in the mornilig with severe pains and all
was done that was possible to give her re-
lief; but all to no avail, she died in great
pain at 8:30 o’clock in tile evening. Sllc
leaves a husband and two small children
to mourn her loss. Deceased was a daugh-

On Sunday morning lust, appropriate
reference was made in St. Paul’s church
to the dccease of the Rev. Dr. Melancthon
l-loyt, of the distant diocese of Dakota:
Mr. Hoyt was an Old Well hid of some
seventy-five years ago, and with his fam—
ily belonged to St. Paul‘s parish. On the
occasion of his last visit to Norwalk, Rev.
Mr. Sellcck had the pleasure of driving
with him from a call in Southport, which
he had just made upon his early friend,
Dr. Gurdou S. Colt, rector many years
since of St John’s, Bridgeport, and the
venerable man seemed to take true com-
fort in going over old familialfigroundmnd
looking again upon scenes dear to him in
long departed time. After a life of valu-
able service in the cause of Christ the vet-
eran soldier of the cross |has fallen at
length upon well earned sleep.

The sad tidings of the sudden 'prostra-
tion, on Friday last, of Dr. Nathan Bouton
Warren, at his town residence. corner of
Broadway and Third street, Troy, N. Y.,
was received in this place on Monday of
this Wick. Dr. Warren is a member of
the well—known Warren family, and his
beautiful contribution to the memory of
his Norwalk ancestors was one of the
celebration in St. Paul’s church. He sent
only last Week, to Rev. Mr. Sellcck, an
elaborate allegorical and musical Christ-
mas play of his own composition, and fill-
ing ninety-three pages, which was pub-
lished in December past, and dedicated to
his niece, Miss Harriett Louise Goelct, of
New York city. The Dr. was about ready
to leave his room, on the morning of the
13th inst.. when he was seized with
his illness and tell. His brohert,
Mr. Stephen E. Warren, who was
near came to his assistance, and summon-
ed the physician, who states that he will
recover from tllc attack, although there is
apossibility that the complete use of his
limbs may not be regained. It is devoted-
ly to be hoped that the distinguished suf-
ferer may soon convales, and the use-
fullness of this valuable and noble 'son of
the church be. yet for many years prolong-
ed.
—-On Tuesday Messrs. W. B. Hall & 00.,
of red tirket fame, commenced their
annual sale, and also to give free return
fares to all who purchase the required
amount - The Farmer of Saturday thus
speaks of this Bridgeport firm :
Tuesday, Jan 3, will be a red letter day
in the history c_f W. B. Hall & Co.’s store.
It will inaugurate the tenth consecutive
season of sales by red tickets. The pre—
some of these on goods means a reduc-
tion in some instances to points below the
actual price at wholesale, and in all cases
so low as toalmost entitle them to be
spoken of as given away. The firm allude
to the holiday transactions as having been
most satisfactory—that the mark they
aimed at when the holiday season opened
was reached several days before the season
closed, and, thus, to celebrate the New
Year and impart some of the gladness felt
by themselves they are willing to divide
up, as it were, with their customers, and
thus make the feeling characteristic of» the
New Year mutual. Red tickets hung
upon nine-tenths of all that the store con-
tains, they believe will assist in doing this,
and at the same time tend to clean out the
store and make room for the spring stock,
a few weeks distant. Everything in red
white ticket bearing the price at which
the goods were previously sold will appear
with the red announcing the reduced
price. Scrutiny of these tickets will show
twenty, thirty, forty and often fifty per
cent. reductions. How the firm are able
to do it is known only to them. Real seal
wmps and jackets, colored dress silks and
saline, black cashmeres, the firm’s entire
stock of furs and fur'trinlmings, velvet
nmorcttes, so called, well understood by
the ladies, odds and ends of velvets and
silks dress goods, ranging from three to
twelvo :nld fourteen yards in length, and
the entire stock of holiday articles remain.

—-In the month of January the D. M.
Read Co. always offer some special, iii-
(lucements to their customers. They say
that they have no old stock to sell at a re-
duced price, for ill their store is never
seen goods that are shop worn or soiled.
Large purchases are made but prices are
p‘nced on them at first that readily close
the entire purchase, and thus gives this
house an opportunity to always place be-
fore their costumers fresh goods. They
now offer in the carpet department an
immense variety of patterns in Axminstcr
and moqucttc carpets at a low price.
These are new patterns that are very tak-
ing and the well known wearing qualities
of goods hougllt of the D. M. Read Co.
are assured in this lot. In the cloak room
plush wraps, jackets andsacqucs are now
still lower in price than over, while on
real seal , urmcnts there is a large percep-
tible di eI‘Lilf‘C from what is generally
asked in January. Large jobbcrs in dress
fabrics just now have some goods left to
offer at sacrificial prices and such firms as
the D. M. Read 00. are given opportunities
to buy. This is the case now for they
' have bought some 30 pieces of wool mix-
tures to sell for 25 centsLa box of ban-
nock-bum suitings at a littlefmore money.
These two items but citc an example of
their stock. The reference made to the
corner window that is filled‘ with linen
goods but half did them justice, for there
_ are car loads of damasks, towels, napkins
and cloths in their stock that must be
seen to get an idea of the styles. The D.
M. Read 00. are surely making January
a busy dry good and carpet month.

More War Talk at Home.
The new Haven Palladium, in a long
article which is evidently, to put it gently,
authoritative, sketches the growth of the
Consolidated railroad, especially under
President Clark, and then—and this'is
where chief'intcrest lies-it goes on to,
make some suggestions as to the future
and to group some’facts that are not gen.
erally known. They savor of war. »
All New York freight of the Hausa-
tonic railroad system has been diverted
from the Consolidated road, and is now
shipped by steamers from Wilson Point,
South Norwalk. This means the House-
tonic proper, the Danbury & Norwalk and
the Shepaug, and for that matter, so
much of the New York & New England‘s
business as is not prohibited by the con;
:1 cting link at the other end.
Then the Consolidated road is running
its own trains' down from New Haven to
the Stratford bridge and up the Nauga-l
tuck road, rivaling the Derby, and is re-‘
fusing to tranship freight at the intersec-
tion with the Derby road. It also threat-
ens to drop the fast passenger service of
the Housatonic now taken to Bridgeport
over the Consolidated on the 3 o’clock
afternoon limited express. Aild besides
and beyond that, it threatens to extend
the old New Hartford branch of the Canal
road up to meet the Boston & Albany
through Rivet-ton; Colcbrook and New
Beston. This would be practically par-
alleling the Housatonic; it would be giv-
ing Berkshire county another tide-water
ine. . ‘ »
But meanwhile the Housatonic proposes
to build down to meet the Derby, and the
New England managers talk about par-
alleling the Naugatuck or extending the
Shepaug, and so also working up into
Massachusetts, and their project for leas-
ing the Mcriden & Cromwell and perhaps
going up the other side of the Connecti-
cut from Cromwell, has been already al-
luded to.
It looks as if the forces were forming
for hostile action, hilt looks have been
known to mislead before to-day. The
triously building up a system, but so have
the Consolidated. The latter has now a
line treasury, a defined and centralized
management and lines reaching out in all
directions. The president knows the
weak points of the New England, but he
also knows the power it could exert in a
war. The New England has a deficit in
its treasury, but the rocking pocket book
of the Standard Oil Company is close at
hand.
It is all
worth watching—(Iowan.

Who II This?
The Sentinel of Monrlty gives the fol-
lowing from Darien:
The people of/Darien are a good deal
excited over the actions of a Norwalk man.
They claim that he swindlcd them right
and left. , He borrowed money from quite
a number of people there and gave bogus
checks in lieu of it. He also, according
to account, insured several people in an
accident insurance company and collected
as much as he could on the applications.
Those who hold the checks and insurance
seem to think at presentthat it will be an
accident if they ever receive a policy or
their money again.

Council Bluffs at 11:30 A. M., next day.
This is a magnificent train, including-Pull-

leaves daily at 6 P. M., and arrives in
Kansas City at 9:051. M., next day. The
equipment of this train is also superior
and unsurpassed, consisting (in addition
glint reclining chair cars and Pullmanpal-
ace sleeping (berths at reduced rates) and
buffet cars. Speed, safety, comfort and
luxury have long been recognized as
characteristics of the Rock Island, and,
more than ever, are these traits now ex-
emplified in its fast train Service, 'w'h'ich

great success, built up, solely, on the ele-

Integrity and Ability.
Twenty—two years of the daily and
