Saturday afternoon the little three

About 4:30 o’clock the little girl was
out in the street with her sister eating
peanuts. Something occurred to cause
her to cry and run into the yard. As
she entered the gate she drew a long
breath, causing a piece of the peanut

OBITBAIRY.

HENRY I. HOYT.

Another old resident of Norwalk was
lcalled home Saturday in the person
lof our esteemed townsman Henry I.
' Hoyt, who passed to the beyond short-
;ly after 10 o’clock, in the 85th year of
his age.

Mr. Hoyt was at one time one of the
most prominent business men of Nor-
walk, having established the Merwin
street shirt factory now conducted by
Hutchinson, Cole. & Co. He has also
been connected with numerous enter-
prises during his fifty years residence
here.

Mm Hoyt Was well known and es-
teemed, outside of Norwalk, and prob-
ably no one had met and been enter-
tained by more distinguished men than
he, and he was ever happy in enter-
taining his numerOus friends with an-
ecdotes of his experiences and travels.

A number of years ago Mr. Hoyt
gave up business life and has passed
his declining years in his beautiful
home “Highwooi” waiting for the
summons to his eternal rest.

 

(Communicated)

At Hi ghwood, on June 3rd at 10:30
a. m. there passed from earth a notable
man,—Henry,I. Hoyt,——indentified with
all the interests of Norwalk through
a long series of years. At the ripe age
of‘ 85 years, he died as he had lived,
calmly, serenely,and with an unfalter-
ing trust in the God he had so faithfully
served. He had been a member of
t'he First Congregational church for
almost 50 years,commending by his lips
and his life,in all that time, the religion
he professed. Earth is poorer for his
loss, but heaven is richer. He will
long be missed in Norwalk, not only in
his home, but in-social, business and
religious circles, and the influence of
his upright and beneficent life, will be
felt for good in the en tire community
for years to come.

Pretty Little Ceremonies, Such as Planting the
Ivy, Etc., Features of the Exercises.

 

Monday was Class Day at Miss Baird’s
Institute, and nothing could be more
auSpicious than the golden June weath-
er. At half .past three in the after-
noon the school and the Alumnae as-
sembled in the school hall and a line
of march was formed for the lawn
where the exercises of the class were
held. The seniors led the way follow-
ed by the faculty, ihe alumnae and
junior class and" lastly by the body of
the school. When all was ready, the
president of the class, Miss, Elizabeth
Carmichael, spoke a few words of we'l-
come, the dainty programmes, bound
in the class color, were distributed,and
the exercises proceeded. The class
history was given by Miss Jane G.
Cooper, and was exceedingly attractive

in bright references to past events in
the school lives of each of her class-

' mates; and if a little fiction was intro-

duced into the record, it served only to
heighten the effect of the facts.

Miss Adah Nicholson made the class
prophecy; this popular feature of class
day Was received with much merri-
ment, and contained many original
ideas. Certainly none of the class of
’99 ever dreamed of what is in store for
them, if Miss Nicholson proves a true
seer.

The class poem was given by Miss
Blanche Aiken. and had for its subject
the class motto, Forti et fideli nihil
dificile. The poem was most graceful
both in sentiment and metre, and was
received with hearly applause.

The most amusing part of the pro-
gam was the class presentatiou made
by Miss Lena Stevens. Hers was an
excellent opportunity for sly hits at
femine weaknesses; and she improved
it to the utmost, but when she had
finished, the president of the class very
cleverly turned the table by present-
inga most unexpected gift to Miss
Stevens, herself. _

The company then repaired to a
neighboring tree where the class ivy
was planted and the oration delivered
by Miss Abbie LaVake. The ivy was
a. sturdy plant and refused at first to
be separated from its protecting jar;
but the difficulty was removed and the
vine confided,,in a well chosen address,
to the lap of mother earth and the
tender care of the classes to follow ’99.
The trowel was presented to Miss Cora
Presser who received it for the class of
1900. ,

After all the
Senior Cnarge was given by Miss
Carmichael and was responded to by
Miss Katherine Allen.

Miss Baird then read the ranks and
distributed the prizes for the year.
Attendance prizes were won by Miss
Belle Deeves, Miss Cora Hand,
Vera Smith, Miss Lucy Grove, Miss
Marie Ives, Miss Mary Maxwell, Miss
Agnes Curtiss, Miss Mabel Lloyd and
" Miss Christine Herrick.

The prize for neatness was awarded
to Miss Katherine Allen, that for
courtsey to Miss Grace Thor’nbury, and
the sunshine prize to Miss Lulu Chase.
Special prizes were also given to each
of the Seniors; after the distribution
of the prizes, Miss Carmichael in be-
half of the class of ’99 presented Miss
Baird with a beautiful remembrance.

The exercises were closed by the
singing of the school seng. Refresh-
ments were served on the lawn, and
later in the afternoon a procession was
ormed to visit and salute the ivies of
earlier classes. Thus ended what is,
in many respects, the pleasantest and
most memorable day of the school year-

Herman ,E'. Malmo Can’t Get
A, License Over Commis-
.’ .sioners Decision.

MANDAMUS QUASHED.

 

Superior Court Can’t Compel County Commit-
sioners to Grant License. ‘

The County commissioners have vvon
a decisive victory in the case of Herman
E. Malmo of South Norwalk against
them, to compel them to issue him a
license in accordance with the decision
of the Superior court. The decision,
if the opinion covers thoroughly the
points raised, upsets and practically
nullifies the first section of the act
passed in 1893 by the General Assembly
giving applicants for a liquor license
the right of appeal from the decision
of the commissioners.

The commissioners refused Malmo a
license. He appealed, and Judge Elmer
reversed the commissioners’ decision.
They declined to issue the license.
Malmo, through Canfield St Judson,
brought mandamus proceedings. Paige
8:. Carroll for the commissioners filed a
motion to quash. The Supremelcoui-t
grants the motion to quash, the opinion
being by Judge Hammersley.

Section 1 of chapter 175 of the acts
of 1893 is as follows: “Any person ag-
grieved by a decision of the County
commissioners refusing to grant him
a license to sell spirituous and intoxi-
cating liquors, or in revoking any such
license already granted him, may ap-
peal from such decision to the Superior
court ’_’ .

In their motion to quash, Paige &
Carroll claimed that the court had no
jurisdiction, and raised constitutional
questions. They also claimed there
was no statute giving the Superior
court the right to vacate or reverse the
decision of the commissioners, but ad-
mitted-Ethat the court had power itself
under the section to issue a license.

The above section is indefinite, inas-
much adit does not specify“ the man-
ner in which the license shall be grant-
ed if the Superior court decides ad-
versely to the commissioners, as was
the case at issue. In the second sec-
tion of the same act, prOvision is mad e
for appeals to the .court by taxpayers
aggrieved by decisions of the commis-
sioners in granting a license or refus-
ing to revoke one, and it then adds:
“Such appeal shall vacatethe license so
granted; provided that, if the Superior
court shall, on hearing refuse to con-
firm the granting of said license, the
same shall thereupon be. vacated, and
the proportion of license money paid
by the, appellant for the unexpired
term for which such license was origin-
ally granted shall be returned to him.”

This omission in the first section of
any provision for granting the license
in case the Superior court decides that
the applicant is entitled to one furnish-
ed the foundation for the present case,
and the advice of the Superior court
sustains their contention that the
Superior court has no power to compel
them to issue a license.

In the case of Malmo, a license was
asxed for upon the Washington street
bridge, which had previously been de-
cided unsuitable. A remonstrance had
been filed, and citizens had appeared
against the application. When the ap-
peal was heard in the Superior court,
there was no appearance on the part of
the remonstrants, and upon the testi-
mony of the applicant, Judge Elmer
decided that he was entitled to the

license.

The commissioners made no appear-
ance, as they did not consider that it
was their duty. Some of the judges cf
the Superior court, notably Judge G.
W. Wheeler, have in cases of appeal
from a. decision of the County com-
missioners when remonstrants have
no: made appearance, taken the evi-
dence of the commissioners themselves
in order to get the testimony that was
before the board, and upon which the

NorWalkrGrowers interested
in a Bill Before. British '
Parliament.

PBOHlBlT IMPORl ATION.

lf Measure Passes Oyster Beds Will be in-
spected by British Officials.

\

The oyster men of Norwalk and in
fact all those engaged in the industry
in Long Island sound are greatly intel-
ested in a bill now pending before the
British parliament, which, if passed,
will result in having the beds in this
vicinity inspected by British Officials.

There has been considerable agita-
tion in England of late regarding the
possibility of oysters communicating
diseases and it is probable that the
government will pass a law regulating
the importation of the bivalves. This
is of much importance to‘ the growers
hereabouts, as many of them are en-
gaged in the export trade.

lhe bill before the British parlia-
ment contains the following provision

on the subject.
If it is made to appear to her majesty

in council that any oyster laying situ-
ate in any foreign country or British
possession, is so situate with reference
to an outfall of sewage that there is
serious risk of disease being communi-
cated by the consumption of oysters
taken from that oyster laying, it shall
be lawful for her majesty in council,
by order, to prohibit the importation
into the United Kingdom of oysters
brought from that oyster laying or
from any specified part of that country
or possession which includes that lay~
ing, except on such terms with respect

or otherwise as may appear to her maj-
esty in council expedient for the pur
pose of removing the risk of communi-

cating disease.
"Oysters imported in contravention

of any order made under this section
shall be included among the goods
enumerated and described in the sched
nle of prohibitions and restrictions
contained in section 42 of the customs
consolidation act, 1876. '

Just at present Long Island oysters
areln great favor in England. Tham-
as Lessing, agent and buyer for an
English oyster dealer, usually pays
down about $50,000 in a season to Long
Island sound growers for East Rivers
for his house. These oysters have al-
ways given satisfaction.

The shipperis pack them in barrels
and deliver them to the steamer.
There are four large concerns in Liver-
pool which handle the American
oysters, most of which come from Long
Island ' sound and vicinity. They
handle about 20,000 barrels a year and
the trade is still growing.

The oysters are shipped on fast
steamers and are in the English market
about a week from the time they leave
the waters in Long Island sound and
Great South bay. Thé business is very
profitable toxthe growers and they are
naturally interested in any legislation
that might interfere with the trade.

The Rebelsdat ~San Fernando
Make Nightly Attacks.

LIEUTENANT PEARCE A SUICIDE

Americans Tried to Form a Cordon
About Insurgents on the Morons
Peninsula, but Most of Them
Slipped Through the Lines.

MANILA, June 7.—The rebels on Sat-
urday night made an attack upon the
friendly town of Macabebe and, after
driving the inhabitants out, burned the
town.

The insurgents nightly annoy the
troops'at San Fernando. Several Ameri-
cans havc been slightly wounded re-
cently. '

The enemy have several Krupp guns,
which they bring forward and use for
firing large shells into the town, then re-
treating with their guns'.’ Li":

One of the insurgent shells fell within
30 yards of General MacArthur’s head-
quarters Saturduy evening. The Ameri:
can troops do not reply to the nightly
outbreaks.

The American forces have occupied the-
Morong peninsula, and General Hall’s:
column is encamped at Morong. Major
Truman, marching across from Binango«
nan, found it impracticable to form a.
cordon, and the insurgents, with the ex-i
ception of a hundred or-two, escapedl
through the mountains after General Pia
del Pilar, dragging their battery by bqu
faloes at night. A few, however, may be
trapped.

The \Vashingtoa troops have returned
to Pasig, but the programme of the other
troops is uncertain.

The present expedition shows the diffi-
culty which is encountered by an army
which must depend upon wagon trains.
in catching barefooted bandits in their
own mountains, and also gives proof that
the rebels do not intend to fight battles.

General Hall left Santa Teresa Mon-
day morning and marched 12 . 'les to
Morong, up and down rocky hi s and
through'woods and swamps. Scores of.
his men fell out, owing to the extreme
hen;J and were left to follow as best they
could. ,

The helps? of the army arrived at Mo-
rong at on, having exchanged only a
few shots with insurgent skirmishers on
the way. Groups of stragglers followed
all day; but the force was 200 smallel:
than who fit started. The men were al-
mo§t 36 ours without rations, and it
Was cdilsiderable of. an achievement for
them to cover the ground they did.

Still Held by Rocklnnd County.

NYACK, N. Y., June 7.——Late yester—
day afteriioon Sheriff Blauvelt and his
counsel, Lawyer Andrew Fallon, were in
conference, and the kidnaping case was
talked over briefly. Lawyer Fallon said
that so far as the law was concerned
"there is no court or person under God’s
heavens that can make the. Rockland
county authorities give up the prison-
ers.” He thinks it would be a good
thing for the sheriff to take all chances
and transfer the prisoners to the New
York authorities, thus establishing a
precedent. Lawyer Fallon said the
Rockland county people did not want the
prisoners, and the best thing would be
to get rid of them in the way he suggest-
ed. Sherifi Blauvelt does not think this
a good plan and does not care about as—
suming the responsibility of such action,
so he will probably continue to hold the
prisoners.

The British Plan, After All.

LONDON, June 7 .-—The correspond-
ent of The Daily News at The Hague
says: “It is now confessed that the Rus-
sian arbitration scheme was only pre-
sented hurriedly on Russia learning that
England was about to present a scheme.
Neither Russia nor America appears anx-
ious to press its scheme, and the work
of the arbitration committee has mainly
to do with the scheme of Sir Julian
Pauncefote, head of the British delega-
tion, which is likely to be adopted.” 1
