Important Business Trans-
acted in the New Town
Assembly Rooms.
it was Voted to Fund the Town Debt and
Provision Was Made for-the Volunteers
and their Families.
The first public gathering in the
new Assembly rooms in the Opera
House block, was held last evening in
response to a call for a special town
meeting, to take action on four matters
of special importance to the, inhabi-
tants of the town.
The meeting was called to order by
Town Clerk Smith, and there were
perhaps 125 voters present.
Hon. E. J. Hill was elected as chair-
man.
The first business before the meet-
ing was the consideration of a petition
that an appropriation be made “for the
aid of families of the soldiers of this
town now in the field in the volunteer
army of the United States, and that
Selectmen be instructed to set aside
the money so appropriated as a. separate
und to be used by them, at their dis-
cretion, for the purposes for which it
is appropriated, and that no report . be
made by them of the details of the ex-
penditure of said fund. ”
A resolution that an appropriation
of $600 for such purpose be made pre-
vailed by an unanimous vote.
Chairman Hill, temporarily resigned
the chair to Francis Leonard, and tak-
ing the floor, called attention to the
fact that the soldiers enlisted in the
Third regiment had not fared as well
as had the First regiment in regard to
pay.
He said that While the first regiment
had been allowed $1.50 per day, for
each man, for the first ten days after
their enlistment, such amount had not
been allowed to members of the Third
regiment.
This he explained was caused by a.
ruling of the United States govern-
ment, that but about 53 cents a day, the
regular army pay would be allowed.
He read a letter from Gov. Cooke in
which the governor regretted the fact
that he could not under the present
law do anything contrary to the fixed
salary of the U. S. for the volunteers.
He, however, expressed the belief that
the matter could be adjusted at the
next meeting of the General Assembly.
Ir. Hill further said that the Quar
termaster General was of the opinion
that the claim was a legal one and
would be paid by the State.
He said that infround figures the
sum of $1,679.95 was due the members
of. Co. L. He then presented a resolu-
tion in effect that such a sum be ap-
propriated by the town of Norwalk, as
would pay the balance due the volun-
teers from Norwalk, with the under-
standing that each soldier assign to
the town the amount of his claim.
After but little discussion the resolu-
tion prevailed.
The next matter before the meeting
was to authorize and direct the Select-
men to fund the interest paying in-
debtedness of the town to the amount
of not less than $300,000 by issuing
bonds of the town to that amount, pay-
able 20 years from this date with in-
terest at not more than 4 per- cent. per
annum, payable in equal semi-annual
payments, and to sell said bonds and
with the avails of such sales to pay
such indebtedness.
After some discussion a resolution to
the effect that bonds to the sum of
$300,000 be issued by the Selectmen to
date from September 1st, 1898, was
passed. The resolution also provided
that the bonds should not be disposed
of at a figure less than par.
The selectmen were authorized to
cause the new town vault to be fitted
up with roller shelves, metal cabinet
and map case, according to plans pre-
sented at the meeting, at a cost not in
excess of $1,150. t
A further sum of $150 to be added to
the $150 yet remaining unexpended for
the indexing of the town records, was
voted.
And then the meeting adjourned.
Keeler Obtained Bonds.
from the decision of Judge Frost fining
him $10 and costs for assaulting Mrs.
Sadie Silcox, and Gehurdus P. Wor-
den gave bonds to the amount of $75
for his appearance before the Superior
court. Keeler attempted to become
his own bondsman but Judge Frost re-
fused to recognize him and Mr. 'Wor;
den was. secured.

Mrs. Uhie’s Testimony Against
Edward Whitlock Contra-
dieted by Numerous
Witnesses.
W. Fred Whitlock Discharged by Judge
Frost for Lack of Evidence.
The celebrated case of Mrs. Ottilie
Uhle vs. W. Fred Whitlock, Edward
Whitlock and Thomas Sterling was of
Wednesday afternoon before
Judge Frost in the Town Court, and
trial
drew a large crowd of interested
spectators who enjoyed the testimony
of Mrs. Uhle, especially while under
cross-examination by Attorney John J.
Walsh for the defendants.
Mrs. Uhle’s testimony had only the
support of her husband, Dr. Fred L.
Uhle, and he gave the impression that
he did not particularly enjoy being
mixed up in a squabble with his neigh-
bors.
The VVhitlocks had numerous wit-
nesses and their evidence was in direct
contradiction to that of Mrs. Uhle.
The accused were put to plea on the
charge of breach of the peace and dis-
charging firearms on the morning of
July 4. All three pleaded not guilty
and Prosecuting Attorney Taylor elect-
ed to try the case of Edward Whitlock
first.
Mrs. Uhle took the stand, as the

ornamented with diamonds,
strong odor of Hoyt’s German cologne
permeated the immediate neighborhood
of the witness chair.
She swore positively that she saw
Edward Whitlock at 1:30 o’clock on
the morning of July 4th, lying under a
tree in the Whitlock yard with a shot
gun pointing towards her house. He
was accompanied by Thomas Sterling
who also had a gun, and their feet
were within six feet of her fence, she
having.measured the distance with a.
pole next day. She went out to the
fence and told them they must stop
firing at her house or she would have
them arrested. Sterling denied that
house.
She returned to the house and went
to sleep fully dressed. She awoke at
3:20 o’clock and saw Edward Whitlock
throw something towards her house
which exploded with a terrific report.
She ran out doors and found the yard
full of smoke. Saw people in Whit~
lock’s house laughing. Was positive
she saw Edward Whitlock running in-
to the house before the explosion.
Mrs. Uhle also testified that her yard
was full of exploded crackers, and ex-
hibited one 12 inches long and 10
inches in circumference which she
stated she had found under her win-
dow. She was positive that the boys
were firing their shot guns into her
window. The distance from the tree
where they were located was 68 feet.
Mrs. Uhle was cross examined by
Attorney Walsh and became somewhat
mixed in her story, at times being ap-
parently unable to understand his
questions and evading a direct answer.
She swore positively that she saw
W. Fred Whitlock and recognized him
by his suspenders. She also swore that
Edward Whitlock and Thomas Ster-
ling were under the tree, and while
being closely questioned said that she
was as positive that Ed. Whitlock was
under the tree as she was that all other
statements made by her were true.
She closed her testimony by saying
that if she {remained in the present
house she would erect a sixteen-foot
fence between her property and the
Whitlock residence. She, also testi-
fied to visiting Judge Frost, Judge
Gregory, ’Samuel Fessenden and ex-
Congressman DeForest relative to the
matter. ’
Dr. Uhle followed his wife and cor-
roborated her testimony as to the
firing of guns, and her going out to
the tree and talking with the boys.
He saw none of the parties.
Chief Bradley testified to going to
the house on the morning of the 4th,
and searching the house for signs of a.
bomb which Mrs. Uhle said had ex-
ploded in her room. Could find no
evidence of any explosion inside the
room.
On cross-examination the Chief said
Mrs. Uhle had made numerous com-
plaints to him and he had referred her
they had fired in the direction of her
to Prosecuting Attorney Ferris. He
also. stated that firing was going on all
over. the city after midnight.
The state rested after Chief Bradley’s
testimony and the defence placed W.
Fred Whitlock on the stand.
He testified that he went to bed about
’ 8 o’clock Sunday night and got up at
6 on the morning of the 4th. Had
heard the bells ringing and guns and
crackers but did not get out of his bed
between those hours.
He was corroborated by his wife and
daughter. ,
Harry Sterling next went on the
stand and testified that it was he and
his brother Thomas under the tree fir-
ing their guns when Mrs. Uhle came
out. It was 12:30 when she appeared,
and Ed. \Vhitlock was not there at all,
nor did he see him while he was at
Whitlock’s. They were not shooting
towards Mrs. Uhle’s house, but in the
air.
Thomas A. Sterling, father Of the ac-
cused, also testified to being at, the
Whitlock house and Edward was not
there.
Howard Hunter, a bright youngster
of 16, testified that Mrs. Uhle’s loud
talking woke him up and he “jumped
out of bed and skinned into his clothes
and ran over to see what was up.” He
also testified that Edward Whitlock
was not there.
Mrs. Jacob Weeks and Mrs. Helen
Andrews, neighbors, testified that they
did not hear any unusual loud ex—
plosions.
Charles Trowbridge, of Haviland
street, South Norwalk, testified that
Edward Whitlock was at his house all
of the evening and that both left the
house at 11:30 o’clock. They did not
come up town until on the morning of
the 4th, when he left Whitlock at the
corner of Merwin street after talking
to a policeman. It was 3 o’clock sharp
when they parted.
Albert Grindrod, a clerk in Weed‘s
drug store, testified to meeting Whit-
lock in front of Biggs’ drug store at
3:10 o’clock. Whitlock came around
the Wall street corner from towards
South Norwalk. He and Whitlock
walked home together, parting at the
corner of Henry street at 3:30 o’clock.
It was twenty-five minutesof four when
he entered his house.
Thomas Sterling, one of the accused,
testified that he and his brother were
under the tree shooting when Mrs.
Uhle made her appearance. She was
very angry and her voice could have
been heard 100 yards away. Edward
Whithck was not there when Mrs.
Uhle came out.
This closed the evidence and the
cases were adjourned until Saturday
morning at9 o’clock when the argu-
ments will be made.
Prior to adjournment Judge Frost
discharged W. Fred Whitlock, as
there was no evidence against him.
Mr. Whitlock will now bring a civil
action for damages against Mrs. Uhle
on the grounds of malicious prosecu-
tion.
w. A: cTrtiE Hit.
One of the sticks of a rocket sent up
from the lawn fete on West avenue,
last evening, in its fall landed on the
head of cashier William A. Curtis of
the Central bank, but did him no ma-
terial harm. He was satisfied that it
was no Spaniard who Was doing the
shooting if it was the intent of the par-
ty who fired it to hit him.

au‘tinuorwalk It is a Los;
ing Fight For the Speci-
ously Advertised but
Useless Remedies.
A gallant fight has been won in -
walk. W'hen California Catarrh gift;
was introduced in the city last year it
began a camraign against the whole
list of worthless catarrh remedies that
spemous'advertising had imposed upon
a suffering people. Remedies that
were dangerous from their composition,
and those that were dangerous simply
because they were useless, have been
forced to the rear. California Catarrh
Cure is battling for health and life, and
because it has won back health and
saved life in Norwalk, it is intrenched
in a lasting popularity with N orwalk
citizens, and will continue its war upon
disease, and upon its allies, the old,
dangerous, and useless remedies. That
of all catarrh cures California Catarrh
Cure is the real thing and the only
thing, and why it is so considered in
the N orwalks is shown by the follow-
ing:
.Mrs. G. F. Borst lives at No. 1 Eur-
bank street. South N orwalk. She says:
“I think California Catarrh Cure is
lovely; it has cleared my head and
throat wonderfully, and above all help-
ed my headaches from which I had
not been free for a long time. I had
tried lots of medicine, but never got
much help, and reading so much of
0.0.0., I went to Plaisted’s drug store
and got a bottle. The effect has been
all that I could ask, and the best feat-
ure of it is that it relieves at once.”

says of California Catarrh Cure. Sold

much one dollar. Nothing else is “as
good” no matter who says so; for noth-
ing else cures so quickly and effective-
