Stirring Up Great Excitement.

It was rumored last night that the strike among the employees of the hat factories at South Norwalk had culminated in 8 riot and that Governor Waller had ordered out the militia. The rumor naturally created con- siderable excitement and led to much dis cussion. Members of the Second regiment are said to have trembled in their boots when they heard that possibly they would be sum moned to the scene of the disorder. At any rate they feared that there might be serious difficulty as the strikers were represented as being terribly in earnest and bent on destruc- ton. Later advices contained the assurance that everything was quiet at South Norwalk and that the story of the riot was hoax.

The Extension of James and Lombard Streets-The James Street Railroad Rridge.

The Extension of James and Lombard
 Streets-The James Street Railroad
 Bridge.
 The extensive changes in the appearance of the territory in the vicinity of the junction of James and Lombard streets, Cedar Hill, attract the attention of people passing on the Hartford and Shore Line trains and of people in general who pass that way on foot or in carriages. A vast amount of dirt is being hauled away and used for filling. The low, marshy spot, comprising an acre or two be-
 tween the Shore Line aud the Hartford rail-
 road tracks, where the two diverge, has been
 changed into solid ground. This low spot
 used to be for many years one of the head
 quarters for boys for skating. It is the site of a pond long known to the youth of that
 section as Dead Pond, so called as there was no visible outlet for the water. In the wet season there were several feet of water in the pond, and in the dry season the many faml- lies of bullfrogs living in the mud had hard scratches to find water enough for decent swim This site of the Dead Pond, now that it is covered or 10 feet thick with solid earth, will no doubt become in the future an available plot of land for railroad purposes. The earth filing is in part also used for the
 extension of James street, and all the earth filling comes from the excavating through the hill to connect Lombard with James street and to open @ driveway under the Hartford tracks, which shall be a continua- ton of James street. James street will pass
 under the tracks and thereby 8 dangerous
 railroad crossing will be obviated.

In this experience the West has but followed the example of the East, for his new departure whereby his course is made to in clude history well travel was found equally popular in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Chicago and Boston. MT. Stoddard begins e his new lecture here just after the holidays. ! NEwBERN, OR THE OLD FLAG. CarlPs Opera House was crowded last night to witness the performance of ''New- bern, or the Old Flag" The Blues appeared I and gave avery fine company drill. Their movements were executed with precision and won rounds of applause from the audience. \ The company appeared last night to better advantage than on any previous evening dur ing the week. MT. George K. Jewell as ''Jin" was very funny and kept the audience in good humor the entire evening. The same may be said of H. E. Jones as ''Pat Murphy" The acting of Miss Margery Me Gilyary and Miss Annabe11e Lewis was par ticularly fine. The play will be repeated this afternoon and evening and all who have
 not seen it should do so to-day.
 NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
 "Called Back" was finely repeated last
 evening. The presentation of the play was
 even better than on the preceding evening.
 The audience was large. To those who have
 read the novel the changes made in drama
 tization may be unexpected and the swift
 ness with which scenes and expressions which
 one could finger over in print appear and
 are gone is perhaps disappointing. But the
 plot is sufficient for the play andit dialogue
 is not more puzzling than it ought to be.
 Miss Millwards ''Pauline'' is unique char
 acter on the stage, we'll acted and we'll worth
 seeing and the support is, as we hitherto sta
 ted, excellent. Particularly admired in the
 scenic setting of the. play is the scene of the
 Siberian mines and of Kenyon and Marys
 summer house, which is changed into Ceneri
 and Macari's scanty lodgings between the
 scenes of the second act The play will be
 repeated this afternoon and evening and no
 doubt to crowded houses. MT. Wall is de
 serving of much praise for his enterprise in
 securing this dramatic treat for New Haven
