track last night at about 8 o’clock near
the Noroton station when a train came,
around the curve and ran them do an.
Mr. Saunders seemed to be bewildered

his wife escaped unhurt. They have

What Democratic Papers Say.
The pettiness. the smallness, the sill-
iness of the attempts of the Democrat-
ic officials in the capital building at
Hartford to annoy Governor Bulkeley
are the cause of much amusement to
people who can find any thing amusing
in such exhibitions of supreme childish-
ness. When the two leading organs of
the party, the Hartford Times and the ,
New Haven Register, acknowledge
Mr. Bulkeley as governor of the state
it is surprising that a man of Comp-
troller Staub’s intelligence and acumen
vent him from exercising the duties of
office, and to annoy him. It is unutter-
ably small.—[Ansonia Sentinel.
First M. E. Church.
The members of this venerable church
after deliberately considering the ad-
visability of erecting a new and more
pretentious church edifice, have finally
come to the conclusion that it will no
wiser, for the present at least, to con-
tinue to worship in the old church. A
thoroughrenovation, redecoration, etc.
of the interior of the edifice, has been
agreed upon and when finished, the
church will be at least comfortable and
reasonably attractive to the worshipers.
If not ahead of the procession in the
way of grotesque and uniquely ornate
church structures, this church is at the"
top of the column in the quality and
perfection of its choir music. It is
freely conceded that no other Norwalk
church equals it in this particular.

Hubbell—Riley.
The weddihg bells rang merrily yes-
terday in New York as a son and daugh-
ter of old Norwalk were led to the altar
of the Church of the Ascension, and
were joined in the holy bonds of wed-
lock by the rector, Rev. E. Winchester
Donald, at 12.30 o’clock. The high
contracting parties were Frederick T.

of Galveston, Texas, and a grandson of
the late Joseph W. Hubbell, one of
Norwalk’s most capable and respected
business men of a generation ago, and
Miss Mame Riley, a well known and
widely esteemed Norwalk young lady,
who has, the past season, been a guest
of her sister, Mrs. Charles DeKlyn,
whose husband is proprietor of the
Gedney House, New York.
The groom’s brother, Mr. Will Hub-
bell, acted as usher and Mr. Charles
DeKlyn gave the bride away. At the
conclusion of the beautiful marriage
ceremony at the church, the newly
wedded pair and their friends took car-
riages and wefe driven to the Gedney
House, where a sumptuous wedding
breakfast had been prepared in the pri-
vate banquet hall, by Mr. and Mrs.
DeKlyn and which was a delight to all.
The bride and groom, at two o’clock,
took the B. and O. express to Washing-
ton, wherc they were to spend the
night, and today resume their journey
first to San Antonio and then to Gal-
veston, their future home. The wed-
ding presents were numerous and bean-
tiful, and many, peculiarly delightful
souveneirs of the love and esteem of
the generous donors.
The guests from Norwalk were, Mrs.
Albert Morehouse, the aged grand-
mother of the bride, Miss Alida Ball,
Miss Kate Bartram, and Miss Marga-
rette Smith.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles DeKlyn, Miss
Dora Judd, Mrs. George Chichester,

Parallel Bbad Hearirig. ‘_' ,
At yesterday’s Parallel road hearing ;
in Bridgeport, before the‘ Railroad
Commissioners for the approval of the
line, etc. , the following named interests
were represented :
Mr. J. Belden Hurlbutt represented
the railroad fconipaiiy; Attorney Dris-
coll, the city of New Haven;George W.
Wheeler, the city of Bridgeport ; J. J.
Rose was the representative of James
Porter, of Bridgeport ; Tyler, Inger-
soll & Co., of New Haven, represented
St. Lawrence cemetery in the town of
Orange, and performed similar service
for Frank W. Fellows; J. A. Look-
wood, selectman of Greenwich. ap-
peared for his town; Colonel Hoyt of
Greenwich looked after the interests
of the Byram Land 8; Improvement
Company, W. J. Smith, Augustus I.
Mead, Ann Burnett, Garrett Scofield
and Silas W. Mead.
The railroad company introduced in ;
evidence a certified copy of the associa- ;
tion agreement, and the completion of
the organization, as required by statute,
with maps and profile of the line.
H. G. Scofield, as engineer, testified
to the absolute correctness of the sur-
vey made by him last fall.
It was also shown that the company
was duly organized; that stock sub-
scriptions to the extent, of $235,500 had
been received and that $23,550 in cash
had been paid in, and that every requi-
site step had been taken for the com-
plete and perfect organization of the
company.
At the request of Attorney Driscoll
the hearing was adjourned to April 15
next at New Haven, in order that the
municipal authorities may take action,
if so disposed, respecting the layout in
that city.
.Finch Brothers’ Barn Despoiled.
The lower barn of the Finch Broth-
ers has been systematically robbed
during the past winter of hay and oats
too large amount. The thieves, (for
there must have been more than one)
had keys that not only gave them eu-
trance to the barn from which they de-
liberately pitched out the hay into
their own wagon, but a key to the oat-
bin as well. The Finches estimate their
loss of oats at seventy-five bushels and
their loss of hay at several tons. The
coolness of the robbers can be under-
stood by their feeding their horses be-
hind the barn with the oats and hay,
while bagging the oats and loading up
the hay. There is no‘ clue to the thieves
but they are undoubtedly the same vil-
lains who are continually pillaging all
about Easton, Weston, Bedding and
Upper Wllton. It is high time some
special effort was made to capture and
punish these audacious thieves.

Always in Trouble.
The Denver News tells the following
on a popular broker now in this city :
Will Keeler, the lightning stock ma-
nipulator of Kansas City and Denver,is
telling a good one on himself. Will is
interested in a Clear Creek property
that came into a fine ore body a few
days ago, and after mutual congratula-
tions with the other stockholders, he
made his way home and entered the
house looking very solemn and sup-
pr essing the joy he felt at his good luck.
'hat is the matter now, Will?”
asked his anxious wife, for she thinks
her lord and master has a natural fac-
ulty for getting into trouble.
. “Oh, nothing much,” replied Mr.
Keeler, “only there is a big strike at
the mine,” and still suppressing his ex-
ultation, Will commenced to wind his
watch, while he took notes on the re-
sult of the good news to his wife.
“There, Will Keeler, I just knew how
it would be. You are the most unlucky
man I ever knew. Here the mine was
just commencing to look good, and now
you have one of those nasty strikes.
You had better get out of it as quick as
you can,” and it took Will an him to
explain to her the difference between
a winning “strike”and one of the other
kind where dissatisfied men are in-
volved.
VWill is a brother of N orwalk’s ‘Bor-
ough Warden E. O. Keeler, and is well
remembered as a former familiar per-
sonage hereabouts.
The Norwalk Club and its New
Temple.
At the meeting of the subscribers to
the fund for the building of a suitable
edifice for the Norwalk Club held at .
the club rooms last night, two elabor-
ate plans, with attractivc front eleva-
tions, were submitted by Architect Ran-
dall of East Norwalk. This artistic
work was strictly a Norwalk produc-
tion, the work having been elaborated
by Mr. Randall’s expert and accom-
plished draughtsman, Mr. Arthur N.
Paddock, who is alive well known as the
gentleman who has been appointed the
organist for Grace church.
A Bridgeport architect also submit-
ted two plans‘ through Mr. Ira Cole,
but the Randall elevations and plans
seemed the favorites. 'Messrs. George

THURSDAY.
Latest Legislative Notes.
HARTFORD, March 26.—Soon after the
Senate convened yesterday Senator
Shumway suggested that consideration
of the Seymour bill be suspended and
that the Senate take up the Foster bill,
so called.
Senator Seymour said he was willing
such action should be taken if the sen-
ator moved that it be taken, and pro-
ceeded to urge adoption of his bill. He
analy zed the bill in an able Speech and
said. “ It has been claimed by some Re—
publicans that if the bill passed in its
present state, Judge Morris would be
seated so firmly in oflice that no subse-
quent act or decision could remove him.
I say that I do not believe the passage
of the act would do anything of the
kind. It is not my intention that Judge
Morris should be more than a provis-
ional governor. I offered the bill in
good faith, and I will say that if any
senator will offer an amendment that
will more firmly or fairly provide that
pending the decision of the courts,
Judge Morris shall occupy the office of
governor provisionally, and that in the
event of a decision in favor of General
Merwin he shall immediately vacate the
office, I will most cheerfully accept it
and vote for the bill as thus
amended. It is my desire that this
whole controversy shall end in justice.
It has been stated that the republicans
have said that they would not agree to
a plan for settling this trouble because
they could not afford to lose the coun-
ty commissioners. I give warning here
that at an early date I propose to intro-
duce a resolution raising a committee
to make searching inquiry into the
methods of the county commissioners
of the state, the object being to expose
the rottenness if it exists, or the calum-
ny of the. report if such there be.” The
speaker closed by again asserting that
he did not contend for detail; he wanted
to see the vexed questions settled.
Senator Cleveland said that only a
few minutes before a leader of the
house had told him that the house
would vote down any olive branch that
came from the senate.
Senator Seymour said that it was not
well for the senate to offer 'an olive
branch to the house. The house had
not done its duty. it was true, but that
did not excuse the general assembly
from making a fair attempt to settle
the trouble. Senators Cleveland and
Pierce might be content to take a neg-
ative position on the question, but he
would not. He favored his bill in the
absence of anything better. If an}
senators would offer another and bet4
ter plan he would vote for it.
In the house Mr. Green, of Norwich,
moved that the unfavorable report of
the committee on canvass of votes for
state officers on the resolution declar-
ing the election of. democratic candi-
dates for such ofiices be accepted and
that the senate resolution be rejected.
Mr. Walker, of Hartford, moved to
lay on the table, but this motion was
lost.
The previous question was ordered,
and upon its being put the report was
accepted and the resolution rejected.
