A NEW YEARS SPREE.

A Norwalk clerks Terrible Injuries.
 Robert T. Thompson of East Norwalk, delivery clerk for Vim. Hilsden, South Norwalk marketman, and who took care of Hilsden's horses, was found Saturday morn ing in 'Hilsden's barn directly in front of large gray horse. Dr. Burke attended him and found that his patients jaws were brok- in several places. His head was badly cut, his front teeth were all knocked out, his arms were badly bruised and his hands were fairly covered with wounds. At first foul play was conjectured as the cause of his condition, but later it appeared most proba- ble that when intoxicated Thompson crawled into the barn and lay down near the horses, upon which clots of blood were found. At noon Saturday Thompson had partially regained consciousness and his physician had hopes of a complete recovery.

TOWARD THE PARK.

Quite Number of Handsome New
 Residences to be Erected on upper
 Orange Street.
 Quite an interest is being awakened among the inhabitants of the upper northern section of the city over reports that big building boom is projected for that section On ln- quiry the boom does not take large dimen- sions, but is quite noteworthy. It seems that half a dozen lots on Orange above Ed wards street have been purchased by as many different persons, and these lots are sold at a low figure for that location in order to induce the building up of that section and the consequent enhancement in price of the land remaining. A large part of it belongs to the Whitney estate, Mir. Stephen Whitney, whose residence is on tha hill just above Lawrence street, being one of the heirs. Rumor says, by the way, that MT. Whitney will not again occupy the Whitney place, at least for some time to come, and that he will reside on Long Island, near New York. The lots are sold with the stipulation in the deed that the buyer shall within certain specl- fled period erect a residence upon the land purchased not to cost less than $5,OOO. Among the recent buyers is MT. John Healy, we'll known on State street in the business portion as the proprietor of the Sagwa bit ters and who ran the Indian shows that ex hibited hers two or three years ago, one on State street and one each on Congress and Dixwell avenues, at which Indian medicines were sold and acrobatic and ether feats given by the Indians. MT. Healy, rumor says, cleared $30,Oo last year and is worth to-day hundred thousand dol lars, the result of his foresight and enter prise. He is erecting s7,O00 house on his land on Orange street, which is near Law renee, and his partner in the Kickapoos h. dian enterprise has purchased one also near by and will soon erect 8 handsome house thereon. Also lot has been bought by Mr. Humiston, of the firm of Morgan & Humiston O., dealers in sash, blinds, doors, etc, in this city, and two of his partners have also purchased lots near by. All three will erect handsome houses in a short time. These lots are above the two houses built and occupied by the Messrs. Matthews, of the New Haven Paper Co.,, State street. Also Mir. c. w. Crockett. secretary and treasurer of the New Haven Concrete Co.,, has pur- chased lot above the Matthews houses and will probably build upon it in the spring
