world, miscellany. literature, etc. In our sup-
plement, (which goes with the WEEKLY.) we

derstood. Price of DAILY. from Monday to

Last Saturday. the- GAZETTE stood
upon its hind legs and elled to the

the “bright little daily.” There isn’t

Of course—there isn’t. ' It is only
when the “circulation”'_editor of the
Hour gets to reeling off his secre, that

the doubt comes in.

Many of our residents will remem-
ber Theodore, familiarly called ‘ ‘Dos , ”
the bright and genial youngest broth-

.er of the late Captain William Merritt,

who was first mate and general busi-
ness manager of the market sloop Ma-
ry Willis, that used to ply between
Norwalk and New York away back in
the forties and fifties. The history of
this popular favorite of forty years ago
is a sad one. He was taken violently
ill with typhoid fever on one of his trips
down to New York, was taken to the
hospital where he became insane, was
thence removed to the Hartford asy-
lum, where he- remained till the Mid-
dletown asylum was opened and thence
transferred to it, where he now is mild-
ly, but hopelessly insane, after a con-
finement of more than forty years.

Of course the above is not true, but
if any paper knows all about “left-

stormy Saturday. Had the Canaanite
called at its office no doubt the “circu.

Yesterday morning the digging gang
of the new'water main, having no work
to do and their boss,Tony,being absent,
took the opportunity to create a dis-
turbance. About 12 o’clock some 30 of
them came down to where the pipe-
gang in charge of Foreman Anderson
and the engineer were working, and be-
gan to abuse Anderson, who stood it as
long as he could, but at last knocked
the leader into the ditch. Sezing a
crowbar he sprang up and headed the
the crowd in an assault on Anderson,
and would probably have done him in-

beaten off the. gang to their shan-
ties. When Tony appeared, more blood
was spilled and it is asserted that three
of the Italians have not stopped run-

ANOTHER BARN B'Ul'lNED.

At about quarter to 9 last evening an
alarm of fire aroused the residents of
the borough, and there wasla general
turningout-to see what was going this
time. ‘It was found to be the barn on
the James estate leased by Dr. Dexter
Hitchcock, in' which he keeps two
horses, 9. colt and a cow in the daytime,

When the firemen arrived the barn was
burning furiously, and the crackling
of the flames could be heard quite "a
distance, and the red glare brilliantly
illuminated the immediate vicinity.
The hay and straw in the hay. mow was
looseand the slight breeze that was
blowing fanned the fire, so that the
“tongues of flame” darted in snake-
like fashion from between the cracks
of the siding of the barn. Hope hose
company had a powerful stream of
water on the flames before the alarm.
ceased, the Phoenix hose buréting three
times before they did effectual work,
but after putting three jackets over the
bursts they were able to direct a good
sized stream on the conflagration. On
account of the barn being close along.
side of a larger one, it was seen that to
save the adjoining property the burn-
ing building must be torn down and
orders were given the Pioneers to raze
it to the ground. The Pioneers then
got their large grappling hook and
drag rope fastened onto one end, and
after one or two sturdy pulls, there
Was a crash and a large part came to
the ground. The work- was greatly
admired by the crowd of spectators,
and as the blazing timbers succumbed
to the pulling and fell away from the
other barn near it, a murmur of ap-
plause cheered the boys. The Nor-
walk Fire Department did splendid
work, as usual. Too much can not be
said in praise of these fire laddies, who
work far better than many a well-paid,
well-equipped department in large
cities. To the fine work of these men
the citizens of Norwalk are indebted
for the preservation of a vast amount
of property. From the fact that fires
are becoming alarmingly frequent it
would s‘eem that the fire-bug is again
among us. This is the third fire on
the past three Friday nights, the first,
itwillbe remembered. occurring on the
night of the Jackson burglary.
_ NOTES.

The boys were out in a jiffy.

More hose is needed and badly, too.

Two more lengths of hose burst last
night, which leaves the department
with only 700 feet.

Captain Martin, of the truck, not
only rushed around the fire in great
shape last night, but he rushed the sea-
son as well. He was there sporting a
straw hat.

The reason the stream of the Phoe-
nix boys was not as powerful as that of
Hope Hose, was on account of the differ-
ent kinds of hose used by the two com-
panies, the Phoenix being the weak
cotton rubber-lined hose and the Hopes
being the new rubber hose bought
about two years ago, and which is still
good and strong.

The court of burgesses, without even
the asking, ought to appropriate
enough to purchase a dozen pairs of
rubber boots and a dozen rubber coats
fOr each company, to be carried on the
apparatus, so that the boys on answer-
ing an alarm need not get their clothes
spoiled.

Quite a number of our firemen were
enjoying the performance at the Opera
House last evening who promptly
ansWered the alarm, and their clothing
was damaged not a little by the water
and debris.

threw up his situation as ticket agent
in Norwalk of the Danbury and Nor-

months ago from Syracuse, N. Y., and,
so far as known, gave satisfaction to
his employers as well as to the general
public. It had been known for some
time that there had been more or less
friction between Agent Gould, (who is
directly responsible for the affairs of
both the Norwalk and South Norwalk
stations,) and Mr. Hoyt, the latter con-
tending that he owed allegiance direct-
ly to the company, and not to Mr.
Gould. The latter thought otherwise
and Mr. Hoyt settled his accounts yes-

SUICIDE AT .WINNIPIIUK.

Mrs. Kate Riley Puts an End to Her
Troubles With Paris Green.

 

 

 

Mrs Kate Riley and her husband oc-
cupy the Perkins house just above the
new mill in Winnipauk. For some
time she had been addicted to the use
of alcoholic stimulants, and indulged
in frequent sprees. Last evening when
her husband came home, she complain-
ed of illness and asked him to send for
a physician. Thinking she was in her
somewhat normal condition he paid no
attention to her request and went to
bed. This morning Mrs. Riley was
found dead on a lounge, with her limbs
drawn up, her features distorted. and
other indications that she had died in
great agony, while scattered about was
more or less paris green, the indica-
tions being that she had chosen this
method of putting an end to her
existence. Up to 9 o’clock this morn-
ing Medical Examiner Burke had not
been notified of the suicide, the first
intimation he had of it coming from a
DAILY GAZETTE representative.

At 9.30, Dr. Burke and Undertaker
Raymond were notified of the suicide
and the latter proceeded to the
house and prepared the remains
for burial. The GAZETTE is in-
formed that Mrs. Riley is the we-
man whose children were taken from
her a few months ago and sent to the
Home, because of the intemperate hab-
its of their parents and the general
wretchedness and squalor of their
home.

NUMBER 18.

A

Evert Quintard.

The oldest resident of Norwalk and
the oldest member of the First Congre-
gational Church, peacefully passed
away, at his home, 148 Main street, at
ten minutes past ‘six, this morning, in
the 94th year of his age. He was born
at “Old Well,” now South Norwalk,
Jan. 24th, 1798. His great-grandfather
came to Norwalk from France in the
seventeenth century, he having been
driven out of that country in the great
Huguenot insurrection. His grandfath-
er and father were born at ‘ ‘Old Well,”
and at the age of sixteen he was ap-
prenticed to the cabinet-maker’s trade
to Talman Hanford, who then lived in
the old house now standing on the
Southwest corner of Camp street and
North avenue. He removed, with
Hanford, thence to the Old Captain
‘Matheis Hubbell house now standing
at the corner of Main and North Union
avenue. Here he finished his trade
and worked as journeyman for a year
anda half, when he bought the old
cabinet shop and moved it up to just
above his late residence. He carried
on business there for several years and
then opened a store on the site of the
present Joseph Shepherd building, on
Wall street. H ere he took histwo sons,
William L. and France E., into co-
partnership. Thence a removal
was made across the street into the
present Platt Price building, and while
here he purchased the brick building
on the corner of Wall and Knight
streets, where the cabinet and under-
taking business was carried on by the
firm until his retirement in 1870, his
sons continuing the business. He was
twice married. His first wife was a
Miss Whitney, a direct descendant
of the first miller, to whom
the “original town proprietors”
granted the lands now occupied by the
GAZETTE Building and Hale’s Drug
Store. His second wife was a Mrs.
St. John, a widow lady of Darien, who
died some twenty years ago.‘ He had
three children by his first wife, only
one of whom, Mr. E. E. Quintard, sur-
vives. He leaves eight grandchildren,
and ten great grandchildren.

He never would accept oflice, yet al-
ways took an interest in church, town
andlpublic affairs. He was the originator
and prime mover in the establishment
of Union Cemetery, and was always
deeply interested in its care and presrr-
vation. He was a man of remarkable
physical and mental strength, and
was at work in his garden as late
as last Friday. His memory was as
clear and strong as in the prime of
manhood. His death was as quiet and
peaceful as an infant’s slumber or the
going out of a taper’s light. Of him
with eSpecial emphasis, it may be said,
“He was an honest man.”

Obituary.

There passed from earth to the be-
yond, at a quarter-past ten, last night,
one of the aged and notable characters
of Norwalk, in the person of MRS. HEN-
BY KELLOGG. She was familiarly
known to three generations past, as
“Auntie” Currence Kellogg, and as an
angel of mercy to the sick and dying,
in every part of our town. No family
were ever in trouble and needed her help
that she did not drop all and hurry to
their assistance. Probably no one per-
son in all Norwalk ever attended the
last moments of so many of the dying,
or laid out and prepared their remains
for sepulchre as she. Nights and days
without number and without rest. has
she passed at the bedside of the suffer-
ing and always freely as a labor of love
to the afflicted. Her consort, Henry
Kellogg, died some three years ago,
and she has been gradually failing ever
since, till at last, the white angel of
peace and rest came and bore her to
the eternal home. It is a singular co-
incidence that her death occurred on
the day of the 21st anniversary of the
demise of her eldest son, Henry 0.
Kellogg. Her funeral will be on Tues-

day.

Th. 0. A. NOTES.

The song service to-morrow after-
noon will be held as usual at 4 o’clock,
and all young men are invited to attend
it. The address will be delivered by
Dr. T. K. Noble of the Congregational
church.

The members of the senior base elect
ball club will meet this evening at 8
o’clock to choose a manager and cap-
tain.
