TONI&HT’S THE NIGHT FOR BARREL BURNERS. One Norwich Gang Has 300 for Annual Thanksgiving Feature. In sccotdance with the custom pe- euliar to Norwieh alone, the skics will be ililuminated this evening by the glare of scores and scores of burning barrels gathered by the youth of the city at a eost of mueh effort and no little risk of a beating during the past | month or two, Many a goed woman has been filled with wrath when she discovered tha contents of her ash barrel dumped in the middle of the walk and the barrel itself nowhere in evidenee, During the past two weeks there have been two gangs of youns- sters in the elty court, where they were given a lecture as the result of their depredations on boxes and bar- rels. The boys report that the season has been a favorable one and that the supply of barrels is quite up to the usual erop, so that there need be no dearth of fllumination this evening. To the boy there seems to be an un- limited amount of pleasure in stealing into someone's backyard after dark, “swiping” a barrel, and “beating it” off with the spofls. The idea that his act may be a little hard on the owner of the barrel never appaers to the boy,who enerally considers that the only crime & “swiping barrels” lies In getting caught. Bonfires will be kept going on all the | hills and vacant lots about the city during the day while the gangs are putting up poles and stringing barrels | thereon. And tonight the grand illumi- | natlon, the blazing of the high stacks | of barTels, the shooting sparks and the burned fingers, will be sufficient, in | the estimation of the boy, to repay him | for the work which he has put in col- lecting the fuel. The Scalpers announce that they have secured 300 barrels which they are to burn on the Sullivan garden on Boswell avenue. Division sireet, Jail Hill, Franklin street, Laurel ~Hill, Thamesville and Norwich Town ali come in for their share of the festivi- tles. OBSERVED THANKSGIVING WITH WHIST AND SOCIAL.

Good Work Stopping Runaway, ‘What would probably have been a disastrous runaway was prevented Wednesday morning by the quick ac- tion and display of nerve of M. F. Beckwith of Franklin. A horse be- longing to a fruit vender left standing in front of Otto Ferri's grocery store in Franklin street became frightened and ran déwn the street but was caught by Mr. Beckwith near the Ger- man Lutheran church, being stopped 50 suddenly that he fell to the ground.
