We. at the mks-c liotcl. marred
0!!! by the am» of “Billy" Johnson.
John L. Sullivan. the ex—champion
pit/gill». visited South Norwalk about
daylight this morning, coming from Nor-
walk, where he gave a performance last
night. Coming down West avenue. a
poorvsnder of street organ music was
othakcn, and the man. with his instru-
Mt, submitted to being taken into Sul-
livan's carriage, where be ground out
Wag selections. On North
lain street, however, Sullivan's triumph-
al march (or ride) was brought to s end-
den termination by the appearance of
twoof our city’s stalwart guardians of
the peace, Officers Pennington and Many.
They made the organist alight from the
vehicle. under penalty of arrest for mak-
ing a nuisance of himself if. he persisted
in playing. lir. Sullivan was compelled
tocontinue the ride unaccompanied by
the strains of " Comrades.” “ Two Little
Girls in Blue,” and other well-worn-out
selections. -
About 0 o'clock the coachman reined up
in trout of the Mabackemo Hotel. and
thou-champion hustled out and made
adash for the harroom, where he held
a grand reception from that time until
7 o'clock. Landlord Wain was up bright
and early to give him the right hand of
fellowship. The hotel lobby and cafe
were crowded with people. and the
streets. from the hotel entrance to the
postofllce and Solmans' livery cities
were thronged with admirers of the
great ex-pounder of anatomy. Mr. Sul-
livan was much disappointed in not see
fig Bartender William Johnson. Every
few minutes he would inquire, “Where
is Johnson?" ”Where is Johnson?"
“Why don‘t be turn up?" But he
waited in vain for "Billy.” “Sammy."
the young man who was behind the bar
in the absence of Mr. Johnson, was
kept busy. and the wine flowed like
water while Sullivan was around. About
7 o'clock he was assisted to his vehicle
and drove off through the crowd to Nor
walk.
Sullivan then drove down East avenue
andthrough East Norwalk. The small
boy who was throwing stones at birds on
his way to school, and wondering
whether or not to play "bookie." espied
the champion riding in state through
VauZandt avenue, and with eyes almost
bulging out of his head yelled, “Hallo.
Bully, old hey, what’s yer hurry P” But
the idol declined to stop until he reached
the ionsorlai parlors of John Keogh. on
the bridge. where he was shaved by Al-
bert Brown, the champion tonsorial artist
of the East Side. Mr. Brown, after shav-
ing Sullivan. knocked off for the remain-
der of the day. and yet was just as happy
as though he had not played Lowland"
in the Brooklyn handicap. yesterday.
Returning to South Nurwaik Sullivan
continued his tour about. town until the
departure of the 8:48 train. which he
boarded for Winsted.

Two Ferocious Dogs Attack a liar who
want to Collect la Bill. '
This morning Frank Wilzok, employed
by C. Ii. Harvey. the shoe dealer. went
to the home of kits. Eliza Skidd, Ferris
avenue, to collect a bill. A large dog
guarded the front entrance to the house,
so Mr. Wilzok walked to the rear door.
Here wasa still larger and more fero-
cious brute. which sprang on the man and
tore his clothing from his body. The
. other dog. hearing the commotion. also
came around. and fastened his teeth in
Mr. Wilsok's trousers. Had not hire.
Skidd opened the door just at that time
and lulled the bruises off, they probably
would have seriously injured Mr. Wil-
nek. Fortunately, outside the damage
done to his clothing. he was not hurt.

After the opening formalities. W. W.
Gillespie. chairman of the joint com-
mittee of Rippowam and Puritan lodges.
of this city, made an address of wel-
cometo the visitors. He was followed
by the Hon. Samuel Fessenden. also a
past grand of Rippowam,who spoke in a
similar strain. The report of Grand
Master William H. Marigold, of Bridge-
port, was then read. It was very
lengthy. and included reports submitted
to him by twenty-six district deputies.
The grand master said in part:
Brothers: It had been our hope that
at the meeting today we might report a
membership of 15,000 Odd Fellows in
‘ Connecticut. but owing to the condition
of business, the institution of many
lodges projected was of necessity «de-
ferred until a more favorable period.
Had we been able to form the new lodges
hoped for, we should certainly have at-
tained the wished-for mark. as the old
Lodges showed their zeal by initiating
954 members, as against 951 last year. a
gain in initiations of three, notwithstand-
ing the business depression. We report
to :40“ a membership, January 1, of
14. 0, again of 335 or the year. with
one new subordinate lodge instituted;
In the Rebekah branch we report a
gain of four new lodges and a member-
ship, January 1, of 1,567 brothers and
2,002 sisters. a total of 3.509. a gain of
347 for the year. As three of the new
lodges were instituted since January 1,
the gain for the Grand Lodge year lacon-
siderably greater. Several new Rebekah
lodges are coutem lated, which is a
matter of con tu tion,ae they have
proven a value ie adjunct to the subordi-
nate lodges. lwouid suggest that the
expense of the institution of those lodges
to the Grand lodge be covered by a
reasonable fee for the charter.
The report of Grand Secretary Freder-
ick Botsford showed that there are now
seventy-nine lodges in the state against
seventy-eight last year. The totalre-
ceipts of subordinate lodges during the
year were $134,313.68. The sum of .75.-
230.02 was paid for relic fand $01,387.52
for expenses, a loss during the year of
$2,303.86. The total fund January 1.
1894, was $389,510 as.
The total membership January 1, 1894.
was 14,646, a not gain for the year of 33.3.

said: “And now i wish to say afew
words on the subject of our Odd Felicwa'
Home. Every member of this Grand
Lodge knows that the grand secretary
has been an enthusiastic advocate ofa

FIVE IINUTE DISCUSSIONS.

Decidsdly Interesting Session.
The Young lion's Debating club held
a decidedly interesting session last night
at the home of William L. Rider. West
avenue. There was a large attendance
of members. but owing to the absence of
one of the debaters. it was voted to have
the debate on Tuesday evening, J one 12,
the date being changed from the llltli on
“account of Founders' Day; A number of
five minute discussions were bad at last
evening‘s meeting and proved most pro-
fitable and enjoyable. Among the sub-
jects were Resolved, “That lfr. lagersoll
is honest in his belief as regards Christ-
ianity." “That man has another chance
of winning eternal life after death."
"That the Democratic party has failed to
fulfill the promises made last campaign.”
“That a city boy in the country is green-
er than a country boy in the city.”
“That protection is the policy for the
United States," "That walking is better
for one than riding." ”That our intended
new high school building should be
placed in the southern part of the city."
The committee was instructed to secure
a suitable club badge. The next meet-
ing will be held at the home of Arthur

Develop into an Improvement hoclcty.
To the Editor of the Sentinel: We
have been much interested lately in the
communications and editorials in your
paper and in the Norwalk papers inro-
iatioa to the destruction of theelm trees.
It is very evident that concerted action
oughtto be taken immediately topre-
vent,any further injury. The state of
Massachusetts has been appropriating
annually thousands of dollars for the
destruction oh the gypsy moth. so called.
which has made serious ravages in the
beautiful suburbs just north of Boston.
They have a regular uniformed inspec-
ting and police department, which has
full authority to enter upon any and all
private and public grounds to search for
and destroy the insects, even tocutttng
down and burning the trees if they deem
it advisable. They are on duty summer
and winter. In fact, it leathorougbly
organized, fully equipped department.
with full authority to act.
Now, it seemsto us that. in a small
way, something of this kind should be
attempted here. The elm trees of this
region are far too valuable and famous
to beallowed to be entirely obliterated
through lack of attention. West and
Elmwood avenues, in particular. have
been perfect bowers of magnificent and
stately elms,.of which. all residents of
bothcities and town are justly proud.
Can you imagine for a moment the ap-
pearance of these avenues bereft of their
shade trees?
We would like to see a commission ap-
pointed of prominent citizens of Norwaik.
South Norwalk and the town of Nor-
walk, who would co-operatein this work,
backed by the municipal authorities.
And in order that they may be supplied
with the mummy funds. we suggest,
Mr. Editor, that you allow a subscription
list to be opened under .the auspices of
your valuable papa. This company will
gladly head the list with a liberal sub-
scription. Norwalk papers will surely
cooperate in this. If this could develop
into an Improvement Society, when
every man. woman and child becomes a
member upon payment of $1 annually.
the results would be most far reaching.
and in a very few years streets now bu-
ren would be lined with sturdy young
elm and maple trees, and our highways
and public grounds would become still
more attractive and famous.
