A” Mould-It Taxpayer Who lasls Ag-

sense. is not Bound to Ihow a Grlsvanes
. in tha Matter Peculiar to Himself.
In the appeal of Gerald H. Beard from
the decision of the County Commission-
uu, granting a license to McNamara
fLBtoflwrstc sell liquors on North Main
‘ltraet, near the Congregational church,
when the Supreme Court reversed the
' udgment of Judge Thayer, of the Supe-
rior Court. erasing the case from the
docket, on the appeal taken by Attorneys
Z ' Frost and Light, Judge Simeon E. Bald-
{’13, of the Supreme Court, gave the
’l. opinion as follows:
Chapter cfixxv. of the Public Acts of
1898 (p. 319) gives an appeal to the Supe-
rior Court from a decision of County
Cummissioners granting a license to sell
spirituous and intoxicating liquors to
‘ “any taxpayer of the town in which the
business carried on under such license is
' to be transacted, who shall beaggriev
Section3068 of the General Statutes
provides that all applications for sucha
license must be endorsed in writing by
‘ five electors and taxpayers of the town.
, Such taxpayers must by Section 3049.
, be raidents in the town, owning pro-
perty amassedon its grand list. Any
citiun of the town, by Section 3063,
maylilewith the commissioners objec-
tions to granting such a license. upon
which a hearing. on due notice. must be
had before them.
These statutes contemplate three
classes of persons in every town as hav-
ingaspecisl interest in the proper ad-
ministration therein of the system of
licensing liquor sellers: The taxpayers
who are electors, the taxpayers who are
not electors, and the citizens. generally
without distinction of sex. Without the
mat of five who belong to
the first class, no application
for a license can be considered.
Any member of the third class may be
heard in opposition to such an applica-
tion, and, should the commissioners de-
cide to grant it, any taxpayer, whether
an elector or not, “who shall be aggriev-
ed,”can appeal from their decision to
9 Superior Court.
The term “aggrieved.” as used in our
teas to appeals from Probate, ap—
only to those who can show a di-
rect pecuniary interest in the matter of
the controversy. Had it been intended
that it should receive the same construc-
tion as used in the Act of 1893, the class
in whose favor the right of
. appeal was granted would natur-
ally have been restricted to those
having some interest in landed property
in the immediate vicinity of the place
where the liquors were to be sold. But
the proof of pecuniary damage to such
an interest, even, would necessarily be
difficult. and, since the appeal must be
taken to the next return day after the
grant of the license, must always rest
largely on the opinion of witnesses as to
future probabilities. On the other hand,
every owner of property, assessed in the
grand list of the town in which he to
sides, has a substantial interest in the
prosperity and good order of that town.
The expense of the local police of any
town, as well as of crimnal proceedings
before the local tribunals, is largely de-
pendent on the number of the liquor sa-
loons and bar rooms within its limits,
and the character of those who kept
them. If licenses are granted with
toofres a hand, or without proper dis-
crimination, the burdens of taxation are
likely to be increased. Every taxpayer
therefore has a certain though it may be
small pecuniary interest in having the
license law well administered, and if he
is also a resident in the town where he
we hiataxes, he has an additional inter-
est,commou to every citizen,in promoting
thegeneral welfare of the community.
In view of these considerations, we
think that any resident taxpayer of a
town who feels aggrieved at the granting
of a "sense for the sole of liquors there-
in, has the right to appeal under the Act
of 1893, and that he is not bound tosbow
anygrlsvance of interest in the matter
peculiar to himself, either in his own
motion for an appeal before the County
Commissioners or by reason of appeal in
the Superior Court.
It follows that there was error in eras~
ing the dance from the docket.

Papers in a Civil Suit Served on the Nov.
walls Tramway Company.
The papers in a civil suit for $10. 250
damages were served upon the Norwalk
Tramway company, shortly after 11
oelock last night, by Deputy Sheriff
James Toner. The attachment covered
fourteen cars. the entire rolling stock of
the road. The last car was in the car-
bouse and business was in no wise inter-
fered with. as R. H. Golden receipted
for the attachmentvat 5:30 o’clock this
morning.
When the papers were served Mr,
Toner placed Michael Shields in charge
of the car barn. He then started for
home. but was overtaken by Secretary
Mansfield and Assistant Superintendent
Dunbar, who immediately. upon hearing
of the attachment, set out to luck for a
bondsman. R. H. Golden was settled
upon and they drove to the residence of
Attorney Joseph A. Gray, the lawyer
through whom the suit was brought, to
see if Mr. Golden’s bond would be accep-
table. Mr. Gray was aroused, and was
favorable to the bond. It was .then near-
ly 1 o'clock, so the parties retired until
” early this morning.
The suit was brought by Gilbert and
Martha Horton. husband and wife, of
Broad River. Mr. Horton is employed
as a driver by the Norwalk Street Rail.
road company. His wife and son were
passengers on one of the cars in the col-
lisien near the Walsh property, Sunday,
June 17. She was in a delicate condi-
tion. and the shock brought about the
premature birthi’of a child, causing a
serious and dangerous illness. Dr. S. H.
Huntington, who attended her, informed
the attorney that her health would be
impaired for some time, and that she
might never recover her former health.
Mr. Horton informed a SENTINEL report-
er that his wife was still confined to her
bed, and had been there for the past
three weeks.
The case is returnable before the Sep-
tember term of the Superior Court.
An Engagement Party Postponed.
Invitations were issued several days
ago for an engagement party tomorrow
night, at the residence of William Mese.
berg. in Norwalk, but the affair will
probably not take place. The young
lady in interest was Miss Ida Yankee,
who lives with Mr. and Mrs. A. Malmo,
North Main street, and the man was
Robert Plattner, a baker employed by
Frederick Mead. lilies Yunkes has been
in this country only since November
last, having come over in the same
steamer with Mrs. Malmo, when the lat-
ter returned from a trip to her native
land. She is said to have been acquaint-
ed with Plattner about three weeks. The
reason given for not having the engage-
ment formallfi announced is that she
does not canal or this period of acquain-
tanceship long enough.

TOMMY KIILLY’S lll'llhilT.
The Cause of an Assault Case in
Austin's Court.
An innocent pullet was the cause of
an assault case in Justice Austin's court,
this morning. The scene of the difficulty
was on Chapel street, and the trouble
was between the Dixon and Kelly fami-
lies. Tommy, an over-grown son of
Mrs. Bridget Kelly, was in Mrs. William
Dixon’s yard, next door, after his chicken.
There has been' had blood for some
time between the families as neighbors,
and Mrs. Dixon orderedghim out of her
yard and stoned the chicken. Mrs. Kelly
did not intend to have her boy‘s feelings
hurt, and had Mrs. Dixon arrested.
It was evidently a case that should not
have been brought into court. as the jus-
tice soon snw,aud discharged the prisoner.
This angered Mrs. Kelly and she,pitched
into the justice in the most approved
style. Finally he, ordered her taken to
the lockup. This made Tommy cry, and
quieted Mrs. Kelly so that she begged his
honor‘s pardon and he let her go.
Mrs.Dixon had her feathers rullled bylhe
court proceedings, and she dramatically
announced that she didn’t propose being
arrested and called a chicken murderer
for nothing. Even if she was a little
woman scarcely four feet tall, she had
right big feelings all the same. The police
told her that her long tongue caused all
the trouble. and then Mrs. Kelly chimed
in. Where the farce would have ended
is not known, but the justice, fearing a
hair pulling match, cleared the room.
Mrs. Dixon declared she was too much
excited in her feelings to keep quiet, and
left the room in high dudgeon and ma-
jestically descended the stairs.
Both parties indulged in a curb—stone
argument for some time afterwards, but
finally dispersed without blood shed.
A law that Should be Enforced.
Editor of Sentini'l.—-DEAR Sm: As we
understand it, there is a law prohibiting
the placing of hand bills or other signs
on telegraph poles, trees, or other places
on the public way. If we are rightly in-
formed, it is incumbent upon the select-
men to see that this law is enforced. In
driving about town we have noticed
that our local dealers are refraining from
putting up signs or other advertising
matter, but advertisers from New York
and other cities do not seem to regard
the law at all. if it is the duty of the
selectmen tosee that these laws are en.
forced, we call upon them to give this
matter immediate attention. Yours. eta,
Imam.

David P. Osborn, Jr., claims that he

Mr. Osborn secured the wheels and
Squires then took and pawned them,

O'ltEILLY SALOON CASE.
The County Commissioners Order Alton
ney Bonoecksr to Arrest the Ell-Butldll.
but Bis Place was Cloud Tighter than a
Drum when Countable Lockwood Arrived
The article printed in Tim SBNTINEL,
yesterday, that Ex-Burgess James H.
O'Reilly was conducting an unlicensed
saloon at the corner of Ward and Bar-
riet streets, created considerable surprise
in Norwaik, as it was supposed he had
received a license.
When a Summer. reporter communi-
cated the facts of the case to the County
Commissioners and asked if they had
granted the license. the commissioners
evidently decidezi to act at once, as At-
torney Honnecker received a telegram
shortly after noon, ordering him to arrest
O'Reilly and lock him up. He drew the
papers at once, and when he went up
town to dinner Justice Austin signed
them. Later in the afternoon they were
sent to Constable John S. Lockwocd to
be served, and just here the case
developed some very peculiar phases.
After receiving the papers Constable
Lockwood hustled up into Attorney John
J. Walsh's office, and after remaining
there a few minutes he came out accom-
panied by Mr. Walsh, who. by the way,
iea bosom friend of the ex-burgess. Both
went down Wall street, and a few min-
utes later the constable came walking
slowly back and went to Dunn's livery
stables and procured a horse and carriage
and drove to O'Reilly's saloon, but the
curtains were drawn and the door was
locked. After trying the door, but mak-
ing no other efforts to get into the place,
the constable drove off, while an old
Irishman who had quietly stood on the
corner surveying the scene, dramatically
raised his hands and slapping both knees
cried out, "That‘s the toime Jimmy was
too cute for yez: ye are left. ye are left.”
Another strange coincidence is that Wil-
liam McMullen. Jr., stood on the corner
of Harriet and Elizabeth streets, and as
soon as the constable's turnout came in
sight, be started on a dog trot, not at all
in keeping with a hot day. acrms lots to
O'Reilly’s residence near by.
A number of O'Reilly's intimate friends
remarked last night that they were sorry
he had opened his saloon in defiance of
law,as it had now utterly ruined his
chances of getting a license.
A reporter learned this morning that
Mullen was seen running. through the
Union cemetery about ten minutes be-
fore Constable Lockwood‘s arrival, and
that he went directly to O'Reilly‘s saloon.
The place was hurriedly closed and
O'lieilly went home, while Mullen took
the lookout and immediately came back
down town after the constable left. A
neighbor says there were unusual signs
of activity about the place after the cen-
stnble had driven away

Editor Sentinel: Replying to some of
Chadderton’s insinuations and prevari-
cations in a recent issue of your valuable
paper. it is proper to state that at least
half a dozen persons witnessed ' his
thoughtless act, and were surprised at
the abuse of a privilege graciously tol-
arated by the Consolidated Railroad com- 1
pany, whose property the well in qua-
tion wholly is. All will testify that the
dust he claimed be washed out of hi!
cuspidors, was actually cigar stamps and
old ends, and the same can at present he ‘ '
seen close to the well curb. We do not ,
suppose that he has any serious object-
ion to polluting the water of the well in
question, as it is well-known that he
does not use much clear water as a
beverage; and he certainly cannot claim
that it was the effect of that useful
beverage which caused him to fall de-
liberately into that hole on the railroad
property at midnight.
