A Hospital for Every Town.
One of the really sensible and good
things, urged by Dr. Lindsley in his
report of the State Board of Health,
is the need in every town of the State,
of a “retreat” or “hOSpital,”or “home”
to which all persons affected with con-
tagious diseases, may be at once re-
moved for care and treatment. This is
particularly and almost constantly
needed in cases of diphtheria and soar-
let fever, and would prove a most ef-
fectual means to prevent a Spread of
these direful contagious. The good
ladies of Norwalk, whose humane and
empathetic hearts have prompted
them to raise a fund for a Norwalk
Hospital, should consider Dr. Lind-
sley’s valuable suggestions. They have
already on hand funds enough to pur-
chase and maintain such a “retreat” as
the doctor earnestly recommends, and
there is forty times more need of this,
in our community, (as there is in most
others) than for a surgical hospital.
Indeed, there is no reason why both
may not be economically and efficient-
ly combined. We commend Dr. Lind-
sley’s earnest appeal to all the humane
who feel an interest in our promised
Norwalk Hospital. The doctor says in
part:
“Hospitals are usually large build-
ings, imposing, costly, structures. An
isolation beepital need not be a large
building. Any good common sized
house, with two or three well ventil-
ated rooms in the upper part, in a sal-
uhrious location, sufficiently remote
from other houses to involve no dan-
ger to their occupants, affords all that
is needful in the way of building. A
little stock of ordinary medicines, and
a good stock of approved disinfectants,
abundant supply of bed linen, tow-
, etc., ‘and some special furniture
and appliances, which any good medi-
cal man could suggest,are all that would
be needed in the way of equipment.
To provide such a place of refuge for a
person with a contagious disease, is not
beyond the easy ability of any town in
Connecticut. In most towns, a house
which would satisfactorily serve the
purpOse could be found. which could
he bought or rented. Or better, select
Allie site and build for the purpose spec-
ially. Next, find a reputable family of
ajult persons, of not more than two or
three in number, one of whom shall be
.a man, all of good habits, steady and
trustworthy people. Give them the
rent of the house free. Contract with
them to receive and nurse, under the
direction of the physician, what pa-
tients the board of health may send
them, at a stipulated price. in this
way it is quite practicable for any town
or village to have a hospital for con-
tagious diseases at an inconsiderable
cost, which would be saved to the peo-
ple ten-fold, with every first case of
contagious disease it cared for. Above
all things, do not call it a "pest” house.
330 not damn it with a name which will
shock the sensibilities of those who
may need to go to it. Call it a “re-
heat,” a ‘ ‘temporary home,” or by any
name which will not excite disagree-
able associations.”

The Hoyts’ Nursery.
This is the season of the year when

The large corps of laborers are dili-
gently at work getting the season’s en-
terprises in the various departments of
trees, vines, shrubs and plants full un-

largest and most noted nursery in
all New England and the reputation of
none in the whole country stands high-

their rare and superb Green Mountain
Grape for fruitage and as a test and
exhibit of its vigorous growth and
prolific bearing qualities.

Yesterday afternoon James Byrnes,

jecting out some distance into the
street. A driver in the employ of De-
Dlyn, drove by and, not noticing
Byrnes turnout succeeded in interlock-
ing the wheels of the DeKlyn vehicle
with the wheels of the former and
wrecking one of the same. Byrnes
when made aware of the mishap was a
muchly excited man, but cooled down
when Mr. DeKlyn told him to have the
ff wagon taken to a blacksmith shop and
repaired, at his expense.

Rev. Dr. J. S. Whedon.
The Rev. Dr. John Swinburne Whe-
don, who was formerly pastor of the
Thirty-seventh Street Methodist Epis-
copal Church in New York, and for the
last year pastor of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church in Ridgefield, and who
died Tuesday at Yalaha, Flu... aged
forty-nine, had been in' failing health
for some time, and on April 11, accom-
panied by his wife and mother, went to
Yalaha on a. visit to his brother. On
Monday he had a stroke of paralysis
and died the next day. He was the son
of the Rev. Dr. Daniel D. Whedon,
author and commentator. He leaves a
widow and two children. The funeral
was held at the Thirty-seventh Street
Methodist Episcopal Church in New
York. The burial at Elizabeth, N. J.

For the past two or three nights a
party has been selling cheap jewelry
and watches at auction at a store on
Main street. Among the victims was
Barney Feeney who invested some-
thing over five dollars in a watch and
chain. Mr. Feeney was at first delight-
ed with his purchase, but later thought
that he had been swindled, .and went
back to the store and ' demanded his
money. The dealer offered to return
three dollars of the same for the watch,
but to this proposition Mr. Feeney
would not accede, thinking to get it all
back. This morning when he went to
the store he was not a little chagrined
to find that the “fakirs” had picked up
their traps and left for more remunera-
tive fields.

The Certificate Of Organization
Filed Yesterday.
Will We Now Have a Parallel?
The capital stock of the New York
and Boston Inland Railroad Company,
a certificate of organization of which
was filed yesterday in the office of the
State Secretary at Hartford, is $10,-
000,000, divided into 100,000 shares.
The principal office is to be at Middle-
town, and the stockholders are mostly
from that place and Boston. The board
of directors consists of Franklin Mead,
E. D. Hewins. and T. B. Everett, of
Boston; J. S. Day, of Brookline, Mass. ;
D. Luther Briggs. Leonard Bailey, L.
Harris Warner, F. H. Alvord and E.
R. White, of Middletown. The amount
of capital stock required by law
to be paid in, twenty per cent, or
$455,000, has been subscribed and
10 per cent of this has been paid in
cash. The next step will be the bl‘ng-
ing of upetition to the railroad com-
missioners for an approval of the lay-
out. For some time past there has
been more or less quiet talk about some
capitalists with a heavy backing mak-
ing use of the defunct Hartford and
Harlem and the “Olmsted Parallel”
companies, and this seems its confirm-
ation.
The proposed road is to start at
Thompson, this state. which is situated
at the border line between Connecticut
and Massachusetts and to extend
through Thompson, Putnam. Wood-
stock, Pomfret, Eastford, Hampton,
Chaplin, Mansfield, Windham, Colum-
bia, Hebron, Marlboro’, Chatham,Port-
land, Middletown, Middlefield, Dur-
ham, \Vallingford, North Branford,
East Haven, North Haven. Hamden,
New Haven, Orange and Milford. to a
point on the layout of the New York,
Bridgeport and Eastern Railroad com-
pany at or near the centre of Milford,
its terminus, a distance of about 91
miles.
Messrs. Mead, Hewins and Everett
of the board depose under oath that
the amount of capital stock required by
law to be paid in—20 per cent. or [$455,-
000—has been subscribed in good faith;
that 10 per cent. of this, or $47,000, has
been paid in cash and that it is in-
tended to construct the road.
