Following the _ and approval of the minutes of previous meetings, a number of citi- m of Beyvlew avenue and Hillside spoke regarding the layout and Wing of those thoroughfares. In reply to questions, Street Commis- Brlggs said that Bayvlew avenue, from hillside place to High street, would "filled in about three-fourths of a foot, ' , , the east side of Bayview avenue, from Hillside place to West street, would out about a foot. Y. 8. Lyon thought the widening of the street would be a big improvement to "property, and would give the strip ‘1! and one-half feet wide taken from in Molhil property, provided other pro- , party owners would do the same. IL D. Randall, who appeared for T. 1. Raymond, said the latter would object to the taking of thirteen feet from his thatths collector for the two preceding yearshsd not collected about 58.000 of taxes.snd offered the following resolu- tics. which wupaesed unanimously; ' the committee on cilat its next regu The committee on printing was in- structed tchave printed 1,500 formulas for contracts. The committee on fire department re~ ported favorably on John W. Powell’s petition to build a frame addition to his barn on Madison street, and Carl Schaub‘s petition to erect a kitchen on Railroad place. Councilman Slater thought it was un- necessary to give the city's lire horse so pull the heavy supply wagon flout the city and up hills with three or tour men hanging on. He suggested waiting a couple of weeks until the new one was completed. Councilman Hoyt said it was necessary to exercise the horse, and that the reason the horse went up the hill a week or so ago, was because, the driver misunderstood the alarm. He said if there was an indicator inthe hose house this would not have happened. The resignation of John F. Many from the police force was accepted, but it was decided to defer the election of an oilicer "property, but would not object to a smaller portion, as it would not then in terlere with work he had done. Andrew J. Thompson, who represent- ed the estate of the late Burr Nash, gave a history of the "lane,” which, fifty years ago, when sold by Daniel Nash to his brother Burr, was only a cow path; he told how the latter had given a strip four feet wide soon after- ward to widen the thoroughfare, and had then planted several apple and two nut trees, which hid the house from , passers-by; if thirteen feet were taken from that property also. these trees would have to becut down, and as they were considered of great value, at least “00 would he demanded for them. The building lots which the family had had laldout on West street would also be ‘ greatly damaged, and the taking of a portion of the property would really spoil one,and together with the trees, damages in the sum of $3,000 would be mad. Ruben Dickerman thought forty feet would be wide enough, instead of forty- five, although he did not wish to stand in the way of any improvement. As the Council did not propose to pay for any property necessary to widen the street. it was decided to adjourn the bearing until next Monday night, to give the property owners an opportunity to confer with each other,and try to come to some agreement. Attorney Light, of the committee of citizens appointed to wait on the Council withregard to saving the trees on the city streets, told of the meeting just held and desired the Council to take some speeedy action regarding them. It was suggested that a contract might be made with Hoyt Sons, of New Canaan. as thec'lty of Norwalk had done, to spray the trees fora certain amount. Members of the Council, however, thought it best logo slow in the matter, and Council- men Sister, Seymour, and Sculley advocated the appointing of a committee to investigate as to the best method and probable cost. Councilmen Nash and Sohaub spoke strongly in favor of going ahead with the worlt at once if it was desired to save the trees, and Council. marl Hoyt also expressed himself as in favor of the movement. Several mem- bers of the citizens’ committee stated that they would be willing to pay for the spraying dens in front of their property, and others who were heard froth said they would pay their proportion toward spraying the trees. Councilman Nash oderedtoprocure a powar pump, and Engineer W. is. Rider offered the use of his garden pump to assist in the work, On motion of Councilman Seymour. Councilmen Slater and Schaub were ap- pointed a committee to learn the best method,sud ”00 was appropriated by tbsCouncil to enable them to begin work at once.

The following appeared in the Hour last Saturday: If reports are true, an outrage was committed near the South Norwallr rear ervoir a few days ago. If seems that David Whitlock, nearly 70 years of age, who lives near Silverminc, and who, several years ago was afflicted with par- ralysis which affected his mind and from which he has never recovered, sat fishing by the road side, when a man named Barlow, who is employed to look after the propsrty,came along, accompanied by his wife. Not only did they demand that he quit fishing at once; but it is al- leged they took his fish pole and beat him with It until it was broken in ieoes. It is reported that Barlow held its old gentlemen while Mrs. Barlow adminis- tered the thrashing. it was, if reports are true, an outrage of which our author- ities should take official notice. Mr. and Mrs. Barlow called at THE Scanner. office, and desired us to make the following explanation: Mr. Whit- lock has persisted in fishing in the res- ervoir. Mr. Barlow is in charge of the reservoir, clothed with authority of law and instructed by the Water Commis- sioners to arrest persons apprehended in the act of fishing in the reservoir. In this case Mrs. Barlow came upon Mr. Whitloch while fishing and warned him to desist. He replied that he had fished there before and would lish there again. Then Mr. Barlow came up and told him he had no right to fish there and must stop.“ Mr. Whitloclr said he would fish there, and grabbed Mr. Barlow. Mr. liar. low in self defense took hold of him and eat him down. Mr. Whitlock attached Mr. Barlow again with his pole and Mrs. Barlow came, to the rescue. and together they got the pole from him. in the melee, Mrs. Barlow was caught in the face and hand by the fish-hook. The [pole was broken, but no blows were struck. Mrs. Barlow that afternoon called on Mrs. Whitloclt and suggested that she come to South Nor- wullt and we the Commissioners if she did not want him arrested, Mr. Barlow having come loSouih Norwallr and re- ported the matter to the Water Commis- sioners. Mrs. Whitloclr replied that she could not spare the lime, and that it would be folly to arrest Mr. Whitlock as he had been crazy for six years. The matter was then dropped and no one was more surprised at the account in the Hour than Mr. and Mrs. liarlow,lhey having the feeling that they had acted in the most kind and friendly manner to- ward Mr. Whitloclt.

Gregory, of Cranberry Plains, Denounces her Son-ln-law, Ill» Iner Miller. for Desertlng his Wife. The Sunday evening prayer meeting in the little chapel at Cranberry Plains de- veloped a sensation, last Sabbath, which has stirred that otherwise peaceful com- munity to its depths. The meeting had been an impressive one, conducted in good old Methodist style. and just before the close brief testimonies were called for by Peter Buckley, leader of the meet- ing. Among those whospchc was bliss Alice Buckley, the eighteen-yesr-old daughter of the leader. Among others who made a few remarks was Elmer Miller, who told how he had been saved and was thankful for the Lord's goodness to him. A few moments elapse-d. and then Mrs. Mary Jane Gregory, a devout Christian worker in the church, got up and addressed the congregation. She re- minded them that Mr. Miller was her son-in-law, and that he had deserted his wife a year ago last Dumber. taking their little sou away from his mother. She then hinted at his apparent lnfntuaiion for Miss Buckley, in whose company be was often seen. and in an impressive tona told the tale of a mother going down to the grave,broken-hearted and half dc- msnled, because she was not even per- mitted to gaze upon the features of her boy. The story, it is said, drew tears, to many eyes. Miller sat through it all with pallld countenance,but had nothing to say. The residents of that farming dis. trict acquiesce, it is said, with Mrs. Gregory in condemning Miller’s actions. Mrs. Gregory and her daughter live in a little red house just off the main road at Cranberry Plains, reached by a rocky lane. The place has an air of neuroses, both without and within. showing that the (lregorys are thrifty people. When a reporter called there yesterday, Ifrs. Gregory was in Norwalh, the guest of her sister, Mrs. Lizzie Rogers, of Bethe lsy street, but live. Illller was at home. She is twenty-eight your of age. but looks much older. and impresses one as being a frail, nervous creature upon who'se mind something is weighing heavily. it was learned that she sonar- sd from melancholic at timer and had to be closely watched: also that she had been mentally un- balanced by her troubles. She talks rational casual». however. but when dis- her humid fall into her lip, lid with s faraway loch in her eyes,“ will picket thehem of her handkerchief, long drawn A meeting of a number of prominent cilvzens of South Norwalk was. held at the silica of Taylor dc Holden, last night, to consider the advisability of organizing an improvement society to aid in the general improvement of the city. The object of such a society is to protect the trees. flowers, natural beauty and scenery of .lhe city. In many places where simi. Iar organisations exist the ladies of the town and children, too, are members. They look after the protection of the trees and tiowers, saving them from the deadly worms and other insects detrimen- [Al to their foliage. Several of the gentle- men present related their knewledge and experience with such socities. and it is very evident that unusually great in- terestiwill be awakened in the public mind by the formation of such a society. Tile;meeting was called to order by A. Blanchard, vi ho was appointed chairman. K. W. Mansfield was elected secretary. The by-laws of several societieesimilar to the one proposed here were read. One was of a society in slelronr. )lsse..ami an- other in Harte. a small lull!) in the same state. After a thorn lgll dim-,usslon of the lul— vantages of such an organization. a mo- tion was made by H. .-\. Woodward, seconded by Robert ll. Rowan, that a (:ullllllillct' of three or live be appointed in draw up the requisite ivy-laws and re— port at a future public nil-cling to be held in some hall. and at the same time decide upon a name.

In, October, 1882, Elmer Mllif'f’ and Miss Elizabeth Gregory were married by Dr. W. Clarke, then pastor of the Nor- walk Methodist church. They had a pretty home wedding, and the farm house where Mrs. Miller now lives was the scene of festivity and merry-making. Shortly after the wedding they moved to waathesidiugtberefor some years. Miller at one time was in the tea and spice business. and afterwards conducts-d asmall grocery store near (trove street. South Norwallr. After a time he gave up the grocery business and went to work for his father, who was and is now run- ning a milk route.
