Broken Bones and Cut Faces the
Result of allight’s Coasting.
Several of the injured Being Cared
For at the Norwalk Hospital.
The deadly double ripper got in its
terrible work at both ends of the town
Friday night, and today several young
men and women are lying on a bed of
pain, some with broken bones and oth-
ers with sprained limbs and out faces.
The most serious accident occurred
on Clay street hill, South Norwalk, at
about ten minutes to eleven o’clock.
Here Victor Ferris filled his large dou-
ble ripper, La La,with a gay party and
started down the decline. Before he
had traversed half the hill he shouted
to those behind him to roll off, as he
had lost control of the ripper. Young
Ferris rolled off as did another one of
the occupants, both escaping injury,
but Mamie Perry, aged 20 years, of 40
Raymond street, Bridget Green, 21,
of Belden avenue, Norwalk, Joseph
Bush, who works for expressman Cava-
nagh,and young Frank Gorman of Stu-
art avenue were not so fortunate and
remained upon the flying sled until it
crashed into a large telegraph pole with
frightful force. The crowd who wit-
nessed the accident were spell bound
for a moment and then hastened to the
assistance of the injured ones. Bridget
Green was found to have received :1.
en' ankle and a severe flesh wound.
Mamie Perry also received a compound
fracture of the left thigh and a sprained
left wrist. Joseph Bush had his nose
broken and badly cut,requiring several
stitches. Young Frank Gorman had
his ankle sprained and his head badly
cut, and it is also thought that he will
lose the sight of one eye. All of the in-
jured in this accident were cared for by
Drs. Allen, Clark and Bohannan_and
are, with the exception of German, at
the Norwalk hospital.
Barnum’s hill north of St. Paul’s
Episcopal church, Norwalk, was the
scene of another coasting accident,
which fortunately did not result in
either loss of life or broken limbs.
The “deadly fiyer” was the property
of Frank Finch. 011 the ripper when
it started from the top of the hill were
seated Lewis Hyatt, James Roscoe,
Harrold Clark, Maud Edmunds, Ella
and Lizzie Dagon. Young Ruscoe who
was steering the sled, when half way
down the hill lost control of it and
it dashed into a pile of rocks and briers
near the bridge and was upset, and the
riders and sled were piled up in a con-
fused heap.
The others present on the hill at the
time rushed to the assistance of the in-
jured ones and picked them up. On
examination it was found that young
Hyatt had received an ugly cut on the
eye, Ruscoe a cut on his right knee,
and Finch several cuts on his face and
left leg. The Dagon girls were not so
fortunate, Ella receiving a cut on the
forehead that required four stitches to
close, and severe abrasions on her flea
and chin, and Lizzie a bad wrenching
of her left leg and several scratches on
her face. She is confined to her bed.
The escape was a narrow one for all
concerned.
On Spring Hill young Phillip Land-
' rigan, son of James Landrigan, ran
into a lamp post at the foot of the hill
and broke his knee cap. He was picked
up and taken to his home on Grand
street. -

ll'lmt Will Do It,
Medical writers claim that the suc-
cessful remedy for nasal catarrh must
be nomirritating. easy of application,
and one that will reach the remote
sores and ulcerated surfaces. The his-
tory of the efforts to treat catarrh is
proof positive that only one remedy has
completely met these conditions, and
that is Ely’s Cream Balm. This safe
and pleasant remedy has mastered ca-
tarrh as nothing else has ever done,
and both physicians and patients free-
ly concede this fact. Our druggists
keep it. .

The genuine, untouched Virginian of
to-day has often been declared to be
the most complete survival of eight-
eenth century England how in. exist-
ence. There are certain eighteenth
century customs and phrases and man-
ners in common use here that have not
been heard -3 in a hundred years in
England
One of the quaintest is a custom of
the road which died out in England
when the post road and the traveling
chariot went out of vogue. In those
days it was considered almost an af-
front for one traveler in a carriage to
drive past another going the same way.
The traveling class was made up gen-
erally of the rich and leisurely, and as
they bowled along in their coaches to
have another couch dash by and give
back its dust and perhaps incite the
coachman to a race was considered
highly indecorous. To “take one's
dust” was a common expression of con-
tempt. The custom was not Without
its uses in its day. But will it be be-
lieved that at the close of the nine-
teenth century this etiquette of the
road is rigidly maintained, and that
amgng well-bred people each equipage
has to take the gait of the slowest?
True it is, some iconoclasts and outsid-
crs drive past their fellow travelers
without compunction, but they, there-
fore, prove their claim to be called
iconoclasts and outsiders. When it is
a. very pressing case an apology is called
out, such as: “Pray excuse me, but my
horse is restless,” or “I am in haste to
catch the boat.” or something of the
kind. But to drive ruthlessly ahead
without a word of apology is considered
the acme of ill-breeding.
The roads in this part of the world
are not interesting, except for their.
natural beauty, as the people of
wealth, following their English an-
cestors in practice, sought a proud sc-
clusion for their houses. Only the
poorest people built their homes on the
main road, and one may travel from
one end of this fair country to another
and not find a single handsome resi-
dence on the public highway. There
was another and a very practical rea-
son for abjuring this public highway.
Every man’s house was at the service
of every man, woman and child in the
country; an Arab hospitality obtained
and was enjoyed to the full. The peo-
ple who had undesirable homes were
always willing to bestow their com-
pany upon their more fortunate neigh-
bors, so that it wouldn't do to be too
convenient to the main arteries of
travel. Especially was this so when a
visit from a family meant the enter‘
taining of two coach horses, a coach-
man, and a maid; for the negroes went
visiting with the w rite people, and en-
joyed it quite as much. Hospitality
was one of their great. virtues, and is
still; for these people excel in social
virtues, and this particular virtue costs.
little. It only meant the killing of
half a. dozen more chickens for dinner,
when there were hundreds, perhaps,
scratchmg about the poultry yard; and
the gardens were overgrown with veg-
etables, for which there was neither
sale nor consumption. There were ice
houses full of ice and meadows full of
cows, and ice cream was manufactured
in a. big tin bucket turned about in a.
keg of ice and salt. It took two women
and a man and a. boy to make ice
cream, but it took that many to do
everything.
The ice houses are among the most
picturesque features in the landscape
here. A mound of earth, ' .hirty or
forty feet high, was thrown up around
a place that was bricked up and looked
like a gigantic well. This was finished
at the top by a circular roof. The
sides of the mound were graded and
urfed, and made nice places for boys
and girls to roll down when the short.
slippery grass was wet. —lloston Trans-

INSTINCT REA‘xSON.
An Instance That Proves the Horse :5
Rational Being.
“It is a. mistaken idea that none but
human beings can reason and that
dumb animals have not that power,”
said Prof. Albert A. Palmer, of Buffalo.
“I am fully prepared to demonstrate
that the animals inferior to man have
reasoning faculities. and that what
is generally termcr instinct plays an
Important pert in their doings and ac-
tions. _
“Let :15- give a simple example. I
:zl named Downing: who
owns :1. str". ‘ of valuable race horses.
In his string); isc. horse known 21.. Speed-
west. A day or so before a race in
which the horse is entered he generally
sends him out on the track mounted by
a. stable-boy for a little preparatory
work. This horse will not take kindly
to his work, and no amount of per-
suasion with whip or spur can get him
away from a. common cantor. I noticed
this peculiarity in the animal, and one
day suggested to Downing that per--
hope the horse knew that he was not
expected to race, and for that reason
could not understand cexaetly what
was required of him. I prevailed upon
him to dress the stableboy in the colors
usually worn in a race and try the
horse again. He did so, and the boy
was placed in front of the animal for a
moment that he might see the colors.
The result was that when the boy
mounted again the horse broke at the
word of command and set off at a long,
swinging gallop, which he increased to
a run, finishing the work under a.
strong pull. Another stable boy was
put up without the colors, and the
horse refused to 'leave the loping gate
at which he started out. A second
time the colors were used and again
the animal set out at a rate of speed
calculated to break a record.
“What do you call that, instinct or
reasonin,¢g,"?~ I contend that the horse
/had a. rational faculty which he
OR
.,
' exercised at will. He knew that with-
out the colors he had nothing in par-
ticular to gain by exerting himself to
,a. swift run. When the colors were put
on, the horse reasoned that there was
BROTHERS. JI
some object in view. He reasoned that
he was already prepared for a. race
and made his pace accordingly without
being urged.”—St. Louis Globe-Demo-
