The trout hunting boys say the se-

GEORGE HOLMES.

The silent monitor came early on
Sunday morning and bore from earth
to the life eternal, another of N orwalk’s
oldest and most upright and respected
citizens and business men, in the per-
son Of George Holmes. He came to
Norwalk from Wilton and formed a co-
partnership with his nephew Major G.
M. Holmes on the first day of April,
1852, or just forty‘years ago last Fri-
day. Their grocery store on Main
street soon became noted for its integ-
zit-y and fair dealing. This continued
up to the great fire that swept up from
Hubbell’s corner and destroyed the
line of wooden stores on that street.
Soon aftcr,Mr. Holmes went across the
street to the store now occupied by Mr.
Dana Bissell, taking into partnership
the venerable Mr. Albert Morehouse,
while Major G. M. Holmes entered into
a co-partnership with Mr.A.J.‘Meeker.
Some years subsequently Mr. Holmes
removed'back to the old stand where
he and his nephew first started business,
the store sitehaving been rebuilt upon
by Mr. Charles C. Betts, where he took
his son into co-partnership with him

.and where he has continued his busi-

ness of wholesale and retail grocer up
to the time of his decease. Mr. Holmes
was a quiet, faithful member of the
Second M. E. church and a long life of
the strictest integrity and observance
of every moral Obligation, attested to
the Sincerity of his religious profess:
ions, Always. modest and unostenta-
tious, and strictly and constantly at-
tentive to his business as from a sense
of conscientious duty. he nevertheless
had a warm heart and a tender spot in it
for the unfortunate, as well as for his
friends. ,He was of a family of twelve
children, only one of whom, (Mr.
Charles Holmes of Wilton, the father
of Major G. M. Holmes,) now survives
at the age of eighty-four. Mr. Holmes
was in the seventy-seventh'year of his
age and like a shock of corn fully ripe,
he departs, having won for himself and
left as a legacy to his family and the
world, that noblest of all epitaphs “He
was an honest man.” I, 3 N “ ‘

Another Brakeman Meets Death
. onaFreight Car;

_ He Leaves 'a Wife and Six Children.

Another railroad brakeman met his

fate at Wilson Point about2 o’clock

Monday morning- His name was John
Cryan. He wason a freight car as the
switcher was backing down with some
flat-cars loaded with heavy stone and
known as ‘ ‘pushers. ” He swung around
on to the ladder of the car, to speak to
a fellow workman, when one Of the
iron stakes struck him‘ crushing him
between that and the freight car, He
was carried between the same a full
car’s length when he fell to the ground.
He was picked up in a semi-conscious
state and brought to the station at
South Norw’alk on the switch engin-
and Dr. Bohannan summoned, but he
breathed his last before the doctor ar-
rived, or in less than one-half hour af-
ter the accident. While on the loco-
motive he said “Go easy, won’t you ?”
the last words he ever spoke. The
cause of his death was internal injuries
and his shoulder and arm were broken.
The remains were taken to undertaker

’ Gregor ’s mor no where, they were
«'3 . )

viewed by coroner Burke who found a
verdict in accordance with the above
facts. The deceased had been em-
ployed at the Harlem Yards, but last
October: removed with his family to
Cedar street, South Norwalk, since
which time he had been at work at
Wilson Point. He leaves a wife and
six children, the oldest being thirteen
and the youngest two months. He
was abOut 40 years of age. His wife is
nearly crazed with grief and much
sympathy is expressed for her. ‘

 

“ It was the Cat.” .

Mrs. Wm. B. Nash, at her pretty cot-
tage home at the head of Main street,
has a household pet of most remark-
able tastes and qualities. It is a plie-
nomenally large Maltese cat, who _re-
joices in the euphonious cognomen of
"Billy.” Now Billy was christened at
a very early period of his mundane
existence, when he was full of all sorts
of kittenish antics and ways, and now
that he has grown to Aldermanic pro-
portions, enjoys being addressed or
called by his christian name as much
as any rolicking school boy. He seems
to fully comprehend that he was prop-
erly named Billy because he was that
kind of a cat, and so the honors are
easy with both Billy and all his multi-
tudes Of friends. But this is not his
remarkable characteristic. Billy seems
to have inherited those strong qualities
of aversion to the reptile race, that has
made good St. Patrick so historically
famous. Whether this is to be traced
to and accounted for by his close prox-
imity to the beautiful St. Mary’s Ceme-
tery, or on some occult theory of trans-
migration of souls,would puzzle a Tyn-
dall, Stewart Mill or Darwin to deter-
mine. Be this aslit may, Billy, though
by no means a melancholy cat in his
social intercourse and assocmtion With
his human familiars, selects the afore-
said cemetery and the swampy marsh
south of it, for his favorite hunting
grounds for reptiles. Last year, he
captured and brought home, thirty-two
of those horrid wrigglers whose vile
ancestor inveigled poor grandmother
Eve into that unfortunate fruit specu-
lation, which proved so disastrous to
her, her lordly spouse and the whole
succeeding generations of the human
family. Yesterday Billy opened the
spring campaign of 1892. He hiedhim-
self early up to the cemetery grounds
and soon returned with a wriggling,
squirming adder, of the .Vintage of
many years ago. The reptile was soon
despatched by a most Vigorous assault
on it with tongs, shovel and croquet
mallet. But no sooner had the viper
ceased to show signs of life than Billy
left it in apparent disgust and at once
hied himself back to his happy hunting
grounds and in less time than it takes
to narrate it, was back home with either
the grandfather or greatunclc of its
first capture! As a snake catcher,
Billy beats the record and we commend
him to our Winnipauk friends for an
engagement to capture that fourteen
feet long black snake seen on several
occasions by thirteen of Winnipauk’s
most re—lie~able citizens only last
spring, as the huge monster came out
to bask in the sunshine on top of the
flash-board of the upper mill’s dam.
And, sad thought, when Billy ' shuffles
off his mortal coil, as all good cats
must, let every faithful. friend of the
immortal St. Patrick drop a sprig of
shamrock o'er his grave and adopt as
his litany—“Reqwics—cat in pace. ”

The Inch Worm.

It is likely to be an abundant year
for the detested “inch worm,” or.
“measuring worm,” that infest elm,
apple and other trees by the ten thous-
and in some seasons, and destroys the
leaves and (if it happens to be a fruit
tree), spoils the fruit. It requires an
examination to see the enemy, the
bunches of eggs, all glazed over, are so
nearly like, in color, the bark of the
tree; but a little examination will show
these embryo toes in vast numbers. A
collection of the shiny-brown, glazed-
over eggs will be found on many twigs,
if the worms have not been killed 011‘
last year, or year before. They are
already beginning to hatch out very
minute worms, as a good microscope
will show. A week more, unless the
weather proves_.very cold, will find
these microscopic little wretches most-
1y hatched. and another week—say
about the 17th of April—will see them
beginning to leave the glazed-over cov-
ering. This is about as big as a small,
elongated cherry, and almost the hue
of the twig to which it is securely fas~
tened over winter. As soon as the first
tender green leaves begin to show.
thesevoracious worms are on hand to
devour them. By May 10 the trees will
look as if a fire had passed over them.
is Break ‘01!” and burn the twigs that
hold these eggs—perhaps you can do
no better—now, before the pests have
had a chance to get out. It may de-
stroy two-thirds of the crop of fruit——
but better that than a blighted tree in
mid-May, which is killed for all fruit
purposes this year.—Hartford Times.

Shortly after six o’clock Sunday
morning, Mrs. A. G. Judson, who lives
on Quintard avenue, discovered ablaze
near the barn of . Dr. C. F. Boutwell
who lives next door. She aroused her
husband who, in company with his son,
aroused the doctor,and the trio resolved
themselves into a fire company. They
used the J udson-Boutwell garden hose
and soon had the fire, which was in a

«bed of peat-moss, under subjection.

Damages nominal, unless that the doc-
tor may take cold by reason of the
scantiness of the wearing apparel he
had on at the time. Mr. J udson, says
that a little time was lost in coming to
a conclusion whether they should pick
the barn up and carry it out of harm’s
way or put out the fire. As will be seen
the latter sentiment prevailed.

Air Your Bedrooms.

If two persons occupying a bedroom
during the night will step upon weigh-
ing scales as they retire, and then again
when they arise, they will find their
actual weight to *be. at least one pound

More Snakes:

What is _the matter with the cats ?'
And what is there aboutacemeterv that
inVites them to séek that melancholy
spot as a hunting ground for snakes?
Can cats have an innate sentiment or
feeling akin to. that which inspired
(z :ay’s immortal Elegy on a country
graveyard. pronounced by President
Lincoln to. be the finest specimen of
verSification in the English language?
Strange and mysterious as it is, there
seems more in it than ever dreamed of
in our philosophy. . The DAILY GA-
zn'r'rn’s entertaining story of Mrs. Wm.
B. Nash’s cat capturing no end of
snakes in St. Mary’s cemetery, has led
to the revelation of the singular fact
that Gen. Charles Olmstead has a fam-
ily grimalkin whose highest ambition is
to hunt for and capture snakes in Un-
ion Cemetery. Nor is this the worst
feature of the extraordinary circum-
stance. Puss brings the wriggling,
struggling vipers into the house and
releases them alive in the cellar, dining
room, parlor, or under the bed, as best
suits her convenience and pleasure, to
the horror of the household. N O amount
of punishment serves to break up the
habit which seems to rule the cat with
a_sort of enchanlment, so that if per-
msted in, the General says he will have
to make way With the cat, as his nerves
are not strong enough to enjoy step-
ping out of bed in his bare feet and on
to a cold and slimy and crawling snake.
Tuesday puss brought one in and
turnedit loose in the cellar, and now
there, is imminent danger of his last
fall’s storage of family preserves, pickles
and jam and, worst of all, of cider turn-
ing sour and going to Waste, because
no one has a desire to encounter that
horrid reptile known to be coiled up or
crawling about that reCeptacle of so
many of the necessaries and luxuries of
life. Who can explain this serious and
mysterious phenomenon ?
