NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY. JULY 2:4, 1389, . 5 an Our Bridgeport Letter. Lester J. Bradley who is well known here, having been clerk on the steamer Rosedale for quite a number of years and later freight agent of the New Haven& Derby R. R., has been charged by the latter, with quite a serious offence, which he denies, but admits being in debt to the company for a small amount which he is anxious to settle. It is to be hOped by his friends that he will be exonerated. Since writing the above the sad news comes of his death by suicide. His wife tells a pathetic story of his mental anguish and suffering since he was arrested. It will be difficult to convince the people here who knew Mr. Bradley, that he has been dishonest, from the fact that a few days before his death he was not only anxious to make restitution for any shortage which might appear against him on the books of the Railroad Co., but sent them $400 to apply on his account. If the people would not be so, ready] to condemn but give a man time to vindicate himself, how much anxiety and misery might be avoid- cd. “Charity sufiereth long and is kind.” The Christian Endeavor meeting held in Philadelphia last week, was agrand success. Rev J. L. Hill of New York, in his report said in 1881 only one society was in existence, in 1889 there were 7670 societies with 500,000 members besides 37 societies in England snd 50 in foreign mission fields. There have been 15,672 young people admitted to the church through the influence of the Christian Endeavor society. Over 500 delegates from this state attended the convention, over 60 of them being from this city. Much credit is due to A. H. \Varner of the Bridgeport societies for the interest he manifested in behalf of the cause and arranging with the Railroad companies for the trausportatson to and from Phila- delphia. It is said that he saved the Con- necticut delegation over $1,000 in railroad fares, and they to show their appreciation have presented him with a handsome diamond Christian Endeavor badge. Mr. Warner has been an earnest worker in this cause. Dr. Edwin N. Nooney who is well known in Bridgeport and who for a num- ber of years was Medical Examiner 0f Stratford, died last Thursday at his resi- dence in that town from a complication of diseases. He was 40 years of age. The funeral was attenced Saturday afternoon from his late residence. Mr. Nooney was only ill four days and will be greatly missed by all who knew him as a friend and a physician. I had a friendly callfrom Judge Andrew Selleck last week. The Judge is thinking of movmg to Bridgeport, when he finds a suitable place for a residence. What would be your loss in this case would be our gain. Miss Lillie Kissam who has many friends in Norwalk, left Bridgeport on Wednesday last for a visit to her parents in Brooklyn. Before her return in Sep- tember she will visit in Trenton, N. J., and the sea shore. The following is taken from and insur— ance paper, the Review, which will no doubt be of interest to many of our read- ers: “The receivers of the Charter Oak Life Insurance Co., Messrs. Isaac N. Brooks of Torrington, and E. A. Stedman of Hartford, will apply to the courts in October for an order to declare the first dividend to the policy holders. The re- ceivers have $300,000 in bank deposits at present, and expect to realize from $50,- 000 to $75,000 more in the settlement of the company’s affairs. The claims against the company, aside from the policy hold- ers, will not exceed, by the present esti- mate. $25,000. The holders of policies have been waiting two years for a portion of the sum that belonged to them, and this will be good news to them. W. G. L. Bridgeport, July 22d 1889 ._——————-—-4. SO UTII-N OR IVALK. Mr. and Mrs. Dagger have returned from their bridal tour and are now at their new home in this city. A very happy event is to take place at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. James A. Brown, on Washington street on Wednes- day, when their daughter, Miss Brown, is to be married to Mr. Chasmar of New York. Editor Golden and John H. Ferris have gone to Richmond, Va, for a week’s vaca- tion. Look out for spicy communications from the late seat of war. Many citizens think they learned some— thing at the last city meeting, regarding parliamentry proceedings and the peculi- arities of the English language. Rev. Mr. Pegg of East Norwalk was announced to speak on the constitutional amendment, Friday evening last. As he had not promised to do so, he chose another subject upon which he Ispoke, :to the gratification of all present. Another third party meeting was held at Music Hall on Sunday. Those who listened to the orator of the day probably know his estimate of the “heighth, depth, length, breadth. circumference and diameter” of the liquor question. The Union Gospel Temperance Reform association held a large and spirited meet- ing on Sunday afternoon, the last they will hold in their present location. They are to remove today to the new G. A. R. hall on the bridge, and will open their rooms with an ice cream festival. ____————O..__.—— Every man has two parents, four grand- parents, eight great—grandparents, sixteen great-great-grandparents, thirty-two great. great—great grandparents, etc. Now, if We reckon twenty—five years to a generation, and carry on the above calculation to the time of. William the Conqueror of England, it will be found that each living person must have had at that time even the enor- mons number of 35,000,000 of ancestors.

Dr. L. T. Day was calledto repair damages. Mr. Silliman Fairchild has in his front yard the largest Hydaranga shrub in West- port. ‘ = In the absence of Rev. Mr. Backus, Rev. B. J. Relyea of Greens Farms is supplying the Congregational church pul- pit. He preached a sermon of character there Sunday. The M. E. church Sunday school will go to Parlor Rock, August 16th for a picnic. They will charter cars and start from Saugatuck. Howard Staples and a couple of friends from Bridgeport drew a siene at the mouth of the river one day last week and WIL TONI be a more popular summer resort. hither. Mr. F. S. Banks is completing a cosy little cottage which is the fourth one he has built this season. George Comstock is making his house more attractive by the addition of a por— tion the whole length of the house. The attractiveness of the interior Of the depot has been heightened by a fresh coat of paint. While waiting for a train Thursday, we met Deacon Ennis, one of the oldest and most substantial citizens of South Norwalk. He carried an old fashioned sickle and in answer to the question if he had been harvesting, replied that it had been his custom for many years to make a visit to the Witch cemetery once a year to cut the grass growing over the graves of hisre- He said it was a cherished pleas- ure of his to visit the graves of his com- When asked who would use the sickle when he was gone, ' lativdS- pflllODS in boyhood. besides many striped bass and blue fish of size, hauled in a shark which they report— ed to be over 10 feet long. It was a fish story of course. The fact from prixate sources warrant a six foot claim, and that is large enough to swallow a small 003’ in swimming without permission from his mamma. I Rev. H. I. Still preached in Milford Sunday, and Rev. J. M. Carroll Of that place preached in the M. E, 0111111311 here. Captain Francis Godfrey is applying a coat of pecular whitewash to his dwelling and says it is good to last six years. A well known young lady residing here has been selected by Mr. Edward H. Nash to suggest a title which shall be permanent if accepted, for his church-hotel. She’s going to do it. A veritable ghost, it is said has been perambulating the central portion of the town, but without much of a tremor or sensation. Mr. Edmund W. Taylor who is ill at his home on Wright street, shows indications of physical strength not seriously declin- ing, but mental weakness which alarms his friends. Miss Emma Cusick, organist of the Con- gregational church leaves on Thursday for three weeks vacation. Rev. Joseph Backus who is rusticating up the Hudson River above Rhinebeck, drove there with his wife in a carriage. They will return in a like manner. The Tribune Fresh Air Fund has brought to Cross Highway, a company of New York children who, :as usual every year at that point are made very happy. It is suggested for the benefit of Supt. Alexis Downes that, if for certain trains he would put on two cars, the over crow d- ing of passengers will not. compel him, as was the case last Saturday evening, to ride on the car bumper. The Board of Trade held a meeting Thursday evening for the first time in a 3 month. It was reported by a member ‘ of the subscription committee that $60,- 000 of the $100,000 asked by the syndi-_ cate to build the Saugatuck Valley road, through J. D. Chapman, had been secured, and that the prospects of securing the balance of $40,000 was good. The ques- tion of building a town house which shall include the various town ofiices, now pretty well scattered, was discussed. The town is paying something like $600 yearly for rents, and it was urged that by bor- rowing say $10,000 at four per cent, and putting up a building, a considerable sav- ing could be made and much better ser- vice be secured. To look after the matter Messrs. F. M. Raymond, E. M. Lees and W. E. Osborne were appointed a commit- tee. Suggestions as to the harbor im- provements were ofiered. The board it is hoped will stick to this subject which is all important as tending to secure our advancement as a town. Compo four corners is the most attrac- tive locality now in town. The Blackman place renovated, the Wright and Page homesteads shining, and the Alden man- sionbeginning to look as though somebody lived in it, are the causes producing this desirable effect. Camping on old Caukeen’s Island is now the craze. There are a good many worse, but no better summer place. Lorenzo Tuttle is reported as being quite ill. . In speaking of Miss Sophia V. Downes as a teacher of music, and Miss Esther R. Downes as ,a teacher of mathematics and the general branches, it is not necess- ary to recount the years through which they have faithfully and together prosecu- ted their important work. If they were successful at the outset, there is abundant evidence that they have not only main- tained but exceeded their record. The former is not only a preceptress but a piano performer of achievements, and the young lady fortunate enough to be taught by her will, (following her system as a good pupil should,) leave her hands capa- ble of interpreting the work of any master. No higher encomium thap this can be accorded. How best to make use of what she learns from books and how to be a lady has been the mission of the second, and the two, laboring for these objects have won the good Opinion of a community. A few days since the Misses Downes gave a matineesoiree musicale at their residence.. Many patrons and all the pupils of course, were present. The numbers of a viva voce programme embraced selections for one and two, pianos for two, four and eight hands, and several vocal selections, all of which were creditably rendered. A spread by caterer Petrie closed the event. Spoiled hay, rye and oats growing in the field since cradled, are among the aggravating conditions caused by too much rain and dampness of late. 1 ' Sunday morning a barn with large quantities of hay just put in, belonging to Miss Eliza Gorham was destroyed by fire. Loss fully 3600. Miss Gorham knew nothing of the disaster until it was over. Tuesday Mrs. E. M. Lees and her sisters, Misses S. V. and E. R.

NEWCANAAM Entries for the bicycle race are pouring in and the contest will be very lively and interesting. The handicap conditions put Ted Brounson in the rear at the start, but Ted don’t knowfihow to eat dust.

A jolly party filling an omnibus and wagonette, went to Roton Point last Thursday evening ; several danced and had a good time generally. gregational Society. Many Norwalk friends remembering their pleasant experience at the lawn party two summers ago, will not forget this date or occasion. particulars will be published next week. Ted Brounson, and his brother Carlton, returned from their yachting cruise last Saturday. Mrs. Boughton who is over ninety, and the oldest lady if. town, has been quite ill, but is recovering under Dr. Broun- son’s skillful treatment. Rev. M. M.

Contrary to first report no bones were broken. There is a rumor that the Congregation-» alists may sell their parsonage, which; adjoins the Episcopal Church, to that! Society. If the report should materialize Mr. Hopkins and family will have a new I parsonage built for them next to the Con-T gregational edifice which is beautifully. situated on the Green. i effected whereby the train leaving New hours and a half between trains in the; morning is not first class accommodation‘ for a place like New Canaan. course we did. 2 Some of our merchants complain at a new railroad order, by which they are forced to drive for their freight some: the Consolidated folks propose to build a freight house. The idea is for our mer- chants to learn the new way, so that when the house is erected they will know where to find it. Some of our religious societies caugh in the Fairfield County Bank assessment will lose what will amount to nearly a whole year’s work, if by a fair they had to pay it.
