Caua'ht at Last.
“J eems” Mitchell was in Readman’s
the other day trying to make a con-

tract for a life-sized photo of himself,
feet and all, when. as is his wont, he

went on to telling thrilling stories,
among which was one about the New
York bunco steerers picking him up
as a flat and before he knew it, got him

locked up in a dark room, and that he
barely escaped with his life, etc. Now
“J come” is a restless creature and had
hardly finished his stor when Read-
man was called away. ' o occupy the
time he went hunting about,and sooner
than he expected. found himself in the
photographer’s strictly private “dark
room” under the stairs and just at the
entrance to his gallery. There was a
fresh breeze blowing through the hall,
and the door has a snap-catch on it and
before poor Mitchell knew what he was
about the door slammed shut behind
him and he was locked up in the dark
room. -

He kicked and pounded for release,
but all to no purpose, for Readman was
busy and no one chanced to pass
through the hall. In this dark closet
there is a small ventilating window
about the size of an ocean steamer’s
stateroom port-hole. In his despera-
tion, Mitchell pried out the obstructing

, light and craned his long neck through

the hole in the wall and thus exhibited
onlyr his frizzled head on the outside.
From this point, his projecting caput
was seen from Lawyer Hurlbutt’s rear
window, but as his face was invisible,
no one could conjecture who it was,and
the strange appapition, coupled with
his unearthly yells for “help,” "fire,”
“murder,” etc., led to the belief that
Beadman had some crazy lunatic im-
prisoned there for safe keeping.

The yells of a Comanche savage,
were not a Circumstance to poor
Mitchell’s screams for rescue. At last

George I-Ionnccker’s attention was ar-
rested, and going to see what the un-
usual uproar was all about, on opening
the snap-catch from the outside, found
poor Mitchell an involuntary, but self-
incarcerated prisoner therein. It took
but a few moments to wash the blood
from the scratches on his face and neck,
where he had crowded his head through
the port hole, and then a sadder but
a wiser man, he rushed over to Ward-
well’s market to relate his blood-curd-
ling experience and escape, but not un-
til he had implored Honnecker and all,
“For God’s sake don’t let the DAILY
GAZETTE get on to this.” Jeems isn’t
investigating “dark rooms” any more.

The Pier to the Saugatuclr. Bridge
Carried Away.

One of the guard piers to the Sauga-
tuck carriage bridge, which some of
the-papers are speaking of as spile
piers, is in fact a pier without spiles
sunk to position in the water by aweight
of stone—a regular cheat for which a
round price was paid in town money.
The pier looked well enough and was
all right until the stones were dis-
placed. Then the structure floated
away, the current taking it down to-
wards the railroad bridge, where it
now lies. The pier on the north side
of the liridge is of the same character—
ready 0 leave the moment the stones
holding it are displaced. This miser-
able work was done under the eyes of
the selectmen at the time, and the con-
tractors who wore patent leather shoes
and good clothes, were able to make
officials believe that kind of work was

4 good work. The town paid the bill,

and, as is well known, the contractors
did not allow any gr 5 to grow under
their feet as they s rode from town.
Within twenty years carriage bridges
at Saugatuck have cost Westport over
$60,000. —Bridgeport Post.

Capt. Ira Better.

The late Capt. Ira Betts. of Wilton,
whose death was recently announced
in these columns, received his military
title on account of his having been com-
mander of a. company of \Viltoninn
militia more than a half century ago.
He used to conduct quite a large hat
shop at that period, near his home at
South Wilton. on the banks of the N or-
walk river. He, with the late LeGrand
Sturges, it used to be claimed, were the
only two practical batters living who
could catch a rabbit, prepare its fur and
turn it out a complete and finished hat,
curled, hound, lined and trimmed and
all complete, with their own hands and
without the assistance of any one else,
from beginning to completion. Prior
to the war, he used to be a regular at-
tendent each Monday night at the ses-
sion of our Brothers Lodge, I. O. O. F.
here in Norwalk, and as a sort of con-
necting link between the past and. pre-
sent, he was always interesting and in-
structive. He was the father of Capt.
A. A. Betts, of Norwalk, as we have'be-
fore stated.

A. Golden Wedding.

The Hon. Lyman W. Coe and Mrs.

Coe of Torrington will according to the
Torrington Register. celebrate on the
3d of November their golden wedding,
and at the same time their son-invlaw
and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. K.
Godfrey, will celebrate their silver
wedding. Mr. Coe, as a former mem-
ber of the Senate and as head of the
Coe Brass Company, has a very wide
acquaintance, in social, political and
business circles. His father the Hon.
Israel W. Coe, is still in good health—-
the oldest living member of the Con-
necticut‘ Legislature.
Mr. Lyman W. Coe, it will be re-
membered, was the unsuccessful Re-
publican nominee for Congress in this
district, some few years since.

A Painful Accident.

John Haggarty, an employe of the
Housatonic Railroad company, met
with a. painful accident while switching
cars at Shelton, Tuesday. He was rid—
ing on the step of the switch engine
when a stake fell from one of the cars,
the end of which stuck into the ground
and before Haggerty could save him-
self the other end struck his leg, cut-
ting a gash in it which took ten stitches
to close up.

Shot Her Dead in the Ring.

At the performance of Orfl’s circus, at
Berlin. Tuesday night Mme. Borchardt,
a favorite equestrienne, 'alloped into
the ring, bowing and smi ing toward a
group of young officers. The clown ‘of
the circus, her husband, became wild
with jealousy, and drawing a revolver
shot the women dead in the ring.

"Who'd a,Tho’t It? ”

Astonishment is expressed that truly
good Deacon Turney and his pious and
circumspect first lieutenants, Burr
Betta and Uncle Isaac Buxton, should
now, at this late hour of the afternoon
of their peaceful and strictly correct
lives, have joined the forces of the “old
sports” and “high-rollers” of the Sons
of Belial, and one to work to build
and encloses. “ arden of the Gods” of
mythology, on the noted Amphithea-
tre Grounds, for Geor e Clarke’s new
“N orwalk Pleasure Par .” Yet so it is,
and yesterday the worthy trio were
erecting a high board fence about that
romantic spot, to keep out the cold
winds and the unpaid aze of the un-
regenerate outsider, w 0 does not en-
ter in at the straight gate, and pay the
small trifle admission fee, charged to
keep the attractive grounds in order.
Every fourth fence-post is a small chest-
nut tree peeled to the top, so as to serve
the double purpose of more securely
holding the fencé and also to serve as a
flag-staff from the apex of which is to
float the flags and banners of all na-
tions, a la Coney Island in its palmest
days. A kite-shaped or figure eight
half-mile racing track is already sur-
veyed and staked out, but Turney and
his aids, drew the line on the race
course. They would have no part or
parcel in that device of the evil one,
and so they do not build thatpart of the
new enterprise. Their contract, it is
expected. will extend to the erection of
sundry pavilions, pagodas, and what-
nots, as shelters from sun and rain,and
where prohibition refreshments and
the home prepared basket of the pic-
nicer may be revealed. A winter to-
boggan slide and skating rink, are also
among the features in contemplation. A
letter from Mr. Clarke, Who is now in
London, and which reached New York
last evening, appears elsewhere in to—
day’s GAZETTE, and from it will be seen
that he expects to sail for home by the
middle of November, when the public
will be given more definite information
concerning Norwalk’s new pleasure re-
sort.

 

Judge Glover’s Danger.

Wednesday evening’s Farmer says that

Judge \Villiam B. Glover, of Fair-
field, narrowly escaped meeting with
serious injury in a runaway accident
Wednesday morning. The Jud e was
riding to this city with John ore-
house, of Fairfield, and when opposite
Black Rock village the horse Mr.
Morehouse was driving became un—
manageable and started on a mad run
towards this city. A kickfrom one of
the frightened animal’s rear legs sent
the hoof through the dash board strik-
ing Mr. Morehouse on the leg and
badly bruising that member. At this
Mr. Morehouse jumped from the vehi-
cle, leaving the Judge alone with the
runaway.

The horse continued its flight and
made straight for a telegraph pole.
Judge Glover, realizing the impending
danger, jumped from the vehicle, and
aside from a sprained left leg, escaped
harm. The horse continued on to the
tele raph pole,against which the buggy
cras ed with great violence, breaking
the shaft and otherwise demoralizing
the vehicle. The force of the collision
brought the horse to a stop.

Danbury Wheel Club Parade.

Fourteen members of the Alpha
Wheel Club of. Norwalk, and seven
of the Norwalk Wheel Club of South
Norwalk. took part in the parade of the
Danbury Wheel Club Wednesday night.
The Norwalk club’s wheels were decor-
ated with white, and the boys were un-
questionably the finest looking lot of
riders in the parade. After the pro-
cession was over the boys were enter-
tained right royally by their Danbury
brothers. While the riders were being
banqueted some heartless wretch stole
three lanterns, valued at about $6
apiece, from the Norwalk wheels. Af-
ter the banquet the N orwalk members
wheeled to Bethel. intending to catch
the 11.40 train for Norwalk. An acci-
dent at Hawleyville delayed this train
for nearly five hours, and it was five
o’clock this morning, before the weary.
but nevertheless happy riders returned
home. During the wait at Bethel the
boys played all sorts of pranks, and
were also entertained with declama-
home, etc, by Vincent lionnecker.

Destructlve Earthquake.

Dispatches from Japan announce
that a very severe earthquake shock
was experienced at Osaka and that the
destruction both of life and property
was very great. A number of houses
were thrown to the ground and many
occupants were crushed to death. A
large number of persons escaped from
their tottering homes only to meet death
in the streets from falling debris.

The details of the catastrophe are
very meagre, as all the telegraph wires
in the districts affected were broken by
the falling of the poles. It is known,
however, that in Osaka alone three
hundred persons lost their lives.

Hiogo has a pOpulation of 40,000 and
Osaka 350,000. Both cities are on the
island of Hondo.

Letter from George Clarke.
The DAILY GAZETTE is in receipt of
the following welcome epistle from a
histrionically celebrated friend, Mr.

. I feel it my duty to say a few words
in regard to Ely’s Cream Balm, and I
do so entirely without solicitation. I
have used it more or less than half a
year, and have found it to be most ad-
mirable. I have suffered from catarrh
of the worst kind ever since I was a
