‘ Isle a Vote on his leslgnatlan.

»'~ ‘ A correspondent signing himself "Bap-
tin" writes to the editor of the Stamford
Advocate. saying that his attention has
been called to an item in the Daily Advo-

_ ' cateof July u, giving the substanm of

. an interview with Joseph A. Judge, now
, figuring as pastor of the Rowayton Baps
tist church. Since this matter has come

' before the public through the press, he
asks permission, by the same medium,

to correct some statements that tend to
"give the public ‘a false impression: ‘

(1.) Mr. Judge is spoken of as “Rev.
Joseph A. Judge. of the Rowe ton Bap-
tist church," which title an position
places him before the public as aregular-

, l ordained clergyman and pastor of the

’ denomination. Mr. Judge is

ther. There are two star to full re-
cognition in the Baptist min try. When

The candidate is given a certificate

si by the moderator and clerk of the
council, which gains for him recognition
anywhere in the denomination. Mr.

Judge has never been licensed by his

church, nor ordained by a council of

c . and is therefore neithera licen-

tiate nor ordained ministerof the Baptist

denomination. He has no more claim to
the title “Rev." than any other Christian
worker outside of the regularly ordained
ministry. The Ba tiet denomination
recognizes in the tit e *only a mark of
respect ( which title comes to us from the

Roman Catholics). But it does carry with

it an idea, and if assumed by any one

who has sat fulfilled that idea. be preo

‘ salts himself to the public in a false

ht.

(2) in regard to Mr. Judge coming to
Boweyton. there is a matter of history
prefious to this event that the public
should know In order to view the situa-
tionunderstandlngly. His first appear-
ance in this vicinity was about a year
ago, when he was advertised to lecture
in the Firsthaptist church of Norwaik.
At this meeting Mr. Judge presented
himself to the public as a student, and
the for of the church asked for a col-
] to help him through college.
Twenty-seven dollars was collected and

tedtohim. I know 'es who

gave the last dollar they ad in the

world to help one whom'they supposed
to be a worthy young man struggling for
‘ an education. Mr. Judge deported, and
the people supposed he was spending his
time in study and recitation. But their
astonishment knew no bonds, when dur-
ing the following winter the gentleman
made his appearance with the re-
quest that the First Blplist church back
him in his plans against the Catholics.
But they had had enough, and declined
taking any more stock in projects that
meant collections without rcsu ts. Then,
In Mr. Judge states, he came to Roway-
ton, where he has remained ever since.
(3) Concerning Mr. J udge’s position
as pastor of the Rowaytou Baptist
church, it can be said that, so far as the
church engaged him for six months, and
so far as he fills that position by pulpit
work and pastoral duties, he is pastor of
that church. but without the power to
administer the ordinances, or the right
of recognition outside of that particular
church. The government of our‘churches
is congregational, and one church can-
not dictate to another what it shall do.
But it has the right to determine
whether it will endorse the action of a
church that actsiodependently firstslp
lished usage. So, in this case, t e indo-
t action of the Rowayton Baptist
church in calling Mr. Judge to its pee
toratedoes not entitle ,him to reco m-
tion as such in the denomination. W on
Mr. Jud e says “that in the Baptist de-
nominat if the church said it wanted a
minister tuba its pastor and the minister
accepted. he became pastor of the church
without further ceremony,” he said what
is true. But this does not apply to Mr.
Judge at all. for he does not belong to
the class “minister." But there is an-
other on of history connected with Mr.
Judge’s call to the‘ six-months’ pastorate
of the Rowayton Baptist church that
may be appropriately mentioned here.
Mr. Judge was first invited to supply the
pui tfor six months (the church had
no tentionof settling him as pastor).
but Mr. Judd insisted that the call should
“Pater for six months,” which was
done. According to Baptist polity, when
a church calls a licentltate,
or even it not a Essa-

”and sought to gain admittance to

REPUBLICAN I’DSSIBILITI ES.

Half a Doses Available Candidates for
the Gubernattonal chair.

The New Haven Leader is publishing a

 

series of articleato acquaint its readers

with the next governor of Cbnnectlout.
The leader names six candidates for the
position: General 8. E. Merwin, of New
Haven; Hon. 0. Vincent Collin. of Mid-
dletown; Colonel Frank 'W. Cheney. of
Manchester; Hon. John Addison Porter,

of Pomfret; err-Mayor William H. Marl-

gold, of Bridgeport, and Hon. James D.

Smith, of Stamford.

“Although." says the Leader, “the con-
test for the nomination pf governor is
likely to be a spirited one and possibly it
may be protracted. there is no question
but what there will be entire harmony
when the selection is made, and an over-
whelming Republican success at the
polls in November seems reasonably cer-
tain. From present indications no one
candidate has a sure thing or anything
approaching it.”

The Leader prints a letter from Gener-
al Merwin in which the latter formally
announces that he would take the nomi~
nation. He says: "Until a few months

since I had no thought of ever again be.

coming a candidate for that or any other
office. Some of the most worthy mem-
bers of the Republican party have ap-
proached me regarding thematter and
placed the subject before me in suoha
light that I have consented to allow my
name to go before the convention, and if
it is the wish and will of that honorable
body to accord me the nomination I shall
accept the same, with a full appreciation
of the distinguished compliment. Should
the convention, however. deem it advisa-
ble to nominate another, my friends as
well as myself will :cheerfully acquiesce
in the will of the majority, and rejoice
in the election of a Republican governor,
which I believe is assured.”

of Norwalk's City Council proceedings a
royal good time at Roton Point, last
night. The feature of the occasion was
an excellent shore dinner and all the

and went to the police station. Officer
Lush accompanied him to the saloon.

PULLEII UP THE GATE I’DSI‘S.

 

Mr. Orlmrnlns Makes War on Mrs. Ber-
sog's Fence at Collender's Point.

It very rarely happens that the quiet
existence of the Summer residents on
Collehder‘s Point is disturbed. Collen-
der’a Point was known as Noroton Point
until Hugh W. Collender bought the
propty and changed the name. Then he
built there a handsome summer home
for himself and a cottage for
each of his children. Of late years
these cottages have been routed and
some of them sold. John D. Crimmlns,
the New York contractor. was one of
those who bought property on the point
somewhat more than five years ago.

Mr. Crimmins rebuilt the house in the
style of the Italian Renaissance and laid
out the grounds in front of his house in
pleasing rustle style with others and
summer houses. More substantial im-
provements followed in the shape of a
pier and a sea wall, and back of the
house are large gardens and pasture
lands.

A handsome brass gas lamp with an
elabornt. ly carved bronzspstlestsl stands
at the entrance to the grounds and on a
thickly bevelled plate glass globe are an-
graved the’ words ."Flrwood-onvthe-
Sound," which Is the name Mr. Orlln-
mlns gave his place houses a thick
grove of fir trees lleetothshaokofhls

 

 

first at the beginning of the point. and
front of it was a road called the than
lead. whichwss used by tbsoottagers
who lived further out on the point.
Back of the cottage was a read more fre-
quently used to reach the end of the
t. and this was called the "dingo

' 1" road. it was used by almost every
one that went to the point. not only by

, the otlttagers who dwelt there during the

hammer, but by the residents of Stem-
ford, Noroton. Dorian. and the surround-
ing towns who went out for a drive to
Collender’a Point. The saving of time
by using the diagonal road, instead of
the one which ran directly down to the
point, was very slight, and the road was
so much used principally because it had
become a matter of habit.

The habit had becomeso strong that

there was consternation says a Norotou
dispatch in the New York Sun, when it
was announced that Mrs. Herzog said
that the shore road and the diagonal
road were to be closed up. Although
the shore‘road was little used, the fact
that thocottagers were to’ be deprived of
the usenfof the diagonal road appeared
more do lots. It was explained when
the announcement was made that Mrs.
Hersog’s purchase from the Colleuder
estate hed' entitled her to the property
through which the roads ran, and when
she pleceda fence about her land the
roads wsrsnaturally enclosed.
. There was no active revolt against
closing the shore road on the part of the
families that live on the point, and Mrs.
Herwg’s carpenters set out to build her
fence, whloh, in accordance with the
other scheme of decoration on Collen
der’s Point, was to be rustic in design.
The loss of convenience in using the di-
agonal road was regretted, but every-
body who took any interest in the mat-
ter supposed that the closing of this road
was an assured fact when the carpen-
ters got to work at the rustic fence
around the grounds.

But Mr. Crimmlna. whose grounds are
almost directly opposite those of Mrs.
Hermg, had not been heard from
on the subject. He was heard from,
however, on Saturday afternoon.
The carpenter had complet-
ed the fence, and the gate with the two
posts had been put into place. As soon
asthis was done a party set out from-
i-‘lrwood-ou-the-Sound and started to-
wards Mrs. Herzog's new rustic gate.
The‘party was led by Mr. Crimmins‘ sou
Martin, and his asdsetants were two of
Men employed on his father’s place.
”With their eyes fixed on the rustic gate
they marched down the road, and before
the eyes of the astonished carpenters
they1pulled up the posts and threw them
on the ground. Naturally the gate came
with them.

Whether it was this reflection on the
durability of his work or his wonder at
such an unexpected occurrence that
made the carpenter speechless, nobody
knows. But it is on record that he kept
still while the Crimmius party retired
with this shot:

" And every time you put 'em up we'll
pull ”em down the same. way."

Now the gate stretched directly across
the diagonal road. The fence which en-
closes the remainder of the property was
not touched. Mr. Crimmlns has ex-
plained that his son’s action in the mat-
ter is justified by the fact that when he
bought his place from the Colleuder es-
tate it was stipulated in the dead, that
all the roads on the point open at thatltime
wore to remain open. At this time both
the diagonal and the shore roads were in
use. Mrs. Herzog, on the contrary, says
that her deed entitles her to enclose her
property, and the fact that the roads lie
within the properly she bought entitles
her to enclose them.

Ilartd’. Keeler. of Stamford, the law-
yers for the Collender estate, are looking
out for Mrs. Herzog’s interests in the
matter, and it was said yesterday that
they intended to serve Mr. Crimmlns
with an injunction restraining him from
coming upon Mrs. Herzeg’s property. it
is claimed that the posts which they took
down were on Mrs. Berzog's grounds.
and that the act constituted a trespass.
Mr. Crlmmins' lawyer is Samuel Fessen-
deu, of Stamford. As Mrs. Bert lg is do-
termlued to build a fence around her
grounds,and Mr. Crlmmlus is determ-
ined that the diagonal road shall remain
open, it looks as though Collender‘s Point
would have the most exciting summer of
its existence

New [titles for Taxation of Beets ‘AW

not only sheriffs but clerks of courts Ind

accused will not be allowed fees If the

same as other witness fees. Another pro-
vision ls that officers who have served

the same case will be allowed but one re-
turn fee. Heretofore a return fee has
been allowed on each witness subpontaed.
Neither will the officer who makes ser-
vice in this or any other process be al1
lowed to charge for any mileage except
for the number of times he has actually
traveled. Some abuse of mileage taxa-
tion has obtained in the past through an
oficer’s ambitlou to add a few miles
more than he traveled.

Hereafter a witness shall receive but
fifty cents for the first day of attendance
and ten cents a mile for travel and every
day afterward only ten cents a mile will
be allowed. The order was to allow fifty
cents a day for every day in attendance.
No fees shall be allowed to by-standers
called as witnesses.

The fees of a sheriff are cut down
about one-half in the section relating to
the taking of sentenced persons to state
prison.

Another section is designed to prevent
the excessive taxation or costs sometimes
sent up from lower courts.

Section 11 reads: “Only one fee for at-

prisoner can be taxed in one prosecution."
This takes away a little easily earned for
both from the clerk of the court and the
sherifi. '

The judges have made out an exten-
sive schedule to govern the taintion of
costs in justice courts. The result will
be that a man may be fined by such a
court and be relieved of an extortionate
sum to pay on ingenious bills of costs. ,
