I. J. Wells.

Isaac J. Wells, one of Sandy Hooks aged men, died suddenly, Tuesday after noon, after an illness of but two weeks, 72 years and four months old. He had worked at the shop and was in his usual health, until Tuesday night, fortnight before. when he was attacked by kidney difficulty, from which he never rallied. He was fully conscious of his condition and that death might occur at any mo- ment. For the last few nights, it was necessary to administer opiates to induce sleep and ease the terrible pain which constantly beset him.
 |. J. Wells, who was one of Sandy Hooks well known and popular residents, was born in Zoar, Newtown, in 1877. He early learned the shoemaker's trade and carried on the business at his home in Zoar for number of years, removing to Sandy Hook about B years ago. The business, at one time carried on by Wells < White, was conducted by Mir Wells alone for many years, until, with his son Arthur, the firm of I. J. Wells & Son was formed, some 16 years ago.
 March 26, 1887, Mir Wells married Miss Mariette Tough of Bridgeport, who died September 5, Is46. They had three chil- dren, William and George, who are now in Woodbury, and Mariette (Mrs George Brown) of Jersey City. September 6, lS47, MT Wells married for his second wife Abigail Whitlock, who survives him. Four children were born to them: thur, who died in infancy and is buried in Berkshire; Arthur, Katie (Mrs An drew Knapp of Naugatuck) and Charles.
 MT Wells was d member of Hiram lodge, No. IS, of Sandy Hook and the flu neral, which occurred Friday at l 30 D m, from the house, was with Masonic honors. Rev A. P. Chapman officiated and the burial was at Berkshire, the bearers being chosen from Masonic ranks,

Hawleyville -Newtown- -Westport.

There appears good grounds for say ing that the Saugatuck Valley road will be built in the near future. George D. Chapman has secured control of the She- paug, Litchfield and Northern road and has been elected president. Legislative consent to the consolidation of the She paug with the proposed road was obtain ed, at the eleventh hour. The survey be- tween Westport and Hawleyyille, which generally followed the layout establish- ed in 1884 by Surveyor Curtis, but never finished, has now been completed and Chief Engineer Bowler expects to begin work at any time on the four mile spur to Newtown.
 Lawyer Moses ". Wilson of Vest port, whom every one recognizes as a shrewd attorney, has been actively en- gagged in furthering the project and is virtually at it's head. It was he who pushed through the Legislature the bill for consolidation and was largely instru- mental in procuring the sale of the She paug. It was with him, instead of Mi I Chapman. that Landlord Houlihan talk ed at Hartford and who gave assurances of the building of the road. Lawyer
 Wilson has written, asking Town Clerl
 Houlihan and Selectman Glover to meel
 him at the Grand Central to ascertain ths
 ownership of land crossed by the New town branch and take steps for securing the right of way. It is still hoped tha i practical route can be found to bring
 the Main line to Newtown.
 Lawyer Wilson also enquired as t. v Newtown's capabilities in the matter Q , subscriptions and was assured by Sherii !. Glover that there should be no difficult, n in obtaining $5O00 or s10,00O. This wa n satisfactory. M. J. Houlihan and M. r Hawley have already signified their wi g lingness to subscribe and others ar
 ready to follow. When it is distinctl
 understood that not dollar of the sui # scriptions will be required until after tf Q first train has run over the road, thel ,. should be no difficulty in obtaining tl
 required amount at once.
