Notwithstanding the continuance
throughout the whole of the fiscal year,
. that has just closed,of the general business
depression, which marked the preced-
ing year, it is gratifying to be able to
report for the association fully as pros-
perous a "business as has marked any
receding year. its usual semi-annual
dividend aggregating 7 per cent. having
been duly earned, declared and credited,
at the same time that the surplus has
somewhat increased.
In this peroid, when savings have been
exceptionally difficult, no less than fifty-
two members have joined the association
and commenced the system of saving,
which they have seen prove so remuner-
ative and helpful to others. This num-
ber was even in excess of the additions
during the previous year. In spite of
the hard times, also, money borrowing
members have been sblslin part with
the savings which have accumulated in
their credit in the association treasury)
to repay their loans. the receipts from
this source equalling $12,700. These re-
payments enabled the association to
meet the needs of its new borrowers on
easy terms. notwithstanding the with-
drawals, which its lllt'nlllt‘f'il, in common
with depositors in other savings institu—
tions, were obligr d to make during the
stress of the hard times. It is a source
of satisfaction that these withdrawals
could be promptly met on demand and
without requiring any legal ruminant
the saute time thcnssociation was sup.
plying its members with such loans as
they required.
It is very creditable to the borrowers
that the end of eighteen months of do
pression finds their interest charges re-
markably well paid up, there being at
this timeless than fifty dollars ($5ll.)in
arrears out of total charges of $1,000.
A striking feature of the rewrt show-
ing is the foot that the association's funds
have been extremely profitably employed
during the whole year. Of the $5,474.40
now in the treasury, $5.200 has been bid
off by borrowers and is now waiting to
be called for, while in the meantime it is
drawing interest. Equally interesting is
the showing of expenses. which for tho
earsmouut only to $12210. Another
tem which members will find accept-
able, is the fact that the association has
not yet met with the loss of one cent.
It seem reasonable to think that the
association’s principles and methods have
established themselves here firmly and
have proven their value and acceptability
to our thoughtful and thrifty population.
No eflort has recently been made to ex-
tend its growth and to thus accumlate
deposits ate time when halting invest-
“ meats made their succeesfulemployment
in building enterprises a matter of doubt.
With the return of normal business con-
ditions, savings will rapidlly accumulate
again and the opportun ty or safely and
.i profitably employing them will naturally
arise. It is in such times that Building
and Loan associations reach their highest
t of usefulness. It is not improb-
ablethat the coming year will bring a
period of reasonable business activity
and prosperity. The settlement of exist-
labordlfllculties and the disposition

oned by that young lady, spent yester-
day on the Sound in Frank Brndbury's
yacht "Gertrude." It was originally in-
tended to sail over t) Long Island, but

taken among the islands, and dinner was
served under the shade trees on Smith’s
Island. In the afternoon the party
landed at Roton, where supper was
served. The picnickers started for home

PAWNED THE BICYCLES.
A WELL-KNOWN NORWALK YOUNG
MAN IN TRUUBLE.
He Secures 'Ilireo Wheels Under False
Pretensea from Nor-walk Dealers and is
Likely to be Brought Into Court Unless
he Makes a Settlement.
A well-known young man. of Non
walk, whose name is withheldfor rea-
sons that will appear later, recently
bought a bicycle of H. R. Buckley on
the installment plan and then pawned it
in Bridgeport. He had paid but a small
sum on the machine, when he visited
Mr. Buckley again and borrowed another
wheel, telling him his own wheel was
broken. This he also pawned.
The young man then secured a bicycle
of C. Ford Sselsy, and pziwned that also.
Mr. seley soon learned that his bicycle
was in u Bridgeport pawn shop, as the
chief of police of that city had discover-
ed it in an investigation he was making
for a stolen wheel. The Bridgeport
agents of the company were notified and
communicated with the manufacturers,
who, in turn, communicated with Mr.
Seeley, as the number corresponded with
that of the wheel sent to him.
Mr. Seeley investigated the affair and
discovered Mr. Buckley’s two wheels
also. Be notified Mr. Buckley and plac-
ed his own case in a lawyer‘s hands, [By
this means Mr. Seeley secured the return
of his wheel and a letter from the young
man threatening him for injuring his
character. He refused to pay any rental
for the wheel, and Mr. Seeley has placed
his bill in the hands of a lawyer. Unless
it is paid tonight he will prosecute the
young man for obtaining money under
false pretenses. .
Mr. Buckley has not yet recovered his
wheels.
General Couch on the Peabody Rifle.
.llr. Srm‘inrl: Your article of Monday,
copied from the Standard, regarding the
worthlcssncss of the Peabody brooch-
loader, which three of our regiments
now carry, might be misleading unless
qualified statements were published,
Those arms have been used by thc statc
troops for the last twenty years or there
abouts, and it is the some coupon which,
under state soldiery, so many trophies
in target tiring have been gained. It re-
quires the same cartridge as the Spring-
field rille, that famous government arm
mainly used by our soldiers in the hotly
contested lndian fights of the last thirty
years, and for practical [field “or service
is substantially as good. The Peabody
easily kills at one—half mile, and would
be dangerous at a mile distant. The
new United States Krag-orgensen, lun-
derstand. carries a small diameter elon-
gated ball, which has a more extended
and swiftcr flight, with some other ad-
vantages. As there is at this time some
nervousness among our fellow soldiers,
Monday morning I availed myself of the
courtesy of State Armorcr Whitney and
inspected some of the gunsin his charge.
They were in line order, which, in the
hands of our loyal state militia. would be

Frank Slocum, a printer, whose homo
is in Winsted, and who is a brother of
RM. \V. J. Slocum, pastor of St. Mary's
church, Norwalir, received a severe sun-
stroke the other day, in Westlield, Mass.
He was walking down the street, when
he experienced a sudden sensation of
weakness. He sought assistance at u
nearby house, where he got a dose of
medicine. As he was leaving the house
he fell fainting to the walk, and remain-
ed unconscious for several hours. Medi-
cal assistance was summoned at once.
and he was taken to the hospital, where
three doctors worked over him a good
share of the afternoon and about 4 o'clock
he regained consciousness. lie will
probably recover, although he was in a
precarious condition.
Closed Down for Inventory.
The Star shirt factory will suspend
operations for two weeks, from next Sat-
urday,saya the Bridgeport Union. It
was said at the office that the shutdown
was to take inventory and make repairs.
The time of year is opportune, for the
reason that many of the girls employed
have their homes in the country and do’
sire a vacation at this time of the year.
Business. it is said, has been uniformly
excellent. in some departments recently
the girls have been employed until 8
o’clock in the evening.

What superintendent Hoyt has to say
Abontvlts Condition.
John H. Hoyt, superintendent of the
fire alarm of Norwalk, was questioned
yesterday, upon the condition of the sys-
tem. He said the system should be re-
paired, but was not as bad as Council-
man Chinery represented at Monday
night's meeting. He also remarked that
if Mr. Chinery or the the committee had
cared to look further, they would have
found another Letter of his, in which he
refused to look after the line unless his
salary wusincreased, as the work was
now nearly four‘times what it was when
the system was established. Tua‘ SENTI-
not. of Tuesday, February 6, 1894, in a
report of a meeting held the previous
night, gives the following report of a
communication Mr. Hoyt sent to the
Court of Bunesecs: "John H. Hoyt, the
superintendent of the fire alarm system,
reported that the sysvem was in need of
immediate repair. He spoke about the
interrningling of the fire alarm With the
electric light and telephone wires, the
poor condition of the fire alarm boxes,
and that the line be rebuilt and insulated
wire used. He said his salary was too
small for him to give it the Work ru-
quit-ed. Chief Prowitt spoke in favor of
Mr. Hoyt’s report and suggested a thor-
ough overhauling of the system. The
matter was left to the fire committee, to
(sport upon at the next meeting.” No
report was ever made, however. Coun-
cilman Chinery was chairman of the the
committee in February as well as now.
