manlic Journal, whercat, Jones of the
chstportcr retorts: “Don’t you believe
it, Brother Beach, come down and try
a few off the half shell, and then take
your pic.”
The Kentucky editor says that the “all

the atlicistic sheet across the way, cannot
bring discredit upon the Bible or tarnish
the fair fame of its :illustrious author,

“Pa ain’t turning out the sort of man I
expected,” .said a little cightyear-old
W innipaukcr as he returned, rubbing his
legs, froma wood-shed seancc with his

us let’s get a divorce.”
The Rev. Edward Anderson preached
at the South Norwalk Baptist church last
Sunday. He was listened to at both the
morning and evening services by a large
delegation of admiring friends from his
own church and the borough.
P. B. Gammon and family, formerly of
Norwalk, were among the sufi'crcrs from
the ice cream poisoning at the recent
South Glastonbury festival. They, as
well as the rest of the victims, are much
better. The poisoning is supposed to have
been the result of the cream being frozen
in an old and corroded zinc freezer.
Messrs. P. B. Lacey and W. G. Line-
burgh, appraisers of the estate of the late

Aprominent business man of Danbury
was met by the cashier of one of the local
banksa few days ago, when the cashier
asked: “Are you aware, Mr. Blank, that
your bank account is overdrawn to the
amountof $800?” “Good gracious! no,”
responded Mr. Blank in suprise, “I didn’t
know I had so much money in the bank.”
Mr. Isaac Bowc, one of the horse car
conductors in Norwalk, went last Saturday
with the Grand Army boys to Shell
Island. He got back'as far as Stamford,
and had to stop over Sunday with Com-
rade Bitch. Some of the boys may think
that he fell by the way, but the fact that
he went to church Sunday would not
seem to bear out any such supposition.
He left for home Monday—Advocate.
Mr. Jarvis Murray, of Norwalk, and
Miss Nellie W. Brown, of South Norwalk,
went to New York on Thursday and were
married in the Central M. E. church by
the pastor, Rev. C. S. Harrower, in the
evening. The happy couple returned to
Norwalk, and will reside for the present
with Mr. Murray’s parents on Center
avenue. '
Now that the Maryland Legislature has
formerly declared that cider is as danger-
ous as whisky, we may expect to hear
that the cider mills are forced to run
nights and Sundays to supply the demand.
Your freeborn American citizen is no
base, cringing coward. He sits up nights
and stalks down dark allies looking for
danger.
The Journal remarks: “It is true the
legislature has passed a law forbidding
boys under 16 years of age to smoke
cigarettes. But we would like to see
something done, some effective measures
taken to prevent the appalling ignorance
prevalent among the children in some
counties in this state, as shown by the re-
port of the state board of education.”
The Sunday school of the A. M. E.
church will give a concert in the colored
Odd Fellows’ Hall, Gazette Building, on
the evening of Tuesday, June 4th consist-
ing of music, singing, literary exercises,
etc. The proceeds will apply to the salary
of the pastor, which is now due. They
expect and will undoubtedly receive, a
liberal support from their white friends.
Antonio Rubino, aged seventy-four
years, was granted a license yesterday to
marry a woman of forty-eight. He is the
old Italian with an immense white beard
who, until ordered off the streets by the
police, ground doleful music out of a
small hand organ—New Haven Palladium.
Rubino’s face is familiar to the citizens
of Norwalk, be having been seen until a
short time ago, sitting around on the side-
walk playing his diminutivc organ.
The first paying train over the Pough-
keepsic bridge will be Barnum’s circus
train. An exhibition will be given in
Newburg May 25, and that night the train
will run to- Cornwall, thence ovbr the
Ontario d: Western railroad to Campbell
Hall, thence via the bridge connecting
road to and over the bridge to Pough-
kcepsle. It is thought there will be a
grand bridge opening on July 4.
The Bridgeport Lodge of Elks’ base ball
nine are trying to make a match with a
nine from the Danbury lodge. The
Bridgeport nine are : William H. Thomas,
first base; Johnny Anderson, second
base; Fred Pfau, third base; John Addis,
catcher; Charles Tuttle, pitcher; Louis
Brock, short stop; “Dick” Brown, right
field; George Cooley, left field; George
McGee, centre field, and John Lucey, sub-
stitute.
Warm weather seems to have a good
effect on the meetings of the Union Gos-
pel Temperance Reform Association in
South Norwalk. That of last Sabbath
was fully attended and of thrilling inter-
est throughout. Testimonies from young
reclaimed men, and the fervent words
and appeals by the brothers and sisters
that the good work should be continued
received a hearty response from all
present.
Things have been figured down fine
when a civil service examination is held
in New York to fill a vacancy in the street
cleaning department. When it is told that
the examination includes reading, writing,
spelling, arithmetic, &c., &c., and has
nothing to say about handling the shovel
and the hoe, it is easy to understand that
the employees of the street cleaning deg
partment may all be college graduates,
while the streets are knee deep in filth.
The oyster steamers are filling schoon-
ers from the east with the seed gathered
from the beds in the harbor, and similar
work is in progress all along the coast
from Madison to Bridgeport. The seed
brings from thirty to forty cents per
bushel, and frequently a steamer will
gather 2,500 bushels in a day. By the
schooners, the seed is taken to Narragan-
sett, and other custom localities, where it
is deposited to replenish oyster beds.
Woman, by nature, loves white.
Upon entering the world it is her first
robe. In a white gown she is brought for
baptism. She says her prayers in white
and kneels for confirmation in spotless
white. She is married in white, and after
that she lives over the white garment days
of her youth in the robes she makes for
her children, and when her task is ended
she folds her white hands and lies down to
sleep in a shroud as white as her soul.
The blacksmith shop and burn adjoining,
belonging to Samuel T. Ruby, in Cranberry
Plains, were totally destroyed by fire on
Monday afternoon. The fire was caused
by sparks from the forge igniting some
combustible material overhead during Mr.
Ruby’s temporary absence, and before its
discovery it had gained such headway
that, despite the efforts of the neighbors,
the buildings could not be saved, although
most of the most valuable contents, tools,
etc., were rescued. There was an insur-
ance of $650 on the property, which will
fully cover the loss.
The confirmation of a former rumor as
to the Shepaug road is thus given in a
Litchficld dispatch of Tuesday:——“It is
officially announced here that a party of
New York gentlemen, some of whom
already own summer residences along the
line of tho Shepang, Litchfield and North-
ern railroad, have purchased a large
amount of the stock of that road. It is
their intention to improve and extend that
line, putting it in shape to develop the
resources of the towns through which it
will run, and building up a large summer
business for which they believe this section
of the state has unequalled attractions.”
Pomfret, which was the home of Gen-
oral Israel Putnam, recently produced a
queer thing that was calleda lamb. It
belonged to G. A. Bradley. It had only
three legs, which were distributed among
two bodies and one head. There were
three cars on the one head, and one of the
cars was erected exactly in the front of
the head. The lamb lived three hours,
just long enough for Mr. Bradley’s fancy
to take a skyrocket pecuniary flight with
reference to clamoring dime musrum
proprietors. Then the three cars wagged
finally, the one head fell forward, the two
bodies shook convulsivcly, and the freak
was dead.
Sieve Brodie, the jumping gin mill
keeper of the Bowery, added to his fame
on Monday morning by jumping over the
Passaic falls at Paterson, N. J., info a
seething whirlpool, from a height of 105
feet and coming out uninjured. Sam
Patch, the old time jumper, once made
the same jump.
The Recoml of last week attempted to
have some funfwilh the zenm for say-
ing, as the Record charged, that Mr. T.
B. Hopper “dressed only in a straw hat."
Body’s joke, however, worked wrong-end
to, as Mr. Hopper appeared unto him on
Saturday morning full of wrath and pep-
per and gave him an unmistakable warn-
ing that if he ever said “Hopper” again
in his paper he must take the consequences.
That generally means a thrashing.
Tho sporting men of this region will be
interested to know that the spring meet-

same as at Danbury on corresponding
days.
The doctors who made the autopsy on
Washington Irving Bishop were evidently
in too great a hurry to discover what a
mind reader's brain resembles after death.
The distressing suggestion that Bishop
was not really dead at the time of the
autopsy will probably be found to be
without foundation. But the doctors had
no right on the assumption that he was
dead to cut up the dead man with inde-
cent haste and Without the consent of his
family or relatives, and the general public
will sympathize Very little with them in
the scare which the coroner gives them by
placing them under bonds to await the
inquest.
James Wilkinson and Richard Bolton of
New Milford went out on the Housatmic
river on Sunday, lost control of their boat
and went ashore. There they encountered
a farmer named Beardsley, who owned the
land on which they had come. He had a
bull dog, and seizing Bolton set the dog
on to worry him. The animal tried to
obey, but Wilkinson came up with an car
and threatened to strike down the owner.
Beardsley then called the dog off, but did
not succeed in doing so until Bolton’s arm
had been terribly laceratcd and his hand
completely bitten through. Beardsley
has been arrested. The dog was not reg—
istcred. '
Good Housekeeping for May 25, No.
100, offers two more of its famous prize
puzzles, one of which, a “word-building
contest,” is something entirely new in its
conception and will doubtless prove high-
ly interesting to the contestants. The
other is a remarkably well constructed
series of versified lines in which are con-
cealcd in cryptogram the names of 50 of
“Our Unforgotten Heroes,” men who lost
their lives at prominent battles in the war
of the Rebellion. These puzzles wrll
maintain the reputation of the “Quiet
Hours" department of Good House
keeping as being an excellent source of
instruction as well as amusement.
The four tracking of the New York
division which is now under way, and the
double tracking of the Shore Line division
which is in contemplation, would cost at
least $8,000,000, and with the grade cross-
ing law putting the entire cost of elimi-
naiing these death traps on the road an
enormous additional burden would be
placed on the Consolidated. To meet
this great expense and to extend the al-
ready magnificent facilitics of the road
the company demands, with justice, that
it be granted the power of increasing its
capital stock. How much the amount of
the increase will be made known at the
hearing._ As we remarked above, we are
heartily in favor of the road being granted
the power of increasing its stock. Such
increase would be beneficial alike to the
stockholders of the road, tothosc owning
stock in the leased lines, to the state and
its citizens, to the employes of the road
and to those others of our citizens who in
the improvements under way or contem-
plated would find a market for their labor
or supplies.— Waterbury Democrat.
The one hundredth anniversary of the
organization of the Grand Lodge of Free
Masons in Connecticut will occur on July
8th, at which time it is proposed to have
a stupendous celebration in Hartford.
Representatives from the Grand Lodges
of the thirteen original states will be
present. Twelve lodges took part in the
organization of the Grand Lodge. They
were Old Hiram, of New Haven ; St.
John's, .of Middletown, of Fairfielzl, and
of Hartford; King Solomon, of Wood—
bury; Wooster, of Colchestcr; St. Paul’s,
of Litchfield; Frederick, of Farmington ;
Montgomery, of Salisbury, and the Wall—
ingford and Danbury Lodges, which were
then unnamed. These lodges have now
increased to one hundred an ten, with a
membership of sixteen thousand.
“Grover” O. E. Wilson, the man who
recently, in a fit of abstraction, waited for
himself an hour on seeing a card which
he had tacked on his own office door
announcing that he would “return at 3
o'clock,” says he is getting more and more
absent minded every day. Last Tuesday
he filledihis pipe for a smoke but forgot
to light it, and deliberately knocked the
tobacco out into a spittoon; then he went
to the post office and got a couple of
letters, walked abstractcdly to the public
letter box and dropped them in. When
he got home his wife asked him if he had
received any mail for her, whereupon he
handed her a letter she had given him to
post the day before. He says he wouldn’t
be surprised at anytime to find himself
winding up his watch with a can opener,
polishing his boots with a bar of soft soap,
brushing his teeth with about jack, voting
the republican ticket, or even going to
bed on Saturday night without having
read the:1lecord. He attributes his :for-
gctfulncss to dandruff and a soft ‘corn.-—-

—The D. M. Read Go. early in the sca~
sonliad on sale an unusual number of
handsome combination suitings. Their
corner window from time to time, has
been admired when filled with these goods.
They have now fifty of thc'suits left on
the centre tables and will sell them at a
price that is unquestionably low. The
sale on account of the Associated Charities
has been quite large, but there are still
remaining some three dozen aprons and a
few other articles. New prices have been
made in these goods so that a ready sale
can be made and the account handed over
to the association in order that needy
women may be set at work. These goods
are to be found in the ladies’ underwear
department. ‘Hcmmedstitched fiouneings
of all widths and also hemmed-stitched
edgings and insertings with tucked effects
to match are the attractions at the embroi.
dery counter.
We have received from J . W. Knowlton,
Potentatc, and E. Stewart Sumner, Re-
corder, a circular headed “Ancient Arabic
Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine,
Pyramid Temple, of Bridgeport,” com-
mending “Illustrious Noblc” to “attend,"
and following the imperative command
with this ominous threat: “Scylet cs
Nahir cl Etnin Twenty-seventh Day, Ninth
Month, Hejra 1306, Ramadan.” We here
and now give Messrs.Knowiton and Sumner
to distinctly understand that while we
would have nozspccial objection to “attend-
ing” if the request had been made accord-
ing to the rules of etiquette, we cannot be
bull-dozcd into attendance by any ramadan
choctaw guff like the above. For the
benefit of others here, however, who want
to go, we will state that the call is for a
“Holy Festival, Sevlet el Kadr, Night of
Power," on Monday evening, 27th insi.,
in Masonic Hall, where there will be
“Light, collation, coffee, water,” and
“Owing to the large number of candidates
expected it is requested that all applica-
tions be in the recordcr‘s hands by 7.30
o’clock p. m."
Even Divine Providence can’t please
some people. Ten days ago Kansas City
journals were finding fault with the hot
winds and anticipated drouih. Now they
are growling at the rain storms because a
few railroad tracks are under water, a few
bridges washed away, large districts of
the city under water, and several lives
lost.
A Trumbull farmer tells the Bridgeport
Farmer that the indications are that there
will be a deluge of apple tree worms this
year, in fact they are here already. If not
destroyed soon the posts will destroy the
fruit. He suggests that an hour or two
spent in cutting out the nests and destroy-
ing them will save the crop of apples, no
only this year but for two or three years
to come. A blazing swab aliuchcd to a
pole and saturated with kerosene oil will
burn them OK, or a better method is to
use a pruning instrument attached to a
pole and cut off the twig or branch, nest
and all, and burn it.
The Portchester Journal man doesn’t
like John L. Sullivan a little tiny bit, and
goes for the champion knocker thusly:
”l‘he Boston drunkard and loafer, John
L. Sullivan, the notorious brawler and
pugilist, paid a visit to one of the Hudson
River towns recently, and we are surpris-
ed to find papers of respectability puffing
this wife beater, libertine and sot as a gen-
tleman, and his surroundings as respect-
able. Sullivan may sland high in some
quarters, but no moral man will recognize
a fellow who discards his wife for a mis-
trcss, goes on drunken sprees, and indul-
es in all sorts of orgies as a “gentleman.”
6 hope it will not be long before brutes
calling themselves pugilists, will be treat-
ed as the law contemplates they should
be treated.
At the meeting of the Fairfield Couniy
Teachers’ association in Bridgeport last
week one of the most interesting discus-
sions was on the subject, “The deficiencies
of our schools and how to remedy them,”
led by Principal H. B. Wigham, of Nor-
walk. The discussion was prompted by
the report of the state board of education
regarding the backward condition of the
schools of New London county. The ‘
general conclusion arrived at was that the
deficiency in the common schools of the
state can best bemet by more liberality on
the part of the districts and more thorough
and intelligent supervision. In too many
cases the people are unwilling to pay for
securing good teachers and the school
visitors are incompetent to help such
teachers as are employed.
Mr. John Wanamaker will probably not
be bothered with strikes. llis.system of
distributing a per cent. of profits to cm-
ployces would do more to solve the labor
problem than 3111 the labor combinations,
organizations and voluminous literature
onzthc subject. However great in a pure-
ly moral sense is this division of profit, it
is not a legal measure, and must for the
present be regarded as a purely philan-
thropic and generous concession of cap-
ital. While a workman, in a purely ethical
sense, may be cniiled to a share in the
profit wrought by his skill, he is in no wise
priviledgcd to demand it. There is a
very simple wisdom and a profitable wis-
dom in Mr. Wanamaker’s scheme. To
secure the personal interest of the cm-
ployce in the success of his employer’s
business to make their interests one is the
cheapest method of securing capital and
satisfying labor.
A Norwalk special to the New York
Home gives some interesting facts about
the much discussed road from Ilawley-
villc to Westport: “About six years ago
the Consolidated road had a survey made
from Westport toward Hawlcyville, but it
stopped within a few miles of the latter
place and was never completed. A short
time ago the Shepaug road was purchased
by a syndicate and plans made to build a
road to tide water at Westport. At pres-
sent the road begins and ends at compar-
atively small inland towns; but if an
outlet to tide water was controlled by the
road its receipts for freight (it has few
passengers) would remain at home. For
the last few years the road has done well
financially, and brighter prospects are be-
fore it. When the new road is completed
it will probably-be consolidated with the
hitherto despised Shepaug, which may
yet become a railroad power, unless it is
swallowed up by the New England or the
Consolidated, with which it connects.”
The large and elegant cottage that Isaac
I-I. Bromley, J r., advertising agent of the
the Consolidated road, has been building
at Eastern Point, ‘Groton, is nearly com-
pleted. Eastern Point is one of the
pleasantcst nooks on the shores of south
eastern Connecticut, and several years ago
alittlc colony of seaside residents built
there a collection of summer houses which
have been added to from time to time.
Most of the cottages are owned by Nor-
wich people. The settlement is not far
from the Fort Griswold House. There is
a wharf at the settlement, and in summer
the small excursion steamer furnishes
communication with New London. Mr.
Bromley has one of the handsomcst and
most comfortable cottages at the Point.
This house, unlike many of the seaside
houses, is plastered and provided with fire
places, and is also intended to serve for a
comfortable home in autumn when the
seashore is most desirable. Mr. Bromley’s
family will occupy their summer home
about J unc 15.
A remarkable natural phenomenon is
reported from Danbury, which has puzzled
scientists and attracts hundreds of curious
people to the spot for investigation.
Kenosia Lake is a beautiful sheet of water
about two miles from the Danbury print-
ing offices. Until within a few days ago
the surface of the lake was perfectly
smooth from shore to shore in all direc-
tions, its placid bosom being ruffled only
by the myriad fishing boats, the graceful
forms of uhundrcd swans and the beauteous
foliage of the fragrant water lily. A few
nights ago, shortly after midnight, Mr.
John Clark, director of the sanitarium on
the lake shore, was awakened by a terrific
rumbling sound. The building seemed to
be violently shaken by some invisible
agency of tremendous power. Mr. Clark
awoke his wife and told her an earthquake
was going on, then got up and went to a
window commanding a view of the lake,
where a most wonderful sight met his gaze.
The evening was clear and starlit, and not
sufficient air was stirring to rustle the
leaves of the trees. The lake, however,
seemed lashed into a fury of frenzy. From
center to shore it was seething and boiling
into foam and sending shoreward huge
waves that tested the fishing boats far up
on the land and washed deep gullies in the
gravclcd bank. The force of this violent
eruption seemed to radiate outward from
the centre,where the agitation of the waters
was the most furious. Mr. Clark watcher]
the strange spectacle until its energy
seemed diminishing, then went back to
bed. Early the next morning he went out
to investigate. The lake was as smooth
as a mirror, and only the havoc on the
banks, which seemed to have been torn
and furrowed by some mighty monster,
remained to show that the awful churning
of the night before had ever occurred.
Mr. Clark’s amazement can hardly be im-
agined, however, when on looking across
the lake, he discovered, almost in the ex-
act centre, where no obstruction had ever
been before, an island of solid rock at
least five rods in diameter and projecting
out of the water to the average height of
four feet. This island has been Visited by
thousands of people in boats, who have
brought away fragments as relics. Mr.
Clark has been obliged to forbid the carry-
ing off of these fragments, however, as
the veracity of the relic hunters very soon
made a perceptible reduction in the di-
mcuSIons of the island. It is the intention
of Mr. Clark to erect a pavilion on the
island and station a brass band thereon
certain nights each week for the benefit of
the patrons of ihe sanitarium.
Superintendent Quintard, of Norwalk,
who has had charge of the construction
of Mr. Geo. Lounsbury’s cotta es met
with the loss of a valuable watci Tucs-
day afternoon. He was burning some
brush on the grounds, when the watch
dropped from his pocket into the pile of
burning brush. When the pile of brush
was consumed, Mr. Quinlard found his
watch completely destroyed. He did not
notice its loss until after the rubbish had
been burned. The watch was worth per-
haps $100—a gold hunting case—Ridge—
,ficld Press.
She was not an ostrich, but a lovely,
delicate, willowy college girl, and this
marvelous feat of appetite occurred at a
college reception. In a moment of
abstraction she exchanged her piece of
sponge cake fora rare specimen of soft
coral, and ate it all up. Her inortificaiion
can be imagined when the professor of
geology finally traced out the loss of his
specimen. Her friends could not keep
the story, but they have suppressed her
name. So says the New York Sun, a
paper that never indulges in yarns.
The cost of the cup presented Consul
General Waller at his testimonial banquet
recently is about $600 which was all sub-
scribed by Americans living in London.
Governor Waller has been one of the most
popular consuls ever sent to London
from the United States. The cup stands
nearly two feet in height and weighs 130
ounces of sterling silver. It bears the
arms of Great Britain and the United
States blended in graceful design and the
following inscription: “Loving-Cup pre-
sented to the Hon. Thomas M. Waller,
Consul-General of the United States to
Great Britain and Ireland, at a public
banquet given in his honor on his retire—
ment from office. London, May 2, 1889.”
Jim Ellis, the Terrible, got on another
of his roaring sprees Saturday night and
deported himself in such a fashion that
Officer DcForcst dccideddo take him in.
Jim, however, was obstinate and refused
to be taken, whereupon the officer tapped
him ina persuasive way with his club,
and Jim lay down on the ground and re-
fused to get up. Chief Lockwood was
summoned and went for a horse and car-
riage to transport the obstreperous guest
to the Gcliebe Hotel. While the chief
was after the wagon, however, E‘lis‘
mother came around and made a fuss and
a cr0wd of interested onlookers lienfmed
the whole wrangling party in and in the
confusion Ellis broke away and escaped.
There has, as yet, been nothing done
about it, but it. is probable certain of the
onlookers, who practically aided in the
escape, will be taught a ,lesson, and Jim
himself will know more when it is all
over.
Miss Edna Parmclee, of Ansonia, the
young woman who was to have been mar-
ried about a month ago, but who was de-
sertcd by her fiance, Lou Powe, expecis
to sue Mr. Powe for $5,000 for breach of
promise. The sad part of the affair is
the young woman is soon to become a
mother and she claims that Mr. Powe is
the cause of her downfall. The young
lady is an orphan and has supported her-
self and saved a few hundred dollars by
working in the chandelier department of
the Ansonia Brass and Copper Company.
This latter sum she drew from the bank a
month before she expected to be married
and hired and cosily furnished a tenement
in Birmingham. She was very popular
with her employers and siiopmates and
when she left her work to prepare for the
wedding they made her a substantial
present. Mr. Powe claims that he dc-
serted Miss Parmelce because of a letter
he received from a friend who made
charges against the girl’s character. Mr.
Powe is in Plainfield, N. J ., and the town
authorities will, it is said, aid the girl in
her case, as otherwise she may become a
town charge for a time.
A peculiarly sad accident occurred at
the South Norwnlk depot Saturday even-
ing, by which Mrs. Warren Rowland, of
Five Mile River, lost her life in a horrible
manner. She was in the act of crossing
the street on the west side of the depot,
where the Danbury and Norwalk railroad
crosses, and, hearing a train coming,
which she evidently thought was the train
on the Consolidated road which she in—
tended to take for her home, she started
on a run across the D. and N. track for
the depot platform, without noticing that
the train was on the D. do N. tracks,
coming rapidly into the station. until it
struck her and threw her down on the
rails and ran over both her legs. The
sickening accident was witnessed by a
number of people on the depot platform,
who were powerless to prevent it. The
unfortunate woman was picked up and
carried into the baggage room of the
depot, where Medical Examiner Burke
investigated her injuries and pronounced
them fatal. Both legs were cut off, and
the woman died early Sunday morning.
About 8 o’clock Thursday evening, Mrs.
Susan B. Gardner sat on the plaza of her
beautiful home at Noroton, called “Minne-
tristra,” conversin , with a gentleman
friend. ‘Suddenly ames and smoke were
observed coming from the barn, and the
cry of fire was immediately raised, which
alarmed the neighborhood. In a few mo-
ments almost everybody in Noroton was at
work fighting the flames, that, by this
time, made the sky lurid for miles around,
and many people in Stamford noticed the
red reflection in the sky to the. east. The
first thing to do was to liberate horses and
cattle. The neighing of the poor im-
prisoned suffocating horses hurried their
efforts to get to them through the heat
and dense smoke. Before any of the
animals were reached, however, a Ger-
man, who slept in a room in the barn,
came out, with no clothing on except a
shirt, leading a horse. He had retired
early in the evening, and was awakened
by smoke ponringinto his room. With-
out waiting to put on his clothes he hur-
ried into the stables to release the horses,
one of which kicked him severely in the
leg. For some time he worked about the
fire, wholly unconscious that he had on
nothing but a shirt. With the help of out-
siders thcthree horses and the cows sta-
blcd in the barn were got safely out. But
nothing more was saved of the contents
the barn being burned to the ground.
Besides the large quantity of hay and
grain, a coach, carriage, buggy and road
wagon, harnesses, saddles and blankets
were destroyed. The barn and contents
were insured for $1,500 or $2,000, but
the loss will be far more than this. Mrs.
Gardener takes her loss philosophically,
but particularly mourned the destruction
of some carrier pigeons, whose home was
in the barn. She would not say exactly
what the loss was, but thought it consid-
erable more than the insurance—Stamford

WESTON.
A “star route” agent who sub-lets con-
tracts for carrying the mails, was in town
a few days ago endeavoring to find some-
body to take the contract for carrying the
mails between Weston and Norwalk, he
having underbid the present contractor,
whose contract expires July 1st. The
price for which the new man offered to
do the work was $174 per year, at which
figure he will have difficulty in finding a
man to take the job off his hands. At the
expiration of his contract Mr. Gregory
will run his Norwalk stage twice a week.
Stage driver Gregory’s team started for
a little exercise on their own hook a few
days ago from a point where they had
been left to stand without being hitched.
They ran at break-neck speed down the
road, overtook a farmer driving leisurely
along, hooked into his wheel, whirling
him violently around, and slewing their
own wagon off to one side of the road
against a tree where they left it and
rushed on with their harness flapping.
On arriving at the church they run under
the church sheds and stopped for repent-
ance, and here they were recovered,
unhurt. The wagon was somewhat dam-
aged.
Mr. Edgar Scribner, the blacksmith, a

afternoon.

“There is to be some important move—
ments in real estate not a hundred miles
from the post office between now and
July 1," says the Westporter. Yes, it has

real estate in the form of loam and gravel
last week on the line of the horse railway.
At a regular meeting of the Historical

is made of Ebenezer Jessup, one of the
most astute financiers of his time, and
Hon. Samuel B. Sherwood, member of
Congress from this district, as the founders
of the village of Saugatuck, known as
Westporl since 1835.
Friday morninga telegram from Miss
Justine Ingersoll informing the G. A. R.
committee of her illness and inability to
be in attendance at the entertainment set
for that evening, was received. A fine
programme, with Miss Ingersoll down for
four numbers, had been prepared and
many reserved seats sold. The entertain-
mcnt will be given in National Hall this
(Wednesday) evening.
It is said that E. H. Nash, who bought
the old Christ church edifice and real
estate, had no legal right to obstruct pas-
sage across thc latter, as he has done by
building a heavy stone wall, as the public,
during more than fifty years’ free use
thereof, have become the undisputed pos-
sessors of such right. and if they tear
the fence down to establish the same, Mr.
Nash could not recover damages in court.
The G. A. R. post have appointed E.
M. Lees and L. R. McDonough a commit-
fee to decorate with flowers the vault in
the old cemetery within which repose the
remains of a soldier of renown—General
Henry M. Judah, a graduate of West
Point, who fought in the Mexican war
and served through the war of the rebel-
lion, taking part in the capture of the
guerilla Morgan. He died in 1866, and
could have had a military funeral, but
preferred the humbler burial among his
kindred here.
The Board of Trade held a very lively
meeting at their rooms Thursday evening,
but very little was said about the Shepaug
extension through the village. The en-
gineers who began surveying the line
from Redding Ridge to Hawleyville three
or more Weeks ago have not been heard
from, andjsome express the belief that the
bottom has fallen out. Even the agent of
the syndicate, a village resident who Wits
so enthusiastic at the inception of the
proposed scheme, took pains to be absent,
afterwards explaining that he had too
much other business on hand to favor the
Board with his presence. Messrs. F. M.
Raymond, Theodore E. King and W. H.
Marvin were jappointcd a committee to
call the attention of Moses Sherwood, as
superintendent of highways, to the bad
condition of certain roads, and request
the contractor, C. P. Chapman, to make
the necessary repairs. It was voted to
purchase 13 additional lamps. This will
probably be amended at the next meeting
and an order for 25 lamps be issued.

Q.————-—
It is a fact that newspaper readers do
not slight the advertisements. They have
come to realize that the advertisements in
a newspaper represent the oods which
the merchants have for sa 0, and they
take pains to familiarize themselves With
what storekcepers have to offer. More-
over, the constituency of a paper are very
apt to be governed by what they read m
their own paper. If the paper is accepted
in its political, moral and intellectual tone,
as our home paper, its advertisers share
the respect and confidence bestowed upon
the paper itself. This is an important fact
for advertisers to remember; at the same
time it calls for the exercise on the part of
the newspaper publishers of great care in
the admission of advertisements.-—- Water—-
