Two young men living in East Nor- walk, while out sailing Saturday even- ing, were “dumped” near the can buoy. Fortunately for them another young man (from the borough) was near by in his boat and came to their rescue, and brought them to this city. At the time the boat overturned one of the party was playing “Annie Roone ” on a har- monica. It came near ad ing another to the long list of those whom it has killed. A Bridgeport gentleman at the City Hotel, while reading in 3. Norwalk weakly, an account of the scarcity of water here, and in other towns, re- marked that Bridgeport was in the same fix, and it was a wonder, because there ought not to be a great demand for water, where the chief beverage was whiskey and beer; but he thought the condition in New York city was far worse, because they had to put a “new Fassett” in the Custom House. A poor Italian at .work digging the trenches for the new water main on Spring Hill, was badly injured on Mon- from an improperly covered rockvblast. Builder John Rowe’s team was pro- cured and he was sent down to his boarding place at Whistleville. Resi- dents on the hill complain that their houses and yards are frequently show~ ered by stones, hurled intothe air from these improperly covered blast. The Consolidated railroad in its four tracking operations at Five Mile River, has managed to set on fire a large bog marsh, which proves to be a rich de- posit of peat and which is so fiercely burningin consequence of the drought, that all efforts to extinguish the fire have thus far proved unavailing. The heavy showers of Saturday morning made no impression on the flames. The pungent odor of the smoke is now spreading over all the near-by towns and is. quite annoying to those out O’evenings. W. B. Hall Sr 00., the dry goodsmen of Bridgeport, are giving special bar- gains in their two back buildings while extensive improvements are going on in their front store. The Morning News of the 14th speaks thus of their Cannon street entrance : “Since W. B. Hall St on Cannon street, it’s wonderfulwhat a stream of callers they have had. The proverbial ‘side door’ evidently has its fascinations, and the search for bargains in ‘mixed’. stocks remains unslacked, though this great price-cutting house are still doing their best to meet all de- mands. It is doubtful that no other dry goods house in this county could have met such an avalanche of custom- ers from Port Jefferson to Great Bar- rington, supplied their every want and continued business right along at the 91d stand, without extensivezreplenish- ing of stocks. That the last vestige of accumulated stocks may disappear ef- fectuall before the re-opening, W. B. Hall & o. are making the reductions such that patrons of the ‘side door’ will go away thoroughly intoxicated with delight over their purchases. The sur- plus of dress goods, corsets, underwear, notions, etc., is disappearing like dew- ‘drops before the rising sun.” ———-———-—-—<—o- .You hardly realize that it is a medi- cine, when taking Carter’s Little Liver Pills: they are very small; no bad ef- fects; all troubles from torpid liver are relieved by their use. . WHERE HE PUT HIS ARM. ,He stood outsidethe gale awhile, And said "Good night.‘ with lovesick smile. “Good night." she said. “Good night," once more - . He muttered as he‘d done before. And then, lured by some subtle charm. He came‘inside and put his arm—— She wore a hat of jaunty shape, Tied up with some soft clinging crape, A truant ribbon from its peak Strayed down and kissed her dimpled cheek. . The moon was full, the hour was late: As they stood there beside the gate His love, by Cupid’s bellows fanned, Blazed up. He took her little hand And muttered, "Dear. what is the harm?" And then he gently put his arm—- She wore a. gown of creamy white So filmy that a fairy might Have spun it in an hour of thrift, And sent it to her as a. gift. The moon reflected. “Three’s a crowd," And then politely sought a cloud. With opportunity so near. His love welled strong and banished fear, He smiled away her first alarm. And then he gently put his arm—- A little bird came round next day And told me that ’twas just this way: He put his arm as thus they stood, “'here it would do the greatest good. —Clothier and Furnisher. An Honest Lad. It wasn’t over a. minute after a man had climbed into a bootblack’s chair on the Bowery the other hot day before his head began to nod, and the boy had only begun work when his customer was sound asleep. The work went ahead just the same, however, and after both shoes were completed the lad went over them twice more. He then knocked on the man’s feet with his brush and woke him up. “Wash 1 shleep?” thickly queried the customer. “Yes." “Shine ’em up five times?" “No; only three." “Thinght ’twas five times. Only three, eh? Honest boy. Thas right—always be honest. Here’s your money.” He paid him thirty cents and climbed down and went his way, saying: “Like that boy. He might have beat me out of twenty cents, but he was too honest!"—New York Evening World. ‘ Got a Prescription. I was talking to a. man 'in Union square the other day who said he was ill, and it was natural enough to ask him why he didn‘t go and see a doctor. “I was at a free hospital only yester- day." “What did the doctor say?" “Why, sir. he looked at me a. minute and then yells out, ‘Run out your tongue!’ 1 runs her out, and then he waves his hand and yells, ‘All you need is fresh air—git? " ' “Perhaps that’s what you are in want of.” “Yes, perhaps so, being as I have sat here all day and slept out on a. vacant lot every blessed night for a month.”— New York Evening World.
