Benjamin, an operator on the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad at Branchville, had his collar bone broken and his jaw dislocated by colliding with a team as he was riding on a bike to his home at Redding Sun- day night. To the oft repeated question as to whether or not a vote would be taken on the question of “license” or “no li- cense” the answer can be found in the official notice of the annual town meet- ing which takes place on Monday, Oc- tober 4th, and in which notice of the matter is not incorporated. This be- ing the fact, Norwalk will remain as last year, a “license” town. On Saturday sixty-four persons were granted the electors’ franchise by the Selectmen. They were from the sev- eral districts tabulated as follows: 1st, 38; 2d, 22; 3d, 5. Twenty three women were restored to the list. One from the first district and 22 from the 2d dis- trict. No applications from the 3d dis- trict. Although not required to do so, the Secretary of State is sending out the official ballots to be used for voting on the Constitutional Amendments. The law provides for a separate ballot box with special box-tenders and checkers for the vote on the amendment, but does not provide for an envelope. Both “Yes” and “No” ballots have been sent out, each reading: Charles Whifney, a war veteran died at his home in North Wilton, yes- terday, aged 65 years. He was a mem- ber of Co. F, 17th C. V. and also of Buckingham Post, G. A. ‘R. The funeral will be attended from the Bel- den Hill church to-morrow afternoon at 3 o’clock.‘ ' Yesterday was the seventh anniver- sary of the organization of the Grace church society, and it was properly observed. The rector, Rev. Mr. Bel- lows preached a splendid sermon, and in the evening the Brotherhood of St. Andrew held a Union service in which like Brotherhoods took part, and at which meeting several prominent cler- gyman made remarks. It was alto"- gether a great day for Grace and one that was greatly enjoyed by all. “Constitutional amendment concern- ing an amendment to article XI of»'the amendments to the Constitution in re- lation to the qualification of electors.” N orwalk man, who was mysteriously , shot in Fairfield one day last week, is a ‘ most remarkable one. At present his chances for recovery seem to be im- proving, though when he was first taken to the Bridgeport hospital, there was little doubt that his injuries would soon prove fatal. Some idea of the nat- ure of the injuries sustained by Ryan may be had when it is recalled t‘l at the one bullet. Of these, holes, 13 were in the small intestines, four in the misen- tery, one in the bladder and one in the abdomen. If he recovers, the physi- cians will have material for a most im-» portant contribution to medical litera- ture. The following ladies who expressed a desire to vote on the school question, as is their privilegerreceived the prop- er qualifications as far as the law is con- cerned, and without doubt they had all of the other qualifications, were granted that privilege at a meeting of the. board of selectmen held Saturday last: Bertha M. Adams, Annie H. Archer, Mary K. Beard, Jennie Bedient. Agnes : E. Blanchard, Augusta F. Bracken, Helen T. Bracken, Julia. A. Barnes, 'A-bbie M. Coburn, Phebe E. Gashow,= .Anna L. Dickerman, Edith S. Gates, - Ida M. Light, Ada A. Lawton, Sarah lLawrence, Ruth T. Makin, Emma P. ! Nash, Anna M. Nash. Sarah M. Nash, [Annie S. Sherwood, Mary J. Street, ' Susan B. VVelch, Annie Waters. There wele others who thought that j they wanted to exercise such privilege ' and made application, but apparently exercised a woman’s right of changing her mind. They were Minnie Walls Anna L. Raymond, Delia E. Richard, son, Amelia A. Graham, Mary W. Graves, Georgianna Byxbee, Cornelia W. Bennett, Hattie H. Benedict. It was reported a short time ago that Mrs. Mary F. Hobbie, widow of the late Capt. Charles Hobbie of Darien, had received back pension money, and also an increase in her monthly allow- ance. The many friends of Mrs. Hob- bie will be sorry to learn, however, that such was not the case. She has neither received back pension money, nor an increase. Mrs. Hobbie is a woman worthy of getting this increase and it is hoped that she will be able to before long. ' Some days ago Alois Koehler of South Norwalk was arrested in New Canaan on the charge of delivering intoxicants in New 'Canaan at a place or places where it was alleged liquors were sold contrary to the law in such cases made and provided. At the time of his arrest, which was at a very early hour in the morning, about 400 bottles of what was alleged to be lager beer was confiscated. Koehler secured a bondsman and was released pending the date of his trial, but the liquor was held. The trial took place before Justice Silliman in New Canaan on Saturday, Attorney E. M. Lockwood appearing for the State and Attorney George A. Honnecker for the defendant. The justice found Koehler guilty and fined him $25 and costs from which de- cision he took an appeal to the Octo- ber term of the Criminal Superior Court. Subsequently a hearing in the mat- ter of the disposal of the goods seized was heard and they were ordered destroyed. Early Saturday evening a rather countrified looking young man accom- panied by a good looking, modest and bashful appearing maiden lady went into the Mahackemo hotel where the man registered as Martin C. Forrest, of Great Barrington, Mass. Landlord Walz was at the desk. Mr. Forrest called him aside with a “I want some information of importance to me and this young lady, will you give it to me ? , “Certainly,” answered the landlord, who at first acted as if he thought from the man’s nervous manner that he was liable to be stabbed or shot. “You know my name, it is there on the register. That young lady is Miss Decker and we want to get married. What I want to know though, and as quickly as possible, is where I can find the Town.Clerk to get a license. and I would like a minister immediately after I get the license. Be as quick as you can, we are in a hurry.” Mr. Walz instructed his guest where he could find the Town Clerk, and with a glance freighted with love and (li- rected towards the maiden lady, who had in the meantime been assigned to a room, but apparantly feeling lost had started down the stairs leading to the hotel lobby, started for a car. He had gone but a few steps when he started back and called out to the lady, “Hold on there Lena, I have forgotten your middle name and it may be very important about my getting that 1i cense.” She gave it to him with a loving glance that seemed to penetrate clean through his heart and out near the back seam of his Sunday-go—to~meet— ing coat. Mr. Forrest got away and boarded a car and succeeded in finding not only the town clerk and getting a license but in securing a minister in the per- son of Rev. F. A. Scofield. At the Town Clerk’s office he gave his name as Martin C. Forrest, di- vorced, age 38 and home; .Great Bar- The case of John Ryan, the young l ringtony Mass. surgeons sewed up 19 holes made by. ton, N.-Y., age 38 years. . The ceremony was performed by Mr. Scofield after which Mr. Forrest again visited the hotel clerk’s desk and add- ed “and wife” after his name with the remark, “This is a case where I don’t get left.” The happy couple left on an early train for New York. “May their hap- piness continue to be through life as it seemed to be now.” remarked an old bachelor as they left the hotel. The executors of the estate of the late Horace Staples of Westport, Messrs. Bradley, Jennings and Wood- worth, are very likely to have a- hard time in keeping the estate of the de- ceased intact. The heirs of the es- tate of the late Edward J. Staples of Bridgeport have given notice of a claim against the estate of their uncle for $15,000. Then again the grandson of the late Horace, William G. Staples of VVestport, has, through his attor- ney, Samuel Fessenden, appealed from the probating of the old gentleman’s will. These actions will cause a good deal of litigatitn and promise, before they are over, to bring out some inter- esting family history. On the other hand, the executors of the estate have a property worth at least $218,000 at their command, and with unrestricted authority have intimated that they are abundantly able to cope with those who attack the will or the estate. The heirs of the estate of the late Edward J. Staples, who was a brother of Horace, are Edward J. Staples of I New York, and W. Miner Staples. Mrs. I Sldney Bishop, and Howard Staples of Bridgeport. The latter is the adminis- trator of the estate of his father, and the claim against the estate of his late uncle is made through him. It is un- derstood, however, that all four chil~ dren are equally interested. W. Miner Staples says no suit had yet been brought. The only action so far taken is that the executors of the estate have been notified, according to law of the claim. He also said the heirs of the estate of the late Edward J. Staples, who died in Bridgeport, 35 years ago, presented Sept. 15 last, to the executors of the estate of Horace Staples, late of VVest- port, a claim of $15,000. The heirs feel i justly entitled to a large amount in equity from their uncle, owing to one insurance policy given years ago as 001- ' lateral security by their father. ‘0. —~ DARIEN. Rev. S. J. Austin and wife will make their annual two weeks’ pilgrimage to Boston, in about two weeks. The supper of the Congregational Ladies’ Aid Society, which was to be held Thursday evening, Oct. 7, has been postponed until the following week, the evening not decided upon. Several members of the Middlesex club, with a number of young ladies, are informally organizing for the pur- pose of playing golf. A lot has been secured. The enclosure has a natural bunker, and is large enough to allow six holes to be made. CIThevcase against Alexander VVuerz, charged with having seduced Mary Weir under the promise of marriage, has been settled out of court. Richard Croker, the Tammany chief- tain, has purchased two building lots, on Collender’s Point from John D. Crimmins, and it is said will soon be- gin the erection of a magnificent resi- dence thereon. Other wealthy and in- fluential New Yorkers, who are now subject to the personal tax, are serious— ly considering the advisability of changing their place of residence, and have cast eyes towards the handsome properties at Collender’s. There has been trouble during the past year between the Darien select- men. Mr. Mackey, the first selectman, got out an annual report a few days ago, and it is stated that he signed the names of the other selectmen without their permission or even' knowledge of it. It is understood from good authority that both of the other selectmen will issue reports of their own, and they de- clare that Mr. Mackey’s report is incor- rect. They also claim that he has mailed these reports to a number of Darien citizens, and hopes that by ,what they claim is an incorrect re- port to gain a number of votes at the town election. The following report was issued yes- terday to the citizens of Darien by C. W. Raymond the third selectman: TO THE TAXPAYERS 0F DARIEN, CQNN. The undersigned hereby submits the following report of his expenses, as selectman of the town of Darien, for the year ending September 10, 1897: Roads and blasting, $ 601 14 Bridges, culverts, drainage, 482 22 Cutting bushes, 57 33 Selectmen’s duties, 76 50 Tools and sharpening, 14 68 ......... $1,231 87 Received from town of Stam- ford, for Glenbrook bridge. Net balance $1,082 53 The above amount embraces every item of expense which is chargeable to my district. All other reports differ- ing from the above are untrue and mis- leading, and were issued, over my signature without my knowledge or consent. Yours respectfully, CHARLES W.

I especially to the aged mother now in her 95th year, with whom he resided, and to whose declining years he was indeed a staff and comfort. He was honest. industrious, kindly and oblig- ing, doing his duty in his own quiet faithful way. He was a member of the 17th Conn. Volunteers and was buried by the Grand Army men with the cus- tomary rites and honors. The lawn party held at Ridgely Farm, the residence of Miss Folsom, on Sat- urday afternoon, for the benefit of St. Matthew’s church was a great success financially and socially. The spacious piazzas were well filled with people who listened to a program of recitations by Mrs. Norris of South Norwalk and Miss ! gave the benefit of their talents for the occasion. Ernest Hurd rendered sev- eral instrumental solos and one of the “Whitlock boys” gave a song. Num- bers not on the program were the bal- lads, that after much urging, were sung by Dr. Parker of New Canaan, .and which received much applause. Tea and cake and other things nice were served by the ladies of'the parish. The workshop of Frederick Doolittle, on Strawberry Hill, Stratford, was burned down yesterday afternoon. The building was a small one and as‘ the tools and other valuable material were removed, the loss will be slight, probably not more than $75.
