A HORRIBLE DEATH AT SANDY HOOK

George w. Sexton, a brakeman on the New England road, met his death on Sunday night It appears his train was side tracked for the Washington express, and it is supposed he sat down beside the track to wait for the train. feh asleep and rolled over on to the track, his head resting on the rail. He of course never awoke to consciousness, as the cruel iron horse cut off the top and back part of his head. pr E. M. Smith, the med ical examiner, was at once notified, and repaired to the scene of the accident. Sexton had been in the employ of the road about two months, and had n1oth- CT dependent upon him. His home was at Fishkill. It is said that he was soon to be married. A brother soon arrived on the scene of the accident, and accom- panied his remains to New York state.

A fair day and 8 large crowd attended the picnic of Court Sandy Hook, No. 1852, A. o. F. of A., at Rocky Glen park, Monday. The first event of the day was the ball game between the Monitors of Bridgeport and the local nine, which took place early in the afternoon. To the lov- CTS of the game, it was the greatest event of it's kind ever in town, and devotee of the diamond in Sandy Hook declared that for a minimum of errors and all round good play by both hines, the game took front rank in amateur playing. The wis., iting nine won the game by the score of 4 to 3. Up to the ninth inning the game was tied at two tallies, but an error of judgment in the matter of fly in the in- field with the home team gave the visi- tors the victory. A very enthusiastic but bipartisan crowd witnessed the game but the favors of applause were impar- tially given good play on either side. The purse was $20.
 The crowds did not disperse with the conclusion of the ball game, but enjoyed the other pleasures afforded. Dancing was indulged in, and the.various refresh ment tables patronized generously. Very noticeable features were the good order that prevailed, and the large numbers of the older people who attended. An old country dance by two couples of the lat ter was a novel sight in these latter days of the stately dance and was received with enthusiasm ty the younger folks. Bliss orchestra with cornet accompani- ment furnished the music. A goodly number of former townspeople from Dan- bury, Bridgeport and elsewhere home for the holiday attended. All report having enjoyed themselves immensely and voted the occasion, commemorative of the fifth anniversary of Court Sandy Hook, one long to be remembered. The committee and officers of the society are satisfied with the public patronage on this occas- ion, a nice sum being netted the order, and in their behalf tender the public at | large the society's thanks.
 A brief history of this benefit order, its aims and objects, ,may not be out of place. Soul1 Nhhuy dOohs 4No' tCoS, AASiChG VT | der of Foresters of America was institut' ed in town July 25, 1890. During its five years existence it has paid out to it's l members in sick and death benefits $250C in round figures, and still has nearly | $500 to it's credit in bank. It pays $10C burial fund, $5 per week during sickness or disability, besides free medical attend. ance and medicine, at an annual cost ot 80 to each member, no more, no less. It is essentially the workingman's order, ! but it numbers in it's ranks men of every rank and calling, and in town it may be said to be an institution that has contrib uted much to the welfare and progress of those who, regardless of race, religion or politics, have subscribed to it's princi pies, liberty, unity, benevolence and con- cord.

WATERTOWN.
THE wATERTowN FAIR.

'
 The 29th annual fair of the Watertown Agricultural and Horse association will be held at Hillside park on Wednesday afd Thursday. the 11th and 18th of Sep. tember, 1895. Special premiums will be give in Class H, poultry. Special pre- miums will also be given in Class B. The fair will be held two days this year instead of three as heretofore. William c. French, president of the association says: ssIt must not be understood that although the fair is being only held two days that any of the display or attrac- tions of former years will be omitted but on the contrary we expect it to have it brighter and better than any of the preceding fairs.' William French is one of the brightest and brainiest of Watertown's citizens and his popularity has been tested many times by holding the office of first selectman in a town which has republican majority of 75, he being democrat. MT French's name is known outside of Watert0wn, too, having served in the Legislature, being
 .e nominated for senator and defeated by a small majority, before the last guberna- torial contest. The other officers of the association are A. H. Scovill secretary, c. F. Pritchard assistant secretary, and w. J. Munson treasurer, each name of which implies business and capability for the office. The 29th fair ought to be made grand success. Whether future fairs will ever be held depends on the fair to be held September II and 12. Those who have the success of the insti- tute to heart, and who would regret it's being discontinued, try and do something to make this one a success. If you can't do anything else, 20 to the fair and show
 by your presence that you appreciate the arduous labors of the executive officers.
