C. Lapham, of Stephcntown, N. Y., for— merly proprietor of the Riggs drug store on Main street, is in town for a few days. The N orwalk printers would like to play ball with the Bridgeport printers—if the latter can muster up courage to meet them. The printers and soldiers failed to get together for a ball game on Saturday last, as they were unable to secure suitable grounds. One of John Biixtou’s assistant bill posters, W. S. Bates, is to start off soon in advance of the Old Grimes’ Cellar Door company. Officer Adams arrested Thomas White on Saturday night for assaulting John Clu'lc. White was let off on payment of the costs, 536. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Seymour, of West street, South Norwalk, have returned from a visit with friends in Stamfordville and Poughkcepsie, N. Y.

Those who desire may board the train at the depot at 9 p. m. The wholesale beef houses will close at noon every day, with the exception of Thursday, during the remainder of the summer. For the best job printing, at reasonable prices, come to the GAZETTE office. Esti— ‘matcs cheerfully given on any discription of work. The borough is now being supplied with water direct from New Canaan reser- voir, and the distributing reservoir is rapidly filling up. The new Price building on Water street is rearing itself in the air. By the way, the blasting operations in the cellar have been finally suspended. Bob Adams, the saloon keeper, has bought the stock, fixtures and good will 5 Gus. Newrnan’s barber shop. Ben Bechtel will run the business for him. James Reed, 9. Consolidated road brake— rnan, was killed near New Rochelle, Sat»- urday night, by falling from a car on the “brick express.” He was 29 years old. “Uncle Jack” Meyers has dispOSed of his interest in the Rockaway Hotel, and devotes his entire time and attention to his interests in the firm of J. II. I-loyt L% 00. R. M. Rose started yesterday for Wash— ington, D. C. The object of his visit is a deep, dark secret, but it is suspected that he has gone down to “see about” this post office affair. Among the Connecticut aides-de-camp to Gen.Alger, for the Boston encampment of the G. A. R. in August, are George I. Buxton, of Norwalk, and Patrick Wade, of Bridgeport. The brick addition to the South end of the James block on Water street, will be one story high. It willjcontain two offices, for James T. Hubbell,Esq., and GOLF. St. John Lockwood. Blue fish are so plentiful in New York markets that they are quoted at five cents a pound and several scows full of them have been dumped upon Barren island to be used for fertilizer. Chauncey Platt, the painter and paper hanger, has left the employ of J. T. Prow- itt, and started in business “on his own hook.” and ought to succeed. South Norwalk harbor gets $4,000 from Uncle Sam for improvements. That isn’t as much as was expected, but it’s better than nothing. You can scoop out quite a heap of mud for $4,000. Of all the many expert bicycle riders that treadle their tortuous way through our streets, not one presents a more im— posing, graceful or picturesque appearance than Lawyer George Honueeker. Mr. Joseph Story, who works for Whitworth, the tailor, sails for England on the Cunard steamer, “Etruria” on Saturday, 19th inst. He expects to spend about six weeks in the “old country.” The census shows Norwalk’s population to be 17,127. It would show only 17,126 if the enumeration had been made a couple of weeks earlier, or in time to miss the 9le. John Weighed on Maple street. The soldier boys will encamp at Niantic six days, as usual, the project for an eight days’ encampment having been knocked on the head by vote of a majority of the brigade. The encampment begins Aug. 18th. A break in the water main near the Wall street corner yesterday morning, dampened the basement floor of the Bos- ton store, and its repair caused the horse cars on the Winnipauk division some bother. Jack Sheriden mauled satisfaction 'out of Charles Lowe Saturday for some real or imaginary grievance, and was ar- r‘ested‘by Sheriff Toner. Monday morn- ing he paid $8.75 in court for the satis- faction. , ~Judge F. W. Perry is now fully supplied with the necessary blanks ‘under the new pension law, and is ready to at- tend to the applications of his clients who desire to take advantage of the provisions of that law. 2t Rev. S. B. S. Bissell suggests that the old Congregational church bell be pre— sented to the M. E. church, of East Norwalk. It certainly would be a pretty act and at the same time add tone to the new church. Our esteemed contemporary, the Port Chester Entemrz’se, patiently resigns itself to “grin and bear it” for another week. It says: “Owing to the press of business we have not had time to notice the attack of our contemporary.” The town of Stamford has voted to give each of the 41 surviving veterans who enlisted from that town, the sum of $247.96. This redeems a promise made by the town authorities in 1864, which was not fulfilled until new. Editor Betts and son Fred, returned home from their Canadian trip on Monday morning, sun-burned and tanned, but well pleased with their experience. Neither one was seasick and both ate their meals regularly and voraciously. Chauncey is a good workman Through the carelessness of the nurse, th 2 infant son of Willis Bouton was wheel- ed off the sidewalk in his perambulator on Wednesday, and dumped out against a heap of stone, sustaining an ugly cut on his head. Gen. Russell A. Alger, commander-in- chief of the Grand Aamy of the Republic, was in town yesterday. If it wasn’t Alger, it was some other stranger who looked enough like him to justify the reporter in making the mistake in identity. Both Danbury and Stamford chuckle audibly over having beaten Norwalk in the census race. They have also both outstripped us in the number and enor- mity of their murders, robberies and other unrighteous accomplishments. LcGrand Smith, for several years em- ployed in the Grand Central depot, was in town Monday. Mr. Smith, owing to severe attacks of rheumatism has relin- quished his position in New York and is now residing in Bristol, this state. Mrs. W. E. Collins, of New York, for- merly of the American House restaurant, was in town on Saturday. She has re— cently recovered from a severe illness and reports that Mr. Collins also has been sick. They will probably come to Nor— walk soon for a visit. Congressmen would do,well to remember these words, uttered by General Sherman in a. speech tozthe old soldiers of the Army of the Potomac Thursday : “Remember this country extends over the continent, and is not confined to one part, and there are good people everywhere.” At the Y. M. C. A. meeting on Sunday afternoon, the subject of the service was “Where are you putting your treasure ?” The general sentiment was that the young men could invest at least a portion of their treasure to excellent advantage, by subscribing for the GAZETTE—which many of them do. Editor J. H. Vaill, of the Winsted Her— ald is talked of asja probable candidate of the republicans of Winchester, for repre— sentative. Joe has worked hard and zealously in. the interests of the party in Litchfield county, and "this recognition would be mutually creditable. We hope he’ll get there. The esteemed Palladium satirically felicitatcs Connecticut that she has been recognized by the Harrison administration to the extent of Patent Commissioner Mitchell, and now Consul Bowser. If our memory serves aright, a Consul was also taken right out of the composing room of the Palladium. The base ball critics of the New Milford Gazette and the Berkshire News are fight- ing furiously. Bolles calls Curtiss a “crass sciolist,” and Curtiss counters with “myopic, asynoviated, crinigerous,” etc. Such blasphemy should be frowned down. Those words are strong enough to knock an umpire down with. The census of young lady bicyclists is rapidly increasing. It is a charming sight, to see these Winsome fairies grace- fullyfioating along with the same case and symmetry of motion as a swan in a duck pond, but the dexterity with which they dismount and flirt their skirts into position is something mystifying. Frank Lassen’s place, at Calf Pasture beach, is rapidly becoming one of the most popular Shore resorts of the harbor. He has ample accommodations, sets out a most appetizing shore dinner, and his prices are almost ridiculously low. His patronage is increasing daily and the success of the place is assured. “Dicky” Brown, (good Elk,) of Bridge— port, is the exaltcd ruler of a handsome yacht, named, in honor of the B. P. O. E., the “Social Session.” he is‘said to wear horns, and when it comes to “traveling,” she takes the toast. She is the pet of the lodge, and has sufficient capacity to “serve us all,” says Dicky Brown. Ex—Govcrnor Lounsbury’s parents cele— brated the 02d anniversary of their mar— riage on Wednesday last, in Ridgefield. The two bold robbers who bound and V gagged a young clerk in LaRue’s jewelry SiOl'c; robbed the place of several thous- and dollars worth of diamonds, jewelry and cash ; escaped to Brewsters and were finally surrounded and captured by an armed band of avengers, has given Dan- bury enough material for conversation to last till Fair time. Last week’s Real :Estate Restrd says: Architect Henry A. Lambert is preparing plans for a new building for Col. F. S Roberts’ Norwalk Military Institute. It Will be built on the grounds adjoining the old Selleck school and will be a handsome structure, colonial in design, and in the form of a cross. The material will he wood with shingle trimmings and slate roof. It will be four stories high, 187x128, with verandas. The building will contain 80 to 100 sleeping rooms, each boy having a separate room; gymnasium and drill room 50:;90, dining and recitation rooms, etc. The interior will be finished in Date ural woods and heated by steam. No contracts let. The Superintendent of Public Instruc— tion in New York state has announced the vote for a state flower as follows: rod, 81,308; rose, 79,666; daisy, 33,603; violet; 31,176; pansy, 21,203; lily, 16,438 lily of the valley, 11,626; trailing arbutusr 7,888,- buttercup, 6,127; scattering, 29,—- 045- Total 318,079. A like contest in Connecticut would, we believe, give the daisy the preference. Jamcsw. Storey, bridegroom, was pre— sentedpa $75 French clock by a few of his friends on Tuesday evening. The pre- sentation Speech was made by Mr. Frank Street, in well chosen language, and in a voiceas silvery and mellow as the tones of the Crook’s cathedral gong that will call Jinrup at early morn to build the fires and shovel paths when winter spreads his fleecy mantle over the earth. North Canaan is making rapid strides in her upward and onward progress. She has increased 110 in population in the past ten years; her business and commer- cial interests have grown and thrived; metropolitan airs buoy up her social at— mosphere, and she has arrived at that ,point in her progressive career where, if the News speaks the words of truth, her most urgent need is a lock—up. Editor Kirk, of the New Canaan Mes— senger, is a victim of misplaced confidence. A tramp printer named Reynolds, whom he befriended and gave employment, repaycd him by stealing $15 in cash from the sanctum desk, and skipping. Kirk warns other employing printers to look out for him. We believe Bross, of the Ridgefield Press, also has a grievance in connection with this same printer. A Stamford dispatch gleefully says:— "There is much satisfaction felt in this town over the result of the census enumer- ation. The total population is 17,856, which shows a growth of fully seventy-five per cent. in the last decade. The town now leads Norwalk by a few hundred. Ten years ago Norwalk’s population was 3,000 nfore than Stamford’s.” We con— gratulate our sister town on its evident prosperity, and enter the 1900 race to win. William Barnum, a New Canaan farm- er, left his home on Friday and has not yet returned. He is said to have started for Bridggport to buy a suit of clothes, and was‘ seen'in' Norwalk, drunk. As he had some money with him of course the usual alarming conjectures of foul play, etc., are freely promulgated. He will probably turn up when he gets sober and ready. These “mysterious disappear; ers” most always do. Bridgeport surely is trying to reform in good earnest. All the gamblers and naughty girls have been chased out of the city, and now the reformers, armed with long sticks are in full pursuit of those un- scrupulous villains who are so devord of principle as to propose a series of sacred Sabbath baud concerts on the public parks, for the demoralization of those who toil and sweat for their daily bread during the week. ______ A picture of the poet Curtiss adorns the top of the sauntcrer’s column in the Berk- shire Nezcs. Like most sentimental, soulful poets, Curtiss is a dude. He is represented in this cut, leaning languidly against a fence in the neglz'gee attire of a tennis player, with striped blazer, sash, eyeglass, cigarette and all. But he is “oil” in one particular. The great goose has neglected to turn up his breeches legs at the bottoms. _______ The bad debts on the books of the bank- rupt F. H. Ruscoc estate, were sold at auction at the Fairfield county bank on Saturday. Wallace Dann bought the batch, aggregating the imposing sum of $25,000. for which he paid one dollar. cred uucollectable, Mr. Dann purposes to put them into the hands of hustling col— lection agency and sanguinely hopes to realize something on them. A scribe suggests in the Sentinel the horrible idea that their new reservoir be densely packed with files. For mercy’s sake, man, doesn’t that huckleberry water smell to high heaven already, so tha with Charles Dudley Warner, when he encountered the dray~load of Limburger, the solemn question arises with all who are forced to use it, “Can a ruereiful God forgive such a stench?” and now would you make such an overpowering Ointment, scriptural though it may be? A little West avenue girl, who reads nicelittlejuvenile books, reproached an impatient playmate the other day, who was scolding about the horrid flies, quot- ing as follows : “"I’was God that made the little fly And if you squash it, it will die.” Then she added impressively, “God did make the little flies. He made ’em for you and for me.” “Well,” retorted the other, as she “squashed” one between her chubby hands, “He needn’t have bothered himself about making any for me. I didn’t ask for ’em.”—Record’s Dutch Contributor. This is the same little girl who horrified her pious little playmate by remarking that she “didn’t want to go to heaven where she’d have to wear wings, like a goose.” sale is larger than all other washing compounds Golden . Notwithstanding the accounts are consid— ~ In every town where Savena is introduced the ~ E. N. hurlburt, formerly of Wilton, dropped dead from heart disease while walking along Sherwood avenue, Bridge— port, Sunday morning. He had been visiting his brother, John H. Hurlburt, and when he arose on'Sunday morning he complained of feeling unwell. He started for a walk, thinking it would do him some good, but had got hardly beyond the gate when he received the sudden attack which caused his death. He leaves a wife in Brooklyn, N. Y.. where hehad resided for the past few years. Mr. R. C. Mudge, of Detroit, who so royally entertained the Norwalk delegates to the national "editorial convention in that city last year, was in town on Mon- day, and by way of returning his courtesy, his Norwalk friends took him down to the Dorlon House for a shore feast. He is spending a few days in Brooklyn, and before returning to his home in the West he will again visit Norwalk, when Mr. E. O. Keeler, who was one of 'the journal- istic delegates from here, will give a feast in his honor, at the Keeler mansion on Mott avenue. _ The population of New Milford has in- creased by only sixteen inhabitants in the last ten years. This lugubrious showing fills the soul of Editor Bolles with disap- pointment and deep concern. Discourag- ing as it may be, Bolles may console him- self with the comforting reflection that he has done his full duty in the way of booming the town in his enterprising paper,and also in furnishing one-sixteenth, or more than six per cent, of the entire increase—a bright and bouncing little Bolles that looks just like its pa. ' The new business block which Sam Harris is building in Danbury to replace the one recently destroyed by fire, will be one of the finest in the city. It is a cor- ner block with a large frontage on both Main and Liberty streets. Mr. Harris, who modestly confesses himself to be the “prince of Clothiers,” will occupy the entire ground floor, while the upper floors will be rented. The block will be, according to its owner’s unique and origi— nal system of mathematics, an eight story block—three stories from the ground floor to the top, and five stories from the top to the sub—cellar. __ _ » II. T. Oatmau is the editor of the Pitts: field Call, a clean and wholesome Sunday paper. He is also a member of the Pitts— field Methodist church. He was recently notified by a committee of his church brethren that he must either give up the publication of a Sunday paper or resign from the church. Mr. Oatmau promptly gave the committee to understand that he would do neither, and the community and the press are backing him up. Oatmau has avery rigid spinal column, and the probability is that he will not only con— tinue to partake of the Communion with his brethren and sisters of the church, but will also continue to furnish them with wholesome intelligence for persual before, after or during the Sunday sermon, as they prefer. Considerable gossip has been. caused by the exploit of W. B. E. Lockwood, Jr., who, on a wager of $40 With Fred Bullen, of Bridgeport, drove a team of horses belonging to H. E. Dann, from Bridge— port to Nor-walk in a few minutes less than an hour, on Friday evening, with himself and Bullen in the buggy, the distance being fifteen miles. The horses were completely exhausted on arriving here, and ham been under treatment ever since. The time would be wonderful, even forateam of trained trotters, and the wonder is that the livery team did not give out before reaching here. Mr. Dann says they will never be as good as they were before, but they may come out of it in such a condition as to he not altogether worthless. The team were valued at not far from $500, and a GAZETTE reported is informed by Mr. Dann, that he purposes to sue Mr. Lockwood to recover damages. The state humane society have not, as reported, meddled with the matter. —Evcrything pertaining to horse fur- nishings, carriages, etc., at greatly reduc- ed prices, at W. E. Dann’s, 50 Wall St. 17 Two important decisions were rendered by the supreme court Saturday, error hav- ing been found in the case of James A. Lindsay against Thomas B. Gunning, jr., and others. In the case of Daniel L. Stanton against the New York, Bridge— port and Eastern railroad company error was also found. In the first case Lindsay a Jersey City contractor, erected buildings on Gunning’s farm in Wilton, and received only $8,000 of the amount due. The con- tractor had a mechanic’s lien placed on the property, claiming $11,000. Judge Thayer decided the lien invalid, and an appeal to the supreme court of errors was taken, resulting in favor of the plaintiff, thus allowing a new trial. The second case has been in the courts since March, 1875. Henry Hunger-ford a respondent in the case, claimed that he entered into an agreement with Henry R. Parrott, S. E. Olmstead, W. C. Street, William T. Minor, representing the road, to purchase land for the construction of the road. The agreement Hungerford claimed was not carried out by the railroad company, and the plaintiff claimed heavy damages. In the superior court the plaintiff was award- ed $10, and an appeal to the supreme court has resulted in the granting of a new trial.—Brz‘dgeport News- There will be sharp rivalry among the Detroit clothing dealers for the contract to supply the wearing." apparel for the statues in the art museum. The clothing dealer who can advertise as the “outfitter” to Apollo, the DyinglGladiator, or Justice Selleck’s voluptuous Venus, will in the future have a monopoly of the trade of the country. . Of course that yarn about the Sturgcs girl in \Vestou, knocking out a would-be prize fighter, was twisted and contorted into the proper shape for a sensationa item, by the sensation hunting scribhiers. It was made to appear that the girl is a more powerful and skillful pugilist than the other fellow. The simple fact is that the pugilist was maudlin and idiotically drunk, and in his driveling way he made a nuisance of himself, and the girl gave him a lashing, which he richly deserved, and which, in his beastly condition, he was powerless either to resist or resent. That’s all. tin—u.- A number of copies of the fifth annual. ~ report'of the state bureau of labor statistics,. have been sent to the GAZETTE office, ad— dressed to citizens. The book is accom- panied with two large and valuable maps of Long Island sound, showing location of all the natural and designated oyster grounds, etc. A number of books have not yet been called for, and if those to whom they are addressed care for them they should call at this ofiice and get them. They are addressed to Charles Raymond, Frank J. Pascal, John Nestor, H. B. Wig- ham, J. H. Buckley 65 Son, V. Taylor, John Remson, Walter Taylor, J. J. Walsh, “'m. Scofield, C. J. Smith, G. E.

The special borough meeting held in the Town House on Monday afternoon, was attended by a considerable number of voters, Warden Lee presiding. The ob- ject of the meeting, as set forth in the call published in the GAZETTE last week, was explained to the people, and after some little discussion it was voted to authorize the water commissioners to take such measures as may be deemed necessary in the matter of laying a new supply pipe from the'Sil’ver’ Mine reservoir to the dis-,- tributing reservoir. at an expense, if nec- essery, of not to exceed $30,000. It is not thought likely that anything like this sum will be required, as it is proposed to lay a sixteen inch pipe from the upper reservoir, a distance of perhaps two miles, then con- necting with the present twelve inch pipe. This, it is thought, will bring the water, in ample volume, over the hilly ground near the upper reservoir, where the chief source of the present difliculty is. Work will be commenced at once. If there are. any personsin the town or Westport, who have not been called upon by the census enumerators,'they will con- fer a favor by leaving their names at this ofiice.— Westporter. Which recalls an incrdent in the experi- ence of Conductor Charles .Emmons, one of the oldest cmployespf the Housatonic railroad, now gate tender at Canaan. Shortly before he was retired from active train service on account of his age, he was sent out in charge of a heavily loaded ex— cursion train to Parlor, Rock. He went through all the cars gathering up the tickets, then to make sure he had missed none, he went through again. After his second trip through the cars, it occurred to him that in spite of his vigilance there was just a possibility that he might have skipper] a passenger, so beginning with the first car he went through the entire train the third time, and as he entered each car he stamped vigorously on the floor to at— tract thc attention of the merry making cxcursionists, and shouted: “Iftherc’s anybody in this car that I ain’t got their tickets, won’t you please hold up your right hand.” The startling intelligence comes from the Silver Mine district, via Correspondent Kelk, in the New Canaan Messenger, that “rumors of changes among the business men are in the air.” The nature of the impending changes is not stated, and from the vagueness of the latest advices it is impossible even to conjecture either the extent or the effect of what is coming. Possrbly the butcher and the tin peddler are in negotiation with a view to swapping outfits. Or it may be that the cobbler is about to add an assortment of fiddle; strings to his stock in trade. PerchanCe forsooth the milkman will buya new cow. But be the changes what they may, there is a consoling crumb of comfort in the assurance of the correspondent, that it is quite likely that “the stain guo will be maintainer .” From this we infer this; there is no immediate cause for alarm; and if the general public, during the pres— ent unsettled and uncertain condition of affairs, will retain theirpresence of mind. keep cool but not sit in a draft, avoid fev- erish excitement, sunstroke, cucumbers, cold feet, ale, lager beer and Rhine wine to get drunk on the premises only, and remember that the statu quo will probably be maintained, a panic may be averted. when the crisis comes.
