TWO CENTS
FREE FROM SICKNESS.
., scorn soawsut IN a PARTICU-
LABLY answer cosnmos.
A‘Oaavsss Among the Physician of the
City Shows that there are but one or
two Cases of Dysentery and only a few
or Cholera lutsutum. .
South Norwalk appears to be free from
the epidemic known as dysentery, and
despite the numerous complaints about
the city water, the city is freer from
sickness than is the city of Norwalk.
A canvass of the physicians in this
place. this morning, showed that at pre-
- sent there are but one or two cases of
dysentery, and none of them at all
serious. There are several cases of
cholera infantum. but none of these are
severe. Two of the physicians seen have
casesof dysentery in the city of Norwalk.
Uptown physicians say that not in the
history of their practice have they had
so many cases of stomach and bowel dis-
orders. particularly among children.
The diphtheria epidemic is also increas-
ing, it is said. The following deaths are
reported:
Elbert Francis, son of Frank S. and
Millie Bailwitz, of Holden avenue, died
last night, aged two years. The funeral
will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3
o’clock.
Jane London, daughter of Mrs. Jane
London, of Winnipauk. died yesterday,
agedtwenty~eight years. The funeral
will be held Sunday afternoon.
Mamie A. Clarkin, infant daughter of
James Clarkin, of Chapel street. died
yesterday, aged one year. The funeral
was this afternoon.
Ethel May King, the infant daughter
of William King, of 13 Lowe street,
died yesterday. The funeral will be
held this afternoon.
Mrs. Harry Gage died at her home in
Cranberry Plains. this noon, of consump-
tion.
Among the Sick.
John Flaherty, clerk for James Suth-
erland, lies at the point of death at his
home on Prospect avenue.
Mrs. Alfred Platt, of 9 Maple street,
has been very ill the past week, but is
no I! slowly improving.
Martin Craw’s condition remains about
same.
WASTE 01‘ WATER.
pg Mayor Slater Issues a Notice to
"a , Careless consumers.
The attention of the city authorities '
has been called to the fact that the city’s
water supply is being drawn upon to
such an extent that if the present drouth
should continue long. we would be in
danger of a water famine. One of the
most enjoyable features of a good water
supply is the sprinkling of our lawns and
gardens in a dry time, yet if this privilege
isa bused it becomes an extraordinary
drain on the water works.
The Water Commissioners” regulation
in this matter of street and garden
washers prescribes that those “shall
onlybe used judiciously without exces-
sive waste between the hours of six and
nine 3. m. and five and seven p. in."
This rule seems to be a very reasonable
one. still many of our citizens persist in
not only sprinkling but running a mini-
sture fountain from their hose nozzles
all day and in some cases all night.
This useless waste of water during a
continued drouth is a cause of alarm
to the Water Commissioners and they
have felt obliged to call on the city au-
thorities to enforce the city ordinance
in reference to waste of water, etc., and
thechief of police has receiVed instruc-
tions to notify those of our citizens who
disregard the ordinance. It is to he
s hoped that all will take a special iutcr—
est in this matter and act for the corn-
mon welfare. John A. SLATE“,
Acting Mayor.
South Norwslk, July 27, 1504.
In Defiance of the Law.
Editor of S'c'nfim‘lm—chalt hm, We
would again call the atwnlion of the
authorities, through your valuable paper,
to the statute law as recorded in Chapter
180, Acts of 1893, regarding the distribu.
tionof hand-bills, and the putting up of
some on any public roadway in the
several towns of the state. There is at-
taobcd to this law a line of $100, or thirty
days in jail, or both. We find that the
Washington street bridge, the telegraph
polmhand many other places on the pub-
lic highway are covered with advertise»
meats. strictly in defiance of the law. if
local merchants cannot have this privi-
lege, why not immediately proceed
against the outsiders, who use our streets
for advertising purposes? Yours, etc,
Irraassrso.

WHERE THEY CAN‘T STEAL MONEY.
The Britto Boys Sent to the County Home
and Slavln to Meriden.
At the further hearing of the cases of
George and Ernest Britto and Charles
Siavln, yesterday afternoon. Justice Bar-
ret decided that the best thing that could
be done with the youths was to send
them back to the institutions they were
released from a few months ago on their
promise to behave themselves.
The Britta boys were committed to the
County Home on the Westport road,
and the officials of the State Reform
School were notified to come after Slavin
and take him back to Meriden.
The $10 the boys stole was the first
money that had ever been left. .m‘. Con-

MET BETWEEN SWITCHES.
Motormen Bring their Cars to a Stand-
still and Avert a Collision.
Another collision on the trolley road
was averted, last night.
The 9:20 car left Roton Point on
timekand when passing adown car on
thevsiding near J. B. Raymond‘s, one
of the Tramway men on the latter car
told the motormen on the car bound for
South Norwalk, that he would not meet
a car on the Meadow street turnout, as
usual. Consequently the up car did not
wait there. '
There was considerable surprise, how-
ever. on the part of the motorman and
passengers when they saw a car coming
rapidly toward them. The up car was
quickly stopped, and after some delay
was hacked to the Meadow street switch
and the other car allowed to pass.
BUILDING THE RETAINING WALL
Substantial Character of the Work to he
Done Here by Contractor Brown.
The masons employed by Contractor
H. H. Brown began work, yesterday, on
the retaining wall to extend from Spring
street east to the Monroe street tower, on
the south side of the tracks.
The work is of a Very extensive char-
acter, as the wall will be the most sub-
stantial of any thus far constructed on
the four~trackiug operations in this vi-
cinity. It will be twelve feet in height,
five feet in width at the base and three
feet at the top.
In its construction there will be used
twelve hundred square yards of stone
and several hundred barrels of cement.

Jersey City Excursionlsts Attack
Manager of the Pavilion.
At Bo'clock yesterday afternoon, the
the
steamer Bay Queen and the barge Co-
lumbia, landed at Shippan Point, bring-
ing 2,000 people upon an excursion given
under the auspices of St. Patrick‘s alli-
ance, of Jersey City.
Two men went to Manager David and
complained that their watches had been
stolen. He informed them that he could
not assist them. Words ensued and the
strangers ended by assaulting David.
This was the nucleus of a free light in
which several hundred persons were
more or less active participants. The
furniture in the pavilion was broken into
fragments by the angry crowd and ' the
structure wrecked. Bricks were thrown
from the pavilion into the mob below.
Bullets from pistols were also fired
point blank into thecrowd. Several per-
sons were wounded. One man whose
name is unknown was shot through the
shoulder. Officer William Hall, who is
stationed at the Point to keep order, en-
deavored to quell the disturbance. lie
was assaulted and badly injured. Henry
Shock, in attempting to assist the officer,
was assaulted and injured. Police were
summoned from Stamford, but before
they could reach the scene the Bay
Queen had left with its cargo.
Fred and Tilden Badgely were found
upon the wharf so badly hurt that they
were unable to leave with the other ex-
cursionists. They were recognized as
leaders in the combat and arrested.
OneJohn Rooney. an excursionist, was
arrested with them.
PHYSICIANS ARE NEGLIGENT
In the Matter of Recording Births with
_ the Town Ciel-Ir.
Town Clerk Smith says it is almost
impossible to keep a correct record of
the births in town,as the physicians do
not make their returns with any regu-
larity. This trouble is not with one or
two, but with nearly all of the medical
fraternity. those standing the highest
and having the largest practice being
the most negligent.
Attorney G. E. Hall, of Bridgeport,
the county health officer, has the matter
in hand and will give Norwslk especial
attention to remedy the matter if he
can. This neglect is just as bad in
Stamford, Danbury, and Bridgemrt as
it is here, and the new incumbent of the
officesces that he has a big job before
him.
Among the state laws is one regard-
ing the registration of births. It pro.
video that physicians who have charge
of such cases shall during the first week
of the month next following the birth
present to the town clerk of the town in
which he is practicing, the facts con-
cerning the birth, giving the names of
the child and its parents, together with
the date and place of its birth.
This rule has been more honored in
the breach than in the observance, all
over the slate. Physicians seem to be
power-used of an idea that if the registra-
tionis made at any time Within six
months, the rcquircuwnts of thc law are
complied with. In many cases, how-
ever, even this has not bet-n done and
there are children in all the larger towns
whose birth is IIl)i.t‘fll.JI’t‘lI (illilll‘ rcmrds.
This negligence might be of great in
jury to some of them in the future and
Attorney Hall is taking vigorous stops
to prevent its continuance.
lie is writing letters to physicians all
over the county, calling their attention
to the statute and their failure to com-
ply with its specifications. It is expected
that thus Iulssives will accomplish the
object they are intended to, but should
they fail other means will be employed.
The law provides a penalty of from $10
to $25 for violations and examples may
be made of some of the delinquents.

NEIGHBORS.
Commissioners Take Testimony in the
Julia Waterbury Case at nation-«Death
of a Veteran at the Soldiers' Home-—
Bowsyton and other News.
The commissioners appointed by the
Stamford Probate Court to hear claims
against the estate of Julia Waterbury,
deceased, came to Darien yesterday for
the purpose of taking the statements of
elderly persons who are not able to
appear in court. Mrs. T. F. Lyon, who
has the largest claim against the estate—
$1,000—bas engaged Attorney J. H.
Olmstead to represent her at the hearing.
There are new four lawyers in it. It
was at Mrs. Lyon’s house that the
woman died. About three years and
three months prior to her death she was
taken there by the selectmen. Her sis-
ter was dead, and the old lady—nearly
eighty years of age—seemed incapable of
taking proper care of herself. It was
not generally known then that she had
relatives, and she had no near ones.
Mrs. Lyon says that the selectmen gave
her tounderstand that the old lady was
to remain at her house only a short time.
Soon. however. some friends secured the
appointment of Mr. Mackey as conser-
vator, and at his desire she was to con-
tinue at the house of Mrs. Lyon. who
was to be allowed $25 per month for her
board, which was paid. Mrs. Lyon
thinks, however. that she is entitled to
receive $1,000 for her services in taking
care of the old lady, and nursing her
while ill. She was in a condition which
at times required constant attention from
Mrs. Lyon. Mr. Mackey, who was con-
servator, is administrator of the estate.
