Up to midnight of the day before the
fourth. everything shout South Norwalk
mlpparently dead. The streets were
‘ thronged with people, to be sure, and the
occasional exploding "of a cracker was
heard. After midnight, however, the
young life of the city began to make
luff heard and felt, and in several cases
quite obnoxiously. They virtually “ran
the place.” The regular policemen, and
twoorthree specials, attempted to keep
-thscelebrating element within bounds,
but the force was entirely too inadequate
‘lo cope with the pent up enthusiasm and
glorification in the small boy. A wagon
_ was purloined from Luther Wright’s
repository, on Franklin street, and a tour
was made of the city and all available
barrels, boxes, timber and anything else
that would burn was collected. Fires
were kindled up North and South Main,
Eastand West Washington, Haviland
andWater streets, and the flames lighted
up the heavens for miles around. No
damage was caused from any of these
firm except the one ignited on South
Main street, in front of the store of the
South Norwalk Hardware company,
where a huge pile of boxes and tar and
gasoline barrels were placed. The flames
were so fierce and the heat became so in-
tense that an alarm was turned in short-
lybefore 3 o’clock from box.\3. The
prompt response and effective service of
the department undoubtedly saved Music
, Ball block from being the scene of a
serious fire or possibly from entire de-
struction. As It was, two plate glass
windows, one in the door and the other
in the fanlight of the hardware store,
were cracked by the heat. Four signs,
eachjvalued at$4 apiece, were mined, and
the front of the store will have to be re-
painted. The city will probably have to
pay for these losses, as insurance com-
panies are not responsible for such
damages. The Independent Social club
left the home of H. S. Muchell, on West
street, at midnight and made a circuit of
the city, waking the echoes with the
Dem0cratic mortar. tin horns, and their
lustyvoicesmnd burning a large quantity
of redfire and fireworks. Promptly at
midnight Sexton Wood rang the bell in
the tower of Trinity church. ushering in
the glorious Independence Day, and for
half an hour people were kept awake by
Its incessant peslIng.

Uptown the celebration began at sun-
down, July 3d, and continued until mid-
night last night. The town clocks had
barely ceased striking the hour of twelve
Tuesday night. when the din commenced
in earnest. The bells in all the churches
and schools peeled forth joyouely and
the discordant note: of the fish horn were
heard everywhere. The Alpha Wheel
club’s big mortar boomed forth a deafen-
ing salute from the square in front of the
Norwalk Hotel, bonfires were kindled on
Main street, near Phoenix Engine com-
pauya house, and another on the square
near the Norwalk Methodist church.
The l) ' itous small boy was out on
mlschie nt, and gates and stepping
stones suffered. Stephen II. Helms .’
residence on Main street was offered for
sale by means of a sign posted in his
front yard and numerous other myster.
ous changes took place. Chairs vanished
from front porches and were found in
trees, and flower urns found choice rest-
ing places on the sidewalks. Taking it
altogether, it was the noisiest Fourth
that patriotic old Norwalk has seen for
some time. Many stores where fire
works were sold remained open all night
and did a good business. The police
made no arrests during the night, and no
alarms were turned in. Three specials
were on duty. They were Thomas
Hunt, John Lowth and [mi Burdick.
The 8. 8 club were out in force, and the
Norwalk Lawn Tonal-I club also celc.
brsted.

and after the fireworks exhibition played
for the dancing, which was kept up
until nearly midnight. Mr. May's solos

together the day was a most pleasant
one, and The Knob proved a mostpleas-

had an ample force of assistants and
served a fine dinner to a large number.

Happy Day,” and one bright little girl

children, his remarks abounding in
happy thoughts appropriate to the ac
casino. After these exercises about $100
worth of magnificent fireworks were set
off in front of the cottage. There was
no special observance of the day on any
other part of the island. except various
pyrotechnic displays in the evening.
