LibbieDemmon is dangerously ill at the home of her mother, Mrs, Captain Dem-_ mon, on Butler street. Jesse Hopson is fiddling in the Cattskills with the Beethoven orchestra. They make good music, they do. The printers’ base ball team will play the Company F nine on the Fair Grounds on Saturday of next week. An increase of more than 3,000 popula- tion in ten years isn’t abad evidence of N orwalk’s progressive nature. One of the horses belonging to the horse railway company was overcome by the intense heat Monday afternoon. Editor Smith, of the Newtown Bee, fluttered into Norwalk on Monday, and made the Gazsrrn office a pleasant call. James K. Hyatt, formerly with Ambler do Sammis,:is now employed in the store of A. Dickerman d: 00., South Norwalk . The West Norwalk church affair is coming to the front again, and without any assistance from U. Grant Houston, B. S., too. A gay party of young people went on a moonlight sail down the harbor on the Medea Monday night, and a merry time is reported. The local Y. M. C. A. base ball team will play the Waterbury Y. M. C. A. team on the Baxter Grounds on the morning of July 4th. Mrs. John A. Camp, who was recently stricken with partial paralysis, is, we are happy to report, gaining rapidly and is now able to sit up.

Allen, of Norwalk, were among the graduates from the state Normal school, at New Britain, last week. _——-—— 7A farmer’s horse fell down near the Opera House yesterday afternoon,evident- ly from weakness. 'He was hitched up again immediately and driven ofi’. —An(lx'cw J. Tucker, of East Norwalk, was tried before Judge Knapp at South Norwalk yesterday afternoon for wife beating, and was fined $7 and costs. Company F will spend eight days in camp at Niantic. This will give the boys an opportunity to spend the Sabbath in devotional exercises on the tented field. Dr. George Bridges is severely ill. On Sunday night he suffered with hemor- rhages. He will be taken in a few days where he can get a change of air, probably in the mountain region. 'soon be placed in position in the belfry. Work on the extension to the south end ! of the James block on Water street is rapidly progressing. The foundation is completed, and brick—laying has com— menced. Robert Erwin, of St. Paul, Minn., for- merlya well known bright and shining journalistic light in New Milford and Danbury, is spending the summer in New Milford. Miss Ida Mosher is now an operator in the telephone central office. She is a pleasant voiced and obliging little “hello” lady, and will be well liked by the sub- scribers. To—morrow afternoon the marriage of Miss Nellie C. Wilcox, daughter of R. M. Wilcox, of South Norwalk. to Mr. George F. Tyrell, of Nashua, N. H., is announced to take place. There is a girl in New York who has a record of five feet four inches in the standing high jump. Her accomplish- ment must be handy when there is a mouse around. It will be wise for those of our readers who don’t want to “get left,” to peruse the time table of the Consolidated road, in another column, which shows a few changes this week. A lawn supper was held at the residence of Mrs.yFred Keyser at East Norwalk, yesterday afternoon and evening, thepro— coeds being for the purpose of _ shingling the roof of the chapel. The Con hecticut Normal Training School closed its first year in W illimantic, on Fri- day. An excellent progress has been made and prospects for the future are encourag- ing to a large degree. Blackfishing along the outside coast is good. Those who have tried their luck within a week have taken strings of from twenty to forty fish, some of them weigh- ing four pounds apiece. Says the Sentinel :—It is rumored that one of the teachers in the Franklin street school is to relinquish her position at the close of the present term, in order to fill another “engagement.” That ingenious patent adjustable awn— ing, invented by Charlie Whrd, is on exhibition at Sloan’s store, where it attracts considerable admiration from those who examine into its workings. It is quite widely believed that at Hill’s lumber yard could be found just the best kind of timber needed to make a sound Congressional platform and a 'lively can- vass in this district next November. Samuel G. Peet, for many years an en- gineer on the Consolidated road, has accepted a similar position on the Danbury and Norwalk division of the Housatonic system. He began work with the latter road last week. _ Says the exchange : W. M. Ayres. an eccentric individual, in South Norwalk, has issued tickets and proposes to sell his house and lot, grocery store, stock and fixtures by lottery, the drawing to take place October 1. —-The directors of the Norwalk and South Norwalk Electric Light Company have declared a quarterly dividend of two (2) per cent. on the capital stock of said company, payable on July 10th, 1890. Checks will be mailed. Edwin C. Prindle, of Roxbury, 82 years of age, a wealthy and respected farmer, committed suicide Saturday morning, by cutting an artery of the thigh. He had held many town oflices. 111 health was the cause of the suicide. The front of the post office has been newly and handsomely painted and has a cheery and welcoming appearance that will make Carmi G. Hubbell, whose nom-— ination as post master, goes to the Senate to—day, feel comfortable and at home. Henry Green and Albert Lewis went fishing below the islands on Monday, and caught two surf sharks, each: over five feet long, whichflthey towed up to the dock back of E. K. Lockwood’s, where they attracted considerable attention. “Bob” Ingersoll predicts that James G. Blaine will be the Republican candidate for president in 1892. As Bob doesn’t be- lieve in future punishment it must be presumed that he believes the “Plume Knight” will be triumphantly elected. J. B. Billings, of Bridgeport, formerly of the Morning News staff, has fallen heir to a large estate in Minnesota. We are glad this “falling heir” business befell Billings, and hope the thud jarred him so he will feel the effects of it all his life. Miss Julia A. Lockwood has presented to the Congregational church society a ponderous bell weighing "4,500 pounds. It is deposited near the Green and will Miss Lockwood presents it as a memorial to her mother. The big firemen’s parade in Port Chester is to be walked on the 16th of October if the Norwalk firemen can leave home on that day. If not—well, the parade will probably start just the same and make as good a showing as| possible under the Another lot of new and handsome faced type just received at the GAZETTE’S job rooms. Call or send for estimates on any kind of work. James Elder, who has charge of the moulding department of the Wheeler 1% Wilson shop, Bridgeport, sailed for Eng- land Saturday. He will visit Liverpool first and then goto ,his native place in Scotland. He expects to be gone about six months. A man named Gutt was arrested in New Haven the other day for evading the special internal tax law in his management of a cigar shop. The healthy and pros- perous condition of the Internal depart- ment will be seriously affected unless every Gutt does his duty. Meeker’s foundry was damaged to the amount of about $800 on Friday evening at quitting time, by fire which started in the cupola. It made a tremendously hot volume of black smoke: The loss is fully covered by insurance. Bridgeport Masons have just subscribed $10,000 toward the Masonic Temple assoc- iation’s capital stock in that city. The association is to erect a handsomebuilding for Masonic purposes. The Peet property on Broad street has been purchased as the site at a cost of $30,000. Another Norwalk catches a brother—in-law. Miss Lizzibcll Taylor, sister of Fred. A. Taylor, (“Fritz,”) is to be married this week to George Harris, of Danbury. All these new bridegrooms have just cause to be proud of their brothers—in-law. Andrew Bischoff, of Bridgeport, was arrested Sunday, charged with assault with intent to kill Henry Schread. Bischoff struck Schread on the head with a metal kettle and knocked him senseless. It is thought Schread will not live. The assailant was put under $2,000 bonds. newspaper man The trial of the proprietress and inmates of the Darien hopse of ill fame, on Friday, was attended by a large delegation of modest spectators hungry for dirty devel- opments. The madame was bound over to the court of common pleas under $175 bonds, and two girls under $100 each. Miss Grace Northrop, of Danbury, was the successful candidate for the World’s free trip to Europe for the most popular school teacher in Connecticut, and sails to-day to be absent nearly two months. Danbury wins every game she takes a hand in, from Fair-oh to beauty contests. The Housatonic railroad now run draw- ing room cars on the afternoon passenger train down,.Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and trains leaving Bridgeport, north the other three days. Chairs, 50 miles, 25 cents; over 50 miles, 50 cents. These rates do not apply to the limited express trains. Now that school is over there is a nat- ural feeling of apprehension among parents that the young folks will neglect all their studies and lose the benefit of the pro- gress they have made at school. But they won’t. They will go right on conjugating the verb “to love” without skipping a mood or tense. Ephraim Merritt is making a decided improvement in the appearance of his residence, corner of Chapel and Water streets, by the addition of a wide piazza on ths south and east ends of it. Since the place came into Mr. Merritt’s hands he has been untiring in improvements about the premises. The case of the Westchester man who shot another fellow some months ago for springing the. McGinty “joak” upon him has just been settled for $250. We wish we could inserta period after the figure “2” and say it was then correct.—— Water- bury American. Better yet to insert an additional cipher and make it a pension to the shooter. Edward B. Taylor, of South Norwalk, avoided a disagreeable lawsuit by marry- ing Miss Julia E. Sammie on Monday afternoon. Justice Knapp got the job and the fee just the same, the only differ— ence being that he pronounced the penalty “man and wife” instead of “seven dollars and costs.” —Carriages and harnesses of every de— scription, trunks, traveling bags, etc, at reduced rates, at W. E. Danu’s, No. 50 Wall street. tf17 There was a lively row on Knight street Wednesday evening, between 11 and 12 o’clock. A jealous husband and a man in the wrong house were the principal char. actors in the play. By some mishap the man in flight alighted in a chicken pen. Potted plants in tomato cans were nsedgs the weapons of warfare. There were no arrests, the parties aggrieved settling the dispute between themselves—Norwalk 001'. Bridgeport Post. L. Rinaldo and Frank Pucurio, two Italians, aged 31 and 15 years respectively, went. bathing three miles down the Housa- tonic rivcr at Birmingham, Saturday night. Neither of them was able to swim, and the boy got out beyond his depth. Rinaldo went to his aid and both were drowned. The body of Rinaldo was re covered Sunday, That of the boy has not circumstances. yet been found. fire while it lasted and sent up a dense : ‘ I A new $11,000 Methodist church was dedicated in Shelton, last Sunday. The pastor is Rev. A. A. Lathbury, a graduate of Oberlin college, Ohio, and at one time principal of the Cranberry Plains school. Mr. Lathbury married Mrs. Frank Wil- liamson, nee Miss Jennie Hyatt, of this town.- Honor, gentlemen, ought to be the first principle of gathering and publishing news of any kind—Hartford Post. True; and Honor should be one of the first essentials demanded by the “Asso- ciated” journals, of those to whom they give rcrfledcntials as their representatives Bursitis! it isn’t. Fakirs an the billmore acceptably, even to those journals which prate of Honorable Journalism. Says the Bridgeport News of yesterday : “Charles Fancher saved the lives of two Norwalk young men who were fishing off Black Rock yesterday afternoon. Their boat capsized, and one of them, F. Strat- ton, was going down the third time, when Fancher seized him. The half drowned men were assisted to Fancher’s boat and brought to the shore.” Who are the rescued young men? Warden Lee has issued a warning, quot- ing the by—law prohibiting the explosion of fireworks during certain hours and within certain limits. He adds, however, that if reasonable precautions are used for the prevention of accidents and the obvia- tiOn of nuisances, the by—-law 'will prob- ably nbt be strictly enforced. The boys may have all the fun they want—only be reasonable about it. The steamer “Cape Charles,” on July 4th, will make a grand excursion up the Hudson river, giving all who go an oppor- tunity of viewing the grand and beautiful “Palisades.” Trains connecting with the boat will leave South Norwalk at 8.27 a. m., and returning will touch at the pier at 3lst street, East River, at 3.15 p. m. Regular rates of fare will prevail. This will be one of the cheapest and most enjoyable trips of the season. Boom your own town whenever you can. Half of Bridgeport’s prOSperity comes from the interest which all of her citizens take in sounding the advantages to be found in the Park City. Norwalk and Stamford, with their boards of trade, are keenly alive, to the interests and growth of their respegtiye towns, and the result is both townsare enjoying a healthy prosperity. It is unwise for any person, especially property owners and business men, to oppose progress and improvements on the plea of expense. Every dollar so invested will return better interest than any bank or corporation can ever afford to give.— New Canaan Messenger. Under the heading, “Pity the poor fish,” the Danbury News, of Saturday, said:— “Mayor L. L. Hopkins, Selectmen Bernd and Scott. Corporation Counsel Wake— man, Tax Collector St. John, Jailcr Alex— ander, Chairman Braun of the Democratic town committee, and a few common, ordinary tax—payers without any title started this afternoon for a cruise on the Long Island Sound and adjacent “waters,” The commissary car, containing the table, tackle, “etc.” went down on last night’s freight. Samuel Rider, brother of Engineer Rider. while engaging in cutting a high limb from a tree on Main street, on Sat- urday, met with what might have been a serious accident. The amputated limb swung around violently against the branch on which he was perched, knocking him oflf and he fell a distance of not less than twenty-five feet, into the street, striking on his back. Strange to relate he was only partially stunned by the fall, and was about town the next day none the worse for his mishap. Hobbie Post, of Stamford, Grand Army of the Republic, presentcd a handsome American ensign to the William street school Friday afternoon. The day was made scmi-holidayin the town, and a. large crowd of people assembled at the ceremonies. After the address of wel— come by William W. Gillespie, the flag was presented through Dr. H. P.Geib. It was accepted by Principal Casper Isham, after which addresses were made by Ma- jor James H. Jenkins and Colonel Henry Huss, of Mount Vernon. The Y. M. C. A. held services of more than ordinary interest at their rooms on Sunday last, the general secretaries’ quar- tette being present to conduct the singing. There were presentfifrom out of town General Secretaries A. H. Wilcox, of Merident Bryant, of Waterbury; and Ovcrton, of Danbury. In the evening the Association and visitors marched in a body to the Methodist church, where Dr. VanAlstyue preached a sermon to young men. ______ The “Mystery House,” of :South Nor— walk, a. Washington street restaurant. is not so “mysterious” as it was. The police raided it about midnight Saturday night, and a quantity of beer etc. was found and the place running, under cir— cumstances that made it look decidedly as if an illicit business was carried on. The proprietor, William Knapp, was arraigned Monday morning, entered a demurrer which was overruled and he was fined on two counts $70, from which he appealed, giving bonds of $300. Ex-Governor Waller of Connecticut was on Saturday at Chicago elected first vice- prcsrdent of the world’s fair commission. The others are M. H. De Young of Cali— fornia, D. B. Penn of Louisiana, G. W. Allen of New York and A. B. Andrews (f North Carolina. There yet remains to select a treasurer to complete the perman- ent organization. The authorities of New Haven are inves- tigating the mystery surrounding the find- ing of an abandoned infant in East Haven last week. It was unconscious and was at first thought to be dead. Showing signs of life it was taken to the hospital and subsequently revived. Coroner Mix and Medical Examiner White visited the neighborhood, but would not tell what they had learned. It is not believed that the guilty party will be apprehended. The Bridgeport Standard says: “The census enumerators for some unaccount- able rcason have not completed their work in this city, and it is impossible as yet to secure an estimate of the population. Many people estimate the population as high as 54,000, but the most common opinions place it between 48,000 and 50,- 000.” The Standard prints thelnames of several parties who have handed in their names as having been omitted by the cnumerators. As the GAZETTE is being printed, a parade of the American Mechanics is sup— posed to be parading the streets, as a prelude to the institution of a council of the order in Norwalk, which takes place in the Athenzeum. .The visiting councils announced to be present are Lincoln council, No.4, of South Norwalk; Wal- demere, No. 6, of Bridgeport; Pahqui- oque, No. 9, of Danbury; Leeds, No. 16, of Stamford; Paul Revere, No. 20, of Greenwich; Uncas. No. 25, of Bridgeport; Wooster, No. 28, of Bethel; Commodore Perry, No. 44, of New Canaan ; No. 52, of Ridgefield. The Litchfield Enquirer says: “As has been generally known, but a part of the stock of the Shepaug, Litchfield and Northern railroad company was sold to the present managers of the road. A large minority was still owned by its original proprietors. The first National Bank was the largest of these minority owners. It has recently collected nearly all the minor— ity interests, a sale has been made, and the stock paid for. We are unable to'find out who the purchasers are, but it is gen- erally supposed that it is the New England or Housatonic managers, and that they have got enough of the stock thrown on the market by the Sistare failure to give them a majority of the whole.” A short, stoutly built man, with gray hair and closely cropped beard, walked uneasily about the Fifth avenue corridor yesterday morning as if something had gone wrong with him. He was Congress- man Fred. Miles, of the Nutmeg State, who put in his first half century of years making his fortune as an iron manufac- turer, and in devoting the other half to politics. He has had two terms in Con- gress, but was defeated four years ago, and holds his present seat by a scant plurality of twenty votes in a poll of over forty thousand. Naturally he isn’t enthu- siastic over the prospects for Republican success in his district next fall, and he has been spending a few days at home to see whether it is worth while for him to run again. He told me that he hadn’t made up his mind yet, and a friend who noticed his weary air yesterday said that he was trying to solve the problem.—New York Star. ' The following allusion to a Norwalker who "went to New York for a good time” appeared in a New York paper on Sun— day:— Little cared Patrick Carleton how the wind blew as he sat on a beer keg on Fif- teenth street, near third avenue, for he was in that condition known as "having a glorious jag on.” Beside him sat a newly made barroom acquaintance named Jack Moran, pf N0. 346 East Thirteenth street. In quite a friendly and familiar way Jack’s hand found its way into Patrick’s pocket and came out again with some bills in it. Mrs. Annie Rich, of No. 147 Third avenue, saw the act and told a policeman. Officer Jere. J. Hennessy arrested Jack, and $4, exactly the amount that Patrick could not account for having spent, was found on the thief. In Yorkville court Moran was held in $500 for trial and Patrick, who came down from Norwalk to have a good time, was sent to the House of Detention as an important witness. John S. Seymour, Esq., actuated, as usual, by a desire to do good and help the unfortunate, bought a New York Times of the deaf and dumb newsboy on Saturday, giving him a dime for it and magnani- mously motioning the boy to keep the change. As he was reading the paper, a brother lawyer sauntered up, and happen- ing to glance at the heading, remarked, “John, can’t you get a later paper then that? that’s dated Wednesday.” John glanced at the date line, rubbed his eyes, glanced again, and replied : “That’s as true as your born! and not only that but I’ll be hanged if it isn’t dated Wednesday, September, 26, ISSS—two; years back I ” But then, he'explained, he only bought it to help the poor little deaf and dumb boy along, and was not disappointed by the discovery that the free trade editorial he was reading, which predicted sure demo- cratic success in “the coming election,”' was an old one, and a false prophecy a that. - There is a saloon keeper in Utica, Neb., who inserts the following :advertisement in the local paper: “To whom it may concern : Know ye, that by the payment of $1,227.40 I am permitted to retail ii:- toxicating liquors at my saloon in this city. To the wife, who has a drunkard for a husband, or a friend who is unfor- tunately dissipated, I say emphatically: Give me a notice of such cases in which you are interested, and all such Will be excluded from my place. Let mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, uncles and aunts do likewise, and their requests will be regarded.” The annual meeting of the Centre school district was held Thursday evening. lic- ports showed the district debt to be $15,- 700; cash on hand, $150. B. L. Fillow was elected a member of the districtcom- mittee for three years; C. N. Arnold, clerk; E. H. Parker, treasurer; and C. A. Burr, collector. The committee were. authorized to borrow money for current expenses. A special meeting of the dis- trict voters was called for July 10th, to take action upon a proposition to rescind the vote of last year, which legalize; the election of all the members of the com~ mittee at once for a term of one year, instead of electing one each year. Concerning the trout law, which wen into force yesterday, the New Haven Courier says :—Dnring the past year twen- ty-eight prosecutions have been brought by Mr. A. C. Collins, the game warden, and in each case the prosecution was successful. The violations included ship- ping game out of the state, selling in close season, netting trout, illegal shad fishing, shooting in close season and snaring. These prosecutions have been brought by the Connecticut Asscciation of Farmers and Sportsmen for the Protection of Game and Fish, and the state has given the association no financial support what- ever. Each prosecution costs the asso- ciation about $20, so that nearly $51,000 has been expended in this manner during the past two years. The money is contri- buted by the members of the association, and every person who goes out with rod or gun reaps the benefit. —-Carriages, carts and wagons of all dc. scriptions and at reduced prices at W. E. Dunn’s, 50 Wall street. tf17 A statement from Mr. H. D. Cornell, in another column, shows the cruel injustice . done by recent false conjectures and insinuations promulgated by busybody scandal-mongers who find a brave delight in stabbing the innocent and defenseless in the back, and who have little to do besides pouring poisonous slander into the capacious and willing ears of those imma- ture and irresponsible fake reporters who hasten to herald it abroad, colored with the hue which these brave “assassins of character” give it, instead of first ascertaining the actual facts, which would save the heartaches of undeserved dis- grace. The statement of Mr. Cornell, who is well and favorably known as an upright, conscientious citizen, and a man of un- impcachable veracity, and who was fully cognizant of every circumstance of the affair which has brought his family into such imdesirahle and unnecessary pub. licity, may not at once overtake the malicious insinuations of the professional mischief makers, but it will convince decent and thinkinglpeoplc—that portion of a community only, whose good opinion is of any value—of the wicked injustice these insinuations have wrought. “False- hood will travel miles while Truth is pulling on its boots,” but in the end Truth is bound to win. “Moody” Slocum, deputy sheriff of Winsted, is a brother of Rev. Father Slocum, of Norwalk, and a big, brave good natured fellow he is too, as noted for his sharp wit as for his efficiency as an officer. He seldom gets left. But if newspaper reports are true—as they some- times are—the joke is on him. He arrested a painter named Bardcn in Goshen, the other day. The painter was a bad man who was charged with com- mitting rape, and the sheriff wanted him very much. He wants him now very much more than he did. .He found his man industrionsly painting the side of a house, collared him, and marched him 011' toward the depot. Moody’s great mistake was in humoring his prisoner’s notion and allowing him to bring his tools along—his pot of green paint in one hand and his wide brush in the other. The painter walked along so meekly and submissively that Moody relaxed his vigilance, very unwisely, as the result proved. The painter watched his opportunity, and stuck the bristles of his brush deep down into the paint, then pulling it out, with a deft back-handed flourish, he slapped it, reeking with paint, across the face and eyes of the astonished officer, and ran like a deer, making his escape while Moody was wiping the paint out of his eyes. It was a bold and successful trick, and if Moody ever gets his clutches on that rascal again he will undoubtedly put him to an ignominious death. The officer has scraped all the house paint 03, but the coat of war paint that he wears is thick ferocious and terrible.
