The 100th year of Metllodism in New

The cutting off of the corner of the
Hubbell building not only gives a much
needed relief to pedestrians who have oc—
casion to turn from Wall up Main street, -
bllt it has as well, very greatly improved

upper story windows in plate glass are so,
decidedly attractive that tenants and
owners alike must feel a sense of gratitude
to the public necessity that caused the im-
provemcnt.
The New Milford Gazette mentions the
possibility of a branch railroad from the
Silepaug to Lake Waramaug. It says that
Mr. G. D. Chapman, supposed to own the
controlling interest in the read, recently
visited the lake with a party, and that
“the opinion" was that they were there on-
railroad business. It goes on to recall the
former proposal of a branch to the lake
from the Housatonic road and suggests
.that this may be worth consideration now.
Sa‘m. Arnold, conductor of the; main
Housatonic railroad, who has been “pilot-
ing" Conductor Comstock on the new
lightning express trains, tells a story of a
slow going railroad of which he was re:
minded by the Shepaug train at Hawleyg
ville. A gentleman on board a passenger
train on the railroad in question became
impatient at the snail-like speed at which
it—travcled, and kept up a continual fire
of sarcasm and fault finding, whereupon
the conductor, after listening to the tirade
for some time, said to the impatient pas-
senger, “You are the worst kicker I ever
heard, and I’ve been on this train for the
past ten years." “The hell you have i"
ejaculated the passenger with interested
animation, “where did you get on r"
The story of the railroadcd railroad bill
does not improve as it lengthens. It
seems it was, Senator Coffin who intro-
duced it by request. It was new business,
but it was admitted. Finding next day
what a tremendously arbitrary bill it was,
he asked consent to offer another giving
the right to appeal under this bill. But
then things were different. The bill had
passed and his request was refused, as
new business was no longer wanted. The
bill gives the railroad commissioners pow-
cr withoutappcal to order any changes
they choose and put the expense wherever
they please. It is one of those dangerous
general laws framed to hit a special case '
(in Bridgeport) and it is likely that Gov-
ernor Bulkeley will give it a pocket veto. '
The Sabin divorce case, is one of those
deplorable domestic events that all to fre-
quentlysadden and disgrace our American
home life. Opinion seems about equ ally
Senator’s action. There is a local interest
in the matter from the fact that the par-
ties were married and lived until recently
In Wash
ington, Mrs. S. was‘one of the brightest,
and most popular of the social lights dur -
ing her husbands’ Senatorial career, and
neither there nor in Stillwater, Minn-., did
her most intimate friends ever have a
suspicion of the unfortunate appetite
charged by the husband. That able. and
thoroughly candid and honest Washington
correspondent, Gen. H. V. Boynton,‘
scouts tho'rcason given as being the. true
one, and his statement of well known
facts in regard to the lady’s unblemished
character, only deepens the mystery sun-r
rounding the case. , .
Only a chronically gnawing hunger
could prompt the criticism indulged in by
the New Haven Morning News upon the
conduct of the newspaper men who were
in this city on the Fourth of July last. The
News beratcs them because only about a
dozen went to Long Beach to partake of
the elaborate dinner which awaited them .
there. But what would the hungry News
have? All elaborate lunch at newspaper
headquarters awaited each journalist; and
most of them also partook of i the
bounteons hospitality of the Seaside Club.
After they had “got away" with two ,such
spreads, was it natural that they should
desire to go to Long Beach and partake of '
a third dinner, all in the space of a; few .
hours t It is not in nature or reason to do
anything of the kind, and besides there .
were a good many things going (in in
Bridgeport that day outside of feeding.
The starved man imagines that he can out
ilp all the food in the world, and. this
f amished condition, and its attendant hal«
lucination, is what appears to be the mat-
for with the carping News writer. Had he ,
earlier made known his wants we can as-
sure him that his necessitics would have
been relieved by those brethren of the
press whom he deridcs. Hailghty pride
and a gnawing stomach, according to an

14th inst., at 10 o’clock.
They consisted of compositions, recite.
by giving of reach prizes in the shape of
books, and gymnastics.
The large room was filled with the
friends of both teachers and pupils. The
scholars acquitted themselves most cred-
itably, several of them winning well

Among these were Miss May Hallcnbeck,
whose composition on “A School Girl's

upils who led their respective classes.
hey were Miss Annie Cole, . of Norwalk,
Conn., who has been a pupil of Mrs. Bir-

Miss Rose McDonongh, and Master Dwight
Sherwood. Although the day was quite
warm, the pupils bravely entered upon
the gymnastic exercises with dumb-bells
and wands, closing with a grand march.
Among those present we noted Dr.

offered the opening prayer. Altogether
the exercises were very pleasant. and-the
audience broke up with many expressions
of good will for the future of the new

William H. Stevenson, president of the

made a thorough investigation into _ the
_rcport that his company had been mixed
.up in the cheating of the Italians whohad
worked on the extension, and found that
it was utterly without foundation. So
far as Sargent, the roadinaster, was con-
cerned, president Stevenson knows noth-

He has suspended him pending:the inves-

might happen. He was told by one of the
party that the fellow who asked for lodg-

misused Mr. Cronk’s 8 year-old daughter.
The father and daughter were so angry
that they started in hot pursuit of the.

” The sad drowning accident in South
Norwalk, Saturday night is thus reported
in the Sentinel.- :" ‘ , ,
Edward Fisher,"James Daugherty and
Hugh Marion‘vlilited several saloons and
from what can be learned they were un-
der the influence of liquor. At 10.30
o’clock the party decided to start for
home in the bordugh. . They had a skiff
at the old Danbury & Norwalk railroad
dock, and going there they proceeded to
enter the boat. " Marion and Fisher got
5in the boat the latter being in the stern.
Suddenly the boat tipped one side and
Fisher was precipitate into the water.
His companions did what they could to
save him but their efforts proved futile.
When Fisher‘cime 'to the surface the
third time an oar, was thrown him but
he failed to catch it. He exclaimed: “I am
one.” and then sank for the last time.
ougherty and Marion immediately noti-
fied Captain Col ove, who, with sev-
eral men, went n search of the body.
They searched along the shore until after
12 o'clock but were unsuccessful in find-
ing the body. Finally two boats were
procured and the river in the vicinity
of the accident was dragged. At 4
o'clock in the morning the body was
found near the channel. It was taken to
the rooms of undertaker Gregory and
later in the day % as removed to the home
of Mr. Fisher’s 'ly near the Danbury
0; Norwalk R. R. track in the borough.
Mr. Fisher has been employed of late by
C. 0, Stevens. He‘was industrious but
addicted to drink, which habit no doubt
resulted in his death. He leaves a wife
and fivegchildren who, it is said, are in
straitened circumstances. Contributions
are being solicited for their assistance.

satisfactory results was seen by a reporter
at the factory this morning. A in c
addition has just been built to the War 3
and one of the hief features is the mam-
moth oil furu e, which easily melts
10,000 unds of metal in an hour and a
half. his furnace is the result of a com-
bination of schemes which Mr. Keyes' has
put together, adding a number of ideas
of his owu, emitting a furnace, a dupli—
cate of which cannot be found in the
country. . It is built of brick and is bound
with railroad iron. By a simple but in—
genious process oil is fed into the furnace
through a small IPipe from a tank in the
corner of the bu' drug. The oil drops
into small pans at the top of the furnace,
which are provided with overflow pans
and every possible precaution taken
against explosion. These small pans of
oil are lighted. A draft of cold air- draws
the flame, but not the oil, down a short
flue, filling the space occupied by the
metal with a, seething mass of flaming gas.
The metal when melted flows out of a
trough into basins prepared for it. The
nearest approach to this process is seen in
Pennsylvania, where natural gas is used.
