THE MllilEY- illlE-I.
monthly
The regular December
meeting cf the Norwalk city council
was held Monday evening.
Aside from the Mayor the full board
of councilmen, clerk, assistant clerk,
and three reporters. no one else was
present, and the business was trans-
acted in an expeditious manner.
The board promptly proceeded to
business, taking cognizance first in or-
der of the matter of extra appropria-
tions to the highway department of
$1,000; sewer department, $300, admin-
istrative, 700 and fire $400.
It was shown that the matter of such
appropriations had been legally ad ver-
tised and as no objections were ofi'er-
ed, such appropriations were voted.
And then came a grist of bills aggre-
gating $2,501.10, divided among the
different departments as follows:
Administrative, 1,378. 52
Police, 191.50
Highway, 90. 52
Fire, 101.52
Sewer, 69.05
Library, 95.09
Light, 574.90
As the bills for the highway depart-
ment were being read, and that of D.
A. Newcomb for work on the highway,
and amounting to $30 was reached,
Councilman Meeker chairman of the
highway committee felt constrained to
remark upon the same.
He said that Mr. Newcomb had charg-
ed $4 a day for his services. He had
set Mr. Newcomb at work under the
w E
and throw me out.”
He quoted section 13 of the ordinan-
ces as corroborative of his statement,
and lo a somewhat sarcastic way said,
I find in seven pages of the ordinan-
ces the title ofstreet commissioner men-
tioned fourteen times and that of the
highway committee only once.”
He also said that so far as he could
now judge his committee had no power
to dictate as to the removal of build-
ings through the city thoroughfares,
and appealed to the city counsellor as
to the committees rights in the prem-
ises.
The counsellor briefly stated
such authority Iwas strictly within the
province of the street commissioner.
Councilman Goold Hoyt then ofiered
a communication as coming from Ofii-
cer Morehouse of the police force, and
accompanied by a letter from his at-
tending physician in which he, More-
house, asked for remuneration for loss
of time by reason of illness caused by
lifting a. woman. said to be crazy, into
a wagon. Mr. Hoyt in presenting the
communication said he thought it
would . be advisable to be cautious
about establishing a precedent by vot-
ing such money as asked for in the pray-
er of Mr. Morehouse.
Councilman Avison explained that
the woman wasa heavy one and he be-
lieved that the officer‘s illness was due
to a strain as alleged. He said further
that Mr. Morehouse had been on the
force for twelve or more years and that
this was the first time that he had been
disabled.
Mayor Glover then pertinently asked.
“Hasn’t he got sciatic rheumatism '9”
that
supposition that he had a perfect right
to do so, up to the last meeting of the ‘
board, after which he made up his mind
to keep fullyfiwithin the letter of the
ordinances. He was asked by a mem-
ber of the board if he knew that Mr.
Newcomb was still at work under
‘ supervision on Cannon street for the
city. He then went to Mr. Newcomb
and advised him that his work would
hereafter be done under the supervis-
ion of the street commissioner and
there stopped his work. M r. New-
combls bill was ordered paid.
The bills of the city assessors of $100
,. each, as well as those ofthe treasurer,
fire alarm superintendent, etc., were
ordered paid.
On motion of Councilman \Vilson a.
,unaminous vote was passed that the
clerk be instructed to draw orders for
the salaries of the Mayor and board of
councilman.
Chief Bradley reported the number
of arrests for last month as eight, and
234 transient-s given lodging.
The library report embodying the
the facts that there were 4,211 visitors
at the library, .and that 2,676 books
Were given out, was read and accept—
ed.
‘The bill ofgContractor H. E. Dann,
amounting to $2,337.37 for the macada-
mizing of a section ofMain street ac-
cording to contract, received attention,
and it was the sense of the board that
such bill ought not to be paid until
such work had been accepted by the
highway committee. Incidentally
Councilman Meeker suggested that the
entire board take a look at the work,
in which suggestion all acquiesced,
and the time set for such inspection
'Was Tuesday afternoon.
Councilman Meeker then quietly re-
marked, “I find I have again been
overstepping m y authority” and quoted
section 201" the city ordinances relative
to the highways.
Continuing he said “I have. been giv-
ing those pe:mits” (relative to open-
ing of streets) “ever since I held my
present office,” and passed over his
blank book of permits to the clerk with
the remark “I don’t know who else to
give it to.”
The clerk accepted it with the pro—
test that the street commissioner was
the proper custodian of the same.
But this did not end Mr. Meeker's
remarks as to his authority in' matters
pertaining to the highway, as he con-
tinued by saying, “Frequent complaints
have been made to me in reference to
the obstruction of the sidewalk in front '
of the Hanlon Bros. building by reason
of merchandize, etc., belonging to such
firm, and I called the firm’s attention
to it several times. Finally I went in-
to their place of business with the in-
tent of making my order peremptory.
'“Ifailed to find either of the pro-
prietors present. l have since learnr
ed that 1 had no authority whateverin
the premises and that either of the
, Messrs. Hanlon would have had a per--
' trightto catch me by the collar
,.
his l
N
Councilman HOyt remarked, “Ofii-
cer Kenney was sick for several weeks
but he didn’t get paid for the time he
lost.”
Councilmtn Wilson’s'inquisitiveness
at this juncture got the better of him,
and he caused all to smile audibly by
asking “What did he lift the wom ill
for any how?”
Mayor Glover explained that the
woman had kicked a door in at St
Mary’s rectory while crazed, and that
the officer had helped load her into his,
the Mayor’s, wagon and carted her t ) a
place where she could do no harm.
The matter was referred to the police
committee.
In the matter of the acceptance of
Fairview avenue, so called, on the rec-
ommendation of Councilman Meeker
the matter of such acceptance was de-
ferred until such time as the council is
provided with a map of the same, after
which the street will no doubt be ac-
cepted.
Councilman Meeker explained the
situation as to the placing of a drain on
Cannon street by saying that it would
necessitate an expense of $50 on the part
of the city, the balance being paid by
aproperty owner named St. John. He
was empowered to act in the matter.
The council then adjourned to De-
cember 18th.
Gen- Olmstead’s Funeral-
The funeral of the late General
Charles Olmstead was held from his
late residence on Union avenue, Mou-
,day afternoon at 2.30 o’clock. Rev. C,
W. Shelton ofiiiciated and a choir con~
sisting of Mrs. J. C. Newkirk. Miss Ag-
nes Ross Gibbs, David E. Disbrow and
Frank Nash sang several hymns. The

the Norwalk club and also from the
the board of directors of the Fairfield
County Savings Bank. The interment

Meager Reports From the
War In South Africa.
BOER FIRE HOT AI MODDER RIVER.
It In Reported That the Sevehth Di-
villon Will Be Mobilized at Al-
deohot — Cnvulrymen Kept
Back by Pursimony.
LONDON, Dec. 6.——The censorship
continues to be of the strictest charac-
ter. Virtually no news is allowed to pass
leaguercd garrisons and positions.
According to the latest accounts of the
battle of Modder River, the Boer fire
was the hottest on record and will revo-
lutionize existing theories: It was ef-
fective up to 1,600 yards, but the casual-
ties among the prone troops was trifling.
It was found impossible to bring the
British ammunition reserves to the firing
line. Many Boers wearing Red Cross
badges were actually employed in serv-
ing out ammunition.
In connection with the many accusa-
tions against the Boer indifference to the
laws of war a letter published in Cape
Town asserts that before the Transvaal
ultimatum was sent the Boer leaders dis-
cussed the policy of using the white flag
when driven into u: corner in older to de-‘" .
ceive the British commanders, and this
policy was generally approved.
It is reported that the mobilization of
a seventh division will be Ordered at’
Aldershot as a preparation for emergen-
cxes. -
The Morning Post complains that there
are plenty of cavalrymen available at
home, but that parsimony prevents their ,
being sent to South Africa, where they
are urgently needed.
The Daily Mail announces that Colonel
W. A. Yule, who succeeded General Sir
\Villiam Symons in command of the Brit-
in Natal after that officer
was wounded in the battle of Talana
Hill, and who was promoted from the
rank of substantive lieutenant colonel in
the army to that of major general on the
staff. to command the Eighth brigade of
the South African force, with substan-
tive rank of colonel in the army, is on his
way to England, being in broken health.
A special dispatch from Estcourt cen-
sures Rear Admiral Sir Robert Harris,
commander in chief of the Cape of Good
Hope and IVcst African squadrons, for
his delay in sending Captain Scott and
Captain Lambton, with guns, to Lady-
smith. “It is notorious,” says the corre-
spondent, “that only at the last moment,
on Oct. 30, while a decisive action was
pending, did Captain Lambton of the
Powerful arrive at Ladysmith. A week,
a day, a few hours might, and I doubt
not would, have saved the situation and
delayed the investment, if it had not end-
ed the Boer attempt.”
A Modder River special, dated Thurs-
day, Nov. 30, says:
"The Boers occupy a strong ridge about
six miles north of this point. Today the
lancers came into contact with them.”
The Daily Mail has a dispatch from
Mafeking, dated Tuesday, Nov. :8,
which says, “All well."
Mines Filling \Vith \Vnter.
PRETORIA, Dec. 6.—-The Standard
and Diggers’ News says that Wednesday
lust Mr. Cecil Rhodes’ dispatches. inter-
cepted near Kimberley, said the De
Beers mines were filling with water and
that Mr. Rhodes estimated the damage
at $50,000 per day.
Railroad Earnings.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.~The prelim-
inary report on the income account of
railways in the United States for the
year ended June 30, 1899, compiled by
the statistician to the interstate com-
merce commission from the returns of
operating railway companies, represent-
ing 185.245 miles of line, received prior to
Nov. 24, shoWs that‘thc gross earnings
of the railways embraced in this, advice
report were for the year ended June 30,
1899, $1,307.253,484, or $7,057 per mile
of line. Passenger earnings were $360,-
227,319; freight earnings. $913,358,488,
and other earnings from operation, $33,~
(307,677. The gross earnings shown in
the final report for 1898 were nearly $60,-
000,000 less than this amount. The oper-
ating expenses for the last fiscal year
were $852,428,105, or $4,602 per mile of
line. The net earnings or income from
operation were $454,825,379, an‘ increase
of 31,073,304 being shown in this item
for the year.
Fire In Electric I’lnnt.
SCHENECTADY, N. Y., Dec. 6.—An
explosion of combustibles occurred in
shop 55 of the General Electric company
at 8:40 last night, and for a time fire
menaccd the entire building and the sur-
rounding shops. No. 55 is used for the
manufacture of armatures and contains
a number of highly inflammable com-
pounds. The company has its own fire
department, which, with the city firemen,
had the flames under control after an
hour’s hard fighting. The building, which
is of brick and steel, was considerably
damaged, and fire and water ruined a
large amount of stock and a number of
machines. Officials of the company de-
clined to give an estimate of the loss.
They said, however, that the heaviest
loss was the delay in work which the fire
would cause.
Holler Explosion.
JOLIET, Ills., Dec. 6.-—Thc explosion
of a boiler in the billet mill at the Joliet
plant of the Illinois Steel company yes-
terday caused frightful injuries to nine
men, with another man missing, possibly

Board of Election Commis-
sioners Finishes Its Work.
ELEVEN
The Great Fight Will VNow Be on
the Right to Go Behind the Re-
turns—Governor Bradley De-
nies Manolo" Charges.
FRANKFORT, Ky., Dec. 6.—The
state board of election cummissioners, sit-
ting as a canvassing board, finished its
work at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon.
and today at 11 o‘clock the members will
sit in the state senate chamber as a con-
testing board to hear arguments in the
cases of 11 contested counties. The first
.great fight will come up on the question
of whether or not the board has the right
to go behind the certificated returns filed
with the secretary of state by the differ-
ent counties. Upon the issue of the at-
gument on this point will rest the name
of the next governor of Kentucky. 0n
the face of the returns now on file with
the committee Taylor has a plurality of
2,838, his total vote being 193,714,
CONTESTED COUNTIES.‘
against 191,331 for Goebel. If there is to -
be no “going behind” the returns the
board will have no option but to issue the
certificate of election to Taylor. If the
board decides that it has the power to'
go behind the returns there is no telling
who will receive the certificate. It will
depend entirely upon the results of the
contest to be decided before the board,
and the matter will without 'doubt be
carried for final settlement to the state
legislature which meets next month.
The proceedings were enlivened byi
Governor Bradley, who made an address
to the board regarding the statement that
he had brought soldiers into Frankfort.
As he entered Governor Bradley in~
quired: “Can I interrupt your board a
moment? I want to make a public state-
ment. I received your communication a
few moments ago. I was a little busy at
the time and my attention was not called
to it until a moment ago. I answered it
at once. I only want to answer it in
writing, and I want to make a statement
for the benefit of lying correspondents
that are purposely misrepresenting.”
Here the governor was interrupted by
Judge Hargis, the senior Democratic
counsel, who for some time had been try-
ing to break in, but could not until Gov-
ernor Bradley paused to breathe.
“I object to this statement,” said
Judge Hargis. “I don’t know what it is
about.”
“It is about the presence of the sol-
diers,” said Judge Pryor.
“Then I have no objection,” returned
Judge Hargis.
“I don’t care if you do object,” replied
the governor, with a strong emphasis on
the “I.” “I want to say there were no
soldiers here. There are some officers
here, who have come here on individual
business, but not in uniform. N0 soldier
is here, no citizen is here, by my order.
I don’t do things that way. I want to
say, Mr. Chairman, that I came to you
yesterday morning, seeing this crowd
here, and said to you if you wanted the
crowd excluded from this building I
would do it.”
“That is right,” retorted Judge Pryor,
“and I so notified the board.”
“I say to you,” went on the governor,
speaking in quick, emphatic tones, “that
no officer shall be intimidated in the dis-
charge of his sworn duty as long as I
am governor of this state, and any man
who intimates that I have called soldiers
here or anybody here is a malicious liar.
That is all I have to say to the board.”
“We thought,” replied Judge Pryor,
“that it was due to us and just to you
that you should be notified of the fact
that was suggested.”
“That is right,” said Governor Brad-
ley as he walked toward the door. Turn-
ing, with his hand on the doorknob, he
said emphatically, “I am responsible for
it in here or out of here.”
Immediately upon the conclusion of the
canvass Judge Pryor remarked:
“Gentlemen, you will please submit in
writing when the board convenes tomor-
row (”Dies of the charges you bring in
each county and will, of course, serve
copies upon the attorneys on the other
side.”
.Ex-Governor McCreary declared that
it would be very difficult to do this in the
time allowed.
“I don’t think so,” said Commissioner
Ellis. “Just put it into the briefest pos-
sible shape. Don‘t attempt any argu-
ment. Just 'state your case.”
Pix-Governor McCreary assented to
this, and then ensued an argument on
whether the Democratic lawyers should
be allowed to take the certificd returns
from the office of the secretary of state
in order to secure the precise data on
which to base their charges.
Mr. Wilson for the Republicans sug—
gested that the attorneys for both sides
visit the office of the secretary of state
and go over the returns together, thus ob-
viating all necessity for removing them
from the office. This was finally agreed
to.
Mr. Wilson then suggested that as the
great question to be settled by the board
today was whether or not it has a right
to go behind the certified returns it
might be well to argue that question
first, as all the others depended on it.
The matter was not decided, but “it will
probably be brought up at the opening of
the first contest. So far there has not
been the slightest indication of trouble in
Frankfort. The streets have not been
crowded. There have been no more ar-
rests than usual. The canvassing of
votes has been carried through in the
most harmonious manner, and there has
been no lack of courtesy by the repre-
sentatives of each party toward the
other.

EIGHIEEE NEW WARSHIPS NEEDED
Honor Due Those Who Took Part In
Battle of Santiago—Armor Seeded
For Vessel. Building— Smoke- ‘
~lean Powder to Bl: Supplied.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-—The annual
report of the secretary of the navy, just -
made public, is a document of unusual;
interest, dealing not only with the work i
of the navy during the past year and im-
, portant recommendations for the future. ‘5
but also discussing the more important
questions relating to the navy, including 1
the authorization of 18 new warships;
the imperative need of special legislation l
‘in the early days of congress for armor
of the best quality that opp be obtained ,
l
chief of the north Atlantic squadron and l
and the proposition that the thanks of
congress be given to the commander in
to the officers and men under his com]
mand for the part they took in the nava.i -
operations at Santiago.
These larger items of the report to ‘
ceive extended attention at the hands of
Secretary Long. As to the increase of,
the navy he says:
. “The number of large, swift and power-
] armored cruisers of great coal-endur- !
ance in our navy is largely disproportion -‘
ate to the rest of the naval establish-
ment. The experience of the last year
has also shown the need of several small- ‘
er vessels usually classed as gunboats. It ?
is therefore recommended that congress!
be requested to authorize the construe. 3
tion of the following vessels: '
First—Three armored cruisers of about
13,000 tons trial displacement of a maxi-
mum draft at deep load not to exceed 26
feet, carrying the heaviest armor and
most powerful ordnance for vessels of
their class, to be sheathed and copperedl
and to have the highest practicable speed i
and greatradius of action. * l
“Second—Twelve gunboats of about
900 tons trial displacement, to be sheath-
ed and coppered.
“Third.—-—As recommended a year ago,
three 'protected- cruisers of about 8,000
tons trial displacement, carrying the most
powerful ordnance for vessels of their
class, to be sheathed and coppercd and to
have the highest practicable speed and
great radius of action.”
The secretary’s reference and recom-
mendation as to those who took part in
the operations at Santiago are as fol‘;
lows:
“While those engaged in the battle of ,
Manila have been deservedly rewarded— .
and no men ever deservd reward more
richly—those who took part in the opera-
tions at Santiago, displaying the same
conspicuous conduct and extraordinary
heroism, have received no recognition
whatever for their great services except
the recommendations for promotion by
the president, which have lapsed, not
having been acted upon by the senate.
“The department believes it due to
these gallant men to suggest to you that
their services be recognized and equal
justice done them and that in accordance
with the statute in such cases made and
provided you recommend that the thanks
of congress be given to the commander
in chief of the north Atlantic squadron
and to the olncers and men under his
command, as they were given in the case
of the commander in chief and officers
and men of the Asiatic squadron. The
north Allan’s?" squadron was charged
with great aim curling duties, including
the blockade ot‘ L‘uha, co-operation' with
the army and 2 :2 pursuit, blockade and
capture or destruction of the Spanish
squadron under Admiral Ccrvera, all
which it discharged with signal cfli~
ciency.”
Concerning armor for warships the
secretary says:

the provision in the act of March 3, 1899,
prohibiting the department from con-
tracting for the vessels therein author-
ized until contract has been made for
the armor therefor within $300 a ton.
The price fixed is one for which even in-
ferior armor cannot be obtained, and the
department has therefore been unable to
invite proposals for the three battleships
and the three armored cruisers authorized
by the act of March 3, 1899.” ‘
The secretary then shows that 7.358
tons of armor are needed for the battle.

9,000 tons for the new battleships not yet
begun and about 5,100 tons for the ar- ,,
mored cruisers already authorized, a to-
tal of about 21,458 tons.
Secretary Long refers to the return of
Admiral Dewey and his enthusiastic wei-
come from the whole country. After
speaking of the New York reception and
the sword presentation in I‘Vashingtot,
the secretary sums up by saying it was
the nation’s tribute.
Among the many‘ other topics treated it
that for fostering the naval reserve, the
consolidation of the naval bureaus of
construction, engineering and equipment
in the interest of more harmonious ac-
tion, the construction of barracks for en-
listed men and a review of the various
bureau recommendations, the desirability
of changing the material of the League
Island and the Mare Island drydocks
from timber to stone and concrete. The
warships claiming bounty and prize mon-
ey from the many captures and engage
ments during the war are set forth in do:
tail. The secretary says the survey of
the transpacific cable route indicates that
it will be entirely practicable. It is in-
tended also to survey a cable route frat.

supply all new ships with smokeless pow-
der. The 12 inch gun has been so great.

ships instead of the 13 inch gun.
