BUYING MILL RIGHTS.
NORWALK TAKES A STEP TOWABI)
A (“WATER WATER SUPPLY.
Thirteen 'l'houaaad Dollars Appropriatcd
at a flpeeial City Meeting Held Yester-
day Afternoon—A New lllaln Also to be
Laid In the Near Future.
The taxpayers of Norwalk took the in-
. ltiatory step toward securing an increased
water supply, at a special city meeting
held in the Town House, yesterday after-
noon, by voting to purchase or secure by
condemnation proceedings the water
rights between the Groups dam and the
Union Mills.
Mayor E. 0. Keeler presided and City
' Clerk Lockwood acted in his official ca-
pacity.
Water Commissioner Mead made a
statement, saying that the Water Com-
missioners had looked up the matter of
securing the water rights, and had, se-
cured the lowest figures obtainable from
the mill owners alongthe stream between
the Groups dam and the Union Mills.
They estimated the cost at $14,250.
A lengthy discussion ensued as to
whether this amount should be appropri—
ated in a lump or in small amounts for
the purchase of each water right separ-
ately, and as to the propriety of appro-
priating $40,000 for the purpose of in-
creasing the storage capacity of the
Groups reservoir to 100,000,000 gallons,
and laying a sixteen-inch pipe to the city,
a motion to that eflect being made by At-
torney Levi Warner.
B. W. Maples said that money appro-
priated inalump went as slump; that
much better results were obtained from
individual expenditures. He did not
think the city should expend money
without knowing just what it went
for. “We can go a long distance," he
said, "in the course of‘a year, by tak-
ing one step at a time. and if we keep
stepping by doing one» thing at a time
and not attempting two things, we
shall make much better progress. 1,
for one,will not vote for any lumpsums '
A. E. Austin could not see the advan-
tage of not getting some figures concern-
ing the Union Mills rights.
Water Commissioner Mead stated that
the board had talked the matter over with
\V. F. Bishop, but the company, in their
resent insolvent condition, could do
othing, and those rights would probably
ve to be secured by condemnation.
Mr. Austin thought this was the key to
he whole situation.
A. H. Byington stated that, owing to
the condition of affairs of the company,
he could not see how any arrangements
could be made with them. Mr. Bying-
ton then asked if the figures secured by
the Water Commissioners had been giv-
en by an experienced engineer or were
merely their own estimates.
He was told that the figures had been
furnished by Engineer Wood.
Mr. Byington then spoke about an ex-
cellent location fora new reservoir in
the valley between the New Canaan
hills and Huckleberry hills, just above
Daniel's mills, on the present reservoir
stream. He also referred to the scarcity
of water just when we needed it most.
Ashort discussion then cnsuedas to
what the present needs of the city are
and the amount consumed per day. It
was conclusively shown that it. would be
advisable to lay asixteeu-inch pipe, as
the interest on the difference between a
sixteen and twenty-inch pipe in twenty-
five years would be more then enough to
lay another sixteen-inch pipe.
Engineer Wood said the new line of
pipe would not be laid to the reservoir,
but direct to the head of Holden avenue,
thereby gaining a greater fall.
A motion made by Mr. Maples
totake up the matter of securing the
water rights by individual cases, and
that the meeting consider the prices
asked for such rights separately, then
prevailed.
The first case was that of Isaac W,
Daniels. who asked $1,000 to give up his
claim to the city. Alter discussion. the
meeting authorized the Water Commis-
sioners to purchase the right.
Franklin A. Smith wanted $5,000 for
his claim two years ago.hut was now
willing to lot the city have it for $3,500.
This was thought exceuive, and it was
voted that the Water Commissioners
proceed to acquire the rights by pur
chasing for 02, I00, or by condemnation
proceedings.
The same course was adopted with
John ‘W. Buttery, who wanted $3,500
for his rights on the stream.
William W. Austin's claim of $1,000
was thought reasonable, and the pur-
chase of it was authorized.
Henry Guthrie‘s claim to two mlllsltes
was considered worth $3,000, and the
purchase was authorized.
The water rights of W. B. Davis were
purchased for 02,250.
This gave the Water Commissioners
authority toacquirv the rights from the
Group-dam to the Union lianufactun

come before another meeting. ‘

AN ammo sense.
A Merry Party of Young Methodlata have
n Feast and a Frolic on the Wave-
Waahed Sands. than Drive Home by the
Icon Beam'a Silvery Light.
A merrier party has not left this city
for an outing, this summer, than the
band of Epvvorth League-rs and many of
their friends who enjoyed a ride to
Compo Beach, last night. After a rather
lowery day, the evening was heralded by
clear weather, most propitious for such
an affair. The start was made a little
after 6 o’clock, in the carryall “Welling.
ton" and a smaller one, chartered for
the occasion. Over forty members of
the league were in the party, those in
the former conveyance being chaperoned
by Rev. A. S. Kavanagh, who, had he
known the tact required for this great
undertaking, would not, probably, have
assumed the responsibility. Mirth ran
riot along the route to the beach, afact
of which people seated on their planes
evidently became aware,but they did not
know a happy crowd of Methodists were
out for a good time. Mr. Kavanagh,
with his ready wit, and Mr. Stevens,
with his usual bright sayings, helped the
party in the “Wellington" enjoy the ride
tothe fullest extent. Songs were sung
and good cheer reigned. The other car.
ryail followed,containing just as happy a
load of passengers, while the provision
wagon brought up in the rear.
The committee had arranged for
the supper to be spread on the
beach, and after arriving, with appetites
keen, the Leaguers were soon seated be-
side the water, where one of the most
tempting spreads had been laid. To the
eye of an observer the picture was a very
pretty one, with the sun sinking and the
waves lapping the sands near by. The
doxology was sung and then the fun he
gau. Everyone‘s appetite was satisfied
from the array of good things, and much
remained. Before the repeat was over a
large number arrived who were unable
to leave eiirlier, and they, too, had a
good share of the enjoyment.
Supper over the party separated, each
for their own pleasure. A number of
the gentlemen enjoyed a sea bath, the
ladiesawalk on the beach, and others
watched the sports. Later in the even-
ing lanterns were lighted, and by their
dim flicker running races, jumping and
other athletic sports were indulged in.
Minor Randall, Elton Baker and
Charles Hoyt achieved fresh laurels
as athletes, and others acquitted
themselves most creilitably. It now
being late, the party started for
home. The programme was a little va»
ried, as a number had exchanged their
conveyance, and Mr. stanagh was
chief among the smaller party. It was
voted that the party would have been
incomplete had he not attended. The
lioineward drive by the light of the
moon wuss delightfiilonc. Sweet melody
of songs Was waited on the breeze.
It was near the hour of midnight when
all had reached their residences.
It is safe to say that :i more amiable
time has not been enjoyed by the League
in years than the outing of last night,
and those who could not attend missed
the treat of the season.
Nothing occurred to mar the pleasure
of the occasion, “le76 u. mishap to the
smaller carryall on the return trip,
caused by the king bolt dropping out
and necessitating a short delay to make
repairs, could be regarded as such.

Eigthearvold Martln Flynn Drives Oi!
With Fred Bcnfleld'a Turnout.
About 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Fred Scofield, an agent of the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance company. left his
horse and carriage standing near the
company’s ofice. which is over the First
National, bank, on Washington street,
while he went up stairs. When he re-
turned the turnout had disappeared. He
at once notified the police, and a search
was instituted. The services of Officer
Pennington were secured and with him
Mr. Sooileld started for Rowayton, where
it was learned the horse had be seen. It
was being driven through the streets by
Martin Flynn, the eight-year-old son
of Stephen Flynn, the boy who walked
into Druggist Stillson‘s store, Monday
night, and indulged in a nap, as related
exclusively in yesterday's Snowman. The
little fellow was stopped in Rowayton by
a resident of the place, who inquired if it
was not Mr. Scoiield’s turnout. The lad
replied that he thought it was, and that
hewas going to take it to the owner’s
home, after he had had supper. lie was
told where Mr. Scofield lived, 58 Taylor
avenue, and started in that direction.
He left the horse there and then disap-
peared and nothing has since been heard
of him, as he did not return home last
evening, probably fearing he would be
punished by his parents. It is not likely
Mr. Sooiield will prosecute the lad, as his
property was not injured in any way.
ATTACKED BY A VICIOL‘S HORSE.
A Cranberry Plnlna Little Girl Bitten and
Tramplad Upon.
Adistressing accident occurred at Cran-
berry Plains, last evening, when the little
daughter of Joseph Lichtinter was kicked
in the face by a horse and nearly tram-
pled to death. The animal, which is
owned by David Tiukler, was put out
to pasture in a lot near where Mr. Lich-
tinter pastured his cow, it was not sup-
posed the animal was vicious, so the little
girl started to cross the lot to reaco her
father's pasture. When half way across
the horse started for her, and after at-
tempting to bite her, knocked her down
and kicked and trumped on her. Her
cries seemed to frighten the animal and
he walked away.
The little girl painfully made her way
home and is confined to her bed today
from the injuries she received.
ROWAI’TON.
A pleasant company of young people
gathered at the home of Thomas Darling
last evening, at areception in honor of

After enjoying games on the lawn until

of cream, cake and coffee was sef’ved,
after which games and singing were re-
sumed. The company broke up about 1‘3
o‘clock. all reporting an enjoyable even-

HIS STAMFORD IIECIIIID
THE ADVOCATE (WERIIAL‘LS PINS-
BCUTING AGENT BONNECKER.
People in that City Surprised to Learn
that In Is Still Dolng Business at the
Old Stand After Illa Queer Tactics in
Feveral Liquor Cases.
The Stamford Advocate of yesterday
said: “It was rumored last spring that,
after developments growing out of some
of Prosecuting-Attorney Honuecker's op
erations in Stamfordhduriog the month
of February, the County Commissioners
had given the enterprising young man
an intimation that his resignation of the
office which empowers him to prosecute
liquor-dealers would be most acceptable,
and that he acted upon their suggestion.
Such, however, seems not. to be the case,
for he has just been furnishing material
for interesting reading matter in' the
papers of the twin cities. ‘
After printing the story of the
O'Reilly case, substantially as
it has appeared in THE Saarinen,
and referring to the fact that Mr. Hon-
necker did not treat THE SENTINEL re-
porter properly in his examination of
him at Monday ‘s trial, the Advocate
says:
"it will be remembered that last Feb-
ruary a couple of Honuecker’s hirelings
came over here on a Sunday and bought
liquor in several saloons. The spirits
had such an effect upon one of them that
he kicked up a row when he got home
and was sent to jail. Honnecker came
here and wanted to present his evidence
to the Civic League. Representatives of
that organization declined to treat with
him. Then he drew up a dozen warrants
and took them to Judge Downs for signa-
ture. The judge signed a couple of them
and said that it might be as well to delay
signing the others until these were tried.
Several weeks afterwards, Attorney
Walsh, of Norwalk, ithc man who de-
fended O'Reilly yesterday; appeared be—
fore the City Court, representing lion-
necker, and moved to polls these cases
betause one witness was in jail and the
other could not be found The nolle was
entered.
"In the meantime, llUV-‘téit-‘l‘, itappear-
ed that Honuecker had been "settling"
with the other liquor dealers against
whom complaints had been drawn. on
the basis of $03 apiece. Several dealers
paid that sum. Lawyers in Stamford
expressed astonishment at the transsz
tion. Nobody ever came forward to show
what right Mr. Honnecker bad to consti-
tute himself a court and impose penal-
ties. It was given out that the $63 was
“costs," and that the cases were to be
“trolled." But the costs legally taxable
would not amount to anything like that
sum, and it is customary to nulls a case,
if at all, with the knowledge and consent
of a court. These cases never had been
brought before the court, because no
warrants had bur-ll issued by Judge
Downs. Through the interference of the
legal representative of the Stamford
liquor dealers, .‘lr. llotineckcr returned
about half of the money in some if not
all the instances.
”Members ofthe liiir here expressed
themselves very warmly about lionneck-
er‘s conduct, and there was talk of pro-
ferring charges against Illill, but the
thing was let drop. Mr. Honnccker has
not shown a disposition to uphold the
supremacy of the law in Stamford since
that time, and it will be news to a good
many people here that he is still doing
business as prosecuting agent at the old
stand."

ldgar H. Fox on the Laying Out and
Widening of West Street. '
Editor of The Sentinel.8m: Under “
the bead-line of “A Petition Presenwd,"
it is noticed that reference is made tothe
proposed widening of Elm Grove place
jointly and in connection with theatraigh-
tening and widening of the Rotony Hill
road. This work is not only necessary,but
vitally essential, and should be done at
once. Your head-lines are slightly mis-
leading, and I trust you will pardon the
correction. The Widening of Elm Grove
place is not under consideration at all in
this last petition, but in this connection
and for the information of the
readers of THE Saxrmat. it might
be well to state that a petition
was actually presented two years ago for
alayout, not only of Elm Grove place,
but also of West street to the city
line. The last petition relates only to the
widening and straightening of the Roma
Hill road from the city line to the resi-
dence of Jacob B. Raymond. At the
time of the presentation of the petition
relativeto the proposed widening and
grading of West street and Elm Grove
place, the layout was adopted without
any serious objection from either Coun-
cil or property-holders. Last year’s
Council, in the face of all this, laid the
widening and grading of Elm Grove
place upon the table, pleading as their V
cause for such action the “poverty act,"
but promising that as soon as practical
work upon West street should be begun
and pushed rapidly to completion. 7
The question of streets versus roads
has been agitated and kept constantly
before the public and the demands of the
property-holder are ignored absolutely
by the men we have placed in office, and
who are elected by the people to see that
our laws are properly carried out. Six-
teen or eighteen years after South Nor-
walk had city water, I am informed,
pipes were laid to supply a few residents
of this locality with the precious liquid.
Three years ago, upon our petitioning for
electic lights. we were told of a lot of old
city lamps stored in a barn somewhere,
and that we Could have a light from one
of those lamps, provided we would fill
the lamps. trim, etc. Real magnana-
mous, wasn't it: But we didn't have
that light. It is to be noted, however,
that our tax money is just as acceptable
as that of the citizen more favorably lo-
cated as regards benefits and dam
especially the former. We accepted.
what the council saw fit to dole out to us
two years ago, the laying out and grad—
ing of West street, believing then, as we
do now, that “half a loaf is better than
none." We were informed that "work
would be begun as soon as practiced. "
Fearing that many suns must rise and
set, or that many of us will have been
“under the daisies" before this millenium
comes, but duly notifying the public and
citizens of this commonwealth that we
still exist in spite of all the robiitfs from
city officials, and that it is our intention
to“light it out on this line," I remain
one of many sufferers.
Respectfully submitted,
Emult H. Fox.

the unusual barrenness of their table,
when they never live any better. They
decry their most luxurious entertain-
