has been sent to the state prison for man-

The Cedar Point regatta at Westport
Saturday was successfully carried out.
Of the fifteen or twenty entries, eleven
boats put in an appearencc. These in-
cluded the Puritan, Alice and No.‘4of
this city. The course was the usual one,
ten miles to the windward and return.
The Uardc, formerly of this city, was
among the contestants. It was ‘what is
known as a pennant race. The Puritan
of this city led off splendidly and evidently
would have been the victor in her class
had she not become disabled. As it was,
the Peggy of Nor-walk was the winner.
The breeze was light and the time oyer
the course somewhat ergtcnded, "None of

around boating headquarters yesterday it
was learned that the Alice of this city won
the pennant in lierclnSs as also did the
Uarda in her class. It was claimed that
the Alice outsniled the Uarda. No. 4 of
this city showed up well but failed to win.

The Canadians are at their old tricks.
They have seized an American fishing
schooner which was hunting for two men
lost in a dory, and they have captured
two scinc boats with their crews. Con-
gress gave the President full power to
protect American fishermen, but be has
not shown’any inclination to make use of
it. ()h, for one day of James G. Blaine

Mr. lloruce Hyatt has the agency for
New Haven county, of the most complete
school atlas, illustrating the science and
study of anatomy, we have ever seen.) Its
colored plates show the healthy and dis-
eased body and nervous system, and the
conditions of the human brain, stomach
and bowels caused by the use of alcoholic
poisons. The atlas plates are most ingeni.
ously arranged in a case, and the colored
manikins are true to nature. A copy
ought to be in every school in the land.
In the August Century General Joseph
E. Johnston gives an inside view of his
campaign in “Opposing Sherman's Advance
to Atlanta ;" Colonel Henry Stone de-
scribes “Hood’s Invasion of Tennessee,"
after J ohustou had been relieved and At-
lanta had fallen. Colonel Stone’s paper
includes a description of the battles of
Franklin and Nashville. Among the sev-
eral interesting contributions to the “Mem-
oranda on the Civil War,” is a letter from
General Grant, hitherto unpublished, in
which he gives his reasons for according
liberal terms to the Vicksburg garrisons.
Avery wide and general regret is ex-
pressed that the Leopards should have
been, by a misunderstanding, “choused”
out of what they and their friends assert
to be their fair and legal right to the award
of the second division sewer contract. Of
course the borough authorities must ad-
here to their rule of giving out contracts
to the lowest bidder, yet as the Leonards
state the case, it would seem that they are
fairly entitled to the contract. The state-
ment of the other side is yet to be heard.
At all events, it is clearly a misfortune
that the two bids should have run so
closely together. The contract was, or is
proposed to be awarded, as we under-
stand it, to a Mr. Bogart, of Brooklyn, an
experienced,capable and honest contractor.
A Bridgeport minister ‘who exchanged
with a brother parson on a recent hot
Sunday notified him that a 25 minute ser-
mon would be plenty long enough for the
morning service. and added that if he cut
. his evening sermon down to fifteen minutes
there would be no complaint. Which
was very sensible, but how about the reg-
ular, orthodox, forty-five minutes second
prayer, on a hot day ? Of these, the late
Mr. Beecher said "if Peter had attempted
one when walking on the water, he would
have sunk to the bottom of the sea and
been twice drowned before the good Lord
could have got a chance to ansvver and
save him.” The tendency of this rapid
age is decidedly against the old-time long
and eloquent prayers that used to be ad-
dressed to admiring congregations.

At a meeting on Monday between rep-
reseniatives of the Mcriden and Water-
' bury railroad and the trustees of the State
Reform school, it was voted to leave to
arbitrators the settlement of the price to
be paid by the road to the state for the
right of way across the school property.
Hon. John R. Buck, of Hartford, was
designated as arbitli'atOr for the. road, mad,
the Hon. E. LISchofield, of. Stamford, for
‘ the school.'a third person to be selepted
by the two. A proposition was submitted
to the trustees to‘ permit the work of grad:
ing to proceed pending the decision: the
railroad managers to give a satisfactory
bond for the payment of whatever amount
was agreed upon, The contractor for
buildingihcroad said the work was in
such shape that failure to begin grading
on the school grounds would necessitate a
temporaiy stoppage of work, and would
cost the company $200 a day. The trus-
tees dccidcd not to consent to the begin.
ning of the work.
The first case ever tried at Bridgeport
under thclaw forbiding the intimidation
of workmen was heard on Thursday.
Simon Doolan and James Reddy, long-
shoremen who work for thirty cents an
hour were charged with trying to force
William Doolan to cease working for
twenty cents an hour. William bad no
witnesses to back his story and several
persons swore that the cferlldants~ glide:
,no “meals. The isdsa'ssld as as the
testimony failed reestablish the charges
against the accused. he could. do nothing
but acquit them. Nevertheless he was
not fully convinced. that a certain sort of
intimidation had not been «practiced.
Had there been a well proved case of
actual intimidation he should have given
the defendants the full penalty provided
by the statute, which is a fine of $100 and
imprisonment in jail for six months.
“The law," continued Judge Beers in
substance, “was framed to protect the
right of any individual to sell the labor of

for support under these conditions, no
one has. a, right to interfere for the pur-
pose of driving him from his situation.-
The 20-ccnt-an-hour man cannot, under
the law, be prevented from working for
twenty cents an hour, any more than the
man whose work commands 50 cents or
more an hour can be prevented from re-
ceiving the rate of compensation.”
—During the past week the remark has
often been heard among the customers of
the D. M. Read 00. that never were so
many people shopping during‘ the rlp'iontli'
{of July‘as’thpre 'zp‘c ihlgnycgir, This is
' true the marshy and is accounted for only
because they are having their “July cut
pl‘lcc sale“ when everybody takes advent-
age of the scasonablc goods at low prices
and the comfort of buying in a store that
is always cool and well ventilated. This
week many new attractions have been
added to those that remain from last weeks

the best offerings. Afull assortment of

pcts that have always been a leading‘
feature with the D. M. Read 00. They

Michael McCoy azyouth of 22, with the
faint early dawn of a mustache on the way,
was charged with vagrancy and assaulting
Mrs. William Clark. Mrs. Clark took the
stand and related some of Michael‘s antics.
She is a rather petite pretty woman of
about thirty-five and lives in that histori-
cal part of Danbury known as Sherwood
City. Michael, she stated, got very full
the other day. He evidently was of the
opinion that undress uniform ' was the
proper caper this hot weather. 80 he
divested himself of the most important
and generallythe most cultivated portions
of his wearing apparel and chased Mrs.
Clark. around the house in his undercloth-
ing, uttering obscene words. Mrs. Clark
took refuge in a neighbors and the police
were sent for. Michael got sixty days and
Mrs. Clark took care to get her sixty cents
for testifying—Danbury Democrat.
Rev. Dr. Childs is again supplying Rev.
Dr. Sundcrland’s pulpit while the latter is
recuperating in the Catskills. Thus one
of Norwalk's former pastors becomes the
spiritual teacher of President Gr0ver
Cleveland. If the good doctor should
hurl some of those orthodox sermons on
“Sheol” he was wont to preach at our
Mayflower church, at the President, it
might, with the present broiling atmos—
phere, terrify him into a closer regard for
his civil service reform pledges. But we
despair of even so earnest and faithful a
preacher as Rev. Dr. Chllds being able to
save the President from the demoralization
and degradation Of his dreadful political
party. '
A story is told of a remark made by Mr.‘
Blaine before- his departure for Europe
which caused a laugh in the circle of
hearers. It seems that many years ago
when Mr. Blaine was abroad he had
General James A. Garfield as a compan-
ion while in England. In discussing the
plans for his present trip Mr. Blaine said
with somewhat of a sigh: “I doubt in
shall have as good a time as Garfield and
I did when visiting the old houses and
country seats. We got to see them all in
'the most thorough manner by simply ‘tip;
ping’ the servants and walking in at the
back door. I presume if Isce these old
places again I shall have to go in at the
front door, but really I think the old way
was more enjoyable."
The Dong Islander says: Messrs. Ed-
ward Thompson, N. S. Ackerly and J. S.
Lewis will shell their extensive oyster
grounds of Smithtown Bay next week.
They will spread on about two thousand
bushels. Some of the best oyster ground
in the country lies in this bay. The
oysters will spawn very rapidly anywhere
in the Sound but their destructive enemy
the star fish destroy them totally off the
back side of Eaton’s Neck and at other
points in the Sound, where the experi-
ment of raising seed has been tried. The
star fish cannot live where the water is
fresh. or even freshcncd up so as to be
brackish, as is the ease off Smithtown,
hence the seed oysters are safe there.
Tire Smithtow'n Oyster Company have
been highly successful. They sold ten
thousand bushels this spring at 60 cents.
The finest sets are obtained on gravel, the
seed being separate they are much less
liable to be crowded as in bunches on
the shells, and are much more market-
able. Messrs. Ackeriy and Thompson
have about thirty thousand bushels on
gravel; they are now one and two years
old and many of them will betaken up
next Fall. The price of oysters has been
kept up of late years by the European
demand. Over five hundred thousand
bushels are shipped every year to Europe.
The oysters are half grown when shipped
in the spring and are planted there till
Fall, when they are fit for their market.
Our oysters transplanted there grow much
finer than the native oysters. It is the
same in California waters, to which State
large quantites are shipped.
