Serious Accident-
: On Water street, while attempting to cues
i the track on the Washington street cross-
was struck by the fast express train from
New York going through at 5.10 and
thrown violently against Swords’ building
on the corner. He was picked up and
taken on a stretcher to the depot and la-
tcr was brought to his home at the
borough. Doctors llitchcock and Burke
made an examination and found a fright-
ful wound on the left side of his skull and
several scverc bruises about the face and
head. His left hip was also terribly
bruised and his body was black and blue
and swollen fioni tiic violence of the
shock. He was kept under the influence
of powerful opiates all Monday night and
was delirious. Tuesday morning the
Doctors found him as comfortable as they
could expect, but suffering intensely from
pain. His inability to move his lotvcr
limbs, and the intense pain in his back
gave rise to the fear that his back was
broken, but the physicians aftercit'reful
examination decided this was not the
case. The patient will probably recover,
providing no unfavorable results follow
the injuries to his head. He is suffering
considerable pain, and will be laid up for
some time.
The gates were down when Mr. Cornell
started to cross the track and lie stooped
under them, thinking there was no train
due, the freight train having just that
minute passed in the opposite direction.
He was laboring under excitement at the
time which may acouuiit for his apparent
carelessness. He had just come fromu
lawyer’s office where he had sworn Iout a
warrant for the arrest of amnn named
Fisher who» had assaulted him while at
his work on the new corset factory,and
whom Mr. Cornell refrained from thrash-
ing on the advice'of Mr. Goldschmidt of
the corset firm, who witnessed the assault
and who advised Mr. C. to prosecute him
instead. Mr. Cornell has the sympathy of-
ull in his misfortune.

Chickcring 'Hall, New York, Dec. 15, 16
and 17. The objects of the call are sum-_
marized in the following extracts from the
circular:—— _ ,
“The primary object of holding this
convention is to consider the propriety of
organizing, in the various states of the
union, a large number of republican clubs
and to determine the best manner of con-
ducting the work.
“Also to devise some system that will
conducc to the effluent co-opcration of
these clubs in state and national politics,
and the formation of a national league.
"This work, if properly carried out, will
lead to increased party efficiency, to an
intelligent comprehension among the
masses of the living questions before the
country, and to a degree of organization
hitherto unknown in the history of any
political party.
“The convention shall not name, recom-
mend or nominate any candidate for
office."

property from the Olinstead building on
Main street, around the corner to Selleck
Brothers on Wall street, including the

South Norwalk parties. Jerry Donovan
is credited with being the purchaser, but
the true inwardness of the deal is, for
some reason, being kept a close secret.
Speculation is rife as to future develop-
ments, and it- is surmised by some that
Mr. D.’s intention is to head off the new
hotel project, by tearing down the Bruns-
wick and erectinga new and fine brick
hotel with capacious stores, etc., on the

The light in the west seen from the
city on Friday night proves to have been
from the burning of a house in Darien,
Which was built many years since, by
Moses Y. Beach, then the owner and
editor of the New York Sun, which be
occupied once for a summer home. Late
years it has been used, if reports ars true,
for evil purposes, so that the neighbors are
pleased at its destruction.
A newlymarried couple were met in the
horse cars on Sunday, evidently on their
way to church. Sorrow or pain was de-
pictcd on the face of the groom, and there
was an animated but low whispering, and
judging from actions, was something like
this: ”George, there is sadness in your
eyes." “Yes, Nancy, I am far from being
happy.” “Confide in me, dearest. Let
me share your sorrow. Have the buffet-
ings of this cruel world cast a gloom over
your soul ?” “No not gxactly, lint you
see these shoes are new, and they pinch
like thunder.” They left the carat the
Catholic church. .
Among the many who visit New York
City was a delegation from South Nor-
walk on Friday last, consisting of a lady
and her daughter. They were in search
of Schaync, the great for dealer. When
his store was found, they entered, having
his advertisement in hand, asked to see
some of his $1.50 seal sacks. The store.
keeper assured them that no such garment
was for sale there. Showing the advertise-
ment the lad y said, “you’ve advertised
them, 'tis here I liav it—snlc skin sax
$1.50.” The saleman replied, "That is
$150.” The reply came quick and em-
phatic “I’d not~givc yo $150 for a dizen iv
um." ‘
The old resident of “Old Well" of ye
olden times was met again, and he was as
communicative as over. Having, by the
courtesy of John, a ride in and around the
Woodward property, and by some one of
the many real estate agents, a ride through
Bouton lane, north Elm wood and Bay-
view avenues, and the intersecting streets,
then crossing the turnpike, through the
new plots for improvement and being
built upon, he was somewhat amazed at
the extent of the borough and city, and at.
their rapid increase of population and
buildings. But, he remarked, what would
good Deacon Nash say to the utter dis-
traction of the beautiful shade trees which
he set out in his youth, or Algernon Baird
if he knew of any part of his homestead
was now being used for building purposes.
Then there is the property on the turn-
pike once owned by chraiid Lockwood
cu: 11p into building lots. and built upon.
This march of improvement is great, and
so different from olden times, I could not
help noticing it, said he. In a very few
years there will be nothing left to remind
any one of “olden times and us old people,”
except the names which have been given
to the streets of the city and suburbs.

On Thursday Ofliccr Kemper received a
telephone message to go to Saugatiick and
take charge of Frank Christian’s wife, a
partially demented woman who had been
around the station for some hours with an
infantin her arms. Procuring a team and
driver, he went .to Saugatack, and with
some difficulty loaded the woman and
child into the wagon and carried them
home, Mr. Kempcr then told her that if
she did not remain at home he would put
her in the lock.up, and also left word for
her husband to come and see him in re-
gard to sending her to Middletown. When
the husband came to see Mr. Kempcr he
said that if they would not take her to
the asylum she would go to New York
and not. return. With this understanding
they were furnished with tickets for the
city, and on Friday took their departure.
On Friday evening a special meeting of
the East Saugatuck school district was
held to confer with the society’s com-
mittee and consider the various proposn
tions made to adjust the trouble between
the district and the Congregational Society.
The society considered the building worth
$600 and offered to give or take $300,
but if the district bought, it must move
the building away, but this the district
did not feel like accepting, as it would
involve the purchase of a new site, and
cost of moving the building. The dis-
trict’s proposal was to sell its right in
the building and the furniture to the
society for $750, but after considerable
discussion it was voted to adjourn until
Thursday, 15th inst. It seems likely that
the location will be changed, and some of
the district favor a new building. The
eastern portion of Mrs. Blackman’s lot is
talked of as being a good location.
The High School building seems to be
paratus which has been placed in the
building has failed to heat it sufficiently,
although heaters and stoves of various
kinds have been tried during the three
winters which the school has been in
operation, and now another change is to
be made, this time» the Saugatuck Iron
Works is to put in a heater, but before
doing so they propose to change the. lines,
which is undoubtedly where the whole
trouble lies, as one of the laigest manu-
facturers, at the time the building was
erected, stated that it would be impos-
siblc to heat it. .Bcsidc the trouble thus
caused, the bell which was first placed in
the tower, became cracked, and for along .
tim'e gave forth a doleful sound, and some
weeks ago it. was replaced by another.
This one refused after being raised, to
come down, so that some one was obliged
to go up and pull it back. That also was ‘
returned, and now another, which appears
to be all right, will, with a clear tone and
free motion, summon the youth to their
studies in well warmed rooms, when the
new heaters are in.

A NOTED BENEFACTOR’S
Deed of Kindness, and the Marvelous
Benefits to the Sufferers in Warren
County Hospitablo.
Wassmo'rox N. J., June 26, 1887.
S. Anna“. Kll.MER, M. D., Bixomu'ron,
N. Y.:
DEAR Sin—Like the rest. of the profes-
sion, I have prejudice against proprietary
medicines; but like the rest, I can give
no good reason for it. A medical friend
of mine in the West called my attention to
your SWAMP Roor and bade me try it. I
wrote you for a sample, and you sent me
a generous one indeed. I have tried it
very carefully, and find it to be a woncr-
fully invigorating tonic in cases of
broken down constitutions. Thus far,
I find it gives great relief in kidney and
bladder troubles; in incipient stages of
Bright’s disease, diabetes and Unirary
troubles in general. In a hospitable, you'
know I have ample opportunity to test a
medicine. All patients treated success-
fully arc so many advertisers of its
merits.
Yours truly, Dn. A. S. Daron.
In charge of Warren County Hospitablc,

In an article laboring to show why Mr.

Mr. Blaine, and therefore that Mr. leve-
laud will be rcnominatcd and Mr. Blaine
will not, the New York World coolly
remarks:
Political parties do not nominate a innn
for the presidency because they admire
him, nor even because he is presumptively
the fittest person for the office,
Mr.’ Cleveland has received many back
handed compliments, but this beats the
record. However, the President is 100
thorough a Democrat to stand upon es-
thetics. Give him the ballots and any-
