At Danbury on Monday, FMBurps'

saloon keeper. There . had been’a quarts?!
about some beerbottles, and McNiff struck
the other man with his fist. The blow
was on the side of the head and Burns died
from its effects in about two hours. Mc-
NilT is said to have been considered a
peaceable man, and the fatal effect of the
blow was probably wholly unexpected.
He was arrested, and did not deny strik—
ing the other man in a quarrel. A later
dispatch says that McNiff found Burns
' Carrying bottles away from his saloon, and
after giving his story of the trouble con_
tinues: “Michael Rickey and Pinkey
Ryan found McNiff standing over the un-
conscious and bleeding form of Burns, and
one of them made the remark that it was
too bad to leave him there. The three
men then picked up the unconscious man
and carried, or rather dragged him up into
Mrs. Ryan’s room. Burn’s entire body
Wascovered with bruises and scars. At
other one was conspicuous on his throat.
The top and side of the head was also
badly bruised. A mark on his hand was
evidently made by being stepped on after
its owner was on the ground.”

NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1888.,
The residents of Wolfilrt’s hill were
startled the other afternoon by seeing a
woman llorscwhipping a milkman who
drives a route in the borough. It scents
as though he had insulted her several
times and she made up her mind to gut
satisfaction. She gave him a good whip-
ping and scratched his face nicely. He
has not driven on his route since—Senti-
nel. ~
The Danbury Nellie says : “A couple of
the students at the Curtis school captured"
a young gray squirrel. They taught him
to come to the call of a whistle, to jump
over sticks and through a ring. But what
is more wonderful still, they easily taught
him to drive in harness. They place a
bit in his mouth, and with lines can drive
him anywhere.”
It is scarcely seven years, says the Al-
bany Express, since the name of Roscoe
Conk’liug, had it been spoken ill a public
assemblage made up chiefly, as was last
night's, of Rt publicans, would have been
hissed and execrated by a good share of
it. But now it was when the orator drew
the choicest jewels from his rich treasury
wherewith to deck the memory of Roscoe
Conkling, that be best pleased an audience
which felt that no tribute to the character,
the purposes and career of the dead states-
man could be too extravagant. .How
times do change, and lneu change with
them!
This morning City Marshal Michel ar-
rested William B. .0. Mead, who claimed
to be a poet. He looked his profession
and attracted considerable attention as
he was conducted down Washington
sheet with his head uncovered and his
long black jet locks flying to the breeze.
Mr. Mead said that he was compiling a
book and had stopped over in this town
to call 011 Rev. Mr. Anderson. His friends
were so glad to see him that before he
was aware of it the poetic genius was
drunk. He lost his hat and awoke this
morning in Mr. Michel's hall-way. Poet

morning that the time allowed for the firm
to sign the contract and deposit the re-
quisite certified check for $15,000, lliill ex-
pired and tlle'fil'lu had failed to put in an
appearance or- siguified their intention of
doing so and that ill default of such no-
tice the borough board had decidedto
award the contract to J obn S.Bogart & Co.,
the next lowest bidder. _ This was not the
case although the contract was not signed

Chas. W. Schofield, whose name has
achieved unenviable prominence in New
York this week, in connection with the
Schoficld-Hatch tragedy and scandal, is
the only surviving son of the late Rev.
Seth W. Schofield, of Stamford, who died
Fell uary..23d, 1886, respected by all.

ow, the mother of Charles ’W. Schofield,
venerable-for her character as well as for
her advanced years still survives, and is
living with her only daughter in a com:
for-table home on Washington avenue.
The son in-fNew York has had a vicissitu-
(iinous business career, sometimt-s wealthy
alid sometimes comparatively poor. He
was at one timeunder criminal charges
for certain dealings in furnishing govern-
ment supplies. His first wife, with whom
his domestic life is said to have been
happy, and who was a most estimable
woman died about eight years ago. The
present wife—the moving spirit of the late
deplorable scandal—is evidently cut on a
very diflereut pattern. At one timein his
career, Schofleld has had certain business
associations with James W. Hyatt, the
present treasurer of the United States.—

The Connecticut delegates to the Na-'
tional ~ democratic convention will hold a
meeting in Bridgeport‘to-day,~ says the
News, under, a Call issued by Hon. A. E.
Burr of Hartford, the conference being for
the purpose. of completing arrangements
for the trip to St. Louis. The party will
leave the state on Friday afternoon, June
1, provided that the Massachusetts dele-
gation can goon that day. If that be im-
practicable the delegates from both states
will leave on Saturday, June 2, for the
convention, which will be held June 5.
Wm. H. Barnum of the National demo-
cratic committee will go to St. Louis, one
week in advance of the state delegates.
It is expected that _lle_willvbe accompanied
by Delegate Milo B. Richardson of Lifeb-
field county.‘ Mr. Bowen, delegate from
Windham county is now in the West on
business and will probably join the dele-
gation at St. Louis. A Wowester Excurl
sion company car has been secured for the
trip, the cost agreed upon being about
$400. The delegates have not yet ap-
pointed their alternatcs but will probably
make the appointments to day.

Andrew Marvin, brakeman on the night
freight of the D. 85 N. division, was
horribly killedat Wilson’s Point Wednes-
day night. He‘was at the brake on the
forward end of two cars that were to be
shunted onto a side track, and as the cars
for some reason, had not been uncoupled
when the engine shutoff steam, the jerk
threw him off the car directly across the
rail in front and the wheel ran the whole
length of the inside of his leg and into his
'bowels. He was immediately picked up
- by his cemrades, but gasped once and
died on the spot. He was 39 years of age
and has a wife and two children in Wash,

Bloomington, N. J. The marriage cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Dr. Clark of‘
Daubury, late of the Norwalk Methodist
Church in the presence of about fmty-in-
vited guests, a number of whom were from
out of town. After the ceremony a splen .
did collation was served. to which all ‘did
ample justice and at about nine o’clock
the bridal" couple took a coach for the
South Norwalk depot where they boarded
the train for New York. They will enjoy
a wedding tour of about a week’s dura-
tion through the west, and on their return,
will make their home in Bloomington, N.
J. the present home of the groom. They
received a magnificent collection of pros-
ents from their friends here, and also in
New Jersey.

“The Merry Maiden and the Tar.”
She was merriest before she “struck"
the tar. Hcr spirits sank as she beheld
her new white gound blackened by the
far. This tar helped a wagon rlln instead
of helping run a ship. Just soa thousand
trivial accidents and neglected “small
things” take the merriment out of the
lives of young girls and maidens. Partic-
ularly is this the case with diseases pecu-
liar to their sex which take so much en-
joyment and happiness from life. How-
evera remedy is found in Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription for all female
“weaknesses” irregularities, nervousness,
neuralgia, and uterine troubles. Ask
your druggist.
Dr. Pierce’s Pellets, or . anti-hilious
Granules, have no equals. 25 cents a
vial; one a dose. ‘Cure headache, causti-
patios and indigestion. '

A very useful dog is Dot, owned by Mrs.

Mr. Thomas Quinlall,Jr.’s bid of $1,625
for building a new school house fortbe

trout is supposed to be the descéndant of
fry propagated at the Poplar Plains hatch-
ing house, which is on 'a stream tributary
to the pond. The hatching house, it will
beremembered was destroyedseveral years
ago, and the trout were allowed to make
a home elsewhere as best ' they could.

Oil Thursday last Otto Christopherson
while digging post holes for a picket fence
on Mr. Lloyd Nash’s premises, south of
his house, unearthed a coin about a foot
below the ground's surface. It proved to
be a silver half dollar of. date 1810 In
place of the usual milling at‘ the edge of
the'Coin were the words, “Half.- dollar or-
fifty cents.” The piece, which had been
in the ground evidently 75 years, was of a
dull copper color, but upon being rubbed
proved to be of genuine silver. The
finder sold his prize to the village unmis-
matlst, Mr. P. P. Clllld for 75 cents.
When the Land and Improvement Com-
pany was organized ten years ago, those
who subscribed to its authorized capital
stock of $40,000, did so for the purpose of
giving Westport a boom. One of the
evidences, of their desire " is the fine_brick
Hatch &, Holmes Manufacturing Company,
and which, with its 100 . horse power new
steam engine,- could not be duplicated for
85,000. Last Tuesday the annual meeting
of the company was held, and directors
ward N. Nash, Andrew C. Nish, Am-
brose S. Hurlbutt, Elijah S. Downes,
Henry A. Ogden, Oscar P. Jones, George
S. Adams, Henry P. Burr. The 'last two
were respectively chosen president and
secretary and treasurer of the company.
Hezekiah M. Coley, Coleytown, .died al-
most instantly of heart disease on Tues-
day morning last. At 8 o’clock he had
placed a‘ span of horses before adouble
wagon designing to drive to Bridgeport.’
When all was ready he stepped into the
house, as is supposed to tell his two
daughters what he proposed to do, and
when he would return. Seating himself
llf a chair, he complained of feeling
strangly, but before the daughters could
ask the nature of the trouble and receive
a reply, his head fell forward and be ex-
pired. Mr. Coley, who was in his 83d
year, was much respected, and for up.
wards of half a century had been indenti—
tied with the Congregstiona'l Church.
The funeral was held Friday p. m. from
his late residence; Rev}; J'. E. ‘Tuttle
officiating, an'il lhedburial‘ltlok place in

One of the selectmenwss heard to say
Friday, that the, town had acted wisely in:
accepting the very liberal offer of the
Consolidated road in the matter of separatg
ing grade crossings at- Compo and Old
Field. He said he ,voiced ,the boardto
which he belonged and most of the large
taxpayers, in maintaining that, while the
town will be called on to pay a few thous-
ance as compared with the sum total It
would cost the town to have done the
company had acted honorably and very
liberally in the premises, and the tax pay-
ing people should feel ,thst they were
getting out of adifilcult corner cheaply.
This same selectman said he believed if
Norwalk had met the railroad company
ing problenra instead of, wasting time use-
lessly in hearings before commissioners
and courts, her work. like that in West-
port, would now be in progress. P
