BEDDING.
A NOTABLE LANDMARK DEMOLISHED


 The old Heron house, one of the most nota- ble andmarks of Rsdding, is being demolished Around this ancient mansion quite stately in it's day many social and historic associations finger. Here long before the Revolution Squire Heron.a fine old Irish gentleman, lived in state, looked up to in his rutt1ed shirt and and knee brooches as something superior to the common herd. whom he was won't to call underbrush. After his dea tn his son, William. and daughters. Lozia and Lucy. naintained the dignity of the ancient house. Dying with out children the heritage passed into the hands Of strangers; gers; 1nt For many years years 1t was let to more and mors dfls pidated until 1t was unfit for habitation and was utilized as a barn and storehouse for farming utensils. Tradition has 1t that here the British officers on their march to Danbury storpe to dine and that while thus engaged patriot made of with mighty beans and sturdy rafters have defied the ravages of time for more than 150 years and bid fair to have lasted many year had not the hand of man lad th.s once stately mansion low. Thus passes away another link that binds Bedding wi,h the past.

BETHEL,
THE DANBURY DISASTER

No Bethel people were on either of the electric cars that collided between Danbury and the lake, last Saturday night. The last two cars left the lake about Il o'clock. The head car met the last car going west to Fry's Cor. ners. On leaving this station the mOtOrman can see ahead for quite a distance, but near the Brush place there is sharp curve in the road and the track hugs the bank where an over- hanging tree cuts off the view to less than one hundred feet ahead. This curve is the only dangerous place on the road. As ill luck would have it two cars met at high rate of speed, only giving the mOtOrmen time to re- verse power and set brakes when a fearful crash came which resulted in the wOunding of several passengers and injuring the west bound motor man so that he died on Tuesday morn ing. Edward J. Keating stuck to his post and was victim of the disaster. Eight or nine others got of with broken limbs and bad bruises, but will all recover. The coroner's inquiry will probably bring out facts and place the blame. The disaster brings out one fact, that the company should give strict orders for all mOtormen to run their cars at slow rate of. speed around this particularly dangerous curve. Public safety demands it.
 AMONG THE HATTERs.
 Workmen in the hat factories suf- fered greatly with the heat, last Tues day.
 Higson & Co.'S hat factory is still idle waiting for an arrangement of tinan- cial troubles in New York.

 WHO WOULDN'T BE THE ICE MAN?
 The ice men are the busiest men in town. The hot weather makes great demand for ice in the factories.
