II NEW-RAILROAD. _

Danbury to- Have aShorter Route
to 'New York.

Hat Manufacturers are the Stock-4
holders.

,- ‘The Hartford Courant of Monday
says :—Danbury is to have a new rail—
road line to New York, which will save
twenty-eight minutes of traveling time
to Danburians and afford a more direct
line for freight. A new company has
been formed, composed of local busi-
ness men, and the capital subscribed
for. The work has gone so far that the
application for the new route has been
filed in the secretary of state’s office.
The new company will construct a
branch line to Katonah, near the state
line, on the Harlem railroad, and will
there'connect with that road, running
their trains into the Grand Central
depot.

The line will be known as Ives
branch, andis the conception of Isaac
W. Ives of Danbury. A survey was
made several years ago and the new
branch wOuld have been under way last
year had not some of the Consolidated
road Ofiicials upset the scheme. This
time a new set of men took hold of the
project and perfected their plans in
secret so that the fact came out to-day
for the first time.

The new railroad link is supposed to
run parallel with. the New England
road from Danbury as far as the fair
grounds and will then branch Off to-
wards Ridgefield, and over to Katonah.
The new company anticipates trouble
from the New England and Housatonic
roads, but is ready to meet it. It is
said, however, that the New England
will not fight the new company, for the
reason that it may eventually give them
a direct route into New York. The di-
rectors Of the Ives Railroad Branch met
Saturday night and chose Daniel C.
Holly president, DanielMeeker vice-
president, E. N. Barntem secretary,
Alfred N. Wildman treasurer. The
stock is taken by the principal hat man-
ufacturers here.

Tuesday’s N. Y. Sun has this to say
additional to what appeared in the DAI-
LY GAZETTE of Monday, concerning
the new railroad line from Danbury to
New York. As the Danbury)& N or-
walk railroad stock is so largely held
by Norwalk people, this matter be-
comes Of serious interest to our citizens.

The project is an old one, but it is
exceedingly important on account of
its threatening aspect and the possibly
far-reaching results which it may have,
if carried through.

The road through Danbury, it is
stated, will be a sure thing as soon as
the capital is forth-coming. It is .im-
possible for directors of the Harlem
Railroad to take hold of the project? or
even furnish the money, because'of‘; an
Old contract between the New York,
New Haven and. Hartford and Harlem
roads that neither of the companies shall
extend its line into the other’s territory.
The Connecticut line is the boundary,
and once ‘before, when the Danbury
road was being pushed and the New
YorkCentral appeared to be interested,
the President of the New Haven road
came down in a torrent Of rage, it is
said, and shook the contract in the face
of the Central officials.

The blufl' worked that time, but there
are plenty of ways for railroads to get
around a contract, and now it looks as
if the. Danbury road would go through,
if the capital is forth-coming. It is
said to be pledged. It is not necessary
here to trace any connection with the
Central people; the New Haven oflicers
will look that up. N 0 one doubts the
purpose of the projectors. It is to give
the Harlem an entrance into Danbury,
which isa growing business town of 25,-
000 inhabitants. The new line will be
fifteen miles long, which is'eight or ten
miles shorter than via the Norwalk
division Of the New Haven road. It
would give the people of Danbury the
benefits Of competition and consequent-
ly improved service and rates.

Attention has been called to the fact
that this new connecting link would
give the New York Central a route of
240 miles tOBoston via the New York
and New England road, or about the
same length as the New Haven’s favo-
rite route via the Shore Line. Here
is a chance for a deal between the Gen-
tral and New England roads, and the
result is a parallel line to Boston with-
out building scarcely any new track at

all.

It is believed that this is what the
New Haven people have all along most
feared. The New York Central has of-
ten said that it didn’t care to buy or
lease the New England road: but a
traffic alliance of this 'kind would break
the monOpoly of the New Haven road,
and it would greatly increase the busi-
ness Of the Harlem. The New England
road will get additional trackage from
Danbury to Willimantic. Danbury is
180 miles from Boston. The New Ha-
ven road allows the New England road
a mileage of only eighty-six miles from
Willimantic to Boston.

The New. England road has a line of
its own from Hartford to Springfield,
where it connects‘with the Boston and
Albany, 9. Vanderbilt line. This would
enable the Boston and Albany to re-
ceive its share of the business the same
as it does now from the New Haven

roa . .
A deal like the one described would
rob, the New Haven road of its shortest
route to Boston, the Air line, via the
New York and New England, as well as
the Springfield route. It would leave
the New Haven read only the New Lon.-
don and Providence route, and would
gxreatly weaken its Middletown and
artferd divisions.

Despatches from Danbury say that
John B. Dutcher is backing the new
Danbury road. He is the oldest direc-
tor of the Harlem Railroad, and he has
char e of the live stock department of
the ew York Central. While Mr.
Dutcher cannot put any of his own
money into the project, being a direc-

covered people up that way who have
enough'money to build the road. Mr.
Dutcher did not wish to talk about the

TEMPERANCE RALLY.

Ringing Words from Rev. J. L.
James, Rev. F. E. Robbins and
Others.

On Monday afternoon Concord Divi-
sion, Sons of Temperance,welcomedito
their still the District Divisions of
Fairfield county. Business relating to
Division work occupied the afternoon,
after which an elegant repast was fur-
nished by the Ladies of Concord Di-
vision. In the evening the proceedings
were open and the public welcome to
listen to addresses. A good audience
was in attendance. Mr. Fred. Hawley,
Of New Canaan, presided and intro-
duced the speakers.

Rev. F. E. Robbins, of this city,
opened the exercises with prayer. The
first speaker was the Grand Worthy
Patriarch, E. P. Kendrick, of New Ha-
ven, who spoke for fifteen minutes
upon the necessity of personal respon-
sibility of every temperance man and
woman, striving as though the whole
responsibility rested upon him or upon
her. Men said : “Wait till the time is
ripe.” The English told Cromwell to
“wait until the iron was hot,” but
Cromwell replied "I will pound the
ron until it becomes hot.” Thatis the
pirit needed now, pounding all along
the line. - .

Rev. F. W. Crowder, of Five Mile
River, most eloquently brought to the
mind of, the audience the evils Of in-
temperance and portrayed with start-
ling realism, the curse that ever follows
in the trail of drink, and earnestly ap-
pealed to the friends of temperance,
for more energetic action in arousing
public sentiment to the fearful wrong
which was being perpetrated against
the peace and welfare of this commu-

mtv.

Rev. F. E. Robbins, pastor of the
First Baptist church, was the next
speaker, and spoke for 10 minutes with
characteristic earnestness. Thespeaker
said that while he recognized the great
importance of the social element in
this, as well as in church work, still
the cause appealed to him, as one de-
manding the most serious and fearless
consecration. Rebellion was not sup-
pressed by sponge cake and lemonade,
nor revolution effected by secret meet-
ings and sweet songs. The battle with
the rum seller, must be an open and
fearless one. It is business, not pleas.-
ure. It means sacrifice, calumny, os-
tracism, broken heads. Like everv
other reform, it has a fearful price, yet
that price must be paid. The rum seller
to-day is on top. Here in our city he
rules.
strance of wife or mother. He spurns
the law and defies all authority. He
assaults with impunity and almost
murders, yet is his case continued
until the public mind forgets.
The drunkards he makes run down
and almost kill innocent and help-
less women, before Our eyes, and
still no voice is heard to call a halt.
The temperance element,where is that ?
It is not even brave enough to give the
voter a chance to protest. Why, said
the speaker, there are more men strad-
ling a cider barrel, bound for that su-
preme abomination, the cider mill,
passing my house every day, than there
are honest temperance men in the
whole town. Is it not time that men
and women, who really have the inter-
est of this town at heart, cease their
kid glove tactics, call in the aid of Al-
mighty God, and put an end to this
work of the devil.

The Rev. J. L. James, of Rockville,
was the last speaker. He said that he
thoroughly endorsed every word of the
preceding speaker. He did think it
true, and he appealed to the Christian
to begin this “awakening” at home, in
the store and factory, and not to let up
anywhere.

Prof. Ferris presided at the organ
and led the singing, which, with recita-
tions by Mrs. ewis R. June and Mrs.
Emma F. Merrill, New Canaan, added
greatly to the enjoyment of the exer-
cises.

A spirit Of intense earnestness pre-

vailed, while the enthusiastic sympathy .

with the speakers promises well for a
more aggresswe act1v1ty 1n temperance
work in Norwalk.

A Brakeman Killed.

At krairfield, on Monday afternoon
about 4 O’clock, while a freight train
was passing through that place, Henry
Merritt, a brakeman, belonging in
New York, fell from one of the cars
and was run over and killed. He was
on the small platform of a freight car
attending to the brakes when rhe met
his death. ~

In some unaccountable manner he
missed his footing as the train was
nearing. the Mill Plain crossing and fell
between the cars. He held onto the
step until he reached a point where
some changes are being made in the
tracks. His dangling form struck an
obstruction and he was thrown under
the wheels which passed over his body
'ust above the thigh cutting him in two.

he remains were taken to New Haven.

Declared Off.

AtLexington Tuesday. Nancy Hanks
was found to be unfit to trot, and so the
great expected race between her and
Allerton was declared Ofi‘. To meet the
disappointment the managers announc-
ed a race between Nancy and the won-
derful stallion, Delmarch, on Thurs-
day. Delmarch was a green horse up
to last season and then only started last
year in six races. He won every one
of them and secured a record of 2.18%.
At Independence, last fall, he obtained
arecord to wagon of 2.20. This year
he has won 1: rec great races and'at
Cambridge city obtained a record of
2.12, which is faster than any stallion
has ever trotted in a race.
he has lowered this record to 2.11%
against time. .

is nothing that more emphatically

DANBU RY FAIR’S SUCCESS.

But It Might Have Been Greater but
for Two Groundless Scares-

Our Danbury friends have sent out
the following assuring bulletin:

The Danbury fair closed Saturday
night, and although itwas not the great
success which was anticipated, the man-
agement are satisfied. The total num-
ber of paid admissions during the week
was 46,000, as against 53,000 last year.
Financially, the fair was as great a suc-
cess as last year, despite the diminished
attendance. There are several reasons
for the decrease in attendance. The ty-
phoid fever scare was responsible to
some extent for the falling off, and the
scarcity of water was another injury.
While there was little or no typhoid
fever in the vicinity, the report got
abroad that it was epidemic here and a
number of telegrams were received
from persons living out of the state,
asking for information concerning the
report. The unpleasant weather also
tended to keep visitors away. Next year
the management expect to realize their
hopes of an attendance of 75,000.

 

Fire in South Norwalk.

Shortly after 10 o’clock Saturday
night, as Dr. George W. Benedict’s sis-
ter was about to retire at her home,
number 26 West avenue, she glanced
out of the window and discovered that
the barn a short distance in the rear of
the house was afire. She alarmed her
brother, who had just retired, and he
only waiting to put on his trousers, ran
out to the barn and with the help of
Captain Russell succeeded in getting
his horse and carriage from the burn-
ing building. Box 17 of the fire alarm
was pulled and about the same time
box 3 was pulled. This was confusmg
to the firemen but they were not long
in locating the blaze, and succeeded in
saving buildings near by. The frame-
work of the barn, a heavy oaken one,
was also saved. About two tons of hay
and grain, together with some tools,
etc., were burned. The fire was ev1-
dently the work of anincendiary and
was started in the hay loft. A hennery
attached to the barn, and in which
there was considerable poultry, was
also destroyed with its contents. Dr.
Benedict says that he was in the barn
half an hour previous to the discovery
of the fire and everything was all right
then. The firemen did excellent ser-
vice and are deserving of all credit.
The loss is covered by insurance.

Ran into the Horse Cars.

Theodore C. Prince, of West N or-
walk. hada narrow escape from a ser-
ious accident. Saturday evening, on
West avenue. He was turning the cor-
ner of Berkeley street into the avenue,
with his horse and buggy, just as the
car which left Norwalk at 8.11 came on-
to the switch, and thinking that the car
was going in the direction of Norwalk,
he attempted to cross the track. The
car happened to be going the other way

and the shaft of Prince’s carriage struc

one of the our horses, scraping the skin
off his side for a considerable space.
The shaft then went through the rail-
ing on the front platform and struck a
passenger, who happened to be stand-
ing on the platform, in the eye, mak-
ing a slight abrasion of the skin. The
shaft of the carriage was broken and
the harness suffered likewise. Prince
saved himself from going under the
car wheels by jumping from his car-
riage. The carriage was taken to Greg-
ory’s stable and another one secured,
after which Prince proceeded to his
home.

The Connecticut Disabled.

The Stonington line’s sidewheel
steamer Connecticut is disabled at City
Island. She was towed to New York
Wednesday by four tugs. which were
sent to her assistance Tuesday after-
noon by the company. The steamboat
left New York at 5 o’clock on Monday
night, carrying 300 passengers. While
off City Island the piston rod snapped.
The vessel could not proceed. and an-
chors were dropped. to keep her from
drifting. At 6 o’clock Tuesday morn-
ing the Massachusetts of the same line
passed in on her way to NewYork. She
was signaled, and went alongside the
Connecticut and took off her passen-

ers. They were forwarded to their

estimations that night by the Massa-

chusetts.

A Sunday Morning Blaze-

As Earnie Cornell turned the corner
of Water street, on Sunday morning,
about 9:30, on his way to church, he
noticed smoke pouring out, as he
thought, of Sloan’s novelty store. He

ave an alarm and druggist Hale pulled

ox 15, which quickl brought the fire-
men to the scene. he fire proved to
be the awning in front of the store,
which had probably been set afire by
throwing a lighted cigar butt or match
onto it. It was extinguished by the
tenants above with a few pails of water
before the firemen arrived. The centre
Of the awning was burned out, but $10
will cover all damages.

 

Horse Thief Captured.

The party who stole the gray horse
and top phaeton from Mrs. Vincent
Colyer, of Contentment Island, Oct.
5th. has been apprehended at Jersey
City, where he was trying to sell the
turnout for $65. It ,was valued at
$500. Chief Vollmer will go to Jersey
City and after getting a requisition
from the Governor bring the party,
whose name is Louis Weyenburke to
South Norwalk, where he will proba-
bly be bound over for trial before the
Superior court.

Steam Heat in the Cars. II

The Consolidated road has nearly
completed the placing of steam heat in
the cars of its line, as required by the
New York laws. Several different motif-

ods are being tried, with the result that ‘

the indirect hot water system appears
to be preferable to direct steam heat-
ing. The Baker heaters are left in the
cars in view of possible emergencies.

 

The Wheel Came Off.

William B. NeWcomb was driving
along the Westport road Saturday af-
ternoon, on his way home with a load
of apples,when one of the wheels on the
wagon came off. Mr. Newcomb was
thrown out and in falling hit his knee
against a stone. He sustained quite a
painful injury, and was confined to his
bed all day yesterday.

It isn’t the usual way
-—it’s just the reverse—to pay a
fiatient when you can’t cure him.
evertheless, that’s what’s done by
the proprietors of Dr. Sage’s Ca-
tarrh Remedy. They promise to
pay you 8500 if they can’t 'cure
your catarrh, no matter how bad
the case. It isn’t mere talk—it’s
business. You can satisfy yourself
of it, if you’re interested. And you
ought to be, if you have catarrh.
It’s faith in their medicine that’s
behind the offer. It has cured
thousands of the worst cases, where
everything else failed. You can be
cured, too. If you can’t, you get
the money. They’re willing to take
the risk—you ought to be glad to
take the medicine.

It’s the cheapest medicine on
can buy, because it’s guarantee to
give satisfaction, or your money is
returned.

You only pay for the good you
get. Can you ask more ?

That’s the peculiar plan all Dr.
Pierce’s medicines are sold on.
