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-

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.

—~ 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:

especially to the aged mother now in
her 95th year, with whom he resided,
and to whose declining years he was

which received much applause. Tea

Albany, N. Y., Sept. 29.—The first at-
