THE MAYOR MISSING
The City Council Meet and
Transact Important
Business.
City Lighting Plays No Unimportant Part.
A regular meeting of the City Coun-
cil was held last evening. In the ab-
-serce' of Mayor Wheeler, President
.31 yer filled his chair with grace and
ability.
After the reading of the minutes of
the previous meeting by Clerk Lock'
wood, petitions were in order.
The first on the list was that of the
Phoenix Engine company asking for
new uniforms. It was' explained that
the company’s uniforms had been in
. use for eight or more years. The mat
ter of purchasing new uniforms wa'
referred to the chairman of the fire
committee.
John Greenwood called attention to
the sewage system on Spring Hill and
found fault with the way that surface
'water on the east side of the hill was-al-
lowed to “swash” over into adjoining
property on the east side. He suggest-
ed that catch-basins be built to receive
the same. The matter was referred to
the committee on sewers.
Attorney J. Belden Hurlbutt ap-
peared in the matter of assessment for
taxes on the William Grace property.
He thought his client Mrs. Grace was
wrongly assessed. In his remarks on 11
the subject he said that in his opinion a
proper adjustment might be made and
that while Mr. Grace might morally be
liable, in his judgment the owner 0
the property, Mrs. Grace, W48 not liable
for the taxes assessed, her husband be
ing a pensioner. He said that he sim:
ply presented the case for the considera-
tion of the council to save bringing ac-'
tion against the city in favor of his
client. The matter was referred to the
city counsel and the finance committee.
Bills from the various departments
amounting to $1,536 09 were ordered
paid.
According to the police rep01t there
were nineteen arrests in this city last
month and 585 tramps were provided
with lodgings.
The Public Library reported through
the librarian 3 715 visitors last month,
and the new book cards issued. as 87.
A petition for a grade on Cross street
was referred to the highway committee.
Appropriations of $1,000 cash. to _'the
highway, sewer and finance depart-
ments were voted. _
The matter of abatements of taxes as
presented by the tax collector were re-
ferred to the finance committee.
Letters were received and read from
the-Consolidated road in reply to those
sent by the City Attorney in reference
to the speed of trains at the Water
street crossing and the placing of the
covering over the Wall street tunnel in
better repair.
Speaking as a representative of the
company, J. E. Martin promisedto
have the evil of the speed of trains
remedied, and expressed surprise that
the tunnel covering was not in a satis-
factory condition, and stated that he
would have the same placed in proper
condition without delay.
Councilman Hill reported that he
had had protection bars placed across
the sewer openings on the several
streets complained of at a previous
meeting.
Councilman Tristram explained why
the Welsbach firm had failed to give a
public exhibit of the working of their
lamps on the streets of the city by stat-
ing that the firm had been too busy in
other cities in placing their lights, but
thought that such r‘xhihitiori would
reach Norwalk as earl. a~ ibis .-vening.
He further said that representatives
of the Norwalk & South Norwalk Elec-
tric Light company had told him that
they had found through an in vestige-
tion several leakages in the wires
through which the city had been fur-
nished with light and that the fault
would be remedied. Furthermore that
the company proposed expending $15.-
000 at the plant, which was inci-
dentally dependent on the fact of a re-
newal of the contract with the city for
the lighting of the streets. The com-
pany, he reported, hadea disposition to
meet the city more than half way in the
matter of a contract. The company he
said was surprised to learn that there
was any competition as to the lighting
of the streets. Nevertheless they
wanted a “yes” or “no” at as early a.
date as possible.
The sale of the old council room
table to the Town Court was left in the
hands of the finance committee with
ower.
The council then adjourned to meet
on Monday evening, December, 28th.
A Popular Boniface.
The Norwalk hotel is as it has ever been
under the present management the
Mecca 'of the traveling public. Landlord
Tuttle seeks and not in vain, to please
his guests, hence his rapidly increasing
trade. There is not a drummer from
Norwalk to Chicago but that has met
or heard of him, and when in Norwalk
make it a point to “hoodo” all landlords
and shake hands with Boniface Tattle.
It is a trite saying that “Tis not every
man who knows how to run a hotel.”
The party who made the remark enjoys
the distinction of having met the party
who conducts the Norwalk Hotel.
STRIGKEN HOMES.
MRS JONATHAN CAMP.
By blood of Cannon stock and by
bridal of Camp connection this repre-
sentative of two of earlier Norwalk’s
solid households ceased from her labors
just after the transient but peaceful
gloaming of Friday evening last. The
deceased was a remarkable woman.
She was the oldest grandchild of James
and Rebecca Gould Cannon, and dur-
ing nearly eighty-nine years of human
life has exemplified the doctrine of the
crest motto of her ancient family,
“Firmior quo Paratior,” which freely
translated runs, Oue’s strength consists
in being ever well prepared. This ex-
actlv expresses her great character-
trait. Had she a Florida trip to make
as thejcompanion of an invalid husband,
train and tide were her servants, not
masters; or did she plan a visit to a be-
loved Western son-in-law, she was, if
set wherein to start for, or return from
the White Mountains, the Berkshire
Héights or Watch Hill, and she was
promptly on hand. Her landlord
abroad and her friends at home knew
just whento expect her,.and she was all
ready had an emergency occurred. It
was an instructive lesson to Witness her,
even at fourscore, reach at the moment,
to start for a. Christmas Eve serv1ce,
albeit a drive of over twenty miles was
involved and an almost midnight out-
ing; and yet this same individual would
be about the very first person to "reach
the parish church at the Christmas
worship the next morning. Hers has
been a surprising record. She belonged
to the same sensible, practical and
worthful school as did Mrs. Ebenezer,
Church, Mrs. Daniel Nash, Mrs. Isaac
Belden, Mrs. Henry Chichester and
Mrs. Samuel St. John, a galaxy of Nor-
walk names. She imposed upon no one
and she would permit no one to impose
upon herself. As a lessor of the Camp
estate she always acted upon the square
and she demanded the same from every
lessee. Thriftlessness had her sympathy,
were there good cause for it, but shut-
lessness she could not endure. Tax
bills, insurance rates and pew rents slie
punctually paid. She was a true wo-
man and lived the life of a true wo-
man, and was one of the oldest com-
municants of the Protestant Episcopal
church in the diocese of Connecticut.
She understood her creed, she loved
her church’s prayers and was a constant
attendent upon its services, joming
audibly, down to within two or three
hours of her departure, in a portion of
its litany and then bowing her aged
head to receive its benediction. The
sun of an Advent day had gone down.
and resplendent Orion was rising over
Jarvis Hill facing her window whin
the pendulum marked the bridegroom’s
arriving hour and she fell on sleep and,
was gathered to her Fathers, leav’ng
to her family the memory-legacy of a
rare mother and to the parish of St.
Paul’s and the town of Norwalk, that of
a loyal daughter’s diligence, discretion,
decision and devotion.
SILAS BURR SHERWOOD.
This well known and much resprcted
resident of Westport died at his home
in Greens Farms on Saturday, aged
sixty-seven years. Mr. Sherwood was
afarmer by occupation, but his good
sense and integrity were of tuch a high
order that he was frequently called to
places of honor and trust by his fellow
townsmen, and for the last sixteen
years he was Judge of Probate for the
Westport Probate District, cemprising
the towns of Weston and Westport, and
atthe time of his death was President
of the State Probate Assembly. As a
Probate Judge he was best known and
in that office wherein a judge is often a
friend and-counsellor as well ; as judge,
be discharged his duties honestly,
promptly, and yet with such good sens:
and friendliness as t) gain something
better than popularity—genuine re
spect.
Central Club Meeting.

club to be in the most flourishing con-
dition were given by the officers and

Stories of a Farm on the Shore,” to the
members 0f the club Friday at three

CO
A MUSICAL DISSENSION.
The Members ofa Church Not in Accord
With the Choir.
The following clipping from the New
York Tribune will, we believe, be of in-
terest to Norwalk people:
The disafi'ection among the members
of the choir of St. James’s Protestant
Episcopal Church has now affected the
boys. The particular cause of their
dissafi'ection appears to have been the
importation of foreign contract labor—
that is to say, Walter H. Hall, the or-
ganist, who took charge of the music at
the church some stme ago, has recently
brought to the church some of the choir
boys from :St. Anne’s church, Brooklyn,
where he had direction of the music be-
fore coming to St. James’ church.
The original choirboys were not slow
to manifest their disapproval. and they
went so far as to push and shove the
other boys at rehearsal. Consequently
they were discharged, and the new
boys had the field to themselves last
Sunday. The janitor of St. James’
church says that the congregation is
well rid of the boys. He says they all
come from the neighborhood of lower
First avenue, which is evidently equiva-
lent, in his mind, to saying that they
were a hopeless lot.

A LARGE BLAZE.
Saugatuck Was visited at an early
hour Wednesday morning by one of
the meat destructive fires in the later
history of the town.
Jurt before 4 o’clock that morning,
Mrs. Allen who lives near what was or-
iginally known as the Saugatuek Iron
Works, was awakened by a bright light
shining in the window‘and alarmed her
husband who on looking out saw that
the Works were on fire.
Ofiicer Albert Allen gave the alarm
and the fire departments of Saugatuck
and Westport responded, and did active
work in trying to quench the flames,
but the building, a brick structure, was
doomed, and the firemen turned their
attention to adjoining property, with
good result.
The entire woodwork on the building
was burned out and only the brick
walls remain. It was owned by Horace
Staples and Andrew and Edward Nash .
The plant is said to have originally cost
$60,000. but was lately valued at $30,-
000. There was no insurance 4 on the

Norwalk Hospital.
The committee on location for the
proposed new hospital were out yester-,
day and viewed several eligible sites,
but decided on no one of them definite-

and easily accessible location, with
from five to ten acres of land, if it were
practicable. The lot on the Turnpike

[chart Took P0111011 Shortly -Beforo tfid
Hour ‘Sot For His Execution.
annsaaann, Pa., Dec. 9.—There was
great excitement at the county jail early
today when Warden Boland was aroused
from his slumbers by one of the watch-
men, who reported to him that Murder-a
Abram Eck‘ert, who was to have been ex-
ecuted at 10 o’clock today for the murder
of Frederick T. Bittenbender on July 7,
1895, at .Nanticoke, Pa., had taken poison
and was dying. The warden hurried to
Eckert’s cell and found him breathing
heavily. He quickly telephoned for phyo
siclans. When they entered the condemned
man’s cell, they saw that he had taken
poison and taken it in such a quantity as
to probably insure death.
The doctors at once applied the stomach
pump. It is their opinion, however, that
the poison will kill Eckert.
When Eckert retired at midnight, he
was then in the best of spirits. He had
just bade his family farewell. The deaths
watch was placed over him, as usual. Eek-
ert said he wanted to be awakened at 6
o’clock. When the hour of 6 arrived, one
of the men on the watch tapped the mur- .
derer on the shoulder and told him to
arise. But there was no answer. Then
the prisoner was shaken lively, but his
only response was a. groan. The watch be-
came alarmed and. notified the night
watchman, who in turn notified the ward-
en. How the poison reached the prisoner
Is a mystery. It is believed it was brought
into the prison by one of his relatives, and
that Eckert took the fatal dose shortly
after he retired.
'Sherifi Martin said to a rcpresentative
of the press that the law gave him until 3
o’clock to execute the prisoner. He said
he would not drag the man out of his bed
in an unconscious condition to hang him,
but if he should regain consciousness and
be able to walk before 3 o’clock he Would
see that the law was carried out.
Eckert died later from the effects of the
poison.
Daniel Reese, who was employed on the
deathwatch, says Eckert was nervous all
night. At 6 o’clock this morning he want-
ed Reese to vacate the bed, as he said the
presence of the deathwatch made him
nervous. Reese, who was seated on the
side of the bed, refused to move. Eckcrt
then turned over and by a. quick move
swallowed the poison—at least that is what
. the watchman thinks. The murderer only
took the poison when he saw his last hope
gone.
YALE UNIVERSITY.
The Guelat Library to Be Returned—Its
Partly Spurious Character.
NEW HAVEN, Dec. 9.—Some months
ago it was announced that a friend of Yale
university had bought for the university
library what was supposed to be the valu-
able library of the late Rudolph von
Gneist, professor of law at the University
of Berlin and formerly a member of the‘
German reichst.;g. The library was sup-
posed to be rich in works on constitutional
law, scientific books and sets of various
journals. It consisted of about 10,000
volumes and dissertations. When the col-
lection reached the Yale library not long
ago, it was found that only about half the
works had belonged to Professor von
Gneist, and that the collection had been
padded out with other works not desried.
An offer was then made for the Gneist
works to the Leipsic bookseller owning the
library, and who had not been paid, but it
was not accepted, and now the library will
be packed up and returned to him this
week.
Thread Mill Consolidation.
LONDON, Dec. 9.-—The Coates Thread

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.——Tliere were three
Republican senators only in the marble
room today when the Republican caucus
was to have been called to order. They
were Messrs. Sherman (Rep. 0.), Hawlsy
(Rep, Conn), and Carter (Rep, Mon).
Others sufi‘icient to constitute a quorum,
however, came in during the next 15 or
20 minutes.
Themost noticeable feature of the can-
cus, as seen from the outside, was the ab-
sence of the men who had bolted the nom-
ination of McKinley because of the gold
standard platform. Those who were ab-
sent on this account were Senator Dubois
(Ida. ), Pettigrew (S. D. ), Mantle (Mon. ),
Cannon (Utah), Squire (Wash. )and Tel-
ler (COL) All of these except Senator Tel-
ler were in the city, and could have at--
tended if they had been so disposed. In
fact, some of them were in their commit-

lowing letter, dated today, and addressed
to Senator Sherman, chairman of the cau-
cus of Republican senators, which Senator
Dubois sent and which was read to the

to order by Senator Sherman:

had remained within their part” were as a

ance. Senator Carter of Montana, who re-
fused to accept the Dingley tariff bill and

The caucus adjourned at 11:20, having
been in session for less than an hour. In
that time, however, an unusual amount of
business was transacted, and the caucus
was pronounced by those present to have
been one of the smoothest and most busi-
nesslike they had ever attended. It was
an exception to the rule in caucuses in
that there were 'no long speeches and verv
few. speeches of any character.
Dubols’ Successors.
Senator Dubois’ letter of resignation
was received without a. word of comment.
Senator Lodge moved the election of Sena.-
tor Wilson of Washington in his stead as
secretary, while Senator Shoup was placed
on the executive committee in the place
vacated by his colleague. This committee
was also enlarged by the addition of Sena-
tor Hansbrough.
The advisability of trying to pass the
Dingley tariff bill was the main topic of
discussion, though the meeting had been
called for the purpose of agreeing upon a.
programme for the entire session. This
question, however, was referred to the
steering committee, with instructions to
investigate as to the likelihood of getting
the bill through and to devise a. means to
that end if possible. It; was the prevailing
opinion that the best policy demanded the
passageof the bill if possible to encompass
it, but the opinion seemed quite as general
that this result was not within the range
of the possibilities.
The entire question was referred to the
committee, with very liberal powers.
Senator Gear brought up the Pacific
railroad question, as did Senator Ledge the
immigration bill. The Pacific road bill
was referred to the steering committee, but
after Mr. Lodge had explained the status
of the immigration bill the caucus decided
to stand by that as a. party measure and to
press for its early consideration.
The caucus also decided for an interna-
tional conference on silver by agreeing to
11. resolution introduced by Sena-tor W01-
cott providing for the appointment of’ a.
special committee of five senators to devise
a. plan during the present session to secure
such a conference.
