Doty and wife Of Newark, N. J ., were in town over Sunday, visiting relatives and friends. Nine persons were received into the church by Dr. Noble on Sunday morn- ing last at the communion service. Col. F. St. John Lockwood had our good old friend and fellow townsinan, Rev. S. B. S. Bissell, out tO ride Satur- day afternoon. About 41,000 more immigrants have arrived in New York so far this year than arrived there up to the corres- ponding period Of 1890. Sidney Guthrie. of Co. G, 10th Ct.

The communion service used at Grace church for the first time yesterday, was the gift of the children of the late Edwin Hoyt, in memory of their de- parted parents. The shopmates of Miss Maud Nisbitt, winner of the gold watch in the recent contest, bought, and presented to her, to-day, a pretty gold chain and charm as an indication of their esteem for her.

What-is said to be the largest block of stone ever quarried now lies on the ground at the Vinalhaven granite quar- ries Of Maine. It is a solid‘shaft with- out a crack or flaw, 115 feet long and 10 feet square at the base. The great difficulty will be in moving it, for it is 850 tons in weight. Benjamin P. Hutchinson, the famous Chicago wheat speculator, was called “Old Hutch" to distinguish him from “Young Hutch, ”his eldest son, Charles Hutchinson, who has been president of the Board of Trade and of the Young Men’s Christian Association. He is now at the head of a large bank, of whichhis father is the principal owner. The funeral of Mrs. Catharine Riley of Winnipauk, took place this morning from St. Mary’s church. This unfor- tunate woman was but a few years since a thoroughly respectable and accom- plished woman, for a long time aseam- stress in the family Of Mr. Butterworth of Winnipauk and New York. Like millions of others of our fallen human- ity, she was destroyed by strong drink. RevxS. T. Graham,the new Rector of St. Paul’s, made a pleasing impression upon his people in his ministrations yesterday. His morning text was Paul’s wordsz—“For I determined to know nothing among you but Christ and him crucified,” his emphasis being strong on the word “nothing.” At the close of his service he expressed the earn- est hope that the people of his charge would continue their love and rever- ence for their late Rector Rev. C. M. Selleck, and that they could in no oth- er way so acceptably to him, show their regard and affection toward their new Rector. « . »—_—_~— _. TUESDAY. The current rumors that Messrs. Perrin and Cogill, of the Housatonic road, had been dismissed from the company’s employ, are declared with- out foundation by Secretary Porter. The Gentlemen’s Driving Associa- tion have their track on the Fair Grounds in good condition for use and their friends are invited to come and test the speed of their trotters at their pleasure. Hanlon Bros." exhibit a telegraphic order from D. N. Wilson of New York, for 100 dozen coffee mills to be shipped at once, which they claim is due to the announcement made in the DAILY GA- ZETTE of their receipt of a car load of the same a short time ago. That great English mastifi', which has been one of the leading attractiOns at Mrs. Mead’s Hillside school, died this morning Of acute bronchitis. He was the property of the noted actress Marie Wainwright and was the constant companion of her accomplished young daughters who are students at Hillside. The noble Old fellow was faithfully at- tended by an animal doctor, and his remains properly encoflined in a spe- cially and professionally prepared box, and laid away in the bosom of our com- mon mother earth. beneath a stately apple tree which canopies his tomb with a glorious wealth of flowers and scatters its blooms with every passing breeze above his grave. A most commendable movement is on font to- have the widow of the late Major Kinney appointed to her de~ ceased husband’s unexpired term as postmaster of Hartford. It is con- ceded that she would make an excep- tionally good Official as she ispossessed of unusual executive and business ability. Yesterday afternoon Col. William H. Stevenson, vice-president and general manager of the Housatonic system, ac- companied by Superintendent F. C. Payne and Roadmaster F. C. Clark, made the annual spring inspection of the Danbury and Norwalk Division. The trip was made over the road in a special car. Borough Attorney Warner believes that under the charter the committee appointed at the special borough meet- ing as hose purchasers can do nothing, without the authority of the Court Of Burgesses. In other words the meet- ing could legally do nothing save to authorize the Burgesses to purchase the hose, either through a committee or otherwise. Of the four conductors whose ser- vices were recently dispensed with by the Housatonic Railroad company, George Brown has accepted a situation with the Queen Publishing company of Bridgeport, Samuel Arnold is running a Pullman car on the Pennsylvania road; Walter Spencer is being broken in for a conductor on the New York and New Haven road and Thomas Bart- ley is on the police force in Bridgeport. Judge Hiram K. Scott, who has been secretary of the Ridgefield and New York Railroad company that has ex- isted on paper for thepast twenty years, visited Port Chester,N. Y. , Tuesday, in the interest of that corporation. We warn the reader not to get frightened, for we do not purpose “springing” the annual chestnut that the “engine will be heard within ninety days.” The judge when interviewed was very reti- cent, however, and smiled mysterious- ly, which will doubtless lead to all sorts of surmises.—[Ridgefield Press. —————<+ WEDNESDAY. Landlord and Mrs. McPherson, of the Norwalk hotel, left town yesterday for his farm at Amenia, N. Y., expect- ing to be away until some time next week. ' Another 250 horse power engiiie for the Electric plant was shipped yester- day from the factory at Auburn, N. Y., and will probably arrive here within a week. Mrs. Lieut. Main, Mrs. Dr. Nobl’es sister, of Washington, sails on Satur- day with her two children for a year’s travel in Europe. , Mrs. Noble goes down to see them off. Veterinary surgeon Schuppan tells us that horses and dogs all over town are suffering the same as men, with the prevailing influenza, familiarly called la grippe, and that the Marie Wain- wright English mastiff died with it. Last evening Mr. and Mrs. C. Lazelle had a reception at the residence of the. bride’s parents, North avenue, and left town today for their future home, White River Junction, Vermont. Mrs. Lazelle will be kindly remembered as Miss Carrie Atwood, formerly in the employ of Scofield & Hoyt. Thirteen Of the young ladies em-- ployed at the Butler street straw hat manufactory last season, took unto themselves husbands. An unlucky number? Oh 110! For unless allsigns fail a like number from there will do likewise this season. Mr. Samuel Low, brother of Grocer George Low, of Main street, is reported quite ill, in consequence, it is said, Of an attack of nose bleed, on Monday, which lasted from early in the morning until afternoon, when the services of a physician became necessary. Mr. Edward A. Street, representa- tive Of the New York company which manufactures what is known as the Maltese Cross Carbolized rubber hose, was in town, yesterday, hoping to effect a sale to the borough. This is the brand Of hose purchased by Mr. Franke and which stood every test admirably. At Company F’s annual meeting last evening the following cOmpany officers were elected: Recording Secretary Charles J. Betts, Financial Secretary Joseph A. Carier, Treasurer Lieut. Henry Matheis, Financial Committee 4 Sergt. William E. Buxton, Corporal V. . Sterling and William James. Recruit— ing Committee Lieut. Matheis, Sergt.. Wilcoxson and Corp. Radie. The members of the Court Martial will 'be appointed next Tuesday. And now it is Attorney and State Senator Seyniour, who is seen betimes. loitering about Potter’s and Jackson’ s, looking wistfully and covetously at their attractive array of seductive bicy-’ cles. This disease is rapidly becoming epidemic and Seymour has been dread- fully exposed and is liable to be the. next victim. However, whatever he. 'betakes himself to, he is very liable to master, and he ought to be encouraged in his hankering after the dizzy 'wheel, because he may be compelled to back out on his Hartford "reconstruction policy, and if so, would naturally want to make a rapid retreat. THURSDAY. Miss Belle Curry late or New Haven, was in town to- day visiting friends. She was en route for Dan'bury. The recount in Norwich shows pnly 233 ballots for Morris. 4 The unoficial count last fall gave him 276 votes. On the recount Morris’n'et loss is 44 votes.

Banks, for- merly of Norwalk, the city surveyor of Superior. George Hoyt, a mason, fell from the top of Charles Benedict’s house on Cherry street, New Canaan, yesterday, and sustained severe and it is feared, fatal injuries. - The lawn tennis court was the thea- tre of unusual interest last evening. The huge steam roller was employed to' run up and down its smooth and level surface, to pack it down to the hardness of a board floor, a work in which it effectually succeeded. We have it on. the authority Of a friend of the interested parties that Mr. Samuel Morehouse, son of Consta- ble Morehouse, is to wed Miss Kate Burtis this month, and that nextmonth Miss Burtis’s sister Annie is to wed Mr. James Hanford, of East Norwalk. W. H. Lockwood will give “Gossip J r.” his first real track exercise of the season to- day. His best time is record- ed as 2.13—, but it is believed he can do still better in the near future. Mr. Lockwood went to Dorlon’s Point to- day after another horse, and every stall in his stables is now occupied. A letter received from Dr. Bridges, states that he should start for home to- day. He was not quite certain whether he would come by rail or take steamer from Savannah. He was quite home- sick 'and was resolved to remain south no longer, although friends advised him not to return too soon. The new 250 horse power engine at the Electric Light plant was notstarted up yesterday, but will be this after- noon. The tests, under supervision of a mechanic from Auburn, N. Y., will be thordligh and are likely to continue through the afternoon. If everything goes off satisfactorily the engine will do its first work for Norwg‘lk to- night. Dann’ s car load of New York state horses, reached South Norwalk this morning, where they were unloaded and brought up to the Bridge. They comprise a careful selection Of the ' finest animals that could be found in the region most noted for raising blood- ed horse stock of the best quality, and it will well repay one to visit Dann’ s stable to see them: The will of the late Samuel H. Barnes of Wilton, bequeaths $1,000 to his wid— ow in addition to an ante-nuptial settle- ment, dev1ses his homestead to Bradley Gorham, a son of Nelson B.

Spaulding has informed the collector of customs at Bridgeport, Conn., that a ' special deputy can make appraisements Only in case of the absence or disability of the collector, and that, therefore, the duty imposed by law upon the collector in regard to appraisements cannot be permanently delegated. , In speaking of Miss Ada Dyas’ ren- dition of ' the character of Mrs. Sea- brook, in Captain swift,the Pittsburgh . ‘Dispatch pays that ' accomplished lady the following compliment: “There is no reason why Mrs. Seabrook, the mother of Captain Swift, should not I command our pity and respect,, but as Miss Ada Dyas embodies the character, ‘ its positive demand upon our sympa- thies is simply irresistible. It is an ex- qui‘site type of the high-born woman that Miss Dyas presents; a woman of acute sensibility and refinement, Whose maternal instinct triurimhs over every ' conventional claim the world, 'caste and . family pride prefer, even though it, bring the bitterness of Shame in the sight of which death loses its sting. In all the nineties of 'by-pla'yand facial ex- pression, ’as‘ .well as in the grander strokes of dramatic action Miss'Dyas showed her wanted mastery of art.” ” Goalfiiiiiitive The Most Successful llaliunal Building, and Loan Assouialion.
