Foot Ring. _ At 10 o’clock:Monday night the DAILY GAZETTE reporter received a tip from a local sport that two Norwalk fighters who had met several time before, were going to meet for a finish fight, and that it was to be for blood. Quick- ly proceeding to the place of meeting, which by the way was through woods and mud, the reporter found himself before a twelve-footring, around which were grouped about 50 sports from the Norwalks, Bridgeport, Stamford and Darien, and all eager for the fight to commence. Some delay was caused by the principals refusing to dress until the stake money, 325, had been put up. This was quickly ,done, , and both stripped. for the fray. . When they entered the ring and took their pos1- tion on their seconds knee, one appear- ed to weigh about 138 pounds, and the other 120, but the lighter fighter ap- pearedto be in much the better con- dition, and bets were freely made and taken that he would win. Selecting a well known local. sport for referee the two met in the center of the ring and shook hands. The fight by rounds was as follows: Round 1. Both pugilists sparred for an opening, and the heavyweight landed on his opponents’ face and received a rib roaster in return. The round ended 11 a clinch. , _ Round 2-. The lightweight opened the round' by smashing the heavyweight in the face, but received a whack in the ribs that made him wince. Some heavy infighting 'was indulged in and' the round like the first, ended in a clinch. Round 3. It was the evident inten- tion of the lightweight to finish his man in this round for he sailed in and smashed the. heavyweight right and left, getting away Without a return. Some wicked infighting then occurred, which ended in a beautiful uppercut by the lightweight, which brought the claret from his adversary. First blood was claimed and allowed. Round 4. At the call of time the iightweight spran from his corner and opened right and eft on his opponents face, getting away without a return. Starting in again he rained blow after blow in quick succession upon his. an- tagonist and ended the round wrth a corking right hander that _ sent the heavyweight to grass. When time was called for . the fifth round the lightweight jumped nimbly to the center of «the ring, but" the heavyweight refused to fight and his second threw‘up the sponge, giving the tight and purse to the lightweight. After the fight many remarks were heard characterizing the affair as a ‘ ‘fake," and from the manner in which the principalstapped each other it cer- tainly had a suspicious look, but it must be said for the lightweight, that he did some very effective work in'a scientific manner. ~ . . Previous to the above fight seven rattling rounds were fought between a well known fighter and his trainer, which resulted in the trainer being knocked completely out. Death of Mark Mc Donald. Mark Mc Donald, coachman for Mr. Robert Van Buren. attended Hope Hose ball, on the evening of March 33th, as a spectator, where he contrac- ted a severe cold which rapidly de— veloped into pneumonia and caused his death at an early hour Tuesday a. in. Deceased is well spoken of by every- body who knew him. He worked two years as a coachman on .the' Woodbury place and had-been in the "employ ‘of Mr. Van Buren for the last six years. He leaves a wife and four children, the oldest but ten years of age and the youngest, under -’ two years. The lat- ter is critically ill with pneumonia and may not long survive the father. The Knights of Columbus will have charge of the burial, which takes place Thurs- day, Mr. Kavanaugh officiating as funeral director. -. . 7 ~-———~a-—‘——-<+>——.————- -. Lieut.

Cohen, formerly residing in N orwalk, James Daskam, an alleged real estate broker in Stamford and Edward L..Studwell, a master carpen- ter living in New York, met in Cohen’s office at 156 Broadway and fell to talk- ing about the death of Millionaire Irv— ing A. Robertson and the fact that he had left no will to dispose of his great property. From one to another it was suggested that it would be easy for anybody to get this property or the most of it if a woman should ‘appear who should Claim to be Mr. Robertson’s widow by a civil marriage. Summed up as tersely as possible the story runs thus: To think was to act, with this precious trio, and having found a pliable female named Helen Cassie. Brooks, the contest with the legitimate heirs by the bogus widow and her backers began. As usual, how- ever, these rogues “fell out,” and were arrested, and the3story 'of the swindle appears in full in' to-dayls GAZETTE with a picture of the woman in. the case. Knowing that Cohen, one of the chief swindlers, was in Levi Warner’s law office a dozen years ago, a DAILY GA- ?ZETTE representative called on Mr. Warner this morning. To interr0ga- taries respecting Cohen Mr. Warner ,smilingly replied : “I don’t like to say anything against a man when I can, find nothing to say in his favor. Cohen was with me only three or four months, be- fore his admission to the bar, but he was altogether too smart (i. e. unprin- cipled) for this town.” . It has also leaked out that Daskam some years ago married a Miss Searles of Norwalk, although but little is_ known here respecting him. ————_—‘+>—— -————-_ A LETTER FROM BUCKHOLZ.

Creagh has on exhibition on Main street, reproduces a very interesting ac- count of its history and construction which our readers will undoubtedly ap- preciate. It tells very plainly that it was invented by Thomas A. Edison, sometimes known as the Wizard of ,Menlo Park, in 1877. The first phono- ‘fvgraphs were fitted with cylinders of tin "foil, but were never very successful. It was in 1886 and 1887 that cylinders of wax were used, and they. reproduce the voice in a very natural manner. The prevalent idea that electricity is the 'power that reproduces the sound is er- roneous, as it is only the motive power, , , _ and has no more to do with it than wa-f of the most beneficent toflet adjuncts ter has, with flour, inasmuch as the former lenly produces the force that turns the mill. Foot power would work just as'well, for phonographs have been successfully worked by foot power. The construction of the phonograph is very simple. The essential parts of the machine consist of a glass diaphram about the size of'a silver dollar and as thick as a sheet of writing paper, to the Center of which is attached a sapphire point. This point is let down 'until it touches the surface of the wax cylinder and the sounds of the voice, music, etc., vibrate the column of air in the speak- ing tube, that vibrates the diaphram, drives it backward and forWard, and sound waves are cut in the surface of the cylinder.,, When it reproduces" . the , sounds a needle drags in this groove; it' rides in and out of these little hills and hollows, and so vibrates the dia- phram again, drives it back and forth ~ in the same manner that the sounds did and in that way reproduces the sound.

'. ‘ ' '_ For the purposes of this narrative we will call these good people Uncle Paul and Aunt Pamilla. While, on general principles, the former is a truly good man, and is a real pillar of the church, he has two weaknesses, or besetting sins,Speaking after the man- ner of men. For a fast horse 'and lim- berger cheese respectively, while Aunt Pamilla fairly “abominates” both, her horror of one being fully equal to that of the other. Uncle Paul. knowing that he has but one life to live, especially with a more or less high-strung. woman, and hav- ing no desire to sit on barb wire all his days, wisely bought an old pelter of a nag for Aunt Pamilla, which that good lady was wont to exercise over'the country roads and in Norwalk when she ventured from home to do her “tradin.” One day last week, so the writer here- .of (“Old Veritas.” who writes now and then for the local newspaper,) is cred- ibly informed, Unc1e Paul hooked up two of his best nags, regular Morgans they are said to be, and asked Aunt Pa- milla to come to town with him. Push- ing her specs up on her forehead the old lady thought “as how” she’d like to if he would promise not to drive fast. To this Uncle Paul readily as- sented and the start was made in good form. All the way hither, true to his promise, Uncle. Paul held on to his eX- citable steppers and when he turned into Wall street his arms ached as if he’d been sawing wood, and body ma- ple at that. Arrived nearly opposite the DAILY GAZETTE building Aunt Pamilla got out and started off in the uncertain way peculiar to most women who want to do some shopping without any definite aim in view save getting bargains, while Uncle Paul, left to his own de- vices, strolled about at will. Going but a short distance he saw some “Schweitzer Kase”in awindow and be- ing overcome by his "chronic weakness for that sort of cheese which smells like a morgue, or worse, bought a cake of limberger, started» backup town, and deposited the slime sifely under his wagon seat. - In due time Aunt Pamilla, having tired out most of the dry goods clerks in the borough, hove in' sight, was SOOIl.‘ seated in the wagonvand away this prac-. tical couple went toward home. Uncle Paul, remembering. his matutinal prom- ise, held his horsesl'in until his bones cracked, while Aunt Pamilla took in the “skenory.” There had been but little conversation, and both were thinking—or thought they were. All went well however, until they were passing a stretch of woodland when up went Aunt Pamilla’s‘ nose into “the blue empyrean” and sniff, snifi‘, snifi' were the only sounds that cut into the solemnity of the occasion. Uncle Paul the sly old deacon, wiselyheld his peace and Aunt Pamilla held her nose, but there were no remarks suitable for pub- lication. At last, after snifiing until after that particular sort of thing had been played out, as it were, Aunt Pa- millafervently ejaculated “Drive fast Paul, there’s something dead around here!" If ever a' more obedient man was seen than Uncle Paul. (albeit he was almost bursting with his varied emotions,) we have yet to hear about him. No second request of that char- acter was needed; the horses were let out and skimmed toward home at a 2:50 clip. Aunt Pamilla never seemed to mind the speed a particle, so great was her anxiety to escape from Uncle Paul’s limberger, which was getting in its work and smelling like “all possess- ed,” and when they reached home she had been effectually cured of her fear ‘ of fast riding, but Uncle Paul, after explaining the situation, had to store the cheese in the woodshed.

J ’ . ' j > After work in the third degree by the local Encampment, which was com- mented on very favorably by the visit; ing brethren, short addresses were made by Grand Chief Patriarch James Camp, of Bridgeport, Grand Senior others, followed by a banquet which by all present was considered one of the best yet given by a local organizar tion to visitors. The menu was both choice and sufficiently varied, and the committee having the matter in charge cannot be complimented too highly. At midnight the festivities ended, and when the happy gathering broke up the hope was expressed that there might be other fraternal meetings of like character in the near future. During the evening the recent un- timely death of George Muckridge was feelingly alluded to by the members of Kabaosa Encampment, who respected him highly and who had thus early dis- cerned in him the qualities which com- bine to make a worthy and working Odd Fellow. He had looked forward to last night’s entertainment with great pleasure, and had so expressed himself, hence the profound regret at his un- looked-for departure. 03¢ A Dangerous Spot. Two men on their way from Bridgeport to Norwalk Sunday night, met with a serious accident at the Elwood cross. ing, where the digging has been begun for the tunnel. No lights were dis- played, or suitable guards placed to warn passers-by of danger, and with a fine pair of horses they veritably drove into a pit. The carriage was overturn- ed and the gentlemen. thrown out, though not seriously hurt. By cut- ting the harness, etc., the horses were cleared. With the help-of Mr. William Elwood, efforts were made to fix things up sons to proceed, but without suc- cess, being too late to obtain harness. , from Mr. Henshaw’s stable.

The Dread Disease Devélops in Pitts- burg, Allegheny and Cheswick. PITTSBURG, April 10.—Pittsburg has a spotted fever scare on hand just as the grip is abating. The first intimation that this disease was in the vicinity came in an anonymous communication . to the board of health from Cheswick, dated March 14. Cheswick is a small village fourteen miles from Allegheny. The population is made up of business men occupied in Pittsburg, who have their own property. The letter received by Superintendent Baker reads as follows: Board of Health: ' DEAR SIR—There are two or three cases of spotted fever here which should be seen to at once, as the epidemic has a. tendency to spread, and may prove fatal. Sincerely ask your aid. CITIZEN. Investigation showed that three deaths had resulted from the malady at Cheswick, and means were taken to isolate the pa- ' tients. It is supposed that the'disease was brought here by people living in that suburb and working in the city. At that time Superintendent Baker, of the health board, said an epidemic of spotted fever was to be feared, and that the disease is sure in its work. Patients whom it attacks last but twelve to fifteen hours. Several cases developed in Pittsburg and Allegheny since then, and-the number seems to have rapidly in- creased lately. NEGROES ATTEMPT A ‘LYNCHING. Two Hundred of Thom Put to Flight by a Resolute Janet. KANIAS 0111?, April 10.—About 1 o’clock Thursday morning 200 negroes made an attack on the county jail for the purpose of lynching William McCoy, the man who is accused of murdering the negro woman whose body lay all Sunday night in the street. The colored element of the city have been greatly worked up over the case, and when the preliminary trial was held the justice was compelled to hold it in the police station for fear that the negroes would take the man away from the officers. Wednesday the negroes were greatly ex- cited, butxrno'thing Was thought of it other than that they were making arrangements to have McCoy prosecuted. - The consulta- tion resulte‘d‘,‘liOWevei-, in their gathering in the neighborth of the jail, and after . midnight a deman‘d'was made on the jailer for the keys, but as they were refused an attempt was‘ made to break down'the doors.
