' Another Norwalk sport has been no- tified that his presence in Darien is required, all on account of that much advertised dog fight. The case of Slattery vs. Adams, for alleged assault and battery, was tried before Justice Hurlbutt Saturday, and resulted in the acquittal of Adams. On Saturday the President appoint- ed the following Connecticut postmas- ters: John Tweedy at Danbury, Roger S. Baldwin at Tilford, and Orrin N. Lamson at Southington. It is rumored that Expressman Brun- dage is soon to bring to Norwalk one of the fair daughters of Brewsters, N. Y., as his wife. His many friends here are ready to offer congratulations. An East Norwalker says this is the time when a selectman with the grit and courage of ex-selectman Charles H. Wheeler is needed to deal with the real estate sharps in the employ of the Consolidated railroad. Charles H. Scofield, of Stamford, whose illness was reported in Friday’s GAZETTE, died Sunday morning, at 3 o’clock. He was theeldest broth- er of Mr. James Scofield, of Scofield .5; Hoyt. The funeral services will be held in St. Andrew’s Church, Stam- ford, on Wednesday at 2.30 p. m. The Coroner’s jury investigating the Fourth avenue tunnel diaster heard testimony going to show that engineers frequentlyran past the danger signals in the tunnel. Engineer Flower’s state- ment that the danger signals were not shown before the collision was contra« dicted by several witnesses. It is understood that the New York, Bridgeport & Eastern Railroad Co. have applied to the railroad commis- sioners for an approval of their layout. A hearing will be had in Bridgeport on March 24th. The proposed layout is forty-five miles long, and it is said has i not a single grade crossing. : Senator Hearst’s death increases still ifurther the startling record of mortali- lty in the 51st .Congress. Saturday the House paid the honors of‘eulogy to the eleventh member of that body who has ' died since its term of service began in Munch, 1889. Mr. Hearst is the third member the Senate has lost during the same period. As Mike Fitzgerald, our tree scrap- ing artist, observed the putting in of the big single panes of glass intp the lower sash of what is to be Grace church’s rectory, with true Irish wit he remarked 1 “Sure they’ve gotthe lights in neow, and I suppose they’ll soon have the livers in there too.” The DAILY GAZETTE leads them all. - lVe read that at the Earles’ Murray Hill Hotel, the other day, a porter vent- ed his opinion in this wise concerninga gentleman not unknown to fame :_ “There goes the solemnest and dismal- ist gent as ever stopped at this ’ouse. I don’t b’lieve he ever knowed what it was to larf. ” The reference was to Mr. Samuel L. Clemens. 4 Joseph F. Reifi', the Bridgeport res- taurateur who was struck and instantly killed at South Norwalk, Thursday night, as reported in the GAZETTE, had told a friend that when the time came fer him to Quit this life he wanted to go so suddenly that he would not have time to realize the agenCy that caused his death. - Judge Thayer Thursday, gave a de- cision that makes a precedent. In a suit against the New England road for damages for the death of Edward Hale the defendant entered a plea in abate- ment on the ground that the suit was not brought within a year from the date of injury. The plaintiff demurred and Judge Thayer sustained the de- murrer. _____ Father Slocum took Builder Theo. Brush to Washington last week and showed him Congress under a full head of steam, the public buildings and grounds and the thousand and one en- ticing and entertaining sights to a stranger at the National Capital. Friend Brush came home as tickled as a boy with his first pair of red topped boots. Mrs. Wm. Randle Smith is sending to Norwalk friends orange blossoms and rosebuds, plucked from orchard and garden in that sunny land of per- petual flowers bounded by the warm Mexican gulf, where she is luxuriating on tropical fruits, under tropical skies, while we poor mortals are shivering in Arctic snow and ice. Monday evening the 47th annual meet- ing of Concord division, Sons of Tom- perance, was attended by delegations from sister lodges as follows: Friend- ship of New Canaan; Welcome of Da- rien; Westport‘ of Westport; Minneha- ha of South Norwalk; Rising Star of Five Mile River; Cawassa of Winn-i-- pauk; Silver Stream of Silver Mine.

Burgess Kent is evidently not one of the gentlemen mentioned in the scrip- tures “who love darkness rather than light because their deeds are, evil,” as he wants all the light thrown upon the highways and byways of Norwalk that the borough can pay for without being considered'extravagant. . Otis Beers, the veteran timberman of Stratford, has just cut an immense stick of timber to be used as a keel fora schooner which is to be built at Beards- ley’s ship-yard, Bridgeport. It is 54 feet long and 16 inches square, and would make, if sawed, 1,100 feet of boards 1 inch thick. It was cut in Milford.

Mr. Thornton Smith has been placed in charge of the Lawn Tennis Depart- ment of A. G. Spalding and Bros., in New York. These gentlemen could hardly have found a better man for the place, and we expect to see MrQSmith make a great success. He is an ex- pert in all matters relating to sport, is a thoroughly courteous man, and has a host of friends in all parts of the country. We know a number of deal- ers, who have already sent their con- gratulations to the Messrs. Spalding upon the acquisition of Mr. Smith. Rev. W. H. H. Murray, of Adiron- dack fame, and known throughout the country as a writer, lecturer and poet, has again secured control of the old homestead and farm in Guilford, which he was compelled to dispose of some years ago on account of financial re- verses. The farm was purchased about two months ago by samuel W. Gledhill, of this city, who intended to make it what it was formerly—one of the finest stock farms in New England. After .Mr. Gledhill came in possession of the property, negotiations were opened in the interest of'Bev. Mr. Murray for buying back the farm, and Saturday the deeds conveying the old homestead where the ancestors of Mr. Murray had lived were turned over to him. It is the intention of Mr. Murray to pass the remainder of his life on the farm with his wife and children, and to pursue lit- erary work—[Bridgeport Standard. —We claim‘to have the best Teas and Coffees in town.

Miss Esther ‘Westerfield, forelady at the Merwin street shirt manufactory, retired from work at that place on Sat- urday last, and is succeeded by Mrs. M. L. Chichester, assistant forelady, her position being filled by Miss M. L. Snifi'en. Miss Westerfield has been employed at this factory for the past 35 years, twenty-five of which she has held the position of fore-lady. On Saturday she was surprised by the ladies under her charge presenting her with an elegant Turkey morocco writ- ing tablet, with oxidized silver trim— mings, and containing a gold mounted pen-holder and pencil and choice writ- ing materials. In addition to the above there was a triple mirror, oxidized sil- ver mounted, and of French plate glass. Both presents were splendid testimonials of the high esteem in which Miss Westerfield is held by her fellow employees. With tears in her eyes she expressed her surprise and gratification at the gifts, and said that herheart was too full to give voice to the kindly feelings she had toward all who had been under her charge, and hoped for the same happy relations towards her successor. I George Bell, formerly of Norwalk, son of Thomas Bell, died in J ackson- ville, Fla., last week. Sheriff Clarkson has decided to reap- point his present deputies and jailers for his second term of four years from June 1st. Another warning! Lawrence Mur— phy, a Bridgeport young man, has just died from excessive smoking of cigar- ettes. Mrs. P. W.

Three beautiful memorial windows have recently been given to the new ,Methodist church in East Norwalk. One is the gift of Mrs. Eben Hill of South Norwalk, in memory of her hus- band, the late Eben Hill. An original pension certificate has been issued to Bridget Hopkins, widow of James Hopkins, of N orwalk, through the Washington pension agency of M. L. Byington, at the rate of $8 per month, payable at the Boston agency. The two type writers stolen recently from the Bridgeport Business College, have been found in New York, and one of the thieves captured. Owing to Governor Hill’s recent ruling the man cannot be returned to Bridgeport to answer for his crime. If Governor Hill had only said to Governor Bulkeley what the Governor of North Carolina said to the Governor of South Carolina all this difficulty would have been avoided. Our Gover- nor no doubt would have quoted the Carolina Governor had Hill given the chance. . —Haud made harness at very low prices. Blankets, robes, sleighs and bells, at and below cost.

At the request of the Danbury au- thorities Governor Bulkeley has issued a requisition on Gov. Hill for John Colburt, the horse thief. Capt. Keat- ing the Danbury officer having the matter in charge, is on his way to Al- bany with the papers. Will Governor Hill persist in his refusal to recognize Governor Bulkeley? , The Meriden Journal astonished its readers the other day by the statement that “Court Windermere, No. 7,282, A. O. F., will have two candidates this evening for intoxication.” Although the average initiate is not considered responsible for his actions after riding the goat, this is about the frankest ac- knowledgment on record. General Manager Tuttle, of the Con- solidated road has received word from that the four additional cars for the “Ghost train” had been started on their way East. These four cars will com- plete the full train of 13 cars. The nine cars new at the shops in New Haven are all ready for the road with the ex- ception of the steam fittings. Small sailing craft had great difficulty in getting through the Sound to Bridge— port Sunday. As a fishing smack rounded the breakwater the head winds proved too strong for the vessel. The waves swept the deck and the yes- sel sprung a leak. Signals of distress brought a tug to their aid, and the Captain and his man, covered with ice, were taken ashore and cared for. The smack was towed to the flats, where it was beached. The Fairfield school board met Tues- of paying the salary of Miss Abbott, the young school teacher who attract- ed so much attention a short time ago. Justice Brothwell still refuses to sign the certificate endorsing Miss Abbott’s management of the school, and as he is the school visitor for that district, the salary cannot be paid. Miss Abbott past two months, and will probably sue the town for her wages. At the last meeting Justice Brothwell moved that the secretary be empowered to sign the certificate, but as that official had not visited the school during the" two months in question, the board decided that he could not certify to its proper management. No action was conse- quently taken. The question of paying the expenses of pupils attending out—of-town schools was not brought up. Constipation is positively cured by Carter’s Little Liver Pills. Not by purging and weakening the bowels, but by regulating and strengthening them.
