, which has been issued by the Passenger Depart- ment of the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Man- itoba Railway, and will, we understand, be forwarded postpaid upon receipt of 8 cents by C. H. Warren, General Passenger Agent, at St. Paul. The fourth annual strawberry festival of the Broad River Sunday school is announced to be held in the chapel on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, June 22 and 23. There will be an interesting programme of vocal and instrumental music, speaking and dia- logues by members of the school, assisted by local musical talent. The society and school have just entered upon a new year by the election of the old board of officers and everything looks well for the usefulness and prosperity of both. . . Rev. Edward Anderson, who is prob- ably the only Scottish Rite Mason in this town, (32d degree) will attend Thursday evening a rendezvous of Lafayette Sov- ereign Consistory in Bridgeport. The call reads as follows: Sunum: Pruner: :—A rendezvous of Lafayette Sovereign Consistory, A. A. S. Rite, will be held on the 17th day of the month Nisan, 5647, corresponding to our Thursday, J une 9th, A. D., 1887, at 7:30 o’clock p m., in Scottish Rite Hall, Bridgeport, rrnder the C.

The passengers on the Housatonic train down Friday morning were horrified on reaching Cornwall Bridge to see the lifeless body of ayoung boy lying near the depot platform. The lad, who is a son of Lafayette Barnum, had been accidentally killed a moment before by one of his playmates. Young Barnum had a pistol which he was showing to two other boys of about his own age. He handed it to one of them, who inquired if it was loaded. When Barnum replied in the negative the second boy aimed the weapon at him and pulled the trigger. The pistol went. ed and the ball passed into the Barnum boy’s forehead, killing him instantly—Farmer. It is said there were three base ball games in town last Sunday~one on the Amphitheatre grounds, one on the “Ele- phant lot” and one on the Fair grounds. The police were so busily engaged watch- ing the backdoors of the gin mills, that they had no time to maintain the sanctity of the Sabbath against the ball players. They can't be everywhere at the same time, but it was noticed that there wasn’t as much Sunday drunkenness about the centre of the village as usual—whatever may be said of the outskirts. The War- den was after the dealers himself with a sharp stick. To-morrow (Wednesday) morning, weath- er permitting, that fishing party of editors, insurance and machine agents, doctors and other truthful and highly respected citizens who cannot tell a lie, will embark on an ex- pedition in pursuit of fish stories, down the harbor. They will go armed and equipped for any kind of sea game, from a flipper to a Whopper, and in order to satisfy the world that the reports they may bring back shall be nothing but the truth, they will be ac- companied by the religious editor of the Saturday’s editions the log will be pub- lished. ' —A visit to the Gunner House, C. B. DeKlyn, proprietor, will well repay visitors to the city. Many times an article that is absolutely needed at home, costs so much. that fami- lies of limited means, are not able to pay for them, that is, not cash down, So they wait and save, for of course they want to buy cheap. Now if they but knew it, delay is useless. B. A.Atkinson & Co. will sell them, at cash prices, just what they want. The method is simple, the total amount is divided into a number of equal parts, a first payment is made and the balance is made at stated times. The only difference between this method and spot cash is that to the cash price. is added the interest of the deferred payments, and surely the possession of the goods so much earlier is well worth this slight difference. Record, and also John Wade, and in next. Enginecr J. C. Rawn was in town over Sunday. ’ ——Finncy & Benedict have the superb Colchestt r Creamery Butter. Mrs. William Glass has returned from a weeks visit with friends in Washington, D. 0. Mr. Blaine and wife and two daughters sail for Europe today. They expect to be absent a year or more. It is on dit that one of our most popular grocery merchants, as Well as generally supposed hitherto to be incorigeahlc old bachelors is about to lead to the alter a most worthy lady not many years a widow. Abundant congratulations would follow such a happy and appropriate consumma- tion. The argument will be heard lo—(luy, (Wednesday), in the case of the injunction of Nickcrson vs. Lockwood, before Judge Hall in the Bridgeport court of common pleas. This is one of the outcomes of the Raymond &. Nickcrson dissolution case, and is an action for damages against Geo. C. Lockwood by Mr. Nickel-son for loss of business by the closing of the store by Mr. Lockwood, landlord of the store building. Through some inadvertunce on the part oi'o. member of a sewing circle. yesterday morning, the report became public property that “ Dutch George” Wendling was mar- ried ; that he had gone off on the sly, after the prevailing and popularizing style, and committed matrimony last Sunday. Very naturally this rumor created a large sized sensation, and George was as much mysti- fied by the copious congratulations showered upon him, as he was even when, during his visit to Hartford his plug hat. caused him to' be taken for a distinguished senator and he was approached with reverence by Litch- field’s court house lobbyists. When asked concerningthe truth of the report of his marriage George replied with classical elo- quence: “ Das ist ein verdammte falscheit ! ” He furthermore says he not only is not. married but he has no intention of getting married, although he frankly admits that he is old enough and big enough and per- haps ought to. ' MOP—- From the “ Record.” Whenever the Rev. Col. Anderson rises to speak at a banquet, the banquetecrs invariably drop their knives and forksand spit on their hands preparatory to a vig- orous clapping, which inevitably follows. The. Mutual drum corps wrll entertain the Humane Hose drum corps of Danbury soon, and will take them out sailing and fishing. The Mutuals, by the way are endeavoring to raise new and handsome uniforms. ' The Tin Horn Club, from Raymond «Sr. Comstock’s shop will make a cruise on July 5th to points cast, taking in Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, Newport, Fall River and other places of interest. Tire cruise will last from fifteen to twenty .days. and will be made on board the sloop Minnie Rowland. There are sixteen members of the club. Abe Wright is to be cook. A new side-track is to be built on the east side of the depot at South Norwalk. It is reported that the Consolidated R R. Co. offered Mr. Swords $20,000 for his building which stands on land to be used by the side-track; that he declined to sell at less than $24,000; that the Commission- crs were called out, who condemned the property in favor of the railroad com- pany, awarding Mr. Swords $16,000 The new Bridgeport Elks’ Hall was opened last night, when the Elks held their first meeting therein. This hall is on the corner of Court and State streets, and the lodge room was fitted up at an expense of $3,000, and is pronounced the finest room of the kind in the city. Tire grand ofilcers were present last night, and about a dozen candidates received the first and second degrees, including, we understand, two or tirrcc candidates from Norwalk. Exalted Ruler Simmonds is justly proud of the Elks’ new quarters, fordwhich he is entitled ton. large share of cre it. Thomas Murphy, aged about 60, a rail- road cmploye, father of “Jack” Murphy, of the South Norwalk baggage room, was killed in Stamford on Wednesday. According to the Advocate he had started with dinner pail in hand to walk from the depot to the Elm street crossing, near which he resided with his family, consist- ing of his wife and seven children. Near the switch house, through some fatal mis- apprehension of his position, caused per- haps by the fact that an engine was near him blowing ofl steam, he was caught by the lightning express coming west. His head was terribly crushed and leg smashed, and he died instantly. Medical Examiner Hurlbutt investigated the circumstances, and very soon reached the only possible conclusion, that the sad affair was purely accidental. Reporter Wood, of the Bridgeport Post, met with a rather dismal experience late on Friday evening, when on one of his rcportorial excursions to Springwood. While on his road home, directly under the railroad bridge by Mifltm Bates &. Co‘s. factory, he received a blow in the face . and, at the same time, felt some one twist- ing his necktie until he was nearly choked. while some other rufllan ripped open his vest pocket, and extracted therefrom wealth to the amount of $26. No further violence was offered BrotherWood. Chief Colgr0ve is of opinion that the perpetra- tors of this outrage are tramps—Journal. This may account for the absence of any Norwalk news in the Post for the not few days. They must have robbed 00d of his pencil and grammar, as well as his boodle. The case of Wm. Abbott vs. George D. Rogers, landlord of the Hotel Brunswick, came up before Justice Selleck at the Town House, Friday. Tire plaintifi alleges that he entered the hotel barroom and asked Rogers to have a drink, where- upon Rodgers, who had been fooling with another party, went around back of the bar, picked up a heavy root beer bottle, and. without a word of warning and on no‘ provocation. struck Abbott a terrific blow on the upper jaw, laying the lip open and knocking out several teeth. Defense claimed that Abbot was violent and at— tempted to use force; that he followed Rogers to the bar in a threatening manner, an that Rogers struck the blow in self defense. J. J. Walsh for plaintiff; E. M. Lockwood, Esq., for defense. Judge Selleck found “ probable cause.” and bound Rogers over in the sum of $100 to appear for trial at the next term of the superior c ourt. -—-<§>——=—- VSO UTENOR WALK. Good laws are a good thing, if enforced. On Sunday, the quiet was unbroken by the passing railroad trains from 9.80 a. m. until 4 p. m. A special Sunday school concert, is to be held in the city Congregational church next Sabbath evening, for which elaborate preparations are being made. The question was many times asked on Sunday, where “Gene” purchased his peanuts and bananas, with which he was so abundantly supplied, on that day. Sunday was quiet and orderly, in com- parison with Sunday two weeks since. But it was very evident that many found secret doors, through which they ob. tained whisky, beer and cigars. Miss Hotchkiss, of Syracuse, N. Y., sister of Miss Julia Hotchkiss, who was at one time a teacher in the Franklin St. school, is visiting her mother on Bay View avenue. She expects to sail for Europe with a company of friends. in a few' days. Many were the eager eyes viewing the new’ purchase of land, (a part of the A. E. Beard estate, on Chapel street) made by R. H. Rcwn, last week. A number of men Were heard to say, “why did’nt I know that ground was for sale.” It is for sale. Beautiful lots, at good prices. The City‘Fathers, by their Clerk, have notified the N orwalk Horse Railroad Co. to bring their tracks up to grade. ' A man who knows something of the railroad business, asserts, that before the Railroad Co. do any thing in compliance with the City demand, they will know ”when, how and where,” the grade was fixed. Hav- ing raised their track “to grade” years since, they do not see the point of the new order. ——-—~——ooo————— GREENS FARMS. Tire rain of last week did very much golod and the cemetery is looking beauti- fu . Some weeks ago since Rev.|Mr. Relyea gave notice of his intention to resign his pastorate. Yesterday he read his formal resignation, and at a. meeting of the church after service it was proposed to call meetings of- the church and society on the 10th inst. to act on the matter. s. A. w.

The meeting of the Teachers' association was postporicd on Monday evening on ac- count of the entertainment given in Na- tional I-lall by Miss Hyde. Tire Captains Allen have put the schooner LizZie A. Tollcs, in order and will run her on their route until their new steamer is ready, which will be about Sep- tember first. ‘ During the past week the people of this village have been enjoying some of the advantages of the cities, there having been a ten-cent theater at National Hall and a free show given by some patent medicine man near D. A. Sahnon’s store. Both were largely attended. Wedn'esday evening a large delegation from St. John’s Lodge No. 6, of Norwalk, visited Temple Lodge No. 65 of this place. and exemplified the work on the third degree. After the lodge was closed all adjourned to the vacant store below where a fine collation had been prepared by Cat- erer Lclm. ' _ On Friday afternoon the children of the Congregational Sunday school, will meet to form a juvenile temperance society. Mrs. Fitzgerald, the secretary of the soci- ety will be present and assist in the organ- izatron. Mrs. Fitzgerald will also speak on the subject of Temperance at. Saugatuck on Thursday evening. Mr George Ferris of King street, lost a valuable horse on Tuesday of last week of spinal meningitis.
