WESTPORZ

The pastors were each, save one, in
their own pulpits Sunday and all preached
autumn sermons. The day was typical of
September and brought together good
listeners. In the evening the harvest full
moon induced everybody to walk forth,
and all the services were well attended.

Mr. John R. Palmer, according to a
washington dispatch, has been appointed
er to succeed Mr. Hope. It is

postmast
d when he will take charge Of the

not state

office.
A caucus of republicans will be held in

Sturges’ Hall Thursday evening, Oct., 2,
to nominate town officers to be voted for
at the annual town meeting.

There will be a meeting of the Westport
Whist club, Friday evening. -

Mr. H. R. Treadwell of New York,
made a visit here Friday. He is looking
as healthy as when he was a pernanlent
resident.

Paul Prusser of Norwalk formerly of
this place, is seeking to induce some
Westport capitalist to erect a building
with an oven, for the purpose of carrying
on the bakery business, agreeing to pay a
good price per month for the use Of the
same.

Marbleman McKenna is cutting a sarco-

phagus monument for a well known citi—
zen to be erected in Willow Brook ceme—
tery.
It is likely there will be a very lively
discussion in the coming town meeting
on the question of highways and a better
method than the present for conducting
and repairing them. The opinion seems
to have become general that the lamp
contract system, while not a total failure
during the past five years has yet not met
the intention or desire of the tax payers
as to what good roads should be although
every clever yearly sum has been paid
for the service. There will be those at
the meeting who will urge that the exist-
ing system is a penny wise (and pound
foolish one—that much better results can
be attained in some other way—that the
old district surveyor system indeed is
preferable and finally, that, instead of
attempting to cover the more than fifty
miles of highways in the town yearly and
treating them all in differently, it will be
wise to attend, by example, .to the roads
leading out of the village first and do
them well—a little each season and so
have something which can lay claim to
being substantial; others it is said, will
advance the doctrine that the roller and
stone crusher system is the Eureka of the
road problemwhich all have been aiming
so long but never attained, and that
investment for such machinery
might be heavy at the outset, the in-
creased good results which there use
would secure, would make them econom-
ical in the end. The advocates of the
crusher—roller business will have one
strong argument to support their posi—
tion—there are stones and rocks enough
in Westport to be obtained without cost,
to rock ballast or even macadamize hand-
every road in town. It is also
the new town home topic
ht forward but, while it is
important it is less so than the roads.
On one thing nearly all are agreed, River.
side avenue over which the horse railway
passes should receive early and prompt
attention.

The yacht Rival with a party from
Saugatuck which had been cruising in
the sound stopping at points on Long
Island, arrived Saturday.

The Cedar Point Yacht club are talking
about, giving a ball before the close of
autumn or early in Winter. It will pro.
bably be held at Hotel Stanley.

Bridgeport, Sunday.

The annual consignment of grindstones
for Bradley’s axe factory, weston, has
arrived at Saugatuck.

The iron work over the railroad cross-
ing west of the depot has been strengthen~
ed with heavy timbers, and the abutmeuts
have been widened to admit of five tracks.

There was an enjoyable little social
clam eaters’ party at Frank Finch’s,
Chestnut Hill on Sunday last, at which a
few amateurs took their first lessons in
extracting the works from the luscious
bivalve, the host himself proving an apt
scholar.

It is reported that the enjoyable concert
given last spring by the choir of St. Mat-
hews’ church will soon be repeated.

Louis Verlin, of the Castlecoote farm is
one of the busiest business men in town.
At present he is buying immense quantities
of hay for pressing, also apples for press-

NORWALK_GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1. 1890

Our Bridgeport Letter.

The sale of the Bridgeport Horse Rail-

road has been consummated. The following

directors were elected at the meeting of
the stockholders held on Friday last. P _

T. Barnum, Frederick Hurd, B.J. Lasher,

Charles A. Hotchkiss, Frank N. Benham

and Sherman H. Hubbard. Important

improvements in the road are promised in
the near future,

Mr. E. C. Hamilton, the East End drug-
gist was married on Monday evening last
to Miss M. A. Cordon. Rev. Louis N.
Booth performed the marriage ceremony.

COI. W. H. Stevenson and family will
move from their summer residence in
Fairfield on Wednesday Of this week to
his winter home on Golden Hi I.

The engagement of Miss May Heath, Of
this city to Charles Parsons of New York,
is announced.

The engagement is announced of Miss
Alma I. Cate, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Stephen G. Cate, Jr., to Mr. Frank A.
Thompson, of Hartford.

General Duryee, who died in New York

on Thursday last formally had a daughter

living in this city, who is the wife of the

Rev. N. L. Briggs, formerly rector of

Christ church. He often came to Bridge—

port to visit his daughter, and was well

known here. '

Dr. F. J. Young of our city has received

a very handsome compliment in the way

of a set of resolutions passed by the East

Washington avenue Baptist church. They

are of such an unusual characterthat I

enclose them entire. It is a rare thing for

a man to give his gratuitous services for

so long a period as twenty-five years. He

is surely following our Saviour’s example,
of ministering to the poor, the sick and
the unfortunate.

WHEREAS, Dr. Frank J. Young has for
more than twenty-five years freely given
his valuable professionable serVices to
the care of our sister, Mrs. Sarah Cole,
recently deceased, and in addition there-
to has not long since turned over a bill
of one hundred dollars to her support:
Resolved, that the East Washington

avenue Baptist church hereby expresses its

hearty appreciation of the genuine philan-
thrOpy and the large hearted generosity of
Dr Young. .
Resolved, That the thanks of the church
he tendered to Dr. Young for his uniform
kindness to our departed sister, towards
whom he has thus beautifully manifested
the spirit Of the Great Physician, who
‘fwent about doing good.”

Resolved, That a Copy of these resolu—
tions be enter, ‘, on the minutes of the
church, that ther copy be sent to Dr.
Young, and that copies be furnished the

evening newspapers of the city.
F. W. TOMLINSON, Clerk.

Bridgeport, Sept. 21, 1890.

lir. Edward M. Sturges, of this city and
formerly superintendent of the East End
Horse railroad while on a hunting expedi-
tion in company with two friends, Mr.
Edward Bunnell and Mr. Harry Chamber-
lain, on Thursday last, to the Statford
meadows was accidently‘ killed. In get-
ting over a fenCe Mr. Bunnell’s gun was
discharged and the contents entered Mr.
Sturges right side, causing almost instant
death. His friends were overcome with
grief but at once had him removed to a
house near by and sent word to his wife
informing her of the accident. Her grief
was heart reading but she immediately
prepared herself to go tc her husband, but
he died before her arrival. Mr. Sturges
leaves a mother, wife and two children to
mourn his loss. His funeral was attended
yesterday from his late residence on East
Main street, Rev. Mr. Sherman, of St.
Paul’s church and Rev. Mr. Hallock of
the Summerfield M. E. church, officiating.
The handsome silk banner offered as a
prize to the Council that made the best
showing in the parade last Monday was
won by Pilgrim Council, of Norwalk.
A sad and fatal accident happened to
Mr. James Keefe, of South Boston, Mass,
on Thursday evening last. The young
man stepped from the cars before they
had stopped at the station and was thrown
under the cars, both legs being cut off.
He was taken to the hospital, where the
surgeons were obliged to amputatc both
limbs just above the ankles. He died the
following day of the injuries received.
The sad news was telegraphed to his
friends in South Boston, but they did not
arrive until after his death. They at 01100
removed his remains to his home in South
Boston.
Conductor Andrew Canfield, of the
Consolidated road, lies dangerously ill at
his residence in this city. He has had an
operation performed for strangulated
hernia, and it is feared that he will not
recover.
The Epworth League convention, held
iii Washington Park street M. E. church,
last week, was largely attended, and the
reports from the different societies were
very encouraging“. Rev. C. J. North, of
South Norwalk, said that the League 'was
established for the promotion and ad-
vancement of Christian work. Some
excellent addresses were made by differ-
ent members of these societies, and a
large number testified that they had found
great comfort and joy in this work for the
Master. .The meetings were held until
Thursday. At its close the following
officers were elected :—President, Rev. C.
J. North, South Norwalk ; vice-presidents,
N. A. Ulman, Trinity M. E. church, New
York; John W. Osman, Danbury; L. B.
Nickerson, Washington Park M. E. church
of this city; E. J.IHiil, Norwalk; C. 0.
Miller, Stamford; corresponding secretary,

church of this city;|treasurer, Rev. W. E.

Alstyne,;0_f Norwalk, clOsed' [the c'onven.
tion, and his address was very highly
spoken of. It was reported that over
thirty-eight churches werefirepresented."

tiful and the marching by the men was
grand. From tliree to four thousand
were present, Norwalk being well repre-
sented.‘~ '

Hon. Geo. C. Coles and his wife were
in this city last week Wednesday. During
their wandering about the city they took
in our beautiful Seaside Park.

The writer had a pleasant call last week
from Arthur 0. Wheeler, who is connect.
ed withthe Norwalk straw hat factory.

The Baptist Church Society had a meet-
ing Friday evening to consider the propo-
sition of Mr. P. T. Barnum to purchase
their property, but they reached no de-
decision. It is generally considered
among business men that Mr. Barnum
has made a good offer for this prOpeity.

A Running Sore Le-g.

Ulcers Form. Hospitals and Doctors Useless.
Crazed with Pain. Cured by Cuticura
Remedies.

 

 

About eight years ago I wrote you from Wilkes-
barre, Pa., descrlbing now your wonderful reme-
dies completely cured me of a terrible case of
eczema or salt rheum. I must now tell you what
Cuticura Remedies new again done for me. On
the 22d of last September, I had
the misfortune to bruise my leg,
and I put a piece of sticking
__ plaster on it. Inside of a week

w 1 I had a terrible leg. My wife
became frightened and advised
. me to go to a surgeon. I went
and doctored for two months.
but no good was done me,be-
sides costing me big money. My
leg had by this time formed into
i an ulcer, and got worse every
§\..day. I could not stand it any
.1 longer. and made up my mind to
i) go to a hospital and see if I
- could be helped. I went to sev-
eral here in the city, in turn. but none could do
me any good. I had a terrible leg, with a hole in
it as big as a dollar, and pain that almost set me
crazy. I got scored about it and determined to
try Cuticura Remedies. I obtained a set and in—
side of five weeks my leg was healed up as well as
it ever was. except the terrible scar it left for a
reminder of what was once a terrible sore leg.
These Remedies are worth their Weight in gold.

M. L. BYINGTON.

Pension and Claim Attorney,

708 E. CAPITOL srnrrr,
wnsrrnuei'ronr, 11.6.

With several years of experience in the claim business at
the National Capital, and being thoroughly familiar with
methods of practice before the Pension Bureau, I am in a
position to render valuable aid to Soldiers and Sailors, their
widows and minor children, and dependent parents, who
avail themselves of my services.
pension for dependent parents at $12 per month, regardless
of their pecuniary circumstances at time of the death of their
son, provided he left neither widow or minor children.

It also allows a pension of from $6 to $12 per month to
all who served ninety days in the Military or Naval service
during the late war, who are by reason of physical or mental
disability unable to earn their support by manual labor.
Under this section of the law many who are now receiving
only $2 or $4 per month could easily obtain an increase.

Widows of those who served as above for a period of nine-
ty days or more, who are dependent upon their own labor for
support, will receive, upon submittance of proper evidence,
$8 per month, and $2 per month for each minor child under
sixteen (16) years of age, and this regardless of the fact
whether death was the result of army service or not.

No fee is, allowed me unless I am successful, and then the
fee is paid by the Pension Agent from the pension granted.
