“Nine months after having the ty-
phoid fever, my head was perfectly bald.
I was induced to try Ayer’s Hair Vigor,
and before I had used half a bottle, the
hair began to grow. Two more bottles
brought out as good‘a head of hair as
ever I had. On my'recommendation,
my brother William Craig made use of
Ayer’s Hair Vigor with the same good
results.”——Stephen Craig, 832 Charlotte

A Saturday Runaway.
James Prowitt, had a narrow escape
from serious injury last Saturday af-
ternoon. He was driving up West av-
enue in company with a painter named
George Anderson. hen near the
Armory he attempted to drivr across
the horse railway tracks to get aside
from a passing team. In doing so one
of the hind wheels of his wagon caught
in the track and the spokes and felloe
of the wheel were torn.» clip and clean,
from the hub letting the wagon down
and throwing the occupants out on to
the ground. Young Prowitt held fast
to the reins and was dragged some
distance before he released his hold.
The horse'kept on at a mad pace up
the avenue to Wall street turning the
corner at Main street, and continuing
on .up to North avenue,'. down that
street to a point near Barnum’s brook
where he was stopped. ‘
Several teams were standing along
the route but fortunately there were
no collisions, nor other runaways.
Several parties who saw the accident,
ran to Mr. Pr’owitt’s assistance. He
was taken to the Armory and later to
his home, and a‘ physician summoned.
It was found that he had sustained se-'
vere bruises about the head and that
he was eons1derably scratched about the
legswhere‘he had been drawn on the
hard andicy hubs en the street. He
thanks his "lucky stars” that he at the
time of the accident had ona heavy
ulster, and no doubt by reason thereof
escaped more serious injury. But the
coat looked as if it had been shot at

of burgesses takes place on Monday
evening next. It is expected that the
meeting will be an interesting one as
several matters of importance are to be
brought up, among others being that
of the appointment of the police. A

Torn to Pieces.
James W. Harrington, a blacksmith
employed by Norcross Brothers of
Stony Creek, met with a terrible death
Saturday night. He was returning to
his home in the village about 11.40
o’clock. He took to the railroad track
and was run down by the midnight
“ cannonball ” freight. The body was
literally torn to pieces. It is supposed
that he was under the influence of
liquor. It was discovered late last
night that the victim had been a G. A.
. man of some New Haven post, but
before he came to Stony Creek was-liv-
ing in Maine, where it is believed he
has a family.

Westport’s Founder’s Day,
.The thrifty and highly romantic lit-
tle town of Westport has a day to cele-
brate, all its own. ,It is termed “Found-
er’s Day”and named in honor of the
natal anniversary of Hon. Horace Sta-
ples, founder 'of the Staples’ High
School. Tuesday being the ninety-
seeond birthday of the venerable phi-
lanthropist, a large company of his
friends and patrons of the school as-
sembled in the large hall of the High
School building and were entertained
by an interesting detail of the history
and work of the school by its Principal
and by speeches from the local clergy-
men and others. '
The good ladies of Westport had set
out on the floor of the hall, eight tables
with plates and seats for twenty at each
table and on the platform still another
of equal size for the clergy and honor-
ed guests of_ the gathering. These
were all heavfly loaded with every del-
. cacy the appetite could crave, and dec-
orated with tropical fruits and made
beautiful and redolent with the odor of
exquisite flowers. Rev. Mr. Relyea of
Greens Farms was master of ceremo-
nies and acquitted himself with his well
known grace and ability. He glorified
VVestport’s Mr. Staples’ life, high char-
acter and beneficent gift to his town,
but concealed the fact that " Uncle
Horace” got his start in life in the
town of Norwalk, be having settled on
the west shore of the Saugatuck in 1827,
which was then the eastern boundary
of the town of Norwalk. This fact of
his origin told, Mr. Staples’s life, is
not so much a marvel.
On the blackboard across the plat-
form, in large figures, were the dates——
In the ce ra or-
1802 {ms of MIi'WStaiIJles.} 189 3
In front of Mr. Staples. (who was
flanked on either side by Gen. and Mrs.
Couch of N orwalk.) stood a large and
gorgeous stand of cut flowers, the gift
of some lady admirer, despite his
weight of over ninety yea-rs.
, This was announced by Principal
Pratt as the ninth anniversary of the
opening of the school. After an invo-
cationrf the Divine blessing the guests
having been appropriately disposed at
the tables, fell to with a will, devouring
the tempting viands before them. At
the ministers’ table on the platform,
Gen. Couch was observed looking on
with the same intense interest he used
to do on the battle field, when he saw
his half famished soldiers make way
with their rations, and at the end of the
clerical struggle with the provisions,
was ready to affirm that Widow Bedot
was right when she observed,—“ them
pious do eat orful.”
The dinner over, about a dozen min-
isters responded to President Relyea’s
call. A congratulatox y address was
made to Mr. Staples, who very happily
responded. At the end of the clerical
feast of reason and flow of soul. the
Press was very appropriately announc-
ed, and Brother Jones of the Westport-
er called on to respond. As he had
conveniently slipped out of the hall, a
substitute was promptly‘drafted, who
entertained the audience in a few fee-
ble remarks, which were tolerated with
a submissive patience.
After the improbable stories and
frightful exaggerations given the audi-
ence by the preachers, it seemed a re-
lief to be treated to afew sober and
solemn truths by the GAZETTE scribe,
whose most interesting statement of
fact was that Mr. Staple’s had just
pulled out his wallet and made his
sixty-sixth consecutive annual payment
as a subscriber to the NORWALK GA-
ZETTE, the grand old man remarking
that he thought he had commenced
taking the paper some time before
1827, but he knew certainly that he
had taken it continuously since that
date. So. with the possible exception
of Mrs. Jonathan Camp, Mr. Staples is
the GAZETTE’S oldest continuoust‘sub-
scribe‘r.
The corps of teachers, among whom
is Miss L. S. Getler of N orwalk, were
unremitting in their efforts to make their
guests feel “at home ” and the occa-
sion one to be remembered. The mem-
bers of the graduating class acted effi-
ciently as ushers and table waiters.
The éhildren,grand-children and great-
grand-children of the aged, et men-
tally bright and physical y active
founder of the noble institution of
learning, were present and gave added
interest to the delightful occasion.
The GAZETTE is specially indebted to
the Librarian of the High School, for
information and favors courteously
furnished. All in all, the occasion was
one of the most notable anniversaries
in the history of the school, and all
left with the ardent hope and sincere
desire that its noble founder and bene-
factor might be spared yet many more
years to receive the grateful homage
of his fellow citizens and of the grand
army of children who shall rise up and
call him blessed.
Dollars to Doughnuts.
The newspaper man is frequently not
to blame for the misstatements that ap-
pears in his paper. His commodity is
news; that is what he deals in and that
is what his customers demand. He is
constantly on the lookout for whatever
is taking place in the communit in
which he does business.‘ It often ap-
pens, therefore, that he is told by
some one in whom he has confidence.
that a certain thing is about to take
place or has taken place. The matter
may be of importance or it may not;
he accepts it, however, as merchandise,
and prints the facts as he receives them-
in good faith. Coupled with the in-
formation he has thus received there is
usually some hint or rumor, or sugges-
tion connected with it that has been in
his mind for some time, and which
generally assists him in his endeavor to
say what is authentic concerning it. It
is not his fault, therefore, without di-
rect information from the parties most
concerned, _if the article or item finally
printed, is in error.especially as it gen-
erally happens that he is unable to con-
sult them, or if he does consult them
they do not tell him the whole truth,
and request that he publish only such
facts as will satisfy the public without
injury to the matter in point. If you
"have anything on your mind that you
fear will get into the newspapers, go
right off and have a talk with the edit-
or, and it is dollars to doughnuts that
he will oblige you in any way in his
power.

'A Hungarian Sufiocated in a Sink
' Vault. 'i
He Leaves a Wife and Children.
Probably no more shocking accident
ever occurred than that which deprived
John Sukay of his life Monday after-
noon. Sukay, about 2915, was noticed
staggering along the pathway between
Adams’ hat factory and the South N or-
walk Forming mill. Nothing more was
thought .of the matter for nearly an
hour, when “ Deacon ” John Taylor,
who is employed in Mr. Adams’ facto-
ry, while out dumping a wheelbarrow
load of ashes, heard groans emana-
ting from the closet in the rear of the
\factory. Naturally supposing it to be
the drunken Hungarian, Taylor hasten-
ed to find the ' Chief of Police, to have
the man arrested. When he returned,
however, the fact was made known that
the Hungarian, while in a drunken
where he had met his death. Dr. Burke
was summoned, a hook and rope were
procured and Sukay’s body was drawn
out on the ground. At this stage of the
excitement the unfortunate man’s wife
arrived on the sc‘ene. The cries of dis-
tress of the poor woman, as she gazed
on her husband lying dead, upon the
frozen ground, were heartrending.
Undertaker Gregory was called and
took the remains to the home of the
deceased in Whistleville. _
Sukay was in the 4lst year of his age,
and leaves a wife and four children.
The funeral will be held to-morrow
morning. Interment at St. Mary’s

Many Steamers Laid Up.
The present cold season has never
been equaled so far as its results upon
the oyster industry are concerned, says
the New Haven Register. For the past
two weeks or more none of the oyster
shipping firms in New Haven have
been abTe to carry on their trade, with
the exception of H. C. Rowe & Co.
About four years ago they caused to be
built a much larger and more powerful
oyster steamer than any other in the
fleet. The model was cut by'Henry C.
Rowe, the head of the firm, and the
plans and specifications made by him,
the construction being such as to en-
able the boat to encounter the heaviest
ice which makes in this harbor. The
two larger steamers of Rowe & Co., the
Ruel Rowe and her consort the Gordon
Rowe, are the only steamers which
have been up and down the Qunnipiac
river for more than two weeks. These
two dredgers are catching from the
beds of H. C. Rowe & Co. in the Sound
per day. Owing to the difficulty in
catching oysters and the consequent
inadequate supply the prices have very
much advanced, the standards having
gone from $1.20 per gallon to $1.80, the
extras from $1.30 to $1.90 and the se-
lects from $1.50 to’$2. 10.
The difficulties of navigation in such
heavy ice cannot readily be imagined.
The heavy copper which protects the
boats is torn and stripped off, the
planks are cut, the steering gear con-
stantly liable to accident when the
boats back up, to gain a headway to
plunge into some unusually heavy ob-
struction. The ice encountered was,
by measurement, 10 inches thick ten
days ago, and is undoubtedly over a
foot thick at present.
The boats of Rowe & Co. bring in the
oysters to their wharf below Quinni-
piac bridge. At present there are a
number of oyster steamers frozen in
the river above the bridge, but with a
few days of mild weather the owners
hope to be able to break out a channel-
way so that they will be able to resume
dredging as usual. There is also fro-
zen in a schooner that brought oysters
from the South.
At Oyster Point three of the fleet of
oyster steiémers were recently disabled
by their a tacks on the ice and they are
now being repaired. The laying up of
so large a. fleet of steamers at Oyster
Point and Fair Haven has thrown out
of work many employees.
Ely’s Cream Balm is worth its weight
in gold as a cure for catarrh. One bot-
tle cured me.— S. A.Lovell, Franklin,

Bridgeport’s Electrical Plant.
The Bridgeport Standard says that a
new electric company, which proposes
to establish a plant in that city, has
perfected a battery known as the Pen-
nock system, by which electric light
and power can be obtained and practi-
the dynamo “ all hollow ” as the phrase
is, and admitting of methods vastly
more manageable as well as economical.
If there is a fair basis for the claims
made so confidently on behalf of the
Pennock battery, it looks as if the long
sought practical electric power had
been found. _
The new system, the repert goes on
to say, can be used' in propulsion of
street cars, furnishing power for elec-
tric lights, bells, and in fact all opera-
tions in electricit . The ‘method, it is
claimed, is simp e and very inexpen-
sive. The primary battery, as the sys'e;
tem is known, is the discovery of Geo.
B. Pennock, an electrician well know
throughout the country. It may con-
sist of any number of cells, the dimen-
sions of which are 6x6 inches wide and
18 inches high. These weigh'but 25
pounds and the space occupied by
them is very small. .
The principal item considered in this
new discovery, however, is the expense.
It is estimated that 1,000 lamps of twen-
ty-candle power each can be maintained
for three cents an hour, and to pro-
duce the same candle power. by dyna—
mos would cost $10. A plant of 1,000
twenty-candle power lights, arranged
according to this new system, 'would
cost $1,000. To duplicate this With the
old fashioned dynamo sy
cost $10,000.
