When the train that reaches South Norwalk at 9:28 stopped at the depot Sunday night a man between 30 and 35 years of age, 5 feet 6 inches in height, alighted and stood upon the platform. He wore pantaloons and vest of a_ brown and white mixture and a. black diagonal sack coat. He had on a white shirt with turn down collar and afour-in- hand tie. After standing upon the plat- . form several minutes he disappeared and nothing more was seen of him un- til 1 o’clock this morning when he was found lying dead upon the tracks of the Consolidated road about one hundred feet this Slde of the culvert, where the Danbury tracks pass under those of the Consolidated. _ When found he was lying flat on his back with his head resting against the west rail of the west bound track. and his feet against the east rail of the turnout. His head and face were bad- ly disfigured. The body was picked up and carried to the rooms of Under- taker Gregory on North_Main street. where it awaits identification. N 0 one seems to recognize the dead man and nothing is known of . him other than that he came from Bridge- port onthe 9:28 train. In his _ pockets were found a ticket, from Bridgeport to South Norwalk, 9. ladies embroidered cambric handkerchief, with scalloped edges, 32,65 in money, two cards, clay pipe, cigar and a gold hunting-case watch and brass chain, With a horse- shoe charm. The watch is stamped on the inside case, “Fay’s Monarch” No. 1 and is numbered 531,682. The move- ments bear the inscription, “I. W. 00.. Springfield, Ill.” and are numbered 814.228; . The man is apparently 30 or 35 years of age and is clean shaven excepting a small brown moustache. He wore Con- gress gaiters and his clothing is appar- ently new. An empty whiskey bottle was also found in one of his pockets,and his clothing was soaked with the liquor as though the cork had been knocked out of the bottle at the time he was struck and the contents spilled. It is not known,‘ but it is thought that the gilt-edge express that passes through South Nor walk was the train that struck him. From the fact that no other por- tion of the body is cut excepting the face and head it would indicate that the man was lying down at the time he was killed. D D D D D D D i _ ; common in“!

PHINEAS W. MERRILL. The Pueblo Daily Chieftain prints the following obituary of a native of N or- walk, a son of the late Jason Merrill: The announcement of the death yes- terday morning at half past 7 o’clock of Mr. P.W.Merrill,the old time architect and builder of Pueblo at his home 1,301 Grand avenue created no surprise among the immediate friends of the family who have daily been expecting the sad event for some time. Hundreds of people, however, who have had busi- ness relations with him during his long residence in Pueblo will be grieved to read this notice. He had been in failing health for several years. The direct cause of death was dropsy, from which he had been a great sufferer for several weeks. The disease is thought to have been brought on by hardening of the liver and his case was almost hopeless from the start. . Mr. Merrill was born at Norwalk, Conn. and twenty years ago he came to Pueblo and commenced business at his profession of an architect. and also en- gaged in building. He continued this business all these years meeting with great success and built a large number of the business blocks and dwellings of Pueblo. He was a genial, generous hearted man; was esteemed by the men who worked for him, and was one of Pueblo’s most enterprising and respect- ed citizens. For the past three years he has been an active,earnest and generous member of the Church of the Ascension. lnllnpiecedented Oder. GREAT VALUE FOR LITTLE MONEY.

The New York and New England Claim an Entrance Into New York City. .-Contracts For the Terminal Station Nearly Completed. . At a meeting of the New York and ‘ ., New England directors held at Boston yesterday, President McLeod made the formal announcement that‘ he had ef- fectedan entrance into New York City. This is by means of the New York, New England and Northern Railroad, a charter for which was recently grant- ed after a hard fight at Albany. The board promptly authorized Pres- ident McLeod to execute a contract be- tween thc New York, New England and the New York, New England and Northern, and a contract between the New York, New England and Northern with the Manhattan Railroad Company. Other essentials for the New York con- nection were also authorized. The connection of the New York, New England and Northern and the 'Manhattan will be just above the New York,.,New|Haven and Hartford termi- nals, near Third avenue and 149th street. The Third avenue elevated, it is under- stood, is, to connect with the new line in a union station at that point. The freight terminals will be just eastward at Port Morris and Hunt’s Point. The Ryan &. McDonald Construction Company will build the new road and turn it over, when completed, to the stockholders of the New York, New England and Northern Railroad Com- pany, after which 51 per cent. of the stock will pass into the treasury of the New York and New England Company. The construction company will furnish all the funds to build and equip the road. ' Contracts for the construction of the terminal station of the New York, New England and Northern on the Harlem river are nearly completed. The New England people contemplate making an_arrangement with the Manhattan Railway by which the latter will be able to run through trains from the Battery to Brewster’s Station, when the New England’s extension is com- pleted. This all sounds familiar, yet may prove true. Wall street, however, is inclined to regard all this talk as bluff. Contracts on paper are all right, says the Street, but the actual carrying cut of them is a different matter. Very few people on Wa l street seri- ously think that the No England will make the attempt to enter New York that is being heralded about just now. They expect to see the whole thing end in some sort of a traffic arrangement With the Consolidated road.‘ ‘ . It is said that the Boston and Maine is now planning to secure control of the Central Vermont property. A close defensive alliance between the Boston and Maine and New Haven roads is also likely- A Large Meeting. A few minutes after 4 o’clock Tues- day afternoon the ninth annual con- vention of'the Connecticut Christian Endeavor union was called to; order in the Fourth regiment armory at Bridge- port. The big hall was crowded with 'over 5,000 people. The addresses of the evening were on the general subject, “Organized En- deavor,‘ Our Present Opportunity.” Rev. '1. W. Shelton of Birmingham took for his subject, “In Saving Ameri- 03.’ Rev. Eli. Young, New Britain, ‘ In Good Citizenship,” Rev. J. B. James, Rockville, “In Temperance ‘Work, ’ Rev. J._ S. James, Hartford, In Foreign Missionary Work,” and Rev. W. H. Sherwood, president of the state organization of New York, ‘ ‘In Enlarged Endeavor. ” It is expected that to-day will see the advent of nearly 2.000 more from out of town. There are at present 1,700 registered, of whom about 550 are from out of town. . -. Big Heads in New Britain. The licenses of New Britain liquor dealers expired Tuesday night. The town havmg voted “no license” the se- lectmen threatened to seize all liquor found in the town‘ after midnight and most of the dealers accordin 1y turned their saloons into concert halls. 0r- chestrasand bands were engaged, and after midnight liquor was given away by the gallon. Early in the evening the saloon keepers began to dispense liquors free, With the result that there were scores. of drunken: men "on the streets. The night was one of the wild- est celebrations of “Halloween” ever known in that city. There were hit-- merous rows but no. serious result-sure reported. . ’0: Applicable to Norwalk. A law was passed at the last session of the legislature which is of specialin. terest to dog ownersas well as to those who do not own a, pup. If the dog is in the habit of running into the street and barking at teams 6r. persons, the per- sons thus bothered can enter complaint to the proper court officials, who shall notify the owner that he must keep the dog confined. If a second complaint is made the owner can be arrested and fined $7 and costs.

Mrs. ankbam’s Liver Pills, 25 cents. Woodward-:Hoyt. In keeping with the rarely bright andbeautiful autumnal day, the golden sun flooding with loving warmth and genial rays both earth and air, was the wedding of Mr. Frederick William Hoyt and Miss SarahLucia Woodward which took place yesterday afternoon . at three thirty o’clock in the First Con- gregational Church. The altar and organ were most taste- fully decorated with a profusion -of palms and white chrysanthemums, the effect being superbly beautiful. The bridal party entered the church to the strains of Mendelssohn’s wedding march, in the following order: the ushers, Messrs. Nelson Taylor, Frank Beatty, William Thomas and Charles Miller; the “maid of honor” Miss Anna Woodward in Reseda green, and carry- ing a bouquet of La France rosescame next, followed by Master John Jay Cape of Washington, Ct., and little Miss Alice Earle of New York, sweetly radi- ant in all the innocence of earliest childhood, dressed in white and hear- ing on her arm a large basket of pink roses. Then came the bride upon the arm of her father, Judge Asa B. Wood- ward, a picture of the beautiful, robed in a dress of navy blue cloth, trimmed in seal-skin, with hat to match and car- rying a bouquet of bride-roses. The bride was met at the altar by the groom and his best man, Mr. Gould Hoyt. The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. T. K. Noble, and Miss Jennie Nash presided delight- fully at the organ. After the cere- mony Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt left for a short weddin trip, after which they will reside in ew York. At the home of the bride on Elm street, the house was handsomely dec- orated with palms and fioWers. Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt received many costly and beautiful presents of diamonds, silver-ware, cuhglass, etc, etc. Large numbers of out of town friends attend- ed the wedding and all went “merry as a marriage bell.” Seldom have a bride and groom received so many earnest benedictions and such universal geod- wishes and ‘ ‘God-bless-yous. ” ___———<->—-——-——— Our Horse R’aiiway. The new blood, new enterprise and push, recently introduced into the ownership and management of the Norwalk Horse Railwa , has already been made apparent. till more and better things are to follow. The cars are to be heated for the first time, dur- ing the cold weather. The manage- ment have settled upon the “Baker” system of car heaters and one has already been in operation to test its merits, which are shown to be superior to any other. All the cars are now to be equipped wim these heaters, without unnecessary «clay. Again, the road is to be practically double tracked between the “Bridge” and South Nor- on the ground for the purpose of lay- ing out this important work. In the early part of next year it is proposed to rebuild the entire line and equip it with the trolley system of motive pow- er. The old cars are to be taken off the line and their places supplied not only with new ones, but with the best that the latest mechanical skill have devised. _ - ‘ No Change in the Fee. At the office of the count commis- sioners in Bridgeport, on ednesday, it was said that no change would be made in the price of liquor licenses this year. ' Of course the saloon keepers would like to see the license fee cut down but the commissioners think that every cent of revenue can ”be used and even more if they had it. The license fee is now $400 a year. . The commissioners yesterday began issuing county licenses. About a dozen were issued. This is about the usual number for the first day. The hard times will probably make some of the saloon men hustle in order to scrape together enough money to pay the fee. O His Best Girl. A certain young man in town thus describes his. best girl .: “She has a form. that any actress might envy. Her. eyes are as blue as the blue in the sky, veritable liquid lakes of love; her teeth are as white as pearls; her lips look like twin cherries and her mouth ,‘is likes hole Ill-8. piece of new honey- comb. Her hair is like spun gold 'and her cheeks look like lilies dipped in wine ; her complexion like rose leaves mashed on marble. She is as modest as a violet and her voice is as soft as the sound of silvery bells at night.’ —‘ Safe In Jail. Charles Clarke, who assaulted his niece Louise Hoifkins,',was taken from- Stamford to Bridgeport jail Monday night under. $10,000 bonds to await« trial. He tried to,.pr0ve an alibi but failed. Great feeling was expressed in Stamford during the trial and threats of lynching were made. - The officers brepthedreasier when Clarke was‘safely ensconced in Bridgeport jail. walk, and civil engineers are already .

It is quite easy to make up remnants into savory dishes. A favorite way of pre- paringa. dish of cold roast veal is as follows: Chop the veal very fine; chop a. small onion and fry it a. delicate brown in a. saucepan with butter, then add a. half teaspoonful of flour, a little stock, chopped parsley, pepper and salt and then put in the minced veal. Let this get very hot, but not too brown. Have ready slices of nicely browned toast, buttered, moistened with a spoonful of boiling water and a poached egg on each one. Heap on or around the egg spoonfuls of the pre- pared meat. This should be very hot. It is nice for breakfast or tea..-—Prairie Farmer. —Lobster Cutlets—A boiled lobster.

Chop the meat fine; rub it finer With a. wooden spoon; moisten it with a tea- spoon of melted butter, and cream enough to make it all wet; add a. hand ful of fine bread crumbs; season. with mace, salt and pepper, red and white. Make it into. shape, roll in egg and cracker dust and boil in hot fat. Now make a. sauce of the green and white fat with the coral rubbed very fine so to give color, and smooth it with a ta- blespoonful of butter; season with mace and pepper. Have a. gill of drawn but- ter in a. tin dish inside of a pan of water; stir the lobster mixture into the drawn butter, heat it hot, but do not let it boil; add the juice. of half a. lemon the last thing. Put the cutlets on a a. hot dish and pour the sauce over them. This is pleasant to the eye and delightful to the taste.-——Boston Bud- get. FASHIONS IN COIFFURE. Qualnt, Simple Modes Becoming to Beauty, but Trying to Plain Women. The world belongs to pretty women and the fullness thereof is theirs, let the wise ones argue as they will of in: tellectual superiority and spiritual beauty. To the woman with the fair- ies’ gift all else shall be added, partic- ularly in the domain of dress. It is .for the pretty woman that-modes are made and exquisite fabrics wrought. She needs the consideration of the designer much less than plainer woman. but she receives it all the more in deplorably unjust ratio. ' Particularly this. season does the plain woman feel bitterness in her soul at being deprived, through no fault of her own, of her birth-right. For every fashion now demands the sweet and gentle type of beauty known to the Amelias and Chorillas of a. by- gone day before higher education and smartness and swagger came in. The style of coiifure prevalent only a. Re- mola. or one of Miss Muloch’s low- ‘ voiced women could wear with becom- ingness, for the very latest thing in hair dressing, ‘copied from athc old-time mode, has smooth and glossy tresses combed trimly down on either side a fine White parting, to be twisted in a soft coil at the back. This style 'of coifiure demands a delicate, youthful face, a low, broad forehead, and an ex-' quisitely molded head. Another style, much'af’r'ected by young girls, is a. mod- ification of the 1820 style, with ringlets falling down either side the face from a. parting, the hair knotted high in a. puff in the center. The expression to be worn-With this coifiure should be one of sweet modesty and gentle uno- plnionatedness. Still smarter and becoming to the full-fledged belle or youthful matron is that coiffure in which the hair is tossed back from the forehead to fall in soft, careless curls at the side' or in a. single curl in the middle of the fore- head. Some women of the dark, Spanish type, with faultlessly regular features, dare attempt this style of coifiure with no curls, and the smooth haircombed back lightly to the twist. Handsome women are distinguished, intellectual women striking, with this sort of fram- ing._ The woman who isn’t so sure of herself and her beauty will part her now dishonored bang a. little at the side, perhaps, and leave the soft fringe to fall over her forehead, and the petite style of woman, who has an irregular sort of beauty, waves her hair in a,tangle of curls, that fall back apparently in spite of her, to flutter over her brow, while the sweet-faced woman, with 'the small and pretty head and not a. great deal of time to think of herself or her beauty any way un- consciously copies the' Mrs. Cleveland coiffure, the soft, waivy hair combed carelessly over back, to be twisted in a knot at the center of the head.—-' N.
