The fat men and lean men of the bor- ough will play base ball on the fair grounds in a few days. The umpire will stick to his post “through thick and thin.” The Pioneer hook and ladder base ball team have received a challenge to cross bats with the Harry Howards of Port- chcster and will accept. The date for the game has not yet been named. The printers’ base ball game which was to have been played today, is post poncd on account of the game between the Wall streets and the Main streets, which takes place this afternoon. . During Saturday’s storm, 0 Norwalk dry goods merchant who had a couple of ladies’ waterproof gossamcrs filianging in front of his store; :was heard to tell a clerk to “bring in those waterproofs before they get wet through.” These free traders who are always howling “Down with the surplus!” are now howling because Pension Commis- sioner Tanner is reducing the obnoxious surplus in a most laudable way. For various reasons this treading on Tanner’s corns is a futile exercise. Isaac Bromley, Jr., advertising agent of the Consolidated road, has collected a large number of the press opinions on the parallel road and issued them in a large and interesting pamphlet.

At last the unsightly scaffolding at the Main street corner has been removed and the work of putting in ihclargc plate glass windows in the choppcdbff corner is under way.

A man’s hand was found on a truck under one of the cars on the cast-bound Adams Express train at Springfield early Sunday. It doubtless belonged to Frank W. Lewis, of Stratford, who was run over and killed by u west-bound express in East Bridgeport Saturday night. The probability is that the cast-bound train was passing at the time and the hand was thrown against the truck and jammed into the position where it was found. Weary of lying about their respective cir- culations, the New York newspapers are now trying to outbuild one another. There is something tangible about a large and imposing building, which does not permit of the snccrs of an incredulous public as do the circulation affidavits, no matter how heavily it may be mortgaged. Brother Shepard, not content with showing in his own peculiar way thut_a newspaper man can at least try to dis: scminatc the principles of Christianity, has been writing a magazine article under the caption: “Can a Newspaper Man he a Christian ‘9” So long as his paper con- tinues to publish tips on horse races the colonel will have hard work to prove that he has demonstrator] that the question can be truthfully answcrcd in the affirm- ativc.— Waterbury American.

M. C. A. Festival, Friday, June 7th. . According to the Hartford Times a missionary among the Mormons lately telegraphed a couple who were celebrat- ing their golden wedding: “It is better to live with one wife fifty years than with fifty wives one year.” Well, a missionary to the Mormons ought to be good author- ity on the interesting point involved, and all level-headed people will agree with him. To the shame of a celebrated Eng- lish wit be it said that he held contrari- wise. He once advanced the atrocious opinion that a wife of forty ought to be likcnbank note of forty pounds—“ex- changeable for two of twenty.” —Mcssrs. George W. Romaine & 00.,60 Broadway, N.

A [man went into the office of Town Clerk Tucker, in Ansonia, a day or two since, and, waiting until a man in ad— vance of him had secured a dog license, said, “I want a license.” The town clerk proceeded to fill out another dog license blank, and got along all right until he asked, “What breed ?” when the man looked at him with wide-opened eyes and gasped, “What breed ?” “Yes,” repeated the clerk, ”what breed is your dog ?” An explosion followed and finally the man managed to explain that it was a marriage license wanted, and he did not know what bread his proposed wife was. The mistake was at once rectified and the man made happy, but the ofiice force have not yet done laughing about the breed. Captain Frost’s oration on Memorial Day was interesting by reason of its being devoted almost entirely to a rccountal of the services and sacrifices of Norwalk’s own volunteer soldiers, and its refreshing freedom from the affectation and “spread- eagle” so common to addresses of national holidays. Especially apt and felicitous was the orator’s allusion to the sleep of younglfiJamcs Lawrence Allen “beneath that low green tent,” the beautiful senti- ment being from Whitticr'sjgraud poem, ”Snow-bound,” the original text being: “0 heart sore-tried l thou bust the best That heaven itself could give thee—rest, Rost't‘rom all bitter thoughts and things i How many a poor one’s blessings went With thoo beneath the low green tout Whose curtain never outward swings.” The story that has been going the rounds of the press to the effect that Bishop Williams was soon to appoint an assistant bishop for this diocese, and naminga local clergyman as the man to be appointed, has no foundation in fact. In the first place, the bishop is in good health and has signified no desire of having an assistant; and in the second place, he has no power to appoint one even did he desire such an assistant. The office of bishop is an elec- tive one, as any one conversant with the affairs of the Episcopal church knows. Did the bishop desire an assistant, it would be the business of the diocesan conven- tion, which meets June 11 and 12, to elect the ofilccr. But it is not at all prob- able that the convention will clect any such officer. ' ’ A peculiar divorce case has come to light in New Haven, in which the plaintiff claims to have known nothing about the matter until long after he had been granted the divorce. A few days ago MariaRiccitello sued Pasquale Ferrucio to compel him to support his wife and her child. It was alleged that Maria was a single woman, but Ferrucio’s counsel learned that she had been divorced. Be— fore J usticc Chopin, Maria swore that she had given Paul Russo, an Italian inter- preter, $55 to procure her a divorce. The decree was granted to her husband on statutory grounds on January 11th, by Judge Andrews. Riccitcllo new states that he never knew that he was the plain— tiff in the divercc case. He was induced to go to court by Russo, who interpreted his story to the court, The nominal plaintiff is much surprised to hear that he has got a divorce. ' The effort to return to annual sessions of the legislature has taken shape and will, perhaps, result in giving us an an- nual railroad fight, an annual lobby, an- nual salaries to annual members, and just twice the present chance to the average politician from “way back” to get to the capitol and enjoy his whack at the mort— gage liftcrs. If the present is to be taken as a fair criterion of the depth and dura- tion of all biennial sessions, and we are to have nine-tenths of the time consumed in the combats of corporations through their embattled hosts, in the lobby and out, it might be well to make the present legisla- ture permanent and let it run indefinitely. Like the railroad management which pro- fers the conductor who has his diamond pin, fast horse, new house and other “fixings," rather than the man who has all these things yet “to get,”,the state might make a good thing by continuing in office men reasonably acquainted with the ways and means of legislation and whose experience was not still to be ac- quired—Bridgeport Standard. It is comforting to know that the New. town Bee publishes matter worth stealing, but, at the same time, it is more gratifying to see proper credit given as is so honor. ahi done by the Danbury News. Wonder if cighbor Bailey couldn‘t be hired to lecture on “Newspaper Morals,” or the “Terrible Hereafter of the Paste-pot and Shears,” in Bridgeport. A recent Bea buzzing furnished the meat of an editorial article in the New Haven Palladium and went around the papers of the state credited to that paper, while another followed it after being fiichcd to make a special dispatch to the New York Times. —-Ncwtown Bee. Neighbor Smith should not mind such little things. The GAZETTE also has some queer cxpericncciu that line. Only last week a certain paper in this county stole a couple of the GAZETTE’S items and pub. lished them as original matter, and also clipped and credited to the GAZETTE an item which the GAZETTE itself had hor- rowed from another paper. The Waterbury American remarks: Coroner Burke has been unable to learn, from the authorities at Canaan, anything concerning the friends of Henry 0.

Dc- ceased is said to have a married sister living in Cannon, but her present name is unknown here, and no satisfactory in- formation concerning either Muson or his married sister could be given by the Canaan people. , It has been stated that the author of “Prepare for eternity,” “Repcnt or go to hell,” and many other inscriptions on rocks and fences by the roadside, was ground to death under the wheels of an Erie railway train near Orrvillc, Wayne county, New York, a few days ago. This statement has since been contradicted, the eccentric man having been seen doing his work in this state. He is of German de- scent. On his travels he carries a paint pot ands kit of tools used in repairing tinwnrc. His name is unknown. The appalling disaster by flood and fire in Jolmstcwn and vicinity, Pa., the details of which are filling the metropolitan papers, and by which over 8,000 lives were lost and untold millions of dollars worth of property was destroyed. has appealed to the liberality of the entire country and contributions of money are being raised in all sections for the relief of the suffer— ing survivors. Governors of states and mayors of citicshaveissucd proclamations calling upon the people for aid in this most worthy cause and the responses are, as might be expected of the American people, liberal and hearty. A citizens’ meeting is called here in the borough for the purpose of ruisinga relief fund, which is being held this (Tuesday) evening as tho GAZETTE goes to press, and there is no reason to doubt that the result will be a generous offering of money. Norwalk will not be behind her sister towns in contributing to the alleviation of those dirciy distressed fellow beings. This week and next will be the two banner weeks with W. B. Hall & Co., the dry goods men of Bridgeport, who have again been fortunate in the purchase of an importcr’s stock of laces, silks, kid gloves and ladies’ cotton underwear and propose to hold a special sale commencing this week on Thursday. In order to make the sale very interesting they have marked all of their short lengths of trimming silks and fine dress goods at less than half price. We copy from a Bridgeport paper of Saturday, June 1: W. B. Hall its 00., having had their buyers in the various markets during the past week, will, on Monday, offer special- ties in their silk, sateen, wool goods, lace and curtain sections. In the cotton un- derwear and corset departments really fabulous offerings will be made, in conse- quence of an entire manufacturer’s stock having fallen into their hands. These goods are of a high grade and include the articles usually kept in a first-class stock. The firm request shoppers to visit them as much as possible in the mornin to avoid the crowd of the afternoon. urchasers of parasols, hosiery, Chantilla laces and Nottingham laces, will find something of interest to them by calling on W. B. Hall & Co. The absence of the fire department from the Memorial Day parade caused consid- erable comment. All the companies were invited to participate and all declined the invitation. The G. A. R. men consider the refusal of the firemen to parade as a slight which will by no means result to the credit or profit of the fire department. Said 0 member of the,G. A. R.conimittee the next dayz—“We have a very pretty little monument, and naturally desired to un- veil it with exercises and a parade as interesting as possible, and it would seem that the least the firemen could have done would be to turn out with us, but they saw fit to refuse and their action is not particularly to their credit, nor will it prove a profitable thing for them in the end. They are always prompt to call on the public for support whenever they have any undertaking in the way of en tertaiumcnt on their hands, but they will find, when next thevvask, that the Grand Army men will hardly be as ready or as liberal in their responses.” The firemen, however, ofi'cr as an explanation of their refusal, the fact that when a few years ago they marched with their fire apparatus to the cemetery in a Memorial Day parade, they were ordered to leave their machin- ery outside the cemetery grounds while the other bodies in the column marched in with all their accoutrements, and they resolved then that where their apparatus could not go,they themselves would not go, hencetheir declination this year. A visitor at the Bridgeport jail Tuesday witnessed a sight which he says he will never forget. In the cell next to that occupied by Sebcelc, the New Canaan murderer, propped up on the bed was a prisoner, who, the day previous, had at- tempted suicide by butting his head against the brick -wull of his cell. The visitor thought it might have been better for the poor prisoner had he succeeded in accomplishing his purpose. The man’s head was swollen to fully twice its nat- ural proportions and the face bore no sem- blance to that of a human being. Huge lumps projected from all parts of the face and the poor fellow’s eyes could hardly be discernible, sunken as they were in the swollen and discolored ficsh about them. The skin had been almost entirely remov- cd from the face and the head resembled a large piece of..becf' like that displayed in a butcher market. Another prisoner told the visitor that the injured man had been very violent for the past week and from his actions all of the other inmates believed that he would commit suicide at the first favorable opportunity. Being unable to secure any weapon to use upon himself, he at last decided to resort to butting his head against the Walls. The thumps were heard plainly by the other prisoners, until he fainted from the pain. He was picked up some time afterwards by the hallmau, weltering‘ in a pool of blood. Medical assistance was summoned and the wounded man’s injuries were pronounced not necessarily fatal, although it is thought that he may be week then- tally during the rest of his life. Here is something for those 'of our readers who wish to give a novel enter- tainment. It was recently tried in Wash- ington with great success. A woman issued her invitations, writing on them, “Please bring alcnron.” Every one was mystified at this strange request, which aroused their curiosity so much that they all attended, each with a lemon. The hostess met them in a dress of black lace and lemon colored satin and carrying a bouquet of yellow roses. After greeting each guest she requested them to “go to the dining room to register." The dining room decorations. were all yellow, . the tables decorated with ferns and yellow roses. At a side table set the squeezing committee, pwho registered the names and tied a ribbon,'which was easily dis- tinguished, on :each lemon.l After the guests were all assembled they were once more invited to the dining room to see the “squeezing committee” count the seeds. Each lemon was cut open and the seeds being counted, were registered opposite each name, and then placed in a beautiful glass bbwl. The lemons were then squeezed into an immense punch bowl, after which a tea was served, at which every article of food had lemon in it. There were lemon ices, lemon cream, lemon cake, lemon jelly, and everything one could imagine. After tea the glass bowl was placed on the table, and each guest was given a chance to guess on the number of seeds. Two prizes, 0 grand and booby were given. The grand prize was the beautiful glass bowl, and the booby prize a wooden squeezcr. A prize was then awarded to the one who had the most seeds in her lemon, and the one with the lowest number,and soon after the party retired after an evening of lemon enjoyment. young ladies who were represented as flirting with Col. Roberts’ cadets, are in— dignant at the scurrilous slur. It’s all well enough to get a joke on the men, but when it comes to such fiings at young ladies of eminent respectability and high social standing, it is small business.” The society columns of the same issue also contained along string of items that had appearcd~in tho GAZETTE and, other local papers months before. But such is the “enterprise” of metropolitan journalism.

The secretary's report shows additions to the library and collections of the society of 169 volumes, 341 pamphlets and 41 miscellaneous articles, such as pictures, manuscripts and other things of value. Two members of the society died during the year and there were 25 admis- sions to the membership.

As soon as their pastor, the Rev. Mr. Fetlock, returns from his vacation steps will be taken to decide on some one of the plans, and an elegant and costly‘ stone church building will be begun: It will cost about $100,000. Four small boys, two Italian and two colored, were tried in the borough court for an attempted assault on alittle girl about 7 years old. The judge reserved his decision in the case until Friday. The two colored boys are sons of Edward Brown, bill poster, aged about 10 and 14, and the Italians are boot-blacks aged about 12 and 14. Three of the boys are out on bail, one of the boot-blacks still being in the lockup. The boys will prob- ably be sent to the reform school. The New York Press of last Sunday contained a yarn from Norwalk purporting to be an account of the annual cruise of a local ladics’ canoe club.

He then tele- graphed to the operator at Huwleyville to notify the conductor of the down train to look out for orders at Stcpney ’ where the trains were to pass. The conductor, Cur- tis, said nothing to the engineer about looking out for orders at Stcpney, although both the conduetor, who was riding on the engine, and the engineer both testified that there was no signal to stop at the Stepncy depot, and consequently no stop was made there, the conductor asserting at the inquest that he did not consider the verbal order to “look out for orders" of any consequence. It further appears that the order sent to Stepney to hold the down train for the up train to pass, was not re— ceived until the down train had passed the station and too late to prevent the disaster, the operator, who, by the way, claims not to have heard the train pass, putting out the signal lantern after the train had gone by.
