THE GI_T_Y_WINS.
City Attorney E. M. Lockwood won
a‘victory in the Supreme court against
the Norwalk Street Railway, in a de-
cision filed yesterday. The position
taken by the city is upheld, and the
company’s plans for double tracking a
certain portion of the 'city is defeated.
The company Was represented, 1by At-
torneys Perry, Perry & Hill, of Bridge?
port, {Laid J. W. Alling and‘ G. D.
Watrous of New Haven, and the City
of N orwalk by City Attorney Lock-
wood and Stoddard and Bishop of
Bridgeport. Last year the company
desired to replace the single tracks and
turnouts running on Main street in
N orwalk, between West street and
Harriet street. with double tracks, and
petitioned the mayor and common
council for permission.
The plans submitted by the company
were not approved and it was estimated
that the expense of making the change
would fall heavily on certain land own-
ers and that public convenience and
necessity did not require the change.
The railroad company appealed from
the decision of the council, the lat-
ter claiming that the superior court
had no jurisdiction over the matter,
owing to the fact that it was not of a
judicial character. Judge Hall, how-
ever, held that the plan of the company
was a righteous one and that the per-
mission asked should be granted. He
therefore decided in favor of the com-
pany. The city then carried the case
to the supreme court and that tribunal
has decided in favor and holds that the
lower court erred and that the position
of the city should be sustained. The
opinion was written by Judge Hammers-
ley.
A;
THE SU‘NDAVY LAW.
The new Sunday law, ”which goes into
ethect to day was framed at the request
of the Congregational church societies.
Lawyer R. G. Newtown of New Haven,
who was a member of the church com-
mittee. says:
“ The law was intended more to con-
trol Sunday sport than the Opening of
places of business and food supply. The
committee held that bicycle riding,
trolley trafiic and Sunday steamboat
exc-m‘sions should not be allowed. I am
sure that the law will allow restaurant
keepers to sell food on Sundays and
certainly ice-cream is food, and very
refreshing food, too, this weather. The
clergymen who were on the committee
agreed that they did not wish to con-
struct a law that would demand an 0“-
servance of Sunday in the religious
idea. but simply one that would allow
people to pass the day in peace and
quiet, and which would shut down all
the sports—all the boisterous celebra-
tions of the day. We wanted to stop
baseball playing, merry-go-rounds and
such things, and I don’t believe that
,, soda-water fountains and ice-cream par-
lors will be molested if they continue
to keep open Sundays. ”
ITINER‘ANTV LAW.
To-day the ne law governing itiner-
ant peddlers goes into effect.
The itinerant vendor can do no mo "e
business in this state after yesterday
without registering at the oflice of the
state treasurer, handing over $300 as a
special deposit to secure citizens of the
state against loss and paying $25 for a
state license. This state license is sub-
ject to the local license, which must be
prOcured of the clerk of the town, city
or borough where the business is to be
done at a cost of $5, when the clerk
makes a minute of the transaction 0.1
the back of the state license. A fail-
“ui-t of the vendor to'take out a local
license, or to have his state license in-
dorsed subjects him to the same pen-
alty (850 and costs and imprisonment
not exceeding 60 days, or both), as if
he had not made his regular deposit or
taken out a state license for one year.
This special deposit remains in the
hands of the state treasurer for 90 days
after the state license has been returned
and cancelled, subject to attachment
by creditors whose claims have arisen
"in connection with the business done in
this state and under the order of the
court the Treasurer can pay over the
sum due.
This measure has none of the defects
of the law of 1893, which was pronounced
unconstitutional: but it is believed to
be just to the vendors as well as a pro-
tection to home merchants.

State A. 0. H. Parade.
County President John P. Murphy
will shortly issue a circular to the var-
ious divisions of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians, to the effect that at the re-
cent annual couvention of county and
"state officers, held in Torrington, a
vote was passed recommending that a
state parade be held next year in com-
memoration of the 100th anniversary of
the battle of Vinegar Hill, during the
uprising in 1708. The vote also recom-
mends that the parade be held in Wa-
terbury on May 23, 1898. .There are at
least 8,000 Hibernians in the state, and
this would mean something of a boom
to business if the members of the A. O.
H. turned out as strong as they have in
former years.

Here is a case in pomt:
Mr. R. G. Millard, of 51 West ave-

manufacturing business in “Test N or-
walk says “I have had kidney trouble
for years, and have taken so much
medicine and been under the care of
physicians so often that I ought to be
an authority on the question. I seemed
to be rid of my trouble for a time, but
it showed sigi s of returning and I
wanted to check it. I noticed some
published statements about Doane’s
Kidney Pills and procured a box at
Hale’s Pharmacy in Norwalk. They
helped me, and a continuance of the
treatment I believe will eventually ef-
fect a radical cure.”
Doane’s Kidney Pills help at first,
heal, strengthen, then cure. That is
their record everywhere and there are
many such cases. You can read about
them every day.

IS IT A BOYCOTT?
‘59)»‘hr‘rr .—. .-
A party from VVestport came to this
city early in the week for the purpose
of shopping, and while in conversation
with a merchant regaled him with the
statement that the VVestport people
were organizing against patronizing
the Norwalk Tramway cars from VVest-
port to Nowalk.
\Vhen jtresszd for more facts it was
stated that the citizens of that town ob-
jected to paying ten cents for a ride to
Norwall , preferring to walk to South
port and take the trolley cars to Bridge-
port. where the fare was only five cents.
Further information was imparted to
the effect that a number of gentlemen
had given strict instructions to their
families not to use the Tramway cars
under any circumstances while the fare
remained at ten cents.
From the information obtained by
the merchant he was led to believe
that there is considerable feeling in
VVestport against the Tramway com-
pan y over the rate of fare.
If such a feeling exists, and there
can be no doubt of the correctness of
the report, it would appear that Nor-
walk is losing considerable trade from
that section which would undoubtedly
come here were the fare reduced to
live, cents.
\Ve publish the story as reported to
us and it might be to the benefit of the
Tramway company to investigate, . and
if such a feeling exists we are of the
opinion that the Tramway company
would take steps to correct it,as we are
satisfied that they do not care to place
themselves in a position to not only
hurt the business of the town but their
own company as well.

The Waring brothers had a narrow
escape from drowning, Sunday night, in
the race of the mill-dam. They were
floating about in a valuable canoe just
below the dam and the suction of
the incoming tide. which was near the
full, drew them into the race. They
were obliged to dive under the gate.
The flow of the tide carried them over
200 feet before they come to the sur-
face inside of the dam. One of them
managed to climb a string~piece, but,
the other not faring so well, the safe
brother dove for him and helped him
ashore. The force of the water was so
great that one of them was bereft of
his coat, which was torn from him, and
a pocket-book containing $40. The
canoe was cut in half and practically
destroyed.

Don’t give them tea or coffee. Have
you tried the new food drink called
Grain-O? It is delicious and nourish-
ing and takes the place of coffee. The
more ‘Grain-O you give the children
the more health you distribute through
their systems. Grain-O is made of pure

tastes like the choice grades of coffee
