It is reported of an East Norwalk
resident, who objects to the placing of
the fire-bell on Randall’s building, that
he on Saturday purchased a new lock,
and proceeded to the place where the
bell had been stored, with the ,aVOWell.
purpose of changing the lock on the
building, so that the bell could not be
removed. He was not a little chagrined
to find that the bell had been removed
and to-day is the butt of jokers.
Enos Kellogg
A young man giving his name as
Cook, and claiming to have come from
the Bridgeport Post, has been repre-_
senting himself in Norwalk as about to
enter the employ of the GAEETTE, and
on the strength of that, succeeded in
beating his boarding mistress, Mrs.
Merritt, out of the amount of his bill.
The GAZETTE knows nothing of this
person, and would advise boarding
house keepers to look out for him.
Bridgeport and \Vaterbury will stru in

afternoon. The event will takg place

be captured by the winning team, and
the \Vaterbury Democrat holds a for-
feit of $25 on. the match. . The Cling
brothers, formerly of New Haven, will
push with the Bridgeport team. Much
. interest is taken in the contest.
A petition to the New England road
to change the name of the flag station
now known as Newtown would, if cir-
l
culated, be signed by many and ought
to receive prompt attention. This
3 station should be called Hanover, or,
|
, which
at least, something besides Newtown,
is misleading to strangers.
i Many times visitors have left the train
‘ at Newtown
on the New England,
lwhen the real Newtown, that on the
Housatonic was intended.—[Newtown
Bee. -
Up in \Vinsted, in some of the relig-
ious denominations there is a refresh—
ing tone of liberality. The superin-
tendent of a Sunday school in one of its
orthodox churches has the reputation
of being the most skillful billiardist in
town, so that he can give “points” to
almost anybody in billiards as well as
in religious instruction. If Solomon
were living to-day he would very likely
in a “revised version” of his Proverbs
say there was a time to play croquet,
base ball and billiards, and a time to
refrain from these games.
In the Berkshire hills, there was a fu- -
neral and, as they gathered in the little
parlor, there came the typical New Eng-
land female, who mingles curiosity with
her sympathy and, as she glanced around
the darkened room, she said to the be-
reaved widow , “When did you get that
new eight-day clock?“ ‘ ‘We aint got no
new eight-day clock,” was the reply.
”You aint ? V‘Vhat’s that in the corner
there?” ”Why, no, that’s not an eight-
day c10ck, that’s the deceased; we stood
him on end to make room for the mourn
ers.”—-—[Chauncey M. Depew.
It is somewhat strange that the wives
of many of the political magnates of
both the great parties differ so much
in their feelings about their husband’s
ambitions. There is Gen. Russell A.
Alger’s wife, who is so thoroughly
wrapped up in her husband and child—
ren that she is strongly opposed to his
mingling in public affairs at all.
Everybody knows how differently Mrs.
John A. Logan felt in the days when
her husband was alive, and it is an
open secret that Mrs. Cleveland is far
more ambitions for another four years
at the head of \Vashington society than
her Spouse is to go back to the White
House routine. .
In the matter of placing the new tow-
er for the fire bell in East Norwalk, on
the Randall building it is guaranteed
by the owner of the building that it can
remain there for fifteen years, change
in the ownership of the building to
make no difference in the time. The
committee, however, reserve the right
with a vote of the citizens whenever it
shall be thought advisable to do so.
The tower which is nearly completed
will be placed at the northwest corner
of the building. A wire rope from the
bell-striker will be boxed in and lock
and keys distributed. The bell will be
ready for use as soon as next Saturday.
The bell was made at the Troy bell
foundry in 1852.
W. H. Lockwood, our local trainer,

has also in training the spotted pacer,
J. 0., 2:25, and the well known cam—

AN _-IS’l'OJ\’ISH 1:1) ITALIAN.
Saturday afternoon while William E.
Dann, our enterprising harness and
trunk dealer, was enjoying a short nap
after a hearty dinner, his partner Mon-
son Hoyt, was waited upon by two sons
of sunny Italy, bent on purchasing two
of the latest improved Saratogas, in
view of two approaching wedding tours.
“ Monse ” with'his usual urbanity soon
sold each a three-dollar trunk, whose
shape and finish would have satisfied a
Vanderbilt. Shouldering their trunks
the two Italians startedfor “Jerry” 0’4
Brien’s Whistleville District, congratu-
lating themselves over their good luck
in being able to purchase two elegant
trunks for $6. After a short nap \Vil-
liam E. returned to the store and dis-
covered the absence of the trunks, and
pointing to the spot where they had re-
posed before his departure for dinner,
he interrogated “ Monse ” as follows:
“Say, Monse, whathave you done with
the two trunks that stood there?” “Sold
them, partner,” replied “ Mouse.”
“ That’s good.” ejaculated the delight-
ed partner. “ But did you take out
those alligator valises that were inside?’
“Holy Moses ! ” yelled “ Monse,’y
‘ ‘ I forget them, by thunder! and those
blasted Italians have gone off with‘
them.” In a second’s time “Mouse ”
was on the horse cars speeding for
South Norwalk in hopes of catching his
customers before they reached that city.
In front of Mr. Matthewson’s “ Monse”
overtook Jerry’s \Vhistlcville constitu-
ents, and jumping from the car he
yanked a trunk from the terrified Ital-
ian’s shoulder and proceeded to open
it and remove therefrom about $20;
worth of alligator valises, which he had
sold with the trunk for $3. It is need-
less to remark that valises are not kept .
in trunks at that store now, and here-
after when you buy a trunk from .
“ Monse” you will find that a nest of
alligator valises do not go with it.

A most dastardly and murderous at-
tempt was made at East Norwalk to
wreck both the 8:40 accommodation
bound east, and the Boston express
bOund \Vest, and which does not stop
at South Norwalk, but passed the East
Norwalk station a little before 9 o’clock
\Vednesday night. There were several
long heavy ties wedged across the tracks
between the depot and the bridge, and
the 8:40 was the first to strike the ob-
structions. The engine came head on
with such force as to entirely clear the
track and escape serious injury. The
cow catcher was twisted up into indefi-
nite shapes and the passengers experi-
enced a ‘severe shaking up but the cars
did not leave the track and the train
passed on to New Haven.
Less than half an hour later the
Boston express, due at the Grand Cen-
tral depot at 10 p. m. came thundering
down on thehwest track and when be-
tween the East Nor-walk station and the
draw bridge, it came upon precisely
similar obstructions, but fortunately,
the murderous fiends had not effected
their inhuman purpose, for although
the great, heavy ties, requiring at least
two strong men to carry them, had
been wedged diagonally across and
over and upon the tracks, the force of
the engine’s blow upon the obstruction
was such as to hurl the ties from their
position, with slight injury to the cars
and none whatever to the slightly
jolted passengers.
\Vhat could have been the motive
that prompted these two deliberate at-
tempts at murder, no one can conject-
ure, but the purpose was plainly appar-
ent. The Consolidated officials will
make every exertion to detect and pun-
ish the inhuman scoundrels. Many
surmise that it may have been done by
the same tramps who fired the Gorham
barn to divert attention.
NOR "13.7. C‘L-{1l’i§'.,
Lockwood & Lockwood recently sent
on order, a consignment of their large
soft shell clams for frying, to Gen.
Geo. W. Moss, general agent of Adams
Express Co., at Washington. The Gen-
eral chanced to be in Kansas on their
arrival in Washington, and the clams
were expressed to him there, and he
writes the DAILY GAZETTE thusly: “I
received them last Monday morning.
They were just as fresh and good as
they could be. As all of us know some-
thing about soft shell elams, you can
just imagine how we enjoyed them 1,400
miles away from the ‘National Capital.’
As good luck would have it, we had
Col. Jacques, who was raised in Massa-
chusetts, and his son to dine with us
that day, and it was a rare treat to
them, as they had not had any for sev-
eral years.”
EDITOR GAZETTE :—While I was walk-
ing down the street, a little boy, I
chanced to meet. With a pile of pa-
pers he went his way, cryincr, “GA-
ZETTE! GAZETTE! to-day!” ’I‘en min-
utes more and I met the lad with only
one paper, ’t was_all he had. I took the
paper and gave h1m the cent, and con-
sidered my penny was very well spent.
“You have all the news,”—away the
boy ran; “the GAZETTE willpleaseyou
if a paper can. You will find me here
on a wet day or dry, crying ‘GAZETTE,’
as you pass by.” H. R.
