In renewing his subscription to the

frequent contributer writes :—"I am

such an improvement that it must. add

The New York Tribune of Wednesday
had the following: “At a meeting of the
board of directors of the Portchester,
Ridgcfield and Danbury railway company,
a contract was made with a syndicate of
capitalists of New York “for the complete
construction of the road between Port-
chester and Danbury. Much of the work
of grading the roadbed and the building
of culverts has already been done, ata
cost or $250,000.”

On Wednesday morning, between 2 and
3 o’clock, a colored man named Balle’n-
tine, of Stamford, while walking on the
Consolidated railroad track, fell through
the bridge Over the Danbury &. Norwalk
railroad track. He lay on the track till
an up freight came along and took Of his

form above the ankle, and badly wounding

His‘cries were finally heard by
some of the neighbors who went to his
assistance. It was nearly seven o’clock
before he was conveyed to the depot,
having laid in the severe snow storm four
hours. He was taken to the hospital at
Bridgeport, where his leg was amputated.

his wife, from whose funeral Mr. and
Mrs. George Comstock were returning
when the terrible accident occurred on
the railroad crossing which killed Mr.
Comstock and nearly killed his wife, who
still lies in a precarious condition from
injuries received at the time. Mr. Dyke-
man was a well known and prominent
citizen of Wilton, and enjoyed the respect
of all his fellow townsmcn. He was at
the time of his death, and had been for
some years, selectman of the town, and
was frequently entrusted with the settle-
ment of estates He was a man of excel-
lent judgment, careful, deliberate and
conservative, and wielded a quiet but
potent influence in town affairs. Since
the death Of his wife he had been despond-
cut and melancholy, and had expressed
himself as being without any object that
made life worth living. He leaves a
comfortable property, but no children.

 

He was buried on Saturday afternoon.

Mr. Woodrow Wilson, a [graduate of
Princeton in the class 'of ’79, was elected
to the chair Of political economy and. jllo
risprudence in that college to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Prof,
Alexander Johnston. Mr. Wilson is the
author of the book entitled “The State”.
After his graduation from Princeton he
pursued graduate courses in this country
and abroad and is at present professor of
political economy at Wesleyan University.

The Bridgeport News says that John
Connors, a saloon keeper of that. city, will
bring suit against the Consolidated road
for substantially the following reasons:
Last Wednesday he was put off the train
1 rom New York at Cos Cob, and because
he thinks the conductor treated him in a
thoroughly unjustifiable manner, he will
institute a suit of damages against the
road. It is said that he has already placed
his case in the handsof Judge Lockwood.
Connors is reported to own about $15,000
worth of stock in the Consolidated road.

A pool match was played at the Union
House Saturday night last. The principals
in the contest were Frank Cronan, of this
town, and a party named Dibble, of Nor-
walk. The match was for $20 a side.
T wenty-one games were played, Cr'onan
winning the first eleven, and taking the
money. They arranged a second series
and this time Dibble beat Cronan the best
six out of eleven. He took the $5 as prize
money. Another series is to be played in
the near future by theseltwo med—Stam-

W. W. Moses, the Democratic post—
master of the fourth-class postoffice of
Lionville, Chester county, Pennsylvania,
has tendered his resignation, believing. as
he states in his letter to Mr. Wanamaker,
“that the best interests of a Republican
administration can be best served by Re-
publican servants;” believing also, no
doubt. that the First Assistant Postmaster
General is of the same belief, for he prob-
ably saw, or supposed he saw, the bland
and smiling face Of Decapitator Clarkson,
peering over the political fence and eyeing
him with a suspicious interest. Be this
as it may, this incident is another solemn
and portentous warning to our esteemed
friend Postmaster Golding to get in out Of
the blizzard, which soon or late, is sure to

overtake and depose him.

What the Tourist Sees.

Gurdon S. Coit is one Of the most p'Op-
ular conductors on the main line of the
Housatonic road, and his many friends
would regret exceedingly to see him dis-
charged. However, he is threatened with
that very lmmiliation by an individual in
Gt. Barrington, who promises to make it
hot for the conductor because the latter,
in pursuance of his duties, and in Obedi-
ence to the conductors’ bulletin board
whercon the Gt. Barrington individual is
blacklisted by the officials as a good man
to look out for, has insisted upon mak-
ing his man pay regular fare, regardless
of ingenious subterfugcs, false preten-
sions and indignant protests. The con-
ductor says the fellow has a mania for
evading the payment of fare, and has
resorted to the thinnest means of doing so
until he has succeeded in getting his name
in the black list. On one occasion be
secured possession of a press ticket from
a North Adams editor who had retired
from business, and passed himself off as a
newspaper man until his game was dis-
covered, and now that he is spotted by all
the conductors, and is made to “pay up,”
he adopts the tactics of the bulldozer and
threatens to reorganize things. The petty
trials and vexations, as well as the amus-
ing experiences that fall to the coudnctor’s
lot, are hardly appreciated by the average
passenger who fails to obserVe, as an
interesting and instructive study and pas.
time, the different phases of human nature
with which the conductor comes in con-
tact. A rcporter took a trip up the road
with Coit some days ago, and by keeping
his eyes and ears open, managed to get an
adequate idea of the fun Of running a well
patronized train, and his observations, if
written out in full, would fill two columns.
A drunken man gets aboard at New Mil-
ford and can’t find his ticket; conductor
goes through, and returns to the drunken
man just before reaching Merwlnsville;
by this time the ticket is. found, which
Shows that the befuddled passenger wants
to go to Brookfield and has taken the
wrong train. A lady asks the conductor
to open a window and another lady oppO-
site commands him to shut it. A fat and
pompous passenger finds fault with the
conductor because there is no drawing
room car on the train. A farmer and his
son come aboard and hand the conductor
four tickets; Coit promptly punches them
and asks who the'two extra ones are for;
Hayseed says, “them’s return tickets—
We’re comin’ back on this same train this
afternoon.” A drummer compares watches
with the conductor and tellshim the train
is a few minutes late; another compares
and insists that the train is just a little
ahead of time and the conductor passes on
and leaves the two to fight it out. Before
the trip is completed the conductor is
called upon to tell which is the best hotel
in Pittsfield, the amount of ice shipped
over the road in a day, whether the train
stops long enough in Great Barrington for
a fellow to get a cocktail, what the name
of the ever-changing Connecticut Western
road is this week, the price of tobacco in
New Milford, the prospect of sleighing in
Bridgeport, whether the road- is making
as much money as it used to, whether it
Will ever get a charter for a parallel, how

Patterson. And yet it is a kind of a

 

WESTPORZ

It has been suggested, in view of the un
precedented success attending our board of
trade fair, that, as there Will probably be
no more fairs held by the Fairfield Co. Agri-
cultural Society, there be a fair held next
fall in our Land and Improvement Com-
pany’s building—a. fair for exhibition of
farm products and fancy articles after the
style of the late county fair-the belief be-
ing that it could be made to pay. It has
been suggested that with such a fair all the
neighboring towns could unite and make a
creditable show. The central location and
facilities for getting to and from the place,
the building, with its three great floors, is
just the one for carrying out such a scheme.
Of course there could be no horse racing,
but everybody would have a good time and
that is the principal thing with a fair.

The questiOn of. what to do with the
money recently raised by our fair is engross-
ing the minds of those prominent in the
board of trade, and doubtless to-morrow
night’s meeting will call forth some sug-

gestions. There are those who favor taking ‘

say $500 or $600 of the total and putting it
into the hands of committees in the ten
Schooldistricts On the basis of their respec-
tive enumerations with instructions for them
to make such use of it in the districts as
may seem best and proper. As everybody
in town contributed to the fund it is claimed
everybody, in this Way, would get a little of
the benefit. and no locality would receive a
greater share than any other.

Thursday, March 20th, was a day mem-
orable in the history of the M. E. church.
Services were held in the morning, after-
noon and evening. The incident at the
second service was the burning of a note
representing the church indebtedness, every
dollar of» which had been paid. There
were present the pastor, Rev. H. 8. Still,
through Whose endeavors, the spendid Work
had been accomplished; Right Rev.Bishop
Andrews, who preached a sermon from the
story of the mustard seed; Presiding Elder
Cheney, Rev. C. M. Pegg, Rev. David
Nash, Rev. Mr. North, Rev. Mr. Relyea,
Rev. Mr. Tllman and 'Rev. Mr. Backus.
Rev. C. C. Ferguson, of Memorial church,
and the rector of Christ church were" also
present.- The note was for $1,900 and was
the last of several held against the church.
It bore the names of 124 church members,
or friends of the church, all of whom are
living save two. On a table in front of the
pulpit stood a fruit dish filled with sand and
a lighted wax taper in the centre, surround-
ed with evergreens and flowers. The note
was given a conspicuous place. At the
proper time Rev. Mr, Still told the story of
the struggles which the church had under—
gone during the years since the need of
incurring the burden had arisen, Of the
devotion of the people to its cause, the self
denial and‘painstaking with the constant
hope of seeing this day, of the kindness of
those outside of the church’s pale who had

"responded to their appeals, and finally tO

the consummation which they had come
together to witness. He then took the
paper. set it on fire from the taper and held
it aloft until consumed, the congregation in
the meantime singing “All Hail, etc.” A
prayer was said and Rev. David Nash
pronounced the benediction. “PAUL.”
