The Reporter was Working on .DW 1'. Ind Filled It Regardless oi the hull. The New York World, today, con- tains another column and a half article on the discharge of the eight employ“ of the Norwalk Icon Works com- pany, in which there is not a semblance of truth. . . The article states that an indignation meetinz was held at the Mahackclno Hotel, yesterday afternoon, at which the “majority of members of the city council, many ministers, and citizens, irrespective of party, were present." and also contains a copy of resolutions pur- porting to have been pleased at the meet- ing. Landlord Walz stated “emphatic- ally this morning that no such meeting was held at the hotel. The reported in- terviews with prominent men of the city are designated by them as “fakes," pure and simple; they did not see a World reporter, and have no desire to if the article in question is the way they are to be represented. E. Hill, of the Norwalk Iron Works company, said a reporter called on him yesterday for intersection. but not one word he said was given in the World to- day, the report being incorrect from be- ginning to end. He said it was not true that a messenger was sent to the dis- charged men for the purpose of getting them back again. The letter of recom- mendation, over which the World makes so much fuss, was given to Mr. Simona at his own request, and not urged upon him by the company. Oliver Weed, foreman in the filing room, stated that there was no truth in the story that he told a man who was reading the World to stop or else goto the office and get his pay. The representative of The World who came to South Norwalk gate his name as Donald Arthur Laestlttr. \ A Card. ' In today's “issue of the New York World appeared on article which stated that an indignation mention was held at the Mahackcmo Hotel in reference to the discharge of men In the Norwalk Iron Works for political affiliations. It also stated that the meeting was attended by a large number of citizens and a major» ity of the City Council. and at that insulin}: :1 resolution was adopted condemning the action of the managers of thwnbow named firm. and that the restriction was signed by CL-I'llllll citizrns. among whom appeared my name. I wish here to publicly declare that I had no knowledge that said meeting was to behold: that I received no invitation to attend such meeting: that l was not present at such meeting and look no part in its deliberations, and authoriz- ed no one to use my name in connection with the same: and futhermore, know nothing as to the merits of the case in question as I have heard no debates nor statement in regard to the matter.

Amend the Complaint. than mi..- un flake m Ira-gills. and Justin Amu- Adieu-I the can. The adjourned case of State W Michael Fallon, for Sunday liquor selling. came up at 10 o’clock this morningin the borough court room. Al on allur- day. the room was crowded. . The proceedings opened hyProaecllilng. Agent Honnecker asking permission to amend his complaint by adding another count concerning the former conviction of Mr. Fahau for illegal liquor selling. Attorney Frost. who appeared for the the State had rested its code; thltthe charge was a separate one, upon which the testimony of the prosecution had not been taken. Attorney Honnecker oun- teated the fact, saying that it VIII! amendment to the charge of calling liquor without I license. ' After considerable discussion the 31w tics decided that the complaint ehouldbo amended. Attorney Frost filed an exception, as he said he should take the case up on a writ of error. He then moved for the discharge of the prisoner on the flat count for the reason that Michael PM was charged with keeping an unlicensed saloon, and there was not a scintilla of evidence that the accused did not luvs a license. Attorney Frost also made I strong argument for the defense, and furtherasked for the discharge of the prisoner. on the ground that there was no evidence to show that Michael em conducted such a place; that Kate Flhan rented the rooms where the prosecution claimed liquor was sold. Prosecuting Agent Honueckcr said he was glad the defense admitted the place was kept by Kate Yahoo, as then the State could attack her license. Afters tilt over this question between the IS- tcrneys, Attorney Frost further asked for the discharge of the prisoner on the second count of the complaint, accusing the prisoner of selling liquor to John Uzell, for the reason that there was no evidence to show that he did not have a licensctoseil to John Uzell. He then I'PIKI'IT‘d to the insufficiency of the proof. Aspirited argument between the law- yers ensued, when some one in the crowded court room shouted, ”lizell was asp}. —- -——— him." Justice Austin ordered Constable Ire- land to put the man out. but Attorney Front asked that hebe allowed to re- marmasno one could tell who it was that shouted. Attorney Frost then characterized the appearance of Uzell on the will)“ stand, and caused considerable ammo- mcnt by his little burlesque. Attorney Honnecker didn’t like “in, and objected. ‘ The attorneys then got to wrangling again, after which Mr. Frost attache!“ Uzell‘s record in the criminal courts. He also asked for the prisoner’s db- charge on the the third count, upon the .,, Works, are putting ifp poles and string- ing wires, preparatory to erecting two new lights One will be at. the intersec- tion of Monroe and State streets and the other on Lexington avenue. The lamps, which are manufactured in Chicago, have been ordered. and will be here, it is expected, by the latter part of the week. The addition of these two, will make ninety-nine arc lamps in use in South Noru‘alkmninety-four for street lighting purposes and five for lighting the coun- cil chamber, trunk house. hose house, and electric light station. Commissionv cr Wiuehrstcr has in Ills misses-ion a c unprchnnslvo table, recently published in n western paper, showing the cell and other details connected with electric lighting in all the principal cilia of the United States. From the tabulated statistics it. appears that, in proportion to population, South Norwalk has more lumps, is better lighted and at less cost titan any other city represented in the table. (hmnniueioncrs Smith. Volk and Win- chester have been devoting their even- ings recently to Working on their annual report, which will soon be ready to pre- sent to the Common Council.
