City Fathers Meet.
An adjourned meeting ofthe new city
council was held Wednesday evening at
the Council rooms and it proved to‘ be
fully as animated as if it were a regu-
lar meeting.
This was evidently expected as the
lobby was crowded long before hlS
honor, Mayor Glover, called the meet-
in g to order. _ .
Among those present were efiicoun-
cilmen W. W. Com’stock of South Nor-
walk, Mr. Jere Donovan. O. E. Wilson.
John O’Sullivan and others.
When Mayor Glover called the meet-
ing to order every member of the
board was present and patiently hs-
tened to the minutes of the previous
clerk H. W. Gregory.
The Mayor then gave an invitation
to any present who wished to be heard,
an opportunity to address the board,
which in vitation was promptly accepted
by Mr. Jcre Donovan, who probably at
any like meeting never appeared at a
better advantage. ‘3‘
He addressed the Mayor and board
in a modulated but persuasive tone of
voice on the question of the proposed
removal ofnthe public library from its
present quarters in his building to the
Norwalk club building. .
He opened his remarks by saying
that he had been given to understand
that the board of directors of the Nor-
walk Library association had decided
to move from its present quarters, the
library plant.
He strongly questioned the advisabil-
ity of such a move. And also question-
ed the right of the board of directors
to make such change. He claimed that
the present quarters had been leased by
the city, not by the library directors,
and that the city was liable to be held
responsible for the rent of the present
quarters even though a change else-
where were made. _ .
. He said further that he owned the
present quarters of the library, and
that he had not yet been officially noti-
ified that a change was to be made,but
he had so heard. and had written to the
president and secretary of the board to
meet him at the council meeting that
he might have an opportUnity of asking
them a few questions,or in turn answer-
ing such as they might" ask.’
He made the assertion that the pro-
jectors of the change had no other idea
in mind in making the change aside
from that of revenue to the owners 0;
the club building, to which it is pro-
posed to remove the library.
He also objected as a citizen to the
removal of the library from a central
to a remote point within the city as
compared with its present location.
He said that when his store was rent-
ed for a library he was given to under-
stand that it was for a term of years,
and that an amount in excess of a year’s
rental had been expended in fitting up
the store for the reception of the li-
brary.
Mr. Donovan then propounded a
somewhat puzzling question by asking,
“ Do you believe that if the ownership
of the two proposed buildings were re-
versed that a change would have even
been suggested ? ” . -
HQ somewhat caustically remarked,
that when he leased the store to the
city lfe thought that he was dealing
with gentlemen, and a written lease
was not requisite, as he did not believe
them to be of the ilk that would pull a
man up a dark alley and relieve him of
what belonged to him. Neither did- he
so now believe.
He asked that the Council give the
matter due consideration before per-
mitting a removal. He further asked
that a committee be appointed in the
premises, that they confer with him,
and broadly hinted that the present
quarters might be retained without in-
come and this in the interest of the
public. ,
The Mayor promised .that Mr. Dono-
van’s remarks would receive the prop-
er attention of the. board. '
The usual grist of bills. amounting to
something over $700 Were then read
and with few exceptions ordered paid.
The nominations of the officers of the
several fire companies were received
and ratified.
A communication in reference to the
change of an electric light- at the .foot
of Prospect bill was received and re-
ferred to the proper committee.
~ Councilman Cotter suggested the ad-
visability of getting the city lighting
at a cheaper rate than now- paid, and
said that the present cost was enormous
as compared with the service.
thought that when a new contract was
made this fact should be borne'in mind.
- John P. Treadwell was granted per-
mission to erect a one-story building
14-20 to be used as a. hennery, on his
property on North avenue.
The bond of City sheriff in the ”Fi-
delity Security company was received
and accepted. . '
A letter was received from a pcripa-
tetic photographer in which he claimed
that he had applied to the previous
council for permission to set up a pho-
tographers studio on a vacant lot on
Main street. ,
Councilman Burr objected to the
privilege being granted on the ground
that it was detrimental to other pho-
tographers in town. . i
As the letter was more of the nature
of a grievance than that of asking a
privilege no action was taken.
The bill of John O’Sullivan for $350
against the city for damages by reason
of the widening of Wall street, and
which was referred at a previous meet-
ing for investigation, to the highway
committee, was then brought to the at-
tention of the board. The chairman
reported that he had been unable to
adjust the mat-ter, and by a unanimous
vote the Mayor appointed P. W. Bates,
Charles A. Burr and City Attorney
Walsh to further investigate and re-
port. - .
A communication was received from
Chief of police Bradley, giving the
number of arrests since Feb. 10th, 1894,
and as made by the officers as follows,
Chief Bradley, 274', Officer Morehouse:
1023; Captain Dann, 55; Officer Bartram,
(57; Officer Kenney, «'15. This was sup-
plemented with a schedule of the hours
of service. '
Councilman Burr then asked for a
, vote on the resolution presented by him
at a previous meeting of the board and
deferred, praying for the abolishment
of the office of chief of police.
Mayor Glover said that he had ccn-
ferred with the city counsel inthe mat-
ter, and that he had doubts as . to
whether the office could be legally
abolished. .
Councilman Gregory said in no un-
certain tone of voice, "It has been done
' against him if he werewrong.
megting, as distinctly read by city -
He”
Councilman Cotter suggested that
possibly in this respect the charters of
other cities differed from that of Nor-
walk. .
Councilman Burr retorted by saying,
“ You can vote on fine question, yes or
no._ I want a vote.” . ‘
Councilman Cotter replied. “ I simply
give my impression as to the legality
of the matter. The Mayor asked for
an expression in the matter and 1 gave
mine, as I hope the rest will also. I
have nothing against Mr. Bradley, but
if charges were preferred that would
be a different matter, and I would vote
It is to
my mind a serious matter.”
Councilman Gregory said. “It strikes
me Bradley is getting too old; a young-
er man could do better.”
Councilman Cotter: “ He will treat
all alike no matter who they are. ”
. Councilman Burr: " You have a right
to suit yourself. You can vote on the
question.” ,
Councilman Meeker thought the
abolishment of the office might, result
in a lawsuit. ‘
After some further discussion a vote
was taken, which resulted in the mo-
tion of Councilman Burr being lost by
a vote of 3 to 2. As near as the re—
porter could distinguish voices,the vote
was Gregory and Burr for, and Meeker,
Cotter and P. W. Bates against, W.
R. Bates not voting. thus perhaps sav-
ing the Mayor being called upon to
break a tie vote.
A communication was received from
the selectmen, asking that it be the
sense of that-_ body to work, for the es-
tablishment‘of the proposed new town
house, to the end that the council hold
their meetings in said proposed new
building at an expense not in excess of
the rent-at present paid by the board.
Councilman Burr then threw another
bomb into the police system by offering
a resolution in effect that no member
of the police force receive in excess of
$2 per day.
A question was raised as to when the
present year’s service of the force ends.
Councilman Gregory remarked, "If
we don’t begin to make a saving some
where, we shan’t make it at all.”
After some discussion the resolution
was adopted, to take effect, on and af-
ter the present year’s service of said
police force ended.
Councilman Gregory made an addi-
tional motion that the salary of the
Street and Sewer inspector be placed
at $10 per week, from this day until
April lst. ' ,
Councilman Meeker amended by
making it $12 a week for the entire
year and it was so voted.
Councilman P. W. Bates asked as to
the power of the chairman of the high-
way committee to discharge help, and
and thought that he ought to have
power to regulate the hiring and dis-
charging of help and this was the sense
of the council.
P. W. Bates of the highway commit-
tee reported that he had a balance of
only $81.98 and asked for a further ap-
propriation of $500.
W. R._ Bates of the police committee
also asked for $500.
Charles A. Burr of the fire committee
asked for $500 but it was shown that he
was within $150 of his limit, and he was
content in asking for the latter amount.
The clerk was instructed to pursue
the usual process in securing the above
amount by advertising the same.
On motion of Councilman Burr the
apnualappropriations of $25 each to the
the companies and fire police were
voted.
Councilman Meeker reported that
Superintendent Mansfield of the Tram-
way company- had promised to mail on
Tuesday a check for $500“ in part pay-
ment of the amount due the city from
that company. .
The council then adjourned.

Politics of the State.
A Washington dispatch to the New
Haven Leader says:
A strong effort is being made to in-
duce President McKinley to disregard
Senator Hawley’s request that Thomas
A. Lake, of, Rockville, be nominated
for the internal revenue collectorship.
It is understodd that letters were re-
ceived from Connecticut republican
leaders who favor the appointment of
John 1. Hutchinson, urging that Sena-
tor Hawley’s wishes ought not to be re-
garded or allowed to overcome those
expressed in writing by every member
of the republican state central commit-
tee of Connecticut, by the entire Con-
necticut delegation to the St. Louis
convention that nominated McKinley
for the presidency and the Wishes of
all the influential Grand Army leaders
of the state.
President McKinley’s attention has
been called to the fact that when his
chances of securing the support of the
Connecticut delegation seemed very
meagre indeed, those who are now
pushing the claims of Col. Hutchinson
stepped into the breach and swung the
state over to McKinley almost solidly.
Ex-Governor Bulkley of Hartford, is
one of tho_ée who is in favor of Col.
Hutchinson. It 15 not believed that
the President will depart from his in-
variable custom of following the rec-
ommendations of the congressional and
senatorial delegations, but perhaps
never has so much effort been made to
induce him to do so. '
It has been urged that Senator Haw- .
ley has" opposed Hutchinson because
Hutchinson did not favor his re-elec-
tion to the United States senate five
years ago._ This may or may not be
true. In any event, Senator Hawley
has recommended that Mr. Lake re-
ceive this appointment and it is not be-
lieved here that Senator Hawley will
be turned down by the administration.

l BENJAMIN BUTTERWORTH DEAD.
gfommlssioner of Patents Had Gone to
I Georgia. for His Health.
Thomasville, Ga., Jan. 17.—-—M‘a’jor
Benjamin Butterworth, Commissioner
of Patents, who came here several
weeks ago with a. view to recruiting his
health after having been taken serious-
ly in in Ohio, died at 3.15 p. m. yester»
day. Mr. Butterworth's wife and chil-
dren were at his side when he died. He
had been suffering from pneumonia,
but death was due directly uraemic
convulsions.
By the death of Major Benjamin But:
terworth one of the most conspicuous
characters is removed from social and
official life at \the national capital. He
was brrn in Warren County, Ohio, on
October 22, 1839, of parents who were
members of the Society of Friends. He
studied law in Cincinnati and was ad-
mitted to the bar in that city.
In 1883 he was appointed Chief of the
Patent Oflice by President Arthur. Al—
though the greater portion of Major
Butterworth’s time during hub latter
years was spent at Wasningt’t‘fn, where
he had built up a large law practice
and owned much property, his appoint-
ments to political office have been cred-
ited to Ohio.
He was known throughout the United
States as an able patent" lawyer and a.
stanch Republican.
His first appearance
was as a member of the Forty-sixth
Congress from the First District of
Ohio. He served during four more
Congresses —— Forty-seventh. Forty-
ninth, Fiftieth and Fifty-first.
In September last a sensational and
erroneous report was printed to the ef-
fact that Major Butterworth, while on
a visit to Atlantic City, had been as-
saulted and robbed by thugs. At the
time of the alleged assault the stalwart
Ohioan was at Washington, and the
publication of the rumor caused him
great annoyance. '

'WOOL AND VELVET COSTUME FROM HARPER’S BAZAR
Wool and Velvet Costume.
All through the winter as well as
the spring and summer wool costumes
are considered the smartest for street
wear, and it is surprising to see how
many different fashions are continually
appearing which are,'each and all, dis
tinctive. Just at present the long po-
lonaise or redingote effect is more in
favor than the short blouse which has
been so much the style for some months.
Another point about the new gowns is
that they are most elaborately trimmed,
either with braiding, fur, or velvet.
One gown which is exceedingly becom-
ing and effective is made of cloth of a
dark gray color. The skirt is of
medium length, and is trimmed with
machine-stitching and a. darker shade
of velvet. The waist has double rever.s
which at the back form capes over the
o
, shoulders.
These are of velvet of
a very much deeper shade. The front
of the waist is extremely odd, made
'with a shaped plastron of. the cloth
which is so cut as to give long and be-
coming lines to the figure. This is a
desirable feature, and one not always
easy for the amateur dress-maker to
pattern of this gowu issued by Harper’s
Bazar, where it appears, will’be found
very useful. The belt is of velvet, and
the collar is also of velvet, while at the
back of the neck are three tiny ostrich
tips. Any dull effect the velvet might
have is obviated by being lined with
white satin. The buttons are of velvet,
and the way in which the velvet is put
unlike anything that has been seen be-
