A cable dispatch announces the safe arrival at Genoa, at 8._o’clock yester- day, of the steamer “Werra,” on boar of which is the greatly loved and re- spected Rev.

The proposed bicycle race between Conrad Engel and Julius Hornung an- nounced for last night, did not occur as the contestants were unable to se- cure the cure that the elements had made necessary for the race. There is a possibility of the race taking place to-night. ' As there was not sufficient rain to warrant the drowning of the umpire, the proposed game between the Har- bor avenue and Franklin avenue base- ball. nine, which was to have been played yesterday, was postponed until a “wetter” afternoon. Thomas Cooney was to have acted as umpire. Mitchell, the batter, proposes this afternoon, hoisting to the top of the 'flagstafi' that shoots up out of the roof of his store, a blood-red pennant that bears in bold black letters on awhite back round the word “Mitchell,” whicfi an anarchist interprets as mean- ing slau hter. ,“Dick”, says that it means “ fl' Hatteras” or rather, “I sell hats, at slaughtering prices.” As the pennant reaches the peak a free lunch will be served, to partake of which all are invited. - . Timothy Fitch, at his home on Mer- win street, has probably the finest wis- taria plant in town. It is ten years old. He has so trained it that it has every appearance of being a tree about 8 feet in height, with a branch circum- ference of about 12 feet. It is, we be- lieve, the only plant hereabouts that - has been successfully trained in like manner. A large number of persons have visited Merwin street for the pur- pose of seeing it. It is now in full bloom and presents a handsome appearance. A man who gave his name as. Alexan- der J ohnscn was arrested last night by Officer Martin, for being intoxicated. In his possession were found several flower bulbs, he giving conflicting sto— ries as to where he got them. It was thought that he was one of the parties who have been stealing flowers and plants about town of late, but as there was no convincing evidence to that ef- fect he was simply given a fine of $2 and costs for drunkenness. As he did not settle, he was taken to the Bridge- port jail, where he will, no doubt, meet with old friends and acquaintances. Someone broke into the henneries of Joseph Nagle and Mrs. Ellen Sheehan on Chapel street. one night this week, and securing a game cock from each, improvised a pit and set the chanti- cleers fighting. Mrs. Sheehan was more than mad the next morning when she found her rooster looking as if he had been taking a bath in a pool of blood, and Mr. Nagle was not especial- ly pleased when he found his chanti- cleer in the same condition. The parties who committed the act are liable to be arrested if Mrs. Sheehan ever learns their names,which is not very probable. We don’t Wish to hurry the borough authorities, for the present board have really done wonders in that they have caused that torn-up curb to be reset in front of the Norwalk Hotel, and which our good friend Alderman Bowe always vowed could not be done. But yesterday’s rain made the McAdam fill- ing soft and mushy and a lady could not cross without getting over shoe-top in mud. So please, Messrs. Highway Committee, lay down an inch board or a few lengths of flag stones, so that a decent crossing from the hotel side- walk to the railroad tunnel covering may be had. . The total number of deaths in Nor- walk, for the month of April, as re- ported in the Connecticut Board of Health circular, was 22 ; of which num- ber, 1 was from consumption, 3 pneu- monia, 2 bronchitis, 2 heart disease, 6 accidents, 8 other diseases. This rep- resents an annual death rate per 1,000, of 14.8. The lo’west death rate pub- lished is Manchester 7.2, and the high- est, Wallin ford 32.8.

He is suffering from an inter- nal trouble,but physicians do‘ not agree as to its exact nature. ‘ Means 3 Railway War; . The New Haven Union learns that the Consolidated Railroad Co. intends to parallel the New Haven and Derby railroad from the N augatuck track just‘ this side of Derby to West Haven. This is to better compete with the Housatonic systemfor the Naugatuck Valley traffic. One of the best engi- neers in the country in engaged in sur- veying the route. A lively railroad war seems to be on the tapis. A- Norwalk Case in Court- A case which is in many respects a' mostpeculiar one came up for trial yes- terday before Judge Perry in the court of common pleas. Hanlon Brothers, of Norwalk, who are manufacturers of baking powder, brought a suit to re- cover 348 of James Adair of this city. In 1890, Adair, who is the owner of the Centennial company, purchased some baking powder of the Hanlons, order- ing it put up with a special label of “ Centennial Baking Powder.” This, he claims, they did not do, and when the bill of $48 for it was presented, he refused to pay it. The Hanlons brought suit through Attorney J. S. Seymour. Wheeler & Curtis represent the defend- ant—Bridgeport Standard. Graduates.

A man was arrested in Chicago yes- terday for stealing a cage of lions. He is Henry Varnell, a runaway from Bar- num & Bailey’s circus, who left the show at York, Pa., last Friday, taking with him a. cage containing a lion, a lioness and two small cubs. driver, had become dissatisfied with the money paid him and hitched his team to the wagon containing the lions and drove away, ostensibly to ‘ the de- pot, but to another depot, and started for Chicago. In the hurried confusion the cage was not missed until the next day. He was on his way to the West to join demons in Nebraska. The .IIODS were nearly dead from starvation. They are valued at $3,500. The robber, the lions and "the cage were returned to Pittsburg. A V'- - . . Decoratlon Day Regatta.

There is a fine of five dollars provi- ded for every one who shall sweep or throw or deposit any waste paper, ashes, garbage, limbs of trees or offensive or injurious obstructions into or upon any borough highway, and it is high time the enactment was as rigidly enforced here as it is at South Norwalk. Last Night’s Storm. During the storm last night a cottage in process of construction at Bell Island is reported as having been moved three feet from its foundation and consider- able other damage was done to build- ings in that vicinity, and at Roton Point. It is also stated that the large lra Cole’s Great Catch. A striped bass, weighing seventy-one pounds, was caught in a shad net near Kingston, N. Y., by Ira Cole last night. This is the largest striped bass ever caught in the Hudson River. It meas- ures 4 feet 1 inch in length and 37 inches around. It will be a surprise to our Ira to see that he was fishing in the Hudson last night. His Horse Walked Away. New Canaan, drove to Norwalk and left his horse standing on Main street while he went into a dry floods store. Be- coming nneasy. the "horse walked ofi', but was secured by a party who; not having a knowled e as. to the owner- ship of the team, ed it around to Gre- goryjs stables where it was provided for. oming out of the store, Mr. Water- quiry, was told that a party was seen driving up Main street with the team he described. He immediately notified Chief DeForest, who began a 'search for the team and he was not long in lo- cating it at Mr. Gregory’s stables. Mr. Waterbury then got his carriage, rc- marking. “ the next time I come down here I will bring a. hitch-rein with me, and I’ll use it.” 0 That Italian Letter. Ever since John Lockwood received that love-letter from his Italian girl in Winnipauk he has been on needles. and would get hold of it and read it before he himself could decipher her loving messages. The boys all an that John has been in a love-trance or nearly a week, but be that as it may, John has not given himself away until esterday. The time table on the Wmnipauk = branch calls for a car at 12.55, and John has driven that car ever since he has ' been on the road, and knows to a sec- ond when it is time to start. Yesterday, however, he and his love-letter got tan- gled. It seems that he had gone up in- to the hay loft with the letter in hopes of making out what his Senorita had written to him. and while engaged in his work suddenly bethought himself of his car. Glancing quickly at his watch 110 descended the ladder from the loft and hitched his horse to the car and was of with his letter snugly tucked away next his heart. As he arrived at the switch near Winnipauk he won- 1y met him on that switchwas stranded. After waiting nearly five minutes he took out his Waterbury and was sur- prised to find that it only registered 12:55, his leaving time from the depot. John was disgusted with life at his dis- covery, but instead of “shuffling off this mortal coil” he took his love-letter and tore it up into small pieces and buried them under a large stone around the corner from Joe. Randle’s store in Winnipauk. ' , ' ~—————-—-»—-r—ooo -~——~ He Went Troutlmz. Early yesterday morning the ever genial, though betimes boisterous “Bill” Mitchell, donned his rubber boots,- threw his creel packed solid with sandwiches and cold tea over-his back and drove rapidly to Silver Mine, where he was reinforced by young Wm. Wardwell, .also loaded with lunches and more liquid bait of the prohibition quality and the twain then hurried their steed up into York state in eager quest for speckled beauties, where Wardwell well knew their haunts. The brooks and pools were reached. in due time, the_ snells, worms and gaudy-, barbed flies soon dangling among the rocks and overhanging trees when Mitchell landed the first trout and yelled so loud in his excitement that he made old Bald Hill in far ofi‘ Wilton reverberate. Wardwell strove to make him lower his tones to a whisper so as not to scare away the trout, but Mitch-’ ell’s whisper was worse than his yell, sounding like a second hand steam cali- ope with asthmatic tubes. This noisy : voice of Mitchell’s settled the fishing in that brook for the day and probably for a week to come, so another stream was sought and fished till dark. Herc four more trout were landed, when af- ter carefully wrapping them. in wet grass and depositing the:- in Mitchell’s creel, a start was made for home. Bill was too tired to ‘ examine his fish last night, but thil' morning when he exca- vated his creel, what a sight did he be- hold !.
