which time they closed up for the re-
mainder of the day, and the streets
were more deserted than of a Sunday.

telephone was placed near the grounds.

Oystermen Happy.

Monday next, September 10th, be-
gins another year on the natural oyster
beds. On that date the “close season”
which began on July 20th ends and the
public beds will again be open for
dredging.

Not in many years if ever before
have the oystermen had such good pros-
pects. The beds fairly swarm with
"set," the oldest workers not remem-
bering anything like it in the past.
The set is also unusually healthy and
well developed and should the unfor-
tunate experiences of last year notbe
repeated those who depend for a liv1ng
on what they dredge will be more than
repaid for the losses sustained from last
year’s storms. Millions of bushels of
oysters are literally within sight.

Besides the phenomenally favorable
conditions which the young oysters
seem to have met with in their own
element as well as the freedom from
destructive storms, two other causes
have contributed largely to the im.
mense production. One is the length-
ening of the “close season” and the
other the license law passed by the
last Legislature. The latter law put
an effectual stop to the piracy by
oystermcn from other states and more
than anything which has hitherto been
tried preserved to the native oystermen
their rights. _

Last year’s licenses have now expired
and in order to save prosecution and a
heavy penalty those who Wish to work
the beds must secure arenewal of their
licenses before next Monday: '

The appointment of William. A.
Lewis, himself being a prominent
oystermen as deputy U. S. marshal was
a good thing for the oyster interests,
as he will have an excellent opportunity
to see that the laws are properly en-

men realize the value to them of the
license law and there is little prob-
ability of many violations being re-
ported.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,

and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in-
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflamation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor-
mal condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever ; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafneis (caused by ca-
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s

Mothers and Daughters Restored
to Health and Strength.

 

Weak, nervous, delicate, overworked
women, are the ones that need a strength
builder, a tonic for their nerves, and a
cure for that awful internal trouble
that is wearing out their lives. Thou-
sands of women have found such in
Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy. Mrs.
Christiana Bea], of J onesport, Me.,
writes that her daughter had been a
great sufferer from female trouble, and
after repeated trials of Doctor’s pre-
scriptions and other so-called cures,
she used Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Rem-
edy and it permanently cured her.

If you have headache, uterine ci-
tarrh, leucorrhoea, or irregular month-
ly sickness, chronic weakness, bearing
down incidental to change of life, or
any of the attending evils that are pres-
ent in female complaints, use Favorite
Remedy, for it will build up quickly
the run down constitution _and bring
refreshing sleep. It Will dispel those
tired looks and feelings, restore the
nervous system and permanently cure
you. Our daughters grow up weak
and delicate; mothers can avaid such
conditions by giving them Dr. David
Kennedy’s Favorite Remedv.

ln Memorlam.

Memorial services of a most tender
and appropriate character, commemo.
rative of the life and character of Rev.
S. B. S. Bissell, were held in the Con—
gregational church on Sunday evening
to a full and sympathetic congregation,
large numbers of whom were from
Grace Church. The exercises were
opened by the pastor with responsive
reading. The quartette choir then
beautifully rendered “Rock of Ages.”
Dr. Noble then read the first Psalm,
followed by the choir singing the 599th
hymn, “Servant of God,” etc. Mr.
Arthur B. Hill then read a series of
resolutions prepared for placing upon
the church records in honor of the
faithful love and devotion to its inter-
ests, of its deceased member of sixty.
three years’ continuance. Rev. Mr.

‘Elwood followed with his boyhood,

middle and later life memories of the
deceased. He said in boyhood Mr.
Bissell was familiarly called Dr. Frank-
lin, not in sport or derismn, but in
honor-of his wisdom. Rev. Charles
Selleck followed with a short paper
eulogizing the erudition and conspicu-
ous christian life of the deceased. Rev.
Mr. Seward then read an able and ap—
propriate address on the beauty of a
sanctified old age. The choir then
sang hymn 628, “Oh sweet and blessed
country, the home of God's elect.”
Rev. S. H. Watkins follow 1 in. praise
of the true catholicity of Mr. B' ell’s
broad and liberal christian spirit. Dr.
Noble, his pastor. pronounced with
deep feeling, a true, tender, mast
touching and eloquent eulogy, which
came warm from his own heart, and in—
spired by such sincerity,was the bright-
est gem of the evening's funereal ora-
tory. Such was the exalted piety of
the deceased, and so illustriously cou-
spicuous his human sympathies, that
no word was or could be said in his
praise, in exaggeration of his deserv-
ing. Miss Sherwood, contralto, ex-
quisitely sang as a solo, “0, rest in the
Lord,” when Rev. Dr. Seward closed
the evening’s memorial services with
the benediction.

CLOTHING WORKERS STRIKE.

There Are Now 15,000 Mon Out In New
York Cit-y Alone.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-—-Therc are now
about 15,000 men on strike in this city.
Seven thousand of these are clothing task
workers, 7,000 more are finishers and gar-
ment workers thrown out by the strike,
and 1,000 are cloakiiiakers.

The section bounded by Delancey and
Brooms and Clinton and Orchard streets
on the east side is crowded with men and
women.~ There is no noisy demonstra-
ton, but the people gather in groups of 10
or 12 and talk earnestly of the strike and
its probable outcome.

H. Robinson, secretary of the local
branch of Garment workers, was seen at
76 Orchard street

“Things are coming our way in great
shape,” said Mr. Robinson.

"The contractors are with us, and it is
only a question of a few days before the
strike will be directed solely against the
manufacturers.

“The contructvr: have appointed a coin-
mlttee of four to meet a like committee of
ours for the purpose of arbitration. We
shall submit to them a scale of wages
which we have drawn up. I do not care
to make the wage schedule public at pres-
ent, but will do so later.”

FRESHWATER GATE, Isle of Wight, Sept.
6.-—-A fleet of yachts, large and small,
steamers and sailing craft, gathered this
morning in and about Totland bay in or-
der to witness the race for the Cape May
Challenge cup. It was not generally
known until late in the morning that
Vigilant had lost her centerboard; that
the Messrs. Gould had withdrawn their
challenge for the cup, and that the race
had been declared off. :3.

Britannia during the morning lay in
Cowes roads flying 38 winning flags, rep-
resenting the nuinberof mass she has won
this season. She will now be laid up for
the winter. The cutter was soon sur-
rounded‘by small boats sent to obtain
particulars of the affair, and Vlgilant was
also besieged with inquirers as long as she
was there. .

Vigilant, soon after Britannia displayed
her winning flags, hoisted the stars and
stripes. At 1 p. m. she was taken in tow
andheaded for Southampton, where, it is
understood, she will lay up until next
year. \ ’

All UllkilOWll Man GPOUHd TOPlBCSS
By The Bay State Flyer.

Nothing Found On His Person To
Reveal His Identity.

 

The Bay State dyer. which passes
through South NorWalk just before
noon, on Monday, struck and instantly
killed an unknown man, who was walk—
ing on the track near the easterly end
of the new out below Whistleville. The
man had just inquired of one of the
Italian laborers the nearest route to-
wards New York and on receiving the
reply ran down the embankment onto
the tracks in front of the engine. He
was struck by the pilot and literally
torn to pieces, his face and head being
mashed to a jelly.

A brakeman was left in charge of the
remains and word sent to Medical Ex-
aminer Burke, who went to the spot on
the 12:52 train and Mali the remains
brought to South 1‘20: \thlk on the 1:42
train and taken to Gregory’s morgue.

The victim was probably about 40
years of age, 5 feet 10 inches in height
and weighed in the neighborhood of
180 pounds. He had greyish brown
hair and had on a grey undershirt, black
cutaway coat and vest, grey striped
pantaloons,..two calico jumpers over a
white shirt and a soft black hat. His
shoes were laced and their size 7. In
his pocket was a red bandana handker-
chief.He also had a small leather change
purse in the pocket of his pantaloons in
which were two pawn tickets a 25 cent
piece and a -French silver coin of the
date of 1796, which he probably cirried
as a pocket piece. An empty brown
leather wallet was also found. In the
coat pocket was found a pass book,from
which the name had been erased, con-
taining a prescription for a tonic and a
laundry list, The two pawn tickets
were issued by R. Simpson, the New
York pawn broker, in June and July,
respectively. Both were for $15, which
had been loaned on a chain and some
other article which could not be deci-
phered.

The deceased also carried a bundle
in which were four white butcher’s
aprons, four laundried white shirts with
the laundry marks, H. U. 9043, 9041,
9021, seven collirs, size 15%, marked B.
R. H. U. 9021, one pair gray and one
pair black socks, two bandana handker-
chiefs, one old gold “Teck” tie, one
pair white jean drawers and one soiled
collar. He also had two pairs of shoes,
size 7, tied up in a‘ copy of the Bridge-
port Sunday Herald of Sunday, Sep-
tember 1. One pair was new and had
not been worn. There was also a. copy
of the New York Evening Sun of July
12th in the package.

There was not a scrap of paper found
by which the man could be identified,
and Medical Examiner Burke will at
once place himself in communication
with pawnbroker Simpson in hopes of
being able to obtain the victim’s name
by means of the pawn tickets.

Fires at South Norwalk.

This city was visited by another fire
at twenty minutes after two o’clock
Monday morning, which destroyed the
store in Joseph O’Rourke’s harness
shop in the Ely building on North Main
street. The supply wagon was delayed
some time after the alarm struck by the
horse refusing to leave the house.
When it arrived at the fire, however, a
line of hose was quickly laid. and after
a short battle the flames were extin-
guished. The fire was discovered by
the police, who heard a crash of glass,
and going in the direction of the name,
found the store on fire, The fire origi-
nated in the rear of the store in some
kindling wood. Mr. O’Rourke carried
an insurance of $3,000 on the stock,
which will probably cover the loss.
The stock of Henry Ochs in the base-
ment under the store was wetdownwith
water, but beyond soaking a pool table
no other damage was done to Iliislprop-
perty. '

At about twenty minutes to one o’clock
Sunday morning box 21 at the corner
of Taylor avenue and West street was
struck for a fire in the small‘ house on
the Guyer estate, opposite the home of
Thaddeus Guyer. The department re-
sponded, but the fire being outside of
the city limits, did not go into service.
As no water could be obtained the
building was entirely consumed. The
house was built a number of years ago
by the late Isaac Bouton and was used
as a hat shop for a number of years.
Two months ago the place was sold to
John Foder, a Hungarian, who had the
house moved back on the lot and a num-
ber of improvements made. It had
been leased to Michael Clean, who was
to have moved in yesterday. Mr. Foder
carried an insurance of $690

Fatally Shot Himself. -

Hiram Adams, mate of the propeller
Eagle, came home late Saturday night,
under the influence of liquor, and, as is
conjectured, in a fit of jealousy, shot
himself through the head, dying almost
instantly. He resided with his wife
over the Lewis Photograph gallery, on
Main street, she being better known
here as Alida Van Wagener. He came
to Norwalk from Port Chester, where
he had been a saloon keeper, and his
friends say, subject to fits of insane
jealousy, and had previously attempted
to kill himself on repeated occasions.
Medical Examiner Burke pronounced
it a case of undoubted self-destruction.
His parents, who reside in Greenwich,
on being notified of the sad afi'air, came
here on Sunday to claim his body and
remove the same to Greenwich for in-
terment. He has a brother, William
Adams, living here. Coroner Doton
came over from Bridgeport and invest-
igated the matter and agreed full with
Dr. Burke that it was suicid'e. nder-
taker Raymond took the body to the
home of his parents, this morning, for
burial.

 

 

 

c. .N- o. -

Local militiamen are interested in
the bill introduced in Congress by the
the officers of the regular armv giving
significant reasons why the National
Guard should be a paid institution,
which would double the regular army
in number and strength.

The advocates of the bill propose
that the government pay the members
of the National Guard a stated salary
of about one-half as much as the regu-
lar army commands.

The advantage derived from the pas-
sage of the bill would be the interest
taken by the soldiers in being in atten-
