The. President at Chicago’s Jubilee.
Chicago and Philadelphia have been
indulgin;r in a great deal of enthusiasm
during the list week or so, by celebrat
ing the American victory of arms with
peacejubilees. It is a fitting way to
celebrate the return of peace, and a
way that is inspired by a lofty senti-
ment. The citizens of these cities gave
vent to their enthusiasm in parades,
banquets, receptions, dedications, etc.
In Chicago, the ceremonies began on
Sunday October 15 and extended until
Friday, October 21. President McKin-
ley, returning from the Omaha exposi-
tion, remained over at Chicago to par-
ticipate in their Jubilee. He gave a

irain, great crowds gathered to greet
him. The most important feature of
the celebration, however, was the
grand military, naval, and civil parade.
There were in line veterans of the

ers reunited, and civic societies which

Burglary and Fire.
The variety store of John June at
Winnipauk was burglarized last night
and the burglars not content with des-
poiling the same of a quantity of cigars
etc., set fire to the building.
They gained entrance to the store by
busting off a catch to a window-shutter
in the building and then helped them-
selves to whateVer came within their
lreach.
The store is but a few feet distant
from the owner’s home, whose atten-
tion was attracted at about 11 o’clock
last night by a blaze of fire in the store.
June lost not a moment in giving the
alarm to Which the Norwalk~Mills 00m-
pany fire brigade responded and soon
after had the fire quenched.
It was found that the store had been
burgiarized, the thieves gaining an
entrance by forcing a window shutter.
They helped themselves to cigars
etc., and there was evidence that they
spilled kerosene oil on the floor just be-
fore their departure and ignited the
same.

Council Meeting.
“The unexpected” it has been said,
‘is liable to happen even at a council
meeting.”
The truth of the saying was fully ex
emplied at the meeting of the Norwalk
city council Monday evening.
When Mayor Glover called a regular
meeting of the board there was not a.
ripple on the tide of business and no
danger signals were set.
As customary the clerk read the
minutes of the previous meeting and
was disturbed in such reading only by
the entrance of councilmen-elect Fred
Buckley and A. H. Hoyt, who were in-
vited by the Mayor to seats inside the
lobby rails.
It was their first call on the present
board and the “exercises” could not
help but prove of an entertaining char-
acter. ,
Mayor Glover announced that he had
uite a budget of bills from the high-
way department, and that the depart-
ment was short of funds to liquidate
them. He also ventured the remark as
he set the bills aside, that it would be
well or the councilmen to appropriate
the sum of $1,000 as asked for at a pre-
vious meeting, or a portion thereof to
liquidate the same.
Councilman Meeker moved that an.
appropriation of $500 be made.
Councilman Burr pertinently asked
if that amount would carry them
through. '
Councilman Bates in reply said,
“Most assuredly not. That is, if the
work that ought to be done on the
street is done.”
Councilman Gregory was of the opin-
ion that $500 was enough.
Councilman Meeker thought that
that amount would be sufficient to car-
ry the department through until the
first of January, supplemented by a
dig at the chairman of the highway
committee, in brief, “The graveling of
High street was uncalled for. There
was only a few cobbles on the street
that might have been raked up and
the street would have been all right.”
It was voted by 3 to 2 that the sum of
$1,000 be appropriated, but the clerk
cited from the by-laws of the city and
the vote was nil, be showing that it re-
quired a two thirds vote of the entire
council to pass the same.
The matter was for the time-being
laid aside.
Councilman Bates inquired if the ad-
ministration department was in a posi-
tion to settle all bills.
Mayor Glover promptly side-tracked
the question, and the matter of the
appropriation was for the time drop-
ped. ~
The prayer of William Mitchell,
assessor, for the payment of money due
him, to the amount of $40 was grant-
ed
There was quite a grist of library
bills, all of which were ordered paid.
A bill from the highway department
in which the. party of the first part was
W. H. Smith Sr. '70. and in which there
were charges for sperm oil, did not
meet the approbatiou of Councilman
Meeker, and on motion of Councilman
P. W. Bates it was referred to the
chairman of the finance committee,Mr.
Meeker.
The bills of the highway department
were then ordered paid.
As there were no funds in the de-
partment with which to meet the vote,
the clerk asked as to his duty in the
premises.
He was answered by the Mayor Wth
a “ You will have to hold them (the
' bills) until the parties bring suit
; against the city. I don’t see any other
l way.”
i The chief of police reported seven
arrests last month.
i Councilman Gregory asked as to why
i his sewer bills could not be passed in a.
‘ a like manner with the highway bills.
Councilman Meeker then in a concil-
iatu. v way asked “How much do the
higa way bills amount to?”
Councilman Bates politely .responded
’ witn "I think about $300”
On motion of Councilman W. R.
' Bates it was voted to reconsider the
matter of an appropriation to the high-
‘ way department.
, It was then voted that the sum of
l
f
ment then asked for an appropriation
of1$500.
Councilman P. W. Bates threw a.
torch into the camp by saying, "‘I don’t
think we will need that amount before
the first of January.”
Gregory: “I don’t care how much
you~ vote me.”
After some discussion it was voted
that the clerk use the usual procedure
in the matter of a $500 appropriation
to the sewer fund. ‘
Councilman Gregory’s committee re-
ported unfavorably on the establishing
of new electric lignts on East and Fair-
view avenuesj
Councilman Burr reported progress
in the matter of the Pioneer truck and
the introduction of fire alarm wires in
the Telephone conduits.
A map of the new Harbor lines was
received and accepted.
The meeting then adjourned until
Dec. 5th. _____ _
SOUTH NORWALK COUNCIL.
A regular meeting of the South Nor-
walk city council was held, last even-
ing. ’
Bills to the amount of $591 were or-
dered paid.
J. A. Slater resigned as a. member of
the Cedar street freeholders’ commit-
tee.
The library taxes on the lists of 1894,
1895, 1896 and 1897 amounting to
$237.42 were abated.

The electric light commissioners
were empowered to submit a bill each

street lamps instead of as in the pres-
ent form making an annual appropria-
tion to conduct the plant.
A prayer on the part of the Marza
Raymond estate for an abatementg) of
taxes on list of 1897 was referred to
committee having such matters under
their'jurisdiction.
The water commissioners reported
in favor of laying a six-inch pipe on
Connecticut avenue, to connect as a
supply to the new hospital building.
Noting an exception as to the bonds
of city officials it was voted that here-
after the bonds furnished be those of
surety companies rather than those of
individuals, and it was stated that the
cost would be about $100 a year.
