' A Firecracker Thrown into Her Lap As each 4th of July passes another chapter is added to the long list of fatal accidents from the careless use of fire- crackers and the neglect of parents to properly clothe their children in woolen clothing before allowing them to han- dle firecrackers. On Tuesday morning none of the lit- tle children, who arose early in order to celebrate the day, were happier in anticipation of the day’s pleasures than little Edith C. Keith, the 8-year-old daughter of William Keith, of Mar- shall street, South Norwalk, Little Edith got through the morning with- out harm, but' about three o’clock in the afternoon while she was playing With several little friends in the yard of Mrs. Graves, a near-by neighbor, some one accidentally threw a fire- cracker into her lap, which exploded before she could brush it off. Her clothes being of thin cotton material they were soon blazing up all over the little child. She ran into the doorway of Mrs. Graves’ house where Mrs. Graves caught her and extinguished the flames, but severely burning both of her hands in doing so. Edith was quickly removed to her home and Doc- tor Coburn called, who found that both arms had been burned until the flesh peeled off, her limbs from the hips to the knees burned to the bone, while her abdomen and breast were a mass of blisters. The doctor at once saw there was no hope for the little outlet- or, who had without doubt inhaled the fire, but did all that could be done to ease her_ pain. At 3:30 this morning little Edith passed away and the heart- broken parents have the sympathy of all in their deep affliction. Salted for Scotland. William A. Wilson the young Stam- ford hatter, who was married to Miss Laura Brown, of New Canaan, at Lewisboro, N. Y., about two weeks ago, sailed for Scotland Saturday on the steamship City of Rome. Mr. Wil- son has wealthy relatives on the other side whom he will visit, and expects to be gone about two months, after which he will return and enter into business. Mrs. Wilson did not accompany her husband, being afraid to undertake the sea voyage, and is now at the residence of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Seeley Brown, in New Canaan. Mr. and Mrs. Brown desire the GAZETTE to correct the published statement that they were opposed to young Wilson marrying their daughter, and that he was order: ed out of the house upon returning and announcing the wedding. They ‘had given their consent to the marriage taking place and the engagement had been published, but they asked that the wedding be deferred until Miss Brown was older, she being in her seventeenth year. This the couple de- cided they could not do, and were secretly married in Lewisboro. When they returned and announced the event, Miss Brown’s parents naturally felt grieved, but after explanations had been made all was forgiven and Mr. and Mrs. Wilson received the parental blessing. The Tramway. this office, about 11 o’clock Tuesday morning. It was an open car and there was nearly if not quite 100 passengers on board. The car started from a point 'on the Washington street bridge and glided along as only an electric car can. Frequent stops were made for the ac- commodation of passengers. The speed of the car was regulated as easily as if it had been a baby carriage. It ran as far as the club building. Frequent trips were made during the afternoon and in every instance the car had a full complement of passengers. The car made the run up the rather steep grade of Mill Hill with comparative ease, and was on one trip stopped when about half way up and started off again as if on a level. Without a doubt the cars will prove very popular with the travel- ing public. Mr. Sweet, a former em- ployee of the Horse Railroad company, acted as conductor. One car commen- ced making regular hourly trips be- tween the Washington street bridge and Norwalk at 12 o’clock to-day. The entire line will be in operation by the end of the week and all the cars will then be run. _—‘..._.- . _____ Could Not Keep Shop without them.

Yates,Phar- macist, 99 Essex street,Lawrence,Mass._ I have had catarrh for twenty years, and used all kinds of remedies without relief. Mr. Smith, druggist of Little Falls, recommended Ely’s Cream Balm. The effect of the first application was magical. It alloyed the inflammation, and the next morning my head was as clear as a bell.

The author of “Twenty YearsluPar- liament” says that, Lord Palmerston had. a natural buoyancy which his opponents. called audadity‘, but which seldom failed. to jerk .him over a dangerous rut in the road, not ,always without splash, but generally without harm. l Ono crisis in his ministerial life illus. trates the absolute good humor which may prevail even when political enmity is at its worst. Lord Derby, the far or of the present Carl, had made an attack upon him in the upper house withsuch energy and eloquelco that the odds against him seemed overwhelming. But he defended himself and hispolicyfirom the dusk of one day to the dawn of. an- other with such tact, dexterity and force of appeal-to the national sense of honor that he was acquitted of all blame "by a. majority of fourscore. Next day, in passing through the cor- ridor leading from an anteroom to the upperhouse, one swing door opened to hishand, and at the same moment . the other to that of Lord Derby.

A Large Insurance Carried by th Firm. - Between half past one and». quarter 'to two Sunday Morning James Skidd, the watchman at the Lockwood Mfg. Co.’s factory at South Norwalk, dis- covered flames issuing from the paper and hat box factor of Hallock Bros. on the cornor of ay and Raymond streets. He immediately pulled box 4 and the fire department responded. promptly. When the firemen arrived the flames were shooting out of all. the Windows on the second floor, and the roof was also blazing. Four streams of water were soon playing upon the building and after a long fight the fire" was extinguished. The roof was burned ofl‘ and the stock mostly destroyed and the machines on the ground floor bad- ly damaged by water. ' This _is the second fire that has oc- curred in this building since'tho Hal-- locks have leased it, and it is said that the. firm has also had two fires at their factory. in Danbury. The building is owned by Mr. E. A. Woodward, who'had an insurance of $2,000 With 0. B. Coolidge. Hallock Bros. had $5100 insurance. on their stock and machines, $1,900 with To lor & Golden and $3,200 with 0. E. Bar or. When seen Sunday evening fire mar- shal Trowbridge said that the fire evi- dently started in the elevator among a pile of pickingboxeswhich were stored there, and the top of the pile reaching up the elevator into the second story. As to what his theory was in the mat- ter .Mr. Trowbridge refused to say, stating that whatever he had to say would be given to the insurance adjust- ers who are expected to arrive to-day and athst the loss. .The fire alarm again worked badly only striking the right box two rounds, then starting off on a go-as-you-please racket greatly confusing to the firemen. Struck in the Head with a Club. Between ten and eleven o’clock Sat- urday night, Everett E. Wheeler, an old man who keeps a small fruit and candy store on Washington street, South Norwalk, locked up his place of business and started for his home in Springwood. In order to make a short cut to his house Mr. Wheeler has been ‘ in the habit of going through the Snowden .woods. As he entered on the path leading through these woods Sat- urday night he saw two men ahead of him in the darkness. Just as he arriv- ed opposite to where they were stand- ing one of them dealt him a terrible blow on the Side of the head with a club. The force of the blow failing to knock Mr. Wheeler down, the highwayman struck him- two others on the back knocking him to the ground. One of the men then Jumped upon him and grabbed-him by the throat while his accomplice went through Mr. Wheeler’s pockets. They succeeded in securing apocket book containing a number of receipts and a bag with $13 in silver, which they carried away with them. Mr..Whee or had between $30 and $40 in bills With him, but before entering the woods he took the roll out of his pocket and carried it in his hand, and when struck With the club dropped it upon ,the ground where it was found Sunday morning b a young girl and returned to Mr. W eeler, who gave her 85 for her_ honesty. The police were notified soon after " the_occuranco Saturday night and made a diligent search for the highwaymen, butas they both wore black masks on their faces Mr. Wheeler was unable to give a description of them, other than that one was tall and the other short. This is the’ second time Mr. Wheeler has been robbed while returning home, and it is the opinion that his assailants are acquainted with his route home and habit of carrying his money in his pockets. . ’ While 'not severely injured, Mr. Wheeler .who is well along in years, was cons1derably shocked by the oc- curence and carries a large cut on the side of his head where the club struck him.
