3 cts- s y "WEEKLY — NoRWALnj GAZETTE- DEL If: H Ti.” UL RECEP ’l’IONb‘. A most delightful and enjoyable oc- casion was the tea given by Mrs. Chas. Dennis, at the residence of Mrs. George R. Cholwell. on High street. yesterday afternoon from four to six, and from eight to ten last evening. The house was beautifully decorated with choice flowers while above the hum of voices was heard the sound of music which greeted the ear at intervals, charming all who listened. Mrs. Dennis. Mrs. Cholwcll, Sr.. and Mrs. Henry P. Price gr iously received the many guests, who were constantly arriving, and the beautifully appointed table, spread with all manner of tempting things, was a delight to the eye as well as to the palate. The table was presided over by Mrs. George B. Cholwell, J r., Miss Clem Cholwell and Mrs. C. B. Coolidge, assisted by Miss Mabel Miller, Miss Sarah Woodward and Miss Alice Chol- well. The whole affair was “a thing of beauty and a joy forever.” and will long be remembered with feelings of delight by the worthy representatives of the best homes and families of Nor- walk. Another very delightful occasion was the tea given at the residence of Mrs; Burr Knapp on W'ashington street, So. N orwalk. from four to six, Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Knapp and Miss Knapp were assisted in receiving the many guests, by Miss Sarah Fitch and Mrs. George Jennings, while the bean- tiful table was presided at by Mrs. Ed. Knapp, assisted . by Miss Lina Couch, Mrs. Fred .Quintard, Mrs. Robert A. McDonald and Miss Jennings. It was a most enjoyable social event, and will linger for many a day in the memory of the many delightful people who were so fortunate as to be present. .0. BRIDGEPOI? T. The Chas. Beers estate is estimated to be worth about $20,000. The estate of J. L. Harlem is esti- mated to be worth about $25,000. The sudden death of Police Commis- sioner Beardsley on W'ednesday 110011. of heart disease, was a surprise to all, as he was attending to his business, and apparently in good health up to the time of his death. His funeral was attended Friday from the Fairfield M. E. Church, of which the deceased was a prominent member. The police force sent some beautiful flowers, and at- tended the funeral in a body. Dr. James R. Cummings, one of our oldest and most highly reapected phy- sicians, died at his residence 31 Court- land street on Monday last, of disease of the kidney. . Christian Endeavor day was observ- ed at the North church on Sunday last. and the services were very interesting. Rev. Dr. Palmer preached in the morn- ing, a very able sermon from 1st Cor. 12: 18—22. He spoke in part of the wonderful growth of the Christian En- deavor movement, and of its beneficial effects, not only to the church at large, but to its individual members. He said this Society does not own any church building, nor does it take the place of a church or church work, but like the Sunday-school it is an auxilia- ry to the church. It assists the church in training its members to take hold and begin active Christian work while young. The promises and the power of this organization for the future are. very great. In the evening the service was largely attended and a great deal of interest was manifested. Mr. F. B. Sammis is the president of this society, and in opening the meeting he made some very excellent and impressive re- marks on Christian Endeavor day. Hon. P. T. Barnum is gradually im- proving, Mr. C. R. Brothwell, one of Mr. Barnum’s faithful agents. has been elected President of the Board of Trade in place of David M. Bead resigned. Dr. Eugene Bouton, Supt. of Public Schools, delivered a lecture before the Scientific Society on Tuesday evening. on the “Ideal Man." It was a- schol- arly production. and all who heard it were delighted. The bell in the John street fire tower was cracked badly last week, and a new one has got to be procured. In sounding an alarm, it gives a dismal sound. "’ILTOIV. Messrs. John R. Comstock and Josiah Gilbert are doing jury duty in Bridge- port, at a. session of the Criminal Court of Common Pleas. After many years of halting hesi- tancy, Wm. B. Hurlbutt,.Jr., of Can- nons Station, will take unto himself a life partner. The bride is MissdlIary E. Godfrey: the place Weston, and the happy day February 19th. Another of the barns on the ill fated Gunning farm went up in smoke yes- terday, and with it about seventeen tons of pressed hay. The barn was not WESTPORT. , On Thursday morning the horse car which goes to the 8.50 train west, and the 8.58 train east, carried twenty-one passengers and these in and on a- small car, thus compelling about one half to stand, and this is not exceptional. If the cars are run for the accomodation of the public why is it that a small car is run on that trip, when there are pas- sengers enough to fill a large one. We had an idea that charters were granted to companies for the benefit of the pub- lie and that the accommodation of the public was to be considered in some small degree. but we may be laboring under a mistake. We were somewhat surprised to learn on Monday, that on Sunday evening our postmaster had, in company with Miss Mary Dickerson. paid a visit to Rev. Mr. Still at the parsonage, who performed the ceremony which made them Mr. and Mrs. Palmer. This is the result ofa rather lengthy courtship, and the parties must be pretty sure that there is nothing incongenial in either. Those farmers who were getting ready to begin their spring plowing have decided to postpone operations for a few days. Capt. Serino G. Allen of the steamer Sarah Thorp resides with his wife and daughter in one of the finest places in the village on Main street, but lately the Captain has not spent much of his time at home and when about there he has not entered the house but has been seen looking into the windows. This strange conduct might lead one to infer that Something was amiss, which is the fact. The daughter of the Captain is suffering from a severe attack of the measels and as the Captain has never thus far enjoyed an attack, he reasons that discretion etc, and proposes to re- mainat a respectful distance until all danger of infection has passed. Miss Jessie Keeler is taking a vaca- tion of a week, which she will spend with friends in Brooklyn and New York. Her place in the post office will be filled by Miss Jennie Thorp. The annual meeting of the Sauga- tuck Historical society will be held on Saturday at the libraay in the High school building at 2.30 p. m.. and the election of officers for the ensuing year will take place at that time. ‘ One of the pleasantest and most en- joyable social gathering which has been held in this town for many a day was the “Old-Folks” ball given in Sturges’ Hall on Tuesday evening. The afi'air was originated by the older ones who proposed to invite the younger people and abdicate in their favor, but it was among the morning hours before the older ones thought it time to let the’ young people have it all to themselves. There were about sixty couples present and all both young and old seemed to harmonize so perfectly that all agreed in saying that they never enjoyed an evening more perfectly. It is needless to state that the music was furnished by Offen. ’ Mr. E. N. Sipperly is engaged in boring a well upon his place and when that is completed he has the contract far putting down a number for parties in the village. ’ The funeral services of the late Mrs. Robert Billing, (7ch Gussie Allen) of Imperial avenue, were attended in Saugatuck and the burial was in Willow Brook cemetery. The putrifying of a dead horse at Poplar Plains is causng a sickening odor in that locality. Rev. Mr. Mevis of Saugatuck, preach- ed in the Methodist church last Sun- day evening, and assisted Rev. Mr. Still in the revival services. The remains of the late David Coley, and four of his family have been trans- fered from Evergreen to Willow Brook cemetery. and a monument will be erected. Mr. Coley once owned the residence where J. N. Betts now re. sides. .— —-———.——o o l l 'ESZ' A'OR l VA LIC. Our old neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Kimble, have been blessed with an- other heir. On Friday evening, Jan. 30th, our child-like and bland Sunday school superintendent. Mr. Percival, and his worthy wife, were surprised by a small delegation of his flock preceded by the gentleman with short horns. They were reassured when they found Jacob and Rachel were with the faith- ful, and opened wide the doors of the fold. The party spent the evening in feasting and rejoicing in commemora- tion of the advent of Mr. and Mrs. Pinto to this mundane sphere. A sociable for the benefit of the Union Chapel will be held at the resi- dence of Mr. D. C. Green on Monday evening, Feb. 9th.

A memorable trip of aparty of sports, involving a joke on the aforesaid sports, has not yet been published for the rea- son that the tourists themselvcs have kept mum. On the Saturday night preceding the last great snow storm a couple of weeks ago, Al. Austin, Geo. Nash, Thos. Hunt and Joseph Carier. all members of Company F, and all brilliant stars in amateur minstrelsy, hired a horse and carriage and drove to Darien to a dance. They stayed long enough to dance down the longest winded of the Darienites, and started for home at about3 o’clock in the morn- ing, and were surprised and dismayed to find the ground deeply covered with snow, and the snow coming down in blinding thickness. However, they bravely got into their carriage and started in the direction of home. The storm intensified as they proceeded, the whirling snow became more blinding and the road more difficult to travel. Finally they halted and succeeded in taking observations that convinced them that they were off their road and going in a wrong direction. Then out of pity for the horse. they all dismounted and trudged along on foot in single file, the horse following in the rear, Soon they came to a house. Austin plodded up the walk to the door and knocked vigorously. After a long and anxious wait, a window was opened in the upper story, and a sleepy and snarly voice belonging unmistakably to- a Dutchman, camc= forth : ‘.‘.Him‘mel Donnervetter ! vat for you smash my house in; du verdamder schindluder !” Austin briefly poured forth his tale of Woo and asked the privilege of bring- ing his party in by the fire. The win- boys stood shivering in the storm, waiting for the Dutchman _to open the door. After waiting thus for fully fif- teen minutes, and hearing no sound in- side. Austin kicked the door again, and again the window went up and the same voice snappishly asked : “Vell, now vat’s de matter ?” Aren’t you‘going to let us in ‘3" queried the spokesman. “Vell, I tink mebbe I guess not," was the unfeeling response as the window fell. The bovs moved on through the storm in sad and silent single file, a ghostly procession. filled with angry thoughts and breathing silent maledic~ tions on the devoted head of the hard- hearted Dutchman. The same exper- ience was repeated at two or three other houses, and the snow bound wan- derers were barked at by watchdogs and shot at by the awakened yeomanry. At last, however, they reached a house occupied by a couple of kind-hearted women, who hQSpitably let them in, kept them till the storm abated and fed them well. It was not until the 'shades of night darkened the earth on Sunday evening. that the crest- fallen quartette drove into Norwalk, by a side street. None of them are very enthusiastic in their report of the Da- rien dance. I CHARGED WITH RAPE. The court room was well filled at 10 o’clock A.M. yesterday, with Spectators eager to hear the particulars in the case of Richard \Vhittlesey, J r., a colored boy of 17, charged with assault and attempt at rape upon Miss J ulia Poyvez, aged 17, living on the Rocks road. His Honor, Judge Coolidge came in late, Attorney Lockwood wiped some of the dust off one corner of the law- yers’ table, Constable Morehouse re- moved Eddie Thomas’ hat and the court opened. ' Miss Poyvcz testified in a straight- forward manner, that on her way home at about 6 o’clock last night she was dow went down with a bang and the ficd that the girl came home weeping and said Dick had been chasing her again. , - Dick W’hittlesey, the prisoner, testi- fied that he was in Buckingham Lock- wood‘s barn helping his brother from 2 till 7:30 p. in. yesterday; was positive about the time because he looked at the clock; did not leave the barn for a min- ute during that time. Questioned by Judge Coolidge, he admitted that he left the barn at about 5 o’clock and went to Mrs. Theodore Smith’s barn to take care of the horse, as is his cus- tom; didn’t mean what he said when he testified that he hadn‘t left the Lock- wood barn from 2 to 7:30; went right back to the Lockwood barn and wasn’t absent over ten minutes. Buckingham Lockwood testified that Dick was in the barn at 2.30, at which time witness went out for a drive. On his return at 6.20 Dick was still there. William Whittlesey, brother of the prisoner, testified that Dick was with him at the Lockwood barn from 2 till 7.30, excepting ten minutes at about 5 o’clock, Was sure about the time be- cause he “looked at the clock.” At noon court adjourned till 9 o’clock to-day, to allow the state to procure witnesses to prove Dick was down town between 2 and 7.30. Court convened this morning, and William E. Barnes, driver on the Win— nipauk horse car line. testified that he saw Miss Poyvez after dark, as she was on her way home. A young man, whom witness couldn’t identify, owing to darkness. was with her. Patsy Cahill saw Dick pass Dann’s stables at half past three. Vv’illie Gilbert, one of the DAILY GA- znrrn’s bright newsboys. was a most important witness for the state. He testified that he left the . North Center school at 4.20. came down town to Sutherland’s and took out a bundle of GAZETTES. While standing] on‘ Hale’s corner, he saw Dick coming toward the bridge from the direction of the horse car stables. Dick came up to witness. tapped him on the shoulder and said “Hello, Willie,” and went on toward Dann’s stables. was positive it was Dick. This was at about 5 o’clock. ' Probable cause was found and Judge Coolidge bound the prisoner over in $500 for trial at the superior court. Bonds were furnished. chrit Wins.
