The Rev. Col. Edward Anderson, late
of Norwalk, now of Danielsonville, lec-
tured for the benefit of a G. A. R. Post
at Somerville, on Wednesday evening last,
and his discourse is highly spoken of by
the local press, which were captivated by
his eloquence, wit and aptitude as a story
teller.
Says the New Haven Palladium :—Sam-
uel G. Pect has sold his saloon on the cor-
ner of George and Meadow streets to
William Welcli. Mr. Peet is known as the
Grover Cleveland of the Fourth ward.
Until about a year ago he was an engineer
on the Consolidated road. He will go back
to the footboard, but will run a Housatonic
road locomotive.
It is said of Rev; C. G. Adams, of South-
port; Conn., who is a very busy man, that
he is possessed of a brilliant mind and
often does not know what he is to preach
upon when he enters the chancel Sunday
morning. During the preliminary singing
he takes a Bible and picks out a verse,
from which and without further prepara-
tion lie preaches an effective discourse.
The first election under the new secret
ballot law, held in Danbury, Monday, was
a victory for the republicans.‘:The elec-
tion was for half the members of the com-
mon council. Two ‘aldermen and three
councilmen were elected in each ward,
and the republicans carried three out of
the four wards. Last year the democrats
got three out of the four. The result of
the election is a tie in the common counv
oil, with the mayor democratic.
The fire alarm was rung at about half
past twelve o’clock Sunday morning, and
a few of the firemen who happened to
be up or who happened to hear the alarm,
wandered about town in search of a fire,
the alarm being described as faint and un-
certain. It turned out that the. chimney
of a house just above Raymond’s furni-
turc store on Main "street had caught fire,
but it required no work of the fire appar-
atpgjyfiefijnguish it. The damage was
trifling.
Mrs. O. E. Wilson has been exercising
her refined, artistic taste in the renovation
of her new West avenue residence, and,
with the aid of the skilled painter, paper
hanger, upholsterer and decorator, has
transformed the interior of her new home
to a perfect bower of beauty. Her liege,
the immortal “Grover.” has cleared up and
cut up and cleaned up the spacious grounds
so as to make it one of the most attractive
places on our “swell” avenue.

Mr. Patrick Chine, yearning to see his
children in America, braved three thous-
and miles of ocean and came unannounced
to Norwalk and gave them a genuine
surprise. He stayed here just ten days
and then sailed back another thousand
leagues to old “Erin the blest,” the land
of his birth, leaving joy behind in the
hearts of his dear children and bearing
home with him his own soul brinifull of
happiness.
The “Lancasterian school boys,” whose
old instructor was John E. Lovell of
Waterbury, celebrated his 95th birthday
Thursday evening with a dinner at New.
Haven. There were about 150 present,
including men now prominent from all
over the state; and there are 2,100 now
living who gained their early education
from Mr. Lovell. The veternuhchoolmns-
ter showed a surprising vigor and made a
brief address. Selectman Daskam was
one of the attendants to the feast in honor
of his old and honored preceptor.
Col. W. H. Stevenson has decrdcd not
to accept that $20000 job as manager of “a
western i'ailrom .” He will remain in
Connecticut—not because this will be a
good year in which to run for Governor,
but because he has already grown up with
this part of the country.——Ifecord.
After all, without taking the political
climate or the social ties into considera-
tion, where would the common sense be
manifest in throwing up a $19,000 situa-
tion where uutninted moral ozone is, for
a $20,000 job where the wild and woolly
blizzard roams at large in all its terrifying
ferocity ?

All the indications point to the certainty
of a large and representative audience at
the Library entertainment to be given in
the Opera House on Friday evening, when
the dramatic association of the College of
the city of New York will present their
ingenious and amusing burlesque on
“Little Lord Fauntleroy,” besides an origi.
nal three act comedy entitled “Turned

Frank Ruscoe having thoroughly mas-
tered scientific bookkeeping, is now
wrestling with the rectangular perversities
of the bicycle. Mrs. Dr. Baldwin and
Miss Fanny Stanley are the latest converts
to the at times elusive'and delusive wheel.
The latter is learning to manage her sphere
very rapidly and rides with marked
carriage and grace. In Washington there
isaladies’ bicycle club numbering over
two~liundred. The Capital City, owing to
its smooth concretcd streets, is the para-
dise of bicyclers.
Arthur B. Underwood, :1 wide awake
youngjoui'nalist, who has for some years
been employed on the staff of the
Bridgeport Farmer, has withdrawn from
that paper, to accept a position on the
Standard. John A. J. Orr, a well known
traveling salesman, or “road agent” takes
Underwood’s place on the Farmer. Orr
isapopular fellow, and his long exper-
ience as a successful drummer must
certainly have qualified him with the
requisite degree of modesty and veneration
for truth and veracity, to become 8 suc-
cessful and brilliant Bridgeport reporter.
Stage realism has reached its limit. In
a Connecticut theatre the other night
Uncle Tom, of Cabin fame, turned on his
persecutors, and the curtain had to be
lowered before the combatants in the
“real life” rough and tumble fight could
be separated—N. Y. Herald.
The above refers to an episode that
transpired in South Norwalk last week
when Uncle Tom got full and objected to
being killed by the slave driver in Uncle
Tom’s Cabin. It was not only realistic
and exciting, but was an appreciable and
interesting innovation upon the old chest-
nut.
Rev. Dr. Van Alstyne tells a good story
we have not chanced to see in print on
his good brother, Bishop Goodsell.‘ While
traveling in a car in Texas a drunken
passenger greatly annoyed the other pass-
engers by his profanity and rowdyism, a
chum meanwhile vainly cndeavoring to
quiet him. Bishop Goodsell left his seat
and was passing down toward the inebri-
ate when the latter’s chum, eyeing his
collossal proportions, said: “Keep still
now and behave yourself. Here comes
John L. Sullivan, and if yer don’t he’ll
cbaw yer up.” ‘
T. A. Durant, of New Haven, is either
the boss liar or the boss fisherman of the
season, according to this from the Register :
“ [le landed Wednesday, near the bridge
over the West river, a brook trout that
did not let the scale pointer stop till it
stood at the notch which marked three
pounds and twelve ounces. The big
beauty measured twenty inches in length
and five inches in depth. The biggest
trout known to have been caught at this
point before weighed five pounds and
three ounces.” ‘
Is it not possible that the particular
liquid bait he used may have made him
see double ?
An exchange says the' latest swindle is
carried on by means of a double fountain
pen, one end of which is filled with good
substantial ink, the other with ink that
fades away in a day or two. The sharper
writes his agreement, contract, or what-
ever particular lay he may have chosen,
with the ink that fades, and his victim
sign with the other end of the pen in the
ink that lasts. In a few days he has a slip
of paper with nothing onit butagood
signature, over which he writes any sort
of a note that he can easiest turn into cash.
Look out for the fountain pen swindicr
for he is dangerous.
The Court of Bui‘gesses held an adjourn-
ed meeting on Tuesday evening last. at
which there were a number of petitions
discussed. For the grading of Stewart
avenue there were nine bids. lrving 11:111
was the lowest, $336.14. The highest bid
was $728.60. They voted that the water
should remain turned off from the public
tanks. School street sidewalks were re-
ferred to the highway committee. France
street is to, be renumbered. Burgesses
Coucli,Adanis and Meeker are to look
after the layout of East avenue; and
Adams, Couch and Sloan are to establish
a line for the proposed widening of Main
street near Cross street.
There has been considerable agitation
in Bethel of late, relative to the establish—
ment of a bank in town. At present the
big but manufacturers have to go to Dan—
bury to make their deposits and transact
all their banking‘business. The store-
keepers are put to considerable trouble,
and necessarilyrhold over large sums of
cash, which putsa premium on crime there.
Several Bethe! residents are connected
with Danbury banks, and it is said that
they could much‘ more advantageously be
connected with a monetary institution in
their Own town. It is thought that a bank.
would increase. trade as well sis-being a
safe depofltoij ’10! money.
The famous old Stratford Congrega-
tional church, the mother of churches, is
just now attracting disagreeable attention.
Samuel T. Houghton has resigned and
Thomas Fairchild has placed writs in the
hands of adetcctive. This is the result
of the following notices which was found
tacked on the church door :—“This church
will pay $100 for the corpses of Samuel T.
Houghton and Tom Fairchild.” Difl'er-
ences of opinion as to the manner of
raising money to wipe out the church
debt gave rise to the trouble.
An important meeting was held Friday
evening at the residence of M r. VanBuren
on West avenue, which was largely
attended by parties interested in the
formation of a new Episcopal church and
the erection of a chapel on the west side
of the borough. Reports were made of
the views of the Bishop and of the
encouraging prospects for the success of
the proposed enterprise. The opinion
seemed to prevail that the church, if
organized, would be of the modern
Reformed order, now so popular and
common in all parts of the country.
A church§sociablc was held at the resi-
dence of Lewis Gregory in West Norwalk,
Tuesday evening. The spacious house
was we ll filled with young and old, Nor~
walk sending quite a representation of
young people. The festivities were kept
up until 12 o’clock, and included dancing,
singing, instrumental music, games, 850.,
the finale being a game of copenhagen, in
the osculatory enjoyments of wluch all
were willingly “roped in.” A niCe sum
was netted for the chapel fund. It was
the second of azserics of sociablcs being
held for the enlargement of the fund. The
next one will be held one week from next
Tuesday, at the resuiencc of John G’
Fillow.
Company F minstrels went over to
Stamford on Wednesday evening to partici-
pate iii the entertainment gotten up by the
Stamford Banjo Club. The performance
was one of unusual merit, and of course
our, boys fulfilled their part of the pro-
gramme intlieir usual acceptable manner.
The home boys, too, (lid exceedingly well
and all the specialties were well received
by the audience. Nothing exceeded the
clever female impersonation of Mr. Charles
Cameron, whose bewitching ways, dccep- ,
tivc voice and perfect make-up made
many a young man’s heart beat high and
fast. The performance was a success in
every particular and is highly spoken of
by the local press.
Acouple of adventurous youths have
left their respective beds and boards and
eloped together. They are Will Loomis
of Spring Hill and Fred Walters of Mer—
win street, both about sixteen years of
age. They left town unbeknown to their
families, on Monday, and it is not posi-
tively known whether they intend to go
into the pirate business on the briny deep,
or embark in the lndian slaughtering in-
dustry in the boundless forests of the
wild and whooping West, but as they
took along Loomis’ big Newfoundland
dog. it is conjectured that they have gone
on the war path for scalps. The inevmri‘
ble sequel will probably follow their ad-
venture and they will come back without
scalps but with a keen appetite for fatted
calf.
Wright Huntington, who some years
ago attended Dr. Fitch’s school in Nor~
walk, and who is well known here as am
accomplished actor, and whose last ap-
pearance in Norwalk was with the Captain
Swift company, has just figured in a case
before the Jefferson Market police court,
in New York,in which Arthur Forrest, the
Captain Swift of the drama, appeared as.
plaintiff". It appears that Huntington
some time ago was manager ofa theatrical
company, in which Forrest waseniployed.
He was discharged after being accused of
insulting the'ladies of the company, and
promisui to beat Huntington every time
he met him. When they iuet in a Four-
teenth street car, Saturday, Huntington
struck Forrest twice eyer the head.
Forrest had Huntington arrested, but
friends patched up the trouble and JustiCc
White dismissed the case.
Governor Bulkeley has appointed Mr.
G. D. Winslow, of Hartford, to be dairy
commissioner, succeeding cx-Seniitor Jas.
B. Tatcm,'0f Putnam, who has held the
office since it- was created. Mr. Totem has
made an active commissioner, and under
his enforcing of the law the sale of “oleo”
has been largely restricted and the dairy
interest correspondingly advanced, for it
is a fact that, as the oleomargarine people
have been‘held to a closer regulation to
prevent selling their stuff as butter, the
creameries have increased through the
state. Mr. Tatem was appointed by Gov-
crnor Harrison in 1886, and reappointed
by Governor Lounsbury in-1888. He was a
member of the Senate in the year when the
bill passed creatingthe-ofiice. It has been
currently reported for some time that'Mr.
