That Supper.
[B3 our Special Correspondent.‘ J

In response to the invitation issued
by the invitation committee. as pub-
lished in the DAILY GAZETTE on Tues-
day, party of would- be lieutenant
groomers gathered at Quintard’ s Hall
last evening to elect a lieutenant of
Company F, and devou1 four quarts of
beans.

While the partv put on all the gaiety
possible yet sadness could be depicted
upon every countenance, while now
and then a tear drop would steal down
the pallid cheek of the committeemen
as they,, Crazed at one another and real-
ized the fact that Reuben was not
among them, and that they were with-
out a chairman. Such questions as
“Will he fail us? ” “Will Reuben pay
the freight ? ” ‘ Do you think we are
stuck?” flew thick and fast without an
answering Reuben.

Pulling themselves together by a
gr eat effort, theyg orathered ’round their
feast each making a heroic effort to
swallow the lump in his throat before
the beans went around. The pro-
gramme was long and tedious owing to
the fact that too many wanted to speak.
A banjo duet by Miller & Partrick, a
vocal duet by McMann .8: Noonan anda
clog dance by Prof. Beecher, were well
rendered, while the best part of the
evening’s entertainment was the exhi-
bition given by the ‘ Three Little
Coons.’ , Speeches were made by But-
tery, James and the four Honneckers,
which were gems of oratory, especially
that of George when he launched into
politics and tariff.

Poor Committeeman James made the
only error of the evening. He had
drawn himself to his full height and
spouted, “Mr. Chairman: We promise
our candidate, Smith, nigh onto forty
votes.” when glancing at the head of
the table for freight-paying Reuben’s
approval, he met the intellectual coun-
tenance of PowderlyBetts, (who wished
the d—n DAILY GAZETTE would sink ,)
smiling a rose- smile at him, which
caused poor James to go off into a dead
faint. But the greatest speech of the
evening was made by the Hon. Frank-
1111 Dougherty Honnecker, who stated
that he was ,not much on speech
making, but a rattler
Franky then related the following.
dream. “One evening after being
treated to several beers, I went to bed
and dreamed that I was working in
Norman Austin’s iron foundry. One
day about 11 o’clock Mr. Austin 'came
into the room and called out, ’Franky

bring me one of those spiders.’ I im~
mediately left my work and going to
the rear of the foundry I climbed upon
a beam and crawled upon my stomach
all over the rafters, but nowhere could
I finda spider’s web. While thus en-
gaged Mr. Austin came back and spy-
ing me up on the rafters wanted to
know what the deuce I was doingthere.
‘Looking for spiders as you told me, I
answered.’ 'Come down you fool, I
want one of those iron spiders the men
are casting.’ To say that I was
ashamed would not do justice to my
feelings, in fact I was almost as asham-
ed as I am to be here.” '
This dream “took the loaf" and the
party broke into such a roar that our
friends, the Odd Fellows, had to ad-
j earn their meeting across the street on
account of the yells and screams.
Among the prominent people present
werezi-Oliver Burton, Sergt. J Ohn Lat-
son, Jr.,Samuel Bonner and reporter
Thomas. ' '

Remembers the Christening-_

Few people who meet Norwalk’s like-
ly and popular janitor, Mr. Charles P.
Addison, are aware of the fact that
when he was a young man, that is, a
younger man than he is now, he was a
member of the household ,, of the late
Commodore Garner, whose yacht Mo-
hawk was capsized ofi' Staten Island a
few years ago. The family name .has
been brought into prominence again of
late by the marriage of Miss Florence
to Sir William Gordon Cumming, of
baccarat notoriety. Yesterday“ Mr.
Addison saw a statement in- the New
York Press in effect that Miss Florence
as the oldest daughter of Commodore
Garner. This is an error. There were
'our daughters. one of whom is dead,
but no sons, and Miss Florence was
the second daughter, Miss Leta being
the oldest and Miss Adella the young-
est. While serving as butler’s appren-
tice in Commodore Garner’s household,
(his chief duty being to look after the
food for the children), Mr. Addison
was an interested witness of the chris-
tening of Miss Florence.

. Benefit Concert.

The NorwaI‘k'Lawn Tennis club have
arranged an unusually brilliant and
entertaining programme for their en-
tertainment'at the Opera House to-
night and certainly deserve, as they-
no doubt Will have, a crowded audience.
All the parties selected to participate
in the entertainment are first class in
their respective parts. Miss May Col-
yer, of whom least is .known by Nor-
walk audiences perhaps, is considered
unrivaled in dialect characters. She
recited recently for the American Le-
gion of Honor, Associated Councils at
Cooper Institute, before an audience
of over three 'thodsand and was more
enthusiastically encored than any of
the others who took part in the enter-
tainment. No amateur is rated as her
superior in the characters she repre-
ents. Our advice is to go early if you
ant good seats.

The London ’Bus Strike. .

LONDON, June 12.-The strike of the em-
ployee of the omnibus and road car com-
panies of this city continues.‘ There is ap-
parently no change in the situation. The
road car company has announced that as
its 'buses are not running it cannot afford
to continue the payment of wages to the
men who have. remained loyal to the com-
pany. The latter consequently must now
sufier with the strikers, while it is possi-
ble, in addition, that the latter will refuse
to allow them any share of tin moneythat
the agentsof the strikers have been col
looting in the public thoroughfares' 1n or
der to enable the men to hold out agaiisi
the companies. The road car company do-
clares th‘atif i1: concededthedemands of
its employes for higher wages it would be
obliged to stop running its ’buses.

John S Sargent, the ranch partner of

McCabe testified positively'that. McCrystal

a mistrial or acquittal if he got on the
Hennessy jury. Detective O’Malley’s case
was called, but when McCrystal‘s confes-
sion to the district attorney was offered as
testimony the judge ruled it out. The
ruling saves O’Malley, as this is the only
evidence the state has connecting him di-
rectly with the bribery cases.
