There has been considerable complaint
among the dwellers on Plymouth avenue
and that vicinity, concerning the lawless—
ness of the Italians, whose barracks are
on that street, and who are said to sell
beer on Sunday and get drunk and fight
and otherwise desecrnte the Sabbath and
make life burdensome for the godly and
law abiding citizens of the locality. We
understand a petition is to be presented to
the authorities asking for official interfer—
ence in these Sunday orgies.
Memorial day passed off quietly in Nor ’
walk. The exercises were carried out ac
cording to programme, the G. A. R.
marched to the cemeteries and decorated
the graves, escorted by the boys of Col.
Roberts’ military school. and headed by
the Mutual drttm corps. There was some
rain in the afternoon which undoubtedly
dampened the ardor of some who had an-
ticipated a pilgrimage abroad. A number
of people went to Roton Point to attend
the opening, where a pleasant time was
enjoyed. '
The Hartford Young Men’s Christian ‘
Association has been authorized by Gen.
Charles T. Hillyer to buy a site for their
new building not to cost over $30,000,
which he would contribute. The location
wanted isowned by Etna insurance com—
any, who asked $40,000. Finally the in:
surance company directors voted to ac-
cept $30,000. This gift will enable the
association to take the .first important
step toward the erection of a home. The
lot is large enough for a building 150 feet
square with a lawn beside. The region
about is attractive, and the structure will
face a beautiful park on one side.

chief of the Grand Army.
The monument just erected on the bat-
tlefield to mark the place where Gen.

that Gen. Reynolds is the only other corps
commander honored in a like manner.
A little daughter of Charles LaCroix had
a narrow escape frrm a fearful death
yesterday morning. She was riding on
her little tricycle along the sidewalk on
Wall street, and when in front of the
Gaza-nu building, from some cause her
tricycle ran off the edge of the walk
directly under Dr. Gregory‘s horse, which
was tied to a post, and striking against
his hind legs. The child was thrown into
the gutter, and the horse began to kick
and prance, demolishing the tricycle, and
while the horrified bystanders held their
breath in awful suspense, the child’s
mother, who had been walking along be-
hind, rushed forward, and at the risk of
being herself trampled by the horse,
grasped the child from between the heels
of the frightened animal, and snatched it
out of its dangerous position. Luckily It
was unhurt, but the escape was simply
miraculous, as those angry hoofs came
down wickedly several times within a
hair's breadth of the child's head.
Dr. Ellery C. Clarke, whose mental con.
dition has been growing worse for some
time past, was finally taken to a medical
institution iii Hartford yesterday morning
by Officers Lockwood and ‘ DcForest and
Charles “Burr, his nurse. Several times
during the past. week efforts were made to
induce him to consent to be taken to some
institution but he stubbornly refused to go
or even allow himself to be dressed, and it
was only by shrewd gcncralship that he
was finally started yesterday. A plan was
devised which induced him to go “just
out of spite.” According touu under-
standing between the officers and Mr. ‘
Burr, the latter, early yesterday morning.
told Dr. Clarke confidentially and in ap—
parent alarm that they were both to be ar-
rested for some trumped-up misdemeanor,
whereupon the Doctor said that as he was
not guilty he had no objection to being ar-
rested, snd when the officers came and
went through the form of making the two
arrests. the Doctor submitted gracefully
and dramatically an i was soon on his way
to "Hartford, where he was received by
competent experts who predict his full re-
covery.
Ground has been broken and excavation
is now vigorously going forward for the
new rubber factory which J. H. Buckley
& Son are to erect on their Cross street
property,for which the contracts have been
awarded, for the cellar work to Charles
Stevens, and the building to Wm. H.
Smith, both of South Norwalk. The struc-
ture will be three stories. above the base—
ment, 00x44 feet, with an ell 31x22 feet;
chimney 60 feet high with 24 inch fine. It
will be built of North Haven brick. Some
of the Georgia pine timbers used in its
construction are 8x14 inches. 47 feet long,
and weigh a ton each. These will be used
for girders and all the floors Will be
double, of two inch spruce plank overlaid
with % Georgia pine. A 30-horse power
improved Fitchburg engine with automat-
ic cut-off and 50 horse power steel boiler
will furnish power and heat and the hard.
est coal will be' used, to obviate the nuis—
., ance of smoke. The building will have
I two entrances, one for employee and an
The basement will be
P used as a rubber and storage room; the
first floor for preparing material, finishing,
I packing and office, and the third and
fourth floors for weaving rooms. The
' new building will have four times the
; capacity of the present quarters on Water
street and the number of looms will be in-
creased to fifty. With the increased ac-
: commodatims the number of employee
’ can be increased to one hundred hands,
The noted and favorite Fairfield Co. Regt.
the 17th, having received an invite fmm
the citizens of Norwalk through our public
authorities, will'hold their anniversary re.
union here the 28th of August next. The
completion of the State Army ball, will of—
ford a most excellent meeting place and din~
ing hall, for the veterans and tlwir friends,’
while the most private business meeting of
the association can be accommodated at
either the rooms of Douglass Fowler or
Buckingham Post, G. A. R. Of course our
patriotic, brilliant and orutoric local clergy
will be able to furnish the “brave soldier
boys" with all the “chin music" they will
require, while Norwalk’s various drum corps
and bands will startle and delight all lovers
of the instrumental sort. Let an old, true,
enthusiastic reception be extended our ret-
erans.
The time is now upon us again, when per-
sons frotii abroad, are seeking a summer
home here in Norwalk. We chance to know
of two families who would gladly make Nor~
walk their home for the next three or four
months pay a very liberal compensation for
fair and comfortable entertainment. A new
hotel, with modern comforts and appliances,
is otir greatest and most imminently pressing
local need. Will not our citizens of enter—
prise, of thrift and business ambitions,
awaken to this necessity of our time and re-
inaugurate the faint enthusiasm awakened
in this project last fall. Our reputation as
the most beautiful and inviting town any-
where along shore, and especially so for a
summer residence, is being seriously injured
by any delay in providing a first-class hotel.

What if the Boston 85 Maine railroad
should lease the New York, New Haven d:
Hartford and the New York&New England
and operate both as part of its line from New
York clear through to the far “down east " ”
The Boston & Maine, paying 10 per cent.
dividends, with its stock above 200, has al—
ready taken in the Eastern and the Boston
& Lowell and consequently the Massachu-
setts Central. Its policy isdecidedly aggres-
sive, and long ago the story spread that New
York was its destination. It has fought the
Boston & Albany already and is not afraid
of it, as the Consolidated road is. If the
Consolidated takes the New England, that
is supposed to mean war with the Boston &
Albany. But if the Boston & Maine takes
both, it will only be extending a. policy that
it is already initiated and if. can. work its
two acquisitions together. If the Old Col—
ony offers obstacles at the Shore Line end,
then the New England can be used as a Bos-
ton connection. The whole scheme would
make a strong combination, certainly, and
there are many evidences that something is
up, either this or some other arrangement.
--Coamtut.
The Bridgeport Farmer says:—A little
miter of punctuation- namely, the alleged
wrong placing of a comma—may have an
important bearing on the question whether
the state board of pardons have the au-
thority to commute the death sentence of
Philip Palladoni to one of life imprison-
ment. The working of the law transferr-
ing to the board from the legislature the
the power of pardoning convicts renders
it doubtful whether their authority is
sufficient to‘ cover the cases of criminals
who are under sentence of death. By the
transfer of a comma, however, the inter-
pertation that the board does not possess
this power becomes a perfectly reasonably
one, whereas at present the opposite is to
be inferred. Judge Lockwood, the con-
demned man’s counsel, will ask the board
to construe the passage in question in ac-
cordance with its palpable intent, or what
would be its intent with a slight change
in the punctuation, urging that the ap-
pearance of the comma in question in its
presentplace is plainly n printer’s error.
The case comes up for a hearing at Hart—
ford Monday, and the first question raised

A paper called the Voice is being gratu-

it is evident, for the one purpose of cre—

J‘The Voice is the voice of Jacob, .but the

Two young men strolling in the Old
Cemetery Sunday afternoon were horrified
by the sight of human bones, portions of a
skull being among them, which wood-
chucks in burrowing had brought from
‘tlieir supposed last resting place, to the
surface. The grave is situated in the
Western corner of the ground, and the
bones, from their appearance, had been
buried many years. There was no stone
marking the grave, but the mound appear-
ed to have been recently cared for. Fur~
thcr investigation showed seven more
burrows. , Each in or neara grave, and
near the centre of the ground, among the
old graves there were evidences that
these little ' animals had been
busying themselves for years. The
condition of these'graves by reason of
this burrowing is anything but attractive.
Of course blame cannot be charged to
anybody, bitt it might be important to
learn of some means by which further
ravages can be stopped.
Memorial day exercises under the aus-
pices of Harry McDonough Post, G. A. R.,
on Wednesday last, were of more than
usual completeness and selemhity. All
the new cemeteries were visited, and the
grave of every soldier known to the Post
in other grounds was decorated by dele—
gates aud sent for that purpose. In. Wil—
low Brook Cemetery. the full ritual of the
G. A. R., was performed, and the grave
of one Confederate soldier remembered.
In the village parade New Compo No. 2,

a printed card, the work of Treasurer P.
G. Sanford of the club, the name, number
and class of every yacht appearing on one
side, the reverse side showing a pretty en-
graved chart in miniature takenfrom ' the
U. S Coast Survey, with lines showing
the triangular sailing course of 15 miles,
depths of water, names of points of land,
buoys, rocks, eic., regulations governing
those sailing the boats, and other imform-
atiou necessary in order to intelligently see
a rece. Indeed it is superior to the ordin-
ary score cards used at horse trots, for the
reason that. there are no abbreviations.
Mr. Sanford, who is noted for thorough—
ness in'all he undertakes, in particular with
marine matters, though repeating rifies,
with winch he deals may not be overlook.
cd, is entitled to thanks for this graceful
contribution, The day was not a good
one for racing, nvhaze hanging over the
water, and the breeze light. Thirteen of
the yachts entered took the flying start
soon after'll em. and finished in an aver-
age of from two and a half to three hours.
T here was no chance to test the going
qualities of any yacht. The race was for
pennants in each class offered by Francis .
Burritt of South Norwalk, Commodore of
the club. The winners were in Class F,
Sylvia, E. S. Hall ; Class F, Amateur, F.
Burritt ; Class H, Professional, F. Burriit;
Class K, Anna, J. H. Jennings; Class L,
L. K. Young. Representing the club’s
regatta committee and also acting as
judges were James Crofut, Jr., of South
Norwalk, A. S. Cram, East Norwalk, and
Stanley 8. Smith, Bridgeport. A member
of the club states that there will be several
regattas during the summer, and in Sep—
tember a grand contest for cash prizes.
All, over this course.
An interesting incident took place Sun-
day morning in the First M. E. church
after the pastor, Rev. H. S. Still, had fin—
ished his sermon. In a few well chosen
remarks be outlined the efforts made by
former pastors to remove the debt, and of
the work the present pester had perform—
cd to that end. As indicative of the suc-
cess achieved be exhibited so that all in
the congregation could see them, three
notes representing $15,000 raised, paid,
and the notes cancelled, remarking in ef—
fect that, while possession of the notes
was, [in fact, sufficient to show that the
society owed nothing, the ashes of the. ‘1 .
manuscript open which, menacingly, had
been displayed for so many years the evi-
dence of their indebtedness would tell the
story of total cxtinguishment more forci -
bly. Each note was then ignited and
burned. Many of the principle contribu—
tors who had assisted the Rev. pastor in
his splendid work witnessed the ceremony.
After all was over congratulations were
'cxchanged and many pleasant assurances
given that new fields'of labor which the;
future might develop, would find them
ardently laboring therein. »
