This is now the third day, says the
Courant, s.nce certain sons of Belial,
Houston, Tex., not only turned off the
gas in the middle of the Rev. Sam
Jones’ sermon butpelted the Rev. Sam
himself with elderly eggs and we don’t

the express train that ran into the
freight at West Haven, on Tuesday
morning, in trying to make a “flying
switch.” The Chief brought home with
him a long pine splinter off of one of

that no one was seriously hurt, but the
Consolidated road is proverbially the
luckiest road in existence.

urday someone claiming to have author-
ity from the town, sawed the spiles off
and threw them into the water. Mr.

day. The cause of the trouble is as to

sociation, is engaged in preparing a

FIRE IN NEW GANAAN.
The Hoyts’ Barns Again Destroyed 1
At about 11: 45 o’clock on Tuesday
night fire was discovered issuing from
the hay loft of the Stephen Hoyt Sons’
big barn. The Hoyts and their large
force of men were hurried out as soon
as possible and everything, movable
gotten out, except a hundred and more
tons of hay and over a thousand bush-
els of cats, which with the barn were
entirely censumed. The cows and an-
imals were also hurried from their two
large animal barns, and every effort
made to save these two structures, but
to no avail for they in turn were quick-
ly consumed. Then desperate efforts
were made to save their horse barn,
which luckily were more successful,
owing to its slate roof and tinned sides.
This building is somewhat scorched but
not seriously damaged, while the other
three barns were consumed.
The Hoyts had about $6, 000 on these
three barns and contents, with agent
0. E. ‘VVilson, which will about cover
loss on buildings, leaving their hay and
grain, iixtu1 es etc. , as total losses.
Their loss over and above insurance is
thought to be about $3, 000, aside from
loss of time, inconvenience and vexa-
tions in rebuilding, which cannot be es-
timated. \Vhile it is possible that the
fire could have originated by sponta-
neous combustion, the almost univer-
sal fear is that these repeated fires are
the work of some soulless incendiary
The parade Monday night, of the
Knights of Columbus, advertising their
excursion, was greeted by an unusual-
ly large crowd of sight-sears, even for
Norwalk,and all on account of Dwyer’s
new brass band. The instruments were
new and bright, the unifbrms new and
artistically beautiful and the torches
on their caps gave a pleasing novelty
to all, while their playing would have
done credit to many an older band.
There could not have been less than
from two to three thousand people lin-
ing the side-walks to greet them.
The first to call and pay respects to
Mrs. C. S. Ferry immediately on her
arrival in town Saturday night. was a
borough officers to serve legal notice
on her that curb, and gutter and side-
walk must be forth-with laid in front of.
her East avenue premises. It is such
delicate little eourtesies as these, that
make it so delightful for absentees to
hur1y home to Norw alk. If it is not
borough improvements, it is the tax
collector. who is always on hand with
p1 ompt cor diality to greet you, even
befo1e you can cast off you1 wraps, and
thus fu1nish such tendei assurances that
you are not forgotten.
Among the members of the Elephant
~ Club,who enjoyed their excursion down
the river Sunday, was Harry Leo-
bold. the popular Knight street barber.
On the way home Harry concluded that
some one should watch the remaining
provisions, which were being towed in
a small boat behind the Irene Connor,
so he jumped into a similar boat along-
side of the provision boat and enJoyed
himself with a fragrant Havana. Sud-
denly one of the party on the Connor
lost his hat and Harry, seeing it float-
ing past, mistook it for a sandwich and
made a grab at it, and of course micsed
it and. 0v e1 board he went The Con-
nor was stopped and by means of; sun-
dry boat-hooks, fish-hooks and ropes,
Harry was rescued from awatery rave.
