4 MERIDEN ROMANCE.

Hearts United After Years of Separation.
 [From the Meridcn Republican,
 Over thirty years ago Lavina Car penter, for many years popular nurse, and John H. Wilcox, now war vete- ran and pensioner, were engaged to marry. At that time Miss c. was very sick and was told that she had consumption and could not live. Not caring to burden her affianced with the care of sick woman, Miss Carpenter would not marry her lover Later Mir. Wilcox married another lady who died about two years ago.
 Notwithstanding the doctors verdict, Miss Carpenter recovered, and to-day, although sixty-one years of age, is as sprightly and well as woman of forty. Her old affianced, John H. Wilcox, is now sixty-two years of age, and is con- ducting a store on State street. He is a member of Merriam post, and that VI 6oilAotiOLS do WCll NAC 6CHSl dl public and their many friends will be surprised to learn that he and Miss Carpenter are to marry September IS. The ceremony will be performed at five o'clock that afternoon at the residence of Rev. J. c. Wilson on Broad street. But few intimate friends will be invi- ted to attend the ceremony. The re- ception, which will follow, will be held at the brides home on the corner of State and East Main streets, where the couple will live in the future.
 When Miss Carpenter was inter- viewed, this morning, she remarked that 1t was never too late to mend and thought it a huge joke to surprise her acquaintances. She was as happy as young bride and was delighted to be given an opportunity of talking the matter over with the reporter. About eight years ago MT. Wilcox was so low that he was given up for dead, and in order to save time Merriam post made all arrangements for his funeral. They even went so far as to order the flow CTS. MT.

CONNECTICUT STATE FAIK.

The Connecticut state fair is on trial this year, in its efforts to furnish an exhibit of the products of the state from the farm and the garden. the orchard and the dairy. the shop and the factory. in fact of all the various industries of the state. some good friends whose opinions the managers
 respect, have claimed that from a desire to increase the attendance and furnish amusement for all. the side shows have been allowed to occupy por- tions of the grounds needed for the ac- commodation of the exhibitors and visi- tors at the fair. and that some of the "fakirs" have not kept within the bounds of propriety or obeyed the laws of the state.
 In answer to these appeals and in accordance with their own intentions and desire always held. for to them the moral character and influence of the fairs has taken precedence of any desire to draw a crowd and fill the treasury by allowing any ''side shows" or "fakirs' which were In any way aga'n good morals and the laws of the state a change has been made No privileges were rented for the sale of liquor, or for the practice of any games of chance. The officers of the society and the police have kept close watch for any attempted evasions of the law and the prompt punishment of the offenders has followed. This year not only will all these parties be more carefully scrutinized but all side shows will be moved to a location that will not interfere with the convenience of exhibitors or visi- tors.
 An appeal is made to the citizens of the state, who. rather than the socie- ty, are on trial at this time, to sus- tain the fair by their exhibits of every industry. and by their presence to show | their approval of the efforts of the managers. and that increase of revenue may prove that our citizens do want to see an honest exhibit of all good things that grow or are made in the state of Connecticut.
 | The citizens of Meriden and adjoin- ing towns are especially interested in the success of this fair. as the last one was not pecuniary success, and upon them especially rests the respon- | sibility for the present and future of the society.
 Some good friends knowing what we are doing say, "you have done well but you have not gone far enough" With the proper encouragement We are ready to go as they would ask, for it would be only support and strength ening of our long settled convictions.

Connecticut Fairs.

The committee in charge of the ar engagements of the grange fair, which is to be held in Wells hall, East Hart ford, September 25, 26 and 27, mailed 800 premium lists to the, people of East Hartford last night. There will be a theatrical performance each night of the fair with change of program. Several new and Imaginable farces will be introduced and there is reason to believe that the entertainments will be an enjoyable attraction.
 The Windsor Agricultural society has sent a request to the Windsor Locks Wheel club to send a racing team of four men to race against like team of Windsor riders on Morris park the first day of the Winsted fair, the win ming team to have four silver medals and each team to pay an entrance fee of s4. The letter has been referred to the racing committee with power to act in the matter, but 1t is not general ly looked upon with favor. The society seems to want to use the team for a drawing card and also to have the rid CTS pay for the medals. A few of the men are anxious for the race.

Hartford Mans Experience in Western
 Forest Fires.

Hartford, Sept. "A. H. Cling CT, a travelling salesman for the Wil- liam Rogers Manufacturing Co.,. was in the midst of the Minnesota forest fires, and his house received an interesting letter from him yesterday. dated at St. Paul, Sunday, September 9. He de- scribes the scenes of the afternoon and night before. He says:
 "Our train of six coaches was caught in the midst of a dense forest fire by whirlwind of flames, cracking the win dows and firing the cars in a thousand places at once, while we poor passen- gers were lying on the floor watching the sheets of flame over us as our train was being pushed backwards. The en- gineer was overcome by the intense heat three times during the short run of four miles, when he stopped us in little marsh of stagnant water. We all then abandoned the cars and sought refuge in the slimy water, and pre- served our lives by scooping holes for our heads and using coats and petti- coats to Slllelu our HeduS HUH lIle steady downpour of fire for one hour and thirty minutes, when the wind shifted and kept us prisoners in the hole until four o'clock this Sunday morning. Your humble servant lost everything by the fire, as telegraphed from Rush City; both of your sample trunks, and all my clothes and grips, old order books, expense books. ad- vance postals and business cards, only saving what I had on my back. As my eyes are in a very bad condition, caused by the, scorehing heat, and l am not able to keep them open, a friendly stranger from California has volunteered to write for me; and as I cannot see and have no samples, will go to Des Moines, Ia., tonight, and re- main there until you send me new line of samples and my eyesight re- turns. There were over five hundred lives lost in this fire; the railroad track was lined with bodies."

 The autumnal season, when nature puts on her garb of many hues and glorious colors, is the most delightful time for making a tour. All who have read the many word pictures describ- ing Niagara would say seeing alone satisfies when one becomes over whelmed with the marvellous flood and rush of waters. The reality Is far greater than any mental picture. Ma ture here astonishes and enraptures herself. This fascinating four-days trip leaving Tuesday, Sept, 11th, while giving ample time to see the wonders of this world-renowned spot, also gives an opportunity on Thursday, the 18th, if visitors should prefer, to visit To- ronto, the famous English city, and attend the great Industrial exposition. Lake Ontario, the great inland ocean, will be crossed en-route by a fine steamer, while the greatest variety of scenery can be enjoyed on the observa- tion train from Niagara Falls to Lewis ton, embracing magnificent views of the Whirlpool rapids. which in its death-like stiffness and perpendicular enclosure would make an effective picture for Dante's Inferno.

Winsted. Sept. s.-Colonel A. G. Kel- logg walked down the lakeside drive to the pavilion yesterday. and returned to town by the steamer Carrie-remark- Ing that 1t was his first steamboat ride on Highland lake. The time was when the colonel was Wlnsted's most promin- ent builder, and its most conspicuous military character. He was one of the early volunteers during the war. and commanded a company in the Second Connecticut infantry. which went into the service in May 1861, under Colonel Alfred H. Terry. The community does itself credit when 1t recognizes its in debtedness to It's veterans of the war whose days of service are past.

WALLINGFORD.

A special meeting of the freemen of the borough is called for Saturday even- ing to take action on the petition of Isadore Appleton for abatement of taxes and water rent for ten years. Apple ton is engaged in making pocket flasks, and at present is conducting business at his own home on Simpson, avenue, but has rented small building, former ly an annex to othe glass shop on East Center street, but of late used by B. C. Lane for a henhouse. None of the other manufacturers asked or received abatement on water taxes for over five years.
 The proposed extension of Wall street opposed to the project, which they do not think is at all necessary at present, and 1t is recommended that instead of opening any new streets the ones in use at present about the borough be put in decent condition, which at present they are not Colony street, or at least a portion of it, is sadly in need of repairs, and other streets would furnish work for the road workers for some time to come and give better satisfaction to the taxpayers who have to use them.
 A man who gave his name as Robert Smith and claimed to hail from New Haven was about town Saturday after noon and was somewhat under the in- fluerice of: kquor, asked, Officer Reilly to arrest him and then send to his brother in Hartford for money to pay expenses.
