I - T. Winters. FRLV NHR “7A 1,1." (1,47,. mvp'w'v —— IAHEWILLHEEEPTIUN' Tendered the Rev. A. .S. Kavanagh at the Meth- odist Church. ___—-—-—- CHU RCH CROWDED. Speeches Made by -Revs. Hubbard and Seward—Refreshments Served. The First Methodist church at, South Norwalk was crowded to its utmost capacity Monday evening, the occasion being the farewell reception to the re- tiring pastor, Rev. A. S. Kavanagh. The church pulpit was prettily dec- orated with flowers and plants and with the new gowns and Easter b‘onnets of the ladies helped to make a most brilliant scene. That the outgoing pastor was revered and loved by his flock and highly es- ‘ teemed by many of those outside his church was evinced by the expressions of regret heard among the people as one moved among them and the crowd who pressed forward to grasp his hand only the more fully confirmed the impression. . . Rev.Kavanagh, though a strong man, was many tlmes forced to silence as he choked down the emotion which at in- ' tervals welled up and was proof of the affection and deep attachment which he felt for his South Norwalk people. The address was, as flirewell addresses generally are, full of pleasurable remi- niscences and also touched upon the sadder incidents always attendant upon pastoral work. Many times during his ' address Mr. Kavanagh’s wonted humor was perceivable, though its old time genuineness was lacking. It savored of the sweet but sad moment of part- ing, the severing of strong ties of ai- fection and esteem, and it was natural. ' Thomas I. Raymond was chairman of the reception committee and made a neat little speech. Letters of regret on account of inability to attend were read from Rev. F. W. Norris, Rev. Dr. Beard, Rev. E. E. Wing and Rev. J. Rev. Winters said in his note that as so short a. time remained before the severing of his connection with his owu parish that he felt con- strained to remain with them for the few days allowed him. Rev. Dr. Seward and Rev. W. H ‘ Hubbard made short addresses paying tribute to the splendid work done by the pastor retiring and attesting their friendship for him. After the speechlnakin'g refresh- ments were served. .It is said that I never before was there such a bounte- ous supply of palatable viands donated on such an occasion, many cakes and other eatables being left over. The church society presented Mr. Kavanagh with a check for $500 and he was also the recipient of a handsome the gift of his Friday class, many of Whom Morris chair, Evening Bible were converts. ‘ A‘ Bishop Tierney’s Appointments.

It will be a destructive storm. There will be a slight disturbancefrom the 2d to the 4th of April of little ac- count, excepting it being precursory to the general disturbance soon to follow.

J "1101112113 MEET. A regular' " onthly meeting of the Norwalk city council was held Monday evening, the entire board being present WIth Mayor Glover presiding. The minutes of the previous and ad- journed meetings were read and ap- proved and bills to the amount of something over $1,200 were ordered paid, which later on necessitated the appropriating of $1,000 to the finance committee. Among the bills were those of the local press for printing the annual re- port of the water commissione1s in con- nection with the reports of the city clerk, city treasurer and tleastler of the water fund. These bills appeared to worry some of the councilmen more than the con— dition of the city streets, and after con— siderable dlscussion they were for the second time deferred. In this connection it might be added that ever since the practice of publish- ing these reports prior to the annual city meeting, in order to let the tax- payers know how city affairs stood, the city has paid for such publication. going so far a year ago as to order the report of the water commissioners printed separately and in extended form, and for which-they paid without question, but this year it appears to be different, either a sudden attack of parsimony having struck some member of the council, or a reported squabble between the council and water com- missioners is being waged at the ex- pense of the local press. Addison A. Betts was sworn in as col- lector of. city taxes by Mayor Glover. V The reports of the chief of police fOr February and March were read and 016.6le on file. Jonas D. Worden was recognize, by the Mayor and claimed that a p01 tion of Cross street was not properly curbed and guttered, which fact he said was not only detrimental to the renting of his place, but that the defect was a menace to the health of those living in that vicinity by reason of the over- flow of water, causing a stagnant pool in a near~by lot. A communication, with clippings from the local papers, in reference to a Mary E. Miller receiving a dislocated wrist by mishap that resulted in Mrs. reason of a fall on an icy sidewalk on Main street, some. weeks since, and in which she, on the recommendation of the attending physician, Dr. Baldwin, prayed the council to in part remuner- ate her for expense attached to such accident, was tabled. The sum of $150 was voted for needy uniforms of the members of the Fire Police on recommendation of Council- men Buckley and Meeker. As the vote for the bonding of the city debt occurred on a legal holiday, it was voted to ratify the same by a further vote at the regular meeting then in session. The chairman of the finance com- mittee was instructed to borrow $1,000 on the credit of the city. The report of the Library showed that 2,552 books had been taken from the library du11ng the month and that the average daily attendance at the rooms was 179. ' Attorney J. J. Walsh representing Charles Adams, who it is understood proposes bringing suit against the city for injuries received by reason of a defective side-walk near the gas werks on Harbor avenue, asked as to what disposition had been made in the mat- ter, and y‘as informed that the same had been referred to the city attorney. The board then adjourned until April 17th. Mayor Coburn called the South 301- . walk city council to order at 8 o’clock Monday everiing with all the members present excepting Dr. W. B. Bean The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. St1eet commissioner Reed called the attention of the council to Water street. He said it was in very bad condition, but that one of the property owners objected to the repairing of the street except between fences. He said the road should be made forty feet wide and should be fixed from Becker’s ccr- her to}. Marshall street: It should be .telford to the corner of the Iron Works building, 'A side” walk should run on $600; 7." graded and'guttered and paved with ' One side of. it... The cost w0uld:b_e.ab0ut' On petition of the street commis- sioners $5,000 was voted that board. John H.’ Ferris spoke at length on leading to the hospital in such con- dition that it would afford an easy and accessible way to the new building. He spoke of the easy access which the lu uptown people had ovc1 the almory hill and said that South Norwalk should not be behind it. He suggested that a walk be laid up'Cedar street to the city limits and that'the road should be put in good condition. He exhibited a map of that part of the city and explained the situation. R. H. Golden also ad- dressed the council on the same subject. The committee on roads. The Lounsbury, pany petitioned for permission to build matter was referred, to the Mathewson com- ' an open shed for bicycles 45 feet long. Sfeet deep and 7:} feet high. on their property.

Guyer to build additions to their respective places of business on \‘Vashington street, laid before the council at the last meeting, were re- ported favorably and pasSed. Chief Baker then asked the council to make some regulation so as to pro- hibit the building of wooden sheds on property and thus increasing the dau— ger of fire. The matter was referred to the ordinance committee. Bills to the amount of $1,048.51 ordered paid. A petition from Wm Tuttle to raise the building on Monroe street one story was referred to the committee on fire. A petitio‘n to lay a cross-walk on Lowe street at the intersection of Ham- ilton avenue was read, as was apeti— tion to pave Washington street from the carriage bridge to and around the 9 were corner of South Main street and to the westerly side of North Main street with vitrified brick.

The committee on ordinances report- ed an amendment to the ordinance relat- in~,,r to the erection of wooden build- ings, striking out that portion relative to the size of the building, which was pasged, I The council then adjourned until April 17. ‘G-O>«-— FIFTH ’ANNUAL.
