Yesterday was the eleventh anniver- sary ofDouglas Fowler Post, G. A. R. and the occasion was fittingly observed by a grand bean bake in which mem- bers of Hobbie Post, Stanford; Mc- Donough Post, Westport and James E. Moore Post, Danbury, participated. The headquarters were crowded as never before. The address of welcome, a cordial one, was made by Comman- der Tuttle, after which a raid was made on the commissary and his store of beans, hardtack, hoecake and coffee, were made to suffer in an unsparing manner, but there was a sufficient sup- ply for twice the demand. After appe- tites had been appeased, speeches were made by Supt. Coe of the Soldiers’ Home, Department Commander Fan- ton, OfDanbury; Commander Quien, of Danbuiiy ; Mayor Wescomb, of Stam- ford, and epartment Chaplain D. H. Miller, of Mystic. The latter gentle- man, who replied to a cold water toast, confessed to beinga Baptist minister, and incidentally remarked that he had during his life baptized over 10,000 per- sons,'and added that in looking over the assemblage he saw some, whom if called upon to immerse, he .would be tempted to hold under longer than the usual limit (just in the spirit of fun you know.) His speech was a happy one. Commander Bradley, of Buckin ham Post, was also one of the spea ers. Army songs were sung, pipes smoked and stories told, pleasant memories re- vived and ahappy time had all around. The visiting posts left for the railroad station at about ten o’clock, and camp broke soon after. The event will be a Iliaienéorable one in the annals of the os. , . Earthquake In Mlsslsslppl. A A shock of earthquake was felt at Burnsville, Miss, yesterday morning. Five other distinct shocks were felt be- fore 3 p. m. ’ Each shock was preceded by a rumbling noise like heavy thun- dar, with the exception of the third, which occurred at 11.20 a. in. That was accompanied by a sound like a gun or a clap of thunder. A Trying Situation. Last evening as the 4.57 down ex- press hal ted at Bridgeport,some expert pick pocket placed himself at the front entrance of one of the cars and did a lively business in relieving ladies of their pocket books, as the crowds of passengers pressed out and into the cars. One lady, who had occupied the seat in front of the GAZETTE’S scribe down from New Haven, and whose ticket was for Bridgeport, hurried “out of the car, and in a moment came rush- ing back to the seat she had just va- cated, sa, ing she had lost her pocket- book wit all her money. She hustled Out the new occupants of her seat and made a hurried search for the lost treasure, but it could not be found and then she flew for the door to get off again, as the train had already begun to move. This ripple of excitement induced another matronly lady, who had entered the cars at Bridgeport en route to New York, with her two young lady grown daughters, and taken seats near where the unfortunate Bridgeport lady had sat, to feel for her pocket- book. She stood up in the seat and for several seconds clawed at the back skirts of her dress and finally gave it a vicious twitch around to the irOnt, when she found the entrance to her rear hung pocket. Diving her hand down into its mysterious depths, till her arm had disappeared to a point above the elbow, she turned suddenly as white as a ghost and then shrilly ex- claimed, “Why, I’ve lost my pocket- book too, with all my money and my tickets and trunk check.” This greatly excited the two daughters,who crowded about the now distracted mother and they proceeded to dig into the appar- ently fathomless depths of that dress pocket, access to which was only from behind. They extracted handkerchiefs, loves, keys and about every thing a ady may be supposed to carry, but no pocketbook, when the poor girls sank down into their seats perfectly over- come, and one of them unable to con- trol herself, cried like a little child. This awakened general sympathy among all the passengers as their weep- ing was “the touch of nature that makes us all kin,” and several gentle- men went to the mother to learn the full extent of her trouble. She said she lived at Potsdam, N. She had been visiting at Bridgeport, and had ’ust purchased three tickets at the ridgeport depot for New York,' and checked her trunk there. She put her three tickets to New York, and the trunk scheck into her pocketbook, where she also had three five dollar bills and some smaller notes, and most of all,ber return tickets from New York to Potsdam, which cost nine dollars each. All were gone and she five hun- dred miles from home without money or friends. Their situation was really distressing to all the passengers of the car. The mother found the key to her trunk in her pocket, and said she could pick it out when she reached the Grand Central depot, describe its contents and then unlock it to verify her owner- ship, though the pick pocket had her check. . In conversing with the conductor he said be strongly suspected that the thief was then in the smoker on his way down from the Derby races to New York. But whether he could be arrested was doubtful. It was a most. trying situation for these ladies and will teach them at least to build a pocket in their dresses hereafter, that is not easier of access to a thief than to its owner and wearer. —--————————-*- o o r A Feast for Bargain Hunters. The big carpet firm of John and James Dobson with mills at Schuylkill 'Falls, with stores in' New York and Philadelphia, is known as the leading concern of its kind in this country. .. No other house has made such great progress in the production of Fine Car- pets and Rugs; their remarkable en- terprise and untiring energy have done much towards developing and fostering in this country the industry to which they have given so many years Of in- telligent and careful attention. The New York House is under the im- mediate direction of Mr. John Van Gaasbeek, a manager who is in every way qualified for the important posi- tion which he fills ; the effect of his watchful eye upon every detail of the business is seen in the excellent results produced. An immense lJt- of Oriental Rugs, the entire stock of an importer has recently been purchased, and are displayed for the inspection Of purchasers at the New York House of the firm, Nos. 40 and 42 West 14th street, New York. In the stock are handsome Silk Can- dahars, Meccas, Royal Agras, Persians, Daghestans and other varieties of those beautiful products for which Oriental looms have remained unrivalled. These Rugs arrange in size and color to suit any apartment and among them are one thousand antique and modern Daghestans of the finest quality, rang- ing in price from $4. 75 to $22. 50. When such bargains are offered by a house of the eminent standing of this one, purchasers may know that they are actually receiving more than the worth of their money ; having been purchased at a great sacrifice, they are offered in the same way. 4A_ ‘vr A Little Hero. Yesterday afternoon about 3 o’clock, a DAILY GAZETTE scribe met Mr. Ed- gar Jerome and a middle a ed woman supporting a small boy wit one arm wrapped in bandages, and whose pale face indicated pain, hastening past Comstock Bros. On inquiry the scribe ascertained that the boy’s name was ,George Hewlett and that he had been caught ina lathe at the Jerome Paper Company’s factory. Accompanying the parties to the office of Dr. Walter Hitchcock, the scribe saw thebandages unwrapped exposing aragged V shap- ed cut on the left forearm of the lad. The muscles of the arm were exposed . to view and some of them were badly lacerated. With rare skill the doctor sewed up the ragged ound and re- bandaged the arm, whil the little he- ro watched him without a tear. in his eye or aloud expression of pain. I N ORWALK, CONN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1891. Double Birthday Party. Master George and Miss Alice Cram are not twins and yet by a curious com- bination of circumstances over which these very pleasant young people had no control, they were both born in Oc- tober, and not only in the same month but on the same day Of the month, October 15th, though in different years. To duly celebrate so singular and interesting state of facts, some twenty or so of their little friends treated them, last evening to a genu- ine surprise party. The misses all came robed in the regulation birthday white, while the young masters, while not as pretty of face or as bewitchingly at- tired as the girls, were nevertheless sufliciently well dressed, well appear- ing and well behaved, to win the com- pliment of all,being “little gentlemen.” The evening was spent in the usual and intensely delightful way only known to and realized and enjoyed by innocent childhood, and the occasion was one that will_long be remembered by all the hilariously happy participants. Railroad Commissloners Meeting. The railroad commissioners at their meeting yesterday ordered gates placed at the Monroe and Mechanic street railroad crossings. We have it on au- thority that the present signal tower near the water tank at this station is to be placed on wheels in the course of three or four weeks, and removed to East Norw.-.lk,while the one at Whistle- ville will be brought to the Monroe street crossing and gates erected there to be Operated directly from the tower. Gates have been long needed at this pomt, it being a very dangerous one, especially when east bound trains that do not stop at the station pass it at some fifty miles an hour. < o+———————— Allerton Wins Again. Twenty-five thousand persons wit- nessed the races at Lexington yester- day, most Of whom were attracted by the sensational contest between Aller- ton and Delmarch for $5,000.

Opera House. “She Couldn’tMarry Three,” headed by the young and charming soubrette, Lillian Kennedy, played to a large audience at the Opera House last even- ing. The play is well written and is adapted in every respect to Miss Ken- nedy’s varied talents. The company was an unusually good one, the “Dave Holt” of Mr. E. P. Sullivan deserving special mention, and the scenery the best that has been seen at the Opera House for some time. Manager Adams is deserving Of a great deal of praise for furnishing the theatre-going people of Norwalk with such excellent plays. The Quo Warranto Suits. After repeated consultations on the matter of the quO warranto 'suits, at a late hour last evening it was announced that it had been practically agreed up- on to submit a substitute motion,drawn by ex-Judge Stoddard, before Judge Thayer in the superior court at 10 o’clock this morning. At the same time it was stated that the republicans will file a demurrer and ask that the case be reserved for decision at the supreme court, which meets in Bridgeport the last Tuesday in October. Runaway on West Avenue. Raymond Brothers’ team: of mules were so eager for their evening oats, yesterday, that _ they overcame their natural instincts, and leaving the driver behind, ran down \Vest avenue with the empty coal cart at great speed. Af- ter some close shaves with passing ve- hicles, they narrowly escaped running over Mrs. Robert Van Buren and Mrs. E. W. Stuart, and were finally stopped at the lower end of the Matthews’ place. While on the run, however, they broke all previous mule records for speed. Death of General Lee. General W. H. F. Lee, second son Of General B. E.

Co. has just purchased three of the most powerful locomotives now built, to move their enormous freight and passenger traffic.
